Whither Malaria? From Control to Eradication
The malaria public health paradigm is shifting from control to elimination and eradication. What is the progress at the front line, what are we learning, and what are the critical knowledge gaps and research questions?
How Does Basic Science Translate into Usable Interventions in Neglected Diseases?
The new focus on neglected infectious diseases challenges every aspect of science and public health, from basic discoveries to interventions (drugs, vaccines, and vector-based interventions), as well as strategies to finance and delivery. Progress and lessons will be drawn from the fields of malaria, guinea worm, dengue, Chagas, and others.
Impact of Philanthropic and Not-for-Profit Organizations on Global Health Policy: Malaria as a Case Study
The global health agenda has become increasingly complex, with new actors, organizations, and ways of engaging and showing results. Malaria illustrates the story – how products are developed, policies are set, projects become national programs, global targets are drawn, and impact is measured.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH – Regina Rabinovich
Dr. Regina Rabinovich is a global health executive with over 25 years of experience in the research, public health, and philanthropic sectors, with focus on strategy, analytics, global health product development, and the introduction and scale-up of tools and strategies resulting in impact on endemic populations. She is currently serving as the ExxonMobil Malaria Scholar in Residence at Harvard University. Prior to joining Harvard, she served as Director of the Infectious Diseases Unit at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (from 2003-2012), overseeing the development and implementation of strategies for the prevention, treatment, and control of diseases of particular relevance to global health, including malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea, and neglected infectious diseases.
Dr. Rabinovich has also served in various positions at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), focusing on the development and evaluation of vaccines. She participated in the Children's Vaccine Initiative, a global effort to prevent infectious diseases in children in the developing world, and served as liaison to the National Vaccine Program Office, focusing on vaccine safety and vaccine research. As chief of the Clinical and Regulatory Affairs Branch of the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, she managed the evaluation of candidate vaccines through a network of U.S. clinical research units.
In 1999, Rabinovich became director of the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative, a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to advance efforts to develop promising malaria vaccine candidates. She joined the foundation in 2003. She serves on the boards of several organizations focused on global health and infectious diseases, including the NIAID Council and the NIH Council on Councils, PATH Vaccine Solutions, and AERAS.
Dr. Rabinovich holds a medical degree from Southern Illinois University and a Master of Public Health degree from the University of North Carolina. Her undergraduate degree is from the University of Iowa.

Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX), Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, commented on today's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that the economy created an additional 176,000 private sector jobs in April and that the unemployment rate declined by 0.1 percentage point to 7.5%.
"Today's jobs report clearly exceeded the expectations of most economic forecasters. Let's hope this is the beginning of a trend. Even with today's report this recovery has still produced 4.1 million fewer private sector jobs than the average of other post-World War II recoveries," Brady said.
Brady continued, "Even the White House admits America's unemployment rate may not return to its pre-recession level for another decade. Clearly the anemic economic growth of this recovery - particularly the lack of strong business investment in buildings, equipment and software – isn't sufficient to accelerate private sector job growth."
Brady cautioned that today's report "May turn into another false signal that the labor market is improving. We've seen this before. I hope what some have referred to as green shoots in the past don't turn out to be another crop of weeds."

WILLIAMSON - The West Virginia State Police (WVSP) arrested a Delbarton resident, Tabitha Meade, age 30, over the weekend on felony charges of grand larceny and conspiring to commit grand larceny.
According to the criminal complaint obtained from Mingo County Magistrate Court, WVSP Trooper C.A. Douglas responded to a larceny complaint at the residence of Charles Cohenour of Varney in the early morning hours of Saturday. The victim stated that he had discovered several firearms missing from his home including a Remington Model 1100 12 gauge shotgun valued at approximately $500, a Winchester lever-action commemorative railroad spike 30/30 rifle with a value of $3,000 and a Browning 22 caliber pistol, valued at $800. In addition to the guns, the victim also relayed to the trooper that he was missing an air compressor ($125), a Car MD ($59), and a Dewalt brand saw ($100).
The home owner told the officer that when he left for work on Friday, September 13, the above listed items were still in his home and garage. Cohenour stated that he had left Meade at his house while he was at work. The victim alleged that he had reviewed calls on his phone that had come into his residence while he was gone and said that Jean Anne Gilco had made several calls to Meade during this time frame, and further disclosed that the two females had spent time together in prison.
The victim told police that he spoke with his neighbor and was informed that a vehicle matching the description of the one owned by Gilco was seen sitting in his driveway with its back hatch open earlier on Friday evening. At this time, Meade was located and taken into custody, and reportedly gave Trooper Douglas a recorded confession in which she admitted to assisting Gilco and a male subject she referred to as K.J." with the robbery of the two of the guns and the air compressor, stating that she exchanged the stolen property for three Roxicodone tablets which she crushed and injected into her arm. She denied having any knowledge of the whereabouts of the other items but added that she was not with the other two alleged thieves the entire time they were inside the home.
Meade was arraigned before Mingo County Magistrate Dallas Toler and was remanded to the custody of the Southwestern Regional Jail on a $7,000 bail where she still remains.

I have been dancing both ballet and modern dance for most of my life and hope to continue it for as long as I can. Apart from dance, I love doing yoga, spending time with friends and family, traveling, and cooking! I am a complete foodie and love trying out new, healthy recipes.

GRAHAM — Lenaira Ruffin's demonstrative fist pumps that punctuated some of River Mill's best moments turned subtle and reserved as she dribbled away the final seconds Friday night.
"I'm not going to show too much excitement because we've still got to get farther than we have previously," she said. "We've got a lot more to accomplish. A whole lot more."
Plenty seems possible after the Jaguars overwhelmed visiting Plymouth 64-38 to deliver their third blowout victory in the Class 1-A state playoffs for girls' basketball.
Daijah Faucette's 18 points led three players in double-digit scoring as River Mill, slicing through Plymouth's pressing defense and thriving in transition, reached the regional round of the state tournament for the fourth consecutive season.
River Mill (26-3) next meets Riverside (28-1) in an East Regional semifinal Tuesday night in Fayetteville.
And the Jaguars remain on the hunt for their first state championship berth in school history.
"I think it'll be very different for us this time," Faucette said. "I think we have a better chance of making it farther than we have before.
"Everybody thought this team (Plymouth) was going to be the deal. Everybody thought we were going to lose (Friday night). But I think if we play the way we played here, and just play good defense, we'll be able to keep moving on."
Minimal resistance was encountered against Plymouth (21-5).
With Ruffin (10 points) operating in control as something of a point forward, River Mill pushed the tempo and wore down the Vikings in the open court.
"It was a fast-paced game," River Mill coach Hamilton Perkins said. "We were able to break their press and it seemed like it deflated them a little bit."
Kena Brincefield added 10 points, Marla Crawford contributed nine points, eight rebounds and six steals and Lenaja Ruffin grabbed 10 rebounds for the host Jaguars.
Plymouth led 5-2 early, but that became no cause for concern. River Mill had raced ahead 20-7 after one quarter and 33-17 by halftime.
Then, with Lenaira Ruffin swishing a 3-pointer, Faucette running and scoring twice on fastbreaks and Kayla Burns' three-point play off an offensive rebound, River Mill reeled off a 10-0 burst during the first 81 seconds of the second half.
"We turned the defense up and we didn't let up," Faucette said.
"In the locker room we were just talking about, 'keep pushing,' " Ruffin said. " 'Push the ball, share the ball.' "
River Mill built a lead as large as 29 in the second half. The Jaguars were up by 24 midway through the fourth quarter when Perkins burned the first of two rapid timeouts in a nine-second span.
The message there?
"To maintain focus," Perkins said. "We were out of position on a couple of inbounds that led to a turnover. We just wanted to remind them to remain focused."
Kristy Gibson's 17 points topped Plymouth.

Comments about NEW BALANCE Girls' Basic Sports Bra:
Bought these sport bras for my 10 year old daughter because she didn't like wearing white shirts without them. These bras seem to bother her after a few hours. Her friend had a sports bra made by another company and liked the feel of it when she tried it on. I wish I had spent the extra money for the other brand instead. However, my daughter is very particular about everything. In all fairness, it seems like an okay bra.

The failure of Congress to prevent the budget sequester—the automatic cuts in government spending that were put in place as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011 deal—means that approximately $85 billion in planned spending will be removed from the federal budget beginning this month. With Congress at an impasse over how to resolve long-term issues such as reforms to the nation's tax code, entitlement spending, debt, and deficit reduction, the spending cuts enacted by the sequester could remain in place indefinitely.
While the cuts officially took effect on March 1, it could be many weeks until the full consequences of sequestration are realized. With little known about the immediate impact of the cuts there is an ongoing debate about how much hardship they will actually bring. Some point to a stock market that has performed well thus far in 2013 as a sign that the long-term financial outlook looks strong despite the cuts, while others argue that reducing spending now in the face of a fragile economic recovery could imperil any gains that have been made. And while most the debate has focused on the markets and larger-scale economics, there is even less clarity on the impact the cuts will have on individual Americans.
In this month's feature, Sellinger School faculty members Frank D'Souza, Ph.D., assistant professor of finance, and Jeremy Schwartz, Ph.D, assistant professor of economics, consider the impact of the sequester.
Having passed the March 1 deadline for the sequester to begin taking effect, financial markets have not skipped a beat and continue to move forward buoyed by anticipated positive jobs numbers. Chairman Ben Bernanke's commitment to keeping interest rates low for the foreseeable future has also helped the stock market surge and pushed the Dow to new highs.
The sequester is different from the fiscal cliff that was avoided at the start of the year, which is why we don't see much panic in financial markets after the missed deadline. With the sequester, there is still a possibility that a more reasonable solution may be hammered out this month. If not, then we will see the first of these gradual cuts begin in April and the adverse impact of these cuts will be reflected in Q2 2013 economic data.
For now though, the market does not seem overly concerned. The Sellinger Applied Portfolio run by our finance students has also had a great run since the start of the year.
As one deadline passes, however, a much bigger deadline looms on the horizon—March 27, the day that the continuing resolution appropriations legislation to fund government expires. If this deadline passes without any action, markets are likely to react much more negatively.
The automatic cuts to federal spending, known as the sequester, are the latest example of poor economic and fiscal management from Washington. While the U.S. faces a serious long-term fiscal challenge, the timing of spending reductions is critical. Worker furloughs and reductions in government contracting reduce demand in the economy at a time when unemployment is still high. This reduction in demand, which will impact our region disproportionately, is compounded by the recent expiration of the payroll tax holiday. Together lower demand will reduce firms' hiring plans from what they would have been had we avoided the sequester.
One needs only to look at Europe's recent poor economic performance to see the consequences of such policies. In contrast to Europe, where austerity was forced upon nations facing unsustainable interest rates on their sovereign debt, U.S. rates are at historic lows. This gives U.S. policymakers the opportunity to make critical investments in the economy now and form a credible plan to deal with deficits to be implemented when the labor market has healed.
Further, the spending reductions will have very little impact on our long-term fiscal challenges, which are the result of an aging population and exploding health care costs. The sequester excludes all programs related to these issues, while cutting infrastructure, scientific research, and education spending, all of which are relatively inexpensive and critical for future economic growth. The sequester's adverse impact on growth and distraction from the true drivers of government spending will make it harder to reach a sustainable budget in the future.

Results vs. Allen University (2006-11-15 19:00:00)
November 15, 2006
|Pfeiffer Wins Opener 108-73
|Wednesday, 15 November 2006
Misenheimer, NC---Pre-Season All-American DeMario Grier scored 26 to lead Pfeiffer (1-0) to a 108-73 victory over visiting Allen (0-1) Wednesday night. Logan Call added 20 and Tavares Cooper had 19. Pfeiffer forced 31 turnovers and shot 57% from the field in the victory.
Pfeiffer used their up-tempo offense and pressure defense to win their opener against Allen University by a score of 108-73. Allen had an early lead of 10-7 but the Falcons held Allen scoreless over the next four minutes and went on a 10-0 run to take a 17-10 advantage. Allen came back and tied the score at 22 with 7:08 left in the half. Pfeiffer went on a 12-0 run over the next 2:11, behind two Grier three-pointers, to take control. Pfeiffer kept up their pressure and built a 49-30 lead at the break. The Falcons forced 21 turnovers and held Allen to 40% shooting in the first half.
Pfeiffer scored the first 5 points of the second half to give Allen no chance to come back. Pfeiffer shot over 60% from the field in the second half as they built their lead to as much as much as 44 before finally winning by 35. Pfeiffer used a total team effort as all 13 players contributed with eleven different Falcons scoring.
Grier led Pfeiffer with 26 points including 7 three-pointers. Call and Cooper controlled the paint as they combined for 39 points on 16 for 20 shooting. Point guards Robert McGriff and Derek Moore ran the Falcon offense nearly flawlessly combining for 15 assists and only 2 turnovers.
Coach Davis added, "I thought our defensive intensity was terrific for a full forty minutes. Robert McGriff was awesome at the point with 7 assists and only 1 turnover. Our inside presence was outstanding as Logan scored 20 on 9-13 shooting and Tavares shooting 7-7 and scoring 19 points. DeMario played a complete game for us scoring 26 and taking probably six charges."
Pfeiffer will return to action next Tuesday when they host Mount Olive at 7:30 pm in their conference opener.

Each year, the Princeton Review releases its comprehensive list of colleges ranked by the extracurricular and social offerings on their campuses, how happy their students are, and which are the most religious or LGBT-friendly, among countless other categories. But the distinction that gets the most attention year after year is the school the review dubbed as the top "party school" - an honor that may be lauded by students by dreaded by school administrators and parents. Interested in knowing who made the cut? Check out the top 10 below:
Curious as to how the ranking are determined? The Princeton Review collects its data based on survey responses from 130,000 students across more than 370 college campuses. The "party school" ranking comes from responses on alcohol and drug use, hours spent studying and how prevalent Greek life is on each campus. For more on their methodology, click here.

Despite the hefty sticker price associated with all Ivy League institutions, estimated yearly costs are actually quite affordable. In fact, Ivy Leaguers graduate with less debt than their peers who attended less prestigious schools. How? Turns out healthy endowment funds play a huge role in aiding low-income, middle-income and even upper-income students with tuition costs. Score!
According to statistics from U.S. News & World Report, many of the best colleges in the county are relative steals for the lucky few who earn admission. For example, Princeton University students graduate with about $5,096 of debt for all four years – the lowest sum for alumni leaving a national university with debt. Amy Laitinen, a former White House education adviser now at the New America Foundation, said, "Folks look at the sticker price and assume that's what everyone is paying. The truth is that the more elite schools have more resources."
But with acceptance rates hovering at less than 10 percent, gaining access to those Ivy League dollars is fiercely competitive. Do you think it's fair for students who don't meet the Ivies' steep admissions standards to be saddled with crippling debt or should the few that do be rewarded with an affordable, brand name education? Let us know what you think in the comments section.

Have you ever encountered a situation where superhuman strength would have come in handy? Sure, who hasn't? Well, thanks to four engineering students from the University of Pennsylvania, it seems as though comic book-like brawn may soon become a reality.
The Titan Arm was designed to help ordinary individuals undergoing physical rehabilitation or those who would benefit from a little extra muscle. The upper-body exoskeleton is essentially a battery-powered arm brace attached to a backpack that would provide the wearer with the ability to carry an additional 40 pounds. The students – Nick Parrotta, Elizabeth Beattie, Nick McGill and Niko Vladimirov – have already won at least $75,000 in prize money for their design. "There is certainly a market, but it's slowly emerging because the systems are not perfect as yet," said Paolo Bonato, director of the Motion Analysis Lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. With that in mind, the Titan Arm team hopes to refine their prototype, considering different control strategies, more innovative materials and manufacturing. (For more on this story, click here.)

With the cost of a college education continuing to skyrocket, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become increasingly popular. If you're not familiar with MOOCs, they provide students with the opportunity to study high quality courses online with prestigious universities – we're talking Harvard, Yale and Stanford – for free. Well, at least, that used to be the case: Udacity, one of the three MOOC providers, said on Wednesday that it would no longer give the opportunity to earn free, "non-identity-verified" certificates.
On the bright side, students will still be able to view Udacity's online-course materials without paying but those looking to earn a certificate to prove they've mastered the material will have to pay for it. The policy change, effective May 16th, is to help employers take MOOCs more seriously, Udacity's founder Sebastian Thrun said in a blog post. "Discontinuing the 'free' certificates has been one of the most difficult decisions we've made," wrote Thrun. "We know that many of our hardworking students can't afford to pay for classes. At the same time, we cannot hope that our certificates will ever carry great value if we don't make this change." Currently, Udacity offers two types of courses: full and free. (The "full" courses cost $150 per month and include personalized support, project-based assignments, job-placement services and the coveted verified certificate while the free courses only include access to the online course material.) "We keep working hard to bring you the best learning experience. Sometimes it means making tough choices – this was one – to maximize the learning outcome for our students," he said. "I can't wait to see more employers seek you out for the skills you develop on Udacity." (For more on this story, click here.)

If you're a high school senior, you'll be faced with a major decision in the coming months: choosing the right college. And while there are myriad factors to consider when making your decision, campus housing can be a crucial piece of the puzzle. For the most part, students are required to live in campus housing during their freshman year while upperclassmen tend to live off-campus in apartments. The reason: Most larger universities just don't offer enough on-campus housing to accommodate their entire undergraduate populations. Yet, that's not always the case because some prominent institutions with large endowments offer housing for all undergraduates.
According to an analysis of student housing data provided by the U.S. News & World Report, students at many of the country's top ranked schools opt to remain on campus until they graduate. Of the top 10 national universities with the highest percentage of students living on campus, five are Ivy League institutions. Check out the complete list below (schools are ranked by the percentage of their undergraduate student body living on campus).

High school seniors, are you down about not getting a fat envelope from any of the colleges you applied to? College students, are you looking to transfer from your existing institution? Don't freak out: There are hundreds of colleges that are still accepting applications.
According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling's (NACAC) annual College Openings Update, 270 schools are still accepting applications for freshmen and transfers as of May 9th. The list is comprised of schools that didn't fill all open spots for next year's freshman class, are seeking transfer students or have enrollment deposit deadlines later than the May 1st norm. While the majority of schools on the list are small, private colleges with enrollment between 1,000 and 5,000 students, there are a few large, public institutions on the list, too. Check out a sampling below:

Unless you plan on paying for your college education out-of-pocket, completing the FAFSA and applying for scholarships are essential in your quest for financial aid. But have you considered federal programs that forgive student loan debt almost entirely? It's an increasingly popular option: According to reports, government officials are trying to rein in federal programs that forgive some student debt, amid rising concerns over the plans' costs and the possibility they could encourage colleges to push tuition even higher.
The fastest-growing plan requires borrowers to pay 10 percent a year of their discretionary income in monthly installments. The unpaid balances for those working in the public sector or for nonprofits are forgiven after 10 years while those private-sector workers see their debt wiped clear after 20 years. And while there is currently no limit on such debt, the Obama administration has proposed to cap the amount eligible for forgiveness at $57,500 per student. The cost? A report last week from the Brookings Institution estimated that the plan could cost taxpayers $14 billion a year! "Loan forgiveness creates incentives for students to borrow too much to attend college, potentially contributing to rising college prices for everyone," the study said. The authors went on to recommend the forgiveness provisions to be scrapped entirely. (For more on this story, click here.)

If you're a recent college graduate, chances are you'll have to start paying off your student loans sooner than you think. And even with the economy in a slump, don't expect a free pass on not paying them back. So while keeping track of the multiple loans you've accrued during your college career is tasking, it's important to understand your options. An often overlooked possibility is private loan consolidation. Aren't familiar? Allow me to explain.
A consolidation loan can simplify the loan repayment process by allowing the borrower to combine several types of loans into one. And often, the interest rate on a consolidation loan is lower than the rate on a typical student loan. Until recently though, few banks have offered consolidation loans for private student debt. Why? According to a report last year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, part of the problem was the high cost of marketing to potential borrowers and finding adequate financing to provide the loans. But that may be changing: In January, Providence, R.I.-based Citizens Bank said it would begin offering private consolidation loans which could signal that change is afoot nationally. Wondering who should consider a consolidation loan? It's an ideal option for students who have finished school, are gainfully employed and have been making on-time payments on your private student loans for at least a year or two. The real advantage of refinancing is the chance to get a lower interest rate on your debt and to simplify their monthly payments into a single bill. (For more on this story, click here.)

Look, we'll be on the merry-go-round until we get blue in the face about this subject.
My whole purpose was to point out that certain fighters seem to get passes for their transgressions while others aren't. I'm sure this stems from personalities and how the people on these forums view any given fighter.
TRT is and will be a hotly debated subject moving forward in MMA and any other sport. Where the line is drawn, what is legal, what isn't legal, etc.
All I know is what I see with my own eyes. Vitor has been busted once for steroids. Not elevated testosterone levels or anything like that. Steroids. He comes in to the UFC and has the body of a fantasy football player. Within a year and half (all the while rehabbing an injury), Vitor comes in looking like he did at the age of 19. At the same time of this big run, he hasn't stepped foot out of Brazil.
All of these to me are red flags. I guess I'm just shocked after reading all the comments following Chael Sonnen and UFC 117, to see the same people saying "Oh just forget it." "It's no big deal!" "Hey it's not the TRT, it's his fists."
That isn't consistent.

Terry Jones and the mysterious film-maker: When will the US deem him a threat to national security?
The ugly face that angered millions of Muslims, Pastor Terry Jones, today emerged as one of the faces behind the latest offensive movie. Not really a surprise given his previous Quran-burning stunts but a step up the publicity scale for him nonetheless.
It started yesterday following the news that the nice-guy, Chris Stevens, US Ambassador to Libya and former Peace Corps member had died. The investigation into the man behind the film that had offended so many Muslims was in the offing, and many across the Arab sprung world and beyond wanted answers.
Reactions to the film fell back into the time-honoured patterns: the burning of US flags, talk of fatwas and, this time, murder. US embassies came under attack just because the film was said to be distributed by US companies. Later it emerged that the filmmaker himself hailed from California. Frustrated, impotent but explosive reactions saw a decent peace-loving man dead.
"The movie that insulted Mohamed"
The Innocence of Islam trailer--which was uploaded to YouTube--caused 14 minutes worth of offense to Muslims and left others shaken by the tasteless nonsense they were giving their tea breaks to. Unlike Rushdie's Satanic Verses, this was no high-brow novel by a former believer with a nuanced view of life. It was B-list, dubbed, drivel.
In the small number of frames which were available on the internet, the character of the Prophet Mohammed comes across as a child-molesting murderer, who encourages his followers to follow his example. It is a biography few Muslims recognize. The movie shows "Umar bin al-Khattab" to be a fancier of young boys, and "Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq" to have one eye -the only purpose served being cartoonish and crass nastiness. Leaving aside the Islamphobia, the film also corrupted the story of the Prophet Mohammed's friendship with an old Arab Christian priest. The film portrays that theologian--Waraqa Ben Nawfal--to have concoted the Quran as a kind of evil ploy against Mohammed.
Unlike the previous Islam/West scandals with Scandinavian caricaturists and Geert Wilders in Holland, this was not the work of a militant secularist. Instead, the motifs used throughout the film, which any English reader will know from Gibbon, reveal overtly Christian overtones. Terry Jones, a fundamentalist Protestant preacher from the US who had suggested burning the Quran--for, well, no apparent reason--a few years back was quickly shown to be one of the backers of 'Innocence'. Perhaps more poignant and dangerous for Arab community relations was the involvement of Coptic Egyptian emigre Morris (or Maurice) Sadek. It is not clear whether or not Sadek provided the horribly dubbed voice-overs in semi-comprehensible Egyptian Arabic. With tensions between Muslims and their neighbouring communities--Pakistan/India, Myanmar, the Philippines and East Asia--high anyway, and with the unruly nature of the Arab Spring in full blow, it was only going to be a matter of time before somebody was hurt. It didn't help that the filmmaker was identified--by the US public broadcaster NPR--to be not only Jewish, but Israeli.
So it came to be a perfect storm for the devoutly conspiracy-minded in North Africa: the Copts, the Jews/Israelis and America (in the guise of Hollywood movie financing) were all lined up against them. This at the time when the Arabs were finally free of their dictators. It was a tinder box, and Terry Jones, Maurice Sadek and whoever the hell Sam Becile (Imbecile?) is, or is not, just lit the match.
Have your say: What do you think of the likes of people who share the past-time of "Offending Muslims all over the planet"? Should they be stopped? Deemed a security threat to the US perhaps?

Quotes and Sayings about feelings
Too often, feelings arrive too soon, waiting for thoughts that often come too late.
– Dejan Stojanovic
You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.
– Johnny Depp
It's not about what you didn't feel, it's about what you didn't show.
Never let your feelings get in the way of seeing things as they truly are.
Nobody knows what you feel inside.
People will never forget how you made them feel.
– Maya Angelou
Feelings are much like waves, we can't stop them from coming but we can choose which ones to surf.
Feelings are the structure of our life.
They destroy, kills and leaves a huge mess in our minds. Yet they also build, repair and clean up everything through the time we live.
I'm not quite sure what the true reason for them to exist is? In the life that I have lived so far, I have experienced more negative feelings than positives. Feelings have destroyed my mind many times, have killed many of positives things in my life and always left me on a landfill impossible to clean. So far I have almost lost the faith of ever experience the positives feelings and good things in life and even be familiar with the term of "being happy" !
Then one day, after I almost had lost my strength and nearly have given up on life. I finally found the true reason of the existence of our feelings. After a long and terrible day of work, I was on my way home and some homeless guy stopped me and asked; "why so sad young man?" I told him what was wrong and how I lost all my hope in life. Then he took his hand and put it around my shoulder and told me this:
"An apple tree will die if it doesn't gets water drops to cheer it up and to keep it alive. It is the same thing with our feelings. Good feelings and positives things in life must be shared and given in the companionship of other people. If you give the apple tree water, it will grow up and give you apples in gratitude which you also can eat."
Simply! Before you can experience the positive feelings and good things in life, you must first give and share.
Never play with the feelings of others, because you may win the game but the risk is that you will surely lose the person for a life time.
– William Shakespeare
Sometimes no matter how much you try to speak your heart out, words are not just enough to describe how you truly feel.
The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and what you feel.
The heart can see what is invisible to the eye.
The worst feeling ever is not knowing whether you should wait or give up.
It's a shame when the things that are on your mind and in your heart never reach your lips.
I'm a very simple person who hides thousands of feelings behind a smile.
To hide feelings when you are near crying is the secret of dignity.
– Dejan Stojanovic
There is a boundary to men's passions when they act from feelings; but none when they are under the influence of imagination.
– Edmund Burke
Never apologise for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologise for the truth.
– Edmund Burke
Who ever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings.
– Joseph Joubert
The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.
– Paulo Coelho

Dog Diabetes
Dog Diabetes (Canine Diabetes)
Signs and Symptoms
Canine diabetes usually manifests itself as type 1 diabetes, which involves a lack of insulin production resulting from damage to the beta cells of the pancreas. This leads to elevated levels of glucose in the blood since sufficient insulin is not available to transfer the substance from the blood stream into cells. This causes a variety of problems for a dog with this condition and will also trigger the display of a number of telling symptoms and warning signs.
When concerned that your dog may be suffering from diabetes, there are a number of signs to look for. Two of the most common symptoms of this disease are polyuria and polydipsia. Respectively, these terms refer to increased urination and increased consumption of water. Not only are these two warning signs very common, they also tend to be the ones first noticed by pet owners. Weight loss is also a typical symptom of diabetes, and many dogs will lose weight despite increased hunger and appetite. These changes in appetite occur because the body's cells are not receiving the required amounts of glucose and so, despite the high levels of glucose in the blood stream, the brain believes that more glucose is required. As a result, the brain continues to drive the hunger response. The weight loss that can occur despite increased eating results from the fact that an afflicted animal's body will break down stores of fat and protein in order to produce more glucose.
If canine diabetes is left untreated, other serious symptoms can also arise. The development of cataracts and sudden blindness are typical in dogs with untreated or improperly treated diabetes. If this condition is still allowed to progress, serious and extremely dangerous changes to a dog's blood chemistry will occur, leading to a life-threatening state known as ketoacidosis. When an animal reaches this stage, symptoms include vomiting, weakness, and lethargy. Eventually these warning signs will be followed by coma and death. Thus, it is clear that catching diabetes early on is absolutely imperative. Therefore, if you observe any of the above symptoms or warning signs being exhibited by your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian immediately.
When suspicious that diabetes could be afflicting a canine patient, a veterinarian will evaluate the clinical signs and symptoms displayed by the dog, conduct a physical exam, and perform laboratory tests. During the first two steps, the doctor will look for the various warning signs typically caused by diabetes and will also want to know about the behaviors and symptoms exhibited by your dog in the home environment. At this point, it's very important for pet owners to divulge any and all information that could possibly be relevant. This will help the veterinary doctor to determine what is happening with your pet's physiology.
Certain common symptoms of diabetes such as increased thirst and increased urination can also be caused by a variety of other diseases and medical conditions. For example, polydipsia and polyuria are also common amongst dogs suffering from canine Cushing's Disease and renal failure. Therefore, the presence of certain warning signs alone will not be enough to confirm a diagnosis of canine diabetes. This is why laboratory tests are important. Both urinary analysis and blood analysis are commonly employed in order to determine whether or not a dog has diabetes. These tests are used to determine the amount of glucose present in a dog's blood and urine. High amounts of glucose in either type of sample are indicative of diabetes. Furthermore, a veterinarian may check these samples for abnormally high levels of organic compounds known as ketones, which are produced by the liver when insulin levels are insufficient.
Through a combination of evaluating clinical signs and laboratory results, a veterinary doctor will be able to determine whether or not your dog is suffering from diabetes. Once a diagnosis of this condition has been confirmed, the practitioner can then work with you to determine the best course of action to take next.
Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of diabetes can be helpful when dealing with a pet that is suffering from this condition. Having a basic knowledge of this disease and its effects will help you to provide the best possible care for your canine companion. As mentioned earlier, type 1 diabetes is the most common form of this disease to affect dogs. This condition is an endocrine disorder that results from problems with the dog's pancreas, namely Dog Pancreatitis. The pancreas consists of beta cells which are located in areas known as the islets of Langerhans. These cells are responsible for producing a hormone called insulin.
Insulin plays a critical role in glucose (sugar) metabolism, regulating the concentration and distribution of this substance. When the beta cells of the pancreas become damaged or destroyed as a result of various causes, insulin is no longer produced in sufficient amounts. If this happens, a dog's body can no longer properly regulate glucose metabolism. As a result, this substance is no longer transferred to cells that require it for energy. Not only do these cells then begin to suffer, but the concentration of glucose in the blood stream also goes up. This produces a disruption of the healthy physiological balances normally maintained in a dog's body. Many of your pet's systems will go awry, causing uncomfortable and potentially deadly symptoms that will only grow progressively worse if left untreated.
As mentioned previously, diabetes involves the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas. There are numerous potential causes of this destruction and, therefore, numerous causes of diabetes. Some canines seem to be more predisposed to developing diabetes than others, but this may or may not have any correlation to different breeds. However, unspayed female canines may have increased risk of developing this disease due to certain reproductive hormones. Typically, onset of this condition will occur in a dog somewhere between the ages of seven and nine years.
In addition to reproductive hormones, many other factors can cause diabetes. Steroids and immune deficiencies can cause the damage and destruction of beta cells characteristic of this disease. Furthermore, any medical condition or infection that places stress upon the pancreas can also cause diabetes. Such conditions include pancreatic infections, Cushing's Disease, and infectious viruses. As a result, promptly and properly treating these pancreas-stressing conditions can go a long way toward protecting your dog from the onset of diabetes.
Proper treatment of diabetes is vitally important in order to prevent the condition's serious effects and also to prevent the untimely death of your beloved companion. When this disease is caught in its early stages and dealt with carefully, canine diabetes can often be treated quite successfully. There is no cure for this condition, however, but through the use of a variety of treatment options it can be very controllable.
Generally, there are three aspects involved in the treatment of canine diabetes — insulin injections, lifestyle changes, and dietary adjustments. For a dog suffering from this disease, daily insulin injections will likely be required. There are a number of different types of insulin available and a qualified veterinarian will be able to help you figure out which one is best suited for your individual pet. Furthermore, some dogs require two injections every day, while others do quite well with only one. Again, the needs of your specific dog will determine the number of injections required in your particular case. This aspect of treating diabetes very much needs to be tailored to each dog's specific requirements and circumstances. For pet owners, learning how to properly store and inject insulin is an important step that will help to ensure quality treatment for your canine companion.
Lifestyle and dietary changes also play an important role when it comes to treating canine diabetes. Occasionally, such adjustments are enough to control the disease and insulin injections are not required. The type of diet required for your dog will depend upon his or her individual circumstances. Sometimes high-fiber, moderate-carbohydrate diets are recommended for diabetic dogs. Other canines need to be fed a diet that restricts their fat intake. In addition, a veterinarian may encourage regular daily exercise, which will help to promote your pet's health and well-being.
When approved by a veterinary doctor, dietary and herbal supplements may also be a beneficial treatment option when used in conjunction with other treatments. Herbal multivitamins and healthy, natural ingredients can enhance a dog's diet and help to reduce the effects of diabetes. Moreover, proper diet and supplements will increase the overall health of your pet. As a result, when treating diabetes there are a variety of factors and options to consider. If your dog begins to display any symptoms of diabetes, be sure to contact a veterinarian immediately so that a prompt diagnosis can be made and treatment can begin as soon as possible. If this occurs, there is a good chance that your canine companion can enjoy several more years of quality life.

I have just read "End of Faith". I am glad an American wrote that. I just hope Sam is safe from those mad Christian Fundies. I have just finished and congratulate Sam for writing that and the "Letter to a Christian Nation".
I am a bedraggled refugee from the "Holy" Roman Catholic Church, now a Card Carrying Atheist. I manage my own MSN Group" Militant Atheist Materialists. I live in Australia and there is none of this Christian bigotry towards Atheists.
When I read about the Evangalical Christians and the power they wield in America, and the fact that about 50% of Americans believe the Universe in on older than 10,000 years, I question the mentality of Americans.
Sam askes the question: how can this be stopped. I would suggest that children be no longer given bible stories and taught about god and Jesus. They should be introduced to simple science and hepled to understand about the Universe. Then their minds would not be poluted with "bibleshit" and lies. That would be the beginning of the proper education of Americans.
