A recent study estimates that 30 million men suffer from various degrees of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) ranging from mild to severe.
It is clearly an age-related phenomenon since the prevalence of erectile dysfunction increases significantly with age.
Surprisingly, by the time men reach the age of 40, 5% of them are completely impotent, never achieving an erection rigid enough for penetration. Approximately 15% of men have significant problems achieving or maintaining an erection.
In 90% of cases involving men older than 35, the causes are physical in nature. In men younger than 35, the causes are usually psychological in nature. However, even in the cases of those patients for whom the psychological issues are the primary factor, medical intervention can often help solve the problem.

CAUSES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION There are four main causes for erectile dysfunction or male impotence.
Vascular: Blood must be able to move into the penis and stay there to maintain an erection. Arteries are the vehicles that bring blood into the penis. Any process that damages the arteries and increases the likelihood of vascular disease would make a man more likely to have erectile dysfunction. A history of arterial disease (e.g. coronary artery, heart disease, strokes, or peripheral vascular disease) indicates that the penile arteries are also at risk. In fact, erectile dysfunction may often appear before any of these more severe manifestations of vessel disease. Thus, smoking is one of the most common contributing causes to erectile dysfunction. Other causes include high blood pressure (especially if it is uncontrolled), heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
Neurological: A man must have an intact neurological system in order for an erection to occur. Thus, patients with multiple sclerosis or those who have had damage to their peripheral nerves from diabetes may also suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Hormonal: Significantly low testosterone and thyroid hormones or a very high prolactin may cause problems with erections.
Psychological: This can be an initial problem or a secondary problem. In some cases, men may not achieve an erection primarily because of psychological issues. However, many men have a significant psychological response (or secondary reaction) to what is initially a primary physical problem. Once a man loses confidence in his erections, his attitude and interest level may change and diminish. At that point, he may develop increasing difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection.
Vascular: Blood must be able to move into the penis and stay there to maintain an erection. Arteries are the vehicles that bring blood into the penis. Any process that damages the arteries and increases the likelihood of vascular disease would make a man more likely to have erectile dysfunction. A history of arterial disease (e.g. coronary artery, heart disease, strokes, or peripheral vascular disease) indicates that the penile arteries are also at risk.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION TREATMENT OPTIONS If a patient has a straightforward case of erectile dysfunction (for example, a 65- year-old diabetic who wants rapid treatment for sexual impotence), a general urologist is often a good starting point. The doctor should take a thorough history and perform a basic evaluation. This will include a focused physical exam, measurement of penile sensation, and a basic check of hormones. Available options should be explained thoroughly. Most often, the first course of action will be to provide an oral medication. The side effects of any medication should be explained and a prescription written. There should also be follow-up exams on a regular basis. If the oral medications do not work well or cause unpleasant side effects, there are a number of other effective erectile dysfunction therapy options available.
Oral Medications
Oral medications include Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis.
All three medications should be taken approximately 60 minutes prior to engaging in sexual activity. Viagra and Levitra are effective for approximately 4 hours. Cialis is effective for 36 hours. Viagra is less effective if it is taken within hours of having eaten fatty foods, so those types of food should be avoided when taking Viagra. Ideally, Viagra should be taken on an empty stomach.
Please be aware that none of these drugs will affect desire in any way. They will merely make a penis respond more quickly and remain firmer when it is stimulated and aroused.
The maximum dosage is 20 mg of Levitra or Cialis and 100 mg of Viagra. This should not be exceeded in any 24-hour period. Even if a lesser dosage is used, it should only be used once in a 24-hour period.
Although all three of these medications work slightly differently, the basic functioning is the same. They block an enzyme that normally prevents erections from occurring. When a man is sexually aroused, nitric oxide is released, which causes a cascade of biochemical reactions: the blood vessels and tissues of the penis relax and dilate, allowing blood to rush in and an erection to occur. These oral medications block the enzyme PDE5, which reverses this cascade.
Please note that all of these drugs are contraindicated for men who are:
- Currently using nitrates or have Retinitis Pigmentosis
Other men who may not take the available oral medications are those with a predisposition to potentially hazardous cardiovascular events. These conditions include:
- Unstable angina
- Congestive heart failure
- Taking multiple antihypertensive drugs
- MI, heart attack, CVA (stroke), or life threatening arrhythmia within the last six months.
- Hypotension, decreased blood pressure (BP <90/50) or hypertension, increased blood pressure (BP>170/110)
- Patients on alpha blocks for high blood pressure or prostrate problems should not take Levitra or Cialis
Any men who fall into the above categories should see an erectile dysfunction specialist as there are very effective alternatives available for treating impotence.
Other reasons you may want to consider seeing a specialist include:
- If there has been a sudden onset of erectile dysfunction
- You are under 50 years old
- You have Peyronie's Disease
Some men may choose to start the process with a specialist even if they do not fit these criteria since a specialist is able to take the time to evaluate, understand, and get to know a patient. Also, a patient may want to fully understand the physical aspects of his problem as well as the psychological issues and ramifications. Finally, the atmosphere in a specialist's office may be more personal and private.
Other Options
If a patient is unable to take one of the available oral medications or if the medications are not working as desired, there are effective alternatives available for treating impotence.
Oral medications work for 70% of men. For many of these men, it is truly a wonder drug, giving them excellent, predictable, and long-lasting erections. Oral medications have revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction. They have brought the issue into the open and have given many men hope.
However, for 30% of patients, the oral medications fail. For these men, the oral medication does not work well, does not work at all, or is contraindicated from a medical point of view. These men are often more unhappy than before they sought treatment since they are convinced that they are alone and that there is no help for them.
This group, in particular, should see an erectile dysfunction specialist, as there are other excellent options for the treatment of their erectile dysfunction. Physicians who specialize in impotence are the most comfortable and confident at presenting, teaching, and performing alternate treatments.
One of the options available for the treatment of erectile dysfunction is the self-injection of medication into the penis. This often sounds scary to the patient and not particularly appealing. However, in reality, the technique does not involve a traditional syringe and does not hurt. Often, once a patient understands the reality of his treatment, he is willing to consider this highly popular and effective treatment technique.
The medication is delivered to the penis using a device that is similar to the ones used by diabetics. A disposable syringe is placed on the injector, the device is placed against the side of the penis, and a button is pressed. A spring then pushes a very thin needle into the penis and, at the same time, pushes the medication into the penis.
Men normally agree that the "injection" does not hurt. Most patients describe it as either painless or as if they have been flicked with a rubber band. The injection is extremely quick and uses a very fine needle (usually a 29 or 30 gauge). Additionally, since the side of the penis does not include many pain receptors, there is little sensation.
The three most common medications used for injections are papaverine, phentolamine, and prostaglandin E1. All three act by relaxing the smooth muscles and causing the arteries to dilate. This activates the trapping mechanism. Prostaglandin E1 received FDA approval in 1996 for erectile dysfunction treatment. It is currently marketed and available in prescription plans under two brand names, Caverject Impulse and Edex.
The different medications have different characteristics. The papaverine and phentolamine come in a liquid, do not need to be refrigerated, and have the least discomfort associated with them. Prostglandin E1 is a powder that is mixed with a fluid prior to use (this is due to the fact that it is stable as a powder at room temperature, but not as a liquid). Prostaglandin E1 can cause some ache. Although it is not medically concerning, it can be uncomfortable.
However, in most cases, the discomfort is short-lived. Discomfort is experienced by approximately 20% of patients and is most common in patients who have neurological erectile dysfunction such as diabetes or post-radical prostatectomy.
The two main potential complications from the injections are the development of scar tissue and the possibility of a prolonged erection. This risk is significantly minimized when you are seeing a physician who is very experienced with this treatment option and the appropriate dosing levels. Also, the risk of scarring is greatly reduced if the penis is compressed for five minutes after the injection and the site of the injection is varied.
Penile injections were developed approximately 30 years ago and were the second method developed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The first treatment method was surgical and involved the insertion of a penile implant.
Experience suggests that many men are successfully treated with injectable medication. Their erections are often much stronger and more reliable than those from the oral medications. In some ways, the injection is a more spontaneous solution for treating impotence since it can be used right before a sexual encounter. With foreplay and the medication, the individual gets a good, strong erection. Additionally, and importantly, some studies suggest that men who use the injections on a regular basis have a high likelihood of seeing improvements in their spontaneous erections.
EVALUATING AND DIAGNOSING ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION A first appointment should last between 45 and 60 minutes. It should include:
- History: The physician will take a thorough medical history in order to place your erectile dysfunction within a medical context. He will also take a full sexual history. This may include questions such as:
- How long have you had the erectile dysfunction?
- What happens when you try to have intercourse?
- Do you have decreased rigidity?
- Do you have difficulty maintaining your erection?
- At what point do you lose your erection?
- Do you wake up at any point with an erection?
- How rigid are the nocturnal erections?
- What is your sexual interest level (libido) like?
- Does your penis have a curve, bend, or twist in it when it is rigid?
- Is your ejaculation normal?
- Is it early (premature) or delayed?
- What is the status of your relationship?
- How is the relationship going?
- How is your erectile dysfunction affecting the relationship?
- Information: Your physician will explain to you how erections work (in terms that you will understand). He will explain why yours may not be working.
- Physical Examination: Your physician will perform a focused physical examination on your penis and testes. In general, you should have a regular (general) physical examination either before or after your appointment.
- Evaluation: Your physician will usually measure the threshold for perceiving vibration of your penis (biothesiometry). Depending on your situation, he may perform specialized testing to assess the function of your penis. This may include:
- An ultrasound to measure the blood flow through the penis.
- A Rigi-scan to measure the quantity and quality of your nighttime erections.
- A blood test to measure your hormone levels.
Once your physician has completed your evaluation, he will review impotence treatment options with you. He will consider these options in light of the history, physical, and specialized testing that has been performed.
FINDING A DOCTOR for Erectile Dysfunction All urologists are not impotence specialists. Urologists are physicians whose training has included specialization in the surgical and medical treatment of the "genitourinary system." This includes kidneys, bladder, ureter (the tubes that connect the bladder and the kidneys), prostate, penis, and testes.
The conditions that urologists treat include cancer (kidney, bladder, prostate, testicular, and penile), stones (kidney, ureter and bladder), urination problems (incontinence, benign prostatic hypertrophy, and stricture), trauma, and infection. One of the many conditions is impotence. It is usually one of the last topics listed in a urology textbook and is given little emphasis in urology residency programs.
Because of the broad spectrum of areas covered under urology, many urologists specialize in a particular area of expertise. A general urologist must keep abreast of major advances in a multitude of fields, and it isn't realistic for him/her to truly specialize in more than one or two areas.
Each year, a small number of urology residents elect to further specialize in the area of erectile dysfunction. These physicians undergo an additional 1 to 2 years of training under the most prominent physicians in the field. They are in the best position to perform a thorough evaluation of an impotence patient. They can also structure their scheduling to accommodate the needs of their patients with erectile issues.
HERBAL ALTERNATIVE for treating ED For many years, Yohimbe, which is found in Rubaceae and related trees, was considered an impotence remedy. The efficacy of Yohimbe has been debated for a number of years. Many studies have concluded that it is no better than a placebo. Others have concluded that it does improve erections, though modestly. It is still occasionally used for men with very modest erectile dysfunction, especially when a lack of desire and psychological factors are major issues.
A multitude of multivitamins or herbal supplements are marketed for erectile dysfunction. At the moment, there are no reliable studies that prove the efficacy of any of these medications. The supplement combinations are not regulated by the FDA, and some may be not only ineffective, but also harmful. Some include hormones, which remain controversial when used by patients with normal hormone levels.
Herbal supplements must be viewed with a fair amount of caution and skepticism until there is evidence that they are safe and effective.

Why are modern spectacles impossible to clean properly with anything other than a special cleaning cloth? Whenever I try to get rid of even a small surface mark using a handkerchief, I end up with seemingly permanent multicoloured smears that can't be removed.
• The lenses of some modern spectacles, like those of many cameras, have a special anti-glare coating that reduces reflections at the lens surface. This works by creating a second reflection at the coating surface that interferes with, and cancels out, the original reflection. To create the desired interference, the coating thickness must be just right.
Unfortunately, any attempt to rub a greasy spot off a lens turns it into an additional coating of varying thickness, which produces the multicoloured reflections seen. Even worse, handkerchiefs are often laundered with a "softener" that leaves grease in the fabric, and makes things worse. The lens cloths made for cleaning ...

According to O'Brien's camp, the latest drama between O'Brien and NBC revolved around stalled negotiations over O'Brien's exit package -- estimated to be between $30 and $40 million -- and how much his staff of some 200 people will be compensated after the show ends. Many "Tonight Show" employees lived in New York and worked for O'Brien's former show before moving to California to work on "The Tonight Show."
"The main issue at this stage is how well they're planning on taking care of the people who are out of work, and that's Conan's main concern and that's the focus of all negotiations at this point," Gavin Polone, O'Brien's manager, told ABCNews.com on Tuesday.
But NBC has criticized Polone's portrayal of the negotiations, calling it a "PR ploy" and arguing that O'Brien's decisions, not NBC's, will leave his staff jobless.
"It was Conan's decision to leave NBC that resulted in nearly 200 of his staffers being out of work," the network said Tuesday in a written statement. "We have already agreed to pay millions of dollars to compensate every one of them. This latest posturing is nothing more than a PR ploy."
Leno explained his side of the story on his show Monday night.
The former (and apparently future) "Tonight Show" host said he'd tried to avoid doing a show in prime time but was convinced by NBC that it could work and that he would be able to keep his staff of 175.
Four months later, he said, network executives informed him they were canceling his show but told him they wouldn't let him out of his contract because he was still "a valuable asset" to the company.
He said he agreed to host his show at 11:35 p.m. after NBC "almost guaranteed" to him that O'Brien would accept a "Tonight Show" shift to 12:05 a.m.

UM's Shalala goes on offensive against NCAA
FEB 20, 2013 12:03a ET
The University of Miami president fought back Tuesday night, hours after the NCAA delivered its notice of allegations to the school and accused the athletic department of "lack of institutional control."
Shalala's statement began by saying the school, "deeply regrets and takes full responsibility for those NCAA violations that are based on fact and are corroborated by multiple individuals and/or documentation."
It's her second paragraph that begins to attack the NCAA investigation.
"Yet despite our efforts to aid the investigation, the NCAA acknowledged on February 18, 2013 that it violated its own policies and procedures in an attempt to validate the allegations made by a convicted felon," the statement read. "Many of the allegations included in the Notice of Allegations remain unsubstantiated."
The "convicted felon," as most UM fans know, is former booster Nevin Shapiro, who's serving time for running a Ponzi scheme.
NCAA president Mark Emmert last month acknowledged his institution's investigators were wrong to pay an attorney to obtain information via her subpoena power in a bankruptcy case involving Shapiro. Records show the NCAA paid Shapiro's attorney, Maria Elena Perez, $19,000 for her work.
The result was 20 percent of the case against Miami being thrown out, and several NCAA employees reportedly no longer working at the organization. Those staffers include former vice president of enforcement Julie Roe Lach and former enforcement director Ameen Najjar.
Emmert's revelation gave Shalala ammunition to fire away, and she did not hold back in her statement.
Shalala says via the UM press release:
-- Many of the charges brought forth are based on the word of a man who made a fortune by lying. The NCAA enforcement staff acknowledged to the University that if Nevin Shapiro, a convicted con man, said something more than once, it considered the allegation "corroborated" - an argument which is both ludicrous and counter to legal practice.
-- Most of the sensationalized media accounts of Shapiro's claims are found nowhere in the Notice of Allegations. Despite their efforts over two and a half years, the NCAA enforcement staff could not find evidence of prostitution, expensive cars for players, expensive dinners paid for by boosters, player bounty payments, rampant alcohol and drug use, or the alleged hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts given to student-athletes, as reported in the media. The fabricated story played well - the facts did not.
-- The NCAA enforcement staff failed, even after repeated requests, to interview many essential witnesses of great integrity who could have provided first-hand testimony, including, unbelievably, Paul Dee, who has since passed away, but who served as Miami Athletic Director during many of the years that violations were alleged to have occurred. How could a supposedly thorough and fair investigation not even include the Director of Athletics?
-- Finally, we believe the NCAA was responsible for damaging leaks of unsubstantiated allegations over the course of the investigation. Let me be clear again: for any rule violation - substantiated and proven with facts - that the University, its employees, or student-athletes committed, we have been and should be held accountable. We have worked hard to improve our compliance oversight, and we have already self-imposed harsh sanctions. We deeply regret any violations, but we have suffered enough.
The university has already self-imposed penalties that have prevented the Hurricanes football team from going to bowl games the past two seasons and forfeited its chance to play in the 2012 Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. There also have been player suspensions.
Shalala said the university would prepare and submit an official response to the notice of allegations within 90 days and then ended the statement with one last dig against the NCAA.
"We trust that the Committee on Infractions will provide the fairness and integrity missing during the investigative process," she concluded.

LoCall: 1890 289 389
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
These Regulations were signed by the Minister on 15 February 2006 and came into operation from that date.
The Regulations transpose Council Directive 96/82/EC on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances as amended by Directive 2003/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The Regulations revoke and replace –
(i) the European Communities (Control of Major Accident Hazards Involving Dangerous Substances) Regulations 2000 (S.I. No. 476 of 2000), and
(ii) the European Communities (Control of Major Accident Hazards Involving Dangerous Substances)(Amendment) Regulations 2003 (S.I. No. 402 of 2003).
The Regulations apply to establishments where dangerous substances are present in amounts equal to or exceeding the application thresholds.
Operators of establishments are required to take all necessary measures to prevent the occurrence of major accidents and to limit the consequences of accidents for people and the environment.
The Regulations impose duties in respect of safety management systems, preparation of safety reports and emergency preparedness.
The Regulations also deal with provision of advice on major hazards in the context of land-use planning decisions.
The Regulations set out the arrangements for the appointment of competent authorities, enforcement and the provision of information.
The Regulations provide for the levying of charges by competent authorities for duties performed pursuant to these Regulations.
The principal changes incorporated in the new Regulations include the following -
Schedule 1 (which replicates the amended Annex 1 of Directive 96/82/EC) determines the application of the Regulations. The definition of dangerous substance has been changed to follow more exactly the definition in Directive 96/82/EC.
The definition of establishment has been extended to cover the situation where two or more areas under the control of the same person and separated only by a road, railway or inland waterway shall be treated as one whole area; this approach will give a more realistic presentation of the major accident profile of an area.
The application of the Regulations has been extended as per Directive 2003/105/EC to cover –
- chemical and thermal processing operations and storage related to operations associated with the exploitation of minerals,
- operational tailings disposal facilities, including tailing ponds or dams, containing dangerous substances as defined in Schedule 1, in particular when used in connection with the chemical and thermal processing of minerals.
The non-application of the Regulations to offshore exploration has been made more explicit.
The timeframe (3 months) for the preparation of the major accident prevention policy document (MAPP) by new establishments has been incorporated as per the Directive.
Operators of existing establishments must, where necessary, amend their MAPP document within 3 months of the commencement of the Regulations.
The scope of the safety management system to be addressed under the MAPP has been extended as per the Directive to include the role of subcontracted personnel and their training, including preparation for emergencies.
Operators of new establishments must send Notifications to the Central Competent Authority (Health and Safety Authority) within 3 months of the commencement of the Regulations, as per the Directive.
Operators of existing establishments must, where necessary, amend their Notifications within one month of the commencement of the Regulations.
The content of Safety Reports with regard to the assessment of the extent and severity of the consequences of identified major accidents has been further detailed as per the Directive to include maps, images or, as appropriate, equivalent descriptions, showing areas which are liable to be affected by such accidents.
Safety Reports will contain the names of the relevant organisations involved in the drawing up of the report, as required by the Directive.
Operators of establishments which subsequently fall within the scope of the Directive will have one year to submit a Safety Report (as per the Directive) and, where necessary, operators of existing establishments will have 6 months, or longer as may be agreed with the HSA, to amend their reports,
Operators of establishments which subsequently fall within the scope of the Directive will have 6 months to prepare an internal emergency plan.
Operators of existing establishments shall, where necessary, amend their internal emergency plans within one month of the new regulations coming into force.
The Central Competent Authority may consult as appropriate with the Environmental Protection Agency on the information contained in a safety report that is relevant to the possible risks of environmental pollution from a major accident.
Under the Regulations, the Central Competent Authority does not have to rely solely on information from notifications/Safety Reports to determine the presence of a group of establishments where there is likely to be a "domino effect"
The scale of charges applicable under Regulation 46 is that specified from time to time by the relevant Minister.

The Israeli contender for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Academy Awards, Footnote is a weighty dark comedy played out between two competing academics who bring out the worst in each other as they strive for recognition in their narrowest of narrow disciplines – the comparative linguistics of ancient Jewish texts. But don't run away yet – the two also happen to be father and son, making this a fraught family affair built around two wonderfully intractable characters competing for the same academic prize.
A professor at the Talmudic Research department of the University of Jerusalem, elderly Eliezer Shkolik (Shlomo Bar-Aba) has spent his lifetime in diligent research. A fanatical purist who scorns modern approaches to research as shallow and self-serving, he has managed to annoy everyone for thirty years and has consequently been overlooked his entire career. His only formal recognition is a small footnote in another work, the publication of which made his entire research redundant. His son Uriel (Lior Ashkenazi) – also a professor in the same department – has a different approach, publishing popular books rapidly and actively seeking attention. Both are contenders for the most distinguished award available to the nation's academics – the coveted Israel Prize – the bitter Elizier believing he has been passed over many times, whilst the confident Uriel naturally assuming it will be coming his way.
Writer/director Joseph Cedar sets up his story slowly, allowing detailed insights into the scholarly father and son who then are pushed to their ethical limits by the twists and turns of the deliciously erudite plot. Exploring notions of truth and – more cleverly – the identification and consequences of textual errors, this is an involved piece of filmmaking, made manageable through the warm and totally compelling performances of the two lead actors. The rich music and on-screen text add to the density of the piece, which comes to a spectacular climax in a scene set in a way-too tiny room where the committee for the Israel Prize have gathered to finalise their decision.
Cedar – who studied philosophy at the University of Jerusalem himself – clearly imparts personal passion into his screenplay, although it's unwieldy in places and frequently wordy. But he has also created two complex and charismatic characters who cannot get away from each other by virtue of blood and whose conflicting ways of being in the world are the reason for the film's success on the international circuit.

The name refers to the design of the display, regardless of the timekeeping technology used within the watch.
A digital watch is one in which the time is displayed as a series of digits, e.g. "3:27". An analog watch is one in which the display is not digital, but is indicated (typically) by the continuous motion of two or three rotating pointers or hands pointing to numbers arrayed on a circular dial (the hour hand's movement being analogous to the path of the sun across the sky).

THE precursor of life may have learned how to copy itself thanks to simple convection at the bottom of the ocean. Lab experiments reveal how DNA replication could have occurred in tiny pores around undersea vents.
One of the initial steps towards life was the first molecule capable of copying itself. In the open ocean of early Earth, strands of DNA and loose nucleotides would have been too diluted for replication to occur. So how did they do it?
Inside many undersea hydrothermal vents, magnesium-rich rocks react with sea water. Such reactions create a heat source that could drive miniature convection currents in nearby pores in the rock, claim Christof Mast and Dieter Braun of Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany. They propose that such convection could concentrate nucleotides, strands of DNA, and polymerase, providing a setting that would promote replication.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul wants to end all foreign assistance, including aid to Israel.
Paul, a Republican newly elected in Kentucky, was on CNN Wednesday outlining where he would cut the $500 billion in government spending he says is critical to sustaining the U.S. economy. His focus was on the departments of energy, education and housing.
Interviewer Wolf Blitzer then asked about foreign assistance, asking if he wanted to end "all foreign aid." Paul said yes, and Blitzer asked him about aid to Israel.
"Well, I think what you have to do is you have to look," Paul said. "When you send foreign aid, you actually [send] quite a bit to Israel's enemies. Islamic nations around Israel get quite a bit of foreign aid, too.
"You have to ask yourself, are we funding an arms race on both sides? I have a lot of sympathy and respect for Israel as a democratic nation, as a, you know, a fountain of peace and a fountain of democracy within the Middle East."
Blitzer pressed, "End all foreign aid including the foreign aid to Israel as well. Is that right?" he asked.
Paul answered, "Yes."
Paul is a favorite of the Tea Party insurgency that propelled the Republican takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives in the most recent election.
His father is Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), considered among the least Israel-friendly members of Congress.
During the campaign, Paul distanced himself from some of his father's views, particularly on whether Iran poses a threat to U.S. interests, but nonetheless elicited concerns from pro-Israel groups because of his insistence on slashing foreign aid.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) was assigned by European Commission Directorate-General EuropeAid Co-operation Office (EC/DG EuropeAid) to carry out a project for gradually extending the Shared Environment Information System (SEIS) principles to the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) South and East neighbours and the Russian Federation. The ENPI-SEIS project aims to improve environmental monitoring and data and information sharing by gradually extending the SEIS principles to the European neighbourhood.
The main outcomes of the ENPI-SEIS project will address the three SEIS components — cooperation, content and infrastructure — through enhanced networking with the national capacities on environmental information. Furthermore, it will promote open, public access to information through compatible and freely available exchange tools.
The overall goal of the project is to promote the protection of the environment in the countries of the ENPI area. In order to achieve this, the project aims towards a set of measurable and specific objectives:

Rodong Sinmun Calls for Strengthening Unity of Koreans
| Pyongyang, April 7 (KCNA) -- It is an urgent issue at present to strengthen the unity of the entire nation in every way under the banner of the great national unity, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in an article.
It goes on:
The U.S. and forces following it have become undisguised in the moves to hamstring the Korean nation's efforts for reconciliation and unity and escalate the tension on the Korean peninsula.
If the U.S. and the south Korean authorities' moves to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK are allowed, this will lead to a war against the north and the Korean nation will suffer from immeasurable disasters.
The Korean nation should carry on the struggle with the strength of unity as the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces make ever-more desperate efforts against the country's reunification.
Now is the time for all the Koreans at home and abroad to closely unite irrespective of ideology, ism and political view, thoroughly smash the moves of anti-reunification forces at home and abroad and carry on the dynamic nation-wide struggle to achieve independent reunification, peace and prosperity.
No one in the world can match the inexhaustible strength of the united Korean nation.
The cause of the country's reunification has met a serious challenge, but no one can break or dampen the Koreans' will and aspiration to usher in a new era of independent reunification, peace and prosperity with the united efforts of the entire nation.

Dear Diary,FutaFemDom.com is now a membership site with all new videos of dick girls doing dudes!! Everyone needs to go and check it out!!!
Dear Diary, Pamela tells you how she likes to jerk herself off in the new video: Colossal Cock Meat Self Cum. Pamela tells you that she just wants to please you and wants to be your dirty little slut. She strokes her massive wiener while you watch her. She tells you to get on your knees and lick her cock tip. She gets on her back and pitches her dick as you ride on it. She counts down and tells you to cum her mouth when she gets to zero. After you cum, she takes her turn and cums all over her face and body.
Dear Diary , Brenda and Pixie try and turn Elisa to the dark side in the new photo set: Super Heroine Shlong Showdown. Elisa has as super sized cock and some super powers which she uses to take down evil doers.
Dear Diary, Rachel shows off her cooking abilities to Lana, Sabrina, and Porsha in the new video: Cum Food Tasting Party. Rachel starts off the first course of salad but she recruits Lana to dress the crispy greens with her hot load. All the girls get involved and they milk her dicks until she explodes all over the salad. For the second course, Rachel has Sabrina jizz into a sauce pan to make a creamy cum chowder. Finally, Porsha finishes with dessert by glazing her delicious cum all over some pastries. They feed each other their cum soaked food.
Dear Diary, I am so happy to introduce everyone to my new dick girl addition, Sarina Scrotumax! Sarina is an ebony beauty with a giant cock to match her giant personality. She stars in the new photo set: Girl Growing Giant Gonads.
Dear Diary, Jessica fulfills her dream of a bigger cock in the new video: Chick Getting a Huge Choad. She goes in for dick enlargement surgery and comes back with a giant new dick. She is super excited about her new dick job and it also makes her so much hornier. She strokes her new cock and realizes that she should have gotten a bigger dick. She goes back again and gets an even bigger dick job. She's finally satisfied with her new size and she tests it out by jerking herself off until she erupts in a massive amount of cum.
Dear Diary, Pamela makes a mess of herself in the new photoset: Colossal Cock Meat Self Cum. Pamela loves to talk dirty to you. It really turns her on. So much that she gets so worked up she self pleasures until she cums all over her own face and body.

Obama to appear in Spider-Man
By Tony Hicks
Thursday, January 8th, 2009 at 5:02 pm in Uncategorized.
Even comic books can't stay away from Barack Obama.
Since our soon-to-be-president was such a fan of Spider-Man as a kid, Marvel Comics will feature him in a bonus story this month.
Apparently Peter Parker will be taking photos at the inauguration. When he notices there are two identical Obamas, he springs into action as his alter ego and administers, we can only assume, a beating pf presidential proportions on one of them.
I'm betting it's not the real one.
Obama then thanks Spidey with, of course, a fist-bump.
Other presidents have appeared in Marvel Comics, but mostly in walk-on roles, including Richard Nixon.

Faculty receive grant for advanced computing research
Dr. A. Steven Younger, applied science and engineering research professor at Missouri State University, and Dr. Emmett Redd, physics, astronomy and materials science professor, received a grant of $139,134 from the National Science Foundation for their project "Super-Turing Computation and Brain-like Intelligence."
"If successful, this project could result in a new type of computer which would be capable of performing computations that are beyond the limitations of a conventional Turing-Machine-based computer," said Younger. "We are particularly interested in machines that have properties that are important for more brain-like, intelligent capabilities: learning, adaptability, pattern-recognition robustness and flexibility."
In the 1990s, a theoretical model was developed illustrating the possibility of a computer capable of unprecedented dynamic, flexible and interactive behaviors. Younger and Redd's research consolidates experimental and theoretical research in the field of Super-Turing computation in the hopes of developing a machine that can perform well beyond the capabilities of present-day computers.
Younger and Redd believe that, despite the capabilities of modern computers, their research could contribute to the development of an advanced machine with a knack for common sense and the ability to learn well beyond the parameters of its programming.
Research for this project will be completed in conjunction with Dr. Hava Siegelmann, professor of computer science at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst.
For more information, contact Younger at (417) 836-3780.

Monday, Third Week of Advent
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
--James 1:17
Midnight mass is one of my favorite ways to celebrate Christmas. There's something different about celebrating the glories of God when the rest of the world sleeps quietly. I don't remember much about my first midnight mass, only that I can still see myself walking to and from my church and staring at the stars on that clear night and wondering which star led the way to the manger. I have since learned that that star doesn't shine in the sky in today's time, but my childish imagination saw the possibilities. I remember imagining myself following that star, putting myself in the shoes of the wise men, the shepherds and even Mary. All the while, still staring at the stars and feeling the silence of midnight all around me. It is through my childhood imaginings that I came to appreciate how Christ was born into the world silently, without the fanfare some people make his birth out to be. Only few knew who He was at the time of his birth and so He slipped into the world unbeknownst to many.
Every Christmas, I still catch myself gazing at the sky, searching for that star, even when it is cloudy. And I've realized I'm not desperate to actually find any star, but the act of looking gives me a moment of such profound silence to appreciate. I believe that God speaks loudest in silence, just like a light burns brightest in the dark. Jesus Christ was born when the world was dark and we needed Him. He was God's answer to our problems and He came to us quietly.
Christmas comes each year during a time when folks need their spirits lifted the most, and in the past few days especially, we've all been searching for answers. God has a personal message for each and every one of us at Christmastime and I hope we all can open our ears to it, because it most often comes in those moments of silence we sometimes don't notice. I hope that in our busy lives we can take a few minutes between road trips and parties to gaze at the stars, watch the falling snow, stare at a burning candle, find a moment of peaceful silence and listen to the guidance God has to give.
-- Bridget Lewis '16

FARMERS could effectively eradicate salmonella in poultry by adding certain sugars to their drinking water. John DeLoach, of the US Department of Agriculture in College Station, Texas, dramatically reduced the number of Salmonella typhimurium bacteria in infected chickens by adding lactose, a sugar found in milk and D-mannose, a natural sugar produced by a Mediterranean plant, to their water.
DeLoach found that at 10 days old only 53 per cent of the birds which drank water containing lactose and only 26 per cent of the birds which drank water containing D-mannose had any salmonella bacteria. Initially all the birds were infected with salmonella.
More importantly, DeLoach found that the birds treated with mannose and lactose had 99.9 per cent fewer salmonella bacteria than a control group of birds which drank ordinary water.
If this treatment proves effective it could be a very cheap way of controlling salmonella. According to DeLoach, ...

Applied Science A/AS Level OCR
The Applied Science course is tailored towards students whose best work is produced in coursework, rather than the more traditional academic route. Both the AS and A2 are both split equally into three modules: two of these are coursework portfolios, and the third is externally examined. The focus of this A Level is on the applications of biology, chemistry and physics to industry and society. The course follows the OCR Applied Science syllabus.
Entry requirements.
Students need to have a C grade, or equivalent, in GCSE Science, English and Maths in order to be in a position to access the course, study for the exams, and complete the coursework requirements.
Year 12 (AS Level)
1. Analysis at Work: this coursework portfolio involves the study of the uses of various chemical analysis (paper and thin layer chromatography, colorimetry, titration), and investigates the physics of energy sources, electricity generation and efficiency.
2. Monitoring the Activity of the Human Body: this unit investigates the different ways that the body regulates itself, and how we can measure various factors to do with this, such as blood pressure. This is examined in January.
3. Science at Work: this coursework portfolio involves the study of how science affects different organisations, from testing and sampling through to health and safety laws and risk assessments. The module also has a compulsory trip to a workplace to investigate how these affect one organisation in detail, and has been at King George hospital, and more recently to London Zoo!
Year 13 (A2)
1. Biotechnology: this coursework portfolio consists of researching current applications of genetic technology, and how enzymes are used on an industrial scale, including building and investigating a bioreactor.
2. Working Waves: this unit investigates the use of electromagnetic waves in fibre optics, thermal imaging, mobile and internet communication, and medical imaging. This module is examined in January.
3. Investigating the Scientists Work: this coursework module consists of a long and detailed investigation and report.

African American Youth Initiative Encourages Future Doctors
SLU Medical Students, Faculty Help High Schoolers Navigate the Path to Medical School
Earlier this month, SLU medical students and physicians volunteered at the Mini-National African American Youth Initiative (NAAYI) medical scholars program for high school students who are considering a career in medicine, an event hosted on SLU's campus. The two day program for tenth and eleventh graders is designed to increase the pool of African-American health care professionals.
|Michael Railey, M.D.
The weekend included field trips to Saint Louis University and Washington University's medical schools and talks from health care professionals. The program was sponsored by the Auxiliary to the Mound City Medical Forum (AMCMF) and the Auxiliary to the National Medical Association (ANMA) and coordinated by East Central Missouri Area Health Education Center (ECMO AHEC).
SLU first year medical student, Tiffany Adams volunteered for the program because she valued the support she herself received as she prepared for medical school.
"I decided to volunteer with NAAYI because I think that it is very important for high school students who have an interest in the field of science and medicine to receive early exposure to the discipline," Adams said. "When I was growing up on the south side of Chicago, there were not many opportunities like the NAAYI medical scholars program."
"Personally, I believe that it is important to pay forward all of the support and dedication that I have received from family, friends and mentors throughout the years in my journey to become a physician. I want to extend a helping hand for those generations behind me."
Michael Railey, M.D., associate dean of multicultural affairs and associate professor of family and community medicine at SLU, saw the weekend as a good opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to interact with and be mentored by SLU faculty and medical students, as well as with doctors, pharmacists and physical and occupational therapists from the St. Louis community.
"I hope that high school students who participated in the medical scholars program left with a motivation to stick with health care," Railey said. "And, I hope we dispelled myths like 'it's too hard,' 'there's too much blood' or 'it will take too long.'"
"Some students worry about the length of time it takes to earn an M.D. But, I try to help them understand that they'll still be in their 20s when they finish."
Having a mentor can make all the difference, Railey believes.
"One of the biggest obstacles for some students is the lack of mentoring and encouragement," Railey said. "Many high schoolers do not know people in a health care field to encourage them. This program is a chance to come together with encouragement and knowledge from people sharing the truth with them.
"It's great to welcome these future doctors here on campus."
In addition to helping high school students navigate the path to medical school, Adams found that the experience was a good reminder about why she chose medicine in the first place.
"From the volunteer experience, I was able to see how passionate some of the students were about medicine at such a young age," Adams said. "Although I was there to be a volunteer for the students and to answer any questions that they had, the NAAYI medical scholars program weekend was also a motivational experience for me.
"To see all of the successful physicians living out their life dreams of serving the community helped to reinforce my reasons for wanting to become a physician and helped me to keep my eyes on the dream."
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, liver disease, heart/lung disease, aging and brain disease, and infectious disease.

How do you write a good story? This
website is my attempt to answer that question and provide hints and resources to those who wish to try. I'll start with my usual disclaimer: everything here is my personal opinion and I am only one of many out there writing about writing. So, take from
here anything you think will help you. And if it does, great, if not, at least you'll know what not to do. Let me start by debunking the cruellest myth of all about writing:
Anyone can write.
Technically, any idiot who can write their own name with a crayon can write, but that
doesn't mean they can write a story. There is a second myth that is only slightly less cruel:
Anyone can learn to write.
True, anyone who has learned to write a sentence can learn the rules of grammar, punctuation and the structure of stories. They may have learnt about plot and character and how to write a story
in three acts but do they want to? The question isn't can they write a story, good or bad, the question is are they driven to put words on paper, to create mythic worlds and interesting characters? Do they have a passion for writing? Well, I want to
start my own myth about writing:
If they have the desire, anyone can learn how to write.
It is my passion to write that drives me. My passion fuels my unquenchable urge and desire to build imaginary worlds and people out of words. It is my passion that compels me to learn as much as I can about writing and then to
share it by writing about it. I am driven. And I know how much it means to me to be able to write, because I lost the ability for ten months and it almost drove me crazy.
However, despite
the internal pain and suffering I experienced not being able to write I think the hiatus has had beneficial outcomes. I appreciate what I have now instead of taking it for granted. I think about writing on a deeper, more measured level. And, hopefully, I will
be a better writer second time around.

As a confirmed lover of fall and winter weather, I find myself in a distinct minority here at Whitworth. Those first few cool nights, usually at the end of August, give me a feeling of completion and rebirth that my friends report only in mid-spring (sometimes as late as May), when Spokane finally gets the message that winter is over for another year.
My sense of completion comes from having made it through another summer. I'm always glad to see those temps in the 80s and 90s disappear for another year. The sense of rebirth comes from knowing that we've begun yet another academic cycle at Whitworth (I'm in the midst of my 29th such cycle right now). When I get to campus at the end of August and hear the frosh practicing for the yell-off, I realize that the exhilaration, trepidation, anticipation and exhaustion of the school year have begun yet again.
So here I am in my favorite season, in one of my favorite places. And here you are, reading the fall edition of Whitworth Today. I think you'll enjoy the wide range of our features in this issue: Julie Riddle, '92, has pulled together another interesting piece about some of Whitworth's most successful businessfolk and the value of their Whitworth liberal arts education experience. Emily Proffitt, '05, straw-bossed the photo feature on our newest building, the William P. and Bonnie V. Robinson Science Hall, and if you haven't yet seen the building in person, you'll be amazed at this addition to Whitworth's already beautiful campus. And I, '93 (I had to do it), have written a feature about Holy Chea, '07, an amazing young man from Tacoma who came to Spokane and changed Whitworth for the better while allowing himself to be changed, as well.
The news is good, the alumni notes are voluminous, the photos are crisp, it's autumn, the family is well, the magazine is done, and I work at a really great place. I'm blessed, and I hope and trust that you are, too. Thanks so much for reading Whitworth Today and for caring about and for Whitworth.
And don't forget to bundle up.

...And dealers wonder why they're so hated!

As it happens, we've purchased a '12, '13 &'14 at my local HD dealership. When I got the '14, I expected to get butt raped on the price, since the bike was high demand & shiny new. I bought all three from the same sales guy and in fact decided to buy the '14 Ultra Limited from him too, even though his dealership price was a bit higher than the alternative.
He was appreciative.
Because Harley had some 1.9% financing, I decided to use their money for about $8K rather than my own.
So, I'm signing paperwork in the finance dept and I notice the interest rate is 9.9% rather than the 1.9% we discussed. Ummm. Why? Dude answers that he's seen rates come back as high as 21% and anyway, look at the monthly payment, it's cheap. He wasn't going to do anything until I got up.
OK, I'm a nice guy, the sales manager has already made my experience less than perfect on this transaction & I figure they should be treating me nicely and all, given all the bikes I've bought from them and the fact I'm paying a couple hundred more than I need to for this bike already.
He makes a big play of phoning Harley to see if he can get me the lower rate, which of course he can in an instant, because my credit is perfect and I have no debt other than a small mortgage.
I'm sure I'll buy another Harley at some point, but not from there. The sales guy apologized, but it's not his fault. I should have walked out.
Bike is nice, so I'm ok. The service dept is great. Just never expected the finance manager to be so sleazy.
I sold BMW cars for a while. While we would try to get a good price for our cars and would steer customers to BMW financing, we would never be dishonest and sleazy with a customer.
I see the finance manager is a service writer now, so maybe they figured it out.
Jeez, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a rant.
Living the fullest life means leaving a history of goodness behind you for others to remember.

"What's exciting to me," says Michael Proulx, a cognitive psychologist at Queen Mary, University of London, who has been using the vOICe for his own research, "is that not only can you use this device in a very deliberate fashion where you can think, 'okay, this sound corresponds with this object', but it is also possible, through extensive use, to go beyond that and actually have some sort of direct, qualitative experience that is similar to the vision they used to experience."
The US National Science Foundation is now funding the first controlled study to look at the benefits of the vOICe system while trying to find the optimal training protocol. "Some of the participants in the current trial have learned more in months than [Fletcher] learned in years of using the vOICe," says Meijer. The study, which will involve around 10 participants, may even answer the long-standing question of whether congenitally blind adults can benefit in the same way as Cheskin and Fletcher.
Intended to last about a year, the trial is being run by Luis Goncalves and Enrico Di Bernardo of MetaModal in Pasadena, California, a company that tests sensory substitution devices. The first two participants are a 66-year-old who has been blind from birth but has slight light perception, and a 40-year-old who lost his sight due to diabetes. Twice a week they attend two-hour training sessions, including tasks such as finding a target in a large room and making their way around an obstacle course. "They are empowered by this," says Goncalves, adding that the 66-year-old "can now go to a restaurant and seat himself without asking for assistance and is teaching his wife, who is also blind, how to use the vOICe".
Not everyone is quite so impressed. For example, J. Kevin O'Regan, a psychologist at Descartes University in Paris, France, points out that the system needs time to scan an image and so lacks the immediacy of vision. "I think it's possible with resources and time to make something much better than the vOICe," he says.
Seeing ear to ear?
Nevertheless, vOICe is still of great interest to O'Regan and other researchers, who want to know what these people are experiencing. Are they really seeing? And if so, how?
The traditional view is that the brain takes data from the different sensory organs- in the case of sight, the retina- and, for each sense, processes it in separate regions to create a picture of the outside world. But that cannot explain how someone can have a visual experience from purely auditory information.
As such, O'Regan says our definition of what it means to see needs to change. Our senses, he argues, are defined by the way the incoming information changes as we interact with the environment. If the information obeys the laws of perspective as you move forward and backward, we will experience it as "seeing"- no matter how the information is being delivered. If you have a device that preserves these laws, then you should be able to see through your ears or your skin, he says.
If O'Regan is on the right track, we will have to reconsider long-held ideas of how the brain is organised to deal with incoming information. Traditionally, the brain is considered to be highly modular, with the occipital, temporal and parietal cortices handling inputs from the eyes, ears and from the skin and deep tissues, respectively. According to O'Regan, however, these regions may actually deal with certain types of information- shape or texture, for example- irrespective of which sense it comes from.
There is some evidence to support this view. In 2002, neuroscientist Amir Amedi, now at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, published research showing that a specific part of the occipital cortex was activated by touch as well as visual information. He named it the lateral occipital tactile-visual (LOtv) region. Amedi and colleagues hypothesised that the area lit up because the occipital cortex is oriented around particular tasks- in this case, 3D-object recognition- rather than a single sense (Cerebral Cortex, vol 12, p 1202).
How does this tally with the vOICe experience? Amedi recently collaborated with Alvaro Pascual-Leone, director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Boston, Massachusetts, to find out whether the vOICe system activates the LOtv when users perceive objects through soundscapes. They asked 12 people, including Fletcher, to examine certain objects such as a seashell, a bottle and a rubber spider using touch and the vOICe system. They were then asked to recognise the same objects using only the soundscapes delivered by vOICe. For comparison, they were also asked to identify objects based on a characteristic sound, such as the jingling of a set of keys.
During the trials, fMRI brain scans showed that the LOtv region was active when expert users like Fletcher were decoding the vOICe soundscapes, but significantly less active when they just heard characteristic sounds. For those using the vOICe for the first time, the LOtv region remained inactive, again suggesting that this area is important for the recognition of 3D objects regardless of which sense produces the information (Nature Neuroscience, vol 10, p 687).

Today is Father's Day. As always, a bittersweet reminder for me of a sweet and gentle man who passed away too young. It's been over twenty years. He missed out on my children being born; he would have been a wonderful grandfather. And they will never know him.
Today is also a day to celebrate all the fathers out there and honor our memories. Of course, for me, that involves food. My father was an old school meat and potatoes man, except for the occasional salmon steak, (note the word "steak" has to be in the name). I know healthy eating was not as publicized or so relevant during that era, but when I think now of how he ate then, I have to smile. It made him happy to eat the way he did. I certainly understand that. He enjoyed dining out in fancy restaurants. He loved The Jolly Fisherman, still an institution in Roslyn, New York. Or, of course, a great steak at Peter Lugers. That was his joy. Regardless of whether or not he could afford it, a fine meal was his way of feeling important, spreading his love to his family, and getting us to be together. I guess that's what fueled my food obsession.
My dad loved sweets. No secret to anyone that knew him. I remember the Schrafft's chocolate ice cream in the freezer. A whole shelf of Drake's cakes, Yodels, Twinkie's, Ring Dings, and Devil Dogs. The boxes of Entenmann's, Danish Rings, Marshmallow Iced Devil's Food Cakes, and donuts piled high on our kitchen table. (My friends loved coming over.) Every time my father brought another box home my mother would be angry, yet have a big grin on her face. "Oh Bud, why do you do that?! …get me a fork". It gave him such pleasure to torture her like that.
My dad never gained weight. I used to laugh because he would weigh himself with his clothes on and a pocketful of coins. His diet consisted of red meat, potatoes, ice cream, bread, butter…did I mention BUTTER? Breakstone Butter, we went through tubs of it. I mean, isn't everything better with butter? The amounts he would put on his bagels would give a cow a heart attack. Add to that the heavy cream he would use for his coffee…or better yet, pure whipped cream if he wanted to be fancy. Oops, I almost forgot the sugar. Yes, spoons and spoons of it added to his coffee and cream.
My dad didn't drink alcohol. Ever. But he could tell my mom if her Manhattan was good just by looking at it.
My dad didn't quite get the concept of sharing, either. He never wanted Chinese food. We always had roast beef and potatoes on Sundays. We didn't order in Chinese like most families on Long Island. When we finally convinced him he would like the old-fashioned "pepper steak", he was hooked. It was steak, after all. But it was his dish. No sharing allowed.
My dad was a very kind man with very simple needs. Family, friends and good food. He lived his life eating rich foods. I guess that is how it made him feel.
