The Co-Director of the John A. Moran Eye Center's International Division and cornea surgeon Dr. Geoff Tabin and his partner Nepalese Ophthalmic surgeon Dr. Sanduk Ruit are the subject of this inspiring story detailing their quest to cure preventable blindness worldwide. "Second Suns" takes you on many harrowing missions with Dr. Tabin, Moran's esteemed Dr. Alan Crandall, and many other wonderful doctors from our International Division. This is a story about sacrifice and love from the co-author of "Three Cups of Tea." It will surprise you, make you laugh out-loud, and bring you to tears as you find deeper meaning to your own life by following the improbable life paths of Dr. Tabin and Ruit.
It is a love story - of unconditional love and volunteer sacrifice for all mankind - by two very different doctors—one from the United States, the other from Nepal—who unite in a common mission: to literally rid the world of preventable blindness.
In this transporting book, David Oliver Relin shines a light on the lifelong work of doctors Geoffrey Tabin and Sanduk Ruit, who have dedicated their lives to eradicating preventable blindness through the Himalayan Cataract Project, a nonprofit organization they founded in 1995. Relin takes us from improvised plywood operating tables in the farthest reaches of Nepal to state-of-the-art surgical centers to village hospitals in Africa where these driven men are restoring sight—and hope—to patients around the world. With their revolutionary, inexpensive style of surgery, Tabin and Ruit have been able to cure tens of thousands—all for less than twenty-five dollars per operation. Relin brings to vivid life many of these patients, from women who need their eyesight so that they can work as seamstresses and feed their families to old men who cannot walk treacherous mountain trails unaided to cataract-stricken children who have not seen their mothers' faces for years. Second Suns is the unforgettable story of how two men with a shared dream are changing the world, one pair of eyes at a time.

Uncertain About Rhinoplasty for "Masculine" Nose
I never really had a bad nose, it was straight, but I always thought it was too masculine for my petite face and it overshadowed the rest of my features.

Questions and Answers
GMC Jimmy No Start - Revisited
Q. Hello Mr Ciulla, Thank you for e-mailing us and letting us know that you replied to our question. The problem has only gotten worse since I posted that question and if you don't mind I would like to ask you about it. To remind you, 1991, GMC Jimmy, S-15 4 WD 4.3 liter 6 cylinder, approximately 185,000 miles on her.
One day about two weeks ago my husband went to leave the store and it sounded like it had a little trouble starting. The next day leaving work, the same. It made it home but has not cranked up since. The first thing(s) we did was to replace the fuel pump, filter and spark plugs. It still would not crank.
We were advised it was the oil sending unit, so of course we replaced it, still no crank. We had tested the relay and thought it was fine but still two days ago we bought another one and replaced it.
HERE is where the latest problem arises, Upon installing the new relay, my husband went to check the wiring and the orange wire feeding into the relay has correct voltage BUT the tan/gray wire coming out does not. The check engine light is coming on BUT the computer will not feed us any codes?
So to respond to your reply is that, there is spark, fuel cannot shoot from injectors because there is no power to the pump, and the check engine light is on but not helping. We have checked all the fuses and they are fine.
Another internet mechanic told us that it is the ECM. My husbands face just cringed, it has already nickled and dimed us to death. And yet another mechanic told us it was the squid in the intake manifold. We feel it is most likely electrical, the injection system is electrical in our truck and this is the one area we really are at a loss in.
We did trace all the wires and they are all intact, no rips or breaks. Any further assistance you can give us would be greatly appreciated. We understand you are extremely busy.
Thank You and God Bless You, Carmen
A. If you know which wire at the pump relay is going to the pump, get a fused jumper wire and put one terminal to the constant power terminal and the other to the wire that goes to the pump. Then listen to the pump to see if it's running. If so, try to start it up.
If not, you still have a problem with the wires to the pump or something else in the tank. If it does start, the truck should start without the jumper due to the oil pressure switch. It acts as a backup circuit if the relay fails. Once there is 6 lbs of oil pressure the switch should close and turn on the pump.
The ECM grounds the coil circuit of the pump relay so with a test light hooked to the battery positive terminal one of the relay terminals should light the test light for 2-3 seconds after the key is turned on.

KINSHASA, Congo—The invalids line their wheelchairs along the edge of the pier, high above the Congo River's swirling, deadly currents, as if about to plunge in.
But they are not suicidal. They are in a race. And they must solve an important puzzle: How can they board the approaching ferry without being kicked or beaten? What is the best way to avoid the bullying laborers who soon will drop crushing, 120-pound sacks of rice onto the pier? When, and for how long, should they pause to dodge the barrels of solvent that will come rolling down the loading ramp? And can they really move fast enough to squeeze past that Mercedes where a rich man sits with his windows rolled up, honking impatiently to drive onto the boat?When the ferry from Brazzaville drops its plank, the matter is resolved within minutes. Hundreds of people stampede off its deck, elbowing hundreds more who shove to get on. In between, the men in wheelchairs swivel and probe, rolling this way, nudging that way, seeking openings. Policemen in khaki swing at the passengers with webbed belts, bits of garden hose, rubber fan belts, knotted ropes and wires. A stevedore slips and spills a bale of peanuts. Short, sharp pushing matches break out.
"It helps to be like us," says Gode Mowangi, one of hundreds of polio-stricken traders who eke out their living transporting goods across the Congo River on their wheelchairs. "You are invisible. People let you alone."
Many of Kinshasa's 5 million citizens must feel something like Mowangi these days--ignored by the world, swept up in a gigantic brawl that is being fought largely over their heads, and scrambling to survive, to avoid being trampled to death.
The brawl in this case involves a sprawling, regional war of unprecedented scale in Africa. Deep in the continent's belly, a rabble of Congolese militias and seven different armies are fighting over whether President Laurent Kabila should remain in power. The conflict has ripped Congo in half.
Congo's war is to some extent a river war; the Congo River's 7,000 miles of navigable tributaries often define the route of an army's advance. To follow its bent course, then, is to follow the flow of the conflict itself--from the mineral-rich headwaters in Katanga, to the steamy jungles controlled by rebels, to the mighty waterway's final dash for the sea near Congo's forsaken river capital, Kinshasa.
But if the Congo River today tells the story of a rich, vital nation imploding into chaos, then it tells a bigger story too. Far beyond the Congo's million-square-mile watershed, politicians and diplomats are whispering that the Congo war could drag Africa into unprecedented crisis.
Some fear Kabila will fight to keep power at any cost, including even the fracturing of Africa's third-largest nation.
Should this happen, analysts say, the murky struggle in Congo will become the defining African war of the new century. And the resulting upheaval will be unlike any since colonial times.
"If you end up with a de facto partition of Congo, you set an explosive precedent," said a Western diplomat in Kinshasa. "You basically raise the specter of the breakup of the weaker nation-states in Africa. It's the continent's biggest taboo."
Since the early 1960s, when colonialism began to crumble, there has been one cardinal understanding among most African statesmen: Tinkering with colonial borders, however nonsensical they might be, invites the dual disasters of border wars and tribal secessions.
Even hard-core pan-Africanists like Tanzania's Julius Nyerere declared that such a course would "lead us to the tragic absurdity of spending money on armaments while our people die for want of medical attention."
Corrupt governments and the Cold War have confirmed Nyerere's fears anyway. But it is worth noting that in more than 70 coups in Africa since 1963, none has resulted in the forming of new nations. Eritrea, which became independent in 1993, was a colonial creation.
"The real danger of Congo today is that we are in hangover from the Cold War," says Johannes Dawit, the speaker of Ethiopia's parliament. "Old East-West alignments have collapsed and things are still very unpredictable, in flux. I would expect Africa to be in turmoil for the next 10 years. Sudan could break into three pieces--south, west and north. And Congo could be a detonator."
Dawit explains that Ethiopia's solution to Africa's lingering instability is ethnic federalism: Major tribal groups have their own schools, television stations and taxes.
But the real tragedy of Congo, with its 250 ethnic groups, is that the problem is reversed.
Just as the Congo River's branching tributaries web the country together with a maze of tropical streams, virtually all Congolese, from a jungle fisherwoman to a European-bred rebel leader, want to preserve their union.
"This was the only good thing [former dictator] Mobutu left us after decades of thievery--we all still call ourselves Congolese," says Jean Mpasi-Mazeba, a sad-faced accountant with the government's paralyzed shipping agency.

Great Collaborations Town Hall Meeting
Thursday, December 27, 5:30-7:30 pm at the JCC
Topic: Tainted Games - The Politics of Race in the 1936 Berlin Olympics
Guest Speaker: Dr. David Clay Large, Author, "Nazi Games, The Olympics of 1936"
A reaction panel will follow his presentation featuring Sala Udin, Joy Braunstein and Holocaust Educator Jason Russo.
This first Town Hall Meeting is part of the Great Collaborations program. Throughout the 20th century, Blacks and Jews have shared in the struggle against violence, bigotry and the fight for civil and human rights. These collaborations have forever changed the world's political and cultural landscapes.
The August Wilson Center in partnership with the Holocaust Center of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh present the exhibit, "The Nazi Olympics: Berlin 1936." This exhibit focuses on one of the most extraordinary times in the history of the world, the 1936 Olympic games, when athletes from all over the world converged on Berlin, Germany. These games show the triumphs of Black and Jewish Athletes, even as Adolph Hitler was laying secret plans to attempt the total annihilation of Jews in Germany and all of Europe. As Hitler prepared to receive the world to attend the games, Black and Jewish athletes prepared to shatter Olympic records while also shattering Hitler's theories of "Aryan Superiority" and the racial inferiority of Blacks and Jews.
This exhibit signals the launch of a seven month educational and cultural series called Great Collaborations, which will explore collaborative milestones between Blacks and American Jews throughout the 20th century. In addition to the exhibition, the Great Collaborations series will include four Town Hall Meetings and three cultural presentations in each of the August Wilson Center artistic disciplines: music, theatre and dance.
The goal of the Great Collaborations educational and cultural series is to explore past collaborations and use them to open dialogue that leads to collaborations in the future.

I'm resurrecting a couple of 2m amps I built a long time (at least two moves and one wife) ago. The amps were based on Motorola transistors and the article was written by Helge O Granberg. I have his Motorola ap note but I am trying to find a copy of an article he wrote. I think it was in QST but could have been in Ham Radio. The ap note will get me by but the article had more practical construction information.
I've tried the QST Archive search but only found a cross-reference sidebar under Granberg's name.

Shotgun in the Veyron Vitesse
One of TG mag's finest adventures over the last 20 years: Africa in the mighty Bug'...
Posted: 04 Oct 2013
You don't want to be stuck in the arse end of nowhere, however picturesque, with people you wouldn't want to have a beer with, and luckily our compact crew enjoys a little light refreshment and a laugh. Jens, in particular, is quite a character. He's a Veyron veteran, having been on the programme from day one (work started back in 2001, which seems hard to believe). He reckons he's racked up in excess of 50,000km over the years in various Veyrons, and once did 10 zero-225mph-zero runs to see if it was possible in a distance of 2,300m ("I needed another 300m," he says). Well, it beats winter testing in a Polo.

For obvious reasons, the Ravens will be totally psyched to join Ray Lewis on his "last ride" when they take the field at M&T Bank Stadium in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday. The Indianapolis Colts also will show up with hearts afire for head coach Chuck Pagano, whose battle against leukemia has been the inspirational story of the season.
If that isn't enough human interest for you, new Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell will be calling plays against the team he led to the Super Bowl three years ago and — since we never get tired of this — local fans will burn for a little more revenge against the franchise that deserted Baltimore nearly three decades ago.

Office of Public Affairs Info for Media
For release: Immediate Date: Oct. 27, 2010
Contact: Bill Furney 919-715-4174
Raleigh -- Coastal residents working on or living in buildings damaged by water during recent flooding should be aware of the potential for biological contamination, industrial hygienists with the state Division of Public Health warn.
If conditions are favorable, microscopic organisms such as fungi (mold) and bacteria can germinate and colonize materials, contents and furnishings long after the initial cleanup is completed. People who live and work in contaminated buildings run the risk of developing potentially serious illnesses such as asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Porous, soft or spongy materials such as carpet, upholstered furniture, sheetrock and bedding that are soaked by floodwater or rainwater dry very slowly. With sufficient moisture, microorganisms can reproduce in numbers that can present a health risk after only 48 hours. The only way to prevent this growth is to quickly dry affected materials. Once the materials have been colonized they must either be thoroughly cleaned and dried or disposed of. Remember that floodwaters are contaminated with soils and dissolved organic matter that are excellent nutrient sources for microbial growth and remain as residues if the affected materials are only dried. Actual cleaning (scrubbing) is necessary.
The following guidelines are recommended for cleanup activities:
More information about Mold and Human Health can be found at the Division of Public Health's Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch website at www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/oii/mold/.

The Red Sox steal a member of the Yankee Universe
Mar 15, 2010, 12:17 PM EDT
Thinking of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry as the Cold War, this little episode doesn't exactly rank up there with the formation of the Warsaw Pact or the Cuban Missile Crisis. As far as provocations go it's somewhere between Lyndon Johnson sending the Marines to the Dominican Republic to fight communists in 1965 and the North Koreans capturing the U.S.S. Pueblo.
Wait, it's not even on that level. This is more Nikita Koloff's face-turn to join forces with Dusty Rhodes against his Uncle Ivan and Krusher Khrushchev.
This will all be more fully explained when my nine-volume history of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry comes out next year. It will be turned into a documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman. True story.
- enough already - Mar 15, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Good riddance!
- Old Gator - Mar 15, 2010 at 12:42 PM
Yeah, that was a pretty dumb comment, but I think that he was canting his humor about the same way as those Red Sox Nation commercials Craig embedded here last week did – exaggerating the issue to parody how absurd the entire rivalry issue has become. It's not as if he said something he honestly meant to be offensive, you know, like "It's OK as long as he's not a lawyer."
Other than that, he really looks like he's busting out of that Red Sox jersey like a seventeen year locust escaping its pupate phase. With those glasses, he's got a face like one too.
"God Bless America" isn't my idea of a replacement for "The Star Spangled Banner" either. To much jingoistic superstition. And to the idiot who posted to that article about Tynan that liberals want to take God out of the pledge of allegiance but don't mind "In God We Trust" being mentioned on money, I would recommend this: go into an expensive restaurant and have yourself a big meal – crab royale, a sorbet intermezzo, kobe beef with asparagus hollandaise, kierschalgershtupptorte with Galapagos shade-grown dark roast coffee, a waffer-theen meent and a jeroboam of Moet – and when the waiter brings the check, recite the Pledge of Allegiance by way of payment. Now do you understand the difference, you politically atavistic moron?
- Wooden U. Lykteneau - Mar 15, 2010 at 1:02 PM
Actually, this is more like signing away Mike Stanley.
- YankeesfanLen - Mar 15, 2010 at 1:22 PM
Yeah, let's see them get Kate Smith-or Irving Berlin for that matter.
- Joey B - Mar 15, 2010 at 1:52 PM
As a RS fan with NYY tickets, I'd much prefer him to stay in NY. He's got a stunning voice, and a great life story.
- enough already - Mar 15, 2010 at 2:03 PM
Nice one, Gator! (Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the post you referred to.) But as for the "he didn't mean it that way" excuse, yeah, he did.
- JH0088 - Mar 15, 2010 at 3:15 PM
Hmmm…. From the article:
State Sen. Jack Hart (D-Suffolk), who hosts the event annually, convinced Tynan to throw a Red Sox jersey over his shirt and tie.
"Look at that, isn't that great?" state Sen. Hart said at the event considered a roast of the political who's who of Massachusetts.
Isn't what great, Senator, that you've managed to endorse the hatred of Jews and co-opt the Red Sox into Tynan's brand of anti-semitism at the same time?
I'm sure the team is thrilled with you, that is if they even manage to put the association of their team name and logo with the bigoted Tynan together. But seeing as the twelve Jews in all of Boston probably weren't paying attention today, this will wind up sliding under the radar.
- Old Gator - Mar 15, 2010 at 7:33 PM
In 2000, the Jewish population of Boston was estimated at 245,000 by demographic sources for the the UJA and JVL (Jewish Virtual Library), and Boston is currently rated as having the fastest growing Jewish population of any major urban area in the US. I'd be interested in knowing how virulently resentful that unaccounted-for 244,988 Jews of yours feel about Tynan. My gut feeling is that most of them, following his apology, probably don't give a flying fark at a rolling donut anymore.
- tadthebad - Mar 15, 2010 at 7:52 PM
The difference between money and the Pledge is simple enough. Not sure why one can't argue against using God for both, not that I would. Sure are some fancy food words, though – that was impressive.
- Joey B - Mar 16, 2010 at 8:53 AM
If you're trying to confuse the poster by using facts, don't bother, he sounds like a hater. It was a weak attempt at humor by Tynan. He apologized. Just like with Torii Hunter, you move on. There are limits, but we really need to live in a world where you can tell the occasionally Irish joke, Polish joke, etc.

The 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is, as these things go, something of an on-paper whitewash: 0–62mph in 3.5 seconds, a top speed that scrapes 200mph, AWD traction for that ballistic 524lb ft, very nearly four seats and a good-looking fabric roof that stows in 13 seconds, up to 31mph. It claws at the road surface with 520bhp, through helpful systems including Porsche Traction Management – which drives the rear wheels in normal conditions and uses a water-cooled differential to bring the front axle into play under duress – anti-slip regulation and an automatic brake differential to produce the kind of natural-feeling grip that can nevertheless make all the spit pool in one area of your mouth during a long corner, or hard braking. This effect is less noticeable during acceleration, due to the fact that you've already probably swallowed your tongue. Quick tip: engage 'Sport Plus' mode in a Turbo, left-foot brake, press down the accelerator, see 'Launch' on the dials, pick up your left foot and see if you can prevent yourself from swearing. It's like a mechanical Tourette machine.
And it gets better. Potter and it's no harder to drive than a hatchback. The vision is acceptable – though not so great around the rear three-quarters with the hood up – there's a decent space under the front bonnet for shopping, and you can put smallish children or largish bags in the back pair of seats. The PDK seven-speed 'box is largely lovely, though slightly elastic if you jump on and off the throttle in traffic and the stop/start feature is enthusiastic enough to cut the engine before you come to a complete stop. We managed 24.8mpg, and didn't feel worried leaving the car parked outside, seeing as it looks nice, but not exactly outlandish. Even the standard integrated electric wind deflector just behind the seats gave a warm feeling of design integrity when the sun happened to make an unscheduled appearance. Top stuff.
And yet this isn't the best Porsche. Go fast with the roof down, and in a Turbo you'll be far too busy to enjoy the view, and the noise is toothy rather than operatic. Better to have a Coupe, and just concentrate on annoying less practical supercars, or have a sonically more inspiring Carrera S and go a tad slower. So it's a bit of top-end box-ticking, but there are more intelligent, satisfying choices in the Porsche range.

It is the existence of these organs that many of the Families of Lepidoptera, especially among the moths, owe the continuance of the species. They operate in the association of the sexes, with such an irrestible and far-reaching force as to exceed our conception and to be marvelous to our eyes. . . . Can not chemistry come to the aid of the economic entomologist in furnishing at moderate cost, the odorous substances needed? Is the imitation of some of the more powerful animal secretions impracticable?
This statement sums up much of the research that has been conducted on the chemistry of sex attraction in insects over the past few decades. Research efforts have focused on the overt chemical signals used in the mating process, with the driving force and financial backing for much of the research due to the potential for use of synthetic pheromone chemicals in pest control programs. This effort has resulted in the identification of sex attractants for >1600 insect species from >90 families in nine orders, with an emphasis on Lepidoptera (2). The variety and complexity of chemical structures (>300 reported structures) observed among the various insect orders attest to the insect's amazing ability to sequester and synthesize unique structures and blends, mainly composed of acetogenins and mevalogenins. These essential signaling chemicals of the "sex attractant" communication system are interesting but represent only the more obvious chemicals involved in complex systems of synchronous emitters and receivers. Rather than review all data on this enormous

Governmentwide Fraud Prevention Control Weaknesses Leave Program Vulnerable to Fraud and Abuse, but VA Has Made Progress in Improving Its Verification Process
February 7, 2012
Governmentwide fraud prevention control weaknesses over the SDVOSB program leave it vulnerable to fraud and abuse. In October 2009, GAO reported on 10 selected firms that misrepresented their status as SDVOSBs, which allowed them to win approximately $100 million in SDVOSB set-aside and sole-source contracts. Cases like this happen because the SDVOSB program relies on firms to self-certify annually in the federal government's contractor registry that they are owned and controlled by service-disabled veterans, but most agencies do not validate this information. In fact, GAO found that the program lacks key fraud prevention framework elements, which include preventing firms from fraudulently entering the program, detecting and monitoring for continuing compliance, and investigating firms that abuse the program.
For example, the only governmentwide fraud prevention control in place is SBA's bid-protest process, in which interested parties can contest contract awards. In prior work, GAO found that the process lacked effective controls because firms could complete contracts even after SBA found them ineligible, rendering the process ineffective. In July 2011 GAO testified that the 10 firms cited in the 2009 report had received another $100 million dollars in new federal contract obligations despite their fraudulent history. SBA and VA had taken some actions against firms by July 2011, including suspending 2 of the firms, and requesting that all firms change their status in federal contracting databases to show they were not eligible for SDVOSB contracts. However, as of July 2011, several of the firms continued to self-certify themselves as SDVOSBs.
VA has made progress implementing a verification program for firms seeking SDVOSB contracts from VA. GAO testified in November 2011 that VA's program includes an initial verification process involving document reviews, site visits to contractor offices, and a risk assessment for each applicant firm. In addition, VA has instituted a status protest process and a debarment committee designed to ensure only eligible firms receive contracts and that ineligible firms face consequences for misrepresenting their status. Those improvements may help VA reduce the risk that ineligible firms will gain access to VA SDVOSB contract dollars. Nonetheless, GAO also made 13 recommendations to VA for improving its verification program and further reducing the risk of fraud and abuse. VA concurred with the recommendations and outlined plans to improve the program. To improve governmentwide fraud prevention controls, GAO suggested that Congress consider expanding the VA verification program to all agencies.

Members of the UK government are seeking to close a tax loophole that currently allows online music, app, and book downloads to avoid the country's 20% "value added tax" in favor of much lower international tax rates, reports The Guardian. If the push is successful, iTunes customers in the UK will instead be taxed at the appropriate rate for their own country.
However, the new law won't go into effect until January 1, 2015, so there's still time for things to change. Supporters of the change say that it will lead to more fair competition among foreign and domestic companies, since UK-based companies are currently at a major disadvantage due to the higher tax rate.

Let's be honest, does this really warrant news…??? And anyone with any tech savvy would be buying in the much cheaper USA anyway, you register an account, buy a prepay iTunes card online with delivery via email, and just buy everything cheaper anyway…
This will become even more common if this happens, and then the music industry will lose even more money, that is, of course for the people that PAY for there music downloads…
If you live in the UK well yes it does warrant as news! Currently the tax paid on digital services is about 3% as all services route out of Luxembourg and that's their tax rate. And this is Apple and Amazon we're talking about, the majority of who's customers are NOT tech-savvy and won't go to the trouble of finding out how to set up a US-based account and screw around with email-based gift cards.
Oh, I didn't realize this was http://9to5mac.co.uk
Sweden tried to do the same. EU law is clear. Dubble taxation is forbidden. You have to pay WAT in the country that you buy stuff for unless the store sells more then a specific amount. Then the store don't pay local VAT but instead the selling countries VAT.
Amazon.co.uk for example: I don't pay UK VAT when I buy there. I have to instead pay 25% Swedish VAT. If I buy something from mom-pop.co.uk: I have to pay UK WAT but no WAT in Sweden.
Sweden tried to take double VAT. The customers first had to pay Apple/Luxenburg VAT and then 25% VAT in Sweden. Somehow Apple won the trial and we only have to pay Luxenburg VAT on iTunes.
= Same thing will happen with UK.
Even if the UK government win its not that much different. Luxenburg VAT is 15% and UK VAT is 20%. So its 5% more.
We as taxpayers and customers have to strike back against our greedy politicians:
Register US AppleID = 0 VAT. Politicians have to learn that they can't just raise taxes year in and year out. Here in Sweden the lowest tax rate for a worker is 75%. "High" income earners over 5000dollar/month have 85%+ tax rate. And they are raising taxes. Why work when the government gives away all the money to other people?

Understanding net neutrality and a new book examines treating disease in America
Mary Glenney
From A Woman's Point of View | Listen to this entire show:
Tags: JODIE GRIFFIN, Net neutrality, The Disease Delusion, DR. JEFFREY S. BLAND
This week on From A Woman's POV we cover Net Neutrality and Medical Challenges in treating disease.
There are BILLIONS, if not TRILLIONS of dollars in "them there hills" – and it is all about digital information. The SEC has to decide – is the ISP a telecommunications carrier in which you decide and choose what you want coming in, or is it an information provider which has some say in your choice? JODIE GRIFFIN, Senior Staff Attorney at Public Knowledge will explain this. Public Knowledge preserves the openness of the Internet and the public's access to knowledge; promotes creativity through balanced copyright; and upholds and protects the rights of consumers to use innovative technology lawfully. PK continues to fight for net neutrality because paying customers have a reasonable expectation of consistent, reliable, and nondiscriminatory services.
If this is causing your blood pressure to go up – how is that blood pressure being treated? Drugs - and then more drugs to counteract the side effects of those drugs… and on and on? The Disease Delusion by DR. JEFFREY S. BLAND, essentially the founding father of functional medicine challenges the medical paradigm of treating the disease as opposed to optimizing the health of an individual. Perhaps one of the saddest sidebars in the health care battle in the last few years was the focus on the affordability of health care rather than questioning the quality of that health care in which 75-80% of the diseases that actually kill us are being so ineffectually treated. Disease – we have a lot of. Health – not so much. DR. BLAND will discuss this and his new book, The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life.comments powered by Disqus

Dear America,
If you wonder why you make me really uncomfortable, don't look to the guy currently in the White House, or to the fact that an awful looking family comedy starring "The Rock" is the most popular movie in America (in a year in which the top overall comedy remains "Wild Hogs"), or at the fact that outside of San Francisco most of you don't respect Barry Bonds as the best baseball player of your lifetime. No, look to the ratings for the premiere of "Cavemen" on ABC.
I suppose that in a nation of 270 million (or more, possibly many more) residents, a new sitcom premiering with an audience of just under 9 million viewers shouldn't be all that impressive, really. That's still more people than will watch any comedy this week besides "Two and a Half Men" and [*sigh*] "Rules of Engagement." More than "How I Met Your Mother" or "The Office" or "30 Rock." The show did a 3.3 rating among adults 18-49, which is thankfully lower than most of the NBC comedies, but still higher than, say, FOX's "Bones" did last night.
The original "Cavemen" pilot sent to critics in May was all "Cavemen are an oppressed minority just like African-Americans, aren't we provocative?" It wasn't funny. That's why the new pilot that aired last night was all "Cavemen are just like everybody else only hairier and less funny, aren't we provocative?" And although the whole thing was declawed of its racial subtext, every once in a while somebody would make a comment about people needing to date their own kind or about the sexual potency of cavemen and I would just shrug. There's also something disturbing about watching a 30 minute show in which the actors can barely change their expressions and in which there's no sense of the performer under the make-up at all. That's Sam Huntington in the picture up there. Why is this what Sam Huntington wants to be doing now?
Are Cavemen drunk dialing or playing Wii or racquetball actually funny? If so, I may need an explanation to the subtle humor. Then you can go into what extra depths "traveler's cheque" satire got from having been delivered by Cro-Magnons.
I laughed twice at the original pilot, both times at the spectacular Julie White, a recent Tony winner who deserves some sort of even bigger award for being the only vaguely funny part of the new "Cavemen," something the producers obviously recognized, because she's a totally different character now. Still funny. Nothing else is.
I'd talk about why last night's "Reaper" was much less funny than the pilot -- something about the editing and direction not recapturing the splendidly dead-pan pacing Kevin Smith helped bring to the first episode -- but I've gotta rush to a set visit.
My Zap2it colleague Rick has gone into more depth on the suckage of "Caveman" over at the sporadically populated Gwyneth blog...
Oh and since I began this post in letter form, I guess I have to sign off...

Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN) is implementing visitor restrictions at its two hospitals, Manchester Memorial (MMH) and Rockville General (RGH), and at Woodlake at Tolland Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in an effort to protect patients/residents, visitors and employees seasonal flu immediately. Anyone 18 and younger, including siblings and family members, will be restricted from certain areas of the hospital/facility unless being treated as a patient. The Family Birthing Center at MMH will have special restriction for siblings of the newborn. The Mothers' Group and sibling classes will be suspended for the remainder of the flu season. As always, anyone who has any flu-like symptoms – even sniffles believed to be allergy-related – or who is recovering from an illness should not visit.
"ECHN is committed to ensuring the safety of our patients, visitors and staff during flu season and especially during this unusual flu season," says Deborah Parker, Senior Vice President for Patient Care Services & Chief Clinical Officer. "We recognize that these temporary changes to our visitor policies may be inconvenient and disappointing to some, but they are in the best interest of everyone."
These restrictions may change as the spread of seasonal flu increases. Therefore, anyone planning to visit either hospital or Woodlake at Tolland should check ECHN's website at www.echn.org for further advisories.

I think we will see Mr Twister vs Mr Flipper battle soon.
That's just out of this world. And for the record, his front twisting skills are beautiful. The Japanese twisting phenomenon doesn't make it look so nearly as nice IMO.
Fantastic routine but sadly I believe this one was overtime – I clocked 75 secs (against 70 sec time limit?).
He goes overtime quite a lot.
I do remember his Olympic bronze medal routine landed bang on the time limit buzzer (One millisecond later or had he taken a step would've = no bronze).
He also goes out of bounds quite a lot too (the reason behind his failure to make EF at worlds last year) so I think it's unlikely that he'll beat Kenzo.
On time and in bounds though and he definitely could do it.

In Commercial and Services
Safaricom was the most actively traded share at the Exchange and closed unchanged at 4.80 and traded 21.652m shares worth 104.678m.
Safaricom rallied 7.87% the previous session. Safaricom is +70.169% on a total return basis in 2012 and released strong first half earnings Thursday after the closing bell.
After yesterday's pause for breath, I expect a push beyond 5.00 before year end. Safaricom is at a level last reached in January 2011 and hence this is a 22 month high.
Kenya Airways closed unchanged at 11.70 and traded 152,300 shares. Demand versus supply are in balance and I think Kenya Airways has all the negative news baked into the price and hence positive surprises will see the price rally from here. Nation Media firmed 0.44% to close at 228.00. Nation Media traded shares as high as 248.00 +9.25% intra day.
Among banks
Kenya Commercial Bank traded third at the Exchange. KCB closed unchanged at 30.00 and traded 649,000 shares worth 19.505m. Kenya Commercial Bank had buy side demand at the finish line for 487% more shares than were traded during the session signaling the price is well supported here.

City Trust traded second at the Securities Exchange and firmed 0.8475% to close at 357.00 and traded 225,300 shares [4.886% of its shares] worth 80.648m, which is a material Position.
Jubilee Insurance firmed 2.36% to close at 173.00 and traded 104,800 shares worth 18.13m. Jubilee is +23.57% in 2012 and trades on a trailing PE of 5.226. PanAfrica Insurance traded 103,000 shares all at 40.00 and +3.23%.
Industrial and Allied
EABL rallied 0.8333% to close at 242.00. EABL traded 74,700 shares worth 18.088m. Buy side demand outweighed supply by a factor of 2 versus 1. EABL is +45.639% in 2012 and the price having crossed its previous all time high of 240.00 from July 5th this year projects at least to 260.00.
KPLC firmed 0.95% to close at 18.40 and traded 715,800 shares worth 13.201m. KenGen rallied 2.5833% to close at 9.95 and traded 965,700 shares worth 9.649m.

5 Ways To Live And Love Again After Failure
Failure is a part of life. It's not something that anyone can run away from and it comes in all different shapes and sizes. Failures are experienced both in your work life and also in your personal life when it comes to the different relationships you have with people.
Some people can weather failure better than others, but most of us out there usually can't handle it and crack under the pressure that accompanies it. For many of us, it takes time to work up the courage to try something novel and of course we are usually a lot more cautious the next time around.
That is not a good way to approach life and is actually a way to set yourself up for failure- again. Of course failure sucks and we all know it. It's not anything fun to deal with and especially when we are so attached with what it is, like a lover that we have just lost or a business that fell through which we loved so much and gave it our all, and very best.
But the worst thing you can do to yourself is approach something new following those failures and be afraid, cautious and doubt yourself, worrying that the same outcome will occur. When you tell your subconscious mind that whatever you're about to do might not work out, but will have the same outcome as before, the chances of failure are 100%.
You need to be confident and keep your head up high. It's okay to fail. Always remember those who say they can and those who say they can't usually both end up being correct. Here are the 5 things you need to do to live and love again after failure.
Take your time
Whatever the hell happened to you that left you down and left that terrible feeling in your stomach needs to come out. It's best to talk to someone who you are close with- get it out of your system. The worst thing you can do to yourself is hold it all in. After the purging is done you need to take your time; you never want to rush into anything because you're panicking. Acting off of emotions can be the worst thing you ever do.
You don't want to make any rash decisions or commit to something you will regret later. Whether it be committing to a new job or a new relationship- take your time. Time is what will allow you to have a clear head and make rational decisions. Also, don't ever let anyone's views or opinions tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing. It's your life- keep it that way.
Forgive yourself for any failures
Maybe it was your fault or maybe it was beyond your control. Maybe your terrible relationship came to an end or you lost that job you loved having. Before you can move on you need to accept it. You need to accept failure and forgive yourself for it. Learn what you did wrong.
The last thing you want to do is be in denial. Stop denying the truth; you know you failed. Be proud of it and move on. You're not the first person on planet earth that has failed. And here's a little secret: you won't be the last either.
Take personal accountability
To identify where the problems lay and why you failed, you need to take personal accountability for the consequences. Life is a two way street and your actions are what create reactions, and on and on.
Taking personal accountability for your actions will help to identify specific problems and allow you to work towards a solution. Otherwise you will keep blaming others and continue to repeat your mistakes. When you take accountability you realize where it is that you went wrong and will understand not to fall for the same trap twice or thrice.
Don't let the past dictate your future
It's very easy to just sit there and give up on the future because of your past- but that's not living life, that's purely surviving. Accept that you needed this failure to grow and mature so that you can progress as a human being. Don't let your mistakes dictate your future. All it takes is a choice, to feel the fear and do it anyway.
Learn to live and love again
Don't be afraid to live again and to open your heart to love, and to new adventures. A new relationship or a new career path is a great opportunity to do things right, to use the past as a guide, and create a successful, better future.
You're not a loser, and you are not a complete failure. Take your time, learn to forgive yourself, push past the fear and choose to live an epic life- an Elite life. Sure it will take time, but you need to train your mind to do it once again- but this time to do it smarter and without mistakes.
Your life is valuable and you are worth it.

There are now more treatments than ever for balding—some even work—and a cure is on the horizon
By: Jason Stevenson
Log on to the forum at
, and you'll find men with screen names such as Sheddy Kreuger, Diffusion Guy, and DamnThis venting about going bald. Their anger is understandable. For the 2,000 years between Julius Caesar's comb-over and Ted Danson's toupee, men have fought a losing battle against the body's senseless hormonal war on its own hair.
The outlook has improved slightly in recent decades with Rogaine and Propecia, the first and only FDA-approved drugs to treat baldness. Used consistently, they can stop or delay balding and sometimes regrow hair. But they're treatments, not cures.
The next decade, however, will bring peace to the men at
, as more effective treatments and even a permanent cure for baldness move from the lab to clinical trials. "The cure will come from gene therapy, and it's coming at a rapid clip," predicts Douglas Altchek, M.D., a professor of dermatology at New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
If your bathroom mirror shows that you can't wait for a cure, Propecia and Rogaine should be your first option. "Start both medications as soon as your hair begins to thin for the best results," advises Robert Bernstein, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia University. We asked the experts how the latest baldness treatments measure up.
Finasteride and Minoxidil
Rogaine's active ingredient, minoxidil, improves blood flow to the scalp, and Procepia's finasteride blocks dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. Many men triple-treat by using both Propecia and Rogaine—they call it "fin and foam" (finasteride and foaming minoxidil)—plus Nizoral A-D, an antifungal medication used to fight dandruff that has been shown in studies to regrow hair.
Off-Label Therapy
Sold as Avodart to men with enlarged prostates, this drug is more powerful than finasteride because it blocks both types of the enzyme that synthesize DHT. "The reproductive side effects—decreased libido and ejaculation disorders—may be persistent, so I don't usually recommend this medication for younger patients," Dr. Bernstein says.
Hair Transplant
The leading method today is follicular unit transplantation. It involves moving clumps of up to four hairs from the back and sides of the head to balding areas. "Hair transplants are most appropriate for people who have not responded to medical treatments," Dr. Bernstein says.
Saw Palmetto and Pumpkin-Seed Oil
Saw palmetto extract has been shown in several small studies to shrink the prostate, working like finasteride to block DHT. Likewise, pumpkin-seed oil is believed to help break down DHT in the liver. "Men reluctant to try drugs are good candidates for these natural treatments," Dr. Altchek says, "but there is a tremendous placebo effect."
D.I.Y. Laser Therapy
HairMax LaserComb
Cleared by the FDA in 2007 to treat baldness, the HairMax LaserComb works like minoxidil to increase blood flow to the scalp. However, the short duration (6 months) and small sample size of its one peer-reviewed study had our experts recommending proven treatments such as Propecia and Rogaine over this device.
BX3.4 Hair Helmet
Giving new life to "helmet hair" jokes, this device emits electromagnetic pulses that the designers claim will build thicker, stronger, more manageable hair. "The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices, in St. Paul, is loaded with things like this," Dr. Altchek says. "I can't give any credence to this device."

Pooley places sixth in women's TT
August 1, 2012 14:09 pm
Great Britain missed out on medals in the women's cycling time trial as Emma Pooley came home sixth quickest and Lizzie Armitstead finished 10th at Hampton Court.
The United States' Kristin Armstrong successfully defended her Olympic title, finishing the 29-kilometre route in 37 minutes 34 seconds to finish 15 seconds clear of the field.
World champion Judith Arndt of Germany finished in 37mins 50secs to place second, with Russia's Olga Zabelinskaya third in 37:57 for her second bronze medal of the Games.
Pooley, the 2010 world champion and silver medallist in Beijing four years' ago, finished in 38:37, while Armitstead clocked 39:26.
Armstrong was the last of the 24 riders to roll down the ramp and was quickest at the first time-check, after 9.1km, clocking 13:56.
Linda Villumsen was one second behind and Pooley was fourth quickest in 14:06.
Armstrong was four seconds faster than Villumsen at the second time check, with 8.6km remaining, in 27:13, while Pooley was sixth 32 seconds behind.
The flat nature of the course did not suit Pooley and she finished well behind as a dominant Armstrong triumphed.
A tearful Pooley said: "I'm just a bit disappointed. I shouldn't have got my hopes up."
