In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), an often-obscure disarmament agency in the Netherlands, the Norwegian Nobel Committee was promoting its aspirations for international harmony as much as it was rewarding achievement.
Sure, the organization, which is responsible for implementing the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, has a long track record of accomplishments. Since its establishment, the agency, which is based in The Hague, has conducted thousands of inspections and has verified the destruction of more than 80 percent of the world's declared chemical weapons.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee said that the award was being granted in part to reward yesterday's cleanup, but that the main purpose was to encourage the inspectors to address today's crisis in Syria. And that is a mission that is very much incomplete. Yes, the OPCW's technical specialists, along with experts from the World Health Organization, braved sniper fire as they helped the United Nations determine that chemical weapons had been used in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta. And yes, a team of OPCW inspectors, backed by the United Nations, entered Syria last week to begin the ambitious work of overseeing the elimination of one of the world's deadliest chemical weapons programs. But it's an open question whether that goal can be reached in a timely fashion; this week, the U.N. and United States were scrambling to find a taker for Syria's deadly agents, without much luck.
"By means of the present award to the OPCW, the Committee is seeking to contribute to the elimination of chemical weapons," according to a statement issued by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. "Recent events in Syria, where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons."
The OPCW only played a supporting role in securing Syria's agreement to disarm, however. The men who brokered the deal — Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, and of course Syrian President Bashar al-Assad — were not even mentioned in the Nobel Peace Prize statement. In fact, the Nobel committee chided the United States and Russia for failing to meet a 2012 deadline for completing the destruction of their own chemical weapons programs.
Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to a senior Russian diplomat — whose government has armed and defended a regime responsible for killing the vast majority of the more than 100,000 people slain in Syria's civil war — would have been almost unthinkable. Giving it to Kerry might have been seen as reinforcing the contention of Barack Obama's administration that the threat of unilateral U.S. military action forced Assad to pledge to give up his chemical weapons. It was the State Department, after all, that in August had cast doubts about the relevance of international chemical weapons inspections when the United States weighed whether to strike Assad's forces.
Andrew Tabler, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, worries that awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the inspection agency risks raising expectations impossibly high, setting it up for a potential steep fall.
"We should congratulate the team because they are the ones who are going to put their necks on the line, but we don't know whether this deal will bear fruit," he said. "In terms of bringing peace, which is what the Nobel Prize is all about, this is not going to solve the war. Even if Syria gets rid of chemical weapons by the middle of next year, we're not going to have peace."
The selection of the OPCW reminded Tabler of the decision to award Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in his first year as U.S. president, before he had a proven record of achievements. For a selection committee that favors multilateralism, the selection of an American president who vowed in his campaign to make a break from President George W. Bush's go-it-alone attitude toward the world seemed only natural.
"I realize this is aspirational, and I think the idea of getting chemical weapons out of Syria is a good thing," Tabler said. "But it strikes me as odd. I don't know any other industry where you are rewarded before you actually do anything."
Najib Ghadbian, the U.S. and U.N. representative for the Syrian opposition group the Syrian National Council, welcomed "the timely recognition" of the chemical inspectors as they face major challenges in the coming months. But he also voiced frustration that the world's focus has been so narrowly focused on Syria's chemical weapons program, while the regime carries out most of the killing using conventional weapons, including airstrikes, Scud missiles, artillery, and other heavy weapons.
"For us, the key limitation on the disarming of the regime's chemical weapons is that there is nothing that limits the regime from using these conventional weapons, which have killed 98 percent of the Syrian people," he said. "The international community should be doing more to stop the killing by the Assad regime, including by chemical weapons."
In citing the OPCW, the Norwegian Nobel Committee noted that it has long had a soft spot for disarmament, noting that it "figures prominently" in Alfred Nobel's will. The award has previously been awarded to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.
Nonproliferation and disarmament groups praised the decision to award the OPCW, saying it would revive international support for efforts to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction. Former Nobel laureate and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who founded Green Cross International, which helps governments dispose of chemical weapons, said OPCW's recognition "can provide the impetus to accelerate efforts to rid the world of these deadly weapons. A chemical weapons-free world is within grasp."
In praising the Nobel committee's choice, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it drove home the fact that a scourge of the past was rearing its ugly head.
"This recognition occurs nearly 100 years after the first chemical attack — and 50 days after the appalling use of chemical weapons in Syria. Far from being a relic of the past, chemical weapons remain a clear and present danger," he said in a statement. "Together, we must ensure that the fog of war will never again be composed of poison gas."

Rays "remain interested in" re-signing Johnny Damon and Casey Kotchman
Nov 21, 2011, 11:51 AM EDT
Last offseason the Rays signed Johnny Damon and Casey Kotchman to one-year deals and got good value out of both players, but rather than simply let them walk as free agents Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Tribune writes that they "remain interested in" re-signing both hitters.
"They are very prominent in our discussions right now as we're going through things," executive vice president Andrew Friedman told Smith. "I expect that will continue."
Most likely the Rays will only be interested in re-signing Damon and Kotchman if the market for them is weak enough to create another bargain situation.
Damon hit .261 with a .743 OPS in 150 games, which is hardly top notch production from a corner outfielder/designated hitter, and at age 38 even maintaining that performance will be tough. Kotchman was much better, hitting .306 with an .800 OPS, but prior to signing with the Rays he'd been terrible for three straight seasons.

Bring back Kotchman. Trade Davis for a power hitting Right Fielder/DH/1B, preferably right-handed, to platoon with Joyce. Someone like Morse/Trumbo/C. Lee/Willingham/DeJesus/Rios or M. Young. Or bring up Guyer and/or Canzler (who would have to be moved to RF/DH), or move him (there are shortages of 3B options in MLB) and grab a closer.
Perhaps a deal with Atlanta. Guyer and Canzler for Prado, Ross, and Medlen.
Or even go after FAs Cuddyer/Nady or Ludwig.
And then, if there is enough cash left consider Damon.
- bigdogpappad - Nov 21, 2011 at 6:42 PM
Aaron – nice shallow analysis about Kotchman, you obviously chose a small offensive sample which included a year with the absolutely clueless Mariners organization. The guy is closer to a .280 career hitter and should have a gold glove or two by now but has lost out to Mark Teixeira and Adrian Gonzalez Gonzales the past two years – he makes the infield so much better than given credit for.

Adult Retardation. Special Ed Kids have More Courage.
Hello fellow warrior,
The next Warrior Wisdom E-zine was to concentrate on MIND.
Let's do it.
Schooling started back up this week for my Warrior girls.
I've got schooling and self-education on my mind. Both involve books, learning and studying. In many ways, my whole life is a testament to what power knowledge truly is. But make no mistake — none of the education that has mattered most to my OWN success in life was acquired through formal schooling.
One of the greatest shocks to me is when people ask me, not "why," "how" I've gone on to do other things in my life beyond my sports entertainment successes. The question reeks of an ignorance people have about the power of self-education. Of course, in many instances, the question is asked in an attempt to ridicule. Pathetically, there is an oozing disdain many people harbor for those who put self-education's power to work to make something better or different about their lives. Most of these people die at an early age by living lives of self-destruction.
Studies show that 60% of all people do not like, even hate, what jobs or profession they do to provide for themselves. The majority of these people are college educated professionals who pursued distinct curriculums so they could have careers doing what they, now, hate.
I get emails everyday from people all over the world telling me this kind of story. And yet, they seem to have no clue how to change it, like it would be impossible to do. For some weird reason, they believe what knowledge they learned years ago, through previous schooling in their youth, is all they have to offer. Like the possibility of learning new knowledge and taking up new pursuits was restricted to a certain time period in their life, and is beyond them now.
Are you one of these?
Are you one of the 30 yr-olds writing me that you have all this incredible and expensive college education but you feel like you made a huge mistake choosing the career you've pursued and are lost about what to do from this point forward in your life?
Are you one of the 40 yr-olds writing me and telling me your career is just one big can of Suck Ass and you've sucked ass for so long that you're now stuck ass-over-ears into a lifestyle you just don't want anymore but don't no how to get out from under?
Are you one of the 50 yr-olds writing me and whining that the race is all over for you, that you didn't have what it took to be a contender when you were young and you sure as hell don't now because you're too damn old and too damn tired to think about it let alone do anything about it?
What — are you a fucking retard? Are you into retardation? Mental retardation? Physical retardation? Life retardation?
You may say, defiantly, "Why no, Warrior, I am not a retard and I don't appreciate you calling me one." And I say to you — you aren't being honest with yourself. You damn sure are a retard if you consciously allow your thinking — your MIND — to hinder life progress.
Your age, your mistakes up till this point in your life, your immediate circumstances — what do any of these matter when you have the power of your mind and all the potential you can endlessly exploit out of life? Nothing, really — except how you are allowing your MIND to use them as excuses. Being smashed face-first into the truth does not always feel good, no. But the truth is what it is, and to fix what is wrong about ourselves, at some point and time, we must face it.
The more I watch over the schooling and education of my own girls, and reflect upon why my MIND works the way it does, it becomes more and more obvious to me why people do not "get it" about the power and potential of self-education.
The truth is, formal, classroom schooling, in and of itself, has a peculiar way of instilling ignorance about one's true life-potential and an overall fear of life all the while it dismantles creativity and individual uniqueness.
"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michaelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel."
~ Pablo Casals
Twenty years after the education system has its way with you, you go out into the world and do what you have no love or passion of doing. Basically, you go out and do something to make money so you can turn right around and spend it. You become one of the robots — both working on the production line and buying what comes off it. And, then, 20, 30, or 40 years down the road, you start to question what the hell you've been doing and what life is really all about. But by that time, the natural, instinctual creativity and intelligence you were born with as a child is substituted with a long-lasting, ingrained ignorance whereby you believe you don't have the ability to learn at all anymore.
It's a shame. It's a GOD DAMN DISRESPECTING SHAME.
Schooling, ladies and gentlemen, is NOT synonymous with education. Not the kind of education, anyway, that matters toward preparing the human being for the greatest possibility to live a happy, inspired and fulfilling life. Oh, hell yeah, you learned all you needed to so that you can (and WILL without question) play by the rules of the system. The problem is all of THAT was designed to destroy your possibility at living the greatest life you had the potential for. You own all the crap, image and prestige money can buy, but you don't OWN yourself.
None of your schooling taught you the most important thing. A love of learning. A lifetime love, so that you would know, forever, that you don't need a school or schooling to educate yourself.
Listen to me. Learning and education happens in the mind, not in the school. You have a mind. You don't need a damn school or schooling. If you will grasp the reality of these two things, then you don't have to EVER accept (at any time or age) the life circumstances and conditions you are miserable in.
You are an Artist capable of Masterpieces. Don't waste any more time fucking around. What's gone is gone — forever. What you have left is ALL there is. Only a retard would waste it.
Read the biographies, words, thoughts, writings and ideas of others who got it right. Piggyback on their inspiring spirits. Bask in their strength and creativity and determination and courage until the virtues wear off on you. Wrap your MIND around GREATNESS and your OWN acts will become GREAT soon enough, too.

Kill Off The Goddamned Coward Within.
Hello fellow warrior,
What with all that is going on this country right now, we could sure use George. Maybe two Georges. George Washington and George Patton. The courage. The character. Could go a long way in making things move along more nicely, constructively and prosperously than they are right now. Of course their strategies on how to get things done would not sit very well with the fence-sitting eunuchs of today, and there would probably be a lot of collateral damage to explain. Still, it's an uplifting daydream to have on a hot summer afternoon.
I haven't publicly discharged my opinion of the political state of things for quite some time. And I'm not going to now. Not here in this Warrior Wisdom piece because that is not what these are all about. Maybe later on Warrior's Machete.
You have to admit, though, if I was in the mood to discuss what this country is going through right now, Patton's words would make for a super premise to blast-off from.
I use Patton's quote today because I like it. No, I LOVE IT!! It FIRES me up!! Nothing like a good ole' GodDamnit or Fuck You to get a man motivated to get up off his ass and take action on something. And motivating and inspiring ourselves — kicking our OWN ass is what we warriors are all about, here.
Patton knew how to do it. He was a master of it — and he believed it was his Destiny! You have to love that!! That's why his legacy is so admired and inspiring today. He kicked ass and never cared to take any names. It didn't matter who the enemy was. To him, they all had the same name. Bastards. LOVE that!!
The GodDamned cowards you need to KILL are the pests inside your mind talking you out of getting out there and conquering the life that is yours for the taking. To make it happen you have to kill the GodDamned bastards off. Swat them down. Smash them into squishy unrecognizable goo. Visualize blowing them to smithereens in such a violent manner that you can feel the disintegrated ooze running down the inner walls of your skull. Render them unidentifiable!
Look, in many ways you've been lied to when it comes to how you get your life act together. Most of the crap out there you can turn to for guidance is touchy-feel-ly, telling you to look in your heart and find peacefulness, have patience and calm understanding, and learn to unconditionally love everyone else in the world. You know, hugs and kisses — the Chicken Soup stuff. Now, don't get me wrong. I, too, can find some inspiring stories in that stuff, and there is nothing wrong with inspiration touching you on an emotional level that tugs at your heartstrings.
But the truth is, life — your everyday life — isn't like that. Real life is a fucking meat grinder, not a warm, cuddly and cozy bowl of Chicken Soup. Peace and love and serenity and incense burning and sitting in the shape of a pretzel and humming Kumbaya isn't going to lead you to your promise land — your Destiny. To get there — you have to WAR.
Take it from Patton, a Warrior General whom God saluted when he showed up at the Pearly Gates.
1. War is Hell. Nothing is pretty about it. Nothing smells good about it. Nothing feels good about it. It is ugly. It stinks. It is pain. This includes the war you must engage in your life to rid yourself of your doubts and weaknesses so that you can fulfill your Destiny.
2. There is no peace without there, first, being war. Between enemies, one good and the other evil, there first has to be war for there to be peace. Good must slaughter evil. Good must destroy evil's will to fight. Good must bring evil not just to its knees — but to its death. You cannot find or make compromise with the doubts and weaknesses (evils) within you. There is no way of peacefully disarming them. You kill them violently and viciously.
To get in the mood for becoming your OWN One Warrior Nation, eat your meat raw and bloody, and keep your motivation aggressive and brutish.

Master Your OWN Machine.
"Without self knowledge, without understanding the working and functions of his machine, man cannot be free, he cannot govern himself and he will always remain a slave."
Hello fellow warrior,
Everywhere I go today I see people being slaves to machines other than the great one they OWN. Little plastic and metal boxes, all of them wired to digital ether, where out of thin air the slaves exchange mostly nonsense and conformity. Hypnotized by the gadgetry, all the so-called individualists don't blink an eye while they short-circuit and abandon the hardwiring of their own private and uncommon creativity.
Technology has done a hell of a lot more than simplify the organization, record-keeping and filing of information. It also simplified the task of turning human beings into slaves.
You may already be one. You want to pay attention to how and where you spend your time and energy to know for sure.
Brilliance and Greatness does not lie in a little box built of wires and chips. Brilliance and Greatness lies in the flesh, blood and bones of yourself.
Your Matter is what matters most, not the man-made Matter we can produce.
You have a purpose endowed within you as much as you are endowed with inalienable rights (and innate desires) to be Free in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
It's in your makeup to desire freedom because you are a "being" created able to handle its responsibility. But if you don't use what you ARE to think and act for yourself, you won't have freedom. On some level you will always be a slave to someone or something. It's the certain consequence of not understanding the functions of your Human Machine and your refusal to govern yourself.
If you don't master yourself, some other master will.

Hello fellow warrior,
Free Will. An incredible power. An incredible responsibility.
Simple things like right or wrong, true or false, good or bad, accurate or inaccurate, effective or ineffective, constructive of destructive, proper or improper…what side you come down is regulated by how you choose to use your Free Will.
Every moment of your life you have the power to choose not only which direction your immediate life will head but where your life will end up down the road, as well. Days, month, and years from now, you will find yourself in the exact destination you drove yourself while being the sole designated driver of your choices.
Wherever you find yourself in your life, to know how you got there, look in the rearview mirror. It may do a great job of making the memories and timelines of the choices you've made all fuzzy and faded, but the consequences of your choices, of them, the rearview mirror holds not the magic power to erase.
The consequences…they hang on for the ride, all the way to the end. To haunt or help, they sit in the backseat, crunched up on their haunches on the edge of that rear seat, their fingers clinched around the two tiny bars of the headrest, pulling the faces of their histories up close enough to be breathing down the back of your neck, screaming and whispering, taunting and telling, never letting you forget what damages and deeds you've left behind on the highways you've traveled in your life.
Free Will is the only Master with Power enough to control the Monster's appearance in the rearview mirror.

Overtraining is bullshit.
Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.
Got quite a few emails about my comment that I believe overtraining is (another) sissy modern day concept — and BS.
Many of you who commented couldn't believe I said such a thing. You think I should explain myself — "if you can," you snidely add. Apparently, you're concerned young kids following my BODY advice might be "mislead." Going by your training standards today, you might be right. Young kids who follow my advice would be mislead in how to become champions — winners. And God knows, we can't have any winners in our culture today. Not when kids are "lead" to be losers.
I found it interesting that the majority of you commentators seem to think you also read that I said rest or recovery is not necessary at all. Along with disagreeing with me by believing overtraining is possible and legit, you support your believe by chastising me, "You know rest is important for the body to recover, Warrior, so I don't understand why you would put forward any idea that it is not."
Yes, Einsteins, I do. I do know rest and recovery is important. I never said they were not. I never put forward any idea as you imagine. You read something into what I actually said that was not there at all.
What I said — and absolutely still stand by — is that overtraining is not possible unless you believe so in your mind. Oh, and it is BS.
Like most of the modern day theories intended to stifle action but stimulate a lot of yakkitty-yak, overtraining is one of those state-of-the-art suppositions that keep people from doing the THREE tried-and-true things they actually most need to do to build up their physiques or their physical strength:
Train. Train Hard. And TRAIN HARDER.
For good measure you might want to throw in a fourth thing if the three above don't seem to be working.
Number Four: TRAIN EVEN HARDER.
Training is what people of all ages, young and old, need to concentrate on before they think too much about doing anything else — including the silly idea that they might be overtraining. Actually doing the exercise work at hand will do wonders for your body you would not believe. I guess, though, this isn't a training method scientific enough for today's trainers and trainees. On the other hand, thinking and talking too much can actually prohibit training altogether. Go figure. Walk into any gym today and see this self-evident truth at work for yourself.
Young recruits today think they need supplements like pro-hormones and NO2 stimulants before they even go to the gym and experience what it is like to grab the iron and throw it around for awhile. In my mind, a long while, say 3-5 years, for starters. Maybe after they put in that kind of time and commitment they can start having some serious thoughts about what might be important next.
I must get 50 emails a day asking me what is the best prohormone, and what is most important, working out? OR food and supplements? And they do not mean food and supplements to go along with the working out they would do at the same time. They mean — is it more important to eat food and take supplements OR workout to build my body? Yes, fellow warrior, you are understanding me correctly in the way I've written this. Somehow or other these kids have the idea that they can eat food and supplements without working out and build their bodies that way. Exercise might not be necessary according to the newfangled bodybuilding theories they hold.
This is a direct result of the fraud and idiocy the health and fitness industry perpetuates, to sustain their desire to keep people ignorant, stupid, and confused. If a young kid is going to be mislead, and potentially do harm to himself, it is the modern day crap that it is going to cause it, not me saying overtraining is bs. My advice will actually help the kid!
Back in my bodybuilding days it was typical to train bodyparts three times per week, including even the compound exercises — squats, deadlifts, bentover rows and heavy bench. I continually and progressively got huge and strong (all the monsters I knew then did too). Gritting, grinding, grunting, gnarling and growling were training concepts regularly witnessed, but overtraining? Never heard of it.
Train big. Eat big. Get plenty of good, sound rest. Period. All kinds of bodybuilders and strength athletes thrived off this simple three part formula. This was before they had all the theories, all the science, all the trainer certifications, and all the mad, over-the-top chemical experimentation that goes on today.
During my sports entertainment career, for over 5 years of a practically straight-through tour of duty, I traveled on a plane nearly every day, never missed any hardcore HIT workouts (no less than 6 days per week), survived on 3-4 hours sleep a night, and ate mostly 5-6 cans of tunafish per day (and practically nothing else when I could not find eating establishments that served good, clean food). Many times I would go 24 hour periods without any other kind of food — no carbs, no fats…just tuna out of the can.
That's 24 hours where I would have also executed my workout and performed a wrestling match. I worked nearly every night of the year, pushing my body and energy reserves to the absolute limit. My success was dependent on my physique and physical conditioning. It was not something I could leave to chance or give silly, half-ass attention to. The limited caloric intake and the extreme workload never manifested anything but the most positive effects. My body ALWAYS took whatever exertion I subjected it to and it responded by getting better and better over time even though the mental and physical demands became greater and greater at the same time.
The problem with young people today is that they are doing too much theorizing and talking and not enough damn work. It's no mystery that athletic champions in any sport put in a lot of hours — a full day's work of 8-10 hours working on what needs to be done to succeed at the highest level.
How all this BS started that the body of person working out with weights can only handle 90 minutes of training a day only a few times per week, and the remainder of the time should be spent laying around eating gourmet health foods and shoveling down expensive supplementation, I don't know. But I do know it is all BS because I speak from experiences that undisciplined, weak-minded individuals and skinny fitness-training theory freaks never had. All of this nonsense came from out of the minds of midgets who saw big money in marketing easy muscle building strategies to the masses of lazy, afraid-of-hard-work losers like themselves.
Sounds like excuses to me. Damn pathetic ones. Ones not tolerated around here. Get to the gym, shut the fuck up and train your guts and brain out. Your body will tell you when it needs rest and recovery. When it does, give it some.
But don't be a slave to its whining. Your best and most effective muscle building workouts will be when you least feel like going to the gym. Don't be a sissy to soreness and hard work — or even pain. Try it — I promise, if you are serious about building muscle, you'll love it.
If being big and muscular was natural, we'd all be big and muscular. Your goal to be huge is not natural and your body is going to try and come up with all kinds of excuses because it does not like what you are making it do. Tough shit. Engage Mind over Matter and go back and torture the crap out of it again.
Any kid out there training 5, 6 or 7 days a week and doing everything and anything, giving it his all, keeping his attitude positive, paying attention to what his body is telling him, drinking gobs of milk and not worrying about whether he has the new age supps — now, that's a kid you do need to be afraid of. There's a kid you will want to keep your eye on. Why? He's been mislead, and he's certain to be a future champion — and warrior.
Kicking your OWN ass is the best way to discover what it takes to kick the ass of your competitor — in any game or sport. Leave your OWN blood and guts in the training arena and your opponent will leave his on the battlefield.

I'm never without book. I love a great book.
I really love one of The Great Books of the Western World. They not only educate me, they enlighten me, make me more aware of how important understanding philosophy is to one's life.
I also read and enjoy books that inspire and empower practical aspects of my life.
Set yourself up on a reading program to read at least two books per week. Find an hour or two to read everyday. You have the time — you just aren't making it. Create this habit and it will change your life. If you have to get up an hour or two earlier than you normally to do your reading, do so. Increasing your knowledge and bettering your life takes discipline.
Turn the TV off. Leave it off if you don't have the discipline to only watch quality stuff that empowers your life. Better yet — throw the damn thing out. It never makes the quality of your life or your attitude any better when you watch the news or the junk programming (basically what ALL TV is today). Every time you watch this crap, it makes your attitude and quality of life worse.
Don't read garbage. Garbage in your mind, garbage out through your thoughts and actions.

13 Books that are Great Reads
"Until lately the West has regarded it as self-evident that the road to education lay through great books. No man was educated unless he was acquainted with the masterpieces of his tradition. There was never very much doubt in anybody's mind about which the masterpieces were. They were the books that endured and that the common voice of mankind called the finest creations, in writing, of the Western Mind."
~ Robert M. Hutchins
The books are from diverse topic areas. I can't force any of you to read. But you always ask what I do to stay inspired and positive in my own life. I read books. I spend at least two hours a day reading "good-to-great" books.
To gain knowledge that can help you live a better quality of life, you have to learn it, and to learn it, you have to read books or get the knowledge from some other source. Access to books is easy. Most of them cost little. A library card cost $5 — and is an awesome place to read. You can find many of the classic Great books online for free — Project Gutenberg is a good start. And in my opinion, reading makes a greater impact on your mind.
Thinking and learning, the kind that makes you more powerful in your life, is not something you do passively. The more engaged your mind is, the better. Watching video or listening to audio to learn is nothing compared to having your mind absorbed with the structure of a book and the process of piecing together ideas and concepts from words and sentences.
Even when it comes to fiction, there's nothing like imaginatively and creatively becoming one with the story inside a book. Even the best movies leave the best parts of a story out.
Success in life in its most fundamental way is effort and work. Books leave you no choice. Effective reading holds your mind captive — it makes you make the effort and do the work. And that's a good thing. A very good thing.
It's easy to find myself in conversation with people who want to better their lives. It happens frequently. But rarely is the person who wants change doing anything to learn more knowledge to create it. Developing the habit of daily reading WILL change your attitude and your life in dramatic ways. Up to you. Always is. NEVER anyone else.

The man sentenced to 12 years in prison for knowingly infecting 13 women and girls with the HIV virus has done his time but remains held in an upstate New York prison with no prospect for release, because authorities have deemed him to be a danger to society.
Nushawn Williams was dubbed the "HIV Predator" when he was convicted of having unprotected sex with young women and teens, some as young as 13, and infecting them in 1996 when getting the virus was considered a virtual death sentence.
Officials are refusing to let him out of Erie County's Wende Correctional Facility under the state Civil Confinement Law. Williams' lawyer Daniel Grasso is arguing in court papers that the law was enacted after his client's conviction and shouldn't apply.
"The real problem in the public eye is the HIV issue, that he transmitted HIV to individuals. They allege he did it knowingly, but to this day he tells me he wasn't really sure," Grasso said in an interview with ABC News.
Chautauqua County County health officials say they discovered that Williams was infected with the HIV virus when he was arrested in 1996 for petit larceny and was undergoing standard medical tests before entering a lock-up. They informed him immediately, they said.
Williams, then 19, was released on a conditional discharge and allegedly continued to have unprotected sex with women as he bounced between New York City and Jamestown, an industrial town in the mostly rural Western New York area 400 miles from the city. Health officials claim he is responsible for starting what some called a "one man HIV epidemic." Authorities alleged in court documents Williams was a drug dealer, and would prey on mostly disaffected teens in the small upstate town supplying them with drugs and gifts, even physical violence, to keep them under his control.
As young women and girls in Jamestown began showing up at county health clinics testing positive for HIV between March and August of 1996, medical officials lead by Dr. Robert Burke were eventually able to draw a connection to Williams, court records show.
The health department issued a county wide alert that October, splashing Williams' picture along with his known aliases and a warning about the HIV virus to try and draw more potential infected victims out, dropping what Burke described in reports as a "bomb" on the county as over 1,000 people lined up to get themselves tested.
"People were standing in line on the streets waiting for HIV testing at the time," Christine Schuyler, Director of the Chautauqua County Department of Heath said in an interview with ABC News.
Court records show officials were able to determine Williams had sex with at least 43 women in the Jamestown area, and 28 in New York City while infected, passing the virus to 13 people including a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old. Since that time, according to records, at least two of those who Williams allegedly infected gave birth to children infected with the HIV virus. Williams himself bragged in a 1999 television interview that his number of sexual conquests was more like "200 to 300."

Sam Galanis Contributing Writer Performance enhancing drug use in baseball doesn't affect the league leaders or the guys who are breaking records. Even if those guys get caught using PEDs, they'll get their 50-game suspension and move on. It affects the guys who get caught in the middle of the pack on the leaderboards. Guys who, as long as PEDs are still being used, won't get all of the recognition they may deserve. It affects guys like Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis, who has a different idea about how PED use should be handled. Markakis told the Baltimore Sun that he'd like to see five-year suspensions for first-time users and more lifetime bans. "No ifs, ands or buts about it," Markakis told the Sun, according to Comcast Sportsnet. "These guys are big boys; they can make decisions. If I go out there and rob a convenience store, I know the consequences that are coming with it. We are all adults here." Markakis laid it all on the line. He even offered to have his blood tested....

What's your favorite type of beauty product? Why?

Prescriptives' launched Exhilarating this summer, and I gotta tell you, that green packaging caught my eye. I'd say it's one of my favorite packagings I've seen for the summer thus far. I know some of you find it tacky, but I love it. It's so bright, vibrant, and SO summer. The Guava Exhilarating Lip Gloss ($14.50) smells like slightly sweet fruit and has this gold and springy green shimmer. It reminds me a bit of MAC's Springbean lipglass, but this doesn't feel nearly as sticky, though it is quite thick. I also tried Nectarine Exhilarating Lipcolor ($17.50), which is a semi-sheer coral shade. It doesn't lean pink, nor too orange, so I actually found myself liking it quite a bit. If you know me, you KNOW I'm all over a good coral lipstick/lipgloss! Definitely a perfect color for summer.

With the weather starting to feel like summer, I've been on the hunt for products to keep me moisturized and protected from the sun from head to toe. As to not to exclude hair, I tried out Davines' SU Sun Care line, which is a range of hair care products to help combat sun and summer fun consequences. I've been using the Moisturizing Replenishing After Sun Shampoo ($19.50) for the past month and a half, and I'm loving how soft my hair is.
It has a very earthy/herbal-y kind of scent, but it doesn't turn me off. I think I am holding neutral on the scent, which is fine, because it doesn't linger beyond washing my hair. My only concern with this product is the packaging, because I found that it was really easy to get more than you wanted. The way I fixed this was just being conscious of it.
Otherwise, it's been doing a fab job of keeping my hair looking healthy and feeling silky. When we get deeper into summer, I'm definitely giving the Nourishing Replenishing Mask a try!
Do you consider lipliner essential? Why/why not?
Not essential, but I see its usefulness! I'd just say I'm usually too lazy to bother with it. I am better about lip liner with really bold colors, though.
Can you tell it is fall preview day or what? 😉

Norway Data Shows Earth's Global Warming Less Severe Than Feared
Jan 27, 2013
New estimates from a Norwegian research project show meeting targets for minimizing global warming may be more achievable than previously thought.
After the planet's average surface temperature rose through the 1990s, the increase has almost leveled off at the level of 2000, while ocean water temperature has also stabilized, the Research Council of Norway said in a statement on its website. After applying data from the past decade, the results showed temperatures may rise 1.9 degrees Celsius if Co2 levels double by 2050, below the 3 degrees predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
"The Earth's mean temperature rose sharply during the 1990s," said Terje Berntsen, a professor at the University of Oslo who worked on the study. "This may have caused us to overestimate climate sensitivity."
The findings also show the effect of reduced airborne particulates from burning coal, which may decrease the cloud cover that cools the earth, probably has less of an impact on climate through indirect cooling than originally projected.
Study resets climate debate
A DECADE-LONG pause in global warming may have radically lowered the longer-term outlook for climate change, researchers have found.
A Norwegian team, using observations and powerful computer models, said the most likely outcome from a doubling of human carbon dioxide emissions was a 1.9C rise by 2100.
This compares with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's most likely scenario of a 3C temperature increase and is below the target that has been set to limit global temperature rise to 2C.
The lower temperature estimate follows research last week that said the Arctic ice may be much less sensitive to rising global temperatures than had previously been thought, and the acknowledgement this month by NASA climate scientist James Hansen that the five-year mean global temperature had been flat for a decade.
Dr Hansen said the temperature rise pause had been due to a combination of natural variability and "a slowdown in the growth rate of the net climate forcing". He said the 10 warmest years on record had all occurred since 1998 and global temperatures were expected to "rise significantly in the next few years" and in coming decades.
The Norwegian research does not reject the theory of climate change or downplay the need for action to reduce human carbon dioxide emissions, but it shows keeping the global temperature rise below 2C may not be as difficult as previously thought.
It is the inclusion of the pause in global temperature rises since 2000 that sets the Norwegian research apart.
Project manager Terje Berntsen said the sharp rise in global temperatures during the 1990s "may have caused us to overestimate climate sensitivity".
"We are most likely witnessing natural fluctuations in the climate system," Professor Berntsen said. "Changes that can occur over several decades and which are coming on top of a long-term warming.
"The natural changes resulted in a rapid global temperature rise in the 1990s, whereas the natural variations between 2000 and 2010 may have resulted in the levelling off we are observing now."

The synaptic mechanisms behind brain wavesDecember 17, 2013 12:20 am | News | Comments
How information is processed and encoded in the brain is a central question in neuroscience. But the brain's underlying synaptic mechanisms have so far remained unclear. In a recent study, researchers have discovered the synaptic mechanisms underlying oscillations in the hippocampus. Furthermore, the researchers suggest a role for these oscillations in the coding of information by the principal neurons in that area of the brain.

Cancer cells metastasize in several stages—first by invading surrounding tissue, then by infiltrating and spreading via the circulatory system. Some circulating cells work their way out of the vascular network, eventually forming a secondary tumor. Now researchers have developed a microfluidic device that mimics the flow of cancer cells through a system of blood vessels. High-resolution time-lapse imaging captures the moment of metastasis.
Microfluidics technique recovers DNA for identificationSeptember 18, 2013 2:13 pm | News | Comments
A team of researchers at NIST and Applied Research Associates, Inc. has demonstrated an improved microfluidic technique for recovering DNA from real-world, complex mixtures such as dirt. According to the researchers their technique delivers DNA from these crude samples with much less effort and in less time than conventional techniques and yields DNA concentrations optimal for human identification procedures.
Droplet digital PCR reproducibly quantifies microRNA biomarkersSeptember 3, 2013 8:30 am | News | Comments
MicroRNAs are abundant, small regulatory RNA molecules with diverse cellular functions. But their use as reliable blood-based biomarkers has been undermined by factors such as high interday variability. A new study, however, now shows that droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) technology can be used to precisely and reproducibly quantify microRNA in plasma and serum across different days.

Almost as sensitive as a dog's noseAugust 29, 2013 9:38 am | by Peter Rüegg, ETH Zurich | News | Comments
Using carbon nanotubes, a research team in Switzerland and California has developed a sensor that greatly amplifies the sensitivity of commonly used but typically weak vibrational spectroscopic methods, such as Raman spectroscopy. This type of sensor makes it possible to detect molecules present in the tiniest of concentrations.
More Reliable Nanoflow OperationAugust 29, 2013 8:36 am | Thermo Fisher Scientific | Award Winners
Nanoflow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is used for qualitative and quantitative proteomics studies due to its high sensitivity. However, traditional nanoflow operation can be unreliable, and small imperfections when making connections between the tubing, column, high-voltage electrode and emitter can result in irreproducible results. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s EASY-Spray nano-electrospray ion source addresses this through the use of specifically designed devices in which the separation column, heater, high-voltage electrode and emitter are integrated in a ready-made assembly.
Ion Chromatography, IntegratedAugust 29, 2013 8:20 am | Thermo Fisher Scientific | Award Winners
Ion chromatography (IC) is an analytical technique for the separation and determination of anionic and cationic analytes in various sample matrices. By introducing a high-pressure reagent-free IC system that successfully integrates conductive, electrochemical and charge detection, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has brought a new level of performance and speed to this important separations process.
Power of the ChipAugust 28, 2013 2:52 pm | Award Winners
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a standard method for characterizing protein stability, but has been limited by slow scan rates of up to one hour per sample, as well as the need for large amounts of expensive sample material. A compact, flow-through sensor developed by NevadaNano may offer a solution by enabling small-volume, high-throughput protein stability screening.

Perry closes door late to win Women's City Tournament
North graduate edged Castle's Katterhenry after last year's runner-up finish
MCCUTCHANVILLE, Ind. - Good manners on the golf course aren't expected to go much beyond staying quiet and respecting your opponent.
Meghan Perry almost took it too far Sunday at The Oaks in the final round of the Evansville Courier & Press Women's City Golf Tournament.
Perry, the first-round leader after a runner-up finish last year, insisted on holding the door to the championship open for Kayla Katterhenry until the very end.
Then the former North standout and current Ball State junior tapped in for bogey on the 18th hole for a one-shot win over Katterhenry, a Castle senior.
It gave Perry a 5-over par 78 Sunday and a 146 total after a 2-under 68 Saturday at Fendrich. Katterhenry followed an even par 70 with a 77 Sunday to finish at 147.
University of Evansville junior Sydney Skiles also shot 77 Sunday to finish alone in third place at 149 after a 72 Saturday.
Defending champion Taylor Merriss and former champion Natalia Fletcher finished in a tie for fourth at 153.
"This feels good," said Perry. "After finishing second last year there was only one place I wanted to go. Now I have nowhere else to go. All I can do now is defend."
Perry never actually fell out of the lead Sunday, although there was a time she shared it with Katterhenry and other times when the Castle senior and Skiles were just one stroke behind.
Katterhenry, who now has two seconds and a third in her only three City appearances, was fighting uphill most of the day.
After picking up two strokes in the first three holes to tie, Katterhenry bogeyed the next four holes against pars for Perry. Then she birdied three of the next four holes to pull within one shot.
"I came back strong," said Katterhenry. "But it wasn't enough. Meghan was consistent. She hit the ball solid and on-target throughout the round."
Perry admitted as much, but said there was one part of her game that kept getting in the way — her putting.
"I three-putted the first three holes and had 37 putts for the round," she said. "But my chipping was really good, and I was holding it together on everything else. Honestly, I thought the delay (two hours for lightning) helped me today."
Shortly after the restart Katterhenry three-putted No. 13 against a routine par for Perry, who would move into a two-shot lead over Katterhenry and three shots over Skiles.
Still, even when Perry's three putts kept coming, Katterhenry couldn't close because she kept putting herself in trouble off the tee.
The first chance Perry had to close the tournament door came at the par-5 15th when Katterhenry's first two shots found the trees and she would need, and miss, a 30-footer for par. Perry three putted from 15 feet for bogey.
Then on the par-4 16th, Perry hit the middle of the fairway and Katterhenry found another tree. This time she had a clear view, but its roots were basically surrounding her ball.
"I couldn't move the ball so I had to hit the bark and hope it would move the ball," she said. "I was able to move it ahead and make par."
Katterhenry had to make a 10-foot putt after Perry had chipped within inches. Then both bogeyed No. 17, Perry via the three putt, Katterhenry after too bold a chip. It meant Perry still led by two.
"I had no idea where I stood at that point," said Perry. "It never crossed my mind in any way until Tyler (Merkel, her caddie) told me to finish strong, that I was in the lead.
"But by the time I got to the 18th tee I wasn't worried about if I'd win, lose or throw it away. I just wanted to hit the next shot, stay in the moment."
Katterhenry knew exactly where she stood and gambled off the tee.
"I was trying to cut the corner, hoping I'd be right of the trees," she said. "I got a bad kick and was right behind one."
But she hit a splendid punch shot through the green, putted 10 feet by the hole and then made the comebacker for par.
"At that point I still had a chance," said Katterhenry. "But I can't feel too bad about my finishes. My time will come."
Said Perry: "Even though my putter wasn't working today I held it together. I feel pretty good about that."

Juvenile detention statistics
The AIC has maintained a data collection on the number of persons detained in juvenile detention centres since 1981, consisting of a count of persons detained in detention centres on the last day of each quarter of each year. Similar information is not available on the sentenced non-custodial juvenile population.
The long-term trend data shown in this section are based on the census of juvenile detention centres conducted on 30 June of each year.
Trend in juvenile detention centre population
As there are differences between jurisdictions regarding the definition of a juvenile, statistics are shown for persons aged from 10 to 17. Figure 92 depicts the detention rate of male and female juveniles from 1981 to 2007, including those on remand and those sentenced.
Persons in juvenile detention centres, from 1981 to 2007, by sexa (per 100,000 of that sex per year)
a: Rates as at 30 June of each year
- From 1981 to 2007, the overall detention rate for juveniles fell by 51 percent, from 65 to 32 per 100,000.
- In 2007, the rate for male juveniles reached 57 per 100,000, a 24 percent rise since 2004 but a 46 percent fall from 105 in 1981.
- The rate for female juveniles has also fallen, from 23 to 6 per 100,000. The proportion of females in the total juvenile prison population was nine percent on 30 June 2007, down from 17 percent in 1981.
- The incarceration rate of male juveniles was nine times as high as the rate of females.
Indigenous status
Data on incarcerated juveniles by Indigenous status have been made available since 1994. This section shows the incarceration rate of Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons in juvenile corrective institutions, from 31 March 1994 to 30 June 2007, for each quarter.
Persons in juvenile detention centres, from 31 March 1994 to 30 June 2007a, by Indigenous status (per 100,000 of that status per year)
a: Rates from 30 September 1996 and 31 December 2002 have been calculated using detainee totals and population estimates and exclude Tasmania, because data on detainee Indigenous status in Tasmania are unavailable for this period
- The number of Indigenous persons in all juvenile detention centres (excluding Tasmania) on 30 June 2007 was 426. This represents 59 percent of the total number of persons detained in juvenile detention centres, a rise from 51 percent in the previous year.
- The detention rate per 100,000 of Indigenous juveniles was 397, more than 28 times as high as that of non-Indigenous juveniles (14).
- There has been a 15 percent decline in the rate per 100,000 of Indigenous juvenile detention since the high of 468 recorded in March 1997.

But, it wasn't 8 born in battle, it was 9 born in battle.
IE: Using the moment, and destroying/Time locking the Daleks and the Time Lords, ended 8's life and triggered his Regeneration to 9
10 doesn't carry around as much Guilt as 9, not because he didn't do it, but, because Rose helped him heal, which is why it's a Good thing for 10.5 to go off with Rose, because 10.5 needs Rose, like 9 and early in his 10 lifetime
