Topamax FDA Warning
The Food and Drug Administration has determined that topiramate, a drug used to prevent seizures and migraines, is dangerous when taken during pregnancy, as it may increase the risk of fetal harm. This announcement came on March 4, 2011.
Mothers who took Topamax during pregnancy before the warning was issued may be eligible for financial compensation from the drug's manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson. Share your story with the Topamax lawsuit lawyers of Williams Kherkher today at 800-641-9810 to learn more.
The FDA's Findings
After studying the drug topiramate, the FDA found evidence that Topamax may lead to an increased risk of fetal harm when taken during pregnancy. Specifically, the drug may cause:
These conditions, while treatable, may pose difficulties for babies early in their lives. Specifically, clefts may increase the risk of ear infection and may make feeding more difficult. Babies with these conditions should undergo corrective surgery.
While anti-seizure medications in general have been shown to increase the risks of oral clefts, Topamax may be up to three times more likely to cause the condition than similar drugs.
The FDA's Suggestions
The FDA suggests that healthcare professionals exercise extreme caution when prescribing Topamax to expecting mothers until further evidence surfaces. The FDA also suggests that doctors only prescribe the drug to pregnant women when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks.
Contact Us
Topamax may be the reason why your baby was born with a cleft lip or cleft palate. If you think this might be the case, please share your story with our Topamax attorneys today by calling 800-641-9810. We'll explain your rights and help you better understand your legal options.

Mountaineers Win a Slugfest
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – A nine-run first inning and a season-high four home runs aided the West Virginia University baseball team to a 14-7 win over Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon at Hawley Field.
The win gives WVU the series win and moves the Mountaineers into sole possession of third place in the BIG EAST Conference standings.
"I don't have the vocabulary to express how big it was for us to be able to win this series," coach Greg Van Zant said. "Last year, when they swept us the weekend before finals, it was a long ride home and we were 3-15 in the conference, to be able to come back and win this series is big.
Redshirt senior Grant Buckner started the first inning scoring with a three-run home run to left field, his team-leading seventh of the season. The blast extended his streak of reaching base to 40 games, tops in the BIG EAST. Buckner drove in both sophomore Brady Wilson and senior Justin McDavid, giving WVU a 3-1 lead.
By the end of the inning, West Virginia sent 13 batters to the plate and scored nine runs on eight hits. Sophomore Brady Wilson drove in two runs, while freshman Ryan McBroom, freshman Isac Franklin and redshirt senior Jeremy Gum each drove in one run. Buckner finished the inning with four RBIs, hitting a single to left field in his second at bat of the inning.
"In the first inning they don't catch a popup in foul territory by McDavid and then McDavid hits into a double play and they don't make it," Van Zant said. "To our hitters credit, that what good teams do, if there is an opening you take advantage and we just strung together a big inning."
After a scoreless bottom of the second, the WVU offense was back at it in the third inning when Wilson led off the inning with a home run to left field, his third hit of the afternoon and his second home run of the season. Buckner and McDavid each scored after a throwing error by the Cincinnati pitcher on a sacrifice bunt by Gum. Gum was able to hustle to third base on the play.
Gum and redshirt freshman T.J. Kuban hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the eighth. Gum's fourth of the season went just inside the right field foul pole, while Kuban's second of the season went just inside the left field foul pole.
Wilson and Gum each had three hits, while Buckner, Kuban, McBroom and Franklin all had two hits. Wilson also had three runs and three RBIs and Buckner had two runs and four RBIs.
WVU (27-19, 13-8) finished with 14 runs on 15 hits with two errors. Cincinnati (25-21, 11-10) committed five errors and scored seven runs on 16 hits.
Right-handed senior Andy Berry (7-2) pitched eight innings for the Mountaineers, marking the fifth time he has gone at least eight innings this season. Berry allowed five earned runs on 14 hits and struck out five.
"I had a rough couple of innings, but our hitters did a great job," Berry said. "I think we had five back-to-back hits and 10 hits in the first inning alone, that's just a real good job by every one of our hitters."
Nick Johnson, the Bearcat starting pitcher, lasted just 0.2 innings, allowing nine runs on eight hits. Both of Johnson's outs came on strikeouts. Cincinnati used four relievers, with Zach Isler pitching four innings of perfect ball.
The Bearcat offense was paced by Justin Riddell who went 4 for 5 with three runs, a RBI and a double. Justin Glass batted 2 for 5 with a home run to right field. Braden Kline and Matt Williams each recorded two hits for Cincinnati.
West Virginia will now travel to Akron for the final non-conference game of the season with the Zips on Tuesday, May 10 at 3 p.m.

Spinal Stenosis
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, caused by osteoarthritis, disc degeneration, thickening of the ligaments, injury, and other causes. Genetics also play a role in the development of spinal stenosis.
Symptoms include back, neck, and leg pain, including numbness in the posterior, thighs or calves, and difficulty maintaining balance while walking. Although painful, the symptoms of spinal stenosis can be alleviated with postural supports and pressure-relief products.
How We Can Help
Postural support and pressure relief are key in assisting those with spinal stenosis. Combinations of wedges, seat supports, and other tools for alignment may help in relieving pressure.

The process for resolving the tie for third in the women's 100-meter race won't be announced until Saturday evening at the earliest, USATF has announced.
Here's the entirety of the USATF announcement:
USA Track & Field has consulted with the affected athletes and their support teams regarding the tiebreaker for the women's 100 meters. USATF will finalize the tiebreaker mechanism to be used after reconvening with the athletes and their coach following Saturday night's final of the women's 200 meters. USATF will announce the final tiebreaker Saturday evening or Sunday morning.

In a reminder nutshell, the process is:
- If neither Allyson Felix nor Jeneba Tarmoh concedes the spot on the team to the other, each will be asked their preference for a resolution, a runoff or coin toss.
- If both pick the same means, it will be that means.
- If they pick different means, it will be a runoff.
- If neither expresses a prefernce, it will be a coin toss.
It's safe to say that pretty much everyone in the world except perhaps the athletes and their entourage would love to see a runoff held on Sunday immediately after what's supposed to be the last event of the meet, the men's 200.Tags: Olympic Trials

1 cup
all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1 cup Herman Sourdough Starter
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
1/2 cup
I used regular sourdough starter, along with whole wheat flour and honey. This resulted in great tasting fluffy pancakes!
These were okay.
69 Ratings
These pancakes are really good! They do have the sourdough taste, but not overpowering. I didn't use the herman starter, but another from this site that I had made. I think maybe next time I may try adding some vanill extract for a little more flavor, but overall a great recipe! The family loved them. Thanks for sharing!
A good solid pancake. There is absolutely no reason to ever purchase boxed pancake mix again. Fluffed up nicely, tasted great.
These are really good. Good way to use starter if you are not planning on making bread. I used another starter not Herman's starter. Used just 1 TBSP of oil, 1/3 cup of sweetened applesauce, omitted sugar and added 1 tsp of vanilla extract. For the flour, used 1/2 cup of oat flour and 1/2 cup of wheat flour. Very good pancakes.
These are the BEST pancakes I have ever had!!! MOVE OVER BISQUICK!!!!
Holy these are good. I have been searching for the perfect pancake recipe for forever and just happened to stumble upon this one by accident. I was simply looking for a new way to use my sourdough starter other than make sourdough bread and decided to try these. The texture is wonderful and the sourdough adds a nice subtle zip.
Used my Amish Friendship Bread starter for this recipe. The pancakes had a wonderfully light and fluffy consistency. The flavor was nice but next time I will try adding a teaspoon of vanilla as others recommended.

- Concert by renowned flute and guitar duo
Matthew McAllister and Aisling Agnew
Current News
Willamette hosts concert by renowned flute, guitar duo
Aisling Agnew and Matthew McAllister, one of Europe's premiere flute and guitar duos, will perform Thursday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m. in Hudson Hall, Mary Stuart Rogers Music Center, at Willamette University.
The program will include works by Astor Piazzolla, Francis Poulenc, Pietro Locatelli and many more. Admission is free.
Flautist Aisling Agnew and classical guitarist Matthew McAllister met in Glasgow while studying at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Their joint passion for chamber music, interacting with composers and performing new music immediately brought them together.
Since giving their debut recital in the "Harty Room" of Queen's University, Belfast in 2001, they have grown in popularity and performed extensively around the United Kingdom and Ireland, North and South America and Europe. The duo is now recognized as one of Europe's premiere exponents of the genre. Their debut album, Recital, affirms this reputation, featuring a wide range of virtuosic music from around the globe.
Paul O'Reilly at the Belfast Telegraph wrote, "Matthew McAllister's personality filtered through to his witty, yet tender and considered playing throughout. Joined by Aisling Agnew, who is already recognized as one of the top young flautists operating throughout Great Britain and Ireland, the duo gave a sensitive and rhythmically striking account of a work which has already received its premier in London and Dublin by the same duo."
For more information, call the Willamette Music Department at 503-370-6255 or visit the Agnew McAllister website.

...one more day, and it would have been POSTAL!! POSTAL, I TELL YOU!! I would not have been responsible for my actions! The reason for my unbridled last leap over the edge of Lunch Duty sanity? I shall tell you.
It should never have happened. Yogurt. In a bendable, breakable, spewable, squirtable, gushable plastic enclosure. Yogurt should be in a cup, plastic and disposable. Sturdy in the event of an 'oops' or 'splat.' Instead, somewhere in a laboratory deep in that mystical, mythical land of "WHAT IN THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?!?" there was a day when some nimrod inventor, in his own personal "Ah Ha! moment came up with the OH so clever notion of putting a squishy food in a little plastic sleeve. Toddlers and other unsuspecting youngsters in their formative years of acquiring table manners, could now on a whim push, slosh and spew Go-Gurt in projectile fashion onto their faces, faces of friends and every other surrounding surface for a 4 square mile radius.
Should the young tots chubby little stubbs, one day to evolve into dextrous digits known as fingers not be able to "Tear here -->", our young problem-solvers move to option number two: gnawing the little plastic sleeve until the Gurt within goes...EVERYWHERE!! Usually at some point midst gnaw, the little plastic sleeve RIPS open top to bottom, with 'Very Berry' Go-Gurt gushing onto walls, dashboards, freshly pressed dress shirts, Grandmother's custom draperies, the Kindergarten teacher's khakis....well, you get the picture.
Go-Gurt. Yogurt on the GO! Woo-Hoo! Destined to be found the most ill-conceived food packaging choice in the history of lunch boxes, viciously targeting the table manners of our nation's youth and their well intentioned OCD care-givers. These oozing squeezers of yogurt on the go will surely be the tipping point of more than one well-intentioned teacher of our young into early retirement, but this is just one opinion, from one Kindergarten teacher. I'm sure there are many Kindergarten teachers and other caring adults out there who just LOVE Go-Gurt! Of course, they are either dead, retired, or today is NOT their day on Kindergarten Lunch Duty!

Going to the Chapel, and it's time to get married!
Well, I am just giddy with excitement! In just a couple of weeks, the 2012 Wedding Season at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas will be off and running! Might I also add, IT'S ABOUT TIME, FOLKS!!
Apparently, those pondering a forever of togetherness, have been taking the route of shackin' up and "living in sin" more here in recent days. The "I Do's" have been few and far between over the past year, and I'm pretty sure the Lord is ready for some of those young whipper-snappers to get their well-heeled duffs out of 'Shackin' up' mode and into 'To Have and to Hold' mode! I'm just sayin'...
Finally, the long awaited monogrammed shrimp forks have made it onto the gift registry, and the seamstress for the bridesmaids dresses will finally get the last word on color choice: Blush or Bashful. I for one am READY to hear some of those regal organ standards that make my eyes all misty, and furl a lovely bride's gown and veil 'just so' as she heads down the aisle for her big moment!
This begins my sixth year serving as Wedding Coordinator at Oak Lawn UMC, and the tales that are being chronicled for my "book" have spanned the range from "You HAVE to be kidding me?!" to "I can't even BEGIN to make this stuff up!"
Over the years, as the notches on my Wedding Coordinator Cummerbund have grown in number, I have gathered a few nuggets of wisdom and pearls of matrimonial caution that I would like to share with you, should YOU be the one left to ponder the consequences of forgetting to pick up the Mother of the Bride from the hotel, and no one realizing it until time to escort her down the aisle. True story. One of many. Crazy. Bizarre. I can't make them up...
#1. Double check that the Mother of the Bride is actually at the church before signaling to the organist to begin the music to seat the parents. It makes for some long organ loops otherwise...
#2. Do not show up to the Wedding Rehearsal drunk. When the flower girl and the Wedding Coordinator are the only ones not reeking of Jack Daniel's, it does not bode well for a productive evening.
#3. Florists who send extra corsages and boutonnieres are given bonus points and preferential treatment. Inevitably too few are delivered, and semi-inebriated groomsmen tend to encounter boutonniere breakage. Shocker! In a pinch, I have crafted stunning corsages out of band-aides, duct tape, and freshly plucked boutonnieres from lapels of ushers for Mothers, step-mothers, jilted biological father's girlfriends, and unexpected step-grandmothers just back from the defibrillator. I've even grabbed a handful of petals from the flower girls basket and transformed it into a lapel flower for a Father of the Bride in the time it took the flower girl to make it down the aisle. All in a days work.
#4. It helps to know how to tap-dance...just in case. Should by chance, your Pastor happens to be caught in "traffic" somewhere between home and the church, and you find this out 7 minutes before the wedding is scheduled to begin, it isn't always in the Wedding Coordinator's best interest to suggest the Pastor had left home in a more timely manner to avoid this catastrophe in timing. The risk that this thoughtful suggestion will not be taken in the helpful way it was intended, COULD cause the Pastor to HANG UP THE PHONE on the Wedding Coordinator 6 minutes before scheduled ceremony time. At this point, the over wrought Wedding Coordinator is left to wonder if the Pastor is two blocks or two miles from the church? Not a pretty situation to be in...not a pretty situation at all!! Tap dancing to ensue...
#5. Strangers will occasionally wander into your perfect storybook wedding. Take for example one Homeless gent that came into the foyer of the church just as I was about to send one Bride down the aisle...here's the winner of the "I can't make this stuff up!" Read on...
It is a standard occurrence for guests to arrive and wander into the church even when the couple is exiting the sanctuary, freshly married! One wedding, just as the music was about to change for the Bride's entry, that familiar "CREAK!!" of the old foyer doors opening had me beginning to mumble under my breath at the late arrivers. Instead, I turn around and am caught in midst chastise to find a homeless man with a most surprised look on his face, seeing a Bride and her father ready to head down the aisle. In horror, I leap over the Bride's train and inform the gentleman, pleasant smile on my face, that we are having a wedding and I am just about to send a beautiful bride down the aisle! If he wouldn't mind, please wait RIGHT HERE and I will be back to assist him in just a few moments.
Fervent prayers are silently being HURLED (by me!) heavenward that this gentleman is not out of his ever loving gourd, or crazy as a bessie-bug..or both! Lord, let him stay put and not wander in the sanctuary on the other side where it was unattended! Lord, let me stay calm! Lord? Did that man's tee-shirt SAY WHAT I THINK IT SAID?!? Yes, it did. The man that was standing two feet behind this bride about to walk down the aisle, was wearing a tee-shirt that said the following, and I quote: 'ANATOMY OF A PERVERT.'
There was an illustration on the tee-shirt that wish I had been able to study that I assume was the answer to the age old question of exactly what 'ANATOMY OF A PERVERT' looks like. After getting the bride ushered down the aisle, I rushed back to the foyer to find my unexpected wedding guest had disappeared. After watching with a smile on his face as our bride entered the sanctuary to be married, with the thundering organ music as a backdrop, he apparently wandered on his way. I always thought this could have been an "Angel unaware" and I was thankful to have been cordial and not pop a gasket as I was inclined at that particular moment. I wondered if that could have been Jesus peeking in the foyer door. I thought Jesus might have chosen a different tee-shirt for the evening... Just as the Bride was going down the aisle, she asked me who the man at the door was, I replied, "Oh, him? He drops by for all our weddings!"

Dear community Happy New Year .listen I have a Apple Iphone 4s:I have had this as a gift since may 2012.Its good,but my daughter and about 10 other people I know are having problems with their wall chargers in home and maybe even mobile im not sure.I especially take great care in disconnecting my device and removing the cord when not in use. the wear and tear cannot be that often to cause this damage we are all having !The cord on the charger is unravelling from the base where the apple iphone is attached when or while charging. I have use the cord in very bad conditions because #one I cannot afford to replace this item at the OFFICIAL APPLE STORE so Im guessing people like myself is going to discount stores to make purchase of chargers they most likely not work! I have tried 3 and none work spending anywhere from $8.00-$15.00 dollars. Im also concern about the fact that a lot of CHILDREN who must most likely go un supervised on using this unravelled IPHONE CHARGER CORD when their parents maynot be aware. I not the voltage may not be of that large in which someone could cause shock or harm Im not certain of this either, However theres always a first Im asking can you either number one recall these chargers via Apple Corportation or two these cell phone companies who sell your product make them accountable for this .I learned today through Apple that the cell phone companies that sell Apple product use 3rd parties material to produce these mobile and home wall chargers and that they are not made by APPLE CORPORATION I WAS VERY UPSET TO KNOW THIS !I am asking you APPLE to look into this very important concern that not just me but other consumers may have before their is an injury. also if you sell a $500.00 product thats MADE IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY CERTAINLY YOU CAN INCLUDE A GENIUNE CHARGER WITH YOUR APPLE PRODUCT WHEN SOLD IN CELL PHONE COMPANIES STORES AND STRIP MALLS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND SURELY PEOPLE ARENT AWARE THAT THE REAL PRODUCT IS ONLY AT THE APPLE STORE EVEN IF THIS IS TRUE ! ps I called the apple store today to get a replacement they wanted to charge me would only offer me a $1.25 cent discount ! IST THIS WHAT APPLE PAY TO HAVE OTHER COUNTRIES MAKE THE IPHONE? THANKS APPLE FOR HEARING MY

Hi everyone,
I have just bought a LUPO 5 in 1 car kit (http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-Car-Ipods-Players-Transmitter/dp/B000S5L6ZU) which on ebay said it was for iPhone too.
The iPhone says charging is not supported with this accessory when I plug it in. Is this just the iPhone being picky and if so is there a way around it to get it to charge? It charges my iPod classic without any trouble.
Thanks in advance!

I have a Blue Ant headset that I got a few years back. I do not use it with my iPhone, but it came with a car cigarette lighter charger. One end goes into the lighter and the other end is a female USB input. I have the cable that came with my iPhone that goes from the iPhones bottom dock to a USB cable. Can I use it with my iPhone? Or do I need one that is specially designed for it? I do not want to ruin my iPhone obviously.

I have a Jabra Bluetooth which has a car charger with a USB connection. Its output is rated at 5VDC/750mA. Is this by any chance compatible with the iphone 3Gs? Will it damage the iphone if I try to charge with it?

Hi there,
Im looking for recommendations for a good car charger for my 3GS that also has an FM transmitter so I can listen to music in my car. Something that plugs into a cigarette lighter socket.
Thanks in advance

well my Griffin car charger has just stopped working with the 4G phone. Still works on my 3GS. The phone still charges with the wall plug that it came with. Anyone else hear of this weird one ?
Gateway Windows Vista Iphone 3G S, Ipad 3G 16G
I am having a strange problem with my 3GS. With the car charger plugged in and going down the road the phone will disconnect and instantly reconnect itself to the charger...thought it was the charger so tried another and the same thing. Does it when going downhill. Have determined that it does it no matter what unless I put it in airplane mode, then that solves the problem until I turn airplane mode off then it is right back to doing it again. Anyone else having this problem or know what to do to correct it?

I just recently purchased my iPhone 4. When I am trying to charge it using my Apple car charger and cable, I get that error message so many others are getting when trying to charge from their computer. I use an USB port from back of computer, so I dont have a problem that way.
My problem is with the car charger and cable. Error: The device is incompatible for charging.....or similar wording. This is terrible because the battery is used up so fast, I need to keep it charging while driving. Even if I buy the real expensive charger for $25, there are complaints about the same error.
Apple has got to be aware of this problem. Since my iPhone 4 is new, it doesnt appear to be any dust at the connection. For the money I paid, I am feeling really bad about this.
Thanks in advance.

Can I use the car charger for my 3gs that i bough in the att store on my iphone 4?

Im selling my iphone 3g. Will the car charger work with my iphone 4?
HP Windows XP iPhone 3G
Although the interface on my old iPod dock and the car charger seem to match, I am leery of using either with my new 3Gs. Any idea on whether these accessories will work or cause problems?
TIA for any info.
iPhone 3Gs iPhone OS 3.0.1
Dont seem to be able to find one of these, anyone know if there is such a thing and if so where to get it? If it charges the phone at the same time like the one that comes with the headset even better!
Thanks for any help.

I bought this car charger and it worked for months, and when I got back from a road trip I got the latest iPhone OS update and now the phone tells me that Charging is not supported with this accessory.
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.6.3)
I have a 3GS phone. Twice during the last week I have left the phone connected to my car charger over night. Both times when I went to use it I could not call, send message or get the net. The phone stated that it was connected to AT&Ts 3G network. I could also not receive messages or calls. The resolution was to do a power reset (power off/on). Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix?
The other question, is it okay to leave the iPhone on the car charger for an extended period of time?
MacBook Pro iPhone OS 3.0.1 iPhone 3GS
Heres the deal... obviously most newer car stereos have an aux input. And if not, almost all aftermarket radios do. What good is an UGLY suction cup mount with a seperate wire for power ? What good is a cigarette lighter mount with no power ? Why cant someone make a simple mount that plugs into the cigarette lighter and powers the phone while holding it in place ? THATS ALL ! A small wire could then connect the phone to the aux jack or even the cassette if you want to go back to the 90s. We all know FM transmitters SUCK, but they insist on only offering these things with the stupid transmitter on it ! Does anyone PLEASE have a link to a car mount for the iphone that plugs into the cigarette lighter, holds it there in a mount, and provides power ?!!!!!!!!!!
iPhone First Gen
I have and aftermarket input in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. It includes a 30-pin connector which provides the line level input and a charging to an ipod. I have been using just fine with my 2nd gen ipod and wifes 2g iPod Touch with no problem. I just bought a new iPhone 4 last week and plug it in and get the message this accessory is not optimized for this device charging is not supported. Is this just a software block or is the power requirements that much different with the iPhone. The input works and the iPhone even respond to a pause signal when I shut off the car (input device pauses your ipod when you shut off the car), but no charging. I hate to think I have to shell out another $50-60 for a new input for my car. Any thoughts?
I cant remember the name of the input device. I think it might be PIE.
iPhone 4 iOS 4
I have a blue tooth that I keep in the car and I also bought a car charger.
Unfortunately, I cant recharge my bluetooth in the car.
Does anyone know of an attachment that will make it possible for me charge it.
Iphone Windows XP Pro
how can i fix my iphone 3g if and only it displays the apple logo when it is connected to its charger but it displays nothing when the charger is removed?
Hello All - my iphone 4s beeps continuously (when on regular sound mode; vibrates repeatedly when on vibrate mode) when it is connected to my car USB via the cable it came with (and another which I tried). Why does it? How can I get it to stop. It may be important to know that the battery was nearly dead when I plugged it in.
Quick question: I bought the XtremeMac Car charger from the Apple Store a while back for my original iPhone. I just got a 3G... It is still compatible right? Same voltage and all correct?
Sony Vaio VGC-RB30 + Toshiba Satellite U300 Windows Vista
Hi there,
if my battery on the Iphone goes into the red and less than 20% percent capacity, it will no longer run/intake power off the juice of a car charger. The car charger is NOT an apple brand.
Is there some sort of setting I can change on my phone so it will take the AC power from the car power jack?

Electricity and its uses much match. We must start thinking of uses for uncontrollable electricity that capture the value as provided.
Yes, Electric current is a marvelous thing and convenience. But it is not the only useful form of energy.
Since the beginning of humanity we have been inventing levers, wheels, rotating shafts, pumps and millions of other technologies that leverage the physical ability of mankind. Since microcircuits, we have been continuing to leverage the value of thinking. But the key word is that we can only leverage that which we are cognizant of.
Many circumstances limit that thread of cognitive analysis to one problem, for one task or immediately related tasks. This is the sin. (miss). Every task accomplished set in motion another set of impacts. Electric current is considered a product or commodity. This is very mis leading. It is not. The product is the result or accomplishment we achieved using electricity. This product might be safe drinking water, refrigerated food delivered to you neighborhood outlet or market, aluminium met and derived products, water pumped through your irrigation system and deliver to the crops, motive power and on and one.
By matching the time that work is performed, to the availability of electricity when nature creates it. we can perform tremendous things with zero carbon impact Electricity storage is nearly insignificant compared to the value achievable through matching natures uncontrollable generation with production of products that can be easily stored.

Balagula Theatre features story of "Mrs. Klein"
Melanie Klein was a brilliant and unorthodox woman who came to Britain from Berlin to extend her brand of psychoanalysis to young children. A new production, opening Sunday October 21 at Lexington's Balagula Theatre, portrays a slice of her life in 1934.
John Hingsbergen spoke with the co-managing directors of the Theatre, Ryan Case and Natasha Williams. Natasha plays the title character, "Mrs. Klein."
"Mrs. Klein" opens a run of four shows Sunday night at the Balagula Theatre in Downtown Lexington. Tickets and information can be found at Balagula dot com.

Our dog Ada has been taken hostage by "Japanese track and field activists". More information as the story develops.
Like in many countries, post offices are multi-purpose institutions. You can, of course, buy stamps and send packages, but you can also sign up for insurance, wire money or withdraw money from the ATM.
The nice thing about most of these ATMs is that they accept foreign ATM cards, unlike most ATM machines in Japan, so I use them from time to time as an easy way to bring money into the country.
A few weeks ago, I heard the distinctive sound of a shredder running while I was using the ATM in Ochanomizu. I looked around and saw a woman feeding her ATM receipt into a little shredder next to the ATMs.
It's a great idea. Especially since the ATMs here don't let you skip printing out the receipt. I'd love to see something like this at American banks.
An article over at kuro5hin led me to this blog entry about a researcher's work on extracting video from cat brains.
The study, from 1999, couldn't have been much fun for the cats (the description of the preparation process in the paper is remarkably gruesome, even under all of the medical jargon), but the results are pretty cool. They played video in front of the cats, then tried to extract the resulting images from the cats' brains.
The image below shows, side-by-side, what was displayed in the video and what they were able to extract from the cat brains. Pretty cool stuff, especially when you realize that the neurons they pulled these images from could, with the proper stimulation, be used to input imagery directly into the brain as well.
It's weird, I have no interest in Lasik surgery, but I think I'd be one of the first in line for a cranial IO jack.
When you dipose of bulky garbage in Japan, you can't just throw it in the trash. You have to pay someone to come and haul it away. This is in stark contrast to New York, where you can leave bulky trash (say, your car) on the street and come back only minutes later to find that someone has taken it away for you, free of charge.
One of the nice things about our apartment complex is they have a regular bulky-trash-hauling-away service. So, instead of calling someone up, you can leave your items in the garbage room, attach a note with your name and apartment number and they'll come by, collect the money (500-1000 Yen, about $5-10) and haul away your garbage.
Having just bought a used microwave and vacuum cleaner from a friend, we needed to dispose of our current ones. Yukari attached a note with our name and apartment number, but as I was getting ready to take them downstairs, I realized this would be a perfect chance to test the famed Japanese honest streak.
So, I went and found some scotch tape, taped 500 yen to the vacuum cleaner and the microwave and waited to see what would happen. To my mild disappointment, no one took the bait. The garbage guy came up, told me had taken the 1000 yen off of the vacuum and microwave and that I owed him another 400 yen between the two. I guess there really is something to this...
This picture was taken from the Ochanomizu Bridge. I'm in the Ochanomizu neighborhood pretty frequently. My cello lesson is here and a favorite restaurant is down the street.
I had taken my camera with me to take some pictures of the restaurant for an upcoming Fugu Diaries entry. On my way back towards the subway, I saw the bridge lit up and reflected in the river below.
I like how the people on the train platform look almost ethereal, since it was so much brighter over there.
Japan is littered with little police boxes or koban like this one. Typically they are staffed by one or two police officers who give directions, yell at kids and stare at posters of all the sarin gas bombers that they still haven't caught.
This koban is located across the street from the Red Cross Hospital in Hiroo. I rarely see a policeman in there, even during the day. It does, however, have a haiteku koban (High Tech Koban) computer kiosk inside. Maybe the friendly neighborhood beat cop has been replaced by a machine?
One of the selling points for Yukari and me about moving to Tokyo was the broad availability of cheap fiber to the home (FTTH). Or maybe that was just one of the selling points for me.
We live near the center of Tokyo, which should be fiber ground zero, but, thanks to the foot-dragging of the local condominium authorities, it's been almost 2 years and I'm still limping along on DSL.
All of that is about to change. This is a picture of the NTT guys pulling from a gigantic spool of fiber. They are installing the infrastructure all this week and will supposedly be rolling out service to customers at the end of this month.
I'd gotten wind of this earlier (in fact, I've already applied for service), so when I saw guys with NTT helmets and cable spools, I immediately cornered one of them and asked them if they were laying fiber for FTTH. When he said yes, I told him that I had been waiting two years for this. He nodded and made reassuring noises, all the while thinking to himself henna gaijin: weird foreigner.
Who cares! 100 megabit per second of pure bandwidth goodness will soon be mine. Joy!
I'm proud to announce the launch of Fugu Diaries!
The site will be a collection of longer articles about eating in Japan. The opening article is about Ginjou Kura 72. This tiny sake bar was created by the Kurihara-san, owner of a respected sake store in Tokyo and all-around sake evangelist. They offer 72 different kinds of sake, plus special offerings that change on a week-by-week basis.
Kura 72 is only open this summer, though, so if you want to try it out, you have to hurry!
More here.
PS - Many thanks to Ted Warin and Jen Draper for the original impetus, Andy O'Donnell for the wonderful logo and Marc Phu for his awesome design.
What would we do without it?
Amanpuri, our resort in Phuket, offers afternoon tea. In addition to hot and cold teas (including a knock-em-dead ginger/lemongrass iced tea), they have fruit, cakes and little Thai griddlecakes.
The griddlecakes are about the size of a half dollar and made with a coconut batter in a takoyaki-esque pan. They offered them with a few different toppings. Green onion was my favorite. It was the perfect blend of savory and sweet.
OK, so maybe I should have learned something from my other monk picture, but I think if you're a Buddhist monk walking around Angkor Wat in Cambodia, you're just asking for your picture to be taken.
Water buffalos, elephants and frogs!
(oh my)
While in Chiang Mai, we went to an elephant camp to watch and ride elephants. Supposedly, the elephants in the camp were all put out of work by a Thai ban on logging. Unable to work for their food, they were abandoned by their erstwhile owners and left to panhandle on the streets of Chiang Mai. Enter the elephant camps: instead of harassing tourists (hey buddy, can you spare some hay?) the elephants were put to work entertaining them. Whether this story is true or not, the elephants did seem well taken care of and content with their lot.
The elephant species, however, must have an incredible PR department. We've all been sold on them as intelligent, gentle beasts. What we're not told is that they are also single-minded eating and pooping machines. They consume over 250kg of food a day. To shovel this food into their elephantine gullets, they use their famous trunks.
The trunks are strong, "an elephant's hand", incredibly versatile, blah blah blah. Despite all this, though, a trunk is still a nose. Which means that when an elephant comes after that bunch of bananas in your hand with his trunk, he leaves your hand a snotty mess.
Both our guide and the signs around the camp warned against feeding the elephant a banana at a time. Apprently the elephants "lose patience" if they aren't fed at least half a bunch of bananas at once. Even the baby elephant that Yukari fed wasn't interested unless it could have the entire bunch. I wasn't sure what an elephant does when it loses patience, but I was very sure that I didn't want to find out.
An animal that eats 250kg of food every day produces an incredible volume of poop. Elephant poop, as was demonstrated to us repeatedly during our ride, is ejected in bowling ball sized clumps. Not content to just poop while on the trail, our elephant displayed his amphibious nature by also pooping in the river. He was even able to poop while eating -- I suspect this is the Mount Everest of elephant digestive feats.
Based on these experiences, I recommend observing the following three rules whenever you interact with elephants:
Best of luck.
Yesterday morning, I heard Yukari open the door to our hotel room and step outside onto the veranda. Then I heard the "surprised noise" -- a noise usually reserved for when there's a spider on the toilet or something.
Instead of a spider on the toilet, there was a buffalo in the yard. The yard, in this case, was the working rice paddy that our hotel is built around. The buffalo was just sitting there, chewing some grass that it had been given by one of its keepers.
Later, we saw what we think is the same buffalo making its way through the resort. Maybe to the buffalo garage for a tuneup. I guess if buffalo burgers show up on the menu soon, we'll know what really happened.
Engrish, unintentionally funny English, is the bread and butter of any expat blogger living on the other side of the Pacific Rim. Without it, I'd have to come up with vaguely entertaining anecdotes or thoughtful opinions.
Instead, I can just throw up this picture from the markets at Chiang Mai and call it a day. Thank you, Engrish!

Cancer and Physical Sciences
View Publications Listing
Cancer-Focused Research:
Dr. Mazar's research has focused on the role of the plasminogen activator system in tumor progression with a specific focus on the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). Dr. Mazar's group has elucidated a number of uPAR's structure-function relationships involved in tumor progression and has designed several therapeutics targeting these interactions. One of these, a humanized monoclonal antibody called ATN-658, is now being developed for the clinic in collaboration with the NCI NExT program. A second uPA targeting antibody, ATN-291, that is internalized via endocytosis by tumor cells is being evaluated for targeting cytotoxics and imaging agents to tumors. In collaboration with investigators at the University of Texas, Dr. Mazar also recently received support from the NHLBI SMARTT program for IND-enabling studies of the proenzyme form of urokinase for the treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusions. Dr. Mazar also has extensive expertise in oncology drug development and collaborates with numerous groups within the Cancer Center and at other academic institutions as well as with industry on the discovery and early development of novel cancer therapeutics.

The key driver of economic development in the world today is human capital. In a "flat" world where production can be shipped almost anywhere, education is the factor that gives one geographic area a long-term advantage over another. The availability of a well-educated work force is the reason technology companies still congregate in places such as Massachusetts and California, states whose tax rates and high cost of living would otherwise make them uncompetitive.
Yet in a time when developing human capital is critical, Michigan has turned its back on higher education. The Legislature cut state support for higher education by nearly 50 percent, about $1 billion, between 2001 and 2011. Several years ago we gained the dubious distinction of being one of the few states that spends more money on prisons than universities — 76 percent more this year.
The result has been spiraling tuition rates that make it increasingly difficult for Michigan residents to afford the education they need to compete in the modern economy.
Reversing that trend was the subject of a conference ... sponsored by Business Leaders of Michigan.
Several speakers drew contrasts between Michigan and North Carolina, a state with comparable demographics and economics.
While Michigan spends $1.1 billion a year on public universities, North Carolina provides $2.5 billion. Grand Valley State University President Thomas Haas noted that his school is getting $2,365 per student in state funding this year, while the University of North Carolina gets $11,000.
Not surprisingly, a public university education in North Carolina is a whole lot more affordable than it is in Michigan.

Ok so i just switched to digital, got the email, and signed up and I have no idea how to view the magazine, I have clicked read the current issue and that is not working... am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong?
It sometimes takes up to a day before you can access your magazine.
I did this months ago and still can't access the magazine. Every time I try I get asked to buy another subscription.
Pretty much the same. The site is a steaming pile of confusing crap.
Make it simple.
I know the feeling. I am getting really angry now. I just got another subscription and it still asks me to purchase it again. I can't even read my frickin magazines.

Johnson City police announced Monday the recent arrests of a city couple on accusations that they embezzled nearly $5,000 from a local business.
Tammy Johnson, 43, and Dwayne Johnson, 41, both of 813 North Hills Drive, were arrested Wednesday after police investigated a local businessman's claim that they had embezzled money from his business, police said in a news release.
According to the police report, officers responded to Free Service Tire, 2006 N. Roan St., on March 7 and met with David Adams, 44, who informed officers of the alleged embezzlement.
The Johnsons had been employees of Free Service Tire.
Adams reportedly told officers Tammy Johnson had taken $754.07 in cash from a customer for a set of tires — an amount he said had been taken from the register. He also found several rebate receipts had been created in Mrs. Johnson's name, police said.
Police said Dwayne Johnson had received $3,895 in checks from customers for work after they had been given estimates from Free Service Tire. Mr. Johnson reportedly completed the work but never gave the proceeds to Free Service Tire.
Tammy Johnson was charged with one count of theft of property over $500 and one count of criminal simulation. Dwayne Johnson was charged with one count of theft of property over $1,000.
Both were released Wednesday from the Washington County Detention Center on their own recognizance pending Sessions Court appearances April 17.
The Johnsons own Johnson's Auto Repair and Detailing, 1012 E. Unaka Ave. The business remained open Monday.

USI Distance Learning offers courses and programs via technology such as Internet, Blackboard, CD-ROM, videoconferencing, videotape, or other digital media. These technologies allow students to enroll in courses that better fit their time or travel needs. The type of course and the needs of the students usually determine the delivery method or combination of methods by which a course is available to students.
For further information contact a Distance Learning Coordinator at the DE Learning Center.
USI Distance Learning Courses
USI-originated distance learning courses are taught by USI faculty. These courses are designated with a section number that starts with 'N' in the class list. As with on-campus courses, pre-requisites or placement tests may be required. In addition, you will not be able to register until all holds are cleared.
To locate the current USI Distance Learning course offerings, search the class list through myUSI or visit www.usi.edu/distance/programs.
Distance Learning Course Registration
Students self-register for USI distance learning courses through myUSI the same way they register for traditional courses. USI students DO NOT register through the ICN for courses that originate at USI.
Distance Learning Schedule Revision (Drop)
Distance learning students who are unable to visit campus to obtain the required signatures in person may use the Distance Education Drop form to drop part of their schedule. Carefully follow all instructions on the form. If a student is dropping all courses for the semester/term, a Withdrawal From All Classes form is required. The student's signature is required, as well as the signature of the Academic Dean of the student's major (or their designee). Students may submit the completed withdraw form in person at the Registrar's Office, or fax to 812-464-1911 or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Non-USI Distance Learning Courses (ICN)
If you have looked through USI's listing of distance learning courses and cannot find what you need, then courses offered via the Indiana College Network (ICN) might be beneficial to you.
Because registration for Indiana College Network (ICN) courses requires coordination between multiple campuses, the process can take up to six weeks. PLAN AHEAD! Academic advisor approval is required before your registration is processed. As with on-campus courses, pre-requisites or placement tests may be required. You will not be able to register until all holds are cleared.
Visit the ICN website to locate Distance Learning courses and programs across Indiana.
ICN Course Registration
Before registration can occur, students must create an account and complete the ICN pre-registration form. Once the course is confirmed through ICN, the student will register for the course through the drop/add function of myUSI by using a special CRN. When the course has successfully been added through myUSI, the Originating Institution will register the student in their course and notify the student of acceptance. Payment will be required once the course has been added to the student's USI schedule. The course will become part of the student's academic record at USI.
ICN Schedule Revision (Drop)
Students MUST fill out an ICN drop/withdrawal form before the course can be dropped. ICN courses may not be dropped through myUSI. ICN will notify the USI Distance Learning Office that the student has requested to drop the course. The USI Distance Learning Office will forward the information to the Originating Institution. Once the drop has been approved by the Originating Institution, the USI Registrar's Office will remove the course from the student's schedule. Until all steps in the procedure have been completed, the student remains enrolled in their courses. Refunds are issued according to the USI academic calendar.
Note: Lack of participation in a non-USI course does NOT mean an automatic withdrawal. If the appropriate drop/withdrawal paperwork is not processed, students will receive an F in the course, and this grade will appear on their USI records.
More information about distance learning is available at www.usi.edu/distance.

LONDON (TrustLaw) - "I would never have thought, being a British born and bred subject… that I would one day (as a teenager)… be told I would be going abroad under the guise of a family holiday and be forced into a marriage to a boy who was a child himself."
These words came from a young woman who spoke this week at the launch of a report by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Population, Development and Reproductive Health (APPG) on the global scourge of child marriage.
Eventually, she was saved by the intervention of a male relative but said that "the years that followed only brought further pain and anguish while I tried to rebuild my relationship with my family and tried to live a more positive…life."
After a hearing this summer, with testimony from child marriage victims in the UK and national and global non-governmental organisations, the cross-party group has urged the government to act more decisively, both in Britain and abroad, to stop child marriage, a practice that affects 10 million girls around the world every year.
The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) said last month that on present trends, more than 14 million girls a year could be victims of child marriage in the decade to 2020.
Among its recommendations, the parliamentary group called for a rise in the legal age of marriage to 18 across the UK.
"In this country … we allow people to be married from the age of 16 provide that parents give consent," said Baroness Jenny Tonge, who chairs the group. "Now we have to try and change this because of course the parents give consent when there is an arranged marriage, maybe for money."
The group also called on the government to legislate for the compulsory registration of religious marriages.
The report said that Britain's official attitude to child and forced marriage has focused on cases where girls are taken abroad to be married, but that many children are married in the UK in religious ceremonies and such unions do not have to be registered.
It has proved very hard to discover the exact number of children being forced into marriage in Britain but there is "increasing evidence of child marriage happening in the UK and in other developed countries," the report said.
The government estimates that there are at least 8,000 forced marriages or threats of forced marriage per year in Britain.
"Child marriage is usually forced marriage, although…some may want to marry the partner of their parents' or their own choice," Tonge wrote in the foreword to the report.
Nearly 30 percent of calls received this year by the helpline of the UK Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) – a body established by the government in 2002 to support victims of forced marriage – involved minors, and 14 percent concerned children younger than 15, the youngest being 5 years old, the report said.
Raising awareness of child marriage across the board – in the police, among teachers and health workers as well as in government institutions – is paramount to tackling the problem, Tonge said.
"We have got to enforce, we have got to make sure that teachers and health professionals and the police know that this is going on, and that the border agency knows that this is going on and they look out - particularly in the school holidays."
The report also recommended implementing the statutory guidance on forced marriage, after evidence showed professionals hesitated to tackle cases of child marriage due to fears of appearing racist because they would be challenging religious practices.
The UK government has announced plans to make forced marriage a criminal, rather than a civil, offence by next year. This would help authorities' efforts to end child marriage because many child marriages are forced marriages.
"What we really need is some prosecutions, because once we've had some high profile prosecutions then people get a bit wary of doing it," Tonge said.

Reports of high water flood in following days of rain
Persistent rain didn't let up for much of Wednesday, and several roads, creeks and neighborhoods — already saturated by recent summer storms — flooded throughout the afternoon.
Scott Morrill, of the 3400 block of Windmere Drive, said he's only seen the creek in his lawn overflow twice in the last decade. The water spilled into his backyard, reaching his concrete driveway, and pulled debris from nearby houses.
Sanford Police Department Telecommunicator Jimmy Williams said authorities had received several calls about high water in the "usual places" by Wednesday afternoon.
The Riverbirch Shopping Center, Rose and Fifth streets, South Horner Boulevard near Taco Bell, and Hickory House Road were all mentioned in calls about high water, Williams said.
A Lee County Sheriff's Office dispatcher said the office hadn't received many calls about standing water within the county.
Lee County Deputy Fire Marshall Bill Rogers said he'd heard of no reports of property damage from the rain.
"The last (weather) report I got said it should be clearing up (today)," Rogers said. "It's supposed to be dryer this weekend, so maybe we'll get rid of some of this water."

The motility of intracellular bacterial pathogens such as \textit{Listeria monocytogenes} is driven by filamentous actin comet tails in a variety of trajectories. Here, we present the \textit{in vitro} study on the actin-based movements using spherical beads of different sizes coated with VCA protein, a partial domain of N-Wasp, in platelet extracts. Long term two-dimensional trajectories of the spherical beads motility show characteristic difference than those observed for bacteria, which have both elongated shape and asymmetric expression of the polymerization inducing enzyme. The trajectories also vary sensitively with the bead size and shape. These results provide a useful test to our new analytical model including the rotation of the bead relative to the tail.

ICBA Cautions Policymakers on New Burdensome Conditions for Community Bank TARP Participants
Community Banks Essential to Nation's Economic Recovery
Washington, D.C. (March 4, 2009)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) today urged policymakers not to add any new burdensome conditions to the Troubled Asset Relief Program's (TARP) Capital Purchase Program (CPP) that would hinder community banks' ability to participate in the program and our nation's economic recovery.
"Community banks interested in the program view the government's investment through the CPP as a public-private partnership to promote lending and stimulate the economy. Many community bankers across our country see the program as an opportunity to encourage and support economic expansion in the cities and towns they serve," said C.R. "Rusty" Cloutier, former chairman of ICBA and president and CEO of MidSouth Bank, Lafayette, LA, in his testimony to the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credits.
Because the nation's more than 8,000 community banks are common-sense lenders that did not engage in risky practices that led to the economic crisis, the vast majority remain well capitalized and ready to help in economic recovery efforts. Cloutier went on to say that MidSouth Bank, which received a CPP capital infusion in January, has already made approximately $13 million in new consumer and commercial loans. He said they are especially focused on making loans to small businesses because they drive the economy and create new jobs. "MidSouth Bank has demonstrated that community banks have the know-how and desire to use the CPP to support economic recovery in their communities," Cloutier said.
Cloutier said that if the government adds new burdensome conditions to the original agreement under which MidSouth received the CPP funds, they will have to reevaluate continuing to participate in the CPP. "It would be a shame if new conditions forced us to withdraw from the program," said Cloutier. "MidSouth has taken the purpose of the CPP seriously by marketing the credit opportunities afforded by the Treasury's investment in the bank. Policymakers should not be discouraging participation of more community banks like MidSouth that are willing and ready to be active leaders in our nation's economic recovery."
ICBA was pleased that House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank's (D-Mass.) idea to allow TARP participants to repay TARP funds early, without penalty, was included in the economic recovery bill passed last month, because any new, burdensome conditions could determine whether a community bank participant decides to return the money to Treasury. ICBA looks forward to working with Congress on this critical program and other steps to help America's communities emerge from this economic crisis and improve the efficiency and structure of our nation's financial system.

- The Hindu Buddha according to the theology of the Bengali Vaishnava Acharya Bhaktivedanta Swami (1999)
- In the broad Indian religious culture we find two basic concepts of the inner structure of the Holy. The Advaita religion believes in the 'not-two' will say absolute 'oneness' of the ultimate reality. The Dvaita religion yet believes in 'two' will say the dual structure of the whole. Nevertheless, the latter one is no radical dualism because it recognises nothing to be outside the last reality. It is a kind of 'dualist monism' and insofar fundamentally different to West Asian and European moderate or radical dualism. The Dvaita religion experiences the inner structure of the Holy as everlasting dynamic relation of the whole and its parts. As a rule, the representation of the whole is the personal God, mostly called Bhagavan. The representations of the parts are the soul or jivas. Mostly following the idea the whole being a personal God the Dvaita religion is something like theism; yet, it is an Indian or Hindu theism teaching that the Godhead comprises within herself souls and matter, too. By the way, many of the jivas aren't conscious of their role within the Holy. They erroneously take themselves for empty monads and believe that they would get their realisation only by implementing themselves with 'matter'. Experiencing in this concern the uselessness of matter, the maya energy of the Godhead, they can get the true consciousness of their role as divine co-players in the inner divine play or lila. ...
- The presence of the Holy in the Lilanukarana (2001)
- The people of Braj1 are attracted by the Holy in many ways. But nowhere is its attraction per-ceived as strongly as in the public performances of the lilas of Krisna – the lilanukaranas. Although by their aesthetic constitution these dramatic performances are a mixture of song, theater and dance, they do not belong to the genre of folkloric entertainment, for in their very essence they are revelations of the Holy. Thus in Braj the Holy is not at all considered a nirguna entity concealing itself from the world. On the contrary, it reveals itself plainly and unmistakably. This revelation is fully authentic because in its essence the Holy is saguna, i.e. possessed of form. This, however, further means that the lilanukarana do not present something mundane as sacred, nor do they present a 'substitute religion' – for they offer the experience of the Holy moving among and with the lilanukarana, as their equal, freely and naturally, without fear of touch by the creature. And this unconcern for possible worldly contamination allows the Brajbasis to meet the Holy without fear, and in intimate friendship.
- The privileged religion of Saint Francis of Assisi (1998)
- The popularity of St. Francis (1182/3-1226) in our days is overwhelming. He has become a modern hero - not only of Catholics but also of Protestants, non-Christians and even atheists. Nevertheless, the question may be raised whether the modern portrayals of St. Francis do justice to the historical person. In order to get a more solid answer we will analyze various documents which were ap-proximately known to and approved by St. Francis himself, particularly his Tes-timony, his Song of Brother Sun, the Unapproved Rule, the Approved Rule, the Admonitions, and the Letter to the Faithful Ones I.[1] We will not even use the legendary reports of his disciples. From the very beginning the devotees of St. Francis made of him a typical convert. This biographic mutilation has remained en vogue until today.[2] - In his Testimony he tells his real story in a few brief words: "While I was in sins it appeared to me extremely bitter to look at the lep-ers. And the Lord himself brought me among them and I gave alms to them. When I was leaving them that what appeared bitter to me was to me exchanged for (converted into) sweetness of the soul and the body. And afterwards I stopped for a moment and then I left the world."[3] Therefore, his life can be divided into three periods: 1) the life in 'sin' or the 'world'; 2) the short period of the conversion, of a short stopping and of the leaving the 'world'; and 3) his exis-tence outside the 'world'. ...
- Free love and Bhakti : an inter-religious study on Martin Luther and Shri Krishna Caitanya (1998)
- Martin Luther (1483 - 1546) and Vishvambhara Mishra (1486 - 1533), known as Shri Krishna Caitanya, have been the outstanding representatives of the great west-eastern religious revolution which shattered the hearts of their societies in the 16th century. They were the spiritual revolutionaries of the modern times. The question may very well be raised if and how these two religious reformers on the edge of modern age share theological commonness, even though they lived wide apart and certainly did not know of each other. We will see: Both Martin Luther and Shri Krishna Caitanya have taught the un-conditioned, Free Love viz. Bhakti. Even if they did it in the tradition of the theological context they were born in they produced a new common setting of religion: the destruction of meritoricly bound religion and its substitution by free religion. The worship of God or charity were no more a mean for but the final state of salvation. Their interpretation of this revolutionary religion has lost nothing of its existen-tial meaning, even though having been twisted often enough to indiscernibility or even to the complete opposite - up to the present day. ...
- Ambedkar and the Hindu culture (1999)
- The Indian Neo Buddhism has aroused a movement since the 50s, which propa-gates Buddhism as the top form of the Indo-genous dharma. - The vast majority of that new religious movement belongs to the Dalits [1], people whose en-dogamous communities have been excluded from the varna system [2a] since centuries. The varna system is the traditional hierarchic structure of the relation-ships of those Indian communities who mutually acknowledge themselves as constituent members of their society. These varna jatis established a social class of people devoid of any basic social right. Declared as 'Untouchables' these peo-ple lost all human substance in the eyes of the varna jatis. Yet, that social degra-dation didn't primarily spring from racial, religious or even cultural reasons but from economic ones. When the old Indian agrarian production became a little more productive the division of labour was established as basic structure of the society; but in India the productivity remained on a low level during centuries so that the new non-productive jatis had to keep down the costs of the material pro-duction and the necessary services; they needed cheapest labour.
- Buddhism: an atheistic and anti-caste religion? : Modern ideology and historical reality of the ancient Indian Bauddha Dharma (2001)
- The historian has to safeguard the strangeness of the past. Therefore, religio-historical research has to scrutinise the reconstruction of the real history of religions by religious ideologies of the present. Very often religious ideologies fall back to the past in order to get an alleged legitimacy for their actual am-bitions; however, for that purpose they have to model or falsify the past according to their present ideo-logical needs. One of the outstanding examples of such an ideologisation of history of religion is the modern view of Buddhism. Developed by the Western colonialist Indology this ideology portrayed and still is portray-ing Buddhism as an rationalist-atheistic, anti-brahmanical, anti-caste and egalitarian religion - in con-trast to Hinduism which is caricatured as idolatrous, casteistic and brahmanised. The aim of such an ideological interpretation is to demonstrate the alleged Western modernity of Buddhism and the alleged obscurantism of Hinduism. The target of that ideological aggression was the Hinduism. In order to exploit the wealth of India the Western colonialists needed the weakening of the Hindu self-consciousness; therefore they favoured an Indology which produced an not existing Indian Buddhism as an alleged modern alternative to the alleged primitive religion of the 'Hindoos'. Playing the Buddhism against the 'Hindoos' the colonialist attempt to defame the vast majority of the Indian people was very successful. Even Indian religious intellectuals and leaders (i.e. the secularists or the Neo-Buddhists1) are sharing and supporting that colonialist view still today. We want to dispute these asserted positions by empirico-historical reasons. First we will discuss the early Buddhism, than Ashoka's reform program of the dharma and at last the historio-graphical dilemmata of scholars sharing the colonialist ideology of Buddhism. ....
- Unity of Buddhism and Hinduism : in experience and teachings of the Dalai Lama (2005)
- The Dalai Lama, in exile since 1959 in Hindu majority India, has continuously been taking a firm stand on giving importance to an inter-religious dialogue and interaction. He has made it absolutely clear that Buddhism represents just one of the many religious ways open for mankind. Nonetheless, he has always referred to the bond shared between Buddhism and Hinduism as a very special one and has experienced it as a religious tie. Both these religious streams belong to what is known as Bharatiya or Indo-genous Dharma. The Dalai Lama does not restrict his care for nurturing this common bond to a mere academic talk. In fact he has been taking active part in promoting this kind of inter-religious dialogue and has been showing a fiery political commitment as well. He thus took active part in the second World Hindu Congress organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad held in Prayag-Allahabad in the year 1979. According to official reports, the organizers in their welcome speech for the Dalai Lama were frank enough to admit that 2500 years ago, the Kashi Pandits (Kashi also known as Varanasi) had stopped Siddharta Gautama Buddha from entering the Vishwanath temple. It was also mentioned that for all these years, there has never been any letup in the conflict between Sanatani Hindus and Bauddhas, despite the fact that later on Shakya Muni was rewarded the status of avatara by Hindus. The fact that these very Kashi Pandits had invite one of the highest religious authorities of Buddhism - the Dalai Lama- to this congress should be seen as "a positive step towards reconciliation." The Dalai Lama was thus pleasantly surprised to see that the highest rung of the religious body of Hindus publicly acknowledged the divine status of Siddharta Gautama Buddha and recognized the presence of the Dalai Lama as a valuable contribution towards the reconciliation between the two religious streams. ...
- Charity in inter-religious perspective (2001)
- Charity has a long tradition in the Christian religion. From the early beginning there was some organized charity. In the Acts of the Apostles we read about socalled diakonoi being responsible for the needy Christians. During the whole church history there was the rule that 1/3 of the tithe, the decima pars, the religious tax, had to be spend for the poor people of a parish. Of course, there was much misuse of that portion; the tithe became private and the new owners of the tax mostly living far away were not interested in supporting the poor people. Yet, the Christian people organized additional charity. It is very important to see that religious mentality was very helpful for that ...
- Nammalvar, god's decoy : anthropocentric and theocentric soteriology in the Hindu religions of the Tamil Shrivaishnavas (2001)
- The basic argument the canonical and apocryphic theologies of the South Indian Tamil Shrivaishnavas grow worm over since centuries is the question: Has God set into motion the process of salvation in order to save mankind - the anthropocentric tradition is teaching -, or in order to save himself, the way a theocentric soteriology would teach. To answer this question we have to examine particularly the theocentric religion of salvation because it was held apocryphic by the anthropocentic orthodoxy and has therefore to be reconstructed from sources that are all concealed anthropocentrically. ...

For the second year in a row, Vermont's EB-5 center received the EB-5 Regional Center of the Year Award by the Artisan Business Group.
For those of you not hip to the lingo, EB-5 is the program that allows foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in approved U.S. business projects and create at least 10 jobs to receive a visa that allows them to live in the United States in return.
Vermont's is the only government-run regional center in the country, helping connect Vermont businesses with overseas investors.
The Artisan group noted that Vermont stands out with its governmental support, intensive application process and oversight, generating stronger than average projects as a result.
In a news release, Vermont Commerce Secretary Lawrence Miller said Vermont's goal with the program is to create jobs for Vermonters.
The Vermont EB-5 Regional Center was created in 1998 and is managed by the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development. Since 1998, more than $250 million has been invested in Vermont by EB-5 investors in companies that include Jay Peak Resort, Sugarbush Resort, Country Home Products and Seldon Technologies.
In 2011, state officials said, more than $100 million is estimated to have been invested in Vermont projects.
