Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner started speaking at 8:30 this morning regarding China, and it's need for a stronger currency.
Geithner said that China presents "enormous economic opportunities", but despite this, the Chinese currency "needs to strengthen". The obvious way to benefit from this is to buy WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fd ETF (NYSE: CYB).
(Is high frequency trading a target of hackers? To see this article by Roger Nachman, click here.)
Chinese policies have imposed costs on emerging economies, and allowing the country to continue its ways, could pose serious threats to the global economic recovery. China's principal economic challenges are "how to manage the next phase of development" from a developing country to an international player. As the country continues to grow, its population becomes wealthier and to continue this from receding, China will ultimately need to make significant changes to ensure its long-term prosperity.
"China still closely manages the level of its exchange rate and restricts the ability of capital to move in and out of the country," Geithner told an audience at Johns Hopkins University. "These policies have the effect of keeping the Chinese currency substantially undervalued."
China's growth was made possible by American leadership, and following many of our policies for capitalism that have allowed us to become the greatest economic superpower on the planet. Seeing as China owns gobs of our debt, we are mutually indebted to each other, both figuratively and literally.

"We are willing to make progress on these issues, but our ability to move on these issues will depend of course on how much progress we see from China," he said. If the Chinese government allows the yuan to rise further, then the global economy will continue to prosper, as exports from around the world will be more competitive with Chinese made goods.
Our exports to the Far East are growing, but not as fast they should, due to the yuan trading lower than it should. The yuan is "substantially undervalued", and by artificially maintaining an undervalued currency, it brings up inflation issues. Chinese inflation is soaring, while there is little to no inflation here in the U.S. If the yuan were allowed to float higher, this could offset some of the inflation concerns there, and give our economy the inflation is so badly desires and needs.

Medications to Deal with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or ADHD is a psychiatric disorder which is of the neuro developmental type. This disorder is mainly diagnosed in children and may continue till adulthood if it is not treated on time. ADHD is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity among children. Proper medications along with psychotherapy can help in treating the syndrome. Stimulant and non-stimulant pills are the best attention deficit hyperactivity pills to treat this malady. Medications often improve concentration and minimize impulsivity and hyperactivity in children. These medicines reduce aggression and render a calming effect. ADHD medicines should be selectively chosen depending upon the symptoms and extent of the syndrome.
Positive effects of stimulants and non-stimulants
ADHD pills render a calming effect on the nervous system and reduce impulsivity and hyperactivity in children. The positive effects of stimulants and non-stimulants are stated below:
- Stimulants help in increasing concentration levels and thereby improve the academic performance of children and teenagers.
- Stimulants regulate the sudden impulses and controls behavior and attention by influencing the availability of neurotransmitters in the brain.
- Stimulants also help in treating other mood disorders and depression often seen in ADHD patients.
- Stimulants regulate symptoms over the time.
- Non-stimulant pills increase the amount of norepinephrine which boosts attention span of children and lowers hyperactivity.
- Non-stimulants controls aggression and sleeplessness and do not pose any risk of addiction or abuse.
- They have long-lasting effects.
Composition of the best attention deficit hyperactivity disorder pills
Pills containing amphetamine are usually prescribed for children who are of 3 years of age or older. Some amphetamine pills are formulated as extended release which enables the drug to be released gradually. This enables only a controlled amount to enter the body. Pills with this composition are ideal for children of the age 6 years or older. Some medications are formulated in the long acting format which enables it to stay in the body for a longer time. Drugs containing amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are prescribed for children who are of 3 years of age or above. Methylphenidate, methamphetamine hydrochloride, dextoamphetamine, atomoxetine and lisdexamfetamine dimesylate in extended release or long acting versions make up the composition of ADHD pills. Non-stimulant drugs containing atomoxetine, extended release guanfacine and clonidine are best for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. Studies reveal that tricyclic and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs are helpful in treating this psychiatric disorder. Methylphenidate has been reigning among other pills in treating symptoms of ADHD and proven to be safe and effective. Methylphenidate has low and mild side effects and lowers the potential for abuse. Extended release or long-acting forms allow children to take the medicine once a day.
Over the counter treatment for ADHD
ADHD can be treated with some medicines available over the counter, such as tyrosine. Tyrosine is an amino acid which creates neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine which helps to control aggression in children diagnosed with ADHD.
To conclude
Various stimulants, non-stimulants along with psychotherapy help to cope with ADHD. Counseling of children, their parents and teachers help in the process of treatment along with the best medications.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Hunter Hayes may be a platinum-selling, arena-headlining, Grammy Award-nominated country star, but he has all the same questions about love as any other 22-year-old.
He jumps headfirst into those questions with the pull-at-your-heart-strings country pop songs on his new album "Storyline," which he calls his most honest work. "And you get this record that is very emotional, it's exciting," Hayes says. "It's nerve-wracking."
He shares his own personal journey from music geek to country star with his song "Invisible," an uplifting universal message about individuality and strength.
"My fans have given me a chance to make the music I have always made, but I've only made it by myself in my living room," Hayes said. "Now I have a place where I can be myself, where I can be the geek that loves music on stage in an arena."
Co-written with songwriters Bonnie Baker and Katrina Elam, the song was so personal to Hayes he says he spent nearly two months working on putting it to music, erasing much of his work and then starting over again. He says he never intended or thought "Invisible" would work as a single because it was too personal and serious.
" 'Invisible' was something that I wrote to say that I've been able to see that your dreams can come true, and there's no reason not to be yourself," Hayes says.
The Louisiana-born singer has found his initial success in doing things his way. He played all the instruments himself on his self-titled debut album, which earned him four Grammy nominations and led to three platinum-selling singles.
So when it came time to record new music for another album, he wanted to avoid repeating himself.
This time around he wanted to showcase his band's talent and give a more collective sound to the album.

text: Team News Dembele, Parker, BAE and Kaboul all out. Adebayor and Livermore both doubtful. Match Facts Head to Head Wigan have managed just two victories in the 15 previous meetings between the sides, but one of those came at White Hart Lane in the 2010-11 season. Tottenham did the double over Wigan last season, winning 2-1 at the DW Stadium and 3-1 at White Hart Lane. Gareth Bale scored three times in those fixtures. The Latics have scored just 13 times in the 14 league matches between the sides, compared with Tottenham's 32 goals. Tottenham Tottenham have scored in all nine of their league matches this season - the only other top-flight club to manage this feat is Manchester City. Only Robin van Persie (55) and Wayne Rooney (40) have scored more Premier League goals since the start of the 2010-11 season than Clint Dempsey (31). The American has scored six league goals against Wigan - more than against any other side. Only seven goals have been scored in the first half of Tottenham's nine league matches this season, but 23 goals have been scored after half-time. Wigan Wigan are the only Premier League team who have not recouped any points from losing positions this season. Their victory over West Ham was their first win in the league in seven attempts - and their first home victory of the season. Wigan have scored 34 Premier League goals in 2012 (excluding own goals) and none have come from an English player - they are the only club to have played in the division this calendar year without a single English scorer.

Today is World Food Day and around the world communities are taking a stand against hunger. But the solutions put forward differ dramatically depending on what one understands the "food problem" to be. For many, every day is World Food Day and presents both the necessity and opportunity to fight for farm and food justice; for them it is a matter of integrity and survival. Theirs (and ours) is a fight for food sovereignty, tackling the problems of hunger and our inequitable, imbalanced food system at their source.
For others, the Monsantos of the world, this day marks an opportunity to further push false, pesticide-dependent solutions to real problems. But democratizing our food system is the most powerful way I know to solve the underlying problems that World Food Day highlights — and people around the world are coming together to make it happen.
As I strolled through downtown Ashland, Oregon, last week, I was struck by how many "Yes on 92" signs and stickers I saw. There is clear, visible support from businesses and individuals for the measure to label genetically engineered (GE) foods.
And as the measure heads for a vote on November 4, industrial agriculture groups are pulling out all the stops to keep this ballot initiative from winning. Even so, there is an incredible groundswell of support for labeling GE food in Oregon and beyond. Things are looking hopeful!
Two weeks ago today, I was heading south for the inaugural "ShiftCon" gathering in Los Angeles. It was a fascinating event, attracting hundreds of women (and a handful of men) committed to "Shifting the Conversation" about health, wellness and the environment through social media activism.
My top two takeaways left me feeling optimistic. The first relates directly to our campaign work here at PAN: the pesticide problem is now front and center in the conversation about GE crops, and the link between the two is crystal clear. This is hugely encouraging. And the second? It may be obvious, but at ShiftCon it was palpable: the social media world is an astonishingly active and powerful place.
It's official. EPA and USDA have both evaluated Dow Chemical's new line of 2,4-D-resistant seeds, Enlist, and have approved both the seeds and the accompanying pesticide formulation for market.
This is a turning point, not just for grain production, but for food production in the U.S. and internationally. The introduction of Enlist corn and soybeans, and the widespread adoption of this new seed line, will have pervasive impacts on farmer livelihoods, public health and control of our food system.
Pesticide corporation Syngenta is pushing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow even more use of one of its bee-harming neonicotinoids, thiamethoxam. But with science clearly showing that neonics harm bees and other pollinators — contributing to dramatic die-offs in recent years — allowing increased use of this chemical would be a striking move in the wrong direction.
If EPA grants the request, more thiamethoxam will be applied to common crops — including corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa — that cover over 250 million acres of U.S. farmland, much of it in the Midwest. The proposed residue level increases vary by crop, but some would go up by as much as 400 times what is currently allowed.
Last week, California's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) released new data from its statewide Air Monitoring Network (AMN). As you've heard from us before, pesticide drift can seriously impact the health and well being of people living in rural communities.
And it is happening. Even with DPR's flawed sampling plan, this latest round of data confirms health-harming drift at monitoring sites across the state. Of the 32 pesticides and five breakdown products assessed, 24 were detected at least once. At one site, the neurotoxic insecticide chlorpyrifos was found in 75% of the air samples taken.
PAN and our partners are back to court to stand up for the law passed by the County of Kaua'i last year. The groups are appealing a judge's disappointing decision last month that struck down Kauai's landmark law to ensure some of the world's largest pesticide and biotech corporations are more transparent about their operations.
The law was intended to lift the veil on which pesticides are being used, and where, on the island. Many of these pesticides travel on wind and water to neighboring schools, neighborhoods and farm land. Despite corporate PR efforts, it's clear that more information about agricultural practices is essential to building a fair, green and healthy food and farming system on Kaua'i.
Walking past the ancient Roman Coliseum on my way to the recent International Symposium on Agroecology, the surprising twists of history were on my mind. Even a few years ago, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization — host of the symposium — would never have organized such a meeting. "Agroecology" was considered far too radical and dangerous a concept to many in FAO who had dedicated long careers to exporting the chemical-intensive "Green Revolution" model of agriculture around the world.
Yet there I was, along with 400 other scientists, agri-food system researchers, farmers and social movement leaders, commencing an intensive two-day exchange of agroecological knowledge, science and practice in the heart of Rome.
Very disappointing news came out of the U.S. Department of Agriculture yesterday. The agency announced it is greenlighting Dow Agroscience's new genetically engineered (GE) corn and soybeans that are designed to withstand repeated applications of 2,4-D — an antiquated, dangerous herbicide.
PAN scientist Dr. Marcia Ishii-Eiteman called the decision "a slap in the face" to the thousands of farmers who have expressed concerns about crop damage, economic losses and health risks associated with the dramatically increased use of 2,4-D that will accompany Dow's new crops. USDA predicts 2,4-D use in corn and soybean production will increase between 500% and 1,400% by 2020.
New California data about pesticides in food have been getting a fair amount of attention recently. Earlier this month, the state's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) released results from 2013 food sampling by their Pesticide Monitoring Program.
Unfortunately, DPR's conclusion that the residues they found on these latest food samples "pose no health risk" is more than a bit misleading. In fact, the trends indicated by the data are that the percentage of food samples containing pesticides has gone up over the past five years — as has the percentage of illegal residues found.

Time is up for the 13 students in Stephanee Stephens' eighth-grade Spanish class.
For the last few minutes they've been conjugating verbs, each typing away on a small tablet when a message pops up on the screen: "Eyes on the Teacher." Stephens, with tablet in hand, asks for "voluntarios o victimas" to come up front, plug their tablet into a projector and share their answers.
This is the classroom of the future.
The group at Autrey Mill Middle School in suburban Atlanta is part of a pilot project launched this spring by Amplify, News Corp.'s education technology company, which has tablets in the hands of about 2,500 students at 12 schools across the country including two in Georgia. It's one of several ambitious efforts aimed at pushing the evolution of technology in schools and the broader debate on how children learn today and how educators should respond.

For Chrysler, Dirty Harry couldn't leave the scene too fast. The American public appears to be ratifying the automaker's decision to move on from its dog-eared "Imported from Detroit" positioning to a new marketing campaign that promotes some more-relevant aspect of each of its four brands.
Actually, the reception for Chrysler's new TV commercials has been surprisingly strong, giving Chrysler the best perception of a Big Three automaker at least since early 2009, according to YouGov Brand Index, which regularly tracks the American public's take on many brands.
"The new first-person-narrated, motivational TV spots seem to have struck a strong chord with adults planning to purchase a car in the next 12 months," YouGov said in its own analysis of its survey results. "Reflecting the ads' 'comeback' tone, Chrysler not only achieved its best scores with that demo, but actually cracked the average for the domestic auto sector [for the first time] in more than three years," before the government-bailout drama of 2009.
Chrysler's Super Bowl ad in February 2011, starring Eminem, was cheered by many Americans because it bespoke resilience during financially tough times and unapologetically adored its highly troubled but quintessentially American home, Detroit. The spot bought Chrysler a lot of love and gave consumers a big reason to consider buying one of its new vehicles. And you can't argue with how Chrysler sales began turning around last year.
But even before Chrysler reached this year's Super Bowl, it had become risky to keep going down the "Imported from Detroit" path. The actual lineup of the Chrysler brand ostensibly being promoted in the Eminem ad and subsequent spots consists, after all, of only three vehicles, and two of them, the 200 and 300, were freshened last year. The economy wasn't a lot better this winter, but U.S. car sales certainly were. And by leading the pack of all major OEMs in terms of percentage gains in sales compared with a year earlier, Chrysler no longer made a credible underdog.
Then the Clint Eastwood spot in February jumped the shark. His tone was defiant and hopeful, well within the general "Imported from Detroit" theme, but the object of his anger wasn't clear.
Was it imports? Chrysler was beating a lot of them again.
Was it a reluctant American consumer? They were buying Chrysler vehicles at that moment like nobody's business.
Or was it naysayers, financial hardship in general, or an American economy that stubbornly wasn't recovering as fast as many would like?
The ambiguity of Eastwood's message left it — and Chrysler — open for criticism that they were being political by trying to rally the nation to a "second half" that happened to coincide with a second term of the Obama administration. Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne denied any such intention.
Consumers certainly were souring on Chrysler. After its "buzz score" rose on YouGov Brand Index in January, in the wake of positive coverage of Chrysler at the Detroit auto show, the regard of survey respondents dove again after the airing of the Eastwood ad, even as self-appointed critics from coast to coast enjoyed the continued creative relevancy of a hoary automotive brand from Flyover Country.

The activity: Maintaining digging tools
Why: Good gardening tools should last a lifetime — or longer. Simple tool maintenance can extend their life and will make your time in the garden easier and safer. Tools used in the soil will dull quickly. Sharp shovels, trowels, hoes and other weeding tools will require less effort by the gardener to dig, scrape, chop or divide plants. Sturdy, secure handles prevent mishaps that might lead to injury.

American music and Lincoln's words: Cellist Amit Peled, Ambassador Delano Lewis & Lonnie Klein
By Leora Zeitlin
Although Victor Herbert enjoyed superstar fame at the turn of the 20th century, his name – and his famous Cello Concerto No. 2 – are less known today. Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled hopes to bring the concerto back into the repertoire by performing it around the country, including in an American music concert with the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra. For former U. S. Ambassador to South Africa Delano Lewis, narrating Aaron Copland's powerful "Lincoln Portrait" in the same concert has powerful personal meaning. Peled, Lewis and LCSO conductor Lonnie Klein joined Intermezzo host Leora Zeitlin to talk about the music and the people behind it.

He told UEFA that it would be his final four year term, and that helped secure the votes of Europe, England aside.
Michel Platini is the long assumed front runner to take Blatter's place. He has been praised in the past by the Swiss, yet the rumours are starting to begin that Blatter will actually stand for election once again, despite pledging not to. He has indicated recently that he may not hand over the reins as once promised, leaving the question open when asked by journalists about his future intentions.
Blatter would have a tough job getting re-elected after dragging the body through such a difficult period. He is seen as an obstacle to change and reform, although there are genuine attempts at the moment to shake up the organisation. But there are modernising influences in FIFA now, among them Jordan's Prince Ali, Germany's Theo Zwanziger and others who may be keen to ensure that Blatter does not win another term for the organisation's credibility.
Defeating Platini will be a tough ask. He is known as one FIFA member who is very much incorruptible, and as much as he may be maligned by his critics, the Frenchman is an honest and fair minded individual who would be a welcome face as the next FIFA President, if not for his policies then at least for the image he would bring.
But is Blatter changing his tune and gearing up to take Platini on? He has just criticised Platini's plans to have a multi country Euro 2020, where matches would be staged across the length and breadth of the continent. Such plans, according to Blatter, take away from the character of the tournament.
Blatter's words are curious given his previous praise of Platini. "Michel Platini is ready. If he wishes. He says 'I do not know'… but deep down, he wants it," Blatter once said in an interview with France Football. "He will be a good president of course. He will not be the same president as me, because everyone is different, but he will be good president."
Forward to the present day, and Blatter's tune has changed. "A tournament should be played in one country, that's how you build identity and euphoria," Blatter was quoted by Kicker. "The 2020 tournament has been fragmented.
"It's not a European Championship anymore. It should be called something else - I don't know what. Such a European Championship lacks heart and soul. He believed in this idea. I told him that it was unthinkable. That is why I also told Platini his idea was not new."
Is this the sign of a battle ahead? If so, it could be the hardest Blatter has had yet.

Decoder process taking a lot of CPU rendering a quad/tristrip...
I am working on a video decoder application that should be able to run as many decoder instances as possible. I am using OpenGL because Xv causes screen tearing when rendering as many decoders as I need to render.
I have traced out the following loads used by this decoder:
5% cpu load per decoder
2% vertex load per decoder (quad or tristrip)
1% texture transfer load
Due to the fact that my company is loading the PC that's running this decoder with other things, such as video encoders, audio decoders and encoders, etc. I need this app to run with the least CPU footprint as possible.
I have commented out certain parts of the program, and have found that rendering the quad to the screen is taking an inordinate amount of CPU time. This quad is rendered with three textures, using a rendering technique much like this code:
I am wondering why rendering a single quad onto the screen is taking 2% of the CPU load, even when I use vertex buffer objects and a display list to render it. This 2% scales linearly, so when I am rendering four decoders, I have 8% CPU load in just sending the quad to the screen. I have also tried using a triangle strip, however, there is a negligible change in CPU load. I can't possibly imagine why a single quad would take 2% CPU load. I established it was 2% by commenting out the texture transfers, and just rendering a black quad.
I am running on a dual core Intel 2.4 Ghz machine with 1 gig ram and an NVidia 7600 (AGP) vid card. I am running with the NVidia closed source driver version 9746.
I have tried using vertex buffer objects and display lists to try to reduce this CPU load, to no avail. Are there any other tricks that can reduce this CPU load? NVidia specific tricks?

Health message for Friday, August 22: Unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion. Synopsis and Discussion AN OZONE HEALTH WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 22 An upper level high center aloft is currently building over Arizona from the west on its way to becoming temporarily re-established near the Four Corners. Thus, the summer monsoon circulation pattern is likely to return by late Friday; unfortunately, a significant moisture surge does not appear to be imminent at this time. What does appear certain is that afternoon Valley temperatures will approach 110 degrees F and local winds aloft will become more easterly into the weekend. With no cloud cover to speak of, daytime ozone production will be very efficient while ozone accumulation trends upwards. This raises the potential for near-to-unhealthy ozone levels to occur the next few days - primarily over the east metro area. As a result, an Ozone Health Watch has been issued for Friday with a possible weekend extension. In the meantime, particle pollutant levels should remain relatively low thru this forecast period. -Reith ********************************************************************** NOTICE: This e-mail (and any attachments) may contain PRIVILEGED OR CONFIDENTIAL information and is intended only for the use of the specific individual(s) to whom it is addressed.

Tribe was an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts which was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They released three albums, two on Slash Records/Warner Bros. Records, but did not translate their local appeal into national fame[1] and disbanded in 1994.
Greg LoPiccolo later stated that "When Warner Bros didn't pick up our option for the third album; that was kind of a momentum-killer."[2]
Terri and Eric Brosius and Greg LoPiccolo later joined video game developer Looking Glass Studios and did sound/voice/music work on various games. They would later become founding members of Guitar Hero developer Harmonix.[3]
"Outside", a song from Here at the Home, was featured in the 2007 music video game Rock Band.
Current status[edit]
Recently, Terri Brosius helped form a new local Boston band called The Vivs, where she is the keyboard player and backing vocalist. Eric also helped to produce their debut album, Mouth to Mouth. In 2010, Eric became a member of the Boston band Eddie Japan, which also features Greg LoPiccolo's brother Bart on guitar.
Janet LaValley has a song called 'Jube' on the soundtrack for the movie "That's What She Said."[4]

SCHENECTADY--A police car staked out in front of 847 Eastern Avenue isn't unusual this week say the people who call the four family house home.
"Not surprised just scary, scary," explains Brian Rodriguez, a father of two who rents an apartment on the ground floor.
Thursday evening, after reports of children crying, investigators found the body of a young woman. It's unclear, as of now, how exactly she died. The medical examiner ruled the cause of death inconclusive and is awaiting results from the toxicology report.
"It's just crazy. You come home from work and find neighbors (dead) in their own home," says Rodriguez.
Two children, an infant and a toddler, were taken from the apartment to Albany Medical Center. Their conditions aren't being released and they are now under the supervision of Schenectady County's Child Protective Services. Investigators won't estimate how long they were alone in the house with the body, presumed to be their mother.
"She was a typical mother--she'd come home, take care of her kids not into anything. She was always with her kids," remembers Rodriguez.
Another apartment inside 847 Eastern Avenue is where police located the man they believe is responsible for the murder of Mary Greco. The 82 year-old retired nun was found killed in her Stanford Street apartment on New Year's Day. The Times Union reports the suspect's name is Michael Briggs. Briggs was taken in on a parole violation and hasn't been charged with Greco's death.
"You are not even safe in your own home...not even safe in your own home," adds Rodriguez.
Briggs was taken into custody January 5th.

Shower Wall Panels
Five Finishes
GLOSS FINISH: Our most popular finish, the smooth Gloss Finish gives a classic appearance with an easy to clean smooth surface. All colors are available in the Gloss Finish. Also, Inlay Stripes and Picture Inlays are available in the Gloss Finish.
MATTE FINISH: We achieved our Matte Finish 'look' by lightly sanding the panels and then applying a permanent sealer to the surface. There is little to no shine on Matte Finish Panels. Many colors are available in a Matte. No Picture Inlays available.
SUBWAY TILE FINISH: is a smooth, flat tile design with faux grout lines. -- The size of the "tile" is 3" x 9 5/8" and the 1/4" wide grout groove is 1/32" deep. -- The Subway Tile panels are priced the same as Smooth Gloss, Slate, and Stone Tile panel finishes. -- As with all Onyx wall panels, the edges that will be exposed will be finished. The grout molding shape will also be shown on the finished edge.
STONE TILE FINISH: Our production mold was made from natural 12" x 12" stone tiles. This gives each wall panel, which is cast in one piece, the look of stone tile without the worry of leaking grout seams. Same price as Gloss and Slate Finish. All our colors are available in the Stone Tile Finish. No Picture Inlays or Stripe/Border Inlays available.
SLATE FINISH: Our Slate Finish Shower Walls have an even texture of natural slate across the entire surface. Same price as Gloss Finish. All our colors are available in the Slate Finish. No Picture Inlays available.
Onyx wall panels are available in any height, color, and design. Panels are available in Gloss, Matte, Tile, and Slate finish. An Onyx panel is approximately 3/8" thick and is a solid color throughout. Panels weigh about 3.5lbs per square foot.
Shower Wall Panel Instructions (PDF)
|Most showers will use a panel for each wall. Each wall panel is a separate piece.
The side panels have two finished edges, (top & front,) and the back panel will have a finished top edge. Any cutting, notching, drilling, or sanding can be done using regular wood cutting tools.
Panels are attached to the wall using our adhesive silicone. Color match silicone is used to seal the seams where two onyx pieces come together. Panels can be ordered oversized and can be trimmed to fit using regular wood cutting tools. Corner trim is also available to cover gaps caused by crooked or uneven walls.
Shower built in seat
with walls
|Onyx wall panels can also be used for bathtub walls.
Shower Accessories - caddies, seats, and trim are available to match the Onyx shower wall panels and base.
Onyx panels are easy to clean. A common household surface cleaner that we often recommend is just diluted white vinegar. This works well on all Onyx products. Gel-Gloss will help maintain the appearance and make cleaning easier.
Graphic Inlays are also available. See pictures inlay gallery for examples.
Onyx Inlay stripes and borders are available as well. Onyx Inlays can be any color and up to 4" on borders.

Neil Young Cancels Show in Support Of Strikers
• IATSE 33 Thanks Singer for Refusing to Cross Picket Line
October 30 – Neil Young has cancelled his Los Angeles concert scheduled for tonight at the Inglewood Forum rather than cross the IASTE Local 33 picket line that has been occurring over a labor dispute at the venue. Confronted with whether to perform and have his fans cross a picket line or to cancel the show, Young chose the latter.
"We whole-heartedly thank Neil Young for taking this strong stand with our union, and for all middle-class Americans," said IATSE 33 Business Representative James Wright. "At this time of crisis in our country's economy, it is vital that we all stand together to help middle class families."

We Won't Quit Until Justice is Done!
• Fair Wages for Forum Workers!
Please tell the Forum:
We want our jobs back!
Middle Class jobs need to stay in Inglewood!
Make Your Voice Heard.
Over 120 Workers
on Sidewalk at Forum After 39 Years of Service
• Stagehands, Janitors, Building
Engineers Impacted
After more than two years of negotiating for a new
contract agreement, stagehands at the L.A. Forum were
terminated from their jobs last April. Many of
them had years of service at the facility. The janitors
had their contracts terminated in February. Last year,
the building engineers were forced to walk away from
the venue after wages were slashed.
For 39 years, since the building opened, the Forum
has been a union facility. Six years ago the Forum
was purchased by Faithful Central Bible Church. Even
after the church bought the facility, we continued
to work well with management there. We bent over backwards
to accommodate the Church.
But it wasn't enough.
Two years ago, Faithful Central Bible Church brought
in SMG, the multimillion-dollar corporate management
company, which has taken a very hard-line stance. After
forcing steep cuts of up to 35% on veteran workers
we were unable to reach an agreement. Then, earlier
this year we were terminated. Replacement workers were
waiting in the wings to take our jobs, brought in on
church busses.
Now we are fighting back. Stagehands from IATSE Local
33, janitors represented by SEIU Local 1877 and building
engineers from Operating Engineers 501 have joined
forces to try and get our jobs back at the Forum in
Middle class jobs need to stay in Inglewood. The unions
feel that the Forum, by defending fair pay and treatment,
would reaffirm the values of the many union members
who are residents of the city of Inglewood.
We ask the church not to wash its hands of this dispute
but to take responsibility and a leadership role in
forging a solution. Please stop allowing SMG to bring
in replacement workers as we stand on the sidewalks.

BAQUBAH, Iraq, Jan. 21, 2005 Leaders from the U.S. 1st Infantry Division and Iraqi security forces gathered here Jan. 20 to prepare for and set the conditions for a successful election process in Iraq's Diyala province Jan. 30 when Iraqis elect a national assembly to write a new constitution for the country.
Col. Dana J.H. Pittard, 3rd Brigade Combat Team commander, explained that the meeting was necessary to coordinate the efforts of Iraqi security forces and multinational forces.
The 32nd Iraqi Army Brigade's commander, Brig Gen. Ha'ad Ibrahim Ali Mohammad Al Timimi, also provided perspective. "We've been preparing for a while, hoping to improve security at the polling sites and trying to encourage maximum participation," he said. "The main issue is to discover weak points and figure out how to correct them."
Lt. Gen. Abd-Azziz, commander of the 4th Iraqi Army Division, which covers the northern Iraqi provinces, explained that improving the security situation was crucial to increasing public confidence and ensuring a good turnout.

continued Inmates from other counties averaged 6.5 in January 2011, with a high of 8. In 2012, that number dropped to 2.9, with a high of 5, along with a period where there were no out of county inmates housed.
North Elba Supervisor and County Board Vice-Chairman Roby Politi said he was concerned about where these numbers may lead.
"If things continue, you will have a deficit of over $500,000 in revenue," Politi said. "If you are down over $500,000 in revenue this year, that is a huge hit. What are your plans?"
"We are talking to Putnam County," Cutting said. "We had discussions with them last week concerning some of their overflow inmates, but Rensselaer County just opened up a huge addition and they are a lot more central than we are."
Cutting said again that he was also trying to work with federal marshalls as well as other counties.
Cutting also said that the jail is being filled with more in-county inmates. While federal and other inmate numbers have gone down drastically between 2011 and 2012, total inmate count has gone up, from an average of 70.5 in 2011 (80 high, 62 low) to 72.6 in 2012 (79 high, 66 low).
"Our own numbers are increasing and the more the Essex County inmates increase, the less room there are for boarders," Cutting said.
Politi said his biggest concern was if the trend of the first month of the year continued throughout 2012.
"What was budgeted for 2012 in terms of revenue for the Jail," Politi said. "I mean, we are going to be down over $500,000 if this keeps up."
"It is early in the year but it is conceivable," Cutting replied.

"Castlevania" by KONAMI was one of the first games that I owned for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) back in 1986 and it is still one of my favorite games and series.
I will admit that I actually faked an illness to stay home from school to play "Castlevania" the next day after I got it.
I have played just about every "Castlevania" game that has been released by KONAMI and I have enjoyed most of them. I was very excited when I received a review copy of KONAMI's "Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate" for the Nintendo 3DS earlier this week.
"Mirror of Fate" is a very exciting and thrilling game that I know all "Castlevania" fans will love.
"Mirror of Fate" takes place 25 years after "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow" and you get to learn the history of the Belmont family. Gabriel Belmont has become a very powerful vampire and is now called "Dracula." Gabriel's son is Trevor Belmont and he must try and stop his father before he destroys the rest of the Belmont family.
Each level of the game is a specific event that has led up to the final confrontation between Trevor and Gabriel. You also get the chance to play as some of the different members of the Belmont family such as Trevor, Simon, and Alucard.
I really liked the story a lot and thought that it was great. I also really liked the fact that it made sense and it tied all of the "Castlevania" games together. I also really liked the fact that you got to play as multiple characters especially Simon Belmont. Simon was the main character in the original NES "Castlevania," Castlevania II: Simon's Quest," and "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse."
The controls were very easy to learn and anyone will be able to pick up the game and play it. Whenever you learn a new skill or find an item a menu will pop up and tell you what buttons you need to push to use it. Also at any time during the game you can bring up a menu to look at all of your attacks and moves and also what buttons you need to push to do them. I thought that this was very helpful.
The graphics are amazing and you have to play "Mirror of Fate" in 3D. The 3D effects are brilliant and it is hard to describe how awesome the game looks. You have to see it for yourselves. The creatures and characters are very detailed and the backgrounds are stunning.
The animated sequences look great and are very unique. I really liked the animation because it was so different. It was very well done and also very creative.
The bosses look amazing and are huge. They all have their own unique way you have to defeat them and it is really fun trying to figure out what you need to do to beat them.
Once you are close to beating them you will go into a cinematic sequence where you will have to push a specific button sequence to continue on with your attack.
There are so many different features that I really enjoyed a lot in "Mirrors of Fate" that I don't know where to begin.
As you make your way through the many different levels you gain experience points by defeating monsters and creatures. Once you gain enough experience points you will learn a new skill or a new attack that you can use to defeat your enemies.
Your main weapon is your whip called "The Beast Hunter" and you will eventually find upgrades that will allow you to grapple high cliffs or swing to ledges. There are several upgrades and the trick is to find out where they are. You will need some of these upgrades in order to advance through the level or to find secret things hidden within the level.
You will also find secondary weapons that you can use such as an ax or a potion. You can use these weapons anytime, but you will need "weapon hearts" to use them.
Once your "weapon hearts" are gone you can't use your secondary weapon until you find more. Creatures will drop them once they are defeated so you don't have to worry too much about finding them.
One of my favorite things to do is that when you are fighting a creature you can do a special move to defeat them. When a creature is about to be defeated they will turn a silver color and if you push the "R" button you will do a special move like take your cross and stab them in the chest. Each creature has a different cinematic movie when you attack them like this.
It looks amazing and it is really fun when you encounter a new enemy to see what you will do to it to finish it off.
You also have the ability to use magic to help you. Each character has their own unique magic powers that they can use. For example, Simon can use a spirit that will protect him from taking damage. I won't ruin everything but some of the magic abilities are amazing and very helpful.
"Mirror of Fate" is a side scrolling game, but you are free to explore many different areas in each level. You can see the map of the level on the lower screen and as you go into a new room or area it will light up. To gain access to certain areas you will need an upgrade and you will not be able to access the areas right away. However, if you do find the upgrade, you can go back and access the area you were not able to before.
Another really cool feature is that you can make notes on the map. For example if you get to an area and you need the Combat Cross to grapple up a wall, you can drag a marker on the map and write "Combat Cross" or whatever will help you remember what you need to do. Then the marker will show up on the map and if you tap on it with the stylus your message will show up. I thought that this was very helpful.
At any time during your gameplay you can access your skills and weapons. You can click on each weapon or skill and learn more about them.
There are many different things hidden in the game that you must find and I really thought that this added a lot to the game. There are scrolls that tell you more about the story of the game, there are weapons, health, magic, and weapon heart upgrades. These were really fun to find and I think people will have a great time trying to find everything.
Before you start your game, you can view a few different extras. You can watch all of the cinematic movies that you have viewed so far. You can jump to different levels once you have completed them. You can also view different creatures you have encountered in the game. You unlock the creatures by finding different scrolls that are hidden in the game. You can view a 3D model of the creature and also read some information about them.
I really enjoyed KONAMI's "Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate" a lot. The story is great and the graphics are truly amazing. I really liked the fact that you got the opportunity to play as different characters that were very unique. The bosses and creatures looked amazing and creepy.
The map system was a great addition and also the fact that there were so many different things to find. "Mirror of Fate" is rated "M" for blood, gore and violence. I really thought "Mirror of Fate" was amazing and I know that fans of the "Castlevania" series will really enjoy this a lot.

Times Square
- Type: Entertainment and Nightlife, Sightseeing
- Time to Spend: Less than 1 hour
|Overall Rating:
|About these ratings
Some say that Times Square is like a five-block metaphor for New York City itself — it's exciting, colorful and always jumping. Others describe this area of Midtown Manhattan as artless, overpriced and congested. Perhaps this commercial stretch from West 42nd to West 47th Street is a little of both, and though locals would advise you to avoid it, you should at least catch a glimpse of its neon lights. Most travelers recommend visiting the area after dark. "I love Times Square, especially at midnight when it's brightly lit and the place is a hive of activity. It's quite a sight," exclaimed one TripAdvisor user.
Times Square's biggest tourist draw is the annual New Year's Eve ball drop. Revelers jam-pack the area to see New York's famous Waterford Crystal ball descend 77 feet from a pole on the One Times Square building. If you're feeling brave, take a trip to New York and Times Square at this time of year and watch the ball drop for free! Just plan on coming in the early morning and staying all day, and note that the area is super crowded — even by New York standards.
Times Square's constant activity makes it easy to find (take any train that stops at 42nd Street and Times Square or Port Authority). Visit the official website for more information on what you can see and do in the area, and keep in mind the area's restaurants and stores have closing hours, but the billboards of Time Square bedazzle 24/7.

Gareth Owen: Scouting missions broaden horizons during injury absence
Posted: December 17, 2011|
I M delighted to report that I've returned to full training after my groin surgery. It's been a frustrating time because all I've wanted to do is be out on the pitch helping the team pick up points.
But while I've been on the sidelines, Micky Adams has still had me playing a crucial role – by sending me out scouting.
And I don't mean sitting around a camp fire, singing songs... but spying on future opposition and players.
To be honest, I didn't know what to expect – or even do – when I was sent on my first mission on a cold November afternoon to Grimsby.
In my mind, I had visions of old men in trench coats talking of years gone by and how football had changed.
There was an old guy there, but that was it. Just me and him. And a stand full of Grimsby fans.
I found out he was from Scunthorpe and didn't have anything better to do that afternoon, while I was there to file a report to the gaffer for the FA Cup tie the following week.
I never stopped writing all game. I was petrified I would miss something that might cost us a goal – I must have used half an A4 pad during the 90 minutes.
It wasn't easy to concentrate because I was sitting right among the Grimsby season-ticket holders.
I think the club must have seen I was from Port Vale and so found me in the worst viewing point possible.
I had people nudging me, fans berating referees and two guys behind me discussing what they were doing that night. I lasted 15 minutes before moving to the back row for some peace. It was just me and the pigeons.
I managed to file the report. Basically it's my job to report back on the formation and personnel used in a particular match, plus the heights and kicking feet of the players and their other attributes.
I also highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the team I'm observing and checking how they line up at set-pieces.
All-in-all, I have to give the gaffer an idea about what our team might face in upcoming matches.
Scouting comes in two forms – opposition scouting, like I mentioned, and player scouting.
Player scouting involves looking at potential recruits and whether they fit the bill for Vale.
Of course, we are not always looking for players, but by taking in games you can build up dossiers about those available and your options in different positions should you suddenly be left short.
The gaffer has a long list of contacts and players after years in the game, and you only have to look at Jennison Myrie-Williams and Guy Madjo to see how he can use the loan market.
I went to watch potential recruits at a Bolton reserves versus Manchester United reserves match.
After the limited number of scouts at Grimsby, this was different. There were pages and pages of names of scouts from as far north as Inverness Caledonian Thistle and as far south as Portsmouth and Plymouth Argyle.
All of us were scribbling away over details of some of the players on show, but whether we could afford the likes of Martin Petrov or Darren Pratley is another matter.
I did like the look of a young United player called William Keane. He had just made his debut for United in the Carling Cup, and obviously has a big future in the game.
Scouts are vital to any football club. When I used to coach a Sunday pub side, I used to send my mate Tom Holdcroft to watch potential opponents in big cup competitions.
We managed to win five trophies that year, and his work was a major reason why we were successful.
Not all scouts are good, though.
At one club in my career, I swear the chief scout either watched a different game or used to make his reports up.
He would say one guy was small when, in fact, he was a giant, or one particular player was very slow only for him to then burst past everybody with blistering pace.
I managed to catch him out once when I went to watch a game he had claimed to be at. He wasn't there.
I later questioned him about one particular player. His reply was "big, mobile with good feet, had a blinder". In reality, the same player had a nightmare and was substituted.
"Really?" I said, "I thought he was subbed." "Oh," he mumbled, "well he must have done OK, he was marked as a seven in the paper!"
Scouting is a major part of football. There are good scouts and bad ones, but the information they provide can be the difference between winning and losing.

Wacom tablets are a popular alternative to the mouse for painting, drawing, and navigating your computer in a more natural position. In this course, artist and teacher John Derry shows how to get up and running with a variety of Wacom tablets (Intuos, Cintiq, and more), covering everything from setup to stylus selection. He then shows how to speed up your workflow and enhance your command of the drawing surface with ExpressKeys, the Touch Ring, and other controls. Plus, learn about tablet ergonomics—which makes your Wacom even more compatible with your working conditions—and follow a few exercises to warm up your drawing arm.
Drawing freehand is one of the basic means of communication. The term freehand means to draw using only eye-hand coordination. It is a method for explaining something that can't be fully expressed in words alone. Even a simple map drawn to explain to someone how to get to a location is a freehand drawing. We use freehand drawing to transfer something we see in our mind's eye to a form that is viewable by others. Beyond a simple sketch, drawing becomes a means of expressing our inner feelings to others.
At its highest level, drawing becomes a mirror into the times a drawing is created. A pen and tablet provide a means to preserve these expressions in a malleable, digital form. I'm just going to start sketching, and I am really not even thinking about what I'm drawing here. It's just basic, kind of mindless sketch play. And this is one of the best ways to get yourself started. If you begin trying to emulate objects that are in reality in front of you, you're going to run into the problem of feeling as if you're not matching up to the expectations of how that object looks.
Just making things up as I'm doing here, just drawing a simple cube, for example, is just a way to exercise those skills of, in particular, playing with the thinness to thickness of an expressive drawing, and the thing that's key here is that pressure is really your main attribute in terms of expressive drawing. I'm just going to do a little sample over here. If I start very lightly, you can see how I'm getting a very light stroke on the screen, and it's not entirely opaque.
But, as I start to press harder and harder, what happens is I begin to get a much more intense line. So it's learning how to control this thinness to thickness and opacity to transparency that all comes about once you start incorporating it into a drawing. And the thing to remember is, once this becomes internalized, you're not even going to think about anymore exactly how you're doing it. It just happens, it becomes an expression of yourself. So, freehand drawing is the underlying foundation for all forms of visual communication.
The eye-hand coordination, which is learned via sketching, applies to all stylus-based expressive media. If you're at the beginning of an expressive journey into visual art, practicing drawing skills is the fastest way to improve your drawing ability.

The aim of the present analyses was to evaluate differences in suicidality (past suicide attempts, suicidal thoughts at time of admission and completed suicides during the hospital stay) between bipolar and unipolar depressed inpatients. Apart from a higher frequency of past suicide attempts in bipolar depressed patients (26.6% in bipolar vs. 17.8% in unipolar patients), findings do not indicate any further differences in suicidality (suicidal thoughts (about 40% in both groups) and completed suicides during the hospital stay (0.8% in both groups)) between bipolar and unipolar patients. Factors with a predictive value for suicidal thoughts at the time of admission were a positive family history for affective disorders, past suicide attempts, and the depressive and paranoid hallucinatory syndrome (all associated with an increased risk). Female gender, an older age at hospitalisation and a longer duration of the illness were found to be associated with a lower probability for having suicidal tendencies at the time of admission. The risk for committing suicide during the hospital stay was increased if the patients had a history of past suicide attempts and suicidal thoughts at the time of admission. A more pronounced depressive syndrome at time of admission was slightly associated with a lower risk of committing suicide.

A Hike For Answers
SALEM- Julianne Abendroth-Smith, associate professor in Exercise Science at Willamette, is looking for volunteers to assist in a research project tracking the effects of dual trekking poles.
"I'm investigating the force distribution and muscle use of the lower limbs with and without the use of dual trekking poles," said Abendroth-Smith. "Hikers who have experience with trekking poles and carrying backpacks, would be great, but as long as you have a pair of shorts, two feet, and are between the ages of 18 and 64, you're hired."
Volunteers can sign up for hikes at anytime, starting this Saturday, September 4 through Tuesday, September 7. Hikes and testing will last about an hour. Participants may receive results as to how their body reacts to specific joint pressure, and how they may reduce this pressure, as well as muscle soreness.
If you're interested in helping Julianne conduct this research you may visit her lab on campus in Gatke Hall or you can contact her at (503) 370-6423, or send her an email at email@example.com.

Federer wins sixth World Tour title after thrilling battle with Tsonga
Posted: November 28, 2011|
ROGER Federer won a record sixth title at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals with an enthralling 6-3 6-7 (6/8) 6-3 victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the O2 Arena in London.
Having weathered an early storm to win the first set, the 30-year-old, who was looking to go through the tournament unbeaten for a second consecutive year, looked to have victory in his grasp when he served for the match at 5-4 in the second.
But back came Tsonga, levelling and then fighting from 5-2 down in the tie-break to level, only for his opponent to clinch the crucial break in the decider.
Federer, who also became the tournament's oldest winner, previously held the record jointly with Pete Sampras and Ivan Lendl, while his 70th victory in his 100th final, netted the Swiss more than £1 million.
Federer, who will take a winning streak of 17 matches into next season, said: "I couldn't be more happy and I couldn't be more exhausted."
Tsonga added: "I want to congratulate Roger. Without you, maybe I could get some of your titles, but you are the best."
Incredibly, it was the third Sunday in a row in which Federer and Tsonga had faced each other after the former's victories at the Paris Masters and in the group stages here, and their eighth meeting of the year.
Tsonga was certainly more impressive in his win over Tomas Berdych on Saturday than Federer had been against David Ferrer, and he began in confident fashion.
The Frenchman had simply overpowered the 16-time grand slam champion in becoming the first player to beat him at a grand slam from two sets down at Wimbledon, and the same thing looked possible here as he piled the pressure on in the early stages.
But, crucially, the break did not come and, in the eighth game, Federer made his move, winding up his backhand to earn three break points and taking the second when his opponent netted an attempted drop volley. That left the fourth seed serving for the set and, although Tsonga saved two set points in impressive fashion, there was nothing he could do on the third.
In the second set tie-break, Tsonga trailed 5-2. He clawed back to level before an ace earned Federer his first match point. However, Tsonga powered away a forehand winner.
Another service winner gave him a set point and he took it with a stunning forehand return.

Despicable Me Minions – Let's Meet Gru's Minions (Name and Photos)
Who would resist the cuteness of Gru's minions in the Despicable Me franchise? Aren't they adorable? Of course they are. Well it's not surprising that these minions were one of the reasons why Despicable Me has its part 2, right? It was surely a hit. I can still remember how I spent about an hour just to get my ticket for the movie.
There are about 889 minions and it's hard to identify them one by one. You would have probably heard Gru calling them by names but it's still confusing on our part especially that these minions have the same color and bodies. There are two-eyed minions. There are also one-eyed minions. Some are stout while some are thin. The hair can also be other way to distinguish them. According to Wiki, there are about 30 possible combinations of these minions – combination of the number of eyes, body, height, and the hair. Well, they also speak in a language that even we can't understand. So it's quite hard to really identify them. Anyway, let's get to know the names of these minions!
- Larry
- Dave
- Kevin
- Jerry
- Stuart
- Mark
- Tim
- Jorge
- Carl
- Bob
- Tom
- Bill

Dr. Alveda King comments on race
ADR. alveda King
Here are two articles about Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In the first, she discusses race-baiting by the NAACP. In the second, she comments on a picture of her uncle wearing a hoodie.
I'm always hearing from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in the Media, but very little from Dr. king. Is that because the media doesn't like her message?

The most of circulating assets on our business Current Account are blocked.
Over 700k of expropriated money will be used to repay country's debt. Probably we will get back about 20% of this amount in 6-7 years.
I'm not Russian oligarch, but just European medium size IT business. Thousands of other companies around Cyprus have the same situation.
The business is definitely ruined, all Cypriot workers to be fired.
We are moving to small Caribbean country where authorities have more respect to people's assets. Also we are thinking about using Bitcoin to pay wages and for payments between our partners.

Experts Back Brain Boosters For All
Your son is in his final year of high school and says some of the other students are taking Ritalin to help them concentrate while they study and write exams.
The drug may help him get into the university of his choice or win a scholarship. He wants to try it. What do you say?
Surveys suggest that in the United States, an increasing number of healthy university students are using so-called cognitive-enhancing drugs such as Ritalin and modafinil to improve their academic performance. One found that on some campuses, as many as one in four students used these kinds of drugs to get better marks, and that over all 7 per cent had done so.<./p>
In their commentary in Nature, Stanford University's Henry Greely and his colleagues argue that taking Ritalin before an exam is no different from eating well or getting enough sleep.
The seven authors, from the United States and Britain, include ethics experts and the editor-in-chief of Nature as well as scientists. They developed their case at a seminar funded by Nature and the Rockefeller University in New York. Two authors said they consult for pharmaceutical companies. The others reported no such financial ties.
"Recent research has identified beneficial neural changes engendered by exercise, nutrition and sleep. In short, cognitive-enhancing drugs seem morally equivalent to other, more familiar enhancements," they argue in the commentary.
But isn't allowing some students to use the drugs while others don't similar to giving only half the people in a class calculators for a math exam? Dr. Greely and his colleagues argue that this kind of unfairness already exists.
"Differences in education, including private tutoring, preparatory courses and other enriching experiences give some students an advantage over others," they write.
Learning more about how the drugs work might lead to greater acceptance of people taking them for non-medical reasons, Dr. Greely and his colleagues say.
If these medications improve long-term learning, they offer the potential of new discoveries and innovations, they write in Nature. You can't say that about an athlete taking steroids to win Olympic gold.

The counting of absentee ballots in the NY-20 is proceeding. Depending on whose vote count you like, either the Democrat or the Republican is ahead. But these races are preludes to court battles. In this one, the judge is sick for today, but the lawyers argue on.
These contests all have a familiar pattern now. The race is nearly a tie. Both sides begin the game of tossing out the other guy's ballots for failure to meet the technical requirements of state balloting law. The candidate who's behind claims all the votes aren't being counted. The court cases drag on. The result is that voters soon get the idea, perhaps correctly, that the winner is just the fellow with the better lawyers. If not, the judges decide these things based on political affiliation. All of that is bad and erodes confidence in voting. Do we have a better solution? Automatic re-votes, perhaps, but those tend to be expensive and then we will fight over whether the margin is close enough to qualify for the re-vote. Unfortunately, with Bush v. Gore we opened a new chapter in voting, in which election day is simply the predicate for a lawsuit.
There is no substitute for restraint and good sportsmanship. And these days those are considered anachronisms of a by-gone era.
