Randy Carlyle has some theories on what causes concussions
More NHL: Scores | Standings | Odds | Fight-O-Meter | League Leaders | Rumors
Joffrey Lupul had to leave Toronto's last game against the Philadelphia Flyers after he was on the receiving end of a big hit from Jay Rosehill and Adam Hall.
Naturally, this has been a big topic of discussion around the Maple Leafs, and it's led to coach Randy Carlyle making some interesting comments on concussions and head injuries.
No, maybe interesting isn't the right word.
How about outrageous?
First, Carlyle didn't want to use the word "concussion" when talking about Lupul's injury, saying, "No, that's a bad word. We don't use that word until we're 100 percent sure on any of the situations. The term concussion in today's world, sporting world, you want to be 100 percent sure before you start using that word.
"Until you know exactly what it is I don't think you should make any statements. Everyone saw the hit, he got squeezed out, he was dazed and didn't feel very good, so we sent him for an examination [Friday] morning, and they just said he was day-to-day."
Carlyle admitted he's no expert and that as coaches they've all read medical journals that have been provided to them, but that they leave it to the player and medical staff to determine when the player is ready to return, no matter what the injury is.
But then Carlyle started to talk about his own theories, and that's where things just start to fly off the rails.
That theory, via Sportsnet's Michael Grange:
"I have a theory on concussions," he said. "I think the reason there's so much more of them — obviously the impact and the size of the equipment and the size of the player — but there's another factor: everyone wears helmets, and under your skull when you have a helmet on, there's a heat issue.
"Everyone sweats a lot more, the brain swells. The brain is closer to the skull. Think about it. Does it make sense? Common sense?" said Carlyle, who said he'd never talked to a doctor about his premise, which he was introduced to by Jim Pappin, the former Leaf who also played his career helmet free.
"I don't know if it's true, but that would be my theory. Heat expands and cold contracts. The brain is like a muscle, it's pumping, it swells, it's a lot closer to the outside of the skull."
No, Randy. It doesn't really make sense.
Grange presented Carlye's theory to Dr. Charles Tator, the project director of the Canadian Sports Concussion Project at the Krembil Neuroscience Centre at Toronto Western Hospital, and he doesn't believe it's anywhere close to reality. Tator said he didn't believe there was any evidence to suggest exercise makes the brain swell. He also added that, "scientifically it is unsound to think that the temperature underneath the head and the helmet is going to reflect the temperature of the brain. There are too many layers of tissues in between.
"The circulation of blood and other factors that dissipate temperature would prevent any outside change of temperature of a few degrees from getting the brain from getting into the brain. The theory doesn't hold water."
Lupul's availability for Saturday night's game in New Jersey is not yet known. In 10 games this season he's scored eight goals to go with six assists. The Maple Leafs enter Saturday in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 44 points.

Newspaper article The Canadian Press
Juvenile Criminal Caseload Fell in 2010-2011, Second Straight Drop: StatsCan: Juvenile Court Cases Down in 2010-2011
Article excerpt
OTTAWA - Statistics Canada says the caseload in youth courts fell seven per cent in 2010-2011, a second straight annual drop.
The agency says youth courts handled about 52,900 cases last year, involving more than 178,000 charges.
Meanwhile, adult criminal courts completed nearly 403,000 cases in the same year, involving about 1.2 million charges.
The adult caseload was virtually the same as the previous year following three consecutive annual increases.
The number of youth court cases fell in every province except Manitoba, where it was up three per cent from the previous year.
The number of adult cases declined by seven per cent in British Columbia and by six per cent in Alberta and Quebec.
These declines were offset by increases elsewhere, including Saskatchewan, where cases rose five per cent and Ontario, which had a two per cent increase.
Most criminal cases involved non-violent offences.
For adults, 77 per cent of all completed cases involved property, administration of justice, traffic or other non-violent offences, such as drug charges. Violent offences accounted for the remaining 23 per cent.
The most common offences in adult court were impaired driving, theft, common assault, failure to comply with a court order and breach of probation. …

When I picked this recipe I wasnt sure what a teacake was, as here in Australia a tea cake is just a butter cake. I assumed they were similar to scones. I made them exactly to the recipe and they were quite nice. Lower fat/sugar is good too. They are like cross between a cake and a scone..

Patriots release WR Austin Collie, add WR LaQuan Williams
The Austin Collie experiment is over in New England. After spending almost exactly one month with the Patriots, Collie was cut on Tuesday. New England originally signed Collie on Oct. 3 to help with the team's depth problems at wide receiver.
In four games with New England, Collie caught three passes for 34 yards. The 27-year-old wide receiver suffered a knee injury in the Patriots 55-31 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday. Collie was released with the vested veteran injury designation, according to the Boston Globe. This means his knee likely played a role in New England's decision to release him.
Collie's knee isn't the first injury he's dealt with in his career, he's suffered a number of concussions and he also suffered a ruptured patella tendon last year. The fifth-year receiver has only played in a total of five games over the past two seasons.
To fill Collie's spot on the roster, the Patriots added LaQuan Williams. The 25-year-old receiver spent the past two seasons in Baltimore where he caught four passes for 46 yards. The Ravens signed Williams as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland in 2011.

December 04,2012RUDOLPH, Ohio Volunteers in the northwest Ohio village of Rudolph have come together to save the most famous postmark of all. Thousands of letters flood the village post office every December so they can be stamped with a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer postmark. But the tradition was in danger of ending when the post office staff was cut down to one and the work became too much to handle. Thats when volunteers in the community decided to take over the job. When word spread, pleadings from local politicians and townsfolk persuaded the U.S. Postal Service to allow volunteers to stamp the special Reindeer Station postmark on the 80,000 letters and cards that come in from across the country. Close to 75 people, including a few retired postal workers, have signed up to work daily shifts.

2009-10: Anthony Florentino played for Xaverian Brothers HS in Massachusetts as a freshman. Xaverian reached the Super 8 tournament.
2010-11: Florentino transferred to South Kent School in Connecticut and also skated for the South Shore Kings in the Empire Junior Hockey League. In 24 games for South Kent he scored 5 goals with 10 assists. South Kent was the top team entering the New England Prep School small school tournament but was upset by 8th-seeded New Hampton in the first round of the tournament. Florentino had 1 assist with 26 penalty minutes in seven games with South Shore.
2011-12: Florentino skated for Neponset Valley in the Massachusetts select league in the fall before returning to South Kent for his junior season. In February he joined the USA U17 team for the 2012 U18 Vlad Dzurilla Tournament in Slovakia and he committed to playing college hockey at Providence in 2013-14. In 12 fall games he scored 1 goal with 6 assists and had a team-high 38 penalty minutes. In 36 games for South Kent he scored 5 goals with 14 assists and in three games at the Vlad Dzurilla tournament he had 2 assists with 4 penalty minutes. The USA U17 team finished first in the tournament. Florentino was selected by Moncton in the 10th round (170th overall) of the 2012 QMJHL Draft.
2012-13: Florentino attended USA Hockey's Select 17 Development Camp before returning to South Kent and skating for the Select Academy U18 team. Playing in the year-long program, he scored 21 goals with 32 assists and had 68 penalty minutes in 62 games. Select Academy's U18 team entered the US Elite Hockey League championship weekend as the top seed but after defeating the New Jersey Hitmen in the semifinals lost to the Junior Bruins in the championship game. Florentino was ranked 75th amongst North American skaters in the Central Scouting final rankings and was selected by Buffalo in the fifth round (143rd overall) in the 2013 NHL Draft.
2013-14: Florentino skated in 30 of 39 games for Providence College in his freshman season. He scored 5 goals with 6 assists and was +12 with 16 penalty minutes. The Friars finished third in Hockey East and advanced to the conference tournament semifinals, falling to New Hampshire, 3-1. Providence received an at-large bid to the NCAA East Regional, defeating Quinnipiac, 4-0, before falling to eventual national champion Union College, 3-1, in the regional final.
2014-15: Florentino attended USA Hockey's U20 evaluation camp in Lake Placid and was one of the eight defensemen invited to the main camp before being one of the squad's final cuts in December prior to the 2015 World Juniors. Returning to Providence College for his sophomore season, Florentino was paired with junior Tom Parisi — the Friars' top scorer amongst defensemen — much of the season. Providence finished tied with Boston College for second in Hockey East during the regular season, receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament despite falling to New Hampshire, 2-1 in overtime, in the decisive third game of their Hockey East quarterfinal series. Florentino scored 2 goals with 10 assists and was +9 with 23 points in 36 games heading into the NCAA tournament.
Talent Analysis
Florentino is a well-rounded prospect who is often praised for his leadership qualities and physical, hard-hitting brand of hockey. He has a heavy point shot that hits the net on a consistent basis. Florentino can skate pucks out of danger from his own zone. His hockey sense and technical skills need further improvement and polishing. Florentino has the prototypical size and attitude of a punishing defender with some skating and technical skills
Florentino skated for Providence College as a sophomore in 2014-15. The Friars were one of the top teams in the country—finishing tied for second in Hockey East with Boston College and receiving an at-large NCAA tournament berth. Florentino's overall game remains a work in progress in terms of consistency and positional play and he will likely spend at least one more season in college before signing a pro contract, but he certainly possesses some top-four potential. Long-term he figures to bring a nice combination of combativeness and skill to the Buffalo lineup and should fit in well with the other young defensemen in the Sabres' system.

Nothing's going to stop Kyla…
until the ground crumbles beneath her feet.
Kyla Justice has arrived. Her company, Justice Construction, is one of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful companies in the Pacific Northwest. And yet, something is missing. Not until she's called on to build a center for inner-city kids does she realize what it is: her sense of purpose. Now nothing can stop her, not the low budget, not supply problems, not gang opposition, not her boyfriend's suggestion that she sell her business and marry him–and most especially not that disagreeable Rafael Murphy.
Rafe Murphy understands battle. Wounded in action, this Force Recon Marine carries the scars–and the nightmares–to prove it. Though he can't fight overseas any longer, he's found his place as a warrior in the civilian world. So he soldiers on, trusting that one of these days, God will reveal to him why Rafe survived the ambush in Iraq. That day has arrived.
Kyla and Rafe both discover that determination alone won't carry them through danger and challenges. When gang violence threatens their very foundations, there's only one way to survive: rely on each other, be real–and surrender to God. In other words, risk everything…

It will be exactly the same as the movie just adding or changing some little parts in the movie like SPOILER IS COMING UP AHEAD SO SCROLL DOWN OR SOMETHING! changing how Stoick died, and adding more hand on hand action in the movie which I wish they had more of...
-Collaborating with a fellow deviant to write a story where Runa will appear along with Jack, Merida, and their son, Punz and Eugene, and their daughter, and voila. Pretty much will be how Runa starts off as an outcast like Hiccup when he was her age, and wants to be something more than a loser, and there's going to have a war between the vikings, and the Scots. (Still have to check if she's still on board to write it)
-Rewrite Frozen by adding Jack Frost in it along with of course the baddest of them all Pitch Black! Hell yeah! I'm not planing on putting Jack, and Elsa as a couple in the end. Just helping each other out, changing a few things in the movie, etc.
-Writing a complete original fanfic about two teenagers a guy named Alex, and a girl named Megan that are best friends that work for the military, and have magical powers awesome fighting skills, and have their job to kill people, or if they go easy... arrest them.

MEN'S BASKETBALL: Warriors give Homecoming crowd a win Wednesday over SIC
Rend Lake College's Dawson Verhines (Woodlawn) is fouled down the stretch of an 85-81 Homecoming win over Southeastern Illinois College. The Warriors hit key free throws late in the game to help secure the victory. CLICK HERE for a larger image.
INA, Ill. – Rend Lake College freshman point guard TeNale Roland's 31 points fueled an 85-81 Homecoming win over Southeastern Illinois College Wednesday night at RLC.
"This win felt good tonight," Roland (Louisville) said. "We came out and played defense. We had Kev [Fortney] back tonight, which was big for us on the defensive end, and Noel [Allen] stepped up big in the first half."
Allen (Guttenburg, N.J.) finished with 20 points and Fortney (Mt. Vernon) had 16. Dawson Verhines (Woodlawn) pitched in nine with Dominique Bolden (Chicago) scoring eight and Ameer Weeks (Chicago) helping the cause with one point.
Warriors Head Coach Randy House said SIC didn't shoot as well Wednesday night as they did in the Falcons' 92-78 win over RLC on January 21. At Homecoming, the Warriors held Quintrel Morris to only six points in the second half after the shooting guard put up 10 in the first. Robert Calmese also scored 16 for the Falcons, while Taiquion Beckett had 14 and Dominique Hagans had 15 for SIC.
"We shot the ball pretty well," House said of key free throws down the stretch Wednesday night. "We shot it a lot better in the second half from the line."
Roland came out a little cold – 20 of his 31 came in the second half.
"He's got to get loose and get in his groove," House said. "He's a winner and he plays hard. He is making better and better decisions with the ball. He is a fine kid and a fine player. We are fortunate to have him.
"It was a team effort," House added. "We were tied at the half and we ended up winning by four. I told the guys if we could get it to eight we'd be alright. But we never quite got it where we needed it to put the pressure on them to have to shoot something just a little bit quicker than they were."
With a three-point win over Lincoln Land College, Monday, in Springfield, House said the Warriors should be one of the top two teams in the region right now heading into the National Junior College Athletic Association DII Region XXIV Tournament in March. RLC, now 15-11 overall and 4-9 in the Great Rivers Athletic Conference, has three games left on the 2011-12 regular season schedule – all against GRAC opponents.
"We aren't going to win the conference, but we are working to get better each game," House said.
"Things are coming together really good at the right time," Roland added. "Our chemistry is getting better each game."
Rend Lake will host John A. Logan College at 3 p.m. Saturday. For all things athletic at The Lake, visit RLC online at www.rlc.edu/warriors.

The Presidential Race
A major contender in the presidential race is leaving it to join academe, at least in the dreamworld inhabited by Mark J. Drozdowski.
In many ways, President Obama's re-election represents a continuation. But he has already hinted at some of his higher education plans for his second term.
Newt Gingrich teaches Newt U. from GOP convention, and the classes are streamed online by KAPx, a new MOOC platform from Kaplan.
Higher education got plenty of notice in the GOP's presidential platform. Not so much at the convention, either from Republicans, students or protesters.
GOP's party platform calls out colleges for political and scientific bias, as well as out of control tuition hikes. It also takes a hard line on immigration and affirmative action.
Backlash to "college for all" heats up, again, thanks to the recession and presidential election. The counter-narrative sells in the media, and could hurt public funding of colleges.
The presumptive Republican nominee proposes loosening regulations on for-profit colleges, returning to bank-based student lending and consolidating federal grant programs.
A survey suggests the 2012 electorate in swing states cares more about education than it does about the deficit or taxes.
So far, the Republican front-runner has said little about colleges. But as governor, he quarreled with the UMass president, and more recently he has praised for-profit colleges.
Republican candidate repeats claim that Obama is "snob" for wanting all Americans to go to college, but in 2006 he seemed to endorse the same idea. And in 2008, he said Satan had his greatest success in academe.

Theory Into Practice
Volume 43, Number 4, Autumn 2004
pp. 274-280
Many students could learn more effectively than they do now if they were taught in a way that better matched their patterns of abilities. Teaching for successful intelligence provides a way to create such a match. It involves helping all students capitalize on their strengths and compensate for or correct their weaknesses. It does so by teaching in a way that balances learning for memory, analytical, creative, and practical thinking. This article describes how such teaching is done and provides data supporting the efficacy of the approach.

Endgame and Act Without Words
Not available
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time. Endgame, originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, is considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. A pinnacle of Beckett's characteristic raw minimalism, it is a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death.

Conspiracy theorists believe that the fluctuations in the World markets, major bank bailout and economic recessions are all caused by The Illuminati, an ancient, secret cult of the super rich. The Illuminati may also be hoarding money, ostensibly to either prepare for the post-apocalypse or to actually cause such a doomsday, in which they would emerge to create a one-world government.
Could the end of days truly be upon us? Members of the international elite – including the Illuminati – seem to think so, and have chosen the Ozark Mountain region of the United States to hide out from the apocalypse. The Conspiracy Theory team finds what appears to be construction on underground cities hidden in mountain caverns and tunnels, blocking off formerly public entrances with iron bars and heavy security. An apparent influx of banks in the rural region also seems suspect, but when they hear about round the clock construction on the biggest private house in America, reportedly built entirely of military grade materials and owned by a D.C. defense contractor, Jesse suspects something big may be happening here – just below the surface.
In Episode #4 of Season Three of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, Jesse and his team tackle one of the lesser known, but more timely of conspiracy theories: the "Ozarks" conspiracy.
The theory states that members of the Elite, or Illuminati, are preparing for a post-apocalyptic world by building secret, underground refuges across the Ozark Mountains region of the United States, which covers parts of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The more sinister version of this theory has the Illuminati building these underground fortresses in preparation for a worldwide catastrophe that they will initiate, themselves. The voice-over narration describes the Ozarks conspiracy as "a conspiracy to launch worldwide chaos" and part of an Illuminati plan to "take over the world from a post in the American Heartland."
Conspiracies regarding secret underground bases and fortresses being built and operated by the government, or in some cases, the Illuminati, themselves, have become more popular in the decade-plus since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on 9/11/2001. One of the most discussed conspiracies of the last several years on the internet alleges that the Denver International Airport has a massive, underground complex built underneath it, as Jesse and the team explored in Episode #7 of Season One of Conspiracy Theory: 2012 Apocalypse.
Reports have also spread around internet conspiracy circles regarding FEMA camp installations being prepared to imprison U.S. citizens during some sort of Illuminati-initiated catastrophe intended to lower global population and re-organize society under a "New World Order." These scenarios also have been explored by Conspiracy Theory, in Episode #4 of Season Two: Police State.

Im trying to use git extensions and I really like it so far, but I don't manage to push to github. The following command works fine in git bash:
git push "origin" master:master
and then when I push with git extensions I get this:
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe push "origin" master:master
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
In the git settings it just has openSSH selected which I would like to keep because putty seems more hassle.
The remote addres I have added in gitextensions, actually the only thing I have done from the bash just to test is the command above and gerenating the SSH keys. All else is set up in git extensions. So I suppose everything must be set up correctly. Eg, the email adress and name are correct...
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
also connects fine, from bash
So I can reproduce the error by putting the command from git-extensions in cmd. Appearantly there is a difference between running from git bash and from cmd and git-extensions runs this command like a windows command... any clues?
update: If I choose git-bash from the menu in git-extensions I get a window that is exactly the same as when I right click in explorer on my repo folder and choose git bash here. Now, in the one opened from explorer I can push and in the one opened from extensions I get the public key problem.

Article Summary
Walk barefoot on an asphalt road and you'll soon realize how good the substance is at storing solar heat – the heat-storing qualities of roadways has even been put forward as an explanation as to why cities tend to be warmer than surrounding rural areas. Not content to see all that heat going to waste, researchers from the University of Rhode Island (URI) want to put it to use in a system that harvests solar heat from the road to melt ice, heat buildings, or to create electricity.

What do OU wins over Texas mean to recruiting?
Carey Murdock
Related Links:
Talk about it in the oklahoma Message Boards
When the Sooners take on Texas this Saturday inside the Cotton Bowl, they'll be doing it with over 50 recruits sitting in the stands and countless others watching at home.
Some recruits expected to attend, such as Southmoore's D.J. Ward, Colleyville's Cody Thomas and Tulsa's Stanvon Taylor, are verbally committed to Oklahoma.
But there are several undecided recruits who will be sitting in the stands as well. One of the most highly regarded juniors in the state of Texas, wide receiver K.D. Cannon, is expected to attend the Red River Rivalry as a guest of the Sooners. Oklahoma is the home team in this year's OU-Texas matchup, and therefore, they are the team in charge of inviting recruits.
For players like Cannon, who has offers from Oklahoma and Texas, it's a chance to get a look at both teams in person.
But can a win or a loss affect his decision on where he might go?
"It is very important and it's obviously very important when you have a lot of players from Texas and Oklahoma on your team," said running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Cale Gundy, who also admits a win or a loss might only affect one or two recruits per season.
"My response has been the same for 20-something years. It certainly does not hurt when you win that football game," said defensive ends coach and former Longhorn coach Bobby Jack Wright of the questions about whether winning this game is important for recruiting. "Does it guarantee that you're going to get all the recruits you want? No it does not."
OU-TX/TX-OU does do one thing that is undeniable for recruiting at Oklahoma and Texas. It creates an attraction.
When Texas A&M entered the SEC, there was a fear the Texas high school floodgates might open for schools in the SEC. And even though teams like Alabama staged a season opening game in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington this season, it's impossible to ignore the appeal the Red River Rivalry has for recruits in the state of Texas.
"I think we do our best, both sides, to really sell it because it is special," said Bob Stoops about the relationship between recruiting and the Red River Rivalry. "We sure do talk about it and promote it. I don't know that anyone gets it until you're there. But we'll get a whole slew of them down there this weekend that will have a chance to see it. I think it is a big deal."
Since Stoops and Mack Brown have taken over the OU and Texas programs, this game has helped shaped the direction of the national championship more times than not.
This year might be a step down in terms of national significance, but the pageantry of the Texas State Fair, 90,000 fans creating a crimson and burnt orange split at the 50-yard line, television specials and an overall media circus in the Dallas Metroplex leading up to this game make it more than just another Big 12 Conference game.
"I don't think (winning) matters as much as seeing they can be involved in this whole craziness," he said. "It's pretty cool."

Winner-take-all politics: how Washington made the rich richer-and turned its back on the middle class
A groundbreaking work that identifies the real culprit behind one of the great economic crimes of our time–the growing inequality of incomes between the vast majority of Americans and the richest of the rich. We all know that the very rich have gotten a lot richer these past few decades while most Americans haven't. In fact, the exorbitantly paid have continued to thrive during the current economic crisis, even as the rest of Americans have continued to fall behind. Why do the "have it- alls" have so much more? And how have they managed to restructure the economy to reap the lion's share of the gains and shift the costs of their new economic playground downward, tearing new holes in the safety net and saddling all of us with increased debt and risk? Lots of so-called experts claim to have solved this great mystery, but no one has really gotten to the bottom of it–until now. In their lively and provocative Winner-Take-All Politics, renowned political scientists Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson demonstrate convincingly that the usual suspects–foreign trade and financial globalization, technological changes in the workplace, increased education at the top–are largely innocent of the charges against them. Instead, they indict an unlikely suspect and take us on an entertaining tour of the mountain of evidence against the culprit. The guilty party is American politics. Runaway inequality and the present economic crisis reflect what government has done to aid the rich and what it has not done to safeguard the interests of the middle class. The winner-take-all economy is primarily a result of winner-take-all politics.
Why the Rich Are Getting Richer
Read also: Winner-take-all politics: how Washington made the rich richer-and turned its back on the middle class
Increasing inequality in the United States has long been attributed to unstoppable market forces. In fact, as Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson show, it is the direct result of congressional policies that have consciously — and sometimes inadvertently — skewed the playing field toward the rich.
The U.S. economy appears to be coming apart at the seams. Unemployment remains at nearly ten percent, the highest level in almost 30 years; foreclosures have forced millions of Americans out of their homes; and real incomes have fallen faster and further than at any time since the Great Depression. Many of those laid off fear that the jobs they have lost — the secure, often unionized, industrial jobs that provided wealth, security, and opportunity — will never return. They are probably right.
And yet a curious thing has happened in the midst of all this misery. The wealthiest Americans, among them presumably the very titans of global finance whose misadventures brought about the financial meltdown, got richer. And not just a little bit richer; a lot richer.
The Fed's $16 Trillion Bailouts Under-reported
The media's inscrutable brush-off of the Government Accounting Office's recently released audit of the Federal Reserve has raised many questions about the Fed's goings-on since the financial crisis began in 2008.
The audit of the Fed's emergency lending programs was scarcely reported by mainstream media – albeit the results are undoubtedly newsworthy. It is the first audit of the Fed in United States history since its beginnings in 1913. The findings verify that over $16 trillion was allocated to corporations and banks internationally, purportedly for "financial assistance" during and after the 2008 fiscal crisis.
How Peer to Peer Communities will Change the World
In reality, the term P2P refers, since a long time now, to the range of solutions, paradigms and approaches focusing on co-design (collaborative design) and co-creation, openness and freedom: that is, each decentralized, shared, distributed, equal mean to provide free and open solutions to common problems.
The long-term goal is to facilitate the emergence and consolidation of peer made communities to play a new role, a role that is traditionally a prerogative of companies and industries, according to the model of capitalistic production of goods and services.
The peer production model stands quite in opposition to neoliberalism. Open, equal and participatory platforms and paradigms, able to put people in direct contact with each other, shown tremendous potential during recent years: with the mission to help other p2p alternatives to emerge and consolidate, the "Foundation for P2P alternatives" was founded by Michel Bauwens years ago.
¿Quién nos devolverá la vida pública, los bienes públicos, que nos están robando?
Hay que buscar las razones de la degeneración intelectual de parte de la clase política. Es un deber de la sociedad descubrir las razones ocultas de las privatizaciones. ¿Cómo recuperaremos lo que hemos perdido? El verdadero sustento de la sociedad, de la vida colectiva tan importante como la vida de la naturaleza, es la educación, la cultura, la ética. Ellas son las verdaderas generadoras de riqueza ideal, moral y material.
Desde hace años, de nuevo en estos días, como manifestación del menosprecio por la enseñanza pública y por sus profesores, se habla de la libertad de los padres para elegir el centro en el que educar a sus hijos. Esa defensa libertaria no tiene que ver con el deseo de que se practique en la educación una verdadera libertad: la libertad de entender, de pensar, de interpretar, de desfanatizar, de sentir. Libertad que, por encima de todas las sectas, debería fomentar la combatida Educación para la Ciudadanía y la identidad democrática. Una libertad que enseñase algo más que la obsesión por el dinero y por el solapado cultivo de la avaricia. A lo mejor, esa educación les obligaba a dimitir a algunos personajes de la vida pública, por vergüenza del engaño que arrastran y contaminan. Mejor dicho: haría imposible que se dieran semejantes individuos.
Ese sermoneo se funda sobre todo en el fomento de la privatización de la enseñanza que alimenta el dinero y la desigualdad. ¿Pueden gozar de esa libertad todos los padres? ¿También los de los barrios más modestos de las grandes ciudades? ¿Pueden ser libres para mandar a sus hijos a esos colegios privados? En el fondo, toda esa propaganda libertaria es fruto de planteamientos políticos, de dominio ideológico, de sustanciosos prejuicios clasistas, que con doble o triple moral predican libertad, cuando lo que realmente les importa, aunque quieran engañarse y engañarnos, es el dinero.

Shamsud-Din Haddad, 39, DC: "I came so I could be a part of history. My mother came to the original march, when she was 12. There is no better time for history to start than now. In 50 years, we should have a unified agenda to combat recent changes, especially in the changes in voter laws."
Kimberly Williams, 43, Charlotte, N.C.: "I came because my family is very strong on civil rights. We have the media and I love the media. We also need people to authenticate the message on a grassroots level. I'm here to take back what I saw and heard—to keep it real. The recession put us all on the same playing field, I hope in 50 years, we'll continue to come together for the greater good."

A joint venture ASC will incentivize all of the parties to openly evaluate the merits of introducing certain specialties and procedures and most importantly expand the level and mix of physician participation as well as the referral base. The expectation is that the parties should use the opportunity to also aggressively recruit physicians who may not currently be affiliated with the hospital. This component will significantly contribute to the growth of market share. An ASC development and management company will likely have greater success to attract "non-admitting" surgeons who otherwise may be more reluctant to respond simply to overtures by the hospital or physician group.
An additional advantage of the joint venture model is that there will be greater certainty that the facility and specifically the number of ORs will be "sized" appropriately, based on the projected volume and types of cases that will be performed. It is not infrequent that some physician groups or even hospitals may overstate projected volume based on optimism or inaccurate information provided to them. The third partner, i.e., the ASC development and management company, can provide the objective analytical validation that will mitigate against false assertions. Failure to rigorously scrutinize the projections will inevitably have profound and dire financial consequences.
Shared objectives
Increasing shareholder value should be the predominate concern of the joint venture. This can be accomplished though implementing different programs and services designed to lower the cost of the provision of care. Success will only be realized when the partners share in the risks and rewards associated with ownership. At different intervals, opportunities may present themselves for the partners to sell a portion or the entire ASC. The benefit of an ASC development and management company partner is that it can work on behalf of the partnership to maximize the value of the venture by expediting the analysis and due diligence that will help determine whether there is any benefit to such overtures.
Given the current and anticipated economic and regulatory environment, progressive hospitals and physician groups will increasingly see the benefit of collaborating through such structures rather than attempting to grapple separately with these challenging market conditions.

Canon 5D Mark III: tips for using your digital camera
So you think you know how to use your Canon 5D Mark III? Like many of us, you may have a DSLR or compact system camera but tend to use only a handful of your its features.
In our ongoing review of some of the more popular current and 'out of date' Canon cameras, we want to help you better harness the creative potential of your camera.
Call them camera tips, or call it a user's guide to your favourite Canon camera. The advice below comes from experts who have used the Canon 5D Mark III and know this DSLR inside and out.
If you have your own Canon 5D Mark III tips you'd like to share, post them in the comments below. What we want to build is an ever-growing user's guide for the Canon 5D Mark III that comes not from a press release or a lab test, but from the photographers who shoot with this DSLR (read more DSLR tips or read about another Canon DSLR).
We want to inspire you to twist the mode dial and move beyond your favourite settings and functions and get more out of your Canon 5D Mark III starting today!
Tip 1 AF point selection
The 5D Mark III has shedloads of focus points. If you frequently use one of the outer ones, head to the fifth page of the pink AF menu and make sure that Manual AF pt. selec. pattern is set to 'Stops at AF area edges'.
Tip 2 Multi-function button
New to the 5D line, the M-Fn button near the shutter release can be assigned to a setting you need quick access to. We suggest using it as the flash exposure lock (FEL) function, or for instant movie recording.
Tip 3 HDR mode
In a Canon first, the 5D Mark III can merge three shots in-camera to create a high dynamic range (HDR) image. Shoot in RAW+JPEG mode, and the three Raw files will be recorded separately, so you can process them later.
Tip 4 Rate button
Short on time and don't fancy rating all your images in-camera? Change the Rate button's function to Protect instead – you can then just highlight the frames you want to keep, and delete everything else from the memory card.
Tip 5 Autofocus points
If you're a little fazed by having all 61 AF points available for selection, consider switching to 15 points. This number offers a good compromise between coverage across the frame and the speed at which you can shift the active point.

212th CSH Soldiers test skills, support Reserve troops
November 2, 2009
By Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Fincham
Story Highlights
- 21th CSH trains side-by-side with Task Force Med Falcon Soldiers
- Completed five live surgeries, saw more than 200 live sick-call patients
Turning an empty parking lot into a fully-functioning combat support hospital is no small feat. Complete with an operating room, intensive care units, EMT stations, a full pharmacy and lab, along with a chapel, laundry service, signal center, maintenance sections, and dining facility - a CSH is practically a self-sufficient operating base.
Having the entire place set up in a mere 72 hours was just another example of the Soldiers of 30th Medical Command's, 212th Combat Support Hospital setting the standard.
Headquartered out of Miesau, the 212th CSH deployed to the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels recently, to demonstrate the readiness of the unit and to exercise the crucial tasks involved with deploying to a field site, establishing a hospital and conducting various sustainment operations.
Complete with mass casualty events and integrated with various other army warrior tasks, the month-long training also served as an opportunity to assist with the preparation of the Soldiers of Task Force Med Falcon, according to the hospital's executive officer.
"We, as the 212th CSH, are here operating under a notional exercise to prepare for any future possible deployments," explained Maj. Joseph Bowman, 212th CSH XO. We also have the dual mission of preparing TF Med Falcon for their upcoming deployment to Kosovo."
This was a prime opportunity for the Army Reserve Soldiers of the Task Force to build their team while gaining experience working alongside one another.
"It's more of a hand-in-hand FTX. Notional, scripted events take place while at the same time providing subject matter experts and real-world facilities for the reservists of TF Med Falcon before they go to Camp Bondsteel," said Bowman.
While the JMRC afforded the Soldiers of 212th CSH and TF Med Falcon the opportunity to execute safe and realistic training, it also enabled them to incorporate real-world scenarios into the FTX. While at the JMRC, the hospital saw more than 200 live patients on sick call, and conducted five live surgeries.
The numerous missions taking place at any given time and at various locations in and around the hospital, every function relies on several separate missions to ensure overall success. In the case of the combat support hospital, this success will lead to saving Soldiers' lives.
