Graduate Study in Medical Anthropology and Global Health
Medical Anthropology and Global Health (MAGH) is a very broad, interdisciplinary new field of study, encompassing scholars from all branches of anthropology who examine a wide variety of specific topics relating to health, illness, and healing from sociocultural, biocultural, clinically applied, public health, and other related perspectives. Although this is not a separate program at the
Medical Anthropology was not named as a specialization until the 1970's. Anthropologists have long considered aspects of health and healing, medical practices, knowledge and beliefs as part of total culture of people they studied. The discipline gained impetus and support after WW II from applied work in the area of international public health – the exporting of Western medical beliefs and practices.
Today, Medical Anthropology is the fastest growing sub-field of Anthropology. It is an area of specialization in each of the discipline's four core sub-fields (sociocultural, biocultural, linguistic and archeology). Medical anthropologists are dedicated to research, teaching and practice relating to health and all ways in which health is maintained, experienced, promoted and threatened in societies everywhere, including our own now and in the past.
Sociocultural and biocultural anthropologists employ different methods and draw upon different traditions of research, but share a common commitment to documenting, understanding and addressing how health and illness are produced in different communities, cultures and societies. From a wide range of approaches, medical anthropologists study how health problems, health inequalities and health systems are shaped by and reflect specific historical, geographic and political-economic contexts and change over time. Ethnographic, biomedical and epidemiological research alike work to generate empirically grounded, conceptually sophisticated, analytically powerful accounts of people's words and deeds, their aspirations and struggles, their embodied suffering and their efforts to address it, by situating them within the increasingly interconnected global environment.
The best summary statement we can make is, "There is not just one medical anthropology; there are medical anthropologies". We need to understand the diversity of theoretical perspectives within the field to help us understand why certain questions about health and illness have been asked and answered in certain ways. We can think about theoretical perspectives as both tools and fashions. On one hand, different perspectives are more useful than others for answering a certain question or addressing a certain problem. However, perspectives and approaches within the field have come in and gone out of favor, emerge at a particular point in social history, are challenged, built upon, improved. Decades of vigorous debate over the important issues at stake in how to define contexts for understanding leave anthropology particularly well positioned to make important contributions to the study of health problems that are both irreducibly global and stubbornly local.
Graduate Study
Graduate study in Medical Anthropology and Global Health harnesses expertise in diverse dimensions of health within the Department of Anthropology and across the
Anthropology also has strong ties with centers and departments across the
- Epidemiology
- Nursing
- Health Services
- Medical History and Ethics
- Nutrition
- Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology
- Global Health
- Center for AIDS Research
Students in the MAGH area of specialization acquire skills in traditional theoretical foundations in anthropology and their relevant methods, as well as newly emerging cross-disciplinary approaches to population health studies that integrate local and global contexts.
Which graduate program is right for you?
While MAGH students share many interests in common, the core training in each program differs.
In the Biocultural Anthropology Program students receive training that integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches to understand the cultural and biological factors influencing human health and well-being. Students have the opportunity to study cutting-edge analytical techniques, such as network analysis and other modeling techniques for examining population variation in disease burden, as well as behavioral dimensions of the spread of infections such as HIV. Students may also train in the use of field-friendly biomarkers that allow for health assessment at the population, rather than the clinical, level. Additionally, many students take a critical approach to the impact of health policy and intervention, and often integrate life history theory or evolutionary medicine with public health perspectives, suggesting understandings of disease and intervention strategies that might otherwise seem counter-intuitive. This prepares students for careers in either applied or academic fields.
In the Sociocultural Anthropology Program medical anthropology emphasizes the diversity across space and time of health ideas, beliefs and values in creating health systems, systems of illness classification, health disparities and medical programs and procedures for curing illness and disease. The sociocultural approach to Medical Anthropology also examines the role of cultural differences in defining and dealing with health and illness and investigates the health related factors that link humanity cross-culturally through common needs. Broad sociocultural approaches include the study of belief and ethnomedical systems, the social construction of illness and social production of health and health disparities, healers in cross-cultural perspective, culture, illness and mental health, and critical medical anthropology.
Students specializing in Medical Anthropology and Global Health are admitted to one graduate program, but may take courses in both Biocultural and Sociocultural Anthropology.

LAKEWOOD, Ohio -- The Lakewood fire department is preparing for the possibility that temperatures will dip low enough for Rocky River to freeze on Monday afternoon, firefighters said.
If the river does freeze, Gilman advised against walking or skating on the ice. He said the rapid temperature change coupled with the fact water would still be flowing beneath the surface would make any ice that does form unstable.
"People get curious and walk on the ice," he said. "But you won't have good ice, especially on a moving body of water."
The department will also be on the lookout for ice jams at the mouth of the river, Gilman said. If pieces of ice get caught at the mouth and create a logjam it could result in flooding, he said.

Published on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Fears that airline flight crew would stage a mass walk-out across Europe today in protest over plans to change their flying time and rest periods appear unfounded as pilots and cabin crew decided against industrial action.
Instead, British pilots will present a dossier of evidence about pilot fatigue to 10 Downing Street, the CAA and the Department for Trade as part of the Europe-wide "walkout for safety" day. No strike action is planned.
The British Airline Pilots Association has already warned that as many as four out of 10 pilots have fallen asleep at the controls and it will tell the Government today that current proposals by the European Aviation Safety Agency to introduce the same working hours for pilots across the EU will make the situation even worse as they are more permissive than those already in place in the UK.
The European Cockpit Association (ECA), which organised the protest day, said flight crew would be taking similar action across the Continent.
Pilots are opposing the adoption of new European rules for flight limitation and rest requirements, which they say will make flying less safe by relaxing the stringent rules that already exist.
However, the Association of European Airlines, the European Regions Airline Association and the International Air Carrier Association insist that the proposed changes do not represent a relaxation of existing rules.
They claim the new rules bring all countries into line on flight limitation requirements and even include some new and more restrictive requirements.
By Linsey McNeill
The International Air Carrier Association?! It's not a real organization.... it's just some scammy association of low-cost airlines. Of course they want their crew to fly longer for less.... safety takes a back seat for them, no doubt.
By Brett Tabor, Wednesday, January 23, 2013
""They claim the new rules bring all countries into line on flight limitation requirements and even include some new and more restrictive requirements"" May well be true - some European countries currently have NO Flight Time Limitations (FTL), relying on the airline's own system not to endanger the public. Others, like the UK, have well established limitations, scientifically researched and based on fact. Instead of 'levelling' at this high standard, EASA is 'dumbing down' to the wish lists of the airlines. Even more bizarre, on the other side of the Atlantic, the FAA, post Colgan Air crash, is making sweeping changes to its FTL's, to make them even MORE onerous. For a true 'level playing field', this EASA move should be paused, the FAA research and conclusions studied, and a COMMON WORLDWIDE (or at least FAA/EASA) standard set. For the safety of us all.

After years of hopes and dreams, discussions and meetings, planning and funding, the Fullerwood Park neighborhood will get the playground it wanted for so long.
Located along Hildreth Avenue, preparations are nearly finished on the 19,740 sq. ft. playground which is part of the site of the former Fullerwood Elementary School. The building was closed as a public school in the mid-1980's, used by St. Johns River Community College for 10 years, and now is the site for several offices of the St. Johns County School District.
Members of the Fullerwood neighborhood have met several times to discuss playground equipment and have offered many suggestions to city staff responsible for the design, purchase and installation of the equipment.
Individuals and community organizations are showing their support with cash contributions towards the equipment. Ms. Gina Burrell, a nearby neighbor and one of the earliest advocates for the park, has contributed funds for a bike rack for the park. Also, the Kiwanis Club of St. Augustine donated over $600 for a basketball hoop and backstop. Others wishing to contribute may do so by contacting Mark Knight, City of St. Augustine, P. O. Drawer 210, St. Augustine, FL 32085.
For many in the area, the Fullerwood Park playground will bring back to the neighborhood something it has not had in over 20 years: the sound of neighborhood children at play in a neighborhood playground.

Here's a letter I just sent off to my local rags:
I weep for the victims of Sandy Hook, and for all those who preceded them. My sadness however turns to rage when I think of how easily such events could be prevented or stopped before there is such a huge loss of life. Hundreds if not thousands of lives could have been saved, and could be saved in the future, if only these sick criminals did not have the opportunity to act in advertised "gun free zones." Very few mass shooter events have happened where citizens have not been barred from lawful armed self defense. Schools, colleges, malls, government buildings and states with restrictive firearms laws have all been the locations that deranged gunmen have felt safe to dispense death on a horrendous scale. Gun control has been proven to be an abject public policy failure. States with relaxed gun laws are consistently ranked at the low end of crime data tables. Now is the time to face the inconvenient but obvious truth that the possible presence of armed citizens reduces the chances of suffering all types of violent crime. The Principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School exhibited a warrior's heart when she rushed the shooter on December 14, 2012. She just did not have the tools necessary to effectively defeat him, and died an heroic yet needless death in the process. He went on to murder 20 children and five other adults. Our legislators must eliminate "gun free zone" laws which only affect the law abiding, and empower the citizenry to act against deadly threats. The criminal views such laws with contempt, and empowerment. Until medicine and society find a solution to evil, evil must be met with force. When I next drop my young sons off at school, will we be forced to die like sheep? I cannot deny the possibility, because my gun will be locked under my car seat, instead of on my belt, as required by law. As a father, as a law abiding citizen, this is simply unacceptable. Yes, I weep, not just for the victims, but also for the lost opportunity to save lives and stop evil.

Interesting factoid:
75% of murders in the USA are committed with handguns.
4% with shotguns/rifles.
The ONLY answer to these kinds of attacks is "ARMED VICTIMS".
Michigan appears to be working on common sense laws...
... Allow concealed pistols in so-called "gun-free" zones -- such as churches, schools and sports stadiums -- for those who receive extra training.
The smart politicians need to be pushing for these kinds of changes in gun laws!

Here's a great site with "gun control" stats - Gun Control - Just Facts. But, when it comes to fear / emotion (as opposed to logic), it won't matter to most people what the facts really are.
Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.
6 percent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes during the week were drunk driving crashes, compared to 31 percent on weekends.
Alcohol impairment among drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2010 was four times higher at night than during the day.
Should we ban vehicles, alcohol, weekends or night time? Maybe we should just ban 'em all to be safe...
I hate to get in the middle of the politics behind this awful event but to no big surprise, CNN has increasingly concentrated on the guns used as the day has gone on and the "reporters" are increasingly injecting their opinions on gun control into their "reporting" therefore I sent them the following short email even though I know it will do no good. I just wanted to let them know that I have an opinion too and that as news reporters I should not be getting their opinions forced on my while trying to get more information on this tragedy. Here is what I wrote them.
"Please stop calling your show Newsroom if you are going to keep repeating your ill conceived opinions about gun control. If you are truly a reporter you have no business offering your opinion on the air. You are to report the news. Nothing more. Nothing less.
My heart breaks for the victims, their families and the community of Newtown, but I just don't see how this awful tragedy could have been avoided with further gun control measures. Connecticut has some of the most strict gun laws in this country and these laws did nothing to stop this massacre.
Criminals are not concerned with breaking laws and therefore further laws restricting gun ownership will only affect law abiding citizens, making it even more difficult for us to effectively defend ourselves against the evils of this world.
Instead, we should be looking more deeply into the issue of mental illness and proper treatment of the mentally ill before tragedies like this can happen. The signs are there long before a violent outburst occurs but the friends, family, co-workers, school system, etc. either are not paying attention or choose to ignore the signs."
In the latest news release, the two handguns were never fired, and in fact, all shots were fired from the Bushmaster.

Everyone is looking for an answer, so a tragedy like this would never happen again? Post the Ten Commandments in every classroom and recite them with the pledge of alligance...My 2 cents
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Everyone needs to step back, take a breath, and try to relax.
Our hearts have all skipped a beat and we have been numbed yet again, by a real-life horror.
When I first heard my mind went blank. Chills ran up my spine. I called my wife, my children, and other loved ones to just say I LOVE YOU!!
How could someone perpetrate such an inhumane act, as gunning down a classroom full of kindergartners?
Upon hearing of this travesty, we all instinctively rush towards the Five-Ws; who-what-where-when-and fore most why? Its human nature.
From the very first Breaking News reports, to todays most current news, the reported facts of this tragedy keep changing.
The shooters name, how many injured, who was hurt, how many lost their lives, how many perpetrators, what did the shooter use, how did he get in, how did he obtain the firearms, etc??
First they reported he used an AR because they found a .223 spent casing. Then they said he only used two handguns. Now they say they found an AR in the trunk of his car but he didnt use any rifles, just handguns. First it was he only used used two, then four, then three, than again only two handguns.
Maybe that spent .223 brass found on scene was from an LEO that saw him and put a round or two in him for good measure?
And yet again now, the latest reports are now implicating that: A) the shooter was at the school days before his rampage and had confrontational words with some of the staff. B) the shooter then went to a local sporting goods store to buy firearms but had to abide by the required waiting period laws so he canceled his purchase. C) because of the schools security system he forced his way into the school. D) because he couldnt legally purchase the firearms he wanted to use within his heated time frame he stole them from his Mother.
Referring to B above, it appears that the gun-laws now emplace did their job and do work because in his heated sick mind he had to wait out the cooling-off period. So he was forced to commit a crime by stealing firearms to commit his sick act of terror, which in doing so, Im guessing, that his Mother tried to resist and he was possibly forced to unfortunately murder her now too??
Did he killed his own Mother to steal her guns to do this? .what a sick < the moderators wouldnt allow such a noun >.
So what new gun laws, that are not already in place, would of or could have prevented this?
We need to step back and yes ..wait for all the pieces to fall into place. Why? Because, the PIOs release of information keeps changing as their investigation continues. But instinctively, as human sociology prevails, we search for some explanation, to feed our need for instant gratifications, to satisfy our curiosity, and too help relieve that punch in the gut we felt upon first hearing about this tragedy.
With every passing moment as the LEO community continues too dig deeper, at every follow up presser, some new facts are released and some previous ones change to correct any post misinformation.
So try and relax, as hard as it is, because it may take days, weeks, or months for the real facts to come out, and some things may never be released.
Take time now, to hug your loved ones. Take time now, to enjoy doing happy things and spend quality time with your children. Tell all those you know: I Love You!! Live is too short not too. Life is too short to hold grudges. Call someone right now and say: I love You!! Im thinking of you!!! Lets get together soon!!!! So before it is too late, just do it so you dont regret not doing so.
Heres a new Gun-Law to consider. Remember the Guardian Angels? Well maybe if we were allowed to form a Sheep-Dogs Alliance and through acquired training, they could shoulder AR15s in public, crap like this could be avoided?
Please be safe out there people!!
And; God .help those affected by this horrid act get through it, if that is even possible. All those children and adults lost, words cant explain that sorrow, that hollow whole in the hearts of those whom lost their loved ones and dear friends, can never be healed and they will never be forgotten.
What an awful day for humanity.
What an awful assault on mankind.

If your fitness routine is getting stale, try the free "Mix and Ride," class on Tuesday, May 15 at Equinox South Beach, where DJ Mr. Sandman's music promises to kick up your workout in time for swimsuit season.
The event offers a new take on indoor cycling, which is one of the fitness club's most popular activities, says Geoff Bagshaw, Equinox's area group manager for South Florida.
Ever since it was developed in the 1980s, indoor cycling has gained its popularity because it offers features that recreational bike riding does not provide, notes Bagshaw. "Obviously, when you do indoor cycling, you don't have to deal with issues like inclement weather, traffic, crazy drivers, or a lack of hills. It's a safe and effective workout in a group environment," he added.
"With indoor cycling, you get both cardiac benefits and strength training. There's cardio, of course, but you also get strength-training benefits as well because you can simulate riding up hills," he also noted.
"There's a great sense of camaraderie. You form a communal bond where everyone is working hard towards a personal goal. You come out drenched in sweat, but with a real sense of personal accomplishment," he added.
Indoor cycling is also a notorious calorie burner. A normal 45-minute class can shed 400-600 calories, but the special "Mix and Ride," can burn 800 -1,200, he noted.
"DJ Mr. Sandman will chose from his section of fast-paced hits to get guest up and moving and motivate them every step of the way," he said. "Get your fist-pump ready, because this is the perfect class to motivate everyone for the start of swimsuit season," he added.
This free 90-minute indoor cycling event begins at 6:30 p.m. and is free event is open to both members and non-members. Two hours of complimentary parking at the Equinox garage on Fifth Street is included.
To register, call 305-673-1172 or email email@example.com

"We had some big plays, we've got some speed, and the kids performed well. They were in some one on one coverage and we were able to capitalize. Games are won by players, not coaches. We've got some pretty good players, and they're playing well."
On NIU's team chemistry as they move forward into the rest of the season...
"I think our kids are believing in each other. When you get a little confidence, things seem to fall into place. I think the kids are playing with confidence right now. We've got two more weeks. You can't listen to all the things people say, you have to keep getting better. We still can get better. That's the good thing, we can get a lot better."
NIU senior tailback Chad Spann
On today's win:
"It's a tremendous feeling. There was a lot of tradition in this game. It's a big game for both teams for our post season goals. To be able to have the showing we did and put up as many points as we did, it really feels good."
On beating Toledo with a high score after losing to them in a high-scoring game two years ago:
"I would have never thought it would happen. They always come to compete. Toledo is a great team and I think we are just really going to enjoy this win tonight."
Junior quarterback Chandler Harnish
On his performance:
"I think it just goes to show we have a team effort. You can't focus on one player. Once you focus on me, then you will have Chad [Spann] run all over you or Akeem Daniels, as you saw tonight. The wide receivers played a great team game, and again, it's all a team effort."
On reserve wide receiver Akeem Daniels:
"He brings just a type of speed that I don't think we've had here in a long time. To get on the edge like that I think it's just another dimension that you have to defend against us. Akeem is definitely positive for us."
On staying in a `groove' all season:
"We're playing football right now and not putting pressure on ourselves. We are taking it one game at a time. Honestly, my coach, Jim Zebrowski, has done a great job at keeping me relaxed and humble. I just go out and play every game."
On the quarterback draw:
"It's just something that we do and we do pretty well. The line has been doing a great job at executing the play. When you can throw the ball and run the ball at the same time it is tough to focus on any one aspect of an offense."
On picking apart Toledo's defense:
"They were trying to bring another safety in the box to stop the run. We saw some things there where we could go deep. We missed a couple, but we also hit a couple. To stretch them out a little bit and spread them out, that's where our running game really came into effect."
Freshman wide receiver Akeem Daniels
On his performance:
"It was amazing. I am not going to say I didn't think it was going to happen, but I also didn't know it would happen. I'm just thankful that I'm playing with these people--the offensive line blocking for me, a great quarterback like Chandler [Harnish] and [back-up quarterback] Jordan Lynch. I have running backs like Chad [Spann] and Ricky [Crider] blocking for me, it's just an amazing thing."
Sophomore free safety Tommy Davis
On his kick return for a touchdown:
"It had been there the whole game. It wasn't what I did--the guys up front were just doing great. I looked over to the sidelines and what really got me excited was I saw the double team had completely knocked the guy out of bounds. Once I hit the hole there was just nothing there. The hole had been there so I was excited to see it open up and I took advantage of it."
Toledo Head Coach Tim Beckman
Coach Tim Beckman opening statement...
"We got beat by a very, very good football team tonight. I think the credit needs to go to Coach Kill, his staff, and the Huskie football team. I thought they came out very aggressive and took us totally out of our game. The credit has to go to the way that they played."
On how the Huskies were able to take Toledo out of their game plan...
"It's the game of football. We didn't tackle well on defense, and to give up 65 points in a game like this is no way to be successful. I thought offensively a couple of things that we did were successful, we did some things we needed to do, but we have to play better defense to compete at a championship level."
On Toledo's defensive effort...
"I don't think we played very good at all on the defensive side. We gave up 334 yards on the run game, we didn't make plays, and we didn't tackle. We didn't do the things that were necessary to stop them. I'm not going to point my fingers on the kids, it was us as a coaching staff. We have to make sure we do better when we are in these situations."
On NIU quarterback Chandler Harnish...
"He's a heck of a football player. His leadership amongst his team, along with the way he was able to run the football and pass the football, I thought he had a heck of a football game and it proves why NIU has been so successful on offense this year."
On prioritizing the NIU offensive attack...
"We have to defend both [NIU quarterback Chandler Harnish and running back Chad Spann]. They're both outstanding players, quarterback and running back. I thought that Chandler did a good job getting the ball to his receivers and making plays with those guys. They kept their drives alive and kept scoring on us. The offensive line is as good as we've played against. They did an excellent job."

The Napa Valley Wine Train is one of the biggest and best-known attractions in wine country, with thousands of people riding and dining on it every year. Even so, I had never been on it until the other day when I rode it for the first time. Since the Wine Train is, after all, a train, and like all trains it runs according to a timetable, here is a minute-by-minute account of what it is like to take a trip on "Napa's most unique restaurant:"
10:42 a.m.
We check in at the downtown Napa station at 1275 McKinstry Street. First surprise: There are lots more people here than we expect. Second surprise: This is a real train station, with everyone milling around a lobby and gift shop listening to a voice on a loudspeaker instruct us on what to do. When the call comes to board my wife and I go out some doors and cross "Love Lock Bridge" where some 3,000 padlocks are hanging, placed there by couples as a symbol of how their hearts are sealed or locked in love for each other. Prior to boarding we get our picture taken—available for purchase, starting at $25—while posing in front of the train next to a wine barrel with plastic grapes.
11:06 a.m.
We take our seats in the Gourmet Express, an old-time Pullman dining car, and introduce ourselves to our tablemates Rich and Colleen, who are visiting wine country from Philadelphia. Some of the special events and all of the winery trips on the train, I learn, are "seated with others"—meaning, you may sit with people you don't know. But if you come in a party of four or if you take the standard lunch or dinner trip on the Silverado, Vista Dome or Gourmet Express cars, you will not have to share a table with strangers. As for us, we enjoyed chatting with people from out of town. The train is a social experience, with food and drink.
11:14 a.m.
Kayla, our server and "Car Captain" as it says on her Wine Train badge, makes her second appearance at our table. The first was to bring menus, take our wine orders and—nice touch—deliver warm moist towels for us to wipe our hands. Another nice touch is the basket of fresh bread that arrives warm to our table. After taking our orders Kayla explains how we will eat our first two courses here and then move to a different car for dessert. This is one of the hallmarks of the trip—Kayla or another Wine Train staffer keeping us posted on what is happening and what we can expect next.
11:28 a.m.
Two minutes ahead of our scheduled departure time, we start to move. Backwards! It is, to be honest, a little disconcerting—to be eating a salad (our first course had arrived by this time) while rocking gently on a moving train, which, of course, is going forward. It only feels like it's going backwards due to my seat at the table. But the train's movements barely phase Kayla, who reaches across the table to fill our water glasses and spills nary a drop.
11:37 a.m.
As we pass by homes, warehouses and empty lots on the outskirts of Napa, I notice something: more laughter in the car, voices rising, everyone more animated. Maybe the wine is just kicking in and people are relaxing. Here's my theory: The release of the train from the station releases some of our inhibitions, as if unmooring us from our routine daily lives. We're on holiday! (Although I'm told that the Wine Train has its own security staff that escorts every train in an automobile. They're there just in case a passenger gets a little too unmoored.)
11:44 a.m.
Talk about timing. Our lunches arrive—I'm not making this up—at the exact moment Napa Valley vineyards begin to roll past us out the window. I start with a noontime glass of Raymond Chardonnay, as does Jennifer. My entrée is roasted beef tenderloin on a vegetable-potato sauté in a Zinfandel reduction topped with horseradish cream, hers is grilled yellowtail with wilted spinach, fingerling potatoes, baby carrots and sliced avocado. "I don't what I'm cooking for dinner tonight," she says. "But whatever it is, it's going to be pretty pedestrian after this."
12:11 p.m.
Lunch is over and it is now time for us to move to the Merlot Car for dessert. "It's a good thing I didn't have much to drink," I think to myself as we set off—a tad wobbly at times, I'll admit, due to the rocking rhythms of the train—down the center aisle of the Gourmet Express, through an almost galley-style kitchen car and along a narrow corridor past the steps leading up to the glass-ceiling Vista Dome car. Twice we cross over the enclosed spaces where the rail cars are coupled together, finally plopping down in our comfy swivel chairs in the Merlot. These fine old refurbished Pullmans are rolling antiques, working relics from another era. In automobile terms, riding the Wine Train is like taking an afternoon spin on St. Helena Highway in a reconditioned Jazz Age Duesenberg.
12:16 p.m.
My favorite moment—and a romantic one at that. Standing with my wife in the Grappa power car, whose windows are open. We breathe in the fresh air and drink in the sights of this luscious wine landscape.
12:41 p.m.
Back in the Merlot for dessert. Mine is a crème brulee with four blueberries on top while Jennifer is having a tiramisu encased in a thin chocolate domed shell. Outside the window are grapevines and blue skies. As Edith Piaf sings "La Vie en Rose" over the sound system, life does indeed seem a little rosy at the moment.
12:55 p.m.
Ah, but time waits for no one—not on the Wine Train or anywhere else. Nicole, our new server and host, steps up to explain what is about to happen next. It's time for us to grab our stuff, leave the train and head off to the next stage in our adventure.
The Napa Valley Wine Train offers a variety of packages and tours for day and evening trips. A lunch or dinner trip for the three-hour, 36-mile round-trip between Napa and St. Helena is $109-$149. Tours of wineries such as Grgich Hills ($149) or Domaine Chandon ($169) can be added to the package. There are many special events too. Our trip is the Castle Winery Tour ($209-$249), which includes tastings and a tour of the epic Castello Di Amorosa in Calistoga. That is where we are headed.

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words - GlassFish Adoption in Europe
By pelegri on Apr 05, 2008
Open Source adoption in Europe is very strong, and we are seeing this through many customer engagements and also through through the GlassFish GeoMap Mashup, which is now 1 year old.
Alexis shows Growth Graphically through snapshots; for DIY folks, go directly to the GF GeoMap and poke around.
Note: The map is not including activity from GF instances downloaded through a NetBeans co-bundle. A big portion of our downloads are through NB's so we expect a very noticeable jump in activity when we fix the underlying problem, in NetBeans 6.1.

No Room For Blind Faith
Ron Friend
From: "Ron Friend"

Subject: New Membership
Date: Sunday, August 06, 2000 11:23 AM
Dear Cliff Walker
I am new to the theism v. atheism arena. My research centres on Theosophy, which, as you know, is a study of religion based on instinctive belief to attain conclusions by thought and reason. There is no room for blind faith.
It may sound like sitting on the proverbial fence and playing safe. In the absence of proof from either belief, there is no intention of appearing neutral. Rather, it is an attempt to rationalise the division.
If I was asked to make a definitive decision one way or the other, I would look to atheism as a logical conclusion. Having said that, one must respect the far greater majority, the theists, for their varied beliefs.
During the course of my, so far, unsuccessful writing career, I have used phrases in my books like: "...there must be a superior intelligence (rather than a God), to oversee evolutionary progress - a watchdog..." and "...what if the vast majority of human beings were mentally handicapped, rather than the other way round, a small unfortunate minority..."
That is a brief introduction to my views. I will formally introduce myself if my style and work is accepted. To which I respectfully ask that you would view my Home Page web site on Theosophy at www.friendr.freeserve.co.uk for a more detailed look at my ideas on this division.
I look forward to any comments, however they fall. Thank you. Kind regards.
Ron Friend.

It may sound like sitting on the proverbial fence and playing safe. In the absence of proof from either belief, there is no intention of appearing neutral. Rather, it is an attempt to rationalise the division.
We accept the "weak" definition for the word atheism. This definition says, "I lack a god belief." The "strong" definition says, "No gods exist." The "weak" definition implies at least two things that relate to what you've said here.
There are many other reasons for accepting the "weak" definition
for atheism which are summarized in great detail in George H. Smith's
"Defining Atheism."
If I was asked to make a definitive decision one way or the other, I would look to atheism as a logical conclusion. Having said that, one must respect the far greater majority, the theists, for their varied beliefs.
As an atheist of the Positive Atheism variety, I accept that each believer
has (or thinks he or she has) valid reasons for believing. I don't respect
them because their group is bigger than mine, I respect them because I've
been there and I know how fragile the human mind can be, and how complex
and persistent the temptation to believe can get.
I have used phrases in my books like: "...there must be a superior intelligence (rather than a God), to oversee evolutionary progress -- a watchdog..."
The Raelian Religion is an atheistic religion which teaches non-theistic, non-supernatural creationism. They claim that extraterrestrials were not allowed to experiment with DNA on their home planet so they found this one. Naturalistic evolution is much easier for me to accept than either this model or even theistically guided evolution. In any creationist scenario, we must face the question of who created the creator? In panentheistic terms, how did the order come to produce order? Contrary to popular belief, the natural sciences have explained these problems so simply that I really have no need to wonder if creationists have a point. I still do, though, because (I think) most of us cannot help it. This is why I respect anyone's decision to be religious.
You may also be interested in my dialogue with a naturalistic pantheist, who seems to be saying that there are no gods and no Anthropic Principle, and everything came about naturalistically. His only quirk (which, to me, was no quirk at all) was that he stood in such awe of nature that he was tempted to call it "god." We spent much of our time trying to hammer out whether his is a third alternative to a theism-atheism dichotomy. We agreed that, for the purposes of the "weak" definition for the word atheism, his view is a form of theism simply because he says that he believes in a "god" -- which he calls the universe. With the "weak" definition, remember, one either has a god belief or one does not; thus, a theism-atheism dichotomy is implied. This theist, though, seems to reject the notion of a "watchdog" or even an Anthropic Principle overseeing the evolutionary processes.
In a parallel conversation that occurred simultaneously with this one, we discuss possible differences between the terms paranormal and supernatural.
Here are two more world views for you to chew on -- two more exceptions to the rule, if you will.
I also realize that we are all in a constant state of learning (unless
one has become a fundamentalist of some sort). Thus, I have said things
even on this forum -- even as recently as a few months ago -- that have
been superceded by new knowledge. It is this willingness to submit to new
knowledge that marks one who respects scientific method. With Liberal Scientific
Method, one submits his or her views to the scrutiny of others. This is
akin to what I am doing here: I am submitting my ideas to readers, and
they are submitting their ideas to myself and to other readers.
... I have used phrases in my books like:... "...what if the vast majority of human beings were mentally handicapped, rather than the other way round, a small unfortunate minority..."
This is exclusivistic thinking even if it is true (and it very well may be true).
I have tempered the exclusivistic elements of my position by choosing to realize that all who believe have their reasons for believing. I refuse to see this as a "handicap" or any such thing, because I wish to preserve that dignity which is crucial to getting along.
The truth is, we are all "handicapped" in that we are all very fallible. This is no handicap at all (since we all share the same plight) unless one is seeing things from an idealistic perspective, not unlike that held by those Christians who hold Jesus up as (among other things) a perfect specimen of humanity, one to be emulated by the rest of us. To me, I am a perfect specimen of the human race in that I am perfectly human. This is what I think of the concept of perfection, and I think your use of the word handicapped here may betray this sense of idealism.
Another thing to remember is that the human brain is not in any sense bolted down securely. The growth of the neocortex, on an evolutionary scale, resembled the growth of a tumor. It is much larger than those of other primates, and is virtually nonexistent in other species. It's connection to the rest of the brain is superficial at best. For this reason also, I don't fault anyone for thinking the way they do, and would hope that others wouldn't fault me for thinking the way I do.

Just makes sense to me
By suncpo on Jul 28, 2009
Just a quick blurb from an exchange I was having with a very smart privacy diva that was worth sharing:
Data is an asset. You know. I know. CPO's know. Some CISO's know. soooooome lawyers know. Greed is an
excellent motivator that is not antithetical to ethics & this notion may be the primary way forward in these challenging times. The Cloud only serves to amplify this simple fact.
Fact is, Grace Hopper was right. Data ultimately will be on the balance sheet as it generates predictable outcomes and can be associated with profit or failure.
How to measure it? How to audit your Cloud provider to be sure they make a good accounting of it? This is where the normative value of best practices & standards will help us. This is where GRC measurement tools are critical. (By the way, in my mind "Governance" inherently includes "Compliance" and "Risk" but the acronym does persist so there you have it.)
I am very interested in being a part of these threads coming together to create something so practical and irresistible that it will seem obvious to the naysayers.
Just a thought while I procrastinate some more...

Portage, IN
Although Hayley Atwell reportedly said just last month she wouldn't be reprising her role as Peggy Carter in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it now appears those plans may have changed.
In an interview with Collider, her Captain America: The First Avenger co-star Stanley Tucci discussed how much enjoyed playing Dr. Abraham Erskine, developer of the Super-Soldier Serum, in the 2011 Marvel film. And while expressed disappointment that he hasn't been asked to return for a flashback, he revealed Atwell has.
"I'm really sad," he said. "I know that Hayley is going back to do a flashback scene, but I have not been asked."
Atwell would join fellow original cast members Chris Evans (Captain America/Steve Rogers), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier), Toby Jones (Arnim Zola) and Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), along with Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Anthony Mackie (Sam Wilson/Falcon), Emily VanCamp (Sharon Carter) and Frank Grillo (Crossbones).
Directed by brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, The Winter Soldier is believed to be based on the Captain America storyline of the same name, which revealed Captain America's sidekick Bucky Barnes didn't die as expected during the war. Instead, an amnesiac Bucky got snatched by the Soviets, fitted with a bionic arm and programmed to serve as an assassin known as the Winter Soldier. The secret is revealed in the present day after Barnes attacks the Red Skull and blows up part of Philadelphia. The film opens in 3D on April 4, 2014.
So it has been confirmed that Emily VanCamp will indeed be playing Sharon Carter?
I think Sharon Carter present day should be a black actress.
There's really no reason to believe otherwise. So far there has no been news of any new character not seen in the comics. Emily VanCamp has already been confirmed as the leading lady. It stands to reason that she's playing Sharon Carter.
So the Red Skull IS going to be in Captain America 2? I thought he wasn't.
That would be hard, but not impossible. That would mean Peggy would have to had a child with a black man, as Sharon is her daughter. With the racism of the past, it's easier to fathom for a white man to get a black woman pregnant (see Nick Fury II). Black men could have been accused of rape, even in a perfectly loving relationship. That's a big can of worms. Not sure if it makes a point about diversity or adds a dimension to the plot.
The Red Skull bit in the article is a synopsis of the comic book in which The Winter Solider first appeared. There's no reason they couldn't find a different way to introduce him.
YAY! Though, I'm not too excited for Capt. America 2. Emile Van Camp? No fucking thanks.

JWC TO KATE STERLING ; 13 August 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18530813-JWC-KS-01; CL 28: 248-249
5 Cheyne Row / Saturday [13? August 1853]
My dearest Kate
I have been living from day to day in a sort of "devout imagination" that you would come skipping in, and almost stifle me with kisses! but anything so extremely pleasant couldnt, I might have felt sure, come my way just at present when decidedly the tide in my affairs is flowing out not in— I have a whole novel in three volumes of disasters to tell you when we meet, ending (not the meeting but the novel) in a great crash amongst—not the ten commandments—but my—"what shall I say?—teeth! I have been in Scotland—and all went wrong with me there and I came home "quite promiscuously" two months sooner than I meant TO. Your first letter reached me in Liverpool as I went, and the second again in Liverpool as I returned—thank you Darling for both—better or welcomer letters couldnt be—from one woman to another—but I dont feel as if I could answer such nice long letters in writing—you must come and take the answers "face to face and soul to soul"—(god bless us how poetical!)—
It would have been a greater surprise to me than it was when his Captainship1 walked in one morning looking as black as thunder and ten sweeps into the bargain had not Miss Farrer told me the day before of his return and of the poor wifes new confinement— He was decidedly not improved in the temper by his long voyage—and would tell me absolutely nothing about anything; but that he left you all in the yacht and supposed you were at Cowes,2 After that I looked for you every day—nor do I know yet that you are at Headly— The Capt offered to take Mr C to the naval review but Mr C is no man for that sort of thing and refused the good the Gods had provided him thro the Captain Whereupon he il Capitano flashed off and I have seen or heard no more of him—now pray come up—I have a bed now to offer you—altho the work people are all on the roof building "a silent apartment" after all!!— They go up the outside of the house by ladders thank God—and wont come in, they promise, till the new stairs have to be made— We have a new Architect this time and things go on like fire—— If this house become uninhabitable again by and by—there is Addiscombe standing empty with one Maid in it—which Lady A with her usual practical kindness puts at our service— Meanwhile till I have bought myself a goose quill pen or two I can write with no expansion—for steel pens are and ever will be perfectly unmanagable to my fingers so the only chance you have to get at my history since we parted is to put yourself in the train and come here— Tell me what day you will come—and if you can sleep two in a bed Julia will perhaps come too—Lotta the Capt said was still lame with her ancle—so unless she would come to see a surgeon it might be pleasanter for her to come when she can walk—decidedly if the ancle is not mending fast she ought to show it to somebody—Settle it as you like—
Dalwig has been here for a fortnight and is now gone into Yorkshire Had he been coming about I should hardly have ventured to ask you. I spoke of you all, one day to him—in case he should feel the avoidance of your name as unpleasant as the mention of it— He smiled and looked down but did not blush as of old—not the least in the world— He blushed more when I asked to what part of Yorkshire he was going— I shall always think it a pity you didnt happen to like that man—he is to my notions very loveable—and grows so handsome and is such a thorough Gentleman—and then his friendship for Reichenbach is a thing belonging to the Romantic ages of the World, the Golden age— Well I hope your future Husband will please me as much and so goodby
with love to Lotta and Julia—and what is proper to Edward
Your affectionate /
Jane W Carlyle

This is straight up ridiculous. The Daily Paul has brought to my attention that Guyer High School in Denton, Texas is currently using a textbook that describes the 2nd Amendment as such:
Now this is what the 2nd Amendment actually says:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The Daily Paul correctly points out:
Did you catch the sleight of hand?
A militia is a body of citizens enrolled for military service, and called out periodically for drill but serving full time only in emergencies. It's a common man army of citizens, NOT soldiers. The citizens are called up in emergencies to protect the free State.
The 2nd Amendment says that a militia is necessary to protect a free State, so in order to be able to have a militia, the citizens have a natural right to keep and bear arms and the government cannot infringe on that right.
The textbook version implies that we're only allowed to keep and bear arms if we're in a State militia, a clear misrepresentation of the 2nd Amendment.
Anyone that has actually read the Bill of Rights, understands that they are very brief in text. There is absolutely no reason to ever abbreviate any of these Amendments considering how crucial they are to our civil liberties.
To demonstrate just how brief they are, I have listed them below:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

LIVE REPORT of protestors in emergency room. The daughter of Fatima (sa) is with you and her message
Zainab's message - "Any of you who are related to or committed to this family - anyone who is faithful to the mission of Muhammad (saww) - you must think and select - in every age, every generation, in whatever land you may be; you must listen to the message of the martyrs of Karbala who said:
'Those can live well who can die well.'
"You who believe in the message of divine unity and the Qur'an as well as the way of Ali and his family and you who will come after us, the message of our family to humanity is the art of how to live well and how to die well.
"If you are religious, you have a responsibility to your religion. A liberated person also has a responsibility towards human liberty. Witness your time. Witness the conflict between the truth and falsehood of your age. Wherever our martyrs bear witness, they are aware and alive and always present. They are a symbol and bear witness to the truth and falsity, the destiny and fate of humanity."
A martyr embraces all of these. Each revolution has two visages: blood and a message. Anyone who has chosen the responsibility of accepting truth, anyone who knows what a Hussaini's responsibility means, anyone who understands the responsibility of the freedom of humanity, must know that in the permanent battle of history -,everywhere and everyplace, all fields - are Karbala, all months are Muharram, all days are Ashura and thus one must choose: either blood or bearing the message, to be either Husayn ('a) or Zainab, to die like Husayn ('a) or remain like Zainab, if he does not want to be absent and always wants to have presence.
Hussain and Zainab this brother and sister showed you the way to freedom but only you can make your destiny. If you take one step towards them they will take several steps to help you. Reclaim the true meaning of martyrdom freedom for all (and not to kill innocents on trains ), Freedom for Christian Muslims and all Egyptians. Do not forget those who have fallen and do not let their sacrifice be in vain for you and not give you maximum benefit. Freedom is round the corner seize the moment, seize your destiny and with the blood of those that you have lost Damn the miserable fate, Damn the slavery to Pharoes, Damn Mubarak and his thugs! Today is the day! There are no tomorrows unless Hayhat Mina Zilla! Hayhat Mina Zilla! Hayhat Mina Zilla!

HOOVER, Ala. – The LSU Tigers have been picked to finish second in the SEC West by the media attending Southeastern Conference Football Media Days.
The Tigers got the second-most votes for the overall conference championship. In both cases, LSU polled second behind Alabama.
Cornerback Morris Claiborne was the only LSU player selected as first-team All-SEC. Linebacker Ryan Baker and offensive tackle Alex Hurst are on the second team. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson is on the third team (behind Georgia's Aaron Murray and South Carolina's Stephen Garcia). Also on the third team are defensive ends Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery and cornerback Tyrann Mathieu.

A three-year-old, male, entire, Yorkshire terrier was presented with peracute onset of abdominal pain and vomitus. Clinicopathological abnormalities included severely increased serum lipase activity, immeasurably high serum trypsin-like immunoreactivity and mild hypocalcaemia. Canine pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (cPLI)
was intended to be measured, however, the sample got lost.
Ultrasonography revealed a hypoechoic pancreas with small
amounts of peripancreatic fluid and hyperechogenic mesentery. Acute pancreatitis (AP) was diagnosed and the dog recovered with appropriate therapy within 48 hours. Clomipramine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for alleviating signs of separation anxiety had been given for seven weeks. Two similar, albeit less severe, episodes associated with previous courses of clomipramine had occurred eight months earlier that responded to discontinuing clomipramine and supportive care. As SSRIs are associated with AP in human beings and no other trigger could be identified, we conclude that clomipramine should be considered as a potential cause when investigating causes for AP in susceptible breeds or other dogs presenting with compatible clinical signs.

Methodist Opens Center in Sugar Land
Methodist Health Center-Sugar Land opened its doors to patients on Monday, March 2.
The new 150,000-square foot facility offers a wide variety of services including a short-stay inpatient unit of 16 rooms; day surgery services, with a 12-room day surgery unit; a 24-hour emergency service for minor injuries; diagnostic imaging, cardiology, pulmonary, neurophysiology and mammography services; laboratory; and a pharmacy. The center has four day surgery operating suites.
Some finishing touches are added to the new Sugar Land
facility prior to the community-wide grand opening celebration, Feb. 28.
The cost of the project, including construction and medical equipment, was $35.5 million.
The 200-member medical staff is a blend of community physicians and members of the active staffs of The Methodist Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine. The facility will not be a primary teaching affiliate for Baylor College of Medicine.
A birth center with six birthing suites (for labor, delivery, recovery and post-partum) is also available to patients.
"Methodist Health Center-Sugar Land marks our first major step towards truly becoming a system of diverse health care services, reaching people and communities all around Houston," says Peter Butler, president and chief executive officer of Methodist. "Sugar Land is a first and it will set the standard in community health care and service for all of our future health centers."
"This health center truly will meet the needs of our growing, vibrant Fort Bend community and is designed with the family in mind," says Joan Damon, administrator of the facility.
Physicians and specialty services at the Methodist Health Center-Sugar Land include obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, primary care, internal medicine, family practice, orthopedics, general surgery, otolaryngology, pulmonary, gastroenterology, urology, neurology, ophthalmology, and anesthesiology. Adjacent to the center is a four-story medical office building; a similar professional building on the same land will have ground broken in April.
The Methodist Health Center-Sugar Land was designed by HKS, Inc.; the general contractor is Tellepsen Corporation.

The on-board handles pretty much everything in Windows (even Vista Aero) as it's the most powerful on-board solution to date.
When you start up a game, the discrete card will kick in on top of the on-board graphics to give you Hybrid Crossfire, which gives you a decent boost in certain games apparently, even more so because the on-board GPU on the above mentioned mobo is apparently a doozy to overclock without any extra need for cooling. Even though it's not as powerful as an HD3870 or even 3850, boosting the core from 500Mhz to about 700/750Mhz is nothing to sniff at, couple that with a decent mid-range GPU (HD3850/3870) and the mid-range isn't quite as dull anymore!
That sounds pretty much like what I'm looking for. Mid-range to high-end discrete card is in a powered off or very low standby power state while low to mid-range onboard GPU runs non-GPU intensive apps like general web browsing, e-mail, office apps, etc. But when GPU activity starts to hit 85-90% utilization or so then the chipset, GPU, or other h/w device powers up the discrete card and
onboard and discrete GPU's are used to render the display.
I'm not sure I'd go for the idea of the onboard GPU switching over to the discrete card and not being used until the GPU load drops enough that the switchback threshold is reached and the discrete hands off GP to the onboard again. I don't know, maybe there are technical limitations around running two GPU's with significant differences in GP computational capabilities but if that is the way it works it seems to me that this becomes a one-dimensional benefit of power savings instead of power savings with increased GP power. I look forward to reading in-depth reviews of hybrid GP products to learn more about how this works.
