By Yeshaia Blakeney
Is gratitude an evolved creative response to contingency/meaninglessness?
Would anything suffice other than ultimate mystery when reaching for the ultimate?
Love the closest worldly expression to that which is more than worldly,
Connection dances around truth to loose to be worthy,
Oneness was the revelation,
One is Hashem

Definition of cubism in English:
noun[mass noun]
An early 20th-century style and movement in art, especially painting, in which perspective with a single viewpoint was abandoned and use was made of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and, later, collage.
Example sentences
- The early analytic cubism of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque sought to capture the essence of subjects in 'simultaneous vision' by eliminating point of view, distance and lighting.
- Analytical cubism is generally considered the early phase of cubism.
- By 'Egyptian style' Rousseau meant the elements of African tribal art that Picasso and other artists had assimilated when they developed the art movement known as cubism.
Cubism was a reaction against traditional modes of representation and impressionist concerns with light and colour. The style, created by Picasso and Braque and first named by the French critic Louis Vauxcelles in 1908, was inspired by the later work of Cézanne and by African sculpture.
cubistnoun& adjective
- Example sentences
- With the arrogant humility of an important young artist, he schooled himself in the most advanced art of his time - notably the work of Picasso and the cubists.

The thief was described as black and in his early 20s, about 5 feet 9 to 5 feet 11 inches tall and 170 to 180 pounds. He was wearing a dark hooded sweat shirt, dark pants, black shoes with white trim and he had a black scarf over the lower part of his face.
No vehicle was seen.

text: A solar collector consists of a horizontal aluminum tube having an outer diameter of 2.5 in enclosed in a concentric thin glass tube of diameter 5 in. Water is heated as it flows through the tube, and the annular space between the aluminum and the glass tube is filled with air at 0.5 atm pressure. The pump circulating the water fails during a clear day, and the water temperature in the tube starts rising. The aluminum tube absorbs solar radiation at a rate of 30 Btu/h per foot length, and the temperature of the ambient air outside is 75°F. The emissivities of the tube and the glass cover are 0.9. Taking the effective sky temperature to be 60°F, determine the temperature of the aluminum tube when thermal equilibrium is established (i.e., when the rate of heat loss from the tube equals the amount of solar energy gained by the tube).

In recognition of the importance of environment in the national context, UNDP has prioritized energy and sustainable development with two underlying objectives: to advocate for a coherent and strategic vision on sustainable development; and to generate an increasing volume of grant funding for this sector to address critical national needs. UNDP launched its first full-fledged five-year environment programme in 2008, with the goal of including sustainable development principles into national strategies and policies. Since then, UNDP helped to promote a number of groundbreaking legislative initiatives on conserving fish, waste management, renewable energy sources, environmental code, energy efficiency and others.

The state agency that might be the final judge in whether a peripheral canal or tunnel is built will remain independent, officials announced Wednesday.
Gov. Jerry Brown had proposed shifting the Delta Stewardship Council under the auspices of the California Resources Agency, which is considering a massive canal or tunnel to divert water around the Delta.
Critics said that move would have stripped the council of any appearance of independence.
The shift - part of a much broader reorganization proposed by the governor - was approved by the Little Hoover Commission last month, although the commission expressed similar concerns.
Resources Secretary John Laird announced Wednesday that the proposal had been dropped.
"The council agrees with the administration," said Phil Isenberg, Delta Stewardship Council chairman. "The decision will allow the council to remain an independent body. ... We appreciate this decision by the governor."

New York State Sets a New Renewable Energy Requirement
The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) adopted a new renewable energy policy on September 22nd that requires 25 percent of the state's electricity to be supplied from renewable energy sources by 2013. Although the state already produces 19.3 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources, primarily hydropower, the new Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) program will result in about 3,700 megawatts of new renewable energy capacity. The new requirement credits medium- and large-scale facilities that draw on wind, biomass, or ocean energy sources, as well as solar photovoltaic systems, fuel-cell systems, hydropower upgrades, and low-impact, run-of-river hydropower plants of less than 30 megawatts in capacity. The requirement also credits customer-sited fuel cells, solar electric systems, and wind turbines. The RPS program will start in 2006 with a target of roughly 1.3 million megawatt-hours from renewable sources, increasing to nearly 12 million megawatt-hours in 2013.
The PSC estimates that the RPS program will have modest impacts on customer bills, and should cause the state's wholesale energy prices to decline. Overall, the PSC estimates residential customers may see as much as a 0.9 percent reduction in their bills over the life of the program, or an increase of up to 1.68 percent. The projected impact on commercial customers ranges from a 0.78 percent reduction to a 1.79 percent increase, and for industrial customers, from a 1.54 percent reduction to a 2.2 percent increase.

Wide receiver Julian Edelman has been removed from the physically unable to perform list and is expected to practice today, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said.
Edelman suffered a season-ending foot injury in early December last year. He aggravated the injury in May and has not practiced since.
Edelman was sixth on the team last year with 21 receptions. With Rob Gronkowski sidelined, Edelman had more catches with New England last season than any other player currently taking part in training camp in Foxboro.

What kind of sound card do you got? Maunfacturer / model / chip? We
know it's an older one. Google for yours to find some info from past
users, issues, etc.
At a command prompt type:
$ whereis sndconfig
It's probably not installed. Red Hat stopped installing it with RH8,
since they considered the cards it configured were legacy. However,
my RH cd's did have the rpm. Look for something like
sndconfig-0.69-1.rpm or locate it at an rpm repository site.
Cards are old, code is old, so imagine no changes have been made.
Should work. You should run this outside of X if I remember.
Ctrl+Alt+F4 to get out of X, run sndconfig as root, Ctrl+Alt+F7 to
return to your desktop. You may need to log out and back in, or even
reboot -- can't remember.
Damn, this is the _4th_ time I've answered this today! Old cards
never die, I guess.

LAFAYETTE -- The cost of a proposed downtown bicycle and pedestrian pathway is giving some city leaders pause.
An update on the project received a lukewarm response from City Council members last week, who wondered where the city was going to find money to pay for and maintain the paths.
"That could be a real difficulty, may take some time," Councilman Brandt Andersson said.
The pathway would be built on East Bay Municipal Utility District land just south of Highway 24, stretching roughly a mile and a half from Risa Road east to Brown Avenue, through the heart of the city's downtown. The hilly terrain would require a number of switchbacks, and plans include a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Happy Valley Road.
Councilman Mike Anderson asked whether switchbacks were appropriate for a bicycle path. Ian Moore, a senior associate with consultant Fehr and Peers, said it was "less than ideal, but functional."
Council members, however, were more concerned with the project's costs, particularly the money the city would need for ongoing maintenance.
The pathway would cost more than $6 million to build and require as much as $40,000 each year in maintenance, according to the feasibility study the council reviewed last week. The city would likely have to secure grants to pay for construction.
The path's benefits -- better health for users, reduced auto use, higher property taxes and increased economic activity -- would outweigh the project's cost, Moore said. But he also acknowledged the difficulty of finding money to pay maintenance costs, and said he has cautioned other cities not to plan for construction "unless you feel ready to undertake the commitment to identify a reasonable local strategy to maintain a local infrastructure."
Anderson had doubts about whether the project's benefit really would outweigh its cost.
"For a lot of money, you're going to get something that's not going to get a lot of use -- that's my view on it," he said.
The pathway will benefit a downtown the city expects to grow, Mayor Carl Anduri said.
"Given the pressure that's going to be on our downtown area, having this alternate pedestrian/bicycle path is going to be very useful," Anduri said.
But, he acknowledged, "The maintenance is a huge problem."

Faculty, staff and students at Choctaw County High School are continuing to mourn the loss of one of their own.
17-year-old Justin Lewis died in a car accident prior to the start of school Friday. He was a senior at CCHS and a member of the Tiger football team.
To help deal with the loss, counselors are being brought in to the school and students have created their own message board on a wall to express their feelings.
"They are very responsive. Some of them like to do it in the form of drawing. Some of them like to do it in the form of writing to express how they are feeling, especially on the high school level," said Tikisha Brooks-Graham, a social worker at CCHS. "And we do have some that have been talking about it."
School officials say Justin's funeral is expected to be held Saturday in the gymnasium at Choctaw County High.

I am very happy I made the choice to sign onto MMT. I had 2.5 years sober (abstinence) and being an undertreated chronic pain patient made things difficult. So I chose to start taking opiates again and I noticed that things were spiraling out of control. I used to use IV before the first time getting sober and when I relapsed I didn't let it happen but I knew it was only a matter of time befor ... Show Full Comment

This treatment program, called "MMT" has truly saved my life, and has changed the relationships that I have with my Mother & my twin sister, all for the better.

I have to be honest and say that this was not the week I had hoped for. I absolutly treasure the time I have at home with my kids to do things like go to the park and pool. When things interrupts that groove it frustrates me to no end. This week we have spent everyday at duPont tying to save Gavin's brand spankin' new central line. Today we are going back once again to give a last effort before the line is pulled and Gavin has to go to the OR for another.
To make matters more frustrating Gavin is running a fever again and has been all week-- as always things are exciting. On a positive note we received approval fro Gavin's wheelchair -- now we just have to wait until it comes in. I am so ready to ditch the stroller as it is just a pain in the butt to maneuver with all the equipment hanging on the back.
Keep the prayers coming -- I have a feeling things are about to get even more exciting.

Black Populations and Economic Growth: An Extreme Bounds Analysis of Mississippi County-Level Data

Emory Law and Economics Research Paper No. 07-06
We use Mississippi county-level data on (per capita) income and the percentages of populations that are Black (henceforth Black) to examine the relationship between race and economic growth. The analysis is also conditioned on 40 other economic and socio-demographic variables. Given a negative and statistically significant partial correlation between income growth and Black, we ask if it is robust to exhaustive combinations of other conditioning variables (taken 3 at a time). The evidence suggests yes. Since even robust correlation does not imply causation, we then ask if other robust correlates with income growth play a roll in accounting for Black in the data. The answer "yes" is obtained for only one other robust correlate of the right sign: the percentage of a population that is below the poverty level.

Flights grounded as millions join EU austerity protests
First arrests in Madrid as Spanish and Portuguese lead day of action against cuts and tax hikes
THE Spanish government said early this morning that 32 people had been arrested and 15 treated for minor injuries in disturbances in Madrid as workers across Europe began a day of strikes and street protests again austerity measures.
Flights have been grounded, schools closed and transport networks shut down in the first coordinated protest against the combination of tax hikes and public spending cuts in the region, Reuters reports. The cost to business of the day of action is likely to run into hundreds of millions of euros.
Portugal and Spain are the most severely affected by the protest, with around five million people in both countries taking part in general strikes. But many workers in Greece and Italy are also striking, and protests are expected in most EU countries, including Britain.
Judith Kirton-Darling of the European Trade Union Confederation, which urged workers to join the walkout, says austerity isn't working. "It's increasing inequalities, it's increasing the social instability in society and it's not resolving the economic crisis."
The BBC's Europe editor Gavin Hewitt said: "The question that worries many of Europe's leaders is when will patience run out? When will tolerance of high unemployment and declining living standards snap?"
Spain and Portugal have been the hardest hit by cuts in public spending, rises in the retirement age and tax hikes to combat the virtual collapse of their economies in the wake of the eurozone crisis. Unemployment in Spain stands at 25 per cent, the highest of all eurozone countries, while in Portugal 15 per cent are out of work.
Spain is teetering on the brink of calling for a full European bailout for its economy and it is possible today's strike could tip the country over the edge. Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy's is trying to hold off the bailout, which would give the European Union, and ultimately Germany as one of the few solvent eurozone economies, control over Spain's budget.
Disqus - noscript
Thinking people such as George Soros know that fixing a broken economy requires investment more than austerity. The governments cannot see that the problem lies heavily in the banking systems which control the money supply. Bankers know it including central banks which are powerless to take the drastic remedial action necessary. What we all know is that as long as huge bonuses and breaks go to bankers and the rich, the strikers are a symptom of a problem which is not of their making.

Vladimir Putin derives his personal popularity in Russia from two false narratives: The first: Putin personally rescued the economy from the chaos of the Yeltsin years. Without Putin, pensions and wages would still not be being paid and the economic collapse would still be continuing. Second, Putin restored Russia's sense of worth on the world stage. Russians can again hold their heads high, no longer humiliated by the collapse of the Soviet Union and its empire.First, Russia's economic recovery began before Putin became Russia's "elected Czar.

Kevin P. Hill's attempt to link marijuana policy reform to increases in youth marijuana use deserves a closer look ("Speaker at R.I. conference says marijuana use among nation's youth is rising," news, Oct. 25).
Last year, economists at universities in Colorado, Oregon, and Montana concluded there is no statistical evidence that marijuana legalization increases the likelihood of teen use. In fact, they found that teen use often went down in states after they liberalized their marijuana laws.
A federal survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows teen marijuana use remained virtually unchanged in Rhode Island from 2009 to 2011 as the state implemented its medical marijuana program. In Colorado, it decreased 11 percent after legislators approved a system of regulated medical marijuana sales and hundreds of storefront marijuana businesses began popping up throughout the state.
If our goal is to control teen marijuana use, we must begin by actually controlling marijuana -- something Rhode Island's prohibition laws have utterly failed to do. By regulating marijuana like alcohol, the state could take sales out of the underground market so that authorities know who is producing it, who is selling it, where, when, and most importantly, to whom.

27 Mar 2012 GDN
SHURA Council members have pledged to work with all segments of the community to build a Bahrain based on reconciliation and brotherhood.
In a statement read out at its weekly session, secretary-general Abduljalil Al Tareef said they backed His Majesty King Hamad's call for unity to ensure its political, social and economic reforms as he received the National Commission (NC) report last week.
"The King's speech is a path that we should take - people from all walks of life - to develop democracy in this country and ensure that law and order prevail," he said.
"Protection of people's rights is something that tends to be a speciality of Bahrain and from it courageous decisions have been taken by the leadership to bring the Bahraini Independent Commission of Inquiry and later on form NC to follow up implementation.
"This has ensured that the guilty and the innocent were served justice regardless of their position in life and has paved the way for a new page that will certainly take Bahrain to newer and greater heights."
Mr Al Tareef said Bahrain was still in the early stages of a new era. "Reconciliation is a step forward but people have to work together to achieve and develop our beloved country," he said. "We here offer our hands to the leadership in unity and loyalty as we all work for the good of this nation."

A feature race victory after a spot of adversity seems to be the theme for Tauranga super saloon car racer Gavin Dyer this summer.
Dyer's impressive Saturday night victory in the Barclay Engravers Super Saloon Car Stampede at Baypark Speedway came two days after his engine stopped with a broken camshaft a handful of laps into the first race of the night.
"We worked all day on the car and only got here at 6.30pm," said Dyer. "I have to say a huge thanks to my engine builder Ned Kelly.
"To find a camshaft in two days at this time of year and put it in the car isn't as straightforward as it sounds."
Dyer drove away from the field in the opening heat race but was one of several drivers who didn't make it out the pit gate in time for the second race as the programme was rushed through to make up time after a late start because the track had been over-watered.
Running back in fourth spot in the early part of the 20-lap feature race it was obvious Dyer was the quickest driver on the track.
But to get to the front he had to pass former national champ Brent Emerson twice - just before and then again just after a mid-race caution period - and then showed his speed to work past the battling Kristin Vermeulen and Mark Hutchins at the front of the field.
Dyer had the best-handling car on the demanding track and used it to full effect.
"It's a beautifully precise car that really hooks up on a drivey track," he said.
"It goes where I aim it and I can run different lines. When you can do that your confidence grows."
There were several big accidents in the super saloons with Putaruru's Paul Carter hitting the turn one wall at almost full speed in the first heat while USA visitor Jared Hawkins rolled his Corvette early in the second heat race.
A season that began with a chassis write-off and has also been plagued by some engine issues was turned around by Tauranga sprint car racer Daniel Lee.
Lee settled into a smooth drive after a monster wheelstand in the early laps and kept Rodney Wood at bay to win his first feature race.
It was hard to find many positives in a meeting that had small fields and never fired on all cylinders.
The driving of two next-generation drivers from Tauranga racing families caught the eye.
A sprint car debut by 18-year-old Cole Wood - the son of former national champ Rodney Wood - showed plenty of promise and Sam Waddell, the son of former New Zealand super saloon car champ Dean Waddell, claimed his first feature race win in the youth mini stock class.

Published Sunday, March 14, 1999, in the San Jose Mercury News
WASHINGTON -- The Republican-controlled Congress, in another test of strength against President Clinton, will attempt to force the administration to speed up deployment of a ``star wars''-type missile defense.
GOP to push Clinton for missile defense
Clinton opposes bills that will come before the Senate on Monday and the House later in the week, but proponents say the legislation has a good chance of passage.
Critics assert that passage of the Senate bill, championed by Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., will jeopardize the arms-control regime that helped avert nuclear catastrophe during the Cold War.
``The cornerstone of American strategic policy is now in the cross hairs of the opposition party,'' Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., told reporters recently. Biden is the ranking minority member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Russia views any step toward unilateral U.S. creation of a missile defense as a threat to the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Biden warns that the Russian Duma, whose ratification of the START 2 treaty is already long overdue, might well put arms cuts into a deep freeze. That in turn could be the death knell of other arms-control treaties.
What has complicated the battle is that the administration itself changed policy early this year, by allocating $6.6 billion to develop a missile-defense system and $10.5 billion to pay for the deployment of 20 interceptors at a single site. Cochran contends that his legislation builds on the administration's policy shift, which itself is a response to actions by ``rogue'' states such as North Korea to acquire missile and nuclear weapons technology.
Cochran's text runs 41 words: ``It is the policy of the United States to deploy as soon as is technologically possible an effective National Missile Defense system capable of defending the territory of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental, unauthorized or deliberate).''
Cochran acknowledges that any such deployment will break the ABM treaty, which allows an ABM system around the national capital or to protect a national nuclear deterrent force, but not to protect the entire national territory.
``There is no such thing as a treaty-compliant NMD (national missile defense) system,'' said a top aide, who said Russia should be told that the two countries must renegotiate the treaty.
As to other arms-control treaties, the aide said opponents have the 34 votes needed to block the Comprehensive Test Ban. The administration advocates the CTB as the centerpiece in its drive to ensure that India and Pakistan do not test any more devices. But Cochran feels ``we're not here to satisfy India and Pakistan, but to ensure for us the requisite confidence in the safety and the reliability of the nuclear stockpile,'' his aide said.
Cochran's missile-defense bill has Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, as co-sponsor. He counts 54 backers, more than enough to pass -- something the administration does not yet concede -- and believes he can even block an expected Democratic filibuster.
A senior White House aide criticized Cochran's bill as making deployment almost automatic once it is technologically feasible. The White House says technological feasibility is not a sufficient criterion, and it wants to weigh whether there actually is a threat at the time, whether the weapons system will be ready, whether a missile defense is financially feasible and whether Russia will go along with changes to the ABM treaty.
Some observers question why a national missile defense is needed at all, and whether there are not cheaper, conventional ways to deal with a potential threat. At his last news conference, Clinton was asked how he could ``justify chipping away at the ABM treaty'' and pour ``billions and billions into a star-wars defense'' against the possibility that ``starving North Korea might fire a missile at us.''
Clinton replied: ``I never advocated . . . encouraged, sanctioned or blinked at the possibility that we could unilaterally abrogate the ABM treaty. I personally would be very opposed to that.''
But he argued that any number of ``rogue'' states other than North Korea might have the means in 10 to 20 years to deliver a nuclear missile strike against the United States. ``We owe it to ourselves and our allies to develop such a system if the technology is there,'' he said.
Biden disagrees. ``The administration strategy on this was wrong,'' he told reporters recently. ``I don't think there is a real `rogue state' threat. The moment you present a threat that is real, then we will push for amendments to the ABM treaty.'' He said he would prefer to threaten any country that acquires intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons capacity with their destruction. ``It's a lot cheaper and more feasible,'' he said.
The administration's biggest problem in fighting the Cochran bill is that at the behest of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it has ostensibly changed policy, or at the least sown confusion about its real intentions.
The administration has scheduled its decision on deployment in just 14 months. The technological challenge, similar to that of shooting a bullet at a bullet, is unlikely to be met by that time, according to Gen. Henry Shelton, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and officials say it is more realistic to think a system will be ready for deployment in 2003 or even 2005.
Even that is debatable. There have been 15 intercept tests since 1982, and 13 have failed. The two successes were made possible by special efforts to make the targets easier to locate.
``About the only thing we've been able to demonstrate over the last 15 years is that this program has an absolutely unique capacity for burning up large amounts of money, without anything ever coming out the other end,'' said John Pike of the Federation of American Scientists. ``There is no other program in American history which has managed to chew up $60 billion with absolutely nothing whatsoever to show for it.''

i ALWAYS get disconnected from online games for no reason, i don't understand why because i have a very good high-speed internet connexion (500kb/s download, 80kb/s upload). I tryed it with a lot of different games, and i always have the same poblem..
I tryed all solutions i came across and it still doesn't work. Yes, i have set up a static IP in the DMZ for my ps3 and forwarded all the ports correctly.
when i get disconnected, my computer stays online without getting disconnected, so it's not my whole internet that crashes, i just get kicked out of the game i am playing
- i use wired connection with ethernet cable, NOT WIFI
- i tryed to desactivate the ps3 media server, it seems to help but i still keep getting disconnected
- when i do the network test on playstation, i get "Type 2 NAT"
- i don't have this problem when playing games on my PC
- my playstation3 is brand new (bought it less than a month ago) just like my ethernet cable.
I use a router (D-LINK DI-624) but even if i plug my ethernet cable right in the modem without using my router i have the same problems
No, i never download anything at the same time when i'm playing on my PS3
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, i'm desperate and i think i'm just going to stop playing online games
Note : I wanted to start my own topic but i don't feel like posting 50 posts only to get help so i'm posting here.

A New Drug for Smokers Is a Dream for Some, a Nightmare for Others
Friends of a Texas Musician Blame the Rage That Led to His Death on a Medication He Took to Kick the Habit
According to friends and family, the nightmares—vivid and violent—began for Albrecht just one week earlier, when he and Rathbone, dating since January, started taking the new drug Chantix in an effort to quit smoking. "We were both having strange hallucination dreams," says Rathbone, who is working toward a graduate degree in counseling. "With Carter, he'd wake up and say, 'Oh, I thought that was real.'"
The couple were not alone. Chantix—which can stop the cravings for cigarettes by binding onto nicotine receptors in the brain—has been prescribed to more than 3 million smokers since it hit the market last year and has helped even longtime nicotine addicts kick the habit in a matter of months. But Internet message boards overflow with reports of a common side effect of the drug, "Chantix dreams"—hard to shake, sometimes terrifying, visions in the night (see box). The drug's manufacturer, Pfizer, acknowledges that 13 percent of subjects in clinical trials had abnormal dreams (compared with 5 percent who took a placebo).
Odd dreams caused by a powerful drug are one thing; aggressive outbursts are quite another—and "infrequent," says Pfizer. But that's exactly how Rathbone explains the final hours of her boyfriend's life. Just past midnight on the morning he died, Albrecht, who had been taking Chantix for eight days, doubled his dose, following instructions on the label. About an hour later, he met Rathbone at a Dallas bar, where they had a "few" rounds of drinks with friends. (The Chantix label warns that mixing the drug with alcohol can cause drowsiness.) The couple began arguing on the way from the bar to Rathbone's house as, she says, Albrecht became increasingly irrational. But Rathbone and Albrecht's roommate Danny Balis, who had known him for nine years, insist that alcohol had never made him belligerent before. "It was not a drunken rage," she says. "It was a Chantix-induced rage. That's what I honestly believe."
Dr. Doug Vanderburg—a medical director for Pfizer, which tested the drug on 4,500 subjects—questions that assumption. While cases of aggression and disorientation were reported during clinical trials and are mentioned as possible side effects (along with more common nausea and depression), Vanderburg points out that violent tendencies may have existed in patients before they began taking Chantix. "Our safety data to date do not suggest a causal relationship between violent behavior and Chantix," he says. Dr. Sandra Kweder of the Food and Drug Administration (which approved Chantix in May 2006) says the drug's real side effects won't be fully understood until more patients try it and report back. "With this one we're not that far along in our scientific knowledge," says Kweder.
One person who says she knew enough to stop taking Chantix is Deborah Johnson, 36, an Oregon musician who began taking the blue pills last February. Johnson says the drug left her "confused and agitated." One night after drinking wine, she suddenly felt frantic. "I grabbed the kitchen knife and cut one wrist; I felt compelled to do it," she says.
Bad dreams and other side effects have certainly not stopped many users who now swear by the drug, including Sammi Hawkins, 41, a longtime Michigan smoker who couldn't give up cigarettes even after her husband died of lung cancer at age 39. Hawkins tried a nicotine patch and acupuncture. But after six weeks on Chantix, she can walk by smokers huddled outside buildings without the least temptation, she says. "I want to say, 'Hey, go see your doctor; there's a pill now!'"
Carter Albrecht's parents, who bid farewell to their only child Sept. 7 at a funeral with 700 mourners, have no plans to sue Pfizer. They just want other potential users to hear their son's story first and be alert to possible changes in behavior. "What a gentle soul he was," says his father, Ken, 60. Adds Ryann Rathbone, who thought she had found the man she would marry: "Knowing Carter, what happened is unbelievable. If you take Chantix out of the equation, it just doesn't make sense."

First Time for Everything
Cam Janssen scores first goal for hometown team
Friday, 01.16.2009 / 5:02 PM CT / St Louis Blues - Features
By Chris Pinkert - St. Louis Blues
|Cam Janssen's first goal as a member of the Blues was followed by a unique goal celebration. Janssen's goal helped the Blues to a 5-2 win Thursday over Colorado.
Score goals?
Not that often, but when opportunity presents itself…
"Hey, the puck was loose. It was right there," Janssen said Thursday night, almost defending himself to a group of reporters who were joking about a newfound natural goal scorer. "I just tapped it home. It wasn't pretty by any means, but it was pretty to me. I'll take it."
Janssen's goal, his first as a member of the Blues and second of his NHL career, came 9:36 into the second period to lift the Blues to a 2-0 advantage over the Avalanche at Scottrade Center. The Blues never trailed in the game and came away with a convincing 5-2 win.
"It was a big goal for us," said Blues forward T.J. Oshie, who scored a goal and two assists in the game. "I was standing next to (Cam) before we went out and he said he was going to get one. He held true to his word."
Janssen grew up in nearby Eureka, a town just 30 miles west of downtown St. Louis. As a kid, he remembers his idols wearing a Blues jersey with pride; Brett Hull, Tony Twist, Kelly Chase, Brendan Shanahan, Ian Laperierre…the list goes on and on.
"It feels great," Janssen said. "It's been a long time. I forgot what it felt like. It's always good to have a good (fight) or a couple of good hits, but to get a goal, it's just something else. No matter how it goes in, it's nice to be able to get one."
It even earned a compliment from Andy Murray on the bench.
"I don't get excited about too many goals, and it wasn't just because Cam scored," Murray said after the game. "It was the way we scored it. A gritty forecheck, (Trent) Whitfield finishes his (check), Dan Hinote protects the puck, Cam comes in at the right time and finishes it. I think I yelled 'great goal' on the bench. I don't say that very often.
"It was a coach's kind of goal."
Janssen said he came home to a house full of family and friends, where he celebrated the goal for an hour before he had to go to bed and get ready for practice the next morning. But the memory still lasts.
"Anytime you get a chance to score, it's always a bonus being in my position," he said. "We're working hard, I like my linemates.
"Maybe I'll get another one."

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2014) Review and Ratings
Our Verdict: The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon remains an excellent choice for on-the-go business users, but the latest edition mixes fresh innovations with a couple of odd quirks. Read More…

- Adaptive function keys
- What We Didn't…
- Expensive
- Not the longest battery life
- Harsh audio
- Annoying keyboard layout
- Stiff upper mouse buttons
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2014) Review
By March 31, 2014reviewed
Table of Contents
Introduction & Design
When we reviewed the original ThinkPad X1 Carbon, its handsome and lightweight design, stellar 1,600x900 display, and excellent keyboard convinced us that 14-inch ultrabook shoppers should put it at the top of their short lists. With the latest incarnation of the Carbon, Lenovo delivers a number of improvements and fresh innovations.
The screen has been upgraded to a 2,560x1,440 touch panel, and the port selection finally includes two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI-out. The notebook also includes several unique features such as gesture controls, software that allows you to control the laptop with your smartphone, and an adaptive function row—function keys that serve different purposes (and display different icons) based on the active application.
One thing that hasn't changed is the premium price tag. Our review configuration, which featured a Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 180GB solid-state drive, clocked in at $1,529. For that price, we would have expected pitch-perfect audio and an epic battery life, both areas in which the new X1 Carbon disappoints.
Nevertheless, the more we used the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon, the more impressed we became. Read on to find out why.
Lenovo touts the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon as the lightest 14-inch ultrabook currently on the market, and the notebook certainly feels light in the hand. The laptop is constructed of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, which according to Lenovo is as strong as aluminum but weighs a third less.
Indeed, at 3.15 pounds and 0.73 inch thick, the Carbon is noticeably lighter than the likes of the Dell Latitude E7440 Touch (3.6 pounds, 0.8 inch thick); the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 (3.3 pounds, 0.63 inch); and the Toshiba Satellite E45t-A4300 (4.4 pounds, 0.8 inch).
The notebook is also surprisingly durable, given its svelte form factor. The Carbon passed eight of 15 MIL-STD 810G tests, which verify that it can withstand extreme temperatures, humidity, altitude, vibration, and mechanical shock. In addition, Lenovo subjected the laptop to its own durability tests, including sudden drops, flexing, and spills.
In keeping with the ThinkPad aesthetic, the Carbon's lid and deck boast a matte black finish which unfortunately picks up fingerprint smudges quite easily. Lenovo and ThinkPad logos on the lid are the only embellishments on the otherwise plain exterior.
The deck offers plenty of space for the wrists, and the polymer material feels pleasantly cool to the touch. Lenovo's famed island-style AccuType keyboard rests in a slight depression, and the roomy touch pad is centered beneath the G and H keys. An immediately obvious addition to the new X1 Carbon is its liquid crystal adaptive function row, which cycles through a total of 46 functions depending on context (more on that below).

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By Colleen Vanderlinden
start a garden, gardening tips, what to grow
All is right with the world again. Tiny seedlings huddle beneath the fluorescent lights in my basement, and the little greenhouse is full of more cool-season plants, waiting to be planted out into the garden. They are all so delicate looking. Yet these plants will feed my family throughout the spring, summer and fall. We'll eat the food they produce through the winter as well, thanks to all of the freezing, drying and canning I'll be doing this summer. From a few flats of tiny seedlings, a family of six will eat like royalty.
This is the magic of gardening. So many obsessed gardeners, like me, compare gardening to a drug. Once you start, you just have to keep doing it. And you soon find that one little container, or one 4-by-8 bed, is no longer enough. You want to grow more, and you want to start earlier and end later! Soon, you're erecting greenhouses and low tunnels in your garden, because they'll buy you a few more precious weeks. It's the best kind of addiction I can imagine.
I may be the worst (or best, depending on your views) type of gardening addict. I'm not content to just garden for myself. Not anymore. I can't keep quiet about how awesome it is to grow your own food, to make your own little corner of this Earth a beautiful, fruitful place — and one that does it in partnership with nature instead of in opposition to it. I write, I talk, I encourage. I give seedlings and seeds. I show up at my mother-in-law's house with a few blueberry plants, some compost and a bit of peat.
I'm officially a pusher.
So if you're thinking about starting a garden, or you've gardened in the past but thought it wasn't for you, I'm here, pushing, hoping you'll give it a go this year. If you're thinking about starting a garden, here's my best advice:
1. Grow what you'll eat.
Radishes are pretty and easy, but if no one in your family likes them, there's no point in growing them. If you love salads, grow plenty of lettuces, a few tomatoes and some herbs. If you love pasta and pizza, grow plenty of tomatoes, peppers, basil and oregano.
2. Start small.
There's nothing more frustrating, or more likely to turn you off to gardening, than ending up with a huge, tangled, weed-infested mess. Start with one 4-foot-by-8-foot bed, or one window box, or one self-watering container, and just see how it goes. You'd be surprised how much you can grow in one garden bed. Take a look at the MOTHER EARTH NEWS Garden Planner, or find a copy of Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot Gardening.
One bed, or one container, is easy to maintain. You can keep it planted, watered, weeded and fed in literally minutes a day. And with a successful season under your belt, maybe you can expand next year.
3. Expect problems.
No gardening season is without its challenges, even for those of us who have been gardening for a long time. Your pumpkins might get powdery mildew, hornworms could attack your tomatoes. A hot, dry summer could send your salad greens bolting. It happens. It's not a personal failing, just part of the gardening life.
4. Pay attention.
Spending time in your garden is the best way to learn more about gardening. Really get in there and observe. Which plants seem to be doing the best, or the worst? What is that bug on your cucumber plants? How dry is the soil, and who is eating your lettuce leaves? Notice the little problems before they become big problems, and learn more about what makes for a healthy garden by getting up close and personal with your plants.
I'm so happy to be blogging here at MOTHER EARTH NEWS! I'll be sharing organic gardening advice, photos of my garden, and probably some cooking and preserving recipes along the way. All while pushing the magical drug that is gardening, of course!
Will you be starting your first garden this year? Tell me about it!

Auburn, February 19, 2010: Despite the controversies swirling around the gambling issue in Alabama, a recent Ask Alabama poll conducted by Auburn University shows that most Alabama adults support a lottery and video gaming to increase state revenues to balance the budget and fund education. Results show that 68 percent support a lottery and 60 percent back video gaming for education funding.
The poll repeated questions asked by Auburn in a 2005 Ask Alabama Poll and the results are virtually identical. The lottery garnered 68 percent support in the latest poll, two points above the 2005 poll result. Video gaming support stands at 60 percent, down from 61 percent in 2005.
The poll asked: "As you know, in this recession, the legislature has a challenge balancing the budget. Would you support or oppose each of the following measures to increase state revenues and balance the state budget?" Large majorities of those polled support the lottery (68 percent), higher taxes on alcoholic beverages (66 percent), increased taxes on tobacco products (61 percent), and taxes on video gaming (60 percent). Majorities oppose increased taxes on business-owned commercial property (60 percent oppose) and the state sales tax (84 percent oppose).
Majorities of voters supported both a lottery and video gaming in every region of the state, as well as urban, suburban and rural counties. Support was also similar across men and women, young and old, black and white, and affluent and poor.
The Ask Alabama survey results are based on telephone interviews conducted with a stratified random sample of 614 adult householders January 4-14, 2010. The sample's geographic, gender, race, and age distributions were weighted to be proportionate to the United States Census Bureau's data for Alabama's adult (18+ years of age) householders. Patrick Rose, Manager of the Center's Survey Research Laboratory that conducted the interviews, said that poll results based on the full statewide sample have a margin of error of ±4 percentage points.
The Ask Alabama Poll is to be conducted quarterly by the Center for Governmental Services, a unit of Auburn University Outreach that provides research, consulting and training to government agencies, not-for-profit associations, and private sector clients.
