eBay Changes Coming September 22
Don't forget that some major eBay changes take effect on Tuesday (including the change to shipping insurance and the requirement about adding and return policy & handling time to Good til Cancelled listings), here's a link to all of the changes eBay announced in July.
AppEagle Available on eBay SM Apps
AppEagle is a tool for eBay sellers that will automatically revise, end and relist your listings based on the rules that you set. The program is available through eBay Selling Manager (see AuctionBytes explanation of eBay SMApps). A company spokesperson said, "Very basically, the app takes a sellers inventory, matches it to listings and adjusts the live quantity on eBay as inventory changes. This allows a seller to easily split their inventory among marketplaces or ensure that all of their inventory is always available for sale. There are several different rules a seller can set as to how the quantity is managed. The app will also end listings when inventory runs out and optionally relist a listing when inventory increases from 0."
BookFinder Releases Seventh Annual BookFinder.com Report
The seventh annual BookFinder.com report is now available online. The report reveals the most sought after out-of-print books in America including the top Society/Culture, Fiction, Art's/Music books and more. It's useful if you're looking for hot titles to pick up at book sales and yard sales, but it's also a lot of fun to read as well! BookFinder.com is an ecommerce search engine that searches over 150 million books for sale - new, used, rare, out-of-print, and textbooks.
Elance Runs a "New Way to Work" Contest
Elance is running a "New Way to Work" contest to recognize independent contractors, part-time or temporary staffers, or self-employed workers and businesses who are pioneering a new way to work - completely online. The winner will be announced on December 11, 2009, and will receive a year's worth of health insurance premiums or $10,000 in cash. See details on the Elance blog.
Endicia Launches PartnerSHIP Forward Program

Most people have only a one-sided view of Aidid, Mogadishu, and the present state of instability in Somalia.
Seven years ago, I spent two-weeks in Somalia, in Mogadishu and Hargeisa. I visited the refugee camp Tug Wajalle "B" where there were 120,000 refugees
from the Ethiopian/Somalian "War of Nerves." I found the Somalis to be handsome, kind, warm, totally an agrarian society.
I was in Somalia in September 1992 (with CARE U.S.) to visit the towns of Bardera, Bardo and Mogadishu. I personally witnessed the human tragedy of starvation, death and total breakdown of all services.

Where I Draw the Line! Part 1Posted Wednesday, January 28, 2009, at 11:45 PM
Have you heard all the ads on the radio lately about giving blood? I don't know about you, but unfortunately the two times in my life that I've done it both turned into fiascos. The first one was when I got married, back in the Stone Age. In those days you had to have a blood test to get a marriage license. I'm still not sure why; to prove we weren't related or didn't have some crazy disease I suppose. I was so scared I didn't have the guts to ask, I just wanted it to be over. I'll never forget, we went to Parkview Hospital early one Saturday morning. They took my fiancť first and as I watched it seemed as if the room was getting very small and very hot. By the time the nurse got to me I was a nervous wreck and terribly sick to my stomach. Luckily she only needed a vial or two and it was over fairly quickly as I remember. After it was over I swore I would never, ever do that again.
The second time is etched in my brain as the worst event of my life. If you read my last blog you know I have a hard time saying no to friends. This is one of the times I should have said, "Sorry, I can't do that." Deborrah Pugh, the former Red Cross Director, had asked several of us around downtown to help her out by donating blood. By late afternoon several of my friends and co-workers had been, so I had to make good on this promise. I knew I would never live it down if I was a no show! I had asked my mother how hard it was because she has always been a multi-gallon blood donor. She used to give blood every month and never acted as if it was a big deal. Of course, she wanted me to be a nurse too but I just couldn't do that either!
So twenty something years later, I finally decided I could, maybe, probably, hopefully do it! As I walked into the building where the Red Cross was set up taking donations, I was thinking it had to be the hottest day of the summer. Looking around for a friendly face, there were several local folks all smiling, looking like there was nothing to this. In my mind I rationalized that technology had increased tremendously in those twenty odd years since my last experience and surely it wouldn't be that bad.
So I go in, fill out the long questionnaire which asks for entirely too much personal information and apparently I passed that test. So as I'm waiting my turn a young lady sits down beside me and I start asking how it was for her. "Oh, they wouldn't let me give today" she says, while munching on a cookie. I'm thinking okay, all I have to do is find out why and use that excuse to get out of this situation. Then she says, "I don't weigh enough!" All I could do was laugh! I knew I was doomed; I've never in my life had anyone tell me, "You don't weigh enough."
About this time a nice lady comes and walks me into the big room. As I enter, I see about five gurneys set up in a horseshoe shape with a nurse in the middle. As my luck would have it, there is an empty space just for me. She leads me toward the bed and my eyes are taking in every movement happening around me. Each person is laying there with an arm outstretched, smiling and looking so calm. To me, it's a scene from a horror movie. Taped to their arms are a needle and a very thin plastic tube filled with bright red blood which is winding its way down to a plastic bag on some kind of machine that looks like an old foot peddle type sewing machine. The blood in the bag is rocking back and forth at a steady rhythm, mixing and flowing under their beds.

World's Smallest Mom Next Reality TV Mom?John Cave Osborne
Stacey Herald lives in Dry Ridge, KY with her husband, Will, and their three children Katira, Makaia and Malachi. No big deal, right? Exactly.
You see, Stacey Herald stands just a touch over twenty-eight inches tall. Which means according to the Guinness Book of World Records, she's the smallest living woman to have children. Which also means that just one day after my Strollerderby cohort Paula Bernstein brought you news of the world's largest toddler, I'm offering up a story on the planet's smallest mom.
And what an unlikely mom she is, at least medically speaking. Herald was repeatedly told that due to her size, she'd never have children. Yet on Sunday, she watched proudly as her oldest child celebrated her fourth birthday.
The kids are "something that God has given us," explains her husband. "He gives you the desires of your heart. And [Stacey's] desire was to have kids." So remarkable is her tale that it may bring about her own reality show — one which she hopes will illustrate how her family is at once both typical and anything but.
I flat-out love this story. It's one of an impossibly diminutive underdog who manages to defy the odds and (perhaps miraculously?) realize her simple dream of becoming a mother. Three times. It's genuine. Palpable. And evocative.
So I have a question. Why is it appealing to reality TV execs? I mean, seriously, when it comes to reality TV moms, I thought they preferred vapid, self-smitten and materially-consumed atrocities such as Jill Zarin, Teresa Giudice and Kim Zolciak. Or the proverbial Queen of the Hill, Kate Gosselin. Now, color me coo-coo, but the very last two things that woman reminds me of would have to be reality and motherhood. Yet, strangely, Kate's the perfect embodiment of the reality TV mom.
Which is bad news for the Heralds. For unlike the vast majority of "real people" with whom our society has grown enamored, sweet, godly Stacey and her improbable crew simply don't have anything salacious or superficial about them. Which is what seems to sell the ads. So, sadly, I suspect that Stacey won't end up getting her own show after all. How I hope I'm wrong.
But if I'm not, then she's too good for such it, anyway.

Posted on 07/18/2012 6:25:33 PM PDT by djone
**Soy's Negative Effects** Is This the Most Dangerous Food for Men? The unassuming soybean has silently infiltrated the American diet as what might just be the perfect protein source: It's cheap and vegetarian, and could even unclog our hearts. But there may be a hidden dark side to soy, one that has the power to undermine everything it means to be male.
(Excerpt) Read more at menshealth.com ...
Read more at Men's Health:
The only thing I'll eat or drink with the word Soy in it is Soy Sauce and I use that for the salt..
"In the classes that Dr. Lewi teaches to medical students and residents, he has long offered this advice: If you're not finding the right answers, you're not asking the right questions. Though he'd asked Price about his lifestyle and habits innumerable times, he decided to go back once again, and this time to make his questions as specific as possible. "I said, 'Let's go over your diet, meal by meal, and you tell me every single thing you eat and drink.' He said, 'Sure, Dr. Lewi. I get up and usually have some cereal.' I said, 'Do you put anything on it?' He said 'Soy milk.' "
That explains the increase in the number of girlymen libtards.
Wow he was drinking 3 quarts of soy milk a day.
Sounds nasty.
Take 100mg of lactase with my favorite pint of ice cream, once a week.
Works well for lactose intolerance.
(no...voting Dem won't make you more tolerant....)
I drink Almond Milk because of lactose intolerance and it's really good. I would never drink soy and don't understand if you have the option of almond or even coconut milk why you would.
And most all processed foods have soy, especially lecithin, which is a key ingredient that helps with blending other ingredients. Keep your boys away from soy —I do believe this is one of the key reasons we're seeing more "girly men"; boys are softer and have bigger breasts and lower sperm count.
Me, too. Can't get more balanced than a bowl of cereal and whole milk.
It could easily explain the girly men. They are libs. Libs love tofu and soy milk. My friend had breast cancer; the doc told her that drinking soy milk makes breast tissue very dense and tumors hard to see.
Well, it was always said he was a "breast man," so I don't understand the boobhaha, or whatever it's called.
Besides I have to say if I could pull that off I might not leave the house.
I appreciate the medical explanation. You saved me the time it would take to find it.
Thanks again....
Kikkoman Red or nothing!
Hey guys! Soy milk makes your private bits shrivel up.
Drink More Soy Milk!
When I got to a certain age and began having symptoms ladies tend to get, like hot flashes and insomnia, I began drinking soy milk and eating tofu. This really helped (though I no longer drink or need it). It tasted so good that my son wanted to start guzzling it. I was concerned, because if it had enough phytoestrogens in it to fix me up, it wouldn't do much good for the hormones of a developing young boy. I strictly forbade him to consume any soy products and would not have them in the house.
He's 18 now. Six feet tall, all muscle and all guy. Loves hunting, fishing, shooting, trucks, and women. Yesterday he enlisted in the US Marine Corps. I rest my case.
....and gives you MAN BOOBS !!!
Other than soy sauce, if I see soy in any form in the list of ingredients, back on the shelf it goes. It's getting harder and harder to find soy free products, so I may have to start writing nasty letters to manufacturers. Mind you, processed food is crap anyway, and I'd much rather have stuff that's assembled from scratch with real ingredients.
I started drinking Raw milk 2 years ago. More as an act of civil disobediance than anything else.
About a month after starting, I realised most of my allergies went away.
My partner always assumed she was lactose intolerant. Starting with small amounts over a period of weeks, we came to believe she was having problems only with pasturised milk. Her allergy symptoms have decreased greatly.
That explains the increase in the number of girlymen libtards.
Have you noticed the behavior of most Republican Politicians concerning critical issues?
Same here!
I am not completely against soy. I have sushi once a week and love miso. I also eat soy as part of a vegetable mix with other beans, corn, when I stir fry Chinese. But I would never drink soy milk. Almond milk is another story.
Regular Vitamin D for me.
None of that 2%, 1% or skim for me.
Bah humbug.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Amen! AND, as a bonus, the shelf life is around 6-8 wks
If you want to bring out your inner Niles Crane; then soy milk is just what you need...
Saw a report years ago that soy can also cause something similar to steroid rage in some men.
I'm over 60, and we have had that problem for decades.
I think there must me something in the water in DC. It probably isn't soy.
Either that or every primary we make numerous errors in judgement. It's largely a go-along to get along mentality. They leave the State with conservative credentials and come back touting the sustainability crud and globull warming.
Once and while you might actually get someone with a core, but it's a rarity.
The truth of it is that being conservative is not easy. Being a Lib is.
Uhmmmm might check that. I am old enough to have time on my hands. Meaning I now do alot of reading and learning about that which arouses my curiosity. One day began reading about "Food Combination." Fascinating subject. Mixing grains/protein a major "not to do."
Sadly in my life I can understand many things but have hard time explaining. Its about the enzymes in milk that does not allow the the grains/proteins to properly digest and causing other hidden problems.
Just goggle "Food Combination" + Alkaline Acid
As a school nurse, I warned parents, and my own kids, to not use soy-based formulas to raise kids on. Especially boys since soy acts like estrogen in the body. I have to watch what products I use because I had three blood clots using soy milk, in a nine month period. If soy is listed as anything but soy lecithin, I do not but it. I had colleagues trying to have babies, vegetarians using a lot of soy products. I told them that the soy acts like estrogen to prevent conception, but they didn't believe me. None of them succeeded in pregnancy on the soy products, but because their doctors told them they didn't see a problem, they refused to give up the soy. I don't think they told the doctor HOW MUCH SOY was actually being ingested. Soy should be banned, in my opinion!
Old news, well covered ...
I don't know if you're like me but I have a primal reaction to even the word "soy," along with anything associated with artificial sweeteners. I shudder inside just thinking about it. They feel like poison to me. I've no idea why this happens. And yes, I've eaten a few things with soy sauce in them, no problem, but in my whole life I would guess I've not had the equivalent of even one bottle of soy sauce.

Summer Statues and Scrapbooks (Helping Kids Scrapbook Their Summers)Laura Mayes
We are currently on the last leg of a week-long Tour of Statues. A whistle-stop week fit for a founding father. A Declaration of Independence Palooza. The six-year-old is seeing Philadelphia, DC and NYC for the very first time and I have no idea if he'll remember it.
When do you start remembering things?
I think my first memory was when I learned to open an individual-sized packet of Saltines all by myself. I was six, and apparently very proud of this accomplishment since I remember it at all. What I'm saying is, besides the cracker celebration, most of my remembered childhood is only remembered because there were photos…and I remember the photos my mom took.
But these are different times, and photos are a dime a dozen, in pixelized forms on phones that we lose or forget and never print out. And I don't want him to lose these memories. Hell, I don't want to lose these memories.
So he's started a Summer Scrapbook. He wrote down 12 things he wanted to accomplish this summer, and he's doing them. Then he's taking his own photos of it all. Then he's writing about it. And then I'm going to throw that all together into a digital scrapbook (to be printed) of everything. Done and done.
It's a project for school (our version of his summer journal) and an in-process memory keeper.
So far, it's awesome. His take on things is simplistic and smart, and he will totally love reading this in a few years. Also, it's one of those things I'm destined to find in 10 years…a little time capsule of our Tour of Statues…and cry my eyes out. You know how that goes…the days are long but the years are short. And I don't want to forget any of it.
A big thanks to Wendy's for sponsoring this campaign. You can use its new scrapbooking app to create a digital scrapbook you can post to Facebook in a few simple steps. So smart. Click here to see more of the discussion.

I can't help but marvel at how prolific Clint Eastwood is.
"Gran Torino" is already the eighth directorial effort of the '00s for the tireless Eastwood, and it holds serious promise, considering the consistently outstanding quality of "Mystic River," "Million Dollar Baby," "Flags of Our Fathers," "Letters From Iwo Jima" and "Changeling" (which opens Friday -- read my review in Friday's Press and here on MLive, pluggity plug).
I was startled to learn that the trailer for "Torino" was already on the Web, and that the film is apparently set for a limited December release (for Oscar consideration, I assume), and, according to IMDb.com, a wide opening on Jan. 16. It seems like we were just reading about the movie's Detroit-area summer shoot, and it's already hitting the big screen -- a testament to Eastwood's efficiency as a filmmaker.
Initially, there were rumors that "Torino" would be a sixth "Dirty Harry" movie, which obviously weren't true. But you may see a few parallels between the man in this trailer and good ol' Inspector Callahan:
Bias alert: I love almost anything Eastwood does, and carry my affection for his work with me everywhere. This clip has a lot of Classic Clint in it: the squint, the cantankerous loner character, the gunplay -- all things I (we?) have grown to love about him.
Weighty drama. Eastwood's recent films have a uniquely intense, melodramatic tone to them, and they're emotionally resonant because of it. There's plenty of evidence of that tragic "Mystic River"/"Million Dollar Baby" vibe in this trailer.
That grizzled voice. "Get off my lawn!" Kinda scary, isn't it? Then again...
That grizzled voice. Kinda sounds like Batman, doesn't it?
The age thing. Now, I'm not ageist, and won't spout any condescending baloney about how it's amazing what Eastwood can do at his age, blah blah blabbity blah. But in this clip, his character, a 70-something Korean War vet, appears to be beating the tar out of a 20-something gang member -- a guy in his physical prime -- which is rather difficult to swallow. Maybe it'll make more sense when we see it in context.

The marine work environment can involve potential Safety and Health hazards for untrained maritime workers. The purpose of this training is to provide information that will help maritime workers understand the hazards associated with daily tasks and therefore work safely. The ultimate goal is to provide maritime workers with important information so at the end of each day everyone can return home to enjoy a healthy, happy and safe life. The duration of the MISTA course will be 4 hours combined with a 50 question multiple choice test. Trainees must present a valid State or Federal ID at the training facility prior to participation in the program. As MISTA expands the program regionally and nationally, we are interested in partnering with host employers interested in requiring MISTA training as an entry requirement and community training centers that are interested in delivering the program.
The mission of the Maritime Industry Safety Training Association (MISTA) is to advance maritime industry safety, health, and environmental education that:

Where do the good ideas come from?In this column, we offer our readers the opportunity to learn about—and benefit from—some of the cutting-edge technologies being implemented by law enforcement colleagues around the world.
Barix AG is helping Goodwill Industries reduce theft and vandalism at its stores by adding voice to its existing video surveillance systems. The security team reports a 99 percent donation retention since installing Barix two-way Internet protocol (IP) audio and monitoring solutions at three locations, with plans to roll out the technology across all 15 regional stores. The nonprofit stores regularly accept donations at all locations. The company has long used a closed-circuit television network to monitor and record visitors as they drop off donations at store exteriors—and to capture evidence of criminal activity. Goodwill recently began looking at ways to communicate directly with visitors, when necessary.
"We have always done live video monitoring for after-hours donations at our stores but have experienced a lot of theft over the past year," said Chris Ryter, loss prevention and safety manager for Goodwill Industries of East Texas. "I had this idea that the thefts would stop or subside if we could communicate with subjects, let them know they are being recorded, and warn them to leave the property before we call the police. And we have had a significant reduction in theft and vandalism since adding Barix."
Ryter was looking for an IP-based audio solution that could complement his closed-circuit television system and operate independently with low overhead costs. The solution also had to offer centralized monitoring, simple installation, and a quick learning curve with overall ease of use. He opted for Barix Annuncicom 200 two-way IP audio devices for public address, and Barix ICGraph software for centralized remote device control and location monitoring.
Ryter confirms that he has been "green-lighted" to expand the solution to more stores and potentially to administration and warehouse buildings as needed. He also is looking into how to utilize the return channel of the system for audio recording in compliance with federal laws.

PureForge Introduces Atomic-Forged Brake Rotor for Law Enforcement Vehicles
PureForge announces a wear-resistant automobile brake rotor, with an insurance-backed warranty, engineered to outlast the service life of fleet vehicles. The first of PureForge's automobile brake rotor line fits Ford Crown Victoria police cruisers. Additional makes and models—including for the Dodge Charger, the Ford Interceptor, the Chevrolet Caprice, and the Chevrolet Tahoe—are planned for release early this year.
As with PureForge brake rotors for law enforcement motorcycle fleets, the atomic-forged automotive brake rotors are designed to deliver high performance and safety while braking under extreme conditions, mitigating brake fade, and reducing toxic brake dust pollution.
PureForge selected law enforcement as its first marketplace. Operators of these fleets have embraced PureForge brakes, and the demand for brakes for the Crown Victoria has been continuously accelerating since PureForge announced the product's availability. Preorders from existing law enforcement fleet customers fulfilled PureForge's early production output scheduled for the new automotive brakes.
"The Escondido, California, Police Department has outfitted its entire motorcycle fleet with PureForge brakes, and [we are] evaluating the Crown Victoria brake rotors," said Joe Goulart, Escondido Police Department fleet maintenance supervisor. "The safety of our officers is our paramount concern, and we are confident PureForge offers uncompromising safety and performance at 20 percent savings to our department."

Nebraska Embraces Modern Communications with Statewide Interoperable Trunking Network
Nebraska, situated in the middle of the United States, is a state of vast, often rugged territory ranging from sand hills in the west to farmland and highly populated urban areas on the eastern edge. It is a state subject to extreme weather conditions year-round. When all of this is combined with aging radio system infrastructure and equipment, it raises more than a handful of issues.
Unpredictable radio coverage not only placed employees at risk in the field, but also constituted a threat to public safety and hindered the ability of the Nebraska State Patrol and Nebraska Public Power District to carry out their essential services.
"It's hard to cover a state with 77,000 square miles, and the previous systems didn't do that great of a job with it," said Mike Jeffres, public safety systems manager in the state's Office of the Chief Information Officer.
Nebraska officials first identified the need for an upgrade in communications in the late 1990s, but a variety of factors prevented action. Then, in 2004, the state organized a multiagency task force and launched a formal initiative to implement a statewide wireless radio network for first responders, referred to as the Statewide Radio System (SRS).
"The state of Nebraska had taken a strong stance on collaboration and aggregation of services we provide to citizens," said Brenda Decker, Nebraska's chief information officer. "Whether it was web services or connection to departments in other areas of the state, we had to look at a network that would be supportive of all."
The vetting process led to the selection of a Motorola VHF ASTRO 25 statewide trunking system. With the new system in place, Nebraska is realizing compatibility, clarity, and cost savings.
"By moving to the Motorola-based digital radio system, first off, we're making leaps-and-bounds advances in technology," said State Patrol Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Schwarten. ♦

Old software engineers never die, they just reboot.
Software development cycle
1. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free.
2. Product is tested. 20 bugs are found.
3. Programmer fixes 10 of the bugs and explains to the testing department that the other 10 aren't really bugs.
4. Testing department finds that five of the fixes didn't work and discovers 15 new bugs.
5. Repeat three times steps 3 and 4.
6. Due to marketing pressure and an extremely premature product announcement based on overly-optimistic programming schedule, the product is released.
7. Users find 137 new bugs.
8. Original programmer, having cashed his royalty check, is nowhere to be found.
9. Newly-assembled programming team fixes almost all of the 137 bugs, but introduce 456 new ones.
10. Original programmer sends underpaid testing department a postcard from Fiji. Entire testing department quits.
11. Company is bought in a hostile takeover by competitor using profits from their latest release, which had 783 bugs.
12. New CEO is brought in by board of directors. He hires a programmer to redo program from scratch.
13. Programmer produces code he believes is bug-free.
Old C programmers never die. They are just cast into void*
A new joke page is up and running!
Thanks guys for all the great jokes!
If you think about it this is kind of like open source ware!
Everyone can contribute!

These two strings walk into a bar and sit down.
The bartender says, "So what'll it be?"
The first string says, "I think I'll have a beer quag fulk boorg jdkCjfdLk jk3s d#f67howeU r89nvyowmc63Dz x.xvcu"
"Please excuse my friend," the second string says, "He isn't null-terminated."
A Programmer and an Engineer were sitting next to each other on an airplane. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he wants to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to sleep so he politely declines, turns away and tries to sleep. The Programmer persists and explains that it's a real easy game. He explains, "I ask a question and if you don't know the answer you pay me $5. Then you ask a question and if I don't know the answer I'll pay you $5." Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to sleep.
The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "O.K., if you don't know the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you $50! " Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the Programmer $5.
Now, it's the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The Programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop computer, looks through all his references and after about an hour wakes the Engineer and hands the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns away and tries to return to sleep.
The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the question?" Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands $5 to the Programmer, turns away and returns to sleep.

Now that is true.
A stranger from the land of Woot came to Master Foo as he was eating the morning meal with his students.
I hear y00 are very l33t, he said. Pl33z teach m3 all y00 know.
Master Foo's students looked at each other, confused by the stranger's barbarous language. Master Foo just smiled and replied: You wish to learn the Way of Unix?
I want to b3 a wizard hax0r, the stranger replied, and 0wn ever3one's b0xen.
I do not teach that Way, replied Master Foo.
The stranger grew agitated. D00d, y00 r nothing but a p0ser, he said. If y00 n00 anything, y00 wud t33ch m3.
There is a path, said Master Foo, that might bring you to wisdom. The master scribbled an IP address on a piece of paper. Cracking this box should pose you little difficulty, as its guardians are incompetent. Return and tell me what you find.
The stranger bowed and left. Master Foo finished his meal.
Days passed, then months. The stranger was forgotten.
Years later, the stranger from the land of Woot returned.
Damn you! he said, I cracked that box, and it was easy like you said. But I got busted by the FBI and thrown in jail.
Good, said Master Foo. You are ready for the next lesson. He scribbled an IP address on another piece of paper and handed it to the stranger.
Are you crazy? the stranger yelled. After what I've been through, I'm never going to break into a computer again!
Master Foo smiled. Here, he said, is the beginning of wisdom.
On hearing this, the stranger was enlightened.
There was a novice who learned much at the Master's feet, but felt something to be missing. After meditating on his doubts for some time, he found the courage to approach Master Foo about his problem.
Master Foo, he asked why do Unix users not employ antivirus programs? And defragmentors? And malware cleaners?
Master Foo smiled, and said When your house is well constructed, there is no need to add pillars to keep the roof in place.
The novice replied Would it not be better to use these things anyway, just to be certain?
Master Foo reached for a nearby ball of string, and began wrapping it around the novice's feet.
What are you doing? the novice asked in surprise.
Master Foo replied simply: Tying your shoes.
Upon hearing this, the novice was enlightened.
Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: There is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.
The programmer, who was very proud of his mastery of C, said: How can this be? C is the language in which the very kernel of Unix is implemented!
Master Foo replied: That is so. Nevertheless, there is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.
The programmer grew distressed. But through the C language we experience the enlightenment of the Patriarch Ritchie! We become as one with the operating system and the machine, reaping matchless performance!
Master Foo replied: All that you say is true. But there is still more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.
The programmer scoffed at Master Foo and rose to depart. But Master Foo nodded to his student Nubi, who wrote a line of shell script on a nearby whiteboard, and said: Master programmer, consider this pipeline. Implemented in pure C, would it not span ten thousand lines?
The programmer muttered through his beard, contemplating what Nubi had written. Finally he agreed that it was so.
And how many hours would you require to implement and debug that C program? asked Nubi.
Many, admitted the visiting programmer. But only a fool would spend the time to do that when so many more worthy tasks await him.
And who better understands the Unix-nature? Master Foo asked. Is it he who writes the ten thousand lines, or he who, perceiving the emptiness of the task, gains merit by not coding?
Upon hearing this, the programmer was enlightened.

About the Professional TrailBuilders Association (PTBA)
The Professional Trailbuilders' Association represents the leading edge in sustainable trail development; we believe in trail design, construction, management and advocacy that enhance resource protection, recreational opportunities, economic development, active citizens, and connected communities worldwide.
The Professional Trailbuilders' Association brings great trails to life; we advance the trails industry through professional design, construction, advocacy and education.
Supporting quality trailbuilding since 1976
Founded in 1976 as the Western Trailbuilders Association and renamed in 2004, the Professional Trailbuilders Association (PTBA) is North America's largest private sector group of trail specialists, professional trail contractors, designers, and consultants.
All of PTBA's activities support quality trail design, construction, and maintenance for all types of trails in all types of locations. In its early years, PTBA served to define and nurture a new industry—private trail contracting for the federal government, primarily the USDA Forest Service. This was quite successful, and PTBA enjoys respect and a good reputation from federal agencies.
Now, with the ongoing loss of federal trail expertise through retirement and ever-increasing trail and greenway work in state, county, municipal, and special district governments, non-profits, and private landowners, PTBA's services have grown to include the activities listed below.
Member information lists members by name, location, and expertise, including trail training. You can also view photos of sample projects.
PTBA's Primary Activities
- Promoting professional trail contracting and consulting as cost-effective ways to design, build, and maintain high-quality trails;
- Establishing the importance of sustainable trails realized through skillful trail design, construction, and maintenance;
- Helping trail contractors improve skills and abilities;
- Marketing the services of members to federal, state, and local governments, special districts, non-profit organizations, and private landowners;
- Providing networking opportunities between members and the wider world;
- Serving as the organized voice of private trail contractors with governments and other organizations; and
- Hosting the annual, national-level Sustainable Trails Conference to further the above goals.

The Professional TrailBuilders Association (PTBA) is proud to announce an exciting new partnership program – the "Legacy Trail" program. Through this program, the PTBA is seeking partner agencies and organizations that are interested in hosting a Sustainable Trails Workshop series, put on by the PTBA, that will result in a local segment of sustainably and professionally built trail being left behind as a legacy of the partnership.
Upcoming Training Opportunities
Trail Resources
PTBA maintains ever-growing information resources in this website. Info on trail contracting, trail book reviews, sources for trail equipment and supplies, links to other agencies and information, and even a list of trail workers seeking jobs and trail jobs available.

PTBA Contractor Members
PTBA Contractor Members are the primary members of our trade association, and are limited to private-sector sole proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations generating income from trail design, trail construction, or other trail-related activities.

Our membership is small because PTBA stands for quality over quantity—maintaining a high level of professionalism in our members helps continue PTBA's excellent reputation.
At over 90 members strong, located around the world, PTBA members have well over 800 years of collective experience in the specialized skills of trail design, construction, and maintenance. From most of the Pacific Crest Trail to urban bike paths, from remote wilderness trails to busy frontcountry OHV trails, from city parks to regional open space systems, and from golf courses to subdivisions, PTBA contractor members have built countless trails and trail facilities.

Skip to comments.Science trumps speculation: MMR not linked to autism
Posted on 04/12/2009 8:19:47 PM PDT by neverdem
A special vaccine court dismissed claims that the vaccine can cause the cognitive disorder.
The pitched debate regarding the purported link between autism and the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine -- a battle viewed on both sides as critical to shielding the defenseless from harm -- took the encouraging turn for which many physicians were hoping and landed in favor of protecting public health.
At issue was the consideration by a special vaccine court of test cases to determine if certain hypotheses of how vaccines could cause autism were legitimate and, therefore, warranted compensation to the affected parties through the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
On Feb. 12, a panel of U.S. Court of Federal Claims judges, known as special masters, released its findings. The special masters ruled that the vaccines were not to blame. In doing so, they lined up on the side of a massive amount of scientific evidence gathered by diverse and unrelated groups of investigators from all over the world -- including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Institute of Medicine -- that failed to find a connection between the vaccine and the disease. They also made clear the petitioners could not receive settlements through the VICP.
The vaccine court was right to reject the idea that the MMR vaccine, combined with the preservative thimerosal, caused the disabling autism that affects these children and their families.
Granted, the families confronting this reality every day are in a heart-wrenching situation. And their search for answers is acutely understandable. But science has long shown their arguments were misguided. The court's ruling will add momentum to efforts to redirect that search in a way that may lead to real progress in uncovering autism's causes, while not letting unfounded myths keep other children from receiving the proven protection from dreaded infectious diseases that vaccines provide.
That sentiment, at least, is the hope emanating from science, public health and organized medicine, including the American Medical Association. The AMA has long advocated the importance of childhood vaccination and worked to dismiss the flawed arguments that vaccines trigger autism. The AMA also urges that more research be done regarding the reported increase in incidence of autism, Asperger's and other pervasive developmental disorders and more training of physicians to enable them to identify these children and to assist families in accessing early intervention services.
It was from a mountain of research that the court's ruling flowed. A key element that makes the vaccine's court decisions so meaningful is the exhaustive nature of the proceedings -- tallying 5,000 pages of transcript and more than 700 pages of post-hearing briefs. The official record contains 939 medical articles, compared with the 10 articles cited in a typical vaccine case. In addition, 50 expert reports were filed, and 28 expert witnesses testified. By contrast, a typical vaccine case presents between two and six experts.
Thus, the court findings add significant weight to the already overwhelming body of evidence. It is important to note that physicians often recoil when judges make determinations about the practice of medicine. In this case, though, the court took on the task of determining causation based on evidence -- an inevitable question raised in light of the VICP -- and ruled with the strongest scientific backing.
This decision will not mark the last time the issue finds its way into a courtroom. The special court is still examining evidence regarding another causation theory that links autism with vaccines containing thimersol.
But many doctors in the trenches can view this development as a timely teaching tool -- and for good reason. It is one more authoritative voice helping to address credibly the tension parents feel about vaccination risks. After all, nearly 10 million doses of the MMR vaccine are distributed every year. At the same time, autism has become every parent's nightmare, and everyone hears the stories that fuel anxiety. But the court's decision, coupled with the scientific record, underscores the fact that vaccines continue to be one of public health's greatest accomplishments -- helping to protect against harm, not cause it.
The print version of this content appeared in the April 13, 2009 issue of American Medical News.
There are no long term double blind studies of vaccines.
Educate before you vaccinate!

It isn't only the MMR by the way. 9 month MMR and was a different kid the next day. 18 month MMR plus flu shot and he was over the edge and onto the Autism spectrum. Unless you walk a mile in our shoes then I suggest you should probably keep all of the "science" nonsense to yourself. There is a lot of money at stake. The issue isn't public health. As usual, follow the money.
Find another way to preserve the vaccine than using mercury.
There is no reason to be injecting babies with a known nerve toxin.
Not only mercury but aluminum, monkey dna, fetal cells, and so on. It's some nasty stuff.
Thimerosal (sp?), the mercury containing preservative hasn't been used in more than 5 years in any vaccine.
I'm sorry to hear about your tragic situation. Have you looked into alternative therapies for detox?
Thankfully I researched the vaccine issue in depth before deciding against the shots for my children a few years ago. It was a tough call because of my inlaws' pediatric background. Thank God we held firm.
Does anyone believe in science here? Anyone?
Autism sets around the same time vaccines are administered. That does not mean the vaccines cause autism. People who neglect to give their children vaccinations are putting their children at risk and should be ashamed of their selfish behavior. I for one am glad we don't live in a world where children die from measles mumps and rubella and we must thank the vaccine for this.
There have been numerous studies that prove no statistical significant relationship between autism and MMR.
One study below:
"Results Of the 537,303 children in the cohort (representing 2,129,864 person-years), 440,655 (82.0 percent) had received the MMR vaccine. We identified 316 children with a diagnosis of autistic disorder and 422 with a diagnosis of other autistic-spectrum disorders. After adjustment for potential confounders, the relative risk of autistic disorder in the group of vaccinated children, as compared with the unvaccinated group, was 0.92 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.68 to 1.24), and the relative risk of another autistic-spectrum disorder was 0.83 (95 percent confidence interval, 0.65 to 1.07). There was no association between the age at the time of vaccination, the time since vaccination, or the date of vaccination and the development of autistic disorder."
yes, we are on the right roads to recovery. Thanks for the support.
Ignorant statements. You must be a member of the American Pediatric Society who doesn't want to get sued. I also suspect that your family has not been affected. Good for you.
According to the FDA it's still in the flu shot. And several other vaccines have reduced amounts or trace amounts of it.
Boiled down, the city of Yokohama stopped vaccinating in 1993 but the autism rates kept rising in the unvaccinated children. Something is increasing the rate of autism, but it isn't vaccines.
"Something is increasing the rate of autism, but it isn't vaccines."
It's not JUST vaccines. I don't know about Yokohama, but here in the US, non-vaccinating populations such as Amish and to a large degree homeschoolers have much lower (Amish is zero) autism rates.
And it's not just autism. There are a whole host of serious medical conditions linked to vaccination.
Educate before you vaccinate!
Out of curiosity, what did you try? Chelation? Did you make dietary modifications (eg. low gluten, low dairy)?
My heart goes out to you. I feel like you are right. The main reason no connection will ever be found it that it would probably pretty much bankrupt the drug companies that produce the vaccine and put doctors at risk of malpractice lawsuits.
Yes I believe in science and I firmly believed in vaccinating my children and now my grandchildren.
It would be nice if that were true, but it isn't. A quick google brings up several sources debunking the "Amish don't vaccinate and have no autism" myth. See here.
Thimerosal (sp?), the mercury containing preservative hasn't been used in more than 5 years in any vaccine.
"The special court is still examining evidence regarding another causation theory that links autism with vaccines containing thimersol."
It's spelled thimerosal. That's an FDA link.
It hasn't been given for at least a few years for pediatric vaccinations that are now supplied as single unit dose vials. Only annual influenza vaccinations supplied in multiple dose, aka multidose, vials uses thimerosal as a preservative, IIRC.
Coleus, did you have a link showing the various vaccines and all their ingredients?
Why would ANYBODY wanting to stop the epidemic then, do a "study" designed to exonerate a vaccination program? Shouldn't REAL scientists be trying to FIND THE FRIGGING CAUSE, instead of PROTECT THE VACCINE INDUSTRY?
I have had it with GOVERNMENT FUNDED PSEUDO-SCIENCE.
Thimerosal was removed from vaccines in 2001 and autism is still increasing so what will be the next scare?
I read something in the WSJ. I believe it hasn't been used in the production of vaccines since 2004. Certainly, there was some excess supply, but I don't think most Vaccines have a shelf-life past 12 months.
So it's definitely time to work on finding the cause, rather than keep blaming something that isn't the cause.
I don't think that the reason this study was done is to "exonerate" the vaccination industry. But, for the purposes of this discussion, let's stipulate that indeed the only reason was to validate the safety of modern day vaccines.
That is a great reason.
Vaccines are safe. Period. The real threat of increasingly un-vaccinated children is exponentially greater than the (to use your words) pseudo-scientific lynching of vaccines and their makers. Vaccines manufactured by "Big Pharma" that have all but completely eradicated real and dangerous disease that ravage parts of the undeveloped world.
In short, THANK GOD for the US vaccine industry the last 50 years. The benefit they've brought to the US and mankind is INCALCULABLE.
The Amish do vaccinate.
"It hasn't been given for at least a few years for pediatric vaccinations that are now supplied as single unit dose vials. "
Not correct. It isn't used in production of new vaccines, but there isn't any law stopping old stocks which contain thimerosal from being administered.
Regardless, the aluminum adjuvant may be even worse than mercury.
"Vaccines are safe. Period."
Show me the double blind studies with placebo.
They don't exist.
Vaccines are an abomination. Thank God they are voluntary.
Had you taken your own advice you would know that it was ethyl mercury that formed the thimerosal in vaccines and that ethyl mercury is cleared from the body three times faster than methyl mercury.
Long term exposure to mercury is what accounts for its damaging effects and methyl mercury, mostly from industrial sources, is what most people are exposed to.
Education supports vaccination.
I can't show you "double-blind" studies showing the safety or the benefit of...
Seat belts
But, that doesn't mean they're not safe and it certainly doesn't mean that they're not great ideas.
As for your charge itself, there's not a drug regulatory agency in the world that has more stringent approval procedures that the FDA. That is a fact and is why so many people with terminal cancers and other diseases travel outside the US for otherwise experimental or unapproved or vetted procedures.
If a vaccine, or any drug for that matter, is approved for use in the US, IT HAS GONE THROUGH EXTENSIVE double-blind trials.
Lifting the Veils of Autism, One by One by One
Study: Rare gene change linked to autism
New mutations implicated in half of autism cases
They come with lot numbers and expiration dates. IIRC, you have to keep a separate log for vaccines in addition to a note in the patient's chart in NY including lot numbers and expiration dates.
Aluminum is ubiquitous in the environment.
Everyone who has, or knows someone who has, an autistic child should check out a therapy called Quigong, which has been developed by a Salem, Or DR named Verma. Through a pilot program at Oregon Special ED, we got our autistic Son started at age 4. in a few days the difference was noted, and after a couple of weeks, the neighbors began to comment on the changes in him.
After the 5 mos of therapy, we continued alone with him for 2 more years until he decided he was "too big a boy" to continue. now, at 8 yo he gets lonely without his friends around and is a normal chatterbox, who notices when I say uhm hmm and asks if I am listening. the whole program is to get the kid's attention turned back outwards from self. Dr Verm's offfice is in Indepedence OR, google or you can talk to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call at 503-363-1769 (call between 7pm and7 am EDT ) Ron
oops I got the name of a DR wong in a post, it was Louisa Silva, not Verma
Autism has been increasing as has childhood allergic disease and type 1 diabetes.
So what does that say about the effectiveness of our safety testing approaches for chemicals and drugs as per prenatal, neonatal and juvenile risk? Seems obvious based on the data. No way we are getting the job done.
Drugs and chemicals are not routinely tested for risk of childhood allergic, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases? Yet that is what has been increasing among children. We apply the highest technology imaginable for drug development, but our safety testing is archaic and has lagged need by about 30-40 years.
As a kid growing up, the only MMR we had was to actually get the disease.
I had all THREE! My brother had measles and mumps at the same time! My parents were pretty worried about that, but he made it through and is still kicking today.
The only thing I remember about it was that the doctor said it was good we got the mumps before reaching puberty.
I also had scarlet fever and survived that, too. I was about 7 years old.
One of my uncles survived a bout with Typhus, and another survived Rheumatic fever. One is 64 and the other is 76 and they remain in good health.
After WWII, MMR ceased to be "dreaded" diseases here in the States and were almost rites of passage for many of us who were elementary school age in the 50s.
so what's the cause, I grew up in a big city and went to big schools and a big church and i never heard of anyone with autism. today, it's one in 150 births.
Yes, I believe in science. I also believe in liberty, which must include the liberty to be wrong.
It wasn't diagnosed properly back in the day and autistic children usually were classified as having some other disease or just weird or socially in-ept.
i don't know, we had over 2,500 kids in high school and I've never seen one act like some of the kids with autism do today and this was during the 70s when special ed. was started and they were classifying everyone who didn't seem average.
And who has mentioned the tons, quite literally tons, of illicit drugs gong into the bloodstreams of Americans every year, women of childbearing age included? How much effect is this having upon the incidence of autism, etc.?
What is the effect of repeated infections with STDs, lack of breast feeding newborns, abortions? And how can the later effects of these be tested for?
So you see it's not just too many environmental chemicals or lack of testing of medicines that may play a role in the incidence of childhood illnesses.
In some states, like NJ, it is around 1 in 60.

Chilled Water Distribution
Stanford's chilled water system distributes cooling energy produced at the Central Energy Facility to the air conditioned buildings on campus. The distribution system consists of parallel supply and return piping, circulating the chilled water throughout campus.
Chilled water at 44°F is generated at the Central Energy Facility, using steam absorption chillers, steam turbine drive chillers and electric driven centrifugal and screw chillers. The chilled water is distributed radially from the CEF via underground distribution mains (18" to 30" diameter) to form CW service loops to the Campus and Medical Center.
The underground chilled water piping system is ductile iron piping with some small branch lines using PVC. Typical building laterals are 4"-6" and supply peak cooling loads from 50 tons for smaller buildings up to 800 tons for research centers and 2000-4000 tons for main hospitals.
Each service enter the building underground into the basement mechanical room where the flow is metered in gpm and the supply temperature (42-44°F) and return temperature (52-60°F) are measured, resulting in a energy use rate in cooling tons. In the building mechanical rooms, secondary pumps send the chilled water to equipment cooling, HVAC cooling coils, HVAC chilled beams, and other special cooling requirements.
All chilled water systems are closed loop, with water makeup for leakage and water treatment being done centrally at the CEF.

Nightmare Creatures
Third Person Shooter
Single Player - Yes
Multiplayer - No
Netbook Friendly
Theme: Horror
Nightmare Creatures is a 3D horror video game released for the Sony PlayStation and PC in 1997, and Nintendo 64 in 1998. It was published by Activision and developed by Kalisto Entertainment.
The story behind Nightmare Creatures draws upon gothic horror elements of the 19th century. The story begins in 1666, when a devil-worshipping cult called the Brotherhood of Hecate were conducting sinister experiments in London so as to take over the city, and then the world. The Brotherhood tried to develop an elixir that would endow them with superhuman powers. However, rather than creating their intended superhumans, their experiments created only nightmarish creatures. When they decided to use these creatures as an army of conquest, one of their number, Samuel Pepys, set their headquarters on fire, resulting in the First Great Fire of London.
The game takes place in 1834 when London falls victim to several evil occurrences. Monster sightings are reported along with news of people mutating into ungodly creatures, and that the dead are waking from their graves and walking amongst the living. All of London is in a panic and vulnerable to the ghastly schemes of Adam Crowley, a mad scientist and occultist enlisting the help of the Brotherhood. Until a mysterious book is dropped off at the home of Ignatius Blackward, a priest and occult expert. He soon discovers that the book is a lost diary of Samuel Pepys, which contained the Brotherhood's research. Knowing he needs help, Ignatius sends the diary to a renowned American immunologist named Dr. Jean Franciscus of New Orleans, who shows up with his daughter Nadia in tow. The good doctor is promptly murdered and the book stolen. At the funeral, Ignatius and Nadia are approached by a man who gives them a note reading: "Know about Adam Crowley, Brotherhood of Hecate --- HVHJ." Ignatius and Nadia head out to an address listed on the note, hoping to seek out Crowley and to resolve the monstrous activity that grips London.
The game went freeware in May of 2005.

Emmanuel Addo is still learning the game of basketball, but he showed Saturday night he is a quick study.
Addo, a 6-foot-8 forward for the University of Northern Colorado men's basketball team, had another strong outing with 12 points and six rebounds to help the Bears to a 84-52 victory against NAIA Black Hills State at the Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
Addo, a redshirt freshman, has had an unusual path to college basketball. He was born in Canada, but when he was 5 moved to West Africa to live with his grandparents because his parents were having financial difficulties.
When his parents got through some tough economic times, they brought Addo back to Canada five years later to live with them. However, he later moved to Minnesota with his uncle where he really started getting into basketball.
It was at Northfield High School in Minnesota that he showed he could be a strong Division I player even though he spent most of his life as a soccer player.
"I just took some of the footwork and fundamentals from soccer and translated that to basketball, so it was pretty rough starting," Addo said. "They just kept learning from there."
By the time he was ready to graduate, ESPNU had him listed as one of the top forwards in the country and he was recruited by several Division I schools including UNC's Big Sky Conference foe, the University of Montana.
While Addo spent most of his time living in Canada, not exactly known as a hotbed for basketball, it helped him develop the skills that made him a good basketball player.
He certainly never considered Canada's national pastime of hockey.
"I'm too tall for skates," Addo said. "I don't do the whole ice thing."
While he started his career late, he's getting a lot of playing time now after sitting last season and watching. Even though he is not starting, he was averaging 19.1 minutes per game coming into the game and was the fourth-leading scorer on the team at 9.9 points per game. He is also averaging 4.4 rebounds.
He has given the Bears a valuable third big man to go along with senior Taylor Montgomery and junior Mike Proctor.
"He is probably our most talented big man down low offensively," UNC senior guard Devon Beitzel said. "He brings instant offense in the post. He is just a freshman, so he still learning."
Beitzel joked Addo still "needs to learn not to travel every time he touches the ball and he needs to work on things on the defensive end." Still, he said the team couldn't be happier with the way he was playing.
UNC coach B.J. Hill agreed the only thing limiting Addo from being a great player is picking it up on the defensive end.
"He is obviously very talented on the offensive end," Hill said. "It has never been a question about his offense, just whether he can maintain his focus and intensity on the defensive end of the floor which have been the challenge for him. He just needs more reps."
Still, Hill said he has an uncanny "feel for the game" even though he has only played it a short time.
"He has a great basketball IQ and guys like that are hard to find. That is why it is good to have them on your team and not against him," Hill said.

A consulting analyst (also referred to as a management consultant or management analyst) works closely with private- and public-sector firms, providing them with advice on ways to increase efficiency and address other problems. Some consulting analysts are self-employed, although they are generally employed by larger consulting firms that specialize in specific areas. Consulting analysts focus on acquiring information and analyzing it to make recommendations to improve ways of doing business with the ultimate goal of increasing a firm's profits in short- and long-term scenario.Read More...
Often, consulting analysts work as members of teams led by a more experienced senior consultant. The consulting analysts on this team are often given a specific portion of a wider target or goal. Often, they are tasked with meeting with key members of a company to gain and organize information, analyze it, and prepare reports to relay findings and make recommendations within their assigned area. When working on smaller projects (or on projects for smaller firms), they may be responsible for all areas of information gathering and analysis) while being overseen by a senior consultant who gives final approval of their results.
In virtually all cases, consulting analysts work in an office, either within their firm itself or on-site at the company whom they are analyzing. Often they meet with members of a client's management team on or off site; at times, meet with lower-level employees performing different tasks in their company's location to gain information and a feel for work processes. Hours may vary depending on the needs of their employer.
Educational requirements for consulting analysts vary; most firms require a minimum of a bachelor's degree, although extensive experience may be substituted for education. Many continue their education while employed as consultants to increase their knowledge and qualify for senior consultant positions in which they lead their own team or firm.

WARREN - An attorney representing two Champion doctors told a jury Monday that it was simply an ''irrational and impulsive act'' that caused a 25-year-old Army veteran to salute his father in the family's backyard and then shoot himself in the head.
''There is no blame in this case,'' attorney Thomas Prislipsky told jurors in his opening statements shortly after the three men and five women were selected in the courtroom of Judge Ronald Rice.
Prislipsky represents Dr. Zachary F. Veres and his father, Dr. Frank G. Veres, who are being sued in the wrongful death-medical malpractice case brought by the family of Michael J. Ecker, who was honorably discharged in 2006 after fighting in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Striker Division.
''War can do horrible things to people,'' said attorney Brian Kopp, who represents the Ecker family and who pointed out that the serviceman arrived home with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and traumatic brain injuries.
In addition, Kopp said Ecker was being treated for pain in his back. He had been a patient of the Veterans Administration Clinic for about three years and was found to be a risk for suicide.
Kopp said Ecker left the VA for treatment with the Drs. Veres approval, and the attorney blamed the doctors for spending no more than a couple minutes with Ecker at appointments.
''Not all patients can be treated in five or 10 minutes with a prescription pad,'' said Kopp.
He said that on some appointment dates, the doctors were seeing up to 70 patients in a day and they failed to uphold the standard of care by never referring Ecker to psychiatric counseling.
''The doctors never made an effort to even get his medical file from the VA,'' Kopp said. ''They were busy with Botox, laser tattoo removal, pain management, and cold and flu treatment. The absence of intervention led to this suicide.''
Kopp said Ecker's father, Matt, a former Trumbull County Jail administrator, will testify later in the case, along with two medical experts.
Testimony also is expected from experts for the doctors, according to Prislipsky, who insisted ''there was a bond of trust'' between Ecker and the doctors.
Prislipsky pointed out that Ecker fought with personnel at the VA when he couldn't get his pain medication. He said doctors there wanted Ecker to undergo drug tests that could have led to psychiatric counseling.
Shortly before the suicide, Prislipsky said Ecker had finally found a job, and his relationships with his girlfriend and his parents were fine.
The defense also is expected to call a Champion police officer to the witness stand to explain a call to the family's Center Street home over an argument about cigarettes that Ecker had with his brother, Mark.
