My first post was a rant and was too strong. That probably set the stage for some of the responses. Almost everything is dose dependent. A little pot once in a while is like having a drink or cigg once in a while, it's not going to have any great impact. I just don't feel drugs are a part of the discussion about a healthy lifestyle and I think it would be pretty bad if anyone coming on this site came away with the opinion that they are *primal*.
Yes, the radioactive substance line was a bit over the top, but I could have used any of hundreds of drugs that might help in a specific medical situation but would be a bad idea to use for fun.
Interestingly, some people claim low dose radioactivity is good for you and I believe they even have some evidence to back up their claims. There is a cave out west that's somewhat radioactive and people travel from all over to go sit in it for a period of time and make all sorts of health claims. I assume this one is dose dependent..... ha, ha.

I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Almost everyone I knew smoked pot. I was always a bit counter-culture, so I did not, just to be rebellious I think. Know what is worse than being in a room full of drunks if you're not drinking? Being in a room full of pot-heads when you're not smoking. Never saw the appeal but to each his own.
I used to smoke pot and do a lot of other drugs. Since then I have discovered the natural high of amazing health and fitness and I don't think I could ever go back to that stuff, other than maybe LSD and Mushrooms occasionally. I like to be sharp as a tact and marijuana definitely doesn't contribute to that for me. I eat like Grok, I don't think like him!
If it works for you, go ahead with it. It's obviously doing some damage but you may be willing to contend with that.

Just boil it in some butter and make some cookies.
YEAH!Just boil it in some butter...
uhhhhh...?...and make some cookies.
lbd: I disagree...I've had a much better time in a room full of high people when I wasn't high than in a room full of drunk people when I wasn't drunk.
I've only been high once but it was an enjoyable experience, and I see nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence. I didn't really get intense munchies, either - I craved chocolate and peanut butter and ended up having a square of chocolate even though I could've gorged on a big bar of it.
Robert Anton Wilson told me to mix it into some cake mix, or cookie dough one time where we were getting high at a party. I used to smoke it about once a year to remind me of why I quit. (I used to be a 3 pack a day man... that's alot of condoms...) (A-hem... I used to smoke weed on a schedual, on the hour every hour. It got old.)
As other's have mentioned mixing it in with a fat, or steeping it in alcohol would be less harmful to your health, than inhaling the burning fumes. Not so sure about the alcohol, but since PB'ers are all about the fats, mixing with Ghee, coconut butter, or using it in a "spice rub" for a fatty meal would all seem to be on the "primal" tip. Ganja, and Ghee is known as Bhang and is quite traditional in India. It has to be heated to mix with the fats properly. (I've had it in ghee, coco oil, and booze.) The efffect takes longer to show up, but is usually stronger when eaten than when smoked.
I think I read somewhere that the "munchies" are related to a drop in blood sugar, but I was high at the time, and went out to find a bowl of fruit loops, or seven, so I didn't finish the article. So that should be a consideration.
Still, been years since I've used it, and a decade since I used it regularly. I didn't find it physically addictive, pretty much quitting daily use overnight, and then curtailing social use to about once a year, and then nothing with no noticible effect. I'd usually feel pretty fatigued the next day after use, which is one reason I stopped. Not conducive to getting anything useful done, unless I needed a burst of imagination (which thankfully I have in great supply already.) Didn't lead to any "gateway" drug use, and probably spared me from alcohol consumption. I found it to be enjoyable, but a too convenient crutch for my already existing personality flaws. (Pot didn't make me lazy, it just made my laziness alot more fun.)
If I make it to 70, 80, maybe 90, I might consider indulging in it again, but for now it's not part of my life.
Gonna be legal here in CA in November, Im gonna have a primal party, all you are invited! :-D
@Bruce- I have to disagree with your first post. I know several people with MS and cancer that can live a semi-normal life because they can get marijuana medicinally. Makes you lazy? Micheal Phelps smokes pot every once in awhile, is he lazy? Not to mention the 3 smartest people I know smoke pot on a regular basis (one is in med school, the other is training in neural science, the other is in law school with me). I dont agree with you at all.

Hunley archaeologists have found one of the controls they believe will help tell the story of what happened in the Confederate submarine's final moments.
Scientists on Tuesday identified the valve used to fill the sub's aft ballast tank, called the seacock. Whether the valve is open will tell if the Hunley crew was trying to surface when the submarine disappeared after sinking the Union sloop Housatonic on Feb. 17, 1864.
As usual, though, the Hunley is reluctant to give up its secrets. The valve and attached piping are covered with concretion similar to that on the hull's exterior.
"We can see most of what looks like pumps and valves, but we can't see enough to tell whether it's open or closed," project manager Bob Neyland said. "The pump must be farther back."
Here's how it worked: The Hunley floated on the surface until its fore and aft sea cocks were opened, letting water into its two ballast tanks. That water would serve as the weight needed to submerge the sub. When the crew had as much water as they wanted in the tanks, they closed the valves. To expel the water, they used pumps, one for each ballast tank.
The valve identified Tuesday is nearly under the sub's aft hatch. Farther up in the crew compartment, scientists believe they have found the first signs of the hand crank that eight of the nine crew members turned to power the submarine's propeller.
Neyland said there are a couple of bumps in fudge-like mud packed in the sub's interior that could be first signs of the hand cranks. Although some historical accounts differ, most people said the crew sat on the sub's port side and the crank was attached on the starboard side. Scientists have been expecting to find the crank any day.
They soon may get a better idea of what's coming up in the excavation when they X-ray the crew compartment. The team tried that before the excavation began, but the sediment was too tight for the X-rays to penetrate.
Scientists are also still debating whether to remove another panel on the top of the submarine. So far they have removed three hull plates to gain access to the Hunley's interior. Now, to better reach the forward controls - where they expect to find the highest concentration of artifacts - they want to remove the hull plate just aft of the forward conning tower. The rub is that that plate holds the stuffing box for the sub's snorkels, and scientists don't want to remove the plate if there is any danger of damaging that mysterious piece of the sub's equipment.
As the team gets deeper into the sub, the discoveries are coming almost daily. Last week, they found two buttons from a crewman's jacket and the bench the crew sat on. Earlier this week, they found a medicine bottle and a shelf.

Ben Cherington admitted all of that on Tuesday.
Now, as Boston's new general manager, he must work on a daunting array of tasks left behind when Theo Epstein departed to become president of baseball operations of the Chicago Cubs.
"My eyes are wide opened that there are going to be tough days that come with this job," Cherington, who joined the Red Sox in 1999 as a mid-Atlantic scout, said at his introductory news conference, "but there's so much enormous upside."
The franchise sank to a new low with the worst September collapse in baseball history. The Red Sox began the month in first place in the AL East and with a nine-game lead on the Tampa Bay Rays for a wild-card berth. But the Rays won that spot on the final day of the regular season.
Then, reports came out about problems in the clubhouse. A Boston Globe story said starting pitchers Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and John Lackey drank beer and ate fried chicken there during games in which they weren't scheduled to pitch.
Will the team ban beer in the clubhouse during games?
"There's a lot that goes into a good clubhouse culture," said Cherington, who spent the last three years as Epstein's assistant. "We're going to hire a manager. That's a very important step. And he's going to work with us on any changes that we feel are necessary."
One of his immediate priorities is settling on compensation from the Cubs for signing Epstein with one year left on his contract.
"I'm sure Theo and I will get a chance to talk about it in the coming days. There was an agreement from both sides that we were to receive significant compensation," Cherington said. "So the question is: can we agree on what significant compensation means?"
Cherington, 37, also must replace Terry Francona, whose eight-year run as manager ended two days after the season. He has "a short list" of candidates and expects to begin interviews soon, although he noted that Francona wasn't hired until after Thanksgiving in 2004.
"I want someone who cares about players but is also willing and ready to have tough conversations with them," he said.
Francona was known as a players' manager with few rules, but team president Larry Lucchino said Tuesday the team doesn't necessarily need a sterner boss.
"We just want an effective leader whose voice the players respond to," he said. "Sometimes that can be a gentle rider. Sometimes that needs to be more of a disciplinarian."
The key is having talented, committed players.
Cherington said he wants to retain designated hitter David Ortiz and closer Jonathan Papelbon, both eligible for free agency, and has had "initial dialogue" with both.
Before last season, the Red Sox traded for first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and signed left-fielder Carl Crawford as a free agent. But Crawford had a disappointing season.
And John Lackey, signed in 2010 to a five-year, $82.5 million contract, went 12-12 with a 6.41 ERA. Cherington said Tuesday that the right-hander will undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and that he expects Lackey to have a much better season in 2013.
The track record on free agent signings is not "good enough," Cherington said, but "there are players on this team now that we signed as free agents that we still really believe in and that I was a strong proponent of signing."
One of those was Crawford and Cherington expects him to bounce back.
Still, "I think we have to look at that (free agent) area and look critically at perhaps why we haven't performed as well."
Cherington joined the Red Sox when John Harrington was owner and Dan Duquette was general manager. John Henry, Tom Werner and Lucchino took over as owners in 2002 and fired Duquette at spring training that year.
Cherington became director of player development in 2002. Then, when Epstein left after the 2005 season in a difference of opinion over front office responsibilities, Cherington and Jed Hoyer served as co-general managers for six weeks before Epstein returned.
Lucchino praised Cherington as "the ultimate team player, and his hunger for the future success of the Boston Red Sox is second to none."
Having worked closely with Epstein, how is Cherington different from his predecessor? After all, both grew up in New England as Red Sox fans.
"Well," he said, "I can't play guitar."
And his news conference wasn't as well attended as Epstein's earlier in the day.
"Thanks to those of you who avoided the flight to Chicago and stayed here," he said to reporters who skipped Epstein's introduction by the Cubs.
But he acknowledged that he and Epstein have a similar approach to building a team, combining statistical analysis with traditional scouting and having "relentless lineups that are full of guys that get on base and drive up pitch counts."
That helped bring World Series championships in 2004 and 2007, the Red Sox first since 1918.
And Cherington sounded a note of optimism that the team, which ended August with an 83-52 record, would recover from the September flop.
"I know we've let our fans down in recent weeks," he said. "They've been painful, difficult, but what I'm left with is an incredible conviction that the Red Sox will be the best organization moving forward."

After giving Gus such grief about the "insufferable hour," "Seize the Day" shifted my radio time to the less-sufferable hour of 8am EST.
On Feb. 4 I spoke about my conversion from Lutheran to Catholic, and provided a very brief thumbnail version of my journey of faith. We also talked about the upcoming Super Bowl and a faithful counterpart, "Faith Bowl III," a program featuring prominent baseball players talking about their Catholic faith that's airing on EWTN on Super Bowl Sunday. Find our coverage here.
I also spoke about two recent stories I wrote for the National Catholic Register. One takes a look at how the apostolic constitution allowing Anglicans to come into the Catholic Church might play out in the U.S. The other story takes a look at a recent federal study that demonstrates an increased risk of breast cancer by women who take oral contraceptives, particularly those who begin taking the pill at young ages.
Finally, I gave Gus my Super Bowl prediction. To find out who I chose, you'll have to listen to the broadcast.

In English. Ajedi-Ka was founded in 1988 and was comprised of three key project areas: poverty alleviation, the environment, and child soldiers. Following the 1998 war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the organization decided to focus its attention on child soldiers, thus creating AJEDI-Ka/PES (Child Soldier Project/Projet Enfants Soldats) that same year. The website contains materials regarding projects and programs, including video and photography.

Kids and parents are anxiously awaiting a decision from Mobile and Baldwin County schools officials on Monday to learn if schools will close Tuesday, when ice and snow is currently predicted in the forecast.
Officials with the Mobile County school system said that they will reach a decision by noon, and Saraland City Schools Superintendent Aaron Milner said the system will make an announcement by 1:30 p.m. Baldwin County schools officials are also expected to make a decision during the day on Monday. School officials said they are working with local emergency management officials to determine the best course of action.
A teacher commented that a delay is not what teachers want.
"Delaying the start created classrooms with 10 or less kids. I spent two days unable to teach valuable lessons because I had 5 kids in one class, 8 in another, 10 in one, and 3 in another! I've been playing catch up ever since. We teachers also had to come at regular time having to bring our children with us and we've had days just as cold since then. Just close if necessary, I beg you," Kim Wakefield commented.
Parents agreed.
"If it snows, all of my children will be home! It rarely snows here so I want them to be able to enjoy it while it lasts," Holly Knight wrote.
Several other parents expressed concern about safety of buses without heat as well as driving conditions in the snow.

Look, I managed to get two teases in one photo.
As you can see, Rachel Rising 10 is in hand. The release date is set for August 22. This is a Global Release Date, meaning all stores (well, all the stores that carry my books) and Comixology will have it available the same day. We do this to avoid wide-spread panic and rioting. So, August 22. Write that on your arm with a Sharpie.
This cover art has been on the web for all the world to see for months. It has received a lot of positive responses. Actually, all positive responses, except one. One gentleman suggested the image could be racially offensive, because it depicts a noose. As you can imagine, I was very concerned about his opinion. We exchanged emails. I told him there were no elements of racism in Rachel Rising. This story is about one thing, the 16th century witch trials. They hanged women for witchcraft back then. In Rachel Rising, the town of Manson hanged real witches who come back 300 years later for revenge. This cover depicts the execution of one of those witches. The defiant smile on her face and the symbols of witchcraft she wears all give the same message: you're making a big mistake. That's the crux of the story. But you have to read the book to find out. The gentleman admitted he hadn't read the book.
I know, judging a book by its cover and all that. Still, it happens.
In all fairness, he was just talking about the image or, to be more precise, the noose. So I want to reassure him, and you, this cover and this story are about the witch trials. They hanged witches back then. Please don't associate it with anything else. The French Revolution and the Spanish Inquisition hanged the accused, among other nasty forms of execution. It had nothing to do with American racism. Rachel Rising is meant to be seen the same way.
So, I am running with this cover because it is integral to the story and the story has nothing to do with racism. If you want to know the truth, all my stories are about victims surviving an angry world and all my covers are about boobs. Boobs sell. And I love them.

I'm new to the forum, but I've been researching paleo/primal for months. It started with the documentary Fat Head. Then I read everything I could find on the subject and spent hours searching the internet. I read PB and decided to start the year off going primal.
I have to say, I love the way of eating. However, I have not seen the weight loss I had hoped to see. I am starting out quite overweight and have only lost a few pounds. However, I think that the difficulty of exercise in Indiana during the winter, lack of sleep, too much dairy, and a sinus infection all made things more difficult.
Anyway, I'm 39 years old, and have been dealing with obesity since the birth of my second child in 2002. I followed the standard weight-loss diets, high in whole grains and low in saturated fats. I have put on a few more pounds each year doing that. I joined Weight Watchers in 2009 and lost about 25 pounds, and then put 35 back on.
So that's me - looking for a way to eat more naturally, feel healthy, and be at an optimum weight.

It is certainly pleasant to see one's name in the above list. --
I was taught by a Platonist in my "Intro to Philosophy" course. He claimed that he was the only one left in the department, and would get mail addressed to "Platonist, UF Philosophy Dept." -- Pete Hardie
as a Platonist? The same guy who rejected the concept of "objective time" in physics because it could never be measured? Einstein was a romantic, a serious atheist who made conspicuous references to "God", that doesn't mean he was a Platonist.
Einstein was a physicist. I'm not sure on what basis the scores given him were made - certainly, nothing I've read about him shows him to be in one camp or another. Clearly, he thought that the field equations described
real, but I think that platonism, as in believing that integers exist, is different from physicists believing their equations describe
the real world
or is only a mathematical approximation to it. So I'd remove Feynman from the list also.
You did notice that the only person to rate him put him at 2, yes? This is a list of people whose views might be interesting, not a list of hard-core platonists.
It seems dangerous to be commingling physicists and mathematicians in this enquiry. Or rather, to be commingling physical thought and mathematical thought. Platonic issues, I think, play very different roles in these two fields.
I'd add Kronecker, who is known to have said:
God invented the integers, all else is the work of man.
So integers are Platonic and everything else is constructed? Perhaps this poll is not so useful? Or is this what is meant by "soft-core Platonism"?
Why does one need to reject the Continuum Hypothesis (which is what #2 above amounts to) in order to be a HardCorePlatonist
? Never encountered that before.
#2 is nothing to do with the Continuum Hypothesis. CH says that there are no cardinals between aleph-0 and P(aleph-0). #2 above is about ordinals, not cardinals, and more specifically about the fact that the class of all ordinals, even though it's "obviously" well-ordered, has no corresponding ordinal. Stephan's point is that if you are bothered by this, it suggests that you think the ordinals are really "out there".
The two paragraphs above are broken. #2 (if we count from 1, anyway)
about the Continuum Hypothesis, but doesn't say you have to reject it to be an HCP. It says that if you think it's a real question then you're an HCP.
The top list seems a little bit odd...thinking the natural numbers really exist somewhere (nowhere? everywhere?) is clearly Platonism, but what about the others? I'm not really sure about any of this, but here are my thoughts - please CutThemToRibbons
if they are erring:
...whether there is an infinite, uncountable set of numbers not equivalent to the reals?
The very fact that the proposition is undecidable means that there isn't one - not in ZF. It's just that ZF can't prove that, so you could construct a bigger system which has such a thing and is still consistent, just like you can add SuperNaturalNumbers
to TNT (typographical number theory).
ZF isn't a model, it's a theory. It doesn't answer all the questions. It's an error to say "there isn't one - not in ZF". It might be the case (though, as it happens, it's not) that there is no model of ZF that lacks all the things that ZF can't prove the existence of.
The point is that there is a model for ZF satisfying ZF+CH, so the extra sets aren't necessary. I know the distinction between model and theory but how relevant is it here? When you talk about the Peano axioms there is a certain system that readily comes to mind, and it doesn't include Supernaturals although they are not explicitly forbidden.
Theories (of set theory) do not contain sets. ZF doesn't contain the empty set, or the set of all sets, or anything like that. The Peano axioms do not contain the number 0. It's clear that
have a preference for small models, but the theory itself doesn't have.
It's probably true that we understand the "standard model" of N as clearly as we understand the Peano axioms, and that it's reasonable to prefer that model to others. I don't think anything comparable is true for set theory. The main thing we know about our intuition, ever since Russell, is that it's broken. :-) So you're welcome to think that you have a "standard model" of ZF in your head, and that it definitely satisfies CH; but I think you have less in your head than you think you have.
For instance, does your model of ZF satisfy the Axiom of Choice? (There are models of ZF that do, and there are models that don't.) If it satisfies AC, then (for instance) it contains non-measurable sets. I'd guess that your preference for minimality makes you prefer
to satisfy AC. Does it satisfy the Generalized Continuum Hypothesis? Since you prefer CH, I conjecture that you prefer GCH too. Well, if you have the preferences I think you have, then you're out of luck, because actually GCH implies AC. :-)
Does it indeed? For some reason I remembered the implication as going the other way...a while ago I looked for an example of two contradictory minimalist assumptions, and because of this misunderstanding didn't find one. So OK, that changes everything, and thanks very much for the info! -- JG
I should admit that I'm being a little cheeky here. There is a sense in which ZF really does have a "minimal model", and as it happens that model satisfies AC. I'm just pointing out that waving your hands and saying "ZF doesn't prove this thing exists, therefore this thing doesn't exist in ZF" is liable to get you into a terrible mess.
...but then it that case, how does ZF still have a minimal model?
is not an OrdinalNumber
isn't a ZF-set, either, but it seems that you can have it in a weaker axiom system. I'm not totally confident in that, but I suggested it on
and no-one has had any qualms yet.
I think the impossibility of
being an ordinal goes deeper than that. By the way, not all set theories with universal sets are "weaker" than ZF.
...you think that reams of paper filled with funny squiggles have some meaning...
First, to kill the obvious - clearly they have some meaning, since we understand certain symbols to be the same regardless of position or font or so forth. Obviously they have meanings the same way words do, by mapping to mental equivalents of the same symbol, and that's not what we're talking about.
I certainly don't know enough to say, but can one say they have no meaning and still explain MathematicalCoincidences
- how nontrivially different axiom schema often tend to give the same results? For instance, the many systems that turn out to be ZF or Turing machines, or the underlying connections between Lie groups and polyhedra or limits of quotients and limits of sums.
...you are trying to reduce all of mathematics to set theory...
Doesn't saying mathematics is squiggles essentially do this for you? Well, maybe not reducing mathematics to set theory, but certainly reducing it to something - one could tell you a list of properties that any string of symbols satisfies, and if that's all math is, poof! - you have reduced it all to string theory (and how do you talk about a formal system anyways, without "sets" of theorems and axioms that satisfy some sort of properties?)
I don't want to be promoting an agenda (and certainly not to get in a holy war), because I honestly don't know about any of this stuff...it would be nice for someone who knows the field to come in and explain all the different viewpoints, and how each of them works or doesn't work. At least, if people are going to be RampantAntiPlatonists
, to know how exactly the alternatives handle things.
I'm led to wonder - is there a special mathematical sense in which the word 'Platonism' is being used on this page? Because as far as I can tell, it has only the loosest connection to Plato's philosophy. --
It's the usual sense restricted somewhat. Remember Plato thought all sorts of abstractions, like chairs and happiness and truth and red, existed somewhere as eternal ideals. A mathematical Platonist would be someone who thinks that mathematical abstractions at least have this sort of existence.
I read an article recently (10/1/2003) on a possible resolution of the Continuum Hypothesis. Start by looking at all the mathematical problems even remotely related to the CH. Now try to find a single axiom that resolves
of them one way or another. Any axiom that does so is called an
axiom. It turns out the elegant axioms all say the same thing.
What exactly do the
axioms say?

Please attend the open forum to discuss the University of Nevada, Reno's strategic plan.
The initial draft of the 2015-21 plan is posted at http://www.unr.edu/provost/strategic-planning. The draft plan draws upon the current (2009-15) plan, the recent NWCCU self-study document and the December 2012 "Commission Report;" however, when complete, the plan is intended to stand on its own with quantifiable metrics. This will also be a "living plan" that is revisited on a regular basis and updated as appropriate.


text: 05/08/12: Secrecy News reports US Air Force policy permits the incidental collection of domestic imagery by unmanned aerial systems (drones), but ordinarily would not allow targeted surveillance of a US person. The Air Force policy was restated in a newly reissued instruction on oversight of Air Force intelligence. "Air Force Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations, exercise and training missions will not conduct nonconsensual surveillance on specifically identified US persons, unless expressly approved by the Secretary of Defense, consistent with US law and regulations," the instruction stated. However, the instruction says, "collected imagery may incidentally include US persons or private property without consent."

Joseph J. MacCracken, 65, of the Mayfair section of Northeast Philadelphia, a former Catholic high school teacher, died of bile duct cancer Wednesday, Oct. 19, at home.
Born in Philadelphia, Mr. MacCracken graduated from Lincoln High School in 1963 and earned a bachelor's degree in 1967 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied on a full scholarship.
From 1968 to 1985, Mr. MacCracken taught chemistry, English, math, physics, and Spanish at Archbishop Ryan High School for Girls in Philadelphia.
A friend and former Ryan student of Mr. MacCracken's, Barbara Baur, said that from 1985 to '86 he taught science at Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls in Philadelphia and that from 1986 until his retirement in 1989 he taught at Cardinal O'Hara High School in Springfield, Delaware County.

Come Together on Education Reform
Though bipartisanship now feels like a footnote in a history book, both parties have an opportunity to work together again on a big issue: education.
The revised Elementary and Secondary Education Act, known as No Child Left Behind, passed in the Senate and House with overwhelming bipartisan support under George W. Bush. Now, Congress must come together again to reauthorize it.

This is going to be some international family! Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd and his wife, English actress Alice Evans, are expecting a baby, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
This will be the first child for the couple, who currently live in Los Angeles.
The Fantastic Four actor, 35, met Evans, 37, while filming 2002's 102 Dalmations and they wed in the fall of 2007.
Gruffudd, who gained fame across the pond starring as Horatio Hornblower in Hornblower – the British made-for-TV films based on C.S. Forester's novels – has also appeared in 2004's King Arthur and 2006's Amazing Grace, and played former British Prime Minister Tony Blair in Oliver Stone's W. last year. He next appears with Julia Roberts in Fireflies in the Garden, due out in June.

Grossman lived in an epoch of repression. Not only human freedom but the human personality itself was placed outside the law. Grossman was aware of this, and he sought and formulated "laws" which could be put above the arbitrariness of the system. From Stepan Kol'chugin (1937-40), his early and most typical socialist realist novel, Grossman had been seeking such laws. He was interested in the laws of life and death, war and love: in short, in laws as yet unknown to others. Starting out as a Marxist, he tested Marxist dogmas with the power of his intellect. For this, it was necessary to crack the Marxist code, so as to return its all words to their previous meaning – and then to look at, and listen to, those words afresh.…

Julia Gillard, the Australian Prime Minister, is getting used to her footwear tripping her up.
Just a week after stumbling in Parliament over a troublesome Slipper, Ms Gillard fell flat on her face today when she tripped on a grassy lawn, losing both her shoes.
The incident happened during an official visit to India. Ms Gillard had just laid a wreath at a Gandhi memorial in Delhi when her heel caught in the grass as she crossed a lawn to a press conference, giving the waiting cameramen their shot of the day.

UT/TT Poll: Texans Split on Immigration Overhaul
A narrow majority of registered Texas voters would favor an overhaul of federal immigration law that included a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already in the U.S., according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.
Opposition to that sort of change is strong, too, at 44 percent.
"Support for comprehensive immigration reform increased by six points since our last poll" in October, said James Henson, co-director of the poll and head of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin. He said the changes coincide with a national debate on the subject, but ...

Assault rifles
Some time ago I gave my hunting gun to one of my sons. I had seen the best of quail hunting in South Carolina and big game hunting in Kenya.
But a statement by Coach Pat Kelsey, basketball coach at Winthrop University, inspired me to do anything I could to draw a sharp line between hunting and killing other human beings.
I share Coach Kelseys sense of urgency, and hope we can do whatever it takes to protect our children and grandchildren, to favor thorough background checks, and to eliminate assault rifles to the extent possible.

Gun control
After reading the Dec. 19 article concerning gun sales Im assuming that the people purchasing those guns feel the same way as those who drink and drive.
Despite the news about drinking and driving and subsequent tragedies, people still do it because they feel they have control of the situation, that it wont ever happen to me.
Im sure the mother of the Connecticut slayer felt the same way.

Use facts
In a Dec. 15 story, a Johns Island resident was quoted as saying, Kiawah wants an interstate right to their front door ... a golfway. For the eight years I have been following the Johns Island roads issue, such pearls of wisdom have been used in place of facts.
These roads are a safety issue, not an issue of travel time to the airport.
There are about 2,500 fulltime residents on Kiawah and Seabrook.
These islands, plus Freshfields and Bohicket Marina, are responsible for up to 11,000 jobs. People from Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, Summerville, West Ashley, Moncks Corner and Johns Island have to travel Bohicket, Main and River roads every day and night.
Some Johns Islanders are trying to get to jobs at Boeing and to the city of Charleston. Tourists and golf events draw people and pour money into this area, keeping taxes lower. Emergency service vehicles need clear access. Its a safety issue for all of us.
Five studies done by LPA/County Council over 15 years have recommended I-526/Greenway to handle growth that is already occurring. Growth on Johns Island is a zoning and economic issue. Roads are infrastructure. There has been only one new road on Johns Island in the last 20 years the three-mile Betsy Kerrison Parkway.
I dont see massive development along this road. In fact, sweetgrass basket weavers use the wide median for their weaving business. Seems to still be rural.
Lets use facts.

Good experience
Moving back to South Carolina after living in Florida for the past 17 years, we were surprised at all the papers we had to fill out to get our new license and car tag. I was apprehensive about the whole procedure.
When we arrived at the Ladson branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles, we were warmly greeted and given our numbers.
Each of the ladies was helpful, not rushing us and wearing smiles on their faces. They went out of their way to help. Everything went like clockwork a well-oiled machine.

Give God his place
Ive watched many of the media reports, and have listened to numerous Bandaid solutions to senseless killings like those that occurred in Connecticut last week.
Im being called a religious conservative extremist for saying this, but the cause and solution lie in the same context.
America just refuses to acknowledge it, and the government totally ignores it because it really exposes its liberal agenda of creating a purely secular nation, better known as a socialist republic.
The problem originated in 1962 when prayer was removed from our public schools.
We now have a generation of adults who have grown children who dont know about godly moral values and who have no solid foundation of credible Christian values that they could lean on when they become disturbed in life.
As a result they turn to violence in an attempt to get peace that can only come from a savior, and I dont mean President Obama.
Until and unless this nation puts God in charge and once again establishes solid Christian values, we havent begun to see the horror and violence that is about to be unleashed.
Why wont we pay attention?

Union rhetoric
Under no circumstances am I a union advocate, but I know enough about unions and their role that I offer the following alternative view on the right-to-work controversy in Michigan.
In this democracy when more than 50 percent of voters agree on one side of an issue, does the opposition get to disregard the vote and implement the opposite side of the issue?
When we vote on whether to raise the local sales tax, where does it say I can ignore this and not pay the increased tax because I voted against it?
Take the same concept and apply it to the vote to unionize or not.
If the vote is legally conducted and the majority of workers in that group decide they want a union to represent them, since when is it OK for the workers who voted against the union not to pay dues?
The union is obligated to protect their rights just as they are obligated to protect the rights of those workers who voted for the union, and it takes dollars to do so.
Lets talk about what the real reform needs to be. There is no way union dues should ever be allowed to be used for supporting a political candidate or party.
They should be used exclusively to administer the contractual rights of the workers and for collective bargaining.
If union members want to support a candidate they need to do it the same way the rest of us do, and that is by making contributions out of their own pockets.
Secondly the card check process used in lieu of secret ballots needs to be outlawed. Once again it is not our democratic practice to hand a ballot to a voter and wait for him to fill it out and hand it back to one of the candidates.
That is intimidating at best.
As a former manager in a unionized company, I say stop the right-to-work rhetoric and enact some meaningful reform.

Street smoker ban
The Charleston City Council passed the first reading of a smoking ban (pedestrians only) in some areas surrounding the outside of downtown Roper and MUSC centers.
Why stop with tobacco products? Why not also prohibit fossil fuel-powered motor vehicles around the hospitals too?
After all, it cant be safe to breathe all those nasty fumes, especially in the parking garages. At least one school in Mount Pleasant has a sign at the student drop-off/pick-up point that reads, Turn off engine. Children Breathing Here.
And lets not forget the downtown residents who oppose the cruise ships belching diesel exhaust over their neighborhoods.
Hospital patients, staff and visitors could be forced to park over at Brittlebank Park or the Joe and brought to the medical centers via horse carriages or bicycle taxis.
Vagrants could be employed to transport by foot and pull-wagon medical supplies from delivery trucks to the hospitals.
And the resulting vacant parking garages could be converted to more clinics and hospital facilities. See how easy this is?

Facing lackluster performance from the Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Surface RT and Surface Pro, the company is hoping that, by turning to businesses through resellers like CDW, sales can improve.

In addition to opening distribution channels, Mr. Softy is rolling out a program to encourage developers to work on new apps in an effort to become more competitive.

Super-Heroes Mashed Up With Volkswagen Vans For Reasons We Do Not Understand
If you're like us, you've seen a lot of "What If" stories in comics over the years. "What if Wolverine was a vampire," "what if the Punisher killed Spider-Man," "what if Conan got stuck in the early '80s and started dressing like a pimp," we thought we'd seen 'em all.
"What if super-heroes were actually customized Volkswagen vans," however, is a new one.
As we learned today, this is the question that British tattoo artist, comic book fan and apparent Volkswagen enthusiast Mark Hunter has sought to answer with a series of "Photoshop drawings" mashing up his favorite DC and Marvel super-heroes with the beloved 1950 VW van (also available as iPhone cases!). I have to confess that I can't quite understand the logic behind them, but I won't deny that there's something uniquely fascinating about them, which is why we've got a full gallery today!
Like I said, there's something almost hypnotic about these things, especially the Batvan (which I can totally buy as being absolutely terrifying to criminals) and the Dubdevil (which, appropriately enough, looks less like it's swinging through the city and more like it's being driven off a rooftop by a blind man), but my absolute favorite of the lot has got to be this one:
WINGS ON THE HUBCAPS, folks. There's no getting around the fact that that is awesome.

Liverpool getting prepared to make a move for Argentine midfielder in January
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is reported to be following Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore with renewed zeal and may make a move for him when the transfer window reopens in January. News of the Reds' interest in the Argentine has come following reports of the player growing disillusioned with life at Parc des Princes.
Pastore's agent Marcelo Simonian has revealed that his client has been unhappy at PSG this season and hinted of him being open to a possibility of a move. He said: "In football there are always ups and downs. He has been happy there, but now is not the time for nostalgia. We will see what happens in the next few months."
The Reds are believed to be monitoring the progress of the 24 year old for quite some time now. According to reports in Gazzetta Dello Sport, Rodgers is confident of landing Pastore in January despite interest in the player from the likes of AC Milan and Napoli.
It is reported that PSG may consider doing business if Liverpool agree to pay around £17m for the Argentine.

The Portland City Council will hold a public hearing at 2 p.m. on Thursday to discuss a proposed street fee on residents and business owners.
What does that mean? The public has its first chance to weigh in on a fee that would raise money for safety and maintenance on city streets. Attendees may address the five person Portland City Council directly.
Is this the first you've heard of any of this street fee talk?
Here's some light reading (our previous coverage).
We will be reporting from the City Hall hearing and live blogging what's expected to be a lengthy hearing, in case you want to follow along.
In lieu of reading back through months of clips, here are a few answers to common questions.
What is a street fee?
Newly dubbed the "transportation utility fee," the street fee is a revenue source used by some 28 other Oregon cities. It is a fee charged to residents that is intended to raise money specifically for street improvement projects.
Why are we talking about this now?
Ever since he took office, Mayor Charlie Hales has talked about the need to address Portland's woeful road conditions. Commissioner Steve Novick, who oversees the Bureau of Transportation, also started pushing to address Portland's roads in recent months. According to the city's most recent condition report, roughly half of both neighborhood and heavily-trafficked streets are in poor or very poor condition. Starting in February, Hales and Novick started holding town hall meetings to listen to residents' priorities for transportation projects. That escalated to a poll and subsequent decision to pursue a street fee. That brings us to today.
How did it get this bad?
There are many reasons the city's roads have fallen into disrepair. A city audit released last year pointed the blame at PBOT and the City Council. "City Council chose to invest in competing transportation priorities without an overall strategy," auditors wrote last year. "The lack of an overall transportation strategy has essentially made street maintenance a low priority in the City's budget."
To get the streets up to snuff, auditors said the city would need to spend $75 million per year for a decade.
OK, how much will this cost me?
If you're a homeowner, the fee would cost you $11.56 per month (roughly $139 per year). Lower-income folks would pay $8.09 per month for a household. Apartment complexes would pay $6.79 per unit, with a further discount for multifamily apartment units (roughly $4.75 per unit).
I own a business. What would I pay?
Now comes the interesting part. In case you missed it, the city is expected to split the transportation fee into two separate proposals. Portland is using a national model that calculates estimated trips to various types of businesses and charges them based on their trips and their overall square footage. It's a system that, PBOT officials acknowledge, is complex and leads to many unanswered questions. Late on Wednesday, PBOT said that the city was reexamining whether to exempt parking lots from paying the fee. Food carts will also likely owe a fee. For some businesses, the annual cost could number in the thousands of dollars.
Are people upset?
In a word, yes. There's a Facebook group opposing the proposal, and Hales' office said they received 300 emails in the past few days from constituents. Hales is expected to delay the business portion of the fee in part due to increasing concern from the chamber of commerce and other powerful lobbying organizations.
Why can't voters decide this?
Hales and Novick said they're doing what they're elected to do: make a tough decision to address a longstanding issue. Novick went so far as to say last week that voters could decide to throw the pair out of office in 2016 if they're so angry. If it's enacted, voters or organizations could raise signatures to put the measure on the ballot for repeal.
Why are they moving so fast?
Novick and Hales have said the city can't afford to wait much longer, as roads continue to degrade. The quick timing is also intended so that if groups do want to bring the issue to the ballot, it would be on the November docket (which could bode well for Democrats, in terms of turnout, due to the gubernatorial and high-profile U.S. Senate race). Timing wise, in order for a prospective ballot measure to meet election timelines, city officials say the measure would need to be enacted in early June.
When would this start?
Hales and Novick said if approved, the fee wouldn't go into effect until July 2015, allowing other public agencies (such as Portland Public Schools) to incorporate any additional costs into their budget.
Will this pass?
Too soon to tell. Hales and Novick just need one additional vote to enact the fee. Commissioner Amanda Fritz is the swing vote, and she's said in recent days that she hasn't made up her mind on whether to approve a street fee
How do I watch it?
Portland City Hall is open to the public. The hearing begins at 2 p.m. at the council chambers 1221 S.W. 4th Ave. You can also watch online.

Malvern, PA - Curry Durborow, a physical therapist at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, received the 2012 Advocate Award from the Anapol Schwartz Foundation in a presentation at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital last week. The award recognizes efforts to help individuals affected by disabling injuries lead better, more productive lives.
Durborow was selected from five finalists through online voting. As part of the prize, the Foundation presents a $5,000 grant to the charity of the winner's choice. Durborow contributed her $5,000 prize money to the Brain Injury Association of PA. The presentation was made by Joel Feldman, managing partner of the Anapol Schwartz law firm, and Drew Naegele, MD, Executive Director of Beechwood Rehabilitation Services, accepted the donation on behalf of BIAPA.
"It was really an honor to be selected to receive the Advocate Award," said Durborow. "The support in raising awareness, as well as for those who have sustained brain injuries and their families, is inspiring. This grant will enable the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania to continue to prevent brain injuries and improve the quality of life for people who already have experienced brain injury, as well as their family members. The support, education, advocacy and research the Association provides are critical to so many."
Durborow, who specializes in locomotor training at BMRH, established an Annual Race for Recovery 5k, held in West Chester since 2009 for runners, walkers and wheelchair athletes. Proceeds from the event benefit BIAPA.

Are Ducks being hurt by reputation -- literally?March 21st, 2013, 9:31 am by ERIC STEPHENS
ANAHEIM -- The biggest victory of an out-of-nowhere season to date was in the books and Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau couldn't truly enjoy it.
On the faceoff after Teemu Selanne's goal that proved to be the winner late in the third period of Wednesday's come-from-behind 4-2 victory, Ducks winger Andrew Cogliano took a stick to his mouth, courtesy of Chicago's Brandon Bollig.(VIDEO).
Cogliano would lose his two front teeth and Boudreau said his key forward "gets viciously hit in the mouth with no puck there." The coach took the opportunity to release some pent-up frustration.
"It boggles my mind," Boudreau said. "Every game, that we're getting high sticked. Double minored. And we don't get the calls. That's one power play again (for us). One penalty (committed) against us. It's getting kind of ridiculous."
His overall points: His Ducks are no longer the big, bad undisciplined Ducks of years past and not only are they not getting enough calls but that they've too often been on the receiving end of plays that tread the line of illegality or skip over it.Read the rest of this entry »

If you hold meetings with people that you lead and manage, peers, stakeholders or key clients, this post holds a piece of really helpful information that could help you save yourself and the other party loads of hassle. I could also help you protect your business.
I've written before about why I find it incredible that so many coaches and managers do their coaching sessions in coffee shops or hotel lobbies. I get that these spaces help keep costs down. It is also clear that the atmosphere can be more relaxed in such venues and this might help the flow of conversations. However, without the need for me to put on a 1960's trench coat, dark glasses and have a button-hole microphone at my disposal, it is way too easy to overhear the content of these conversations. Too often managers and/or coaches seem oblivious to the fact that their discussions can be heard by anyone sitting within earshot.
This isn't new advice from me but for new readers and those of you that have forgotten about it, it is worth reiterating from the perspective of 'good practice'. I'm not saying that you should immediately stop all meetings you hold in these venues but just raise your awareness about the content and whether it is still appropriate to continue. At least, that was my rather pragmatic view of what you should do, until very recently …
Insider's Insight
Last week I had the great pleasure of working with a very senior Comms team in one of the UKs most successful high street retailers. A great group of people, passionate about their work and keen to learn about coaching. When I mentioned this point about not holding coaching-type conversations in their local coffee-shop, there was the usual pause to make sense of the advice and then it was followed by the following disturbing insight…
Due to their very close work with national newspaper journalists, this group were only too well aware that journalists and 'freelance hacks' (their term not mine!) very often hang around such coffee shops. Why? In order to overhear such conversations to get juicy gossip that might make tomorrow's headlines.
If that doesn't make you think twice about holding conversations with sensitive details in your local coffee shop/ restaurant/ hotel lobby/ train journey etc etc I don't know what will.

London College of Communication (LCC) is proud to announce that MA Photojournalism and Documentary Photography graduate Jordi Ruiz Cirera has been awarded The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2012 at the National Portrait Gallery.
The award-winning photograph is a portrait of Margarita Teichroeb, a woman from the religious Mennonite community in Bolivia where photography is forbidden.
It was part of a long term project by Ruiz Cirera, portraying the daily life of this religious community. Having travelled to South America on two occasions, Ruiz Cirera gradually won the trust of the residents of several colonies located south of Santa Cruz.
The Mennonites' uneasy relationship with the camera is reflected in the winning portrait. 'I wanted Margarita to look at the camera, but that was a problem for her, and I guess that's why she is partially covering her face,' Ruiz Cirera said in an interview with the National Portrait Gallery. 'She seems to be afraid of the photographer, unwilling to expose herself to our gaze. Her awkward expression says a lot about the tradition, isolation and lifestyle of this community.'
Since some Mennonites consider photographs to be a form of graven image, Ruiz Cirera struggled to break down their aversion to the lens. 'It was a really difficult project,' he recalls. 'They were willing to host me in their homes, but they weren't initially willing to be pictured. In some cases, it is forbidden. I stayed there for a month, living with different families, then returned a year later during my master at LCC. That's when most of my pictures were taken.'
The £12,000 award was presented to the London-based Spanish photographer at the National Portrait Gallery, London, last night (Monday 5 November 2012). The winning portrait goes on show at the Gallery from Thursday 8 November 2012.
Ruiz Cirera has also this year won the Association of Photographers Student Award as well as the Deutsche Bank Award in Photography.
– The Taylor Wessing photographic prize exhibition is at the National Portrait Gallery from 8 November to 17 February
– LCC 2012 Postgraduate photography courses display their final work as part of the LCC Postgraduate Shows 2012, from 19 Nov – 9 Jan 2013

The following video is from Monday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Jason Moser and Taylor Muckerman take on the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.
As Twitter prepares for its initial public offering on Thursday, CEO Dick Costolo and his team have now raised the IPO price range, from $17-$20 per share to $23-$25 per share. The upper end of that range would value Twitter as a company worth more than $13 billion. In the lead story on today's Investor Beat, Jason and Taylor discuss what Twitter would have to do to live up to that valuation, and whether they're interested in buying when the company goes public Thursday.
Then the guys take a look at four stocks making moves on the market today. SolarCity hit a new 52-week high ahead of Wednesday's earnings report, on news that it has offered $54 million worth of asset-backed notes. Shares of Kellogg pulled up a bit today, with the company's third-quarter earnings not receiving nearly as much attention as its decision to reduce its global workforce over the next four years. Linn Energy was up after increasing its offer to buy Berry Petroleum from $4.3 billion to $4.9 billion. And Proto Labs recovered today after falling by double digits on the company's earnings report.
And finally, Jason and Taylor discuss why they'll be watching shares of Mosaic and Hain Celestial as they report earnings this week.
