The Shaker Heights boys basketball team continues to roll. The Raiders have had a very good week as Shaker Heights has earned road victories over Mentor and Medina in Northeast Ohio Conference action along with rival Cleveland Heights in a neutral site game at Baldwin Wallace.
Shaker Heights coach Danny Young was asked if the Raiders can get any better right now.
"Absolutely we can hope to get better," Young said. "We can take better care of the basketball. We can still get a whole lot better. We have to execute and get the ball inside. We have to get better defensively. We have to kick in for 32 minutes. We have lulls. Teams are gunning for us. The guys quite haven't grasped that yet."
Young quickly stated how happy he is with the team, but his first comment just shows the sky is the limit for this group of Raiders. Shaker Heights is 10-2 and 4-0 and in first place in the NOC Valley Division.
"I am very proud of the team," Young said.
What makes things even scarier for opponents is Kash Blackwell is the only senior starter.
"We're a young team," Young said.
There are a few good seniors that come off the bench including the player Young calls "the best sixth man in Cleveland," Mel Leach. Joining him is Jimmie Pope and Anthony Kinney as far as seniors off the bench.
And Young said the seniors are the leaders and he appreciates how dependable they are not only on the court, but in practice, the classroom and the community.
"Kash is the most vocal," Young said.
Blackwell is averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds per game. Those numbers are second only to sophomore Esa Ahmad, who averages 20 points and 12 rebounds per game. Ahmad just got an offer from University of Miami this past weekend to add to his growing list of Division I suitors.
Now, Shaker Heights will get another challenge as the Raiders will host Garfield Heights at 7:30 p.m. Friday in another NOC tilt. The Bulldogs and Cardinals are both a game behind the Raiders in the Valley Division.
"It's a very important game," Young said. "We have to contain their guard play and 3-point shooting. We have to keep big David Bell (6-foot-9) off the glass. This is a toughness game. Whoever is tougher, is going to win. You have to fight, claw, dig. You have to want it more than they do."
Garfield Heights will be looking for revenge after the Raiders beat the Bulldogs in a Division I district final last season.
"I'm sure they'll be ready," Young said.
The two teams are vying for the No. 1 seed in the Solon district tournament again this year.

I take it you got the powdered form. Next time get the pills .
I used to take it in a drink that was sweetened with crystal light (back in CW days). A few tsp in 2 liters of liquid balanced out pretty well. You can try it in smoothies, or basically anything else that has the sweetness to cut the bitterness of spirulina.
Good luck!

The Gmail team has taken some time to explain why messages may end up in the spam folder. Of course, as they ever so kindly point out, "the accuracy of our spam filter is one of the key reasons they love Gmail." But that being said, we are fairly certain that everyone has seen the spam filter slip up a time or two and deposit a real (and expected) email message into the spam box as opposed to the inbox. Anyway, moving forward, should you find something along that line — you will now have some additional information to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future. The details from the Gmail Team include how each spam message will have an explanation at the top of the message. The explanation will include details such as whether the message may contain a virus or bad link or if you previously marked something from that sender as spam or even if it was deemed to be similar to previous spam. Bottom line, the filter still has the potential to miss or mix something up, however you will at least have a bit more to go on in the future.

Jean Yves Girard On Goedel Escher Bach
Warning flag for the overly enthusiastic reader: there's at least this brilliant mathematician who has essential contributions to Logic and
, namely
, who characterizes this book as a "masterpiece of vulgarity". He ridicules the book's treatment of Goedel's results under these words:
Next come the clowns, nostalgic for the
final solution
(to re-use this expression typical of German scientism) to the problem of coherence. Their procedure is even more twisted: hail Goedel as the greatest logician of all time, mount the absurdities of Goedel numbering on a pin, and make it a sort of super-puzzle. This burying-under-flowers is characteristic of that monument of vulgarity, "Goedel, Escher, Bach". The implicit message is clear: Goedel's theorem is an artificial, unnatural result, which cannot alter the triumphant march of positive science.
But it's a simple matter, this theorem. It says that Parliament cannot grant itself an amnesty by the vote of one of its sub-committees, nor by itself: it must at least bring in some members from the outside. Isn't that just common sense? Or, alternatively, that you can't fix your glasses while keeping them on your nose.
Perhaps obfuscation is the logical opposite of vulgarity.
I rather doubt that
uses any obfuscation, on the contrary his writings on the subject are clearer than anything else I've read. of course, you'd have to read the whole article (and probably a few others ) to get the context.
"Les Fondements Des Mathematiques",
See also:
for a collection of excellent articles (some in English, most in French). For some people, they might be a lot more enjoyable than reading
, and some articles are really funny and exquisite simultaneously.
I don't think he read the same book I did. --
But Eric, you have to recall the French sense of humor; JerryLewis
, n'est ce pas? And that's just the French
humor. For true mirth, the French read philosophy...
In the context of the source article Monsieur Girard seems to be accusing Hofstadter of being part of some hallucinatory Germanic "Positivist" reactionary tendency. Regardless of Girard's contributions to Logic and
, his contribution to the history of ideas here has to be seen as a (hopefully out of character?) lapse into cultural chauvinism and surprising bad faith. No doubt in this idiosyncratic version of history August Comte was a German and Hegel was secretly a Frenchman.
. For the record GEB is in no way an attempt to rescue a positivist scientism from the challenge posed to it by the Incompleteness Theorem, quite the opposite. [Also, IMO, referring to the holocaust in an unrelated intellectual argument is the last refuge of the scoundrel]. --
I think that to accuse JeanYvesGirarde
of chauvinism is absolutely ridiculous, and without any basis whatsoever in reality. There's no actual reference to the holocaust, there's a play of words , the "final solution" where quite possibly he's referring to an expression used by Hilbert or his school. He definitely write "this expression typical for the German scientism". The fact that he mentions German scientism can in no way be interpreted as chauvinism, unless in "surprising bad faith". The fact is that the formalist program he critiques belonged to the German school around Hilbert, on the other hand one needs to forget the positive references Girard makes about the contribution of Goedel and Gentzen. Not to mention that it takes a strong leap of (bad) faith to suspect that in criticizing Hilbert's program, Girard's dismisses the otherwise huge contribution that Hilbert made to modern mathematics. --
Interestingly, a professor of mine years ago decried
on the basis that it was
positivist (and anti-rationalist) in it's focus on Zen, contra-positives and StrangeLoops
. Of course, he was Italian, not French, but I suspect that national character had less to do with it that his support for
and its rejection of
. --
I think that Girard is entitled to ridicule a whole book that fantasizes about these "strange loops" to "explain" in an awkward and almost mystical language what can be done in one page, like Girard just does in the article. From the point of view of a important mathematician and a professor of mathematics (Girard is both ) there's no redeeming scientific or educational value in
. Girard also conjectures that the implicit message of GEB is that "Goedel's theorem is an result 'against the nature' that can't derail the triumphant march of the positive science". All I can say is that I had the same impression when I read some handwaving towards the end where Hofstadter expresses his conviction that in those "strange loops" scientists will be able to unravel whatever mysteries.
It was some time ago, and I can't guarantee the accuracy of my judgement on the book, but I can guarantee those were my distinct impressions. Another distinct impression was that the book was very hard to read (almost a torture) and that was not because of the difficult mathematical content (actually there was nothing new to me in there), but because the author throws a lot of irrelevant verbiage around some simple mathematical content. I strongly believe that for somebody who hasn't taken a prior course in mathematical logic and theory of computation GEB confuses more than enlightens. If somebody asks me for advice, my advice is definitely not to read GEB before getting a proper mathematical exposition of the Goedel theorem ( I'm convinced that somebody like Girard can do it in one lecture and fascinate his audience), after which he's less likely to have enough appetite to put up with the long and contorted exposition in GEB. Definitely GEB has a pop culture status way over its value (does it have any scientific or pedagogical value at all??), and it is therefore surprising to see such reactive/deffensive responses directed to Girard's comments about the book. --
GEB is a philosophical book, not a science or mathematics text, though it has some information on those thrown in. It's a book about self-reference, so it shouldn't be surprising that it uses strange loops in places they aren't needed - not to display the subject at hand, but to give familiarity with self-reference. Girard's description doesn't seem to match the book I've read.
As to confusing, GEB uses slightly different terms than a logic text would - e.g. it always talks about truth in a philosophical sense, rather than the rigorous logical definition. I don't think the difficulties that result are severe. At any rate, not everyone should
to take a symbolic logic course before being allowed some idea of what the important results are.
GEB isn't a college mathematics text; several of my friends and me read it as a children's book, and got considerable value out of it. I can see how it might be disliked by those who've already seen all the material, who disagree strongly with the philosophy, or who mind superfluous prose. On the other hand, I can also see where its reputation came from. I find it odd that people are willing to tolerate differences of opinions on most books, but this one
to be liked or
to be hated.
And to help us clarify the issues can you resume for us what do you think is the "philosophical thesis" of this book? I agree that not everyone should have to take a mathematical logic course in order to get acquainted with the important results, but while a writer like Girard (or to take a neutral party, somebody like Gregory Chaitin) can outline Goedel's theorem in half a page to a few pages at the "popularization of science" level, Hofstadfter manages to do that in quite a lot of pages and leave many of his readers confused on the subject.
For example, somebody exclaimed on wiki "It convinced me that free will is an illusion". What's the link between Goedel and free will can only be puzzling for a mathematician, and if the book can inspire such sentiments, we may be able to prove some objectively bad qualities, regardless of one or the other's subjective like or dislike. --
[Have you read GEB? There's a lengthy section toward the end about the illusion of free will.]
As a matter of fact, I didn't read it cover to cover, life's just too short to be wasted like that. But now that you mentioned it, I went for the index. Sure enough, I found the "convincing" explanation of free will and consciousness , it starts with the conclusive "I believe ... " and it continue with "strange loops" where the upper level influences the lower level and is influenced by it and the kind of
pervasive throughout the book.
It's not meant to be a proof, it's meant to be an argument. As far as I'm concerned it's a very good one, but then, I read the book before I made my judgements. Note that's required to evaluate the argument, but not the book as a whole. In any case, this gets back to personal preferences, and there's no point in disputing those.
Let's quote it: "My belief is that the explanations of 'emergent' phenomena in our brains - for instance, ideas, hopes, images, analogies, and finally consciousness and free will - are based on a kind [sic!] of Strange Loop, an interaction between levels in which the top level reaches back down towards the bottom level and influences it, while at the same time, being itself determined by the bottom level. In other words a self-reinforcing "resonance" between different levels - quite like the Henkin sentence which, by merely asserting its own provability , actually becomes provable. The self comes into being at the time it has the power to reflect itself." [p. 708] And it goes worse and worse from there. In judging such
writing, it is no longer a matter of personal preference that should be applied, but admit that Girard was right. It's pseudo-scientific, pretentious gibberish of worst kind. All those strange loops are totally a matter of fiction, their connection with Goedel's theorem still a matter of fiction, where the author presents nothing of mathematical or scientific substance but a lot of pretentious phrases and handwaving philosophy, unwarranted references to everything under the sun (from Goedel and Turing to Smalltalk) all seemingly designed to fool his gullible readers into thinking that he has some kind of argument. Maybe he has come up with something of substance in the meantime (though I doubt) but he had nothing when he wrote GEB.
I understand the connections and sort of effects he was talking about; it's certainly not scientific, but we don't
any good scientific model of how consciousness works, and it doesn't hurt to have some ideas of what directions to explore. Girard doesn't talk about this at all - above he claims the book is about the triumph of positivism over the unnatural result of Goedel, and that is neither the theme of the book nor a position it takes, so regardless of the book's quality his description is inaccurate. As to the rest, the disagreement of various wikizens about exactly how "blah blah" this book is should easily show you this is entirely personal opinion, so quit claiming your opinions are somehow better than everyone else's.
Do you mean "I understand" or something more like "I feel it in my guts"? Can you substantiate what it is that you understand? Well, this question is kind of rhetorical because Hofstadter failed to do it in some 800 pages, but if you could answer it, you'd demolish all criticisms of the book. Therefore I won't quit so easily, but thanks very much for the suggestion. Not all opinions are created equal, and not all opinions can stand closer scrutiny equally well. We have the opinion of one
that happens to know quite a little bit about the subject of the book, we have lots of informed opinion of other readers, and on the other hand we have readers who did like the book, but can't explain it unless as a work of SF - clearly not the intent of the book.
As to the accuracy of Girard's characterization, Hofstadter does exhibit naive positivism when , at the end of the book, in spite having nothing to show as an argument, and in spite drawing no real connections between whatever he wants to discuss (consciousness, etc) and a rather banal theorem of formal logic, he manifests his strong belief that future science will unravel the mysteries of the brain/consciousness/etc exactly on the path that he was handwaving about in 700 prior pages. It is the same kind of naive attitude that Hilbert had about his program. The big difference between Hilbert and Hofstadter is that Hilbert's mistake is quite understandable, he had made at the time quite a lot of progress in the axiomatization of Mathematics after all. While Hofstadter had nothing to show for his program at the time he wrote the book.
The belief that a particular problem may be someday explained by science, even if we don't have an explanation yet, is hardly positivism.
You mean the unsubstantiated belief that the explanation will someday be found by science will be down a particular path.
Yes, I do. It's not entirely unsubstantiated, however - although he doesn't provide an explanation, he explains why he thinks it will lie along that particular path. He could be wrong, of course, but that's why he says things like "my belief"; he's not pretending its conclusive.
Just because you didn't understand the parallels and couldn't be bothered to read about them, doesn't mean they weren't there.
Handwaving parallels were there, plenty of them. But it's not only me, it's apparently quite a lot of people with background on the subjects treated in the book that deny any validity to them. Therefore attacking me ain't gonna explain a lot.
It's not my job to explain the contents to you, since I'm not interested in forcing you to like the book - indeed, if memory serves
hate pretty much everything to do with philosophy, so I'd expect you to dislike it.
If the book made it clear it was entirely about philosophical speculations, than it would be a very different ball game.
Well, a lot of the material he touches on isn't philosophy, but I think the book makes it very clear that the central thesis is a philosophical one. As I said, he doesn't pretend what he says certain, and argues in a very philosophical style. And heck, he has a chapter on
. So I don't think you have grounds to complain in this particular department.
Whether it makes clear that it's "philosophy" I'm not so sure. Excursion into scientific things that have nothing to do with his philosophical musings (no, there's no connection between Goedel and whatever "strange loops" Hofstadter thinks are in his brain), are designed to fool the gullible and impressionable reader into thinking that his thesis has some kind of scientific legitimacy.
But your particular preferences for mathematical proof over philosophical dialectic aren't universal (obviously they are for math, but not necessarily in fields like philosophy), and thinking that because this book doesn't contain the sort of argument you'd prefer it must be
bad is simple arrogance.
Following your line of thought it looks like we have only two alternatives of thoughtful inquiry: either mathematical proof or "philosophical dialectic". I wonder what these scientists must be using in physics, biology, medicine, chemistry, etc? Maybe it's just my limited understanding but I'm not aware of any "philosophical dialectic" that is accepted as valid argument in any natural science.
That's true, science uses an intermediate approach - actually several different ones, since physics and psychology are not entirely similar. But Hofstadter isn't doing science, and never pretends to be. He's giving reasons why he thinks a particular avenue is worth exploring, and scientific methodology doesn't lend itself to this sort of pre-science.
Oh, no. He prefers to muddle the waters and confuse his readers with unsubstantiated SF.
Girard's opinions might normally be worth something, but he misunderstood the point of the book as understood by those who've read it thoroughly, so in this case they aren't very useful.
the more plausible alternative that he understands better that the readers of this book are sucked into very dubious pseudo-science.
Well, as I said, Girard's description ignores the main point of the book - or at the very least, doesn't explain why more ore than a third of the topics it covers are in there. But as I've said from the start, you're both welcome to think what you want.
There's no need for a critique to explain coherently that which is incoherent. When Hofstadter departs from Goedel and derives some undefined "strange loops" that presumably would explain human mind, and presumably would be some kind of universal principles that have also some connections with Bach or Escher, that is as valid as departing from 1+1=2 and deriving that the Big Bang was caused by "bago bago" "energy vibrations", that also appear in Metallica's latest album, and in the late period of Picasso.
Whatever. Strange loop just means recursive representation, and is neither undefined nor intended to be mystical. I don't want to discuss this with you, since your mind was apparently made up even before you read through the book. I'd simply prefer you acknowledge other people's opinions - the many mathematicians, programmers, philosophers and whatnot - as valid; but if you don't want to do that, I suspect no-one will care
'Now really. Incidentally I sifted through the index of the book and I was able to find a "definition" (pseudo-definition, that is) which has nothing to do with yours. And may I find out what you think "recursive representation" is? Is it about formal systems or is it about natural world? Or both? We know we have recursive function. These are quite well defined concepts. We even have some
, probably a "strange loop" although there's nothing strange about it. However none of these exhibit "free will", "consciousness", whatever Hofstadter is trying to explain. So what exactly is a "recursive representation", and where do they get their "consciousness" from?
I'll acknowledge other people's self delusion with GEB, argument by the numbers, impossibility to define anything to any remotely acceptable rigor, and their defensive reaction by lashing out childishly when I posted this page. Excuse me, but claiming that
just "doesn't get it" is a little bit too much. And the proof of that being an argument by the numbers. Whether Hofstadter properly defines his concepts, properly makes a connection between Goedel and his ideas, whether his arguments are more than just handavinng or less, those are no longer a matter of de gustibus. You either are able to explain rationally or you don't.
The basic point of the book is discussing how consciousness could be an emergent phenomenon. Before he does this, Hofstadter spends a lot of time familiarizing the reader with recursion by developing a number of examples. These include Goedel's theorem, and he doesn't outline it in half a page because he's not trying to establish the result, but exhibiting the relationship between its proof and self-representation. He also spends a lot of time playing with biochemistry, art, music, and Zen, in what's meant to be a general and entertaining fashion. There's no direct syllogistic link between these things and consciousness, but there is a thematic link: they exhibit the same underlying principles he later discusses.
I wonder what people who think this book is primarily about Goedel's theorem make of the other two names in the title.
My bet is that Goedel's name is in the title for the same reason as the other two: the splash factor.
Oh yes, the public is clamoring for books with Goedel's name in the title. I hear the next Tom Clancy novel will be called "Rainbow Six, Goedel Nothing". Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford are being considered for the movie. Putting those three names in the title of one book was nothing but shameless hucksterism.
You confuse the targeted market of GEB with the market for Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford. EGB is for those people who want to feel good and intellectual because they were able to suffer through 700 pretentious pages and feel smart because they did it. For that kind of crowd, sure enough, Goedel and Bach are very good brand names.
And Girard is a good name for people who want intelligent and respectful discourse about serious issues.
Maybe GEB is just not
enough. From
The French prefer the esthetical motivation for geometry, rather than the more metaphysical motivation of the logicians. Look at the work of Rudy Rucker: everything which bears on geometry has been translated in French, none of his book on logic have been.
Still, after the parution [??] of Hofstadter's "Goedel, Escher Bach" I have discovered how much the French, including some logicians, like to minimize the importance of Goedel. Take Jean-Yves Girard, one of the biggest important logician of the day (especially for his invention of LINEAR LOGIC). Not only he likes to ridicule Hofstadter's book, but he has invented a new *disease*: the Goedelite, which symptom consists in appreciating too much Goedel's theorem. Of course it is true that many pseudo-philosophers has developed invalid consequences of Goedel's, but to dismiss the importance of Goedel from that is invalid too!
Now let us remember that the French have been unlucky with their logicians because the biggest one - Jacques Herbrand - dies at the age of 20 (falling from a mountain). Other logicians died in the defense against Nazis, like Jean Cavailles.
This "parution [??]" above I would think is likely to be French "apparition", which is a "false friend" in English (it's an English word, too, albeit with a different meaning) and therefore often copied through without translation, but which is better translated as English "appearance" in this context; it would fit perfectly.
Just to dispell the myth of Girard's chauvinism or the allegation that "GEB is not French enough". Here's the opinion of an anonymous Amazon reader from Kawasaki, Kanagawa Japan :
I quite agree with the reviewer from East Hartford. Maybe I am not extremely eligible to comment on the portions dealing with Escher and Bach, respectively (I have no appetite for Escher. I like chamber music of Bach and sometimes play his keyboard music but my performance level is, of course, that of amateur.) But I must say the part dealing with Goedel's Theorem of Incompleteness is *complete garbage*. I am convinced anyone with a degree of mathematics will agree with me: for those who have no background in mathematics, I assure you that Goedel's theorem concerns a problem in "formal logic" and has nothing to do with human-cogno-something. If this book were meant to be a cult literature, that would be okay: I don't care anyway. But if this is meant to be an entertainment for people with no scientific background, I rate this alchemy or pseudo-science at best.
The translation above would seem to be a little more literal than it might be. How about this? My French is very rusty indeed, so it may be all wrong. Also, I couldn't find any idiomatic way to express "ensevelissement sous les fleurs" in English, which may be partly because I'm not certain what it means. Is it meant to convey the idea of neutralizing something by smothering it in praise? --
for the translation, I put it above. Obviously you're a much better English speaker :) What do you think about
's take on the history of logic in 20th century? I'd be interested in your comments. --

We had a nice stay at Pedro's flat in Lisbon.
Athough we never saw the host, everything was well prepared and we could always call him or send an E-Mail regarding any questions about the flat or the best places at Lisbon.
Pedro's flat is very calm and central. Metro, train, hyper city center, restaurants and typical market are a few steps far from it.
Good bed, bath place and kitchen.
Very recommended for any trip to Lisbon as Pedro is very welcoming.
The house of Pedro has a perfect location, near to bario alto and alfama. It is easy to reach: 2 minutes from the metro station. The room is nice and Pedro even more, full of good advice!
We would like to thank Pedro for hospitality and good advice. Lisbon remains in our memories!
Our stay in Pedros house was very nice. He was always very friendly and we could ask everything. He also got up in the night to call us a taxi! It was a pleasure to stay in his home!
It was very nice to stay in Pedro's house, and i can recommend it to everybody who wants to stay in Lisbon for a few days!
Located on the edge of downtown - everything is easily accessible. The apartment is simple but perfectly adequate - perhaps it lacks a few hooks to hang jackets and so on. The host is very helpful and friendly. We would go back there anytime.
Die Unterkunft liegt günstig am Rande der Innenstadt - alles ist leicht zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist einfach, aber völlig ausreichend - es fehlen vielleicht ein paar Haken , um Jacken usw. aufzuhängen. Der Gastgeber ist ausgesprochen hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir würden jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Classic, Casual
Thank you! I had to do the full bust adjustment per Linda's instructions. In the past I always adjusted my patterns by adding some length to the torso before cutting out the fabric. I learned from this class that the adjustment needed to be made to the bust instead. Wish I had learned this many years ago. I have been sewing for a lot of years off and on.
The dress looks perfect! Nice job!
I hope my dress looks as nice as yours when it is done! I had almost given up on sewing dresses by the time I had a D cup (1 cup size increase with each child! I'd lose the weight, but never the larger bosom!) I've always had to add a total of 2.5" to the torso of almost any pattern. But now I add 1.5" well below the bust, and do the full bust adjustment instead. Much better results! All dresses, RTW or made from patterns, ALWAYS have waists that are too high for me. And that looks ridiculous.
Lays really nicely. Well done!
You really nailed it! That dress fits you perfectly. Very well done!

The death toll from the fungal meningitis outbreak is still growing, with 14 people now dead and more than 130 sick.
Now serious questions are being raised about compounding pharmacies. The industry is responsible for 3 percent of the drugs distributed in the United States.
One of those companies, the New England Compounding Center, is responsible for shipping out thousands of contaminated steroid shots to 23 states.
The shots were used by doctors to treat patients with back pain. Health experts fear that the number of cases will continue to grow because many of the victims may not know they've been infected yet.
"Our earliest estimate was in the range of two to 28 days. Based on the analysis of additional case studies, the more accurate analysis appears to be six to 42 days," James Devita, president of the Massachusetts Pharmacy Board, said.
Meanwhile, NECC has surrendered its license, and a second connected pharmacy has shut down for state and federal inspections.
"Ameridose and its partnering distributor will cease distribution of its material or anything under shared ownership. Period," Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo, director of the Mass. Bureau of Healthcare Safety, said.
Drugs dispensed by compound pharmacies are intended to be prescribed to patients with needs that can't be met by already existing medications. This has health officials wondering why thousands of generic steroid shots were shipped out across the country.
"The licensing regulations pertain to compounding pharmacies and, as I mentioned specifically, require the pharmacy to have a patient-specific prescription for every dose that is produced as a result of the compounding process," Biondolillo said.
Congress is calling for increased oversight of the custom-made pharmaceutical industry.
"Because of the current vague patchwork of federal and state oversight and regulation of these pharmacies, consumers are left at risk and often unaware of the differences between these products and others," said Rep. DeLauro, D-Conn., who sits on the House committee that sets the FDA's budget.
The Food and Drug Administration traditionally regulates compound pharmacies, monitoring the ingredients used to make the drugs and making sure that federal and state regulations are followed.
Following the deadly fungal meningitis outbreaks, however, there are new accusations that the FDA was actually aware that NECC had started compounding drugs in large quantities but failed to enforce existing regulations.

Former English teacher and guidance counselor Marjorie Yobe has published four books about her dogs and their antics in and around her Hubbard home.
In addition to the pleasure she gets from her pets, Yobe feels that writing about them has helped her cope with multiple sclerosis, an illness that has plagued her for more than 20 years.
''I had my first occurrence in 1982,'' Yobe said.

Hubbard Community News / Bob Coupland
Marjorie Yobe, of Hubbard, poses with one of her Yorkies at the recent Taste of Hubbard event held last month. Yobe has written four books about her dogs and visits elementary schools and nursing homes throughout the area talking about her dogs and their adventures.
It wasn't until the early 1990s, after magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, became available that Yobe finally got the diagnosis for her illness.
''I can spend a lot of time at the computer because I can sit,'' Yobe said.
Her first book, ''Adventures of Little Tykes,'' was published by Publish America and was in novel form with no photos.
Realizing she needed larger books with larger print and color photos to relate to children, Yobe scrapped her first attempt and revamped her work into books that are now 8-by-11-inch publications with color photos on every page.
''I guess you could say that first book was a way to get my feet wet,'' she said.
Yobe has since designed and written four more books geared toward children about her dogs. Each time she speaks at a book signing or fundraiser, Yobe takes at least one of her dogs with her.
At a recent book signing event sponsored by the Hubbard Friends of the Library, Yobe said she brought two of her Yorkies with her in a purse-type carrier.
''No one knew the dogs were there until after I finished talking and brought them out of their carrier,'' she said.
Yobe's books, titled ''Little Tykes Adventures,'' ''Abbey's Antics,'' and ''Basket Full of Love,'' all include original photos of her dogs. ''Basket Full of Love,'' her latest book, details the life of a puppy from before its birth to its second month.
Another book, ''Danger Comes from Everywhere,'' describes the dangers that wildlife who live near and depend on ponds and streams must deal with for their survival.
In spite of her illness, Yobe visits local schools and uses an electric cart when she goes out in public to talk about her books and her dogs.
Yobe and her husband, Ron, a retired teacher and woodworker, have been residents of Hubbard for the past 18 years, coming from the Warren area where they both taught school at Harding High School. After earning her master's degree, Yobe worked as a guidance counselor with Trumbull Career and Technical Center, where she worked another 20 years.
Yobe and her husband have two children, three grandchildren and 11 Yorkies. They all live in Hubbard.
She will be signing books Nov. 5 at the Hubbard Elementary School craft show and Nov. 12 at the First Baptist Church of Howland Relay for Life fundraiser.

Fancy being a millionaire, but had no luck on the lottery yet? Consider opening an Isa. The humble tax-free savings account can generate surprising returns if you save regularly.
A saver investing their full Isa allowance each year, and seeing a 5 per cent annual growth rate, would take 29 years to grow their pot to £1million, according to Fidelity the fund group. This assumes the annual Isa allowance, currently £11,520, increases by 2.5 per cent a year.

THROWBACK: The Reflections – (Just Like) Romeo and Juliet

A Place to Bury Strangers – Onwards To the Wall
January 30th, 2012
The title track from APTBS' new EP, which is due out tomorrow, is a compact piece of dark (loud) pop. "Onwards To the Wall" sees the Strangers at a place in their progression as a band where the hooks are a bit more plentiful and up in the mix and the rhythms are a bit […]
Teen Daze – Brooklyn Sunburn

By Jon Herriot Whenever I listen to Teen Daze I always find myself grooving out a little bit. "Brooklyn Sunburn" starts out nice and slow, and builds into something funky.

Wild Nothing – Nowhere
January 28th, 2012
By Chris Gedos Wild Nothing follows up "Golden Haze" (and its glorious fade-in) with "Nowhere", which constitutes Jack Tatum's first official live instrumentation studio recording! For this reason I can forgive the somewhat heavy, baroque jangle-jam production. Tatum guides "Nowhere" home to safety with an unconventional lyric and effective yet truncated bridge. The 7" is […]

By Chris Gedos The Micks are buddies of The N'ere Dowells. These are New York rockers who (it's safe to say) compose anti-Manhattan music, for there's something quintessentially iconoclastic and anti-capitalistic in their tone, something which speaks to the root of Rock itself.

Golden-voiced songstress Jessie Baylin released her third LP Little Spark last week. The thoughtful slowdance "I Feel That Too" is our pick from the record, though the whole LP is really good. A mix somewhere between Mazzy Star, Uncle Neil (country Uncle Neil), and 2011 indie pop, Baylin's sound has matured/fully realized on Little Spark, […]

Angus & Julia Stone – Big Jet Plane (David Dann Remix)

"Big Jet Plane" is one of those songs that lends itself incredibly well to remixes. The simple, easily maleable melodic syncopations, it's soulful/tuneful vocals, many of the right ingredients that make for the best indie pop remixes are here. That said, LA's David Dann is certainly not the first producer to attempt to harness "Big […]

Contributed by Chris Gedos Hey every band from the past thirty years! Josef K called! They'd like their royalty check now!

Grandparents – Golden Isles
January 15th, 2012
"Golden Isles" new off Portland band Grandparents' FUMES is GREAT. Sure it's a little bit derivative (see if you can pick some of the influences out yourself.) but any of that derivative-ness (derivaty?) is of things we really like.

Houndmouth – Houston Train + Penitentiary
