President Obama's speech on national security was met with mixed reaction Friday. Mr. Obama took the opportunity to make a new push to close the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba, a move many republicans disagree with.
Senator Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., argued, "I have been one to advocate maintaining Guantanamo Bay and my reason is pretty simple, If we were to capture some of the Benghazi terrorists who we know today are running free, what are we going to do with them?"
During Thursday's speech the president also defended his controversial drone strikes program, but announced more restrictive rules for future attacks.
It's an announcement that is said to be well received by Pakistan and Yemen, the two countries that see most of the strikes.
However, the president gave few details as much of the policy has to be classified.

DEAR HARRY: I am a retired man on a pension who has foolishly allowed his credit-card debt to go above $30,000. I pay the amount due each month on time, but with rent, car payments, insurance and other debts, I am left with nothing at the end of the month.
I am single, 59 years old, and I do not want to go through bankruptcy. I have a friend who did, and it was a hellish experience.
I'm aware that this is totally my own fault for wanting to live fancier than I could afford.

Every Believer is a Minister
by Geoff Volker
What is the CHURCH? (Hebrews 8:7-13)
The New Covenant
What is the church? This seems like an obvious question to answer. The local church is made up of professed believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The local church is a family of believers. In Hebrews 8:7-13 the author of Hebrews (whoever he was) describes the saving work of Jesus Christ as the New Covenant. This is contrasted with the covenant that God made with the nation of Israel on Mount Sinai through Moses. This was called the Old or Mosaic Covenant. This covenant did not produce a believing, God-loving people of God; it was never intended by God to produce a people of real believers. Of course I am not saying that there were no real believers in the nation of Israel. I am only saying that Israel as a whole was unbelieving. There was always a remnant of believers in Israel. But when the New Testament describes Israel as a whole, it is described as unbelieving (Matthew 8:10-12). Israel was NOT the church in the Old Testament, but merely a picture of the true people of God, that is, the church in the new covenant era.
Israel Was a Picture
The death of Jesus Christ purchased a people for God (Acts 20:28). The New Covenant states that everyone for whom Jesus died will receive forgiveness of all their sins and a new heart. That means that every true believer will be a God-lover. A true believer who lived during the era of the Old Covenant would have met with fellow Israelites for worship, but he would have been in the distinct minority. He would have been a believer among unbelievers; a God-lover among God-haters. The professed people of God, the nation of Israel, were only a picture of the true people of God. All those for whom Jesus died are a part of the New Covenant. Everyone who is part of the true people of God, regardless of when they lived, will be a God-lover (Psalm 119:97-104; Acts 13:21-22).
The Church is for Professed Believers
During the time of the Reformation the Anabaptists correctly understood that the local church is only made up of those who give evidence that they are a part of the New Covenant. Therefore a proper profession of faith included not just a trust in Jesus Christ alone to save them, but also a desire to live for Jesus Christ. The evidence of the changed life was a necessary ingredient to a biblical profession of faith. The Anabaptists could not conceive of a church made up of both believers and unbelievers, as did the Reformers. Since infants were not capable of a biblical profession of faith, then they also could not be part of the church. The Reformers ridiculed the Anabaptists for believing that the church could realistically be made up of only true believers. The Anabaptists did not hold to this view. They believed that unbelievers could indeed slip in among the believers, but they could only do so if they were masquerading as true believers. Scripture provides church discipline as the means to deal with those who were only professing to believe but were in reality God-haters.
Children in the Church
It does seem that most evangelical churches view the children of believers as an integral part of the church. But, in light of the New Testament teaching on the New Covenant, we would have to say that children of believers are not a part of the church unless they give evidence that they are participants in the New Covenant. The common practice of gathering the children together and having them sing special music in the worship service for the purpose of leading the family of believers in worship is an unbiblical practice. If they are not believers, then they are not members of the New Covenant people of God and are not a part of the local church. They are a very important field for evangelism but not a part of the people of God.
Who Does the Ministry in the Church? (Ephesians 4:7-16)
The Role of the Elders
The function of the elder is both as a pastor or shepherd (1 Peter 5:1-3) and as a teacher (Titus 1:9). He shepherds or pastors by applying the Word of God to the life of the believer. He teaches by systematically equipping the believer with a biblical foundation. The elder is to be the equipper, not the primary doer, in the family of believers. He functions both as a coach and as a player. He is to work in such a way that the family of believers is prepared to do the works of ministry.
An Unhealthy Picture of Elders
The elders who seek to be the ones who do all, or even most of the ministry are not fulfilling their function in the body of Christ. It would seem that they ought to be working themselves out of a job. If they are discipling the family of believers for works of ministry, then the better they do their job the more the believers will do the ministry and the more the elders will experience a lessening of the burden of being an elder.
The Ministers of the Church
It is the individual members of the family of believers who are the real ministers in the church. We ought to take back the use of the term "minister" from the professional clergy and once again begin to use it in its biblical sense.
From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work (Ephesians 4:16 NIV).
The work order by God for the church is that each member of the New Covenant community is to be involved in ministry, so that the whole body is built up in the faith. It is ministers who do the works of ministry, and it is to the members of the family of believers that the works of ministry are entrusted.
The Potential Curse of a Staff-Oriented Church
There is nothing unbiblical with having paid staff at a local church. But the temptation that often comes with it is the pitfall of having the staff do the work of ministry. It is very time consuming and difficult to equip members of the body for ministry. It is just easier to pay someone else to do it. Since you are paying them, the issues of accountability and excellence are much easier to manage. The local church must be set up in such a way that the very structure of the church encourages each member of the body to do the works of ministry.
What Has God Given to Each Believer? (1 Corinthians 12)
Each Believer is a God-lover
Because each believer is a recipient of the benefits of the New Covenant, all believers come to faith in Jesus Christ with a love for God and a desire to live for him (Romans 6:1-2,17-18). All believers are in the process of being supernaturally motivated by the Spirit of God to live for Jesus Christ (Romans 8:5-14). There is no such thing as a "dumb sheep" mentality in the body of Christ. Every member of the body is equipped and motivated for ministry.
Each Believer is Gifted by the Spirit
God the Holy Spirit has spiritually gifted every believer for works of ministry (1 Corinthians 12:7-11). Each member in the family of believers is supernaturally equipped for ministry. He does not determine his function on his own, but should to seek to determine what God has given him and then develop that giftedness for works of ministry.
Each Believer Has a Function in the Family of God
Since all those who are of the New Covenant have been made a God-lover and are gifted by the Spirit, it is clear, then, that each believer has a specific role to fulfill in the body of Christ. It was not our idea to come to faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:4-5,11). It was not our decision that determined what gift the Spirit would give us (1 Corinthians 12:11). Each believer has a vital God ordained purpose in the family of God. Our Sovereign God has determined that the church should function in just this way. To be a part of the family of believers and yet have no ministerial purpose is impossible in the New Covenant community.
The Danger of By-passing the Body in Decision-Making (Proverbs 15:22)
The "Dumb Sheep" Mentality
The New Covenant guarantees that every believer will be transformed and motivated by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:5-14). The Scripture describes each believer as having the "mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16). Therefore, the notion that the church body is somehow made up of "dumb sheep" that cannot be trusted to discuss and discern biblical issues is a rather silly idea. It would seem unwise to cut out of the decision-making process the wisdom of the family of believers and limit the interaction to just the elders. Many church leaders simply do not trust the body of Christ. They fear that if they allow the body in on the decision-making process, then Pandora's box will be opened and chaos will reign. If the body is that untrustworthy then you do not have a New Covenant community but an assembly of unbelievers.
The Illustration of the Husband and Wife
It is clear that the husband has the final authority in the marriage relationship (Ephesians 5:22-33). Yet, with that being understood, it must also be stated that any husband would be foolish to eliminate his wife from the decision-making process. He would recognize that he does not know all that he needs to know, that he has a limited point of view and that he has blind spots. His wife will provide a very different perspective and will protect him from himself. In the same way it would be foolish to refuse to consult the wisdom of the family of believers, the New Covenant community, when the leadership is seeking to make a biblically sound decision. Why cut yourself off from a source of wisdom that the Spirit of God is responsible for? The local church does have elders and they do hold the final authority in the church (Hebrews 13:17). Yet they are a part of a family of believers, and it is the whole family of believers that has been the recipient of the transforming work of the Spirit of God that was purchased by our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, the High Priest of the New Covenant.
All Believers are Priests in the New Covenant Era (1 Peter 2:9-10)
A prophet represents God to the people while a priest represents the people to God. In the Old Covenant era only a very few, the priests, had access to God in the sacrificial process. In the New Covenant era every believer is a temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19). God the Holy Spirit is in the process of transforming each believer. Every believer is gifted by the Spirit and is called to ministry. Any concept or structure of the church that does not biblically express the priesthood of all believers is fundamentally unbiblical and does not bring honor to the Lord of the New Covenant.

Low-key and soft-spoken U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, who announced this week he would not seek re-election in 2014, never stuck out in many ways, which contributed to his success in politics. Yet, he had gained a curious recognition in hyper-partisan Washington for having the most registered black voters in his district (33 percent) of any Republican in the House.
In fact, he represents more African-Americans than he does Republicans (26 percent). As an added distinction, in the 2012 election, he received more votes from blacks (43 percent) than did any of the 234 House Republicans, according to an analysis by McClatchy Newspapers.
Alexander says he doesn't understand why party leaders, anxious to improve on the single-digit black support of most of their candidates, have not asked him how he does it. If they did, he said, his advice would boil down to showing respect to minorities by not saying things to insult and infuriate them. That's hardly a trade secret, as many decent and respectful Republican candidates who have reached out to black voters still have received few of their votes in return.
It may have helped ol' Rodney among Democrats that he had been one of them for 30 years while running for the police jury, the Legislature and Congress. He switched parties on the last day of qualifying in 2004, after filing to run as a Democrat two days earlier.
But the main reason and small wonder why Alexander attracted the support of so many black voters in 2012 is that there was no Democrat on the ballot for them to vote for. The same was true in the 4th Congressional District next door, where the absence of an opposing Democrat enabled U.S. Rep. John Fleming of Minden, among the most conservative of Republicans, to get 30 percent of the black vote, the second most in the House GOP Caucus. Both won easily over Libertarian and independent candidates.
So it is not the out-reach of Republican congressmen that is winning them black support in Louisiana, but that Democrats of late largely have given up competing in statewide and congressional elections. Outside of the majority black 2nd Congressional District based in New Orleans and U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, who faces a tough re-election battle next year, the white Democrats who once ruled Louisiana are now verging on electoral extinction in higher office.
Their prospects are getting bleaker at the legislative level. In 1981, there were 37 white Democrats and two black Democrats in the Senate. Today, there are five white Democrats and eight African-American ones. Two of the white Democrats, Sens. David Heitmeier of Algiers and Francis Thompson of Delhi, represent majority-black districts. That leaves three white Democrats representing majority-white districts: Sens. Eric Lafleur of Ville Platte, Gary Smith of Norco and Ben Nevers of Bogalusa.
The latest ex-Democrat in the Senate is Sen. Rick Ward III of Maringouin, who a month after switching parties filed papers as a candidate for the 6th Congressional District seat held by U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, who is running against Landrieu.
Before him, Sen. Elbert Guillory of Opelousas made national news by defecting from the Democrats to become the Louisiana's first African-American Republican state senator since Reconstruction. Guillory's move was more of a homecoming, as he had switched from Republican to Democrat before first running for the Legislature. His YouTube video explaining his latest switch went viral, prompting calls for him to run for the U.S. Senate, even president.
Guillory's stated ambitions are more modest, as he is thinking about running for lieutenant governor in 2015. The competition could be stiff for the state senator because, though no white Democrats are being mentioned as potential candidates for the No. 2 office, a growing number of Republicans and several black Democrats are.
Democrats do have one declared candidate for governor in 2015, Rep. John Bel Edwards of Amite. Other Democrats are holding out hope that New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, assuming he is re-elected early next year, will set his sights on the Governor's Mansion.
Yet, for Sen. Landrieu and whichever Democrat runs for governor, the top of the ballot is a shakier perch without other Democrats vying for lower offices, for Congress in 2014 or the Legislature in 2015, and helping to generate turnout. Just as parties build from the ground up, they deteriorate that way too.

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The winter storm hitting the South today will turn and head Wednesday toward the Northeast, where it could bring heavy snow and ice to cities along the I-95 corridor.
At this point it looks like Central New York will be spared, the National Weather Service predicts.
The weather service notes, however, that even a "slight shift in the storm track could bring snow farther inland."
A winter storm warning has been issued in Atlanta, where some motorists were stranded on snowy highways for 16 hours or more earlier this month. The weather service said this storm could be "an event of historical proportions."
Two to 4 inches of snow and up to a half-inch of ice is expected Tuesday night into Wednesday.
The weather serviced has issued a winter storm warning for parts of Alabama, where 4 to 9 inches of snow could fall through Thursday.
As the storm heads north, the I-95 corridor could get hit hard with snow. Philadelphia could get 6 to 10 inches of snow with a trace of ice, the weather service said. Boston is expected to get snow, too, although forecasters say it's too early to tell how much.

CLINICALLY, it has been established that the prolonged use of cortisone results in a temporary depression of the adrenal secretions. It is this depressive effect on adrenal function that makes it possible to control carcinoma of the prostate gland after orchectomy and the estrogens have lost their therapeutic effect. Sudden withdrawal of cortisone may result in an acute adrenal insufficiency. Hydrocortisone is a drug equivalent to cortisone in its physiological effects on the patient. We recently treated a patient for acute adrenal crisis when hydrocortisone had been substituted for cortisone. The two drugs have identical physiological effects in the dosage ratio of hydrocortisone 65 mg. to cortisone 100 mg. The literature does not clearly state whether cortisone depresses more adrenal functions than does hydrocortisone. Our experience with this patient suggests there is a difference which may produce serious consequences.

Everything we want in life, as consumers, we want it to be Worth Every Penny and wine is no different. It's our rating system, it's our mantra and I know undoubtedly, it's your mantra as well – especially in a softened economy. We as consumers want to get the best bang for our buck as possible.
Last night was the first time I got to participate in a nice wine-tasting event with the Wines Of Chile group – live over the Internet – and this was all about Carmenere. Some folks haven't heard of this almost-lost Bordeaux grape, however, it is starting to make a nice come-back and that's something I'm really excited about.
As malbec has really helped put Argentina on the wine-map, so the country of Chile is hoping to do with Carmenere and if last night's tasting is a sign of things to come then I'm very hopeful.
One of the more interesting things about this narrow-strip of land called Chile is the vastly diverse regions it has – from the desert-like, arid conditions of the north to the cooler slopes of the Andes mountains to the west and Antarctic-influenced weather patters to the far south. It's got about as a diverse terrior as any winemaker could hope for.
Out of the nine bottles I tasted through, there were a few that really stood out from the pack and deliver exceptional value. The wines in this tasting were:
- 2007 Santa Carolina Reserva Carmenere
- 2007 Armador Carmenere
- 2007 Ventisquero Grey Carmenere
- 2007 Terra Andina Altos Carmenere – Carignan blend
- 2007 Viu Manent Carmenere
- 2008 Vina LaRosa Barrel Reserve Carmenere
- 2004 Carmen Wine Maker's Reserve Red Wine
- 2007 Cono Sur Vision Carmenere
The ones that stood out the most to me were:
2007 Terra Andina Altos – Price $20 – W.E.P. Rating: 120%
Nose: Meaty, fruity venison on the nose along with black and white pepper petrol, blueberries, black berries, plums and figs.
Taste: Excellent and balanced fruit attack with cascading notes of figs, plums, dark cherries, leather, tobacco, leather, vanilla and some chocolate. Good finish that brings on some very good cedar notes and lingers for hours and goes down the hatch very nicely.
2007 Cono Sur – Price $15 – W.E.P. Rating: 100%
Nose: Blackberries, blueberries, caramel, black pepper for days.
Taste: Black pepper for days along with the black-fruits I love – plums and blackberries along with black cherries. Decent finish with good acids – would be a no-brainer with jerk-chicken, cajun foods or a pepper-crusted steak.
2008 Vina La Rose La Capitana Carmenere – Price: $15 – W.E.P. Rating: 110%
Nose: Pencil lead, blueberries, blackberries, white pepper with a little eucalyptus action as well.
Taste: Definitely am getting that pencil play on the front attack and it comes with some really nice blueberry and blackberry flavors with a slight hint of rose pedals. Finishes very nicely – the tannin structure is very relaxed, actually, for a wine this young.
2007 Santa Carolina Reserva Carmenere – Price: $15 – W.E.P. Rating: 115%
Nose: Venison, dark chocolate, cumin, blackberries, blueberries, cocoa powder, baby powder and spice.
Taste: Great mouth-feel and structure that holds it together across the entire palate. Good dark fruits and berries along with excellent cocoa and dark chocolate notes as well. Finishes very smoothly and is a wine that'll give many USA producers fits for its price-range.
2007 VioManent Carmenere – Price: $18 – W.E.P. Rating: 110%
Nose: One of the more robust aroma's have bell peppers I've had this side of a Loire Valley ab Franc. It's as if someone shoved an entire bushel of bell peppers in with some white pepper, rhubarb, cherries and blackberries.
Taste: Rolled tobacco leaves, charred asparagus tips, bell pepper for days, white and black pepper along with some chocolate notes. This is a fabulous wine that screams out old-world in its "greeness" that I know a lot of folks – including e – really enjoy. Great finish, good acids – a no brainer.
There's no doubt that many of the wines coming out of Chile are going to present very real challenges for areas like Napa, France and other regions which have seemed to out-price themselves.
Many of you who know me know that I'm very honest in my opinion of wines, regardless of who makes it – and to that end. I'm super excited to taste first-hand what Chile is doing with Carmenere. I believe it'll become a more serious play for those seeking out excellent wine values these days and makes a wonderful addition to the type of wine values myself and others are all about.

All you need is love – just ask love-struck actor Bruce Willis.
The tough guy, Die Hard bachelor once vowed to never marry again, but he admits he broke that decade-long promise immediately when he met his current wife, Emma Heming.
"I lasted one date," Willis, 54, says in the July issue of W magazine. "I went from 'F--- love' to 'Love is truly the answer.'"
After separating from Demi Moore in 1998, "I spent the last 10 years single and, for the most part, unhappy. In a dark place. I never thought that being with someone else was the answer," he says.
"I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself," he adds. "Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier."
Since marrying Heming, 32, in March, Bruce admits, "We're sickening. We make out in public. I know there's some rule that you're not supposed to be doing – what is it? Public displays of affection?"
One of Willis's favorite things about his bride? Just like Demi's husband Ashton Kutcher, she gets along great with the kids. Heming says she adores her new role as "a stepmommy" and her "individual relationships with each of the girls."
"We've become like a tribe," Willis says of his newly integrated family. "It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that.
"Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together. I still love her, and I have a lot of respect for how she lives her life."
Bruce Willis Believes in the Power of Love

OLPC Rwanda has been named to the scientific subcommittee of the International Conference on Technology in Education, organized by the Rwandan Education Ministry and Education Board. The conference will take place in early 2012. Great to hear; let us know when the call for papers is out!

Children talk about OLPC in Rwanda
OLPC Rwanda, which is planning to expand their OLPC deployment to 160,000 children and teachers by next summer, has been talking more about their work and interviewing those currently involved. Africa Online has been running a series on OLPC over the past two weeks, including a recent article on XO use in schools in Kigali.
Rwanda on track to deploy 50,000 XOs to 150 schools this year
Nkubito Bakuramutsa, OLPC project coordinator at the Rwandan Education Ministry, talked to the Rwanda New Times this week about the first 10,000 students and teachers who had received laptops through the country's OLPC program. Rwanda is on track to distribute XOs to 50,000 students by the end of the year, with another 50,000 following soon after.
The national deployment team recently finished setting up their software build, and is now flashing 2,000 XOs a day. This is a good milestone for the team — learning how to rebuild all parts of the system on their own is important, and as Zehra can attest the first time you get a NANDBlast production line up and running is memorable.
The schools are including materials from OLPC, Sugar Labs, India's Azim Premji Foundation, the National Curriculum Development Centre, and the Rwanda Education Commons, with customization help from Microsoft and Rwanda's Green Hills Academy network of schools.
Rwanda: capacity-building for teachers in 150 schools
OLPC Rwanda organized a capacity-building workshop for 300 teachers this week. The school-head and one lead teacher from each of 150 schools attended. The GC4LL blog has a detailed writeup. I like this quote in particular, since passing on the ideas behind our core principles takes time:
They also are going to learn about the two main points of the OLPC implementation: one laptop per each child and children take laptops home. Those two points are always controversial and it is very important that school's principals understand the underlining logic behind them. It the school management buy the concept, the success chances of the project in the school increase significantly.
There is also a photoset from the event and a copy of their "training booklet"(PDF) online.
Juliano on Rwanda
The Global Center for Laptops and Learning in Kigali has been updating their blog recently. This past week, Brazil and Rwanda students met via Skype for the first time.
Juliano Bittencourt, who spent a year in Rwanda with his wife, recently posted a lovely email about Rwanda developments to the OLPC Brasil mailing list.
He points to Silvia Kist's personal blog (in Portuguese) as a source for more information about the work there, along with the 'laptop learning' photostream.
Stories from Rwanda schools
Julia has posted a half-dozen recent updates to her excellent Rwanda blog, about her work, thoughts on access to knowledge, and efforts with the Kigali Institute of Education. She includes some interesting photos of students showing off their Etoys storybooks and drawings.
She also reminded me of the CMU student group that visited Nonko School last month to run classroom workshops – an interesting model of community service.
OLPC learning center opens in Kigali; Kagame presides over ceremony
This summer, OLPC is starting two projects in Africa. One is OLPCorps, which we have covered over the past few months and which you will be hearing a great about from the participants themselves. The other is the founding of a learning center that has just been founded at the Kigali Institute for Science, Technology and Management [KIST]. As part of this process, the OLPC learning team, including David Cavallo and Juliano Bittencourt, have been in Kigali for some time, laying the groundwork for this week's public launch. President Kagame himself came to open the center — here is the official press announcement:
OLPCorps Teams to Assist in Providing New Educational Opportunities in 17 Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa
Kigali, Rwanda, June 9, 2009 — One Laptop per Child (OLPC), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help provide every child in the world with access to a modern education, in collaboration with the Government of Rwanda, is launching in Kigali, Rwanda, a Global Center for Excellence in Laptops and Learning. The purpose of the Center is to create the highest quality examples of learning with connected laptops in schools and communities, support ongoing laptop implementation plans in Rwanda, and create an African regional laptop network.
Leading the world in exemplifying laptops for learning, Rwanda is the natural base for this new center. The government of Rwanda has committed to providing all 2.2 million of its primary school children with laptops by 2012 and to serving as a model for other countries to copy, improve and further innovate. The Center also will develop senior fellows, community learning specialists and technology specialists who will return to their countries to lead efforts nationally, regionally and locally to extend laptop learning programs.
"OLPC has experienced great success when support for our mission comes from both the government (top down) as well as from grassroots (bottom up)," said Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman of One Laptop per Child. "The partnership with Rwanda represents a substantial commitment by both OLPC and Rwanda to bring learning to the grassroots and country level, which is exactly where it should be."

Kids In The Gold Mine: Notes From A Million Young Eyes (Video)Serge Bielanko
Five years ago, Joshua Bell, the greatest living violinist on Earth, walked into a Washington D.C. metro station, uncased an historic 18th century instrument, pulled his ball cap tight down over his head, and began to play for the morning rushers.
What unfolded next still stands as one of the more intriguing little social experiments of our time.
It's a fascinating story (dreamed up and pulled off by Bell and The Washington Post) of how so many of us really do zip right through so much of our lives.
And, as a result, it's a story of so many of us hurtling through our days with hardly a passing glance at the world around us, and all that we're missing because of that.
The whole tale of the wildly talented Bell and his morning spent playing a world-class concert to the oblivious masses is captivating for many reasons, of course. But for me, it's in reading that no one seemed more interested in Bell's music, no one appeared to be more riveted by the man with the violin than a young three year old boy being dragged away by his hurried mommy, still struggling to look back at the musician playing behind him until he was out of sight.
It is a simple observation of a handful of people who seemed genuinely attracted to the music being played in a busy subway station. And there is something to be considered when it's noted that quite a few of them were children.
It's eye-opening.
I mean, lately I will be in the middle of doing something entirely stupid and time-consuming, like looking at crap on Amazon or reading some complete stranger's Facebook foolishness, when all of the sudden I am freight-trained in the chest by the fact that my year old son Henry has been pulling on my pant's leg for a few minutes now and I have somehow just been ignoring the hell out of him.
So, I've been pulling myself away, in the middle of my big soul-sucking session, and I just slam the laptop closed and put it on the side table and get down on the floor and follow him wherever he wants to lead me.
And guess what?
I damn near always end up having a much better time: reading a simple book with him, or just banging a maraca on the metal cart in the kitchen. Being beside him, in real time, and watching him light up at something small and easy reminds me that I need to follow his lead way more than I have been. It reminds me that while there are indeed a bunch of lessons he is going to need to learn from me in the years to come, I have a boatload I will be learning from him as well.
And my from daughter too.
Because kids know where the gold is hidden.
Kids haunt the nooks and crannies where the really good stuff lives.
Kids know where the music lives and the where the Tootsie Roll center hides.
Throwing rocks in the crick out back; watching ladybugs crawl across a lampshade; pretending we're Mickey Mouse and Goofy; laying down in the thick of the dust on the floor of this house and making plastic cows meet up with plastic octopuses out behind the Fisher-Price Barn: it's starting to dawn on me that there is nothing that is ever going to be any better than that, for me, in this life.
Moving so fast, through so many stations, we start forgetting so many of the truly important things, the stuff we used to know back when we were young.
Because once upon a time, when we were just kids, we knew what needed knowing.

The Phillies lost an iconic manager on Friday morning when Jim Fregosi passed away due to complications from a stroke.
After news of Fregosi's passing was made public, Phillies president David Montgomery issued this statement.
Everyone in the Phillies organization is deeply saddened about the news of Jim's passing. We, and so many others in the game, have lost a dear friend. He'll be remembered for his vibrant personality, wisdom and love of the game. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his widow, Joni, daughters Nikki, Lexy and Jennifer and sons Robert and Jim.
Fregosi, who was 71, managed the Phillies from 1991-1996.

Really pumped about this one. The Taifun is a super popular atomizer that uses the gravity bottom feeding kind of style – I am pretty sure the Fogger is actually based on the Taifun, so this is closer to the real thing than even the Fogger was.
It also looks super sick and comes with a sweet drip tip.
Most importantly, it's under 20 bucks. That's even less than I paid for the Fogger V2 last week.
I already popped my order in for one. I can't wait to get it in and do a review on it.
Check it out here for under $20 shipped.

OWOSSO, MI — A little bit of rain was not enough to keep Vermontville resident Tom Carrigan from bringing out his newly remodeled 1938 Extended Chevy Friday, June 20, at the 2014 Train Expo – Locomotives, Wings and Wheels.
Carrigan, a retired pipefitter for General Motors, said he and his long-time friend Jim Nelson have been working on the vehicle, which is powered by an Allison V-1710 aircraft engine, for the past six years.
Carrigan's car and other vintage vehicles were on display at the Auto Diesel Institute at Baker College on South M-52 as part of the three-day expo, June 20-22.
"I've always loved anything mechanical," Carrigan said. "I love old cars, big engines, turbines and jets, so I bought an aircraft engine years ago and wondered what would be the best application for it. So it was one of my retirement goals to do this and now here I am."
Friday's car show/cruise will be followed by a judged car show on Saturday and a participant judged show on Sunday.
Classic cars were not the only vintage items on display. The expo also includes a steam railroad exhibit at 405 South Washington Street and a plane exhibit at the Owosso Community Airport, 205 Airport Drive.
Both the railroad and plane components were added this year.
"The last Train Expo in 2009, we only had the locomotives," event coordinator Terry Bush said. "So this is going to bring in new types of enthusiasts, because you have your train people, your car people, and your plane people.
"We have a lot of educational, fun, historical things going on."
The expo attracted about 35,000 people in 2009, and Bush said she expects another good crowd this weekend -- despite the rain on Friday.
Toni and Charlie Stoia, and their three kids: Lucas, 10, Isabella, 7, and Jack, 4, decided to make the trip from Shelby Township, even with the gloomy weather.
"We came in 2009 and wanted to come back," said Charlie Stoia, who is also a member of the Steam Railroading Institute. "I've enjoyed steam engines ever since I was a kid and my parents gave me one for my birthday."
The train exhibit featured over eight classic locomotives that have been rebuilt, refurbished or replicated.
"It's been a great experience," Charlie said. "The train expo has really expanded; it's really nice."
Three vintage WWII aircrafts: a B-17G "Yankee Lady", a B-25-D "Yankee Warrior" and a C-47 "Yankee Doodle Dandy", lined up on the airstrip as spectators were able to tour the planes.
Flights were also available for purchase.

Over the years, Morris Habitat in Randolph has learned that partnering with others is not only the best way to accomplish something, it also beneficial to those involved. A recent partnership resulted in a win-win-win situation.
When Sandy Zwickel, of human resources at Suburban Propane in Whippany was looking for a team building exercise for her human resource management team, she wanted something that would give the members "face time" in a relaxed setting. She also knew she wanted it to be a unique project that would help others and, lastly, something that could be completed in a relatively short time. Zwickel turned to consulting firm, A.J.
O'Connor Associates for options. They recommended Caring Capital, a national company located in Morristown, which designs and leads team-building programs for companies.
Connecting with Suburban Propane's theme of "Hearth and Home," Susie Schub, president of Caring Capital, suggested building children's picnic tables and donating them to Morris Habitat.
On the day of the event, Schub and two of Caring Capital's professional teaching artists arrived at Suburban Propane to set up the required tools and supplies. Before starting the project, Blair Bravo, executive director of Morris Habitat for Humanity, addressed the company's management team, telling them about Morris Habitat's mission and goals. She also told them about the two families, future habitat homeowners, that they would be helping.
Once the members were divided into two teams they quickly built the picnic table and benches and then set out to customize them; even personalizing the tables with the names of the homeowners' children. After just two hours, the picnic tables were built, the teams knew each better, and two Morris Habitat families will receive adorable children's picnic tables for their future backyards. The efforts of this one group will bring many hours of enjoyment to these hard-working families.

Educational Perspectives on DSM-5
Nov 15
Explore the educational impact of DSM-5 on diagnostic criteria and changes to eligibility.
A revised version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association was published in May, 2013, after a long and contentious period of public comments. Since its publication, diagnosticians, clinicians, parents, and educators have been grappling with changes that influence how individuals are diagnosed, with the potential to alter eligibility for services. During this webinar Linda Hecker, M.Ed., Lead Education Specialist for the Landmark College Institute for Research and Training, will present an educational perspective on how these changes may play out.
This webinar will help answer:
- How have diagnostic criteria changed for individuals with LD, ADHD, and ASD?
- How may these changes impact students regarding diagnosis and eligibility for services?
- What are the implications for our work in school settings?

Very good Dr. He's gonna deliver my 2ed baby
I've been seeing Doctor Chavez for over 24yrs and he is my first and only doctor (gynecologist) that I have ever seen. I trust him 100%. I feel very blessed with him. He delivered my 1st child in 1990 and my 2nd in 2004. Anytime I have a question he doesn't hesitate to being honest even though sometimes it may not be the answer that I want to hear. I like that about him. He is an educated man that knows what he is doing. He's old fashioned and up to date all at the same time, which I like. If at anytime he feels that something is not right, he doesn't hesitate to check it out. His staff is awesome and has been there as long as I've been seeing him. They make you feel at ease and I'm not afraid to ask any questions if I have any concerns about my health. They are always available when you need them. I wouldn't go to any other gynecologist as long as Dr. Chavez has his practice. Thanks Dr. Chavez and your Staff for all that you do!
Ive been seeing Dr. Jorge Chavez for over 22yrs. (1989) He is my first and only gynocologist. He delivered my first son 21yrs agob(1990) and also delivered my second son 14 1/2 yrs later (2004). He and his staff are very professional. Most of his staff has also been with him for as long as I have been seeing him which really says alot about this facility. Dr. Chavez is upfront because that's what women need now a days...someone honest. Dr. Chavez and his staff care about their patients. I always recommend Dr. Chavez to my friends and aquaintances. He is very thorough with his examinations and if he sees that something is not right, he does not hesitate to get to the bottom of the problem to resolve it. He is a very educated man when it comes to what is up to date with today's technology. More women should visit him if they are not satisfied with their own gynocologist or simply if they just need a second opinion about a problem they may be having. I thought that I was going to feel uncomfortable with him, because he was a male. But because he is very professional, I feel 100% confident when I go in to see him. I know that Dr. Chavez and his staff can be trusted. When I need to see him and call his staff for an appointment, they always try their very best to fit me into his schedule, even if he is busy.Thank U Dr Chavez
I've been seeing Dr.Chavez since 2003, he's delivered all three of my son's. I will be thirty this year, I say that because I think it depends on your age, of how you will judge Dr.Chavez. He's very straight forward and seems harsh at times. However overall he's a wonderful doctor that won't sugar coat things and I like that. I had a difficult delivery with my third son and Dr.Chavez came in my room later that night, and it was late and told me that I had been a wonderful patient. He's old school, but know's his stuff.
Mr Jorge Chavez is not a good doctor.
I have seen this doctor for my pregnancies and he and his staff have been wonderful. Always willing to work around my schedule for appointments. Very understanding to my needs.

Canadian and Australian scientists have determined that shark fishing has a detrimental effect on coral reefs. They found that when sharks near coral reefs decline, the number of herbivorous fish also declines as the population of mid-level predators, such as snappers, rises. Herbivorous fish are important to reef ecosystems because they eat algae that can oftentimes overwhelm young corals.
The scientists studied reefs about 300 kilometers off the coast of Australia in an area where Indonesians have been fishing for sharks for several centuries and continue to do so under an Australian-Indonesian agreement.
"The reefs provided us with a unique opportunity to isolate the impact of over-fishing of sharks on reef resilience, and assess that impact in the broader context of climate change pressures threatening coral reefs," said Jonathan Ruppert, a University of Toronto Ph.D graduate who was part of the team that conducted long term monitoring of the reefs of Australia's northwest coast. Ruppert was also lead author of the study.
Aussies to Pre-Emptively Hunt and Kill Great White Sharks That Pose Threat to
Endangered Species Protections Sought for Great White Sharks Off U.S. West Coast
Tiger Shark Gives Kayak Fisherman a Scare off Hawaiian Coast
The study says that reef sharks are closely tied to certain coral reefs and that even small Marine Protected Areas can be effective in protecting sharks and allowing coral reefs to recover from such maladies as coral bleaching or destructions from cyclones or hurricanes. The study will appear in the September 28 issue of the PLoS One Journal.

Recent Down Insulated Jacket Reviews
Outdoor Research Men's Filament Jacket
This ultralight down packable jacket is the perfect addition to my backpacking setup. Lightweight, packable, versatile, warm. This ultralight down packable jacket is the perfect addition to my backpacking setup. Similar to the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer, this jacket is warm, windproof, water resistant (haven't tried it standalone in rain, and wouldn't—nothing worse than wearing wet down), super packable, and super light. I never go on a backpacking trip without this item. It hardly takes… Full review
Rab Men's Continuum Hoodie
The perfect high mountain backpacking down jacket. There is almost nothing better than backpacking in the Sierra in late summer/early fall when the nights can get chilly. Temps can routinely get into the 30s and 20s—and even the teens. I remember one morning below Mt. Whitney in late September it was 17 degrees at 6 a.m. When that happens, there is nothing better than having a great down jacket. Unfortunately, that morning I did not have one. I had some layers, a down vest, and a stocking cap. Full review
MontBell Men's EX Light Down Jacket
Great for summer backpacking in Sierras, Rockies, Cascades. Works well as lightweight warmth on backcountry ski days. I have primarily used the jacket on backpacking trips — on chilly nights in the summer above 10,000 ft. and most every night in late September to October above 10,000 ft. So lightweight and compactable, hardly know it is in the pack. Far better than carrying a heavier down jacket, vest, heavy polypro. Oh, and it was plenty warm too. I have spent many a night at 15 - 20 degrees… Full review
Columbia Men's Diamond 890 TurboDown Jacket
Warm, lightweight jacket that is great for both city and outdoor use. This is a great down jacket. A combination of warmth and breathability are what I look for because getting uncomfortably sweaty whilst hiking is never a good experience. The fit of the jacket is snug, but still able to accommodate extra layers underneath if they are needed. A good hood also compliments the fit, with it turning with your head without the need for cords. As with most down jackets it is not great in the rain. Saying… Full review
Outdoor Research Transcendent Hoody
Outdoor Research is great for returns, even if it's your fault. Warm and comfortable. Zipper works great. With the first Transcendent Hoody I hiked the Bonds last winter and was in very strong winds getting blown over and falling in spruce traps. I couldn't change jackets and ripped the jacket a couple times. I called OR told them this story and asked for a place in N.H. that could repair the rips. The customer service rep said I can do better than that, give me your address and size we'll send… Full review
Montane Anti-Freeze 2.0 Jacket
Medium weight down jacket that offers a good balance between warmth and portability. This jacket weighs about 550g (19oz) in size large. It contains 200 grams (7oz) of 650+ fill power down encased in a 50 denier polyester shell. By way of comparison, the Rab Cirque — another down jacket of roughly similar overall weight — has 260g (9oz) of insulation encased in a 30 denier shell. The Montane is therefore not as warm, but is made of tougher outer material. The Montane Anti-Freeze 2.0 has… Full review
Patagonia Women's Down Sweater
Feels nice next to my skin and is light weight; great for layering. I purchased the jacket to wear in the cool winter months in Arizona. It provides warmth without bulk and can easily be worn over a fleece if necessary. The temps in Arizona can dip greatly once one sun sets. Since I am 5'3" 120 pounds with an athletic build, I found the xs fit well with just a tee shirt. After one year, I purchased a small to wear with fleece. The arm length is never a problem for me, but the shoulders… Full review
Patagonia Women's Down Sweater
Great lightweight, packable jacket. Great for base layer jacket in Minnesota winters and also year-round as a light jacket while hiking/biking/camping. Great jacket overall. Packs into its own pocket so great for travel, camping, etc. Overall fit is great. I'm 5'6"/145#, bigger athletic build, wide shoulders with longer arms. The XL fits great, good to layer, sleeves fit my arms great. I've worn this in the snow in winter and camping in the summer. Breathes well. I have had this jacket for two… Full review
Mountain Hardwear Men's Ghost Whisperer Down Jacket
Super lightweight, warm jacket that has served me well until recently. The company logo began to wear off, which did not affect its intended purpose, but then a couple of stitches broke loose too so I sent it in for warranty service. It was less than 3 years old and based on some unfavorable warranty reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. Within three days of MH receiving the jacket I got an email telling me a credit of $320 was being issued to me. Within a week's time after that I received a new… Full review

Day dress
Designer unknown
About 1858-60
Great Britain
Printed cotton, trimmed with whitework embroidery
Museum no. T.702-1913
Given by Messrs. Harrods
This is an example of a fashionable summer day dress of the late 1850s. Typical of the period are the full 'pagoda' sleeves and the bodice gathered from the shoulders into the lower front waist. Tiered skirts were popular in the 1850s. The fabric was printed with a decorative border expressly for use as tiers of a dress. It was known by the French term 'à disposition'.

MONDAY sees the start of Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. It is the world's largest trade fair devoted to mobile devices — and probably the single biggest day of the year for setting out the future of personal technology.
In the space of two hours, almost a half-dozen major cellphone brands will unveil their latest devices or latest strategies for maintaining, regaining or capturing market share in one of the world's most competitive and visible business sectors.
Sony Mobile Communications (SMC) will kick off with a press conference that is expected to show whether it can pick up where its predecessor, Sony Ericsson, left off almost a decade ago.
Back then, the P900 was a revolutionary smartphone that put the brand so far ahead of the competition it was hard to imagine it vanishing from the leadership rungs. But vanish it has.
This year will be critical — its first full year as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony, having bought out Ericsson's 50% stake 12 months ago.
Kuni Suzuki, president and CEO of SMC, is expected to show that the reinvention goes beyond the brand. The flagship Xperia Z phone, with its market-leading five-inch screen and unprecedented camera quality, will no doubt take centre stage.
However, the device is no secret. It was unveiled at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January. It is what joins the Z1 in the lineup, and how Sony can tackle the entire range of consumer segments from the low end up, that will provide the clues to the brand's survival.
At about the same time, another iconic brand that has fallen on hard times will attempt to regain some lustre. Nokia all but owned the global market before the rise of Apple. Its rebirth last year, after CEO Stephen Elop declared that its platform was "burning", failed to set the market alight. And its mid-level Asha phones and high-end Lumia phones, running the Microsoft Windows Phone operating system, have made little impact.
Both of these ranges are expected to be given a major refresh and expectations are that Nokia will incorporate its Pureview Camera technology into the Lumia range. Last year's unveiling of this technology, with a 41-megapixel camera on a phone, was one of the most talked-about moments of the 2012 MWC.
However, camera technology will take a back seat if Nokia announces its first tablet computer. Elop acknowledged during a visit to South Africa a year ago that such a device was likely and that the MWC would be the ideal time to announce it.
The current world leader in cellphone sales, Samsung, is unlikely to release a major new phone at MWC, as it is expected to announce its next flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, at its own event on March 14.
Nevertheless, it will host a media session on phones and tablets shortly after the Sony and Nokia events.
Apple will, as at all major trade events, be conspicuous by its absence, but will continue to cast a long shadow with its "i" brands. Manufacturers of phone accessories will all try to "out-i" each other at the congress.

Democrats in some of the reddest pockets of the interior West have nominated transgender women for Congress, sending a message of inclusivity in races many consider unwinnable for the party.
Misty Snow was nominated Tuesday in Utah to challenge GOP U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, and Misty Plowright won a primary to challenge Republican Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn in the state's most conservative congressional district.
Both candidates are downplaying gender identity in their primary contests.
"Yeah, I'm trans, but the simple fact of the matter is that a lot of people just don't care," said Plowright, 33, a first-time candidate who decided to run after attending...

The 48th TAG Annual opens Saturday at Trumbull Art Gallery.
About 130 artists who live within 100 miles of Warren submitted 241 two-dimensional and three-dimensional works for consideration this year. Curator Karen Fry said that is seven artists shy of the record number of participants since TAG moved to its downtown location nine years ago.
''We were very happy with the response,'' she said.
Jurors for this year's show are Susan Schroeder, a retired art professor at Kent State University, and her husband George Schroeder, a retired art professor at Hiram College.
The couple spent about six hours Sunday narrowing down the 241 entries to the 115 pieces by 87 artists selected for inclusion.
''I said to Susan, 'You two really put a lot of time into this,' and she said, 'So did all the artists','' Fry said.
Fact Box
When You?Go
WHAT: 48th TAG Annual
WHEN: Saturday through Oct. 6 with an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
WHERE: Trumbull Art Gallery, 196-198 E. Market St., Warren.
HOW MUCH: Admission is free. For more information, call 330-395-4876.
While both have juried many art shows in the past, this is the first time they've served as co-jurors.
''We've been bouncing ideas off of each other for nearly 50 years, so it was nothing new,'' she said.
George Schroeder said the work submitted was traditional in subject matter and approach.
''There wasn't anything that was radical or highly experimental,'' he said. ''That makes it easier to judge in a way. You're not confronted with anything you have to figure out from scratch. But traditional can be good. It's not a pejorative thing to say.''
In their jurors' statement, they wrote, ''The range and quality of the art submitted here was impressive. In making our selections we tried our best to see each work from the artist's point of view rather than from our own aesthetic position. We kept our eyes open for originality - an individual point of view - and we found it in abundance. We also wanted to see technical proficiency sufficient to express the visual idea in a piece. In some cases we were quite impressed by the artist's masterful command of their medium.''
In some cases, the artists hurt their chances because of the way the work was presented.
''Regrettably, some entrants disqualified their work by inadequate or inappropriate matting or framing,'' they wrote. ''Occasionally, a work can be strong enough to overcome poor presentation but it doesn't happen often, especially in a strong field such as we have here.''
In addition to the work at TAG, another 69 works not chosen will be display at the Nissen Gallery at Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
''There are some really nice pieces in that show too,'' Fry said.
Fourteen works were selected for cash awards from a prize pool totaling $2,000. George Schroeder said selecting the 14 award-worthy pieces from the 115 accepted works in some ways was easier than deciding what to include.
''All the award winners were certainly strong,'' he said.
The winner will be announced at 8 p.m. Saturday as part of an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the gallery.
''With this kind of show, the kind of thing you're struck by is how much talent there is in the community and how willing they are to support TAG and all it does,'' Susan Schroeder said.

Have you met my good friend Mr. Apathy?
Yes, la~la~la. I feel amazing and alive now that I'm giving my body the food that it's actually intended to eat.
But in pursuing this dietary enlightenment has anyone else started to get -really- pissed off at the state of things? Maybe it's a bad idea for me to be reading a stack of books about US farming, meat industry, corn industry, and agricultural policy during this big lifestyle changeover. I've spent the entire afternoon fuming at the world.
It's all well and good to let people be willfully ignorant and impact their own health, but it goes beyond that. The mass of uninformed sheep that makes up this country steers policy.
Sure, I can choose to buy organic food, but what is an organic chicken really? In a world where Whole Foods proudly sells up items containing organic corn syrup then where can you turn? There's the "local produce," but I live in California. How many of those "local" items are really from Cal-Organic's massive industrial machine of a farm?
I just keep opening new Pandora's Boxes that I can't close. At this rate I'll be living in Berkley within a year using manure to wash my hair and wearing clothes made from sustainable mulch.
( I think all this righteous fury and outrage might tie in with the increase I've been experiencing in Testosterone from going Primal. )

It drives me up the wall thinking about how much land is wasted and ruined growing grains. When I drive past a wheat crop I think about sticking a match in it.
I actually am thinking of ways to reinvigorate land ruined by grain farming and convert it to good grazing pasture. All I need is a few million dollars.
The state of the world makes me feel like my head is going to explode at any moment. I just try to remember that I can simply try to make what difference that I can and not fret about what I cannot change.
I was biking down my street this afternoon. I live in a fairly affluent area, so every front yard was an arrangement of themes, gorgeous plants, and meticulous landscaping. It's sick! The water and money that go into making this "pleasing" decor of environmentally unnatural plants. Imagine just one street of twenty people all using their yards for different types of produce, chickens, even a goat or two for milk and cheese. Then imagine once a week these people bring these assets together as a small community and share amongst themselves. Total hippie ideal that ignores how the world works, I know, but the only thing standing in the way of it's feasibility is PEOPLE. Bleh.
This is why I used to be apathetic, immoral, and blissfully ignorant.

Try to remember that millions in America are going hungry before you get quite so wrapped up in whether your meals pass the good-guy test. Someone somewhere will always be trying to make things that should be good into things which are bad, and there will always be subjective opinions to be weighed. To me, diet is on the lower end of the scale of concerns for the world right now. When one has no home and a wife and kids to feed, grass fed organic no-grain lunatic fringe diets are probably not even on the radar.
I share your frustration. Mine is especially pointed at the pharmaceutical industry and sugar manufacturers.
As for the growing veg etc in your urban neighbourhood and sharing your harvest: why not start something yourself? Get to know your neighbours, tell them you want to start a vegetable garden find out their reaction. The city I live in has a lot of community gardens and more and more urban farmers trading tomatoes for fresh eggs etc. Have you heard of Urban Farm Magazine? It is all about rooftop vegetable gardens, composting in small spaces, bring more sustainable without having to live on acres of land. You might like it. www.urbanfarmonline.com

An excellent monograph on the etiology, pathogenesis and evolution of acute pancreatitis. What is classically known on the disease is well analyzed, and the experimental contributions of the author to the subject are numerous and well conducted. It is emphasized that the fundamental lesion is pancreatic necrosis. It has been postulated that this lesion can be produced by mechanical agents, circulatory and neurovascular causes, effect of bile and autodigestion. The author is inclined to think that all these actions precede or follow the fundamental cause, infection, while he considers that hypersensitiveness as a cause of acute pancreatitis in man has not been sufficiently proved. The illustrations are reproductions of photographs of gross and microscopic specimens. The index contains 219 references.
