Skip to comments.Cruz to get hero's welcome in Iowa and New Hampshire
Posted on 02/15/2014 4:42:27 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Conservatives in Iowa and New Hampshire are preparing a heros welcome for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after he showed up Senate Republican leaders during a crucial vote on the debt limit.
Cruz infuriated his Senate Republican colleagues this week when he filibustered a clean bill to raise the debt limit. His objection forced Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and 11 other Republicans to vote with Democrats to advance the legislation.
But in Iowa and New Hampshire, two important presidential primary states, conservative activists are cheering Cruzs stand and buzzing about a possible presidential run in 2016.
Activists in the two states said they plan to show Cruz their appreciation when he visits in March and April.
A tickertape parade, said Steve Deace, a conservative radio host based in Iowa when asked what kind of reception Cruz will receive from activists next month.
At this point with grassroots conservatives around the country its a close vote between who they distrust the most, the president, [Speaker] John Boehner [R-Ohio] or Mitch McConnell, he said.
Ann Ray Trimble, a conservative activist in Iowa, said she and her allies are thrilled that Cruz took on his colleagues.
It plays very well because the rank-and-file conservative in Iowa is a law-and-order person who believes, as Sen. Cruz stated in his objection, that the rules are the rules, the laws are the laws, and we need to follow them and not break them for political expediency.
Cruz will speak on March 18 at a homeschooling rally hosted by the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators in Des Moines.
On April 12, he will attend the New Hampshire Freedom Summit, an event sponsored by Americans For Prosperity, a Tea Party-allied group, along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, two other potential candidates for president in 2016.
Greg Moore, the state director of Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire, said conservative activists who will gather at the rally applauded Cruzs action and want to see more transparency in Washington.
They want to see people take a stand one way or the other. Where do you stand on spending? How serious are you about spending? Fiscal issues are huge in New Hampshire, said Moore.
Our activists want to see a great deal of accountability, he added. They would look at any opportunity bringing accountability as positive for Sen. Cruz.
Cruzs Republican colleagues, however, did not appreciate his filibuster. They held a tense and angry meeting Wednesday afternoon at which McConnell proposed waiving the 60-vote threshold normally required to advance legislation, according to sources familiar with the session.
Cruz stood up and declared he would not let his fellow Republicans to escape responsibility for advancing the debt-limit bill. He said he would force at least five Republicans to vote with Democrats to overcome the procedural hurdle.
A Senate Republican aide described the meeting as very contentious.
Cruz further inflamed his colleagues by accusing them of trying to mislead the public after the vote.
In the 13 months Ive been in the Senate it has become apparent to me the single thing that Republican politicians hate and fear the most is when theyre forced to tell the truth. It makes their heads explode, Cruz told conservative radio host Mark Levin. The Republicans members of the Senate, they all wanted the perfect show vote.
They should be totally pissed at him, said Fergus Cullen, the former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, when asked about the reaction of Cruzs colleagues. For him to do this after being in the Senate for one year, hes obviously not preparing himself for a long career in the Senate.
Cullen acknowledged that Cruzs tactics would likely win over conservative activists but questioned whether he has come to be viewed by centrists as too far to the right.
I do think objectively it probably plays pretty well to the base, he said.
Whats your long-term aim? Cullen added. Are you interested in getting elected nationally? All youre doing right now is setting up a political career that will hit its ceiling very quickly, and its a pretty low ceiling.
If Cruz were to win the GOP nomination in 2016, he would need resounding support from the partys most conservative voters. He could face stiff competition from Paul and perhaps Huckabee, who won the Iowa caucuses in 2008.
Chip Saltsman, a Republican strategist who managed Huckabees 2008 presidential campaign, predicted Cruz would have a difficult challenge trying to explain his procedural moves in the Senate to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire.
At the end of the day Ted Cruz made McConnell have a 60-vote limit and the debt ceiling still passed. Its not like he stopped the debt limit from being passed, he said.
Cruzs procedural tactics have angered his GOP colleagues throughout his short Senate career. They blasted him for waging a high-profile fight in the fall to link a government funding resolution to an effort to halt the implementation of ObamaCare.
He irked some of them in early 2013 by insisting, along with fellow Tea Party-allied conservatives, on a 60-vote threshold to proceed to a debate on gun control legislation.
Gun-rights advocates later credited Cruz for helping to defeat expanded background checks because the procedural vote offered a useful map of which Republicans might have been sympathetic to the Democratic reform proposal.
Cruz - American who support the Constitution and Equality
under the LAW
obama - an undocumented Indonesian, forced on America
by Pelosi and Soros, who hates the Constitution, and Law,
and had created "Holdering" (the widescale attack, rape
and destruction of innocent or elderly white people
aided by the DO"J" which has told them REPEATEDLY that
they are above, what was once, Law).
Well Earned.
I respect both of you but cannot understand this cheering for Cruz. I don't understand it. He has about as much experience as Obama did when he became President and this is who we want? The guy has not had a single thing get through the House, Senate and signed into law. Sure he and Wendy Davis have the same experience with talking for 30 hours but accomplishing nothing. Why are people not getting behind Walker who is a Governor and has proved to get things done and even rise above adversity and even get reelected after a recall? I don't get it. Why are we wanting another Obama clone in Cruz ..sure they don't agree with each other but they both do nothing but talk. I just don't get it.
Walker is great too. He has accomplished great things - but would have a tough time with a lack of "zing".
Cruz, while only a very short time in office, is indeed an outsider and actually says, straight up, what we're all craving to hear. And damn he can talk - debate anyone - which becomes easier when you just tell the truth.
Both would be good. No candidate is perfect but these two are close imo.
Cruz reminds me of Wisconsin's Governor Walker. Walker said something like this, "I may not be here long but while I am here, I am going to do what ever it takes.....etc."
I applaud Cruz for his tenacity. The Rhino's need to be shaken and shaken hard. They fear Cruz might upset their cushy jobs and self sustaining ideas. No doubt he has other plans than the Senate. He needs to keep a close watch on his back. Nothing surprises me anymore.
No candidate is perfect but these two are close imo.
My biggest complaint with Cruz is his zero accomplishments. If he could just have one result, I would at least be more comfortable with him. I am just concerned that he does not have the ability to motivate and convince his fellow senators to pass laws. He should be able to convince the Democrats too which he has not been able to. I think that is why he is so weak. He is certainly no Reagan who was able to convince Democrats to go along with his beliefs. Heck even Bush could too. Cruz has not convinced on Democrat to vote his way.
He's the next president. A cross between Ronald Reagan and John Wayne.
I think it behooves EVERY voter out there who is resigned to the mistaken idea that voting for the next best alternative is a good thing when it comes to RINOs.
Even the RINOs who have succeeded in maneuvering their 'conservative' records by emphasizing their "no" votes on liberal legislation. Most of the time, these are just 'show votes' which are pointless simple majority votes the KNOW they won't stop. The time to have stopped them was the vote before that, forcing a 60 vote majority for cloture on the bill. They vote yes for that and no for the floor vote. DESPICABLE.
If you are considering voting for one of these traitors, don't believe their 'conservative' ratings. Go look at the votes prior to the ones they are claiming are true to their constituents. RINOs are masters at this game.
I like him...
We did that to ourselves and ended up with McCain and we did it again and we ended up with Romney. Let the best man win because he is the best man not because he is the least worst.
To me, his most important accomplishment is that he is stirring the right to stop being an 0bama rubber stamp. This has the added benefit of identifying the gope [who are now in charge of money and committee assigns.]People crave that.
If he succeeds in overturning the R leadership to conservative, that would be huge to me. At that point, the many other like-thinking but less courageous would find the courage to fight 0bama and the dems too.
IMO the plan never was to defund 0bamacare or prevent the debt ceiling hike - although those outcomes would have been great. The plan was to fight at all to slow them down or even get something in return. It would have been so easy to turn down the debt ceiling increase unless there was a repeal of the cut to troops retirement or a prohibition on ins co. bailouts [risk corridors] or both.
So IMO Cruz HAS accomplished a lot albeit not legislatively.
Bravo. This seems to be a challenge for many.
Yeah. What he said.
Notwithstanding what he said... wouldn't it be cool if FR really DID pick the nominee?
It's called standing on principal my friend... the best politician is one that endears himself to the people by standing on principal, not by playing politics to win the affections of other "witty" politicians and the low information voter.
Well you have a point. I just find Cruz to be Obama in many ways .the gift to gab and one term Senator. We used to forbid Senators from running or at least that was our hope. We need a Governor this time to win because we need someone who has accomplishments. But again you are right with your assessment.
Differing walks in life appeal to different people. Cruz has exactly been out
of the loop but has been involved in many different arenas.
Here are a few examples of his career.
Clerkships, 95-96
Private practice 97-98
Bush Campaign 99
Bush v Gore 2000
U.S. Justice Department and U.S. Federal Trade Commission 00-03
Solicitor Attorney General office - Tx 03-08
Private Practice 09-13
US Senator 13 -
I thought the idea was to STOP all this legislation and roll a lot of it back.
Re experience - Ted Cruz was the Solicitor General of Texas for 5 years pleading cases before the U.S. Supreme Court - very impressive record, you can review it here:
After that he was in private law practice. After Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison retired he fought what was believed to be a losing challenge to a shoo-in candidate for her seat. Yet he was sworn into office Jan 2013.
Reagan was willing to work with the Democrats and to compromise. I don't think Cruz can. If Cruz is elected president in 2016 the Democrats will spend the next four years blocking everything he tries to do.
Though he's not my choice for POTUS, Ted Cruz has chosen to help fill a political void left by the former Republican party's abdication and he's doing an excellent job keeping his promises to those who elected him.
For these things, he has maintained the respect he earned from me and is my hope for Senate leadership and to return the Senate to Constitutional governance.
I wish there were more like him in both houses.
Walker is too geeky. He missed out on a great opportunity after beating the recall last June-the last week of school. Since it was the teachers unions that were so against him he should have shouted-a la John Belushi-"FOOD FIGHT!
But wouldn't the dems block anything any republican proposed?
Anyway gridlock is good. Less damage done that way.
Romney is just the same. He lost-ok? We learned nothing. In his concession speech he could have said to America's young: "Good luck finding a job."
My feeling is that experience has very little to do with getting elected. Most voters, and I would venture a predominance of those who vote for Democrats, do not vote on experience but on emotion. In other words, experience has nothing to do with it. That is not as I would have it but as I see it.
John F. Kennedy had little experience any was elected over the more experienced Richard Nixon. Jerry Ford had far more experience than a governor, Jimmy Carter, but he lost to the upstart. No one had more experience in his resume in recent memory than George HW Bush but he lost to a governor with a dubious past and even more dubious present.
As it is, not how it should be, the price goes to the charismatic, to the "cool" candidate, the one who can capture the emotion and build momentum. Ted Cruz clearly has that ability. If one listens to his appearance the other day on Mark Levin's reply one cannot help but be impressed with the man's eloquence and, yes, his charisma. I have yet to hear him put a foot down wrong.
Governor Walker has a demonstrated character of courage in the face of unrelenting assault and and adherence to conservative principles which gives one confidence in his integrity as well as his ability.
The question is, do you favor a man who has potential to sweep the country into a new era, Ted Cruz, or do you favor a man who was demonstrated a clear capacity to revolutionize and revitalize a state and save it from liberal self-destruction?
Full disclosure, I favor Ted Cruz but I would not be in the least bit unhappy if Walker were our next president. Let the best man win.
"Cruz infuriated his Senate Republican colleagues this week when he filibustered a clean bill to raise the debt limit. His objection forced Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and 11 other Republicans to vote with Democrats to advance the legislation."
Who were the other 11 republicans who voted with herr reid?
We don't need more laws, we need fewer laws.
Barrasso (R-WY)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Flake (R-AZ)
Hatch (R-UT)
Johanns (R-NE)
Kirk (R-IL)
McCain (R-AZ)
McConnell (R-KY)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Thune (R-SD)
Not voting:
Chambliss (R-GA)
Coburn (R-OK)
"They held a tense and angry meeting Wednesday afternoon at which McConnell proposed waiving the 60-vote threshold normally required to advance legislation, according to sources familiar with the session."
That tells you everything you need to know about McConnell. Doing the Dhimms' dirty work behind closed doors and then running ads in Kentucky saying that he's a conservative. This guy is a slime ball.
I see the campaign for President has begun.
The Establishment trolls have already begun posting on Free Republic.
I can't believe they're still parading Karl Rove wannabe Saltsman out to parrot the Party Boy Establishment line. These guys' times have passed but they won't admit and still want to haul in their ill-gotten gain.
Compromise is highly over-rated. During Reagan's second term the dems took back the senate and began destroying all the good Reagan had done with a vengeance. Reagan's administration still holds the record for the most indictments and convictions for various offenses, many on the Iran Contra witch hunt.
"The guy has not had a single thing get through the House, Senate and signed into law."
If that is our yardstick, why not nominate McCain again? He's gotten a lot of things passed.
Or should we be concerned about getting the RIGHT things passed? And continue saying NO to unconstitutional spending and amnesty, even if the rest of the Republican Senate salons want to continue their Big Government binge?
um... how is a REAL conservative to achieve a result with a Senate controlled by Democrats and a Democrat president?
I guess depending on what you call an "accomplishment" IF we gain control of the Senate in the fall, I am sure Cruz will accomplish a lot... that will then be veto'd by Obama. At which point you will then still accuse him of accomplishing nothing.
He is one man standing up against a tidal wave of socialists. Give him the credit he deserves.
I am 100% sure if he had "compromised" to ... "achieve" something, you would be the first here to label him a RINO traitor!
um... how is a REAL conservative to achieve a result with a Senate controlled by Democrats and a Democrat president?
Reagan managed as Governor and President. He had a Demcratic Senate and House for both state and federal. If you are a real conservative you can get things done, when you aren't like Cruz, you can talk all day about it.
Oh definitely. It makes no difference in that respect who gets elected in 2016. If it's a Republican then the Dems will filibuster everything they propose. If it's a Democrat then the GOP will do the same.
Even if the GOP gains control next year, I don't see Cruz being able to accomplish much. The Democrats will filibuster anything he tries and there will still be about 10% to 15% of the Republicans who hate him enough to not support him.
The Democrats that Reagan dealt with were far less radical than the ones who exist today. Not saying they were conservatives but you did have a bunch of blue dogs especially from the south who played a big part in passing Reagan's tax cuts in the eighties. Bush was far more liberal than many of us want to admit so he found common ground with many Democrats especially on things like immigration and government preschool funding. Today's Democratic Party is an absolute joke but they're facing a gutless GOP that won't call them out for what they truly are, an American socialist party, and the media has their back by portraying them as a bunch of centrists to fool the mass of low education dupes. Cruz may not have the national experience you desire but he's the only one in DC willing to take on the left and not back down and make side deals with them. You want him to find common ground with radicals like Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, and hell every other Democratic senator? This is why Cruz appeals to so many of us. He's fed up with the left, tired of the spineless RINOS making deals with them, and he's taking them on mostly by himself. Isn't that enough of a leader for you, or do you prefer a dealmaker who rolls over for the left like Christie or Jeb Bush as the GOP standard bearer? We've gone down that road too many times and look what we've done to this country as a result.
Every single phrase these "journalists" write is just dripping with spin and prejudice.
A "hero's welcome" does not translate into caucus and primary votes in liberal IA and NH.
He has single handedly put the business as usual crowd on their collective asses and turned the system on it's head and is laying waste to the status quo, armed with nothing but principle and courage.
And you compare him to Obama???
He is Sampson with a jawbone destroying the Philistines. A political Rambo.
Keep your eye on this one, it might just open.
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
Walker has a real problem with Comprehensive Immigration Reform and Amnesty.
You're just now realizing that? Where have you been?
The Establishment trolls have already begun posting on Free Republic.
So what exactly did I say that was wrong? A President Cruz could compromise? The Democrats won't filibuster everything he proposes? Can you be more specific please?
Thank you. Maine's other socialist, Angus King, voted yes also.
I'm trying to understand the point the poster is presenting, in that we need one with experience.
So to that point, the GOPe put up Romney, who clearly had experience. They put up McCain, another who had experience. They tried Dole, definately had experience.
I say we go with a man who has honesty and integrity, and yes, a level of experience that is tangible.
No one is going to change naps mind, it's clear as day.
Tell the truth!...are u Karl Rove or just being paid by him??....One thing for sure...you're no conservative...maybe u should spread your liberal GOP-E talking points somewhere else..they wont fly very well here
LMAO....truest post of the day! (expect him to chime in on EVERY Cruz thread..that's the dead giveaway)
That's just plain offensive.
You are comparing a man who lied about who he was, hid what he really believed, and pretended he would do what he never intended to do, with what appears to be a principled conservative, one who wants to put conservative principles in to place, one who HAS actually stood for his beliefs, one who loves everything about America and stands for its founding principles.
I wouldn't mind if Walker was our nominee, but your ridiculous comparison is just odious........

The ship was launched on March 12, 1910. Her first captain was Captain Ioannis Damianos, who took command of the ship on May 16, 1911. Averof sailed for Britain, in order to participate in the festivities for the coronation of King George V and to receive her first load of ammunition.
With the outbreak of the First Balkan War, Kountouriotis was named Rear Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of the Hellenic Royal Navy. Averof, under Captain Sofoklis Dousmanis, served as the flagship of the fleet, and she took part in the takeover of the islands of the northern and eastern Aegean. During the naval battles at Elli (December 3, 1912) and Lemnos (January 5, 1913) against the Ottoman Navy, she almost single-handedly secured victory and the undisputed control of the Aegean Sea for Greece. In both battles, due to her superior speed, armor and armament, she left the battle line and pursued the Turkish Fleet alone.

Welcome aboard, Baby New Year! Look, I know you're not on the job just yet, but if it'll help get you ready for the next 365 days, let me offer you some suggestions that would help U.S. fishermen enjoy your reign.
Let's start with Northeast groundfishermen. Low cod numbers have driven groundfish management for a long time now, Baby New Year, and in the process crippled New England's historic fleet. So anything you can do to get the cod to get busy with the procreating would be greatly appreciated.
While you're at it, encourage our Congressional delegates to approve bills that have been introduced that aim to relax Magnuson-Stevens Act stock rebuilding timelines so that fishermen and regulators alike get a little more breathing room. And maybe get them to require better and more frequent stock assessments, too. More accurate data can only lead to better fisheries management.
How about showing little love for our fishing brethren in the Gulf of Mexico? Over the last six years, they've been plagued by a deluge of seafood imports, hurricanes, floods and a massive oil spill. I don't know how much you do about the imports and oil spills, but if you could chat with Mother Nature and ask her to ease up on the weather-related disasters, it'd be a step in the right direction.
I'm sure West Coast harvesters would be ever so grateful if Pacific salmon and groundfish stocks grow healthier, too. A strong squid season would be nice, and your popularity will soar if you can arrange for a Dungeness crab season that is strike-free and devoid of protracted price negotiations. As for the Alaska fisheries, they're doing well. All you really need to do is stay the course there.
Lastly, plant a seed in the minds of the folks at NOAA to ease back on the throttle where catch share management programs are concerned. Pushing programs that eliminate jobs instead of creating them isn't sound strategy, especially in the presidential election year you're presiding over, Baby New Year.
I could go on, but I don't want to overwhelm you — you're an infant, after all. Allow me to wish you the best of success, Baby New Year, and all U.S. fishermen and their families a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2012.
SeaWeb and Diversified Communications are accepting proposals to present at the SeaWeb Seafood Summit up until Friday, September 30.Read more ...
Governor Bill Walker has officially requested that the federal government declare a disaster for four Alaska regions hurt by one of the poorest pink salmon returns in decades.Read more ...

New York City's famed Grand Central Terminal, recognizable even to many non-New Yorkers because of its prominence on film and TV, is known as a place where thousands of commuters travel through each day. But it has not been much known as theatrical venue, at least until now.
Featuring music by Doug Katsaros, lyrics by Michael Barry Greer, and a book by L.E. McCollough, Orphan Train: The Musical will play in Grand Central's Vanderbilt Hall on October 11 and 12. The musical is based on a real-life initiative in the late 1800s and early 1900s, which had New York City orphans sent out West to adoptive families. Much of the show actually takes place in Grand Central Terminal.
"I am so pleased this show, created and performed by so many talented people, will be seen by New Yorkers in this amazing space," stated the production's director and choreographer Patricia Birch. "This is going to be an emotional, immersive experience for the cast and the audience alike."
Performances of Orphan Train: The Musical are free, but reservations are required. Visit orphantrain.eventbrite.com to reserve tickets.

I remember only too well how self-conscious I was as a teenager and so it's easy to understand why acne causes such misery. Fortunately help is at hand and we get very good results treating acne with Chinese herbs and acupuncture.
In Chinese medicine acne and other inflammatory skin conditions are seen as being caused by a combination of too much heat and dampness. People are said to need heat or yang for movement and to make transformations in the body but too much heat can lead to a variety of problems including acne.
So how do people get too hot? The cause can be internal or external.
An internal cause can be emotional pressure leading to constraint which in turn can lead to heat (a bit like a pressure cooker that gets tighter and tighter until steam comes out of the top). Teenagers are particularly prone to bottling up their emotions and becoming tight and stressed. Another internal cause can be an excess of some hormones which can be yang and therefore lead to expressions of heat.
Another cause, unique to Chinese medicine, is a diagnosis of blood deficiency. This correlates to suboptimal nutrition in conventional medicine. Many of the teenagers we see are not eating enough or are eating the wrong foods making them blood deficient. In Chinese medicine the blood is said to transport normal body waste and if it is deficient and thus not able to it's job, swellings can appear on the skin.
External causes of heat include irritating chemicals on the skin, eating overstimulating foods and too much physical exertion.
So how do people get too damp? Again the cause can be internal or external. Everybody needs moisture or yin in order to function. Dampness in Chinese medicine is a condition where the body does not metabolize fluids well leading to excessive fluids in the body's tissues. Microorganisms such as bacteria thrive in these damp conditions leading to pustules and cystic acne.
An internal cause would be a weak digestive system that is stressed by irregular eating habits and an external cause of damp may be fatty or greasy foods.
At the YinOva Center we help our patients with acne by using acupuncture to clear inflammation and using Chinese herbs to treat the dampness and heat. Job's Tears Seeds (Yi Yi Ren), Poria Mushroom (Fu Ling) and Phellodendrin Bark (Huang Bai) clear dampness and Tree Peony Root Bark (Mu Dan Pi), Red Peony Root (Chi Shao), Goldenthread Root (Huang Lian) clear heat. Some of these herbs such as Phellodendrin Bark and Goldenthread root are also known for their anti-bacterial properties. Our acupuncturists combine these herbs with a formula to treat each patient's specific underlying condition in order to treat their skin. Results usually take 3 – 6 weeks and are quicker if the patient also makes dietary adjustments.

Besides what culinary schools are offering this fall, restaurants, kitchen stores, and even supermarkets are offering cooking classes on topics ranging from the yummy (cupcakes) to the sensible (healthy eating).
Local food bloggers are getting in on the action by passing their niche expertise on to students, at both regional venues and in-home events. Also of note is a new Rittenhouse spot called Cook, where students get to interact with their favorite chefs, while getting fed.
Teaspoons & Petals is a blog that was founded by Alexis Siemons in 2008. She lives, breathes, drinks, cooks with, and writes about tea. You can find her talking about leaves at Cook on Oct. 29 and at IndyHall on North Third Street in January.

WITH a mixture of hope and fear, Broad Street Billy walked into Chickie's and Pete's on Packer Avenue near the sports complex, took a deep breath of the beer-marinated air, and felt that the joint was electric with high hopes.
And when Brad Lidge got the final strikeout of the Phils' 4-2 win over the Giants in Game 5 of the NLCS last night, the jam-packed bar exploded into a red sea of dancing, screaming, heartfelt joy.
"I've got no more voice," said Joe Weber of Merion Station, "but I just want to say, players with heart never give up. Anyone who questioned the heart of this team never played ball.

December 15, 2003 | This smorgasbord of signaling pathways and protein networks is one example of the remarkable work of researchers at the Institute of Bioinformatics in Bangalore, India, who together with Akhilesh Pandey, Aravinda Chakravarti, and colleagues at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, have created the new Human Protein Reference Database (HPRD).
Built using open-source technology, the freely available object database (www.hprd.org) aims to provide information not currently contained in SWISS-PROT, RefSeq, and other popular data repositories. HPRD contains information on thousands of protein-protein interactions, sites of expression, chemical modifications, and disease relevance -- information that was manually collated and annotated by a team of some two dozen scientists in Bangalore sifting through more than 300,000 published articles!
The illustration below, taken from a paper in the October issue of Genome Research, depicts the pathways generated by activation of the EGF receptor (the target of drugs such as Herceptin and Iressa). Proteins in red boxes are major signaling molecules; small circles represent their interactors. Clicking any node links to the corresponding entry in HPRD.
The authors say that "before the power of systems biology can be fully harnessed, [the key issue] is to integrate genomic and proteomic data efficiently along with other sources of information such as the published literature. This integration will translate raw data into useful information, thereby expanding our knowledge about organisms." One immediate priority, for example, is to integrate publicly available microarray expression data. – Kevin Davies

Keffi International Conference
(Department of History, Nasarawa State University, Keffi)
Announces its 2014 conference
Politics Between Nations: 100 Years of Security in Nigeria
Shouldn't we consider the last 100 years as building state security and the Nigerian state? Shouldn't the next 100 years be devoted to building human security and a Nigerian nation? These are the two questions that should confront Nigeria as it marked its centenary as a state in the Westphalia mode. Using realism and human security paradigms as frameworks of analysis, the conference provide platform to examine Nigeria in the last 100 years. Realism burnish the state in security consideration. To this extent and recognising the manner Nigeria came into being, the exercise has been justified by the prevalence of centripetal and centrifugal forces.
The persistence of these dynamics while initially explained as part of the pattern of adjustment among the nationalities of the emerging state has since been superseded by the governance explanation. Underlying the litany of Africa's development problem, observed the World Bank in 1989, is a crisis of governance. Five years later, precisely in 1994, the United Nations Development Programme slammed the state as responsible for insecurity in the developing world. In proposing the human security paradigm, the UNDP blamed the state as the single most important threat to the security of the people, over the course of several decades. It advocated for deemphasising the pre-eminence of the state for people as the focus of security. It was merely echoing the governance crisis of the World Bank. Thus was born the two contending paradigms of security—state and human--at least in the context of developing world.
The UNDP observation on the role of state pan out in the last 100 years of the Nigerian state. The state is the major source of insecurity for the people of Nigeria to the extent that Nigeria has no significant external threat, throughout the last 100 years, to justify the expenditure on strengthening the state to the detriment of the welfare of Nigerians. This explains the politics between nations as nationalities contest for the limited space created by poor governance. The conference provide the platform to examine issues within the two contending security paradigms in Nigeria.
The conference examines hundred years of modern security theory and practice in Nigeria. Prior to the creation of Nigeria in 1914, the notion of security was dispersed and peculiar to the communities hitherto in existence. The making of the territorial space called Nigeria ushered in a conception of security in tandem with the Westphalia system. In the course of the colonial and post colonial periods, security has evolve over the years.
In examining security over the course of one hundred years of Nigeria, the conference provide platform for different shades of the opinion on its evolution, context and content. In theory and practice, did security represent the state as advocated by the realist paradigm? Whose state? Did it represent the people? Which people? Did it represent a little of the both--state and people? Did security develop a Nigerian identity? Shouldn't the future of security theory and practise be the people? How did Nigerians fair in the representation of security in the last one hundred years? How should Nigerians fair in the next 100 years?

Hellenism and Christianity
3 comments:
- W.LindsayWheeler said...
Prof. Jerry Dell Ehrlich in his book Plato's Gift to Christianity also lays out the importance of the Septuagint upon the Hellenistic world and upon Christianity.
In the Septuagint, Greek words led to the Hellenization of the Jews at home and in the Diaspora. The Septuagint was created three hundred years before Christ. In many places where the word "messiah" is written, is the word "xristos" (Christ) is written. The Septuagint had a huge influence along with Plato's writings in the formation of Christianity.
Hellenism not only included an emphasis on education, it also passed on the ideas of Arete (excellence), the love of beauty and also virtue (the excellence of a man). Arete, the love of Beauty, Virtue and Paideia are key ideas of Hellenism.

The Stoics were revolutionaries in that they rejected hierarchy in society. They mangled the transmission of the Natural Law that the Doric Greeks discovered which informed the foundation of Socratic and Platonic thought.
They turned the natural law into human morality which divorced it from it original that which "steers the cosmos from within". Their rejection of hierarchy which is part of the Natural Law shows them to be revolutionaries. They rejected the old order of Greece and proposed a different way.
Another name for the natural law is the logos. Heraclitus uses the term logos to describe this steering. Logos originally meant "the reason found in nature". I see from the OP that the Stoics redefined the logos as well. No doubt that Stoicism influenced much in the Hellenistic Age but that some of its teachings were not traditional.

- World History said...
Macedonia is an ancient kingdom located in south-eastern Europe, north of Greece, west of Thrace, and east of Illyria. Philip II was born in 382 BC, in Pella, the capital of the ancient Macedonian kingdom, as the youngest son of king Amyntas III. After his fathers death, Macedonia slowly disintegrated. His elder brothers and future kings Alexander II and Perdiccas III, unsuccessfully fought against the continuous attacks of the neighboring Thracians, Illyrians, and Greeks.

Renting vs. buying home comes down to job, finances
Renters often hear jeers that they're paying somebody else's mortgage.
They feel pressure to escape rent increases and take advantage of low home prices last seen a decade ago.
For most, the decision boils down to whether their jobs are stable, how much savings they would have after buying, and how long they intend to stay in the area.
"No one thinks of housing as a risk-free investment anymore," said Jed Kolko, chief economist for real estate website Trulia.com. "If you're going to buy, you need to be in a financial position where you're able to deal with the risks of prices going down."
Housing industry experts weighed in on the rent vs. buy debate in three hypothetical case studies.
SCENARIO ONE: A police officer making $60,000 a year, newly married, currently renting a two-bedroom apartment for $1,500, never owned a home before. Jim Flood, regional manager for Supreme Lending in Boca Raton, Fla., said a new homeowner still should have at least two to four months' of cash in savings after buying. Assuming he has the appropriate savings and his job is safe, the officer is a good candidate to own, Flood said. If he put down 3.5 percent on a $150,000 home and had an interest rate of about 4 percent, his total monthly payment, including principal, interest, taxes and insurance, would be roughly $1,100 -- a savings of $400 from what he pays in rent.
- Bottom line: Easy call. Buy.
SCENARIO TWO: Recent college graduate, living with her parents, monthly payments of $300 for a car and $400 for student loans, has minimal savings and a $40,000-a-year job, but is willing to relocate for another.
The car and student loan debts are the biggest obstacles to buying, Flood said. She'd have to buy a small home or condominium, but she's likely better off staying a renter.
"If it was my daughter, I'd tell her to pay off the car or student loans and save more money for a rainy day," Flood said. Randy Bianchi, co-owner of Paradise Properties of Florida in West Palm Beach, Fla., agrees. Plan to live in a home you buy for at least five years, experts say. "Homes are cheap right now, but owning will tie you down," Bianchi said.
- Bottom line: Stay with parents or rent cheaply.
SCENARIO THREE: Retired couple in their mid-60s, small pension, just sold their house for a $15,000 profit, looking to stay in the area and downsize. The major factor here is the modest profit on the home sale. It's not enough to buy another home or condo outright or to significantly pay down a mortgage on a new place, said Michael Citron, a Florida real estate agent. A better option might be a 55-and-over rental community, he said.
"They just don't have enough money to buy a home."
- Bottom line: Rent.

Dharma, Yoga Life, and Permaculture
written by Srinivasan, director Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch
Yoga is right living. We practice yoga so that we can be not only healthier in body and mind, but that we can live in peace and harmony with our environment and all of our relationships. The teachings of Bhagavad Gita, of Ramayana, of Mahabharata, and of our gurus, Swami Vishnudevananda and Swami Sivananda are showing us the way to "Divine Life", to a life of Dharma.
As war and technology have broken are connection with sustainable living, Permaculture is a successful approach to applying skills which both protect nature and care for people. We are fortunate enough to have two brilliant innovators and teachers of Permaculture – Julia and Charles Yelton to annually teach a Permaculture Design Course at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch. Julia and Charles understand the deep connection between the Permaculture approach to dharmic living and that of Yoga.
We would like to share with you a little of that connection and to heartily invite you to join in the upcoming Yoga and Permaculture Design Course. This course is more than the sum of the parts. It is a course in Dharma for the 21st Century.
What is Dharma?
Dharma is sustainable living – life in balance. That which sustains life is Dharma. That which promotes integrity, health, relationship, happiness, love, truth and peace is Dharma. Dharma in nature is instinctual. Nature organizes itself in patterns, ecosystems, renewable energy flow, leaves no waste that is not a resource further in the cycle of life. The seasons, life cycles demonstrate the gunas flowing in balance. Growth, homeostasis, and decay are the eternal qualities by which nature maintains balance while continuously changing – like a flowing river. Every living organism; every cell and organ within every organism, lives in the midst of life cycles, energy cycles, chemical cycles that follow nature's laws of sustainability or Dharma.
Yet man breaks all laws of health, ecology, pattern, rhythm and cycle of Life. Most modern "developed world" physical, mental and spiritual disease is caused by lifestyle inbalances, and pollution of the environment by unsustainable farming, industry, transportation, energy, housing and war. Life out of balance is "adharma" - binding, diseased and unsustainable.
What is Yoga?
Yoga Life leads to physical, mental and spiritual health. Swami Vishnudevananda summarized healthy, dharmic living in five points:
proper exercise – asanas
proper breathing – pranayama
proper relaxation – savasana
proper diet – vegetarian
positive thinking and meditation - vedanta and dhyana
and, the four yogas:
karma yoga – Yoga of selfless service
bhakti yoga – Yoga of Divine Love or devotion.
raja yoga – Yoga of self-mastery through Hatha Yoga and meditation.
jnana yoga – Positive thinking to realize the universal nature of Self
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is caring for people and the planet. Permaculture has developed principles by which people can live a culture of Dharma acknowledging that industrial and post-industrial society has lost its moorings in natural sustainability. Just as the Five Points of Yoga would be natural if we lived within the natural laws of health, and serve as a road map for a sick civilization back to health, Permaculture principles follow natural laws of sustainability that can help us reestablish our relationship with the natural systems of the planet.
Swami Vishnudevananda and Permaculture
One of the main focuses of Swami Vishnuji's later Peace Missions was the theme of Survival into the 21st Century and United we stand, divided we perish. Swamiji saw even then that the priorities of our civilization are topsy-turvy. We need a change in attitude, a change in lifestyle, and practical techniques to put those changes into practice. Already by the end of July, 1980, Swami Vishnudevananda organized a symposium called "Into the 21st Century". He invited some of the foremost visionaries of the time. Bill Mollison, the founder of the Permaculture movement, was on the cutting edge of sustainability at the time having just published his Permaculture I and II.
By 1980 Swami Vishnudevananda had seen the coming decline of the fossil fuel economy, and was leading our headquarters in Val Morin to prepare for a self-sufficient future. He had cleared a large area for farming. We had two large greenhouses so that we could grow in the winter. The stream that ran through the property had been redirected so as to create the Master's pond and the pond at Swami Vishnu's house, as well as to provide for the irrigation of the ashram's gardens. Swamiji had designed his house with an attached greenhouse/sun room where we held winter satsangs and was filled with plants. He had solar panels and passive solar heating for his house. He even had a water wheel and fountains gravity fed from the stream. Swamiji trained us to do our own maintenance and would not tolerate waste.< We could see the natural connection between Swamiji's vision of peace and the Permaculture principles.
- Peace missions to actively demonstrate that with commitment, compassion and creativity we can remove the barriers that we created with negative thinking, hatred and fear.
- Waste is sin. The wealth we have is a gift and the result of hard work. To throw it away as "garbage" or to squander resources is the opposite.
- Yoga Teachers Training Course change fabric of society thread by thread by teaching disciplines of healthy life-styles and positive thinking not only to our students, but to send them out to teach Yoga to others. He literally sent Yoga viral.
- Fixing old cars. Coming from a culture where middle-class people save for years to buy a car that they will use for many more years and see our throw away car culture, Swamiji, bought a Buick that was built in 1927 – the same year he was born and kept it as a reminder of how need to maintain all of our possessions like our body.
- Farm for the Yoga Camp. Swamiji bought a tractor and an old farm near the Camp with the idea of self-suffiency.
- SAMA community – Sivananda Ashram Membership Association was started in the mid 1980's with ashram land subdivided for families to build their homes adjacent to ashram; for householders not ready to live a full monastic life of ashram to make their own living while participating in the ashram group practice and karma yoga.
- Yoga Ranch Colony – Swami Vishnudevananda opened the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch here in New York with the expressed intention that the ashram be open to families integrated into the ashram lifestyle – a colony for Yoga Life.
- Storing Food – We have always been encouraged to store food to be ready for disasters.
- Cottage Industries – To make sure that the ashrams were self-sufficient, Swamiji started local businesses and cottage industries: Adam's Pizza restaurant along with Master's Bread that distributed the ashram made bread and a Sprout business at the Yoga Ranch in the 1970's and 1980's. These businesses not only fed the ashram with the food produced, but connected us with the local community and brought in a modest income.
- TTC scholarships for the developing world – though our Yoga teachers training courses have been offered at reasonable rates, we have always offered scholarships for students from developing countries recognizing their financial challenges.
- Teach by example – Yoga must be practical and the goal is to train practitioners rather than preachers.
- Ashram and centers with permaculture projects – More and more of our Sivananda Centers and Ashrams are developing Permaculture projects around gardening, energy conservation and waste management. Grass Valley, Val-Morin, Orleans, Trivandrum, Nassau and Woodbourne Ashrams; Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles Centers to name a few.
Most of all Yoga helps transform attitudes, habits, relationships, and the understanding of how to achieve happiness, from that of material consumerism to an appreciation for the sacred unity and beauty of life.
Yoga, Permaculture and the Dharma of Relationships
- Relationship with ourselves – health, self-respect, realizing our true nature as universal Self. Jnana Yoga is knowledge of the Self. Raja Yoga is intuitive realization of Self through controlling mind. Bhakti purifies the mind of selfishness by honoring all life as divine. Karma Yoga seeks to make ourselves happy by making others happy.
- Relationship with the planet / people – permaculture projects; peace missions; cultivating attitude of family, friends, and guests as God; creating community - (Yoga Centers and Ashrams as community); the nation, the planet; and honoring the past and future seven generations when consciously working with our needs. "Love thy neighbor as thy Self". Sacrifice and charity as spirit in expression. Karma Yoga is the foundation of spiritual practice.
- Relationship with God - All Life is sacred (which includes all of the above relationships), but also recognizing that Spirit is the life of all Nature. Recognizing spirit in life as Siva and Shakti – Universal Consciousness and the Power of Creation. Understanding the diversity and cycles of nature through the qualities or gunas in constant change, and recognizing the balance in nature as dharma. Bhakti Yoga is devotion to Life. Jnana Yoga is realizing Sarvam Khalvidam Brahman – "All indeed is Brahman"
Yoga Ranch and Permaculture
We have been training all of our staff at the Yoga Ranch in the principles of Permaculture for the past six years when we first started offering Permaculture Design at the Yoga Ranch because we believe that Permaculture is a necessary auxiliary to the Yoga Lifestyle in this age of life out of balance.
Though this course does attract gardeners, engineers and architects who make their living with the Permaculture techniques, this course is just as relevant to anyone who wants acquire a rich toolbox for transforming their personal lives to be more dharmic and sustainable. Just as we train Yoga teachers to become good yoga practitioners, the permaculture design course is training people in knowledge to live sustainable that we have lost in our modern civilization.
Om and Prem, Srinivasan

MMs want ths 5-10% pull back to load up the truck for the next run. Celg will blow out earning and this stock will run.
Prolly should look into getting a new crystal ball. A lot of gun shows are selling them out of the back
Earnings will be a week after the debt ceiling deadline. A lot can happen before they report earnings. The move up today is likely because of end of quarter window dressing and an extra pump from Cramer. This is wonderful exit territory, not hold and hope territory, IMHO. I've exited and now just bought 2 puts. If I lose, the loss is limited. It's too risky to remain long here, IMHO.
Be real nice if "they blow out earnings" - but what are you basing this on??
Sentiment: Hold
Just said that FMs want to buy this stock at lower that why they are pushing down this stock. Quarter window dressing is near. Stock goes down from 152 to 145 in two days in low volume tell me that FMs are controlling this move. No other reason to cause this downward other than FMs magnipulate.

Crash of Iranian built plane leaves 39 dead
TEHRAN, Iran -- A locally built Iranian passenger plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Tehran on Sunday, killing 39 people and reviving questions about the safety of a cash-strapped aviation sector left hobbled by international sanctions.
President Hassan Rouhani offered his condolences to victims' families and quickly ordered an investigation into the crash. Similar planes operated by Iranian carriers will be grounded until the probe is complete, he directed.
The plane was based on a relatively obscure Ukrainian design that has been involved in previous Iranian air disasters.
The Sepahan Air regional airliner, bound for the eastern town of Tabas, went down in a residential area shortly after takeoff at 9:20 a.m. from Tehran's Mehrabad airport.
State TV said the plane's tail struck the cables of an electricity tower before it hit the ground and burst into flames. The official IRNA news agency said the plane suffered an engine failure. Whatever the ultimate cause, quick thinking by the pilot may have saved some lives.
"We should be thankful to God that the pilot did all he could to steer the plane away from residential buildings and fortunately did not crash into them. Otherwise, we would have been dealing with a much worse crisis," said Jalal Maleki, spokesman of Tehran's Fire Department.
Known as an IrAn-140 or Iran-140, the twin-engine turboprop is a version of the Antonov An-140 regional plane and is assembled under license in Iran. It can carry up to 52 passengers.
A Ukranian-made An-140 crashed near the central Iranian city of Isfahan in 2002, killing 46 mostly Ukranian and Russian experts traveling to witness the maiden flight of the Iranian-built version of the plane. A similar Iranian-made version crashed during a training flight in Isfahan in February 2009, killing five onboard, according to a report by state-run Press TV at the time.

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are on an undisputed role headed into their bye week.
Shutting out the league's best running-attack in New York followed by a blowout home victory over the lackluster Dallas Cowboys is impressive in itself, but what can the Packers do to improve over the mid-season break?
Aaron Rodgers proved his worth against Dallas Sunday night, but room for improvement is lurking heading into the home-stretch of the regular season. How Rodgers handles the pressure and criticism will ultimately lead to his later development.
Looking ahead to a Minnesota Vikings team that is more than capable of pulling off the upset at home, the Packers must fire on all cylinders coming off the long week. Rest assure, the team will be well rested, but will they perform?
Every team has needs it must fulfill to insure winning at any cost, so the question remains: what can the Packers do?
Let's find out.
