In an interview, the Met's new chair of modern and contemporary art, Sheena Wagstaff, reveals her priorities for building up the museum's collection: creating a Turbine Hall-like space for artists to experiment and making the program less West-centric. Building a top-notch contemporary collection doesn't come cheap, however: The Met is competing with MoMA, which spent $51 million on acquisitions in 2011. [FT via AMM]

Businessman Says He Lost Hundreds of Customers After Attacks by Obama Campaign
Obama's enemies list is working
Businessman Frank Vandersloot, the CEO of Melaleuca, has been targeted by the Obama campaign after donating money to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. "Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, 'Keeping GOP Honest,' took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney," Kim Strassel of the Wall Street Journal reported.
Titled 'Behind the curtain: a brief history of Romney's donors,' the post accused the eight of being 'wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records.' Mr. VanderSloot was one of the eight, smeared particularly as being 'litigious, combative and a bitter foe of the gay rights movement.'"
The attacks are working. Vandersloot revealed in an interview on Fox News that his business practice is being hurt by the attacks from the Obama team.
"Those people that I know well weren't affected by this [attack]," said Vandersloot. "But for people who didn't know me, who are members of our business or customers, and they were reading this, then we got a barrage of phone calls of people cancelling their customer memberships with us."
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
Wow, if there ever was a need for yet another reason to get rid of Obama, this supplies it.
Obama- Killing American jobs one day at a time.
I don't believe it. Check out His web site, why would people who buy His products care who He contributes to?
But it would be a clever way to drive people to your site by claiming zer0s people are attacking you and for that move I give Him kudos.
zer0 does not have that many "people" and the people who He has are just angry nobodies .
Rush Limbaugh aired this about Vandersloot yesterday. He must've thought it was real.
Adolf Hitler is alive and well in the evil mind and body of Barack "hate & destroy America" Hussein Obama!!! America, wake up, your time in freedom & liberty diminishes every day this tyrant, Obama remains in office. Orwell's "1984" has arrived!!! Big Brother Obama is really, Big Brother Dictator!!!
That's a fasscist tactic Hitler used ...until "The Night Of The Long Knives"
Well, this is what he said.You think he is not telling the truth?
"Three weeks ago, an Obama campaign website, 'Keeping GOP Honest,' took the extraordinary step of publicly naming and assailing eight private citizens backing Mr. Romney,"
Doesn't have that many "people"? Have you been asleep for the last three years?
Boy are you naive.
The man IS the enemy of the state.
Just looked at their web site and it looks to be another Amway, just with a "green" angle.
Read some of the complaints on anti- site and they don't sound political, rather more like issues I would have if I found out I HAD to buy a certain amount monthly or be billed anyway.
I think you may be right about the free advertising.
Shortly after the feds took over GM, a lot of Dealers who had donated to conservatives had their stores taken.
The odd thing is they were making a profit. Their inventory was given over to "progressive" owners.
There are quite a few other articles as well about VanderSloot which appear to cite facts using publicly available information. I don't think VanderSloot is a naive businessman who made a big donation to conservative causes and then got slammed for doing so.
If the claims in this article are true, he's a wealthy supporter of Mitt Romney who succeeded in business using some pretty aggressive tactics which he then applied to his critics in politics, and is now getting the same kind of scrutiny applied to him by liberals that we as conservatives would give to a wealthy supporter of Barack Obama.
That's America.
For whatever it's worth, while I don't like his support of Mitt Romney one bit, it certainly looks like he's done a lot of good for the opponents of gay marriage. I have no agenda against VanderSloot — I just wish he'd stick to fighting gay marriage and wasn't a Romney supporter.
The truth will come out sooner or later. If all VanderSloot did was make threats against "little guys" who were mad about his big donations, he's now playing in the big leagues and has found out that both sides fight hard. Money can buy lots of things, but it can't buy freedom from critics — and shouldn't.
You know what ? What you said is something that needs to be shouted from the rooftops.
I remember this. I remember how the South had been given dealerships to Penske, and other dealers were shut down. Do you happen to have any links to this ? I wanna make this my mission of the weekend.
That tactic goes back to Obummers run up to fill the Illinois U.S. Senate seat ... his opponents divorce records were used against him ... he withdrew.
There were also recent inquiries into his court divorce records ...

Yep scumbag Axelrod has taught a new generation of libs the communist way to destroy your opposition
These donors are honorable people compared to Obama's donors like Bill Maher , Corzine, fake mickey mouse. Tactic to scare future donors away.
Also check for a lawsuit against GM by a New York dealer who lost his dealership. He spoke at a Tea Party rally in DC.

I'm surprised no one recognized this modus operendi from Palin/Cain campaigns. No deed is below Zippy. Death threats are most likely the norm also. Gloria Allred is always on standby.
You three need to buy a clue as to the nature of the enemy.
The Left's collective heads were EXPLODING for years about Nixon's "enemies list". They still fulminate about it to this day as an example of Teh Evul Repukes.
Obama has an enemies list. VanderSloot is going to get audited by the IRS, just like all of Bill Clinton's enemies did, and the media won't call the Chicago Punk on it.
Remember - if Bush had had his enemies audited by the IRS, there would have been millions of words and thousands of articles published about it. But it's okay if the Democommies do it...
And thats why my next car or truck will be Japanese. Screw Unions and auto companies who took our tax dollars. They make crappy stuff then cry when people dont buy them. Then the unions force companies to create job banks where slobs can sit in a room and make more dollars than the brave men and women who defend this country.
Screw them all.....they can keep their crappy autos on their lots til they rust{which is about three months}.
As far as I can tell, to date, all that has been done against VanderSloot is the same sort of thing that we would applaud if it were being done by conservative opposition researchers to a major liberal donor.
We have every right in the world to know the political and ideological and business backgrounds of major donors to a political campaign. It shows the sort of people who back a candidate, and gives important clues to who will influence the candidate if elected.
Let me repeat here: I'm not saying this because I supported Santorum against Romney. I like VanderSloot's views on homosexual marriage. I don't like his choice of candidate for president, but since the Republican race is all but over, Romney needs all the financial backing he can get.
Frankly, I think it's more than ironic that Romney is being attacked by Obama as being supported by militant anti-gay wealthy donors. What is Obama's goal? Convince people like me, who don't like Romney, to vote for him because even if Romney is a "Massachusetts moderate," he has big backers like VanderSloot who will keep Romney from being liberal on homosexual issues?
Homosexual terrorism.
Are you saying you believe Obama's goal is to get you to vote for Romney, by pretending that Romney is anti gay marriage when he really isn't??
Excuse me, but that's what I thought you said at the end of your post.
For any reason, no matter what, why would Obama's goal be to get you to vote for Romney??
OR, by the words "vote for him", did you mean convince you to vote for Obama?? Instead of Romney? But why would you do that, when the reason you don't like Romney is because you supported Santorum on social issues and for other, conservative ideological, reasons?
Frankly, I'm lost in trying to understand.
This works both ways. Go to FEC, find out who has donated in your community to Obama. Let them know by letter or casual drop in, (if they own a small business) that they are getting no more of your business. Literally slam the front door on them. And then e mail 10 friends in town to do likewise. Run these people out of business. They wanna start that crap, well, two can play at that game. (My, Freepers in enemy territory in West Hollywood or Contra Costa County are going to be busy.
Don't go hysterical.
No one is denying nobama wants to be a tyrant or he is and will do anything to get re-elected. No one has any doubt if he can get re-elected we will all pay a terible price.
I was not addressing the dirty politics aspect, just the business they focussed on. The company named in the thread sure looks to be one to stay away from even if it wasn't attacked by the left. Do you dispute that?
"Boy are you naive."
Did y'all know that the word "gullible" is not in the dictionary?
[agreeing with beandog *snark*]
Amway doesn't sell in stores. I've pulled freight out of one of his warehouse in Idaho Falls that was going to a large retail chain distribution center.
Employees seemed pretty friendly there and the drivers waiting area had 20oz soda vending machines for $1 (yea I stocked up).
"is being attacked by Obama as being supported by militant anti-gay wealthy donors."
It's ALL ABOUT THE MEME...
Now that Obama has his mostly-gay mainstream media/Hollywood base in line, the goal is to paint ALL Republicans as bigots.
These tactics go at least as far back as the slander against Anita Bryant, who lost her account with Florida Citrus growers because she was perceived as being "hateful" against homosexuals. Whether or not I use the product, and besides the fact that I can't STAND MLM, I have no doubt in my mind that the "gay lobby" targeted this individual. It is their standard operating procedure.
What gives them the right to destroy reputable businesses? These people are ruthless. Believe it.
Joe the Plumber was the first private citizen they launched attacks on. They will never stop doing it I think.
Since running for PRESIDENT anyways
Once the gay mafia gets hold of something, katy bar the door. I believe every word of it.
"And thats why my next car or truck will be Japanese. "
It was in the news the past week that Toyota took back the sales crown for the 1st qrtr of 2012. My customer bought a Kia a few days ago and I scratched my head. He took me for a ride along the beach and it was damn quiet inside, like it was a Lexus.
I'm on my third Kia Optima. Best car I've ever owned. While they offer a top-grade warranty (100K on the power train, 60K all else, inc. emergency road service), I've never had to have any warranty work done. Never so much as a rattle or a squeak.
30-32 mpg on the road, 26-28 in town.
He got a Sorento, but he had an eye for the Optima. Later told me he got treated better there than the other dealerships. The only thing he observed was that Koreans were emotionless' if that's a description.
Dealerships are going to vary a lot, of course.
But I'm as pleased with my dealership here in Texas as much as I am with the car.
No Koreans involved with this one. That I know of, anyway.
My brother is a American car man. The only non US car was a Volvo he owned back in the 70s.
He was also a Jeep man. But the last Jeep Grand Cherokee was a lemon. It was always having trouble and was a real hanger queen.
The last straw was when all the system warning lights came on for no reason. He drove it to a Toyota dealer and traded it in for a new Highlander. For a man like him to buy a Japanese car is a commentary on the state of US car makers.
This is the King's displeasure and it will grow.
We are turning into subjects.
This is the King's displeasure and it will grow.

Most Efficient Carpet Stain Removal Ideas
Carpets have been used for centuries to cover and protect wooden floors, especially around the high traffic areas. Beautiful, fluffy and cosy, carpets are a great addition to the comfort of your home, but one of their main downsides is that they require regular maintenance. Carpet cleaning is paramount, as dust mites, mold and bacteria tend to gather deep inside the carpet fibers and trigger severe respiratory conditions, or worsen the already existing ones. Here are some great
carpet stain removal
ideas that you can all use:
1. Remove Water-Soluble Stains With Non-Bleach Detergent
Non-bleach detergent is your best friend when you try to remove a stubborn stain that simply won't come out, no matter if you are trying to remove it from a synthetic carpet or from your clothes. Mixing a quarter teaspoon or white vinegar with 32 ounces of water is the perfect removal solution for stains caused by wet paint, mud, milk, jelly, washable ink, cola, berries, alcoholic beverages and virtually any other water soluble liquid.
2. Remove Dirt And Mud With A Damp Cloth And Detergent
Dirt and mud stains are very common, and one of the biggest mistakes people tend to do is that they rush to clean the stain directly, without vacuuming the dry mud first, and this is when the disaster happens. It is important to firstly vacuum all the dry dirt and to remove as much of it as possible, as otherwise you risk to expand the stain instead of cleaning it. Only after it has been vacuumed you can move on to dampening a piece of white cloth, then dipping it into an efficient detergent solution and then you can dab repeatedly. Allow the solution to act for 15 minutes and then clean everything with a piece of dry, white cloth.
3. Remove Fat, Wax And Oil With A Paper Towel And An Iron
This is another old yet highly efficient trick – if you have accidentally stained your carpets with grease or candle wax, then all you have to do is to carefully place either a paper towel or a piece of newspaper over the stain and then carefully iron it. The heat will make all the grease or wax come up off the carpet, and it will be absorbed by the paper.
4. Remove Sauces With Solvent
Mayonnaise and gravy stains are particularly difficult to remove with water and soap, this is why you need to use some solvent. Apply a small amount of it to a white cloth and then apply the cloth on the stain for 15 minutes. Only after that you can start to blot it with another piece o white cloth that was previously soaked in lukewarm water.
5. Opt For The Services Of A Professional Carpet Cleaning Company
If you have severely stained your carpets and you have tried all the tricks available and none of them worked, then perhaps it is time to use the services of a professional company that
specialises in carpet cleaning in Wellington
. These are certified professionals who use efficient, safe cleaning materials and advanced cleaning equipment to
remove carpet stains quickly and permanently

Another record topples in pensions buyout market
Insurer Legal & General has signed the biggest single pensions insurance deal agreed in the UK to date by taking on £3 billion of assets and liabilities from the ICI Pension Fund, which is sponsored by chemicals giant AkzoNobel.
The transaction is one of two announced by AkzoNobel and the ICI trustees today; taken together with the second, a £600 million buy-in with Prudential, it means the ICI fund has insured about £3.6 billion, or a third of its total liability.
In a statement on the deals this morning, the chief financial officer of AkzoNobel, Keith Nichols, said that they would "reduce the risk that AkzoNobel will be required to contribute additional cash in the future".
Nevertheless, AkzoNobel did warn investors that the immediate impact of the deals could be to increase its payment into the pension fund – which has a deficit last formally gauged at £945 million – by another £125 million.
AkzoNobel, which took on responsibility for the fund in 2008 when it acquired its UK competitor ICI, has already agreed a funding plan worth £1.2 billion in total over the years between 2012 and 2017, of which £649 million has been paid.
The £125 million that AkzoNobel announced today would be additional to this, and depends on the outcome of the ICI Pension Fund's next valuation, which will take the insurance deals announced today into account. An increase in deficit funding would likely be a consequence of a more conservative, low-risk investment strategy.
A de-risking deal for the £9 billion fund, a final-salary arrangement that closed to new joiners in 2000, has been expected for some time. In 2012, AkzoNobel arranged a £1.4 billion longevity hedge for another group pension scheme in the UK, the Courtaulds Pension Scheme.
At the time, Matthew Trueblood, UK pensions manager at AkzoNobel, said: "The ICI fund is already extensively hedged, and the trustees of the ICI fund will be looking at the full range of ideas for further de-risking that are out there."
Last October, the ICI fund recruited a new chief executive, Heath Mottram, previously head of fixed income and liability management at the Universities Superannuation Scheme. Earlier in the year, the fund's trustees also said they would raise their interest-rate and inflation hedging targets to 80% of the fund's exposures.
In a statement this morning, David Gee, chairman of the ICI fund trustees, said: "Members can be reassured that this will improve the security of their benefits by substantially reducing longevity risk for the Fund".
Mottram said the transactions were the result of "significant work" by the trustees over the past six months, "including a thorough selection process and negotiation of competitive pricing and terms."
Clive Wellsteed, a partner at pensions advisers Lane Clark and Peacock who advised on the deal, said: "At £3bn, this landmark transaction is the largest of its kind to date, with the Fund using its scale to negotiate competitive terms, reduce risk and enhance member security."

A Hilo man accused of killing his girlfriend and her mother went before a judge on Thursday.
Sean Matsumoto stood in silence, listening to the charges against him.
Investigators said the 34-year-old shot his girlfriend, 45-year-old Rhonda Lynn Alohalani Ahu and then her mother Elaine, killing both just before 11 p.m. on Monday night.
Matsumoto's grandfather said the last few days have been unbearable.
"I'm sorry about the whole incident and I'm so depressed I cannot sleep at night," said Masayuki Matsumoto.
Police said it was Matsumoto himself, who called 911, telling the operator he just shot two people at his home on Leilani Street.
Court documents outlined when police arrived, they found the two victims, with gunshot wounds to both their heads and faces, and nearby lay a loaded 12-gauge shotgun on the living room sofa.
His grandfather said Matsumoto lived with him in the past, and that he had tried to get help his grandson get his life together.
"I used to support him, I still doing, he told me he can't find a job," said Matsumoto.
The judge denied bail, setting a preliminary hearing for next Tuesday.
KITV4 News spoke with the victims' family members. They told us the entire family is simply shocked and devastated.

As per May 31, 2012, Charles-Antoine de Theux, general manager of Villeroy & Boch S.à r.l. Luxembourg will leave the Villeroy & Boch group. The search for a new general manager has already started.
He has started in 1988 as regional export manager in Luxembourg and became Export Director for the Tableware division in 2000. In 2007, he took over the heavy responsibility of general manager of the Luxembourg subsidiary.
Under his management, the tableware export activities have enjoyed exponential growth and worldwide exposure. Villeroy & Boch's products are now sold in over 75 countries around the world, in a leading position for upmarket tableware and home decoration accessories.
Villeroy & Boch is well prepared for the challenges of the future with more than 150 boutiques around the world and an extensive presence in all leading department stores of the globe. The best specialty stores round up the distribution, being the ambassadors of the brand.
In Luxembourg, around 85 people are employed in sales and marketing on the historical site of the Company, Rue de Rollingergrund. The renown products of the famous brand are offered to discerning and often addicted customers in the Factory outlet which has been extended and renovated last year, adding the Brasserie "La Barbotine" and a pottery workshop where craftsmen are perpetuating the tradition of ceramics in Luxembourg, casting and decorating gift items and collectibles.
The newest collections and the regular assortment in first choice can also be found dowtown Luxembourg, 2 Rue du Fossé and in the Shopping center Belle Etoile in Bertrange. Selected retailers around the country also carry the products of the famous brand, whose origins are closely linked with the Grand Duchy, where Pierre-Joseph Boch established his business in 1767.

Republican presidential candidate, former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney speaks to Citadel cadets and supporters during a campaign speech on the Citadel campus in Charleston, S.C., Oct. 7, 2011. He said: "This century must be an American Century."

"The Myth of American Exceptionalism"
Op-Ed, Foreign Policy
November 2011
Author: Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs; Faculty Chair, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
The idea that the United States is uniquely virtuous may be comforting to Americans. Too bad it's not true.
Over the last two centuries, prominent Americans have described the United States as an "empire of liberty," a "shining city on a hill," the "last best hope of Earth," the "leader of the free world," and the "indispensable nation." These enduring tropes explain why all presidential candidates feel compelled to offer ritualistic paeans to America's greatness and why President Barack Obama landed in hot water most recently, from Mitt Romney for saying that while he believed in "American exceptionalism," it was no different from "British exceptionalism," "Greek exceptionalism," or any other country's brand of patriotic chest-thumping.
Most statements of "American exceptionalism" presume that America's values, political system, and history are unique and worthy of universal admiration. They also imply that the United States is both destined and entitled to play a distinct and positive role on the world stage.
The only thing wrong with this self-congratulatory portrait of America's global role is that it is mostly a myth. Although the United States possesses certain unique qualities from high levels of religiosity to a political culture that privileges individual freedom the conduct of U.S. foreign policy has been determined primarily by its relative power and by the inherently competitive nature of international politics. By focusing on their supposedly exceptional qualities, Americans blind themselves to the ways that they are a lot like everyone else.
This unchallenged faith in American exceptionalism makes it harder for Americans to understand why others are less enthusiastic about U.S. dominance, often alarmed by U.S. policies, and frequently irritated by what they see as U.S. hypocrisy, whether the subject is possession of nuclear weapons, conformity with international law, or America's tendency to condemn the conduct of others while ignoring its own failings....

Many companies want their customers to step into their world – that's where a good animator comes in. Your skills give people the chance to explore, experience and learn more about a company. Animation is used in many different industries beyond entertainment and getting a great education from Cogswell College can teach you the skills you need.
Are you curious by nature or been known to take things apart just to see if you can put it back together? Then you might have a knack for mechanical animation. Mechanical animation can be found in almost any industry – from the auto industry creating auto simulations to the small appliance industry providing a demo on how a product works. Creating these things digitally gives consumers life-like simulations and lets them truly experience a product.
Are you more interested in visually wandering through a landscape during the planning and designing phase? Then landscape or architectural animation may be a better fit for you. It used to be that landscaping and architecture renderings were all hand drawn, static images before bringing the project to life. But in recent years with the advances in technology, it makes much more sense to have digital, interactive animations of the environment. Architecture, landscaping and interior design are very different from how people expect to use their animation skills but are still very rewarding careers that you might find far more suited to your tastes. The base skill sets aren't much different; it's how you apply them that drives the career.
Cogswell's Digital Arts and Animation degree program can prepare you for a career in animation and will teach you the skills needed to take your career in any number of different directions. The "craft" of animation plays a major role in our education program and will help you succeed no matter what career path you wish to take.
Find out if a degree in animation from Cogswell is right for you!

JazzSet: The Keys to New Orleans

Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: allen toussaint, coal mine, compositions, duke, extended versions, familiar song, great spirit, hand piano, henry butler, JazzSet, jon cleary, kennedy center, left hand, Listening Post, mardi gras, mark schramm, markos, pianists, rich baritone, storytelling, tunes, warm relationship
JazzSet recorded the "Keys to New Orleans" concert, featuring pianists Jon Cleary, Henry Butler and Allen Toussaint, at the Kennedy Center on November 9. Mark Schramm was our onsite producer, Duke Markos at the recording console. Mark says the music was FANTASTIC, and more.
"Jon Cleary got us off to great start with his fast-moving set of short tunes, a mix of originals and Bayou classics. He plays and sings with great spirit. Infectious!"
"Henry Butler! Man, what an INCREDIBLE talent. He PLAYS the piano, the whole instrument -- what a left hand! He did a couple of his own tunes, and then (touchingly) one of Allen's compositions, 'Workin' in the Coal Mine.' Allen was and is an inspiration for Henry. They have a warm relationship on and off the stand. Henry sings in a deep, rich baritone."
Listen to Henry Butler play "Workin' in the Coal Mine."
"And then there was Allen. What can you say? The man is a legend for a reason. He opened both sets with two of his tunes, 'We are America' and 'Yes We Can,' which seemed appropriate given the setting and timing of this concert. Henry joined Allen for a little four-hand piano on Allen's tune 'Mr. Mardi Gras,' and Allen gave out some mardi gras presents to the audience while Henry played solo. Allen finished both his sets with extended versions of 'Southern Night' -- he painted a lovely picture of growing up in New Orleans, the people, the houses, the streets -- wonderful storytelling, and then the familiar song itself to finish up."
Catch the full set on JazzSet in early 2009! In Surround Sound.
Great Live Moments: Dr. Billy Taylor/Jazzmobile in Newark

Today is the 87th birthday of a jazz legend - Dr. Billy Taylor. Last night, on the eve of this very special day, Dr. T was one of several featured pianists at the 92nd Street Y in the Jazz in July series. He likes the name of that series because he came up with it himself when he helped to found a summer program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Just this month, Taylor quietly stepped down from his Jazz in July, and U Mass expressed gratitude for many summers on its website. Click to read the story.
Also this summer, Taylor is involved in a development right here in our town. Now we have a Brick City branch of Jazzmobile, the teaching organization he helped found in Harlem. Newark Jazzmobile is named for the late bassist Earl May, who first proposed it but did not live to see it happen. Click here for the Jazzmobile schedule. Houston Person plays tonight at Mildred Helms Park in the South Ward! Click and hear Billy Taylor play "A Night in Tunisia" on WBGO's (then) new Steinway, live on the air in the 1980s. Another Great Live Moment from WBGO.
Montreal - Here I Come!

I write this sitting in the press room of the Festival International de JAZZ de Montreal, looking out at a sea of banners announcing JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ and more wonderful JAZZ. Facing me is the image of a special man we lost last year, Oscar Peterson, displayed proudly on the building that houses two of the main stages of this great festival. Tonight, I will walk past Oscar to hear Dee Dee Bridgewater and then two of the greatest living pianists of our day- Hank Jones and Oliver Jones, performing together, with Oscar Peterson looking over all of us.
Its too early- even for this festival- for the music to start from all of the outdoor stages surrounding the Place des Arts, but the soundchecks go on, the crews deliver cases of instruments and cables and speakers, and the excitement builds. The WBGO team will be blogging from "The Montreal Jazz Festival" in the coming days, sharing some of the highlights not only of the festival, but the wonderful city that welcomes us all every year to share in this extraordinary event.
If you are here, let us know. Share your thoughts and experiences. Where are you eating? What are you seeing? Who have you discovered? With so many events going on, we can't possibly bring all of them to those of your reading this. But you can share your experiences. I promise to put up some photos as I go.
I can't sit still anymore- I've got a whole city to explore... First stop: got to buy my tee shirt!

Undergraduate Minor
What Is Health Care Ethics?
The minor in Health Care Ethics offers undergraduate students the opportunity to engage in discussion and examination of the ethical questions that arise in our complex health care system. Our courses ask questions like:
- How should we define "death"?
- Who should decide when to withdraw life-sustaining treatment?
- How should we allocate donated organs?
- What counts as a disease?
Questions and topics are examined from a theoretical perspective, as well as a practical perspective, through the active analysis of specific cases from a variety of health care fields, including medicine, nursing, public health, clinical research and the allied health professions.
What Should I Expect From Courses?
All HCE courses are small, discussion-based courses. Discussions are primarily case-based, meaning you get experience working through the actual challenges and issues faced by health care professionals, patients and families.
Who Should Consider A Health Care Ethics Minor?
A minor in health care ethics is a perfect complement to many majors and career paths, including:
- Pre-Medicine
- Nursing
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Pre-law
- Theology
- Philosophy
- Health Management and Policy
- Public Health
Program Objectives
- To foster students' sensitivity to the moral dimensions of science, health research and health care delivery.
- To provide students the knowledge and methods with which to thoughtfully engage and analyze ethical issues in the health care professions.

Monovision is a method whereby some people can avoid the need for bifocal eyeglasses or contact lenses which usually
arises somewhere between the ages of 40 and 45. The basic principal is quite straightforward – the patient is fit with
two different contact lens strengths – one eye (the dominant eye) is given a lens that gives good focus for distance vision,
and the other eye (the non-dominant eye) is given a lens that gives good vision for near to intermediate ranges.
Monovision doesn't work for everyone. Some people are unable to adapt to using one eye for distance viewing and one
for close viewing. Studies suggest these non-adaptors may constitute approximately 20% of the population. However,
when paired with the right person, it can be a great fit. Monovision is a blend of near and distance vision, and is
ideal for people with an active lifestyle. However, there is a caveat to consider: since it is a compromise, most
people's vision isn't perfectly crisp up close or far away. For this reason, people in certain occupations should
not use monovision. One such example is airline pilots – the national transportation safety board implicated the use
of monovision contact lenses as a possible factor in a commercial airline crash at La Guardia in 1996.
Most people who opt for monovision go through a brief period of adaptation as the brain "learns" to see with the
eye best suited for the task. If you ask your doctor about monovision, after determining which eye is your "dominant eye",
they will likely provide you with a trial pair of contacts that you will wear over the course of a week or so, just to
see if monovision works for you. You may initially incur blurred vision and mild headache, but unless you are a
"non-adaptor" these symptoms shoul fade rapidly. If not, return to your eye-doctor and ask to try one of the great
options in bifocal and multifocal contact lenses.

Married men who cheat on their wives risk more than their marriages.According to Italian researchers, their lives might also be at stake.
Unfaithful men are more likely to suffer deadly heart attacks, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
A team of University of Florence researchers say the claim is based on more than karma. The team compiled and analyzed years of medical literature related to cheating and discovered the correlation.
Marc Gillinov, a heart surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, said he isn't surprised by the results.Gillinov co-wrote the book Heart 411, which looks at the link between stress and heart health. He said a guilty conscience and stress from keeping secrets are a deadly combination that can result in increased heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety. "Stereotypes, whether in medicine or in life in general, tend to have at least a kernel of truth to them," Gillinov said. "It's almost like there's a medical reason for fidelity."
Meeting with a mistress also is physically demanding, the researchers suggest. Cheating men frequently have affairs with younger women and might eat, drink or smoke more to accommodate them.
Because of scanty data, however, the answers aren't concrete, said Mario Maggi and Alessandra Fisher, two of the researchers. It's difficult, they said, to find reliable statistics about cheating because its definitions vary across cultures and it's often stigmatized.
Even so, the review's findings still caught Maggi and Fisher off guard. "Unfaithful men generally have better hormonal milieu and vascular function than faithful men, so we were surprised having an extramarital affair represents an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events," Fisher said in an email. Doctors also have reported that men live longer if they consistently have sex into old age, but these findings suggest that's only the case if they're with the same woman in a familiar place.
"People have this idea that sexual activity is some Olympic-type exertion, but it's generally not super strenuous for most people," Gillinov said. "But sex out of a relationship, cheating, can have its consequences."
But that doesn't mean that cheaters should fear suffering a heart attack during sex, a demise called "sudden coital death," said Martha Gulati, a cardiologist at Ohio State University. She said although it's often portrayed in movies or on television, such events are rare in real life.Still, Gulati said, men should know the risks based on their own health and talk with a physician about concerns.
"To make sure your heart is healthy, it's always about prevention," Gulati said. "Know your risk factors for heart disease, and you have a higher likelihood of being healthy, no matter who you're having sex with."

European Terrorism Breakdown by Ideology
The simple numbers show that separatist terrorism is by far the biggest driver of terrorism in Europe. Spain is at war compared to the rest of the European Union with 58.2% of all terrorism in the union being in Spain. It will be interesting to see if the Basque terrorist group ETA's self-declared cease fire will have any real impact in numbers.
Leftist terrorism is on the rise. According to the report, "Spain, Greece and Italy reported a total of 40 attacks by left-wing and anarchist groups for 2009. This constitutes an increase of 43 % compared to 2008; the number of attacks more than doubled since 2007." The economic downturn's stirring of Leftism combined with the never finished offed remnants of Cold War advanced fronts like in Greece have been the main drivers of Left terrorism.
Rightist terrorism continues at minimal levels being limited to Hungary.
Somewhat surprisingly there has been only one registered Islamic terrorist attack in 2009.
There is a big caveat to give with these numbers though. Hate crimes and other types of lesser terrorism are not counted. I am not sure how the numbers would change but Irish Republican Army drug kingpins, English Defence League street thugs, Greek Reds targeting businessmen, and Islamist urban micronations harassing homosexuals and Jews are all likely to increase the number of violent attacks.

After reading a few posts on geocurrents these facts are less surprising...but still a great surprise.
- Catholicgauze said...
Geocurrents does do a good job. However, I still shocked at just how active separatists are in Spain and France. Those Basque and Corsicans (really?!) mean business.
Interesting, but then again terrorism has deep old, roots in Europe (the public assassination of Duke Ferdinand on a Sarajevo bridge sparked WWI, or so we were taught in school). And this list does not mention state sponsored terrorism, such as the bombing of a Greenpeace ship by French operatives. As Joseph Conrad once wrote, "The terrorist and the policeman are cut from the same cloth." Or something to that effect.
"Islamist urban micronations harassing homosexuals and Jews".
As someone who lived as a Muslim in both London and Paris (and now in New York) I want to point out that a major ignored violence is violence against Muslims. As a child in London I remember having my family have beer bottles thrown at us, and in Paris I was twice attacked by Neo-Nazis, once having them pretend to throw gasoline and set me on fire.
It is also very normal in both London and Paris to have mosque windows broken by neo-nazis or have our cemeteries desecrated. One of the reason you might not hear a lot about these cases is the police don't care or bother to register them when you go to them.
After being jumped and doused with what I thought was gasoline in Montrouge in south Paris I went to a police station to file a complaint. They didn't write anything down and told me there was nothing they could do as the people had probably moved.
Here is a video that shows the face of violence and intimidation that I grew up with:
Hopefully London has changed but when I was a kid in the 80s Guy Fawkes Day was still a day for true English to jump Irish and Catholics...
Also I'm curious whether you'd refer to the Irish of Glasgow as a Catholicist urban micronations. Surely by standards of integration they are a micronation.
- Catholicgauze said...
Muslim Anonymous,
I am shocked to hear your story of being a terrorism victim. I did include in the post that the numbers did not count terrorist monsters like the English Defense League.
The Irish community in Glasglow is Catholic yes but they are not Catholicists because they are not seeking to implement a Catholic moral/civil law in society. Most Muslims in Europe are in no way a threat to society. However, if you go to the "About Me" page you can read my 2007 presentation on Islamic micronations. Those are actual cut-off urban communities where mosques try to implement sharia.
- Eddie B said...
I wish they had written more about single-issue terrorism (the environmental extremists) because that is an accelerating issue not only for the EU but for the US & Canada. The media typically ignores it and its only a matter of time before they get lucky and kill a fair number of people.
Kudos to them also for not lumping them together with left-wingers, since environmental extremism when taken fully has to be considered both, given its hostility to population growth caused by immigration and the views of many of its members that social programs harm the environment by keeping alive those whom nature would have killed already if not for the intervention of society/government.

Democratic Rep. Ben Lujan's first committee appointment will have him work closely with Cannon Air Force Base, a spokesman said Wednesday.
Lujan, who won the Nov. 4 general election for the 3rd Congressional District, was appointed Monday to the Committee on Homeland Security, according to a press release from Lujan's office.
Created following the Sept. 11 attacks, the committee oversees issues including emergency preparedness, border security and intelligence, according to the release.
"The appointment to the Committee on Homeland security is extremely important for Cannon Air Force Base as it continues its special (operations) mission, which is reliant on information sharing and intelligence, two areas under the jurisdiction of the committee," said Lujan spokesman Mark Nicastre. "Congressman Lujan looks forward to meeting with officials at Cannon Air Force Base and members of the community to strengthen the base and continue its role in keeping our country safe."
