Craig Hanoch: We all deal with the question of nihilism
Craig Hanoch lives with his wife and children in Highland Park, where he enjoys woodworking, breadmaking, the occasional kumzitz, and long Shabbos meals with his family and friends. He is writing a book about nihilism and faith. An essay written by Hanoch recently won first place in Moment Magazine's inaugural Elephant in the Room Contest. The topic this year was "Can there be Judaism without belief in God?"
If "[T]o be a Jew is to stand trembling in the embrace of the essential mystery of humanity" how is being a Jew different than being a member of other religions?
Speaking philosophically, the difference between Judaism and other faiths is in some cases a difference of form and in others of first principles and ontology. At this level, Judaism is exemplary (even if not entirely unique), in that rather than deny existential doubt, our faith integrates the problem of nihilism directly into religious practice. For example, as mentioned in the essay in Moment magazine from which the quote in the question is taken, Shabbos and kashrus integrate into practice and faith our radical doubts about the origin and meaning of time and the process of differentiation. These practices exemplify the core Jewish concept of kedushah (sanctity or holiness), which is a manifestation of the separation of God and being, a signpost of the absolute uniqueness of God.
Not surprisingly, the two monotheistic faiths that self-consciously based themselves on Judaism share these same characteristics, integrating into practice or dogma the question of God and being, while locating holiness in God's radical separation from being. Christians situate this dynamic at the center of their faith: the mysterium of the Trinity is a reflection of this potentially nihilistic dilemma. Islam, too, places this inner struggle at the heart of faith and daily practice: Islamic aniconism, for example, honors the special place of humanity and all sentient life as instances of the Creator's separation from being. While there are certainly important differences, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all grounded in a sacred process of transforming nihilism into faith.
However, if we look at ancient idolatrous religions, such as practiced in Egypt, Greece, and Canaan, the essential difference shifts to first principles and ontology, as paganism blurs the distinction between the gods, humankind, and the world of everyday things. The race of nephilim (giants) and anakim (lords) occupying the Promised Land during our time in the desert, and against whom we are commanded to wage holy war, are described in Genesis as the progeny of unions between gods and humans, much as the Greek and Egyptian heroes and kings descended from such mythological relations. The fulfillment of our covenant with God requires the repudiation of the idolatrous, mythological world of demigods and heroes.
However much we may appreciate Homer and other ancient poets, paganism grounds faith and the sacred in a mythology that badly misrepresents the relationship of God, being, and nothingness. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam strive to extricate their adherents from such metaphysical confusion, attempting instead to integrate our struggle with nihilism into practice in ways that affirm God's uniqueness, the true basis of sanctity.
Can there really be Judaism (i.e., long-term Judaism) without belief in God?
Well, this is pretty much Moment's question, notwithstanding the parenthesis, which I suppose I did not answer there to your satisfaction. Not to quibble, but I think any direct response would depend on defining narrowly what we mean by Judaism and what we mean by belief and maybe even what we mean by long-term. If by Judaism we mean the religious observance of the so-called black hat community, then no, such Judaism probably can't survive long without belief in God, even if some continue to observe halakhah, Jewish law (literally, the way), simply because it's a good lifestyle. If we mean the Judaism disrespectfully derided by some as bagel-and-lox Judaism, for which your question seems to assume a complete lack of faith in God (an assumption I reject), then I suppose that these secular Jews will survive until the last few abandon Jewish practice and identity entirely, which would probably take centuries – or at least until the bagels run out.
I suspect, though, that there is a lot more movement between these much-caricatured extremes than we realize. Countless Jews raised in non-traditional homes have wandered over to halakhic Judaism, enriching it immensely. So, too, the Orthodox community seems to provide the larger Jewish world with a steady stream of souls who have abandoned halakhic practice generally but who still celebrate Pesach and light Hanukkah candles. We should bear in mind that this debate raged even in the time of the Sages, which is a sign that Judaism will survive this question. Our faith and people are wiser than the narrow confines of our contemporary approach to such issues.
Needless to say, though, we cannot dismiss entirely the practical consequences of this question by taking refuge in metaphysics or demographics – or even in my own attempt here to avoid the implications of your question. I cannot escape the fact that the halakhah imposes certain burdens and limits on us, at times painfully dividing – or at least separating – us. So, too, I trust that non-traditional and entirely secular Jews recognize that many of the positions they have taken on heartfelt, carefully-considered humanistic grounds have also caused deep and often hurtful divisions in the Jewish world. In these things, I have abiding faith in Judaism's underlying structure, which speaks to the essential despair and joy within us all and has time and again survived these conflicts despite our insistence on casting them as existential threats. And fortunately, almost everyone enjoys the occasional bagel.
If there`s no belief, should there be practice? What kind of practice?
For sure, I can't speak to what others should practice. I recall a remark from a friend many years ago when I was learning to observe halakhah that the tradition understands us better than we do ourselves. I have been observant for over 25 years now, but only in the last five or six have I found a satisfying answer to the basic question of my own faith. What does that say of my earlier practice, that it was a waste or empty? But without it, I never would have had the foundation to understand the place of faith in my life today. So, too, without the prior decades living a secular life, I would not have come to recognize in Judaism's transcendence of nihilism the life-sustaining force of the halakhah I live with today. I suspect I am hardly unusual in this regard.
Pirkei Avos (Chapters of the Fathers) teaches that one mitzvah leads to another. I believe firmly that for each of us, there is a mitzvah that holds the key to our faith. I suppose that I do believe that everyone should practice something – or at least that everyone indeed is practicing something that evinces a deeply personal, transcendental struggle with the question of God and being.
Your "disbelief" still leaves a lot of doubt about God and worrying about God, which is not exactly liberation from God. Can liberated Jews, who don`t even think about God, still be part of the tribe?
Stephen Hawking, in his recent work The Grand Design, argues extensively that the origin of being and time may be found in the universe itself, that being came spontaneously from nothingness. While arguing against the need for a prime mover, his entire œuvre is testimony to the centrality of the question of God not only for science but for all human activity. The recent celebrations regarding the so-called God particle, the Higgs boson, is yet another example of the decisive role of the question of God in science and secular life. I have no doubt, however, that if the Higgs boson is found, science will refocus itself on the more fundamental question of the origin of the Higgs field, returning once again to the question of being and God.
We cannot escape the reach of modern science, which is entirely grounded in this question. From electronically-controlled blenders to chess-playing supercomputers and gamma-ray-gun brain surgery – every benefit we enjoy of modern science testifies to the fundamental problem of being and nothingness and God in our lives. Consciously or not, those you have deemed liberated Jews live in the shadow of the question of God and being every bit as much as I do singing zemiros on Shabbos or laying t'fillin or helping the poor.
So, yes, to think along with you to your question's logical conclusion, we are all part of the tribe. Whether we think about God consciously or not, from the physicists searching for the God particle to the Hasidim chanting niggunim Friday night to the Jew driving to the mall on Shabbos, we are all engaged in the same struggle with nihilism that stands at the foundation of our faith and humanity. We can liberate ourselves from certain halakhic practices or commit ourselves to others, but there is no escaping the all-too-human shackles of the question of God and being.
And speaking about the tribe: can there be Judaism without tribalism?
Judaism's tribalism is a manifestation of the profoundly human struggle with our origins and the central questions of metaphysics, especially ontology. The tribal structure and roots of Judaism are part of a national and personal encounter with being that connects each of us to the origin of our ancestors, who established the foundation of our religious practice, to humankind in the pre-historical and pre-scientific paradise described in the story of the Garden of Eden, and ultimately to the raw material from which God fashioned the universe and separated being from nonbeing.
Every particle of every one of us and everything around us was there at the moment of the first dawn's light, when God illuminated an infinite void – a rather humbling thought, at least for me. Tribalism is an essential part of a collective narrative that connects us to this first moment, to the singularity (to use the modern scientific term) when God created the universe, giving our lives an historical shape and identity that transcends the radical isolation we all feel in the face of a cold, indifferent universe. The tribe shares both the ecstasy and pain of our struggle with nihilism and faith and the question of God and being, and supports across time and place the form and practice of the halakhah, the way, as a resolution of our individual and collective encounter with a universe that is at once all-too-familiar and at the same time infinitely beyond our reach. Not for nothing does Pirkei Avos teach us not to separate ourselves from the community.

Innate Immune Response to HIV
(1/4) > >>
Animals have evolved two overlapping responses to infection, cancers and other threats to the host. One is the much talked about Adaptive Immune Response which includes both antibodies and cells that kill target cells either by direct attack or by engulfing them and destroying them in intracellular reservoirs. Much of the discussion on these boards involve these processes, however an evolutionary older response is one called the innate immune response-which also targets infected cells, and intracellular viral RNA and DNA. The HIV virus has miraculously escaped destruction by these two powerful arms of our immune systems. I have provided a link to HIV and innate immune system. The entire review is free. AbstractThe pathogenesis of HIV infection, and in particular the development of immunodeficiency, remains incompletely understood. Whichever intricate molecular mechanisms are at play between HIV and the host, it is evident that the organism is incapable of restricting and eradicating the invading pathogen. Both innate and adaptive immune responses are raised, but they appear to be insufficient or too late to eliminate the virus. Moreover, the picture is complicated by the fact that the very same cells and responses aimed at eliminating the virus seem to play deleterious roles by driving ongoing immune activation and progressive immunodeficiency. Whereas much knowledge exists on the role of adaptive immunity during HIV infection, it has only recently been appreciated that the innate immune response also plays an important part in HIV pathogenesis. In this review, we present current knowledge on innate immune recognition and activation during HIV infection based on studies in cell culture, non-human primates, and HIV-infected individuals, and discuss the implications for the understanding of HIV immunopathogenesis.http://www.retrovirology.com/content/7/1/54
Another excellent article that put ALL viruses in context to our genome. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22999945Immunity. 2012 Sep 21;37(3):389-98. doi: 10.1016/j.immuni.2012.08.011.Innate immune recognition of HIV-1.Iwasaki A.SourceDepartment of Immunobiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA. firstname.lastname@example.com contrast to the extraordinary body of knowledge gained over the past three decades on the virology, pathogenesis, and immunology of HIV-1 infection, innate sensors that detect HIV-1 had remained elusive until recently. By virtue of integration, retroviridae makes up a substantial portion of our genome. Thus, immune strategies that deal with endogenous retroviruses are, by necessity, those of self-preservation and not of virus elimination. Some of the principles of such strategies may also apply for defense against exogenous retroviruses including HIV-1. Here, I highlight several sensors that have recently been revealed to be capable of recognizing distinct features of HIV-1 infection, while taking into account the host-retrovirus relationship that converges on avoiding pathogenic inflammatory consequences.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.There is another concept in immunology called Tolerance. I think this applies here with respect to our HIV and chronic immune activation. Mine, as you know is in high gear. Rather than try to destroy the HIV we need to find it a quite home to live in our DNA like the other viruses that cohabitate in us. Less virulent, less immuno-stimulatory, ideally less toxic drugs. Taming the beast may be just as effective as trying to destroying it.
This a pretty esoteric article, where I don't expect people to get bogged down on the detail. I post this as yet another example of how our innate immune system and in this instance how it modulates inflammation in the CNS, this time through through a neurotransmitter receptor, Dopamine D2 on astrocytes. Astrocytes harbor HIV in the brain but are not thought to be a big source of HIV replication within the CNS (see my other posts on this subject). They do make life miserable for their surrounding neurons by secreting inflammatory and apoptotic chemical messengers. This receptor, for what ever reason, appears to be downregulated in a number of diseases of the CNS, including Parkinsons and HIV. CRYAB is one form of general group of proteins called chaperones whose job is, as the name would imply, to "take care of" or accompany other proteins as they are internalized (in the case of the this receptor) or make their way through other cellular pathways. They do this by a number of mechanisms such as: prevention of degradation, proper trafficking and recycling. Neuroimmflammation has been the bane of my existence since I first became aware of my symptoms of HIV infection, some 28+ years ago. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v494/n7435/full/nature11748.htmlSuppression of neuroinflammation by astrocytic dopamine D2 receptors via αB-crystallinWei Shao, Shu-zhen Zhang, Mi Tang, Xin-hua Zhang, Zheng Zhou, Yan-qing Yin, Qin-bo Zhou, Yuan-yuan Huang, Ying-jun Liu, Eric Wawrousek, Teng Chen, Sheng-bin Li, Ming Xu, Jiang-ning Zhou, Gang Hu & Jia-wei ZhouAffiliationsContributionsCorresponding authorNature 494, 9094 (07 February 2013) doi:10.1038/nature11748Received 01 August 2011 Accepted 07 November 2012 Published online 16 December 2012Article toolsPDFCitationReprintsRights & permissionsMetricsChronic neuroinflammation is a common feature of the ageing brain and some neurodegenerative disorders. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of innate immunity in the central nervous system remain elusive. Here we show that the astrocytic dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) modulates innate immunity through αB-crystallin (CRYAB), which is known to suppress neuroinflammation1, 2. We demonstrate that knockout mice lacking Drd2 showed remarkable inflammatory response in multiple central nervous system regions and increased the vulnerability of nigral dopaminergic neurons to neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced neurotoxicity3. Astrocytes null for Drd2 became hyper-responsive to immune stimuli with a marked reduction in the level of CRYAB. Preferential ablation of Drd2 in astrocytes robustly activated astrocytes in the substantia nigra. Gain- or loss-of-function studies showed that CRYAB is critical for DRD2-mediated modulation of innate immune response in astrocytes. Furthermore, treatment of wild-type mice with the selective DRD2 agonist quinpirole increased resistance of the nigral dopaminergic neurons to MPTP through partial suppression of inflammation. Our study indicates that astrocytic DRD2 activation normally suppresses neuroinflammation in the central nervous system through a CRYAB-dependent mechanism, and provides a new strategy for targeting the astrocyte-mediated innate immune response in the central nervous system during ageing and disease.
Perhaps deserving of a separate topic, I'll keep these in this thread because the effects of microRNAs are thought to be mediated by aspects of our Innate Immune System. The first abstract deals with a drug that is being used in the treatment of Hep C, a bug that many of us can relate to.

Several viruses encode microRNAs that directly downregulate the expression of factors of the innate immune system, including proteins involved in promoting apoptosis and recruiting effector cells of the immune system. Viruses have also evolved the ability to downregulate or upregulate the expression of specific cellular miRNAs to enhance their replication. This Review provides an overview of the present knowledge of the complex interactions of viruses with the microRNA machinery of cells.
Yet another example of an innate immune response. The cells in our body are programed to self destruct if things go awry or when their jobs are completed. HIV short circuits this process by the binding of it's Nef protein to some of the cells machinery, in this case a key protein in autophagy. This self destructive process is often referred to as programmed cell death or apoptosis. Both the innate and adaptive immune responses can induce damaged or infected cells to undergo this process. In this paper the authors think they have identified the cells own inhibitor of autophagy and in doing so, in cell culture, have used peptides (short stretches of amino acids) that inhibited viral replication and induced apoptosis.http://stke.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/sigtrans;6/263/ec45Sci. Signal., 19 February 2013Vol. 6, Issue 263, p. ec45[DOI: 10.1126/scisignal.2004078]EDITORS' CHOICECell BiologyFighting Disease with AutophagyJohn F. FoleyScience Signaling, AAAS, Washington, DC 20005, USAAutophagy is a degradative process through which cells survive periods of nutrient scarcity or dispose of defective proteins or organelles. The removal of viruses and other pathogens by autophagy is an important aspect of the immune response, and some viruses, including HIV-1, evade elimination by inhibiting autophagy (see commentary by García-Sastre). Noting that the HIV-1 protein Nef binds to and inhibits the autophagy protein beclin 1, Shoji-Kawata et al. used immunoprecipitation assays to identify an 18amino acid residue region of beclin 1 that was required for this physical association. The authors linked this sequence to the protein transduction domain of the HIV-1 protein Tat to generate the cell-permeable peptide Tatbeclin 1. Compared to a Tat-linked scrambled peptide (Tat-scrambled), the Tatbeclin 1 peptide induced autophagy in various cell lines through a canonical mechanism that required components downstream of beclin 1. Biochemical and mass spectrometry analyses revealed that Tatbeclin 1, but not Tat-scrambled, was a binding partner for Golgi-associated plant pathogenesisrelated protein 1 (GAPR-1). Knockdown of GAPR-1 in HeLa cells led to enhanced basal autophagosome formation in the absence of Tatbeclin 1, suggesting that GAPR-1 is an endogenous inhibitor of autophagy. Microscopic analysis showed that endogenous beclin 1 was sequestered to the Golgi by GAPR-1; however, in the presence of the Tatbeclin 1 peptide, beclin 1 redistributed to the cytoplasm. Pretreatment of cells with Tatbeclin 1, but not Tat-scrambled, before infection with various viruses, including HIV-1 and West Nile virus (WNV), led to decreased viral replication. In addition, Tatbeclin 1, but not Tat-scrambled, reduced the amounts of protein aggregates in a cellular model of huntingtin protein accumulation. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that Tatbeclin 1 induced autophagy in mice without toxic effects. Finally, administration of Tatbeclin 1 to mice infected with WNV or chikungunya virus led to decreased viral replication and increased survival. Together, these data identify GAPR-1 as an endogenous inhibitor of autophagy and suggest that peptide-mediated induction of autophagy may have therapeutic benefit in various human diseases.S.

Candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and state superintendent are reporting how much money they've raised so far for the April 2 election.
Three candidates vying for the Supreme Court while two running to lead the state Department of Public Instruction are required to file reports Thursday showing how much they had raised and spent through the end of last year.
Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack reports raising nearly $39,000 last year and having a little over $55,000 cash on hand. Neither of her challengers has filed yet.
Superintendent candidate, Republican state Rep. Don Pridemore, reports raising nearly $62,000 and having nearly $50,000 cash on hand. Most of what he raised came from a $49,000 loan he made to his own campaign.

I'm still using Flex 4 beta 2 in one project, because it's using Degrafa which isn't compatible with changes made to the final Flex 4.0 release. I've been meaning to either make the necessary changes to support just the few classes I'm using in that project but haven't had the time to do so.

Earlier this year, I authored several blog posts showing some of the differences and the upgrade path from moving from Flex 2/3 to Flex 4.

Sure have, using your articles and others we migrated Dedoose fully over to Flex 4, and it has been amazing. Flex 4′s spark components and skinning are astounding. Matthew Fabb – We ported Degrafa to Flex4, http://www.dedoose.com/FileStorate/DevUploads/DefrafaJT4.zip find me if you need help!

We have tried to upgrade to Flex 4 but it is nearly impossible even with compatibility flags. Try running an of the Quietly Scheming components in Flex 4 and you'll see why. Actually at MAX I think I remember Deepa saying that Adobe doesn't recommend upgrading to Flex 4, only new projects should use it.

I'll admit when I woke up Tuesday morning to snow on the ground I sighed. I suppose that's how you can tell you're an adult. Anyway, I spent part of the day searching for people dealing with the snow. I found some folks shoveling driveways, clearing off cars, and making snowmen. But nothing got me out of my mood like meeting Matthew Foster, 2, in Pemberwick Park in Greenwich. You simply cannot be grumpy when looking at his happy face!
Thanks for cheering me up, Matthew!

Still Life with a Poem, 1915

Born in Madrid, Gris settled in Paris, joining the avant-garde circle of his compatriot Picasso and becoming one of the principal exponents of Cubism. Like his fellow Cubists Picasso and Braque, Gris experimented with collage, incorporating bits of wallpaper, fragments of mirror, and pages from books in his paintings from 1914. Although this picture, which dates from the following year, is painted entirely in oils, it imitates a collage in the convincing faux-wood grain of the table and the fictive scrap of paper that appears pinned to the bottom of the composition. This detail betrays Gris's admiration for the seventeenth-century Spanish paintings he would have seen on childhood visits to the Prado. The text it bears, however, is decidedly modern: a poem written by the artist's friend Pierre Reverdy, for whose collection of abstract prose poems Gris painted a set of watercolor illustrations.

For your next haircut, don't get another boring trim. Whether you like your hair short, medium, or long, we have the haircut for you. Try one of these sexy, modern hairstyles and you'll look years younger -- instantly.
Why commit to short or long hair when you can have the best of both worlds? "Shoulder-skimming hair is a great compromise. It's long enough to pull back in a pony but short enough to have some lift and allure," says Gerry Leddy, senior hairstylist at Pierre Michel Salon, in New York City. Whether you want to wear your hair sleek and polished or a little wavy, start with a smoothing cream to keep frizz under control. Then use a medium-barrel brush to blow-dry hair straight or add loose waves. Mist with a light shine spray to give your hair that final glossy finish.
Strike the perfect balance between chaos and control by creating soft, luscious tendrils. A versatile cut with long layers does this by weighing curls down so they don't get too big, says celebrity stylist Sally Hershberger. To tame coarse, tight ringlets or unruly spirals, set dry hair with hot rollers or use a wide-barrel curling iron to loosen the diameter of the natural curl and make it softer, says Gretta Monahan, Dove celebrity stylist. Or section and pin up wet hair, applying a curling cream or gel first, then air-dry. Last, a touch of serum will keep your curls from drying out.
Long, wispy bangs provide instant camouflage for those annoying lines on your forehead (who needs Botox?). "The most flattering low-maintenance fringe is cut diagonally rather than straight across and hits at the bridge of your nose," says Monahan. You'll need to use hot tools to style your bangs, so prep them with heat-protecting gel or cream. When you blow-dry, sweep your bangs from side to side to give them some swing, then mist your brush with hairspray and give your fringe a final pass. Or use a mini flatiron to quickly reshape dry, frizzy bangs.
Extra inches can really drag you down. A flirty, layered crop gives your hair more body (and gives you sexy confidence). "Layers make for softer lines and youthful movement," says Hershberger. Massage a lightweight mousse into your roots, then fluff your hair with a flat brush or your fingers as you dry it. This gives your hair body without creating the bubble effect you get from a round brush, notes Leddy. When hair is dry, apply some texturizing product and twist into piecey sections.

If anyone has any objections, please let us know.------------------From: Larry Finger <email@example.com>commit b6c3f5be7c6ac3375f44de4545c1ffe216b34022 upstream.Commit c7ab5ef9bcd281135c21b4732c9be779585181be entitled "b43: implementshort slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput formy BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handlingportion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were nevercalled. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing thevalue at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to containthe 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial valueof zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the valuein the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increasedperformance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramaticimprovement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for theMMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operatingin the 2.4 GHz band.

Some years back, I once looked up from my cubicle to see a remote control blimp flying over my head. Stranger things have happened and the boss didn't even blink. Work can be stressful anywhere, there's meetings, budget cuts, layoffs, so sometimes when the natives get restless, there are small things designed for either the battling boss or the tactical temp. Not that I would EVER use such things where I work now. Model of decorum. That's me. :-) But IF I were to contemplate, and worked in an environment that would take such antics as stress release and not "fire me now", here are a few out there.
The son of Odin and Nord, the earth goddess, Thor was the strongest of the aesir, the Norse Gods. Thor was portrayed as a large, powerful man with a red beard, a hearty enjoyment of food and drink and eyes of lightning. Despite his ferocious appearance, he was very popular as the protector of gods and humans against evil. A hero for all. Unfortunately, for office warfare, it is not that hero. However it's the next best thing. A monkey with a cape and a mask.
Because nothing says "I'm going to kick your butt" like a cape and a mask. But this isn't just any monkey, there are little pockets in the monkeys hands that you can slip your fingers into. Then pull back his hind legs like that crazed personal trainer tried once with you and stretchhhhhhh. His arms, will extend out to vast lengths while the latent energy of rubber positively trembles with potential. Then let fly! FORE!
>Adding to the experience, the monkey will screech when jolted. Loudly. So if you can get a really strong launch, you'll hear that roar of the undefeated in mid air. Or, if the landing is bad enough, you'll get that scream that says "holy *(#)@(* GRAVITY!. Get both with a skillful launching and it's Chuck Norris, monkey edition.
That cheap little helicopter you bought for 20 bucks broke the first time it met up with Mr. Wall.
Even the most relaxed work environments frown on hurling a 21 inch rubber chicken at work, so come break time, you must settle for 1.5 inch chicks propelled by a rubber band gun. The Chicken Chucker. Getting slapped by someone else's chicken is usually seen as an insult so be ready for counter warfare. Look, rubber bands are just for starters.
You have other options. Get the WowWeeFlyTech Bladestar, (not to be confused with the WowWeeM61A1) and never worry about walls and ceilings again. Made to fly indoors, the Bladestar senses when it's close to a wall, and automatically adjusts course. The same technology allows you to control it simply with your hands, walking it around like Boba Fett transporting Han Solo in carbonite.
Offices are constructed on many levels, both in terms of use of geometric space and structure social levels. This can present difficulties when planning those "we haven't clocked in yet, the night is ours!" raids and attack strategies.
Sure you can go in hard, hitting with rock hard determination. But that didn't work out so well at the LAST budget meeting, so how about going in with sugar and honey. Or at least sugar.
Ammo comes in various types, 9 mm, 45 acp, FAT FREE? The Marshmallow Shooter. But even the best of shooters have their limitations. For such time, there is the Marshmallow Blaster. Firing one regular sized marshmallow (not included) at a time, the Marshmallow Blaster can hit soft targets 40 feet away. Easy to lock and reload I still don't understand why they didn't have this on at least one episode of Top Shots.
Just pump the handle to build up air pressure, then lock and load a marshmallow. The handle of the pump conveniently doubles as a stock for added stabilization. Don't have any large marshmallows but there's a bag of those little ones for hot chocolate? Sugar buckshot. A blast of mini marshmallow makes for a good scatter shot. (avoid the eye area, a blinded opponent may take out the overhead light fixture with his flying monkey).
Add a Marshmallow Blaster to your arsenal and sweet victory is yours.
The Microsonic Hand Grenade. Small and with the decibils of a hand saw, it will wake up the dead or even drown out your neighbor's TMI phone call about their appointment for their colonoscopy.
How does it work?"
A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20: >Hans the Cleric (reading)
"Then did he raise on high the MicroSonic hand grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine loud and annoying coworkers eardrums to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the Cheetoes and burned popcorn and leftover Christmas cookies and caffiene and Little Debbie cakes. Now did the Lord say, "First thou shalt thou set the delay. You can have a delay of 5, 30 or 60 seconds. 5 or 30 or 60 seconds shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be 5 or 30 or 60. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting than thou then proceedeth promptly to five .Then you shall seeth the LED flash briefly. Then, is the time of the throwing. Once the proper number, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou, the Holy Microsonic Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
-- Monty Python Holy Grail - microsonic hand grenade edition.
Nothing like a trebuchet to break the ice (or the bosses window). Actually some of the smaller ones for sale aren't really a trebuchet but a torsion engine, but that doesn't make them any less awesome.
You can't lob a disease ridden corpse over the castle walls like they used to, but it will lob balled up copies of your last "not so good" performance review (does not concentrate on work).
Airzooka is the 'fun gun' that blows a harmless ball of air towards any object, person or anial (though I'd warn aganst zapping your feline with it least they launch a catapult in return). The airball will travel up to twenty feet and beyond. Seemingly from nowhere, you are able to mess up anyone's hair or disrupt the papers on the desk of your favorite type A personality.. Requiring no batteries or electricity, AirZooka operates simply by pulling and releasing a built-in elastic air launcher. And here's the best part: because it shoots air, you'll never run out of ammo (unless you happen to be on the moon!)
Special finds for the home office. Carrying even a toy gun into the workplace isn't smart today, and even the marshmallow blaster will probably get you fired in Illinois (they have NO sense of humor) but there are still some "office warfare toys" that are fun to have in the home office if only for a break from paying utility bills.
Practice your undead shooting skills between balancing the checkbook and scheduling the kids next dental visits! The small plastic zombie assault rifle fires a laser which is detected by the zombie targets . She shoots! She Scores! (That's because I have brains.)
Shoot each zombie as it pops out or a human hostage is devoured, indicated by a red silhouette in an upper window. As you shoot, the Zombies get faster and faster (think caffeinated zombies) so shooting them quickly increases your score which is easy to see with an LED display (requires a boatload of batteries, but worth it).
With the advent of the home office for both the layman and the professional, there's a ready supply of goodies from Walmart and Staples you brought home to equip your space. Clothespins, rubber bands, paperclips, Sporks, you name it. All things you may need to build your miniature arsenal on your lunch break. Why at home?
Well, there's the kids, the dog, the UPS man, all kinds of threats to your work space and that last bag of Fritoes you have squirreled away in your desk. With a little forethought you too can have a home arsenal Detailed, step-by-step instructions for each project are provided, including materials and ammo lists, clear diagrams, and construction tips.
This is also great for teachers. Think of it. You're at your desk and across from you are several ruffians, Lord knows WHAT is in their pockets, eyes sullen, shoulders hunched. They can smell your fear. Oh WHY did you think home schooling was a good idea?
Seriously, some of this stuff would make for the best experiment for them, and ready them for when they complete their schooling and go out into the world, armed only with rubber bands and some paper clips.
Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction is your guidebook to conquering your workplace, even if it's that 4 x 6 corner in the basement between the Little Tykes In Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction, you'll find plans to build 35 devices of office warfare - including catapults, slingshots, minibombs, darts, and combustion shooters. You'll construct a tiny trebuchet from paper clips and a D-cell battery, wrap a penny in a string of paper caps to create a surprisingly impressive explosive, and convert champagne party poppers and pen casings into a three-barreled bazooka. Finally, plans are provided for a top secret concealing book to hide your stash, as well as targets (cardboard critters, big-headed aliens, and zombies) for shooting practice. Never let your home office space go undefended again.
And finally, when the enemy has only one weapon left to him, and it involves closed spaces, chili for lunch, and gas warfare, there's only one thing you can do. Secure, Lob, Drop and Roll.

Have Another Snort, Mr. Ridley.
Sometimes essentially intelligent people get wrapped up in the moment and say things which, upon reflection, they'd most likely think were stupid.
Of course that's not necessarily true – face it, some people never reflect on anything.
But if I read this after I had sobered up written it, I might be a bit ashamed. Then again, I might just have another shot of the Kool Aid:
Every president to hold office has espoused some version of Americanism; the truths that we hold self-evident, even when those truths are not always in evidence. But for all their grand rhetoric and mostly good deeds, none was able to seal the deal on the trifecta of equality, plurality and socioeconomic ascendancy. Obama has. Obama is the more perfect union. He is a house united. Obama is the New Generation and the hot light of a dawn that goes way beyond clever talk of morning in America.
Quite simply, quite plainly, just by virtue his being, Obama is America. The first true American to lead our nation.
George Washington, call your agent.
Hope and change.

That is one of the most brilliant images EVER…
The frightening part is that the writers of such over-the-top nonsense actually believe it.
This is very much in harmony with the view that many on the left have an essentially childlike view of the world. In their view, things can be made perfect, so there's no need to do cost-benefit analysis and settle for the least-worst option in any situation. People can be transcedent beings who have magical powers to heal the world – if only we troglodytes who don't agree with them would wise up and listen.
I'm sure it's very pleasant to live in that world. At least until reality smashes it to pieces, and they have to live with the grim consequences of their actions and choices. Since I've decided that the bulk of humankind is unable to learn from the lessons of history or the mistakes of other people or societies, they'll just have to learn the lessons of reality the hard way, I guess. I wish I didn't have to go along for the ride.
I realize that some libs actually go to church, so I admit to painting with a too-broad brush. However, when I read claptrap like that, I cannot help but think that libs, lacking faith in God, cast about for SOME higher power to take His place. They fundamentally fear the world (it's so unfair!) and need some being to help them make sense of it all and give them a feeling of safety. TAO is their deity of the moment.
Further, libs have the grossly mistaken belief that merely being a lib makes them better people (they Care, you see). So, since TAO is the head lib, he is ipso facto the best person on earth, and hence pretty close to a deity. QED.
If we are to reset the calendar according to Him, I think we can summarily take as fact that He is the Only One True American. Amen.

Members are still Rocking the Ecotrust Sundown Concert Series
Our dedicated followers may remember our series of posts about the Ecotrust Sundown Concert Series last summer; well, even though we aren't sponsoring the series this year our members have still been highly involved. LiFT Label Bobby Bonaparte recaps, "Portland 1% for the Planet members, Ecotrust, Patagonia & LiFT Label, kicked off Sundown at Ecotrust 2012 concert series with a flash mob fashion show and a band try out. When opening band AU finished their set, Bobby Bonaparte and Anthony Villella of LiFT Label took the stage to hold open auditions for local band Typhoon. The crowd was stoked about the dancing and everyone was looking fly the audition turned into a fashion show. Silvania, El Karti and Sticks & Stones joined for an epic fashion show that emphasized local and organic apparel."
It's great to see that our members are continuing to collaborate in the Portland area and are so eager to share their 1% for the Planet commitments with the community! Bobby says, "It was a great time to have the 1% for the Planet members working together the make the show a success!"
Thanks again, Portland members! If you want to see a video of the fashion show you can view it here.

Just about everyone now has a cellphone. In fact, a recent report on U.S. cellphone ownership showed there are more cellphones than people in the U.S.
New product launches become events, with consumers eagerly lining up to purchase the latest iPhone or Android device. Which raises the question – what do you do with your old phone when you update to the latest model?
When you activate your new phone, your old phone is deactivated. While it no longer works as anything more than a paperweight, it contains your sensitive data on its hard drive, so the last thing your want to do is throw it away. Besides, throwing your old phone into a landfill can harm the environment.
Another good reason not to dispose of your phone is it probably retains some residual value, depending on its age, model and condition. There are a growing under of companies that bring together consumers who have old cell phones and companies that want to buy them. One of them is uSell.
Sell with a few clicks
"Let's say a consumer has an iPhone 4 they are no longer using because they upgraded to the iPhone 5," said Dan Brauser, President of uSell. "They could go onto our site and in a few easy clicks search for that device, select the carrier, the specific make and model, and give the condition of the device."
When judging the condition of the device, there are only three choices; it's either "broken," in "good" condition – meaning it has normal wear and tear – or it's in "perfect" condition, meaning it looks and works like it's new.
Once you have entered all the information about your old phone, uSell shops it around on your behalf, acting as a broker.
"Based on the information the consumer provides, we go out and ping our network of buyers and return the price quotes those buyers have offered," Brauser said.
In some cases a device that's in heavy demand might draw 15 or more offers. In addition to the offer price, consumer reviews provide some information about prospective buyers that can help a seller choose one.
Consumer reviews
"We display the offers on a ranked basis that takes into consideration both the reviews and the offer price," Brauser said. "It's possible the offer that shows up at the top in our Best Match system may not be the best price. The offering company with the lower price might have a couple hundred more reviews and have a five star average."
If this sounds a bit like the eBay model, it's close but with a difference. The sellers on uSell just want to sell electronic devices and the buyers – many of whom you will find on eBay – just want electronic devices. Brauser says some of the purchased devices might actually later be sold on eBay.
"A lot of our buyers are eBay power sellers and they're using our platform to actually acquire their inventory," he said.
Once a consumer accepts an offer, the purchaser mails a packing kit with pre-paid postage, so that the consumer can ship the device at no cost and with minimal effort. Once it's received, any remaining data on the phone is wiped and the consumer is paid, either by check or through Paypal.
Replacement phones
Besides being sold on eBay, the used phones are sold to warranty providers, who often fill claims with refurbished models. Many are also sold overseas, where a particular phone might not be available from the manufacturer. The iPhone, for example, isn't available in some Latin American markets.
"In South Florida, if you go into the Apple Store, you're going to find a lot of Latin American tourists who are buying iPhones while on vacation and taking them home, where they aren't available," Brauser said.
Phones are also sold to consumers who will buy a second-hand iPhone or Galaxy S II if it means they don't have to sign up for a new contract.
Even if your phone is broken, it might be worth something because of the materials inside it. For example, some manufacturers use small amounts of gold and silver to produce smartphones – materials that can be extracted and sold or reused.
With consumers buying new cellphones every two years – sometimes even sooner – it's easy to acquire a collection of old smartphones. Sites like uSell are a way to recycle them, maybe picking up a few bucks for your effort.

you can prove why
b) Taken an open cover of call it A. Look at B where B consists of the inverse of the projection map of each open set in A. For instance if then the corresponding open set in B is . This is an open set since it is a product of two open sets in , so we notice B is an open cover of K, a compact set, so it has a finite subcover. Then look at the projections of each of these sets and it is a finite subcover of and thus its compact.
I dunno how to do the fancy script A, so I apologize for the awkward notation of a representing a set and A being a collection of sets...
c) This is the diagonal and it is probably a theorem you have done that is pretty easy to show from definitions that hausdorff iff diagonal is closed so is closed in but its projection is which is open.
If you dont believe me that is closed, just look at and see why it's open.
Hope that helps.

Detection of calicivirus genome in calves using Ni/E3 primers
Abstract number: p1673
Mahzounieh M., Zahraeisalehi T., Moghtadaei Khorasgani E.
Caliciviruses may cause a wide spectrum of disease in animals and are important etiological agent of viral gastroenteritis in humans. Members of the family caliciviridae are small nonenveloped viruses 27 to 35 nm in diameter. They possess a single stranded poly adenylated RNA genome. Caliciviruses have been isolated from mink, dog, cattle and non-human primates. "Norwalk-like viruses" (NLVs) are the most common cause of acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis in humans. Cattle may be a reservoir of NLVs although never bovine NLVs have been found in humans. In this study, we try to detect enteric caliciviruses genome from 50 faecal samples of 6 dairy cattle herds in Shahrekord area using Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays specific for NLVs found in humans. The primers used for PCR amplification were Ni and E3, which amplify a 113-bp product for the detection of both genogroups I and II SRSV RNA in fecal material. Our results showed that nine specimens (18%) were positive. These findings suggest that calicivirus infection is endemic in dairy herds in Shahrekord, Iran and may be have an important role in calf diarrhea.

Eyes on the Street: Yankees Grab Lead in "Subway Series of Bike Parking"
You've gotta hand it to the Yankees. When they decide to do something, they don't go halfway.
That put the Yankees squarely behind the Mets, who had the good sense to stick some bike racks outside CitiField.
In the run-up to opening day 2010, however, the Bombers have staged a furious rally. Starts and Fits paid a visit to the stadium this weekend and snapped these photos. Turns out there's a new vault of covered bicycle parking in one of the Yankees' garages, across the street from the stadium. It's a big improvement over last year's most convenient option: a single M-rack two blocks away.
Starts and Fits estimates that the new racks can comfortably accommodate 160 bicycles.
Okay Fred Wilpon, you're up.

Small Businesses Are Making Hard Choices, CUs Are Making Loans
NEW YORK -- After two weeks of harried scrambling to save the country's financial system, small business owners may be wondering how the outcome will affect them down the road.
According to a Sept. 22 Business Week article, the bright spot is the current financial crisis may not hit the small business sector directly. However, a loss of confidence could have long-term effects.
"Entrepreneurs should be mentally and financially prepared to hunker down in this economy for a couple of years," Sam Thacker, finance and credit expert for AllBusiness.com told the publication. "The downturn that started a year ago could last another two Christmas seasons. I'm hoping it's going to be less time than that, but people are worried."
The Business Week article noted that credit unions are making more business loans than ever before. Bill Cheney, president/CEO of the California CU League, said even though a couple of CUs in his home state have had some difficulties, as a whole the industry is capitalized well above government guidelines. Additionally, more calls are coming in from members asking about deposit insurance, he said.
"They're asking about the availability of their credit lines and about deposit insurance. I encourage members to call if they're concerned; they'll likely find that local institutions are doing much better than the larger ones," Cheney said.
The article pointed to several areas small business owners will have to pay extra attention to going forward. Baby boomers, for instance, will most likely be affected the most by stock market and housing price downturns. Some who were scheduled to retire may now be forced to work longer, Paul Rauseo, managing director of George S. May International, told the publication. This could be an advantage for small companies who might have had to spend more to train less experienced employees, he added.
Because of higher fuel costs, small businesses may also have to raise prices. Rauseo said companies also need to focus more keenly on their balance sheets, their business models and on how much credit they're extending to their customers.
Small businesses should also check to see if their insurance company has any ties to financial institutions, the article noted. A company's broker can provide the insurance carrier's most recent financial statements or check its credit rating with an insurance rating organization.
Despite the credit crunch, experts said venture capitalists and angel investors view the current environment as the best time to find good deals, Business Week said. Some private equity firms have their own subordinated debt funds, so they can offer debt financing to entrepreneurs even when banks and other lenders will not, Joe Trustey, managing director of private equity firm Summit Partners, told the publication.

You've created (or received) a priceless heirloom! Now how do you preserve it with heirloom care for generations to come?
Embroidery care seems simple. Fold it up and lock it in an old cedar chest, right?
Two reasons:
Just incase something does happen, here are some pointers on cleaning.
Felting happens when wool is handled roughly or suddenly heated. Think of a wool sweater that was accidentally washed. The agitators of the washing machine cause the wool to felt, or become dense and shrunken. Therefore, do NOT iron wool or rub it, unless you want the felt effect.
You can iron flat, 100% cotton work from the wrong side. Use a medium setting. Only press on the flat areas, not on the back of your stitching.
For machine embroidery work, especially on quilts, you should block it square and steam heavily without pressing immediately after removing the cloth from the hoop.
First, try brushing the dirt off as much as possible. Next, try water. Be especially careful of colorfastness. Try wetting the fabric and thread on a corner where no one will see.
If you want to try some other stain cleaner, I suggest you also test on a scrap or along an edge. You dont want to end up making the spot bigger!
Depending on the piece, you can simply go over it with a vaccum. If the needlework is small and/or delicate, carefully brush the dust off with your clean fingers. Sometimes a damp cloth is necessary, but as stated above, you need to check for colorfastness.
If you have a genuine antique sampler, silk painting, or something else very old and very valuable, I suggest you contact the American Institute for Conservation for a list of conservators in your area and have it cleaned by an heirloom care expert.
Here you can learn some new skills and share your ideas about your favorite ways to embroider.

We have hundreds of visitors every day from around the world.

Have you ever found yourself saying; "I will buy these shoes only because they are an investment!. I could wear them all the time, in fact I already have a list of 30 outfits they would go perfectly with". Well, this is pretty much the story of my life, although I have to say that there are few pairs that do deserve to be called a "shoe investment", like those black stilettos that you can wear with absolutely everything, or those black boots which are perfect for summer AND winter and that no matter how many NYC blocks you walk -up and down-, you find that your feet are still intact and no pain in sight.
Well, I must admit, I still haven't found a good pair of black stilettos but today, as I was walking out of a meeting, I bumped into an Opening Ceremony store, saw these pair of Alexander Wang boots and found my "investment boot"…They are not the stereotipical pretty black boots, but how Rock n' Roll are they? I think what really captivated me was the metal detail of the heel, they are just SO COOL and I am already thinking of one million ways to style them and I swear its not just an excuse to justify my purchase :P

UW Health requires employees to get flu shots
UW Health is trying to reduce the number of influenza cases caught in hospitals by requiring employees to get flu shots.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports employees will be put on unpaid leave if they don't get vaccinated by December 1. They can submit a religious waiver or medical waiver signed by a doctor. Workers who don't comply after another 45 days could be fired.
The union that represents UW Hospital nurses and therapists, SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin, thinks the mandate goes too far and is asking UW Health to consider an exemption for personal beliefs.
According to the state Department of Health Services, 26 percent of hospitals and 12 percent of nursing homes in Wisconsin had similar mandates last year.

MY VERDICT: Chloë has been on the promo grind all week as she gets ready for the nationwide release of "Kick-Ass 2" on Friday. The 16-year-old hit the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday and headed to a late night talk show stop on Monday before making her way to chat with Conan O'Brien yesterday on his TBS late night show "CONAN", and show off one of her Hit-Girl skills.
For this appearance, Chloë selected a two piece look from the Resort 2014 collection by the British fashion label ERDEM. | continue reading..
MY VERDICT: The laughs kept coming last night on "Conan" when Armie Hammer made a guest appearance to chat with comedian Conan O'Brien about his new film "The Lone Ranger". The 26-year-old actor is currently on a worldwide press tour to promote the latest Disney movie, and was all smiles in his light grey Brunello Cucinelli suit.
Armie never looks anything short of 'dapper', but I was really feeling the laid-back vibe of this suit thanks to the lack of tie and partially unbuttoned white dress shirt. | continue reading..
MY VERDICT: In the midst of award season, Jennifer Lawrence took a break from the red carpet to chat with Conan O'Brien about her new movie "Silver Linings Playbook" and the current nomination whirlwind she's found herself in on the comedian's late night talk show "CONAN".
The 22-year-old actress looked fab in a printed white and violet Cushnie et Ochs cap sleeve crop top and pencil skirt from the downtown chic Pre-Fall 2013 collection. | continue reading..
Between nude gowns, beaded jumpsuits, sophisticated sheath dresses, bright abstract designs and checkered playsuits—it's pretty safe to say that this press tour has seen more variety from Kristen than ever before. For this appearance, the 22-year-old changed it up again by slipping into a tight little colorblock dress; a look that isn't unusual for her.
Kristen wore a sleek Antonio Berardi colorblock body-con dress, | continue reading..
Finally, the 25-year-old beauty put away the neutral dresses and rocked a cool wide-leg black "Luigi" jumpsuit from the vintage label The Reformation; a halterneck retro design with a sexy plunging open back ($285, thereformation.com).
It was so simple, and yet, it took her so far! | continue reading..
The "Pitch Perfect" star selected her dress from the Resort 2013 collection, which featured the fluro color going down the sides in a body-curving illusion and a bright blue stripe down the back to frame the zipper. The colors reminded me of the famous "Candy Buttons" — without the pink. Unless you took her lip color into account, which was a shiny fuchsia. | continue reading..
The 26-year-old petite actress strutted her stuff when she walked out rocking a pretty detachable belted ivory-and-orange "Selby" bubbled skirt dress from Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet ($484, aliceandolivia.com).
It's totally perfect for the season, am I right? | continue reading..
Working yet another monochrome look, Charlize opted for a black Stella McCartney tuxedo with satin arched lapels and a matching contrasting stripe going down the sides of her trousers. | continue reading..
