DairyBusiness Update for June 21, 2013
May dairy cow slaughter slows, but beef cow totals up
USDA estimated 247,700 culled dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in May 2013, down 20,700 from April 2013, and 3,600 less than May 2012. Despite the slowdown, the January-May 2013 total was estimated at 1.347 million head, 52,500 more than the same period in 2012.
While dairy cow slaughter has slowed somewhat, beef cow slaughter has picked up the pace, topping 307,500 head in May, the highest monthly total since November 2012, and bringing the January-May 2013 total to 1.333 million head, about 41,000 more than the same period a year ago.
Flavored milk to drive global fluid growth
According to new research from Tetra Pak, the world's leading food processing and packaging company, global consumption of flavored milk is forecasted to grow by a compound annual rate of 4.1%, for a total of 13% between 2012 and 2015. That's more than double the consumption growth rate of white milk (1.7% annually), and triple that of carbonated soft drinks.
There are many trends driving this growth, including urbanization, the desire for healthy foods, and the desire for indulgence as an escape during tough economic times. The growth in on-the-go in conveniently packaged, ready-to-drink portions directly relates to these trends. Growth will be driven by developing countries, led by China, India, Indonesia and Brazil.

Cold storage inventories higher
May 31 butter stocks totaled 323.2 million lbs., up 4% from April 30, and 24% more than May 2012, according to USDA's Cold Storage report, released June 21. Total cheese stocks, at 1.157 billion lbs., were up 3% from April 2013, and 8% more than May 2012. American cheese, at 717.9 million lbs., was up 3% from April, and 10% more than a year earlier.
Cattle on feed down 3%
Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market in U.S. feedlots with capacity of 1,000 or more head totaled 10.7 million head on June 1, 3% less than a year earlier, according to USDA's Cattle on Feed report, released June 21. May placements totaled 2.05 million head (1.95 million net), down 2% from a year earlier. May fed cattle marketings totaled 1.95 million, down 3%.

Mooney: Current immigration policy a threat to food security
Current immigration policy is threatening access to quality, affordable food in this nation, Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. (DFA) board chair Randy Mooney asserted during a USDA forum on comprehensive immigration reform in Kansas City.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was the keynote speaker at the event. Former Kansas City mayor and current Congressman Emanuel Cleaver also voiced support for immigration policy reform.
"Because of America's farmers, we enjoy abundant, safe and affordable food in this country," Mooney said. "In order to ensure that continues, we need Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. For the dairy industry — an industry where there is no such thing as a day off — there is no viable visa program to provide a legal, stable and knowledgeable workforce that ensures milk and other dairy products get into the dairy case, our lunch programs and more."
Mooney emphasized that the need for qualified workers is an issue bigger than dairy, pointing to specialty crops such as lettuce, strawberries and apples that also require labor that is not desirable to domestic workers. Similarly, a shortage of workers affects crop farmers, directly for their own farms and for farmers who buy their product.

A teenager in Scotland who was told to clean his room last month discovered more than just dirty socks: He found 12 lottery tickets, among them, a winner.
STV in Scotland reported that after his mother nagged him for weeks, Ryan Kitchin, of Penicuik, discovered the stub but didn't know he had picked a lucky combination of five numbers and the bonus ball for the Feb. 8 draw.
"I was about to bin them but at the last minute I got this strange feeling that I should get them checked," Kitchin, 19, told the Telegraph of London.
Instead, he brought the tickets to Tesco, the supermarket store where he works part time.
At work, a colleague checked the numbers and named him a winner -- although Kitchin couldn't tell how much he was about to pocket. A call to the lottery operator Camelot revealed that he won £52,981, or $83,781.
"I had to phone up Camelot and the woman was asking me lots of questions, and I just wanted her to get to the point," he said, according to the Mirror. "When I gave her the last number of the serial code, she said I had won £52,981. I just couldn't believe it."
Kitchin's plans? To pay off his car loan and take his mom on a much-needed vacation.

The site, a passion of former Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, is a losing proposition, Deputy Mayor Tom Crothers says.

Enlarge | Buy This Image
The future of downtown Toledo's Erie Street Market lunged toward uncertainty Tuesday after the city announced it is closing down the facility's two event halls.
Deputy Mayor Tom Crothers said the "Fountain Room" and the "Toledo Events Center" will be closed April 1, leaving only the Libbey Glass outlet open at the site.
An antiques mall that occupied a fourth bay was closed Dec. 31.
Mr. Crothers said the city loses about $250,000 a year operating the market.
Closing the event halls, which have been used for such events as concerts, weddings, and conferences, will help the city save tax dollars by cutting maintenance and utility expenses, he said.
"The revenue we derive from it is in no way sufficient to warrant keeping these two bays open," Mr. Crothers said. "It just doesn't make sense for us when the budget of the city of Toledo is so tight."
The deputy mayor remained mum about a possible future use for the site, but he said city officials are in discussions with several parties.
"We have a number of folks that we've talked to and are interested," he said.
People who had booked events at the market for dates after April 1 have been invited to hold their festivities at other venues in the city.
Kris Berger Long, booking agent for the Erie Street Market event halls, has secured dates at locations including the Park Inn Hotel and The Docks restaurant complex to accommodate the bookings. Twelve people have been sent letters notifying them of the arrangements, Mr. Crothers said.
The closure of the halls drives another nail into the coffin of the long-struggling Erie Street Market operation, a passion of former Mayor Carty Finkbeiner. City officials evicted 23 antiques dealers from the site in December, citing the need to save on expenses at that time.
The lease for Libbey Glass expires in September, and Mr. Crothers said the city is in talks with the company about what to do after that. He said no plans have been made.

NH gambling panel to hear from Mass. officialAP , Associated Press
Oct. 21, 2013 6:26 AM ET
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The director of research and problem gambling for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is scheduled to appear before a New Hampshire panel charged with recommending rules for future casinos.
Mark Vander Linden is scheduled to talk to the New Hampshire Gaming Regulatory Oversight Authority when it meets Thursday in Concord.
The New Hampshire panel must submit draft legislation to lawmakers by Dec. 15. The panel also is reviewing whether the regulations governing existing charity gambling should be revised.
The panel was created after the House killed a casino bill this year that had passed the Senate with strong backing from Gov. Maggie Hassan. The bill rejected in May would have allowed the construction of one casino with 5,000 slot machines and 150 table games.
Hassan hopes the commission will address concerns about the state's ability to regulate a casino that came up last spring when the House killed the Senate bill. The sponsor of the bill plans to file a new bill to be voted on next year.
The panel has been considering whether to recommend a new regulatory agency or beef up staffing and power at the Lottery Commission. Also under discussion is the role the state Racing and Charitable Gaming Commission should have in a revamped regulatory system.
Casino supporters are concerned New Hampshire will lose revenue to Massachusetts, which is in the process of licensing three casinos and one video slots parlor. New Hampshire has no personal income or general sales tax and supporters also believe revenue from a casino could help pay for highway improvements and other state programs.

Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an elective cesarean delivery strategy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women receiving zidovudine therapy to prevent perinatal transmission.
Methods: A decision-analysis model was constructed to compare two delivery strategies in HIV-infected women: usual care and recommendation for elective cesarean delivery. The model followed a hypothetical cohort of 7000 HIV-infected pregnant women in the United States who were receiving zidovudine therapy for 1 year. The third-party payer perspective was taken. Cost of delivery method with and without complications and lifetime medical care cost for pediatric HIV infection were considered. The main outcome measure was cases of perinatal HIV transmission prevented.
Results: Compared with the usual care strategy, the elective cesarean delivery strategy resulted in an additional 3486 cesarean deliveries each year, prevented 142 cases (52.4%) of perinatal HIV transmission, and resulted in incremental overall cost savings to society of $5.3 million per year ($37,284 saved per case of perinatal transmission prevented). With other estimates held constant, the elective cesarean delivery strategy would not be cost saving when the baseline perinatal HIV transmission rates were all reduced by 43.3%.
Conclusions: Elective cesarean delivery in HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine is one management strategy for prevention of perinatal HIV transmission and can be cost saving. However, if other strategies, such as use of combination antiretroviral therapy and/or measurement of viral load, result in at least 50% reduction of the baseline perinatal HIV transmission rates, elective cesarean delivery will not be cost saving.
An important advance in prevention of perinatal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission was the finding by AIDS Clinical Trials Group protocol 076 that administration of zidovudine to women antepartum and intrapartum and to infants postpartum reduced the rate of perinatal transmission from 22.6% to 7.6%.1,2 Additional studies have been performed to determine whether shorter courses of zidovudine3,4 or if another antiretroviral therapy5 would be as effective or more effective in preventing perinatal transmission.
Prospective cohort studies have shown a decreased likelihood of perinatal HIV transmission with elective cesarean delivery6,7 and an additive protective effect with zidovudine therapy.8,9 A recent meta-analysis of observational data of 8500 mother–infant pairs showed that HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine who underwent elective cesarean delivery had a significant reduction in the rate of perinatal transmission from 7.3% to 2.0% compared with other delivery methods.10 These results were consistent with those of a recent European randomized clinical trial in which cesarean delivery in HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine was associated with an insignificant decrease in the risk of perinatal transmission from 4.3% to 0.8% compared with vaginal delivery.11 The ACOG reviewed this body of research and recommended that HIV-infected women, regardless of whether they are taking antiretroviral therapy, be offered elective cesarean delivery.12
The apparent benefits of elective cesarean delivery to reduce perinatal HIV transmission must be weighed against the risk of complications and increased cost of the procedure. Among women without HIV infection, those who undergo cesarean deliveries have increased maternal morbidity and mortality compared with those who have vaginal delivery.13,14 However, elective cesarean delivery is associated with a lower risk of maternal complications than nonelective cesarean delivery.15 Information on the relationship between method of delivery and subsequent maternal morbidity in HIV-infected women is limited but suggests that HIV-infected women who undergo cesarean delivery may be at increased risk for morbidity associated with surgical delivery compared with non–HIV-infected women.16,17
Researchers from the United Kingdom recently evaluated the cost-effectiveness of various strategies, including elective cesarean delivery, to reduce perinatal transmission of HIV.18 However, the analysis was based on different practice styles and costs than those in the United States and was done before publication of more exact estimates of perinatal transmission rates associated with elective cesarean delivery.
We used a decision-analysis model from the third-party payer perspective to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of two delivery strategies to reduce perinatal HIV transmission in the United States: 1) usual care, in which HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine undergo the method of delivery consistent with obstetric indications, and 2) the recommendation that HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine undergo elective cesarean delivery. We conducted threshold analyses to determine when the two strategies would be cost neutral.
We studied a hypothetical cohort of 7000 HIV-infected women in the United States. The size of the cohort was based on an estimate of the number of HIV-infected women giving birth each year in the United States.19 For this hypothetical cohort, we assumed that the HIV-infected women received zidovudine therapy, were in prenatal care by 36 weeks, did not have an obstetric indication or contraindication for delivery by cesarean delivery, and did not breastfeed.
The usual care strategy is shown in Figure 1. Human immunodeficiency virus–infected women receiving zidovudine therapy may undergo one of three different methods of delivery: vaginal delivery (instrumented or noninstrumented), nonelective cesarean delivery (in which labor has occurred or membranes have ruptured), and elective cesarean delivery (before onset of labor or ruptured membranes). Women may or may not experience complications as a result of the method of delivery. Women will give birth to either noninfected or HIV-infected infants.
The elective cesarean delivery strategy is shown in Figure 2. Human immunodeficiency virus–infected women receiving zidovudine therapy will be counseled about the risks and benefits of elective cesarean delivery. Of the women who accept the recommendation, most will undergo elective cesarean delivery at 38 weeks as planned. Some will enter labor or their membranes will rupture before the planned cesarean delivery; these women undergo either nonelective cesarean delivery or vaginal delivery. Women who do not accept the recommendation will undergo the method of delivery consistent with obstetric indications: vaginal delivery, nonelective cesarean delivery, or elective cesarean delivery. Regardless of the delivery method, women may or may not experience complications and give birth to either noninfected or HIV-infected infants.
We conducted the analysis from the third-party payer perspective. We programmed the model on a Microsoft Excel 4.0 spreadsheet (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA).
Probability estimates for the variables in the model were obtained from published reports and are shown in Table 1. The baseline probabilities were varied in sensitivity analyses according to the degree of uncertainty.
Results from a randomized clinical trial11 were used to generate probability estimates of method of delivery in the usual care and elective cesarean delivery strategies. The proportion of HIV-infected women who refused the elective cesarean delivery strategy was estimated from the number of women who refused randomization in a randomized clinical trial.20 Of the women who refused randomization in the clinical trial, more than half did so because they wanted a vaginal delivery.
The complication rate for vaginal deliveries was found to be 3.7% in a retrospective study that included more than 29,000 single vaginal vertex deliveries.21 The complication rates of 24.2% for nonelective cesarean delivery and 4.7% for elective cesarean were obtained from a prospective study of 1300 women who had a cesarean delivery.22 For baseline estimates, we increased the above complication rates three times in accordance with a study showing that HIV-infected women who underwent cesarean delivery had a threefold increase in complications compared with non–HIV-infected women.16
The perinatal transmission rate for HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine therapy ranged from 4.8% to 7.6%.2,23,24 However, these studies did not take into account method of delivery. We used a perinatal transmission rate of 4.3% for vaginal delivery and 0.8% for elective cesarean delivery; these rates were obtained from a randomized clinical trial.11 For the perinatal transmission rate associated with nonelective cesarean delivery, we used 4.3% as the baseline estimate.25 We obtained values for sensitivity analyses from various other studies.8–10
We summarized cost estimates for the variables in the model in Table 2. As appropriate, we used yearly inflation factors derived from the medical consumer price index to convert the published results to 1998 United States dollars and used a discount rate of 5% per year26 to change undiscounted published results to discounted United States dollars.
Baseline estimates for the cost of the delivery procedures with and without complications were obtained from the University Healthsystem Consortium Database.27 The database contains quarterly observed and expected mean costs of Health Care Financing Administration diagnosis-related groups for 93 university hospitals in the United States. Seventy-six university hospitals reported expected mean costs in the year 1998 for diagnosis-related group 370 (cesarean delivery with complications), 371 (cesarean delivery without complications), 372 (vaginal delivery with complications), and 373 (vaginal delivery without complications). Baseline estimates for the cost of the delivery procedures with and without complications were obtained by averaging the expected mean costs reported from the 76 university hospitals for each diagnosis-related group. The lowest and highest expected mean costs were used in sensitivity analyses.
Review of the literature revealed wide variation in estimates of the lifetime medical care cost of pediatric HIV infection. Using the methodology of Havens et al,28 we estimated the lifetime medical care cost to be $335,809. This value was comparable to $312,589 found in another study.29 Using the same yearly data for health care charges,30 various researchers have estimated the lifetime care cost to be between $86,13031,32 and $220,403.33 We chose $86,130 as our baseline estimate because it was the lowest that we could find in the literature and would probably bias the results against the elective cesarean delivery strategy.
We expressed outcomes of the decision analysis model as the absolute number of each delivery method (with and without complications) and the absolute number of noninfected and HIV-infected infants resulting from each strategy. The overall cost of each strategy included the cost of delivery method and the lifetime medical care cost saved from cases of perinatal HIV transmission prevented. The incremental cost of strategy was defined as the difference between the overall cost of strategy incurred in the elective cesarean delivery strategy and those incurred in the usual care strategy. We calculated incremental cost-effectiveness as the added cost of preventing a case of perinatal HIV transmission with the elective cesarean delivery strategy that was not prevented with the usual care strategy. By convention, a negative cost-effectiveness ratio indicates cost savings. We performed a series of univariate sensitivity analyses and one multivariate sensitivity analysis for variables about which uncertainty was greatest. When available, we took the lowest and highest values directly from the range of values reported in the literature or in the database.
Threshold analyses were performed to calculate the values of variables at which the two strategies were cost neutral.
Using baseline estimates, the two strategies were applied to a hypothetical cohort of 7000 HIV-infected pregnant women receiving zidovudine therapy (Table 3). In the usual care strategy, 4554 women had a vaginal delivery without complications, 569 had a vaginal delivery with complications, 1017 had a cesarean delivery without complications, and 860 had a cesarean delivery with complications. The cost associated with the usual care strategy was $21.4 million. In the usual care strategy, 271 infants were infected with HIV. The discounted lifetime cost of medical care for these infants totaled $23.3 million.
In the elective cesarean delivery strategy, 1456 women had a vaginal delivery without complications, 182 had a vaginal delivery with complications, 4352 had a cesarean delivery without complications, and 1011 had a cesarean delivery with complications. The cost associated with the elective cesarean delivery strategy was $28.3 million. In the elective cesarean delivery strategy, 129 infants were infected with HIV. The discounted lifetime cost of medical care for these infants totaled $11 million.
An incremental cost of $7.0 million resulted in 142 cases of perinatal HIV transmission prevented in 1 year. The incremental cost savings from those prevented cases of perinatal HIV transmission was $12.3 million. The incremental overall cost savings would be $5.3 million. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $37,284 saved per case of perinatal transmission prevented.
A series of univariate sensitivity analyses was performed on selected variables (Table 4). The value for a variable was varied while all other variables were maintained at baseline estimates. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (added cost per case of perinatal transmission prevented by elective cesarean delivery strategy) were calculated; all were found to be cost saving. The range of cost savings per additional infection prevented varied from a low of $7800 to a high of $287,000.
Since costs for diagnosis-related groups 370 (cesarean delivery with complications) and 371 (cesarean delivery without complications) did not differentiate between elective and nonelective cesarean deliveries, we performed a multivariate sensitivity analysis in which the cost of nonelective cesarean delivery with and without complications was twice that of the baseline estimate. The result was $58,694 saved per additional infection prevented.
We performed threshold analyses on selected variables to determine when the elective cesarean delivery strategy would fail to be cost saving. Elective cesarean delivery was not cost saving when the perinatal HIV transmission rates associated with vaginal delivery, nonelective cesarean delivery, and elective cesarean delivery were all reduced by 43.3%; the cost of uncomplicated vaginal delivery was less than $556; the cost of uncomplicated cesarean delivery was greater than $5907; or the discounted lifetime cost of medical care for pediatric HIV infection was less than $48,846.
This analysis suggests that the elective cesarean delivery strategy in HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine therapy would both reduce the number of cases of perinatal HIV transmission and be cost saving. The outcomes were robust, and the elective cesarean delivery strategy was cost saving over a wide range of clinical and cost estimates. However, the elective cesarean delivery strategy was not cost saving when the baseline perinatal HIV transmission rates for vaginal delivery of 4.3%, nonelective cesarean delivery of 4.3%, and elective cesarean delivery of 0.8% were all reduced by at least 50%.
The baseline assumption that all HIV-infected women in the United States are receiving zidovudine therapy enabled us to use perinatal HIV transmission rates from peer-reviewed studies. A recent medical record review of HIV-infected women delivering at 66 sites that belonged to Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group or were supported by Ryan White Title IV suggested that only 26% of HIV-infected women received either monotherapy or no therapy. The rest received combination antiretroviral therapy (Tuomala R, Shapiro D, Samelson R, Burchett G, Ciupak J, Mc-Namara H, et al. Antepartum antiretroviral therapy and viral load in 949 HIV-infected women in 1998–1999 [PACTG 367] [abstract]. Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, Miami, FL, 2000). If the hypothetical cohort size in the model were changed to reflect this finding, the elective cesarean delivery strategy would still be cost saving per case of perinatal transmission prevented. However, only 37 cases of perinatal HIV transmission would be prevented, and the incremental overall cost savings would be reduced to $1.4 million.
According to the United States Public Health Service, combination antiretroviral therapy should be offered to HIV-infected pregnant women.34 The applicability of elective cesarean delivery for prevention of perinatal HIV transmission to HIV-infected women receiving combination antiretroviral therapy is unknown. Four groups of investigators reporting on single-site or non-randomized trials have found one case of perinatal transmission among 210 HIV-infected pregnant women receiving combination antiretroviral therapy35 (Beckerman KP, Benson M, Dahud S, Shannon M, Wara D. Control of maternal HIV-1 disease during pregnancy [abstract]. Twelfth World AIDS Conference, Geneva, Switzerland, 1998; Morris A, Zorilla C, Vajaranant M. A review of protease inhibitors use in 89 pregnancies [abstract]. Sixth Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Chicago, IL, 1999; Stek A, Khoury M, Kramer F, Homans J, Rother C, Kovacs A. Maternal and infant outcomes with highly active antiretroviral therapy during pregnancy [abstract]. Sixth Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Chicago, IL, 1999). Analysis of data from the medical record review at 66 sites showed that the perinatal transmission rate of 188 women on combination therapy including a protease inhibitor was 1.1% (confidence interval 0.1, 3.8) (Samelson R, Shapiro D, Tuomala R, Burchett S, Ciupak G, McNamara J, et al. HIV vertical transmission rates according to antiretroviral therapy and viral load during pregnancy in 526 mother-child pairs, 1998–99 [PACTG 367] [abstract]. Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, Miami, FL, 2000). This value approaches the threshold limit found in our study, in which the elective cesarean delivery strategy is not cost saving when baseline rates of perinatal HIV transmission are all reduced by at least 50%.
Elective cesarean delivery may not be equally efficacious in prevention of perinatal transmission among all HIV-infected women receiving therapy. Two recent studies suggested the importance of viral load in perinatal HIV transmission. In a report by Mofenson et al,25 HIV-infected women receiving zidovudine who had undetectable viral loads (less than 500 copies of HIV RNA per mL) at delivery did not transmit HIV to their children, whereas women with detectable viral loads had a transmission rate of 6.1%. Garcia et al36 found that viral loads in HIV-infected pregnant women are directly related to transmission and that no cases of transmission occurred when viral loads were less than 1000 copies of HIV RNA per mL. None of the studies that suggested a benefit of elective cesarean delivery in preventing perinatal HIV transmission analyzed the effect of viral load on this benefit. Whether elective cesarean delivery provides additional benefit in HIV-infected women with viral loads below the limit of detection, who seem to already have very low risk for perinatal HIV transmission, remains to be seen. A recent survey of the Obstetrical Subcommittee of the Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trial Group, which includes 20 obstetricians practicing at largely tertiary centers, revealed that the majority of these physicians would discourage elective cesarean delivery for women with undetectable viral loads (Personal communication). Again, our analysis suggests that if a strategy can reduce the baseline perinatal transmission rates for vaginal delivery of 4.3%, nonelective cesarean delivery of 4.3%, and elective cesarean delivery of 0.8% by at least 50%, the elective cesarean delivery strategy will not be cost saving.
We did not represent in the model the risk of HIV transmission from HIV-infected women to health care providers during delivery. Prospective data suggest that the risk associated with a single percutaneous exposure is less than 0.5%.37 The risk is not greater during cesarean delivery than vaginal delivery.12 However, more health care personnel are present during a cesarean delivery than a vaginal delivery, and more people are therefore at risk for HIV transmission. This slight increase in risk may result in costs that would select against the elective cesarean delivery strategy. Appropriate precautions against skin-penetrating injuries should be taken,38 and postexposure prophylaxis should be offered when injuries occur.39
Elective cesarean delivery is one management strategy for prevention of perinatal HIV transmission. In properly selected cases, elective cesarean delivery is likely to be cost saving per case of perinatal transmission prevented. The cost savings per case of perinatal transmission prevented in the elective cesarean delivery strategy may decrease with successful efforts at increased prenatal identification and appropriate use of combination antiretroviral therapy for control of viral load.

Thinking about the Baroness Greenfield interview, and responses to warnings that computers are affecting our brains, I wonder if we're talking about "brains" when we should be talking about "minds."
By that I mean three things.
First, talking about the impact of digital technologies in terms of cognitive changes allows for the response, "Yes, but your brain changes every time you learn something." For example, a 2009 Seed article criticizing Greenfield and Nicholas Carr included this:
Everything you do changes your brain," says Daphne Bavelier, associate professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Rochester. "When reading was invented, it also made huge changes to the kind of thinking we do and carried changes to the visual system."
This quote if great because it flattens the distinction between cognitive changes that we should worry about, and those that we shouldn't; and it places our current problems in a long history-- in a way that suggests that either we don't need to worry about them because humans will adjust (we survived books and television, after all!), or because they're inevitable (how many preliterate cultures survived their encounters with Greece, Rome, Spain, Britain, etc.?). (Ben Goldacre's criticism of her work is more substantive.)
Second, talking about "brains" versus "minds" suggests that there's no difference between the two, when arguably there is a very significant difference-- one that we can use to our benefit. Put briefly, most of us care about our minds; and it's useful to see the mind as not just contained within the brain-- not just the expression of a bunch of code that's written by neural pathways and synaptic connections-- but includes the senses, the body, and (if you buy Clark and Chalmer's argument in "The Extended Mind"), can include technologies and objects as well. What we really care about are larger mental capabilities-- our ability to pay attention and concentrate when we need to, to be creative, to be resilient-- that are very complex, and probably not things that can be easily located in particular parts of the brain.
Third, you don't need to be a neuroscientist to actively work to change your mind-- to extend your attention, or your capacity for drawing connections between things, or your ability to listen to other people. It undoubtedly helps to have an understanding of how your brain works, but at this stage it's not decisively useful-- by which I mean, it can help make sense of things you want to do to improve your mind or mental abilities, but it probably won't provide a definitive course of action.

Loyd Stanley, CGA, GG, CG
You have heard him on the radio for 40 years…that voice…Loyd Stanley remembers the days when he was the son; now he's the father. Since about 1957, he has devoted his days to giving the highest service and quality possible. He sets a standard for treating every customer like his very best customer. His reputation is well deserved and he appreciates your business.
These days you may find him in the store, but more likely you will hear, "He's golfing," "He's skiing," "He's at the lake," "He's playing in a bridge tournament," ….the list goes on.
Ski trip 648 is on the calendar in January 2015.
Laura Stanley, CGA, GG, CG
Laura entered the family business early, just celebrating her 25th anniversary with Stanley's. She is our in-house designer and remount specialist. Her credentials include an MBA Degree, her Graduate Gemologist degree from the Gemological Institute of America, and the titles of Certified Gemologist and Certified Gemologist Appraiser from the American Gem Society.
Laura was voted Arkansas Retailer of the Year in 2010.
Serving on the American Gem Society International Board of Directors is a most rewarding activity for her and her Guild Committee is setting records. She also spends her time on the national board of Jewelers for Children, and as a member of the Women's Jewelry Association. Locally she is on the board of the BBB of Arkansas, and devotes many weekend days to dog rescue and transport.
Laura loves to travel! She's fortunate to get to do it for work, which is a pleasure. In addition to the US jewelry shows, she has attended the Basel, Switzerland jewelry fair; visited Vicenza, Italy's jewelry show, visited Embee Diamonds of Prince Albert, Canada, and has set her sights on India in the future.
Bob Spector
Bob doesn't work regular hours, but could pop in at any time.
His ability to pair the right gift with the right purchaser is legendary. As are his poker skills.
He works during Christmas and never misses at party at Stanley's.
But unless your timing is just right, you'll never catch him during the work week.
Stephen Loyd Stanley CSA
Stephen, third generation jewelry and watch lover, just keeps finding new fun things to do at work! He's super with watches and engraving, loves to help you shop for the right gift, and sometimes he even buys your scrap gold. Last year he completed his Certified Sales Associate course from the American Gem Society.
He is all about or Lashbrook wedding bands which come in all performance metals, outdoor sports motifs, and even meteorite inserts!
Stephen's newest interest in the AGS Young Titleholder's Committee.
Previously trained as a gunsmith (which he still loves) he has a natural affinity for watches and jewelry detail. He is in the store at all times to help with watch and jewelry questions and repairs.
His dogs, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Bandit, help him all the time. Bandit likes to change watch batteries and Three is a natural at engraving.
And who's got an extra Nascar ticket? He'll meet you there!
DeWayne Hamilton CSA
DeWayne just marked 5 years at Stanley's after a lifetime in retail. He wishes he had found jewelry earlier, but he's making the most of it now! He's completed GIA's Diamonds Diploma, a major achievement. He is a native Arkansan but accidentally lived in Texas for a while. And he is an oil painter and wood-carver.
His artistic skills are used daily, whether drawing a custom design for review, or shaking up a showcase that needs a new look. He loves the variety and challenge of an independent retail jewelry store day to day but loves his grandkids more!
B. J. Burks, GG, CGA
BJ loves color gems, color diamonds, white diamonds, but mostly color. She flew through her studies to gain her GG and CGA titles a decade ago; now she is the person most likely to find an interesting article in a trade magazine and share it with the group. Her weekends are spent in her garden, especially in spring and summer.
She and Oprah have a lot in common – They love fashion and jewelry, and you will never find her slaving over a hot stove. She's happy to enjoy a gourmet meal – just as long as she didn't have to cook it!
Clay Wortham, CG, RJ
Clay has been at Stanley's since 1995. He loves working on fine jewelry and setting diamonds and beautiful gemstones. This year alone, he's set an 11ct, a 6ct, several 5cts and hundreds smaller. His favorite shape is an AGS Ideal cut round brilliant diamond.
He has a 16-year old daughter and a brand new baby boy! He is a hunter and fisherman, and likes to enjoy all outdoor sports in The Natural State. Fortunately he is an awesome gardner, because at Stanley's we love tomatoes!
Estate & Consignment Jewelry
Stanley's has a large, amazing estate and consignment department. Over 20 years ago, Loyd Stanley realized that our clients had a need for an honest and reliable way to liquidate jewelry and coins.

Eye on O.C.: 'Champions of Hope'
Cameras flashed as elegantly dressed men and women posed on the blue carpet. Partygoers flitted around the room holding sparkling blue martinis. An evening that would rival any Hollywood awards show, the Global Genes/RARE Project's second annual "Tribute to Champions of Hope" at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort in Newport Beach honored those who work to fight rare and genetic diseases.
The project is an advocacy group for those with rare and genetic diseases.
"I think it's great for Orange County to be able to host this community. A lot of the philanthropists and patient advocates who have joined us are local and from the community, so that's what makes it really special," said Nicole Boice, founder and president of the organization.
YouTube sensation Cimorelli, a band of sisters, took to the stage to sing and dance. Amy Cimorelli got teary when speaking about her experience with Turner syndrome. Emmy-nominated recording artist Andrew McMahon, known for his work with Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate, also performed.
"I felt connected to the cause and wanted to be a part of it," said McMahon, a leukemia survivor who founded the Dear Jack Foundation to benefit adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer. "All of Orange County is home to me. I'm pretty close to this community and to do something, to be a part of it, especially a charity like this, is amazing."
Actor Carmen Argenziano and actress Eileen Grubba were a few of the notable guests who presented awards; the honorees included Dr. Stephen Groft of the National Institutes of Health's Office of Rare Diseases Research; Rick Guidotti, photographer and founder of Positive Exposure; Josh Sommer, Chordoma Foundation founder and executive director; and Dylan Siegel, children's book author, and his friend, Jonah Pournazarian, who has a rare liver disease.

In an effort to promote uniformity, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) approved standard procedures for securing necessary electrical/building permits for residential (single-family) and commercial PV systems. These procedures are a part of the MAG Building Code Standards. The standards address requirements for the solar installation, plans, diagrams, applicable warnings, and signage. The same standards were adopted by the City of Scottsdale, although many other cities in the Phoenix area are using them as well. The Arizona solar industry was also involved in the development of the procedures. The MAG is a Council of Governments that serves as the regional agency for the metropolitan Phoenix area.
On June 18, 2003, MAG passed permit submission requirements for residential solar domestic water heating systems. This is in addition to the existing standards for residential and commercial PV systems. Local solar installers have reported that being able to refer permitting officials to these MAG standards has made it easier and quicker to get project permits. Both PV and water heating standards are periodically revised.

A triple gear means that a third, smaller inner ring with typically 30 teeth, is being added to the classic two chainrings of the double crankset. Since several years, there is also the compact that aims to unite the benefits of both the triple and double.
In contrast to the normal drives, the compact uses a stitch of 110 mm. This makes it possible to use an inner chainring of 34 teeth, in addition to, e.g., an outer chainring of 50 teeth. The cassette at the back can, for example, consist of 12 to 26 teeth. The smallest gear thus becomes 34x26. However, with the introduction of the 11-speed (11 instead of 10 rings on the back gear) also very small compact gear have become possible.
The 11-speed group is a recent development. The 11-speed group is available both on the double and triple crank, but the triple is, in 2013, only available with Campagnolo, with a maximum (minimum)of 30x29. The 11-speed on a double crank can have 28 back teeth (Dura-Ace) and up to 32 back teeth on the Ultegra GS. On the Ultegra GS, cassettes can go from 11-23 up to 11-32. With an inner crank of up to 34 (smallest), you have a maximum (minimum) gear of 34x32, which should be sufficient for any climb.
Advantages and disadvantages of compact and triple
Whether you choose a triple or compact depends mainly on yourself. According to some "big climbers", a triple is for sissies. Never mind. Since the recent developments, also compact gear have very small gear and personally, we also ride a triple. On 10%+ climbs, they're merely useful. Given you landed on this page, chances are that you are there to use it for similar purposes.
In addition to knowing the maximum incline level of the harder climbs, information you can find on climbbybike, some insight in your power output and pedaling cadence (rpm) can help you to determine your choice for a compact or triple. The smallest possible triple resistance (30x30) makes your wheel rotate exactly in line with your crank, so, per rotation, you cycle the distance of the circumference of your wheel, e.g. 2100 mm for a 20-622 wheel. With the typical smallest compact resistance (34x28) your distance per rotation is 2,550 meter or 21% more than on a 30x30. With the Ultegra GS gear of 34x32 however, you come very close to the triple gear. Given your own maximum power, you will logically have a lower cadance with a compact.
Disadvantages of the triple: more weight, less precise derailleur (long cage), bigger distance between pedals
Advantages of the triple: smaller gear, more options in the smallest gears, straighter chain line
Disadvantages of the compact: possible (in)compatibility with derailleurs and shifters, less power transfer and increased wear by often inclined catenary
Advantages of the compact: lighter, more precise derailleur

Falling in love can be wonderful!
The birds are tjirping, the sky is bluer than ever...
Butterflies in your stomach and drawing hearts on every piece of paper you may find...
You feel on top of the world, wishing that this feeling lasts forever!
You might even feel a little... Crazy.
What are the physical reactions when falling in love? Love explained.
A faster blood flow,
Heart rate goes up,
Glow of happiness and sexappeal,
Hormonal changes,
Compare it to a state of mental illness,
Like a drug.. addictive, obsessive
Emotional pressure
Dopamine is said to be the principle chemical involved in giving us strong urges like sexual attraction over time. Romantic love is not just an emotion--but rather, a whole motivational system with a reward drive to get you to stick with that person. While this is going on, we have a decrease in serotonin, which if elevated, leads to feelings of obsession or something like an addiction...
The things it will make you do
Being in love can make you act crazy, or do things out of your comfort zone to either impress the opposite sex or to try to make them happy.
It can make you stand in the rain with your freshly blow dried relaxed hair, as a black woman, like Nina in the movie Love Jones..
It can make make you forget about everything else, because all your thoughts are with your love. It can make you put a tattoo of your boo's name or talk on the phone for hours without caring for the bill..
These were some 'cute' examples of being crazy in love..
But love can also make you do extreme things.
It can bring things to the surface you never knew you had..
Or make you do stuff you never thought you would ever do..
Take Romeo and Juliet for instance, they literally died for the cause of their love. Their love conquered all the nay-sayers and critics, going against the ones they truely loved, their families...
Being in love, is comparent to being on drugs (this is pshycological proven), you become an addict to the 'lovehigh' of being with that person.
When your heart gets broken, you will feel tremendous emotional pain and suffering.
This can happen through death, divorce, breakup, physical separation, betrayal, or romantic rejection.
Especially people who are very possesive, sensitive or jealous can snap dangerously after a broken heart.
The love they have for a person can go so deep for various reasons, that they lose touch of reality.
The difference between a psycho and a P.S.Y.C.H.O
I know that Chris Rock said: "If you haven't contemplated killing someone, you ain't been in love!" in a lot of ways that is so true. But hence the word: CONTEMPLATE.
When the term 'psycho' is used with people in the connection of love, it's actually nothing more than a person that doesn't know how to deal with their emotions.
They took falling in love too far from the beginning, resulting in an unhealthy imbalance in the brain.
They will probably go beyond normal length to either hurt the one that hurt them after a breakup, or force their love and affection one someone because they can't let go.
They can't help it, and thats kind of sad in a way..
These are the type of phycho's that will eventually get over the hurt after they portrayed their anger and disappointment a couple of times.
Unfortunately more and more people take EXTREME measures when it comes to love or heartbreak.
I made a top 5 of stories that will give you an example of Dangerous Love in Mega Psycho form..
May 24, 2012
A Tacony, Philadelphia woman has been charged with two counts of murder after she killed her 18-month-old twins, Adam and Eve, in an angry rage over her husband's alleged affair with one of her family members.
November 12, 2009
A ZIMBABWEAN man was fighting for his life this week after being scalded with hot cooking oil by his girlfriend in Luton, England.
Friends of the couple said trouble started late on Sunday when Chitamba came home and told Chikanya that he wanted to end the relationship because of her alleged infidelity.
April 20 2012 (Nigeria)
A washerman, Henry Nnamdi, has allegedly killed his one-year-old son, Chukwuebuka, in order to spite his wife, whom he accused of having an extra-marital affair.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Henry also used a hot pressing iron to burn his wife, Mercy, and stabbed her repeatedly in order to force her to confess to the allegation.
So how do you prevent such endings?
Be clear in your expectations of that person, and make sure you can meet theirs.
Make sure you are dealing with a sane person, do some research with her/his closest friends/family.
Google the person before getting involved.
When deciding to end the relationship, try to make it as much of a mutal decision as possible.
Always treat eachother with respect, even after a nasty divorce or breakup.
Never neglect the little flags at the beginning.
Listen to your intuition.

'Shop local' gets statewide push
MONTPELIER — Representatives of Vermont retailers joined with local, state and federal elected officials Monday to promote Vermont shopping as the biggest weeks in retail quickly approach.
The coordinated message was simple and very clear: Buy Vermont products from local retailers.
Vermont Retail Association Executive Director Tasha Wallis said most of Vermont's small retailers are people from the local communities they serve.
"They're our friends, they're our neighbors, sometimes they're our children's coaches, sometimes they hire our offspring to work in the summer months," she said.
But local retailers are facing more and more challenges in today's market.
Wallis said online shopping and the spread of smartphones and tablets has hurt sales.
"This year, now more than ever, consumers armed with smart phones are shopping the Internet, making it more and more challenging for Vermont's retailers. So, we're really all just here today to remind everybody of the wonderful, fascinating treasure trove of Vermont products and opportunities for shopping around the state," she said.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter Welch also noted the challenges small retailers are facing as shoppers increasingly use local retail stores "basically as a showroom and then they buy online."
Money spent in local communities tends to stay there, Welch said. And the money will support the places that help build stronger communities.
"The glue that holds communities together is small retail. It's folks who are totally invested in the well-being of where they live, who provide employment to local people including young people," he said. "You don't have a community without a vibrant downtown and you don't have a vibrant downtown without people shopping in those downtowns."
Gov. Peter Shumlin, also noted the importance of local retailers and Vermont's downtowns, urging Vermonters and visitors to do their holiday shopping there.
"As we go into the shopping season we all know that the greatest strength in Vermont is our downtowns, our communities, the fact that Vermonters take care of each other, reach out to each other and develop friendships because we are in our downtowns actually knowing our neighbors and reaching out to them," he said. "That's what downtowns are all about and that's what holidays are all about."
The governor said there are "extraordinary things" going on in retail operations across the state. Vermont is seeing "a rebirth in our downtowns," he said, and Vermonters are understanding that shopping locally helps to "create jobs and keep our downtowns strong."
"I would urge Vermonters today, as we go into the holiday shopping season, to buy Vermont. Buy Vermont. If you spend your money in Vermont it keeps money in Vermont, it creates jobs, economic opportunities and it keeps our downtowns strong."
Shumlin recently hailed the opening of a new Walmart store in St. Albans. Large retailers with discount pricing are often blamed as the primary reason small, local stores close.
Asked Monday about the seemingly disparate messages between the Walmart opening and Monday's event, Shumlin said he is simply urging people to shop anywhere in the state.
"We're saying shop in Vermont. That's really important," Shumlin said. "I'm not suggesting that we pick one store over another, I'm saying by shopping in Vermont we keep our downtowns strong, we keep our stores strong."
"I'm not going to presume to ask Vermonters where to shop in Vermont. I just hope they'll shop Vermont," he added.
Shumlin said local retailers are facing more challenges from online shopping than from large retailers.
"When you buy online, you're not supporting a local Vermont retailer," he said.
Meanwhile, Montpelier Mayor John Hollar urged shoppers to step away from online retailers and visit downtowns across the state.
"It's a great way to spend the day, so I would encourage people to push away from the computer to spend time in your downtowns. They don't happen by accident. They're great places to be," he said.

Start-up launches easy-to-use mobile phone
If you have ever tried to explain to an elderly relative how to use your mobile phone, you will understand why Mobi-Click is generating excitement with its new range of phones that work using just three buttons, reports the NZZ.
"The product line emerging from the (Swiss) canton Zug-based start-up primarily targets older people, the blind and children.
To make a call or set off an alarm, the user has to press just one button to connect to a pre-programmed telephone number, for instance emergency services.
The manufacturer expects the new technology to be used for emergency one-touch calling systems, as a baby-monitoring phone and as an alarm system.
Another thing making the device attractive is its low cost. It's probably the cheapest alarm system on the market, including fixed line systems, says Peter Keller, head of sales and marketing."

Once upon a time, when the Irish emigrated from Ireland and descended upon London, The Crown was known as 'the' Irish pub in North London. The place became the most popular drinking hole for the Irishman and the high number of skilled labourers used The Crown as their meeting place in the mornings to be taken to work. It was even cited by The Dubliner's in their song 'McAlpine's...more
Apparently this is an Irish pub? Went here early on a saturday night. Early like 5:30ish. Just went in for a quick pint for a friends birthday. The place seems small but if you go around the corner there's another room. It was a group of us girls and all these working, possibly non working men, and no one else.

no offence but the crown never fails to suprise me, not sure if good or bad.

Savage Law: She Say May be Hearsay, But Lend Her an Ear Anyway
by Mel Practice
Dear Mel:
My client is the plaintiff in a sexual harassment case. The evidence is clear that the corporate employer knew its top manager was a risk to vulnerable young women. Female workers told us of his habit of persistent groping. Some employees told him where to go, but others were too embarrassed. We knew several women had been harassed under similar circumstances and wanted to testify; some refused to touch the subject, and others were long gone.
A former co-worker has called our client out of the blue and is commiserating about atrocious sexual behavior by the same manager. She is giving details about how she suffered from his advances at work. The co-worker is a minority shareholder of the employer (owns less than 3 percent) who is no longer active and was never in management. She is going through a divorce from a shareholder who owns about 20 percent. Her estranged husband was a close friend of the perpetrator.
The corporation has counsel. The woman who has been calling the plaintiff is not a party and is not represented. Can I speak directly to the former co-worker? Is it OK for the client to encourage more calls?
~Lucky Learner, Esq.
Dear Mr. Learner:
Maybe you're fresh out of law school, but the first problem is that your client's version of the other victim's comments probably will be hearsay. But, I can hear you arguing one of the 10,787 exceptions to the hearsay rule: "It goes to show opportunity, scheme, plan, design, intent, motive and/or notice." Even then, aren't you going to have some major credibility issues? Rookie, you better take a deposition, although you can probably get by with a witness interview first. As long as her recollection is primarily factual, it might not involve ethical concerns.
The key point here is not to interfere with the opposing party's right and need for counsel and their attorney-client relationship. Hey, I need an attorney, you need an attorney, the zebra in the zoo needs an attorney, we all need attorneys, you know? Commentaries have urged going through opposing counsel first when a witness has authority to commit the organization to a position over the subject of matter of the representation. See Ethics Committee Formal Opinion No. 69 (5/18/1985). That should not apply to a "bystander" witness who is a former or current employee. (Now there's an interesting concept — the "bystander employee." Yeah, I've worked with a few of those slackers). In other words, is the witness within the scope of the other party's representation? Owning 3 percent does not appear to make the witness a "party" under RPC 4.2.
The fact issue might be the former employee's "notice" to management or ownership over the perpetrator's prior outrageous conduct. Is that an act that could be imputed to the organization for the purpose of civil liability? It probably constitutes a prior fact that might be used in
At this point, I really don't care if the other woman's testimony is useful, relevant, admissible or even worth buying her a beer. If you don't at least talk to this woman, you're on the verge of committing malpractice anyway. On second thought, it might not be that big of an oversight to not talk to her, but it sure would be lazy, sloppy and dumb. Those are not the Marx Brothers, but they are a sure way to get into trouble.

Confidence down for September
October 25, 2005-- Home Textiles Today,
NEW YORK -- Hit by hurricanes, gas prices and a softer job market, consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in September for a second straight month, declining 2.9 percent to a reading of 85, down from 87.5 in September.
The key barometer of consumer sentiment -- and future consumer spending -- has now fallen 19.4 percent during the past two months, from a 13-month high of 105.5 set in August, to its lowest level in more than a year.
The Conference Board said the plunging numbers could indicate that consumers will curtail their Christmas shopping, putting retailer profits under pressure during the holiday season.

|Lunaroid Draconians & the Moon from 20,000 BC to present; by G.H.REES -- A SEMI-INVISIBLE ULTRA POWERFUL HELLENIC ANDROMEDIAN PORTAL

Icke is right in some things in his new moon research but under the false guidance of his Rabbis, Mediums-Psychics and voices in his head (aka: Lunar influence) he continues to conceal the truth and the whole picture. So here it is in brief:
Moon is a gigantic ex-physical-planetary body converted (terraformed) into a hybrid hollowed space semi-artificial body capable of travelling into interstellar space.
Moon origins is the constellations of Draco and Bo—tes a coalition Draconian rebellious constellation.
(See: scotish astronomer Duncan Lunan research, Russian Academics Vasin & Scherbakov, NASA/JPL leaked statements, G.H.REES research, Raymond Drake, Don Wilson, etc)
Moon is governed by a race of Reptilians from the Draco constellation. The reptilians are dominating the Moon with extremely high technology and beings in two parallel space dimensions separated by light barriers (c, and c*10^6). Our current 1st visible Dimension of matter rarification (3rd Real) and the 2nd Dimension (4th Real) invisible to our sensors. The 2nd Dimensions of Reptilian Beings rules the 1st and can see all that happens in the 1st. The 1st cannot directly see what happens in the 2nd but has technological capability to communicate with the 2nd.
The Reptilians are a mutineers spacebandits faction which acts as a cancer against the Universal Organism. They made a rebellion million years ago against the Galactic Order and the Galactic Government - Federation. They wander around the Universe stealing planetary raw - valuable materials, by using the original planetary settlers as slaves aka:"Lord's servants" who bring out the raw materials to the surface. After that, they steal them, genocide the settlers, destroy the planets and leave for another solar system in order to repeat the mega-crimes and spread the cancer. They create religions and after that masonic-matrix-mind-control NWO pyramidal beehive systems in order to manipulate the "Lord's servants". In case the system is occupied by populations that are faithful to the galactic government (aka, the white andromedian race) they usually create through genetic engineering serpent DNA hybrid humans that look like the Draconian Chinese that live today in our planet. Then they use the Draconian Chinese serpent-saurian looking hybrids in order to assimilate and essentially genocide and overrun the enemy unfaithful to them population.
Moon came to our solar system around 20.000 B.C. when there was a legal Andromedian Government in our system, the Uranides or Varuna Dynasty (See: Hindu Scripts). Uranides means "People that came from the Sky" = Skylings. The Uranides rulers dynasty consists mainly of Zeus (Diaus Pitar in Sanskrit) and Saturn-Cronus factions. By the time moon entered in our solar system there was already a civil space war between Zeus-Cronus (See ancient Hellenic myths, Hesiods' theogony, Titans clash etc). Zeus made a temporary win against the mutineer Cronus-Saturn-Savaoth and closed the rebelious Cronians to prison-like places, like the Underground Tartars.
Moon at this time (20.000 B.C.) made a first attempt to enter Earth's orbit, that failed. It made a collision course towards Earth which was intercepted by the Andromedians Uranides.
The second attempt was successful and Moon entered Earth's orbit around 11.436 B.C. (See G.H.REES and Raymond Drake research, Tiahuanaco Bolivia encarvings, etc)
The Earth then was already occupied by white race colonizers from the Andromeda constellation and by the local indigenous Black Sirian Race. The white race Hellenes civilizers from Andromeda came to Earth through the star-portal of Sirius(Hyperion=Supersun) as a scientific mission in order to teach and civilize the indigenous Black Race about the Ecological Harmony and Universal Physical Laws. (See the Chronicles of the Dogon Tribe in Africa)
The Reptilians Draconian Moon having as high commanders: Asmodai Metatron and El Shaddai (See: Bible) or Sendai - Jendai (See: Star Wars) - or Judas, asked from Zeus permission to disembark its populations to Earth.
Hospitable Zeus who was outnumbered and not at this time fully aware of the aggressive-piratical intentions of the moon, allowed them to do so, under the terms of keeping population analogy 1:108 and keeping the then present cultural trend and language of the planet (archetype Hellenic).
The Reptilians from the Moon then disembarked to Atlantis the first Chinese hybrid settlers capable of living in Earth and genetically designed to withstand against attacks from earthborn viruses.
The Chinese under the commands of the first Serpent Priesthoods under the guidance of the Moon quickly degenarated and turned the Whites Pelasgians Hellenes of Atlantis to a civil world war against their racial brothers Pelasgians of Europe and the Prehistoric Athenian Empire. (See: Plato Timaeus - Critias). In this catastrophic global civil war were used nuclear weapons of the era of special effect, and meteorological weapons which were discribed in the ancient Hindu texts of Vedas & Mahabarata.
The White Atlanteans instigated by the Chinese of Atlantis (See books of Raymond Drake) successfully invaded Europe, but the Athenians managed to overrun them and were ready to drop them back into the Atlantic Ocean with a massive counter-attack.
Metatron El Sendai Jendai Reptilians overlords were now terrified because the Athenians under the guidance of Zeus were now ready to massively counterattack and completely eliminate the Chinese of Atlantis with the charge of the devious enorchestrating of the Pelasgian civil global war.
And thus along with the terran global war a parallel space war begun between Moon(Selene) and Zeus HQ's.
Moon then used its gravital canons to put gravitational pressure on the lithospheric plaques of Earth and managed to sink both Atlantis and a little later sunk and Aegis (today Mediterranean and Aegean Seas) and put to death in the depths of the sea millions of white race Atlanteans and Athenians. The Pelasgian high technology golden age Natural Harmony Civilization quickly converted back to "stone-age"
At the same time the Moon and the Serpent Priesthoods notified the Chinese of Atlantis who left on time from the Sinking continent and were rescued to Esperia (Today's America)
Zeus ships (Vimanas, mainly of scientific tasks) at this time were outnumbered against the superior in size and numbers aggressive piratical Lunar Starfleet. The Reptilian Lunar Draconian Starfleet consists mainly of:
a) The flagship Moon ("Death-Star" hybrid hollowed titanium-zirconium body)
b) The flagship Lilith (dark glossy Metallic War-planet) which around 9.600 B.C at the time of the sinking of Atlantis & Aegis was moved and stationed behind the Moon at a selenosynchronous orbit.
c) Around 118 additional much smaller titanium ships
To make things worse some mutineers Cronians managed to escape from Tartars and quickly made an alliance with the Reptilians of the Moon against the Uranides of Zeus. After that in the big monotheistic Religions El Sendai was referred along with Cronus-Saturn-Savaoth as allegedly a common "Universal God" (Draconian mega-fraud and religious manipulation) as Lord Yahweh(Sendai in mongolhebrew or Jendai-Jade in Chinese) and Lord Savaoth(Saturn)
After that time Earth came to the dominance-rule of the Reptilians and their allies the Andromedian Traitors mutineers of Saturn (Cronus-Savaoth)
Zeus ships in order to avoid a general Earth's catastrophe due to the space war, essentially tactically withdrawed 1/3rd to the 4 external planets (Saturn-Uranus-Neptune-Pluto), 1/3rd to the Inner Earth cavity (from the North Pole opening), and the rest 1/3rd escaped from our solar system in order to notify the local Galactic Government in Andromeda Constellation about the crimes and the invasion of the Reptilian Moon, and ask for reinforcements.

The Chinese are a very distinctive race in more ways than one & generally don't seem very compatable with other races, (as in blending in, they are far more competitive in nature) whether that's from their own indoctrinated conditioning, just like everyone else, we've all had our 'special' dose of it.
They have had very enlightened periods in history philosophically, medicinally etc....
I'm not comfortable with the concept of them becoming a super power, which world events seem to be pointing towards, but I'm not comfortable with singeling them out as an enemy race either, I've read a similar theory about the black race & also the Nordics.
Maybe some races do have more rep genes? but if this concept became accepted public knowledge it would be the ammunition some people need to consequently generate mistrust & low energy causing a repeat in histories bloodshed.
Just recently I started to feel sick reading the aggression on some 'friends' posts on facebook, these were mostly Europeans & they were constantly coming up with news headlines/horror stories of their targeted latest pet hate race, & I could see this as a seed that's growing into something bigger, especially now that life is getting tougher, money, food & job competing, basically it's a mess. I couldn't help but wonder how many families are suffering silently from being target of hate groups & treated like pariah.
The above article may be true but how do you tell a Chinese person that he's basically a hardwired potential Drac?
this whole issue is exasbarating

First off, I never would. I have a 1/2 Chinese niece who's marrying the most wonderful American Chinese gentleman. We should love all people but I do think it is ok to hate corporations and governments, if you get my drift. I've been quoting from a website that is supposed to be communicated from a galactic portal, to try to wrap my mind around what might really be going on -- as there could be ancient, ancient intergalactic race wars that could be the root of the problems we face here on earth. I don't like the fact that China is like one huge corporation, essentially enslaving its population to overtake the world economically. Have you heard about Idaho giving China a 50 square mile free trade zone just south of Boise? We live in such a "politically correct" culture that we close our eyes to our detriment. So what would you do if indeed you discover a people who are bent on conquering you? Close you eyes, ears and mouth?
Hey, watch this for a good laugh or for some, maybe upset them:
Canadian yelling at Chinese train ticket agency for requiring his passport
He sounds more like an American.

LAS VEGAS MARKET: Modus, Surmelis team up for bedroom line
September 16, 2009-- Furniture Today,
Designer and HGTV host Angelo Surmelis, visits with Jon Lannertone of Modus, which is offering a bedroom group by Surmelis.
Surmelis, the host of the makeover show "Rate My Space," was in the Modus space in World Market Center B-662 to get a look at the finished products in Marlow, the line of bedroom furniture he designed for the company.
"The pricing of the items reflects Angelo's mission of being able to provide the consumer with affordable luxury," said Jon Lannertone, national sales manager for Modus. For example, the bed is designed to retail from $699 to $799 and the dressers are in that range as well.
Marlow includes two bedside tables, a leather platform bed, a mirror and chest of drawers. Surmelis said his concept was to create a collection that blends Art Deco and old Hollywood. "To achieve that look, we went with a blend of ebony tops and warm, cinnamon cherry tone bases, tapered legs and for a true custom look, we used square, jewel-like hardware."
"The pricing of the items are right in our power zone," Lannertone added. "And coupled with the fact that all the majors that have been in really liked it, leads me to believe that this is going to be the beginning of great things to come."
Surmelis said he plans to support the launch with in-store appearances down the road.
"The thing I love the most about being with consumers is that they are not afraid to really tell you what they like and what they don't like. That's incredibly valuable information for a designer because you simply can't successfully design in a vacuum," he said.
Lannertone, who said Modus will support the launch with signage, promotional materials and in-store events, said two additional lines are in the works with Surmelis.
