|More information:
This volume presents Professor Cohen's original interpretation of the revolution that marked the beginnings of modern science and set Newtonian science as the model for the highest level of achievement in other branches of science. It shows that Newton developed a special kind of relation between abstract mathematical constructs and the physical systems that we observe in the world around us by means of experiment and critical observation. The heart of the radical Newtonian style is the construction on the mind of a mathematical system that has some features in common with the physical world; this system was then modified when the deductions and conclusions drawn from it are tested against the physical universe. Using this system Newton was able to make his revolutionary innovations in celestial mechanics and, ultimately, create a new physics of central forces and the law of universal gravitation. Building on his analysis of Newton's methodology, Professor Cohen explores the fine structure of revolutionary change and scientific creativity in general. This is done by developing the concept of scientific change as a series of transformations of existing ideas. It is shown that such transformation is characteristic of many aspects of the sciences and that the concept of scientific change by transformation suggests a new way of examining the very nature of scientific creativity.

Lacity, Mary and Willcocks, Leslie P. (2008) Information systems and outsourcing: studies in theory and practice. Palgrave, London, UK. ISBN 9780230205376
Information Systems and Outsourcing covers nearly 20 years of leading theoretical and practical research on IT outsourcing by the two authors and their global network of 11 distinguished contributing authors. The book is organized chronologically to clearly show the evolution of theory and practice over time. The authors comment on which findings remain critically relevant versus which findings have considerably progressed. The book explores how good IT outsourcing theories shape practice and how effective IT outsourcing practices inform theory. The authors stress, through their own empirical work, the importance of critically examining theories borrowed from economics, strategy, and sociology to study IT outsourcing. The practice studies, based on over 500 case studies, explore the decision processes and management practices associated with domestic, offshore, and global sourcing of IT services from both client and supplier perspectives.

Dark Matter the Wolf Warrior: the Heart of Warriors HTML version
"Ouch! Mama, is that you?"
"Yes, but I'm busy. What do you want?" I asked a little snappishly,
these were one of those times when I'm glad she's blind.
If she saw the dead android with its throat split open, it could traumatize
her at this age.
"Mom, I think I'm getting sick. My throat hurts." Emerald said before
she coughed.
It got me a little bit worried, this is the third time she came running to
me with a sore throat. I gave her medicine twice but with no response.
"Ok, ok, ok. I'll take you to the medical center." I said as I picked her up
and carried her to the medical center down the corridor.
The doctor examined her but it took about an hour. Well, at least it
appeared too. The doctor looked at me with grief and shook his head.
"Well, what's the matter? Even if she's sick, we are as fully stock as any
hospital." I growled at him.
"We don't have the kind of medicine she needs." The doctor said
A sudden chill traveled down my back, I knew that this was bad news;
but I tried to keep myself calm.
"Mom, am I going to be all right?" Emerald asked me.

It was the second hour that did it. When his 60-mile commute became a full fingers-drumming-on-the-dashboard 120 minutes, San Diego County CTO Samuel Johnson was finally convinced that something had to change. His idea: buses that practically drive themselves. Over the next three years, workers will carve a narrow lane down the shoulder of the increasingly congested Interstate 805, exclusively for buses and commercial trucks modded with lane-keeping sensors and adaptive cruise control. Neither technology is new, but most automakers tune adaptive cruise control to keep cars farther apart than normal, making traffic worse. In the robot lane, vehicles will be packed like train cars. They'll still have drivers — everyone has to leave the freeway sometime — but they'll be out of the main flow. If the new lanes work, public transportation will move faster, trucks will speed safely along approximately 20 miles of the main US-Mexico shipping corridor (UPS has signed up for the test), and traffic on I-805 will be reduced. "Fixing this problem is going to require some radical thinking," says Jake Peters, founder of transportation startup Swoop Technology, which is designing the system. "And, hey, it could be a way to make a trillion dollars."

New drip edge on old roof with curled shingles
I'm debating what type of drip edge flashing to install on an existing asphalt shingle roof (the house has no flashing at all, with the expected dripping problems). There are two layers of shingles meaning the house was reroofed at some point and they left the previous roof on. The old bottom layer of shingles is curling down and shredded and damaged along the edges. (You'd think they'd act as a sort of drip edge but no such luck). The newer top layer of shingles is sticking out over the gutter as it should. The gutters are in ok shape.
I will have to either remove or push up the curled down shingle edges in order to slot the flashing between the felt and plywood. Question, should I use the type of drip edge flashing that helps support the old shingle (ie it has a lip on it that sticks out) or should I just go with a flashing that has an angle and can tuck back under the curled shingles. Or should I remove the damaged and curled edge altogether.
My concern with using a supporting flashing and leaving the old edge is that the curl of the old shingles will introduce a gap that water could run back into.
Also since it will be hard to nail the flashing in this situation, will a bead of goo between the flashing and tarpaper be sufficient sealing?
I also toyed with the idea of slotting the flashing between the two layers of shingles although I know it's not technically correct. The house will probably be getting a new roof in the next couple years anyway.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
What is happening to make you think you have to do anything at all? The reason I ask is that this is going to be tough without removing the gutter, and I would bet that your fascia is probably already toast. Just plan on new fascia when you re-roof, which will be a complete tear off to the structural deck.
If you insist on doing something, I would just use a flat piece of 6 inch, 24 gage Galvanized sheet steel with a return hem on the outer edge, so you can get it under the original felt. Heat up and Lift a tab and throw in a nail or two per length, then put a dab of roof cement over the head.
You may want to work with shorter pieces like 4 foot, and lap them 3 inches or so, so you can work from a ladder. Do Not. I repeat, DO NOT nail through the laps.
You better take a Valium before you start this project though, it will be frustrating. :wallbash:
Jagans is right, you will be pounding your head against a wall while doing this. I have done this as a temporary fix to keep water from continuing to rot out the roof edges. I have used regular drip edge and slipped it under the shingles as best I could then nailed or glued it down. It is difficult at best as you try to get an 8 ft piece to slide under the shingles but it can be done. Just don't expect it to be a PERMANENT solution because the drip edge will have a tendency to slip out because of the lack of proper nailing. It will give you a year or two of service til you reroof properlly.

I got one myself the other day have brought it around to a few places and have found it to be pretty dang useful, especially with the 2 USB ports on it as well. It's basically a clever 4-in-1 power adapter so you don't have to worry about losing individual power adapters, or especially if you are traveling between countries with different power sources. Oh and also, it has 2 USB ports, so not only can you click a button, and the UK power supply plug pops out for you to plug in your computer, but at the same time you can charge two of your devices! Maybe you could even charge your friends device at the same time… either way, if you win this, you'll have the choose to be nice or not to your friends ;)
OK so ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO ENTER THE CONTEST is either reply here, or on instagram, twitter, facebook or email firstname.lastname@example.com, and tell me where you are from, where you are going (maybe who's going with you?) and why this would help you?! Also, it wouldn't hurt if you were familiar with the Pack Like A Rock Star book and methods and wanted to add pictures of you packing BUT you definitely don't have to!
Contest only runs until Sept 15th so reply, spread the word to your friends and let's see who's gonna win this sexy little travel gadget giveaway
BONUS: ALL entries will get a PDF of the book, How To Pack Like A Rock Star, (just make sure to ask and supply your email address so I know where to send it!)
Pack Like A Rock Star demo's the Olixar Power Up Kit
'Ok ok, to start off I have to be honest and admit that I really like gadgets… and I love good travels gadgets even more. But I also have to be careful because it can be like wanting to pack all of your favorite clothes into your suitcase; you just probably wont need them all!
So what is this little gadget I'm talking about? What does it do, how does it help me, and will this be a mainstay in my pack or a seasonal gadget? Let's talk it through as Pack Like A Rock Star demo's the Olixar Power Up Kit…
What it is: The Olixar Power Up Kit is a clever little pack with multiple travel adapters for when you find yourself touring/working/traveling, whether at home or overseas (or somewhere with a different power system) as well as a power adapter with 4 USB spots (I kid you not!) for powering multiple devices at once. Also included are a couple of retractable cables (both with Lightning OR Micro USB ends) and a super slim, portable power bank for charging on-the-go.
What does it do: Well that's probably fairly obvious already, but, the reality is, that if you travel enough, especially outside of your country, then you really do need something special like this to power up all of your electronics. And if you have multiple devices, (ie. phone, iPad, e-reader etc.), then this is perfect for that. Having four separate ports for charging is great; It comes with two cables already, so if you have a few devices then you'll still have to bring an extra cable or two, but you would normally have them anyway so think of these as an oops-forgot-my-charger-again backup plan…times 2!
The power bank included is ultra slim, which makes it easier to carry around with you. It's not quite fit-it-in-your-wallet thin (unless you're George Costanza) but you can definitely stick it in any one of your pockets without a whole lot of worry or discomfort – even with skinny jeans – so that says something right? The best feature about it is that it comes with a cable built into it so you don't have to also port around a cable. It's a short Micro USB end that pops out of the device, and if you have an iPhone, there is also a hidden Lightning adapter for you underneath the cable.
I have to be honest, it took me more than a second to figure this little sucker out, BUT when I did ha, I was pretty darned happy with it. With 2500mAh's, it gives you a decent little charge for it's portability: It charged my iPhone back to full from 5%, and the last time I charged the power bank was almost two weeks earlier, so it's definitely got some pretty decent power.
Design: I have to say, it's a great looking kit. Better looking than a power bar, that's for sure. When I first got the Olixar in my hands I was impressed by the amount of time and energy that was clearly spent on the design. It's sexy. And I like carrying around or traveling with items that not only impress me but also others who may see it. I also might add that over the years I've lost an international power adapter or two probably due to the fact that I kept them in a discreet black bag that you'd see diamonds held in… well in the movies at least. Any who, what I'm trying to say is it's nice to have a good set, in a proper case, that I would care about, where everything in there has it's own spot, making it obvious if you've forgotten to replace something.
Couple things that bugged me: Now call me old school if you will, but when I travel abroad, I almost always have my actual laptop with me, so a power adapter with only a bunch of USB ports and no actual plugin option for my computer power cable stinks… I'd have to bring a separate power adapter for that. And if it weren't for my computer, then it may be for my flat iron…no, I'm not in an emo band, and I don't actually have any hair except for my beard, but I do have a wife and she might need her flat iron. Again, point being, I'd probably still need a separate adapter even if I grew up and just used an iPad as an away work computer.
The other thing that kinda bugs me is the power bank… remember when I said it took me a sec to figure out how to make it work? Ok here's why I'm an idiot, or why it's a little goofy in design… one of these must be true. So I pulled out the cable from the power bank and noticed it was Micro USB, and having an iPhone myself I thought, crap, I'll need one of the Micro to Lightning adapters from the retractable cables that come with the kit. Not a huge deal since the Power Up Kit comes with two. But then I didn't like the fact that I'd have to carry this little adapter around separately… and that's when I noticed that hidden under where the power bank cable had been was a Micro USB slot?! I plugged the cable into it (basically like I was trying to charge the device with it's own power, which seemed dumb…) and then noticed a piece came out? I actually thought I broke it at first, only to realize that it too was yet another Micro USB to Lightning adapter, thus finally realizing I could charge my phone without having to borrow from another part of the Kit. Ok, so I am an idiot, BUT what I still don't like, and why I actually thought I broke it at first is because the cable only goes half way into the adapter. I have a hard enough time seeing my drawers at home being left half open, and so this kind of thing, when cables don't fully look connected, like puzzle pieces that "kind of fits together…?!" bugs me. That being said, it still works fine.
Overall: From the design to all the features, it's a pretty great kit with a lot of very useful and usable parts. It's perfect for a device-friendly traveler, which is most of us these days, isn't it? Would I use it every time I go away? Maybe not. But then again, maybe I would? I know I'd use parts of the Kit for sure on a regular basis… but as much as I praised the design and look of it all, for an everyday use or travel kit, it's pretty large. Not overly heavy, but still a good size which would take up a bit if extra space in your bag. If I'm being honest with myself, I might even be inclined to bring a simple powerbar with me along with my normal chargers if I were on a shorter trip in North America (no need for all the power adapters…). Maybe a power adapter and a powerbar, ha. But then again, the order and tidiness of the Olixar Power Up Kit is what I was first drawn to, and keeping things need an orderly is what I preach with all my, How To Pack Like A Rock Star, stuff, so in that sense I would bring this along with me. Less mess, more order is my jam. It's the reason I "file" my clothes into my suitcase vertically like a filing cabinet, for a more accessibility and more efficient way of packing; to alleviate the extra time and energy wasted from rummaging through your bag each and every time. And It's not like I can't find more space in my suitcase for a simple-shaped case such as this one, that's what the Rock Star pack is all about. So, it turns out, I do like this sexy Power Kit and I'm ready to show her off to all my friends. Or make friends with it ;)

Top 5 Packing Tips for travel
I was recently looking through a bunch of old writings and I came across these Top 5 Tips for Travel I wrote for another company (and or blog), to which it dawned on me… I didn't even post this on my blog?! So here it is, my thoughts and top 5 tips for travel.
1. Pack with a Purpose
It's about time we start looking for a new way to pack, a method more conducive to travel. Try folding your clothes and placing them into the suitcase vertically, as if you were filing them in a cabinet. You should be able to see every article of clothing from the moment you open your bag. If it helps, view packing as a game of Tetris, ordering ordering your clothes in the most logical and efficient manner. I even fold my clothes so that the most distinguishable part is visible and facing upwards, like the the back pocket stitching of my jeans or the middle crest of my shirts. What advantage do you have by being able to see everything in your bag all at once? Well, the way I see it, the less time you spend searching, sorting and sifting through your clothes, the more time you'll have exploring the sights. Efficiency* is the key.
*Rolling is not efficient. I don't roll for the same reason bricks aren't round… they don't stack well. FYI, rolling also creates more wrinkles.
2. Heavy to light
Make sure you place your heavier items like jeans, toiletries, shoes, etc. are on the side of the bag where the wheels are, this way they don't put extra weight on your other items while in the upright position. Packing with this in mind helps to prevent unnecessary wrinkles, and needless to say, less wrinkling = less ironing, meaning (that's right), more time exploring.
3. Wet Pockets
Whether you travel with just a carry-on or full size suitcase, make sure it has a waterproof external pocket, also known as a wet pocket.* A wet bathing suit from your last minute swim in paradise, sweaty workout gear, shower sandals, various liquids, or even a few goldfish can be thrown into this pockets last minute… and remember, we want to make the most of our time away, so if we can save ourselves from having to do laundry before we start heading home, then great!
*If your bag doesn't have one, try bringing a few large ziplock bags instead.
4. Flip Flops
Being a musician, my work lends me to traversing though many a great cities, however, it can also include some very dark and dirty music venues with dingy showers. Cheap flip flops have saved me on numerous occasions as I've had to explore (this time not in a good way) the history of a building through the age of her showers in a sad attempt to maintain proper hygiene.
*Afterwards, slip them easily away into the wet pocket I just spoke about.
5. Pack Lighter
My last tip is a common one, I know, but here's my take on it:
Learning how to pack lighter can be difficult, but it's a lot like trying to quit smoking; You may have to start cutting back slowly, but eventually you just have to stop. So leave that extra shirt or blouse you "think you might wear" behind. If you don't believe me then at least try this: Make an itemized list of everything you've packed and at the end of the trip place a checkmark beside each item you actually wore… I'm willing to bet there are items you didn't touch, isn't there? Again, next time leave them behind.
In short, think about what you pack and think about how you pack. Try and have fun with packing and make a game out of it. Again, the more time you spend with your head in your bag the less time you have to explore the beautiful sites and sounds this wonderful world has to offer.
Happy Travels,
And as always, if you need more of these tips, then help support an nerd/artist and buy my book! :)

Rolling Your Clothes Sucks.
Rolling your clothes sucks.
There, I said it. And I said it not because I don't ever do it (though I rarely do nowadays) but because it isn't a very effective way to pack your suitcase. Well, it's about as effective as the way your parents taught you how to pack your bags; stacking your clothes one on top of each another, each piece covering up the next. And although I will give some points to those who "roll" over those who pack in the generic… or dare I say geriatric way, I still want you to understand why Rolling Your Clothes Sucks… and why my Filing Method rules.
1. Rolling Creates more wrinkles.
Don't just believe what everyone tells you, and do a test for yourself and you will find that even if you take your sweet ass time in doing a perfect t-shirt roll, you will still end up with more wrinkles than you would have folding your clothes. Fewer creases, potentially yes, but significantly more wrinkles.
Proper folding is the key to a perfect pack. Items should be folded in order to reduce the number of wrinkles or creases, and should be folding specifically for each suitcase you are using. Less movement is always better so having a nice snug fit is best, and that's why I believe people like the idea of rolling, cause you can put them together so nicely, or so it seems…
2. Circles don't fit well into squares.
Think of it this way. What could you fit the most of into a square suitcase (assuming they were contained the same volume): A cans of coke, or a square juice-box? Juice-boxes, right? The cylindrical shape of a coke can leaves way too much space left open in the corners. Have a look at my excellent drawing skills for my example of this idea and how you might lay them in your suitcase…
So understand that you are not saving space by rolling your clothes into round cylinders. And by squishing all your rolled items into your bag you are actually squishing them into pseudo-squares (as they are being pushed in an attempt to fill in those empty corner spaces), so in reality you might as well make them into a square like shape to begin with! Compressing your clothes is what saves you space… and there are many more efficient ways of doing that for a suitcase, like my method, the FILING (CABINET) METHOD.
*I do, however, understand that there's an argument to be had if you travel with a duffel bag, some rolling can be beneficial, but then of course you still have to deal with this issue…
3. It hides what's what.
By rolling your clothes, you are hiding away all the key differentiating features to your clothing. A t-shirt logo will be hidden, the back pocket stitching to a pair of jeans, hidden… aside from color or wash, you don't know exactly where the clothes you plan on wearing are without a little trial and error; pull this one out, unroll it, "oops, wrong one…", now you kind of take the time to re-roll, half-ass of course, cause you'll redo it better later (classic); put back in, disrupt your pile again and pull out the other one that looked like the shirt you wanted…
You should be able to see everything you have from the moment you open up your bag! Save time and energy while also saving your pack from being pillaged each time you pull something out. The Filing Method makes this easy; you see it, you pull it out. No moving things out of the way just to get at the one item you actually want.
Don't understand how the Filing Method works yet? Let me explain the basics: Think of packing like you are filing paperwork in a Doctors office… open the drawer, File Vertical, close drawer. Basic. The other files there will keep it condensed and upright and easy to find when you need it without having to look through the other papers first.
Your packing method should be a good combination of all things that will enhance your traveling experience, not hinder it. More time digging through your clothes is more time wasted while you could be out enjoying your vacation. And although attempting to arrive with the fewest amount of wrinkles and creases is good, it always helps to understand that no method will eliminate them altogether. Learn to be OK with that cause
There's more to packing then just reducing wrinkles and creating more space.
You have to be practical. Packing in a way that helps with only issue isn't a great plan either. Have you ever seen or heard about the "Engineering or Bundle method"? The one which involves laying your pants down first so they extend outside of your bag, then you place your shirts in a similar fashion but 90 degrees to that… blah blah blah… then you fold it all up into a wonder (and completely impractical) bundle of joy (that will take 20 minutes to dismantle when you want something from there) that will save you space (maybe, if you do it well enough and have enough clothes the exact dimensions of the suitcase or shove socks into random empty holes) and free from wrinkles (except all the ones that will come from bag slumpage when you place your bag upright and tote it around). Sound like a good and practical way to pack? Not for me.
By Filing your clothes, you will gain ALL of these pros at the same time, instead of just one or two of them:
– save space
– stay (relatively) wrinkle-free
– be able to see all your clothes from the moment you open your suitcase
– become overjoyed (and wowed) by your new sense of order in life or on the road… or at least in your suitcase!
– impresses your friends. Especially your OCD or nerdy friends, and especially your mom.
Summary: Packing methods, other than the Filing Method, make life on the road more challenging and time consuming. Or if nothing else, give filing a try and challenge yourself to learn a new method! If it isn't for you, no problem, do what works best for you and your suitcase! I just wanted to you to have the facts :)

Thank You Chris Walla
I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to Chris Walla. If you haven't heard, he recently played his last show with Death Cab For Cutie at a great festival in my hometown of Victoria BC called, Rifflandia. Chris was a huge part of Death Cab, but he was also a huge part of helping me get this How To Pack book off the ground. Chris was the second artist willing to be a part of the book, second only to Tegan and Sara. Chris and I spend a morning taking a few pictures before a good long day of pre-production for Tegan and Sara's Sainthood album and I couldn't have been more thankful for it. Some of my favorite photos for the book came from this shoot, including my handmade/hand-sowed sock-wing suit that allowed Chris to take flight… well when jumping off a fridge at least. In fact I'll add a couple never seen before shots just below here, after all, that the whole reason to come to the site right, special content?! Chris produced Tegan and Sara's, The Con and Sainthood albums if you weren't aware, so yes, he's a true talent that man. On a side note, Chris has a lot of really great socks. And this was before it was cool to have cool socks. He's the cool sock originator i feel.
So to Chris, Thank you to for being a big part of my book and thank you for the great music you made with your bandmates for over 17 years! You are a wonderful person and I look forward to seeing what's next for you my friend.

Infomercials. We've all seen them, we can all recite them, (think "sham-wow!", "linguine-bikini", or "wow that's a big schticky" and that's all from just one pitcher!) and yes they are extremely annoying so I'll stop talking about them BUT I would love for you to imagine just for a moment that this next paragraph is done in that style of voice!
"Have you ever struggled to get all your clothes into one suitcase? Now imagine how much fun packing would be if you got to play tetris with your clothes? Image how simple it would be if you were playing with all the same sized objects? Now what if I tell you that this can all be done and that you, yes even you, could actually learn to enjoy packing your bags?! That's right, it can be done and I can show you how! But just wait, that's not all! I can even show you how to save precious space and learn how to pack more into your suitcase! With just one simple payment of $14.95 you'll be able to learn not only all my tricks, but also those of all your favorite rock stars!"
See how fun that was? Well either way, the reality is that packing with the rock star method, (or the filing method as I like to call it these days) can actually be much more fun than the normal methods like rolling or the other traditional one… and way more fun than imagining me with an infomercial pitcher voice, that's for sure! The key is in the folding. Find a way in which the depth and width of each clothing item is the same… I can get more technical if you like but I can't iterate enough, packing should be fun. Make an art out of it. Learn to pack your clothes vertically and treat them like files in a filing cabinet so you can see everything you brought with you from the moment you open your suitcase. Or have a little more fun and make shapes or patterns with your clothes and tetris it up! There are enough things to worry about before and during your travels, so don't let packing add to that stress. Have fun and safe travels!
here's an old series of shots I was doing for an animation showing how easy it is to fill a suitcase and see what all is in there as well as remove and replace items while you travel… Oh and ya that was also an attempt for subliminal messaging and a link to my book on amazon talking more about all of this, including tips and tricks from some pretty cool musicians. Here's one more link :P


text: History of the AOA Page ContentThe American Osteopathic Association serves as the professional home for more than 129,000 osteopathic physicians and medical students in the U.S. A distinct branch of medical practice, osteopathic medicine is based on a philosophy that all systems of the human body are interrelated, each working with the other to heal in times of illness. This whole-person approach was pioneered by Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, a Virginia-born frontier physician, toward the end of the nineteenth century. After three of his children died of spinal meningitis, Dr. Still began searching for a better way to practice medicine. 'A better way' Following a decade of study, Dr. Still developed a holistic approach emphasizing the musculoskeletal system's role in maintaining good health, as well as the interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit. His philosophy stressed the importance of preventive medicine and used a set of manual techniques, now known as osteopathic manipulative treatment, to help diagnose, treat and prevent illness and injury. Dr. Still founded the American School of Osteopathy in Kirsksville, Missouri, in 1892. By 1897, the school had a faculty of 14 and a student body of 280. Today, there are 33 accredited osteopathic medical schools offering instruction at 45 locations throughout the U.S. Founding the AOA In 1896, Vermont became the first state to license osteopathic physicians. The following year, a group of students organized the American Association for the Advancement of Osteopathy, which officially became known as the American Osteopathic Association in 1901. More than a century later, the AOA still works to advance the mission of Dr. Still by promoting the distinctive philosophy and practice of osteopathic medicine. In addition, the association serves as the primary certifying body for all osteopathic physicians and the accrediting agency for all osteopathic medical schools. Chief among the AOA's initiatives are promoting public health, encouraging scientific research and helping to ensure quality, cost-effective care for underserved patients. Due to the osteopathic medical profession's emphasis on whole-person care, many DOs choose to enter primary care, focusing on family medicine, internal medicine or pediatrics. DOs also have a long history of practicing in rural and underserved communities, providing care to those who need it most. A.T. Still, MD, DO, founded the first osteopathic medical school in 1892. (Hidden) History of Osteopathic Medicine Virtual Museum Osteopathic medicine and the AOA have a long history in this country: from Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO first articulating the idea of improving medicine near the turn of the 19th century, to the founding of the AOA, to innovative research, and to the welcoming of minorities and women. The history of the profession is rooted in the philosophy of treating the whole person which continues to this day. Learn more by visiting our history website.

A German farmer admits he "can't get any work done" after his advert for a WIFE has seen his phone ring off the hook.
Roland Geiger has been inundated with offers after he hung a sign outside his farm in Freiburg indicating he was looking for a better half.
At first his sign, which read: "Farmer without any animals is looking for a wife," didn't receive much attention.
But since he was featured in a local newspaper report the amount of applications have gone through the roof.
So much so in fact that he has confirmed he is now only intending to consider the younger women who apply.
Geiger owns 20 hectares of land, several tractors and his own farmhouse.
But he has been unable to look after it in recent times, such has been the response to his ad.
"I have been kept so busy with these applications that I can't get any work done," he said.

This means we have direct control over quality and indeed costs to provide a cost effective solution to the Pharmacy Dispensing Market
Krystals is also proud to be a founder member of the Child Safe Packaging Group meaning that we are at the forefront of child safe and quality standards and certification for our market. Therefore you can rest assured that we are manufacturing and supplying to the highest standards
We believe that our strengths in this sector can be translated into success in corrugated carton manufacturing. As a result in 2011 we decided to invest in modern equipment to help us realise this ambition and as at July 2012 we can boast that the average age of our corrugated equipment is less than 12 months
This re-birth of the Krystals Corrugated Cartons is proving to be very exciting with existing customers and suppliers who are coming together to realise the benefits of working with the changed more efficient company. We like to think of ourselves as "the new boys with the big boys toys!"

Oh, Hollywood. You're always messing with our heads. The opening titles to "Middle Men" say it's "Inspired by a True Story," but the end titles say, "This film is, in its entirety, a work of fiction." Those statements aren't technically contradictory, but I guess the truth is somewhere in the "middle." ==I -- PC==

It is true that porn was a strong early driver of internet e-commerce. This is still a major income source for on-line payment services like EBay's PayPal. Meg Whitman made a lot of money from porn sales.

HRA adopts smoking ban
Starting Aug. 1, all Brainerd Housing and Redeveloppment Authority public housing properties will be smoke-free.
It was learned Thursday that the Brainerd HRA board of commissioners voted Feb. 23 to adopt a smoke-free policy for all properties that will go into effect Aug. 1. This will affect about 325 public housing units, including 162 units at the North Star Apartments, 16 units at scattered sites in the city, 25 units at Valley Trail, 60 units at Brainerd South Apartment, 24 units near College Drive, 18 units at Trail Ridge and 20 units at Valley View. This ban also includes outdoor property, such as the apartment parking lots.
Dale Parks, commission chair, said the Brainerd HRA has been strongly encouraged for the past two years by state housing officials and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to adopt a smoke-free policy. He said the Brainerd HRA commission has been discussing this issue for the past year and late last year surveyed residents on their thoughts on the policy.
"The majority of people who took the survey wanted to not have smoking," Parks said. "I think it will be controversial but I do know there are people who have been pushing for a ban on smoking for quite some time."
Parks said the HRA has been contacted by people who wanted smoke-free apartments for their elderly parents but there was no way the HRA could stop smoke from entering other apartments through the ventilation system without an all-out smoking ban. Parks said Morrison County, Pequot Lakes and Wadena HRAs also have adopted a similar ban, along with nearly 50 public housing authorities in the state.
Lucy Nesheim, Brainerd City Council member and a commission member, said the ban will begin Aug. 1, a delay that will give residents time to try to quit smoking.
" A lot of people have strong allergies to smoke," said Nesheim. "I think it's important to discourage something that will jeopardize everybody's health."
Smoking can also be dangerous for residents in multi-family buildings in other ways. According to the Smoke Free Communities Multi-Unit Housing Program, a program that promotes smoke-free apartment living in central Minnesota, smoking is the leading cause of residential fire death in the state and around the country. In 2006, smoking caused two-thirds of multi-housing fire deaths in Minnesota. Twenty-five percent of victims of smoking-material fire fatalities are not the smoker whose cigarettes started the fire.

Adam Bede HTML version
before, and, with her usual benignant hopefulness, she trusted it was the stirring of a
divine impulse. She kissed the sobbing thing, and began to cry with her for grateful joy.
But Hetty was simply in that excitable state of mind in which there is no calculating what
turn the feelings may take from one moment to another, and for the first time she became
irritated under Dinah's caress. She pushed her away impatiently, and said, with a childish
sobbing voice, "Don't talk to me so, Dinah. Why do you come to frighten me? I've never
done anything to you. Why can't you let me be?"
Poor Dinah felt a pang. She was too wise to persist, and only said mildly, "Yes, my dear,
you're tired; I won't hinder you any longer. Make haste and get into bed. Good-night."
She went out of the room almost as quietly and quickly as if she had been a ghost; but
once by the side of her own bed, she threw herself on her knees and poured out in deep
silence all the passionate pity that filled her heart.
As for Hetty, she was soon in the wood again--her waking dreams being merged in a
sleeping life scarcely more fragmentary and confused.

Shattering the Ruby-Quartz Ceiling: Why Cyclops Is Finally Cool
Okay, I'm just going to come out and say it.
These days, Cyclops is just about the coolest cat with an X-gene.
It doesn't sound right, does it? I mean, Scott Summers has a long tradition of being the X-Men's wet blanket. He was the wedge that separated the simmering passions of Wolverine and Jean Grey. He lacked charisma or personality; he was Captain America-lite; he was boring. But in Matt Fraction's "Uncanny X-Men," he's finally become the bold leader of a race that he was always destined to be. He's all grown up, and frankly, he's grown up pretty hot.The character's changes began a few years back. It was in the ill conceived mini-saga "The Twelve" that X-creators first toyed with darkening up the character's personality. Summers became host of Apocalypse, and even after the ancient mutant was thought to be expunged from the recesses of Cyclops' mind, Summers' perspective was different; harsher and colder. It was a clumsy attempt to reinvent the character, but the intentions were true, and foreshadowed the changes to come.
During Grant Morrison's "New X-Men" run, the writer explored the moral compromise in the character. Married to the then-still-living Jean Grey, he engaged in a "psychic affair" with notorious bad-girl Emma Frost. The two shared trysts that existed only within their own minds, and while Scott could rationalize them as indicative of the growing chasm between he and his on-again-dead-again wife, it was a pretty clear act of infidelity. Now, cheating isn't cool, per se, but for the eternally conservative, safe-playing Summers, it was a big departure and a major development as he experimented with his own independence. And instead of being told how "dark" he was, as readers were after the events of "The Twelve," it was his actions that revealed the loosening of his rigid moral fiber.
In Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men", after Jean Grey died for the latest time, Summers and Frost were engaged in a stable, pretty much healthy relationship. Again, stability, unto itself, isn't all that "cool," either, but let's be honest — it takes a certain amount of swagger to keep a woman like Emma satisfied, even when the excitement of an affair has passed. And Emma Frost must have been doing something right, because he wasn't tortured by the memories of his dead-again wife, and wasn't showing any signs of his typical angst or tension.
But it was during Messiah CompleX that Scott finally became liberated from his eternally deferential role as a mutant leader. Disillusioned by his mentor and the leader of the mutant movement, Charles Xavier, Scott took the reins as the primary decision-maker for what was left of the mutant race. By finally stepping out of Xavier's shadow, Scott took his most significant step forward as character
It was his deference to the dreams and desires of others that had limited his scope, because he was constantly defining himself through others. He defined his life's work and philosophy through someone he believed was smarter. He defined his capabilities as a lover through someone he could never protect, never fully measure up to as an equal, and was destined to leave him a widower. He was, quite simply, never his own man. But when he made the decision to pack up shop, and move the X-Men westward, to San Francisco for a fresh start, he finally became a leader, not just in name, but in action.
Which brings us to today. During the "Uncanny X-Men"/"Dark Avengers" crossover "Utopia," head honcho of H.A.M.M.E.R. and general king of the world Norman Osborne has descended on the Bay area, policing a riot that broke out after an anti-mutant march. Laying blame at the feet of the X-Men, he sics his team of dastardly Avengers after the mutants. As one might imagine, a throw-down ensues.
Cyclops has been at the forefront of big-time brawls before, and long been known as a master tactician and field general, so that isn't what makes this significant. What is significant is the matter of scale. Norman Osborn has ascended to being, basically, the chief supervillain of all the world, and he's sitting across the chessboard from Scott. And Slim has risen to the challenge as his equal.
There is a confidence and conviction in Scott under Fraction's pen that oozes coolness, and presents him now as the antithesis of his former self. When commanding a strike-force of Dodson-rendered buxom mutantettes in "Uncanny X-Men" #514 both forcibly and convincingly, Summers exudes a comfort in his role, and skin, that is simply more appealing than he's been in the past. He also commands an undeniable simmering sexuality, as when he tells one of Emma Frost's protégé Stepford Cuckoos, known to be as mercurial as their mentor, "I need you to get arrested."
"Whatever you say, Mr. Summers," she responds coyly. He's in charge. He's fine with it. He talks. You listen. They follow. It's the part he was born to play.
Ultimately, Cyclops has been liberated from the burdens and the lameness that limited his potential as an character. He's the head mutant in charge, and he's not shirking. He's just doing it, and doing it, and doing it well. And that's cool.
Or maybe it's just the stubble.

Penn State to Prohibit Bags at Athletic Events
Backpacks, bags, and purses will not be permitted in Beaver Stadium and at all athletic events this fall. One clear one-gallon plastic bag per person will be permitted for items required for medical and/or child care needs. All items are subject to inspection.
"Not permitting any bags into Beaver Stadium, the Bryce Jordan Center, Rec Hall and all our athletic facilities is an important additional layer of security for all the spectators and participants," said Steve Shelow, assistant vice president for police and public safety at Penn State. "This policy brings Penn State in line with other peer institutions across the nation."
Michigan and Michigan State are among the Big Ten Conference institutions that do not permit bags at home athletic events.
Fans should refer to the complete list of prohibited items and parking/tailgating rules, which are available in the 2012 Beaver Stadium Information Guide. (http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/psu/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2012-13/misc_non_event/stadium-guide.pdf).
The 2013 Beaver Stadium Information Guide will be posted later this summer on GoPSUsports.com. Items abandoned at facility entry gates will be discarded.

The white or square-lipped rhino is one of two rhino species in Africa. It in turn occurs as two subspecies, the southern and the northern. The southern dwindled almost to extinction in the early 20th century, but was protected on farms and reserves, enabling it to increase enough to be reintroduced. The northern white rhino has recovered in Democratic Republic of Congo from about 15 in 1984 to about 30 in the late 1990s. This population has been threatened by political conflict and instability.
There are two kinds of rhino who live in Africa, first is Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) and second is White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The white rhino's name derives from the Dutch "weit," meaning wide, a reference to its wide, square muzzle adapted for grazing. The white rhino, which is actually grey, has a pronounced hump on the neck and a long face. While the black, or hooked-lipped rhino, along with all other rhino species, is an odd-toed ungulate (three toes on each foot). It has a thick, hairless, grey hide. Both the black and white rhino have two horns, the longer of which sits at the front of the nose.
Rhino includes the bigest land mamals who live in africa besides elephant and other mamals. Rhino can live up to 35 to 40 years. The size of the rhinoceros stands about 60 inches at the shoulder. And the weight of Black Rhino is 1 to 1½ tons, while White Rhino is over 2 tons.
They have an extended "vocabulary" of growls, grunts, squeaks, snorts and bellows. When attacking, the rhino lowers its head, snorts, breaks into a gallop reaching speeds of 30 miles an hour, and gores or strikes powerful blows with its horns. Still, for all its bulk, the rhino is very agile and can quickly turn in a small space.
The rhino has a symbiotic relationship with oxpeckers, also called tick birds. In Swahili the tick bird is named "askari wa kifaru," meaning "the rhino's guard." The bird eats ticks it finds on the rhino and noisily warns of danger. Although the birds also eat blood from sores on the rhino's skin and thus obstruct healing, they are still tolerated
African Giraffes are one of the world's tallest mammals. They are well known for their long necks, long legs, and spotted patterns. African Giraffes have small "horns" or knobs on top of their heads that grow to be about five inches long. These knobs are used to protect the head in fights.
Male giraffes are larger than females. Males weigh between 2,400 and 3,000 pounds and stand up to 19 feet tall! Female giraffes weigh between 1,600 and 2,600 pounds and grow to be 16 feet tall. Giraffe populations are relatively stable. Healthy giraffes live about 25 years in the wild.
African Giraffes can be found in central, eastern and southern Africa. African Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, where they roam freely among the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and open plains.
Their long necks help giraffes eat leaves from tall trees, typically acacia trees. If they need to, giraffes can go for several days without water. Instead of drinking, giraffes stay hydrated by the moisture from leaves.
Female giraffes typically give birth to one calf after a fifteen-month gestation period. During the first week of its life, the mother carefully guards her calf. Young giraffes are very vulnerable and cannot defend themselves. While mothers feed, the young are kept in small nursery groups.
African Giraffes are hunted for their meat, coat and tails. The tail is prized for good luck bracelets, fly whisks and string for sewing beads. The coat is used for shield coverings. Habitat destruction and fragmentation are also threats to giraffe populations.
African elephants live wherever they can find enough food and water with minimal disturbance from people. Most of the continent's elephants live on savannas and in dry woodlands. In some regions, they occur in desert areas; in others, they are found in mountains. In Congo and other equatorial countries, forest elephants live in dense tropical rainforest.
Females and young males live in cohesive herds of about ten related adults and their offspring. The matriarch, usually the oldest and largest female, sets the pace of the group's activities. Males leave herds at puberty, around their 13th year, and travel alone or in bachelor groups. Elephants travel widely in search of food. Movements vary depending upon food availability. African elephants communicate with rumbles, growls, bellows, and moans. Some of these varied, low-frequency sounds may travel a mile or more.
Have you ever wathc the cartoon movie "Kung fu Panda"? But the Panda that would be described below is not the Panda who can do Kung fu like in that movie. Pada is the icon of the Chinese country becasue its unik. Here are the desciption about Panda.
The basic fur color of the giant panda is white with black eye patches, ears, legs, feet, chest, and shoulders. White areas are different shades of white from pure white to orangish or a light brown. Within its natural environment (the deep forest and, at upper elevations, snow androck), its mottled coloringprovides camouflage. There is also speculation that its striking color pattern may be a clear message to other pandas to stay away since the giant panda is an extremely solitary animal.The fur of the giant panda is thick and coarse. It consists of a coarse outer layer and a very dense, wooly-like underfur. To the touch, the fur feels oily. This oily protective coating helps protects pandas from the cool and damp climate in which the bear lives.

How do I retrofit my 2002 ZX3 headlights?
I have a DDM 4500K HID kit already, just installed a few days ago. That was only temporary for having the HIDs in the stock housings. Now since I have the HID kit, and every thing all I need is the Morimoto H1 minis. I'm going to be buying the SVT style housings. I want to know how do I actually retrofit them. What's all the modifications will I have to do? Does any one know who can retrofit them for me if I decide not to do it my self in the Conroe, Texas area?
Please give me a list of every thing I need, and how to modify the lights?
You can go to YouTube and get an idea from there is not to difficult,some rtv , dremmel and an oven
I want to know is there any modification needed with my 2002 headlight? Also does the shroud need to be trimmed in order to fit? I want the Gatling gun.
im actually doing this soon too. far as i know the gatling guns should be fine in our huge housings. not 100% sure but you should be fine.
Get the morimoto mini h1 5.0. The projector is pretty simple as it should just fit in the already existing hole. If not then there is would only be a tiny bit to dremel out. It has a threaded system to lock it in place. Pretty straightforward and simple. If you want the shrouds flush you may need to trim a little. Just test fit the shrouds first to see how you like them and go from there. And why spend the money on buying the black housings. They're the same as stock except they're black. You still have to crack them open. I would just use your stock ones and paint the insides black and polish the lenses. Would look brand new practically and save you some $$$. Unless yours are trashed.
Im doing the same when I crack em open, just priming and throwing down some black paint on everything to black em out, and just have a nice chrome shroud covering em. should look sick. hope to do it soon, just gotta buy it all still

Is it just me, or is there no way to split threads?
See Whistleblower's post below for details.
Remember, a Dragon is for life!
the facts speak for themselves read link above:
Hmm.. nice, but should probably be in its own thread, since this is the CieAura thread, and not a BurnLounge thread.. but yeah, that looks to be a classic pyramid scheme/mlm setup. Good to see the FTC is working on it.
1: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it does what it says, you should have no problem with this.
2: What proof will you accept that you are wrong? You ask us to change our mind, but we cannot change yours?
3: It is not our responsibility to disprove your claims, but rather your responsibility to prove them.
4. Personal testamonials are not proof.
What part of 'meow' don't you understand?

Adam wonders today about whether the rise in fuel economy of automobiles is a result of regulation, or a response of technology and wealth to price. I don't have a lot of time, so here are a couple charts:
Inflation-Adjusted Price of Gasoline
Average Fuel Economy
Two things I would like to note from a quick comparison:
- The spike in fuel economy is not abnormal*, and could probably be fully explained by ratex. There was a LOT of low-hanging fruit to be picked in by the end of the '70s that would facilitate such a large spike.
- Progressives will likely lament that average fuel economy has actually decreased…but of course that likely has nothing to do with physical engines becoming less efficient. It is most likely due to both increased luxury and safety — some of which is mandated, some of which is response to demand.
Addendum: CAFE standards were first ruminated in 1975 as a response to the (first 1970's) oil shock of the previous years. However, the first laws were passed in 1978, setting a regulation of 19mpg for cars and 17.2mpg for trucks (4WD is a little lower). However, these individual numbers don't matter. What matters is the average fuel efficiency of a company's entire fleet of vehicles. The first combined fuel economy standard was 17.2mpg. Thus, a company could have any mix of vehicle as long as it hit this number (i.e. a truck with 5mpg and a car with 30mpg would pass CAFE standards). These standards were raised every year (except 1985, when they were relaxed) until 1991; where the CAFE standard stood at 20.7 until 2007, when George W. Bush expanded it to mandate 35mpg by 2020…and it has once again begun slowly climbing.
I don't have the study at my fingertips, but CAFE standards have actually hurt the competitiveness of US automakers. High-end European automakers (BMW in particular) regularly balk the CAFE standards because of the premium they command, and thus simply pass the cost of the penalty on to their customers. Japanese automakers have steadily increased fuel economy beyond the standard ever since it was created. It is only US automakers who ride the line on the CAFE…having to play catch-up every time it changed.
Now, return to the graphs. If you look at the green line, it tells a very interesting story. It jumps almost immediately to 19mpg by 1979…which connects to its previous trajectory. But there is a languish between 1977 and 1979 where it levels off completely. My guess? Regulatory uncertainty. So CAFE, of course, can be held responsible for the jump in mileage — but the counterfactual that this would have happened anyway in the late 70's – early 80's, without activist government (and not to mention, CAFE is horrendous policy**), is just as strong.
Addendum 2: I suppose that one who was skeptical of the market price mechanism would point out that fuel economy has pretty much languished along with the CAFE standards…to that I would say 1. take a look at the price chart again, and 2. keep this is mind:
The average new car or light-duty truck sold in the 2003 model year tipped the scales at 4,021 pounds, breaking the two-ton barrier for the first time since the mid-1970's, according to a report released by the Environmental Protection Agency last week.
In that light, cars are ridiculously more efficient. Since the early 90's, we've just been piling on the luxury and safety at a very quick rate.
*By not abnormal, I mean with the numerous supply-side inefficiencies, a reaction of this magnitude to a move in price could be expected.
**My preferred policy? Gasoline taxes.

By Felton Davis
I recently attended a conference on drone warfare, and when one of the speakers there, former Colonel Ann Wright, was asked what we need to stop this runaway weapons program, she said unhesitatingly, "Irish juries!" The blank looks of the audience suggested that unfortunately, her allusion did not ring a bell.
Attached to this message is a bulging collection [1] of articles, cases, quotations and decision excerpts that have come my way over the years, arranged in chronological order. Needless to say, this is just the tip of the iceberg -- the motions and appeals for just the first plowshares action at GE in September of 1980, went on for a decade and would fill a whole book. Why do we have this continuingly growing body of cases and citations, a record of precedents good and bad? We have this record -- not because prosecutors and judges were moved on their own to explore the implications of the Nuremberg trials -- but because for over thirty years people have stuck their necks out in the cause of nuclear disarmament: crossing the line, sneaking in, breaking in, blocking, trespassing, dropping banners, pouring blood, and using household hammers to make real the prophecy in the 2nd chapter of Isaiah.
No one knows why certain actions result in published or reported cases, and others do not. No one knows when a judge or magistrate will respond in a thoughtful manner, acknowledging the relevance of international law or the pertinence of conscience. A judge can a) disallow a defense entirely, or b) allow the defense to be made but only before the judge and not the jury, or c) allow the defense to be made fully in the presence of the jury.
Ten years ago, when New York City Judge Richard Weinberg cited the "Zinn/Fortas debate" during one of our local trials after arrests at the Intrepid Museum, he was tapping into a history that was very real to him as a young lawyer, when he served on the defense team for those arrested at the Pentagon in October of 1967. Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas and Boston historian Howard Zinn went back and forth on the nature and significance of civil disobedience. But by the 21st century that was an obscure reference, and took some homework in order for us to learn about it. "Zinn/Fortas debate" carried as much meaning for us as "Irish juries" carried for the audience in Brooklyn.
Similarly, in 1985, when the Presbyterian Church Advisory Council issued a strong peace statement, it was vividly real to me because my old minister, the late Rev. George Vorsheim, actually stopped by the Morris County Jail to give me a copy of it, and find out what I thought:
"Precisely because of such a high view of civil authority,
however, Presbyterians have regarded a government's
neglect of its responsibility or abuse of its power as
very grave matters. Thus, Presbyterian life and witness
at its best have always manifested strong efforts toward
social reform directed at changing the policies and practices
of government. But our Reformed heritage also teaches --
and evidences -- that government may occasionally so
neglect or subvert the divine purposes of justice and peace
that it forfeits the presumption of legitimacy and its
claim on the obedience of citizens, including Christians.
When such circumstances arise, obedience to God
requires resistance to civil authority."
(Presbyterians and Peacemaking)
But did these fine words get much attention from the press, or generate a serious moral discussion in Presbyterian churches across the country? I don't think so. There are circumstances in which the government can actually "forfeit the presumption of legitimacy"? To 999 out of a 1000 church-going people that meant nothing. The Presbyterian Church should configure itself as a "resistance church," similar to the "confessing church" in Germany in the 1930's? An unimaginable speculation -- who even remembers today that the study group considered that possibility?
In the middle of Stanley Kramer's classic film, "Judgment at Nuremberg," the defense attorney for one of the German judges on trial asks his client: Why can't we show film footage of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? "Thousands and thousands of burnt bodies!" Why was only evidence convicting the German officials and judges relevant, and not evidence incriminating the United States? During his summation, the defense attorney demanded to know why the Vatican wasn't being held to account for signing an agreement with Germany in 1933, lending tremendous prestige to Adolf Hitler? "And what about the American industrialists who funded and profited from Hitler's military buildup?" he continued, a futile but heroic attempt to take those partisan postwar tribunals, and raise them to a higher level.
The trivial and simplistic answer is that at the Nuremberg trials, German officials were held to account because Germany was defeated in World War II. The first use of nuclear weapons on two Japanese cities was not at issue in those cases. Had the United States been defeated, the situation would have been very different.
I have great hope that our speaker on March 15th, plowshares activist and DC Catholic Worker Paul Magno, will be able to rise above the trivial and simplistic answers, and give full dimension to the agonizing dilemma that has plagued every individual or group who ever carried out a direct action over the years: the arrestees are on trial, not the war machine or the corporations or the politicians or the commander-in-chief.
What do all these opinions and decisions come to? Isn't it all just a bunch of gobbledygook that judges spew out before the door to the holding cells is opened, and the marshals slap on the handcuffs? And haven't the authorities already dispensed with the niceties of due process whenever it is convenient? Maybe so, maybe not. Maybe the accumulated price that people have paid in sweating out these trials, and surviving long prison sentences, and coming back for a second or third round, is actually part of a slowly expanding awareness that will one day change the rules of the game, and enable the public to rise up and deal with nuclear weapons as the massive injustice and threat to all life that they have always been.
Either way, we owe it to Paul to do some homework on this before Friday, so he doesn't have to spend a whole hour rehearsing this long and twisted history, and can concentrate on the present situation of the Transform Now Plowshares in Tennessee, on trial for their lives, and for our lives as well.
PS. "Irish juries" is a reference to the Pit Stop Plowshares, a group that carried out a disarmament action at Shannon Airport ten years ago, asserting that it is a violation of Irish neutrality for them to allow the United States to utilize the (civilian?) airport for military trans-shipments and refueling. Two years later, after their first trial was declared a mistrial, the second jury delivered an acquittal. (See "The Pit Stop Plowshares: On Trial in Ireland," by Carmen Trotta, The Catholic Worker, January-February 2005.)

November 3, 2011 | Medgar Evers College
"Medgar Wiley Evers defended the freedoms and liberties of all Americans while serving as an army officer abroad and as a dedicated civil rights leader at home," said Medgar Evers College President William L. Pollard, who will be attending the august occasion. "The College is proud that the United States Navy has chosen to recognize the legacy of this great man. I am proud that the College I serve bears his name."
The USNS Medgar Evers continues in the Lewis and Clark-class tradition of honoring renowned pioneers and explorers. Medgar Wiley Evers was a tireless advocate for racial quality, leading efforts to secure the right to vote for all African-Americans and to integrate public facilities, schools, and restaurants. On June 12, 1963, the "Man from Mississippi" was assassinated in the driveway of his home yet his legacy shines on.
About the USNS Medgar Evers
The USNS Medgar Evers will be a combat logistics force ship that will help the Navy maintain a worldwide forward presence by delivering ammunition, food, fuel, and other dry cargo to U.S. and allied ships at sea. As part of Military Sealift Command's Naval Fleet Auxiliary Force, Medgar Evers will be designated as a United States Naval Ship (USNS) and will be crewed by 124 civil service mariners and 11 Navy sailors. The ship is designed to operate independently for extended periods at sea, can carry a helicopter, is 689 feet in length, has an overall beam of 106 feet, has a navigational draft of 30 feet, displaces approximately 42,000 tons, and is capable of reaching a speed of 20 knots using a single-shaft, diesel-electric propulsion system.
About Medgar Evers College, CUNY

Does The Mediterranean Diet Prevent Allergies?
(BlackDoctor.org) — Are your allergies getting the best of you? Well the answer to your problems might be found in what you eat. New findings indicate that eating a Mediterranean style diet can reduce respiratory allergy and asthma symptoms.
The Link Between Diet and Allergies
Let's take a short trip to the island of Crete. While skin allergies are common here, nasal allergies and wheezing are rare. Why?
From childhood on, the bulk of the Crete islanders' diet consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, olive oil, and nuts. The natural foods in the Mediterranean diet are high in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect cells from the oxidative damage that causes diseases, and they have immune-boosting compounds.
In a study published in the journal Thorax, researchers found that Crete islanders who ate a Mediterranean diet had fewer allergies. They noted that diet staples such as nuts, grapes, oranges, apples, and fresh tomatoes were protective against allergies.

The #1 most cited and #1 largest open-access publisher in the category of Neuroscience.
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience is an open-access journal that aims to publish major insights into animal and human behavior, in order to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying behavior.
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience is an open-access journal that aims to publish major insights into animal and human behavior, in order to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying behavior. Our journal welcomes papers concerned with the interplay between behavior and neurobiological analysis at all levels: from molecular biology and genetics, to morphological, biochemical, neurochemical, electrophysiological, neuroendocrine, pharmacological, and neuroimaging studies, as long as they contribute to unravel the neurobiological basis of behavior. Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience welcomes work in all animal species, including humans, and integrative and translational approaches combining animal and human research are encouraged. In recent years, translational work has proved to be particularly suitable to address topics and questions related to psychopathology, with outstanding examples showing how animal studies can help identify key genetic mechanisms of behavioral deviation in humans and, conversely, how innovative findings in humans are directing essential work in animals. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the progress in this research area at a critical time when we are facing multiple challenges: from the need to integrate findings obtained at different levels of analysis to the constant redefinition of topics and approaches that concern and characterize the field of Behavioral Neuroscience.

Old Tech Never Fades Away; It Just Dies
The one thing certain about technology is that something better is always on the horizon. Some technologies, such as the landline telephone, evolve. Others, like the telex machine, just go away.
Adapting to a new technology is usually a struggle. Not only does it involve additional expense, but also users sometimes find it hard to adjust, no matter how much they may complain about the drawbacks of what they are currently using. This is a dilemma that chief technology officers face all the time. How do you ensure that the new systems you are buying won't be outdated within months of installation? Too often workers are forced to make do with the systems they have because companies can't justify capital expenditures to keep up with the pace of innovation.
And then there are those technologies are alive and kicking but some people wish were dead. Apple (AAPL) chief Steve Jobs has made no secret of the fact that he would like to see the untimely, bloody death of Adobe's (ADBE) Flash software. Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, has reportedly announced the demise of e-mail. And outgoing Nokia (NOK) CEO, Anssi Vanjoki, recently told reporters that single-lens reflex cameras would soon be obsolete due to cell-phone cameras.
Some new technologies looks poised to replace an existing technology, until they don't. That's what happened with solid-state memory drives and hard-disk drives. Hard disks were older and less sexy—but were a lot cheaper. As a result, both technologies are still used.
Keeping Myths Alive
John Monroe, an analyst at Gartner who specializes in hard drives, comments that the myth that solid-state drives will destroy hard-disk drives persists because the media wants the story to be black and white, while investors see the dollar signs.
"The [solid-state drive] takeover scenarios continue to fade into a future," Monroe says, "and are real only in the realm of speculation."
This is the problem in attempting to predict the future. With a technological breakthrough, the future becomes tangible, even when the hard numbers aren't in yet. Gartner calls this the "peak of inflated expectations" in the "hype cycle" charts the firm releases every year on emerging technologies. After the peak comes the "trough of disillusionment," which is where we stand on solid-state drives.
"The real fact," says Monroe, "is that there is a widening spectrum of opportunity for both technologies in an increasing variety of form factors and markets."
Sure, solid-state technology is used to store data on phones, cameras, and MP3 players. It is used as the most reliable of enterprise servers. Essentially, solid-state drives have transformed the business without a full-fledged revolution.
The Smartphone Coup
For a truly dying technology, we have to differentiate between a violent coup and, say, a disorderly protest. One changes everything, while the other might get a law passed.
From the current vantage point, it appears the smartphone is one of the game-changers.
"These kinds of Swiss Army-knife things that today we call cell phones and tablets are going to put a lot of pressure on single-function boxes," says iSuppli analyst Jordan Selburn. "Anything that does only one function is at risk."
Indeed, smartphones could change the items we put in our pockets before work: keys, money, and credit cards. And many single-use devices that have revolutionized life in the last few decades are bound for the landfill due to smartphones: MP3 players, cameras, PDAs, dash-mounted GPS systems.
Looking ahead, more game-changers are in store, though when we look too far ahead it's hard to see beyond the peak of inflated expectations. Nearing those heights are technologies at least five years out, including 3D printing, mobile robots, and a wide variety of "human augmentation" techniques to help people function better. For the time being, we'll stay away from predictions on those fronts.
