The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women
Image by DES Daughter
Exploding the Estrogen Myth, by Barbara Seaman
With the ardent tone of a close friend, Barbara Seaman draws on forty years of journalistic research to expose the "menopause industry" and shows how estrogen therapy often causes more problems—including breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke—than it cures. The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women tracks the well-intentioned discovery of synthetic estrogen through the unconscionable and misleading promotion of a dangerous drug.
Barbara Seaman's groundbreaking book traces the history of estrogen use from its early purveyors, including a well-meaning British doctor who lost control of the marketing of DES and therefore inadvertently led to the DES baby crisis, to Nazi experimentation with women and estrogen, to the present, and looks at how an experiment of this proportion could have been conducted without oversight, intervention, or real knowledge as to what its effects would be.
Barbara Seaman turns up essential, often shocking, information that should have been part of public awareness but, only now, is coming to light. Read amazon reviews and GoodReads reviews

Being pregnant comes with an increase in risk to the health of you and your unborn child. Today we look at the connection between migraines during pregnancy and how this affects you and your babys health.
Experiencing migraines while pregnant has been linked to an increase in the chance of having a stroke, according to a study in the United States. It found that you were fifteen times more likely to have a stroke compared to woman who were not pregnant.
Information was collated from over 33,000 pregnant women who were also experiencing migraines.
Age has been found to be a contributing factor, as a woman above 40 is almost two and a half times more likely to suffer from migraines during her pregnancy than a woman who is under twenty. A white woman will have more migraines than a woman of another race or ethnicity.
Migraines have also been linked to a rise in the risk of heart disease, blood clots, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. They suggest it is possible that the migraine itself is an indication that the cardiovascular system is not working as well as it should be.
The authors suggest that the most logical explanation for the findings lies in the interaction between migraines and the normal physiological changes during pregnancy (such as increased blood volume and heart rate) which put extra stress on the vascular system.
Past research has indicated that the cells that form the inner wall of blood vessels (endothelial cells), may not operate as well in people who suffer from migraines during pregnancy.
The findings continue to solidify the belief that migraines, and especially those with an aura or visual change at the same time, are linked to women also suffering heart disease and strokes.

Q. This is either an urban legend or a friend is playing a joke on me. She says that if you sleep with a bar of soap (not Dove or deodorant kind) the restless leg syndrome (RLS) will not occur.
She swears that she read this someplace and that it worked for a relative. Since it was non-invasive, I slept with a bar of soap for two weeks. No RLS, but I still had leg cramps.
Is this a placebo? Mind over-matter? It is NOT logical! Have you ever heard of such a thing?
A. Your friend may have read about the soap remedy in our column. We agree that putting a bar of soap under the bottom sheet is illogical. Like most remedies, it has never been tested scientifically. But we have heard from many readers that it helps prevent their cramps. Here is one:
"I have had severe leg cramps for years. When I read about putting a bar of soap in bed, I got a bar of Ivory and put it under the bottom sheet near my legs. It's been a month since I did that, and I have not had one leg cramp."
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) differs from leg cramps in that the person feels the urge to move the legs frequently. It too can interfere with sleep.
We have collected a wide range of remedies for these conditions in our new Guide to Leg Pain.

What to Do With Those Extra 15 MinutesBy
Have 15 minutes to spare? A growing number of companies are finding ways to help people work snippets of culture and entertainment into their busy lives.
Earlier this week New York Public Radio launched a new "Discover" feature within its WNYC app. Users type in how much time they have to listen, and the app automatically downloads a custom mix of radio segments to fill that slot. "Take it on your commute, it works underground," suggests NYPR, an affiliate of National Public Radio, in an online video. "Take it jogging … or listen while you're cooking."
Discover also delivers an element of surprise. Essentially a Pandora for public radio's talk programs, it selects shows based on each user's stated topic preferences—politics to pop culture, business to books. The app pulls content from local stations WNYC and WQXR, as well as national NPR shows such as Planet Money, This American Life, All Things Considered, and Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me.
Podcasts aside, there's also a growing number of tools for readers on the go. Longreads, a site offering quality long-form stories online, has long included a feature that tells readers approximately how much time is required per story (anywhere from 15 minutes to more than an hour).
Now there's also an iPhone app called Rooster designed to feed books to busy people in bite-size chunks. Launched on March 11, Rooster sends two novels to your phone each month, one classic and one contemporary. This month's pairing, according to the Washington Post, is Herman Melville's Billy Budd and a literary thriller titled I Was Here, written for Rooster's serialized format by Rachel Kadish. Next month's offering will be The Mind-Body Problem, a 1983 novel by the philosopher Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, and The Kreutzer Sonata, by Tolstoy. The books arrive in easily digestible installments. "A 500-page novel may seem daunting to dig into when tackled head on, but when broken into 15-minute segments, it's clear how easily it can fit into readers' lives," the company says.
Rooster subscribers pay $4.99 a month for the app, which lets them adjust text size, font style, and background color for maximum iPhone reading comfort. By choosing books, Rooster also aims to eliminate that feeling of paralysis sometimes inflicted by too many options.
Plympton, the San Francisco media tech startup behind Rooster, has a long list of influential backers, including Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and Andrew McCollum, co-founder of Facebook. Clearly, they believe—or hope—this app will help boost our meager fiction intake: According to a survey conducted last year by YouGov and the Huffington Post, 41 percent of Americans hadn't read a single work of fiction in the previous year.


text: You can't ignore the social media phenomenon that is #TBT (Throw Back Thursday). If for some reason you haven't heard of it the concept is simple. On Thursday's you post an old picture of yourself to social media. I am a fan of TBT. I really enjoy looking at old pictures of people. Most of the people in my life I didn't know when they were younger so I think it is totally cool to see what Little So-And-So looked like. Today The Show is starting a TBT bit. Now on Thursday's we will do a classic bit or play a classic game. One of the good ones from back in the day that we haven't done in a few years. So I figured in honor of that I would do a TBT pic on my blog. Who knows, maybe I'll start doing this every Thursday. Here I am as a sophomore in high school….braces and all…...taking my super cool cheerleading picture. Go Mustangs!!!!

Polish after wetsanding
My partner and I have just completed wetsanding our most recent project. We buffed afterwards using a variable speed dewalt buffer (set at 1,400 rpm) and 3M medium cut. The results were outstanding (no more orange peel...wooo!!!). We're finishing out with meguars swirl remover 2.0 and a good polish pad on the buffer.
Per the instructions we stop the buffer when the polish has mostly disipated. It says to "wipe the excess with a towel". This is fairly bogus though...it leaves quite a bit of residue on the surface. Any suggestions on how to do a final clean? With water and a towel it leaves a light haze.... Thanks for the help!!
I pretty sure you can just wash it with water& a real {natural} car wash sponge & chamois it dry with a "absorber synthetic chamois.
Who know they might have some new" high tech after polishing car wash lotion"...
sorry some old school sarcasm

Sometimes on a real dark color I have to go over it by hand, even
after swirl remover. Meguiars has some polish that is wax free and
real mild that I use.
I also have a polisher that is really slow that works good for the final buff
on these tough ones.
Good to see you got to buffing Mrharris. Did you figure out the problem on the hood? I can only say this. I use 3m perfect it glaze on a foam pad after I have finished getting the wetsanding scratches out with a courser compound. A little goes a long ways. I start out at a little lower rpm doing a section and speed up a little as it works in moving a little faster with the buffer with longer motions, to clean and polish it off. I do like to wash the compound off when done with that step or at least get rid of most of it wiped off with a wet chamois before the swirl remover or glaze. You don't need a ton of that applied to the surface you are doing. You can clean a foam pad with something like a toothbrush while carefully spinning the pad or by blowing it with an airhose. If you get too much of it built up on the pad or apply a real lot, it seems to make more work or mess and can get it sticking to the surface. Don't know if that happens more cause too much is built up or it got a little too heated up in that spot. If it sticks in a spot, wipe that off with a wet finger or a chamois before continuing. After all is done though you still wash the car to get rid of excess on the car as well as detailing getting all the compounds out of door jambs and cracks on the car. Then after its washed in dryed, I will sometimes go over the car by hand with something like race glaze by hand before delivering. They apply and wipe off fairly easily by hand. Just make sure you don't use any kind of wax which will seal it. That fresh paint needs time to breath. By the way post some pics when your done.

Clean between steps with either wax and grease remover or 50/50 mix of alcohol and water... put them in spray bottles... either one... besides you should not leave the compound residue on the car when you begin to polish or you will never have a swirl free finish. and either one of these products pulls out the glazes that are in compound and lets you see what the panel really looks like onced buffed... then move to the next step and use the cleaner there to until it is the way you like it ... when all said and done wash like normal and dry off... I use a super absorber to take water off my stuff
I personally use nothing but Meguires products and have great results. Meguires sand paper cuts more uniform than 3M and the "Power Buffing" compound is AMAZING. As far as where you are at right now, there is nothing, nothing PERIOD (as far as I have ever found and I have tried a number of them) anything better than Mequires "Mirror Glaze #7" for a final glaze by hand.
I got a call the other night from my brother who told me his Roadster was being shot the next day for a mag (Rodders Journal) and that it needs a "Mirror Glazing". I didn't have any, I was headed over and was going to use something else but thought, there is NO WAY it will look as good. I called on my cel and found a store still open with some "#7" and went across town to buy it.
I hadn't detailed out a show finish in years to tell you the truth. I just don't do that anymore. Well I jumped on that Roadster like old times with that #7 and it looked like a MIRROR (hence then name ) in about an hour. I hadn't seen the car look like that since 1995 when it was shown in the Oakland Roadster show. There were a few spots that I had to hand rub scratches out, no be deal, no big mess, just hand rubbing. I then attacked it with the Mirro Glaze and it looked like a MILLION BUCKS, near Flawless.
It is a strange product, you wipe it on with a VERY wet rag of the product. You RUB it into the finish and even apply a second or third "coat" keeping it very wet and rubbing and rubbing. Then using a dry soft rag (I had my favorite, an old flannel Pajamas!) to "polish" it off. You need to flip the wiping cloth over to cleaner sides often. Start with the "dirtiest" side (dirty with Mirror glaze on it, NOT "dirty" with dirt) to get the majority of it off the surface and then switch to a cleaner side and then switch to an perfect side for final polishing.
It is a very oily like product and will not wipe off easy but after you get the hang of it you can knock something out pretty fast.
I know there are lots of ways to do this, but Mirror Glaze has been a mainstay as long as I can remember. There was a time you would go to a show and see Mirror Glaze bottles beside every car on set up night. In fact, not until about 1980 or so it wasn't sold retail at all. It was a "professional" product sold thru paint stores only. Now you can pick it up at Kragens and the like.
Does that stuff ever "flash"?
See I know there different but the waxes I use will flash kinda like paint & then come off easier than if you try to take it off wet.
Is ther HIGH humidity there?
Also have you tried taking it off with a nice soft towel then going over it with the super soft flannel?
The reason I ask is because the towel has more surface area {the nooks & crannies}
But I have found that I will use 3 or 4 towels when removing when one starts to get "tacky" then I hang it up or drape it over a hood of another car in the sun to dry it out.

I used to call #7 "suntan lotion", hehe. It makes the car look like a million bucks but it will wash off! Don't get me wrong I love #7, it is awesome for showroom shine, but it is made to make the car look good for the day, and really doesn't do anything to eliminate haze.
If the buff job is hazy it needs more work with a foam pad and a glaze with very fine abrasive. Not all glazes have this fine cutting action which is absolutely necessary if you want the paint to look its best.
Usually what I have to do when buffing is when I think the paint looks good, buff some more! When the compound is totally cleaned off, there will be spots that didn't get hit enough if you don't overkill it just a little.
And THEN use #7!
My 2¢
mrharris, after the compounding stage give it a good wash with soapy water, dishsoap works good and sometimes I use liquid laundry detergent Purex. You want all that oily compound residue off the surface and these soaps will do that with ease. Then dry and inspect with a flourescent light. Look over every square inch of the surface to make sure all of the colorsanding scratches are gone. If you see any scratches break the compound back out and remove then wash again. Then go over the surface with a polish and a new clean pad. 3M's old finesse it still is one of my favorites and also their machine glaze. Again you must wash and inspect. After the polish step it should be looking flawless and I usually stop there or go to a hand applied glaze. After 30 days in use you might have a few surface wash type scratches and then polish again and apply some quality wax. Cleaning between steps is a must for a perfect buff. Bob

Philadelphia City Council begins review of demolition practices
Philadelphia City Council members had some tough questions today for top city officials at the first of a series of hearings on demolition practices.
Council formed a special committee to investigate demolition procedures after the Market Street building collapse that killed six people earlier this month.
Deputy Mayor Everitt Gillison and Licenses and Inspections Commissioner Carlton Williams were the first to testify.
Williams told Councilman Curtis Jones that whether to evaculate occupied buildings near a demolition site is a case by case decision.
"So tell me what factors at the site would warrant you saying 'we might want to vacate this [building]'? Jones asked.
"It's very difficult to give you that answer," Gillison said. "If an imminently dangerous building is ready to collapse, then we [will] notify the residents right away to vacate the premises."
Councilman Jim Kenney asked Gillison to say specifically how city demolitions are held to a higher standard than those in the private sector.
"I think the question is that we're responsible as project manager for the ones that we do," Gillison said. "They are responsible for handling their issues."
Days after fatal incident, Mayor Michael Nutter announced higher standards for private demolitions.
The committee has announced four more hearings on June 27, July 11, Aug. 1, and August 13.

I refuse to believe I'm a PJ ....
BUT I did buy 2 containers of Lustrasilk Shea and Mango and I love how it makes my hair feel. I made a whole other concoction out of it though. I heated up some real mango butter, shea butter, and poured it into the Lustrasilk container and mixed it up. I also added a little bit of aloe vera juice and coconut oil. Yeah by the time I was done with that container it wasn't Lustrasilk anymore LOL So anyway with doing that I was able to double the container plus I knew what was really in it. I used it on myself and my daughters.

Pregnant Ivanka Trump Goes Ice Cream Peddling
Her pregnancy looks to be treating her well, and Ivanka Trump was spotted out making rounds in Toronto, Canada on Thursday (May 12).

Word of the Day, November 28, 2013
" I lift my life, lift my life up. I give it all in surrender. I lift my heart, lift my heart up. You can have it forever. All my dreams, all my plans. Lord, I leave it in Your hands. I lift my life, lift my life up. Have Your way in me, Have Your way in me."
Psalms 105:1, Psalms 106:1, Psalms 107:1
105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
107:1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
" O give thanks unto the LORD, Praise ye the LORD and O give thanks unto the LORD." This is what we should be doing today, giving thanks to our LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
I sat in church last night and I am listening to my pastor speak my thoughts for the Word of the Day and I am thinking now I can't use this, but I can because most of you were not there last night with me and I also believe it was confirmation that I should share the same message because it is all of God's doing to preach HIS word to let us all know that we are to be full of thanksgiving for God being in our lives. We need to live a life of gratitude for the God that gave us life.
These prayers of David were prayers of thanksgiving and a testimony to his people of God's love and grace to believers. He speaks of God's goodness and His mercy bestowed upon us. Psalms 105 is often call a hymn of praise because it includes a call to praise, a cause to praise and a conclusion of praise and worship. It tells us to clearly give thanks, call upon, make known, sing, talk and on and on about our Father God.
Chapter 106 this psalm is one of national lament. This chapter has three key sections also, first a call to praise, a confession of Israel's past sins and the psalmist finishes with a two part petition for his people, save us God and gather us all and to give thanks and to triumph.
Chapter 107 speaks of a call to praise, thanks God for the rescuing from various types of distress the people suffered like the wandering in the wilderness, from prisons, from deadly misery and stormy seas and how the LORD rescued them. They gave God praise for doing this for them. Oh, that men would praise the LORD. The chapter drives home to the Israelites the truths that God is faithful and gracious to His people.
These three chapters show us a story how the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God can carry us through the bad times, His love and grace and we as believers, understand the righteousness and rejoice, meditation among the wise believers and this will silence the wicked.
This is what we are to do daily, give thanksgiving and praise to our Father God. We need to be thankful for our families, our jobs and our friends, but what we really need to be thankful is the gift of salvation of Christ's death. Give thanks for all today that God has done in your life and thank Him for his breath of life into us.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families today. Every year at my families' thanksgiving dinner, we go around the room and say what we are thankful for. Today, I will be thankful to my Father God for His grace and mercy, thankful for my family and thankful that I am with them this year. GIVE God THE GLORY!
I ask today that you take a moment and pray for the families that can't be together this Thanksgiving. The men and woman serving our country, the men and woman of the police and fire departments protecting us here at home, the men and women that are in prisons and LORD, I ask for the men and women that are separated because of grief, strife or angry at their families or their families are at them, that you give them a forgiving heart and for them to reach out to each with a thankful heart. Jesus did, why can't we do the same.
Give Thanksgiving unto our LORD today!
Timothy Furness

350 Ignition
I recently became the proud owner of a 72 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with a 350 and automatic. It has the original distributer and I want to change to a electronic version. I will also want to put on an aluminum intake and headers. I notice that a lot of the dist. don't come with vacuum advance. I assume these are for newer engines. The question is: Does anyone have any recommendations at to distributor, intake and headers? I am not trying to build a lot of horsepower just want something more efficient and reliable.
I have seen a lot on how good the Edelbrock intakes are. Would this be the way to go? I also want to add a MSD pack. Does this work with all dist.? Is this really worth putting on or is just the new dist. enough. I understand the MSD has multiple spark control so it should get a better burn.
If you are going to put a multispark box on. I recommend the MSD. I have tried the Crane box and was getting backfires through the carb. I contacted Crane and they said there were compatability issues between their box and the MSD dist. I put in an MSD box and had no problem.
Mallory builds a distributor which is half the price of the MSD but again you are mixing parts. Stick with one brand.
MSD builds 2 dist that would suit you. The 8360 ready to run with firewall mounted coil or the 8365 MSD HEI.
They build several multi spark boxes. The cheapest (not having rev limiters) is the 6A. Which is suitable for a truck.
The Edelbrock Performer intake is designed for truck application. Making power and torque from 0 to 5500 rpm.
If you plan on running the truck into higher rpm ranges. I suggest the MSD 6AL multi spark box and the Edelbrock performer/rpm intake.

Wounded by insurgents in Afghanistan, two Australian soldiers are in the middle of a long and frustrating battle to recover. Adding to the challenge, later this year they will compete in a 300-kilometre race to the South Pole.
Corporal Seamus Donaghue, from Brisbane, and Private Heath Jamieson, from Sydney, will join two wounded Canadian soldiers to form the Commonwealth Team which will compete against the United States and Britain (to include Prince Harry).
The trek is to raise awareness of the injuries suffered by soldiers during war, and the strength, courage and support required for their rehabilitation. It is a partnership between Australian charity Soldier On and its British counterpart, Walking With The Wounded.
The three teams will race across Antarctica in temperatures of minus 45 degrees and winds of 90km/h. The Aussies have already undertaken cold-weather training in Iceland, with more scheduled before the December trek.
Private Jamieson was shot in the neck in 2011, and had to learn to walk again. He returned to work in February. Corporal Donaghue was shot in the thigh in 2010, resulting in a shattered femur and nerve damage to his leg.
"[Recovery is] a long and frustrating process," said Corporal Donaghue, who is currently posted to the Soldier Recovery Centre in Brisbane. ''It's good that we get involved with this and hopefully inspire others in similar situations that amazing things are possible.''
The ADF Chief of Army, Lieutenant-General David Morrison, in announcing the men as Australian representatives in the race, said his money was on the Commonwealth Team winning the race.
''The Australian Army is a competitive organisation, we always have been throughout our 112 years of history,'' he said. ''We compete in the most arduous place of all, the battlefield.''
Prince Harry helped launch the expedition last week, sparking friendly rivalry by offering to make cups of tea when they cross the line after the British team. ''I think we'll have one waiting for him,'' Private Jamieson quipped back.

Almeida is an "on-campus" residence hall with a twist! When you live in Almeida, you're choosing to live in an apartment complex two miles away from main campus while still reaping all the benefits of living in a residence hall. Don't have a car? That's okay! There is a shuttle bus that runs about every 30-minutes between the hours of 7am and 2am on weekdays, and about every hour from 10:30am to 2am on the weekends. Click here for a more detailed shuttle schedule.
Almeida consists of three large, separate buildings and a series of units called the Flats and Townhouses.
The "200", "300" and "400" buildings have approximately 22 apartments. There are ten one-bedroom apartments available for three residents and 12 two-bedroom apartments for four residents. Each apartment is carpeted, fully furnished, and equipped with a living room, kitchen with a full-sized electric stove/oven and refrigerator, dining room area, and bathroom. Each building has three floors with entrances located on the second floor and a laundry room on the first floor.
The "Flats" are two buildings with five entrances in each building. The buildings are the Flats Odd-Side and the Flats Even-side. Each entrance houses 4 one-bedroom apartments housing two residents. Each apartment is carpeted, fully furnished, and equipped with a living room, kitchen with a full-sized electric stove/oven and refrigerator, dining room area, bathroom.
There are a total of 12 Townhouses - ten are designated for undergraduate housing and two house professional staff. The apartments are actually a series of shared two-bedroom, three person Townhouses (a shared-two person bedroom and a private-one person bedroom). Each Townhouse comes fully furnished with a common living room, kitchen, dining area, bathroom and two bedrooms. Each bedroom is furnished with twin extra-long bed, desk, desk chair, and a bureau per person. There is plenty of closet space. The apartments are fully carpeted with the exception of the bedrooms which have hardwood floors.
The Townhouses are two-story apartments with individual entrances. The first floor has a 330-square-foot kitchen, dining area, living room and 1/2 bath with laundry services. On the second floor are both bedrooms (165 sq. ft - shared bedroom and 115 sq. ft. - private bedroom), full bathroom, and linen closet. There is a special selection process for the undergraduate townhouses and priority is given to those students with senior status.
While Almeida is equipped with private kitchens, residents can still participate in the University's board plan in the Dining Hall. Board options range from full board plans (Cart Blanche Platinum or Gold Plans) to the 125 Block Plan which is ideal for apartment dwellers. This plan can average 7-8 meals per week in the main dining hall and $400 in Hawk Dollars throughout the semester.
The staff of the Almeida Apartments is comprised of one Coordinator of Residence Education, one Graduate Assistant, one Head Resident Assistant and seven Resident Assistants. The Coordinator of Residence Education serves to oversee the day-to-day operation of the complex, including supervision of the residence hall staff. The Graduate Assistant lives in the flats and assists the department with graduate and law housing. The seven RAs and HRA live 2-each in the three apartment buildings and the flats.
While Almeida offers students the experience of an off-campus residential environment, all University policies remain in effect.

Oyster Card Data Opens Platform For Competitive Commuting
Online multiplayer gaming harnesses the untapped well of data that is the London Oyster Card to add game dynamics to the average tube journey.
Underground railway stations in both New York and London are sources of fascination and intrigue, but the actual experience of transit remains the same exercise in inhospitable expediency for most commuters.
Chromaroma is an online multi-player game that aims to change that, and the behaviour of tube users by awarding participating commuters points for every station visited. The competitors can also earn bonus points for visiting new tube stations and from missions such as avoiding rush hour, and all achievements can be automatically posted to Twitter and Facebook.
The designers hope the project will encourage commuters to stitch together a new, participative, map of how the London Transport network can be used. The game will go live in late 2010 and participants can register to play at the Chromaroma website

text: It's interesting that Anderson Cooper was named to Out Magazine's Top 50 most powerful gay people in America when he has never actually confirmed that he is gay. Sure, I think it is pretty much an open secret, but there are lots of people who don't know that secret. Plus, can you really be on of the top 50 gay people in America if you have never confirmed you are gay? What if Anderson tells Out that he is straight? To be a powerful gay person, doesn't everyone have to know you are gay?

Continuing support for the Games for Health Conference to generate larger-scale impacts
This grant will provide Digitalmill with an additional three years of declining support for the Games for Health Conference and support for an effort to conduct and make public early development work on health games for everyone (HG4E); that is, health games that can have a population-level impact. Although the health-games space has come a long way since the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation first got involved, the HG4E work in this project will help remove the risks to building such games by conducting initial development work and making that work available under a Creative Commons license, or something similar. Deliverables will include three Games for Health Conferences and preproduction materials, including relevant health content, game concepts, and recommended modifications to existing software, if necessary, for up to12 game areas, released publicly.
Grant Details
Amount Awarded $787,550.00

Apple's "Resume" feature in OS X Lion allows the system to save the current state of a program and, in conjunction with its auto-save feature, will restore both saved and unsaved documents as they were when you quit the program. This feature is convenient because it allows you to install application and system updates, or otherwise quit applications with little interruption to your workflow; however, in some situations it may not be a desired option to have.
Resume works by saving a profile of your current application's state within your user library folder in the /username/Library/Saved Application State/ folder, and then the system's launch services accesses this profile when the application is next launched. This allows Resume to work for any application, and does not require applications to be built with Resume support.
While Resume is overall a convenient option to have, in some instances it may be undesired. For example, in some programs you might regularly view or read private or legal documents that you might not wish to have reopened automatically whenever you open the program. To tackle this, Apple's approach is to have you either close the document before you quit the program, or quit it while holding the Option key to automatically close all windows before the program quits.
Unfortunately forgetting to close documents is easy to do at times, and you might wish instead to never have the system save and resume the window configuration for a specific program. While there is no manager utility or other interface for enabling or disabling resume features on a per-application basis, you can still do this in several ways in OS X.
- Lock configuration folders
The first option is to make use of Apple's file locking features to prevent editing of a program's window configuration folder. To do this, open the program and ensure all windows in it are closed. Then quit the program and go to the user library folder by holding the Option key and choosing "Library" from the "Go" menu. When this is done, go to the "Saved Application State" directory and locate the folder for your program (it should be named something like "com.developer.appname.savedState"). When you have located the directory, get information on it by right-clicking it and selecting get-info, and check the box in the "General" section of the info window to lock the folder.
- Set hidden preferences
Locking of the savedState folder is one approach and is convenient because it allows you to manage all the saved states in one directory, and given that locking a file puts a visible lock image on the folder's icon, it allows you to quickly preview which saved states are enabled or disabled. However, you can also perform a similar action by enabling a hidden preferences variable for the desired programs. To do this, first locate the saved state for the program of interest and get the name of the saved state folder, which as mentioned above should have the name of the developer and application in it (e.g., com.apple.TextEdit, or com.apple.iWork.Pages).
These names represent the defaults domain for the target program, and can be used to set their preferences using the "defaults" Terminal command. By running the following command, you will enable the hidden "NSQuitAlwaysKeepWindows" variable for the target program and prevent the system from using the Resume feature for it (replace the word "DOMAIN" with the domain name of the program of interest):
defaults write DOMAIN NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
To undo this setting, you can either repeat it but use "true" instead of "false" at the end, or run the following variant to delete the variable entry altogether:
defaults delete DOMAIN NSQuitAlwaysKeepWindows

Last month, a defiant Tony Blair appeared before the Chilcot inquiry into the origin of the war in Iraq and bluntly said that he had "not a regret" about joining with his buddy, George Bush, and having his nation participate in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. However, a new book by Andrew Rawnsley, "The End Of The Party," reveals a very different tale. According to the account revealed in the book, former prime minister Tony Blair went into a deep depression after the invasion and apparently had many regrets as to what he helped initiate. Several times he told friends that he was "spaced out" and that he awoke in the morning with sweat trickling down his back due to the tension of having his nation at war.
It appears throughout the war, Blair and Gordon Brown conducted their own personal war. Brown was infuriated that Blair went back on his promise to resign in 2004 so that Brown could become prime minister. Most probably, the bottom line is that a Gordon Brown government would not have changed Iraq policy and today we would be angry at Brown, not Blair. I guess it comes down to which "B" comes first.

Cooler YETI Tundra 105 Tan
The Tundra 105 is the Paul Bunyan of the YETI line: tall, powerful and rugged. The extra headroom allows you to stack this durable cooler high with food and drinks, giving you more capacity and longer ice retention in a smaller footprint so it takes up less room in your truck or boat. The single-piece construction and molded-in hinges and tiedowns are built to last through all your adventures. If youre taking the Tundra 105 on the water, it doubles as a seat in the front center console of your boat because nature abhors a waste of space. The military-grade nylon handles make for easy maneuvering even when fully loaded, and the grizzly-proof design will foil even the most determined bear.

Why Evolution Is True (original 2009; edition 2010)
by Jerry A. Coyne
Work details
Why Evolution Is True by Jerry A. Coyne (2009)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Sort of an evolutionary-science-for-dummies. The book does a good job explaining concepts like speciation, gradualism, etc. for laymen like me. It is also an argument against Creationism, but that too often feels belabored, not to mention a straw man. Still, I really liked the examples, and the e-book included a lot of links to youtube videos and websites, which was fun.
ჩემი აზრით ეს წიგნი ყველამ უნდა წაიკითხოს, განსაკუთრებით სტუდენტებმა და მოსწავლეებმა. რადგან ევოლუცია და ჩვენი წარმოშობა უმნიშვნელოვანესი საკითხია, ეს წიგნი კი კარგი შესავალი წინამდებარე საკითხში - თუ რატომ უნდა დავუჯეროთ ამ თეორიას.
ევოლუცია ძალიან დიდი თემაა თუმცა ჯერი კოინმა კარგად მოახერხა ევოლუციის მტკიცებულებების მნიშვნელოვანი ნაწილი მოექცია მცირე წიგნში. შეხვდებით ბევრ საინტერესო მტკიცებულებას, ნამარხებიდან, ბიოგეოგრაფიიდან, ევოლუციური ნარჩენი და ატავისტური ორგანოებიდან, მოლეკულური ბიოლოგიიდან, ცუდი დიზაინიდან,
ასევე საინტერესო მტკიცებულებები, ლაბორატორიული ექპსერიმენტებიდან, დაკვირვება ველურ ბუნებაზე და ა.შ.
პირადად რამდენიმე ჩემთვის ახალი ფაქტის და იდეის შესახებ შევიტყვე, როგორიცაა სექსუალური სელექციის და კულტურის კოევოლუცია, რადიომეტრული ნახევარ დაშლის ტემპის გადამოწმება უძველესი მარჯნის მეშვეობით და ა.შ.
თუმცა ჯერი კოინის "რატომაა ევოლუცია მართალი" მხოლოდ კარგი შესავალია. უფრო დაწვრილებით შეგიძლიათ იხილოთ ავტორის მიერ შემოთავაზებული წიგნები. ჩემი მხრივ დავამატებდი არდეა სქაიბრიკის "ევოლუციური მეცნიერება და კრეაციონიზმის მითი" რომელიც უფრო მეტი აგრესიულობით და ფართო კრიტიკით გამოირჩევა კრეაციონიზმის მიმართ და ბუნებრივ გადარჩევას და სახეობების წარმოშობას უფრო დაწვრილებით გვაცნობს.
This is one the best books on evolution that I read and it certainly clarified a number of issues for me. Coyne writes well and provides full explanations in easy to understand language. He has an uncanny ability to anticipate questions: many a times I found myself reading a paragraph and forming questions like "...but what about...?" only to find this same question with its answer a few paragraphs below - sometimes it was unnerving!
Coyne is also an unbiased writer as he will tell you whether or not the evidence exist even for the things that he has developed a preference. For example, although he seems to favour the "good gene" model as an explanation of sexual selection (i.e., females select males who have, in their estimation, good genes) he also says that there are only two studies that support this theory, while many other studies do not.
The book covers the gamut of the evidence in support of evolution: genetic, laboratory studies, the fossil record, vestigial organs, embryology, mathematical models, accurate predictions of the theory, geographic distribution of species, replication of evolutionary outcomes by mixing species that were suspected to form the parents of the new species and finally bad design (i.e., evolutionary left-overs the are not optimal biologically and would not have been there if someone had created that species from scratch, e.g., the descenting human testicle). The evidence is not only overwhelming, but robust. Which raises the question "how could any sane person not accept the theory"? Or "how could there still be controversy as to whether or not it is true?"...more on this momentarily.
The only negative thing I have to say about this book is a statement that Coyne makes twice (probably an oversight). He says that "the theory of evolution" is a fact. But it is not "the theory" that is a fact but rather "evolution". The theory contains more than just facts that prove evolution . It contains explanations about how and why evolution happens and as he says there is still controversy about the relative importance of the mechanisms that bring about evolution.
I would also like to make a semantic point about the discussion on randomness versus non-randomness in evolution by selection. Coyne says that the genetic mutations (both incorrect copies of genes and gene drift) that are necessary to create a genetically variant population and hence enable evolution are random, but natural selection is not. Well, if a population is genetically variant and a random natural phenomenon happens (the example that Coyne provides is rise of the land bridge between north and south America), then which mutations are stuck on which side of the Panama canal is also random and hence their evolution happens because of two random events: a) the geological event and b) the location at which the species with the particular mutations found itself stuck by chance. So it is not clear to me what we mean here by "natural selection" being none-random. Yes, given a distribution of genetic variants and an environment, then natural selection will select the fitter genes. But both the location of the "fitter" genes (being on the east or the west side of the Panama canal) and the geological event are random events - natural selection has to work with what it has it cannot make up things! Furthermore, "fitter" is a relative concept, not an absolute concept. A gene is fitter given what else is in that environment. But what other species got isolated on the west side of Panama canal was also a random event and natural selection may have made a different selection if some of those species did not happen to get isolated by chance. In any case this is not an important issue.
I now come to the issue of Intelligent Design and the resistance to the evolutionary evidence by those who believe in ID. I would classify the ID supporters into two groups: the first group consists of snake-oil salesmen. They sell ID not because they believe in it, but because they profit from doing so. Although these guys are morally despicable and annoying, they are not the real problem since if the activity becomes unprofitable they will simply abandon it and move on to the next con-job. Then we have the second group who really believes in ID. Michael McGuire in his book Believing: The Neuroscience of Fantasies, Fears, and Convictions mentions the case of a woman patient of his who, although rational in other issues, believed that her parents were not her real parents. And she believed this despite of all the evidence provided to her by her parents, grandparents, the hospital and other friends and relatives who were around when she was born! According to McGuire, we form beliefs all the time about everything and the job of our brain is to reduce the distance between evidence and the belief. And if the evidence do not exist, our brain will make it up. But why should our brains make up evidence in support of ID? I would argue that this is so because of the costs and benefits involved. Some people's belief in God is tightly connected to their need to believe in afterlife. And this issue is much more important to them than the belief in evidence-based explanations of the origin of species. As such, these folks' brains will make up whatever they need to maintain their belief in God and hence afterlife.
So, are these folks a lost cause then, similar in nature to people who suffer from schizophrenia? I think so.
Is there a point in trying to argue with them rationally? Trying to convince them that, say, morality is not going to suffer if we believe in evolution and that people who believed in ID from 4,000 BC to about 1945 were severely more morally depraved and brutal to each other then today's atheists or liberal-minded people? I don't think so. It is just a waist of time and energy.
So is there anything we could do? Yes, I think the solution is not to try to convince them of their erroneous beliefs by rational arguments and evidence, but rather to give them a way out so they can believe in ID and evolution at the same time! How is this possible? Well, evolution says nothing about the rise of the first cell organism. Where and How did it come about? So we could point them to a theory that says that God knew exactly what he was doing when he created the conditions that gave rise to the first single-cell organism. This was the "divine spark" that was needed to start evolution! And this is what the Bible means when it talks allegorically about Adam and Eve. The rest took care of itself and God did not really have to be involved in the minutia of evolution since he knew the outcome anyway (let's not forget that he omniscient). This way there is no contradiction between the theory of evolution and God's books, since evolution does not try to explain that part. But, one could argue, this will only push the inevitable conflict into some distant point in the future. It does not solve anything. True, but in the meantime we can go on teaching evolution at schools and not teaching ID...and who knows what will happen after several generations have been brought up in this model.
Finally, evolutionary biologists need to get a bit more critical of evolutionary psychologists who are spoiling the field for them. Coyne talks about them and their "Just so" stories, but we need more of that. These guys should not even be considered as scientists. And perhaps the language needs to improve a bit. Although Coyne explains the randomness and purposelessness of evolution, other than genetic propagation, sometimes he even sounds like natural selection or species adaptations have some kind of intentionality. Even the words "natural selection" imply that "nature" has some kind of purpose or intention. Maybe it is time to leave Darwin's words behind?
Evolution is the most beautiful, astonishing and splendid thing to contemplate in all of creation. To me, it is more extraordinary than the workings of the cosmos or the details of the subatomic realm. I consider it a priviledge to have read enough on the topic to finally grasp it. Thanks to the crystal clarity and masterful giving-overness of this book, I feel I am now finally able to successfully debate this topic with anyone who has chosen the devil's advocate position. If challenged, I will keep Darwin's words in mind: "Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." A thoroughly enriching book.
WARNING: This book has the potential to make you start thinking like an Evolutionist.
I have read a couple other books on the same subject, but this one takes a deep-dive into the intricacies of various species. The entire book is very readable and there are quite a few 'WOW' moments I had while going through it.
Two chapters - How Sex Drives Evolution and What About Us, are what I found to be the most interesting ones.
3.6 million years ago Lucy stood on her legs and hence today I'm able to write this review. I've read about Lucy before, so it was nice recalling of her.
If you see how the reasoning works you'll understand this isn't particularly a problem for someone already committed to evolution in its totality. Because we all share a common ancestor, at some point reproduction had to evolve into the sexual realm, and because that has clearly happened, it must offer some kind of genetic advantage even if we don't know what it is. I don't know about you, but that sounds like faith in the absence of evidence to me.

Why evolution is more than just a theory: it is a fact
In all the current highly publicized debates about creationism and its descendant "intelligent design," there is an element of the controversy that is rarely mentioned-the evidence, the empirical truth of evolution by natural selection. Even Richard Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould, while extolling the beauty of evolution and examining case studies, have not focused on the evidence itself. Yet the proof is vast, varied, and magnificent, drawn from many different fields of science. Scientists are observing species splitting into two and are finding more and more fossils capturing change in the past-dinosaurs that have sprouted feathers, fish that have grown limbs.
Why Evolution Is True weaves together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Darwin. In crisp, lucid prose accessible to a wide audience, Why Evolution Is True dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms that this amazing process of change has been firmly established as a scientific truth.

While Washington may be fully engaged in sequestration theater, lots of American moms are too busy with their lives to pay much attention.
Terms like "chained CPI," "Bowles-Simpson," and "CR" are getting thrown around Washington with impunity. But, this isn't the language that moms speak around their kitchen tables. American moms are more worried about filling up their gas tank than the deficit. They are more concerned about the cost of college than the size of the Pentagon budget. Ideological battles over the budget won't pay for braces.
They don't expect Washington to fix all their problems. But, they also don't believe that Washington gets their problems.
These were the conclusions gleaned from two focus groups of so-called "Walmart moms" conducted for Walmart by Republican pollster Nicole McCleskey and Democratic pollster Margie Omero.
This bipartisan group of twenty moms from the suburbs Kansas City, Missouri and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania are at once both happy with the quality of their lives, yet still frustrated to still be struggling economically.
The most recent Gallup Confidence score captures this ambivalence as well. According to Gallup, "Americans continue to remain as upbeat about the economy as they have been at any point in the last five years… Still, the public continues to view the economy more negatively than positively as a whole and continues to rank it as the most important problem facing the country."
In other words, Americans no longer feel like they are drowning, but they still feel as if they are treading water.
I watched the Kansas City group and heard these women describe their lives as a constant balancing act.
Theresa, a 27-year old mom of a toddler and a social worker said the rising cost of gas is a daily struggle. "I drive 40 minutes to work each day. Some days I wonder if it's even worth it."
They want the best for their children, but are upset when they can't provide them much beyond the basics. Courtney, a 34-year old mom of two, told the story of how her son was able to go to a Kansas City Chiefs football game thanks to a free ticket. Even then, however, she had to drop him off across the street "because I couldn't afford the parking" at the stadium.
None of the women were going to use the $100 they got for participating in the focus group on a splurge for themselves. All said it would go to gas or groceries.
They don't think that folks in Washington have any idea what their lives are like. One woman noted that members of Congress are in "such a high bracket" that they don't get what it's like for people in the "real world, with real jobs."
They are turned off by the endless parade of politicians who promise to have "the answer" for creating more - and better paying - jobs. Pollsters Omero and McCleskey call it "job promise fatigue."
"They've heard it all before," they write, "and hearing it again in the State of the Union did not give them any additional confidence that it will actually happen this time... They are skeptical at new job promises. Until they see real jobs created for themselves, their neighbors and in their communities it will be hard for them to believe new promises."
Remarkably, however, these women are much more optimistic about the ability of Washington to work than those of us who cover it for a living. When asked to rate the likelihood of Congress "working to together" on a scale of one to ten - one being no hope and ten being very hopeful - the women averaged a six. If I took a similar survey among Washington insiders, I suspect the average would be closer to a two.
"If you don't have hope, what do you have?" said Courtney, who voted for Romney in 2012.
Republican pollster McCleskey explains, "They have adjusted their expectations, but it hasn't extinguished their hopes."
You hear that Congress? You listening up there at the White House? These women haven't completely given up on you. They are still willing to give you a shot to get this right. Unlike those of us here in DC, they don't assume that things like the sequester are inevitable. They aren't looking for a "grand bargain" or even a "medium one." They simply want their elected officials to help make their day-to-day lives just a little bit easier.

Field education, or "mentored ministry", is a deep and refreshing well our students draw from where classroom experience is applied and refined in the life and ministry of the church.
This opportunity is open to all students (upon approval) and 400 hours of practical experience are required for students pursuing the Master of Divinity. The primary purposes of the Field Education program are:
In addition to the above purposes our Field Education curriculum achieves, our curriculum is also unique in two ways. We require students attend 4 seminars hosted by local and national ministry leaders in an effort to expose students to a variety of ministry opportunities, the life and character of ministry leaders, and networking opportunities. We also require that 25 of the 400 hours are spent in personal evangelization, ensuring our students remain intentionally involved in the lives of nonbelievers and connected to their role in His story to fulfill the Great Commission.
A few examples of ways students may earn RTS field education credit include:
