Religious conservatives tout "intelligent design" as a "secular," "scientific" alternative to evolution
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State filed a lawsuit challenging the Dover (Pennsylvania) Area School District's adoption of the theory of "intelligent design" -- which maintains that an "intelligent force" has directed the evolution of life on earth -- as part of its schools' science curriculum on the grounds that it is a violation of the separation of church and state. Following reports [1] of the lawsuit on December 15, Reverend Pat Robertson expressed full support on The 700 Club for teaching the theory, and former Republican presidential candidate and MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan led a Scarborough Country panel discussion that was heavily imbalanced in favor of teaching "intelligent design" alongside evolution -- rejecting the idea that "intelligent design" is disguised creationism. Despite the efforts of Robertson and the majority of the Scarborough Country panel to characterize "intelligent design" as science-based, most scientists and educators dismiss it, with some identifying the formulation as a thinly veiled effort to dress up creationism as science, on a par with the theory of evolution.
According to the Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness Center [2] (IDEA), "intelligent design" is "a scientific theory" that maintains that "life is not the result of purely natural processes, but that it was in some way designed by an 'intelligence.'"
"Intelligent design" has found its strongest support in the media from religious conservatives who consider it a viable, scientific alternative to the theory of evolution. The heavily imbalanced December 15 Scarborough Country panel, led by Buchanan, promoted this view. The panel consisted of Albert Mohler [3], president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary [4]; Christian music artist Natalie Grant [5]; Republican strategist Jack Burkman [6]; and David Silverman, communications director for American Atheists [7] and the lone dissenting voice.
In the course of the discussion, Mohler -- who declared his belief in creationism -- lauded "intelligent design" as a "scientific" and "credible" alternative to evolution, which he described later as an "intellectual pacifier for the secular left":
MOHLER: It's dishonesty to suggest that intelligent design is the same as creationism.
Very clearly, intelligent design is a scientific theory that is a credible alternative to evolutionary theory, itself a theory. And, quite frankly, the vast majority of Americans, including the vast majority of American parents, believe that this theory ought to be taught alongside evolution. The vast majority of Americans don't accept that humanity came through the process of evolution.
Later, Buchanan asked Mohler about the distinction between creationism and "intelligent design," to which Mohler responded:
MOHLER: I believe in creation, in full biblical doctrine of creation. I'm a Christian theologian.
But when I'm speaking about intelligent design as a scientific theory, I do not expect the teacher in the public schools to come out and argue for or against creation. But the theory of intelligent design comes down to this. In the entire complexity of the universe as we know it, from something as complex as the human eye to glory of the sky and all the cosmos, all the planets and their proportion, there is more information necessary there than the theory of evolution can explain.
And, according to even evolutionary theory, the information has to be there. That theory can't account for how the information gets there ahead of the mutation or the change.
Grant supported "intelligent design" as a "balancing" theory to evolution:
GRANT: And if my child has to sit in the classroom and be taught that [evolution] as an option that's held in the world, why is it that my child cannot also sit in the classroom and be taught about intelligent design as a theory, as an option, so that a child can have a balanced education? If Dave [Silverman] says that it's mythology, whatever it is that he holds to, the bottom line is, it is a theory that is held by a majority of Americans, believe that there is a God.
Robertson declared his support of "intelligent design" on the December 15 edition of the Christian Broadcasting Network's The 700 Club. After referring to the ACLU and the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State as "crazies" and "extremists on the left who want to strip all vestige of religion from our national life," Robertson said: "There is no way to understand the universe unless we understand something about the fact that it could be 'intelligent design.'"
"Intelligent design" found some measure of credibility in the late 1990s, due in large part to the research of Baylor University mathematician William A. Dembski [8] and Lehigh University biochemist Michael J. Behe. [9] In 1998, Dembski applied the theory of "specified complexity" to biological systems in advocating "intelligent design." According to this theory, certain higher-level biological systems are too complex and so specific in function that the odds of them coming to be as a result of random genetic mutations are prohibitively low. In 1996, Behe introduced the idea of "irreducible complexity," which maintains that higher-order biological systems are complex to the point that they would cease to function should a single component be removed from them. Following this idea, the component functions are incapable of operating unless they are part of the whole, and therefore could not have ever existed separate from the whole, meaning the whole system must have been specifically engineered.
These theories have found little traction in the scientific community, however. Numerous critiques have been written of "specified complexity" and "irreducible complexity" questioning their scientific merit, and an August 13, 2002, National Center for Science Education (NCSE) resource article [10] written by NSCE director Eugenie C. Scott [11] noted that as of that point, Dembski's and Behe's theories had never been used in any published scientific research.
Scientific and educational communities have presented numerous critiques and criticisms of "intelligent design" as a whole (known commonly as ID), its merit as a scientific theory, and subsequently its suitability to be taught in science classrooms. The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) published a resolution [12] on "intelligent design" in 2002, in which the organization determined that proponents of the theory had "failed to offer credible scientific evidence to support their claim that ID undermines the current scientifically accepted theory of evolution," and had not "proposed a scientific means of testing its claims." Having reached those conclusions, the AAAS determined "that the lack of scientific warrant for so-called "intelligent design theory" makes it improper to include as a part of science education."
An article [13] from the December 21, 2004, Chronicle of Higher Education discussed the theories of both Behe and Dembski, and also pointed out that ID "has made no headway into the science curriculums at secular universities," and that proponents of "intelligent design" have encountered profound difficulty in having their papers on the subject printed in scientific journals. The article reported that "[m]any intelligent-design proponents believe there is a conspiracy to keep their ideas out of scientific circles." However, the article also reported:
Kenneth R. Miller, a professor of biology at Brown University and a leading critic of the intelligent-design movement, says such a view turns the scientific process on its head. If a researcher's theories are rejected, he says, that means that they have failed as good science, not that they're being suppressed.
On August 4, 2004, a prominent paper on "intelligent design" was published in the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The paper, titled "The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories," was written by Stephen C. Meyer, the program director for the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture [14], a leading center for the study of "intelligent design." However, the Biological Society of Washington later disavowed itself from the paper because it did not undergo a proper peer review and did not meet the scientific standards of the journal, according to a statement [15] issued by the society.
In addition to promoting the scientific merit of "intelligent design," IDEA also asserts the theory's secularity. From a "beliefs" statement [2] on the IDEA website:
We recognize that investigating over origins raises questions that are both religious and scientific in nature, but we are careful not to mix scientific claims with religious claims, and recognize that the two are distinct and different, though complementary to one-another.
A number of academics have disputed "intelligent design's" secularity as well, labeling it as a method of reinserting creationism into the scientific curriculum. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned [16] a Louisiana law requiring the teaching of creationism in public schools along with evolution, ruling that the law violated the Establishment Clause [17] of the First Amendment [18].
From the December 21, 2004, Chronicle of Higher Education article:
"I don't think intelligent design is a science," says Bruce Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences. "It's a way of restating creationism in a different formulation."
From an October 21, 2004, NCSE resource article [19] about the Pennsylvania case:
NCSE's executive director Eugenie C. Scott told the York Daily Record, "Intelligent design is just a sham to get creationism into the curriculum," explaining that "even if [its advocates] haven't convinced the scientific community, they have been able to convince the politicians ... And that's too bad for the students in Dover."

Sir Ian McKellen: Plagued with Prostate Cancer
He's best known in recent years for playing the wizard Gandalf, and Sir Ian McKellan could certainly use some magical powers right about now.
The "Lord of the Rings" actor just revealed that he has been suffering from "prostate cancer for six or seven years," in a new interview.
Ian continued, "When you have got it you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread. But if it is contained in the prostate, it's no big deal."
"Many, many die from it, but it's one of the cancers that is totally treatable so I have 'wasteful watching.' I am examined regularly and it's just contained, it's not spreading. I've not had any treatment."
"I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn't know they had got it and it went on the rampage. But at my age if it is diagnosed, it's not life threatening."
"You are told what the situation is: you can have an operation but there is no point [in] me having an operation because there is no need for it. What they are concerned about is the cancer going to spread outside the prostate? If it doesn't you are fine. How do you know if it is spreading? You keep being tested."

Most people are born with the ability to sense ghosts, but they lose this skill when they reach adulthood so now children are employed to watch for and hunt ghosts under the supervision of an adult leader.Thirteen-year-old Lucy, who can hear ghosts, joins the rogue pair of ghost hunters known as Lockwood & Co. which has no adult in charge. Needless to say, nobody is terribly surprised when she and Lockwood accidentally burn down a house on one of her first missions. This new supernatural adventure series by the author of the the Bartemaeus books will leave the reader hoping book two comes out soon.

Tag: new tab
Bloglines and Firefox
by critter42 on Nov.04, 2004, under Uncategorized
I had started using Bloglines a few weeks ago after Nick Bradbury announced Bloglines integration with his FeedDemon RSS aggregator. Shortly thereafter I made the complete switch to Firefox as my web browser.
However, after I switched, I noticed that Bloglines no longer worked properly with Firefox – whenever I would click on one of my feeds, a new blank tab would open with no content and I could not bring up the feed. After some searching, I found that there was an issue with the Tabbed Browsing extension and Bloglines, but one setting in about:config would fix. Unfortunately, this didn't help me as I didn't use the Tabbed Browsing Extension.
However, I DO use an extension called Single Window from AAron Spuler which expands the tabbed browsing capabilites of Firefox. After poking around, I saw there was an option for "Open JavaScript links in new tabs" that was checked. I unchecked it, restarted Firefox for the change to take place, and found that Bloglines now worked perfectly!
So if you're experiencing the problem with a new tab opening when you select a feed in Bloglines, but that tab is empty – check your Single Window extension settings.

Big thanks to Khoalty
I am honestly shocked to see other reviews of Khoalty. I have had nothing but good experiences ordering with them. I have made atleast 3-4 separate orders with them of parts from bulbs to a front lip and everything has gone very well, parts shipped out quickly, tracking on all orders, and even great customer service. Have basically bought all new lighting through them. LED tails and LED corners, their angel eyes, their LED interior kit.
I also ordered the carbon fiber Arqray front lip from them and when the package arrived on the expected day I opened the box to find out it was fiberglass. I sent them an email which they responded to much faster than I had expected. I then sent them a pic of the fiberglass lip and they let me know that my lip would be replaced with the correct part. Within 3 weeks I received the carbon fiber Arqray front lip, and the fit is spot on....a bit tough to get on but a nice snug fit is why I wanted this particular lip. Seriously have nothing but great things to say about Khoalty.
Will continue to do business with them again and again. So I say thank you to Khoalty for outstanding customer service!

LONG BEACH - While the eastern half of the city isn't usually considered a hotbed of crime, it still had its issues last year.
Residents and those who work in that part of the city are well aware of their crime trends, and the majority said they took extra precautions in light of spikes in property crimes.
"I did put a security system on the house and I've noticed a lot more ADT Security System signs in my neighbors' yards," said Leah Laskan, 35, who lives in the Los Altos area of Long Beach.
Laskan said she took the precaution after hearing about a rise in garage and home burglaries in her area. More than half the people interviewed in the Eastside said they either contracted with a new security service or had better locks installed in their homes.
Sean Sweeny and Richard Zinner live near Retro Row, around Junipero Avenue and Fourth Street, and though they didn't talk about purchasing security systems for their homes, they were well versed in the crimes in their community. They said they don't leave valuables visible in their cars or their homes unlocked.
The pair listed a number of small businesses recently hit with a series of armed robberies and a barista at their local coffee shop who was beaten up.
"I walk my dogs late at night and I've noticed a difference in the last year," said the 42-year-old Zinner. "There's a little extra rudeness, a little more violence."
"It's the economy, people are frustrated, they're pissed," said Sweeny, 23. "But it's not too bad. You just have to use common sense."

I have found a topic pertaining to a similar problem, however it deals with Knoppix:
ISO boot from FAT/NTFS/USB (GRUB.exe, grldr from boot.ini) - Knoppix.net
It seems that someone modified initrd with NTFS kernel modules so that the kernel was able to see NTFS partitions before mounting the filesystem.
I'm not sure if this is the same problem I am having, but it could be. Can someone clarify if Backtrack is able to boot from an ISO stored on an NTFS partition? And if so, how? Is the "from" cheatcode I used above correct? Or is there a different one I should be using?

The Truth About VBAC: History, Politics, & Stats - Costa Mesa, CA
VBAC Facts
Saturday, January 19, 2013 from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
What will the class discuss?
Can a woman integrate both intuition and research into her decision making process? Or does incorporating the findings of research diminish the importance of a woman's innate knowledge? Is your mom or partner worried about your decision to VBAC? Are your clients seeking accurate information? Can you speak intelligently on the risks and benefits of VBAC and repeat cesarean?
Over the course of five hours, "The Truth About VBAC" delivers an evidence-based review of interesting and hard to find information relative to post-cesarean birth options to parents, birth advocates, and medical professionals. It is jam packed with statistics, analysis, and recommendations directly from respected medical journals, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Topics Inculde:
- Current VBAC Guidelines
- Factors of Uterine Rupture
- Maximize Your VBAC Odds
- Hospital VBAC Strategies
- Repeat Cesarean vs. VBAC
- Maternal & Infant Outcomes
- Why Some Hospitals Ban VBAC
- Risks of Hospital vs. Out-of-Hospital VBAC
- Understanding Informed Consent
What do people say about the class?
"Thank you Thank You THANK YOU! Jen, I just LOVED The Truth About VBAC Webinar we finished up today. I am definitely an advocate of following your intuition and trusting innate maternal wisdom, but knowing this information will help cast away those doubts about what moms' bodies are capable of. A cesarean is not the 'birth handicap' we are led to believe it is by the mainstream. I encourage all doulas and childbirth educators and VBAC seeking moms and partners to take this class, capture this information and use it to win support from your birth team. You can VBAC with confidence having the data to reference, and Jen did an amazing job putting it all together in a clear manner, looking at the issue from myriad perspectives. Bravo Jen . . . well done!" - Jenn D'Jammos, CCCE, Earth Mama Birth - Review of the November 2012 webinar
"Jen's VBAC Facts webinar is interesting, organized, and most importantly, evidence-based! Some of my favorite parts included the many charts Jen created, which illustrate statistics regarding Cesarean section and VBAC in the U.S. I'm a visual learner, and putting those numbers in perspective really made it click for me. This class would be a great fit for parents, educators, doulas, and any health professional working with mothers and babies. A fabulous educational opportunity!" - Lindsey Rupp, CD(DONA), CLS, PCD(DONA), Blissful Transition Doula Services
"You rocked your presentation. I learned sooooo much!" — Ana Paula Markel, Founder of BINI Birth, Doula Trainer, and Childbirth Educator
"I teach my clients and students that educating themselves is one of the most powerful paths to freedom. When it comes to birth—whether or not a woman is planning a VBAC–information is power. Jen Kamel has a masterful understanding of the research and she delivers it to mothers and birth workers in a clear, accessible, and applicable way. Thanks to Jen and www.VBACfacts.com this powerful body of knowledge can be used by all of us to cultivate the best possible birth experiences." — Christy Diane Farr, Life Coach with Seeds and Weeds Coaching
"This class is all about the facts. It is low pressure. It gives you information from scientific journals that will help you make the best decision for you and your baby. At the end, you get to decide which set of risks you are willing to accept. It opened my husband's eyes. Even though I've been telling him, he needed to hear the research and the numbers. Thank you!!!" — Mom seeking VBA2C
"Thanks for an outstanding class! It was very nice meeting you. Your hard work and dedicated research is incredibly impressive. Knowledge is Power, wish it would rub off on the whole OB community. I think the trend to eventually turn that direction for women's choice of birth options will happen as more people put that kind of pressure on the issue. Bravo to you!" — Labor & Delivery Registered Nurse seeking VBA1C
"My husband and I certainly felt even more confident after the class. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering a VBAC." — A mom planning VBA1C
"Jen Kamel blew me away with the personable nature in which she delivered stats and figures. She clearly explained how women can use them to understand their options. I wish every person out there who feels strange when dealing with the numbers vs intuition question would take this class and get a good look at what the integration of the two looks like." — Shannon Mitchell, Doula & Birth Advocate
"What an amazing and informative presentation!! Thank you so much for doing this ever-important work for birthing women!!! " — Teresa Stire, PhDc, MA, student midwife, and VBA3C mom
Do I need to be pregnant to attend?
If you have had a cesarean and are considering your birth options, the best time to collect information is before you get pregnant. Then you have time to conduct your research and assemble your birth team without a due date looming. That said, it is never to late to learn.
But I live an hour away!
The average person who attends the in-person class drives 45 minutes one way. 21% drive between 1 – 2 hours and 18% drive over two hours the attend this class! Don't let distance hold you back!
Is your goal to convince women to have a VBAC?
I had a wonderful VBAC with my son. It was the right choice for me. However, you may find that the right choice for you is a repeat cesarean and that is your decision to make with your body. The objective of the class is to make hard to find and interesting information relative to post-cesarean birth options easily accessible to the people who seek it, not to convince anyone to make a specific decision. This class is a respectful environment and as such, your choices will be respected. Learn more about my unique style of advocacy.

Red Hat, Ubuntu to Microsoft: Go to hell
According to a report from Down Under — this story from ZDNet Australia, to be exact — two of the largest GNU/Linux distros, Red Hat and Ubuntu, have told the death star in Redmond to take a hike.
According to the story, Red Hat referred back to a statement written when Microsoft revealed it was partnering with Novell, saying that its position remained unaltered. Red Hat director of corporate communications Leigh Day added: "We continue to believe that open source and the innovation it represents should not be subject to an unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency."
"An unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency" — you mean like protection money you'd pay to a racketeer?
Canonical's Mark Shuttleworth said Ubuntu stands to benefit from improving interoperability between Linux and Windows, but finds that the threat of patent infringement Microsoft has made "have [no] legal merit, and they are no incentive for us to work with Microsoft on any of the wonderful things we could do together." Shuttleworth also finds significant fault with Microsoft's Open XML.
"I have no confidence in Microsoft's Open XML specification to deliver a vibrant, competitive and healthy market of multiple implementations," Shuttleworth said in a blog entry. "I don't believe that the specifications are good enough, nor that Microsoft will hold itself to the specification when it does not suit the company to do so."
So to Novell, Xandros and Linspire — oh, I'm sorry, "Lindows" — , that's how you should have played it.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA - The Penn men's lacrosse team entered Saturday's contest with Dartmouth having played four straight one-goal games in Ivy League play. So when the unranked Big Green scored the first goal of the game on the 13th-ranked Quakers with 11:31 left in the first quarter, there was every reason to expect another dogfight at Franklin Field.
In fact, Dartmouth ended up outshooting Penn 9-6 in the opening quarter. However, the visiting Green's second goal did not come until just over 10 minutes were left in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, the Quakers took advantage of that 45-minute drought to score seven unanswered goals, and in the end they won 9-4.
With the win, Penn concludes the Ivy portion of its season at 4-2, the team's best leaguerecord since 2006. The Quakers also guaranteed themselves a spot in the Ivy League Tournament as the No. 2 seed. That event will be hosted by Cornell, with the semifinals taking place Friday, May 6, and the final on Sunday, May 8. Penn is 8-4 overall. Dartmouth fell to 5-8 overall, 1-4 in the Ivy League.
Penn also completes the 2011 season with a 6-0 record on Franklin Field, and extends its home winning streak to seven games dating back to last season. That is the fourth-longest streak in the nation at the NCAA Division I level.
Penn got two goals each from John Conneely and Dan Savage, while Corey Winkoff had four assists andsophomoreRyan Parietti added a goal and two dishes. That complemented an outstanding defensive effort, as the Quakers had 14 caused turnovers on the day. Penn has held three opponents to four or fewer goals this season, and in the last three games the Quakers have allowed just 15 goals.
Dartmouth's Chris Costabile got Dartmouth on the board less than four minutes in, scoring an unassisted goal. However, Brian Feeney was equal to every task after that, and probably kept his team in the game. The freshman goalie had four saves in the opening stanza, and finished the game with nine stops.
Meanwhile, Penn's offense struggled early in the raw weather -- the first half was far from a work of art on either side -- but built up enough of a cushion to secure the victory.
The Quakers got on the board with 6:50 left in the first when Rob Fitzpatrick used a nice individual effort to get in front of the goal. That was quickly followed by Penn's second goal, as the Red and Blue won the faceoff and Winkoff found Will Koshansky in front for the long-stick middie's fourth goal this season.
Penn scored two more times in the second quarter. The first came from Drew Belinsky, who finished a Winkoff feed, and the second was a particularly big goal as it came with just 10 seconds left before the half. Savage netted it, off another Winkoff pass.
Conneely got on the board with 9:12 left in the third quarter, followed two minutes later by Savage's unassisted effort from up top. With 1:42 left in the quarter, Parietti got free and finished yet another Winkoff feed, and Penn was up 7-1 after three.
Dartmouth sprung to life in the fourth. Mike Olentine seemed to surprise the Penn defense with an individual effort that got him in front of the goal, and he converted the shot past Feeney's left side. Just 23 seconds after that, Olentine struck again, this time off a feed from Kip Dooley.
Penn fans may have started to squirm a bit with 8:44 left, when Dartmouth converted a man-up situation and made the score 7-4. Rhett Miller scored the goal, hitting a low-angle shot just under the crossbar off a Dooley pass.
Penn was able to respond. Just more than a minute after Miller's goal, Penn had the ball on offense and Dartmouth's pulled its keeper out to help on defense. Parietti found Conneely - who had the goalie on him defensively - and Conneely was able to catch the pass in front and bounce the ball into the open goal. With 6:06 left, Parietti found Kohart on the right side, and the senior rifled a shot past Fergus Campbell into the goal to close out the scoring.
Koshansky ended up with five caused turnovers and six ground balls to go with his goal.
The Quakers will conclude the regular season next Saturday at No. 10 Virginia, facing off with the Cavaliers at 3 p.m.

In other news, I just wrote an email on my LAPTOP today... First time in forever. Normally I just use my overly expensive phone to do it....
Only differences is Samsung S4 is not made to compete with the iphone 5,
wait till the iphone 5S comes out... those are the real competition.
oh, and Bluetooth works--unlike the iPhone.
Do you not get tired of continually coming to modmy"I" and constantly bashing something you clearly do not know much about anymore? Is there no Android forum you can go to and all praise your Samsung's and sing Kumbuya in a circle?
Bluetooth used to be a lot glitchier in the iOS 3 days, but no more than other Bluetooth devices I've used.
As for battery life, my iPhone compares about the same with my RAZR HD.

Dismayed by the dearth of mid-rise development in their native Toronto, Meg Graham and Andre D'Elia, OAA, MRAIC, took matters into their own hands. The married principals of superkül inc | architect "wanted a headquarters" for themselves and their seven-person firm, Graham says, so they went searching for a site that could support their vision. They found it in the city's west end. "We knew the area was in transition," D'Elia says, "but we also knew what to do with the building as soon as we walked in."
The aging structure lacked street presence but "had good bones," Graham says, and was already zoned for commercial and residential uses. Knowing it "would serve as a billboard" for their work, the couple completely renovated the interior, added a third floor, and transformed the façade, using the neighborhood's existing massing, height, and window proportions as a guide. The firm occupies the basement and first floor, and a two-bedroom apartment spans the top two floors. Simple circulation and partitioning changes can be made, if needed, to accommodate more employees, children, or even aging parents.
Black concrete block and a large picture window modernize the street-facing entrance on the south façade. Another window in the second-floor living/dining area breaks up the horizontal cedar screen covering the existing red brick and a portion of the metal siding-clad third floor, shielding the master bedroom and its terrace from prying eyes. The apartment's entrance, a courtyard, and an in-progress garage/studio are around back. Inside, walnut-stained oak flooring contrasts warmly with the spare, white drywall that divides each space. Other new finishes include quartz countertops, IKEA cabinetry, and industrial lighting. Existing pressed-tin ceilings and wooden roof joists were kept, D'Elia says, "to preserve some of the original building's texture and character."
Ironically, the building was (briefly) adapted and reused once more within months of its makeover. The producers of Hairspray repurposed more than 60 area storefronts—superkül's included—to mimic 1960s Baltimore for the 2007 film's street scenes.
project: Home/Office, Toronto
architect: superkül inc | architect, Toronto
general contractors: Keystone Construction, Woodbridge, Ontario, and superkül inc | architect
project size: 2,800 square feet (plus 800-square-foot garage/studio)

Cursive Matters, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- A new history argues that Joyce suffered from syphilis.
- And a new study suggests unique cognitive benefits to learning to write in cursive: "In alexia, or impaired reading ability, some individuals who are unable to process print can still read cursive, and vice versa—suggesting that the two writing modes activate separate brain networks and engage more cognitive resources … cursive writing may train self-control ability in a way that other modes of writing do not, and some researchers argue that it may even be a path to treating dyslexia."
- In an ancient Chinese tomb, archaeologists have found three-thousand-year-old pants. "These pants, which were recovered from a tomb in China, are about four hundred years older than the previous record holder for 'oldest pants.'"
- At the Tate, "Crowds gather at the heart of Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs, drawn to an artless home movie showing the master at work. He looks, and was, extremely unwell … Art for him is the moment at which, to quote a remark he made about Snail, one becomes 'aware of an unfolding'. 'At this time of year,' he wrote to a friend, 'I always see the dried leaves on your table, catching fire as they pass under your fingers from death to life.'"
- "Books do indeed furnish a room—but tobacco smoke gives it volume, substance and an aroma."
- In the forties, the U.S. Public Health Service gave this pamphlet to anyone whose home had been sprayed with DDT; it includes a poem of sorts. "Stay indoors at night / That is when malaria skeeters bite / But DDT upon your wall / will kill them if they call."

There are four names always on or near the top of the list of all time great Rock 'n' Roll bands: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The Who.
The Who was formed by sheet-metal worker Roger Daltrey in 1963. The the line up, after a couple of adjustments, established itself with Daltrey on lead vocals, Keith Moon on drums, John Entwistle on bass and Pete Townshend on lead guitar. T
ownshend, honouring his art student credentials, wrote (and still writes) music famous for having an 'edge', complemented by the wildly creative performance techniques of each member of the band.
It is generally acknowledged among rock aficionados that The Who in their heyday were the most exciting live band on the planet, with their Live at Leeds album (1970) hailed as the greatest live album of all time. The compositional skills of Townshend have always been way beyond the conventional, as is proven not only in classic songs like 'My Generation' and 'Baba O'Riley' but also in his two great rock operas (a form he more or less invented single-handed) Tommy and Quadrophenia.
Today, despite the deaths of Keith Moon and John Entwistle, The Who remain a potent force on the rock music scene. Their Concert for New York City appearance after the tragedy of 9/11 was a classic, as have been their annual performances at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. In 2006, Pete Townshend wrote The Who's first studio album for the new millennium, Endless Wire and the band toured Europe and the U.S. during 2006 and 2007.

Your Body Mass Index – know what it is— published: 02-11-2014
Filed under: Health information resources, Healthy Tips, Heart, Obesity
You may have heard about the Body Mass Index (BMI), but do you really know what it is? BMI is an indicator of body fat for most adults—a screening tool for possible health problems. BMI is calculated using weight and height, and depending on the number, the result is categorized into underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese. The higher the BMI, the higher the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has an adult BMI calculator, child and teen BMI calculator, and information for interpreting the numbers.

Brief Overview
De-ICE has another challenge in its "vulnerable-by-design" series - even though the naming gets more confusing with every release! It's been a while since the last release, level 2-disk 1 (back in 2007). The students of "HackingDojo" were challenged to put together their own exploitable LiveCD, and it was released under the de-ice name. This is "version a", and should be not confused with "version B" (de-ice-1.120-1.0b.iso aka Level 1-Disk 3-Release 1-Version B), as these are NOT the same challenge - it's a different setup.
Heorot.net release's (in date order):
- De-ICE - Level 1 - Disk 1 (de-ice.net-1.100-1.1.iso)
- De-ICE - Level 1 - Disk 2 (de-ice.net-1.110-1.0.iso)
- De-ICE - Level 2 - Disk 1 (de-ice.net-2.100-1.1.iso)
- pWnOS (pWnOS v1.0.zip)
- Hackerdemia (hackerdemia-1.1.0.iso)
- De-ICE - Level 1 - Disk 3 - Version A (de-ice-1.120-1.0a.iso)
- De-ICE - Level 1 - Disk 3 - Version B (de-ice-1.120-1.0b.iso)
- Pre-setup (configured IP as the host has a static IP in 192.168.1.0/24 range)
- Scan network for the host (nmap)
- Port scanned host (unicornscan)
- Enumerated running services running open ports (nmap)
- Discovered a SQL Injection (Firefox)
- Dump all usernames & passwords to the database (sqlmap)
- Tested for any repeated logins with known usernames & working passwords (hydra)
- Escalated privilege by incorrectly configured settings (sudo)
What do I need?
- de-ice-1.120-1.0a.iso (MD5: E8FB66760ADDF85896DB3F78F278F7D2)
- Spare or a Virtual machine (Example: Virtual Box or VMware Player)
- nmap – (Can be found on BackTrack 5).
- unicornscan – (Can be found in BackTrack 5 repository).
- sqlmap – (Can be found on BackTrack 5).
- hydra – (Can be found on BackTrack 5).
A quick "ping" scan with nmap, shows which hosts are connected to the network. Once the target had been discovered a detailed port scan (TCP & UDP) was taken by using unicornscan. To check the results another detailed TCP port scan was done, though this time it was done using nmap. Unicornscan uses a lot less time to do a port scan compared to nmap (especially with UDP scanning). However, nmap has the advantage of being able to do more than just "port scanning" by "information gathering". The attacker uses the "-a" option, which allows for "OS detection", "version detection of services", "a collection of script scanning", and "traceroute details" as well as increasing the scan speed by "-T4". nmap also confirms TCP port 80 is open, which is the default port for a web server, as well as detecting basic information regarding the configuration of the server.
The attacker then interacts with the web server and is presented with a "Data Entry" site. There isn't any protection on the server, which allows for the attacker to add a new product into the system. Upon doing so, the attacker notices the URI of the current page, "products.php?id=1". By using the ID variable, the server selects the requested item. The attacker tries to inject their own code allowed with it.
The attacker uses sqlmap to speed up the injection process as it is designed to test multiple injection methods. sqlmap has pre-built commands which allows the attacker to find common sensitive information (such as; the running services and versions, current user and the database admin, user privileges as well as viewing every table along with the contents). The attacker chooses to capture all the users and their passwords to the database services. The passwords used in the database are encrypted, however, they use a well-known scheme which is easily cracked. The result of this, gives the attacker 50 working usernames as well as 49 known passwords too.
The attacker then checks to see if any of the users have reused their passwords (or if they have used someone else known password, any blank passwords or their usernames as the passwords), by brute forcing the SSH remote login. The result of this action, gives the attacker remote access to the system with 50 credentials.
On the list of credentials, the attacker notices a few usernames which they have seen before from previous pentests for the company. The attacker then logs into their accounts and views their personal folders. Upon accessing "ccoffee" account, there was a directory (scripts) located inside. In this folder, there was a file which was only accessible to the super user account, root. The attacker then checks to see if any privileges have been assigned to the user for this file-they have been. The attacker then backups the file and replaces it with their own file - which is a shell prompt.
The attacker highlights the fact that the full path has to be specified for sudo to allow access to the file. After this command has been executed, the attacker now has complete access to the system. The attacker collects a bit of information about the system (IP addresses, user hashes and accesses the personal folder for the root account).
As the attacker now has access to the complete system, they access every user folder at once and view random files at their choosing; a selection of them are sensitive to the company. (Note: I skipped the majority of them out for two reasons: 1.) It's boring watching me cat'ing them all and 2.) It allows you to view them for yourselves).
Game over

Three teenagers have been charged with arson after allegedly deliberately lighting bushfires near a major hospital in Newcastle on Thursday and Friday.
Police went to Elermore Vale and Wallsend to arrest boys aged 15, 16, and 17, who were acting suspiciously in the area where the fires were lit.
On Friday about 6pm, firefighters put out three separate fires lit inside George McGregor Reserve, next to John Hunter Hospital. Fires were also lit by arsonists in the same area the day before.
Newcastle police were forced to make regular patrols of the area and Fire and Rescue NSW left a crew and vehicle on permanent standby near the hospital.
The 15- and 16-year-old boys were granted conditional bail and will appear at Broadmeadow Children's Court today.
The 17-year-old Wallsend male was refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Children's Court today.

Alexis Arquette has been quiet for some time. Of course in the Arquette family to get attention you have to really stand out. Can you imagine what a Thanksgiving dinner is like at their house? You have Patricia brooding in one corner and when she was with Nicolas Cage they probably set world records for brooding. Looking smugly at everyone while chain smoking cigarettes and reliving her glory days in the 80's is Rosanna. Then you have David throwing back shots and snorting lines off the dining room table before rubbing the turkey all over his naked body. Finally there is Alexis who gets everyone to shut up by telling the rest of the group that he had sex with Jared Leto before Alexis transitioned to a woman. I think we can all agree that Jared is much like our version of Russell Brand. I'm not saying that Russell will have sex with a guy or has had sex with a guy, but I think that he is pretty much open to having as much sex as possible with as much variety as possible and would like that to repeat eight times every day.
Alexis, who was Robert back then says that Jared Leto's manhood was huge and then went on to describe it in very vivid detail.

The Salt Lake City metropolitan area attracts a bit less than its share of the richest Americans, a new U.S. Census Bureau report shows.
The Census Bureau released an analysis this week of which areas have the highest concentration of high-income households defined as being in the top 5 percent, or having annual incomes of more $191,469.
In the Salt Lake metro area, 4.4 percent of households were high income or a bit less than the 5 percent that would be average nationally. That ranked No. 29 among the nation's 50 largest metro areas.
The study noted that the 50 most populous metro areas contained 52 percent of all U.S. households and 72 percent of high-income households.
Among all metro areas, the Bridgeford-Stamford-Norwalk, Conn., metro area near New York City had the highest concentration of high-income households at 17.9 percent, followed by San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., at 15.9 percent, and the Washington, D.C., metro area at 14.1 percent.
At the other end of the spectrum are two metro areas named Danville in Virginia and Illinois each with 1.1 percent of households having high income.
The information comes from The Geographic Concentration of High-Income Households, based on five-years' (2007-2011 ) survey results from the American Community Survey.

Gwar's Gwar-B-Q still on despite frontman's death
Gwar's annual Gwar-B-Q will go on as scheduled this summer.
The costumed metal band's frontman Dave Brockie was found dead this past Sunday, but manager Jim Flanagan says in a statement the show must go on, just as Dave and his onstage alter-ego Oderus Urungus would have wanted.
The Gwar-B-Q is scheduled to take place in the band's hometown of Richmond, Virginia on August 16th, and Flanagan says they'll be holding a public memorial for Brockie the day before at the same site.
Flanagan adds that Brockie's funeral and a private memorial for family and friends have also been arranged. The group is still awaiting a toxicology report to confirm the cause of the 50-year-old singer's death, although Richmond's WTVR-TV cites law enforcement sources who say it's being investigated as drug-related.

This is one means by which organisms such as bacteria transmit genes between themselves. In conjugation, two bacteria from the same species come alongside one another and form a temporary cytoplasmic bridge, over which a mutual exchange of DNA takes place.90
Genetic variety in bacteria is increased by means of conjugation. However, since no separate bacterial cell emerges as a result, this mechanism cannot be regarded as sexual reproduction.91 (Bacterial reproduction by way of mutual contact is known as sexual reproduction with conjugation.)
Evolutionists, however, do regard these newly emerging genetic variations as a universal feature of sexual reproduction. Since the initial bacteria have different characteristics from those that emerge subsequently, evolutionists take this as evidence for evolution. In fact, what is happening here is actually variation. The genes from the two bacteria do give rise to further variety, but no new genes or genetic data are added to the genetic pool. As a result, the bacteria remain the same species of bacteria, and no new subspecies emerges.

Hi Rosi, first of all I think you should be commended for giving up your time and helping us all out by posting in this forum, so thank you!
About 6 months ago whilst I was in the gym doing a set of snatches, I hurt my left shoulder. It happened when I pulled the weight up to my chest and tried to transition to pressing overhead. I had a week or so break from lifting weights and it felt like it was healing so got back to the gym. It was still a bit painful but I could train on it.
now 6 months on Im at a point where it only hurts if I move my arm through a certain range of motion. For example at training earlier we were drilling kimuras for a warm up and even when the the lock isn't fullly on and we're just going through the motions it was alot more painful than it should have been.
The pain is at the front of my shoulder blade, any ideas? Am I better off going straight too a GP or trying a sports massage first?
Once again thank you, I'd really appreciate your feedback!

Full Penn Release
NWCA Release
PHILADELPHIA - Eight NCAA Division I wrestling programs were honored this week for success in the Academic Progress Report (APR) and for the fourth consecutive year, Penn was honored. For the Quakers, the fourth straight recognition ties Northwestern for the longest active streakamong Division I programs.
"We strive as a program to achieve success not only on the mat, but in the classroom," head coach Rob Eiter said. "We have been fortunate in the past few years to not only produce EIWA champions and All-Americans but Academc All-Ivy and NWCA All-Academic individuals as well. I am very proud of every member of our team as this is truly a fine example of how well-rounded our wrestlers are."
The NCAA "commends" teams that have APR scores in the top 10 percent within their sport, with the minimum necessary score ranging from 975 to a perfect mark of 1000 depending on the range of team scores nationwide within that sport.
Now in its eighth year, the APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester or quarter by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention, and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.
"Penn and Northwestern'sprograms have set the bar high in sustaining academic excellence," said Mike Moyer, the Executive Director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association. "We are proud of what these programs have demonstrated over the course of time and equally proud of the four programs earning this recognition for the first time."
Penn's wrestling team joined 16 other Penn programs to rank the Quakers tied for fourth among all Division I colleges and universties on this year's APR report. On the conference front, the Ivy League was tops with 131 total programs commended.

Selective coordination studies for mission critical environments
Isolating an electrical fault condition to the smallest area possible is essential in providing the most reliable electrical distribution system with maximum uptime for your facility.
Learning objectives
- Learn the basics of protective device coordination studies.
- Know the proper sizing of the transformer primary breaker.
- Understand selective coordination impacts on arc fault.
- Understand NEC Article 517 and ground fault coordination studies required for health care facilities.
An unexpected loss of power can have a significant effect on business, especially in a mission critical environment. Isolating an electrical fault condition to the smallest area possible is essential in providing the most reliable electrical distribution system with maximum uptime for your facility. Expensive electronic distribution protection equipment is not worth the extra cost unless a proper protective device coordination study is provided by an experienced electrical engineer.
A properly coordinated system will limit an electrical fault to the nearest upstream protective device. After a one-line diagram of an electrical distribution system is completed and the brand and model of the protective devices are selected, an overcurrent protective coordination study can be completed. Protective devices can consist of both fuses and breakers. Evaluating the merits of choosing to use fuses or circuit breakers is beyond the scope of this article. The primary focus of this article is adjustable trip circuit breakers as the protective device.
Severalparameters can be selected for each protective device. The total number, type, and sensitivity of the settings will depend on the specific device. Adjustment of these parameters allows for what is referred to as "curve shaping." Curve shaping allows for better coordination between upstream and downstream overcurrent protection devices. Below is a list of the common possible parameters.
Continuous current rating
Continuous current rating is often called the current sensor or plug. There are several possibilities:
- Long-time pickup (long time per unit): This is the long-time trip setting of the overcurrent protective device. This parameter, also known as continuous amps, is a percentage of the breaker's nominal rating and can typically be set at 20% to 100%. This setting is usually achieved with a thermal overload in a molded case circuit breaker.
- Long-time delay: This setting allows for inrush from motors to pass without tripping the breaker. This setting effects the position of the I squared T slope just below the continuous current setting.
- Short-time pickup: This is typically provided with an adjustment of 5 to 10 times. This setting allows downstream overcurrent protection devices to clear faults without tripping upstream devices. It can also be adjusted to allow for transformer inrush current.
- Short-time delay and instantaneous override: This setting postpones the short-time pickup. It can be a fixed setting or an I squared T ramp setting. This allows for better coordination between upstream and downstream devices. An instantaneous override can be set at high current to override this function and protect electrical equipment. The I square T function of the short-time delay can provide better coordination when coordinating a breaker with a fuse.
- Instantaneous: This setting will trip the overcurrent protective device with no intentional delay.
- Ground fault setting (ground fault per unit): This is the percentage of the rating of the breaker for the ground fault setting. Per the NFPA 70: National Electrical Code, ground fault cannot exceed 1,200 amps, regardless of the size of the breaker.
- Ground fault delay: This setting allows for a time delay before ground fault pickup, which allows for better selective coordination between multiple levels of ground fault protection. In addition, the time delay cannot exceed 1 second (60 cycles) for ground fault currents of 3,000 amps or more.
Before beginning a coordination study, the electrical engineer should design a one-line diagram and coordinate with the electrical contractor and/or the equipment provider to determine the actual equipment to be installed. The following are required to provide an accurate protective coordination study:
- Description, make, and catalog numbers of protective devices
- Full load current at the protective device
- Transformer kVA, impedance, and inrush data
- Available fault current at the protective device
- Conductor cable information including current carrying capacity and insulation type
- Protective device design requirements from the serving utility.
It is common to perform complicated electrical protection coordination studies with computer software. These software platforms typically contain libraries that include most of the common overcurrent protective device required settings. Sometimes new device settings have to be developed by the electrical engineer in the software program.
As noted above, with the review of protective coordination study basics, an electrical system's reliability can be assured only if proper coordination is implemented between protective devices. The next portion of this article will review instances where the National Electrical Code requires a protective coordination study and where K-rated transformers are employed to deal with electronics and nonlinear loads can reduce reliability if not properly coordinated.
Using K-rated transformers
On a typical transformer, the current and associated magnetic field is 90 deg out of phase with the voltage. When you close a breaker and turn on a transformer, the instantaneous magnetic field can be twice as high as normal. In an "ideal" transformer, the current required to supply this magnetic field would also be twice as high. However, in a real transformer, the core is saturated and the actual current required to create the field can be 12 times as high as normal. Factors such as the size of the transformers' cores and the time the voltage is applied play roles in determining the amount of inrush current.
The actual inrush current mentioned above is different depending on the actual transformer manufacturer. It is critical to contact the specific manufacturer of the transformer supplied in the field. If actual transformer inrush data is not known, common industry standard is to assume the inrush is 12 times for 0.1 seconds and 25 times for 0.01 seconds. Figure 1 illustrates the transformer inrush at 12 times for 0.1 seconds.
Electrical engineers were running into trouble some years back when the K13-rated transformer was becoming more prolific in regular office and mission critical facilities. A K13-rated transformer is often just a larger transformer with a smaller rating to compensate for harmonics. The same 110 amp breaker typically on the primary side of a regular 75 kVA transformer may trip when protecting a 75 kVA, K13 transformer. For sizing of the primary side overcurrent protective device for K13 or higher rated transformers, I recommend multiplying the input full load amps of a transformer by 125% and going to the next common size up. In addition, a breaker with the instantaneous setting is often required to allow for the transformer current inrush. As a final step, I recommend a coordination study to ensure the system will work before it is too late, after construction is complete and the engineer is stuck with an angry owner.

I would like to share on SPOF (Single Point of Failure)
Single Point Of Failure (SPOF) And Resiliency Report
In engineering, redundancy is the duplication of critical components or functions of a system with the intention of increasing reliability of the system, usually in the case of a backup or fail-safe. Global Switch are contractually obliged to provide at least N (full duty capacity) + 1 but in many instances we actually exceed these requirements with N + N
This level of redundancy can sometimes, by virtue of design or construction deficiencies have single control or other functions which in the event of failure will cause the system in which they are installed to fail despite having redundancy in terms of base units. These are called "single points of failure" or SPOFs.
It is important that to maintain the required 100% uptime that these SPOFs are identified and that an educated decision be made as to whether it is acceptable to live with these SPOFs or whether it is required to maintain acceptable levels of reliability or an acceptable limitation of risk necessary to engineer these SPOFs out.
Systems can be made more robust by adding redundancy or duplicating the plant or device in all potential SPOFs thus removing the single point of failure.
General Objective
The assessment of a potential SPOF involves identifying the critical components of a complex system that would result in a total systems failure in should it malfunction. Highly reliable systems should not rely on any such individual component failure. Clearly it is not sufficient to identify the weakness on its own; a decision has to be made as to whether the risk as acceptable or not and to establish the cost and feasibility of engineering out this single point of failure by adding additional redundant services. Providing master/slave controllers is a typical example of this.
This process would entail an initial highly detailed desktop analysis covering both electrical and mechanical schematics'. Any single items of critical plant should be noted these should be at least double fed or be duplicated in terms of function elsewhere such that their failure would not impact the service delivery of the site. BMS systems, Pressurisation units and water filtration units on a sealed system plus monitoring systems of most types are just a few examples of such plant. Careful consideration would have to be made of each of the systems such as DRUPS, Chiller, Generators, UPS, CRAC units to ensure that they did not have any single shared function that could cause the environment to go out of control.
A physical survey would have to be carried out to identify such weaknesses of generator cables running over transformers. If the transformer explodes the resultant fire would damage the cables. Whilst this is not a true single point of failure it is a potential risk which affects the site resilience. The operating regime for each system will need to be considered to ensure there is nothing within the system that would pose a total system risk. A good example of this is an N + X redundant system where the modules feed through a single static switch or output board. These two items are then the single points of failure.

General paresis
General paresis is aproblem withmental function due todamage to the brain from untreated syphilis.
General paresis is one form of neurosyphilis. Today it is very rare.
The syphilis infection can appear in many different ways and damages many different nerves of the brain. This damage can cause:
- Abnormal mental function including hallucinations and false ideas (delusions)
- Brief, sharp, "lightning" pains that occur with tabes dorsalis
- Decreased mental function
- Eye changes and abnormal pupil response
- Mood changes
- Overactive reflexes
- Personality changes
- Speech changes
General paresis usually begins about 15to 20 years after the syphilis infection. Risks include syphilis infection and infection with other sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea (which may hide symptoms of syphilis infection).
Syphilis infections are passed through sexual contact with an infected person.It canalso bespreadthrough nonsexual contact.
- Decreased language ability (aphasia)
- Decreased motivation
- Impaired judgment
- Loss of ability to calculate
- Loss of long-term memory (long-past events)
- Loss of short-term memory (recent events)
- Muscle weakness (difficulty using legs, arms, or other parts of the body)
- Personality changes
- Delusions, hallucinations
- Irritability, anger
- Inappropriate moods
- Low mood
- Seizures
Exams and Tests
Signs include:
- Change in the response of the pupil in the eye
- Irregular shape of the pupil
- Inability to stand with the eyes closed (Romberg test)
- Loss of sense of vibration and position
- Muscle weakness
- Problems with walking (gait)
- Slowly worsening dementia, with loss of many brain functions
The doctor may do the following tests:
- Eye exam
- Muscle exam
- Nervous system (neurologic) exam
Blood and urine tests to detect syphilis in the body include:
Tests of the nervous system may include:
The goals of treatment are to cure the infection and slow the disorder from getting worse. The doctor will prescribe penicillin or other antibiotics to treat the infection. Treatmentwill likelycontinue until the infection has completely cleared.
Treating the infection will reduce new nerve damage. But it will not cure damage that has already occurred. A follow-up examination of the cerebrospinal fluid is needed to see whether the antibiotic therapy worked.
Treatment of symptoms is needed for existing nervous system damage. Seizures rarely occur, but emergency treatment may be needed if they do. Anticonvulsant medicines can help control seizures.
Patients who are unable to care for themselves may need help with such activities as eating and dressing. Those with muscle weakness may need occupational therapy or physical therapy.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Without treatment, people can become disabled. People with late syphilis infections are more likely to get other infections and diseases.
Possible Complications
- Inability to care for yourself
- Inability to communicate or interact with others
- Injury due to seizures or falls
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you know you have been exposed to syphilis or othersexually transmittedinfection in the past, and have not already been treated.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of general paresis, especially if you know you have been infected with syphilis.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have seizures.
Treating primary syphilis and secondary syphilis infections will prevent general paresis.
Practicing safer sex, such as limiting partners and using protection, may reduce the risk of getting infected with syphilis. Avoid direct skin contact with persons who have secondary syphilis.
