CAMBRIDGE – Like most people who create an "ism," John Maynard Keynes quickly found his followers running ahead of him. "You are more Keynesian than I am," he once told a young American economist. Now it is the turn of his biographer, Robert Skidelsky, to become distinctly more Keynesian than Keynes.
Keynes was not averse to changing his mind. But, as far I am aware, he did not change his predictions after the fact. This does not seem to be the case for Skidelsky.
In November 2010, Skidelsky described British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne as a "menace to the future of the economy," whose policies "doomed" the United Kingdom to "years of interminable recession." In July 2011, he declared that Osborne was making a "wasteland."
None of this happened; the honest thing to do would be to admit that. But, in pseudo-science, you never acknowledge that a prediction was wrong and thus that the model might be defective. So now Skidelsky retrospectively "predicts" something quite different: "that the start of austerity aborted the recovery in 2010; that recovery would have come sooner if the pre-austerity level of public spending had been maintained; [and] that it was the reduction of austerity in 2012 that enabled the economy to expand again." With a flourish, he concludes: "The facts are consistent with Keynesian theory. Keynesians said austerity would cut output growth. Output growth fell."

Take a look at the video from Dreamer. I hope you enjoy!
So here I am…
I'm a story teller. You already know that. I invent things, sometimes things that I can not have. I dream. I want more time. I fly. I crawl. I dance. I manage to become hundreds of people, while the me that's inside is often lost and afraid. Do you love me? Do you hate me? Do you wonder who I am? Open your eyes.
The answer is very clear–so do I.
I am imperfect in a perfect world. "None of us are perfect parents." "Let he who is without sin throw the first stone." "No one looks like a television super- model(my apologies Naomi Campbell)." We are all what we are meant to be. We make mistakes and we learn.
Some of my most superlative photographs reveal flaws, show defects, and display the world as I want to see it–
–amazingly beautiful in its immense imperfection.
In and Out
The simple thought of motion defines so many parts of life. In a smaller sense it describes activity in a microcosm of our day. I went into the kitchen and came out with my coffee…
Maybe not what someone was expecting, but apt nonetheless.
I find the concept of a quick turn around defining many parts of life, and I object. We all prefer in the hospital to be a quick out of the hospital, but in love needs to last a life time.
I insist on the permanence of certain concepts–liberty, happiness, choice, freedom, love—being among my favorites. It makes me wonder how these things can so easily fall into the category of temporary.
Yes, someone may point out that liberty, freedom and choice are the same thing, but that is not always true…
My mind is open. How about you?
What's In Your Wallet?
I saw that on a television commercial. It made me actually consider if moths and lint counted as "in my wallet."
I always enjoyed my blog, but found that others were persnickety about the content–so I have been silent.
What's in my blog? My opinion, my ravings, my books, a little bit of who I am…and perhaps when you get right down to it, it only matters to me.
People have no right to pick me apart for my musings, but it becomes difficult to stand the strain. All of my lint and moths can feel very personal.
For now at least my wallet is empty. In the future I hope to have at least a few thoughts of my own. When that happens, I intend to share.
Dancer is Available as a Pre-Order
Today I thumbed My Nose At Indecision
That's right you heard me, indecision. Nuts to you. I can live without the stress you cause me.
Yes, I will make mistakes. Yes, I will need to re-edit my work. Yes, I will do things that I later abhor…but I will not give in to your demands.
Too often you have cheated me out of things that might have been. Too often I have not found the courage to listen to my heart. I'm done with you…
So today I thumb my nose at my old pastime of worry.
I will move forward…at least until tomorrow…
Making A Sound
In the proverbial forest, I fell without much of a noise. The subtle rustling of leaves, the scant passing of a single bird…no one was there except me.
I'd like to think that someone has noticed my absence, my tumble, but in the face of so many posts by so many talented people the chances seem minimal.
For all of you who have been waiting for Dancer, the book will be published on the 28th of this month available on Amazon.
For those of you who have been waiting for me to pick myself up from the forest floor…I am growing new sprouts, tending the flowers and about to bloom yet again.
Some of you may have heard that the Marithe series continues as book 3 brings us face-to-face with mortality. Mezzmer Collins must walk a narrow path between life and death. his role as a necromancer is balanced only by the futility of his real life. Navigating a path through rejection, he must find a way to conquer the evil that threatens the northlands while holding on to his own sanity.
Come join me in adventure this July!
What's All This?
Life is too short for extreme indignation. I've given up on anger. It only generates words that are best left unspoken, that must be justified later.
I have reason to be furious…we all can find them. He manipulated me, scolded me, treated me like dirt. Hate, however, gets us no where. It only hurts us and destroys relationships that could be mended.
Take a nap…I know I will.

No other wedding hall has such a festive and romantic atmosphere as the Marmorsaal at Mirabell Palace in Salzburg. Hundreds of couples from all over the world come here every year to tie the knot.
Planning a destination wedding can be quite challenging for the bride and groom.

Austria is definitely one of the most romantic places to say "I do".

In a surprise announcement that seemed scripted by the novelist Dan Brown, a Harvard professor revealed an ancient scrap of papyrus Tuesday that purports to refer to Jesus' wife.
The so-called "Gospel of Jesus' Wife" presents a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples, said Karen King, a well-respected historian of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School.
The fourth-century fragment says, "Jesus said to them, 'My wife ...,'" according to King. The rest of the sentence is cut off. The fragment also says "she will be able to be my disciple," according to King.
The discovery that some ancient Christians thought Jesus had a wife could shake up centuries-old Christian traditions, King suggested.
But even King acknowledged that questions remain about the receipt-sized scrap, which contains just 33 words and incomplete sentences. Here are five of the biggest questions.
Where did the papyrus come from?
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
We don't know. King says that "nothing is known about the circumstances of its discovery," an admission that has raised red flags for other scholars.
King speculates the fragment might have been tossed in an ancient garbage heap by someone who objected to the idea of Jesus being married. Christians fiercely debated celibacy and marriage in the first centuries after Christ's death.
The papyrus now belongs to an anonymous collector who asked King to analyze it. King says three scholars have determined that the fragment is not a forgery, but that further tests will be conducted on the ink. The scholar also says that she will press the fragment's anonymous owner to come forward.
Does it prove that Jesus was married?
No. King says the fragment is a fourth-century translation of a second-century Greek text. It's not quite old enough to prove that Jesus was married, King says -- only that early Christians discussed it.
"The earliest and most historically reliable evidence is entirely silent about Jesus's marital status," King says.
King also acknowledged that Jesus might have been speaking figuratively when he referred to "my wife." After all, the fragment is just 33 words long, with incomplete sentences and very little context.
What do other ancient texts say about Jesus being married?
The Bible, of course, says nothing about Jesus marrying, though New Testament writers occasionally used the metaphor of the church and God's people as the "bride of Christ."
Some of the Gnostic gospels -- ancient texts unearthed in the 20th century that are not included in the Christian canon -- suggest Jesus had an intimate relationship with Mary Magdalene. The apocryphal Gospel of Philip, for example, says that Jesus kissed Mary, and loved her more than the apostles.
But the Gnostics were often intimate in nonsexual ways. In the Gospel of Philip, for instance, Christians greet each other with kisses to convey the sense that they are a spiritual family, according to scholars.
Will this change contemporary Christianity?
King said her discovery could cause believers to rethink their assumptions about early Christian debates over marriage, celibacy and family. Those early arguments led to contemporary practices like the Roman Catholic Church's all-male, mostly unmarried priesthood.
Perhaps King is correct -- almost everything is open for debate in Christianity these days. After all, Christians are still arguing over homosexuality, the role of women in ministry and whether priests should marry.
But how many overhyped archaeological discoveries have proven less than world-changing under careful examination?
Remember the Gospel of Judas? He didn't betray Jesus. Or did he?
"The Gospel of Judas was so packed with opaque Gnostic metaphor that scholars are still debating whether it portrays Judas as a hero or a villain," said Gary Manning, an associate professor of New Testament studies at Biola University in La Mirada, Calif.
The so-called James ossuary then? As Roland Meynet, a biblical scholar at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, said Wednesday, "that made a lot of noise on newspapers, but was then revealed as a fraud."
Even if the new papyrus "were proved true, it would mean that there is a new apocryphal text from that time, as there are many," Meynet said. "It won't reopen the debate and, anyway, we must wait for verification and be very cautious until we know the origin of the fragment."
How will the Vatican respond?
If the Vatican's new communications team is as good as they say it is, Rome will stay silent.
The Vatican and its media-savvy friends in Opus Dei said all they needed or wanted to say about Jesus' marital status during the whole Da Vinci Code saga a few years ago. They will likely let scholarly surrogates debate this one, while the hierarchy sits on the sidelines.
The Vatican insists there's nothing new to debate about the gender and celibacy requirements for its priesthood. It's unlikely that a business card-sized scrap of papyrus of dubious origin is going to change that.
Or perhaps Pope Benedict XVI, himself a renowned scholar, will indirectly enter the fray over the fragment. He just finished his third and final installment on the historical Jesus. It will be published around Christmas, and will likely be as well received as the previous two, and sell as strongly.

Fitness key to LaParva camp
The US men's speed group has just wrapped up a fast moving two week on snow camp in LaParva, Chile covering a lot of bases and getting up to speed in more ways than one. By all accounts the team, which numbered eight, is in better condition than last season which was good since they were taking a 1:20 runs at more than 10,000 feet.
"A minute 20 at that altitude and you're huffing pretty good," deadpanned team veteran Marco Sullivan.
A new conditioning coach, former Austrian team trainer Tony Beretzki, instituted a tougher training regime that kept the huffing to a minimum and frankly allowed the campers to get in the work they did.
Head speed coach Andi Evers, now entering his second season with the US team said,
"the whole team made good steps forward. Conditioning wise we're in better shape this year. We could do, for sure, more that last year."
He (Berezki) has a lot of experience in the sport and they worked really hard and this is what you can now see on skis. They're getting better and better and stronger. This is what you need to do to beat all those guys in Europe."
Sullivan feels those guys in Europe are starting to take notice. "Yeah, I think they're watching their back… Our new trainer worked with the Austrians in their power days… With the more regimented routine, I think the team overall is more fit." Andrew Weibrecht would concur with that analysis.
"physically I think it was a good team pre-season. I feel really strong and fit and I think the whole team does."
The added strength allowed for more on-snow time and the entire group was finishing timed runs within a second or so of each other. "I feel the level is pretty high," said Sullivan.
Coach Evers seems to feel that way, too. So far no team leader has stepped out. "Everyone can be the leader," Evers said. "Everyone workd hard and feels they have a little chance this winter. There is still work to do for the next camps, and for sure it is a good strong downhill team. A few guys did well… but is not good for the boys to tell too much."
For Weibrecht, not only coming back from injury but also getting accustomed to new gear for the first time in his career, there was much to take in.
"Part of it was a little glidy," said Andrew Weibrecht, of the LaParva track, "but fast, It was good to work on it (gliding). It was good to get back up to speed.
"It's a fun challenge," says Weibrecht "to learn a different set-up. I'd been with Rossi (Rossignol) for so long… just getting the comfort on the new stuff (He has transitioned to Head). I felt it was coming along good right at the end. I'm pretty pysched about the whole deal… For me the camp was revitalizing.

What we've also learned is that although play is as natural and spontaneous as breathing for children, this isn't always the case with the grownups in their lives and as adults we often lose touch with our playful side. We did some research with our Eureka! visitors early in 2012 which demonstrated that parents and grandparents were really keen on playing with their children but they often found themselves making excuses about not having enough time or not really having any good ideas about how to play that didn't involve expensive toys or gadgets. So off they'd go to get their household chores done and the kids inevitably ended up in front of the telly, xbox or a computer screen.
Our experts at Eureka! aren't at all happy about this because we want families to take advantage of every opportunity to enrich their lives through play. So we've made it our mission to make play a priority for every family in the UK by providing background information and ideas to help children and adults alike discover the joy of playing together.
Having just come through the joy and excitement surrounding Christmas, January can feel like a bit of a letdown once the tree is recycled and the decorations are packed away so it's a great time to lift everyone's spirits with some family playtime, and we'd like to help you start the New Year off on a positive and playful note or, as children's author Robert Munsch says in Mortimer, with a "clang clang rattle bing bang".
2013 New Year resolution – play more with less
We've all seen it happen….it's Christmas day and amidst the flurry of wrapping paper, tinsel and bows, the bright and shiny toys that our little ones so desperately had to have are lying idle while the cardboard box it came in seems to be getting all the attention! Why, we ask ourselves, did we spend so much money on all these gifts if a cardboard box would have done the trick?
Simply put, the answer is primarily that we love our children dearly and we want to make them happy through the presents we give them. In this day and age, this laudable intention has come to mean buying them the latest greatest piece of technology or "must-have" toy as dictated by the commercial world and reinforced by your children's peer group.
In actual fact, it may be that your child doesn't actually want the toy or gadget of the moment but feels they must have it in order to keep pace with their friends. What the Christmas cardboard box shows is that children are much more inspired by very simple objects and activities that allow them to use their imagination and direct their own play, to turn their cardboard box into a spaceship, a boat, a robot, whatever they fancy and to create their own adventure without the limitations imposed by manufactured toys, games and electronic gadgets.
This is what we've always tried to achieve at Eureka! We provide environments that encourage children to explore their own interests, to slowly step outside their natural comfort zones and to try out new experiences and try on various roles that help them identify their potential. Without a doubt a visit to Eureka! is a great way to kickstart the New Year but don't let the fun end when you leave the building. Use the following ideas to keep the play habit going. We're sure once you get started you'll never want to stop and you and your children will soon be coming up with all sorts of creative play ideas on your own.
Our top 5 Play Ideas for A Happy 2013
- Boxing Days – We all know that sometimes the box is just as exciting as the present so why not extend the fun and turn large boxes into something from your imagination such as a rocket, car or castle. Draw on the sides to create windows, doors or wheels and use old clothes for dressing up and items from around the house as props.
- Christmas Card Craft – Instead of throwing away Christmas cards, recycle them. Help children cut out the designs, punch a hole in the top, add some ribbon and voila! Thrifty gift tags for next year's presents!
- Become a Treasure Hunter or Pirate – Adults will need to hide the treasure around the house or garden and draw a map to help the children find their loot. A handkerchief on your head and using some beads can help you look and feel more piratey! See if the children can do a treasure hunt for you as well.
- Jam session – Using only items that are found in the room that you are in for instruments, see who can come up with the most creative instrument or make the most unique sound.
- Target practice – Turn a waste-paper basket into a monster's mouth with some paper and crayons – roll up socks to act as pies and throw them to feed the monster! How far can you throw them?
For even more great ideas visit our website Play 20: Playtime Anytime.

Last week I happened to spend some time with Pirate's House founder Herb Traub and looked at some of his old menus.
Maybe the opening of the Telfair Museum of Art's Jepson Center would be a good time to resurrect one of the classic restaurant's slogans: "Linger Longer in Savannah."
The Jepson could be a linchpin for not only drawing more tourists, but also for encouraging them to stay longer. (The Roundhouse has the same potential when all the work is finished there.)
That's just one of the many economic benefits that we're likely to see after the official opening of the Jepson on March 10.
But the benefits go beyond tourism.
The museum's opening will draw many more locals downtown and will therefore be a real shot in the arm for businesses on Broughton Street and nearby squares.
Also, many readers of this paper expressed concern that the demise of the Savannah Symphony Orchestra would work against efforts to lure knowledge-based, higher-wage businesses to the city. If that's true, then certainly the Jepson will be a big check on the plus column.
Money's great, of course, but the Jepson isn't ultimately about the bottom line. It's about art, about education, about cultural opportunities for those of us who already live here.
A new educational and cultural resource
Even given the tight spaces of the academy, the Telfair was already being visited by every fourth grader in the local public schools and was also frequented by students, young and old, throughout the region.
Still, the Jepson's educational facilities - including a large, well-stocked classroom - represent vast improvements.
In the second and third floor atria of the south building is the interactive ArtZeum, which just might offer the "most fun" of any attraction in the Historic District.
The large gallery in the southeast corner of the third floor has been named in honor of native Savannahian and famed MOMA curator Kirk Varnedoe. When the Jepson opens to the public on March 10, the gallery will feature a show of more than 20 new gifts to the permanent collection by artists whom Varnedoe championed. They're big names: Johns, Stella, Close, Serra, Rauschenberg and Lichtenstein.
Look for the Jepson Center to attract many more major gifts like those.
There are several other galleries, but the Steward Gallery, stretching the entire length of the two buildings on the western side of the top level, is the big prize. It's a huge interior space that can accommodate works and shows that never came here in the past. The first show is devoted to work by Robert Rauschenberg and his former assistant Darryl Pottorf. (That show was already hanging when I visited the Jepson about a week ago, but I was so enamored of the building that I hardly glanced at the art.)
The south building's Neises Auditorium with its 200 stadium seats will obviously revolutionize the Telfair's current lectures and programs, but it opens other vistas too.
Here's hoping that the Telfair staff and financial supporters will follow the lead of other major museums in the country and launch series after series of classic, foreign and independent films.
And a few thoughts on the architecture
Sure, the new building took a long time, but go to Moshe Safdie's Web site (www.msafdie.com) and look at the timelines of his firm's other projects. An eight-year span from conception to completion is pretty common. Big, ambitious institutional projects simply take a long time.
And it may be a long time before we can clearly position Safdie's building in the pantheon of Savannah architecture, but here's my two cents worth.
Safdie's buildings clearly "fit" their environments. They don't, however, simply "blend."
Some are complements to, even extensions of, the natural world. Look at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Israel, or the extraordinary design for the Crystal Bridges cultural center in Bentonville, Ark. (That would be Wal-Mart money, folks.)
Even in more rigid urban environments, Safdie often employs slanting or sloping exterior walls, routinely dominated by glass, to create excitement at the juncture of private and public spaces.
There are slanting walls on the Jepson too, but they're inside.
From the first, Safdie's exterior designs were controlled by the very nature of Savannah's grids and traditional structures.
Initially, I disliked the large white additions to the north facade that seemed merely an exercise to meet an arbitrary requirement of the Historic Review Board.
But whatever one calls those big structures: "ruins," "aitches" or "crosses," they accomplish at least three things. They provide a visual buffer between inside and outside more in keeping with Savannah mores than pure glass did, they respect the line of the other buildings along York Street, and they add to the exterior visual cadence of the columns and mass of the Telfair Academy and Trinity Methodist.
I hate to say it, but that long design review process might have actually made the building better, even if the delays were intended by some to put a stop to the building altogether.
While the Jepson exterior is dominated by straight lines, the inside is all swoops and curves which permit dramatic shifts in light as the day progresses. Shadows produced by the slats along the rooftop windows work magic with the large reception areas and the grand staircase.
The sometimes curving walls in the elegantly shaped galleries do not hamper the hanging or the viewing of the art, with the possible exception of a couple of odd corners.
In his stated philosophy, Safdie says that architecture should embrace the "symbolic practices" of "ritual" and "ceremony."
And perhaps it's this emphasis on our emotional grasp of interior spaces that struck me the most when I recently toured the Jepson with the Telfair's Jim Battin.
Opponents of the Jepson might have expected another cold, sterile postmodern building, but that's not what the museum evokes, from inside or outside.
There are spaces in the Jepson - the massive lobby, the staircase landing above the lane, the view of Telfair Square from the second floor cafe - where the building simply produces wonder.
It's been a long haul to this point for Telfair Director Diane Lesko, her staff, all of the building's financial supporters, the local firm of Hansen Architects and the people whose lives have been disrupted by the construction, but the end result is simply an extraordinary addition to the city.

ZooBorns is a new site dedicated to scarfing up everyone else's internet traffic by posting nothing but cute baby animals, like these Red Panda Cubs recently born in the Edmonton Valley Zoo:
Zooborn is produced by Chris and Andrew, who are very dedicated animal-symps. Andrew runs the blog Zooillogix.
ZooBorns brings you the newest and cutest exotic animal babies from zoos and aquariums around the world. As you can see, the site itself is a newborn, but we're here to stay, so check back frequently for new critters!
The Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens) lives in central/southern Asia (China, India, s.e. Asia, and Bhutan). It is not a panda, but rather, a member of the group that includes the weasels, skunks, and raccoons. For a long time people thought they were a kind of panda, and the history of that controversy is a mildly interesting story that I won't go into here. One of the complicating facotrs is that Red Pandas eat bamboo, as to Giant Pandas.
But the strangest thing about the Red Panda is that it is the only mammal that starts out cute and grows up to be even cuter!!! This is an adult Red Panda (photograph from Wikipedia, Creative Commons Copyright):

New Delhi, Jan 8 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Tuesday issued notice to Delhi Police on a plea challenging the imposition of restrictions on the gathering of people at and around India Gate during anti-rape protests.
A division bench of Chief Justice D. Murugesan and Justice V.K. Jain sought a response from police within two weeks and posted the matter for Feb 6.
"How can a special executive magistrate extend the period to impose Section 144 of CrPC when the power lies only with the state government to extend the period," asked the bench.
"Whether this section can be imposed without applying the mind (by special executive magistrate), we have to look into that," said the bench, hearing a public interest litigation by advocate Anand K. Mishra challenging imposition of Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) prohibiting assembly of five or more people at and around India Gate.
The bench asked police "to explain as to how a special executive magistrate can be vested with the power to impose prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC for up to six months despite the same being contrary to the fundamental rights of citizens".
"You can't uniformly, just like that, extend the operation of section 144 as it is in contrast with the fundamental rights of the citizens," it said.
Refusing to frame guidelines on the issue, the bench said: "We will certainly look into the delegation of power to the special executive magistrate to impose section 144 of CrPC."
Meanwhile, counsel appearing for Delhi Police told the court that the prohibitory orders imposed on Dec 22 at and around India Gate will lapse on Jan 14.
Mishra's plea said there were "unreasonable restrictions" on peaceful assembly and movement of public.

DETROIT - Detroit children and teens have a new place to cool off during the summer heat in Palmer Park.
The Detroit Recreation Department celebrated the grand opening of the Palmer Park Splash Park on Sunday.
The new park and picnic facility were donated by the Lear Corporation with support from the city.
Construction on the project started in mid-July and moved quickly so children could enjoy the park before summer's end.
Palmer Park was chosen by the Detroit Recreation Department as the location for the city's second splash park.
The location was chosen in part because People for Palmer Park (PFPP), a non-profit entity, adopted the park and organized community events to clean it up.
The park is motion-censored and is programmed to turn on at 10 a.m., and automatically shut off at 8 p.m.
"The splash park will provide a safe, fun and creative play atmosphere for families, and will encourage more people to enjoy this wonderful park," said Rochelle Lento, PFPP President. "The People for Palmer Park is extremely grateful to Lear Corporation and the City of Detroit for selecting Palmer Park."
Lear also built a new picnic shelter and planted grass, flowers and other landscaping enhancements to the park area.
In the future, Lear plans to renovate the former pool house into a community center.
The park replaces the non-functional pool in Palmer Park, which has been closed for many years after vandals removed the mechanical infrastructure for the pool.

DAYTON, Ohio-Modern technology is greatly improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness and disease, but patients in resource-scarce areas worldwide often lack access to even basic health technology. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a global initiative to address this disparity, and a Wright State University professor is playing a key role.
Katherine Cauley, Ph.D., associate professor of community health with the WSU Boonshoft School of Medicine and director of the school's Center for Healthy Communities, was selected to serve on the WHO Expert Advisory Group for Innovative Technologies for the "Global Initiative on Health Technologies" project. Cauley is the only U.S. representative to the group.
The goal of the project is to bring the benefits of core health technologies to resource-scarce areas of the world. The project is organized by the Department of Essential Technologies within the WHO Division of Health Systems and Services and is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
As a member of the Expert Advisory Committee for the project, Cauley joins representatives of 23 countries spanning North, Central and South America, as well as Africa, Australia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Committee members will collaborate to identify health issues in resource-scarce regions that are likely to respond to health technologies, to solicit business and industry proposals to apply those technologies and to determine which proposals will move forward in partnership with the WHO.
The three-year project began with a meeting in Singapore in June to review current health issues and potential technology solutions. In 2010 the committee will reconvene in Copenhagen to review proposals submitted from business and industry.
Cauley's expertise in innovative health technologies centers around her involvement with the Nationwide Health Information Network Cooperative, a group of all federal agencies and 15 non-federal organizations serving as National Health Information Exchanges. In the greater Dayton area, HealthLink RHIO is the National Health Information Exchange. HealthLink RHIO maintains the HealthLink Information Exchange or HIEx™ for health and social services providers. The HIEx system is an electronic shared community health record that facilitates exchange of information across provider offices to improve care quality and reduce costs, particularly for underserved community members.

Homosexuals face abuse and violations of their human rights, say activists, who are planning to launch a campaign to raise awareness of their plight. Members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community are working through the Myanmar LGBT Rights Network to promote equal rights and justice.
Ko Hla Myat Tun, an LGBT rights program officer for civil society group Colour Rainbow, told The Myanmar Times that activists plan to work with government officials, legal advisers, ethnic minorities, community-based organisations and the media to put a stop to homophobia.
"Homosexuals are being abused and face discrimination in education, jobs and healthcare. It's time to raise their voice in public," he said.
"We need to educate people that [being] LGBT is not a disease or a threat to society, or something to be ashamed of. We will work until society accepts the reality of the homosexual condition and ends discrimination," he said.
Any kind of human rights abuse or violence can be reported to the network, Ko Hla Myat Tun said.
"We will try to help the victim by providing legal advice or support," he said. "The most important thing is to change long-term traditional attitudes, and LGBT themselves should take the lead [on this]. It's useless to blame government or the police or society, but we can offer respectful examples of LGBT identity."
Ko Moe Aung of Myanmar MSM Network said the law against homosexual activity should be abolished or amended as it is an affront to human rights.
"The police use abusive language and physical violence against us because of our physical appearance or profession. If they're in a good mood it goes no further than that, but otherwise they charge us with a crime," he said.
Most MSM members are poor and struggle to make a living while trying to steer clear of the police, he said, adding: "Our status is low, but that doesn't mean we're criminals. Discrimination by society denies us job opportunities."
Members of the LGBT community want to be treated as human beings and live in society with dignity but this is hindered by old attitudes and malpractices, he said.
"We want to contribute and put our abilities at the service of society," said Ko Moe Aung.
U Aung Myo Min, executive director of Equality Myanmar, said Myanmar retainss laws against homosexuality that have long since repealed by Britain, its former colonial occupier. "We should lobby government to rethink [anti-sodomy sections of the Penal Code] … [these laws are] an abuse of human rights and discriminatory against homosexuals," he said.
On May 17, Colour Rainbow and Myanmar LGBT Rights Network marked International Day against Homophobia (IDAHO) with events in Yangon, Mandalay, Pyay, Monywa, Pathein, Kyaukpadaung and Kawthoung that were supported by the British Embassy, UNAIDS and other organisations.
Dr Nyan Zaw, a member of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission, said at a ceremony in Yangon that the commission would support the LGBT community's push for equality. "Any abuse or physical torture can be reported to the commission and we will pursue the matter," he said.
Equality Myanmar and Colour Rainbow have documented instances of discrimination against, and human rights abuse of, LGBT individuals living in Myanmar. The study also shows how section 377 of the Penal Code, which bans sodomy, contributes to harmful social discrimination, impunity for law enforcement agents and the repression of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Why Summer Reese Is Still The Executive Director Of The Pacifica Foundation
January 30th 2014, Pacifica foundation signed a 3 year contract for Executive Director with Summer Reese. The relevant parts of that employment contract show why Summer Reese remains the Executive Director in spite of actions taken by "the board" * on March 13th.
We call for honoring the Executive Director's contract;
No selling of any Pacifica stations and fiscal accountability.
Help resist the coup.
Berkeley - At the Pacifica National Office at 1925 Martin Luther King Jr Way, the March 13th late-night attempted firing of the executive director, Summer Reese, is being resisted by Pacifica staff members and listeners. The dismissal, which happened at a late-night telephone meeting of Pacifica board members, with no prior notification and for no stated reason, looks headed to a court room.
Executive Director Summer Reese returned to work and allowed Pacifica staff members to return to work Monday morning by removing the padlock that had been placed on the door.
The Pacifica National Board has not met since March 13th and is not scheduled to meet again until March 20th. Several incumbent directors stated they had not received any notification of nor been asked to consent to the action initiated by the board regarding the meeting of the 13th.
On the evening of Monday March 17th, a small number of coup supporters tried to force the employees out of the Pacifica office, but they left unsuccessful.
On the morning of the attempted firing, it is reported Berkeley station KPFA next door had refused to turn over its financial records for an annual audit. Many thousands of dollars in event income from the last two-dozen speaker series events, for example, have reportedly not been accounted for.
The legitimacy of the election of the Pacifica National Board officers is being contested by the minority directors for several reasons.

(ii) Being charged with any criminal act related to employment at Pacifica;
(iii) Conduct that violates Pacifica's established work rules in a substantial manner.
In the event Pacifica removes Reese for cause after the probationary period, Pacifica shall pay Reese severance pay equal to her base salary for the remaining duration of the contract up the a maximum of one year's salary, along with accrued vacation time up to the stated cap. In the event Reese voluntarily separates from Pacifica during the duration of this contract Pacifica shall pay Reese accrued vacation time up to the stated cap.

Accordingly, no further period of at-will employment is required prior to the January 30, 2014 beginning date of this employment contract.
*The legitimacy of the election of the Pacifica National Board officers is being contested by the minority for several reasons.

Is this the language from the original contract approved by the board, or is it the one Richard Uzzell substituted on the last day of the board's term before his faction lost the majority?
Monday Mar 24th, 2014 9:07 AM
Trying daily to just find actual factual reasonable info on internet without the obviously maliciously slanted versions is difficult ! or rather, to learn what is actual and happening is either hidden or unspoken, unwritten, secret and as in the usual Pacifica games of secrecy and maneuverings, are not available.
The usual biased games have suddenly magnified to the top in search engines now. Pacifica and it's local stations hypocritically say they believe in 'freedom of speech' and 'transparency'... thus claiming the Right to criticize and decry all others of manipulating behind closed secreted doors and drawers.
But then peace-activists all do worse and more of the same without admitting their own secret collusions of DIVIDE the people, break up the goals and scatter the effects of the 'news' and 'programs' the stations claim are true and unique - and they easily then discard higher claimed values. along with their MISSION statement - that ideal that has been eroded and forgotten.
This brief article adds more information than all the rantings and alliances and self-serving interests or even the general sensationalism preferred by other sites.
Thanks and please Follow UP with more and share your sights widely.
Monday Mar 24th, 2014 2:16 PM
It's not informative if you don't know the motivation of the original poster and they give no context and no link for the section of the contract they are providing. It's one potentially very biased side of a story.

Do you people have any idea how absolutely batty you look? Everyone on all sides of this schoolyard spat should be ashamed of themselves, but I fear they're so far gone that they are incapable of feeling shame.

"Do you people have any idea how absolutely batty you look? Everyone on all sides of this schoolyard spat should be ashamed of themselves, but I fear they're so far gone that they are incapable of feeling shame"
This is not a schoolyard spat. This is, on the one side, an attempt to take over KPFA, at the expense of destroying the only progressive radio network in the US, with 5 stations and 180 affiliates, and on the other, to save it so it can continue to bring truth to the airwaves and serve communities.
With this comment you are either deliberately or out of ignorance aiding its destruction.
This is a typical troll/destroyer post - short, using abusive language, devoid of factual content.
I believe the government has assets who are put up to this activity.
If out of ignorance, either study what's really going on here, or stay out of the argument.
There is much information at supportkpfa.org . (The lies are at "Save" KPFA.)
Tuesday Apr 8th, 2014 5:17 PM
The main post by the anonymous "Policy Respect" says Pacifica acknowledges Summer Reese earned $72,000/yr. The legal complaint filed on behalf of Reese, linked at supportkpfa.org, lists her salary for a 3-year contract at $315,000 or $105,000/yr. That's quite a bit to run a listener-supported network that's in financial trouble. The 11 of 22 Board members who voted to fire her may be saving the network some money.
Friday Apr 11th, 2014 8:02 PM
Thanks for continuing to try to make sense of it when a lot of people just throw up their hands. It's a real struggle, with real issues that have to do with both KPFA content and KPFA's relationship to the community.
Friday Apr 11th, 2014 8:18 PM
It's more than a schoolyard spat. If you don't have time for it, that's cool. But there are real issues that have to do with both KPFA content and KPFA's relationship to its community, within its fm signal area and in its online community.
Monday Apr 14th, 2014 11:18 PM
Come out from under your delusions and take a look around "Long Time Listener Supporter." No one cares about this. No one is going to read any of your silly websites. There are no "good guys" here fighting the "good fight." There is no "greater cause." It's just a bunch of seriously out of touch people behaving like overgrown children. The fact that you people can't see that is the real pity.
I issue this challenge. Ask the first 10 random people about this and see if they care. I'm not talking about people in your narrow little circle. I'm talking ordinary people, say at a grocery store in, I don't know, Redwood City or Concord or somewhere in the signal area. Ask them what they think about KPFA, or any of this nonsense. See if anyone knows, or cares about this rubbish. And no it's not because they're "uninformed" or controlled by the "mass media" or any of the arrogant terms people like you use to describe people that don't agree with you. It's because they're living their lives and have more important things to think about.
Thursday May 15th, 2014 6:21 PM
The "majority" on the Pacifica National Board (PNB) comprises only eleven (11) directors, since the twelfth, viz., Tony Norman, is deemed under the Bylaws to have resigned on the moment he simultaneously held a public office, i.e., a Commissionership on Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1B of the District of Columbia. Therefore, under the Bylaws, Norman putatively resigned from any seat on PNB.
The Bylaws also *require* that PNB comprise a "minimum" of twenty-two (22) Director-seats. Eleven is one half that number; it is not a "majority."
All this talk about a "majority" and "minority" had best be put aside while PNB is not fully constituted!

Reese says she has no Social Security number for religious reasons. That's really strange. Has it been established that that is her real name? Where did she go to college?

Theater an outreach into community for Manning pastor
The Rev. Ernest Shipe, who plays the ship's captain for the mystery-dinner performance "Murder on the Lust Boat," considers theater an outreach for his ministry.
Shipe, who is pastor of the Manning Community Church, is as comfortable on the stage as he is in the pulpit.
"I've been on stage since I was 3 years old," said Shipe. "I've always loved being in the spotlight, but it's an outlet that I don't do professionally."
He likens the performances to his career as a military chaplain.
"I stand before a group of people, convincing them of something," he said. "It's the same with the little kids. On Wednesdays, I lead games for the AWANA program."
Shipe came to Manning 2 1/2 years ago through Village Missions.
"Village Missions is a non-denominational organization that has as its purpose to bring full-time leadership to small struggling country churches that either are ready to close or just can't afford a full-time pastor," Shipe said.
Manning is his first assignment with Village Missions, after spending the last 18 years as a veterans' hospital chaplain.
The Manning Community Church is on Highway 22, where 6,000 trucks drive by each day, he said.
Believing there were unmet spiritual needs in the region, Shipe said the church committed itself to reach into the oil patch.
The church started the Thursday Night Jo program in November. From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., the church offers free coffee and snacks to anyone who drives by.
"The reason we chose the program is between Dickinson and Williston after 10 p.m., nothing is open," Shipe said. "It's cold out there and we wanted to provide a cup of coffee. You can't miss us, we have a big lighted sign on the church."
The outreach fills the motto of Village Missions -- to preach the Word and love the people, Shipe said.
"My whole job is getting to love the people anywhere in the community, find something and get involved," he added. "That's why I do theater. It's part of my ministry -- to get involved."
The church recently launched a second program -- showing family-friendly movies at 7 p.m. Tuesdays at the church.
"Anything that gets people to ask what's going on over here," he said.
Sunday school starts at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship services at 11 a.m. Sunday.
A native of Hawaii, Shipe has traveled around the country as a chaplain. While living in Alabama, he performed with "South Pacific and "Fiddler on the Roof." He's done "Camelot" in Wisconsin and "the HMS Pinafore" in North Carolina.
While Shipe sings opera, he relies on Kevin Kirsch to head the musical ministry.
Shipe and his wife, Linda, have six children and eight grandchildren. Their son, Derek, lives at Manning, while the others are scattered around the country.
"I came to Manning with no expectations, but it's been a great ministry and a real blessing," Shipe said. "I have found wonderful people -- it's a great place and I love North Dakota."

Are you the next great data developer?February 5, 2013
Are you the next great data developer? If so, you could win $10,000 from DataStax.
Today we are kicking off our "Next Great Data Developer Contest". The contest offers two undergraduate or graduate-level computer science students the chance to win scholarships of $10,000 each for developing an application on Apache™ Cassandra.
Big data applications are one of the fastest growing and most impactful segments of the tech industry today, and there are more opportunities available for talented young developers than there are people who can fill them. So we at DataStax have decided to help bring attention to this hot field and encourage greater participation in science, technology and mathematics by highlighting the great work produced by our participants.
DataStax is also committed to championing women in technology, and we will award one of our two scholarships to a female developer. We've selected two of the best Cassandra developers in the industry, Kelly Sommers who is also a DataStax MVP, and Gwen Shapira, to judge the apps.
Fostering the open-source community is a huge priority for us, so we will evaluate contestants not only on their development skills, but also their ability to document and share their experience with the Cassandra community. Contestants must document the process of building a Cassandra application using tools such as an active blog, video recordings, a business case presentation and working prototypes of their program on GitHub. This will help other members of the community grow their skills and learn new things even if they can't participate in the contest.
This is a great opportunity for students to get fired up and show off their skills, so sign up today and see if you are the next great data developer!

Greg Matthews wants Ashton Agar to continue being his own man despite the youngster falling foul of officialdom as part of Cricket Australia's stance on player discipline this season. And Matthews has declared he can help the left-arm spinner have a long Test career by rejoining forces with Agar.
Matthews does not want to see Agar, who won the public's hearts while hitting a breathtaking 98 batting at No.11 on Test debut, become a ''generic'' modern athlete. Matthews lauded Shane Watson as a player comfortable to speak openly and frankly about issues but said he was a rarity.
Matthews was stunned Agar was sanctioned for dissent for staring at an umpire after being given out, although the 20-year-old later pleaded guilty and accepted a one-match suspension. ''For looking at an umpire, golly, I don't know, that's pretty funky,'' Matthews said.
Agar is the latest player to be punished by CA this season. Others have been sanctioned for code of behaviour breaches ranging from dissent, abuse of equipment, obscene language and detrimental public comment. CA has wanted to bring the domestic game more in line with ICC standards this season.
Matthews was no friend of officialdom during his career although his contribution to cricket was recognised by Cricket NSW last year when they inducted him into their Hall of Fame.
Matthews wants to renew his partnership with Agar, whom he advised during the Ryobi Cup.
Agar has found life tougher in his second season, averaging 48 with the ball and 17 with the bat at Shield level. He has also been overlooked for all forms of the game by the same selectors who handed him a shock call-up last year.
''If Ashton spends a season with me he could play a lot of Test cricket, and it wouldn't take him a season, he'd get it pretty quickly,'' Matthews said.
He wants to see Agar shelve the ''flying saucer'' where he spreads his arms in his approach to the crease. ''Hands close together, hands wide apart, when do you have most control?'' Matthews said. ''History tells you, you have to be extra, extra good to overcome those deficiencies.''
Matthews wants to take Agar ''back to kindergarten'' so they can discuss and analyse his game. ''You don't want to make robots of everyone but what you are trying to do is take them to a place they don't know exists because they're not doing it,'' he said. ''He's a good man and you know with good people he'll do OK but also because they'll get things quicker.''
Agar's manager Jason Bakker said the bowler had learnt from his indiscretion. ''Part of the learning process is to know and understand where the boundaries are,'' Bakker said.

Why is it the more educated we become the more complicated we make things?
I was facilitating a Motivational Interviewing [MI] group the other day and during a discussion on the 5A's, the topic of Prochaska and DiClemente's Transtheoretical model [TTM] came up; specifically the stages of change. This got the entire group thinking about the complexities of behavior change and the most prolific model we use to describe it.
Since the 1980s when the TTM debuted, the stages of change have become the most widely used approach to explaining behavior change; thus it is the model most professionals [working on any sort of change process] have become familiar with. The substance abuse and medical worlds have been two sectors that have relied heavily on use of this model. Since its inception the TTM has been heralded as the kissing cousin of Motivational Interviewing [MI]. In all actuality, however, one of the originators of MI, William Miller, clarified in an article dubbed Ten Things that MI is Not [2009], that the stages of change where originally associated with MI only because, they provided a logical way of seeing how MI fits into the clinical process, but in the end, the stages of change model is not MI.
For substance abuse treatment, the TTM allowed for a fresh new look into addiction and allowed us to see how individuals made their way through phases regarding change behavior. One pivotal discovery birthed by this model was that patients needed motivational enhancement towards change more than they needed blame for their existing situation. Look at any substance abuse counseling program curriculum [and even some medical school curricula] and you are bound to find a class that mentions the TTM and its role in behavior modification. The insight that the TTM gave treatment professionals is absolutely extraordinary and subsequently the prevention world has coveted the TTM like a golden calf.
Leanardo Da Vinci has a famous quote that states "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". To me the TTM lacks this ultimate sophistication. Some may argue that you could not get a simpler model than one that has managed to reduce the complex nature of behavior change down to a mere five step process. However, I feel that the TTM is in need of one more round of distillation. According to the stages of change, people make their way from a precontemplative state, to contemplative, to preparation, then to action and after that they maintain: Then the cycle repeats [see below].
TTM Stages of Change Model
What this says to me is that what kind of Inaction the patient is in somehow matters more than the inaction itself. We are in constant flux and eternally making our way in and out of readiness regarding any behavior and quite simply it seems unnecessary to complicate the matter anymore than it needs to be. A simpler more therapeutically helpful perspective is that people are either in action or in ambivalence; nothing more.
Maybe it is we the therapist that is assisted most by the stages of change; not in that it teaches us more about the patient, but more about ourselves. Knowing that the patient is contemplative, in preparation or any other phase of the stage of change model may just be a way to help us feel better about the unknown nature of the situation. We resource the stages of change algorithm, place the patient in precontemplation and then [according to one manual] "encourage them to become more mindful of their decision making and more conscious of the multiple benefits of changing an unhealthy behavior". This is stated like patient behavior is a forecastable action.
What we typically find is that in action is not where we find most of our patients. I'd venture in saying that only about 10% of patients are in action mode; leaving 90% in ambivalence. For this 90% of the population we rely on motivational interviewing to work through the ambivalence, roll with the resistance and navigate a next step that derives from the patients wants and needs at that time. We don't educate, advise or assist, we just sit there in the ambivalence with them, negotiating this unknown territory as if it were our own journey. We save the rest of the five A's [Advice, Agree, Assist and Arrange] for the action phase: the other ten percent—a very small portion.
I once read, when people are in ambivalence it is like Linus without his blanket, we have nothing to hold on to. So we ourselves reach for something to grab hold of, to stabilize the spin. I think the complexity of the TTM merely gives providers a blanket to hold on to. It is an ameliorating agent for us; something to ground us as we flounder around looking for a way to help the patient out of their current predicament. What is a bit more difficult to master yet profoundly more therapeutic is to fully embrace that we are only accountable for the interaction with and not the outcome of the situation. In doing so we are able to commit to the patient without any expectation of an outcome and thus we can be more comfortable with their ambivalence. We then know that the best thing we can do is sit in the unknowness with the patient, experiencing the moment with them and not try to fix or right the situation.
The stages of change are very useful, but only if you use them cautiously. The problem that I have discovered is that they can facilitate an assumptive pattern, pigeonholing people into a mold that which we think they fit. This is done with such subtlety that we ourselves don't even see it happening. Rechecking the manual I see that the patient is now contemplative so I must "encourage them to reduce their harmful behaviors and look for change within the next six months". If this were true, my life would be quite boring, but a heck of a lot easier.
In the vein of Keeping It So Simple [KISS] I often think back to a childhood movie when Yoda explained to Luke one fateful day in the swamp. He said: "Do or do not, there is no try". I think lil' man Yoda may be on to something.
Wow Pete, please take off your shoes when you address the Trans-Theoretical Model. It is a sacred calf and when you approach it you are standing on holy ground. Your heresy is that by dropping from 5 levels of readiness to 2, you are also dropping the model's 2 greatest strengths: Hope and Change.
Hope. As astutely posited in your essay and supporting literature, MI is an evidence-based practice, but readiness assessment through the TTM is not. Fair enough, but how do you separate the 2 since they have been co-mingled since birth? How do you separate the science supporting MI from the science of TTM since most clinicians choose their MI interventions on how they gauge their client's place on the TTM scale?
When you collapse the levels of TTM, you're left with just 2 levels: abstinent or not. In the process you also take MI from a harm reduction model to an abstinence model. Yes, there is simplicity in this, but there is no hope. Once you carve out contemplation, preparation, and maintenance, clinicians will start turning Okham's Razor on their own wrists in desperation. We need degrees of change to give us hope. We want morbidity and mortality. Imagine dropping all A1c values except a 7.0 for diabetes. Imagine dropping the quantitative PHQ9 and only keeping the binary PHQ2.
This is especially true with the dreary art of behavior modification. It is often cited that it takes the average person 7 smoking cessation attempts to actually quit the habit for good. Then, you tack on to this the much larger percentage of patients that I see every day who are not ready to attempt smoking cessation. My guess is that, as a result, only about 2-3% of the smokers I see in counseling will actually quit smoking in a given year and that only about 10-15% I see for tobacco specifically will be fully successful. With those difficult odds, if I had a binary approach I would feel quite depressed. If I keep the 5 levels alive then I can at least take comfort in the fact that a smoker moved from precontemplation to contemplation. This allows me to believe that I am the Johnny Appleseed of a tobacco-free world—planting seeds that I won't harvest. Don't kill Johnny.
Change. Prochaska and Diclemente's "Stages of Change" model has brought change to medicine. The model fundamentally change is how clinicians consider their patients. Before 1990 was there a field that hated their clients more than the addictions field? The lingua franca that joined clinicians and clients was all about "drunks, alkies, boozers, winos, and junkies". In using TTM, we remove the focus from pathologizing a person to describing their desire and readiness. I'd much rather be labeled as a "contemplator" (it's so zen!) than a drunk. Who wouldn't prefer to be a "preparer" than a junkie?
And, this is more than mere semantics. This language can saturate a clinical setting and reverse patient hating. It adds a narrative sense to the way clinicians describe their substance using patients. It challenges simple stigma and replaces it with a story of resilience and everyday heroics. It provides an arc with a beginning point (addiction) and an endpoint (harm reduction). It prevents us from viewing patients and the change process in black/white terms. In a circular way, this change instills more hope in both patients and providers and keeps them engaged in the process.
In conclusion, I like Yoda. Compared to other wizened pond frogs, he is incredibly wise. However, one of his axioms seems especially glib: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?" Size does matter. In basketball, bed, and behavior modification a "5" will always be better than a "2".

Best known for pioneering a philosophy of "No Judgments," Crunch has something for just about everyone. Whether you want to bulk up, slim down, or just have a good time, Crunch invites fitness-enthusiasts alike to sweat it out together. The club's massive group fitness studio boasts classes like AntiGravity Yoga, Pole Dancing, and Surfset & Sand, while the spin studio offers Ride classes that seem more like a party than a workout. Crunch Burbank's high ceilings and expansive windows give way to serene views of the Hollywood Hills, while the club's full-service locker rooms, Kids Crunch childcare center, steam room, and sauna make it easy for you to relax while you work out.
And don't be surprised if you find yourself sweating it out alongside an Academy Award-winning actor or major director. Crunch's mission of making serious exercise fun by fusing fitness and entertainment fits in perfectly in the entertainment capital of the world. Both local residents and those squeezing in a workout from one of the nearby film studios in Burbank head to Crunch for a first-rate gym experience.
While Burbank's topnotch amenities and premier fitness offerings show that Crunch has come a long way since the basement level aerobics studio in New York City, where the brand began in 1989, they have not strayed from accomplishing their mission of doing away with traditional notions of what a "serious" workout should be. With 59 locations across the globe, and even more openings in the pipeline this year, it's clear that Crunch will continue to shake up the fitness industry in Burbank and beyond.

U.S. space agency chief Michael Griffin, speaking of space and the global economy, launched a lecture series honoring the space agency's 50th anniversary.
Speaking Monday in Washington, Griffin described the critical role space exploration plays in the global economy.
"NASA opens new frontiers and creates new opportunities and because of that (NASA) is a critical driver of innovation," Griffin said. "We don't just create new jobs, we create entirely new markets and possibilities for economic growth that didn't previously exist.
"This is the emerging space economy, an economy that is transforming our lives here on Earth in ways that are not yet fully understood or appreciated," he said. "It is not an economy in space -- not yet. But space activities create products and markets that provide benefits right here on Earth, benefits that have arisen from our efforts to explore, understand, and utilize this new medium."
He noted that since the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's birth nearly a half-century ago, military and political competition in space has largely faded away, with the focus of space exploration now in the economic arena.
NASA began operations Oct. 1, 1958.
