Mr Bill McDaniel
Dr Obuljen was Our family Dr for twenty five years or so except when my construction jobs placed me in an insurance program that wouldn't allow me to pick my physician. He was an amazing man. He always made me feel that he really cared about my health. He always took the time to make sure I understood my problem at the time. I laugh when I think back how his wife that also worked there would sometime stick her head in the door and say to him "you do know that you have other patients don't you! I moved from California back to Kentucky Ten years ago and I sure miss him. Dr "O" often helped when he could with free sample meds. I have seen more than a few doctors in my seventy seven years and Dr "O" is at the top of my list. Dr "O" if you and your bride Ellie see this I wish you a long and healthy life.

JWoww: I've got two wedding dresses!
Jenni 'JWoww' Farley is planning to wear two dresses at her October wedding to Roger Mathews – one for the ceremony and a "fun, light" one for the reception.
The former Jersey Shore star, whose real name is Jenni Farley, is set to wed Roger Mathews on October 18 in New Jersey.
And to ensure that her big day is as enjoyable as possible, JWoww, 29, is planning to wear a huge princess gown for the ceremony before changing into a more dance-friendly dress later in the day.
"It's going to be like the super-princess-glamour one that I would never be able to walk around in for hours," she told People.
"At the reception I want to do something fun and light. Just have fun in it and be able to dance and move, and get fat in it too!"
Jenni's main gown will be designed by Stephen Yearick, who is putting the final touches to her dress before she sees it in all its glory in July.
And while Jenni will no doubt enjoy the chance to be the beautiful bride at her nuptials, there will also be another little lady who will be courting attention – Jenni and Roger's daughter Meilani.
The tot will be walking down the aisle ahead of her mother, as a little flower girl.
"She'll be about 15 months at that point, so she'll be rocking and rolling," Jenni said. "Her dress will be very similar to mine. Similar fabric, only the basic kind of square-cut baby girl dress with a little bow around it, something super cute."
JWoww also revealed that her wedding is set to be a black tie affair.

House Republican Conference Chairman and Financial Services Committee Vice Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) issued the following statement today condemning President Obama's unprecedented "recess appointment" of Richard Cordray as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
"Today's "recess appointment' of a director to head the CFPB--with the Senate not even in recess--marks a dangerous break from precedent and demonstrates this administration's continued failure to focus on the serious scrutiny and reform this agency deserves.
"President Obama's action today, along with the unchecked leadership of the CFPB, represents an abuse of executive power and an unwillingness of this administration to be held accountable to anyone. The constitutionality of this appointment is dubious at best, and I applaud my Republican colleagues in the Senate who are standing up to oppose it.
"Under Dodd-Frank, this single credit czar will have the power to decide whether the Rodriguez family of Mesquite, Texas, can obtain a mortgage; whether the King family of Athens, Texas, can get a car loan; or whether the Schoen family of Kaufman, Texas, can even get a credit card in order to buy their groceries.
"Senate Republicans were absolutely right to stop this nomination last year, and they are right to demand meaningful changes to this new government bureaucracy so that it is more accountable to the American people."

|By Natsu11
|More from Natsu11
The Hundred Year War had just ended a month ago, when Avatar Aang removed Phoenix King Ozai's Firebending powers. Team Avatar had come to Ba Sing Se two weeks before, rejoicing their win and resting after all they had done.
"Man... I am so tired... Some tea would help to refresh..." Came a voice from the entrance of the Jasmine Dragon, a voice that clearly told that the person who spoke was fatigued. Jasmine Dragon was very useful for such people, as its tea was very refreshing. Iroh, who had gone to brew tea for the Earth King, yet again, had trained his nephew in the "art" of making tea.
The person sat on a table, when he saw the waiter coming to take the order. "I want," he said, "jasmine tea. I really, really like it."
"Sure thing." Came the reply. Realising that he had heard that voice before, the customer almost jumped, and his eyes widened.
"FIRE LORD ZUKO?! OH. MY. GOSH." He almost shouted. His statement caused Zuko to turn around. If someone was in the restaurant at that time, Quan would have surely got all the attention, but thanks to the fact that no one was there except the two.
"My goodness. Geez, I forgot to introduce myself. Quan, I run a shop near. I just wanted to refresh myself after some tough work, when I saw you," he explained.
Before Zuko could open his mouth to reply, a female figure appeared. "Well, got a new friend, Zuko?" It was Mai's voice, who had gone with Katara to the Fancy Lady Day Spa.
"Mai! Did Katara come with you back?"
"Naw, I was too bored. I came quicker."
Quan interrupted the conversation, "Did I hear 'Mai'" Are you..."
"The Fire Lord's girlfriend and Azula's former acquaintance? If that was the question, then, yes," answered Mai, before the enquirer could finish his question. Zuko chuckled, blushing a bit, as he was bringing the tea for Quan.
"Wow! It's a pleasure to meet you!" replied Quan. He was interrupted by Zuko, bringing the tea he had ordered. "Oooh, here comes the tea..."
Suddenly, some candles in a corner of the restaurant sparked thrice, indicating that it was 3 pm.
"Aw, I got'ta go meet Aang. He said he had something to discuss with me at 3 pm. Mai, could you handle the restaurant with some of the things I taught you? And bye," said Zuko, while removing his apron.
"Sure, Zuko, bye" came the reply from Mai. Zuko rushed out, and in 20 seconds, he was gone.
Quan broke the silence. "Well, Mai, if I can call you that, would you like to talk about something...? I am bored... and would like to talk..."
The reply came rapidly, . "Sure... if there is nothing else to do..."
"Well... got any topic?" Said Quan, while sipping his tea. "Meh... we'll just talk, some topic will just come up."
"I guess..." Came the reply.
Just as Mai finished her statement, 3 peasants, probably from the Lower Ring entered the restaurant. They seemed to be weary, and as many people did, they probably wanted some tea to refresh themselves.
"Hey, Mai, well, I am bored, so... I was thinking... why not just play with our customers...?" Asked Quan. Before Mai could reply, he said, "You just go to the workers' area." Quan got up to ask their customers about their orders. "May I ask your orders, please?"
"We three would like jasmine tea," answered one of the three men.
And came the reply. "Sure, sir."
He rushed to the workers' area, and whispered to Mai, "I was thinking, why not give them water with just some other ingredients that make it look like jasmine tea? We could say that it is jasmine tea with some new ingredients."
"Heh, that sounds fun. Or it would be tremendous, mighty boring." Told Mai, almost loud enough for the customers to hear.
"Sssssh, we have to talk in a low voice. Now, you make the so-called tea, and I'll do the rest," smirked Quan.
Mai immediately began brewing the so-called tea, and finished in about 3 minutes.
Quan, seeing this, poured it into three glasses, and went to serve it.
One of the persons, after taking a small sip, exclaimed, "hey! This doesn't taste and look like normal jasmine tea!" Another person nodded in agreement to the person who had complained.
"Actually, this is a new type of jasmine tea, that has some new ingredients that changes the taste and colour. If you compare it with the normal jasmine tea, sir, you will find this version of it quite better in all ways," said Quan, barely able to control his laughter. Even Mai laughed from the workers' area, but was able to control her laughter.
"That's great! Now that I do think about it, this version is so much better!" One of them said.
Mai and Quan watched, as the three customers quickly finished drinking their tea, and left, praising the restaurant. As they left, both the "workers" of the restaurant fell into deep laughter, and both were unable to control it.
"Waaw, I never thought they would fall for the joke! Maaaan!" Said Quan, still laughing a bit.
Mai replied, "I know, right! Seriously!" Surprisingly, Mai seemed excited at this prank.
As they both sat in a table, in the restaurant where only they were present, Quan blurted. "Hey, Mai, would'ja want to have real tea now? Ya know, the tea we were supposed to give to those three 'peeps? We could have all the tea for ourselves," he laughed. Mai chuckled lightly, and went to the workers' area to bring the "real" tea.
"There we go," said Mai, again in her typical bored voice.
Quan sipped and remarked, "This prank was the best of my life!"
Half an hour later, Zuko returned after his discussion with Aang. He saw Quan chatting with Mai. "Looks like you have got a new friend, Mai," said Zuko, chuckling. "What were you both doing?"
"Nothing much," said Quan, causing Zuko and Mai to turn to his direction. "Just cheated some peasants out of a small fortune with Mai at the Jasmine Dragon because I like jasmine tea, half an hour ago."
"What?" Said Zuko, raising his eyebrows.
- Yes, Quan's name and appearance are based on Quon.
- The line, "We will just talk, some topic might just come up," is a line Natsu11 often tells.
- Natsu11 intended to make this comedic, but, as you can see, he failed to do so.
- When Natsu11 started writing, he thought that it will be longer. However, as he continued writing, he realised that it would turn out to be shorter than he had imagined.
- Natsu11 enjoyed writing Mai's character.
- As this is Natsu11's first published fanon chapter, he is not very sure if he will get positive responses.
- Natsu11 is very thankful to Toph's Fanboy for giving him criticism, which helped the writer to improve this chapter.

Its amazing when strangers become friends,
but its sad when friends become strangers.
I never want to lose u as a friend!
I met u as a stranger.
Now i have u as a friend.
I hope we meet in our next walk of life where friendship never ends.
Someone taught you how to love,
and probably didn't know it,
and in return, with every day,
it's now you're turn to show it.
When you love, you give a gift,
and when you're gone it stays,
to be passed on by the ones you loved,
to make someone else's day.
So remember someone who loved you,
and show how much you care,
by sharing all the love they gave,
with people everywhere.
When you give away your love,
that doesn't mean it's gone.
Love will last forever,
so open up your heart
to my friend for life!

Orders will not be dispatched until your age has been verified. Please scan and email a digital copy of your identification to email@example.com. Accepted forms of ID are Photo ID drivers licence, Passport or Birth Certificate
Gerber knows being prepared isn't a state of being so much as a philosophy. Which is why having the right tool on hand is about little things that make the difference. Sometimes the job's as simple as cutting twine or slicing open a box, but try those things without a blade enough times and you'll appreciate the compact efficiency of the GDC Zip Blade.
Part of Gerber's Daily Carry collection, this Zip Blade is the bulldog of utility knives. Squat enough to fit in the palm of your hand, it has enough muscle to strip wire, cut cardboard, and slice through toughest of clamshell packaging.
Eveready Blade
The quick-release clip lets you remove this tool with one hand, leaving your other one free to steady a load or keep things aligned. When open, a frame lock keeps the compact .68-inch fine edge blade secure, so there's no wobble when you're powering through a cut. A built-in fob lets you attach it to the zipper of your jacket or bag, so it's close at hand when you need it.

Low-Fat Granola
Recipe by Neberanzan
My mom makes this to put over low-fat vanilla yogurt and fruit. Very tasty!
Top Review by WaterandTrees
Living in northern Michigan, up here it's all about the cherries. The modifications I made to this wonderful recipe do alter it, and to my way of thinking - improve on it. I cut down the sugar by half, added flaked coconut, dried cherries and cut back on the vanilla, adding a couple of drops of Almond extract. Almonds were also used instead of Walnuts. Finally since I never use spray on anything (it gums up my pans), I lined my cookiesheet with parchment paper and put the granola on that. When it's done and cooled, you simply lift the parchment and pour into a container.

Lost and Found is the double-length pilot episode of Star Trek: Abandoned.
Part IEdit
Twenty five thousand years ago, a lone craft returns to its homeworld, pursued by a relentless enemy. The craft's pilot, Major Enriss Temaga, lands to discover that the city - the whole planet, in fact - is deserted.
In the present, a Federation science team deep in the Beta Quadrant is excavating ancient ruins, attempting to find some clue as to the location of the "Motherworld" as described in local myth and legend. After saving his life from a pair of indigenous creatures, Lieutenant Will Gates forms an unsteady friendship with Doctor Nathan Carson, the lead archaeologist. The officer solves the riddle of an ancient stone tablet - five circles of increasing size meeting at a single tangent - by compensating for stellar drift and then matching local stars against the map depicted. The Motherworld, presumed to be at the common edge of the circles, is many weeks away, but not out of reach. Captain Enriss Temaga of the USS Beltane transports the teams back aboard and sets a course.
Temaga, Gates, Carson and Ensign Hanar D'Jan discuss their findings in the briefing room. After a brief confrontation with the lieutenant, Carson explains their discovery, and D'Jan informs them of impact craters, thousands of them, beneath the planet's surface. She has dated the magnetic resonance signatures in the soil; the age of the craters ranges from five thousand years - the last time the planet was inhabited - and twenty five thousand years old. Carson and Temaga wonder what the people could have done that was so terrible that they were not only defeated, but totally destroyed.
"Captain's Personal Log, Stardate 62193.2. We have been travelling at warp eight for almost forty days, but for myself the time has passed in a second. I have awaited this day for so long... but now, I must confess that returning to this world is a little daunting, even to me."
The Beltane drops out of warp on the edge of a large solar system. Three M-class planets and fourteen gas giants and smaller planetoids are detected. Temaga orders the ship to approach the planet with the heaviest signs of technological development, around which they find a system of rings that appears to be half-natural, half-artificial.
Many ruined cities are seen from orbit, but the largest, amazingly, is intact. Temaga, Gates, Carson and a security team beam down. The captain is silent as her mind is filled with a single thought: "Home".
More teams beam down and begin attempting to reactivate the ancient systems, among them Professor T'Sora and Crewman Kira Rhiohr, who are attempting to interface Federation microfusion generators with the power grid, without success. Carson and Temaga begin dismantling the main computer interface to map out the command conduits.
In orbit, first officer Cad'en is troubled - sensors have detected a faint EM reading within the rings and seeks the captain's permission to investigate. On the way, the bridge crew determine the rings are made up of debris both from a moon and hundreds of artificial satellites. Shortly after tractoring in several samples, the EM reading suddenly comes to life and begins firing on the Beltane.
After a chase across the area during which she is severely damaged, Beltane is able to avoid the aggressor long enough to beam up Gates and Temaga. The captain orders a course to skim the sun - when Cad'en objects, she threatens him with relief of duty - but before it can be executed the small ship locks on with a tractor beam and begins dragging it backwards.
Watching the battle from the control room, Carson and Kira notice a subspace anomaly forming behind the ships. Without warning, the systems of the city reactivate and launches some kind of weapon to the unknown ship, destroying it. However, the Beltane is already caught in the gravity well and is pulled in.
Temaga, Cad'en, who has been badly wounded, and Gates awaken in a cell, and several Borg drones enter.
Part IIEdit
The drones - who speak and appear to act independently - escort the prisoners to another, larger chamber. On the way they catch a glimpse of their surroundings; they are inside a massive, hollow Borg ship, filled with dozens of Cubes and thousands of the fighter craft.
In the city, the civilians determine the anomaly was a transwarp conduit, though because the ship generating it was destroyed before completion, it was highly unstable. Kira suggests "calling" the aperture back by bombarding local space with verteron particles. Carson agrees and T'Sora suggests using a small ship found in the city, deemed to be far superior to the shuttles they have available. The attempt is successful and the aperture reappears. The arrowhead emerges from a stable conduit contained within a gate-like structure on the other side, hundreds of light years away.
Temaga, Cad'en and Gates are taken before the Borg Queen, who identifies Temaga as a member of the otherwise extinct race that built the city and its empire.
The Queen casually interrogates the prisoners, but they reveal nothing. She tells them she knows exactly where they have come from, and delights in the fact that she will be the one to finally defeat the "Dead Ones". Eventually she gets bored, and attempts to assimilate the captain. Cad'en tries to stop her, and is killed. Temaga is taken for cybernetic enhancement and Gates is returned to the cell.
The fighter approaches the ship, known as a Hive in the ship's database, and finds the Beltane inside. Carson decides to bring the fighter into the hangar bay. After taking control of the ship, several explosive devices are beamed to various points within the Hive.
Gates - the only non-Borg lifesign - is beamed out, and argues they should try and find Temaga, but Carson, as the ranking member of the expedition, overrules him. Gates, Kira and T'Sora board the ancient ship again and evacuate, but Carson stays behind, with the intent of activating the self-destruct. The explosives are detonated, causing internal damage, but the now assimilated Temaga and a group of drones beam aboard to stop him.
Temaga's true nature wins out, and she kills the other drones. She tells Carson to leave; she will control the ship. The doctor beams out, and the Beltane fires phasers and torpedoes into the Hive's internal structure. Temaga sets a collision course, and the resulting chain reaction destroys the entire ship. In the alien craft, the team heads back through the conduit, collapsing it on the way.
As the expedition settles in and starts to call the city "home", Doctor Carson admits to Lieutenant Gates that he is not ready for leadership; they agree to share responsibility. Gates says there is a chance Temaga got out alive, but that there will no doubt be more Hives on their way right now. Sensing his true preoccupation, Gates tells him that they will find Temaga, one day...
Memorable QuotesEdit
- "Nathan, sit down. Please," she smiled diplomatically, but the two ridged crests on her forehead leading down to her eyes flushed red, promising vengeance if he left the room before he had her approval. She directed her gaze to the lieutenant, who was still smirking opposite. "Lieutenant, you are not to say another word for as long as you remain in this room, do you understand me?" Will opened his mouth to reply, "Yes, ma'am!", but thought better of it as his captain raised her eyebrows, as if daring him to do so, and simply nodded his understanding.
- "T'Sora! How long are you going to be in there?" Nathan called impatiently. "I am coming," a muffled voice replied, and she stepped out. Nathan could not help but laugh, for she was laden with every single weapon he had packed, minus the ones he and Rhiohr had taken. Three heavy-duty phaser rifles, one in each hand and the third under her arm; two hand phasers were stuck in her belt and two more strings of fifteen photon grenades and an isomagnetic disintegrator were slung over her shoulder. She raised an eyebrow condescendingly as Rhiohr started to laugh too, as if to say "So what?".
- "It's nothing," Nathan said, straightening and kneading his shoulder. "It's just..." he turned to face Will directly, "I don't think I'm ready for this. Leadership, I mean. I know I'm the ranking member of the expedition and all now, but... I don't think I can cope with that kind of responsibility. Not yet, anyway." Will smiled. "I haven't exactly received command training either. But maybe it's something we can grow into... together?" he extended his hand, which Nathan took after a moment. "Together," he agreed, and smiled back.

Background informationEdit
This episode draws on several sources from previous Star Trek lore, most notably the method of the USS Yamato discovery of the Iconian homeworld in TNG: "Contagion", and the USS Voyager attempts to attract the Barzan wormhole in VOY: "False Profits".
As is common with pilot episodes, several things established in this episode are subject to change over the course of the series:
- At the end of part I, the drones are launched from an unspecified location in the central building. In later episodes, the drones have their own launch tower elsewhere in the city.
- The Borg fighter depicted is incredibly powerful - perhaps unrealistically so, being able to cause critical damage to the Beltane in mere minutes. Fighters in later episodes are given somewhat reduced abilities.
- The episode was originally set in 2391. This was later retconned to 2385, based on dialogue from the episode "Solitude". The addition of a captain's log in the extended version confirmed this.
- In the original version, the Motherworld was only fifteen days away from the outpost at warp eight, yet subspace communication with Starfleet was seven weeks out of real time. In later episodes, the time is reduced to three weeks, and in the edited version the distance was increased to forty days at "high warp", implying the top speed of the Nova-class has been boosted.
In the initial draft, "Hive ship" was merely a term used by the Inc'Radi to describe standard Borg Cubes. This was modified with the advent of the "true" Hive ship in the second part. Likewise, the Borg were not originally intended to be the principle enemy of the series.
Captain Temaga was initially only supposed to appear in the prologue, to give the abandonment of the planet a more "personal" quality. A mistake on the part of the author saw her inclusion in the rest of the episode and subsequently the rest of the series, inspiring several key story arcs throughout the second, fourth and fifth seasons.

1. Life before CERN ↑
Before construction began on the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in 1954[1a], the atom was known to be composed of electrons (an elementary particle, and a type of lepton) and a nucleus containing neutrons and protons (which are hadrons, particles now known to be made of smaller particles called quarks and gluons), and all of these particles were thought to have an antimatter partner.
Fusion and fission reactions had taken place, and new particles such as muons (another elementary particle, and type of lepton) and pions and kaons (which are also hadrons) had been discovered in cosmic rays, using particle detectors like cloud chambers and bubble chambers. 'Cosmic ray' is a general term for different types of high-energy particles that originate from space, including photons, which are 'particles' of light.
1.1 The cloud chamber and bubble chamber ↑
British physicist Charles Thomson Rees Wilson invented the cloud chamber in 1911[2]. He received the 1927 Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention and help in its development.
A cloud chamber is composed of a jar of gaseous alcohol that's cooled at the bottom with dry ice. When a highly energetic charged particle moves through this gas, it removes electrons from the atoms it passes, leaving them positively charged. The neutral atoms in the gas then condense around them, and along the path of the charged particle.
If a magnetic field is placed across the chamber, then it will deflect the path of charged particles. Austrian physicists Marietta Blau and Hertha Wambacher showed how the energy and charge of the particle can be determined from the shape of the track, which could be photographed[3].
The cloud chamber was made somewhat obsolete in 1952, when American physicist Donald Glaser invented the bubble chamber[4], for which he was awarded the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Bubble chambers work in the same way as cloud chambers, but here energetic charged particles travel through a superheated liquid - a liquid heated by changing pressure - such as liquid hydrogen, instead of a cold gas, and the liquid begins to boil around the ionised atoms that form along the path of the charged particle.

In order to for a particle to be detected, it must be energetic enough. Cosmic rays are extremely energetic before they enter the atmosphere - reaching energies of up to 100 billion, billion electron volts (1020 eV), which is 16 Joules - but they cannot travel through the atmosphere[5]. This means that they could only enter chambers that were taken to the top of mountains, or above the atmosphere in balloons, and they could not be controlled.
At sea-level, the particles emitted by radioactive material produce tracks, but these only reach energies of up to about 150 million eV (150 MeV) or 40 billionths of a Joule (2.4 × 10-11 J)[6]. Physicists wanted to fire particles at the nuclei of atoms in order to see what they are made of, and what keeps them together, as well as to see short-lived particles that could only be created in high-energy collisions. If this were to happen, then energies of more than 150 MeV would have to be reached. Kinetic energy is proportional to velocity, and so a higher energy is reached at higher speeds.
More systematic and precise experiments could only be conducted if it were possible to produce particles with higher energies on demand, at sea level, and this was achieved with the invention of particle accelerators.
1.2 Linear accelerators ↑
A battery is the simplest particle accelerator. This works because the small voltage between its terminals (produced from having a negative end and a positive end) produces a proportional electric field. A charged particle, an electron in this case, is accelerated in this field, and can then travel down a wire.
This is where the unit of the electron volt comes from; it is the unit of energy gained by one electron, accelerated by a voltage of 1 volt. This is a useful unit to use when the number would be extremely small if measured in Joules.
Norwegian physicist Rolf Widerøe built the first linear particle accelerator in 1928[7]. This increases the velocity of charged particles by subjecting them to a series of alternating voltages. Like in a single battery, the particle is accelerated across the gap between differing voltages, but here they then meet another gap and travel across this. More and more gaps can be added, making the particle travel faster and faster. The longer the accelerator, the faster the particle can travel. Particles were fired at a fixed target and the aftermath could be recorded in cloud or bubble chambers.
1.3 Cyclotrons and betatrons ↑
American physicist Ernest Lawrence and his graduate student Milton Stanley Livingston invented another type of particle accelerator, the cyclotron, in 1932[8]. A cyclotron places charged particles in an alternating electric field, which causes them to accelerate between 'D' shaped electrodes, known as 'dees'. A uniform magnetic field is then placed perpendicular to this.
The magnetic field causes the charged particles to move in a spiral. This is because the magnetic field produces a force that's always perpendicular to the particle's velocity, causing it to continually change direction, which makes it move in a circle. The radius of the circle increases as the particles get faster, due to the electric field, creating a spiral.
Higher velocities are reached the higher the magnetic field and the larger the radius of the cyclotron. Lawrence and Livingston's first cyclotron was about 30 cm in diameter with a field of about half a Tesla. It accelerated protons to just over 1 MeV.
Cyclotrons only work up to about 20 MeV because they don't consider relativistic effects. These cause particles to become more difficult to accelerate as they approach the speed of light. This is more of a problem the lower the rest mass of the particle. Electrons have a particularly small rest mass, and so cannot be accelerated by cyclotrons.
These problems were resolved with the invention of the betatron, by American physicist Donald Kerst in 1940[9]. The betatron is like the cyclotron, but accelerates electrons with a varying magnetic field. The field is stronger at larger radii, and so the electrons are accelerated with a stronger force the closer they get to the speed of light. As with the cyclotron, increased speeds can be achieved with larger magnetic fields and larger radii.

1.4 Synchrocyclotrons and synchrotrons ↑
American physicist Edwin McMillan developed another type of improved cyclotron, the synchrocyclotron, in 1945[10]. The synchrocyclotron is the same as a cyclotron but only has one dee, and compensates for relativistic effects by changing the frequency of the electric field, instead of keeping it constant.
The synchrocyclotron was soon surpassed by the synchrotron, which was theorised by Russian physicist Vladimir Veksler[11], and first constructed by McMillan that year[12].
In a synchrotron, particles are accelerated by cavities, which provide an alternating electric field. The particles move in a circle because of a magnetic field that increases in strength as the particle gets faster. The magnets are placed in the path of the accelerated particles, rather than across the whole device, and so synchrotrons can be built with larger radii.
When charged particles are forced to travel in a circle by a magnetic field, they emit photons with an energy that's related to the strength of the field and the speed of the particle. The photons emitted by synchrotrons can be used in medicine[13].
Synchrotron radiation can cause problems for accelerators, however, because charged particles loose energy when they emit photons. The energy they lose is equal to the energy of the photon. The power lost is inversely proportional to the radius of the circle they move in, and so synchrotron accelerators are generally more effective the larger they are.
2. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research ↑
CERN was first envisioned by French engineer Raoul Dautry, French physicists Pierre Auger and Lew Kowarski, Italian physicist Edoardo Amaldi, and Danish physicist Niels Bohr, in 1949[14a].
They wished to create a laboratory to study atomic physics with particle accelerators that would be so large, and expensive, that they could not be built by a single county alone. The first official proposal was put forward by French physicist Louis de Broglie in December of that year[14b].
In June of 1950, American physicist Isidor Rabi asked UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) for assistance in the creation of the laboratory, in order to encourage the collaboration of scientists from across Europe[14c]. Rabi was born in Galicia, which is situated on the border between Poland and Ukraine, and had won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the magnetic moment and nuclear spin of atoms.
By December of the following year, members of UNESCO adopted the first resolution to establish a European Council for Nuclear Research (or Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucleaire in French, which is where the acronym CERN came from)[14d].
This council came into effect in February 1952, and 11 counties agreed to participate. These were: Belgium, Denmark, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia. Geneva was selected as a site for the laboratory, and the United Kingdom joined the council the following year[15]. Construction began in May 1954, and by September of that year, the Council officially became an Organisation[1b].
CERN's first accelerator - the Synchrocyclotron (SC) - was turned on in 1957 and remained in operation for 33 years[14e].
2.1 The highest energy accelerator in the world ↑
A second accelerator, the Proton Synchrotron (PS), was turned on in 1959, and is still in operation, feeding particles to newer, higher powered accelerators. Reaching energies as high as 28 billion electron Volts (28 GeV), the PS became the highest energy accelerator in the world, beating the SCs 600 MeV, and Russia's synchrotron, the Synchrophasotron, which had reached 10 GeV[14f]. The following year, the PS's record was surpassed by the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, which reached energies of 33 GeV[16].
2.2 The discovery of antimatter nuclei ↑
In 1965, antimatter nuclei were simultaneously created from anti-neutrons and anti-protons, in experiments using the PS at CERN and the AGS in New York[17][14g]. Antimatter had first been proposed in the 1920s[18], and the first antimatter particle, the antielectron (known as the positron), was discovered in the 1930s[19]. The antiproton[20] and antineutron[21] were discovered in the 1950s. Physicists at CERN would go on to create entire atoms out of antimatter[22a].
2.3 The first computerised detections ↑
In 1968, French physicist Georges Charpak developed the multi-wire proportional chamber, known as the wire chamber, while working at CERN[14h]. This soon replaced bubble chambers because it could detect particles more quickly, and could be linked to a computer so that data did not need to be physically examined in the same way that photographs from bubble chambers were. Charpak was awarded the 1992 Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention.
Charpak's invention involved using a proportional counter. Proportional counters were invented by British physicist Samuel Curran in 1948[23], and combine a Geiger Müller tube - the sensor used in Geiger counters, which were developed in the 1920s[24] - with an ionisation chamber - which measures the charge of ions created by high-energy charged particles. These were developed in the 1800s[25].

In proportional counters, high-energy charged particles travel through a gas. This strips electrons from the gases' atoms, leaving free electrons and positive ions. The free electrons are attracted to the positively charged electrode, the anode, and the positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electrode, the cathode. The movement of these particles creates an avalanche effect, where they ionise other particles until there are enough to create a measureable electric field. Each charged particle creates a new field, and its position can be determined from the time taken for the negative and positive particles to reach their corresponding electrodes.
Charpak's multi-wire proportional chamber was composed of many thin wires placed next to each other. He showed that each wire behaves as a proportional counter. This means that the wire chamber can detect hundreds of particles a second, which led to more accurate measurements of the particle's position.
2.4 The first hadron collider ↑
By the 1950s, physicists had realised that they would be able to create higher energy collisions if they fired two moving targets at each other, instead of firing accelerated particles at a fixed target.
The first collider accelerator, ADA (Anello Di Accumulazione), was developed by Austrian physicist Bruno Touschek for the National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Italy, and was turned on in 1961[26]. This collided electrons and positrons (both of which are leptons, not hadrons). Positrons have the same energy as electrons but they are positively charged. This means that they travel in the opposite direction to elections when placed in a particle accelerator, and so electrons and positrons can be placed in the same tube.
The beams of particles must be lined up very precisely in order for them to collide. This is easier to do in lepton collisions, since leptons are elementary particles. Collisions between hadrons are less precise because they are made of quarks, and the total energy is shared between them, with some having more energy than others. Hadron collisions may be more difficult, but hadrons can collide at a wide range of energies, and so are more useful than leptons when physicists are trying to create new particles.
Physicists at CERN suggested that protons (which are hadrons) could be made to collide by using the PS to feed two rings - known as the Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) - where beams of protons could be fired in different directions. This project was approved in 1965, construction on the ISR began the following year, and it became operational in January of 1971, becoming the first hadron collider in the world[14i].

The following month, the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) - a synchrotron collider - was commissioned. This was to be CERN's largest accelerator yet, built about 40 metres below the ground with a circumference of 7 km. The SPS crossed the border into France becoming the first accelerator to cross an international border. It became operational in 1976, operating at energies of hundreds of GeV[14j].
2.5 The discovery of neutral currents ↑
All of the detectors discussed so far, detect charged particles, and so they cannot be used to detect neutral particles, like neutrons or neutrinos. Neutrinos are elementary particles, and a type of lepton, they were first theorised in the 1930s[27] and detected in the 1950s[28].
Electroweak theory, which was developed in the 1960s, showed that electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force are two manifestations of a single force, the electroweak force[29][30]. It was predicted that the weak nuclear force is carried by particles known as the negatively and positively charged W bosons, and the Z boson, which has a neutral charge. Weak interactions involving the exchange of Z bosons were thought to create a neutral current, and this could occur if neutrinos interacted with electrons.
Physicists at CERN created a bubble chamber that could detect neutral particles, known as Gargamelle, which was operational from 1970 until 1979. It was attached to the PS until 1976 when it was moved to the SPS[31].
Gargamelle worked by measuring the effects of charged particles that were affected by collisions with neutrinos. It used heavy-liquid freon instead of liquid hydrogen, which is lighter, in order to increase the number of collisions.
Gargamelle first showed evidence of neutral currents via the detection of neutrinos in 1973[32]. The discovery of W and Z bosons was not possible, however, until they could be produced in more powerful collisions.
2.6 The discovery of the W and Z bosons ↑
The SPS was converted into a proton-antiproton collider in 1979[33]. The first proton-antiproton collisions occurred in 1981, and W and Z bosons were discovered in these collisions in 1983[34]. Italian physicist Carlo Rubbia and Dutch physicist Simon van der Meer were awarded the 1984 Nobel Prize in Physics for their role in this discovery.
Now that W and Z bosons had been discovered using a hadron collider, more precise collisions using a lepton collider were needed in order to determine their mass. The Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP) was first proposed in order to measure the mass of the Z boson produced in collisions between electrons and positrons[35a].
The LEP would be the largest lepton collider in the world, located about 100 metres below the ground, with a circumference of 27 km. It had been approved in 1981, and became operational in 1989, at energies of about 100 GeV. Millions of Z bosons were produced, and it was shown that they produced only three generations of particles of matter[36]. W bosons required more energy, and these were not produced until the 1990s when the LEP was improved, with more cavities added so that the collisions doubled in energy[35b].
2.7 The development of the World Wide Web ↑
By the end of 1990, British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee had developed URL, http, html, and the first browser and server software, while working at CERN. The world's first website and server - info.cern.ch - went live in December that year[37].
Before this, the internet - which was developed in the late 1960s and introduced to the public in 1969 - was mainly used by scientists to send information to each other in plane text. It was not possible to send the vast amounts of complex data that scientists at CERN dealt with[38].
The World Wide Web is a part of the internet. Image credit: Helen Klus/Public domain.
The world's first web page - http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html - gave information on how others could create their own websites and search the web for information. In 1993, CERN made the World Wide Web free for anyone who wanted to use it[39].
2.8 Creation of the first antimatter atoms ↑
The Low Energy Anti-Proton Ring (LEAR) was constructed at CERN in 1982 in order to store antimatter, which would be used to create antihydrogen atoms in the PS[40a]. Nine atoms of antihydrogen were created in collisions between antiprotons and xenon atoms in 1995[22b].
LEAR was shut down in 1996 and replaced with the lower energy Antiproton Decelerator (AD), which was approved in 1997 and became operational in 2000[40b]. In 2011, the ALPHA experiment used the AD to trap 300 antihydrogen atoms and study them in detail for over 16 minutes[41].
2.9 The discovery of direct CP violation ↑
Matter and antimatter annihilates on contact, and the universe we observe is almost entirely made of matter. This implies that more matter than antimatter was created in the big bang, and is an example of CP symmetry being broken[42]. CP symmetry states that the laws of physics should be the same if all the matter particles in the universe were swapped with their antimatter partners and vice versa.
In 1964, it was shown that interactions involving the weak nuclear force break CP symmetry[43]. This was shown in experiments involving neutral kaon particles. Kaons spontaneously transform into antikaons, and back again, and each can be thought of as being composed of two particles, known as K1 and K2.
K1 is short lived, and soon decays into two particles called pions. K2 lasts longer, and eventually decays into three pions.
Indirect CP violation occurs when a K2 particle spontaneously changes into a K1 particle, and decays into two pions instead of three. This means that the total number of pions, from the K1 and K2 particles that make up each kaon or antikaon, is four instead of five.
Direct CP violation occurs when the K2 particle produces only two pions without first decaying into a K1 particle. Evidence for this was found by CERN in 1988[44], but this result was not verified until 1999, when evidence came from CERN's SPS[45] and the KTeV experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab)[46], which was founded in Illinois in 1967.
2.10 The creation of quark-gluon plasma ↑
Quark-gluon plasma is a state of matter that's thought to have occurred in the very early universe, when quarks and gluons existed as single particles rather than within atoms, as they do now. This state can be recreated by increasing the temperature or density of hadrons.
Physicists at CERN first tried to create this plasma in 1986 by colliding heavy nuclei - nuclei containing many neutrons and protons - in the SPS. They hoped that this would make the quarks and gluons, which make up protons and neutrons, separate. Oxygen and sulfur nuclei were used first, heavier lead nuclei were used in experiments first conducted in 1994, and by 2000, they were able to prove that they had created a quark-gluon plasma[47][48].
3. The Large Hadron Collider and the Higgs boson ↑
Even before the LEP became operational in 1989, physicists considered how they could create higher energy collisions if it were converted into a hadron collider. Experiments that could be conducted in such a machine were first considered in 1984, although the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was not approved until 1994[49a].
The LHC was initially planned to be developed in two stages, but donations from non-European counties such as Japan, India, Russia, the United States, and Canada meant that it was completed in one stage, becoming operational in 2009.
The PS and SPS are used to accelerate particles before they are injected into the LHC. The first attempt to circulate a beam of protons was conducted in 2008, but it failed due to a faulty magnet connection, which took a year to repair[49b].
In November 2009, two beams successfully circulated the LHC, and by March of 2010, physicists were able to make two beams collide with an energy of 7 trillion eV (7 TeV), beating Fermilab's Tevatron, which reached about 2 trillion eV (2 TeV). This made the LHC the highest energy accelerator in the world. The LHC produced so much data that it took years to analyse[49c].
The LHC was designed to run a number of experiments, all with their own detectors. These detectors are much more complicated than bubble or wire chambers, and are much larger, the largest, ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus), is the size of a seven-story building[50a].
Detectors are placed around points where particles can be made to collide, and each detects the effects of the collision in different ways, applicable to different experiments. The largest four detectors are: ATLAS, the CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid), ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), and the LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty).

3.1 The ATLAS and CMS detectors ↑
ATLAS and the CMS are both general purpose detectors designed with the same scientific goals: to search for extra dimensions, dark matter, and particles known as Higgs bosons. They both do this in different ways, and can be run simultaneously, since only a small percentage of particles in a particle beam interact with each detector. This means that a detection in one can be confirmed by the other[50b][51].
ATLAS and the CMS both have the same four basic parts. A tracker is placed around the edge of the tunnel containing the beam. It uses a magnetic field to deflect all the charged particles that pass through it, and measures their direction and momentum. This is surrounded by an electromagnetic calorimeter, which stops photons and electrons and measures their energy, a hadron calorimeter, which does the same thing for hadrons, and finally a muon detector, which detects the direction and momentum of muons (which are elementary particles, and leptons).
The differences between ATLAS and the CMS come from the fact that there are two ways to detect muons. The first is to use the same magnet as the tracker, and the second is to place another magnet beyond the calorimeters. The CMS does the former and ATLAS does the latter. In 2012, it was shown that the Higgs boson had been created in the LHC, and detected by both CMS and ATLAS[52][53].
3.2 The ALICE detector ↑
The ALICE experiment was designed to study the quark-gluon plasma, which existed in the early universe, and had been recreated in the SPS in the 1990s. Unlike ATLAS and the CMS, which measure the effects of collisions between protons, ALICE was designed to study the collisions of iron nuclei. It has a tracking system and muon detectors but, unlike ATLAS and the CMS, its main detector is a time projection chamber. This is a particle detector similar to a wire chamber[54].
3.3 The LHCb detector ↑
The LHCb detector was designed to detect antimatter, particularly the antibeauty quark (which is another name for the antibottom quark), so that physicists can study CP violation. Instead of surrounding the entire collision point, it uses a series of sub-detectors to detect particles thrown forwards in the collision[55].
3.4 Other experiments ↑
The three other experiments at the LHC are the MoEDAL (Monopole and Exotics Detector At the LHC) experiment, the TOTEM (TOTal Elastic and diffractive cross section Measurement) experiment, and the LHCf (Large Hadron Collider forward) experiment. MoEDAL was designed to detect magnetic monopoles[56]. TOTEM was designed to measure the size of protons with unprecedented precision[57], and the LHCf was designed to measure the energy of neutral pions and explain the origin of the highest energy cosmic rays[58].
4. The future of CERN ↑
CERN currently has 20 member states, though Israel, the Republic of Serbia, and Romania are in the process of becoming members, and co-operation agreements, scientific contacts, and observers exist from 59 counties around the world[59].
In February 2013, the LHC was shut down so that it could be upgraded, and it's expected to become operational again in 2015, when it should be able to achieve energies of 14 TeV[60]. This will allow physicists to explore states of matter that haven't existed since just after the big bang, to test theories of quantum gravity, and, hopefully, to detect particles even more elusive than the Higgs boson, such as those responsible for dark matter.
Possibilities for future accelerators include the Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC), which could have a circumference of over 200 km, and reach energies of about 30 TeV, although this is not being seriously considered at the moment[61].
Another possibility is an accelerator designed to collide muons and antimuons. Muons are about 200 times as massive as electrons but they are unstable, and soon decay into electrons and neutrinos, so there are still many technical difficulties with this at the moment[62a].
A more likely option is building a more powerful linear accelerator. CERN is currently considering a proposal for a Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) to accelerate electrons and positrons to energies of up to 3 TeV, which would make it the highest energy lepton collider in the world[62b].
5. Visiting CERN ↑
Tourists are welcome at CERN. People who just turn up at its visitor centre in Meyrin can experience the Microcosm, a museum showing both the history of CERN, and how everything works, and the Globe. The Globe houses a number of historic items, including the computer that the first website and server were run on, and shows a short film Universe of Particles twice an hour.
If you book in advance, you can also go on a guided tour where you get to watch a film about the history of CERN and then visit the control room of ATLAS, a detector on the LHC where the discovery of the Higgs Boson was announced.
Unfortunately, visitors are not able to go underground at the moment, and can instead watch a short 3D film showing the Collider being built, and in use. All of these things are free to the general public.
UPDATE: On 3rd June 2015, the LHC was switched back on. It can now reach energies of up to 13 TeV. In July 2015, data from the LHC led to the discovery of a new class of particles, known as pentaquarks.

Hazel Blears's height, the Zimmers and Tinky Winky's sexual orientation Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Dear Marina, I was watching the deputy hustings on Newsnight the other day and thought that Cruddas was gorgeous. But why was Hazel Blears sitting on a chair all the way through. Do you know why? Confused of the North East At 4ft 10 inches Ms Blears punches well above her height in the Labour party. But she obviously lacks influence at the BBC where the Newsnight director could easily have arranged for candidates to be seated, thus allowing the cameras to track smoothly along the line up without skimming across the top of her head and on to the next candidate. Or they could have given her a soap box to stand on. There's not enough of that sort of business in politics these days. I call upon the chair of the Labour Party to carry her own in future. I may not agree with all she says (suggesting criminals be dressed orange boiler suits for community work – I ask you) but she's a feisty female and I have to respect her ilk. As for you, confused of North East, I suspect you are slightly sexist and really, quite rude. Dear Marina, Pop music has sunk to a new low. I thought we'd seen it all with Mr Blobby but now fame - hungry pop artists are dressing up as pensioners just to get in the top ten. What next, people in terrorist bomb belts singing Auld Lang Syne? Angry of Peckham Don't be crass. The Zimmers, a band with a collective age of over 3000, has released a cover version of The Who's My Generation to raise awareness of the plight of the elderly and cash for Age Concern. The elderly are a much maligned and extremely lonely demographic mainly due to them living too long to be much use, not being able to resist voting Tory and hating young people. But Age Concern does much good, for example electric blanket checking and podiatry sessions. So go out and buy the record. These people were active in the war, for which we must be grateful. And how have they been repaid? Their pensions don't keep up with fuel price and council tax rises, they pass on still waiting for hearing aids, cataracts and hip operations on the NHS and get rewarded for their voting habits by continued council tax rises and cuts to essential adult social services. Either they'll learn, or die trying. Dear Marina, I am a bloke who likes to wear a purple babygrow with a coat hanger sticking out of my head, so imagine my shock when Ewa Sowinska who is influential in the Polish government took issue with my handbag saying it made me seem like a poofter. Has the world gone mad? Tinky Winky I think what Ewa Sowinska actually said is you and your purse could possibly promote homosexuality. Interesting, given the majority of those watching are babies – could their sexuality really be influenced by an actor in a purple jump suit carrying the kind of handbag made iconic by Maggie T? I have only two concerns: firstly Teletubbies encourages students to smoke too much dope. Secondly, the programme inculcates TV viewing habits which is soooooo bad for young tots, stifling communication skills and setting them up for a life on the sofa watching crap. Swing your handbag with pride, Tinky Winky. If Teletubbies gets banned in Poland we'll have more communicative plumbers and bar staff and the skunk will go further in a drought. › East London meets Findhorn Marina Pepper is a former glamour model turned journalist, author, eco-campaigner and Lib Dem politician.

The Day Whitesnake Played Their First Concert
On March 3, 1978, former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale and his new group Whitesnake performed their first concert at Lincoln Polytech.
On March 3, 1978, former Deep Purple singer David Coverdale and his new group Whitesnake performed their first concert at Lincoln Polytech.
David Coverdale is revisiting his time with Deep Purple on the upcoming Whitesnake release, The Purple Album, which is due in stores May 19...
Whitesnake have unveiled their version of "Burn," which originally served as the title track for a long-ago collaboration between frontman David Coverdale and Deep Purple.
David Coverdale will return to his time as lead singer for Deep Purple during their Mark III and IV eras for an upcoming album with Whitesnake.
When 'Slip of the Tongue' arrived in stores on Nov. 18, 1989, Whitesnake's career had never been so healthy, thanks to recent platinum sales, smash hits and sold-out tours.
The veteran guitarist has left Whitesnake after 11 years.
Despite its far-from-stellar sales, Whitesnake's sixth album, 'Slide It In,' which came out in late January 1984, is unquestionably the most pivotal record of the group's long and storied career. It exists in two significantly different versions, due to a curious sequence of events that wound up drawing a clear line in the sand that, to this day, segregates the British band's career into two, distinct periods: before and after its U.S. conquest, bluesy heavy rock instead of hair-metal and brunette vs. peroxide.
A man claiming to be a drummer for Whitesnake was involved in a couple of incidents in Gloucester, Mass., last week. The man, whose name was not disclosed, was sent to a local hospital for evaluation.
Whitesnake has packaged hits and outtakes, along with rare acoustic versions of popular songs on 'Made in Japan,' a live CD/DVD to be made available on April 23. The band announced that the Oct. 11, 2011 show from the Loud Park festival at the Saitama Super Arena will be packaged in its entirety. Previously fans could only see and hear highlights on Japanese television.
Through the years, I have touted a theory that all great hard rock can be traced back to legendary metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio. I called it my "Wheel of Dio." As a proud fan of RJD, I gave him all the credit, but in reality, the wheel centers around two bands: Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.

Grand Theft Auto IV doesn't seem like a natural setting for Elsa and Anna of Disney's Frozen. The streets of Liberty City are significantly rougher than those of Arendelle, but the sisters got it covered. While "Let It Go" and a uh, more adult version of the song play, Elsa and Anna ride motorcycles, shoot guns, and act like badasses. It's kind of awesome.

Police survey on gun laws
The web site Police One did quite an extensive survey of officers regarding gun laws and crime. Police are largely in favor of armed citizens.
Police took an oath to defend the Constitution.
No surprises there. :)
I'm not suprised. I know quite a few cops and most of them a pro-gun as well as pro concealed carry. Hurray for our courageous men and women in blue!
This survey supports what I have been saying for years. There was even more support in years past, but still most cops support an armed public. I would guess most of the lack of support comes from urban and union officers!:)
The ones that get all the press are the FOP, Association of Police Chiefs, and other liberal LEO groups that generally call the NE home.
Most LEO's I know in the real world want to see armed civilians around them.
The working police officer knows once the citizens are disarmed they are next. Most police organizations both Federal, State and local labor under more ridiculous rules than the average civilian gun owner.
"I will faithfully perform my duties, enforcing the law fairly with all due courtesy, discretion, and compassion;"
This presents a real dilemma for a sworn officer in our state. In order to uphold both the US and Florida constitutions he has to be derelict in his duties to enforce the law. He freely took an oath with all good intention, but in order to perform his first duty he has to be selective about the second.
When I got into law enforcement I thought I was entering a black and white world. If it's the law, I would enforce it. It didn't take long for me to realize there are so many subtle shades of gray involved that I didn't belong in this calling. I was young, I was inexperienced, and I was too compassionate for my own good. I frequently found myself doing things I had a moral problem with because the law said I had to do them. I lasted two years.
I was very fortunate to witness something on a wreck call one night that redirected my public service to EMS where shades of gray not only worked, but were encouraged. I went from 'this is the law... enforce it' to 'this is what the book says... do what works' and I loved it.
As things stand today, I would never consider wasting the two years I spent as a LEO. We are getting to the point where it is impossible for a LEO to live up to his/her oath, and if you are going to ask me to swear an oath it needs to be something I firmly believe I can accomplish. With all the contradictions involved at the federal, state. and local levels I couldn't take that oath in good faith.
Nice links! The only ones who will be surprised by this are the closet LE haters on here.
And there are a lot of them.:(

This has occurred because all medicines have to undergo strenuous research over many years before they are even trialled in humans; and then, even after release onto the general market, they are monitored for decades to make sure that everything is known about how that particular medications works and all it's potential side effects. This is an enormously expensive process and in the vast majority of cases, all this research and clinical trials are funded by multinational pharmaceutical companies who are the only ones with the sort of money needed to pay for such trials. And this does have the potential for conflicts of interest. Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAMs) are a different kettle of fish altogether. They have evolved out of a millennia of experience, little of which has been subject to the rigours of modern research. CAMs also face the other apparent credibility problems because: 1. CAMs covers such a vast array of health care issues such as herbal medicine and so on. 2. The excessive claims of a small minority of CAMs practitioners for cures for cancer and other diseases, which have given CAMs an unfair reputation amongst the more conservative medical practitioners. So the first challenge is to try and get a "handle" on the vast discipline that CAMs are. For that I suggest that the Americans have a solid basis and they classify CAMs in the following way. Whole medical systems Mind-body medicine Biologically based practices Manipulative and body-based practices Energy medicine Whole medical systems are centered on a philosophy based on the power of nature or the presence of an energy force in your body: such systems include the ancient Indian Ayurveda and the traditional Chinese medicines. It would also include Naturopathy that focusses on helping the body to help itself. But the more mainstream activities of healthy living such as exercise, lifestyle changes, acupuncture, massage and so on are included in this section; as is Homeopathy whose proponents believe that by using minute doses of a substance, the body is stimulated into healing itself. Mind-Body Medicine is based on the idea that these two systems are interdependent and need to be in balance for maximal health. Therapies in this group would include meditation, prayer, relaxation, music and art therapy. Biologically based practices use herbs and supplements and encompass a vast variety of nature based therapies. These are used in the forms of capsules, powders, oils, teas, syrups and inhalations. Manipulation methods include massage therapy. Energy medicine is based on the belief that our bodies have an energy that flows through it, and if there are interruptions to this natural flow, then ill health can follow. By unblocking, or re-balancing the flow, health is restored. Examples of such methods would be reiki, magnetic and qi gong therapy. Many of the methods described above have become incorporated into western medicine: all of us have been urged to be active every day, such as the benefit of exercise - and this has been proven by many well recognised clinical trials that cover such areas as cancer prevention, depression, heart disease and so on. But there are still many problems to overcome before both sides of the CAMs v Western Medicine debate live happily ever after. The good news is that the search for truth will always win in the long run, and while many will be skeptical about some CAMs claims there are many good features that can only help people who are worried about their health. And the way that we will achieve a good outcome is for everyone to be part of the solution. Good communication is essential. So, if you are taking, or receiving any CAM treatment please: Do tell your family Doctor. If you want to find out more about CAMs, talk with your Doctor and get their advice and input. If you're taking any supplement or treatment from a CAMs practitioner, then please do tell your treating Doctor, especially if you are on any medications for other health issues. And finally, do not stop taking any treatment for any condition and replace it with a CAMs therapy before consultation with your treating Doctor and your therapist.

Another age-gap question. Opinions on a college guy dating a girl 2.5 years younger and still in high school? Anybody have experience with this? Highschool Girls: if a guy is that much older than you, would you be uninterested?
Most Helpful Girl
I personally wouldn't date an older guy while in high school but it depends. If I knew them for a while, say a family friend who I am close to then maybe but if it was someone I just meet then no. I would date a guy a couple of years older than me if I was the one in college though.00|00|0
This is what I mean... its the status of highschool vs college. I'm not sure why it matters. If both are in college, nobody bats an eye. Thanks for answering.
