This article gives an overview of recent research on the mechanical properties and spatial deformations of the DNA molecule. Globally the molecule behaves like a uniform elastic rod, and its twisting and writhing govern its compaction and packaging within a cell. Meanwhile high mechanical stresses can induce structural transitions of DNA giving, for example, a phase diagram in the space of the applied tension and torque. Locally, the mechanical properties vary according to the local sequence organization. These variations play a vital role in the biological functioning of the molecule.

SACRAMENTO -- A Sacramento hospital patient has tested negative for the Ebola virus, state health officials announced on Thursday.
CBS Sacramento reports that doctors and public-health officials said tests sent to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta came back negative.
The patient was considered low-risk from the beginning, but was placed in a special, negative pressure room where doctors wore protective clothing to prevent the potential spread of the disease.
Doctors credited state and county public health agencies and the CDC, saying this case is proof the system is working.
"Their coordinated response and support was essential in swiftly ruling out Ebola in our patient," said Dr. Richard Isaacs with Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento.
The hospital remains tight-lipped about many of the details, citing privacy laws. They would not disclose where the patient is now, what illness they may have had, and when the negative test results came in.
The California Department of Public Health emphasizes there are no confirmed Ebola cases in California, and no patients at any hospitals statewide are considered high-risk.
Meanwhile on Thursday, an American doctor infected with Ebola left his isolation unit and warmly hugged his doctors and nurses on Thursday, showing the world that he poses no public health threat one month after getting sick with the virus.
Dr. Kent Brantly and his fellow medical missionary, Nancy Writebol, who was quietly discharged two days earlier, are still weak but should recover completely, and no one need fear being in contact with them, said Dr. Bruce Ribner, who runs the infectious disease unit at Emory University Hospital.
Brantly's reappearance was festive and celebratory, a stark contrast to his arrival in an ambulance under police escort three weeks earlier, when he shuffled into the hospital wearing a bulky white hazardous materials suit.
"I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, and to be reunited with my family," Brantly said, choking up as he read a written statement. Then he and his wife turned and hugged a parade of doctors and nurses, hugging or shaking hands with each one. For some, it was their first direct contact without protective gear.

Case 1
By Dr. Bruce Anderson
On March 3, 2009, Patient RL, who is a 79-year-old female, presented for a contact lens fitting for her right eye. RL had a history of a corneal transplant in the right eye secondary to Fuch's dystrophy. RL's vision in this eye at distance with her current glasses, was 20/80+2. She had never worn contact lenses previously. Topography was performed is enclosed below.
Due to the significant central distortion and astigmatism, it was decided to fit her into a rigid lens. With the aid of the information from the topography, I fit her into a Dyna Intralimbal design. The initial trial contact lens placed on her eye had a prescription of:
Dyna Intralimbal
With the lens in place and over refraction of -0.25, she could see 20/30 at distance. The initial contact lens held position very well, and exhibited approximately 0.5mm movement. There was a slight central touch from the flourscein pattern with the contact lens. The peripheral edge was slightly tight. From this, I ordered an initial contact lens, in the Dyna Intralimbal design:
Dyna Intralimbal / Menicon Z
|1+ Flat
The initial contact lens was dispensed on March 10, 2009. The acuity at distance with the lens was 20/40+. The contact lens held well on the cornea and decentered slightly nasally. The fit of the lens centrally was 1- flat. The lens was dispensed at this visit with a wearing schedule beginning at two hours the first day and increasing by one hour a day. A follow-up was scheduled for one week.
At the one week follow-up visit, on March 19, 2009, RL stated that she was doing very well. She currently had the lens on the eye for two hours at this visit, and had worn the lens for a maximum of eight hours. The acuity with the contact lens was 20/40+2. Over refraction was variable between Plano and +0.50. The contact lens was holding well centrally with a slight nasal decentration and was moving approximately 1/4 mm. There was no significant corneal staining or irritation secondary to the wearing of the lens.
The final follow-up visit was provided on April 2, 2009. At this visit, she stated that she was doing extremely well and was now wearing the lens all day. The acuity with the lens was 20/30-1, over refraction was variable at +0.25 to Plano. The lens was holding centrally very well, again, with a slight nasal decentration. It was moving approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mm movement. Upon removal of the lens, there was no significant corneal staining or irritation. The final assessment is that she was doing very well and the fit was stable. She was discharged for one year with follow-up with her cornea doctor back north in six months (she was a seasonal resident of Florida).
The reason for choosing this patient for the case report is there are many interesting factors that need to be evaluated when fitting this type of patient.
- She has a corneal transplant and we need to ensure that the lens does not cause any irritation or problems with the transplant.
- She has an extremely high amount of astigmatism as measured with the topography, measured at approximately 15.00 D.
- She has no history of previous lens wear and the ability to tolerate wearing a rigid lens.
In an attempt to correct this astigmatism, one needs to look at the topography and evaluate the condition of the eye and determine what lens design may work best. With evaluation of the topography, it is noted that the astigmatism is located more centrally than peripherally. The astigmatism is located mainly within the graft region. However, there is a nasal drop-off. From this I would expect the lens to shift nasally. By using a large diameter lens, I was able to vault over the central cornea and hold to the peripheral cornea to keep the lens in place. This would also make the lens more comfortable and easier to adapt to wearing. Also from the topography, there is a flatter region at approximately 180° on the cornea. I had concerns that the lens would bear in this area and cause irritation Because of the drop-off nasally and flat region temporally, my initial contact lens used for evaluating the fit was based on the flatter end of the curvature spectrum based on the corneal curvature. The sim Ks were 40.07D/55.57D @ 108°. With this drop-off nasally, a slightly steeper lens could vault over some of these areas and hug the peripheral cornea. The initial trial lens had a base curve of 45.00D and 11.2 diameter. The trial lens fit very well on the eye, however, was slightly tight, and thus, this necessitated the use of a slightly flatter peripheral curve and slightly flatter base curve. Once the contact lens was worn, the lens was decentering slightly nasally. This is due to the steeper region nasally, which allows the lens to slide in the nasal direction. There was slight bearing of the peripheral curve at the 180° flat region; however, this did not prove to be a problem during the wearing of the lens. This was evaluated during each follow-up visit. Fortunately, even though RL did not have a history of wearing contact lenses previously, she adapted to the lens quickly. She did extremely well with the wearing of the lens and was very determined to be successful. She was discharged from immediate follow-up and was scheduled to return in one year.
Other things for discussion about the fit of this lens is the use of a large diameter. Using larger diameter lenses such as this, you can vault over the central cornea. Many times, you may be able to ignore the measured astigmatism in the central region even if it appears to be significant. Look at the topography of the peripheral cornea and determine how far the toricity extends. If the astigmatism is central, a large diameter spherical lens may be the best fit choice. The peripheral curves and edge of lens are used to stabilize and hold the lens in place. Other things to be considered are the material used. With corneal transplants, you do not want to cause irritation to the eye due to lack of oxygen. I prefer to use the highest DK material available with any particular design. The design must be stable with any material and not flex. My favorite materials include Menicon Z and Boston XO2.
The final fitting pearls that may be taken from fitting this cornea:
- Use topography to evaluate corneal astigmatism and irregularity and realize that many times, the astigmatism that is measured is only central and not peripheral. If this is the case a large diameter lens will usually work well
- Think large. The larger diameter lenses hold more stably on the eyes, keep their position better, move less and cause less lens awareness. Large diameter lens will fit up under the upper lid and create a more comfortable fit.
- Use high permeable and stable materials to prevent a hypoxic situation that could aggravate a corneal transplant.
Case 2
By Dr. Bruce Anderson
Patient DW was initially seen on January 15, 2008 as a referral for a contact lens fitting. DW had a history of keratoconus in both eyes and subsequently had a corneal transplant in the left eye. He presented for a lens refitting for his left eye. He was presently wearing a rigid lens over a piggy-back soft contact lens and wanted to be fitted into a better lens. His vision with his current contact lens at distance was 20/30 in the left eye.
Slit lamp evaluation of the left eye with the contact lenses removed revealed a well healed and clear corneal transplant in the left eye. The central cornea was clear with a trace of punctate staining. There were no remaining sutures in place. Topography was performed and the results are enclosed below.
DW reported trying rigid contact lenses previously without a soft lens, but was unsuccessful and could not wear the rigid lens comfortably. He was hoping for a more comfortable lens that was not a piggy-back system. Because of his history, I decided to fit him into the SynergEyes hybrid lens. The initial fitting contact lens placed on the left eye had a prescription of:
SynergEyes PS
I used high molecular fluorescein to evaluate the fit with the lens in place. The lens centered well and revealed slight pooling paracentrally. There was a light lens touch over the central cornea. The lens exhibited approximately 1/8 mm movement after 10-15 minutes of wear. There was an over refraction of +0.25 with the vision corrected to 20/20. The contact lens ordered for the left eye was:
SynergEyes PS
The contact lens was dispensed on January 3, 2008. The fit of the left lens revealed that it was centering properly. It was slightly tight with approximately 1/8 mm movement. There was a bubble present at approximately 11:00 close to the limbus. The acuity was 20/20 with a Plano over refraction. The lens was dispensed at this visit and a follow-up visit was scheduled for one week. A wearing schedule was given of two hours the first day, increasing by an hour each day.
At the one week follow-up visit on February 26, 2008, he stated that he was wearing the lens approximately 10 hours. The acuity was 20/20. Over refraction was +0.25. The lens was centering well with approximately 1/8 mm movement. With the contact lens removed, there was no significant corneal staining or irritation. Further follow-up was provided on February 19, 2008. At this visit, he stated that he was still doing well. The acuity with the contact lens was 20/25+. Over refraction was Plano. The lens was moving approximately 1/8 mm. Upon removal of the contact lens, there was a trace of central punctuate staining. I scheduled one further follow-up for approximately three weeks. On March 7, 2008, he was evaluated again. He stated he was doing very well with the contact lens. The wearing time was all day. The acuity was 20/20 with a Plano over refraction. The lens was centering well with approximately 1/8 mm or less of movement. There was no significant corneal staining upon removal of the contact lens. He was released from care at this point and requested that he return in one year.
However, DW was seen on May 28, 2008 for an emergency with acute red eyes in both eyes. DW's profession is a fire fighter, and stated that he had recently fought a major fire with excessive smoke. Since the fire he had been having significant redness and irritation in both eyes. Evaluation of the contact lens in the left eye revealed that it was fitting well and the acuity was 20/25. There was 2+ circumlimbal injection. There was a trace of microcysts 360° at the limbus. The central cornea was clear, however, there was slight punctuate staining. I placed him on Tobradex ophthalmic solution, 1 drop both eyes every two hours for 48 hours and then q.i.d. until return. I asked him to return in one week. At the follow-up visit on June 11, 2008, he said that he was doing very well and was currently back to wearing the contact lens. He stated that he had not had any further problems, and his eyes had cleared quickly after starting the medication. I did provide warnings about wearing the lenses in noxious environments and the need to remove the lenses as soon as possible in these situations. No further follow-up was scheduled.
The choice for fitting the SynergEyes lens was made because of DW's previous intolerance to rigid lenses. He was wearing a piggy-back system, but he was not pleased having to wear two lenses. The initial trial Synergeyes lens that was chosen to be placed on the eye was based on the topography readings. The central cornea readings for the left eye were 44.71/ 48.50 @ 127. There was also a certain amount of plateauing of the graft. This configuration will usually do well with a reverse geometry design. The initial base curve of 7.6 mm was based on approximating the flatter meridian. The Lift 2 chosen, in that it was in the middle of the available lifts. If lift adjustments needed to be made, the lift could then be increased or decreased as needed. As it turns out, the initial lens did fit well and this parameter was ordered based on the initial evaluation of the fit and flourscein pattern. If it is found that the lens was bearing too heavy on the cornea, then the lift could be changed or the base curve could be steepened to pull it away from the cornea. The fit needs to be followed over several weeks to be sure it is stable and the cornea is not being compromised. Frequently, this lens will tighten on the eye over time. Any changes in the fit from expected should be made with a change in the lens parameters to resolve any problems. Follow up visits should be made over many weeks to several months to ensure the fit is stable. Always use flourscein to evaluate for localized corneal irritation, so the fit can be adjusted to eliminate these potential problem spots. Pay close attention to the junction portion of the lens to ensure that it does not bear too heavy on the cornea. If the touch in this region is too heavy, this will frequently cause irritation. If so, then the fit needs to be adjusted.
Also, there were concerns about the red eye reaction that had occurred after the smoke exposure. Working in an irritating environment and wearing contact lenses is always a concern. Precautions are taken in his work as a fire fighter, but excessive smoke exposure alone (even if contact lenses were not worn) can be a significant problem. Recommendations were made to keep the eyes lubricated as much as possible during fire work. The contacts should be removed as soon as possible after extreme exposure to smoke and other irritants. The lenses should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after such exposure.
When fitting a corneal transplant, special care is needed to prevent any hypoxic situation. Chronic irritation and edema could lead to a corneal rejection. Always remove the lens at each visit. Use flourscein to check for any areas of chronic corneal irritation. Check for microcysts, especially at the limbus to look for signs of chronic hypoxia. If changes are noted then the fit needs to be questioned.
DW was seen approximately one year later. At this visit, he was doing well. The vision and the fit were stable and no changes were made.

Today I had the joy of experiencing the quintessential element of consumerism in America, HORRIFIC customer service. It is easy to see why the label "customer dis-service" is thrown around so much these days. While it is easy for me to scream out "HP sucks" this morning, given my very recent experience with their version of customer dis-service, the problem of poor customer service goes well beyond HP. As a small business owner for years I've had the displeasure of arguing with and fighting with a number of vendors over the past 2 years including Apple, Asus, Comcast, Dell, and Windstream to name a few. Every one of those companies provided horrible customer service in an effort to protect and maximize profits. However this article is not about specific bad experiences, it is about consumer influence over corporate giants in the modern era.
Are You Influential?
The question is fairly simple, how influential ARE YOU? Decades ago, possibly even just a few years ago, consumers did not have a voice. The only way anyone would listen to you was to call the 800-number on the back of the product package and hope you got someone that could speak English. Those few lucky lottery winners that happened to get Abish-Jahmad-Abdula Misnakov on a good day might actually get them to click the button on their screen that gave them a positive result. However for most of us we would get one of the responses listed on the "10 Excuses To Get Rid of Customers Quickly" sheet that was taped to Abish'es monitor. Corporations didn't care or even pretend to care because they knew you were a nobody. You had no voice. Who would you tell? Your 10 friends that you'd talk to that week? "Ha. I will squish you like a bug" they would say as the ran another $25,000 TV spot and make everyone forget your pithy little story about bad customer service.
Today, things have changed. You post on Facebook, Google Plus, or Twitter and dozens if not hundreds (or for a select few THOUSANDS) of people hear you. Not only are you given a megaphone to broadcast to EVERYONE you know, not just the 10 people you would come into direct contact with that week, the comments stick around. People that you don't interact with every day will still see your comments days, weeks, or even years from now. If you make the comments public, then the "stickiness" goes up 10-fold with Google, Bing, and others grabbing your comment and cross-referencing it 1,000 times than archiving it for decades.
But does this make your more influential? Do your comments have ANY impact on the decisions of the corporate giants?
Corporate Intelligence Is Numb
While all those rants and raves may make you feel better, how much influence do you really have. Sure people like Oprah will have an influence with millions of followers reading her every word, but what about you. Your influence over other people's decisions is certainly more extensive than it was a decade ago, but is it strong enough to change corporate behavior?
Yes and no. In my opinion you have more power and direct influence over corporate revenue and profit than corporations realize. However corporations are much too large and their business intelligence systems too "numb" to feel it. Most corporations are reactionary and only change course after their quarterly earnings report shows they are failing. By then it is much too late to change course.
Big companies that spend millions on business intelligence and even more on marketing to influence YOU and your purchases are missing the mark. They are relying on 80's era tools to operate in the modern highly-social-high-velocity era. They have it all wrong. Instead of focusing on customer relations and social marketing they continue to run formulas that dictate whether or not it is OK to lose you as a customer by not providing the best possible customer service experience. Those old formulas drastically under-estimate your influence.
An Influential Example
As an example I present a simple case from my experience today. In my particular case an HP Direct sales agent made an error. At the end of the day HP will decide whether or not I should "eat" the $277 extended warranty purchase or whether they will "own up" to their mistake and replace that purchase with the correct product at no charge to me. The formula is simple, is keeping me as a customer worth a potential adjustment on their books of $277 (sadly the REAL cost for HP is more like $50 when factoring in the production cost differential between the correct and incorrect product).
In this case the customer has a potential loss of $277. That is more than a six-pack of Sam Adams, my preferred measuring stick for economic activity, by a long shot. Enough so that it activates my "rant button". On to the blogs, forums, and email lists I go. I tell people about my horrible experience and thus my influence has begun. However the potential corporate losses are MUCH, MUCH greater and chances are they don't see it.
Directly Underestimated
HP tries to figure out what this means to them financially. The first mistake in the formulaic approach? Looking at customer history. Sadly even with the modern business intelligence tools they have at their disposal they will find just ONE lonely record of my purchases with HP. A $277 warranty. Already they are starting off on the wrong foot. I am currently looking at thousands-of-dollars in HP equipment purchased in the past 12 months alone, and that is just right here on my desk. Several high-end HP monitors, a top-of-the-line laptop, business office printers. None of which register in the HP intelligence database because they were purchased from a 3rd party and never registered formally with HP. Then there is the corporate influence. Last year I owned a few companies and provided CTO consulting to several more. Total HP purchases in the past 12 months is unknown but is in the tens-of-thousands range. Because they were purchased through buying agents at each organization HP never connects the dots.
Ripples Versus Waves
OK, so maybe it is easy to understand WHY they would underestimate my purchases in the past 12 months. However they do this with "normal" consumers as well. Chances are you rarely, if ever, register your products online or with the warranty card that came in the box. I know very few people that do this for anything but what they consider "large" purchases or for items that might break. However there is a second error that is even more significant. The ripple effect.
Another part of a good risk assessment tool for a large corporation is determining influence of a consumer. How likely are you to purchase products in the future based on how egregious the error and lack of customer service. More importantly, will it have a direct impact on sales not directly attributed to the consumer? When I was actively running a corporation I could easily give them a corporate account number and they would see that this was not just ONE purchase that I influenced, but dozens. In fact I've use this card in the past when not getting personal attention and depending on the vendor BOY did this create a change of attitude. Back when I was buying 6-figures worth of equipment from Dell their screw-up on my personal laptop purchase was IMMEDIATELY rectified with apologies only AFTER I cited the corporate accounts to which I was linked.
But that thinking on behalf of the corporation is flawed. Today we ALL have a lot more influence than they realize and it starts with a ripple. While my corporate purchases were more akin to a wave, a noticeable disturbance in their revenues, my tiny little personal purchase and the dozen people I reach on my personal Facebook page is but a ripple. The direct revenue is minimal and even if you multiply it by the dozen people on my personal connections list, let's say 36 people as that is the average active friends for a typical Facebook user, it is still nothing compared to the wave of a corporate purchase order.
Sphere of Influence
However this is a grossly underestimated sphere of influence. To go back to my $277 example, my influence goes WAY beyond the $277 and can quickly form a big enough ripple to almost be a wave. Even in my case with a dozen direct contacts on Facebook there are at least a FEW that will second-guess buying an HP product if I write a scathing review and back it up with facts that point to an unquestionable failure on behalf of HP. Those few people that let me advice and input influence them tend to purchase $500 – $2500 every-other-year in electronics. If I tell them "buy HP" like I did 6 months ago, they buy HP. If I say "stay away from HP and Dell", they stay away. That is thousands in sales that shift, ever-so-subtly, to another brand. HP will never notice.
Then there are the public Facebook posts via my software releases. Those are NOT directly linked but reach hundreds if not thousands of technical users. Then there are the tweets. And the comments on public forums that discuss HP products, and every now & then an online RSS feed for a major publication picks up blog posts like this one. Suddenly a "small guy" like me reaches tens-of-thousands of people. Granted not all, in fact MOST, of the readers will not give a damn about what I say. However SOME will think twice about HP and if there is a close decision it may be enough to persuade them to choose the other brand.
Ripple + Ripple = Wave
Now the REAL issue here which the corporate giants miss is what happens when ripples meet. You write a short tweet about a bad HP experience. I blog, tweet, and Facebook (is that a word now?) my experience. Soon dozens of people that have no direct connections do the same. Eventually there are people "in the middle" that are "touched" by two or more ripples. The effect is a multiplication of the intensity of the ripples. Before you know it all of these ripples have become a wave and since corporate business intelligence systems are too numb to feel the influence of individual ripples they MISS IT. By the time it has become a wave and that wave has crashed into their quarterly revenue and earnings report it is too late. It is very hard to mitigate the effect of thousands of ripples with a big marketing push.
Make Ripples
So there you have it, my theory on the influence of the "small guys" like you & I. The modern era of online social interaction has given us the tools to create the ripples that can grow into waves. When you have a good or bad customer experience with a company, tell people. The good companies will take care of their customers and turn negative ripples into positives. Those that don't will be blind-sided by the wave of negativity.
Maybe the corporations will catch on soon, but I doubt it. The large behomoths of the 80s and 90s are likely to die a long lingering death as they spin in circles trying to figure out what is going on. In the meantime those companies built in the modern era that understand "the small guy is in charge", companies like Google and Amazon, will continue to grow and thrive. Until the next paradigm shift comes along…
So what do you think? Are you influential? Share your thoughts!

My DSLR stayed in my overnight bag, forgotten, in the midst of our family affairs. So I leave you with some instagram photos from our holiday travels.
I never realized growing up how I lived in the country. My family only had five acres of land, we had a ranch style house, and there were cows two plots over. You can't see the neighbors house from my dad's and there was one kid within walking distance of our house. This was always normal.
Now, even though I don't life in a big city, I live in town and when I come home I realize how dark and quiet it is in the woods. I can see why people from a city think the country can be scary, but really it's calming. I notice that the majority of the photos from my break center around the woods and nature. That's comfortable to me. While home we still went out and fed the fire (have you ever used a wood furnace for heat?) and took a hike around the lake.
I'm thankful that I have a family to come home to (two families even) and that there is a place I will always feel at home.

'The article deals with 'Bevölkerungsfragen' as a part of the process of Social Engineering, which was described by Zygmunt Bauman. By the example of Peter-Heinz Seraphim, a protagonist of German Ostforschung and 'Jew expert' in Nazi Germany, it is shown, which relevance political conceptions in population had and in which way they were related to the 'Judenforschung' of Seraphim. Furthermore the question is raised which social practice was linked with this: To what extent did the construction of 'Bevölkerungsfragen' come along with the displacement of other concepts and their representatives, and to what extent was Seraphim himself integrated in the process of realization of his own demands?'

Mercedes G63 vs. BMW i8: Our Silly Drag Race Between the Past and Future
17 Novembre 2015 - Autoblog
You see, we were just trying to conserve resources. We had Milan Dragway rented for a test of the AMS Alpha 10 Audi R8, and there was some extra track time, so we brought these two along. That's called saving money. Or something.
Aside from being German, the G63 and i8 couldn't really be much more different – one is a prehistoric military vehicle with a nutty twin-turbo V8, the other a vision of the near future of efficient sports cars. So what did we do? We lined them up against each other, editor-in-chief Michael Austin in the i8 and me in the G-Wagen. Though we had a good idea of the likely winner – note which car the boss is driving – the results were still surprising.

Target: Speaker of the House, John Boehner
Goal: Remove Missouri Representative Todd Akin from the House Committee for Science, Space and Technology.
Todd Akin, Missouri Representative and Senate candidate is now infamous for his recent remarks concerning a woman's ability to shut down reproductively during episodes of "legitimate rape." Despite Akin's confused expectations of the female body, he sits on the House Committee for Science, Space and Technology. Please sign this petition and urge Speaker of the House John Boehner to remove Akin from the science committee as his lack of basic science understanding makes him unqualified for the position.
During a recent interview, Representative Akin cites "doctors" as his source that pregnancy during rape is rare. He goes on to explain, "If it is legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." That "whole thing" is a woman's reproductive system and despite the "doctors" who have given Akin his information, studies analyzing pregnant raped women show 30% of the 25,000 women impregnated by rapists each year choose to raise the child. Despite Akin's insulting and scientifically unfounded comments, he sits on the House Committee for Science, Space and Technology. According to CNN, "The House science committee has oversight on congressional science and technology policy and thereby helps shape the course of billions of dollars of related funding."
A person who simply ignores scientific fact in favor of political hopes and dreams should not be governing a nation's scientific funding. Comments made based on opinion are often disguised behind a façade of fact when social issues are discussed. It is important for politician's to be accountable, and face consequences for offensive and false comments. Akin must be held accountable for his misleading words and failure to admit the remarks were false in his first apology. The United States needs intelligent, science-savvy lawmakers leading the country in scientific and technological advances.
Please sign this petition and urge Speaker Boehner to remove Representative Akin from the House Committee for Science, Space and Technology in favor of a Representative who makes decisions based on scientific research.
Dear Speaker Boehner,
Todd Akin's recent comments regarding a women's ability to shut down her reproductive system in cases of "legitimate rape" have spurred a whirlwind of backlash. Akin's scientifically unfounded comments, citing "doctors" as his source, is evidence that he should not be on the House Committee for Science, Space and Technology. As a leading country in technology it is important for committee members to make decisions based on scientific fact rather than ill-construed political dreams. I am writing to urge you to remove Akin from the science committee as a consequence of ignoring scientific fact, making misleading comments as facts, and not being educated enough to thoughtfully remark on such a serious topic.
The House Science Committee is crucial to the long-term scientific progress of the United States. The committee is responsible for congressional oversight on science and technology policy, thereby deciding the fate of billions of dollars of related funding. Committee members must make decisions based on empirical research in order for the country to move forward with the most productive initiatives, rather than those favored by ignorance or political motive.
Please remove Representative Akin from the House Committee for Science, Space and Technology in response to his false, ignorant, and offensive comments about a woman's ability to get pregnant in cases of "legitimate rape."

The Housing Authority of New Orleans police officer who was killed on Sunday morning in Central City has been identified as James Bennett, 45.
Police said Bennett was killed while patrolling the Guste Homes public housing complex.
In an online profile, Bennett described himself as a retired patrol sergeant for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. He had served with HANO's small police force since 2013.
There appeared to be few or no witnesses to the killing in the darkened 2300 block of Erato Street. No additional information had been released Monday in what Mayor Mitch Landrieu called a "heinous assault."
"As this death is the subject of an ongoing investigation, there will be no further information released at present," Coroner Jeffrey Rouse said in a statement.

Lady Gaga Dances in Street + on Car Hood in 'Marry the Night' Video Footage
Footage of Lady Gaga filming the video for 'Marry the Night' has surfaced and the Mother Monster is dressed in her usual uniform of black shorts, black bra top and thigh-high black boots that mean business. With her hair fashioned in a short blond bob (another look we've seen and like), she climbs atop the roof of a car and is then bumping and grinding on the hood of the car!
There is also some sort of trash bag was being hoisted over her as she writhes suggestively on the car. We've got a rear view — literally, as we definitely see several shots of Gaga's shapely derriere — so we're not sure what the trash bag has to do with the action. Maybe it's not a prop and is part of the crew's equipment somehow? Who knows, since we've never shot a video before.
Things also catch on fire. Well, Gaga generates heat, so it's no wonder things are combusting in her presence, right?
This portion was reportedly shot on a rooftop in Harlem at night. Since Gaga is the bride of the after hours, we didn't expect much of this video to be filmed in broad daylight.
Photos from the shoot have also surfaced, where Gaga's famous pout was painted a mega wattage shade of bright blue. She's also dancing in the streets with a crew behind her, wearing heels and a strapless, short, black leather, body hugging one-piece jumpsuit. We can't wait til they start mass producing this look and selling it at H+M. It's a sporty yet fashion forward ensemble that's bound to inspire copycat looks.
Did we mention we love the icy blue lipstick? Oh, how we love Haus of Gaga.

The world is a heartbreaking place...
I'm sure many of you have heard that in Harper Lee's new novel being released tomorrow that Atticus Finch, hero of the book we were all forced to read, To Kill A Mockingbird, where he brilliantly defended a black man, is now going to be portrayed as a biggoted racist and segregationist. At first I was shocked and dimsayed and thought poorly of Harper Lee for wanting to release this. Then I realized, this is not only the perfect way of keeping conversations about race on the literary table, but also brilliantly showing a complex character who is very human.
Racism and its place in the literary world is not in the realm of this site, so I'll move on to how Atticus Finch actually being a racist (or becoming more of a racist as he aged) revals a complex portrait about all of us. I can have flawed views and still do good. I can have good views and still choose to act in flawed ways. The world isn't as cookie cutter as good vs. evil and it's this belief that it is so easy to understand that makes us dissapointed in life when it comes to dating, romance, relationships and sex.
We can use Atticus Finch as a metaphor for the dissapointment we've all experienced when it comes to people we have fallen in love with or family members who we've trusted, but have hurt us or done horrible things to others which we disagree with. To now hate Atticus Finch doesns't do justice to the incredible things he achieved in To Kill A Mockingbird. To continue to love Atticus Finch in the same way doesn't serve the man he has become in the new novel (at least according to all the information Harper Lee has confirmed about it.)
People are extremely complex and they're motivated by much more nuanced things than a desire to do good and punish evil. More importantly, an adult needs to be capable of handling the moral complexities he or she will face in the real world. You need to be able to handle that Atticus Finch is a racist. You need to not dismiss him for it. You need to try to understand him. You don't need to like him, but you need to accept him for what he is and not what you would like him to be. Of course, he's just a character, but it's so often that the characters we read about influence us to create judgements of real people that we meet. The problem is that characters are so often made to be perfect according to our own values. Atticus Finch being a racist and a hero are two very contradictory things that challenge us as readers. Perhaps, it will help us try to understand real people with such contradictions.
To conclude, I think everyone who read To Kill A Mockingbird should read Go Set A Watchman with this in mind: What makes the character of Atticus Finch is not White, Southerner, Educated...these mean nothing in terms of how we connect to him. What matter is what does the character want, what does the character need, and what stands in the characters way. I think if we looked at each other especially in our relationships based on what we want, need, and our obstacles we would understand one another better and understanding would bring more peace although it may not actually get us to like one another any better.
You need to give up your Disney interpretation of a knight in shining armor. The world is a heartbreaking place...

When one thinks of the NES classic Duck Hunt, you probably think of grabbing an old light gun and playing the same way you did in 1985. While doing this on an HDTV is next to impossible on its own, you can use an HDTV Upscaler to ensure that your classic NES titles work on the newest TV sets.
Things You'll Need
- Nintendo Entertainment System
- Duck Hunt cartridge
- HDTV Upscaler
Hook up the HDTV Upscaler to your HD TV. Depending on the upscaler used, it will connect either through composite cables (green, blue, red) or through HDMI.
Connect the NES to the HDTV Upscaler via the RF Out. You will want to take this time to also connect your cable/satellite wires as well as any DVD players you have.
If your NES model uses AV cables (red and yellow), plug those into their respective outputs on the back of the HDTV Upscaler.
Switch your TV to the proper channel for your RF Out. For some TV models, this is a specific channel, but for the majority of television sets, the RF Out is the default. If this is the case, simply turn your TV to channel 3.
Power on your NES console and begin a game of Duck Hunt.
Tips & Warnings
- While you can hook an NES up to your TV without an HDTV Upscaler, the light gun necessary to play Duck Hunt will not work due to the technology being incompatible.
- If nothing else, simply purchase the game off the Wii Shopping Channel.

And the content marketing continues…
Posted by Ilise Benun on
Web designer and developer, Jill Anderson, recently blogged about Freelancing and maternity leave. But maternity leave hasn't stopped her content marketing machine (which helped her achieve a 17% increase in 1 year—Download the case study for details).
Jill is using her time away to keep the ball rolling with a series, Applying the 7 Principles of Design to WordPress. Jill says:
Engaging websites aren't just accidents—they happen on purpose, and are almost always grounded in the basics. I hope you find these examples both informative and inspiring.
If you're a creative business owner, consider these elements when working with a web designer.
If you're a designer like me—I think it's always good to see great examples. As we grow in our careers, going back to the basics can gives us a new perspective. I think the more capable we become, the better we can relay and transform these basics into something that's entirely new and unexpected.
Check out her latest posts in the series:

No Present Lense For Future Tense

Living the life of a missionary is never easy. For Dave, it was never a question of easy or hard but a question of should or should not. He chose the less-traveled path of a missionary because he knew it was what he was called to. In 10 years, God had taken Dave to many countries, served in various roles, preached to many people and see many souls come to Christ. Yet he does not own a penny. All Dave ever had was provided by God either through generosity or some miraculous means. However, it's always easier to do ministry outside compare to home.
Ever since Dave left his $8,000 per month salary to serve God full-time, his mother had never stopped worrying about his future.
"Dave, how are you going to survive every month without a pay check?"
"Don't worry mum, God always provides for me", is the only lame-sounding but true-to-his-soul answer he could give to her.
"What about your future? What about when you have a wife and kids? Are you going to penniless your whole life? You won't have a future if you keep going like this", said Dave's mother in a very concerned tone.
"Don't worry mum, ok. Everything will be fine. I love you. Gotta go." Click went the phone.
Dave had no answer except the one he had already given. Even he sometimes doubted God's goodness in providing for his future family. "If I don't eat, I can still survive to glorify God. If I have to sleep on the ground, I can still use my body to praise His name", thought Dave "but not my wife and kids."
"Lord, what is Your will? I can't possibly stand to watch my future wife and kids suffer or be in want. You made me a man and that means that I also have to be a provider for my family. Lord God Almighty, I give myself to you. Please give me the grace to continue to serve You". Dave prostrated himself on the floor weeping.
And in his sorrow and worry for the future, a brand new thought came to his mind as though a new bulb got turned on. Suddenly, even though he still wasn't sure, he knew in his heart that it WAS going to be okay. God indeed would take care of all his needs and including his future family. It was such a simple thought but it blew his mind and he could help turning from sadness to joyful thanksgiving. He quickly wrote it down so as to not forget this great truth. Dave opened his Bible to where the verse was located and carefully underlined it and slip the piece of paper into its pages.
On the paper, it simply wrote in his handwriting, "You must not look at your future circumstances with your present lenses. The future could only be see through My eyes. And My eyes and My thoughts are good to you - Jeremiah 29:11"
All throughout the Bible, God constantly reminds us that He is a good God not only of the present but also of our futures. But with our limited vision, we cannot see far and often misunderstand our current situation to be constant all throughout our lives. How often have you heard people commenting, "If you're poor not, you will ALWAYS be poor", "You'll never make it in life, you failure", etc...
The reason we have a hope is because we have a God who knows and wants to shape our future to be one of tremendous blessing and joy.
I am currently facing a great difficult much like Dave and if you are also facing one, I urge you, brother/sister, not to give up. Whatever we are facing now is only temporary. He is faithful and will always come to the rescue. But in the mean time, we just need to persevere through and trust in His perfect and timely provision.
God bless,
Edwin Chia

This is quite powerful;. I often joke that the thing i do best is worry so I can definitely relate to the Mc's mum. Be careful with some sentences that might have multiple meanings. For example this line: God had taken Dave to many countries, served in various roles, initially sounds like God served in various countries. You could fix it like this: God had taken him to many countries where Dave served in various roles, This is tiny but when using Mum as a name make sure it starts with a capital M. If you put a qualifier in front like my or Dave's then it's lowercase. I really like the way you deliver your messages. It is gentle and kind and doesn't come off as too preachy. That's not always easy to do, but you make it look so. Great inspirational writing!

Yemen bombs: Fear will not make us safePosted by Alexander Hay
From the Archives: Far from giving us a sense of security, our approach to post-9/11 terrorism has made us both irrational and still all too vulnerable
While it's good news that last week's* Al Qaeda attempt to blow up planes has failed, it's time for the usual sense of deja vu.
Yes, get ready for more of the same old knee-jerking. Martin Broughton's call that some of the sillier airport security measures be scrapped will be soon forgotten. Remember - 100 ml bottles of liquid and shoes are some of the greatest threats to our nation since Hitler. So expect yet more searches, more intrusion and more stable doors bolting. No printer will be above suspicion, but of course we will all feel much safer.
This madness has reached its high apogee with the X-ray scanner, or the 'Perv Scanner' as it ought to be known. It says a lot about how rotten our values now are that we don't mind being publicly strip-searched by what is a very weird device. In fact, it's reminiscent of a Benny Hill sketch where a mad professor creates a machine that lets him see buxom beauties in their underwear and then chases them as the film speeds up and the saxophone kicks in. This rarely happens at Heathrow, mind you.
Yet the fact that we don't seem to care that the Perv Scanner is a. weird and b. profoundly dodgy says more about us than a terrorist attack ever could. In America, these can be refused, but only if you undergo a humiliating 'intensive' pat down that verges on indecent assault instead. Us plebs in the UK don't even get that option - it's either get in the Perv Scanner or you don't fly.
Make no mistake, the terrorists are winning, and are no doubt sending each other 'Jolly Well Done!' messages in the post even as we speak. They may as well have the victory parade now, if they can find some way around the fact that they think smiling, bright colours and not hiding in caves is evil. We are getting beaten by killjoys and tyrants precisely because our response to them is, well, being killjoys and tyrants.
But the real problem is, as last week has shown, that all the safety measures in the world won't work if you can find a way around them. All the scanners, thuggish airport security, intrusion and paranoia will mean nothing if the terrorists think of the one thing you haven't thought of yet.
More to the point, if a system can be created, then by definition, it can be circumvented or undermined too. It might sound shrill to compare terrorism to a virus, but in a way it is. It constantly evolves and learns new ways to attack the body politic. It's an intellectual arms race we're always destined to lose because they're always one step ahead of us.
In a sense, though, stopping terrorism is not the main goal of all these security measures. It's really about control, or a sense of control. Sufferers of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder may notice the symptoms straight away. There are all the time-consuming, repetitive, bizarre rituals; the desperate attempt to stay in control; the worst case scenario mentality; the hysterical over-reaction when challenged about this, and, lest we forget, the unyielding, never-ending sense of raw terror that dogs the sufferer in his or her every waking hour.
Like an OCD sufferer, the War on Terror must stay on its path whether it is helpful or not (usually not). To do otherwise would be to lose what sense of security one has left. This is an awful, tragic condition when it afflicts a single person. But it becomes farcical and grotesque when applied to an entire society. We've gone mad.
Nevertheless, what last week's case showed was revealing. Firstly, since those bombs made it from Yemen to Britain, often via several passenger jets and supposedly thorough searches by police and security, our rituals have been proven to be flawed. Rather than accept that what we're doing is not working (and that it makes life harsh for those who depend on air travel), the same pathology will carry on and on, and yet more rituals will be added to the list we've already got to live with. We can't admit this though. To do so would also mean having to own up to being scared and vulnerable, which we are. Yet this is the kiss-of-death in a culture where looking like you're in control is all-important.
Secondly, it wasn't the fear and gadgets that won the day. Rather, it was shared intelligence. In fact, if you look at what has foiled most terrorist attacks (other than their own ineptitude) it has been either intelligence or people who took prompt action when they saw something was wrong, like the t-shirt seller in Times Square, New York, or the luggage worker at Glasgow Airport. When terrorists do succeed, it's often down to intelligence failures - someone not joining the dots or spotting the plain and obvious. Think of the Detroit bomber who could have been intercepted before he even got on the plane, or 9/11 itself.
So rather than bog us down with more 'hand-washing' rituals, perhaps governments need to focus on getting that intelligence. They might also stop treating the public like would-be criminals and more like its eyes, ears and first line of defence. Just perhaps.
In the meantime, we should follow the example of that airline pilot from Tennessee who refused to be put through a Perv Scanner or be treated like a suspect. He did this because, after almost 5 years of no doubt reliable service on his part, the whole process was plainly nonsensical. The brazen cheek of the man!
Given that the pilot could simply crash his plane at any time rather than go through the effort to smuggle anything in to blow it up, he had a point though. And so does everyone else who refuses to be treated like this. We must stop indulging the state's ever more unhinged and creepy habits, not least because they do not make us any safer.
What's the alternative? While it may not be popular to say this, the Israeli approach to airport security seems to be the best way to go. It works and it is convenient. And, needless to say, it's not scanners or rubrics that are at the centre of this system. Instead, it's intelligence, horse sense, a good grasp of human psychology and, most of all, a willingness to use one's brain rather than fall back on gadgets and mindless rules. While some have rightly criticised its reliance on racial profiling, there is no denying the fact that it works, nor the fact that it treats air passengers not as cattle or but with some degree of civility.
Perhaps fittingly, it was the former head of Israeli Airport Security, Rafi Sela, who claimed he could easily smuggle explosive past an X-ray scanner. That's the point - with the right approach, such a thing can be done with ease. This is, however, a hard pill for our rulers to swallow, because that means accepting that they are not in total control, and so admitting their weakness.
But in any case, extra vigilance is always much more effective than the latest technological catch-all. It would do us all well to finally accept this.
*: As in, the October 2010 Yemen cargo plane bomb plot.

About HegemonicDistortion
One gets the sense that Mr. Furchtgott-Roth is simply stupid. These "arguments" sound like something Marsha Blackburn would offer -- just random free-market talking points (bonus: national security/"terrism" points!) welded onto whatever topic is at hand. It's Sarah Palin with better syntax. Even Forbes should be embarrassed to run something this lacking in basic reasoning.
Then they're going to tear up the streets the terrorists travel on, and the pipes through which the terrorists get their tap water.
But of course it's "see no evil" when it comes to Hacking Team, Gamma Group, NSO Group, etc.
"CREDO Mobile could not be reached for comment. Not that they didn't have one, but because the signal kept dropping out."
Harvard harder, Snowden!
Any legal types who can tell us what Backpage would have to show to demonstrate malicious prosecution by Harris? Or a §1983 suit? Is there a criminal analog to either of these?
Don't think you're reading my comment right: Marsha is even more facepalmy than most of TN's elected officials (the federal ones anyway), and that she's a very superficial thinker, no deeper than platitudes, bumperstickers, and conservative bromides. Palin-league, in other words.
As a Tennessean, we have so much to facepalm over when it comes to our elected officials, but Marsha is on a level of her own. Anyone capable of thinking beyond bumpersticker platitudes can run circles around her on the Sunday shows or in a debate, but her district is carved to give her a constituency of the willfully ignorant, so...
It is not something that is going to be correct. It's going to end up being refuted.
Hmm, just like practically everything Marsha Blackburn says.
Why in the world doesn't the church just sell the trademark to Adidas, for, say, 10 grand? That's way more than they'll ever make unless they've got a 1000 year plan for return-on-investment. The trustees of the church should really question how the leadership is spending church -- i.e. charitable -- resources.
...and basically says that there's no need for the FCC at all.
Most of the original motivations for having an FCC have gone away. Telecommunications network providers and ISPs are rarely, if ever, monopolies.
His blog post: http://www.techpolicydaily.com/communications/do-we-need-the-fcc/#sthash.sX3GmJDZ.dpuf
Pardoning Snowden would require principle and spine, both things Obama has sorely been lacking in.
Just wait until Comcast gets my Customer Home Connection Access Fee, a real bargain I know they'll appreciate at only $99.95 a month.
Found Trump's first FCC nominee!
Great piece, but shouldn't you at least link the Intercept article you're quoting from, though?
Here's a link to the piece, in case anyone's Google is broken:
One of his colleagues, Susan Hennessey, more or less says it's no big deal, all the robust legal and procedural will stop him if he tries. She must be new to government.
No doubt about it. Too bad American conservative Christians don't do that. Instead of helping the poor and other very Jesus-y things, they want to persecute others by pressing their religious laws into law.
You're either trolling or don't understand what you've been reading here for years. The subject matter Techdirt covers is inherently about politics. Patents, copyright, surveillance, privacy, security, etc., etc. -- all politics.
As for the poor maligned American "Christian," who seems to consider it his moral duty to force others to live according to his narrow beliefs, consideration of that subject would only lead to being blinded for a couple of weeks while I wait for my eyes to roll forward again.
I'm absolutely no fan of Comey's, but just look at the way FBI agents are leaking to the press about who the emails are supposedly between and even how many there might be. There was no chance he could have held this off even if it would have been the right thing to do (which I'm not convinced it would have been).
I'd install my own pole (so to speak) if it would help get my Google Fiber installation moving faster. I dream of how sweet that day will be when I finally get to kick Comcast to the curb.

DALLAS — Six days after one of his key offensive players was arrested for allegedly intimidating a witness to a murder case, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said Sunday that he couldn't really say much about the situation.
"We are fully aware of all proceedings involving Wendell Smallwood and will continue to monitor the situation. To protect the integrity of the criminal proceedings in Delaware, including the state's case against the unrelated defendant, we cannot comment further at this time," Holgorsen said in a statement released through the athletic department.
Smallwood, 20, was arrested by the WVU Police Department at the request of the Delaware state attorney general's office and the Wilmington Police Department, both of which were on campus Monday to first interview and ultimately arrest Smallwood. Smallwood remained in the North Central Regional Jail in Doddridge County without bond until his extradition paperwork was processed and he was returned Thursday to Wilmington, Delaware.
He was arraigned Friday by Justice of the Peace Court 20 and released on a secured $40,000 bond before returning to West Virginia. He's charged with an act of intimidation, a class G felony punishable by up to two years in prison.
"Additional information will be available at the conclusion of all proceedings," Holgorsen wrote. "As a team, we will continue to prepare for the 2014 football season and look forward to the start of camp on July 31."
Authorities allege Smallwood, a 5-foot-11, 200-pound sophomore positioned for a significant role as a running back and receiver this season, made repeated attempts to have a witness to a 2012 murder recant a statement that implicated Smallwood's acquaintance, who is charged with first-degree murder.
The alleged acts happened in March and May of 2013. Smallwood enrolled at WVU in January 2013.
Court documents say Smallwood was recorded on at least four prison phone calls last year that support the police department's claim Smallwood "called to try to get a witness to come and make a false statement to police recanting previous statements." The conversations with an unnamed inmate believed to be Zakee Lloyd, who is facing trial for a 2012 murder, were recorded after authorities learned a witnesses' life had been threatened.
The recordings, apparently in reference to a woman who is a state witness, reveal Smallwood saying he "almost got her beat up." Two months later, the inmate asked Smallwood if anything had developed with the witness. Smallwood said she had changed her phone number, but that he found out where she was working and that someone was looking for her.
"Tell her to go to the police station and tell her we never see her," the inmate said on the recording.
"I'm going to tell her she's going to have to go, man," Smallwood is recorded replying.
