Thus, both this assumption & the understanding, 'I am,' occur to him.
Bhikkhu Bodhi wrote:"As 'I am' has not vanished, there takes place a descent of the five faculties --- of the eye faculty, the ear faculty, the nose faculty, the tongue faculty, the body faculty."
I take this terse sentence to be describing the rebirth process contingent on the persistence of the delusion of personal selfhood. Elsewhere "descent" (avakkanti) --- of conciousness, or of name-and-form indicates the commencement of a new existence (as at SN12:39, SN12:58, SN12:59).
Spk: When there is this group of defilements , there is the production of the five faculties conditioned by defilements and kamma.
Bhikkhu Bodhi wrote:"When the uninstructed worldling is contacted by a feeling born of ignorance-contact, 'I am' occurs to him; 'I am this' occurs to him; 'I will be' and 'I will not be', and 'I will consist of form' and 'I will be formless', and 'I will be percipient' and 'I will be nonpercipient' and 'I will be neither percipient nor nonpercipient' --- these occur to him."
I interpret this whole passage as a demonstration of ho the new kammically active phase of existence commences through the renewal of conceiving in terms of the notion "I am" and speculative views of selfhood. Spk idenfifies "mind" (mano) iwth the kamma-mind (kammamano) and "mental phenomena" (dhamma) with its objects, or the former as teh bhavanga and adverting conciousness. Ignorance-contact (avijjasamphassa) is the contact associated with ignorance (avijjasampayuttaphassa).
Ignorance is the most fundamental condition underlying this process, and when this is activated by feeling it gives rise to the notion "I am" (a manifestation of craving and conceit). The idea "I am this" arises subsequently, when the vacuous "I" is given content by being identified with one or other of the five aggregates. Finally, full eternalist and annihilationist views originate when the imagined self is held either to survive death, or to undergo destruction at death.
Bhikkhu Bodhi wrote:This passage thus presents us with an alternative version of dependent origination, where the "way of regarding things" and the notion "I am" belong to the causally active side of the past existence; the five faculties to the resultant side of the present existence; and the recurrence of the notion "I am" to the causal side of the present existence. This will in turn generate renewed existence in the future.
"Brahmin, these five faculties have different domains, different resorts, not experiencing each other's resort and domain --- they take recourse in the mind and the mind experiences their resort and domain."
Manopatisaranam mano ca nesam gocaravisayam paccanubhoti.
Spk explains mano here as the mind-door javana, which experiences the object by way of lust, hatred, or delusion. In my view, this introduces and unnecessary ethical slant on the passage, which I take to be primarily epistemic in import. I interpret the sentence simply to mean that mind-conciousness has access to the data provided by the five types of sense conciousness, which it collates, categorizes, and interprets with its own stock-in-trade, namely concepts.

mikenz66 wrote:1. The too famous "discovery" of Descartes, Cogito, ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am"), comes precisely under this heading. Descartes identified himself with, in Buddhist terms, vicaara "discursive thought," which belongs to the "mental formations" group (sankhaarakkhandha). When Goethe (whom many would consider a greater thinker than Descartes) said "Gefühl ist alles" ("Feeling is everything"), it might be thought that (at that moment) he was identifying himself with the "feeling" group (vedanaakhandha). But these are sensations, physical and mental, and what Goethe meant corresponds more probably to piiti (SN 12.23, n. 4 http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn12/sn12.023x.wlsh.html#fn-4), which also belongs to the mental formations.
The simple meaning of the phrase is that if someone wonders whether or not they exist, that is, in and of itself, proof that they do exist (because, at the very least, there is an "I" who does the thinking).[2] It forms the bedrock for all knowledge, because, while all things can be questioned as to whether they are from the realm of reality or from some figment of imagination (a dream, etc), the very act of doubting one's own existence serves as proof of the reality of one's own existence.
A common mistake is that people take the statement as proof that they, as a human person, exist. However, it is a severely limited conclusion that does nothing to prove that one's own body exists, let alone anything else that is perceived in the physical universe. It only proves that one's mind exists (that part of an individual that observes oneself doing the doubting). It does not rule out other possibilities, such as waking up to find oneself to be a butterfly who had dreamed of having lived a human life.

I believe Walshe's point is that both Descartes and the person who wrote the Wikipedia article are, from the point of view of the Buddha, mistaken...
Individual wrote:You're wrong, but you're not going to waste my time or ruin my good mood. Don't use the Buddha's point-of-view as a shield to defend your own interpretations.
The Buddha wrote:"Here, monks, the uninstructed worldling... regards body as the self, the self as having body, body as being in the self, or the self as being in the body. [Similarly with 'feelings,' 'perceptions,' 'mental formations,' 'consciousness.'] So this way of regarding arises: it occurs to him to think 'I am.'

Household animals that no longer have homes are often brought to animal shelters. Animal shelters are safe places to bring animals that are abandoned or lost. Many shelters will also take in animals that are sick or injured. In some areas of the U.S., humane societies will also provide shelter for animals. Shelters often serve as pet adoption centers. Animal shelters are also open to household pets taken from owners who can no longer care for them, those who have mistreated them, or those who have violated animal welfare laws.
Shelters provide animal care, rescue, and animal control. They assist with adopting dogs, cats, and other pets. They also may offer services like spaying or neutering. Shelters may offer adoption. Local and county governments fund some dog pounds and animal shelters, while volunteers and donations provide further support.

Porcelain Barn Lights have been part of American barn lighting culture since the early 1930's. We are proud to continue this tradition through our unique range of vintage-inspired porcelain light fixtures. Our American-Made lighting products are made from raw steel to provide the very best quality that money can buy.
Choose from our Goodrich™ Goosenecks, Ivanhoe™ Pendant Lights and Benjamin™ Stem Mounts. Porcelain enamel finish provides weatherproof protection and a concentrated intensity of light over a large area. All of our Porcelain Enamel Lights come complete with your choice of a gooseneck arm, stem mount, or cord hung option.
Our vintage light fixtures, such as the Goodrich™ Porcelain Barn Light, pay homage to the original light manufacturer, Goodrich™, who popularized the first gooseneck barn lights. From America's industrial era of the 1930's through to the pre-atomic era of the 1950's, Gooseneck lights were (and still are) the choice lighting style for warehouse lighting across the nation.
Our new Ivanhoe™ cord hung pendants allows the beauty of porcelain enamel to be brought inside your home. Because of their durability, traditional porcelain enamel lighting was used in exterior applications or exclusively in commercial and industrial areas. Cord hung pendants are an idea way to incorporate vintage lighting above kitchen islands, dining rooms, or entry ways. Multiple colors of authentic cotton twist cords are available on several porcelain enamel shades including the Ivanhoe™ Dino and Ivanhoe™ Sinclair pendants. For exterior areas of the home, such as the front porch, consider an Ivanhoe™ Bomber, Sky Chief, or Aero shade which has an approved exterior rated cord.
Stem mounting a Porcelain Enamel Barn Light is a great way to mount a pendant inside, or out. Stem mounting pendants allows for added durability when used in outdoor or commercial applications. Whether used inside the home or within outdoor areas, porcelain enamel gives our lights the durability needed in any setting.

If you're wondering who the rockin' folks are on the cover of this year's Best Of Santa Fe, you clearly need to get out more. Stephanie Hatfield & Hot Mess (Jason Aspeslet, Mathiew McClinton and Bill Palmer) won over the city this year—and triumphed with readers in the Best New Band category.
Of course, the "new" categories in Best Of are, in some ways, the most exciting—be sure to check out which eatery emerged as Best New Restaurant, as well as numerous new categories—and winners—in Santa Fe's thriving music community.
Of course, we like the oldies, as well—but even there you'll find some upsets (Best Breakfast Burrito, anyone?). And speaking of upsets, it seems our Best Of competition isn't the only political race in which every vote counts—the correlation between Gov. Bill Richardson's slide to second place for Best Politician and readers' pick for Best Political Scandal seems telling.
The massive participation in this year's contest made for some interesting results. And the huge turnout for last year's Best Of party convinced us to, once again, invite the whole city, not just the winners, to come and celebrate. Please join us from 6 to 9 pm tonight, Wednesday, July 22, at Fusion, 135 W. Palace Ave. (the party will include music by this year's Best DJ, Automatic).
As always, the winners were picked entirely by you, the readers, who voted online in force earlier this spring. Of course, we did throw in a few of our own picks for Best Stuff—you'll find those at the end.
—Julia Goldberg

|I loved this Roasted Butternut Squash with Lemon, Thyme, and Parmesan.
Thyme happens to be the herb I used last year for the Doubly Delish edition of Weekend Herb Blogging. Time flies, and next week we'll be celebrating three years of blogging about herbs and plants. Check back on Monday, October 27, to hear about the amazing prizes that three lucky people will win just by telling their favorite herb, vegetable, or fruit in a comment. For the anniversary event, we'll be asking for entries featuring your favorite herb, vegetable, or fruit of 2008. I'll also be making a big announcement about the future of Weekend Herb Blogging, so don't miss it.
Read my step-by-step instructions for how to peel and cut up a butternut squash if you haven't done it. Peel the squash, then cut into pieces that are about an inch square. Put squash cubes into a bowl and toss with olive oil, lemon juice, thyme mixture.
Roasted Butternut Squash with Lemon, Thyme, and Parmesan
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into pieces about 1 inch square (about 6 cups squash cubes)
2 T fresh thyme leaves (or use 1 T dried thyme)
2 T olive oil (or slightly less if desired)
2 tsp. fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 T freshly grated parmesan cheese
Peel squash and cut into cubes about 1 inch square. Put squash into plastic bowl, then toss with the olive oil, lemon juice, thyme mixture. Arrange squash squash in a single layer on roasting pan.
Roast squash about 45 minutes, turning a couple of times. Squash is done when edges are starting to brown and carmelize and all pieces are soft. Remove squash from oven. Wipe out the plastic bowl you used earlier with a paper towel, then put squash cubes into bowl and toss gently with the Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.

They're in black and white, which was once an economical production medium. They're shot on 35mm film. Most were made on a strict six-day schedule. They were shot almost entirely at Universal City. The series started out as a half hour show in 1955, and then switched to an hour format in 1962, ending its run in 1965. Each episode was shot like a feature film, in "single camera" format, rather than in sitcom format, and production values — especially story lines and guest stars — to say nothing of the physical execution of each segment were exceptionally high.
As an anthology series, there were no continuing characters; it was an entirely new show every week. Hitchcock's own input into the series was minimal, but he directed a few episodes of the series, and watching the Universal TV crew work, he was inspired by their speed and efficiency to shoot his groundbreaking film Psycho there, breaking away from the slower crews at Paramount, where he had spent the 1950s. All in all, 363 episodes were shot over a ten year period.
An enormous number of exceptionally talented actors, writers and directors contributed to the series, including actors Ed Asner, Mary Astor, Roscoe Ates, Gene Barry, Ed Begley, Charles Bronson, Edgar Buchanan, John Cassavetes, Jack Cassidy, Dabney Coleman, Joseph Cotten, Bob Crane, Hume Cronyn, Robert Culp, Bette Davis, Francis De Sales, Bruce Dern, Brandon De Wilde, Angie Dickinson, Diana Dors, Robert Duvall, Peter Falk, John Forsythe, Anne Francis, Edmund Gwenn, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Charles Herbert, Lou Jacobi, Joyce Jameson, Carolyn Jones, Don Keefer, Brian Keith, Jack Klugman, Peter Lawford, Christopher Lee, Cloris Leachman, Peter Lorre, Dayton Lummis, E. G. Marshall, Walter Matthau, Darren McGavin, John McGiver, Lee Majors, Steve McQueen, Tyler McVey, Joyce Meadows, Vera Miles, Vic Morrow, Robert Newton, George Peppard, James Philbrook, Sydney Pollack, Judson Pratt, Vincent Price, Robert Redford, Burt Reynolds, William Shatner, Henry Silva, Barbara Steele, Jan Sterling, Dean Stockwell, Jessica Tandy, Dick Van Dyke, Richard Waring, Dennis Weaver, Joanne Woodward, Fay Wray, and Keenan Wynn.
It's an elegant, intelligent, well designed series, the like of which we will never see on television again. Black and white has vanished as a production medium, along with the artistic values that went with it. Film has also vanished, leaving everything to be shot with a slick, artificial digital sheen. The violence quotient has been upped so that gruesome rapes and murders are now commonplace on shows such as Law and Order SVU and the CSI series; it seems that plot, acting, and nuance have been left behind. Let's raise a glass, then, to The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, one of the most innovative and artistically ambitious television series ever produced — on a budget, on a schedule, on an assembly line, even — but with style, elegance, and wit, down to Hitchcock's droll introductions and commercial break announcements, which the director performed himself.

Distribution Information
Fund Distributions
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid either quarterly or monthly, depending on the Fund. For Funds on a quarterly dividend payment cycle, the dividend ex-date is generally the third Friday of each March, June, September and December, payable the last business day of the month. For Funds on a monthly dividend payment cycle, the dividend ex-date is generally the 15th of each month, payable the last business day of the month.
The fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. Prior to paying a distribution of net investment income, the fund has the ability to invest cash generated from investment income into additional securities or money market instruments.
Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole shares of the fund only if the broker through whom you purchased shares makes such option available. Shareholders of the fund may contact their broker to determine the availability and costs of the service and the details of participation. Brokers may require shareholders to adhere to specific procedures and timetables. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and realized gains will be automatically reinvested in additional whole shares of the fund purchased in the secondary market.Taxes on Distributions
In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in the Fund. Dividends paid out of the Fund's income and net short-term gains, if any, are taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of net long-term capital gains, if any, in excess of net short-term capital losses are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held the Shares. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements.
Under the provisions of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (the "2003 Tax Act"), long-term capital gains tax rates have generally been reduced for individuals to a maximum of 15% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2009. In addition, some ordinary dividends declared and paid by the Fund to individual shareholders may qualify for taxation at the lower reduced tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided that holding period and other requirements are met by the Fund and the shareholder.
Distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your basis in the Shares, and as capital gain thereafter. A distribution will reduce the Fund's net asset value per Share and may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gain even though, from an investment standpoint, the distribution may constitute a return of capital.
By law, the Fund must withhold a percentage of your distributions and proceeds if you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number. The backup withholding rate is currently 28%.

I didn't see this posted yet. I don't think Philly is a better team but for everyone else the arguement can be made that they are. I hope the Pacers prove them wrong but the concept that our bench improved is just false. We need to improve from within if we're going to move forward this season.
How can they not start out peering down at 29 other teams? Even if the Heat do launch slowly with Wade and Ray Ray healing, it's not just our rule about defending champions that matters. Also: Mr. James returns as undisputed King of his sport for the first time ever. 2
Los Angeles
Maybe you can't win anything in the summertime. What you can do, though, is leapfrog everyone else in Power Rankdom apart from the defending champs when you trade for Dwight and Nash without surrendering Pau, which still hasn't fully sunk in even after writing that sentence dozens of times. 3
Oklahoma City
Am I, like so many out there, overlooking the fact that the Lakers still have lots of chemistry wrinkles to work out and health questions to answer? Guilty. Thing is, OKC convenes for camp amid plenty of its own uncertainty thanks to Harden's contract situation, Perk's health and that Finals flameout. 4
San Antonio
Timmy, Manu and Tony don't get any easier to read with age. Who could have predicted the 20 games in a row they won or the four straight Ls to OKC after that brush with invincibility? Want to write the Spurs off after a summer of precious little change? Go for it. We'll pass. 5
Los Angeles
Last season of bliss before CP3 leaves Blake and Clipperland behind? Or the start of something truly special that makes L.A. feel like Manchester with two true powerhouse teams in the same neighborhood? Like it or not, Staples Center is the NBA's two-team epicenter for juicy storylines. For now. 6
Whether or not you agree with Rondo's claim that the Celts are still on the short list of five teams that can win it all, there's no denying they'll have a bench this time with JET Terry, Courtney Lee, Jeff Green and Darko arriving to succeed the departed Ray Allen and Stiemsma. 7
Find myself drawn to the Sixers as much as anyone in the East chasing Miami. Time will tell if I'm assuming too much about Bynum's impact, but Philly automatically skyrockets here for now in the wake of a trade that landed an undeniable franchise center and got Dwight out of the East. 8
Indy's splashiest acquisition was Donnie Walsh. Nothing wrong with that -- not when the Pacers also re-signed Hibbert and George Hill -- but that means Frank Vogel is clearly dependent on improvement from within to maintain their spot in the East's elite. Not so simple. 9
The Nuggets, with Iguodala, are right there with Memphis and Dallas in the West's steel-cage battle for the bottom four playoff seeds. Yet you can't shake the suspicion that, even if Iggy and JaVale McGee have big years, they'll find out first-hand what sort of monster they helped L.A. assemble. 10
After missing out on D-Will, Dallas never dreamed it could offer only one-year deals to the rest of the free-agent pack and still come away with Mayo, Kaman, Brand and Collison. The problem? The West is suddenly super deep again. And now Dallas has to score in Free Agency 2013.

Should I start Romo or Dalton this week at QB? Romo has played like complete crap the last two weeks (cost me a W last week) and will be home against Chicago. It's hard to predict whether he will play like crap again, or if he'll rise up to the Monday night occasion and finally put together a good fantasy performance. Dalton OTOH has been an absolute fantasy monster these last two weeks and is on the road against Jacksonville. He has a better matchup than Romo, but will he finally come back to earth?
I hate decisions like this because it always seems like I make the wrong one. I bet that on Tuesday, I'll be kicking myself and saying that I would have won my matchup if only I would have started the other QB instead.

Hearts were sinking and heads were spinning outside the state capitol that overcast afternoon last February.
Equality New Mexico's lead lobbyist Linda Siegle stood just outside the east exit of the Roundhouse and nervously adjusted her glasses. With exhausted melancholy, she asked for the final vote on Senate Bill 12, "The Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act," which would have granted same-sex couples the same benefits and protections as married heterosexual partners under state law.
Before the session, Siegle had been optimistic, but not wholly confident, this would be the year the bill finally passed. The House was a sure thing, the progressive Democrat coalition in the Senate had grown and Gov. Bill Richardson indicated he was ready to sign the legislation.
None of that was enough.
"Twenty-five to 17," Santa Fe City Councilor Patti Bushee answered Siegle without making eye contact, adding that Sen. Carlos Cisneros, D-Los Alamos, had switched his vote to no at the last minute.
Siegle had spent the wee hours of the previous evening adjusting the bill with hopes that minor concessions would neutralize the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops' opposition, yet had spent the morning bracing for defeat. While supporters held out hope, Siegle was one of the few who knew, with certainty, the bill would fail.
What she didn't expect was the bill to fail by a larger margin than in years past. Hearing the news, Siegle ran her fingers over her mouth. Behind her stood Steve Loomis, a military veteran discharged for being gay, and Rachel Rosen, a lesbian who can't legally describe herself as a widow.
"The non-discrimination act, which we finally passed in 2003, took 12 years," Siegle told the press cameras and the two dozen or so people gathered. "Well, I don't know about you, but I don't want to work on this for 12 years…Remember what happened to you today because people in this building said you are not equal, you are not worthy, you don't deserve the same rights that many of them enjoy."
With many successes behind it, relationship recognition may be the New Mexico LGBT community's last great civil rights hurdle. Last February's defeat, once again, of a domestic partnership bill, is a reminder that the final stretch to full marriage equality won't be easy.
LGBT rights activists in New Mexico are also grappling with the same topsy-turvy national debate as everyone else. The gay community is caught in a dizzying one-step-forward/one-step-back shuffle as individual states and the Obama administration grant and revoke and promise and backpedal.
As Santa Fe prepares for its annual Pride festival (June 27 at the Railyard Plaza, with associated events scattered around town the entire week), many in the LGBT community wonder why New Mexico isn't keeping up with states such as Vermont, Massachusetts and even Iowa, which have passed laws or ruled in favor of marriage equality.
The fallout from the 2009 legislative session suggests gay-rights supporters can't simply blame the opposition: The community itself is fractured.
Critics are pointing fingers at the leadership of Equality New Mexico, an organization that has fought on the front lines for 15 years, but is now mired in debt and lacks an executive director. EQNM's failure during this year's session has prompted critics to question whether future political strategies—on everything from messaging to negotiations with the Catholic Church to the 2010 election cycle—need an overhaul.
"There's a lot of mistrust because so much is going on behind-the-scenes," Democratic blogger Barb Wold, a "dyed-in-the-wool" lesbian and outspoken critic of the current strategy, tells SFR. "I think the main problem is that we seem to be frozen in time. We've used the same approach over and over again…and year after year, we don't get it."
Earlier this month, EQNM called the LGBT community in for a summit at which these conflicts were aired heatedly and with a wide range of opinions. What emerged was a precarious consensus: More members of the community need to stand up and get involved, and EQNM must be prepared to let them participate.
"Everybody wants to be a piece of this," Mauro Montoya, a gay activist and former lawyer who was tapped to lead future meetings on strategy, tells SFR. "[EQNM] was treating people very arrogantly, like, 'We're the experts; you don't know what you're doing'…I think what we're going to do now is have another strategy from the bottom up. We'll keep the lobbyists, but they won't be directing this."
But some longtime activists are skeptical of these complaints. EQNM board member Todd McElroy characterizes critics as merely impatient.
"I guess in our fast-food culture, people expect to drive through and get it in a bag 15 minutes later," McElroy says. "That's just not the way it works."
The question is: What will?

The 70-something couple would not have stood out amid the shoppers at the Sanbusco Market Center, the upscale mall next to Pranzo Italian Grill, where the couple was about to sit down for lunch.
But this would not be a leisurely meal, like so many others that crisp May day.
Soon, the white-haired man was in the back of a patrol car, explaining himself to Santa Fe Police Department Officer Michelle Williams.
He still had food on his plate, according to Williams' report of his account, but his companion was in a hurry to leave. She had finished her martini and refused to eat. She was, he said, an alcoholic, much to his frustration.
He resented having to carry her purse because she was drunk. He resented having to walk her through the parking lot, where they began to argue over who had—or should have—the car keys. When she started cursing at him, he said, he lost his temper.
And not for the first time.
To a witness in the parking lot, it looked like he'd "clotheslined" his companion. He told Williams he'd swung the purse at her face. Either way, the woman fell to the ground, and passersby gathered to help her to her feet. Witnesses heard the man shout that he would "do away" with her, then kill himself.
The threat echoed one heard in dozens of domestic violence cases documented in Santa Fe over the last year. It was different in that the man shouting it was neither young nor poor.
Officer Williams arrived to find the couple's take-out containers strewn through the parking lot. The woman's face was bleeding and swollen. Her companion did not heed Williams' order to stand back, she wrote; instead, he "puffed up his chest, gritted his teeth, and moved toward me while he clenched his right fist and cocked his right arm back."
That move landed him in handcuffs. He spent a week in the Santa Fe County jail, charged with two counts of domestic violence and assault on a peace officer.
Prosecutors dropped that last charge. He pleaded guilty to domestic violence, and Santa Fe County Magistrate Sandy K Miera punished him with unsupervised probation, a $114 fine and a written apology to the victim. It seemed a light sentence, considering the woman's evident injuries, the dire tone of his threats and that this was not the first time he had been arrested for beating a woman close to him.
Would it have turned out differently had the man been of lesser means?

In just five short years Ella Yelich-O'Connor has gone from awkward 12-year-old competing on a school stage to superstar Lorde weighed down with Grammys.
It was clear even at that young age that she had what it took to make it big, as evidenced in a 2009 video of her performing that's recently surfaced—you can watch it right here on Popdust.
Lorde was caught on camera—along with her band Extreme, belting out a cover of Rainbow's Man on the Silver Mountain as they competed in the Intermediate Schools Battle of the Bands Finals.
Although the video isn't the best quality her stage presence still manages to shine through and it's definitely an impressive performance for a 12-year-old.
However, despite giving it her very best shot it appears Lorde hadn't quite hit her winning stride yet—the band placed third in the competition.

Reality Check
CMU grad student fits in with TBS's 'Nerds'January 24, 2014 7:53 PM
Nerds and hard-core scientists alike will dig season two of "King of the Nerds," which kicked off in geeky fashion Thursday on TBS.
"You can't make a light saber without an engineer," said Chris Jackson, who is, of course, an engineer. He raps, using elements of the periodic table.
Pittsburgh is represented by Katie Correll, a mechanical engineer whose skill set includes puppetry and robotics. Ms. Correll is getting her master's in entertainment technology through Carnegie Mellon University.
Much of the amusing first hour was spent getting the nerds to know each other and then choosing sides. THAT turned out to be a twisty process, but finally everyone earned their gold or purple cloaks and got ready for the first trivia challenge.
Although Ms. Correll's team lost, she wasn't put up for elimination. Instead, a "Japanophile" named Kelsey -- whom one teammate accurately referred to as "Luna Lovegood" -- lost a Quidditch challenge and flew off home.
• Crop circles and alien messages were part of the theme on "Face Off" (Syfy, Tuesdays), as, apparently, are the words "bold" and "extreme."
We know this because that's how Syfy described season six in the premiere. Contestants used them at least twice during the hourlong episode; there must have been a memo.
So, do the creations live up to the hype? It was mostly a good effort for everyone this time around with no obvious stinkers. Tom Savini program grads Daran Holt and Tanner White teamed up to create an icy-looking creature that was almost, but not quite, the top look of the day.
The other grads, Tess Laeh and Tyler Green, also impressed.
Next week: There will be dragons.

You know something's arrived as an "issue" of substance when it has its own Top Ten list. With all the opponents—irrational and otherwise—that the science of genetic engineering has generated, the only question about a Top Ten Reasons to Hate Biotech is this:
What took you so long?
Well, thanks to the Food Consumer group (www.foodconsumer.org), we now have that list. Let's explore it, shall we, and along the way, helpfully point out the group's ignorance, bias and overall wrongheadedness.
In the spirit of dialogue, of course.
Here are their Top Ten Reasons Why We Don't Need GM Foods:
10). GM crops won't solve the food crisis. Probably not—at least all by themselves. To date, genetic engineering has been deployed primarily to develop crops that can withstand the application of broad-spectrum herbicides, which significantly simplifies cultivation and weed control. It also has the side-effect of enabling no-till farming, which helps the soil preserves moisture from rainfall, prevents erosion, dramatically reduces nutrient and pesticide pollution in rivers and waterways and helps minimize the consumption of fuel, since plowing is greatly reduced. So, yes—genetic engineering's no panacea, but its full potential has yet to be tapped.
9). GM crops do not increase yield potential. Again, give the science a break. Genetic engineering is in its infancy, and since so much of the low-hanging fruit (pardon the pun) in food production has already been captured, incremental gains in crop yields and farm productivity have become harder and harder to achieve. But when really smart people, like the ones working on food security for the Gates Foundation, start investing in biotech as a pathway we need to travel if we hope to feed another two billion people in the next couple decades,
8). GM crops increase pesticide use. True and not true. Some studies have indicated that in terms of "pounds on the ground," the widespread adoption of GM crops (ie, Roundup-Ready) has resulted in a slight (somewhere around 7%) increase in the use of herbicides. But Round –up is a relatively benign chemical; it readily biodegrades and has far less adverse effects, environmentally speaking, than many alternatives. And with cotton in particular, genetically engineered Bt cotton crops have dramatically reduced the use of some very harsh and ecologically detrimental pesticides. The bottom line is that biotech has been developed for other ends; it's overall impact on chemical use is close to neutral.
7). There are better ways to feed the world. I don't mean to be snarky, but: Such as? Let's hear them, and I'm not referring to the usual geo-political rant about "better distribution of food among haves and have-nots," or "if we'd just stop eating meat, all that corn could feed the entire developing world." Such statements dismiss economic realities and ignore the most promising way to leverage food security: Ramping up food production across Africa. If farming in the areas of Africa—and we're not talking about mowing down rainforests or somehow irrigating the Sahara Desert—where agriculture is prominent could even be approach North America productivity, the world's food crisis would be well on the way to being solved. And one way to shortcut that process is biotech crops that can survive in semi-arid climates and produce in poor soils.
6). Other farm technologies are more successful. Here, the Food Consumer people reference "Integrated Pest Management and organic methods (?) of controlling pests" as alternatives to pesticide use.
5). GM foods have not been shown to be safe to eat. Yeah, we need another 20 years of people consuming genetically modified corn, soy and other crops by the trainload before we can have any assurance that these foods aren't going to cause the people who eat them to drop dead on the spot. Please.
4). People don't want GM foods, so they're hidden in animal foods. You could make the argument that most of the ingredients are "hidden" in animal foods, although the labeling's right there if you care to check out Fluffy or Fido's bag of kibbles. As for feeding livestock, since virtually everyone raising food animals wants them to be healthy and productive, if the feed rations fed to cattle, pigs and chickens actually were repositories for "dumping" GMO ingredients—and they adversely affected the livestock that consumed them—the suppliers of such chow would be out of business overnight. Farmers and producers aren't stupid. They buy feed to grow their animals, and if the formulations aren't working, they switch to something else. Period.
3). GM crops are a long-term economic disaster for farmers. Get serious. Farmers don't make these decisions on which sees to buy or which crops to grow at the expense of their farmland. They not about to willfully destroy the source of their livelihood, and liely that of their children and generations to come. Let's give them minimal credit for being smart enough to make economic decisions without the "input" of anti-GMO activists who've never so much as harvested an ear of corn in their lives.
2). GM and non-GM cannot co-exist. Maybe not. And if so, that's not an argument for condemning biotech. It might be a reason to abandon conventional farming. Anyway, organic certification—which is what this argument is really about—is based on production methods, not on the purity of the crops, so it's a moot point.
1). We can't trust GM companies. You knew they'd save this one 'til last. If you peel back all the pseudo-science and political ideology, the beating heart of anti-GM opposition is simply fear and loathing of big corporations—specifically Monsanto. They're all about profit, critics complain, to which one is tempted to reply, "What's your point?" Monsanto's seeming dominance of the seed market is not because they can hold metaphorical guns to farmers' heads, but because they offer growers the opportunity to capture better margins through greater efficiencies and more predictable quality.
That's not a cause for criticism, it's what the rest of us like to call free enterprise.
Anti-GMO haters ought to look into it sometime.

I am about to buy an iPOD and wondered if anyone had any experience of the device and any feedback? Everything i have read and heard is very positive so i think it's the right choice. At sales approaching 140 per hour from Apple it must be doing something right - or it is the biggest marketing hoodwink in a while!
very few places have deals as such, as apple regulates prices so much.
your best bet is to buy from an authorised reseller or direct from apple, as you get a solid warranty. the apple online store is excellent, and now offers free laser engraving for ipods:
also, apple regularly offers refurb models (usually unsold demo or end of life products, around 20-30% off) from it's online store, but only after 10am on wednesday mornings. look to the right menu, and select 'refurbished store'.
otherwise, try microanvika: http://www.microanvika.co.uk/
you'll also notice that places such as Virgin and HMV are selling them now. pretty soon they'll be available anywhere - but again, with strictly regulated pricing.
Thanks for the feedback - i have ordered a 20gig ipod and ended up buying from macdiscounts.co.uk which were selling it for £277 which is cheaper than everywhere else. I nearly opted for Amazon as they had it at £289 but Mac have undercut them further which i though unusual for the manufacturer site..
What i am now after is a sports case so that i can use it while running....ideally one that straps to the arm? Anyone any suggestions where you could buy such a thing?
Hi, I had a palm pilot V a few years ago and updated to an ipaq h3850 about 2 years ago now i guess (?) brilliant device which i use constantly...synchs with outlook etc etc....i use it for spreadies (pocket excel) and word (pocket word) more than anything so in this respect i use it just like a filofax (how 80's!)
great devices and with Palms and Sony's for around £200 you can't go wrong...

Increasing HAART-Induced Immune Restoration With Cyclosporine

|HIV Infections
|Drug: Abacavir sulfate, Lamivudine and Zidovudine Drug: Cyclosporine Biological: Hepatitis A Vaccine (Inactivated) Drug: Efavirenz Biological: Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, Heptavalent Biological: Rabies Vaccine
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Augmenting the Magnitude of HAART-Induced Immune Restoration With the Use of Cyclosporine
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2006
The availability of HAART has substantially decreased the morbidity and mortality caused by HIV-1 infection. There is clinical and laboratory evidence suggesting that treatment of HIV-1 infection not only arrests the progressive immune deterioration caused by HIV-1, but also is associated with at least partial immune reconstitution. After starting HAART, most patients with chronic HIV-1 infection experience an increase in CD4 T-cells, but the magnitude of CD4 lymphocyte rise is highly variable. Patients who do not experience a substantial rise in circulating CD4 lymphocytes remain at risk for opportunistic infections. Strategies to enhance immune restoration in HIV-1 disease are needed. Studies have shown that immune restoration after HAART in patients with chronic HIV-1 infection is incomplete. There are, however, several potential methods that can be used that possibly may enhance the magnitude of CD4 lymphocyte rise induced by HAART. It is proposed that the lymphoid tissues, in which lymphocytes are trapped and activated to die, are a major site of immunopathology and cellular losses in HIV-infection. Interference with lymphocyte trapping and death in lymphoid tissues when cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant, is administered at the time of initiation of HAART may result in an enhancement of the magnitude of cellular restoration in patients who initiate HAART.
Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms:
Arm A: Weeks 1 to 2: abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine (3TC)/zidovudine (ZDV). Weeks 3 to 48: ABC/3TC/ZDV and efavirenz (EFV).
Arm B: Weeks 1 to 2: ABC/3TC/ZDV and cyclosporine. Weeks 3 to 48: ABC/3TC/ZDV and EFV.
Patients in both arms receive the following immunizations: Weeks 8 and 12: Hepatitis A vaccine inactivated and rabies vaccine.
Week 16: Rabies vaccine. To ascertain whether the augmentation in the rise in CD4 lymphocytes is sustained, the number of circulating CD4 lymphocytes 48 weeks after starting therapy is compared. To examine the functional significance of the cellular increases, the ability of patients to respond to immunization with recall and neoantigens are compared between the cyclosporine plus HAART arm and the HAART alone arm.
Substudy A5139: A 2-week substudy designed to explore the mechanisms of first-phase cellular restoration is performed. Patients undergo 4 lymph node aspirates. Lymphocytes are analyzed by the use of flow cytometry and correlated with findings in the main study. There is no limit on patient enrollment. Patients register to the substudy immediately after randomizing to the main study.

Ship Weight:0.57 South of France - French Milled Bar Soap Orange Ginger - 8.8 oz. The South of France French Milled traditional soap line is 100% vegetable based and contains soothing olive oil and moisturizing Shea butter in a long lasting 8.8 oz. bar. South of France Bar soap is infused with natural fragrances and essential oils, and are rich lathering, cruelty-free bars produced using a traditional recipe from Provence. Colored with Natural Mineral and Vegetable Pigments. Tantalize your senses and soothe your skin with South of France's luxurious, moisturizing soap, nourish and feed your skin. South of France Products are: EDTA Free Paraben Free Phthalate Free Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate Free Cruelty Free: contains no animal by-products and not tested on animals South of France Frequently Asked Questions What does "French Milled" mean?French Milled soap is milled (refined) three times, which concentrates the natural vegetable oils. This process results in a long-lasting bar that disintegrates far more slowly than other soaps. Triple French Milled bars are characteristically heavier, denser, wear away more slowly and produce richer, thicker foam than regular bar soaps. Sometimes "French Milled" is referred to as "hard milled". This is the traditional soap-making method which has been practiced in Southern France for centuries. What is Vegetable Glycerin and why do I want it in my soap?Vegetable Glycerin is a by-product of the soap-making process. It's a natural humectant, which means it attracts moisture from the environment to its surface. Glycerin's most common function in beauty products is to prevent soaps, creams and makeup from over-drying. South of France soaps are made with only the most pure vegetable ingredients: olive, palm and coconut oil. Because Vegetable Glycerin is a valuable commodity to the health and beauty industry as an additive in lotions and cosmetics, many soap manufacturers sell the glycerin that results from their soap-making process to other companies. South of France retains this important ingredient and adds it back into the soap. The resulting bars are excellent for dry skin, as the Vegetable Glycerin content helps hold moisture in the outer layers of the skin. What are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Sodium Tallowate?Sodium Laureth Sulfate and its close relative, Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLSs) are inexpensive synthetic foaming agents and degreasers, widely used in commercial soap production. In industrial application, SLSs are mainly used as engine degreasers, floor cleaners and car wash soaps. SLSs are commonly used in clinical trials to intentionally irritate the skin, so that researchers can measure the rate at which skin heals. SLSs are linked to eye irritation, rashes on the skin and scalp, and other allergic reactions. South of France soaps do not contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate or Sodium Laurel Sulfate. SoF soaps produce rich, dense foam naturally and are gentle to the skin. Sodium Tallowate (or Tallow) is animal fat, and is found in many commercial soap products. It is inexpensive, plentiful and has been known to clog pores. South of France takes pride in the fact that their products never contain any animal by-products and are cruelty-free (never tested on animals). What is Shea Butter?Shea Butter is derived from the nut of the Karite Tree, which is native to the dry savannah belt of West Africa, from Senegal in the west to Sudan in the east, and onto the foothills of the Ethiopian highlands. Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer, possessing a high concentration of Vitamin E. It nourishes, rejuvenates, hydrates, conditions the skin and promotes cellular growth. Although the Shea Nut is essentially a tree nut, it does not belong to the list of commonly allergenic tree nuts; there are no reports of allergic reactions to Shea Nuts or products containing Shea Butter. Additionally Shea Butter has been proven useful in relieving dry skin and dermatitis. Are South of France soaps made in France?South of France Natural Body Care was created by a French-American transplant who had become frustrated by the lack of quality body care products on the American market in the early 1990s. His vision was to bring artesian soap-making practices to America, to prove that it is possible to make high-quality, fragrant, natural soaps affordably. Nearly 20 years later, South of France has established itself as an innovator and leader in the American body care industry. Althought the techniques used to create South of France body care products originated in the South of France, due to current economic pressures, all South of France products are now produced domestically, ensuring that South of France products are always available at a value. Are South of France soaps hypo-allergenic?South of France soaps are free from the following harsh chemical ingredients that are commonly used in the body care industry: Sodium Laureth Sulfate/Sodium Laurel Sulfate Tetrasodium EDTA Parabens Phthalates Animal By-Products Synthetic Colorants Synthetic Fragrances South of France cannot make the claim that our products are hypo-allergenic because they do use essential oils and blends of fragrance to impart scent to our products; often the ingredients used for fragrance can trigger specific allergic reactions. Typically, an individual who is sensitive to fragrance can work with his or her dermatologist or allergen specialist to isolate and identify which fragrance(s) trigger their specific reaction and thereby avoid using products with that particular fragrance. Because South of France products do not contain harsh chemical ingredients, often individuals who have sensitive skin or an allergy to one of the afore-listed harsh chemcial ingredients, find that South of France products provide relief from their allergies/sensitivities while other, synthetic products fail to do so. What is the shelf-life for South of France soaps?South of France soaps have a shelf life of at least 4 years, if not longer; however, the fragrances contained in their products will begin to fade after approximately two years. This is due to the fact that South of France products do not use harsh chemical preservatives, a decision that was made with your safety in mind. So, while your bar of Lavender soap (for example) may begin to lose its fragrance after two years, the bar itself will remain perfectly good & useable for up to four years. About South of FranceSouth of France Natural Body Care is obsessed with the little guy. They're so obsessed, in fact, that they'll guarantee they have a product that's perfect for you. All their products are crafted specifically to whisk you away from the ordinary — to break your routine and transform the time you spend in the shower into your daily luxurious getaway.

Discover which scent will become the cherished disruption of your daily grind. Proactive ProductsIt's difficult living in the age of science and technology, when information is abundant and scientists reveal daily how more and more of the products and substances with which we come into contact are detrimental to our health. South of France has made a commitment to be diligent and proactive in seeking out this information, understanding how it applies to their products, and reassessing ways to make their products better for you. For example, South of France products don't contain harmful chemicals such as EDTA, SLS, Parabens or Phthalates, even when many of their competitors continue to do so; another reason why the South of France experience is one that you can feel comfortable trusting. Do No HarmThe range of products under the South of France brand are Cruelty Free, which means they will never be tested on animals or contain animal by-products. Pride in Quality South of France utilizes premium ingredients, such as Shea Butter, Pure Vegetable Glycerin, 100% natural Vegetable Oils, Mineral Pigments & Essential Oils, as well as the traditional Triple-French-Milled soap-making technique – all in an effort to provide customers a product with a measure of quality that is simply superior to the competition. Sustainability South of France searches for ingredients and packaging that decreases the impact on the natural environment. South of France also maintains East and West Coast divisions, which increases distribution efficiency and significantly reduces its carbon footprint.

We can help you afford your degree
At Strayer University, we think cost should never be an obstacle to a valuable college degree. That's why we're out to make our degrees as affordable as they are important. For starters, every new undergraduate student will receive their own Graduation Fund to help them finish. As you successfully complete classes your affordable college fund automatically grows and can cover the tuition for up to ten of the final classes you need to graduate. Saving you up to $14,350 on tuition and further encouraging you all along the way. And when you factor in possible credit transfers, military benefits, and corporate discounts, you may be closer to earning your degree for less money than you think.
Financial Aid Options
Federal Financial Aid
The U.S. government offers a number of grant and loan programs to help eligible students finance their college and graduate school educations. They can help you pay for education expenses such as tuition and fees, textbooks, and living expenses while you're earning your degree.
Military Benefits
The U.S. government and Strayer University provide active-duty military and veterans with a number of opportunities to finance their educations. From scholarships for active-duty military and their spouses to veterans educational benefits, we're here to support those who serve.
Private Loans
Students may also apply for private educational loans, which are credit-based funds provided by outside, nonfederal lenders to pay for the difference between the cost of attendance and amounts received through loans and grants under federal financial aid programs, or other tuition assistance programs.
