Will the Catholic Church now issue a form position against vital organ donation?
New England Journal of Medicine: 'Brain death' is not death - organ donors are alive...
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help of all scientific means." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 5, 1976
LifeSiteNews.com reported on August 14, 2008:
In an article that is sure to rock the world of organ donation, the highly respected New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has backed up the objections of various pro-life groups, as well as some scientists and physicians, to certain types of organ donation which involve the removal of vital organs from patients believed to be dead. The problem, say the authors of the NEJM article, is that in many cases these patients may not be dead at all.
Key experts in the medical field have, since its inception, considered the 1968 invention of 'brain death' and the more recent criteria of 'cardiac death' as unsupportable criteria for true death. If it is true, however, that brain death and cardiac death are invalid as criteria for true death, it would make morally illicit vital organ donation, since such donation would in some cases result directly in the killing of the donor for the purpose of harvesting his organs.
The two authors of the article in the NEJM, both proponents of organ donation, argue that "as an ethical requirement for organ donation, the dead donor rule has required unnecessary and unsupportable revisions of the definition of death."
The article was co-authored by Dr. Robert D. Truog, a professor of medical ethics and anesthesia (pediatrics) in the Departments of Anesthesia and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School and the Division of Critical Care Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston and Dr. Franklin G. Miller, a faculty member in the Department of Bioethics, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.
The many cases hitting the media of patients pronounced 'brain dead' and living to tell their stories have already led the public to question the notion of 'brain death'. A recent case in France where a patient revived on the operating table as surgeons were about to remove his organs, is only the latest in a string of such events. (see: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jun/08061308.html )
Troug and Miller, after admitting that the scientific literature does not support the criteria for 'brain death' and 'cardiac death' as being real death, suggest instead that ethicists should simply remove the requirement for dead donors. "The uncomfortable conclusion to be drawn from this literature is that although it may be perfectly ethical to remove vital organs for transplantation from patients who satisfy the diagnostic criteria of brain death, the reason it is ethical cannot be that we are convinced they are really dead," they write.
Similarly they note that with 'cardiac death', "although it may be ethical to remove vital organs from these patients, we believe that the reason it is ethical cannot convincingly be that the donors are dead." Troug and Miller suggest that, rather than insisting on dead donors, "ethical requirements of organ donation" should be looked at "in terms of valid informed consent under the limited conditions of devastating neurologic injury."
However, the dead donor criteria is precisely the thing that most moral ethicists agree makes it ethical to remove vital organs for transplant. Doing otherwise would constitute actively killing a person via removal of their vital organs.
In his August 29, 2000 address to the 18th International Congress of the Transplantation Society, Pope John Paul II stressed: "vital organs which occur singly in the body can be removed only after death, that is from the body of someone who is certainly dead." He added: "This requirement is self-evident, since to act otherwise would mean intentionally to cause the death of the donor in disposing of his organs." (see the full address here: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/2000... )
Now that a prominent medical journal has come out and stated that brain death and cardiac death are invalid criteria for true death, some are hoping that the Catholic Church, which has not issued a formal position on vital organ donation, will officially come out in opposition to the practice - a practice which takes place in many Catholic hospitals throughout the world.
"The setting out of these facts should by all rights lead to a cessation of complete removal of any vital organ at Catholic hospitals", said Dr. John Shea, medical consultant to LifeSiteNews.com, who has written extensively on the subject of organ donation.

"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not rationalize sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! The Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will be made upon them to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1979

There are four sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance (extreme punishment):
1) Willful murder.
2) The sin of Sodom.
3) Oppression of the poor.
4) Defrauding the laborer of his wages.
Euthanasia, abortion, physician-assisted suicide, mercy killing, and homosexuality cry out to Heaven for extreme punishment on the United States.
Many people are ignorant of the Church's teaching regarding ordinary nursing care towards extremely ill or terminally ill patients. The Church states that "decisions about these patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted nutrition and hydration" and that for patients, even in an irreversible coma, "all care should be lavished on him, including feeding."
Pope John Paul II, March 20, 2004:
Bishop Henry
Gracida (interview
with Barbara Kralis)
"Some Catholics would argue that they are simply following their conscience and that the Church allows them to do so. They choose to forget that the Church says that one can only safely follow an INFORMED CONSCIENCE, i.e., a conscience that has been formed and illuminated by the teachings of the Church. The Church has given clear and explicit guidelines regarding the removal of a feeding tube through which 'nutrition and hydration' is supplied to a sick person.
"All persons who wish to remain in communion with the Catholic Church, to receive Holy Communion and the other Sacraments, must assent to the teachings of the Church in matters of faith and morals. [3]
"If a person supports euthanasia and assisted-suicide through the illicit rejection or removal of a feeding tube, they are not in communion with the Church. They have separated themselves from the Church."
Pontifical Council on Health Affairs, "Cor Unum," June 27, 1981:
"On the contrary, there remains the strict obligation to continue by all means those measures which are called 'minimal', which are intended normally and customarily for the maintenance of life (alimentation, blood transfusions, injections, etc.). To interrupt these minimal measures would be equivalent, in practice, to wishing to put an end to the life of the patient."
Pontifical Academy of Sciences, October 1985:
"If the patient is in a permanent coma, irreversible as far as it can be foreseen, treatment is not required, but all care should be lavished on him, including feeding... If treatment is of no benefit to the patient, it may be interrupted while continuing with the care of the patient."
Bishops, Nutrition and Hydration: Moral and Pastoral Reflections:
"Therefore we are gravely concerned about current attitudes and policy trends in our society that would too easily dismiss patients without apparent mental faculties as non-persons or as undeserving of human care and concern. In this climate, even legitimate moral arguments intended to have a careful and limited application can easily be misinterpreted, broadened, and abused by others to erode respect for the lives of some of our society's most helpless members. In light of these concerns, it is our considered judgment that while legitimate Catholic moral debate continues, decisions about these patients should be guided by a presumption in favor of medically-assisted nutrition and hydration."
Jersey Catholic Conference, January 22, 1987:
Another pertinent statement regarding the nutrition/hydration debate was given by the New Jersey Catholic Conference on January 22, 1987 in a friend-of-the-court brief entitled, "Providing Food and Fluids to Severely Brain Damaged Patients." This document was in reaction to the Nancy Ellen Jobes case pending at the time before the New Jersey Court:
"The [New Jersey Catholic] Conference maintains that nutrition and hydration, being basic to human life, are aspects of normal care, which are not excessively burdensome, that should always be provided to a patient. Nutrition and hydration are clearly distinguished from medical treatment. Medical treatment is aimed at curing a disease. Nutrition and hydration are directed at sustaining life. Medical treatment is therapeutic; nutrition and hydration are not, because they will not cure any disease. For that fundamental reason we insist that nutrition and hydration must always be maintained...." (Origins, January 22, 1987, p. 583)
"Who will be safe in your land, My children? You will one day grow old. Will you be a burden to your family, to be removed without heart? When you grow sick, you are ill, will you become too much of a burden to your society and they will remove you?" - Our Lady of the Roses, March 25, 1972
The awesome
Bayside Prophecies...
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:
"The time will come, My child, when those who are upon the earth will envy those have passed beyond the veil. Insanity, sin. Sin is insanity. The aged will be put to death, the crippled will be put to death, the mentally ill will be eliminated. The value of life will be gone. The value for life will be destroyed. Murderers! Sanctioned among those with the power to destroy the souls!" – Jesus, March 18, 1974
"No man shall murder--and it is murder, My children, when he shall give the excuse of saying an individual is no longer living or a part of the world because he has become emaciated, because he lives only with prayers and the help of all scientific means. The Eternal Father has placed a soul in that body. That body is the temple of the Holy Spirit! No man can know when that soul must return to the Eternal Father. No man shall hasten its exit from a body by murder! Euthanasia is murder! Shall you become a judge over the living and the dead?" - Our Lady, June 5, 1976
"And I repeat again to all clergy in My Son's House: you shall not rationalize sin. Abortion is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! Euthanasia is murder, and murder condemns you to hell without repentance! The Commandments of your God must be followed, and no changes will be made upon them to suit the basic fallen nature of mankind.
"The road to Heaven, My children, is a narrow one; too few stay upon it. For they are often carried away with the cares of the world, and the pleasures of the materialistic pursuits, and their gathering of money and prestige and power. For what? For the few short years allotted to each human upon earth. I ask you to ask yourself: is it worth it to lose your soul? Many will sell their souls to get to the head." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979
"The Eternal Father is much distressed by mankind's actions. They must not try to control the start and expiration of a life. Abortion is murder, My children, for you bring to an untimely end a mission of a soul. The Eternal Father breathes the spirit of life into the body at the moment of conception. No man shall destroy this body until it has completed its mission as directed by the Eternal Father, for any man who destroys the mission and the body is guilty of murder. Euthanasia, untimely death, My children, man has transgressed into a form of evil far worse than in the time of Noe or Sodom. Therefore, how great shall be the punishment to mankind!" - Our Lady, June 12, 1976
"My child and My children, the murders of the unborn will bring great chastisement upon the United States, Canada, and the nations of the world, that are now contributing not only to the delinquency of your children and the world's children, but are condoning murder and euthanasia. Euthanasia, My child and My children, is murder!
"We have been very patient. The Eternal Father has voiced His decision within My hearing, and I tell you, My children, your chastisement is just at hand." - Jesus, July 1, 1985
"I have, O woe to man, this saddest of stories: one of man against man, brother against brother, mother against daughter, father against son, in the battle of the spirits. Now, O poor aged and helpless, poor on earth, you will now be victims of your own. Doctors of the earth, what have you done to yourselves in your practices? You do not seek to preserve life, but to destroy." – Our Lady, March 18, 1973

protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water
throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your
children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will
repel the demons."
On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well.

text: Everyone harped on Jankovic for being number 1 without winning a slam well both Mauresmo and Clijsters were number 1 before winning a slam and neither won a slam until 2 years after they were ranked number 1 for the first time. Is it cause they were not year end number 1. Well Davenport was year end number 1 4 times and only 1 of those years did she actually win a slam. Though for the other 3 Davenport had allready won her slams but I am wondering I mean it was different as Clijisters had no less than a semi in slam that year and was winning titles left and right but Mauresmo like Jankovic had never been to a final and did not win so many titles. I just never remember either of them getting as bad a rap as Jankovic did. Am I wrong? If they did not why so?

text: Hello, I am just getting started with my new MasterBuilt 30" Electric smoker and looking for info to start my first smoke. The Northeast USA is a bit cold this time of year (30-40 degress F) so I am really not sure if this smoker will work or the affect on cooking times. Any cold weather smokers who have used this MasterBuilt electric smoker who can comment? I've got a couple of questions I am looking for suggestions too so if anyone would care to chime in with your experience with using such a smoker that would be greatly appreiciated. I plan to start by smoking (2) 3-4lb chickens. I've researched the brine I plan to use and believe the cooking time at 235 degress is about 4 hours. Sound about right? Based on what I could find, the smoker starts with a hand full of chips and after about an hour you add another hand full. From then on I believe it is a matter of watching the amount of smoke and figuring out if and when more chips are needed. I know cooking is an art and not a science but If anyone has experience with this electric smoker and could share their techniques I would appreciate that. I've signed up for the 5 day course but would like to get jump started Also, based on what I could find, it seems it is best to use dry chips in this smoker rather than soaking them - opinions? Thanks Jim

On Thursday, a robber walked into a Citibank in the Bay Area city of Belmont wearing a mask that looked very similar to the notorious "Geezer Bandit."
The mask seemed so similar that NBCSanDiego asked Special Agent Darrell Foxworth from the San Diego FBI office to examine the surveillance pictures.
"When you look at the physical description, the mannerisms and the way the robbery was conducted, there doesn't appear to be any linkage between that robbery and the Geezer Bandit series," Foxworth said.
The robber from the Citibank heist used a demand note and a handgun to threaten a teller.
He left the bank with an undisclosed amount of money.
The Geezer Bandit has hit 16 banks, 11 of them in San Diego County.
He last struck in December when he robbed a bank in San Luis Obispo but was nearly caught after a dye pack explosion.
Since then, he appears to have been lying low.
If anyone has any information about the Geezer Bandit that leads to a conviction, you could get a reward up to $20,000 if you call the FBI at (858) 565-1255 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

By Holly Frew, MedShare
Hospital staff discard supplies and used medical supplies in MedShare collection bins at their facility.
Eva Trepanier empties a large black garbage bag full of medical items on a table. After four years of volunteering at MedShare, she's still amazed at the amount of medical supplies collected each week from Atlanta-area hospitals.
Piled up on the table are items ranging from sterile syringes and sutures to surgical steel instruments and drapes. These are surplus medical supplies that would be destined for a landfill, but instead are recovered by MedShare, a nonprofit whose recovery efforts not only improve the environment, but also provide quality healthcare to developing countries across the globe.
Thousands of pounds of surplus medical supplies are recovered and brought to MedShare Distribution Centers in Atlanta and the San Francisco Bay Area. The supplies are sorted, packed in boxes and shipped in 40' containers to needy healthcare recipients around the world.
"In countries where medical care is limited, simple things like surgical gloves are washed and reused until there are holes in them, where in the U.S., supplies like that are in abundance. Instead of throwing those supplies away, MedShare allows hospitals to give those supplies to someone who desperately needs them," says A.B. Short, co-founder and CEO of MedShare.
Surplus medical supplies are recovered and shipped to recipients in countries where medical care is limited.
Under MedShare's Supply Recovery Program, hospitals donate their unused, unexpired surplus medical supplies and used equipment, thus providing them an environmentally-responsible way to discard these items. MedShare conducts onsite training to participating hospitals to educate them on acceptable donation items.
"Our partnership with MedShare is an important component of our go green initiative to reduce, reuse and recycle throughout our Sutter Health Sacramento Sierra Region facilities," says Tim Twomey, Regional Director for Supply Chain Services. "Safety regulations meant to protect our patients preclude our clinical staff from using many medical supplies, so we are delighted to partner with an organization like MedShare to make these supplies available in other countries."
Donation bins are provided for the hospitals to place in various departments, and then MedShare collects donated supplies on a weekly or sometimes bi-monthly basis. Each week, MedShare collects an average 2,000 lbs. of supplies from participating hospitals in Metro Atlanta and Northern California. They also accept donations from medical manufacturers and companies throughout the U.S.
Once the supplies arrive at MedShare, trained volunteers sort and repackage the supplies. The supplies are then entered into an online inventory database, where approved healthcare recipients across the globe can order their facilities' needed supplies.
|Trained volunteers at MedShare sort and repackage supplies to be distributed across the globe.
"Our use of an online inventory is what sets MedShare apart. We allow the recipient to custom order the medical supplies it needs in its shipment, rather than just shipping what we have. This further reduces any waste on the recipient side," says Short.
The efficiency of MedShare's operations is dependent upon volunteers to sort and repackage donated supplies before they are inventoried. Often participating hospitals, such as Emory Healthcare, will send medical staff to MedShare to volunteer for sorting sessions.
"In addition to donating products, we have a focused partnership to provide MedShare volunteer opportunities to our employers and their friends and families. This type of employee-family engagement gives our staff a way to make an impact on the environment and on public health," says David Pugh, associate administrator for support services at Emory Healthcare.
In MedShare's 10 years of operation, they have shipped over 500 forty-foot containers of medical supplies and equipment to 80 countries. This accounts for over one million cubic feet of landfill space saved. In 2008, their supply and recovery efforts saved approximately 535,000 lbs. of CO2, equal to almost 554,000 miles driven.

Medical surplus recovery services are not unique to MedShare, but they are regarded as one of the leading medical surplus recovery organizations. An alliance of similar nonprofits was spearheaded by MedShare in 2008 called the MedSurplus Network. The Network formed with members from four other medical surplus recovery organizations across the country, with membership growing.
"The purpose of the MedSurplus Network is to nurture a strong community of member organizations that encourage donations of surplus medical supplies and equipment for the purpose of improving healthcare around the world," says Short, who also serves as Chair of the MedSurplus Network.
The Network establishes best standards and practices for medical supply and equipment donations, and strives to educate hospitals and the public about health disparities around the world.

Awesome game, one problem.
I love this game. It's super fun and super addictive! I started playing it a couple months ago and I'd recommend it to anyone! Some things get pricey as you get to the higher levels and that slows progress but most games are like that. The only problem I have had with the game is Supercell's customer service. They are absolutely terrible. I just had an incident where I upgraded to a new phone and had problems loading my village to my new phone. First of all, they won't let you call them. It's email only and they take days to respond. Secondly, they told me they found my village and that I would need to answer 10 questions in order to verify. I answered the questions and thought 'great! I'll have my village back in no time!'. Man was I wrong. They told me that my answers were precise enough and that they wouldn't give me my village back. I went back and forth with them for days. With them continuously telling me that they can't help me and that I couldn't have my village back. I finally just created a new Apple ID in order to re-save my old village on my old device. It was all such a hassle and they didn't end up helping me at all. 10/10 would recommend the game but know going into it that the customer service is completely terrible.
The Economy is Crummy (THE GAME IS STILL GOOD THOUGH)
The main village:
The way this game is set up is so you either spend thousands of dollars to be really good or you spend none at all. I am a 4-year player (Depending on when you read this I guess😂; I got the game a year after it came out) and I have spent about 50 dollars or so on gems (the micro-transaction of the game). Do not make my mistake. Now at TH9, that 50 dollars has been consumed to nothingness. I forget how I used those gems but since I bought it early in my journey, I really feel like I wasted my money. And WALLS. The walls are ridiculously overpriced. 2 million per piece to get to level 10. For those of you who have played the game, 2 million per price is a dumb price.
The Builders Base:
The Builders Base was a fun concept for many reasons, but I just want to complain about the screwed up economy from Builder Hall 4 to 5. First of all, the price of the crusher (4-5) multiplied by 3. HOW RIDICULOUS!!! That is the biggest jump by far in prices (defenses). I don't want to rant to much though because the game makes up for the crummy economy. I have decided to rate this 4 stars. The game is great, but don't spend money unless your spending thousands because the economy is flawed and will consume it.
Great but...
This is an awesome game. I'm th10 in regular. 6 in builders. Haven't spent a dime on the game, which is why I had to give this game a 4*. The game is pay to play. Wanna be good, spend cash. Otherwise, you need to adapt. And to do so, you need at least 24-7 gameplay. Meaning, spend all you money to this game to be the best, or all of your free time, and time overall. And if you really want to compete for anything more than against your friend group, going into the top leaderboard, you need to use up both all of your time, and all of your money in this game.
And, since farming is gone, many players are gone also...
I've been playing since winter break the year this game came out. It's great and addictive. Sadly, it's also unfair.

Out now is the latest exciting Bernice Summerfield novel Filthy Lucre, which ties in to upcoming box set New Frontiers!
Money makes the world go round, as can a few too many strong drinks. But when Benny, in a fit of sobriety, agrees to do a pre-Advent favour for Irving Braxiatel, little does she suspect that a bit of corporate schmoozing with a fast food magnate is going to lead her into the biggest spin she's experienced for a very long time.
In a whistle-stop tour of frontier planets, she encounters mysterious burials, guns and swords, legs and claws, lost treasure, mortal combat, conspiracy, stomach-churning posh nosh and a little man called Perkin.
Oh, and love and war, again.
Meanwhile, Jack has to tackle possibly the most irritating computer virus ever created, and Ruth must clamber through the bowels of a crashed ship with 'The Man With The Vulpine Tattoo'.
And this was supposed to be the holiday season?
Written by James Parsons and Andrew Stirling-Brown, Bernice Summerfield: Filthy Lucre is available as a book and ebook, with a PRC file the replacement for MOBI and the format to get henceforth for Kindle users. Physical copies have been sent out and will be arriving on doormats very soon. As ever, people who've ordered a physical copy of the book will be able to access the ebook version absolutely free.
Bernice Summerfield: New Frontiers, featuring three brand new stories and a guest appearance from Georgia Moffett (TV Doctor Who's The Doctor's Daughter), will be released soon.
Fifty-four years ago today, a very special programme premiered. From the 50th anniversary in 2013, Toby Hadoke - comedian, actor and TV expert - has been providing free podcast and download interviews with a rich variety of its cast and crew. Here...

CHAR KISHORI, Bangladesh, March 13 (UPI) -- At least 26 people died and more than 200 were missing Tuesday after a cargo ship struck a passenger launch in Bangladesh's Meghna River, officials said.
Thirty passengers of the Dhaka-bound MV Shariatpur-1 swam to shore after the passenger ship was hit by an oil cargo boat, The (Dhaka) Daily Star reported.
The MV Shariatpur-1 sank.
Rescuers said they found the bodies of 26 passengers in the waters near Char Kishori.
Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan, during a visit to Char Kishori, said compensation would be provided to the victims' families.
A five-member committee will investigate the crash and will submit its report within a week, The Daily Star said.
One survivor, identified as Dewan, told The Daily Star he was able to reach the shore but "eight of my family members are remaining missing."
He said the ship left Naria for Dhaka Monday night with more than 250 passengers on board.
A rescue vessel reached the capsized launch Tuesday morning, the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority said.
Salvage operations are expected to begin once another ship arrives, officials said.

Darrington was SVP and chief accounting officer of Pathmark Stores prior to working for Tops.

Perhaps the only thing on which everyone can agree about Web 2.0 is that it has become a potent buzzword. It provokes enthusiasm and cynicism in roughly equal measures, but as a label for an idea whose time has come, no one can seriously doubt its influence.
So what does it mean? Web 2.0 began as a conference,1 first hosted in October 2004 by O'Reilly Media and CMP Media. Following the boom-bust cycle that ended in the dot-com crash of 2001, the organisers wanted to refocus attention on individual web success stories and the growing influence of the web as a whole. True, during the late 1990s hype and expectations had run ahead of reality, but that did not mean that the reality was not epochal and world-changing. By the following year, Tim O'Reilly, founder of the eponymous firm and principal articulator of the Web 2.0 vision, had laid down in a seminal essay2 a set of observations about approaches that work particularly well in the online world. These included:
- "The web as a platform"
- The Long Tail (e.g., Amazon)
- Trust systems and emergent data (e.g., eBay)
- AJAX (e.g., Google Maps)
- Tagging (e.g., del.icio.us)
- Peer-to-peer technologies (e.g., Skype)
- Open APIs and 'mashups' (e.g., Flickr)
- "Data as the new 'Intel Inside'" (e.g., cartographical data from MapQuest)
- Software as a service (e.g., Salesforce.com)
- Architectures of participation (e.g., Wikipedia)
The sheer range and variety of these concepts led some to criticize the idea of Web 2.0 as too ill-defined to be useful. Others have pointed out (correctly) that some of these principles are not new but date back to the beginning of the web itself, even if they have only now reached the mainstream. But it is precisely in raising awareness of these concepts that the Web 2.0 meme has delivered most value. Now, those of us without the genius of Jeff Bezos or Larry Page can begin to glimpse what the web truly has to offer and, notwithstanding the overblown hype of the late 1990s, how it really is changing the world before our eyes.
Initially the first item in the list above – the web as platform – seemed to have primacy among the loose collection of ideas that constituted Web 2.0 (see, for example, Figure 1 in 2). The most important thing seemed to be that talent and enthusiasm in software development was migrating from traditional operating system platforms to the web. New applications were agnostic with respect to Unix versus Macintosh versus Windows and were instead designed to operate using web protocols (specifically, HTTP and HTML) regardless of the precise underlying software running on the server or client machines.
However, this view taken on its own overlooks one very important reason why that migration has happened: the web is more powerful than the platforms that preceded it because it is an open network and lends itself particularly well to applications that enable collaboration and communication. With his usual eye for pithy phrasing, Tim O'Reilly described this aspect using the terms "architecture of participation"3 and "harnessing collective intelligence."2 He pointed out that the most successful web applications use the network on which they are built to produce their own network effects, sometimes creating apparently unstoppable momentum. This is how a whole new economy can arise in the form of eBay, why tiny craigslist and Wikipedia can take on the might of mainstream media and reference publishing, and why Google can produce the best search results by surreptitiously recruiting every creator of a web link to its cause. In time, this participative aspect came to the fore, and these days "Web 2.0" is often seen as synonymous with websites that do not merely serve users but also involve them, thus enabling them to achieve that most desirable of business goals: a service that gets better for everyone the more people use it.
This brief survey will use a relatively broad definition of Web 2.0. So, while it will deal mainly with participative services and network effects, it will also cover certain other aspects of the original Web 2.0 vision that have particular relevance in science, including mashups and tagging.

Subjects range from Sex to Science Fiction, politics and media, booze and biographies, and where we can talk to local authors, of course we do. But so far our efforts to get Washington Irving on the Ouija board have failed.

What you'll hear on Saturday nights with Chucks is Old Skool. And that, he says, is "anything that the commercial stations don't play anymore," or "real good music." You'll hear 60's, 70's, 80's music - rock, soft pop, early rock and punk, maybe even a little honky-tonk drum roll. Chucks likes the 80's sounds because it's what he grew up with. Rap was part of his street turntabling in the late 70's, but didn't get on vinyl and onto the radio until the early '80's. And you'll hear those early sounds on the Old Skool Session. Chucks' mother is from Jamaica, and her love of Jamaican music was passed on to Chucks. Tune in for his occasional Rock Steady shows that pay tribute to the blue beat, rock steady, ska and reggae music from Jamaica. And Chucks loves to bring us hip-hop, garage, and disco music. Listen in on Saturday nights from 10pm on — you'll be in for a treat!

In the words of John Gordon, host ofthe show, "I'm still new to the D.J. business — RambleTamble debuted on 9/10/03. I named the show after a CCR song which rambles in several different directions during its 7 minutes and 9 seconds. There is so much great music around in so many different genres that I would never want to rule anything out. I tend to lean toward Americana Roots, Alt Country, Early Rock and Folk, but those are just starting points. Working at WJFF and doing a music show brings me great joy. I have fun doing the show, and I hope you will have fun listening. Oh, by the way, I like to throw birthday parties on my show for people like T BoneBurnett, John Prine, Rick Nelson and Tom Waits to name a few. "Click playlists and more on the Ramble Tamble webpage.

With her vintage 1965 Beeline travel trailer, Sabrina Artel travels to festivals and events where she invites individuals to participate in what she calls a "public conversation" in a relaxed and comfortable setting. These conversations are broadcast live through speakers mounted outside the trailer, and many interviews are later aired on WJFF during the weekly program. The New York Times described Sabrina Artel's Trailer Talk as "an unusual blend of theater, activism and broadcast journalism."
Although the conversation ranges widely from politics, arts and culture to the environment, agriculture, development and recreation, Sabrina Artel's emphasis is consistently on localism and the contribution of individuals to their communities.

- She wrote the book. In June, 2008 Lisa Shusterman, her husband Marty and their twin daughters, left the security of their family life in Cincinnati, Ohio, for a year of traveling. "There were a plethora of guide books to tell us where to go and what to do.

English Language Requirements IELTS: 6 (min 5.5 in all areas) Pearson: 51 (51 in all subscores) BrunELT: 60% (min 55% in all areas) Brunel University London strongly recommends that if you will require a Tier 4 visa, you sit your IELTS test at a test centre that has been approved by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) as being a provider of a Secure English Language Test (SELT). Not all test centres have this status. The University can accept IELTS (with the required scores) taken at any official test centre or other English Language qualifications we accept as meeting our main award entry requirements. However, if you wish to undertake a Pre-sessional English course to further improve your English prior to the start of your degree course, you must sit the test at an approved SELT provider. This is because you will only be able to apply for a Tier 4 student visa to undertake a Pre-sessional English course if you hold a SELT from a UKVI approved test centre. Find out more information about it. Brunel also offers our own BrunELT English Test and accepts a range of other language courses. We also have Pre-sessional English language courses for students who do not meet these requirements, or who wish to improve their English. Find out more information about English course and test options. Back to top Teaching and Assessment Teaching You will be introduced to subject material, including key concepts, information and approaches, through a mixture of standard lectures and seminars, laboratory practicals, field work, self-study and individual research reports. The aim is to challenge and inspire you to expand your own knowledge and understanding. Teaching is by a mixture of lectures, laboratories, design studios and one-to-one supervision. Assessment There are written examinations in May of each year. In Level 3, all students undertake a major individual project, often with industrial support. This is worth a third of the overall marks for the year. Back to top Special Features Women in Engineering and Computing Programme Brunel's Women in Engineering and Computing mentoring scheme provides our female students with invaluable help and support from their industry mentors. Accreditation This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). Facts and Figures The UK Climate Change Act 2008 includes legally binding targets for the UK to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 80% by 2050. Internationally Kyoto Protocol has imposed similar conditions on signatory states. Methods of energy generation, sources of energy consumption, amount of energy demand and how it is delivered are understood to have a strong bearing on GHG emissions. Worldwide more efficient conventional power plants (including carbon capture and storage), nuclear, non-conventional fossils and renewables are being considered as viable generation alternatives. Private and public sectors are gearing up to meet this challenge - new cleaner conventional power plants are being implemented and renewables are being aggressively promoted through favourable policies, such as Feed in Tariff (FiT) and Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) schemes in the UK. Similar incentive schemes are being run in Spain, Germany, USA, India, Brazil and China among many other nations. Developing countries in Africa, Asia, South America and elsewhere are constructing new power infrastructure whilst overhauling the existing ones requiring advice on technical design, feasibility studies and enviro-economic analysis from energy consultancy companies. It is expected that graduates from this course will be suitable for and employed in these growing sectors.

The Edmonton Oilers' ongoing bid to get the City of Champions back into the major junior hockey business will go to a vote March 16.
Governors of the WHL's 21 teams will vote on that date about the question of granting Edmonton an expansion franchise for 2007-08, Oilers president Patrick LaForge told the Sun yesterday.
"We'll find out one way or another," said LaForge, who may touch on the subject at a news conference to kick off the Oilers' playoff ticket campaign Monday.
LaForge, who has spearheaded the Oilers efforts to acquire a WHL franchise the past four years - an effort that has included an offer of $5 million to induce owners of existing teams to sell - led an Oiler contingent at a presentation in front of WHL commissioner Ron Robison and board members in Calgary last month.
With the WHL having already granted an expansion franchise to Chilliwack, increasing the junior circuit to 21 teams, the decision has now been made to put the addition of Edmonton to a vote - a two-thirds majority, or a yes vote by 14 teams, is needed.
"We haven't done a roll call," said LaForge, asked if he's polled owners as to how the vote might go.
The Oilers would own and operate the franchise, which would be based at Rexall Place. The WHL already has franchises in two NHL cities - Calgary and Vancouver.

Maybe we will finally get some word on Pollard's and JJ's injuries.
Watch Live at 3:30pm ct
Quit jacking with the camera!!
It's not me! j/k
I think Kubes needs to sit out the first quarter and a half next week for being late to his own presser.
Here we go....
Will know about Jones injury on Weds.
AJ is still day to day...
Everything on Pollard is ok!!!!
Pollard lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Righteous! (Whew!)
They are asking some dummass questions.
ugh.. some retarded questions today
Man i wonder what these reporters get paid? I could easily sit there and ask stupid ass questions (Will Cushing be playing Sunday?). That seems like a great job.....
LMAO at Kubiak's response to that dumb question if Cushing will play this week.
"Was trying to enjoy win last night, and as soon as I got off the plane Rick (Smith) told me they had 11 sacks" - Kubes on the Giants defense
Player won't launch through work firewall....what did Kubes say?
I can't get the stream thru my firewall at work - they seriously asked if Cush would play?
Some reporter asked Kubes if he thought Cusing would play this Sunday or did he need to wait to evaluate him during practice.
Kubes" "Cushing? Brian Cushing? Uh, yeah, he's playing". Kubes chuckled after that, kind of almost like an evil laugh. Like, I can't believe you asked that and don't realize he's about to unleash hell. It was hilarious.
Kubiak: 'Will Cushing play this Sunday? BRIAN CUSHING?????????'
lol as close as stfu as kubiak can give. also that doofus that asked about how many other players have ever missed/late to meetings? WTF?
mcclain & warner look great compared to these dopes. nobody asked re the good secondary play after it being story of the week last week btw (unless i missed it)
Reporter: "Have any other players missed meetings, or was this an isolated incident?"
Kubiak: "I don't keep tabs"
Me: "who gives a flying duck!"

I have a 7.62x39 Russian or "Enfield K" conversion on order for an old No.4 Mk1* Enfield from them as well.
Parts to be converted were shipped to, and received by SIA in July, 2012. I haven't gotten my kit yet and no status request has been given a good response.
I'm just going to wait until the kit arrives and finish the project.
Would I do business with them again? Probably not.
Was I expecting the kit to be shipped to me within a specified period of time? No I wasn't.
Why not?
Because gunsmiths and custom parts take time to build/modify/get turned around. And because no definite time frame was offered or inferred.
It's a project for the heck of it and not a needed piece of hardware.

According to Reuters, the city's governor, Atheel Nujaifi, was trapped inside the provincial government's headquarters but managed to escape while police held back an assault by hundreds of militants. Just earlier that day, Mr Nujaifi had made a televised plea to the city's residents to stand up to the militants.

PARIS, July 29 (Reuters) - French retailer Casino posted 880 million euros ($1.18 billion) in first-half operating profit on Tuesday, up 13.3 percent at constant scope and exchange rates thanks to a strong international performance and a recovery under way at its domestic Geant hypermarkets.
In France, trading profit was affected by price cuts, mainly at its Leader Price discount stores, but Casino, which makes 60 percent of sales in emerging markets and controls Brazil's top retailer, Grupo Pao de Acucar, put in a strong performance abroad with 21.6 percent profit growth.
Retailers across Europe such as Carrefour and Tesco have struggled as shoppers' disposable income is squeezed by subdued wage growth and austerity measures. Most have responded with price cuts.
Casino has ditched confusing promotions in favour of permanent price cuts at its French Geant hypermarkets. It has also started lowering prices at Leader Price.
These price cuts are starting to bear fruit and Casino reported a marked improvement at its French hypermarket stores in the second quarter.
Earlier this month, Casino finance head Antoine Giscard d'Estaing told analysts he was "comfortable" with market consensus of around 2.4 billion euros for full-year 2014 operating profit.
Such a target would imply a 1.7 percent rise from last year's operating profit of 2.36 billion euros. (1 US dollar = 0.7447 euro) (Reporting by Andrew Callus; Editing by James Regan)
