Bluebirds fall in tourney opener
Gazette staff
Thursday, December 26, 2013
DELAFIELD--Janesville failed to convert power-play opportunities in the first period, and that cost the Bluebirds in a 4-0 loss to Waukesha in the opening game of the Joe Raymond Memorial Holiday Hockey Classic on Thursday.
"We had three power plays in the first period," Janesville coach John Mauermann said. "We had a couple of chances but just didn't finish."
After a scoreless first period, Waukesha took control with two power-play goals in the second. Waukesha concluded the scoring with two third-period goals.
"It would have been nice to do something in the first period," Mauermann said.
The Bluebirds return to the Nagawaukee Ice Arena today for an afternoon game against Brookfield Catholic Memorial.

Four years after large companies were required to start tagging their financial filings in XBRL, the training wheels are coming off, with the Securities and Exchange Commission's offer of limited liability for errors in XBRL-tagged filings ending this year.
The tagged data is still not that popular with its target audience of analysts and investors, though, and there are complaints about the extent of the errors in the tagged data, as well as a lack of comparability among different companies' data.
The SEC is requiring companies to tag their 10-Q and 10-K filings to make it easier for the investment community to gather financial data about companies and compare them.
At a March conference on XBRL and financial analysis organized by XBRL US, Baruch College and the New York Society of Security Analysts, Dan Gode, a professor at NYU's Stern School, argued that the Securities and Exchange Commission should treat tagging errors "with the same seriousness as errors in financial statements."
"I want far more data accuracy than exists right now," Gode said, adding that tagged data should have to be audited.
Campbell Pryde, CEO and president of XBRL US, a nonprofit consortium that develops taxonomies for XBRL and supports its implementation, said the organization's tracking shows about 2% of tagged data has problems. Fortune 500 companies, which have been tagging their filings the longest, are making fewer errors, and 10-Q filings are cleaner than 10-Ks. "The reason the Ks have more problems, there's more disclosure, they're starting to report more detailed information, so the opportunity for errors is increased," Pryde said.
XBRL US and the AICPA have launched an XBRL certification program, an online course that provides detailed data on how to tag GAAP financial statements, in hopes of eliminating a lot of the errors, Pryde said. "Some of these problems are pretty straightforward to resolve," he added. "We're not talking about complex issues, we're talking about putting the signs the wrong way," he said.
Another issue involves companies' creation of new tags for some of their numbers, a practice that can make it harder to compare their finances with those of their peers.
At the conference, Dan Gode of Stern outlined problems he had encountered in using XBRL-tagged data. For example, his search for companies with the most warranties failed to turn up General Motors and Ford, because the two automakers use different tags for warranties than other companies, he said.
"The comparability side, that's something the regulators are going to have to watch over and put some emphasis behind," added Glenn Doggett, director of standards of practice for the CFA Institute.
A tension between allowing companies to provide their financial information in a very detailed way and having the data in a format that allows comparisons, according to XBRL US's Pryde. XBRL US is working on a model that would "normalize data into a standardized format," he said.
Despite the complaints about accuracy and comparability, speakers at the conference called for tagging additional types of financial filings.
The investment community would be particularly interested in having earnings releases and the proxy statement tagged, Pryde said. Since the SEC doesn't have oversight over earnings releases, it's not likely they will be tagged any time soon, Pryde said, but he sees the possibility that portions of the annual proxy could be tagged in coming years.
As companies work to refine their use of XBRL, is anyone using all the newly tagged financial information?
A evaluation of XBRL that was released in January by Columbia Business School's Center for Excellence in Accounting and Security Analysis found that fewer than 10% of the 26 analysts and investors interviewed for the report used XBRL-tagged data accessed directly from the SEC's Web page or other organizations that provide the data for free.
However, at the Baruch conference, Matthew Slavin of the SEC's Office of Interactive Data said that use of the tagged data is growing, noting that "many more people" now use the agency's XBRL viewer webpage.
The SEC's XBRL viewer webpage was accessed about 621,000 times this March, up from 358,000 hits in March 2012 and 127,000 hits in March 2011, according to the SEC. But a spokesperson for the agency said that it's impossible to say how many of the people who accessed the site actually downloaded data.
Glenn Doggett of the CFA Institute said that while the portion of investors that access tagged data directly may be low, many analysts get their data from aggregators like Bloomberg or Thomson Reuters. To the extent that the aggregators use the tagged data, the analysts are getting the benefit of it.
For analysts whose job is to respond immediately after a company announces its earnings, XBRL is beside the point, since the company's earnings press release, which isn't tagged, is available before the tagged SEC filings, Doggett said.
And for analysts who make longer-term recommendations, the fact that financials tagged in XBRL go back only a few years is a problem. "If your information is solely coming from XBRL, you don't have a very long history," Doggett said. "Part of it is, it's a matter of time."
Pryde said some companies are finding their own uses for the tagged data, including a number that are turning to XBRL data to benchmark themselves versus their peers. "People are using XBRL as a tool to increase the speed at which they can do that comparison and quickly identify changes among their peers," he said.
Further, as more companies decide to do the work of tagging their data in-house, instead of outsourcing it, they have a greater ability to make use of the tagged data, Doggett added. He cited Microsoft, which uses its tagged data to populate its investor Website.

Gil Sedor remembered most for civic presence
JANESVILLE—A member of several local service groups and civic organizations, Gil Sedor was recognized as someone who wouldn't hesitate to step in and help out.
From helping build the Hedberg Public Library and Rotary Botanical Gardens to leadership in several local service organizations, Sedor took great pride in helping sew the civic fabric of his beloved Janesville.
Sedor died Tuesday after a long illness. He was 80.
"He did a lot of things personally for people that weren't ever recognized, things that weren't ever associated with any organizations," his son Dan Sedor said. "He has told me many times that he thinks he has a responsibility as a citizen of the United States to be active in one's community, and he took that seriously."
But Sedor didn't take life too seriously. One summer, while participating in the Janesville Noon Rotary's friendship exchange program, he had the opportunity to visit Australia. Unfortunately, he neglected to tell his daughter about it until after the fact.
"I went to the airport to get him and was (scolding him) like an adult with their child," Rachel (Mahadeo) Sedor said. "Why didn't you tell me you were going?"
Mahadeo learned that while on his trip, her father had been parapenting, which involves running off the side of a mountain with a large gliding canopy attached.
Apparently Sedor also had planned to bungee jump while on the trip, but he thought that might be a bit too dangerous, she said.
"He was completely unfazed by stuff sometimes," Mahadeo said. "I told him 'Dad, you're 55 years old,' but he wasn't concerned with that."
A trial attorney by trade, Sedor had a rough exterior but was a gentle giant to those who knew him. Whether it was stealing all the grape Jolly Ranchers from the tellers at Johnson Bank or calling himself the Bionic Man due to his shoulder and hip replacements, people in Janesville knew Gil Sedor.
"Dad was tough," Mahadeo said. "He was a 6-2 trial attorney who played football, so a lot of people were scared of him. But he was a big goofball at the same time."
A Wausau native, Sedor moved to Janesville in 1961. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps in Korea from 1952-54 and later attended Marquette University on a full scholarship wrestling and playing football. It was there he attended law school, earning his degree in 1961.
"I was his partner since 1984 until he retired in 2003," said Janesville attorney Jack Hoag. "I worked with him since 1978. Ever since I've known him he was always very civically involved. He was hard-working and loved his children and loved Janesville, and he tried to be a positive member of the community."
Some of Sedor's accolades include induction into the Rock County Hall of Honor and winning the United Way of North Rock County Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award, the Jaycees Distinguished Service Award and the YMCA Volunteer of the Year Award. He also was named one of The Janesville Gazette's "50 Who Matter" in 2010.
Sedor also was a volunteer for the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, the UW-Rock County Foundation, Agrace HospiceCare, the Janesville Performing Arts Center and the Rock County Historical Society, among others.
Sedor was a founding member, past president and life member of UW-Rock County Foundation. Diana Shadel, UW-Rock board president, said his contributions to the scholarship program, student advocacy and fundraising efforts were always close to his heart.
"He thought that all students should have the opportunity to go on to college," she said. "He had good, creative ideas and always took action. When he said he was going to do something, he did it."
Whatever the cause, Sedor just loved being active, Mahadeo said.
"He was a good guy and people knew he had these double sides to him," she said. "He loved his kids and was social to the core. He didn't just start civic duty when he raised his kids. He started when he moved to town.
"There's been an outpouring of sentiments about him."

Natural selection is proven wrong
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
Okay, so your source claims to cite a legit journal, even though it links to the journal's home page and not to the article in question (which still casts suspicion, but oh well). That still doesn't resolve the problem that this article of yours has nothing to do with the topic of discussion, natural selection.
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
it shows harmful genes are common
which should not be the case for natural selection cliams harmful genes should be rare
thus NS is wrong
you want more evidence

http://www.libraryindex.com/pages/270/G ... rders.html
Hello again gamila,
I've been trying to figure out why your last quote from an article on cancer research is at all relevant to your argument, but in light of some of your other comments, I think the title of the article "Researchers find new breast cancer genes" is causing the problem. New genes. You seem to be under the impression that speciation is caused by, or at least requires, the appearance of new genes. Before talking about how new genes develop, I'd like to clear up a common misconception that may or may not be contributing to your misunderstanding of the issues here.
This news article talks about new cancer genes. These genes are not new genes, they are just known genes that have been newly linked to some forms of cancer. And their function is not to cause cancer, but to perform some normal biological function that is probably described in the research article but is not mentioned in the news article. Some alleles of these genes (an allele is a variant of a gene - most genes have many variants in a population, but any one person can have at most two alleles for any gene, one from the mother and one from the father) possess polymorphisms (differences) that disrupt the normal function of the proteins encoded by the genes. Cancer is caused by the unfortunate co-existence of mutations in multiple genes, not by single mutations in only one gene. There are no genes whose function is to cause cancer.
Now, new genes. New genes arise from old genes (no spontaneous generation at the genetic level either). Genomes are not static things, particularly at the population level. We talk about "the human genome" or the genome of this or that species. If the genomes from all humans (or all individuals of any species) were completely sequenced and compared, you would be amazed at the differences that exist between individuals. And not just differences in alleles of genes, but differences in the numbers and locations of genes within "the" human genome. Genes get duplicated, small or large bits of chromosomes get duplicated, or deleted, or inverted, or transferred from one part of a chromosome to another or to a different chromosome. Some small bits of chromosomes can get duplicated, which then form small, independently reproduced circles. There's plenty of weird stuff happening in the genomes of species. Sometimes entire genomes get duplicated, leading to polyploid organisms (we are diploid).
When a gene is duplicated, you now have two copies of the same gene, so the copy is not actually needed. If a mutation occurs in the copy that would normally cause a complete loss of function, no worries, the original is still there to perform that function. The copy is essentially a renegade and can continue to accumulate mutations without having any effect on the species' fitness. If the copy still has its control sequences or finds itself embedded in another part of the genome where a protein can be produced from it, maybe (probably not, but maybe) it could some day a thousand years hence produce a protein that ends up with a different function. Try not to picture this happening as a single event within a single individual or lineage, but as multiple events accumulating within populations over very, very long periods of time. Sometime, somewhere one of these renegades is going to end up as a "new gene". Most of the trash is trash and will get tossed out eventually, but sometimes trash can be useful.
You don't need new genes to get a new species. The genomes of humans and chimps are virtually identical in the genes that they contain, and there are no "chimp genes" that make a chimp a chimp. The difference between humans and chimps is determined by different alleles of common genes and by how and when our common genes are expressed (the production of the proteins that the genes encode). Imagine that. Two closely related species could even have the same genes and the same range of alleles of these genes yet be unable to interbreed due to something as trivial as a behavioural difference in the mating ritual.
The biological world is in a constant state of change. What we call species are discontinuities that we can recognize by morphology or genetics (or behaviour). What we choose to call a species is indeed a human construct, but these constructs are based on observation and are just our attempt at categorizing the biological world. You are right in stating that there is no agreed definition of what a species is. Few biologists will argue this point. The lack of a universal definition, however, in no way negates that speciation has occurred, is occurring, and will continue to occur. What it does illustrate, though, is the richness of the biological world. We try to digitize organisms into discreet groupings as best we can, but the biological world is better viewed as an analogue continuum in constant flux with smaller or larger gaps here and there that we choose to call species (with varying levels of success or justification).
Natural selection does not need new genes to operate. It operates in every gene of every individual of every population of every species every day. Given enough individuals with enough genetic variation in enough environments over a long enough time, natural selection will lead to the formation of new species.
As far as the presence of so many harmful "genes" in the human genome is concerned, you (and the popular press) are confusing the terms "genes" and "alleles". I think the last guestimate of how many genes we have stands at about 35,000 (someone give me an update if there is one). And there are roughly 6,000 single-gene disorders. My, but we're in trouble. Why are only 1 in 200 births affected? My math is not particularly good, but shouldn't there be more than 1 in 200 births affected? This discrepancy is due to there not being 6,000 bad genes in our genome, but 6,000 genes that have bad alleles in the population. Some genes can have hundeds of alleles, some of which may not work very well and can cause disease. Most alleles do just fine. New alleles arise all the time. They can arise by new mutations, but they can also arise by recombination during meiosis that ensures that no two individuals will ever be genetically identical (except monozygotic twins). So, bad alleles, over time, tend to be slowly (sometimes quickly if they are fatal or prevent reproduction) removed from populations by means of natural selection. New alleles are arising all the time, some of which may cause problems. I suspect that modern medicine and reproductive technologies will tend to increase the frequenccies of bad alleles in us. The presence of so many bad alleles in our species is, though, quite normal. Alleles come and go. Evolution, in part, is the change in frequencies of alleles over time.
Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
there i am talking about traits not genes
and as such NS is invalidated ny speciation
Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
and they are harmful as such
you dont even know what a species is
and you talk all this scientific bumbo jumbo about speciation genome mutations - and none of you can agree on a definition of species
OK. I'm considering calling it quits on this thread. I don't know why I've tried so hard to explain some of the basics behind natural selectiion. My wife's been away for the last week, and maybe I'm just getting bored. Sometimes, though, I feel like a missionary, willing to strive to save even a single poor soul lost in the wilderness. But if that soul has no desire to be saved, then what's the point?
gamila, I'm not a moderator and have no authority for saying this, but this forum is for discussions about evolution. Nonbiologists are more than welcome here. Many laypeople have questions they want help with, and we are willing to help. Sometimes we get an occassional creationist who beats their head against the wall of science. It seems to me that you are not here to learn or to rationally discuss specifics but only to state that natural selection does not happen, for whatever agenda you have. Well, you've come to the wrong place for that. You will get no converts here. There are plenty of forums available to you where you can happily exchange dubious quotes.
Confrontation is not a good strategy for fruitful discussion. I, at least, would be more tolerant if you were willing to discuss why you hold the beliefs you do. I realize that you're not a biologist and so don't have much knowledge of the subjects discussed here, but that's OK. You're not discussing anything, though. Tell us why you believe the sources you have quoted, not necessarily in scientific mumbo jumbo, but just discuss something, anything. This is a discussion forum. Give us one of your quotes and then tell us why you think they are right. Don't just give them to us and say "There. I'm right and you're wrong". This doesn't get us too far. Evolutionists believe they are right because they have a wealth of evidence in support of their beliefs. Give us your evidence and we'll talk. Some thought is required, preferrably of the rational variety. But as I said before, an open mind is required. I believe what I believe for good resaons. I KNOW very little of any consequence beyond a shadow of a doubt, but probability is good enough for me to be a missionary.
Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
look its quite simple NS is
1)darwin noted that the cambrian explosion made his theory wrong
it is noted
2) speciation makes NS wrong- i am talking about traits not genes and mutations are not what NS deals with
3* i have given evidence that harmful genes can be common thus invalidating NS which says they should rare
i think i have presented a sound case
I have already addressed this question, and you have refused to answer it. Would you mind finally explaining what was wrong with my previous analysis of why oncogenic genes might be considered beneficial from an evolutionary standpoint? For that matter, you have also declined to answer my question of what sort of theory you propose in place of natural selection.
This has also been answered previously, by myself and others. You have also never explained what was wrong with those explanations, either. In fact your habit of refusing to answer questions presented to you is beginning to convince me that wbla3335 is right. You are clearly not interested in a reasonable discussion; you are here to push whatever agenda you have, without any desire to keep an open mind to other possibilities and without any regard for the fact that your claims have been proven wrong time and again. If I am wrong and you really are interested in an intelligent, reasonable discussion, then you can begin by answering the questions presented to you.
Generally speaking, the more people talk about "being saved," the further away they actually are from true salvation.

Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
best of luck to you too
Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
more evidence that NS is wrong due to genes for breast cancer
some of these genes are common
these genes are harmful as they can lead to the death of the person
Re: Natural selection is proven wrong
more evidence that the cambrian explosion makes NS wrong
even steven J Gould notes the problem
"The case at present must remain inexplicable; and may be truly urged as a valid argument against the views here entertained." (Darwin, C., The Origin of Species, 1872, pp. 316-317.) Today, Gould writes, "The Cambrian Explosion occurred in a geological moment, and we have reason to think that all major anatomical designs may have made their evolutionary appearance at that time. ...not only the phylum Chordata itself, but also all its major divisions, arose within the Cambrian Explosion. So much for chordate uniqueness... Contrary to Darwin's expectation that new data would reveal gradualistic continuity with slow and steady expansion, all major discoveries of the past century have only heightened the massiveness and geological abruptness of this formative event..." (Gould, Stephen J., Nature, vol. 377, October 1995, p.682.)

Four Sparkling Wines For the Holidays
South End wine buyer, Julie Cappellano, and Cambridge wine buyer, Gemma Iannoni, offer their top picks for bubbly to celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year! Their selections subscribe to our philosophy of selecting authentic, terroir-driven wines from producers using organic, sustainable, or biodynamic viticultural practices.
– Julie's Champagne Picks –
Aubry Fils Brut Champagne N.V. (Jouy-les-Reims, France)
Made by twin brothers Pierre and Philippe on their estate in Jouy-les-Reims, this staff favorite Premier Cru blend has fresh green apple notes and a rich minerality. Sophisticated and complex but still lovable and approachable. Fantastic with panettone.
Billiot Fils Brut Rosé N.V. (Champagne, France)
Perfect pink Pinot Noir based Champagne from grower Henri Billiot's tiny, 5-hectare estate. This rich, dense Grand Cru Champagne has a lovely floral nose, fine strawberry fruit and a pink grapefruit zestiness with a long, lingering almost salty finish. Simply marvelous with (or without) food.
– Gemma's Sparkling Wine Picks –
I Clivi '10 Ribolla Spumante (Friuli, Italy)
This bright, electric, citrusy sparkler is based on 100% organically cultivated Ribolla Gialla. The grapes are sourced from a vineyard just fifteen minutes northeast of our friends' Mario and Ferdinando Zanusso's home in Corno di Rosazzo, crossing into Slovenia's portion of the Collio growing region. The Zanussos press the grapes at Champagne levels, meaning very gently, so as to extract only the fior di fiori, or the highest quality juice. This ensures that the finest, most delicate aromas are expressed in the finished wine. Gentle pressing is used for all of the Zanussos' grapes, which is why their wine is several notches above their peers. The only difference between this bubbly and their white wine, Gialla, is that the Spumante is made into a sparkling wine using the Charmat method. It is also perfect for brunch as it is low in alcohol and finely effervescent. Only 1,500 bottles produced and exclusive to Formaggio Kitchen.
Domaine des Vignes du Maynes Ste. Geneviève Blanc (Burgundy, France)
Drinking this with eyes closed, you might think that you're drinking a Grand Cru Blanc de Blanc! This 100% biodynamically farmed Chardonnay-based sparkler comes from the Guillot family's small clos just outside the village of Cruzille in southern Burgundy's Mâcon region. Utmost care and attention to detail are what make this wine stand out, since everything is done by hand from the vineyard to wine cellar. This wine is a unique expression of stony/limestone soils, showing marked minerality and acidity as well as richness and creaminess on the palate. Ste. Geneviève is the patron saint of hail and her statue is visible above this vineyard, intended to protect the vines from the flash hailstorms that are typical of Burgundy's steeper sites. This wine is Méthode Champenoise and is produced in-house. Roughly 1,200 bottles are made each year. This is a rare wine – don't miss it.

"I sleep like a baby, meaning I wake up every night screaming and crying."
Those were the words of Larry Thompson, EVP. Government Affairs, GC and Corporate Secretary, PepsiCo., as he discussed the weight of ethics and compliance on the head of a general counsel at the opening session of the sixth annual Global Ethics Summit.
Randy Milch, EVP, Public Policy and GC, Verizon, echoed that sentiment, stating that sometimes, it seems like the entire world is out to get us. He says that protecting a company's reputation means you feel the weight of regulation, and that he feels the need to keep a finger on anything that could be a trouble spot.
He emphasized the big role that social media plays these days, and notes that his company has a number of people who keep tabs on social media, with an emphasis on addressing customer concerns and identifying trends that may appear in social media threads.
Thompson spoke about the change in enforcement focus by the government, with regulators becoming more aggressive in their investigations, using a number of new channels to gather information and raising the stakes. He spoke of recent developments of compliance programs, as many companies merely deployed "paper programs," not even identifying who was in charge of this function. As time went on, he saw the function grow and spread out from something more than compliance to entail ethics and integrity as well.
Milch echoed the concept of evolution, noting how the compliance function at Verizon migrated to the GC's office, where he put more attention on it than previously. He supported the idea that ethics was as important as compliance, and noted how Verizon moved the ethics function to the HR department.
In both of these companies, the compliance function reports to the GC, though the moderator of the session, Holly Gregory of Sidley Austin, noted that many companies do not use this reporting model. Thompson noted that the structure depends on the industry and company in question. He pointed out that, under SOX, the GC represents the interest of the company, not any particular executive. Many compliance issues, he said, have legal ramifications, and Thompson sees a close relationship between the CCO and the GC being key to success. He does note that the CCO should have some independence, like at PepsiCo, where the CCO has the option to meet with the board or executives without the GC being present.
At Verizon, the CCO reports to the GC and the audit committee. This creates a robust effort to foster relationships and communication, allowing the CCO to get her work done in critical areas, protecting the company quickly and efficiently.
The topic of how a GC or CCO can add value to a company came up. Milch reinforced the idea that compliance is everyone's business, and suggested getting everyone in the business involved in compliance. He recounted a time when he brought together business and compliance leaders to discuss errors that had been made. The meeting focused on ensuring that there was clear ownership and target dates for all compliance matters. He stated that legal departments are not the department of "no," but rather the group that helps get to "yes" in a legal and ethical manner.
"Get to know the business," Thompson advised, stating that this put any GC a better chance to give input and help the company be successful. That, perhaps, was the simplest and best advice of all.

A company is confronted with a campaign of defamatory comments by one or more anonymous posters that is causing real reputational harm. The company has considered other alternatives detailed in Part 1 of this three-part series, such as posting a rebuttal or using the website's own procedures to remove the posting. The company is frustrated and seeks advice on other options. At this point, the company can consider the litigation option — a lawsuit to unmask the identity of the anonymous poster and to bring suit for defamation. The company should not embark on the litigation option lightly and should be prepared for backlash from consumers and customers for its decision to sue, which again must be managed through its social media platforms and other public relations efforts.
Lawsuits to unmask the identity of anonymous posters raise competing First Amendment interests
There are competing interests at stake in lawsuits to unmask anonymous posters and state legislatures and courts have approached them in different ways. On the one hand, there is a long tradition in the United States of protecting anonymous speech under the First Amendment and this protection has been extended to those who use the internet. In McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Comm'n, the Supreme Court ruled, that "in the field of literary endeavor, the interest in having anonymous works enter the marketplace of ideas unquestionably outweighs any public interest requiring disclosure as a condition of entity."
On the other hand, the First Amendment does not protect defamatory speech and a company should be able to pursue a case for false statements that damage its reputation. In Herbert v. Lando, the Supreme Court ruled that "spreading false information in and of itself carries no First Amendment credentials." The type of speech at issue also impacts the level of protection afforded under the First Amendment. In these kinds of cases, commercial speech, which is defined as speech related to the economic interests of the speaker, is implicated and any statute that restricts this speech must assert a substantial government interest that cannot be served by a more limited restriction on the commercial speech.
Unmasking standards vary by state
These competing interests have led to different unmasking standards. In Virginia, an appellate court recently affirmed the issuance of a subpoena duces tecum to Yelp in a defamation suit by a carpet cleaning business, Hadeed Carpet Cleaning, Inc., against seven anonymous reviewers who allegedly posted false statements about the business. The court rejected Yelp's First Amendment defense and found that the elements required by the Virginia unmasking statute had been met. The business had to show, among other things, that it had a good faith basis to believe that the comments posted were defamatory. The business relied on evidence that it had searched its database of customers to see if it could match the negative reviews to customers and it could not. In other words, the business could not match the work done for an anonymous reviewer (Bob G. from Oakton) to work actually performed. This supported its view that the reviewers were falsely representing themselves as customers of the business.
Other states have more rigorous unmasking standards reflected in state statutes or case law. For example, in New Jersey, in order to uncover the identity of an anonymous defendant, the plaintiff must show sufficient evidence supporting its prima facie cause of action and the court must balance the defendant's First Amendment right to anonymous free speech against the strength of the prima facie case presented and the necessity for the disclosure of the identity. Applying this standard, the courts in New Jersey rejected an attempt to compel Yahoo to disclose the identity of the person who posted negative comments on a Yahoo bulletin board about a business because evidence of damage, an element of a claim for defamation, was not shown. Delaware has adopted an unmasking standard that requires the defamation plaintiff to be able to withstand a motion for summary judgment before obtaining the identity of the anonymous defendant.
Lawsuits to unmask anonymous posters can be an effective tool to consider when managing reputational risk
Companies contemplating a lawsuit against an anonymous reviewer need to be aware that there is no consistent standard for unmasking the identity of an anonymous reviewer. Each state may have different statutes or standards developed by courts. Since these kinds of suits require the plaintiff to obtain the identity of the person before their case is proven, some courts are reluctant to compel disclosure for fear it will chill the speech of persons who have engaged in protected speech. Given how the public may view these kinds of suits, companies should always pursue other ways of dealing with these kinds of comments and should view litigation as a last resort. Nevertheless, if the harm to reputation is great, a company should consider these suits as a way to address defamatory statements, particularly if the company suspects "guerrilla" tactics have been used by an aggressive competitor. As demonstrated by the recent Virginia court ruling, it can be a meaningful tool for dealing with these kinds of reputational issues.

Human Collembola Infestations
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam
Human Collembola Infestations
I'm seeking informationa and discussion on the human collembola infestations. This topic has been touched in other forums in Human Biology but not discussed directly. I would like to share, test and discuss some of my own finding and theories as well as others presented in other forums.
I would like to being with understanding if and where any research projects are dedicated this parasitic condition.
Thank you,
Hi there ,
I am terrified bevcause I believe I have this as well as my little four year old.
I would like to know if you were ever tested and where.
Please devulge any information that may be able to help me.
I cannot get any antibiodics for my son or for myself.
I feel as though I am deteriating daily.
thank you for any help
This is terrible. You might be better perhaps to post on the fiber disease. I do not know, but believe that these arthropods live on plants, maybe systemically.
Contact Mary at the Morgellons Research Foundation, and see if any of your clinical features might correspond with Morgellons, or the Fiber (Fibre) Disease.
Contact Dr Amin, or read his literature (parasitologist).
Is that same as springtails? My study partner is exterminator and says they are really bad this year because of moisture in area. You could try insecticide I think (but not on body of course). Or maybe insect repellent for skin?
colembolla oh no!!!
Damien what do all the stages look like?
We know it does not have a larva stage
I still have not found the answer to my unidentified bug.
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these".
~ George washington Carver
I know that they dislike dryness, and feed on (among other things) other arthropod droppings and fungi.
Some solutions can be prescribed for scalp and skin, but, if they are actually breeding on the scalp as a feature of Morgellons/fiber disease/neurocutaneous syndrome, then, perhaps, we are back to the Dr Schwartz protocol, or similar.
Also, read what Cliff Mickelson has to say about the callus, and about the borg loving oxygen, as do springtails.
Hi everyone,
I am writing to ask if anyone can please suggest what I should do.
I had suspected that my son was possibly infested with Collembola and Morgellons. It unfortunately is true.
Personally I discovered the symptoms in April, I have lost over 25 lbs now and have had wierd foriegn object in my stools (small black round balls, rice looking objects, and red thicker noodle ) what frighten me yesterday is that they are now much larger.
Because of the collembola I have also loss hair,vision problems, and have developed a huge cyst inside my eye lid. (suspected an egg, but may not be)
I was tested for parasites (neg) but of course never Collembola.
My need is dire. I am baffled on how quickly this disease is debillatated.
But unfortunately, what saddens me the most is that my four year olds health has turned for hte worse. He is having uncontrollable twitches all night, he is scratching like crazy, scalp, groin, under arm pits, feet.
He runs a fever (at night) is clammy ,sweaty palms. He has small hard pimple like bites n his arm and feet.
I have taken my son to our family doctor and Pediatrician. to no avail. Since his fever mainly comes at night, he looks fine during the day. (bites are explained as bites, but they are not going away. The other, explained as heat rash...etc...
I have an immidiate emergency. I am so desperate but dont have anywhere to turn. Please help with any, absolutely any advise.
Thank you all for listening.
Have you contacted your health Department yet? I would suggest you do that ASAP, they could help. Also, if you have health insurance call them and tell them what is going on. They have case workers for special needs and that is how I found my doctor.
I got so fed up with being shuffled around and getting no where that I called my insurance company up, told them what was happening to me and that they needed to get me a doctor that would agree to either rule out or treat this specific condition before any more future appointments were made. And that I was not going to another doctor that never heard of it before again.
Not only did they go out of network, I got the biggest most prestigious doctor they could find! Not that it makes him any more knowledgeable about this but at least he is trying.
Get your kid a lint brush, the sticky tape kind (pet ones work best) and tell him to use it where he feels movement. This should help some. You can also use it during the night on him if you see his sleep is being disturbed by the itch. Salt baths, sulfur powder, and garlic are our best defense without the antibiotics or other drugs.
Wash all clothes in heavy ammonia and pick the fibers off as you launder.
There is also a homeopathic remedy called Sulfur 6X that is safe for children. It is used for itch and rashes but it will also cause this stuff to exit. You may purchase this at any health food store for around seven bucks give or take a few cents.
You may also think about purchasing the tea tree gel type lotion that I believe is made by a company called Jason. The health food store associates will be able to guide you to this product. It works better for kids IMO because it is not real greasy and feels really good.
If you have any other questions please just ask. I am sorry to hear that your child and you suffer. Good luck and hang in there.
I am not sure if I sent this message to the appropriate site.
I am in need of recommendations of hair products. I do use the Paul Mitchell products but seem uneffective once it dries. I am willing to try anything. Even if it isn't for the hair.(oil/lotions etc..) as long as it doesn't flake where that would be a worse scenario.
I am having insects/flakes moving and popping off of my hair. It is quite embarrasing, not to mention uncomfortable, extremely itchy and hair frizz/almost standing straight up.
Please help with any advise.
fiber disease
Figured I would jump in on this~Heck~I've been dealing with this for almost 5 years now. Here's a good one for the skin when you just hop out of the shower. You know that sticky feeling that tries to win your skin back into miserable mode? Try Gold Bond ultimate comfort body powder. It's the one in the white bottle and have found that it is not kept with the same original gold bond and other antifungal products but with the lotions and after shower products (at least at Wal Mart).
In the shower, Physoderm body or face wash. Either one. Reason being, it contains salicyclic acid. Glycolic acid works great, too. I personally cannot live without these products.
Want more? Contact Carolee at: http://www.abcskincare.com
she is awesome, shipping is VERY FAST and FREE. Her products also have been extremely relieving. Top 3~ For dry skin days are Emulsifying Cleanser....To literally remove the gook from your skin (also hair) Intensive Sea Cleanse and for the really bad days~ MD Formulations Face and Body Scrub. These are your 5 star products. Like I said, 5 years later, and a ton of money in search for relief. I might get a sore here or there. Just one and never more than 2. In the beginning, I had over 150 lesions, all on videotape to prove it.
Now let me ask any of you this. Have you ever heard of any other disease being treated in this manor? Look at the globe, Not only have all 50 states reported it but it's huge everywhere. They still try to label it as a delusional or psychological condition. Aids didn't even beat this race and did they label it or treat it in the same manor? I think not.
Anyone with me here? Don't exhaust yourself for answers. I honestly don't think we'll get them here. This is a deep one and I think our cure just might come with repenting and turning from our wicked ways. Our children are under what we do and who we are which means this is for them, too.
Please know that I am not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers, I have them too but from what I understand, this is a plague and indeed it is. I have heard that if we DO NOT repent and turn from our wicked ways, this is going to be WAY worse than what it is right now.
I want to thank you for all that great advise. I truly appreciate any , and I truly mean any information, suggestion's on this topic as well as Morgellon's.
If you have any other pertinent information please forward.
I would like to know if you are aware of anyone in Virginia (who does not mind disclosing e-mail/phone # )who might have this. I was hoping to speak to them. They may be able to direct me towards resources , physicians that may have helped.
I thank you for your support and guidance.
Hi Deena,
I know what you mean, but I do not think that this disease is the fault of the sufferer. You are not the one who has indulged in wicked ways here!
Those who have, or know who has, (if applicable) should not only repent but confess openly so that the proper treatment can be made available to all, including the poor little children.
Meanwhile, consult a knowledeable health care professional in order to obtain accurate diagnosis and full treatment.
See the writings of Ginger Savely on this, (Nurse Practitioner in San Francisco).
Her regimen of treatment has much in common with Dr Schwartz's excellent protocol.
Topical treatments can help greatly as an adjuct to systemic treatment, but check in case anything considered may be contraindicated at various points within the treatment programme.

Los Angeles police officer Steven Ruiz, who had some bumps in his lengthy law enforcement career, is suing his former employer due to a demotion.
The former LAPD captain was allegedly demoted after he refused to fire a police officer, and then demoted again. He had been the top commander in LAPD's Rampart station.
"The LAPD doesn't always seem to play fair in its internal discipline system, which can jeopardize the constitutional and employment rights of their officers," Matthew McNicholas, the officer's attorney, said in a statement. "We believe this suit demonstrates that Chief Charlie Beck can play favorites and ignore the Department's established procedures."
Ruiz was demoted from Captain III to Captain I, and then demoted to Lieutenant. His attorney claims the demotion "was in retaliation for refusing to violate the rights of fellow officers at an administrative tribunal proceeding over which he presided, contrary to the wishes of Beck."

In 2011, Ruiz presided over a Board of Rights proceeding. Ruiz was verbally reprimanded by an assistant chief, believed to be Earl Paysinger, for recommending a lesser penalty and not terminating an officer. He was later demoted to Lieutenant by Paysinger.
"It's a widely or at least somewhat-held belief that officers referred to the Board of Rights by Chief Charlie Beck are being sent to be terminated, a contention echoed in the suit," the LA Weekly reported.
Ruiz was cited on May 30, 2013, for driving under the influence while off-duty, an incident that could have resulted in his demotion. However Ruiz's attorney says that, Captain Edward Prokop of Newton Division was also stopped in Riverside for driving under the influence and that "various sources of information indicate that … Prokop was not demoted for the situation."
In fact, police officers who receive a DUI usually get only a "conditional official reprimand," a hearing, and treatment, according to a report from LA Weekly.
Ruiz claims he suffered, "… physical, mental, and emotional injuries, pain, distress, suffering, anguish, fright, nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, shame, mortification, injured feelings, shock, humiliation and indignity, as well as other unpleasant physical, mental, and emotional reactions, damages to reputation, and other non-economic damages."
The LAPD has declined to comment on the pending litigation.

Gold medals may be second nature to the man feted by some as Britain's greatest athlete, but Mo Farah has acknowledged his career is not destined to end in a blaze of glory.
Farah maintains he has the motivation to continue running beyond the Rio Olympics in 2016 - and he will only hang up his spikes when injuries or extra-special opponents force him to accept his best days are over.
The 31-year-old double Olympic champion is in Newcastle where he will seek to add the Great North Run title to his list of honours on Sunday after being dramatically pipped by Kenenisa Bekele last year.
Mo Farah is aiming to become the first British winner of the Great North Run in 29 years on Sunday
Farah said: "I still love running and when you're at the top you just want to keep winning medals and accomplishing new things.
"When the day comes to retire it will not happen at the top level - it will be when I'm suffering with injuries or struggling to get back to where I once was.
"But at the moment I still have that drive to succeed and hopefully I will still be on the top after Rio."
Farah has endured a difficult 2014 by his own Herculean standards, finishing a disappointing eighth on his London Marathon debut in April before missing out on the Glasgow Commonwealth Games with a debilitating stomach problem.
But he staged a remarkable comeback to win double gold at the European Championships in Zurich.
For Farah the startling recovery process taught him new things about his physical capacity and has only hardened his resolve to maintain his dominance of the long-distance track events going forward.
Farah added: "Obviously I would have hoped to have had a better season but you can't help getting ill or injuries, and when they come it is about how you deal with them.
"I managed to get over it and get two gold medals and a British record, and if you had asked me six weeks ago I would have been happy with just one of them.
"It gives me a lot of confidence - to win having had a time where I did not know if I was going to be able to turn things around was obviously a great feeling."
Farah will join a small band of British Great North Run winners if he manages to see off the likes of Olympic marathon champion Stephen Kiprotich on Sunday.
Farah was just two years and three months old when Salford's Steve Kenyon won the race in 1985.
Farah added: "Last year was a close race and this year there are a lot of good Kenyans who should bring out the best in me.
"It's my last race of the year and I'm feeling strong and ready to dig deep."

Memory solution addressing power and security problems in embedded designs
Post a comment
Wireless monitoring devices and digital wallets are creating a new category of battery-powered system on chip (SoC) designs. With embedded processing capability and wireless connectivity, these SoCs demand months or years of operation without recharge or battery swap. This article will examine the memory requirementsstatic RAM (SRAM), read only (ROM), and non-volatile memory (NVM)of these SoCs and offer an innovative solution to accommodate the new constraints of this category of design.
The world market for remote monitoring services was worth more than $29 billion in 2011, equivalent to $2.4 billion in recurring monthly revenues (RMR) across the year, according to the IMS Research's report The World Market for Remote Monitoring Service 2012 Edition1. The Wellingborough, England, Research Firm estimated that, in the same year, 54 million customer locations were provided with services such as alarm and remote video monitoring, physical access control and fire detection, and Personal Emergency Response Services. IMS Research also states that 14 million wearable devices were shipped in 2011 and the market is on track to generate a minimum revenue opportunity of $6 billion by 2016 in its "World Market for Wearable TechnologyA Quantitative Market Assessment2012"2 report.
Mobile financial transactions have experienced fits and start as financial institutions battled communications service providers and handset suppliers over who would do what. However, in the report, Mobile Financial ServicesA Technology and Market Analysis,3 research firm Frost & Sullivan states that near field communications (NFC)-based mobile commerce is approaching a tipping point, thanks to more NFC-enabled mobile devices and growing partnerships between telecom service providers and financial institutions. These partnerships encourage semiconductor vendors, mobile device manufacturers, and mobile operators to proliferate more NFC-enabled mobile devices to the market.
Emerging design constraints
Two critical design elements will influence the functionality of wireless devices providing remote monitoring and financial transactions. Foremost is power as users will expect these devices to be always performing their tasks. Just as a leather wallet can be accessed as long as it has funds, NFC-enabled digital wallet must operate even if mobile phone power has run out. Users of remote monitoring devices will have the same instant-on expectation.
The second critical design element is security, both from non-invasive and invasive tampering as well as from remote attacks. Security concerns are obvious for financial transactions. Lost or stolen phones can be hacked to remove digital funds as well as the owners identity; the same vulnerability exists from cyber hackers. Less obvious, but just as important to the OEM, are algorithm intellectual property theft and counterfeit prevention.
Remote monitoring devices are increasingly being wirelessly connected to the cloud, such as the Microsoft HealthVault that accepts health and fitness data from heart rate watches, blood pressure monitors, etc. As medical care begins treating more of the aging population in homes rather than in hospitals, digital monitoring of patients vital signs and prescription drug use will need to be secure. Hacking into a system where monitoring devices upload vital health information to the cloud leaves users vulnerable.

To gain a better understanding of the complexities and inefficiencies inherent in modern "treasury onboarding," Treasury Strategies recently undertook a survey, commissioned by WAUSAU Financial Systems, a vendor of solutions for payments and receivables processing. The survey gauged the opinions of both banks and corporate users of banking services about the process through which banks sell and then implement new services for corporate clients. Corporate treasurers may not be surprised to learn that the businesses outside the financial services sector see more problems with the process than do their banks.
Treasury Strategies asked the corporate respondents how frequently they face issues such as a lack of visibility into the implementation process, unnecessarily long or inefficient implementations, and poor communication with the bank. "All of those problems were rated above a 3 out of 5, with 5 meaning 'very often,'" says Chris Zegal, vice president of marketing at WAUSAU. "An issue rated 3 probably occurs fairly often." The average frequency rating that large companies assigned to the problem of lacking a clear view into the implementation's status was 3.8, and these organizations experience communication problems at a frequency of 3.5 (see Figure 1). "Since all of these are rated above a 3, the companies probably have some sort of challenge in every implementation. It seems like problems are the norm rather than the exception," Zegal adds.
Survey respondents who work for banks gave these issues considerably lower frequency ratings than did the corporate respondents. For example, large banks scored "customer is dissatisfied with communication" at 2.5, compared with the 3.5 that companies gave "poor communication with bank." As Zegal interprets this result: "The banks know they have these challenges, but they don't think they happen as frequently as the corporations think they do."
The survey also asked companies which banking services are most painful to implement. Lockbox services ranked first, but many respondents indicated that their organization has also struggled to get up to speed with online banking, Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions, remote deposit, and wire transfers (see Figure 2). All except wholesale lockbox services are less painful for larger companies than for smaller businesses—presumably because larger organizations have more resources to devote to implementation.
"Companies want to go live with these services quickly and easily," says Joe Pitzo, vice president, paperless enterprise solutions, for WAUSAU. "It should be painless. And what we see in this survey is that that isn't always the case."
"The expectations of companies today are much like those of consumers," Pitzo adds. "They want to be kept up to date throughout the entire process, from sales through delivery and training on new services. They get that type of notification on UPS and FedEx deliveries. Even with food deliveries you're kept up to date. And treasurers expect a similar response from their financial institutions when they're signing up for services."

Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
Hi everyone. This is my first post. I'm a writing some stories and articles so I thought this would be a good forum to ask about certain things so I can get things right. Anyway this is my first question.
The human body generates an electromagnetic field, and this field can be detected with certan electromagnetic field meters. Waht I am wondering, how large and powerful is this field, do certain body parts generate more powerful fields than others, and does movement in the body effect the field strength.
Also, would you be able to point be in a direction, either in print or online, where I might be able to research this more?
Thanks much!
I can't give you exact figures, but it is not very strong. Most people can't detect other people's electrical fields unless they are less than a foot away. Trained "experts" in the ability might sometimes detect someone within five feet. As it is, all matter has an electrical field. It is just that our fields are slightly amplified by the electricity in our nervous system, but just barely.
If our electric fields were strong enough, pocket compasses would be useless from the interference.

Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
i found this because i am looking for a picture of maby how big these electromagnetic fields are. then i saw the responses to this post... the guy who asked the question must have been thoroughly disappointed with the responses maby that's why his account lasted only 3 days... the electromagnetic field around your heart can be detected from several feet away, as cool as that is i really don't think this would affect any compass because the electromagnetic field of the earth can be detected at least as far away as the moon is... that is really powerful. you might not notice it but you are feeling the earths magnetic feild right now, unless you are crawling around on your ceiling or holding on to a tree for dear life. yet somehow you are not so bound up by gravity that you cant easily jump. sometimes i feel the electromagnetic feild of my hands but i can resist that with nearly the same ease of standing up, weird.
here is a search for electromagnetic feild on The heartmath website

Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
It is big news that Industrial Equipments can affect living thing which has prolong contact with it. A lot of Industrial Equipments is in everyday use and in near places where people live and stay like homes and buildings. Industrial Equipment usage cannot be stop because it is already part of everyone's every day way of life.
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
Electromagnetic's - you have to love it. Its surely close to all of our hearts. There are now foreseeable i pods running on nano-generators powered by cardiac electric activity and not requiring batteries!! Now if they can just get an automobile...
SEE: http://www.reghardware.com/2011/03/30/n ... arge_ipod/
The fields are weak, but can be detected with specialized equipment, including by animals such as sharks (it would be stronger in salt water).
There is very little evidence demonstrating effects of extrinsic fields on human health (or some, if you include all microwave fields). A study of electrical line workers found that they had no extra risks (beyond things like electrocution and falls) compared to a well-selected group of controls. In fact, they were healthier, probably due to the physical, outdoor nature of their jobs (that was the conclusion of the researchers).
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
My magnetic field is very strong,you can feel it very strongly,willing to help you research on it.My mail address is PM instead.

Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
I've studied different sciences and none of them led me to the answer of this question I found in my own body. It's not exactly visible, or at least not with the equipment we know of but it's absolutely tangible. There's no doubt in my mind. I began meditating and soon after I discovered some very real feelings of electricity in certain areas of my body. After some more research I found names for these areas called Chakras.
My experience is hard to put into words but all I can say is that the human body is more powerfully electric than we can even imagine. My journey is one that I hope every person can experience. If you'd like to feel how electromagnetic your body really is then sit quietly and listen to what it has to say. Here's a great link that discusses the electromagnetism of the heart (which is the center Chakra) and how it circulates energy.

Plus this one I'd like to add:
Hope this helps!
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
HI all,
electromagnetic fields generated by human body, JJrakman started this conversation with few questions almost 6 years back. Still now exact answer. Like him, I am also having same questions as my own body generation some sort of energy, i feel it. After some research I was came to know that it is electromagnetic field generated by body few yeas age. Still I am having so many doubts. Hope this forum will give few answers. Please friends, participate in this conversation, so that we can explore/share our knowledge, may give at least few solutions to the world.
As per my observation,
* It is generated by our heart, brain, nervous system, may be glands and even skin. I would like to call this energy as Bio-Electromagnetic field (BEMF). I observed this fields mostly around head, ear ends, palms and feet (where the body have more nerve connection ends).
* Especially i feel more when I lay down on bed to sleep, when more thinking or planning alone.
* Some times I feel like something is twisting me around, and sometimes some kind of layer wrapped my hole body
* Its generation related to temperature
I think, BEMF show negative effects to one's body. I know any emf can show negative effect, but I am indicating in a way that, BEMF may show its effects related to change our way of behavior, unable to think properly, unable to perform upto one's own levels, hormonal system can get effect, etc
What you say guys.... May I know know what is the exact point/reason for generation of this field. cont we obstacle with any technique ?
waiting for your replay
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
Questions and answers...
From what I have researched, the human body produces more positive than negative magnetic fields. Harmful pathogens ie virus, bacteria, fungi, cancer mimic the positive magnetic field with greater strength and thus win out against the weaker natural positive magnetic field of the human organism. Thus external negative magnetic fields have been found to have great therapeutic effects on the human body when applied to affected areas. In other sources, a combination of positive and negative magnetic fields is applied therapeutically, with less gauss then uniquely negative fields, to provide beneficial outcomes.
The human body produces EMF - as the last person posted: B-EMF, for biological electro magnetic field. I am interested in not only how EMF affects the body, but how much and what kind of BEMF the body emits at different points (taking into account previously posted observations of increased EMF sensation at nerve saturated clusters ie/ head, hands, feet). I thus take this string of comments back up to our title: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body.
More than one person here has mentioned feeling the EMF of their own body. I have followed simple exercises in some reading to come to the same conclusion: repeated slow pushing of the 2 hands towards each other in a gradual prayer position will demonstrate the feeling of [i]resistance[i] (electrical resistance) over a slow repeated course from 10-20 times. I'd like to know whether such a magnetic field can be measured, and what sources would be best for further research, in addition to whether there is a thermal component when measuring BEMF.
This said, I have questions about where and how negative vs positive magnetic fields are found and measured. Of notable interest is the magnetic field formed by the widely used DC (directed current) in our electrical systems, and of course how the human body figures into all of these questions.
Forgive my pedantry, writing in science blogs makes me feel very big bang... theoretically, of course.
SAINA - would love to have some of your sources: found your comments very interesting.
KTEA - what you are feeling may not be entirely negative. there may be a positive effect to all of it.
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
There are many research institutes investigating the electromagnetic fields both within the human entity, but also in our environment. Some "stray" fields have very deleterious ramifications and, at the least, can disrupt one's own field. Obviously, the medical community recognizes such a field(s) in the human body, i.e. EKG.
We are such an institute, ISHSEF (Institute for Studying the Human Spirit as an Electromagnetic Field). Our research delves into human to human relationships as did some of our forerunners: Einstein, for example. We also seek to understand our relationship to not only The Creator, but also this creation we live on, Earth.
The fields can be examined both qualitatively and quantitatively (this faction (measurement) is still being investigated as rather new.)Consider for pondering, what draws or repels one human from another. Most believe it to be sexual. We do not totally concur. Might it be spiritually or electromagnetically?
This genre of study is most probably the venue for the control and prevention of most "disease." Consider that a healthy metabolism which incorporates efficient electrolysis in the cellular/systemic human body benefits immensely from balanced ingestion of electrolyte type substances and cell-building proteins. Our major problem with health is fuel intake and its usage.
One final thought: God said, "Let there be light" and blew life into the human. Light is most commonly produced by electron movement. Food for thought.

Man rescued after apparently fleeing cops, jumping into Rock River
JANESVILLE—The Janesville Police Department and Janesville Fire Department rescued a man from the Rock River when he jumped in after being pulled over by police Tuesday night.
Police pulled Bradley A. Bobzien, 52, over near the intersection of Centerway and North Main Street at 6:06 p.m. after police recognized the vehicle as being one described in an earlier incident. Bobzien, one of an unknown number of occupants in the vehicle, then exited and ran from police, Lt. Terry Sheridan said.
Police chased the man on foot before he jumped into the river and floated south.
Bobzien,�1210 Kellogg Ave., No. 6, Janesville, was allegedly running because he did not want to be arrested on an outstanding warrant for battery, according to a police department alert.
He was later rescued from the river south of the Milwaukee Street Bridge at about 6:39 p.m.
Firefighters were called to the scene at 6:09 p.m., a Rock County 911 Communications shift supervisor said.
Rescuers threw�Bobzien a rope and life jacket, but he had difficulty holding on to both. A ladder was lowered into the water, and he slowly climbed out, a Gazette reporter on the scene said.
Sheridan said�Bobzien was the driver of the vehicle and that alcohol was involved in the incident.
Jasmine Brown, a student at Dance Attitudes, 10 S. Main St., watched the incident unfold through the studio's window. She said she saw the man run from police, climb on top of the Milwaukee Street Bridge ledge and jump in.
Another Gazette reporter was at the Janesville Athletic Club, 15 W. Milwaukee St., and saw the man "slowly climb out" from the river and over the bridge ledge.
Gym-goers and employees at the athletic club were watching the scene unfold through the windows that face the river.
Bobzien emerged from the water wearing a girl's varsity sweatshirt, shorts and socks, but he was missing his shoes.
He was taken to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center, Janesville, for treatment related to the time he was in the water.
He is being held at the Rock County Jail on the outstanding warrant.�
He was arrested for resisting an officer, operating after revocation, and the Department of Corrections warrant for battery.
