Janesville students attending white privilege conference Wednesday
JANESVILLE— Neil Deupree, former pastor and officer on the Diversity Action Team of Rock County, believes this week's White Privilege Conference in Madison will go a long way to teach middle and high school students the importance of diversity and anti-racism.
"The point of the conference is to remind people our society is built on an invisible knapsack of white privilege, meaning that we carry perks we don't know about because we can't see them," Deupree said
Shopping at a department store without being watched by clerks or going to a barbershop and knowing the barber will know how to cut your hair are just two examples of little things that add up, Deupree said.
"The conference keeps that in front of people," Deupree said. "These are things many people may not even realize."
The event has drawn criticism from some as being biased and an improper use of taxpayer dollars.
A Fox News report says "Wisconsin taxpayers could be forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars to help fund" the conference.
Deupree said issues of race are not behind us.
"I personally believe when we have a conference we are saying, 'No, it's not over.' Our society still has many aspects that are built-in to put white people on top. Some people would rather believe that's not the case," he said.
About 2,400 people are expected to attend the conference, Deupree said.
Yolanda Cargile, director of at-risk and multicultural programs for the Janesville School District, said 92 students and 12 staff will attend the conference, which runs from Wednesday through Saturday. Janesville middle and high school students will be attending Wednesday's session.
"It aligns with board goals," Cargile said. "It provides multiple opportunities for growth for both students and staff."
The trip will be funded by a Safe and Supportive Schools grant and not local dollars, Cargile said. The conference aligns with the district's plan to reduce the achievement gap between whites and minorities, Cargile said.
The first White Privilege Conference was held 15 years ago in Iowa. It was created by Eddie Moore Jr. with the goal of examining "challenging concepts of privilege and oppression" and offering "solutions and team building strategies to work toward a more equitable world," according to the event's website.
It is "not a conference designed to attack, degrade or beat up on white folks" and is "not a conference designed to rally white supremacist groups", according to the website.
Deupree hopes the conference encourages people to get involved in ending discrimination and making society more open at a local level.
"People are afraid this is brainwashing students, but this is another way of giving them a look at the society they live in," Deupree said. "It teaches students to look at many different points of view."
According to Janesville School District's 2012-13 report card from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, 76 percent of white students show some mastery of reading skills. The number drops to 71 percent for Hispanic students and 68 percent for African-Americans district-wide. In math, 91 percent of white students show some mastery, 89 percent of Hispanics and 80 percent of African-Americans.
Cargile said the conference provides students and staff with the opportunity to learn about diversity, and she's hopeful they will come back and share what they learned.
"It provides leadership opportunities for students," Cargile said. "It provides multiple opportunities for growth. I hope they take home to family and friends what they've learned."
"With it being so close this year, we couldn't pass on it," Cargile said.

In business, risk is necessary. Risk is inherent in all of a company's efforts to execute and to meet its goals. The amount of risk a company takes on determines how flexible it can be; how easily it can meet a particular growth target; and which measured, transparent, and calculated approach it should use to get to that target. So, in effect, an organization's tolerance—or appetite—for risk determines how far it's able to go based on market conditions and the external environment.
Risk management is not about eliminating risk. The purpose is to understand how much risk the company is facing and how it can reduce that risk to an acceptable threshold. Some businesses are turning to data analytics technologies for new insights into where they face risks and what they can do to mitigate those that exceed their basic tolerance.
Historically, companies have identified assets as risky or as critical, but they have not been able to quantify the value or liability associated with the risks to a particular asset. In other words, they've rated risk in terms of severity but haven't been able to pin it to a specific dollar amount. For many companies, this limitation has led to challenges in fully integrating risk management into high-level decision-making. Traditionally, risk data has been reported in a very technical language that executives don't understand. Risk analytics changes that by translating risk calculations into executives' language, where everything is measured in dollars.
What Is Risk Analytics?
Risk analytics technologies define a company's liability—which is to say, the amount of money it will have to spend in case of a particular event—along with the likelihood that the event will occur. Thus, risk analytics enables businesses to quantify the true risk-based liability that they own in each asset. Eventually, analytics processes will help companies determine how critical an asset is and whether they should assume the risk outright or take steps to reduce it to a level they're comfortable with.
Consider, for example, cyber-risk insurance. A few insurance companies offer cyber insurance for financial institutions; however, they lack solid data for determining the true liability they're assuming by insuring a particular institution against cyber threats. Today, cyber criminals take several forms. They're no longer just individuals working out of their parents' basements; state-sponsored, organized attacks also pose a risk. Nevertheless, insurance companies that are determining pricing for cyber-insurance coverage generally ask prospective customers only around 10 questions before determining which coverage and premium options to offer. The result is often coverage that doesn't align closely with the needs of the insured and that may not be priced appropriately. Many large financial institutions have found that their insurance options for cyber crimes are insufficient.
However, some insurance companies have begun using risk analytics to make better decisions around coverage and pricing. They're using these technologies to:
- Establish the value of each information or IT asset—such as a customer record or a critical application that processes billions of dollars in transactions on a nightly basis—by bringing in data from systems such as asset databases, Excel spreadsheets, data classification and inventory systems, and survey tools.
- Estimate liability or cost in the event of risk exposure or a compromise of the asset (e.g., customer record stolen, critical application unavailable).
- Run analyses of the probability that any of a variety of scenarios will occur, using the insured's information security, operational, compliance, performance, and threat intelligence data.
- Pull together all of this information to build a risk posture scorecard for the organization.
By using risk analytics, insurance providers can offer products that more precisely match the needs of customers with a range of different profiles, and they can ensure that premiums and policy terms accurately reflect the level of risk they are taking on with each new customer.
Better Reporting, Better Decision-Making
Analytics software can make the risks a company faces both more transparent and easier to measure. By monitoring more metrics, providing insights into trends, and supporting risk forecasting, a risk analytics platform can help risk and finance managers, as well as business executives, to better understand their company's risk exposures.
Today, most companies' performance reporting is sorely lacking in business context. Reports explain "what" but fail to address questions of "how" or "why." Their content is very technical in nature, and they fail to offer appropriate correlations to business drivers and objectives. Hence, these reports are often overlooked or ignored. For example, many businesses report to the board on data security, but they do so using only technical terminology. They discuss the number of breaches the company has experienced in a certain time frame and the number of threats found and addressed, but they offer no insights into how the business should react or what it can do to remediate the risks.
In contrast, a report based on risk analytics technology might explain the critical security risks to the business in terms of costs and probabilities, and it might prioritize recommendations for protecting the business, drawing on analyses of the likelihood and consequences of myriad very specific threats. The executives who rely on this type of report can better understand their business's risks and can make more informed business decisions.
Risk Analytics for Growth
Most companies that deploy risk analytics use the technology to support their growth objectives. They evaluate the degree to which they should be willing to assume more risk in exchange for the prospect of higher returns.
Suppose that Acme Corp. is considering buying another company, and its managers want to evaluate the costs associated with the prospective acquisition. In determining whether to merge critical applications and processes, they need to answer these questions: What risks would we incur if we brought the processes in-house? What risks would we face if we outsourced them? What risks would we incur by acquiring the company and laying off many of its employees? What risks would we inherit by purchasing this company's technology assets? Would changing the acquired company's technology infrastructure pose a significant risk or have a significant impact on the value proposition? Acme managers can use risk analytics software to answer these (and many related) questions, as well as to determine the optimal way to integrate the acquiree's IT systems into the larger organizational infrastructure.
A risk analytics solution would enable Acme to evaluate the prospective acquisition's overall risk posture and to analyze different scenarios using data on HR (e.g., employee tenure by job function), compliance and controls assurance levels, country or geographical risk, the criticality of products and services, IT and data security supports (including data center security provided by third-party vendors), etc. The risk analytics software could draw on all this information to:
- calculate the risk posed to a business process or product line by a particular job function at a certain skill level in a given country or region;
- measure the effectiveness of controls, including those around employee background checks, data privacy, training, and awareness;
- rank different risks across various scenarios for better comparison; and
- make recommendations for mitigation, remediation, and/or acceptance of risk.
Such insights would enable Acme's business managers to make much better-informed strategic decisions about key aspects of the acquisition.
Risk Analytics for Cost Savings
Over the past five to six years, many businesses have weathered the economic downturn in cost-saving mode. They haven't had cash to spend on growth, so they've focused on streamlining operations to become more efficient. Now some of these same organizations are using risk analytics as a tool to reduce waste and eliminate redundancies in resources or effort. Essentially they are using insights into risk to streamline their processes and save money. The biggest opportunity for cost savings with risk analytics solutions comes from its support for companies' efforts to effectively prioritize risks. Businesses can use the technology's analyses to determine which risks actually matter to the business, which risks they should remediate, and which risks are worth attempting to eliminate completely.
This is currently an area of great potential for financial services firms. As they've worked to comply with an onslaught of new regulations, many financial services businesses have implemented an assortment of siloed controls. The result has been a set of inefficient, very high-cost processes. At the same time, their controls are largely ineffective because they're not interconnected; instead, many overlap and some even conflict with other internal controls. A firm in this situation can take a risk-based approach to determine which compliance processes to adopt based on the business's needs and risk appetite. Moreover, they can use risk analytics reporting to show regulators and auditors why they've accepted some level of risk in certain areas, rather than trying to eliminate all risks.
Embracing Analytics—and Embracing Risk
Risk in business is essential. By understanding and embracing the risk inherent in each of its many assets, a company can differentiate itself and grow more rapidly than its competitors can. Businesses that embrace risk analytics get better insights into the risks they own, which enables managers to make better-informed decisions. The alternative is to ignore risk as a factor when making business decisions, and doing that may be the biggest risk of all.
Businesses that do not embrace risk handicap themselves in their efforts to grow and achieve specific goals. They run the risk of wasting time, money, and resources on things that don't matter. The bottom line: You cannot be competitive without taking risks—and you can't be smart about the risks you take if you don't understand both the probability that various scenarios will occur and the costs to the corporation if they do.

U.S. banks' overseas swaps trades face new curbs under a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plan adopted today, even as some members warned the regulation may not go far enough to rein in recent Wall Street efforts to escape the Dodd-Frank Act.
The SEC voted 5-0 to extend the agency's rules to transactions executed by foreign divisions of banks, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., when the affiliate's trades are legally guaranteed by the parent company. The new rule comes as Wall Street has removed those guarantees to avoid Dodd-Frank Act regulations issued by another regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
"The recent financial crisis is replete with examples of firms rescuing their affiliates," Commissioner Kara Stein said before the vote."Firms do not jettison them off to fend for themselves in times of crisis; they bail them out."
U.S. regulators have faced a backlash from European and Asian authorities for overreaching in their desire to apply Dodd-Frank rules overseas. Meanwhile, Wall Street lobbying organizations have sued the CFTC, which is the primary U.S. regulator of derivatives, to limit the international scope of the agency's power.
"The final rules and guidance have been substantially strengthened from our 2013 proposal to better protect the U.S. financial system from the risks that can be posed by security-based swap activity," SEC Chair Mary Jo White said at a public meeting.
Cross-border application of U.S. derivatives rules is one of the most contentious features of Dodd-Frank, the regulatory expansion enacted after the 2008 credit crisis. The law gave the SEC authority over trading in equity and some credit-default swaps, about 5 percent of U.S. swaps, while the CFTC oversees the rest: swaps on interest rates, currencies, and credit indexes.
David Felsenthal, a New York-based partner at the Clifford Chance law firm, said the split oversight could cause problems for credit-default swaps.
"It will be very difficult if there is any inconsistency to try to mesh the two markets together," Felsenthal said in a phone interview.
The SEC's final rules change its earlier approach to overseeing U.S. banks' overseas affiliates. Instead of exempting those entities from the rules, they will now come under the regulations when their overseas trades are guaranteed by a U.S. parent. A guarantee is "a legally enforceable right" that is "in whole or in part, oral or written, by contract or statute," White said.
Rule Weakened
"To the extent that the new financial arrangements do not create a legally enforceable right of resource against a U.S. person, our rules may not bring these affiliates within our regulatory oversight," White said.
The SEC also weakened the rules by not including a requirement to regulate swaps trades conducted in the U.S. by foreign banks and other overseas entities. The SEC said it would seek additional comment before adopting or rejecting the rule.
Critics of the SEC's approach faulted the agency last year for taking a different approach than the CFTC, which oversees about 95 percent of the U.S. swaps market. Others said the SEC's strategy would allow banks to escape regulation by moving more swaps deals offshore, which would raise the risk that an affiliate's collapse could harm the U.S. parent company.
Advocates of stricter regulation had urged the SEC to expand its authority over U.S. banks' swaps trading abroad. The agency should have broadened its definition of guaranteed trades to include those with the "implicit" backing of a U.S. parent company, according to groups such as Better Markets, a Washington-based non-profit that advocates for tougher financial regulation.
"They have seen how Wall Street has evaded the CFTC's rules since last July," said Dennis Kelleher, president of Better Markets. "We have spent hours with the SEC staff discussing this and a straightforward solution: Directly prohibit de facto guarantees, Wall Street's latest tactic to avoid sensible and necessary rules."
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which regulates Wall Street banks, has said it is monitoring the move by banks to remove parent guarantees from affiliates or specific transactions so they can trade in the interdealer market free of many Dodd-Frank restrictions. The CFTC is reviewing the overseas changes and analyzing whether there is "evasive activity under way," Commissioner Mark P. Wetjen said on May 14.
Market Fracturing
Under CFTC guidelines, overseas affiliates that lack a parent guarantee fall under fewer restrictions than do foreign branches or guaranteed affiliates of U.S. banks. As a result, the swaps market is fracturing, with trades in the U.S. falling under Dodd-Frank and trades elsewhere subject to local laws.
Trades with non-U.S. participants are occurring off of the new Dodd-Frank swap-execution facilities because they are being done by the non-guaranteed subsidiaries, John Nixon, an executive at London-based ICAP Plc, the world's largest interdealer broker, said at a CFTC advisory meeting on May 21.
The U.S. House voted 265-144 to approve legislation yesterday that would restrict the CFTC's ability to impose rules overseas, among other changes to the agency's authority over agriculture, energy, and financial markets.

I see your Institute is brand new, isn't it? Why don't you apply for grant from some real government agency or private institution? They wouldn't give you any dolar, would they? I'm not that much surprised you are in Texas, although your location in middle of nothing is little alarming.
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
We are "new" if you discount that most of our staff is native American (Cherokee), therefore our "earth consciousness" is not new.
We would love a monetary boost for our research. As to our pastoral setting, what better place to be unencumbered by traffic, sirens, and mayhem of the city. We look out the windows to see deer and squirrels playing to a beautiful sunrise.
Our research has already provided nearly 500 pages of technical documentation and, with some additional equipment, could provide a foundation for the "cure" of most "disease." Electromagetism is the key to the planet we live on.
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
Here is an intriguing, albeit small, study designed to measure the biomagnetic field emitted of two individuals, showing that an extremely strong magnetic field was emitted by the two individuals during oriental breathing exercises: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9051169
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
I'd like to know if there's a study of human-generated electromagnetic fields' effect on technology -- electronics, such as computers, cell phones, tvs, software......
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
I'm wondering if electromagnetic field generated by the human body can effect the operation of computers and other electronics. I'm trying to come up with an explanation of why most electronics do not last very long for me. I don't do anything strange on the computer--I'm pretty mainstream, yet I need to replace my computer about every 2 years. I experience some very unusual situations on my computers--programs shutting down for no reason, various alerts that make no sense, and lots of other things. My cell phone--as basic as it is wears out faster than anyone else's! There was a time some years ago when light bulbs burned out as soon as I walked into a room and television and radio stations were static. I think I'm a pretty stable person, but this electromagnetic issue, if it really is, interferes with my life!
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
I'm looking for scientific information to support what I experience.
I hypothesize that learning about viruses/spyware/adware and how to get rid of and avoid getting them will fix quite a few of your computer problems.
In response to your third post: science does not relate to personal goals. You do not look for scientific information to "support" something, but rather to find out whether it can be supported or not. If you have already decided what your answer is, then you are just trying to use "science" as an argument rather than trying to actually determine the truth.
I would also caution you (since it is a common trap) that memory and/or personal anecdote is generally highly unreliable as a source of evidence due to factors such as selectivity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias).

Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
I found this forum when I googled "humans giving off electrical fields". A couple weeks ago, something weird happened and last night and this morning, more weird stuff happened.
A couple weeks ago, I was feeling really good about myself. I had gotten a facial the day before and I knew I looked good. My neighbor said I was "glowing." The radio in the car just up and quit working. My husband checked it out and couldn't find a dead fuse, but it started working again when he was messing with it.
Last night, I was very upset about something. I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with the lights of my overhead fan turning on and off by themselves. Three lights. On my way to work, the volume of the radio in my car [same car] started increasing and decreasing randomly.
Re: Electromagnetic fields generated by the human body
It seems... once again, I have... ended up on a forum where people report interference with electrical appliances (and I wasn't even looking for that sort of thing - this is like sixth or so time). Which is the reason why I created this thread here, as I was looking for the specific mechanism.
I know this - emotions trigger it off (so anger, stress, depression etc all seem to have effects), certain things make it worse (excessive amounts of caffine, smoking, sugar, and apparently alcohol). I personally thought it was to do with an electro-chemical reaction involving electrolytes, with positive/negative ions being part of the mechanism (which would explain why you get headaches before rainstorms, around certain electronics, etc). Positive ions increase serotonin, stress also increases serotonin - which is what leads me to suspect the process is somehow reversable.
I have a partial but incomplete theory on how the mechanism works (involving negative ions) to disrupt electronics, with a demonstration of the negative ions conducting through my body to disrupt the electronic piece of equipment:
This would explain the static shocks the lady was giving other people, as when a sufficient amount of negative ions generate (as anyone who has held their hand over a negative ion generator can state), you get a electric shocks from any surface you touch - including other people. My theory is some people are able to either A) generate a negative ion charge (given the electro-chemical capabilities of the body is not in the slightest bit absurd given the human body can hold a charge - see the 'human-body model'), or B) have a better ability to absorb already available negative ions from their surroundings (which would explain the instances of people reporting electric shocks only during rainstorms).
If negative ions (as demonstrated in the video), can disrupt electronics, and people can build up a negative ion charge, then it's entirely possible that a person could disrupt electronics with a self-generated negative ion charge of sorts.
If you think that to be absurd, consider this (it will make you laugh but note the voltage and damages):
However, the theory is largely incomplete and requires additional refinement. But hey, what else can I do without a lab, a group of people who actually experience the event and some funding?

Police warn about north side burglaries
JANESVILLE—Police are alarmed by the number of burglaries to homes on the north side of Janesville and warn residents to lock their doors and report suspicious people to help prevent the crimes.
Thieves started by focusing on a couple of subdivisions west of Milton Avenue and north of Highway 14, Detective Chris Buescher said, but they have expanded to cover more territory.
Now, police are seeing burglaries and thefts from cars all over neighborhoods north of Highway 14 in the area between West Rotamer Road and Harmony Town Hall Road, Buescher said.
He estimated there have been six break-ins around that area since August.
Many of the burglaries have been late at night while residents are home, Buescher said, and that concerns police.
"It kind of ups the ante," he said. "It just takes it to a different level when you're entering a home when there's people inside."
Police remind residents to keep their doors locked and garage doors closed and to not forget to lock access doors from garages to houses.
Buescher also encouraged residents to tell police of any suspicious people they might see around the neighborhoods, which he said are "typically quiet."

Delavan man charged with first-degree intentional homicide in fatal stabbing
ELKHORN—Rafael Olivarez's socks were soaked in blood, and his clothing, hands and face were covered in blood when a Delavan police officer arrived at an apartment early Sunday morning, a criminal complaint states.
Olivarez's cousin, Ivan Guerrero, was laying on his back outside in the grass covered in blood. A trail of blood ran from Guerrero to the door of the apartment, where police found a "pool of blood," according to the complaint filed Wednesday afternoon.
Olivarez, 39, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide. He is accused of stabbing to death Guerrero, 31, at Guerrero's apartment at 509 Lawson School Road, Delavan.
An officer said Guerrero was "unable to respond and was breathing slow, shallow breaths" when officers arrived at 3:17 a.m., according to the complaint.�
The complaint was filed a few hours before Olivarez's appearance Wednesday afternoon at the Walworth County Judicial Center.
A $1 million cash bond was set Tuesday for Olivarez. He is being held at the Walworth County Jail.
Guerrero had a "large penetrating stab wound to the upper abdominal area," Walworth County District Attorney Daniel Necci said at a Tuesday morning court appearance, according to a transcript of the hearing.
The wound was about five inches long, two inches wide, and deep enough to expose tissue, the complaint states.
Olivarez was taken into custody, and Guerrero was taken to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville, where he died.
The Monday autopsy revealed he died from severe blood loss caused by multiple stab wounds, the complaint states.
Early Sunday morning, a family argument escalated, and Olivarez, 51 1/2 E. Walworth Ave., Delavan, stabbed Guerrero, Delavan Police Chief O'Neill said Monday.
An officer spoke to Guerrero's wife, Brenda Garcia, who said at some point in the evening Olivarez "became belligerent with Guerrero" and saw Olivarez try to attack Olivarez, according to the complaint.�
Garcia attempted to intervene, but she was thrown aside by Olivarez. That is when she saw Olivarez take a kitchen knife and stab Guerrero, according to the complaint.
Olivarez's preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 14.

Global Environmental Change
Discussion of the distribution and abundance of living organisms and how these properties are affected by interactions between the organisms and their environment
Moderator: BioTeam
Our environment is changing
Our environment is changing that's a fact.
We know that it all started when industrial revolution began. People started to use non-renewable resources such as fuel, coals and minerals instead of the renewable resources because of the obvious reason non-renewable resources helped them a lot especially in transportation and in machineries. The demand of these resources increase. So what will the producers do? Of course they will also increase their "harvest" of fuel, coals, and minerals so they will earn more. And what will they use it for, for the future of their family. But come to think of it, did they even think of our future. Well, I don't have anything against it because what they have discovered is very useful in our daily living today. Because we want an easy life we just past the consequences on our environment.
Our environment increasingly changes because of the increasing rate of environmental pollution that we make everyday. Contamination of air, land, water, and others that can be polluted is caused by, of course our own human products. We have abused our resources such as fuel, coal, and minerals that started land pollution; industrial waste, sewage, chemical and agricultural wastes pollutes our water; and air pollution caused by carbon-dioxide emission of factories and cars. Greater awareness of health and environmental hazards has created pressure for laws that control the amount of released pollutants. The long-term effects of pollution are not yet precisely known, but it is widely believed by scientist that global warming is a threat to most forms of life on the planet. Global warming has started to affect our lifestyle not only here in the Philippines but also abroad. Our recent encounter into two strong typhoons has brought our country into its devastation. Many people lost their homes, important things and lives. And we all know that it is indeed one of the sign of global warming.
Our Environment Today
One of the principles of environment is said to be "your environment is you". This principle means that we are the one who is responsible for the environment. We are created to take care of our environment. As a Filipino, we are blessed with many natural resources. Here is an example of these resources :
As time goes by, just like the appliances and machines that we have, these resources are being depreciated. It is depreciated because these are being overused by the people around it. Also as today, many pollution are already present in our society and it is caused by humans. We are the only reason for these pollutions because we are only the one who is taking care or handling the environment. Some are just making buildings in the wrong place. Many people wrongly disposed their garbage. Many advanced technology affect the environment, example of it is the pollution coming from the cars. These pollutions is the cause of the climate change that is presently encountered here in the Philippines. One example of the effects of climate change is the recently typhoon that was named ondoy and pepeng. These typhoons affects many family in the Philippines. Many places were been flooded with not just water but with mud, maybe because of the dirty environment. Here are some pictures taken from typhoon ondoy and pepeng :
These are the effect of climate change that caused by the pollutions by humans.
As a human speaking to others, I realized the importance of the cleanliness of the environment after these calamities. I realized that we must start now to change our wrong doings in the environment, especially the wrong disposal of our garbage. These calamities would be serve as a lesson for us so we would not encounter it in the future. So start now or else all of us would suffer. It is now or never
"Don't we hear the beseeching voices around us? Or are we just deaf and numb to what nature say – enough! "
Years have been passed, trees grow taller; animals become stronger and wilder; humans turn more intelligent; and technology into progress. Aren't we fortunate enough to see these? More likely, something is in contrast to it -- "unfairness act of human".
Did we notice the statistical change all over the years on how destruction to environment increase? Or didn't we realize the air we breathe is becoming worst? Yet, did we show a little concern to our surroundings?
Green mountains; clear and clean water; relaxing air throughout the environment, these are what we felt before, not at present. So badly, we are now experiencing undesirable changes, but still we continue giving desperation to our Mother Earth.
Spill oil, throw garbage, give off harmful gases, cut trees, and kill animals. Are these acts satisfied us? Or are we meant to be born just to do these?
We've been humans classified as the powerful being and creation of God. Scientifically, we have the high intellectual abilities compared to other animals in this life bearing earth. We have also the emotions and acts to do superior all against odds. But have we been truly powerful in all phases? Definitely not. When nature's revenge burst, had we ever said we're winners over its dreadful power? Sad to say, we can't surpass its strength. We're defeated to it and this served as a punishment for destructive acts we did. But we didn't stop the abusement, we much led it to worst.
Is this our fate? Does responsibility to ourselves fading?
We, humans, powerful being, yet a deaf and a numb to the beseeching voices around us, saying – "ENOUGH!"

environmental pollution
Environmental Pollution
By rian21
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing humanity today. It causes global warming, destruction of the ozone layer, and the other potentially disastrous processes. Air, water, and soil- all harmed pollution- are necessary to the survival of all living things.
Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the amount of land available for growing food. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to our naturally beautiful world.
Everyone wants to reduce pollution. But the pollution problem is as complicated as it is serious. It is complicated because much pollution is caused by things that benefit people. For example, smoke from cars causes a large percentage of all air pollution. But the car provides transportation for millions of people. Factories discharge much of the material that pollutes air and water, but factories provide jobs for people and produce goods that people want.
Thus, to end or greatly reduce pollution immediately, people would have to stop using many things that benefit them. Most people do not want to do that, of course. But pollution can be gradually reduced in several ways. Scientists and engineers can work to find ways to lessen the amount of pollution that such things as cars and factories cause. Governments can pass and enforce laws that require businesses and individuals to stop certain polluting activities. And most importantly, individuals and groups of people can work to persuade their representatives in government, and also persuade businesses, to take action toward reducing pollution.
A Change
Why can't we observe that this world is getting worse. We human are abiding to demolish our environment.
Our world is now experiencing an abundance of changebut most of the it does not benefit humanity. Pollution, harmful chemicals,toxic waste and one of the most harmful things that have affected human is smoking. These are just some of the negative changes in our enviroment has omly gotten worst. Some of the changes are irreversable. Because se rely on our technology, we constantly put our environment at risk. Everytime we use our natural resources and dont replace them we are not benefiting our planet but quite opposite, harming it. Exmaples of it is deforestation. In deforestation, the soil we use becomes soft and unstable which may cause floodings and landslide. Over fishing may lead to imbalance of our water surroundings. Due to this unrihgteous doings, world hunger may occur.
Our environment needs more attention and cure because we are the only one who can make a significant change that can put it back to its original beauty cause we need to preserve this world for the sake of all individuals.
Environment; Nature Do Revenge too...
Environment; Nature Do Revenge too...
The only permanent thing here on earth is change. Every year, month, week, day, every hour and every minute, even every second we encounter change. How we can cope up with this every change is a challenge! Now, that we're here and alive in the 20th century, our environment is experiencing a simultaneous changes with enormous effects, few positive and many negative sides. These changes to the environment maybe brought by the environment to itself but definitely not to harm it instead to rejuvenate the wounds and scars that human brought to the environment.
The environment is created primarily to supply and support all the lives around it such as the animals whether aquatic, aerial, or terrestrial, plants and animals and most especially human. All the organisms and species that surround the environment draw their food, shelter, water, and even their living but with excessive, abusive and careless treatment to the environment, harmful and dreadful effects do occur.
Disastrous typhoons, earthquakes, hurricane and tornado, lightning and thunder, excessive floods and landslides are the few effects of the changes that human brought to the environment and even brought to themselves. Actually all the above mentioned are but just normal phenomena to the environment but with abnormal intensity, rate, magnitude and number of it, it became really harmful to everybody and causes a rapid increase in death rates whether of plants, animals and human.
Somehow, everything that had happen is just environment's way of saying that "I' am hurt," and "Stop everything that causes my hurting." In a way it is just but revenge to all the abusive things that human did for the benefit of him without thinking the effects and damage to the environment.
It is never too late for us to change our wrong doings and ask for forgiveness to the environment and nature. Like God, environment is also merciful. It can forgive anyone who repents. We need to change our inhuman acts for the good and betterment of all. Stop illegal logging and mining, dynamite fishing, hunting and eating of endangered species of animals, turning of agricultural lands to commercialized and industrialized facilities, the excessive use of CFC's, and many other more. Let's stop all these things and start to love and care nature. Let's apply the give and take relationship. If you give, you will take. If everybody gives love and affection to the environment, the environment will continue to support our living and it will be very possible for the next generation to experience and see nature. Even small act of kindness will mean to much to the environment such as planting trees in your own backyard, disposing garbage like candy wrappers to their right places instead of throwing it anywhere. Preserving the environment for the future generation is everybody's mission. Always remember, "Environment; Nature do revenge too!"
Environmental Change
"Change is the only thing that does not change in this world". As the earth continues to revolve, change continue to change, one of this changes is our environment. As we observed our society started from primitive and now we consider it as an urban society. Consider the Philippines, Before could say that it was a wonderful land and healthy and a wealthy natural resources, environmental problems and not our populated. Natural state also during primitive period very good compared today. But due to the human activities which changed and modified all of this, we suffered a lot today. Taller buildings, scattered squatter area, over populated, insufficient resources of human primary needs and environmental problems will be observed today. We are likely suffered from chronic and acute diseases such as respiratory problems because of million vehicles and other factories releasing dangerous smoke. Our soil, water and air become contaminated, polluted and therefore bad. In accordance with this, many natural processes including flashfloods, earthquakes and etc. will be experiencing. A tragic example of this occurred on day of Sept. 26, 2009 when typhoon Ondoy landed and destruct the area of NCR especially Metro Manila. Many infrastructure, establishments were destroyed and the worst, the lost of many lives. After this tragedy, it was followed by typhoon Pepeng, which destroyed the northern part of Luzon. Like typhoon Ondoy, it brought worst effect in the said area. Many properties, buildings, lives and etc. were lost. It is a sign of what we call a climate change.
As a Human, we are the one who responsible in taking care of our resources. Save Our Life, Save the Earth it's not too late.
As time passed by, the world changes. The survival life from primitive period up to now, the present Information and Globalization period has made spectacular changes in lifestyles as well as environment itself. New inventions had risen every centuries that made life easier and comfortable, work faster, and so many things that replaces human effort. But we didn't noticed as time keeps running our Mother Earth suffers in the side effects of our creation.
Life and Environmental changes of many kinds are accelerating worldwide posing significant challenges for humanity. Solutions are needed at any level, where physical and chemical features of the landscape, bio-systems, and human institutions interact.
Millions of people suffer in health illness and death attributed by the environmental factors, including climate change and pollution as it features in daily news of media and newspapers. Unsafe water, poor sanitation and hygiene as well as indoor and outdoor air pollution are all said to be killing people and preventing economic development. Increasing soil pollution, pesticides, hazardous waste and chemicals in food are significantly affecting health and economies. Environmental conditions like global warming has a major impact on health. For almost form of cancer, the risk of contracting this disease can be reduced if physical environments are safe for human habitation and food items are safe for consumption. It also leads to lowering yields of some crops and salination of coastal areas.
The problem of finding the best way to protect our environment is one of the most difficult to solve, unfortunately, fighting against pollution or save endangered species is not enough: we need a global environment strategy.
--Remembering the true meaning of conservation- a time of hope. Amidst the problems we are facing each day, we should not forget that there will still be a ray of light to guide us through the darkness.
Solution for the Destruction
Our environment is the place where living and non-living things naturally occur. We all know that we must take care of our environment and be a responsible citizen. But, as we look around in our surroundings, we can see that our environment was slowly destroyed because of us. A variety of environmental problems now affect our entire world. As globalization continues and the earth's natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems. Some of the largest problems now affecting the world and also affect the lives and health of their populations are Acid Rain, Air Pollution, Global Warming, the transboundary movements of Hazardous Wastes and Chemicals, Ozone Depletion, Smog, Water Pollution, Overpopulation, the loss of the planet's Biological Diversity and Rain Forest Destruction/Deforestation. All of these global environmental trends have long-term effects on people and societies. A very good example of the effects of these environmental problems was what happened in our country when typhoon "Ondoy" and "Pepeng" hit the Philippines. It was a disaster and nightmare to all the Filipinos affected by that calamity. It flooded in lots of cities and provinces in Luzon. The flood was very high that is why some of the places are still flooded. It destroyed a lot of properties, livelihood, and sadly it killed a lot of lives. These calamity causes fear to every one of us. But who shall we blame for these??? Of course we must put the blame on ourselves and not to others. It is our entire fault why these things our happening in our environment. We do not take care of our environment and we are irresponsible and selfish. These are the nature's revenge for all our irresponsibility and abuse. We do not know what will happen next. So, we must learn with all our mistakes and start to take care of our environment, be responsible and have a discipline. Every environmental problem has causes, numerous effects, and most importantly, a solution. And that solution is in our own hands, it must start with us.....We can still save our environment... We can save our world.... "It's never too late to do the right thing...."
Stop the Unwell Acts for the Betterment of Nature!
During the primitive time period,people enjoyed the abundance of the resources,fresh air,pristine water water and they lived peacefully.
Many years had passed,people started utilizing the earth's resources,hence, agricultural revolution existed. They'd cultivate plants. However, during this period,people started to clear and burn forests which we called as "Slash and Burn Technique" which causes the introduction of the depletion of wildlife animals.
Years later,people invented machines which started during 1700's. Why? Because they believed that machineries would help make work easier, lighter and faster. Since then, machineries were being used not only in many factories but also at home. As a result,many factories have been developed through the help of machines, however, on the other hand, the more factories developed, the more wastes were produced. As a matter of fact, those factories built nearby bodies of water caused the depletion of aquatic organisms due to the chemicals. Not only the aquatic organisms were affected but also the health of people thriving near to it.
However, people were not yet contented of their inventions. They wanted to have a better development and with this aim is the start of "Globalization or Innovation" which we are experiencing today. As people continuously innovating,an issue of overpopulation is also arising. In fact, our country is one of the most populated over other countries due to its rapidly increasing number of people. When we are to compare between past years' situation and today, there's really lot of changes. People today are enjoying the modernize lifestyle not thinking that they have forgotten Mother Earth. They are no longer protecting the earth, instead, they're making it worsen. Factories produce chemicals that will affect the ozone layer and eventually causes global warming. Moreover, people are getting lazy and irresponsible of throwing garbage and that was one of the causes that worsen the flood due to typhoon "Ondoy" two weeks ago. People are cutting trees instead of reforestation to avoid flash floods specially in rural areas. Because of the human practices,water, air and land are polluted. These are some of the unwell human acts that needs to be changed before it's too late because nature can do revenge too. Man is responsible of the destruction,hence, man should be responsible of saving the earth.

Environment- Climate Change
Climate change is already happening and represents one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet. The European Union is committed to working constructively for a global agreement to control climate change, and is leading the way by taking ambitious action of its own.The warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level. The Earth's average surface temperature has risen by 0.76° C since 1850. Most of the warming that has occurred over the last 50 years is very likely to have been caused by human activities. In its Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), published in 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that, without further action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the global average surface temperature is likely to rise by a further 1.8-4.0°C this century, and by up to 6.4°C in the worst case scenario. Even the lower end of this range would take the temperature increase since pre-industrial times above 2°C - the threshold beyond which irreversible and possibly catastrophic changes become far more likely.Projected global warming this century is likely to trigger serious consequences for mankind and other life forms, including a rise in sea levels of between 18 and 59 cm which will endanger coastal areas and small islands, and a greater frequency and severity of extreme weather events.Human activities that contribute to climate change include in particular the burning of fossil fuels, agriculture and land-use changes like deforestation. These cause emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main gas responsible for climate change, as well as of other 'greenhouse' gases. To bring climate change to a halt, global greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced significantly.
Environmeantal Changes and Effects
Isn't good to live in a clean environment? Eating clean food. breathing fresh air, drinking unpolluted water, swimming in a clean and unpolluted rivers and living in a good condition environment. But can we still live in this kind of environment? There are lots of environmental changes like climate change which we are now experiencing; too much rain fall or too hot which is we know that is not normal in our country. Climate change may increase the treat of some infectious and contagious diseases, mostly those diseases that appear in warm areas and are spread by mosquitoes and other insects. High temperature may lead to increasing in air and water pollution, which may danger to human health. We are also suffering from global warming , and what is this global warming? Global warming is the increase in the average temperature in Earth due to the greenhouse effect. These events are happening due to our irresponsible throwing of garbage , using too much technology which has directly e affects our atmosphere , cutting trees and fossils fuel burning. This Global warming affects the rising of sea level and extreme weather events. Mind you when typhoon Ondoy visit our country, look what happen, too much flood , diseases spread in every affected person. We must accept the fact that the responsible for these changes is human. Because of us we are suffering from the undesirable changes in our environment. Our environment is just giving back to us what we gave to it. Imagine , we are getting our daily needs in our environment but see how cruel we are? Instead of caring we are destroying our environment. Its a time for us to be responsible i order to save our environment and our lives.

Three interceptions power Warhawk win
WHITEWATER—After dropping a sure interception last week against St. Norbert, UW-Whitewater cornerback Brady Grayvold said he took plenty of ribbing from his teammates.
Grayvold will be doing all the ribbing this week after tying a school record with three interceptions, including one returned 41 yards for a touchdown return against Franklin (Ind.) here Saturday afternoon.
Whitewater forced four turnovers in all and held the Grizzlies' nationally ranked offense to a season-low three points en route to a 31-3 victory in an NCAA Division III football second-round playoff game.
With the dominating defensive performance, Whitewater advances to its eighth NCAA Division III quarterfinal in nine years against Linfield here next Saturday.
"It was another outstanding performance by our team defensively today," Warhawk coach Lance Leipold said. "To be able to take an offensive team with a quarterback like Johnny West and keep them out of the end zone sure says a lot about the type of defense we played."
Holding Franklin without a touchdown is no small feat. West came into the game leading Division III with 40 touchdown passes.
"What a great gameplan they (Whitewater) had," Franklin coach Mike Leonard said. "They are fundamentally sound and make very few mistakes and made us one-dimensional."
Whitewater had a pretty sound gameplan offensively, as well. Warhawk quarterback Matt Behrendt outplayed West by tossing three touchdown passes, starting with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jake Kumerow that put Whitewater ahead 7-0 early in the first.
Behrendt later made it 14-0 with a quick 14-yard strike over the middle to Justin Howard to make it 14-0 in the second.
The Grizzlies, with the help of a Warhawk roughing the passer penalty, finally had a chance to retake momentum with a long drive inside the Whitewater 10.
But wide receiver Michael Maloian's controversial dropped pass in the end zone on fourth and 2 squandered the drive and the momentum.
"I had a great vantage point and I thought he (Maloian) had it," Leonard said. "If I had a red flag in my sock, I would have thrown it, but I trust both officials who said the ball was dropped."
Whitewater then added insult to injury with a 14-play, 82-yard scoring drive, capped by Eric Kindler's 29-yard field to help the Warhawks cruise into halftime with a 17-0 lead.
The Grizzlies managed to draw to within 17-3 in the third quarter on Mike Wood's 46-yard field goal, but it wasn't enough.
Following a Loussaint Minett blocked punt at the Franklin 29, Behrendt hit a leaping Kumerow for a 29-yard touchdown pass to blow the game open, 23-3.
Grayvold eventually put the finishing touches on the victory with the 41-yard touchdown return in the fourth.
"You have to give a lot of credit to our front seven for creating pressure," Grayvold said. "I dropped a pretty bad interception last week and took a lot of heat for that, but when you get a lot of pressure on the quarterback, you get a lot chances for picks."
Whitewater will need to continue to keep the heat on quarterbacks as they advance to face more elaborate passing games in the playoffs.

The Fiber Disease
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam
Lets see: London: #3,5,7,13, 10
Tam: #8,18.104.22.168
Am I wrong all those that watch this site and call me but do not post?
That is who these people are..... specialists in this type of trickery to our plight to be believed and to get well.
Shame on them.
London: 24-13-18-17
This whole site and what it has become: 23-22-20
If you use this as a guide and every time something is posted you refer to this guide you will see who these people are and it will be obvious.
None of them want to help organize the states os we can have a grass roots movemebt.
All of them think and call everyone spies and crazy names.
All of them put down everyone who is doing some real good for the cause.
No one pays attention to any real work that is happening. They all live in their minds not knowing what they are cutting and pasting and being obssessive compulsive about it to distract any real goings on about this disese.
All of them send anyone who is reading this site off in wild red herring directions.
Tam pretends to be an expert but will not reveal it all
It is directly out of this manual.
All I have done is ask people to call me so that we can set up a grass roots movement and not one of them has done anything for this disease that is real.
I do not need to say anymore. it is so very obvious to anyone with an IQ over 18.
Hello Marcos, Thanks you for your reponse, but do you have Morgellons? I am a respiratory therapist, in addition, I went to school to be an RN for 1 year, was a nurse tech for a year and did wound care.Then if you do have Morgellon's and what you know about cellulitis (have you had it with Morgellon's) is a nasty combo that no doctor and/or nurse can cure in the usual way. Have you not been reading what I've been writing and what I've just proven to be true ( along with Sabrina's help). You can't typically treat morgy patients' cellulitis the SAME way, If you have a lot of morgy bugs your extremities need to be "SOAKED" in a really warm epson salt bath to expell some of the bugs plus toxins, Then verus using the stupid Eucerin for the morgy bug to glide in use "Clobetasol Propionate"SO the morgy bug is perusaded not to seal that thin plastic coating over your cellulits, and then start that festive party... you talk about a real "morgy party" complete with the stinging, crawling, biting, and vibratory signaling what they do so well. This is my second mishap with cellulitus with in the last four months, Acute pharygitis times 2, and 2 visits to opthmalogoists, 2 derms, 1 ENT, Foot and Ankle doctor, 1 infectious disease doctor and six ER visits. I've been to so many doctors that my insurance compamy is calling me under the guise of helping me...sure right...and Marcos, I have had this condition for 30 years ( but never to this degree, this happened at the end of May this year) and vistaril/atarax never did a damn thing for me, in the past. The doctors, particularly the psych doctors, recommend that I take risperdal, so it can hopefully give me back a semblance of a normal life. I bought the risperidal and will gladly pour it into carpet where I seldom step my feet, especially high plush carpet. I still can not go to see a movie and will not dare to try, I try not not to sit on any fabric chair or sofa, even my mattress is covered in plasic....f%$#* that itching. Marcos, someone in our fellowship recommended antivan and it WORKS! OH! OMG it works, it helps to calm the buggies down...I don't drink and have 15 years clean and I'm well aware that ativan is a narcotic....I don't give a damn...I felt ready to die this past Thursday, especially in dealing with these doctors that know NOTHING about our illness. I was out in the cold air going to Piedmont Hospital with sandals on because my feet were swollen and when I tried to put on my earth shoes I got a good B-I-T-E, I will have to throw those away later ( the diamtomaceous earth) does nothing for my shoes. So, I'm here in the cold walking with my leg weeping like hell, the young doc has never seen me he only has to determine whether I can work since my doctor's excuse goes until Nov3,2006..Gosh, he's so "green", and it shows, he immediately tell me that my leg looks a lot better and I can go back to work...I said compared to what? OMG! They looked like chopped liver with lots of visible morgy eggs under the saran wrap that had encased my leg...he said the eggs were serum from my body and when I tried to pluck out an embedded morgy bug, He screamed No!. NO!. i asked him to take a sample and culture it, he refused saying that it have already been done, by who?? EMORY??? I had lots of bugs, but Emory never came back and said anything because I'm sure thay probably think that the elongated silicone things did not come out of my leg BUT THEY DID!!!!!! I decided against the ambien to knock me out but could possibly knock them too, And I opted to buy the tylenol _at_ 500 mg, I just took the ativan _at_ 0.5 mm bid, but not to be used when driving or working...Then itching has subsided now and I can finally think....MARCOS...okay you're a nurse, so listen: the morgy bugs are attacking my LEFT leg in full force...CHF constitutes LEFT Heart Failure, does it not?, Emory Hospital said that my ejection fraction was 40% supposedly being 55-60%. Do you understand now??? There are so many morgy bugs in my body, specially my left leg, that it is ( I bet) causing the CHF. My biggest battle with caring for the cellulitis was keeping the morgy bugs out that wanted to stay in the cellulitis and heal with it....hell no, I go them out. And now I'm back on the regimen of the proven but true, people who have had it and know what to do ....NOT what doctors say...I almost lost my damn legs to the morgy bugs I had started falling on my face, 3 days ago they ( THE BUGS EMIT COVERINGS) had both my legs covered in a grayish wax like cellulitis encased in their saran STRONG wrap. And they, the morgy bug ejected themselves up into the grayish mess until it was several of them there and then started their vibrating, stinging, biting and did I mention pain????!!! Sit on side of bath tub with very warm water, fill with epom salt...DON'T BRUSH SKIN...but use bathcloth with gloveds hands if you feel more comfortable, place the water with melted epsom salt on that area continously...DON'T SCRUB SKIN...REMOVE ALL VISIBILE MORGY BUGS (hard for them to hide...rinse lightly with sterile water or tap water, what ever you have,pat dry then applywith the clobetasol propionate, and NOTICE the BIG difference...the proof is in the pudding!!!!!!
Marcos, so you see, how they teach you to care at home with home health nurses for your leg: pour sodium chloride on a 4by 4 wipe the area, pat it dry, and then use the Eucerin 3 times a day...OH NO ,not me....it's epsom salt bath for both legs, pat it dry,apply with a gloved hand (it will last longer)clobetsasol propinate on both legs, keep leg elevated above heart level as much as possible and then you will have nice healing legs like mine now. ( Thanks still go out pgy18181 and Sabrina for emphasizing the Epsom bath) And not going back to work Monday, leg still weeping...I work 12 hour hour shifts, I think one more week will take care of it, in fact I already called out at work, but that young doc was out on Friday if he says no on Monday then I find a doctor that will say yes this is MY leg I'm trying to save here. I'll hit that pavement Monday with this "weeping" leg and get my extra week, and how about that damn policy that when you get an additional policy that adds $100.00 a day to you hospitalization only wants to pay for first 3 days and not the next five days...BS, and I mean it!! I"M fighting that too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[b]Skyytroll and London, I asked one of you to please enlighten me on biofilm, the supposedly after effects of taking the antiparasitic drugs,are you up for it? Marcos, thank you but I generally listen to only the people who have this dreaded diseae as bad or near as bad as I have it( well ,not to all of them, I try to to be discerning as possible), they need not be nurses, doctors or anyone in the medical field. Thank you and take care...Take care all...

Bravo Randy,
I have said much the same before and I am relieved to see someone else notice what clearly is a contrived effort to bog down this discussion with verbage. Those doing this are intent on obscuring the issues and preventing any progress.
I'm perplexed as to what conclusions can be drawn from this behaviour other then to discount the possibility of lunacy as is frequently implied by some posters. My best theory is that this is someones mistake, someone with resources, hence the endless supply of trained puppets trotted out to pad this forum.
I can't help thinking that without all this interference Sabrina and us all, would have interested the real biologists who frequent this place and probably made some progress by now.
For example I'd love to have a informative, respectful online discussion about trichoderma, asperigillis (sic) and cyanobacteria. But to even attempt that here, the most likely of all places to get a valuable response, is to invite an endless stream of indiscipherable jargon clearly not considered or understood by the posters. It's hardly surprising that anyone knowledgable in these areas is unlikely to participate in such a three ring circus.
Best of luck Randy, at least you have Karma on your side.
Do not soak.
I do not have the condition you speak of. Maybe people here do not have what is known as fiber disease.
You can have many different things that have some of the symptoms and that is why wer are tyring ot get a state/national data base with docs that have a protocl to follow.so we can rule it in or out.
Fiber disease or Morgellons has non-healing skin llesions with fibers inside of them. That is what make it unique. NON-HEALING SKIN LESIONS with FIBERS INSIDE.
Also please note: My good buddy who has had this as long as I have and has had many biopsies finally had another one and they found it to be cancer this time. He is having teh rest of them biopsied to see how bad it really is. He has had this for 16 years.
So these non-healing skin lesions if manipulated (and he did) enough can turn into cancer so please beware and get them biopsied every year.
Also NEVER soak. You allow the "element" to travel from one area to the other and you will eventaully be covered in lesions. If soaking works..you don't have this in my opinion.
It may make you feel good for a moment but in the end it will be your destruction. The"element" travels and swims in water and can move to another part of your body if it is under water.
General Information
Cellulitis is an acute bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue. It is usually caused by streptococcal or staphylococcal bacteria. The skin of the face, neck and legs is most often involved. Infection may also occur at sites of minor surgery or trauma.
Cellulitis was once a very common and serious condition, but has become much less common with the advent of antibiotics.
Anyone of any age can be affected by cellulitis, however infants, young children, elderly and people with weakened immune systems are most likely to be affected. Other factors than can increase the chances of developing the condition include:
Problems with circulation in the limbs
Previous injury to the limbs (eg: trauma, radiotherapy, surgery)
Swelling of the legs
Signs and Symptoms
The onset of cellulitis is often sudden. A clearly defined area of skin becomes red and tender. It rapidly turns bright red, shiny, swollen and hot. Small lumps and blisters may develop over the next 4-6 days, so that the skin resembles the peel of an orange. Within 7 to 10 days the redness and swelling has usually died away and the blisters are drying up.
During the initial stages of the rash there is often accompanying fever, chills, headache, nausea and a general feeling of ill health. The lymph nodes draining the affected area may become swollen and tender.
Orbital cellulitis is a potentially serious form of cellulitis affecting the tissues around the eye. This form of cellulitis can be caused by bacteria that have spread from the nose, throat or sinuses. It can also occur after facial surgery. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if orbital cellulitis is suspected as the potential side effects of the condition include loss of vision and meningitis. Sometimes treatment from an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) may be required
Cellulitis can usually be diagnosed from its characteristic appearance. Blood tests and tissue cultures may be used to confirm the presence of bacterial infection.
In cases of orbital cellulitis, a CT scan (computerised tomography) may be recommended in order precisely identify the extent of the infection.
Cellulitis is treated with antibiotics, usually penicillin. In many cases the condition improves within 48 hours of treatment. Treatment with antibiotics may need to be continued for up to 14 days or as prescribed by a doctor. In acute cases where the cellulitis is extensive, hospitalisation and treatment with intravenous antibiotics may be required.
Recently there has been an increase in the number of cases of cellulitis showing resistance to the standard antibiotics. In these cases one or more different medications may need to be tried.
Cold packs and pain relieving medication may be used to reduce pain and discomfort.
In rare cases there may be several recurrences of cellulitis. This is particularly true of patients who have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, postphlebitic syndrome or HIV infection. In selected patients where recurrence is a serious problem, ongoing preventative treatment with antibiotics may be recommended.
This is not what we have nor do those that have our disease get this. Iam just talking the truth. If you have this take antibiotics and clear it up.
That no efficient therapeutic approach is possible is not established.
But based on its composition (a cyanobacterium fused with at least one mayor parasitic protozoa) makes it unlikely that an easy solution will be readily available.
Doubtfully sure I predict that therapy may have to include toxic compounds like amphotericin B as indicated against protothecosis and/ or highly toxic therapeutic agents as used against trypanosomes.
"And now include the idea that a yet unknown percentage of the population may prove positive for this element including the very young and other risk group"
Next, this synthetic agent may prove multi drug resistant or show a unique susceptibility pattern.
Remember that people have tried many substances including cocktails and I think that nobody can claim to have cured from this infection although some improvement seems possible.
The fact that standard laboratory tests do not yield a clue and that biopsies tend to stay free of this infectious agent is not an established standard to measure with.
Per definition it would not be the first infectious agent that is very difficult to culture or to observe in tissue samples.
That doctors are not willing to take care for the ones that are obviously affected may soon be matter of history and I think a correction involving more than one discipline is unavoidable.
"It has happened in 1982 with heliobacter pylori (a major cause of stomach ulcer previously a condition thought not to be caused by a micro organism)
Early this year a similar thing happened with findings relating to one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in the western world to know prostrate cancer (now consistently associated with a viral infection)
The story is always the same; the matter is silently accepted without much explanation about its impact on the disciplines and R&D. An opportunist character definitely must rule.
You can not write a paper about this infectious agent because you need consistent research findings to do so.
This is primarily budget and time dependent and research also would involve a group patients.
Also it is my opinion that only an Institute like CDC can do this investigation. They have the research means and the budget and are per definition responsible for the apparent lack of assessment.
"Next, I am rather convinced that it are only politics that rule against obtaining full assessment at once"

Relief Seeker,
I believe Panniculitis is associated with cellulitis. A neighbor died of Hodgekins Disease and Panniculitis. When the water comes out the legs it is bad news.
Also, my grandmother had panniculitis, and an aunt had cellulitis. Same side of family.
I will look into that Biofilm, because two well qualified experts on this have discussed this in an article in American Scientists and were very concerned about it occurring in the human population.
I will find that article and the other info I have on biofilm. Here is where I believe it is.
There are way too many viruses and bacterias out there being used for bioremediation, and you working in hospital are near so much bacterias.
There isn't much info on this, has been buried in most scientific literature.
Will get back to you on this today.
Hang in there and soaking with dead sea salts is working for me. Sometimes put directly on lesions. Does dry them up and is working for someone in Florida, along with graviola, which I recently started to take.
In your case the biofilm is forming right on skin. Will get you more expert info on that.
If you could just get past the control factor, and stop victimizing us.
Bullying must be one of your main character flaws.
I do know what I read and do understand genes and proteins. I am really ticked off at your insinuation that I do not know what I read.
You do not know my mind, and that is driving you crazy that many of us here can think on our own. What authority do you have?
Another thing you all are a closed group: You speak among yourselves, totally dismiss anyone else who has any ideas. You want control of all this and you speak in riddles yourself. NMO has not been very open to many of us.
You cannot comprehend what we read, and we put it out there, so that maybe others can discuss with us about it. You are pulling everyone apart here. We research the science out there, we put it here to discuss.
All you do is say it doesn't apply to our disease.
Do you have the answer as to what this is? Then you are just as much at fault for not telling us. Keep your secrets to yourself, then.
We will keep looking and Freedom means I CAN.

Feingold organization endorses Janis Ringhand for state Senate
MADISON--Progressives United for Wisconsin, the political organization of Russ Feingold, the former United States senator, is endorsing Janis Ringhand for the 15th District state Senate seat.
"From her days as Evansville alderwoman and mayor to her time in the Wisconsin State Assembly, Janis has fought to keep government out of the hands of corporations and return it to the hands of the people," said Cole Leystra, executive director for Progressives United for Wisconsin, quoted in Ringhand's news release. "Janis knows how to roll up her sleeves and work to restore our full voting rights, stand up for workers and reach across the aisle to get things done."
Ringhand is the only announced candidate to replace Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville, who is stepping down when his term ends next January. The election is Nov. 4.

Intel's CEO search begins, and the nominees are...
80 comments
SAN JOSE, Calif. For 45 years, Intel Corp.s succession plan has been so orderly it was boring. With this weeks unexpected announcement that Paul Otellini will step down in May as CEO, the field to replace Otellin is wide open with a strong possibility of the first chief executive coming from outside the company.
Speculation about Intels next CEO cover the waterfront with the least predictable being the most likely. At this stage in its history, some think Intel needs its Lou Gerstner, a savvy star-CEO from outside its industry who can shake up the chip makers model and get ahead of a rapidly changing industry.
Its anyones guess who can transform the x86 giant the way R.J. Reynolds exec Gerstner re-made the struggling IBM into a modern day services giant. But theres a broadly felt sense that change is needed.
Intels core PC business is slowing. The Wintel duopoly that dominated it has fractured. Microsoft embraced ARM in Windows 8 and Windows Phone; Intel rides Linux and Android in servers and smartphones.
More importantly, the old Intel formula of following Moores Law looks like the wrong prescription for the next era. Increasingly, systems need greater energy efficiency, not raw horsepower. And new semiconductor nodes are coming more slowly and offering less bang for the buck in process technology investment.
Intel still sees its advanced processes as key to its continuing success, said Will Strauss, principal of Forward Concepts (Tempe, Ariz.). It'll be interesting to see if Otellinis successor is a physicist [like Gordon Moore], engineer [like Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs] or business manager [like Otellini]. I vote for an engineer with business experience.
Otellini gets kudos for many accomplishments in his eight-year reign. His big shortfall has been failing to better position Intel in mobile markets that have supplanted PCs as the clients of choice. Intels latest Atom chips have a handful of design wins in smartphones and tablets, but they represent a few drops in a barrel full of ARM-based designs.
In the short term, Intels Ultrabookgeared to stem the rising tablet tidehas been a disappointment. Analysts said they will probably not reach even half of Intels target of becoming 40 percent of client shipments in the last quarter of the year.
Otellini, 62, was expected to serve until Intels mandatory retirement age of 65. The announcement that he will retire in May comes a year ahead of expectations, a sign of concern about the companys future.
Paul Otellini's decision to retire at age 62 was unexpected.
So whats next will probably be something and someone new and unexpected to chart a fresh course. Intel must re-think its mobile strategy. It probably will rethink its manufacturing strategy as well, including how it approaches the foundry opportunity.

Five people taken to the hospital after three-car crash in downtown Janesville on Sunday
JANESVILLE—Five people were taken to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center Sunday evening after a three-vehicle accident at the intersection of South Main and East Court streets.
A white minivan southbound on South Main Street ran a red light and hit a red Pontiac Grand Am between 6 and 6:30 p.m., Janesville Police Sgt. Todd Kleisner said.
The minivan rolled over and landed upright on its wheels. While it rolled, a 5-year-old passenger was thrown from the vehicle and landed in the intersection, Kleisner said.
All four people in the minivan, including the driver and three children, were taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Their injuries "didn't appear to be real serious," Kleisner said.
Janesville police are investigating if seat belts were worn.
A vehicle behind the Pontiac Grand Am was unable to stop and collided with it.
One person in the Pontiac Grand Am was taken to the hospital because airbags deployed. Their injuries also did not appear serious, Kleisner said. At least two people were in the vehicle.
Northbound and southbound traffic on Main Street were blocked while Janesville police and firefighters responded to the accident. Officers and firefighters were on scene for about an hour.
The minivan and Pontiac Grand Am were towed from the scene.

O. Thomas Nimmo, Janesville, WI (1930-2014)
July 9, 1930 - March 25, 2014
Tom Nimmo (aka O.T; Bud) was called to his heavenly home on Tuesday, March 25, 2014. He was born on July 9, 1930, in Cambridge, WI, the fifth son of Julia (Himle) and Orvin E. Nimmo.

His grandchildren were the light of his life. He operated his own business of financial planning and leasing for over 30 years. His children fondly recall their hunting excursions, his numerous stories, and his sense of humor. Tom was a confidante and friend.
Tom is survived by Evelyn, his wife of 61 years; four sons: Michael O. (Lori) Nimmo of Janesville, Dr. Eric (Lea) Nimmo of Wasilla, AK, Timothy (Jenn) Nimmo of Loveland, CO, and Corey (Tammy) Nimmo of Janesville; his daughter, Kathleen (Chip) Hogan of Beloit, WI; and stepdaughter, Rhonda (Jim) Mataczynski of Holcombe, WI; special "son", Lynn Burnell of The Village, FL; 19 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Nancy Elmer of Evansville, WI, and Eleanor (Clyde) Rhodes of Barron, WI, He was preceded in death by his parents, five sisters and four brothers.

Attention Europeans8/9/2008 7:21am
The portfolio is everything the article says. I am very pleased with mine, except for one thing. I live in Denmark, and the Danish standart paper size, A4, isn't the same as the American. I have to cut the top off every piece of paper to fit them into my portfolio. So if you're not from the USA, be aware that the sheet music you print out might not fit the portfolio.
