Marc B. Garnick's fine article on prostate cancer ["The Great Prostate Cancer Debate"] neglects one very important consideration in its support of reduced screening: death from untreated cancer, though low, is quite often slow and very painful. I would much rather die of just about anything else.
In addition, treatment of advanced prostate cancer is no cakewalk. My prostate cancer was removed surgically after it was diagnosed, but my brother's was too far advanced. He is now being treated by hormones and other drugs, and his life is far from rosy: weight gain, hot flashes, heart problems and incontinence are not his only problems. For me, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test was a godsend.
Joe Cusack

The discussion should not be about the many low-grade tumors that elevated PSA tests find but about how many mid- and high-grade tumors are discovered. The fact that elevated PSA scores can indicate the possibility of aggressive cancers in the prostate sooner than any other noninvasive test should justify some periodic PSA testing for men. How often these screenings should be done and at what age they should begin is the proper question, not whether they should be eliminated.
Henry Maze
San Mateo, Calif.
GARNICK REPLIES: Whether prostate cancer screening will reduce the death rates and suffering from prostate cancer forms a key and critical question underlying any screening program. The thinking behind such programs hypothesizes that cancers start as a microscopic focus, turn into a localized cancer—becoming more regionally advanced in the organ from which they arose—then metastasize, eventually claiming the life of the individual. Thus, screening and finding these cancers "early" should result in saved lives. Yet although nearly every screening program finds seemingly less aggressive and earlier-stage cancers than those found later on, the expected improved survival rates have not materialized.
Although it is reassuring to think that "catching" prostate cancer early will save lives, the complexities and differing genetic makeup of prostate cancers that ultimately determine the disease's biological behavior are probably the most important factors. Oncologists remain hopeful that future biomarkers will be developed that will inform us not only of whether cancer is present but of what the behavior—and hence the need for treatment—of that cancer is likely to be.

The internet and Google are wonderful things. It reveals the Mud-Slinging "Sebastian" Citizens Speak out is actually headed up by Don Wright. He in turn is providing major support to McPartlan. This small tight knit committee had as its Chairman Ed Herlihy who was appointed by Council Gilmore as a member of the Sebastian "Citizens Budget Review Advisory Board in 2008. Membership also included Lisanne Robinson that joined with Andrea Coy and Don Wright in a joint celebration party when they previously were elected over their rivals for City Council. Nice move to hide this from the Public in your pronouncements in your - LOL -"Endorsements" and attacks on your rivals.
If Andrea Coy and Don Wrighto are re-elected - who's going to watch over this cabal? These are the people that "oversaw" the recent Waterfront Fiasco that will cost the City $100,000 plus?

Statement of HE Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu in the Opening Session
Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu*
Note of the editors
Statement of H. E. Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) in the opening session of the conference, on 25 May 2010. The statement was read by Dr Jan Agha Iqbal.
* * *
H. E. Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary General of the OIC despite his sincere desire to be present here personally, was unable to attend this august meeting due to some prior commitments. He has designated me to represent him. I now have the honour to read out his statement to this conference on his behalf.
I Quote:
Professor Salim T S Al-Hassani, Chairman of the Board of the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilization, Distinguished participants, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me indeed great pleasure and honour to address this august gathering of scholars, academicians and researchers. I am equally happy and delighted to see that there is an apparent interest to learn more about Islam, its history and its contributions to the human civilization at large. The significant progress and advancements achieved in various fields of human endeavours did not in fact, come only as a result of the last two centuries of hard work and scientific research. It is also the outcome of building upon the rich legacy of one thousand years of extraordinary scientific works and scholarly researches undertaken by Muslim scholars.
World civilization is one civilization with many tributaries. Over many centuries the flow of civilization was running uniquely from the East to the West.
To expose further this grand Muslim civilisationnel heritage, the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilization has undertaken a commendable mission by initiating the global launch of 1001 Inventions and holding of this important conference on the subject in collaboration with Muhammad Abdul Latif Jameel Foundation. Let me express my profound appreciation to the two prestigious institutions for their laudable initiating and organizing this marvellous cultural manifestation that would serve as an eye opener allowing new generation to catch a glimpse of tiny portion of a great glorious legacy.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is indeed heartening to note that the initiative seeks to refresh us all of the hard work of a galaxy of academicians, researchers and historians. Its huge success brings great satisfaction and encourages further dedicated and quality work on this important area.

Figure 1: Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu during his visit to the exhibition "1001 Inventions" in June 2010 in London. He was accompanied with Dr Rim Turkmani, Research Fellow at FSTC, and also a Research Fellow of the Royal Society. Prof. Ihsanoglu wrote in the visitors book of the exhibition: "It is real pleasure to see the '1001 inventions' exhibition in its new version. I think this time it reached its audience".
I am student of science and have spent a good part of my life in research of the achievements of Muslim Scientists in the past. I found that so much of the rich heritage have either been lost or ignored.
For so long the need was seriously felt to reflect the truth of the medieval Muslim world as a golden age for the human civilization. The matter deserves to be adequately and fairly reflected in the school textbooks and curricula in the West as well as through media outlets here.
This would partly contribute in dispelling the stereotypes of Muslims and misperceptions of Islam and consequently result in the reduction of the discrimination against Muslims to a great extent.
To look back into the history, for centuries, the Muslim scholars developed new disciplines and enriched and enlightened Europe, Asia and Africa in various fields and traits of human endeavour including trade, agriculture, academic research, philosophy, law, history, theology, mathematics, algebra, chemistry, medicine, hospitals, optics, music, architecture, anthropology, etiquette, diplomacy, fashion etc.
Figure 2: Dr Rim Turkmani presenting Prof. Ihsanoglu with a copy of the 1001 Inventions book and also of a small model of the Al-Jazari Elephant Clock.
Within this context, 800 years of Islamic civilization in Spain between the 8th and 15th centuries was a turning point in the history of Europe paving the way for the renaissance. During the period of Muslim civilization in Spain great scholars, scientists, and men of learning and wisdom flourished.
Since many centuries the legacy of Islam was made obscure in the western subconscious and the psych of many in the West. There is a need to celebrate and learn about Muslims and their meritorious contributions to the scientific and technological achievements. In dealing with history of civilizations one will hardly come across any mention of Islam or Islamic contributions. Even until recent times, when some had a mention of Muslims merit, they would only say that Muslims had merely contributed to the transfer of the Greek knowledge to Europe. They brush aside in the process Muslims' pioneering role in preserving the universal human heritage, be it from the Mesopotamia, the Nile valley and the Great Syria or from Greece, India, Persia and beyond. It is high time to recognize the contributions of Muslims which enriched the old knowledge, added to it, corrected many erring concepts and injecting it with many innovative contributions using genuine scientific approach, and introduced to the world new sciences and technologies.
Distinguished participants,
It is unfortunate to note that despite all the advancements and achievements in various fields of human endeavours and within the scope of the current globalized world where cultures, races and religions interact and intermingle, misunderstandings regarding Muslims and stereotyping them in the West is growing. Ignorance of Islam and underestimating tremendous contributions made during thousand years of the Islamic civilization, play a significant role in the steady growth of Islamophobia in the West.
Figure 3: Prof. Ihsanoglu standing besides the full scale model of the Elephant Clock in the "1001 Inventions" exhibition.
Stemming from the same ignorance and lack of understanding, and due to some anti-Islam publications and propaganda, Islam is stigmatized for the backwardness of some societies and their problems. Today, regretfully Islam is portrayed as a threat to West by some quarters and Muslims are being subjected to discrimination, profiling, indignity and injustice. Islamic sacred symbols and beliefs are insulted and defamed. Muslim cultural traits are tainted as medieval and against moderation. A large section of the western media remains focused to link Islam with terrorism and extremism. This has further contributed to widen the divide between Islam and the West and keep prejudices and misgivings alive.
We earnestly believe that its time for the Islamic world and the West to set aside the growing differences and develop a culture of mutual understanding, respect and dialogue built on the commonalities and shared values. The glorious heritage of the medieval Muslim civilization along with today's scientific and civilisationnel achievements in the west, should be combined together to form a bigger picture of a common world with inter-religious, intercultural and intercivilisationnnel appreciation and harmony.
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) as an inter-governmental Organization comprising 57 states with many non-Muslim observer countries, is committed to the engagement and dialogue based on mutual respect and understanding in line with its principle of moderation and modernization. The OIC continues its efforts with its western partners and stakeholders to pursue a constructive dialogue for the integration of civilizations and cultures.
Before conclusion I have to underscore how strongly Islam gives emphasis to reading and seeking knowledge and Quran's first injunction was to read. Muslims were instructed to learn, teach and help others learn. On this basis, Islam was, in reality, a call to human beings to observe, reflect and ponder on the wonder of the universe, to obtain knowledge to guide his life in tandem with the laws of nature. This was the spiritual incentive that prompted Muslim scientists to explore all venues of knowledge and all branches of science. It is worth noting that the intellectual regression started in the Muslim world when Muslims stopped to pursue scientific studies and researches.
We are confident that this exhibition will help in deepening cultural awareness conducive to filling parts of the gap which separates Islam from the West as well reviving 1000 years of missing history.
Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to the organizers of this important event with special mention to my very dear and old friend Dr. Salim Al Hassani.
I wish you all the best and the exhibition huge success. I thank you all.

by: Prof. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Thu 15 July, 2010
On 2nd June 2010, Professor Salim Al-Hassani lectured in Bristol, UK, on 1001 inventions: Cultural Routes of Science for Cultural Inter-Appreciation. This lecture was organised by the British Science Association (Bristol and Bath branch) and the St Mary Redcliffe Journey into Science project. The venue was St Mary Redcliffe Church, a glorious medieval church in the gothic style, a style of architecture which owes much to the early influence of Islamic architecture. The lecture was attended by a large audience. Medicine in the Middle Ages: New Insights and a Call for Further Research by: Professor Rabie E Abdel-HalimProfessor Rabie E Abdel-Halim
[Proceedings of the conference 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World organised by FSTC, London, 25-26 May 2010].
Aiming at restoring historical continuity to the currently available knowledge on medicine in the Middle Ages, the article summarizes some results from Prof. Abdel-Halim's extensive primary-source studies of the original Arabic works of ten medieval Islamic medical scholars who lived and practiced between the 9th and 13th centuries and whose works represented original contributions to the progress of anatomy, physiology, clinical medicine and surgery. The article also highlights the importance of continuing research in this field, for the reason that the investigation about the transmission and translation movements that occurred during the Middle Ages are bound to emphasize the universality of knowledge and unity of mankind. Such an assumption will certainly boost cultural inter-appreciation around the world and help to strengthen mutual understandings between the West and the East and, thus, nurture the interaction between different faiths and various civilisations. Statement of Professor Jim Al-Khalili in the Opening Session by: Prof. Jim Al-KhaliliProfessor Jim Al-Khalili
In this brief statement, Professor Jim Al-Khalili outlines some ideas about intercultural dialogue from the standpoint of science exchange between the West and the Islamic world. Departing from his experience as expert in science communication, he presents a short history of the British Science Association and highlights the tight links of collaboration this institution holds with the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC). The Transfer of Science Between India, Europe and China via Muslim Heritage by: Professor Charles BurnettProfessor Charles Burnett
The Islamic realms served as a crucible for scientific learning from the ancient Greek world in the West and from China, India and Iran, in the East. Western Europe in turn benefited from the transmission of Arabic science into Latin, just as Chinese culture was indebted to Arabic texts travelling eastwards. There was a vast network of transmission over centuries and over continents. This short article presents three stories telling related to the transfer of science between India, Europe and China via Muslim Heritage. Manuscripts and printing in the spread of Muslim science by: Geoffrey RoperDr Geoffrey Roper
The following article presents a brief status about the transmission of Muslim scientific texts, and how the physical means by which it was done may have affected their reception and influence in both the Muslim world and Europe. The article documents in particular the traces of existence of printing in early Islam, several centuries before the invention of printing by Gutenberg in the 15th century.

It's rare in American Fork Canyon that you climb well above the tops of the tallest trees; this route combines fun exposure, a great, secluded location, and some good climbing. P1 (5.10a, 70 feet) Start from a rough, natural belay ledge and follow the black-painted bolts up and right. Surmount a bulge or two and get to a foot-wide ledge. Look right about ten feet and slightly up and you can see the two-bolt belay anchor. Climb up, clip the next bolt, then traverse right and slightly down to the anchor. Granted it's weird, but it'll make sense for pitch 2. P2 (5.10b, 80 feet) If the second is leading P2, it's easiest for the second to just keep going rather than to traverse over to the anchor (you've got all the draws anyway). Follow three bolts up along an arete and then cross to the right side of the arete onto a slabby face. Traverse up and right through two more bolts to the base of a bulgy headwall. Surmount the steepness using fun moves while marveling at the view, then continue up to the anchor. To descend, walk off down and right to the gully on your right. It's likely possible to get down using two raps, but since you brought your approach shoes with you, why bother?
Located at the east (downhill) side of the buttress that forms the right side of the upper part of the gully containing Visionary Wall. Approach by either walking up the left side of the Visionary Wall gully near the left wall and then cutting across the gully, or continue along the stream bed and scramble up the next gully to the north. This is the right of the two bolt lines.
P1 9 (maybe 10?) bolts, Metolius rap hanger anchors P2 9 bolts, Metolius rap hanger anchors
The rock on this climb is spackled with tiny sharp edges that can really give great friction when you need to smear. The lower pitch has several small roofs with juggy moves. The upper pitch turns personality with edges on the blackish bizarre rock. There are some long stretch moves that are exhilerating. Amazing route.

What a bunch of Bull
Growing up, my family was never into politics. Any politics that I happened to notice came from my public school teachers. Really, I didn't start noticing much until about high school, and only then to try to figure out why some of my friends got so annoyed when the American History teacher constantly referred to Nixon as "tricky Dick".

MANISTEE -- Manistee leaders are hoping a plan to buy the Vogue Theatre moves forward after its first attempt at closing hit a glitch.
The Downtown Development Authority wants to purchase the historic building on River Street and give it a much needed facelift.
The current owner of the property filed for bankruptcy, and the DDA is hoping to turn it into a thriving business once again by purchasing it for $65,000.
The DDA was set to close on the property Friday but one creditor objected to the sale stating they were not given enough notice. Officials with the DDA say the creditor was served notice at two different addresses on record, but the creditor says he was out of the country at the time and did not have enough time.
Travis Alden, Executive Director of the Manistee Downtown Development Authority, said the DDA is hoping to get an emergency hearing Wednesday and could possibly close on the property that same day.
Once the property is in the hands of the DDA a revitalization plan will get underway.
"All we are planning and preparing to do is some stabilization of the building because unfortunately there is a lot of maintenance things that have been ignored over the years, We felt we needed to take control of the building to prevent further deterioration," explained Alden. "Really the main thing is marketing the property to developers who do historic rehabilitation and we have had a good amount of interested from different people and development firms."
There is also a possibility of turning the once thriving movie theatre back into what it once was.
"We would love to see what happened at the State Theatre in Traverse City and at the Garden Theater in Frankfort," said Alden.
When asked if Michael Moore, who has been implemental in helping Traverse City and Frankfort turn things around, has been contacted, Alden said there has been some communication with the State Theatre group. At this point however, it has been more along the lines of helping with some 'best practices'.
"We would love it if that situation presented itself if Michael Moore and his group took an interested and wanted to become more involved. We would welcome that with open arms," Alden explained.

Is bisexuality less natural than either heterosexuality or homosexuality?
Lol, good point. We should use signs like this to protest bigots in government.
Doug, It is if you think of sexuality as a digital phenomenon (I don't). I think it is far more analogue.
Oh but didn't you know how special and hand picked humans are??? It's a gift that we can act "morally." [enter sarcasm here]
Wouldn't a "gift to act morally" then be considered unnatural since we are the only ones to do it and, according to them, have to be taught to do so (after all, without the bible then we are obviously immoral *rolls eyes*)?
Don't confuse things with logic. :D
Exactly...unnatural...if it's from god...isn't bad ;)
If it's from God it must be just super.
So it ends up adding up to super natural.
<*ducks for cover>
but everything else is...and well the bible tells us what is and isn't from god...even though everyone interprets it differently...so where's the confusion?
[le *sigh*]
heterosexuality exist is ALL species unless asexual. lol I find it funny that promoters of homosexuality have counted the number of species they claim practice their sexual habits.
Atheist, as I ask Christians, those who practice homosexuality, it's your business what you do with your bodies and who you chose to do it with, keep it to yourself. You bring it in the public square and it should be treated just like any other belief system.

Welcome! I'm Maya- mother, artist, maker, gatherer, reinventor. I live in rural New York with my two children, 2 cats and 6 chickens. We ramble in and around our little 1850's farmhouse and the surrounding meadows, creeks and forests. 12 years ago we moved out of the city to be closer to nature and the seasons. We're grateful for the beauty of where we live every day, and I've found sharing it with all of you only deepens my appreciation.
My designs reflect a desire to use sustainable resources woven in with inspiration from the natural world. I'm passionate about encouraging others to find their unique creative voice and gain confidence in making things with their own hands. So... with the help of an incredible team at Wiley Craft, I created a book about just that! I wrote it for you. Reinvention- Sewing With Rescued Materials is available in bookstores everywhere! You can read about it here.
I invite you to check out the MAKE button on the right hand side bar. My hope is that you'll jump in with me and have some fun!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you balance mothering and creativity?
My children are getting older (14 and 8), but it still can be a challenge, especially as a single mom. I find it impossible to do everything well at the same time, so something has to give. Time and again the dishes and laundry tend to pile up since they are my last priority. I've been mothering for over a decade and have a pretty good sense of how quickly time passes... how fast our children grow. I'd much rather be playing in the woods or wielding paintbrushes together, than keeping my house tidy. I try to bring a sense of beauty and magic into our life and let the dust bunnies gather, if need be.
Where did you learn to make stuff?
I grew up in a family of artists, builders, and inventors. New projects were constantly springing up around me as a child. My grandfather always said that you could make anything if you had access to a library. With the help of the Brooklyn library (1940's) he built an amazing home... it was the first solar heated house on Long Island to boot.
Can I link to one of your projects? Yes! I love when my projects are appreciated, so go right ahead and link. I just ask that you check in if you want to use more than one photo or any content. You can contact me at mayaluna{at}yahoo{dot}com. Thanks!
What kind of sewing machine do you use?
I grew up using my mother's Kenmore and later a Singer. For the last two years I've had the pleasure of sewing on a Pfaff ClassicStyle. I use it for almost everything. I LOVE it! I also have Pfaff hobbylock 4842 serger that I'm still making friends with.
What kind of camera are you using? For the first two years of this blog, I used a Sony Cybershot 7.2. I still love its portability, but have upgraded to a Canon G11. I process my photos in iPhoto or Monkeypic if they need any cropping, etc. I also have fallen in love with my iPhone and iPad cameras.
Where do you get all of your used coffee sacks?
I purchase them from our local coffee roastery: Gimme!
How do you wash/care for burlap?
I carefully select only the cleanest sacks and then air them on the line. The graphics that make them so distinct are not permanent and will often fade or disappear in one washing. All of my sacks are made from food-grade certified jute. Spot cleaning is recommended, but when I must wash them I do so in cold water by hand. A washing machine will make them a fuzzy mess. Trust me, I've tried.
Are you still making burlap buckets?
I've slowed down my bucket making. I often announce it on my blog ahead of time. Creating bucket patterns was a way to encourage everyone who wanted one to try their hand at making their own. The patterns are simple enough for a beginning sewer.
Where do you buy your printing supplies?
Carving tools and ink: Blicks.
Fabric paint: Dharma Trading Co.
Fabric stamp pads: Scrapbookforever
Freezer paper: Wegman's (our grocery store), but Amazon carries it, too.

The bottomline is that a federal judge has given control to a disingenuous school board which dissolved and then used political cronies and friendly lawyers to reconstitute into an even greater force with even more power.
What seems incredulous to those of us who live in the suburbs,and pay taxes, is that we never had a say in the matter. SCS, a respectable school system was annexed by a dysfunctional and badly broken MCS, and it mattered not to Judge Mays.

On July 20, thousands of gays and lesbians from the tri-state area will converge on the charming little seaside town of Asbury Park for Sand Blast, the annual LGBT party weekend on the Jersey Shore. And this year, event organizers have worked with New York party promoters to plan even more hot parties and activities to appeal to a growing lesbian contingent.
"We have always focused on trying to get women to be a larger part of this weekend," said Sand Blast Executive Director Brad Hurtado. "We had 'Black Bra' parties, lesbian comedians - the things you would expect. But that changed as we saw what struck people's interests: ultimately, we realized that a pool party was what women wanted."
Last year, Hurtado organized a lesbian pool party at one of the smaller hotels, with DJ Susan Levine spinning. The party was a smash hit, prompting Hurtado to relocate it to the larger host hotel, The Berkeley Oceanfront Hotel, this year.
"It was packed last year, and we kept getting noise complaints," said Levine. "I spun for eight hours in 100 degree heat, and although I was under a white canopy, I thought I was going to die! I was pounding Gatorade and even took a dip in the pool. But the women loved it!"
Levine will return to spin for this year's "Siren of the Sea Women's Pool Party", and said she will bang out her classic style of commercial House music, Latin House and remixes.
"I hope it's going to be a hot, gorgeous day, because it's a pool party, I want them fist pumping, frolicking in the pool and telling even more people next year how amazing this event is!"
The Sirens of the Sand Blast
Joining Levine at "Siren of the Sea" is Jincey Lumpkin, Esq., the founder and "Chief Sexy Officer" of Juicy Pink Box, a lesbian-oriented online porn site. Lumpkin will hold an interactive wet T-shirt contest featuring water guns, sex toys and a $100 cash prize.
"It's going to be awesome; I'm really excited," Lumpkin told EDGE. "We did a similar wet T-shirt contest at Rapture on the River that was insanely popular. So we are bringing it back this year to the pool party."
Lumpkin said that the contest would feature willing volunteers vying for a $100 cash first prize. The second runner up gets sex toys, and everyone at the party will receive a free, one-month membership to Juicy Pink box. Guests can even custom-make the weekend they want.
"You can buy a pass for the weekend or just go à la carte," said Lumpkin. "Entrance to the pool party gets you two hour access to the beach party, kind of like a two-fer. It is a great value, considering that Rapture on the River was $75 per person at the door for VIP."
Party Envy...Not This Year!
Later that night, Lumpkin will team up with Danielle Presents and Sir Sabrina to host Wet, the all-girl dance party at The Ocean, hosted by GO Magazine and featuring music by DJ Roze Royce.
Although the parties have been very well received, Levine said that women often looked enviously at the men's annual dance on the beach, disappointed that there was no party by the sea planned for them.
So for the first time this year, on Sunday, women will get their own Sand Blast Beach Party, "Surfer Girl", featuring DJ Whitney Day, and welcoming the New Jersey Women's Flag Football Team.
"A big hit for the last five years has been our dance on beach, the marquee event of the weekend, where we set up a huge, 50 x 80 ft. dance floor on beach," said Hurtado. "On Saturday it's for the men, and on Sunday, it stood empty. So this year, we're launching Surfer Girl, so girls can have their own experience of a beach party."
Throw in brunch and shopping excursions, an Asbury Park art crawl, yoga on the beach, beginners surfing lessons, a women's jazz brunch on the boardwalk and a Sunday morning fun bike ride sponsored by Out Cycling, and you've got a weekend worth splashing in to!

My wife and I sail the SF Bay, Kathy has a concern for vessel traffic, so we downloaded Ship Finder to her iphone and found it had problems. When you activate the program it shows a world map then it begins a vessel location data search, soon a error pop up window appears requesting home location information and suggests you close the app and then re open it at which time one can input the home location desired.It should be noted that nn the settings configuration I have set "use gps to set home location." This setting I have to assume is a variable set to ones current location. Still the revolving door, start up, vessel location data search, error message, around and around. I have gone to the help page and the FAQ section of this site and find nothing that might solve the problem. Finally app delete eleminated the frustration but has left us in the cold. Has anyone else had problems?

"Holland never found his game in 2012. He was easily the best pitcher in 2011 from the All-Star Break to the end of the season, and it would not be surprising at all to see Holland regain that form. He is currently pitching for the US in the WBC, which should do wonders for his confidence. 180 Ks to go with a good ERA and 15+ Wins should happen in 2013."
"could be year he solidifies himself as a solid Fantasy option if he can cut down on his 1.6 HR/9 and is past the shoulder fatigue he experienced last season"

Does there exist an integral domain $R$ and an $R$-module $M$ that is not flat over $R$ such that every tensor power of $M$ over $R$ is nonzero and $R$-torsion-free? (If such a domain $R$ exists then it cannot be a Prufer domain.)
There are no examples with $M$ finitely generated. We first reduce to the case that $M$ is local. Suppose that $M^{\otimes n}$ is torsion-free for all $n$. Then any localization of $M^{\otimes n}$ is torsion-free. (See, for example, Exercise 14.5.I in Ravi's notes. I had a nagging suspicion that there was a noetherian hypothesis needed for this, but Ravi is pretty careful about that and he doesn't give one.) So, if we have proved the local case, then we know that every $M_{\mathfrak{p}}$ is flat. Flatness can be checked locally; see Ravi's proposition 25.2.3. $\def\mm{\mathfrak{m}}$ So we now assume that $R$ is local, with $\mm$ the maximal ideal and $k = R/\mm$. Suppose that $M$ is not flat. Let $V = M \otimes k$ and let $n = \dim_k V$. We will show that $M^{\otimes n}$ has torsion. Proof: Let $f_i$ be a basis of $V$ and let $e_i$ in $M$ be a preimage of $f_i$. By Nakayama's lemma, the map $R^{\oplus n} \to M$ sending $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ to $\sum x_i e_i$ is surjective so, if $M$ is not flat, it must have a kernel. In other words, there must be some $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ in $\mm^n$, not all $0$, such that $\sum x_i e_i=0$. Without loss of generality, let $x_n$ be nonzero. Set $$\Delta := \sum_{\sigma \in S_n} \epsilon(\sigma) e_{\sigma(1)} \otimes \cdots \otimes e_{\sigma(n)} \in M^{\otimes n}.$$ Here $\epsilon(\sigma)$ is the sign of the permutation $\sigma$. I claim that $\Delta$ is nonzero but $x_n \Delta =0$. Proof that $\Delta$ is nonzero: By the associativity of tensor product, $M^{\otimes n} \otimes k \cong V^{\otimes n}$. The image of $\Delta$ in $V^{\otimes n}$ is nonzero, so $\Delta$ is nonzero. Proof that $x_n \Delta=0$ is zero: Note that $$x_n e_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes e_n = e_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes e_{n-1} \otimes \left(- x_1 e_1 -x_2 e_2 -\cdots - x_{n-1} e_{n-1} \right).$$ Similarly expand each of the $n!$ terms. You get an antisymmetric expression of degree $n$ in $e_1$, ..., $e_{n-1}$, so it must be zero. | |||||||||
It is hard for me not to mention the following splendid result by Auslander-Lichtenbaum: Auslander only proved it for unfamified regular local rings (see the references here) but the key ingredient for the proof, namely certain Tor-rigidity property for finitely generated modules was later completed by Lichtenbaum. Very recently, this was generalized to some extend to non-finitely generated case in this paper. I believe Auslander's theorem extends to the case when $R$ is an isolated hypersurface singularity over a char. $0$ field and $d =\dim R$ is even (because the key ingredients are now available for that case). | |||||
Here is a vague idea for how one might prove this in general. $M$ is flat if and only if, for all finitely generated ideals $\langle x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \rangle$ of $R$, we have $\mathrm{Tor}_1(M, R/\langle x_1, \ldots, x_n \rangle) = 0$. $N$ is torsion free if and only if, for all nonzero $x$ in $R$, we have $\mathrm{Tor}_1(N, R/x)=0$. Can we somehow get a relation between $\mathrm{Tor}_1(M, R/\langle x_1, \ldots, x_n \rangle)$ and $\mathrm{Tor}_1(M^{\otimes n}, R/(x_1 \cdots x_n))$? | |||||

Each two-bedroom unit has a one-car garage and one parking space, in addition to a patio and balcony. At the time of Planning Board approval last year, the units were expected to hit the market at about $400,000 once constructed. A quick search yielded a Web site with some information and floor plans.
As reported here last year, Riverview Manor received Planning Board approval in April 2008. The former Lennington Tea House was demolished before the project broke ground later in the year.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation is publicly supporting proposed legislation in the Indiana General Assembly which will create an Indiana Motorsports Investment District that will capture state sales, income and corporate taxes at the commercial property that includes IMS for future investment in the Speedway.
"IMS is an enormous, 100-year-old facility. In addition to the many annual projects to maintain it, we need to make the Speedway more flexible, more modern and better positioned to attract more fans to IMS and Indiana," said Jeff Belskus, Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. president and chief executive officer. "In addition to funding contributed by IMS, the Motorsports Investment District will use dollars generated at IMS to enable the fan experience at the Speedway to continue to be the most enjoyable in motorsport."
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in new racing facilities, combined with upgrades at existing tracks that are publicly financed. This legislation is needed to ensure Indiana remains competitive and maintains its position as a driver for the motorsports economy, the Speedway asserts.
The Purdue Center for Regional Development released in September 2012 a report on the impact of motorsports in Indiana that showed the industry touches 91 of 92 counties in the state and includes 23,000 direct jobs that pay an average wage of nearly $63,000, which is $13,000 more than the average state wage. In fact, a study commissioned by IMS, to be released next week, indicates that 6,100 of those jobs are directly or indirectly related to IMS or IndyCar racing and contribute nearly $300 million to the Indiana economy.
"It is clear motorsports plays an important role in the success of the Indiana economy, and there is no place in the world better identified with our industry than the Indianapolis Motor Speedway," said Tom Weisenbach, Indiana Motorsports Association executive director. "This is an economic development initiative that will strengthen our tourism and hospitality industries and also help grow our state's economy."
According to the legislative proposal, at least $70 million in significant capital improvements would be made at IMS, using funding from a new Indiana Motorsports Investment District and investments made by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Potential projects that could be implemented by IMS because of this legislation include installing lights for night events at the 2.5-mile oval, the addition of high-definition video boards, LED scoring and information boards, technological upgrades designed for increased fan communication, structural renovations to stands, upgrades to seating and restrooms, and infrastructure improvements to parking, tunnels, gates and fan access points.
IMS officials indicated that the Motorsports Investment District as proposed would not financially impact the local school funding formula because it would not be funded through property tax collections.

Governor Rick Perry has promised to fight tooth and nail against implementing the Affordable Care Act. But that doesn't mean big changes aren't coming to Texas health care, and it won't save lawmakers from facing tough spending decisions.
Texas has about 6 million uninsured residents, which comes out to nearly a quarter of its population - higher than any other state.
For the 2014 to 2015 budget cycle, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission that runs the Medicaid program has asked the Legislature for an additional $6.7 billion. But Republican leaders have already pledged to increase the entire state budget by only $7 billion.
If they plan to maintain their spending cap, they will need to pare down spending on health care.

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja!
I'll be lending my voice to the new Disney XD animated show- Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja!
We have been recording for months and this show is right in the sweet spot of comedy and action for both kids and adults. Created by Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas, here's the description from Disney- "Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja follows the fast-paced adventures of unlikely hero Randy Cunningham who must protect his school and the planet from certain destruction. It combines a unique mix of full-on buddy comedy with awesome ninja action."
I play Randy Cunningham/The Ninja and the rest of the voice cast is amazing. Here's a taste of some of the series regulars and guest stars coming on the show which premieres Fall 2012 on Disney XD.

4.3 Optical networking DWDM improves the utilisation of optical fibre for point-to-point links, but a further step in exploiting the potential of optical fibre comes from optical networking in which routeing or switching is done optically. Optical networking is in its infancy, but the concept of the optical layer based upon wavelength channels is emerging. The optical layer effectively sits below the SDH layer in the network, and provides wavelength channels from one location to another. An analogy can
2.4.3 Polarization mode distortion Because light is an electromagnetic wave, it has a 'state of polarization', which, for light in single-mode fibre, is at right angles to the path of the fibre. If you've not encountered electromagnetic waves before, all you need to appreciate is that as light travels down the fibre the electromagnetic field has an orientation across the fibre (Author(s):
2.4.2 Dispersion in single-mode fibre Because there is only one mode in single-mode fibre, there is no multimode distortion but pulses are spread by dispersion.
Dispersion is the effect of different frequencies propagating at different speeds, and there are various mechanisms in optical fibre which mean that in general a fibre is dispersive. Given that dispersion takes place, a transmitted pulse will be spread because different frequency components in the pulse will take different lengths of time to propagate

6.5 Appreciating some implications for practice I think for most people, the National Health Service would be experienced as a complex situation. If so this would be a good example of perceived complexity. Remember though, if you engaged with it as if it were a difficulty you would not describe the situation as one of perceived complexity. I could not call it a complex system unless I had tried to make sense of it using systems thinking and found, or formulated, a system of interest within it. This means I would have to have a stake in the
3.2 Making sense of the metaphor The metaphor of the juggler keeping the four balls in the air is a powerful way for me to think about what I do when I try to be effective in my practice. It matches with my experience: it takes concentration and skill to do it well. But metaphors conceal features of experience, as well as calling them to attention. The juggler metaphor conceals that the four elements of effective practice often seem to be related. I cannot juggle them as if they were independent of each other. I can imagine
5.5 Rhetorical devices I talked a bit about Ned's motivations, but I am not quite sure about what he is trying to do to be persuasive. He has this interest in aesthetics, but in giving a detailed explanation of a military technology he is working on, he, from time to time, uses an analogy. One analogy he uses is the 'flocking of starlings', which illustrates rather the principle of operation of the technology and suggests that it is a kind of an existence proof. It implies this technology might actually work. B

3.2 Business operations: function or process? Traditionally, an enterprise's activities are organised according to a structure based on the well-known business functions: marketing, purchasing, finance, human resources, research and development (R&D), operations, and so on. The exact function title varies from organisation to organisation, but each function has its own more or less well-defined sphere of activity. It carries out its various tasks and passes on information or artefacts to other functions for them to work on. For example,
7.3.3 Plasmas More control can be achieved in vapour deposition if a plasma is generated. A plasma is simply a gas where a proportion of the molecules have been ionised. The ions remain in an uneasy equilibrium with the electrons they have released, prevented from recombining only because the electrons are hot and fast-moving, and so are difficult to trap. Plasmas are widely used in materials processing, with pressure ranging from 10−3 mbar to 1 mbar and typically up to 1% of the molecul
3.6.1 Stiffness Just how compliant does an AFM cantilever have to be to enable it to follow the undulations in a surface on an atomic scale? How can we find out? It turns out that this is easier than at first it seems. A simple assumption we can make is that the compliance of the cantilever should be appreciably greater than that of a typical bond that holds atoms to one another. Here's one way in which a rough estimate of the stiffness (the force required to cause a given deflection) of the bonds in a

3.1.3 Micro lenses A smart way to compensate for surrendering area to data transfer is to build in microscopic lenses at each pixel: the processing sequence that is used to manufacture the MOS devices already involves transparent polymeric material and, calling again on the ingenuity of the designers of microelectronics, significant enhancement to optical efficiency can be won.
2 Specifications for image capture This section is about the performance specification for a captured image. Cameras do not attempt to copy the way in which light signals are detected and processed by nerve cells in the eye – the latter is based on quite different principles from those we have seen here, using changes in molecular shape within proteins to detect light and initiate a response. Photography began as a means of capturing images that the human eye would have seen. That task involves obtaining full-colour i

Damask Black and White Baby Shower Inspiration
Going the extra mile to spruce up your tables can have a big visual impact at your baby shower. Using nontraditional patterns such as black and white damask will leave your guests in awe. Google defines damask as "A rich silk fabric woven with elaborate designs and figures, produced by complicated weaving, often of a variety of colors." When you think of the swirly pattern, you may think Grandma's boring kitchen table linens or ugly floral patterns…or just plain old…old! But think again, because damask is back! From the runway-ready clothing and accessories to the latest couture table settings, the Damask pattern has reinvented itself and is a fabulous way to accent tables…or anything for the matter in a unique and visually stimulating way! It says "elegant" "vintage" and "ultra-modern" simultaneously.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — An assistant state attorney general accused of harassing the gay student assembly president at the University of Michigan has been fired.
Lawyer Philip Thomas says his client Andrew Shirvell was fired Monday.
Shirvell was at a disciplinary hearing Monday at the Michigan attorney general's office related to the issue.
The attorney general's office is declining immediate comment.
Shirvell went on leave about a month ago after national criticism erupted over a blog he wrote characterizing student leader Chris Armstrong as a "racist" and "liar" who promoted a "radical homosexual agenda."
Thomas has said Shirvell's actions were constitutionally protected as free speech.

CONWAY, S.C. - Trey Freeman scored 22 points as Campbell defeated Presbyterian 81-73 in overtime Tuesday night in the first round of the Big South Conference tournament.
Marvelle Harris added 15 points for the Camels (13-19), the North Division's third seed, including consecutive baskets late in the extra period.
Harris' jumper gave Campbell a 75-69 lead with 1:24 remaining after Joshua Clyburn missed two free throws for the Blue Hose (8-24), the No. 6 South seed. Harris added a layup at the 54-second mark after a turnover by Khalid Mutakabbir.
Mutakabbir's 3-pointer with 3 seconds in regulation tied the game 67-67 after his steal 5 seconds earlier. Presbyterian trailed 72-67 before Eric Washington's layup made it a 3-point game with 0:12 left.
Freeman had five assists and three steals for Campbell, which will play Gardner-Webb on Thursday night.
Mutakabbir had 19 points, Clyburn 16 and Washington 12 points with 10 assists for Presbyterian.
