I may someday support a resolution opposing tar sands oil going through the nearby pipeline, such as the one whooped through the recent special town meeting, but not now, and here's why.
Everything I've heard or read about this issue comes from the same side of the issue. There just has to be another side – there always is – and we deserve to hear from that side. No rational judge would send the jury off to deliberate after hearing only the prosecution's case, not without at least asking the defense if they'd like to say something. But that is what happened at this special town meeting.
For example, I'd love to hear what somebody in the pipeline industry might have to say about the part of Bethel's resolution that says
WHEREAS, between 2007 and 2010 pipelines already carrying tar sands oil in North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan spilled almost three times more oil per mile of pipeline compared with the U.S. National average.
Why just those four states – are they the only ones with pipelines carrying tar sands oil, or are they the only ones with spills? Why just 2007 through 2010 – are those the only years that pipelines carried tar sands oil, or are they the only years with spills?
I'd also like to hear what the record of the nearby pipeline has been over the past six decades.
I have to wonder why anyone would bother to pipe tar sands oil from Montreal to Portland only to put every last bit of it onto a tanker to somewhere else, as the resolution's proponents suggest. Wouldn't it be less expensive just to put it onto that same tanker in Montreal? After all, Montreal is on the St. Lawrence Seaway.
This resolution made a point of saying that this pipeline passes along and crosses under rivers. But how could it be otherwise? You can't get from Portland to Montreal without crossing rivers – not now, not in 1950 when this pipeline was built, and not since the glaciers went away. Of course this pipeline passes along rivers. That's the easiest way to get from here to there – the rivers already took the easiest way. That's why highways pass along rivers, and why railroads do the same. From here to Gorham, you'll find that Route 2, the Androscoggin River, and the railroad are never very far apart.
Why couldn't this issue have waited for the regular June town meeting, when it could be considered by folks other than partisans of this particular issue? To my knowledge, no date has been announced for tar sands oil running through this pipeline. I don't know that even an undated announcement has been made. Does it really make a difference if some other towns put their oar in the water first?
Decades ago, when I was a mere engineer reporting to a director of engineering, I used to get annoyed when my boss insisted on deferring decisions about whether I should proceed this way or that. One day he told me, "Scott, here's how it works. If it is not necessary to make this decision right now, then it is necessary not to make this decision right now." I really didn't like hearing that at the time, but I've thought about it over the years and decided that, dammit, he was right.
Our selectmen should have put this resolution on the agenda for our regular town meeting, and they should have invited, not disallowed, any opposing viewpoints to be heard.

Burial Within
Self Titled
It's not every day I get the chance to review a metal band from the south, so I immediately leapt upon the chance of reviewing Tennessee upstarts Burial Within. Sharing a locale with bands such as Epoch of Unlight and Brodequin is always a good way to raise interest for me, especially when they're not too far of a drive from my own hometown.
It's not really that I expected an earth shattering production from an unsigned band; I just didn't expect everything to sound this hollow and distant. After the first initial shock you get used to it. The fact that most of the percussion work is completely overpowered by the kick drum and an echoing snare seriously bothers me. Nor am I too impressed with one of the band members shouting "yeah" at whomever the fuck at the end of "Obsessed with Suffering". That really should not have been left in there; it comes off as just a wee bit unprofessional.
"Of no Consequence" is about as good as it gets really, drawing parallels to they style of Beneath the Massacre. Its not exactly astounding, but despite its extremely unimaginative and hackneyed riffs it at the very least holds attention. "Fear as a Weapon" starts the downward spiral of by the numbers death metal through beating the dead horse of conventionalism without daring to step out of the safety of familiar musicality. "Legacy of Failure" is a somewhat bland affair that never manages to stay entertaining for more than a few seconds before it flounders around in more pointless riffing that really sounds slapped together rather than a deliberate, coherent musical vision that has a focused direction. "Obsessed with Suffering" continues the album's trepidation, walking carefully along worn lines of employing recycled riffs courtesy of The Red Chord and Between the Buried and Me while "A Life in Decay" ends the album on a disappointing note altogether. They at least save the album from going on a whole sale crap fest, but the reliance on simplistic, unimaginative breakdowns and dumbed down chugging ala Cephalic Carnage is a serious concern I have with Burial Within.
I have no doubt these guys can seriously tear shit up live, but I am extremely unconvinced that this is anything but an average, mediocre, run of the mill experiment in deathcore. All in all, this is astonishingly bland.

Incumbent or new president so there's weakness that to be expected next year -- people -- probably up into the first quarter in the and be right for okay -- base got rental what what do you say it was stocks what they do doesn't matter whether Obama or loved.
Romney went.
Well Dennis I think what's going to happen is is in my experience anyway you know if one candidate or the other has big lead here.
Over the course of the next let's say two months going into the election you could see some fireworks there.
But after the election whoever wins I think the effect is going to be -- two or three week type of situation because really the market's going to get back pretty quick.
To trading off of hey what are earnings in the economy going -- going to do over the next twelve to eighteen months whoever wins.
You know it's tough to change the course of the economy quickly and I think the market.

A college town for retirees: Ithaca, N.Y.
College towns like Ithaca can be an ideal place to retire. For a median home price of just $176,500, retirees can take classes at Cornell University or Ithaca College and attend speeches, concerts, and sporting events. They can also spend their days hiking to the more than 100 waterfalls and gorges within 10 miles of downtown or sampling the wares of the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail. Don Wilson, 65, a retired cardiologist from Rockford, Ill., bicycles throughout the Finger Lakes region three times a week. "The rural roads in the Finger Lakes region have so little traffic that you can ride three or four abreast on a bicycle in continuous conversation, learning from each other," he says. Wilson has also developed an interest in paleontology, and is taking a course on the subject at Cornell University and conducting research on fossils at the Museum of the Earth. "I think that university towns tend to attract interesting organizations, like the Museum of the Earth, and interesting people who may or may not be connected with the college."

Place to launch a second career: Lincoln, Neb.
Clague Hodgson, 65, retired early from a faculty position at the Creighton University School of Medicine and founded his own biotech company, Nature Technology Corporation, in 1998. His Lincoln-based business now employs eight people who investigate the use of DNA as a medicine. Hodgson says the city's low unemployment rate and proximity to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln make it an excellent place to launch a second career. "The University of Nebraska Technology Park really takes a lot of the weight off your shoulders," he says. "For an entrepreneur, remaining affiliated with the university is a good source of information, the library is very helpful, and occasionally we collaborate with researchers there." Nebraska's state capitol had an unemployment rate of just 3.5 percent in 2010, among the lowest in the country. According to Onboard Informatics data, the city has added more than 15,000 jobs since 2000, many of which are in fields known to hire older workers, including government, higher education, and healthcare.

Best mix of affordability and amenities: Pittsburgh, Pa.
Pittsburgh has a low cost of living coupled with a wide variety of amenities that retirees will need as they age. The median home sale price was $97,900 in 2010, which is unusual for a city with a large university and top-notch hospitals. Senior citizens age 65 and older with proper identification are entitled to ride Port Authority buses and trains for free. You'll just have to decide whether you want season tickets to the ballet, symphony, or Steelers games, assuming all three won't fit into your retirement budget.
[See America's Best Affordable Places to Retire.]
Best place for affordable housing: Port Charlotte, Fla.
Port Charlotte home prices were battered by the housing bust, which could mean bargains for retirees new to the area. The median home sale price was a shockingly low $59,950 in 2010. And many of these homes are located along canals and waterways. "There are a tremendous number of houses on the water, and everybody's got their boats in their backyard," says retiree Chris Zwirner, 78. "All the people who live on water essentially have access to the Gulf of Mexico, and from there you can go around the world." The Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park spans 42,000 acres, including 70 miles of shoreline along the Charlotte Harbor. An added bonus: Florida has no state income tax.

An explanation to our sponsors about the school in Fond Verette
Founded and incorporated in 2008 in the state of New York, Friends of Haiti in NY Corp. is a unique organization whose mission is to assist the movement in Haiti towards true independence. Education, healthcare and sustainable economic development are seen as a necessary foundation for a flourishing independent democracy in Haiti.
Friends of Haiti in NY provides a fund-raising and publicizing venue for local initiatives in rural, impoverished areas of Haiti — including the school communities in Fond Verrettes and LaKay, the artisans co-operative in Verrettes, Artibonite and other projects to come. These projects are part of a grassroots movement that seeks to improve the lives of Haitians on a project by project, small-scale basis.
Our collaboration with these projects is based on the premise that these need to be run by Haitians who live and work in the community. Friends of Haiti in NY provide financial support for these projects and offers input about their goals and organization. We believe that the Haitian people understand best how development is achieved in their community. But we have to take into account that they have become isolated and cut off from the modern world and that there is a sense of discouragement about the lack of vision and planning of Haiti's political leadership. Friends of Haiti in NY believe that helping these rural impoverished communities are not only a matter of transferring money but as importantly, providing these communities with a window on the world.
Friends of Haiti in NY focus its funding and input for 2010 in four main project areas:
- Education: Building a school in Fond Verette in collaboration with the local organization HHCAP; curriculum?
- Health care: Providing clean water to the community of Fond Verrettes.
- Sustainable Economic Development: Fanm Veret, a women's group in Verrettes, Artibonite that makes felted sleeves for Mac Books and dolls, received funding to become a legal co-operative and will receive funding in 2010 to obtain business and leadership training. In addition, Friends of Haiti in NY has initiated a project to revitalize the growing of cotton – once a main product of Haiti. Growing and processing of cotton will generate employment amongst the poorest; it will provide women's groups such as Fanm Veret with a local material to work with. Sustainable agricultural projects help increase food security and income for peasant families. Many of these projects benefit women, who bear more of the burden in the agricultural economy.
- Environment. The conservation of Haiti's waning natural resources is central to all our projects. Community irrigation systems help communities secure safe and efficient water supplies
- Organizational and Leadership Training: We provide organizational and leadership development training programs for women's associations, such as the new co-operative Fanm Veret.

In choosing the right solar powered garden lights, you'll want to think about desired ambiance, functionality, installation, and budget. Browse the different types of garden lights below, or sort by price or best selling models.
There are several types of solar garden lights available, choosing which is right will again depend on functionality or desired ambiance. For each type has advantages and disadvantages. One of the most popular types is the solar garden rock light. Which, obviously enough, looks just like a rock. Made from tough raisin material, rock garden lights can look so realistic they can be made to blend well with the existing garden setting. Rock garden lights are the best choice if you want a solar garden light that will look natural in your existing landscape design.
The use of solar garden lights has become a growing trend among many garden owners. They are popular because of the many advantages and benefits they offer. These lights are more energy-efficient compared to electric garden lights and they also prove to be more cost-efficient in the long run. In addition, they provide an aesthetic appeal to gardens, thereby significantly raising the value of a property.
Another type of solar garden light is the spot light. Spot or solar flood lights can come in various sizes and designs. They can be bought in short or long sizes, so garden owners have a choice of the kind and size of spot light that will best complement the other decors in their gardens. These garden lights can add extreme appeal to gardens if placed on the right angles and areas of the garden landscape. The downside to these types of solar garden lighting is that they may not last long during the entire night. Solar spot lights store only a certain amount of energy that may not be enough to fuel the lighting fixture within long periods of time. Solar spot lights are best for use only for certain periods of time during the night.
Solar flood lights are still another type of solar garden light that is enjoying popularity nowadays. They are often used to give dramatic effects in gardens. Moreover, they are used to provide added safety and security to the entire property. Solar flood lights emit a bright light that covers a wide area of the garden landscape. Their bright lights can discourage intruders and suspicious characters from entering any part of the garden during the night.
The different advantages and benefits as well as the particular uses of each type of solar garden light are factors that must be considered when purchasing any of these types of garden lighting. All types can be energy efficient but they may differ on how they add appeal to gardens.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Starry Night
"This is a recipe I have perfected on my own through the years. I am one who never measures, so take the measurements as a guide, not as law. This recipe is one that my family members beg me to make all the time! Enjoy!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 bunch green onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, divided
6 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 egg
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
8 cups chicken broth
16 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (optional)
1 medium head bok choy, torn into 2-inch pieces
16 snow peas
1 dash soy sauce, or to taste (optional)
1 dash sesame oil, to taste (optional)
Great recipe! I grew up with my mother making wonton soup on cold days. One tip I can offer is boiling the wontons separately from the broth in just plain water, 3-5 min. The reason being, the wonton wrappers are dusted with flour and it can cloud the broth or slightly thicken it. Wonton broth is supposed to be clear and thin. After boiling the wontons strain and add to the soup. If you want a more filling meal you can add egg noodles (refrigerated section of asian market) to the dish for wonton noodle soup. Boil noodles separately as well then add to soup. A little more work but so worth it!
I did not care for this recipe. Sesame oil was a bad thought on this recipe. We were all so excited to make this being wonton soup is my family's favorite soup. The flavors were all wrong. This recipe winds up costing more that buying it from your local restaurant. I was extremely disappointed and we will not be modifying this recipe or making it again.

Absolutely wonderful. I altered the recipe a little b/c I didn't have all the ingredients, but it was still fantastic. This is also a wonderful base recipe, as you can add more vegetables or seasoning to get exactly what you want. The ONLY thing is, the recipe itself makes A LOT, and I would actually suggest halving it. oh, and if anyone is reluctant to try this b/c making wontons sounds difficult, its really SO easy. Thank you so much for such a wonderful treat!
From the author. I am so glad everyone is loving this recipe as our family does, the wontons are time consuming but well worth it. I probably should have made the recipe smaller but we love the leftovers here and I always make this much. Also, if you are going to freeze some, it's better to freeze the meat mixture leftovers separately before you make the wontons and then make the wontons fresh the next time you make it. I am also using a reviewers idea now and boiling the wontons separately, great idea! I also think I made an error in the recipe as the wontons never really sink, but they only take about 5 minutes to cook thoroughly. OchTamale97.. my very picky 5 year old LOVES this soup as well and it is so healthy, it's great for kids!
Excellent! I love this soup, it's my new favorite! I did make a few changes due to what I had on hand: I used mild Italian sausage, casings removed. Therefor, I didn't use the egg or salt and pepper (they didn't need it, sausage is bound and seasoned already). This slightly changes the flavor of the wontons, and I think I will try it again using only the ground pork. I also halved the recipe, and further reduced the sesame oil, which I find very pungent. I can still taste it (I'm eating this as we speak) and enjoy it, but I think the full amount might be overpowering to me. As for assembling the wontons, here are some tips: there is a learning curve...1tbsp of filling was way too much to try to squeeze in there, I used a biggish tsp. and even then they are large to get in your mouth. Use VERY little water to moisten the edges, or they just slide around. Stop caring about trying to make them pretty shapes, and just do triangles if you're all thumbs like me. For those that aren't seafood lovers, leave out the shrimp entirely instead of just not adding it to your own bowl...I can certainly taste the shrimp in the broth (which I love!). I didn't have the peas, so I added extra greens from the bok choy. And extra green onions. Over all, this is a delightful dish, thanks for sharing! PS- thank you to the reviewer who advised boiling the wontons in their own pot...BUT if you do this step, do not leave them sitting in a wire colander...they stick, lol.
Wow. I followed the recipe exactly, with the exception of using Morningstar Farms burger crumbles instead of pork (please note I let them thaw and then used them just like meat). I also didn't use shrimp. The soup was amazing. I'm making my second batch tonight. The flavoring is absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe!
Oh My! This was good! I did substitutions based on what I had on hand. I didn't have the Ground Pork, but I did have bacon bits (don't laugh, it worked!!!), so I used 1/4 cup bacon (any more than that and it would have been too salty). In other recipes I saw on other sites, the broth was made using pork bones and shrimp shells, so I wrapped the bacon in cheese cloth and steeped it in the broth for 10 minutes. I threw my frozen shrimp in the broth to defrost and pulled it out after about 5 minutes. I also added 1 small knob of fresh ginger, sliced into 5 pieces, and let that steep for 45 minutes. The broth ended up having a full, rich complex flavor that is amazing. I then ran the bacon bits through my Magic Bullet to make the pieces less chewy and it gave it a great texture. I coarsley chopped the shrimp, put it in the green onion and bacon mixture, and kept everything else the same, except I didn't need to add salt due to the saltiness of the bacon. I found that I could barely fit 1/2 teaspoon of the mixture onto the wonton and still fold it without tearing. As a result, I ended up with 50 wontons!!! I also cooked the wonton's separate from the broth, then added them when done. This ended up being a phenomenal comfort food! Sure it took a while to make the wontons, but I sat and listened to good music while making them so it wasn't a chore! Thank you, Starry Night for a wonderful base that can even be modified to what's on hand. Now, back to my soup!!!
This is a great recipe. I made it exactly as written except I made a half recipe and it was perfect for two as a main course with a side of Chinese ribs. You can adjust it with different vegies but the recipe is a real keeper. MSO said it was better than we get at our favorite Chinese cafe. Thanks Starry Night.

May I give a REALLY strong crit here, P.R.?
done with finals on a two week break, and hope to get a couple more pages done before the Xmas art swap looms upon me. so behold!
as before I seek the collective blob of wisdom, and any of your thoughts on the latest page, any tips, or crits you'd be kind enough to throw my way would be much very appreciated
for the previous pages, click here for your viewing and continuity maintaining pleasure, as well as an opoerunity to throw any crit their way.
Page 1 thread discussing it
Page 2 and the thread discussing this one,
Page 3 and so on,
Page 4 and so forth
and without further ado,
right alfter scanning I realze I screwed up the Bay's legs in the first panel, ah well, will fix.
May I give a REALLY strong crit here, P.R.?
Thats kind of ominous, lol..
Be my guest man, thats why i posted them,
This crit is going to just be a few questions.
What or whom are your artistic influences?
What steps do you take to improve your SEQUENTIAL art?
Tom Grummett and Scott McDaniel were big influences when I first got into comics, once I got into Manga Yukito Kishiro and Masamune Shirow. I really try to emulate their high level of detail when I can, and I really love the cyberpunk style stuff they do. of course since I'm doing a western im not really doing that.
the whole Ennis/Dillon Preacher run had an enormous influence on me, and I really like Steve Dillon. Will James is also a big influence.
one of the reasons I wanted to do a western was my disgust with how western comics are drawn without any intrest in proper horse anatomy, technical accuracy ect. I grew up into a ranching family, and have been around horses and cowboys all my life, traveled with rodeo companies and wild west shows, but even friends of mine who have only been around ranching a short while become experts in a short while. the old west has been heavily documented and there are many people immersed in the lifestyle who are eager to share their knowledge. it irritates me to no end to see a horse with a deformed neck, and some clown drawing a guy with his spurs on upside down and a saddle that never existed and has no logical way of staying on a horse's back. dispite a good story all the little details being screwed up bugs me to no end
sorry, got on a bit of a tear there.
Will James and Fredrick Remington were the premere western artists of their time, and still remain the standard of quality. I tend to prefer James though becouse he was an actual working cowboy, and has a better understanding of Bucking physics, he can make a horse look like he's exploding off the page.
as for improving my sequental work,
I really haven't done that many, maybe twenty or thirty pages, and fifteen of those were over 10 years ago. I'm really trying to keep my panels varied, and keep proper eyeflow. I had several correct comments that I was using too many large panels in the previous pages, so this page is an effort to improve that.
this script has also been an excercise in just using expressions, and conveying the story without using any dialogue whatsoever, when it's done I'll really need to remember to leave room for lettering in future stories.
really I'm just trying to get as many as I can drawn and posted, and hope those more skilled than I can tell me what I'm doing right or wrong. I've improved some in the year I've been posting here, but every time I see guys like Loston or Alex post their pages I see how far I've got to go.
had a lot more to say there than I thought I did I guess, lol
Hey! what happened to Charles Russell!....un like Remington who hung around the Calvary ( and has done some Butt-Kicking Work )...Russell lived the Cowboy Indian Days....even trading his work at Saloons for Drink
Just thought I'd throw that in..
My Uncle was a rancher,so I'm quite familiar with horse's and Cattle and Branding season
Russell's cool too, forgot about him 'couse I've been reading so many will james books the last couple of years.
my Dad's a huge Cavalry reenactor and history buff, so I got a lot of Remington to look at as a kid.
we'll have to compare branding stories sometime, heh you use a squeeze chute or did you just rope them?
We would cut them off from there mothers ( the calf's... so they alone were in the corral about 30 of them ) then rope them...Drag'em as close to the fire as dared ( their kicking and being had to get ) grab them over and under an Throw-em on there side's while a roper pulled on the legs also...( Some time the Calf came right down on top of ya..) Hold them down with all ya had while my Uncle Cut gave shots de-horned,notched ears and then Branded....by the end of the day you were more tired than any football player dreamed lol
If you look at some of what you wrote regarding your sequential art, you'll find that you have already identified some of the things that could have been done better with this piece. I would like to see a bit more action (passive action as opposed to in your face superguy action if you know what I mean) in the panels. Some variation in angles and such can easily accomplish this; try doing angles that are difficult for you. Also, don't confine yourself with the panel boxes. It will literally change your art, normally in the way you don't want.
Not a bad Crit Noel...
so are young Jedi knows the path....

Quick! Turn on zee tv before zee ghosts get us.
South Asian Television broadcaster Zee TV and interactive agency Xenium worked together to develop this wonderful augmented reality experience to promote the upcoming horror show, "Fear Files", using the metaio Design software.
Installed at a popular shopping mall, participants were treated to a "ghostly" experience as they entered the darkened, covered area where they were greeted with only a large television screen featuring a live camera feed of the participants, mirroring their movements and stance.
When they stepped on the designated floor marker, a ghost child began to appear, as though he were there in real life, creeping out behind the person standing there. Then the scary music started playing, the child would make a "curse" gesture and the participant or participants would just disappear.
Said a representative of Xenium, "In the end the participants were stunned with the experience, with long lasting fear lingering in mind."
(Mission accomplished)
Check out the video and the links above for more information! And of course you'll be able learn more about these awesome augmented reality projects, and more like them at our upcoming Augmented Reality conference, insideAR, Oct 1-2 in Munich. We hope you can join us!

If Addictions Can Be Treated, Why Aren't They?
Charles P. O'Brien, M.D., PhD., University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine
alcoholism naltrexone
Stephen M Cox MD
I'm the President of the National Anxiety Foundation and a longtime supporter of the DANA Foundation. We have jumped the fence of anxiety disorders to include in our website the Sinclair Method of using naltrexone extinction of excessive alcohol consumption. This is because alcoholism can quite often be a resultant, co-morbid consequence of poorly treated anxiety disorders; it has been for thousands of years. The simple process of taking a cheap pill of generic 50mg Naltrexone one hour before drinking alcohol has been resolving the plague of alcoholism in my private patients at a rate of 75% or better at a one year follow-up for the past three years! I was fortunate to learn how to do this by my friend David Sinclair PhD of Finland who did the naltrexone research there and by his friend Roy Eskapa PhD author of The Cure for Alcoholism. I too was hesitant to try it, "This can't work. It is too easy. It's too good to be true." My resolve in using this treatment was later steeled by Dr. Anton's COMBINE research attesting to the validity of the treatment as well as the US federal government's TIPS publications vouching for the effectiveness of the approach. So I tried it hesitantly at first. It DID work. And robustly so over 3-9 months. And, at no expense of hospitals, specialty counseling, or time consuming meetings. I encourage my psychiatric colleagues and primary care physicians to read Dr. Eskapa's book which clearly explains how the medication needs to be prescribed in order to work. You see, naltrexone will not work for your patients if they take it as the package insert instructs. There's a finesse in naltrexone's use that Dr. Sinclair discovered years ago. I'm not against AA at all. We still absolutely need traditional alcoholism treatment as there is a 12% failure rate and a dropout rate of 10%. But the Sinclair Method of using naltrexone should be the first choice due to being 300% more likely to resolve alcoholism; and, doing so for about $900 instead of tens of thousands of dollars. We need both the Sinclair Method and traditional treatments. Hats off to the DANA Foundation for bringing direly needed attention to this breakthrough miracle which is sitting in the corner of our modern medicine world, nearly ignored!
alcohol treatment
Edward W Wilson, Ph.D.
My colleague, Dr. Mary Ellen Barnes, and I use all of the effective and research proven methods currently available, including Dr. Jane Loevinger's Sentence Completion Test which identifies those for whom AA is a viable option from those it harms, to provide custom tailored treatment. But as long as "alcoholism" -- or "addiction" -- is seen as a chronic "disease" rather than a symptom, treatment is doomed. Of course it's important to note that traditional treatment providers don't want anything to do that interfers with the current 95% failure rate and the extremely luicrative revolving door that fuels those profits. Again, follow the money and the answers appear - ineffectual and/or counterproductive approaches, unskilled and untrained (read cheap) staff, and a vested interest in client failure. That's the real reason why treatment isn't being done.
Addiction treatment(3)
Steve Castleman
A thoughtful commentary, thank you. I have nothing against using drugs to treat addiction. Indeed, antabuse helped save my life. It foreclosed drinking as an option for this alcoholic and taught me that I could withstand the circumstances that led to cravings, which I was previously unable to deal with without relapsing. However, addiction is a chronic disease that requires substantial behavioral changes to manage on a day-to-day basis. So in my experience drug therapy alone wasn't sufficient. Both psychotherapy and participation in Alcoholics Anonymous were instrumental in learning how to live sober, eventually making antabuse unneccessary for my continued (now 13+ years) sobriety. Thus, in my (humble) opinion, addiction treatment should be holistic. Drug therapies can be helpful, especially in dealing with cravings, but they aren't sufficient. Treatment should include behavioral/psychosocial components as well. The best treatment strategies combine science (doctors, psychotherapists, etc.) and the experience of addicts who have learned how to stay sober, whether through 12-Step programs or others like Smart Recovery, etc. Too often doctors discount the experience of sober addicts and sober addicts discount the knowledge and experience of doctors. That's a shame, as the knowledge and experience of both groups should be integrated for the best chance at success. Education and treatment which integrates the wisdom of both groups is key. For a not-for-profit website that does that, discussing the science of substance use and abuse in accessible English (how alcohol and drugs work in the brain; how addiction develops; why addiction is a chronic, progressive brain disease; what parts of the brain malfunction as a result of substance abuse; how that malfunction skews decision-making and motivation, resulting in addict behaviors; why some get addicted while others don't; how treatment works; how well treatment works; why relapse is common; what family and friends can do; etc.) please click on www.AddictScience.com.

Debate Anyone?
Today I'll hit on a couple of options for the AL Rookie of the Year, discuss a pitcher who is slowly fading, and then discuss which of two top-flight options I would choose to hold on to for the 2010 season.
Elvis Andrus has had a wonderful season for the Rangers, but please, stop the Rookie of the Year talk. Andrus is hitting .267 with a .325 OBP, and both those numbers are below average for an AL player. Plus, he has no pop at the dish with six homer and 34 RBI, and though he plays a tough position (shortstop), his 22 errors are tied with Orlando Cabrera's total for the worst mark in the American League. If I'm making the call, and face it they would never let me because I would actually make a rationally, cogent argument based on a foundation of data and not merely some asinine arbitrary argument that others will use, the answer is Andrew Bailey of the A's. When Joey Devine went down with elbow surgery, and Brad Ziegler struggled, Bailey was thrust into the closers role in Oakland, and he has performed spectacularly: 6-3, 1.93 ERA, 0.91 WHIP with a 9.87 K/9 mark and 25 saves. In addition, he has blown only four chances this season, and he has been as good in the second half (1.95 ERA, 0.80 WHIP) as the first half (1.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP). That's good stuff my friends.
Scott Feldman gave up seven runs while recording just 10 outs against the A's on Thursday to drop to 17-6 while seeing his ERA increase to 3.90. This is the second time in three outings that he has allowed at least six earned runs in an outing, and the second time in those three starts that he was saddled with a loss, this after seven straight victories. I'm amazed he has hung on this long. He has no strikeout potential, he pitches for the Rangers, and he owned a 4.97 ERA and 1.48 ERA in 241 innings coming into the year.
I write a piece every week entitled Taking Sides, and there was one battle I didn't get to there that I thought I would touch on here (the basic idea is to choose which player would I prefer to have on my squad in 2010).
Matt Holliday: .312-24-104-91-14 in 554 ABs
Ryan Braun: .315-29-103-105-16 in 588 ABs
Matt Holliday was hitting .286 with 11 homers and 54 RBI in 93 games with the A's this season, and the only thing he was doing at previous levels was stealing bases (he had 12). Flash forward a couple of months, and lo and behold Holliday is back to being a stud. In just 55 games with the Cards Holliday has 13 homer and 50 RBI basically matching his A's totals in 38 fewer games. He has also hit a blistering .356 in the NL. Seems like St. Louis suits him. All told, He is just nine runs from his fourth straight 100 effort, and he has now gone over 100 RBI in three of four years while his .312 batting average is just six points below his career mark.
Braun is a stud in his own right. In just three seasons Braun has hit at least .285 with at least 29 homers, 97 RBI, 91 runs and 14 steals in every season. This year he has walked a career-high 56 times leading to a .384 OBP, a career best, which has helped to offset his three year low of .541 in the SLG department (still a strong mark). Oh, and don't even think about pitching to him if you are left-handed, he simply demolishes those guys: .414/.496/.766 in 111 at-bats. That's ripping it up. What makes him an intriguing play is the fact that he has swiped at least 14 bags in each of his three big league seasons (his rookie season was just 118 games by the way).
Whose Side?: If Holliday stays in St. Louis, he is a free agent, I would be greatly intrigued at the potential of holding on to Holliday. However, until the time that he is locked up by the Redbirds, the choice here has to be Braun who has been about as consistent as any player in baseball in his first three seasons in the show (my apologies to Albert Pujols).

The USAF's X-37B Secret Space Plane Appears to Be Tracking China's New Space Station
Here at PopSci we don't like to spread rumors. And that's how I generally like to start off a post wherein I intend to propagate some kind of hearsay rooted mostly in speculation. Hearsay like this: America's X-37B spaceplane, the shuttle-like unmanned robotic orbiter that the Air Force put into orbit for the second time back in March, is probably (possibly) spying on China's Tiangong-1 space station.
At least, that's what we heard. Specifically, that's what the Web is hearing today via Spaceflight magazine, which is reporting that the X-37B currently circling the globe is in an orbit that closely mimics that of China's experimental space station. And given the fact that many in the space community--including the U.S. Air Force, owners of the X-37B--are somewhat wary of China's space ambitions, who are we to say that Spaceflight mag is wrong?
First, the facts. We know that Tiangong-1--which was launched back in September and is slated to host a manned crew sometime later this year--is in an orbit with an inclination of 42.78 degrees at an altitude of roughly 186 miles. And we know--not from the Pentagon but from a group of vigilant amateur space trackers--that the X-37B is orbiting at about the same altitude and at an inclination of 42.79 degrees. Not only is that orbit strange for a military recon satellite--they usually have polar orbits that offer better access to the entire globe--but it would periodically bring the two orbiters very close together.
Of course, the leap that's being made--that the reason X-37B and Tiangong are on such similar paths is because the former is spying on the latter--is speculation entirely. The 30-foot X-37B has a cargo bay roughly akin to the interior space of a van, and there's no telling what kind of sensors or other equipment might be stowed in there. And though China has been somewhat forthcoming about Tiangong-1's mission, we can't really be sure about that either. Putting them on the same orbital path is practically a recipe for rampant speculation.
Tiangong-1 is small precursor space station China is developing as a technology testbed for the 66-ton space station it hopes to have underway by 2020 (the People's Republic recently docked a Shenzou spacecraft with Tiangong-1, showing the world just how far its on-orbit capabilities have come). But given the fact that China draws no real distinction between its civilian, science-oriented space endeavors and its military space ambitions (in fact, it was a military officer who offered the congratulatory speech to Tiangong's mission handlers after the docking), the rest of the world has reason to be wary of what's going on aboard Tiangong-1.
So is the Air Force's X-37B up there shadowing a Chinese space station, keeping an eye out for any shady, militaristic activities? We have no idea. That's just what we heard.
Related Articles
It would be so beautiful if the X-37B do a roll over a window and hopeful see an astronaut. Then a robotic arm comes out with a Polaroid camera on the end and takes a picture.
Priceless! lol
Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.
This story was on BBC World News earlier this morning. The spying could be both ways. Or it could just be one of those things. The second flight of the X-37B went up in March as the Tiangong 1 went up in September. Intelligence could suggest the Air Force knew what orbit the station would be in and predetermined the orbit for the X-37B before the first module of the station launched. Maybe the opposite happened and Chinese Military officials gleaned the position of the spaceplane and set the station on a course for observation of the secretive spacecraft. Clandestine operations go to space. Before you know it will have kinetic exchanges between vehicles in space. Then we'll truly be in the Star Trek era, just prior to a Third World War.
Awesome idea redbull. What the story doesn't say is that when the X-37 got close to the station it saw a bumper sticker that read "unless you're a hemroid get off my ass."
If we had a space war in low earth orbit, it would be our last. There would be so much debris that we wouldn't be able to launch anything for decades, if not longer.
Science always asks "can we," but doesn't seem to ask "should we."
This: "the X-37B went up in MARCH - the Tiangong 1 went up in SEPTEMBER. Intelligence could suggest the Air Force knew what orbit the station would be in and predetermined the orbit for the X-37B" (seems unlikely - China would have been tracking the X-37B, and would then have chosen a different orbit for the station.)
Which leaves but one probable conclusion...
There's something ELSE up there, orbiting at ~42.785 degrees, that BOTH the US and CHINA have spotted, and want to get a peek at.
Let me be the first to say that I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords ('cos pretty sure the Chinese aren't sending up a diplomat!)
A little bit of snooping and testing an unmanned craft is all a good thing.
Surveillance is best left unmanned and performed remotely. Endurance in a tough and unforgiving environment.
Very cool.
Science allows us to see beyond our 5 senses and limited dimensions.
Religion is for those who cherish delusion and hallucinations.
Just a friendly reminder that china could not get a satellite into to proper orbit and hit the us with an ICBM until LORAL space with support from then president bill clinton and barbra boxer. Gave chine a deal to launch loral satellites. Loral of course would provide proper calibration support that the chines lacked and for security loral would cover the sensitive restricted hardware and software with a black plastic like a trash bag and the chinese promised not to look. Well guess who looked. Look for yourself if you don't believe it.
Thanks Loral and others!
hopefully this isnt a prelude to another dispute between china and the US leading to a war. which in turn would spark WW3, the end of everything. just a heads up. a lot of destruction in the coming year i sense..
"religion is like a prison for the seekers of wisdom"
-Killah Priest
IEEE Spectrum has an article that the spying scenario is quite unlikely:
"But that's ridiculous. The American plane's orbit is at a steep angle with respect to that of the Chinese space station. When the two vehicles pass, they do so at speeds of up to 8000 meters per second"
"Even if the Air Force had known the plans, it would have been to no avail had weather delayed the launch by a day—or even by half an hour. That's preposterous on the face of it."
"Although the article reportedly cites amateur space trackers as the source of the orbital data, the opposite is true. On their discussion board, these trackers are debunking the article's claims."
The author states that Spaceflight is trying to stir up controversy to increase income.
See: spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/aerospace/military/bloopers-in-space
What most people do not realize from the picture in this article, we are actually looking inside the mouth of the tongue of a robotic space whale. AMAZING!
Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.
So were spying on the Chinese. no big surprise there. were spying on them, they're spying on us, everybody is spying on every body these days. Shoot, with how advanced malware and spybots have gotten if you have owned a computer for the last 10 years you have probably been spied on dozens of times.

SuperSolano 3500 Lite Professional Hair Dryer
Ada W.Santa Monica, CAHairBlondeColor Treated HairHighly Recommended!!!I have been using Solano hairdryer for several years at my gym. I was always impressed with the speed it dried my long hair, and how nice it made my hair look even without styling. I was never able to get the same results at home, so I have decided to finally upgrade my own hairdryer. I am so happy! This model is even better than the one I've been using at the gym. It is lighter and has more temperature control. The cord is long and not rigid. And yes, it is a "professional" model, I have just noted that my hairstylist uses the exact same one in her wonderfully equipped salon. Highly recommended!!!posted May 16, 2011Link to this post
StacyMy Favorite Blowdryer!This is my favorite blow dryer! It's lightweight and dries my hair quickly! I have this dryer and the regular SuperSolano, and I love them both. I have been a Solano dryer user for over 5 years, and have never had an issue with my products! There is such a difference in a professional dryer, and this one is worth every penny. My husband even uses them and let me know that he likes them because there is no "high-piched noise" from the motor like I have had with less-quality, less-expensive dryers in the past. You will love this product and love the way your hair looks after you use it everyday!posted Mar 2, 2010Link to this post
AngelaSCExcellent Dryer!The SuperSolano 3500 is great! I have naturally curly medium length hair that I blow dry straight at least once a week. This dryer does not make my hair feel like it is getting fried and it has cut down on my drying time. Even after 20 miutes of drying, the entire dryer is not hot at all...it is actually cool to the touch. The cord is super long and the fact that it is light weight really adds to the appeal. I purchased and returned 4 dryers before I settled on this one and I could not be happier.posted Jul 14, 2009Link to this post

The cleanliness of this hotel exceeded expectations and did the staff. The only real issue that was a minor cause for concern was the heating and air system - finding that setting where comfort was maintained. Over a three-day stay, could never find that temperature that felt just right - even though the thermostat was digitally controlled.
