Kerry Weighs In
Massachusetts Senator John Kerry (you may recall, he served in Vietnam) has an opinion piece in today's Opinion Journal, critiquing the failure of Bush Administration policy in Afghanistan. From Mr. Kerry's vantage point, the recent surge in Taliban attacks, calls for more western troop deployments and the underfunding of reconstruction efforts are evidence of a failed strategy. In his words, we are "losing Afghanistan," and must recommit to victory in that country.
Kerry's approach to military analysis is apparently influenced by The New York Times. Like the Times, Senator Kerry (or, more likely the staffer who ghost-wrote the op-ed) cherry picks his "facts" carefully for maximum effect. Mr. Kerry wants his readers to believe that Afghanistan is going to hell in a handbasket, thanks to the feckless policies of the man who defeated him in the 2004 Presidential election. Admittedly, the situation in Afghanistan has grown more serious over the past year, but contrary to the assertions of Mr. Kerry and Newsweek magazine (which has a cover story on Afghanistan this week), the battle is far from lost, and there is reason for continued optimism.
Consider this grim assessment from Senator Kerry:
"Funded largely by a flourishing opium trade, a resurgent Taliban effectively controls entire swathes of southern Afghanistan. Roadside bomb attacks have more than doubled this year, and suicide attacks have more than tripled. Britain's commander in Afghanistan recently said that "the intensity and ferocity of the fighting is far greater than in Iraq on a daily basis."
Mr. Kerry doesn't define the term "effectively controls," but he insinuates that the Taliban is essentially back in control of much of Afghanistan. That is grossly inaccurate. True, the numbers of Taliban and Al Qaida-sponsored attacks have increased significantly over the past year, but that trend is a bit misleading, since roughly 90% of the attacks occur in southern and eastern Afghanistan--areas that have traditionally been Taliban strongholds. Additionally, even at today's current, "elevated" levels, Afghanistan has never recorded more than 700 insurgent attacks in a month--roughly the equivalent of four days' worth of terrorist activity in Iraq. Moreover, cumulative totals for September are expected to be about 15-20% low the peak level of August, when roughly 700 attacks occurred. In other words, recent NATO operations (like Operation Mountain Lion) are having the desired effect, although more work remains to be done. Clearly, you won't find that type of balanced assessment in Kerry's op-ed.
Nor does the Senator explore other reasons for the upswing in violence--namely, a switch to the type of "international" effort he suggested during his failed presidential bid. You may recall that overall responsibility for the Afghan mission was turned over to NATO last year. In the months that followed, many of NATO contingents were less-than-aggressive in pursuing terrorists, adopting a "garrison" strategy that minimizes casualties. That approach gave the Taliban an added breather, allowing them to re-group and expand their operational base. The good news is that the terrorists still die in large numbers when they elect to stand and fight. A recent increase in suicide bombings is indicative of a shift to tactics that have some measure of success. In small unit operations, Taliban fighters are still hopelessly outled and outclassed by NATO forces, and they can't maintain their territorial gains in the face of superior forces.
Mr. Kerry also dodges the central question of how NATO can be prodded into meeting its obligations in Afghanistan. He quotes General James Jones, the current Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, who recently observed that all 26 members of the alliance have been dragging their feet in supplying more troops and resources for the fight. That reality would seem to undercut Mr. Kerry's 2004 assertion that the U.S. needed to engage the world community in the war on terror, and forge stronger alliances. As we're seeing in Afghanistan, some of our NATO partners are willing to fight to the last American or Afghan in the battle against the Taliban and Al Qaida, but have problems with sending more of their own troops--especially if those forces might have to venture outside a secure garrison. So much for the internationalist approach.
The Senator is on firmer ground in advocating an increase in aid to Afghanistan, but once again, he ignores the issue of how much the U.S. should pay, and how much our NATO allies should pony up. If Afghanistan is truly a coalition effort--and it's supposed to be just that--then we need more Euros along with additional dollars. And how do we make that happen? Once again, Mr. Kerry is short on answers.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B- A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: The program is very expensive, and I can only hope it's worth it.The director of financial aid was incredibly helpful, but I am still worried about paying off the balance after I graduate.
B A+F Academic Experience: My teachers are awesome, the program director is amazing. The Cleanliness is questionable, and the wireless internet is non existant, which is frustrating.
A- A+F Campus Resources: The computer lab is easy to access, but there is no wireless internet available.
A+ A+F Student Body: Students, are split into sections they are in separate class rooms for most of the day. Students meet in the lounge area on brake, but not all students have the same break period. Most students work an go to school other just school,no discrimination take place vatterot has implemented a zero tolerance policy.
B+ A+F Campus Resources: Vatterot is a unique school.Vatterot has a good staff, teachers they really want you to know and understand your studies so they go to great lengths to help. I can remember playing the wi to help with marketing teachers related advertising to the game to give you a better understanding making it a unforgettable experience.
A+ A+F Overall Experience: My College Experience – Currently i attend Vatterott college i spring valley its a wonderful school the staff and teachers are so inviting. Vatterott also makes a effort at try and relate your learning experiences to your life cooking and hands on training for everyone their the greatest!!!
D+ A+F Tuition & Financial Aid: Tuition Is Not a Strong Point This School Holds – I wait too long to get my checks that help cover costs outside of school and well needed bills, so puts me behind in a number of ways!
A+ A+F Overall Experience: Pharmacy Technician Program Is Great! I am very happy with the program and the fellow students within the program as we all get along together very well. I am happy that we have a great teacher that is very knowledgeable and with experiance within the field. The only drawback I have is that she is the only teacher that is in the program along with a number of assistants. She is overworked!
A A+F Career Services: The Last 10 Weeks of the Program – This school gets you working with other people in the field you are in and needed to be at these places like 30 hrs a week in addition to class time. Sometimes the place they have you with will hire you on the spot or wait until you graduate to hire you, so it's a temp position.
C A+F Online Courses: I wouldn't know how to rate this actually, because never took an online course before. If I did though, would really dislike the non contact hours I would have with fellow students in that class, because I would want to interact with them
C A+F Campus Resources: Lots of Things Need Upgraded – The computers are behind in speed and technology, the financial aide system there is off due not receiving checks for living expenses as much as I thought so kind of misleading, and they do not have a book store!
A A+F Campus Resources: Network Has Issues – The computers are pretty slow. They don't have the latest technology.
C+ A+F Academic Flexibility: Transferring Credits – I thought that my transcripts were requested when I initially enrolled, this was NOT the case! So now that I have deceided to up to the AA program from the diploma program, it has been an on-going ordeal to get all my ducks in a row.
B+ A+F Overall Experience: Great Program – So far the program has been everything I expected. There are some questions regarding which of the certification exams I can take are actually included in the tution paid, but overall I would reccommend this program to others with similar interests.

i am wanting to replace a few caps in an older PSU so i can have it for folding. I can only get 2200uf 35v caps when the ones that are in it now are 2200uf 16v can i use the 35v caps in place? or will it not work?
NO!!! The only thing you can really get away with is using a larger cap than normal *2200uf in place of a 600uf*, caps are used to balance voltage, so it would try to balance to 35v instead of 16v, not a good idea. Not hard to find man- http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=020-1716 Although I would look for a better cap personally. *Samxon or Rubycon*
IMO i wouldent use a 2200 inplace of a 600... lol thats to much of a delta again... a 600 up to a 1000 would be ok, but 1000uf would be the upper limit i would swap... assuming there is no other mods.
Yeah, I shouldn't have made that kinda spread... A common rule is within 10% and only if its "higher" than the current cap.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rubycon-ZL-16v-...-Quality!_W0QQitemZ170300825069QQcmdZViewItem That's a good cap! Definitely give you clean power!
Aw, I see.... Hm, call an electronics store, radioshack maybe able to order you some, call a electronics repair shop, they may have some they will sell.
@p o s pc> IMO I would get the same 2200uf with the 16 volt rating in the same package (axial or radial) and same lead spacing as the original, however if you cannot do that, one rated for a higher voltage of the same dimensions(16 to 24 or so) is of no concern. The voltage is what it is rated for not it's output or anything. I have replaced many caps in ham/CB power supplies, radios and amps with what I have recovered from other units and they have different voltage ratings.
i am going to think about ordering some. Radioshack doesn't have any and they won't/can't order them for me... so I MAY just get a cheap PSU and use it.
Call a few tv/radio repair shops and see if they have any. Here is a link to some in your city:http://www.merchantcircle.com/business/Wilson.Richard.M.TV.Repair.740-323-1955
I might have some 16V Rubycons still functional in my old enlight PSU... Where would the caps be on this PSU so I can pull em and check. lol. This is a 400W PSU using Nippon-Chemi Com caps in the picture. Still works flawlessly.. has under 15hrs of use on it tho.
i really have no idea. look in this thread here and if you find them then there good http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=414
how about these... 2200uf 16v XiCon http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=020-1716 4700uf 16v Xicon http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=020-1718&ctab=13#Tabs I need one of each. does anyone think they will be fine?
Those are pretty common caps found in power supplies so yes they will be fine, they are not great caps, but not really bad ones.
so they should be fine for a low(er) end folding rig? btw the ones that are in them are rated for 85c those are 105c(i think)
Ya, considering they are in the power supply you could even put them on your high end gaming rig's psu.. Those are not "cheap" caps by all means, they are a higher standing company, just not absolute top tier.
i understand now. well if my PSU has bad caps in my main rig then i would get a new PSU and replace the caps on it then use it for folding anyways thank for your help i ma y order them soon

The Rowdies began preseason training with 11 new faces that were brought on board for the preseason as trialists. These players received an invitation to train with the club in the preseason, where they will have a chance to demonstrate that they deserve a place in the squad.
One of the highlights is Turkish forward Sercan Guvenisik, joining from the San Jose Earthquakes. His international matches with Turkey's U-17 and U-21 squad earned him a spot in the MLS, making him the first Turkish player to sign in that league. The forward is currently recovering from an injury he sustained prior to preseason, but will be out on the pitch training as soon as he has recovered.
American forward Jemal Johnson previously played in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers, where he started out in their academy at the age of 16. After two years with Blackburn, he went on to suit up for English teams such as Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leeds United and Milton Keynes Dons. Joining him is forward Devin Del Do, who enters preseason training after three successful years with the Minnesota Stars FC. The California native offers speed and skill in attack, while also having knowledge of the North American Soccer League. The fourth forward is Florida Southern College graduate Zak Hofstetter, who in 2011 led the Sunshine State Conference with 44 points. His 17 goals were second in the SSC, and his 10 assists were the best total in the SSC for the second year in a row.
In the midfield, Tampa Bay has brought on JC Mack, who is an attacking midfielder and a recent USL Pro champion with the Charleston Battery. The second midfielder, Frank Tweneboa, has recently played for PDL's Ocean City Nor'easters and Reading United's U20, where he was named to the USL Super 20 All-Tournament Team.
At the right back position, former Arsenal FC youngster Anton Blackwood joined the Gunner's youth system in 2007. He was a member of the youth team, which won the Premier Academy League and the FA Youth Cup. The speedster signed a one-year contract with Tottenham Hotspur in 2009, while recently making his international debut for Antigua and Barbuda in February of 2012 in a friendly match against Trinidad & Tobago. The Rowdies have also brought back defender Thurstan Johnson, who played with the Rowdies during the 2012 season. The right back is a local product from St. Petersburg and played collegiately at Saint Leo University. The third defender on trial is Kyle Clinton from Safety Harbor, Fla. The Francis Marion University standout is a product of Global Premier Soccer's Portland Phoenix of the Premier Development League.
Goalkeeper Sanel Boric is originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina, although he completed his high school at King High School in Tampa. After a year at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Boric moved his career overseas where he played for two clubs in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The other goalkeeper on trial is Tampa native Will Dieterich, who has trained with Global Premier Soccer's Portland Phoenix as well.
Tampa Bay will begin their preseason against DC United on Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 8:00 p.m. The Rowdies will then play their second group match against Montreal Impact on Wednesday, February 13, while playing their last group match against Sporting Kansas City on Saturday, February 16. All games will be played at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. All of the matches in Orlando will be broadcasted live on mlssoccer.com.
The Rowdies will also take part in the I-4 Derby against Orlando City SC. The matches will be held on March 9th at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando and on March 30th at Al Lang Stadium in downtown St. Petersburg. Fans can purchase their tickets for the second leg of the I-4 Derby by clicking here, or by contacting the front office at 813-287-1539 or email@example.com. Tickets for the first match in Orlando can be purchased now by calling (855) ORL-CITY. The 11 trialists will be available for all preseason matches, including the 2013 Disney Pro Soccer Classic & I-4 Derby.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Conference for the National Rifle Association you can see there what's going on which is I seven holding up a banner.
And the full read on ad banners says NRA killing our kids.
This is the first news conference and -- has held since the mass shooting that we first told you about.
Last Friday when Wayne Lapierre he's the CEO of NRA.
He was mid his first statement.
When this disruption took place one of the big questions is.
I'm moving forward into the new year what will the task force created by President Obama come up -- when it comes to the future potentially a gun control in this country.
And how well the NRA -- -- I according to some initial reports it seemed that the NRA said that they were going to come out with that their own proposal and hopefully work in the front.
I let's go ahead and listen to -- -- -- there.
-- an unknown number of genuine monsters.
People that are so deranged.
So evil.
So possessed by voices and driven by demons.
That no sane person can ever possibly comprehend them.
They walk among us.
Every single day.
And does anybody really believe.
The the next Adam -- -- -- planning his attack on a school.
He's already identified.
At this very moment.
How many more copycats.
Are waiting in the wings for their moment of fame.
From a national media machine that rewards them.
With wall to wall attention.
And a sense of identity that they crave.
While provoking others.
To try to make their mark.
Dozen more killers.
A hundred more.
How can we possibly even guess.
How many.
Given our nation's refusal.
To -- -- On active national database.
Of the mentally ill.
The fact -- this.
That would even begin to address.
The much larger more lethal criminal class.
Gang members.
Who have spread like cancer in every community across our nation.
While that happens.
Federal gun prosecutions.
Have deep -- by 40%.
To the lowest levels.
In a decade.
So now.
Due to a decline willingness to prosecute dangerous criminals.
Violent crime is increasing again.
For the first time in nineteen years.
At another hurricane.
Terrorist attack.
Or some other natural or manmade disaster.
And you've got a recipe for a national nightmare.
Of violence and victimization.
And here's another dirty little truth.
That the media try their best to conceal.
There exists in this country.
A callous corrupt.
And corrupting shadow industry.
That cells.
And -- those violence.
Against its own people.
Through vicious.
Violent video games.
With names like bullets storm.
Grand Theft Auto.
Mortal Kombat.
And splatter house.
And here's one.
It's called kindergarten killers.
It's been online for ten years.
How come -- research staff.
Can find it.
And all of -- -- Couldn't.
Or didn't want anyone didn't know -- it found it.
At another hurricane.
And another natural disaster.
I mean you.
We have flood soaked -- out there.
Like American Psycho.
Natural born killers.
That are -- like propaganda loops on -- days and every single day.
A thousand music videos and you all know this.
Portray life is a joke.
And they play murder.
Portray murder as a -- a life.
And then they all have the nerve.
To call it entertainment.
What is that what it really -- -- since fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks.
Really the filthy -- form of pornography.
In a race to the bottom.
Media conglomerates compete with one another -- shocked.
An -- every standard of civilized society.
But Reagan and even more toxic mix.
A reckless behavior.
And criminal cruelty.
Right into our homes.
Every minute every day every power up every single year.
A child growing up in America today.
Witnesses 161000.
And 200000.
Acts of violence by the time he or she reaches the ripe old age of eighteen.
And throughout at all.
Too many in the national media.
-- corporate owners.
And their stockholders.
Act is silent enablers.
If not complicit co conspirators.
Rather than face their own moral failings.
The media.
Demonized gun owners.
President face.
-- -- face her own moral failings.
The media to demonize lawful gun owners.
Amplify their cries for more loss.
And -- the national media with misinformation.
And dis honest thinking.
That only delay.
Meaningful action and all but guaranteed that the next atrocity.
Is only a -- cycle away.
The media.
Call semi automatic firearms machine guns.
They claim these civilians semi automatic firearms are used by the military.
They tell us that the two to three round is one of the most powerful rifle caliber us.
When all of these claims are factually untrue.
They don't know what they're talking about.
Worst -- perch right perpetuate the dangerous notion that one more gun bad.
Or one more in law and -- -- peaceable peaceable lawful people.
Will protect us.
-- won -- thousand other laws if fail.
As brave and heroic.
And -- self sacrificing.
As those teachers work in those classrooms.
And as -- And professional.
And well trained as those police work where they responded.
They were unable.
Through no fault of their own.
To stop it.
As parents.
We do everything we can to keep our children safe.
It's -- time for us to assume responsibility.
For our schools.
The only way the only way.
To stop a monster from killing our kids is to be personally involved and invested in a plan of absolute protection.
The only thing that stops up bad guy with a gun.
Is a good guy with a gun.
Would you rather have.
Your 911.
-- a good guy with a gun from a mile away.
Or from a minute away.
I can imagine the headlines.
The shocking headlines.
You'll print tomorrow.
More -- she'll claim.
Are the NRA's answered -- everything.
Your implication.
Will be big guns are people.
And have no place in society.
Much less.
In our schools.
-- sense pointed the gun.
Become a bad word.
A gun in the hands of a Secret Service agent protecting our president.
Is in a bad word.
A gun in the hands of a soldier protecting the United States of America.
-- -- a bad word.
And when you hear your glass breaking at 3 AM.
Can you call 911.
You won't be able to pray hard enough for eight -- in the hands of a good guy.
To get there fast -- up.
To protect you.
Why is the idea of a gun good when it's used to protect the president.
Of our country.
Or are police.
But bad when it's used to protect our children in our schools.
There are kids.
There are responsibility.
And it's not just our duty to protect them.
It's our right to protect them.
You know.
Five years ago.
After the Virginia Tech tragedy.
When I said.
We should put armed security.
In every school.
The media.
Called me crazy.
But what if what if when Adam -- has started shooting his way into sandy hook elementary school last Friday.
He'd been confronted.
By qualified.
Armed security.
We -- at least admit.
It's possible.
-- -- six little kids.
The 26 innocent lives.
Might have been spared that day.
Is it sell -- part two yet.
They would -- you'd rather continued to risk the alternative.
Is the press.
And the political class.
Here in Washington DC.
So consumed by fear.
And hatred of the NRA.
And American gun owners.
That you're willing to accept a world.
-- -- real resistance to evil monsters.
Is alone.
On arm school principal.
Left to surrender her life.
Her life.
To shield those children in -- care.
No one no one.
Regardless of personal political prejudice.
Has a right.
To impose that sacrifice.
Ladies and gentlemen.
There's no national one side.
Fits all solution.
To protecting our children.
But do note this president zeroed out school emergency planning grants in last year's budget.
And scrap.
Secure our schools policing grants.
In next year's budget.
We've all before -- The United States does.
-- all the money in the federal budget.
Can't we afford to put a police officer in every single school.
Even as they did debt.
Politicians have no business and no authority denying us the right the ability.
And the moral imperative to protect ourselves and our loved ones from harm.
Now the National Rifle Association knows.
There are millions of qualified.
Active and retired police.
Active reserve and retired military.
Security professionals.

The general idea one have about databases is that they only serve the purpose of storing plain values as numbers, dates and text. A database does not do just that but even more allowing you to store a whole file as an Excel spreadsheet or an MP3 file in a column you define in your table.

PRIMA is a virtual female vocalist modelled on the voice of a professional soprano singer. Once PRIMA is installed into your PC she will allow you to create synthesized singing of unprecedented quality and remarkable realism. Prima will hit those high notes every time with perfect accuracy. Whether it's soaring leads, harmonies or backing vocals, Prima can sing any word from the English language (and other languages too with a little work). Prima is also very well suited if you want to be adventurous and experimental, since her voice can be easily modified and shaped in many ways.

In addition to singing any words or combination of syllables or phonemes you can imagine, PRIMA will spread any sustained vowel (or voiced consonant) across as many notes as you like, with perfect legato. You can select from several different natural vibrato types and drag and drop your chosen type to any note or notes, and control the time-position and amount of the vibrato. And that's just the beginning - you have control over all of the following parameters, which you can bring to bear on any part of your creation:
- Changing syllables/phonemes
- Timing of each note (precise position/length).
- Vibrato (you can change its type/position/amount/frequency).
- Volume
- Attack.
- Crescendo or diminuendo
- Pitch bend (amount, and positionable in time).
- Glide (portamento).
- Resonance (Frequency/bandwidth/amplitude)
- Harmonics.
- Noise.
- Brightness
- Clearness.
- Gender factor.

Creating Waves of Awareness
How to select the similimum?
Hahnemann had an answer to, "How to select to the similimum?"
Hahnemann handed over the task to his legal adviser Von Boenninghausen who was helping him and contributing his experiences to the homeopathic literature, especially on the subject of Evaluation of symptoms for the selection of the similimum.
Boenninghausen classified the characteristic symptoms of the drugs on the following basis:
The selection of the drug depended upon the totality of characteristic symptoms of the above variety found in the patient according to Boenninghausen. He prepared his repertory on the basis of characteristic symptoms which was revised and improved by Boger and Roberts and published in the present form. It is universally acknowledged as a master piece of homoeopathy.
Meanwhile a new school was founded by the sponsors of keynote characteristic symptoms, Drs H.C. Allen, E.B. Nash, H.N. Guernsey, Pulford and others. They attached special importance to these peculiar, queer, rare and striking symptoms which Hahnemann recommended in paragraph 153 of his organon. Material medicas prepared by these stalwarts of homeopathy have shown the special value of these symptoms in cases treated on the basis of these keynote characteristic symptoms.
Reference(Systematic Materia Medica of homeopathic remedies.K.N.Mathur)
B.Jain Publishers.(Reprint edition,2003)
Dear Sir
Where did Boenninghausen classify the characteristic symptoms of the drugs on the following basis?
>> 1.characteristic symptoms belonging to the personality of the patient?Sorry Sir ~ I forgot to add this reference. (Systematic Materia Medica of Homoeopathic remedies by K.N.Mathur )
Dear Sir
Being an expert on Boenninghausen and having almost all his publications in original, I can tell you, that Boenninghausen does not use: >> characteristic symptoms belonging to the personality of the patient for the selection of the remedy.
you may want to correct that in your original post.
Boenninghausen followed exactly the guidelines laid down by hahnemann in the organon.
Hans Weitbrecht
There are several methods to make a homoeopathic prescription. Some of them are –
1) Totalistic
All the symptoms of the patient are taken into consideration. But greater stress is given upon the individualistic symptoms. The symptoms are evaluated and arranged to get a portrait simulating Materia Medica. If matching occurs the very medicine is selected as similimum. Sometime, the physician has to take the help of repertory and calculate mathematically the most matching medicines and finally the similimum is confirmed by the study of Materia Medica.
2) Particulars to Generals
This is the innovation of Boenninghausen. Here, all the particular symptoms are considered as general symptoms and they are to be arranged as a 'Complete symptoms' through the doctrine of analogy.
3) Generals to particulars
After proper homoeopathic case taking the characteristic symptoms of the case are to be evaluated in the Kentian way, i.e. – Mentals ;
- Physical generals ;
- Characteristic particulars ;
- Common symptoms.
4) Miasmatic
Some authorities demand that in the background of every case there is some miasm, and so if anti miasmatic medicines are applied, they will be cured.
5) Constitutional
Here, the physician depends mainly upon the general make up of the patient along with his susceptibility, diathesis and temperament. Drs. Grauvegl, Clarke, Burnett used this method often.
6) Keynote
Here, the prescriber picks up one or few more striking, singular, uncommon, peculiar, characteristic symptoms and base their prescriptions upon them only. Drs. Lippe, Guernsey, Allen, Nash used to prescribe in this way.
7) Organopathic
Here, the pathogenesity of the medicine on a particular part or organ of the body are considered to make the basis of prescription. Drs. Burnett, Hughes, O.Lesser, etc. used to prescribe in this way.
8) Etiological
After a thorough case taking, the actual cause is searched for and the prescription is mainly based on those causative factors.
9) Seasonal
Different medicines become well indicated in the diseases appearing in different seasons.
Rainy season…………….Rhus Tox., Dulc., Nat.Sulph.
Winter…………………...Acon., Bryonia, Gels.
Summer………………….Ant.Crud., Glon., Nat.Mur.
These medicines do promptly act but especially if the case be an acute one.
10) Chronological-Sequential
During drug proving the serial appearance of the symptoms in the provers are judged and in any case if such sequence be observed, the prescriptions by its similarity produce marvelous results.
11) Tautopathic
A process of treatment with nosodes, not depending upon the symptoms but depending upon the material cause of the disease.
12) Various other non-conventional methods
a. Poly prescriptions
b. Mixtures
c. Group medicines
d. Specifics, Tonics, Injections, etc.
Dear Dr. Dutta
your chapters concerning Boenninghausen's work don't do the master justice. Boenninghausen did not classify symptoms as particular or general at all -- this is a classification introduced by kent. This classification reflects kents swedenborgian thinking.
Depending which repertory of Boenninghausen you refer to, the plan of each of them is somewhat different, depending on its intended use and also reflecting on his experience at the time.
Unfortunately, nowadays homoeopaths often relay on third or fourth hand information, partially because it is freely available, or their own teachers did not review their lectures critically. At least in the case of Boenninghausen we are in the fortunate position to have his Lesser Writings available from B. Jain. Articles included in this book give a well rounded picture of Boenninghausens approach and case work.
I can recommend this book to every serious student. (and to administrators and advisers too)

I imagine (and hope) that this is a Cold War era game, though that is chiefly because of the "Reagan" part of the current name. The AoD team's involvement certainly makes me think this will be based in the 20th century. I look forward to Monday.

Oh, I guess BL Logic has impressed more then UV. I was almost under the impression that paradox would never green light a third party spin off like this again. But AoD was pretty good and I guess released on time proving that they can deliver. Hearts of Iron games and it derivatives always sells it looks like. And they have worked on it for quite a while it seems. Is this the last of this kind of games that is being made I wonder, or was it just the part timers that PDS will never touch again?
If it is to be a cold war game, I wonder how much they would have to tweak the HOI 3 engine to make it fun. I kind of smell enormous potential for amazing feature creep in trying to get the engine to do things it has never been intended to do.

Natural History Museum Ice Rink 2012
Various venues
Until Sun Jan 6
Reviews & ratings
We went on Sunday afternoon - and while it is one of the loveliest settings and the staff on the ice were friendly, there were far too many people on the ice. I think the company running it are being too greedy selling that many tickets per session - there should have been half the number or at most two-thirds. At other rinks I've been to good skaters (of which I am not one) can whizz round everyone else, but I didn't see anyone going very fast, there just isn't room. Another gripe is that they charge £5 to hire the penguin stablisers for small kids (unlike Somerset House and other places - last year anyway). When I complained that this was not advertised I was told it was on their website, but have just looked on both Nat History Museum website and Ticketmaster one and can't see any obvious mention of a charge - only that you have to book them. Other than that it is very atmospheric, nice having the cafe balcony overlooking the rink too. Last thing - they gave me the wrong shoes back at the end, need to be a bit more on the ball about that. Overall Somerset House was better.

19 July 2012 Access to Elected Office Fund launched
A £2.6 million fund designed to help disabled people overcome barriers to becoming elected officials has been launched by the government .
The new fund will help meet the additional costs a disabled candidate may face in standing for election as police and crime commissioners, councilors or MPs, such as extra transport or sign-language interpreters.
The fund will offer individual grants of between £250 and £20,000 to disabled people who want to be selected as candidates for an election, or who are standing for election.
In addition to the fund, a new online introductory training package recently went live, tailored to disabled people who are interested in a political career.
The fund and online training are part of the government's access to elected office strategy which also includes paid internships for disabled candidates on the speaker's parliamentary placement scheme.
Disabled people are currently under-represented in public office and there are currently only a handful of disabled MPs, and only 3.5% of appointees to public bodies are disabled.
The success of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Young Disabled People demonstrates that many disabled people are keen to get involved in the parliamentary processes. However, disabled people are sometimes less likely to realise their potential in public office due to a number of factors which include perceptions of disability, financial barriers and inaccessibible environments.
Trailblazers want to develop the relationship with MPs and Peers and ensure that disabled people recognise that they have a major stake in and can play a leading role in public office.
Trailblazers Project manager, Bobby Ancil said:
The combination of the new Access to Elected Office fund, the Speaker's parliamentary placements and the online training package are all good news for young disabled people interested in politics and representing people in their area. I hope that people involved in the APPG for Young Disabled People will take on these new opportunities.

Vaccine Preventable Diseases
Immunization, together with improvements in hygiene and sanitation, has revolutionized child health worldwide.
Since the launch of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in 1974, millions of deaths have been prevented every year by delivery of infant immunization through national immunization programmes.
This section describes the vaccines commonly used in national immunization programmes, as well as some that are used in special risk groups or populations.
As a general rule, vaccines for large-scale public health use should:
- Meet the quality requirements as defined in the current WHO policy statement on vaccine quality.
- Be safe and have a significant impact on the actual disease in all target populations.

The man who killed and tried to behead Fusilier Lee Rigby told the Old Bailey today that he loved al-Qaeda and would never regret his actions. Michael Adebolajo, 28, said he denied the charge of murdering Fusilier Rigby, 25, on the street in Woolwich, south London, earlier this year, because he was a soldier involved in a war between Islam and the British military. Giving evidence on the first day of the defence case, Mr Adebolajo said he had no regrets over killing Fusilier Rigby - who was run down by a car then hacked to death by the defendant and his accomplice Michael Adebowale, 22 - because he believed he was "obeying the command of Allah". Special security arrangements were in place in the courtroom as Adebolajo went into the witness box. Three prison officers sat alongside and behind him with two more seated below him in the well of the court. Members of Fusilier Rigby's family sat a few feet away. His widow, Rebecca, hurried from the court in tears as Mr Adebolajo told how he attacked the soldier after running him down in his car. David Gottlieb, defending, took Mr Adebolajo through his upbringing in a devout Christian household in east London, his schooldays when his favourite teacher was Jewish and his conversion to Islam while studying at Greenwich University. Mr Adebolajo, who wore a long black robe and whose speech was indistinct after he lost two teeth in prison, disclosed that he was marrie
Each day Um Ahmad listens to the news for word of hangings. Thursday is Baghdad's usual hanging day. Sunday is the next favourite. On occasion, such as in October when 42 prisoners were executed in a 48-hour period, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are used to clear the backlog on Iraq's death row. So she is never quite sure, and stays at home, listening for word of the latest batch of executions, wondering if her only son, Ahmad, is among them. "I've been terrified since the last executions," the 59-year-old widow told me, referring to the latest group of hangings which took this year's toll of judicial killings in Iraq to 170. "I know my son is already wearing the red uniform in Kadhimiya prison, death row, ready for execution. I don't know how much time is left." Execution days begin before dawn. Groups of Iraqi prisoners dressed in red overalls are led in shackles from their cells to the sha
A controversial review of European migration is set to be delayed until the new year due to a row over the scale of benefits tourism. The government study examining the impact on Britain of freedom of movement had been due to be released yesterday as part of a group of documents assessing the UK's relationship with the EU. However, the entire batch has missed its deadline because Theresa May, the Home Secretary, is unhappy with its appraisal of the impact of European migration on Britain. The Balance of Competences review is being compiled by civil servants in departments across Whitehall. It was commissioned to provide supporting evidence for David Cameron's plan to negotiate a new settlement with Brussels before holding an in/out referendum if re-elected in 2015. The reports are being published in four tranches. The first group, released in July, which covered subjects including the si

The Hunger Games is a book trilogy that has gained substantial popularity since the first book's release in 2008. The first book's film adaptation will be released this year, and people can hardly contain themselves. If one had to describe the Hunger Games to someone unfamiliar with the series, the best way would be: George Orwell's 1984's totalitarian world meets the Gladiator fighting arena meets the reality show Survivor.
Without giving too much away, the following is the general plot of the first book and film. The Hunger Games series follows a 16 year-old-girl, Katniss Everdeen, in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic world ruled by a totalitarian governmental power. Said government is located in one of thirteen existing districts, i.e. the central district deemed "Capitol," that arose from North America; this new country is known as Panem. Due to a rebellion against the Capitol, the government now holds what is known as the "Hunger Games" tournament every year. Said games are a fight to the death by one boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from all districts except the Capitol. The games are televised and highly watched by all districts. When Katniss' younger sister is chosen to participate in the games, Katniss volunteers herself as a replacement. From here, the movie truly begins.
To be released on March 23rd, the Hunger Games is sure to be an action packed film that many in the sci-fi community will enjoy. Check out the trailer:
Allison Dean is a writer bringing to us information on the upcoming "The Hunger Games" book-to-film adaptation.
Allison also writes about medical malpractice lawyers.

Back in 2009, Senator Patrick Leahy introduced legislation to create a "commission of inquiry" to look into the treatment of suspected terrorists by the Bush Administration.
Vice President Dick Cheney and others from the Bush administration continue to assert that their tactics, including torture, were appropriate and effective. I don't think we should let only one side define history on such important questions. It's important for an independent body to hear these assertions, but also for others, if we're going to make an objective and independent judgment about what happened and whether it did make our nation safe or less safe.
It never happened.
And President Obama declined as well, that it was "unproductive". The official 'blue-ribbon panel' never happened.
So The Constitution Project took up the slack and conducted a two year study without subpoena powers or access to classified information. They relied on public record, interviews and fact finding in six countries.
The scope of the investigation was not limited to the actions of the Bush Administration. It included treatment of terrorist suspects in the Clinton and Obama administrations as well.
The three findings were disturbing. In the end damning.
1. U.S Forces, in many instances used interrogation techniques that constitute torture. American personnel conducted an even larger number of interrogations that involved "cruel, inhuman, or degrading" treatment. Both categories of actions violate U.S. laws and treaties. Such conduct was directly counter to values of the U.S. Constitution and our nation.
2. The nation's most senior officials, through some of their actions and failures to act in the months and years immediately following the September 11 attacks, bear ultimate responsibility for allowing and contributing to the spread of illegal and improper interrogation techniques used by some U.S. personnel on detainees in several theaters. Responsibility also falls on other government officials and certain military leaders.
3. There is no firm or persuasive evidence that the widespread use of harsh interrogation techniques by U.S. forces produced significant information of value. There is substantial evidence that much of the information adduced from the use of such techniques was not useful or reliable.
There were others.
That U.S. officials committed torture in the black sites.
That doctors and psychologists illegally participated in the interrogations and did not report the abuse.
That the Justice Department's Office of Legal Council gave "erroneous legal sanction" to torture in violation of U.S. and international law, they failed their clients: the president and the American people.
Do we care?

Britain's phone-hacking scandal has come knocking on the door of Downing Street, as Prime Minister David Cameron's former communications chief faced a grilling by a media ethics inquiry about his time as editor of a tabloid newspaper that practised large-scale illegal eavesdropping.
Andy Coulson has always insisted he did not know that News of the World employees were hacking the voicemail messages of celebrities, politicians and even crime victims in its quest for scoops and circulation.
He left the paper in 2007 after a reporter and a private investigator were jailed for hacking, and became Cameron's powerful media chief later the same year. He quit that job in January 2011 as the hacking scandal intensified.
Coulson was due to appear at the inquiry after Jonathan Harmsworth, also known as Viscount Rothermere, the aristocratic owner of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Those papers and their hugely popular website have flourished on celebrity exposes, but no evidence has emerged of phone hacking, and Harmsworth said his conscience is clear.
"I feel pretty confident that our newspaper has acted ethically and I am willing to stand up for us," he said.
Coulson's appearance at the inquiry - which is examining the often too-cozy relationship between British politicians and the country's press - will be uncomfortable for the Conservative prime minister, whose relationships with senior executives of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp has embroiled him in the hacking furore.
Cameron has close ties to Coulson and to Rebekah Brooks, another ex-news of the World editor, who is due to give evidence to the inquiry on Friday.
Both Coulson and Brooks have been arrested and questioned by police about tabloid wrongdoing, though neither has been charged.
Speculation is rife about what the pair will reveal about their relations with Cameron and his Conservative Party, whose popularity is already at a low amid economic uncertainty and unrest from grassroots activists.
The Murdoch-owned Times of London newspaper reported on Wednesday that Brooks has retained supportive text messages from the prime minister, a personal friend, neighbour and occasional riding companion in the upmarket rural enclave of Chipping Norton.
Brooks and Coulson will be testifying before Lord Justice Brian Leveson, who is leading the inquiry to sift through the fallout of the hacking scandal that has rocked Britain's establishment and rattled Murdoch's News Corp with revelations of widespread journalistic malpractice.

There is only one version of this story. The other person involved is dead.
Dead men don't talk. This one was a teenager.
He was troubled. Suspended from school. Again. The second time had been for writing "WTF" on a door at school.
His latest came after drug paraphernalia and the residue of marijuana were found in his backpack. It wasn't even a crime.
It led to the Retreat at Twin Lakes where he was staying with his father's fiancée. And his fatal encounter with George Zimmerman who was a resident and neighborhood watch captain.
He had just turned seventeen. The pattern of his life was not set. Trayvon Martin could have turned around.
If he had lived. If he had not been shot at point-blank range in his heart.
Trayvon Martin was killed by a coward. A man eleven years older.
The police report said he packed 200 pounds on a 5'7″ frame. A big guy.
It is George Zimmerman's narrative. He admitted he was getting beat in a fair fight.
He picked a fight he couldn't win. Against a kid. A tall skinny kid.
He ended up down on the ground screaming hysterically for help. No one came. It served him right.
He said that Trayvon Martin grabbed his head and was beating it into the concrete sidewalk.
Called a "life and death struggle" by George Zimmerman, the man who tried to "stand his ground" was losing.
He ended up with a broken nose, two black eyes and a couple of lacerations to the back of his head.
But George Zimmerman had a concealed weapon. An equalizer in a fight he instigated but could not win or apparently end.
And he did equalize it and finally end it with a bullet to the heart of his unarmed opponent.
It was the only way a coward like George Zimmerman could win.

Legendary Quilters Interview!
Hi Y'all!
I'm back from Denver as of midnight....and guess what? One of my bags of quilts got left behind in Detroit! :c( But according to the Northwest Airlines agent, it should be here today.
I had a great time in Denver, and want to write more about it. I've got pictures to upload, even some little videos to upload...but it's going to take some time.
So to keep you entertained for a bit, here is an interview I did with Cinea Dallinger of Legendary Quilters. She called from Australia, and recorded our conversation. I had a great time sitting on the front porch swing with a glass of lemonade and talking about quilting, from one side of the world to the other.
I have uploaded it HERE. It's in WMA format and it should open up in your windows media program.
Thanks Cinea! It was great meeting you via the phone line!

Hi Bonnie,
I enjoyed listening to the interview very much. It was interesting to hear you talk about giving a quilt to others- and how when you quilt it that you give yourself to them. I have always felt that way and found the giving of a quilt a very emotional experience. I will be looking forward to seeing your book in print. Will you sell it through Amazon?
The web pictures are fun to look at too.
Regards from A Western Canadian Quilter,
I just sat listening to your whole interview while hand quilting on the borders of my present quilt. I can not tell you how much I enjoyed this evening. I even turned the tv off. (grin) You are such a caring and loving lady. I feel like I know you even though we have never met. Good luck with your book. WinonaBonnie, I've been enjoying your videos so much! Today I listening to your phone interview with Cinea. It was so great to hear about your quilting roots, and about your family. It has been extra special you put a voice with a face after reading your blog and website. I've always admired your generosity and thank you for inspiring us your ideas and your beautiful quilts! I'm looking forward to ordering your book when it's available. Of course I will want and autographed copy! ((Hugs))
I know it's a hassle, but I've had to enable the word verification thing so that EVERYONE is eligible for blog giveaways. It's the only way to keep the spammers, scammers and other baddies at bay!
