Thanks Rocky and Dan, I'll go check out their site. I only joined yesterday as well.
That's weird, Bill--I just joined yesterday and was thinking the same thing. I live in Albuquerque. I'd be interested in meeting. -Dan
Hi Bill,
Welcome. I'm not aware of anything regular. New Mexicans for Science and Reason has monthly meetings. They're like-minded. That might be the closest thing. nmsr.org
Hello. I'm new here. Are there any meetings or live discussions in the abq or east mountains? I would love to meet up with like minded folks !!Hit me up thanks-Bill
Judging by the frequency of the posts here--not a lot is up in NM. :o)
So.. What's up NM?
Try going to Meetup.com to find abq groups. we've got a new one up here in los alamos and you're welcome to join!
So is there ever any meet ups in Abq?
major cities? -didn't know NM had any! HA- just kidding, been here since '83, by choice, from DC area--
Born and raised here all my life. :D I've even been to most major city in NM hundreds of times! But new to AtheistNexus, I think I signed up as a member a long time ago, but I couldn't remember my old account info, was probably deleted from inactivity anyways.

A graduate of Lesley's Threshold Program, Brian Gomes works at famed Fenway Park.
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
Brian Gomes, a graduate of Lesley University's Threshold Program, has won a 2013 "Employee of the Season" award from the Red Sox.
Brian has worked for three seasons as a Yawkey Way Host, greeting fans, bringing people to their tickets at will-call, and directing people at the famed ballpark. Jae Holland, the Coordinator of Fan Services, says Brian is a model employee for newer Yawkey Way hosts.
"Day in and day out, Brian reports to his shift with a smile on his face ready to embrace the legions of fans who enter into our ballpark ready to embrace the Fenway experience," said Holland. "Brian always reports to his shifts early and is willing to assist in any way possible. His consistency in being reliable is a great trait that has our newer Yawkey Way Hosts following in his footsteps. He is a model employee and more importantly a great person."
Brian, 23, said he is honored by the recognition and loves his job working for the Red Sox, although he was a little nervous to accept the award, which was given during a ceremony on the field at the packed ballpark at a recent game.
"I was a little nervous but really excited," he recalled.
His aunt and uncle, Sharon and Bob Kiss, went to the game to see Brian accept his award.
Even though he is from New Jersey and grew up a Mets fan, he now follows the Red Sox loyally and is excited they're in the playoffs.
"It's a really fun and exciting job," said Brian. "I get to be outside, and I like that."
Brian graduated in 2011 from the Threshold Program, which is a campus-based, two-year program at Lesley for highly motivated young adults with learning challenges and other special needs.
"Brian was a very motivated student with a strong work ethic," said Threshold Director Jim Wilbur. "We are so proud of him and happy he has made Somerville his home. He continues to be an important part of the Lesley community."
"I really liked Threshold a lot," said Brian. "It really helped me with the college experience. I met new friends and it's in a great area."
He lives in Somerville now, and in addition to his job for the Red Sox, he also works at Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Porter Square, Cambridge.

You got one (or more) email notifications saying that attackers have captured your email addresses.
Lots of noise and chatter floating around about this one, but this certainly isn't anything new. A few measures of caution and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Everyone is expecting a fairly huge phishing/malware campaign though, so be at the ready for a ton of spam, clickjacking and other "click my link" type of attacks.
- Places who you've asked for newsletters, or signed up for mail will name you directly, not say "Dear User" or "Dear Customer", or even "Dear <your email>"
- These places will never obfuscate their links with tinyurl or t.co or any other url shortener
- If you're unsure about the URL they want you to click (be it twitter, or gmail or your bank) manually enter the root domain and navigate yourself – i.e: if you get a phish for gmail.com?owned=yes&gimme=yourmoney and it looks suspect, go to 'gmail.com' by hand and see if what happens.
- If you do see messages like that, be sure to report them to the institutions that are being spoofed, send them a copy, and then mark it as spam.
- Places dont ever 'lose' your information and ask you for it again. No place ever asks you to 'update' your account info.
- For facebook clickjacking attacks – hover your cursor over the video/link/whatever. If the url ISNT facebook, %100 chance its bogus. If it *IS* facebook, copy the url and paste it into google – see if you get any results like "this has been reported for malware".
- Be smart – with as much spam and malware links as we're expecting – dont share really stupid crap on facebook and twitter – you're gonna get marked as spam
Thats it! Just a bit of common sense and caution.
Now move along smartly!

I spent three months studying Fine Art and South American Literature at the University of Seville. The opportunity to enrol in life drawing classes was invaluable in helping me to meet native speakers, and as such I found flatmates with whom I'm still in touch. It also allowed me to explore an area not offered at my UK University, but which has always been an interest of mine. My three months in Seville were perhaps the happiest of my life, and developed my self-confidence as well as my language skills.
During my six months in Havana I was able to experience life in a city incomparable to any other in the world, and to use this experience as a stimulus for two dissertations on Cuban art. I volunteered to teach my fellow university students English, and this first taste of teaching influenced my career choice.
After graduation, I enrolled onto the Teach First scheme to join a group of Language graduates teaching in Primary schools across London. It was a real pleasure to be able to ignite sparks of interest in languages in the students, and in my third year of teaching, I became Modern Languages Coordinator at my school. My interest in languages and education have lead me to complete a Masters on Leadership and Education, and write a dissertation focussing on children's perceptions of bilingualism.
The year abroad was crucial for me in terms of my personal development and in exposing me to experiences, people and situations which shaped my choices for the future."

Room to Read | World Change Starts with Educated Children
By KEVIN VOIGT Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL January 7, 2005
Stephen Huang's job is both grim and gratifying.
On Dec. 30, the 57-year-old charity worker surveyed the scene in the seaport town of Hambantota in southeast Sri Lanka, where the stench of the dead filled the air, arms and legs stuck through the rubble and blackbirds descended to feed on carrion. Five days later he flew to the devastated Aceh province of Indonesia, the hardest-hit area after the Dec. 26 earthquake, to complete his fact-finding mission for the Tzu Chi Foundation, a Taipei-based Buddhist organization that provides disaster relief.
It's the kind of work that the Taipei native has done since 1994, when he gave up his lucrative textiles and property development businesses to dedicate his life to volunteer work. Mr. Huang has walked across the war-torn steppes of Afghanistan, spent millennium New Year in a Venezuelan town decimated by mudslides and hopped the first available flight to New York after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"When I was in real estate, I would do a US$1 million deal, and I would be happy," he says. "Then the next day, you're worrying about taxes, you're worrying about reinvestment. But doing this...you see the results of providing tents, blankets and clothes...(victims) hug you, they cry, they kiss you."
In the days since the earthquake shook the lives of millions around the Indian Ocean, an unprecedented wave of charity has rippled across communities around the globe as governments, businesses and individuals pitch in to help tsunami victims. Aid organizations report that donations have been coming in at a record pace (though they are still less than what is needed). So, too, are individual offers to contribute not only money, but time -- a noble if often unrealistic sentiment. The regional headquarters of Unicef has received many such offers, but the time needed to manage untrained volunteers usually negates whatever benefits they bring, says spokesperson Madeline Eisner. Volunteers with a useful expertise, she adds, are another story.
People like Mr. Huang, on the other hand, made charity a passion long ago. Below, Personal Journal examines the lives of six individuals who have dedicated their lives toward a greater good, often forgoing high-flying careers and top salaries for work that feeds the soul. All were dedicated to helping those in need before the waves struck, and all plan to continue their work long after tales of the tsunami drop off the front pages and television screens.
For most, altruistic pursuits came after a spiritual crisis, but all are driven by a belief that cynics might say is naive, and others will find inspirational: That one person can make a difference.
Says Mr. Huang: "The most important thing in the world is to help people, to enlighten their life, to (help them) find a good way out of a terrible situation."
Like millions of tsunami victims, Dr. Siven Seevanayagam knows what it is like to have a home suddenly taken from him. The ethnic Tamil native of Sri Lanka was a 21-year-old medical student in his hometown of Colombo when, in July 1983, race riots broke out across the city, destroying his family's home and forcing them to flee the country. "I was frustrated with my family, I was hot under the collar about what happened -- I felt someone should pay," the 42-year-old physician recalls.
After his family immigrated to Australia, Dr. Seevanayagam continued his medical studies at Monash University. Today he is a cardiothoracic surgeon at Austin Health at the University of Melbourne, where he also teaches.
After the Sinhalese and minority Tamils in Sri Lanka called a cease-fire in 2002, Dr. Seevanayagam and a group of doctors raised cash for medical facilities in the Tamil-controlled areas of northern Sri Lanka; today the group regularly sends doctors to help train staff and consult with patients. In the past two years, Dr. Seevanayagam has made five trips to volunteer his expertise to help Sri Lankan patients and lecture medical students. "I consider Australia my home, but at the same time we have an absolute moral responsibility not to forget where we came from," he says.
On Dec. 26, reports of the tsunami disaster started coming in from his native Sri Lanka and around the region. Seven days later, Dr. Seevanayagam led a group of eight doctors to Colombo with plans to establish a field hospital along the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka. It was the culmination of a harried week trying to assess needs from afar and tearing up schedules and holiday plans to raise cash and gather a medical team. Some of the doctors spent the week busily translating guides on water purification, hydration, antibiotics and disease prevention into local languages. "Disease is our most significant concern right now," notes Dr. Seevanayagam. "But there's a paucity of information."
Though he has overcome the anger of his youth, the nation's violent past weighs heavily on Dr. Seevanayagam, who asked that his photo not be used for this story for fear it may draw unwanted attention to the mission. "We would like to think people have risen above racial politics, but these kinds of things are unpredictable, and that's a significant concern for our families," says the father of two daughters. "If humanity can't prevail (now) in this situation, it never will."
Dr. Seevanayagam plans to maintain medical aid to the area by rotating teams of doctors into Sri Lanka throughout the crisis, but that won't end his commitment to his homeland. Although he could make more money in private practice, he plans to finish his career in the public sector in Australia. "I feel an enormous debt to Australia -- it's where my family got our life back," he says. "But after I retire here, I would like to finish by going to Sri Lanka and working there for four or five years. It's the least I could do."
Nelson Yau used to teach multinational companies how to sell their products in China. Now the 49-year-old Hong Kong native spends his days studying the Bible with prisoners in Thailand, where he and his wife have been based since he retired last year. During the tsunami crisis he has been helping the Hong Kong Evangelical Community Church connect with churches in Phuket so that food, shelter and work can be made available to those left homeless or jobless by the disaster. "Someone said there are two disappointments in the world -- not getting the things you want in the world, and getting what you want," Mr. Yau says. "I enjoyed the material side (of wealth) -- getting the latest computer, the latest phone. But I felt all alone."
The evolution from business consultant to philanthropist began in 1997, when Mr. Yau hit bottom. He entered his business career "with one purpose in mind -- to make a lot of money," he says. And he succeeded, serving as general director in Shanghai for Swedish management consulting firm Mercuri Urval. "I was very lucky, very successful, and I reached a point where I reached my (financial) goals," he says. "I had a nice home, a chauffeured car...but I got lost in the system." He was spending evenings out drinking, often not coming home, until his wife left him to go live in Canada (she has since returned to his side). "I was not happy, and I started to look for the reason why."
His first stop was traveling to Tibet for 10 days of contemplation, "but the only thing I learned there was that Tibetan monks want to immigrate to the U.S.," he says. "I left empty-handed and empty-minded." His search continued until a friend invited him to a gathering of 500 Christian businesspeople in Hong Kong in 1999. "Here was businessman after businessman, going to the microphone and talking about their lives, and I found out they were going through the same thing as me," he recalls. "I found the answer, and it's in the Bible."
His spiritual journey culminated in quitting his job last year to move with his wife, Jo Ann, to Bangkok to start Christian ministry work, using their personal savings. The couple, who had fallen in love with Thailand years ago on vacation, also are taking time to learn the language. Besides their prison visits, they regularly provide assistance at Karen refugee camps in Mae Sot near the Burmese border. They also helped build the Cherngtalay Christian Church in Phuket, which the tsunami spared.
With Mr. Yau's assistance, the Hong Kong church has rented two houses to host displaced families, and so far has provided salaries to eight jobless residents who used to work at local hotels (they are now serving as temporary translators in Phuket hospitals and at city hall during the rebuilding effort).
Mr. Yau plans to focus on tsunami relief aid for the next year, but in the long term he plans to expand his work with prison ministries to southern Thailand and open half-way homes for former convicts.
"There are so many things down the road for me to do," he says.
You don't have to step off the career path to devote yourself to a good cause. Just ask David Sutherland, who as a managing director at Morgan Stanley, runs tax practices across Asia. Despite a job that keeps him on the road a third of the time, flying everywhere from Japan to India, the 44-year-old American is chairman of International Care Ministries, a Christian aid group that provides schools, medicine and food to slums on Negros Island in the Philippines.
He also is on the supervisory board of International China Concern, a philanthropy that provides residential care for disabled orphans in rural China, and he financially sponsors a shelter in Bali that houses 35 street children -- all while raising three teenagers of his own.
"By far the biggest question for professionals is, how do you do charity in bite-size pieces?" he says. "If you say yes to every opportunity, you will be very quickly swallowed up. You have to view your time as a scarce resource."
Mr. Sutherland and his wife, Deanna, have a long history of focusing on Asian charities. In 1987 they spent five months volunteering at Vietnamese refugee camps in Hong Kong and teaching English to Beijing law students. His career in tax law took him to Wall Street law firms and a stint in the U.S. Treasury Department under President Bill Clinton negotiating tax treaties with Asian nations.
When he joined Morgan Stanley in Hong Kong, he began looking for charities to help. "We were looking for organizations to work for that are indigenous, not part of big international agencies," he says. "Somewhere we can provide leadership and donate our skills -- the big (charities) already have that."
They also sought charities that their three teens -- Kent, Corrie and Dillon -- could be involved in. "We wanted to integrate family time with charitable work," he says. "That sort of serves a dual purpose (for time management)...now our kids have friends in the Philippines, China and Bali."
Working with International China Concern has a special resonance for the family -- the group is housed in the same Hunnan Province orphanage where they adopted their daughter, Corrie, at the age of four. "That was too much of a coincidence for us not to get involved," he says.
Mr. Sutherland spends 10 to 15 hours a week working on his various charities. Six times a year he travels to the Philippines, often with his family in tow, to monitor the progress of International Care Ministries. The charity, which works in cooperation with 600 local churches, provides regular medical care for 37,000 people. It also provides medical aid and helps prostitutes find alternative work.
"In Hong Kong, we live in such a comprehensive community -- you think everyone lives like this," he says. Visiting the Philippines, he adds, "you realize that (many) more people live in abject poverty."
"For me, I think God has given us a responsibility to be good stewards to those in need," he says.
Erin Keown Ganju has worked in Hong Kong and Singapore as a financial analyst for investment bank Goldman Sachs Group Inc., headed up business development for nearly three years in Vietnam for consumer-goods maker Unilever NV, and been on the ground for two high-technology start-up companies in Silicon Valley. But while the 35 year old traveled the world in business-class seats, she wasn't getting to know much of the globe. "A Grand Hyatt is a Grand Hyatt is a Grand Hyatt," she says.
That changed in the spring of 2001 when a friend took her to a San Francisco fundraiser for a charity that built libraries and schools in Nepal. After hearing the speaker (John Wood, a former Microsoft executive who quit to focus on charity work), she arranged to have coffee with him a few days later and made this proposal: "Why don't I help expand your charity into Vietnam?"
From there, Ms. Ganju talked her way into becoming the first employee of Room to Read, a charity that in four years has built 1,600 schools and libraries in Nepal, India, Cambodia and Vietnam. Ms. Ganju, as chief operating officer, coordinates the building of new libraries with partner agencies in local countries, spending about a third of her time traveling through Asia.
"In terms of my bank account, I make 50% less than I used to make, but I feel I'm much richer," says Ms. Ganju. "The fun I have at my job is worth more than any paycheck."
As an executive for a charity, part of the enjoyment comes from breaking free of the often mundane interaction of the business world. "When you get a career, you often get pigeon-holed into doing the same work, and working with the same people over and over again," she says. "Now I work with people from so many different backgrounds. Every person we interact with is so positive and excited."
"I think the most amazing growth for me has been understanding how to work in the different cultures," she says. "There are very big differences in customs, habits and work styles. America is more task-oriented, versus a culture that's more relationship oriented. You listen, learn to trust other people's judgment, and develop the understanding of what it takes to get work done."
And the work can often be daunting. "The challenges are unbelievable," she says. "Nepal is under civil war; (areas of India) face massive droughts and incredible poverty. In Cambodia, almost every teacher was killed by the Khmer Rouge and they are literally rebuilding from the ground up."
Downshifting from a corporate life has meant downshifting in other ways. The chauffeured company car has been replaced by a Volkswagen Beetle. The business- class seat has been replaced by a hard seat in the back of a truck. "I calculated my last trip to Asia I spent five hours a day on bumpy roads," she says.
But going back to see what has been accomplished by Room to Read affirms her choice to step off the corporate path. "When you put a library in a community, amazing things happen," she says. "Suddenly kids in landlocked Nepal start asking you questions like, 'What does the ocean look like? What does it smell like?' "
Next time you get into a luxury car, ponder how many homes could be built from the price of the ride. In Dylan Wilk's case, he built 63 homes in the Philippines from the proceeds of selling his BMW M3.
The sale of his car in 2003 was Mr. Wilk's first step toward trading his life as one of the richest young entrepreneurs in the U.K. to pledging to spend the next seven years in the Philippines building homes. "When I sold the car, it was not so much for the money, which I could have paid anyway, but to show a tangible sacrifice," says the 29-year-old Briton.
Mr. Wilk's journey to the Philippines started when he was a 16-year-old school dropout in his native Leeds, going to work at a mail-order aquarium business. After three years he decided "the only way to get rich is to start your own business," and at age 20 he launched Gameplay.com, an online and mail-order video game reseller. By 2001, when his company was purchased, he had 700 employees in eight European countries and his rags to riches story was being celebrated in the British press.
"I had everything I could possibly want, but I realized there was a big difference between pleasure and happiness," he says. "Pleasure is like a fire that constantly needs to be fueled with new cars, new clothes, new things. Happiness can only come by relating to people."
"Over my time in business I found people in their 40s and 50s who were alcoholics, had failed marriages but on the surface seemed to have amazing lives," he recalls. "I didn't want to end up like them."
Then a friend from the Philippines visited Mr. Wilk at the end of 2002, saying she felt regret for coming because the US$1,500 ticket price could have built two houses back home. Through his friend, he learned about Gawad Kalinga, a Christian group with the goal of building 700,000 homes in 7,000 communities in seven years. Intrigued, Mr. Wilk called charity director Tony Meloto and pledged US$100,000 -- and was refused.
"He gave me the shock of my life -- I felt so insulted," he recalls. Then Mr. Meloto explained that the charity prefers donors to not only give their money, but their time. So Mr. Wilk got on a plane to Manila. "What I saw really opened my eyes and changed my outlook," he says. "I went to two (Gawad Kalinga) sites that were completely changed...no more drinking on the streets, no more drugs, very tangible results."
He also was impressed by the community that formed around the homebuilding -- residents take part in the construction, and form associations that maintain the neighborhoods. Says Mr. Wilk: "How can you fight with your neighbor when he helped build your house?"
On the basis of that trip, he returned to the U.K. and told his family he was moving to the Philippines to volunteer full time. "My mother thought I was joining a cult," says Mr. Wilk, adding that she has since visited the Philippines to help build homes as well.
Now, Mr. Wilk devotes time in the field and travels the world raising funds for Gawad Kalinga. "It's been a sacrifice...of my friends, my family, my country," he says. "But it's made my faith a lot more real for me. It's not just the neighborhoods that get transformed, but I have been transformed as well."
"It's much easier (for me) to love now," he says. "You don't get that by just giving your money, but by giving time and seeing the people you're helping."
Stephen Huang never imagined himself becoming a philanthropist. When he moved to Los Angeles from Taiwan in 1974, his only goal was to go to school and help his father's textile business. For 30 years he built up Rio Sportswear Inc., as well as property development and banking interests. But a 1989 visit by dharma master Cheng Yen, who founded the Tzu Chi Foundation, changed his life. "After I saw her I went to Taipei and saw what she was doing -- building a hospital, a nursing college," he says. "This was really very different than what other Buddhist monks were doing."
He began Buddhist studies and started questioning his priorities in life. "Making money only seems to make you greedy," he says. "If you have US$10 million, you want US$100 million. Master Cheng Yen teaches whatever possessions you have you don't own permanently. So I found I should change my view of life."
Taking to heart the foundation's principle of "kindness, compassion, joy and giving through helping the poor and educating the rich," Mr. Huang retired at age 47 to work full time and be first on the scene when disasters strike, establishing priorities and ensuring the aid ends up with the people in need. His travels have taken him across North and South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.
Last week during his trip to Sri Lanka, he led a team of 35 doctors, nurses and pharmacists to Hambantota to establish a field hospital that saw nearly 350 patients a day. "Most were injuries such as cuts and bruises, as well as psychological problems," he says. Tzu Chi is also setting up a 300-tent refugee camp on 50 acres in Hambantota and preparing to send portable toilets, food, medicine, and water-purification equipment.
During the early days following the earthquake, Tzu Chi volunteers were among the few working in Aceh, where they had already been involved in building a village; currently the organization is shipping 30,000 tons of rice to the area.
Although Mr. Huang has witnessed disasters first-hand such as the 2003 earthquake that killed tens of thousands in Iran, he says the tsunami damage is the worst he has seen because it involved so many countries at the same time. "I've never had to work so hard, traveling from one disaster to the next."
"But maybe there are good lessons to learn from the tsunami," he says. "It killed the royal prince of Thailand just as it killed the lowest class of people in India. The disaster had no boundaries. We shouldn't have boundaries, either."
With your help, we can affect the lives of 10 million children by 2015.

I am a newbie here too. Don't know just when it happened--don't know just how it happened, but I can't get enough of this man and his music and poetry. When I heard about this new concert tour in Eurpoe I said to my husband "Ahem, honey, Leonard Cohen is starting a new concert tour in Europe. If I can get tickets to the Paris show, how would you feel about taking a little trip?" He said, "Whatever you want love. You make the plan and I'll go along." (he is a fan too). Well, Thursday morning 3AM found me sitting in front of my trusty computer duking it out for great tickets to the show in Paris on the 28th. I was so excited and nervous!! Great seats and ok, as long as we are going that far, why not Verona too? I am still walking on air--giddy like a shcool-girl. Can't wait to meet some of you fellow fans at both locations.

Derping around SDCC in our Sucker Punch cosplays… Amber made by me, see constructions notes and non-derpy pics on my website!
Found a portrait of me modeling my hand made cat ears, a popular product from my Cosplay themed accessories store! I have been making fantasy ears of all shapes for almost a decade now and refined and bettered this item continuously over the years.
My unique expression of cat ears are made of hard plastic that has been dyed each color, not painted. Inside the cartoony smooth shape are tufts of soft fluffy marabou feathers and an endless variation of color combination is made possible. I decorate my cosplay ears with ribbons tied into bows, flowers and whatever other cute adornments I can find and combine.
They are one size fits all and can be worn like a headband because I string them on a comfy elastic band. They are suitable for guys and girls, to wear to match your favorite outfit, or to instantly cosplay!
You can purchase these unique cat and fox ears (as well as many other items) on my website's store here.

Queen Chrysalis cosplay from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I made this costume for Equestria LA, the MLP convention in CA last weekend! The wig is the Ferrari in Mako Green from Arda Wigs, and the contacts were sponsored by CosLenses!
The costume was completely made from scratch by me except for the ruffle shirt which I had already. However, most of the pieces on this costume were made for other cosplays in the past so while I did create the pieces, I didn't have to rush sew a lot for this event. Instead, I spent a lot of time making the horn and crown, as well as the lace bolero.
I also designed a new style of wings for Chrysalis, which turned out so nice, I'm super happy with them!
You can get the pony ears on my online cosplay accessories store, and in a few days the wings will also be available!
I had so much fun wearing this at Equestria LA! It was cool to experience a pony con for the first time and be able to dress up as a character from the show!

text: Home eMed eMed Blog FDA regulators should take page from European handbook RSS Feed Link FDA regulators should take page from European handbook Posted by: Brian O'Connell on November 04, 2011 Source: Kauffman Foundation The evidence is mounting that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration is stifling innovation and keeping potentially life-saving products out of the reach of U.S. consumers. Nobody is saying that the FDA shouldn't do its due diligence, but the delays – and a creeping sense of "anti-business" sentiment among federal regulators – are working against not only healthcare and medical device companies, but against consumers, too. Don't take our word for it – just ask Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the deputy commissioner of the FDA from 2005-2007 and a practicing doctor and current fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Gottlieb recently wrote a scathing rebuke of the FDA in a Wall Street Journal opinion column where he says the agency has created a dangerous imbalance between what the government will allow when it comes to healthcare products and services – and what businesses and consumers actually need. Gottlieb opens his piece with a comparison between Europe and the U.S. on how each handles healthcare product approvals, and says the U.S. is falling so far behind, it's actually causing the death of thousands of its citizens. Here's how Gottlieb lays the problem out: An aortic valve approved in Europe four years ago will soon be approved in the U.S. Meanwhile, thousands who may have benefited from the device have died. When people age, the main valve carrying blood out of the heart becomes brittle. As this aortic valve narrows, it can cause debilitating heart failure, and even death. Fixing the problem in the United States requires open-heart surgery. In Europe, the problem can be repaired using a tiny catheter that introduces a replacement valve through an artery in the leg. In July, a Food and Drug Administration advisory panel said this device should also be approved for sale in the U.S. It is expected to reach patients by year- end—more than four years after it first hit the market in Europe. Gottlieb calls the foot-dragging by the FDA an "all-too-familiar story," where Uncle Sam sets up obstacle after obstacle to healthcare entrepreneurs, bleeding them of precious time and financial resources, thus making it much more difficult to get products out to market – and not only help consumers, but earn the revenues needed to keep the doors open and the lights on. Here's Gottlieb again: The FDA impedes useful innovations in the U.S. Entrepreneurs here are forced to test promising medical devices in costly animal studies for years before they can advance their products into clinical trials. When clinical studies get started, the FDA is asking for longer and larger trials that increasingly mirror hurdles proposed for new drugs. U.S. healthcare entrepreneurs are reacting by taking their products overseas, to more business-friendly bourses in Europe and Asia. Gottlieb states that over 50 percent of all approved medical devices available in commercial markets were first given the green light in Europe. He notes that in 2004, about 87 percent of all medical device studies were conducted in the U.S. Five years later, that number had drifted downward to 45 percent. In a classic "trigger" effect, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Association reports that the number of newly launched medical device startups fell from 118 in 2008 to 60 in 2010 (undoubtedly that decline was also fueled by the lousy economy). But simultaneously, the cycle times for medical device approvals have lengthened dramatically – especially trial programs. Furthermore, a study from the Boston Consulting Group notes that the European device approval regulations are just as tough and thorough as in the U.S. – they're just more proficient at it. While Congress is working right now on legislation that would make the FDA "less burdensome," Gottlieb says the U.S. government needs to tear a page out of the European handbook and streamline its device and drug approval programs. But the U.S. had better speed things up – lives and livelihoods are on the line, Gottlieb says: As for that aortic valve, more than 15,000 patients worldwide will receive the device by the time it's slated for approval in the U.S. Some Americans healthy enough to fly have sought the procedure in Europe. Tens of thousands of Americans unable to travel, and too sick to undergo open-heart surgery, have died during the intervening four years. This is no way to run a regulatory process if the FDA is serious about promoting medical innovation and advancing the public health. 10 Comments No Comments to Display Add a Comment Name: Email: Comment: Submit

Allowing an Adult Gift Shop to be Opened
Every town should be able to have an adult gift shop. It is wrong for the city to turn down the want of having one. Think about it, this is America. It is supposed to represent freedom. How can this be if the city will not even allow an adult gift shop to be opened. The opening of this business will allow adults the freedom to purchase adult material without the hassle of driving hours to get to another adult gift shop. Please support this petition and sign it if you would like to have an adult gift shop in our town.

Take a look at the OSU Supercomputer center: www.osc.edu -----Original Message----- From: beowulf-admin at beowulf.org [mailto:beowulf-admin at beowulf.org]On Behalf Of William T. Rankin Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2001 9:56 AM To: Beowulf Mailing List Subject: University Beowulf Support? Hello, I am looking for some information sources and was wondering if anyone could help. With Beowulf clusters springing up throughout academia in departments and research areas where computer administration and distributed programming have never been a great, err..., "focus" ;-), has anyone seen an example of where the University has stepped forward to provide cluster training and support as a central resource the way it does with other academic computing issues? Web sites and other pointers to existing programs would be greatly appreciated.

Part Deux
Secondly, the Republican Party cannot afford to make enemies out of potential allies. At the convention, the RNC itself controversially changed RNC Rule 40(b). This denied Ron Paul his unquestionable qualification for nomination, placement on the ballot at the convention, and his right and opportunity to address the convention on behalf of his constituents and his nomination. In my opinion this was nothing but a total takeover of the Republican Party by the RNC for whatever reason(s). Additional rule changes all but guaranteed that in the future the RNC will not be "embarrassed" by such "grassroots" candidates. Not only did the RNC rob Paul of the delegates he fairly won in Maine, it prevented any who follow in his footsteps in the future from winning any delegates and addressing the convention. Conservatives need to embrace our allies whether they be libertarian conservatives or others who want limited government, sound national finances, individual liberty, believe states have a 10th amendment right to decide social issues, and other such ideas and ideals. There are enough enemies without making more.
Lastly, conservatives need to learn to stick to principles and not change to try to attract different groups. In my opinion Americans vote for a leader for President, not some "moderate" like the Republicans have run in the last two election cycles. A leader projects consistency, principle and passion. I think to many independents Romney came across as unprincipled, inconsistent and in many ways out of touch. Look at his health care plan in Massachusetts; he was initially pro-abortion, but ran as pro-life; and his foreign policy proposals sounded expensive, extremist, and interventionist to many independents. Given a choice, why would any independent vote for a candidate who seemed nearly identical to President Obama on health care, inconsistent on social issues, and ready to engage in more foreign military activity? There is a reason why candidates like Ron Paul attract thousands of young people and independents – consistency. Whether or not one agrees with him, he is consistent on his ideas – "[birth control] pills can't be blamed for the immorality of our society" and "Guns don't kill, criminals kill" are but two statements of his principles that don't change.
I think there are many opportunities for conservatives to reach out to young people, independents, and people of all ethnic/racial groups. Maybe there needs to be more front porch swing or back yard chair sittin', green tea drinking and thought from the conservative side of the aisle.
or the American people wanted a true and tested leader in the Whitehouse.
New challenge: Quit whining and spinning-you guys had no platform-bottem line, no new ideas, spent 4 years chasing birth certficates, death panels, etc.

Our world is at a point of crisis that most of us could never have imagined. Factors of climate, war, culture, environmental destruction, resources, unemployment and financial decline are creating fear and uncertainty of the future. We are at what some predict as the end times.
Whether you agree with this or not, one thing that we all agree on is the need to set aside our differences and focus on mutual goals of restoration. We can no longer divide the focus by remaining in conflict within ourselves, our families, our communities, our country and our world.
A month or so ago, I met a man with part of his right arm missing -- he was a tree trimmer and had an accident involving a chain saw.
I asked him if the missing part ever hurt. He said as a matter of fact, it was bothering him as we were talking.
Over the last two decades, Kentucky has built a national reputation for its willingness to blaze new paths when it comes to education. Early this month, we took another major step forward with the release of the latest round of school accountability scores.
Recently, I had a raging flare up of my chronic, terminal hypochondria.
It always hits on a Friday after regular doctors' and dentists' hours are over, which only increases the intensity of the flare up.
I've died many times from hypochondria, if only in my mind.
This recent attack came as a result of using too many new dental hygiene products at once. I had seen a commercial that warned: If you're not whitening your teeth, you're yellowing them.
Sounds ominous, right?
For most of us, Veterans Day has always been a time set aside to honor all who served their country, no matter when that may have been. The holiday's early history, however, was much more specific.
It began in 1919, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month -- the exact one-year anniversary of the end of World War I. President Woodrow Wilson called it Armistice Day, a term some still use today, and commemorating that conflict remained the day's focus for more than 30 years.
For those keeping an eye on the calendar, Election Day is almost here and the feuding is almost over. Except it won't be over. It's never over.
Last week I attended a political forum, sponsored by the Chronicle. Held at the local college, the room overflowed with venom and vitriol and people who weren't just pro-their candidate, but anti-the other person.
Is it even possible to be pro-someone without being anti-the other person? Just asking.
(Editor's note: A Chronicle reader requested that we reprint this column that first ran in July 2004. It's a good one, so here goes.)
Several weeks ago, a friend and I were talking about ghosts in closets -- things that people say they've forgiven and forgotten, but they really haven't.
Compassion is defined as caring about the suffering and needs of others. If we want to live in a world of kindness and compassion, we must also walk the talk. This trait must be created inside ourselves and be demonstrated by our outward acts. We are each challenged to examine our own behavior and thoughts. We need to control our response to external events, actions and opinions of others in order to build compassion for what motivates their behavior. Compassion starts with being able to understand where the other person is coming from.
It's no surprise to people who know me that I am not a fancy Nancy.
I'm not plain, and I am (I hope) feminine, but I'm definitely not lacy, doily, flowery foo-foo.
I'm so not a princess.
That said, I'm constantly getting invited to women's events that border on the fancy. This past weekend, I was with a group of women at a nearby Victorian hotel, which has fancy in its very structure.
Here's a question for you: Is it wrong to be angry with God?
Most of us who are afraid of lightning bolts frying our faces off or earthquakes rattling our brains and opening the earth to swallow us whole would probably say yes.
God is God and Creator and we are very much not God. That said, can we be honest? Sometimes God does stuff — or doesn't do stuff — that ticks us off.
