Leaving for the Sierra High Route next week and have all my gear together. Will be out 8 days. I'm coming in at 37lbs for everything (food) included but not physical water. take a look at my gear. Don't know what the weather will be like at 10K and over for 8 dayshttp://www.geargrams.com/list?id=9548
I did the SHR plus some more trail miles last year from Sep 1-14. Zero bugs. First half was sunny and temps in the 70s. Second half was rainy/foggy and it even snowed, lightly. September is... usually... awesome in the Sierras but can be dicey if a freak system blows in.But even with cruddy weather. I was fine under a cuben tarp, no bug net. I used a 30degree quilt and was cozy, especially when wearing a lightly insulated wind jacket. Considering our difference in sleeping pad, I had two 1/8 inch foam pads... You should be well insulated from the ground too. I didn't have a down(ish) jacket, but it might have been nice if sitting around camp. I think a couple layers of polypro and a wind jacket are plenty Going solo, I usually slept in, then hiked til dark and went to bed immediately. I didn't have camp shoes or river shoes or anything. I found that my trail runners were comfy enough.I had super thin gloves that I basically wore the whole time, abrasion protection from rocks and cold protection in the morning. Also granite gets absurdly cold after a night... I might have wanted a bit thicker gloves for those foggy sleety mornings.Lets see...polycro is lighter than tyvekPossibly lose some 1st aid bulk... I had like a pin and duct tape... Or just move the gel and powder to food :P, depending on what kind of gel or powder it is...I barely used my trekking poles but they were nice when I was on trail. 20 straight miles in Yosemite, some near Mammoth.Seems like you are doubled up a little on polypro type layers.I wouldn't mind being out there again this year! Awesome trek.
Just a couple of thoughts:Jetboil fuel. I think the reason to take the weight of a JetBoil is because you can get a boil real fast and thus save fuel. Could you get along with 1 canister and save 7 oz.? I have a friend that figures he can get 21 boils out of a 4 oz canister. You have to be careful not to let it boil too long and use the boiling water ASAP.Headlamp 3 oz. Pretty sure there are a lot of lighter options.Tyevek groundsheet. May not even be necessary but if you want a groundsheet I would use polycro as it weighs half and compacts a lot better.Sanitary + First Aid+ 26 oz. I really can't think what I could put in those kits to come to 26 oz. I am usually at about 8 oz. for all of my sanitary and first aid. See Mike Clellands excellent videos on you tube under "Dinky Stuff". Repackage everything.Camp shoes? Even if you are to take some 7 oz. is a lot of weight. If you are hiking all day then just loosen your hiking shoes and walk around in them.That's all I have. Of course, it's all personal preference and experience using those preferences.I'm looking forward to doing the SHR with my son maybe next summer.Scott
FWIW I did a little Sierra loop with some pals that included a few days of SHR mammoth area. We all used 30 degree bags and slept well. Swapping this item would save you a good chunk of weight. (Maybe a little last minute for this?)I'd ditch the second pair of undies and wear your shorts when you clean them.Instead of carrying my heavy rain shell that I didn't expect to use much, I chopped and mod'd a pair of tyvek coveralls and sealed the seams. Never had to use it, but I was only carrying around 3 oz of rain gear...not including my dwr'd wind shell. I second the notion to repackage as much as you can. I used the smallest dropper that lawson sells for my dr. bronners and it lasted all 10 days with liberal use. Also I 3rd the polycryo over the tyvek. And another vote for leaving 7oz in camp shoes behind. But hey, comforts are what they are...I'd swap one of your ti stakes for a "y" stake and then ditch the hand shovel.One of my companions brought about 2 days too much food... (Most of it in bars, or ingredients) make sure you're thinking critically about your needs here.Will you be using an eating utensil? If you have a cozy for your eating vessel, you can use less fuel in cooking times.Will you be taking Maps? Compass? I found the skurka mapset was good for our sections. We happily followed his suggestion to drop down to rosy finch lake when roper says to contour above it.
You could drop some weight by ditching the sit pad (-3 oz), getting lighter pants (-4 or 5 oz), switching to a flexair pillow (-2 oz), switching to a polycro ground cloth (-3 oz), taking only one canister (-7 oz), dropping the ibex hoodie (-10.5 oz, seems redundant), and you could also eliminate sleep clothes (-11 oz). That drops 41oz. Just some suggestions.

BioAmber cuts IPO share price
May 8, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
Renewable chemicals maker BioAmber has lowered the price range for its proposed initial public offering, saying in an SEC filing that it is now looking to raise $88 million by offering 8 million shares at $10–12. The new price range is 30% below the midpoint of its previously announced price of $15–17/share—set early last month—for targeted proceeds worth $128 million. Its original target, set in November 2011, was $150 million. The filing also says each share being sold would include a warrant to purchase half a share of common...

Since his season ended, Stoudemire's offseason workout regimen has been well-documented. He's posted numerous videos of his training, building up strength and getting himself in optimal physical condition for the upcoming season. Being healthy in training camp is the first step to STAT and his teammates developing cohesion on the defensive end of the floor.

Anyone who watched Mitt and Ann Romney being interviewed on Chris Wallace's Sunday morning show and didn't regret that they aren't ensconced in the White House, instead of the Obamas, has a very weak grasp on reality. When even Bill O'Reilly, who was busy telling his viewers just a few short months ago that Barack Obama was a nice guy and didn't have a socialist bone in his body, has finally seen the light, I say that any Republican who sat home last November because he didn't think Romney was conservative enough or because he couldn't bring himself to vote for a Mormon, should take himself out behind the woodshed and give himself a good tanning.
When the presidential debates were taking place and I warned Romney to keep his eyes open for incoming drones, I thought I was kidding. Recent developments involving Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Attorney General Eric Holder, suggest otherwise. Those of us who have been paying close attention know how much Obama hates being thwarted, so perhaps Romney was lucky he lost the election, after all.
Recently, I wondered why Democratic senators even bothered showing up for work when they allow Harry Reid to make every single decision for them. Why don't they just sign over their proxies to him so they can stay home with the wife and kids? I had the same thought recently when I learned that the speaker of the Colorado legislature, a creep named Mark Ferrandino, refuses to allow his colleagues to vote on Jessica's Law, which ensures long prison sentences for people convicted of raping a child. In spite of Ferrandino's insistence that Colorado already has tough sentencing guidelines for such crimes, Fox News managed to come up with a number of cases in which child rapists have gotten off with one and two year sentences.
Instead of protecting Colorado's children, Ferrandino spends his time campaigning for same-sex marriages and the legalization of marijuana.
For my own part, I think Jessica's Law is too lenient. If there's a crime that screams for capital punishment, I'd say this is it. No insufferable defense attorney can ever argue that his client destroyed a child and a child's family because he was driven to it by poverty or acted in self-defense. It is an act of absolute evil, and any society that believes it is showing itself to be civilized by doling out anything less than a life sentence is sadly, even tragically, mistaken.
Speaking of which, have you ever noticed that liberals, who believe that abortions should be performed for any reason under the sun on anybody of any age, are forever insisting that whether it's raising taxes to pay for foolishness like Operation Head Start or increasing outlandish salaries and pensions for teachers, it's being done for the children? Children, these hypocrites incessantly parrot, remain our most precious resource. It would make as much sense for these arrogant bastards to argue that trees and flowers are proof of God's existence, but the seeds from which they sprout are worthless trash.
Another group of people who mean everything to liberals are The Poor. Because one of the surest ways to remain poor and voting the straight Democratic ticket in America is to remain uneducated, it figures that Democrats devote most of their waking hours to ensuring that poor people remain that way. That's why left-wingers are always prepared to ballyhoo all those lousy public schools with their inept teachers and administrators, who devote more time to demonstrating the proper use of condoms and suspending little kids for pointing their fingers at someone than they do to teaching reading, writing and math. Liberals have no reason to motivate people to achieve and succeed, which might very well result in their becoming Republicans. They would much rather encourage failure by coming up with new goodies to hand out to those individuals residing under that mysterious demarcation known as the poverty line.
What makes that line so illusionary is that most of the people allegedly lurking beneath it somehow manage to own color TVs, air conditioners, cell phones, automobiles, refrigerators, hand guns and fully-stocked liquor cabinets.
The fact is "poor" is merely a relative term. Some of us are richer than others and some of us are not, just as some of us are taller or shorter than others. Poor Americans would be middle class or even well-to-do in many, if not most, parts of the world. To believe that through the redistribution of wealth, one can do away with poor people is such an idiotic notion that you would have to be a Marxist zombie to believe it.
You might as well say that you're going to do away with dumb people through the redistribution of brains or eliminate short people through the redistribution of height.
Those, at least, could very well be noble enterprises. But only a fool would confuse being poor with being deserving. In this marvelous country, with all the advantages it offers to everyone, regardless of race, gender or national origin, poverty is far more often a sign of sloth and/or dumb choices involving sex, booze and drugs, than of any of the societal sins a liberal would blame it on.
I realize that the Bible claims that the Meek, which could be taken to mean poor people, shall inherit the earth. But it doesn't state how much earth. I have always taken it to mean a plot measuring roughly six feet by three feet.
Unlike Obama, I don't believe it means poor folks are entitled to everything their neighbors have. Otherwise, as I see it, coveting would be the equivalent of jay-walking, and we'd only have nine Commandments.

Romney attacked the Ron Paul republicans more than he did obama, he lost the election because he disenfranchised the young Republican Ron Paul supporters and never answered how we could trust in in matters of pro-life, pro-family, and freedom from obama care.
Romney lost it, obama didn't win it, Romney lost it and you head in the sand rinos need to get over it and either join the fight for freedom as entry level privates, or head for another country.
"I realize that the Bible claims that the Meek, which could be taken to mean poor people, shall inherit the earth." Actually it means the humble.
I quoted all of it because we all know the backbone of Obama's support was the African Americans of the United States.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics has released a study which finds that, despite the total number of prisoners incarcerated for drug-related offenses increasing by 57,000 between 1997 and 2004, the proportion of drug offenders to total prisoners in State prison populations stayed steady at 21%. The percentage of Federal prisoners serving time for drug offenses declined from 63% in 1997 to 55% in that same period.[10] In the twenty-five years since the passage of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act, the United States penal population rose from around 300,000 to more than two million.[11] Between 1986 and 1991, African-American women's incarceration in state prisons for drug offenses increased by 828 percent.[12]
In 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that U.S. State prison population growth rate had fallen to its lowest since 2006, but it still had a 0.2% growth-rate compared to the total U.S. prison population.[13] In California, the US State Prison population fell during 2009 for first time in 38 years.[14]
When looking at specific populations within the criminal justice system the growth rates are vastly different. In 1977, there were just slightly more than eleven thousand incarcerated females. By 2004, the number of women under state or federal prison had increased by 757 percent, to more than 111,000, and the percentage of women in prison has increased every year, at roughly double the rate of men, since 2000.[15] The rate of incarcerated females has expanded at about 4.6% annually between 1995 and 2005 with women now accounting for 7% of the population in state and federal prisons.
The United States has a higher percent of imprisoned minorities than any other country in the world. In Washington D.C., three out of every four young black men are expected to serve some time in prison. In major cities across the country, 80% of young African Americans now have criminal records.[16]"
The reason Americans are going to jail is that they are buying illegal drugs. Do we want to stop it? The consequences of a thoroughly narcotized population seems to be social chaos. I think we are pretty close to that anyway, and I think a lot of people want open borders because that makes dope a lot easier to get. We have a huge problem.. we have our heads in the sand.
The Rich, The Poor, Black, White, Yellow, Brown and Red: Listen Up!
When America defaults, crashes, and no one is buying our debt; we lose reserve currency of the world and all of those dollars come home to roost; and we have to pay our debts in real assets, how will you survive?
___Rich folks with Gold: When the shelves in the supermarket are bare, no amount of gold can buy what's not there.
___Poor folks with food stamps: Same as the rich folks with gold; you can't get food that's not there, since the shelves are bare.
___Thugs with guns: You folks'll be out in packs kicking doors down and taking other people's provisions while hurting or killing them in the process; and some raping as well. We will need guns to fend off these thugs!
This is when we learn that there is no such thing as Something for Nothing!!!
What complete crap!
Jessica's Law is a scam that has been promoted by the for-profit prison industry to substantially raise prison populations around the nation. It's not protecting kids from "child rapists," at all. Quite the contrary.
It has eliminated the ability of prosecutors to plea bargain what are truly lesser offenses, so most cases go to trial. There's nothing worse, perhaps, than forcing a six-year-old to document her abuse under withering cross examination by a defense attorney in front of a courtroom of strangers, doubling her trauma and jeopardizing legitimate convictions.
In Kansas, an 18-year-old who touches a 14-year-old on the breast could wind up doing 25 years. In Ohio, Mark Lunsford, the father of Jessica Lunsford, for whom the law is named, complained that his son was being prosecuted as a pedophile for exactly that same offense, even threatening the judge if his kid was sentenced to jail. It was "Romeo and Juliet," he claimed, not some "30-year-old pervert" needing to be sent away.
For-profit prison operator GEO Group actually "bundled" their bill to repeal the state statute banning new private prisons saying that the 1,000-bed prison they allegedly would build in an unsustainable location would be "a complete package," as they lobbied for passage of the conjoined measures.
Lunsford made a comfortable living running around to around 40 states in the union pushing his law and sucking up the proceeds of his unapproved "foundation." He even took an immensely expensive custom motorcycle and trailer donated for "the cause" as his own personal property.
A Corrections Corporation of America guard in Appleton, MN, put a gun under his wife's head and blew it off. After the first "homer" Grand Jury failed to indict, he fled prosecution to California City and applied to work for CCA there. A federal background check prevented him from doing so, perhaps because he had previously become a police informant to avoid prosecution on a prior offense.
He then went to the CCA pen at Florence, AZ, and was quickly back at work as a CCA guard, until the grandparents found where he had spirited their granddaughter off to. The Appleton D.A. then got a Murder I indictment. The guard, making eyes at a couple of women jurors (one of who went to his sentencing) managed to get a jury hung on the Murder I count and was convicted of manslaughter. He just got out in December, after serving only two years.
However, a woman convicted for violation of Jessica's Law in Kansas got life imprisonment this week.
Watching the Romneys' interview was painful. What a waste of an opportunity to have a true leader who genuinely cares about this country. Romney wanted to get into the WH and fix this mess. It still makes me sick how the media and Obama and his thugs and stupid supporters lied about Romney. What is happening to our country? Can we save the greatness of the United States? Just going to the Mall and seeing all of the fat, slovenly, tattooed losers yapping on their iPhones and buying crap they don't need, makes me question if there are even enough great Americans to fight for. My Dad owns several Section 8 houses and regales us of how his tenants have several big screen TV's, Sony play stations, computers, iPads, pool tables, designer tennis shoes and sit around all day, but bitch and complain if the a/c breaks, faucet leaks, etc. Then, they leave the house totally trashed when they move out. The SCARIEST thing is that my Dad voted for Obama. Twice. I don't get it.
Your statement that Obama loves entitlements is pretty dumb, pal. Unless "loving" Medicare and Social Security is wrong. He had to extend Unemployment because the slobs in the House want to keep construction workers home – never reading infrastructure bills & encouraging red state governors to send back stimulus $$$$$$. Think the top 5% don't get ENTITLED? Haaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And who fights their freaking manufactured wars? How about actually replying to me?
They are encouraging people to sign up for food stamps! If they are one of the few who have actually gotten a job recently, they don't NEED food stamps. Food stamps is an "entitlement" and 50 million are now on Food Stamps! Unions got GM. It was given to them at the expense of the bondholders who got stiffed. It's now owned by the unions. Think about it when you buy your next car. These are the guys who get the huge pensions and salaries and take long lunch and beer breaks before they go back to work. Illegals get free everything. Why? Because they vote, two or three times if possible. This nation is toast because everyone thinks they are "owed". We will soon see that the Chinese, who work hard and don't complain, are eating our lunch. If it weren't for them, we would be bankrupt already. They are buying our debt and the borrower is slave to the lender. So, America, we will now dance to China's tune. Congrats! See what "entitlements" got us? NOTHING but short term bailouts that only delay the inevitable.
The long primary season was the killer. The major media made a shooting gallery of it and the only guy who could be left standing was Mitt Romney, clean as newborn baby and Mormon! Oops!
See The Two Minute Conservative at: http://tinyurl.com/7jgh7wv and when you speak ladies will swoon and liberal gentlemen will weep.
And they will keep voting democrat as long as the democrats promise them "things".
The current poor of the USA are among the wealthiest and most privileged humans ever to walk the face of the earth.
america…the only country in the history of the world where the poor people are fat…
All the GOP had to do was nominate a guy that could beat Obama's record. Did they not notice that Romney was the only candidate against whom Obama didn't campaign during the primaries? You can claim that all the ignorant voters belong to the democrats, but there are apparently several million in the republican party, too.
His record wasn't all that bad – yes, the debt went up – but a thinking voter knew that he has to pay off the INTEREST on the DEBT left to HIM, plus the unfunded wars wars, pharma, etc. Ok? AFCA was a problem but it still is a national version of Romneycare, no? A thinking voter knew that Unemployment would have been way lower if Boehner & co. wasn't h*llbent on keeping the bluecollar infrastructure workers at HOME, got it? Further, people generally like the GM-Chrysler "bailout" YES.
His record wasn't that bad? Regan inherited a recession and it took only a couple of years to climb out. Obama's policies have not succeeded in turning the country around. You can argue that this recession is worst. That may be but I don't think so. The fed has tried to help Obama by printing money and by keeping interest rates at very low levels. Yet, Obama hasn't been able to get the country moving. The media claims that Obama policies are progressing in that the unemployment rate is improving. That support is completely inaccurate. Before it can be called a success, the employment rate has to exceed the number of people who are entering the work force and not just some weak improvements. Thus, the media only succeeds in hiding the truth, which they do since they are in the tank for Obama and the left. If Obama had not attacked the existing energy industry and instead promoted the unlimited drilling of oil and gas, the economy would be progressing at a much faster rate and unemployment rate would be much less. The proof shows in the private drilling of oil in the Dakotas. The unemployment rate there is around 3%. Compare that to elsewhere in the US where it is 7% to over 14% since many that are unemployed are not counted by the government counting methods. If unlimited drilling with a goal of making the US energy independent was pursued, the cost of gas could easily drop by $2 per gallon in the US. That amount of reduction would mean that $387 billion dollars would be saved by citizens and business and industry. That $387 billion per years is a continuing stimulus plus provided by private money and not government funds which tend to be a one time thing except under Obama who wants to make it permanent. Instead, Obama chose to support the increases of existing energy and the stimulus of green energies. We know how successful that policy has been. Let's look at this from the 47 million people who are on food stamps. I don't know how many miles per year these poor drive but let us use a number of 5000 miles per year and an average mileage of 25 miles per gallon. that means that the poor would save $400 per year and times 47 million people equates to $18 billion per year of less food stamps.
right on Bernie!

Replicant, Virgil de Voldere Gallery
Sunday, January 10th, 2010 midnight
Virgil de Voldere is proud to present Replicants, a group exhibition of four emerging artists. Rather than brood over a technocratic dystopia, herald clean utopian spaces, or take a reactionary stance on biological and environmental issues such as climate change and bioengineering, this exhibition explores potential futures in which imagination, adaptation, and creativity present a positive view of cultural and scientific progress. The artists—Ian Burns, Shane Hope, Gilles Rotzetter, and Scott Wolniak are wildly divergent in their mediums and methods: the work is outsourced and handmade, meticulous and low-tech, highly conceptual and grounded in materials.

Yoga in Schools: Cash Grab Abuses Trust of Teachers & Students.
Yoga Journal Misses the Point of Yoga in the Classroom?
Teaching yoga in schools is a way for yoga teachers to expand their reach—and their income.
The above statement from Yoga in Schools, a Yoga Journal business article, has kept me up at night.
The gist of this article is that teaching yoga in schools is a great way to make quick cash. Get a little training and then get paid well (the article sites examples of $150, and $200 per class) through a readymade, captive audience.
Really? Is this why we bring yoga into schools?
In addition, it seems out of date, citing only three organizations working to bring yoga to school children. If YJ truly had the pulse of the kids' yoga community they'd be aware of such remarkable organizations such as Shanti Generation, Yoga4Classrooms from Childlight Yoga, BentonLearning, the Newark Yoga Movement, Headstand (in their own backyard), YogaCalm, Yoginos, Move With Me Action Adventures and Yoga Recess—all actively bringing the benefits of yoga to children.
Yes, it is a "business" article and as such provides some ideas for how to market yoga to school teachers and administrators including starting through volunteering. As well, it warns of the possible controversy, that of yoga as a religion, which one can expect to encounter and how to avoid it. But there is so much more to teaching yoga to children, never mind the complexities of working within the school system.
Yoga Journal: step up to the plate and offer more support to the kids and teens yoga movement. I, myself, and others in this field have continually submitted proposals to this end which have all fallen on deaf ears. We're more than happy to do all the research and writing in order to provide quality information in a timely manner. I'd love to see a regular column dedicated to yoga for kids and teens, or even a rising generation YJ special edition.
Well, I'll get off my soap box and get back to trying to provide a valuable resource for parents, teachers, caregivers and yoga instructors so that they can touch the lives of children and teens through the beauty and power of yoga.

As a former kids yoga teacher who has volunteered in local schools, and a parent whose children benefit from the Yoga4Classrooms program here in Maine, I didn't see the article as being all that offensive. Rather, I read it as an enlightening business story showing the yoga teacher community an additional opportunity to reach their target audience. Unless any of the businesses listed in this article are doing so completely for free or only to cover costs, I think you have to admit, and accept, the fact that you are running a business. Many people do meaningful work they care deeply about for pay. I don't see anything wrong with this story. I DO however see how another article or column could and SHOULD be written to expand upon the reasons why yoga in schools benefits the students and teachers, and not just the yoga instructor.
Thanks Donna. I believe your point is valid and insightful. Yes, yoga is a very valuable tool in the classroom and yes, some people makes big bucks (maybe) and some others less. So is life. Still how wonderful that they are so many organizations willing to bring yoga to the kiddies. And i agree with you that they are many names that have gone unnamed
If there is anything we can do to help just put the word out… maybe is time to start a new publication all together… maybe JY does not get it… I think such magazine would be a success!! Information on yoga for children and teens…. lots of information, lots of organizations and lots of fun as well! I am all for it!
Great response to YJ!
Karma Kids Yoga also provides yoga to schools, as well as training for early educators, Elementary, Middle and High school teachers how to incorporate yoga into the classroom (a separate course from our main Teacher Training). We've trained many, many teachers and entire school faculty's in this, and never once did any of the teachers look at it as a separate business opportunity to making big bucks. It was a way to bring the benefits and principles of yoga into their classroom to reduce stress and anxiety, to create an opportunity for movement in the classroom, as a segue between subjects, and overall to use to help students focus and concentrate.
More and more schools are bringing us in to their main curriculum (versus just after-school options), or as a phys ed alternative, because the teachers are seeing a need and they have realized the overall benefits of yoga.
I believe the entire capitalist system is going to come crashing down hard very soon. Teach yoga to children because your heart tells you to, not for Ceasar's coins.
Sydney – you always eloquently cut right to the point – thankyou.
Yes, teaching kids yoga needs to come from the heart, because it is a whole other experience from adults: It's really about the instructor modeling yogic behavior keeping calm, sane and focused amid the energy and enthusiasm of their students.
I also agree that there needs to be more information about the benefits of yoga and kids. Addriya is attempting to fill in some of that gap. Stay tuned.
However, at the end of the day, whether you are a teacher, service provider or manufacturer, you need to run a sustainable business–mortgages need payment, food needs to be placed on the table, etc. Money is just one manifestation of your energy. Smiles on children count as well. It's all one big equation.
I love your final stance "Money is just one manifestation of your energy. Smiles on children count as well." Thank you.
The three yoga organizations mentioned are wonderful
I think you are proving a point in this article, but not a very good
one. When I was a part of yogakids in school I loved the class. The
teacher was amazing. They go though much training and they deserve to be paid like that.
What Yoga Journal said is there opinion and you just turned it in to a negative statement. That's not what yoga is about. If you are concerned about the little things like that, you don't deserve to be classified as a yoga expert.
Gretva Valesh
Donna, how did I miss this article before? Well done – it's nice to see that, at this point, YJ is in fact giving a few more pages to youth yoga in general, increasingly it seems with each issue. Let's hope it continues!
On the point of making $ teaching yoga, we all need to do it. But your point is well made there as well. One needs to be properly trained and perhaps $200 per hr. is a little steep, especially for financially strapped schools.
I must say I'm a bit surprised by Gretva's reaction to your opinion. You are also entitled to one and we have all benefited from hearing your viewpoint. That's what this conversation is all about!
I'm sorry – that was Lisa Flynn posting above.
Thank you for your comments and support of yoga in schools.
Yes, many, many people are making a difference in children's lives through their tireless efforts. The fact that YJ overlooks these efforts is frustrating. As the 'go-to' guide for yoga they have a responsibility to represent yoga for all populations.
Yes, the headline was sensationalistic – on purpose. I don't usually do that but was wanted to spark a response, or at least get people thinking. Often sensationalism is the only way to do that these days. Won't make a habit of it.
Thank you for your reply.

A few months ago, Robert Kirsner, MD, PhD, and Stephanie Wu, DPM, invited me to write a chapter on "Antimicrobial Therapy" in their upcoming Wound Healing Society Yearbook. The design of the chapter is a review of a recently published primary study and two or more secondary studies.
I was extremely familiar with the primary study, the randomized controlled trial on pexiganan (Dipexium) versus ofloxacin (Floxin®, Daiichi-Sankyo) by Lipsky and colleagues.1 However, one of the secondary studies really struck a chord with me. It was the study in the British Journal of Surgery by Michaels and colleagues, who reported on the VULCAN trial, a large randomized trial looking at the use of silver dressings in venous leg ulcerations (VLU).2
This study of 213 recruited patients not only looked at wound healing differences between silver-containing dressings and non-silver, low adherence dressings in the treatment of VLU but also the cost effectiveness of the two.2 The primary measure was complete ulcer healing at 12 weeks with secondary measures including: time to healing, quality of life and the aforementioned cost effectiveness. Although I do have some issues with the study design including the leeway given in dressing selection, compression definition and number of visits, I do find the results interesting.
As one might reasonably expect given the paucity of good evidence on the effectiveness of silver dressings as a class, the VULCAN study found no significant differences between dressings in the number of ulcers healed at 12 weeks (59.6 percent in silver dressings, 56.7 percent in non-sliver dressings) and no differences in median time to healing.2 As one may also expect, silver dressings cost significantly more to use ($46.60 vs. $8.70 as converted from the reported British pounds). As the authors concluded, "There was no evidence to support the routine use of silver-donating dressings beneath compression for venous ulcerations."
This finding won't surprise anyone who has heard me lecture on "Differentiating Infected From Non-Infected Wounds" as I did at the recent American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) meeting in Seattle. It should also not surprise those who have read the chapter on "Diabetic Foot Infections" in the 3rd Edition of the Handbook of Lower Extremity Infections (specifically page 120).3 The finding also will not surprise anyone who has read my blog post from March 3, 2010 entitled "Bioburden and Wound Healing." (See the third blog down at www.leinfections.com/2010/03/ [1] )
Silver dressings are everywhere. Just about every wound healing product line includes a number of silver donating products in every imaginable format. Yet there is little to no evidence to support that they have any benefit in wound healing or preventing wound infection.
This revelation first came to me upon reading the Cochrane Collaborative systematic review of the literature on silver dressings that, like the VULCAN trial, found little evidence to support their routine use.4 This does not mean I do not use silver dressings. Like most clinicians, if I see a heavily colonized wound, I am seemingly genetically programmed to reduce the bioburden and kill the bugs.
What I am saying is that we should be practicing evidenced-based medicine and not costing our patients or the healthcare system dollars that none of us can afford to spend on a therapy without solid science behind it.
So the next time a sales rep comes to speak to you about the latest and greatest silver product, ask for scientific proof that it contributes to wound healing rather than some pretty "before and after" pictures. Unfortunately, I doubt you will get much. These products all have FDA approval as 510k medical devices. Therefore, there is little clinical science necessary to get them approved.

Document Number: 6773Ladders Of Learning: Fighting Fade-Out By Advancing PK-3 Alignment - This paper outlines the importance of having strong, well-aligned programs beginning in pre-kindergarten (PK) and extending through third grade (PK-3). It reviews the short-term impact of PK and full-day PK programs, then summarizes the evidence that these impacts may "fade out" by the primary grades. To fight fade-out, PK-3 alignment is proffered as one means to enable children to maintain and expand upon the gains they make in early childhood education. PK-3 suggests that PK experiences should be aligned with kindergarten and that kindergarten should be aligned with early elementary education. The paper closes with federal policy recommendations that provide both models and incentives for the nation, states and local school districts to institute and strengthen PK-3 alignment.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
Somewhere along the way, this wholesome little film found its way into my heart.
Oh, it was definitely not love at first sight, much to my disappointment. I had such high expectations for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, mostly because everything I had heard about the film was positive. People absolutely adored this movie, from those who saw it when it came out in 1995 to new Bollywood watchers. So when I bought my own copy and failed to fall head over heels, I was naturally surprised. However, after a second viewing (and many more Bollywood movies later), I started to soften towards it. Today, after understanding a bit more about Bollywood than I did initially, and after reading about the film and why it was so successful, I have a new appreciation for it. You could even say I'm quite fond of it.
The first time I saw DDLJ, I had a hard time digesting Shahrukh Khan as Raj.
I had just decided after watching Kal Ho Naa Ho, that I loved King Khan unconditionally. But when I saw him as Raj, he was quite different than the SRK-branded character who had grown on me. This SRK made some awful facial expressions and wagged his pinkie when he was describing a trip to the "loo"(I've since learned that this is a common gesture in India, thanks to Bollywhat.com, and it doesn't bother me now). His haircut reminded me of a mullet(although I know it wasn't), and, quite frankly, I thought he was an immature prick(I love a sense of humor in a guy, but Raj just acted like a little kid--he got me to laugh, but I wouldn't have taken him seriously as a potential mate and I'm surprised Simran did based on the first half of the movie alone).
Now, I see Raj in a different light. Not only do I have somewhat of an understanding of Shahrukh's personal success story(which helps me appreciate his performance more), but I see the good qualities that Raj possesses, especially in the second half of the film. Although he doesn't seem to know when to quit being so obnoxious in the first half, once he knows Simran's heart belongs to him, he's very attentive and affectionate with her(See the scene when she "swoons" during her fast, the way he hugs her when he first arrives in India, and the scene when he and Simran feed one another). I also learned that Bollywood usually had more macho-man heroes in this time, and that Raj was one of the first to help out with the women's duties and even give fashion advice.
Kajol as Simran was a no-brainer; She was amazing. When I see her in DDLJ today, I'm reminded once again why she's my absolute favorite Bollywood actress. She's so warm and expressive, most of the time wearing her heart on her sleeve...I should really make a point to watch all of her films someday, not just the most popular ones.
As far as chemistry between the two leads, I wasn't blown out of my chair when I first saw DDLJ. I did think they made a cute couple, and it was obvious they were comfortable with one another, but I didn't see any real fireworks(This was before I saw Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and I've since changed my mind, completely). Now when I watch DDLJ, however, I love the innocence of their romance. Its such a pure-hearted film, and anything less than Raj and Simran's puppy love would have ruined that.
DDLJ has its corny moments, but somehow after watching another huge hit from the early nineties, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, those moments don't seem quite so corny anymore.
And, speaking of HAHK, after I saw that movie, I can see why DDLJ was such a hit. It expressed the same importance on family values and the innocence of love that HAHK did, but in a better made film. Its those values that caused me to give DDLJ a second look, and I'm glad I did. I'm also glad I understand DDLJ and its phenomenon as a result, because it certainly is a biggie in Indian cinema.

Much has been said during this campaign and often the truth has been distorted, bent, perverted, warped and deformed.
So here is a final roundup of facts:
While the practice of gun walking originated during George Bushs presidency years, Operation Fast and Furious began after Barack Obama took office.
The federal government accounts for less than 1.5 percent of General Motors sales. Its not propping up the company.
Food stamp usage, including during the Great Recession, increases in proportion to the severity of the recession.
The Obamaphone does not exist. The Federal Communications Commission does administer a program that helps poor families pay for phone service.
In 2008, under Bush, the program was changed to include cell phones.
The Affordable Care Act slows the growth of Medicare spending over a 10-year-period in order to extend the life of the programs trust fund from 2016 to 2024. It doesnt cut any current benefits.
In discussions about the middle class, remember that the median family income is $50,054, according to the Census Bureau. That means half of families make more than that and half make less.
Most families do not pay the estate tax. In 2011, about 8,600 estates (out of 2 million) were required to pay the tax.

Daniel Bice, the Journal Sentinel's watchdog columnist, holds politicians and the powerful accountable
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson links Democrats to Marxists
Days before President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson offered some provocative remarks about Democrats over the weekend.
Speaking to Jefferson County Republicans at an annual Lincoln Day Dinner, Johnson tied Democrats to socialists and Marxists, according to the Daily Jefferson County Union.
"Let me describe what we're up against as conservatives, as patriots, as people who like freedom, as people who like this country," Johnson said in a 30-minute chat at the Comfort Suites in Johnson Creek on Saturday night.
"We are up against a strategy that is taking place by liberals, progressives, Democrats, whatever they call themselves nowadays, Socialists, Marxists," Johnson said. "We are up against a strategy that has taken place for about a hundred years. Diabolically simple. It's simply this: A big American government. The problem with that is far too many Americans have bought into that."
Using a PowerPoint presentation, Johnson credited liberals with having seized control of much of American society, the newspaper story said.
"They have taken over our universities rock solid," Johnson said. "In particular, when you control the college of education, journalism, of law, and economics, you control our culture. You utterly and totally control our culture. Liberals have had control of our culture now for about 20 years. We are engaged in just a huge, important struggle. A battle of ideas."
But the first-term Republican senator told his audience of 118 individuals not to lose heart, even with Obama's victory in November.
"I'm sure I share your emotions from the results of Nov. 6," Johnson said. "No doubt about it. That was a body blow to Americans. A body blow to freedom. My primary philosophy tonight is: Don't give up; don't get discouraged. Don't frown. Get out there and help us start rebuilding our effort. It's crucial that we need to do that."
Also speaking at the event were state Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack and local Republican lawmakers Steve Nass, John Jagler, Neal Kedzie and Scott Fitzgerald.

Despite finishing two games above .500 in 2012, the Los Alamos Hilltopper football team was shut out of the Class 4A state playoffs.
Los Alamos wasn't invited to this year's playoffs, missing out on the postseason for the third time in four seasons.
Only one team from District 2, widely considered the weakest district in the state, was selected for this year's 4A playoffs. Santa Fe, which won the district race, including topping the Hilltoppers 62-30 in Los Alamos Oct. 19, will be the only District 2 representative in the 4A field.
District 2 has sent the minimum of one team to state every year since 2009. Los Alamos won the district title in 2011 and advanced to the postseason as the No. 12 seed, but was drubbed by Los Lunas in the opening round.
Surprisingly, the Demons (5-5) didn't receive the No. 12 seed in the bracket, as many expected. Instead, the Demons earned the No. 11 seed, while Roswell (5-5), which finished three spots ahead of Santa Fe in the most recent MaxPreps.com rankings – one of the most important determinants for seeding and selection – was given the No. 12 seed.

Scotus on Instants in Divine Cognition
Ordinatio I d.35 q. un
"Hoc potest poni sic: Deus in primo instanti intelligit essentiam suam sub ratione mere absoluta; in secundo instanti producit lapidem in esse intelligibili et intelligit lapidem, ita quod ibi est relatio in lapide intellecto ad intellectionem divinam, sud nulla adhuc in intellectione divina ad lapidem, sed intellectio divina terminat relationem lapidis ut intellecti ad ipsam; in tertio instanti, forte, intellectus divinus potest comparare suam intellectionem ad quodcumque intelligibile ad quod nos possumus comparare, et tunc comparando se ad lapidem intellectum, potest causare in se relationem rationis; et in quarto instanti potest quasi reflecti super istam relationem cuasatam in tertio instanti, et tunc illa relatio rationis erit cognita. Sic ergo non est relatio rationis necessaria ad intelligendum lapidem-tamquam prior lapide-ut obiectum, immo ipsa ut causata est posterior (in tertio instanti), et adhuc posterior erit ipsa ut cognita, quia in quarto instanti"
This can be posited thus: God in the first instant understands his essence under a merely absolute conception; in the second instant he produces the stone in intelligible being and understands the stone, to that there is a relation in the understood stone to the divine intellection, but still none in the divine intellection to the stone. But the divine intellection terminates the relation of the stone as understood to itself. In the third instant, the divine intellect can compare its own intellection to any other intelligible to which we can compare, and then by comparing itself to the understood stone can cause in itself a relation of reason. And in the fourth instant it can quasi reflect over that relation caused in the third instant, and then that relation of reason will be known. So therefore there is not a necessary relation of reason for understanding the stone-just as prior to the stone-as object, indeed it as caused is posterior (in the third instant), and it will still be posterior as known, because in the fourth instant.
"Et ita, intelligo quod in primo instanti est a sub ratione absoluti; in secundo est b sub ratione absoluiti, habens esse per a; in tertio b refertur ad a sub ratione absoluti, si est relatio non mutua, - vel a et b referuntur relationibus mutuis. Hic ergo, in primo instanti intellectus est in actu per essentiam ut mere absolutam, tamquam in actu primo, sufficiente ad producendum quodlibet in esse intelligibili; in secundo instanti producit lapiedem in esse intellecto, ita quod terminus ille est et habet respectum ad intellectionem divinam: nullus autem est respectus e converso in intellectu divino, quia respectus non est mutuus.

I'd be interested in the arguments to the contrary by the Scotists. The formal distinction seems to make this kind of thing fairly natural--that the divine intellect generates the Platonic universe, which is not really separate from it. Sure it seems to mitigate the divine simplicity somewhat, but it doesn't destroy it--just gives it "nuance"! Sic saltem mihi videtur.

I'll try to post some of it; Alnwick just says Scotus didn't mean what he said, Peter Thomae says something like, if Scotus meant what I"m saying, good for him, but if he meant what he actually wrote, then he spoke badly.
I have a hard time seeing why its so terrible, other than the reason you mentioned; all of them would probably agree to the first instant, so it seems to me that Scotus is just spelling out what goes on when(the eternal when) the divine intellect understands the divine essence, as opposed to more vague claims made by other scholastics such that "God knows creatures by knowing His essence".

The trick it seems to me is to determine just what these "instants" are in the eternal cognition. Would it be helpful to speak of "layers" or "levels" to remove the quasi-temporal feel? Should we understand the "production" of the contents of the divine intellection as occurring logically but not sequentially, like mathematical objects in the classical treatises? e.g. the production of a conic section in Apollonius. I can't think of another way to understand it.

given the fact that Scotus elsewhere upholds divine simplicity and immutability, and the fact that he wasn't a moron, your suggestion sounds like a great idea.Incidentally, in discussing predestination he posits a similar process (i think it also has four stages/levels) in the will. If you want to read PT's remarks, look at the second question in the group that i sent you a while back. the text is decent enough, though there are a few homoeoteleuta.

It's an inside joke.
- November 1, 2008 at 7:16 PM
In that passage, Scotus talks of the Divine Intellect causing within itself relations of reason explicitly. The stuff about producing things in intelligible being and such also seems to suggest causation in the Godhead. So, how would Scotus, in face of all this, still defend divine immutability, as a commitment to divine simplicity (even though a loser conception than Aquinas'), among other things, would require? For myself, I cannot see it; I would be interested in an explanation from one of you (Lee or Michael), if you have the time. Thanks!

I'm back, America.
I have been home, on U.S. soil, for the past 3 weeks, and it has given me some time to reflect on being a black woman in U.S. vs. being a black American woman in France. Living in France for the second time was rather colder than the first but a bit more illuminating in terms of race. That can be attributed to the fact that while Aix-en-Provence, the first city that introduced me to the entrancing world of French culture, is an international student-city in the sunny south, Vannes is situated in Bretagne, in the rainy north-west of the country. Aside from the nonstop rain, Vannes was whiter than white. Not to say I didn't see black people – indeed, I noticed black women on my daily bus route to work, but many public spaces, like the port, the library, and the grocery store were lacking in color. Admittedly, there were actually two black hair stores and a café Afrique that shut down while I was there, but that was about it.
Binta, the young Senegalese woman who did my hair, broke it down for me one day, "There's no black people here because it's too small because there are no jobs. But a lot of them marry French." By "French", she meant white men, and her sister, the owner of Ebene Cosmetique, was one such example. I noticed, with a certain amount of chagrin, that many Europeans of color refer to their privileged compatriots as the standard of that country, while they are specifically marked by their race. "English" are white, but English blacks are, well, black. The same goes for conversations I have had with German blacks. I suppose we hold the same standard in America, but because of our sordid misdealings with the social construction, although blacks may not be considered true "Americans" we do not refer to our white counterparts as simply "Americans". Indeed, we are obsessed with race but rarely given the proper tools to talk about, much less acknowledge, our race problems. And white Europeans know it, effectively allowing them to ignore their own issues, I discovered.
When I first arrived in Vannes, I befriended a couple of local boys, and we often went out to bars since there is little else to do in the city. Amazed at the utter whiteness of the venue, one night I asked my friend, "Do you ever notice that there are essentially no black people here – why is that?" and he said, "There are some, just not many. But it's very different in France, we are much less conscience of race in France than Americans." He smoothly side-stepped my question and turned the focus to America's racism. Because America is a popular topic in the media, the nightly French news frequently reported breaking American news. Thus, the world beyond our borders is informed of how race issues are part and parcel to American culture. Continue reading

Herbert Baxter Adams Prize Recipients
The Herbert Baxter Adams Prize is awarded annually for a distinguished first book published in English in the field of European history. The prize was established in 1905 in memory of the first secretary of the Association, Herbert Baxter Adams of Johns Hopkins University, who was also one of the founders of the Association.
2014 Adams Prize
Daniela Bleichmar, Univ. of Southern California
Visible Empire: Botanical Expeditions and Visual Culture in the Hispanic Enlightenment (Univ. of Chicago Press)
Daniela Bleichmar has produced a compellingly original and methodologically sophisticated study of how the European Enlightenment sought to describe, represent, and comprehend the natural world. Imaginative, lucid, and intellectually engaging, it is an example of interdisciplinary history at its very best. Its particular success lies in its skillful embrace of both the visual and imperial turns in the writing of European history, and its undeniable achievement in shedding new light on both.

14:00 CET, 14th February 2012 By Stefan Frei.
The Secunia Yearly Report 2011 analyses the evolution of software security from a global, industry, enterprise, and end-point perspective. We present data on vulnerability, exploit, and patch availability and correlate this information with the market share of programs to evaluate the true threats. By doing so, we address the main challenges that organisation's face when protecting their software portfolios and, therefore, formulate a strategy to optimise limited security resources in light of the current dynamic threat environment.
The report underlines what we like to call the known/unknown challenge – the great divide between what programs you think you have installed and what you actually have installed, and what you then choose to patch. For instance, the programs that an organisation perceives as top priorities to patch vs. the programs that cybercriminals actually target are often vastly different. A typical corporate infrastructure contains layers of programs that organisations a) consider business-critical, b) know about, and c) don't know about. Many organisations will focus on patching the top layer – business-critical programs – only. However, cybercriminals will target all programs.
Importantly, our research concludes that rare programs can also be targets. Indeed, it's not just the usual suspects anymore – uncommon programs can also be exposed to cybercriminal attacks. Analysing the market share vs. exploit availability demonstrates that all programs are at risk.
In order to tell the story behind these conclusions, I am pleased to share with you some other highlights of the report.
The good news is that we can all take back control. 72% of vulnerabilities had patches available on the day of disclosure; therefore the power to patch end-points is in the hands of all end-users and organisations.

Exposing an American Myth
Who pays the price?
12:00 AM, Apr 15, 2010 • By GARY ANDRES
Congress as an institution also suffered reputational backlash as voters realized Obama's Kumbaya didn't translate to the legislative process. Analyzing congressional approval/disapproval in polling is one way to measure Congress's change in status among citizens over the last year. For example, Congress's net disapproval more than doubled from -25 points (58 percent disapprove/33 percent approve) to -57 points according to the Real Clear Politics average of all public surveys measuring congressional support from April 2009 to April 2010. Congressional consideration of issues like the stimulus bill, cap and trade, and health care all exposed deep divisions among rank-and-file voters. The partisan conflicts generated by these issues drove down congressional approval ratings over the past year.
Lawmakers, like Bart Stupak, and Congress as an institution bears the consequences of President Obama downplaying real differences and raising false hopes that he could bridge this diversity.
The myth of consensus on public policy explains why many Americans hate politics. They just don't understand why Congress and the president can't find common accord. The answer: that consensus doesn't exist. Barack Obama did little to help the country understand its differences. Instead, he perpetuated the myth. His approval numbers, as well as those of Congress, are now suffering as a result.
