(CHARLOTTETOWN, PE) Charli LeBlanc has done it again.
The Varsity Reds swimmer recorded another CIS qualifying standard, on day two of the Dave Mills Memorial Invitational swim meet, at the University of Prince Edward Island.
LeBlanc won the women's 50-metre backstroke in a time of 29.48, almost a half second under the qualifying standard for the national university championships.
It was the third win of the meet for LeBlanc, who has now qualified for CIs in three events.
UNB's Marya Peters won the women's 100-metre freestyle, in a time of 58.32 seconds. Peters posted five top three finishes in the two-day competition.
LeBlanc and Peters were joined by Nadia Kashetsky and Kayla Martin on the women's 4X100-metre freestyle relay team. UNB swam to a second place finish.
It's not a race Martin would normally run. "It wasn't exactly our primary team. It was really fun, I don't usually do 100 free, I'm not a sprinter, per se. So, to come out with that result is really awesome."
Varsity Reds head coach Robin Ferdinand was pleased with her team's effort. "People are getting life-time bests, in January, which is not usually… with a month to go to championships, they're usually still in training mode and they are still swimming really well."
The Charlottetown meet was the last before the Atlantic University Sport championships, in Halifax, in February. In fact, teams now have four weeks to prepare for the conference championships. "That's better for us," says Ferdinand. "A few people are recovering from sicknesses and injuries. And this is a really good stepping stone, because people had some good swims here."
Kayla Martin agrees. ""The team is on a good track, I think we're ready, we've got to start supporting each other more, because it's going to get hard. It's crunch time."
The AUS championships take place February 12-14, at Dalhousie University, in Halifax.
On the men's side of the competition, Dalhousie's Gavin Dyke set a new AUS record in the men's 200-metre freestyle, clocking in at 1:49.27, besting the 24-year-old mark of 1:49.99, set by UNB's Jason Lukeman, in 1992.

Got your attention? Yeah, that word got mine too at my midwife appointment yesterday. Apparently I am measuring big – like a month too big. That's affirming in a sense because I have felt so much bigger than I expected to be at 12 weeks, but holy shamoly! Twins!
It could be that somehow I have been pregnant a month longer than I knew… somehow. Or, I am just huge. My uterus got a little excited and popped right out. Or… or there are two babies inside of me.
I have an ultra-sound tomorrow. I'll let you know. (and I'll have a cute picture to post)
God, be with me.

The news that a 15-year-old student had opened fire and killed a classmate at tiny Freeman High School struck a familiar note here in the Basin. A little over 20 years ago another boy of similar age killed two classmates and a teacher at Frontier Middle School. We know well the emotions that Freeman and Rockport are feeling now, even if it�s hard to put into words.
Not that there�s any shortage of armchair psychologists and talking news heads with things to say. Everybody out there, it seems, knows how the tragedy could have been prevented, and who�s to blame, and what should be done next. They may never have experienced it themselves, but they know all about it.
The first thing to do, of course, is blame Mom and Dad, as though they stood blithely by and watched their child gravitate toward murder. �They should have been more involved,� say critics who have never actually raised teenagers. Adolescence is a murky time when kids are figuring out their own identities. It�s common for them not to share thoughts and feelings with their parents. Couple that with the notorious mood swings and poor impulse control that make the teen years so interesting, and even the healthiest home life becomes a roller coaster. How can you tell that Teen A is going to TP the English teacher�s house and Teen B is going to spray the classroom with lead? Answer: you can�t until it happens.
The same thing applies to the criticisms that parents should have been stricter or looser in their rules, or that they should or should not have had him on medication, or any factor that shows up in hindsight. Most parents are doing their best and no parents wanted this to happen. Let�s lay off them.
OK, so how about the school? Shouldn�t they have been better prepared? Of course. What they really needed were armed guards in every hall, bulletproof vests on every student, tear gas grenades in the nurse�s office. They certainly should have anticipated something that in more than 99 percent of schools will never happen. As for teachers and counselors interacting with the child, see above. If the parents couldn�t predict the worst, a teacher probably won�t either.
Then comes the politics. Folks on one side of the aisle will demand all kinds of restrictions on weaponry while folks on the other side will accuse them of using the tragedy as an excuse to push an agenda. We�re not weighing in here on either side of gun control. But we do point out that guns are a normal part of the American environment, just as Japan has earthquakes and Australia has snakes the size of oil tankers. One tragedy isn�t going to make them go away.
So what can we say to the families of Freeman High School?
We can say that it�s going to be horrible for a while. That fingers will point and neighbors will be mad at each other. That the trial and its aftermath will put a strain on relationships between friends and family.
We can say that even though a community never completely heals from something like this, the pain and fear do eventually fade into the background. Your kids who are in school now may never enter a classroom again without a sickening dread, but in a few years they�ll be grown and a new generation of kids will be able to have a normal school experience. The teachers who are there now will retire and be replaced by fresh new faces who know about the violence only through stories.
We can say that the news jackals that descend on your town will rip open your community, hold it up for the world�s horrified entertainment, and then leave it just as quickly when a juicier story comes along elsewhere. That the names Freeman High School and Caleb Sharpe will crop up in the news as footnotes every time violence breaks out somewhere else.
We can send our thoughts and prayers, and unlike so many people who spout that phrase reflexively, we can mean it because we once needed them ourselves.
Hang in there, Freeman. You�re not alone.

NY Rep. King questions Moscow's cooperation with FBI on Boston bombing
A member of the House Homeland Security Committee says the FBI would have carried out a much more intense investigation of two men now suspected in the Boston Marathon bombings if the Russians had informed Washington of "the mother's radicalization" and "the son's radicalization."
New York Republican Peter King says such information "definitely would have caused the investigation to go further."
King also tells NBC's "Today" show he worries about limits on Moscow's cooperation with Washington in the case, saying "there's a bit of a dance here."
The congressman says Moscow doesn't want to reveal information "that gives us an idea of how they do their intelligence" work, their sources and methods.
King also says it's difficult to believe that two people could have executed the Boston bombings alone.

Plastic Surgery in 2015
Could 2015 be the year when we can stop saying 'no pain, no gain' when it comes to cosmetic enhancement? Toronto-based plastic surgeon Dr. Martin Jugenburg thinks so! Here's what he had to say when asked for his insight on what was hot in 2014 and what will be hot in 2015.
Dr. Martin Jugenburg: There was no big news or a game changer in Canada in 2014, but what I am tremendously excited about are two products currently available in US that hopefully will get approved in Canada in 2015. They are Neotensil and Exparel.
Neotensil is a product for under eye bags that is applied daily and helps to non-surgically reduce the bulging of the fat under they eyes, one of the hallmarks of aging. I see this product being as successful as Botox and Latisse, both of which are selling like hot cakes in my clinic.
Exparel is a long lasting local anesthetic that I can't wait to get my hands on. Once available in Canada, I imagine it will revolutionize cosmetic surgery. Suddenly post surgical pain, one of the biggest obstacles for many people thinking about having any procedure, will be erased for up to 72 hrs. Pain is worst in the initial stages after a procedure, and if this anesthetic injection allows us to skip this painful recovery period, cosmetic surgery will seem that much easier to have.
About the Expert Martin Jugenburg, MD FRCSC is a board certified plastic surgeon and founder of the Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute located in the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Internationally trained, Dr. Jugenburg is one of Canada's foremost authorities in the fields of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

SBC resolutions affirm women, denounce abuseDALLAS (BP) -- Messengers to the 2018 Southern Baptist Convention affirmed the dignity and worth of women, denounced all forms of abuse and called for sexual purity among Christian leaders in adopting 16 resolutions Tuesday (June 12).
Passage of the resolutions on women, abuse and pastoral purity by nearly unanimous votes late in the afternoon session came after months of disclosures of sexual abuse and misconduct by male leaders had rocked Southern Baptist and other evangelical churches and institutions.
Adoption of the measures also came in the wake of the May 30 termination of Paige Patterson at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary following his alleged mishandling of the reported rape of a female student and criticism of his advice to a woman abused by her husband. Read More

10 resolutions for missions in the New YearRICHMOND, Va. (BP) -- It's a new year -- a time when many of us make resolutions. If you're like I am, those resolutions are often self-focused. We plan to exercise more, eat less, save more dollars, take more time off, accomplish some long-delayed goals, and generally make this year more productive than the last one.
These resolutions aren't wrong, but I'd like to challenge you to think more externally and globally with your resolutions this year. The new year is not only an opportunity for a new start. It's another opportunity of grace to be part of reaching the nations. Read More
Sex abuse prevention resources available at sbc.netNASHVILLE (BP) -- While a growing international storm of sexual abuse allegations and revelations has swirled for more than a month, the Southern Baptist Convention has long encouraged churches to be proactive in preventing abuse, SBC resources show.
Spiritual leaders, churches and seminaries should model, exhort and teach the highest standards of moral and ministerial integrity, and churches should use legal resources and avenues to exclude sexual predators from leadership and influential positions including pastors and counselors, the SBC said as early as 2002.

Messengers voted on the proposals over both days of the annual meeting, adopting resolutions that expressed compassion for those devastated by the Orlando mass shooting, urged consistent evangelism of unbelievers and encouraged care for refugees. They also passed measures that included calling for the federal government not to discriminate against people who support only the biblical, traditional view of marriage and opposing an effort to require women to register for the military draft.

Oshawa Second Marsh August 15th, 2013
August already. And we're well into it. I went on the 2nd of the month but I was feeling restless around the house today so I went down again. I'm lucky that the marsh is only 15 minutes from home.
I often think how lucky those that work in either of these office buildings (a telemarketing company and General Motors HQ) are for lunch-hour or after-work walks. Three nature areas -- McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve, Darlington Provincial Park and Oshawa Second Marsh surround them. I meet someone now & then that I'm pretty sure are from one of office buildings, but with our busy lives, and the lack of interest in nature of many people, I imagine very few ever make it to any of the three.
Purple Loosestrife... an invasive, but a pretty one. It's plentiful in the marsh this month.
Amongst some Wild Cucumber
Sadly, due to a number of factors, Monarchs are a pretty rare sight this year. Normally I would have seen hundreds by now. I've seen about a dozen so far this year.
Update: Scratch one Monarch from my sightings. This is the Monarch look-a-like, a Viceroy. Thanks John.
When I see a plant like this, I'm always impressed at how nature strives to ensure that the species survives... hundreds of seed pods on a single plant. This is Horseweed. Thanks John.
Daisies with some seed pods of another plant to add interest.
Some plant names intrigue me. This is Joe-Pye Weed. According to Wikipedia, Joe Pye, an Indian healer from New England, used it to treat a variety of ailments, which led to the name Joe-Pye weed.
Another first for me... clear Farewell Creek meeting muddy Harmony Creek. There must have been rain in the Harmony Creek watershed but not the Farewell Creek one.
August is the month for Wild Cucumber. You can't mistake its leaves.
And its tendrils are everywhere as it climbs anything in its path.
I thought this was interesting... several stages of Red-seeded Dandelion on a single plant.
If you're not close to the water it's pretty much impossible to see anything in the water because of all the greenery. I did see four Great Blue Herons. This was the best shot I could manage.
There were grasses in every shot.
Poor results here (more grass) but I like the wing position I caught.
August is the month for 'Poor Man's Orchid' (Himalayan Balsam). There's lots of it this year. It's spreading.
Bees love it, which gives it another of its common names-- "Bee-Bums" since that's all you see (if that) of the bee when they crawl inside the blossom. This guy almost disappeared completely when he went in.
Most of the blossoms are pink, but a few are white.
I always like to see wildlife in the marsh... even a rabbit.
Queen Anne's Lace... another common sight in the marsh and elsewhere in our area. Many of the blooms have entered the "bird's nest" stage.
Cattails prevail in the open marsh areas -- and water lilies on the water.
Moody clouds over Wilkinson's Pond.
I didn't realize that Field Bindweed grew so tall. This plant is at least 5 feet. Common names include Perennial Morning Glory and Creeping Jenny.
Easy to see why some call it Wild Morning Glory.
These Basswood (Linden) trees aren't in the marsh -- apparently the Brits call them Lime Trees. They're immediately across the road to the north. Many of its leaves have leaf-galls on them. The tree forms the galls to defend itself against various mites and insects that use the leaves, etc. to lay their eggs in.
The fruit of the Basswood attaches to light-green "paddles".
Though the galls look ugly, the experts say that they don't cause any long-term harm. These ones are called spindle galls.
I'm not rushing the seasons, but fall is always much more interesting in nature to me. And whether we like it or not, it's not far away now.

An Excel spreadsheet developed at the University of Illinois helps pork producers determine the value of feeding distiller's dried grains with solubles (DDGS) to their pigs.
University of Illinois Extension Swine Specialist Hans Stein and his postdoctoral student, Beob Kim, developed the new spreadsheet. "Producers can use their own costs for corn, soybean meal, DDGS, and other ingredients, and then calculate how much their diets cost without and with DDGS," Stein explains.
The spreadsheet can be downloaded at the Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA) Web site, http://www.ilpork.com.
Stein says the spreadsheet resulted from producers' questions about the economics of feeding DDGS to swine. "The answer to that question is not universal because producers have different costs."
IPPA President Phil Borgic from Nokomis, IL, praised the work of Kim and Stein, adding, "We are proud of the fact that IPPA helped fund the swine Extension specialist position that brought Hans to Illinois.
"IPPA realized the serious financial situation facing pork producers, and we are doing everything we can to help producers deal with higher feed prices. The DDGS calculator gives producers another tool in making management decisions related to utilizing DDGS in swine diets and reducing the cost of feed rations."
Stein has been active in numerous research efforts related to DDGS in swine diets. His research has received funding from the National Research Efficiency Consortium coordinated by the National Pork Board.

ROXBURY, NJ – Roxbury residents should not be alarmed when they get letters saying their water is being tested for lead and copper, township officials said recently.
Roxbury councilman Bob DeFillippo and Dan Kline, both members of the township Water and Sewer Committee, said the water tests are not the result of any suspected contamination. They're just precautionary measures.
"Our concern … is nobody should get the impression we have lead and copper in our water," said DeFillippo. "We don't. This is the result of water problems we've heard about in cities like Newark, Jersey City and Flint, Michigan."
Kline and DeFillippo said the state is now requiring lead and copper tests be conducted every six months on municipal water systems. "I have very high confidence there are no problems in Roxbury with lead and copper," he said.
The potable water being supplied by Roxbury Water Co. will also undergo the tests, said the council members. Houses that get water from private wells are not part of the testing program.
The public water supply tests will determine only whether the water being supplied to households meets standards relating to lead and copper. The officials noted that people can still be exposed to the dangerous materials if the lead and copper are introduced into their water by their plumbing.
People drinking water from private wells can minimize their risk of exposure by letting their faucets run for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for cooking and drinking, says the township on its website.
Kline said he "reached out" to Roxbury Schools Superintendent Loretta Radulic last year, when there were news stories about lead contamination elsewhere in the nation. "She confirmed there is no lead in the school water," Kline said. "If we do find anything, we will act with immediacy and urgency to fix the problem. However, we do not anticipate that in the slightest."

We're calling it now. The geometric trend that presented itself in the triangle print here and the faceted vase there is about to blow up. With Pantone declaring it one of the hottest trends of the new year (and we personally agree based on what we've been seeing), you're bound to notice simple shapes picking up speed and adorning everything from tiles, wallpaper, home furnishings and decor. Expect to see plenty of circles, triangles and hexagons galore!
Kasey Hodgson, interior designer and co-owner of Roost Interiors, agrees. "Because of my background in graphic design, I have a particular fondness for geometric patterns," she explains. A recent bathroom renovation (seen above) features an array of shapes that, when combined together, showcase a modern twist on age-old classics. Cabinet doors with clean-lined, geometric molding contrast nicely with overscale circular knobs, oversized subway tile, and the patterned mosaic marble floor. "We plan on incorporating bold geometrics using tile, wallpaper and fabric in the upcoming year," says Kasey, adding that she finds clients tend to be big fans of the straight forward geometric motifs.
ITALIANBARK is also seeing the trend take off in tile work, as evidenced by the pieces showcased at Cersaie, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings. "Unexpected" hexagons, chevron, and fish scale patterns (a new take on simplistic circles and geometric shapes) left quite an impact.
You don't have to go all in by ripping up your walls and floors; you can choose to incorporate the trend subtly by adding in an art print, end table, or wall hanging to your space. Though of course, if you'd prefer to make the trend (which happens to still be pretty enduring in terms of style) more of a main focal point in your home, a geometric tile backsplash in your kitchen—like the one here via Architectural Digest—or bathroom or a dedicated wallpaper nook would look so on point.

PROJECT ARTICHOKE 'Special Research" Areas – April 24, 1952
<—Back to Index listing of Declassified CIA documents
This CIA declassified document was found in documents obtained by The Black Vault.
If you'd like to see it where it was in the mix originally, in the below zip file look for the folder labeled DOC_0000184365/
For those to prefer to look at it online, you can go to this Black Vault page CD-ROM #2 and again – look for the folder labeled DOC_0000184365/
This documents details a discussion with a high TSS staff member (Technical Services Staff – Sidney Gottlieb's division of the CIA). It details what areas (in addition to whatever else they were doing) that they wanted to do "special research" on as part of PROJECT ARTICHOKE.
In 1948, the CIA hired Willard Frank Machle to be the Assistant Director to CIA head Roscoe Hillenkoetter. Machle is described by an official history as having a "distinct flair for intrigue and behind-the-scenes activity,".
Willard Machle
Roscoe Hillenkoetter
In January 1949, the CIA created the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) to coordinate scientific research projects led in this field. Dr. Willard Machle, its first Director (4,5), coordinated a special interrogation program for alleged Soviet spies in Germany in the summer 1949. Machle also researched the creation of a "Manchurian candidate" through behavioral modification. The first CIA project for the application of the methods of drastic interrogation techniques was project BLUEBIRD (1949/1950-1951).
Machle was impatient with finding himself limited to analysis of information collected by others, so he wanted to take control of the undercover agents who actually gathered the 'scientific secrets'. He went on extensive trips to Europe, the details of which have been deleted from the declassified CIA histories. Apparently though, congressional hearings revealed that he had organized sub rosa attempts to uncover secrets that the agency's spies were unwilling to tell the analysts. These maneuvers were soon detected and, accused of spying on another part of his own organization, Machle was fired in February 1950.
When Machle died in 1976, his obituary portrayed him as a man devoted to the cultivation of orchids—and not one word about the CIA.
Sounds like character McCready in V for Vendetta.
After Machle was fired in the spring of 1950, Sheffield Edwards (Army Colonel) replaced him. Declassified intelligence files from the National Security Archive show that Edwards later personally handled joint CIA-Mafia operations in connection with assassination attempts of Fidel Castro.
In August 1960, Mr. Richard Bissell approached Colonel Sheffield Edwards to determine if the Office of Security had assets that may assist in a sensitive mission requiring gangster-type action. The mission target was Fidel Castro.
– MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence. SUBJECT: ROSELLI, Johnny. 19 Nov 1970, found at the National Security Archive
Edwards proposed to form interrogation teams under the command of the Office of Security. The teams were composed of a psychiatrist, a polygraph (lie detector), an expert hypnotist and a technician. Research into methods of extracting information or creating false memories was also engaged in, which L. Ron Hubbard engaged in at the Dianetics Research Institute in 1950.
Edwards named the project BLUEBIRD and it was classified TOP SECRET. It was treated with particularly conscientious secrecy, because it established a behavioral control program within the CIA in close collaboration with the Office of Scientific Intelligence.
On April 20, 1950, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, at the time Director of the CIA, officially approved BLUEBIRD. To protect its most secretive activities, unaccountable funds were authorized.
The official objectives were:
(a) discovering means of conditioning personnel to prevent unauthorized extraction of information from them by known means,
(b) investigating the possibility of control of an individual by application of special interrogation techniques,
(c) memory enhancement, and
(d) establishing defensive means for preventing hostile control of Agency personnel.
Three months later, three interrogators traveled to Japan to test behavioral techniques. They arrived July 1950, which was just about a month after the Korean war started. They were ordered to hide their true mission from US military authorities by saying that they were doing "intensive polygraph" work. They tested a truth-telling cocktail of drugs consisting of sodium amytal and benzedrine on four prisoners. They also tried to induce amnesia on them. Three months later, they experimented on 25 North Korean prisoners using "advanced techniques".
At Camp King in Oberursel, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the CIA began developing "extreme interrogation" techniques and "behavior modification programs".
Regarding the overseas experiments, it's interesting to note that John Marks, in his book Manchurian Candidate, detailed that the CIA refused to provide him (at that time) with documents concerning the above overseas type experiments.
Under my Freedom of Information suit, the CIA specifically denied access to the documents concerning the testing of hypnosis and psychedelic drugs in cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies. The justification given was that releasing such documents would reveal intelligence sources and methods, which are exempted by law. The hypnosis experiment was never carried out, according to the generic description of the document which the Agency had to provide in explaining why it had to be withheld.
Morse Allen became the head of BLUEBIRD at the end of 1950. He was a former OSI officer. During WWII Allen worked for the ONI tracking down 'leftists' in New York.
On August 20, 1951, BLUEBIRD was renamed ARTICHOKE.
In January 1952, ARTICHOKE was transferred from being under the OSI to the Inspection and Security Office (ISO). This was the predecessor to the Office of Security. This reflected a change from being purely an intelligence unit to being an "operating unit." The CIA's Technical Services and Medical Staffs were to be called upon as needed. OSI would retain liaison function with other government agencies.
Memorandum for the record. Subject: Project ARTICHOKE. 31 Jan 1975 National Security Archive.
The memo stated: "Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature, such as self-preservation?"
The ARTICHOKE project went under MKULTRA on April 13, 1953, where work on all the same basic areas of interest continued.

Text excerpts from Document
1. On Wednesday, 23 April 1952, the writer had an extended conversation with [redacted] a consultant to this Agency and a ranking officer of the TSS organization. [redacted] expressed great interest in the Artichoke problem and closely related matters and stated to the writer that he personally would offer assistance both in research and in money to any projects along these lines that the writer might suggest. [redacted] stated that he did not wish official communications in these matters since he stated they were too slow, but suggested, with the approval of [redacted] that he be given a brief, informal memorandum covering projects which we felt were of material interest to the Artichoke project and which could be done by research within TSS or by contract or "farming out" to capable researchers or institutions. [redacted] stated that he felt the Artichoke work was of extreme importance and no time should be lost in getting Artichoke research under way. He stated he would do everything in his power to expedite and carry out necessary research.
2. In view of [redacted] statements, on Thursday, 24 April 1952, the writer discussed the situation with [redacted] and [redacted] suggested that the writer draw up a list of suggestions related to Artichoke and that in the near future he ([redacted]), [redacted], [redacted]. and [redacted] and the writer could study these suggestions and determine which of them were suitable for research or for development otherwise.
3. Set forth on the following pages are a series of suggestions which are related to the Artichoke program and which the writer feels are worthy of exploration. Some of the suggestions are controversial and, in the opinion of the writer, they could be presented to outstanding authorities in the fields to be considered and it could be asertained from these authorities whether or not full-scale research would be warranted.
4. For matter of record and to explain such subjects as electro-shock and lobotomy appearing in the attached list, these subjects were introduced into the conversation by [redacted]
I. CHEMICALS (Including Drugs)
It is believed that specific research should be undertaken to develop new chemicals or drugs or to improve known elements for use in the Artichoke work. A study should be made to determine what drugs are best suited for direct use on subjects along the lines of amytal and pentothal and which drugs are best for indirect or long-range approach to subjects. This second type of drug should be one that could be administered over a considerable period of time, possibly being placed in food or water and would either have an agitating effect (producing anxiety, nervousness, tension etc.) or a depressing effect (creating a feeling of despondency, hopelessness, lethargy, etc.) This study should include chemicals or drugs that can effectively be concealed in common items such as food, water, coca cola, beer, liquor, cigarettes, etc. This type of drug should also be capable of use in standard medical treatments such as vaccinations, shots, etc.
While there are literally hundreds of chemicals or drugs that effect the mental processes of an individual many of these chemicals or drugs could be eliminated by individuals having special knowledge in the chemical/drug field. It is known that the Army Chemical Warfare Service has made exhaustive studies along these lines and perhaps they could furnish us with many specific answers. Men like [redacted] could, undoubtedly, give pertinent information if they could be properly approached.
It is felt that a exhaustive study should be made of various gases and aerosols that woud be effective in Artichoke work. Also a study should be made of the effects of oxygen (or other similar type) deficiencies.
In this connection, gas guns, jets or sprays, both concealed or open, should be studied. In addition, the problem of permanent brain injury and amnesias following lack of oxygen or exposure to other gases should be examined. (See related problems below.)
The effects or high and low pressures on individuals should be examined as a possible basis for Artichoke work.
The writer has been unable to obtain any worthwhile information on studies in this field that would apply specitically to the Artichoke problem. However, it is felt that a considerable amount of research could profitably be expended in the field of sound. This research should include the effect on human beings of various type of vibrations, monotonous sounds, concussion, ultra-high frequency, ultra-sonics, the effect of constantly repeated words, sounds, continuous suggestion, non-rhythmic sounds, whispering, etc.
This field may conceivably be valuable in that these media are capable of producing illnesses which in turn would produce high fevers, delirium, etc. It is also well known that species of the mushroom produce a certain type of intoxication and mental derangement. While this group of subjects is closely related to I above (DRUGS), it is conceivable that they could be handled as a different type of research.
This important subject has not been properly explored from the point of view of the Artichoke work.
The removal of certain basic food elements such as sugar, starch, calcium, vitamins, proteins, etc. from the food of an individual over a certain period of time will produce psychological and physical reactions in an individual. A study should be made to determine whether or not the removal of certain food elements from the diet of prisoners over a given period of time will materially condition them for Artichoke work. Highly spiced food and extremely salty foods are constantly reported in intelligence reports in connection with interrogation. While it is probable that this is solely to produce thirst, research may show that it has other effects.
In this connection, it is conceivably possible that it certain dietary deficiencies produce advantageous results from an Artichoke point of view, specially canned foods having elements removed could be manufactured or prepared for individuals held in custody.
This subject has been discussed at considerable length and still is considered a controversial matter. Whether or not its use as a positive weapon for gaining information from or control of an individual or whether it is another third-degree method does not seem clearly established to the writer. The foreign intelligence reports seem to reflect that electroshock, when used by the Soviets or their satellites, is primarily a third-degree method. We have been unable to find any indication from or control of an individual directly.
The writer has been unable to find anywhere that the electroshock coma has been used as a means of obtaining hypnotic control of an individual.
Whether an individual will reveal information as a result of electroshock, or while in an electroshock coma has not as yet been demonstrated to the writer and the writer, to date, has found no literature in this connection.
The low-powered electroshock found on the common electroshock machine is a third-degree method apparently.
Whether electroshock can produce controlled amnesias does not appear to be established except in the time area immediately surrounding the electroshock treatment and, although it is possible that severe or sustained electroshock may produce a vegetable, it is doubted if the Agency will support this activity.
The writer can find no information of electroshock treatments being applied to normal individuals for purely experimental purposes.
This field should be examined by the Medical Staff.
This field should be thoroughly explored. The idea of obtaining a sleep or sleeplike coma or a narcosis by electronics would appear to have a great deal of merit from an Artichoke point of view. The writer has been told that there are electronic sleep-inducing machines that are of the non-shock, non-painful variety. One of these was reported to be in use at the University of Richmond Hospital, Richmond, Virginia. Details, however, are lacking. Whether or not the machine is dangerous is unknown, but if an electronically induced sleep could be obtained and that sleep used as a means for gaining hypnotic control of an individual, this apparatus might be of extreme value to the Artichoke work.
The writer is of the opinion that the Agency, under no circumstances, would consider this type of thing as an operative measure. However, it is felt that the subject could be examined by the Medical Staff to ascertain whatever value it may have and whether or not the Soviets could be using this technique as a weapon.
[redacted – probably Max Fink] a medical consultant of the Agency in the field of psychiatry, might be valuable in this connection.[redacted] certainly would know [redacted- probably Walter Freeman] who is regarded as an authority in this field and who resides in Washington, D.C.) This field should be examined by the Medical Staff.
The effects of glaring lights upon an individual are well known and have been a standard police procedure for years. By the ame token, the use of white walls in connection with glaring lights appears to be another standard technique. While these and related techniques should be studied, the writer is of the opinion that special research should be conducted to determine the effect of long and continuous exposure of individuals to infra-red and ultra-violet light. Some work might possibly be done involving opaque walls or walls upon which shadow movies could be projected. Also the effect of colors upon individuals might be worthy of research as a conditioning mechanism.
There are a great many psychological techniques that could be used in connection with the Artichoke work. Many of these techniques are well known and have been used by clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and interrogators for a long time. It might be found that certain of these techniques, particularly if applied in reverse, would be highly advantageous to successful Artichoke operations. Among the psychological problems that might be considered for study would be:
A. Moving or vibrating rooms.
B. Distorted Rooms.
C. The deliberate creation of an anxiety condition.
D. The creation of panic, fear, or the exploitation of established phobias, etc.
E. The effect of heat and cold.
F. The effect of dampness, dryness or saturated or dry air.
G. The general problem of disorientation.
H. Completely soundproof areas.
There are many electronic devices of various types that may be important from an Artichoke point of view. For example — can the electro-encephalograph be used as a device for detecting certain types of treatment that individuals have been subjected to? Does an electro-encephalograph reflect electroshock treatments or head injury or drugging? Does an electro-encephalograph reflect whether or not an individual is under hypnosis? Can an electro-encephalograph be used to affirmatively establish whether an amnesia has been produced?
It would be a great advantage if a small, effective hypo-spray device could be designed along the lines of a fountain pen. This, of course, would necessarily have to include some effective chemical or drug that could be used in this connection with the hypo-spray. This would be a very valuable weapon.
Set out immediately below is an excerpt from the publication entitled "LUCIAN CARY ON GUNS", (Fawcett Book 110), article entitled "Gadget Guns Mean Murder", page 122:
"Guns shooting tear gas were made in this country between the two world wars and many police departments bought them. One type was hardly intended for police use since it was no bigger than a funtain pen and was made to look like one. During World War II the Germans made what they called "scheintot" pistols. The German word literally means "appearance of death". The appearance-of-death pistols used a gas that renders a man unconscious as quickly as holding an ether cone over his nose."
This device should be run down. The writer would like to know the effective range of this weapon, the type of gas used and how long the coma condition lasts.
The writer knows that Lucian Cary is a well-known authority on guns and has written extensively on such weapons.

If you turn on Update Edits Automatically, AutoCAD Map 3D immediately attempts to save any edits you have made to checked-out features back to the feature source. If updating fails for any reason, the setting remains off so you can resolve feature edits.
You can change the default setting for Update Edits Automatically.
When you create layers for SHP and SDF data, AutoCAD Map 3D may create a local cache the first time you edit those layers. For large files this may be time-consuming. To avoid this, turn on Update Edits Automatically for large SDF and SHP files.
If the feature source provider supports persistent locking, and Update Edits Automatically is on, checking out a feature locks that feature; checking in a feature unlocks it. You can release locks on features by checking them out (if you are the user who locked them) and then checking them back in.
If the feature source provider supports persistent locking and Update Edits Automatically is off, use Cancel Checkout to unlock features without saving your changes to them. When you do this, you synchronize the state of the feature you checked out with those in the feature source. That is, you delete new features created locally, and replace locally modified or deleted features with the versions from the feature source.
Some providers (for example, Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL) support revision numbers, which increment a numeric value in the feature every time you commit a change to that feature in the feature source. This allows AutoCAD Map 3D to see if a feature has been edited by another user. If another user modifies a feature while you have it checked out, a revision-number conflict can occur. This might happen if you check out the feature while you are offline, or if the feature source provider does not support persistent locking. In such cases, you cannot overwrite the other user's changes to the features. Instead, turn Update Edits Automatically off and choose Cancel Checkout for the features that have conflicts.

Sudanese Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said that France has repeatedly hosted meetings for Sudanese opposition parties under the pretext of including them in a prospective peace deal, Quds Press reported yesterday.
The Sudanese news agency reported Ghandour saying: вҖңDespite the African Union roadmap which was adopted by the government, the statement of the last meeting for the [
Sudanese] opposition in France discussed the forceful overthrow of the government.вҖқ
He said the French envoy to African affairs took part in the meeting which вҖңis considered an implied acceptanceвҖқ.
Meanwhile, Ghandour said that his ministry summoned the French ambassador to Khartoum to clarify the French situation. вҖңThere is no hostility between France and Sudan and France has no intention to interfere in internal Sudanese affairs,вҖқ Ghandour reported the French ambassador saying.
He said the French ambassador apologised for вҖңany misunderstandingsвҖқ and reiterated his countryвҖҷs keenness to maintain good relations with Khartoum.
On 20 April, a number of Sudanese opposition leaders held a meeting in Paris and announced their refusal of requests that they join the proposed roadmap to peace.
The meeting ended with a statement stressing the principle of cooperation among the opposition parties in order to achieve вҖңpeace and democratic changeвҖқ along with starting mobilisation for a peaceful and popular unprising to topple the current authority.

PITTSBURGH — Bernie Nicholls heard the trade rumors before.
He heard them last season. But he went out and scored 70 goals and figured he had done enough to be a King forever.
He heard them earlier this week swirling around himself and teammate Luc Robitaille. But Nicholls joked about them at first, even asking Robitaille when he was going to pack his bags.
There was no joking Saturday. Just shock and a chill down his spine. The joke was on him. The unthinkable became reality. The trade rumors became fact. Bernie Nicholls became a New York Ranger.

What are your thoughts on BBDA BeBevCo company? Here is what I know about them. They are the exact opposite of 5 hour energy drinks and appear to have a niche in the 5 hour liquid relaxation category. They recently were granted the rights to sell in all 78 stores in South Carolina. The big story there for me is BBDA's CEO shared a letter from one of the regional merchandise managers from South Carolina Walmarts; the letter speaks for itself…
http://bebevco.com/shareholder-update-from-a-regional-merchandise-manager/. This leads me to believe it will be going to all the Walmart stores and that will open the flood gates to all retail outlets.
They are also establishing operations in Europe! Their brand name and marketing appear to be exceptional.
They have a large float, but have stopped market capitalization and are planning to begin to buy back shares http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bebevco-ceo-comments-end-marketplace-140000609.html.
It feels to me like this company is poised to explode with a product that could be in every Walmart, Target, convenience store and gas station in the world like Coke and Pepsi. This feels like a new niche and phenomenon. What are your thoughts on this company?

This is my last DT work for Meg´s Garden. I was actually asked to stay on for another term but I felt it was time for me to leave. I have really loved working with Meg´s beutiful products and I´m very pleased with my last project. It feels extra good to leave with some nice work.
My cards is often very 3d so to make a box and put the card in is a nice idea.
I use my scoringboard to fold the box.
On the lid I used the same picture as on the card. But on the lid I used the large one.
When you take the lid off you can see the card!
To frame the picture I used a chipboard frame from Meg´s
I painted the frame with Crackle Paint in the color Picket Fence. Love that effect.
Rub-ons from Melissa Frances. And the square cake doily from Meg´s is soooo pretty!
I used almost exactly the same flowers from Prima on both the card and box. Here you can see the size difference between the pictures. I think this will fit for a wedding card?
Tank You Meg for the opportunity letting me design with your products!

As promised earlier this month I am herewith posting the first lecture in my Basic Humor course. This series has been found to be necessary due to the uncommon quantity of noncomprehending visitors to this blog– folks who simply can't seem to wrap their minds around my cartoons. This humor deficit seems to be limited to left-leaning visitors; more moderate thinkers have no problem getting my stuff and even finding it reasonably funny.
I have a possible theory on why the left fails to grasp so much humor, and the culprit once again, no surprise, may be Manmade Global Warming. The left is consumed with angst over this non-event. [A non-event because 1) there is evidence that we may be cooling rather than warming, and 2) warming trends as well as cooling ones have ebbed and flowed over the eons probably since the early days of this planet, with no discernable ancient SUVs or other manmade things in sight to have caused these quixotic temperature changes. Though, it is possible that modern man with his greenhouse gasses and miscellaneous crap may yet be responsible for temperature variations in past epochs via the newly theorized "carbon time-seepage," in which evil greenhouse gas emissions may actually have traveled backwards in time to wreak havoc on climates past.] Anyway– in their endless preoccupation over imminently rising, globally warmed oceans and other horrible warm junk the left can't possibly have mental room for other things– like humor. They're just too worried. I'm hoping my series will help them work around this.
My first lesson pertains to the cartoon called "Zoned Out." Many visitors claimed that because I've utilized the "it's cold out; what kinda Global Warming?" thesis in an earlier cartoon, this renders the new one nonvalid or lazy. These readers need to acquaint themselves with the concept of the "running joke," also known as the "running gag." This is a well-worn idea used in plays, films, TV shows, comic strips and every other species of humor known to man. My suggestion to stumped or angry visitors and commentors is to go back to Aristophanes, continue reading through the comedies of Shakespeare, onward to Sheridan, Shaw, Wilde and any other notable playwright you can get your hands on and right up into the present. Note the occurance of these "running jokes." When you have attained a full grasp of how such things work, come back to Diversity Lane. We'll be waiting for you with, maybe not open arms but certainly a nice organic sandwich.

-Dr. David Gorsky; "The infiltration of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and 'integrative medicine' into academia."
Excellent article. Do read: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=28

I agree wholeheartedly about medicine that works vs. that which doesn't. I happen to be in a profession that some still consider to be "CAM" (you can email me privately to discuss if you wish). I've always had a very sensitive bunk detector. Thankfully, my profession seems to be shedding it's CAM-iness, except for the inevitable fundies still out there (and any new ones who are attracted).
That said, there may be some value to certain so-called CAM therapies. I've always wondered why, if the claims CAMT proponents make are true, and are so simple to verify with RCTs, such RCTs haven't been done. It shouldn't be that difficult to design a study to test some of these things. Perhaps NCCAM can be retooled a bit to weed out the outlandish stuff, and "weed-in" the therapies that have value.

A lot of the proponents of alternitive medicines sound a lot like religious zealots. They talk about their technique of choice is emotional terms and often claim it as the cure for everything. Studies that show it doesn't work are dismissed as an attempt by the medical establishment to discredit their One True Way so that pharmecutical companies can push drugs on the poor ignorant masses who haven't been forutnate enough to hear about the wonderful therapy that can cure all.

I sent you mail.
"I've always wondered why, if the claims CAMT proponents make are true, and are so simple to verify with RCTs, such RCTs haven't been done."
I think many CAM practitioners are simply nonscientific. I mean, they're already doing these 'therapies' without data - what have they to gain by possibly undermining them?
"Perhaps NCCAM can be retooled a bit to weed out the outlandish stuff, and "weed-in" the therapies that have value."
At the very least, those modalities which supposedly operate by mechanisms unknown or counter to modern science need to be dismissed. They are prima facie BS and are a waste of public funds.
- May 10, 2009 at 2:50 PM
I agree. It either has evidence or it doesn't -- and everything at some point was alternative. One positive slant though-- Don't forget the best tested and most powerful medicine of all time: PLACEBO!!! Clinical effect is therapeutic effect PLUS placebo effect. If it doesn't hurt, is cheap, and it works for that particular patient - good for them. Obviously this mainly holds for issues more like depression and pain - but placebo can help the nasty things too.
I was also suprised that some seeming BS things like low level laser therapy for pain (basically point a cheap laser pointer where it hurts) has pretty good RCTs for it. So just because we don't understand it, doesn't mean it doesn't work.

But when six exchange students go missing, two airplane passengers trade places, and one political-asylum seeker is arrested, a deadly chain of events is set in motion.
With the United States facing an imminent and devastating attack, America's new president must turn to covert counterterrorism operative Scot Harvath to help carry out two of the most dangerous operations in the country's history.
Code-named "Gold Dust" and "Blackbird," they are shrouded in absolute secrecy as either of them, if discovered, will constitute an act of war.
Once again Brad has given us a great read. This book, like most of his others, could be categorized as a horror story. Were these events to play out in reality, it would indeed be a nightmare. What's even more scary is the plausibility of something like this happening. Act of War is another hit from Brad Thor. His real world technical knowledge is astounding and really enhances the reading experience.
What gets Act of War and U.S. counterterrorism operative Scott Harvath rolling is an operation with the People's Republic of China known as "Snowdragon." It is constructed on the premise that war between the United States and China is not a possibility or even a probability, but is rather an inevitability. Given that truism, the winner will be the one who dictates the terms of that war. The only issue is when Snowdragon will be launched. By the time the United States gets an inkling as to what will occur, the Chinese already have the two parts of Snowdragon in place: one in the United States, the other in North Korea.
The narrative accordingly proceeds along two tracks. On one, a four-man reconnaissance team infiltrates North Korea in order to ascertain the nature and extent of the threat. On the other, Harvath races across the country and around the world following the trail of a terrorist recruiter and the six engineering students he has sent from the Middle East to the United States for what is certain to be a nefarious purpose. Thor lets the reader stay a bit ahead of Harvath on the curve, which ratchets up the already agonizing level of suspense just a bit higher.
In order to triumph, Harvath can follow the rules of engagement only so far before he is forced to tear up the book and act in the moment. And while, in the past, this course of attack has worked for Harvath and the country he has sworn to protect and defend, the Chinese plan may be too well-thought-out and too far along in its execution for even Harvath to prevent its success.
Great read and captivating story. Love the main character in the book, Scott and his close circle. The other characters in this book are equally interesting.
