Atheism's anthropological contradiction.
5 comments:
"Some beliefs could be true and useful, but it's hard to tell the difference, since there is no knowledge of reality that isn't mediated by the organs that our genes have given us."ReplyDelete
Jack, I've heard this but think that its weak, in that it seems to start with the individual. If we assume up front that humanity is more about people (pl) partaking of the world together, rather than just individuals (who a la DesCartes, on to Hume, on to Kant seem to struggling with their own existence and that of others) would it not seem strange if all of us were suffering from the same useful delusions? I think so.
Not that I'm an atheist, but Plantiga's argument strikes me as weak for this reason.
What do you think?
By the way, I loved the stuff on predestination. Thanks,
That's an interesting point, although I would argue that from an evolutionary standpoint, you would, in fact, expect everyone to have the same delusion. The reason they have the delusion in the first place is that it is (or whatever reason) useful to survival and reproduction. Therefore, eventually you would expect everyone to share the delusion because those without it would have died off. Just my 2 cents.
Nathan- I appreciate your concerns. But yes, I agree with Bethany that it would be logical that we would all have the same useful delusions if they helped us survive.ReplyDelete
Bethany, Jack,ReplyDelete
I think that what you are saying on a surface "it's logical" kind-of-level, but what hurts the argument is that it does not really mesh at all with our very human, common sense experience of the evidence on the ground – and therefore, I would argue, our notions of natural law. In other words, it's the kind of argument only a Romans 1-denying Reformed epistemologist could appreciate.
I also think that it is very counterintuitive, to say the least. Would we not expect that having an accurate idea of what reality is like would lead to greater chances of survival, i.e. knowledge is power? It seems to me that I can learn from experience not to stick my hand in fire, but it does me well if I trust the wisdom of others when they tell me either of their personal experience or about the general collective experiential wisdom regarding this matter, hence saving myself some trouble.
Plantiga says that those who deny a Creator can only assume that evolution has outfitted humans with the capacity to know, to discern the really real. Logical and fair enough. Evolution may just as well have inculcated a propensity for self-deception as a survival mechanism, he points out, going on to say that it could all be self-deception because sometimes people, in performing surviving behavior in the world, may effectively do so from false beliefs (namely, false beliefs can be just as effective as true ones). The example he gives is that of a man running from a tiger: the man runs away from the tiger (which is good - he will live), but he does so for a variety of different reasons (which in his talk are quite funny: http://www.sbts.edu/media/audio/Norton/20071025plantinga.mp3).
First of all, I think his example, though funny, is also rather ridiculous, right of up there with questioning whether or not I or my neighbor exists. I wonder what kind of other self-deception mechanisms Plantiga has in mind (stg a little bit more compelling I hope). At the very least, I don't see why it would need to be binary. Could one not argue compellingly that common sense experience shows us that it is clear that one must know something accurate about the world we inhabit – i.e. we must have at the very least close-to-accurate representations of it – in order for us to live and survive, even if *on occasion*, it might be true that some self-deception (or said better: we produce imperfect maps, or metaphors, or useful fictions for this or that purpose, perhaps knowing full well that they may not be entirely true, but still we still get useful results… [all while being ethical about this of course]) may be a helpful survival mechanism as well?
This seems to better sum up the human experience, I think.
Again, the problem is that there are lots of little things that people consistently agree on - as Plantiga himself says - we have common perceptions of things and events that we basically *all* think map pretty closely with what is really real - and we certainly can't argue that knowledge of these kinds of "collective wisdom experiences" do not have "survival" value. For knowing about the world - what has happened, what is happening, what your options are - have survival value.. So is this mass delusion? Again, it seems to me that Plantiga is trying to get the atheist to doubt common sense realism, natural law, etc... and that's no good. I don't think this is an effective argument, and think that it shows the weaknesses of an evidentially unconcerned and individualistic Reformed epistemology.
I think we should say: yes, knowledge of the world is power, but as Christians we say that we are to obtain this knowledge to serve our neighbor in love…
Alright guys, got time for a rebuttal? Help me out and clear up my muddled thinking! : )

COSTA MESA — Poop is her biggest seller.
To be exact, fake poop is the most popular item year-round. It's sold by the piles, said Sherry Newberg, owner of House of Humor.
The magic, gag gift and costume shop on Baker Street has been a backbone of Costa Mesa festivities for decades. While Newberg has owned the store for 27 years, its history goes back about 50 years with a prior owner, she said.
"[The prior owner] made a lot of money before there were pop-up stores and Party City," Newberg said. "Now with all the pop-up costume stores, stores like this are closing down, and that's not a good thing."
However, Newberg said that she has learned to diversify and be versatile to the changing "seasons" — Halloween, Christmas and then the really fun ones like Mardi Gras, April Fool's Day and whenever a Renaissance fair comes to Orange County.

The Essex Street MarketShare Tweet
One of New York's most endangered cultural landmarks is the Essex Street Market.
In the 1930s, during Mayor Fiorello La Guardia's administration, a number of indoor retail markets were created to reduce pushcart vendor traffic on narrow city streets.
The Essex Street Market on the Lower East Side opened in 1940, with mostly Jewish and Italian vendors, following the demographics of the neighborhood. As the neighborhood changed, so did the Market.
Since then, the presence of the Essex Street Market has remained a constant in an evolving neighborhood. Today it has over 20 tenants, and is filled with various bodegas, restaurants, fruit and vegetable stands, fresh fish stalls, a botanica, cheese shops, and other excellent treats. Because of the recent gentrification of the surrounding area, the Market has had some fancier shops come in too.
Batista Grocery, which has been there for 18 years, and whose tiny aisles are stuffed with hard-to-find Dominican goods is my favorite shop, although Saxelby Cheesemongers and the Porto Rico Importing Co. Coffee run a close second and third (respectively).
Recently, there's been an effort by the community board to move and redesign the Market. Many of the Market's residents have been shutting down and moving out altogether.
If you have the chance, check out the Market while it still exists!

We had beef tenderloin for Christmas dinner here in Michigan. An herb-crusted tenderloin in the oven, cheesy scalloped potatoes and steamed broccoli with the caramel apple cake for desert. Yum.
Tonight we took the leftover tenderloin and combined it with some other things into a pot pie. Chris and I chopped up some potatoes, carrots and celery and sauteed them until they were mostly done. Chris made a roux and added beef stock and cream to get a rich beef gravy. We put the veggies and the meat into a deep dish pie plate, topped it with some frozen peas, poured the gravy on top of that, and then topped the whole thing with the Pastry Queen pot pie crust, which is so user-friendly that even the pie-crust-challenged like me can manage it just fine. Okay... just fine might be a bit of a stretch, I had to take a break in the middle and walk away before I threw the whole mess away, but it's still a super-easy, super flaky and yummy pie crust -- just look at the picture and you can see... I'm just inept at pie crust.
Tomorrow morning we're going to take the leftover meat and veggie mixture and scramble it with some eggs for a hash. Nothing better than using leftovers in creative and yummy ways. :)

FR. PAT McNULTY'S I LIVE NOW, NOT I:
A couple of months ago, I received a little book: I Live Now, Not I, It's by Fr. Patrick McNulty who was born in 1931 and has lived for many years as a full-time member of Madonna House.
Fr. McNulty quotes Gerald Vann, O.P., [from The Pain of Christ and the Sorrow of God]: "Pride will never learn what Christianity means until it has gone down into the darkness, until it is left naked and helpless and without resources and so is thrown back into the arms of God...If we were wise we could learn this for ourselves. But we are stupid; and sometimes God has to force it on our attention..."
Fr. McNulty learned this in what I gather was middle age. He'd lived through the "revolution" of the sixties and seventies, he'd been a priest for many years, he'd had a full, rich--or rich enough--life.
And then he hit a wall.
So Fr. McNulty went to the Sinai Desert and repaired to a cave.
He writes:
"I don't know what I expected to find out there in the Sinai desert in a mountain-cave miles from any other human being, and if at first I was deluded into thinking 'the Lord called me' for great and holy things, that delusion was defunct in less than 48 hours. By then the first wave of terror had swept over me to remind me that here I was in a place where I had no defences at all. I suddenly realized that it was not only my soul I could lose out here but I could also lose my mind as well. Then what?"
Now that is the metaphorical desert of the alcoholic who, after untold, indescribable suffering, has finally realized that he has NO DEFENSE WHATSOEVER against the first drink. And once he has the first drink, all bets are off. The craving kicks in for more, and more, and more, and it's anybody's guess when, or if, he'll stop at anything short of jail, the nuthouse, or the grave.
"A wave of terror swept over me to remind that here I was in a place where I had no defences at all."
That's actually the place of every human being against the powers of darkness; it's just that not every human being has the courage, and/or is more or less forced by circumstance, to face it.
"I suddenly realized that it was not only my soul I could lose out here but I could also lose my mind as well. Then what?"
Read the book and find out!

That's why Fr. Emmerich Vogt, O.P., preaches about the spirituality of the Twelve Steps. He is the only priest I know who does this, and he is wise and funny and brilliant. In case you haven't heard his CDs, here is a link: http://www.12-step-review.orgReplyDelete
Exactly Heather! But I get so tired of failing. And Laraine, I think I listened to Fr Emmerich's cd's every day for a year whenever I was in my car. He's great; I'm a slow learner.ReplyDelete
Slow Learner could be the title of my autobiography...or at least another blog post...ReplyDelete
And yes, I was in touch with Fr. Emmerich a few years ago though have not listened to his CDs. Will try to check them out, thanks so much to both of you...
You are describing the path to holiness. We all have a path, and it almost always involves suffering, but is purifying. The more we see of ourselves, the more we see our sin. This causes suffering, too. It is the path to holiness.ReplyDelete
Yeah Heather we're all in the same boat. Listened to fr pat when I became a friend of Madonna house, he has been there in the pain. Also fr Walter Ciszek in his ordeal . I look forward to the day I let go and Trust . It's good that you can share some of this brokenness . Hope the sun el come out tomoro....ReplyDelete
It can be very frightening, humbling to realize that we can do nothing at all on our own, especially overcome the many lies we are told and have come to accept instead of the One Truth. What a gift that you are able to experience this sense of powerlessness and have a sense of hope with it. Becoming holy and the road to sainthood does not allow people to remain sissies for long. Knowing how prevalent alcoholism is and dealing with the effects of it in my family have also taught me the power of the Twelve Step Program and the necessity of people who are pulling for us in addition to a perfect, loving Father to guide us.ReplyDelete
I went to college in a town where there was a Madonna House, and I went to visit a few times, and often saw the women who lived there at local parishes and events. I think you'll enjoy your time there. I'd like to make a poustinia someday, but I haven't yet.
Thanks for sharing your story and your wisdom as you grapple with the challenges of living out the Catholic faith.Replies
You can always can always make a poustinia at home in a quiet room !Delete
Denis, I would if I could. I so desperately need one. My husband has been out of work since Labor Day, so here's home doing job search stuff, and they're working on the roof of our building and our kitchen ceiling has been leaking, so I have a hard time managing even to get a few hours of quiet in our two bedroom apartment.Delete
So much truth in what you say, Heather! I have also experienced so many frustrations when I think that I have "conquered" a weakness, an attitude... and I am feeling good and then... I fall again. But, fortunately, in those moments I remember that it is the sick that needs God, that God is my merciful "doctor" that heals me gradually with trust and love.ReplyDelete

Last but not least– the "CLUB"! Yes we do owe to them a bit of gratitude because without them we would not exist as a team. Thank you Club!
You can donate to the Club Here:
Why should I donate to the club? Will it benefit our Team? Well, here's our Q/A on this topic…
1. If I contribute to the Club in the name of the 99 team, what do these funds do?
If you make a donation to the Club in the name of our Team, the club will pay for our 'team related' expenses with those funds. If donations to the Club exceed expenses incurred for playoffs, then the money will become part of the general fund.
2. Is this contribution tax deductible?
According to Barrack Obama, Tim Geitner and even Joe what's his name — YES! The Club is a 501(3)C… and therefore a tax deductible contribution. Remember these funds will only pay for expenses incurred by the club, i.e. tournament fees, coaches travel, etc. etc.
3. Why would I consider making a contribution to the Club?
Well, there are a ton of reasons, but I will cover just a few. 1) If you require your contribution to be Tax Deductible, then donate to the club in our name; 2) You may want to contribute directly to the Soccer Club to support and promote future development in the years to come! 3) You have a hunch that the girls are going to zoom through regionals and next stop "Nationals!!" but need the tax deduction.
4. What portion of the money is not benefiting the team/Club at all?
The only portion of your contribution if made through paypal that does not reach your intended recipient is the 2.9% +.30 per transaction fee. So about 3% of your contribution goes to fees. It may seem high, but it was the easiest way we could set this up fast and have a built in accounting system, etc. etc. If you have other suggestions, feel free to send us a message.
5. Can I just send a check?
What are chances the answer to this one is "no" ………………………? ZIPPO!, Zero, NADA! Sure you can send us a check. Send it to the address below, and our trusty team manager will make sure it gets allocated appropriately.
Here is the address just in case you're "OLD SCHOOL" and overall just like the postal service. We won't discriminate!

February 5, 2013 · Posted in behind the scenes · Comment
Hot 97 managed to capture this awkward confrontation between Joe Budden and Consequence during their cast interviews for this season of Love & Hip Hop. With things heating up on the show, it may become harder for these artists to be interviewed about anything greater than petty reality tv drama.
Love & Hip Hop airs Mondays on VH1. Joe's album No Love Lost is out today.

W. Somerset Maugham Quotes About EffortQuotes about: Effort
Perhaps it would have been possible to see in him a new Prometheus...the hero who for the good of mankind exposes himself to the agonies of the damned...undaunted by failure, by an unceasing effort of courage holding despair at bay, doggedly persistent in the face of self-doubt, which is the artist's bitterest enemy.
The ballet. I saw in the fugitive beauty of a dancer's gesture a symbol of life. It was achieved at the cost of unending effort but, with all the forces of gravity against it, a fleeting poise in mid-air, a lovely attitude worthy to be made immortal in a bas-relief, it was lost as soon as it was gained and there remained no more than the memory of an exquisite emotion. So life, lived variously and largely, becomes a work of art only when brought to its beautiful conclusion and is reduced to nothingness in the moment when it arrives at perfection.

Say this about Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman: She'll never be accused of being a waffling politician who can't pick a side. We saw this firsthand during a September 18 town hall meeting at Rogich Middle School to discuss the viability of a $200 million, 24,000-seat Downtown stadium proposal that would house a Major League Soccer expansion team.
At one point during the meeting—one of six held around the Valley this month seeking public input on a partnership between the city and a pair of would-be stadium developers—Goodman went on a rambling 15-minute tirade. While comparing the importance of the soccer stadium to public safety and health care, she spotted a man in the audience shaking his head in disagreement. "It really ticks me off that you sit there with your sourpuss," Goodman scolded him. "What did you do to build this community? What have you put into this community to make it a better place?"
Goodman then proceeded to accuse the County Commission of trying to kill the project; told the audience "you have all been privy to documents you had no right to be privy to" in reference to proposal drafts; said the current proposal is the only viable option ("Whenever you're told there's another game, it's a bunch of hookie-pookie"); mentioned her and her husband's "eight granddogs"; and even veered to ISIS' activities in Australia.
The mayor only stopped when city spokesman David Riggleman finally cut her off.
On October 1, the City Council will vote on a nonbinding stadium proposal between the City and the development team of the Cordish Cos. and Findlay Sports & Entertainment. The plan calls for Cordish/Findlay to contribute $44.25 million to construct the $200 million stadium, with the City providing the remaining $155.75 million, including $115 million in city bonds. Cordish/Findlay is also committed to spending $102 million for the expansion team. Under the proposal, the City would own the stadium, and Cordish/Findlay would repay 59 percent of the stadium costs after 30 years through $3.5 million in annual rent payments. The City would pay its share of the project through bonds, tourism district money and hotel room charges.
After Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian expressed her desire to get more feedback from her constituents on September 3, the City Council voted 4-3 to table its decision on the proposal to October 1. Council members Goodman, Steve Ross and Ricki Barlow have supported the tentative agreement and voted for the delay, while Councilmen Bob Beers, Bob Coffin and Stavros Anthony have stated they are against the deal, criticizing the amount of public money being used.
Tarkanian said as recently as September 18 that she would reject the proposed financing plan if the vote were held that day. Even if Tarkanian does change her mind by October 1, the odds of the plan reaching fruition appear slim, as the deal would go before the City Council for a final vote in December, when a supermajority of five votes would be necessary for passage because of the city issuing bonds.
Justin Findlay, managing partner of Findlay Sports, is attending all the town hall meetings in hopes that he can persuade the public to support the proposal. He sat quietly during Goodman's rant, but praised the mayor afterward for her passion for the project.
"I would hope that Las Vegas sees this as an investment," Findlay says. "Yes, it's a lot money, and it's an important decision, and it can be spent in different areas. But it's not going to be matched like this. This really could be a huge community asset."
MLS wants to expand to 24 teams by 2020, and Las Vegas is competing against at least five other cities for the final spot. A study projects the average attendance for a Las Vegas MLS team at 18,000-20,000 per game, drawing largely from a demographic base of millennials, Latinos and international tourists.
If the council denies the proposal, Findlay says there's a chance that a revised plan can be drafted, although he isn't looking past the October 1 vote. He is hopeful that the final town hall meeting, scheduled for September 25 in Tarkanian's ward, will help him secure the swing vote he needs to move forward with the proposal.
"[Tarkanian is] saying a lot of positive things," Findlay says. "She just wants to hear from her constituents, and I wouldn't expect anything to change until she hears from them. … Councilwoman Tarkanian has a very open mind, and that's all we can hope for."

Ever been curious about a product but been hesitant to try it? I am thinking about making a new segment on friday about products I have tried and what I think about them. This Friday is dedicated to my all the random things I have tried at Trader Joe's. Hope it helps :)
1. Chunky Spicy Guac. Nothing beats fresh guac but this is pretty good for the store bought kind if you dont have time to make your own or you need a quick snack.
2.100 Calorie Dark Chocolate Bars. Pure Genius.Pretty good dark chocolate in snack size bites. This has been permanently added to my snack drawer at work.
3. Sea Salt & Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds. I love the whole Salty+Sweet combo, but these were just to salty for me...however my aunt loved these.
4. Grilled Pesto and Chicken Wrap: I got this because of the "cashew walnut pesto vinaigrette." This was just meh, I could take it or leave it. Don't regret eating it but probably wouldn't get it again.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!


text: I know that there are tons of burger discussions on this board, but I thought I'd try a new question. My husband and I have been vegetarian (sometimes fish) for the last two years. I'm about five months pregnant, and have been craving red meat. Food poisoning is extra risky for pregnant ladies, so I'd love to find beef (a burger would be great) that's locally sourced, organic, or somehow just a little healthier and safer than your usual fare. Any suggestions?

[off topic] Driving Principles of Programming: Ignorance
Well, I have already talked a bit about laziness and egoism, but now time have come to mention - after all - the last (as I count them) third principle: ignorance.
I was pitched to write this after whole week of meetings with two engineers, whose many questions may be rephrased as "what if sky falls down?" After several days I was ready to scream "As heck I care!!!" (and this is really polite form of what I actually wanted to say.)
I have a function to do task A. WTF shall I care here about B, C and D??? Some people just do not get it.
IGNORANCE. The ignorance which is bliss. As programming concerned, ignorance allows programmer to concentrate on particular task, ignoring ever-changing environment his program is ought to work in. Otherwise, if one would try to track all new requirements and developments, his/her attention would be diverted from original task. End result? Task would be always in half finished state.
Egoism and ignorance are very similar. Egoism tells us to ignore other's opinion (a.k.a. critics). Ignorance tells us to ignore other's problems (a.k.a. new requirements).
Like with other two principles, all is good in moderation. Pushing any of the principles to the limit of course goes against the laziness principle. And being too lazy would mean that you are not egoistic. And being too egoistic would mean that you can't ignore yourself. You see now? That's vicious circle of software development. ;)
P.S. How to use ignorance in practice. Ignorance normally results in task-oriented applications. You do not try to do everything - since you ignore everything - but concentrate on precisely the task/job you want to accomplish. Often such applications might look as hairy agglutinations of functions - and they are really functional and do what you want from them. Though lazy guys like I am would find them short on ergonomics ^_^

What is nuclear medicine?
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses radioactive tracers (radiopharmaceuticals) to assess bodily functions and to diagnose and treat disease. Specially designed cameras allow doctors to track the path of these radioactive tracers. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography or SPECT and Positron Emission Tomography or PET scans are the two most common imaging modalities in nuclear medicine.
What are radioactive tracers?
Radioactive tracers are made up of carrier molecules that are bonded tightly to a radioactive atom. These carrier molecules vary greatly depending on the purpose of the scan. Some tracers employ molecules that interact with a specific protein or sugar in the body and can even employ the patient's own cells. For example, in cases where doctors need to know the exact source of intestinal bleeding, they may radiolabel (add radioactive atoms) to a sample of red blood cells taken from the patient. They then reinject the blood and use a SPECT scan to follow the path of the blood in the patient. Any accumulation of radioactivity in the intestines informs doctors of where the problem lies.
For most diagnostic studies in nuclear medicine, the radioactive tracer is administered to a patient by intravenous injection. However a radioactive tracer may also be administered by inhalation, by oral ingestion, or by direct injection into an organ. The mode of tracer administration will depend on the disease process that is to be studied.
Approved tracers are called radiopharmaceuticals since they must meet FDA's exacting standards for safety and appropriate performance for the approved clinical use. The nuclear medicine physician will select the tracer that will provide the most specific and reliable information for a patient's particular problem. The tracer that is used determines whether the patient receives a SPECT or PET scan.
What is Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT)?
SPECT imaging instruments provide three-dimensional (tomographic) images of the distribution of radioactive tracer molecules that have been introduced into the patient's body. The 3D images are computer generated from a large number of projection images of the body recorded at different angles. SPECT imagers have gamma camera detectors that can detect the gamma ray emissions from the tracers that have been injected into the patient. Gamma rays are a form of light that moves at a different wavelength than visible light. The cameras are mounted on a rotating gantry that allows the detectors to be moved in a tight circle around a patient who is lying motionless on a pallet.
What is Positron Emission Tomography (PET)?
PET scans also use radiopharmaceuticals to create three-dimensional images. The main difference between SPECT and PET scans is the type of radiotracers used. While SPECT scans measure gamma rays, the decay of the radiotracers used with PET scans produce small particles called positrons. A positron is a particle with roughly the same mass as an electron but oppositely charged. These react with electrons in the body and when these two particles combine they annihilate each other. This annihilation produces a small amount of energy in the form of two photons that shoot off in opposite directions. The detectors in the PET scanner measure these photons and use this information to create images of internal organs.
What are nuclear medicine scans used for?
SPECT scans are primarily used to diagnose and track the progression of heart disease, such as blocked coronary arteries. There are also radiotracers to detect disorders in bone, gall bladder disease and intestinal bleeding. SPECT agents have recently become available for aiding in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in the brain, and distinguishing this malady from other anatomically-related movement disorders and dementias.
The major purpose of PET scans is to detect cancer and monitor its progression, response to treatment, and to detect metastases. Glucose utilization depends on the intensity of cellular and tissue activity so it is greatly increased in rapidly dividing cancer cells. In fact, the degree of aggressiveness for most cancers is roughly paralleled by their rate of glucose utilization. In the last 15 years, slightly modified radiolabeled glucose molecules (F-18 labeled deoxyglucose or FDG) have been shown to be the best available tracer for detecting cancer and its metastatic spread in the body.
A combination instrument that produces both PET and CT scans of the same body regions in one examination (PET/CT scanner) has become the primary imaging tool for the staging of most cancers worldwide.
Recently, a PET probe was approved by the FDA to aid in the accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, which previously could be diagnosed with accuracy only after a patient's death. In the absence of this PET imaging test, Alzheimer's disease can be difficult to distinguish from vascular dementia or other forms of dementia that affect older people.
Are there risks?
The total radiation dose conferred to patients by the majority of radiopharmaceuticals used in diagnostic nuclear medicine studies is no more than what is conferred during routine chest x-rays or CT exams. There are legitimate concerns about possible cancer induction even by low levels of radiation exposure from cumulative medical imaging examinations, but this risk is accepted to be quite small in contrast to the expected benefit derived from a medically needed diagnostic imaging study.
Like radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians are strongly committed to keeping radiation exposure to patients as low as possible, giving the least amount of radiotracer needed to provide a diagnostically useful examination.
How are NIBIB-funded researchers advancing nuclear medicine?
Research in nuclear medicine involves developing new radio tracers as well as technologies that will help physicians produce clearer pictures.

New York, NY: New York City (NYC) Mayor Michael Bloomberg intends to restrict sugary soft drink sales to less than 16 ounce servings at city restaurants, movie theaters and stadiums.
NYC street vendors met with the mayor over concerns that the proposed restriction applies to their food businesses being classified as a restaurant. Rumors pertaining to restricting portion sizes, e.g. one hot dog per transaction were also discussed. The mayor was noncommittal in both instances.
NYC street vendors operate out of both food trucks and food carts. They sell frankfurters (hot dogs, corn dogs, chili dogs), sweet potatoes, chestnuts, pizza, falafel, gyros, kebobs, tortilla based snacks (tacos, burritos), Panini, crêpes, French fries, egg rolls, pretzels, ice cream, gourmet meals and soft drinks.
NYC street vendors have subsequently initiated a Starve Wall Street movement to deprive stockbroker lunch crowds of vittles in Manhattan's Financial District. This strike could bring Wall Street to a screeching halt, which the Occupy Wall Street protesters' couldn't do.
A NYC street vendor spokesperson indicated the food-out will last until the mayor exempts street vendor food sales from any restrictions.

Sweet Morning Dew Tea
Sweet scent and taste given by nature
hydrangea leaf is natural sweetness that doesn't fatten the people
Nature cares for people to taste various things.
There are many oriental teas to enjoy sweetness without any concern,
but there are reasons why IDO has chosen hydrangea leaf.
Compare with before, there are more people to reduce blood sugar now.
Furthermore, hydrangea leaf has anti-bacterial effect within oral cavity area
with great antioxidant effect, which makes this ingredient even more attractive.
It has fresh and sweet feeling like dew of dawn rolls on the blade of grass,
when we drink. Hydrangea leaf's sweetness increases through active enzyme process.
1. After Grinding The Hydrangea Leaf
We collect and use only the naturally grown hydrangea leaf of higher grounds of Gangwon Province. All the leaves are collected one by one with hands, washing them repeatedly and cut into appropriate sizes.
Hydrangea leaf is sweeter and softer because it has process of fixation and rubbing right after when it gets collected.
2. After fermenting the hydrangea leaf
Repeating the steaming and drying process, than applies microorganism, than it goes through scientific and hygienic fermentation process.
In the fermentation process, it's scent is marvelous, the natural process of microorganism's vitality, temperature and moistures perfect harmony.
By dissolving hydrangea leaf's cell elements and microorganism's enzyme process, it's raw taste is reduced and sweetness is increased which makes better to drink.
3. Fermented hydrangea leaf after aging and far-infrared ray pan firing is done.
Fermented hydrangea leaf tea is made with fermented hydrangea leaf that is re-aged and well pan fired with far-infrared ray.
The secret of deep taste and scent, just with 1 gram of product.
We put so much hard effort and clean procedures, hydrangea leaf's positive sides are emphasized, softer, more mature fermented tea with elegance is produced.
We use hydrangea leaf, also known as sweet dew that grows naturally in Gangwon Province's clean mountain area. It is a non-sweet sweet source, which has high oral cavity anti-bacterial, antioxidant effect, just like xylitol, as natural sweetness, it has very sweet and clean taste, which made it called as sweet morning dew tea.Since it is sweet yet doesn't get absorbed, you can drink without worrying to be fat. And according to the research, it has good effects on throat.
It is different kind from commonly grown at home hydrangea leaf so it is necessary to check if it is scientifically correct hydrangea leaf before drinking.
You can use for multi reasons for sweetening instead of using sugar. Children enjoys it too when its mixed with other types of tea.
We collect hydrangea leaf one by one with hands, dry, ferment and age them.
Hydrangea Leaf 100% (Korean)
Hydrangea leaf is also called as sweet dew.
This hydrangea leaf different plant from what we grow in home for an ornamental plant,it is naturally growing hydrangea leaf in the mountains of Gangwon Province.
It's sweetness is almost hundreds times of sugar although it is non-sugar source of sugar. And phyllodulcin component does not absorbed as calories for human body, which is known for its anti bacterial effect in mouth.
Hydrangea leaf is natural sweetener that draws attention as functional ingredient.
When IDO uses hydrangea leaf as tea ingredient, we collect them one by one with hands, and uses only leaves that went through short enzyme process and pan fried with far-infrared ray. Because it is when it has the most highest hormonal components.
Hydrangea leaf is the great ingredient that makes tea sweet and attractive.
Ways to Enjoy IDO's Fermented Tea
1. Put 1 gram of tea product in filtered tea pot and brew more than a minute with hot water (80 ~90℃) 300ml (Use the measuring spoon in the package, put 1 small scoop)
2. Can use coffee maker to brew
3. During summer, you can serve chilled
4. Like water, drink all day through
5. Can be enjoyed by children (no caffeine)

Nation Moves from Terror to Prayer
Americans moved quickly from shock and terror to prayer after suicidal terrorists used hijacked passenger planes to demolish the twin towers of the World Trade Center and a large section of the Pentagon. On Sept. 16 worshippers packed St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington for special Masses. Throughout the country churches reported overflow crowds at Sunday liturgies.
Pope John Paul II, who rarely speaks more than once or twice about any tragedy, spoke out immediately and repeatedly against the inhuman terrorist attacks and offered his prayers for the victims. Even as he condemned the violence, he urged Americans not to resort to revenge. In messages read at Masses in New York and Washington on Sept. 16, the pope said, To all I solemnly repeat the Gospel injunction not to be conquered by evil, but to conquer evil with good.
In Washington, five cardinals and 31 bishops attending the administrative committee meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops suspended business to join Cardinal McCarrick in a midday Mass at the National Shrine. In a statement mourning the victims of the tragedy, the gathering of bishops also prayed for those whose hatred has become so great that they are willing to engage in crimes against our common humanity. The bishops also appealed to Americans to turn away from the bitter fruits of the kind of hatred which is the source of this tragedy. Especially, they added, let us not engage in ethnic, religious or national stereotyping for what may be the acts of a few irrational terrorists.
In a joint statement on Sept. 14, top U.S. Catholic and Muslim leaders engaged in interreligious dialogue warned against sinking to the mentality and immorality of the perpetrators of Tuesday's crimes. Despite such pleas, several U.S. mosques and Islamic centers were attacked, and a number of Americans of Middle Eastern and South Asian descent faced violence or threats of violence. Within the first four days after the attacks, the Council on American-Islamic Relations reported more than 200 such incidents.
Among charitable aid agencies that quickly geared up for the long recovery and assistance to thousands of families affected by the disaster was Catholic Charities USA, the agency commissioned by the U.S. bishops to represent the Catholic community in such situations. The agency invited people to contribute by phone at (800) 919-9338, over the Internet at www.catholiccharitiesusa.org or by mail to Catholic Charities USA, P.O. Box 25168, Alexandria, VA 22313-9788.
Muslim Theologians Say Attacks Cannot Be Justified Under Islam
Muslim theologians have vigorously rejected suggestions that terrorist attacks on the United States could be defended under Islamic teaching and insisted that Islam stresses peaceful coexistence among religions. In Egypt, Grand Sheik Mohammed Sayyid Tantawi of al-Azhar University, who is seen as Sunni Islam's highest religious authority, strongly condemned the attacks. The killing of innocent people is a despicable and heinous act that is not accepted by religion or human sensibility, he said. Such terrorism should be condemned, whatever the source, he said.
To kill not only yourself, but also innocent people going about the normal business of their lives, cannot be justified from any theological viewpoint, said Imam Abduljalil Sajid, Britain's best-known Muslim theologian. No scholar from any Islamic tradition could cite any text to claim such actions are permissible, he said.
Ratzinger Says Catholics Focus Too Much on Power
Even after 2,000 years, Jesus' modern-day disciples are still arguing over who comes first and who should have power instead of focusing on promoting holiness, said Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. If he [Jesus] came among us today and asked us what we were talking about, we would have to blush and fall silent like the disciples in the Gospel, said the cardinal, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Cardinal Ratzinger told the pastoral convention of the Diocese of Aversa, Italy, that too often ecclesiologythe theology of the churchgets so bogged down in questions of structure that the purpose of the church is overlooked.
Church Report Urges Culture of Vigilance' to Protect Children
The final version of a report commissioned by the English and Welsh bishops urges a culture of vigilance in the Catholic Church to prevent the sexual abuse of children. This is a very practical report that requires vigorous action, said Lord Nolan, a judge and member of the British House of Lords who chaired the commission. Our overriding aim has been to create a secure environment for children. Our approach has been to identify the best child protection practice, and, wherever possible, to apply it to the policies and procedures of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, he said. Child abuse is a great evil, and we believe that the church should be an example of excellence in rooting it out, he added.
Priest Says Extremists Threaten Christians if Pakistan Helps U.S.
Islamic fundamentalists in Pakistan have threatened to attack Christian churches if their government assists the United States in its search for Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden, said the director of the Pakistani bishops' human rights office. The Rev. Khalid Rashid Asi, the director, said fundamentalist groups have issued a warning to Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf that if he allows the United States to use Pakistani air space or allows U.S. ground troops to attack Afghanistan from Pakistan, the fundamentalists will attack Christian churches and buildings.
Vatican: Stop Courses Preparing Women to Be Deacons
Courses that directly or indirectly appear to be preparing women for ordination as Catholic deacons must be discontinued, said a statement from three Vatican congregations. Because the Catholic Church does not foresee the possibility of ordaining women deacons, it is not licit to undertake initiatives which, in some way, aim at preparing female candidates for diaconal ordination, said the statement of Sept. 17. The prefects of the congregations for the Doctrine of the Faith, for Divine Worship and the Sacraments and for the Clergy signed the notification after it was approved by Pope John Paul II.
Particularly in Germany and Austria, courses have been organized to prepare women for possible future ordination as deacons and, eventually, as priests. The three-year programs are offered to women who already have completed theological studies. Although Pope John Paul has said the church cannot ordain women to the priesthood, the Vatican has not definitively ruled out the possibility of women deacons. But over the past five years the International Theological Commission and various Vatican congregations have discussed the issue and appear to be building a consensus that the deaconesses mentioned in the New Testament were not ordained as male deacons were.
Ratzinger: Church Government Could Be Decentralized
While the papacy is an essential element of the Catholic Church, there are many possible ways to decentralize governing functions in the church, said Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation. Undoubtedly, regional forums which take on even some of the functions until now carried out by Rome are necessary, the cardinal said in God and the World, a book-length interview with journalist Peter Seewald published in German and Italian. Retired Archbishop [John R.] Quinn of San Francisco has vigorously argued for the need for decentralization, the cardinal said. Certainly, much could be done in this area. Regional and continental gatherings of bishops may be one of the most important and effective means of decentralizing the government of the church, he said, as long as they maintain a degree of informality and do not degenerate in a bureaucratic way and do not open the way to the domination of functionaries.
Guatemalans Fight Malnutrition, Famine After Summer Drought
Antonia Ramírez crosses thin, lesion-covered arms over her pregnant belly. Suffering from malnutrition, she has spent 20 days in a church-run clinic, fed by doctors in hopes of saving herself and the baby inside her bony body. We lost our entire corn crop when the rains didn't come, and we've just been eating bits of tortilla, said the Chorti Indian in the Jocotan clinic, 140 miles from Guatemala City in northeastern Chiquimula province. As she spoke, swollen-bellied, thin-limbed toddlers cried beside her on the floor. In what officials call the worst disaster since Hurricane Mitch in 1998, a summer drought destroyed crops across Central America and left thousands of farmers awash in debt and famine.
K. of C. Gives $1 Million for Families of Rescue Workers
The Knights of Columbus announced on Sept. 13a $1=million heroes fund for families of firefighters, law enforcement and emergency medical personnel killed in the line of duty at the World Trade Center and Pentagon disasters. Families of those brave men and women will each receive $3,000 from the Knights of Columbus in recognition of the ultimate sacrifice made by their loved ones, said Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson. He also said the knights' educational trust fund would offer full scholarships at any Catholic college or university to all the children of Knights who were in the military [or were] full-time law enforcement officers or full-time firemen killed or permanently disabled in New York or Washington as a result of this criminal action.

Advertising on Apache Junction municipal vehicles: Are residents for it or against it, or do they have questions about the revenue-generating program they'd like to have answered?
In an effort to learn how residents feel about this, the city of Apache Junction is working on a public information campaign to identify how to best communicate the program goals and guidelines, who might have the greatest concerns and how to go about disseminating the information and gather responses, according to a presentation made to the council during its Dec. 15 work session by Roger Hacker, the city's revenue resources manager.
"…it's important to get accurate information out to our stakeholders," Mr. Hacker told the council, according to a video of the meeting on the city's website.
The vehicular advertising program was begun under the city's Corporate Partnership Program in 2013 as a way of exploring potential new revenue sources, according to a memo from Mr. Hacker to the council.
During subsequent meetings in April, May and June of this year, the council reviewed additional information about the program. Included in the discussions were restrictions by the council regarding the types of vehicles on which the advertising could be sold and the content of that advertising, according to the memo.
Among those restrictions were that advertising could not be sold on public safety vehicles and the ads could not be for alcoholic beverages targeted for under-aged youths; tobacco products; guns or weapons; or sexually oriented businesses, according to the memo (see story Vehicular advertising FAQs below).
According to a public information campaign developed by Mr. Hacker, city officials planned to meet the week of Jan. 8 to identify individuals or groups that they would like informed about the program, identify community meetings to attend and identify news media outlets to contact about the program, according to a campaign timeline Mr. Hacker e-mailed the Apache Junction/Gold Canyon Independent.
During the week of Jan. 12, Mr. Hacker and Constance Halonen-Wilson, the city's public information and marketing communications specialist, would develop a press release and work with the city's webmaster to develop an online marketing page, according to the timeline. Mr. Hacker and Ms. Halonen-Wilson would then meet with city officials to identify key people and organizations in the community to address, according to the timeline.
If approved, the advertising would be sold by the firm Public Safety Advertising, according to the FAQs. Company CEO Chad Dragos already is contemplating potential advertisers, he said during a phone interview in December. Mr. Dragos also handles advertising sales for Superstition Fire and Medical District, he said. SFMD is looking for new advertisers or to renew its contract with Mountain Vista Medical Center, 1301 S. Crismon Road in Mesa, which expired last year, he said.
The medical facility paid about $90,000 for a one-year agreement that included multiple ads on six SFMD vehicles, Mr. Dragos said.
Potential clients for the city and fire district vehicular advertising include local businesses, typically those that are active in the Apache Junction Chamber of Commerce, he said.
Last month, the chamber distributed a flier from Mr. Dragos to solicit advertising for the SFMD vehicles. It was part of the chamber's weekly e-mail that distributes news from its members. The Independent is a chamber member and receives the weekly e-mails.
The council tasked Mr. Hacker to research what the advertising would cost and what the impact of advertising would be, Councilman Chip Wilson said during a phone interview last month.
Mr. Wilson said during a phone interview Jan. 8 that he would like to know more about the financial impact of the advertising, such as how much it could cost the city and how much revenue would be generated.
He also said he would like to prevent the city from appearing to promote or endorse the categories of businesses that might advertise on the vehicles.
In addition, he prefers the city not allow any one business to monopolize the advertising spaces by purchasing all the spaces on all the municipal vehicles, he said.
Mr. Hacker expects to report the results from the public information campaign to the council sometime in spring, he said during his phone interview.
The Apache Junction City Council typically meets for work sessions at 7 p.m. on the first and third Monday of the month and for regular sessions on the first and third Tuesday of the month at the Apache Junction City Hall, 300 E. Superstition Blvd. The council will not meet Monday, Jan. 19, due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

How to learn more
This list of frequently asked questions, or FAQs, about the city's Vehicular Advertising Program was developed by the city of Apache Junction. It was supplied to the Apache Junction/Gold Canyon Independent by Mr Hacker.
•What is the city proposing to do?
As a way to supplement tax dollars, Apache Junction is selling advertising on 26 of its municipal vehicles. These vehicles were selected because of their total mileage, annual mileage, type of vehicle and available space. No public safety vehicles are included.
•Why is the city doing this?
As is the case with all municipalities, since the start of the 2008 recession revenues have dwindled. All cities have had to do more with less. Services to the public have suffered because of these decreased revenues. Apache Junction is looking at its vehicle advertising program as a way to bring in a new revenue stream to help fund city programs. It is part of the city council's efforts to find creative solutions to the situations facing the city.
•What will happen with the money?
The funds will be used to pay for services and costs that normally have been paid for with tax dollars. As example, funds from this program could help to pay for the operation of the city's fleet of vehicles, help to make improvements to the city's roadway system or help to care for the cats and dogs at the city's animal shelter.
•How does this benefit me as a tax payer?
Simply put, costs that have been traditionally paid for with tax dollars will now be paid for with funds generated by advertising on city vehicles.
•What types of ads will be accepted?
In June 2014, the city council identified those types of businesses that would be excluded from the city's corporate partnership program. These industries include the following: alcoholic beverages when the targeted beneficiaries of the partnership are youth under the state's legal drinking age; tobacco products; sexually oriented businesses or activities as defined in the Apache Junction City Code; guns or other weapons (including brands and distributors); and political candidates, campaigns and other non-commercial political speech.
Note: The city reserves the right to decline a business partnership in its own discretion to preserve the health, safety and welfare of its residents. However, city will not discriminate based on race, age, gender, national origin, color, religion, familial status or physical disability. Also, the city does have the right to decline a business partnership as long as the decision is related to an important government purpose, such as the protection and preservation of the public's health, safety and welfare.
•Isn't advertising going to make our vehicles look tacky?
Vehicles will not be "plastered" with multiple advertisements. One advertisement will be placed on the rear panel of both the driver's and passenger's sides of the vehicle. Using industry standards, the advertisements will be 11 inches by 40 inches and will be made from acrylic materials produced by the 3M Company. To ensure that the advertisements will reflect well on it, the city is working with the company Public Safety Advertising. PSA specializes in assisting municipal governments and fire districts to secure non-tax dollars through vehicle advertising.
•What sort of revenue could this program generate?
Potential advertisers will be offered a number of packages from which to choose from. Based on the number of vehicles in the package, the type of vehicles and the mileage of vehicles, the projected revenue for the packages varies from $11,400 a year to $59,280 a year.
•How were prices set?
The costs of the packages were suggested by Public Safety Advertising based on current advertising rates for vehicle advertising.
•How will the advertisers be selected?
Working with the city, Public Safety Advertising will release a request for proposal via local and regional media, the city's bid list and social media. Bids will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The process has been designed to allow all interested businesses to participate.
•Will there be a contractual agreement between Public Safety Advertising, the advertiser and the city for advertising?
There will be a three-way contract between the advertiser, PSA and the city of Apache Junction. The contract will run for the length of the advertising on the vehicle. The length of the agreement will be determined by mutual agreement by the advertiser and the city. The contract will be signed by a representative of the city contingent upon approval by the Apache Junction City Council. There will be no expense to the city for PSA's services. PSA works strictly on a commission basis. Simply put, if no ads are sold, no commissions are received. After expenses, approximately 80 percent of the fees charged for the advertising will be returned to the city for its use.
•Won't companies that advertise with the city have an advantage when working with the city?
No. The relationship and contract will be between the business and Public Safety Advertising. The city will treat advertisers in the exact same manner it deals with those not advertising — fairly and openly. Vehicles will include signage that stipulates that the city does not endorse either the product or the company that is being advertised.
•What type of oversight will there be?
The program will be administered by executives from Public Safety Advertising and staff in the city's Revenue Development Program. Both will give periodic updates to the city council.
•How do I get more information about the program? I may want to advertise.
You can contact either Chad Dragos at Public Safety Advertising by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 623-680-8333; or Roger Hacker in the city's Revenue Development Program by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling 480-474-5086.

I Believe ...
Sometimes our deepest desires are the ones that push us to move on and do, and become all we want to in Life.
Sometimes sketching or painting or simply writing down all that I wished to do in Life...
Each day was a challenge, as I surely recovered with Allopathy and Homeopathy medication from my Doctors and a lot of Praanayaam and Meditation. And of course a lot of love and understanding from my Dad and Mom and my Family and the support of my husband, who all in their own wonderful ways stood by me and still do like pillars of strength.
Sometimes, in despair I would cry out in my sleep, for my joints had swollen with fluid and I could not fold my fingers or knees properly. At such moments, I would listen to the Gayatri Mantra and pray for strength from the Almighty God to make me alright again so I could fulfill all my dreams.
I yearned to be a mother, when all my systems had almost halted and my hormones had gone haywire. Traversing and crossing the boundaries of spaces and times, my poems reached out to me and my own soul and helped me move my body engulfed as it was in aches, pains and ailments. Writing and reading books truly set my soul free and helped me recover faster – for here I could explore the written word and even express my innermost thoughts and feelings and simply be.
I Believe ...
The poems in this book, From the Silence Within, were written by me whilst I was bed ridden and 'fighting for life' some time back. Most of them are soul stirring, inspiring and motivating the self. Some poems are funny, a few lyrical and some romantic too. Yet most of them are motivating and dealing with Life in its different shades and hues. I hope these poems move you, touch your soul and spirit as much as I loved writing them, for they eased me from pain and gave me a hope to survive.
On You-Tube:
Thank you so much, Karen Ingalls, whose life and work is so inspiring and who has given me this wonderful opportunity to write a guest blog and share my experiences and about my first book of poems, From the Silence Within.

Great Science Fiction Erotica Topics and Books
Amazon has made Triangulum Stain by Moctezuma Johnson "permafree" so I put in a search on google.com and bing.com for Science Fiction Erotica and got some really great results. Have a look with me.
by Tabatha Austin
I mean that's an amazing title. Pulp Sci-Fi/Erotica. I haven't read it yet, but I plan to and I'll leave a review later on for the sheer awesomeness of title. Sheer awesomeness. And have a look at the cover (on the right).
Triangulum Stain: Attack of the Replicating Alien Dildos (the story of an extraterrestial chemical agent coming to Earth)
by Moctezuma Johnson
I had to include my own book, my own Pulp Sci-Fi/Erotica. This book is comfortable next to the Corn Dildo. My book is about sentient dildos that have plans to subjugate Earth women and take over the world.
by Tabatha Austin
Another great title and cover. It's the sequel of the Corn Dildo from Outer Space, so if you like the first one then give the second one a try.

Weather means more when you have a garden. There's nothing like listening to a shower and thinking how it is soaking in around your green beans.then use it as inspiration to write a poem about weather meaning more. This isn't what I set out to write, but some days I don't get to choose.]
Urban Perspicacity
I live with selfish city-dwellers,
who dream a stream of endless sunny days,
each rainless golden day melting into the next.
I hear the plants whimper with thirst,
and steel myself against their desperation.
I commute to work with urbanites,
who wish away winter and the cold and snow,
and delight in January thaws.
I crave the soft, white, insulating blanket back,
to tuck in around the tender feet of my shrubs.
I work with blinkered pedestrians,
who delight in suddenly unseasonably warm days,
amidst the slow crawl from winter to spring.
I pray the tree buds stay locked tight
against the cold days still to come.
I toil in air-conditioned isolation,
with those who dread umbrellas cluttering the hall,
and wet floors and spots on the newly-washed car.
I smile at the relief of parched plants,
and my mouth waters in anticipation.

I assume most people who read this oh-so-infrequent blog are like me: insatiable readers who, no matter how deep and precariously stacked the to-be-read pile gets, are always looking for more stories.
I'm a binge-reader, a re-reader, and an adventurous reader. Point me toward words you're passionate about, and I'm off to the site or the stacks before you're done describing the new literary love of your life. Anthologies and literary journals/periodicals are brilliant for when I'm not sure what to read next or when I've had a bad run of stories that weren't meant for me. Or when I'm dipping my toe into a genre I haven't widely read before.
Apropos of that, today Fireside Fiction starts their third year. Fireside is a pro-paying market that hosts brilliant fiction (please forget I said that in the next paragraph) that tends toward but isn't exclusively speculative* fiction. It also features glorious art, which this year will be created by Galen Dara.
My flash fiction piece "The Cutting Yield" will be in the opening issue. I'm especially stoked that this year's serial novel was written by Lilith Saintcrow. I'm a huge fan. Last year's serial author, Chuck Wendig, was no slouch either.
*What if?

text: Alright…so one was sent to me by @Aking_CLP. Here are the facts: The beat/instrumentation is wicked as hell. All the changes are dope and it's mastered and mixed beautifully. The actual song is cool, but the video pulls way more weight than the record. Dj Rhiannon…is weird, but bad as fuck…so that's cool. I'm not sure how Clinton Sparks managed to get a feature, but that's cool too. Also…and most importantly…despite the title of this video/record…it never really get's that "nasty". If you like it…cool…if you don't…no harm or foul either way.

Toyota Corporation is planning on establishing a new business unit in the automobile industry. Toyota is looking into the hybrid vehicles versus the standard gas vehicles. Toyota understands the need for vehicles however we are at the mercy of other countries to supply the United States with the amount of gasoline Americans consume. Therefore instead of looking at other ways of obtaining gasoline Toyota has redefined their vehicles to be dependent upon electricity.
Executive Summary
By focusing on Toyota's strengths, its existing and potential customers, and the underlying values its customers need, Toyota has forecast an increase in sales by more than 300,000 vehicles per year, and this is in the sale of hybrids alone. This will enable Toyota to improve the gross margin on sales, cash management, and working capital. Toyota's public relations and marketing plan will lead the way. It renews Toyota's vision and strategic focus: adding value to its target market segments, of young upper income, and professionals, also known as the Y generation.
It also provides the step-by-step plan for improving Toyota's sales, gross margin, and profitability. Toyota is building its business on the assumption that the consumer market is interested in high tech, high performance, environmentally conscience, and fuel efficient cars. Consumers who are not up to date in the latest car technology need to find a quality car maker offering a reliable choice of hybrid cars, service, and support. Toyota seeks to fulfill these needs and become the leader in sales of hybrid automobile world wide.
Toyota provides both hybrid automobiles and services to make them useful to the Y Generation. Toyota is especially focused on providing enough information to targeted consumers through a wide variety of media, including focused public relations, in order to make an informed choice. Ultimately convincing consumers, into...
