Skip to comments.Holder OK'd search warrant for Fox News reporter's private emails, official says
Posted on 05/23/2013 2:56:05 PM PDT by Perdogg
Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on a controversial search warrant that identified Fox News reporter James Rosen as a possible co-conspirator in violations of the Espionage Act and authorized seizure of his private emails, a law enforcement official told NBC News on Thursday.
(Excerpt) Read more at openchannel.nbcnews.com ...
Holder's Memorial weekend vacation looks to be permanent. He resigns tomorrow.
Holder - Committed to defending TERRORISTS worldwide.
Problem is if you get rid of Holder, Deval Patrick becomes the AG.
The House needs to start proceedings to remove Holder from office. Maybe start a House trial for treason.
Man, I would love to see a perp walk of Holder.
Deval won't last long either.
"He resigns tommorow"
Why would this news cause him to resign?
Holder loves real terrorists, the FALN
Okay, so who told Holder to do it?
Workin' it's way up the water spout.....
It's blowing up real good now.
He is did precisely what he was hired for. Watch the Zero's back.
Put HIM on administrative leave
Holder lied to Congress recently, saying he had "recused himself" from the probe.
It's time to impeach the head of the Department of Injustice and Corruption.
Undocumented Tyrant's GunWalking AG (and hero of al Qaeda):
"Of course we took their emails, tax and medical records.
They did not have a Koran."
James Rosen should call for his head.
Fox needs to start suing Obama Admin. Time to stop the Obama polishing and step up.
If FNC does not take action, then they have zero credibility as a news organization
Cheer up! At least Tim Murray doesn't become Gov of Mass.
Fire Him!
If he signed off on it he can't say " I don't recall", right? Get him back before Congress.
Republicans should demand Holders resignation, if that doesn't happen then I would start a campaign that the Obama underlyings are acting on behalf of Obama who hates FOX news and therefore his AG figures they are fair game just like his IRS figures Tea party patriots are Fari game...
He had to admit it as there was evidence...
Wouldn't Massachusetts be without a governor if Deval Patrick became Attorney General? There was a thread about that a day or two ago—apparently the lieutenant governor is stepping down and there is no way to replace him. Besides, there are plenty of other black lawyers in the US so Obama would not have to pick Deval Patrick to be the next AG. That's that woman in California he praised recently for her looks.
In any normal administration he'd be history, but in this one, who knows?
Hillary Clinton would be the dream attorney general for the 0bama regime. When she pounds the table and starts bitching and screaming all the other problems don't seem so bad.
Of course he did
Holder needs to be behind bars. Anything short of this is a travesty.
Am shocked that NBC News is reporting this..absolutely TREASONOUS behavior..this entire Administration makes me sick
Is Rosen Jewish? Inquiring minds are curious....
LOL! Notice that the author is Michael Isikoff. I bet this time he posted the story IMMEDIATELY so as not to be scooped again by Drudge.
They wouldn't have done it without at least tacit approval form Holder and from Hussein.
Wow. This is BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS. It's getting scary. Really scary.
"When she pounds the table and starts bitching..."
I can hardly wait for Hillary in reprising another of her Nikita Kruschchev imitations: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A3TRFH6CR0
The same man who refused to prosecute voter intimidation. He is unfit for office and needs to be in jail.
This rapid fire scandal fest has clinton written all over it. Loving it though......
Hey holder! I know you're reading this. I'm right and you're wrong.
Holder said he recused himself from the AP probe.
Apparently, he wanted FOX all to himself.
He says - she says.
That would be Holder's response.
Patrick would be slightly better, not because his political leanings are any less offensive, but, unlike Holder who is an aggressive Black Panther "Up the Revolution" racist, Patrick is more into just living well at the taxpayers expense.
"Thats that woman in California he praised recently for her looks."
"That Woman would be Kamala Harris, California's current AG, and former DA from San Francisco. She's a "Holder's Person," and she loves queers, so she would fit right in! Our "gain" would be the country's "loss."
Then again, Jerry "the fairy" Brown's wife is a former judge, and since she looks like a man, she'd be o.k. too except that she's not black ( at least I don't think she is but who knows, she IS married to Jerry).
Oh my.
Everybody knows that Fox News is a terrorist organization. Why should he resign?
Something tells me that we're going to get a SERIES Friday evening news dump!

Great Natural oral health product
Posted by NBPT100 on Jun 27, 2013
I have used this product for about a year and my gum health is excellent. It is a cost effective way to help with and avoid gum and gum/tooth line issues. I have shared this with several friends and they have all enjoyed the improvements they have seen in their gum health. This is no substitute for good oral hygiene maintenance but it is an excellent adjunct to what you may already do. It may even prevent some expensive and painful periodontal work down the road. One of my friends is allergic to eucalyptus and can't use this so be aware of the ingredients before you use it. If you found this review of help, kindly visit my iherb home page and read my other value added reviews. By clicking on my handle name above, you will be directed there.
Can be Strong! Each batch seems to be different.
Posted by Specialist on Nov 09, 2011
I like this one is better than the cinnamon flavor because the cinnamon flavor burned my mouth if I used it undiluted. It tastes like the periobrite toothpaste. It's strong and can still be overwhelming when gargling with it. I have found that some batches are overwhelmingly strong and some are just right. I'm not sure why there is such a difference. I'll by it again because I can't find anything better. I just wish they'd get their quality control together so the product is consistant.
Helps prevent mouth ulcers.
Posted by Reviewer2107054 on Feb 13, 2009
I received a sample and was sold. I am on my second bottle in probably 6 months. I only have to use a tiny amount every day or two and I haven't had a canker sore/mouth ulcer since I began using it. Normally I get them 4-5 times a year. It is a great product and I am amazed at how long a bottle can last. Update: I hadn't been for a teeth cleaning in about 3-4 years and my hygienist said my gums were in amazing shape. I swear this is the reason for that. I am buying more and some of the toothpaste as well.
Posted by JoysWorld on Feb 22, 2016
It's good. Not sure I will repurchase based on price. There is another I feel works just as well for a better price
Very good product
Posted by Reviewer2731233 on Apr 08, 2016
I keep reordering...it's a really good product!
Does the job
Posted by 4741627474909656027 on Jun 17, 2016
Different taste feel after using compared to other retail brands. Felt abit oily. Overall, felt clean using it. Suggest not to gargle for more than 3 mins, cos can get 'hot' sensation.
my preferred brand for natural mouthwash
Posted by 5531972548340199818 on Jun 26, 2016
My second time purchasing the coolmint, previously I've purchased the cinnamon flavour of same brand. I think I'll go back to the cinnamon only because I prefer it over mint. I find this particular bottle- solution- not as strong as the other bottles I've previously ordered of same brand. Previously I would dilute a small amount of mouthwash with water and then use but with this bottle, I used it straight (without diluting), I wonder if the formula has changed slightly? I've read past reviews of some people finding the formula too strong. If iherb continue to sell this mouthwash brand, I'll keep buying it because its good value compared with other natural mouthwashes I've tried.
Perio Bright mouth wash

Great mouth wash, all natural too.
Posted by 4958461373771928095 on Aug 30, 2016
I like the taste and a clean mouth feeling effect after
Nice mouthwash

white liberals
Are white liberals getting ready to engage in "electoral racism"?
That's the theory that is being put forward by the Nation's Melissa Harris-Perry.
It's an interesting argument for its ignorance. I'm sorry, that's not very kind, but frankly it's true. Harris-Perry gives a few paragraphs at the beginning of her piece to explaining this "most insidious" of forms of racism – electoral racism. You see, it shows up, apparently, when voters refuse to vote for someone just because of his or her skin color. And she goes to the trouble of talking about Barack Obama's last two elections and what is called "roll off":
One way to determine how many people felt this way is to measure the "roll-off." In presidential election years, a small percentage vote for the president, but then "roll off" by not casting ballots for state and local offices. A substantial increase in roll-off—larger than usual numbers of voters who picked John Kerry or George Bush but declined to choose between Obama and Keyes—would have been a measure of the unwillingness of some to vote for any black candidate. I tested this in 2004 and found no increase, statistical or substantive, in roll-off in Illinois. Faced with two black candidates, white voters were willing to choose one of them.
The 2008 general election was another referendum on old-fashioned electoral racism—this time among Democratic voters. The long primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Obama had the important effect of registering hundreds of thousands of Democrats. By October 2008, it was clear that Obama could lose the general election only if a substantial portion of registered Democrats in key states failed to turn out or chose to cross party lines. For Democrats to abandon their nominee after eight years of Bush could be interpreted only as an act of electoral racism.
Not only did white Democratic voters prove willing to support a black candidate; they overperformed in their repudiation of naked electoral racism, electing Obama with a higher percentage of white votes than either Kerry or Gore earned. No amount of birther backlash can diminish the importance of these two election results. We have not landed on the shores of postracial utopia, but we have solid empirical evidence of a profound and important shift in America's electoral politics.
Got that? In both of the elections, no "roll off" was detected. So it is usually safe to say that if none happened in the elections, racism was probably not a factor, given her theory.
But … and you knew there had to be a "but", now Harris-Perry is very concerned that there will be a form of roll off in the 2012 presidential election. And if Barack Obama doesn't get his due in votes, it is most likely the fact that white liberals have abandoned him that will be the reason.
No, seriously.
The 2012 election may be a test of another form of electoral racism: the tendency of white liberals to hold African-American leaders to a higher standard than their white counterparts. If old-fashioned electoral racism is the absolute unwillingness to vote for a black candidate, then liberal electoral racism is the willingness to abandon a black candidate when he is just as competent as his white predecessors.
Really … that's the reason? A "tendency" of white liberals to hold African-American leaders to a higher standard than their white counterparts? Well there's news. It's also news that he, Obama, is "just as competent as his white predecessors". Yeah, Jimmy Carter – maybe.
This is the the old tried and true race baiter's tactic of whipping the base into line by throwing out the race card. Pure and simple, she's trying to use race as the basis of scaring white liberals, who would rather be called child molesters than racists, back into supporting a black president.
Harris-Perry attempts to use Bill Clinton in her comparison/justification of her claim (hey, wasn't he the first black president?) saying that Clinton was much less impressive in his achievements yet managed to see his support increase in the days before he was re-elected:
In 1996 President Clinton was re-elected with a coalition more robust and a general election result more favorable than his first win. His vote share among women increased from 46 to 53 percent, among blacks from 83 to 84 percent, among independents from 38 to 42 percent, and among whites from 39 to 43 percent.
President Obama has experienced a swift and steep decline in support among white Americans—from 61 percent in 2009 to 33 percent now. I believe much of that decline can be attributed to their disappointment that choosing a black man for president did not prove to be salvific for them or the nation. His record is, at the very least, comparable to that of President Clinton, who was enthusiastically re-elected. The 2012 election is a test of whether Obama will be held to standards never before imposed on an incumbent. If he is, it may be possible to read that result as the triumph of a more subtle form of racism.
Anyone, is Barack Obama's tenure in office "at the least, comparable to that of President Clinton?" Well he is beginning to catch up in the scandal department. But no one really ever considered Clinton a "failed" president. Flawed, certainly. But the word "failed" is what is beginning to be whispered about Barack Obama, even in liberal circles.
I was one of Bill Clinton's harshest critics and frankly I see no comparison between the two. Clinton, despite all of his vices and problems was at least a competent leader. Obama has never once shown comparable leadership skills. And Clinton was a vastly better politician than is Barack Obama.
Instead of racism, could it just be something as simple as all Americans, including white Americans, are disappointed in his performance and are much more likely to compare his performance to Carter's rather than Clinton's? Does it really have more to do with the economy, horribly high unemployment and the failure of this president to do anything meaningful to change that (see Carter)? Clinton had the good fortune of having an up economy in his second run and he was credited with that. Where Harris-Perry would find racism, most Americans see economic misery and the ineffectiveness of the man in the Oval Office to do anything about it.
Whether you believe that the president can significantly effect the economic tides, the president is the one who gets credit or blame depending on the condition of the economy (and they have no problem claiming credit on the positive side, do they?). Oh, and don't forget, Obama promised that if he was given his stimulus package he actually would change the economic tides and hold unemployment under 8%. Three years later, we remain in an economic morass, and the man is trying to get another chance to finally do something?
Is it really racism to drop your support for some politician who promises the moon and then delivers nothing? That's Obama's problem, not his race. I remember very well when the meme or talking point for Democratic politicians as applied to George W. Bush was "incompetent". Barack Obama, in the minds of a number of voters, has redefined the word. Is it really racism to drop your support for an incompetent black politician, or is it a rational decision based on performance or lack thereof.
The key to Harris-Perry's claim is her unsupported conjecture that Obama has been at least as competent as Bill Clinton, and if you disagree with that assessment (and aren't going to support Obama this time) you're a racist.
Same old song, different verse, and just as tired. This time, though, it's being deployed to keep white liberals in line. A nice little twist.
In fact, the most insidious and subtle form of racism is claiming it exists in the face of any number of factors that weigh very heavily against such a presumption. And that's precisely what Harris-Perry engages in here.

Yah, I know its out of season for alot of the people on the boards, and to be honest I haven't had any intention of giving it up (not that its that complicated or top-secret anyways) but I've been pulling recipes for a while now from here and a bevy of other places so I figure I should give back, and what better place than here to do that?
This is the recipe I've developed over the last 2 years since I started with my smoker.
1 Pork Shoulder/Butt, bone in or out, at least 7 lbs, and maybe 8-9 is better IMO.
1 Meat thermometer
The Dry Rub:
50% Dark Brown Sugar (you should "grind" through a metal strainer to make it extra fine)
50% Chili Powder*****
The Sauce:
If you have a pair: Quaker Stakes Buckeye Sauce
If you don't: KC masterpiece original
(I will usually make both for a crowd)
Apple cider vinegar
Cheese cloth
For the smoker:
1 Bag of Jack Daniels oak barrel chips (outdoor world/bass pro or amazon)
****Chili Powder is to be homemade. Don't cheat yourself or this recipe by using generic bullshit.
Buy 2 types of dried chiles, one mild and one hot. I prefer the mild to be New Mexico's and the Hot to be De Arbol. Can be found in most Mexican sections of the grocery store.
You want them to still be somewhat pliable, you do NOT want them to crumble at the touch.
Buy two bag's NM and one bag DA.
Get a trash can and a couple bowls and a pair of scissors. Cut the stems off, split on one side from stem to tip, de seed (yes, remove the seeds, you lazy bastards. The seeds are bitter and change the overall taste) and toss into the bowl. Keep the two types separated.
This is tedious but this powder is going to be versatile if you like heat, so its best to do as much as you can at once so you don't have to do this each time.
When finished, preheat the oven to 225, get some baking sheets, and butterfly the chiles on the baking sheet, keeping the two types on separate sheets or in different batches.
Bake the NM for 5-7 min, it will be different depending on how fresh they are.
Bake the DA for 2-5 min, same deal.
When you finish they will be black and will cool in a matter of seconds. Use a food processor or whatever you've got to mash it all into powder, the finer the better, but it doesn't have to be sugar-fine, it can be somewhat course, somewhere between red pepper flakes and super-fine will work.
Add in some garlic powder, oregano, a little cayenne, some cumin.
But make no mistake your NM and DA will make up 80%+ of the powder, and this is what makes it much, much different from most recipes.
Pull out your shoulder and sit on a cutting board. If it is boneless, you need to take cooking twine and tie it up with 3-5 parallel strings.
Next start your smoker with charcoal and bring to about 250-270 degrees. We want to cook at 225-235, but the soaked chips will lower the temp at the onset.
During that time, soak your chips in warm water. At least 30 min. If you bought something other than chips, you will need to soak for a few hours to overnight depending.
You want to be able to capture the juices that will fall from the pork during the smoke, and I can't tell you how to do it because it will depend on the smoker. Most likely placing a pan with a bit of water below the meat will be fine, but you will need to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't dry up. If you have no way to put a drip pan underneath, you can put the meat in a shallow pan with some water as a last resort.
Now that you have your dry rub and chips and smoker all ready, start applying the rub to the shoulder LIBERALLY. Pack that shit on. If there is a crevice, pack the crevice. All sides should be completely covered.
Insert a meat thermometer to the deepest portion of the meat, if you have bone-in, do not touch the bone with the thermometer.
Next, place fat-side up in the smoker, and immediately toss a heaping handfull of chips onto the charcoal. We are only going to smoke the roast for 2 hours maximum. I usually use 1/2 to 3/4 of one bag of chips. When the smoke stops, add another Handfull, keep the temps above 225.
We are going to cook through til the temp is app 185 (plan on 1 to 1.5 hours per pound), try to pull it right on that temp, and do not go past 190.
Remove from the smoker and place on a fresh cookie sheet and let it sit for 30 minutes before disturbing.
Now, it's time for the sauce.
The Sauce:
At some point I will learn to make mine from scratch, for the time being, these improvised ones can be outstanding IMO.
Put the Buckeye sauce or KC Master into a sauce pan and on the stove at med low.
Take the collected juices from the drip pan and strain through cheese cloth and add to sauce, Ideally you want at least a 1/2 cup per bottle of sauce. Wait until these two have sufficiently blended and then add the vinegar.
Add apple cider vinegar to taste, a good starting point IMO is a 1/4 cup.
Heat and stir often until THOROUGHLY blended.
I like my sauce to be fairly runny when hot. Here are the adjustments you can make to dial it in to taste:
Too hot? Add some brown sugar or water, or both
Too mild? Add chili powder or Drip sauce or both
Not tangy enough? Add more vinegar until it is.
Set the sauce to the side to be scooped and poured onto the pork/pork sandwiches as a topping.
Now go back to your shoulder, remove the fat, and shred along the grain with two forks. Feel free to leave some chunks as well.
Don't throw away the "bark"! the meat with a good chuck of bark is the best stuff!
There you have it, my one prized recipe.

Hunt 6203: CWMU Bull moose
Cedar Canyon
Season dates
9-1-2014 to 10-31-2014
- Nonresident permits: No
- Resident permits: 1
- Total permits: 1
The Wildlife Board establishes timeframes for hunting on CWMUs. Hunters should expect to hunt at least five days within these timeframes
Type: CWMU
Species: Bull moose
Weapon: Any legal weapon
Cedar Canyon
DescriptionThe Cedar Canyon Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) starts above the riparian area of Lost Creek at about 5600 feet. There is a rapid increase in elevation to start with, but it turns into a gentler slope as the unit rises to about 8000 feet along the Morgan-Summit Counties border. Cedar Canyon, Black Hawk Canyon and Hay Hollow all cut this CWMU mostly in an east-west direction creating steep relief. The most common elevation is 6700 feet but ranges from 5400 feet to 8100 feet with an elevation difference of 2700 feet. Fifty percent (50%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 6200 feet and 7300 feet an elevation difference of 1100 feet.
Nearly forty percent (40%) of the Cedar Canyon Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62). Another twenty-five (25%) is Rocky Mountain Aspen Forest and Woodland (22). Another Shrubland that contributes significantly is the Rocky Mountain Gambel Oak-Mixed Montane Shrubland (41). Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48) contributes to the Shrubland character of the Unit. Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple Ravine Woodland (23) and Colorado Plateau Pinyon-Juniper Woodland add to the Forest and Woodland character of the Unit.
One of the Cedar Canyon Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, ECHO DAM (422385), is about 11.7 km north from the north edge of the CWMU. ECHO DAM has sixty-seven (67) years of records, 1940 - 2007. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 3.88 inches, but it can be as high as 10.59 inches or as low as 0.47 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 21 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 11 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 2 days of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 12.1 inches but can be as high as 41.5 inches. FALL temperature at ECHO DAM averages 46.5 degrees F. but can be as high as 97.0 degrees F. or as low as -21.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 54 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 3 days above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

I installed the Lyric in my 1946 Martin 00021 and I am struggling to get a good sound. It works very well for direct reCording but as a pickup for live sound I still have to fiddle with it.
It is apparent that it works very well as an internal mic but it also amplifies every resonance that is inherent of the guitar.
My Martin has a resonance at around 2,5khz that I am not able to dial out with the amps I have. I have noticed this also with my UST and mic combo, but somehow it was not as evident as it is now wih the Lyric.
I changed the position of the Lyric a couple of times:
- under the sadle (on my Martin there is almost no room there for the Lyric as the bridgeplate is there
very close to the bracing and the lyric is fysically stuck between bracings and endpin) : very clear sound but with extreme resonance peaks at around 2,5khz.
- behind the end pins on the bridge plate: same sound but less clear, as if the resonance is now dominating.
- on the top, off the bridgeplate towards the endpin: best result for now, in a way more balanced. Still some correction needed for which I will need a parametric eq probably.
As the direct recorded sound is good, it seems like the sound the Lyric picks up coming back from the amp is an important factor. Logical as this is what also happens when you have a mic in front and run that through a monitor.
Still some stuff to try. I am open to suggestions if another location of the Lyric in this guitar would be an option.

During today's AFC divisional round match up between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots, social media started buzzing about CBS sideline reporter Allie LaForce. The sideline reporters often generate plenty of attention on Twitter during the games, but it isn't always positive.
For LaForce, however, all of the comments made it clear that she has officially become America's new sideline sweetheart.
Of course, everyone was commenting on LaForce's looks and how pleasant she was to the eye, which is no surprise as a former Miss Teen USA 2005, but she was also killing it in her pieces every time CBS shot down to the sidelines for a report.
Watch out, Erin Andrews. There is a new girl in town coming for your crown. Read the full article here.

Being that one of the main tenets of social media is sharing, I thought it was only appropriate that I share part of how we've been talking about social media with various people.*
As I'm sure you have been reading and hearing, there is more and more chatter about looking at people's behaviors within social media, not just the tools and technology. That's the main point of this presentation—focusing on behaviors and what people are doing.
Anyway, for many of you, being as active in this area as you are, I'm sure most of this is just a review. Either way, I'd love to know what you think...
*This is generally the first 1/2 to 1/3 of what we present. The rest is custom/specific to the audience/client.

The Room That Inspires Solange's Amazing Style
The recording artist, style star, and yes, sister of Beyoncé shares how her home helped define her style
It's rare to hear that a fashion star owes their style prowess to a home storage system. But Solange Knowles, recently featured in a much-buzzed-about Harper's Bazaar fashion shoot, wowed us when she reveiled that the source of her expertly put-together ensembles has much to do with the place she stores her clothes. Says Knowles:
"You can pull images of me from seven to 14 years ago and I was absolutely nuts," she says. "I have always been drawn to interesting pieces and colors, but I didn't quite know how to limit myself and make those statement pieces work." That epiphany took one simple thing: having a closet of her own, which she got when [her son] Julez started school in L.A. "I had to stabilize our lives and stay in one place," she says. "It sounds silly, I know, but having space for my clothes made a huge difference. I was able to get organized, free myself of clutter, and develop a style that felt like me."
There you have it: The first step to becoming an international street style star is...to get organized. And make sure you have enough space. We'll be thinking of you, Solange, as we clean out our closets this weekend.
Tell us, what room in your home inspires your style the most?

Palm Beach County is a hotbed for scientific breakthroughs. Here's a look at what's being discovered in some of South Florida's leading research institutes.
Florida Atlantic University (561-297-0777) is taking steps toward treating certain crippling neurological impairments. The university has joined forces with Eco Neurologics Inc., a start-up company headquartered on campus, to develop drugs to treat epilepsy, migraines and stroke. Dr. Ken Dawson-Scully (below), an assistant professor in biological studies, received a $353,000 grant towards the research and will act as the lead scientific consultant.
In 2014, the Obama administration will roll out a $100 million research initiative to develop a comprehensive map of the brain's activity. The project, titled Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies, or BRAIN, has earned the support of the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (561-972-9000), which already employs nine research groups focused on unearthing the mysteries of the brain. In a statement, Dr. David Fitzpatrick (left), the scientific director and CEO of the Jupiter institute, aligned his organization's work with the BRAIN project: "Our mission focuses on the development and implementation of new technologies that allow us to visualize the structure, function and development of the neural circuits. These research efforts are exactly what the BRAIN initiative aims to achieve."
Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute (561-228-2000) in Jupiter are making headlines for their research in anti-addiction medication. Using a grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Paul Kenny is overseeing a study to develop drugs that will help people break their addiction to nicotine. For help developing the drug, the scientists are consulting with a panel of industry experts; the working relationships could eventually lead to a marketable medication.
Though far less common than the scourge of tobacco, diseases caused by misfolded proteins called prions are terrifying ailments, resulting in symptoms such as dementia, personality shifts and hallucinations. A group of Scripps scientists, led by Dr. Corinne Lasmézas (right), has identified a pair of drugs that show promise in the treatment of prion disorders. Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study focused on the drugs tacrolimus and astemizole, which are already approved for human use for other purposes.

More photos: U.S. Department of State's Flickr photostream | State@Work
Today's Photo of the Week comes to us from Sandrine D'Hoedt, who works at the U.S. Mission to the European Union. It sneaks a peek into the control room as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and EU High Representative Catherine Ashton participate in a joint BBC interview in Brussels on October 14, 2010.
The Secretary traveled to Brussels last week as part of a trip that included stops in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Kosovo. In Brussels, she participated in the NATO ministerial and held meetings with European Council President Herman Van Rompuy as well as with High Representative Ashton. You can read another behind-the-scenes account here, and read the full set of remarks from the trip (and view more photos) here.

Krista brought Jane Gross to our attention at our weekly Monday staff meeting as someone who knows aging intimately from the "far shore of caregiving."
This Pulitzer-nominated journalist developed her expertise on caregiving and aging not just vocationally, but through living this experience with her elderly mother in her final years.
She started The New Old Age blog for The New York Times and shared her most joyful moments and unexpected insights from role reversals of "becoming my mother's mother" to learning how to collaborate with her adult sibling. She also has a book called A Bittersweet Season: Caring for Our Aging Parents and Ourselves.
Putting words around end-of-life issues is such a difficult task that, even in our tweets, it became difficult to substitute the words "death," "dying," or "aging" literally when she used demonstratives like "this" and "that" to represent those ideas in conversation.
We live-tweeted highlights of this 90-minute conversation, which we're aggregating and reposting for those who weren't able to follow along. Follow us next time at @BeingTweets:

Have a Heart - Page 4
A common question is whether you can move between zones during your run. The answer depends on your goals. If you're looking to raise your overall LT, then you can employ interval training during which your heart rate will fluctuate significantly. However, if your goal is to stay in a lower zone and build an aerobic base, you want to be a lot more cognizant of staying in your zone. If you charge up a steep trail, you're going to build up your blood lactate levels and will have a very difficult time getting rid of it quickly enough to maintain the workout you intended.
Putting it all together
If you're serious about making performance gains as efficiently as possible, determining your lactate threshold and using the guidelines above is essential. Your buddies may cite the fact that many great athletes don't use this method and perform incredibly using only their own senses as feedback. Sure, some other gifted athletes have genetics that allow them to train much more haphazardly and still outpace the competition, but perhaps they could have gotten to the same place in far less time using more precise heart-rate-training techniques.
A great resource for a detailed explanation of the topic is the Triathlete's Training Bible, by Joe Friel. Also view resources on the subject at www.MadisonTrainer.com, including the recent university research discounting the antiquated maximum-hear-rate equation, as well as a training-zone calculator
Remember that your LT will change as you become more conditioned so you will need to repeat the test periodically to update your training zones. Don't fear: by following the above recommendations you'll be pleased at how quickly you start to burn through the trails and will start to look forward to the LT tests.

There is a lack of appreciation for how important the ocean is in the whole climate system."information about, for example, different parts of the country experiencing increasingly heavy downpours, but recognizing that that plays out much differently from one region to another, ranging from an increase of 9 percent in extreme heavy downpour events in the Southwest to a whopping increase of 67 percent in the Northeast. I think that information that is credible and solidly-grounded in good measurements is very useful for people to see, but I believe it also corresponds to what many people are experiencing, as well. And I sense that we are moving towards increasing recognition of the reality of climate change, and the fact that it is affecting the things that people care about. What also needs to be communicated is that something can be done about it, and that's both something that individuals can do, but something that governments should do as well.
The president made it clear that he thought that good government depends on good science."they can make shells, or the rate at which shells are dissolved. I just learned today of some very interesting work being done by NOAA and some academic scientists looking at some deep-sea volcanoes in the western Pacific where there is carbon dioxide that is bubbling up from beneath the ocean, and likely causing lower pH in the immediate vicinity of the areas where the bubbles are emerging. And so there are places where it is possible to investigate the consequences of lower pH on the immediate biota in the area. But setting that aside, I think there is great urgency in significantly ramping up research monitoring and research programs on ocean acidification.
I think all too many scientists assume that everybody knows what they know."percent of the total catch for the year, I might be allocated 5 percent of the total catch for the year. It's like dividing up a pizza. The way most of them are done there is simply an allocation that is given based on past fishing history, but once you have that allocation, you can trade it, you can sell it. Many fishermen are concerned with the problem of consolidation, where a few people would buy up all the shares. You can structure the rules of fisheries to limit that happening... And the amount that can be caught in any one year is determined scientifically by what is sustainable for that fishery.

Skip to comments.Mitch McConnell: 'We're Going to Crush Tea Party Everywhere' in Primaries
Posted on 03/10/2014 3:05:10 PM PDT by yoe
The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson will focus on all current events from general news and crime to politics and investigative reports. On this new show, Carlson will interview newsmakers and lead in-depth panel debates, lending viewers context and perspective on the headlines of the day. The program will also utilize social media to explore trending news stories and enlist viewer feedback.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnewsinsider.com ...
I suspect that McConnell and Boehner have off-shore bank accounts that are being heavily fed money by the people behind BHO2.
AND this is why Mitch will be out next January. If he defeats Joe Bevin in the primaries, Allison Lonergan Grimes will defeat him in November because HE will have caused decent conservative Kentuckians to stay home on election day by his repeated assault on their values and beliefs.
He is in panic mode. He knows the conservatives WILL take the Senate.
I guess the minority leader wants me to raise that $2 million dollars for SarahPAC instead of waiting?
McConnell is making a huge mistake by lining up against the tea party.
McConnell back off. Now.
You are supposed to be fighting Democrats. Not Republicans.
I do not want this crapweasel in the senate. Whatever it takes
With this, McConnell has made an unforced error. It will come back to haunt him.
The turd-le is drinking the 'Rat koolaid.
We have to view his perspective as Cornyn did.
Is the fix in?
Or his he toast? That was Texas' job, to set a precedent of rooting out the RINOs. We made a decent standing at Senator, big gains at state level.
He really is determined to keep dem's in control. Screw the GOPe.
"As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground."
~ Samuel 17
Hey Philistine! The rocks represent votes in the primary.
It makes me wonder if the DNC has paid him off to take a dive.
Mitch, You don't understand. You coulda had class. You coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what you are.
Mitch is way more vulnerable than Cornyn was. This is gonna sting a little. :)
I know enough Kentuckians who will vote for Grimes over McConnell just to get rid of McConnell. That could just be limited to those I know, but they sure want him gone.
They'd rather have an open liberal than a traitor in their midst.
Another $50 to Benvin from moi. Keep yappin', Mitch.
"Obama's ""Mitch" McConnell" just threw up the gauntlet...
"Allison Lonergan Grimes will defeat him in November because HE will have caused decent conservative Kentuckians to stay home on election day by his repeated assault on their values and beliefs."
In Massachusetts, we call that a "Brown Out"
"I know enough Kentuckians who will vote for Grimes over McConnell just to get rid of McConnell. That could just be limited to those I know, but they sure want him gone.
Theyd rather have an open liberal than a traitor in their midst."
The GOPe would rather have their establishment candidate win the nomination and lose the Senate seat than have a conservative alternative win the nomination and then GO ON TO ACTUALLY WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST the DemocRATS.
McConnell has become VERY unpopular in Kentucky. He's a weasel in a turtle's shell.
Folks have got to step up and support Matt Bevin, then, and not leave him hanging. Dwayne Stovall only had $75,000 against Cornyn's millions. He did pretty well considering the funding situation but if you actually want to - you know - win, you've got to provide the candidate with some $$$$.
Fodder for ads by Bevin and the Tea Party quoting McConnell.
McConnell, who just days earlier was at CPAC claiming himself to be a conservative, attacks the Tea Party and conservatism.
So, who does McConnell really represent? Who does McConnell really work for?
Mitch is one smarmy bastard, and he is one of the biggest reasons that America is in the throes of a precipitous collapse. Bob
I'm right across the river, rural Ohio across from rural KY, but they don't like Mitch.
Don't be too sure....'ol RINO McConnell has been in office long enough to amass a strong machine...McCain would be out of office if his machine wasn't so strong.....maybe he will be out this next time around.
>>The Tea Party is NOT THE ENEMY Senator McConnell....get it through your head the Tea Party is made up of Patriots, real Americans....not Progressives (Democrats) which is a euphemism for Socialist or Communist which ARE the enemies of America i.e., a free nation.
The GOPe are also Progressives. The Tea Party is their enemy.
At this point, even if Mitch somehow beats Bevin through crook or hook, I'll take Grimes over him just to see his sorry carcass tossed out in disgrace.
McConnell (31%) is polling about the same level as Jim Bunning (28%) was. Funny thing is that Cornyn forced Bunning to step aside because they said he would lose to the democrat. Looks like Cornyn wants McConnell to lose to Grimes so he'll take Mitch's place.
Mitch's IFF is broke.. probably when he fell off his high horse.
This is the guy who took a two billion dollar bribe from Obama to betray his country.
McConnell barely beat the Democrat 6 years ago. He is toast and Cornyn is licking his chops while encouraging McConnell to run (and lose).
Did Kerry or Obama call Dean supporters kooks or wackos?
When rural Kentuckians don't like you and don't believe you're a conservative, then you're in trouble if you're a politician.
So Mitch does CPAC while waving a muzzleloading Hawken rifle......
Does that prove his support for gun rights? Oh h*** no!
Even liberals argue the 2nd Amendment allows ownership of guns such as they were in the Founders' time. That is, muzzleloaders, flintlocks at that.
Of course there were security concerns. The po-po would have gone all freaky-deaky if McConnell walked onstage with an AR-15. Still, it's hokey, it's fake & is exactly like 2004 when Jean F'in Kerry said "Reporting for duty!"
War with the Tea Party? Bring it, ol' turtleneck.
That would be just like Cornyn, the back-stabbing SOB.
Wow, the gap widens.
We agree. ;-]
It would be a good idea for Rand Paul to pull his support of McConnell after this.
The TEA party is generally for balanced budgets and a small CONSTITUTIONAL government, so it's no wonder he's against it.
As a leading member of the kinder, gentler marxist team, he's none of those things.
Go away, Mitch. You've done enough damage.
Good bye and good riddance.
If Bevin wins the GOP will throw their full weight into defeated him in the general.
Dear Kentucky:
Send this POS to a retirement home.
McCain would be out of office but for Sarah Palin.
Duh. Dumb comment since anyone who follows McConnell's follies knows he's more comfortable with liberal left-wing media outlets than conservative ones.
I can, I can.
Three of them produce chicken s—t,
while one of them IS .........
Not with my money you ain't, Mitchy.

Men's basketball: Ohio State wins at Nebraska
By Bob Baptist
LINCOLN, Neb. _ In a season in which the Ohio State men's basketball team has been most consistent at being inconsistent, why should tonight have been any different?
Fifteen points ahead with less than nine minutes to play against a Nebraska team that has won two Big Ten games, the No.11-ranked Buckeyes watched their lead reduced to five in the final three minutes before escaping the Devaney Center with a 63-56 victory.
"We let up," said guard Lenzelle Smith Jr., who led Ohio State (16-4 overall, 7-2 Big Ten) with a season-high 21 points. "We were manhandling them the whole game and we got into a comfort zone and said, 'Yeah, we won this game.'
"In the Big Ten, no game's won. As long as there's time on the clock, there's always a chance for a team to come back."
Smith said the way the win played out at the end elicited a mixed message from coach Thad Matta in the locker room afterwards.
"He said we didn't play well. There are some things we've got to work on," Smith said. "But we're 7-2. We got the win. We did what we came here to do. But we've got to get better."
The victory moved the Buckeyes into a tie for second place in the Big Ten halfway through the conference schedule.
Nebraska, which trailed 53-38 with less than nine minutes to play, crashed the offensive boards for second and third shots and got as close as 58-53 with 2:40 remaining and had three shots on its next possession to get closer. But none of them fell.
Smith and Aaron Craft made five of six free throws in the final minute to keep the Cornhuskers at bay.
"We could have gotten it to three late if we just tip one in," Nebraska coach Tim Miles said. "Who knows what could have happened then?"
Craft had 14 points, six assists, six rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal to help Smith take up the slack for the Big Ten scoring leader Deshaun Thomas. Thomas scored 15 points but missed 12 of 18 shots from the field.
The Buckeyes made 23 of 28 free throws and outscored Nebraska by 19 points at the line.
David Rivers scored 11 points in the second half and led Nebraska (11-11, 2-7) with 13. Dylan Talley scored 12 points and Ray Gallegos 11 but they missed 19 of 28 shots from the field.
Ohio State stretched a nine-point halftime lead to 53-38 with 9:05 left as Smith and Thomas combined for 12 points in the first eight minutes of the second half.
But after Miles called time out with 8:58 remaining, the Cornhuskers responded by outscoring the Buckeyes 15-5 over the next 5:16. They had five offensive rebounds during that span and scored off two of them. They outscored Ohio State 8-0 on second-chance points in the second half.
But Matta said more at fault then the defense giving up second chances was an offense that put it in bad positions with mistakes.
"We weren't clicking the way we needed to," he said. "We come out of a timeout and we've got a read to make, the read was not there, so just pass it. We didn't do that. We turn it over. Then we turn it over again.
"You can't let those things affect the way you're defending. But when you're giving them easy (baskets), it's hard."
Craft said the Buckeyes need to "find a way" to correct the mistakes.
"But you've got to be happy with a road win in this league," he said. "We found a way to stay on top and finish with a win."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Feb. 26, 2009) - Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), a two-time Olympian with the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, will assist the Jack Brewer Foundation in ringing the New York Stock Exchange closing bell at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, Feb. 27.
As a Jack Brewer Foundation supporter, Berg will assist in ringing the closing bell along with Foundation founder Jack Brewer, Congressman Charles Rangel and Dallas Cowboy Marion Barber.
"This is such a huge honor for me to ring the New York Stock Exchange Bell," Berg said. "Ringing the bell and being a part of the Jack Brewer Foundation is yet another great and positive experience in my life. I am proud to be able to join some other very prestigious people who have had the opportunity to ring the bell. But more importantly, I am happy to be here to support my friend Jack and his foundation. Sometime in the near future, I would like to develop a foundation of my own and become more active in the community."
Brewer, a former National Football League player, founded the JBF in April 2006 as an organization of many initiatives, including a notable microfinance fund benefiting families of Malawi, a country in southeast Africa. Berg said the foundation promotes education, diversity and career development worldwide. According to the foundation Web site (www.jackbrewerfoundation.org), part of its mission is to "target underprivileged youth who exhibit a drive to succeed and providing them with the resources necessary to achieve their educational and professional goals."
Berg has known Brewer since her freshman year in college when both attended the University of Minnesota together. Barber also played football at Minnesota with Brewer. Brewer will be presented with a prestigious Congressional Certificate by Rangel at the 2nd Annual JBF Winter Fundraiser on Feb. 26.
Berg, USA Volleyball's Women's Indoor Player of the Year for 2008, earned a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. She played a key role as one of two setters and the co-captain by helping to stabilize the squad dealing with the magnitude of the Olympic Games under difficult situations.
Berg, competing at less than 100 percent full strength in her left knee that required surgery last September, played in 25 of the 33 sets during the Olympic Games in which the squad turned in a .250 team hitting efficiency and a 41 percent kill ratio. The setting combination of Berg and Robyn Ah Mow-Santos (Honolulu) played a key role in Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) earning the Best Scorer title during the Olympic Games.
Berg played a pivotal role during the Olympic Games quarterfinal round against Italy on Aug. 19. With the U.S. trailing 2-1 in sets, she took the service line to start the fourth set and promptly served the Americans to an 8-0 lead en route to a 25-18 victory. Berg again started the tiebreaking fifth set at the service line and did not yield the serve until the U.S. was in front with a 5-0 score. Team USA went on to win the set 15-6 to advance to the medal round. Berg tallied three aces, a block and 21 assists in the match.
After playing as a reserve in all three sets in the semifinal victory over Cuba on Aug. 21, Berg played a larger role during the gold medal match against Brazil. She started three of the four sets for Team USA and helped the U.S. become the only team at the Olympics to win a set against the eventual gold medalist. The Americans won the second set 25-18 and were leading 18-16 in the fourth set before succumbing in the end.

The Internet has made people a little lazy. Type in a question, and the answer appears.
But what to do when you can't find the information you need online or you aren't sure what's popping up on your screen is the whole story? How do you know the information is accurate, and if it is, do you really know the best way to use it?
The answer to those questions lies in U-Research: Engage. Empower. Enhance. U-Research is a new program designed to improve MC students' information literacy skills. Incorporated into regular classes and other activities, U-Research teaches students how to recognize when information is needed, how to find the right information, and how to put that information to good use.
U-Research is Mississippi College's Quality Enhancement Plan, or QEP. All universities accredited by the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), including MC, are required to create a QEP that enhances the educational experience. U-Research will be one of the many things leaders with the SACS will look at during a reaccreditation site visit to MC April 17-19, 2012.
"Information literacy includes critical thinking skills that are crucial not only for academic success, but also for success in the workplace," says Susan Newman, the Leland Speed Library reference coordinator, who is co-chairing the U-Research project. "Information literacy ranges from gathering relevant information to asking appropriate questions – all skills graduates need to compete in a knowledge-based workforce."

quote Phelix10 players will be the "control". These will have a set CA (150) and PA (180) and have a reputation of 100. These will never change.
The next 10 players can have the same stats in the first load, but in the second load, drop their reputation to 50.
The final 10 players again have the same stats in the first load, but in the second load, raise their reputation by 50.
Record all the changes for every player, average out the changes in each group (Control, Rep-drop and Rep-raise) and see if there is a significant difference between the three groups.
quote StuThats not what he asked!If a players well known across the world, it's normally because they're brilliant.
quote DrachboYeah but shouldn't it have only increased his PA and not his Current ability? It just seems strange that his stats only increased at the start of the game when i put his rep up.Maybe -9 generated a higher PA the other time around resulting in better attributes.

2012 Mount Washington Preview - Page 2
Runners competing in the 7.6-mile race up the Mount Washington Auto Road ascend New England's highest peak—6288 feet—without any reprieve from the incline. It's an average grade of 12 percent.
"It never gets any easier," says Paul Kirsch, who works with the USMRT and helps coordinate the Mount Washington race—which he has completed 12 times. "The biggest danger for quick guys is that they go out too fast."
Kirsch also noted that an uphill climb was selected as the qualifying race because the World Championships will also be all uphill. The World Championship course—and, accordingly, the USMRT qualifying course—alternates between a all-uphill and an up-and-down course every other year.
"Mount Washington is a great race with a great history, and a perfect fit for the qualifying race," says Kirsch. "It's served as the qualifier five times."
Among the men expected to be in the mix are previous Mount Washington winners and USMRT members. Rickey Gates (pictured below) of Woody Creek, Colorado, who won Mount Washington last year in 1:01:32, will look to defend his title. Alamosa, Colorado's Simon Gutierrez, who has twice won Mount Washington and holds the 40-to-44-age-group course record of 1:04:33, will look to qualify for his fourth USMRT. Gutierrez set that record last year, finishing fifth.
But the allure of wearing a USA jersey at a World Championships has drawn talented runners with primarily road and track backgrounds as well. Defending U.S. and World Mountain Running champion Max King of Bend, Oregon, has shown the transition can be made—the 2:14 marathoner and Olympic Trials steeplechaser, who finished fifth in 1:03:18 at his Mount Washington debut in 2010, will look to qualify again.

"Superb online resource
specialising in juicing and
sprouting equipment
and everything for
a holistic home"
John Monk (johnone23__AT__talktalk__DOT__net)
Love it (Omega VERT).
I had never used a juicer before and initially found this a little daunting. I washed all of the bits that clip onto the base unit and left them on the drying rack, to dry.
I took my time reading the manual and it all slotted together really easily. This unit has a good strong motor, but it will tend to jam if you try and cram the produce in too fast. In which case a few seconds in reverse soon clears it. I found that the neck of input tube is a natural limit to size. So I pre-cut everything so that it can be dropped down the tube, one by one. And without forcing. Done in no time!
The resulting juice is superb and gives you a powerful clear buzz straight away.
Cleaning is easy. But I prefer to take my time. Three or four minutes in a relaxed manor.
So pleased with this juicer. The motor sounds unperturbed and in command. I use it everyday, at least once. Looking forward to many a year of happy use.
This stuff really does make you feel good.
Helen M x
I really am so very pleased with the help and superb customer service Anne has provided me with over the last few months. I have purchased a water wise filter which has been excellent but my most life saving purchase has been the enema kits. After embarking on a detox regime of juicing and a move towards raw food, clean water etc I felt as though I was going round in circles, just not being able, to clear the overwhelming feeling of fatigue and toxicity. I watched revelation tv and took advice from felicity corbin wheeler, and we discussed that I am backed up and the colon is not eliminating the toxins. I did one enema and cleared years of illness out of my body. I cannot thank Anne enough. This is not medical advice so consult with a practitioner but for me it was the missing link. The colon is rarely thought of yet it's our waste disposal unit that needs a good clean from yrs of toxic junk food air and water. Thx Anne for bringing this to the masses. Xxxx30/09/2014

This is the best courier service I've experienced. I even get a little map showing the progress of my distiller. This is brilliant! Many thanks for this and for your advice.
Michael M (ompapa210__AT__gmail__DOT__com)
I make nut milks several times a week. Most frequently almond, cashew, walnut or hemp. I have used several different bags in the past. Your Squeeze 'n' Sprout Nut Milk Rounder is my favorite. I appreciate the fine mesh which results in a smoother milk with less pulp. Two big advantages over the competitors are its larger surface area making it easier to squeeze out all of the milk from the pulp and its lack of seams that tend to be weak spots in other bags that can break open under pressure during squeezing. Also pulp can get stuck in the seams of other bags making them difficult to clean. Because the rounder is large, it takes a while to coordinate pouring in the milk and tightening the bag without spilling, but once that is mastered it does an excellent job and is now the only bag I use.28/05/2014

I would just like to say, I recently bought the Juice Producer KT2200 from you and I love it. Previously I had a centrifugal juicer so the juice from this is far superior. I find it pleasant to use and enjoyable to clean. I am a very happy customer.21/05/2014
I love this (KT2200) juicer, quiet, produces great juice, best juicer I have owned!16/04/2014
David Titterton (david_titterton__AT__yahoo__DOT__com)
Since buying this nut milk bag our weekly order of milk for the two of us is down to 2 pints!
All cereals are now with almond milk and it is added to many smoothies instead of water. The bag is strong, easy to wash and filters to perfection. A pleasure to use, my first milk bag , not this make, lasted 4 days and burst under my 70 odd year old titanic grip!

Wanting to increase the production of wheat grass I bought this product in August. It has been in continuous use since then, and does the job to perfection. Only recommendation is to use the suggested quantity of hydrogen peroxide to remove the slight mould growth, which is not on the wheat grass but in the reservoir, saves time when rinsing out.

Re: your 'Survival Still'. I am very pleased with this product. I have done two distillations and the water reading on the 2nd one gave me 1ppm, which is very good and OK for making colloidal silver, when necessary. It is very slow at filling the glass bottle (which I also ordered from you) but that is because my hotplate doesn't get very hot (an old cooker). Also, one does need to follow the instructions very carefully. Thank you for this product. Excellent for survival needs, although if that wasn't a factor, I think I would probably find the electric ones easier to use.21/10/2013
Thank-you for the Airwise and Waterwise products I purchased from Wholistic Research. They are fantastic life-enhancing products I use every day. It's nice living in London but the air and water are toxic, so it's with great relief I can drink clean water, and breathe clean air in my home!20/10/2013

A boy who identifies as a girl has the right to use the girls' restroom and play on girls' sports teams, the Massachusetts Department of Education has told schools. Transgender girls have the right to use boys' restrooms and play on boys' teams.
The guidance said some students may feel uncomfortable sharing those facilities with a transgender student but this ''discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender student.''
Students who "consistently and intentionally refuse to refer to a transgendered student by the name or sex" they choose should face discipline for bullying, the guidance advised.

Date: 11-Nov-2010 - 13-Nov-2010
Location: Ningbo, China
Contact Person: Derek Irwin
Meeting Email: ESP.abstracts
Web Site:
Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Sociolinguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Sep-2010
Meeting Description:
Following the success of the 1st ESP in Asia Conference held at Chongqing
University, China, in October 2009, we are pleased to announce that the
2nd ESP in Asia Conference will be held at the University of Nottingham
Ningbo China, from 11th to 13th November 2010.
The theme of the conference is 'Engaging Ecologies, Evolving
Empowerment'. As ESP grows in Asia, it needs to evolve practices that
engage the ecologies in which it operates. Such ecologies include, on the
one hand, sociolinguistic realities such as multilingualism and variation in
global English(es), and, on the other hand, variable professional and
academic cultures and practices in Asia. The conference theme seeks to
capture the notion that through engaging these ecologies, ESP may evolve
more empowering paradigms, both for individuals and for institutions.
Call For Papers
Extended Deadline
We invite papers and workshop proposals on all aspects of ESP, from
researchers, teachers, training consultants and industry professionals. In
line with the theme, we would particularly encourage papers on the
- English in specialized domains in ESL/EFL contexts
- English in the professions in multilingual & multicultural contexts
- ESP/EAP within a World Englishes paradigm
- Sociolinguistics of work
- Pedagogical innovations in ESP/EAP
- The Asian context: challenges and rewards
- EAP within academics, for academics, and by academics
- Identity and ELT
Abstracts for papers should be no more than 300 words in length, including
references. They may be in either English or Chinese. They may be
submitted via LinguistList, at
, where they will undergo a
blind review process.
Proposals for workshops may also be made via LinguistList. Please include
a general overview of the topic and approach.
Detailed information can be found at the conference website,

Taylor, Robert Lewis
Taylor, Robert Lewis 1912–
Taylor is an American novelist, biographer, journalist, humorist, and author of short stories. Best known for his adventure stories, Taylor won the 1959 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for his novel The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters. This picaresque novel, generally considered his most successful, is distinguished by its lively narrative, vivid dialogue, and imaginative characterizations. Taylor wrote New Yorker profiles from 1939–48, many of which were later collected in book form. He has also written full-length biographies of figures such as Winston Churchill, W. C. Fields, and Carry Nation. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 1-4, rev. ed., and Something about the Author, Vol. 10.)
Lewis Nordyke
["The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters" is] a top-quality tale of the trail to California's gold fields and grassy valleys in 1819. (p. 40)
This novel is as authentic as any story any man could have told after making the trip. It is based largely on the journal of an adventurer who did make it—Dr. Joseph Middleton. In addition to this on-the-scene report, many other authentic narratives and documents contributed to the story.
Mr. Taylor … is a versatile writer. In the main, he tells this story in the first-person, out of the mouth of a 14-year-old lad, Jaimie McPheeters—but the heart of it is related in the letters and journals of Jaimie's father, Dr. Sardius McPheeters. Mr. Taylor pivots nimbly and convincingly from the words of an unusually bright lad … to those of a rather blustery, but lovable, man.
This is a tremendously exciting novel, and it has the added zest of being in sharp focus historically. Some of the incidents of violence will curl the hair of many a reader. (p. 41)
Lewis Nordyke, "Western Odyssey," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1958 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), March 16, 1958, pp. 40-1.
Winthrop Sargeant
"The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters" is full of thoroughly researched minutiae about wagon trains, Indian ways, gold mining, life in the San Francisco of the time, and such, and is delivered in a cheerful, funny, and headlong prose that makes its unabashed theatricality a total delight.
Winthrop Sargeant, "Books: 'The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters'," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1958 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), March 22, 1958, p. 154.
OLIVER La FARGE
Let not the size of ["The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters"] dismay you. It is a small-scale "Anthony Adverse" of the California gold rush with touches of "Huckleberry Finn," a lively, often funny, picaresque tale that conveys a real feel of what it must have been like on the immigrant trails and in the gold fields, and only occasionally does the story become too long. The publisher's blurb stresses the author's "meticulously researched facts," and he himself appends a bibliography of nigh on to 150 titles, but he is too good a novelist to let mere facts stand in the way of a good story.
Considering the enjoyment this reviewer had from the book, he should not carp at minor faults, but a few comments must be made. On the score of "meticulous research," it is odd to find Algonkian words in the mouths of Caddoan-speaking Pawnees, or an Indian Maiden whom the Algonkian Cheyennes of Minnesota called by a New Mexico Tewa name.
Yes indeed, there is an Indian Maiden. One of the charms of this book is its unabashed use exclusively of stock characters. There are Bad Indians who are cowardly, do not wash, and stink. There are Good Indians, who are brave, generous and well scrubbed. Jaimie's father is that old standby, the brilliant, highly educated, charming ne'er-do-well, whose weaknesses keep himself and his son in the state of motion necessary to maintain the story while he enables the author to make comments of which Jamie...

Michael Mewshaw
"A Roaring in the Wind," Robert Lewis Taylor's 14th book, is described on its cover as a novel as well as a "History of Alder Gulch, Montana." But unfortunately it falls far short in both categories. At best it is a fitfully interesting miscellany of vignettes and facts about frontier life….
Taylor, with a weakness for mere cataloguing, does little to shape his material or to pace the accumulation of incidents. It takes more than 100 pages for him just to reach Alder Gulch and by the time he gets there, he seems to have forgotten why he made the trip. Perhaps he, like this reader, was distracted by the lackluster style of the historical journals and diaries from which he incessantly quotes. (p. 32)
One can't avoid noticing that the journals appear to have infected Taylor's own prose. To cite several examples among hundreds: "News of the arrest rolled like a prairie fire"; "Time, even a short time, is the only real healer"; "The miners cried like babies."
To compensate for lines like these, it would take a story of rare strength or characters of preternatural interest. But "A Roaring in the Wind" lacks both. (pp. 32-3)
In the American West, with its acres of emptiness and dinning silences, pioneers often lost their sense of time and direction. Robert Lewis Taylor … seems to have suffered the same fate, staggering through barren spaces, wandering in circles, never realizing that he has lost his way and his reader. (p. 33)
Michael Mewshaw, "Three Novels," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1978 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), February 5, 1978, pp. 32-3.∗
Kris Schusler
Having loved novels dealing with the early West, when one comes along that so captures the essence of that time, the book becomes a treasured piece to share among friends…. [A Roaring in the Wind] captures that essence of the nostalgia and romance of the American frontier…. It is with the introduction of the vigilance committees, the Vigilantes, that Taylor's knowledge of the early West comes into play. In the process he weaves a tale that is both fascinating and humorous.
Kris Schusler, "Books in Review: 'A Roaring in the Wind'," in West Coast Review of Books (copyright 1978 by Rapport Publishing Co., Inc.), Vol 4, No. 2, March, 1978, p. 26.
Randy Shipp
Historical fiction buffs may find ["A Roaring in the Wind"] somewhat of a disappointment. Taylor's description of life in frontier gold rush towns is lively and entertaining, but his plot and character development leave something to be desired….
Looking for adventure, a young man … finds himself a part of the rough mining towns of preterritorial Montana. His description of the people and places he encounters reads like a cross between the rollicking humor of Mark Twain's "Roughing It" and the poignancy of Bret Harte's short stories.
The novel's authenticity is enhanced by the quotes from diaries and newspaper accounts of events of the era. In this respect, it is similar to...
(The entire section is 189 words.)
Paul Schlueter
A Roaring in the Wind, one more work about the Old West, with all the usual clichés and overworked situations and characters, simply didn't seem very promising.
But Taylor has done a good job. The extensive bibliography merely suggests that he has done his homework (or at least looked up book titles); the novel itself suggests that he has been able to transform the deadness of facts into the life of fiction in a manner that may well win him the same acclaim that his The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters did some two decades ago. In fact, there is an echo of that earlier work….
Taylor has an undistinguished style, and the "footnotes" included by Ross, the narrator of the...
