More:Information on Japan's Earthquake and Tsunamis | How You Can Help | Travel-Related and Contact Information | For concerns about a specific U.S. citizen in Japan, email email@example.com.
U.S. Ambassador to Japan John Roos provided an update on the humanitarian disaster relief effort and the nuclear situation on March 16, 2011. At the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, Ambassador Roos said, "I just want to start by reiterating that the United States obviously continues to have Japan and the consequences of this tragedy and the victims in our thoughts and prayers, and those who are in the, particularly in the devastated areas, we are thinking of them at this time.""...We are continuing to have obviously massive search-and-rescue and recovery operations as well as humanitarian support. We know it's as urgent as ever, and I'm very proud of the fact that the United States, our government and its people, are stepping up in countless ways for the Japanese people during this time of need. I also understand that there's a lot of conflicting information out there and we're committed to providing you as much up-to-date information as possible. As you know, it's an evolving situation in areas throughout Japan, but we'll try to get you as up-to-date information on an ongoing basis. I will take several questions today, and as in the past I'm joined by several members of my team here who we can rely on for some of the specifics. In addition, I think as you know, we have significant numbers of experts coming from the United States to help in the humanitarian disaster relief effort, the issues with regard to the nuclear situation, and we will be announcing many of those resources as they come.
"First, why don't I just spend a minute giving you a list of some of the new information today. First of all, with regard to the Fukushima nuclear plant, as you know there are two NRC engineers as well as a Department of Health and Human Services radiation emergency specialist, and Department of Energy radiation health hazards experts have been already on the ground since last Saturday. I was just told an additional seven experts from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have arrived in Japan today. In addition, U.S. aerial and ground radiation monitoring equipment and 34 personnel arrived in Japan last night. These personnel have expertise in health physics and airborne and ground-based radiation field monitoring. The equipment includes detectors, data acquisition systems, and health physics kits. In the military support area, we have delivered over 7,000 pounds of food and water to the disaster area and more is on the way. Nine ships are assisting in the relief operations, and helicopters and other aircraft have now flown over 50 missions to conduct survivor recoveries, transport passengers, and distribute food and water supplies in the most needy areas. With regard to some of the other assistance that's being provided by USAID, at this point in time more than 5.8 million dollars of United States aid has come to Japan so far and more is on the way. Urban search-and-rescue teams are working under the instruction of the Japanese and are coordinating with UK and Chinese teams to ensure a coordinated international response. So, this is just obviously a small piece of the incredible resources that the United States is providing to this human tragedy. Again, our thoughts are with the people of Japan in this incredibly difficult and tragic time, and we will continue to provide assistance in any way possible as Japan confronts its enormous challenges in the weeks and months and years ahead."

I was in Northridge, Ca for the Northridge Earthquake ...it was horrible. By a thread Southern California escaped what could have been unspeakable. Almost no one was prepared to even think well after the event. I think this is as good a moment as has ever been to raise the subject of emergency preparedness for citizens here. My two oldest brothers were geologists. A big earthquake is overdue in Southern Californa. What can be reorganized to make preparedness a common thing in earthquake zones? It is simple things that make the biggest difference.
In Northridge, at first light, I fired up a three burner Coleman stove and handed out hot tea to shocked and dazed people wandering around like zombies. A cup of tea was huge. Not gonna break the bank either. A water filter made the swimming pools a huge resource for drinking water, as the water supply was contaminated. I truly was shocked at the absence of preparedness. (I was a Navy Corpsman)This is a big issue I think.
It fails now due to beaurocracy.

Seattle Democrat Sen. Ed Murray will be the new Senate majority leader. He replaces Sen. Lisa Brown, who decided not to run for re-election after holding the leadership post for the last eight years.
Murray is fresh off the victory of Referendum 74, which grants same-sex couples the right to marry in Washington state.
Murray is a longtime advocate of gay and lesbian rights, and he was the prime sponsor of the same-sex marriage bill that voters approved last week. He'll be the first openly gay majority leader in the state's history.
Murray was first elected to the state House in 1995. He's served in the state Senate since 2006, where he chairs the budget-writing committee. In an uncontested election, Senate Democrats chose Murray to serve as majority leader at a private caucus meeting today.
Here is Murray's statement about the position:
"We have work to do in Olympia – prioritizing education, creating jobs for the middle class, and ensuring Washingtonians have the health care they need. And one of our challenges in a closely divided chamber is to ensure that the Senate is able to fulfill its obligation to govern the state, in tandem with Gov.-elect Jay Inslee and the House. These are not simple challenges, but they are solvable. We can find solutions that work for all of Washington."
Sen. Lisa Brown released a statement congratulating Murray. "Under Sen. Murray's leadership, the Democratic Caucus is well-positioned to continue to provide support for the people of Washington," she said.

Morning-after pill opposition
This letter was written to President Obama.
Dear Mr. President,
In a publication issued by Concerned Women for America, it says: "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration just announced that is has approved a plan to market Plan B One-Step (a.k.a. the morning-after pill) for use without a prescription by women 15 years of age and older. "Fifteen."
If such be true, I personally find such administrative action irrational, unrealistic, immoral and just plain down right stupid!
I might be more understanding a little less angry if the age requirement was 21 years of age, but requiring the over the counter sale to females as young as 15 years of age without a prescription or parental authorization is just plain sinful. Let me call it a "No Brainer" piece of rule making.
Will you please direct the F. and D. Administration to amend their rule to read 21 years of age as a minimum. Thanks.
I do support a female's right to choose without any question the first 12-16 weeks of pregnancy, and after that period of the reasons become rather limited and conditional.
However, I don't promote promiscuity in minors or teenagers, and certainly that is what the proposed rule would encourage at the age of 15. Remember my letter recently to you on the USA becoming known as "GAL" for Greed, Arrogance and Lust? Well, this proposed rule certainly would promote sexual activity in the age group of teenager males, or agitate their lust!
Do you really believe that your two young daughters should be able to purchase such pills without your or Michelle's knowledge? I seriously doubt it.
Let me hear from you soon on this important matter. Thanks.

Pompeii has a killer ending.
Billowing clouds of ash swallow the ancient Roman city, and fireballs rain down. Whole city blocks slide into the sea, and a tsunami tears through the streets, leveling everything in its path.
When Mount Vesuvius erupts in A.D. 79 — feel free to direct spoiler complaints to Pliny the Younger — the movie is absorbing.
But you must first endure more than an hour of derivative plot and tired dialogue.
The similarities between Gladiator and Pompeii are hard to overstate.
In both cases, a warrior is enslaved after his family is murdered. In both cases, he turns out to have an exceptional talent for killing people, he befriends an African gladiator and he falls in love with a woman leagues above his social standing.
But only in Pompeii does the protagonist talk to horses. Milo (Kit Harington from Game of Thrones) is the last member of a Celtic tribe of equestrians that is massacred by Roman soldiers led by Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland) and his right-hand man, Proculus (Sasha Roiz). Milo manages to escape his parents' fate at age 6, but he is scooped up, enslaved and, years later, becomes a killing machine who can enter an arena unarmed and take out three sword-wielding opponents. Milo could be a star if he weren't stuck in provincial Londinium.
And so he is sent to Pompeii. Along the way, he meets Cassia (Emily Browning), the daughter of a powerful politician, and notices that the two people whom he would most like to kill — Corvus and Proculus — also happen to be in town. To make matters worse, Corvus has his eye on Cassia. Most of the movie is taken up by scene after scene of gladiatorial games, but, when Milo isn't fighting, he is sharing passionate looks with Cassia and steely glares with Corvus.
None of that really matters once the ground begins to shake and Vesuvius wakes from its slumber. Then the film moves from a Gladiator clone to a less successful Roland Emmerich catastrophe picture. Say what you will about the man behind White House Down and Independence Day, but the character developments in those movies seem pretty good compared with the scant dialogue and simplistic personalities in Milo's world.
Still, Pompeii does Emmerich one better in the special-effects department. Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, The Three Musketeers) creates harrowing simulations of the disaster. The result is enough to make you want him to ditch the sword-and-sandals background story altogether.
Harington's star is on the rise. But his first starring movie role doesn't showcase what he can do as an actor.
He transformed his body for the role, but here's the real disaster: His startlingly defined abs are the most memorable part of his character.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Behind the Scenes PhotosToday's Washington Post highlights how Secretary Clinton is making women's empowerment a foreign policy priority.
Last week, Secretary Clinton traveled to Africa. Today's Washington Post features an article by Mary Beth Sheridan, who writes about Secretary Clinton's efforts make women's empowerment a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy.
In an interview in Kenya, Secretary said, "[T]he role that women have to play in any society is so critical, and it's particularly critical in Africa, where too many women are impoverished, they're marginalized, they're unable to really obtain the tools of education and healthcare for themselves and their children, and then it perpetuates dependency, it perpetuates the cycle of poverty. And that's especially important because women are the tools and the real drivers of change in their own families. I mean, there's that old saying: You educate a man, you educate a man; you educate a woman, you educate a family."
While in the Congo, Secretary Clinton held a roundtable discussion with NGOs and activists on sexual and gender-based violence and announced that the United States will provide more than $17 million in new funding to prevent and respond to gender and sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Read more from the Secretary's trip to Africa.

Fire destroys historic RC building
ROGERS CITY – A historic downtown Rogers City building was destroyed after catching fire Monday morning.
The Fischer Brewery Building on N. Third Street between Superior and Friedrich streets caught fire at around 11 a.m., Rogers City Area Fire Department Chief Mike Kroll said. Firefighters were still putting out the last of the blaze as of 8 p.m. One tenant of the building's four apartments was hospitalized for smoke inhalation.
The two-story cement block building, once a brewery, had a barber shop and apartments inside, Kroll said. Dating back to 1912, the building had been renovated over the years. Its age, combined with its pitched roof, complicated efforts to quell the blaze.
Firefighters from the Rogers City Area Fire Department were aided by the Posen Area Fire Department, Kroll said. Firefighters had entered the building at one point, but had to retreat as the structure collapsed. The building's second story collapsed into the first, and the roof collapsed in other places.
They fought the blaze in single-digit temperatures, with a stiff wind adding to the chill. Icicles hung from empty window openings and an awning on the building's front. A tree out front sagged under the weight of ice.
Employees at the Rogers City Senior and Community Center, located nearby, turned the building into a makeshift warming center. Tracie Miller and Cheryl Krusell said they were on break when they saw one of the tenants running around. He told them the building was on fire, and the two women and community center General Manager Terry Langlois went to make sure everyone was out of the building.
The center canceled its dinner for the night and served the food to firefighters instead, Krusell said.
The fire started in one of the apartments, Krusell said.
Kroll had not been able to talk to any of the tenants as of Monday afternoon, he said, and had no further information as to a possible cause.
Kelli Grulke was home with her son when the fire broke out, she said. One of the tenants knocked on her door and told her the building was on fire.
Grulke's belongings were uninsured, and the fire destroyed her boyfriend's things as well. He is currently staying elsewhere, she said. She'll likely stay with her dad, who lives in town.
"Everything I've worked for is for my son," she said. "It's gone."
Crystal Curtis, another tenant, was working when her aunt called her, she said. Her aunt's husband is a firefighter in another township, and heard of the fire on his scanner. She and her two children will now have to stay with her parents.
Curtis, Grulke and another tenant spoke to Deb Greene, a Red Cross volunteer, about getting assistance after the blaze.
Mayor Beach Hall also helped, speaking with Curtis to make sure she'd been contacted by the Red Cross. While watching firefighters battle the blaze, he said another historic building had gone up in smoke.
"It's one of the oldest buildings in town," he said. "There's not a lot of them left."

Rembrandt is widely considered one of the Dutch Masters of painting. With magnificent portraits including one of his most famous works, the enormous The Night Watch, you can almost place yourself in the frame; the colors in the center so vivid and the details so exact. How or why Johnson & Johnson thought it an equally good name for the Rembrandt Intense Stain: Stain Dissolving Strips for your teeth is beyond me.
You'd think this was an inexpensive, convenient way to get the job done. It's not. Using the somewhat medicinal tasting strips to brighten my smile, I was very disappointed. First of all, they are very difficult to remove from their metallic pouch. Then, they do not dissolve as promised in 5-10 minutes. In fact, they leave a really weird, gummy feeling. And, worst of all, they did nothing to whiten my teeth.
There are other ways I can enhance my smile and that $150 charge from my dentist is looking like a bargain, at this point.

Topic: Migrating a large-ish website that uses Server-Side Includes to rails
Hi all.
This is my first post here for a long time, so I wanted to say "Hello again", its good to be back in rails-land.
Right, now for my question. I have a client that wants me to make lots of changes to their website. The website at the moment is a HTML site, with a little perl scripting and plenty of server-side includes. I want to use rails to add all the new functionality, and to "future-proof" the site.
I thought that I could do this by just importing the existing pages (200-300) into the public folder, and leaving those unchanged. Then I would re-develop the main pages in rails. The problem is, this idea doesn't seem to work in practice, because of the Server-Side includes. In my simple tests, the SSI's are being ignored, I guess the server just doesn't process them. Is it possible to change this, is it just a limitation of webrick and should it be possible to configure them as well as rails? Or, would I be better off trying to map the website out and migrating it properly into corresponding views using partials and layouts to mimic the SSI functionality. I'm wary of the effort that this may involve.
Any thoughts appreciated

Classic rock and flamenco are an odd combination. In the hands of guitarist Benise, somehow it works.
This Thursday, Benise and his posse of musicians and dancers will take the Kravis Center stage in promotion of his newest album En Fuego!. Described as a world music and dance spectacular, the show is a high-energy trip around the world, complete with multimedia vignettes, extravagant sets and thrilling choreography.
Strip away the theatricality and you have Benise the musician, a devote guitarist with a thirst for performance.
After receiving a guitar at age 11 or 12 (he can't quite recall) Benise locked himself in his room and practiced incessantly. This is where he developed his personal style, a marriage of classic rock—which he grew up listening to—and Spanish guitar influence. "It's taking my rock 'n' roll roots and then adding it with flamenco," Benise says. Flamenco covers of rock anthems are staples of his catalog. Ones featured on his newest album include Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," "Hotel California" by The Eagles, AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" and "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" by Bryan Adams.
Benise officially began his career far from the glare of the stage lights, on the streets of Southern California. Initially, clubs were unwilling to book an act selling a rock-flamenco hybrid. "There wasn't a club that would hire us," he says. "So we just went out and started playing on the streets." The energy of the streets informed his performances, and eventually he began to book festivals. This is when flamenco dancers joined the Benise team. "I added flamenco dancers because we would do a lot of festivals and I just love the element of a show."
And what a show it is. This tour, which coincides with the DVD release of Benise Live in China!, is a textured homage to world music. "Every song tells a different story and each has its own energy," says Benise. Some numbers are sensory overloads, reflecting the over-the-top energy of the music. Close your eyes and you might miss a hoard of dancers cha-cha across the stage, a costume change or a video vignette filmed on location around the world. For Benise, the theatricality poses its own problems. "The biggest challenge is to not hit someone in the head with my guitar neck, there are dancers everywhere," he says.
While many songs are larger-than-life showstoppers, others are understated instrumentals between Benise and his band. In these numbers, Benise feels more at home, reminded of his roots. "It seems like the energy is even more when it's just me and my band," says Benise. "It's like it was when he performed on the streets. It's just a raw energy."
Benise, En Fuego! will be at the Kravis Center this Thursday, November 8. To purchase tickets or learn more, visit kravis.org.

This purpose of this study is to determine if activation of a person's immune system in the small intestine could be a contributing cause of Type 1 Diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to see why the ability of fat cells to respond to insulin is different depending on body shape and how fat tissue inflammation is involved.
The investigators will determine whether people with high muscle mitochondrial capacity produce higher amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on consuming high fat /high glycemic diet and thus exhibit elevated cellular oxidative damage. The investigators previously found that Asian Indian immigrants have high mitochondrial capacity in spite of severe insulin resistance. Somalians are another new immigrant population with rapidly increasing prevalence of diabetes. Both of these groups traditionally consume low caloric density diets, and the investigators hypothesize that when these groups are exposed to high-calorie Western diets, they exhibit increased oxidative stress, oxidative damage, and insulin resistance. The investigators will compare Somalians and NE Americans who are matched for age, BMI, and sex. The investigators will measure ROS production in skeletal muscle following high fat/high glycemic diet vs. healthy diet. The investigators will compare the oxidative damage to proteins, DNA, and lipids in these two populations following 10 days of high fat/high glycemic index diet in comparison with low fat diet. The investigators will determine if elevated levels of oxidative damage in Somali immigrant populations is accompanied by high mitochondrial capacity, higher ROS-emitting potential, and lower insulin sensitivity than NE. The proposed study will be performed utilizing the state-of-the-art proteomic and metabolomic methods many of which were recently developed in our laboratory. The investigators expect the results from this study to provide seminal insights into the underlying mechanism of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, in addition to demonstrating mechanisms by which a functional proteome is maintained in vivo.

Sunroof Visors
How To Install A Universal Sunroof Visor
Sunroof deflectors install on your vehicle's roof in front of the leading edge of the sunroof itself. The rounded, upwardly-curving shape they possess redirects air so it flows up and over the sunroof opening instead of into the vehicle. Because of that built-in curve, most deflectors extend over and effectively cover approximately three to six inches of the sunroof opening at the front - blocking sun glare that would normally beam directly into your eyes.

Follow rules for bicycle safety
To the editor:
Bicyclists, children and adults alike, need to know that the rules of the road apply to them as well as autos. Stop signs and red lights mean you must STOP. Bicyclists need to ride with traffic, close to the curb and in single file.
Also, why aren't bicyclists using hand signals when making a turn? When turning left, place left arm straight out with a pointed finger before making a turn. For turning right, make an "L" shape with your left arm, with the fist up in the air before making a turn.
Drivers also need to be reminded about what theses hand signals mean.
Bicycle accidents are happening with greater frequency in Minnesota, let's not have any in New Ulm.

Kingdom of Your Heart – United Kingdom
Filed under: Travel
The monotony of life, when allowed to spread out, ultimately explodes into something called travel and tourism. Tourism is moving out of your usual life and home to spend some time in some other place, be it just near your town at your relative's place, or a far off country with a totally different culture and scenic beauty. Travel gives you much needed peace and relaxation in this hectic world. The choice of the destination may depend upon the actual motive behind
travelling influenced by the interest of the person. People travel for recreation, holidaying, for visiting religious places, business trips, discovering and exploring different cultures around the world, spending time with their family that stays away from them, or just for the sake of travelling.

How To Develop Responsive Websites And What Are Their Benefits
Filed under: UK Webmasters
How do I catch your eye? How do I keep your attention? Have I evoked a response from you? If I let you go, will you get back to me again? Pertinent questions to be answered by every web designer and content writer on behalf of the user when they embark on a job of a website launch.
The world today has shifted from the conservative to modern and internet is 'the' tool to knowledge on the move. So, we not only have to provide the knowledge but also present it in a way that it keeps the charm. Let us look a little into this to evolve our own answers. Read more
How Internet Affects The Cognitive Learning Process In Individuals
Filed under: Internet
The advent of new technology always invites criticism. Whether it be the steam engine, or the first transistor radio, people tend to be skeptical whenever new technology, or an invention, is presented to them. Human nature can be rather cynical as far as acceptance of new ideas and radically new methods is concerned. Maybe, the human nature subscribes to the doctrine "Thou shalt not hasten to reach thy conclusion", or possibly, we humans are wary about unprecedented changes. Whatever the reasons, the peculiarity of our thinking processes does create impediments while embracing new transitions. In the recent decades, the arrival, and the subsequent manifestations of the internet has given birth to many beliefs. While some of them could be a result of dubious mindsets, a few might be worth thinking about for their plausibility. A popular debate regarding the internet is about its effect on the learning process and educational methods – how it affects the thinking process of individuals. Read more
What Is The Advantage Of Medical Billing Outsourcing
Filed under: Business
If the Medical Health Services is to survive and grow, then the time taken for settlement of claims has to be fast and should be cut back to a bare minimum of days. The faster the settlement, the better will be for the system to respond to new business propositions / transactions.
The post hospitalization period is crucial to the fast turn around of Health Medical Services business. This period involves completing large and complex paperwork, knowledge of legal procedure with accuracy in calculation of claims along with the strict audit check. In the absence of such outsourcing, the in house operations multiply – resulting in inefficiency and time lost. Moreover there is every possibility of the system coming to a grinding halt, if for some reason the backlog pile up due to employee turnover problem or lack of knowledge of laws, or inaccuracy in submissions of bills. Adversely affecting the cash flow. Read more
Console Gaming Vs Online Gaming
Filed under: Business
Gaming provides a break from the ever competitive world. Yet gaming types too have their differences. Here are some marked differences between console gaming and online gaming.
1. To play console gaming the player has to buy a gaming console such as Nintendo's Wii or Microsoft's X-Box. On the other hand, you can play online games in your laptop or your personal computer. But the PC or laptop needs to have a processor that is ultra fast. The laptops or computers that have large memory capacity will support online games as well. Read more

Skip to comments.Therapy in China gives blind Ark. girl some sight
Posted on 06/14/2008 7:46:06 AM PDT by Dr. Marten
MOUNTAIN HOME, Ark. When 9-year-old Kacie Sallee saw her father's face more clearly for the first time in her life, she had a question.
"She said, 'Is that what he looks like?'" said her mother, Marinda Sallee.
Kacie, who is blind, returned last week from China, where she received umbilical-cord stem cell treatment in hopes of improving her eyesight. The nearly four-week trip and medical treatment was paid through $60,000 in local donations.
Kacie was born with septo-optic dysplasia, an underdevelopment of the optic nerve and pituitary gland. She could see bright colors out of her right eye but only light and dark out of her left eye.
During treatment overseas, her family started noticing improvements. Kacie looked at a photograph of her father, Stephen Sallee, on the computer, and saw his eyes and mouth were more defined, Marinda Sallee said.
"Before, she would look at a face and say it had spots on it," she said. "It's little things, but for us, it's huge."
Now, Kacie is starting to see bright colors out of her left eye, which she could never detect before, Sallee said. She also can count fingers when they are held about four inches away from her face, she said.
Her family also is noticing a difference in the way Kacie uses her eyes. Before, she looked down most of the time, but now, she looks up and appears to watch more, Sallee said. At a local park Wednesday, Kacie seemed to watch her brother swing, her head moving back and forth.
Kacie, her mother and grandmother stayed at Chengyang People's Hospital in Qingdao, China. Kacie received four spinal and one intravenous umbilical stem cell transfusion by Beike Biotech.
The stem cells were obtained from umbilical cords of healthy babies and were not embryonic stem cells from a human embryo.
Umbilical stem-cell treatment is not approved in the United States for her condition, experts have said.
The Sallees chronicled their journey on a blog, which they updated nearly every day.
Kacie stayed in the hospital the day of her treatment and also the next day, because her back and head would hurt, Marinda said. After that, they explored area restaurants and markets.
Kacie bought dolls, which she named after her favorite translators April, Wendy and Amanda, she said. She also bought a jade bracelet and a tea set. The family learned to bargain for items with vendors by using a calculator, her mother said.
While in China, Kacie also looked forward to eating shrimp sandwiches at KFC, a menu item not offered locally, she said.
"I just wish I could see a picture of a shrimp sandwich at KFC," Kacie said, describing in detail how the sandwich was made.
The Sallees are grateful they could make the trip, Marinda Sallee said, adding the stem cells Kacie received will grow for one year. Oxygen treatment may help if they stop noticing improvements, she said. If Kacie keeps improving, they may consider going back to China for more treatments, she said.
While Kacie's eyesight improvements may be slow, Marinda Sallee plans to post any news on Kacie's Web site at

"There may be weeks you will not have change, and then you notice something different," Marinda Sallee said. "We can't wait to see what tomorrow's is."
Which China?
This kind of therapy should be made available in the US. Ridiculous that it isn't.
There's only one China.
Yep. Certainly is. There are some on this forum who want to completely ban stem cell research, no matter the source of the cells.
If only we had Nationalized health care................
Another thing you can blame on the Democrat party. Democrats want to do anything to sanctify abortion, so they all oppose any stem cell funding that specifically exempts cells harvested from dead babies. They only care about people like this child, or Christopher Reeve and Michael J. Fox only as long as it helps them to advance the cause of mainstreaming the murder of the unborn.
Me personally, I think we should fund such research, provided the cells are not harvested from murdered babies. When my baby is born, I plan to donate the cord blood for such research.
I've never seen anyone post that. Many of us are vehemently opposed to embryonic stem cell usage.
I've been getting some people to think about the issue IRL by pointing out how limited money for research really is and 'don't you think it should be spent on treatments that WORK?'
I'm very happy to read about another one.
That's what pregnant American women said about that miracle morning-sickness drug which was only available in Europe. You know - thalidomide.
I have.
Here's the big thing about embryonic stem cells. If the child was already dead (stillborn, aborted, miscarried or whatever) then what does it matter how the cells are used? If the child was specifically aborted to use the cells, that's a different story.
The funding is low, but the payoff is so high that we need to be doing the research. I'm not a big fan of people who are so stuck in their beliefs that they want to stand in the way of human progress.
Why don't you go put on a full body condom, a respirator and a helmet? That will protect you from most anything that could go wrong.
Sometimes we as scientists make mistakes. It happens. Making the analogy that you have here is a false one and you should think it through a little bit more.
We're taught to manage risk as best as we can, but at some point you have to decide, release your product or scrap the research. Nothing in life is 100% assured or safe, and there's no reason to pretend that it should be.
I have to admit I am shocked. They helped a 'girl'? In China?
It's because of where some people think THAT will lead to. If you use the stem cells regardless of where they came from, some people THINK it MAY lead someone to have a baby JUST for the stem cells and kill it. It's the same with gun shows....people don't want to stop criminals from getting them at Gun Shows through a new law, because it MIGHT lead to OTHER laws at Gun Stores.
I don't know that I would eat a shrimp sandwich in China.
Yeah well most people don't think, of the remainder most don't do it well. That's as far as I'm going to go with that quote.
keep quiet the army is thinking abou that
but there will be those on this forum who disagree.
All power comes from the barrel of a gun,eh?
Really? Can you cite that without going to too much trouble?
"Yeah well most people dont think, of the remainder most dont
do it well. Thats as far as Im going to go with that quote."
Perhaps this is the quote you reference:
"Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so".
——Bertrand Russell
Swords and spears are so passé you know...
Terrific news!
Adult and Umbilical stem cells now have many proven uses.
Whereas embryonic stem cells are - apparently - only good for attracting government grant money.
Somebody already addressed what I'll call the 'oops angle'. So, I'll take the other.
Of the funding, you assert that 'the payoff is so high that we need to be doing the research'. We ARE doing the research. Public funding is available to anybody who will research alternate (non-embryonically derived) stem cells. From a purely scientific perspective, the embryonic cells don't do very well. A propensity to develop into cancerous cells has been identified.
There is a probability that I've read insufficiently, but if you do have any sources that show that 'the payoff is so high that we need to be doing the research', I'd like to see it.
The stem cells used in this treatment were non-embyonic. The traetent is forbidden in the us because the FDA has not gotten around to aproving it.
You say, "if the child was already dead..."
First, thanks for acknowledging that an embryo is a child, which we knew anyway. Second, your reasoning - in truth, your rationalization - leads to: 1) first killing the child, then; 2) claiming that such "research" is okay, since the child is already dead. This is exactly what opponents of embryonic stem cell "research" have fought because we know it would take place just as you describe.
Third, embryonic stem cell "research" has no track record of success, which should answer your question. Those who champion this version of "research," along with the likes of Michael Fox, should, when found in this girl's circumstances, just stay home and wait for embryonic stem cell research to cure them, rather than go to where real stem cell research can accomplish its cures. Clearly this girl's parents had their heads in the right place in selecting the only mode of research with real hope of curing her blindness.
Given the success deficit of embryonic stem cell research, and your insistence that it persist, despite its "low funding," who is really so stuck in their beliefs here, you or those who recognize real research and real success? Recall that insanity is defined by some as making the same mistake again and again, hoping for a different result.
Which dovetails nicely with the notion that liberalism, with its blind-faith support of futile embryonic stem cell "research," is a mental disease.
I'm stunned (stuned?) Your "logic" would also outlaw human organ donations. We'd soon be killing people to get them, wouldn't we? You've really carried your thinking way beyond all common sense.
I'm not claiming that it couldn't happen, but if a child were murdered to obtain his stem cells, then that crime would have to be punished. But to outlaw the use of embryonic stem cells from any source is just selfish and unscientific.
How can a scientist not know that embryonic stem cells come ONLY from embryos, NOT from stillbirths or miscarriages?
Your gratuitous insult aside, there's nothing at all wrong with my analogy. American women, and their children, were protected from thalidomide because the FDA does move slowly. Have you forgotten what happened when researchers tried to race ahead, skipping animal research and going straight to human, using fetal cells (not embryonic) to treat Alzheimers'? The patients developed teratomas inside their skulls. I believe that was also in China.
No, embryonic stem cells can come from stillbirths and miscarriages.
Animal research does not necessarily correlate to human results. In the end, it comes down to whether or not we have the cojones to test on humans. Willing and completely informed participants of course, not willy-nilly.
To Crazie:
No, I'm not an anti-religious bigot. I just choose not to believe. My biggest issue with the stance of completely opposing embryonic stem cells is the fact that if the baby is already dead, what harm is there in using the stem cells for research? I completely agree that creating a market for aborted fetuses is bad, if the fetuses are aborted specifically for the stem cells.
Think of it like this, I'm a corn farmer and I pick corn for food, but my crop has failed, I've only got greenery to show for it and not a single ear of corn. Is it wrong for me to sell the rest of the biomass for biodiesel production?
Like a poster just above me stated, following your "logic" we should outlaw organ donations, many donors are kept alive just to keep the organs ripe for harvest, others are pronounced early in order for doctors to get at the organs because they have a patient who needs one. How is that any different?
The stem cells were obtained from umbilical cords of healthy babies and were not embryonic stem cells from a human embryo. Umbilical stem cell treatment is not approved in the United States for her condition, experts have said.

Some Tri-Lakes schools dismiss early for snow (3rd update)
Several local schools will dismiss students early today as more snowfall is forecast.
The Lake Placid Central School District will release middle-high school students at 11:10 a.m. and elementary school students at 11:50 a.m. St Agnes School will close at 11:30.
The Saranac Lake Central School District will release middle school students at 10:40 a.m., high school students at 10:50 and elementary school students at Petrova and Bloomingdale schools at 11:45. St. Bernard's will close at 10:30.
In Tupper Lake, there are no plans to release students early, at least for now.
"We're just going to monitor the weather over the next couple of hours, but I don't foresee an early dismissal here," district Superintendent Seth McGowan said. "If things change, then that will change."
In Saranac Lake, there will be no afternoon pre-kindergarten. District-wide, all afternoon and evening activities have been canceled.
Keene Central School closed before the day got under way. Other schools in the Adirondacks are closed today while some operated on two-hour delays.
The Lake Placid Center for the Arts has also canceled all after-school activities today.
Paul Smith's College will close its campus at 12:35 p.m., canceling all classes and activities after that today.
No snow-related accidents had been reported in the Tri-Lakes area as of 10 o'clock this morning. The Associated Press reported that a 69-year-old Illinois woman was killed in a crash on snow-covered roads in Steuben County. In the Hudson Valley this morning, state police covering a four-county area responded to more than 80 auto accidents related to sleet and freezing rain, according to the AP.
The National Weather Service reported snowfall totals early this morning up to 10 inches in Saratoga County. The storm is mostly impacting the eastern half of upstate New York, although weather advisories are in effect for some counties in western New York.

JACKSON — Mississippi's six members of the Electoral College met Monday and all voted for Republican Mitt Romney, who carried the state in the presidential race.
Electors met around the country in a process that formalizes Democrat Barack Obama's re-election as president.
About two dozen people watched the brief process in a small room at the Mississippi Capitol, including Republican Gov. Phil Bryant.
The six electors were chosen at the state Republican convention in Jackson. They are all white men who live in the Jackson area, including Austin Barbour, who was deputy chief strategist for the Romney campaign.

Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Paul Crête Rivière-Du-Loup—Montmagny, QC
Mr. Speaker, having taken part in the parliamentary conference on the WTO, organized jointly by the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the European Parliament, I am convinced that Canada needs to double its educational efforts in order to show the rest of the world that the agricultural supply management system is one of the ways to put a human face on globalization.
Agriculture was, of course, at the heart of those debates, but the focus was far more on market access than on the producers' quality of life. The position I defended was that we ought to focus on greater market fairness for all and, at the same time, respect the status of those involved in agriculture, that is the producers and farm workers.
The WTO is slated to table the outcome of the process in Hong-Kong this December, and this ought to result in some considerable progress in the negotiations.
I invite all members of this House to take ownership of this debate, since it is the responsibility of us all as elected representatives to ensure that the new rules for the global market are democratic ones.
Coast Guard

Michael John Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, recently in my riding of Dartmouth—Cole Harbour my colleague, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced that the Canadian Coast Guard would become a special operating agency, the largest SOA in Canada, which recognizes its unique and important role to Canadians.
This special designation allows the Coast Guard to focus its resources on providing excellent marine services while enhancing its responsibilities in the areas of national security, environmental response and the facilitation of maritime commerce. The Canadian Coast Guard will continue to play an integral role in scientific research, conservation and protection of our fisheries.
The Coast Guard is an important agency. It is important to the people of Dartmouth. While more operating dollars are critically needed, this new status along with over $400 million invested in this year's budget for new vessels will ensure that this proud organization will continue to be a world leader in providing marine services to Canadians.

Ken Epp Edmonton—Sherwood Park, AB
Mr. Speaker, there is great joy in Edmonton—Sherwood Park these days. We are all excited about Randy Ferbey's fabulous victory in the Ford Men's World Curling Championship in Victoria this past weekend.
Randy and his teammates, David Nedohin, Scott Pfeifer and Marcel Rocque, kept Canadians on the edge of their seats during most of the games in this tournament. We all heaved a collective sigh of relief when they won their last game, beating Scotland 11 to 4.
These curlers from my riding are absolutely fabulous. They have won 30 of their last 35 games, coming out victorious in the provincials and the Canadian Brier. Now they are the world champions for the third time.
We congratulate them and wish them success as they move toward representing Canada in the 2006 Winter Olympics. They truly are world champions.

Russ Powers Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to reflect on last month's observation of Anti-Discrimination Day and to honour the men and women of the Settlement and Immigration Services Organization of Hamilton, our outstanding community based centre dedicated to the well-being of new Canadians who choose to settle in the greater Hamilton area.
Hamiltonians are very proud of the diversity of immigrant services offered by this organization. Highlighting its work are the programs directed at the promotion of social justice, equality and equity. It is family sensitive and well networked. All federal and provincial stakeholders mandated to spearhead the integration of almost 4,000 new immigrants who arrive in Hamilton annually participate.
The professionals at SISO break down barriers that immigrants and refugees inevitably face as they seek to become Canadians. As a member, I along with others salute those committed to this wonderful program in Hamilton and to those beyond, from coast to coast to coast in our great Canadian home.

France Bonsant Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, on March 20, I had the pleasure of attending the final day of the activities of the 2005 edition of Place aux jeunes in the Haut-Saint-François region.
The purpose of this familiarization program is to stem the exodus of our young people. It encourages social commitment, facilitates job entry and stimulates the creation of businesses in the outlying regions, while raising the awareness of young people and local stakeholders of the impacts of relocation.
These familiarization visits, organized by the Carrefour jeunesse du Haut-Saint-François and spread over three weekends, give more than a dozen young people a chance to explore the region. In past years, they have resulted in several dozen young people deciding to relocate to the Haut-Saint-François regional municipality.
We congratulate Christian Gauthier, the director of the East Angus Carrefour jeunesse-emploi, and Nadia Latulippe, Eastern Townships migration officer, for their commitment to this cause and for helping entice young people back to our fine region.
Terry Fox

Maria Minna Beaches—East York, ON
Mr. Speaker, on April 12, 1980, 25 years ago today, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope to raise funds for cancer research.
As a young athlete who had lost his leg to cancer, Terry crossed 3,339 miles over 143 days on his incredible journey. Many said that the idea was ridiculous, but Terry proved them wrong.
When he arrived in Toronto, Terry Fox was greeted as a national champion by some 10,000 people gathered in Nathan Phillips Square.
On the morning of September 1 the Marathon of Hope came to a tragic end when Terry collapsed outside of Thunder Bay. Cancer had spread to Terry's lungs. Nine months later, one of Canada's greatest heroes passed away.
Terry's philosophy was simple: research money equals hope. I encourage all Canadians to reflect on the remarkable life of this young man and give generously until a cure is found.

David Tilson Dufferin—Caledon, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the pleasure of introducing several guests from my riding of Dufferin—Caledon who are in the House today. For the past three days, students Pavan Sapra, Michael Lucci, Marissa Hunter, Angela Davenport, Bartosz Junik, Rebecca Snelgrove and Nathan Wynes, as well as chaperones Nicole Robins and Real Gagnon, have been touring our nation's capital and learning about our Canadian government and Parliament on the Capital Hill Experience.
Not only have these students had an opportunity to tour Parliament Hill, but they have visited the Supreme Court of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the CBC studios, the New RO, and attended a lecture at the British High Commission.
This experience has been made possible through funding by the rotary clubs of Shelburne, Orangeville, Caledon West and Bolton. These rotary clubs have worked with my office to select students and provide a capital hill experience these students are sure to remember.
Mr. Speaker, please join me in welcoming these students to Ottawa.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the residents of Etobicoke—Lakeshore, I would like to congratulate those who were honoured last night at the eighth annual Etobicoke Business Excellence Awards gala.
The black tie event was co-hosted by the Etobicoke Chamber of Commerce and the Etobicoke Guardian to recognize businesses and business persons for their exemplary accomplishments in the Etobicoke community.
I wish to congratulate Gino Piscelli, Don Gain, Greg Flagler, Ron Crosby, Naresh Bangia, John Lyon, Ignacio Musalem, Gerry Vandergrift and Paul Floyd. Through their hard work, diligence and integrity, they have achieved excellence.

Libby Davies Vancouver East, BC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to rise in the House today to congratulate the Royal Canadian Legion Mount Pleasant Branch 177 in my riding of Vancouver East. The branch marked its 60th anniversary in a remarkable way by an important landmine clearance project.
Its contribution will support demining operations for a 12 week period in Afghanistan, one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. As part of the Adopt-A-Minefield global campaign, this project will fund the work of a 30 person team from the Afghan Technical Consultants.
The Mount Pleasant Legion has a long history of contributing to the community. This latest initiative is another fine example of its service and commitment to human security and peace. The global landmine crisis has killed or maimed tens of thousands of people worldwide. The eradication of anti-personnel mines is a vital task facing the international community and action needs to be taken.
I applaud the Mount Pleasant Legion's initiative. This is an excellent project taken up by this branch and it most definitely lives up to its motto, "We joined to serve; we're serving still".

James Moore Port Moody—Westwood—Port Coquitlam, BC
Mr. Speaker, 25 years ago today, Port Coquitlam's Terry Fox began his inspirational journey to fight cancer. On April 12, 1980 Terry dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean and began his Marathon of Hope.
He ran 26 miles a day, seven days a week, through the Atlantic provinces, Quebec and Ontario. It was a journey Canadians will never forget.
On September 1, 1980, after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop running outside of Thunder Bay because cancer appeared in his lungs. An entire nation was stunned and saddened. Terry passed away on June 28, 1981. He was only 22.
Cancer research and treatment has come a long way since 1981, in part because of the courage of Terry Fox. Some $360 million has been raised worldwide in Terry's name to fight cancer, and he inspired millions.
When he died, Terry Fox said, "Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. It's got to keep going without me". That is our challenge. Let us never give up doing all we can to fight cancer. It is the only way to truly honour Terry's legend, courage and memory.

Raynald Blais Gaspésie—Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC
Mr. Speaker, two organizations, Dignité rurale and Vision Percé-Gaspé, recently presented me with a petition signed by more than 2,200 people concerned about the future of rail transportation in the Gaspé Peninsula.
For 15 years we have been living with a threat over our heads about the future of Via Rail's Chaleur route. The once daily service has been cut to three trips a week.
In 2004, the federal government asked Via Rail to reduce its operating costs and it has been confirmed that various scenarios were considered, including eliminating its service to the southern Gaspé Peninsula.
In the Gaspé Peninsula there is a close connection between passenger trains and freight trains, which rely on well-maintained tracks. Without adequate funding to maintain the Gaspé network, both services are threatened.
It is time to put an end to this suspense and for the federal Minister of Transport to tell us clearly and precisely his plans for the future of rail in the Gaspé Peninsula.
Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival

Helena Guergis Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, Saturday, April 23 marks the 39th annual Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival in my riding of Simcoe—Grey.
Each year the Town of Elmvale explodes in a celebration of nature's rites of spring. Close to 30,000 visitors line the streets to enjoy sugar bush tours, fresh maple syrup, shopping, the all day pancake breakfast and the midway, of course.
I would like to thank the organizers, Tony Hope, Dave Stewart, Ted Hore, Peter Cowcola and Heather Sewell for their hard work and dedication in making the festival such a success.
Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, $20,000 is raised each year for local organizations: the library, minor baseball, Girl Guides, Community Living, the Dare program, the Legion, the fall fair youth program and the Elmvale co-op nursery.
On Saturday I will have the opportunity to challenge Mayor John Brown in a log sawing contest. I invite all members to join me in what promises to be a fun filled weekend for the entire family.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Susan Kadis Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada has one of the most respected national police forces in the world. The RCMP is renowned across the globe as a historical symbol of law and order in this country.
Yesterday the deputy leader of the official opposition called into question the integrity of the RCMP, claiming it is not competent. Being the son of a former solicitor general, the comments were even more surprising.
Clearly the Conservatives are willing to attack anyone or anything in the name of political expediency. They have already dragged the charter through the mud, condemned the role of the Supreme Court, and do not support the Canada Health Act, official bilingualism and the federal government's proper place in the Canadian federation.
How many other symbols that are integral to the hearts and minds of Canadians will the Conservatives tear apart in the name of political opportunism?

Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, at the beginning of the sponsorship scandal the Liberals claimed the problem was just a couple of isolated bureaucrats. The political stench coming out of the Gomery inquiry has shown just how misleading this claim was. Still, they want us to believe the same thing about one of their other scandals, Health Canada's dealings with the Virginia Fontaine Addictions Foundation: tens of millions of public dollars misdirected at the highest levels of the department.
Just as they tried with the sponsorships, the Liberals have stonewalled and played down this scandal. They say, "One bureaucrat convicted with a minimal sentence. End of story". That is not good enough. That is not accountability. Lots of questions remain. Who else knew? Why did they not act? How does this fit with the pattern of Liberal corruption and scandals?
Canadians deserve to know. The NDP has repeatedly called for a public inquiry. If the Liberals have nothing to hide, why will they not help us get to the truth and call an inquiry?

Stephen Harper Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, Dalton McGuinty is quoted today as saying the Prime Minister will not meet with him. Mr. McGuinty is a Liberal, and I know the Prime Minister now wants to be careful with which Liberals he associates, but I am sure the Premier of Ontario is not looking for sponsorship money.
Will the Prime Minister meet with Premier McGuinty at the first opportunity?

Long Curls in Messy Men's Shag
This hair is for the confident, modern man who is comfortable in how he looks. Relatively long hair with natural curls ups the messy factor with a wild shag. Collar length hair is styled damply, then cut in a shag that instantly brings out the loose waves and curls as they are shortened. They are then manually picked apart and shaken up, to further emphasize the movement they create. Tousled curls fly and fall in any direction, and a quick run-through with the fingers will actually enhance, not destroy, this look.

Many experts have concluded that, if greenhouse gas concentrations are to be limited while the world's energy demands are nonetheless met, biomass energy will be an indispensable resource. At the same time, climate change is expected to affect agricultural productivity adversely—and 15 percent of people in developing countries, according to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, already suffer from extreme food insecurity. Below, N.H. Ravindranath of India, Roberto Bissio of Uruguay, and José R. Moreira of Brazil consider this question: How can the potential climate mitigation benefits of devoting arable land to the production of biomass energy be achieved without further undermining food security in the developing world?

With this article I'm willing to introduce to you a few new models of 20" LCD monitors from different brands. You'll find here monitors for work and for the home, affordable and not quite, with new widescreen matrixes as well as with the classic aspect ratio of 4:3.
Besides our usual tests, this article features two new sections called Preview and Error Correction. The former is meant for presale samples of monitors that have already been received by our labs, but are not yet polished off by the manufacturer. Such presale samples cannot truly reflect the characteristics or quality of the final product that will soon come out to the market, but I guess you may be interested to learn more information about upcoming products than the standard phrases like "the company showcased such-and-such a monitor at such-and-such an expo and that's all we know about it" you can get from your newswires.
So when we have a chance to put our hands on such presale samples, we will do so to publish a preview focusing on the monitor's exterior design, new functions and expected characteristics, yet we won't test it properly until the release of the final version.
The Error Correction section is about monitors we have tested before, but want to return to once again. For example, the manufacturer has released a new revision of the model that may be free from the drawbacks we found in our earlier tests. We won't publish a full review of the monitor in this case. We will just remind you what problems the monitor had according to our earlier tests and will check out if the manufacturer has done anything about them.
Testing Methodology
Visit the following link for a description of our testing methodology and equipment and an explanation of the specified and measured parameters of LCD monitors. The article is called Xbit Labs Presents: LCD Monitors Testing Methodology Indepth. That article is going to help you if you feel overwhelmed by the numbers and terms used in this roundup.

I originally grew up outside of Albany NY. After completing a B.A. in history from SUNY Cortland, I went on to earn a Ph.D. in African history from Indiana University. My teaching and research interests are broadly defined in both African history and the experience of people of African descent around the world. At SLU I teach survey courses in African history and African studies, upper division classes on constructions of identity and conflict, and seminars on colonial and urban history.
As a specialist in East Africa, I have recently published articles on Kenyan sport history and a co-edited a special issue of The International Journal of African Historical Studies titled "Towards a History of Violence in Colonial Kenya." I have also published articles in African Affairs, Africa Today and History in Africa on topics related to ethnicity in colonial and postcolonial Kenya. With Katherine Luongo I am an the author of Obama and Kenya: Contested Histories and the Politics of Belonging (Ohio University Press, 2016). which examines the ways African and non-African audiences have used controversial readings of Kenya's past to interpret the political ascendency of a U.S. president. I have also written popular critiques about African affairs and study abroad for Africa Is A Country, The Huffington Post, JSTOR Daily, Politico Magazine, Salon,, and The Washington Post.
When not in the classroom or doing research I enjoy working with students on a variety of projects. Outside of the history department I am the coordinator of the African Studies program and I am an active supporter of study abroad on campus. As an alumnus of SLU's Kenya Semester Program (KSP) and the current on-campus coordinator I am always thrilled to talk with students about study abroad in East Africa (so please don't hesitate to contact me). To learn more join the KSP Facebook Group or hear about current student experiences on the official Kenya Semester Program Blog.
My wife Jolene and I also love the outdoors, and been known to cook Kenyan food for students on select occasions. After many years of competing I have also been involved as a volunteer wrestling coach for a number of high-school, college and community programs.
Regularly Taught Courses:
- Intro to African Studies
- Conflict in Africa
- Contemporary Africa
- Representations of Africa: Myth and Reality
- African Life After Work: Sport, Leisure and Society
Research Interest:
- Kenya, East African history, Ethnicity, Sport and Gender.
