BP and the 'Little Eichmanns'
Posted on May 16, 2010
By Chris Hedges
Cultures that do not recognize that human life and the natural world have a sacred dimension, an intrinsic value beyond monetary value, cannibalize themselves until they die. They ruthlessly exploit the natural world and the members of their society in the name of progress until exhaustion or collapse, blind to the fury of their own self-destruction. The oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico, estimated to be perhaps as much as 100,000 barrels a day, is part of our foolish death march. It is one more blow delivered by the corporate state, the trade of life for gold. But this time collapse, when it comes, will not be confined to the geography of a decayed civilization. It will be global.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
The corporations, and those who run them, consume, pollute, oppress and kill. The little Eichmanns who manage them reside in a parallel universe of staggering wealth, luxury and splendid isolation that rivals that of the closed court of Versailles. The elite, sheltered and enriched, continue to prosper even as the rest of us and the natural world start to die. They are numb. They will drain the last drop of profit from us until there is nothing left. And our business schools and elite universities churn out tens of thousands of these deaf, dumb and blind systems managers who are endowed with sophisticated skills of management and the incapacity for common sense, compassion or remorse. These technocrats mistake the art of manipulation with knowledge.
"The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else," Hannah Arendt wrote of "Eichmann in Jerusalem." "No communication was possible with him, not because he lied but because he was surrounded by the most reliable of all safeguards against words and the presence of others, and hence against reality as such."
Our ruling class of technocrats, as John Ralston Saul points out, is effectively illiterate. "One of the reasons that he is unable to recognize the necessary relationship between power and morality is that moral traditions are the product of civilization and he has little knowledge of his own civilization," Saul writes of the technocrat. Saul calls these technocrats "hedonists of power," and warns that their "obsession with structures and their inability or unwillingness to link these to the public good make this power an abstract force—a force that works, more often than not, at cross-purposes to the real needs of a painfully real world."

Karl Polanyi in his book "The Great Transformation," written in 1944, laid out the devastating consequences—the depressions, wars and totalitarianism—that grow out of a so-called self-regulated free market. He grasped that "fascism, like socialism, was rooted in a market society that refused to function." He warned that a financial system always devolved, without heavy government control, into a Mafia capitalism—and a Mafia political system—which is a good description of our corporate government. Polanyi warned that when nature and human beings are objects whose worth is determined by the market, then human beings and nature are destroyed. Speculative excesses and growing inequality, he wrote, always dynamite the foundation for a continued prosperity and ensure "the demolition of society."

The short version of this column is "corporations suck". It's the same column Hedges writes every week, much like the same movie Michael Moore makes over and over. Hedges should just copy-paste those two words for each column instead of composing an overabundance of extraneous circumlocution. It would save more pixels for future generations.

The oil spill in the Gulf has already been forgotten. Our 15 minute attention span does not allow for prolonged crises. The headlines today are that the oil is being siphoned through a long tube. Problem solved - on to the next disaster. Within the next week or so the media and especially the leftist bloggers will be severely criticized for trying to make the spill out to be worse than it was and BP will be praised for their response to it. They might even use film footage of the spill in future advertising. "BP - taking care of our environment."

And the oil companies existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you keeps people with Fuel.
Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want them to provide that Fuel.
You need them to provide that Fuel.

"Bohm believes that humans are capable of an evolution of mind. We are ready to step out of the box of limited thinking, and adopt a higher conciousness."
While it seems true that if you change your mind your bootie will follow, it's not so simple—as the 60s generation showed. A split between mind change and action is the problem but finding the secret sauce that has balance is the trick.
Chris if you read this, we won't "take the planet down" but we can take much of life on the planet down with us. There's a difference.
We are arrogant about our abilities, and ignorant even beyond what Chris notes. We're just beginning to see the part played by climate change in human development and the rise and fall of civilations.

Thank you for that powerful painstaking glimpse of how the world is perceived by us "naturalist", connection to the great architect dwells in nature and beyond. What can people do who is witnessing the decline of our quality of life and possibly the onset of the "new world order"? Don't worry Mother Earth will rejuvenate herself after the damages, but one thing these lil eichmanns fail to grasps-this system is inter dependent on other systems within our galaxy. They(eichmanns) will lose. "Feel the vibrations of the discontent". When the smoke clears some us will still be standing…I have faith in this universe we live in and homostasis must be maintained at all cost.

Polanyi said "socialism" is rooted in a market society? And, eir, Oscar Hammerstein wrote the lyric "You've got to be carefully taught."
By Kong, May 17, 2010 at 6:18 am Link to this comment
Inherit the wind said:
I think Hedges considers a down-scaling of central bureaucracy and a return to a plurality at a local level of governance to be part of the answer. Whether the forms of government these municipalities (city-states?) take is another matter, though much of Hedges' writing is socialist in nature so that's the form I'd wager if I had to guess. Diluting power would minimize inherent corruption that seeps into any structure.
One can reference Marx without advocating communism. After all, the man got a lot of things right and his materialistic perspective was as revolutionary as the dehumanizing industrial forces that inspired it.

Unless we "emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind" a refrain from Bob Marley's Redemption Song, which means, as mentioned in other comments, we need a change in consciousness and become engaged in living with mindfulness, the ability to discern our own thoughts and the thoughts of others from facts. Mindfulness is the emancipation of the song. American society has been forged into mindlessness, narcissistic, consumerist, gluttons unable to discern even their own thoughts from facts. Mindlessness is institutionized by the governements,businesses[through advertising]and the false doctrines of the pretend christians as well as other religions. This institutionization legitimizes mindlessness through obedience. Shoe removal at airports is obedience training for adults.

This BRAND NEW 32GB Model WILL Sell Out Today!
It WILL Happen To Everyone!
Backups Are The ONLY Way To Prevent Losing Your Data!
"But Steve... It's a PAIN To Backup!!"
The Lexar Echo 32GB Backup Drive!
It Does EVERYTHING For You!
Completely Automatic Backups!
Let The Flash Drive Do All The Work!
Plug It In! You're 99% Done!
(It Even Shows How Much Space You've Used!)
Hard Drives ALWAYS Crash!
There's only a few guarantees in life. Your hard drive crashing is one of those guarantees.
When they go, they take EVERYTHING they had with 'em!
What do you do when your hard drive crashes?
Well, there's two possible reactions...
If you guessed the one on the right... correct!
Why's she so happy? Because getting all her files back was THIS easy:
You simply take your handy Lexar 32GB back up flash drive and plug it into any computer. It automatically loads the files you backed up and you can get them ready to use again.
You don't lose a single file, and you don't spend the weekend wishing you had printed those vacation photos that you'll never get back.
Who would YOU prefer to be in that scenario?
There's only ONE reason not to back up data:
It USED to be hard.
It took a lot of time, it took expensive hardware or software, and it took some tech-savvy. You had to know file extensions, directories, the whole works.
It's literally as easy as clicking your mouse!
See below:
The Lexar 32GB Instant Backup Flash Drive!
NO extra software. NO long set up. NO time consuming steps. All you do is plug it in and pick what you need to backup!
Could it BE any easier?
The first time you pop it in, it lets you choose automatic or specific folders. That's all there is to it! Your files are backed up and you're safe from disaster!
What's great is that it keeps ALL of your directories and folders right in the order you have them on your PC. So you'll know EXACTLY where to find them on the flash drive or after you back them up to another PC!
Think about everything you have on your computer: TONS of photos. ALL of your favorite music. Family videos and contact information.
How about work documents, important files, sensitive documents. Even your passwords, e-mails, favorite web pages... EVERYTHING!
After a crash, you can't get those photos back. The videos are now distant memories. And your passwords? Good luck remembering the ones you haven't had to type in for years.
And with backing up this easy, you won't even have to think about it!
This DEFINES User Friendly!
Ultra Sleek, Ultra Secure, ULTRA FAST!
It looks, feels, and acts just like your standard flash drive (of course, standard flash drives can't hold a candle to this one) so you know it's gonna be easy and lightweight to move or store.
Plus, it has a retractable connector so you ALSO know it's gonna stay safe from any potential accidents!
That's right - Just drag and drop files to it and use it like any other flashdrive! Talk about the best of both worlds!!
Take it anywhere! Back up any PC or laptop! Use it for EVERYTHING!
And if you're looking for fast, this thing is gonna BLOW YOU AWAY!
This flash drive is part of the Lexar "Ultra" series, their fastest USB 2.0 drives out there.
Simply put? USB 2.0 has NEVER been faster!
Last but not least: IT'S SECURE!
When you back up anything on this drive, you can choose to encrypt it and guard it with a password of your choice! Nobody but you or those you trust get access to YOUR files.
So all your tax, financial, and confidential documents? You can back them up too without worrying! FINALLY!
All those passwords on your PC don't mean a thing if you don't have SECURE backups.
But with this Lexar, it's not a problem.
A Backup Drive For UNDER $33! WOW!
If you go anywhere to try and get a backup drive, you'll be looking $40 for the BARE MINIMUM! And those are bulky, heavy external hard drives that you really can't move or store.
I'd like to add... the ones I got in to test have quickly became my new backup drives for my photos and music. They're just so easy and useful!
You will NOT find a faster, more convenient backup drive out there for just $32.97 with FREE US SHIPPING anywhere else!
These are simply one of the coolest devices I've ever seen. PLEASE don't miss out on this deal. We only have so many and once they're gone... that's it.
Please Note: Styles May Vary

very useful tool
By oretsina

Comments about oreilly Photoshop CS5: The Missing Manual:
I only have one screen, so I don't have enough screen real estate to watch little videos that show snippets of how to use some element of the interface. I checked out several books at the bookstore and this one seemed to be the most comprehensive. Since I've been thrust into doing graphics at work, this book has already earned its keep. I am learning a LOT! It even explains how to communicate with printers concerning 4-color print jobs, something I'm finding not many people know how to do. I value my purchases for the useful information they impart, and my ability to find and use that information successfully. I disagree with the other reviewer who rated the book poorly because of the book's writing and organization; it was not an impediment. However, a bit of information on tablet use would be welcome; I know a few photographers who use them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Missing manual is missing quite a lot
By Mac user
from Colorado Springs, CO
About Me Developer
Although reasonably organized and containing a fair amount of information, this is definitely not for someone who is learning PS CS5 (which begs the question of who it is written for). Instead of an included CD/DVD with example and practice files. the reader is referred to a web site that contains well over 100 separate links to download. Assuming a reader has the patience to download them all, the files are not all that useful, since there is little information given in the text. On page 88, for example, the reader is introduced to layers, where duplicating and copying are used to enhance a file. Unfortunately, all that is given in the text is the starting and ending picture, with no steps or explanation of how to get from one place to another (isolate a segment on the background layer, copy it and expand the canvas size to add it in, maintain the background color and size, etc.). This continues throughout the book, where practice examples are few and far between, and not all that useful when they do appear.If you're an experienced PS CS5 user, you don't need this book. If you're just starting out, it provides very few useful examples, and you're probably better off looking elsewhere.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great for Beginners!

About Me PhotographerDigiscrapper
I have used PSE 6 and 8 for a while and decided to upgrade to CS5. While things are somewhat similar, there are many different things.There are so many things to learn This book for me, is one of the easiest if not the best guide for starting out in Photoshop.The very best things about this book are:1. It is so easy to follow and understand. No techinical mumbo jumbo to clutter my mind! Just straight to the point info with plenty of examples. There is soooo much to learn about this monster called Photoshop and too much technical stuff gives me brain freeze!I purchased another Photoshop how to guide and no matter how I tried I just could not follow it. I was soo confused!2. Organization. I love the way the book is organized. It starts out at the beginning with the very bone basics! It assumes you know nothing about the program, and builds from there. It breaks everything down into sections that are easy to digest!I keep this book with me and practice the techniques as I read. I highlight, make notes, reread and then try the techniques again. That helps me retain what I just read.The only things that bothered me about the book is that it is written from the Mac point of view. All of the Mac instructions and picture shots kind of took me a while to get used to. I wish there would have been a separate book for Windows. It's not bad, just a personal thing.Another thing is that I wish there were more specific instructions for Digital Scrapbookers, and Photographers. I know there is a page suggesting the best use of the books for photographers, but a bit more detail would have been nice.Overall I think this book is the best book for beginners in Photoshop. It is soo easy to follow and understand. I would and do recommend it to my friends using Photoshop.
Not up to par with other Missing Manuals
By Jeffrey S.

About Me Photographer
The book's acknowledgments give credit to "all the brave little grapes who so valiantly sacrificed their lives so this book could be written." It certainly appears to be an accurate dedication given the rambling and disjointed prose that inflicts this book. Perhaps the author should have passed on the wine and paid more attention to writing.The author's tongue-in-cheek, often flippant, handling of the material in the book makes it hard to take anything presented seriously or as coming from someone with expertise in the subject matter. Many areas are given short shrift, such as color management and third party add-ons. The book also has a rather jumpy sort of style to it. Many things are briefly mentioned then the reader is referred to a latter part of the book (in some cases the reader must jump around in the book several times to get a clear understanding of what the author is attempting to get across). This style might work with other subject matter, but Photoshop is just too involved for that sort of almost constant redirectional approach. As far as positives go, there are some good examples of usage of some difficult tools that many are intimidated by (pen tool for example).While I'd view the book as an asset, the overly casual writing style, jumpy organization, and lack of depth in several key areas make this a book I can't recommend. There are much better efforts on the subject matter available.

About Me Amateur, Newsletter editor
Photoshop CS5 The Missing Manual is the book you should buy first and will refer to most often. It is well and clearly written so that you don't need to read some other book to understand this one. Excellent and complete tutorials teach you how to use the most important tools. It is well organized and referenced so you can find what you need to know when you need it, It is also interesting and pleasant reading.You will refer to Photoshop CS5 The Missing Manual the most because it covers all the Photoshop concepts and information you need, and because it is so well organized. There is a special listing for photographers of the material they will need.

French Rioters Come To Antarctica
Fake News that's honestly fake

• Indexes • Random story
PARIS: ANTARCTICA — Bored with peace and the EARTH, the "calm/sane" French Rioters in Paris decided to heat things up on the cold isle of Antarctica. Having burned all the cars there (total of 1), they turned to the Linux factory. Unfortunately, the darned thing building would not burn. High on gasoline and cognac fumes the wild mob started to molest penguins by the dozen. The dawn (6 months later) found rioters and several billions survived penguins fighting over the last remaining fish. Aphids were watching the whole thing from the distance with mild interest.
In the morning Linus Torvalds and the caring little PM John Howard flew in on unicycle to inspect the damage. Seeing that there was no reason to raise kernel panic he flew back to his secret headquarters
in Redmond, Microsoft Way 1. He did take some fresh penguin corpses which will be sold as Linux action figures, primarily for ages two and up (On Sale Now).

The S.L.o.T. Features Ted Rees: 'Some Notes Regarding the Nature Poem…'
Timeless, Infinite Light (publisher of spells for the unraveling of capitalism, such as Amy Berkowitz's Tender Points, Zoe Tuck's Terror Matrix, and Paul Ebenkamp's The Louder the Room the Darker the Screen) has recently started a new blog called The S.L.o.T., so-called after The Second Law of Thermodynamics, engaged with entropy and work. The S.L.o.T. began with writings by Brittany Billmeyer-Finn, it has since moved on to work by Ted Rees. His first essay explores nature poetry, by way of Jasmine Gibson's writings. Subscribe! Read on:
1. I'd like to assert that the 'nature poem,' or at least the formation of the definition of the 'nature poem' as it is currently used by many poets, is outdated. In a recent poem, the brilliant Jasmine Gibson writes:
Isn't it funny when editors ask for you to write about 'nature' or what 'comes natural' to you in your environment
When in face the concept of nature is bourgeois 18th century not meant for you to ingest
And the fact that nature poems are the class enemy
And cement cages by tainted water and fields to work are what you know
And so we arrive at a truth: man-made ecosystems—and they are ecosystems, part of larger ecosystems of unfathomable immensity—are brutal places, created through racist ideologies like slavery and kept intact by the unremitting logics of extraction and domination, of capital. But how are we to address these depredations and this violence in our writing without writing 'nature poems'? How to talk about Flint's "tainted water" or First Nation's lands' "tainted water" without addressing water? Can we even speak of the horrors of slavery and "fields to work" without detailing fields, their formations? It is my belief that we can't have poetic discourse about ecological crisis, much less racist and state-sponsored violence, without writing 'nature poems,' and thus, the understanding of the 'nature poem' must be radically reorganized, not so as to blank out the history of the term (however hegemonic it might be), but in order to reclaim the nature poem's power to incite rage, excite possibilities of freedom from capital, and inspire deeper understandings of the ecosystems to which we belong, no matter how necrotic they have become.

A) Assessed the problem,You and yours are welcome at my dinner table any day. Do not let anyone ever demean what you did. I suspect that you did not have any choice but than honorable men rarely do. You did the only thing you could, the right thing
B) Identified yourself
C) Intervened appropriately and deescalated the situation
For my part I would hope that I conduct myself as well in the same scenario. I would like to think so but than there is that saying no man is sure of his courage until his death. My family would expect nothing less of me. My wife knows who I am, it's why she agreed to marry me. In that scenario I have no doubt my wife would handle herself well enough that any illegal that approached her would wish they had decided deal with my two oars and not her .380. If I drove away from a scene like that there is no doubt in my mind she would immediately offer me some of her panties to wear and never ever let me live it down.
bgriffin70 Thank You.

The Pac-12 eases into the football season this weekend, with all 12 teams in action but only one of them facing another Power 5 school (California, visiting Northwestern). The list of opponents also includes five FCS teams, four Mountain West teams and two other FBS teams, spread over three days. A look at Thursday's schedule:
Idaho State at Utah, 5:30 p.m. MDT, Pac-12 Networks.
Rice-Eccles Stadium already has become a traditional season-opening venue for the Pac-12 Networks. This is hardly a marquee matchup, but there's some intrigue about Ute quarterback Travis Wilson's return to the field (his last game was Nov. 9 vs. Arizona State) and the look of offensive coordinator Dave Christensen's fast-paced scheme. The final score is almost irrelevant, but Utah's first-half point total will give us some gauge of the offense's performance. Utah 59, Idaho State 14.<

The hippocampi or hippocampus (plural: hippocampi; , from ἵππος, "horse" and κάμπος, "monster"[1] [2]), often called a sea-horse[3] in English, is a mythological creature shared by Phoenician[4] and Greek mythology, though the name by which it is recognised is purely Greek; it became part of Etruscan mythology. It has typically been depicted as a horse in its forepart with a coiling, scaly, fishlike hindquarter.
Homer described Poseidon, who was god of horses (Poseidon Hippios) as well as of the sea, drawn by "brazen-hoofed" horses over the sea's surface, and Apollonius of Rhodes, being consciously archaic in Argonautica (iv.1353ff), describes the horse of Poseidon emerging from the sea and galloping away across the Libyan sands.[5] In Hellenistic and Roman imagery, however, Poseidon (or Roman Neptune) often drives a sea-chariot drawn by hippocampi. Thus hippocamps sport with this god in both ancient depictions and much more modern ones, such as in the waters of the eighteenth-century Trevi Fountain in Rome surveyed by Neptune from his niche above. (illustration, left below)
The appearance of hippocampi in both freshwater and saltwater is counter-intuitive to a modern audience, though not to an ancient one. The Greek picture of the natural hydrological cycle did not take account of the condensation of atmospheric water as rain to replenish the water table, but imagined the refreshening of the waters of the sea oozing back landwards through vast underground caverns and aquifers, rising replenished and freshened in springs.[6]
Thus it was natural for a temple at Helike in the coastal plain of Achaea to be dedicated to Poseidon Helikonios, (the Poseidon of Helicon), the sacred spring of Boeotian Helikon.[7] When an earthquake suddenly submerged the city, the temple's bronze Poseidon accompanied by hippocampi continued to snag fishermens' nets.[8] Likewise, the hippocamp was considered an appropriate decoration for mosaics in Roman thermae or public baths, as at Aquae Sulis modern day Bath in Britannia (illustration, below).
Poseidon's horses, which were included in the elaborate sculptural program of gilt-bronze and ivory, added by a Roman client to the temple of Poseidon at Corinth, are likely to have been hippocampi; the Romanised Greek Pausanias described the rich ensemble in the later second century AD (Geography of Greece ii.1.7-.8):
Within the sanctuary of the god stand on the one side portrait statues of athletes who have won victories at the Isthmian games, on the other side pine trees growing in a row, the greater number of them rising up straight. On the temple, which is not very large, stand bronze Tritons. In the fore-temple are images, two of Poseidon, a third of Amphitrite, and a Sea, which also is of bronze. The offerings inside were dedicated in our time by Herodes Atticus, four horses, gilded except for the hoofs, which are of ivory, and two gold Tritons beside the horses, with the parts below the waist of ivory. On the car stand Amphitrite and Poseidon, and there is the boy Palaemon upright upon a dolphin. These too are made of ivory and gold. On the middle of the base on which the car is has been wrought a Sea holding up the young Aphrodite, and on either side are the nymphs called Nereids.

Hippocamps appear with the first Orientalising phase of Etruscan civilization: they remain a theme in Etruscan tomb wall-paintings and reliefs, where they are sometimes provided with wings, as they are in the Trevi fountain. Katharine Shepard found in the theme an Etruscan belief in a sea-voyage to the other world[9]
Aside from aigikampoi, the fish-tailed goats representing Capricorn or Aegeus ("goat-man")[10] other fish-tailed animals rarely appearing in Greek art but more characteristic of the Etruscans included leokampoi (fish-tailed lions), taurokampoi (fish-tailed bulls) or pardalokampoi (fish-tailed leopards).[11]
The mythic hippocamp has been used as a heraldic charge, particularly since the Renaissance, most often in the armorial bearings of people and places with maritime associations. However, in a blazon, the terms hippocamp and hippocampus now refer to the real animal called a seahorse, and the terms seahorse and sea-horse refer to the mythological creature. The above-mentioned fish hybrids are seen less frequently.[12]

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Helen Love
Helen Love's next step was the 10" EP Summer Pop/Punk Pop, a five-song celebration of "Summer Pop Radio" and related activities that are like a '90s U.K. indie answer to the Beach Boys' Summer Days (And Summer Nights). Released in 1995, the "Bubblegum" single introduced a new trick into the group's repertoire by unashamedly nicking the chorus from the Specials' "Much Too Young" for the flip, "Let's Go." The three-song Ahead of the Race CD-EP introduced the group to the digital era with a slightly mellower sound, but 1996's Beat Him Up was punkier than anything since the group's debut. The group's final release for Damaged Goods, the four-song We Love You EP, was probably their strongest work, but a dispute with the label led to the group signing with the slightly larger Che imprint in 1997. The resulting EPs, Does Your Heart Go Boom and Long Live the UK Music Scene, were made without Sheena, but she was back on board for the group's first full-length album, 2000's Love and Glitter, Hot Days and Muzik. The album was reissued a year later by Damaged Goods with extra tracks added.
Apart from a holiday single (a cover of Joey Ramone and Debbie Harry's "Merry Christmas I Don't Want to Fight"), the group was quiet until the release of the Bubblegum Killers EP in 2005. Helen Love's next single, 2006's "Junk Shop Discotheque," was their first for new label Elefant. They followed it up with the vocoder-heavy It's My Club and I'll Play What I Want To in early 2008. After another single in 2009 ("Calm Down Dad"), the band took a bit of a break from recording. When they resurfaced in the summer of 2013 with a new single, "Atomic," the group sported a new synth pop-influenced sound to go with their pogo-ready punk-pop. Their fourth album, Day-Glo Dreams, was released by Elefant in July of 2013 and followed by a Christmas single, "Hark the Herald Angels," later that year. After two more singles for Elefant in 2014, "Pogo Pogo," and "Where Dylan Thomas Talks to Me," a tribute to Welsh poets Dylan Thomas, Vernon Watkins, and Nigel Jenkins, the group moved over to a new label, Alcopop! to release the 2016 album Smash Hits. ~ Stewart Mason & Tim Sendra

Hey, now first off I'd like to apologise, because you must get people asking 'what camera should I get' all the time, but I feel I'm a slightly unique case.. Ive done hours of research and keep finding a camera I like, then changing my mind and starting again, so I hope you guys could help me. Right now I have a crappy point and shoot camera, but Id like to move up to a more advanced camera. I've had my eye on the Panasonic TZ10, and I guess the only reason I havent bought it is because it doesnt have a viewfinder and I want something a little more advanced. I dont really know a great deal about photography, but I want a camera that will last me a long time once I learn how to use all the different settings and features to their advantage.. So I guess Im looking for a superzoom, compact camera which has advanced features and a viewfinder, that Won't dissapoint me. Money isnt really a problem for me, i guess I wouldnt spend anymore than £350, but £200-£300 is about what I'm looking to spend.. Are there any cameras that would tick all the boxes or is the TZ10 the closest I'll get? Thanks
P.S. Sorry for the essay of a post..

Re: XLR Seat covers
Wow, it's sad to think that parts like that are already unavailable. You might check with your local Cadillac dealer. If they don't have one in stock, they should be able to search for other parts departments that still have one. If not, ebay or a wrecking yard might be an option.
Re: XLR Seat covers
Why don't you give GMPartsHouse.Com a try. A friend in KY just replaced his drivers seat covers last October and got his parts from them.

F30 335i Spied on the Nürburgring Again!
There is a set of new spy shots of the next generation F30 335i doing laps at the Nürburgring. With production coming in the not too distant future (November 2011), it looks like BMW is taking to the ring once again to see what the next generation 3 series has in terms of performance.
Here are the pictures for your enjoyment!

Nice RFTs
The next step in advancing the company's belief in the RFT paradigm is to advance the tire-makers' willingness to offer protocols for safe repair that even BMW's legal team would allow it's service departments to perform. And the tire dealers should offer repair services themselves. That multiple RFTs need to be purchased for a single tire's damage is becoming a rumor that could evolve into an annoyance if it should be true. BMW engineers may indeed be enabling this irritation to flourish. What a shame.
I agree. A major problem with run flats is that minor repairable problems necessitate total replacement. On my 550i the tires are over $420 installed. There has to be way for BMW to join the rest of the world and come up with standards for repairing RFT tires with fixable issues. Independent tire dealers repair RFT routinely. I do not understand why BMW will only consider tire replacement.
And some tire dealers themselves, like Bridgestone, won't touch a repair request. I would think that tire makers who want to compete more effectively in the growing RFT market would advance a repair service as part of the high (read: over-) priced cost to the consumer at time of purchase. Or bundle a repair option that, at a reasonable price-point, could be contractually attached to the life of the tire.

Yesterday during a Build session, Microsoft software engineer Polita Paulus held a session on what it means for developers to upgrade their apps for Windows 8.1. While current Windows 8 apps will of course run just fine on 8.1, developers interested in taking advantage of the new code base will need to recompile their app and add or modify a few lines of code.
Like all OS updates, those of you who are straight up consumers just want to know, what does it mean for me? We know already that in 8.1 the "snap view" is basically gone in the sense that predefined sizes (1/3 or 2/3 of the display) are no longer required. That means you can drag and resize multiple "snapped" windows to whatever size you want.

Owned one for a while. Nice gun. Built like a tank. Would carry like one, too.

Owned one for a while. Nice gun. Built like a tank. Would carry like one, too.
Yes, they are reliable and accurate out of the box. Fun to shoot, but personally I would not use one for concealed carry.
The most common issue with these is the trigger reset spring breaking. The factory spring is thin and weak. I replaced mine with a aftermarket coil-type spring and it fixed the issue.
The M9/92 is a very reliable and accurate handgun. They have proven themselves for the past 20 something years being the military's sidearm. Most owners use them as a home defense pistol because of their size and weight but some of us also carry a 92, it's no bigger or heavier than a 1911. Another plus, large capacity mags holding 17rds of 9mm.
Welcome to Tennessee, the patron state of shootin' stuff.--SHOOTER
I really like mine as well. I've NEVER had any type of malfunction with it. I use it as my truck gun. I also use the meg-gar semi flush fit 20rd mags for it. Its too big for me to carry, but like I said, its my truck gun.
Jesus said "and if you dont have a sword (AK), sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36
I've carried an M9 in Afghanistan. The M9 in and of itself is ok, the Nato 9mm ammo that we used had !NO! stopping power, fortunately my roof gunner had my back. He was intent on dying and taking us with him, the rounds just were not jarring him back. Roof mounted Belt fed 240b stopped him cold. I will never trust a 9mm with my life again. I have never shot anyone with a .45acp but the Spec Ops guys trusted it more than the 9mm, that is enough for me.
The reason the Military is going with the M9 over the 1911 is because it is a NATO round so we can use the same ammo as the allies, strictly logistical/political decision. Had nothing to do with a noble argument of stopping power vs no of rounds in mag.

Personal experiences may vary but I know the trigger return spring issue is by no means an isolated one. For example the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) replaced all of their trigger return springs on their issued 92's with a custom coil unit from Wolff. I have personally seen the return spring break on at least 3 Beretta's other than my own. Mine failed after about 500 rounds. One guy at the range who had just picked up his brand new 92 had it break on him half way through his first magazine.I've been around Berettas for many years and have never heard of this one or had a reset spring break. Since the military just ordered another 16,000 M9's to take them through the year 2010, I wouldn't think that they have had this problem either. Maybe it was a bad batch of springs for a few guns and you just happen to get one.
I don't believe this makes the 92/96 a bad weapon. It's just a common problem that one should be made aware of when purchasing. Replacing it with the Wolff conversion unit is a quick and cheap fix and is good insurance against it failing at the wrong time.
From what I understand you are absolutely correct. BUT, isnt that statement based on FMJ? I think the higher end 9mm hollow points are quite respectable. I believe I read that the DeCalb County Sherriffs Department carry 9mm and love them. Most of Atlanta is in that county I think, so Im sure they're exposed to alot of shootings. Of course they're not using FMJ either. I think they're using Federal's 9BP loading. Just my assumption Kevin.
Jesus said "and if you dont have a sword (AK), sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36
I normally love logical arguments, I hate emotional ones. We could argue the .45acp/9mm debate till the cows come home. But this one is personal and emotional. You may be right about the high end 9mm hollow points, but I will not be able to trust them when the time comes. Purely Psychological.
BTW: I keep my pal Mr Colt fed with Winchester Silvertip Hollowpoints.

"The other reliability concern is the trigger return spring. Replacing it is a simple task and cheap insurance" -- Pistol-Training.com"This product was developed at the request of INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), the largest federal law enforcement agency in the country, to solve the problem of trigger spring breakage in their duty weapons." -- Wolff"We have seen a number of cases of the trigger return spring breaking under heavy use. We recommend the factory spring be replaced" -- Bill Wilson, IDPA Founder
Here's another take: The 9mm round was never really designed with stopping or killing in mind, just as the 7.62x39 round was. It was designed to wound primarily, because that takes up more battlefield resources if you have a wounded soldier.
On the other hand, John Moses originally designed the 1911 around the .45acp chambering a 200 grain bullet. The military went to a 230 grain bullet because of the cavalry requirement that the pistol had to be capable of bringing down a horse at full gallop at a distance of 25 yards. To date, I don't think the military ever owned up to how they did the testing, but I am sure if they did that nowadays, the Kentucky derby fiasco would pale by comparison.
So, in summary, you have one round designed to wound a person or kill them with a well placed shot, the other designed to kill a horse-sized animal.
Choice seems pretty clear on that one......

The problem that applies to both self defense and today's battlefield against Radical Islam is that they do not care about the injured. A car dropping off 3 people to rob a house, shooting starts and the uninjured flee leaving the injured to go to jail. On the Battlefield of today they go in prepared to die, if the person next to them gets shot, it is just incentive to get closer before they die. Our enemies do not care about human life weather it is theirs, their comrades or innocent civilians. So we are right back to needing the raw stopping power on the battlefield again.

9mm vs. .45 debate will go on forever.
Inspector is right-not from the standpoint of saying one cartridge is better than the other, but if you read between the lines and see he preffers the .45 to the 9mm then thats all that matters. Personal prefference and competency with the chosen platform is all that matters.
One uses the military argument or horse argument or what ever argument vs. somebody uses the Virginia Tech argument. I don't see the point in argueing opinions on something that really doesn't determine the outcome of a shooting.
In the end shot placement is really what counts when your dealing with a pistol cartridge that is moving relativly slow. Since a .22LR is technically a lethal cartridge (and I'm not sure how you measure lethality? Isn't Dead considered Dead? Compared to a Rifle bullet which can create differn't effects then a slow moving pistol bullet.
IIRC Even the late great Jeff Cooper said there is "NO" pistol cartridge adequate for defense against a human target. Thats why he was a big advacate of a rifle or shotgun.
I see extremes on both sides of the argument and recognize both; however, looking at the entire picture. 9mm beats a .45 hands down.
Logistics (ammo availbility) Who was the General that said "Amateurs talk tactics Experts Talk logistics?"
Reliability (not only shooting reliability but life time reliability from an armorers prospective) again this can become a logistic issue causing huge problems. Record service life for a 9mm is much higher then a .45 ACP.
Ability to make fast follow up shots and control them.
Cost of each unit and Time associated to make somebody profecient with a platform vs the other, again this is can be a logistic issue.
Again the user and his or her effectivenes is 99.9% of the equation not the equipment but for all the other issues issues out there the 9mm will pretty much win hands down from a cost, reliability (Again I'm talking life time depreciation of the unit), and training for people across the board.
As for the original question I love my 92 f/s wouldn't carry it concealed. I.e to heavy bulky. Theres beauty in plastic!
Its not about guns...Its about Freedom!

HIDDEN – a project that worked
I would like to share with you the story of Hidden – a project that was developed by a student in the 11th grade under the umbrella of Adobe Youth Voices and iEARN. This project then grew naturally into a bigger project as the result of a 10th grade student.
Let me start first by showing you the video – Hidden – by Robin.
PhotoShop – "Creating the images"
We had been learning about the artist, David Hockney, and had practised 'squaring off' some images in PhotoShop using the following tutorial:
Robin then saved various layers, and combinations of layers, as jpegs for inclusion into Adobe Premiere Elements.
Adobe Youth Voices and iEARN – "Student in charge"
Adobe Youth Voices is a global philanthropic initiative to empower youth. Svetlana Yakubovskaya from Minsk, Belarus and Juan_Domingo Martinez from Esquel, Argentina led a great online course with 20 or so other educators from around the globe. Then the students and I started our plans for the media projects. It was a challenge for us all to agree on a plan and we changed the plans as we moved through the process. Students finally decided to create their own media arts pieces out of their previous work in Media Arts class. All the results have been posted on the YMCA Academy YouTube channel.
Robin believes that art should not be hidden for only people with money to see. He sees graffiti as a form of art that is available to all.
I believe his work is so successful for several reasons. This project was his. He owned it. He created the idea. He had the passion. He had the motivation. He wrote the rap. He composed the music. He performed it. He struggled with the contradictions. He overcame the ambiguities. He was in charge and maintained focus and effort until completion.
Once posted to the Adobe and iEARN websites, Sasa Sirk from Slovenia contacted me. She is a teacher who is running a graffiti project called Listen to the Walls Talking – an iEARN project. She asked if Robin would be interested in collating some of the works of other graffiti artists from the project. He agreed.
Google Earth as a Multimedia Tool – "Now it gets interesting!"
However, Alex (10th grade) and Robin joined forces and decided to take some previous knowledge of Google Earth and produce a multimedia Google Earth tour of graffiti sites from the Listen to the Walls Talking project. Again, their idea…their initiative. Their passion. To see their results (a work in progress!), download this kmz file, double click it, and Google Earth will open up. Click on the various sites in the sidebar and then click on the placemark to see the artwork from that location. (Here's how to do that.) In some cases, you will see 'street view' of that location as well. (See McDougall Lane in Toronto for an example.) Please be aware that this is a rough draft of an adventure in learning. We, by no stretch, understand the intricacies of Google Earth at this point.
But, as we often say here, "Just go for it! Take charge!"

Dear Peter, Alex and Robin –
I downloaded your kmz file the second I learnt about it. Google Earth opened up zooming in on my part of the world – with 3 lovely green houses marking locations of Ljubljana, Zagreb and Sagrado Walls Talking photos – it's so cool to connect dots from this perspective – scattered here and there on our lovely planet, which is so full of amazing discoveries and creative people. Thank you so much for sharing your Google Earth explorations, for including the graffiti photos from the Walls Talking group, for making our little planet really really small for awhile :-))). Imagine the possibilities if everything was geotagged! I spinned our globe over to your end of the world, enjoyed Robin's Hidden and felt as if I can reach you guys and grab you by your sleeves and say what a great job! Thanks a lot!

"With recent advances in extended reach horizontal drilling, combined with the time-tested technology of hydraulic fracturing – a process in use for more than 60 years – we can now find and produce unconventional natural gas supplies miles below the surface in a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible manner," his testimony states.
The increasing viability of shale gas has helped boost proved reserves in the U.S. to their highest level in over 30 years, according to the federal Energy Information Administration.
But environmentalists are fearful that increased use of "fracking" – which involves high-pressure injections of chemicals, water and sand to break apart rock formations – will pollute water supplies.
Exxon, in paperwork on the XTO acquisition filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, says it will back out of the deal if Congress makes fracking "illegal or commercially impractical."
Several Democrats are seeking expanded oversight and regulation. Bills introduced in both chambers would require regulation of the practice under the Safe Drinking Water Act and disclosure of chemicals used.
Tillerson's testimony says the merger would "create the opportunity for more jobs and investment" in natural gas production, and touts the environmental attributes of natural gas. Burning natural gas emits far less carbon dioxide than oil and coal.
The testimony also calls for "stable tax and regulatory policies."

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
This document describes the current GATK coding standards for documentation and unit testing. The overall goal is that all functions be well documented, have unit tests, and conform to the coding conventions described in this guideline. It is primarily meant as an internal reference for team members, but we are making it public to provide an example of how we work. There are a few mentions of specific team member responsibilities and who to contact with questions; please just disregard those as they will not be applicable to you.
The Genome Analysis Toolkit generally follows Java coding standards and good practices, which can be viewed at Sun's site.
The original coding standard document for the GATK was developed in early 2009. It remains a reasonable starting point but may be superseded by statements on this page (available as a PDF).
Code in the GATK should be structured into clear, simple, and testable functions. Clear means that the function takes a limited number of arguments, most of which are values not modified, and in general should return newly allocated results, as opposed to directly modifying the input arguments (functional style). The max. size of functions should be approximately one screen's worth of real estate (no more than 80 lines), including inline comments. If you are writing functions that are much larger than this, you must refactor your code into modular components.
Do not duplicate code. If you are finding yourself wanting to make a copy of functionality, refactor the code you want to duplicate and enhance it. Duplicating code introduces bugs, makes the system harder to maintain, and will require more work since you will have a new function that must be tested, as opposed to expanding the tests on the existing functionality.
Functions must be documented following the javadoc conventions. That means that the first line of the comment should be a simple statement of the purpose of the function. Following that is an expanded description of the function, such as edge case conditions, requirements on the argument, state changes, etc. Finally comes the @param and @return fields, that should describe the meaning of each function argument, restrictions on the values allowed or returned. In general, the return field should be about types and ranges of those values, not the meaning of the result, as this should be in the body of the documentation.
The GATK uses Contracts for Java to help us enforce code quality during testing. See CoFoJa for more information. If you've never programmed with contracts, read their excellent description Adding contracts to a stack. Contracts are only enabled when we are testing the code (unittests and integration tests) and not during normal execution, so contracts can be reasonably expensive to compute. They are best used to enforce assumptions about the status of class variables and return results.
Contracts are tricky when it comes to input arguments. The best practice is simple:
Below is an example private function that makes good use of input argument contracts:
* Helper function to write out a IGV formatted line to out, at loc, with values
* http://www.broadinstitute.org/software/igv/IGV
* @param out a non-null PrintStream where we'll write our line
* @param loc the location of values
* @param featureName string name of this feature (see IGV format)
* @param values the floating point values to associate with loc and feature name in out
"out != null",
"loc != null",
"values.length > 0"
private void printIGVFormatRow(final PrintStream out, final GenomeLoc loc, final String featureName, final double ... values) {
// note that start and stop are 0 based, but the stop is exclusive so we don't subtract 1
out.printf("%s\t%d\t%d\t%s", loc.getContig(), loc.getStart() - 1, loc.getStop(), featureName);
for ( final double value : values )
out.print(String.format("\t%.3f", value));
Final java fields cannot be reassigned once set. Nearly all variables you write should be final, unless they are obviously accumulator results or other things you actually want to modify. Nearly all of your function arguments should be final. Being final stops incorrect reassigns (a major bug source) as well as more clearly captures the flow of information through the code.
* Get the reference bases from referenceReader spanned by the extended location of this active region,
* including additional padding bp on either side. If this expanded region would exceed the boundaries
* of the active region's contig, the returned result will be truncated to only include on-genome reference
* bases
* @param referenceReader the source of the reference genome bases
* @param padding the padding, in BP, we want to add to either side of this active region extended region
* @param genomeLoc a non-null genome loc indicating the base span of the bp we'd like to get the reference for
* @return a non-null array of bytes holding the reference bases in referenceReader
@Ensures("result != null")
public byte[] getReference( final IndexedFastaSequenceFile referenceReader, final int padding, final GenomeLoc genomeLoc ) {
if ( referenceReader == null ) throw new IllegalArgumentException("referenceReader cannot be null");
if ( padding < 0 ) throw new IllegalArgumentException("padding must be a positive integer but got " + padding);
if ( genomeLoc == null ) throw new IllegalArgumentException("genomeLoc cannot be null");
if ( genomeLoc.size() == 0 ) throw new IllegalArgumentException("GenomeLoc must have size > 0 but got " + genomeLoc);
final byte[] reference = referenceReader.getSubsequenceAt( genomeLoc.getContig(),
Math.max(1, genomeLoc.getStart() - padding),
Math.min(referenceReader.getSequenceDictionary().getSequence(genomeLoc.getContig()).getSequenceLength(), genomeLoc.getStop() + padding) ).getBases();
return reference;
All classes and methods in the GATK should have unit tests to ensure that they work properly, and to protect yourself and others who may want to extend, modify, enhance, or optimize you code. That GATK development team assumes that anything that isn't unit tested is broken. Perhaps right now they aren't broken, but with a team of 10 people they will become broken soon if you don't ensure they are correct going forward with unit tests.
Walkers are a particularly complex issue. UnitTesting the map and reduce results is very hard, and in my view largely unnecessary. That said, you should write your walkers and supporting classes in such a way that all of the complex data processing functions are separated from the map and reduce functions, and those should be unit tested properly.
Code coverage tells you how much of your class, at the statement or function level, has unit testing coverage. The GATK development standard is to reach something >80% method coverage (and ideally >80% statement coverage). The target is flexible as some methods are trivial (they just call into another method) so perhaps don't need coverage. At the statement level, you get deducted from 100% for branches that check for things that perhaps you don't care about, such as illegal arguments, so reaching 100% statement level coverage is unrealistic for most clases.
You can find out more information about generating code coverage results at Analyzing coverage with clover
We've created a unit testing example template in the GATK codebase that provides examples of creating core GATK data structures from scratch for unit testing. The code is in class ExampleToCopyUnitTest and can be viewed here in github directly ExampleToCopyUnitTest.
As of GATK 2.5, we are moving to a full code review process, which has the following benefits:
Create a new branch to start any work. Never work on master.
Make frequent commits.
Push your rewritten history, and request a code review.
If your pull-request gets rejected, follow the comments from the team to fix it and repeat the workflow until you're ready to submit a new pull request.
# starting a new feature
git checkout -b rp_pairhmm_GSA-332
git commit -av
git push -u origin rp_pairhmm_GSA-332
# doing work on existing feature
git commit -av
git push
# ready to submit pull-request
git fetch origin
git rebase -i origin/master
git push -f
# after being accepted, delete your branch
git checkout master
git pull
git branch -d rp_pairhmm_GSA-332
(the reviewer will remove your github branch)
You must commit your code in small commit blocks with commit messages that follow the git best practices, which require the first line of the commit to summarize the purpose of the commit, followed by -- lines that describe the changes in more detail. For example, here's a recent commit that meets this criteria that added unit tests to the GenomeLocParser:
Refactoring and unit testing GenomeLocParser
-- Moved previously inner class to MRUCachingSAMSequenceDictionary, and unit test to 100% coverage
-- Fully document all functions in GenomeLocParser
-- Unit tests for things like parsePosition (shocking it wasn't tested!)
-- Removed function to specifically create GenomeLocs for VariantContexts. The fact that you must incorporate END attributes in the context means that createGenomeLoc(Feature) works correctly
-- Depreciated (and moved functionality) of setStart, setStop, and incPos to GenomeLoc
-- Unit test coverage at like 80%, moving to 100% with next commit
Now, git encourages you to commit code often, and develop your code in whatever order or what is best for you. So it's common to end up with 20 commits, all with strange, brief commit messages, that you want to push into the master branch. It is not acceptable to push such changes. You need to use the git command rebase to reorganize your commit history so satisfy the small number of clear commits with clear messages.
Here is a recommended git workflow using rebase:
Start every project by creating a new branch for it. From your master branch, type the following command (replacing "myBranch" with an appropriate name for the new branch):
git checkout -b myBranch
Note that you only include the -b when you're first creating the branch. After a branch is already created, you can switch to it by typing the checkout command without the -b: "git checkout myBranch"
Also note that since you're always starting a new branch from master, you should keep your master branch up-to-date by occasionally doing a "git pull" while your master branch is checked out. You shouldn't do any actual work on your master branch, however.
When you want to update your branch with the latest commits from the central repo, type this while your branch is checked out:
git fetch && git rebase origin/master
If there are conflicts while updating your branch, git will tell you what additional commands to use.
If you need to combine or reorder your commits, add "-i" to the above command, like so:
git fetch && git rebase -i origin/master
If you want to edit your commits without also retrieving any new commits, omit the "git fetch" from the above command.
If you find the above commands cumbersome or hard to remember, create aliases for them using the following commands:
git config --global alias.up '!git fetch && git rebase origin/master'
git config --global alias.edit '!git fetch && git rebase -i origin/master'
git config --global alias.done '!git push origin HEAD:master'
Then you can type "git up" to update your branch, "git edit" to combine/reorder commits, and "git done" to push your branch.
Here are more useful tutorials on how to use rebase:
If you need help with rebasing, talk to Mauricio or David and they will help you out.

And Done!
It took me right around 3 hours total but it helped that I was familiar with pulling most everything on the driver side of the motor from cleaning my ICV and replacing my intake tubing. I had also done my OFHG previously and let me tell you, THAT is the time to do the CCV. Everything would have been out of my way to make the CCV swap and hose connections much quicker when doing the OFHG as well. I did end up removing my power steering reservoir just for some more hand space but I got it all snapped back together and then replaced everything and it started right up with no SES light.
I already notice a significant difference in my idle speed. The hose that was broken was the hose from the dipstick tube to the bottom of the CCV: I'm not sure how this impacted the CCV function etc. but I'm guessing it didn't help things and I'm hoping that it was the cause of my SES codes.
Now I've just got to get up early tomorrow and finish swapping my valve cover gasket to take care of my oil leak and I should be all set for a while...

[NOTRE DAME-INDIANA: Men] Harrison Shipp set up Vince Cicciarelli and Patrick Hodan for goals as No. 2 Notre Dame cruised to a 2-0 win over defending national champion Indiana Wednesday evening.
Cicciarelli, who has battled
through injuries during a good portion of his Fighting Irish career, scored his first goal in three season.
"This might be the monkey off Vince's back a little bit,"
Notre Dame coach Bobby Clark said. "He was terrific all game and getting the goal was the icing on the cake, but I think that'll be the first of
many for him. Indiana really had a hard time trying to handle Vince and I thought he certainly was one of our top players tonight."
IU dropped to 4-5-1 with the loss.
"They are a good team, they are physical, and they outplayed us tonight," said Hoosiers coach Todd Yeagley. "I thought they were very
aggressive in the way they played and they have some excellent players. They may be the best team we play all year. We really never got into a rhythm tonight. We did some OK things at times but it
wasn't close to our performance level."

Jeffrey Farkas, M.D., is a senior member of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery and is board certified in radiology, with more than 15 years of dedicated expertise in interventional neuroradiology, which is the minimally invasive treatment of vascular disease of the brain and spine. He is one of the most experienced neurointerventional surgeons/interventional neuroradiologists in the northeast.
Dr. Farkas trained at the prestigious Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. After completing his training, he went on to develop the first academic interventional neuroradiology program in New Jersey, at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.
After successfully starting and growing that program, he went on to develop another very successful interventional neuroradiology program at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. Dr. Farkas has written numerous articles and lectures throughout the country on interventional stroke therapy and interventional neuroradiology techniques. Dr. Farkas has participated in many interventional trials to assess and develop new devices in the battle to conquer stroke and brain vascular disease. Over the years, Dr. Farkas has expanded treatment options and works closely with the medical industry to perfect new devices to treat strokes and aneurysms.
