Having to use animals in science education in ways that a student finds cruel and unethical has turned many compassionate students away from a career in the biological sciences. NEAVS' educational affiliate, the Ethical Science Education Coalition (ESEC), seeks to end the harmful use of animals at all levels of science education. ESEC initiates and supports campaigns to end terminal labs, intubation and other live animal training courses, and to promote alternatives to animal dissection. ESEC provides expert resources and other services in support of humane alternatives to the use of animals.
All students should have the right to choose humane dissection alternatives over traditional animal dissections. Yet only 15 states and the District of Columbia have laws or policies mandating a student's right to choose alternatives without penalty. ESEC supports legislation and state policies that allow students the right to a science education respectful of and consistent with their beliefs. Dissection choice legislation protects students who, for religious, moral, or ethical reasons, do not wish to participate in animal dissection.
NEAVS/ESEC played a key role in the 2005 enactment of the Massachusetts Department of Education's student choice policy, which protects students who choose not to participate in animal dissection and allows them to learn through available humane alternatives, and provided testimony to dozens of state bills, from Maine to California. NEAVS/ESEC also initiated the first prototype of "shelter medicine training" to veterinary students who refused to participate in their school's terminal dog lab. In terminal labs, students perform surgery and other invasive procedures on healthy animals and then euthanize them. NEAVS funded a pilot program for veterinary students to learn surgical techniques, under direct licensed veterinary supervision, by performing needed spay/neuter and any other necessary surgeries on homeless dogs, cats, and feral cats – benefiting the students, the animals, and society's cat and dog overpopulation problem.
ESEC's free loan library program
Through ESEC, we offer alternative programs as a humane way for students to learn about science, anatomy, and physiology, and we support students at all grade levels, from elementary to veterinary school. ESEC's free loan library offers over 300 non-animal dissection and other teaching alternatives, such as advanced computer software programs, manuals, charts, realistic animal models, resuscitation and intubation models, and humane curriculums. Ensuring that students can pursue a humane science education at all levels will allow them to enter the field of science and be a part of the humane and effective science of the future.
To borrow from the ESEC loan library, please fill out the Loan Library Agreement Form and send it to NEAVS or email it to email@example.com. A credit card is required for security purposes; however, there is no charge if you return the borrowed item on or before the due date and in its original condition.

Dance like Maharaj
Some concerts are hypnotic they come with a cumulative knowledge of a lifetime, and ideally, should go on forever. Last week, a concert at FICCI auditorium was one such treat. Kathak doyen Pandit Birju Maharaj had turned 75 and it was the finale of Vasantotsav organised by Kalashram, his institute. As Maharaj showcased ginti ki tihaies, various parans, pirouettes and bhav through a thumri sung by Pt Rajan and Sajan Mishra, his intricate footwork, superb control and stamina almost dared his age. Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain playing complex rhythm structures accompanied the music. He danced on my fourth birthday. Ab kyunki Maharaj ji aaj chaar saal ke ho gaye hain, I wanted to pay him a tribute. While playing with him, I have no idea what he will do next. It is a playful challenge I look forward to, Hussain said, with a laugh.
Sometimes an artiste is synonymous with an art form, but seldom does the opposite happen. Maharaj has danced for almost 70 years but he isnt tired. In fact, he refuses to even play the part. When we catch up with him at his Shahjahan Road residence, he greets us with child-like enthusiasm, after which his American student Natalia serves the customary pedas. His words are punctuated with animated gestures, telling us stories or the kathas of Kathak.
There is the flute, the shringar, the dancers

Authority is a God given gift to the Church to lead us to Christ and to bind and loose first and foremost apropos sin but also in the disciplinary matters of the Church's life. The Christian act of faith is based on the authority of God's Word and His witnesses and therefore we believe with the assent of faith not because of our own particular intellectual acumen to grasp the mystery of God but rather because it is He and His authority which guarantee's the truth of the message. This is not voluntarism, as the Will of God is utterly Rational as Creative Logos. Jesus is the Eternal Logos [Reason] behind all things.
I don't write any of this to attack the person of Matthew Warner or others in anyway but rather I want to highlight the God given nature of the Church's authority and the vigilance of the Bishops with respect to their clerics and faithful's participation in their proclamation of the Gospel of Christ. We Bloggers, unless we are a Bishop, only participate in the one proclamation of the Bishops and therefore we don't enjoy autonomy. Only the Bishop enjoys "autonomy" properly speaking, and even he is bound to the word of Christ such that his words cannot be his own. Even he must proclaim the Gospel in a most strict fidelity to the Sacred Deposit. For this reason we must be extremely careful to weigh well the gravity of the things or persons we are speaking of (The Most Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Sacraments, etc…) and to proceed always in the most strict union with our Shepherds and, of course, in union with the Church's visible guarantee of Unity, the Bishop of Rome. I, of course, believe that Matt Warner and others would completely agree with the need to be obedient to the Bishops and Magisterium but only want to highlight that we need the Bishops' authority when it comes to internet blogging; indeed, that authority alone will grant us the freedom we so desire. Whether or not the Church's practical approach to dealing with the question and problem of blogging is correct or not is not ultimately the point; what is the point is that we do everything in greatest union with the successors to the Apostles and the successor to Peter. We need their authoritative guidance to be faithful to Christ.

The maiden flight of the British Taranis has been put back again until 2013. Taranis was originally due to fly in 2011 but was delayed until late this year for technical and other issues. (Tom Fillingham / BAE Systems)
- Filed Under
WARTON, England — Britain and France could sign contracts next month at the Farnborough International Airshow kick-starting early work on development of an unmanned combat air system (UCAV) and a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) UAV, according to one of the companies involved in the work.
Together, the contracts are expected to be worth up to 40 million pounds ($62.8 million) to industry partners BAE Systems and Dassault Aviation, the companies leading the unmanned vehicle effort.
The Anglo-French deals are expected to involve a risk-reduction phase for the proposed Telemos MALE system and a demonstration preparation phase for the UCAV, according to Tom Fillingham, the director of future combat air systems at the British company's Military Air & Information business.
The work on both programs is expected to last 18 months.
The early UCAV phase will allow the two sides to jointly prepare for future combat air system development, said Fillingham.
A large model giving an idea of what the new UCAV demonstrator might look like will be displayed outside the BAE exhibition area at the air show, which takes place July 9-13.
Fillingham said the model would give an indication of the shape and size, but not the actual design.
Britain and a French-led consortium of nations are working on separate UCAV concept demonstrator programs.
The French Neuron vehicle is expected to fly later this year but the maiden flight of the British Taranis has been put back again until 2013. Taranis was originally due to fly in 2011 but was delayed until late this year for technical and other issues. That maiden flight has now been pushed back to early next year.
Part of the reason for the delay is that the U.K. Ministry of Defense has asked for further radar cross-section tests to corroborate what Fillingham described as the "very promising" data now being analyzed by Government scientists.
BAE allowed visiting reporters to view from a distance the now gray-painted Taranis in its hangar at Warton.
This is the first time Taranis has been seen publicly since it was unveiled in 2010. The machine was painted black at that time.
Fillingham said the program was in "good shape for a rejigged first flight in early 2013."
New UAV and UCAV programs are critical to the sustainment of defense aviation skills and capabilities in Europe beyond the current generation of manned Gripen, Rafale and Typhoon jet fighters.
The BAE executive also told reporters during a briefing at the company's Warton military aviation headquarters in northwest England that it was restarting its Mantis MALE technology demonstration program and had shelved work on the smaller Herti tactical UAV.
BAE Systems and Dassault have been working for months on progressing the two deals, which emerged as a result of the Anglo-French defense treaty signed by the two governments in 2010.
"We have done everything we can. It's now up to the two governments to sign," said Fillingham.
It's hoped the signing of the early phase program work could take place during the air show, he said.
The risk-reduction work, formally known as a technology maturation phase, is expected to cost 30 million pounds with funding split equally between BAE and Dassault.
The duration of the UCAS demonstration preparation program is set at 18 months. The cost is expected to be between 8 million and 10 million pounds.
The Anglo-French bilateral agreement on unmanned vehicles sparked controversy when it was announced as it left German and Italian industries out in the cold. For the moment, the initial phases of work remain exclusively Anglo-French, but economic, political, defense budget and other issues appear to be pushing the programs toward a wider European alliance, said one industry executive.
The June 14 signing of a letter of intent by France and Germany on procurement cooperation, including looking at opportunities in the MALE sector, signals a willingness by the new socialist government in Paris to continue the policy of the Sarkozy administration to move to a trilateral or even multilateral program, a move the British have reservations about.
French and German defense ministers are scheduled to meet in Berlin on June 22 when cooperation issues are expected to be on the agenda.
Fillingham said the initial conversations on cooperation were U.K.-French only and wider cooperation was a question for the two governments.
The Anglo-French MALE was baselined on the Mantis but the actual vehicle will feature new engines and airframe design.
Fillingham said the company will spend up to 5 million pounds of its own money this year and further sums beyond that to resume the Mantis concept technology demonstrator program, which came to a close at the end of 2009.
The autonomously controlled, twin-turboprop powered Mantis is expected to start taxi trials at the end of this year ahead of resuming test flying in 2013. Some of the technology being tested on Mantis could find its way on to the Telemos program.
Discussions are underway with the U.K. Ministry of Defense about selection of a site to conduct the test flight work.
The BAE executive also revealed the company had closed down its efforts to further develop and sell the Herti tactical UAV it first flew in 2004.
The UAV has failed to find any customers, but some of the technology developed on Herti will be migrated to the Mantis demonstrator.

Seeking Independence
Thousands of people with disabilities are currently living in nursing homes despite the fact that almost all, if not all, of them could live independently in their communities. An overwhelming majority of people with disabilities who live in nursing homes would rather receive assistance and support in their own homes but, by default, many of these people are not given a choice and are forced to live in large institutions.

All five starters scored in the double digits for the Pirates (6-11, 1-3) as Lumberton snapped a five-game losing streak and sent the Rams to their third consecutive defeat. Purnell Swett (3-13, 1-3) scored the game's first 10 points and took two separate leads in the third quarter before Lumberton seized control late in the frame. The Pirates erupted for 28 points in the fourth to break open a highly-contested battle for a double-digit win.
Tyler Maynor's game-high 20 points wasn't enough to offset an 18-point outing from Lumberton's Montrae Strother and a season-high 15 from Austin Revels.
Lumberton's girls improved to 4-0 in the SEC with a convincing 62-39 win over the Lady Rams. Keanna McNeill led the way with 20 points and made 4-of-5 shots from 3 while Aliyah Ratley chipped in with 10.
South Robeson picks up first win

In a season full of single-digit losses, the Mustangs (1-13, 1-3) made multiple stops at the defensive end down the stretch to upend the Gators.

A Sneak Peek
The kid's bathroom is coming along. I am overjoyed at the workmen I hired. They are fast and efficient and nice as ever. I am the one delaying the project right now because I decided to be picky about the sink base. It was tempting to just take the easy way and go with what could be installed easily instead of prolong this "one bathroom for seven people" deal we've been coping with. It really hasn't been that bad-easier to clean one bathroom that's for sure! Instead I decided that since I'd be living with my decisions for the rest of my days on earth, I could be a little patient and get the cabinet I really wanted, but that will take an extra week or two to come in . We are going with green on the walls...a nice pale green I have narrowed down from about 52 paint samples.

Live Virtual Constructive technology set to revolutionize air combat training
By: Dave Majumdar Washington DC 12 April 2012
http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articl ... ng-370661/
"The US Air Force and Lockheed Martin are getting ready to demonstrate the first operational use of live virtual constructive (LVC) training technology on 26 April at Luke Air Force Base (AFB), Arizona.
The technology has the potential to revolutionize the way air forces train-particularly for aviators who will fly 5th generation machines like Lockheed's F-22 Raptor and F-35....
...LVC technology will have to demonstrate its capabilities operationally before the USAF allows its fighter pilots to use it. Luke AFB's F-16 squadrons will be the first to use LVC training if Air Education and Training Command gives the go-ahead.
"On the 26th [of April] we've got government folks from AETC down at Randolph [AFB, Texas] that are going to come visit," McCutchen says. "We will do a demonstration with live virtual constructives."

I'm kind of wondering why they need to be in real aircraft for this, rather than just a simulator.
Also, with the helmet mounted displays, why can't the avionics create an image of the target for the pilot to see WVR?

re:simulators - they can.. However, nothing beats the real thing.
re:HMD - no way as it would obfuscate the pilot's view of his cockpit and surroundings. Too confusing.

Seems appropriate for this thread but of course youse may differ. Already we know that the RN/RAF have indicated that 50% of training time (similarly with USofA without being specific) have mentioned this same figure and now the CANUKs are going for it also. The RAAF have indicated how important simulators will be in their F-35 ops. The Dutch have developed a system newly in use for simulating threats etc....
Future Canadian fighter jocks to split simulator and real-world training time
03 Feb 2013 Murray Brewster, The Canadian Press
http://www.barrheadleader.com/article/G ... e=barcpart
"OTTAWA - Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilots of the future could be spending almost as much time in a simulator as they do in the cockpit under a revised training regime that has its eyes on the bottom line as much as technology, say internal documents....
..."We're probably going to move towards a training plan that is probably going to be 50 per cent (simulation), 50 per cent flying, which is much different than what we've got now," Blondin said in an interview with The Canadian Press last fall.
"I'm a strong believer in simulation. I can transfer a lot of that training (into) simulation."
Currently air force fighter pilots spend about 20 per cent of their advanced training time practising in simulators and 80 per cent in the air with the actual jet....
..."We need to create that virtual world," Blondin said.
"If I can do this I'm reducing my operational costs. I am reducing the carbon footprint. It's one way for me to approach the budget restriction we're going to see in the future, so I certainly want to go there."
In the context of the F-35, Blondin said the concept of a virtual training unit has been kicked around, something that would replace an operational training unit and the need to set aside aircraft for instruction.
It would involve setting up a "squadron" of 16 simulators, and when pilots needed actual cockpit time, they could use front-line aircraft.
The concept is particularly important in light of the Harper government's insistence on buying only 65 F-35s, the minimum the air force says it needs to carry out its duties.
Combat aircraft other than the stealth fighter could also be supported through a virtual training regime.
The expanded use of simulators would be for advanced "combat-ready" training.
Many front-line pilots complain they join the air force to fly, not to spend time in a simulator. But Blondin counters that the new training regime is being developed for the next generation of pilots who are more at home in a "virtual world."
Once again in the context of the F-35, Blondin said the simulator training would be "better than anything you can fly at night 25,000 feet over Bagotville," Que, where CF-18s are now based.
He said real-world training exercises, using a series of jets pitted against once another, are expensive, and increase the risk of an adversary monitoring and evaluating pilots."

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)No Mr. Obama, you're not OPTIMAL
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 19th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) When you have an anti-life president in the White House, you are going to see the mindset manifest itself in various ways, at odd times. That's just what happened when Obama, appearing on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart, referred to the deaths of four Americans in Libya last month as "not optimal." NEW YORK, NY (Catholic Online) - The Daily Show is a satirical news production that often provides compelling commentary and food for thought, albeit in a rather humorous light. The topics on the show are typically political, critical, and lean to the left. The show is broadcast nationally on Comedy Central.
When Stewart asked Obama, "Is part of the investigation helping the communication between these divisions? Not just what happened in Benghazi, but what happened within. Because I would say, even you would admit, it was not the optimal response, at least to the American people, as far as all of us being on the same page." With this question, Stewart is critiquing the President's handling of the tragedy and asking for how he plans to fix it. Note that he used the word "optimal" in his initial question, but not necessarily in a humorous way. Obama replied, "Here's what I'll say. If four Americans get killed, it's not optimal." This is more than a poorly worded off-the-cuff response. This is an insight into a president who does not have the same respect or regard for life as the majority of Americans do. And this is our Commander-in-Chief. Obama proceeded to explain his answer, stating that there would be an investigation and that the administration would "fix it." "We're going to fix it. All of it. And what happens, during the course of a presidency, is that the government is a big operation and any given time something screws up," Obama said. Yet, this is not acceptable. The government should not "screw up" in a way such as this. This was not the case of a triplicate form not making it to the appropriate inbox because a clerk mishandled it. Rather, there was a deliberate choice made to deny additional security for our people because President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were afraid it would upset the locals. Just why locals would have a problem with the presence of a few additional Marines, restricted to an ambassador's compound is a question that remains to be answered. However, two things are clear. First, that Obama bears primary responsibility, a point he made clear during the debates, and second, he may not be fully capable of handling the job of Commander-in-Chief. Obama's roots as a community organizer in Chicago may qualify him for certain jobs, however there is no indication that he is qualified to make security decisions when he makes mistakes that cost American lives, then refers to that loss in such a cavalier manner. The size of the government is no excuse for a "screw up" that costs lives. Ultimately, it was not the situation or the loss of lives that's not optimal. It's the President himself. © 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Healthy Living: Dangers of Fast Food
By: KARK 4 Today
Updated: January 22, 2013
The study of more than 500,000 kids in over 50 countries links fast food to severe asthma, hay fever and eczema.
Published in the journal Thorax, the study said kids who eat fast food three times or more a week had approximately 30% increased risk in disease severity. It's important to note, the study does not say fast food causes the conditions, instead it makes them worse.
On the flip side, researchers found a reduction in severity for kids who ate fruit at least three times a week. Doctors say that's because fruit and vegetables are full of anti-oxidants.
They also say when kids fill up with fast food, they don't eat as much of the fruit and veggies which could be making them feel better.
