Gov. Gary Herbert's proposed alternative to Medicaid expansion is getting attention from neighboring states that initially rejected the coverage available under President Barack Obama's health care law.
Herbert is in "active conversations" with fellow Republican governors who are rethinking whether to accept Medicaid expansion, Utah Department of Health Executive Director David Patton said.
There's a line of thinking about state-based resistance to the Affordable Care Act which holds that it is to some large degree an outgrowth of spite directed at Barack Obama specifically, and that it will begin to fade once Obama is out of office and the right stops treating anything but massive resistance to Obamacare as a form of collaboration with a particularly loathsome adversary.
Medicaid won't expand in Kansas anytime soon. HB 2552, which requires an act of the Legislature to expand Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act, has been signed by Gov. Sam Brownback, his office announced Friday. The bill was originally created to require prompt payment from KanCare providers. It was amended on the Senate floor to include legislative approval of a Medicaid expansion. Read more here: http://www.kansas.com/2014/04/18/3411724/brownback-signs-bill-saying-medicaid.html#storylink=cpy
A new report from the Kansas Center for Economic Growth concludes that Medicaid expansion would be a boon to the state's economy and be particularly helpful in rural areas where higher percentages of workers lack good health coverage.
The center is a nonprofit group that promotes "balanced policies that help ensure all Kansans prosper."
We pledge allegiance to "One nation, under God." When terrorists attack us, we unite as one to defend our nation and our countrymen and women. Yet, we allow the doctrine of the Confederacy — states' rights — to divide us, even to the point of costing Americans their lives.
Charlene Dill, a resident of Florida, was a 32-year-old mother of three. She worked three jobs to try to support those children, despite having a serious heart condition. She earned too much — $11,000 a year — to be eligible for Medicaid under Florida law. She would have been able to get expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
If Kansas opts to expand Medicaid, it won't happen until at least next year.
A new measure, signed into law late last week by Gov. Sam Brownback (R), requires that any expansion of Medicaid be explicitly approved by the state legislature, which has finished its regular session for the year.
On Thursday, Utah Gov. Gary Herbert (R) became the latest Republican to embrace Obamacare's Medicaid expansion, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. "Doing nothing … I've taken off the table," said Herbert during a news conference announcing the decision. "Doing nothing is not an option."
"Juneau's health care tops the nation," reads the headline. It is serendipitous that the report appears on April Fool's Day. We've all been taken, but it's no joke. I believe the cost is what it is for political and corporate interest, which are rather intertwined these days.
The Bozeman, Montana Chronicle is running a poll right now asking Montanans whether they support proposed Montana Initiative I-170 to provide Medicaid for the 70,000 Montanans who currently fall into the doughnut hole created by the Montana Legislature's refusal to allow Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
The number of people on Medicaid in Idaho rose almost 6 percent since the launch of Idaho's health-insurance exchange last fall even though Idaho is one of the states that has not expanded Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act
When Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the 2013 class of liberal senators start work this month, they'll have to do more than figure out the byzantine ways of getting things done in Washington.
They'll also have to decide how seriously to engage a progressive movement that sees their assent a historic opportunity to shift the Democratic Party to the left.
WASHINGTON -- Nearly two years after Wall Street waged a successful campaign to keep consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren from running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the incoming senator will be tapped to serve on the Banking Committee, according to four sources familiar with the situation.
Politico recently declared, "The Senate is about to become a liberal lion's den."
In 2012, groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, MoveOn.org, CREDO Action, and Democracy for America worked hard to build progressive power in Congress. This week's iconic photo of Senators-elect Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) walking together down the corridors of power is symbolic of the rising progressive tide.
An overbearing and at times ridiculously aggressive Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown came across as a desperate man Thursday night, as he attempted to gain the upper hand in the first debateof this year's most closely-watched U.S. Senate race and, by extension, in a reelection contest that seems to be slipping away from him.
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is expected to endorse Democrat Elizabeth Warren on Friday in her bid to unseat Republican US Senator Scott Brown, according to two people with knowledge of the plan.
Bill Clinton may have stolen the show at the DNC last night with his 45-minute, half-ad-libbed barn-burner of a speech, but there were a few other noteworthy speakers as well. After dragging for an hour or two, the night's program picked up when Massachusetts Senate candidate, CFPB creator, and economic realtalker extraordinaire Elizabeth Warren took the stage.
It was a grim, sleety day in Chicopee, a gritty postindustrial town in western Massachusetts, where paint flakes off worn-out bridges and boarded-up factories. At a community relations luncheon, kind security guards were opening back doors and holding out umbrellas for the few willing to brave the freezing slush.
Retired Amherst gentleman John Kick is not known as a political activist. In the Springfield union hall where he ventured last October to hear Democratic senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren, he might have seemed a world-weary citizen with vague curiosity about the professor turned politician.
But John's sorrowful demeanor and disconsolate eyes betrayed a woefully wounded heart. His son, Gabe, took his own life just a month earlier, at the age of 28. John keeps moving, somehow, in the dreadful private agony understood only by parents who persist in such an aftermath.
If you're reading this, you probably already know how you feel about Elizabeth Warren. Warren is currently running for Senate in Massachusetts, in the hopes of knocking out Republican incumbent Scott Brown. Very few first-time candidates are so well-known, or so passionately beloved.
NOW/PAC is thrilled to announce its endorsement of Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren for the U. S. Senate from the state of Massachusetts. Warren is the most prominent of the three Democrats vying to run against incumbent Sen. Scott Brown (R) in the general election. Recent polls show Warren neck and neck with Brown.
BOSTON – It is past time for the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to step up and help prevent unnecessary foreclosures in Massachusetts, said Consumer Advocate Elizabeth Warren, reinforcing calls from members of the Massachusetts Congressional delegation and Attorney General Martha Coakley.
U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern this week endorsed Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren for the United States Senate.
Millions of Americans hoped President Obama would nominate Elizabeth Warren to head the consumer financial watchdog agency she had created. Instead, she was pushed aside. As Warren kicks off her run for Scott Brown's Senate seat in Massachusetts, Suzanna Andrews charts the Harvard professor's emergence as a champion of the beleaguered middle class, and her fight against a powerful alliance of bankers, lobbyists, and politicians.
For a few years now, politicians straining against all of the antigovernment demagogy have been searching for a way to energize public interest and remind voters of the essential government services and protections they rely on and all too often take for granted.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — More than a few local Democrats would be ecstatic if Elizabeth Warren decides to run against Scott Brown for the U.S. Senate. Warren is kicking around the idea of running and stopped in Pittsfield on Friday to meet with party members to gauge their support as part of a listening tour across the state.
On Friday, September 12th more than 150 activists will go to DC and Demand that their Senators and Representatives support removing the ratification deadline from the ERA (SJ Res 15 and HJ Res 113)

- Young Hearts Run Free
- Production year: 2011
- Country: UK
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 93 mins
- Directors: Andy Mark Simpson
- Cast: Andy Black, Jennifer Bryden
Andy Mark Simpson's first feature is heartfelt, but a bit soap-operaish – especially in the sudden blazing rows that spring up. In a Northumbrian village in 1974, a community is torn apart by the miner's strike. Andy Black plays Mark, who infuriates the strikers by doing scab labour to save up for his studies. And Mark has grownup problems that Billy Elliot never had to worry about: he is going out with a girl (Jennifer Bryden) who nobody likes much. It's warmhearted, with evidence that Simpson will have more to offer in his next film.

The Relationship Between Theory and History in Evolutionary Biology: A Model for Historical Sociology?
By Edgar Kiser
Sociology, University of Washington
February 19, 2008
Based on work by Edgar Kiser and Howard Welser
Sociologists have often looked to the natural and physical sciences for theoretical and methodological models. One recent attempt to use the natural sciences as a model for the social sciences comes from historical sociology, where several prominent scholars have argued that evolutionary biology could provide useful guidelines for understanding the relationship between history and theory in explanation. These historical sociologists are not suggesting that the substance of biological theory can explain social processes and outcomes they are not advocating (nor do they even address) the utility of the type of substantive borrowing employed in population ecology theory, sociobiology, or evolutionary psychology and we will not discuss these debates either. Their interest in evolutionary biology is motivated by broadly methodological concerns. They see general similarities between the objects of study in evolutionary biology and historical sociology which they suggest might call for similar approaches to constructing explanations, since both are historical sciences.
We argue that explanation in evolutionary biology (1) is a theory-driven enterprise, and uses a small number of general causal mechanisms with broad scope to explain a wide variety of general and particular outcomes; (2) is based on a well developed classification system derived from general theoretical principles; (3) has an inherent chance component (due in their case to the random effect of mutations), which makes most forms of prediction impossible; and (4) is fundamentally historical because contemporary causal processes are always built on and thus constrained by the nature of existing structures. In addition to elaborating these arguments, we offer two more specific recommendations: that historical sociologists could benefit from two things that have been used very effectively in evolutionary biology, game theory and computer simulations.

Whenever we are in great pain…
Whenever we are in great pain, we should not forget the great honour that the Lord is doing us in letting us share in His crown of thorns.
- Mother Gabriel
Whenever we are in great pain, we should not forget the great honour that the Lord is doing us in letting us share in His crown of thorns.
- Mother Gabriel
It is not enough to give. We must have a heart that gives. In order to give, we must have a compassion deep enough for our gift to be forgiven, because if we give dutifully, if we are charitable only in our actions, the recipient receives humiliation and sorrow and pain together with our gift.
- Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh
Why do men learn through pain and suffering, and not through pleasure and happiness? Very simply, because pleasure and happiness accustom one to satisfaction with the things given in this world, whereas pain and suffering drive one to seek a more profound happiness beyond the limitations of this world.
- Father Seraphim Rose (20th c.)
Pain of heart is the condition for spiritual growth and the manifestation of God's power. Healings, etc., occur to those in desperation, hearts pained but still trusting and hoping in God's help. This is when God acts. The absence of miracles today (almost) indicates lack of this pain of heart in man and even most Orthodox Christians—bound up with the 'growing cold' of hearts in the last times.
- Fr. Seraphim Rose
Good God provides each person with a cross relevant to their strength; the idea is not suffering but the ascent from the cross to Heaven because in reality the cross is a stairway to Heaven. If we realise what treasure we are saving from the pain of ordeals, we will not groan, but praise God bearing the small cross he gave us as a gift. Thus, we will enjoy this life and we will receive pension and "gratuity" in the other one. God has secured our reward in Heaven. If we ask to be relieved from an ordeal, then He gives the reward to someone else and we lose it. Whereas, if we are patient, He will gives us interest as well.
- Elder Paisios of Mt. Athos
Those who come close to people in pain naturally draw near to God, because God is always by the side of His children who are in pain.
- Elder Paisios of Mount Athos
The greater the pain that you feel, the more you should welcome the person whose reproof makes you feel it. For he is bringing about within you a total purification without which your intellect cannot attain the pure state of prayer.
- Ilias the Presbyter
So many people are suffering, and no one helps them. They are hurt, desperate, no one seems to understand what they have been through… Everything seems pointless, they can't stand the pain anymore.
I could pretend that this doesn't happen. I could just close my eyes, turn my back and say "I don't care".
But I do care. I understand. I wish I could do something, to help you all. To take away your pain. But I am just a human. Our Lord Jesus Christ can heal you. Just wisper His name… He's here for you, to bring peace in your heart, to wipe your tears…
Always remember, Jesus is here for you:
This is the way we should see Christ. He is our friend, our brother; He is whatever is good and beautiful. He is everything. Yet, He is still a friend and He shouts it out, "You're my friends, don't you understand that? We're brothers. I'm not… I don't hold hell in my hands. I am not threatening you. I love you. I want you to enjoy life together with me."
Don't give up, gentle souls! You are unique, you are beautiful and you deserve to live. We all care about you, you are important to all of us. You can't imagine how much we will pain if we lose you. You are beautiful inside and out and you deserve happiness. Suicide is not a solution. Whatever you need, we are all here. You are not alone.
May the Holy Trinity bless you all! You are all in my prayers!
♥ ♥ ♥
Suffering is our teacher; We do not bring it on ourselves, but we courageously bear it, if we have to face it; as it is a source of much goodness.
- St. John Chrysostom
A patron Saint is regarded as the intercessor and advocate in heaven of a nation, place, craft, activity, class, or person. Since the time of the early Christians up to the present, a vast number of patron saints have been recorded.
Now, I'll mention some categories (You can find the full list HERE)
Against demons and witchcraft
Against drinking
For headaches
To have a child
There are few things that can make a person angrier than being insulted and criticized. I know there've been times when I said something like, "He said what? Well, let me tell you a few things about him…" But when you read the lives of the saints, you realize that they didn't let accusations upset them.
Here's what St. Isaac the Syrian says:
The man who endures accusations against himself with humility has arrived at perfection. He is marveled at by the holy angels, for there is no other virtue so great and so hard to achieve.
So when you're verbally attacked, follow the example of our Lord: He was silent when people said evil things against Him
The Christianity is love, the Christianity is also pain. The Christianity is love resulted from pain. What is this strange commandment brought by Christ, but pain? What actually means, to love your neighbour? To buy him a hamburger? To give him some money? Sometimes this also. But if the pain of your neighbour cannot be relieved neither with a hamburger nor with money, if it is beyond your power? In fact, it seems to me that any trouble and any pain are beyond our power. Then the single thing that we can do for our neighbour is to grieve for his pain, for the pain of all the world, if it is possible. The archimandrite Sofronie Saharov, writing to an ill woman whose eight year old son died, tells this story. "Once I was together with the St. Siluan and we were looking near our cell from the Saint Mountain at a small boat caught in the tempest. The panicky people had to choose whether to remain in the boat and wait until the end of the tempest or to come with the boat to the shore. Both variants were equally dangerous. Then one of the monks sighed and said "Ah, how I grieve for them". Then St. Siluan said him "If you have grieved for them, it means they are saved". Truly, all those people reached the shore. "I also believe", the blessed Sofronie continued his letter, "that the pain in which you are, will be healed, because I grieve for you".

Early 2009, I started using Friendfeed as a way to aggregate various sources of web links to share. August that year, Facebook bought FriendFeed, ripped out the innovators, and left the site to bleed to death. (I'm sure it felt less dramatic to the fine folks who built it.)
I've had a nagging feeling since, wanting to move away, but (luckily) the great features of their service stayed on air, and (sadly) no real open alternative showed up. But with the 1.6.0 release of tt-rss, my current news reader, came a "share…" bookmarklet, with the lacking piece of the puzzle: a way to inject any web page into a feed of web links to share.
When I suggested what I still missed, the developer almost instantaneously responded, completing the feature for my use case.
(By the way, you may notice communications on the tt-rss forum isn't quite according to "customer care guidelines" – we don't have a client-vendor relation anyway – but please also note the speed of delivery. Of course, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen, and enjoy your cheap happy meals or expensive restaurant dinners.)
So: now I can plug RSS feeds into my feed reader (just when Facebook and Twitter are replacing open standards with closed APIs). Share individual pages too. And publish feeds to my own website and other locations.
You can see my "stream of links" on the right as its own feed. But to take the experiment a little further, I'm working on a weekly (automatic) update of my blog too. Here's a first (alpha) version bulletin.

It's been nearly two months since the Valentine's Day accident that took the life of 32 year old Troy Hohn and sent several members of the young Wolf family to the hospital.
Stephen and Ameina Wolf were waiting at a stoplight at Minnesota and 41st Street with their six-year-old, toddler and infant son in the car. Stephen, Ameina and 6-year-old Anaya were injured and spent up to three weeks in the hospital.
Saturday, Ameina's boss and coworkers at Visionary Eye Clinic in Sioux Falls gave their unique talents and time to raise money and supplies for the entire family.
"When we heard what had happened with Ameina, we started brainstorming different things that we could do and we felt that this is what we know how to do," said volunteer Jane Blank.
Optometrist Sandra Carmen, her staff members and frame vendors volunteered to open up the clinic Saturday and donate all the proceeds from eye exams and frame sales to the Wolf family, along with collecting some necessary supplies.
"The community response has been great...we've had lots of donations of diapers today plus some other things that people think a young family would need and plus we've had a lot of folks drop in and do eye exams and just purchase glasses," said Blank.
"Today is amazing, we're blessed to have such an outpour in the community, coming in and helping us out. With Doctor Carmen, the staff here, they are just absolutely amazing, they're amazing people and I'm so grateful that they did this for us," said Ameina Wolf.
Ameina spent three weeks in the hospital with a shattered spine and shoulder.
"I can't pick up any of the kids still…it's tough, it's tough but with the help of our family and our community, it helps a lot," said Ameina.
Ameina, Stephen and the three young children who were also in the accident are beginning to recover from their injuries.
"We're healing up a little, so the family's doing better," said Anaya Wolf, who celebrated her 7th birthday at the benefit on Saturday.
"This accident has just kind of woken us up as far as giving us a real appreciation for our kids and each other and our family and everything," said Stephen Wolf.
With the help of a grant from Thrivent financial, Visionary Eye Clinic was able to raise more than $5,000 for the Wolf family and collect more than 1,000 diapers and canned goods.

Boeing reported the first flight of the X-48C blended wing body (BWB) research aircraft at Edwards AFB on August 7. The unmanned 8.5-percent scale model reached 5,500 feet during a nine-minute flight. A week later, however, the company's third X-51 Waverider hypersonic testbed flight ended in failure when its scramjet failed to ignite.
B-52 Stratofortress
Lockheed Martin has described progress in the F-35 development program, and solutions to some of the problems that have recently been identified. Having exceeded the planned flight-test sorties and test points in 2011 by 15 percent, the company is hoping for similar gains this year. Of the 59,585 test points scheduled for the development phase through 2016, just over one-fifth had been flown by the end of December.
Rafael is promoting a new version of the very successful Litening pod here at Paris, after celebrating the 1,000th sale of this targeting and navigation system. It has also developed a multi-sensor ground station from one that it previously built to handle imagery from the Rafael Reccelite reconnaissance pod.
On Monday three U.S. Air Force nuclear-capable bomber wings joined the new Air Force Global Strike Command, bringing together the USAF's nuclear strike assets in a single organization for the first time since the dismantling of Strategic Air Command in 1992.
The B-52 design may be 58 years old, but the "Buff" is keeping pace with modern technology. On January 17 Boeing flew the latest upgrade of its mighty bomber for the first time in a three-hour sortie from Edwards AFB. The B-52H was outfitted with the combat network communications technology (CONECT) modification, which allows the B-52 to receive and send digital information in real time during missions.

Your probably looking at this thing wonder what the hell it could be. It looks like a full mobile tactical computer work horse (or something technical sounding), but its actually a Dual-Band Rapid Deployment Cellular Repeater system by CellAntenna. The RDCRS, which is primarily designed to be used by emergency vehicles or in major emergency situations, allows government agents cellular signal coverage no matter how poor the reception indoor or outdoor by boosting the signal. Covers up to 15,000 square feet, and packaged in a rugged suit case on wheels. Includes a backup 8 hour battery if AC power is not available, and can apparently be married to a fuel cell for extended use.

Bruce Willis by the numbers
The Whole Nine Yards
The number eight is considered lucky in Chinese culture, but clearly Bruce Willis snarls in the face of auspicious beliefs and skips straight to nine. Back in the late '90s, when Matthew Perry was a bankable actor, Bruce Willis so badly wanted him to co-star in The Whole Nine Yards that he left a message on his answering machine threatening to "chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door" if he didn't do the film. The hilariously famous, if not slightly menacing line was eventually included in the film, as was Matthew Perry, who later exacted payback by wrangling Bruce into a free run of guest spots on Friends.

Let's talk about birthdays. There are too many authors who were born in October to talk about all of them, so I'll just mention a few. RL Stine's birthday is October 8. He of course is the author of Goosebumps [2]. Did you know RL Stine used to write joke books?
One of my favorite authors when I was a kid is Robert Lawson, who was born Oct. 4, 1892 and died in 1957. He illustrated books by many authors and also wrote some of his own. The Story of Ferdinand [3]is one he only illustrated; it is the story of a bull who would rather sniff the flowers than fight. Ferdinand is a picture book, but most of the books Lawson illustrated were chapter books. Adam of the Road [4] by Elizabeth Gray is one; another is Mr. Popper's Penguins [5] by Richard and Florence Atwater.
Of the books Robert Lawson both wrote and illustrated are some historical fiction books told from the point of view of animals: Mr Revere and I [6] and Ben and Me [7]. There is another one of these historical fiction ones-Captain Kidd's Cat, but sadly it is out of print, which means you can't buy it anymore unless you find a used copy, and we don't have it in HCPL either. Not only did Robert Lawson write *and* illustrate Rabbit Hill [3], he won the Newbery Medal for it. (And btw, when I was in fourth grade, my mom made me a really cook bunny costume for Halloween, which I later wore on one of those "dress up as a book character" days.)
The good thing about all of the chapter books Robert Lawson illustrated is that there's a picture every few pages. Another author/illustrator whose chapter books have lots of pictures is Lois Lenski. She was born October 14, 1893 and died in 1974. She wrote and illustrated a lot of cute little picture books
and also wrote and illustrated a lot of chapter books. [11] (Strawberry Girl and Indian Captive [12] are the only ones at HCPL though.) She also illustrated the Betsy-Tacy [13] books by Maud Hart Lovelace.
Some other authors that have October birthdays are James Marshall, Johanna Hurwitz, Ed Emberly, and Russell Freedman.

Recommended Reading
The bookshelves of my office contain fiction and non-fiction that I have grown to love over the years. Some of the books are directly related to health, and others are not. My patients often look over these shelves before and after their appointments and I happily lend books between appointments.
Though I can't lend you books via this website, I wanted to create a virtual version of my office shelves. It's a smaller version to be sure, but one that represents the many facets of health and living well—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Check out my recommended reading list on my Amazon store.
Health and Wellness
Slim, Sane, and Sexy; A Pocket Guide To Natural, Bioidentical Hormone Balancing
Erin T. Lommen N.D. and Jay H. Mead MD
This is an excellent introduction to bioidentical hormones, hormone testing, and aging in general, written by two enormously experienced local doctors.
Hormone Balance For Men: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Prostate Health and Natural Hormone Supplementation
John Lee, MD
This short booklet is written by one of the pioneers of bioidentical hormones. It includes essential information for men concerned about an enlarged prostate and/or prostate cancer.
Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal?
Datis Kharrazian, DHSc, DC, MS
This book is the best-selling thyroid book on Amazon and completely nails down the different aspects of thyroid disease. I have personally received advanced training from Dr. Kharrazian and know him to be a brilliant, compassionate, and very insightful clinician. If you are fatigued, read this book and then make an appointment to be properly diagnosed.
Hypoallergenic Diet: A complete guide to food sensitivities
Saeid Mushtagh, BSc, ND
Food intolerances and sensitivities are a major problem for those who are chronically ill. Lab tests are helpful, but can be expensive. This book details an effective process for diagnosing food sensitivities—eating a clean diet for three weeks followed by systematic reintroduction of avoided foods. The book includes recipes.
Caffeine Blues
Stephen Cherniske, M.S.
Find out why I describe a cup of coffee to my patients as a "cup of fear!" Stephen Cherniske is a researcher and former sleep lab scientist. I learned an enormous amount about the body-wide effects from caffeine by meeting him and reading this book. Moderation is one thing, but it's important to know how excess caffeine can create (and mask) a downward health spiral.
Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health
Gary Taubes
Have you ever wondered how cholesterol and fat were determined to be bad for you? What's the science behind these pillars of nutritional dogma? Gary Taubes is a relentless investigative science journalist who grabs on to a topic like a bulldog—refusing to let go until he gets the final story. The political story is fascinating, but Taubes's explanation of the physiology of sugar and weight gain is the real reason to read this book.
The Brain and Mind (not necessarily the same things)
My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey
Jill Bolte-Taylor, Ph.D.
In 1996, Bolte-Taylor suffered a massive stroke that temporarily shut down half of her brain. In this wonderful book, she details, from a human and scientific perspective (she's a brain scientist, after all), her harrowing experience and unique insights during the stroke. Besides this amazing story (which is also the subject of this 20 minute presentation), her description of the hard work of her full recovery contains valuable information for anyone who is recovering from a stroke.
Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique
Michael S. Gazzaniga
This book is a great description of what makes our brains unique from other animals. Gazzaniga is a teacher and neuroscientist and has a very accessible writing style.
The Illusion of Conscious Will
Daniel M. Wegner
An exploration of the science behind one of my favorite topics: the deceptive nature of our human brains. We think what we perceive is the actually there, but the truth may be more complicated. This is a rather dense book, but has some very illuminating nuggets.
The Biology of Belief
Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.
This book taught me the physical mechanisms by which our beliefs can change the way our genes are expressed. It is an accessible introduction into the field of epigenetics and is an essential read for anyone who is curious about how much control genes have over our lives and health.
Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (and a Way to Get There From Here)
Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D and Steve Bhaerman
A companion book the "The Biology of Belief," this book applies the science of epigenetics to the evolution of our human culture.
General Science
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
Malcolm Gladwell
An entertaining read describing the powers of unconscious perception. Gladwell is always worth it.
The Hidden Forest: The Biography of an Ecosytem
Jon R. Luoma
A beautiful account of the complexity of the forests around us. A wonderful book for those who love trees and hiking in the woods.
The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World
Michael Pollan
This book, by another one of my favorite writers, is comprised of four fascinating stories about the natural and human history of four plants integral to human evolution: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. This is a politics-free book that made Pollan famous before he started advocating for a simpler way of eating in his more recent (and also excellent) books, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food."
The Spell of the Sensous
David Abram
In this beautifully written book, Abram describes his theory that it was the development of language—especially written language—that separated us from a true experience of the natural world. He explores the intimate connections that our abilities to perceive have with nature and how we might use these to become more fully human.
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures
Anne Fadiman
This book taught me the importance of valuing a patient's background and belief systems in medical treatment. "The Spirit Catches You…" is a journalistic account of the clash between a county hospital and a Laotian refugee family over the care of their seizure-afflicted daughter. Both parties work tirelessly to do what they think is best for the girl, but the cultural differences create a tragic impasse.
Pilgrim At Tinker Creek
Annie Dillard
A classic blend of literature and natural history. I loved the way Dillard explored perception, nature, God, and being human in the intimate setting of her walks along neighboring Tinker Creek.

WWDBlog: Who are you favorite designers?
Maria Sharapova: Chloe, Isabel Marant, Vanessa Bruno, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Rick Owens, but I travel so much that it depends. A lot of pieces that I have I'm able to wear a lot and layer. I love blazers and jackets and paring them with loose, cool wide legged pants. I'm tall and I feel like I can get away with that a little more.
WWDBlog: What about shoes?
MS: I'm always in flats; I'm a ballerina type of girl. I'm obsessed with my Bacara ballet flats from Cole Haan. I don't wear too many heels -- only to an event or dinner or a night out.
WWDBlog: How would you describe your personal style?
MS: My style is pretty relaxed and it's not too fussy. I don't like crazy prints. I like sophisticated prints. Nothing too wild or too tight. I do like to accessorize -- I have one suitcase that's just shoes and bags.
WWDBlog: Tell us about this suitcase.
MS: I don't like to travel with too much jewelry. It's chunky and heavy and it always adds to the mass. My favorite accessory is bold watch, the Tag Heuer Formula 1 ceramic watch. They just launched it in a bigger size this year, which I'm very excited about. It's a statement piece, and when you wear it you never have to worry about any other accessories.
WWDBlog: What is your red carpet style?
MS: I try to keep it to flowy and sophisticated, but also edgy -- and pay attention to detail. I don't like too many fussy things going on with material and color. I like to experiment with silhouettes.
WWDBlog: What was your favorite red carpet look?
MS: When I hesitate on what to wear, I always go with Lanvin. You can never go wrong with Lanvin. You always feel elegant.

Minot, North Dakota has been the victim of horrendous flooding this week. As water is turned loose upstream to alleviate flooding, the town is bearing the brunt of the floodwaters, forcing evacuations of thousands of people as the Souris River overflows at record levels. Here are some images of the flooding, and be sure to keep up-to-date on the situation with our flood tracker.
Flood waters begin to pour through a breached levee and flood the Minot Country Club Thursday, June 23, 2011 in Minot, N.D. Officials in North Dakota's fourth-largest city said Thursday they had done all they could to protect critical infrastructure from the rising Souris River as it headed toward a record flood.

Thor's female lead, Natalie Portman, became Hollywood's most bankable star after winning an Oscar for Black Swan. She talks nerves, motherhood and her Jewish faith
Natalie Portman is raving about working in Britain. "It's amazing to see how robust the British film industry is," says the actress, who recently spent several months in Surrey making her latest film, Thor: The Dark World.
"I think I've shot in England more than anywhere else in the world, between doing Star Wars, Closer, V for Vendetta, The Other Boleyn Girl and Your Highness. For Thor I stayed in Ascot, which was really beautiful."
Now 32, Portman has been acting professionally since she was 11 and is accustomed to working with cinema's brightest and best: George Lucas in the Star Wars prequels, Woody Allen in Everyone Says I Love You, Mike Nichols in Closer.
In 2011 she won the best actress Oscar for her complex portrayal of the deeply disturbed ballerina in Black Swan, and Forbes magazine recently named her the film industry's "most bankable star". Studio executives and her PR team treat her like royalty.

No royal subject has been more talked-about the past three years than Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.Since the moment the former Kate Middleton walked into the camera frame as Prince William's fiancee in November 2010, wearing a sapphire-blue dress to match Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring and becoming an instant style icon and the envy of commoners everywhere, she has barely spent a moment out of the spotlight. And her fans around the world can't get enough.Hitting stores barely two months after its subject gave birth to an heir to the British throne, Kate: The Future Queen, by well-known royal reporter Katie Nicholl, takes an intimate look at the duchess's life — from her parents' meeting to the birth of her son.It's not a tell-all; there are no salacious bombshells, and Kate is treated kindly. And although no immediate members of the royal family, including Kate, are interviewed, those close to her — uncles, hairdressers, friends from school — lend anecdotes and details that string together the narrative. Kate was a well-behaved little girl who grew into a shy teen who blossomed into the beautiful young woman who captured the eye of the prince. And now they're living happily ever after.Kate fans who clamor to read every magazine article about her will be disappointed that the book doesn't reveal a lot of new information. Many of the stories, like the one about Kate going out on the town looking fabulous while she and William were split up, we've heard time and again. And some of the new stories — for instance, that William and Kate probably met years before they were freshmen in college together — leave us wanting more detail, explanation or confirmation.But there are just enough new tidbits to give avid royal watchers good reason to pick up the book. Right away, for example, we find out that the Middletons weren't just self-made millionaires from their party-planning company, as is often said. Michael Middleton, Kate's father, came from money, and a trust fund afforded the Middleton children a privileged education before the party-planning company hit it big. Skip to the chapter about her famous wedding, and these are the kinds of details you'll learn: Kate awoke at 6 a.m. and refused to have televisions on while she got ready. Eight hairdressers worked on the bridal party, and to achieve the bride's hairstyle — and to ensure her tiara would stay on — two stylists worked meticulously down a checklist. It then took Kate 45 minutes to get into her dress. Inside the Rolls-Royce on the way to Westminster Abbey, Michael held his daughter's hand, and she giggled at the sight of him buried beneath all the tulle of her dress.It's a quick read (fans might say too quick), but it's a lovely story that's barely, we hope, still in the opening chapters. — Stephanie Allmon

Crystal structure of human epsinR ENTH domain
Soluble NSF attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) are type II transmembrane proteins that have critical roles in providing the specificity and energy for transport-vesicle fusion and must therefore be correctly partitioned between vesicle and organelle membranes. Like all other cargo, SNAREs need to be sorted into the forming vesicles by direct interaction with components of the vesicles' coats. Here we characterize the molecular details governing the sorting of a SNARE into clathrin-coated vesicles, namely the direct recognition of the three-helical bundle H(abc) domain of the mouse SNARE Vti1b by the human clathrin adaptor epsinR (EPNR, also known as CLINT1). Structures of each domain and of their complex show that this interaction (dissociation constant 22 muM) is mediated by surface patches composed of approximately 15 residues each, the topographies of which are dependent on each domain's overall fold. Disruption of the interface with point mutations abolishes the interaction in vitro and causes Vti1b to become relocalized to late endosomes and lysosomes. This new class of highly specific, surface-surface interaction between the clathrin coat component and the cargo is distinct from the widely observed binding of short, linear cargo motifs by the assembly polypeptide (AP) complex and GGA adaptors and is therefore not vulnerable to competition from standard motif-containing cargoes for incorporation into clathrin-coated vesicles. We propose that conceptually similar but mechanistically different interactions will direct the post-Golgi trafficking of many SNAREs.
A SNARE-adaptor interaction is a new mode of cargo recognition in clathrin-coated vesicles., Miller SE, Collins BM, McCoy AJ, Robinson MS, Owen DJ, Nature. 2007 Nov 22;450(7169):570-4. PMID:18033301

Does Repetition Improve Consistency?
AbstractMuch experimental effort has been expended in attempts to establish the relative superiority of Expected Utility theory and the many recently-developed alternatives as descriptions of the behaviour of subjects in risky choice decision problems. The cumulative evidence shows clearly that there is a great deal of noise in the experimental data, which makes it difficult to identify the `best' description of such behaviour. This paper reports on an experiment which seeks to determine whether such noise is relatively transitory and decays with experience and repetition, and thus whether a clearly `best' theory emerges as a result of such repetition. We find that for some subjects this does indeed appear to be the case, while for other subjects the noise remains high and the identification of the underlying preference function remains difficult.

I actually somewhat feel pretty today.
I've stuffed my face with my Grandma's Tuna Fish and Noodles and cookies, but somehow when I see this picture I don't feel quite as ugly. I think it's the necklace. I absolutely adore the necklace more than anything I own. Christmas was wonderful, even if I only received a couple of lame presents. I am thankful for what I received, knowing that it's more than 80% of the world received.
I am happy.
That's all that matters.

Kajol - She might not be the most beautiful actress around but she sure is one of the most talented ones. She was born into quite a talented gene pool taking into consideration her mother Tanuja and aunt Nutan. She is really versatile as an actor and has played the tom-boyish, non-glamorous roles (K2H2) with as much conviction as the demure & girly avatar in DDLJ.
Her screen presence is such that she can give any mainstream actor a run for his money. No wonder she was the most popular leading lady to be cast opposite the King Khan. People went berserk whenever this duo was seen on the screen together. But her popularity went far beyond her pairing with Shahrukh. What sets her apart from many other actresses is her devil-may-care attitude, down to earth mannerisms & that effervescent laugh. She never acts all hoity-toity and seems very approachable. Now married and a mother of two, she is still as popular and in demand as she was before.

While I'm a WoW fan, WoW's music pales in comparison to EQ2. The music is so inspired. After playing for 5 minutes on the old tutorial island, I was hooked on the game's music. The main thing that EQ2's music does better than WoW's is how emotive the music feels. The combat and dungeon music is standard fare, but most of the overland zone music just made the game come alive. Also, in the more aesthetically pleasing zones, the music just made you happy to be playing the game. I've never felt that in WoW.
If I had to sum it up, I'd say that WoW's music feels like "game music," while EQ2's music feels like orchestral music that just happens to be in a game.
(EQ2's sound format is also very nice --all you need to do is copy the music folder, slap on a title and album artwork with MediaMonkey, and you have the entire game soundtrack!)

Have to agree with you. The music for Antonica and Thundering Steppes still puts me in a happy place, and I haven't played EQ2 in 5 years.
