MSNBC: HPV Vaccine Attack Could Harm 'Innocent' Girls
Vaccines were the biggest losers in Monday's GOP presidential candidate's debate, specifically those that are intended to prevent cervical cancer. ... The main route of HPV infection is sex. That's why you need to vaccinate girls before they become sexually active. ... The vaccines are exceedingly safe, studies show. There have been very few reports of serious problems from them, none proven. It is simply a lie to say they can cause retardation (Arthur Caplan, 9/13).
The Washington Post: Bachmann's Wrongheaded Attack On HPV Vaccinations
About the only thing that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) gets right when she talks about the HPV vaccine is that she's not a scientist or a doctor. That lack of credentials, though, can't excuse the breathtaking ignorance that suffuses her comments about this critical health issue. Nor can it justify her demagoguery about a scientific advance that has the potential to protect thousands of women a year from contracting — and perhaps dying from — cancer (9/13).
The Wall Street Journal: Bachmann's Viral Politics
[S]ome of the [Republican] contenders seem determined to fulfill President Obama's caricature of conservatives as favoring no government at all. ... We revere "liberty interests" too, but kids aren't being strapped to gurneys here. The ethical and philosophical qualms about Mr. Perry's HPV bid are valid, but he was erring on the side of public health against a terrible disease in a country where six million people contract HPV every year (9/14).
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Bachmann's Foolish Attack On Vaccines
Michele Bachmann kept her fading presidential campaign alive on Monday night with a breathtaking act of political irresponsibility — smearing a vaccine that could save the lives of 4,000 or more American women each year. ... This antiscience, antivaccine political ploy raises even more doubts about Bachmann's already questionable judgment. She's doing again what she's done for years, wielding half-truths and outright prevarication for personal gain (9/13).
The Washington Post: 'Super Committee'? More Than Stupor Committee.
There are serious legislators on the panel — Democratic Sens. Patty Murray (Wash.) and Max Baucus (Mont.), and Republican Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio) and Rep. Dave Camp (Mich.) — but there are also enough hardened partisans to encourage a suspicion that the committee has been set up to fail. That probably means committee members will agree on little more than cuts to discretionary spending programs, such as the Pentagon, homeland security, veterans benefits, food safety and air-traffic control (Dana Milbank, 9/13).
Roll Call: Deficit Panel Could Change Economic World
There are many ways to restrain the growth curves of Social Security and Medicare without hitting core benefits for most recipients. Raising the Medicare age to 67 is feasible — but only if the Affordable Care Act is in place, providing alternative health insurance options for older Americans caught without jobs or Medicare (Norman Ornstein, 9/14).
Des Moines Register: We Need To Sort Fact From Fiction As Social Security Gets Dissected
We must continue pursuing reforms to slow the growth of costs in health care nationwide to make health insurance more affordable both for workers and retirees. But there is no factual basis for claims that there will be no Social Security and Medicare for future generations — unless voters elect representatives or a president determined to end the programs (Max Richtman, 9/14).
The Hill: Obama's Medicare Blunder
[The House passed] the Ryan plan with all but four House Republicans in support. All the rest just followed Ryan off the cliff, putting themselves on record in favor of a plan Americans overwhelmingly opposed. The Republicans had just, in their view, given away the 2012 election. Well, in Obama's jobs speech, he gave it right back to the Republicans by embracing his own version of Medicare cuts (Dick Morris, 9/13).
McClatchy: Working On The Exchange Gang
If you read the fine print in the first of the proposed "exchange" regulations, it becomes clear that the exchanges will be tightly regulated; insurance choices will be limited and dictated by Washington; and the federal government, rather than the states, will be in charge. … the 347-page proposal uses the word "require" more than 800 times and the word "must" nearly 440 times, according to a careful tally by a Capitol Hill staffer. Not much wiggle-room for the states there (Twila Brase, 9/14).
Politico: How Safe Is Your Medicine Cabinet?
It's been more than 70 years since the laws governing the nation's pharmaceutical industry were updated. ... Many regulations are woefully, and dangerously, outmoded, in the face of an increasingly globalized and opaque supply chain that is vulnerable to theft and criminal activity. ... Our system's lack of transparency makes it almost impossible to know who is actually handling our medicine (Sen. Michael Bennet, 9/13).
Denver Post: For Mentally Ill, Justice Fails Again
The news of a lawsuit alleging unconstitutional delays in evaluating mentally ill inmates by the state hospital in Pueblo is enough to leave Coloradans with the disoriented feeling that they're in a time warp. How many times must the courts be called in to protect the rights of this state's mentally ill? How often will budgetary pressure be cited as a reason for apparent neglect? (9/14).
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Building Partnerships
A collaboration among Milwaukee's largest institutions of higher learning and two of its hospitals is a sign that the leaders of these institutions appreciate that they are stronger together than apart (9/13).

I feel, that if you wanted to pursue marketing you photos, there would definitely be those who would buy them. You have the eye and soul of a photographer
. I'm a teacher and have been fortunate to have and work with some very talented young people. Whether they pursue photography as a career or not .. The talent is still there . It's an incredibly difficult business . Sometimes more so than the television biz I think and that I do know professionally . Try and see if there are shows or galleries you could present your work in. I bet you would get a very positive reaction Until then, enjoy your family and just keep on doing what your doing.
Ps thank you for the "follow". You have no idea how that made my day!
Well, if there is,indeed, a struggle… You are certainly winning. I shooting a Pentax Dslr but have a Mamiya 645 pro tl that I've gone back to using as well as a canon slr. I'm a teacher and am fortunate to have access to a full darkroom and scanners. Haven't done much film work in years since I repped a Time /Life photog here in Chicago . He was my mentor before I left for LA and produced tv shows for many years. I guess working in television has made me a bit suspicious so I'm always afraid to just throwing favorite shots on line. Your work is indeed special and I commend you for your fearless posting of it. If I were you, I'd be trying to market it…it's obvious from the notes you get that it's very well-liked!

... hopefully it's clearer then. Another bear encounter here as well. Mama and yearling cub about 100 ft. away. Most yearlings are on their own by June so we had a clingy mom or a reluctant-to-leave child but they hung around for about 10 minutes. I have now visited all 48 lower states and have only Biscayne Nat. Park in Miami left to visit. Sooo ...

Tameika / Fox
I am co-founder of the Spirits of the Earth Festival. I correspond,
organize events and design all advertising as well as the website,
among many, many other things. I believe the reason that I put so
much energy into Spirits of the Earth is to see people coming together.
To, offer an environment where people can learn and grow not only
as people but as spirits, learning the ways of olde, and creating
bonds with family, making new friends and strengthening old relationships.
A chance to educate folks on the earth and to bring awareness of
the healing that needs to take place. One thing that really opened
my eyes and pushed me to make this dream become a reality is a poem
that I read some time ago called "The Paradox". Download!
Well here it is my little piece of eternity. Wow, what can I say?
Where do I start?
Well…. Where do I begin? First of all I'd like to point out that Tameika is my sister and Fox is my brother-in-law. Although the in-law part always feels so detached. Over the last few years I have gone through a lot of up's and down's and have always found it hard to place myself in a setting where I feel comfortable. Once a year (since 2003) my feelings have changed, at least for a week, during the time I take for myself. Yes, you've got it, it's at the Spirits of the Earth Festival. Spiritsfest has kind of been my sanity from the outside trials and tribulations.
At Spiritsfest I am Tameika's right hand woman. What ever needs to be looked at or taken care of I'm there for her. I am also there if anyone has any questions or concerns, and I'm there to listen. I can usually be found in the registration office. I like to take walks around the grounds to familiarize myself with the faces I have seen previously, and all the new faces I see for the first time. I feel by taking this time to volunteer that I am becoming one with nature and bringing balance within myself. Tameika, Fox and I want everyone to have an enjoyable and memorable time at SOTEF. Which usually isn't hard to do, because the people involved in fest whether it's staff, friends or visitors always manages to wrap this blanket of positive energy around the grounds. Without you there, we wouldn't have the opportunity to embrace this energy that is created by all of the people who attend. Don't miss this chance to draw this amazing experience deep within your soul.
I am still learning about the different aspects of paganism. I have a strong interest in learning about the different stones, oils, incenses and my new discovered talent of making wind chimes. I have always loved the relaxing and soothing sounds. As the chimes make music solely from the sounds of the winds, I feel as if their telling a story. Tameika was actually the one who persisted that I share my new found talent with the people of fest. I'm grateful that others can enjoy them as much as I.
This festival is truly an amazing experience and I encourage you
to come down and check it out whether it's for the week, weekend
of just for the day. I know you won't regret it! Spirits of
the Earth Festival is a place where you can learn new things, and
make new friends. I look forward to seeing you all there.
Becca is honoured and thrilled to join the team at Spirits of the Earth Festival this season with 28 years of forbearance; she is a gifted natural artist and practicing Spiritualist. Becca is eager to bring her joy of crafting and drawing upon the infinite creativity to teach people to connect to the elemental energy each day through crafts and ritual preparation.
Once the owner of a numinous metaphysical bookshop and supplies emporium aptly called The Magick Box, Becca has been a popular earmark in local media including radio and newspaper spearheading community awareness through education, helping to change social perceptions and fighting against discrimination.
Nowadays, Becca focuses her boundless creative energy through her own product line Bekka Twisted that accents natural and recycled art. Enchanted for the opportunity to participate this year charged with three distinct roles,
Becca believes the annual celebration of light and magick 'Spirits of the Earth' intrinsically is in harmony with her own core values of community, education, growth and empowerment. Becca will be the first person you see this year in her capacity of official greeter before she moves on to conduct a series of elemental workshops and vend her unique Bekka Twisted line of custom crafts and creations.
I'm eighteen and have been a practicing Pagan for ten years, brought up in a (mostly) Pagan home. After being at SOTEF for most of those years, I am so excited to be on board as a staff member with the kids/teens programs this year. When I'm not at Spirits, I'm busy preparing to head off to Brantford, where I will be attending university for the next 5 years, completing a BA/BEd . I'm looking forward to another great year at Spirits, and I have no doubt that I'll have the pleasure of making the acquaintance of all you wonderful people there this year!
Unfortunately Casseia will be unable to join us for 2013, but we look forward to welcoming her back into the Faerie Garden next year.
Coming Soon!
I have been a practicing pagan for 11 years. I am a proud mom of
a beautiful and smart daughter that I am raising in a pagan home.
I am also a practicing aromatherapist and am in the process of trying
to build a business from it.
What to say? What to say? Well my name is Kirsten but I also go by K. I have always been called weird, six years ago I started going to K.G. and had a blast. I found so many like-minded weirdoes. I loved every part of it. That first fest I danced every night till dawn but I had no idea that was just the beginning. Two years ago when I was inadvertently introduced to my partner in crime I found out there was so much more. More fests, more fun, more friends! Last year was my first Spirits Fest and I couldn't have had more fun if I tried. Everyone was so welcoming I knew it wouldn't be my last.
I am crafty and love to create things. Painting, sculpture, jewelry, you name it I want to try it. I even do stuff with melted crayons. I also love to breathe fire and was so happy to be able to share it with you all last year. And yes there will be a repeat performance.
As for paganism I am still learning. I know just enough to know I know Nothing lol. I am interested in learning more and finding out what fits with me.
This year I will be helping out with the Kids program and I am super excited. I am really just a big kid myself. Know we will have so much fun.
I have always known who I was but I have been on a search for answers and the right questions throughout my journey. I love learning and experiencing all life has to offer.
I am a Woman, Wife and Mother and wear all titles (and bruises) proudly and loudly. I have been a student of the metaphysical and hands on healing for over 25 years. I have practiced and taught meditation. I have been a student of Reiki for over 15 years and have completed my Master/Teacher degree the healing art of USUI/Tibetan Reiki under three masters. I have completed 1st degree in Melody Love's "Earth Crystal Healing" and completed my training in "Blue Light Sound healing with tuning forks".
I have used my intuitions to teach, guide and encourage all those around me to be the best that they can be, follow their true pathways and to be true to themselves.
I am a lover of all creatures and currently bow down to and obey our two fur babies "9 yr. old Destiny" and "3 yr. old Bo"; both who managed to find me.
I have been married for a wonderful and spectacular 32 years to one of the most wonderful men that has graced this earth. Without my life partner Don, I would not be all that I am. He has supported and encouraged me in all my life's desires. He is a wonderful husband and father to our two extraordinary daughters Mandy (Tameika) and Diana and our son by marriage Ronn (Fox).
We support our children in their chosen paths. We have taught them to listen to their inner wisdom, follow their intuitions, their inner strengths and to always have the courage to follow their dreams.
I have been assisting with the festival since its "birth" and look forward to seeing you all at registration.
My wish is for all to be in tune with the universe and to feel
at peace within.
Rogers is still trying to get through the stiffness in his joints to write a bio for us...hopefully we will get one in this lifetime...or should I say this afterlife time?
Alex snow, is an eclectic pagan, one of the founding members of Toronto's Firedance Drum Circle, devout supporter and handyman, facilitator of awesomeness for many Ontario pagan festivals, and is a proud member of Pagans For A Stronger Community, a for profit organization he thought up before writing this last sentence.

How did Jimmy McGill become Saul Goodman?
AMC is amping up its advertising promotions for its upcoming Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul, first launching a Twitter account for the series and now releasing a new clip featuring creator Vince Gilligan and showrunner Peter Gould discussing the mystery of why Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) goes by Jimmy McGill in the series.
As fans of AMC's hit Breaking Bad know, Saul didn't always go by the name Saul, as he once referenced to Walter White (Bryan Cranston) that he had adopted a Jewish surname in order to better suit the "homeboys" who "wanted a member of the tribe" to represent them.
However, it now seems that there was a lot more to Saul's name change than previously thought. In the new video clip (seen below) Gilligan and Gould discuss the character's origins and the events that led him to the person he is later on in the Breaking Bad series.
Adding even more mystery to Saul/Jimmy's origins, AMC tweeted out a faux email for fans to use to contact Jimm McGill. Should you try contacting the address you receive the following automated response:
Thank you for thinking of James McGill for your legal needs! Unfortunately, my office is being fumigated at the moment. I had to evacuate with the rest of the lawyers before they mistook us for the vermin. (Ha ha!) I will respond as soon as I am able.
James M. McGill, Esq.
[email protected]
(505) 842-5662
Better Call Saul premieres in February 2015 on AMC.

two quite distinct implicit definitions are in use in the program. In one, it means translating the products of climate science into forms that are useful for decision makers; in the other, it centrally includes establishing communication between climate information producers and users that ensures that the information produced addresses users' decision needs and gets to them in useful ways. Evidence from multiple fields demonstrates that potentially valuable scientific information often goes unused, largely because of inadequate prior communication between the producers and users of the information. Considering this evidence, we recommend that SARP and NOAA adopt a broad definition of "decision support" that emphasizes communication.
The first question above states a mission goal far too ambitious for any program as small as SARP ($2.6 million in fiscal 2006). That mission is too large even with the combined budgets of SARP and two related programs, Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) and Transition of Research to Applications for Climate Services (TRACS) (about $7 million in fiscal 2006). SARP must therefore focus its efforts to make the best use of the limited resources available.
With SARP's very limited current and likely future budgets, we recommend that the program emphasize a few critical activities over the next several years. We recommend use-inspired science, workshops, and pilot programs, all directed to the basic need to make climate-related information more useful and to get it used appropriately.
We recommend that the Sectoral Applications Research Program support research to identify and foster the innovations needed to make information about climate variability and change more usable in specific sectors, including research on the processes that influence success or failure in the creation of knowledge-action networks for making climate information useful for decision making. This should be the major focus of the Sectoral Applications Research Program support over the next 3-5 years. Support should go to research that offers the largest potential benefit to decision making across sectors.
We recommend that the Sectoral Applications Research Program support several workshops each year for the next 3 years to identify, catalyze, and assess the potential of knowledge-action networks in sectors, defined by resource areas (e.g., water, coastal resources) or decision-making domains (e.g., emergency response, insurance,

First, this is an amazing site! Thanks to those who helped on my first question posted just 8 days ago. I only created my account late last week and it feels great to be surrounded by kindred spirits. Almost more importantly, I'm so grateful to be in touch with those who are actually bigger fans of THE BEATLES than I am and can answer some of my Fab Four questions.
Now, my next questions. While taking back to back "Magical Mystery Tours" on consecutive days in Liverpool during the summer of 2000, the tour guides claimed that John Lennon wrote "Do You Want To Know A Secret?" based on a line that Cynthia Lennon used to him to broach the subject of Brian Epstein's homosexuality. "Listen, Do You Want To Know A Secret?"
I know that John says that he based the song on "Wishing Well" from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". He also wrote the song while living in Brian's "secret" apartment that had been previously used for homosexual liaisons.
It's not really possible that John didn't know that Brian was gay by late 1962 or early 1963.
Therefore, is it believable that Cynthia didn't realize that John knew about Brian's homosexuality when they first got married and moved into Brian's apartment? Maybe she just didn't know about the prior purpose of where she was currently living.
Were my "Magical Mystery Tour" guides embellishing the truth?
Could John and Cynthia living in Brian's "secret" apartment sparked the writing of the song - the secret being the apartment itself and not Brian's sexual orientation? Or the fact that the rest of the world didn't know about Brian?
How plausible is it that John gave the song to George Harrison to sing since he may have wanted to divert any more attention from Brian than he was already getting? (I know that this is a stretch and they wanted to give George a song for "Please Please Me", but now I'm beginning to wonder.)
OK, leave it to the new "Beatles Bible" member from San Francisco to ask such questions, but if I was led astray by my Liverpool tour guides, I'd like to know.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am new as well, and really enjoy this site and forum. I had been reading the site for about a year before I made my account and its a great place. Also love any questions because we get to see what people who have been die-hard Beatle fans for longer then I have been alive, and well I get to put my two cents in so its nice.
I think it sounds like embellishment, but thats just my take on it all. John may have been inspired by all of those factors but unfortunately we will never know beyond what has already been said =/
1 May 2011
I think its pure fabrication personally and have no reason to doubt John's account of being inspired by his mother singing the line when younger. John was candid about most things throughout the 70's so why not that. There is nothing more to George singing DYWTKAS than John giving him a song to sing, i dont think John felt he could sing it himself anyway, tho neither did George when looking back on it.
All the beatles knew Brian was gay early on in their time together but were more intrigued than anything, it certainly wasnt an issue.
Welcome to the site by the way both of you. Feel free to ask anything and post like mad.
Hi Fab4Fan. I've never heard that story before, and (for all it's worth) I've read as many quotes and interviews by The Beatles about their songs as I can get my hands on. However, in Liverpool there's a strong tradition of folklore, and stories you won't hear anywhere else get passed around, so it *may* be true. Alternatively (and I mean this quite affectionately), the Scousers can bullshit like the best of them, so I'd be tempted to put it in the fabrication category.

Hi - yes I've heard this story before too, and the subject of possible BE/JL gay relationship it comes up quite a lot in the latest JL biography, and indeed that the song title at least is about this.
Let's not forget the two went off on holiday togtether just after Julian was born, leaving poor Cynth at home with the new-born!
3 May 2012
I don't think there was anything to that though. John and Brian were good friends, as well as colleagues of sort. Nobody says anything when anybody else goes on holiday with their friend/s, so why is this any different?
The only thing that I have heard from a reliable source (or something close) is that John was inspired by the start of the Disney song, and that's the only thing I'm likely to believe.

Well song title/inspiration there are all sorts of stories really ... even the fact that BE kileld himself is that his love for JL was unrequited, or even that he pushed and promoted them so hard at the beginning becuase he was so 'in love' with them.
Yeah I've heard all kinds of things - it's really quite amusing reading them all.
And I'm sure that Brian did push them a lot. I would say that it was because he could see a good buisness oportunity in them though.

Sorry but stories about a possible requited love relationship experience between John and Brian are complete and utter garbage. The stories have been going for years based on little more than rumour, titilation and selling power, at least since when Bob Wooler made insinuations to a drunk John at a birthday party in 1963 and John battered him senseless.
If something had of happened the beatles would have known and it would have come out at some point, probably during the Anthology, or John would have said something - and all that John said was that Brian was in love with him. In the Anthology book John is quoted as saying that on all that happened on holiday was that John and Brian would sit in cafes and John would say "does he turn you on?" (not a direct quote) and that whilst it was an intense relationship it was never consumated.
I actually think its quite insulting the idea that something had to happen because they went on holiday together. That 2 men, one gay the other not, cannot go on holiday together without them having sex.
The idea that Brian topped himself due to being helplessly in love with John. What next? People believing Paul died and was replaced by a lookalike? Oh. Erm. Maybe there are clues in the songs; one of those authors should spend their nights and days finding out - would save rubbish being printed.

Let's not forget the two went off on holiday togtether just after Julian was born, leaving poor Cynth at home with the new-born!
And, months later at Pau's 21st birthday party, John beat the shit out of some guy who implied that said holiday was some sort of clandestine homosexual affair. As for leaving Cynthia alone with Julian, I'm still inclined to believe they never would have married had John not knocked her up. Ironically, shortly before that, Paul had been in the same situation with his then-girlfriend Dot Rhone, but ultimately called off the engagement once she had a miscarriage.
And what's this about Brian killing himself? I always thought his overdose was ruled as accidental, a la Heath Ledger's.

worthy as a quick and decisive reaction to a threat whose impact lies largely in the future. Many now wonder whether this case offers lessons of value for those struggling to come to terms with other global changes, such as climate change and the loss of biological diversity.
Human activities are decreasing biological diversity on land, in fresh waters and the seas, in industrialized and developing nations, from the coldest inhabited lands to the tropics. But because of the huge variety of species confined to the tropical moist forests, their destruction is likely to cause more loss of biological diversity at the species level than any other human activity. Although the scale of this destruction is hard to measure accurately, recent estimates indicate that, on a world scale, an area of tropical moist forest roughly the size of Honduras is deforested or converted annually (Erwin, 1988), resulting in the extinction of species at a rate that has been estimated at 17,500 species per year, assuming 5 million species in the tropical moist forests (Wilson, 1988). The immediate, or proximal, causes of deforestation are easy to identify: the conversion of forest to agricultural use, logging, mining, industrial development (e.g., hydroelectric power), and the search for fuel wood and fodder. But what lies behind these proximal causes? A popular notion associates the destruction of tropical moist forests with population pressure. But the best analyses suggest that in some important forest regions, such as the Amazon, this argument explains, at most, only a small part of deforestation (see Chapter 3).
In fact, a constellation of distinct, though interacting, forces appears to be at work. The destruction of the tropical moist forest of Brazil's Amazon Basin offers an example. One key force manifests itself in the pressure of international markets for mineral and wood products, coupled with the country's interest in encouraging exports for the purpose of reducing its international debt. Public policies intended to promote economic development also contribute to the destruction of Amazonian forests (for example, government-sponsored road construction, hydroelectric power projects, and favorable tax treatment for large ranching operations, though the last has recently been withdrawn). Corporations cut trees to initiate mining and smelting operations, and more trees to fuel the processes. A frontier mentality encourages rapid use of forest resources on the assumption that there will

It's like a swelling pain, almost like a constant cramp, but it doesn't hurt when I breathe. Sometimes it feels like pain in my chest, too, or in my upper and lower back. What could it be?

text: War on Terror Hero Jack Bauer Returns in '24' Reboot this May Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 14 Jan 2014 post a comment The highly-acclaimed and hugely popular FOX series 24 is returning to television with a 12-part series called 24: Live Another Day starting May 5. Kiefer Sutherland returns as Jack Bauer, the role he played from 2001 to 2010, accompanied by Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe and former regulars Kim Raver and William Devane. The first show of the season will run two hours, followed by one-hour episodes starting May 12. Sutherland, speaking at the Television Critics Association winter meeting on Monday, said, "I'm about as anxious and wound up as I've been in a long time. There's a great impetus for all of us to create something new with the show." The series will look as it did before, with split screens and story lines weaving through each other, and will be shot in London. The action commences four years after the end of 24's final season, as the CIA will be tracking down Bauer. Sutherland said, "Things will be blowing up--cars, double decker buses, things like that. I'm sure we'll be hated by a large portion of London for snarling up their traffic here and there, and for that I apologize in advance." Oscar nominee Judy Davis and Yvonne Strahovski of Dexter and Chuck fame will also join the cast. Rajskub said, "I have a lot of people who refuse to call me anyone but Chloe. I never thought `24' would come back and in this format." Sutherland said of a prospective 24 feature film, "If this (the new series) ends up rebooting the show or causing a film to be made, so be it," adding that a film would be "very, very different … The film is sort of an ongoing situation."

Academic Writing: Exploring Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Approaches
Credits: 4
Faculty: Emily Lardner, 867-6637
Days & Times: 6-9:30p Mon
Location: SEM 2 E2107
Enrollment: 25
Note: This description was significantly altered on Nov. 20, 2009.
Evergreen grads are expected to be able to apply qualitative, quantitative, and creative modes of inquiry to practical and theoretical problems—but what does this actually look like? To that end, what can we learn by studying the approaches taken by expert writers to contemporary problems, particularly as they draw upon a range of disciplines and modes of inquiry? Expect to do strategic reading about current topics—climate change, social justice and the global economy, and quality education, plus another topic of your choosing. Each student will do a series of short exercises and drafts, building towards a longer inquiry-based project. The focus of that project will be based on your strengths, interests, and/or work you are doing in another program.
Students enrolling in this class are encouraged to co-register for Class in the U.S. or Public Thinking and Public Health. See www.evergreen.edu/eveningandweekend/integratedstudies for details.

Experiments in Text: Radical Poetry, Politics, and Pedagogy
Credits: 4
Faculty: David Wolach
Days & Times: 6-8p Wed, 4-6p Sat
Location: SEM 2 E3109
Enrollment: 25
"Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world." - Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
"as the eyes / near wreck / to create / when they see"
-- Louis Zukovsky (4 Other Countries)
If we think that language arts and radical politics are somehow related, how might poetry, for example, model new ways of forming social relationships? How might experiments in text re-imagine or apprehend social structures, and in so doing, help to either undermine or recapitulate dominant forms of acculturation? And how might roles in often predetermined environments, such as the university, inform or constrain our creative experiments? In contemporary text arts, there is new found interest in what, as Rodrigo Toscano has put it, "the poem can do." Throughout the quarter, students will work on their own creative manuscripts but they will also work in groups (alternative learning labs) on developing new models for radical education. In the first half of the quarter, students will look at a handful of radical poetic-pedagogical models, and based on these and their own creative writing, will develop their own text arts courses. In the second half of the quarter, student groups will test these models out by taking each others' courses. Students need not have any prior experience with poetry or political economy to take this course, though it will be helpful to their classmates if they do. Students will be encouraged to write and think dynamically, and, where appropriate, to move outside the classroom and the campus into the larger Olympia community.

No sex, please: Deborah Thomas and Ita Buttrose at the magazine's 25th anniversary party with models including Jamie Durie. Photo: Jim Lee
More than 40 years after shaking up women's magazines with its racy mix of centrefolds and sealed sections, Cleo magazine is starting another revolution by dropping sex from the cover.
When its relaunch issue with Miranda Kerr on the cover hits the newsstands on Monday, readers will not see a word about orgasms or oral sex. New editor Sharri Markson believes it is the first time since the magazine was launched in 1972 that sex has not been used as a selling point.
The shift is driven by the attitudes of the magazine's generation Y readers, most of whom live at home with their families and show a surprisingly conservative streak.
Celebrations: A fourth-birthday poster featuring Rory O'Donoghue. Photo: Supplied
''They are embarrassed to be sitting at home with their parents reading a magazine which has the word 'orgasm' in bold print on the cover,'' she said.
When the magazine was launched with Ita Buttrose at the helm, readers used to hide the magazine from their husbands or boyfriends due to its saucy content, in particular the male centrefold, which featured the likes of Jack Thompson, Red Symons and Rory O'Donoghue.
Mamamia editor and publisher Mia Freedman, who started her career at Cleo, said the cheeky irreverence the magazine in that era and into the 1980s and '90s would not wash with today's generation. ''Generation Ys are lovely but they are a lot more conservative these days,'' she said.

She recalled the time former editor Lisa Wilkinson ran a nude photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger with his modesty protected by underwear made of a thin chemical coating readers could scratch off. ''We thought it was hilarious. Some readers scratched so hard, they went right through the page.''
But scratch-off undies might not provoke the same response in today's young, with Cleo's research of 1500 women aged 14 to 26 revealing a strong streak of conservatism. Almost 70 per cent live at home with one or both parents, 66 per cent are single, 41 per cent have not had sex and only 7 per cent said they had had a recent one night stand.

As careers in science, technology, engineering, and math become more prevalent, community colleges are shifting their focus to meet demand and secure their place in a rapidly changing educational landscape.
A recent study reveals that job applicants with a credential or associate's degree from a community college have slightly better chances of getting a job interview than students who attend a for-profit college or university. Since community colleges are much more budget friendly than for-profit institutions and have much better job placement results, community colleges are a much better option for employment-minded students.
Nearly 52 percent of community college students in the United States begin their freshman year in at least one remedial class. These courses, which help students acquire knowledge and skills they should have acquired in high school, do not count toward their degree requirements. As a result, students are taking longer than ever to obtain their degree, if they obtain one at all.

A clutch is a mechanical device that engages and disengages the power transmission, especially from driving shaft to driven shaft.
Clutches are used whenever the transmission of power or motion must be controlled either in amount or over time (e.g., electric screwdrivers limit how much torque is transmitted through use of a clutch; clutches control whether automobiles transmit engine power to the wheels).
In the simplest application, clutches connect and disconnect two rotating shafts (drive shafts or line shafts). In these devices, one shaft is typically attached to a motor or other power unit (the driving member) while the other shaft (the driven member) provides output power for work. While typically the motions involved are rotary, linear clutches are also possible.
In a torque-controlled drill, for instance, one shaft is driven by a motor and the other drives a drill chuck. The clutch connects the two shafts so that they may be locked together and spin at the same speed (engaged), locked together but spinning at different speeds (slipping), or unlocked and spinning at different speeds (disengaged).
|This article may have too many section headers dividing up its content. (May 2014)
The vast majority of clutches ultimately rely on frictional forces for their operation. The purpose of friction clutches is to connect a moving member to another that is moving at a different speed or stationary, often to synchronize the speeds, and/or to transmit power. Usually, as little slippage (difference in speeds) as possible between the two members is desired.
Various materials have been used for the disc-friction facings, including asbestos in the past. Modern clutches typically use a compound organic resin with copper wire facing or a ceramic material. A typical coefficient of friction used on a friction disc surface is 0.35 for organic and 0.25 for ceramic. Ceramic materials are typically used in heavy applications such as racing or heavy-duty hauling, though the harder ceramic materials increase flywheel and pressure plate wear.
Friction-disc clutches generally are classified as push type or pull type depending on the location of the pressure plate fulcrum points. In a pull-type clutch, the action of pressing the pedal pulls the release bearing, pulling on the diaphragm spring and disengaging the vehicle drive. The opposite is true with a push type, the release bearing is pushed into the clutch disengaging the vehicle drive. In this instance, the release bearing can be known as a thrust bearing (as per the image above).
A clutch damper is a device that softens the response of the clutch engagement/disengagement. In automotive applications, this is often provided by a mechanism in the clutch disc centres. In addition to the damped disc centres, which reduce driveline vibration, pre-dampers may be used to reduce gear rattle at idle by changing the natural frequency of the disc. These weaker springs are compressed solely by the radial vibrations of an idling engine. They are fully compressed and no longer in use once the main damper springs take up drive.
Mercedes truck examples: A clamp load of 33 kN is normal for a single plate 430. The 400 Twin application offers a clamp load of a mere 23 kN. Bursts speeds are typically around 5,000 rpm with the weakest point being the facing rivet.
Modern clutch development focuses its attention on the simplification of the overall assembly and/or manufacturing method. For example drive straps are now commonly employed to transfer torque as well as lift the pressure plate upon disengagement of vehicle drive. With regard to the manufacture of diaphragm springs, heat treatment is crucial. Laser welding is becoming more common as a method of attaching the drive plate to the disc ring with the laser typically being between 2-3KW and a feed rate 1m/minute.
This type of clutch has several driving members interleaved or "stacked" with several driven members. It is used in racing cars including F1, IndyCar, World Rally and even most club racing, motorcycles, automatic transmissions and in some diesel locomotives with mechanical transmissions. It is also used in some electronically controlled all-wheel drive systems as well as in some transfer cases
A wet clutch is immersed in a cooling lubricating fluid that also keeps surfaces clean and provides smoother performance and longer life. Wet clutches, however, tend to lose some energy to the liquid. Since the surfaces of a wet clutch can be slippery (as with a motorcycle clutch bathed in engine oil), stacking multiple clutch discs can compensate for the lower coefficient of friction and so eliminate slippage under power when fully engaged. The Hele-Shaw clutch was a wet clutch that relied entirely on viscous effects, rather than on friction.[1]
A dry clutch, as the name implies, is not bathed in liquid and should be, literally, dry.
A centrifugal clutch is used in some vehicles (e.g., mopeds) and also in other applications where the speed of the engine defines the state of the clutch, for example, in a chainsaw. This clutch system employs centrifugal force to automatically engage the clutch when the engine rpm rises above a threshold and to automatically disengage the clutch when the engine rpm falls low enough. The system involves a clutch shoe or shoes attached to the driven shaft, rotating inside a clutch bell attached to the output shaft. The shoe(s) are held inwards by springs until centrifugal force overcomes the spring tension and the shoe(s) make contact with the bell, driving the output. In the case of a chainsaw this allows the chain to remain stationary whilst the engine is idling; once the throttle is pressed and the engine speed rises, the centrifugal clutch engages and the cutting chain moves. See Saxomat and Variomatic.
As the name implies, a cone clutch has conical friction surfaces. The cone's taper means that a given amount of movement of the actuator makes the surfaces approach (or recede) much more slowly than in a disc clutch. As well, a given amount of actuating force creates more pressure on the mating surfaces. The best known example of a cone clutch is a synchronizer ring in a manual transmission. The synchronizer ring is responsible for "synchronizing" the speeds of the shift hub and the gear wheel to ensure a smooth gear change.
Also known as a slip clutch or safety clutch, this device allows a rotating shaft to slip when higher than normal resistance is encountered on a machine. An example of a safety clutch is the one mounted on the driving shaft of a large grass mower. The clutch yields if the blades hit a rock, stump, or other immobile object, thus avoiding a potentially damaging torque transfer to the engine, possibly twisting or fracturing the crankshaft.
Motor-driven mechanical calculators had these between the drive motor and gear train, to limit damage when the mechanism jammed, as motors used in such calculators had high stall torque and were capable of causing damage to the mechanism if torque wasn't limited.
Carefully designed clutches operate, but continue to transmit maximum permitted torque, in such tools as controlled-torque screwdrivers.
Some clutches are not designed to slip; torque may only be transmitted either fully engaged or disengaged to avoid catastrophic damage. An example of this is the dog clutch, most commonly used in non-synchromesh transmissions.
There are different designs of vehicle clutch but most are based on one or more friction discs pressed tightly together or against a flywheel using springs. The friction material varies in composition depending on many considerations such as whether the clutch is "dry" or "wet". Friction discs once contained asbestos but this has been largely eliminated. Clutches found in heavy duty applications such as trucks and competition cars use ceramic plates that have a greatly increased friction coefficient. However, these have a "grabby" action generally considered unsuitable for passenger cars. The spring pressure is released when the clutch pedal is depressed thus either pushing or pulling the diaphragm of the pressure plate, depending on type. However, raising the engine speed too high while engaging the clutch causes excessive clutch plate wear. Engaging the clutch abruptly when the engine is turning at high speed causes a harsh, jerky start. This kind of start is necessary and desirable in drag racing and other competitions, where speed is more important than comfort.
In a modern car with a manual transmission the clutch is operated by the left-most pedal using a hydraulic or cable connection from the pedal to the clutch mechanism. On older cars the clutch might be operated by a mechanical linkage. Even though the clutch may physically be located very close to the pedal, such remote means of actuation are necessary to eliminate the effect of vibrations and slight engine movement, engine mountings being flexible by design. With a rigid mechanical linkage, smooth engagement would be near-impossible because engine movement inevitably occurs as the drive is "taken up."
The default state of the clutch is engaged - that is the connection between engine and gearbox is always "on" unless the driver presses the pedal and disengages it. If the engine is running with clutch engaged and the transmission in neutral, the engine spins the input shaft of the transmission, but no power is transmitted to the wheels.
The clutch is located between the engine and the gearbox, as disengaging it is required to change gear. Although the gearbox does not stop rotating during a gear change, there is no torque transmitted through it, thus less friction between gears and their engagement dogs. The output shaft of the gearbox is permanently connected to the final drive, then the wheels, and so both always rotate together, at a fixed speed ratio. With the clutch disengaged, the gearbox input shaft is free to change its speed as the internal ratio is changed. Any resulting difference in speed between the engine and gearbox is evened out as the clutch slips slightly during re-engagement.
Clutches in typical cars are mounted directly to the face of the engine's flywheel, as this already provides a convenient large diameter steel disk that can act as one driving plate of the clutch. Some racing clutches use small multi-plate disk packs that are not part of the flywheel. Both clutch and flywheel are enclosed in a conical bellhousing, which (in a rear-wheel drive car) usually forms the main mounting for the gearbox.
A few cars, notably the Alfa Romeo Alfetta, Porsche 924, and Chevrolet Corvette (since 1997), sought a more even weight distribution between front and back[note 1] by placing the weight of the transmission at the rear of the car, combined with the rear axle to form a transaxle. The propeller shaft between front and rear rotates continuously as long as the engine is running, even if the clutch is disengaged or the transmission is in neutral.
Motorcycles typically employ a wet clutch with the clutch riding in the same oil as the transmission. These clutches are usually made up of a stack of alternating plain steel and friction plates. Some plates have lugs on their inner diameters that lock them to the engine crankshaft. Other plates have lugs on their outer diameters that lock them to a basket that turns the transmission input shaft. A set of coil springs or a diaphragm spring plate force the plates together when the clutch is engaged.
On motorcycles the clutch is operated by a hand lever on the left handlebar. No pressure on the lever means that the clutch plates are engaged (driving), while pulling the lever back towards the rider disengages the clutch plates through cable or hydraulic actuation, allowing the rider to shift gears or coast. Racing motorcycles often use slipper clutches to eliminate the effects of engine braking, which, being applied only to the rear wheel, can cause instability.
Cars use clutches in places other than the drive train. For example, a belt-driven engine cooling fan may have a heat-activated clutch. The driving and driven members are separated by a silicone-based fluid and a valve controlled by a bimetallic spring. When the temperature is low, the spring winds and closes the valve, which lets the fan spin at about 20% to 30% of the shaft speed. As the temperature of the spring rises, it unwinds and opens the valve, allowing fluid past the valve, makes the fan spin at about 60% to 90% of shaft speed. Other clutches—such as for an air conditioning compressor—electronically engage clutches using magnetic force to couple the driving member to the driven member.
When inactive it is disengaged and the driven member is stationary. When "tripped", it locks up solidly (typically in a few to tens of milliseconds) and rotates the driven member just one full turn. If the trip mechanism is operated when the clutch would otherwise disengage the clutch remains engaged. Variants include half-revolution (and other fractional-revolution) types. These were an essential part of printing telegraphs such as teleprinter page printers, as well as electric typewriters, notably the IBM Selectric. They were also found in motor-driven mechanical calculators; the Marchant had several of them. They are also used in farm machinery and industry. Typically, these were a variety of dog clutch.
Single-revolution clutches in teleprinters were of this type. Basically the spring was kept expanded (details below) and mostly out of contact with the driving sleeve, but nevertheless close to it. One end of the spring was attached to a sleeve surrounding the spring. The other end of the spring was attached to the driven member inside which the drive shaft could rotate freely. The sleeve had a projecting tooth, like a ratchet tooth. A spring-loaded pawl pressed against the sleeve and kept it from rotating. The wrap spring's torque kept the sleeve's tooth pressing against the pawl. To engage the clutch, an electromagnet attracted the pawl away from the sleeve. The wrap spring's torque rotated the sleeve, which permitted the spring to contract and wrap tightly around the driving sleeve. Load torque tightened the wrap so it did not slip once engaged. If the pawl were held away from the sleeve the clutch would continue to drive the load without slipping. When the clutch was to disengage power was disconnected from the electromagnet and the pawl moved close to the sleeve. When the sleeve's tooth contacted the pawl the sleeve and the load's inertia unwrapped the spring to disengage the clutch. Considering that the drive motors in some of these (such as teleprinters for news wire services) ran 24 hours a day for years the spring could not be allowed to stay in close contact with the driving cylinder; wear would be excessive. The other end of the spring was fastened to a thick disc attached to the driven member. When the clutch locked up the driven mechanism coasted and its inertia rotated the disc until a tooth on it engaged a pawl that kept it from reversing. Together with the restraint at the other end of the spring created by the trip pawl and sleeve tooth, this kept the spring expanded to minimize contact with the driving cylinder. These clutches were lubricated with conventional oil, but the wrap was so effective that the lubricant did not defeat the grip. These clutches had long operating lives, cycling for tens, maybe hundreds of millions of cycles without need of maintenance other than occasional lubrication with recommended oil.
These superseded wrap-spring single-revolution clutches in page printers, such as teleprinters, including the Teletype Model 28 and its successors, using the same design principles. As well, the IBM Selectric typewriter had several of them. These were typically disc-shaped assemblies mounted on the drive shaft. Inside the hollow disc-shaped housing were two or three freely floating pawls arranged so that when the clutch was tripped, the load torque on the first pawl to engage created force to keep the second pawl engaged, which in turn kept the third one engaged. The clutch did not slip once locked up. This sequence happened quite fast, on the order of milliseconds. The first pawl had a projection that engaged a trip lever. If the lever engaged the pawl, the clutch was disengaged. When the trip lever moved out of the way the first pawl engaged, creating the cascaded lockup just described. As the clutch rotated it would stay locked up if the trip lever were out of the way, but if the trip lever engaged the clutch would quickly unlock.
These mechanisms were found in some types of synchronous-motor-driven electric clocks. Many different types of synchronous clock motors were used, including the pre-World War II Hammond manual-start clocks. Some types of self-starting synchronous motors always started when power was applied, but in detail, their behaviour was chaotic and they were equally likely to start rotating in the wrong direction. Coupled to the rotor by one (or possibly two) stages of reduction gearing was a wrap-spring clutch-brake. The spring did not rotate. One end was fixed; the other was free. It rode freely but closely on the rotating member, part of the clock's gear train. The clutch-brake locked up when rotated backwards, but also had some spring action. The inertia of the rotor going backwards engaged the clutch and wound the spring. As it unwound, it restarted the motor in the correct direction. Some designs had no explicit spring as such—but were simply compliant mechanisms. The mechanism was lubricated and wear did not present a problem.

Huh??? Wow That's a stretch and a half. Most of that is so absurd I wouldn't know where to begin to discuss it. Just trust that it is made up of whole cloth and not even based on Mormon theology. they only piece that I can discuss is the verse that forbids adding to or taking away from the book in Revelations 22. The book of Revelations was written by John while in captivity on the Isle of Patmos. It referred only to that revelation. The Bible was not compiled with Revelation as the last book until several centuries later. Incidentally there is a similar verse in Deuteronomy. Shall we assume that anything written after that is invalid?
