Active Remedy Ltd.
Active Remedy Ltd. is a Not for Profit, Ltd Company, registered in the U.K in 2005, for the purpose of protecting the global freshwater cycle. The founding Directors are Stella Joy and Tara Joy.http://www.activeremedy.org.uk/pages/Since 2003 the Directors of Active Remedy Ltd have become aware of a major imbalance in the global freshwater cycle and the inherent threat this poses to the majority of life on Earth if not remedied. Applying both insight and foresight we began research into this problem and how to conceivably remedy it; through focusing essentially on the environmental factors, which maintain this cycle. Our main focus has been mountains and their natural Eco-systems.We consider that this problem and how to resolve it needs to be contemplated from many angles. Here is a link to a paper we had published on the subject in 2008, which can now be found in the Academia Education website.http://www.academia.edu/4784077/Linking_Local_Health_Tradition_with_Biodiversity_Conservation_and_Sustainable_Development"When considering freshwater it is vital to consider mountain regions. They play an extremely crucial and irreplaceable role in the hydrological processes of the planet and in the regional hydrology of all continents."(Roots and Glen 1982).Mountain regions cover approximately 25% of the Earths' land surface and source between 60% and 80% of Earths' freshwater. All of Earths rivers have their headwaters and origins in them. They are also known as the 'Water Towers' of the world and provide critical storage of freshwater in the form of glaciers, ice and snow. Many streams and rivers would cease to flow entirely if their headwaters and watersheds were not fed by the seasonal melting of these snows. Such valuable storage of fresh water is vital for all life on Earth."However nowadays glaciers and mountain snows are retreating, shrinking and thinning rapidly in all regions of the world and the degradation of permafrost is accelerating." (UNEP WGMS 2008). This situation threatens the freshwater and food supply and security for the majority of life on Earthhttp://activeremedy.org.uk/pages/?s=third_poleWe also examined the relationship between mixed indigenous mountain forests, the freshwater cycle, bio precipitation and climate regulation. We discovered that a huge proportion of these forests have been removed on a global scale within recent decades and that enormous monoculture pine plantations have been used to replace them.http://activeremedy.org.uk/pages/?s=global_deforestationThrough further research in to bio-precipitation we became aware that mixed indigenous mountain forests play a major role in the transformational process of H2O moving from gas, to solid and liquid forms, which pine alone can not do effectively. Through further investigation, we realized that greenhouse gas, so dramatically increased by the escalation of carbons is also increased by water vapor unable to return to Earth as ice, snow and water through bio-precipitation. Water vapor H2O is a very powerful greenhouse gas, which normally stays in the atmosphere for around nine days. However if it is not brought to Earth through precipitation, it rises into the upper atmosphere and increases the problems of the greenhouse effect and thus exacerbates 'Global Warming' (Santer 2007). Applying this knowledge we have become aware that 'Climate Change' not only adversely affects mountain regions but that mountain regions also have a direct and powerful affect on 'Climate Change'. Permafrost, ice and snow in the high Himalayas regulate the climate for the entire Northern Hemisphere (Zhang Yongze).Integrating all this knowledge it has become very clear to us that these mountain forests are essential for the healthy functioning of the global fresh water cycle. Therefore they are also crucial for mitigating many of the impending 'Climate Change' related disasters. Consequently we have been working on formulating a sustainable development model that could be used for the restoration and preservation of indigenous mountain forests globally. Supporting and educating rural mountain communities as stewards of fresh water and natural resources, creating green economies and promoting gender equality are fundamental and essential aspects of this model. It is also important that we listen to and work directly with these communities, to apply the wisdom of their traditional knowledge systems.http://activeremedy.org.uk/pages/?s=feasibility_studyApplying this knowledge and using foresight, we began conceiving ideas of how to replace these mixed indigenous mountain forests approximately 25% globally within 30 years. The ideas, which we are proposing have been evolved from years of communicating with mountain communities, groups, scientists and specialists. This has been with the purpose of identifying specific needs and requirements, to enable it to be effective and long term sustainable. This model is a permaculture model, combining the traditional knowledge of Sacred Groves, along with green belts/ corridors. This model demonstrates innovative, restorative and preservation techniques along with practical methods for building and sustaining healthy mountain communities and their environments. We believe that the method, which we have formulated, has the potential to be used successfully as a template worldwide. We have termed this model: 'The Sacred Groves and Green Belt/Corridor Method For Repairing the Roof of the World.'The link below gives supportive research along with some ideas of how humanity could work together collectively to do this critical work and potentially realize a common sustainable future. For this to succeed many individuals and groups need to join together to frame and activate a global action plan.http://activeremedy.org.uk/pages/?s=watercycle_paperIn early 2012 we submitted ideas for the U.N.S.D Zero Draft paper concerning fresh water, mountains and the importance of the ecosystems, which maintain and regulate the fresh water cycle.[We stress the importance of protecting the mountain environments, which are the major sources of rivers and freshwater and the preservation of the environmental factors, which maintain the continued regenerative cycle of freshwater- Active Remedy Ltd.]At the U.N.C.S.D Rio+20 in 2012 the importance of these environmental factors were acknowledged and included into the new Sustainable Development Document."We recognize the key role that ecosystems play in maintaining water quantity and quality and support actions within the respective national boundaries to protect and sustainably manage these ecosystems." (The Future We Want RES/A/66/288 para.122)In June 2012 we attended the U.N Sustainable Development Conference in Rio, where we displayed an exhibition of our work in the Mountain Pavilion, hosted by Peru in Athletes Park.http://activeremedy.org.uk/pages/?s=exhibition_rio20Since then we have been mainly focused on U.N Water Security and the Post 2015 Agenda. This has involved us submitting work to the U.N, the E.U Commission and being invited to become part of the Beyond 2015 Water Drafting Committee.) ( Related papers are in the links below)http://www.beyond2015.org/sites/default/files/Position%20paper%20Water.pdfOn the 25th September 2012 we added input into the U.N-Water Analytical Brief, which was being framed to form the foundation for U.N Water Security. We are very pleased to say that our input was acceptedhttp://activeremedy.org.uk/pages/?s=news_UN_waterThe Analytical Brief was released on World Water Day 22/3/13http://www.unwater.org/UNW_ABWS_launch.htmlIn recent years, the issue of freshwater security has been taken more seriously in the global political agenda for its relevant links to peace, national and international security and its implications for Post 2015 and Sustainable Development issues."Water security is embedded in development goals – as shown through the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – and lies at the heart of progress and needs to continue to be included in the future." (U.N Water Security paper August 2012)Water Security is so crucial and of such immense importance that it ought to be included and even given central place to virtually every issue. We believe that many issues would be far more easily resolvable for long-term benefit if this was done."Water security needs to be included in the formulation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDG process must incorporate a goal and related targets for achieving water security, as this will address multiple priority development areas under consideration: conflict and fragility; environmental sustainability; growth and employment; health, hunger, food and nutrition; inequities; energy; and of course, water. It is safe to state that investment in water security is a long-term pay-off for human development and economic growth, with immediate visible short-term gains." (U.N Analytical Brief 22/3/13)It has now been concluded by U.N Water that the ecosystems and environments, such as the hydrological cycle, which maintain essential services needed for all life on Earth are threatened with collapse if not given appropriate and immediate attention."Maintaining the integrity of ecosystems before they become compromised is an essential component of achieving water security and reducing the potential for conflicts. The continuous pace of human development is threatening the capacity of ecosystems to adapt, raising concerns that ecosystems will reach a tipping point after which they are no longer able to provide sustaining functions and services, and will become unable to recover their integrity and functions (Maas, 2012). Establishing sustainability boundaries will set the capacity of ecosystems before their limit is surpassed, acting as a preventative measure before crises and conflicts arise."(U.N Water Security paper August 2012).http://inweh.unu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/WaterSecurity_The-Global-Water-Crisis.pdfWith this knowledge the key roles that ecosystems, especially mountains, mixed indigenous mountain forests and wetlands play in maintaining freshwater quantity and quality globally, need to be given top priority. Supportive efforts that protect, sustainably manage and restore these ecosystems need to be undertaken as a matter of urgency for water security, which is central to national and international security."Ensuring that ecosystems are protected and conserved is central to achieving water security – both for people and for nature. Ecosystems are vital to sustaining the quantity and quality of water available within a watershed, on which both nature and people rely. Maintaining the integrity of ecosystems is essential for supporting the diverse needs of humans, including domestic, agricultural, energy and industrial water use, and for the sustainability of ecosystems, including protecting the water-provisioning services they provide." (U.N Analytical Brief 22/3/13)Although the concept of universal access to clean water and sanitation is a worthwhile ideal and aim, it is impossible to realize it, if the very freshwater cycle itself is compromised and unable to fulfill its natural function. Recognizing that the restoration and conservation of all ecosystems, which the global freshwater cycle is dependent upon, is central to all national and international security, it becomes imperative that actions, which support these ecosystems, are taken imminently. In doing so long-term SDG's and Post MDG's, which honor human rights can be potentially fulfilled and the worthy endeavors of so many can be honored."Water, economic and environmental security are inherently interconnected. Human life is intimately linked to, and utterly dependent on, the functions and services provided by freshwater ecosystems. Safe, reliable water supplies, flood protection, commercial and subsistence fisheries, cultural and spiritual values – the very foundations of economic development and human well-being – all depend on maintaining the integrity of the planet's aquatic ecosystems." (U.N Water Security August 2012)Given that it has finally been officially recognized, that the protection and conservation of Eco-systems, which maintain quality and quantity of global freshwater is central to all Water Security, which is central to all National and International Security including all Human Rights; it becomes imperative that actions, which support and conserve these Eco-systems, are taken imminently.Through understanding that the Eco-systems of Earth are interconnected and interdependent and that global security is at risk, new ideas can form and spread quickly, creating the momentum for the major transformation required for achieving long-term environmental sustainability.If we are to reverse the degradation of the environmental systems that support civilization and all life, we need to act now. For the MAHB vision of a world moving rapidly towards sustainability in 2050 the protection and re balancing of the global freshwater cycle needs to be addressed and attended to. This is an urgent, innovative, exciting and challenging issue, which could unite MAHB members along with many others in a globally connected action plan.We are interested in forming collaborative alliances to achieve this crucial goal through establishing a feasibility study to guide a worldwide action plan. We welcome organizations and individuals to contact us, communicate ideas and to utilize our research for the purpose of preserving and protecting the global freshwater cycle and maintaining Water Security.Thank you for your consideration.More Active Remedy Ltd.

ISTANBUL, Turkey – A bomb blast at a building housing a Masonic lodge killed at least two people and wounded five others Tuesday, police said. News reports blamed at least one suicide bomber, just months after four deadly terror strikes in this city.
Turkey's NTV and CNN television stations reported that a third person was killed in the explosion, adding that it had occurred on the Asian side of the Bosphorus Straits that bisect Turkey's largest city. NTV said two of the dead were believed to be suicide bombers.
CNN-Turk television said a man chanting "Allah, Allah" entered the building and detonated an explosive. Authorities acknowledged that the blast was caused by a bomb, but would not immediately confirm that a suicide bomber was behind the attack.
Ambulances and firefighters rushed to the scene in the residential Kartal district, the Anatolia news agency said.
The Masons, a highly secretive society that traces its roots to medieval craft associations, are active in this predominantly Muslim but strictly secular country.
Four suicide attacks against two synagogues, the British Consulate and a British bank killed 62 people in Istanbul in November. Prosecutors have indicted 69 people suspected of belonging to a local Al-Qaida cell in the case. Also, underground leftist and Kurdish groups are active in Istanbul.

But the real reason I want to take this show to task is because it is Exhibit A of a TV trend I'm officially tired of. It might have been funny, a long time ago, for two straight men to constantly fend off the suggestion that they are gay (though perhaps for GLBTQ people, these kinds of jokes were never all that funny). But there are a few reasons I've grown very tired of this particular trope (which also occurs a little too frequently for my taste on the otherwise good "Sherlock").
… it's past time to stop treating gay, lesbian and trans characters as The Other. When "Seinfeld" introduced the phrase "not that there's anything wrong with that" in connection to the possibility of a character being gay, GLBTQ characters were a rarity on TV and thus that joke may have served as a sort of crude but useful enlightening tool. Now that kind of joke — "We're close friends, but we're not gay!" — feels like a distancing technique, something that draws attention to gays and lesbians as something out of the norm.
And honestly, who cares? In this day and age, are you telling me that two men who are best friends would constantly have to deal with the assumption that they're gay? I just find the whole idea fairly preposterous. Who doesn't know straight men who hang out all the time without anyone thinking about or guessing about their sexuality? How is drawing attention to not-gayness, at this point, anything but a representation of lingering shreds of mild but unmistakable gay panic?
… More to the point, the show makes nonsexual male intimacy seem weird or odd, which it isn't — I want to take this moment to introduce the "We're friends, but we're not gay" schtick to the Cliche Hall of Fame."—HuffPo TV Critic Maureen Ryan on USA's new show "Common Law" (via king-renly-baratheon)
Seriously. We need to tag every positive, beautiful picture we reblog as 'fat'. Because right now it is filled with so much hate. People hating themselves, being cruel to other people, tearing themselves and one another down. It's just wrong. So from now on, pretty much everything I post will be tagged with FAT. I want to be able to search fat and not be triggered by how much negativity they're throwing around in there.
FYFPUG will be doing this from here on out.

I don't think that's supposed to happen.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
(First Steps, Starting Points, and Juvenilia)
Walter Carlos1 - "Moog 900 Series Demo"
More so than any other artist, Wendy Carlos is responsible for making the world take electronic music seriously. Her reinterpretations of baroque and classical compositions via early synthesizers and multitrack recording were landmarks that established that serious music could be made using what many had dismissed as mere novelties. Simply put, her contributions to electronic music cannot be understated.
But before the Switched-On series, or her groundbreaking work scoring films like A Clockwork Orange and Tron, she was a recent graduate looking for a gig. She'd just earned a master's degree in composition from Columbia University and needed a job and some new components for her synth equipment. Luckily, she'd met Bob Moog years before, and managed to negotiate a trade with him: she'd provide the music he needed for a demonstration record, and in return she would be payed in Moog equipment.2
The result is the recording above. For the first three-fourths of the record, narrator Ed Stokes explains the synthesizer and its many functions to the prospective client, and Carlos adds in small musical flourishes to support his pitch, and provide aural examples for the listener. But, the real fun happens about five minutes in, when Carlos is given free reign to display the full range of sounds possible on the device, which she did by combining a series of pieces she'd composed while exploring what the synth could do. Those final two and half minutes are full of sounds ranging from thunderous rumbles, to blips and bleeps and bloops and something that sounds like a robot cat chorus. It's undoubtedly a trifle, the exact sort of novelty recording that Carlos's later recordings fought against, but it's still a lot of fun to hear. And it provides a unique glimpse into her artistic process. At the very least it serves as a synth time capsule, a relic from the earliest days of electronic music that offers a brief glimpse of what was to come.
1. Walter Carlos is, of course, now known as Wendy Carlos and is one of the world's most famous transgender women. At this point in her life, however, she was still using her birth name and living as a man. As far as I can tell she transitioned to using her current name and living as a woman about a year after this record was pressed.
2. You can read more about their relationship here.

Alister Shirazi said he got his start in the electronics business as a child, much to his mother's dismay -- by picking apart TV remotes and other household devices. The 26-year-old owner of "iExperts," who used prize money from a local competition to open his first phone repair store in Arcata, opened a second repair shop in Eureka's Bayshore Mall this month.
Shirazi said he learned how to repair phones during his time in community college in San Diego. Upon moving to Humboldt County in 2011 to finish his undergraduate degree in economics, he advertised his services on Craigslist.
"I thought I'd only get four to five requests per month, but I kept getting several every day," Shirazi said. "One client suggested I contact the Small Business Development Center, which is where I got the idea to enter the 2012 Economic Fuel Student Business Challenge. I got runner-up and a prize of $5,000."
Shirazi said he sat on the money for a few months before a store became vacant on G Street in Arcata near his home. During the last year of his undergraduate education in August 2012, Shirazi bought the space and opened the "iPhone Surgeon," now called "iExperts."
"I wanted my first store to be really beautiful, but I had to compromise," Shirazi said. "I decided I'd have to build the space up as my business grew. At first, the store was just a table and sign.
By May 2013, Shirazi had hired two employees at the Arcata location, and this month, he opened the second "iExperts" location, which has four employees and is near the food court in Bayshore Mall in Eureka.
William Cerny, manager at both locations, said the stores provide a service the local community needs.
"Our customers are pretty excited because most of them don't want to deal with large corporations that charge an absurd amount of money," he said.
Shirazi's shops have a policy that if employees can't fix a device, customers won't be charged. Employees currently fix iPhones, iPods, iPads and Samsung phones, and are looking to expand to other devices. Water damage repairs at "iExpert" stores cost between $25 and $100, and screen repairs cost between $70 and $150, depending on the model and specific problem.
Kyle McKeown -- who, like Shirazi, is also getting his master's of business administration with emphasis on strategic sustainability at Humboldt State University -- said the "iExperts" owner is determined to reach his goals.
"He's a good student," said McKeown. "He takes into account how people make decisions about how they spend their money."
Shirazi, who also signed a six-year commitment with the California National Guard in 2010 and completed officer training that will pay for the majority of his education, said that while fixing devices is fun, he's not sure what he wants to do for the rest of his life.
"My true passion is marketing, but I like seeing people get excited about our services," Shirazi said. "I enjoy making a customer's day."

|Lucas leads Stony Brook in rout of Dartmouth, 70-43

Mitchell Beauford had 15 points for the Seawolves (1-7), who had a 30-15 lead at halftime. Demetrius Young added 12 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.
Alex Barnett, with 14 points, was the only Big Green (3-4) player to reach double figures.
Barnett's jumper pulled the Ivy Leaguers to 15-10, then Young hit two baskets in a run that made it 24-10 at 7:46 of the first half.
The Seawolves outscored the Big Green 10-2 to start the second half and led 40-17 at the 16:15 mark. Lucas and Emanuel Neto each had a pair of jumpers in the run.

This offseason the Cowboys have lost three key components to its defensive unit.
They decided to part ways with the franchise's all-time sack leader DeMarcus Ware. Jason Hatcher who is coming off his first Pro-Bowl season is now with the rival Washington Redskins. Lastly, Sean Lee was once again lost for the season with a torn ACL.
In the past few seasons, the Cowboy's have elected to add depth and youth to the defense instead paying aging veterans.
In particular, the Cowboys's have looked to bolster it's defensive line which struggled to get consistent pressure last season.
They have added former Chicago Bear Henry Melton who is reunites with Rod Marinelli where he made his first Pro-Bowl. In addition, the Cowboys added low priced free agents Jermey Mincey and Terrell McClain.
Tyrone Crawford who is coming off a torn Achilles is also expected to have a major impact along the defensive line.
The Cowboys also have high expectations for DeMarcus Lawrence who they traded up for in the second round.
Although the Cowboys secondary struggled throughout the season, the coaching staff believes a stronger pass rush would take some of the pressure off their corners and safeties.
The coaching staff is also betting on Bruce Carter and Morris Claiborne living up to their high ceiling potential.
Coming off a season where the defense ranked last overall, the Cowboys hope the added depth and youth can overcome the loss of Lee, Hatcher and Ware.

Cynthia Rowley Designs "Cause" T-Shirt for the Academy of American Poets
Posted onApr 20 2004
New York, April 20, 2004--Renowned fashion designer Cynthia Rowley has designed a "cause" t-shirt to benefit the Academy of American Poets. The white t-shirt combines an image of billiard balls with a line from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks's famous poem, "We Real Cool. Seven at the Golden Shovel." All proceeds from the sale of the t-shirt benefit the Academy, a nonprofit arts organization celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.
"We are thrilled that Ms. Rowley has created this t-shirt for the Academy of American Poets," said the Academy's executive director, Tree Swenson. "The t-shirt is a great way to merge two arts: poetry and fashion. Now poetry lovers have a cool new way to wear their hearts on their sleeves."
The t-shirt features the first line of the Brooks poem printed on multi-colored billiard balls, an allusion to the pool players described in the poem. The t-shirts can be purchased for $45 each at the Academy of American Poets' online gift shop at www.poets.org and at Cynthia Rowley boutiques in New York City.
Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000) was the author of more than twenty books of poetry, including Annie Allen (1949), for which she received the Pulitzer Prize. From 1985 to 1986 she was Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. Her accolades include an American Academy of Arts and Letters award, the Frost Medal, a National Endowment for the Arts award, the Shelley Memorial Award, and fellowships from the Academy of American Poets and the Guggenheim Foundation.
In 1995 Cynthia Rowley received the New Talent Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America; the Council honored her again in 1998 with the Perry Ellis Award for New Menswear Design Talent. Cynthia Rowley boutiques are located in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, East Hampton, and Japan. Ms. Rowley is also the author, with Ilene Rosenzweig, of Swell.: A Girl's Guide to the Good Life.
The Academy of American Poets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1934 to foster appreciation for contemporary poetry and to support American poets at all stages of their careers. For more information on the Academy and its programs, visit www.poets.org.

and expressed in a high-density fermentation system, this modified operon produces extremely large quantities of this recombinant urease—over 3 grams per liter of culture, when immunization requires microgram or nanogram doses (see below).
Preclinical Results. There are several good animal models in which to test HP vaccines. H. pilus is a very similar species that infects mice and cats, and the human pathogen H. pylori can also be modified to infect mice. Ferrets are susceptible to a third species. However, the most interesting work has been done with cats, which are highly susceptible to H. pylori, naturally infected, and develop gastritis and even ulcer disease that is very similar to humans. Cat immunology is at a relatively advanced state of knowledge, which makes this model even more useful. Finally, researchers are beginning to work with primates as well.
Experience has shown that the most effective schedule for prophylactic vaccination is 4 applications 1 week apart. The animals are then tested for antibodies and challenged with either H. pilus or H. pylori after an appropriate interval—initially 2 weeks, but now up to 1 year. A total of 2 weeks or longer after challenge, the animals are sacrificed and tested in various ways: spectrophotometry (to measure urease activity in the stomach and hence the presence of bacteria), histology (a silver stain for bacteria), electromicroscopy (for antibodies), and immunocytochemistry (for antibody-secreting cells in the gastric mucosa).
Experiments with H. pilus in mice showed that mucosal immunity plays an important role in protective immunity. Experimental animals were immunized with recombinant urease by different routes: oral, oral with bicarbonate, intragastric, intragastric with bicarbonate, and subcutaneous. Following challenge, 100 percent of unimmunized controls became infected, while 100 percent of those immunized by the oral route were protected. Intragastric immunization, which bypasses potential induction sites in the oral cavity, was less protective, especially when given without bicarbonate to neutralize gastric acid. Parenteral immunization did not protect at all, although it did induce very high serum IgG antibodies.
Dose-response studies showed this is an incredibly potent immunogen, but that a mucosal adjuvant is required for immunization. When mice were given recombinant urease linked to E. coli labile toxin (LT, similar to the LT-B used as an adjuvant in streptococcus vaccines, above) by the oral or intranasal route, doses as low as 50 nanograms provided significant protection. Doses are usually in the microgram range or higher in animal experiments. Without the mucosal adjuvant, however, doses as high as 5 milligrams provided no protection: 100 percent of the animals became infected. Analysis of antibody response indicate that secretory IgA correlates best with protection: animals that were fully or partially protected had IgA in their saliva; those that became infected might have IgG in their serum but had no IgA in their saliva.

"Who wants to live forever?" —Queen
A British secret agent is cryonically (not cryogenically, as generally understood) frozen in 1967 and defrosted thirty years later in the late 90s for the purpose of battling his archenemy and saving the planet from annihilation. Does such a scenario sound familiar? If it does, it is because this plot is that of the popular film Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. While this comedy is based on outlandish and often impossible situations, one might reasonably ask the following question regarding the cryonic freezing of human beings:
In her two essays published as a single work entitled Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors in 1990, cultural critic and intellectual Susan Sontag, a cancer survivor herself, aptly presents the varied and convoluted metaphors surrounding illness. Focusing on tuberculosis, syphilis, cancer, and later AIDS, Sontag wishes to demystify these diseases. Speaking from diverse perspectives, including academic research, nonacademic observation, and personal experience, she strives to dismantle such myths which exert profoundly damaging consequences for those troubled by disease. Moreover, Sontag contends that the latter two illnesses are popularly viewed as an individual and/or even as a societal blight or punishment. In turn, she reduces illness to what it is at its most essential level—nothing more than a disease—in the case of cancer, a malignant tumor caused by the abnormal multiplication of cells, and, in the case of AIDS, the retrovirus HIV which destroys white blood cells and debilitates the immune system.
Far from his monastery in Dharamsala, India, the Tibetan monk "His Holiness" the Dalai Lama delivered a speech just last year in Washington D.C. entitled "The Neuroscience of Meditation" at the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting (1). One may naturally ask, what do the Dalai Lama and his ancient practice of meditation have to do with the current, developing field of neuroscience?
The answer: quite a lot.
However unlikely a pairing, the Dalai Lama has recently drawn attention to how meditation and spirituality positively affect the brain, in terms of both short- and long-term results. The Dalai Lama's involvement with this project all started with the work of University of Wisconsin-Madison neuroscience researcher Richard Davidson, who, since the early nineties, has contributed much to the understanding of the interrelation between meditation and brain activity, as well as the potential consequences and applications of such developments. Primarily concerned with the brain's ability to change over time, otherwise known as neuroplasticity, Davidson has broken new ground in the field of mind-body medicine through his research (2).
The Dalai Lama himself has provided Davidson with Tibetan Buddhist monks to serve as test subjects in Davidson's studies. When asked to meditate on "unconditional loving-kindness and compassion", the brain of the monk in question produced marked gamma activity, which is typically too weak to notice (1). In the following research that ensued, monks generated gamma waves up to 30 times stronger than ordinary college students (1). In the vein of Davidson's interest in neuroplasticity, it seems possible to train one's mind to think meditatively over an extended period of time. And perhaps through the strong effects of positive meditative thought, one could counter—within oneself and within one's mind—certain emotional and psychological disorders.
Furthermore, University of Pennsylvania radiology professor Andrew Newberg, author of the book Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief, has conducted similar research on the subject of meditation and the brain activity of Tibetan monks (3). Newberg's investigation consisted of the monks meditating for about an hour, then when their meditation peaked at a transcendental high, each monk was to pull a string, releasing an injection of radioactive tracer into their bloodstream. Through the injection of this tracer, Newberg and his team of researchers were able to detect how the marker moved to certain active parts of the brain. According to the subsequent findings, gleaned from scans of each monk's brain during meditation, an increase in activity was found around the frontal region of the brain, in which attention on specific tasks are processed; on the other hand, a decrease in activity was found around the area at the back of the brain, where one's processing of orientation and spatial awareness occur (4).
Regarding the results of his study, Newberg found that "During meditation, people have a loss of the sense of self and frequently experience a sense of no space and time and that was exactly what we saw." He concluded, "When someone has a mystical experience, they perceive that sense of reality to be far greater and far clearer than our everyday sense of reality. Since the sense of spiritual reality is more powerful and clear, perhaps that sense of reality is more accurate than our scientific everyday sense of reality" (3).
The very notion that, even after the brain fully develops and one reaches adulthood, the brain continues to evolve or, as the case may have it, regress (i.e. Alzheimer's disease) is a remarkable one. The average person is constantly forming new connections, associations, and links within the brain. The Tibetan monk is doing the same, just with increased efficacy and power. Moreover, the possibility that one has the fundamental ability to possess greater agency over one's own brain capacity through mediation and deep contemplation is striking.
This begs the question: what other sorts of activities or actions significantly and directly affect the brain and that which the brain produces? Now that we know meditation affects more than mere body and bodily health, could this kind of reflection also have even more to do with the brain than the scientific literature suggests? If so, will we ever be capable of knowing this and how? Davidson, Newberg, and the Dalai Lama, among others, have certainly left the door open with regard to these questions. After all, perhaps science cannot explain everything of the spiritual.
Imagine the following situation. You're standing in a crowded checkout line at the grocery store when your eye catches sight of the magazine rack. Each magazine is filled with glossy photos of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Britney Spears, and other equally attractive and famous celebrities. You pick up a copy of The National Enquirer and start casually flipping through it, only to realize that you could easily move to another checkout line which has just opened up. But for some reason, you don't move. You would rather wait in line looking through your tabloid than move to an open line and therefore leave the grocery store sooner. Why is this? Is it simply because you like to look at pretty people? Is it perhaps your predilection for gossip? Or is it something else?
Narrative is determined not by a desire to narrate but by a desire to exchange. (Roland Barthes, S/Z)

ArtPlace America, an organization that awards grants in the hope of encouraging what it calls "creative placemaking" – that is, the inclusion of arts and cultural projects in community development and renovation plans – has appointed Jamie L. Bennett to be its executive director, starting in January.
Mr. Bennett is now chief of staff and director of public affairs at the National Endowment for the Arts. He describes himself, on his Twitter page, as a "utility outfielder for the arts." Mr. Bennett succeeds Carol Coletta, the founding executive director of ArtPlace America, who left to take a position at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
ArtPlace America began in 2011 as a joint project of 13 regional and national philanthropic foundations. It has so far distributed $42 million in grants to 124 institutions in 79 communities around the country. The projects it has supported include a new arts center in Prattsville, N.Y., an art commissioning program on Governors Island, a fringe arts performance space on the Delaware River waterfront in Philadelphia and a collaboration between the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and other organizations to celebrate Memphis's musical history.
Mr. Bennett joined the National Endowment for the Arts in 2009, and has also worked at the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Columbia University and the Agnes Gund Foundation.

We've all become dependent upon those portables. Whether your poison is a smartphone or tablet, nothing is more depressing than when that portable loses power. Enter IOGEAR's GearPower High Capacity Mobile Power Station.
The newly announced charging solution can add a little juice to dying tablets, smartphones, cameras and other mobile USB and Micro-USB devices. Also known as the GMP6600P, this device can revive two portables at once, offering 6600 mAh (milliampere-hours), whether you're on a plane, on vacation, or on the back deck.
The GMP6600P needs to charge, too. Connect it to any computer's USB or to a wall outlet, using the Micro-USB power adapter. Since it only weighs 0.75 pounds, it's easy to stuff into a travel bag or backpack.
Once charged, the device can deliver on-the-go power through lithium polymer battery technology, as well as USB 2.1A and 1A power ports. The first one works with iPads, tablets and other compatible devices. The 1A is perfect for cell phones, MP3 players, and cameras.
"Communication, entertainment and work productivity are all becoming more mobile in nature," said Bill Nguyen, senior marketing manager for IOGEAR. "The new GearPower High Capacity Mobile Power Station efficiently answers one of the basic needs people have when functioning in a technology driven mobile society, how to stay charged."
IOGEAR is now selling the GearPower High Capacity Mobile Power Station. It has an MSRP of $79.95. The smaller GearPower Portable iPhone/iPod Battery Pack is also available, with the smaller MSRP of $24.95.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

I finally got a good enough deal on a trade for my Paragons to get the two things I've been wanting; an AAX Omni and the new AAX Xplosion hats. Having less cymbals also allowed me to go back to using just two cymbal stands for the entire kit and get rid of the rack.
I figured I'd give a little review of the new cymbals.
22" AAX Omni, co-designed by Jojo Mayer. This is a 3 zone cymbal with a lot of versatility. The bell is completely raw with a very dry, articulate sound. The bow is raw with extensive hammering and is a dry, articulate ride. The edge is lathed and very thin, making it essentially a huge crash cymbal. It is not a very loud cymbal, but since I have 2 Xplosions I've got volume covered elsewhere. It is a very useful cymbal with 3 very different sounding zones. I love that I can ride the bow and add some well blended crash pops right on the same cymbal! I would say this is a great cymbal for many musical styles, especially artistic playing.
14" AAX Xplosion hats. These wont be for everyone. For instance, if you like subtle, quiet hats these are not for you. These are bright and very crisp with loads if definition. Volume is well controlled when closed but quite cutting when open, which is great for hi-hat accents, which I do a lot. The bell is also very high profile and makes for a crisp ping when fully open, much like it's crash siblings.
Overall, two very well thought out and executed products from Sabian, which is no surprise to me. I actually voted for the Xplosion hats when Sabian had users voting for which test products would go into production. I'm glad they made it so I could get my hands on some.

Garrigus is tied for 119th following first round struggles at The Open
Nampa-native Robert Garrigus got off to a difficult start at The Open Championship in Scotland on Thursday.
Garrigus shot a 7-over 78 and is currently tied for 119th place.
After finishing the front nine at 3-over, it only got worse for Garrigus on the back nine. He birdied No. 12, but posted bogeys on Nos. 11, 13, 14, 17 and 18.
Garrigus will tee off at 5:12 a.m. (MT) on Friday for round two.

Beyond Limits & The Road to RioNovember 18th, 2013 by Helen Shaw Tweet
One of the highlights of our TV and video work last year was Beyond Limits with Mark Pollock, a preview of the Irish athletes participating in the Paralympic Games at London 2012. We met some fantastic characters like Darragh McDonald, Mark Rohan, Michael McKillop and Jason Smyth who came home with gold medals.
In the months following the London games we were determined to follow not just the stories of the outstanding athletes who went to London but to track the emerging new generation of new Paralympic athletes emerging post the games and inspired by the medal winners of London. Since then we've been filming with a whole new bunch of potential stars including tandem cyclist Peter Ryan, discus thrower Niamh McCarthy, swimmer Ailbhe Kelly, wheelchair tennis player Garreth Greene and a young veteran of London, long jumper and sprinter Heather Jameson. Once again the wonderful Mark Pollock is our presenter.
Beyond Limits The Next Generation - Trailer from Athena Media on Vimeo.
"People coming through see me on TV, so they look at myself as someone who has been there and done it and somebody who has the experience that they want to learn from" - Jason Smyth
In this new documentary, Beyond Limits, the Next Generation you will get to meet not just the new generation but you'll see the medal winners from London mentoring and guiding those inspired and motivated by London and the Irish achievement.
"I feel that I definitely have something to give back to people who are starting off, whether that would be in athletics or cycling or just paralympics sport in general" - Catherine Walsh
Beyond Limits, the Next Generation is currently in post-production and will air on Setanta Ireland. Expect a transmission date shortly. Made with the support of the BAI and the help of Paralympics Ireland.

Access "A full-service model for SIEM"
This article is part of the December 2013 Vol. 15 / No. 10 issue of 2013 Security 7 award winners revealed
Organizations continue to struggle with a rise in security incidents, and CISOs and their IT teams often lack the resources to meet the challenge. Like most information security programs, we are being asked -- and, in many cases, forced -- to do more with less. Enter a concept that hasn't been a focus in the industry until recently: Developing a security information and event management (SIEM) system, which addresses not only the high costs of setup and ownership, but the most important use cases. SIEM promises to improve the security incident response lifecycle by collecting and analyzing data from a myriad of sources (network and security devices, security programs and servers). SIEM technologies provide log management, event monitoring, alerting and compliance reporting through complex infrastructure involving hardware, software, custom processes and analytics. Given the push towards the cloud, there's a unique opportunity to deliver SIEM in a way that adds far greater value to users. What is the goal of a SIEM? That depends on the organization, but the ...
