What's more beneficial: Revolution or Evolution?
All of us had seen the so called Egyptian revolution on our TV channels, whom Karl Marx would, without wasting a fraction of second, recall as ideological state apparatuses trying to perpetuate the ruling class's point of view. But how many of us actually had thought over the need for revolution? Revolution, Revolution and Revolution is always talked about but the reason, the real one, is never debated. The Egyptian revolution geared by social media hypes ended up not different than a social media debate which pretty much clarifies the wrongly perpetuated need for a revolution. Turn the page, and think over evolution. Isn't evolution what we need? Is this the age of revolution or evolution? It's not 1789, it's modernly-trimmed society of 2013. do they need revolution? will they accept revolution? With media at hands, as Marx calls it, won't the ruling class turn the revolution toward its hidden goals?
Sep 27 2013: Revolution is evolution, greatly accelerated. We might think of it as a genetic mutation. When changes come to societies, they are almost always revolutionary. They may not cause a war, but they often create stress, and it is the adaptation to these stressors that is evolutionary. When, for example, in the United States, Major League Baseball finally integrated the game with Jackie Robinson in 1947, and when President Harry Truman issued the Executive Order to racially integrate the US Armed Forces the following year, some believed this was too much, too fast. Were these executive decisions, and numerous other rulings by judges, allowed to have been made by popular vote, they would likely have taken decades longer to have occurred, if ever at all. And yet within the lifetimes of many who played with Robinson or first served in an integrated US military, the populace evolved to the point of electing a black president.
Revolution has traditionally been viewed as the defenestration of an oppressor, but oppression comes in many forms. Sometimes it is the tyranny of an elite over the masses, while more often than not, it seems to be the despotism of the majority over the minority in society—a condition that leads to stagnation in a status quo paralysis, where evolution is stunted. For a society to evolve, it must be open to change, an attitude that only flourishes where there is exposure to new ideas, as is the case in pluralistic and cosmopolitan cultures. The more reclusive and withdrawn a society is, the more it will remain frozen in time. The world is full of examples of societies and groups that remain closed and refuse to evolve.

Sep 28 2013: I agree the main difference in rate.
- 0
To answer the question, you also have to define 'beneficial', and to do that, you have to pre-define the goal.
E.g. A majority group may successfully overthrow a minority group, but it turns out later the minority had it right. It's beneficial for the majority group in the short run as they achieved their goal, but in the long run, later generations may suffer.
This is where the slower rate has the advantage, you have time to observe the effects as you go along.
However, to drive an idea to be popularised over time it takes a lot of energy. Revolution may be more practical to achieve if that's a limiting factor.
So when considering the rate of making a change in society one needs to weigh up the risks and benefits of each or reach a compramise.

"Enlightenment isn't about imaging figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious". JungSep 30 2013: Point being, Craig? That America does bad things, too? So what? What does that prove? All it proves to me is that agitating for "revolution" is usually a very bad idea. It results in killing a lot of people who were just minding their own business and not hurting anyone. However, leftists, right-wingers, and all other forms of political dogmatics, of course, pretend that it's okay to commit mass murder for the sake of "the cause".
I do know that the vast majority of "revolutions" in history have been betrayed and led to oppressive governments. Of course, there are fools who try to claim that Pol Pot wasn't oppressive, that Stalin wasn't oppressive, that Franco wasn't oppressive, that Mussolini wasn't oppressive, etc. I'd rather live in the evil old USA than live under Pol Pot, Stalin, Franco, or Mussolini.
PS: For the stupid: I didn't include Hitler because he came to power through technically legal, if underhanded, means. He wasn't even able to pull off a coup, much less a revolution. He had to come to power through backroom deals followed up by massive machine politicking a-la Chicago or LaGuardia's New York.
Sep 30 2013: The collapse of communism in the former Soviet Bloc provides an interesting study of bloodless revolution, with the notable exception of Romania's Ceaușescu regime. Beginning with Poland, followed soon thereafter by Hungary, the GDR (East Germany), Bulgaria and finally, the "Velvet Revolution" of Czechoslovakia, these states all overthrew their communist governments within a few short months during 1989, ending more than 40 years of Communist Party subjugation. Unlike his predecessors, Gorbachev chose not to roll the tanks, and the Iron Curtain fell. The revolution remained bloodless because both sides held their passions in check and refrained from using force—something that is nearly impossible for people to do, particularly the party in power.

EVOLUTION which is = continuous relentless internal REVOLUTION inside our own self.
Anna Heim
Oct 13 2013: I think that evolution comes before revolution. In this era of globalisation facilitated in great part by the internet it is easier for us "the people" irrespective of national borders, culture or creed to communicate, share ideas, philosophy, knowledge, aspiration etc., in a way which was not possible even 30-years ago. What we saw and continue to see in what has been labelled by the press as "The Arab Spring" I don't think would have been possible if the people of Egypt hadn't been communicating with the outside world facilitated by the internet. While I accept that I might be utterly misguided and overly simplistic in my assumptions - I think the internet is a huge democratizing force for good which many of our world's governments are terrified of, hence the spying by various government agencies in the name of national security. We the people are evolving as we recognise that under our skins we are all the same - we all need, food, water, shelter, love, the opportunity to be educated, so that we can grow in spirit and in mind and add to the well-being of our communities, we need the freedom to exercise the freedom of expression - deny the people these fundamental rights - and evolution becomes the blood revolution.

Oct 9 2013: OK, Colleen. And if we could dream with encouraging people to unite the powers (large or small ones) of everyone, and do it sincerely and deeply, united into a wave of positive evolution, -with the same ease that sometimes people encourages to revolution, I think the world would be much morebetter.

Is this utopia? I do not know, only a dream, perhaps.
Oct 9 2013: OK Sean. I am with you and your dream, and based on comments I read here on TED, there are lots of people to support our dream:>)
We will start an evolution/revolution/devolution with other encouraged, sincere, united people....everything starts with a dream my friend.
Oct 10 2013: Great, Colleen! .... : Devolution, yes, that lacked! You have expressed the concept perfectly and completely.
Oct 10 2013: Dear Sean,
I must give credit where credit is due! "Devolution" was introduced by Keith Henline in another comment in this conversation:>)
Syed Hashmi
Oct 6 2013: Every revolution has counter revolution but evolution has more evolution
- +2
It means evolution is beneficialOct 3 2013: Revolution is a symptom of social evolution. Society will go through evolutionary changes over time. You normally don't have a revolution without some sort of internal change or social evolution.
Evolution is obviously more valuable. The goal of revolution is change. If you can avoid a revolution and simply evolve you avoid the negative aspects of a large-scale revolution.
Oct 9 2013: I agree Henry, that revolution may be part of the process of human evolution, and my preference is peaceful revolution/evolution:>)Sep 24 2013: I would say it is more of a pendulumn swing that is either getting more or less arc. There will always be those that are in power, no matter what is said or done. Those in power, will allways take care of their own first, even if they are seen to give care or thought to those less fortunate. I do not see us evolving by much, but then that is not necessary is it. Evolution takes time, a great deal of it, that is what is generally allows the neysayers that it isn't correct, and allows them to put forth intelligent design. Evolution of thought is definately more important, without it we are doomed to repeat mistakes with different players.
Sep 26 2013: Evolution takes time, no doubt, and so do revolutions. The 'neysayers' are irrelevant as they will predict revolution and evolution against them as incorrect, deviant and probably stupid.Sep 23 2013: Whether it is revolution or evolution if the people do not change then either is a waste of time. The reason revolution is more successful is it is easier to kill the people who do not agree with you than it is to change there mind.
That seems a bit callused but it is a fact. It should not be that way, I wish it were not that way however the reality is harsh. According to most religions God does not believe in evolution God believes in revolution, kill them all and start over. I would like to see education win just once in my life before I die, fat chance in that happening. We never learn, we are the dumbest, meanest, cruelest animal on the planet and the sooner we kill ourselves off, the faster the planet will return to the garden of Eden it was before we got here.
Sep 25 2013: Keith,
What ya smokin dude??? Which 'god' told you she believes in revolution.... Me thinks your barkin up the wrong god and the wrong tree....
Remember, self fulfilling prophecy??? Pay attention ...
Sep 25 2013: Well Craig I have been to Oregon, beautiful state, right next to Washington where I was born, about 75% claim to be Christian here in the USA and as I recall the Christian God wiped out entire empires and in the case of Noah he wiped out every species on earth and started over again. Or did they change that part in the bible, again. Revelations is full of massive death and destruction but that's what Christians have to look forward to..
Most religions core belief is we are right and everybody else is going to Hell. You can call it revolution, you can call it evolution or you can call it by any name you want but until we wake up and take responsibility for our own actions, nothings going to change. I haven't smoked in 33 years but maybe I should start again. What do you think?

Jimmy Strobl
Oct 15 2013: I think you're asking revolution or reform... Things rarely improve after a revolution, they do after a reform...Oct 14 2013: it's quite simple ..to make a revolution we need at first evolution and this one involves all aspects of life essentially mentality.We should have such level of maturity and civilazation to do a revolution. As a Tunisian I lived all these stages from maturity to revolution.Before maturity the majority of tunisian people were satisfied because they thought that all development happening in the country had been thanks to the president Ben Ali,so he took advantage of this confidence granted by the people and he began with his wife's family to steal the wealth of the country.Consequently,the economic situation was badly affected by this and gradually people changed their mind. Thanks to media and social networks, tunisians knew what happened exactely in the country.When the corruption, the injustice and the poverty invade all the country and the unemployment rate achieved a high level,all tunisians said the famous french word '' Dégage'' to the regime ,many people were killed in the revolution but finally the previous president Ben Ali left the country with his family and finish 23 years of dictatorship.Now after elections, we speak about another king of maturity's lack because many people want asks the government to find solutions for the damage of 23 years of dictatorship and improve living conditions as soon as possible when we should normally have patience and work in order to change the situation of the country.Oct 13 2013: From a completely different angle altogether, the kind of revolution that we want is that which completely challenge the status quo and come up with new things to change our world. I understand the topic is about "a fighting revolution that forces things to happen," but the one I am referring to here is that which by virtue those in power would see it as a necessity because it makes sense and it is necessary for the country to move on. For instance, if I come up with a system of helping the country to be efficient in serving its citizens and those in power see it as necessary, that is revolution at its purest form, without any brutal force or intimidation but only stating the facts and the necessity for such system or any other activity that would convince people without forcing them to resort to violence.
- +1
To me this is the revolution we should be striving for in this age, not by force but by our creativity in meeting and combating what causes violence.Oct 12 2013: My subjective opinion is that we need REVOLUTION, and revolution is pure energy of negative electricity in society, that expresses in extremly ways. And it has to be extreme. Why? Because it is the only way that can make revolution visible, and also the way that revolution can be taken serious. If you try to get your legitimate rights on piecefully way, the top layers wouldn't take you serious.
One example: few mounts ago, a pretty big agricultural community from one part of mine country wasn't satisfied by rights and prices of their products, and they did wrote to president. President doesn't give to much affection on that question, so they did go out on roads and blocked them, so their legitimate rights were immediately solved. :) And as Dirkem said "revolution is state of mind of folks, it's not about how many people are trying something. It's about change inside your awareness, and awareness of whole nation. That awareness makes revolution.
Oct 13 2013: But what about the view that Marx held: Bourgeoisie keeps on revolutionizing ideological state apparatuses in order to perpetuate the view that they are pro-people, pro-change though deep inside they are the one against whom the change/revolution was initially geared against.
Almost the similar thing happened in my country where people rebelled and their demands were accepted, making them feel that the government, state is working for them and is pro-people but shortly they realized that the thing they thought were pro-people was actually a gimmick that at that time saved the class against whom revolution was called.
Ijlal Amir
Oct 10 2013: I Believe that as something Evolves, Revolution comes trailing behindOct 9 2013: I think that, perhaps, the question itself is based on a bit of a misattribution and a small oversight. First, Marx never wrote on the ideological state apparatus, that concept came around a century later with Althusser. Here, however, we run into another little problem. While Althusser likely would have been fine with adding media to the top of a list of apparatuses, for him it was never primary (the church was primary, but with the decentralization of religion education became primary). Excepting that, the understanding of the concept expressed in the question is fine. But now to an actual answer. I think that, if we are looking at Marx and purely political evolution, the two terms are essentially synonymous. Just a very basic review of historical materialism and ideology ought to clear that up a bit. For Marx, the history of humanity is that of movement toward freedom, as expressed through various organizations of labor and power. Ideology is (at a simple level, I haven't the space to fully explain it here) the ideas perpetuated by power as a means of control, generally through some process in which the ideas that serve power come to be believed by the masses as in their own interest; it is the ideas which fight against the movement of history. So then, what would political evolution be? If we are to assume that politics are merely contests over power and resources carried out under a predetermined set of rules, it seems that evolution would suggest a redistribution of both (which is perfectly in line with historical materialism). However, this is inherently against the interests of power and the required change is resisted by ideology. Generally, ideology wins out between the two (this is why we see so few revolutions that do not express that values and desires of some ruling class somewhere; contemporary liberal revolutions are generally a great example of this). For true political evolution to occur revolution is necessary and the later is the more beneficial.Oct 9 2013: With the vast majority of the world's population desperately wanting a better world, why can't those who govern us deliver? Are we, the masses, stopping them?

Oct 9 2013: I think, in a way, we are sometimes hindering the process Joshua. I hear a LOT of people complaining about our leaders, and yet, some of those leaders keep being re-elected. When it is clear that our leaders are not working for the best interests of the people....why are they re-elected? That boggles my mind!
Oct 9 2013: It shouldn't Colleen we all adapt to our environment, that is what they do. If you put a sane man in an insane asylum it a very safe bet they will eventually start acting crazy also. Another example is our prison system, the guards over time become just as violent as the inmates. When you are up to ass in alligators it is easy to forget you came in to drain the swamp. The exceptions are rare. Our environment can wear us down and then we do things we otherwise would never in our wildest dreams even considered. Overpopulation seems to bring this on in all animals including us. We need our space to remain sane, otherwise we start bouncing off the walls..
Oct 9 2013: Logically, I understand what happens Keith, and I agree that many times people who run for office may have good intent in the beginning, and then they get wrapped up in the system.
When we see that, as thinking, feeling, intelligent adults, we have the opportunity and choice to NOT re-elect them again.Oct 9 2013: "It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes"- Joseph Stalin
Believe me, Joseph Stalin in spirit is alive and well in America.
Oct 9 2013: Nice quote. I don't like to be cynical, even about politics - but it's hard not to be.Oct 9 2013: The trouble is Colleen, whoever we vote for, the government always gets in. And they, even with the best of intentions, find themselves largely run by "The System" which is a force in itself with its own momentum, going in a certain direction. Maybe politicians would like to change this direction, but somehow "The System's" own momentum steamer-rollers on regardless.
This "System" (as I think I said before in another conversation) has its own agenda of centralising power and control.
What then, you might ask, is the role of governments and governance if they are somewhat hapless puppets in The System going in XYZ direction, regardless.
The answer, I think, is that it requires leaders who are very mature spiritually and psychologically to challenge and reshape The System. Such people are few and far between.
Meanwhile bottom-up, or middle-outwards initiatives from TED type people seem perhaps the best option to bring about positive change.
Oct 9 2013: About a hundred years ago there was a fellow named John D. Rockefeller who when asked who he supported in an election said: "I give $1,000,000 to the Democrats" and then he was asked what if the Democrats lose? to which he replied "I also give $1,000,000 to the Republicans". You see for the cheap price of $2,000,000 John D. Rockefeller bought America and today it is no different with the exception that anyone from any country can purchase America for a relatively cheap price. What was the price to purchase the Supreme Court? It is very obvious someone owns it now, who? Not "you".Oct 9 2013: Joshua and Keith,
I'm not very good with regurgitating the challenges of the past. I like to be mindfully aware of what happened in the past, because it gives us information on which to build a future....as we evolve.
I agree Joshua, that TED offers a HUGE opportunity to connect on a global level and move toward positive change:>)Oct 9 2013: Hello Talha:>)
It appears that revolution may be part of the process of evolution for humans. You mention the example of Egypt.
We were told in the US that Egypt was a democracy, and we supported the government for many years with billions of dollars in aid. This is what our government wanted us to believe, and this was the information released to the press.
When I spent time in Egypt, talking with people about their government, I was told about the corruption in their government, and was very surprised. When the revolution began, I was not surprised that the level of discontent had reached a stage where that action probably needed to happen for change to take place.
I much prefer to see peaceful revolution/evolution in our world, and I'm wondering if we will ever evolve enough to be able to achieve that state of "being".
Welcome to TED conversations Talha :>)
Oct 12 2013: who support the corrupt governemnt, isn't the same governement who pays billions & billions for aid... who controle the same media-who told you what you have mention-to make fool of you & all her citizens .Sir .i know that you know, Poor countries hold 40 per cent of the world's population, but receive only 3 per cent of the world's income from trade. Rich countries makeup 14 per cent of world population and yet get 75 per cent of the profit from trade..where is the Aid you talk about??????is it fair if we said that the US governemnt pays only 0.5555 of what she steals from poor countries???is it right if we said that your governement sells weapon to thos people???they take far more than they give.
lets talk about syria & obama allegation, do you beleive that America well do what needs to stop what happens there-like what happen in Iraq????
Oct 13 2013: Zakraoui,
I do not believe anyone is a "fool" if they/we are not accurately informed. I believe it is common for governments to tell the people what they want them to hear. Governments need to be more transparent.
The aid I talk about is the U.S. assistance to Egypt, which averaged about $2 billion a year since 1979.
No, I do not agree with the U.S. taking the same action in Syria as in Iraq. I would like to see the Middle East alliance (the neighbors of Syria) responding to what is happening. I would like to see the UN responding....that is why the UN was formed, and they appear to be useless.
Comment deletedOct 9 2013: You stuck in a comfort zone. You need to grow. Change is brought about by leaders not followers. It's easy to rant and over the being a virtual revolutionary... But hey, who planned to improve possibilities of communication??? Even with the Internet you can be considered a voice in the wilderness, the sound of one hand clapping... Who planned to improve language or slang it to make it ambiguous???
You can be like flowing water bringing new life, forging a path gradually, slow over time, or a raging force causing destruction and immediate change, or stagnant, nothing but a breeding ground infesting pollution to those around you.Oct 7 2013: Talha! Revolution (from the Latin revolutio, "a turn around") is a planned and deliberate action taken to change the order of existing things or rules. Revolution happens against something. It is Rebellion. But, on the contrary, Evolution is the natural development of something and is a slow but steady process. It is mild by nature. Computer technology has gone through several evolutions.
Both have their own merits and demerits. If your house is on fire, you wont even think about evolution Talha, or will you ? When An instant 'Turn Around' is required to stop the fire or to run away.
When there is a thorn in the foot, second thorn is needed to get rid of the first thorn ! - This is Revolution (Instant)
Once thorn is not there, now Dressing can be think of to get rid of the pain ! - This is Evolution (Slow)
So, its obvious, as in case of Egypt, revolution was needed to stop the president to get ultimate powers... :)
Oct 8 2013: Ah, I see, so you're not going to tell all the professional biologists in the world that punctuated equilibrium must be false and they must abandon it, since punctuated equilibrium doesn't fit your definition of "evolution".
Oct 9 2013: Hi Bryan :) you have came with very good objectionable example.
The question asked by Talha was in the prospectus of Human experiences and i think my answer fits well within this. But your example belongs to something that is beyond human experiences. Let me explain this too...
Yes, Punctuated Equilibrium do not believe in gradual progress and believe in sudden split of species, which is the opposite theory of gradual progression of species (Darwin's evolution theory). Bryan, this kind of conflicts occurs when we mistakenly compares one thing with two different aspects-
1- One aspect, as the thing is known to us (Within our Human experience).
2- Second aspect, as they really are by nature in subtle form (Out of Human experience).
Nature does not behave as it seems to us. Its behavior is totally opposite at subtle level. These Revolution and Evolution concepts are man made definitions and has nothing to do with 'how nature works'.
You know at Quantum level, a photon do not only behave like a particle but also like a wave. Mystery is still unsolved . Human Experiences is full of dualism in every aspects. We behave, live our life and think in duality. We make theories and concepts with our perception and past experiences. But this is not the way to solve the mystery of Nature. Nature is not bound to follow our theories, this or that.
Thus, since Evolution and Revolution is the matter of Human Experience. My answer is right in that aspect. :)
Oct 9 2013: First, punctuated equilibrium does not believe anything at all, because punctuated equilibrium is a concept, not a person. Second, Darwin's theory is not the end-all and be-all of evolutionary theory. It is no more and no less "in" or "out" of "human experience" than is punctuated equilibrium. Insisting that evolution must be gradual and excluding punctuated equilibrium is nothing but arbitrary and based on entirely irrational criteria. If it is evolution, then it uses all mechanisms of evolution. If it is gradualism, then SAY "GRADUALISM" and stop mis-using the term "evolution".Oct 3 2013: Evolution is the same thing as revolution...or is it?
Personally, I don't believe that Egypt is a good example of revolution. Although, yes, it was a revolution, it doesn't accurately portray how most revolutions go. With this being said, I would like to make clear that in turn of the "peaceful" revolution, it was really an evolution. Revolutions are much more violent.
So evolution would be peaceful, while revolution is pretty violent in order to get what they want to achieve
With this in mind, we obviously want evolution over revolution; achieving the same goal with minimum difficulties.
Oct 10 2013: How was it not, as "most revolutions" go? Can you clarify for me?
Oct 11 2013: As in the fact that most revolutions take many steps to actually succeed in what they are trying to achieve, most of which are violent.
For example, French Revolution and American Revolution. Oh, and the Russian Revolution. Although I can't pull of anymore examples of the top of my head, I believe that these three revolutions set the standard on how most revolutions go.
Oct 14 2013: These three set the emotional and mythological constructs for revolutions. Many cultures view these as "successful" revolutions. The problem is that revolutions in the last 60 years have not gone that way at all. There are entire books to be written about why and how, but it nonetheless remains the truth. Instead of those three being how we judge revolution, we need to reconsider them as anomalies that no longer represent how revolutions - in the modern era - actually go.

Oct 10 2013: Jorge, thank you for making my point about the Venezuelan revolution. Many here think it was and economic revolution as well, they do not see the costs. What I will give Venezuela was that it was a sharp and sudden turn and it did make thing better for many of the people. So, knowing it will never be exactly what you want it to be and will always be dynamic and needing more adjusting, does that mean it was successful or not?
What would your economic evolution look like? I would love for us to see money completely differently than we currently do. But, I am not holding my breath.Sep 26 2013: I will put my thoughts a different way, You have to have evolution of thought in order to have revolution. Revolution may be more furious, and happen faster, but without the change that evolution of thought brings, there can be no revolution.Sep 25 2013: Revolution is just fast evolution--or is evolution merely slow revolution?
Sep 26 2013: I agree with the second part of your question.
Bruno Neves
Sep 24 2013: The world is scared of revolution. Look for Rob Steward's story behind the making of Revolution... just the mention of the word and millions were dropped from his budget. But come to think of it, it makes perfect sense. Think of all the revolutions in the past, both successful and not. Regardless of the reasons, there was always a turbulent time following a revolution. It is too sudden, too brusque, and so often people do not know how to deal with the aftermath of victory.
- +1
The most unfortunate aspect is of course the glorification of the events on the media. It is an industry that has grown to its current state through sensationalism, and when this happens a large group of bystanders not only twist and pervert the revolution's goals and morals, but to pollute it with their own misunderstanding and un-motivation, fuelled by the popularity rather than the intentions. They may aid in the volume, but only increase the confusion post-revolution. I haven't followed Egypt recently, but from what you say it doesn't seem like it turned out too well! Syria isn't following in the right footsteps either because of external motivations. People need time to evolve their social system...
Sep 29 2013: The world is scared of unpredicted change, doesn't matter how fast or slow.

Sep 23 2013: I find it interesting you used the date of 1789 which is the year that the Constitution was ratified. I would argue that going from the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution was evolutionary and not revolutionary.
- +1
I think if the institutions are entrenched, then revolution is necessary. I would also argue that the Egyptian revolution was not like the American but more like the French Revolution where the structure and the planning was lacking. It was a revolution by a mob with little planning for the future.
Sep 27 2013: The year 1789 is when the French Revolution began, which is what I believe Mr. Naeem was referring to.
Sep 27 2013: thanks - for the clarification
Nadav Tropp
Sep 23 2013: Evolution in what sense, the biological kind? Because its pretty much stagnated since the dawn of civilization, and won't get going again in any real pace until new biotech makes it happen (though it'll probably be the single most controversial thing in living memory and turn quite violent along the way).
- +1
Let me also remind you that violent revolution rarely works out for the better. While there have been exceptions, you typically end up with a new tyrant instead of the old, alongside an additional hit taken to stability which worsens your situation overall.
The existing ruling class usually doesn't even have to subvert things. A new ruling class of very similar stripes will come out of the woodwork if something happened to the old one.

Oct 22 2013: the point of revolution is evolution...these countries could move nowhere but to worse ... freedom, truth , innovation are needed to evolute ... those values are missing today in most of the communities in the world.
- 0
for the devastations and the disapointement of the media etc ....it s a natural consequence ... people just need to focus more on how to make the revolution achieve its goal .and not to let those years of suffer and the souls of the innocent people go in vainOct 22 2013: Revolutions are a must !! Do not wait for any physical benefits. The real benefits are mentally. Ex. Egypt. they did a great revolution more than anyone can describe, but when you ask "then what" ? people died and thousands got wounded, these are negative things. The real benefit is that the protester that began the revolution are actually still living and dreaming, they did not loss hope for tomorrow, a better future for the next generation. a dream that is still and will always be there A BETTER FUTURE. It doesn't matter if i am really able to achieve it, all that matter is as long as i am breathing i will be dreaming for a better tomorrow. The Egyptian revolution on papers yes i didn't achieve anything of what these protesters strived for but they stated an important message which is " we have hope for a better tomorrow and we will fight for it everyday".Oct 20 2013: Neither evolution is beneficial , Not revolution is beneficial. But ,both are needed for the progress and development of civilization or anything.
Evolution is subtle,spontanaeous and invisible.Revolution is accelerated reactive evolution.It is more visible,tangible and fast.Evolution is a long and infinite journey without any end.Revolution is a specific and finite travel which has its end.The amazing thing is that the evolution contains both the evolution itself and the revolution.

The modern day civilization has evolved from the primitive civilization which is the result of the evolution as well as the revolution.
The modern day ipod or mp3 player has evolved from the primitive phonograph invented by Edison which is the result of the evolution as well as the revolution.Oct 20 2013: I'm unaware of evolutionary events that happened without a revolutionary event pushing it. Really... anybody can tell one evolutionary event that happened without any contextual revolution?Oct 19 2013: Revolution brings up new thing,changes the socila environment
So here we can say REVOLUTION can bring EVOLUTION
Both are important
To bring changes in society
Where one brings sudden change is called Revolution
which indicates a collective IDEA ............Oct 16 2013: The idea of "evolution" only referencing the biological process as suggested below is far too narrow in its application. When the Church doctrine of the day was challenged by Copernicus it may well have started a "revolution" in the religious community but the concept he offered to the world was an evolutionary perspective on how to perceive the state of the universe.
The writings of Paulo Friere have often been referenced in the Ted conversations and one of Friere's most often cited ideas was that revolution was a surrender to the practices and thinking of the oppressors because revolution invariably uses violence and conflict - the tools of the oppressors - to wrest power and authority from the oppressors and thereby shows itself to be no better than what it replaced.
But Ghandi employed evolved thought in his non-violent opposition to tyranny and oppression and succeeded in defeating the most powerful empire of the day, heralding a whole new way of thinking regarding how to bring about real change in governance. Something revolt had not been able to do for ages.
Personally, I know that my own thinking has evolved tremendously from the narrow minded prejudices and opinions I was presented with by my parents and grandparents generations and that my relationships with those people would have been a lot healthier if I had been able to espouse those new found thoughts in a coherent and rational manner instead of simply rebelling against their ways of thinking. Unfortunately it took many years before I found the words and means of expressing that evolving thought and thereby getting past the conflicts my rebelliousness caused.
So, yes I am squarely on the side of evolution, especially of thought, and will leave revolution to those things that go around in circles.

Both are progresses, but:
(1) Evolution ---- at DNA level.
(2) Revolution ---- at a level without changing the DNA yet.
Gord G
Oct 14 2013: It appears you're using evolution as a metaphor. Actual evolution is rooted in geobiological systems. It evolves naturally. Revolution is a socio-political issue. It's sparked by perceived inequalities in social constructs. It's a rationalization.
- 0
It seems to me, it's not a question of evolving, it's a question of whether the people in opposition use the instruments of the old regime to affect change, or whether they impose an entirely new socio-politcal framework. I think they're both revolutionary. The former simply requires more time and involves less bloodshed. The latter lacks subtlety, but is very effective in breaking down entrenched oligarchies.
What's more beneficial? Whichever path finds an equilibrium with the least amount of suffering.Oct 13 2013: revolution is useless unless there is a real plan to replace the current system. usually, there is not, or else the replacement system is as bad as the original.
we need renaissance not revolution - i think of renaissance as changing minds, perceptions and attitudes.
i think of revolution as destructive and often violent and not really changing anything except the person who sits on the throne.
To quote John Lennon: "If you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out...in"Oct 13 2013: "The base is pure but the cement of edifice is artificial"- this sentence impressed me.
Society needs the changes, deep roots inside it has to be dug, to make everything clear, and than there would not be chance to "convert" revolution.
In that way, I do agree with you, that revolution is on evolution faze.Oct 13 2013: That view about bourgeoisie,is little tricky. Top layers has information monopoly,and information is something that make them always one step forward. So they are making artificial "revolutions", and placement of wrong information, just to keep folks stay peacefully, so they can control them.
Is that real revolution? Every era has had some of the rulers who have used some dirty tricks, just to stay longer on top.
Nowdays, we know about spying of society networks,and we know every step we take is predictable (because information are 'available') and it is hard to realize REAL revolution.
So, there is difference between their and ours revolution.
Our revolution needs more time, worn tolerance, repressed anger....but that energy couldn't be stopped by bombs,police, drubbing...nothing :)
Talha Naeem
Oct 13 2013: I am not saying they are making 'artificial revolution', actually they are converting the uproar of real revolution into an artificial one. The base is pure but the cement of edifice is artificial.
- +1
Before asking 'is that revolution', we would need to define which revolution are we talking about? Marxists revolution?
So, the revolution is on evolutionary stages. right?Oct 12 2013: the fact that you would include idi amin who has been "deposed " since '78/79, proves your thinking is outdated...
why not include Nelson Mandela... 'won't the ruling class turn the revolution toward its hidden goals?"
My forth example for arguments sake would be Robert Mugabe...
keep in mind that these leaders and the countries had sanctions imposed upon them...
if you have examples of better leaders, where revolt has truly befitted the PEOPLE of the country, not the COUNTRY ALONE... you should be bold enough to cite them

Oct 9 2013: true change is a bottom up process
- 0
Oct 9 2013: Meaning?
Keith W
Oct 9 2013: which means revolution doesn't work only evolution does.. however there isnt only one ways to evolve.. evolution is successful when you acquire whatever traits it is that ensures the fitness of the species. different people in different places will adapt and must adapt within the parameters of their environment.
- +1
Oct 9 2013: I agree Keith W, that we evolve when we acquire traits that ensure the fitness of the species, and different people in different places adapt within the parameters of their environment.
As we evolve, and learn more about what might be possible, I think it stimulates "a fundamental change in political organization and activity or movement designed to affect fundamental changes in the socioeconomic situation".....which is part of the definition of revolution. I think evolution and revolution are very connected.
Keith W
Oct 9 2013: it depends on how you define "revolution" overthrowing a regime without a contingency plan is futile. And whatever system you want to replace it with must be a system that the general public has faith in so yeah the two are connected if that model is reliable except i dont think it is.. overthrowing a power structure and replacing it has never actually worked historically.. at least hasnt worked efficiently.. nations that have successful transformed have done so very gradually
- 0
Oct 9 2013: I agree Keith W......it depends on how we define anything, and gradual, well thought out change seems desirable:>)Oct 9 2013: anyone seen Bryan Maloney?Oct 9 2013: I think devolution is a more accurate description.
Oct 9 2013: I looked up devolution to be sure of the meaning! Looks like it could be part of the process...
Let's have an evolution/revolution/devolution:>)
Oct 9 2013: It has several meanings- "descent or degeneration to a lower or worse state" is an Oxford version I was referring to.
Oct 9 2013: Yes, I understand the meaning Keith:>)
Sometimes, things have to be pulled apart, we have to stir the pot, before they can be put back together again in a more beneficial way. For example, in the last few years, we have uncovered corruption in business, politics, and religion.
Some folks may think.....what is this world coming to....it's getting worse all the time!!! I see the uncovering of the corruption as part of our revolution/evolution, because much of the corruption we are uncovering has been going on for hundreds of years. So, things may look worse, before they look better:>)Oct 9 2013: Great question! In my opinion, a revolution could involve violence and casualties. It also involves the damage of private and public property. On the other hand, evolution involves a gradual development based on peace and common agreement to reach something. A revolution breaks out any moment and the people behind it, need reforms quickly. I prefer evolution.Oct 9 2013: What is born after a revolution? What does an evolution bring? Earthquakes and tsunamis are changes, just like rain and change in wind direction. Day changes into night and then night into day.
Neither revolution or evolution is desirable if it does not lead to a benefitial change.
Progress is what we need; we can not long for days when witches are burnt in public just because the 21st-century-life is becoming too boring and certain slogans, jargons or ideas sound nice.
Progress is change for the better.Oct 8 2013: Bryan, I'm sure you never do typo's..... your far to perfect for that...
And this conversation is over... your not worth the time nor the effort.
Oct 9 2013: You chose to intentionally indulge in a that particular childish insult more than once in one message and then make a play on words with it. That is not a typo. Now you lie about having done it.Oct 7 2013: Evolution is a progress... going forward changing adapting to becoming better
Revolution is going in circles perpetuating the same thing over and over...
aluta continua: the struggles continues to go on and on and on.....and on and on and on
Egypt was nothing less than a puppet for the USA... Revolution comes about because of irreconcilable differences
There are/were very few evolutionaries in history... fidel castro, hugo chavez, mohamar ghadaffi...
Evolutionaries think like parents: protecting, caring and thinking of what is best for their children
Not revolting to enrich their pockekts, but to protect the people
Oct 8 2013: Evolutionaries like Castro, Chavez, or Gaddafi? Not revolting to enrich their pockets, but to protect their people?
In each case, peoples of their countries, had no personal freedoms, were impoverished, depended on the whims of their protectorate. And each amassed personal fortunes and lived at a level that would be envied by Bill Gates. There are published guestimate of >100 Billion for the Ghadaffi family.
Oct 9 2013: so you assume the rest of the world leaders are either broke or they share the wealth equally amongst the people
Oct 9 2013: You only listed four...four of the worse.Oct 10 2013: four of the worst what???
Oct 10 2013: I am sorry, I wasn't clear... the four most oppressive dictators who stole all the wealth from their respective countries. You didn't list Idi Amin another great evolutionary in your rational.Oct 12 2013: the fact that you would include idi amin who has been "deposed " since '78/79, proves your thinking is outdated...
why not include Nelson Mandela... 'won't the ruling class turn the revolution toward its hidden goals?"
My forth example for arguments sake would be Robert Mugabe...
keep in mind that these leaders and the countries had sanctions imposed upon them...
if you have examples of better leaders, where revolt has truly befitted the PEOPLE of the country, not the COUNTRY ALONE... you should be bold enough to cite them
Oct 12 2013: You have no public profile so I don't know where you are coming from. So... I have seen "evolutionaries" for a long time. You cited some of the most despicable despots of the past century as laudable leaders who did great things for their countries. And what about Mandela...he got religion in his old age and is now revered. It could have gone the other way.
You asked me for the best "leaders" of today.... Better question, which 'leader" has done the least damage to their constituents.. .Oct 12 2013: and yet you have not named a leader???
people like yourself revere leaders who bow down to the IMPERIALISM at the cost of the PEOPLE.
leaders who SELL the COUNTRY to be accepted by people like yourself.
you are the type of person who would incite violence and revolt in a country but not fight the war...
you would probably be disgruntled that revolt was not swift and peaceful and stand on the sideline criticize the people rebuilding the country than get your hands dirty to assist...
yet, you would admire Bill Gates who "DONATES" redundant computers to "poor suffering nations"
for you to be looking for a public profile instead of debating a point proves you argumentative without a point...

The Elk County Catholic Crusader baseball team opened their season on Monday by hosting the Brockway Rovers at Berwind Park. The Rovers were able to take advantage of seven Elk Catholic errors on their way to a 7-4 victory over the Crusaders.
"After two weeks inside you have to be ready to play and we weren't," said ECCHS coach Father Eric Vogt.
"They took advantage of our mistakes and that's what good teams do. Their pitcher kept us off balance. Thank goodness it's a long season," said Father Eric.
"Hopefully we'll be ready to play Wednesday," said the coach about Elk Catholic's rescheduled game against DuBois Central on Wednesday at Berwind Park.
The Crusaders had six hits in the contest. Ben Daghir and Brock McCullough both doubled while Ricky Pearsall had two singles. Luke Daghir and Joe McLaughlin each had single.
Joe Childs started on the mound for the Crusaders and worked 2 2/3 innings giving up five hits, walking three and striking out four. Pat Brennen worked 3 1/3 innings of relief giving up two hits, walking two and striking out three. Jack Herzing worked one inning of relief striking out one.
Houston Fairman started on the mound for Brockway and worked six innings giving up six hits, walking three and striking out six. Nick Anderson worked one inning of relief.
Brockway opened the game with three runs in the top half of the first inning on three hits and an error. The Crusaders went down in order in their half of the inning.
The Rovers left two men stranded in the top of the second inning while the Crusaders went down in order. The top of the third found Brockway scoring three more times on one hit and four errors to take a 6-0 lead. They left the bases loaded. Elk Catholic went down in order in the home half of the inning.
Brockway left a man on base in the top of the fourth inning. In the home half of the inning Pearsall led off with an infield single. Brock McCullough doubled to left. A single by Luke Daghir scored both Pearsall and McCullough. Ben Daghir followed with a double. Luke Daghir scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Jack Herzing. Ben Daghir scored on a sacrifice by Joe McLaughlin cutting the Brockway lead to 6-4.
The top of the fifth found Brockway scoring another run on two hits and an error. The Crusaders left the bases loaded in their half of the inning.
The Rovers went in order in the sixth with Elk Catholic leaving a runner stranded. The seventh inning found Brockway leaving a runner on base in the top of the inning. In the home half of the inning the Crusaders went down in order as the Rovers recorded the 7-4 victory.
Elk Catholic, now 0-1 on the season, will play host to the DuBois Central Cardinals in a game scheduled for 4:15 p.m. at Berwind Park.

Recap | BoxscoreBaseball Bucs defeat Lipscomb 6-2 in rain shortened game
Sunday, April 10, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 9, 2011) - A four run sixth inning lifted the ETSU baseball team to a 6-2 win over Lipscomb in a rain shortened game two Saturday afternoon at Cardinal Park.
Sophomore Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) improved to 2-2 on the year as the right-hander posted yet another quality start limiting the Bisons (11-20, 3-8 A-Sun) to two runs on six hits in his first complete game of the season.
Centerfielder Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) and second baseman Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) led the way offensively for the Buccaneers (19-9, 10-5 A-Sun) as Scruggs was 3-for-4 on the day only needing a home run to complete the cycle, while Niesman was 2-for-2 with two RBI and scored two runs.
Lipscomb's Gil Rehwinkel was tabbed with the loss after surrendering two runs (one earned) in 0.2 innings.
Lee Wilson gave the Bisons a 2-0 lead in the top of the second as he sent a two-run homer over the right field fence.
The Bucs cut the Lipscomb advantage to 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth. Junior Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) drew a walk to load the bases with one out. In the next at-bat, John Long (Anderson, S.C.) brought home catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) on a sac fly to center.
In the bottom of the fifth, Niesman led off the inning with a single up the middle. Niesman then moved to third on a double by Scruggs, and came in to score on a bases loaded walk to Trent to even the score at 2-all.
ETSU grabbed its first lead of the contest in the bottom of the sixth as the Bucs scored four runs on four hits and two Bisons errors to take a 6-2 edge. Niesman singled in both Pratt and Long to make the score 4-2. Scruggs then tripled to right center scoring Niesman from second. Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) capped off the scoring for the Bucs as he singled in Scruggs.
Bushey got the Bisons to go quietly in the seventh, and in the bottom half of the fame the game would go into a four-hour delay before being called as storms rolled through the Tri-cities.
The Bucs will look for the sweep tomorrow as the two team close out the series at 1:05 p.m. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Connecticut residents are lucky to have a large number of excellent hospitals from which to choose. So how do you know which of them is the right one for you? Of course, you'll first want to talk with your physician. And then you may want to find out what special services various hospitals offer to meet your specific needs.
For instance, if you're a senior citizen, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says you have a 33 percent chance of falling in any given year. And you're five times more likely to be hospitalized for a fall than for other injury-related reasons.
So if you're over 60 and need to be hospitalized, you may want to find a hospital with geriatric services that pay particular attention to the needs of the elderly, including an inpatient Fall Prevention Program. "It can be so easy for a fragile older person to fall, and the consequences of a broken hip can be severe," says Bridgeport Hospital-affiliated internal medicine physician Charles E. Kochan, Jr., MD. "A broken hip in a woman over age 60 can lead to permanent disability and even death. But Bridgeport Hospital's Fall Prevention Program reduces the risk of a fall and helps keep older patients safe."
At Bridgeport Hospital, fall prevention begins with an assessment by a registered nurse. If you are at risk, he or she will put a bright-green armband on your wrist to alert all staff and departments that you are not steady on your feet. Then a physical therapist will complete a screening to find out if you have mobility problems that put you at extra risk for a fall.
We will place a small autumn-colored leaf on the spine of your medical chart. (Autumn, as in fall— note the symbolism.) This way, when you and your chart travel to another department, such as Radiology, for tests or treatments, the staff there will have yet another reminder that you are at high risk, and will be especially alert to help you move around. We will also place a small card with a leaf outside the door to your room. This will discreetly alert staff that you are at risk of falling.
We also welcome family members visiting with you. "A familiar, loved face can greatly improve your well being and comfort in an unfamiliar environment," says Dr. Kochan.

Here we review a paper published in Analytical Biochemistry in which the Proteasome-Glo™ Assays were used to assay for proteasome activity in mouse skeletal muscle extracts.
Promega Corporation
The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) targets proteins for degradation, playing important roles in removing aberrantly synthesized or misfolded proteins and regulating protein half-life/activity in the cell. The UPS is implicated in regulation of the cell cycle(1)
, suppression of HPV oncogenesis in cervical cancer(2)
, and loss of proteasome function is implicated in some diseases including neurodegenerative diseases(3)
, diabetes(4)
and myofibrillar myopathies(5)
Because tissue samples from biopsy specimens are usually available in only small amounts, investigating proteasome-associated diseases is difficult. In a paper by Strucksberg et al., published in Analytical Biochemistry(6)
, the authors adapted a highly sensitive proteasome activity assay for use with small quantities of skeletal muscle. Bioluminescent proteasome assays have been developed for purified proteasome(7)
(Proteasome-Glo™ Assays) and for cells in culture(8)
(Proteasome-Glo™ Cell-Based Assays); this article describes an application of the Proteasome-Glo™ Assay for tissue extracts. Applying this sensitive and reliable assay to tissue extracts could enable more thorough investigation of the mechanism of proteasome-mediated pathologies.
"This article describes an application of the Proteasome-Glo™ Assay for tissue extracts. Applying this sensitive and reliable assay to tissue extracts could enable more thorough investigation of the mechanism of proteasome-mediated pathologies."
The authors developed their assay using mouse quadriceps femoris and soleus muscles. In their work, they determined that tissue sample preparation is critical for reliable assay results. Tissues were sonicated and lysates prepared using ice cold reagents and cold centrifugation. Protein content was measured using a fluorescent quantitation kit. After quantitation, 3µg of the protein extract supernatants were analyzed via Western blot, and the amount of the 26S proteasome S4-subunit in each tissue extract was determined for normalizing activity assay results later.
For the proteasome activity assay, the authors modified the Proteasome-Glo™ Chymotrypsin-Like Assay and the Proteasome-Glo™ Trypsin-Like Assay. These assays monitor two of the three catalytic activities of the proteasome, and were originally designed for applications such as screening compounds for their effects on proteasome activity rather than characterizing proteasome activity from tissue extracts. Then enzyme-coupled luminescent assay requires just a single addition step. The proteasome activity cleaves a luminogenic substrate containing a specific signal peptide coupled to aminoluciferin to yield luciferin. The released luciferin serves as a substrate for luciferase in a second, simultaneous reaction to generate light. This enzyme-coupled reaction produces a stable luminescent signal that is proportional to the proteosome activity in the sample.
To adapt the assays for tissue extracts the authors developed the following procedure:
The luminescent signal intensity is a reflection of the total peptidase activity: that of the proteasome and any nonspecific peptidase present in the extract that might cleave the peptide from the aminoluciferin. To calculate proteasome activity, two measurements were made: one with the addition of the irreversible and specific proteasome inhibitor, adamantane-acetyl-(6-aminohexanoyl)3-(leucinyl)3-vinyl-(methyl)-sulfone, and one without inhibitor. Proteasome activity was calculated by subtracting the values obtained from the assays with inhibitor (background) from the total activity (no inhibitor). Proteasomal activity across different extracts was normalized to the amount of proteasome present in the extracts using the immunoblots performed earlier.
Several factors were critical for achieving a sensitive and reliable assay. The authors noted that even one cycle of freezing extracts at –80°C dramatically reduced proteasomal activity. Also, the amount of extract used affected signal intensity and stability and had to be optimized for this experimental system. Analysis of at least two mice was required to obtain reliable results with acceptable standard deviations.
The Proteasome-Glo™ Cell-Based Assays are designed to minimize the release of lysosomal proteases that can produce nonspecific background signal; however, with tissue extracts, lysosomal proteases are difficult to avoid particularly when sonicating samples. The authors use a proteasome-specific inhibitor to ensure specificity of the signal. Accounting for the nonspecific activity and normalizing to the total amount of proteasome in these extracts were essential steps for adapting these assays for use with tissue extracts. Once the assay was optimized for mouse skeletal muscle, the authors demonstrated that proteasome activity differs for different muscles within the same "normal" animal. They also showed that proteasome activity decreases with age.

This story was corrected on Oct. 3, 2013. An explanation follows the story.
Gaithersburg will gain a new eatery when chef and owner Robert Wiedmaier opens a second location of Brasserie Beck in the Kentlands in early 2014.
With a location already in Washington, D.C., Brasserie Beck is known for its extensive Belgian beer list, mussels, beef carbonnade, steak and frites, tagliatelle with wild boar ragu, and other entrees.
The restaurant, located at 311 Kentlands Blvd., will occupy the space formerly belonging to O'Donnell's Sea Grill, which had been a longtime community staple.
City Manager Tony Tomasello said he thinks the restaurant will be an exciting addition.
"People are ready for something different," he said. "This restaurateur has been successful in other areas, so I think people are pretty curious."
Wiedmaier's RW Restaurant Group also includes Mussel Bar & Grille in Bethesda, Arlington and Atlantic City, Wildwood Kitchen in Bethesda, Brabo in Alexandria, and Marcel's and Brasserie Beck in Washington, D.C.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified the location of the first Brasserie Beck restaurant. It is in Washington, D.C.

Grand Prix motocross took the plunge next to the Beto Carrero World theme park yesterday for the Brazilian round of the FIM Motocross World Championship and the guys certainly got 'wet 'n wild' as rain lashed the circuit. The motos became a war of survival in an authentic 'mudder'.
On an awe-inspiring stage for racing and in front of 42,000 noisy fans (weekend figure) Team CP377 Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Christophe Pourcel was superlative to win the first moto by a massive one and a half minutes despite starting from 20th in the gate. The French ace took a steady fourth in the next moto to make sure of his second victory in the premier MX1 class this season after just five events. Next to the former AMA SX Lites Champion on the box was Monster Energy Yamaha's David Philippaerts for the second week in succession and for the third year in a row in Brazil.
MX2 belonged to Floride Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Tommy Searle. The Brit, like Pourcel, sprayed winner's champagne for the second time in 2012 and halved the points deficit in the championship chase to Jeffrey Herlings to just 20 after going 1-1 in the toughest race conditions of the year. Full props to Monster Energy Yamaha's Christophe Charlier who picked up some silverware for the first time in his career with second overall.
The Grand Prix of France at St Jean D'Angely is up next on June 3rd.

As a biochemist in the United States Army, St. Marys native Maj. Keith Sharrow enjoys working on diverse projects.
"The aspect of my career that I enjoy the most is that I have the opportunity to do a variety of different jobs," Sharrow said. "In the past eight years, I have conducted head trauma research at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, run a field-mobile chemical analysis lab, and run two different sections within the largest environmental analysis laboratory within the U.S. Army. I have been able to do all these different jobs while progressing in my career.
Cassandra Mosier, Kersey native, enlisted as a volunteer in the U.S. Peace Corps and currently lives and teaches in Edinet, Moldova. Moldova is located between Ukraine and Romania.
"Even on the toughest days, I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad I'm working hard to help with situations few have had the nerve to address," Mosier said.
The 24-year-old Mosier left the U.S. on Jun. 6, 2011, to embark on a 27-month adventure. She said her passion lies in teaching, which she has taken to new horizons, quite literally.
St. Marys native Bill Parana is a busy man. Now living in the northwestern mountain area of Hendersonville, N.C., he holds down both a full-time and a part-time job and finds them both interesting, especially as they are quite different from each other.
Rick Wagner, originally of St. Marys and now a resident of Manassas, Va., has spent most of his adult life working for the armed forces, where he has been able to apply his unique engineering perspective to problem-solving strategies for government agencies and military entities.
Whether it's a young couple just starting out or a retiree looking to downsize, many people dream of finding just the right home. It is the dream of St. Marys native Melanie Geci to help them find it as an Erie-based real estate agent.
"I absolutely love it, Geci said. "It's just the joy of seeing people getting into a home that they just fell in love with."
The study of human origin, progression and behaviors is a fascinating topic to many people. Kersey native Herman Pontzer, now living in Brooklyn, N.Y., helps students explore the human family tree as a professor of anthropology at Hunter College, City University of New York, in New York City. He uses many disciplines and skills in his career, and his work has taken him around the world.
Katie Funaki, originally of St. Marys and now living in Pittsburgh, has parlayed her love of the moving image into a career as a freelance digital media specialist.
This line of work involves a meticulous knowledge of technical and aesthetic aspects concerning film and film production and requires versatility in a number of different facets of those processes.
In his role as an international policy analyst for Bread for the World Institute, an advocacy organization in Washington, D.C., St. Marys native Scott Bleggi is working hard toward the goal of eliminating hunger and poverty in the United States and overseas.
Bleggi's work, which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, involves researching and determining ways in which governmental policies and development assistance can be best applied and most effective in advancing maternal and child nutrition.
Kersey native Mike Wehler helps student-athletes with decisions both on and off the mat as the head wrestling coach at Mercyhurst College in Erie.
Wehler is entering his eighth year as a head coach and said his job doesn't make him feel pinned down at all.
Fox Township native Micah Hoffman is currently living in Los Angeles and working as a resident physician in psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior of the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital of Ronald Reagan Hospital at University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center. He graduated from Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University with his Doctor of Medicine degree this past spring with high clinical honors.

It's 1/8" rolled plate, I've thought of that already!!
welcome to the site.
great looking projects.
i dressed up a mail box also and its servived for a wile now.
also made a few to sell just havent had a chance to do it. i also want to get a few Miller stickers for the one i'm using, would look nice right behind the flames.thanks for the help

That's a sharp looking mailbox and the pole that it's on looks great as well.
I go through about a mailbox a year. They are serviceable for a year, but they look pretty bad for half that. My neighbor has a threaded pipe in the ground. He screws his mailbox on in the morning before work, and brings the whole mailbox in when he picks up his mail in the evening. Seems to work pretty well for him. I was thinking of making one specifically designed to deflect baseball bats up or down. I was also thinking about making it from 1/4 inch thick plate. Then all I'd have to worry about is sweeping up all the broken baseball bat pieces every Sunday morning . I think in the end it would just end up being the unbreakable comb of mailboxes. As soon as you label something as unbreakable, somebody has to set out on a mission to break it.
i think if some one was smashing my mail box on a regulare basis i would fill one with cement and put it out at night. might just knock them out of the truck when thay hit it. be shore to put a nice paint job on it to get there atention.
there are many ways to make a box no fun to hit, and after the first one smacks your strong box, i'm thinking your box would be safe after that.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Nice mailbox
Hi we really liked your mailbox....but couldn't help but notice you La Crosse Tribune box too. Where is Ciano? We lived in Onalaska for 6 years. Small world isn't it. The J.D tractor is nice too. We tried to e-mail you personally, but it wouldn't go through. We logged on last week under bobwelding, but now this sight changed us to weweld. Frustrating!
We knew several welder in the Galesville area when we worked at Northern Engraving. Did you ever work there? If you didn't you were lucky!
Very nice mailboxes outlaw66 and fun4now, really cool. I had the same problem with my mailbox but cars kept hitting it. I live on a curve with no shoulder and i would lose at atleast 2 a year, So I built a new post all out of a piece of I-beam and a rubbermaid mailbox. I didnt bury it very deep so it just gets knocked over and I can put it right back up. Of course there are usually car parts laying around Also the rubber maid mailbox can take a few bat hits since its flexible.
I would hate for one of your mailboxes to get destroyed, lots of work in themScott

Monday, June 07, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (June 7, 2004) - East Tennessee State University women's soccer coach Heather Henson announced today the addition of junior transfer Erin Ferris to the squad for the 2004-05 season. "Erin will play for us as an outside midfielder and may even see time as a frontrunner as well. She has good speed and believes and knows how important the position of outside midfielder is," commented Henson. "Her services in the attacking third will help our offense." A native of Columbus, Ohio, Ferris joins the ETSU team after a two-year career at the University of Memphis where she saw action as a midfielder. In her freshman season she won the team's "Spirit" Award. A two-year letterwinner at Worthing Kilbourne H.S., Ferris played for Chris Moles, where as a senior she led her team in points (31), goals (12) and assists (8). She was a two-year captain of her high school soccer team and captain of her club soccer team. Ferris also received two letters in track helping her track team win league championship and the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams she participated on qualified for regional and state championships. Ferris joins ETSU's 2004-05 recruiting class of six freshmen announced in early February.

I had a stiff back and neck. I started with a large dose 16 capsules until (a few weeks) it felt like I was making progress and reduced to a maintenance dose of 10 then 5 then 2 capsules daily. I can now bend over and touch the floor with ease and my neck is no longer stiff and does not crunch when I move from side to side.
