What is the Brain? That's the question I asked myself when I started this website.
I started with the physical brain and found two seemingly opposing, but equally appealing models. One, the Triune Brain, was an evolutionary brain composed of a rudimentary reptilian brain, a mammalian brain and a primate brain with a fourth brain, the frontal lobes being in the early or mid-stages of development. Then there was the split brain theory. That's the brain that is split down the middle, with the intuitive brain on the right side and the logical brain on the left.
I haven't discussed it yet, but the chemical brain is the one that the shamans and other consciousness explorers tinker with using a variety of substances like peyote, LSD, DMT, ayahuasca and other psychedelics (or entheogens, if you like).
The electrical brain is the one you tap into when you listen to brainwave entrainment tracks. This brain is all about electrical activity and frequencies. Most of the time we're only fully conscious when we're operating in the beta frequency band. However, with practice, we can become conscious while dreaming or even while in deep sleep. Some people have even been able to find ways to exit their bodies by tapping into the right frequencies. This seems implausible until you dig a little deeper and I'll get to that soon, so bear with me.
Confused by all the unanswered questions about the brain, a brilliant neurophysiologist came up with the theory of the holographic brain. I've written a little bit about that, so rather than repeat myself, you can read about it here.
About a week ago, a reader suggested I look at a talk given by Tom Campbell, author of My Big TOE. I had never heard of him before, but after listening to the first 9 segments of his presentation on Youtube, it made all the effort I've put into this site worthwhile. Tom Campbell's "TOE" (Theory Of Everything) is that we have digital brains and live in a digital universe. I haven't had the opportunity yet to watch the other 9 segments, but the first 9 have given me more than enough food for thought for the past week. I'm just going to share a few of my thoughts with you here.
The expression, "the brain is like a computer" has always annoyed me because it's got it backwards. A computer is a pale reflection of the brain and tragically inferior, so I was a little put off at first when Tom Campbell suggested that we live in a digital universe, but soon he converted me to his way of thinking.
Back in about 1983 I took a short course called "Introduction to Computer Programming." I remember very little about it, but I do remember learning that computers use a binary numerical system composed of ones and zeroes. Of course, all the computer code in the world is useless unless it is converted into electrical signals and that's exactly what a computer does. From memory, zeroes are negative and ones are positive. Put together in sequence, they make up the logic of the system, the pixels on the screen, the sounds we hear through our headphones, the letters I am typing here, etc., etc. The word "bit" is short for "binary digit" and as we all know, the more "bits" you've got, the more computing power you have.
A couple of weeks ago, I had an assignment about salt lamps and how they work. The theory is this: carbon dioxide is composed of positive and negative ions. As Wikipedia says:
An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.
Salt lamps are said to work by producing more negative ions than positive ones, thus cancelling out the debilitating effects of the excess of positive ions in the stale air of an office or other polluted environment. Be that as it may, the connection between bits being organised into bytes, megabytes, etc. in order to compute information and the fact that electrical activity organises information in the phenomenal world is compelling, to say the least.
Take it a bit further, to the quantum level and, as too many quantum physicists have pointed out, light waves exhibit the properties of a particle only when they are observed. When they are not observed, they have both wavelike qualities and particle-likee qualities, with the potential to "become something" if they are observed. This is the kind of thing Campbell talks about and when you listen to him, it seems laughingly obvious that we do live in a digital universe.
I wasn't quite ready for it, though, when he said that the subjective universe was infinitely larger than the objective universe. Then it all became clear when he mentioned in the fifth segment of the series that he had studied with Robert Monroe, author of Journeys Out of the Body, and had visited alternative realities hundreds of times and had verified the reality of his experiences. This was no idle boast, either. It was his job as a physicist to both explore out of body experiences and devise ways to verify and replicate them. You can read his story on his website, MY BIG TOE. Click the link and you will be digitally taken to his "About the Author" page.
After listening to Tom Campbell speak, any lingering ideas you may have that this world is the only "real world" will vanish. He is just too logical and, more importantly, has too much experience at exploring alternative realities to dismiss. Personally, I was MOST impressed by the fact that he is aware that his Big TOE is a metaphor only. Every theory and every belief system we have is a metaphor, including quantum physics. If a practising physicist understands this, I reckon he must be on to something.
I'm sure I'll be writing more about Tom Campbell's Big TOE. In fact, it's hard for me to stop now. However, I'm going to dust off my Neuroprogrammer brainwave entrainment software and let Tom explain himself to you. I've embedded his entire Youtube presentation below. It's over an hour long, but you can always listen to it in segments as I'm doing. It takes awhile for him to warm up, so give him some time. You'll be glad you did.
ps: What is the brain? It's all of the above: physical, chemical, electrical, holographic and digital. Or none of the above. Use your own metaphor.

This isn't scandalous as much as it is weird. Kevin Durant tweeted a photo of himself smoking—from what seems to be a hookah—before quickly deleting it and claiming his phone was hacked. Hookah's legal. (One can obviously pack other, non-NBA-approved things into a hookah, but there's no proof of that.) What's the deal?

— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) January 10, 2014
It's possible that Durant was hacked, though athletes use that dumb excuse all the time when they do something they shouldn't. Either way, this whole ordeal is just odd.
Update: Nick Collison, Durant's teammate, says that Durant didn't tweet that out. So, he may actually have been hacked.
@Deadspin I saw the tweet come up on my timeline when he was outside the bus going through TSA security. He didn't send it. Very weird.— Nick Collison (@nickcollison4) January 10, 2014

Jenson Button reckons Romain Grosjean needs to "sort his s**t out" after yet another first lap incident at the Japanese GP...
Jenson Button reckons Romain Grosjean needs to "sort his s**t out" after yet another first lap incident at the Japanese GP.
The Lotus driver, who was handed a one-race ban earlier in the season after causing first corner carnage at Spa, was at it again at Suzuka on Sunday.
This time it was Mark Webber who was the unlucky victim as Grosjean ran into the unsuspecting Webber. Webber needed repairs and Grosjean was slapped with a ten-second stop-go penalty.
The punishments, though, don't seem to have an impact on the 26-year-old, who has now been involved in eight first lap incidents.
"Unbelievable isn't it?" Button told the Guardian.
"Is it for Formula One to do something about it? Or should he just take a good look at himself and sort his shit out, because that what he needs to do.
"He's quick, he's very talented in terms of speed and results. But you can't do that.
"We saw it a lot in GP2 with him. He'd either win or crash and it seems he has the same philosophy and he needs to change his views."
As to be expected Webber wasn't watching his words in the aftermath, calling Grosjean a "first-lap nutcase."
He added: "It makes it frustrating because a few big guys probably suffered from that and maybe he needs another holiday. Maybe we have two separate starts, one for him and one for us."
But while that isn't a realistic solution, Webber's team boss says one needs to be found as while Grosjean "obviously" has speed, he's not only cost his Lotus team dearly but he's also ruining other people's Championships.
"Hopefully he will have a good look in the mirror after this incident - or his team need to get him more under control," Christian Horner told Autosport.
"He [Grosjean] is capable of doing it, as he is obviously a quick driver, but so many incidents is unacceptable at this level.
"He needs to really talk to himself, or the team needs to talk to him, because not only is it dangerous for others, but he has cost himself and his team a colossal amount of points - together with the innocent victims that he has collected en route."
He added: "I think that it was just a complete misjudgement [by Grosjean].
"The most important thing when you make a mistake is to learn from it, and I think the most disappointing thing is that it is a repeat incident and proved extremely costly for Mark, as it did for [Lewis] Hamilton and [Fernando] Alonso at Spa, and numerous other victims earlier in the year.
"I think the most worrying thing is he doesn't appear to be learning from his mistakes."
Meanwhile, former driver turned commentator Martin Brundle believes Grosjean's instinctive reactions when it comes to close racing are lacking.
"These things don't happen by coincidence," said Brundle. "[Grosjean's] judgment is clearly wrong in close combat and I don't know what he can do about it because it's such an instinctive thing down there [in racing situations].
"You can't consciously start making decisions. And then when you start getting tense about that, it's all the more likely to happen."

- people in the U.S. have this name View Nelson Kalil on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname, which originated in the Middle Ages as either a patronymic from Neil or a metronymic from Nell. Use as a given name probably began as a tribute to the British admiral Lord Nelson (1758–1805), the victor of the Battle of Trafalgar; see also Horatio. It is, however, now much more common in the United States than in Britain, its popularity there in the 1930s and 40s no doubt having been influenced by the American film actor and singer Nelson Eddy (1901–67). Nowadays the name is universally associated with the South African statesman Nelson Mandela (b. 1918).

ETSU baseball comes from behind to defeat USC Upstate in extra innings, 6-4
Requires Adobe Flash
Scott McNally
Saturday, March 05, 2011
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (March 4, 2011)
- After falling behind 4-0, the ETSU baseball team rallied to score six unanswered runs to defeat USC Upstate 6-4 in ten innings Friday afternoon at Harley Park in Spartanburg, S.C.
Scott McNally
(Roswell, Ga.) picked up his second win of the week and fourth of the season after throwing 3.0 scoreless innings of relief for the Buccaneers (6-2, 1-0 A-Sun), while Andrew Wyant was tabbed with the loss for the Upstate (4-7, 0-1 A-Sun) after surrendering three runs on five hits in 2.0 innings.
The Spartans got things going in the bottom of the first as Trey Richardson drove a two-run home run over the fence in left to take a 2-0 lead.
ETSU threatened in the top of the third as the Bucs loaded the bases with two outs, but USC Upstate's Gaither Bumgarnder robbed junior
Dylan Pratt
(Johnson City, Tenn.) of a hit as he made a great play at third to end the inning.
In the bottom half, Upstate added two more runs on two hits and a couple Buccaneer errors to take a 4-0 advantage.
The Bucs cut the Spartan's lead to 4-1 in the top of the sixth as
Derek Niesman
(Wellington, Fla.) came in to score on a bases loaded single to third by centerfielder
Matthew Scruggs
(Knoxville, Tenn.).
The Buccaneers loaded the bases again in the top of the seventh, but USC Upstate turned a double play on a ball hit to second by shortstop
Kerry Doane
(Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) to end the threat.
After two quick outs to start the top of the eighth, ETSU loaded the bases for the third straight inning. With the bases loaded, senior
Paul Hoilman
(Johnson City, Tenn.) drew his fourth walk of the day to bring in
Clinton Freeman
(Jonesborough, Tenn.) from third. In the next at bat, Pratt drew an RBI walk to make the score 4-3.
Freeman then tied the game at 4-all in the top of the ninth as he drove in Doane on a ball hit to first.
The Bucs completed the comeback in the top of the tenth as
Bo Reeder
(Cookeville, Tenn.) and Hoilman both singled to lead off the inning. After a balk moved Reeder and Hoilman up a base, Pratt drove a single to left scoring Reeder from third to give ETSU a 5-4 lead. Catcher
Derek Trent
(Kingsport, Tenn.) closed out the scoring for the Bucs as he brought in Hoilman from third on a sacrifice fly to left.
Reeder earned his third save of the year as he threw a perfect tenth inning to close out the game.
ETSU returns to action tomorrow at 1 p.m. against USC Upstate in game two of the series. For more information on ETSU baseball and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Women's tennis picks up key A-Sun victory over Campbell, 5-2
Saturday, March 19, 2011
BUIES CREEK, N.C. (Mar. 18, 2011) - After sweeping through doubles play, the ETSU women's tennis team took four out of the six singles matches to defeat Campbell, 5-2, Friday afternoon at the Nisbet Tennis Center.
"Today we came out strong and with confidence," said ETSU Assistant Coach Travis Sandlant. "We knew what was on the line and what we were playing for. It is always good to come away with a win against an undefeated team and I was very happy with the performance today."
With the victory, the Bucs move to 7-6 overall and 4-1 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile, Campbell falls to 8-5 overall and 4-1 in conference play. The Camels were all alone in first place in the A-Sun standings before the match started, but now there is a log jam of four teams tied atop the league. ETSU, Campbell, Kennesaw State, UNF, and Stetson each have just one loss in A-Sun action.
The Bucs opened up play by earning the doubles point after taking all three matches. At No. 1, the doubles duo of Paula Jaime (Madrid, Spain) and Karina Kedzo (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) quickly defeated Lisa Sutton and Dominek Wallaart, 8-1. ETSU clinched the doubles point at the No. 3 position when Andra Voinea (Brasov, Romania) and Diana Navrostska (Lviv, Ukraine) knocked off Anais Gomar and Heather Robinson, 8-1. To cap off doubles play, Kelly Holtzhausen (Johannesburg, South Africa) and Marine Wieliczko (Rouen, France) also earned a victory for the Bucs at No. 3 as they dropped Karolina Chernaya and Borislava Nikolova, 8-3.
The Bucs kept the momentum rolling into singles action as they got off to strong starts, especially in the middle and bottom portions of the lineup. Kedzo put the Bucs up 2-0 after she quickly defeated Robinson, 6-0, 4-0, at the No. 4 spot. At No. 4, Kedzo won in straight sets over Mhirit, 6-1, 6-2. Just a little while later, Navrostska knocked off Wallaart, 6-1, 6-0, at the No. 5 position to make it 3-0 for the Bucs.
ETSU clinched the victory at the No. 6 position when Voinea earned a straight set win over Natasha Afridi, 6-3, 6-2. Voinea is now a perfect 5-0 in A-Sun play and 9-3 overall in dual match play. The Bucs also picked up a victory at the No. 3 position as Wieliczko defeated Nikolova, 6-3, 6-4.
The only Campbell victories came at the top of the lineup as Sutton and Chernaya earned victories at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, respectively.
ETSU returns to action tomorrow with a match against USC Upstate, in Spartanburg, S.C. The match is set to begin at 2:00 p.m.

Gallery: Modern, Green US-Canada Border Crossing by Julie Snow Architec...
The border between Canada and the US in Minnesota is an expansive, open wetland bog and the Port of Entry is conceived as a specific response to all that vastness. The long, low volume reiterates the dominant horizon of the landscape as well as the east and west border between US and Canada. Vehicular traffic and flow and the building's layout were all carefully designed for intuitive traffic movement as well as safety and security for the border crossing officers.
Sustainably harvested cedar wood is used to clad the entire building and stained to a warm red-brown or black. Energy efficiency was at the heart of the building's design and integrates the latest technologies to achieve a low energy demand while maximizing security. A geothermal heating and cooling system along with daylighting reduces energy use, while rainwater is collected from the roof for use in the building. Completed in February of 2010, the Warroad Land Port of Entry is awaiting its LEED Silver certification.

With both party conventions over and the candidates' bounces having largely subsided, the latest national polls utilizing live callers put President Obama ahead of Mitt Romney by somewhere between 1 percentage point (ABC News/Washington Post) and 6 percentage points (CNN). The Gallup and CBS/New York Times polls have Obama's advantage at 3 points, while Democracy Corps and Fox News put it at 5 points. Private polling on both sides pegs the Obama lead at perhaps 4 or 5 points. The live-caller differential is important because interactive voice-response, or IVR, surveys (so-called "robo polls") are legally prohibited from calling cell phones; between 30 and 40 percent of voters are now exclusively or primarily served by cell phones. Those polls utilizing cell-phone-only voters reach a constituency disproportionately younger and more likely to be minorities, thus the distinction between IVR and polls by live callers is very important.
Interestingly, among these six polls, the narrowest (ABC/Washington Post) and the widest Obama margins were the two that were conducted soonest after the Democratic convention. Gallup at one point soon after Democrats left Charlotte had Obama up by 7 points, but that lead gradually narrowed and seems to have stabilized at 3 points, 48 to 45 percent for Oct. 10-16. It is the one remaining poll of the group still looking at registered voters; the rest have begun focusing on likely voters. At some point in the next few weeks Gallup is expected to begin reporting trial heats both for all voters and from among the likely-voter subgroup. Some on the GOP side say Romney's choice of Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as his running mate gained the ticket about 2 points, but the combined effect of the conventions negated the gain, putting the Romney campaign back in the position of being down by 4 or 5 points.
Contrary to what you might read might on the blogosphere, there is very little disagreement between top Democratic and Republican pollsters on where this race is right now, either on the national level or, more importantly, in the swing states. Keep in mind that there are multiple pollsters involved in each of the swing states: a presidential campaign on each side, one or more super PACs with their own pollsters, plus others done for senatorial and gubernatorial races (and their national party campaign committees) or for ballot initiatives. So there is a whole layer of very expensive, high-quality polling in this race, most of which never sees the light of day. But some pollsters or the strategists who commission such polls will agree to characterize the polling in a race on an off-the-record basis, giving, say, a 2- or 3-point range of what their data shows. Among the broadly defined 11 battleground states, Romney is best situated in North Carolina, where the Elon University poll put him ahead by 4 points at the tail end of the Republican convention. More recent private polling is said to be very close, but insiders on both sides expect it will ultimately end up in the Romney column. New Hampshire seems to be about even, give or take a percentage point. Virginia and Wisconsin are the states with the narrowest Obama leads (he is ahead by between 2 and 4 points), while Obama is thought to be up by between 2 and 5 points in Florida and Nevada. Next comes Iowa and Colorado; the Hawkeye State apparently has Obama ahead by between 3 and 6 points, Colorado between 4 and 6 points. Then come the big-ticket items: Obama ahead by between 5 and 8 points in Ohio, by 6 or more in Michigan, and the high single digits in Pennsylvania.
Obviously there are dozens of permutations in the calculus for a Romney path to victory, but as long as Michigan and Pennsylvania are noncompetitive and Ohio continues to look tough for Romney, he would have to come pretty close to running the table to get the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Obama winning Colorado, Iowa, and Nevada would put 276 electoral votes in the Democratic column—six more than necessary for a win—even if Romney carried North Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Florida. At this point Romney is only ahead in one, tied in another, and trailing in the other three.
This election is still quite close and could go either way, but Romney badly needs something to happen to change the trajectory of this race. If things remain as they are today, he loses. Presidential debates are scheduled for Oct. 3, 16, and 22. A vice presidential debate is scheduled for Oct. 11, and unemployment numbers are released on Oct. 5 and Nov. 2. These are six events that could prove consequential. Though debates arguably have changed campaign trajectories in 1976 and 1980, in the last seven presidential elections they didn't materially affect the outcome of the races. Obviously, candidate gaffes or campaign miscues outside the debates can matter as well as external events, domestic or foreign. Anything involving an attack by Israel and/or the United States against Iranian nuclear facilities would certainly create an "all bets are off" situation. Major incidents elsewhere in the Middle East or around the globe—for example, North Korea—could be consequential as well.

Gordon Longsworth
B.A. College of the Atlantic
M.R.P. Planning, University of Pennsylvania
Course areas: geographic information systems, land use planning
Mr. Longsworth has 23 years experience developing and teaching Geographic Information Systems. He has held the position of GIS Laboratory Director since 1993. Mr. Longsworth was introduced to GIS as an undergraduate at College of the Atlantic and was lead student in the establishment of the GIS Laboratory in1988. Since then, he has supervised and collaborated on numerous projects for federal, state and local governments, non-governmental organizations, universities, companies and individuals. He enjoys the challenge of tackling projects from all academic disciplines. Gordon also does private consulting which enables him to work on an even broader range of projects and has a small business where he builds light camping trailers for motorcycles and small cars. Notable achievements are a Special Achievement Award in GIS from ESRI, Inc.on behalf of the college. He has had maps selected for publication in the prestigious, annual ESRI Map Book. His students have gone on to earn advanced degrees, win awards, hold key positions, become teachers and start businesses. Gordons strengths are in teaching COA students applied ways of using GIS to suit their particular needs and interests. He earned a BA in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic in 1991 and a Master of Regional Planning, with awards, from the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 where he studied under environmental planning pioneer Ian McHarg. Mr. McHarg was also a long time friend of COA and inspired founding trustees in the ways of Human Ecology. Gordons passion is still about sending his students off into the real world with the best tools and education possible to tackle the many challenges that face them.
Courses Taught
HS2020Geographic Information Systems I: Foundations & ApplicationsEver-rising numbers of people and their impact on the Earth's finite resources could lead to disaster, not only for wildlife and ecosystems but also for human populations. As researchers gather and publish more data, GIS becomes vital to graphically revealing the inter-relationships between human actions and environmental degradation. Much of what threatens the earth and its inhabitants is placed-based. Solutions require tools to help visualize these places and prescribe solutions. This is what GIS is about. Built on digital mapping, geography, databases, spatial analysis, and cartography, GIS works as a system to enable people to better work together using the best information possible. For these reasons, some level of competency is often expected for entry into many graduate programs and jobs, particularly in natural resources, planning and policy, and human studies. The flow of this course has two tracts, technical and applied. The course begins with training in the basics of the technology. Then, skills are applied to projects that address real-world issues. Project work composes the majority of course work and each student has the opportunity to develop their own project. Because GIS provides tools to help address many kinds of issues, GIS lends itself well to the theory of thinking globally and acting locally. Projects often utilize the extensive data library for the Acadia region developed by students since the lab was founded in 1988. The GIS Lab acts as a service provider to outside organizations and students can tap into the resources of a broad network of groups and individuals working towards a more sustainable future. Course evaluations are partially based on the on-time completion of exercises and problem sets. Most of the evaluation is based on critique of student independent final project work and related documentation.
Level: Introductory/Intermediate, Pre-requisites: Basic computer literacy. Class Limit: 8. Lab Fee: $75.

The pace was fast, faster than planned, too fast even for the men paid to drive it for at least 20 miles. The last of the rabbits was gone after 15 miles, leaving the runners trying to win Sunday's Bank of America Chicago Marathon to carry it for themselves.
The 36th annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon, with over 10,000 runners from 129 countries, winds through nearly 30 of Chicago's best-known neighborhoods.
A look back at the 2013 Chicago Marathon, as seen from a variety of neighborhoods in the city. (Chuck Berman & Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune)
Chicago Tribune online producer Charlie Johnson runs the 2013 Chicago Marathon. He takes us along for the ride!
While security was on the minds of many during their 26.2 mile journey through the city's streets, participants didn't let it stop them as the winning runner set a new course record in what has become a historic Chicago Marathon.
Before some Chicago Marathon runners make it to the start line, they'll have to navigate the CTA line.
As runners began arriving for the 36th annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and race officials welcomed them and feted eight athletes who have crossed the finish line every time since the race began in 1977.

Single-channel 3 / Part 2: Time and Circumstance
Mark Newport, Heroic Efforts, 2009
August 3 - October 28, 2012
Video gallery / Richard Meier building
The second work in this series, Mark Newport's Heroic Efforts, 2009, pokes fun at our superhero obsessed culture, and explores the complex gender issues that surround heroism (the artist's subject) and knitting (his medium of choice). In this fast-paced video, Sweaterman (a superhero of Newport's creation) attempts to knit a force field, intended to protect those around him. His unhurried technique, calm surroundings, and cozy-looking costume stand in humorous contrast to the crescendo of the background music and our own expectations of how a superhero is supposed to behave. Will he finish his force field in the allotted time, or remain quietly knitting in his rocking chair?

I know for certain that a lower action on a guitar makes playing easier, but does having a high action makes you more skilled by overcoming the extra difficulty or is it just an inconvenience?

The benefits of higher action go to lack of buzz. You can pick harder, which is nice for certain musics. I think it helps harmonics a little. I suppose there's some "You gotta want it, Rocky!" aspects, but really, yeah, high action is mostly something that'll keep beginners from moving forward.

I've had 4 oversized rotor kits. The Galfer on my kx450, the Batfly on my crf450x, the EBC on my xr650r, and the TUSK on my yz250. The galfer unit is my favorite bc it felt like it had the most bite and best feel. I really like the EBC kit on my xr650r as well. The Batfly is so much better than the stocker, but i was hoping it would have the feel the Galfer unit has. I haven't tried the TUSK kit yet, but the presentation and packaging is the best out of the 4 so far. It looks extremely well made too. The Braking Batfly is good, but i dont think it's the best.Read All Reviews

The band have received considerable positive critical appraisal in the UK and US, including major newspapers, music publications and numerous music blogs. To date, Fenech-Soler have released one self-titled studio album and four singles. Their single 'Stop and Stare' was named by BBC Radio 1 DJ Greg James as 'Record of the Week' and 'Weekend Anthem'. and Dutch public broadcaster NOS uses 'Demons' as an anthem for their 2010-11 UEFA Champions League broadcasts. The band recorded a Radio 1 Live Lounge session for Jo Whiley in February 2011.

If you see a pale lime-green food truck cruising the back streets around Tysons Corner, you have just spotted Tortuga, the property of chef-owner Andrew Smiedala.
What�s he cooking up in this tortoise-logoed truck? A whole range of Hispanic and Caribbean delights shaped into a torta, or sandwich, all intended to tantalize his patrons� palates.
What better wakeup call for midday doldrums than his Havana sandwich of roasted pork belly, serrano ham and the faintest sliver of Emmenthaler Swiss cheese, all grilled together into a tasty whole? That plus a Mexican Coca-Cola, and lunch takes on a special meaning.
�I base the recipes on a different city,� he said, and these include Havana, Guadalajara, Lima, Cuzco, Salamanca and Xalapa. �Xalapa is the capital city of the state of Veracruz,� he said, and this particular all-veg sandwich contains grilled summer squash, salsa Veracruz, and an avocado-goat cheese spread.
Smiedala�s back story proves that people can follow their dreams and make them work out. A native of Buffalo, N.Y., he took up cooking as a hobby while working as an operations manager for a local company. Growing up, he was exposed to unusual cuisines, many of which seemed strange to him at the time, but are all very commonplace now. He also worked at several food places, furthering his interest in cooking.
As an adult and before culinary school, he says he pushed himself to copy dishes he had enjoyed at restaurants. �I then set out to learn about different types of cuisines,� he says. �I was really pushing myself to find unfamiliar ones, especially Latino ones. My wife is from Bolivia, so I had a crash course in Bolivian and Peruvian dishes.�
All that helped to spark his interest in a culinary profession and, when he opted for a career change, Smiedala enrolled in Gaithersburg�s L�Academie de Cuisine. �It was so hard to start over,� he says. �But I had gotten to the point that I was not fulfilled with my former career.�
After receiving his diploma, he worked for Jos� Andr�s� Mexican restaurant, Oyamel, for two years, and during that time had the chance to work in several other of Andr�s� local restaurants. He then went to work for the Chef�s Warehouse to learn about different and trendy ingredients. While there, he realized he could establish his own restaurant — only one on wheels.
Smiedala launched Tortuga about one year ago, and finds that parking near an office building assures a steady stream of patrons. As one customer, Doug Francis of Re/Max in Fairfax noted, �I track him down wherever he is. My favorite is the Guadalajara because the chicken is fresh and light, the avocado is perfect. ... It keeps me coming back.�

Interpretive Handbook
81357 :
RNP Antibodies, IgG, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
RNP (also called nRNP and U1RNP) is a small nuclear ribonucleoprotein that contains 3 protein autoantigens (called A, C, and 68 kD). Sera that contain RNP antibodies react predominately with the A and 68 kD autoantigens. Antibodies to RNP occur in approximately 50% of patients with lupus erythematosus (LE) and in patients with other connective tissue diseases, notably mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). MCTD is characterized by high levels of RNP antibodies without detectable Sm or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibodies. MCTD resembles LE but is not accompanied by renal involvement.(1,2)
RNP is 1 of 4 autoantigens commonly referred to as extractable nuclear antigens (ENA). The other ENAs are SS-A/Ro, SS-B/La, and Sm. Each ENA is composed of 1 or more proteins associated with small nuclear RNA species (snRNP) ranging in size from 80 to approximately 350 nucleotides. Antibodies to ENAs are common in patients with connective tissue diseases (systemic rheumatic diseases) including LE, MCTD, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma (systemic sclerosis), and polymyositis/dermatomyositis.
See Connective Tissue Disease Cascade (CTDC) in Special Instructions and Optimized Laboratory Testing for Connective Tissue Diseases in Primary Care: The Mayo Connective Tissue Diseases Cascade in Publications.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with signs and symptoms of a connective tissue disease in whom the test for antinuclear antibodies is positive
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result for RNP antibodies is consistent with a connective tissue disease. Although strongly associated with connective tissue diseases, RNP antibodies are not considered a "marker" for any particular disease except in the following situation: when found in isolation (ie, dsDNA antibodies and Sm antibodies are not detectable), a positive result for RNP antibodies is consistent with the diagnosis of mixed connective tissue disease.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Testing for RNP antibodies is not useful in patients without demonstrable antinuclear antibodies.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
<1.0 U (negative)

Only in Nashville — and with a great cause to support — could such a range of acts join forces.

All Piaget's watchmaking expertise and know-how in Haute Joaillerie are expressed through these exceptional timepieces created in the heart of the Manufacture. This Emperador cushion-shaped model thus houses the 856P ultra-thin complication movement combining a double time-zone display and a perpetual calendar with retrograde displays for the date and the days, and conventional displays for the months and leap years. In order to emphasize this technical virtuosity, the indications appear on a particularly elegant black mother-of-pearl dial which is itself highlighted by a halo of light. The case (including the profiles), the hour-markers, the rim of the sapphire case-back, the clasp and even the oscillating weight visible through the transparent back are all richly set with baguette-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds. Over 100 hours of development were required to create this numbered timepiece with diamonds totaling 15.3 carats.
856P movement
The 856P movement, known as the "traveller's movement" is a self-winding mechanical movement. Similar to its immediate predecessor, the 800P movement, the 856P movement features a double barrel. It is characterised by the addition of three functions that are particularly useful to the modern traveller: a second time zone, a day/night indicator and a date display at 12 o'clock. Its 12-hour time display at 7 o'clock, allows the setting of a second time indication, different from the home time governed by the central movement. A day/night indicator is included in the central movement, depending on home time, and tells the traveller if the sun is still up in his home country. On the other side of the main dial, at 5 o'clock, a small seconds indication completes this perfect watch for the globe-trotter. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the bevelled bridges, the blued screws and the oscillating weight engraved with the Piaget coat-of-arms and set with 25 brilliant-cut diamonds round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.
Shape: Round
Functions: Small seconds at 4 o'clock, Retrograde date display at 3 o'clock, Retrograde day display at 9 o'clock, Second time zone at 8 o'clock (12 hours), Day/night indicator at 8 o'clock synchronised with the main time zone, Month at 12 o'clock, Year at 12 o'clock, Hours, Minutes

Economists have been telling us for years that American consumers are in debt and that the average household debt continues to rise at a rapid pace. According to the Federal Reserve, (as cited on creditcards.com), the average credit card debt per household with credit card debt is $15,788 and the total U.S. consumer debt as of March 2010 is $2.45 trillion. To top that off, the U.S. credit card 60-day delinquency rate is 4.27 percent and the U.S. credit card default rate hovers around 13.01 percent.
So what does all this have to do with the average American Biotechnologist? According to a recent study published in the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) scientists have recently discovered that one's propensity for credit card debt may partially be a function of genetics. According to the authors, individuals with a polymorphism of the Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene that has lower transcriptional efficiency are significantly more likely to report having credit card debt. Furthermore, having one or both MAOA alleles of the low efficiency type raises the average likelihood of having credit card debt by 7.8% and 15.9% respectively.
Monoamine oxidase A, also known as MAOA, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the MAOA gene. Monoamine oxidase A is an isozyme of monoamine oxidase. It preferentially deaminates norepinephrine (noradrenaline), epinephrine (adrenaline), serotonin, and dopamine (dopamine is equally deaminated by MAO-A and MAO-B). It is inhibited by clorgiline and befloxatone. (source: Wikipedia)
The story has also been highlighted in a recent issue of Scientific American and can be be seen here.

Back in June, the New Jersey Legislature overwhelmingly passed a bill to prohibit the slaughter, transport, and sale of horses for human consumption within the state. Unfortunately, Governor Chris Christie has not yet signed the bill into law, and it's not clear that he intends to.
With the clock ticking, several prominent New Jersey horse owners, equestrians and animal advocates, including Jessica Springsteen—daughter of Bruce—have sent a letter to Governor Chris Christie urging him to approve the horse slaughter ban. Christie is famously a huge Bruce Springsteen fan: Will a direct plea from The Boss's daughter move him to finally act?
Americans don't eat horse meat (it is shipped overseas), and 80% of American voters are opposed to the slaughter of U.S. horses for human consumption. What are you waiting for, Governor Christie?
See our latest press release to read a portion of the letter to the governor and learn more about New Jersey's pending horse slaughter ban. And if you live in New Jersey, we urge you to send your own letter to the governor—visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to get started!

Gallery: HEINEKEN WOBO: A Beer Bottle That Doubles as a Brick
Mr. Heineken's idea came after a visit to the Caribbean where he saw two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable building materials. The WOBO became his vision to solve both the recycling and housing challenges that he had witnessed on the islands.
The final WOBO design came in two sizes – 350 and 500 mm versions that were meant to lay horizontally, interlock and layout in the same manner as 'brick and mortar' construction. One production run in 1963 yielded 100,000 bottles some of which were used to build a small shed on Mr. Heineken's estate in Noordwijk, Netherlands. One of the construction challenges "was to find a way in which corners and openings could be made without cutting bottles," said Mr. Habraken.
Despite the success of the first "world bottle" project, the Heineken brewery didn't support the WOBO and the idea stalled. Interest was reignited in 1975 when Martin Pawley published Garbage Housing which included the chapter 'WOBO: a new kind of message in a bottle.' Heineken once again approached Habraken who teamed up with designer Rinus van den Berg and designed a building with oil drums for columns, Volkswagen bus tops for roof and the WOBO bottles for walls, but the structure was never built.
Today, the shed at the Heineken estate and a wall made of WOBO at the Heineken Museum in Amsterdam are the only structures where the 'beer brick' was used. As to the remaining WOBO's it's not clear how many exist, or where, but the idea, even some four decades later, remains a lasting example in end-use innovation.

Why do the bottles need to be specially shaped to be used as building material?: a wall made of ordinary round bottles would need a bit more mortar but be just as doable, and could be made of a mixutre of different bottles, or the builder could choose bottles of different sizes and colours according to the effect he wants, such as how much light comes into the room or the risk of breakage.
As it is, we are told that bottles, like everything else, can be used just once before being thrown away and becoming a liablity. The best way to use used bottles is to use them as bottles.

while i think this is one of the coolest things i've seen in a while, and i think it was a great idea in the past, i'm not sure that it meets our environmental goals of today. i think we need to figure out a system where the bottles just make their way back into the factory and get refilled (with beer, in this case). we should only have to recycle bottles that are too damaged to be reused. if not broken, a bottle will last quite some time and refilling it would utilize the inherent energy of the bottle all over again. it's all about closed loops people! 😉

[…] Here's a clever, and very green idea from Heineken which, unfortunately, arrived in1963, just before the first real green campaigns began. It's a remarkably simple idea, where each bottle is vaguely brick shaped, and designed in such a way as to link together pretty seamlessly. The purpose was to provide a use for the bottle beyond carrying Heineken's beer, and to enable people to build with the bottles afterward. I'd rather like a glass wall built out of beer bottles, although it might have been better if they produced the bottles in clear glass as well as green. […]

I have always been interested in glass in architecture, whether windows or walls, interior divisions or floors. That a consumer products company would, as a by product, create a building material is genius. You have to ask yourself why an idea like this, high end recycling, would not work. But then you just look at the automotive industry and ask yourself why we don't have $5000 cars in the realm of Rolls Royces, that run on gasoline that gets you 200 mpg. Why have computers dropped down to $500 for a Dell 2 gb laptop and we have expensive, inefficient product polluting the planet?
I'm trying to create paper products with our company here in Paris, Lalande Digital Art Press, that extend the lifetime of a piece of paper, give it sensuality, art and utility. Our "Carte de Rencontre" is a step in that general direction that the H bottle seemed to promise.
Fascinating piece, thank you for writing about it. Love your site. It's what we need more of…

October 14, 2007 at 9:30 am
Glass, for all its usefullness and ubiquity, is widely overlooked for its potential to enhance our lives in many ways and the building block bottle is just one of them…heineken should have considered using additional colors and expanded the kinds of building components that its packaging suggests. And I should add, that the very first time this idea came across my awareness was back in the late 60s when a dairy suggested the same design application for their milk bottles…see, it's not just about some commenters phobia about alcohol.
October 14, 2007 at 5:41 am

Yannick – the project with the bottles was in Monterrey (Mexico) and was done by a group I work with from time to time called Learning Site: http://www.learningsite.info. The [Collected Material Dwelling #002] looked at several factors in the occupied outer areas of Monterrey: there was tons of trash strewn all over the area, when the house was built there was no infrastructure for recycling plastic bottles, people in the area were making their houses and an economy out picking up trash… we incorporated all of these factors into making the six-sided house. An overview of the project is hear: http://www.learningsite.info/PETdwelling.htm. We built a model for the house, which has been traveling around in an exhibition called "Beyond Green". Here is our model – made from plastic bottles woven together with wire and cardboard – all materials from the waste streams of the museum we built the thing in. Here is the link: http://www.learningsite.info/collecteddwellingsmart.htm.
I first saw the WOBO as a kid in the 70s and was mesmerized by it. I think this kind of innovative design will melt the most obstinate people into understanding and getting excited about things like secondary use.
October 12, 2007 at 11:45 am
I know it wouldn't be as appealing as stacked empty WOBOs like in the picture above, but I'd guess that filling up the bottles with cement/concrete and THEN using them to build the house would provide the necessary stability?
October 12, 2007 at 11:19 am
I love the bottles too. I think I saw them first in a GREAT book called Paper or Plastic. Similar but not the same use of recycled bottles (wine) in building can be seen at: http://www.jakeshotel.com/ They use beautiful multi-colored bottles in walls and headboards etc. Gorgeous!

On a similar note, As I was doing research for development work, I read an article about a housing project in Mexico using 2L pop bottle for the walls. The bottle were laid vertically, fixed with mortar and covered with a layer of clay for finish. Those bottle can withstand a lot of pressure and, I suppose, can support roof structure. Another example of secondary use.
October 11, 2007 at 10:17 pm
okay and as much as that 'Achoholic's beach house' picture is cute and inspiriing… I don't think its really the point… imagine building your shower screen out of it, Or a feature wall! Or building sections into your swimming pool out of them with lights inside/behind. As a source of glass and architectural inspiration these things are unlimited.
October 11, 2007 at 10:13 pm
surely every country has building regulations!? why should practical idealism have to be limited by end use doubts? Isn't that the responsibility of the end-user? I'm sure I could build a deadly structure out of BHP steel and Scandenavian Hardwood… but there ain't nothin wrong with the raw.
Any way we can get some marketing hype going to revisit some of these ideas??? It doesn't have to be anything other than a limited run… the publicity would be massive. Why don't PR and marketing people read these sites…. the world is drooling over eco-friendly products and the world of marketing still wants to sell landfill. Get with the times folks, or next years kids will have your jobs.

According to Pawley's "Garbage Housing," 100,000 bottles were made. The bottles were discontinued because there was fear that they didn't produce a safe and reliable enough structure. Yes, it really is too bad that this idea wasn't developed further. Long before there was Cradle to Cradle, and its fantasies of green capitalism, there was Pawley's notion of Secondary Use (a bit more realistic then and now) – every product would be made so that it could have a secondary use – the WOBO is one of the greatest examples of this and is truly an enduring classic of this way of thinking.

Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection
The launch of this limited-edition duo is obviously timed perfectly to sync with the start of season 5 of Mad Men (March 25th).
The lipstick ($25) in Cherry and creme rouge ($40) in Evening Rose are pretty classic colors and the packaging is perfectly '60s... so much so that I swear I've seen identical items on my grandmother's dressing table or (not to be too morbid) and have picked up at recent estate sales. From the pattern on the boxes (actually inspired by EL packaging from the '60s) to the heavy-looking, metallic, fluted compact and lipstick tube, the tiniest details (blue faux-jewel clasp) are quite true to the era's aesthetic.
Paying $40 for a blush is, well, not really something I do but I might if that lucious compact it comes in is reusable.
It's available online and at Bloomingdales starting in March.
And here's the trailer for the new season... ex-ci-ting!
Watch more of them here.

This is a signature stat from PFF on which CB's allowed the most TD's and first downs. Smith was the worst, although when you consider the amount of snaps he was in for, he is 14th worst.
This is only a part of evaluating his play but, a big one.

Fun Facts
The photo of Steve in frame 2 is an homage to a strip of Calvin and Hobbes, wherein Calvin attempts to photograph Hobbes' daily post-school attack in order to prove to his dad that the attacks do, in fact, occur. When the photo comes out, it only looks like a stuffed tiger being thrown at a camera, much as Steve's portrait here looks like a stuffed Steve doll being thrown at a camera.
