Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis book is dedicated to your mastery of the art of realizing all your desires. The greatest gift you have been given is the gift of your imagination. Everything that now exists was once imagined. And everything that will ever exist must first be imagined. Wishes Fulfilled is designed to take you on a voyage of discovery, wherein you can begin to tap into the amazing manifesting powers that you possess within you and create a life in which all that you imagine for yourself becomes a present fact. Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explores, for the first time, the region of your highest self; and definitively shows you how you can truly change your concept of yourself, embark upon a God-realized way of living, and fulfill the spiritual truth that with God all things are possible-and "all things" means that nothing is left out. By practicing the specific technique for retraining your subconscious mind, you are encouraged to not only place into your imagination what you would like to manifest for yourself, but you are given the specifics for realigning your life so you can live out your highest calling and stay connected to your Source of being. From the lofty perspective of your highest self, you will learn how to train your imagination in a new way. Your wishes-all of them-can indeed be fulfilled. By using your imagination and practicing the art of assuming the feeling of your wishes being fulfilled, and steadfastly refusing to allow any evidence of the outer world to distract you from your intentions, you will discover that you, by virtue of your spiritual awareness, possess the ability to become the person you were destined to be. This book will help you See-with a capital S-that you are divine, and that you already possess an inner, invisible higher self that can and will guide you toward a mastery of the art of manifestation. You can attain this mastery through deliberate conscious control of your imagination! less

Electron microscopy revealed the presence of rigid, rod-like brushy glycoprotein (sugar-containing compounds) -- 30 billionths of a meter long -- similar to natural cell-surface proteins. Interaction between cells occurs when these rods stand up from the membranes, a property whose control remains poorly understood.
The surprise, Parthasarathy said, was that the sugar-laden rods stood up like trees rising in a forest only for particular fluorescent probes, which represented just 2 percent of the molecule's weight.
The big issue that surfaced from the project -- funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, National Science Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation -- was that the slightest trepidation of a molecule's structure affects its orientation, he said.
The goal, Parthasarathy said, may be to determine how to control the orientation of the brush-like forest through either chemical or optical measures to, in turn, control cell interaction. Such control of artificially produced molecules, he added, could have huge potential applications in the electronics industry.
Parthasarathy's UO team is now looking at DNA anchored to membranes to compare the findings and see if such on-off switching of the orientation of molecules may be possible.
"There are brush-like proteins at cell surfaces that are really important for such things as cellular interactions within the immune system," Parthasarathy said. "At the surface of every cell is a forest of molecules to induce interactions. These proteins need to rise from the forest. What allows them to stick up or lie down? We've really had a poor idea of what's going on. Knowing the genome and what proteins are there is crucially important, but that information in itself does not tell you anything about the answer to the question."

Location: earth...but when?...spock?
Re: Star Trek vs Aliens
thanks. yes i shouldve included Rand in there somewhere. maybe she shouldve been like Ripley and been the sole survivor
included some original series motifs in there to make it seem like a typical episode - e.g. red shirt death (every other episode), Spock and Bones being given the task of trying to solve the problem (as Kirk often put them both to work -
Operation Annihilate, Immunity Syndrome, Deadly Years
etc), Kirks ripped shirt (every other fight), Kirk putting ship on destruct (
Let The Be Your Last Battlefield, Star Trek III
), spocks vulcan physiology saving his life (
Operation Annihilate, The Apple
), kirk sacrificing himself at the end for his friends/ship (
Obsession, Doomsday Machine, Star Trek V
), Kirk going mano e mano with the main villain as the fate of his ship/crew hangs in the balance (
Court Martial, Arena, Space Seed, Star Trek III,
etc), kirk in a spacesuit running out of air getting saved by spock (
Tholian Web
), dealing with problem on planets surface/destroying vessel on planet (
Operation Annihilate/Alternative Factor
), kirk spock bones pontificating/moralising on the bridge at the epilogue (every other ep)
also putting in the typical
motifs and plot devices - the plot would be similar to
Alien/Aliens (& First Contact
- which was basically Star Treks version of
). Obviously the way the xeno gets aboard is similar to
, the way it would create more would be like what was happening with Dallas and Brett in the
Alien Directors Cut
, Spock being captured Newt/Data style resulting in the end finale with the lead character going back to rescue and facing off against the Alien/alien queen and using the airlock to blast it out…and obviously the epilogue is a nod to Prometheus

In a pre-recorded video message (he was taking a well-earned vacation in Kenya), Collins confessed he was "greatly surprised and very honored and flattered" to receive Bio·IT World's most prestigious annual award. As a government employee, he felt he was "a somewhat unusual choice" for a publication more closely identified with the business community, but he said, "I think this is an indication of how we're all working together in this [genome] era."
Collins added modestly: "I think I am being recognized really as a symbol of the thousands of scientists who have worked together on the Human Genome Project to generate very large data sets of information that was immediately put into the public domain, so that all the smart computational biologists could start working on it and tell us what it all means."
Researchers now face a number of computational challenges in the wake of the genome sequence, Collins said, including the International HapMap Project to chart human DNA variation; the ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) program to characterize the function of defined stretches of the genome; and the new chemical genomics initiative to bring together biological space and chemical space.

Republican Remorse?
Hey, it's not Republican Senator Scott Brown's fault Obamacare passed.
While I was feeling optimistic after Brown won Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts, I knew he was pro-choice (though he says he opposes infanticide, known euphemistically as partial birth abortion), and that dampened my enthusiasm.
Regardless, I enjoyed reading stories about how worried Democrats were about passing the Obamacare bill, and I truly hoped Brown's election signaled the end of socialized medicine talk in Congress.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
From the Boston Herald's "Republicans feeling blue as Scott Brown win backfires":
"Brown's backers from the insurgent Tea Party movement want to know if they've been had.
"We start to wonder whether we helped a RINO (Republican in name only) get into office," said Tea Party activist Jeffrey McQueen, who traveled from Michigan to campaign for Brown in the final days of the Jan. 19 special election that rocked the nation.
"If it wasn't for the Tea Party movement, Scott Brown wouldn't have gotten that seat. We expect to see a true conservative in there."
In fact, Democrats now say Brown's election as the so-called "41st vote" to block Obama's health-care overhaul inspired them to seek procedural means to bypass GOP efforts to derail the bill.
"Scott Brown's election actually delivered health-care reform, because we didn't need the 60 votes to make it happen. He delivered a significant victory in that," Walsh said.
Hopes definitely were high after Brown's win, but optimism ebbs and flows. He's one more Republican in the Senate, and that's good enough for now. So gloat on, libs. I truly, sincerely, seriously hope November 2010 elections will be a blood bath. Violent imagery aside, what's your take?

The Big Squeeze: Juicing Hits Boston
Get fresh-pressed drinks from Mother Juice this month.
The Mother Juice team breaks down a few concoctions on their menu.┬ĀFrom left to right:
Boston on My Mind:┬ĀŌĆ£We recently discovered pomelos. So we threw that in there, and we added a kick of ginger to make it different than a plain fruit juice.ŌĆØ
Beet the Heat:┬ĀŌĆ£Beet juice is great, but can be a bit too heavy for people. The kick of jalape├▒o makes it more fun to drinkŌĆölike a virgin bloody maryŌĆÖs cousin.ŌĆØ
Emerald Queen:┬ĀŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs important to have a good ratio of your greens with something sweet. The orange made it less acidic-tasting and more smooth.ŌĆØ
Liquid Sunshine:┬ĀŌĆ£The pepper gives you a lot of nutrients and vitamins, and adding it cuts the sweetness of the pineapple a little bit.ŌĆØ
Ruby Beauty:┬ĀŌĆ£We wanted to do something different from your average ŌĆścarrot-apple-beetŌĆÖ blend. We were looking for something a bit more fruityŌĆölike dessert.ŌĆØ
Over the past year, Boston has been getting a vitamin boost, in the form of fresh-pressed juices. Juice opened in the Back Bay last spring, followed by MedfordŌĆÖs Nourish Your Soul and the North EndŌĆÖs E.t.c. Juicery, which plans to sell packaged drinks at the nearby Local Roots farmersŌĆÖ market. This month, the new Kickstarter-funded food truck Mother Juice hits the streets, offering natural nectars sourced from nearby farms.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre taking local, organic fruits and vegetables from around the state and putting it in your hands,ŌĆØ says Claire Schlemme, a cofounder of Mother Juice. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a cool way to connect local farmers with people in the city,ŌĆØ adds her business partner, Ellen Fitzgerald.
Not sure you can hold your wheatgrass? Luckily, juicing isnŌĆÖt just for yogis and health nuts anymore. Think of it as a simple, nutrient-rich alternative to the heavy foods that appear on so many restaurant menus.
Find Mother Juice at the Boston Public Library (Mondays and Wednesdays) and at the intersection of Milk and Kilby streets (Tuesdays).

While those numbers are decreasing in some urban areas around the nation, including in Connecticut, they remain higher than would be tolerated in more affluent communities. A focus on the numbers ignores the lives behind the statistics, including the families that love victims. Nor do numbers get to the root of the problems behind the violence. The Untold History Between the U.S. and Puerto Rico By Betsy Kaplan • Apr 9, 2015 vxla / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 49:16 The United States has a long and complex relationship with Puerto Rico that changes dramatically depending on who is telling the tale. Living With Autism Spectrum Disorder By Betsy Kaplan • Apr 7, 2015 Beth Wetherington / Creative Commons The CDC reports that about 1 in 68 American children has Autism Spectrum Disorder and that number has increased significantly over the last decade. But, it's hard to know if autism is really on the rise or if greater awareness and better diagnosis are bringing previously undetected cases under the umbrella. Smiling Will Get You Everywhere By Colin McEnroe & Betsy Kaplan • Mar 31, 2015 Andre Silva / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 49:16 On the series "NewsRadio," the character played by Phil Hartman once said, "Experience once taught me that behind every toothy grin lies a second row of teeth." Smiling is a universal way to show happiness. But not all smiles are happy. In reality, we smile less for happiness than for social reasons that have nothing to do with happiness. That said, few things are more ingratiating and calming as another person's genuinely warm smile. But, maybe it's because a genuine smile is such a great thing that we're always looking for the false one. Waking Up To The Morning Zoo By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 30, 2015 Steve Sobczuk / Flickr Creative Commons You're probably no stranger to the Morning Zoo if you were in your teens or twenties in the 1980's. Developed after the death of disco left Top 40 stations with a big hole to fill, the Morning Zoo revitalized early morning radio with a fast-paced improvisational style that for the first time broke down barriers between news and entertainment. What's In a Name? By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 26, 2015 Natalie Maynor / Creative Commons Author Michael Erard is interested in how and why we name things - especially non-human objects and animals - and how naming affects our perceptions and behaviors toward those objects. He spent a lot of time researching how different subcultures name things - including rock musicians, scientists and Maine lobstermen, because naming tells you a lot about what's going on in a particular culture. The Lore and Lure of Coney Island By Betsy Kaplan & John Dankosky • Mar 26, 2015 Bob Jagendorf / Flickr Creative Commons Everyone's heard of Coney Island -the Wonder Wheel, the side shows, the miles of sandy beach. Yet, most of us have never seen it except through the eyes of others, including artists and filmmakers who used it as a prism through which to shape their view. And, what they saw was a place with both lovers and con men, natural beauty and bawdy amusement, social inclusion and class boundaries. Coney Island is not an easy place for them to define, so they portrayed what they saw - but also what they wanted it to be. When Does a Medical Condition Become a Disease? By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 23, 2015 Ryan Welsgerber / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 49:14 Doctors have been treating the symptoms of their patients, often before they know the cause, for centuries. But as medicine has gained sophistication and precision, we've slowly demanded more of our doctors. We want them to treat us, but also to know what we have, and why we have it, and how to treat and cure it. Is It Time To Stop Tipping? By John Dankosky & Betsy Kaplan • Mar 23, 2015 Eric Heath / Creative Commons Americans have been tipping for good service for centuries. Tipping is so ingrained in our American story that we rarely question why we still do it, even though we leave an estimated $40 billion in tips every year. Some say tipping is a good thing because it gives a much-needed boost to lower-paying service jobs. Others wonder if tipping still serves its purpose - to reward good service. And, workers reliant on tips to pay their bills are sometimes tempted to discriminate against customers they think will be "bad" tippers. The Madness of the NCAA By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 17, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR It's that time of year again when productivity slides, sleep is lost and frustration runs high. No, there's not another financial crisis - just March Madness! Join our favorite bracket watching team of Julia Pistell and Bill Curry, as they share their top-secret strategies to pick the winning NCAA bracket, the logic of which stuns even seasoned sports reporter Mike Pesca. Connecticut Grown Tobacco By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 17, 2015 Lewis Hine (1874-1940) / Wikimedia Commons Listen Listening... / 48:22 Shade tobacco came to Connecticut in 1900 from the island of Sumatra, which was beginning to dominate the world of cigar wrappers. The leaf had a light color, delicate texture, and mild flavor that cigar lovers love. So it seemed like a good idea to grow it somewhere besides Sumatra and the artificial shade concept developed in Florida in the 1890s. Connecticut growers tried it on one-third of an acre in Windsor in 1900, and the result was so good that farmers, in an un-Yankee-ish burst of headlong passion, planted 50 acres in 1901. The industry grew like shade tobacco -- that is, fitfully -- and woven into its life were the stories of the latest set of immigrants willing to work in cheap and concentrated bursts. We tell you as many of their stories as we can. What's It Like to Be a Pediatrician in the Internet Age? By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 16, 2015 Eden, Janine and Jim / Creative Commons Sixty years ago, patients rarely questioned the authority of their doctors. Like the doctors portrayed on television, these older, wiser, and usually white male doctors would dispense sage advice to trusting parents desperate to make their children well in an age of polio and measles. A New Haven Nose: College Kids Behaving Badly By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 13, 2015 Rex Roof / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 49:30 Mark Oppenheimer hosts an All-Star New-Haven Nose Panel from New Haven. For as long as fraternities have acted poorly, adults have quietly tolerated and even gloried in it. Who can forget John Belushi and Animal House? Too often, parents and college administrators have excused the all-night parties, destruction of property, and drunken brawls as the rude, yet benign acts of those on the brink of entering adulthood, the last gasp of carefree youth. Bring Back the Beaver By Colin McEnroe & Betsy Kaplan • Mar 11, 2015 Finchlake 2000 / Creative Commons Today, we take a deeper look at the beaver. Beavers are sophisticated eco-engineers, one of few animals capable of broadening biodiversity and currently considered of the keys to reversing climate change. They build sophisticated dams and deep-water ponds that stem erosion of riverbanks, create cooler deep-water pools that support temperature-sensitive plant and fish species, and increase the water table, a big deal for Western states suffering the impact of worsening drought. What Will We Name It: The (Gulp) Hartford River Hogs? By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 4, 2015 Marle Hale / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 49:15 On Wednesday we find out the finalists for Hartford's new minor league baseball team. Will it be the Hartford Blue Frogs? How about the Hartford Honey Badgers? Do you like the Hartford Yard Goats better? I got it! How about the Hartford Huckleberries! What do you mean it's not on the list? This hour, lots of people call and tweet with their favorites. Take a listen. The Scramble: Our Past, Police, and Progressives By Betsy Kaplan • Mar 2, 2015 Sh4rp_i / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 49:16 Arthur Chu argues that Andrew Jackson is the worst president we've ever had, and his face should be removed from the $20 bill. For starters, Andrew Jackson removed about 46,000 Native Americans from their established homelands to make way for White settlement leaving a "Trail of Tears" of starvation, disease, and death. That's just the beginning of a long line of horrors: he annexed Florida, executed militia members after the War of 1812, and dismantled the central bank to push wildcat banks. Maybe America has never been a paragon of the ideals we hold dear, and maybe America would rather forget our past than deal with it. Maybe It's Time to Change Who We Put in Prison By Betsy Kaplan • Feb 27, 2015 Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 48:46 We incarcerate more people in this country than any other country in the world, a shift that started over 30 years ago with punitive sentencing policies that disproportionately targeted non-violent, mostly black, drug offenders caught in President Reagan's war on drugs. Now, decades later, we're dealing with the fallout. The costs of incarceration are high. Sure, the economic cost is astronomical, about $52 billion dollars in 2011, but the human cost is staggering. The Lore and Lure of Coney Island By Betsy Kaplan & John Dankosky • Feb 24, 2015 Bob Jagendorf / Creative Commons Everyone's heard of Coney Island -the Wonder Wheel, the side shows, the miles of sandy beach. Yet, most of us have never seen it except through the eyes of others, including artists and filmmakers who used it as a prism through which to shape their view. And, what they saw was a place with both lovers and con men, natural beauty and bawdy amusement, social inclusion and class boundaries. Coney Island is not an easy place for them to define, so they portrayed what they saw - but also what they wanted it to be. Should We Throw More CEOs in Jail? By John Dankosky & Betsy Kaplan • Feb 13, 2015 Ethan Stock / Creative Commons In a perfect world, we wouldn't worry whether our food and working conditions were safe, or whether government regulators were keeping track of these things for us -- but we don't live in a perfect world. In fact, there's a sense that if you run a big company, and you're responsible for something really bad happening, that you'll probably skate away with a slap on the wrist while somebody else has to live with the damage done. Exploring What It Means To Be Jewish By Colin McEnroe & Betsy Kaplan • Feb 12, 2015 Lawrie Cate / Creative Commons Jews make up 2.2% of the population although it fluctuates depending on who gets counted. The U.S. Jewish population is roughly the same size, north of 6 million, as the Jewish population of Israel. And, since there are about 14 million Jews in the whole world, an astonishingly high percentage of them live in those two countries. The Science Behind Vaccines By Betsy Kaplan & John Dankosky • Feb 10, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR Do you know anyone who's ever had measles, mumps, or rubella? Those diseases have essentially been wiped out in the U.S. because of effective and widespread adoption of vaccines. But that might be changing. Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that last year, there were more than 600 measles cases in the U.S., and that was more than there have been for a long time. "This year, there were 100 in January alone," he said. Supporting Survivors of Cancer By Betsy Kaplan • Feb 3, 2015 LIz West / Creative Commons More than a million people get cancer every year in the United States, with about 22,000 new cases in Connecticut in 2014. But, thanks to better detection and more advanced treatment, the number of people surviving cancer is growing rapidly. There are 13 million survivors alive today. So, most of us likely know someone with cancer...a neighbor, a friend, or more often, a member of our family. The American Cancer Society says that three-out-of-four families have at least one person in their family who has survived cancer...and that number is rising every year. Do You Really Know What Your Teen Is Thinking? By Betsy Kaplan • Jan 30, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR It's not easy being a teenager today. Teens need to do well in school, give back to the community, participate in extracurricular activities, and keep up with a social scene intensified by social media. We also ask them to act responsibly, make good choices, and think about their future. We're looking for "adult behavior" from people forced to live under our rules. It's a tough balancing act that comes with a lot of pressure. Sometimes, their friends are looking for something different and peer pressure can lead to bad decisions and risky behaviors. It may not sound like they have to deal with much -- but that's part of the problem. Adults have a tendency to underestimate what teens feel, and how powerfully they feel it. And if kids have friends, don't get in trouble, and get pretty good grades, parents and teachers don't always notice the kids struggling to cope with emotions hidden beneath the surface. The World Health Organization says depression is the most common cause of illness and disability for teens between 10 and 19 years old and suicide is the third most common cause of death in adolescents...just behind traffic accidents. Dementia On the Rise: It's Time to Deal With It By Betsy Kaplan • Jan 26, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR The Alzheimer's Association says about five million people in the United States have some form of dementia. They expect that number to increase dramatically as baby boomers age and more people live longer. By 2050, we can expect that number to rise to about a million new diagnoses every year. Unless things change, many of us will end up in nursing homes. The WNPR Voicemail Project: Teens On the Edge By Betsy Kaplan • Jan 23, 2015 chiesADIbeinasco / Creative Commons WNPR has an experimental radio project and we want you to get involved. The idea is simple: we provide a theme; you call our hotline and tell a story. The theme: What's so hard about being a teen? On Friday, January 30, WNPR's Where We Live will talk about the challenges of being a teenager. If We Torture, What Makes Us Different From Those We Condemn? By John Dankosky & Betsy Kaplan • Jan 16, 2015 Val Kerry / Creative Commons Last month, the Senate Intelligence Committee Report released their report examining the CIA's use of enhanced interrogation after 9/11. They found that the CIA was using harsher forms of torture that yielded less useful information than we were led to believe. California Senator Dianne Feinstein, Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee said, "Detainees were subjected to the most aggressive techniques immediately. They were stripped naked, diapered, physically struck, and put in various painful stress positions for long periods of time." The Price of Oil and Gas Is Dropping Like a Rock By John Dankosky, Betsy Kaplan & Lydia Brown • Jan 12, 2015 Noel Hendrickson/Digital Vision / Thinkstock The price of gas was nearly $4.00 per gallon two years ago. Economists worried the rate would continue to rise, causing financial hardship on those with an already lean budget. What if it went to $5.00 a gallon? Well, those days are long gone. Gas in Connecticut is around $2.50 a gallon and it's much cheaper elsewhere in the country. But the higher rate also made people drive less and conserve more, and pushed higher fuel efficiency standards through Congress, nearly doubling the average fuel economy of new cars and trucks by 2025. How Important Is Civility To Protest? By Betsy Kaplan • Jan 4, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR The success of a society depends - at least in part - on the civility of its members. Mutual respect, openness to different viewpoints...civil conversation is what we try to promote here on our show. Supporting Survivors of Cancer By Betsy Kaplan • Dec 5, 2014 Chion Wolf More than a million people get cancer every year in the United States, with about 22,000 new cases in Connecticut in 2014. But, thanks to better detection and more advanced treatment, the number of people surviving cancer is growing rapidly. There are 13 million survivors alive today. So, most of us likely know someone with cancer...a neighbor, a friend, or more often, a member of our family. The American Cancer Society says that three-out-of-four families have at least one person in their family who has survived cancer...and that number is rising every year. Would You Survive a Life-Threatening Disaster? By Colin McEnroe & Betsy Kaplan • Nov 26, 2014 Josh Glovo / Creative Commons John Aldridge, a 45-year old lobster fisherman from Long Island, flew off the back of his boat when a plastic handle supporting a box hook snapped with the power of his pull. He grabbed at the side of the boat, missing it by inches before landing in the water at 3:30 am, alone and stunned, as the boat sped away with his partner sleeping in his cabin. They were 40 miles off the coast of Montauk, Long Island. First, yelling, then panic, then silence before he allowed himself to think he was going to die.

Although the death toll is relatively low for people who suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI), it can have severe, life-long consequences for brain function. TBI can impair a patient's mental abilities, impact memory and behavior, and lead to dramatic personality changes. And long-term medical treatment carries a high economic cost.
Now, in research commissioned by the United States Air Force, Prof. Chaim Pick of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine and Dr. Nigel Greig of the National Institute of Aging in the US have discovered that Exendin-4, an FDA-approved diabetes drug, significantly minimizes damage in TBI animal models when administered shortly after the initial incident. Originally designed to control sugar levels in the body, the drug has recently been found effective in protecting neurons in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Prof. Pick's collaborators include his TAU colleagues Dr. Vardit Rubovitch, Lital Rachmany-Raber, and Prof. Shaul Schreiber, and Dr. David Tweedie of the National Institute of Aging in the US. Detailed in the journal Experimental Neurology, this breakthrough is the first step towards developing a cocktail of medications to prevent as much brain damage as possible following injury.
Diabetes medication to halt trauma
Prof. Pick has been researching TBI for many years, beginning with the effects of everyday injuries such as hitting the windshield in a car accident. As a result of his work for the Air Force, he has expanded his research to include trauma sustained when a person is exposed to an explosion, such as during a terrorist attack.
TBI causes long-term damage by changing the chemistry of the brain. During an explosion, increased pressure followed by an intense vacuum shakes the fluid inside the brain and damages the brain's structure. This damage cannot be reversed, but mapping the injury through behavioral and physical tests is crucial to unders

When are you planning on having another?
Melissa + Tyler = Braelynn (12/21/11) & Alivia (05/19/13)
Canadian Spell Check Spice
Hungry? Alpacapicnic!
We had this LO 3 months after ODS turned 2. (So I got pregnant when he was 1.5) I think this was a great time for us b/c ODS had been sleeping through the night for about a year (I really need my sleep when preggo!) and he was a little self sufficient. He could play toys by himself, enjoy a tv show all the way through, feed himself and walk so I didn't have to carry him. He could also go up and down stairs on his own, which was a big plus! And he could help me with little things, like getting the diaper or wipes. But, they are now 1 & 3 and have a great time playing together! They enjoy a lot of the same things and do gentle wrestling on the floor. It is so much fun! I have thought about having one more, but I really want to wait and enjoy these guys for a while. They are so much fun, but 2 definetly takes up more time & attention than just 1! Im afraid if I have another in a year or so, YDS will sort of miss out on a lot of mommy time that ODS enjoyed. I think maybe when ODS starts school we might decide to try for 3. But, anything can happen between now & then, & if it did, I would not be sorry, just tired!

Also, I still think I might like to have a third, but I'm getting old, so we'd better get moving.

I'm trying to upload a database, which I developed locally, into our development server.
I installed PostgreSQL 9.1 on my machine and the development server uses 8.4.
When trying to restore the database to 8.4 using the dump file created by 9.1 I get the error:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: syntax error at or near "EXTENSION"
LINE 1: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS plpgsql WITH SCHEMA pg_catalo...
and a quick research tells me that "EXTENSION" doesn't exist prior to 9.1.
I'm not really sure I should look for an option in pg_dump that ignores "extensions" as the database I'm trying to upload relies on the PostGIS extension for most of data.
While upgrading the development server and installing PostGIS in the dev server is an option, I'd like to know of a different route, one wherein I do not need to edit anything on the server while maintaining the functions of the database I developed.
Of course other workarounds are welcomed, my sole aim in uploading my database to the server is to reduce the amount of reconfiguration I have to do on my project whenever I need to deploy something for our team.

Starfucker / Butterfly Bones
Rickshaw Stop; San Francisco, CA
The Rickshaw Stop used to host an 18+ dance party called "Blow Up" every Friday night. I went a few times in high school, and by the last time I felt dirty for going — the crowd was an awful mixture of 15 year olds with fake IDs, wannabe American Apparel models, creepy mid-twenties guys who had come to grind on the 15 year olds, and an endless sea of amateur "party photographers" firing flashes onto the whole sweaty mess. The Rickshaw Stop had to shut it down last year — more than 500 people were showing up to cram into a 200-capacity venue.
It seemed about half the crowd at this show consisted of people who hadn't gotten the memo that "Blow Up" wasn't happening anymore, and Butterfly Bones sounded like they could have been played at Blow Up. Their music is catchy and danceable, but after half an hour of the same predictable breaks we heard all over MSTRKRFT remixes in 2006, I got the queasy feeling that I was back in high school, trying to dodge drunk guys' attempts to grope me. To BB's credit, electro-pop is pretty hard to get right, but their version didn't bring any new ideas.
Starfucker (who, thankfully, are back to that name and not Pyramiddd), however, do have great ideas regarding electro-pop. They use guitars and synths equally and for interesting effects, and their songs sound like songs rather than an endless, unchanging pulse. They also know to take a break, and some of the best parts of the night were mid-tempo tracks from their newer material. They still wear dresses when they perform and they still got the room dancing so hard that sweat dripped off the ceiling, but they back up the antics and the beats with solid pop music. Electronics augment, but don't define, Starfucker's music, which is an important nuance to notice when you can still dance to something. I hope the "Blow Up" transplants appreciated it, too.
Silver Apples / Burning Star Core / Love Like Deloreans
Coco's 66; Brooklyn, NY
Silver Apples played two shows in New York last week, and while the second — at the modest but well-equipped Coco's 66 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn — may not have been able to boast the indie-scene cred of Oneida, the visual power of the Joshua Light Show, or the art scene cachet of the Abrons Art Center that the first had going for it, it did have good DJs playing in between sets, an impressive bill, and even some visual fireworks.
In the case of Brooklyn retro-techno trio Love Like Deloreans, who opened the show with a set of masterful Yellow Magic Orchestra-style synth jams, the band bounced around gamely behind their keyboards and provided a more interesting stage show themselves than many groups of their ilk do. But it was the projections, created by artist Jon Williams, played over the band that were most visually stimulating. While the forward progress of the songs was never in doubt, the projections played with the momentum of the set by variously interlocking and disengaging with the band's rhythms.
Burning Star Core followed, turning in an astoundingly varied performance by way of six "parts" (for lack of a better word). The first part featured building violin loops, followed by a sparser movement of discordant riffs over a minimal drone, a quadrant featuring sampled vocalizations, a frighteningly intense noise section along the lines of Wolf Eyes's "Dead Hills II," and a finale during which lone member C. Spencer Yeh layed long violin double-stops over what could've been an ESG sample. Between the impressive volume, the often-harsh visual element — which ran from almost complete darkness to strange, diffuse, and disorienting floodlighting, to wild strobe flashes — and the stylistic shifts in the music, it was the sort of set that inspires strong opinions in all but the most indifferent. I, for one, thought it was amazing.
And with that, Silver Apples' Simeon Coxe III took his place behind his oscillators and other assorted electronics and the main event was on. While some members of the crowd may have been surprised to see only Coxe up there, under a floppy hat, if he had internalized any particular expectations about what a Silver Applies performance was supposed to be, he wasn't letting on. He quipped early on that he would be "playing old stuff, playing new stuff, and having some fun," and while this was a simple plan, he followed it to the letter. Coxe's voice, only mildly aged from the one you hear on Contact, carried each song to a new place. And, if somewhat lacking in the propulsive, paranoid character found in their original recordings, the current live incarnations of Silver Apples' older songs have gained a weathered quality that allows them to reveal their history while also relieving them of the burden of imitating the 1960s versions of themselves.
This could explain why, while "A Pox On You" and "Oscillations" received a warmer welcome from the audience than some, Coxe was able to give every song its due and equal place in the set. Newer, spacier, more minimal numbers suited his sparse, acoustic-instruments-less setup and fit in perfectly with their environment. Oddly enough, for a show featuring a band reduced to one member, reformed to great acclaim 15 years prior following 25 years of silence, playing a small, recently established club in a generally neglected corner of an outer borough on a Sunday night, the whole thing seemed natural. The highest pleasure the show provided was that of witnessing a relaxed, seemingly happy performer with nothing to prove playing for the love of the game.
Jozef van Wissem
Morden Tower; Newcastle, UK
Last time things got cosmic at Newcastle's Morden Tower, it was with Californians James Ferraro and Spencer Clark, whose strip-mall explorations were of a different mind than tonight's more string-based (or, to be precise, "minimalist") show. Mythos comes pretty easy for this place; it's a small circular room in a stone tower set into a roman brick wall (that actually now backs onto Chinatown, whose restaurants spray a pretty steady steam of grease onto the cobbled stones). Not sure if the rats (outside) aided an "authentic baroque/medieval" experience, which Van Wissem's lute seems to emulate in a modern setting (or throws back to in order to find new poignancy).
Sometimes found wearing medieval robes, this Brooklyn by way of Netherlands soloist was tonight in jeans and a flannel shirt, which served even more the dichotomy of new and old means: distant car alarms slipping in between the lengthy rests that marked the beginnings of a certainly stripped-back set, a slow couple of notes then a pause (repeated over 4-5 minutes) that would've perhaps seemed particularly drawn out to fans of local support Richard Dawson, whose more song-based finger picks (and vocals) came off actually tearjerkingly humble, like some Northeast English Basho or Rose.
Van Wissem's set, though, eased the semi-circular room into a distinct and subtle lull, zoning out with swiped classical tidbits, deconstructing an obscure set of musical histories into songs of varied rhythm, usually preferring the more plodding sorts that sometimes confounded but summoned weirdly lunar and timeless slips of consciousness. Whatever varied songform he decided, the results were quietly subversive.
Broken Social Scene / Julie Doiron
The Fillmore; San Francisco, CA
The Fillmore has a bit of a resemblance to another venue, the defunct Avalon Ballroom in Boston, right across the street from Fenway Park. The comparison here is relevant to tonight's Broken Social Scene show: The first time this writer saw them, it was on a whim 5 years ago at the latter venue, in support of the self-titled album. Back then, Feist opened for them, long before The Reminder, and a man with a perpetual black turtleneck sent her down a separate transcendent path. The show was the stuff of legends. Admittedly, such a show is unlikely to happen again outside of the Greater Toronto area, so expectations have to be blunted, even for a new album and a tour.
Canadian Julie Doiron opened, and though she has an uncanny vocal and physical resemblance to the opener of a half-decade prior, that's where the comparisons end. On stage, it feels more like The White Stripes in their early years in Detroit, only with the roles switched (though that might be a bit harsh for drummer William, who is actually good at both drums and guitar). Julie herself acted incredibly hokey and chummy at times. Worse though were the couple of songs where dissonance was employed, as well as one song where her singing rhythm sounded incredibly awkward. For a folk artist who has collaborated with the likes of Mt. Eerie and Okkervil River, she was exceptionally mediocre.
There is a lot of virtual-water-cooler (where the water is cleanest) talk about Broken Social Scene's Forgiveness Rock Record around here, to the effect that this album lacks something pivotal. This writer suspects a single culprit, but will not elaborate for the sake of wanting to live in said culprit's home city again one day. That said, whatever qualms fans may have for Forgiveness Rock Record can be put to rest: Live, these new songs really do sound like Broken Social Scene songs. Opener (and opening track) "World Sick" sounded much more natural and wet than the recording, as did fiery number "Texaco Bitches" and lead single "Forced to Love." Lisa Lobsinger, recruited during the self-titled's recording partly as a means to replace the eventually departed Millan-Feist-Haines trifecta, finally came into her own, captivating the crowd with "Sentimental X's."
"Lobbie" also performed exceptionally well with "All is All" and the legendary "Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old." For all the 2-hour set could cover though, the band only glanced briefly at the "BSS Presents" series, playing only "F-cked Up Kid" and "Been at It a Long Time," the latter of which went into a jammy headspace. The band obviously enjoyed themselves and went at the set with the ferocity they always have. Even co-frontman Brendan Canning, sick with flu, pushed like he could run the Boston Marathon. That the band played 2 hours straight, with only a brief 3-minute break, is a testament to that. While it may be another couple years before we witness epic glory again outside Toronto, Broken Social Scene remain the incredible living force they were years ago on stage.

High Places / Mi Ami
Rickshaw Stop; San Francisco, CA
This show was so easy to space out at, in a good way. Two bands that play noisy music doing it pretty well makes for a satisfying night.
I saw Mi Ami open for HEALTH a while ago, and they've definitely honed their live act. By "honed" I don't mean "polished" as much as "there is a much more noticeable dissonance between their instrumentation and their vocals." Their music by itself is hypnotic, complicated and nicely jam-heavy. With Daniel Martin-McCormick's vocals, though, it got sort of crazy. He just doesn't look like he can make the kind of noises he squeals into a microphone jammed halfway into his mouth. But it's not insincere, and it works. Mi Ami are not for the faint of heart.
High Places are, though, definitely. They're warm and fuzzy and full of droning noise sure to envelop anyone in spacey bliss. Unfortunately many of their strongest moments – intricate instrumentation and sampling or complex vocals – get lost in the dense, overpowering guitar washout present in their live set. A rare moment of clarity came on "On a Hill in a Bed on a Road in a House," from their latest record High Places vs. Mankind, as both their vocalists joined to sing a repeating string of words that guided the whole song beautifully. I think they sound better in the studio, where they can take the time to layer components of their music to the best effect.
The Clean
The Bell House; Brooklyn, NY
Thirty-two years since they formed in Dunedin, New Zealand, The Clean still seem like just another band — and that's meant in the most complimentary of ways. Following sets from Brooklyn's Coasting and fellow Kiwi group Dimmer, the band nonchalantly took the stage at the Bell House, picked up their instruments and leaned into a set of tunes spanning their three decades of existence.
That the group can do this is a testament to their timelessness. When the Pixies reunited in 2004, they dusted off a repertoire of late eighties/early nineties material. When Pavement reconvened this year, they summoned up a discography that, as amazing as it is, will always bear a "Made in the Nineties" stamp. The Clean … well, they're not beholden to any of the decades in which they've dipped their feet, and 2010 is no exception. The band's set moved seamlessly from tunes like 1982's "Beatnik" to "In The Dream Life U Need A Rubber Soul," from last year's Mister Pop.
All three members of Yo La Tengo were in the Bell House audience, a fact that inspires a comparison between the two stalwart trios. If there's any American band that most resembles The Clean in sonic approach and career arc, it's Yo La Tengo. But while the latter has built that arc with an LP every few years and fairly regular touring, The Clean's equation is a little sparser, calling for a couple of albums per decade and a smattering of live dates whenever they find the time.
The band didn't play their most well-known "hit," their debut single "Tally Ho," but it didn't matter. In an era that runs artists through the hype cycle at a breakneck pace and systematically cashes in on our fond memories of tunes from another time, it's refreshing to see The Clean still jangling along, impervious to it all.
Ariel Pink
Mercury Lounge; New York, NY
Ariel Pink's show at Mercury Lounge this past Tuesday was many things. It was largely a press preview — a one-off date for the music media to catch Pink's Haunted Graffiti before the band embarks on European and US tours this summer. It was an unveiling of tunes from Pink's forthcoming album, Before Today, his most polished release to date and his first for British label 4AD. It paired Pink with his musical mentor, the prolific, long-time home recording artist R. Stevie Moore. It also turned into a gathering of numerous musicians who have drawn from the reverb-hazed, tape-hissing sonic well that Pink has been tapping since the early 2000s (members of Real Estate, Vivian Girls, Telepathe and Neon Indian were all in attendance).
Under these conditions, the gig felt like a test for Pink. Would he and his latest Haunted Graffiti lineup — which features LA scene vets Aaron Sperske (Lilys, Beachwood Sparks) and Chris Cohen (Cryptacize, Deerhoof) — take their live show into the dressed-up, slicked-down realm of Before Today? Would they win the approval of the bloggers and critics? What might R. Stevie say of Pink's new approach, which abandons his lo-fi past for time in a proper LA studio? What would his peers think?
All of these questions hung in the thick, muggy air of Mercury Lounge, but when Pink finally took the stage, all he had to stay was, "It's hot in here." That dismissive, visceral focus carried through the entire night, with Pink pouring out sweat as profusely as his band poured out solid renditions of songs both old and new. The set began with two tunes from 2004's The Doldrums, "Strange Fires" and "Don't Think Twice (Love)," then "Flying Circles," from 2006's House Arrest, before turning to new material. "Bright Lit Blues Skies" and "Butt-House Blondes," both Before Today tracks, and "For Kate I Wait," another Doldrums tune, stood out as highlights, but the whole show was infused with a vitality and propulsion that has been absent from Pink's work… er, before today.
When introducing "Round and Round," Before Today's much-touted lead single, Pink remarked that the band didn't have the San Jose Choir on hand to accompany them and subsequently cut short the tune's final triumphant chorus, in which he sings, "We'll dazzle them all." It seemed to be an acknowledgement that, though he's no longer hunched over a 4-track mumbling out his songs, Pink still has room for growth before he can truly dazzle everyone.
The Almighty Defenders
Great American Music Hall; San Francisco, CA
The Almighty Defenders put on, hands-down, the craziest show I have ever been to. I apologize in advance for not being able to find pictures from this night, because it was obscene and messy and totally great. I don't know where to start, so I guess the church robe-clad band is a good place. They strode out onstage, solemn, as King Khan demanded that we the audience give ourselves to Jesus, praise the Lord, and testify as sinners. Much (I suspect "ironic") hand-quivering in the audience ensued as the band tore through the first few songs on their self-titled album. It felt like church intended for atheists, serious but totally sacrilegious.
This whole show, band and audience, was thoroughly alcohol-soaked and wonderfully sloppy to match. The band passed around a fifth of Jameson throughout the set. They played their guitars in weird ways and mimed various sex acts with each other. Mark Sultan (BBQ) dedicated a cover of Elvis's "He Touched Me" to the Pope. And about 30 minutes in, dear readers, the night became downright bizarre. My friend and I had to keep grabbing each other and making "IS THIS SHIT REALLY HAPPENING" faces:
• The Black Lips' Jared Swilley read out of a Bible with the fervor of a Pentecostal preacher, then collapsed on the floor while still testifying and writhing around
• Mark Sultan found someone's credit card on the stage and broke it in half in his mouth
• King Khan stripped off everything but his shoes and ate it stagediving, after which he passed out on the dancefloor for about a minute and a half (concussion suspected). When he got back onstage someone in the front row touched his dick and got a kick square in the jaw in return.
• Cole Alexander, also of the Black Lips, pulled down his pants, played his guitar with his dick, and then peed on King Khan, who subsequently took a pull on the bottle of Jameson the band had been passing around and then spat the pee/whiskey combo out onto the audience.
And for the finale, a bleeding-from-the-mouth King Khan stuck his microphone up his butt. I feel really bad for whoever had to clean up after this show, and it turns out the venue wasn't too pleased about it. From GAMH's Facebook page:
Last night (April 20) an incident occurred at the end of the set involving inappropriate and uncondoned behavior by two of the artists performing. To those in the audience, please accept our apologies. We will continue to strive to provide an environment and music that is appropriate for all ages.
I don't blame them for having to cover their asses, but I'm thoroughly grateful this show happened, and that I was at it, and that I walked away covered in beer and spit and feeling the Holy Spirit raging in my blood. Amen.
Charlotte Gainsbourg / Jogger / AM
Palace of Fine Arts; San Francisco, CA
When coming to the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco for the first time, one suspects the giant pavilion/gazebo that sticks out as far away as Russian Hill on the eastern side of the city is the actual venue. The size of the structure alone suggests an outdoor amphitheatre seating a large number of people. It would certainly create a magical element in certain scenarios, especially in the case of chanson heir Charlotte Gainsbourg's first tour. Alas, the place is simply an indoor theatre, which is a bit of a letdown, despite its impressive acoustics and rocking-chair seats.
Opener AM is surprisingly prolific in touring with big names: He had only appeared a few weeks prior in Oakland opening for AIR, and recently opened for Caetano Veloso in LA. His music could fit with either: After ekeing out the first few numbers flatly, he pulled out an eerie, bossa nova-esque number that was mellow enough to set a consistent and solid mood for the rest of the set. He was a small man on a big stage, but once he settled, he reached out to the audience well. The lone exception was closer "Self-Preservation," a break from the mood that sounded more like Interpol than Jorge Ben. If he just sticks with the mellow, he'll be going places.
Supporting act Jogger, on the other hand, threw consistency out the window and beat it with a shovel once it got out of the building via hot-air balloon. The duo, from L.A., tend to take a sample and just run with it, whether from Madonna or Generic Williamsburg-based Band #862. Sometimes they ran into brick walls like the Juggernaut in a tutu, going from dirges to electronica without paying attention. Incredibly, they even combined those two: "Nephicide" is the first time I've heard a band effectively combine bowels-of-your-lungs, black-metal vocals with techno. Even their on-stage antics were silly: Jonathan did everything in his power to rock out while behind his synths and samplers, while Amir veered between shoegazing guitar and singing into his violin. Make of that what you will.
Charlotte Gainsbourg is clearly on her first tour. In particular, her singing in "Greenwich Mean Time," from the recent album IRM, was completely off-key, making one wonder if it was intentional. But after that, she managed to sing much better, (barring a false start on one song) playing around with the crowd's momentum. She even channeled collaborator Jarvis Cocker in 5:55 number "AF607105," though she sounded more like Neil Tennant. Most significant, though, was that she got comfortable to not only sing her Bob Dylan cover "Just Like A Woman" in a sultry manner, but channel her legendary father with his classic "L'hotel particuler," from Histoire de Melody Nelson. She will definitely need more time to figure out her comfort zone live, but she can still captivate, and should make touring a habit.
Beach House
Bimbo's 365; San Francisco, CA
A Love Letter to Beach House From a Person Who Can't Write Love Letters
Dear Beach House,
I suspect the reason you lay ravish praise on San Francisco is obvious: Your music, on a scenic level, is much more appropriate for a city as hilly and surreal as the City by the Bay than it would be for a city as dirty and gritty as your hometown Baltimore (not that there's anything wrong with Baltimore). You fit perfectly into the city's landscape, be it a house show in a warehouse loft in SoMa, some cafe in Lower Haight (or bar on Upper Haight), or even the swanky Italian nightclub in North Beach that you happened to be playing at tonight. You are made for this city, and we love you for that.
You have a certain amount of bravery in carrying only one act before you at such a small venue, swank as it may be. While, arguably, your approach to music is unique and has very few imitators (which is what makes you so wonderful in the first place), for you to get on stage so early does offer the question of whether your set is that strong enough to hold the crowd from an early standpoint. That said, your friend Bachelorette was solid. The Kiwi, though still unused to to large crowds, put up a good show for it, songs like "Donkey" and "Do the Circuit" being particularly rousing numbers. It was a perfect warm-up for what was to come.
Admittedly, I was a bit apprehensive about your new album, not to mention how it would turn out live. It was a change in direction, something faster, more bombastic than anyone thought. Who can blame us? With that, I'm sorry for doubting you. I see the logic in your actions now: Live, these songs make sense. Their bombast and noise resonate perfectly with the crowd. They became a way for you to go nuts when you needed to. From opener "Silver Soul" on, you were energetic, even sitting down. You made slow-moving numbers that marked your first two albums, such as Devotion's "Gila" and the self-titled's "Master of None," feel bouncy. You also tapped into the crowd's emotions very well. People were shedding a tear during initial closer "Take Care," or getting pumped and motivated with set closer "10 Mile Stereo." More importantly though, you took it all in stride. When someone requested "Zebra," which you had just played, you felt flattered. As were we.
We know you love us and the city, as we do you. Why else would you, like you said, come to the city the day before your show? So allow us a proposition: Please move here! We cost a bit more than Baltimore, but we make up for it in loveliness. We'll take care of you, offer you excellent food such as cheap-yet-incredible burritos and vegan meals, as well as various collectives you cut your own niche in. And there's no snow, too. So, please move here. Pretty please?
