AbstractWhile conventional injection seeding sources (such as DFB diode lasers and rare-earth doped solid-state microchip lasers) are available at 1.5 microns, these sources typically lack the ultra-narrow (<50 kHz), ultra-stable output spectrum required for use in applications such as Doppler shift measurements of the tropospheric winds. Furthermore, similar sources which operate at 2.0 microns (a preferred wavelength for space-based atmospheric measurements) are simply unavailable. To fill this need, nLight proposes the parallel development of 1.5 and 2.0 micron injection seeding sources based on our well-established, wavelength-scalable, industry-leading InP semiconductor laser design.

Texaco Goes on Trial in Ecuador Pollution Case
By JUAN FORERO
Published: October 23, 2003
LAGO AGRIO, Ecuador, Oct. 22— When René Arévalo draws water from his well, it is brown and gummy, requiring him to run it through a makeshift filtering system outside his wood-plank home in the jungle outside this town.
Like thousands of other people here, he suspects the water was fouled by the waste an American oil company dumped across miles of Amazonia in its 20 years of operations. After all, he and his five children live across from a separation plant once operated by a Texaco affiliate, their house built on a mound of dirt that covered a pit where wastewater was dumped.
''If you dig here just a meter deep, you hit oil,'' Mr. Arévalo said, moments after probing into the dirt outside his house to show visitors the gooey slime. ''The water is contaminated, very contaminated. But we drink it. What else can we do?''
Now, about 30,000 people affected by the waste are hoping that a lawsuit, accusing ChevronTexaco of dumping 18.5 billion gallons of waste into open, unlined pits, will lead to a full-scale cleanup. This week, the California-based company, an energy giant created in 2001 when Chevron merged with Texaco, went on trial here in a case that, if successful for the plaintiffs, could establish a new way for American companies to be held accountable for environmental degradation in foreign countries.
That is because a United States Court of Appeals in New York ruled last year, after reviewing a lawsuit first filed in 1993, that the case should be heard in Ecuador. While American multinationals often prefer to have lawsuits handled in developing countries, where weak legal systems mean trials can languish, in this case the New York court said any final ruling and financial penalty imposed against ChevronTexaco would be enforceable in the United States.
''It's an important case,'' said Alejandro Garro, an expert in Latin American law at Columbia University in New York. ''Once the judgment becomes final in Ecuador, then the plaintiffs, whatever judgment they get, will go to the U.S. to enforce that judgment.''
ChevronTexaco, though, vigorously denies polluting, or dumping hazardous wastes. The company says it cannot be liable because it was the Texaco Petroleum Company, a fourth-tier subsidiary that operated here, that should have been sued. ChevronTexaco also says that the Ecuadorean government has absolved the company of liability.
The company does not deny having deposited the waste that came up through the oil drilling process. Company officials argue that depositing the watery sludge in open pits was, in its time, standard operating practice. Nevertheless, Texaco spent $40 million to cap more than 200 pits and build schools and medical centers, with the Ecuadorean government certifying the cleanup in 1998.
''We've said from the beginning that plaintiffs failed to have presented any credible, substantiated evidence to support their claim,'' said Maripat Sexton, a spokeswoman for the company in the United States. ''They've never proved there's been any damage caused by Texaco or Tex-Pet.''
Texaco, through the Texaco Petroleum Company, developed Ecuador's oil industry, helping this country become an important oil producer in Latin America, a region increasingly significant as an energy source for the United States.
After arriving here in the 1960's, the Texaco Petroleum Company drilled more than 300 wells and built a network of pipelines, separation plants and, the plaintiffs say, more than 600 pits to discard wastewater. Though in partnership with the state oil company, Texaco was the lead company in projects that produced 1.5 billion barrels of crude until 1992, when the company withdrew from the country.
But in its quest to produce oil and profits, lawyers for the plaintiffs say, the Texaco Petroleum Company systematically dumped oily waste. Another 16 million gallons of oil, the lawsuit contends, was spilled directly into the ground, rivers and estuaries, what lawyers for the plaintiffs say was 50 percent more than was spilled in the Exxon Valdez disaster.
''All of our land was destroyed and invaded, and what we got was oil camps and platforms and oil infrastructure,'' said Elías Piyahuaje, a leader of the tradition-bound Secoyas, an indigenous group of fewer than 400 people. ''Our rivers, which were once good, now are contaminated with oil.''
Though Ecuador had no environmental laws governing the disposal of waste -- a point Texaco lawyers have used to make their case -- the lawyers for the plaintiffs say the company ignored long-established practices of reinjecting waste back into wells. In the United States, most major oil companies have been reinjecting waste back into wells since at least the 1970's.
The plaintiffs said those wastes caused maladies ranging from rashes to deformities and cancer, mostly caused from polluted waste water, since the communities outside Lago Agrio depend on the same waterways for their drinking water. No comprehensive study of the region has been done, but surveys of some communities show what the plaintiffs contend are high incidences of cancer.

Back in 2006, when OutKast released the song "Morris Brown," most people were more worried about the status of Atlanta's favorite musical offspring than the financially strapped black college for which the song was named.
The Big Boi solo featured Sleepy Brown and Scar on vocals, but no Andre 3000, who produced the song. Despite a funky video with a purple dog and the introduction of Big Boi signee Janelle Monáe, the second single from OutKast's Idlewild project barely cracked the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 95, making it a harbinger of the film's impending box office doom. It also preceded a change to the group's dynamic that everyone could see coming but no one was eager to embrace.
But the song was still a cool come-up for Morris Brown College. With a hook that celebrated the tradition of black college bands, the track's musical backbone prominently featured Morris Brown's Marching Wolverines. It was almost enough to overshadow the PR hit the Atlanta college had taken earlier that year when former Morris Brown President Dolores Cross (1998-2002) pled guilty to embezzling government funds intended to cover student tuition just four years after the college lost its accreditation partly due to mounting debt.
In the decade since, things have only worsened. Enrollment has dwindled from 3,000 students to around 50 and debt has ballooned to more than $30 million. The only bright spot has been the use of the school grounds as an on-location shoot for films set on black college campuses, such as the locally produced Drumline (2002) and Stomp the Yard (2007).
Whatever Morris Brown's future may hold — now that the school is seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to stave off creditors and get its financial house in order — it's a small reminder that anything goes as long as you don't sell your soul.
The cameras on campus last Saturday belonged to local news outlets rather than filmmakers. The prayer service attended by hundreds of alumni, school administrators, and African Methodist Episcopal church officials was followed by a press conference on the yard at which Bishop Preston W. Williams, the newly appointed chairman of the board of trustees, announced the college's plan to restructure its debt in an attempt to keep one of the oldest historically black colleges in the country from being forced to close its doors and auction off its assets.
Like the rest of the schools that make up the Atlanta University Center, the history is priceless. In a sense, the founders of Morris Brown College were the original ATLiens as former slaves who, in 1881, founded the school in the basement of Big Bethel AME Church on Wheat Street. The buildings and grounds on the school's campus tell a similar story of Atlanta's rich black heritage: three nationally registered historic sites, including Fountain Hall, where NAACP co-founder W.E.B. Du Bois kept an office during his time as a professor at Atlanta University; and the historic Herndon Home, where Atlanta's first black millionaire, Alonzo Herndon, resided with his family in the early 1900s. The school also holds the honor as the first college in the South to have black Greek-letter fraternities and sororities. Like most HBCUs, Morris Brown thrived in an era when African-Americans were locked out of the mainstream. But the irony of integration — fought for by students that attended schools like Morris Brown — was that it lessened the necessity for HBCUs.
Although I didn't attend a historically black college, I was born at Tuskegee University where my parents resided in married student housing in the '70s. So I've always felt like a by-product of HBCUs and even felt that twinge of envy over the sense of cultural pride such schools instilled in friends and relatives who attended. More than the equal access to education, the real value in HBCUs has always seemed less tangible, kind of like the vibe displayed at that pajama party scene in Spike Lee's School Daze — another movie partially filmed on Morris Brown's campus.
So this new challenge could be a great opportunity for the school to recast its role. School officials have to determine whether or not the mission of providing education for underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students is a viable one at a time when state schools are doing it better and cheaper. Maybe there's a greater future in becoming a specialized institution, like a for-profit technology center, or even a premier digital filmmaking and art school that offsets costs by renting out space to Atlanta film productions.
If it were up to diehard OutKast fans, Big and Dre never would have charted new territory, either. Sure, they would've continued to make some good music, but it probably wouldn't have been as successful or as personally rewarding as their current solo endeavors. As much as people pretend to hate OutKast for breaking up, we'd truly hate Big and Dre if they'd tarnished their own legacy by not knowing when to quit, change, adapt, and transform.
There may be a minor lesson in there for the wealth of HBCUs across the country that are trying to survive at a time when African-Americans, while still challenged by a more subtle brand of inequality, face unprecedented levels of access to that all-American dream. Finding ways to adapt Morris Brown's 20th-century mission to help students face 21st-century challenges will only make it stronger. Because at the end of the day, even outcasts have to know when to come out of the rain.

Rebuilding the icon cache and restarting the computer does not seem to fix the problem, but it does cause which icons are messed up to randomly change; fixing some and messing up others.
I also attempted to increase my icon cache size, and it did not seem to do anything.

Hand on my heart, toes in the sand and face to the summer sun, Guerlain's Summer 2015 Collection threw me for a loop.
Mind you…it was a colorful, lovely loop, but still — a loop, nevertheless.
I'm more accustomed to seeing them summon golden goddesses for summertime, with baked bronzes, toasty tans and luscious corals, all of which, you know, I absolutely LOVE, but they took a different path to the sun this time down a boulevard of bronzed skin (of course), with accents of blue, hot pink and yellowy gold.
It's more color than I'm used to seeing from them this time of year, but I'm cool with that. I love wearing color, especially when it's handled elegantly like this.
The collection includes two bronzers, two lipsticks, two waterproof cream eye shadows (a first for the brand!) and a nail polish. All of them are limited edition and coming to Guerlain counters and online this May.
This being Guerlain, and with us talking about summer, it only seems right to start with a Terracotta bronzer. This year, the two My Terracotta Bronzing Powders in the release ($55 each) are wearing special outfits! The pans come with a — I'm not sure how to describe it — scuba suit?
A very fancy scuba suit…
Basically, the cover slips on and off the compacts like a rubbery, silicone sleeve. The sleeve for 02 Natural Blondes is turquoise, while the sleeve for 03 Natural Brunettes is coral.
The first thing I did when I opened 02 Natural Blondes was sniff the pan. LOL! You have to do it, man. Like Guerlain's other bronzers, these have their trademark tiare flower scent (which I love!).
Tiny flecks of shimmer wink at me when I see the pan sitting in the sun, but the shimmer doesn't really register on my skin. I'm fine with that, though, since my pores and I usually prefer matte bronzers to shimmers.
Even though the bronzer shown here in this post is 02 Natural Blondes, you don't have to be fair-haired to wear it. This deep, warm and toasty orange-bronze should suit a wide range of skin tones, depending on how it's worked. It's easy to blend and very pigmented, so the bronzed effect is noticeable immediately. You don't have to use much at all, and if you do, things will go orangey.
As for eyes, the new Summer Waterproof Cream Eye Shadows ($32 each, available in two shades — a shimmery beige called White Sand and a shimmery turquoise called Blue Ocean) are a first for the brand. Cream shadows with a fluffy mousse-like texture, you apply them directly to bare lids with the included doe-foot applicator. Wear them alone or as bases for powder shadows.

The object of this little work, according to the author, is to give the general practitioner as much information as possible with reference to diagnosis and the treatment of the most common diseases of the ear, nose and throat which he meets in his daily practice. The first section of the book is devoted to the ear, particularly the local medication both of the external auditory canal and of the middle ear. Various methods of examination are described; then follows a discussion of diseases of the external, middle and inner ear together with intracranial complications. A similar outline of topics is presented with reference to the nose, accessory sinuses, pharynx and larynx. The author presents the subjects in a systematic, concise and clear manner. He calls attention to practical situations, such as the danger of interference with nasal furuncles, and the care to be employed in regulating the temperature of

I gave up on dunking in the 9th grade. I was robbed genetically. Your what the fitness world likes to call a "Hardgainer" Im sure you've heard about it before. Its hard to gain solid mass especially for horizontally challenged folks such as yourself haha. My advice would be to eat about 1000-1500 more calories then you would normally. Your metabolism is super freakin fast so consider yourself lucky in that regard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

News We Are Rome
posted by April 8 at 8:51 AMon
From the front page of this morning's NYT:
Securing the nations borders is so important, Congress says, that Michael Chertoff, the homeland security secretary, must have the power to ignore any laws that stand in the way of building a border fence. Any laws at all.
Last week, Mr. Chertoff issued waivers suspending more than 30 laws he said could interfere with the expeditious construction of barriers in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. The list included laws protecting the environment, endangered species, migratory birds, the bald eagle, antiquities, farms, deserts, forests, Native American graves and religious freedom.
The secretary of homeland security was granted the power in 2005 to void any federal law that might interfere with fence building on the border. For good measure, Congress forbade the courts to second-guess the secretarys determinations. So long as Mr. Chertoff is willing to say it is necessary to void a given law, his word is final.
Hey, didn't we elect a new Congress in 2006? Can't that new CongressI believe it's a Democratic Congress nowdo something about this?

If consciousness is just the workings of neurons and synapses, how do we explain the phenomenon of near-death experience? By some accounts, about 3% of the U.S. population has had one: an out-of-body experience often characterized by remarkable visions and feelings of peace and joy, all while the physical body is close to death. To skeptics, there are more plausible, natural explanations, like oxygen deprivation. Is the prospect of an existence after death "real" and provable by science, or a construct of wishful thinking about our own mortality?

Neurosurgeon & Author, Proof of Heaven
Eben Alexander, M.D., is a renowned academic neurosurgeon. A transcendental near-death experience (NDE) during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection completely changed his understanding of how the brain worked. He has spent the years since his NDE reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. His book about the experience, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife (2012), has spent more than a year atop the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list and is contracted for publication in over forty countries. Alexander has taught at Harvard Medical School, and has authored or co-authored over 150 chapters and papers in peer-reviewed academic journals. A pioneering scientist and thought leader in consciousness studies, he has been a guest on Dr. Oz, Oprah, and many other national and international media programs.
Psychologist, Medical Doctor & Author, Life After Life
Raymond A. Moody, Jr., M.D., PH.D., is a psychologist and medical doctor. He is the best-selling and award-winning author of twelve books, including Life After Life (1975) in which he coined the term "near-death experience" (NDE), as well as numerous articles in academic and professional literature. His research into the phenomenon of NDE had its start in the 1960s, and the New York Times has since hailed him as "the father of the near-death experience." In the three decades since receiving his M.D., a PH.D. in philosophy, and a Ph.D. in psychology, he has lectured for audiences all over the world and has appeared on hundreds of television and radio programs. In addition, he trains hospice workers, clergy, psychologists, nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals on matters of grief recovery and dying.
Physicist & Writer
Sean Carroll is a physicist and author. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1993, and is now on the faculty at the California Institute of Technology. His research focuses on fundamental physics and cosmology, especially issues of dark matter, dark energy, and the origin of the universe. Carroll is the author of The Particle at the End of the Universe (2012), From Eternity to Here: The Quest for the Ultimate Theory of Time (2010), and Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity (2003). He has written for Scientific American, New Scientist, and The Wall Street Journal. He frequently consults for film and television, and has been featured on television shows such as The Colbert Report, PBS's Nova, and Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman.
Academic Neurologist, Yale School of Medicine
Steven Novella, M.D., is an academic clinical neurologist at Yale University School of Medicine. He is the founder and current executive editor of Science-Based Medicine, as well as the president and co-founder of the New England Skeptical Society. Novella is also the host and producer of the popular weekly science podcast The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, and the author of NeuroLogicaBlog, a daily blog that covers news and issues in neuroscience, but also general science, scientific skepticism, the philosophy of science, critical thinking, and the intersection of science with the media and society.
Bob Funkhouser's posting on Carl Sagan's quote shows the kind of impasse we are in when it comes to this type of debates: evidence is useless when confronted with irrational beliefs. Case in point: Carl Sagan clearly stated he does NOT believe the claim about past memories in children is valid, but Mr. Funkhouser's reading of Sagan's words is actually the opposite: he thinks Carl Sagan is saying there's "compelling" evidence for that claim. And then he goes on to question Dr. Novella's comprehension abilities. Oh well....
It does not follow logically to conclude that there must be life after death simply because we do not understand the mechanisms of the mind. Dr. Alexander's anecdotes are unverifiable and worthless with regard to this discussion, he could just as easily claim he were abducted by aliens and we'd have just as much evidence to judge such claims as we do for his claim of experiencing life after death.
Why should we believe Dr. Alexander's claim? There is absolutely no way to ever prove such a claim wrong because his only evidence is a personal experience that cannot be replicated, explained or verified. Even Dr. Alexander himself admits he cannot explain the experience using the tools of modern investigation, yet he can somehow assure us that this experience means life exists after death instead of, say, the result of a phenomenon produced by a yet undetected or misunderstood quality of the brain. The scientists in opposition may not be able to explain consciousness, but at least they're working within a framework that allows for axioms to be proven true or false based on what we can consistently demonstrate to others.
Further, it's a considerable leap to make claims about a reality we cannot detect with physical senses or tools, but it's simply intellectually egregious to suggest that this other realm of existence naturally fits into the mold of the traditional Christian afterlife. (e.g. heaven and hell).
I expected a higher standard of scrutiny from the IQ2 forum, but I'm glad that the discussion was at least civil.
The position defend by Sean Carroll and Steven Novella, namely that the mind is the same as the brain and vice-versa, is so absurd that those who are interested in a skeptic rebuttal to that proposition just need to watch Robert Burton's Google Talk ""A Skeptic's Guide to the Mind" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnu0vE2E4-M . What I mean by "skeptic" I mean that Richard Burton is a self declared skeptic and atheist. He is also a neurologist with a distinguished career.
Put in another way, in science, computer science in particular, the distinction between hardware (the brain) and software (the mind) is perfectly understood. No knowledgeable person accepts the argument that destroying a computer running software destroys the actual software that computer runs.
When you use a computer, you don't see the source code of the software it runs. It is perfectly possible to see the effect of that computer running software in the actions of trillions of transistors switching at gigantic speeds. It is equally possible to alter the behavior of a computer through basic hardware interventions (such as adding or limiting the computer's memory) or more sophisticated ones like shutting down specific chips that manage say sound or graphics.
This is not to say that at this point science has proved the existence of the soul, although I do believe that there is a soul and that there is life after death, what science has done though, through computers, is to disprove the notion that the experiments mentioned by those two constitute evidence that what the brain does, commands, etc (ie the mind) is the same thing as the brain itself.
Contrary to the strongly worded assertion made by the "against" side, neuroscience is far from proving that the brain is the source of the conscious mind. It has proved only that the conscious mind is mediated through the brain. It has not found any trace of an actual source. Tinkering with the brain certainly affects the mind, as demonstrated in the words and behaviour of the person. In the same way, tinkering with a TV set affects its performance, as demonstrated in sound and images that the set will produce. But I do not think any neuroscientist would claim that to be proof that the TV set is the source of the programme. If somebody spends their life, as many a neuroscientist does, studying only the function of the brain, then it will be easy for him to conclude, without real justification, that the brain is the only thing involved in producing consciousness.
This was a very interesting discussion of a very important question. As of today, there is no scientific proof to settle this question one way or another. That doesn't mean that such proof is impossible. Our technology has reached the level that may make such experiment possible right now. However, that would require commitment of significant resources. The main reason it has not been done so far is that there is no organization with sufficient funding to accomplish it. This experiment is not something an enthusiast can do in his/her garage.
This shouldn't even be a question in this day and age. It's time for humans to grow up and accept a non-magical universe.
Regarding a previous commenter's statement, "As for Eben Alexander, he was stunningly disingenuous when it came to the Carl Sagan quote..."
Actually, Alexander's claim, though an exaggeration, is closer to Sagan's words that Novella's flat-out dismissal of them.
Here's the relevant extract from The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan, page 302:
"At the time of this writing there are three claims in the ESP field which, in my opinion, deserve serious study: (1) that by thought alone humans can (barely) affect random number generation in computers; (2) that people under mild sensory deprivation can receive thoughts or images "projected" at them; and (3) that young children sometimes report the details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known about in any other way than reincarnation. I pick these claims not because I think they're like to be valid (I don't), but as examples of contentions that might be true. The last three have at least some, although still dubious, experimental support. Of course, I could be wrong."
Now Alexander's statement "Carl Sagan admitted that past life memories in children, the evidence for that is overwhelming" is clearly an exaggeration. If he had said "compelling" instead of "overwhelming", it would be closer to the real quote.
But Novella is also disingenuous, and imo dishonest, when he replies "I've read that book a hundred times. Carl Sagan did not believe in past lives. He did not believe in anything paranormal or supernatural. That is just not true."
Novella has read that book ONE HUNDRED times? Really? Okay, let's assume he has read it 100 times. Then I would question his comprehension abilities and/or his intellectual honesty since he flatly rejects the assertion that Sagan mentioned past life memories in children in a credible context. And Sagan did frame it as "deserving serious study."
Eben Alexander's claim about Carl Sagan admitting "overwhelming" evidence for past life memories in children was stated completely out of context and, when you read what Carl Sagan actually wrote, is downright FALSE. Here's the entire, unedited paragraph from Carl Sagan's book:
"At the time of writing there are three claims in the ESP field which, in my opinion,deserve serious study: (1) that by thought alone humans can (barely) affect random number generators in computers; (2) that people under mild sensory deprivation can receive thoughts or images `projected' at them; and (3) that young children sometimes report the details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known about in any other way than reincarnation. I pick these claims not because I think they're likely to be valid (I don't), but as examples of contentions that might be true. The last three have at least some, although still dubious, experimental support. Of course, I could be wrong."
As you can see, Carl Sagan clearly stated he did NOT believe those claims were valid, so Dr. Alexander use of Sagan's writing to support his theories is very dishonest.
The skeptics' views were based on theories, not facts.
Alexander and Moody were sharing cases that happened and verified through documentation by medical records, etc.
I am on the side of Alexander and Moody...why? For one thing, I myself have experienced something very similar to an NDE. There is new research coined by author Sarah Hinze known as Pre Birth Experience or PBE, where our consciousness, our soul or spirit existed before we were born into our present mortal physical world. I myself had such an experience when I was eight years old. I am now almost 56. The conscious memory, the expressions of indescribable joy, the experience of higher felt consciousness and super-enhanced brain capacity beyond my eight year old cognitive physical capacity, is still quite vivid after all these years and is clear evidence to me personally that I had a remarkable similar phenomenon such as an NDE. The other side claimed that a table is made up of particles of atoms, yet they admitted they don't completely fully understand what the atom physical makeup is beyond protons / neutrons (how is it that these finer substances exist? An atom is finer than the physical object it creates. Protons and neutrons are finer materials beyond the atom. Science has now began to discover that the physical world is made up of "light" particles. It is my opinion that LIGHT and Consciousness or in other words, the SPIRIT are one and the same. Albert Einstein gave us the theory of relativity, which is based on the speed of light. In our physical world we comprehend time. In our state, we understand a beginning and an end to all things, yet when it comes to infinity or eternal principles, this is beyond our physical experience. Einstein basically stated that if we could travel the speed of light, we would never die. TIME WOULD STAND STILL. We would essentially be immortal. I believe immortal beings appear to have a body of substance like a physical human form, yet they are made up of a FINER material or MATTER, just like an atom is made of matter, yet the proton and neutron composite of an atom is of a finer material substance than the atom itself. I am LDS (The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints), also known as Mormons. We believe our souls (or spirit matter or consciousness) existed before we were born. We believe this finer material which creates the consciousness of our Physical bodies are literal spirit children of God. Since my PBE, I certainly am convinced such is the case. Here is an interesting scripture as revealed by God to a great early spiritual of our faith...Doctrine and Covenants 84: 44-47
44 For you shall live by every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God.
45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
46 And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.
47 And every one that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit cometh unto God, even the Father.
We may not fully comprehend this debates question until after we part from this life into the spiritual realm. Here is another set of scripture found in our Doctrine and Covenants... D&C 93:28-30
28 He that keepeth his commandments receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things.
29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.
30 All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence.
Death is probably final. The 'experience' of death is probably identical to the state of being that conscious entities 'experience' before birth.
Some computerl 'experts' contest the proposition that life is a prerequisite to consciousness. Without concrete evidence to the contrary they're probably wrong.
'Probably' covers a lot of territory. Without concrete evidence to the contrary, the simplest explanation of life and consciousness is by far the most probable.
Since answers to questions about life and death can't be known with absolute certainty and fear and personal ego are major factors influencing people many people believe different concepts regarding death than the one that's most probable.
It was nice to see Dr.Eben Alexander in this debate, as I have much respect for him and his blessed experience. There was a point in the debate that caught my attention though and I wanted to comment on my experiences with this, it might shed some light into the topic. I experienced first hand the reality of ghosts.. Since this seems to be a puzzling thing for those that hold an exclusively materialistic worldview to explain away, especially when the witnesses are healthy normal unsuspecting people I thought it would be helpful if I chipped in my two scents. Im not a scientist, but I do believe that what I am about to write merits an explanation...
( I apologize for my long reply! )
For about more than a year I worked as a custodian during the night 9-12:00 a.m. at a beauty academy to earn some extra cash. During my time there, I could see the sudden tension in people as their closing hour came up. It came to my attention that a few decades before this building was used as a beauty academy it was an old theater, one that was closed down after an awful murder had taken place in the womens bathroom. Apparently a child had died there and a woman as well. It was all over the news back then.
You can imagine the chill running down spines as the kids attended their classes! Oh the stories were plentiful. The faculty had seen a woman in white clothing walking through the narrow half lit isles that led to lonely classrooms. Lights turning on and off suddenly, during classroom hours. Trashcan lids literally levitating during class meetings.. hearing a childs laughter in an empty academy as the faculty were getting ready to leave.
Find it shocking or not, but sometimes those brave souls worked longer shifts that went into the night. Sometimes they would be there before the custodial staff would arrive, and they would hear a child bouncing a ball in the downstairs lobby. They would peek closer and see the dark shadow embodiment of a childs figure. People reported seeing a child running up and down the stairs, playing games and well being a kid. During Halloween, the supervisor said that as she was upstairs filing some papers, getting things ready, a doll that hung by the wall beside her started shivering and violently thrusting, the hairs of the doll began to move in an electrified fashion. She told us she soon bolted out of there as soon as she could. The supervisor has been reluctant to stay after hours.
My boss would often times be left alone in the largest classroom in the academy, (it was one that was used for instructing and cutting clients hair) and as he cleaned the lockers in that room, now keep in mind there was an estimated hundred or so, they begin to pound loudly and aggressively in the corners of the room... Moving from locker to locker as if there was some sort of angry dog or animal inside them.
This place is scary enough, with a chandelier, classical 8ft frames hanging from the sides of the lobby, the deserted and isolated feel of everything, since it was a theater originally..
The one that really took any shred of skepticism away for me though was when I actually heard the ghost for myself. I wanted to maintain my skepticism, in part because in any other way I think I would have been to afraid to go back, but after I actually heard it I dont know if I could explain it away.. Late midnight as I was resting in my chair in the lonely hallway near the exit, I heard a very audible groaning, but it wasnt a passive groaning, the one I heard was a suffocated, tired and violent groaning as if to say "I cannot take it anymore, I am enraged, someone help me.." After I got my nerves back I went and checked the empty locker hallway next to where I was, just to check if anyone was actually there... there was no one. My boss was upstairs and apparently I finished too early and I assumed we were done so I waited.. The sound could not have come from outside because there was a very real sense of the audio sounds bouncing from the walls of the locker hallway. It happened about fifteen feet from where I was!! It sounded really disturbed to be honest.
As the months went by they decided on getting the school a new paint job, you know for the coming year and because the aesthetics were beginning to show its age. They remodeled and brought in new equipment. And at night came a group of painters that were hired to give the walls of the school a new paint job. The first week into the job the painter lost his whole crew and got stuck finishing the job by himself. The crew fled that week in fear. Also a skeptic, he scoffed at the idea of ghosts and at his workers for being "cowards". From what he tells, that is one night he wont soon forget. I must assume he is now a somewhat changed man as well due to the trauma of his experience.
As he was left painting the remainder the building from the inside, right in the same spot that I heard the grueling voice, he said a body clung to his back as he was benched over painting and gathering his supplies.. He felt it was some sort of playful wrestling that tossed his body around and pulled from the neck. After the four hours of work he came home a shivering person, shocked and confused. Denouncing that place and swearing he would never go back there no matter what they payed him..
I could go on and on about the stories and experiences.. But this is why I simply am not okay with hearing that these things dont happen.. These things need to be accounted for and need to be taken seriously as they affect people and can leave them traumatized..
This is why I think its unwise to dismiss these things or to treat them without respect. The debaters in opposition claimed to be coming from a level headed and respectful position but I dont think this is true... There was a lot of sarcasm and explanations given in a joking tone from the opposing debaters that made me cringe when in the same debate they claimed to be respectful as well.. It might be only my opinion, and I could be wrong on this, but that is the attitude I perceived during the debate.
I think it is naive at best, to believe that looking through this limited filter of the materialistic position can solve all discussions. It is important to view these things with humility and simply accept that we do not yet have all the answers. That somethings might be within our reach and others might simply not be within our reach, now or ever at all.
I think the scientific community needs to have a perspective of self criticism and humility and to simply say, "we dont know and our proposed hypotheses are not adequate to explain supernatural phenomena, but we still acknowledge its importance and presence in our everyday lives. " It would be nice to hear scientists saying this more and more often. That the materialistic perspective is but a small portion of the entire amount of knowledge.
If there was nothing there, there would be nothing there. Considering western scientists... can't even measure 96% of the Universe, the most unscientific thing one could do is assume anything about it. Some of us didn't have time to argue, it's easier to just do it.
Death is the ultimate personal experience. I do not personally believe death is final. But one cannot "know" until one has the experience. I'm content to wait and find out for myself. The talking heads can argue ad nauseum. They'll find out soon enough.
Science continues to equate, and confuse, "mind" with "consciousness." In the eastern sciences, which do not deny life after death, mind is indeed produced by the brain; but it is Consciousness that exists independent of the brain. Until science is able to sort out its own definitions, debates like this one will continue on false premises.
Clever, clever undecideds
Near death critics should watch Pim van Lommel's video.
I don't really care for the format of these debates with the voting from the audience. There's too much bias potential from the audience. What if they vote "undecided" beforehand even though they have a definitely opinion on the matter, just so they can make it seem as though more people have been swayed by their side? How are we to know if the audience is actually balanced? Even though it turned out that the 'against' side garnered more votes in the end, I don't believe for a second that it's a accurate reflection of how convinced the audience was of the arguments.
Alexander's entire argument is based upon an argument from ignorance. He doesn't have any other explanation for what he experienced, therefore it's the afterlife. It's just one huge logical fallacy. It doesn't exactly help that he believes in remote viewing and such....that just adds to my confidence that he's not a person to be taken seriously.
Eben (a name he gave himself, not his birth name) was thoroughly debunked in a fine journalist piece (in Vanity Fair or the New Yorker, I think.) I read it a while ago. The guy's got a scam going. He lied about a lot of things and got busted by a thorough journalist.

Jay Roxe explains VS Standard in eWeek"With Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition we've recognized there is no one right tool for all developers and we've tried to target the line at the different types of developers," said Jay Roxe, product manager for Visual Basic, in an interview with eWEEK. "With Standard Edition we're targeting individuals who develop professional commercial quality applications but who develop on their own. The announcement of Standard Edition completes the picture for the Visual Studio product line."
and in InfoWorld"With the Standard product, we're looking to move the Visual Basic 6.0 developer forward and also looking at Web developers who might be using, say, [Macromedia's] Dreamweaver," for Web development, said Jay Roxe, Microsoft product marketing manager for Visual Studio.

- injection drug use
Aims The three primary objectives of this study were (1) to document the prevalence of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and awareness of one's status in a sample of street-recruited injection drug users (IDUs); (2) to compare the drug use and HCV risk behaviors of IDUs who reported that they were HCV infected with those who were unaware of their status and subsequently tested positive for HCV antibodies; and (3) to assess associations between risk factors and HCV status by comparing those who tested positive with those who tested negative.
Design IDUs responded to structured interview questions assessing HCV risk behaviors and were offered a free HCV test.
Setting Subjects were recruited through street outreach in Denver, CO, USA.
Participants Participants were current, out-of-treatment IDUs.
Measurements A modified version of the Risk Behavior Assessment (RBA) and HCV test results were used.
Findings Of the 197 participants, 20% had been diagnosed previously with HCV. Of those who did not know their status, 61% tested positive for HCV antibodies. Those who knew they were positive had been injecting longer but engaged in fewer HCV risk behaviors than those who did not know their status. Compared to those who tested negative, those who tested positive were more likely to be male, non-white and older. They also had been injecting longer, were more likely to use heroin and/or crack cocaine and consumed more alcohol.
Conclusions In this study, a very large proportion of injection drug users who had hepatitis C were unaware of it, and they were engaging in more risk behaviors than those who were aware of their positive status. Risk factors associated with positive HCV status were identified so that those who are most at-risk for HCV might be targeted for testing and subsequent prevention or care.

The journey of a throat swab
A sore throat is a common affliction many of us will suffer from time to time. It's a well-known fact that the majority of sore throats are viral, where rest and symptomatic relief are prescribed, rather than antibiotics.
However in around 20 per cent of cases a bacterial infection will be the culprit, and a throat swab needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Mackenzie Nicol, team leader of Microbiology, tells us about throat swabs and what happens once they arrive at the laborator.
A clinical indication
A throat swab is taken when your doctor suspects a bacterial infection is the cause of your discomfort. Together with your clinical details, the throat swab is sent to the laboratory for processing.
The main pathogen of interest is Group A Streptococcus. Its occurrence in the throat is commonly referred to as 'strep throat'.
Breeding bacteria on a plate
At the laboratory an attempt is made to grow the bacteria. The specimen is placed on a blood agar plate and 'streaked' out, so single colonies of the bacteria can be recognised with the naked eye. The plate also contains a disc of bacitracin, an antibiotic.
The blood agar plate then spends the night in a carbon dioxide incubator, set to the normal body temperature of 37°
A positive result
The next morning we analyse the blood agar plate, looking for beta-haemolytic streptococci. Beta-haemolysis is when a pathogen has the ability to destroy red blood cells.
Remember the disc of bacitracin added to the plate? Group A Streptococcus is sensitive to the antibiotic bacitracin. If this bacterium is present there will be a clear zone of no growth surrounding the bacitracin disc.
If a zone of inhibition is observed, testing will be done to confirm the bacterium.
The results, along with a comment on antibiotic sensitivity, will be with your doctor around lunchtime the day after receiving your sample
"The thing with microbiology," says Mackenzie, "is that you have to wait for bugs to grow!"

I recall learning, I think in mesechtas kiddushin, that a woman is the (halachic?) equivalent of a man who has had a bris milah performed. In other words, since she does not have the same organ she is viewed as if she is a person who has had a bris performed, not as a person who does not have a need to have one performed. What is the source for this idea?

I was helping out a friend working on a presentation where he wants to show some videos he has taken but converted to ASCII art. I can do that quite easily with mplayer on a Linux box using aalib (-vo aa). But that only plays the movie, transcoding it live. What I would like to do is to convert those videos to ASCII art and save them in files so that they can be played in a loop on some regular video players (be that vlc, wmediaplayer, whatever).
I have played around with mplayer / mencoder trying to dump streams, videos, piping it to fifos, standard output and so on but I just can not seem to find any way of doing this.
Has any of you done this before and if yes, how?
Thanks a lot!

- Ichthyosis, CHILD syndrome
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] Several cases in which milder signs and symptoms have been reported in the medical literature.[2] The condition is caused by mutations in the NSDHL gene, a gene that provides instructions for the production of an enzyme involved in the making of cholesterol. CHILD syndrome is inherited in an X-linked dominant fashion and is almost exclusively found in females.[1]CHILD syndrome, also known as congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and limb defects, is a genetic condition that is typically characterized by large patches of skin that are red and inflamed (erythroderma) and covered with flaky scales (ichthyosis) and limb underdevelopment or absence. The development of organs such as the brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys may also be affected.

"Gyeongbokgung Palace" Gyeongbokgung Palace Tip by IreneMcKay
Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul: 93 reviews and 220 photos
This palace was one of the highlights of our second visit to Seoul. There was just so much going on. We began by watching the changing of the guards ceremony just outside the main gate. You can watch this without paying the palace entry fee if you want. The ceremony was carried out in traditional costume.
Inside the palace they were rehearsing for the anniversary of a huge historical examination. More traditional clothes. In addition during our visit they were filming a TV show here. Traditional costumes and music. Also people are paid to wander around in traditional clothes re-enacting scenes from palace life. As if that were not enough Koreans dress up in their own traditional clothes to have their photos taken here. There are some lovely buildings and a beautiful pagoda on an island set in the midst of a scenic pond.
This palace was constructed in 1394. It was the main palace of the Joseon Dynasty (1392~1910). It was founded by King Taejo and is the grandest of all five of Seoul's palaces.
Make sure you see the imperial throne room of Geunjeongjeon or Gyeonghoeru Pavilion, which stands on forty-eight granite pillars towering over a lotus lake. Other highlights include the tall pagoda of the National Folk Museum of Korea and Hwangwonjeong Pavilion, which sits in a beautiful pond. You can get a great photo of this pavillion and its reflection.
To get here: Take subway Line 3 to Gyeongbokgung Station and proceed to Exit 5. The palace grounds are open from 09:00~18:00 (March ~ October) and 09:00~17:00 (November ~ February). Gyonegbokgung Palace is closed Tuesday. Admission is 3,000 won.

Its welded frame 2x2 11ga square tubing we placed 11ga 5in straps in the middle, inner is 2 sheets 4x8 plywood and a 4x8 3/4inrubber mat. Then welded the 18in pipe along the edge to hold the bands....
