Former Tangerine chef, Christopher Painter, heads up the kitchen at Stephen Starr's latest addition to the Philadelphia restaurant scene, Angelina. The new eatery features genuine Italian cooking, as opposed to fusion or Americanized versions of Italian dishes. The gorgeously designed space at Seventh and Chestnut was done by designers Owen Kamihira and Jun Aizaki. Check out the inviting bar with its wall o' wine for a pre-dinner cocktail. This spot is hot!
Denim nightclub hosted the Bikini Beach Bash on Thursday, July 24th, complete with celeb attendees, like DJ Jazzy Jeff, a gaggle of girls from the Philadelphia Charge, and a sprinkling of Sixers and Eagles players. At the end of the night there was the official bikini contest, which quickly turned into what appeared to be a strip contest as the girls shed those pesky bikinis atop the bar. Sorry guys, out of respect for innocent bystanders there is no photographic record of that.
As part of a month-long summer music concert series, the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra performed on August 7th in Rittenhouse Square. The free concert was attended by couples lolling on picnic blankets with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, young marrieds with a baby or two covered in ice cream dribbles, and the occasional jogger, annoyed by the throngs blocking the pavement.
To celebrate the kick-off of the Philadelphia International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, the director and stars of the film Latter Days gathered for a pre-screening party. Jacqueline Bisset, one of the movie's stars, was on hand to introduce the cast at the theater later in the evening.
The Global Interdepence tk held its annual dinner at the Four Seasons. Since they put it so eloquently, this is their story: "The GIC is a non-profit organization that recognizes the increasing economic and political interdependence of nations. GIC is committed to the expansion of global trade, believing investment and finance in a sustainable free trade environment is a positive instrument for reducing international tensions and improving worldwide living standards." Oh. Is that all?

We booked a king bed - have a confirmation for a king bed - were checked into a room with a queen. When I called the desk, their only response was .... "we don't have a king bed" . End of story. The rooms are in poor shape - in need of refurbishing. No refrigerator. No fan in the bathroom. Not a comfortable bed. No elevator to the second floor in the section we were assigned so if you have trouble with stairs and lugging suitcases, this spot is not for you. Breakfast was minimal.

August 19, 2004
U.S. women's
4x200 free relay
Anytime you can say, "Yeah, but we toppled the 17-year-old East German world record," it's a great day. Congrats to the super-fast women.
The Lead Item
Two Words For You:
More LeBron is the solution
to what's ailing U.S. Hoops.
The 89-79 win
over Australia (coming from 12 points behind) was notable for the dominant 24-12 fourth quarter. On the floor for the entire period? LeBron.
Turns out he's a pretty stellar international player -- because the entire Olympic trick is passing and he does that better than anyone else on the roster. The U.S. played better
precisely because
LeBron was in there.
"Playing freshmen" might be anathema to Larry Brown's sensibilities, but it's time for him to build on his decision to play LeBron for the entire fourth.
If LeBron leads the U.S. in minutes played,
it will win the gold and quash the critics. If Brown overthinks and limits LeBron's minutes -- because he's young, because he likes to celebrate after baskets, whatever -- the U.S. will have no one to blame but the guy doling out the PT.
Hamm Wins Gold
Move over, Michael Phelps:
In taking the first gold in men's all-around gymnastics
in U.S. history,
Paul Hamm vaults himself into bonafide superstardom.
If Mary Lou Retton was a guy:
Moving from 12th place after the vault to near-perfection in the high bar at the end, Hamm provided the most exciting comeback (not to mention the closest finish -- 12 one-thousandths of a point) in Olympic men's gymnastics history.
So what next?
Endorsement deals with lunchmeats? (Even though his name rhymes with Tom.) Perhaps the Wheaties box? Maybe, like the fans who watched, he can enjoy the achievement simply for the unparalleled success it was.
Johan Santana: Best P since ASB (6-0, 1.82 ERA) stifles NY
Rangers: Win 6th in row, ice used-to-be-hot Cleveland
Olympia: Best. Venue. Ever. "OLY Old School" was must-see
Andy Roddick and Venus Williams: No Olympic gold; bounced
Andy Pettitte: Out for year (elbow); an ex-Yankees curse?
AZ Cards: Hard-luck camp gets harder; lose DT Kenny King
Wheaties Watch
Per the preceding item, we have a new leader ...
1. Paul Hamm
Unprecedented gold sure helps
2. Michael Phelps
But 200IM gold on deck today
3. USA softball
Wow: 5 shutouts in 5 games
4. U.S. women swimmers
4x200 awesome; Coughlin next?
5. Adam Nelson
Shot-putter gracious in defeat
Phelps on Demand
200 IM finals (no WR in qualifiers, but watch for it with gold at stake), plus 100 fly qualifying -- with the 100 fly finals showdown with master Ian Crocker on radar for Friday. That's medals No. 6 and 7 for those doing the calculus.
Bowa on Hot Seat
"He's the manager."
With that ringing non-endorsement, perhaps Phillies GM Ed Wade would like to enter the Quickie office pool on when manager Larry Bowa gets canned. The current target date: Irony-laden Labor Day. How about an early heads-up, Ed?
Eli's gonna get a look
at the NFC's best front four, and it might be from his backside. Whether it lasts a quarter or just a series, Manning will quickly realize the difference between playing the 2nd quarter vs. some scrubs and starting vs. nasty vets with a taste for No. 1 overall draft picks.
ND's New Sked
"What They Said, What They Meant,"
Back to School Edition, featuring Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White, on the team's interest in changing its future football schedules:
What he said:
"More clarity and sanity."
What he meant:
"More cupcakes."
Esteban Loaiza:
Este-banned: Is the mighty Loiaza Era already over in New York? The NY Post is reporting that the Yankees want to pawn him off on the Rangers.
Today on ESPN.com

A. Peirsol: More hardware?
No decision on Expos relocation, MLB says: Is Vegas making a late push, or is the O's Angelos still flexing about the DC area? ...
Another Eric Gagne blown save (that's 2!) lends validity to concerns he's arm-weary (or maybe just that the Marlins are stirring) ...
As if losing Pettitte wasn't enough, the Astros list Clemens as day-to-day after straining his calf running to 1B ...
Bonds Watch: Hit No. 692 (34th this season) in second game of a Wednesday doubleheader ...
Deion Update: Not unexpectedly, he's on his own timetable, undermining everything that control-freak NFL coaches stand for ...
Why does it feel like the Braves are involved in every big "playoff-preview"-ish series these days? Next up: 4 vs. the Dodgers ...

Anti-aging movement
The anti-aging movement is a social movement devoted to eliminating or reversing aging, or reducing the effects of it.[1][2] A substantial portion of the attention of the movement is on the possibilities for life extension, but there is also interest in techniques such as cosmetic surgery which ameliorate the effects of aging rather than delay or defeat it.[citation needed]
Two popular proponents of the anti-aging movement include Ray Kurzweil, who thinks humanity can defeat aging through the advance of technology,[3] and Aubrey De Grey, who thinks the human body is a very complicated machine and thus, can be repaired indefinitely.[4] Other scientists and significant contributors to the movement include molecular biologists, geneticists, and biomedical gerontologists such as Gary Ruvkun, Cynthia Kenyon, and Arthur D. Levinson. However, leading figures in the gerontology community have tried to distance their research from the perceived pseudoscience of the movement.[5]

Anti-aging medicine[edit]
Anti-aging medicine has become a budding and rapidly growing medical specialty as physicians who initially sought treatment for themselves have received training and certification in its practice[1] by organizations such as the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M).
Human growth hormone[edit]
Central to anti-aging medicine is administration of human growth hormone.[6] Clinical studies have shown that low-dose growth hormone (GH) treatment for adults with GH deficiency changes the body composition by increasing muscle mass, decreasing fat mass, and increasing bone density and muscle strength. It also improves cardiovascular parameters (i.e. decrease of LDL cholesterol) and affects the quality of life without significant side effects.[7][8][9] However, it is also said to have potentially dangerous side-effects when used in injectable form, if proper protocols are not followed. It is not approved for use in healthy aging patients, though many have been using it for this reason for decades now. That restriction is sidestepped by means of a diagnosis of some injury or organic condition, adult growth hormone deficiency,[10] which supposedly has resulted in reduced secretion of the hormone.[11]
Menopausal hormone drugs[edit]
Administration of estrogen and other hormones such as progestin were popularized by the 1966 book Feminine Forever by Robert A. Wilson.[12] However, the increase of the use of estrogen was shown to be associated with an increased risk of cancer.[13] Later, in 2002, research into the long-term effects of estrogen on post-menopausal women, the Women's Health Initiative, produced evidence that there were serious side effects.[14] Physicians who prescribe the hormones now prescribe low doses of the drugs. Research into the long-term effects of hormone replacement therapy are continuing, with a 2009 Cochrane review concluding that long-term use may decrease the risk of bone fractures, but increase the risk of stroke, heart attacks and breast cancer.[15]
Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies[edit]
An annual conference is held which, in addition to presentations by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), offers booths and presentations by manufactures of products and providers of services. The 17th annual conference was held December 9–12, 2009 at the THEhotel at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to the A4M website, key conference topics included the following:[16]
- Alternative cancer therapies
- Sleep disorders
- Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
- Facial rejuvenation
- Weight Management including non-invasive procedures for obesity
- DNA mitochondrial repair
- Infectious disease and restoring the immune system
- Exercise physiology for seniors
- Metabolic-cellular detoxification
- Hormone restoration in men and women
- IV parenteral mutrition
Scientific Approaches[edit]
Biogerontology is a scientific discipline which has the same area of interest but, as a branch of gerontology, takes a more conservative approach.[17]
Age Management Medicine[edit]
Age Management Medicine distinguishes itself from anti-aging by being a more evidence based, proactive, preventative approach to healthcare for an aging population focused on preservation of optimum human function and quality of life making every effort to modulate the process of aging prior to the onset of degenerative aging.[citation needed] Age Management Medicine is led by the Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG), which provides education and information on the specialty of Age Management Medicine to physicians and healthcare professionals through evidence-based continuing medical education conferences, workshops, seminars, certifications, publications and web media.[citation needed]
Mass movement[edit]
A substantial fraction of older people, taking their cue from alternative medicine, purchase and use herbal supplements and other products which promise relief from the incidents and dangers of aging. Some products are not effective while others hold promise.[18]
Realistic and modest appraisal[edit]
There are at least two opposite views on the prospects of anti-aging research and development. One group states that there is a great deal of over-heated rhetoric in use with respect to life extension with over-optimistic projections on the part of its advocates. They also claim that there is little evidence that any significant breakthrough has been made, or is on the horizon.[19] Some state that, this is largely due to a current lack of funding or interest in the issue.[20] A study of the common supplements and hormone treatments used published in 2006 in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine showed that none of them are effective with respect to extending life.[21] Another group notices that recent scientific successes in rejuvenation and extending the lifespan of model animals (mice 2.5 times, yeast and nematodes 10 times)[22][not in citation given] and discovery of variety of species (including humans of advanced ages) having negligible senescence give hope to achieve negligible senescence (cancel ageing) for younger humans, reverse ageing, or at least significantly delay it. Moreover, stopping or delaying aging should be a focus of the modern science and medicine since ageing is the major cause of mortality in the world.[23][24]
Though some scientists think curing aging is impossible, there are some criticisms of both the time frame life extensionists envision (the first, perhaps somewhat crude, treatments within the next several decades, or at least before the beginning of the 22nd century) and of whether curing aging is even desirable. Common criticisms of the idea of life extension are fears it will cause the world to be more overpopulated; however De Grey counters that by saying that since menopause would also be delayed, women could wait longer to have children and thus, the rate of growth would actually decline as a result. Also, the slowly growing population would buy centuries of time to figure out new places to live, such as space colonies.[citation needed][25]

Maybe it is because of his background in computer science that Dr. de Grey perceives the human body as a very complicated machine. Therefore, he argues that aging is primarily an engineering problem.

HYPOCRISY: Climate Change Deniers Mock Jenny McCarthy's Anti-Science Views
McCarthy's advocacy isn't just a silly, innocent belief; it is actively harmful to public health. A recent University of Michigan study found that 1 in 4 parents trusted anti-vaccine advocates like McCarthy at least somewhat on the matter. Fewer parents vaccinating their children against infectious diseases can be quite dangerous, leading to an increase in whooping cough deaths in California and measles cases in the United Kingdom.
Among those lambasting The View for giving McCarthy's anti-science theories a platform, though, are prominent conservatives who deny scientific consensus in another realm: climate change.
Here are four examples:
Breitbart.com editor-at-large Ben Shapiro, who mocked efforts to combat climate change, arguing that correlation does not "equal causation", criticized McCarthy's anti-vaccination push:
She said that chelation therapy helped her son recover from autism; chelation therapy assumes that mercury in vaccines lies behind autism. Thanks in part to McCarthy's publicity campaign against vaccinations, thousands of American parents have not vaccinated their children, resulting in higher rates of measles and whooping cough. McCarthy said, "Since when is repeating the words of parents and recommending further investigation a crime?"
TownHall.com columnist Derek Hunter, who three weeks ago called climate change a "hoax", said McCarthy will get people killed:
Of course Jenny McCarthy has been named new co-host of @theviewtv. Rewarded for countless deaths from her anti-immunization crap. Sick.
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) July 15, 2013
Columnist and Hot Air writer Ed Morrissey, who has penned climate-denying articles like "Where's the warming?", mocked McCarthy's anti-science views:
They have to have a vaccine against this, no? RT @ABC: Jenny McCarthy will join "The View" as new co-host http://t.co/X0k0ERFnzR
— Ed Morrissey (@EdMorrissey) July 15, 2013
GOP strategist Rick Wilson, who called talking about climate change "timewasting," doesn't think it's an "urgent" matter, and doubts scientific reports showing global warming, called McCarthy a "whackado":
Noted anti-vax whackado Jenny McCarthy to join "The View." Because, science.
— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) July 15, 2013
Why is it safe for conservatives to mock McCarthy's anti-vaccine science views, yet regularly espouse their own anti-climate science beliefs? Look no further than the multi-trillion dollar oil industry.
Oil revenues total approximately $2 trillion, money which has been used to fund junk "studies" and groups, run massive anti-climate change advertising campaigns, and support politicians who actively oppose taking any action to avert catastrophic climate disaster. The oil industry has been so successful at casting doubt in the public sphere over the existence of man-made climate change — despite near-universal consensus among scientists that it's happening — that it's become not only uncontroversial, but accepted for figures like Shapiro, Hunter, Morrissey, and Wilson to deny climate science. All the while, the oil industry pumps out more than 1 billion pounds of carbon pollution every day, contributing to warming temperatures and leading the world dangerously closer to the point of no return.
If there were an industry that gained massive profits by purporting a link between vaccines and autism — despite all scientific evidence to the contrary — many conservatives would be far more likely to agree with McCarthy instead of mocking her. Similarly, if there weren't an industry who reaped huge profits by extracting and burning a product that pollutes the air, many conservatives would find themselves on the side of science, instead of on the side of oil companies.
56 Responses to HYPOCRISY: Climate Change Deniers Mock Jenny McCarthy's Anti-Science Views
So y'all are going to be rushing out to get this one too? Seeing as how it's so "scientific" and all…
FDA approves first GMO flu vaccine containing reprogrammed insect virus
I heard today that her son doesnt have autism anymore…in other words he never had it.
Has that been reversed again? Where does she stand now?
Just this last month a study came out, "Autism Risk Linked To Distance From Power Plants, Other Mercury-Releasing Sources"
that would seem to substantiate, a hypothesis that Mercury in Vaccines might cause Autism. Of course it's easy to impeach an argument when you can change it from "can we take the Mercury out of the vaccines and please not inject babies with Mercury" truncate that down to "vaccines cause Autism" and then Jenny sounds real crazy.
Is there some reason I shouldn't? Sounds like an awesome genetically programmed flu-killing machine. What's not to like?
Aaaand – the anti-science left comes out of the woodwork. Hey guys. You're just as wrong as the climate deniers, for essentially the same reasons.
Except the mercury was removed from the vaccines around 13 years ago, and diagnoses of autism have continued to climb. Sorry. There's no way to reparse McCarthy's beliefs so that she's not a murderous whackdoodle.
David, naturalnews.com cannot be your point of authority if you want people to take you seriously about vaccines. You might as well link to whale.to or the cranks at the NVIC.
"If there were an industry that gained massive profits by purporting a link between vaccines and autism"
Actually, there's an industry that gains massive profits from the production of vaccines, but never mind, your post is spot on.
I prefer to think of it as even the right wing "special snowflakes" agree that she's nuts. It's an across the spectrum consensus.
I don't think anyone on the left thinks Jenny is ok for her damaging views either. No political affiliation is necessary to believe in science so Jenny is as full of it as any climate change deniers are. I don't deny any peer reviewed scientific studies. Even the left thinks Jenny should be kept from being on the View because her uninformed hunch about vaccines is dangerous. Liberals just don't look as silly citing science here since they don't deny science in other arenas. It should really not require political leanings to know that peer reviewed research trumps the layperson's uninformed hunches on any subject.
Except for flu vaccines, mercury in the form of thimerosal was removed from or reduced in all vaccines routinely recommended for children 6 years of age and under back in 2001. Despite this removal, autism diagnoses have continued to increase, exactly the opposite of what you'd expect if mercury in vaccines was a cause of autism.
There's more mercury in a tuna salad sandwich than there is in a vaccine that still contains mercury.
That study you mention came out in 2008, not last month, and both it and its 2006 predecessor, done by the same researcher, have some significant flaws.
Jenny does sound kind of crazy. First, there was all that "indigo child" blather, then the "vaccines gave my baby autism" blather, and now the "I cured my baby of autism" blather. It doesn't help her cause that she shouts down anyone who disagrees with her, rather than engaging in discourse.
It's my experience that most of the anti-science talk we hear comes from the right, not the left.
I'm joining the above posters. Just as the coal and nuclear industries are enormously tempted to say "the science is in and our product is safe", so the biotech industry is enormously tempted to say "the science is in and our product is safe". The trouble is, all sorts of independent scientists are publishing studies to the contrary.
Also holding a huge financial stake in the issue: anyone with an M.D. or D.D.S. after their name. Should the opponents come up with the proof, the lawsuits will be asbestos-sized.
There is an industry that gains massive profits by purporting a link between vaccines and autism. It's the anti-vaxx industry, and they make a considerable amount of money from donations, workshops, conventions, and so forth.
I grew up in the 50's, and I remember the pervasive fear of polio during those years. Images and articles about people in iron lungs were pretty common, and damn scary. I don't think anyone who was around then, and has seen the difference that just one vaccine has made, makes light of the people who create and distribute vaccines.
Only if you fail to understand what methylmercury and ethylmercury are and the current status of mercury in vaccines.
Except for anti-gmo stuff.
It is not a rigorous argument to blame all conservative viewpoints on oil industry. There could be another answer to your question, "Why is it safe for conservatives to mock McCarthy's anti-vaccine science views, yet regularly espouse their own anti-climate science beliefs?"
I don't speak for conservatives, but the usefulness of vaccines is very real to anyone who was spared a case of polio or mumps. That includes nearly anyone born in the US since the early 1950s.
In contrast, the personal experiences of climate change have hit some hard, while others don't see its effects, at least not yet.
There is one group of people making money off of autism: all the ones soliciting funds searching for a "cure" that most likely doesn't exist. The only effective treatment I have ever seen is intense & expensive long term therapy to maximize the existing potential of kids affected by autism.
Sounds like you need to improve scientific literacy in your schools and population. Australian Academy of Science showed yesterday that ours has been dropping and is below what is required to understand current debates, ME
Well said Gregory
Ah, the insect virus is in there to make the production of vaccine more economical (by making it faster).
That makes me feel so much better…
Do you have something more recent than the 2008 preliminary study? On the same page I found your article, I found this one, a much larger study, which showed that typically developing children and children with autism have similar levels of mercury in their blood streams:
And both are dealing with elemental mercury, a known neurotoxin, not thimerasol which, BTW, has been taken out of child vaccines. Autism rates have remained unchanged. Your Jenny continues to be anti-vaccine, though because what?
What anti-gmo stuff, specifically, is anti-science? Nearly everything anti-gmo I've heard has been that it needs more testing, and that the testing that was done is questionable and/or incomplete.
Asking for more science is hardly anti-science.
The trouble is, all sorts of independent scientists are publishing studies to the contrary.
Hmmm…where have we heard this sort of claim made before? Oh yeah: the "thousands of scientists" who supposedly disagree with the consensus on AGW.
Just how many scientists = "all sorts"?
I had all my vaccines as a child & I'm fine, born in 1965
Vaccine ingredient causes brain damage; some nutrients prevent it

We previously showed that its administration to infant rats causes behavioral, neurochemical and neuropathological abnormalities similar to those present in autism. Here we examined, using microdialysis, the effect of thimerosal on extracellular levels of neuroactive amino acids in the rat prefrontal cortex (PFC). Thimerosal administration (4 injections, i.m., 240 μg Hg/kg on postnatal days 7, 9, 11, 15) induced lasting changes in amino acid overflow: an increase of glutamate and aspartate accompanied by a decrease of glycine and alanine; measured 10–14 weeks after the injections. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3264864/
Sounds perfectly safe to me, but the Hepatitis B vaccine sounded perfectly safe to gay men in Manhattan in 1978, too.
And all the other 'adjuvants' added to vaccines, some proprietary and secret, to improve their efficacy, they are all 100% safe, too, I suppose.
That is as preposterous an assertion as that made by climate denialists that the 'climate change' industry is worth untold millions (or is it billions?)in research grants and other mysterious sources of gelt. BigPharma makes more money out of vaccines in a morning than the 'anti-vaxx industry'(who, pray tell, are these mysterious money-bags?)have ever done.
Not so. Vaccine production is not highly profitable for pharmaceutical companies. They like drugs that people have to take every day for years or forever. Vaccines are administered in one or two doses and generally that's it. Most of them are generic, and there's powerful political and social pressure to keep them cheap. So no, "Big Pharma" has bigger fish to fry.
The Republicans are just lining up where the massive money/power is – in this case, Big Pharma….as with the fossil fuel industry the Republicans are just being consistent (go where the money and power is and attack that which poses a threat to that money and power). Whether science lines up with what stance the Republicans take is totally coincidental.
This is just the Republicans being consistent – they are lining up where the special interests money/power (i.e. Big Pharma) campaign contributions tell them to. As with climate change they rain down whatever dismissing desparaging remarks on the "enemy" they can (since saying "anti-science" is a suitable bat to use here, they use it) – the fact that they are talking science or anti-science in their attacks is entirely coincidental and of no importance to them.
(BTW my original post to this article was the 1st (2:30pm on the 17th and was never released from review purgatory – which irritates me to an extent).
Possibly true, but the important thing to remember about the science of neurochemistry is that Jenny McCarthy is nothing but a dumb blonde, or at least she plays one in front of the camera for enough money.
Here's a real confidence-builder…
CDC Admits 98 Million Americans Received Polio Vaccine Contaminated With Cancer Virus
Not exactly a secret though…
…among many more
Perhaps also read more than just the header:
when a proportion of the vaccine was contaminated with a cancer causing polyomavirus called SV40
…and the "causing" is currently unproven, and in doubt (see my link). Your link is to a crank site.
A recombinant vaccinia vector containing a safety-modified SV40 Tag sequence has been constructed http://tinyurl.com/m82pefq
Since uninfected weaning animals do not frequently seroconvert when grouped with the infected mothers or littermates, it seems most likely that transmission of SV40 in monkeys, under conditions of natural infection, occurs after weaning from the environment rather than directly from other animals. Interestingly, this observation would support SV40 transmission in humans from the contaminated general environment or from the home environment http://tinyurl.com/m82pefq
The problem today seems to be that this virus spreads in the population – without vaccines.
The incidence of autism among the Amish is 1 in 15,000. It's hard to explain to Amish farmers what exactly autism is and how it affects 2% of all American boys, because they have no concept of the syndrome. So, one known successful "cure" is to become Amish before you have kids. Therefore, other less rigorous "cures" probably exist and they possibly involve not ingesting one modern chemical or another.
It's a bit more complex. Big Pharma has been siding more and more with the Democrats these days.
Both parties love returning vast favors for campaign contributions, but the Republicans are special in Fossil Fuel's eyes.
Of course the climate deniers need McCarthy. Their own narrative (created as much I suspect for their own delusion as pubic consumption) is that they are follow science and make up their own minds on the evidence. So they need to find examples where they actively show this. But anyway, climate change and vaccines are different kinds of threat with very different appeals. Vaccines contain the high tech self interventionalist science for that appeals to conservative deniers and repel green types. Vaccines are about taking responsibility to invest in your own self interest-they have clear appeal.
Asking for more science is anti-science if there's no level of scientific testing that would satisfy critics. I've asked in many forums what level of GMO testing would critics of GMOs consider enough? I've yet to receive an answer. Here are a couple of sources showing the anti-science of anti-GMO movements:
As for the anti-vaccine movement – that has come about because of several things, the most important is the complete failing of the medical community to explain the massive increase of autism rates as well as the fact that in a good chunk of those kids they start developing social behaviors normally (talking, looking people in the eyes etc.) and around the time of a bunch of vaccines are administered (2yrs old) the child looses those all those skills, almost overnight, never to return (with associated repercussions for life for that family.
Without the medical community stepping up to the plate with an explanation of whats going on with autism and how to prevent it, parents are left to put together what they can based on what they see, hence you have Jenny McCarthy and others.
Whooping cough is an awful disease, one no parent ought to want. Children are sick for a long time, often "whooping" in the middle of the night. I have always been grateful that my mother got me a shot. Two of my first grade classmates were out of school about 2 months. They came back pale and thin. A neigborhood child illness crashed the family. His father already had the burden of a severely ill wife; he had to tend the house and work and the kids and then the sick kid. The father came down with tuberculosis and went to a sanitarium and the family moved away.
Big Pharma likes "intellectual property" rights and controlling drugs requiring frequent consumption. They are likely to bury tests which show that their Next Big Medicine is ineffective or dangerous. That doesn't mean that medicine per se is bogus science, simply that folks with a dog in the fight can't always be trusted to be impartial. True, anti-vaxxer industries, spokesmen, and the like can't compare to the big drug companies, but individual spokesmen would much rather hustle than work for a living. Witness the Creationist/ID antiscience crowd. No Koch-level wealth is involved there, but they nonetheless have a full time community of bogus arguments, spam, political/religious accusations, trolls, et al working overtime.
There has been a revolution in the treatment of autism but this news has not spread. One group has now reversed 100% of the symptoms of autism in 95 children and this number is growing. It takes on average almost a year to accomplish this using a solution of chlorine dioxide along with major changes in diet. The protocol is very rigorous and demanding on the families but they see it working and stay with it.
This major turnaround featured a major surprise. All of the children were heavily infested with parasites including worms more than a foot long. The solution is mainly killing off the parasites over time. They become very apparent in the children's stools coming out often in clumps.
Apparently most if not all children pick up these parasites and healthy immune systems including adequate vitamin D3 blood serum levels keep them in check. But some children's immune systems (specific to controlling parasites) gets comprised and vaccines appear to play a role in this although other factors also intervene so it may not be any one cause.
You can learn about this at http://www.mmsautism.org.
I have no involvement but I find it fascinating. The same substance, chlorine dioxide in solution, can apparently be used to treat many illnesses. Certainly there are naysayers that include those involved with conventional treatments but this new approach appears to be effective and safe.
Born in 1951. Had my polio vaccine in kindergarden. I grew up with kids born just a year or three too early and were crippled. There were others I didn't grow up with, siblings of my friends, who either were never seen in public or who died. I have scars from my two smallpox vaccinations also.
I'd like to see more tax dollars going into university medical drug research. License 'em out cheap when anything useful is found, employ grad students and post-docs with decent pay, and keep the research honest.
Yes, humans need answers and explanations. But sometimes the correct scientific answer is "we don't know." There are doctors researching autism.
Chlorine dioxide is toxic and has no recognized medical applications (except for sterilizing drinking water). I saw no links to supporting research papers on the site you linked to. Did I miss them? Non-scientifically educated parents with sick children have always been ripe for the plucking by nonscrupulous hustlers.
"The View" is set up for 'lite' controversy among the regulars, a entertainment version of the McLaughlin Group.
Has the "The View" talked about climate change?
Its current schedule is pop stars and an ex-spouse of a movie star.
If the View ever gets around to inviting a guest who wants to talk about climate change, then 'play it as it lays,' as golfers say.
I am left to wonder why she was selected. What is it that she offers that others might not? Some mysteries defy explanation. Is this one of them?
GE crops were simply declared 'substantially equivalent' by FDA apparatchiki, and there has basically been no research to judge their safety or efficacy. So, in a typical inversion of reality, it is the Rightwing pro-corporate astroturfers who are the real 'anti-science' crowd here. Meanwhile the evidence from the real world, and the few researchers who have done real science (the GE crop peddlers refuse to provide genetic material to non co-opted scientists)is steadily mounting of these crops' inefficacy, huge costs and the dangers of genetic pollution, including the development of 'superweeds' and the appearance of recombinant DNA far from the target species.
There has been an epidemic of medical research malpractise in recent years, so much so that medical authorities have become gravely concerned, and it is not driven by anti-vaccine activists. The actions of BigPharma and their hordes of paid PR flunkies, friends in Government and regulatory organs and disinformation trolls, are, in my opinion, exactly akin to those of the fossil fuel climate destabilisation denialist industry.
Ahhh- asbestos. That, too, was 'perfectly safe' and indeed still is, just so long as you are flogging it to unpeople in India. The beauty of capitalist reassurances.
BigPharma, hugely profitable, opposes cheap generic drugs, even in countries where the vast majority of the populace could never afford the rapaciously over-priced patented 'originals'. Thus they cause untold human suffering for nothing but a display of their power to control politicians and their typically capitalist inhumanity.

SAN DIEGO -- The last time the New York Mets allowed this many runs, infielder Todd Zeile finished the game on the mound.
And truth be told, manager Jerry Manuel might actually prefer that Zeile be in his bullpen rather than Oliver Perez.
Perez performed mop-up duty Monday in the Mets' most lopsided defeat in six years. The San Diego Padres beat the not-so-Amazin's 18-6 to set a Petco Park record for runs.
The two redeeming qualities of the walloping, as the Mets fell to 7-17 on the road this season?
1. At least it was past most bedtimes on the East Coast.
2. We now know under what circumstance Manuel will use Perez in a game: hopelessness.
With the Mets trailing by nine runs in the sixth inning, and with Hisanori Takahashi, Raul Valdes and Ryota Igarashi already having surrendered a combined 15 runs, Manuel inserted Perez into the lopsided affair.
Perez completed the rest of the sixth, as well as the seventh and eighth innings -- allowing a homer to Chase Headley and a ninth-inning run along the way -- as the Mets suffered a humbling defeat that made last week's 35-inning scoreless streak by the pitching staff a distant memory.
"I just have to prepare for everything," said Perez, who has declined to go to the minors, despite the organization's request. "This is my job now. I have to be ready for any situation -- winning or losing -- and try to get more innings."
Said Manuel: "The fact that we didn't throw strikes -- that always bothers me. It always raises a great deal of concern for me, because you can't defend that. If you get hit and those types of things, some teams are going to be hot and bang you around a little bit. But when you don't throw strikes, that's the thing that's discouraging for me. You just can't defend that."
Manuel had Perez warming up early in the game, when Takahashi was on the ropes in the third inning and the Mets trailed 6-1.
But when Takahashi wriggled out of that predicament thanks to center fielder Angel Pagan throwing out Nick Hundley at the plate, and then the Mets scored three runs in the fifth, Manuel deemed the game too close for Perez.
The skipper instead opted for Valdes, who allowed all five Padres batters he faced to reach base -- the final two on bases-loaded walks that forced in runs.
Takahashi entered the game having tossed consecutive six-inning scoreless outings against the Yankees and Phillies in his two starts since entering the rotation. And Valdes had exhibited the most control, but had gone unused for six days as Manuel attempted to allow the Cuban defector to recover from heavy early-season use.
"He's been a guy that pitches a lot. We thought we were doing him a favor by giving him a good breather here, but that wasn't the case," Manuel said about Valdes. "He just couldn't find the strike zone. And that's definitely not him. He's a guy that for us is the one guy we can be sure is going to come in and throw strikes, and he wasn't able to do that."
The Mets surrendered their most runs since July 26, 2004, at Montreal -- a 19-10 defeat to the Expos that was closed out by Zeile on the mound. Zeile gave up five runs, while Perez was only charged with two.
"This is something, especially for Takahashi and Raul, it was a fluke," said catcher Rod Barajas, whose two-run homer in the sixth pulled the Mets to within 10-6. "It happens. You put it behind you."

Cyberwarfare is now largely seen as an integral part of modern warfare by most developed nations. Until now, however, we have yet to see sophisticated cyber tactics be used by jihadist groups like al-Qaeda or ISIS. But that could soon change.
Google is planning to open Gmail and YouTube to kids under the age of 13. While the company will restrict this king's ransom of new clicks to kid-friendly content, hackers could well have a field day.
Home Depot hasn't really told us much about their data breach so far, and for that, I say shame on them. One of the few things they did share though, and quite categorically, is that no debit card PINs were exposed in the breach.
co-authored by Dr. Stephen Bryen, Founder & CEO ZiklagSystems Something is wrong with Home Depot's explanation of the hack on the point of their cas...
By now you've heard that Jennifer Lawrence's (and other celebs') cellphone nude pictures were leaked out, but how in the heck did the hacker pull this off? Tech experts believe it was through the "Find My iPhone" app.
What are these "botnets" you keep hearing about? Botnets (think roBOT + NETwork--gets you "BOTNET") are a network of secretly compromised, run-of-the-mill home and office computers that have malicious software--controlled by a solitary hacker or cybercrime ring.
It's pretty easy to believe that because you are young and not in the "real world" yet that you are immune to identity theft or credit card fraud. But crime isn't so choosy about age.
Gee, even the tools that update your smartphone's operating system over the air have holes that hackers can slip into.
As the smoke clears from this latest attack on privacy and our collective sense of decency, it's becoming more and more likely that a deft use of personally identifiable information was used to unlock the nude celebrity photo troves that flooded the Internet.
If the Home Depot breach turns out to be as bad or worse than the Target breach, certain things will be unavoidable for the home improvement giant. But there are some things the company can do to help reduce the short and long term impact and cost.
It's our Internet, and if we don't take care of it, it won't take care of us.
If you are not particularly worried about being high-minded here, there is another consideration, which is, by looking at the pictures, you are giving criminals a purpose for their act (at least with a degree or so of separation) and causing someone distress. Is it really worth it?
I am a 'culture hacker'. It's a curious term that is often confused with computer hackers and other technologists whose activities oftentimes invite suspicion.
Enough with the data breach excuses already. Not only are they as jaded as the breaches themselves, they're often just not true. In the aftermath of almost every data breach, chances are you're only going to get a boilerplate public statement.
From the moment that my children had access to things like camera phones or laptops with webcams, I have had numerous conversations about how any photo you take can be shared, and anything that is shared can be seen by the entire world.
Many technology executives don't have a favorable outlook on their ability to sideswipe cybercriminals, according to research conducted by McKinsey and World Economic Forum.

Area of Expertise: Regulation of DNA methylation in development and disease
DNA methylation is a heritable and reversible epigenetic phenomenon which is associated largely with gene repression. The expression of a large cohort of genes is dynamically regulated during normal cell differentiation, cancer progression and as a result of an exposure to environmental toxins. This change in expression is mediated by changes in the epigenetic state of these genes. Thus, inspection of the regulation of epigenetic processes like DNA methylation is the key to understanding cellular differentiation, developmental origin of disease and recently emphasized transgenerational inheritance.
My lab is interested in understanding the regulation of DNA methylation during stem cell differentiation and mis-regulation in cancer cells. In mammals, DNA methylation is catalyzed by the enzymes called DNA methyltransferases (MTases) Dnmt1, Dnmt3a and 3b. Dnmt3a and 3b are highly expressed in embryonic stages and in embryonic stem (ES) cells. Using mouse ES cells as a model system, we ask the following questions:
How are the targets of DNA MTases specified?
How is tissue-specific expression and splicing of DNA MTases regulated?
What are the roles of major and minor isoforms of Dnmt3b?
These questions are addressed by identifying the protein complexes that interact with DNA MTases and by designing experiments that elucidate the communication between various histone modifications and DNA methylation during the differentiation of stem cells. The possible role of RNA mediated targeting of DNA MTases is another subject of investigation.
My lab has an ongoing interest in the insulator protein Vezf1, which regulates the expression and splicing of Dnmt3b in mouse ES cells. My previous studies in Vezf1 -/- ES cells have shown widespread loss of DNA methylation, including at CpG islands, in the vicinity of several tissue specific genes that regulate developmental programs. New studies are investigating the sites that lost methylation in Vezf1 -/- ES cells as specific targets of Dnmt3b.
It has been speculated that changes in the composition of DNA MTase protein complexes could result in altered specificity of DNA methylation in cancer cells. It is planned to perform a comparative proteomics analysis to discover protein complexes that associate with MTases in normal vs. cancer cells. These studies will lead us to further investigate the mechanisms that cause altered specificity of DNA methylation in cancer cells.

The tree removal project is almost finished. Over this period, the office has received calls from both sides of the fence on this issue. Staff assures everyone that the trees removed were determined by the experts at Texas A&M Agrilife as dead, dying, diseased beyond reasonable care, reaching the end of their lifespan or damaging association or owner property. Trees not meeting this criteria are not being removed. To the owners calling the office asking for additional trees to be removed in order to improve your view of the canal, we cannot consider this without the tree meeting one of those criteria. It is important to remind owners that this is part of an overall plan to address water and landscaping issues as laid out by a homeowner committee and approved by the Master Board of Directors. Valley Ranch has a very good board of directors taking active steps to get ahead of what could be a very expensive problem in the future. Water shortages will continue and the association is actively pursuing solutions.

The great Walt Disney reboot revolution continues, but this time it's not an animated favorite that's getting the treatment. Rather, it's a beloved musical.
The studio is reportedly developing a new Mary Poppins musical. Instead of remaking the classic, Entertainment Weekly insiders reveal the new "film will take place in Depression-era London, some 20 years after Disney's classic Mary Poppins, and will draw from existing Poppins tales in the rest of author P.L. Travers' 1934-1988 children's book series."
Rob Marshall, who's adapted Broadway musicals like Chicago and Into The Woods for the big screen, has been tapped to produce the project along with John DeLuca and Marc Platt.
Would you watch a new Mary Poppins musical? Who do you think should play the part famously portrayed by Julie Andrews in the 1964 classic? Weigh in below.
The Brokeback Mountain and Star Trek Into Darkness actors aren't the first two actors to come to mind when one mentions musicals, but that could all very well change soon. The Hollywood Reporter reports that both Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Pine are in negotiations with Walt Disney to star in an upcoming big screen musical. If both jump on board, it will mark the first time both will appear on-screen in singing roles.
Reportedly, they've already presented their vocal talents to Rob Marshall. The Chicago director is taking another Broadway musical and adapting it for the big screen. Find out which one below, along with what two huge stars are already attached to the project.
So right out of the gate I am desperately excited to see what guest judge, Lady Gaga, will be wearing tonight and how her critics from Wednesday night's performance show will shape the fates of the remaining eight dancers in So You Think You Can Dance. Apparently Gaga is performing in the results episode as well! HECK YEAH!
The final eight contestants opened the night in typical fashion, with a group routine performed to The Circus Sets Up from the Water for Elephants soundtrack. I absolutely love this instrumental tune, and the dance was gorgeous. The costumes and styling of each performer were stunning and incredibly true to the movie-adaptation of the novel. This piece had an incredible Cirque du Soleil clown vibe, and I didn't want it to end. It was beautifully peaceful, and it brought Cat Deeley to tears. Surprizingly, this was a Tyce Diorio number and I'll admit, this piece definitely redeemed his abilities as a choreographer in my eyes.
Dear Skeletor, why on earth do we still need to have a two-hour performance episode when we're down to the top eight dancers?! I understand that each performer is dancing with an all star, but seriously, cut out the nonsense filler and give us the content we REALLY want to see – DANCING!
Holy SHIT I forgot LADY GAGA was a guest judge this week! YES! YES! YES!!! I will actually be listening to the commentary this week, just to see what she has to say about the different dancers and routines. That is, unless it ends up being incoherent nonsense and then I'll just start fast-forwarding again! Did you see Gaga's outfit?! It was AMAZEBALLS to the MAX! OH MY GOD I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! Mary Murphy, Skeletor and the second guest judge joined her for the week, the pumpkin, Rob Marshall. Did you see his spray tan?! Tonight is going to be amazing.
The movie adaptation of Wicked looks like it's picking up steam and some of Hollywood's big-time directors are reportedly vying to become the film's storytelling wizard. Producer Marc Platt, composer Stephen Schwart and bookwriter Winnie Holzman have meet with prospective directors who have thrown their metaphorical hats in the ring.
Deadline.com reports that Rob Marshall (Chicago), Ryan Murphy (Glee), JJ Abrams (Star Trek) and James Mangold (Walk the Line) have expressed interest in helming the project. Out of the four, Rob Marshall seems the obvious choice, but I'm rooting for J.J. Abrams to score the gig.
Wicked is the untold story of the witches of the land of Oz before Dorothy and Toto dropped in. The show tells the "true" story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch at magic school. The two form an unlikely friendship and change the landscape of Oz forever. The musical has won 26 major awards consisting of Grammys and Tony Awards. It premiered on Broadway on October 30, 2003 and has continued to play sold out shows at the Gershwin Theater ever since. Brian and I were fortunate enough to watch the West End production of the musical during our trip to London a couple years back. Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth originated the roles and provided spectacular vocals to the musical numbers.
