Two Thumbs Up for 'Forks Over Knives'
Forks Over Knives is not your typical flick about senseless killings and weapons of mass destruction—rather, it's about how people are killing themselves by eating dead animals and heavily processed garbage food.
Spoiler Alert: I don't want to give away the ending—especially since I haven't even seen it yet—but here's a hint: It has something to do with preventing, controlling, and even reversing degenerative diseases by going vegan.
Normally, I'm not crazy about "predictable" movies, but I think I'll make an exception for this one! The film, which features Rip Esselstyn—PETA's favorite vegan Texas firefighter and the author of The Engine 2 Diet—comes out in early March, but you can catch an advance showing in one of the many cities where it's being pre-screened. Take your friends—especially your meat-eating ones—because this movie is a bound to be a true life-changer.

Hey Irene- congrats on going vegan! It can be challenging at first, especially if you are the only vegan in the household. But keep pressing on, because you are doing the right thing!
I've been slowly transitioning to a vegan diet over the past month, which is hard in a house full of people where I'm the only vegan. However, even cutting back on my meat consumption while I transition has helped to alleviate a few of my symptoms from the autoimmune diseases I have. My doctor is on board with my diet transition as right now I'm on restricted exercise (I can walk, but that's it) and it's helping control my weight. It's my hope that by transitioning to the vegan diet I'll be able to avoid many of the pitfalls that my diseases, myasthenia gravis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, can present. I hope that with changes those in my support group will see in me that they will be inspired to go veg too!!!

ORANGE BEACH, Alabama -- Police have issued an arrest warrant for murder for John Christopher Washington in the shooting death of a friend on Marina Road early Wednesday morning.
Kenneth Gary Myers, 49, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Assistant Chief Greg Duck.
Washington, 41, was also shot and treated and released at South Baldwin Regional Medical Center in Foley.
"We're still trying to piece it together, it was one gun and two people shot," Duck said. "Both were under the influence."
The 1:30 a.m. shooting occurred at Washington's home and he called police after the shooting, Duck said.
If it turns out to be a homicide, the last murder in Orange Beach was five years ago, according to Duck.

The bridge that carries Route 130 over Turtle Creek between Monroeville and Trafford will be closed to traffic starting at 7 a.m. Monday.
PennDOT will put up a detour and begin the process of tearing down the Trafford Bridge and building a replacement, including sidewalks.
The new span won't open and restore the flow of traffic until November 2013.
"We are starting to think it will be bigger of a deal than we thought it would be," said Nate Kasprzyk, of Dom's Pizzeria.
"People will travel and do detours for great business and great service, so I'm not really worried about that," said Athena Coffey, of Hair Studio on 5th.

When it comes to hairstylists, Oribe is something of a bad boy. The tattooed star is known for working with the likes of Jennifer Lopez and plenty of other pop icons. That's why you should take his word for it that this cream is the difference between the usual out of control mop and a polished coif. The multitasking formula acts as both a leave-in conditioner and a styling cream, helping to calm and smooth coarse, thick, or fuller hair.
I live in an extremely dry climate and this really keeps my hair nicely moisturized all day with just a little bit. I am accustomed to using an assortment of creams and oils for control and moisture but they can flatten out hair pretty quickly. This product disappears into the hair without extra weight, greasiness or dullness. It is my favorite product of this type i have tried. It feels like a really absorbent lotion and there is no stickiness on your hands. I have a lot less static in my hair since i started using this and it is generally softer. A bonus is that heavenly Oribe smell.4
I was stunned at the quality of this product. I rarely use hair product (because "the do is tight"), but tried this one out and it's a winner. Pulls in all the strays, adds an awesome tone and shine to my hair. Upped my grooming game significantly. An expensive product, but the bottle will last a long time.5
Leaves hair REALLY soft and Shiny. This product probably works better for guys with longer hair, but guys with short hair would love this product too! Also, this stuff smells AMAZING. Before I ran out, everyone gave me compliments on how my hair smelled..I'll be buying the full size version.4
I normally don't like anything extra in my hair after washing and shampooing it, but this has earned a permanent place in my dopp bag. Not greasy, not shiny this stuff does wonders for my hair, and with such a tiny amount! The price might be high, but it's really worth every penny.5

The College of Staten Island will be the site of an "American Idol"-style performance on May 9.
The Independent Living Association (ILA), a not-for-profit organization that has been providing services for developmentally disabled adults since 1985, is sponsoring the competition, in which about 60 residents of the total 85 from the 10 community group residences on the Island will perform at the Willowbrook campus' Williamson Theater.
Event coordinator and parent liaison Phyllis Pearlmutter, who works for ILA, was inspired by her 21-year-old developmentally disabled son.
"You don't see that many things for young adults," she explained. "This will be a performance for the families."
With the support of families, she and Arthur Palevsky, executive Director of ILA, collaborated last fall to organize this event, called the Staten Island I.D.O.L.S. (Individuals Displaying Outstanding Levels of Success).
Of the rehearsals, Ms. Pearlmutter said, "there is a lot of positive energy. The adults are verbal and interactive, and they complement each other. They work as a group."
Each of the residences -- located in Rosebank, South Beach, three in Richmond Terrace, Annadale, Prince's Bay, Tottenville and two in Westerleigh -- will have their own three- to four-minute song-and-dance number. The participating residents range in age from their early 20s to 70.
As in "American Idol," judges will evaluate the performances. (Simon Cowell, alas, begged off.)
"They will all get a trophy. Everybody is going to win," said Mr. Palevsky.
The show will culminate in an ensemble performance by the residents.
"They have been enjoying themselves over these past five months," Ms. Pearlmutter reported. "The progression is fantastic."
The public is welcome to attend the 6 p.m. performance; tickets are $10, and donations are welcome.
"Because of problems with government funding, this will help get the message out to legislators," said Mr. Palevsky. "The money will be going into consumer-related events, which means that the residences will benefit."
For more information, call Ms. Pearlmutter at 718-948-6907 or Palevsky at 917-613-5622.

• Michigan Senate OKs ban on smoking in bars, restaurants
The stalemate over Michigan's proposed workplace, bar and restaurant smoking ban continues.
The state House again passed a bill Wednesday, by a 65-39 vote, that bans workplace smoking except at casinos, bingo halls and a few other places. It's at odds with a Senate-approved version that bans smoking inside all workplaces.
There can't be a new smoking ban law until the Democrat-led House and Republican-led Senate come to agreement on what it covers.
Casinos are the key sticking point. Detroit casinos don't want a smoking ban to include them because they feel it would put them at a competitive disadvantage compared to tribal or out-of-state casinos not covered by the ban.

A Drew Anderson sacrifice fly and a two-run single by Rashad Eldridge completed the eighth-inning scoring for the Biscuits.
Konrad Schmidt had an RBI for Mobile and Collin Cowgill had two RBIs and scored on a wild pitch. Jake Elmore added an RBI single in the ninth. The BayBears (45-40, 9-8) play the Biscuits today at 7:05 p.m.
COWGILL, SEPTIMO JOIN ALL-STARS: Mobile BayBears outfielder Collin Cowgill and relief pitcher Leyson Septimo have been added to the Southern League All-Star Game roster.
Cowgill and Septimo will play for the South Division All-Stars in Monday's game in Huntsville.
Cowgill leads the BayBears in home runs (10), RBIs (56) and doubles (24). He's also second in all of minor league baseball with 16 outfield assists.
Cowgill will join fellow Mobile outfielders Evan Frey and Ollie Linton as All-Stars, although Linton won't play due to a sore shoulder.
Septimo is in only his second full year as a pitcher after being converted from the outfield following the 2008 season. He's posted a 3.71 ERA in 24 appearances this year along with four saves. He has a bullpen-high 35 strikeouts in 26Ò innings.


text: The Visceral Games wiki last edited by Marino on 05/30/16 08:16PM View full history OverviewPrior to May 4, 2009, Visceral Games was known as EA Redwood Shores. Visceral Games shares a location with EA's corporate headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA. Visceral also keeps a branch office in Montreal, Canada; a former branch in Melbourne, Australia, was closed in September, 2011.Development HistoryDead Space is the most recent and name-making game franchise produced by Visceral games. Dead Space was pitched by the lead designer of Visceral Games to EA executives after getting tired of working on teen- or lower-rated titles. EA granted a small development team within Visceral Games a six month period in which to flesh out their design to demonstrate its potential as a full-scale production. Rather than going the traditional route of producing an in-depth design document for their game; Visceral created a vertical slice prototype of their game, which they decided to call Dead Space. The motivation behind this approach was that the team felt that tangible hands-on experience with a piece of their game would sell the game far better than would trying to merely describe it.The first Dead Space was released in 2008 and met with very positive reception both critically and commercially. As of August 3, 2010, EA reported that the game had sold upwards of 2 million copies. The game was acclaimed as a successful blend of survival horror and third-person shooting, a pairing spearheaded by Resident Evil 4, with modernizations for the current console generation. The game also introduced 'strategic dismemberment' as a central gameplay mechanic. Dead Space 2 launched in 2011 and has received a similarly positive reception. Critics have praised the game as a successful, archetypical sequel: more of what was good in the last game, less of what wasn't.

Hardest: Jungle
Easiest: Top or Mid, leaning towards top. You only have one way to mind for ganks.
Jungle, a good one anyway, has so many responsibilities. Keep track of buff timers, make sure your lanes aren't in need of help, keep track of baron and dragon, don't fall behind in your rotation, etc. Next would be ADC, dealing with harass and poking and all the while keeping up on CS.
I'll just have to get a full apology from you later.

Yeah but when your entire team is getting destroyed in every lane it's not so easy. You have to have the most map awareness and best overall game management.
MizunoRyuu 4 years ago#15
Without question, the easiest role is Support. Literally, the only thing you need to be able to do is protect your carry and know where to ward (which beyond early game every role should do anyway). Hardest is probably Jungler. you need to look after every lane and take risks to counterjungle. You also need to be able to exploit even the smallest gaps in the opponent's defense and capitalize on it hard. Not an easy feat by any stretch of the imagination.
Evelynn is my waifu.
Help... Me...
Hardest - Top (pick dependent, most liable to get jungle-camped)
Easiest - AD/Support (The trick is knowing when to engage and when not to engage - plus mechanics like last hitting/builds, etc.)
"Assume all cover will explode. And if it doesn't explode, expect aliens to throw grenades in order to fix that"

Hardest: Jungler - Your team will do stupid things, you will get blamed, and you'll be expected to gank every lane at the same time. Don't you dare EVER kill things in the jungle after the start of the game or you're a noob that never ganks even though you just ganked 1 minute ago and your ally watched you die.
Easiest: Top - You're not even playing a team game. You're on your own little island doing a 1v1 without a care in the world.

ya jungler
always get blamed regardless if its their fault or not, any lane gets outplayed? ---> try and help them
2 or 3 lanes outplayed? blame the jungler for not ganking all three lanes at the same time
Jungling is the hardest, by far.
I've been getting pretty good at counter jungling, which has made me understand how to protect myself from it.
However, sometimes you meet that jungler that is still trying to figure out exactly how to do it.. And you take wraiths every time they're up, and red buff every time it's up, and wolves every time it's up. You watch for when mid leaves lane and ambush them with your own mid as they are enroute to the blue buff, for an easy off-lane gank.
You LITERALLY shut down the jungler COMPLETELY. I've had enemy junglers end games at <70 CS in 30 minute games, while I have plenty of kills that came in the laning phase under 15 minutes.
No other role can shut down, quite literally, every other role in the game when played perfectly. Every role can carry, but jungler is the only one that's basically expected to do so...
Better yet, the biggest part of a jungler is something you can't quantify, and that's fear. A great jungler puts fear in his enemies and allows his lanes to free farm as the enemy is too afraid to jump on someone. As those lanes get a little more confident, you come by to gank, or threaten a tower dive, and instill that fear again. THAT is HUGE.
Now these points of data make a beautiful line, and we're out of beta we're releasing on time! So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned!

I have been playing chess for many years, but only just recently (the past couple years) have I begun serious study and a plan for improvement. I prefer OTB but have little time or opportunity for that. I find blitz games addictive but frustrating, and I usually don't do well with them. In online (i.e. correspondence) games, I freely use reference books, opening databases, and the analysis tool, but I never use a chess engine or an endgame database or tablebase.

Hazardous Chemical Storage
OSHA, EPA, NFPA, and UFC Regulations and
Guidelines You Must Follow
Flinn Scientific, Inc. supports the philosophy of the Manufacturing Chemists Association which states:
"Chemicals in any form can be safely stored, handled, or used if the physical, chemical, and hazardous properties are fully understood and the necessary precautions including the use of proper safeguards and personal protective equipment, are observed."
For years, the Flinn Scientific Catalog/Reference Manual has provided science teachers across the United States with detailed information on the chemicals they use. The physical, chemical, and hazardous properties are all fully explained. However, is your school using the proper safeguards and personal protective equipment necessary to protect you, your students, and the school building?
A common problem in many school science laboratories is how and where hazardous laboratory chemicals are stored. The solutions to the proper storage of hazardous laboratory chemicals are really quite simple.
A. Store minimum quantities. The less you have-the smaller your risk.
B. Separate and isolate your most serious hazards.
|Flinn Safe-Stor® Can,
Safe-Cube®, and Chem-Saf®
bags provide great secondary
Store Minimum Quantities
We urge you and your school to adopt a policy of only storing a two-year supply (or less) of your most serious hazardous chemicals. Flinn Scientific provides smaller package sizes for all of the hazardous chemicals you use. Smaller package sizes mean less risk. Smaller package sizes also mean fresher material. It's a fact that the fresher your chemicals, the better your experiments and demonstrations will work. Storing only small quantities of your most serious chemical hazards will solve many of your storage problems.
Separate and Isolate Your Most Serious Hazards
An effective way to minimize a chemical accident or "event" is to isolate your chemical hazards. Chemical compatibility and security are critical. The two types of chemical hazards with which you should be most concerned are corrosives (acids and bases) and flammable liquids. No single group of chemicals found on the entire school premises presents a greater threat to life and/or property. The improper storage of corrosives and flammable liquids is an "event" waiting to happen.
The most effective way to isolate your flammable and corrosive hazards is to store them properly in approved safety storage cabinets. Chemical safety storage cabinets isolate corrosives and flammable liquids from other incompatible chemicals, provide a higher level of security against theft and vandalism, and will contain and control the hazards should an "event" occur.
Common sense and good laboratory procedure tell us we should isolate corrosive and flammable liquids in approved safety storage cabinets. Federal and state laws, insurance companies, and other regulating agencies also dictate how hazardous chemicals must be stored.
Flinn Scientific has thoroughly reviewed all chemical storage regulations and guidelines. These regulations have been condensed into a brief easy-to-understand format. References have been provided should you wish to review the regulations in more detail. Regulations on chemical storage have been obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Uniform Fire Code (UFC), The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA). The following is a listing of the regulations you must follow if you wish to store corrosive or flammable liquids.
Secondary Containment
Secondary containment simply means that when a chemical spill develops the spill will be contained and controlled in a secondary area (i.e., specially designed safety storage cabinet) which will reduce the risk of chemical exposure, fire, explosion, etc. Several regulatory agencies have stated that "secondary containment" must be provided and that spill control procedures be adopted for hazardous chemicals.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA 1910.1450 Pages 385-386:
|Stockrooms/storerooms ... Chemicals which are highly toxic ... should be in unbreakable secondary containers."
OSHA 1910.1450 Page 387:
|"A spill control policy should be developed and should include consideration of prevention, containment, cleanup and reporting."
Environmental Protection Agency, EPA 264.175:
|Container storage area must have a containment system that is designed and operated in accordance with paragraph (b)."
|A containment system must be designed and operated as follows: (1) a base must underlie the containers which is free of cracks or gaps and is sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills ...
(3) The containment system must have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of containers or the volume of the largest container whichever is greater."
Secondary containment must be provided for all corrosives and flammable liquids. Flinn safety acid and flammable storage cabinets are ideal for the prevention of accidents and spills. Every Flinn safety storage cabinet has a liquid tight bottom trough which will contain and control your most serious spills. Flinn cabinets meet the requirements described above for secondary containment.
Segregated Chemical Storage
Corrosives and flammables should never be stored together. While common sense and the knowledge of chemical reactions tell us this, regulations on segregated chemical storage are quite specific.
Uniform Fire Code. UFC 80.301 (n):
"Storage of incompatible hazardous materials shall be separated. Separation shall be accomplished by ... Storing hazardous materials in storage cabinets ... Materials which are incompatible shall not be stored within the same cabinet."
National Fire Protection Association Comments following section 4-3.1:
"Finally, it must be remembered that these cabinets are designed and constructed for flammable and combustible liquid storage only ... incompatible materials, whether liquid or solid, should not be stored in these cabinets."
Corrosives (Acids and Bases)
Corrosive chemicals in a science laboratory are usually strong acids and/or bases. Inhalation of vapors or mists can cause severe bronchial irritation. Corrosive chemicals will severely damage the skin and eyes. OSHA regulation 1910.1450, "Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories," takes many of its recommendations from the book Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories which was published in 1981 by the National Research Council. The following excerpts are taken from this book.
Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories, Page 38:
"Bottles of corrosive liquids should be stored in acid containers ... To ensure that mutually reactive chemicals cannot accidentally contact one another, such substances should be stored in corrosion-resistant secondary containers."
Flinn acid cabinets are constructed entirely of 1" thick, high density, 9-ply plywood-making them completely corrosion-resistant. No metal is used anywhere in the interior construction of Flinn acid cabinets. Beware of metal acid cabinets or acid cabinets which use corrosion resistant hardware. These types of cabinets, because of the acid fumes, are guaranteed to corrode over time.
Fire-The Greatest Fear
While the proper storage of corrosives is important, much more concern has been placed on how flammable liquids should be stored and the best way to reduce the risk of fire.
What is a flammable or combustible liquid? The National Fire Protection Association defines flammable and combustible liquids as follows:
National Fire Protection Association. NFPA #30:
"Flammable liquid
Class I Flash point below 100 °F (37.8 °C)
Combustible liquid
Class II Flash point above 100 °F (37.8 °C) and below 140 °F (60 °C)
Class III Flash point above 140 °F (60 °C)"
Flash point is the temperature at which a liquid or volatile solid gives off a vapor sufficient to form an ignitable mixture with the air. Chemical solvents like ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol are commonly used in school science laboratories and are all considered Class I flammable liquids.
Both the Uniform Fire Code and the National Fire Protection Association have regulations specifying when flammable liquids should be stored in an approved flammables safety storage cabinet.
Uniform Fire Code. UFC 79.202A(2):
"In group A occupancies used as classrooms or laboratories ... flammable and combustible liquids are allowed to be stored in amounts necessary for use in demonstration ... or laboratory work ... When quantities exceed 10 gallons, storage shall be in cabinets in accordance with section 79.202 (C)."
National Fire Protection Association. NFPA #30 Section 45.4.2:
"Not more than 10 gallons of Class I or Class II liquids combined shall be stored ... outside a safety storage cabinet."

Although Millersburg's string of postseason appearances was halted last season after seven straight runs to the playoffs, Brad Hatter's Indians genuinely believe they can bounce back from a sub-.500 performance in 2013 and contend for all sorts of things. With most of a tight-knit squad still sporting maroon-and-gold jerseys — and prodded by a 10-man senior class — a turnaround is possible for a program that graduated just five players. Below is their Countdown to Kickoff preview.
School Name:Millersburg Indians
Coach: Brad Hatter
Last Year: 3-7, 3-6 Tri-Valley
Last 5 Years: 33-25
Returning Starters: 8 on offense, 8 on defense
Key Players: WR/OLB Ethan Troutman; OL/DL Cole Hoover; RB/LB Connor Keim; OL/DL Austin Simpkins; RB/LB Austin Marks; RB/DL Lukas Cassel; RB/DB Austin Lehman; OL/LB Austin Hoke; RB/LB Tylor Erdman; WR/DB Tyler Hesen; QB/DB Christian Wingard; RB/LB Cole Shomper.
Offense Overview: While the Indians have relied on the run-happy Navy spread as a way to move the football consistently and offset their typical size deficiencies, the mere presence of the strong-armed Wingard has Hatter thinking about airing things out more frequently. Particularly since the sophomore lefty has some quality backs and receivers with good wheels to choose from. That tactical plan also might allow the Indians more time to get things in order up front, where Hatter and his staff are working hard to locate the right pieces to plug in alongside cornerstones Hoover, Simpkins and Hoke.
Defense Overview: Roughed up by a number of the TVL's bigger and more-explosive attacks, Hatter believes the even front he's planning to employ suits the experienced group led by Hoover that should work the trenches. And with several backers in place for the third and even the fourth year in a row such as Keim and Marks, he just wants to see that unit have the chance to make plays and author stops. These guys on this side of the ball must pick it up if the Indians hope to take strides forward and turn things around.
Biggest Games: August 29 vs. Tri-Valley. With his Indians needing to collar an early scalp to generate confidence and build momentum, Hatter hopes his club can take down his alma mater at home in a Week 1 league game that isn't a league game.
Early remarks: "I think we're more mentally prepared and stronger this year. We have a lot more guys in the weight room and a lot more guys showed up for open gyms and stuff. So, I think we're ready." — Hoover
"Like [Cole] said, I think we're a lot stronger than last year — especially up front on the line. That kind of hurt us a little last year. We're more focused because our record was 3-7 last year. That's not Millersburg football, so that's not gonna happen again. We're ready to go." — Troutman
"One of the things is I appreciate the leadership these guys are bringing to our program. We had a certain schedule coming into the season, but they took the initiative when we weren't in the weight room to go out and run some plays and do things like that. They organized different things. And that's something you want to see out of your team is the kids taking the ownership and showing the initiative and leadership. And honestly, I don't think we had that the last couple years and that's a tribute to these guys and how they are as people and their desire to not want to be 3-7. This is what that's going to take." — Hatter
More Millersburg Indians:2014 schedule | 2014 roster
BULLOCK'S CRYSTAL BALL: With numbers (26) mighty, mighty thin yet again — even with the senior class cracking double digits — the Tribe must avoid a string of injuries. That said, few teams in the small-school TVL have the depth necessary to overcome a series of personnel losses. Regardless, if Hatter & Co. hope to get this program back to the top of the TVL and return to the District 3-A playoffs, a quick start is an absolute must. And while that won't be easy since hammers Tri-Valley and Williams Valley will be waiting in Weeks 1 and 2, the favorable news is both of those games will be at home. One of those teams no one will overlook.

WASHINGTON — Ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (kim jawng oon) doesn't want war with the United States. He just wants President Barack Obama to call him.
Rodman, the highest-profile American to meet Kim since Kim took power in December 2011, says Obama and Kim share a love of basketball, so "let's start there."
Rodman is just back from a visit to North Korea with the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team and spent two days with Kim.
The State Department on Friday distanced itself from Rodman's visit.
The trip took place amid strained ties between the U.S. and North Korea over the North's recent underground nuclear test.
Rodman spoke on ABC's "This Week."

So I was listening to some old Jillian Michaels podcasts -- I disagree with a lot of her ideas, but I admire her ferocity and passion, and she does deviate from CW more often than most mainstream people I've read. Anyway, she was talking about artificial sweeteners and how bad they are for you -- specifically, aspartame and saccharin. It's always been in the back of my mind to give them up, especially my diet soda habit. I've fallen off the PB wagon twice now, and I think it's because I try to change my entire life at once, which doesn't work for me. So I've decided that artificial sweeteners (most especially asparetame, saccharin, and splenda) are gone. When I've been two weeks off those things and feel ready, the next step is wheat, which might take longer than 2 weeks to give up fully.
So I'm having issues with what to drink! I'm diabetic, so juices are totally out. Even watered down, wasting 8-10g of my carbs (and insulin) on juice seems dumb. I drink a LOT. I tend to drink water all day as a teacher, but when I'm eating a meal, I prefer something with taste. I can't do tea; I've tried every tea I can possibly find and I really hate hate hate hot drinks. And I can't seem to make a palatable glass of iced tea :(
I accidentally bought a huge can of Arizona diet green tea because I didn't recognize sucrulose as splenda :(

from John Lloyd:
Here's who should be watching the watchers
The files stolen from the National Security Agency by Edward Snowden, the quiet American who has turned the security world inside out, drip out week by week – in The Guardian, on the new website The Intercept, financed by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, in the German weekly Spiegel and in the Washington Post. The last of these outlets had the latest installment on Monday. It told us that "ordinary Internet users, American and non-American alike" had been swept into the NSA's computers in far greater numbers than foreigners reasonably suspected of possible terrorist links.
from The Great Debate:
Don't let data protection turn into protectionism
We live in a global, digitally networked world. Cloud, mobile and in-memory technologies are its engines. Our new world has no boundaries; there is a huge potential for growth, employment and new business models. But it also comes with challenges for policy and industry.
from The Great Debate:
Broaden the German-U.S. dialogue about snooping
Germans are not naive: They know that states spy, and that attempts to listen in to Chancellor Angela Merkel's conversations were to be expected. But they didn't expect that the United States would do this, for a decade.
from Ian Bremmer:
An optimist's view of the White House
What will the White House screw up next? Democrats have watched as one calamity after another has befallen what was once the most promising Democratic administration since John F. Kennedy's. Obamacare, the NSA, Syria, heck, even the administration's campaign foibles are back in the news with the publication of the new tell-all book Double Down.
from Mark Leonard:
The NSA and the weakness of American power
The NSA scandal over phone tapping in Europe will soon blow over, conventional wisdom says. Jack Shafer has argued that, although allied leaders such as Angela Merkel are upset, they will (and have to) get over it.
from Jack Shafer:
Yes, we spy on allies. Want to make something of it?
If not yet the consensus opinion, by tomorrow morning most everyone with a keyboard and a connection to the Internet who isn't also a head of state will concede that the ally-on-ally spying by the United States -- revealed in documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden to Der Spiegel -- won't matter much in the long run.
from MacroScope:
Trust me, I'm with Google
Hal Varian, Google's chief economist, is unsurprisingly an advocate of data extraction and analysis on a mass scale – you'd almost have to be, as data-cruncher-in-chief of a company whose search engine was tapped a billion times just since this morning.
from Jack Shafer:
The NSA never takes "no" for an answer
At several recent junctures, the U.S. government has publicly sought to expand its power and control over the electronic privacy of its citizens. At each point, the government was roundly foiled by the public and the majority of the political class, which rebuked it. But that has evidently never stopped the government from imposing its will surreptitiously. As the reporting of the New York Times, ProPublica, and the Guardian about the National Security Agency's programs exposed by Edward Snowden showed once again yesterday, when the government really wants something, it can be temporarily denied but rarely foiled.
from Jack Shafer:
How to leak and not get caught
If U.S. prosecutors ever get their hands on Edward Snowden, they'll play such a tympanic symphony on his skull he'll wish his hands never touched a computer keyboard. Should U.S. prosecutors fail, U.S. diplomats will squeeze -- as they did in Hong Kong -- until he squirts from his hiding place and scurries away in search of a new sanctuary. But even if he finds asylum in a friendly nation, his reservation will last only as long as a sympathetic regime is calling the shots. Whether he ends up in Venezuela or some other country that enjoys needling the United States, he'll forever be one election or one coup away from extradition.

Filibuster Launches Davis Onto National Stage
State Sen. Wendy Davis has held the Texas spotlight before. But Tuesday night's marathon abortion filibuster propelled her into the national spotlight.
By the time the Senate unsuccessfully forced the vote on some of the nation's strictest abortion regulations, the 13 hours Davis had spent on her feet challenging the measure had gone viral, drawing praise on social media from President Obama, U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and celebrities like author Judy Blume and actors Lena Dunham and Henry Winkler.
"I have never seen a Texas senator suddenly make world news over the course of 13 hours," said ...

Police: Man dead after hut fireFebruary 07,2013ST. ALBANS The St. Albans police department says a homeless man was found dead after fire destroyed a small hut on the edge of the Vermont city.
An autopsy is being conducted on the body of 54-year-old Richard Poquette to determine the cause of death, but police say the body had severe burns when it was found late Tuesday afternoon and indications are it was an accidental fire death, which may have been started by a burning candle.
Police were called to a wooded area, about 100 yards from North Main Street, at about 4:10 p.m. Thursday after a caller reported finding a body. Poquettes body was found outside the hut, which had been destroyed by fire and was still smoldering.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER A new coalition of 18 organizations said Wednesday it will push lawmakers and a new...

FIGHTING THE WATER: Search and Rescue personnel struggle to reach a kayaker trapped under swift water Wednesday on the White Salmon River.
Klickitat County Search and Rescue (SAR) along with other rescue agencies ventured out this last week on another perilous mission, but unlike an expedition earlier in the summer, this one ended in tragedy.
At about 8 p.m. last Wednesday, Aug. 1, Klickitat County 911 Dispatch received a report of a kayaker who had become wedged underwater in a log jam on the White Salmon River, about two miles north of BZ Corner.
SAR team members responded and assessed the situation. The location was in a stretch of heavy rapids, within a 100-foot Gorge, shanked by cliffs in an area with very limited access. The victim was identified as 27-year-old Christopher Alan Schwer of Morgantown, W.V. Schwer had been kayaking with local friends when the accident occurred.
Nineteen volunteers from Klickitat County SAR, five from Skamania County's Wind River SAR and seven trained water-rescue staff from Wet Planet rafting joined together, forming water rescue, rope rescue and rough-land evacuation teams, and launched a recovery mission Thursday morning. The teams deployed three different rope systems—two at water's edge and one from the cliff above. Through the efforts of volunteers trained in high angle and swift water rescue, the body was recovered at about 7 p.m. Thursday evening.
In all, 31 volunteers were involved in the mission. Jeff King, Klickitat County Search and Rescue Coordinator, stated, "It was an impressive collaboration, coming together to be able to accomplish this mission."
Anyone interested in volunteering for SAR is asked to call (509) 773-4455.

Protein Folding/Misfolding, Amyloids, and Neurodegenerative Diseases
My research focuses on understanding the mechanism of protein misfolding diseases, amyloidosis, by various techniques including biochemical, biophysical, molecular, and cellular methods. Our long-term goal is to elucidate the disease mechanisms of amyloidoses with the aspects of protein folding and structure, pathogenic protein interactions, and relate the results to the medical consequences. We further utilize the knowledge to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic means. Many ageing-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Huntington's disease (HD) belong to amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is caused by aggregation of misfolded proteins to form amyloid fibrils comprised of specific cross-β structures. Amyloid oligomers that existed in several neurodegenerative diseases imply a common toxicity mechanism in different neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, we are working on several amyloids and their interacting partners in the neurodegenerative diseases including amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau, the main constituents of senile plaques and tangles, in AD, α-synuclein, the component of Lewy bodies in PD, and TDP-43, a novel inclusion found in a subtype of frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD-U) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We start from elucidating structural conversion and aggregation mechanism of such aggregation and further develop their antibodies and small molecule inhibitors. Moreover, we investigate the glycosylation effect on these proteins and interacting partners. The major research interests are listed as follows:
- Protein folding and misfolding of amyloids in neurodegenerative diseases.
- Amyloid protein oligomerization and the toxicity mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.
- Amyloid modifiers and glycosylation effect.
- Drug screening, diagnostic, and therapeutic developments in neurodegenerative diseases.

Last week President Obama said he would not send United States military forces to Iraq, but he is considering several other options, including drone strikes and satellite monitoring.
This question of involvement came about after the al-Qaida-inspired group, Islamic state of Iraq and the Levant overran Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul, Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit and other smaller communities, as well as military and police bases.
Check out what our readers have been saying about this possible involvement:
There was never any "weapons of mass destruction." If only Saddam Hussein didn't try to undermine the dollar and the plan. He would still be alive and in power, his sons would still be alive. All the thousands of American lives wouldn't have been lost. And all the taxpayer liable money would not have been wasted. It never mattered if a dictator is in office and people are being oppressed. What matters is, if said leader goes against the plan. Khadafi went against the plan too. Al Assad is temporarily being protected by Russia.
Obama may go in for show, but not for necessity. Whoever gets in power, doesn't matter if they are extremist. So long as they don't go against the plan, they may be safe.
I don't know WHAT to believe. Every time his lips move he's lying.
He won't and we shouldn't go anywhere near Iraq. What, are we going to repeat our brilliant success of our first invasion by destabilizing the region even more?
Obama will never send troops. I hate to say it, but I agree with him. Sadly we lost enough killed and maimed troops. It's time to let the Middle-east solve it's own problems. We are being invaded by illegal children, with no weapons. If Obama can't stop this onslaught, how can he be expected to stop ISIS?
Iraqi forces supposedly outnumber the terrorists 15 to 1, yet they are throwing down their weapons and running. Sending our troops back will only delay the inevitable.
I heard him say that his team is "working around the clock", but I did not hear him say "I will not rest" or "let me be clear" or "make no mistake" or "the wrong side of history" or "phony scandal" or "what I have said is ...".
So, it too soon to tell how he will "lead from behind".
Of course he won't send U.S. troops to Iraq. He will send weapons and munitions. The Iraqi army is deserting and throwing down their weapons and Al-qaeda is picking up all the weapons. Obama needs to set up a supply line so Al-qaeda will have a constant supply of weapons and munitions. BO is NOT one of U.S.
Invading Iraq back in 2003 was such a stupid idea. But about 70% of the American public was for it. The voters in this country are so stupid. But they don't care because it doesn't affect them. All this death and destruction we caused in that country. We should be ashamed of ourselves. It might come back to bite us.
Talisman2 days ago
Most of the free world has yet to witness the horror of Muslim extremism, but it's coming. If you have read the Islamic doctrine you would understand that. This is a war we must win along with our partnerships around the world. We must organize like we did during the Allied invasion of WW2. In Iwo Jima alone we sent 30,000 marines and lost almost 7,000 of then just for one little island. A greater fighting force is needed to combat an extreme ideological religion that has plans to take over the whole world. Russia China and Europe all fear these extremist. We need to break down old barriers and work together to eradicate the jihadist that will be coming to destroy us.

"You want it. You got it."Jess Meuse didn't waste any words tonight when the performance theme was announced on "American Idol. Fans had suggested songs for her via Twitter, and Meuse was giving two of them her best shot.
The rock singer from Slapout, 23, might never be the warm and fuzzy type. But she's been given a makeover on the Fox reality series that's softened her spiky image and made Meuse seem much more approachable.
That's a very good thing, especially when she's competing as one of the top five finalists on the show. The remaining hopefuls are vying for a spot in the May 20 finals, and every moment on camera counts.
Here's the latest on Meuse, as seen on the 7 p.m. broadcast.
This week's theme: "America's Choice." Fans recommended songs for the favorites on Twitter, and those #IdolRequest tweets were culled into short lists for the contestants. Producers made the initial cut, then turned the lists over to the finalists. Each singer picked two tunes for tonight's performances.
What she sang: "Human" by Christina Perri and "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey. "Human," a power ballad with pop underpinnings, hit the charts in winter 2013. It served as the lead-off single for Perri's freshly minted album, "Head or Heart." Del Rey, a modern-day torch singer, included "Summertime Sadness" on her 2012 album, "Born to Die." She's described her style as "Hollywood sadcore."
What Meuse said: "There's so much more to performing than I ever thought there would be." During her rehearsal with this week's mentor, Jason Mraz, she focused on stage dynamics and body language.
What the judges said about "Human": All three were puppy-uppers, emphasizing the positives and downplaying any negatives. Keith Urban called Meuse "country cool," echoing a comment from Mraz. Harry Connick Jr. praised Meuse's work ethic, noting that she took constructive criticism seriously and made sincere efforts to improve. Jennifer Lopez offered support and kudos, saying Meuse "had a moment" with the song.
What the judges said about "Summertime Sadness": Mixed reactions, ranging from enthusiasm (Connick) to chilliness (Lopez). "You have an incredible voice," Connick said. "It was a perfect marriage of voice and song. Congratulations." Urban enjoyed the "David Lynch mysticism" of the performance, but said Meuse still wasn't making a full-on connection to the lyrics. He urged her to "emotionally and dramatically lean into the song." Lopez wasn't pleased, but she couched it in JLo-speak. "It left me a tiny bit cold," Lopez said. "I want you to dig in more, performance-wise."
Critical reaction, "Human": The band arrangement was striking, making the most of a lovely string quartet. Meuse had a few pitch problems at the start, then redeemed herself by soaring into the chorus. The song took flight, transforming into an inspirational anthem tinged with sadness and hope. Meuse played rhythm guitar on this one, but her instrumental contributions seemed minimal -- and frankly, almost beside the point. (Can you say "security blanket"?) Overall, though, she did a fine job.
Critical reaction, "Summertime Sadness": An inspired choice for Meuse, attributed to Amanda Rivera, a fan from Brownsville, Texas. Meuse plunged into the song with passion and skill, using her Stevie Nicks vibrato to advantage. She injected a sense of drama into the lyrics, but never went over the top. Visually? Not the most exciting performance. (Well, aside from that leg-baring pose at the start.) Vocally? She nailed it.
Bonus: Meuse performed a duet with retro-rocker Caleb Johnson, covering the Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden." It really worked! Two powerful voices blended nicely, and the singers had a natural chemistry. Johnson brought out Meuse's playful side -- viewers haven't seen that before -- and she seemed relaxed and comfortable. Maybe Meuse and Johnson should consider a career as a duo? Or at the very least, lock in the song for the "Idol" tour.
What's next: Viewers will vote for their favorites in several ways, including a method linked to Google searches. One singer will be eliminated on the May 1 episode, which airs at 8 p.m. CST.

An Oklahoma teacher was arrested on her first day on the job after showing up to school drunk and without pants.
Lorie Ann Hill, 49, made quite the first impression at her new job at Wagoner High School on Monday, The Daily Mail reported.
Officials at the school called the police at 9 a.m. on Monday to report that Hill had been found slumped over a desk in an empty classroom that she claimed was her own. The woman allegedly smelled of alcohol and wasn't wearing any pants.
"She was found in a room kind of disoriented," Police Chief Bob Haley told Tulsa World. "By the time we got there she was in a room and wearing shorts."
Two teachers found her, brought her to the principal's office and managed to get her into a pair of shorts. According to Fox 23, Hill had entered the building and taken her pants off somewhere inside.
During a police interview, Hill admitted that she had been drinking in her car before entering the building. Police found an empty cup that smelled like vodka inside her car.
Hill commuted nearly 40 miles to work that morning from Claremore, but Haley said there wasn't enough evidence to prove she had driven drunk, and there were no "credible witnesses" at her home.
Hill had just been hired by the Wagoner school district, where classes started Thursday.
She was arrested and booked in Wagoner City Jail on suspicion of public intoxication, CBS Houston reported. She was released from police custody by Tuesday evening.
"I don't know," said Frank Sandiford, a parent of a Wagoner student. "As an adult, I just don't know how you can be a professional teacher and teaching young people, and then show up drunk."
The district did not comment on the arrest to Fox 23 because they do not discuss personnel matters.
Watch the Fox 23 video report below.

HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, MI -- Three people were injured Wednesday afternoon when a car collided with another vehicle pulling out of a driveway on 120th Avenue, police said.
The crash happened about 12:40 p.m. on 120th Avenue near Union Street, south Felch Street.
Ottawa County sheriff's deputies said the driver of one vehicle, 26-year-old Robert Mekkes, of Wyoming, was trapped in his vehicle and extricated by firefighters. He was taken to Holland Hospital.
Deputies said Mekkes was pulling out of a driveway on the west side of 120th Avenue when his vehicle was hit by a southbound vehicle.
Two people in the southbound vehicle, 62-year-old Enrigueta Martinez and 41-year-old Adelina Perez, were taken to Zeeland Hospital for their injuries.
Mekkes told police he did not see the other vehicle because his view was blocked by a southbound car turning into the same driveway he was exiting.

text: My name is Bill Weinzimmer and I am an advanced prostate cancer survivor. When I was diagnosed 18 years ago, I was told I only had 18 months to live. Thanks to the amazing care I received from Dr. Simon J. Hall at The Mount Sinai Hospital, and the significant changes I made in my life, I am still alive and active 18 years later at 83-years-young. I hope my experiences and tips will provide inspiration to others diagnosed with cancer, as well as to their families.
