Hot tub poll shows Republicans don't like their politicians: Election Night Wasn't a GOP Victory, It was a Democratic Rout
By Dave Lindorff
The sclerotic Democratic Party was trounced yet again yesterday, as Republicans outdid projections and appear to have taken at least seven Senate seats away from the Democrats, giving them control of the both houses of Congress.
Prof. Boyle may be wrong, but he may be right: With a Government this Vile and This Secretive We Need to Ask Questions
By Dave Lindorff
A few days ago, I published a short story linking to a PRN.fm radio interview PRN.fm radio interview I did with noted international law attorney Francis Boyle, whom I pointed out was a drafter of the US Biological Weapons and Anti-Terrorism Act passed into law in 1981, which supposedly barred the United States from continuing to keep or to develop new germ warfare weapons.
Boyle told me, on last Wednesday's radio program "This Can't Be Happening!," that he believes the Zaire Ebola strain that is wracking Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea in west Africa, originally came from one of several BSL4-level bio-research labs operated in those countries and funded by a combination of the Center for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health and the US Defense Department, perhaps because of testing of Ebola being conducted there, or because of some containment breach.
U.S. Sends Planes Armed with Depleted Uranium to Middle East
There's a version of this story at Al Jazeera.
The U.S. Air Force says it is not halting its use of Depleted Uranium weapons, has recently sent them to the Middle East, and is prepared to use them.
A type of airplane, the A-10, deployed this month to the Middle East by the U.S. Air National Guard's 122nd Fighter Wing, is responsible for more Depleted Uranium (DU) contamination than any other platform, according to the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW). "Weight for weight and by number of rounds more 30mm PGU-14B ammo has been used than any other round," said ICBUW coordinator Doug Weir, referring to ammunition used by A-10s, as compared to DU ammunition used by tanks.
Public affairs superintendent Master Sgt. Darin L. Hubble of the 122nd Fighter Wing told me that the A-10s now in the Middle East along with "300 of our finest airmen" have been sent there on a deployment planned for the past two years and have not been assigned to take part in the current fighting in Iraq or Syria, but "that could change at any moment."
The crews will load PGU-14 depleted uranium rounds into their 30mm Gatling cannons and use them as needed, said Hubble. "If the need is to explode something -- for example a tank -- they will be used."
Pentagon spokesman Mark Wright told me, "There is no prohibition against the use of Depleted Uranium rounds, and the [U.S. military] does make use of them. The use of DU in armor-piercing munitions allows enemy tanks to be more easily destroyed."
On Thursday, several nations, including Iraq, spoke to the United Nations First Committee, against the use of Depleted Uranium and in support of studying and mitigating the damage in already contaminated areas. A non-binding resolution is expected to be voted on by the Committee this week, urging nations that have used DU to provide information on locations targeted. A number of organizations are delivering a petition to U.S. officials this week urging them not to oppose the resolution.
In 2012 a resolution on DU was supported by 155 nations and opposed by just the UK, U.S., France, and Israel. Several nations have banned DU, and in June Iraq proposed a global treaty banning it -- a step also supported by the European and Latin American Parliaments.
Wright said that the U.S. military is "addressing concerns on the use of DU by investigating other types of materials for possible use in munitions, but with some mixed results. Tungsten has some limitations in its functionality in armor-piercing munitions, as well as some health concerns based on the results of animal research on some tungsten-containing alloys. Research is continuing in this area to find an alternative to DU that is more readily accepted by the public, and also performs satisfactorily in munitions."
"I fear DU is this generation's Agent Orange," U.S. Congressman Jim McDermott told me. "There has been a sizable increase in childhood leukemia and birth defects in Iraq since the Gulf War and our subsequent invasion in 2003. DU munitions were used in both those conflicts. There are also grave suggestions that DU weapons have caused serious health issues for our Iraq War veterans. I seriously question the use of these weapons until the U.S. military conducts a full investigation into the effect of DU weapon residue on human beings."
Doug Weir of ICBUW said renewed use of DU in Iraq would be "a propaganda coup for ISIS." His and other organizations opposed to DU are guardedly watching a possible U.S. shift away from DU, which the U.S. military said it did not use in Libya in 2011. Master Sgt. Hubble of the 122nd Fighter Wing believes that was simply a tactical decision. But public pressure had been brought to bear by activists and allied nations' parliaments, and by a UK commitment not to use DU.
DU is classed as a Group 1 Carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and evidence of health damage produced by its use is extensive. The damage is compounded, Jeena Shah at the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) told me, when the nation that uses DU refuses to identify locations targeted. Contamination enters soil and water. Contaminated scrap metal is used in factories or made into cooking pots or played with by children.
CCR and Iraq Veterans Against the War have filed a Freedom of Information Act Request in an attempt to learn the locations targeted in Iraq during and after the 1991 and 2003 assaults. The UK and the Netherlands have revealed targeted locations, Shah pointed out, as did NATO following DU use in the Balkans. And the United States has revealed locations it targeted with cluster munitions. So why not now?
"For years," Shah said, "the U.S. has denied a relationship between DU and health problems in civilians and veterans. Studies of UK veterans are highly suggestive of a connection. The U.S. doesn't want studies done." In addition, the United States has used DU in civilian areas and identifying those locations could suggest violations of Geneva Conventions.
Iraqi doctors will be testifying on the damage done by DU before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commissionin Washington, D.C., in December.
Meanwhile, the Obama Administration said on Thursday that it will be spending $1.6 million to try to identify atrocities committed in Iraq . . . by ISIS.

A Different War-Is-Good-For-Us Argument
It seems like we just got through dealing with the argument that war is good for us because it brings peace. And along comes a very different twist, combined with some interesting insights. Here's a blog post by Joshua Holland on Bill Moyers' website.
"War has long been seen as an endeavor urged on by the elites who stood the most to gain from conflict – whether to protect overseas assets, create more favorable conditions for international trade or by selling materiel for the conflict – and paid for with the blood of the poor, the cannon fodder who serve their country but have little direct stake in the outcome.
". . . MIT political scientist Jonathan Caverley, author of Democratic Militarism Voting, Wealth, and War, and himself a US Navy veteran, argues that increasingly high-tech militaries, with all-volunteer armies that sustain fewer casualties in smaller conflicts, combine with rising economic inequality to create perverse incentives that turn the conventional view of war on its head. . . .
"Joshua Holland: Your research leads to a somewhat counterintuitive conclusion. Can you give me your thesis in a nutshell?
"Jonathan Caverley: My argument is that in a heavily industrialized democracy like the United States, we have developed a very capital intensive form of warfare. We no longer send millions of combat troops overseas – or see massive numbers of casualties coming home. Once you start going to war with lots of airplanes, satellites, communications – and a few very highly trained special operations forces — going to war becomes a check writing exercise rather than a social mobilization. And once you turn war into a check writing exercise, the incentives for and against going to war change.
"You can think of it as a redistribution exercise, where people who have less income generally pay a smaller share of the cost of war. This is especially important at the federal level. In the United States, the federal government tends to be funded largely from the top 20 percent. Most of the federal government, I'd say 60 percent, maybe even 65 percent, is financed by the wealthy.
"For most people, war now costs very little in terms of both blood and treasure. And it has a redistributive effect.
"So my methodology is pretty simple. If you think that your contribution to conflict will be minimal, and see potential benefits, then you should see an increased demand for defense spending and increased hawkishness in your foreign policy views, based on your income. And my study of Israeli public opinion found that the less wealthy a person was, the more aggressive they were in using the military."
Presumably Caverley would acknowledge that U.S. wars tend to be one-sided slaughters of people living in poor nations, and that some fraction of people in the United States are aware of that fact and oppose wars because of it. Presumably he is also aware that U.S. troops still die in U.S. wars and are still drawn disproportionately from the poor. Presumably he is also aware (and presumably he makes all of this clear in his book, which I have not read) that war remains extremely profitable for an extremely elite group at the top of the U.S. economy. Weapons stocks are at record heights right now. A financial advisor on NPR yesterday was recommending investing in weapons. War spending, in fact, takes public money and spends it in a way that very disproportionately benefits the extremely wealthy. And while public dollars are progressively raised, they are far less progressively raised than in the past. War-preparations spending is in fact part of what drives the inequality that Caverley says drives low-income support for wars. What Caverley means by his claim that war is (downwardly) redistributive is made a bit clearer further on in the interview:
"Holland: In the study you point out that most social scientists don't see military spending as having a redistributive effect. I didn't understand that. What some call "military Keynesianism" is a concept that's been around for a long time. We located a ton of military investments in the Southern states, not only for defense purposes, but also as a means of regional economic development. Why don't people see this as a massive redistribution program?
"Caverley: Well, I agree with that construction. If you watch any congressional campaign or you look at any representative's communication with his or her constituents, you will see that they talk about getting their fair share of defense spending.
"But the larger point is that even if you don't think about defense spending as a redistributive process, it is a classic example of the kind of public goods that a state provides. Everyone benefits from defense of the state – it's not just rich people. And so national defense is probably one of the places you're most likely to see redistributive politics, because if you're not paying too much for it, you're going to ask for more of it."
So, at least part of the idea seems to be that wealth is being moved from wealthy geographical sections of the United States to poorer ones. There is some truth to that. But the economics is quite clear that, as a whole, military spending produces fewer jobs and worse paying jobs, and has less overall economic benefit, than education spending, infrastructure spending, or various other types of public spending, or even tax cuts for working people -- which are by definition downwardly redistributive as well. Now, military spending can drain an economy and be perceived as boosting an economy, and the perception is what determines support for militarism. Similarly, routine "normal" military spending can carry on at a pace of over 10-times specific war spending, and the general perception on all sides of U.S. politics can be that it is the wars that cost large amounts of money. But we should acknowledge the reality even when discussing the impacts of the perception.
And then there's the notion that militarism benefits everyone, which conflicts with the reality that war endangers the nations that wage it, that "defense" through wars is in fact counter-productive. This, too, should be acknowledged. And perhaps -- though I doubt it -- that acknowledgement is made in the book.
Polls show generally diminishing support for wars except in particular moments of intense propaganda. If in those moments it can be shown that low-income U.S.ians are carrying a larger load of war support, that should indeed be examined -- but without assuming that war supporters have good reason for giving their support. Indeed, Caverley offers some additional reasons why they might be misguided:
"Holland: Let me ask you about a rival explanation for why poor people might be more supportive of military action. In the paper, you mention the idea that less wealthy citizens may be more prone to buy into what you call the "myths of empire." Can you unpack that?
"Caverley: In order for us to go to war, we have to demonize the other side. It's not a trivial thing for one group of people to advocate killing another group of people, no matter how callous you think humanity might be. So there is typically a lot of threat inflation and threat construction, and that just goes with the territory of war.
"So in my business, some people think that the problem is that elites get together and, for selfish reasons, they want to go to war. That's true whether it's to preserve their banana plantations in Central America or sell weapons or what have you.
"And they create these myths of empire — these inflated threats, these paper tigers, whatever you want to call it — and try to mobilize the rest of the country to fight a conflict that may not necessarily be in their interest.
"If they were right, then you would actually see that people's foreign policy views – their idea of how great a threat is — would correlate with income. But once you control for education, I didn't find that these views differed according to what your wealth or income is."
This seems a little off to me. There is no question that Raytheon executives and the elected officials they fund will see more sense in arming both sides of a war than the average person of any income or education level will tend to see. But those executives and politicians are not a statistically significant group when talking broadly about the rich and poor in the United States. Most war profiteers, moreover, are likely to believe their own myths, at least when speaking with pollsters. That low-income Americans are misguided is no reason to imagine that upper-income Americans are not misguided too. Caverley also says:
"What was interesting to me is that one of the best predictors of your desire to spend money on defense was your desire to spend money on education, your desire to spend money on healthcare, your desire to spend money on roads. I was really shocked by the fact that there is not much of a 'guns and butter' tradeoff in the minds of most respondents in these public opinion polls."
This seems exactly right. No large number of Americans has managed in recent years to make the connection between Germany spending 4% of U.S. levels on its military and offering free college, between the U.S. spending as much as the rest of the world combined on war preparations and leading the wealthy world in homelessness, food-insecurity, unemployment, imprisonment, and so on. This is in part, I think, because the two big political parties favor massive military spending, while one opposes and the other supports various smaller spending projects; so a debate develops between those for and against spending in general, without anyone ever asking "Spending on what?"
Speaking of myths, here's another one that keeps the bipartisan support for militarism rolling:
"Holland: The bumper sticker finding here is that your model predicts that as inequality increases, average citizens will be more supportive of military adventurism, and ultimately in democracies, this may lead to more aggressive foreign policies. How does this jibe with what's known as "democratic peace theory" — the idea that democracies have a lower tolerance for conflict and are less likely to go to war than more authoritarian systems?
"Caverley: Well, it depends on what you think is driving democratic peace. If you think it's a cost-avoidance mechanism, then this doesn't bode well for the democratic peace. I'd say most people I talk to in my business, we're pretty sure democracies like to fight lots of wars. They just tend not to fight with each other. And probably the better explanations for that are more normative. The public is just not willing to support a war against another public, so to speak.
"To put it more simply, when a democracy has the choice between diplomacy and violence to solve its foreign policy problems, if the cost of one of these goes down, it's going to put more of that thing in its portfolio."
This is truly a lovely myth, but it collapses when put into contact with reality, at least if one treats nations like the United States as being "democracies." The United States has a long history of overthrowing democracies and engineering military coups, from 1953 Iran up through present day Honduras, Venezuela, Ukraine, etc. The idea that so-called democracies don't attack other democracies is often expanded, even further from reality, by imagining that this is because other democracies can be dealt with rationally, whereas the nations that ours attacks only understand the so-called language of violence. The United States government has too many dictators and kings as close allies for that to hold up. In fact it is resource-rich but economically poor countries that tend to be attacked whether or not they are democratic and whether or not the people back home are in favor of it. If any wealthy Americans are turning against this type of foreign policy, I urge them to fund advocacy that will replace it with a more effective and less murderous set of tools.
It won't protect you at all: Default Encryption: Apple and Google's Latest Marketing Ploy
By Alfredo Lopez
A couple of weeks ago, the mere mortals who lead the voracious giants of technology -- Google and Apple -- announced that they were striking a blow for protection against NSA spying by making "encryption" the default on Google cell phone software (which is used on most cell phones) and THEY software used on Apple mobile devices.
This affects equipment like the ubiquitous cell phone, although it is also relevant to some handheld computers and similar portable equipment.
Elected Officials and 'Boots on the Ground'
As the United States' armchair warriors sit in their comfortable homes and offices and decide on which country it is time to invade, attack or bomb, little consideration is given to those that must carry out their decisions. Sound bites for the evening news are far more important that human suffering.

A cultural essay: Going to War with a Vengeance
By John Grant
To do nothing is to send a message to the wrongdoer, and the general public, that the victim has no self-worth and will not marshal the internal resources necessary to reclaim his or her honor.

Three Cheers for Canada and Germany
NATO tried to get its members to commit to spending at least 2% of GDP on war preparations. And if a nation got richer it would have to spend more -- not because of any particular supposed need, but just because military spending was to be seen as an end in itself. Well, Canada and Germany blocked the proposal. The U.S., Estonia, the United Kingdom, and Greece already spend over 2% of their GDP, but other NATO nations do not. Read more here.

The Fall of the US Empire-And Then What?
by Johan Galtung, 1 Sep 2014 - TRANSCEND Media Service
Is the title of a book published by TRANSCEND University Press in 2009, now in second printing, and several translations including Chinese. There were two subtitles indicating answers: Successors, Regionalization or Globalization? – US Blossoming or US Fascism?
What is the situation today, five years later?
Successors? UK is militarily with USA to keep Anglo-America as a dominant world force even if a shadow of 50 years ago; France tries to keep its hold on former colonies in Africa; they use NATO-North Atlantic Treaty Organization for military and EU-European Union for political support. In empires the local elites line up to do the killing; yet the Western powers have mainly to do that themselves.
China is very active economically abroad, some of it structural violence; however, the military component has not been used aggressively.
Russia went into the "near abroad", CIS-Commonwealth of Independent States, Ukraine; but for other reasons. The gift of Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 was a mistake to be corrected as conditions changed; and Moscow, not Kiev, proposes federal solutions for "one country, two nations". In short, no successors.
Regionalization? Yes. Islam and Latin America-Caribbean, as OIC-Organization of Islamic Cooperation and CELAC-Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños, slowly; EU struggling. African Unity suffered a major setback when Gaddafi was eliminated; but the Union is there even if under strong Anglo-American influence, e.g., to rout Al-Shabah. They have tried that before; maybe dialogue would be better than bombing?
Globalization? No. Fight between two economic blocs; USA-EU to keep the dollar as global currency, BRICS-Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa for several alternatives.
US Blossoming? None; the bottom 20, 70 or even 99% have too little or no increase in buying power, hence too low domestic demand.
US Fascism? Yes, indeed; if by fascism we mean use of massive violence for political goals. US fascism takes three forms: global with bombing, droning and sniping all over; domestic with military weapons used across race and class faultlines; and then NSA-National Security Agency spying on everybody.
A deeply tragic development. Such an innovative country and nothing better to offer than macro bombing, meso droning and micro sniping. We sense the military-industrial complex at work–the bomb industry upfront–but dubious intellectuals are also in it:
"Even as Mr. Obama presses Russia to stop fomenting a virtual civil war in Ukraine, he is trying to collaborate with Moscow in a diplomatic campaign to force Iran to scale back its nuclear program. Even as he pressures Iran over its nuclear program, he finds himself on the same side as Tehran in combating a rising Sunni insurgency in Iraq. Even as he sends special forces to help squelch those insurgents, he is trying to help their putative allies against the government in Syria next door.–While defending Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas rockets, he sent Secretary of State John Kerry to work with Egypt to force a ceasefire–the same Egypt to which Mr. Obama cut financial aid for a while because it came to power after the military overthrew the previous government" (Peter Baker, "Crises cascade and converge, putting Obama to test", INYT, 24 July 2014).
Good job, Mr. Baker. The answer by a former security aide to Obama, Gary Samore, from an autistic bubble, is less brilliant:
"You name it, the world is aflame. Foreign policy is always complicated. We always have a mix of complicated interests. That's not unusual. What's unusual is there's this outbreak of violence and instability everywhere. It makes it hard for governments to cope–".
Mr. Samore: all Made in the USA, a USA meeting itself in the door.
Washington wanted Ukraine into NATO to encircle Russia even more; USA-UK made the coup against democratically elected Mossadegh in Iran in 1953 ushering in 25 years of a brutal Shah dictatorship; the brutal IS-Islamic State is a highly predictable outcome of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 killing the Baath-Saddam alternative; the Syrian situation was always more complex than Assad against an opposition and much due to Israeli influence on US policy; Israeli bombing in Gaza up to genocide is partially of US making; the Muslim Brotherhood came into power to get Egypt out of the US-Israeli grip; the Egyptian military is bribed by the USA itself and both want it that way, dictatorship or not.
There are other factors, but the common denominator is us, US.
Change that policy and the world would be easier to cope with.
But, the problem is whether Washington is too autistic to think thoughts beyond its bombing-droning-sniping obsession.
The Guardian, 9 July 2014: "Pentagon preparing for mass civil breakdown. Social science is being militarized to develop social tools to target peaceful activists and protest movements." The US military is turning inward, obviously to protect the white 1% who feeds them.
Furthermore, of course (28 August, Internet), the shocking, not exactly surprising, news: "Israel Police train U.S. police officers and have exchange offices in New York <> Tel Aviv–US police forces train in Israel and learn from how Palestinian resistance is subdued".
And that is by the same military means that brought the two countries into being. The more militarized the more dehumanized and the more dehumanized the more lethal; fed psychologically by anti-Arab and anti-Black racism, and by exceptionalist claims from the ruling elites.
Militarized class and race war is the worst approach possible. What the USA needs is imitative, solidarity, cooperation for a better USA; they will reap fear, apathy, withdrawal, revenge, spiraling violence. Already hurting the US image abroad and far from halting the decline and fall of the US Empire, it will speed up the decline and fall of the USA itself. Will they trigger a world war as a cover-up?
Moreover, it comes on top of another sad phenomenon in the USA: the increasing collective shootings all over the country, geographically and socially, in addition to the usual homicides and suicides, bad enough. The standard analysis is to psychiatrize the murderer, searching for a profile and its likes in society to prevent more shootings.
Another approach would focus on the shootings as a collective, slow suicide of a US incapable of solving its countless problems, even addressing them, to the point that people simply give a damn, kill what they see as the problem including, often, themselves. General demoralization has such consequences, like the suicide epidemic at the end of the Austrian-Hungarian empire and beyond, lasting to our days.
Farewell, USA? Not at all. Pull yourself together, Stop It!

Break the Vengeance Cycle: Why We Should Not Go To War Over James Foley
By John Grant
Back in June 2011, James Foley gave an hour-long interview to an auditorium of students from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he had graduated three years earlier with a Master's degree in journalism. It was 15 days after he had been released from 45 rough days of captivity in Libya. He was a handsome young hero returning to his alma-mater.
What's the truth behind Malaysian Flight 17 downing?: CIA Analysts Won't Support White House Claims of Russian Culpability
By Dave Lindorff
With the US continuing to push its submissive European "allies" towards an ever more confrontational stance towards Russia over the crisis in Ukraine (a crisis initially provoked by the US itself through CIA and State Department actions that led to the overthrow of Ukraine's elected government), the world appears headed towards a dangerous renewed Cold War between the world's two nuclear superpowers.

Anyone who's ever known someone that has tried to lose weight can attest to the fact that, if nothing else, losing weight can be difficult. Not only are you required to diet, but you have to add in an adequate amount of exercise in order to burn off fat. Often, people find that they don't have the time or the energy to work out enough to provide for significant weight loss. Aside from that, following the wrong kind of diet can leave you feeling languorous and unmotivated. Work, too, can play a part along those lines in that an intense, high-stress day can leave one mentally and physically exhausted. The HCG diet can come in handy if you find yourself in this position. It comes with a detailed, descriptive list of approved foods (and serving sizes) so you're never left in the dark when it comes to what you eat.
On the HCG diet, you're given a wide variety of carbohydrates, the body's primary source of energy, to choose from. Brown rice is an excellent source of carbohydrates with a little protein mixed in, as are legumes. The HCG diet plan allows for a wide variety of beans and nuts you can eat to help spice up your diet while you lose weight. On the HCG diet, you'll be staying away from simple carbs like white bread and white rice, opting instead for whole grains. If you choose to make a sandwich, you'll be eating it on 100% whole grain bread, once again providing you with both carbohydrates and protein. The complex carbs in whole grains are digested slower than the simple variety and therefore leave your blood sugar at a stable, manageable level. And don't forget the fiber! Complex carbs are great sources of fiber, something we all need in our diet, while simple carbs tend to lack any real nutrition at all.
Aside from grains, you're also given a variety of fruits and vegetables from which you can choose. These living-foods provide essential vitamins and minerals, helping you avoid malnutrition while on a calorie-reduced diet. Apples, oranges and grapefruits are examples of some of the fruits on the diet, while asparagus, spinach and onions are acceptable vegetables. Don't let this short list fool you though, there are a lot more approved fruits and veggies on the HCG diet foods list like beet-greens, chicory and tomatoes.
Proteins are also an essential part of the HCG diet and you have several from which you can choose. Fish and poultry are excellent selections, and beef is available too. Be sure to remove all of the visible fat though. Not only is that one of the things the diet tells you to do, but beef and chicken contain saturated fats. These fats typically lead to higher cholesterol levels and when eaten too much, can possible have adverse effects on your health. Fish, on the other hand, possess unsaturated fats, having the opposite effect on cholesterol.
The HCG diet provides a good variety of foods from which you can choose to construct your diet. The low-calorie phase only lasts about 30 days and isn't too hard to complete, provided you follow the guidelines exactly. With the HCG diet, you can not only lose weight fast, but you'll learn how to construct healthy, nutritious meals in order to live a happier, healthier life.

The overarching goal of the Administrative Core is to support the continuing development of the VDDRC Research Base and to ensure responsiveness of the Research Cores to the needs of VDDRC members and Pilot Project grant recipients. The administrative and scientific leadership of the VDDRC is provided by the Director, Richard Peek, and the Associate Directors, Naji Abumrad and Keith Wilson, and is augmented by the Scientific Advisory Board, composed of renowned internal and external investigators, and by the Executive Committee, which is comprised of the Director, Associate Directors, Core Directors, and Program Leaders. One administrative assistant provides the necessary support for day-to-day financial management and operations of the VDDRC. Vanderbilt University Medical Center provides exceptional institutional support and infrastructure to promote the continued growth of our center. The Administrative Core supports a Biostatistical Program directed by Dr. Tatsuki Koyama to assist pilot project applicants and recipients as well as our members in clinical and basic research study design, data analysis, and database management. An Enrichment Program co-directed by Dr. Abumrad, fosters new investigation in digestive diseases research by supporting prominent scientists to present research seminars at Vanderbilt, enhancing core utilization by addressing member research needs, and through an annual retreat. The seminar series and the retreat provide opportunities for communication and promote collaboration through scientific and technical interactions between members and Core Directors. The Enrichment Program also supports acquisition of new skills through the Enrichment Training (mini-sabbatical) Program. The Clinical Component of the VDDRC Is directed by Dr. Abumrad and provides clinical and translational platforms for VDDRC investigators to transition mechanistic studies into appropriate human populations. The Administrative Core oversees the Pilot and Feasibility Project Program, which has invested >$1.9M into investigator-initiated research since inception of the VDDRC and is directed by Dr. Wilson. This program is designed to attract new and seasoned investigators to pursue digestive diseases research in the four research areas of the VDDRC: 1) Growth, proliferation and apoptosis;2) Epithelial integrity;3), Gastrointestinal physiology, obesity and metabolism;and 4) Gastrointestinal development and function.

My family has been blessed to spend 24 years in one of only two beachfront homes in Pacific Grove. You will love staying here, too!
We bought our home in 1989 because it was the only home directly on the beach in all of Pacific Grove. It was extremely private, with a golf course across the street, State Park surrounding us, and the blue Pacific as our backyard. We have a full acre of private property. Another residence has since been built next door, on its own acre of land. A portion of our stone driveway is shared by both homes.
I love to look out my window and see the full moon casting sparkling light onto the dark waves as it sinks to the horizon. On clear evenings, the sunsets are spectacular. The morning sun casts a pink glow on the waves. And when it is foggy, there is a magic about the property that is enhanced with a roaring wood blaze in the fireplace, or a glass of wine in the hot tub.
We have many new upgrades and amenities for 2014 including a brand new handicap-accessible bathroom on the first floor, starlight-friendly lights woven into the driftwood along the driveway, new water service, tankless water heater, rebuilt greenhouse, big-screen smart TV with Netflix, Pandora, and many other internet services at your fingertips, and new binoculars to watch the whales!

Freestyle skiing is just slightly more extreme when you do it in front of the Battersea Power Station in London.
January 31, 2013 Update: X Games snowmobiler Caleb Moore died in the hospital today. His family released this statement: "This morning Caleb Moore passed away. He will be truly missed and never forgotten."
As X-Games snowmobiler Caleb Moore clings to life in the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery after a crash in last week's X Games, some wonder: Has the competition become too extreme?
There have been no deaths yet in the Winter X Games, which debuted 17 years ago. Last year, X Games skiing sensation Sarah Burke died at the age of 29 after a crash in training.
"Caleb is in critical condition and is being closely monitored," family spokeswoman Chelsea Lawson told the Denver Post. "The Moores want to express their gratitude to all of Caleb's fans, friends and family for their strong support and ask for continued prayers in the coming days."
PHOTOS: Extreme Sports X Games and Winter Sports You Won't Believe
Moore, 25, was competing in the snowmobile freestyle event in Aspen on Thursday when he miscalculated a back flip and his 450-pound snowmobile crashed on top of him. After a concussion was diagnosed, he was flown to Aspen Valley Hospital, where doctors discovered bleeding around his heart. He was airlifted to Grand Junction for emergency heart surgery, and remained there with brain complications. One of his most recent Facebook posts read: "Hey everyone, make sure and watch on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday! I'll be going for it all! Thanks for the support!"
Moore's brother also made a trip to the emergency room following a crash last week; the X Games wrapped up on Sunday with several more injuries, including a spinal fracture (skier Rose Battersby) and at least one concussion (snowboarder Halldor Helgason).
Still, most say that extreme athletes willingly accept the risk -- even the ultimate risk of death. There is no rush to blame any certain entity for creating a competition or for sponsoring athletes, although some call into question the celebrity culture that envelops sports.
"I feel like the athletes understand the risk and are willing to take it to exceed and excel in their sport," said snowboarder Kevin Pearce, who suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2009 and returned to the sport.

"We're all complicit in where sport has gone," said director of Northeastern University's Sport in Society Dan Lebowitz. "There's a responsibility in all of us as members of a functioning, inclusive society....It's a tug of war: the loving of the pushing of the envelope, but also stepping outside of ourselves and asking the question, have we perverted the essence and beauty of sport and teamwork?"
Dr. Omer Mei-Dan understands both sides of it: he's an extreme athlete, a former Red Bull BASE jumper, and a sports medicine doctor who recently co-authored of a textbook, "Adventure and Extreme Sports Injuries."
"People get injured and die in extreme sports. Everyone understands that; it's part of the deal," he said. "We're trying to minimize the risks by applying better techniques and training and better protection...Is the sponsor responsible? It's a fair question, but I don't think that's the case. People like that do it because they want to. They have the right personality to pursue this type of activity. I don't think they're doing it because of the sponsor or to make money."
PHOTOS: The Extraordinarily Brutal Extreme Sports of Ancient History
A few things have changed since Mei-Dan was at one of the first X Games, however: social media has exposed the minute details of extreme sports to the masses. That's led to more participants in many of the sports: 10 years ago, there were less than 500 active BASE jumpers, he says. Now, there are 3,000 globally. At the same time, safety precautions -- helmets, most prominently -- have become mainstream.
"It came from the more extreme daredevils; people saw them wearing helmets and thought, oh, maybe wearing helmets is cool and it also protects my brain," Mei-Dan said.
Despite an increase in helmet use, however, skiing and snowboarding head injuries requiring emergency care actually increased between 2004 and 2010, a 2012 study showed. That could mean that more novices are hitting the slopes, or that helmets may create a false sense of security. What is clear is that glamorizing risk-taking has become the norm.
"We bow down to the sensational in sports, where we glamorize the incredible violence and risk-taking and then sometimes we don't like the outgrowth," Lebowitz said. "There's a certain level of expectation that people are looking for: these incredible tricks of hanging off a snowmobile with one arm. There's this incredible balance in fueling interest by paying attention to the sensational and maintaining some semblance of it being a sporting event."

Book DescriptionIn the 780s northern Britain was dominated by two great kingdoms; Pictavia, centred in north-eastern Scotland and Northumbria which straddled the modern Anglo-Scottish border. Within a hundred years both of these kingdoms had been thrown into chaos by the onslaught of the Vikings and within two hundred years they had become distant memories. This book charts the transformation of the political landscape of northern Britain between the eighth and the eleventh centuries. Central to this narrative is the mysterious disappearance of the Picts and their language and the sudden rise to prominence of the Gaelic-speaking Scots who would replace them as the rulers of the North. From Pictland to Alba uses fragmentary sources which survive from this darkest period in Scottish history to guide the reader past the pitfalls which beset the unwary traveller in these dangerous times. Important sources are presented in full and their value as evidence is thoroughly explored and evaluated. Unlike most other volumes dealing with this period, this is a book which 'shows its workings' and encourages the readers to reach their own conclusions about the origins of Scotland. Key Features: * The first book in over twenty years to explain the destruction of the Picts and the rise of the Scottish kingdom from contemporary accounts alone * Recounts and evaluates modern scholarship developing readers' awareness of recent debates and controversies * Subjects contemporary sources to rigorous examination allowing students to appreciate the strengths and pitfalls of different types of evidence * Locates early Scottish history firmly within a European context

Very good support and fast handling
"The support ans customer service was excellent and they were very fast with solving the payment issue that i had.
I recomend this seller"
Fun photography
"I just received my Nikon D71 camera from Fumfie.
My daughter recommended them to me and i am so glad she did. Great prices, fast service, and today my camera was on my doorstep.
Thanks for the great service Fumfie, and I will be doing business with you in the future. "
Three Cameras and Counting
"This is the third Nikon DSLR I have purchased from Fumfie. I have had nothing but great experiences with Fumfie. Every time when I have called the sales rep went above and beyond to assure delivery. I got what I ordered, at the best price, and on time. Thank you again!"
Smooth transaction
"Fast shipment and great price. Very satisfied!"
Quick as a snap
"Lowest prices and quickest delivery. Will buy from again"
Wonderful customer service
"Due to some reason our credit card needed to be verified and so our shipment was delayed. My husband however was leaving the country and needed the camera with him. At no extra cost to us, Fumfie sent the camera and the lens by overnight shipping"
Pentax DSLR
"I placed my order for a Pentax K3 and received it as promised, delivered by FEDEX. The packaging was very good. The battery turned out to be defective, so a quick call to their customer service dept., which was answered by a courteous and helpful lady resulted in a replacement to be shipped right away. This is my second order with this company and I will continue using them for my camera purchases."
Great flying camera!
"Great price and free shipping. Took a few days to get into the mail and otherwise all good."
Fumfie.com, Best Nikon D5500 Prices Ever
"I purchased a Nikon D5500 camera w/18-140mm lens on Thursday and it was delivered on Tuesday, in only 5 days. I had reservations about negative reviews, but Fumfie.com was as solid as a rock. They delivered my Nikon camera in a timely manner and the product was exactly as advertised. I would purchase from this website in the future. Good service and good prices. Thanks Fumfie."
Out of stock and upsell
"Fumfie listed the camera that I wanted as in stock but they didnt have any. After submitting my order, I saw that you have to call them to complete the order. When I did this, they tried to upsell me for another camera and accessories. When I said I only wanted the camera ordered he then said we are out of that camera. He was polite and they did cancel the order but its not a great way to do business."
Excellent price and quick delivery!
"Fumfie had the lowest price and had many package options to choose from. The delivery came in 5 days, very pleased! "
Great prices and service
"The prices were so good, I couldn't believe it. I even looked up where Fumfie was, and I'm here in NYC too. I got my order in 4 days. Great price, great items, good service too."
great price with the right product
"Good service. I ask the question about the lens I am interested and got the precise answer. The price is also the best. "
"I purchased a new lens from Fumfie. They emailed me the day after I ordered saying there was an issue with my order and I needed to call them during their business hours. I made that call, and there was actually no issue with the order. Several days later, I received another email, stating there was another issue with my order and that I needed to call. I tried to call and sat on hold for at least 10 minutes before I finally hung up and decided to call back another time. I called later and was able to resolve their issue easily (different shipping address from billing address). The order was finally shipped out the next day. When it arrived, the outer box looked fine, but the inner box was visibly damaged, and there was no insert or manual in the box. So far, the lens appears to be fine, but I'm worried there might be an issue in the future due to the obvious damage to the lens box. Next time I'll probably skip the hassle and buy from Amazon. "
Great customer service
"I ordered a higher level, DSLR camera. A fumfie rep contacted me to clarify a couple of details I had missed in my initial order. The camera was delivered by the estimated due date. I did have to call because the UV filter they included was the wrong size for the camera. The representative was very helpful and said he would have the right one mailed to me right away. I waited for about 3 weeks and hadn't received it, so I called again. Even though I couldn't find my initial paper where I had written down the conversation about the UV filter, Elliott was able to look up my information based on my order # and knew exactly what I was talking about. He saw a record of the conversation, but saw that the filter had never been mailed. He promised to make sure it was sent, and would send me a tracking #. Although I haven't yet received the filter, I appreciate that they keep a record of conversations regarding concerns with orders. They were friendly and helpful. Now I'm just waiting for them to follow through on the final part!"

Nexus 7: Touch issues
I'm sure there have been others with the same issues but I do like my nexus 7 (13) but I also hate it. I have the creaking that was reported in the first model like there is separation inside and the touch sensitivity is horrible and just seems to get worse. I have own it since it's release and purchased it at Office Depot so not sure what is the best thing to do, getting ready though to say enough is enough.

Acute myocarditis is a significant cause of disease in children and adults. The pathogenesis of viral myocarditis involves many interrelated processes, including direct destruction of cardiac myocytes, immune- mediated damage triggered by infection, and myocyte apotosis. Interferons are key cytokines with antiviral activity that provide protection in many models of viral myocarditis. However, many viruses have evolved mechanisms to evade host interferon responses. Associations between myocarditis and infection with human adenoviruses (Ad) have been well established, but strict species specificity limits studies of human adenovirus pathogenesis. We use mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) to study the pathogenesis of an adenovirus in its natural host. Our preliminary data suggest that 1) MAV-1 infects cardiac myocytes in vitro and hearts in vivo;2) MAV-1 induces interferon production;and 3) lymphocytes are recruited to the hearts of MAV-1-infected animals. In the experiments described in this proposal, we will use MAV-1 in neonates and adults of multiple mouse strains to establish a model of adenovirus myocarditis. We will test the overall hypothesis that a balance between viral immunomodulation and protective host factors such as the interferons determines the outcome of adenovirus myocarditis. Effective vaccines and antiviral drugs are not currently available to provide protection against adenoviruses or other viruses that typically cause viral myocarditis. Anti- inflammatory and immunomodulatory strategies have not shown consistent benefits for patients with viral myocarditis. It is therefore essential to gain a better understanding of both viral and host factors that contribute to disease in order to develop effective preventative or therapeutic strategies. MAV-1 provides a model with unique advantages for the study of adenovirus pathogenesis.
Viral infection leading to myocarditis, inflammation of the heart, is a significant disease in children and adults. The human adenoviruses are frequent causes of viral myocarditis, but very little is known regarding how host immune responses control adenovirus infections in the heart or how these immune responses may themselves contribute to the disease process. Using a mouse adenovirus to study these interactions in an animal model, we seek to define both viral and host factors that contribute to disease in order to develop effective preventative or therapeutic strategies that will benefit patients with viral myocarditis.
