Thursday, April 12, 2012
Just about 10 years ago, a small, picturesque town at the base of a snow-capped mountain opened its doors to a large multi-national corporation offering a solution to their economic woes and high unemployment.
That town was McCloud, Calif., and Nestlé Waters North America was the corporation that came calling.
Cascade Locks is about to undertake a similar examination of costs and benefits in their negotiations now under way with Nestlé for the construction of a 250,000-square-foot water bottling plant to be located on port property.
McCloud residents are reportedly still repairing the divisions in their town that resulted from the Nestlé battle.
According to "A Town Torn Apart by Nestlé," an article in the April 16, 2008, edition of Business Week magazine, McCloud's town administration agreed to a deal without adequate public process, limited due diligence research and no legal advice. The article may be viewed online at: http://buswk.co/RV26k.
Cascade Locks residents attending past meetings hosted by Nestlé's local representative, Dave Palais, and the port, have voiced both support for potential economic benefits and concerns about the plant, truck traffic and the use of a public spring water resource to a for-profit corporation. Citizens of McCloud faced a similar set of conflicting interests and opponents funded an ECONorthwest analysis of the deal. That report is available online at http://bit.ly/Hvt2iT.
With the recent preliminary approval of an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife water transfer application, initial steps toward the bottling plant have already begun; although according to Mayor Lance Masters, "no contract exists between Cascade Locks and Nestlé as of yet."
The preliminarily approved ODWF transfer application would essentially create a quantity-based split of existing ODWF Oxbow Spring water rights, allowing for a portion of ODFW water to be exchanged with Cascade Locks, while keeping another portion for continued ODFW hatchery operations. ODFW would also benefit by obtaining a back-up well water source for the hatchery during low water years.
To achieve a water sale with Nestlé, Cascade Locks must seek to obtain rights for a "water exchange" between city-owned well water and the newly created sub-portion of ODFW controlled Oxbow Spring waters.
That application process would again pass through the Oregon Water Resources Board.
If that swap is authorized, Cascade Locks could then be in a position to cut the deal with Nestlé, allowing the sale of Oxbow Spring water, supported by city well water, to the multi-national corporation for an extended period of time.
Although Masters was not aware of any specific length of time yet requested by Nestlé for water access, other recent Nestlé proposals included contract terms of 50 years with subsequent 50-year term renewal options.
Opponents to the local bottling plant recently filed a legal protest to the ODFW transfer application, citing potential harm to other water users.
Opponents include not only the environmental groups Food and Water Watch and Bark, but also a cadre of Oregon legislators and a large labor union. The broader community of opponents is focusing on the precedent-setting water exchange involved in the process. Concerns over the impact on the watershed are also cited.
In another Nestlé water bottle community, Mecosta County, Mich., a judge had to order Nestlé to reduce its pumping after it was found to damage a local watershed, ending an eight-year legal battle with residents.
In examining the record of scrapped plans for the Nestlé plant in McCloud, a significant amount of research and information has been made available for review on the questions and issues facing small towns engaging with Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage corporation, and similar powerhouses.
A large coalition of McCloud residents opposing the Nestlé deal funded a 63-page study examining the economic and environmental impact of the plant on their town's future.
One of the first unexpected findings of the McCloud study? Nestlé was offering reimbursement rates for the proposed water purchase at $26.40 per acre-foot versus the $80 per acre-foot lease rates typical in California at that time through other corporations.
Although Chuck Daughtry, port of Cascade Locks general manager indicated that he had not read the ECONorthwest study - alleging bias in its results - the document does provide relevant guidance for assessing broad issues of concern to economic development advocates, local residents, environmentalists and public policy-makers alike.
The report offers a presentation of some of the questions pertinent to a potentially long-standing contract.
The questions span economic topics and public resource concerns including: fixed-versus-adjustable reimbursement rates, long-term impacts and reparations during drought or overuse, environmental damage impacts, truck traffic and wastewater costs and concerns, and options for future contract cancellation to protect citizen access to water in the event of a crisis.
According to Daughtry, Cascade Locks has a "team of professionals" working together to provide answers to those types of questions. "We do have to look after our own interests," said Daughtry. "But this could double the tax base in our community."
Daughtry added that once the water availability has been secured, city representatives may seek additional bidders for the resource.
Nestlé has funded an economic analysis of the project to be produced within the next month by Professor Bruce Sorte, OSU extension economist, and provided to the city. That report will assess impacts of the projected 50 new jobs on the local economy.
Back in McCloud, amid mounting local and statewide protests, Nestlé, first scaled-back and then ultimately scrapped the bottling plant, citing "transportation cost concerns."
Palais, Nestlé's water resource manager, was the lead negotiator on the McCloud project and is the local point person for the Cascade Locks deal.
On April 12, 7 p.m. in the Cascade Locks city hall, the CL joint committee on economic development will discuss Nestlé-related strategies.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Very effective
By Kate
from Wisconsin
After having my son, my skin was out of control with blackheads and blemishes. This Clear Acne Cleanser was the only product I found (after tons of research) that improved my skin drastically. I have now been using this product for nearly a year and I enjoy smoother, clearer skin.

Effective but drying
By glammy
from NYC
About Me Skin Care Professional
I use the product once or twice a day. I do believe it's helping keep breakouts under control. I have good skin but now I'm in my upper 20s and get hormonal breakouts or random blemishes. My skin is dry combination and this cleanser really dries me out and sometimes stings but I'm going to keep trying to see if it keeps breakouts away. My friend with oily skin loves this cleanser but if you are not oily it may dry you out. Love this company.
If you breakout, this is a must have!
By Pandora
from Ogden, UT
Another Paula's product I never want to live without. I use to breakout a lot, not so much now that this is my new best friend. It never dries out my skin and never makes it feel tight. I have one by my sink and one in the shower.

Gave me a severe allergic reaction
By Meghan
from New Brunswick, NJ
This gave me a HORRIBLE allergic reaction! It made my skin so red and dry that it stung 24/7 unless I put vaseline on it. I already have very dry skin, and although this did keep my acne under control it still gave me that awful reaction. My skin has never reacted this badly to any product. Maybe it's just my skin being way too sensitive, but please be wary of this cleanser is you have sensitive skin!
Great and excellent price!!
By Ade
from Phoenix, Arizona
Great cleanser. I've tried Clinique and Estee Lauder and feel they have much alcohol. Did not over dry my skin and left it feeling super clean. I did see a bit of difference in regards to pores. Would definitely recommend, worth a try!

Great cleanser for combination skin, bad packaging
By Jordan
from Norway
About Me Beauty Expert
I've used Paulas Choice for 5+ years now, and this is my favourite cleanser for my oily combination skin with blackheads/acne. It gently dissolves oil, without leaving the skin feeling dry or tight. My main problem with this product is the packaging. It leaks very easily, so don't bring this cleanser with you on a trip, especially not on an airplane! the cap also breaks off easily, so don't try to "tighten" it. Wish PC could fix their packaging, I love the products except for this one thing!

Changed my skin
By NorthernGirl2412
from Boyne City, MI
For the last probably 2-3 years my skin took a turn for the worst I didn't know why, but I would have break out after break out after break out. I started to try and fight the breakouts by using anything and everything that said it was for "acne prone skin", but what I found was many of these products either made minimal impact or made the problem worse. I stumbled upon Paula's choice when I saw the price of this product I thought "why the heck not?" and it was the best choice I made. Within just a few days I saw noticable improvements and within in a month new breakouts were few and far between. I now get compliments on my skin and I immediately give credit to Paula's choice. This product is also great for sensitive skin as it doesn't have a smell or color, it rinses off easily without leaving a residue, and doesn't dry out the skin like many other acne cleansers I've tried. I give this two big thumbs up!
Simple and Effective, even for Removing Makeup
By Glad I Found Paula's
from Glendale Heights, IL
This is a straightforward cleanser that does what it's marketed to do: cleans the skin thoroughly and without irritation. That being said, everyone's skin is different, so I'd recommend giving this a try and keeping your receipt for a refund if it doesn't work out.After years of using Proactiv, and before that other over the counter products with other bells and whistles and active ingredients, I was doubtful that going simpler would work on my oily and acne prone skin. Ultimately Proactiv ceased to be as effective for me this year, and I'm seeing a dermatologist for hereditary and hormonal acne (SIGH), but before I saw a dermatologist I tried this out, along with the Clear line. 5 months later, I'm still using it, even with my prescription products.For my oily and acne prone skin, this is surprisingly effective cleaning off dirt and make-up. Not only did my face feel much cleaner, but I could tell it was cleaner because there's little-to-no visible residue that transfers to my towel after drying my face, or onto the cotton ball after using a toner. I doubt it would remove waterproof eye liner (I can dream, can't I?), but it works on foundation, eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow and in most cases my waterproof mascara as well, AND it's gentle enough to be used around the eyes, which means it saves a step of using makeup remover! At times, it does make my face feel a little tight in winter (I live in the Midwest, so bitter cold and dry weather in winter) but when that happens I just make sure to use extra moisturizer and/or buffer my prescription acne products with moisturizer to avoid dryness. For me, this is a benefit, because it's helpful to stay simple with the cleanser and leave the heavy hitting to my prescription acne potions, which have the potential to be more irritating.I drop a star, because it is more expensive than over-the-counter products. In particular, I tried the Olay Foaming Wash for sensitive skin and found it to be comparable. But, I prefer the texture of this and it cleans my makeup off better than the Olay face wash. Plus, a little goes a long way with this product, so I can see myself working on one tube for several months, so I don't mind as much the price since I'm happy with the performance of the product.

Excellent time. Town is charming. Location is beautiful. Very peaceful experience.
Old school hotel in beautiful Lovere.
Located right on the plaza with a lake view from our room. Room was clean and well maintained. Owner and all employees were very personable and spoke English. Wifi was available in room, but your location within the room itself determined signal strength.
Nice hotel and lovely views of the lake from our room. Good sized room. Parking was a hassle and yes it is free, BUT 200m from the hotel on the street. You can drop off outside the hotel. Nice area with lots of interesting things to do.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or the Board) continues to force new requirements upon employers from all directions. The Board might say that its new requirements represent an effort at increased civility and common sense in the negotiation process, but the legal foundation for the ruling in IronTiger Logistics, Inc. is suspect.
In IronTiger Logistics, Inc., (October 23, 2012), the Board broadened the burden on employers in responding to union informational requests, all in the name of civility and efficiency. The Board concluded that although IronTiger Logistics, Inc. (IronTiger) did not violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by failing to provide irrelevant information requested by a union, it did violate the NLRA by failing to inform the union of its rationale for not providing the information in a timely manner.
IronTiger had an arrangement with a third-party trucking company, TruckMovers.com, Inc. (TruckMovers), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), the union which represented IronTiger's own drivers. IronTiger and IAM entered into a letter of understanding whereby IronTiger could utilize both its unionized employees and TruckMovers' employees to haul loads, without considering it a sub-contracting arrangement.
In this relationship, TruckMovers assigned the loads to both groups of drivers. IAM became suspicious of the distribution of loads and alleged that IronTiger was not complying with the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement. IAM filed a grievance on March 29, 2012, concerning the dispatch of the loads to TruckMovers' drivers.
In the grievance, IAM contended that IronTiger was not placing all available loads on its dispatch board. As part of this grievance, on April 12, 2010, IAM requested information concerning all units of work dispatched to both the unionized drivers and the TruckMovers' drivers for a six-month period. In response, IronTiger produced a list of units dispatched to both TruckMovers' and IronTiger's drivers.
Then on May 11, 2010, IAM requested supplemental information, consisting of 10 subparts, some concerning TruckMovers' drivers, while others requested information about IronTiger's drivers. These requests included information on the names of the drivers for each unit, their destination, mileage, and all relevant communications from customers about those units.
In response to this broad request, IronTiger did nothing. That is where the Board found them at fault. After receiving the requests, the IronTiger not only failed to provide any information, they failed to notify IAM of their reason for not providing the information. In fact, they did not respond to IAM in any way.
During this period, IAM filed an unfair labor practice alleging that the IronTiger had failed to bargain in good faith with IAM, violating Sections 8(a)(5) and (1) of the NLRA. The Board agreed with IAM in a 2-1 opinion. In doing so, the Board expanded the "good-faith" bargaining requirement beyond its traditional boundaries. Essentially, the Board explained that under Section 8(a)(5) of the NLRA, IronTiger was obligated to bargain with IAM in good faith in this situation, and it failed to do so.
Bargaining in "good faith" generally means that a unionized employer must provide, upon request, information that is relevant and necessary to the union's performance of its duties as the employees' representative. Per Board law, IronTiger must provide relevant information in a timely manner. In this case, the Board concluded that IronTiger's failure to notify IAM of its intent not to respond to the information requests violated Section 8(a)(5) and (1) of the NLRA.
The key term here is relevancy. If the information was truly irrelevant, IronTiger had no obligation to provide information or even respond to the request because the requirement is limited to responses to "relevant" information requests. "Presumptively relevant" documents are also subject to valid information requests.
In this case, even though the information requests turned out to be irrelevant, because some of them were related to unit employees' assigned loads, the Board concluded that they were "presumptively relevant," and therefore, IronTiger had an obligation to inform IAM of its decision not to respond. The Board was clear that the "question here [was] not whether [IronTiger] had the duty to provide the information sought by [IAM], but rather whether it had a duty to respond to [IAM]'s request in a timely way."
Board Member Hayes dissented, pointing out that the NLRA imposes no obligation upon an employer to provide requested information that is not relevant to a union's performance of its responsibilities, and therefore, it imposes no obligation to respond to irrelevant requests. The Board concluded, over this objection, that such a response was a component of the "good faith" bargaining requirement and preferable to increased disputes between parties.
In light of this decision, employers should carefully analyze informational requests from a union. Employers should determine how best to respond in a timely manner to thorny information requests, so as to avoid unfair labor practices over this issue in the future.

Incentives for Reporting Infectious Disease Outbreaks
The global spread of diseases such as swine flu and SARS highlights the difficult decision governments face when presented with evidence of a local outbreak. Reporting the outbreak may bring medical assistance but is also likely to trigger trade sanctions by countries hoping to contain the disease. Suppressing the information may avoid trade sanctions, but increases the likelihood of widespread epidemics. In this paper, we model the government's decision as a signaling game in which a country has private but imperfect evidence of an outbreak. First, we find that not all sanctions discourage reporting. Sanctions based on fears of an undetected outbreak (false negatives) encourage disclosure by reducing the relative cost of sanctions that follow a reported outbreak. Second, improving the quality of detection technology may not promote the disclosure of an outbreak because the forgone trade from reporting truthfully is that much greater. Third, informal surveillance is an important channel for publicizing outbreaks and functions as an exogenous yet imperfect signal that is less likely to discourage disclosure. In sum, obtaining accurate information about potential epidemics is as much about reporting incentives as it is about detection technology.

"Interesting though tedious at times"
Very interesting read; the writer attempt (as he states in the preface) to reach the professional, the student and the layman, makes this book a bit difficult to digest (I am a member of the third group...).
The added commentary and Dawkins' need to answer his critics is more then tedious and irritating at times - unnecessary additions to my taste.
I would recommend to come supplied with good deal of patience for this read - if you do, it is facinating ...
"Obnoxious treatment of footnotes"
Dawkins made the decision to read the footnotes thought the text of the book rather than update the book itself. The footnotes probably ended up being longer than the text itself. The self-important and unnecessary commentary sprinkled throughout also distracted from the point of the book.
"Fascinating and well read!"
Definitely. Richard Dawkins is certainly one of the most interesting figures in modern biology. His ideas are revolutionary, and everyone should be introduced to them. Dawkins is very skilled at making complex ideas understandable!
Well, it is about life, about us, about where we came from and why we are here. Fascinating. You won't see the world in the same way after digesting this book.
It was very helpful to have a different voice for the foot/end notes.
My interests run to psychology, popular science, history, world literature, and occasionally something fun like Jasper Fforde. It seems like the only free time I have for reading these days is when I'm in the car so I am extremely grateful for audio books. I started off reading just the contemporary stuff that I was determined not to clutter up my already stuffed bookcases with. And now audio is probably 90% of my "reading" matter.
"ESSs and Survival Machines and Memes"
Some science books have one or two key ideas but then resort to padding or rehashing to flesh out the rest of the book. This isn't one of those. Dawkins starts off with a premise about how the proper unit of evolutionary study is the gene rather than the organism, and then goes on with one fascinating topic after another, all designed to show how how the behavior patterns that exist today are the ones that outcompeted their rivals. Outcompeting is a misleading word here. Dawkins himself struggles with this point over and over. It's not that genes are consciously competing with each other. It's that behaviors that are less successful at propagating genes get squeezed out over time. One of his key examples is Evolutionary Stable Strategies (ESSs) where he shows how competing strategies often end up in some kind of optimal mix. His book is full of interesting examples and illustrations to support his ideas, some of which he acknowledges as speculative. I will not comment on all of them here. A good chunk of the end of the book is devoted to a deep analysis of The Prisoner's Dilemma. I hadn't thought of that as anything other than a cute logic puzzle, but Dawkins persuades me that it has extraordinary significance for competing behaviorial traits and societal development in general. I have to point out that this is also the book where Dawkins invented the idea of the meme. His discussion about memes as a kind of meta-gene with its own plane of existence emerging out of our own consciousness is as fascinating as anything else in this book.
I had not realized this book came out all the way back in 1976. I am glad he was able to revise it. And I am glad that the revisions were grafted on in the way they were. Leaving in the outdated portions and commenting on them in footnotes was enlightening. Other portions have simply been added to reflect new information in this extremely fast-moving subject area.
Dawkins is a tolerably good reader, and so is his wife, Lalla Ward. However, there were many times that I wish they had used a single, professional reader to record this book. I had to slow this book down a bit just because Dawkins's articulation is just a shade too muddied for clear understanding, or maybe I'm just getting old. Despite having been a fan of Romana (Lalla Ward's character on Doctor Who), her alternations with her husband sound a bit jarring and prissy. (And if you're a current Doctor Who fan, I should clarify that I'm talking about the Tom Baker era.)
Top 10
"Who's driving this bus"
Having the footnotes and extra comments read by Ward was a highly effective way of keeping track of which idea stream we are in. A good idea very effectively implemented.
"The most important book I've ever read"
Well, I don't exactly know how to describe this book. It's profundity is beyond anything I am capable of putting into words. I basically had to listen to it two times because I needed to rewind it in order to grasp all of the rather complex ideas being shot out. I would say that I have an okay grasp of biology, but there are a whole lot of concepts that require a double take or a double listen because all of the ideas are so important. I must say however that if I had tried to read the book, I probably wouldn't have finished it because there are some boring and complex components, and I don't do all that well with reading stuff compared to listening. I would have fallen asleep after reading for five minutes. But it would be nice to have a picture reference for some of the stuff in the book. Maybe a 16 hour video narrative of the book with computer graphics demonstrating all of the concepts like the game theory stuff that would be appropriate and really help to understanding everything contained within this book. That would be a project. Heck that could comprise a college course on this subject. Really, to deeply understand all of the concepts that are touched on in this book you would probably need a college course or two on every chapter.
When I listened I got a sense of the rightness of evolutionary theory. This is why the book was so profound and life changing for me. The idea that life has evolved one little molecule at a time. Every little molecular change of a protein segment of DNA has caused the world to be what it is, is a profound idea, and this book explains this idea and all of the corresponding evidence so well that the truth becomes almost undeniable.
I don't know whether God exist or not. After reading this book a person comes to seriously doubt the existence or need for God. I don't suppose it really matters. The whole paradigm of the gene being the final determinant and driving force of life on earth simply is too good of an idea, as if there was any such thing, and in that sense the gene in all of its selfishness is God, but once the idea of a selfish gene takes hold of a persons mind it doesn't let go. That is why I say that this is the most important book I have ever read.
"A reluctant fan."
Dawkin's arrogance is matched only by his brilliance. I find it hard to listen to him, but his ideas are so compelling that you can't not listen. I decided to ignore his persona and stick with the content. This is a seminal book and should be viewed as a companion to the Origin of the Species. Dawkins lays out the framework of evolution through the unit of information called the gene (which has a special definition in this work--not quite what we think of as a "gene" today). I decided to read the Selfish Gene after reading James Gleick's wonderful book "The Information," which has a chapter that draws on Dawkin's theory in The Selfish Gene. While Gleick gives you the essential high points, there is no substitute for following Dawkins through his tight-nit, intellectually disciplined, and detailed support for his theory. I am glad I listened to this book, but it took more commitment than other science audiobooks. I suppose that is because unlike many books that try to popularize science or treat it as historical biography, The Selfish Gene is itself a scientific work in which Dawkins sets out his theory of the gene as the fundamental unit of evolution.
Each chapter is full of brilliant ideas. The argumentation methods are state-of-the-art. Such a pleasure to listen to. WOW!!!
I quite liked the fact that Dawkins didn't rewrite the book for this edition but added footnotes and explanations. May take a couple minutes of listening to get used to this, but will be certainly worth it. This will give you a flavor of how science is made. And you will have a true genius as your guide.
"Understand evolution and how it shapes behavior"
Narration: excellent, the switching between Richard and Lalla keeps the story fresh. They both understand what they read and have nice voices to listen to.
Story: science explained, and although this book is from 1976, endnotes from 1989 and 2011 update some aspects based on current insights. But they are rare, indicating the truth and value of the original work.
This book outlines why genes are the ultimate survivors, and all organisms mainly vehicles for the protection, survival en reproduction of genes. That this leads to a multifaceted world in which even behavior can be explained scientifically, is desribed wonderfully.
Well worth the read if you are interested in understanding the origins and perpetuation of life.
Reading, the arts and physical activity clarify, explain, illustrate, and interpret life's goods and bads.
"A Little Threatened By Not Being Impressed"
Okay, The Selfish Gene, by Richard Dawkins is a complete analysis of gene theory; meaning the basis by which traits are passed from parents to offspring through gene transmission. Genes are located on chromosomes and consist of DNA. Who you are is dependant upon what your DNA physically makes you into. They are passed from parent to offspring through reproduction. In the analysis Prof. Dawkins attempts to determine how the gene manifests itself into everyday life. Note merely human life but all life. Now, I rarely find myself out of agreement with Prof. Dawkins conclusions and he may very well have the true answer here but even after reading this study I am not so sure he has persuaded me as to his thinking on the universal working of genes and compatibility with the Darwinian process.
The attempted persuasion here is that the gene has a universal scheme by which it functions. The book is filled with statistical analysis attempting to persuade. Not so fast though. Prof. Dawkins seems to contend genes have a path they follow, as if they were subject to specific process, a prescribed roadmap. His process is well thought out but there may be more of a catch- as-catch-can effect to gene interaction of Darwinian development rather than statistic practicalities. Perhaps at the gene level variances occur without any relevance to real world factors. It is conceivable genes have no particular communication to the actual world. Then once manifested, their effects move into the world and create living things, by happenstance, not statistical certainty.
This is a brilliant work, but it did not convince me as to its veracity. Anyhow, I found this a very difficult read. Laborious. Too much repeated explanation of Dawkins and other scientist's statistical analysis. (This book is a little unique as it was republished and Dawkins, uses the republication to comment on his original thoughts – right and wrong conclusions.) Dawkins reliance on statistical analysis is specious: that stuff that tells us how the stock market will work or who will win the next election. Now if you are a biologist or a statistician this would be a very good work to have in your bailiwick of knowledge. But if you just want to know the results of other's studies, this work may be too data specific to be an enjoyable read or listen.

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) remains a major and intractable complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Two major effector mechanisms of GVHD are inflammatory cytokines and activated lymphocytes. In this new project, we explore a novel bioenergetic strategy to eliminate lymphocyte effectors in GHVD. Preliminary studies show that during GVHD lymphocytes that are chronically activated by histocompatibility antigens of the host have abnormal bioenergetic profiles. GVHD effector lymphocytes have low levels of glycolysis compared to acutely activated lymphocytes and show signs of mitochondrial stress, including elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Effector lymphocytes can be selectively induced to apoptose with a cytotoxic benzodiazepine, Bz-423, that inhibits a mitochondrial ATPase. Administration of Bz-423 beginning seven days after induction of GVHD in two separate mouse models reverses GVHD by all clinical and histologic parameters and significantly improves long term survival. This project will investigate the molecular mechanisms of action of Bz-423 and explore its effects on the bioenergetic profiles of critical cellular subpopulations during hematologic and immunologic reconstitution after BMT in these animal models. This project will also define the bioenergetic profiles of leukocyte subpopulations in clinical samples from human allogeneic BMT recipients.
Our Specific Aims are: 1. To analyze Bz-423 and its analogs in eliminating effector lymphocytes during GVHD 2. To determine the effects of Bz-423 on immunologic reconstitution 3. To analyze the impact of Bz-423 on key myeloid populations following BMT 4. To analyze the bioenergetic profiles of human PBMC populations after allogeneic BMT
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a potentially curative therapy for many malignant diseases whose applicability has been impeded by the development of its most serious complication, GVHD. Strategies that mitigate GVHD will allow for better harnessing of this effective therapeutic modality to treat many patients with hematological cancers

The principle of Reflex Level Gauges is based on the difference in the refractive indices of liquid and vapor. The liquid column is contained within the recess of the liquid chamber behind the sight glass, which is clamped to the gauge body. The sight glass has prismatic right-angled grooves on the side facing the liquid and vapor space. Light rays entering from outside the gauge are either absorbed or reflected depending upon whether they enter the liquid or vapor space. When the ray of light encounters the surface of one of the grooves in the vapor space, it is reflected to the opposite surface of the grooves and from there, totally reflected back to the direction of observation.

Megan00m, I hope he's just waiting for a high-five. Everyone knows you can't serve a beer to a bear:
A bear once walked into a bar. Bartender said "get out, we can't serve a beer to a bear." He left.
Bear came back, same thing, left.
He got really upset by this. He went back in again, grabbed some chick and started eating her!
Bartender said, "Get out, we don't serve drug users."
Bear replied "What drugs? I'm not on drugs!"
Bartender said, "What about that bar bitch you ate?" (barbituate)
(I am very, very sorry about that joke.) 😀ReplyCancel

You're here because you're the best of the best. To read the questions that didn't make the cut, click here.
Wilber T Wildcat (Tucson): Tall order for my fellow Cats in Autzen. You see any way we can Bear Down and bring back a W?
Kevin Gemmell (2:01 PM): Tall order indeed. The best way, create turnovers and score touchdowns. Field goals aren't going to do it. Arizona has shown the ability to move the ball, but not always end a drive with a TD. Finding the end zone will be the only way to keep up.
Nick S. (EUGENE): Kevin, can you tell us what Duck fans should expect from Zonas Matt Scott? all I've heard are rave reviews but I haven't seen much film on him up here in the 5-4-1
Kevin Gemmell (2:04 PM): Very good arm, very athletic. Moves in and out of the pocket really well. I've been impressed with his decision-making so far. It's tough to learn a new system and make all of the reads so quickly. But he's done a good job. I think he'll keep Arizona competitive in this game.
Steve Chao (Rolling Hills Estates, CA): Is Stanford's defense really that good?
Kevin Gemmell (2:05 PM): The issue with Stanford's defense was the secondary. And they played fantastic Saturday night. Jordan Richards and Ed Reynolds were hitting hard and jarring balls loose. You combine that with a really, really good front seven and you have possibly the top defense in the conference. So yes, they are that good.
Kyle Whittingham [via mobile]: Is my seat forever on ice at Utah? It could never warn up....right?
Kevin Gemmell (2:06 PM): Right now, your cheeks are a couple of Klondike Bars. But I won't ever say never. A couple of one- or two-win seasons and things could get ugly. But I don't see that happening. As Utah gets more resources from being in the Pac-12, they'll stay competitive for a long time.
Truth (Tempe): Do you think ASU is still being overrated? This will be their 4th straight backup QB they are facing and they are not locks to win. Mizzou's QB did not look good behind that rag tag fill in for injuries line
Kevin Gemmell (2:15 PM): I don't think they are overrated. I think they are probably where most expected them to be at this point. They've won the games they were supposed to win. Almost won a game they weren't. I'd say they are progressing nicely.
Chase (SLC): What should Utah be most concerned about facing ASU this weekend?
Kevin Gemmell (2:29 PM): ASU's defensive front is playing very well right now. With the question marks on the offensive line and the health of John White, I'd say running the football is Utah's biggest concern.
Y (Campbell, CA): If the winner of the conference championship game goes to the NCG, does the Rose Bowl have to pick the loser of that game?
Kevin Gemmell (2:34 PM): No. It's my understanding that the Rose Bowl picks the best team possible. So, say Stanford is 11-1 and USC loses to Oregon twice, giving them at least three losses, the Rose Bowl would be thrilled to take a one-loss Stanford squad.
Sandover (Texas): Is Colorado the 13th (after 2008 winless UW) or 14th (after 2008 winless UW and 2008 WSU) best team in the Pac-12?
Kevin Gemmell (2:37 PM): Ha. Tough times at Colorado. But I talked with some guys from the program earlier this week and you have admire the way they keep grinding. No one on that team has quit (at least publicly). I actually asked [coach Jon] Embree how he keeps a positive attitude and he said that the players will react to how he does, so he's doing his best to strike that balance between frustration while still being a teacher.
Paul (Albany, OR): UCLA looked better defensively against Houston, but really Houston is not strong offensively this year. Do you think the Beavers will be able to move the ball like Nebraska and Rice did against them? Thank you
Kevin Gemmell (2:45 PM): I think OSU will have a good game plan because of the extra time to prepare. But I can't say enough about the emergence of Datone Jones. He's not-so-quietly making a run at defensive MVP through the first quarter of the season. That said, OSU has a lot of offensive weapons so I'd expect them to pick up some healthy yards.
Jared (Salt City Central): With Coach Whitt now not talking about injured unless they are season ending injuries. How do you feel that this comes off to the fans? In other words, they said last week the RB (White) was 100% and going to play, then comes game time and he is sidelined. Does this create a divide with loyalty to the fans and a bigger issue with trust? Thoughts? Thanks.
Kevin Gemmell (2:50 PM): The whole injury debate is an interesting one. I think fans want to know what is going on with their teams and reporters are the conduits for that. At the same time I see the argument that these are amateur athletes. I don't know where I come down on it. The coaches were all asked on the Pac-12 teleconference yesterday and it was split down the middle. It's a tough debate.

For the purpose of this response, TeenHealthFX is going to go on the assumption that by "assault" you mean sexually assault. FX would first like to point out that very often people do not expect that someone they know would try to assault them. But the fact is that very often people are assaulted by someone who is close to them. It could be someone like a friend, date, family member, or neighbor – a person who has spent some time building up trust and then violates that trust in the most terrible way.
FX would also like to note that very often people mistake abusive behaviors in a partner as being caring in nature. For example, if a person is given a cell phone by their significant other and constantly has to have check-ins to report whereabouts or who they are with – some people will see this as their significant other just being protective and caring. But the fact is that this kind of behavior is abusive and is about power and control, not about being caring. So, in liking him, it possible that you saw some of your coworkers' behaviors towards you as caring when, in fact, they were about something else altogether.
FX can understand that you would feel angry about what happened to you and thinks that it is very important for you to take some kind of action. Whether you want to report his behavior to your manager, get a new job, or whatever else – it is important that you not stay in a situation where it could happen again and where he can feel like he got away with such terrible behavior. But doing nothing he has the power of feeling like he got away with it and may think he can get away with it again. FX understands that you do not want to make things worse by making an issue of it – but it is important that you speak to someone who can give you guidance about how to handle the situation in a way where he has to face some consequence for what he did and where you are safe from any further harm.
If you find you continue to be attracted to this person despite his attempt to assault you, FX thinks that it would be helpful for you to speak with a therapist about it. FX hopes that all of our readers are able to establish healthy, loving dating relationships. But if you see tendencies in yourself that may draw you towards people who are abusive or hurtful in nature, you may want to discuss this with a mental health professional. FX would like to stress that you are not responsible if a person abuses you in any way, but if you find you are attracted to people who are abusive rather than loving, it is something to look at.
For further help and information, talk to a parent, school counselor or any other trusted adult. And consider contacting the following:
Teens often abuse prescription drugs because of the myth that these drugs provide a medically safe high.
It is estimated that major depressive disorder (MDD) affects about 5% of adolescents, and that between 10 - 15% of adolescents have some symptoms of depression at any one time.
Statistics show that giving a teen a credit card does not teach them to be financially responsible or to encourage self-restraint, but actually promotes a "spend now and deal with the consequences later" mindset.
Girls are more likely to intentionally abuse prescription drugs than boys.
The reality of excessive interest rates and fees that often accompany credit card use for teens, can put youngsters in a position where they are losing out on admission to graduate school, getting a job, or renting an apartment because of damaged credit history.
Less than 33% of teens with depression get help, yet 80% of teens with depression can be successfully treated if they seek help from a doctor or therapist.
Traffic crashes are the greatest single cause of death for all persons age 6-33, and about 45% of these fatalities are alcohol-related crashes.
About 6.2 million Americans get a new genital HPV infection each year.
30% of teens with depression also have a substance abuse problem.
Freshmen bring an average of $1,585.00 in credit card debt to college.
About a third of women who seek services related to unprotected sex, such as pregnancy testing or emergency contraception, do not receive STD counseling, testing, or treatment.
7-10% of college students will drop out of school because of credit problems.
Teens with untreated depression are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, leading to higher rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Most smokers begin smoking as teens, and the average age of initiation is 12.5 years of age.
People with manic symptoms and Bipolar Disorder II are at a significant risk of later developing an alcohol abuse or dependence problem.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, accounting for 36% of all deaths in this age group.
The teen pregnancy rate in the United States is the highest of any industrialized democracy, nearly twice that of Great Britain and 10 times that of Japan. 4
Compared with other age groups, teens have the lowest rate of seat belt use, and male high school students are more likely than female students to rarely or never wear seat belts.
A national study of women ages 15-44 found that women were almost twice as likely to receive contraceptive services rather than STD services.
The teenage pregnancy rate in the U.S. is at its lowest level in thirty years, down 36% since its peak in 1990. Research suggests that both increased abstinence and positive changes in contraceptive practice are responsible these recent declines in teen pregnancy.
A sexually active teenager who does not use contraceptives has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within one year. 8
In the United States, at least 5-10 million girls and women and 1 million boys and men are struggling with eating disorders. 11
Among male drivers between 15 and 20 years of age who were involved in fatal crashes in 2005, 38% were speeding at the time of the crash and 24% had been drinking.
Homicide is the second leading cause of death among 15- to 24-year-olds overall. 16
Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. 22
One in four teenage girls in the U.S. had at least one common sexually transmitted disease.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youths ages 15 to 20. 19
The highest Chlamydia rates occurred among women ages 15 to 19 and 20 to 24.
About 44% of rape victims are under age 18. Three out of every twenty victims (15%) are under age 12. 25
Each year, half of all HIV infections are among people under the age of 25.
Crash risk is particularly high during the first year that teenagers are eligible to drive.
One out of every six American women have been the victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. A total of 17.7 million women have been victims of these crimes. 23
Teen girls ages 15-19 have the highest Gonorrhea rate of any age group.
The motor vehicle death rate for male drivers and passengers ages 16-19 is more than one and half times that of their female counterparts.
More than four in 10 young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20 - nearly one million teen pregnancies a year 3
The presence of teen passengers increases the crash risk of unsupervised teen drivers; the risk increases with the number of teen passengers.
Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in this country. More than 400,000 Americans die from tobacco-related causes each year, and most of them began using tobacco before the age of 18.
The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16- to 19-year-olds than among any other age group.
Underage drinking costs the U.S. more than $58 billion every year; enough to buy every public school student a state-of-the-art computer.
At all levels of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), the risk of involvement in a motor vehicle crash is greater for teens than for older drivers.
Teens who drink are more likely to be victims of violent crimes and sexual assault, have serious problems in school, be involved in drinking-related traffic crashes, and develop problems with alcohol later in life.
Nearly all the poison deaths in the U.S. are attributed to drugs, and most drug poisonings result from the abuse of prescription and illegal drugs.
Alcohol kills 6.5 times more youth than all other illicit drugs combined.
Persons aged 15-24, who represent only 14% of the U.S. population, account for 30% ($19 billion) of the total costs of motor vehicle injuries among males and 28% ($7 billion) among females.
Among young people ages 12-17, prescription drugs have become the second most abused illegal drug, behind marijuana.
