Russell Long: A Life in Politics - Michael Martin, PHD.
Dr. Michael Martin is currently a professor in history at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He is also the Director of the Center of Louisiana Studies which recieved the Chair's Institutional Award in 2012.
"Michael Martin's new book on Russell Long completes the trilogy of the three most significant Longs of Louisiana, adding Russell to Huey and Earl. Russell, the son of Huey and the nephew of Earl, led a longer, more sedate, and in some ways more substantial career than the more flamboyant Longs, who flamed and flared out spectacularly. Russell worked behind the scenes, brought many federal dollars to Louisiana, and was respected by his U.S. Senate colleagues.
Martin's book, thoroughly researched, flows like the Mississippi, dominating the state with comparable current. Unlike his father and uncle, Russell rarely aroused hurricane-force winds. This is a book about Louisiana, the South, and the nation, during a crucial era, eloquently written, researched with painstaking diligence by one of Louisiana's leading historians."--Glen Jeansonne, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Scientists demonstrate teleportation according to Dave Munger at Cognitive Daily, who also raises this small point:
The article goes on to point out that we're still a long way from Star Trek-style teleportation, but it doesbring up my favorite Star Trek dilemma. If you are subjected to teleportation, your molecules are disassembled and reassembled somewhere else, right? Even if the newly created being has all your thoughts and memories, is it still you? Wasn't the original destroyed? From your perspective, haven't you died?
The original CNN article is here.
First thought: these quantum spooks are messing with our neat categories aren't they? Here, not here? - aligned, not aligned? - Dead, not dead?
Second thought: I'm at this moment picturing a mind blowing demo at the '07 ideaFestival.

Michael Leon "M. L." Carr (born January 9, 1951) is an American former professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and American Basketball Association (ABA), and former head coach and General Manager of the Boston Celtics. He coached the Celtics for two seasons, posting a career record of 48 wins and 116 losses.
Playing career[edit]
After graduating from Guilford College, Carr was selected by the Kentucky Colonels of the American Basketball Association with the 7th pick of the 5th round of the 1973 NBA draft. However, he was one of the final roster cuts the Colonels made in camp, and was subsequently released.[1] The following season, Carr played in Israel for the Israel Sabras in the European Pro Basketball league. For leading his team to the championship, leading the league in scoring, and emerging second in rebounding, he was named Most Valuable Player.
During the 1975–76 NBA season, Carr played for the Spirits of St. Louis in the ABA, averaging 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, and was named to the ABA's All-Rookie Team.[1] The Spirits of St. Louis were one of two ABA teams (the Colonels being the other) that did not join the NBA in the ABA–NBA merger,[1] and as a result Carr joined the NBA as a member of the Detroit Pistons from 1976–79. After being selected to the All-Defense second team during the 1979 season and leading the league in steals, Carr was signed as a free agent by the rebuilding Boston Celtics. Pistons coach Dick Vitale responded by saying, "We just had the heart and soul ripped from our team." The Carr acquisition was one of the four major additions which immediately propelled the Celtics back to the top of the NBA standings after finishing near the bottom the previous season, along with majority owner Harry Mangurian, head coach Bill Fitch and rookie forward Larry Bird. Carr was instrumental in leading the Celtics' defense past the favored Philadelphia 76ers in the 1981 Eastern Conference Finals, on the way to Boston's 14th NBA championship. Playing for the Celtics until 1985, Carr averaged 9.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game during his NBA career.
He is best known for the steal and dunk he made in overtime of Game 4 of the 1984 NBA Finals versus the Lakers in Los Angeles, which sealed the victory for Boston, and eventually won another title for them. He is also famous for waving a towel during crucial situations to fire up the Celtics.[2]
Coaching career[edit]
Carr later became the General Manager of the Celtics in 1994. He later took over as coach for the 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons. In his last year as coach, the Celtics had the worst record in team history, winning just 15 games and losing 67 in a tactical effort to get a stronger draft position and poise the team for a comeback under famed college coach Rick Pitino.[citation needed] He was replaced at the end of season by Pitino, who was unable to restore the team to the glory of Carr's playing days. After the 1997 season, he became the Celtics' Director of Corporate Development.
Carr later became president of the WNBA's Charlotte Sting as part of a failed attempt to become the owner of an expansion NBA team in Charlotte, along with Steve Belkin and former teammate Larry Bird. He was given a small investment stake in the Charlotte Bobcats when Bob Johnson was selected to have the NBA franchise in Charlotte. Subsequently, Bob Johnson sold the team and ML Carr no longer has a relationship with the Bobcat franchise.
Carr currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts with his wife Sylvia, where he is a businessman.[3]

The nation is safe. Its people are surviving. But at what cost and for how long?
Piecing together the remnants of a defunct psychic research program, a brilliant but heinous anti-terrorist group searches for unique candidates, employing a government black ops force to hunt and enlist individuals predisposed with psychic abilities.
In pursuit of two very different missing persons, ex-FBI man Kellen Rand and broadcast executive Lorna Novak merge unexpectedly in a race to find answers, revealing difficult truths along the way. As Lorna searches for her abducted twelve-year-old niece, Kellen tracks down a missing Indian Shaman named January, whose exceptional abilities may be the key to saving millions of lives.
Trampling civil rights for the sake of the nation's survival, this "end justifies the means" conspiracy is delicately intertwined with January's fascination with an elusive hidden relic hidden for centuries somewhere in the San Juan Islands - a relic that may have shocking universal significance.
With their paths colliding once more and their lives rapidly transforming, Kellen and Lorna must defeat the veiled, yet powerful schemes of this brewing crisis as scientists prey on the minds of the innocent, archeologists rush to unravel an ancient mystery, and the reader, along with the rest of the world, awaits the startling revelations of The Find.

911 calls document fear, confusion following shooting that killed Draper officer
DRAPER — A series of 911 calls released Wednesday paint a picture of confusion and fear in a quiet Draper neighborhood on the morning Sgt. Derek Johnson was shot and killed.
The calls are short, as concerned residents asked for help and answers on Sept. 1, moments after Timothy Troy Walker, 35, opened fire, hitting Johnson and the woman travelling with him, Traci Lee Vaillancourt, 34, before shooting himself, police said.
"Get someone down here. There has been some shots fired," said a female caller, reporting she heard at least four shots. "There's a girl out there screaming. She's outside. I don't dare open the front door."
Walker and Vaillancourt's car was broken down near 13200 S. Fort St. (850 East), damaged from driving through a nearby fence, when Johnson pulled up about 6 a.m., shattering the neighborhood's quiet Sunday morning.
"We just woke up to shooting sounds, and there were people screaming," said one woman. "My husband thinks he can hear a female and a male voice. They said, 'I have been shot.'"
Johnson was shot in his vehicle, which went off the road and crashed. One man called to tell dispatchers he could see the wrecked patrol vehicle from his house.
"It looks like it's actually a law enforcement vehicle that crashed," he said, adding that police were arriving.
With much still unknown, residents were told to stay in their homes as police began a manhunt through the area.
"Just stay in your house at this time. We do have calls, and officers are on their way out there," a dispatcher told one man who called to report the gunshots.
Johnson was taken by medical helicopter to an area hospital, but was pronounced dead after arrival. Community members and law enforcement officers from across the state came together to remember the fallen officer, husband and father.
Upon his release from the hospital, Walker was booked into Salt Lake County Jail and charged with aggravated murder. He faces a potential death sentence if convicted.
Vaillancourt, who Walker allegedly shot in the back while she sat in the car with him, faces two obstruction of justice charges after her accounts of the shooting contradicted each other. An attorney says trauma has impacted her memory.

Скачать Future Orientation: Developmental and Ecological Perspectives бесплатно
Rachel Seginer, "Future Orientation: Developmental and Ecological Perspectives " Publisher: Springer | 2009-03-13 | 258 Pages | ISBN: 0387886400 | PDF | 2 MB Where am I going? What do I want to do with my life? Such questions are typical of—even essential to—adolescence and continue to influence individuals throughout their lifetimes. And although human beings are capable of anticipating future events even as infants, the teen years are the peak period for weighing options and setting long-range goals. Future Orientation: Development and Ecological Perspectives synthesizes a wealth of theory and empirical data to explore future thinking as both a developmental process and an individual one. Starting with its origins in childhood, the book identifies the forces that affect this evolution, from early interactions with parents to personality traits and self-processes. Adolescents' future orientation is analyzed by its influences—a complex network of gender expectations, family and peer relationships, and cultural variables—and is, in turn, linked to developmental outcomes at school, capacity for intimacy, and adjustment in emerging adulthood and in adult life. This unique volume: Examines future orientation as an aspect of positive psychology, focusing on the stages of preadolescence, adolescence, and emerging adulthood. Relates future orientation with other psychological constructs relevant to this age group, including identity and self-esteem. Offers ecological and developmental perspectives to explore the effects of family members and peer groups on future thinking. Compares adolescent future thinking across cultures and discusses the roles of gender and gender constructs in future orientation. Complements developmental and educational psychology as well as counseling and parental guidance courses. Given the current climate of rapid social change, Future Orientation is an invaluable reading for researchers, clinicians, and practitioners, including child and school psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, and others who work with young people during this critical juncture.

by Adele
Adele's 2009 debut album, 19, was a Grammy-winning smash hit that revealed the British singer/songwriter's knack for bittersweet soul and folk-infused love songs that brought to mind an infectious mix of Dusty Springfield and Terry Callier. The album earned her a ton of fans, and interest was high for the inevitable follow-up./a>/i>

Adele's sophomore effort is absolutely amazing. She takes my breath away with every song. DO NOT MISS OUT on this album. Every song gives you something different, and she never leaves you wanting. 21 is centered around a past relationship, and she takes you through every high and low, and gives you a sense of closure. MUCH LOVE to this album. I can only imagine that she will get better with every album. Cannot wait for the third one!
The first time I heard Rolling in the Deep on the car radio I knew I had to hear it again, and again, and then, again. But from start to finish this album is unbelievable. She's good! I'm falling in love with One and Only. This is a talent that puts all the rest to shame. Such a powerful voice. This is blue-eyed soul at it's best.
When Adele first arrived three years ago with her debut album, "19", she proved she was a very adept singer-songwriter as well as a very good guitarist and pianist. No one had any idea how great her range was going to be. With the death of Amy Winehouse this summer, the mantle of the great blue-eyed, soulful British songstress has passed over to Adele. Dressed in a bouffant looking like Dusty Springfield (with a mouth like Eminem), Adele has managed to record not only a more superior album but what could be the album of the year. "21" was supposedly inspired by one of Adele's failed relationships (she won't say who). So, this record is her way of saying, "I've been hurt and now, I want everyone to know it!" That becomes apparent from the moment you hear the soaring opening track, "Rolling In The Deep". Her influences are all over the place on this album; for instance, "Rumour Has It", sounds like the best duet Annie Lennox and Amy Winehouse never recorded. She can even take a countryfied, almost "American Idol"esque tune like "Don't You Remember" and make it sound heartbreakingly genuine. However, Adele's finest moments are the acoustic tunes, particularly "Someone Like You", a piano-solo number which closes the album on an emotionally high note. Throughout the album, though, Adele aims for the moon and hits it, repeatedly. While singers like Taylor Swift write about heartbreak as if they were writing Hallmark sympathy cards, Adele has mentioned that her singing idol is Sinead O'Connor, who made a career of confessional, confrontational music that was once promising. If Adele doesn't get too messed up, she just might succeed. Right now, she is definitely the real deal.
Adele is so ridiculously talented. This album sends you on a brilliant tour of musical genres with classic Adele style. And that voice...simply amazing! You're not living until you check it out...your soul (and ears) will thank you!
Adele's mesmerizing raspy voice is the perfect blend of blues and soul. With compelling original songs like "Someone Like You" and "Rolling in the Deep" you can't help but connect with her on a emotional level. Can't wait to see if she comes out with a new album soon. I am absolutely in love with her voice...must get album for sure!
Adele puts her heart and soul into this album. I have not stop playing it yet. Amazing cd wonderfull song writer and singer.
Beatiful lyrics sung by an amazing and pwerful voice, complimented by a piano in the background. I recommend this to ALL. It.s raw emotion, touching, relatable music.
"21" by Adele is very heartfelt and original. I was convinced to check out the cd when I saw my husband viewing the online video of one of the military females doing an excellent cover of "Rolling in the Deep". I also enjoy this cd because Adele put so much of her heart and her feelings about her former love into many of her songs. My favorite musical gem in "21" is Adele's cover of "Lovesong". "Lovesong" is a great song about loving someone through many years regardless of what happens in life. "21" by Adele is best to get for anyone that enjoys pop songs about the dramatic side of love.
This album blew me away. Amazing stylistic range and what a voice!
Best album for 2011 but I've got it in my car and listen almostly daily. Love every song on it.
LOVE her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally an artist that can appeal across the generational divide! This CD is for anyone that appreciates excellent arrangements, heartfelt lyrics and superior vocals on each track. The first time I heard 'Someone like You' was on the radio. Let me tell you I cried driving back home. I knew right then and there this CD was worth the money. Adele takes me back to my very young days of Carole King and my
not-so-young days of Bonnie Rait. For me her true artistry is on full display with two songs that showcase her talent: 'Turning Tables'(my favorite), and 'Rumour Has It'. She is timeless and retro... and extraordinarily gifted!
I absolutely love this CD. Adele has topped herself. The accoustatics and ad lib vocals are perfect. I can't stop playing this CD.
I absolutely love Adele's music, voice, and lyrics. She keeps her tracks simple, but her voice is so strong and carries so well that if she made just an acapella song it would be perfect, in my opinion. I would tell anyone to listen to her music!
Another great Adele cd.
adele has an amazing voice and has great songs. skyfall is my favorite, and is also a song we will be performing in marching band!
she is very good!
I love this cd of Adele. She is a great singer and she is so beautiful. can't wait to see what kind of albums she will make in the future. She's talented :-)
A wonderful vocal bluesy soul album with a number of excellent individual songs.
Adele has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Her music is so inspiring and her songs move the nations.
This is an Amazing album by an Amazing and beautiful artist I was instantly hooked the fist time I heard Rolling in the deep I knew I had to hear more by her by the way you should also listin to her first album 19 is magnifacent as well

Keeping Red Wiggler worms in worm bins for Organic Gardening
Red Wiggler womrs for Worm bins
Red Wiggler Worms on Your Worm Bin
Choosing Red Wiggler worms as composting worms to have a steady source organic fertilizer in your worm bins will be a great support for your organic gardening endeavors. Red Wiggler worms are heavy eaters and with all those eating, they produce highly nutritious soil conditioning worm poop or worm castings up to as much as 75% of their own body weights in 24 hours. Worm castings are much more nutritious than your ordinary "hot" compost as worm castings are 5 times richer in nitrogen, 7 times richer in phosphates and 11 times richer in Potassium. Red Wiggler worms are Epigeic worms which means that these worms live on the soil's surface and won't burrow any deeper than 12 inches from the surface of the soil which in turn maintains the soil loose and aerated.
Worm Bin
Setting Up Your Own Red Wiggler Worm Bin
Setting up your own Red Wiggler worms bin is easy but if you don't have time to build one, you can purchase commercial worm bins available online or at your local garden store i.e. Can O Worms.
When setting up a homemade Worm bin, you'll need the following materials:
- A shallow container with holes and a lid
- Bedding materials: dried grass, dried leaves, plain shredded paper, pieces of cardboards and soil
- Organic waste materials for worm food such as: organic kitchen wastes and organic lawn wastes
- Composting worms preferably Red Wiggler worms
A few tips on managing a worm farm with Eisenia Foetida- when keeping a large worm composting bin outdoors, it is very important that you place your worm bins where it won't be subjected to direct sunlight. Red Wiggler worms can only survive with temperature ranges 16° - 28°C (60° - 80°F) They will be sluggish on lower ends and will double all their activities especially foraging and copulating in the higher ends of their temperature ranges. On tolerable high temperatures, when there's an abundance of food, Red Wiggler worms can eat about 1 & ½ times their own body weights in 24 hours and can produce worm castings as much as 75% of their body weights. This means that you're converting the organic waste part of your garbage into a supply of organic fertilizers for your gardening or indoor potted plants inside your worm bins. What a great way to cut down on your total garbage volume and save money on fertilizers.
Commercial Worm Bins
Commercial Worm Bin Management
Small commercially available worm bins are usually placed neatly below the sink for those who reside in the city that don't have a lawn or front yard. Can O Worm bins are great for organic kitchen wastes for easy access when disposing organic wastes like fruits and vegetable peelings, table scraps, leftovers in the fridge, egg shells, coffee grounds and filters etc., etc.,
Things to remember when keeping a Worm Bin indoor:
- Always make sure to feed your worms properly and enough to prevent them from migrating and try to get out of your worm bins.
- Make sure to always place a lid on your worm bin to prevent them from escaping in case there's something wrong with their environment inside your worm bin.
- Avoid introducing meat and dairy products as food for them to keep your worm bin from smelling too bad
- Place your indoor worm bin at a place where it won't be disturbed or be an obstacle to others to prevent the worms from having too much disturbance and try to migrate.
Managing Worm Bins
Proper Care and Maintenance of Worm Bins
Red Wiggler worms need a moist environment to live in. It is best to spray a mist of water into your new bedding before introducing it to the worms. When introducing food, you may cover the food with moistened papers to encourage the worms in feeding more. When your worm bin content gets too wet and soggy, just add more shredded papers. A good worm bedding to be used are coir beddings because it retains moisture. It's available at your local pet stores. For moisture to be distributed evenly on your worm bin contents, it's best if it's pressed or kneaded a couple of times until it only has a less drops of water or moisture.

Diagnostic trouble code "P0171" indicates that bank one of the system is running lean. A lean condition occurs when the ratio of fuel to air in the combustion chamber of the engine has too much air. The most cause of this code is a vacuum leak, a dirty mass airflow sensor (MAF) and a faulty O2 Sensor. Pinpointing the exact cause takes the skilful use of an automotive scan tool that has the capability to read data from the on-board computer.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Scan tool
- Needle-nose pliers
- Tamper-proof Torx driver set
Show More
- 1
Attach the scan tool and start the engine. Allow the engine to run to operating temperature. With the engine running, visually inspect the engine for obvious vacuum leaks. Listen for hissing, which indicates a vacuum leak especially on bank 1. Bank 1 is the side of the engine that has the No. 1 spark plug. Refer to your service manual for this information.
- 2
Attach your scan tool and enter the data stream diagnostic mode. Observe O2 sensor data, and MAF sensor data. Remove a vacuum line from the engine while observing the O2 sensor for a change. It should momentarily read lean—more than 1/2 volt—and then settle into its normal switching mode. If the sensor stays lean, replace the sensor. This is called a lazy O2 sensor and is a common cause for code P0171.
- 3
Observe the MAF sensor data. Remove the MAF sensor from the sensor housing in the intake duct or air filter housing, using a T-15 Torx driver. Clean the MAF sensor, using MAF sensor cleaner spray. Reinstall the MAF sensor and start the engine. Observe the MAF sensor data for a change in sensor reading. A dirty MAF sensor is also a common cause of a code P0171 and is usually fixed by cleaning it. If vacuum leaks and O2 sensors have been eliminated as the actual cause and cleaning the MAF doesn't fix the problem, replace the MAF sensor.
Tips and warnings
- Wear safety glasses and work gloves when working around a running engine to prevent serious injuries.

A few years back, tattoos are actually a type of body modifications that are not that well understood by many. It is usually associated to signs of rebellion or negative things that are happening to a person's life. There are also only a few people who get themselves inked as, again, it is not very much welcomed by the society.
Gone were those days as tattoos already have a new meaning in this generation. It symbolizes something that is important to people and their lives. The tattoo designs that a person want to have may vary according to different reasons. Whatever the reasons may be, a tattoo can give a person an outlet for showing his or her individuality.
Tattoo designs, as a tool to help express someone's character may vary. Famous tattoo designs are
Body parts that are also famous for getting tattoos at are
If you are planning to get a tattoo, be sure to not go with what is the trend. Always make sure that it symbolizes something that is truly important to you. As long as you do not have it removed through procedures, you need to keep in mind that it is already a part of your identity, so it should go with the things that you believe in and how you want to be projected.
If you are planning to get one, we offer you some reminders before getting one:
No matter what tattoo you plan to get, be guided by these things. As more than the aesthetic, safety and being at ease with the tattoo throughout the duration of it being in your body should also be a concern.

"Ruthann Aron was sexually abused by her father starting when she was 7
years old, a secret she kept for years and one that explains why the
Montgomery County politician ultimately plotted to kill a husband who
had cheated on her and left her twice, her attorney said yesterday.
"In the opening arguments of Aron's murder-for-hire trial, Barry H.
Helfand portrayed his client as a deeply depressed and dependent woman
who once suffered a brain injury that impaired her judgment and ability
to control impulses. Between that and a lifetime spent hiding her
childhood abuse, she could not understand that what whe was doing was
against the law or stop herself, he said. Helfand did not deny that in
1997 the 55-year-old Potomac millionaire tried to hire a hit man to kill
her husband, urologist Barry Aron, and Baltimore lawyer Arthur G. Kahn." –Washington Post, Feb. 27, 1998, p. B1.
Please notice that the lawyer said that her childhood trauma had
rendered her unable to "understand that what she was doing was against
the law" rather than saying that it had made her unable to tell right
from wrong. Someone getting ready to present the psychobabble defense
can't be heard slipping back into that old ativistic notion that there
is such a thing as right or wrong, good or evil, can he?
"So he's just a lawyer doing his job," you say, "a man trying to make
lemonade out of the lemon of a case he has taken on." Okay, but what
can one say in defense of the nine (9) (IX) psychiatrists-psychologists
who were able to persuade only one stubborn juror–thereby causing
a mistrial–that Ruthann, a member of her county planning board and
former candidate for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, was
not criminally responsible for her actions?
I was thinking of that, of the fact that Ruthann with her money was able
to get nine times more people from the psychology profession to argue
her ridiculous case than was Kenneth Starr to argue his, and of the
numerous family members of Parents Against Corruption and Cover-up who
have been victimized by fraudulent post-mortem psychoanalyses when I
penned the following poem:
Let's hear it for expert witnesses,
If the cops want to say, "Self-murder,"
And if the defense is well-heeled,
Oh, concerning Ken Starr's case, here is the conclusion of part 3 of my "America's Dreyfus Affair." And the web site of Parents Against Corruption and Cover-up is one of the links at my web site, for those who want to look farther into this particular manifestation of the corruption of the psychiatric profession.
Speaking of the ever-flexible "expert witness" breed,
though Dr. (Henry) Lee certainly did yeoman's work for the legal team
representing O.J. Simpson, no group has demonstrated a greater readiness
to please a well-heeled or powerful client than have the members of the
psychology profession. It is never very hard to find one ready to defy
common sense with jargon and references to the psychology literature,
the modern version of the soothsayer's incantations. It is altogether
fitting then that Starr should vest so much importance in the work of
the "suicidologist" (Dr. Alan L.) Berman, letting him bat last, or
"cleanup," as it were, in his report. Berman does not disappoint. He
dismisses the fact that the "suicidally depressed" Foster ate a hearty
final meal by telling us that "there is no study in the professional
literature that has examined eating behavior prior to suicide" and that
"even death row inmates, knowing they are to die within a short time,
eat a last meal." So much for gumption and introspection. The absence
of a study--upon which we are forced to take Dr. Berman's word--is here
glibly equated with the absence of the phenomenon itself, and impending
execution of a psychologically normal person is equated with a bout of
clinical depression so acute that it results in suicide. It must be
nice to be an expert.
At this point, Starr weighs in with brand, spanking new, never before seen evidence from Dr. Watkins in Little Rock (somewhat like the new evidence that Vince actually cried over dinner on the Friday before his death, which would have had to be at the Tidewater Inn on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a fact of which Starr does not remind us). First we had silence from Watkins. Then we had the prescription of trazadone (brand name Desyrel) for insomnia, not depression, as reported in the Fiske Report. Now, out of the blue, we are told he typed up notes on July 21 (which he inexplicably kept to himself for who knows how long) and they say this: "I talked to Vince on 7/19/93, at which time he complained of anorexia and insomnia. He had no GI (gastrointestinal) symptoms. We discussed the possibility of taking Axid or Zantac to help with any ulcer symptoms as he was under a lot of stress. He was concerned about the criticism they were getting and the long hours he was working at the White House. He did feel that he had some mild depression. I started him on Desyrel, 50 mg. He was to start with one at bedtime and move up to three....I receive word at 10:20 p.m. on 7/20/93 that he had committed suicide." Isn't it curious that Dr. Watkins would go to the trouble to write this down the day after he heard of Foster's death and two days after he supposedly made the prescription, but apparently would not bother to tell key officials about it? We have been told on the record that he was brought into the case more than a week later when a note was found in Foster's office mentioning a return of a Foster call by Watkins. This is almost as curious as the list of psychiatrists appearing in Park Police records for the first time on July 27, though the contents of Foster's car and wallet were gone through thoroughly and inventoried on the night of July 20. But forget about such skepticism for the moment. Let's return to the world of shrink talk, where a rock-solid, highly successful lawyer can be unrecognizably transformed to suit the client: "Dr. Berman reported that '[m]istakes, real or perceived, posed a profound threat to his self-esteem/self/worth and represented evidence for a lack of control over his environment. Feelings of unworthiness, inferiority, and guilt followed and were difficult for him to tolerate. There are signs of an intense and profound anguish, harsh self-evaluation, shame, and chronic fear. All these on top of an evident clinical depression and his separation from the comforts and security of Little Rock. He, furthermore, faced a feared humiliation should he resign and return to Little Rock.' The torn note 'highlights his preoccupation with themes of guilt, anger, and his need to protect others.'" (by killing himself? ed.) If that doesn't convince you try this: "In his report, Dr. Berman first noted that '[d]escriptors used by interviewees with regard to Vincent Foster's basic personality were extraordinarily consistent in describing a controlled, private, perfectionistic character whose public persona as a man of integrity, honesty, and unimpeachable reputation was of utmost importance.'" What he does not tell us is that interviewees, on the record, were also quite consistent in describing a man who seemed perfectly normal in every way, but what does such an apparently admirable "basic personality" have to do with suicide, anyway? Well, at this point we have a footnote: "Dr. Berman noted that '[r]ecent studies...have documented a significant relationship between perfectionism and both depression and suicidality, particularly when mediated by stress.'" It is a real shame that the Berman Report has not been made publicly available, because there is a very high probability that what we have here is a classic case of circular reasoning:
1. Vince Foster killed himself because he was a perfectionist.
Actually, it's probably even worse than circular reasoning because Dr. Berman seems to have made a bit of a leap to make a warped Felix Ungar-type out of a man who simply exhibited high standards. The likely circular reasoning is explained by a letter that I sent to the student newspaper of Yale University on February 8, 1996, with an information copy to the psychologist whose work is the subject of the letter. It was not printed, but I did get a response from the psychologist who simply thanked me for the information. I reproduce the letter to the editor here almost in its entirety. As you read it, bear in mind as well the opening quote from Edward Zehr. It is not just the propagandistic press that concerns him, but the "decay of our basic institutions." I might also note that while this long essay began with comparisons between current developments in the United States and those in France a century ago, comparisons to our late lamented cold war superpower rival can hardly be avoided.
In the case of this most recent report of the misleadingly-named Office of the Independent Counsel, as with the newspapers that reported on it, it is certainly a good deal easier to believe.

Specify how data attributes – for the specified named attribute – are mapped to node opacity. There are two modes: 'interpolate' and 'lookup'. In the former, you specify data values ('control points') and opacitys; when a node's corresponding data attribute value is exactly that of a control point, the specified opacity is used. If the node's data attribute falls between control points, then the opacity is interpolated. The 'lookup' mode provides no interpoloation, and is useful when you have a node attribute with a finite set of discrete values, each of which you you want to display in a specific opacity. For example: render all receptors with full brightness, all transcription factors faded by 50 and all kinases nearly invisible.
1 | setNodeOpacityRule(obj, node.attribute.name, control.points, opacities, mode, aspect='all')
obj |
a |
node.attribute.name |
the node attribute whose values will determine the opacity of each node when this rule is applied. |
control.points |
a list of values. In interpolate mode, a typical choice is the minimum, the maximum and some sensible midpoint. |
opacities |
a list of opacities, either two more than the number of control points (if mode='interpolate'), in which case the first opacity is used for all attributes values below the minimum, and the last opacity is used for those above the maximum. Or, if mode='lookup', the same number of opacities as control.points are expected. Opacities are expressed as integers in the range 0:255, from invisible to fully bright rendering. |
mode |
'interpolate' or 'lookup'. This roughly corresponds to the visual mapping of continuously varying data (i.e., lfc or pValue), versus visual mapping of discrete data (i.e., molecule type, or phosphorylation status). With the interpolation mode, you must specify n+2 opacitys: adding a 'below' and an 'above' opacity. In lookup mode, specify exactly as many control.points as opacities. If data attribute values are found on the nodes which do not appear in your list, they will be displayed in the default opacity. |
aspect |
a character string, with one or more of these values: 'border', 'label', 'fill', 'all' |
. The first three aspects describe elements of the displayed node: its border, its text label, and its body (or 'fill'). 'all' implies that all elements (border, label and fill) will be operated upon, equally, by this rule. If you want, for instance, the node label (its displayed name) to be visible even if the border and fill are dim, then use 'border, fill' as the aspect.

The Company of Scotland and its attempts to establish the colony of Caledonia on the inhospitable isthmus of Panama in the late seventeenth century is one of the most tragic moments of Scottish history. Devised by William Paterson, the stratagem was to create a major trading station between Europe and the East. It could have been a triumph, but inadequate preparation and organization ensured it was a catastrophe - of the 3000 settlers who set sail in 1688 and 1699, only a handful returned, the rest having succumbed to disease, and the enormous financial loss was a key factor in ensuring union with England in 1707. Based on archive research in the UK and Panama, as well as travelling to Darien itself, John McKendrick explores this fascinating and seminal moment in Scottish history and uncovers fascinating new information from New World archives about the role of the English and Spanish, and about the identities of the settlers themselves.

I had some problem with a rotator cuff about 18 years ago, (too much raquet ball !)but I was able to do 6 weeks of therapy & then some on my own for 6 months or so & got 90% back. I heard of a friend of a friend that recently had the surgery done & heard that his arm was taped to his chest, but I have no idea how long the re-hab would be. |
#2 posted 02-17-2009 08:04 PM |
Well, I've never had rotator cuff surgery, but I was an othopaedic surgery nurse for ten years. I've been in more rotator cuff surgeries than I can count. 1st, get it done as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the worse the injury becomes and the more dificult the surgery is (which can mean a poorer repair).

From another Nurse (me) I second what Dan Fash told ya. Expect some pain in recovery and also expect someone else to do any lifting for you for quite awhile. Also ask your Doc for something strong for the "breakthru" pain. (Or you could be a tough LumberJock and buck up to it…and lose sleep every night.) Vicodin is really good stuff. Get some. -- Bob Vila would be so proud of you! |

I had the right shoulder done 3 years ago, the left shoulder surgery in December. I am still recuperating. I am in PT now (PT stands for Pain and Torture by the way) ;) Get some good pain meds. Make sure you know what you can tolerate and what you can't. For instance, I can't take the strong stuff (oxycontin, etc.) but Darvocet worked great. Ultracet was prescribed for mild pain. Get a few sleeping pills for the first few nights, and plan on sleeping in a recliner until it doesn't hurt to lie in bed. Some can do it after a week, most 2 weeks. Now, you are going to get itchy after a few weeks, and the arm won't feel 'all that bad' from time to time. So you may be tempted to do only 'light stuff' in the shop, etc. DO NOT DO IT! You can easily re-tear the muscle, tear off where the Doc reattaches the muscle to the bone, etc. And then that surgery multiplies all the pain and recovery by at least 100%. Even though PT is a P.I.T.A., do it and do the exercises they give you. It will hurt, yeah, but it is worth it in the long run. Well, hope this helps a little, and please don't put off the surgery. You are only making it worse every day and every time you lift something. -- Chip -----------http://www.penmanchip.com-----------------Micah 6:8 |

I know what you mean about shop time bringing on the pain. I have to finish building cabinets for two different kitchens before my surgery, I guess I have to stay LJ tough and work through it.

isn't my own blood getting there already? I haven't heard of that, I'll have to ask the Doc. I am going to see a doc that does nothing but shoulders. Wonder if he can fix my wife when she gives me the cold shoulder? I'll deny I typed that, must have been the cat! -- Bob, Rockford IL, |

Had it done last fall, almost good as new today. The trick for the first couple of days is to sleep in your recliner. There just doesn't seem to be a comfortable way to sleep on your back or "good" side. The recliner will let you get a decent (not great) night's sleep. Take it slow, you don't need to be a jock and prove anything.

Since its inception, thousands have also flocked to
the center for a day at the pool, and the facility has also hosted such major
events as the state swim meet on 3 different occasions bringing in hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the local economy. After 5 years of operation, the
center has not been open to the public free of charge in its history; however,
to celebrate the success the center has had on the community, and to give
everyone the opportunity to see and use the facility for themselves, the center
will be open free of charge to members and non-members alike on Saturday,
January 3 for CP&R's first ever Community Wellness Day.
The Community Wellness Day will be held at the
Wellness and Aquatic Center from 7am-1pm on Saturday, January 3 with the intent
of educating, motivating, and assisting the community in attaining the number
one New Year's Resolution across the world, which is living a healthier
lifestyle in the coming year. The Community Wellness Day will feature speakers
on the topics of nutrition, building a workout program, wellness, and other
related topics. A health fair will also take place featuring several local
businesses and organizations relating to maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
Featured fitness and aquatic classes will also take place during the day
including Zumba, spin, aerobics, water aerobics, and more. In addition, the center
will also be offering free enrollment fee on any memberships to the Wellness
and Aquatic Center, and will be giving away a one year free membership in the
Polar Bear Plunge that will take place on January 3 along with the
Wellness Day. All activities are free to attend in an effort to truly make a
lasting impact of creating a stronger, healthier community.
CP&R is dedicated to providing opportunities to
the community to maintain the strongest level of health and wellness as
possible. Over the next year, CP&R plans to launch a large scale campaign
promoting a healthier lifestyle through exercising, nutrition tips, and other
aspects to build a healthier community. This initiative will involve all of our
parks and recreational facilities, and will be designed to make it as easy as
possible to have a better quality of life through healthier choices. We
encourage the entire community to come kick-start this campaign with us at the
Community Wellness Day on Saturday, January 3, 2015 from 7am-1pm as a first step
towards reducing obesity, disease, and other harmful practices in our
community. Come join us in building a stronger, healthier community!

Thai Baht Has Best Month Since July 2011 on Capital Inflows
Yumi TesoThailand's baht had the biggest monthly advance since July 2011 as international investors increased holdings of the nation's assets, while the central bank upgraded its economic growth forecast.
The currency touched a 17-month high in January as global funds pumped more than $4.3 billion into sovereign debt and equities, official data show. The Bank of Thailand said on Jan. 18 that gross domestic product will increase 4.9 percent in 2013, compared with an October estimate of 4.6 percent, citing rising exports, domestic consumption and investment.
"Amid risk-on sentiment in the market, funds have been coming to the region," said Yuji Kameoka, chief currency strategist at Daiwa Securities Co. in Tokyo. "In addition, Thailand's relatively stronger economic condition attracts more funds, putting appreciation pressure on the baht."
The baht strengthened 2.6 percent in January, the second-best performance after India's rupee among Asia's 11 most-active currencies. It fell 0.2 percent to 29.81 per dollar today as of 3:29 p.m. in Bangkok, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The currency touched 29.66 earlier, matching the level reached on Jan. 21 that was the strongest since August 2011. One-month implied volatility, a measure of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, climbed 149 basis points, or 1.49 percentage points, to 5.4 percent this month. It dropped seven basis points today.
A central bank report today showed Southeast Asia's second-largest economy posted a current-account surplus of $730 million in December after an excess of $392 million the previous month. Overseas shipments rose 14 percent after an increase of 27 percent in November. Exports contracted in seven of the first nine months of last year.
