Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
Families of September 11 is proud to offer our annual Spring Resource Guide, Remembrance and Wellness: Where we are in 2007. As a member, you will be receiving it in the mail, but you can also view it on our website, click here. In this edition, we focus on post-traumatic growth, with articles from experts on the subject, testimonials from our members, and helpful resources. The Guide also includes tips for resiliency during times of war and other information regarding FOS11 activities.
As a community, we continue to recognize the strength it takes to move through the pain and loss of 9/11, though we also acknowledge the growth that occurs through that experience and some of the positive changes survivors have made in their lives. This experience is unique for everyone, and we appreciate each individual's personal struggles and growth. Families of September 11 explores this idea in the Resource guide, and Advisory Board member Julian Ford describes this well in his featured article, "Ultimately, recovery and growth are equally valuable and equally challenging to achieve in the wake of trauma. Often the greatest sign of growth is not an "aha" experience of profound enlightenment or stunning empowerment, but the very quiet inner knowledge of being on a life path that fulfills one's goals and potentials while also honoring loved ones who are a part of one's life whether they are physically present or not."
Change and post-traumatic growth have been discussed in the past two FOS11 chats, and will be the topic for the upcoming chat on June 20th. You can learn more about the FOS11 chat program, and enroll for this upcoming chat by clicking here.
"Post-traumatic growth also is a reminder to the society at large and to helping professionals that trauma affected people and communities have the potential for more than just survival and recovery, and that they are a source of inspiration and role model." – Julian D. Ford, PhD.
Issues Update
Conviction of Mounir el Mottassadeq Upheld
Some of the families of those that died on September 11th participated in the proceedings as co-plaintiffs. They were represented with dedication and interest by two German attorneys: Dr. Ulrich von Jeinsen and Andreas Schultz. Both attorneys served "pro bono", with no cost to the participating families.
Although Motassadeq original conviction was finally affirmed by the Hamburg court - as was the fifteen year prison term - the result of the Hamburg trials was mixed since the other defendant was ultimately acquitted and set free. Some involved in the proceeding felt that the lack of cooperation by the US Department of Justice to share with the German courts the evidence needed and the access to the witnesses requested that lengthened the procedures and made convictions more difficult. Families of September 11 will continue to support the United States and other governments' efforts to ensure terrorists are held to account.

Volunteer Opportunity with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
The program allows volunteers to speak to Transportation Security Officers (TSO's) at their local airport alongside FOS11 Board Member, Carie Lemack. This is your opportunity to get involved in a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of thorough and consistent security checks. You will have the unique opportunity to visit with screeners, express solidarity, empower yourself and share your story. This program will engage volunteers nationwide and will allow you to:
Volunteer and survivor of 62nd Floor WTC 2, Greg Clark said about his experience with this program, "I found the experience of talking to the TSA team in Miami very rewarding. After surviving the 9-11 attacks I have been searching for ways to prevent something like this happening to other people. The TSA personnel have a really tough job and they were very appreciative of my telling of how I escaped the trade center on 9-11, afterwards many came and thanked me and gave me a hug. I hope that the message we delivered will help keep the TSA people on the top of their game protecting us from another tragedy."

New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has reasserted that he plan on playing on Sunday after confirming that the swelling in his knee has decreased. New York Post writer Paul Schwartz tweeted that his swelling is "gone" so there are slightly conflicting bits of information out there. Either way, Nicks is determined to play in Week 10 having already missed multiple games this season.
Fantasy Analysis:
Nicks may not be 100 percent, but he's worth a shot for most fantasy owners as a flex. When at his best, the former University of North Carolina star is capable of putting up huge numbers. Look no further than his game earlier in the season against Tampa Bay when he caught 10 of 15 targets for 199 yards and a score. It's a risky proposition to start him after only catching one pass for 10 yards last week, but the four-year vet is capable of much more if he can play close to full speed.

AGTS News: Daisuke ('08) and Yoriko ('99) Yabuki host Japanese restoration conference featuring tsunami survivor
Adapted from an article by Dan Van Veen, AG News
Pastor Ito Hiroshi knows a little something about restoration. Two
years ago, a massive tsunami struck Japan. Hiroshi was there and witnessed the unimaginable destruction first hand. He's also been
there the last two years, helping to restore the country physically through his work with Convoy of Hope and rebuild a nation
spiritually through prayer and the gospel message.
The second annual Japanese Conference, held in Springfield, Missouri, March 12-14, 2013, had the theme of "restoration" and featured Pastor Hiroshi as a keynote speaker. In addition to
sharing graphic images of the intense destruction the tsunami left
behind in Japan, Hiroshi offered evidence of how God is
working through the devastation to reveal Himself to a formerly
resistant culture.
Daisuke ('08) and Yoriko ('99) Yabuki
"Pastor Hiroshi will also speak on how God can restore our own
personal life, no matter what the damage," said Yoriko Yabuki ('99) before the confrerence, who
with her husband, Daisuke ('08), are appointed Japanese Assemblies of God
missionaries and are lead hosts of the conference. "His personal testimony of how God healed his difficult health condition as he
helped those suffering around him is very inspirational."
Hosted at Central Assembly of God, where the Yabukis serve as
international pastors, the conference also served as an
opportunity for pastors to learn about joining the Japanese
Fellowship. Assemblies of God Ethnic Relations Director Scott Temple
hosted an informational meeting on the topic.
Other speakers for the conference included: Dr. James Bradford, AG
general secretary; Dr. Byron Klaus, president of the Assemblies of God Theological
Seminary; Dale Crall, pastor of Calvary Campus Church in Carbondale, Illinois; Jeff Peterson, pastor of the host church, Central Assembly of God; Steve Smith, missionary to the Japanese in Michigan; the Yabukis; and Sandi Bradford, wife of Dr. James Bradford, who
lead a women-only session.
"This event is targeted to the Japanese pastor who has U.S.
credentials, the U.S. pastor who leads a Japanese ministry and those
who have a God-given desire to reach Japanese and their Americans
families for Christ," Daisuke Yabuki said. "We also welcome
non-Christian Japanese people and we will have breakout sessions
just for them to help them understand the gospel."

Nick Cannon pens open letter to Amanda Bynes
(Yahoo!) - In a move that single-handedly might prove that humanity exists in Hollywood, Nick Cannon has penned a tender and supportive open letter to Amanda Bynes. Referring to the troubled star as his "sister," the "America's Got Talent" host calls for empathy from both the media and the public alike.
While he acknowledges that in the past he has answered questions about whether he's been in touch with Amanda with casual jokes (they met in the '90s when they worked on the kids' TV show "All That"), he notes that now that she has been put on a 5150 psychiatric hold — which wasextended by a full two weeks — this is no laughing matter.
"I am always the first to say that fame and entertainment [are] one of the best and easiest occupations to ever have, but one must know how to navigate through the matrix or you may find yourself in a very dark hole," he warns. "When a person is told all of their life that they are awesome, the best, the greatest and they are catered to every moment of the day. Imagine being the breadwinner in your household before you can even drive. Imagine [your] parents, teachers, and employers NEVER telling you NO. Anything you ask for or want, the world gives you, at some point you are bound to self-destruct. I call this 'access to excess.'"
And while it's easy to see how this "access to excess" creates many problems for a young star, Nickhighlights one specific issue it can lead to that might not be so obvious: loneliness.
"What do you do when you have no solid support system? When you feel like your friends are talking behind your back. When you feel like your co-workers are jealous and out to competitively sabotage you. When you feel your family has turned [their] back on you. When you feel like you parents have a conditional appreciation for you and only really love your money."

Notes from The Jungle Room
Next up: OSCON. Get there if you can — it's starting today — and give them my regards because I can't make it this year 😦
The new apartment has what is considered by my family a sort of study, but it's quickly becoming the computer lab that I lost when I gave up my commercial space. That lab, of course, was dubbed "The Jungle Room," after the man cave at Graceland. The study has been dubbed the same.
[Yes, if he had done nothing else, Elvis would have earned my respect and admiration for inventing the man cave decades before the concept existed on cable TV. Uhthankyouverymuch]
Before I continue, allow me a mea cupla: In my last item, I wrote about Openbox and referred to a "desktop" in the same paragraph. Technically, Openbox is a window manager, not a desktop environment, as I was so dutifully reminded by an astute commenter. True. However, when using the term "desktop," I was actually referring to what one sees on their screen as opposed to a specific desktop environment — my bad for being unclear.
Nevertheless, as the last moving boxes are being punted out the door (Oh, I will take them down to the recycling bin shortly), I wanted to drop off in today's blog a couple of items worth mentioning in FOSS news over the last few days, like . . . .
Mac hardware to get that shiny Chrome look? The VAR Guy drops an interesting hint in a column late yesterday outlining the proposition that Google's Chrome OS has been compiled for the MacBook Air, thanks to a blogger/hacker named Hexxeh. "It's a unique utopia, and one that won't likely exist anytime soon," he writes. "But the alleged smoothness in which the MacBook Air runs Chrome OS is worth watching." Indeed, and the VAR Guy promises a review of Chrome OS in the near future. Watch that space.
Matt Hartley gives us the business: On a couple of rare occasions I've crossed proverbial swords with Matt Hartley, but for the most part his articles are informative and newsworthy. Special mention goes to yesterday's Datamation item about choosing the right distro for your business. In the wrap-up, Matt writes that, "Everyone is going to have different needs. A company's decision may range from weighing what type of support is needed down to selecting a community-based option over a highly specialized Linux distribution. With every example presented above, the common theme is that Linux offers plenty of choices." Amen to that.
At ease, soldier: You find developers of Linux in the most interesting places; like, oh I don't know, the U.S. Department of Defense, for example. The DOD brings us Lightweight Portable Security (LPS) Linux, which is a live CD focusing on privacy and security. It boots from a CD and executes from RAM, providing a browser, a file manager and some interesing tools. From the screenshots at Unixmen, it looks surprising like . . . Windows. Now if that's not great camouflage, I don't know what is. I haven't tried it yet — I might soon — but if it runs off a CD and has all the tools I can use, it might replace the Ultimate Boot CD and Knoppix CD that I usually carry and often lose.
Last, but not least . . .
An extra chair at the dinner table: Until recently, Lubuntu was an independent project based on Ubuntu — Ubuntu with the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, or LXDE for short. Starting with Ubuntu 11.10 in November, however, Lubuntu will join the Ubuntu family as an official variant, according to this article on the Liliputing site. Welcome to the family, Lubuntu.

Matt H. ???? Not the expert I would pick to be in the booth

to purchase a new computer. First question from the salesman
was always "What do you want to do with this computer."
That was early days in the Apple vs Wintel machines. Today it is
moot point, any mid-range or above computer will do anything
you throw at it. Anything. If you are rich enough you can use ms
products and buy enough extra software to protect your investment. If you are even richer than that you can go with a Mac
machine, pretty safe and they look nice. Most folks could save a
bundle with a middle of the road machine and Linux. Linux means
you have more applications, stability, scalability, security and safety
(Larry gives points for alliteration) at a much better price point than
the other two choices. It is very easy for a business to out spend
the income, Open Source Tech is a way to save.

Very good Live CD, I got wireless and all the goodies needed to

That was quick, Lubuntu would not even run from the Live CD!!!
The Dell mini 12 would not run the graphics. Ubuntu seems to be
using some new system for the graphics?
In all the playing around with these distros my wife likes #! the
best, but their GRUB is not compatible with the Dell.
Can anyone remaster the CD with a pre 1.98 GRUB or even
the newest GRUB 1.99? Too many hours spent on the work-a-

Dell did the Linux world a huge disservice when it put out
those mini 10's and mini 12's with Linux on them. Very strange hardware and an Ubuntu Remix that would not work like any Linux I ever saw. I bet Dell cost the Linux Community more people than
My dear bride has tried many, more than many, different distros
on her mini 12. Lots of fail. Yesterday the last attempt was
Fusion Linux. Whats dat ya say? Fedora 14 Remix for those
wimpy netbooks. And how did it go? Everything worked. That
is the highest praise we can bestow on a distro.

How To Keep my 8 year-old son from addictive computer games
My problem with my son's over-indulgence with computer games is already getting worst these days. It gets me worried since all of his grades decreased. Considering that he is my only son and the only kid in our house, I allowed him to play computer games every time I'm done with my laptop. At first, I can still control him, but lately I noticed that when I tell him to quit the game and work on his assignment, he always displayed an uncontrollable tantrums. On top of this, all of his grades decreased; I am now alarmed with this behavior change as well as the decrease of his academic grades. I am now confused, I don't know what to do, to keep him away from these addictive computer games. Can you help me find a solution to keep my son away from this computer games as well as his gaming consoles without offending him? I would appreciate it so much if you can help me.

Hello UnHaPpYmUm,
It sounds like you've got a challenge on your hands, but I'd like to commend you because you recognize that there's a problem and you're seeking a solution rather than trying to ignore it. I'd like to offer you hope, because all is not lost, and I believe that if you work with your son you'll end up with a really good relationship of love and respect, and that's what's most important. From there, we work on changing poor behavior and poor habits.
Your 8 year old is not old enough to make wise choices for himself yet, and as you're seeing, his ways of controlling the situation so that he gets what he wants (thus making decisions for himself) are destructive. His inability to control himself is not only affecting his grades, but it's affecting those around him too.
Take heart in knowing that you can make good, positive changes at the age of 8 (it would be much harder at the age of 13) and I'm happy to offer some suggestions.
I'd like to know a little more about him and about your situation at home, first, so that I can offer the best suggestions for your unique situation.
Please let me know what your work schedule is like. If you work from home, how much time do you HAVE to spend concentrating on work each day. If you work away from home, how much time are you away?
Is your child away from home for school and/or activities? If so, how many hours is he away from home and during which part of the day (i.e. he's gone from 8AM-3PM M-F, and has soccer practice from 10-12 on Saturdays, and is in Sunday School from 10-11 on Sundays). What I want to see here, is how much time he is away from you, and how much time is available for you to work with him.
The other thing I'd like you to do is to read this post that I wrote called Understanding Personalities Makes for a Happy Family.
I want you to try to tell me which personality trait(s) best describes each person living in your home. You, your son, and anyone else living in the home or having a lot of contact with him each week.
One final thing - I'd like you to describe a typical "day in the life" of your son and a typical "day in the life" of you. What does your daily routine look like now? Not what you want it to be, but what it typically has been in the past couple of weeks.
Once I get a general sense of what family life is like, I'll know better how to give suggestions that will be helpful and truly make a difference in your relationship with your son.
Warm regards,

Are you sure?
I could be wrong, but I'm using the 2.6.30 kernel. How can I update to the 2.6.32? Or is that not out yet?
I've searched around, and i know the old fourms had this question, but I can't seem to be able to load the page.
(I also searched here as well)
any ideas?
Are you sure?
Long version.
You can download the kernel source from kernel.org and compile the kernel yourself. However this will probably break a few things in backtrack (i.e. packet injection) as the 22.214.171.124 kernel in BT4 Final is a heavily patched kernel. The BT developers have spent a lot of time making this kernel work. If you are very brave and you know exactly what you are doing you could probably boot 2.6.32 on your computer. However that kernel would be specific to that computer and not work on mine. The BT developers have to keep things generic so BT will work on as much hardware as possible. You will also probably lose packet injection and GPU accelerated cracking capabilities. I don't know what else would break but probably much more. Again don't try it unless you are willing to reinstall backtrack.
I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
@op building a stable, reliable and useful kernel is very, very time consuming, frustrating and requires a (imho) minimum semi-advanced skill level of expertise with linux.
i would recommend against using backtrack as a daily operating system if bleeding edge is what you want in an os. ubuntu is released once every six months, and the repos are packed with software.
perhaps muts has a comment on kernel compiles?
thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.
What about recompiling the current kernel? I've been told that compiling your kernel specifically for your processor will result in a performance gain, which interests me. I'm competent enough to sit down with any of the many tutorials on the subject and get it done, but would the performance increase be that noticeable?
For the record, my laptop is OLD. Old as in Pentium 4 @ 2.00gHz, 216mb RAM old. It sometimes explodes if you ask it to do anything other than sit there and idle really hot (which it is remarkably good at).
Last edited by clutch; 02-18-2010 at 06:23 AM. Reason: typo
As has already been stated, we use the newest kernel possible which allows for all the patches, modules and other hacks to work in the harmony that is know as backtrack 4 final. The kernel can be recompiled but you have to ask your self, Do i really need a newer kernel or do I just want it so I can sound up to date?
OP to find your kernel version and various bits of info try the following
# uname see also the man page.
In my own experience with compiling the latest greatest kernel, unless you have experience, I would HIGHLY advise against doing it as it's not like compiling a new tool.
There are a lot of commands and options involved, especially when you get to make menuconfig. It is extremely time consuming (4 hours on my P3 512mb, less than an hour on the Dual Core) and really, the kernel that comes with BT4 is the most optimal as has been stated by pureh@te and muts.
The only reason for doing it was for a performance increase on my older machine and for 3d (think GPU accelerated attack) ati support as I'm stuck in the vicious ati world, along with some other goodies.
In a nutshell, yes it can break your system if you don't know what you are doing and it can also have added benefits if you do know what you are doing. There is a ton of info on the net on compiling the kernel if you do so choose and would leave it at that instead of asking in the forums as it has been stated over and over that you will encounter headache in the long run.
I may have been born with a silver spoon in my mouth but it does not mean I like to be spoon fed.

The gift of Immanuel, the virgin's Son; the Assyrian's desolation of the land
But this requires further development; and it is given in a remarkable manner in the next prophecy, comprised in chapters 7, 8, 9 to the end of verse 7. Certain promises were attached to the family of David, in which -- as we saw when examining the Books of Samuel -- God had renewed the hopes of Israel, when the links between Himself and the people were broken by the taking of the ark, and He had forsaken His place at Shiloh. Now the house of David, the last sustainment of the people in responsibility, has also failed in faithfulness. Ahaz has forsaken Jehovah, and set up the altar of a strange god in the temple of Jehovah. In chapter 7 the Spirit of God directs the prophet to the king, and addresses him. Isaiah was to go and meet him, with Shear-jashub his son -- a symbolical child whose name signifies "the remnant shall return." But the Lord seeks first, as He did with respect to the people in chapter 1, to encourage this branch of David to act in faith, and thus to glorify God. He announces to the king that the designs of Rezin and Pekah shall come to nought, and even proposes to him to ask a sign. But Ahaz is too far from the Lord to avail himself of this, though he replies with forms of piety. And again, as He had done with respect to the people, Jehovah declares that which shall happen to the family of David, and to the people under their rule. The two points of this prophetic announcement are -- the gift of Immanuel, the virgin's son; and the complete desolation of the land by the Assyrian. These indeed are the keys to the whole prophecy of Isaiah. Nevertheless there shall be a remnant. Verse 16 refers to Shear-jashub; but this prophecy goes farther. In chapter 8 the second prophetic child announces by his name the approaching appearance of this enemy and his ravages; and then, since the people despised the promises made to the family of David and rejoiced in the flesh, Jehovah would take the thing in hand. Consequently we have the whole sequel of the people's history, of the directions given to the remnant, and of God's intervention in power for the establishment of full blessing in the Person of the Messiah.
God's intervention in power: full blessing in the Person of Immanuel
In chapter 7, where the responsibility of the family of David is the subject, Immanuel is promised as a sign; but the success of the Assyrian is complete without any reverse. Immanuel once brought in, all is changed; the land is His. The Assyrian reaches even to the neck, because the waters of Shiloah had been despised. But Immanuel secured all. Thus the prophetic Spirit passes on to the events of the last days, of which Sennacherib was but a type. He exhibits all the designs and confederacies of the nations brought to nought because of Immanuel -- God (is) with us. It is the complete deliverance of Israel in the last days (chap. 8: 5-10). And as to the remnant, what course are they to follow? (chap. 8: 11, and following.) They are not to be troubled by the fear of the people, nor to join them in their confederacies, but to sanctify Jehovah of hosts Himself, and give Him all His true importance in their hearts. He will be their sanctuary in the day of their trouble.
The rejected Christ and the remnant
But who then is this Immanuel, this Jehovah of hosts? We well know. This brings in then the whole history of the rejection of Christ, and the position of the remnant and of the nation in consequence, and of the final intervention of the power of God. The passage is too clear to need much explanation. I will point out its principal subjects. Christ becomes personally a stumbling-stone. [1] In consequence of this the testimony of God is deposited exclusively in the hands and the hearts of His disciples, God's elect remnant. He hides His face from Jacob; but, according to the Spirit of prophecy, this remnant waits for Him and seeks Him. Meanwhile Christ and the children whom Jehovah has given Him are for signs to the two houses of Israel (compare Rom. 11: 1-8). Those (the nation) who reject the stone are in rebellion and anguish in Immanuel's land; they are given up to desolation. Nevertheless this distress is not like the former ravages of the Assyrian, because the Messiah, having appeared, has taken in hand the cause of His people, according to the counsels of God. The Spirit of prophecy passes at once, as is constantly the case, from His appearance as light, to the results of the deliverance which He will accomplish in the last days (from v. 2 to 3, chap. 9). For the church was a mystery hid in God, and not the subject of prophecy or promise. The yoke of the Assyrian being broken, all the brightness of the glory of the divine Person of the Messiah shines out in the blessing of His people.
Messiah and the Assyrian the basis of all prophecy as to Israel
These two subjects, the Messiah and the Assyrian, form the basis of all the prophecy that speaks of Israel, when this people are the recognised object of God's dealings. It may be noticed that the Assyrian appears here twice -- the second time in connection with a gathering together of the nations. The first time, chapter 7, he is Jehovah's instrument for the chastisement of Israel, and he does his own will without any question of his being broken. The second time, chapter 8, he fills the land; but the assembly of the nations gathered together against Israel is broken and brought to nothing. This expectation of Jehovah's intervention (without sharing the fears of the world in the last days, or seeking that strength which the world think to find in confederation, but, on the contrary, resting absolutely on Jehovah alone) contains in principle a valuable instruction for the present day.
[1] The beginning of verse 17 is the passage quoted in Hebrews 2, along with verse 18, to prove the humanity of the Lord and His connection with the remnant.Synopsis by John Darby

RIALTO - Police have turned around the lives of troubled children through their PRIDE platoon boot camp program. Now they're using a different tactic to keep children out of trouble: Golf.
The department held its first Golf With a Cop clinic Saturday at the Colton Golf Club, and it featured PGA tour winner Brendan Steele, as well as other instructors.
"We really believe that's the way we're going to affect the community the best," said Rialto police Cpl. Cameron Nelson.
Nelson dreamed up the idea several months ago at a University of California Riverside dinner honoring members of the school's golf team, who won the NCAA division championship in 2004.
He and Steele were both members of the team at the time.
Nelson asked his teammate if he'd be interested in helping him with a golf clinic for children.
"He loved the idea and it just kind of grew from there," Nelson said.
Steele, a UCR graduate and Idyllwild native, finished sixth at the Phoenix Open on Feb. 3. He won the Valero Texas open in 2011.
"It's a really great opportunity and doesn't really give anybody any excuses not to want to show up," he said.
Other instructors expected to teach children about golf will be the head women's and men's coaches from UCR and local PGA-certified golf instructors.
Children who hit the green Saturday will be able to return for free, with a caveat: They must maintain a 2.5 grade point average in school.
"We're giving them an option because it's free now and we're trying to motivate them through education," Nelson said.
Police say about 30 children have signed up for the clinic, but they'd like to see it grow to an Inland Empire-wide event. They plan to hold the clinics every three months.
People interested in signing up may call Nelson at 909-820-2515.

StentDrug-eluting stents; Urinary or ureteral stents; Coronary stents
A stent is a tiny tube placed into an artery, blood vessel, or other hollow structure (such as one that carries urine) to hold it open.
When a stent is placed into the body, the procedure is called stenting. There are different kinds of stents. Most are made of a metal or plastic mesh-like material. However, stent grafts are made of fabric. They are used in larger arteries.
An intraluminal coronary artery stent is a small, self-expanding, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery after balloon angioplasty to prevent the artery from re-closing.
A drug-eluting stent is coated with a medicine that helps further prevent the arteries from re-closing. Like other coronary artery stents, it is left permanently in the artery.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
Most of the time, stents are used to treat conditions that result when arteries become narrow or blocked.
Stents are commonly used to treat the following conditions that result from blocked or damaged blood vessels:
- Coronary heart disease (CHD) (angioplasty and stent placement - heart)
- Peripheral artery disease (angioplasty and stent replacement - peripheral arteries)
- Renal artery stenosis
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (aortic aneurysm repair - endovascular)
- Carotid artery disease (carotid artery surgery)
Other reasons to use stents include:
- Keeping open a blocked or damaged ureter (percutaneous urinary procedures)
- Treating aneurysms, including thoracic aortic aneurysms
- Keeping bile flowing in blocked bile ducts (biliary stricture)
- Helping you breathe if you have a blockage in the airways

SEATTLE — A Lynnwood man caught downloading child pornography on his work computer was sentenced Tuesday to five years in federal prison.
Thomas Joseph Barrett, 50, worked for the Social Security Administration. He was arrested at work in January after an investigation revealed that he was using his office computer to download child pornography during work hours. Prosecutors alleged that he'd accessed more than 3,500 images on his work and home computers. The investigation also turned up evidence that Barrett had researched the criminal penalties for possessing child pornography.
The administration's network and data were never compromised, authorities said.
Barrett will be under federal supervision for a decade once he's released from prison.

I'm still recovering from a hack/server crash on my VPS on Monday last week.
Poor back-ups have added to the misery and chaos.
Anyway lessons are being digested and better procedures put in place.
But I have lost the email for three clients in 3 different ways and wonder if anybody has any suggestions.
Do you know if there is a service out there that provides a way for us to see these emails again?Hapy to pay as am overwhelmed at the moment.
Zipped up copy of the emailsI understand one the support guys downloaded a zip file of another email account.Any ideas on the best way to get these back.
123REG email accountI have accepted the internal transfer of a domain name which had email accounts set up on it.The domain arrived without the email accounts.
We tranferred the domain back in the hope the email accounts would start again. But they were gone from there too.
Unfortunately, "123REG do not provide backups for mailboxes". :rolleyes:
My client has some emails on her mac but i think these are just 'headers' and she may not have downloaded the emails fully.
Any suggestions on what we can do?
Thats about it from the worst week of my working life!
Waht type of email system are you using? Is it a cient-based or POP3 system, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc? Or is it a web-based system like GMail?
These raw files you mentioned? Do they have an EML extension? If so, you should be able to open them in any of the above programs. You could also try opening them in an ordinary text editor, such as Notepad. You might see plain text along with a bunch of headings, or you might see HTML, depending on the system that was used to send them. But, either way, it shouldn't be too difficult to extract the actual message.
As for the zipped up copies, if these were zipped with a standard compression utility such as WinZip, you can use the same utility to unzip them.

Both accounts were POP3. But the client was managing both using their browser (webmail).
Your feedback was encouraging - I'll see what I can do.
Pete, if you learn anything new about the format of the emails, let us know.
On most linux servers the raw emails are just stored as text files, you may be able to put a copy of these files back in the correct directory and apply the necessary permissions and be good to go. As with any test procedure on a server, I'd try this on a virtual machine (e.g running in vmware) that is the same OS as your live machine first.
1 / 2 - it should be possible to at least partially restore the data from backups yes - in the raw files, it'll depend if the original mail server was an mbox or maildir format (they store mail on a server differently).
Thanks guys for getting back
Raw email filesThe .rar file contains the email in .msg format.
Zipped up copy of the emailsJury still out....
123REG email accountYes it looks like these are gone.
Its dissapointing that:-
I guess if they made this more public they may not get too many people using their email accounts?
Thanks again.
.msg formats should be importable into a client, from there they can be copied via imap back to a server.
I don't think 123reg's email system is a big selling point, they are mostly a domain registrar and that seems to be a tacked on service rather than anything.
I'll still stick with self hosted email fro this reason - i get to control it all
Thanks Tim.
Re: 123Reg. Agreed.
I was thinking of hosting the client's domain email on the Gmail system. Do you know of an great article or thread which discusses the pros/cons of this as a way forward?
My experience is that most of my clients tolerate their websites being down (they are mainly informational) but are immediately on the phone if email stops.And, if as happens above, email is lost then pretty much their to do list, contacts and work schedule is up in smoke.
Its a pretty heavy responsibility and I want to get this right going forward. Gone are the days of tacking some email accounts on to my webhosting.... or using 123Reg!
Yeah, I've seen many people use gmail for email, and some people like the interface / how integrated with other google services it is. Myself, I have a gmail but never really got on with it, I still like to stick to self hosting all my email, it gives me full control over (hourly) backups too.
If you set gmail to imap you can set a normal mail client to back it all up. I'm definitely a fan of where possible using google apps email for clients, and if necessary hooking it up to a client of their choice, it's vastly reduced support overhead and issues with spam, also with my server ips getting blacklisted because of people sending out inadvisable bulk newsletter /mailing list stuff.
I not sure if this is an appropriate thread to expand on this; however can you provide a few steps or insight into how you achieve this. I, like Timlgoe have always hosted my own mail, but I really like your reasoning and would like to give it a try.
It's fairly straightforward, there's a setting within google apps email to switch on imap then e.g for thunderbirdhttp://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77662outlookhttp://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=77689
You can also use server apps like imapsync to back up to another account. In the last 5 years or so that I've used google apps email, I've never had or heard of any loss of data. Apparently all gmail activity is replicated in 2 data centres, so even with minimal backups it's still pretty resilient. The main point of failure would likely be user error e.g permanently deleting an account
Great the links and info will help to do a test. Excellent process and idea @EastCoast;

can you add a function that allows you to save all the consoles (or atleast the karmetasplot terminal) to a log files, or if they are already logged could you please direct me towards the directory?
Hi buddy, this is a confusing post!I did it with script.And There was a mistake i can surf net only when gateway(and dns) set to 192.168.0.1 (default script value),not 192.168.1.1(my routers ip).
but when I can surf with opera mini,sslstrip and others didn't work.
Do I understand that the network and client surfing now works, but sslstrip doesn't? If so
- see post #26
- confirm sslstrip works when launched manually
- try sslstrip in a simpler set-up eg MiTM on your home network
can you add a function that allows you to save all the consoles (or atleast the karmetasplot terminal) to a log files, or if they are already logged could you please direct me towards the directory?

Hi thad0ctor, thanks for taking an interest. User feedback is very helpful, as you know!
Depending which modules you run, current logging is:
sslstrip: /root/sslstrip.log
ferret: /root/hamster.txt, and /root/sniff-date-eth.pcap
WPA2 handshakes: /root/PwnSTAR-n.cap
hotspot credentials: /var/www/hotspot/formdata.txt
In the unlikely event that karmetasploit cracks anyone, I presume the loot will be saved in the default postgresql database.
If you think anything else needs logging, let me know and I will fix it up.
I was pretty interested in getting the logged cookies from karmasploit if that is poossible.
Keep up the good work, I love this script and I definately plan on borrowing the idea of the background color you have going, its pretty sweet! keep up the good work!
OK I'll look into it.
Out of interest, do you find karmetasploit much use?
In my test lab, it only works against unpatched XP and OSX Leopard. It never fires against new systems.
I found it pretty good to get a quick identification of the Operating Systems and browsers of the victims you are attacking as well as to get cookies and a basic idea of the sites / POST requests victims are trying to access. Like you mentioned, it really isn't ideal for exploiting onew systems but I'm sure with some custom exploits / payloads you could get some hits.
Fair enough.
The cookies are in the default db
I don't have a way of automatically sorting them from the script but its easy enough to scroll/copy/paste from msfconsole.Code:msf > notes

Latest in Book Reviews
One or Two by Peter Jones
from Dan Dodds Jan 13, 2011 Category: Book ReviewsI love paradigms, grids and excel spreadsheets; they have such a wonderful way of providing a means of systematizing information and making it understandable, accessible. Over the years I have tried to provide paradigms to categorize worldviews (or religions). I have employed the work of others and have modified some to try to simplify for my students what the various worldviews have in common and what makes them unique. Keep Reading
The Book of Leviticus
from Keith Mathison Dec 23, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsIt is probably no exaggeration to say that among Christians, the Book of Leviticus is one of the most neglected books in the Bible. It is certainly one of the least understood. How many Christians have purposed to read through the entire Bible and made it through Genesis and Exodus only to get bogged down in this seemingly obscure collection of ceremonial laws and rituals? What are we to make of this book? How are these ancient laws about animal sacrifices, and priests, and ceremonial uncleanness relevant to Christians in the 21st century? Keep Reading
2K or Not 2K? That is the Question: A Review of David VanDrunen's Living in God's Two Kingdoms
from Keith Mathison Dec 09, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsDavid VanDrunen's book Living in Two Kingdoms is the first attempt of which I am aware to present at a non-academic level a book-length biblical and theological case for "two kingdoms theology." VanDrunen, who serves as professor of systematic theology at Westminster Seminary California and as an ordained minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church has dealt with this subject before. He has written several articles on the subject, and in 2006, he published A Biblical Case for Natural Law, which contains a discussion of two kingdoms doctrine. In early 2010, he published Natural Law and the Two Kingdoms. That book is an extensive academic study of the historical development of Reformed social thought with a particular focus on the Reformed view of natural law and two kingdoms doctrine. After looking at precursors such as Augustine and Luther, VanDrunen proceeds to examine specifically Reformed thinking on these subjects from the sixteenth century to the present. Living in God's Two Kingdoms does not cover the same ground. The earlier book sought to determine whether two kingdoms theology is a legitimate strand within the Reformed tradition. Living in God's Two Kingdoms argues that two kingdoms theology is the biblical view. Keep Reading
from Robert Rothwell Dec 06, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsIt is said that most religions of the world are religions of orthopraxy. That is, they are far more concerned with maintaining proper rituals and works than with the careful definition of what constitutes proper belief. In comparison, the historic Christian faith is far more concerned with orthodoxy, or right belief. Other faiths have simple creeds and elaborate ritual, but Biblical Christianity has an elaborate creed and simple ritual. Keep Reading
Treatises on the Sacraments (Tracts by John Calvin)
from Keith Mathison Nov 17, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsRecent years have witnessed a renewed interest in the sacramental theology of John Calvin. A number of studies have been published, but unfortunately until now it has been difficult for many interested readers to find access to many of the relevant writings of Calvin on the subject. His commentaries and his Institutes of the Christian Religion have long remained in print, but many other important tracts and treatises have remained buried in long out of print and obscure volumes. With the re-publication of Treatises on the Sacraments, this problem has been resolved to a large degree. Keep Reading
The Way of the (Modern) World
from Chris Donato Nov 09, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsCraig M. Gay, in The Way of the (Modern) World, or, Why It's Tempting to Live As If God Doesn't Exist, offers a profound and provocative analysis of our current situation by focusing on what lies beneath the surface of modern American society. Keep Reading
The Evolution Controversy
from Keith Mathison Nov 04, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsThere are few topics that are the source of greater controversy (at least in the United States) than the topic of evolution. Evolution is the source of controversy within churches, schools, the halls of government, and even popular culture. Over 150 years after the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, this controversy shows no signs of slowing. For Christians seeking to get a grasp on the complexities of the controversy, the number of books and articles defending and critiquing various views can often become overwhelming. Keep Reading
God-Centered Evangelism
from Keith Mathison Oct 29, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsIf I have heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times: "A Calvinist evangelist? Isn't that an oxymoron? Calvinism undermines evangelism." This accusation has been repeated so many times that few make the effort to argue it. Instead, it is simply assumed. Never mind that some of the church's greatest evangelists have been Calvinists. One need only be reminded of men such as George Whitefield, David Brainerd, or "the father of modern missions," William Carey. "Yes," we are told, "these men were great evangelists and Calvinists, but that is because they were inconsistent." But is this true? Keep Reading
The Lord's Supper: Eternal Word in Broken Bread
from Keith Mathison Oct 20, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsAs Dr. Robert Letham points out in the Introduction to his new book on the Lord's Supper, one of the most striking differences between the Reformation era and our own day is our modern neglect of the Lord's Supper. This doctrine, which was the single most discussed theological topic during the sixteenth century, is virtually ignored today. One may easily find numerous volumes debating various aspects of baptism, but there are very few good modern works on the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Letham's small work is a good step in the right direction toward the resolution of this unfortunate state of affairs. Keep Reading
From Paradise to the Promised Land
from Keith Mathison Oct 08, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsThe five books of the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) are foundational books of the canon. Without at least some understanding of the teaching of these books, it is next to impossible to understand fully the remaining books of the Bible. Keep Reading

Some developments in the Simon Singh case. Singh, you may remember, is being sued for libel by the British Chiropractic Association over his claim that they were "happily promoting bogus treatments", and is in something of a pickle after Mr Justice Eady ruled that the word "bogus" implied conscious deception (rather than, say, recklessness or mere stupidity) on the part of the organisation.
The legal blogger Jack of Kent reveals that Singh will announce whether or not he intends to appeal the preliminary ruling at a public meeting on Monday at the Penderels Oak, Holborn, the usual meeting place of London Skeptics. 6.30pm if you can make it - as well as Simon, the journalist Nick Cohen will also be speaking. We're also told that a fighting-fund may be established, either for this case or as "a distinct legacy fund to support the ongoing scrutiny of the promotion of CAM [complementary/alternative medicine]." A dedicated website is also being set up, which I'll link to when I find out about it.
JoK relates that all options have been considered, including what he gratifyingly dubs the "Heresiarch manoeuvre". This was my suggestion that Simon might exploit Eady's over-definition of "bogus" by way of limiting the damage (if not the damages). Since the judge ruled that the libel consisted in an imputation of conscious fraud on the part of the BCA, and since Singh intended no such slur, it should be possible for him to settle the case without retracting the central point that at least some chiropractic claims do not stand up to scientific scrutiny - and even, perhaps, the subsidiary point that the BCA ought to take the evidence more seriously than they do.
This was my suggested "apology":
1) My intention in the article was not to impugn the honesty or integrity of the BCA, but merely to raise questions as to the scientific validity of some well-publicised chiropractic claims.
2) The judge has concluded that the words used suggested that the BCA was knowingly dishonest. Since this was never my intention, I am of course happy to withdraw those remarks in the sense in which they have been interpreted by the judge.
3) I reiterate, however, my belief that notwithstanding the bona fides of the BCA, chiropractic is scientifically worthless.
The "Heresiarch manoeuvre" sounds like a subtle chess tactic, which in a sense it is. The analogy I actually had in mind was from judo, where the skill lies in using your opponent's strength against him. In this instance, Eady's ruling serves to remove from the dispute any question of evidence. Simon Singh no longer faces the high hurdle of trying to prove, to the standards required of the libel laws, that chiropractic techniques are "bogus". That said, that was of course what he hoped to do, and if he had succeeded he would have scored a major victory for science. Instead, surrendering now leaves him with a hefty legal bill (though not as crippling as it would have been had he lost a full trial); it enshrines Eady's bizarre definition of "bogus" in English law, with long-term effects for writers and journalists that are difficult to predict; and worst of all, perhaps, it will enable the BCA to boast that "a high court judge ruled that chiropractic treatments could not be described as 'bogus'".
The whole affair has now been blogged to within an inch of its life. Among notable contributions are an item on Pharyngula (which compares and contrasts this case with the Californian case of the science teacher found to have violated the constitution by calling creationism "superstitious nonsense"); a contribution from comedian Dave Gorman; and a fascinating discussion on Language Log of the history and semantics of the word "bogus". It amusingly suggests a new standard of "bogosity", the unit to be dubbed a "BCA". For myself, I think bogosity ought to be measured out in "Eadies".
The story has also begun to make inroads into more traditional news sources, including The Economist. The solicitor and blogger David Allen Green has a piece in the New Scientist. It was no surprise to find it mentioned in this week's Private Eye, where Ratbiter uses it as more ammunition in his long-running campaign against Justice Eady. He also draws attention to the UNHRC's 2008 complaint that English libel judges (mainly Eady) were discouraging "critical media reporting on matters of serious public interest".
JoK's latest post attracted a comment from the Lib Dem MP Evan Harris - perhaps the Commons' best-known humanist - who warns:
I met Simon earlier this week. It is vital that this case is not lost because it will chill scientists, journalists, writers and even comedians from criticising the work of others - which is vital component of the scientific method. It will embolden the non-evidence-based (so called "alterntive") health care industry to threaten any critic of their apporoach, work or claims. It will also add credibility to the claims of these organisations.
On the other hand, and more optimistically, the case has ensured that the evidence against chiropractic, and the scientifically dubious nature of the claims made on its behalf, have been given a wider public airing. Even if he loses the battle, Simon Singh could still win the war. With any luck, it will also help his book sales. As a small gesture of solidarity, I popped into Waterstones at the weekend and bought a copy of Trick or Treatment, Singh and Ernst's detailed exposé of chiropractic and other bogus (there, I said it) alternative treatments. And very good it is too. The frontispiece carries a cheeky dedication to Prince Charles, but he wouldn't like it at all. Let me share with you the penultimate paragraph:
We argue that it is now the time for the tricks to stop, and for real treatments to take priority. In the name of honesty, progress and good healthcare, we call for scientific standards, evaluation and regulation to be applied to all types of medicine so that patients can be confident that they are receiving treatments that demonstrably generate more good than harm.
Surely even Mr Justice Eady couldn't disagree with that.

Is this the same Justice Eady you so praised after Max's spanking case?
If so he has once again got it right.
We all know that the Lisbon treaty is the EU constitution, but some politicos believe that it is not. Now they might be liars (which most are) but if they sincerely believe that it is different than they are sincere idiots.
This is the trouble with materialist philosophy you find it hard to understand that the world is not rational and that the irrationality is very important to us as a civilisation, that's why I would describe myself as a conservative.
You should have a whip round for Simon who is a wonderful guy and pay off his bills he does not deserve this, but lose he will if he takes this further.
- 15 May 2009 at 18:30
I don't think you have got Eady's argument correct. Just take the phrase:
"happily promoting bogus treatments"
and replace "bogus" with a word of your choice, like fake, false, worthless. It is the "happily promoting" treatments that are worthless/fake/false/bogus that makes the sting of conscious deception.
Why not blog about how simon got it wrong, and asking for him to apologise ?

- The Heresiarch said...
Not having been in court, I have to rely on reports of the ruling, but they all suggest that Eady did rule that "bogus" implied deliberate fakery. Of course, the words "happily promote" may be taken to strengthen the sense, but in any case, in an earlier case (involving Paul McKenna's doctorate from a "bogus" university) Eady ruled that the word libelled McKenna by implying that he knew the qualification was worthless. So he has form. For what it's worth, my interpretation of the phrase "happily promoting" is that it suggests the BCA was reckless, not undertaking proper care to substantiate claims before making them. There is no necessary suggestion of deliberate dishonesty; I don't think so, anyway.
Yes, Sean, I did praise Eady over the MM case. He was right then, he's wrong now. Nobody's perfect. But he's only half to blame; the principle of libel law that the burden of proof is on the defendant is the real problem, in this as in other cases.

"This is the trouble with materialist philosophy you find it hard to understand that the world is not rational and that the irrationality is very important to us as a civilisation"
You don't need to be a materialist to understand that the majority of these "alternative" medical practices are unscientific, bogus, and yes, often willfully faked in order to extract cash from a ignorant public.
I'm no materialist. I know these treatments CAN work, but understand that when they do so it's because of the placebo effect, which is evidence of non-physical (mental) causation, and therefore a good philosophical argument for non-materialism.
However, the placebo effect can be utilized for free in any number of ways. Thus, building business models around using by exploiting an ignorant public - and often just as ignorant practitioners - is the epitome of bogusness.
As for consequences; freedom of speech and the truth always trumps what the law says. The guy should stick to his guns and refuse to pay a penny.
- 16 May 2009 at 09:41
Apparently "bogus" comes from an American slang word for counterfeit (initially as a noun meaning a counterfeit coin or possibly the apparatus for making such). But according to Judge Eady's logic, a counterfeit coin would only be "bogus" if the person paying with it knew it to be a fake. And apparently it would matter if they were happy - perhaps if they had just found it lying about and though it was their lucky day.

Matt, since the world is not rational, the next time someone beats the crap out of you and takes your wallet, don't ask the police to catch the mugger on the basis of an accurate description, DNA evidence, or eyewitnesses. You would be better off getting a witch doctor to put a curse on him if he won't return your credit cards.
The world (as opposed to the people in it) may not be entirely rational, but it's always the way to bet.
- 16 May 2009 at 13:34
I'm not sure what your point is. I'm arguing that Singh is right, and CAM is bogus, nothing more than a dressed-up placebo effect. And as much as many practitioners are ignorant of that fact, and believe their treatments are beneficial in themselves, most of the businesses out there are well aware the whole thing's a sham.
- 16 May 2009 at 15:12
- Chris Kavanagh said...
The placebo effect doesn't contradict materialism. Materialism doesn't make any claim that mental faculties can exert no influence over the body. In fact I would consider it rather straightforward that our brains and the emerging mental properties have a very large influence over our bodies.
Defining the mental as non-physical is a bit misleading methinks.
Anyway, it's a bit of a side issue. I hope Simon appeals and I also heartily recommend his book.
- 16 May 2009 at 17:39
You're right that it's a side issue, so I won't get into a philosophical debate, but again, like some of the other issues I've commented on, it's a completely open subject; there are no facts as yet to support either the conclusion that mental events (qualia and the like) can be reduced to emergent physical properties, or whether they are in fact intrinsic in nature.
That is why I said that the placebo effect provides "a good philosophical argument for non-materialism", rather than "proves non-materialism".
For every Dennett there's a Chalmers or a Nagel, and a whole host of other Philosophers of Mind in between.
- 16 May 2009 at 19:21
"There is no necessary suggestion of deliberate dishonesty..."So let us try this. The XXX is;
"happily promoting worthless treatments"
"happily promoting false treatments"
"happily promoting treatments where there is no evidence that the treatment can treat the ailment"
what definition of the word "bogus" would you use, that removes the meaning that the XXX is "happily promoting" a treatment that it knows to be worthless ?
I disagree with you on the issue of libel law. If you do not think we should have a libel law, then anyone can write completely bogus allegations in the press, and you cannot complain. You should separate the issue of whether simon said something unfortunate, and whether we need libel law.
- 17 May 2009 at 15:13
- WoollyMindedLiberal said...
I don't know, or indeed much care, what sort of philosophical argument for crazy superstitious twaddle that the placebo effect provides. The important thing is that it provides absolutely no scientific reason to question materialism.
- 17 May 2009 at 17:45
Woolly, I wonder if we actually mean two different things in our use of the term "materialism".
If you mean it in a simple sense of science vs religion, then I probably agree with you.
However, if you mean it in the proper metaphysical sense under which it's a entails a variety of positions one can hold in the philosophy of Mind (detailing with whether mental properties such as qualia are reductive, intrinsic, or exist at all,- for example), then I'd be interested to know how you think science in any way proves it, since virtually all philosophers - whatever their position on the matter - would probably disagree with you.
If you're interested, I'd suggest the following paper as a good read. Even ignoring the bias of the author, it offers good summaries of the various positions.
- 17 May 2009 at 20:26
- WoollyMindedLiberal said...
What mere philosophers think is of no interest to any sensible person. What scientists have discovered or proven on the other hand is terribly interesting. What these same well-informed and learned scientists think, or speculate, to put it more accurately can also be interesting.
The writings of philosophers are only of any actual interest when they explain what they think the science is and means, Whether they agree or disagree with the science is up to them. Why would I care one way or the other? Its only reality that I'm interested in.
- 17 May 2009 at 21:44
The question of whether reality consists of just material properties, or whether it consists of both material and mental properties, and if so, how those may relate to each other, IS a philosophical one, at least within the current limitations of our scientific understanding, and I'm sure most scientists would agree with that, especially theoretical particle physicists, who are the only ones who count on this subject (since they are dealing with base reality as we currently understand it).
You can venture an opinion, but if you stray into declaring those opinions to be factual, when clearly neither particle physics, nor consciousness are fully understood, and you are not interested in centuries of logical philosophical discourse on the matter, then you are peddling quasi-philosophy, and of no more standing than those non-scientists who peddle quasi-science.

Tell you what, lets have a race to Mars. Scientists can build a rocket and fly probes there while the philosophers can sit around and talk about what they mean by Mars. I doubt that many scientists are particularly bothered what the philosophers think or say and why would they be?
We don't fully understand the solar system and probably never will but even with our partial and tentative models despite your grandiose claims we can in fact safely venture scientific statements such as that the Earth & Sun orbit a common centre of gravity with reasonable certainty. Only rather silly obscurantists who are too lazy to engage with science because it requires a modicum of work wave their hands around and declare that we can say nothing. You have fun with that Matt, in the meantime we'll just get on with mostly ignoring you mixed in with occasional bouts of ridicule at your expense.
- 18 May 2009 at 16:30
It's obvious that you wish to understand neither philosophy nor science, or indeed the relationship between the two. Oh well, your loss.
- 18 May 2009 at 17:41
Would it help the case at all if Eady understood the normal standard of proof for a medical treatment? In which case Simon Singh should call upon expert witnesses from the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry and the Institute of Clinical Research. These are the relevant bodies which would testify to the correct procedures for verifying the safety and effectiveness of a therapy. It is NOT a subjective test, and if the BCA has not met it, their therapies are pretty much bogus by definition. I note that Duchy Originals got into trouble last week for making unwarranted medical claims for their "alternative medicines". What's good enough for Prince Charles ought to be good enough for the BCA.

This is easily where Mr Singh could in fact show that the Chiro`s are happily ignoring sound science and I believe have a great foundation of claiming a defence of Truth.
Chiro has repeatedly been shown to have no effect beyond that of the effects of manipulation much along the lines of a physio or athletic therapist.
The claims to channel energy etc have all been shown to be twaddle. If the BCA chooses to promote these other claims in the face of solid evidence to the contrary, then it must be claiming something that has been shown to be incorrect. As it is doing it because its members demand it of them, then they must be doing it deliberately.
By all means that are usually used to test the efficacy of a treatment Chiropracty has been found wanting in most of its claims.
The BCA know that, but continue to make outrageous claims on behalf of its members.
Mr Singh`s phraseology seems pretty spot on to me.

Classification of Offenders/Risk Assessment: Procedures which gather information about an offender for law enforcement, correctional, or court agencies, including an offender's behavior patterns, needs, skills, and aptitude as well as factors related to criminal conduct.
Collaborative Justice Courts: Also known as problem-solving courts-promote accountability by combining judicial supervision with rehabilitation services that are rigorously monitored and focused on recovery. These courts are distinguished by their problem-solving focus, team approach to decision making, integration of social and treatment services, judicial supervision of the treatment process, community outreach, direct interaction between defendants and judge, and a proactive role for the judge inside and outside the courtroom.
Community Corrections Programs: A variety of local, state, or federal activities involving punishment and management of offenders within their local communities through such programs as community service, restitution, day reporting centers, drug and alcohol treatment, and electronic monitoring.
Criminogenic: Offender characteristics that affect the likelihood of future criminality.
Drug Courts: A court in which the judge, the district attorney, and the public defender or private defense attorney work together in a non-adversarial fashion to help chemically dependent offenders obtain needed treatment and rehabilitation in the hopes of breaking the cycle of crime and addiction.
Evidence-based practice: The conscientious, explicit, and judicious use by correctional administrators of current best research evidence in selecting programs designed to manage offenders, reduce recidivism, and increase public safety. Research evidence of program effectiveness must adhere to accepted methodological standards. A program must also use empirical assessment tools to target the program to the individual offender and must objectively measure program implementation and outcomes. Evidence-based programs also includes programs that adhere to 'principles of effective intervention' established by prior research.
Parole: The conditional early release from prison or jail, under supervision, after a portion of the sentence has been served. This practice assumes that the offender successfully demonstrated conformity to the rules and regulations of the prison environment and shows an ability to conform to society's norms and laws. Parole is similar to probation, however, it is granted by a parole board not a judge.
Prisoner Reentry: The transition from life in jail or prison to life in the community has profound implications for public safety.
Probation: A judicially imposed suspension of sentence that attempts to supervise, treat, and rehabilitate offenders while they remain in the community under the supervision of the probation department.

Heading into their Week 11 bye, the Giants were in a two-game tailspin and surrounded by questions about Eli Manning's throwing arm and Hakeem Nicks' left knee. But there's hope that the Giants can rebound with help from their healthy offensive studs. And healthy is what they now appear to be. Both players shut themselves down over the bye week. On Monday, Nicks said his body felt as good as it has all season. Manning said his arm felt "refreshed." Nicks, Manning and the Giants will look to get back on track Sunday night versus the Packers.
Fantasy Analysis:
It's great to hear this about Nicks, who has been dogged by knee and foot injuries seemingly forever. If he can stay healthy over the next six games, he can be a top-10 fantasy WR. I was never really worried about Manning. Maybe his arm was "dead," but I fully expect put up big numbers down the stretch.
