Excellent podcast. Props to Jay for having someone (Dennis) who is not on TRT and is thriving without it to discuss the topic.
Interesting how the pill for women (hormone therapy) is great. Hormone therapy for six year old kids who want to "change their sex" is wonderful. Tax-payer funded hormone therapy for prisoners who are transsexual is an important civil right. But men with low T who want help in getting it fixed is evil and dangerous. You'd almost start to suspect society doesn't like healthy men.
Regarding "standard of care", if you are lucky, you can find doctors who will give you the standard of care spiel but then be willing to discuss other options. I live in a place where due to local traditions, most doctors are used to people seeking alternative therapies, and many of them have been surprisingly knowledgeable and helpful about discussing and usually offering referrals. They may not offer you a given therapy themselves, but will be able to provide specific recommendations to someone who can and is willing.
You both noted how self publishing has been liberating. With regards to healthcare, the Internet as a whole has been very liberating and empowering. It is now much easier to have a very high level of knowledge and preparation when visiting a doctor. This also allows you to gauge whether the doctor is offended or threatened by your knowledge or willing to really engage with you. I don't kid myself that I know as much as they do, but it is important to find someone open minded and who doesn't treat you as an inanimate object.
Looking forward to reading Jay's book. I don't intend to start TRT but want to have the knowledge and information to make an informed choice.Reply

Washington, D.C. — Church World Service welcomes the Bipartisan Framework for Comprehensive Immigration Reformreleased today by Senators Schumer (D-NY), McCain (R-AZ), Durbin (D-IL), Graham (R-SC), Menendez (D-NJ), Rubio (R-FL), Bennet (D-CO) and Flake (R-AZ). These Senators will address the framework in a press conference scheduled for 2:30pm EST today.
The framework would create a pathway to citizenship for individuals who are currently undocumented, including undocumented youth or 'DREAMers'. For years, CWS has advocated for immigrants' rights, and applauds these Senators for moving in the right direction to enact immigration reform in 2013.
CWS president and CEO Rev. John L. McCullough, commented on this proposal, "As an organization that serves refugees and all immigrants, CWS affirms that legislation based on this framework could have far-reaching positive impacts on the lives of those who, but for mere papers, are Americans in heart and contribution. Our immigrant brothers and sisters are an intrinsic part of our communities. We worship together, work together, build community together, our children learn together, and we pledge allegiance to the same flag together. We have a Biblical call to welcome the stranger and love our neighbor, and legislation based on this framework could help us, as a nation, fulfill that call."
CWS is particularly pleased that the Senate framework calls for reduced wait times for family reunification and would create a pathway to citizenship for those who are undocumented, including separate provisions for DREAMers and agricultural workers. Provisions to improve the visa process for employment- and family-based visas, and to instill greater accountability and community consultation in border policies, also signal improvements.
Erol Kekic, director of the CWS Immigration and Refugee Program, said "We affirm the framework's recognition of the important role immigration plays in the U.S. economy and in the fabric of families and communities across the United States. These are some of the strongest provisions to be addressed in the Senate, and CWS is proud to be part of this historical moment."
As CWS celebrates this bipartisan framework, the organization is also eager to see detailed legislative language, and is opposed to the border and interior enforcement provisions that have proven detrimental to communities. CWS is opposed to making any part of the path to citizenship contingent upon border enforcement criteria and the implementation of a new visa tracking system, which could take years, if not decades to complete and leave those seeking permanent legal status in limbo. CWS is also concerned about the inaccuracies of an electronic employment verification system and how it could impact the pathway to citizenship, as well as provisions that would restrict immigrants from accessing important services. There are also provisions that are not addressed in this framework, such as the ability for permanent partners to be reunited, that CWS would like to see included in legislation.
"CWS looks forward to working with senators and representatives across the political spectrum to address these issues, as we are committed to seeing immigration reform enacted in 2013," said Kekic. "CWS, along with our member communions and refugee resettlement offices around the country, will continue to work closely with Congress and the Administration to lift up the importance of family unity and a pathway to citizenship in immigration reform."
Tomorrow, in Las Vegas, President Obama is set to release his blueprint on immigration reform, showing the necessary leadership from the executive branch on this critical issue. CWS board member Rev. Patricia de Jong will be in attendance.

How The 35 mpg Law By 2020 Will Affect The Cars We Will Drive
Hey now mid 30s imperial gallon highway isn't bad for a 6,000 lbs plus truck.0
Pardon me - I was reading the wrong line. Been taht kind of day.
No, that's not bad at all.2013 Mazda 5 Grand Touring, 2010 Toyota Prius IV. 2007 Toyota Camry XLE, 2004 Toyota Camry LE, 1999 Mazda Miata0
No, it isn't that bad and that is one of the things that drives me crazy right now. There isn't any mid-sized to full sized vehicle on the market that can seat seven adults and get over 30 mpg highway. The LR3 with the TDv6 can do that and it is available right now if California would get its head out of its [non-permissible content removed] in regards to diesel emissions.
The Mazda5 comes close but it only seats six and doesn't have the all around capability that the LR3 does.
I don't know if the TDV6 would do very well in the US market as 0-60 comes along in a leisurely 12.8 seconds with the automatic. :surprise:
Still the TDV8 from the Range Rover only gives up a couple of mpg to the TDV6 and is just as fast as the V8 petrol motor.
http://www.landrover.co.uk/gb/en/Vehicles/Range_Rover_Sport/Specifications/Engin- es%20and%20performance.htm0
Don't be trying to sell me an LR3 now..... I can't think of where the nearest Land Rover is...
If I ever do manage to move myself back into the hills I could have a lot of fun in one of those.2013 Mazda 5 Grand Touring, 2010 Toyota Prius IV. 2007 Toyota Camry XLE, 2004 Toyota Camry LE, 1999 Mazda Miata0
GM is taking the whole thing seriously: they are going to power their next compact models with a turbo 1.4, and may even make that engine standard in their midsize cars too:
http://www.autonews.com/article/20080602/ANA02/847106937/1176/emailblast02&refse- ct=emailblast02
Sounds like the Cobalt as we know it will be going away after 2010. They expect 40 mpg from the new powertrain, and 120-140 hp.
They are also apparently reconsidering bringing the Beat to the U.S.
In a separate piece of news today, it looks like Ford is already expanding the Fiesta lineup before it has even gone on sale, by adding 3- and 5-door hatches to the proposed launch in two years.
Two automakers taking the new mandate seriously and making early strides to meet its goals...
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
It all looks very interesting, and I'm rooting for the success of these efforts, and a fair market return for the risks associated with these enhancements, but I wonder about the durability of a highly stressed turbo engine.0
bpizzuti Posts: 2,743That link requires registration. Any more info about that new model? Sounds mildly interesting....I wonder if there will be a hatch version...0
Sorry about that, here is the text as it pertains to the new car:
"DETROIT -- General Motors will unveil a Chevrolet compact car at an auto show this fall, with production slated to begin early next year, say sources familiar with GM's product program.
The vehicle will be built on the Delta compact car architecture at GM's plant in Lordstown, Ohio.
The car will use a new 1.4-liter global engine that GM developed and recently announced in Europe. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine will be used in several GM vehicles worldwide.
The Chevrolet compact will not be called the Cobalt, says one source familiar with the plans. GM will produce the current-generation Cobalt through June 2010 as a 2009 model. It was unclear from sources whether GM will continue to build the Cobalt after that.
Shared among five nameplates
The car's engine will be capable of developing between 120 and 140 hp. Sources say mileage could easily exceed 40 mpg.
"It's a pretty incredible engine; it's direct-injected with great power," the source says. "The small-displacement turbos make it possible to get great power so that GM might put it in the mid-sized products, too. It's an extremely important engine and a very capable powertrain."
The new engine will be shared among five nameplates: Chevrolet, Pontiac, Saturn, Opel and Daewoo, sources say. That means the Lordstown plant could build cars for export.
The engine continues the trend that GM started with such cars as the Pontiac Solstice GXP and Saturn Sky Red Line. Those cars use smaller engines and high-technology devices such as direct fuel injection and turbochargers to boost fuel economy and performance."
So the news is mainly powertrain-related, it doesn't talk about body styles. As for durability concerns, the turbo in the Sky/Solstice has a very high specific output, and it hasn't become known for problems so far. I expect that one of the very common techniques for meeting the new CAFE targets will be small engines with turbos...
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
bumpy Posts: 4,435Given the engine size and horsepower numbers I've seen floating about, it sounds like they're going to be low-boost turbos, maybe in the 5-7 pound range which isn't very much these days. Saab has been doing that with some of its cars the last few years.0
GM cuts truck production, considers selling Hummer brand
"General Motors said today that it is shuttering production at four of its plants that build full-sized pickups and SUVs and it is considering "all options" with its Hummer brand -- including a possible sale.
The moves are the result of high gas prices, which GM now views as a permanent market condition, CEO Rick Wagoner said.
The automaker also announced it will add a third shift to its small-car plant in Lordstown, Ohio, Wagoner confirmed.
GM will be building an all-new Chevrolet compact car at the Lordstown plant, as first reported by Automotive News on Monday.
Finally, GM's board of directors has approved the production funding for the gasoline-electric car, the Chevrolet Volt, Wagoner says.
"In other words, the Chevy Volt is a go" Wagoner said in a teleconference before the company's annual meeting today in Wilmington, Del.
Wagoner said GM still intends to put the Volt for sale at the end of 2010 and to build it at its plant in Hamtramck, Mich.
GM is reacting to $4-a-gallon gasoline prices by making major cuts in its full-sized pickup and SUV production.
The automaker said it will cease production at its Oshawa, Ontario, truck assembly operations in Canada, which builds the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, likely in 2009.
GM said its plant in Moraine, Ohio, which builds the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Saab 9-7x, will end production at the end of the 2010 model run, or sooner, if demand dictates.
Janesville, Wisc., will cease production of medium-duty trucks by the end of 2009, and of the Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon in 2010, or sooner, if market demand dictates."
"WILMINGTON, Del. - GM today announced a range of strategic initiatives to aggressively respond to growing demand for fuel-efficient vehicles and to economic and market challenges in North America. Rick Wagoner, GM chairman and CEO, made the announcements here as part of the GM annual meeting of stockholders.
Major initiatives announced by Wagoner include:
• A new global compact car program for Chevrolet, a next generation for the popular Chevy Aveo, and a high efficiency engine module for the U.S. market.
• Funding for production of the Chevy Volt extended-range electric vehicle.
• Addition of third shifts to Lordstown and Orion, which build hot-selling Chevy and Pontiac cars.
• Cessation of production at four plants that build pickups, SUVs and medium-duty trucks.
• A strategic review of the Hummer brand.
"From the start of our North American turnaround plan in 2005, I've said that our goal is not just to return GM to profitability, but to structure GM globally for sustained profitability and growth," said Wagoner.
"Since the first of this year, however, U.S. economic and market conditions have become significantly more difficult," he said. "Higher gasoline prices are changing consumer behavior, and they are significantly affecting the U.S. auto industry sales mix."
In North America, GM has been moving rapidly and successfully to revitalize its car lineup and grow its crossover business. New GM cars and crossovers, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevy Malibu, Pontiac Vibe and Buick Enclave, have been selling strongly, and GM intends to build on this success. In fact, 18 of the next 19 new GM products for the U.S. will be cars or crossovers.
Additional operational and strategic actions will be required to position GM for sustainable profitability and growth. These initiatives fall into three broad areas: product and technology, manufacturing facilities and capacity, and the Hummer brand.
New Chevrolet models and a high-efficiency engine module approved
To further strengthen GM's lineup of fuel-efficient cars, the GM board has approved a next-generation compact Chevy for the U.S. and global markets, a next generation of the popular Chevy Aveo, and a U.S. production module of GM's 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
The new Chevy compact will be better equipped than today's compact cars, and will be designed to set quality and safety benchmarks for the compact class. Production will begin in mid-2010 at GM's Lordstown, Ohio, plant, subject to final negotiations with state and local authorities.
"This car will represent the first U.S. application of our global architecture strategy," said Wagoner. "This strategy will pay major dividends as we leverage our extensive car product development capability in Europe, Korea, and other locations to accelerate the shift in our U.S. product portfolio."
The next-generation compact will be pure Chevrolet in design, and will feature the 1.4-liter turbocharged version of GM's global four-cylinder engine. With this engine and a manual transmission, the new Chevy is expected to achieve a 9 mpg improvement over Chevy's current entry in this segment. The engine will be produced in Flint, Michigan, again subject to final negotiations with state and local authorities.
Also recently approved was a next generation of the popular Chevy Aveo. Based on a global architecture, the Aveo is also expected to have segment-leading fuel economy when it goes on sale in the U.S. market in the second half of 2010.
These new Chevy models will help build on GM's leadership in fuel efficient vehicles. For example, GM continues to offer more vehicles with a 30-mpg or better highway fuel economy rating than any competitor."

"Ford F series loses title as top-selling vehicle in May
Honda Civic sets new record of 53,299 sales
The Ford F-150 pickup truck has been dethroned as America's favorite vehicle for the first time since 1991 -- by four sedans.
According to preliminary sales figures released by automakers, Ford Motor Co. sold 42,973 F-series trucks in May, while Toyota Motor Corp. sold 52,826 Corollas and 51,291 Camrys.
The Honda Civic beat all vehicles with sales of 53,299 vehicles -- an all-time record for any month -- while the Honda Accord raked in another 43,728 in sales, according to American Honda Motor Co.
The last time a car outsold the F series was October 1991.
Ford CEO Alan Mulally said the fact that cars are outselling trucks is further evidence that the industry is undergoing a change in consumer preference.
"We really believe we are seeing a structural shift with the fuel prices going through the $3.40-to-$3.60" range. It's interesting that a lot of others are saying the same thing now," Mulally told reporters Monday, June 2, at a dinner in Washington.
"So I think we're seeing a structural shift where, with the prices being high in the United States, we're seeing exactly what happened in Europe a number of years ago, where the customers are going to make economic decisions, and they're going to move toward smaller and medium-sized vehicles.""
http://www.autonews.com/article/20080603/ANA05/959951360/1078/emailblast02&refse- ct=emailblast02
Looks like gas prices are going to accomplish what the Congress never could, using CAFE: a shift to fuel-efficient vehicles in the U.S. The thing about consumer preference, of course, is that it is fickle, so I'm glad that there is added pressure on automakers to improve fuel efficiency, even if it comes from a relatively weak tool in the form of CAFE 2020.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
Yeah, I saw those articles too. They really have nothing to do with this law though; the trend away trucks is due to current market forces.
This new CAFE law is already obsolete, as the average mpg will rise quicker and further than this law sets as a goal.0
Yeah, that's kind of what I was trying to point out. I guess I didn't need to copy over the whole article to accomplish that, eh? :blush:
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
The automakers went to Washington to go whaa whaa whaa about the schedule of fuel economy increases they must meet by 2015.
http://www.autonews.com/article/20080701/ANA02/527230349/1128/emailblast02&Profi- - le=1128
"The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers asked the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to reconsider its plan to raise standards by 4.5 percent a year during the 2011-15 model years.
By 2015, under the plan, cars would have to average about 35.7 mpg and trucks would have to average about 28.6 mpg -- about 25 percent higher overall than today.
The proposal "would require manufacturers to expend resources at a pace that is excessive given the fact that the auto industry is already under economic stress," the alliance said in formal comments reacting to preliminary rules NHTSA unveiled in April."
I find it ironic that many of the automakers are partly or mostly under economic stress because the fuel economy of their vehicles sucks so bad. If only they would comply with the new regs, their economic stress would likely decrease significantly!
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
Their trip to the nation's capital has little to do with fuel economy. They're not so much crying about the new CAFE standards, as laying the groundwork for a bailout.
GM stock is at $12 per share -- a 40 year low. Ford is languishing around $5 per share. The execs see the meteor coming, and they want the taxpayers to give them shelter.
However, unlike Chrysler in the 1980s, the Big 3 have fired so many workers in the United States, along with moving so many factories to foreign countries, that they'll have a tough time convincing folks that a bailout is "good for American workers."
The upcoming dog and pony show will be interesting.
Interesting. I hadn't thought about that potential angle. I really don't think they will get their way on delaying CAFE increases anyway, now that California's GHG emissions law has passed the courts.
And I don't support a bailout. The industry has failed to contract sufficiently or quickly enough, and as they are positioned now, I think there is only room for one domestic in the car industry of the future, 20 years out. As of this moment, I am convinced that one survivor should and will be GM, and it doesn't need a bailout to accomplish that. It just needs to aggressively and unswervingly stay the course it has been on for about three years now.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
"one survivor should and will be GM, and it doesn't need a bailout to accomplish that."
GM will only need a bailout if it can't secure $15 billion in financing from the private sector. How much of your money are you willing to invest in GM bonds?0
Nah, they won't need a bailout. They need to get that new 2-mode hybrid in everything they possibly can, they need to get Korea cranked up to deliver new small cars with much better fuel economy than the existing ones, and in terms of long-term survival they probably need to cancel Saturn and maybe Pontiac, and make Buick a China-only brand (and dump Hummer and make Saab a Europe-only brand). Let Buick China stand on its own, from R&D through production, and if it can't make it over there then just kill the brand entirely.
And don't spend one more nickel working on replacements for the GMT900 trucks. These things were supposedly the most fabulous trucks ever built, completely redesigned less than two years ago - let them have a decade-long run and see what full-size pick-up sales look like then. I think they have already made the decision to do this.
Instead spend the money getting 50-state diesels ready for the big vehicles, new small engines including a turbo or two for smaller cars, and get fuel economy way way UP across the board.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
I would generally agree w/ everything you've said (remember, GM let their trucks go from 1973-1987 w/o a major redesign) except Buick. When GM showed the Park Ave, Riviera, and Invicta concepts in China, people here said why can't we get these here??? So, the designs definitely are a hit, and were designed by teams here AND in China. They would have a big meeting on what would work here and there, discuss it, and go to work. When the team here was done, they would leave it for the crew in China, and when they came in in the morning, they would just pick up where the Chinese left off. Kind of like a 24 hr design team. this cut costs and design time, and insured everybody was on the same page. I'm sure they could be built here AND there, as well.0
I hear what you are saying, but the issue with the domestics is not only fuel economy, but also way too many brands and rapidly shrinking market share. GM is the biggest offender there, and if you figure that ultimately the market will probably give about the same amount of share to GM as to Toyota, 8 brands just makes no sense (it is 8, right?). Buick sells mainly large cars and crossovers, one of which (large cars) is a segment that has seen wholesale abandonment in the last 12 months. And can you really see some huge thing like the Lucerne with a turbo 4? Nobody would want it even if GM could engineer and produce it.
One has to question the business case for GMC if the full-size segment gets down to 1 million annual units total in the U.S., which it well may (it is well on its way already). Seems like a GM with just Chevy and Cadillac for sale in the U.S. would be about right for the year 2025. I could see maybe having one more specialized brand, and maybe you could turn either Pontiac or Saturn into that brand. I know people have just gotten used to the idea of having Buick Pontiac and GMC dealers combined, but in reality all GM will really need in 20 years is Chevy - (Pontiac or Saturn) - Cadillac. And it will need more small Chevys, with Korea standing ready to provide everything smaller than an Impala, hopefully with significantly boosted fuel economy.
If they keep Buick and GMC, it will tip their product mix too much towards large cars and trucks, and that will screw up their CAFE fleet average. They don't need any more problems like that than they already have, particularly for the handful of sales Buick and GMC produce each year.
Once the California GHG legislation becomes law and the other 11-14 states follow suit, GMC and Buick will become major major liabilities (as will Hummer of course, but I bet we will see that sold off any day now). Even Pontiac and Saturn will have to change dramatically, but at least they have diverse enough product mixes not to be totally hopeless.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)0
I do see your point about shaving brands. Selling Hummer, and Saab, and restricting GMC to the Commercial nameplate only makes sense. Maybe one way to keep some brand names around, and successful, would be to "value price" the brands. First, instead of separating the brands at different dealerships, put them all under one roof. If someone wants a mid to large sedan, and has say $26k to spend, they should be looking at 3 brands only. That would be Chevy, Pontiac, or Saturn. now the question becomes what type of car are you looking for? If they want value, Chevy, Euro styling, Saturn, sporty, Pontiac. Currently, they would have 5 choices: Malibu, Impala, Aura, G6, or G8. By right, the Lacrosse should be above these, luring people looking for a Lexus GS, or Avalon. If they have say, $35k to spend, that is where you turn their attention to a Lacrosse, or CTS, and the Lacrosse should be BIGGER than the CTS, so they have a decision to make.
Fuel economy isn't going to be as big a deal as you think, if they are willing to put 2 mode hybrid trannys in these cars. Volume production should keep the cost to a minimum0
huntzinger Posts: 356It is precisely because the US Automakers have turned to DC for bailouts (such as the E85 charade) and keeping competitors out of the US market (such as diesel pollution standars), instead of being themselves a key innovative leader that is better alligned with world realities (the handwriting has been on the wall for expensive oil for years) and what all of the consumer market segments want, for why they've been losing market share everywhere except in big honking SUVs.
And insofar as the fuel economy angst, Blu-Tek technology exists in diesels -- all GM has to do is licence it from Mercedes: technical risk: ZERO!
If they want to beg for regulatory relief, then let them relax the diesel pollution standards to harmonize them with EU ... GM can then licence the VW / Audi TDI, as well as the plain Mercedes CDI. Again, technical risk is zero.
Why would GM have to "license" anything from anybody, when they have those products for sale in the EU already??? Tech risk: zero. Cost: ZERO0
lemmer Posts: 2,699Don't you know? According to GM, we don't want that European stuff here. They understand that Americans only want big pickups and Suburbans.0
The Prez commited yesterday to a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2050. Needless to say, that's not nearly a big enough reduction, and other countries called him out on that score. But even if we just settle for the 50% figure, the automakers won't have any time to rest in 2020 - they will have to get cracking on improving fuel economy even further, just as quickly....

"Needless to say, that's not nearly a big enough reduction..."
How much is enough, and why?0
MPG being the question is a situation that won't last long, if we turn to the more important question of just what alternative (to gasoline) fuel shall we use to replace gasoline. We have a tremendous supply of natural gas in America. We could "quickly" begin this substitution process while we work on a future fuel of whatever sort for the long haul.0
Well 80% by 2050 is enough to negate the worst effects of global warming by the year 2100, according to the report by the IPCC. That is for all developed nations, but especially for what is by far the biggest energy consumer and polluter in the world, the United States.
If we switch to natural gas, we will still be consuming a non-renewable energy source that produces greenhouse gas emissions.
If we can manage to produce massive quantities of cellulosic ethanol, then I like E85's chances. But that's a long way off, if ever. We need to diversify our automotive energy sources as much as possible, as soon as possible.
Oh yeah, and my original remark was slightly tongue in cheek, as there were no specific obligations agreed to by the G8 leaders on Tuesday, and no-one expects them ever to have the courage or the foresight to actually oblige themselves in any specific way, so automakers don't really need to worry...

Let's get graphically fundamental: The natural gas for IC engines is aimed at fueling our transportation to get us to work each morning, after which we will do our jobs developing the future fuel. Eventually we start using the new future fuel and quit using the natural gas, which had itself already replaced gasoline in significant proportion. None of this will occur instantaneously. Yes, we will use gasoline and natural gas for a while. And on another vein, we should consider the conversion of our vast coal resources to other fuels. Key word: consider. We really must also consider that to get from A to Z, we may need to linger briefly at F, K, O, and V. Patience and pure science are mandatory. Double punt the emotionality! (he said, with some notable emotion...) :shades:0
We have a tremendous supply of natural gas in America.
You are right about the tremendous supply - but it is in the ground or under the oceans.
The problem is how do you deliver it economically? I live in NH and the vast majority of the state does not gas-lines. The areas that do have natural gas, usually run short on supply near the end of the winter. So there is no extra supply for more people to run there houses, never mind running their vehicles on them too.
LNG also comes into the area on tankers, and the LNG is stored in tanks. There are a lot of safety and terrorist concerns even at present levels of use.
We use many fuels right now to heat our homes, and power our cars ... You can't eliminate any unless you have a viable - economic and quick way to do so. It's just theory and dreaming to state otherwise.0

David Flink
In a scholastic milieu where the odds were stacked against him from even before his early diagnosis of dyslexia and ADHD (in 5th grade), David has faced a new Goliath so often, so calmly, and with such inevitable success, it's no wonder he has taken his place as a true leader on the front lines of the learning rights movement. David, like so many of the kids on whose behalf he serves today, struggled through much of his pre-college education, feeling marginalized by his education as a whole. Although his parents and teachers frequently reassured him that college was in the cards, he would have found that message more actionable, and useful, if it had come from a peer, a person with a learning difference (LD) who had finished college. With that in mind, David co-founded Eye to Eye in 1998 while a student at Brown University. Eye to Eye is the only national mentoring movement that is empowering young people with LD by giving them a mentor who shares that experience. David holds a Master's degree in Disability Studies in Education from Columbia University and Bachelor's degrees with honors in Education and Psychology from Brown University.

Genetics Will Help Social Engineers Nurture the Brain's Nature
By Gary Marcus
Los Angeles Times, Op-ed, April 21, 2004
The human brain has been described as everything from the "last frontier" and "biology's greatest challenge" to "the most elaborate structure in the known universe" and Woody Allen's "second-favorite organ."
With rapid advances in biotechnology and basic sciences such as genetics, neuroscience and psychology, we will soon have a radically improved understanding of the contribution of genes to the developing brain. Used wisely, that knowledge could lead to an entirely new approach to social intervention. But doing so will require overcoming some common misconceptions about how genes operate.
Genes are widely seen as either blueprints or deterministic dictators but, in fact, neither view is correct. A single organism's collection of genes its genome can lead to many different outcomes, depending on the environment surrounding that genome. The African butterfly Bicyclus anyana, for example, can take on two different forms a colorful version in the rainy season and a dull brown version in the dry season depending on how its genes are switched on and off.
The consequences of the responsiveness of genes to the environment may be even more profound in a human. A butterfly's coloration pattern may only be skin deep, but the switching of human genes in response to the environment may profoundly shape our personalities.
Contrary to our usual belief that genes force us toward one possibility rather than another, contemporary biology is revealing a different picture in which genes arm us with ways of responding to different environments. To take but one example, a recent study still preliminary, but breathtaking in what it might mean suggests that people who bear a particular version of an enzyme known as MAO-A (part of the serotonin pathway) are predisposed to violence, but only if raised in abusive environments. This particular version of MAO-A is better thought of not as a gene "for violence" but as a gene that leads its bearers to different kinds of strategies, depending on their environments.
Given that genes themselves are responsive to the environment, and responsive in different ways in different people, a bold new possibility suggests itself, akin to an idea that has taken hold in medicine under the name of pharmacogenetics. The idea behind pharmacogenetics is that different people respond differently to different drugs depending on their own individual chemistry; depending on your genes, one version of a drug may be more effective, another less so.
Doctors are already beginning to incorporate this sort of information into the prescription of certain powerful drugs, and they will do so more and more as our understanding of genes grows.
Just as pharmacogenetics tailors medical intervention to individual genetic profiles, a new field of "social-intervention genetics" could tailor social intervention to individual genetic profiles. For example, other things being equal, society would get the most for its social intervention buck by specifically offering certain social welfare programs to those with the predisposing form of the MAO-A gene. Genetic information should never be used to dictate who gets to (or, worse, doesn't get to) reproduce; nor should society mandatorily impose intervention where it is not wanted. But by helping to make social interventions available to those who need them most, our growing understanding of nature could help us get the most out of nurture.
Gary Marcus, an associate professor of psychology at New York University, is the author of "The Birth of the Mind: How a Tiny Number of Genes Creates the Complexity of Human Thought" (Basic Books, 2004).

Woah! That's what you'll say once you try the new full-motion VH-12 V-Hi-Hat. This breakthrough electronic hi-hat is designed to precisely model the look and feel of its acoustic counterpart...so much so, that it mounts on any acoustic hi-hat stand! The VH-12 is compatible with Roland's TD-20, TD-20X and TD-12 sound modules.
The new V-Hi-Hat uses top and bottom cymbals with full-motion capability for ultra-natural stick/pedal work, and is designed to work with the enhanced dynamics of the TD-20 percussion sound module. The dual-trigger VH-12 can convincingly create a range of hi-hat sounds from open to closed including the half-open position with all of its delicate nuances. By applying pressure to the pedal (even after closing), you can vary the pitch and decay for playing fast and tight articulations just like an acoustic hi-hat!Features:

Hey Whisperers.
It's been awhile since I've posted and i don't really know why. Things have just got really busy lately and finding time to write posts has become harder. Don't get me wrong I love this blog, I love writing posts for you guys but sometimes it's just not as easy as sitting down and just writing. So much more goes into writing a post. Planning it, taking photos, writing it, re reading and editing it, linking it, scheduling and labelling it. A Lot of work goes into each post i write.
Over the past two weeks I have just taken time to be a teenager, I've been working a lot, I've been going out more and it has been great but i have really missed blogging. I have loved my short break from blogging but I'm ready to get back to it. Starting Tuesday I will be back, so stick around because there's a lot of posts to come.
You haven't seen the last of me yet.
Thanks For Reading,

One of the recurring questions the Humanities Indicators receives concerns the extent to which
students are engaging with the humanities as undergraduates—a subject for which
there is precious little data. The best available information comes from an occasional
survey of college graduates (the Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study), which includes
a painstaking review of the college transcripts of a nationally representative sample
of college graduates. The most recent study covered 2008 graduates and offers a
detailed picture of the number and types of courses students attempt and complete,
and how course-taking differs between the majors.
Our tabulation highlights some of the variations between the fields of student majors:
Our commenters on these findings are Norman M. Bradburn, professor
emeritus and former provost at the University of Chicago, as well as co-principal
investigator of the Academy's
Humanities Indicators project; and John G. Hildebrand,
Regents Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Arizona and coeditor of the
Academy's report Science and the Educated American: A Core Component of Liberal
Education (available both in PDF and in print).

Compared with our knowledge about students who take courses in the sciences, we
know very little about who takes humanities courses in college. With the sciences,
most of what we know is about majors rather than courses taken because data on majors
are more readily available. Therefore having basic information about relative course-taking
by students who majored in particular subjects is extremely important.
Although humanities majors constitute a smaller proportion of college graduates
than do science majors (12% vs. 15%), it is surprising to find that college students
as a whole take a higher number of humanities courses than STEM courses (22 credits
vs. 17 credits or about 17% vs. 14% of their total credit hours).
What do we know about who takes humanities courses? An analysis of 1993 Baccalaureate & Beyond data provides some
clues. Obviously the major is the greatest determinant. The patterns are roughly
similar to those reported here for 2008 graduates (even though history was added
to the humanities category with the 2008 data).
After taking into account the major, the 1993 data revealed that several other individual
characteristics are associated with greater humanities course-taking. Chief among
these are individuals' values regarding what students want in the way of an occupation.
The most important characteristic that works against taking humanities courses is
"materialism," measured by a stronger valuation of such occupational characteristics
as having a good starting salary or owning a business. Graduates who rated high
in materialism were much less likely to take humanities courses (regardless of their
majors) than those rated low in materialism. Of lesser significance was an endorsement
of "power-seeking" as measured by a desire for occupations that enabled one to be
a leader in the community or an authority in one's field. Those who wanted occupations
that enabled them to be leaders or authorities were somewhat more likely to take
humanities courses, even if they were not humanities majors. Unfortunately, the
values were measured in the students' senior year, so we cannot say whether the
values influenced the humanities course-taking or the course-taking helped shape
the values.
Several other individual characteristics showed a statistically significant but
smaller relationship with humanities course-taking beyond the major. Graduates having
a high verbal SAT score or belonging to a non-Asian minority group were more likely
to take humanities courses regardless of their major.
Alongside values and other demographic characteristics, it is important to note
how structural features of certain colleges and universities shape or restrict humanities
course-taking. At many large universities, which the majority of students attend,
students apply to a college within the university (such as the college of business,
college of education, etc.), which has its own curriculum and course distribution
requirements. While it may be possible to take courses in the other colleges, the
initial choice of a college within the university effectively determines the number
of humanities courses available to a student. Although there is some ability to
change colleges within large universities, the initial choice of college restricts
the humanities courses than one can take to a much greater extent than in a liberal
arts college, where the selection of a major can come later and there is greater
freedom to explore different fields.

Those of us who teach undergraduates are familiar with the trend revealed in these
data. Baccalaureate graduates typically have earned more course credits in the humanities
(about 17% as defined here) than in STEM fields (about 13%). STEM majors earn fewer
credits in the humanities than do students majoring in other areas; and students
majoring in the humanities, business, social sciences, and education apparently
earn no more than a required minimum of their credits in STEM courses. This picture
has puzzled me throughout my career. Why do STEM students avoid humanities courses
and students in non-STEM majors avoid STEM courses?
Often repeated explanations include: "STEM courses are hard, not interesting, not
relevant to the student's interests, and/or boring;" "there isn't room in a STEM
student's demanding curriculum for more humanities;" "humanities courses won't help
a STEM student achieve her goals and get a job;" and "STEM courses aren't important
for a humanities student's goals." It seems to me that all of these excuses point
in the same general direction: we, the faculty, fail to make clear why breadth in
general education is important and how courses outside a student's areas of primary
interest can be valuable. We fail to design and offer high-quality STEM and humanities
courses that are appealing, interesting, and engaging to the students as well as
appropriate as general education courses (as opposed to the introductory courses
required for most majors). And we fail to make room in baccalaureate curricula for
more courses outside a student's major.
I think we do a fairly good job of preparing students to build careers in special
fields represented by the majors they choose. Thus, American colleges and universities
produce well-trained and skilled graduates in fields as diverse as accounting, chemistry,
instrumental music, molecular biology, premedical studies, psychology, and political
science. But do we do as well in educating our students to be good citizens
who will live rewarding and enriched lives? We should want our graduates to be able
to understand articles in the popular press about politics and advances in STEM
fields, to recognize and understand references to literature in what they read,
to be numerate, and to have some appreciation of the fine arts. We should want our
students to become informed and responsible voters.
From my perspective as a STEM faculty member who cherishes the arts and humanities
as well as interdisciplinary experiences and thinking, the challenge is quite clear.
I cannot express it more effectively than my good friend and colleague Jerrold Meinwald,
who wrote in his preface to Science and the Educated American: A Core Component
of Liberal Education, the book we co-edited in 2010 for the American Academy
of Arts and Sciences (available online):
"Clearly, we need offerings that students will enjoy rather than dread. We need
to provide undergraduates with insights and understanding of the scientific enterprise
that will serve them well throughout their lives. Ideally, we would like to help
our institutions of higher learning produce successive generations of students who
see science for what it is: a creative, exciting, adventurous, an at the same time,
profoundly useful human endeavor!"
John G. Hildebrand, University of Arizona
The data presented here were drawn using the
National Center for Education Statistics' PowerStats tool.
The credit counts presented in the graph are based on the 80% of all 2007–2008 bachelor's
degree recipients who had complete course code information on all credits recognized
by their bachelor's-degree-granting institution.
NCES counts credits earned in the following courses as "humanities" credits:
For the purposes of this analysis, "STEM" follows the NCES's definition of the category,
which includes:
Normalized credit calculations place hours or credit units received for a course
on a common scale so that credit units can be compared across students and institutions.
Major-Specific Earned Credit Totals, Median Values (on which percentages
included in the findings were calculated)
While it is not possible to know exactly how many courses a given credit count represents,
some "back-of-the envelope" calculations can provide an estimate. The median number
of college credits earned in all subjects by 2008 graduates was 127. If we assume
a semester system and that students typically take four classes a semester each
year for four years, a semester-long course would be equivalent to approximately
four normalized credits.
The key variables used for this analysis are the same as those used by NCES in preparing
Baccalaureate: The Fields and Courses That 2007–08 Bachelor's Degree Recipients
Studied" (May, 2013; NCES 2013-755). Please consult this publication and

History in the Making
July 4, 2011 by Paul Foeller • Print Story •
When Rory McIlroy won (and actually ran away with) the 2011 U.S. Open, he didn't just redefine the path of his own career — he redefined the Tiger-less landscape of golf. His record-shattering performance may have been the beautiful beginning to a brilliant career, and taken the bulk of the attention off of injured head case Tiger Woods. That's why the 22-year-old McIlroy didn't just win a victory for himself (and his father) — he won one for all of golf.
When a 22-year-old kid beats — nay, slaughters — the best golfers in the world, it's hard not to take notice. When it's the same guy that blew a lead in the final round of the Masters only two months prior, yet exhibited grace and sportsmanship beyond that of his older and supposedly more mature peers, it's impossible not to stand and applaud.
That's why I'm sitting here, still two weeks before the British Open, focusing almost none of my attention on either Tiger or the field that's competing in the AT&T National. Instead, I'm eagerly waiting to see what Rory McIlroy will do in the British Open. For the first time in a long time, somebody without the last name Woods has single-handedly made golf exciting again — and made it worth talking about before Sundays.
A game that is often called a gentlemen's game finally has a leading athlete that actually exhibits the class and demeanor of an at least loosely defined gentlemen. I'm not talking about a suit and tie, shaken-not-stirred gentlemen — I'm just saying the guy doesn't beat the crap out of his driver after a bad tee-shot, or single-handedly give overtime pay to network censors.
So let's not pretend, like some naysayers, that McIlroy can't be as important to the sport as Tiger was because he's not good enough. Even if he wasn't good enough to eventually be that dominant (and he is by the way) that's not the only reason he matters to golf. It's a combination of that skill and his aforementioned composure both on and off the course that make it plainly obvious just how big a deal Rory McIlroy can be when all is said and done.
It's the fact that there now exists the possibility that in a few years, a father introducing his son to a game he loves can point at the TV and not only say "that's what a good swing looks like," but also say "that's' how you lose with grace," and be talking about the same person in both instances. Even though there exist other golfers of whom both statements could be said at times, none have the same ability as McIlroy to reach a younger generation — none have the same ability to make golf matter again to the potential golfers of the future.
So next Thursday, don't just tune in to see one of four majors, to see an update on Tiger, or even just to remind yourself of great times in the history of golf. Tune in to see the future of golf, and history in the making — tune in to see Rory McIlroy.
Comments and Conversation
July 10, 2011
I've gone back and forth with whether I wanted to comment on the article. Personally, I do enjoy Tiger and hope he does get to come back and compete on a healthy level. Others aren't so enamored with Eldrick, and I understand that completely.
Where I've got to disagree is in the level of impact. If McIlroy goes on to win a multitude of Majors, then I do agree that the interest in watching golf should stay high. But even if Rory takes over the mantle of Greatest golfer ever, I don't believe he'll have a whole lot of impact on the overall game. On future golfers? Debatable. But on the game itself, I don't think so.
In my mind, there are three players that are on the highest tier of impact to the game of golf over the last 100 years…Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, and Tiger Woods. Jones for his famed Grand Slam that started to get people to notice in the 1930s, his creation of the Masters, and his contributions outside of the game. Palmer for bringing the game to the masses as the "Everyman" champion. And Woods for being the inspiration that minorities in particular look at as their reason for getting taking up the game.
I do agree that Rory will win multiple Majors and getting the pressure off early will help. But as far as impact is concerned…just don't see it there. Again, just my opinion.

I'm still here.
Just in case you're one of the three people who has checked this space in the past year and found nothing new, I would like you to know that I am still part of the living. Also, I apologize for not writing anything for this space for the past how many hundred days.
To the curious, I went AWOL for the better part of two years because I underwent one of the most profound yet quite typical of human experiences which was getting my heart broken. And how excruciating it is to admit, I could hardly put fingertips on keyboard to do numerous post-mortems of the relationship, more so to write stories from the heart.
Grieving I certainly was, though I only admitted it after the 257th time I've said to myself that it was all for the best. After that, I booked myself a holiday to a dream destination which happened to be as disconnected to the outside world as one could be these days. Me, myself, and I were going to be on the road again and I could hardly wait! After all, Dame Judy Dench as Elizabeth I once said, heartbreak calls for a journey. And I was determined to make this one an epic.
But the majestic karsts, young backpackers, nor the crippling internet connection failed to keep my mind off of him. On the contrary, I wanted to share every single thing with him. I wanted to comment how the distinct topography have basically sealed this nation's fate or how happy/ sad that the elders still speak French or how resilient the people are for having survived a war that was never really theirs. I wanted him there to talk to, to share a meal with, to drag me out of bed because it's time to give alms to the monks.
Not that I didn't enjoy myself because I certainly did. I cycled around town, scarfed down most of the food I laid my eyes on, and ogled pretty much at every colonial structure.
And being on the road alone made me feel like myself again. I am again that girl who doesn't need anything but her backpack, her passport, and her own two feet who's on her way to see the world.
As this year unfolds, I hope to go farther and stay longer on the road than I've ever been. Alone or with a companion, I don't know. Let's see what life has in store for me.

No problem! The Ultimate Spider-Man Color Shock Slinger includes a special water canister. Load it in and you're ready to soak the bad guys and save the city! Each sold separately.

How to help the poor buy homes
Joe Weisenthal has attacked NYU's Dalton Conley twice for his op-ed saying that the US government should ramp up its efforts to promote homeownership among the poor. But the truth is that they're both right about a lot of things.
Certainly homeownership in general is not the unalloyed good that Conley makes it out to be. It increases unemployment, for one thing, and as homeownership rises it has a concomitant deleterious effect on the lives of those people who don't own their own homes — it essentially ghettoizes renters.
That said, homeownership is a good thing under certain conditions: if poor people buy homes in their own neighborhoods, with mortgages which cost them less than they were paying in rent, then pretty much everybody wins. And it's largely that kind of situation which Conley is talking about when he brings up the example of Self-Help, in North Carolina.
Weisenthal is right though that programs such as Self-Help's are difficult to scale. The best way to encourage them is through grants from the CDFI fund, which targets money at precisely those not-for-profit financial institutions which have proved themselves able to underwrite loans to America's poor in a responsible and sustainable manner. That kind of underwriting is not easy, and it's labor-intensive, and it requires having deep roots in the local community. In other words, it's particularly ill-suited to being rolled out as a stand-alone federal program.
Dalton is right that in certain hard-hit areas of the country, the conditions are ripe for community lenders to help poorer Americans buy their first homes and thereby help to (re)build their communities. But let's do this in a bottom-up manner, rather than implement yet another enormous federal scheme.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
It's important for doctors to recognize that dental health doesn't just stop at the mouth, as it also affects the rest of the body. In an effort to spread awareness of this, the American Dental Association (ADA) recently endorsed Smiles for Life, the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine's national online oral health curriculum.
The goal of this project is to encourage doctors and nurses to join the fight against dental disease, and make oral health a part of primary medical care.
"With physicians, nurses, physician assistants and other members of the primary care team joining the fight for oral health, we have a real chance to eradicate the silent epidemic of dental disease," said Kathleen O'Loughlin, D.M.D., executive director of the ADA, quoted by Dentistry IQ.
This is an important step considering that oral health is an integral part of overall well-being. According to the Mayo Clinic, the mouth is teeming with bacteria, and while most of these organisms are harmless, some are not. Brushing, flossing and visiting the dentist regularly can help keep this bad bacteria in check. However, poor dental care habits may cause these organisms to enter the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, potentially leading to cardiovascular problems.

RP-VITA Auto Drive and iPad® App extend remote care with unprecedented ease of use
InTouch Health, the leader in acute care telemedicine, announced on January 8, it received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the RP-VITA Remote Presence Robot. The RP-VITA is the first telemedicine robot designed for remote doctor-to-patient consults that combines state-of-the-art telecommunications and autonomous navigation technology. The RP-VITA is FDA cleared for telemedicine consults inclusive of active patient monitoring in high-acuity environments where immediate clinical action may be required. The FDA clearance specifically allows RP-VITA to be used for active patient monitoring in pre-operative, peri-operative and post-surgical settings, including cardiovascular, neurological, prenatal, psychological and critical care assessments and examinations.
The RP-VITA is a multi-faceted medical device platform that features Auto Drive and an iPad user interface that give it unprecedented ease of use and versatility for delivering high acuity telemedicine. RP-VITA merges seamlessly with existing hospital processes to provide state-of-the-art audiovisual capabilities with a high-quality interactive experience. Furthermore, the RP-VITA platform was designed with a full range of clinical capabilities for delivering services like TeleStroke and TeleICU today that can be expanded to integrate patient data and enable other important clinical functions in the future. Enhancing efficiency through ease of use and care coordination, RP-VITA sets a new standard of performance for delivering acute care remotely.
"RP-VITA brings to market a true next-generation remote presence solution that will enable many new clinical applications and uses," said Yulun Wang, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of InTouch Health. "We are proud to have achieved this regulatory objective with the autonomous navigation capability for RP-VITA and are absolutely committed to the highest standards for safety and efficacy. We are pleased to provide customers the assurance of knowing that our telemedicine solutions have withstood rigorous clinical testing and are fully compliant with FDA regulations."
"RP-VITA raises the bar for acute care telemedicine solutions for patient care delivery. The Robot allows me to effortlessly follow the entire clinical workflow process, and puts me at the point of care precisely when and where I need to be," said Paul Vespa, M.D., Director of Neurocritical Care, UCLA Health System, and Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Neurology at the UCLA School of Medicine. "As a thought-leader in today's challenging health care environment, we at UCLA are very pleased to have participated in the clinical development and validation of this revolutionary heath care delivery platform."
The RP-VITA Robot will be featured during the Digital Health Summit at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), on January 9, 2013, 9:00am at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The presentation, Digital Health Confidential, will be moderated by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent for CNN News, and will include as panelists, Dr. Yulun Wang, Chairman and CEO, InTouch Health, and Colin Angle, Chairman and CEO, iRobot.

The U.S. government should have to stop using gas. We could end global warming and stop all the wars at the same time. If the protesters actually cared about the environment that's the first thing they would do. After the government is shut down many of these big corporations would die out anyways.
A:Governments and countries have to get together and agree on a
common solution. They have to legislate to put a cap on carbon emissions
(to stop factories producing carbon dioxide), they have to stop
deforestation and takes steps to promote new forest growth, they have to
deal with waste and anaerobic decomposition that produces methane, and
they have to promote recycling. They have to cut the use of chemical
fertilizers whose run-off pollutes our waterways, and promote organic
farming, worm farms and composting.

Um ok imagine this green energy people: a world without gasoline. That means no industry in the United States. How is a big rig supposed to deliver thousands of pounds of food to your walmart without fuel? How are trains supposed to get where they're going? What about barges on rivers? What about our military, ever seen a combat solar powered aircraft? And how are our tanks going to get any where without fuel? How am I supposed to even now and weed eat my lawn? How am I supposed to go shopping? Walk 5 miles to walmart and walk 5 miles back with a cart full of groceries, then walk 5 miles to Walmart, give them back their shopping cart, and then walk 5 miles back to my house? A world with no fuel would take us back into pre-industrial revolution times. If you want to destroy your country over some trees then you have some serious problems.
There are no immediate viable options for powering our industry. To ban gasoline is to effectively shut down the United States economy and military. Until better and more efficient options are found, gasoline is unfortunately the best option. Wind power is unreliable, hydrogen is inefficient, and nuclear creates indisposable hazardous waste.
Outlawing gasoline would not only be crazy, it would be impossible. The United States as well as the world relies on gasoline to power not only cars but many other vehicles and machines. If by some stretch of the imagination gasoline could be outlawed, the country would screech to a grinding halt and would no longer be able to function.
Unless they are planning to somehow create a vehicle that does not require gasoline to run, I really do not see how completely outlawing gasoline would be a popular decision with anyone in the world, even if it were to help eliminate global warming. We still need access to our vehicles.

The STC Podcast is back in full swing this evening after yesterday's mega slate of games which some of you may or may not have fallen financially victim to (guilty as charged). If you need an outlet to channel your frustrations or you want to just take it easy and let your mind wander on a Sunday afternoon, then make sure you gear up for Kentucky's own Tod Lanter joining the podcast later today. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Tod played ball at UK for three years and should be able to offer some terrific insight into what it's like to be a part of arguably the biggest and most prestigious program in all of college sports. Now would be the chance to get your questions in. Things like, "On a scale of 1-Prince Harry, how close would you say you were to the Prince of Campus?" or "Did you or any of your teammates ever have a tremendous success rate using pickup lines such as 'hey girl, where you goin' with dem titties?" All fair questions imho. Anyway, the podcast will be recorded later today, so if you're a UK fan or really just a fan of life and college basketball in general, make sure to chime in and stay tuned for this week's episode where Tod will more than likely determine whether or not being a walk on at the University of Kentucky is really the best gig in all of college basketball.

OXFORD, ENGLAND -- It's funny how sometimes a single will seem to take on a life of its own.
When Radiohead's "Creep" first crept onto the airwaves back in 1993, it took radio listeners completely by surprise. It wasn't just the dry, self-deprecating chorus ("I'm a creep, I'm a loser . . .") that did it; it was also the blast of overdriven guitar that went with each self-flagellating admission. In no time at all, this British quintet began to be known as the "Creep" band.
That was fine at the time, but over the years, things have gotten a little, well, creepy. For instance, there was the fan who suggested, via e-mail, that "Creep" was written about singer Thom Yorke's wife. "About my second wife," says the singer, retelling the alleged tale.

Focus Verses: 21:18-21 The Lord expects children to obey their parents and to be disciplined when they disobey.
