PRP for Hair Regrowth
PRP for Hair Regrowth is a powerful and natural hair loss treatment that does not require daily drugs or chemical. Platelets are small cells that circulate in our own bloodstream. Their sole job is to react to injuries by breaking themselves apart releasing many different types of proteins and growth factors. These growth factors attract other cells to begin the damage repair.
Hair loss is due to the loss of hair follicles in the scalp. The remaining hair follicles are still present and able to grow new hair. We take adventage of the growth factors in PRP by creating small and controlled injury through microneedling. PRP is, then, put back on to your scalp and gets activated by the injury and trigger your remaining hair follicles to enter a growth phase. That is how we use PRP to stimulate hair growth and repair cell damage
After a standard in-office blood draw, we then take the blood through centrifugation process to isolate the essence of what we need for hair regrowth, Platelet Rich Plasma. We draw off this Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into a syringe and apply it back to your scalp through micro-channels we create using microneedling method.

We have been picking more Cherries. It seems to be a very good year for them and we are spotting trees filled with fat fruit all over the place.
We have a small tree in our garden and the weight of the cherries plus the obese pigeons attempting to gobble our fruit had even snapped some of the branches.
I duly attached a sheet of wire netting, like a roof over the top of the tree, to protect it from the marauders. The smaller birds could still get underneath but it defeated the largest ones until the Cherries were ready for harvesting.
The tree is not even as tall as I am but the fruit was plentiful, sweet and juicy.
The next thing to ripen will be the Plums and they are also going to be prolific. If you want to share in this bounty, keep an eye on this blog to join us for a Plum Picknik (tba).

Over the years, artificial grass has become increasingly popular in homes. Perhaps, it is because homeowners want a permanent solution for their backyard. Besides, it is because the grass is eco-friendly and saves you on water and fertilizer. Not to forget that you do not have to mow this kind of grass. There are numerous benefits of synthetic grass. If you would like to find out these benefits, then keep reading. The benefits are divided into four broad categories as explained below.
Environmental benefits
Using artificial grass enables you to save the environment. You do not require pesticides and fertilizers. As such, you reduce ground pollution. Furthermore, you save on water bill that you have to use for natural grass. As a result of using synthetic grass, you can conserve water for other purposes around the home. Therefore, using artificial grass allows you to save money in many ways. Additionally, you do not have to worry about carbon emissions resulting from mowing the lawn.
Financial benefits
Initially, the cost of synthetic grass can overwhelm you. However, you stand to enjoy financial advantages in the long term. The cost of synthetic lawn depends on different factors such as land coverage and grass type. You should focus on the amount of money you will save once you install this lawn. For starters, you do not have to pay for a lawn mowing services and even the cost of fertilizers. Apart from this, you will save on other costs such as water bill that you occur when you have natural grass.
Maintenance benefits
Synthetic grass will last for long depending on several factors like weather conditions and foot traffic. Most artificial grass last for about 12 to 15 years. Artificial lawns do not require a lot of maintenance and will always look beautiful. Therefore, you do not have to worry about watering your lawn from time to time. Your work has been cut out for you. All you have to do is just make sure that there is less foot traffic on the lawn.
Ease of use
Nowadays, people are too busy to care for their grass. Mowing can consume a lot of time and time is what you do not have.
Artificial grass, on the other hand, does not need a lot of time on maintenance. It is beneficial for old people who not have strength to mow their lawn. Homeowners who are not present most of the time can also make use of this lawn.

Volume I April, 1956 No. 4
We are happy that many pas-tors
have reported their congre-gations
are giving priority to the
Seminary appeal this year, and
that if the congregations can do
more than meet the suggested
goal for the Seminary, they will
do something for Augustana's
Centennial Fund also. We are
pleased, too, that we can report
many definite commitments and
decisions which have been made
by congregational business meet-ings
by which they have entered
into active participation in Au-gustana's
appeal this year.
There are 307 congregations in
the Augustana College Associa-tion
area. Of these, 102 congre-gations
(38.3%) have budgeted a
total of $48,239.50 for Augus-tana's
Centennial Fund in 1956.
Twenty - seven congregations
(10.1%) have decided that one or
more special offerings shall be
received during 1956 for Augus-tana's
In four congregations (1.5%)
resolutions were passed initiat-ing
a personal solicitation of
gifts for Augustana to raise their
suggested goal.
These 133 congregations,
have reported the definite steps
taken for participation in Au-gustana's
Centennial Fund Ap-peal
in 1956.
In addition to this, five congre-gations
which voted to give full
support to the Seminary appeal
this year, also decided to raise
the entire suggested five year
goal for Augustana during the
four year period from 1957 to
In view of the fact that the
Seminary appeal is given pri-ority
this year, we are encour-aged
when one-half of the con-gregations
have decided to take
active part in Augustana's Cen-tennial
Fund drive also. What
we are concerned about now is
that interest in the Centennial
Fund be kept alive so that when
the next annual meetings be
held in the congregations it shall
be given priority over all other
outside appeals.
Augustana is grateful for the
good will, the prayers and the
gifts of the pastors and people in
the congregations. The gifts
from congregations to the Cen-tennial
Fund in 1955 totaled
$40,026.00. While the total com-mitments
were $54,907.80, we are
not alarmed over the fact that
many congregations did not
quite reach the goals they had
set for 1955. Many of the meet-ings
were held during July and
August after more than half of
the year was past. Then came
the late Summer drought which
sharply reduced the income of
many members. When we con-sider
these facts we feel doubly
thankful to the people for what
they have done for Augustana.
Here is a suggestion which
may expedite early completion
of this great project: Congrega-tions
which have not budgeted

I have read some time in a magazine that our life here on Earth comes with a risk – and that is the fact that we are born with cancer cells. Its name alone triggers fear to someone who wants to spend as much time as they can with their loved ones. If you have read about Angelina Jolie's mastectomy issue, she went through the process after her cancer test showed that she has 65% chance of acquiring the disease once she reaches her prime age. The disease has already claimed the lives of her mother and, recently, her aunt.
For many years, breast cancer has been the most prevalent form of cancer in the world and it usually occurs to women who are nearing their menopausal stage. This explains that most women suffering from breast cancers are within the age range of 40-50 years old. Unfortunately, medications for the treatment of breast cancers haven't been formulated yet, and the best way to combat against the disease is to know how to lower your risk of acquiring it. Thus, the best question that we have at hand is how to prevent breast cancer. Looking at the areas that increase your risk to acquiring breast cancer, weight, lifestyle, and diet are three of the main factors that you could alter to keep at bay from breast cancer.
For many years, researchers have noted that weight has a major impact in one's body and it can trigger other diseases, including breast cancers. Losing weight is one of the steps that you could take to avoid increasing your risk to breast cancer. Another element is your lifestyle. Are you fond of drinking, smoking, and eating fast food restaurants? If so, then slowly put a halt to such lifestyle and strive your best to overcome these temptations as these don't do any good. Apart from that, having a sedentary lifestyle, which means very little exercise in a week, could also trigger cancer cells. In fact, recent reports released by the American Cancer Society showed that women who spend at least 7 hours a week walking lower their chances of acquiring breast cancer by 14% while women, who sweat it out vigorously for few hours each day, reduce their risk to at least 25%. The recent report came out after a two-decade long of study among some 70,000 women around the world who participated in the survey. Those who didn't make any exercise nor had very little exercise at all increased their risk to as much as 60% while some 4,000 women who participated in the survey and did very little exercise acquired the disease after 2 decades. Finally, you have food. Cooking your own food and knowing what's in it are the best ways to dine rather than dining in fast food restaurants as the latter often have lots of condiments and fatty substances in their recipes.

Local veterans not just heroes, they're innovators
Ask a soldier for a word they think of that starts with "I" and you might hear "integrity." Ask a Washingtonian and you might hear "innovation."
The culture of innovation in our state has created Fortune 50 companies that connect people globally, whether with information technology thanks to Microsoft, transportation thanks to Boeing, essential products thanks to Amazon, or with other people over a great cup of coffee thanks to Starbucks.
The culture of integrity fostered by the military has created generations of Americans who have selflessly answered the call to serve. The country appropriately honored them this month on Veterans Day.
In Lakewood, we combined the best of military and Washington culture to create an innovative solution to the sometimes-difficult transition from military to civilian life.
At RP/6, we ensure no service member, veteran or military family member's talent is left on the bench when their time in uniform is complete. We connect them with the best resources and opportunities to leverage their talent across the country.
In the final job of my 24-year military career, I was responsible for ensuring that soldiers and families transitioning out of the military landed successfully in civilian communities.
As my soldiers began considering a life off Joint Base Lewis-McChord, I listened to them, and consistently witnessed the overwhelming challenge of navigating what came next.
Should they use their Post-9/11 GI Bill to go back to school and get technical training or pursue a four-year degree? Should they apply for a position with some of the big name companies in Seattle? Should they accept a position from one of the many faraway recruiters pursuing people with security clearances?
When I left the Army, there was at least one question to which I already knew the answer: I would stay in Washington. In the Army, I flew helicopters, and few places were more inspiring to see from above than the Pacific Northwest. It sparks a drive to challenge yourself, to think outside of the possible and to make more out of what you have at hand.
I knew I wanted to be here, to build something for my soldiers and to do more to serve my community. Faced with the same questions as my soldiers, I approached them with a military mindset: develop a plan, devise tactics, execute and adjust as necessary. In a word: innovate.
The big idea became RP/6, a one-stop "rally point" for transitioning service members, veterans and families. Just as I counseled soldiers, the RP/6 staff work directly with veterans and family members to chart personal plans toward their goals, whether it's getting a job, attaining more education, connecting them with VA benefits or finding a place to live.
We have doggedly established relationships with those who want to be a part of our success. Community and business leaders from Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and other communities in the region have inspired us by showing up and being present for duty.
Like other innovators in Washington, we are constantly looking to improve our processes and be disruptive in how we approach the delivery of services to troops stepping into new roles as civic assets.
Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon and Starbucks are able to connect people globally because Washington fosters entrepreneurs and innovators. Now service members, veterans and families are able to connect with their communities because of RP/6 and our model of integration.
Together, we have proudly connected more than 11,000 people to community resources. Now, we are taking the innovation-forward culture of the Pacific Northwest and going national, hoping to lead the way for others connecting and serving veterans.
Anne Sprute is the founder and CEO of Lakewood-based RP/6. She retired from the Army as a chief warrant officer 4, lives in Lakewood and grew up in Richland. For more information about RP/6, call 253-777-0556 or go to rp6.org.

This week's contest: It's time to play the field again, as we ask you to "breed" any two of the horses on a list of those qualifying for this year's Triple Crown races, and tell us a good name for their foal, as in the examples above by Mike Hammer and Russell Beland. (The horse names appear at the bottom of this page.) As she did last year, the Empress has pared the list of almost 400 nominees to a workable 100, consisting of experts' "top contenders" (so there's a chance of actually seeing in the Kentucky Derby a horse whose name you used) and supplemented with promising names that we hope are unlikely to prompt entries too similar to previous years'. The actual sexes of the horses don't matter, which is a good thing, since they're almost all male. Like the names of the actual horses, the name of the foal must be no more than 18 characters, including any spaces. Send as many entries as you like (this week always brings out the obsessed), but the Empress advises you to put your best work at the top of your list; her lorgnette starts to slide down her nose after she's seen 50 mediocre entries and no good ones. Please double-space to avoid imperial wrath.
The winner receives the Inker, the official Style Invitational trophy. First runner-up gets a lovely little handbag consisting of a polished coconut shell, bisected and reattached with a zipper. A perfect accompaniment either to an inaugural ball gown or, Monty Python-style, to video of the Kentucky Derby.
Other runners-up win a coveted Style Invitational Loser T-shirt. Honorable mentions get one of the lusted-after Style Invitational Magnets. One prize per entrant per week. Send your entries by e- mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or, if you really have to, by fax to 202- 334-4312. Deadline is Monday, April 11. Put the week number in the subject line of your e-mail, or it risks being ignored as spam. Include your name, postal address and phone number with your entry. Contests are judged on the basis of humor and originality. All entries become the property of The Washington Post. Entries may be edited for taste or content. Results will be published May 1, the Sunday before the Derby. No purchase required for entry. Employees of The Washington Post, and their immediate relatives, are not eligible for prizes. Pseudonymous entries will be disqualified. The revised title for next week's contest is by Tom Witte of Montgomery Village.
Report from Week DC (we returned to Roman numerals for the occasion), in which we asked how Washington would be affected by the return of baseball. Dozens of you wittily posited that our town would heretofore be known as "first in war, first in peace, and last in the National League." Dozens more made plays on "Nats" vs. "Gnats," and predicted that left field would be much smaller than right field for the foreseeable future. Yeah, yeah. The funniest entry that didn't fit the contest was from Jeff Brechlin of Eagan, Minn.: Peter Angelos's kids will be forced to take an allowance cut. There were also a couple of inadvertently funny entries from foreign readers, who gamely sent in stuff about "baseball matches" and, along with innings, had players making "outings."
Special extra-contest note! As you'll see below, the winning entries for this contest are amusing but not classic. Surely there's another, better baseball contest still to be done. We have till October to do it, and you have eight days to come up with the idea for it. Send it in a separate e-mail with "Baseball contest idea" in the subject line; the best and most workable idea (good examples help make a persuasive case) wins a genuine bobblehead doll of the late Chuck Thompson, Voice of the Baltimore Orioles -- complete with audio -- donated by Elden Carnahan of Laurel.
{diam}Second runner-up: Not content with merely being weenies about snow, the area also gets a chance to shut down operations when it rains. (Brendan Beary, Great Mills)
{diam}First runner-up, winner of the 1920s photo taken outside the Washington American League Base Ball Club: Fans vote their favorite National onto the All-Star team. Unfortunately, he will not be allowed to play, but will merely sit in the dugout as a team delegate. (Mike Cisneros, Centreville)
{diam}And the winner of the Inker: The cherry blossoms will no longer be the only things in town that burst forth with great vigor in spring, immediately begin to fade, and in a few weeks are pretty much forgotten until next season. (Dudley Thompson, Raleigh)
{diam}Honorable Mentions:
When they're on the bench, the Supreme Court Nine take to chewing sunflower seeds, spitting tobacco juice and blowing balloon-size gum bubbles. During oral arguments, lawyers keep getting drilled by the righty, Scalia, who relies solely on breaking balls. (Chris Doyle, Forsyth, Mo.)
To boost ticket sales, school vouchers can now be exchanged for an evening at the ballpark for a family of four. (Rob Poole, Ellicott City)
Hillary Clinton can add the Nationals to the teams of which she is supposedly a lifelong fan. (Bird Waring, New York)
Speakers on the House floor will call timeout to step away from the microphone and adjust their crotches. The resulting FCC fines will force C-SPAN to go to a seven-second delay. (Pam Sweeney, Germantown)
Rasheeda Moore joins Nationals pitching staff in a setup role. (Mark Eckenwiler, Washington)
If during a lengthy filibuster a senator loses his or her voice, a pinch speaker may be employed. (Sanford D. Horn,
Freddy Adu will kick out the first baseball. (Chuck Smith, Woodbridge)
A bunch of overpaid egos will alternate between trying to stop their opponents from making any progress, and sitting around doing nothing while one or two of their number occasionally get up and attempt to make progress. But now, you have to pay to watch them do it. (Seth Brown, North Adams, Mass.)
Dan Snyder will get into a bidding war for Jason Giambi. (Bob Dalton, Arlington)
The 17-year "cicada cycle" will be supplemented with the 117- year "Nats championship cycle." (Ron Jackson, Chevy Chase)
In honor of the late, great manager of the Senators, the new team's concession stands will sell Ted Williams Popsicles. (Russell Beland, Springfield)
Once people get used to a team that sucks for 162 games a season, having one that sucks only 16 times a season won't seem so bad, right? (D. Snyder, Potomac) (Brendan Beary)

Summary View help for Summary
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) began its New Connections Program in 2005, motivated by the belief that high-quality research and evaluation that addresses the nation's health demands diverse perspectives. As of December 2011, New Connections has supported the career development of 100 grantees: junior researchers and mid-career professionals from historically disadvantaged and underrepresented communities. In addition, the program has provided overall support to a larger network of over 1,200 scholars from these same communities. This study comprises data from three surveys that were conducted as part of the evaluation of New Connections: the Grantee Process Survey, Grantee Network Survey, and Larger Network Survey.
The Grantee Process Survey interviewed New Connections grantees about their accomplishments and participation in professional activities, confidence in various abilities before and after they became grantees, satisfaction with support from New Connections, the extent to which New Connections improved their knowledge and skills, and the extent to which they agreed or disagreed that the program affected their ability to obtain their current position or made them more influential in their work settings.
The Grantee Network Survey questioned New Connections grantees about the persons from whom they would seek support, guidance, or information; expertise; work with; or communicate with about what they needed to be successful in their current positions and to advance in their careers (e.g., to get tenure, a promotion, or a leadership position).
The Larger Network Survey interviewed members of the larger network about their participation in New Connections activities, their interactions with New Connections grantees and the larger network, the extent to which the program improved their knowledge and skills, the extent to which they agreed or disagreed that New Connections affected their ability to obtain their current position, and their satisfaction with the program.
There is a separate data file for each survey. Together with the survey responses, all three files include information from the program's administrative records, such as the highest degree earned, institution type, field of work, race and Hispanic ethnicity, first generation college student status, and low income status. In addition, the Grantee Process Survey data file contains variables derived from the respondents' curriculum vitae that show the number of grantee presentations and publications before, during, and after the New Connection grants.

This collection contains articles the editors over the years have felt to be foundational and insightful in expanding understanding of concepts and issues.]
[Gore Vidal: American intelligentsia at its best. Cosmopolitan by birth, encyclopedic in knowledge, iconoclastic of temperament, his legacy spans many fields, from strict literature, to historical analysis, and politics. In his 80s, he remains unflagging in his pursuit of intellectual freedom, real democracy, and the defense of a just society. An inspiration to countless Left activists and thinkers in America and abroad.]
"Things as they are don't seem to me satisfactory….The world as it is, is unbearable." (Albert Camus, Caligula, act 1, scene IV)
"What is so bewildering is the conviction—and it is becoming more and more general—that in all the perils that confront us the direction of affairs is given over to a way of thinking that no longer has any understanding of itself. It is like being in a carriage, descending an increasingly precipitous slope, and suddenly realizing there is no coachman on the box." (The Russian diplomat- poet Fyodor Tyuchev (1803-1873) in a letter to his wife about the dangerous road ahead toward revolution)
(Rome) I am not an intellectual but as a writer I am part of the intelligentsia.
Not an intellectual! Intelligentsia? What is the difference?
Though many people are familiar with the word intelligentsia, many confuse it with intellectuals and might be surprised at my claim that I am not of the first but belong to the latter. That distinction is the subject of discussion here—the distinction between uncommitted (and often compromised) intellectuals and the socially committed intelligentsia. That difference is an accusation against the ambivalent situations of many intellectuals in the USA and Europe today. That difference can also clarify the positions of educated people in general in all of contemporary Western society.
Since intelligentsia comes to us from the Russian, in research for my recent essays, "Stalin, The Poet, And Life's Choices" and "The Return of the Proletariat," I studied the emergence of the intelligentsia in pre-revolutionary Russia and its contribution to the greatest revolution of our times. Most curious are its instructive analogies with and disconcerting divergences from the educated classes in the USA today. The Russian revolutionary example, like Russia itself, is not as distant and exotic as westerners might believe, the Russia that America has propagandized as just another despotic Eastern power.
We should recall that Russia is also the West. It is part of us.
For the great Dostoevsky, Russia is even a far better West, and a better Christendom, too.
At the outset it must be clear that the word, intellectual, does NOT reflect the significance of intelligentsia. Despite dictionary definitions, the two are not the same. For a starter, some intellectuals in our society belong to the intelligentsia. Many do not. For example, pure intellectuals with no pretensions of belonging to the radical intelligentsia occupy much of the powerful academic world. Therefore, to distinguish between the two one resorts to the transcription of the word from Russian, hopefully to express the true meaning of the latter. Nonetheless, the word intelligentsia too has been internationalized and its meaning at times degraded to banality.
Vladimir Lenin—the Intelligentsia in action. From theoretician to political leader. In pre-revolutionary Russia the intelligentsia did not mean a professional part of the population such as writers, academicians, philosophers, sociologists, academicians and educated people in general. Instead, it was a social group united by ideas: a similar political direction, philosophy and world outlook. Dostoevsky's novels are books of ideas, the ideas projected by the intelligentsia of his times. Historically, the word implies radicalism and a desire for drastic socio-political change, a particularly valid consideration for intellectuals in the USA.
The appeal of Marxism to the intelligentsia was and remains a natural process. Marxism contains not only the element of philosophical materialism but also a seductive dose of genuine existential philosophy, born from Marx's German idealism. Faith in the human will. Confidence in human activity in the revolutionary struggle of the classes. The idea that man can overcome the power (mostly hidden) of economic power relations over his life. A positive view of the future.
Chilean poet Pablo Neruda (left). A prominent example of the combative progressive Latin American intelligentsia.
Colombian (and honorary Cuban) author Gabriel Garcia-Marquez (right). His extraordinary work continues in the best traditions of intellectual engagement, blending art and politics seamlessly to conjure up a moral vision.
Hence, the most learned and educated people in society are most certainly NOT to be considered part of the intelligentsiaif they are conservative or reactionary. Examples of intellectuals who are not of the radical intelligentsia are numerous, for example the French intellectuals who at the peak of the Revolution morphed into counter-revolutionaries and fled back to the King and his Court rather than risk the perils of the Revolution of the people.
William F. Buckley (l) with Ronald Reagan. Buckley's inheritance of money and social connections allowed him to poison American politics and intellectual precincts for generations. A classical case of a non-intelligentsia figure.
William Kristol, influential member of the reactionary, professional "anti-communist" phalanx of US intellectuals and followers in the Buckley tradition of aggressive pseudo-intellectual combat on behalf of plutocratic agendas. The US media and publishing worlds have naturally rewarded him and his ilk with enormous fame, wealth and official honors.
Similarly, modern French intellectuals of the "ideology is dead" school such as Bernard Henri-Lévy and other so-called nouveaux philosophes, made careers debunking intellectual commitment, which is the role of the intelligentsia. After the overthrow of Communism in East Europe the typically facile message of the nouveaux philosophes was that one could no longer take socialist ideas seriously. Lévy said, oh so misguidedly, so maliciously: "When intellectuals let themselves believe in a community of men, they are never far away from barbarism."Not only reductive but no less than an apology for totalitarianism, of the natural, right wing kind.
The ultimate faux member of the intelligentsia: Bernard Henri-Levy (here with wife, actress Arielle Dombasle, lounging in their Marrakesh palazzo). To the uninitiated, Henri-Levy (BHL, as he's usually called in France) is a tangle of contradictions, an intellectual provocateur that fits no obvious category and is next to impossible to pin down. Not being an open apostate from the left, as is the case with Christopher Hitchens, a former Trotskyist who is now frequently found defending Bush's Iraq War, this multimillionaire Frenchman remains a peerless poseur, an irrepressible enfant terrible, and the template for any self-respecting pseudo-leftist. Watch for BHL on Charlie Rose, NPR and other US media who love to fawn on the man.
Lévy and his intellectual friends became opportunistic journalists. They found easy targets among French committed writers: Sartre had flirted with terrorists of the German Baader-Meinhof Gang and Debray trained in guerrilla warfare in Bolivia with Che Guevara. Jean Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Régis Debray and also André Gide, despite his flirts with Cold War anti-Communists, were the other side of the moon from the so-called philosophes.
For as always and everywhere post-commitment intellectuals like Lévy find themselves in the blind alley of having to try to justify social injustice. Under the guise of neo-liberal free marketers, conformists coolly affirm that rich countries have no responsibility for problems of the Third World—as if we didn't all belong to the same world. Given his impeccable credentials as a counter-revolutionary, it should come as no surprise that Henri-Lévy, thick central casting Hollywood French accent and all, is warmly received, some would say fawned upon in the most distinguished precincts of the American media establishment. Fortunately, many European and Latin American intellectuals have been political and progressive. By force of their commitment they are members of the intelligentsia striving to change the world: in France, Sartre and Camus, among many others.
In Latin America, besides Gabriel García Márquez (my journalistic model and master on the positive role of bias), the great writer Ernesto Sábato in Argentina who headed action against the military regime, and Pablo Neruda in Chile who joined the Socialist government of Salvador Allende, belong to the committed intelligentsia, as did the prototype of the man of action, Che Guevara, and certainly Fidel, whose role as a dedicated teacher of the masses, as Mao once saw himself, is also well established. (Presidents Chavez and Morales have followed the same route.)
To grasp the world of difference between the compromised artistic intellectual and the committed intelligentsia one only needs to compare their role in society with that of powerful, highly placed Jorge Luis Borges who instead supported the military regime in Argentina. Or with the neo-liberal Mario Vargas Llosa in Peru, wonderful writer, but considered by many a traitor to his original vocation.
Mario Vargas Llosa. Like Argentinean Borges, he has chosen to fight in literature and politics for regimes inimical to the vast majority of the people. Intellectuals, yes. Intelligentsia, no.
The bulk of America's academic specialists and economists and the entire rightwing intellectual establishment with its think tanks and foundations do NOT, cannot belong to the intelligentsia. It is misleading and false for members of neo-conservative circles to depict themselves as intelligentsia, as used here. For it is the reactionary intellectuals who write those ridiculous, stupid and mendacious political convention speeches and slogans (for a prime example, look up the role of Matthew Scully, Bush's ghostwriter and more recently Sarah Palin's RNC speech author) which members of the real intelligentsia find so unbearable. Reactionary intellectuals coin the euphemistic language marked by expressions such as "preponderant intervention", "preemptive war", "New World Order", "collateral damage", etc., and organize blasphemous functions like national prayer breakfasts, all of which makes the intelligentsia vomit in disgust.
Brilliant polemicist and literary agent provocateur, former Trotskyist Christopher Hitchens has pretty much abandoned the leftist project, but many of his positions (like Henri-Levy's) remain hard to classify. He's far too smart NOT to know the distinction between false socialism, as traditionally denounced by the right, and real socialism, so his desertion must cost him some sleepless nights, if his apostasy has not cost him his decency, as well.
Such "intellectuals" can never be intelligentsia. No matter how educated they are, no matter their impressive credentials in this or that field and recognition among their own kind, reactionaries are NOT of the intelligentsia, who instead strive for radical social change.
Obviously the distinction I began with is fundamental if we want to distinguish between educated people in the image-loving, reality show-driven, imitative, poseur society of the USA today and the intelligentsia of positive, forward-looking radical thinkers linked by ideas. For the most part the latter are linked by ideas simply because the impossibility of real and meaningful political action leads them to concentration on the development of ideas.
Underlying the intelligentsia's ideas however—fundamental in the USA today—lurks a revolutionary frame of mind. That mindset is based on an idea, a goal of social justice that though it still dangles out of reach, is a common and logical goal: to change the world.
For example, writers and journalists. Are they mere intellectuals as was Borges … or intelligentsia? According to the Russian Communist theorist Georgy Plekhanov, "the belief in art for art's sake arises when artists and people keenly interested in art are hopelessly out of harmony with their social environment." Art for art's sake is the attempt to instill ideal life in one who has no real life. Authoritarian systems rely on compromised writers to portray false images because they fear the truthful portrayal of reality. The compromised writer follows the victors. Conformity and opportunism go hand in hand. The road of the uncommitted intellectual is the middle. He avoids saying what he feels for fear of his place in society. He is aware that many people do not like being told the truth and he is willing to write what he is told people want to hear.
Compromise in journalism and literature leads straight to the banalities of writing—the terrible to-do about petty problems of ordinary existence or in its most degenerated form about the radiant futures of totalitarian societies. The headache of choosing a vacation destination or workers with shining eyes gazing toward the horizon of the future cannot be a substitute for themes like injustice and human suffering.
This is not however to suggest that culture predominates for there is no doubt that political-economic power calls the shots.
And capitalist Europe, America, Japan, etc., remain capitalist, imperialistic, greedy and avaricious.
The message carried by a common culture of social change contrasts with the message of economic gain and political power. Culture's message must be social, inquisitive, critical, often calling people to arms for resistance. In this sense, at certain times of societal evolution, literature can be more important than economics and politics, and more than religion too, for that matter.
I could have ended this essay here. The significant part has been said. Yet, since the goal I am speaking of is radical change I still must underline the analogy between the American and European intelligentsia and the pre-revolutionary atmosphere in Tsarist Russia.
Russia again? Another futile historical reflection? Another wasted "intellectual" retrospect?
I don't think so. Because America today stands on the threshold—maybe on the precipice—of an explosive situation in which the appearance of a new and broadened version of the proletariat now formed by wage earners and crossovers from the impoverished, zombie middle class points toward the inevitable emergence of a new political movement. That virgin movement needs new ideas. It badly needs ideas and guidance. For this objective, this goal, is no longer a theoretical political Ultima Thule; this is an Alamo for America.
The American intelligentsia represented by the editors of publications like the one you are now reading and by a growing number of like-minded persons still too few in the vast ignorance of real America. No wonder the American intelligentsia's oppressive feeling of isolation. As in pre-revolutionary Russia, also the radical American intelligentsia speaks of itself as "we" and of state authority as "they". No wonder its loneliness, as if living among people who no longer understand its language. No wonder the feeling of comradery among us. And no wonder the hint of a kind of monastic order about the American radical intelligentsia, its different life style and behavior and its ability to see through the gossamer manifestations of the capitalist society in which it lives. No wonder the radical's difficulties inside real society moving in the wrong direction. And no wonder the more sensitive uncommitted intellectual feels superfluous in the presence of the committed intelligentsia.
This is not to deny that the intelligentsia has its grave faults, inconsistencies, stupidities. The intelligentsia's outsider complex is in fact counter-productive and a-historical.
There is an elusive word that describes the situation and mood I have in mind. It's in a song. It's on the tip of my tongue. The word might describe who we are. I begin to recall. There is a Dominican song. Buscando…? Buscando visa para un sueño. Searching for a visa to a dream. A reason for being. Searching for a visa.
The intelligentsia in America desires that visa in order to arrive, and not remain excluded, isolated, lonely. It wants to participate, to be part of the main. Even if the main is on a false course toward the rocks and shipwreck. The intelligentsia instead lives as strangers in a foreign land. But its people hope to find the way back, for they miss America. That visa opens new horizons.
The chance reader only has to open his mind in order to see the real world with new eyes. To see that it is not a world to conquer militarily. It is a world to join. An entire world marked by humanness. As has been said before the intelligentsia cannot forget that sometimes it's necessary to steep oneself in the non-intelligence of the world. For unlike the intellectual class of educated specialists, the intelligentsia is formed by various social classes, not by castes nor a common social or economic status. As the Russian philosopher Nicolas Berdyaev remarked about the intelligentsia: "By definition it stands for a break with the classification of everything according to categories."
So now that we have defined it, praised it, and lamented its loneliness (and even inadequacies), what does all this mean for us? Intellectuals? Intelligentsia?
It comes down to a question of roles. The American intelligentsia asks, What is to be done? That same question was posed by the Russian intelligentsia in the suffocating society of 19th century Russia so reminiscent of today's America.
I keep returning to the Russian example because just as the intelligentsia in pre-revolutionary Russia set its stamp on the development of the idea of Socialism there (after all, making the greatest revolution of modern times!), we believe that when the propitious moment arrives, when what was inexpressible becomes expressible, when events have created a universal mood of revolutionary discontent with the existing system, when tensions reach the boiling point, the American intelligentsia, together with the American wage earners and the ever vaster, ever multiplying, ever angrier and, one hopes, awakened middle class, will rise against the capitalist system and salvage the positive parts of America and bring about radical change.
Change is a word that both the intelligentsia and intellectuals of America should be discussing together. What kind of change do they mean? Intellectuals mean one thing. Usually reform. The intelligentsia means another. Radical change. It's an unfortunate paradox that the intelligentsia doesn't always know what exactly to do with pure intelligence.
The change is not the change promised in electoral campaigns, not the change written on the little cards held in the hands of backers of one candidate or the other. The goal has to be the radical transformation of the entire society. (The idea of change right now is so potent that even the establishment's figureheads are brawling to own the "brand").
The American intelligentsia might keep in mind one comforting thought: of the world's major capitalist countries today perhaps only America is still economically self-contained and self-sufficient enough to support and survive the upheavals of a new social revolution.
The great historical contradiction however is that in no other country is real capitalism so strong and the positive idea of Socialism so weak as in the United States of America … which in turn has made Socialism so difficult to achieve elsewhere.
So the quandary for the American intelligentsia is: What is to be done? Or, What can be done? For to our great misfortune—even if the American intelligentsia-radical Left had the means to address the rising wage earner-middle class coalition—what message would it send to them, the new masses? A hard, brutal truth is that there is precious little to admire, little to address, in that growing class of the neo-proletariat marked by drabness and mediocrity, physical obese ugliness, monotony and mental laziness and cultivated ignorance and its anti-historical cult of non-memory, a class waiting almost obsessively to be entertained.
For example: Had American people gone crazy to even consider the theatrical vulgarity of the ridiculous candidacy of a redneck racist warmonger like Sarah Palin as Vice President and possible President of the USA, recalling Roman Emperor Caligula's mad idea of naming his favorite horse, Incitatus—or Galloper—as Consul of the empire? Has everyone gone mad?
As an American I am offended by the idea. Have Americans morphed into the peoples of ancient decadent Rome? Peoples who for distraction relied on the blood and sand of the arenas of the coliseums across the empire. Where are we to find a model of a political and cultural ideal that could appeal to such a trampled-on lot who have been expertly trained to despise anyone or anything different from them and their "values" and the "American-way-of-life"?
With the reality in mind that it is precisely that ragged, disinterested American proletariat-middle class that must execute the radical change, the American intelligentsia, just as in pre-revolutionary Russia, truly has just cause to wonder: What is to be done?
In the United States the official reaction to the "Communist threat" corrupted generations of Americans and was the justification of the advent of official amorality in a virgin America that still considered itself pristine. In the Cold War any subterfuge was licit. In the Cold War the lie was good. Four decades of the great lie of anti-Communism sufficed to generate a new morality in America. A morality of evil that filtered down into society. It has nothing to do with ideas or ideology; only power. It is a way of viewing the world, pursued and confirmed by a great slice of the country's intellectuals. A cold manner, amoral and immoral at the same time. This evil power is an American spirit, an evil spirit that has perhaps always lurked in America. For as we now know America was never innocent. At the best, only naive. Evil lurked in the Blue Ridge Mountains of my boyhood. Evil still lurks in fundamentalist America.
Yet at the same time the American nation has been duped, wants to be duped, by the great lie of the "Communist threat." The subsequent creation of terrorism and fear was the natural course of things.
Addendum: I confess that I'm not totally satisfied with the word intelligentsia. I welcome suggestions for a better word, a modern word that describes that dynamic but minute, unhappy, isolated and lonely part of American society today that so desires dramatic, drastic, radical, revolutionary change.
The Personal Manifesto of a member of the intelligentsia
• I am not objective, as true objectivity is a myth. Nor impartial, which is about the same. I have no desire to be unbiased. And God forbid that I ever become non-partisan—oh, that ugly hyphened word! Just that hyphen alone is enough to make me partisan.
• Traditionally journalists are supposed to be objective and impartial. But who said so? My answer is that I must be partial and subjective. For that matter, most journalists do the same anyway, though they disguise their partiality in nice little euphemisms.
• As the great Gabriel García Márquez taught his journalism students, above all you must learn to be partial. Forget rules about impartiality and reliance on facts laid down by the little men. Balls! Screw the reliance on facts. Those incontrovertible facts! An obsession with facts creates small-minded people. All our lives they hit us over the head with them. When someone says 'Let's get down to brass tacks' or 'the facts are', it's time to watch out. As if only things that happen or allegedly happen are worthwhile. Facts obscure the real truth. We read mountains of facts and believe we know what is happening but we still know nothing about the center of things, the core truths.
• No honest journalist-writer can allow himself to be unbiased and objective.
• Besides, impartial to what? To lies? To rampant hypocrisy? To swindles? As if we should be impartial to and have no opinion about the fictional facts that created wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, that pave the way to war against Iran, that crushed Serbia and created Kosovo (and now Ukraine), that lead to the ranting and raving—oh, those facts!—against Chávezism in Venezuela, that support lists of rogue nations and terrorist movements such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Should we be impartial to the men and institutions—like Wall Street and its minions deeply embedded in government, often indistinguishable from the political class—that have given us repeated recessions and depressions, gutted and mismanaged the American economy to fit their own agendas, created a reign of deepening economic and social inequality, and that now threaten to crown their high-handed thievery with a mugging of the US taxpayer to the tune of trillions of dollars?
Impartial to the new ethics of it's good to be bad, good to be greedy, good to be selfish, good to flaunt your wealth?
• It is surely a question of the chalk circle of the masses that Power cultivates. No one should step outside it. There is no need for genetic or biologic cloning,
As Baudrillard reminds us, the individual is already cloned culturally and mentally … by them. We feel it around us everyday just living in our society. Power wants more of it; the cloned man is easy to control.
The individual is something else.
We do not reject the idea of the whole individual that cannot be further divided. Yet we too want to be similar to our fellow humans, a social animal, but, still different, more than a reduced size copy of other humans. Individuality? Yes, but not at the cost of elimination of others.
Viva bias!

I'm an old Indy fan from way back, and I always gave the movies a free-ride because after all: divine wrath melting Nazi faces is not scientifically accurate. But while I did enjoy the roller-coaster that is Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it's got some science blunder doozies. (Spoilers below the fold)
The crystal skull is magnetic. Oh, not your everday garden variety magnetism. It's strong enough to attract gunpowder to itself. Yes, gunpowder. You know, the stuff made of charcoal, salt peter and sulfur. Apparently it's paramagnetic. What the heck..? Gunpowder is not paramagnetic. Gunpowder in the presence of a strong magnetic field… does nothing.
Next, Indy uses buckshot to narrow down the location. Unless the Soviets used some sort of iron-based buckshot, I'll assume it's lead. Small problem: it's diamagnetic. That means lead is not only not magnetic, it's slightly repelled by magnetic fields.
When they finally dig out the box, the magnetic field seems to have very odd strengths. It's strong enough to pull on dog tags and Kalashnikov's, but yet not so strong that it pins people by their belt buckles.
Then it gets funny. Later, we see the skull can attract gold coins. Guess what, kids? Gold is also diamagnetic. And what's funny is that the screen writer specifically gives a line to Shia LeBeouf stating that gold is not magnetic. So the take home message is: the skulls attract metals, but in an arbitrary way, and everyone calls it magnetism.
Flora and Fauna
Beware of learning about biology from movies. The first one was scorpions: apparently the big scorpions aren't dangerous. I can't find any specific rule of thumb, but most scorpions aren't deadly. Their sting is compared to a bee string, but some like the bark scorpion, have very strong stings that won't kill a healthy adult. See this wikipedia article for more details.
There are some vicious army ants in South America, but not anything like in this movie. They're huge! We're talking the size of your whole thumb. And apparently, they will sting you and drag you into their hive (presumably for laster feasting). If you believe such ants exist, I've got a rock to sell you that will protect you from them.
A commenter said the movie identified the ants as siafu. An ant native to Africa and ranges to tropical Asia. Definitely not South America. They can bite and sting, but they prefer to attack, not eat, people.
How to Survive an Atomic Blast
Indy is escaping from the Commies, and stumbles across an idyllic community in the middle of the desert. He calls for help only to discover a) it's a fake community with dummies, and b) a nuclear test is about to go off in 1 minute. How does Indy survive? By hiding inside a lead-lined refrigerator. The blast occurs and the mannequins melt, the houses are blown off their foundations and shrapnel everywhere. And Indy? His fridge is thrown clear of the house and he stumbles out and looks up at the huge mushroom cloud.
Where do I begin…?
Reference: Effects of Nuclear Explosions
Overall, it's a fun movie, but it was really hard to ignore this reality problems which impaired my ability to enjoy this film. I can suspend disbelief like the rest (Hell, I enjoy Star Wars!), but this was a little too much.

DVD Review: Boston Legal season 3.
Boston Legal Season Three
Fox Home Entertainment
DENNY CRANE!!! I love Denny Crane. I also love everyone else on this show. David Kelly is either a direct hit or a major miss with me, and with Boston Legal he's definitely hit this one out of the park. He manages to create a show that is funny, sarcastic, political and dramatic. It's not overtly deep drama, just enough to keep you watching, so it doesn't get bogged down like some night time soaps do (ER, NYPD Blue) It's just damn good entertainment.
This season has great guest stars including a wonderful performance from Delta Burke, who is normally not a favorite of mine, though here she shined. We also see some cast additions which work well for the show. My favorite is the on again off again romance Denny has with a dwarf. Continuing plot lines add to the shows depth, but you can definitely enjoy each episode on it's own as well. This season has it all, marriage, romance, babies, men in drag. And as always the end of each episode with Spader and Shatner is always my favorite.
What do I want more of on TV? DENNY CRANE!!!!

Maplewood music teacher named a finalist for Teacher of the Year
Weaver Elementary School music teacher Shaylee McComb is a finalist for the 2018 Minnesota Teacher of the Year award.
Earlier this year, McComb stood out to judges from a pool of 167 candidates and was chosen as one of 43 semi-finalists. Then, on April 5, it was announced that she is now one of 12 finalists.
The Teacher of the Year award is presented by Education Minnesota, the state's teachers' union, and candidates for the award include pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade and Adult Basic Education teachers from public and private schools across the state.
A panel of community leaders will meet May 5 to interview each of the 12 finalists and to cast votes for this year's winner, who will be announced May 6.
Surrounded by support
"Shaylee is an amazing music teacher," says Weaver Principal Pangjua Xiong, adding, "She has phenomenal skills in bringing out the best in every student."
McComb holds a bachelor's degree in music education from the University of Northwestern in St. Paul and a master's degree in education in differentiated instruction from Concordia University in St. Paul. She has been the music teacher for Weaver Elementary School students in kindergarten through fifth-grade since August 2012.
McComb says part of her always knew she was going to be a teacher because "being a teacher is kind of in my DNA."
Her father is a physical education and health teacher who also spends a lot of time coaching, and her mother is an elementary school music teacher, too. Still, McComb remembers her moment of true inspiration as the time when, as a college sophomore, she observed Jody McCormick, Weaver's former music teacher.
"I set foot in her music room and never wanted to leave," McComb says. "Long story short — the Lord blessed me, and I am teaching music at the very same Weaver Elementary School where I fell in love with teaching music for the 'little people.' It is my actual dream job."
McComb says that over the years, she has had many mentors — teachers, coaches, staff, principals and professors who have "spoken truth, invested time, modeled life and poured love" into her — but her high school choir director, Melissa Hanson, is one whose impact really stands out in McComb's mind.
McComb says Hanson believed in her and provided her with leadership opportunities, and McComb remembers Hanson regularly going above and beyond for her students.
"Ms. Hanson made choir and musical rehearsals the most magical part of my day," McComb says. "She made music like oxygen for me and I always wanted more of it. Music fed her soul and brought her real joy, and I wanted that life."
Going above and beyond
"Shaylee is an energetic force within the community," Xoing says. "Her positive and cheerful attitude with students, families and staff make the whole school community a happier place."
McComb says her favorite part of her job is watching her students connect with music. She says she has seen students close their eyes and sing like no one is watching, sing with tears rolling down their eyes during a Veterans Day performance and feel successful after taking musical risks like auditioning or performing a solo.
The need for teachers to always do more is what McComb feels is the hardest part of the job. She explains that teachers help students learn kindness, responsibility, safety and coping strategies, in addition to teaching school subjects.
Many teachers also buy students school supplies and winter cloths, slip food into backpacks, ensure students have rides home, help with homework and advocate for their students.
"We do all that and more with sometimes ridiculously large class sizes," McComb says. "We overcome those challenges because we believe that what we do is powerful, and we love our students."
According to a self-written Teacher of the Year profile, McComb believes that in order to do her job effectively, she must truly get to know the students. She said that it is important to her to show her students that she cares about who they are, what they believe, how they are feeling and what their goals are.
Her profile adds that she makes sure to memorize and pronounce correctly the names of the 550 students she works with, and researches on her own time to better understand the various cultures and religious backgrounds of those students.
"She strives to learn about every student and to build on the strengths of students," Xoing says. "Every student at Weaver is able to perform at least once a year because of Shaylee's commitment to making sure that students have opportunities to shine."
In addition to building relationships with her students, McComb also builds relationships with their families and attends special events for her students when she's invited.
Said McComb, "I want the climate and culture of our music room to be a safe place to create, perform, play, dance, sing, move and experience joy. Without kindness we cannot have that environment. This world needs more of it!"

One Man's Noble Quest to Get 450 Horsepower Out of His Jaguar XJR
There have been many a noble quest undertaken in the name of horsepower before, but few have been quite so honorable as jackra_1's quixotic dream.
We know of jackra's quest thanks to the big dreams of another Jaguar Forums member, viper1996, who started a thread entitled "Quest For 450 Horsepower," wondering what it would take to achieve such a number.
That's the beginning of a six-page saga, which immediately showed us that viper1996 isn't the only person to go questing for more horsepower in his XJR. Jackra_1 quickly responded that he had already done a significant amount of work to his 2005 XJR (shown below).
Jackra_1 detailed all the work he'd done at that point, including modifying a used supercharger, getting the "porting done and a 2.6 pulley on the snout," cleaning "the gunk from the charge coolers and the throttle body and the elbow," and adding "an in line IC radiator with 2 6″ fans as well as an upgraded IC pump."
Still, jackra_1 didn't feel like he got much power out of all that. And he was rightly disappointed.
Well, now his fellow XJR enthusiasts, including viper1996, are helping him figure out how exactly to remedy that. A couple months and five thread pages later, and we've progressed to the point where jackra has found a tuner for the older model and is getting an upgraded cat from the U.K.
Hopefully, both jackra_1 and viper1996 will fulfill their quests soon enough. In the meantime, we'll be following along eagerly. Will you?
