Cognitive tests don't differentiate between Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, study finds
Researchers at the University of Adelaide compared the accuracy of 118 diagnostic tests to determine which, if any, were best at characterizing Alzheimer's disease from vascular dementia. The tests were performed in 81 previous studies involving more than 7,000 seniors with dementia. Only two—Delayed Story Recall and the Emotional Recognition Task—showed any ability to distinguish between either group.
Though cognitive tests can certainly help diagnose dementia, accurately identifying a patient's specific type of dementia is key to effectively treating that condition, report authors say. Doctors should combine such tests with brain scans, medical histories and other tools, researchers suggest. The report appears in the July issue of the journal Neuropsychology.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Start with a sapphire crystal and 2 health pots and just last hit the minions with Dis until your stun in charged(useful for stopping ganks or to gank) and hold it until either you need to make your escape or your teammates are ready. At 6 when your stun is charged hit the squishier guy with tibbers incinerate molten shield disintegrate and ignite as quick as possible make sure u alt+click on your target for tibbers to focus on that guy with only a sapphire crystal this should be able to kill almost every champion at lvl 6 ghost and hit with disintegrate to finish off.
Mid game: Your going to want to get golem buff and when your tank initiates attempt to hit their dps' with either incinerate or tibbers attempt to stun at least 2 of them to get the advantage at this point your should be able to hit 1/2 to 3/4s their life with just those 2 spells disintegrate and ignite for an easy kill and either let your teammates finish off or get your stun up with molten shield and get another quick kill
End game: This is pretty much the same as mid game by know you should have 20 stacks on your soulstealer and should be over 700 AP if done right. If possible 1v1 squishy champs is ideal for you dropping over 2000 damage in 4 skills is possible having tibbers focus can increase this to over 2500. Remember your zhonya's for team fights because you should be targeted first while ur skills are on at least a 1.5 second cooldown might as well pop this and give your team 2 seconds of no one being attacked.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels and reserve the drippings in the skillet. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic and jalapenos to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, scoop the flesh out of the center of the tomatoes and chop, reserving the shells. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and stir in the oregano. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and heat the broiler.
Put the bread slices in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top each slice of bread with a tomato half. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the tomato halves. Top the tomatoes with the bacon and cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

Is Marissa Mayer making Yahoo a media empire
Four editors were deep in debate at Yahoo Food's offices in Manhattan: Would Yahoo visitors click on a feature about foods of the ancient Silk Road, or would they prefer a guide to cheese fries and other snacks that go well with ranch dressing for the Final Four basketball game
Rachel Tepper, the resident history buff, said people would be interested in how wheat and millet spread throughout the world millenniums ago. Julia Bainbridge, who joined Yahoo Food last year from Bon Appétit, had her doubts. "I don't see our readers clicking on, 'What's the deal with the Silk Road?' "she said.
Such choices — ranch dressing versus food history — are the stuff on which Yahoo's future now depends.
The Internet pioneer still attracts a huge audience, but advertising, its prime source of revenue, is steadily declining. Marissa Mayer, the chief executive, has decided that one way to reverse that decline is to turn the company into a media empire with a constellation of what it calls digital magazines on topics like food, technology, movies and travel.
Ms. Mayer says that she wants to make Yahoo a "daily habit" for its 800 million users. But she doesn't want people to come to Yahoo just to read email, post photographs on Flickr or get the latest sports scores. She also wants Yahoo to be a place where they curl up and spend some time, whether they are into haute couture, the latest gadgets or tabloid gossip.
And curling up right beside them would be the advertisers.
Built using technology acquired last year as part of the company's $1.1 billion purchase of Tumblr, the new publications combine original articles and material licensed from other sites, as well as big photos and videos into an endless page of tiles aimed at enticing people to linger. Mixed into that stream is a different kind of advertising — so-called native ads or sponsored posts — which look almost exactly like all the other articles and videos on the page except that they are sponsored by brands like Knorr, Best Buy and Ford Motor. These ads, Yahoo hopes, will attract the attention of more readers and make more money for the company.
In some cases, Yahoo editors even help to write that advertising — a blurring of the traditional lines between journalists and the moneymaking side of the business.
"We think that digital magazines can be a great advance, creating a different category of content consumption," Ms. Mayer said in an interview a few months ago at the company's headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif. "You can layer in video. You can change the content. You can bring in the social aspect. You can tell someone, 'Oh, by the way, your friend also read this article and thought it was interesting.' "
Ms. Mayer has spent millions of dollars on this push, much of it to recruit celebrity talent. The newest magazine, Yahoo Beauty, which went online on Monday, is edited by Bobbi Brown, founder of the cosmetics line that bears her name. The company has also snagged big names like Joe Zee, formerly creative director of Elle, and David Pogue, a best-selling author of personal technology books and a former columnist for The New York Times....

Table 40 Data Declaration
Arrests, Females, by Age, 2010
The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
General comments
- This table provides the number of females arrested nationwide in 2010. These data are broken down by age of the arrestee and include the percent distribution of arrests by offense type.
- These data represent the number of females arrested; however, some persons may be arrested more than once during a year. Therefore, the statistics in this table could, in some cases, represent multiple arrests of the same female.
The data used in creating this table were from all law enforcement agencies submitting 12 months of arrest data for 2010.
Population estimation
For the 2010 population estimates used in this table, the FBI computed individual rates of growth from one year to the next for every city/town and county using 2000 decennial population counts and 2001 through 2009 population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each agency's rates of growth were averaged; that average was then applied and added to its 2009 Census population estimate to derive the agency's 2010 population estimate.

Today being April Fool's Day a fellow speaker listed today as his birthday as a prank to pull on Facebook to see who would wish him a happy birthday and who really knew it was in a different month. For the last couple of years this has been a funny joke to John. As one person in the know best put it, "In a society that is a bowl of Cheerios, John you are a Froot Loop!"
Sadly, John passed away in December and his Facebook page is still up. Those who have him as a Facebook friend but not a real life friend are leaving cheerful birthday wishes which is unfortunate since they didn't realize he is no longer with us. Yea, I found it sorta creepy, like actually being there at Weekend at Bernie's and knowing what is going on. Continue reading

Aussie Book Review: The Other Side of the World by Stephanie Bishop
"Cambridge, 1963.
Charlotte is struggling. With motherhood, with the changes marriage and parenthood bring, with losing the time and the energy to paint. Her husband, Henry, wants things to be as they were and can't face the thought of another English winter.
A brochure slipped through the letterbox slot brings him the answer: 'Australia brings out the best in you'.
Despite wanting to stay in the place that she knows, Charlotte is too worn out to fight. Before she has a chance to realise what it will mean, she is travelling to the other side of the world. Arriving in Perth, the southern sun shines a harsh light on both Henry and Charlotte and slowly reveals that their new life is not the answer either was hoping for. Charlotte is left wondering if there is anywhere she belongs and how far she'll go to find her way home . . ."
It's been a number of weeks since I finished this novel and I still find myself stumbling over my thoughts and having difficulty formulating a review. It's a book that I thought would be an easy read and I was so looking forward to cracking open the stunning cover, thinking that I had finally found a story that I could relate to on an even more personal level with the subject of being an immigrant at its core.
It's so much more than that though because I found myself face-to-face with possibly one of the most complex characters I have ever come across and one whom I came to dislike intensely.
As most of you that read my reviews know, character is one of the most important elements of fiction to me and, although I did find common ground between myself and Charlotte in terms of nostalgia, the sheer plethora of emotion that an immigrant experiences as well as the depression from which she quite obviously suffers (particularly in the first half of the book), during the second half I just found her to be rather ungrateful and whiny as she constantly wallowed in self-pity. I also just couldn't comprehend the way she felt about her children and the manner in which she treated them. Don't get me wrong, speaking from experience, immigration is by no means a walk in the park and I understand that everyone navigates it in a different manner, with some unable to settle in a new land, but at the end of the day it's what we make of it.
Perhaps this was Stephanie Bishop's aim all along when she created Charlotte, but it was for these reasons and the fact that the depths of her despair became so loud that I found myself unable to fully connect with her. Despite these misgivings and the fact that Charlotte made me uncomfortable (or perhaps because of it?), I was already hooked by the writing.
Inspired by her grandparents own story and almost veering into psychological suspense territory as she explores themes of the fragility of relationships, depression, displacement and identity, Stephanie's writing is eloquent, her sense of place very retro and strong, her style evocative and it was these things that drew me into this melancholy novel set in 1960's England and Australia. I only wish the ending hadn't been so ambiguous!
I wish to thank the publisher, Hachette Books Australia, for providing me with a hard copy for review.
About the Author
A stunning emerging Australian writer, Stephanie Bishop's first novel was The Singing, for which she was named one of the Sydney Morning Herald's Best Young Australian Novelists.

Stephanie's fiction and poetry have appeared in Southerly, Overland and Island and she is a frequent contributor to The Times Literary Supplement, The Australian, The Sydney Review of Books, The Australian Book Review and the Sydney Morning Herald.
She is a recipient of an Australia Council New Work Grant, and Asialink Fellowship, and Australian Society of Authors Mentorship, a Varuna Mentorship Fellowship and Varuna Residency Fellowship.
She holds a PhD from Cambridge and is currently a lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of New South Wales.
Stephanie is currently at work on two new projects - a third novel and a collection of essays.
She lives in Sydney.

04 Blockchain: a Foray into the Chain of Blocks
Over time, we have experienced human innovations that change the way we exist. They are so remarkable that, most times, we can clearly identify them and also agree, across cultural boundaries, that they are significant. A notable few can be summarised as follows.
In the 1400's, the printing press saw a change in the distribution of knowledge. This knowledge changed hands from a privilege of the wealthy and entitled to everyone. It was the beginning of the revolution of thought.
The 1800's was witness to a shift from manual labour, slave labour and a dependency on man power. The internal combustion engine represented the beginning of innovation in transport, manufacture and the way business was done in general.
The 1900's; Well, The internet changed everything! But importantly, it reduced the distance between each other. It brought us closer together, and among its many benefits it fostered immediate communication and the global village was born.
The 2000's ushered in the remarkable piece of work undertaken by Satoshi Nakamoto which addressed the double spending problem and an implementation of blockchain made its way into the world. The next wave of human evolution begins with a fundamental shift in the way we trust each other – blockchain – and its many implications. Blockchain offers the promise of no longer having to rely on faith (or a legal contract) and a gentleman's handshake to provide security for our transactions. This technology now provides us the opportunity to empirically prove ownership and trace transactions in a trustworthy manner.
Leading on, no blockchain topic would be complete without the obligatory explanation of how blockchain works at a high-level. I say high-level because the intricacies of how things like consensus algorithms work, how they address Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), how nodes 'speak' to each other, what the purpose of a nonce is, etc. will come later in my journey.
Ideally, I would like to take the 'this is how we create something' approach but that wouldn't be much of a journey and some of the boring stuff is actually needed to build a foundation we can work on.
So, here we go.
One of the fundamental concepts when talking about blockchain is that of a distributed ledger (more on that later). The terms distributed and decentralised are often used interchangeably and thought to apply to the same thing – I assure you they are not the same.
The difference is probably best described by the image below.
As you can see, centralised is, as the name implies, where a single node controls the entire network. A failure at this node would incapacitate the entire network.
In a decentralised network, there is a greater degree of redundancy and fault tolerance however, faults at critical nodes would cripple substantial parts of the network and, potentially, orphan nodes.
Blockchain's resilience comes from the underlying implementation of a distributed architecture. In this topology, a node is able to operate as a discrete unit. Each node has it's own copy of the ledger and is not dependant on any other node(s) on the network. A failure at a node would only affect that node and no other portion of the network.
We now have an abstracted understanding of the topology of the network – great. In this post, I've mentioned this thing called a (distributed) ledger. Lets dig into that a little.
A ledger is defined as "…a permanent summary of all amounts entered in supporting journals which list individual transactions…"
And that's the same as a blockchain ledger:
Assume we have a deposit of $100 , this is recorded in our ledger and looks like this
We then continue to append more transactions
Eventually, our ledger look like this
In a blockchain implementation (usually after an amount of time), all these transactions are grouped together into a block and the transactions are 'hashed'. Think of a hash as a fingerprint that uniquely identifies some data. Any change in the data (no matter how small) will dramatically affect what the hash looks like. So our hash uniquely identifies our block of transaction any may look like this
That hash then becomes an entry in the next block of transactions and this value is taken into account when generating a hash for that block. To understand this better, take a look at the illustration below.
This process continues on with each blocks hash becoming the 'seed' for the next block and we end up with something looking like this
We end up with a chain of blocks – hence the term 'block-chain'.
You may be wondering what the point of this is. Well, lets take a look:
Imagine, if we tried altering a transaction somewhere within our chain
The hash for that block, now, would not match the original hash for that block. Further, because that hash is used as the seed for subsequent blocks, none of the subsequent blocks would be correct.
If a transaction was to be altered, not only would that blocks hash need to be altered but, also, every subsequent block.
Computationally, that's a very difficult task.
However, that's not all that lends immutability to a blockchain. Not only would you have to alter every block on that ledger, you would need to alter that ledger on every node in the network.
This is the incorruptible aspect of blockchain and this is what gives us certainty that what we see is really what transpired. Furthermore, the details of these transactions (in a public, unpermissioned, blockchain implementation) are transparent.
We've now established what a block is, how they are chained together and why blockchain lends itself to immutability, incorruptibility and resiliency.
We know we can't alter transactions already committed to the chain but, at this point it would be logical to question the validity of transactions appended to the blockchain. If any node can add transactions, how do we validate and verify that the transactions SHOULD be added to the chain. This is where consensus comes into play and there are a few different ways to reach this consensus. I'll discuss some of these in my next post.

How to Keep Cockroaches Out of the House
Keeping cockroaches out of the house requires and integrated approach to pest management. The first and most important thing you need to do is get rid of all food sources.
How to Kill German Roaches
German roaches are quite possibly the nastiest roaches that you could have in your home. Their gestation period is relatively short and they seem to duplicate themselves at an alarming rate.
Unlike other roaches, they actually carry their egg sacks on their backs and keep them very well protected. German roaches love to live in small areas but their colonies are very big.
How to Repel Roaches
If you live here in Florida, you know that there is the potential for having to deal with many different types of pests. Roaches are one of them. Cockroaches are nasty little critters that can actually carry disease so you definitely don't want them in your house.
If you are seeing roaches in or even around your home, you can learn how to repel them
How to Get Rid of Roaches
There are dozens of different types of roaches worldwide and around the country but only some of them are the types that you are likely to have trouble with in your home.
German roaches, American roaches, brown roaches and Asian roaches are some of the more common roaches that you might find yourself having to battle. All of these different types of roaches can be eradicated in basically the same way.

The purpose of this department is to coordinate the Commission's redress mechanisms for established human rights violations. It is empowered to do this by Section 8(d) of the KNCHR Act 2011, and also by the general enabling provisions of Section 8(i) and (j) of the Act.
The redress mechanisms adopted by the Commission in this regard include:
Human Rights Litigation
Coordinating the Commission's Public Inquiries on specific human rights themes and;
Conducting Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in appropriate circumstances.
In addition, the Redress department undertakes Legal Services for the Commission, such as providing general legal counsel, drawing of contracts and handling court matters on behalf of the Commission to ensure it meets its objectives as an efficient and effective institution.
KNCHR Conducts litigation in appropriate cases involving the interpretation of the Bill of Rights. The Commission takes up cases that are either of broad public interest or that would have a significant impact on the legal discourse of human rights in Kenya. The case should also have a strategic goal such as setting up legal precedents, highlight a discriminatory position in the law or one that would lend weight to legal reforms. In this regard, the Commission participates in Public Interest Litigation either as amicus curiae(friend of court) or as a Petitioner under article 22 of the Constitution.

DANIA — Smoke detectors now are required in all private and rental residences in Dania, the third Broward County city to require the devices.
Although Fire Marshal John Roberson cannot check to see if single-family homes or condomimiums comply, he warns law breakers will be the losers.
``Smoke detectors will save your life,`` he said. ``They won`t save your house. You can always build a new house, but you`ve got to get out first.``
Approved by Dania commissioners last week, the measure sets a maximum penalty of $250 for failure to install a detector. No one has been fined yet, Roberson said.
``To the average citizen we still cannot go into his castle,`` Roberson said. Enforcement of the law depends on a police officer or firefighter having reason to enter a private residence, he said.
``God forbid we have an emergency, an illness or a fire, and notice they do not have a smoke detector. Then they can be cited with a notice to appear in court,`` he said.
Dania patterned its ordinance after Hallandale`s. When passed in 1983, the Hallandale measure was called one of the toughest smoke-detector laws in the state by Hallandale`s Fire Chief Edward Proli.
Hollywood was the first city to pass a smoke-detector law in 1979. Fort Lauderdale and Broward County are pursuing passage of similar laws.

If Freedom Watch goes TV, how will you protect the format?
A lot of Online-to-MSM/Corporate Media shows become "altered" so much by the Corporate Execs that they loose the spirit of what the show was originally about!39 votes
Would a Libertarian Pres. really be able to change things?
I believe the rise of Independents (like myself) is due to the fact that I don't see much difference between Reps and Dems. What could a Libertarian Prez REALLY do with Dems and Reps the majority in Congress?? Of course, the first thing this would do is to send a message.28 votes

What can be done with any findings if we "Audit the Fed"?
In other words, let's say we find evidence of "criminal" activity as part of Rep. Paul's "Audit the Fed" resolution. What can be done with such findings? Can the people who run the Fed be held criminally liable in the case that evidence of a financial crime is found? What action will come out of such an audit?15 votes
Michael Maresco's Cross-Country Journey
Michael, what local officials are you primarily trying to reach with your cross-country effort? Please discuss the books you are handing out by Sheriff Richard Mack and Dr. Edwin Vieira, and what your goal is for disseminating this information.13 votes
Will Wayne Root Run Against Harry Reid?
Mr. Root, I saw you speak at the 2008 Conservative Leadership Conference and you implied that you might run against Senator Reid. Is that idea still on the table, and if so, what platform would you follow?12 votes

Will the DOW Jones average meet the price of gold again?
Question for Ron Paul: Twice in history, the DOW jones average has met the price of an ounce of gold. Do you think this can happen again, and if so, where will the meeting point be?6 votes
Should Washington be fixed or should we talk secession?
We've heard for generations how Washington is broken and how the latest white knight is going to come in to fix it. This is insanity, doing the same thing over and over generation after generation and expecting a different result. Is it not time to walk away from this experiment and break up into smaller confederations of states that share similar values to one another?6 votes
What can we do to protect the integrity of a Fed Rsrv Audit?
If 1207 does pass, what legal tools do we have at our disposal in order to ensure a legitimate audit of the federal reserve? Elizabeth Warren has openly stated that she STILL does not know where the first $350 Billion of TARP funds has gone. This is a Mafia operation, and if we do get 1207 passed, we have to make sure that the audit isn't a scam. Either they show us the books, or they burn them, but we can't allow them to manipulate the audit so that it appears "clean" when in fact it isn't. We all know that they will never let us see the books, so we need to make sure that their cover-up is exposed for what it is. Nixon didn't get away with burning his WH tapes and neither should the Fed.

should we not hold our States accountable?
As The President moves foreword with the occupation in the Middle East, are the individual States not Derelict in their duty to uphold Constitutional Law by refusing to allow the Federal Government to deploy their National Guardsman in an illegal war? The last I checked the U.S. Constitution does not allow the Executive Office to disobey State and Congressional orders through NATO Resolutions. Can we as citizens, sue our individual States, not for monetary gain, but to force the return of our National Guard Units?5 votes
Why is the gold standard important?
Ron Paul: Please explain why you believe a renewal of the gold standard is important, and how hard would this be to accomplish legislatively?5 votes
How do we counter act the racist stigma on Liberty movement?
I've been really upset by the labeling of the participants in the 4/15/09 Tea Party rallies as "racist" and "right wing radicals." My experience was nothing like that, how do we counter act the Neo-Socialist's propaganda machine? (besides emailing fox to put freedom watch on the air).5 votes

Can you comment on Lindsey Williams?
and his book the Energy NON crysis? i have seen two video by this guy poping up a lot lately and he makes some serious claims about the northern Alaskan shelf and the vast oil resources there. This gentlemen has also made some serious predictions in the past based on his contacts that, from what i can gather, always come true.3 votes

Why won't you have someone from the RLC on?
The Republican Liberty Caucus is working hard to push the Republican Party in the direction of liberty and smaller government. Their agenda ought to be the reform platform of the GOP. They're growing fast nationwide. Wouldn't it be a good idea to feature someone from the group on the show, like Aaron Biterman or RLC Chairman Dave Nalle?3 votes
Why is Obama using taxpayer dollars to fund Bilderberg?
Recently several key Obama officials were sent to represent the White House at the secret Bilderberg conference. Is it even legal for taxpayers to foot the bill for this, and should we not expect the transcripts of the meetings to be available to the public if taxpayer dollars were used to fund this event?3 votes
Ron Paul's Debt Forgiveness Bill
For Ron Paul: If your debt forgiveness bill passes making forgiven debt untaxable, is there any chance of making it retroactive to 2008? I am being taxed on twice the amount of my real income because I couldn't sell my home at a break even price. I've never owed so much money in taxes and it will take me years to pay it off.3 votes
- Don't see your idea?

In addition to the SK projects, Abe has built and still owns or has a controlling interest in 1,500 residential rental units throughout the New York metropolitan area. The apartment complexes are subsidized under the federal government's Section-8 Program and have long-term rental contracts. He has also built and sold over 1,000 single-family homes in Staten Island and Queens.

Turning Houses into Homes
In my November "… from the Rector's Desk" I reflected on our new Diocesan Focus on equipping and supporting family life in our church and society. One of the important questions is what Scriptural resources do we have to draw on as we walk this new journey? It is important that our faith interacts with our daily experience if we are to offer ourselves and the world something that has substance and creates renewed relational abundance.
I recently picked up a copy of The People's Bible Commentary on GENESIS written by the Professor in the School of Theology at the University of Natal, Gerald West. This is a most marvellous book: normally Commentaries are rather intimidating and dry, but this one is a very different animal! It is written as a collection of daily readings, with a brief prayer attached, in language that everyday Christians can deal with, while retaining a very high standard of scholarship. Gerry was my Teen Church teacher some twenty-six years ago, so for me it's a bit like dialoguing with an old friend!
What particularly caught my eye was the author's comment in the introduction: "… Genesis does deal with cosmic matters, but on the whole it is about family matters. Most of the stories are about a family, although this family has had to bear the heavy weight of theological and ideological baggage. They can and do, therefore, speak to each one of us about ordinary but important matters, such as the fear of being unable to have children, the responsibilities of having children, the tensions within family; they speak about jealousy, envy, lust, love, forgiveness and trust; they speak about leadership; and they speak about God's presence and absence in human life" (page 17).
Gerry comments that Genesis frames our reading of the whole Bible, covering as it does everything from a difficult to determine Israelite ancestral period right through to the shift from Persian rule to Hellenistic colonial control of Judah a couple of centuries before the birth of Christ (pages 13,17).
I am using this Commentary for my Advent reading, and am finding it really useful. It is available on http://www.loot.co.za/ for a frugal R156, and will prove worthwhile reading for the New Year.
Children and Teen Education
Critical to our parish family life is our Sunday Children and Teens worship and classes. Olga Nel – who has done and outstanding job for a number of years – has resigned as our Children's Church Coordinator due to changes in her family and work life. Belinda Holden, who has been the mainstay of our Teen Church, is also stepping back after four years of dedicated service. We have lost a number of our younger teachers to the rigours of student life and studies. Three of our teachers, out of a needed nine (a coordinator plus two teachers per age group), remain to "hold the fort".
It is particularly important that we find a coordinator with organisational and educational experience, otherwise we will not be able to reopen our Children's Church in 2009. Please don't leave this responsibility to others: if you have the skills, please apply. If you know of other parishioners who may be potential teachers, please speak up!
Youth Activities
Hilary and Lloyd, Shane and Liesel, Steve and Sabine, have made a commitment to re-charging our young people in the New Year: there has been a lot of interest shown by our young people, and we hope parents will also join this initiative.
Assistant Clergy
Our congratulations go to Vernon on his appointment as Rector of Trinity Anglican Church, Lynnwood, as from 1 January 2009. Please keep him in prayer as he prepares himself for this new responsibility and ministry.
Mission Parish
Our "baby" in Willow Glen is beginning to grow up! At Synod the decision was made to amalgamate Silverton and Willow Glen into the Mission Parish of Equestria. We await confirmation from the Bishop as to the appointment of a new Missionary Deacon for this mission. Please keep me in your prayers as continue to give leadership oversight to this important missionary outreach.
Jenny Moser, our own "Mrs Tumelong", has indicated that she wishes to hand on the baton, and give others the opportunity to give leadership to this important social development focus in our parish. Jenny, you have been a giant in our midst, and held the flag high: thank you for your continued badgering and selfless contribution to the cause of the poor beyond our parish boundaries. We salute you for your dedication and the caring example you have given over the years. We know you will remain involved, but acknowledge your need to take some very well deserved rest!
As a parish we have had a good year. My personal thanks to you all: your contribution, be it just finding time to attend worship, or greater involvement through time and resources, has enabled us to be about the business of building the Kingdom of God in our needy world. Bless you!
A blessed Christmas and New Year to you all!

HOUSTON --A traffic accident killed a teenage delivery driver last night in northwest Harris County.
The crash happened on Spring Cypress Road near Huffsmith-Kohrzille. Firefighters say a 16-year-old boy was delivering food from a restaurant when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pickup. The truck rolled on top of the teen's vehicle and killed him.
A couple and their two children were in the pickup. The children, ages 12 and 15, suffered minor injuries.
It's unknown if last night's rain played a role in the crash. The teen hasn't been identified.

Injury Prevention Report Card: Nearly Half of U.S. States Score Low
May 22, 2012
TIME Magazine
Nearly 50 million Americans are treated for injuries each year, and more than 2.8 million are hospitalized. Injuries remain the third leading cause of death in the U.S., and yet many states are still lagging on injury prevention measures.
Take Montana, for example. According to The Facts Hurt: State-By-State Injury Prevention Policy Report, the state doesn't enforce primary seat belt laws nor does it require bicycle helmets for all kids.

By Joe Chiodo
Sunday morning holy day of rest
we score a fat 80 sack
fiery fish scales
top shelf from Crazy-Eyed Sam
two gray rocks of chalky compressed powder
each twice the size of a skittle
and just as sweet
I sit passenger
terrified as usual
cops or thugs
one is sure to throw us into the shit
but not today
today we win again
Toby drives like mania in a bottle
shaken up on dope dreams
in fifteen minutes twenty tops we'll be back
to the comfort of our red paneled garbage house
situated on a corner at the edge of the ghetto
where plight leaks into comfort
one block North
inviting homes with trimmed grass
men in ties park clean cars in garages
one block South
nothing but empty cans and broken glass
retired needles rest in cracks along the curb
and I fantasize about breaking up my half
of the potent candy
I think I'll make it last
two days
three nights
I'll figure it out once we get back to the hood
and it's nothing but a lone Pennsylvanian country road
that separates us from peaceful medicating
one road
one lane
but Toby can't wait
approaches 80 in a 45
not many patrols in the sticks
I reassure myself
he perches his boney knees on the sides of the wheel
pops the glove box
removes his rig
"can't it wait"
not a hand on the wheel
water is poured from bottle to filthy brown spoon
80 turns to 85 turns to 90 turns to
"slow down"
back to 80 and the sludge is boiling
I wipe sweat from my brow and hope
to avoid all the things that can go wrong
when shooting while driving
tied off not an eye on the road except mine
plastic hammer drawn
syringe full of unconditional love
I prepare to grab the wheel if my driver swerves
or comatoses and foams at the mouth
eyes rolled back
soul packing its bags
they call it falling out
but he takes the hit like a heavyweight with a stainless steel chin
I calm down inside
remind myself we're almost home
no one busted us
Toby is breathing
I got the shit in my pocket
survive survival surrender
a red house in the distance

(Israelly Cool / Daily Mail / Algemeiner)Saif al-Islam Gaddafi's house on Winnington Close, Finchley, London. Photo: Grim23.
Israeli model and actress Orly Weinerman has revealed a six year relationship with son of Muammar Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam, and issued a plea to Tony Blair to help save his life according to the Daily Mail.
The younger Gaddafi, who is said to be held by rebel forces, now awaits trial in Libya for his brutal role in attempting to suppress the country's recent uprising, a crime for which he faces the death penalty.
Now Weinerman, who was involved romantically with the tyrant's son since 2005, when they were introduced in London, has called on the former British Prime Minister, who she says was an old friend of Saif, to intervene on his behalf.
"Saif worked closely with Mr Blair before he was captured. The two are old friends – it is time that Mr Blair returned some loyalty. Mr Blair is a man of God – as a Christian he has a moral duty to help a friend in need," she said, according to the Mail.
"You should just ask Mr Blair what a serious, honourable person he is. The ICC has let him down, and so has the international community. Killing him will achieve absolutely nothing, beyond punishing him for who his father was. Absolutely everything must be done to save him," Weinerman added.
The Israeli model claims that they even considered marriage at one point, but that their relationship ended after the violent uprising in Libya last year.
Weinerman says that their relationship was strained from the start because she was Jewish, which would be opposed in an Islamic country like Libya. Her parents and the Israeli press were critical of the relationship.
Her parents – her father is a green energy consultant and her mother a pianist – were also opposed to her converting to Islam, she said, and her relationship with Saif came in for much criticism in the Israeli press.
'It was something we had to deal with,' said Miss Weinerman, who is now based in her home city of Tel Aviv.
'The fact that Saif was prepared to involve himself in a loving relationship with a Jew is a measure of how open and civilised he is.
'He judged people for what they are – not what people perceive them to be. Saif never made an issue of my religion, or the country I came from.'
She had previously denied having any contact with Saif, after publications including Germany's Der Spiegel reported their romance in 2006.
Saif's reputation is as a notorious womaniser, and he has been photographed surrounded by gorgeous women.
Another stupid Jew who is too open minded for her own good. It is sad that Jews like this are holding other Jews accountable for a level of scrutiny that no one can live up to… Where were the Jewish and Israeli girls in my life? Dating my murderers with an open mind. Meanwhile most of my relatives have given me the silent treatment because I didn't vote for Obama… who gave most of the world over to the Muslim Brotherhood…that defeated Qaddaffi. Bitches and feminists will be screwing the Muslim Brotherhood shortly and giving me the hairy eyeball for any scrutiny.

Lesson 1 (from Chapter 1)
The student will formulate a definition of courage in politics.
The student will analyze Hemingway's definition of courage.
The student will differentiate between courage and cynicism.
1. Using Hemingway's definition of courage, the teacher will lead the class in a discussion to define individual ideas of political courage.
2. The students will be instructed to look up the word cynicism and discuss its meaning in class. Then, the two definitions--courage and cynicism--will be compared and applied to political dissent. (e.g., Was the demonstration in front of the Democratic National Convention in 1968 an act of courage or of cynicism?)
Read Chapter 1.
Formulate your personal idea about whether courage is still valued in a politician. Be prepared to discuss in class.
Be ready to discuss any social and political pressures that make courage difficult today.
Lesson 2 (from Chapter 1)
The student will defend his/her position on the value...

Will O'Brien may have the campus's best answer to the age-old question: How did you spend your summer vacation?
O'Brien, visiting lecturer at the Clark University, Graduate School of Management, devoted two weeks in June to lecture about sustainability practices to 40 M.B.A. students at Vietnam National University in Hanoi. The overseas trip also afforded O'Brien the opportunity to further spread the green message by conducting a seminar for local business owners about the types of initiatives that will save them money and reduce their impact on the environment. Vietnam was something of a natural fit for O'Brien, who served as a U.S. Naval officer in Da Nang in 1967 and 1968. "I came to know and love Vietnam, and always wanted to go back there," he says. Last summer, O'Brien got his chance. This time, he was visiting Vietnam after having accrued 40 years in the computer industry as an executive and consultant, and then, after retirement, moving on to a teaching career at Bentley University and Clark University, where he spearheaded the development of Clark's M.B.A. in sustainability. His goal was to form partnerships with Vietnamese companies and establish a Sustainable Business Leader Program™ (SBLP) to help them adopt environment-friendly practices.
'My motivation is to help these businesses survive and succeed long term. And the piece about wanting to leave the planet a better place — well, I have seven grandchildren, and I'm quite serious about that.'
~ Will O'Brien
He notes that the Vietnamese government is acutely aware of sustainability issues, especially with regards to water conservation ("Water is their oil," says O'Brien), and a number of private company owners show an entrepreneurial drive when it comes to incorporating environmentally savvy initiatives into their business models. He cites the Hanoi-based Duc Viet EnvironmentalTechnology Co., Ltd., which designs and builds water treatment plans and assists large industrial operations to recycle and reprocess water, as well as Bach Khoa Investment & Development of Solar Energy (BK-IDSE) in Ho Chi Minh City.
O'Brien says his green efforts have been buttressed by ongoing encouragement and backing from Clark University. "I have received extraordinary support since I've been here," he says. "My main mission at Clark is to help develop future leaders as environmental stewards." He notes that Clark students have created an estimated 25 sustainability action plans for companies throughout the state. On July 20, O'Brien joined Mayor Joseph Petty at Worcester City Hall to award Sustainable Business Leader certification to the owners of four Worcester businesses: Abbott Bioresearch Center, C.C. Lowell, Wooberry Frozen Yogurt and East Coast Autowerks. The ceremony, which included the obligatory handshakes and photos, was brief, but the positive outcomes of the companies' greening will endure far longer.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Reuters) - Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan said on Friday that the U.S. economy is making slow progress toward meeting the central bank's objectives.
"I'd say we are making slow but ... sluggish progress to meeting our objectives," Kaplan told a community bankers association in New Mexico.
The Fed has a dual mandate of full employment and an inflation target of 2 percent.

The Hondex PS-7 Depth Sounder measures distances through water. It will give an accurate reading from 0.6m up to a distance of 80m.
Use the sounder in conjunction with a GPS to produce rough topographical maps of lakes and shorelines. For example, this kind of information would be useful for a macrophyte survey to see which plants live at which depths. You could also use this sounder when diving to measure horizontal distances such as from a wreck site to the shore--or to the rock which it crashed on.
The PS-7 is waterproof to a depth of 50 m. The transducer in the end of the unit must touch the water as sonar will not read through air. Readings are accurate from 0.6 m to 80m, measured in metres or feet to the nearest tenth. A reading holds for 10 seconds or updates each time the switch is pushed. The 9V battery will power 500 ten-second readings.

Should the Supreme Court have Appointed Amici in the Healthcare Cases?1 Comment Published by Kedar S. Bhatia November 22nd, 2011 in Court Procedure, Supreme Court Bar
The Supreme Court's decision last week to appoint H. Bartow Farr and Robert Long to argue in the ACA cases follows in a long tradition of appointing amici to support positions that might not otherwise receive representation at the merits stage. But should positions themselves receive representation?
Earlier this year the Stanford Law Review published an interesting note by Brian P. Goldman titled "Should the Supreme Court Stop Inviting Amici Curiae to Defend Abandoned Lower Court Decisions?" In the article, Goldman argues the Supreme Court should limit the instances in which it appoints amici for a variety of compelling reasons, not least of which is that appointing amici can take control of litigation away from the parties to litigation.
The idea of appointing amici should ask us to consider the extent to which we believe in the adversarial system in the Supreme Court. Over the years, regular amici, as well as appointed amici, have taken an increasingly central role in shaping litigation. As a result, the Supreme Court could be reaching more education decisions–if you assume the increase in amici participation is introducing a wider breadth of ideas–but that may have taken some of the power away from the parties that have skin in the game. If a litigant wants to leave a favorable lower-court decision to die, should the Supreme Court really object by appointing someone to artificially support that position?
Attorneys in every court make fringe arguments at the request of their clients or because those fringe arguments are the best available. When the Supreme Court appoints amici, however, they pushing the fiction of credible arguments even further by artificially appointing someone to represent a position they literally have no reason to support. That position is not in the best interest of their client, as in the proud adversarial tradition, nor is it really benefiting any 'client' at all.
Traditionally, appointed amici have been a mix of both experienced appellate litigators and relatively green ones, but recent appointed amici have been much younger. Those amici are sometimes appointed in relatively unimportant cases and advocate for positions that have very little likelihood of success (although some occasionally win the day). In that tradition, both Chief Justice Roberts and Latham & Watkins partner Maureen Mahoney argued their first cases as appointed amici. The advocates arguing in the Healthcare cases are a bit of an exception to that recent trend then because, while both are former Supreme Court clerks, they are also experienced advocates with more than a dozen arguments each and experience in the Office of the Solicitor General. In fact, Robert Long served in the Office of the Solicitor General while Chief Justice Roberts was a Deputy Solicitor General and only a few years after Justice Alito served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General.
In many ways, appointed amici are truly friends of the court. They write briefs and argue free of charge, and they have no client except the Court. It would be hard to find amici better than the ones appointed in the Healthcare cases, but should they have been appointed at all?

Book Review: Calamity by Brandon Sanderson
Title: Calamity
Author: Brandon Sanderson
Genre: Superheroes
Amazon rating: 4.6 stars
When Calamity lit up the sky, the Epics were born. David's fate has been tied to their villainy ever since that historic night. Steelheart killed his father. Firefight stole his heart. And now Regalia has turned his closest ally into a dangerous enemy.
David knew Prof's secret, and kept it even when the Reckoners' leader struggled to control the effects of his Epic powers. But facing Obliteration in Babilar was too much. Prof has now embraced his Epic destiny. He's disappeared into those murky shadows of menace Epics are infamous for the world over, and everyone knows there's no turning back…
But everyone is wrong. Redemption is possible for Epics—Megan proved it. They're not lost. Not completely. And David is just about crazy enough to face down the most powerful High Epic of all to get his friend back. Or die trying.
Reviewed by David Wiley
I wanted to read this book like a kid wants to eat a giant lollipop. I was excited to read the book just like the kid gets excited about lollipops, but I didn't want it to end too soon just like the kid who gets the giant lollipop so they can savor the experience a little longer. Yes, this series will be full of intentionally bad metaphors, and Calamity certainly had some memorable ones in there. The humor that Sanderson laced into this book, as well as the previous books, makes this a fun read while the action and intrigue makes it an entertaining romp through a world where superpowers don't go to the good guys. Or, rather, it seems that everyone who gets superpowers turns bad, and they are known as Epics.
It is difficult to write a spoiler-free review of the final book in a trilogy like this, but I want this to be a comprehensive review for more than just this one book. I want someone to read this and go pick up the entire trilogy (Steelheart, Firefight, Calamity) plus the short between the first two (Mitosis). The Reckoners are back in action in this finale that certainly lives up to every expectation that it promised. The showdown that has been coming is epic. And Epic.
But that isn't even the main target for the book. The one complaint that could be voiced is that once this big showdown is over, there isn't enough time to properly build up for the other final showdown. But the plans of the Reckoners, especially those made by the main character, David, never work out like they should anyway so extra time to plan and scheme would have been prolonging a story longer than it needed to.
More information is learned about the powers that the Epics possess and how they came to get those, and some of those Epics seen in previous books take their powers to the next level in this one. Seriously, it is amazing what Sanderson had them doing with these powers.
One sign of a great trilogy is being able to reflect back, at the end, and see how things not only progressed from Book One to the ending but also to see how things in the early chapters allude to later events or become significant later on down the line. In that respect, Calamity delivers. I will always look back upon the Reckoners trilogy as a fantastic series. Steelheart was the first Sanderson book I ever picked up and I've been waiting anxiously ever since Firefight was announced shortly after I finished that book. I could herald this series for being about superpowers, which it certainly has plenty of that, but this series is so much more than a mere superhero series. It is action and excitement, mystery and intrigue, bad kissing and bad metaphors, exaggerated stories and mysterious backgrounds, and just plain fun.
I cannot recommend this book, and this trilogy, enough. Put it on your TBR list right now and you won't regret it. Allow Steelheart to rope you in and you'll thank me when you finish Calamity.

Merck launches health reference tome
The book, titled The Merck Manual Home Health Handbook, was launched in response to survey data showing that 64% of consumers named physicians as their most trusted source of health information. The Merck reference book is authored by "300 key worldwide medical experts," according to a statement. The book costs $28.76 at Amazon.com.
The iPhone app, developed in collaboration with app-developer Agile Partners and available through the iTunes store for $9.99, offers the same content as the hardback edition. Users of the app can share health topics via email and bookmark favorite subjects, the statement said.
"In addition to the latest health care and medical information, we included a practical 'emergencies and injuries' section that is accessible from the app home screen," said Robert Porter, editor-in-chief of The Merck Manuals, in the statement.
Merck concurrently launched a professional version of the app for doctors and nurses. That version costs $29.99, and features information on symptoms, text searches, and a bookmarking system that records a history of topics viewed by a physician.

Tattoo Kitsch of Terry Bradley/
Local Northern Irish artist Terry Bradley's dockers & pin-up girls have made old school tattoo images accessible for those who before might have thought tatts just meant tack. My husband & I are both heavily tattooed with old school designs (swallows, dice, skull & crossbones, sharks, ships) so Bradley's work was an easy choice for a Christmas present for us last year from my parents-in-law. I have very few things hanging on our walls that I wouldn't tag as 'ugly art', this is one of them. We have two, but this is my favourite. Sailortown Hero.

Virus Quotes (23 quotes)
...on opening the incubator I experienced one of those rare moments of intense emotion which reward the research worker for all his pains: at first glance I saw that the broth culture, which the night before had been very turbid was perfectly clear: all the bacteria had vanished... as for my agar spread it was devoid of all growth and what caused my emotion was that in a flash I understood: what causes my spots was in fact an invisible microbe, a filterable virus, but a virus parasitic on bacteria. Another thought came to me also, If this is true, the same thing will have probably occurred in the sick man. In his intestine, as in my test-tube, the dysentery bacilli will have dissolved away under the action of their parasite. He should now be cured.
A lot of people ask, Do you think humans are parasites? Its an interesting idea and one worth thinking about. People casually refer to humanity as a virus spreading across the earth. In fact, we do look like some strange kind of bio-film spreading across the landscape. A good metaphor? If the biosphere is our host, we do use it up for our own benefit. We do manipulate it. We alter the flows and fluxes of elements like carbon and nitrogen to benefit ourselvesoften at the expense of the biosphere as a whole. If you look at how coral reefs or tropical forests are faring these days, youll notice that our host is not doing that well right now. Parasites are very sophisticated; parasites are highly evolved; parasites are very successful, as reflected in their diversity. Humans are not very good parasites. Successful parasites do a very good job of balancingusing up their hosts and keeping them alive. Its all a question of tuning the adaptation to your particular host. In our case, we have only one host, so we have to be particularly careful.
A strong feeling of adventure is animating those who are working on bacterial viruses, a feeling that they have a small part in the great drive towards a fundamental problem in biology.
All living things need their instruction manual (even nonliving things like viruses) and that is all they need, carried in one very small suitcase.
Almost daily we shudder as prophets of doom announce the impending end of civilization and universe. We are being asphyxiated, they say, by the smoke of the industry; we are suffocating in the ever growing mountain of rubbish. Every new project depicts its measureable effects and is denounced by protesters screaming about catastrophe, the upsetting of the land, the assault on nature. If we accepted this new mythology we would have to stop pushing roads through the forest, harnessing rivers to produce the electricity, breaking grounds to extract metals, enriching the soil with chemicals, killing insects, combating viruses But progressbasically, an effort to organise a corner of land and make it more favourable for human lifecannot be baited. Without the science of pomiculture, for example, trees will bear fruits that are small, bitter, hard, indigestible, and sour. Progress is desirable.
But however secure and well-regulated civilized life may become, bacteria, Protozoa, viruses, infected fleas, lice, ticks, mosquitoes, and bedbugs will always lurk in the shadows ready to pounce when neglect, poverty, famine, or war lets down the defenses.
By teaching us how to cultivate each ferment in its purityin other words, by teaching us how to rear the individual organism apart from all others,Pasteur has enabled us to avoid all these errors. And where this isolation of a particular organism has been duly effected it grows and multiplies indefinitely, but no change of it into another organism is ever observed. In Pasteurs researches the Bacterium remained a Bacterium, the Vibrio a Vibrio, the Penicillium a Penicillium, and the Torula a Torula. Sow any of these in a state of purity in an appropriate liquid; you get it, and it alone, in the subsequent crop. In like manner, sow smallpox in the human body, your crop is smallpox. Sow there scarlatina, and your crop is scarlatina. Sow typhoid virus, your crop is typhoidcholera, your crop is cholera. The disease bears as constant a relation to its contagium as the microscopic organisms just enumerated do to their germs, or indeed as a thistle does to its seed.
For the philosopher, order is the entirety of repetitions manifested, in the form of types or of laws, by perceived objects. Order is an intelligible relation. For the biologist, order is a sequence in space and time. However, according to Plato, all things arise out of their opposites. Order was born of the original disorder, and the long evolution responsible for the present biological order necessarily had to engender disorder.
An organism is a molecular society, and biological order is a kind of social order. Social order is opposed to revolution, which is an abrupt change of order, and to anarchy, which is the absence of order.
I am presenting here today both revolution and anarchy, for which I am fortunately not the only one responsible. However, anarchy cannot survive and prosper except in an ordered society, and revolution becomes sooner or later the new order. Viruses have not failed to follow the general law. They are strict parasites which, born of disorder, have created a very remarkable new order to ensure their own perpetuation.

He saw virus particles shaped like snakes, in negative images. They were white cobras tangled among themselves, like the hair of Medusa. They were the face of nature herself, the obscene goddess revealed naked. This life form thing was breathtakingly beautiful. As he stared at it, he found himself being pulled out of the human world into a world where moral boundaries blur and finally dissolve completely. He was lost in wonder and admiration, even though he knew that he was the prey.
I would picture myself as a virus, or as a cancer cell, for example, and try to sense what it would be like to be either. I would also imagine myself as the immune system, and I would try to reconstruct what I would do as an immune system engaged in combating a virus or cancer cell. When I had played through a series of such scenarios on a particular problem and had acquired new insights, I would design laboratory experiments accordingly Based upon the results of the experiment, I would then know what question to ask next When I observed phenomena in the laboratory that I did not understand, I would also ask questions as if interrogating myself: Why would I do that if I were a virus or a cancer cell, or the immune system? Before long, this internal dialogue became second nature to me; I found that my mind worked this way all the time.
If the structure that serves as a template (the gene or virus molecule) consists of, say, two parts, which are themselves complementary In structure, then each of these parts can serve as the mould for the production of a replica of the other part, and the complex of two complementary parts thus can serve as the mould for the production of duplicates of itself.
Influenza is something unique. It behaves epidemiologically in a way different from that of any other known infection.
My ambition was to bring to bear on medicine a chemical approach. I did that by chemical manipulation of viruses and chemical ways of thinking in biomedical research.
One can ask: If I crystallize a virus to obtain a crystal consisting of the molecules that make up the virus, are those molecules lifeless or not? The properties of living organisms are those of aggregates of molecules. Its very difficult to draw a line between molecules that are lifeless and molecules that are not lifeless.
Parasites are not only incredibly diverse; they are also incredibly successful. There are parasitic stretches of DNA in your own genes, some of which are called retrotransposons. Many of the parasitic stretches were originally viruses that entered our DNA. Most of them don't do us any harm. They just copy and insert themselves in other parts of our DNA, basically replicating themselves. Sometimes they hop into other species and replicate themselves in a new host. According to one estimate, roughly one-third to one-half of all human DNA is basically parasitic.
Primates stand at a turning point in the course of evolution. Primates are to the biologist what viruses are to the biochemist. They can be analysed and partly understood according to the rules of a simpler discipline, but they also present another level of complexity: viruses are living chemicals, and primates are animals who love and hate and think.
Suppose [an] imaginary physicist, the student of Niels Bohr, is shown an experiment in which a virus particle enters a bacterial cell and 20 minutes later the bacterial cell is lysed and 100 virus particles are liberated. He will say: How come, one particle has become 100 particles of the same kind in 20 minutes? That is very interesting. Let us find out how it happens! How does the particle get in to the bacterium? How does it multiply? Does it multiply like a bacterium, growing and dividing, or does it multiply by an entirely different mechanism ? Does it have to be inside the bacterium to do this multiplying, or can we squash the bacterium and have the multiplication go on as before? Is this multiplying a trick of organic chemistry which the organic chemists have not yet discovered ? Let us find out. This is so simple a phenomenon that the answers cannot be hard to find. In a few months we will know. All we have to do is to study how conditions will influence the multiplication. We will do a few experiments at different temperatures, in different media, with different viruses, and we will know. Perhaps we may have to break into the bacteria at intermediate stages between infection and lysis. Anyhow, the experiments only take a few hours each, so the whole problem can not take long to solve.
[Eight years later] he has not got anywhere in solving the problem he set out to solve. But [he may say to you] Well, I made a slight mistake. I could not do it in a few months. Perhaps it will take a few decades, and perhaps it will take the help of a few dozen other people. But listen to what I have found, perhaps you will be interested to join me.

The fact that, with respect to size, the viruses overlapped with the organisms of the biologist at one extreme and with the molecules of the chemist at the other extreme only served to heighten the mystery regarding the nature of viruses. Then too, it became obvious that a sharp line dividing living from non-living things could not be drawn and this fact served to add fuel for discussion of the age-old question of What is life?
The nucleic acids, as constituents of living organisms, are comparable In importance to proteins. There is evidence that they are Involved In the processes of cell division and growth, that they participate In the transmission of hereditary characters, and that they are important constituents of viruses. An understanding of the molecular structure of the nucleic acids should be of value In the effort to understand the fundamental phenomena of life.

These results demonstrate that there is a new polymerase inside the virions of RNA tumour viruses. It is not present in supernatents of normal cells but is present in virions of avian sarcoma and leukemia RNA tumour viruses. The polymerase seems to catalyse the incorporation of deoxyrinonucleotide triphosphates into DNA from an RNA template. Work is being performed to characterize further the reaction and the product. If the present results and Baltimore's results with Rauscher leukemia virus are upheld, they will constitute strong evidence that the DNA proviruses have a DNA genome when they are in virions. This result would have strong implications for theories of viral carcinogenesis and, possibly, for theories of information transfer in other biological systems. [Co-author with American virologist Satoshi Mizutani]
We think of something that has four legs and wags its tail as being alive. We look at a rock and say its not living. Yet when we get down to the no mans land of virus particles and replicating molecules, we are hard put to define what is living and what is non-living.
When there are too many deer in the forest or too many cats in the barn, nature restores the balance by the introduction of a communicable disease or virus.
[Physicists] feel that the field of bacterial viruses is a fine playground for serious children who ask ambitious questions.
