High frequency trading has been a focus of discussion and controversy in the financial markets for some time, but the release of Michael Lewis' book "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt" has amped the level of debate up a few notches.
We pose a series of questions to some industry experts and attempt to separate facts from myths regarding high frequency trading. The stakes have risen and it is important people understand what high frequency trading is and what is isn't.
Futures Magazine: There has been a great deal of confusion and fear over high frequency trading (HFT). What is your one-sentence definition of what HFT is? Do many people understand what it is?
Peter Nabicht: The name "high frequency trading" is self-defining. It is simply trading with a higher frequency relative to other market participants.
Lately, the phrase has been given so much implied meaning. "HFT" has become a catch-all phrase that is mostly used by people to label specific activity that they do not like or find to be predatory. There are bad actors in the market, at any frequency and speed, but their actions don't define HFT. We shouldn't ignore the many benefits HFT brings to the market, such as tighter spreads, more liquidity and efficient, fair prices.
Irene Aldridge: High frequency trading is a class of intraday trading strategies that electronically model operations of traditional human brokers, including market making, order routing and trading book risk management.
Keith Ross: HFT is market making with software. Most misunderstand, like they misunderstood the specialist.
Spalding Hall: Entities paying for access and then using speed to see orders/trades (that slower traders do not have access to), which allows them to make a guaranteed profit on a trade.
FM: Michael Lewis called the U.S. equity market "rigged." Do you think it is? If so, is HFT the cause?
PN: The market is not rigged and saying so is gross hyperbole. It wrongly implies that there is a vast conspiracy against the end investor and does more to hurt confidence in the markets than anything else said in a while. Lumping all behavior together and labeling it as all bad does a disservice to the book's readers and is too simplistic a take on a complex topic. However, Flash Boys brought complex market structure and broker conflicts of interest to the general public. The dialog coming from the book will continue longer than the hyperbole.
IA: The U.S. markets are more transparent and fairer than they have ever been, and are presently on path to become even stronger. Interest in the strength of America's financial markets has never been stronger. Michael Lewis is considerably off base in his perceptions and his book will have little lasting impact to how markets work today. He comes across very much still stuck in the 1980s, the last time he actively participated in the financial markets by his own admission, and the time when Lewis [describes] unfair trading practices in detail in Liar's Poker.
KR: The market is not rigged. It is highly efficient and hugely competitive. Fallout could be that politicians try to fix it and don't know what they are doing.
SH: Yes. A guaranteed profit is the definition of rigged. The fallout will be the loss of "real" money and investors.
FM: Is Lewis' characterization of HFT correct or is something missing? If so, what does he fail to explain?
PN: Lewis' characterization of HFT is far from correct. He describes a few bad practices, which if anything is a small minority of trading activity, and ignores the vast amount of HFT activity, which is beneficial to the markets and investors. Lewis wrongfully gives the impression that all HFT is predatory.
It isn't that he completely fails to explain properly, he just fails to do so clearly and effectively. Lewis writes: "And anyway, it wasn't high frequency trading itself that was pernicious; it was its predations." The problem is, he buries this important differentiation in the middle of a paragraph 170+ pages into the book and fails to further explain HFT.
KR: Analysis is wrong, what he is missing could fill another book.

Neighborhood 'share shops' scheduled
Sarasota County announces next round of neighborhood 'share shops'
SARASOTA COUNTY - Earlier this year, Sarasota County Neighborhood Services piloted "share-shops," a unique form of workshop in which residents are included on a panel of subject matter experts.
Each share-shop highlights a neighborhood project that has been completed through the county's Neighborhood Initiative Grant Program. In addition to grant recipients, the panel also includes a county staff subject matter expert and a member of the Neighborhood Initiative Grant Advisory Committee.
"These share-shops provide great insight on how to successfully apply for and implement one of our neighborhood grants. But, at their core, they are stories of neighborhood residents joining one another to work toward and achieve a goal. We think those stories are worth sharing," said Sarasota County Neighborhood Services Manager Jane Grogg.
A share-shop, focused on a pond restoration project in Talon Bay, is planned for 4-5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 16, at the North Port Library.
Any neighborhood leader or resident is encouraged to attend. If you would like to be notified of future share-shop dates, contact email@example.com.
Additional information can be found by calling the Sarasota County Contact Center at 941-861-5000.

Tarsius wallacei
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Tarsius wallacei Merker, Driller, Dahruddin, Wirdateti, Sinaga, Perwitasari-Farajallah & Shekelle, 2010
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Merker et al. (2010) described this species, Tarsius wallacei, from the Isthmus of Palu and from a small area southwest of Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It has unique morphological and bioacoustic traits as well as mitochondrial, Y-chromosomal, and microsatellite DNA patterns that clearly separate it from other tarsiers. The species includes the T. tarsier population referred to by Shekelle et al. (1997) as "Tinombo form".
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Data Deficient ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Merker, S.
|Mittermeier, R.A. & Rylands, A.B.
Listed as Data Deficient as Tarsius wallacei was recently described, and its population status cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Additional surveys are needed.
|Range Description:
This species occupies a discontinuous range in the province of Central Sulawesi. Northern and southern populations are isolated from each other by the Palu Bay, the city of Palu, and the southern parts of the Isthmus of Palu, an area now inhabited by the parapatric species T. dentatus. The current evidence indicates that the northern population occurs within the following geographic limits: an unknown line just west of the village of Tomini to the northeast (about 120º30'E), the coastlines of the Isthmus of Palu to the east and tho the west, and an unknown line between the village of Ampibabo and Marantale to the south (about 0º30'S). Along its northern border, this population borders the "Sejoli form" sensu Shekelle et al. (1997). At its southern limit, this population borders T. dentatus (Merker et al. 2010).
The southern population occurs southwest to west of Palu, it is definitely known from the type locality Uwemanje only and probably occurs in a very small area from Uwemanje to the west. Approximately 9 km to the south T. dentatus is found, and 24 km to the northwest, T. lariang (Merker et al. 2010).
The two populations are distinguished as T. wallacei Tinombo form (northern) and T. wallacei Uwemanje form (southern).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Indonesia (Sulawesi)
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
The isolated southern population of T. wallacei occurs in a very small area of probably no more than 5x10 km (Merker et al. 2010). Satellite images suggest an even much smaller area of occupancy in this region and thus, although population estimates are still lacking, a critical status of this stock is conceivable.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
The species occurs in primary, secondary, and degraded forest habitats. So far, little is known on the ecology of T. wallacei. Given the morphological and ecological similarity of the species to other Sulawesi lowland tarsiers, this nocturnal primate is expected to feed on live animal prey with insects as the main component of its prey and to spend daylight hours in holes or crevices of strangling figs (Ficus spp.).
|Major Threat(s):
As other tarsier species, T. wallacei faces habitat loss and degradation effected by conversion of rainforest to cash crop plantations. In light of a very small range of the Uwemanje form, local policy-making in one or a few villages may be of high impact on this stock.
|Conservation Actions:
The range of the northern population of T. wallacei includes Gunung Sojol Nature Reserve.

U.S. Forest Service suspends policy of letting fires burn to save resources spent on fighting infernos that get out of control.
The U.S. Forest Service has at least temporarily suspended a policy of letting fires burn in the national forest system, in hopes of saving resources spent on fighting infernos that start small but quickly grow out of control.
The Duluth News Tribune reported Sunday (http://bit.ly/REKym3 ) that the Forest Service will get much more aggressive about suppressing small fires in the wilderness. Such a policy likely would have prevented last year's Pagami Creek Fire near Ely, which burned slowly at first but after unexpectedly hot and windy weather it grew to consume 93,000 acres and cost $23 million to fight.
Superior National Forest supervisor Brenda Halter said the directive came down last month as the national forest system's firefighting operation was stressed with huge fires in Colorado and other western states. "It's a national directive that means we're going to be much more aggressively suppressing wildfires in wilderness," Halter said.
The Pagami Creek blaze started last Aug. 18 with a lightning strike. Most lightning-started fires in the 1.1 million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness smolder and die without spreading widely, and even for those that grow Forest Service policy had been to allow them to burn to help renew the forest — a cycle that has shaped forests for millennia.
But the blaze exploded Sept. 12, quickly spreading across 70,000 acres as crews and campers scrambled from its path. It took another month, nearly 1,000 firefighters from across the country and autumn rains and snow before the fire was declared to be out.
The Forest Service's old policy stoked anger among some local residents and leaders, who called for rethinking it.
"That's very good news," Tom Pearson, co-owner of the Stony River Sport Shop and Cafe in Isabella, said of the policy change. His business was threatened for a time by the Pagami Creek fire. "That should be their policy all the time. Nip it in the bud."
Halter said the temporary directive would be reviewed regularly and likely set aside during winter. She said there's no change in the long-term federal policy of using wildfires as a forest management tool. Allowing small fires to burn removes fuel for larger fires down the road, she said, and helps spur the growth of young trees that are more resistant to fire.
"Suppressing every fire is not a good solution," Halter said. "We've seen clearly that 100 years of trying to put every fire out only led to conditions that created catastrophic fires today."

Angel Pagan is going to the World Series and Carlos Beltran is not. It is the third time in his career Beltran fell short in the NLCS. Of course, you remember 2006, so there's no reason to rehash that painful memory.
Just let it fade away. You'll see, in time it will be just a dull ache rather than a sharp twinge.
When you look at the seasons enjoyed by Beltran and Pagan, naturally there's the thought of what if they had stayed, but the truth is neither were destined to stay in New York. Beltran was always a mercenary and Pagan came here as a plug-in.
That's also how they left.
To understand why neither have regrets leaving Flushing, despite a stated admiration for their former teammates, it is important to understand how, and why they left. In both cases, it was an unceremonious departure.
For Beltran, the Mets' financial house of cards was starting to crumble and despite a strong first half in 2011, there was no way they were going to pick up his option. The Mets were thinking younger and cheaper, which is why they were willing to replace him in center with Pagan in the first place.
Beltran had been largely mistreated and not appreciated by Mets after he took that third strike from Adam Wainwright he had no chance of hitting. Although he played hurt and injured, and produced when he was healthy, Met fans always wanted something more from Pagan. An extraordinary switch hitter, it was expected he'd become another Mickey Mantle. Nobody could reach that level, although Beltran is arguable one of the top five position players the franchise had, in a group that includes David Wright, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter and Mike Piazza.
The key moment in the breakdown of the Mets-Beltran marriage came when in the delay in undergoing surgery in 2009. When it was clear the Mets were out of things late in the second half, rather than having Beltran undergo surgery, then GM Omar Minaya foolishly opted to bring him back in September when it was clear he couldn't play.
Then Minaya got in a spitting match with Beltran in the offseason about surgery to the point where the outfielder had surgery on his own. Consequently, Beltran missed most of the 2010 season and was a health question going into 2011.
Mets management under Minaya made it impossible for Beltran to the point where he wouldn't want to come back. It was a relief for everybody when he was traded to the Giants for Zach Wheeler.
Following Beltran out the door was Pagan, also to the Giants, when they dealt him to the Giants for deadweight outfielder Andres Torres and reliever Ramon Ramirez, the latter two who have likely seen their last days as Mets.
Pagan seemingly had a breakout year in 2010, but became moody and despondent – it was later revealed he suffered for depression – and he regressed, returning to lapses of concentration in the field and giving away too many at-bats at the plate.
The same reason why the Mets acquired him – a change of scenery was needed – was the driving force for the trade. The Mets hoped moving on would made a difference for Torres; the Giants thought the same about Pagan.
It happened only for Pagan, now a postseason star for the Giants. Both Pagan and Beltran are happy to be gone. You should be happy for them because there was no way they were staying.

KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether the killing of a Texas county prosecutor earlier this year is linked to the slaying of Colorado's prison director.
Kaufman police chief Chris Aulbaugh said Friday the FBI is checking to see if the January shooting death of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse is connected to Tuesday's killing of prison chief Tom Clements.
Hasse was killed about 100 miles away from where former Colorado inmate and white supremacist Evan Spencer Ebel died Thursday after a shootout with deputies. Investigators are trying to determine if Ebel is linked to Clements' death.
Aulbaugh calls the investigation routine for attacks that appear similar. Both targeted law enforcement officials. Authorities have investigated whether Hasse's death could be linked to a white supremacist gang.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Tunisia says it was warned by the CIA of a planned attack against a lawmaker whose assassination in July plunged the country into a political crisis, but said there were failures in the Tunisian security services' response.
Opposition politician Mohammed Brahmi, gunned down outside his house, was the second such assassination in six months.
Tunisia's interior minister told lawmakers Thursday the CIA informed authorities Brahmi was a target and said there'd been a "failure" in the security services' response. He announced an investigation had been opened.
In the U.S., the CIA declined comment Thursday evening.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Brahmi's assassination pressured Tunisia's troubled Islamist-led coalition government, which came to power after the Arab Spring, but is struggling to rein in extremists.

NH College Notebook: Milford's Andrews collects ACC award
Milford's Morgan Andrews, seen in action for Notre Dame against Northwestern earlier this season, was named ACC Player of the Week for the period ending Sept. 15. (MATT CASHORE)
It's been a year filled with awards for Milford's
Morgan Andrews
and the hardware has not stopped piling up.
Andrews is a freshman midfielder on the Notre Dame women's soccer team and on Tuesday she was named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week.
She became the first Fighting Irish player to earn the award in the program's inaugural season of ACC competition.
Andrews, who also appeared on the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Week for the second consecutive week, scored the lone goal on a header in the 22nd minute of Notre Dame's 1-0 victory at No. 1 (and previously-unbeaten) North Carolina last Sunday.
"I'm thrilled and honored to have been chosen as the ACC Player of the Week," Andrews said. "This really wouldn't have happened without my teammates, and it's also just another reminder to keep working hard because we've still got a long way to go this season."
Notre Dame head coach
Randy Waldrum
was impressed with the game-winning goal.
"The movement of Morgan off the ball when she scored her header was tremendous," Waldrum said. "She initiated a run from a deep position at the top of the 18-yard box, and ran past two defenders to get in between the last pair of defenders. It was also a great service from (sophomore defender)
Von Rueden
) on the right flank, with a world-class finish."
Waldrum went on to praise Andrews' development.
"I think she is the best freshman in the ACC and she continues to get better each week," he said. "She is adjusting quickly to the college game, and is becoming an attacking catalyst for us in midfield."
For the season, Andrews ranks second on the Fighting Irish squad with four goals and nine points. She also leads the team with 25 shots (tied for 10th in the ACC) and two match-winning goals for fifth in the conference.
Andrews is a two-time winner of the Gatorade National High School Soccer Player of the Year award and was the 2013 Gatorade National High School Athlete of the Year. Andrews was the 2012 Red Rolfe New Hampshire Union Leader Female Athlete of the Year and was also an all-state kicker on the Milford football team.
Andrews is considered by many to be the top freshman in the country and her future participation with the U.S. national team seems assured.
It hasn't taken Andrews long to earn praise from her teammates as well.
"Morgan is really a triple threat in that she can create opportunities for herself and her teammates, win the 50/50 balls and find a way to put it in the back of the net," said sophomore forward
Crystal Thomas
. "Personally, I love working with her because we can just make eye contact and she'll know exactly what to do. She can play me a through-ball from 60 yards away that will land right in stride on my lead foot, or just a simple short textured pass for a quick shot. She's already brought a lot to our team in a short time and I'm excited to see what lies ahead for all of us."

The University of Rhode Island Rams picked up their first win in more than a season, breaking a 15-game losing streak with a 19-13 win over Albany last weekend.
Right in the thick of things for the Rams was senior linebacker
Dave Zocco
, a Nashua South product and former New Hampshire Union Leader Player of the Year.
Zocco had 10 tackles in the URI win, building on a nine-tackle performance in the first game of the season.
- - - - -
Jake Hawkins
, a Derry resident, 2010 Pinkerton Academy graduate and Union Leader All-State selection, is a senior on the Air Force Academy cross country team.
Hawkins was named Mountain West Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week, on Sept. 10.
It is the first weekly honor for Hawkins, who won the 5K race at last week's Colorado State Open in a career-best time of 14:55.10, helping Air Force to the CSU Open team title and a 3-0 dual meet record against the other Division I teams.
Another Derry native,
Scott Saucier
(also a Pinkerton Academy graduate) is a senior midfielder with Springfield College this season and is off to a solid start.
Through Springfield's first five games Saucier had three assists and the Pride were 4-1-0. Saucier is a four-year player and one of the captains of the Pride team this season after battling injuries during his career.
Saucier is a sports management major who has held internship positions with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats and New England Revolution. He was named Athlete of the Week by Springfield on Monday.
- - - - -
Jeff LaCoste
, a graduate of Bishop Guertin and a redshirt sophomore on the cross country team at High Point University in North Carolina, placed third in the Furman University Classic last week. LaCoste ran a 23:59 over the 8K course.
Three weeks ago, LaCoste placed fifth in the Western Carolina 5K Invitational with a time of 15:19.90.

Naked Dating Coming to VH1
It's what it sounds like.
VH1 has green-lighted a new unscripted show called Naked Dating, the network announced today. If you think that sounds like a show where nude people go on dates, you are right! "The series will play with the idea of what it really means to be naked in the search for love," according to VH1's deeply ridiculous statement. Each episode will feature a man and a woman, each with two nude suitors, and the network claims that "once everyone has stripped away the artifices of our modern world and revealed their ultimate, honest selves, the results will be surprising." Remember when Singled Out seemed scandalous because Jenny McCarthy would burp sometimes?

|can't taste food
May 16, 2013
I'm hiv positiv and recently had flu for 3 weeks and now I can't taste anything I eat lately. Like any food I eat, whether its spicy or hot I taste nothing, can it be that there's something wrong with my tongue?? Please reply
Response from Dr. Young
Hi and thanks for posting.
The tongue has a layer of cells that like skin, slough off and are replaced my new cells. Sometimes, this happens in such a way (particularly after an acute illness, like the flu) that leaves the sense of taste diminished.
There usually aren't any lasting effects of this, and with time, the tongue (and sense of taste) recovers.
Hope that helps, BY

State announces plan for tax credit transfer registry
Legislation in 2013 will enhance security and transparency of transfers of state tax credits
BATON ROUGE —The Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) and Louisiana Economic Development (LED) announced plans Tuesday to create a transferable tax credit registry that will be managed by LDR. The purpose of the registry is to enhance the security and transparency of transfers of state tax credits.
"Louisiana's tax credits have stimulated a tremendous amount of new business activity in our state and are responsible for helping to secure new investment and jobs in our economy," LDR Executive Counsel Tim Barfield said. "Most transferable tax credits are transferred in a safe and lawful manner. However, we want to further ensure that the State of Louisiana receives all the revenue to which it's entitled and to ensure that taxpayer money is protected at all times. This tax credit registry will help on all those counts."
Only 13 of Louisiana's more than 460 tax exemptions involve transferable tax credits, representing less than five percent of the $6.8 billion in tax exemptions in Fiscal Year 2011. These transferable tax credits incentivize entertainment, business investment, research and development, and other economic and community development activities.
The proposed tax credit registry would apply to any transferable tax exemption programs that continue to exist following consideration of tax reform legislation this year. The registry would be used also to address any final transfers of existing transferable tax credits associated with tax exemption programs that may be eliminated during the legislative session.
The state's proposed tax credit registry would provide a central registration system managed by LDR. It would require also timely reporting for the transfer of tax credits, including sales by the original holder of the credit and subsequent sales. Transfers would not be effective until reported. Currently, state law requires only that a notice of transfer be filed with LED and LDR within 30 days of a transfer, allowing a time lapse. The registry would give investors assurance by enabling them to verify the status of a tax credit in a central place.
LDR's Barfield added, "This transferable tax credit registry will give us more certainty about the validity of the tax credit in addition to giving taxpayers confidence that they are indeed acquiring a valid tax credit."
Among other safeguards, the state registry would confirm when tax credits have been used and are no longer valid. Therefore, the public would have access to records documenting the amount of credits issued, transferred and claimed (that is, used), and the dates and identities of the parties involved in these transactions.
"This is a common-sense mechanism to provide taxpayers and the state with transparency and security when dealing with tax credit transfers," LED Secretary Stephen Moret said.
Under this proposal, tax credit transfer fees currently collected by LED would be collected by LDR to pay for the administrative costs necessary to operate the transferable tax credit registry.

Candia man cited in Maine for illegal eel possessionBy BRENDAN CLOGSTON
Union Leader Correspondent
April 08. 2013 10:07PM
A Candia man has been cited by Maine's Marine Patrol for the illegal possession of 41 pounds of baby eels or "elvers," which sell for up to $2,000 a pound in Asia.
"This is a big one," Maine Marine Resources Director of Communications Jeff Nichols said of the arrest of Phillip Parker, 41. "It's the biggest in the history of the fishery, which goes back to the 1970s."
Demand for American elvers has skyrocketed since Japan's devastating 2011 tsunami and restrictions placed on European elver exports. They are often sold to Chinese or South Korean buyers, who rear them to adulthood and sell them for food.
Parker was issued a summons on April 3 after an investigation discovered that he intended to sell the elvers without a license. He is to appear before the Newport District Court May 29. He faces up to $2,000 in fines.
"This summons highlights for us the need for stronger laws for violations relative to the fishery," said Nichols. "There's an incredible amount of money to be made in this fishery, and the fines that are currently in place often don't amount to one pound of elvers because the fines are currently up to $2,000, and for somebody that's harvesting a lot more than that in the course of a day, the potential of a fine that doesn't even go up to $2,000 isn't a significant deterrent."
A law is being considered in the Maine legislature that would make illegal elver possession a criminal offense, rather than a civil violation, and make the current $2,000 fine mandatory.
Maine officials have cited Parker's case as an argument for the new law. Officials said he is thought to have brought the eels into Maine from another state.
Marine Patrol sold the elvers confiscated from Parker for more than $60,000. Nichols said the money will be held pending the outcome of the case. Officers also seized Parker's 1996 Chevy 1500 truck and a U-Haul trailer, as well as equipment for the storage and transportation of live elvers.
Maine is among two states in the country, along with South Carolina, that have an elver fishery.
In 2012, 18,000 pounds of elvers was hauled, pulling in a total around $38 million.
With such profits to be made, officials said, rampant poaching has resulted, officials said. Maine Marine Patrol recorded over 300 documented violations in 2012.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently considering listing the species as endangered, which could result in the banning of all American eel fisheries.

Interviews with People Who Make a Difference: Chinese Medicine in Modern America
Interview with Jing Nuan Wu LAc
as interviewed by Daniel Redwood DC
When people in Washington D.C. think of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, the first name that comes to mind is Dr. Jing Nuan Wu. He has practiced Chinese medicine in the District since1973, and has proved to be a skillful, articulate, and very persistent advocate for this ancient healing art, through times when doing so was not necessarily easy or popular.
Dr. Wu is the Chairman of the D.C. Medical Advisory Board on Acupuncture, a position he calls "one of the most frustrating jobs of my career." Despite the frustrations inherent in navigating through the murky waters of the world-renowned D.C. government bureaucracy, Dr. Wu has managed over the past ten years to bring the ship safely into port-acupuncture by licensed non-physicians is now legal in Washington.
Perhaps his most meaningful and impressive accomplishment is the creation of the Green Cross, an inner city clinic for the treatment of drug abuse with acupuncture and Chinese medicine, located on U Street in Washington. Without any government funding, Wu and a dedicated staff developed this facility with sweat from the brow and love from the heart. Their work at Green Cross is admired far and wide.
In this interview with Dr. Daniel Redwood, Dr. Wu shares his insights on the causes of drug abuse, and its effects on society as a whole. He also offers a foreboding commentary on the effects that widespread drug usage has on social stability, drawing a comparison between what is happening today in the United States and what happened in China earlier in this century, when a substantial proportion of the population was addicted.
Wu is a translator of various classics of Chinese medicine, including Ling Shu (The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), and Yi Jing (The Book of Changes), published by the University of Hawaii Press. He can be reached at the Taoist Health Institute, 2141 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20007.
Jing Nuan Wu Interview
: What led to your decision to become an acupuncturist? Do you feel that you have found your true calling?
: That's a long and interesting question. I had an extreme crisis in my life, and one night in Asia my ancestors came to me and said, "It's time for you to do service." I had been commissioned to write a book on Chinese medicine and, when I realized it worked, I said "forget about writing the book, why don't you do it!" So that's what happened. Instead of writing about it, I began to practice it.
: Are there any parallels in Chinese history which you feel relate to the current drug crisis in America and the Western world? Is it truly a crisis?
: That's the reason why I started Green Cross seven years ago. I could see striking parallels between what happened in China in the middle of the 19th Century and what's happening in the United States today. Perhaps in the decline of every great empire, drugs may have in one form or another (whether it was alcohol or other drugs) played an important part.
Once a certain percentage of the population becomes addicted, the entire culture usually is lost, because it not only affects the lower classes, it affects the so-called upper classes. The most disturbing sign I have seen of that over the last number of years, is that I know the outstanding senior in one of the suburban high schools locally here in Washington was dealing drugs. And he was never caught. He is now in an Ivy League college, and I think that that type of thing bodes very ill for the future.
: How high a percentage is needed?
: About ten per cent is the magic number, and we're very close to that. I also treat, in my private practice, people of means and power. I've had patients come in who have spent as much as $100,000 a year on cocaine. This type of statistic never is included in the statistics used for drug use, because of course these people would never admit to being involved.
: So you feel the statistics on drug abuse are vastly understated?
: It's like taking statistics in any population. Who's going to reply?
: Why do you feel people use or abuse mind-altering substances? Is there such a thing as non-abusive usage of these drugs?
: My own belief now is that it has become such a great problem because of the loss of spiritual values in the community. If you look at the background of mind-altering drugs, at one time or another they were always used in spiritual ritual. But without the ritual, the spirit also is forgotten. Even tobacco was used in smoking, but with ritualistic purpose. Modern secular society has done away with all of that, and so I think we have a very real problem.
: Do you feel that we as a society are moving any closer to understanding the roots of the drug crisis?
: I think that, in fact the general population is beginning to understand it. I think that government authorities, and the bureaucracy that we have asked to deal with drugs, gets further and further away from the truth. Because it already is a "drug treatment establishment," and they really are there to maintain their jobs rather than to look for something that works. It's like the National Cancer Institute - they've spent billions upon billions of dollars and really haven't found anything. But they still want to use the same old methodologies because that's the way they think.
: What are your thoughts on something like the methadone maintenance program?
: I think the methadone maintenance programs are a complete sham. If one goes back to the original research that the Rockefeller Institutes did, and looks at what happened in the Yale University reports on the raw research, the conclusions are completely antagonistic to what the raw research showed. I did that, and I was horrified.
: What did the raw research show?
: The raw research showed that there was liver damage, that there were all sorts of side effects to methadone which were very significant. That was whitewashed, as far as I'm concerned, in the original reports. There is now, unfortunately, a methadone establishment.
The unconceivable thing that is happening right now, is that because there is no detox procedure for crack cocaine, the drug treatment programs in localities are in fact using methadone as a downer to get people off crack, which in every stretch of the imagination is crazy.
: Is it more difficult to withdraw from methadone than from some of these other substances?
: I think it's harder to withdraw from methadone than it is from heroin.
: In the use of acupuncture treatment to help substance abusers withdraw from their habits, which substances have you had the most success with, and which have proved the most difficult?
: It's not so much substance as length of time. Anyone who has been a substance abuser for 20 years is going to find it very difficult to get off, simply because that has permeated his entire lifestyle. The people we find that come off the most quickly are, let's say, young women who want to start forming a family. The realize that if they continue that they are going to damage their children. The problem is, the mothers who are still abusing drugs usually have gotten so far into the habit that they don't care anymore, and their children are being born defective.
The other side of the coin that is so horrendous is that the entire drug treatment establishment is mostly male. So even if you read the guides for trying to get money in the field, they are all directed towards males. There is nothing in there for females. Or for Hispanics or Latinos, for instance. We have patients come in, who want to come in to see us, who have children. Our receptionist plays with their children while they're in getting treatment. But almost no drug treatment facility has a nursery or has child care as part of it. They don't think of it as necessary.
The other thing that is horrendous is that should a woman say that she is a drug addict, then the chances are that her children could be placed in foster homes. This part of the problem no one has paid any attention to. Besides which, the truly addicted woman, who has gone beyond the sense of caring, is the mother of addicted children, and now of addicted HIV-positive children. The cost to each of those human beings is incalculable.
: Have you sometimes had the feeling that you are sticking your finger into the dike?
: Every three weeks I say that, you know. (Laughter).
: And yet you continue.
: Well, I and my associates at Green Cross are doing the work because we have hoped that it would be an example for other people to try to do the same thing. The problem is, it's required a great deal of money, and a great deal of dedication. I know of many groups through the country that have tried to do what we have done, and they've not been successful because of the lack of one or the other. I can't tell you how much dedication it really does take. The staff has burned out. We're basically on our second group of staff in seven years.
: Have there been any examples of responses by government or people in the community to attempt expand upon or duplicate what you're doing?
: Mike Smith [Michael Smith, M.D.] runs the famous clinic up at Lincoln [Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, New York], and they're seeing 200 or 300 people a day. But they're state-financed, thank God. We've done this all on our own. We've had no funding from either city or state or federal governments. This may change next year, but at this moment I wouldn't count on it. Every time they ask for bids on alternative procedures, usually we find that it is simply another methadone clinic under another guise.
: Do you have to spend a lot of time raising money?
: Luckily, our practitioners work for very little. (Laughter). So what's happened is that no one works full-time except two of the administrative staff. Everybody else works part-time. They make money outside of this work, so that they can keep body and soul together. I subsidize the clinic through my personal work, and one or two of my friends have put in substantial amounts of money.
: You are the chairman of the Acupuncture Advisory Committee for the District of Columbia, which advises the Board of Medicine on the regulation and licensing of acupuncturists in the District. What thoughts do you have on the current legal status of acupuncture in the Mid-Atlantic region, and in the United States in general. How might it be improved?
: I think that this has been one of the more frustrating jobs of my career. Interestingly, the Board of Medicine and we agreed early on with regard to the guidelines. It then took us three years, and five lawyers later, to put out basically twelve pages of rules and regulations. That's because D.C. is mired in a system of bureaucracy that is impossible to understand.
That impossibility stems from one critical lack-that they have no one in the city bureaucracy that can type! So we ended up in a situation where the lawyers get so frustrated that after five months they quit. In dealing with this, it wasn't until our fifth lawyer that we finally got the rules and regulations into a piece where we could publish them. It's that type of procedure which I think is analogous to the drug situation.
: Could you expand more on that analogy?
: That there is a lack of coherence to any system in this society at this moment. It's lost its spiritual value. Government is meant to do certain jobs. It no longer is doing those jobs. People are simply taking letters that come in during the day, filing them in their drawer and forgetting them. There is no value to their work. So this has been the problem.
At times in the past there was value to your religion. there was value to your family, there was value to your job. Right now it looks as if all of those values have been lost. So I think people use mind-altering substances in an attempt to find value. "It makes me feel better." "It makes me feel great!"
Instead of feeling rotten and a simpleton, or worse.
: So it's a misguided response to a valid and life-affirming desire.
: I think so.
: Is there any valid reason, from your point of view, that acupuncturists should have to practice under medical supervision. And a related question: has there any major problem with the sort of independent practice laws that prevail in California and elsewhere in the West?
: As far as I know, there have been very few lawsuits brought against acupuncturists, and when they have come up, it has been through the stupidity and negligence of the individual acupuncturist in most instances. The suits have not basically had to do with medical malfeasance. On the other hand, I think that we have an interim period at this moment where many acupuncturists, I feel, probably would do just as well working with a regular M.D.
I have worked with one in my practice for the last 18 years, and I certainly don't feel that I've been abused by my associates. In that sense, I think we offer the best features of both allopathic medicine and Chinese medicine. However, I think it's perfectly all right to practice independently, like in Hawaii and California. But you have to understand that the Boards of Medicine and the legal authorities in most of the states in the United States where there is no large Asian population, have no familiarity with alternative forms of medicine.
: What do you feel are the major strengths and the major weaknesses of Western medicine?
: The major strength is emergency medicine. There is no better emergency medicine that has ever existed on the face of the earth. Certain anatomical and material diagnostic techniques are miraculous. The use of modern medications for pathogens is far superior to any we have had in the past. When there is a real bug, modern Western allopathic medicine usually has the tools to kill it.
It falls down greatly when it has to do with metabolic illnesses and illnesses that are engendered by what traditional medicines throughout the world would consider disbalances within the body system itself. Endocrinologists are the modern doctors who practice the closest to the way traditional medical people would practice. So too little or too much of a specific substance disorients the body and causes illness.
The other area where it does not do well is where there is not a causal feature known, where a diagnosis cannot be made. If you can't make a diagnosis, it doesn't exist. So with something like pain, which has no definition in Western medicine, things like acupuncture work very, very well.
: What do you feel are the major strengths and major weaknesses of Oriental medicine?
: I think the major strength will come in what I call the physio-psychic ailments, which Western medicine turned around and called psychosomatic. There are problems which I think are engendered by disbalance of the physical system that affect the mental, which are little understood in Western medicine. They thought, because of Freud and the development of psychotherapy, it was the reverse. But I think that many times, for example, you're of a bilious nature because you have something wrong with your bile, not because you're emotionally angry. I think that's an area where Chinese medicine can shine. Modern medicine now calls it the psychoimmune factor, but really the psychoimmune factor is nothing more than psychosomatic ideas under a different name.
: And the weak points of Oriental medicine?
: The weak point of Oriental medicine is that it never developed a germ theory. If there had been a Pasteur in Chinese medicine, then it would be complete. Unhappily, there wasn't one, and that's why in China today too, Western medicine is taught side by side with traditional medicine.
: How can a culture such as ours most effectively integrate healing arts practices from another part of the world, which are based on an alternative paradigm for understanding life and health?
: I think we're going to be forced to do it, because this system is working very well on certain levels, and has lost its effectiveness on others. The whole Taoist approach to life, which is a way of life and a way of living, rather than looking for outside standards, forces you to create inside standards. That's always much more difficult, because it's much easier to go with the crowd. But the teachings in this area are very profound, and they'll gradually take hold.
: How widespread do you imagine acupuncture will become in the West in your lifetime?
: The problem with acupuncture is that it allows people who are not very good to get results. It's a very forgiving therapy. Consequently, the
Nei Ching,
the Yellow Emperor's Book, and also other classical Chinese medical literature, says that acupuncture becomes faddish, that it has a great growth and then it falls into disuse, because many people get into it, and practice without qualification. That's my fear. Not that the standards should be more rigorous within academia, or that the testing procedures will weed those out . . . sometimes the people who can get the best marks on written tests are the worst practitioners. So this brings up the old problem again-that a system of apprenticeship is probably by far the better system to go through, but in its way, it's nonefficient.
: In terms of how many people it can turn out?
: Right. And also, it's far more rigorous in certain hands-on work. I would hate to have a research doctor be my general physician. And so that's one of the problems, and one of the warnings within Taoist practice. You know: "Fear those who get the best marks on tests." (Laughter).
: Do you find differences in the way acupuncture is practiced by professional acupuncturists as opposed to physicians who have taken several weekend courses?
: I think that the physician who practices acupuncture should be subjected to the same criteria to get licensed to do acupuncture, as acupuncturists. I can't practice as an M.D., but I certainly feel I know as much about things like endocrinology as anybody that's out there. But I can't take 250 hours of it and practice. So I think that to that extent, the same standard should be held by all. That's why, in D.C., I insisted on a practical test for M.D.'s as well as acupuncturists.
: What role do herbs play in Chinese medicine as practiced in the West?
: As practiced in the West, it still is a very minor part, unfortunately, because the authorities jailed a couple of practitioners about 15 years ago in San Francisco. It's perfectly all right for herbalists to use herbs on people of the same race, it seems. Or if I give herbs to black people downtown, no one seems to care. But should I start giving them to Caucasians, all sorts of alarm bells ring. Luckily, within the last ten years (1980-1990), that's changed a great deal. This is very important, because acupuncture is a small fraction of Chinese medicine. By far, the greater part of Chinese medicine lies in its herbal therapies.
: To what degree do you use herbs in your practice?
: I've gradually increased my use of herbal formulas in the last five years, to where it's about a third of my practice now. On the other hand, I feel that I'm a very competent acupuncturist, and even though I started as an herbalist, I felt I could not continue because of the horrendous legal restrictions on the use of herbs in the United States. So I've only gotten back to it in the last five or six years.
: Do you use standardized formulas, or do you do a personalized preparation for the particular individual?
: I use anything that I think will be efficacious. If I can use a standard formula, and it's inexpensive, I'll use it. On other patients where I think a much more complex solution is necessary, I'll go ahead and do that, and many times I'll even consult other people within my own staff to see if we can come up with an herbal formula that meets the problem.
: To what extent has acupuncture been validated through scientific research? What areas for such study would you like to see pursued?
: This is a very difficult problem, because you cannot do a double-blind study. There's no such thing as a placebo point. In Chinese theory, any trauma produces a superficial, or a temporary, acupuncture point. So besides the points on the major channels of energy, any time you kick somebody, that's an acupuncture point. Any time you prick somebody with a needle, that becomes an acupuncture point.
Double blinds are theoretically, as far as I'm concerned, complete nonsense anyway. Because to try to get hard scientific fact within a biological system of testing, is impossible. No biological organism is the same - ever! You change from minute to minute, you change from day to day, you change from hour to hour, you change from month to month.
I feel that all you're trying to do there is statistical averages, and that the background is very soft. The so-called double blind is not, as far as I'm concerned, very rigorous. You can use that type of modality for physics, but for any biological sciences, I think that it's the blind leading the blind.
I do think that what you can do, is that you can get applied research where you can say, "Here's a group doing this kind or work, and there's a group doing some other type of therapy, and at the end of six months or a year, we'll see how they stack up." We tried to get this within proposals we've written to the government for acupuncture and drugs, comparing it to methadone. We've been shot down each time.
: Any reasons given?
: No reasons are ever given. Regarding research on acupuncture that has been conducted, that there are significant things on a biochemistry basis that have been discovered. There's no question that there is a peptide change, a chemical change, within the brain. There is no question that there is an adrenal response. All you have do do is prick somebody with a needle, and you'll see the chi response that the Chinese are always talking about. This is normally a histamine response. You either get a welting, or a change of coloration around the skin, or you'll feel some type of sensation. According to Western medicine, that's usually an adrenal response.
: Am I hearing you correctly? Are you saying that double blind studies are not even valid and worthwhile in testing patient response to medications?
: Yes. The whole idea of the double blind study is fraught with holes, because no organism is the same.
: How then can a society distinguish between therapies which are useful and therapies which are not useful?
: I think that applied research is the way that you have to go. And, in fact, that
the way used for modern pharmacological substances, because even after they have been approved by the FDA, it takes years before you know what the side effects are. Then, the general population starts to scream about it . . . And it's only after a number of years that you really know what's going on.
If you read the PDR's [Physician's Desk Reference, the most widely used medical drug manual] you'll realize that the double blinds really were meaningless. They weren't done on people who were 65. Almost every older person in this country is overmedicated, because the standards used for drug testing are based on studies of healthy 30-year old individuals.
: I was not aware of that. You're saying that double blind studies exclude the elderly?
: Right.
: That's outrageous.
: They don't try them on children either. You see so many elderly people walking around in a fog, simply because they've been overmedicated. The doctor has been following the research, which has been done on people who are not in the same situation as his patients.
: So you feel it would be important for governmental bodies to allot an increasing portion of research funds for applied research, including applied research in holistic areas such as acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
: Absolutely, I think applied research is really the only way . . . because it's always going to be a statistical format. 20 percent of the population is not going to respond favorably to any therapy, no matter how great you are in your specialty. There will be a certain percentage of people who will come in to see you that you cannot help. That's why it's acupuncture and moxibustion [a method of heating herbs directly over an acupuncture point]. Even there, there is an alternative, because many times there will be cases where acupuncture will not help, when heat will. I think that that's written into the nature of survival of the species.

Gamblers Beware: The Early Odds for Anderson Silva vs. Nick Diaz Are…Not That Crazy, Actually
(Wait…Nick Diaz IS WHITE?!!! via r/MMA user joenottoast)
The MMAsphere suffered a collective Scanners.gif headsplosion when it was announced that Nick Diaz would be returning from a brief hiatus/retirement to face Anderson Silva at UFC 183 in January. While most of us were undeniably stoked at the idea of seeing Diaz Stockton Slap the G.O.A.T and/or seeing Silva unleash a Hadouken on Diaz's jabroni ass, there were a few naysayers out there who were quick to dub this fight a "freak show" or "squash match."
"Are you kidding me? Silva's going to murder this chump!" said one Twitter expert whose name I cannot recall.
"Pssh, Silva is done. The only thing left to do is have Diaz beat him into retirement," said another, angrier group of tweeters in response.
And indeed, with Silva's leg and Diaz's mind remaining in constant question, the superfight has fiercely divided MMA fans who mistakenly fancy themselves psychics. But the important question, as is always the important question in these cases, is: What do the bookies think?
The answer might surprise you…Read More DIGG THIS

Help us extend the functionality of our iPad equipment renting application for our hire store!
Költségvetés $250-750 AUD
Hi Freelancers,
We are looking for a talented web and mobile developer to help us continue with the development of our iPad application.
We are a small surf hire and rental outlet that has previously had an app developed to cater for the hiring process and allow for us to easily manage this through a backend.
Our previous developer is no longer available for work and therefore we are looking for a new developer to take over from his work and extend the apps functionality.
The main additions for the second phase of development are:
• Payment Integration (Stripe & Paypal)
• Customer Lookup
• Twillio & Email reminder integration
• Damage Reporting
The second phase of developments specifications have been added as a file and contain the specifics of this phase of development. I have also added the file for version one so that you can understand how the app functions. All of the requirements in the first phase of development have been completed.
The app currently has a admin panel and this URL will be supplied to the winning bidder. The admin panel allows for the input of information and will not be extended in this phase of development.
The app has been built using the following technologies:
• MySQL
• PhoneGap
• Ionic Framework
The successful applicant will be provided with access to the server, apple account and provided with the source files for the application.
If you would like access to the app before starting please let me know and will add you iPad to the devices.
We have three further phases of development planned so it would be great if you are available for work for approximately six months although you don't have to be committed solely to this project.
Please provide examples of hybrid app development or website development that you have completed with your application.
If you have any further questions regarding past development or in general, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you
