Randi explores and exposes what he believes to be the outrageous deception that has been promoted widely in the media. Unafraid to call researchers to account for their failures and impostures, Randi tells us that we have been badly served by scientists who have failed to follow the procedures required by their training and traditions. Here, he shows us how what he views as sloppy research has been followed by rationalizations of evident failures, and we see these errors and misrepresentations clearly pointed out. Mr. Randi provides us with a compelling and convincing document that will certainly startle and enlighten all who read it.
The digital edition features a new preface by James Randi.

The Faith Healers
James Randi, the celebrated magician, has written a damning indictment of the faith-healing practices of the leading televangelists and others who claim divine healing powers. Randi and his team of researchers attended scores of "miracle services" and often were pronounced "healed" of the nonexistent illnesses they claimed. They viewed first-hand the tragedies resulting from the wide-spread belief that faith healing can cure every conceivable disease. The ministries, they discovered, were rife with deception, chicanery, and often outright fraud.
Self-anointed ministers of God convince the gullible that they have been healed - and that they should pay for the service. The Faith Healersexamines in depth the reasons for belief in faith healing and the catastrophic results for the victims of these hoaxes. Included in Randi's book are profiles of a highly profitable "psychic dentist", and the "Vatican-approved wizard."

Unnatural Acts
by Robert Todd
Carroll Unnatural Acts is for people who want to improve their thinking, become more accurate in their beliefs and more reasonable in their actions, and who are tired of being fooled by others.This book is about natural and unnatural thinking, and how the way we think affects everything we do. Natural thinking is instinctive, intuitive, quick and dirty. It works pretty well most of the time, but it can get us into trouble. We can deceive ourselves into believing what's not true or even what goes against our own self-interest, if we're not careful. And manipulators who understand natural thinking can use that understanding to hoodwink us into believing what isn't true or doing what they want us to do. You can reduce the chances of being duped by learning how to think in unnatural ways. I hope this book helps you do that.

Brenna's voice is so full and powerful it is like there is a heavy-set southern gospel singer bottled up in her diaphragm. To say she has pipes would be an understatement, she is a plumber working those pipes and making them squeal, rattle, and roar. She has been performing since the age of 11 and to see her comfort on stage it is no surprise.
"This brazen blond beauty is not afraid to follow her instincts and take risks; playing gospel in whiskey bars and rearranging theme tunes at will. Whitaker's voice will make you remember why the classics endure." -- The Sun
"Brenna Whitaker takes the stage, takes control and takes your breath away. Not to be missed." The L.A. Weekly
"Brenna is one of the finest singers of our generation." -- Michael Buble
"No one is rising more quickly than Miss Brenna Whitaker. The Kansas City native evokes thoughts of a contemporary Peggy Lee or Etta James."

For 50 years Peggy Wallace Kennedy has lived in the shadow cast by her father, Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, when he stood in a doorway and tried to stop two black students from integrating the University of Alabama.
That single episode in the American civil rights movement - his infamous "stand in the schoolhouse door" - attached an asterisk to her name, she says. It's a permanent mark she can never erase, despite her own history as a moderate Democrat who gave early support to candidate Barack Obama for president in 2008.
"If you're George Wallace's daughter, people think the asterisk will always be there. `Oh, your father stood in the schoolhouse door,'" she said in a recent interview.
Kennedy was just 13 at the time. Her mother, Lurleen Wallace, had whisked her away to a lake fishing cabin with her three siblings that day, so they would be nowhere near the wrenching historic drama in which her father played a leading role.
George Wallace, a pragmatic politician and a populist, may or may not have been a true believer in segregation - even though he took office in 1963 with a pledge: "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."
On June 11, 1963, he stood in the doorway of the University of Alabama's Foster Auditorium to keep Vivian Malone Jones and James Hood from enrolling for classes.
Wallace stepped aside after President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard.
Jones and Hood enrolled, and Wallace became a national political figure who would run for president the following year.
On the 50th anniversary, all the major players - Wallace, Jones, Hood and Nicholas Katzenbach, the Kennedy administration's representative in Tuscaloosa - are dead.
Wallace died in 1998 after serving four terms as governor, but never once did he discuss the events of June 11, 1963, with his daughter.
Kennedy says his motivations then remain a mystery to her even now.
"He never talked with me about it. I don't even know that he talked with my mother about it. I never heard them have a conversation about the schoolhouse door stand at all," Kennedy said.
Looking back 50 years, Peggy Kennedy recalled that she was a young teenager who was terrified about what might happen to her father amid the tensions and potential violence of the conflict. And as the years went by, somehow it was just a subject they could not discuss.
"When the subject was broached it was brushed aside," she told an audience last March.
She speculates that maybe he was just keeping a political promise, but she can't say for sure.
Culpepper Clark, author of the 1993 book "The Schoolhouse Door: Segregation's Last Stand at the University of Alabama," believes Wallace's daughter is correct in her assumption.
"Wallace clearly bonded with and identified with white voters in Alabama and he kept a promise," Clark said.
Kennedy said her father's actions were difficult for her to understand because her mother, who also became governor, had raised her not to think that she was better than anyone else.
"At that time I just didn't understand why he would just stand and not let two African-Americans enter a university," she said.
But she said the episode marked an irreversible change for the Wallace family.
"That day was kind of the end of our hope for a simple life. It was really the beginning of our living under the shadow of the schoolhouse door for my whole life."
She visited her ailing father frequently in the last years before his death. The conversations were short, due to his health, and he wanted to talk about politics, not the past. After all, "politics was the family business," she said.
But she never found out why he felt he had to stand in the schoolhouse door. "I definitely regret that," she said.
What Kennedy does know is that her father changed after an assassination attempt during his 1972 presidential campaign. A bullet fired by Arthur Bremer - whose self-proclaimed intent was to assassinate either Wallace or then-President Richard Nixon - left Wallace paralyzed from the waist down and in constant pain for the rest of his life.
"What it did for him, he realized how much he had made the African-American community suffer, and he realized he needed to be forgiven, genuinely forgiven," she said.
Wallace went to black churches to apologize for his segregationist views and won a fourth term as governor in 1982 with widespread black support. He honored Jones and Hood and welcomed civil rights leaders like Jesse Jackson into his Montgomery home.
"He was a different man when he passed away. I can assure you of that," Kennedy said.
Kennedy is also a different woman. For years, she stayed in the background as her husband, lawyer Mark Kennedy, rose through the political ranks to become a justice on the Alabama Supreme Court. Only after his retirement did she step out of the shadows, first by endorsing Obama in 2008. She told voters that America still needed healing and "having Barack Obama to lead will give us back our power to heal."
Then in 2009, she attended events in Selma to remember "Bloody Sunday" - the day in 1965 when her father's state troopers attacked voting rights marchers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
In Selma, she introduced U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder - Jones' brother-in-law - and they shared a wish that Jones had lived to see the moment. Then she marched across the bridge holding hands with U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, who was severely beaten during "Bloody Sunday."
Kennedy said she crossed many bridges in her life, but none as important as that one.
Last March, she joined Lewis and other members of Congress on a civil rights pilgrimage at the University of Alabama, and she walked through the same wood-and-glass doors her father sought to block. The daughter of the governor who promised "segregation forever" saw a campus with a student body that is almost 13 percent black.
Kennedy, 63, said she has tried in recent years to step out of the shadow of the schoolhouse door and show that families can change.
"Maybe I gave somebody a little bit of hope," she said.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Tech soccer team will make its way north this weekend for a pair of Ohio Valley Conference match-ups and look to bounce back from a tough 3-2 OT loss to Eastern Illinois on senior day this past Sunday.
The Golden Eagles will start things off with a 6 p.m. CT tilt under the lights at Morehead State on Friday. The team will then travel over to Eastern Kentucky for a Sunday match at 12 p.m.
Tech is coming off a weekend that saw it earn its first OVC win of the season on Friday, a 1-0 shutout of SIU Edwardsville. Freshman goalkeeper Jordan Brown had a career-best 14 saves in the match, leading the defensive effort for the Golden Eagles.
Senior Sarah Gawthrop added the lone goal of the game off of an Ellie Iaciofano shot that ricocheted of the crossbar right to Gawthrop's zone. Iaciofano was credited with the assist.
On Friday, the Golden Eagles jumped out to an 2-0 lead with two Iaciofano goals. EIU fought it's way back, forcing an overtime period and eventually knocking in the game-winner in the 96th minute.
Brown recorded nine more saves in the contest, giving her 23 saves for the weekend and propelling her to second in the OVC in saves and first in saves per game. She now sits just one behind the league leader and has climbed to 16th in the nation in saves.
Iaciofano moved her goals total up to eight on the season, good for first in the OVC. She also brought her points total up to 18 on the year, also good for a first place ranking in the OVC. She ranks in the top 50 of the nation in both goals and points.
"We're sitting right in the thick of things," said head coach Daniel Brizard. "There's about six teams all sitting two to three points apart right now. Going into the weekend, we're looking to grab six points with a couple of victories. It's going to be hard. Both teams are quality and are coming off successful weekends. We're going to look to bring some strong soccer into those places and come back with a couple of wins."
Scouting Morehead State
- Morehead is 1-8-1 in 2012, picking up its first victory last weekend in Belmont.
- The Eagles are 1-1 in the OVC this season, including a 2-1 overtime loss to EKU.
- Friday's match will mark the 17th meeting between TTU and Morehead, with the Golden Eagles holding an 8-6-2 advantage.
- Kimberly Golden and Macy Cobb both lead the Eagles with two goals apiece this season.
- Elizabeth Floyd and Hannah Seeman have split time in goal this season, with Floyd starting seven matches and gathering the lone win for the Eagles this season.
Daniel Brizard on the Eagles
"Morehead is 1-8-1, but that's not a true testament to their playing ability. They're going to be strong and will look to take advantage of corners during the match. We know this and we just have to play to the best of our abilities and take our chances when we have them. They're tough to play at home on turf under the lights. They just grabbed their first win of the season and are looking to gain off that momentum."
Scouting Eastern Kentucky
- Eastern Kentucky enters Sunday's match with a 5-4-2 record.
- The Colonels are 1-0-1 in conference play this season, including a 1-1 tie on Friday to Belmont.
- EKU owns a 4-0-1 record at home this season, fairing well against those who make the trip to Richmond.
- Eastern Kentucky owns a slight advantage coming into the eighth match-up in the series, a 4-3-0 tilt.
- Nikki Donnelly leads the Colonels in scoring this season, racking up five goals and an assist in 11 games.
- Goalkeeper Erika Wolfer has allowed 14 goals this year while stopping 42 attempts.
Daniel Brizard on the Colonels
"EKU is probably one of the more aggressive and physical teams we will play this season. The team is very defensive minded and will look to counter quickly and play some long balls. We're looking to apply some pressure with our front line and not allow them to play too many long balls."

Build a Paper Aeroplane
Paper Airplane modeling can be an interesting and inexpensive hobby. You only need simple materials such as recycled papers, unused cardboards or files and stationeries to get started.
We have a number of paper model airplanes that you can download for free. They ranged from historic WWI to WWII to the modern fighter aircraft models. These paper airplanes design templates were created by Mr C. Gordan Huisman from Canada. They were designed specifically for beginners.
These paper airplane models templates are suitable for schools to use as handicraft activities or school project presentation.
On top of that, you can also learn how to fold paper airplanes by watching the videos I have created.
Green modelling idea : We like to encourage the use of recycled paper, cardboard or unused hard paper files. All the samples you see here were made using recycled files materials and papers.

Not a fan of praise, Roland Marbaugh explains why he never accepted The Purple Heart, despite one doctor's insistence.
After a short stint stateside, Roland Marbaugh is ordered to the Third Marines, but when he shows up, they're nowhere to be found.
With his training complete, Marbaugh heads down to Panama with the J. Fred and Banana Fleet.
Roland Marbaugh's experience as a marine begins at Parris Island for training.
After training, Marbaugh heads to Sea School and then to the J. Fred Talbott for duty.
For his second overseas assignment, Marbaugh is sent to Samoa, close, but not in the action in the Pacific.
Marbaugh is assigned to a new company, but the new company is filled with all of his old friends.
Instead of heading into combat, the Third Marines are detoured again, this time to New Zealand.
The Third Marines are finally headed into combat, this time to Bougainville in the Pacific.
After a few years as a civilian, Marbaugh is called back into action for the Korean War and has to leave his young family.
Marbaugh's time in Korea continues on, during which they face freezing cold and intense fighting.
After deadly skirmishes with the Chinese, Maurbaugh's unit is forced to retreat from Yudam-Ni.
After fighting so hard in Korea, Marbaugh's previous physical injuries start to take a toll and he leaves his men and makes his way to Japan.
Marbaugh finally is able to return home after his time overseas. He remained in the Marines for a while before finally retiring.
His flight home had to circle around after an aborted landing and Bob Brockish thought for a moment, am I going to survive Korea and then die here? He was on his way home for Christmas and then on to Quantico, where hoped to become a commissioned Marine officer.
Ben Malcom recalls a mission to infiltrate and destroy a 76mm gun hidden inside a North Korean mountain. During the cover of night on July 14, 1952, Malcom managed to sneak 120 guerilla fighters onto the mountain and into the bunker, and describes the combat that ensued.
His memories of the Battle of Horseshoe Ridge are noise, light and smell. There was so much ordnance and so many flares that you didn't need lights. Bob Brockish relates these impressions and remembers the men lost. Decades later, there are still expeditions to locate the remains of the missing. Part 3 of 3.
It was called Hill 205. The small Ranger company was told to take and hold the hill. They did that as long as they could but Ralph Puckett and his men had to go through hell to do it. Waves of Chinese attackers had him calling in very close artillery strikes. He lay there, unable to move after three wounds, watching the Chinese bayonet wounded Rangers. Then two figures charged up the hill.
Ron Clark remembers when the Chinese would attack and how the strategies between American and Chinese differed. He also explains one detailed account of an American casualty during battle and his own major injury that permanently disabled his eyesight.
When it was time to act, Bill Minnich came through. On a night watch, as he caught sight of a Chinese patrol, the only question was, rifle or grenade? When the unit was pinned down and no one responded to the order to move out, he cussed them all out and charged forward. And when he fell wounded, it was a sure thing that he would get up and scramble through the bullets landing at his feet.
After his missions in Japan, Owen came back to the states for a brief period as a plane guard for aircraft carriers with the Valley Forge. His ship acted as underwater security for the pilots in the air. If a plane went into the water, it was his team's job to rescue the stranded pilot. As soon as the North Koreans crossed the 38th parallel, the US declared that it was going to help the south. Owen and his team helped aid in the Korean War.
It was like sandlot baseball. The replacement Marines were divvied up by the platoons and fire teams and Bob Brockish was the last guy to go. He had been driving an ambulance in the rear, but now he would be in a foxhole on the front line.
He was tired of war and service, but he still found himself trying to get back in the Marine Corps. Emory Ashurst had to settle for the Army, but it worked out for 17 more years serving his country. In Korea he was a communications specialist and was fortunate to face no combat.
After a bit of relaxation back in the states after World War II, Koshewa was recalled in to report to Springfield, Massachusetts for the start of the Korean War. In Springfield, he had to undergo navigation refresher courses in preparation. His Korean missions mostly involved transportation, such as dropping off leaflets or agents behind the lines. Unlike in World War II, a lot of the times the enemy did not have radar to help them shoot down US planes. Because of this, Koshewa's missions became much easier to carry out.
During the Korean War, Bob Owen took on many responsibilities in the Navy. He joined Task Force 95 and helped the South Koreans intimidate the North during negotiation periods between the two. His team continued to help pilots that were shot down, but at one point there was an incident where they accidentally shot down a friendly pilot who had lost the ability to communicate that he wasn't a threat.
After the Big War, Andy Carpenter joined the reserves and got married. As his first anniversary approached, he was recalled for Korea. This was a rough time with a baby on the way. But still he went to the frozen misery near the Manchurian border and became part of the epic retreat to the South. (This interview made possible with the support of FRANK LEYENDEKKER.)
The Corps put out a call to NCO's in Korea asking for applicants to become commissioned officers. Bob Brockish applied and was interviewed and then heard nothing about it. So it was back to moving hill to hill, dodging enemy mortar fire.
After successfully completing his training and studying up in radar school, Bob Owen was finally ready to go aboard the USS Rupertus. On board, he was always kept busy. His main duty was to monitor the destroyer's radar, but was also instructed to join his team in shore bombardment on San Clemente Island. His first assignment was to make a trip to China, where the ship encountered a chaotic typhoon and much of the equipment on the ship was lost as a result.
Just as the Marine Corps was releasing Bob Brockish from active duty, North Korea invaded the South. Soon he was at a newly bustling Camp Pendleton, training for deployment to the peninsula. His new cold weather gear proved to be a problem on exercises in Southern California.
Nearing the end of the Korean War, Bob Owen was sent back home for the second time and was accepted into Tennessee Tech college. Following that, he landed a job working radar for the Federal Aviation Administration. After spending many years in the states, he was very flattered when he found out that his grandson wanted to join the military too to follow in his footsteps. To conclude, Owen leaves us with his sentimental final thoughts about his interactions with the Korean people.
Following training and boot camp, Bob Owen attended radar school so he could learn to detect and communicate with other ships while overseas. Before that, however, he was given two weeks with his family for the holidays and remembers a nasty bus accident that happened on the way home.
It was a historic day for the Marines, the first air assault with Marines placed at the front with helicopters. Bob Brockish didn't make that ride but his unit relieved those troops and he couldn't believe what they were complaining about. As he looked around the terrain, he wondered why there was apparent road construction on the top of a ridge.
Despite having a few initial doubts in the first few days, Bob Owen never really regretted joining the Navy. Having spent his early life in seminary school, he ultimately made the decision for himself that he was not a preacher and wanted to instead join the military.
From the rear at the Battle of Pork Chop Hill, Sgt. Gilbert Howland sent in the worst casualty report of his life. The tenacious enemy would not let go, even though the territory being fought over had no real tactical value. His unit was relieved and then, to the relief of everyone, came the armistice. (This interview made possible with the support of DAVID W. MARQUEZ.)
After the push to get to the Punch Bowl area, Bob Brockish went into reserve with his battalion and it was around this time that he became squad leader. The Marine was nineteen years old and suddenly he was responsible for twelve men.
Right after meeting up with a bunch of friends in Nashville to join the Navy, Owen was sent head-shaven into training and boot camp almost immediately. While there he made a few really good friends and, of course, had to endure very tough work environments. The most significant thing he remembers is that they were always kept busy, even if it meant having to perform mundane tasks like repeatedly picking up cigarette butts.
Every Marine knows about inspections. Bob Brockish prepared well and got duty at the front gate as a reward. That did not last but he got other duty which he liked, something which was preferable to guard duty in the cold desert lookout towers.

More On IP Arrow: Takedown Company's Boss Owes MPAA $15 Million And Clients Apparently Fine With Filing Bogus DMCA Notices
from the not-surprised,-but-still-disappointed dept
A few more details have been revealed about IP Arrow, the anti-piracy company whose DMCA notices were filled with links to content not owned by the companies it represents, including links to some rather dubious porn titles.
First off, it's hardly a company. IP Arrow is simply an "offshoot" of Morganelli Group LLC, the new home for its non-porn clients, as was pointed out by a commenter over at Torrentfreak.
This new-kid-on-the-block, hired-gun copyright enforcer named "IP arrow" appears to be a sock-puppet shell company owned by Joe Morganelli (Morganelli Group LLC)The stats over at Google's Transparency Report bear this out. The last DMCA notice issued for Zuffa, Lynda.com or Lionsgate by Morganelli was on August 1st. Since that point, every DMCA notice issued has been for one company: LFP Video Group LLC. LFP stands for Larry Flynt Productions. IP Arrow's work for Lynda.com, Zuffa and Lionsgate begins on August 5th.
Note that their client lists are virtually identical.
It looks like Joe Morganelli has transferred Lynda, Lionsgate, and Zuffa (UFC) to this new label "IP Arrow" while pornography is still carried under the old label "Morganelli Group".
Unlike the shoddy work done for Lynda.com, Zuffa and Lionsgate, Morganelli's work on behalf of the porn publisher seems to be subject to some actual vetting. You can see the difference in the number of URLs taken down. Despite issuing takedowns for LFP at the same frequency as the other three clients, LFP notices have asked for the removal of far fewer URLs.
Even under the previous name, Morganelli's work for his "mainstream" clients was uniformly terrible. Whatever automated program Morganelli's deploying appears to simply sweep up URLs and dump them into a form. It doesn't seem to be able to differentiate sidebar or related search links from the actual URLs linking to infringing copies.
Lynda.com, Zuffa and Lionsgate seem perfectly OK with IP Arrow (and Morganelli) sending out DMCA notices claiming ownership of other companies' content. I contacted all three but only heard back from one: Lynda.com.
On the 19th, I spoke briefly with David Glaubke, Director of Corporate Communications for Lynda.com. He asked what I thought was going on and I told him that it looked like IP Arrow was running a rather lousy bot/crawler and not vetting the results before firing off DMCA notices -- notices that are sworn statements that the company named owns the content listed. And, presumably, Lynda.com was paying IP Arrow to issue false statements in its name.
He assured me that his CTO and IT team were looking into the issue and that he would get back to me with any further comments or statements.
This statement, emailed to me a day after our phone conversation, appears to be Lynda.com's final word on the subject.
lynda.com retains the services of IP Arrow as a part of the company's on-going anti-piracy program to mitigate the illegal download of our intellectual property on torrent sites. On our behalf, IP Arrow issues batch DMCA takedown notifications for links to directories containing our content. Those links often contain keywords designed to drive traffic to adult or illegal material in directories that happen to also contain lynda.com videos. Many of the URLs highlighted in this TechDirt story, implied to be targets of erroneous takedowns, at one time contained our files but no longer do.That may all be true, but plenty of other anti-piracy companies run automated services and yet, their takedown notices aren't primarily composed of links to content that isn't theirs to take down. Not only that, but Morganelli, who apparently runs IP Arrow, seems to have very little trouble compiling vastly more accurate takedowns for LFP Video.
Why would a content owner be satisfied with service like this? Hopefully, Lynda.com and IP Arrow's other clients aren't being charged per URL. The way IP Arrow's service "works" pretty much guarantees the takedown notices will be completely useless by the time they're processed. This hardly seems like an efficient way to fight piracy.
Then there's this to consider, from the same Torrentfreak commenter.
So why did he do this? [split off Lionsgate, Lynda.com and Zuffa to IP Arrow]Former pirate goes into the piracy-fighting business, all the while owing the MPAA $15 million. His previous Usenet experience explains his expertise in combating piracy there but, once out of his comfort zone, he seems to be flailing. Here's what he had to say about his Usenet work.
Maybe because Hollywood still remembers Joe Morganelli as the guy they sued nearly a decade ago for running one of the internet's biggest warez sites, and are reluctant to give that copyright criminal any more of their money until he pays up on that multi-million dollar judgment he was slapped with but never paid.
"What my team does is monitor usenet 24/7 using a Bayesian Classifier. We also verify everything 100% to ensure we are making the proper removal requests for the UFC and our other clients," Joe Morganelli of Morganelli Group LLC told TorrentFreak.Apparently, this verification process doesn't carry over to his work outside of Usenet. Even if the URLs listed contained links to his clients' content at the time of "discovery," they no longer do at the point the DMCA notice is processed. It's a lazy, stupid way to rack up hundreds of "hits," which IP Arrow can then point to as "evidence" of its thorough work. Let's not forget, one of the takedowns even asked that the search results for the term "rar" be removed.
It's something that's been noted before and seems to still occur with some frequency -- some companies feel piracy is too much of a problem to ignore, but not enough of a problem to put in the hands of someone competent. The only thing this half-assed approach guarantees is that these companies aren't getting what they paid for.

(say "ray-NOHZ") phenomenon is a problem with blood flow. Your body doesn't
send enough blood to your hands and feet, so they feel very cold and numb. In
most cases, this lasts for a short time when your body overreacts to cold
You may also hear this condition called Raynaud's syndrome or Raynaud's disease.
For most people, Raynaud's is more of a nuisance than a
Often Raynaud's has no known cause. (This is sometimes called primary Raynaud's.)
Raynaud's is usually a symptom of another
disease, such as
rheumatoid arthritis, or
atherosclerosis. It may also be caused by taking certain medicines, using
vibrating power tools for several years, smoking, or having frostbite. (This is sometimes called secondary Raynaud's.)
Certain things can trigger an attack of symptoms. The most common trigger is exposure to
cold. In the cold, it's normal for the body to narrow the small blood vessels
to the skin and to open the blood vessels to the inside parts of the body to
keep the body warm. But with Raynaud's, the body restricts blood
flow to the skin more than it needs to. Other triggers can include emotional stress and things that affect the flow of blood, such as smoking, caffeine, and some medicines.
During an attack of
Raynaud's, the body limits blood flow to the hands and feet. This makes them feel cold and numb and then turn white or blue. As blood flow
returns and the fingers or toes warm up, they may turn red and begin to throb and
hurt. In rare cases, Raynaud's affects the nose or ears.
attack most often lasts only a few minutes. But in some cases it may last more
than an hour.
To diagnose
Raynaud's, your doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms and do a physical exam. You'll need to describe what happens during an attack.
If you can take a photo of the affected area during an attack, the photo may also be helpful to your doctor.
There are no tests that can show that you
have Raynaud's. But your doctor may do a blood test or other tests to rule out diseases that may be causing your symptoms.
If you have Raynaud's
that is caused by another disease, your doctor can treat that disease. This may
relieve your symptoms.
There is no cure for Raynaud's that occurs on its own (primary Raynaud's). But
you may be able to control it by avoiding the things that trigger it.
If you can't control your symptoms with these steps,
your doctor may give you a medicine called a calcium channel blocker. This may
increase blood flow to your hands and feet and relieve symptoms.
Some alternative treatments, such as herbal supplements and biofeedback training, have shown promise in treating Raynaud's. But they haven't been shown to work for everyone. Talk with your doctor if you're interested in trying any of these.

I'm afraid you've conflated several different positions -- which is an easy thing to do, when their proponents themselves are often not careful in distinguishing them! The fact is that most Evangelical Protestants believe the Scriptures are inerrant in the original autographs, i.e. the first handwritten text that the Biblical author wrote down. This means:LMD wrote:That is an erroneous statement. I assume you are referring to Fundamentalism. It isn't just the fundamentalists who believe that. I know that from experience across a wide range of denominations. Most Protestant Christians will say that the Bible is a protected writing, and that God would not allow error into it. They don't think of the KJV as a translation, but as the inspired word of God, and it generally takes a shift in reasoning for most Christians to concede that it is a translation in which error could possibly be introduced.
1) They recognize that errors may have crept in during the textual transmission process, although in practice most Evangelicals are optimistic that that there are no major errors in the text as we have it: the correct reading has likely been preserved in some manuscript, and we can figure it out by applying sound textual criticism.
2) They do not believe that any translation of the Bible is inerrant or inspired. Those who do are on the fringe, or they are not very well informed. In essence, the King James Only-ites are troubled by claim that the inspired Word of God has to be reconstructed through textual criticism; it must have been preserved, complete and inerrant, in a single text. So they conclude that, rather than the Greek, this must be the King James version.
For two typical Evangelical statements on Biblical inerrancy, see here (http://www.pcanet.org/general/beliefs.htm and here http://home.trbc.org/index.cfm?PID=9060. For some entertaining statements of the King James Only position, see here http://www.av1611.org/

Here's a great and fun little iPhone app that I just discovered while perusing the Threadless forum boards. Developed by Threadless user Ian Marsh (eeenmachine), Threads allows you to easily browse in-stock designs at Threadless straight from the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Not only can you browse Threadless tees, but you can buy tees directly from within the App (ok, this is a stretch, the app forwards you to the Threadless site via Safari). The app also makes use of the accelerometer – you are shown a different tee design every time you shake the phone while the app.
Even cooler, you can save these beautiful designs directly to your iPhone by tapping on the camera icon. Onc you click the camera icon all onscreen menus disappear and your left just with the design. From there you use the screen capture trick and then images are saved to your photo album and can then be used as Wallpaper for your iPhone! Pretty slick little app, I think! The app itself is snappy and works excellently on my first generation iPhone.

ESPN Story On Real Fight Clubs

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Harvard and Yale split another Ivy League doubleheader on Sunday with the Crimson coming behind in game one for a 4-3 extra-innings victory in game and Yale claiming a 5-3 victory in the nightcap. Harvard moves into a tie for second place with Brown in the Red Rolfe Division and stays within striking distance of Dartmouth, now sitting three games behind the Big Green.
In the opener, Harvard came back from three runs down to score three in the sixth inning. The Crimson then scored an unearned run in the eighth inning. Andrew Ferreira provided timely relief out of the bullpen with the hard-throwing lefty striking out three batters in 2.2 innings of one-hit relief.
Ferreira was on the back-end of a solid bullpen effort as Baron Davis entered the game in the first inning after Yale scored three times against starter Matt Timoney. Davis scattered four this while striking out two in 4.2 innings of scoreless relief to keep the Crimson in contention.
With Harvard trailing 3-0 in the sixth, Steve Dill came up with a two-run triple before eventually scoring on a passed ball to help send the game into extra innings.
In the eighth, Jeff Reynolds led off with a single and advanced on a wild pitch. Dill then sent a hot shot to second on what was eventually ruled an error, allowing Reynolds to score from second base.
In the nightcap, Reynolds contributed a two-run triple of his own to deep center field in the third inning to tie the game. Harvard was unable to push Reynolds across however to let Yale off the hook.
In the fourth, Kyle Larrow gave Harvard a 3-2 lead with a one-out single to score Ethan Ferreira, who led off with a single and stole second.
In the sixth, Jake McGuiggan led off with a double and moved to third on a flyball to right but the Crimson again could not push the run across with less than two outs. Yale capitalized in the bottom of the frame to tie things as a leadoff throwing error was eventually followed by a run-scoring double.
Yale scored twice in the eighth against the Harvard bullpen as consecutive doubles started the inning and a suicide squeeze brought home a needed insurance run.
Joey Novak pitched well in a no-decision, allowing two earned runs in seven innings, allowing eight hits while striking out six. McGuiggan and Larrow had two hits apiece.
Harvard is back in action on Wednesday as the Crimson plays for the Beanpot championship for a second straight season. The Crimson takes on Massachusetts at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Mass., at 6 p.m.

In my office, we have an Ubuntu box which is installed OWASP tools (I'll get back with what is OWASP later. For now check https://www.owasp.org). My laptop installed Windows 7 and I wanted to remotely connect to the Ubuntu computer to test the installed software. I guess most of you use "VNC Viewer" to connect Ubuntu from the Windows.
VNC requires a separate client running on a PC. But why don't we use existing RDP (Remote Desktop Client) which is freely come with windows instead of installing separate software? Here are the steps, how to use RDP to connect from Windows to Ubuntu.
1. To enable the RDP, you have to install the RDP server (xrdp – http://www.xrdp.org/) on Ubuntu. Login to the Ubuntu and run the following command on the terminal window
2. Now login to the Windows PC and open the RDP client. Type the IP address and click "Connect" button
3. It will prompt the xrdp login window, and enter your Ubuntu username and password and click "OK"
4. Here you connect.
You may want to know why I used RDP instead of VNC. That is not only to stop installation overhead of separate software; here is one of the complete answers for this.
RDP is semantic. The RDP is aware of controls, fonts, and other similar graphical primitives. This means that when rendering a screen across a network, this information is used to compress the data stream significantly. For instance, if you know that this region of the screen if occupied by a button, with the color grey, then you don't need to send an image of the button across the network, but merely information such as location of this button, size and color.
VNC is "dumb" in this respect, and largely functions by sending the actual images across the network.RDP is tightly coupled to the Windows platform, whereas VNC is available for most platforms. RDP is also seen as far more performance then VNC, due to the semantic advantage.

The NHL has canceled all its games through the end of November because of the labor dispute between owners and players.
The league made the announcement on Friday in a brief statement.
It said that a total of 326 regular-season games, more than 26.5 percent of the season, were scheduled for Oct. 11 through Nov. 30.
"The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action," the league said via its official site. "By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to Player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term Collective Bargaining Agreement that would have preserved an 82-game Regular Season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur.
"We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the Players and the Clubs -- one that will be good for the game and our fans."

Previously titled "Evolving in Monkey Town"
Eighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial made a spectacle of Christian fundamentalism and brought national attention to her hometown, Rachel Held Evans faced a trial of her own when she began to have doubts about her faith. Growing up in a culture obsessed with apologetics, Evans asks questions she never thought she would ask. She learns that in order for her faith to survive in a postmodern context, it must adapt to change and evolve. Using as an illustration her own spiritual journey from certainty, through doubt, to faith, Evans adds a unique perspective to the ongoing dialogue about postmodernism and the church that has so captivated the Christian community in recent years. In a changing cultural environment where new ideas threaten the safety and security of the faith, Faith Unraveled is a fearlessly honest story of survival.

-Mary DeMuth, author
"Rachel Held Evans is brilliant, gutsy, real, and hilarious, and Evolving in Monkey Town impacted my spiritual journey in ways I never imagined. I can't remember a book that I enjoyed reading more, partly because Rachel is a great writer, and partly because she so fearlessly examines the conflict between her inherited beliefs about God and the truth of her own spiritual experience. There's a certain weight to Evolving in Monkey Town that distinguishes it from the other spiritual memoir books out there."
-Jim Palmer, author of Divine Nobodies
"With Evolving in Monkey Town, Rachel Held Evans steps onto the stage as a gifted writer, an honest storyteller, and a compelling voice in the Christian community. She represents what is most hopeful and promising in a new generation of articulate, intelligent, and faithful young leaders."
-Brian McLaren, author/speaker
"Can I tell you how much I admire Rachel Held Evans? She is smart, compassionate, funny, and relentlessly inquisitive. It is the questions she asks, not the answers she uncovers, that make Evolving in Monkey Town such a compelling read. There are many good books worth reading, but a truly remarkable book will leave you pondering matters long after the cover is closed. I loved this book."
-Karen Spears Zacharias, author of Will Jesus Buy Me a Double-Wide?
"I love to read stories that ask questions, that live in the tension, that allow me to bring my doubt and uncertainty and join the conversation. Rachel Held Evans' Evolving in Monkey Town is one of those stories."
-Shauna Niequist, author of Cold Tangerines
"Evolving in Monkey Town is the kind of book I'll pass along. Rachel Held Evans so accurately highlights her struggles to have a genuine, life-changing, world-beautifying faith. I love her heart, her journey, her questions, and her tentative understanding of Jesus. I'll be thinking about this book and its message for months and years to come. An important read."
-Mary DeMuth, author of Thin Places: A Memoir
"It's not every day that a book with the word 'monkey' in the title challenges and encourages me like Rachel Held Evans' debut. She adds a fresh, courageous voice to the faith-and-doubt discussion, and it's a voice all of us need to hear."
-Jason Boyett, author of O Me of Little Faith
"This book is an argument—Rachel argues with herself, God, the Bible, and Southern fundamentalism. Somehow, though, we are the winners in this argument because we learn and watch as a young woman emerges into a maturing faith that lets the kingdom vision of Jesus reshape her life. I found myself cheering her on."
-Scot McKnight, author of The Jesus Creed

Canadian refineries are importing U.S. oil at a soaring rate, bringing in crude at four times historic levels as booming shale production continues to reshape the world oil market.
Refineries in eastern Canada took in an average of 100,000 barrels a day of crude from the United States in the first three months of the year, up from a historic average of around 24,000 barrels a day, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported this week.
Refineries throughout North America are increasingly finding alternatives to more expensive crude from overseas producers in the North Sea, Africa and the Middle East.
"There's no point in a Canadian refinery buying a barrel of oil from West Africa or farther, if they can get if from the United States" for less money, said Amy Myers Jaffe, executive director energy and sustainability at the University of California, Davis.
Exports: Mexico is third largest exporter of oil to United States
Valero Energy Corp., which operates a refinery in Quebec with a capacity of 265,000 barrels per day, is aggressively exploring efforts to switch from crude imported from overseas to cheaper oil from North America, spokesman Bill Day said.
The company has a license from the U.S. Department of Energy to ship a maximum of 90,000 barrels per day of crude produced from the Eagle Ford shale to the Quebec refinery, Day said.
San Antonio-based Valero, the continent's largest independent refiner, has so far only sent one shipment of crude to Canada as part of a test. The test proved the refinery could process Eagle Ford barrels "very well," Day said.
All of the Quebec refinery's crude has previously come from overseas producers, though Valero is planning to change its sourcing, Day said.
"We're trying to completely displace expensive crude," he said. "Right now, foreign crude is more expensive than North American crude and we perceive that will be the case at least for the foreseeable future."
Changes at Canadian refineries, as well as at others in North America, are affecting overseas producers and world oil markets, said Jeff Dietert, head of research at Simmons & Company International.
"All of those crudes are being backed out of the U.S. import market and they're being forced to be discounted and shipped in large part eastward into the Asian markets," Dietert said.
More American oil has also moved northward to Canada at a time when a surge of Canadian oil is also moving south to U.S. refineries. That is because the crudes are of different qualities that need to be handled by specific refineries, Dietert said.
Refineries along the U.S. Gulf Coast, for example, have the ability to turn large quantities of crude from Canadian oil sands into gasoline, diesel and other products.
But refineries elsewhere, like in eastern Canada, are more suited for lighter crudes, like the kinds that have been produced from shale plays across the United States and in western Canada.
Soaring production of oil from North American shale plays, coming at the same time as producers are ramping up oil sands output, is leading to changes to help move different crudes within the United States.
Pipeline companies like Enbridge, of Canada, are making changes that will move more of the cheaper light crude from oil sources on the western part of the continent to refineries in eastern Canada. That change that will likely lead to even more displacement of overseas imports, the Energy Information Administration said.
Though Canada has historically imported oil from wells in the midwestern United States, Canada is now pulling in crude from farther south, with some of it coming by rail, the agency said.
A large portion of the Canadian imports are coming from Texas, where oil production has shot up from around 1 million barrels per day throughout the last decade to just over 2 million barrels per day in 2012, according to the EIA.
With North American refiners looking increasingly inside the continent for their crude, overseas oil producers are likely to face lasting challenges to sell into the United States and Canada, Jaffe said.
"I think what you're going to find is its not a temporary thing," she said. "The only thing that would make it temporary is if Canada itself, on the east coast, found its own light sweet crude oil from shale and then they wouldn't need it form the United States."

AAA member, David H. Slater, is an associate professor of cultural anthropology in the Faculty of Liberal Arts and the Graduate Program of Japanese Studies at Sophia University, Tokyo. His most recent article, "Fukushima Women Against Nuclear Power: Finding a Voice from Tohoku" was featured in The Asia-Pacific Journal: Japan Focus. Below is an excerpt of the article. To read the complete article, please click here.
From the very first, it has been quite difficult to politicize earthquake and tsunami hit Tohoku, despite the poor planning, the slow and uneven response, the failure to provide aid in a timely way in the days and weeks afterward, and the often poorly organized evacuation centers—an issue which resulted in a number of unexplained deaths. Now, the temporary housing facilities virtually insure that communities, or what is left of them, will stay dysfunctional for a while, even as their residents are often the ones called upon to manage their own relief. While the silences of fatalism and the shock of such a terrible disaster have been noted, anyone who has been to the Northeast on a regular basis is aware that the frustration and anger erupt in different ways almost every day. The point, however, is that rarely does it emerge in the unified voices of protest, rarely in coherent demands for systematic help, almost never in anger expressed in a way that the rest of the nation can hear.
In contrast, the threat of nuclear radiation and critiques of the nuclear industry have been skillfully politicized in ways that have led to the largest set of demonstrations in Japan (with the exception of Okinawa) since the US-Japan security treaty protests of the 1960s and 1970s. These protests have been based in Tokyo, utilizing urban networks of activists who have provided the digital framework for organization that has brought together an older generation of anti-nuclear activists, young families, hip urbanites, office workers and union protesters. This is, perhaps ironic, considering that many of the protesters and marchers rarely have contact with Tohoku. The nuclear threat, organizers say, extends beyond Tohoku, even beyond Japan. And indeed, this is the message that has been heard around the world, as the anti-nuke protest and politics were staged with specific reference to Fukushima (sadly, rarely with respect to the wider 'Tohoku' region).
