RICHMOND — There were times last season when, with Pierre Garcon out of the lineup and Josh Morgan struggling with leg and hand injuries, the Washington Redskins' most reliable wide receiver was Santana Moss.
That says something about the season that Moss had at age 33 after seemingly being close to being out of the team's plans. But it also says something about the Redskins' wide receiver corps, a group that was remade prior to last season. The immediate results of that makeover were mixed.
For the Redskins to be the team they want to be this season, they very well might need more out of their wide receivers. The ideal scenario for them would be for Garcon to remain healthy, for Moss to duplicate last season's performance and for Morgan to feel better and produce more.
"I watch a lot of football and I see [receiving] corps," Moss said this week at the Redskins' training camp headquarters. "I see the Green Bay Packers' corps. I see the Saints. I see different teams that have four or five guys that can be called upon. Last year we were one of those corps that were trying to be like them. And I just hope this year we take it to the next level."
The Redskins were very good on offense last season en route to winning the NFC East title and quarterback Robert Griffin III being named the NFL's offensive rookie of the year. They were fifth in the league in total offense and fourth in scoring offense. They were first in rushing. But they were only 20th in the league in passing, based on yards per game.
Garcon and Morgan had been signed as free agents prior to last season to bolster a group of wideouts that had lacked a 1,000-yard receiver in the 2011 season. Yet the Redskins failed to produce even a 700-yard receiver last season. Garcon missed much of the season because of an ailing toe and led the team with 633 receiving yards.
Morgan had a team-high 48 catches. But they produced only a modest 510 receiving yards. The D.C. native had high hopes after signing with his hometown team following four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. But he was limited by his ongoing recovery from the broken bone in his lower right leg that he suffered during the 2011 season. He also hurt ligaments in both hands at different points last season.
"Last year I don't think I was healthy enough to do anything you were supposed to do as a wide receiver," Morgan said this week. "It hurt to push off. It hurt to plant and cut. It hurt to catch the ball."
Morgan said he "went back and forth" all season with the idea that he should sit out long enough to get healthy. But he played on. It wasn't an easy season for him, especially after he received threatening messages on Twitter for committing a costly penalty late in a loss at St. Louis in the second game of the season.
"It was very frustrating, especially after the Rams game with that type of mistake," Morgan said. "You just want to shut everybody up: 'That's why they brought me here.' I finished as the team's leading receiver with receptions and everything. With everything I went through, I still look at that as an accomplishment."
Morgan said he feels "100 times better" in this training camp than he did at any point last season. He underwent offseason surgeries to repair the torn ligaments in his hands and to have a plate and seven screws removed from his leg.
"I feel like a new man," Morgan said, "instead of the bionic man last year."
The Redskins probably would be ecstatic with more of the same from Moss, who led the team with eight touchdown catches last season. The Redskins tried but failed to sign another free agent wide receiver, Eddie Royal, at the same time they added Garcon and Morgan. Signing Royal might have led the Redskins to consider releasing Moss. Instead, the team handed Moss a new, reduced role last season as a third-down receiver working out of the slot.
He thrived in it, reporting to training camp last year in superb shape and going on to produce 41 catches for 573 yards.
"Right now I'm on a team where we have a lot of talent," said Moss, now 34. "I've been on plenty of teams like this. Whatever Coach wants me to do, I'm gonna be ready to do it. I've did everything. This is my 13th season. There ain't nothing I haven't done. Last year was a challenge for me because it was something different. I enjoyed it and I enjoyed being called on the times they called on me."
The Redskins also have holdovers Leonard Hankerson, Aldrick Robinson and Dezmon Briscoe and they signed veterans Donte Stallworth and Devery Henderson to vie for roster spots.
If Griffin is to continue to develop as a pocket passer in the NFL as he works his way back from knee surgery in January amid so much talk that his style of play must change for him to safeguard himself, he needs as many dependable options as possible among his wide receivers.
"One of the strengths is we have most of the same guys back so that familiarity with those guys is going to be great," Griffin said this week. "We'll have a lot of timing, a lot of rhythm together. . . . We've got a lot of guys that do a lot of great things and together I think collectively they can be one of the best."

I like people. Really I do. Indeed, some of my best friends are people. But as that great wit, ballroom dancer and socialite Jean-Paul Sartre once pointed out, it is also the case that "hell is other people". Especially over dinner. Not all of them, of course. There are people with whom I love eating; without whom a properly laid table is not complete; whose very presence gives my greed a greater moral purpose. Or at the very least make me feel that I am feeding more than just my over-indulged stomach.
And then there are others. The ones who can ruin a good meal merely by being themselves. And who, somehow, always seem to end up sitting next to me.
Prime among these, top of the list I am writing for the day of the glorious revolution when I am finally installed as your dear leader, are: people who make eating noises. From time to time I am forced, professionally, to sit at a table with a noisy eater; someone who is meant to have taste, who has even been paid for his opinions.
He sits there, this chap, sloshing stuff around his gob, like a silage machine making free with this year's grass cuttings. It's a sound that can engender in me a physical response; which can make me want to leave a plate of food I am enjoying. Even of pork belly. Yes. It's that bad.
All I can think, while I'm listening to the noise, is: how the hell did you get to adulthood like this? Did nobody have the nerve to pick you up on this foul, infuriating slurping thing you're doing, with your lips parted, your tongue flopping about your mouth like a bull elephant seal hunting for a mate?
The obvious answer is of course not. Certainly I haven't had the guts to do it. Instead, ever the coward, I am venting my frustration by attacking anonymously. (NB Anybody with a nasal passage injury who wishes to complain that I am discriminating against them because they can't help themselves, might wish to cut out the middle man and write directly to popbitch.com)
Next up are the ones who manage to drag the edge of their knife against the shiny surface of their plate. Every single time they take a mouthful. The sound of metal on glazed china. Oh, God! Shoot me now. And coming up just behind them are those who, presented with a hamburger, reach for the knife and fork. Just pick the damn thing up. With your hands. Those dangly things at the end of your arms. Our hands are why hamburgers were invented. Just how uptight do you have to be to eat a hamburger with a knife and fork?
Of course what I live most in fear of is someone who, served a hamburger, scrapes their knife and fork across the plate while cutting it up and then eats it with their mouth open. For them, a special place in hell has been reserved.
Some of you might think that all this says far more about me than it does about those I criticise. You may have a point. It may explain why I do so love eating in restaurants alone: a great plate of food, a good bottle of wine, no one to see me spill sauce down my shirt.
Did I mention the sauce spilling thing? I didn't? Don't worry. It's no biggie. You'll get used to it. In time. People, eh. They really are a nightmare, aren't they?

This semester is a semester I will never forget. Coming from high school to college and adjusting to the work load, total independence, and a brand new environment, is an experience I will never be able to relive. I have made new friendships I know will last a lifetime and have learned lessons on how to use my best judgement in critical situations. Rhetoric and Composition was one of my favorite courses due to all of the pointers I learned and many rules that put me on the right road to becoming a better writer. I loved writing these blogs throughout the year to give me a little escape from the original black and white college curriculum. My first semester of college definitely pushed me to my limits and showed me what I am capable of mentally and emotionally. I am very excited to see what the rest of my college career has in store for me.
Public Speaking After Presentation
I know I have the ability to make public announcements,but it is always a little nerve racking just the thought of messing up in front of an audience. I know I tend to work myself up over things like presentations, and then once I am actually presenting in fron of the class, I realize it is not as bad as I expected it to be. I was just talking to my classmates about what my final paper was about. No one is perfect, so I did stumble over a couple words and talked a little fast, but it was almost as if I was having a conversation with my friends. I enjoyed watching Leah's presentation the most because of course being a girl I was a big fan of Barbie and my mother also had a Chatty Kathy doll. I loved how she interviewed her mother and she talked about her childhood with Chatty Kathy. Leah's presentation was original and very well done.
Oral Presentations
Public speaking has never come across as one of my biggest fears, but it has certainly made me nervous especially before final presentations. Little things I tend to worry about like mispronouncing words, stuttering, and forgetting important information. A tendency I have had in the past in high school is crossing my feet and moving around a lot during my presentation, which can be very distracting for the audience and the teacher trying to give me a grade. I have also had trouble with eye contact in the past, I wouldeither look at my note cards or stare at the powerpoint or even at the ground at times. Two ways i can get over the fear of presenting would be to simply read over my material repeatedly and practice over and over again. Another way to fix my eye contact issue would be to pick something to keep my focus on either the back wall or a person I can continuously glance at to keep me on track.

Classification and Division pg 375
The perfect bookstore for me would divide its books on which ones to read depending on what mood I am in or where I will read them. For example one section would be labeled "On The Beach," which would include all of my favorite relaxation reads like the Twilight series, Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, and To Kill A Mockingbird. Another addiction I have would be all of the fashion and gossip magazines especially in waiting rooms for dentist or doctor's offices so this would be labeled "Waiting Room Reads." I always need to have a dictionary or thesaurus handy when writing a paper or while reading in case I come across a word I do not know, so the section with all of those books pertaining to a dictionary or thesaurus would be in the "Paper Helpers" section. Books that I love to read before I go to bed would be the girly, romance novels like anything by Danielle Steele. These books would be in the "Bedtime Stories" section.
The Tipping Point
A strength of The Tipping Point, at least to me would have to be the use of examples, especially while explaining "The Sticky Factor." Using examples that I am familiar with in any type of writing, allows me to take in more information and understand it on a personal level, therefore making learning much more manageable and less stressful. By thoroughly explaining how the popular show Sesame Street has the "sticky factor", helped me choose all different sorts of objects that can be considered "sticky".
A weakness of The Tipping Point is its dry mood. I understand this book is not exactly an entertainment read, it is more of an informative view which for me can be difficult to sit down and read page for page without getting distracted. There is not exactly a story line, plot, or climax which tends to make me lose interest quickly.

Goals For Future Papers
A goal that I have for my next paper would be to choose and utilize more meaningful and powerful words in my sentence to really get my point across. I really want to be able to show my audience what I am trying to say rather than just by telling them. In my first multi-draft paper, I noticed I had many marks for diction, so the next paper I really want to focus on my word choice and making my sentences stronger. Another goal I need to remember is more of a common sense issue; I need to remember to give my sources credit! After a couple quotes, I forgot to put which source it was from, either from the book or the articles I chose for reference. I can achieve these goals by really taking in what my peers say about my paper and also accepting constructive criticism, using it to my advantage. I can also go to J-105 and have them review my paper and offer me tips on order to improve anything.

Sticky Technology
Although I think Gladwell's example really hit the idea of "sticky"with Sesame Street right on the nose, I am going to give it a shot. A piece of technology that has become sticky over the past decade would have to be cellphones. About ten years ago, only a few people had cell phones either for work or strictly for emergencies. Nowadays, it seems really strange if someone does not have one. The cellphone has expanded nationwide and to many different companies competing with each other to buy their product. A cellphone now has the ability to text, receive and send emails, play music, and so much more. The stickiness factor of cellphones seems to have taken over the world. It serves as different ways of communication, which people depend on everyday: whether it be a parent trying to reach their child, or a conference call with an important company, cellphones have proven to be one of the most widespread and dependable inventions.

From the sidelines: Seahawks at Broncos

Latest Photos
DENVER - Late Saturday night after their 23-20 loss to the Broncos, Seahawks players stood at their lockers defeated, with pained looks on their faces.
The setback in Denver might've been merely a preseason game, but the Seahawks sure weren't reacting like it was.
And that news alone should bode well for the Seahawks in 2011.
You can fix mechanics and hone fundamentals, but heart and desire are either there or they're not. And in the Seahawks' case, they're there — as especially evidenced on Saturday night in the team's second-half comeback that fell just short on the Broncos' game-winning field goal at the gun.
Coach Pete Carroll's theme all weekend was advancing closer to finding his squad's identity. On Friday night in the final team meeting before kickoff, Carroll spoke about how he thought the 2010 Seahawks didn't truly discover their identity until the 16th game of the season, when they shut down the Rams at home to capture the NFC West crown.
He's hoping the identity-discovery process will happen significantly sooner this fall, and he wanted Saturday's preseason game to be a major progression in that process.
"Each game gives us a chance to find ourselves," Carroll told his team on Friday night. "We are on this course as a football team to discover who we are. Now let's take a step closer to discovering our identity."
But the first half of the game on Saturday might've been a step backwards, if anything. The Seahawks managed only 39 yards and two first downs, but fortunately, they were down just 10-3 at intermission. As frustratingly stuck as the offense played, the Seahawks were primed for a comeback.
"We've been handed a gift," offensive line coach Tom Cable said to the offensive players during halftime. "We've got a great lesson to learn. We've got to find out who we are."
Instead of finding their identity, though, the Seahawks found themselves down 17-3 fairly soon into the third quarter. Their identity would be wrapped up in a large batch of heart and desire that would be on display during the remainder of the game. From Tarvaris Jackson's masterful touchdown-scoring drive in the fourth quarter to Doug Baldwin's 105-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to Jeff Reed's duet of 50-plus-yard field goals, the team just would not quit on Saturday night — no matter how dire the circumstances.
It added up to a 20-20 tie that would only be broken by a Denver field goal with no time remaining — but not before Seattle's field goal block unit turned in phenomenal drive to nearly block the kick.
Carroll's "Always compete" mantra had never been truer for the 2011 Seahawks.
So as the players and coaches shuffled into the locker room after the loss, the lessons, steps and identity-forming moments were obvious. While they have much work to do and many areas to improve, the Seahawks are moving closer to finding who they truly are. The mechanics can and will be repaired, the fundamentals can and will be mended — but the deep convictions that are visibly present portend great promise for the 2011 season.
"It's real clear we've got a lot to work on," Carroll told the players in the locker room after the game. "But your determination was awesome and you finished the game with fantastic attitude."
Heart, desire, passion, commitment — cornerstones for a foundation to a promising team heading toward something special. Read

Stop what you are doing currently and have a look at these brand new spy shots of the upcoming Audi S1. Hot!
This prototype may only look like an A1 in S-Line trim, but our spies point out that the larger tailpipes and heartier exhaust note are a dead giveaway of this car's heightened sporting intentions.
A five-door A1 is reportedly in the works, but the S1 will likely only be available in the three-door body style. Power is expected to come from a turbocharged, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine which will be tuned to crank out around 180 horsepower, and Audi's seven-speed S-tronic gearbox will send that power to the front two wheels.

He also points out that the CIA decision to use these methods put up a wall between CIA and FBI that made further interrogations and anti-terrorism efforts more difficult.
One of the worst consequences of the use of these harsh techniques was that it reintroduced the so-called Chinese wall between the C.I.A. and F.B.I., similar to the communications obstacles that prevented us from working together to stop the 9/11 attacks. Because the bureau would not employ these problematic techniques, our agents who knew the most about the terrorists could have no part in the investigation. An F.B.I. colleague of mine who knew more about Khalid Shaikh Mohammed than anyone in the government was not allowed to speak to him.
I think that this is important information that counters the "rationale" for torture, and gets us back on top of the conversation as to make sure this doesn't happen again. I appreciate Mr. Soufan's courage in speaking out.

Sorry, no definitions found. Check out and contribute to the discussion of this word!
Sorry, no etymologies found.
I shuddered a little on encountering the phrase "complex polyvocal, transhistorical schematic."
No overriding answer had emerged to the question of why peace activists had come to Occupy Wall Street, which was in a sense appropriate, given the decentralized, polyvocal nature of the protest.
No. 111 responds directly to the polyvocal discourse of the digital economy by sampling some of its longer passages from chatrooms and homepages found on the Internet.
Quick Review 03 : Christian Bök : Harriet the Blog : The Poetry Foundation
She made an interesting point about the problems of writing an "official" history of a movement that was polyvocal, and suspicious of authority and linear narrative.
Melissa Buzzeo's body/language text, a polyvocal performance piece by Laura Elrick, and Myung Mi Kim's aerated text--all of the poets sharp and precise.
It's a polyvocal language - two entwined voices speaking at once, different sounds.
But I do think that it's fair to say that the polyvocal nature of the nucleus of sites that were gathered into PJM has become monotonous as they've striven for more authority, at the expense of authenticity.
An elegy for the author's father is followed by a polyvocal poem spoken by birds; a series on Andalusia, by the monologue of a Native American.

Engineering with Rubber: How to Design Rubber Components (Hanser Publishers)
This book is intended to teach the beginning engineer the principles of rubber science and technology, explaining what rubber is, how it behaves, and how to design simple engineering components. It deals with the basic principles on which successful use of rubber depends, answering the key questions facing all engineers intending to use rubber compounds: How is an elastomer chosen and a formulation developed? Why is rubber highly elastic and relatively strong? How can one estimate the stiffness and strength of a product? How can one guarantee high quality and durability? The authors describe current practice in rubber engineering and, in many cases, they give sample problems and questions to allow readers to gauge how well they have mastered the material. The contents of the book could easily be incorporated into a senior undergraduate or beginning graduate course in materials science and engineering.

Two Cumberlands Professors Win Artist Fellowships
By Samantha Swindler, The Times-Tribune, Corbin, Ky.
Aug. 4--Of only eight Kentucky artists who were granted Al Smith Individual Artist Fellowships Awards this year, two of them work right here in Williamsburg, for the University of the Cumberlands.Marianne Worthington, associate professor of communication arts, and Nancy Jensen, associate professor of English, both received $7,500 fellowships to support their writing careers.
Jensen, of Whitley City, received an award for fiction writing, while Worthington, of Williamsburg, was awarded for poetry.
Marianne Worthington
"To get one of these awards was just mind blowing," Worthington said. "I just couldn't believe it."
The grant will help Worthington in two current projects -- one is her second collection of poetry and the other is a collection of poetry by others artists with music-related themes, titled, "Motif, Writing by Ear," which Worthington is editing. She's accepting submissions through August and hopes to have the book completed by Christmas.
Her first collection of poetry, "Larger Bodies Than Mine," was printed in 2006 by Finishing Line Press in Georgetown.
"And it's not about fat people either," she said with a laugh. The title is actually taken from the novel, "A Death in the Family."
"Bodies Larger Than Mine" included about 25 poems that she had collected over 30 years. She turned in her first collection in the summer of 2005. By Christmas she had a contract and by May 2006 she had a book.
The second collection Worthington is working on is inspired by the women of early country music -- the female singers like Maybelle Carter, and even the country music genre of murder ballads about the deaths of women.
"It was just something that really intrigued me, the idea of women's contributions to early country music. It's kind of a good ol' boys club and women had to break through that, and we've kind of forgotten that," she said.
Worthington said she didn't write as a young person at all, but she really began to explore the craft about 15 years ago.
A turning point was attending the Appalachian Writer's Workshop at the Hindman Settlement School in Hindman, which she called "life changing."
"I started going a little over a decade ago and it was just very inspiring to me," she said of the workshop, "and that's really how I got started getting published and making connections and doing some writing."
Worthington attended Carson Newman College and studied under poet Danny Marion, who encouraged her to attend the Hindman workshop.
"That was where I got my first taste of creative writing," she said.
Her first teaching job was at Ball State in Muncie, Ind., where she had received her master's degree and met her husband.
She grew up in Knoxville, Tenn. and when an opportunity opened up to move to southeastern Kentucky in 1990, she and her husband, Keith Semmel, took the chance to get closer to home. Semmel is the chair of the communication and theater arts department at U of C.
At U of C, Worthington teaches communication, and journalism and some nonfiction writing. She is also book reviews editor for "Now & Then" magazine and continues academic-style writing through her profession.
"Our department resurrected the campus newspaper and we have a journalism minor in our department and we're working towards getting a major," Worthington said.
While the worlds of poetry and journalism are at opposite ends of the writing spectrum, Worthington sees many parallels in her two types of work.
"I always think that a good journalist is very lyrical and uses language skillfully, so there are some similarities, I think," she said. "Obviously, the approach is different and the structure is different, but any time you use language in a descriptive way, whether it's journalism or poetry, you're pretty much doing the same thing.
"I prefer writing poetry, but I seem to do more academic writing," she said. "I wish that I had more time to write creatively, and maybe this fellowship will allow me to do that."
Nancy Jensen
Jensen, who was awarded for her work in fiction writing, plans to dedicate part of the grant money toward completing her first novel, tentatively titled "Tread Softly," a line from poet W.D. Yeats -- "tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
The novel joins three pairs of sisters across three generations (and 80 years) of one family, beginning in 1927 in the fictional town of Juniper, Ky. It was a chapter from "Tread Softly" that won Jensen the fellowship award, along with a 2007 enrichment grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women for feminist work.
"That, for me, works, at least in my mind, as something of a theme that joins the six point of view characters," Jensen said of the title. "So much of what happens in their lives is the result of mis-apprehensions, mis-communication... In that way, without meaning to in any direct way, they sometimes thwart and even trample on the hopes of the others."
Jensen has traditionally written short stories and essays. Her first book was a collection of pieces written over many years, titled, "Window: Stories and Essays."
"I just wanted to see if I was going to be able to meet the demands of a longer narrative," she said of her novel. "It seemed a natural progression."
Jensen said she's been writing since she was a child.
"My grandma taught me to read and write when I was 3 years old. I was one of those strange little kids that walked around narrating what was going on," Jensen said.
She published her first story while she was in college, attending Indiana University in New Albany, Ind.
She began her teaching career in Malaysia, where her husband had been sent for work. When she came back to the area, she had teaching jobs at Lees College in Jackson, Ky. and Bellmine College before coming to University of the Cumberlands 14 years ago.
A "personal trauma" kept Jensen from writing anything for about 10 years, but she finally returned to her craft around 2003.
When she learned of her Al Smith Fellowship award, Jensen said, "I really thought I was going to pass out.
"I'm going to be sort of dispersing it among several projects," Jensen said. "I have a book coming out in January from Fleur de Lis press out of Louisville, and the grant money will help enormously for allowing me to travel and for promotion. And some practical things like a laptop, and also I'm hoping that there will be enough in the pot left to begin some research on a third book."
The Kentucky Arts Council's annual fellowships were awarded this year in the artistic disciplines of literature, music composition and dance choreography. They are named after retired Kentucky journalist and past Arts Council Board chair, Al Smith.
In alternate years, the fellowships are awarded to visual and media artists. Last year, another University of the Cumberlands professor, Russell Weedman, was awarded his second fellowship for his visual art.
"At University of the Cumberlands, we recognize and appreciate the extraordinary caliber of our teaching faculty, and it is always encouraging when organizations like the Kentucky Arts Council corroborate our opinion," said Dr. Jim Taylor, president of University of the Cumberlands. "It is especially heartening to learn that out of the six Al Smith Individual Artist Fellowships Awards in Literature given this year, two honored the stellar achievements of UC faculty members, Nancy Jensen and Mary Ann Worthington."

early decades of the 20th century were indeed prosperous times
for the worlds shipping companies. A vast number of emigrants were leaving
the homes in the Old World and set out to find a new life on the other
side of the North Atlantic. Most of them came to the United States, where
the unrestricted immigration laws welcomed anyone who was healthy and could
earn their living in America.
This made the North Atlantic the most profitable shipping lane. The shipping lines were competing for popularity among the emigrants, for it was in fact they who provided the real income. The steamship design had evolved rapidly, resulting in larger, faster and more luxurious vessels constantly surpassing each other. These liners carried the wealthy in luxurious settings, but it was the

Lately, I've seen a number of libations posted by Craig E, many which intrigued me. Yankee Skipper was one; so using top shelf ingredients, I put it together. I used Bulleit rye, Vya sweet vermouth, Smith & Cross rum, and Picon Amer. What I expected and what I tasted were two different animals.
What I expected was a somewhat smooth tasting cocktail with a predominant rum taste; what I tasted was a clash of rye and rum, with no taste of the Picon Amer. Specifying the rye and sweet vermouth may help; different brands of rye and sweet vermouth have their own characteristic tastes, and may or may not blend well with Smith and Cross rum.
That leads to my next suggestion: use a smoother rum, such as a Barbados or Haiti rum. I did use an orange twist, which helped reduce the sharp, unpleasant taste of the original recipe. Perhaps I missed the boat on this one; only others can say yea or nay. As is, I rate it as 2.5, and look at the Yankee Skipper as a work in progress.

A Vexing Issue The O&P Alliance asks OIG to treat physician-owned O&P labs as they do physician-owned distributorships
hysician-owned distributorships (PODs), where O&P services are provided in a physician's office through various arrangements, have long been the subject of conversation in the O&P community. To address the issue, the O&P Alliance submitted a thoughtful analysis in a May 23, 2013, letter to Daniel Levinson, inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, suggesting a course of action that would ensure that both the "Medicare program and beneficiary interest continue to be served, that access to quality orthotic and prosthetic care is maintained, and to mitigate the potential for fraudulent and abuse activities."
OIG's Stance on PODs The Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a Special Fraud Alert on March 23, 2013, addressing PODs—physicianowned entities that derive revenue from selling or arranging the sale of implantable medical devices ordered by their physician-owners for use in procedures the physician-owners perform on their own patients at hospitals or ambulatory surgical centers. This alert
O&P Almanac JULY 2013
acknowledged that while the focus was on implantable devices, "the same principles would apply when evaluating arrangements involving other types of physician-owned entities." In its May 23 letter, the O&P Alliance noted prior OIG references to this problem by observing the following: "Through previously published guidance, the OIG has made it clear that an opportunity for a referring physician to earn a profit, including through an investment in an entity for which the physician generates business (e.g., through referrals to the business), could constitute illegal remuneration under the antikickback statute."
Physician-Owned O&P Labs The O&P Alliance letter observed that PODs addressed in the Special Fraud Alert closely resemble the relationship of physician-owned O&P laboratories, and urged "the OIG to apply the same principles when considering the legality of physicianowned O&P laboratories under the anti-kickback statutes."

The Gettysburg College Pre-Business Program affords students the opportunity to develop business and organizational literacy while pursuing specialized interests within their major. Any student that has general questions relating to business or related graduate studies may utilize the pre-business advising services. Although the term business is largely associated with the process of generating a profit, every formal organization utilizes certain basic business processes. For the purposes of this program, the term "business" will be used to describe the basic skills or literacy needed to operate an organization, regardless of whether the organization is economic, social, or political in nature.
The Pre-Business Program is based on the belief that a liberal arts education provides a solid foundation for leadership. This is an opportunity for you to develop the skills necessary to become a life-long self-directed learner. These skills are the cornerstone of an enlightened society, the responsibility of citizenship, and the very foundations of positive social change. From this perspective, the Pre-Business Program is intended to supplement the studies within your major by helping the student integrate their interests with business and organizational literacy. This is accomplished through specialized programming, individualized advising, selected course work, and close collaboration with Off-Campus Studies and the Career Development Center.
The Pre-Business advising process starts with scheduling a meeting with the Pre-Business Advisor. This first meeting is an informal conversation that is intended to help the student clarify their interests. Based on the questions and interests that surface during this first meeting, the student will be given suggestions for next steps. When appropriate, courses related to business literacy will be suggested. The three pillars of business are finance, marketing, and management; courses related to all three fields are available at Gettysburg College.
All students interested in management as a major must meet with Bennett Bruce, the Pre-Business Advisor prior to declaration.

Preservation Of The Minutes
Minutes, Meetings And Manners
Read More Articles About: The Training of a Secretary
Preservation Of The Minutes
( Originally Published 1922 )
The minutes and all reports, financial statements, balance sheets, requests for appropriations, resolutions and whatever else is to come before the meeting are pre-pared on sheets of equal size, one copy of each being retained for the minute book, one copy for a purpose to be hereafter described and one copy mailed under sealed cover, to each director a few days before the date of the meeting, for his inspection and study. The sheets may be printed, mimeographed, multigraphed, reproduced by the gelatine process or by automatic typewriters of the Hooven type, or in any other legible manner.
Each director has in his office a cover or folder of proper size into which his sheets are bound temporarily. They are retained say for six months, when they are destroyed or returned to the office of the corporation to be destroyed there. It goes without saying that the folders are kept where they can-not be examined by inquisitive persons.
The first sheets which are retained by the secretary as indicated above, are bound in his office perhaps in more substantial covers, the last sheet on top and the subjects simply indexed by cards for easy reference. At the end of a year or other convenient period, the sheets are rearranged and numbered, page one being the earliest minutes in point of time in the binder, the sheets then following each other in order as they are referred to in the minutes of succeeding meetings. An accurate index is then made including every subject which has come within the business of the year, and this cross indexed; so that in a moment reference can be made to any matter which may be for the time under consideration. The minutes are, or should be an exact history of the business of the company or organization. They cannot be too carefully indexed.
The index and all the sheets are then bound into a substantial volume, each sheet being signed by the secretary before it leaves his office, if this be considered necessary or desirable. The bound book is lettered inside and out with the name of the corporation, the volume number and the year. It is convenient also to place the year on each cover, as well as on the back; or the minutes may be bound in one volume and the supporting documents in another, both being carefully indexed. This is preferable in my opinion.
In either case, the second copy of each sheet retained by the secretary is filed in a strong collapsible envelope with its fellows and perhaps a supporting letter or memorandum or a bulky report or other document which is not of sufficient importance to be duplicated but still of interest, meeting by meeting. These envelopes properly inscribed one to each meeting, are filed in a separate safe from the one which contains the minute books and of course would be of value in case of an accident to the books. If considered desirable, the envelopes may take the place of the book of supporting sheets mentioned in the paragraph above. This makes for simplicity, but reference is not quite so easy.

Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville, Arkansas was on lockdown after there were reports of a suspicious person at the facility, reports THV 11. The base gates were locked and nobody went in or out of the base. A six traumatic hours, the lockdown was lifted and the all-clear was given at 5:30 p.m.
Here's what we know so far:
1. There Is a Search On for the 'Suspicious Person'
The lockdown was called at 11:45 a.m. Eastern time. There were reports of a suspicious person on the base. All resources were put into locating the individual. According to Arkansas Online, a statement from the base said the lockdown was "in the interest of protecting all base members and resources from a suspicious individual."
Outside the LRAFB, it's on lockdown. pic.twitter.com/7tZmzVXUMI
— Adriana Futrell (@AdriNews4Photog) July 23, 2014
2. The Base Is Not Calling It an 'Active Shooter Situation
According to KATV, the a base spokesperson said that there is a suspicious person at the facility but that it is not an active shooter situation. The spox said:
Our highly trained emergency personnel are responding and we are on lockdown for the safety of our Airmen and their families. That is all we know at this time.
Jacksonville, Arkansas, is located 15 miles north of the state capital, Little Rock. Local police are referring questions about the lockdown to base officials.
3. The Base Was in Training for a Shooter Scenario When the Lockdown Happened
Arkansas Online is reporting that the base was training for emergency situations throughout July 22 and 23. A base spokesperson told them that a "real world" situation ended the exercise as the base went into lockdown. The Jacksonville Patriot reported on July 21, that those in the area should expect delays around or near the base due to the training. The paper specified that it didn't expect the training to impact the surrounding community too much.
4. People Living on the Base Have Been Told to Stay Indoors
Those who live on the base are being instructed to stay indoors and lock all doors and windows. In addition to being active military base, on July 15, Carolina Panthers running back, Jonathan Stewart, ran a football camp for kids at the facility earlier in July:
According to Military.com, the base is spread across 6,000 acres.
5. The Base Is Home to the C-130 Training Center
Little Rock Air Force Base is the Department of Defense training base for the C-130 troop transport plane. In 1980, an airman at the base was killed when a Titan-II missile he was conducting maintenance on exploded following an accident.

Nephelometry Practical Procedure Please?! Anyone? - What reagents etc and how much? (Nov/12/2010 )
I have spent days looking for a practical procedures for me to carry out quantitative immunoglobulins test (nephelometry) but havn't found one yet. i am after what methods are done and using what reagents please. A practical schedule would be the best thing i am looking for.
I was wondering if someone could help. any links, ideas etc would be great thanks.
There are many manufacturers that have test kits for this type of test (ie testing for human IgG, M, etc). The first place to start for ANY development of a test that is already in the market place or similar to one in the market (for sale) is to obtain package inserts. Examine them for information ie similarities, buffers, components, concentrations etc.
Here is a starting point for you:
Specific antibodies are readily avialble from a number of sources. Chemicals are common and widely available.
There are other package inserts and you should examine them for analytical range and any missing information that you may need.
let us know if you need additional help.

( Originally Published 1897 )
In very recent times, however, our bacteriologists have been pointing out to the world certain entirely new means of assisting the body to fight its battles with bacterial diseases. As already noticed, one of the primal forces in the recovery, from some diseases, at least, is the development in the body of a substance which acts as an anti-dote to the bacterial poison. So long as this antitoxine is not present the poisons produced by the disease will have their full effect to weaken the body and prevent the revival of its resisting powers to drive off the bacteria. Plainly, if it is possible to obtain this antitoxine in quantity and then inoculate it into the body when the toxic poisons are present, we have a means for decidedly assisting the body in its efforts to drive off the parasites. Such an antidote to the bacterial poison would not, indeed, produce a cure, but it would perhaps have the effect of annulling the action of the poisons, and would thus give the body a much greater chance to master the bacteria. It is upon this principle that is based the use of antitoxines in diphtheria and tetanus.
It will be clear that to obtain the antitoxine we must depend upon some natural method for its production. We do not know enough of the chemical nature of the antitoxines to manufacture them artificially. Of course we can not deny the possibility of their artificial production, and certain very recent experiments indicate that perhaps they may be made by the agency of electricity. At present, however, we must use natural methods, and the one commonly adopted is simple. Some animal is selected whose blood is harmless to man and that is subject to the disease to be treated. For diphtheria a horse is chosen. This animal is inoculated with small quantities of the diphtheria poison without the diphtheria bacillus. This poison is easily obtained by causing the diphtheria bacillus to grow in common media in the laboratory for a while, and the toxines develop in quantity; then, by proper filtration, the bacteria themselves can be removed, leaving a pure solution of the toxic poison. Small quantities of this poison are inoculated into the horse at successive intervals. The effect on the horse is the same as if the animal had the disease. Its cells react and produce a considerable quantity of the antitoxine which remains in solution in the blood of the animal. This is not theory, but demonstrated fact. The blood of a horse so treated is found to have the effect of neutralizing the diphtheria poison, al-though the blood of the horse before such treatment has no such effect. Thus there is developed in the horse's blood a quantity of the antitoxine, and now it may be used by physicians where needed. If some of this horse's blood, properly treated, be inoculated into the body of a person who is suffering from diphtheria, its effect, provided the theory of antitoxines is true, will be to counteract in part, at least, the poisons which are being produced in the patient by the diphtheria bacillus. This does not cure the disease nor in itself drive off the bacilli; but it does protect the body from the poisons to such an extent as to enable it more readily to assert its own resisting powers.
This method of using antitoxines as a help in curing disease is very recent, and we can not even guess what may come of it. It has apparently been successfully applied in diphtheria. It has also been used in tetanus with slight success. The same principle has been used in obtaining an antidote for the poison of snake bites, since it has appeared that in this kind of poisoning the body will develop an antidote to the poison if it gets a chance. Horses have been treated in the same way as with the diphtheria poison, and in the same way they develop a substance which neutralizes the snake poison. Other diseases are being studied to-day with the hope of similar results. How much further the principle will go we can not say, nor can we be very confident that the same principle will apply very widely. The parasitic diseases are so different in nature that we can hardly expect that a method which is satisfactory in meeting one of the diseases will be very likely to be adapted to another. Vaccination has proved of value in smallpox, but is not of use in other human diseases. Inoculation with weakened germs has proved of value in anthrax and fowl cholera, but will not apply to all diseases. Each of these parasites must be fought by special methods, and we must not expect that a method that is of value in one case must necessarily be of use elsewhere. Above all, we must remember that the antitoxines do not cure in themselves; they only guard the body from the weakening effects of the poisons until it can cure itself, and, unless the body has resisting powers, the antitoxin will fail to produce the desired results.
One further point in the action of the antitoxines must be noticed. As we have seen, a recovery from an attack of most germ diseases renders the individual for a time immune against a second attack. This applies less, however, to a recovery after the artificial inoculation with antitoxines than when the individual recovers without such aid. If the individual recovers quite independently of the artificial antitoxine, he does so in part because he has developed the antitoxines for counteracting the poison by his own powers. His cellular activities have, in other words, been for a moment at least turned in the direction of production of antitoxines. It is to be expected, therefore, that after the recovery they will still have this power, and so long as they possess it the individual will have protection from a second attack. When, however, the recovery results from the artificial inoculation of antitoxine the body cells have not actively produced antitoxine. The neutralization of the poisons has been a passive one, and after recovery the body cells are no more engaged in producing antitoxine than be fore. The antitoxine which was inoculated is soon eliminated by secretion, and the body is left with practically the same liability to attach as before. Its immunity is decidedly fleeting, since it was dependent not upon any activity on the part of the body, but upon an artificial inoculation of a material which is rapidly eliminated by secretion.

Authentic, comfortable accomodations in the heart of Albacin Dec 04, 2010
This was the cheapest place I could find on the internet to stay (as low as 13 euros per person per night) and ended up being probably my best hostel/bed and breakfast experience ever. The location is perfect - a bit hard to find - but on the most picturesque streets and within meters of the best views in the whole city. It is more of a guest house - you stay in one room in a house with a few other bedrooms, sharing the kitchen and common rooms with a few other people. But it is really like a HOUSE with beautiful furniture, decorations, heaters, lighting, and a balcony! The caretaker also gave us a great tour of the neighborhood upon our arrival. I would recommend this place for anyone but especially couples and small groups of friends. The rooms, common areas, kitchen, and bathrooms are kept perfectly clean! It really was a treat staying here!

The Federal Reserve's seemingly endless program of quantitative easing (QE) begun under Ben Bernanke, and continuing at a slightly slower pace under Janet Yellen, has some of the punditry and much of the electorate up in arms. With good reason.
Implicit in quantitative easing is the horribly obtuse notion that central banks can produce real economic growth through their monetary machinations. If only life were so simple.
Back in the world of the reasonable, the sole purpose of money is as a stable measure of value that facilitates the exchange of goods and investment. Quantitative easing, by its very name, involves the corruption of money's sole purpose as a stable medium of exchange.
In that case it must be stressed that QE has in no way boosted growth. The latter results from investment in new and existing commercial concepts, and for destabilizing the value of money, QE works against the very investment that would drive economic growth.
Worse, the imposition of QE can only take place when the White House and Treasury support such a move, the latter support speaks to a desire on the part of the White House and Treasury to devalue the unit of account (the dollar), and as investors are buying future dollar income streams when they invest, QE acts as an investment deterrent.
Looked at in terms of financial markets, QE similarly has not been good for stocks. Indeed, stocks have been rallying ever since word emerged from the Fed two years ago about an eventual end to the program, and as markets always price in the future, it's apparent that investors would logically prefer an end to what which logically does not, and cannot, work.
Taking this further, implicit in the suggestion that QE has been good for stocks is the view that the creation of liquidity in search of yield will force buyers into the stock market. That's fine, but for an investor to buy, another investor must be willing to sell. The better question to ask vis-à-vis QE is just how much healthier the stock markets would be absent this investment-sapping ball-and-chain conceived by the ever-fraudulent economics profession.
Another persistent view about QE that's popular even inside the crowd that is properly skeptical of it is the notion that QE amounts to "money printing." It does not. To be clear, the Federal Reserve has not been printing money. It hasn't needed to, and that's where the horrors of the Fed's machinations become most apparent.
To see why, we have to address the Fed's policy of paying interest on bank reserves. At present the Fed is paying banks 25 basis points for their "excess" reserves.
To the Monetarist School thinkers among us, they see IOR as the mechanism whereby the Fed keeps money tight, and in their perfect world the Fed would not be paying banks for access to their funds. They're right that the Fed should not be competing for excess reserves, but they're wrong about the impact of doing so.
The willingness of banks to lend money to the Fed for 25 basis points firstly speaks to the low cost of overnight credit that banks charge each other. At present banks borrow from each other on an overnight basis for roughly 15 basis points. This makes lending to the Fed relatively attractive. Still, this does not constitute "tight money." It doesn't simply because if the Fed ever succeeds in tightening beyond what the markets want, other sources of dollar credit here and around the world will make up for any dollar shortage.
Considering banks themselves, they never realistically have "excess" funds. Instead, banks long on cash are constantly lending to banks in need of short-term cash (the "repo" market); the lending taking place in return for the borrower showing quality collateral that merits the overnight loan. In this case, rather than lend their excess to each other at 15 basis points, the banks are lending it to the Fed at a higher rate of 25 basis points.
Still, it must be stressed yet again that this in no way signals "tight money." What it in fact tells us is that banks don't see quality lending opportunities, and it also signals that demand for credit is very low. This is basic economics. Banks would much rather lend at higher rates of interest to all manner of borrowers in order to earn more than 25 basis points on their excess reserves, but with demand for credit once again low, banks are lending to the Fed.
The lesson here is that despite what is broadly presumed by economists and the punditry, the Fed can't force money into the economy, nor can it increase "money supply." Money supply is demand determined, and with the economy still relatively weak, there's very little demand for the dollar credit that's been expanded by Fed purchases of bank assets.
What about the supposed "money printing" by the Fed? There's once again no such thing occurring. Instead, the Fed is able to engage in its program of quantitative easing thanks to its 25 basis point payments for bank reserves. With the funds borrowed from banks, the Fed has the means to purchase all manner of Treasuries and mortgage bonds.

Why would anyone think Jesus never existed? Isn't it perfectly reasonable to accept that he was a real first century figure? As it turns out: No.
Nailed sheds light on ten beloved Christian myths, and, with evidence gathered from historians across the theological spectrum, shows how they point to a Jesus Christ created solely through allegorical alchemy of hope and imagination; a messiah transformed from a purely literary, theological construct into the familiar figure of Jesus - in short, a purely mythic Christ.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
©2010 David Fitzgerald (P)2013 Dogma Debate, LLC
",excellent narration, debatable theory."
Maybe, depends on whether they are interested in religion, and in debating what a controversial theory, that at times verges on the conspiracy ideas of holy blood.
his narration was excellent, but many of his points seem to be addressing the miraculous Jesus of the religion, not whether there was a historical Jesus.
Yes, to address issues, and respond to criticisms.
"An excellent book."
it is a very interesting book. the information was to the point. and the narrator is very good and engaging.
"Great primer for the Christ-Myth theory"
A a novice on the CM theory, I found this book very accessible. He gets right to the point in layperson language. Definitely a good starting point. I have previously enjoyed books by Richard Carrier and Robert Price on the same topic but found much of the material sailing over my head without slow and careful reading and rereading.
Looking forward to his upcoming book "Jesus: Mything in Action" as well!
"great insight!"
read several times. Each time I gained more insight. very logical, very informative takes a honest critical look into the historicity of biblical stories.
"Very compelling and evidence based."
David answered many of my dilemmas with Christianity and did it with referenced facts and organized into a coherent narrative.
"A solid primer on New Testament scholarship"
3.5 stars
The title doesn't quite deliver on its promise. A more accurate title would have been: Reasons the Jesus of the Gospels Never Existed.
David Fitzgerald shows quite compellingly the events of the gospels couldn't have happened as written. First, many reliable historians wrote about events in Judea during the early 1st century, including some with a special interest in religious movements. They documented the existence of other faith healers and so-called Jewish messiahs, but none makes any mention of Jesus, who was supposedly famous and had throngs of people listening to his teachings and witnessing his miracles.
Second, the gospels as written have historical problems. The trial of Jesus could not have taken place as described, for it contradicts known Jewish legal practice. The Sea of Galilee does not exist. Mark alone made many mistakes about Judean geography and custom, which Matthew corrected in his gospel.
Fitzgerald also documents the surprising lack of biographical details about Jesus in the epistles of Paul, the earliest written sections of the New Testament. It's as if Paul were writing about a purely spiritual figure, not an historical one. Fitzgerald also notes the allegorical style of the Gospel of Mark, the earliest account of Jesus on which all the others are based. He shows the gospel writers weren't composing biographies or writing down eyewitness testimony. They each wrote for different audiences with different portrayals of Jesus.
The author presents enough material to make listeners at least consider the possibility that Jesus the man never existed. However, I don't think he constructs an open-and-shut case, as the title promises. The book actually works best as a primer on New Testament scholarship. It would serve as eye-opening reading for any Christian who still believes the gospels were written by eyewitnesses, or that historical research confirms them.
"Do Everything you write in audible also!"
I have several times already, YES.
David himself.
His voice! His attitude, his humor, his knowledge
The World is Screwed Because it's been Nailed
I hope he writes 100 more books, AND makes them ALL audible, I WANT MORE LIKE THIS!
"Definitely changed my thoughts on Christianity!"
The book really made me think. Although I am an atheist, I never gave much consideration that there may have never even been a historical Jesus. Mind = blown!
The numerous historical resources consulted
He has a very calm, rational-sounding voice.
No! I wanted to listen to a few sections, then turn it off so I could think and digest.
"I Lost my faith in Jesus"
Even though I have been an atheist for as long as I can remember, I always assumed that a guy named Jesus existed around 0-30 AD in Judea. Of course I never believed that he was resurrected three days after his crucifixion or that he could perform miracles that contradicted the laws of nature. These are clearly just stories made up by those who wished to glorify Jesus. Still, I assumed that there was an actual person to begin with.
David Fitzgerald, through this this relatively short book, changed my mind. It covers an awful lot of material showing the reader that none of the arguments that Christians use to convince others that Jesus was a real person holds up to scrutiny. For example, not a single alleged eyewitness testimony of Jesus was written by an actual confirmed eyewitness. The, gospels were written long after Jesus died, perhaps by as much as a 100 years. Moreover, the writings about Jesus contradict each other, not just on minor details such as what day Jesus died or whether there was or was not a rock in front of his tomb after his resurrection, but also what type of character he was. Was he a humble drawn back son of a carpenter who tried to stay out of the limelight or did he walk around proclaiming to all that he was the son of God?
In addition, Fitzgerald gives many examples of things in the new testament that directly contradicts other more reliable and unbiased sources from the same time. For instance there were several trusted historians writing about events in Judea at the time of Jesus but none of them even mentions him even though according to the new testament he caused quite an uproar. Indeed, of the four gospels only Luke actually claims to be writing history. Astronomers also strangely failed to notice the three days of darkness that texts in the new testament claim happened.
For being such a short book, it is very forceful. I doubt that any readers who believe in Jesus will walk away from this book unaffected.
Love this book as it's an absolute must for all people who have interaction with Christianity. The truths expressed in this book about Jesus not actually existing is very accurate and I'm impressed at the complete unraveling of the myth of Jesus.
"Something to think about..."
I am a person who constantly seeks truth and meaning to our lives.. I was brought up going to church and eventually, as an adult, attended an evangelistic church for a year.. I thought this church would help me find answers I could not figure out.. It didn't, but rather, added to my questions about all I'd been taught. So much of it just didn't make sense, and having people say things like "you just have to have faith", is not an answer anyone who truly wants to find answers can just blindly accept.. This book answers a lot of questions I've had, or rather, brings up the questions I've had and states why they make no sense and why they could not have happened the way we have been told, or the way the bible has been interpreted... It's full of historical documentation and facts that really just can't be refuted, that is, if you are open to the truth...
Not to put words in the authors mouth, but I ended with the impression that he is an atheist who does not believe in any kind of God.. I, however, do believe there is a creator, God, the power, the source, whatever one chooses to call it, and I do believe there is a spiritual world.. I don't believe we are here, and then just gone.. So it isn't that I'm blindly believing everything this man says, but quite honestly, the points he makes about Jesus and how Christianity began can't be ignored...
"Seems like a collectesummary of Bart Erhmans books"
This book was ok. but the author told nothing new on this subject. If you're interested in this subject, I suggest reading books by Bart Erhman or Robert M. Price instead of this book.

Warning: if you don't want to have radical rock 'n' roll jams stuck in your head for the rest of the day, turn away now. We'll all laugh at you and call you a "music coward" behind your back, but at least you'll have your sanity intact, and that has to be worth something, right? All right, for those intrepid souls who remain, welcome to the world premiere of Liam Lynch's The Adventures of The Sweet Electric, the best damn show in town about an intergalactically popular rock band made up of Androgynoids, which, yes, are androgynous robots that would give the Thin White Duke a run for his money.
In today's debut episode, "Defender", our heroes – V1ctor, Robbie, and Shay – board an abandoned luxury ship on the way to their next gig. But wait… where are all the escape pods? And why is there so much blood on the walls? Fortunately for The Sweet Electric, Robbie's got a comic book that might just help them get out of this mess.
Want to know more about the greatest fictional band to grace screens since Spinal Tap? Check out this scintillating interview with the band, and take a look at what else is in store this season.

This Highlands "white" teacher who pleaded guilty to two counts of indecency with a child was sentenced Monday to ten years of probation.
Prosecutors said Norman Christopher Slaughter, 46, sexually molested two young girls years ago when they were students at Highlands Elementary School. Investigators confirmed that Slaughter was the health, math, science and social studies teacher for both girls.
Instead of serving jail time, this honk was sentenced to probation and must register as a sex offender.
Prosecutors said the families involved agreed to the deal, but one father now says he wishes he'd made a different choice.
"He may have got probation out of this, and all this crap, but that's not good enough for somebody who does that to a little girl—I mean that's sad," he said.
The victim's father said he hopes, if there are other victims, they would come forward to bring new charges that could put Slaughter away.

I just wanted to check with others, in the Star Trek original series episode "The Changeling", when Nomad enters engineering and adjusts the engines to move faster than they are designed to do, does Scotty call out 'watch that polymath?'. I find the episode addresses a range of problems concerning intelligence and learning.
- I Believe he said Polymass --TOSrules 02:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah: "Watch your panels, everyone. Watch that polymass." --Alan del Beccio 02:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Seems Flare had a weak discussion on it. --Alan del Beccio 02:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, are you sure from a script, that the word is polymass and not polymath. The reason I am interested is that the entire episode seems to treat a mind set which learns extemely fast and becomes extremely dangerous. A polymath is a extremely fast learner in a variety of fields, many of them over the centuries have been great, but the mind set has its drawbacks. For one thing geniuses are sometimes very logical and do not take well to Human relationships. Then you have Uhura whose mind gets eradicated and they take the trouble of showing her learning. Well it just seemed the reference to 'watch that polymath' was an interesting clue to the meaning of the show. Another point of interest to me are the words 'Tan Ru' which Spock utters during the mind meld with Nomad. 'Tan Ru' or 'Ton Ru' is the name of the 'Other' that Nomad encountered in deep space. Could Tan Ru be an anagram for nature? The highly absorptive polymath mind encounters nature with all sorts of interesting consequences?
