Luce built on the foundations laid by his newspapering forebears. The likes of Pulitzer, Hearst, McCormick, and Ochs — along with such families as the Metcalfs of Providence, the Taylors of Boston, the Binghams of Louisville, and the Chandlers of Los Angeles. Together, these clans created discrete mass markets in cities across the nation.
Assisted by his circulation wizard, Boston-born Roy Larsen, Luce plumed and consolidated a demand for intellectual goods in much the same way that Sears and Roebuck sold retail goods on the by-now-defunct frontier — through the US mail.
Brinkley explains that Time "was almost perfectly designed to respond to several of the most important social changes of its era." These included "the increasing pace of modern life, the growing nationalization of commerce, and the need of middle-class people to know much more about the nation and the world."
Reviewers reviewed When a book of this import is written by a scholar of such distinction, the reviews are usually a cut above the ordinary. The Washington Post tapped Jonathan Yardley from its Pulitzer bench to assay The Publisher. Yardley pronounced it "magisterial." In reviewer speak, "magisterial" is reserved for works of the highest order, books combining seriousness of authorial intent and execution with eminent subject matter.
Translation: five stars.
To ensure purity of message in a piece that was sure to be read for special nuance, Murdoch's Wall Street Journal dispatched Edward Kosner, a writer whose vast editorial experience almost qualifies him to be considered a mini-mogul himself. Kosner edited Newsweek, New York magazine, Esquire, and the New York Daily News. As a connoisseur of publishers (including Murdoch) who have been known to bite the heads off editors before devouring their torsos, bones and all, Kosner is well suited to the task.
Kosner is particularly good on the intersection of Luce's politics with his taste for talent: "Despite Luce's ideological fervor, his magazines recruited some stellar journalists and writers, including John Hersey, James Agee, and Theodore H. White, all of whom left Time, Inc. or were driven away. Luce forced out Teddy White in 1946 because he was too critical of Chiang Kai-sheck's corrupt regime — although White was back in Luce's good graces by November 1963, when he delivered his famous 'Camelot' interview with the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy. During Vietnam, Time notoriously attacked American reporters (including its own correspondents) who were warning that the war was being lost."
Translation: Luce was a great man, but an SOB.
The Sunday New York Times Book Review commissioned the newspaper's own executive editor, Bill Keller, to do the honors in a marquee front-page review. This made it a meta-media event in and of itself: the titular pope of journalism reviews a biography of an undeniably historical and controversial publisher written by the offspring of a television broadcasting legend. (Yes, Alan Brinkley is the late David's son.)
Keller, too, does not disappoint, writing less of a review and more of an essay. In a quiet and craftsman-like way, Keller subordinates his insights to the demands of Brinkley's work. Keller's overarching theme is the double helix of social authority and professional integrity. The top man at the Times explores how those strands played out in the life lived by Luce. Keller is especially interested in comparing and contrasting how David Halberstam — himself a former Timesman and, until Brinkley's book, Luce's most notable chronicler — covered Brinkley's terrain. Keller's twin themes of authority and responsibility merge into a consideration of community, of the social compact needed to provide a workable context in which journalism and public opinion and social democracy can co-exist in a self-nurturing interdependency. Keller calls it "consensus."

text: 000 FXUS63 KAPX 290650 AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 250 AM EDT Wed Mar 29 2017 .NEAR TERM...(Today through Tonight) Issued at 247 AM EDT Wed Mar 29 2017 High impact weather potential: None. Pattern synopsis and forecast: Early this morning, quiet outside with no concerns. Outside of some low clouds that have worked into eastern upper from off Lake Superior, skies were clear. Good radiational cooling has led to temperatures in the middle 20s to lower 30s, already almost 30 degree spreads from yesterday`s highs. All the weather action was well south and west of Michigan, in Texas and Oklahoma. A closed off upper low and it`s associated sfc low and cold front were producing showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms were severe. Pretty straightforward forecast. The upper low will lift into the central plains through tonight with the sfc low and associated warm front making it into the mid Mississippi valley. Mid level ridging moves in overhead by tonight with ejected shortwave energy increasing through tonight. This will result in a pretty sunny start to the day, but skies will see an increase in higher level cloud. Cloudy skies will develop into this evening in this scenario, with saturation in the lower levels possibly occurring by daybreak, especially the GTV Bay region. Here, the atmosphere will be cold enough for the potential for a little snow and cold rain around sunrise, with the arrival of stronger low to mid level warm advection and possible upper level divergence. A touch of cooling in the low level occurring right now due to cooling from northerly winds just above the sfc. This will result in cooler daytime temperatures than yesterday. The high almost April sun angle helped temperatures climb a little higher than yesterday, and will go above guidance today. Readings in the middle 40s in eastern upper, with upper 40s and lower 50s most areas of nrn lower. Lows tonight in the lower half of the 30s. && .SHORT TERM...(Thursday through Friday) Issued at 247 AM EDT Wed Mar 29 2017 ...Wintry mix expected Thursday - Thursday night... High impact weather potential: Wintry mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain arrives Thursday - Thursday night. Pattern Forecast: Surface high pressure centered over Hudson Bay/NE Ontario that`s responsible for today`s pleasant weather will steadily move eastward, enabling developing low pressure across the southern plains to eject toward the Great Lakes Thursday-Thursday night before moving toward the Eastern Seaboard on Friday. This feature will be the focus for the short term forecast period in what has the potential to feature messy wintry weather Thursday into Thursday night. Primary Forecast Concerns: The main focus and challenges revolve around the Thursday through Thursday night timeframe in terms of timing of precip arrival, p-type, and amounts. What seems to be an overly common theme with this system is the envelope of solutions remains fairly wide at at this juncture. Model spread continues to result in high confidence with respect to a storm system across the Great Lakes region, but rather low confidence in the details as the latest 24 hour trends have shifted the storm system back to the north (vs. 48 hours ago, which featured a significant southward trend). As was mentioned by the prior shift, the NAM remains the outlier, at least in the upper level evolution of the system in terms of overall phasing between a northern stream wave and the parent low pressure system (in which the NAM features minimal interaction). Will rely mainly on a blend of the ECMWF/GFS/GEM...all of which are inclined to keep the system much more progressive. Increasing isentropic ascent Thursday morning will gradually overcome in-place dry air across the area from southwest to northeast. Thus, a steady increase in PoPs throughout the day with the steadiest/most widespread precip arriving during the mid-late afternoon and evening hours before precip diminishes from west to east overnight. In terms of p-type, this is where things become awfully tricky. Expecting the bulk of precip to fall as rain during the day Thursday as a lack of true cold air and late March diurnal processes should help to sufficiently warm boundary layer temps (high temps upper 30s to near 40). However, the expectation is for rain to be sandwiched in between two periods of more wintry weather. The intial threat Thursday morning continues to look fairly brief, but may result in a bit of wet snow falling across far southwestern areas. The more concerning window for mixed wintry precip will arrive by mid-late afternoon into the evening for portions of north- central and northeast Lower as precipitation continues to push north, rates increase and a gradual loss of diurnal processes occur. Expecting primarily snow for north-central/northeast Lower; however, at the same time, a ~100-125 mb warm layer centered between roughly 925-800 mb will work its way into southern portions (generally along and south of M-72) of the CWA during the evening, increasing sleet/freezing rain chances across those locations. With low pressure centered well off to our south, downsloping easterly winds are expected to keep locations toward Manistee and Benzie counties a couple of degrees warmer with rain continuing to be the predominant p-type. All in all, a fairly messy second half of Thursday looks to be on tap for a portion of northern Michigan. Wet snow accumulations are expected to remain on the minor side, ranging from an inch or two across far northern/northeast Lower...to under an inch elsewhere. See no glaring reason to remove mention of freezing rain and minor (less than a tenth of an inch) ice accumulation for locations south of M-72...primarily from Cadillac to Houghton Lake to Tawas. Precip may diminish to lingering drizzle/freezing drizzle across many areas after midnight Thursday night as mid-level moisture begins to strip out before continuing to wane Friday morning...pushing eastward by midday with partly sunny skies prevailing eastern Upper and northwest Lower for the afternoon, along with high temperatures topping out in the low 40s. && .LONG TERM...(Friday night through Tuesday) Issued at 247 AM EDT Wed Mar 29 2017 Broad west-northwesterly flow takes hold across the Great Lakes over the weekend with a weak wave or two sliding across southern Canada. This may result in a scattered/light shower threat, primarily Saturday night into early Sunday; however, most of the extended period is expected to be dry with above normal temperatures continuing. Beyond that, signals continue to suggest a more sizable storm impacting a portion of the upper Midwest/Great Lakes during the early to middle portion of next week. At this point, looks like all rain with perhaps well above normal temperatures. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night) Issued at 1145 PM EDT Tue Mar 28 2017 Only concern is potential for fog and low cloud development during the early morning hours, as some hi-res guidance suggests. Still no hints of this occurring, so will maintain consistency for now and leave out of the forecast. Otherwise, looking at just some increasing high and mid level cloud cover later today into this evening in light wind environment. && .MARINE... Issued at 247 AM EDT Wed Mar 29 2017 Sfc high pressure nosing into the Great Lakes will gradually turn to stronger easterly flow in tighter pressure gradient ahead of an approaching low pressure system. These stronger easterly winds will start late tonight and mainly through Thursday night as the low crosses srn lower. As this system exits east, winds turn around out of the northeast through Friday/Friday night. Small craft advisories will be needed most everywhere in Lakes Michigan and Huron, while it`s a little more iffy across Whitefish Bay/St. Mary`s. There, maybe Thursday night into Friday morning. && .APX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...NONE. LH...NONE. LM...NONE. LS...NONE. && $$ NEAR TERM...SMD SHORT TERM...MJG LONG TERM...MJG AVIATION...MSB MARINE...SMD

Sub-Saharan Africa boasts a spectacular landscape. Amazing sand dune formations, contrasted by the rocky terrain of the sun baked soil. Likewise its people are diverse and beautiful! But their lives have been adversely affected as a result of years of political and religious and conflict. More than anything we want to see the quality of their lives improve; illiteracy and poverty eradicated.
Christian values are the bedrock of JIL Foundation International. It was the clear voice of God that directed the creation of our organization. So in 2011 out of obedience to God's voice and our love for the people of sub-Saharan Africa our company was birthed. We believe education is the key to poverty eradication so it is the foundation of our programs. Our first school , The English Language and Computer Technology Center in Nouakchott, Mauritania has already impacted the lives of many who have attended, completed their exams and gone on to college and careers.
We are excited about the future of JIL Foundation International. We will be operating in four countries: Mauritania, Senegal, Burkina Faso and Niger. Our primary focus will be the rural areas and tribal communities. Our programs are designed to educate and empower people, close the gender disparity gap while developing entrepreneurs and support systems.

SOURCE: "Three Commentaries: Poe, James, and Joyce," in Memoirs and Opinions, 1926-74, The Swallow Press, 1975, pp. 155-69.
Tate's criticism is closely associated with two critical movements, the Agrarians and the New Critics. The Agrarians were concerned with political and social issues as well as literature, and were dedicated to preserving the Southern way of life and traditional Southern values. The New Critics, a group which included Cleanth Brooks and Robert Penn Warren, among others, comprised one of the most influential critical movements of the mid-twentieth century. A conservative thinker and convert to Catholicism, Tate attacked the tradition of Western philosophy, which he felt has alienated persons from themselves, one another, and from nature by divorcing intellectual from natural functions in human life. For Tate, literature is the principal form of knowledge and revelation that restores human beings to a proper relationship with nature and the spiritual realm. In...

Traveling With A Sense Of History
From Fort Ticonderoga to the Plaza Hotel, from Appomattox Courthouse to Bugsy Siegel's weird rose garden in Las Vegas, the present-day scene is enriched by knowledge of the American past
April 1987 | Volume 38, Issue 3
Now I am back home in Long Island, where it takes only a little 5-10-5 to make the roses grow. The real estate agent who sold me this 150-yearold house at the edge of the Sound gave me a handbill claiming that "among its occupants … have been a secretary of defense and a justice of the United States Supreme Court." I seem to remember her telling me that the secretary of defense was James Forrestal, but when I telephoned one of his sons to find out more details, the son said that he was fairly sure that his father never lived here. Such futile inquiries and such dispiriting answers are all part of the course of history. When the young Henry Luce went to Oxford and enrolled at Christ Church, his prospective tutor asked him what period he hoped to study. Modern European history, the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the young Luce replied. "Luce, I am bound to tell you that here at Oxford we consider that modern history ends with the Glorious Revolution of 1688," the tutor said. "After that all is mere hearsay and rumor."

Miller EFP Support for Southern Cross Truck
28 July 2003
Game Creek Productions' Australian connections have strengthened following the purchase of 7 x Miller Arrow HD tripod systems for use with the mighty 53' Southern Cross mobile production truck. Supplied by Miller Camera Support LLC (USA), the Arrow HD systems feature Miller's heavy duty 2-Stage carbon fiber legs with mid level spreader, and provide support for the New Hampshire-based company's Sony BVP-950 cameras and Canon 21 x 7.8 ENG lens combinations.
Game Creek's flagship truck was so named by President Pat Sullivan after he witnessed an awesome display of the Southern Cross star constellation whilst climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 2001. The name and memories of Australia obviously stuck. With the industry's largest Digital signal router, a 195 x 384 PESA Cheetah fed off an 80in/40out GVG Calypso Switcher, Southern Cross also features a 51' expanding area, making it the largest physical and technical truck in the industry. A sports coverage regular, the key duties for Southern Cross include general entertainment events as well as national sporting programs like The Super Bowl, the NAB Finals and the NBA All Star Game. Game Creek's Jason Taubman and Paul Bonner are responsible for engineering design of Southern Cross, and help keep it and the company's other four trucks on the road chasing weekly events that may be a thousand miles from each other. Miller EFP support gains in sports market The Miller HD tripod's high strength-to-weight ratio ensures fast, easy repositioning of 20-70lb camera/lens payloads up to the highest stadium roof. The rock solid HD tripod, new Mid spreader and a range of newly launched tracking dollies, complete the new look in EFP from Miller.

New county budget proposed
Display comments as

05/03/12 at 02:24 PM
Pike County should always hire local talent. We have the educated talent here to run our own government and they contribute to paying taxes here. The Pike County Clerk, is she from here or living in Pike County?
05/03/12 at 03:17 PM
Local talent should be considered, that much I agree. May the best one win! Are you trying to eliminate some competition there, Mr. George - or are you not eligible for some reason?
05/03/12 at 04:56 PM
No Jenifer, even if you told our secret it would not make me non-eligible. You know I'm good except for budgets.
05/03/12 at 08:32 PM
With equally qualified people, a person from Pike should be hired.
05/04/12 at 08:18 AM
I can't agree with that position at all - I think Pike should cast a wide net, and then require the chosen candidate to relocate to Pike. What you want is the best person for the job - not the best one that you can find in Pike. However, once that person is chosen, they should be more than happy to relocate to the place in which they manage; anything less would be wrong. Having said that, I can't disagree with the BOE's decision to let Duncan stay in Fayette; but only because the size of the school there makes it possible for his children to compete in sports programs that Pike doesn't offer. That seems reasonable to me.
05/04/12 at 08:22 AM
It is refreshing to see an individual address her elders as Mr. and Ms. I guess I am your elder, Jenifer. I remember when the pyramids were built. I haven't been addressed as Miss or Ms since I was the Madam of that house of ill repute. I always loved it when they called me Ms. Madam.
Smith is such a common name.....email me Ms. Jenifer email@example.com...we will talk about those days.
Are you still loved as much as you were? I miss your profits.

Did Mr. Sawyer not agree to relocate? Seems he knew it was 80 miles to home and office when he took the job. You are not going to find with a wide net a professional to relocate to Pike for $80,000. I disagree on Duncan and Fayette, poor excuse and a slap in the face to Pike School System. Do you agree with all the Clayton, Henry and Upson SUV tags unloading their children off at Pike Schools?
Thank you Mr. B or Mr. Blount...which one Danny?

text: GM Will Harness The Stench Of Its Nasty Garbage To Power FactoriesAndrew P Collins12/04/13 4:00pmFiled to: General MotorsGMManufacturing202EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink General Motors has begun a project that will effectively turn the stench of their garbage into electricity to satisfy much of their factories thirst for power by May 2014. If that isn't recycling, I don't know what is. Advertisement The $24 million dollar investment will put powerhouses at GM factories in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Orion, Michigan that harness the mix of methane, carbon dioxide, and other elements emitted by micro-organisms in their landfills known as "landfill gas."GM has been drawing power from these gasses since 1999, but only to power small elements of their assembly process. When the new project is completed, 40% of the energy needs at Fort Wayne and 54% at Orion will be met by landfill gas. Advertisement GM reports that "more than 14 megawatts" of power will be yielded, and that their development of landfill gas as a power source will save 89,000 tons of CO2 emissions— the annual equivalent of 18,542 cars on the road.GM global manager of renewable energy Rob Threlkeld asserts that the company has "made a public commitment to increase our use of renewable energy within GM to 125 megawatts by 2020."Good job, guys.

For #SquareSunday curated by +Matt Soave.
Another photo taken in 2008 that I never processed or uploaded, and it wasn't hard to see why since the shot was 1/20s on a f/1.8 50mm; a little slow and a little full of blown-out highlights and super saturation in its original colour. However, I liked the composition when I just looked at it so I decided to see if I could salvage something to my satisfaction; it needed black and white treating and a serious crop to take out the unsaveable portions of the photo, and it's not perfect because there are still some areas devoid of decent information from which to recover but I'm quite happy with what I could retrieve from the original shot overall.
As for the photo itself: I know it was taken in Beijing, and it's either outside a restaurant that we dined in on our first full night there or near a theatre where we watched some Chinese acrobats perform. Unfortunately, none of the photos taken around the same time as this give much of a clue.

I've had a similar Maroo case for a year. It has protected the iPad very well. The elastic handgrip is excellent - it lets me use the iPad one handed, eg when standing up on the bus. Only downside is that the faux suede gets dirty and has started to lift up from the surface of the business card holder. I'd buy another one.

Don't underestimate the importance of having one of the nation's top specialists on your roster. Tennessee and LSU sure haven't.
Over the weekend, the Vols added the No. 3 rated long snapper in America when in-stater Riley Lovingood became the program's eighth commitment for the class of 2015. His family has all kinds of connections to the program, as his father was once the program's chaplain and other family members were student managers. Lovingood will very likely assume the program's long snapping duties from day one in the fall of 2015, and he will likely end up a four-year starter. He was offered his scholarship one week ago today and tells Saturday Down South it was too good a situation to pass up.
Envision this, and you understand how key this position is: Tennessee is on the road at Georgia in 2016 and is ahead by one point with less than a minute remaining–the SEC East title is on the line. All the Vols need is a solid snap and a good punt out of their own endzone and they've likely sealed the division title. However, if the snapper launches one over the punter's head through the endzone, they've handed Georgia a safety and the title. Or what if the punter has to lunge to reach the snap and only manages to flub a punt about 15 yards and out of bounds, setting up an easy field goal.
Now you know why Tennessee offered Lovingood a scholarship, instead of taking a risk with a less-heralded walk-on. LSU was smart too, it landed Blake Ferguson last fall–the No. 2 long snapper in the nation. He'll be following in the footsteps of his brother, Reid Ferguson, who is currently the Tigers' starter at the position.
"The long snapper is a lesser known but critical part of the team," Lovingood told Saturday Down South after committing this weekend. "Your job is to snap perfectly every time so that the variables–whether it's on the road or at the back of the endzone–don't affect you."
Lovingood is definitely a critical part of this class, one that is already rated No. 7 overall in the nation.
Along with his family connections to the Tennessee program, Lovingood also has a major connection to one of the Vols' top 2014 signees–athlete Jalen Hurd. They both played for Beech High School in Hendersonville (Tenn.) last fall. Hurd was injured in the first game of the year and never returned to the field. They'll reunite on Tennessee's roster in 2015.
"It is very cool to be on the same team again," Lovingood told SDS. "He kept talking to me about how we both need to be wearing orange together on Saturdays. Jalen is a great athlete who I've seen first hand dismantle defenses. I know that he brings so much to the Vols. It was tough to see him injured in the first game. He was a key part of our team and I saw him work through the injury to get back to where he was, if not stronger."
Editor's note: Saturday Down South's references to ratings follow the 247Sports.com composite rankings for high school prospects.

The fish report is weekly. Its accuracy depends on marina operators, tackle shops and local fishermen we contact. Anglers catching large fish should send the information to Outdoor News Service, P.O. Box 9007, San Bernardino, CA 92427, or telephone 909-887-3444, so it can be included in this report. Faxes can be sent to 909-887-8180. Email messages or fishing reports can also be posted to Jim Matthews at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This report is published by 11 daily newspapers in Southern California each week. Frequently it is edited for space. A complete version is available through our Outdoor News Service website (www.OutdoorNewsService.com). The updated report is usually posted by Thursday afternoon. The fish report is copyrighted and any use or reposting of the report, or portions of the report, is prohibited without written permission.

MATTHEWSâ PICKS OF THE WEEK
1. The bluefin tuna bite is still the top pick even with a lot of wind that has hampered the bite for the overnight and longer boats running out of San Diego. Fewer full limits of five this week, but the quality seems to be getting better if possible. Most of the fish landed are 30- to 40-pounders, but 50- to 90-pound fish were pretty common this week. The problem is most anglers are still not bringing gear to handle these bigger fish. There is pretty good yellowtail and increasing numbers of dorado on these trips. For updates or to book a trip, call Fishermanâs Landing at 619-221-8500, H&M Landing at 619-222-1144, Seaforth Sportfishing at 619-224-3383 or Point Loma at 619-223-1627. Many boats are booked two weeks out, but this bite will likely continue well into September if not October and November. Most skippers are saying the yellowfin are likely to also start showing on the next full moon.
2. Striper bites are really turning on throughout Southern California and itâs really a coin toss where to fish right now, but Diamond Valley Lake probably has a bigger average size (4 to 9 pounds) for anglers trolling white flies through balls of bait. There is some good surface action early in the day, but trolling is the best bet.
For fishing updates, call the marina at 951-926-7201 or Last Chance Bait and Tackle at 951-658-7410.
3. For a different experience and excellent fishing, try fishing the lower Kern River in the Rancheria, Hart Park, and Ming Lake stretches for smallmouth and largemouth bass. While there was a pig 11-pound largemouth caught this week, most of the fish are 1-pound class smallmouth and they are packed in the pools. Most anglers are wade fishing in the very low flows (300 cfs range) and catching a fish on every cast at some times of the day. For an update on this bite, check in with Bobâs Bait in Bakersfield at 661-833-8657.
TROUT: Lake Hemet, Big Bear Lake, and Green Valley Lake are all good bets locally. Jess Ranch, while tough, is still producing limits for dedicated anglers. The Sierra remains very good throughout with water levels low everywhere. Top bets this week have been Crowley Lake, Twin Lakes (Bridgeport), Virginia Lakes, Silver Lake, and South Lake but just about the whole region from the Bishop Creek drainage to the West Walker River drainage has been good. Fly anglers are seeing very good fishing on the West Walker River, Hot Creek, and the upper Owens River. Other good bets include the upper Kern River with very low flows there.
BLACK BASS: Overall tough summer fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass. Still fair to good action in that narrow window at dawn and dusk for topwater at most lakes that have bass, but the mid-day stuff is tough. Top bets this week are El Capitan, Lake Perris, Lower Otay, Sutherland, Skinner, Cachuma, Casitas, Castaic, Diamond Valley, Piru, and Isabella with Pyramid, Cachuma, Silverwood, and Hodges not far behind. The Central Coast waters of Margarita and Lopez are still pretty good, too. The Colorado Riverâs smallmouth and largemouth bites are fair to good in Havasu and the main river below the dam. The lower river backwaters are also pretty good early in the day. The bite is fair to good in Mohave and reservoirs further upriver. The lower Kern River around Bakersfield is a sleep pick for its awesome bite on smallmouth and some largemouth, and there was an 11-pounder caught this week.
STRIPED BASS: Silverwood has been wide open on smaller fish under 2 pounds on anchovies. The surface bite broke open at Skinner two weeks ago and has continued good. Pyramid is also pretty good on small fish 2 pounds or under). Castaic also fair with some flurries of good topwater action early, but also mostly on smaller fish. Diamond Valley remains up and down but continues to produce the biggest fish in the region with a lot of 4- to 7- or 8-pounders. On the Colorado River, the bites are mostly slow to fair. The Willow Beach stretch is pretty fair on quality fish.
PANFISH: The tilapia action at the Salton Sea went in the tank three weeks ago and hasnât recovered. Donât go here. The fishing stinks and the flies are a nightmare. The redear and/or bluegill bites remain the best bet in most waters where they occur. Top spots include Perris, Diamond Valley, and Skinner, but pick a warm-water lake and the bluegill bite will likely be pretty good early and late in the day. Skinner produced a 2-pound bluegill this week. Big Bear Lake, Green Valley Lake, and Cuyamaca still have decent bites on small crappie and a few better fish are showing at Cachuma.
CATFISH: The heavily planted lakes are in fine form with twice-weekly plants at Corona Lake and Santa Ana River Lakes and regular stocks at Irvine. All three have fair to good fishing. For wild fish, the bites are now pretty good with Isabella, Diamond Valley, Castaic, Pyramid, Cachuma, and Silverwood all decent bets. The Colorado River also has good action on both channel catfish and flatheads just about everywhere now. Flatheads topping 30 pounds are reported every week in the lower river.

Doctor Who Magazine 404 features notice of confirmation of the great DVD schedule that 2Entertain has planend for 2009, which includes some of the series' most classic adventures.
February 23rd is the expected release date of a two-DVD boxset of The Rescue and The Romans, with extras including a documentary on writer Dennis Spooner, an item on Roman cuisine from Blue Peter and a look at the 60s female companions called Girls, Girls, Girls. Whether or not Motley Crue appear on the soundtrack for that one I don't know…
On March 16th we'll see the release of the Sixth Doctor adventure Attack of the Cybermen, from 1985 Season 22. There are no details on extras as yet, so this could be a vanilla release, although of course that might change.
Later in the year the 1987 Seventh Doctor story Delta and the Bannermen is released with extras including an extended version of the episode one and a documentary; Stripped for Action examines the wide-ranging comic strip adventures of the Seventh Doctor. Any mention of Death's Head, I wonder…? The relase date of this adventure is not yet known, and the same goes for the following:
- The Deadly Assassin – featuring extras The Gallifreyean Candidate and The Frighten Factor
- Image of the Fendahl
- The War Games – a mammoth 3 disc set with commentaries across all 10 episodes and one of the extras is the first installment of On Target, which takes a look at the Target novels series!
They're all huge releases, but there's a nother one!
Currently without a release date is the much awaited boxset release of Frontier in Space and Planet of the Daleks. This features the recolourised version of Planet of the Daleks, using the chromadot technique utilised in a recently broadcast repeat of Dad's Army. Other features include a long-awaited biography of the much-missed Roger Delgado (the original Master), an A-Z of Gadgets and two more Stripped for Action features – this time naturally featuring the Daleks! Subtitled Dalek War, you can read more about the boxset and the procedure for retrieving colour from black and white videotape images on the Restoration Team website.
Who said 2009 was going to be Who-lite…?

Room To Grow
The story about labor shortages, "No One Left to Hire" (Sept. 11), implied our company has given up on growth. In fact, Alessi Manufacturing Corp. has continued to grow in spite of the depleted labor market. To combat the overwhelming shortage of qualified machinists, Alessi has purchased over $3.5 million in modern, state-of-the-art equipment within the past two years. This has enabled us to grow by eliminating some of the technical skills otherwise required in operating manual equipment.
While going through this transition, Alessi had to decline several thousands of dollars of business that could have been handled on existing equipment if skilled help had been available. I think our business could have, and should have, conservatively, grown to be a third larger than it is today had we been able to hire skilled machinists. But we still continue growing to serve our customers.

Asthma is a respiratory disorder characterized by inflammation that occurs in the bronchioles (airways) of the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe. The bronchioles of the lungs become constricted and narrowed so that air cannot easily pass through them. A person with asthma usually has episodes of symptoms called asthma attacks and goes through periods in which they do not have any symptoms at all. An asthma attack can be triggered by various allergens that people are sensitive to, such as pollen, dust, mold, animal dander and smoke from tobacco products. Asthma attacks can also be triggered by an existing respiratory infection, and factors like stress, cold weather and vigorous exercise may trigger attacks in some people.
Asthma is one of the disorders that can cause chest pain. Unexplained chest pain should always be checked out by a medical professional, as there are a variety of cardiovascular and lung problems that can cause chest pain, some of which are considered medical emergencies. The chest pain involved with asthma is often described as a feeling of tightness in the chest. Not all people with asthma will experience chest pain, but it is one of the common symptoms that are caused by an asthma attack.
Asthma may cause other symptoms besides chest pain, including wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing. Asthma attacks may vary in severity; severe asthma attacks can seriously interfere with breathing, cause significant anxiety and may even lead to unconsciousness and cyanosis (blue coloring) of the skin. Some people with asthma may experience chest tightness or chest pain alone. Most of the time, however, the classic symptoms of asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath, also occur in the asthma patient along with the chest tightness. Treatment to keep asthma attacks under control will improve the symptoms of chest pain and make breathing easier for the asthma patient.

Cindy Crawford, in full Cynthia Ann Crawford (born Feb. 20, 1966, DeKalb, Ill., U.S.), American fashion model best known as a face of the cosmetics company Revlon.
Crawford grew up in DeKalb, Ill., near Chicago, where her father worked as an electrician and her mother was employed as a bank teller. In 1982, while working during the summer detasseling corn on a nearby farm, she was spotted and photographed by a local news photographer. The following year she entered the Look of the Year modeling contest (later renamed Elite Model Look) held by Elite Model Management, one of the largest modeling agencies in the world. Her status as a finalist secured her professional representation, which quickly generated modeling assignments. In 1984 Crawford graduated as class valedictorian from DeKalb High School and began pursuing a degree in chemical engineering at Northwestern University on an academic scholarship. She found it increasingly difficult, however, to juggle school and modeling, and in 1985 she dropped out of college to model full time.
In 1986 Crawford relocated to New York City to pursue a professional modeling career. Touted as "Baby Gia" in reference to her resemblance to the late top fashion model Gia Carangi, Crawford immediately secured work. Her big break came when she was chosen as the cover model for the August 1986 issue of Vogue, the leading fashion magazine, whose decision not to airbrush out the beauty mark above her upper lip—which many industry professionals deemed a flaw—set a new industry standard and ensured her eventual trademark.
Crawford's intelligence, down-to-earth demeanour, and athletic, full-bodied physique earned her a rare cross-gender appeal. She became the first modern fashion model to appear nude in the men's magazine Playboy (July 1988) and was chosen to host the fashion television show House of Style (1989–95), which held a 50 percent male audience.
In 1989 Crawford signed a four-year, multimillion-dollar contract with Revlon, which gained her international recognition. She was subsequently featured with fellow models Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, and Tatjana Patitz on the cover of British Vogue (January 1990). The grouping of several top models on a single cover attracted significant attention, and the models were chosen to again appear together in the pop singer George Michael's Freedom '90 music video. Gianni Versace, then a top fashion designer, in turn hired Crawford, Turlington, Evangelista, and Campbell to simultaneously walk the runway to the video at his couture show (1991), eliciting a standing ovation from the audience. The monumental event is believed by many industry professionals to have marked the official debut of the "supermodel"—a top fashion model who appears simultaneously on the covers of the world's leading fashion magazines and is globally recognized by first name only. Later that year, Crawford wed Hollywood actor Richard Gere; they divorced in 1995.
Crawford quickly gained a reputation for her business savvy and is widely considered to be the first model to diversify her career by venturing into multiple industries. She launched her own production company, Crawdaddy Inc., to exclusively manage her career, and in 1992 she released the first installment in her fitness video trilogy, which sold millions.
As the supermodel phenomenon began to rise, Crawford was at the forefront of a small group of models—known in the industry as "the supers"—who became worldwide celebrities, increasingly dominating both the high-fashion runways and the global media. American singer RuPaul captured the phenomenon in the 1993 hit song aptly titled Supermodel, which mentioned the year's top models, including Crawford, Turlington, Campbell, Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, and Niki Taylor, by first name only. In 1995 Crawford appeared in a major advertising campaign for PepsiCo, Inc., and was named the top-earning model in the world by the U.S. publishing and media company Forbes.
Crawford made her acting debut in the 1995 film Fair Game and appeared in the fashion documentaries Unzipped (1995) and Catwalk (1996). She also authored Cindy Crawford's Basic Face: A Makeup Workbook (1996).
The late 1990s marked the end of the supermodel era. Crawford again posed nude for Playboy (October 1998) to promote her ABC television special Sex with Cindy Crawford, which examined sexual attitudes in America. The show, however, received poor ratings. Following a partnership of more than a decade, Revlon opted not to renew its contract with Crawford. In 2000 she retired from modeling.
In the early 21st century, Crawford launched a string of signature products. She was also featured in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion
" (2009), which showcased the models who epitomized fashion during the 20th century.
Crawford has appeared on more than 1,000 magazine covers and has walked the runways of the world's top fashion labels, including Chanel, Valentino, and Christian Dior.

Leisurely Islam: |
ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "Café culture has been an integral part of life in the Middle East for centuries, but Deeb and Harb present it as a lens through which to understand the shifting morality of the people of southern Lebanon. This is an important and fascinating study that will be read and discussed for years to come."--Reza Aslan, author of No god but God: The Origins, Evolution and Future of Islam and Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth "Through the mapping of an emergent café culture that signals and feeds new desires for sociability and public leisure by 'more or less pious' youth, this engaging and nonjudgmental book guides us through the surprisingly complex moral rubrics and creative religious interpretations of a new generation in the Shi'a neighborhood of South Beirut. In marvelous detail, we learn how young men and women, and those who seek their business, are refiguring their neighborhood, social relations, and the whole city of Beirut, where class, sect, and geography are tightly interwoven."--Lila Abu-Lughod, Columbia University and author of Do Muslim Women Need Saving? "This well-argued and well-organized book will greatly interest all those working on the subject of the contemporary Middle East, in particular Beirut and Lebanon. The authors challenge the view that the southern suburb of Dahiya is closely linked to Hezbollah and they introduce a number of theories to better understand the new forms of leisure that have surfaced in Dahiya during the last decade."--Jørgen BÆk Simonsen, University of Copenhagen File created: 3/23/2017 | |

Two recent security incidents at the Veterans Affairs Department involved employees who didn't follow protocols despite receiving training to do so.
The Veterans Affairs Department reports on its IT and social media programs and how well it met performance goals.
Agencies are making progress in meeting the goals of an executive order issued by President Obama last November to encourage the hiring of vets into federal jobs.

LB Cushing back for Texans after knee injury
HOUSTON (AP) — Linebacker Brian Cushing had never dealt with a major injury before and wasn't sure how he'd handle missing Houston's last 11 games after knee surgery last season.
Exactly a week later, he found motivation when his son Cayden was born. When his rehabilitation got tough, his first thought was that he had to get better so his son could see him play.
Cushing was back on the field for Houston's first day of training camp Friday and says he feels great. The Texans are taking it slow with Cushing, but they hope he returns as the player he was before the injury when he finished with 114 tackles and four sacks in

Opening my own business
I would love to open my own women's clothing store one day. I want to open my own clothing store because I love business and fashion. Opening my own clothing store will change the world by supply women with fashionable clothes at a reasonable price. This in turn will give women more confidence when they wear their new outfit. There are several goals that I want to meet in order to open my store. One of those goals is finishing my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Another goal is to learn more about the fashion and sales industries. This will prepare me for what comes along with a clothing store.

When Jordyn Wieber was faced with disappointment on day two of the 2012 London Olympics, her fellow "Fab Five" teammates -- Aly Raisman, Mckayla Maroney, Kyla Ross and Gabby Douglas -- wouldn't let her spirits stay down for long. After the 5-foot-2 athlete failed to qualify for the All-Around finals while her teammates Raisman and Douglas advanced, the quintet's support system was stronger than ever.
The 17-year-old gymnast says that despite the gymnasts' individual success (Douglas, 16, earned the gold for the All-Around Finals while Raisman, 18, took home a bronze and gold for the Balance Beam and Floor Exercise, respectively), there's no jealousy. In fact, they're as thick as thieves.
"I think that's why we did so well at the team finals -- we were right there beside each other cheering each other on," Wieber told Us Weekly at the P&G Family Home on Wednesday in London of their July 31 gold medal victory. "If we were competing on any other day, we'd be in the stands cheering just as loud. It was really important to have that team support. It's definitely motivating and nice knowing that your teammates are behind you."
Besides each other, the Fab Five has been getting an impressive amount of support from celebrities including Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
"We were all so excited," Wieber told Us of the teen superstars tweeting their congrats to the gymnasts. "It's definitely cool to get attention from celebrities and know that they're watching you!"
The group -- that has an average age of 16 and a half -- will have more bonding time once they're back stateside.
"We don't really have too much normalcy ahead because we're only home for two weeks and then we leave for rehearsals for the Kellogg's Tour of Champions," Wieber said of the schedule ahead.

Simon Says….
by Lew M. Simon, Democratic District Leader, 23rd A.D. Part B
Rain, rain, go away! All we seem to have is rain and more rain. The summer has gone by so rapidly. I'm beginning to think we need Noah's Ark.
We are pleased to point out that once again construction on Beach 102 street by Tommy and Al Cantonese is back on target. Neponsit Adult Day Care Center, Hammels Senior Center and a number of doctor's offices will be coming in mid-fall. There are other offices to rent.
We are looking forward to the Cantonese brothers building a shopping mall in the vicinity. I have a commitment from several great stores that will be opening. Thanks to the Cantonese brothers for putting their money where their mouth is.
We are extremely please with Al Gore's pick for the Democratic candidate for vice president. U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman showed his independence and integrity during the Clinton impeachment hearings. Although a great friend to the President, he blasted him and rightfully so. That's my style and I like people who speak their minds. We look forward to Joe Lieberman being a great vice president.
We extend a thank you to Matthew Kessler for his assistance in the burial of my own mother and the loved ones of several board members of our Democratic Club. Matt goes above and beyond. His prices are one third to one half less than other out of area services. Unfortunately, we do not have a Jewish funeral home in Rockaway. Instead of traveling to the Five Towns or Brooklyn, the family can arrange for services at graveside or in a local synagogue. Matt helps the family make these arrangements. Matt Kessler is currently distributing a beautiful Jewish calendar for the New Year. It displays beautiful reproductions from the Jewish Museum. Synagogues, organizations and individuals can obtain this calendar by calling Matt (he is listed in the Rockaway phone book under funeral directors).
It was great to meet my fellow columnist the G-Man, Gary Toms. His great style and personality makes him a hero to many in this community. Keep up your great work and keep fighting for your beliefs!
Congratulations to newly married couple Steve and Denise Bradish. In 1994, during my election campaign for district leader, Denise Horan of the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department, at that time supervising dispatcher, volunteered to coordinate my petitions for election in Broad Channel. During this time my great friend Charlie Flohr introduced me to Steve. Steve and his friend Martin volunteered to obtain signatures on my behalf. He met Denise and became great friends.
From great friends to great romance...Six years later I'm the troublemaker responsible for this marriage. Denise was a single mother raising three children, with several health problems, going to college and surviving on a small budget. We are proud to say Denise is a college graduate with a degree in social work. Steve was always a great friend, always there for Denise and the kids through thick and thin.
We wish them 100 years of great happiness. Congratulations, Mazel Tov, we love you and will always be there for you.
Our next Atlantic City trip will be on Saturday, August 19. The cost is $25 with $15 returned. We leave at 5:30 p.m. and return at 8 a.m. Call my office now for reservations.
We meet every Thursday evening at the Good Government Democratic Club from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. We are located at 112-20 Beach Channel drive (opposite Waldbaum's).

AdvertisementThe much-sought after BRZ STI, a car potentially so wonderful and magical and perfect it could usher in an age of peace and harmony to last 1,000 years, is not going to happen, according to one Subaru executive in Australia who spoke to Motoring.

From the story, here's Subaru Australia managing director Nick Senior: Advertisement"The focus has been on growing [Subaru] sales around the world," Senior told motoring.com.au. "We are still reasonably small as a manufacturer and resources are limited and have to be targeted."That means at the moment there is no plan to have another STI model."But it doesn't mean to say that me and other distributors around the world aren't continually lobbying ... you respectfully suggest that there is another opportunity for an STI model and I am sure one day there will be."What it is I don't know, but I look at the product portfolio plan and there is no other STI on there."While Japan has gotten the BRZ tS and other handling-tuned special versions of the rear-drive sports coupe, no one as of yet has officially tacked on more power to its 2.0-liter boxer engine. The same goes for its Toyota counterpart. Well, this is a bit of a disappointment. I'm a fan of the Toyobaru twins and generally think they're fine as-is, but I'll certainly concede that more power will help sales, which haven't been all that great in the European market and some other places.

From A-to-B-to-C™
Graduate, transfer, and continue your career path
Some students attend Cincinnati State for two years and graduate with an associate's degree. After graduating, they can easily continue their studies as a junior and earn a bachelor's degree at one of the many four-year colleges and universities that welcome Cincinnati State grads. Then, they move on with their career.
A-to-B-to-C at Cincinnati State enables them accomplish this, primarily through the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees, often called pre-baccalaureate or "university parallel" degrees. These programs provide the first two years of a bachelor's degree and prepare students for transfer to a four-year college or university.
It is important that students know the bachelor's degree requirements of any institution where they plan to transfer. Cincinnati State can customize these degree programs to meet the general and programmatic requirements of the institution where a student plans to complete a bachelor's degree.
A-to-B-to-C: Associate of Arts degree
The Associate of Arts degree provides the first two years toward bachelor's degrees in program fields such as communications, criminal justice, education, English, fine arts, history, international affairs, philosophy, political science, pre-law, pre-mortuary science, psychology, social work, sociology, Spanish, theater, urban planning, and urban studies.
Students in the Associate of Arts degree program participate in cooperative education and internship placements. The co-op/internship placement provides practical training and enriches the academic experience.
A-to-B-to-C: Associate of Science degree
The Associate of Science degree provides the first two years toward a bachelor's degree in program fields such as biology, chemistry, education, mathematics, meteorology, physics, pre-dentistry, pre-medicine, pre-optometry, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary medicine, and zoology.
Through the cooperative education program, students in the Associate of Science degree program are matched with career opportunities in the community that provide the chance to experience their chosen career while still in college.
Articulation agreements
Cincinnati State partners with four-year institutions in the region and beyond through formal articulation agreements, and has a strong A-to-B-to-C transfer history with many four-year institutions. These agreements can be college-wide, divisional, and/or programmatic. As a result, many Cincinnati State students make their personal A-to-B-to-C plans a reality.
For more information about getting from A-to-B-to-C, contact the Office of Admission or join us for a free Get There session.
Go from A-to-B-to-C and get ahead—at Cincinnati State.

San Diego City Embarks On Regulations For Medicinal Marijuana Dispensaries
Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Aired 9/14/10
San Diego City Council has voted to start developing land use regulations that would define where medicinal marijuana dispensaries can legally operate.
SAN DIEGO San Diego City Council has voted to start developing land use regulations that would define where medicinal marijuana dispensaries can legally operate. Councilman Carl DeMaio was the lone dissenting vote.
The land use regulations proposed by the city's Marijuana Task Force were made tougher, so that medical marijuana dispensaries can only operate in certain light commercial zones and have to be 1,000 feet away from schools, churches, playgrounds, libraries and parks.
Currently, more than 100 dispensaries operate in the city. Kate Valentine of Americans for Safe Access calculates the proposed zoning would only allow about 15 dispensaries.
"They want standards, they want certainty, they want regulations," she said, " but by making the regulations too restrictive, progress on this issue will grind to a halt."
Councilman Todd Gloria says the proposal is a compromise forged to get enough council votes to move ahead.
"Politics is the act of what's possible," Gloria said, "and what we had to do was craft a series of rules that would provide patients with safe access while responding to the concerns of some of those in the community who feel that some of the locations are inappropriate."
The council was asked to add universities and colleges to the list of places which need a 1,000-foot buffer zone, but did not approve that addition.
City staff will now work on ordinances to regulate the location and operation of dispensaries and return to the council for a vote next spring.

$113 billion is spent on marijuana every year in the U.S., and because of the federal prohibition *every* dollar of it goes straight into the hands of criminals. Far from preventing people from using marijuana, the prohibition instead creates zero legal supply amid massive and unrelenting demand. The scale of the harm this causes far exceeds any benefit obtained from keeping marijuana illegal.
According to the ONDCP, at least sixty percent of Mexican drug cartel money comes from selling marijuana in the U.S., they protect this revenue by brutally torturing, murdering and dismembering countless innocent people.
If we can STOP people using marijuana then we need to do so NOW, but if we can't then we must legalize the production and sale of marijuana to adults with after-tax prices set too low for the cartels to match. One way or the other, we have to force the cartels out of the marijuana market and eliminate their highly lucrative marijuana incomes - no business can withstand the loss of sixty percent of its revenue!
To date, the cartels have amassed more than 100,000 "foot soldiers" and operate in 230 U.S. cities, and it's now believed that the cartels are "morphing into, or making common cause with, what would be considered an insurgency" (Secretary of State Clinton, 09/09/2010). The longer the cartels are allowed to exploit the prohibition the more powerful they'll get and the more our own personal security will be put in jeopardy.

I am glad that the City Council is setting standards
for the siting of Medical Marijuana dispensaries.
However, I am afraid that in imitating Los Angeles,
San Diego is about to make the same ominous mistakes.
MM dispensaries should be sited next door to police
stations, to discourage robbers and to insure that they are operated
within the law. They should be under 24 hour video surveillance.
Dispensaries should also be prohibited from cash sales.
All sales should be done by credit or debit cards, so there won't
be the temptations of thousands of dollars in tills to attract robbers.
The Council's understandable and commendable
concern with protecting neighborhood quality of life and preventing
access to children is unfortunately resulting in setting these
cash-heavy treasure-boxes in remote areas far from police protection.
It would be far more effective and safer to site MM
dispensaries to within a block of police stations. This would also
simplify police supervision of the operations, and prevent
tax cheating on the part of operators.
tapatio | September 14, 2010 at 9:25 a.m. ― 6 years, 6 months ago
The Marijuana Task Force is unnecessary. It is a waste of our tax dollars. There is no law that states we need to regulate where a marijuana dispensary is located. Please stop funding this task force.
tapatio | September 14, 2010 at 9:32 a.m. ― 6 years, 6 months ago
Why should there be a 1000 foot buffer around universities and colleges? I do not know where to start with this. This is beyond stupid. By being further than 1000 feet from a campus do you think college students will be less likely to purchase marijuana? Or do you think that the people that go to the dispensaries are a bad influence on college students? I really do not understand the purpose of regulating dispensary locations. Please stop wasting our tax payer money.
sclaw | September 14, 2010 at 4:39 p.m. ― 6 years, 6 months ago
Stop the anarchy.
Have FDA approve marijuana smoke as treatment for medical conditions.
Have medical marijuana be prescribed by real doctors and dispensed from real pharmacies.
Start with Congress and legalize marijuana at the Federal level.
Then the states can control, regulate and tax at the State level.
Do it right for the sake of the country.

When did the USA go back to voodoo medicine? Get some REAL studies on marijuana. Group A with real marijuana, Group B with placebo. Then switch to see who is lying. Group B with real marijuana, Group A with placebo. Test to see if marijuana really treats pain or it is just a mind altering drug or all in the mind of the pot user. Get some REAL studies. All this voodoo studies on pot are all ANECDOTAL.

Then test marijuana smoke on rats or some animals.
You have two rats with broken legs.
Rat A has marijuana and rat B has placebo. Which rat forgot about its pain and is walking?
Stop the voodoo medicine.

@sclaw Many blind studies have been done already. Here is just one. Do a google search and you will find several universities doing similar tests.
Smoked cannabis for chronic neuropathic pain: a randomized
controlled trial
Investigators at McGill University in Montreal assessed the efficacy of inhaled cannabis on pain intensity in 23 subjects with chronic post-traumatic or post-surgical neuropathic pain in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. Participants in the study received a single inhalation of 25 mg of 9.4 percent herbal cannabis or placebo three times daily. All of the volunteers in the study suffered from refractory pain for which conventional therapies had proven ineffective
Here is a link to the actual research in PDF form: http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/rapidpdf/cmaj.091414v1?ijkey=44cf2a4e01bb03581946f0ab6b7217d7a6e78f0b
Is this NON Voodoo enough for you? This research paper was done by the following professionals: Mark A. Ware MBBS, Tongtong Wang PhD, Stan Shapiro PhD, Ann Robinson RN, Thierry Ducruet MSc,
Thao Huynh MD, Ann Gamsa PhD, Gary J. Bennett PhD, Jean-Paul Collet MD PhD
Funny how the people that claim MMJ is Voodoo medicine or claim that MMJ has no medicinal value, can't seem to figure out how to do a simple google search. It took me about 3 minutes to find that information for you. If given more time I could find 10 more similar to that done by universities and doctors throughout the WORLD. (That's filtering out all the non medical community research/papers/opinions I am talking legit research) And that's just regarding pain relief if you want research about the validity of MMJ in general I could site 100!
Wake up! It isn't 1950 anymore YOU have the power to do your own research and think for yourself. I suggest you do so. Stop being a sheep and taught to just parrot what you've been told.

Abstract: | Although many descriptive studies of foraging mode have been performed, the factors that underlie the evolution of foraging mode remain poorly understood. To test the hypothesis that foraging mode evolution is affected by habitat use, we analysed two data sets including 31 species of West Indian Anolis lizards. In this genus, the same suite of habitat specialists (or ecomorphs) has evolved on four islands, providing the replication necessary to evaluate the generality of the relationship between foraging mode and habitat use. Using habitat and behavioural data, we conducted phylogenetic comparative analyses to determine whether species of the same ecomorph have evolved similar foraging behaviour and whether differences in foraging mode are associated with differences in habitat use. We found that Anolis species show substantial variation in foraging behaviour, including differences in movement and eating rates. Furthermore, variation among ecomorphs indicates that foraging behaviour is related to habitat use, although the specific environmental factors driving foraging divergence are unclear. Our results show that foraging mode is an evolutionarily labile trait that is influenced by evolution of habitat use. |
