LAFAYETTE, Ind., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The FDA has approved a clinical trial for a new and much more effective formulation of MethLock, a catheter lock solution developed by Ash Access Technology, Inc., a Lafayette, Indiana company focused on vascular access medical solutions to prevent catheter- related bloodstream infections (CRBSI).
"The FDA had approved a prior formulation of MethLock in May of 2004 for use in a clinical trial designed to study the safety and efficacy of MethLock as a catheter lock solution, compared with heparin, (the industry standard). The Company chose to delay the start of the trial because it felt that it could refine the formulation to be an even more effective and faster-acting antimicrobial," says Roland Winger, Vice President, Engineering and Quality Assurance. "Having reached the targets we wanted, we resubmitted our formula to the FDA, and are pleased that we have been approved to proceed with the clinical trial, using the updated formulation."
The dominant catheter lock solution in the marketplace is currently heparin, which is primarily an anticoagulant. In contrast, MethLock is designed not only as an anticoagulant to minimize clotting, but also with an antibacterial function to minimize bacterial growth and biofilm buildup between uses of a central venous catheter. The clinical trial is designed to prove the safety and efficacy of MethLock as a viable and preferable catheter lock solution in dialysis applications.
The Company has been working on formulating an alternative for heparin for over five years, given the problems inherent with heparin. These problems include thinning the blood (which sometimes causes patient bleeding); causing an allergic reaction in some patients; leaking of heparin from the catheter (because it has a different density from blood); and the fact that heparin does not have antimicrobial nor anti-biofilm characteristics. Biofilm is a thin layer of living cells, usually micro-organisms, which coat the surface of a catheter, creating an environment for bacterial growth.
"Heparin is used over 397,000 times a day, worldwide, as a catheter lock solution in dialysis and infusion applications alone. We feel that if we can provide an alternative that not only prevents catheter clotting, but also helps prevent deadly catheter-related bloodstream infections, then we can have a significant impact on reducing patient risk of infection and containing the rapidly rising costs of treating infections acquired in the hospital or at home when using a catheter," says Robert B. Truitt, President and CEO of Ash Access Technology, Inc. "We are excited to begin this clinical trial, so we can validate the efficacy and impact of MethLock, in contrast with heparin. If MethLock outperforms heparin in practice, to the degree we've seen in our labs, we have created a tremendous antimicrobial, consumable product with superior upside potential -- both for us as a company and for the patient population plagued by infection risks."
The company reports that candidates for clinical trial sites will be identified and finalized in the next few weeks, followed by enrollment of 400 patients slated to participate in the study. The clinical trial is expected to begin in May and last for 26 weeks for each patient, with a subsequent 26 week follow-up period for MethLock patients. STATKING Consulting, Inc., a Fairfield, Ohio company, specializing in data related services for clinical trials, will be retained as the Clinical Research Organization for this trial.
Ash Access Technology, Inc. is a privately-held company founded to develop vascular access technologies and methodologies to combat the deadly and expensive problem of catheter-related bloodstream infections. Dr. Stephen R. Ash, Chairman and Director, Research and Development, is a practicing Nephrologist with the Arnett Clinic in Lafayette, Indiana, and is a world- recognized researcher and patent holder in extracorporeal devices, sorbent chemistry, and vascular and peritoneal access devices. Ash Access Technology is located in Lafayette, Indiana in the INOK Business Center.

[UPDATED] Rodney Alcala Tied to 1977 Murder of Bay Area Teen Whose Mother Long Ago Forgave the Killer
While the Marin County Sheriff's Department is convinced
Rodney Alcalais responsible for the death of
Pamela Jean Lambson, the 19-year-old whose body was found near a trail in 1977, the case was closed without trying the notorious serial killer.
The DNA samples from the case have degraded too much to produce enough evidence to win a conviction, the agency announced.
"Alcala, who isn't talking to investigators, will still sit on Death Row until he dies," blogs the San Francisco Chronicle's Kevin Fagan. "But he won't be dying for Lambson's death. It seems that nobody will."
ORIGINAL POST, MARCH 8, 11:09 A.M.:A new addition has been made to the list of murder victims linked to serial killer Rodney Alcala, who is already rotting on California's death row for slaying 12-year-old

in Huntington Beach and four women elsewhere.
But Jean Lambson, the mother of the 19-year-old woman found dead in Marin County in 1977, says she long ago forgave her daughter's killer.
"This kind of thing doesn't just hurt the young woman, but it [also] cripples the family, such a terrible thing to happen to a family who's close," Lambson, who now lives in Utah, tells the Los Angeles Times.
"I forgave the man a long time ago not knowing who he was, and that's where I got my closure. You can't really exist properly with anger and hate and resentment in your heart."
Pamela Jean Lambson was at an Oakland A's game in 1977 when a photographer offered to shoot modeling pictures of her and handed her a business card. The teen later made a trip to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco to meet with the photographer. She disappeared after that.
Her body was found near a Marin County trail. Her death remained a cold case for more than 30 years. Marin County sheriff's deputies now claim a photo taken of Alcala in the mid-1970s matches a sketch based on a witness description of the photographer Lambson met.
A self-styled playboy who once appeared on TV's
The Dating Game, Alcala spent much of the 1970s bouncing around the country, eluding police by changing identities and locales.
In 1980, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to die for killing Samsoe, but the California Supreme Court overturned the conviction because jurors had been improperly informed of his past sex crimes. He was convicted again in 1986, but that was overturned by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals because a witness was not allowed to support Alcala's contention that the park ranger who found Samsoe's body had been "hypnotized by police investigators."
After representing himself in court last year, the now-67-year-old was convicted of the murder of the Huntington Beach girl as well as:
Jill Barcomb, 18, who was killed in the Hollywood Hills on Nov. 10, 1977;
Georgia Wixted, 27, a registered nurse killed on Dec. 16, 1978;
Charlotte Lamb, 32, slain on June 24, 1978; and
Jill Parenteau, 21, who was killed June 14, 1979. Alcala is now on death row at San Quentin.
Marin County investigators reopened the Lambson case last year as Alcala was being prosecuted. Other agencies around the country did the same. In January, Alcala was indicted for the strangling death of Cornelia Crilley in her Manhattan apartment in 1971 and the murder of Ellen Hover, whose remains were found outside New York City in 1977. He lived in New York at the time of their murders.
Police in New York and Huntington Beach, fearing there may be more victims of what one detective referred to as a "killing machine," released more than 100 photographs he shot. The photos--mostly of children, teen girls and young women--had been seized more than 30 years ago from a storage locker he rented.
While Jean Lambson long ago forgave the man who took her daughter away, the now-78-year-old says she's relieved Alcala is in prison, "where he can't hurt any other young women."

"that broke my heart."
Karen Hughes
"The fatwa says that there is no justification in Islam for terrorism. Those are words the entire world needs to hear. And in delivering that message, I know that the most credible voices are of Muslims themselves. My job is to help amplify and magnify these voices."
"Words of Muslims are important. It's important for people to know that Muslims think that terrorism is the epitome of injustice because it targets innocent people. People need to hear those words, and they're more credible from Muslims themselves."
"I can't imagine that I would seek to approach this job and seek to reach out to a wider Muslim audience without first seeking the advice, opinions and input of our American Muslim community."
"These are Americans who are just as American as I am."
"just as American as I am."
"We have a common interest in confronting terror and violence and hate and crime that is committed in the name of any religion, and we want to isolate and marginalize those who would seek to kill innocents, ... And frankly, who better to do that than many of our American Muslims themselves, who have friends and family and groups in countries across our world?"
"a dual-headed DAS for public diplomacy."
"But what I will challenge in any stories I see is any idea that we didn't want to help people. We certainly wanted to help everyone."
"It's offensive to me to suggest that somehow, as I've seen some headlines and some reports do, that people, that Americans weren't helped because they are poor or because of their race. That is anti-American. That is not what our country is about."

BOULDER, COLORADO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/08/13 -- eCrypt Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:ECRY) announced today a correction to its press release issued on Monday, September 13, 2010 entitled "eCrypt Technologies, Inc (ECRY.OB) Increases Potential Market by Over 4,800%".
In the press release, the Company reported that it expanded its potential market by over 4,800% through the development of an email privacy solution compatible with all internet enabled devices, including smartphones, laptops and desktop computers. Through a subsequent review the Company identified a calculation error resulting in an overstatement of the increase. The increase in potential market share should have been reported as "over 3,800%" (3,840%), not "over 4,800%" (4,835%).
While the increase in the potential market share with the development of eCrypt Me was significant at over 3,800% in 2010, it is even greater today at over 4,400%.
"In 2010 the Radicati Group reported the total number of email users world wide to be approximately 1.8 billion. Today it is reported that number sits at over 2.1 billion. The opportunity for eCrypt Me is still considerable," commented eCrypt CEO, Brad Lever. "We wish however, that we identified our error earlier, and for this we apologize."
About eCrypt Technologies - eCrypt Technologies, Inc. is at the forefront of data security, specializing in military grade email encryption and file storage products for individuals, small business and enterprise. eCrypt empowers people and organizations with the freedom to communicate fully and openly without risk of liability, reputation damage, competitive threat and other negative outcomes. eCrypt is the trusted first choice for those looking to keep their communications confidential.

Gerónimo was born in El Seibo, Dominican Republic. His father was a driver for a car service, shuttling passengers on the three-hour drive from El Seibo to the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo.[1] At age 14, César's parents sent him to school at a seminary with hopes that he would become a priest. However, his athletic prowess continued to develop, especially in basketball. He didn't start playing baseball until he was 17. Two years later in 1967, after watching him play on his father's softball team and seeing his prowess both pitching and hitting on the baseball diamond,[2] he was signed to a free agent contract by the New York Yankees.[3]
Professional career[edit]
The Yankees tried unsuccessfully to make Gerónimo a pitcher during his first professional season (1967). In spring training of 1968 he informed the Yankees that he wanted to end the pitching experiment, and later that year he was drafted out of the Yankees' minor league system in the Rule 5 Draft by the Houston Astros.[4]
Gerónimo made his major league debut with the Astros at age 21 on April 16, 1969.[5] He notched his first career hit five days later in the ninth inning when, pinch-hitting for Jack Billingham, Gerónimo doubled off the Reds' Wayne Granger.[6]
After the 1971 season, he went to the Cincinnati Reds in a blockbuster, eight-player deal along with, among others, Joe Morgan and Billingham. A winner of four consecutive Gold Glove Awards from 1974 to 1977, Gerónimo was an outstanding all-around defensive center fielder who combined speed and great range with a powerful arm. He was the starting centerfielder of Reds teams that won five divisional championships, three National League pennants and the 1975-76 World Series Champion. In the 1975 World Series, he hit .280 with two home runs, but is best known for the iconic image of catching Carl Yastrzemski's fly ball for the final out of the World Series.[7]
Gerónimo had his most productive season in 1976, with career-best totals in batting average (.307), hits (149), bases on balls (56), triples (11), stolen bases (22), and on-base percentage (.382). The following season he hit a career-high 10 home runs.[8]
He played the last three seasons of his career (1981-1983) in a reserve role with the Kansas City Royals.
In his 15 Major League seasons, Gerónimo batted .258, with 51 home runs and 392 RBI, 460 runs scored, 977 hits, 161 doubles, 50 triples and 82 stolen bases.
He also held the dubious distinction of being the 3,000th strikeout victim of both Bob Gibson and Nolan Ryan.[9] "I was just in the right place at the right time," he joked.[10]
Personal life[edit]
After retiring, he worked for the Japanese Hiroshima Carp, as a coach in their Dominican baseball academy, and he has been on the board of trustees of the Dominican Republic Sports & Education Academy.[11] He currently resides with his family in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
In July 2008 he was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.[12] He continues to return to Cincinnati for the annual RedsFest, Big Red Machine reunions and other appearances.[13][14][15]

This is a discussion on Anyone in America keep Liua shihi?...can anyone sex these? within the Hynobiid Salamanders (Hynobiidae) forums, part of the Species, Genus & Family Discussions category; I have 2, but I believe they are both males. can't notice a vent difference nor a body type difference ...
Hynobiid Salamanders (Hynobiidae) This group of Far Eastern salamanders are becoming increasingly popular in captivity, and thanks to the captive breeding efforts of one European hobbyist in particular (you know who I mean), they are becoming easier and easier to acquire. |

Rep: | Anyone in America keep Liua shihi?...can anyone sex these?
I have 2, but I believe they are both males. can't notice a vent difference nor a body type difference between the two. Any one got photos of sexable differences? Also, is there anyone else here in the USA keeping them?

Hi Paris, liua Shihi are an awsome species that's almost never available. That was until about 18 months ago when they started to appear in the US and in Europe. I think that all those that appeared in Europe, to my knowledge died unfortunately, but i do recall Erik Keyster gtting several of these.

Hi Paris, I do not have experince with Liua but in closely related Chinese Batrachuperus it seems easy in adults to sex them, very similar to Hynobius from Japan (old thread in this forum but I can not find now). Post detailed pics of the cloacal region of your two Liua. Adult Chinese Batrachuperus males have thicker arms, especially the forearms are thicker compared to female ones. The cloaca in females is u- shaped and more bulged than in males. The cloaca of males is characterized by a small knob at the upper beginning of the cloacal slit between the two flat and smaller cloacal bulgs. I do not have pics of cloacas of my Batrachuperus but will take some good shots next days. At what temperatures do you keep yours, what do they feed? regards Markus |

Combination Chemotherapy Plus Amifostine in Treating Children With Malignant Germ Cell Tumors
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Chemotherapy drugs use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin plus amifostine in treating children who have malignant germ cell tumors.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Childhood Germ Cell Tumor Drug/Agent Toxicity by Tissue/Organ Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumor Ovarian Cancer |
Biological: bleomycin sulfate Drug: amifostine trihydrate Drug: cisplatin Drug: etoposide Procedure: conventional surgery |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | High-Dose Cisplatin, Etoposide and Bleomycin (HD-PEB) Combined With Amifostine in Children With High-Risk Malignant Germ Cell Tumors - A POG Pilot Study |
- Feasibility from Efficacy StandpointThe hazard rate is constant over 1.39 years, then the probability of the occurrence of a failure within this time interval follows a Poisson distribution. The table below shows the trial feasibility probabilities associated with those failure rates. We define the probability of feasibility as the probability of observing a total of at most less than three failures in 25 patient years of follow-up.
- Assessment of Reduction in ToxicityDescriptive statistics will be performed for nephrotoxicity, hematologic and pulmonary toxicities, and inference will be performed for ototoxicity. Frequency tables of the occurrences of toxicities by grade will be tabulated for ANC and platelets. To assess nephrotoxicity and pulmonary toxicity, descriptive statistics will be calculated for GFR and DLCO, respectively. These statistics will be compared to the corresponding summaries on the appropriate population of patients from POG 9049/CCG 8881.
Enrollment: | 27 |
Study Start Date: | April 2000 |
Study Completion Date: | September 2007 |
Primary Completion Date: | October 2004 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the early efficacy and toxicity profile of high-dose cisplatin, etoposide, bleomycin, and amifostine in children with newly diagnosed, high-risk malignant, extragonadal germ cell tumors. II. Determine whether the use of amifostine can reduce the hematologic and nonhematologic toxic effects of this combination chemotherapy in these patients when compared to similar patients treated on POG-9049/CCG-8881 with the same combination chemotherapy. III. Determine the response rate of patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo surgical biopsy or resection. Patients then receive bleomycin IV over 10 minutes on day 1 and etoposide IV over 1 hour, amifostine IV over 15 minutes, and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 3-4 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients who have no disease after 4 courses of chemotherapy receive no further treatment. Patients who have residual disease undergo second-look surgery. After surgery, patients who still have active tumor receive 2 additional courses of chemotherapy. Those patients who still have tumor after the 2 additional courses may have a third surgery. Patients are followed every month for 6 months, every 2 months for 6 months, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter until death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.39 years.
Ages Eligible for Study: | up to 14 Years (Child) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |

About Us
About Us
The Mission of The U.S. Tax Lien Association is to use all of our talents, knowledge, and resources to help make the lives of other people significantly better, to help solve the greatest challenges of our culture, and to only benefit personally in proportion to benefiting the prosperity of the lives of other people.
Meet the Founders
Tony Martinez is the Co-Founder of the United States Tax Lien Association, an organization that's committed to significantly and positively impacting the lives of other people. Tony states, "We're not just in the business of making money with Tax Lien Certificates. Yes, we teach the strategy of investing in Tax Lien Certificates, and yes, we invest in Tax Lien Certificates ourselves, yet the most important business we're in is the business of helping other people achieve their dreams." |
Saen Higgins is the Co-Founder of the United States Tax Lien Association, and the most sought after public speaker and trainer in the world on the subject of investing in Tax Lien Certificates. Growing up on California's Central Coast, Saen was raised with the freedom to explore the world around him and to learn things beyond what was being taught in school. Saen was surrounded by a large extended family, including, 4 siblings, 14 aunts and uncles and dozens of cousins. |
Why We're in Business
One of the most important questions we ask ourselves is, "why are we in business?" We didn't just pose the question to ourselves as owners of the business; we've sat in a boardroom as a team, and answered the question collectively. And, we didn't just answer the question once; we continue to have very deep meaningful discussions about our purpose for being in business. Rather than write an essay on why we're in business, we thought we would simply give you the list of answers that were given by the group. You'll notice that there's some redundancy due to the fact that we purposely did not edit the list. Well, except for spelling errors. This is a dynamic list that grows, shifts, and evolves. |
Here's why we're in business:
#1: | To be the #1 resource in the world for the best information, training, and resources for successful Tax Lien Certificate investing. |
#2: | To inspire, train, and equip others so that they can achieve their financial and personal dreams. |
#3: | To provide the ongoing support structure necessary to help our clients achieve the success they desire. |
#4: | To provide a better life for all of our stakeholders (clients, employees, business partners, joint venture partners, society, and vendors). |
#5: | To give people hope – not hope in a wishful thinking sort of way, but the type of hope that gives life, strength, and courage. |
#6: | To make a large profit by creating extreme value for all of our stakeholders, while making a positive difference in the world. |
#7: | To help our clients become truly wealthy… financially, spiritually, emotionally, physically, relationally, and mentally – and not necessarily in that order. |
#8: | To do our part in making a positive difference in the world. |
#9: | To help solve the greatest everyday challenges people face today by giving them access to the best resources for permanent – predictable – positive transformation. |
#10: | To give people the tools and resources to have FREEDOM: financial freedom, time freedom, emotional freedom… just plain freedom. |
We know… this may all sound a bit idealistic. However, these are the ideals that we pride ourselves on, and it is conversations like these that we will continue to have in order to grow personally, as a team, and as a company.
In short, our purpose is:
"To positively transform the lives of other people to give them the freedom to live the lifestyle of their dreams, and impact the world because of it."

Mixing instructions:Pour mug of Corona then drop in shot of Jack Daniels. Creator/contributor's comments:This drinks name can change determined on what the country of orgin your beer is from (i.e. Jamaican Hillbilly if you use Red Strip or German Hillbilly if you use Becks). I know this sounds exactly like a Boilermaker but look how much more fun it can be if you make it a global drinking game. The first time I did this was in 1991, Holland Hillbilly (Heinekin and Jack Daniels), at a bar in Naples, Italy. |

Grand Canyon Sunset
West Coast Oddball blankets are on the move. I finished my section of Grand Canyon Sunset yesterday by using a Garter Stitch Steps stitch. The stitch worked up quickly and added some texture to the blanket.
I was going to use a muted tone of the Mango yarn that AuburnChick used to start the blanket, but it just didn't look right. I opted for a turquoise from my stash which is brighter than I would like, but it was the best I could find without going out and purchasing a new yarn which, in my opinion, defeats the purpose of the Oddball knitting. I knit strictly from my stash for these blankets.
Update: October 8, 2008
It's finished

A famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a double take. He recognizes that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The storeowner replies "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale.
The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for that cat."
And the owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat.
The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish."
And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold sixty-eight cats."

The Autobiography of William Allen White.(Illustr.)At the time of his death in 1944, William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, was a national celebrity, proclaimed one of the truly great Americans of his age. Life magazine called him "a living symbol of small-town simplicity and kindliness and common sense." During his career White had managed to expand his circle of influence far beyond Emporia Kansas to include most of the nation. By the end of his life he had become a nationally acclaimed journalist and author of biographies, novels, and short stories. He was also widely known for his shrewd commentary on contemporary events in the national media. An influential Republican political leader, he helped found the Progressive party and was a longtime advocate of social reform and individual rights. But what endeared him most to his contemporaries was that, in spite of national fame, he remained first and foremost a small-town newspaperman. First published posthumously in 1946, White's Autobiography was immediately hailed as a classic portrait, not simply of White himself, but of the men and women who transformed America from an agrarian society to a powerful industrial nation in the years before World War I. |

A New Resource for Men
If you like Journey of Integrity… you should truly enjoy: www.owenmarcus.com.
For the past year and half I have posted a couple of time per week on men issues, men's groups and relationships. The popularity of the blog continues to grow.
I moved to posting on this new blog to build my platform for the book I wrote, Grow Up, Men: Your 9-step Path to Releasing the Remarkable Man Inside You. My premise is that as men we aren't bad or broken – we never got to learn how to be the man we want to be. Most men had more exposure to women when they grew up than they did to men. My dad was gone 12 hours a day when he wasn't traveling.
Don't get me wrong, I love women and I think they did a great job raising us. Yet, something was missing. We didn't have men to model. So today I see with many successful men missing something. Often the effect of that missing thing doesn't show up until they are successful. They hope success will fill that missing piece. When it doesn't they start looking for what it is and how to fill it.
It can be as simple as having a men's group to go to learn from the other men. He also gets to enjoy the friendship of men like he did in college or the military.
Sandpoint Men's Groups has its seventh year anniversary (with over 350 meetings) in a couple of weeks. Two weeks ago Brad, one of our members had a feeling there were other men in our small town that wanted what we have. A week ago he packed a room with 20 men who wanted what we have. Their first group meeting was a couple of days. Men left saying it was more than they could have imagined.
Brad is using the protocol I created to start and run a kickass men's group. You can get your free men's groups guide from our nonprofit, Men Corps. In a less than a month you can be sitting with a group of committed men. Go for it!
Check out www.owenmarcus.com. If it interested you, sign up for our "Toolbox of Change" (newsletter) and get a free book on the 7 Lies and secrets of Being a Man. There is an extensive resource page for men on the blog. I would love to hear from you. Comment on a post.
Commiting to Whole Conversation
I often have inspirational thoughts in my head that I hope will help me have a better life. Sayings like "do one thing today that will change your life" or "speak your truth from your heart" or "listen to be heard". The problem is most of these don't stick. I suppose they serve their purpose and then fade away.
There are a few, however, that do seem to stick. And I am really aware of one of them right now in my life. My inspiration is "I will commit to showing up for a whole conversation in my significant relationships (and sometimes my not so significant relationships)".
What this means for me is that whether it takes 5 seconds or a life time I will keep showing up until I feel connected and resolved. Specifically it means:
- I assume there might be more to say or hear even after a subject or issue has come and gone. Some issues just take a long time to resolve, if they ever resolve.
- There is always something more to learn
- If I walk away mad or with a grudge or sad there is more to say.
- That I have gained little in my life by not speaking my truth. Eventually it comes out anyway.
- I will have to wade through my fight or flight tendencies when I feel angry or unmet and make a choice to stay in for the lesson.
- I may not get what I want. The other person(s) in the relationship may choose to end the conversation early.
I figure most of its about me anyway and it ties to this other manifesto I have which is to have the courage to see myself more clearly, everyday. By staying in the conversation, by not leaving when I am mad, or fustrated, or hurt I give myself the opportunity to grow, heal and learn. In other words I get the lesson.
The beauty of the lesson? I do, for the first time in my life, consistently feel close to my spouse. We have had many of the traditional challenges of other couples who have not stayed together. There was plenty of anger, disappointment, sadness, etc. to go around. But we kept showing up. Neither of has yet said I am done. (Even though in my anger I really wanted too) I am also lucky my spouse Jody kept showing up too.
As an aside I have to give some credit to an old adviser Timeto. About 15 years ago he said to me, right in the middle of one of the most stressful times in my marriage, "you will know its time to go when you can do it with out anger and regret".
Right now I am experiencing this with my men's group. Something has shifted in our dynamics. What once felt safe, fun and really was something I looked forward too each week no longer was any of that for me. I still love the men in the group but I found myself not wanting to come.
We are talking about it. Its started several weeks ago and the conversation continues. It is hard and stressful and challenging and I want to stay home. If I stay home I don't have to speak about my anger or judgments. Nor do I have to hear others judgments of me or feel their anger.
But I know if I did I would be walking away with sadness, anger and regret. I would not get the healing. And most importantly I would miss growing closer to men that I care about.
The Power of Seth
If you have not yet come across Seth Godin I highly recommend him. He just thinks differently about the world and is a constant inspiration for me to break the mold and do it differently.
He is the author of Linchpin, The Purple Cow, Tribes, Permission Marketing and other books.

Why Do I Sweat?
No, I don't mean that kind of sweat. I am a guy and I can sweat aplenty. I mean sweat lodges. We just did one on Wednesday night instead of our normal group. Over the years I have probably done ten or twelve sweats. I often also choose to be part of the fire crew which means I get a double dose of heat from the lodge and the fire.
For the un-initiated a sweat lodge can be hot. I don't know how hot but compared to a sauna they are hotter. The heat and accepting are the challenge. I have always felt challenged by the heat in the lodge but never so challenged that I needed to leave the lodge before the sweat was done.
My most common experience was it gets hot and I would use the heat as a metaphor for pain and breath through it. I would participate fully in each of the four rounds (prayer for self, prayer for others, what I want to let go of and what I want to receive) and clear a lot of stuff going on for me and call it good. I also would have a dehydration headache because two hours of sweating even while drinking lots of water can be draining.
This sweat last Wednesday was different. Half way through the first round I wanted out. It was hot and the heat was making me feel claustrophobic. My normal approach of working with the pain and fear were not working. I made it through the round but it was close. Mostly pride got me through it.
The remaining rounds were better but still harder than I can remember. Part of the reason that I feel like it was harder is we did it just with the men in the group. No guests. We have been together for a while and can generate some power. Mostly, though. I think it has to do with where I was and my emotional openness.
The next day I recovered really well but found myself asking why do I go in to the sweat lodge? Is it worth the work and suffering? I so what happens that is worthwhile? My first answer was I don't want to do that again.
However, with some time I am again reminded of how much healing can take place in the lodge. The combination of the heat and the intent of the rounds can touch levels in me that are hard to reach any other way.
A lot of this is hard to intellectualize as I feel more than I think it. After the sweat I could feel this strong anxiety and sadness. The feeling was not located in a specific spot but just a general feeling.
The heat and staying in the sweat showed my shit. I realize now it was work I was avoiding. The heat brought it to the surface. Once it is up I can heal. That is why I sweat.
A New Men's Site
I recently started www.mansmanifesto.com in part to apply what we do in our group on a larger level. Over the years of being in men's groups I have learned a lot about not only myself, but also about men and how we change. I have seen that with coaching men that much of the change seen in the group can be fostered individually.
I also stated the blog as way to expand the dialogue about growing up to be the men we want to be. It takes a community to raise a child; it takes a planet to grow men.
Men's Training
The ManKind Project for 25 years has put on a weekend training for men called the New Warrior Training Adventure. Up to 60 men volunteers pay to assist up to 40 men experience the power of journeying through their own initiations.
I did the training 15 years ago and was immediately impressed with the quality of men who staffed the training. They were caring man who wanted to make a difference. Over the last 15 years, I have sent in some form or another 50 men to the training. Every one of them got more than they expected.
Last year Peter Clothier wrote a good article for Huffingtonpost on the training – check it out.
Many of the men in Sandpoint Men's Group have done the training. It is not a requirement to be in the group. Men do the training because it works.
No More Mr Nice Guy
If you are going to do men's work you absolutely need to have some foundational guiding ideas and ideals.
In SMG 2.0 we all began with Mankind Project as a model for doing the transformational work in our meetings and at least initially for the form of the meetings themselves, following their model for an I group.
Later we adopted and incorporated David Deida's work principally by requiring the reading of Way of the Superior Man. Deida's work has given us more guidance or direction to our understanding of what masculinity is.
Recently I have come upon another source for inspiration in our work as men, Dr. Robert Glover. Glover is a psychiatrist that gravitated to men's work. He spent 6 years writing his book No More Mr. Nice Guy. It is the culmination of work he has done personally and in his No Mr. Nice Guy men's groups.
He has been leading these groups for many years, often 3 nights a week and clearly has vast experience with the work. From my reading I find what he has to say foundational to the work we need to do as American or Westernized men. Much of the book I found as familiar, the work I have been doing for the last 2 years and in many ways took me further.
The metaphor I have for reading the book is like reading the travel guide after the trip and realizing 1. how much easier it could have been if I had the guide book and 2. I want to go back and catch the sites I missed. I am recommending this book to all of the men in SMG 2.0. It talks to many of the concepts that we already use, and some ground we already cover and I believe that it will clarify and focus the work we have to do, particularly for the men who are joining the group and new to the work.
One particular awareness I received from the book was the idea of monogamy with mother. I became aware of my essence in my childhood being married with my mother. No masculine influence ever came in to sever this connection, the purpose of traditional rite-of-passage experiences. As a result I can see how I have looked to women for my affirmations. This has showed up in all my relationships with women, and of course women would tend to affirm my feminine qualities and values. By severing this connection with mother and being in the presence of men I am now receiving my encouragement and affirmations from men and expressing my masculine with the women in my life. I am more confident, expressive and powerful.
Five Years and Growing
We just celebrated five years of meeting every week. The new evolution of Sandpoint Men's Group, smg 2.0 is currently eight committed men who continue to not only change themselves, but also affect everyone around them. Change is contagious.
In part of our work as a men's group I started a new blog – Grow the F Up – Men. The site is the seed for a book I am writing on how to grow up as a man. It can be simple.
What Drama Takes You Out?
I wrote a three part post series on the Drama Triangle describing how the victim, persecutor and the rescuer take us out.
Often we see a man in the group stuck in one of these or possibly bouncing between a few of them. We don't consciously always use this model to work with the man, but we can go back to it for clarity.
What is your favorite player?
Where Is Your Menspace?
A man's castle is often not his home; it is his private space. That place he goes to be alone, to create, to hang with his friends –a place to renew.
When a man takes on a partner, then a family he gives up a part of himself for something bigger. He invites others into his space – an act of generosity and love. After a while, what he might feel as regret I propose is not regret, but our instinctual need for space.
We are the hunters of the hunter-gathers. Our ancestors roamed, we need to roam by ourselves and with other men. We need to go on our quests. Business travel was the assumed domain for much of this journeying. Even when it was just men on the road, it wasn't enough.
The past couple of decades of Harley Davison's growth express men's need to be free. We spend thousands of dollars to put loud pieces of metal between our legs in some ways to escape the other pleasure we put between our legs. Before Harleys there were horses as the vehicle of escape.
If we don't want to ride our bike out of town, then we want to walk to our space. Here in North Idaho men have shops. Men escape to their shops to build, repair and just hang. Yes, often we escape to escape expressing our emotions. Yet, there is a light side to needing to escape.
Sam Martin spoke on "manspaces" at last summer's TED Global 2009 conference. His need for space spawned him to put on a tool belt for the first time to build a studio. Being a writer, he wrote a book on menspaces. In his research the found beautiful creations that were much more than crude spaces with pinups on the walls. He discovered men whose spaces were works of art.
We need space. Men need it differently than women. I can see it now… there will be a "menspace movement" to create our space.
Every Wednesday night for soon to be five years, men have gathered in my house to cultivate in ourselves the men we want to be and seed the development of other men's groups to do the same. Until seeing Martin's TED video, I didn't think much of how our group is also an expression of our need for menspace.
Our need for space is in our DNA. If we don't create it consciously, we will create unconsciously – that is often not pleasurable for others or ourselves. How do you get space? Whom do you share it with? What are you willing to do to get and keep it? Let us know.

Coupling between positron-atom scattering channels above the first inelastic threshold

Experimentally determined cross sections for the elastic scattering of positrons by argon and xenon atoms have been found to exhibit a steplike increase at the first inelastic threshold energy-i.e., that for positronium formation. Rather than supporting the existence of a cusplike behavior predicted theoretically, this feature, which is more pronounced for xenon, suggests the existence of an intermediate virtual positronium state which enhances the elastic interaction probability.

Romney: "I've Done It Before And I'll Do It Again"
There have been several famous presidential debates throughout American history: Lincoln – Douglas, Kennedy – Nixon, Reagan – Carter, and now Romney – Obama.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney so thoroughly defeated President Obama last night it was reminiscent of a young Mike Tyson knocking out Michael Spinks without ever breaking a sweat. From the opening question Romney scored a standing eight count and continued to mercilessly pound Obama on point after point.
Despite the president having the sizeable advantage of PBS's, Jim Lehrer moderate the event, there was no question that Mitt Romney was the undisputed winner.
Lehrer, who at times seemed to be like a kindergarten teacher trying to help a bashful child with stage fright get through his lines in the school play, often fed President Obama lines and generally tried to help him respond to questions. The clearly biased Lehrer also allowed President Obama to have four-minutes more talk-time than Mitt Romney but in the end, Romney was clearly more erudite than President Obama.
I found it striking that not one person in the audience clapped for President Obama when he was introduced despite Lehrer urging applause immediately before introducing the participants. Conversely, there was robust applause after Mitt Romney was announced.
Throughout the evening President Obama was glued to his talking points. He repeatedly accused Romney of not elaborating on his plans, however, throughout the night Romney did just that. Romney laid out several specific plans to jump start the economy and put America back to work while masterfully articulating the president's failures.
One of the most salient moments of the debate was when Mitt Romney took President Obama to task on his massive deficit spending. Romney pointed out that the president promised to cut the debt in half, from $8 trillion to $4 trillion, in his first four years and instead he doubled the debt to $16 trillion. He further drove home the point by saying that it was immoral to run up a debt of this magnitude just as President Obama did when he was a candidate in 2008.
Mitt also scored big when he said the first thing he would do with any government program is to ask the question; is this so important that we should borrow money from China to pay for this?
Often times President Obama could do nothing but nod in agreement with Romney which was simply astounding to watch.
Romney also destroyed the president when they debated the finer points of healthcare.
To begin, the president was quick to point out that he likes that the healthcare law has been called "Obamacare." From there Romney went on the attack and by the end of the exchange you could have put a giant, red scarlet O on the president's chest because Romney flat out shamed the president over his healthcare plan.
Romney laid out America's dire financial situation then said that President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid thought it was more important to force healthcare legislation that the American people didn't want down are collective throats.
Romney truthfully stated that there will be European style rationing and that Obamacare adds $2500.00 to the cost of the average American's annual healthcare costs.
Governor Romney also reiterated throughout the evening that President Obama is cutting $716 billion from Medicare. He explained that his plan would allow for "free-market" solutions which are always less expensive and would provide more options for the American people.
Romney also scored big with the Republican base as he spoke frequently of states rights and that the Federal Government's principle job is to protect and enforce our founding documents.
Romney drove home the point that there will be European style rationing and that Obamacare adds $2500.00 to the cost of the average American's healthcare coverage.
Romney masterfully juxtaposed the president's track record of complete partisanship and legislative gridlock by highlighting how he successfully reached across the aisle when he was elected Governor of Massachusetts. Despite having a legislature that was comprised of 87-percent Democrats, he was able to foster relationships with his opposition and lead the state back to prosperity.
"I've done it before," Governor Romney said "and I'll do it again."

Part 1 of 2: How Personal Brand Changes Corporate Brand
Rob La Gesse [r] savors adult beverage while Rackspace video team members Scoble [l] & Barbanica apparently enjoy virtual cigars.]
When I heard that Rob La Gesse had recruited the video team of Robert Scoble and Rocky Barbanica away from Fast Company to join Rackspace, I really didn't know what to think. I knew, liked and wanted to see all three of these people succeed, but I had a bad feeling this relationship was going to be like those of couples who get married at midnight in Las Vegas, and wake up the next morning wondering what they had been thinking.
It just seemed to me that there were too many cultural differences. Barbanica and Scoble were all about start ups. They were Silicon Valley denizens. Ubiquitous socializers, they usually were found at or near the center of of the action in the world of startups.
La Gesse, the deal's architect, was also a startup enthusiast, but from there the similarities diminished. More laid back , he had lived in the San
Francisco Bay Area during and after his military service, but then moved back to the San Antonio area where he was raised. I knew him as a startup consultant. He had joined Rackspace a short while earlier, and I had assumed that for him it was shelter from the tough economic storm.
My sense was that La Gesse would prefer the solace of his home office to hanging out with the cool kids of Silicon Valley. His Twitter "KR8TR" handle was a subtle reference to a favorite family moment hiking at Kilauea Crater, on the Big Island of Hawaii with a college-age daughter when she was younger.
Then there was Rackspace itself, a middle-of-the-pack hosting service company, a pack dominated by Amazon.com Web Hosting. In my view seemed, well dull. By contrast Scoble was sometimes controversial and almost always interesting. He was an untrammeled enthusiast for shiny new things, and hosting felt grayer than that.
I just didn't get what Rackspace wanted from these three historic enterprise misfits.
Rackspace was a public company, with revenues topping $500 million when the deal was announced. It had long past that early stage moment of a three guys with a business plan and some glitchy alpha software built in some coffeehouse with free wifi.
How would Rackspace use Scoble and Barbanica? Would the two step away from spotlights ardent entrepreneurs and shift to interviewing arcane back-room technologists who pontificated on thermal reductions in data storage facilities? Would Scoble be forced to interview allegedly happy Rackspace customers who would receive softball questions in advance of the interview, I wondered.
I wondered if my friends were about to come company shills dressed in matching Rackspace tee shirts and baseball caps, decked out with bling and looking a little like Formula 1 race cars, only not quite so sleek.
But, none of that happened. Instead, La Gesse encouraged Scoble and Barbanica to just keep doing what they had been doing since they first teamed up in 2007, interviewing whoever they wanted to do. They were not steered to Rackspace customers, and when they selected one by coincidence, Rackspace was rarely mentioned in the interview.

Google Books hosts millions of ebook from the public domain (out of copyright) that you can download on Kindle (or any other ebook reader) for free.
The only problem is that the ebooks available on the Google Books website are in ePUB format which is not compatible with Kindle. You can however convert ePUB to MOBI or AZW format using a free software like Calibre and then read these Google books on your Kindle. Calibre can also convert Google eBooks to Kindle's AZW3 format which is supported by the new Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire devices.
Convert .EPUB to .MOBI with Calibre
Here's a step by step guide on how you can convert ePUB books to MOBI format using Calibre.
Step 1: Download any ePUB book from Google Books. Look for the label "EBook – Free" next to the book title and then choose "Downlod ePUB" from the book's settings menu as shown in the screenshot.
Step 2: Open the Calibre software on your desktop and press the "A" key on the keyboard to add this ePUB file to your Calibre Library. Alternatively, you may click the "Add Books" icon in the Calibre toolbar and choose the first option that says "Add books from a single directory."
Step 3: Now that the ePUB books is inside Calibre, select the book and press "C" key to open the conversion menu. (Or choose the Convert Books option from the toolbar and then click Convert Individually). Here change the Output format from ePUB to either MOBI or AZW3 (for newer Kindle models) and click the OK button.
The ebook conversion may take some time depending on the size of your source book. Press Alt + Shift + J to see the current conversion status.
Step 4. Once the file conversion is complete, open the default Calibre library (it's usually at c:\users\<username>\Calibre Library) and double-click the .mobi file to open it inside your Kindle reader app on the desktop. Alternative, you can transfer the eBook to Kindle over USB, Wi-Fi or email and enjoy it on the go.
