War of the Cults
This post contains quotes from Ted Patrick's own book, "Let
Our Children Go!" (E. P. Dutton, 1976). In this message, I will
include excerpts from Patrick's accounts of his abductions, which he
calls "snatches." I'd like Pamela Fitzpatrick, in
particular, to note that I'm presenting material written by
an "anti-cult activist," NOT by a "cult apologist."
I welcome her to find a drop of compassion or sensitivity to these
"cult victims" in anything Patrick has written.
page 73
"The back door opened. It was now or never. I flung back the
blanket and found myself staring into Pam Collins' very amazed face.
"There was a frozen instant. Then she gasped, 'Kidnap!' and
started to back away. But her mother was behind her and pushed her
hard, and I got my arms around her shoulders and sucked her in on
top of us like a vacuum cleaner--whoosh!--and she vanished inside.
Immediately her boyfriend piled in on top of her, or tried to, and I
remember thinking even in the middle of all the action what a pity
it was that his father had not been interested in rescuing him
because I could have had him too. As it was, I had to get rid of
him, so I kicked him in the stomach and he went reeling back and
Mrs. Collins tripped him and sent him sprawling.
"In the meantime, Danny was mixing it up with three of the
other large dudes, clipping one in the jaw with his feet, and Macing
two of the others. Fortunately the three girls did not get
themselves together in time to do anything. They just stood back and
"Collins fought his way around to the driver's seat, and
shouted to Danny to get in. Mrs. Collins had already made it back

inside. Holmes and I were wrestling with Pam who was screaming her
head off. I was sitting up by this time and saw people running from
the house, and one of the dogs sprinting towards us. Danny decked
Pam's boyfriend with his fist, and dove in just as the first of the
German shepherds arrived and lunged at the door, banging against it
as Danny swung it shut, and we went rolling off down the hill,
leaving a scene of great confusion and disruption behind."
[p. 96]
"But Wes was wary, and he balked at getting in the car.
'No,' he said, 'we can talk right here.'
"Suddenly Lockwood grabbed the boy without warning and
hurled him headfirst into the front seat. It was perfect. 'Come on,'
I yelled to Alan and we went charging out.
"Wes was grappling with his father, and beginning to yell.
Alan went running around to the passenger's side and opened the
door. I was right behind him. Then what I was worried about
happened. Alan, who was shocked to see the awful change in his
nephew's appearance, momentarily froze. He just stood there with the
door open and Wes came bolting out into the street next to the car,
shrieking and waving his arms, yelling at the top of his voice,
'Help! Help! They're kidnapping me. Call the police! Help me!'
"Alan quickly recovered his wits and began wrestling with
Wes, but Wes was now impossible to handle. Lockwood started the car.
Traffic was piling up, coming to a halt, people gawking. A crowd was
collecting on the sidewalk. A woman was screeching.
"Wes had taken up a position facing the car, with his hands
on the roof and his legs spread-eagled. There was no way to het him
inside while he was braced like that. I had to make a quick
decision. I reached down between Wes's legs, grabbed him by the
crotch and squeezed--hard. He let out a howl, and doubled up,
brabbing for his groin with both hands. Then I hit, shoving him
headfirst into the back seat of the car and piling in on top of
More to come . . . .

West U Police Investigate Several Cases of ID Theft
A West U police officer was involved in a high-speed chase in the early morning of August 23, after the officer observed a vehicle traveling over the posted speed limit in the 5600 block of Buffalo Speedway. The driver initially eluded police throughout several major Houston freeways. The pursuit ended in the 3500 block of the Eastex Freeway, where the driver was taken into custody for evading arrest.
West U police responded to a disturbance call in the 6700 block of Vanderbilt on August 22 at about 9 a.m. A subject was transported to a hospital for evaluation.
On August 24, West U police arrested a man for criminal trespass at the Whole Foods store at 4000 Bellaire Blvd. The man had earlier been warned not to come into the store. He was arrested and transported to the West U jail.
A West U officer was dispatched on August 24 to a business in the 2700 block of Bissonnet regarding a case of criminal mischief. A man told police that he had parked his car in the parking lot at about 12:30 p.m. and when he returned to the vehicle at 2:30 p.m., he found that a bb gun had shot out his passenger side windows. The officer checked the business' surveillance cameras, which showed a possible suspect's vehicle, but the officer checked the area and did not locate any suspects.
Also on August 24, a West U resident went to the police department to report a theft. The complainant stated that she had left her flat tire and wheel leaned up against a building in the 4100 block of Bellaire, to be picked up at a later time. She said an unknown person removed the tire and the wheel before she could get it picked up.
Two West U residents went to the West U Police Department on August 26 to report cases of identity theft. One victim, a woman, told police that she had received an email from her accountant stating that her Social Security number had been used to file a fictitious income tax return.
In the second case, a man told police that someone had used his Social Security number to file a fictitious tax return.
On Tuesday, August 26, a West U officer responded to the 3600 block of Georgetown about a case of criminal mischief. The officer determined that an unknown person had slashed the driver side tire of the complainant's vehicle. The incident apparently occurred between 7 p.m. on August 25 and 6:30 a.m. on August 26.
Another case of identity theft was reported to West U police on August 27. The complainant told police that an unknown person had used their personal identifying information to open multiple credit card accounts.
West U police arrested a driver in the 6800 block of Buffalo Speedway on August 27 for possession of marijuana. An officer stopped the driver for a traffic violation at about 10 p.m. The driver consented to a search of the vehicle.
At 6 p.m. on August 28, a subject walked into the West University Police Department to turn himself in on two active warrants. The subject was identified and two active warrants were found. The subject was booked into the West U jail.

Whispers quietly while looking furtively over shoulder "I have been sleeping better lately". The number of bad nights has reduced to maybe one a week and the other nights I get about 6 hours maybe a bit more, so a big improvement. And I feel better for it and to prove my point I managed 3.5k words of wip 2 last week!!
Today the sun is shining which is great as this boosts my morale almost as much as a good nights sleep. So onwards and upwards. Although there is a small cloud on the horizon. I am going to England on Thursday for nearly 2 weeks which may upset my sleep pattern and my writing opportunities. However it is to help out our daughter who has just undergone surgery, so I will make the best of it. I do intend to take my running gear as I can't go 2 weeks without running, just have to take less ordinary clothes!!
Anyway I shall be back with another update on sleep and writing in a few weeks time.
A year in my life as a wannabe novelist, the good bits the bad bits and well any other bits!!!!!

Glad to hear you're sleeping better and feeling well. It's so disruptive to the rest of your day when you don't sleep well. I need to sort out my sleep patterns!

Photographer :
Nicolas POSTAL has always been attracted by exploring the World. As soon as it has been possible he started to travel back packing on his own, and experiment himself as an amateur-photographer through his various human and cultural experiences.
Making his own way, in 2006 he finally published a few articles in local newspapers of Niger and Burkina Faso about malnutrition in Africa, worked with an American correspondent of the AFP agency (Agence France Presse) and realized the communication review for ACF (Action Against Hunger) on malnutrition and food crisis in Niger.
In may 2007, he went as a freelance photographer in Kenya for 3 weeks where he realized reports on AIDS and TB when visiting a MSF centre (Médecins Sans Frontières). He also went for NRC (Norwegian Refugee Council) to Dadaab's Refugee Camps. But the main part of his work during this trip was to establish a portrait of the Kenyan' Slums.
October 2007 : still as a freelance photographer, Nicolas went 3 weeks to cover the DR Congo war for the EPA (European PressPhoto Agency). His work has been widely published in the international press and has been exhibited in september 2008 at the Visa OFF (International Festival of Photojournalism of Perpignan, FRANCE).
Between 2008 and 2013 : Nicolas has been working on others personals projects but he never forgot photography !

WASHINGTON – Tens of thousands of Medicare recipients have been victims of deceptive sales tactics and had claims improperly denied by private insurers that run the system's huge new drug benefit program and offer other private insurance options encouraged by the Bush administration, a review of federal audits has found.
The problems, described in 91 audit reports reviewed by the New York Times, include improper termination of coverage for people with HIV and AIDS; huge backlogs of claims and complaints; and a failure to answer telephone calls from consumers, doctors and drugstores.
Medicare officials have required insurance companies of all sizes to fix the violations. Since March, Medicare has imposed fines of more than $770,000 on 11 companies for marketing violations and failure to provide timely notice to beneficiaries about changes in costs and benefits.
The companies include three of the largest participants in the Medicare market: UnitedHealth, Humana and WellPoint.
Of the audits conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services, 39 focused on drug benefits, 44 focused on managed care plans and 8 examined other types of private plans.
The audits document widespread violations of patients' rights and consumer protection standards. Some violations could directly affect the health of patients – for example, by delaying access to urgently needed medications.
The audits show the growing pains that Medicare has experienced as it introduced the popular new drug benefit and shifted more responsibility to private health plans.
For years, Democrats have complained about efforts to "privatize Medicare," and they are likely to cite the findings as evidence that private insurers cannot be trusted to care for the sickest, most vulnerable Medicare recipients.
But federal officials point with pride to their efforts to police the Medicare market, and they say competition among private plans has been a boon to beneficiaries, offering more choices at lower cost than anyone expected.
"The Medicare drug benefit is saving seniors an average of $1,200 a year," said Michael Leavitt, the secretary of health and human services.
Medicare officials said the audits also showed that insurers would be held accountable. "The start-up period is over," said Kerry Weems, the new acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. "I am simply not going to tolerate marketing abuses."

There are a few straggling green tomatoes, hoping for just one more warm day in which to turn red. These tomatoes, by the way, are quite good. They will not have the glorious sun-drenched flavor of a summer tomato, but they will taste better than any store-bought variety. They make a great addition to a homemade soup or tomato sauce.
Parsley should still be going strong, along with other varieties of chives and leeks.
The last potatoes can be dug or left in the ground for reseeding next spring. I have a designated potato patch, and over the years have been consistently surprised by the varieties that now exist in this bed. Even when you think you have dug them all up, at planting time next spring you will find that last year's missed-the-trowel potatoes have seeded themselves. In the fall you'll have twice as many potatoes to harvest as you planted.
The cucumber, pumpkin and squash crops were excellent this year. They love heat, do not mind humidity, and are ready to pick right now. Squashes should be some of the last vegetables hanging on in your garden. Pick them and bring them in. Pull all the vines and roots.
Gardening Tips:
. It is time to toss out the old soil in pots along with the dried tomato plants and weeds. Turn your pots upside down for the coming winter. If soil is left behind, moisture from rain or snow will make the pots crack – even if they are plastic. Should you have fancy terra-cotta pots, empty them and place them upside down in your basement, garage, or shed to protect them from the winter elements.
. Vegetable beds should be weeded, stakes and tomato cages pulled, and the soil covered with landscape fabric. This is a gardener's best friend. It is black and tightly woven, but still allows water to drain through. It is perfect for keeping weeds out of beds in the fall and will prevent grass from growing on paths. The dense cloth will not allow sunlight or spring's windblown seeds to light in your garden and grow like weeds. Remove the fabric when you are ready to plant in the spring.
. Use piles of leaves for mulch or add them to your compost pile. Dead leaves make rich compost.
. This past summer in our part of Rhode Island goes on record as having little rain, and late frosts made it a bad spring for pollination. We also had unforgiving humidity, which created a ton of mold on plants. Mold is never good. If you see it on top of your soil, scrape it off and discard it. Destroy any moldy leaves remaining on vegetable plants.
. Do not add fertilizer to your vegetable beds until February. There are still a few rogue warm days that will pop up between November and December that might give the fertilizer the wrong idea. New growth can sap the strength of plants that winter over.
. For those thinking about sustainable gardening, do not pull your leeks. Leave them in the ground over the winter so they will be twice the size by next summer.
. Plant spinach seeds now, as well as garlic. They will be among your first surprises in the spring. If you have cold frames and the coming months are mild, you can plant lettuce throughout the winter.
. It's not too late to plan your beds and plant your flowering bulbs, such as tulips, daffodils, fritillaria, crocus, and hyacinths. Spring is always brighter when they appear.

Just as is the case in other parts of the world, the demand for mobile applications in Australia seems to be growing in tandem with the demand for smart devices such as smartphone and phablets, among others. More specifically, according to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), 72% of smartphone owners in Australia download at least one mobile application every six months. Most Australians download and use mobile apps to stream video content, access social networking sites, access banking services, play games, as well as access e-commerce sites. If you have an idea that you would like to turn into a mobile application, it would be wise to consider the legal aspects associated with such a decision, including the following:
Business Structure
Before turning your idea into a mobile app, you need to decide what kind of business structure suits your needs. In Australia, you can register a business name or a company. To register a business name, you must choose an entity that will hold the business name. Acceptable entities include a joint venture, an individual, incorporated entity (such as a company), a partnership, or an unincorporated entity (such as a trust). However, a business name does not necessarily create a legal entity. This means that an entrepreneur who opts to register a business name does not enjoy privileges such as limited liability or corporate tax rates. On the other hand, if you register a company, you will benefit from limited liability, corporate tax rates, and you can conduct business throughout Australia without having to register your company in each territory or state. This is particularly important if your mobile app idea involves selling products to consumers.
Of course, you will also have to decide how you would like to operate and run your mobile app business. This means defining aspects such as share structure, officeholders, members, replaceable rules, and constitution. This might seem like too much hassle but it makes financial sense. For example, your mobile app might go viral attracting the interest of investors or other companies interested in a takeover. If you do not have a business structure in place, investors will most likely shy away from investing their money. Furthermore, a business structure such as a limited company protects you from creditors and lawsuits should your mobile app business fold. This is according to the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC).
It is worth noting that copyright would just protect your original expression of mobile app idea but not the idea itself. This means that you can copyright art, literature, film, computer programs, music, or drawings. In Australia, copyright protection spans the life of the creator plus an additional 70 years after the demise of a copyright owner. The Australian Copyright Council recommends that one should put a copyright notice on his or her work. This protects your unique work such as a website, mobile application, graphics, or any other form of creative output.
According to the Australian Copyright Council, a copyright owner has the right to publish his or her work for the first time, reproduce the same in various ways including photocopying, scanning, or filming, as well as distribute published work to the general public via the Internet or through print media. Nevertheless, there is a 10% rule that allows other people to use copyrighted work for the purposes of reporting news or research. However, this does mean that other people can copyright your work for commercial purposes. Australian copyright law prohibits using copyrighted work to make money. Therefore, to protect your app, you should seek legal advice from a lawyer with a good grasp of copyright law before you use someone else's work as part of your mobile application. In fact, the Australian Copyright Council states that altering a copyrighted image to create a new one could be a breach of copyright law. As you seek to copyright your work, make sure you do not use the creative output of other people in your mobile app.
Unlike copyright, a trademark protects a word, sound, picture, logo, shape, letter, number, phrase, or a combination of all these aspects. The aim is to distinguish your product or mobile app from other apps. Without trademark protection, other businesses can use your unique brand, name, or logo to sell goods or services to unsuspecting consumers.
Think of a trademark as an important part of your mobile app marketing strategy. The more successful your mobile application, the more valuable the trademark becomes. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to register a trademark to use it. You can use an unregistered symbol or logo to represent your mobile app. The problem with this approach is other people can copy the same logo, word, or number. In such a case, it is almost impossible to stop them from copying your unique name or picture. In Australia, trademarks generally have a lifetime of 10 years after which you will have to pay renewal fees in order to continue using the trademark for another 10 years. This process can go on indefinitely so long as you remember to pay the renewal fees every 10 years.
Before you rush to register a trademark, remember that IP Australia does not just register any name or logo. Instead, it only registers unique items that other entrepreneurs or people do not use regularly. For example, you cannot trademark a common surname or geographic name, so it is advisable to invent your own unique name such as Kodak or Lego. If your mobile application will be available to consumers in other countries, you can access trademark protection through the Madrid Protocol. This international treaty allows Australian entrepreneurs to acquire trademark protection by making a single application. You can file this trademark application in Australia through IP Australia. In addition, you can choose to apply for trademark protection across all or some of the countries that have signed the Madrid Protocol.
A common mistake entrepreneurs make is to register a business name and fail to trademark the same. The fact that you have registered a business name or company name does not give you proprietary rights over it. You will have to go an extra mile and trademark the name if you do not want to face costly legal tussles and claims.
Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)
If you will be pitching your idea to a developer, you need to have a non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality agreement ready. This legally binding contract compels a developer not to disclose your mobile app idea or use it to create his or her own mobile app. For example, if you have come up with a data compression algorithm that no one else is using, you do not want to give away your secret before a developer signs an NDA.
A typical NDA contains the following information:
Although having a nondisclosure agreement at hand is a good idea, it does not translate to 100% protection. It only offers some level of protection and it is up to you to choose a reputable company that has been in business for several years. A well-established business is unlikely to steal your ideas because they have a reputation to protect.
It is also wise to hire an attorney to prepare an NDA for you. Downloading an NDA from the internet is not a good idea because every business or mobile app idea is unique. You do not want to end up with an NDA that does not protect your idea properly. Non-disclosure agreements are quite common in the app development industry and your developer should be willing to sign an NDA. If he or she is not willing to sign an NDA because of one issue or another, take your business elsewhere.
Consumer Facing Agreements
Also known as End User License Agreements (EULAs), this is a legal tool that you can use to prevent consumers who use your mobile application from stealing your idea and then using it to develop their own apps. In general, such an agreement would compel every user of your mobile app to agree to certain terms and conditions. There is no standard template for an end user license agreement and it is up to you and your lawyer to come up with one that suits your mobile application.
Nevertheless, your mobile app EULA should contain warranty obligations, copyright information, trademark information, prohibitions (such as warning users not to reverse engineer your app), as well as patent information. If you are planning to launch your mobile app on the iOS platform, you can use Apple's ready-made EULA. Alternatively, you can create your own EULA but include Apple's "mandatory terms".
The Android platform also comes with its own Android Market Developer Distribution Agreement. The default terms for this license are "non-exclusive, worldwide, and perpetual". If you believe that such a license gives consumers too much leeway, you can come up with your own custom end user license agreement. You can also distribute your mobile application via platforms managed by companies such as Blackberry or Microsoft. Once again, make sure you go through their default EULAs and decide if you want to use them or custom-made ones. If you are serious about protecting your mobile app idea, get a good lawyer to guide you through this process.
App Development Agreement
An app development agreement is quite different from a non-disclosure agreement. This type of agreement defines the design and development aspects of your mobile app. This is important because developers tend to reuse the same algorithms or code to develop different mobile apps. For example, it typically takes a lot of time and effort to write code for a new game engine, so some developers opt to use open source game engines.
However, you might feel that you do not want open source software in your mobile app. In such a case, your developer is likely to ask you to pay more for the effort involved in creating algorithms or game engines from scratch.
Another aspect that an app development agreement will touch on is the choice of programming language. In most cases, this depends on the platform you are targeting. For a mobile app that will end up on the iOS platform, developers will most likely use the Objective C programming language. If your app idea is a game, your developer might use the Lua programming language for game logic.
Finally, the app development agreement will define who owns the source code for your mobile app. Even if you own the original idea for the app, this does not mean that you own the source code as well. You might be surprised to learn that the source code belongs to the developer until he or she "assigns" ownership to you. If you do not own the source code, the developer can prevent you from using or profiting from your own mobile application in the future. To ensure this does not happen, you need to have the developer agree to assign ownership of the source code to you.
Make sure the agreement states clearly that the developer has "assigned" ownership of the source code to you. This is because there is a big difference between having "the right to use a product" and actually owning it. If a developer states that "you have the right to use a product", this means that you cannot stop the developer from reproducing or distributing the same app wherever he or she wishes. On the other hand, the phrase "developer hereby assigns ownership of mobile application to client" means that only you can distribute, modify, or create derivatives of your mobile app. This agreement will also define whether your developer can retain ownership of some code from your mobile application.
If you have a mobile app idea that you would like to discuss with an app developer with the aim of turning it into reality, it is advisable to seek advice from an attorney first. Such an attorney would advise you on how to protect your idea using various legal tools such as NDAs, trademarks, copyright, EULAs, and app development agreements.

Muse Going Back to Basics on New Album
Muse frontman Matt Bellamy says the band's new album goes back to 'just the basics of who we are'
Muse are back at work on their follow-up to "The 2nd Law," and frontman Matt Bellamy says the new songs are shaping up to sound, well, like classic Muse.
"I have this strong feeling that the next album should be something that really does strip away the additional things that we've experimented with on the last two albums, which is electronics, symphonics and orchestral work and all that kind of stuff," he told Rolling Stone. "I kind of feel like it will be nice to reconnect and remind ourselves of just the basics of who we are."
Next year marks the 20th anniversary of Muse. Bellamy says the group plans to celebrate, both by hitting the studio to record a new album and touring.
"I can see us doing a combination of things, probably theaters for fun and to reconnect with what it's like to be in a small, sweaty venue and then do huge festivals to cover the fans that can't get into the theaters," he said. "Then…we might do a short run of really high-concept shows. We touched on that on ('The 2nd Law') tour, but I think we can go a lot further."

PUF60 encodes a nucleic acid-binding protein, a component of multimeric complexes regulating RNA splicing and transcription. In 2013, patients with microdeletions of chromosome 8q24.3 including PUF60 were found to have developmental delay, microcephaly, craniofacial, renal and cardiac defects. Very similar phenotypes have been described in six patients with variants in PUF60, suggesting that it underlies the syndrome. We report 12 additional patients with PUF60 variants who were ascertained using exome sequencing: six through the Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study and six through similar projects. Detailed phenotypic analysis of all patients was undertaken. All 12 patients had de novo heterozygous PUF60 variants on exome analysis, each confirmed by Sanger sequencing: four frameshift variants resulting in premature stop codons, three missense variants that clustered within the RNA recognition motif of PUF60 and five essential splice-site (ESS) variant. Analysis of cDNA from a fibroblast cell line derived from one of the patients with an ESS variants revealed aberrant splicing. The consistent feature was developmental delay and most patients had short stature. The phenotypic variability was striking; however, we observed similarities including spinal segmentation anomalies, congenital heart disease, ocular colobomata, hand anomalies and (in two patients) unilateral renal agenesis/horseshoe kidney. Characteristic facial features included micrognathia, a thin upper lip and long philtrum, narrow almond-shaped palpebral fissures, synophrys, flared eyebrows and facial hypertrichosis. Heterozygote loss-of-function variants in PUF60 cause a phenotype comprising growth/developmental delay and craniofacial, cardiac, renal, ocular and spinal anomalies, adding to disorders of human development resulting from aberrant RNA processing/spliceosomal function.

A couple of recent pieces in Science will be of interest to those of you concerned about the demographics of the NIH-funded independent scientist pool [h/t: writedit]. The first one details the prior NIH head Elias Zerhouni's attempt to make his administration's support for New Investigators permanent NIH policy. The second News Focus details interviews conducted with NIH funded investigators over the age of 70.
Much of this is familiar territory but I was struck by the use of the term "affirmative action" to describe the NIH's attempt to keep funding for new awardees viable.
First up, what did Zerhouni attempt to correct?
In 2003, when NIH's budget stopped growing, the situation "collapsed," Zerhouni says: The number of R01-like research grants (known as R01 equivalents) going to first-time investigators slipped to 1354 in 2006, the lowest level in 9 years.
In 2007, he set a target of funding 1500 new-investigator R01s, based on the previous 5 years' average. Some institutes struggled to reach their targets, NIH officials say. At the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, for example, the shift to new grants meant that only 9% to 10% of established investigators with strong peer-review scores received funding, whereas 25% of comparable new investigators did, says NINDS Director Story Landis. She maintains, however, that "it's not as though a huge number of investigators lost out."
[program directors] came on board when NIH noticed a change in behavior by peer reviewers. Told about the quotas, study sections began "punishing the young investigators with bad scores," says Zerhouni. That is, a previous slight gap in review scores for new grant applications from first-time and seasoned investigators widened in 2007 and 2008, Berg says. It revealed a bias against new investigators, Zerhouni says.
Credit: NIH
Okay, I applaud them all for noticing and getting on board and all that but someone's missing the point. New Investigator awards were going down 2004, 2005 and 2006 before the heavy hand of NIH programmatic pickups descended. It is the "slight-gap" that revealed the bias against new investigators! The widening gap after the news about New Investigator policies began getting around just puts a fine point on the main issue. Study section behavior is what needs to be directly addressed and the application of BandAid solutions at the Program level is making things worse!
How so? The use of the term "affirmative action" tells us all we need to know. This brings in the GoodOldWhite(haired)Boyz dogwhistle to assert that New Investigators are rightfully receiving poorer scores and need an artificial leg up. That, my friends, is what most people holding the reins of power in academic science hear when the term affirmative action is brought up. What people are not hearing in any meaningful way is the term bias. Which implies, correctly in my view, that irrelevant considerations of career status, prior R01-funding, etc are being applied to diminish highly meritorious proposals in favor of equally- or less-meritorious proposals from those on the inside.
From the News Focus:
Biochemist Carl Frieden, 79, of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, also says he will let peer reviewers tell him when it's time to close his lab. He says that although he's sympathetic to the struggles of young scientists, funding should be based strictly on scientific merit, not age. "We're the only profession judged by our peers every 3 to 5 years. If older scientists can pass that trial, I'm comfortable with that," he says.
Right. Because the ImmaculatePeerReview is a perfect judge of scientific merit...sigh. Oh, well, some of those interviewed understand:
For molecular geneticist Robert Wells of Texas A&M University in College Station, who is just 70 but gave up his NIH grant and has been closing his lab for the past 2 years, the difficulties young investigators face were foremost in his thoughts. "If I and other old birds continue to land the grants, the [young scientists] are not going to get them," he says. He worries that the budget won't be able to support the 100 people "I've trained ... to replace me."
Back to the first piece on Zerhouni's parting gift I note something interesting that has been trickling in the back of my mind ever since I started paying attention on study section.
NIH will also fine-tune its policy to tilt it in favor of early-career scientists. The goal is to adjust for the recently discovered fact that only about 55% of investigators who receive their first NIH grants are at an early stage of their career. The rest are scientists who had been funded by other agencies or came from NIH's intramural program or from Europe after being forced to retire there. "It was embarrassing" to realize, for example, that the new investigators included two department chairs with Veterans Administration funding, Landis says.
There is an awful lot of text in this post, so I am going to break it up with something totally hot.
The Redline Conquest Team, reviewed here. $899.99 frameset and $1,159 Ultegra build kit from Excel Sports.
Funny, I noticed this trend after about two rounds of study section. Namely that the New Investigator pool included many quite-senior investigators who had enjoyed quite substantial support from nonNIH sources in their careers. Surprise, surprise, proposals from these "New Investigators" did better than did those of recently transitioned New Investigators. I still find it mind-boggling what properties of the NIH grant review / award system seem obvious to applicants and study section reviewers and yet is a "surprise" to the people who actually hold the raw data that would allow them to perform definitive analyses.
This is why I continue to exhort you all, from grad student to seasoned investigators, to take every opportunity that arises to talk NIH grants shop with any NIH representative you come across.
At this little meeting there was a nice dinner session on obtaining NIH grants. The session was hosted by two well funded extramural researchers (albeit in clinical areas) and one program officer. They all gave excellent talks although this particular dinner was not very well attended (my fellow junior investigators, WTF are you thinking skipping out on these things?).
Word up, jp!!
Final shot from the Zerhouni piece:
some scientists may be uneasy about the cost, says Howard Garrison, spokesperson for the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in Bethesda, Maryland: "Every time you give a leg up to a young investigator, you're pushing someone off the edge of the cliff."
A total and scurrilous lie. The older investigators are disproportionately (compared to the genuine New Investigators) likely to hold multiple grants and to have hard money jobs. The idea that each award to a New Investigator pushes an established investigator "off the cliff" is laughable. Please challenge this silly notion if you happen to run across it DearReader. Let us turn this statement around, shall we?
"Each time you give yet another award to an established investigator who has full salary support and/or other research support, you are kicking a transitioning investigator back off the edge of the towering cliff she has just surmounted."
I like my version better.

I have been ordering pizza from Jerry for more then twenty years now. Needless to say the man makes a mean pie! I figured after all these years of Jerry making for me, it was high time I made for him. This takeout menu stand is made of walnut, cherry and maple veneer plywood. The letters are cut out with my scroll saw, NO CNC in my shop! The main body is one solid piece of walnut that I hogged out with my small milling machine. It is finished with a few coats of wipe on poly. His pizza shop is in a heritage building so he honours this by keeping the original branding "Union House" as you can see in his logo. It was definitely tricky to cut out those small letters but well worth it for the end product. I spent some time messing around in Photoshop in an attempt to make the pictures stand out a bit more. I'm curious what you think, should I stick to plain white backgrounds or do you like what I did?
Thanks for your interest.

As a scrollsawer; I DO KNOW how much work that was. It is very difficult to cut letters that are small
Cutting small things works best if they can be inside cut first while still part of a larger pieces, then cut from the larger pieces after interior cuts are all made.
I prefer plain backgrounds for my serious photography; however very seldom use them on my woodwork.

text: Thief II really surprised me. At first I didn't really give these sneaking games even a second thought but once when I was at a LAN party at my friend's house one of the guys started playing the first Thief game and was super excited. Slowly I started to realize the appeal of this type of games and when I got my hands on Thief II, I was hooked. The atmosphere is super dense with all the non-player characters just trying to mind their own business and talking about the world events while you empty their pockets and houses. You have a sword. Not that it does much good. If the guards catch you it's a battle you can't win. Running and hiding are your best weapons in this game and getting past everyone unnoticed the goal. Once you realize the role you're in the game just draws you in with a world that feels alive and paranoid. No reason not to. You're out to get them.

What is personal pricing?
Personal pricing means would-be borrowers will no longer be able to see the typical rate being offered by the bank – they'll have to apply to find out what kind of deal they'll be given.
Those with good credit histories will be offered the most competitive rates. But if the bank thinks there's a risk you could default on your repayments, you'll be charged a higher rate of interest.
This isn't unusual. Lenders always run a credit check when assessing a loan, credit card or mortgage application. However, most advertise a 'typical' rate – this must be offered to at least 66% of successful applicants, which at least gives you some idea of how much the loan will cost you before you apply.
However, by moving to personal pricing, Lloyds TSB will stop advertising a typical rate. Borrowers (who must also be existing customers) will have to apply in order to see what kind of deal they'll be offered. And every time a credit check is made on you, a mark is left on your credit file.
Recently, a Treasury Select Committee criticised the way the market works – even among lenders that advertise a typical rate.
Multiple credit applications can have a negative impact on your credit score, making it harder for you to shop around for the best deal. You can read more about that and the committee's concerns in our article 'Pressure mounts for fairer credit applications'.
Without even a typical rate to guide borrowers, Lloyds TSB's latest move may make it even harder for customers to find the best deal.
Bad news for consumers
Tim Moss, moneysupermarket.com's head of loans, is worried about the effects this could have on the market.
"This is going to mean many borrowers end up blindly applying for a loan. Lots of people prefer to apply for a loan through their current account provider because they trust whoever they bank with to give them the best deal.
"Lloyds TSB may well be offering some customers the best loans rate but they won't be able to check that before they apply. I can't help but think this is a real step back for consumers and the loans industry."
Silver lining
It's not all bad news for those looking for a loan. Nationwide has just unveiled its new market-leading personal loan with a typical annual percentage rate (APR) of just 7.6%.
However, there is a catch. In order to qualify for Nationwide's market-leading deal you have to have a current account with the building society.
As mentioned above, Lloyds TSB's loans are also only available to current account customers and we're seeing an increasing number of providers adopt this approach. The reason for it is that they have an existing relationship with these people so can make a better-informed lending decision as the bank or building society already knows how they manage their accounts.
So what are the other options?
There are still some competitive deals out there that don't require you to have an existing relationship with the lender.
For example, if you have a really excellent credit score then Alliance & Leicester is offering a typical APR of 7.8% on loans between £7,500 and £14,950. Sainsbury's are offering a rate of 7.9% on loans above £7,500, but you must have a Nectar card to be eligible. However, they're free and can be applied for online.
Tesco is also offering a competitive rate on loans between £7,500 and £15,000 of 8.4%. Again though, you'll need an excellent credit score to qualify.
Check out our loans channel for more leading deals.
Could a credit card be better?
Of course, depending on the amount you would like to borrow, a credit card might be the better bet. There's greater flexibility when it comes to repayment and there are even some introductory interest-free deals.
However, as part of the fall-out of the credit crunch, many providers have reduced the amount they're prepared to lend on credit cards. If you have a good credit history anything up to £3,000 should be ok. But if you are looking to borrow more than that, don't bank on a credit card as you may not be offered a high enough credit limit.
What are the best deals?
If you are looking to consolidate existing debts, then go for a balance transfer offer. Virgin has the longest 0% period at 16 months, although you'll be charged a balance transfer fee of 2.98%. Alternatively, NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland offer credit cards with 15-month interest-free balance transfer deals, although they're only available to existing current account customers. The transfer fees on these cards are 2.9%.
For more leading balance transfer cards, read our article 'Top tips to clear Christmas debts' or visit our credit card channel.
If the reason you're looking to borrow is to fund a purchase, then Tesco's Clubcard Credit Card has a 12-month interest-free period on all spending, while Sainsbury's Credit Card doesn't levy interest on purchases or balance transfers for the first 10 months and Halifax's All-in-One card has a nine-month 0% offer.
With 0% deals, it's important to pay your debt off during the interest-free period as the interest rate shoots up once it ends. If you won't be able to do that and are looking to borrow over a longer period, consider a low-rate card. MBNA has just launched a new product which charges 5.9% for life – it only applies to balance transfers though, not purchases.
Credit where credit's due
If you want to apply for a loan or credit card, it's sensible to get hold of your credit file and see how you score. This allows you to correct any false information and also to assess how likely you are to qualify for deals.
A new moneysupermarket.com service allows you to compare credit report agencies to find the best place to see your report.
If your report isn't up to scratch, read our article 'Could you improve your credit score?' for some tips.

text: I have made myself a new painting, it represents and holds the essence of my heart. I used pink colors to represent the pink ray of Divine Love. The two hearts represent the chalice and the blade; the divine feminine and divine masculine existing as one in perfect balance within me, also called the sacred marriage. I made an infinity symbol to represent my inner sparks infinite BEingness. And I painted wings at the top to bring in the essence of my Angelic/Unicorn Self.

Our kitchen has been a poor design point in our home since day one. It is the only room that we haven't painted and the upper kitchen cabinets, although necessary, are strange. Call me crazy, but I'm just not too into the floating corner cabinets.
The game plan is to ultimately renovate the kitchen and hopefully knock down the wall between the dining room to set up a bar seating area, but seeing as we have a baby on the way, now is not the time for a kitchen reno. We do, however, desperately need some extra storage before our baby boy arrives. Here's what we did to help (on a budget):
1. We bought a small cubby bookshelf from Target for $80 to stash under one side of the upper cabinets. (Originally this area house an unneeded wine rack and the dogs' food bowls. We just moved the dog bowls to another part of the house and we'll probably sell off the wine rack.)
-It adds the extra storage, gives us a spot to place the mail and is a nicer looking set up than what we had before.
2. We added shelves (FREE!) to the right side of the cabinets to help balance out the floating corner shelves and again, add a little storage. (This portion of the wall was blank minus a clock.)
-It brings the dark wood finish from the bookcase to another part of the room and fills in the void. It also left the perfect amount of space for my fun project!
Now, for the fun project...
I decided that it would be nice to have a chalk board in the kitchen to put encouraging notes or bible verses, to list the things we are thankful for or just to write our grocery list on. I found inspiration on pinterest and decided on this creation:
I just purchased an inexpensive chalk board and painted the frame with leftover paint we had at the house. Then I glued another frame (without the glass or backing) on to the chalk board to create a layered look. I love the way it turned out and the double frame creates the perfect ledge to place the chalk and eraser.
I dig the update. It's a good temporary solution for us. (Although, I'm leaning towards getting the room painted sooner rather than later.)
Until next time...

Destroyer - notorious lighting and other works
For me, this EP is easily the best thing he ever released.
Anyone know something about Frog Eyes ?
Are they worth checking ?
Frog Eyes.
Carey Mercer is wonderful, but I guess he falls into the "acquired taste" category. I heard a couple of tracks and wondered what the hell was going on, then when I heard "One in six children will flee in boats", I was blow away. His vocal technique is crazy, he gasps and fights for every breath, magical!
Personally I'd suggest you check out "The Golden River" or "The Folded Palm".
Dan Bejar / Carey Mercer / Spencer Krug have a project starting called "Swan Lake", which should be the most amazing thing ever.
please !
If you mean...
to songs.... then:
Hype Machine is always good for random MP3s.
Check out "One in six children will flee in boats" and "The Oscillator's Hum".
at first listen
"the oscillator's hum" is really good.
Might try to find the albums...
the oscillators hum-
one of my favourite tracks of last year
All the Frog Eyes albums
are AMAZING.
The Golden River is the best but the others are fantastic too.
Frog eyes
are one of my favourite bands ever. Carey Mercer is an incredible singer. They just reissued the first two albums on absolutely kosher, each with an album's worth of extra tracks. Definitely worth getting.
And if you get really crazy about them like me you could even consider getting "Ego Scriptor" which contains only acoustic versions of the songs on the other three albums. I absolutely love it...

Optimized methods are described for the analysis of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, alanine, glycerol, D-3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate in perchloric acid extracts of human blood using the Cobas Bio centrifugal analyser. Glucose and lactate are measured using the photometric mode and other metabolites using the fluorimetric mode. The intra-assay coefficients of variation ranged from 0.7 to 4.1%, except with very low levels of pyruvate and acetoacetate where the coefficients of variation were 7.1 and 12% respectively. All seven metabolites can be measured in a perchloric acid extract of 20 μl of blood. The methods have been optimized with regard to variation in the perchloric acid content of the samples. These variations arise from the method of sample preparation used to minimize changes occurring in metabolite concentration after venepuncture.

PIEDMONT, MO (KFVS) - A man considered armed and dangerous by the Missouri Highway Patrol was taken into custody late Thursday night.
According to Missouri Highway Patrol Trooper Clark Parrott, Billy J. Hancock was arrested at a home near Highway 34 around 10 p.m. Thursday. Hancock was taken into custody after about 20 to 25 troopers, sheriff's deputies and other agents surrounded the home.
Hancock went willingly and did not resist arrest, Parrott said.
The homeowners are being questioned. Parrott previously said anyone found to be hiding Hancock or allowing him to escape would be prosecuted.
Hancock ran from troopers after a traffic stop in Wayne County on Tuesday, Parrott said. Hancock, 50, is reportedly well known to law enforcement and was the focus of a manhunt several weeks ago.

The Route 66 Car Memorial Run
Route 66 in America is one the most famous roads in the US and last weekend saw the Route 66 festival take place at the Old Chain in Rocks Bridge, crowds turned out in thousands to celebrate this American highway and its history that is belonged to the highway.
Route 66 is neither the longest road in the US or the oldest and it is weird to think why the road is so popular however it is the most famous road within the US and it is a 2,400 mile road stretching from Los Angeles to Chicago. It is a fine road and all guide books and even top tourist websites will urge you take this journey.
The Route 66 festival which is now well established is known as the main road in America and event boasted all kinds of live music performances, bike rides and with special cars showing up such as American limousines and classic limousines such as Cadillac. The festival was all in good honour and all the money which was raised went to victims of the Joplin tornado, donations for this were taken on the day of the event and will help people in desperate need.
Route 66 is certainly a historic tourist destination is worth checking out by everyone and if you do want to ride around in a luxury limousine or classic vehicle then please feels free to contact us for a free quotation.

I am Giving These Patterns Away!
I have been the fortunate recipient of patterns, fabric, notions, etc. from friends who don't know what to do with their mother's/grandmother's/aunt's stashes. I have also bid on 'lots' on ebay just to get one or two of the patterns in the group. And I must face it: I have also purchased patterns over the last 35 years that I really know that I won't ever use. (I will never be that size again and my darling daughter and I don't have the same body type.) I have been given more updated patterns that I like, etc. from a friend that no longer wants to sew clothing. I have gone through my too-many-to-count patterns and have found about 100 patterns, smocking booklets, etc. that I would like to give away. I have separated them into several stacks in three categories: Children's Patterns, Adult Patterns, and Smocking Patterns & Booklets. The first set is up this week. It contains children's patterns from the 1940's through the 1990's. All you have to do is leave me a note with a way to contact you in the comment section. Each name will get a number. My son will pull a number from a hat on Friday night (July 19). I will announce the winner on Saturday (July 20) and mail the box on Monday (July 22).
The next few pictures show some more of my recent vintage finds. The lovely baby blanket is lined and hand embroidered. The little pinafore has colored eyelet insertion and cute little pockets. The baby gown has lovely lace on the bottom and rather large eyelet fabric used for the bodice. This little dress is very sweet and I would like to reproduce it using somewhat smaller embroidered eyelet fabric.

Curtis Jackson went to Instagram Tuesday (February 13) to reveal Optimum and Starz are reunited once again.
It took longer then l thought it would but we got the deal done. POWER back on Optimum. #power #denofthieves #theoath

"To all my people in New York, I got a place there and it's really bad when you go in and turn on your cable and Starz is gone? It's crazy that Optimum just took it off the air.

Roma vs Chelsea: Frank Lampard offers Antonio Conte advice and makes N'Golo Kante claim
CHELSEA legend Frank Lampard has offered tactical advice to manager Antonio Conte for tonight's game against Roma.
Chelsea travel to Rome for their second Champions League Group C clash after drawing 3-3 in their first game at Stamford Bridge earlier this month, when they let a two-goal lead slip.
And Lampard hopes Conte stocks up on midfielders in his starting line up at the Stadio Olimpico to avoid another disappointing result against Roma.
Conte brought defender David Luiz into midfield in the home fixture, but Lampard is confident N'Golo Kante will return to first-team action tonight.
Kante has missed Chelsea's last five games after picking up a thigh injury during the international break with France.
"Conte will want to prove a point and to do that against Roma, Chelsea will have to play better than a fortnight ago when they did well to escape with a 3-3 draw," Lampard told the Evening Standard.
"Chelsea need to defend as a team. I will be surprised if Conte doesn't pick three in midfield and I'm sure N'Golo Kante will start if he's fit.
"Conte needs bodies in midfield, his team struggled against them at the Bridge. Roma moved the ball around and changed the play.
"I'm sure N'Golo Kante will start if he's fit"Frank Lampard
"Given the standings in the group, Chelsea must come back with something.
"They put themselves in a great position with that win in Atletico last month but they suffered a slight setback last time.
"A draw will keep them comfortable, a win will put them into the next round."
