Complete Enlightenment is the first authoritative translation and commentary on The Sutra of Complete Enlightenment, a central text that shaped the development of East Asian Buddhism and Ch'an (Chinese Zen). The text is set in the form of a transcription of discussions between the Buddha and the twelve enlightened beings(bodhisattvas), who question him on all aspects of spiritual practice.
This new translation preserves all the liveliness and nuance of the text in the original Chinese. The sutra's ancient wisdom is brought to life by the commentaries of Master Sheng-yen, one of the most revered living Buddhist masters in the Ch'an lineage. This is truly a manual for the spiritual journey toward complete enlightenment, providing the key to the deep, poetic, and practical meanings of the scripture.
" "With skill and authority, Master Sheng-yen's new commentary uses the sutra as a means of elucidating the essentials of Ch'an practice. His commentary bears eloquent witness to the vitality of Ch'an tradition in our day. It is an excellent place to begin for anyone who wishes to learn what that tradition is all about." Peter N. Gregory, Professor of Buddhist Studies, University of Illinois"

Feminists Against Sweatshops
What is a sweatshop?
The U.S. General Accounting Office defines a sweatshop as an employer that violates more than one federal or state labor law governing minimum wage and overtime, child labor, industrial homework, occupational safety and health, worker's compensation or industry regulation. Sweatshops exist both internationally and domestically and the U.S. Department of Labor estimates that over 50% of sewing shops in the US are sweatshops as defined by the above definition. Buying "Made in the USA" clothing often does not mean "sweatshop free".
Workers in sweatshops are usually young women and immigrant workers that are desperately poor and work long, long hours, sometimes up to 20 hours a day and their wages still do not total a workable wage to feed and clothe their families. The workers are often denied bathroom breaks and forced to undergo pregnancy tests and take birth control so the companies do not have to pay maternity leave costs. The workers often suffer verbal and physical abuse and struggle to complete high quotas each day.
What can I do?
As a consumer, you play a critical role in the system that allows for sweatshops to exist. Without sweatshops many, many people would be unemployed and forced to turn to other income generating activities, possibly prostitution. The goal is not to get rid of the garment industry altogether but rather to drastically improve the conditions these workers must endure.
As more consumers spend their dollars buying clothing constructed under fair conditions the industry will have to follow the lead and provide clothing that is manufactured through fair means.
For more, see the Take Action page.
Why are sweatshops a global issue?
Sweatshops employ millions of people, mostly young women, in deplorable conditions around the world, while their employers profit in the billions. These modern day slaves are barely able to survive under poor conditions and their wages are miniscule.
The United Nations International Labor Organization (ILO) has identified the following conventions as fundamental to the rights of human beings at work, irrespective of countries' levels of development:
- Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
- The elimination of forced and compulsory labor
- The abolition of child labor
- The elimination of discrimination in the workplace
Across the globe, these guidelines are violated, with no one i held accountable. Each garment produced under these violations that we purchase supports companies that ignore the international protocol for fair and safe industry conditions.
Are there sweatshops in the United States?
In 2000, more than half of the 22,000 sewing shops in the U.S. violated minimum wage and overtime laws and 75% violated health and safety laws. A study in 2000 found that 98% of Los Angeles garment factories violated workplace health and safety standards by operating under conditions such as blocked fire exits, unsanitary bathrooms and poor ventilation. The workers in Los Angeles are almost entirely immigrants earning about 1/3 of a living wage.
The Department of Labor and Immigration is overworked and underfunded and has yet to seriously address the desperate situation of sweatshops within our boarders.
For a closer look at the lives of female garment workers on Sapian Island, a commonwealth of the United States, read "Paradise Lost: Greed, Sex Slavery, Forced Abortions and Right-Wing Moralists" in Ms. Magazine.
The women employed in these sweatshops are not protected by the domestic and international protections provided in other industries, though they are a commonwealth of the United States.
Why are sweatshops a feminist issue?
85% of sweatshop workers are young women between the ages of 15-25. The employers at these sweatshops often force the women to take birth control and do routine pregnancy tests so they do not have to pay maternity leave. Women are often fired after becoming pregnant in complete violation of the law yet no one is held accountable.
Though often not intentionally, our purchases perpetuate the situation and our inaction allows for these conditions to exist in our country and abroad. Take action to fix sweatshops and allow women the dignity of a living wage in healthy, legal working conditions.
What are some of the goals of the anti-sweatshop movement?
- That workers be paid a LIVING wage
- That companies adopt real independent monitoring by local human rights organizations
- That stricter limits be placed on companies' mandatory overtime policies
- That overtime be paid at a higher rate than regular hours
- That workers be allowed their freedom of association and freedom of speech

BY A NAME: Do you call the carousel at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk "the carousel at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk" or do you call it "the Looff," like you're all in the know and you and the Looff go way back? Uh-huh. We thought it might be the latter. And that's cool; anyone who tries to get in with a merry-go-round is on page one of our personal a-ok book (and we know, there are finer points between merry-go-rounds and carousels, but we're sometimes like to interchange the terms, just to keep things fresh). If you are indeed on a first-name basis with the Looff, we're betting you know that August 2011 marks its centennial, and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is celebrating with a brassy bash.
AUG. 1 THROUGH 7: Real brass-plated rings -- like the old-school shiny circles youngsters in boaters would grab at decades back -- will be mixed in with the other grabbable rings at the Looff from Monday, Aug. 1 through Sunday, Aug. 7. If you do indeed nab yourself a real brasser, you get to keep it -- unusual souvenir, hooray! -- or you get to turn it in for a prize (if you're thinking a commemorative poster, you're on the right track). The other rings, the rings that are always on the grab at the carousel, are steel, but we're sure you know that. If you'd like to know more about one of the jewels of the boardwalk, and indeed the Californian shore, read on Looffians. Read on.

|Dear Mr. Heap,
I just wanted to send you a short note regarding the exceptional service my crew and I received while operating out of Front Range Airport over the holiday period.
We parked our Gulfstream G550 (N550RP) at FTG between December 26th and 31st and everyone we came in contact with at the FBO bent over backwards to make sure that everything we needed was taken care of; from unloading all of our aircraft stock that could have frozen, to giving the pilots a ride to the "big" airport and making sure our flight attendant got a ride back to her vehicle. We were also very pleasantly surprised when we were told that the fees had been waved for our stay. The crew was totally up on our arrival back to Denver and I received a call from the front desk asking if we were ready to be picked up from our airline flight.
We bought a bit of gas, loaded up our stock and even "stole" one of the containers we had used, to make things easier on us at the end of the next leg when we had to offload the stock again in Rifle.
Our entire experience at Front Range was first class and I would not hesitate to return to this airport when in the area.
Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to everyone who worked our stay with you, and best wishes for a very successful 2010.

Delicious! I substituted rice flour, and used raspberry rhubarb jam instead.
Oct 13, 2010
but i used scooby snacks they were much easier to make and kids liked them just the same. if you want the extra sweetness just dip the cookie in jam :)
Oct 11, 2010
Very brittle cookie that does not do well with re-rolling the dough. I'd also use vanilla instead of the almond flavor. I used homemade strawberry jam instead of the raspberry and Wilton Candy melts (1 bag) instead of the white chocolate squares. Mine didn't turn out as pretty as the picture, but they tasted okay.I think it would be better and easier to get the chocolate to stay on if it was done with thin cake layers (like layered petit fours), with jam in between, cut out, frozen, and then dipped in chocolate.
Oct 25, 2009
3 stars for the idea.But I would use scooby snack cookies and dip in melted white chocolate.Simple!
Oct 11, 2009
For a great tasting cookie, everyone should use their own favorite cut-out cookie recipe and proceed from there. Then, it is a good cookie. The idea itself is great.
Oct 3, 2009
I think Jam = Marrow inside bones which is blood like
Sep 22, 2009
I like the concept but would dip the cookies singley w/o the jam. Don't really understand the concept of the jam. Bones are solid.
Oct 28, 2008
I made these cookies. They were very time consuming, didn't look like the picture AT ALL when I was done and didn't even taste good. I was very disappointed.
Oct 21, 2008
I would try this, but I am not talented enough. I could see if my daughter can try this.

Double, treble or multiple obstacles
If two or more obstacles, although sited close together, are designed as separate problems, each will be numbered and judged independently. A competitor must not, under penalty of elimination, re-take any obstacle, which he has already jumped.
Deleted the words a competitor may refuse twice at each obstacle without incurring elimination" This is now an incorrect statement as 4 refusals over the entire course = Elimination
Faults at obstacles
Faults (refusal, run-out, circling) will be penalised only if in the opinion of the judge concerned, they are connected with the negotiation or attempted negotiation of one of the numbered obstacles. Note that re-taking part of a multiple obstacle after a refusal is not penalised for error of course or by elimination.
The word "fall" has been removed from the bracket as a fall is now elimination anywhere on course.
Circle At an obstacle composed of several elements (A, B, C, etc…) a horse will be penalized if it passes around any element or circles between elements at any time between first being presented at the obstacle and finally completing the last element. See rule C.12.5.2. However, at an obstacle where any of the elements is black flagged, passing around the last element will not be penalised. See C.14. for a judging diagram
Clarification of the circle rule for black flagged combination fences no changes to the intention of the ruleFalls- Fall of competitor and/or horse any where on the cross country course is Elimination.
As per State Council recommendation, wording from FEI Eventing rules July 2009
Examination after a fall – Medical fitness
All riders who have had a fall during training or competition at an Event must be examined by the official medical officer (or accreditedfirst aid provider) before they take further part in the competitionWhen a rider suffers from unconsciousness and/or Concussion as aresult of a fall during training or competition they will be automaticallydisqualified from the competition and are ineligible to take any furtherpart in any other test or competition at that eventThis is new, taken from FEI Eventing Rules July 2009, and clarifies an area not addressed in our rules previously and is a safety issue for riders.
Compulsory veterinary Inspection
All competitors must proceed to the veterinary inspector immediately after the completion of the cross country, under penalty of elimination. The wording "Competitors must not dismount, under penalty of elimination, until instructed to by the veterinary surgeon or steward "has been removedThis is a relic from the FEI rules when competitors had to weigh in at the completion of cross country and serves no purpose other than another way to eliminate riders unnecessarily. If they do not attend the vet check they will be eliminated.

In the festive season of Winterfair on the planet Barrayar, Lord Miles Vorkosigan is making elaborate preparations for his wedding. The long-awaited event stirs up romance and intrigue among his eccentric family and friends, particularly for bioengineered space mercenary Sergeant Taura and shy, diffident Armsman Roic. But Miles also has an enemy who is plotting to turn the romantic ceremony into a festival of death.
Winterfair Gifts offers another of Bujold's witty, character-centered science-fiction plots with a twist of romance.

Really Enjoyed
I had read two of Lois McMaster Bujold books over the years but nothing containing Miles himself. I have really enjoyed these audio books they make the miles fly. I found the narator easy to listen to, he changed for each character but not to such an extreme as to be unplesant to listen to. The reading was nice and smooth, without putting you to sleep.

Read before Cryoburn!
A short story about Miles and Ekaterin's wedding. It's told from Armsman Roic's view and was kind of refreshing to see things from his prospective. . Very sweet episode with Taura, too! If you read the series, I would definitely recommend adding this short story to your collection. It also give you better understanding of Roic before you read Cryoburn!

I laughed & cried all in the same breath
This book was truly a delight. In addition to the wonderful wedding saga of the lead characters, Miles & Ekaterin, you get a lot of insight into the characters of TAURA and Mile's new armsman, ROIC. I found myself laughing & crying almost at the same time while reading & re-reading the sections between Taura & Roic.
Kudos to Bujold & Gardner for this off-the-normal Vorkosigan Adventure.

This Is How A Novella Should Be
This was an excellently made novella. Considering I am not a huge fan of short stories that is a big compliment. This a telling of Miles life through the perspective of Armsman Roic. After having read the last 9 books from Miles viewpoint having a short side track for a few hours from another characters perspective was interesting. This is a great treat for a fan of the series.

I Love This Series
What made the experience of listening to Winterfair Gifts the most enjoyable?
As usual, this was a compelling read from Lois. Although lacking in the action area that I enjoy so much from the Miles books, it was still exciting. Excellent addition to my library.

Only problem is it's too short!
I have listened to all the Vorkosigan series books that are out on Audible, even the ones I have already read before...multiple times. Maybe I'm obsessed. I need more Miles. Grover Gardner narrates this whole series perfectly - he is wonderful! Start with this if you like to get a taste of the series (and if you don't mind spoilers) but I recommend starting from the beginning with The Warrior's Apprentice and working through them from there. I'd like to see Shards of Honor and Barrayar on Audible as well.

Lois... Please, please, please...
Bring us more Miles.
This is my favorite series, and I have heard them all more than once. Most are on Audible, but keep them comming.
There are not many books with this mix of action, emotion, and humor. Great Characters that are very memorable from book to book.

Action Packed Short Story
What did you love best about Winterfair Gifts?
This story wrapped up the Miles wedding story arc. But in this universe nothing runs easily.
What did you like best about this story?
I am a huge fan Lois McMaster Bujold's work most notably the Miles VorKosigan saga but I had missed this story for a number of years. I was delighted to find there was actually a story devoted to the wedding.
Which scene was your favorite?
Armsman Roic finds Seargent Tura taking one of the wedding gifts.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The wedding when it finally happened was very welcome.

A must for fans
If you're a fan of Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series then this extra addition will not disappoint. A short story detailing Miles's wedding, the audio reading meant that what might have been a quick snack turned into a delightful feast of an experience. For fans this is excellent fare from Bujold as usual. Newcomers might want to try Bujold's earlier titles first. Excellent.

A good short story
This is a short story (but then, it's cheap too). It's a good glimpse into some much-loved characters. It's certainly not where I would choose to start listening to the series, but for someone who has read everything else in the Vorkosigan series, it's certainly worth a listen.
Also I too disagree about the narration (while accepting that everyone has a right for preferences in such matters). For me, Grover Gardner is a superb reader of the novels - dry, witty and understated. I love to read the books and then a bit later listen them to them too - it's a completely different, but equally wonderful, experience.

Great Series Great Narration
As an avid Vorkosigan fan having all the books from Audible, I disagree with the previous reviewer's comments on the narration. Grover Gardner's narration of the series is superb. His narration effortlessly captures Miles' mannerisms, his wit, intrigue and the inevitable 'forward momentum'. Can't wait for 'Barrayar', available November this year, and hopefully 'CryoBurn' the latest in the saga, November 2010. My personal preference is to listen to Grover Gardner than to read them myself.

Poor Narrator
An enjoyable short story spoilt by a poor narrator. He has an intrusive american accent and seems unable to pronounce certain words. He was bad enough to stop me from buying any more audio books by this author.
I'll stick to the written word for this author in future. Its a shame as I love her work and would love to be able to listen to the stories on long car journeys.

This book was very short obviously and not up to the usual scrapes associated with Miles.
However it has the usual funny bits that make me laugh.

Nothing wrong with it.
If you've enjoyed the rest of the series then you'll enjoy this one too.
It suffers from the same issue many shirt stories set in established world's do, that there isn't enough time to give all the relevant back story. Vorkosigan veterans will have no problems, though.

At the top of the steps leading to the knot garden, pink muhly, flanked on each side by
Knock Out roses, presents itself as swinging saloon doors.
It stops traffic in our small town. In the middle of fall, cars come to a screeching halt as the drivers see the stand of pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) rimming the upper left curbing of our circle driveway. It must be the unexpectedness of seeing a swath of pink cotton candy backlit by the soft angle of fall's lower light that causes this reaction. In early mornings, it is often sprinkled with dew or sparkled with frost, giving the appearance of glistening pink diamonds that would have caused even Elizabeth Taylor to feel intense envy. It is a thing of wondrous awe.
Pink muhly grass waves its pink magic wands like no other. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–10, it requires the sharpest of drainage to prosper. In nature, this grass colonizes the sand dunes along the Gulf of Mexico and the Southern Atlantic coast. My eyes were first blessed to see a blanket of pink illuminated by the setting sun while walking along the boardwalk to the ocean's edge in South Carolina. It was an epiphany of beauty and totally unexpected. The light, the site and the mass of plants packed tightly together made it appear as if one continuous layer of pink fluff had come to rest on the Earth's surface.
After seeing that first sea of pink on an October afternoon, plants were located, purchased and hauled back home to our garden, then located in Zone 6. The composition of the soil was anything but sandy; it was more like the stuff of brick-making dense red clay. The planting area had the requisite drainage, but the plants did not live through the winter.
We later moved to Houston, TX, where the soil was sandy and the pink muhly grew naturally. It was placed in our new garden so the setting sun would make the pink muhly grass appear aflame in the fall. It was lovely but not nearly as spectacular as the scene at the South Carolina seashore. The grass was a big player in a small garden dominated by pine trees and yaupon hollies (Ilex vomitoria). More massing was needed to achieve the remembered pink haze.
With backlighting, pink muhly grass, shines along the driveway and stops passersby in their tracks.
In April, pink muhly grass begins growing after being cut to the ground in late winter. Planting spring bloomers around the grass will help give interest until it gains momentum over the summer for the big fall show.
Three years later, we moved back to Tennessee, propelled by the birth of our first grandchild there. This time we settled in a small town that was more than 100 miles to the west and south of our former garden in warmer Zone 7. The soil was still shovel-breaking red clay interspersed with rocks (hardly the light and airy environment of sandy shores beloved by a native grass), but determination sometimes overrides logic. The first fall, a couple of pink muhly grasses in 1-gallon pots joined Knock Out roses in the circular bed that jutted into the space of the driveway.
Looking across the driveway stand of Muhlenbergia capillaris, the original planting can be seen in the round bed by the steps leading to the front door.
The color of the rose blossoms was the perfect marriage to the rosy pink of the muhly grass. Together, they turned the fall garden into a magical fairyland. The same plantings were duplicated on either side of the steps at the top of a hill in the backyard with delightful results. After the gravel driveway was paved with concrete, with some of the gravel tossed along the edge of the upper curbing to help with leveling, the only lawn on the entire property was planted to the left of the garage. The mix of bluegrass and tall fescue did well enough, except for the rocky part at the edge where leftover sand had been spread after stucco was applied to the lower cinder block portion of the garage. Years of applying special grass-starting mix, raking rocks, diligent weeding and faithful watering could not grow the desired lawn there. The idea of trying a stand of pink muhly, like we had seen at the beach years earlier, was carried out with divisions taken from the existing plantings of the driveway bed and the top of the hill. In total, 50 plants were nestled closely together in three narrow rows with hardly more than one living sprig per plug. Not only did every piece live, but they grew and flourished quickly in the sandy gravel and clay mixture. After being cut down to ground level each year in late winter, it was top-dressed with soil conditioner to keep weeds from invading until the grass could fill in.
It was somewhat sparse for the first few seasons, but its potential for greatness shone through when the rising and setting sun was positioned just right in the fall. Patience paid its dividends each year as the muhly grass filled in more until it became a writhing serpent of pink. Gentle breezes or violent storms, wind, rain, ice or snow, the pink muhly stand along the driveway is the object of desire for all who see it, whether they are gardeners or not.
Muhlenbergia capillaris requires full sun and excellent drainage for the best results. Winter temperatures should not dip lower than -20 F, although solme garderners have seen it survive in a protected Zone 4 microclimate. The optimum time for moving or dividing is during the cooler months when rainfall or hand-watering can be done in abundance — although pink muhly is extremely drought-tolerant once established, it needs copious amounts of water to get the roots settled in to its liking. Ask your local nursery to carry the pink muhly. And ask your landscaper to install a mass of it on a slope where the autumn sun can bring out the highlights. Or, you can do what I did and buy a couple of pots and patiently divide them until a sweep of pink perfection is achieved.
Pink muhly grass can be planted in a swath or alone as a focal point.
Pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) looks like a waterfall when covered with December snow.
Botanical Name: Muhlenbergia capillaris
Common Name: Pink muhly grass
Hardiness: USDA Zones 5–10
Height: 3 to 6 feet
Spread: 1 to 3 feet
Growth Habit: Clumping
Growth Pace: Moderate
Light: Full sun is best, but part shade is tolerated.
Maintenance: Low; yearly cutting to the ground
Tolerance: Deer tolerant, drought tolerant, salt tolerant
Characteristics: Native, self-seeds, showy flowers, showy foliage, showy seed heads
Bloom Time: Fall
Flower Color: Pink fading to purple and lavender
Uses: Beds and borders, containers, naturalizing, specimen plant or focal point; may be grown as an annual
Seasonal Interest: Winter, summer, fall
Growing Conditions: Tolerates a wide variety of soil conditions from moist to dry, acidic to alkaline, sandy to clay. Established plantings will not need supplemental watering, but the grass will get larger with liberal irrigation. In areas where perennial, Muhlenbergia capillaris won't start growing until mid to late spring. Major growth and flowering happens when the weather is hot. Winter color is light tan, and it will remain standing and attractive until finally collapsing in January. It can be cut down to ground level at that time (or before) if a neater appearance is preferred. Self-seeding occurs best if it is allowed to stand into midwinter. Seedlings will have fine, flat blades with a slightly bluish tint to distinguish them from lawn and other grasses. Babies show up most reliably in gravel paths.

I look at the size of this thing, I try to think of the skill needed to get it looking this good, and I just can't do it. My head explodes.

Soothing TouchExceptional Products for Massage, Spa and Home
Soothing Touch began around 1977, in a small garage in Los Angeles, California. The late Yogi Bhajan (Founder) was a Kundalini Yoga teacher and master from India who had moved to the West to teach yoga, meditation, and healthy eating habits. His students were from all walks of life, and they were learning how to live the life of a householder and maintain their yogic lifestyle in an ashram / group environment. In their quest to find a way to support themselves, "Yogi Ji" provided them a collection of ancient Ayurvedic formulas for oil blends that had been used for centuries in India. He knew the value of a good oil blend for the body and the coming need and popularity of the massage and holistic markets in the US.
So began the business of Soothing Touch, very simply, with hopes that enough money could be generated to live on. Little did they know that the business would not only provide a small but steady income for a group of young, eager, starry-eyed yoga students but also one day provide over 200 natural, high quality massage and spa products for therapists and customers around the world.
Soothing Touch continued to grow and prosper. They moved to Eugene, Oregon and expanded their product offering to include Ayurvedic creams and lotions, topical pain relief gels, body butters, then organic sugar and salt scrubs. The scrubs quickly grew to become some of the fastest selling items of their category in the US natural retail market.
Fast forward to December of 2006, Soothing Touch was sold to the current owners and the business was relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico - the Land of Enchantment. A new production facility was established and offices built from the ground up. What was about to take place was the rebirthing of a long forgotten hidden jewel, Soothing Touch. Once the dust settled, the team was organized and we began the process of helping Soothing Touch realize its true potential.
In our first 6 years in Santa Fe, we have introduced many new items including Bath Salts, Organic Lip Balms, Versa Crème for Massage, Desert Blossom Collection, Narayan Balms, Basics Oil, Lotion and Cream Collection and more. We have put in place many new production procedures that include energy saving and resource sensitive practices. One which will conserve water and recycle over 300,000 gallons per year! We have also updated equipment to more energy conscious and efficient models. We have recently become a Certified Organic Manufacturing Facility by the NMDA. We now produce both conventional and organic products.
As we continue to grow, we look forward to the many challenges and opportunities ahead. We are working on some very innovative products, more "green" production practices, and reaching an even larger audience around the US and the world. As a family-run business, we work together as a team, value good customer service, have some fun and understand the importance of creating a high quality product at an affordable price.

I decided to set up a thread of posts about ChinaSCINet. I apologize in advance for the disorganized fashion of this topic. If I stop to write this in a formal way, it takes time and sometimes doesn't get posted until several days later. So, I am writing this off the cuff without a lot of editing and hoping that it makes sense.
I just returned from China and Hong Kong. Professor Kwok-Fai So and I visited Dr. Zhu Hui at the Kunming Army General Hospital. We were very impressed by their new hospital and operating facilities. I met their patients while they were doing their calisthenics in the morning. They are working very hard and doing intradural decompression on many of the patients. The good news is that they have now received formal permission from the Military go ahead with the planned clinical trial. The Department of Science and Technology of Yunnan province is providing some support for the trial. We are applying to the Ministry of Health in Beijing and of Yunnan Province for permission to import cells from the United States to the hospital for the trial. We have been assured that this permission should be provided in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we have arranged for technicians and doctors to be trained at the Chinese University of Hong Kong to learn how to process the cells and will be carrying out validation of the cells in the coming month. It is my fervent hope that they can start the surgery before the end of 2010. Most of the major obstacles have been taken care off and here is to hoping that there are no more.
The clinical trial in Hong Kong is commencing. We applied for and have received permission from the Institutional Review Boards of both HKU and CUHK to allocate patients to the treatment groups sequentially, rather than randomly. The first surgery has been tentatively scheduled for October 11. The cells are ready to go and we have completed validation of cell viability and quality. Five patients have been qualified. Several others may soon qualify. We are hoping that more people will volunteer to be screened for the trial.
Professor So and I, as well as Professors Wai San Poon and Gilbert Leung, spoke to a group of over 100 people on Sunday (August 29, 2010) in Kowloon, at a lecture hall next to the Kowloon Hospital. for over 3 hours, we spoke and answered questions about the trial. I did not do a count but I believe that over 50 people with spinal cord injury attended. There were many questions and we tried to answer all of them as honestly as we can. Below are some of my impressions concerning the meeting.
- Professor So and I reviewed most of the published literature on the subject of umbilical cord blood cell (UCB) mononuclear cell (UCBMC) therapies and lithium therapy of spinal cord injury. We pointed out that a large body of literature has shown beneficial effects of UCBMC and lithium alone in rats. In the case of UCBMC, there are several dog studies as well. UCBMC also appear to prevent cell death and are anti-inflammatory, providing strong justification for the use of the cells in acute spinal cord injury.
- Somebody asked about efficacy of the treatment in chronic animal SCI. I pointed out that we have not been able to test the combination therapy (UCBMC + lithium) because there is no such thing as HLA-matched umbilical cord blood and cyclosporin immunosuppression is necessary to assure survival of the cells for more than 3 weeks in the spinal cord. Unfortunately, cyclosporin blocked the effects of lithium in the spinal cord. On the other hand, there is ample evidence that umbilical cord blood cells or lithium alone, when given shortly after injury improves recovery. Several studies gave the human umbilical cord blood as late as 1-2 weeks after injury and still showed significant beneficial effect.
- Dr. Leung and Dr. Poon talked about the surgery, pointing out that two small laminectomies above and below the injury are very unlikely to harm the spinal cord or to produce instability. However, it is essential that they can get good MRI images of the spinal cord to determine the best place to operate. As I have indicated here before, direct visual inspection of the spinal cord at the time of surgery is the safest way to inject cells into the spinal cord.
- We emphasized that we will be using HLA-matched umbilical cord blood cells and that the cells are transplanted into the spinal cord. I pointed out that the reason why umbilical cord blood cells may have not been particularly effective in other places such as Shenzhen, India, and other medical tourism clinics may be because they have been injecting non-matched cells intravenously or intrathecally. In my opinion, the cells must reach and get into the spinal cord to be beneficial. If one does not use HLA-matched cells, the cells will be immune-rejected rapidly by the body. To inject non-HLA matched cells intravenously or intrathecally, as they are doing in Beike Biotech and other places, is a waste of time and money.
- There was some discussion about higher cervical spinal cord injuries and lower T11-L1 (lumbosacral) injuries. Dr. Poon explained that injection of cells into the spinal cord about a C4 injury may damage the phrenic nucleus that is responsible for breathing and that risk should not be undertaken until we know more about the benefits of the treatment. I pointed out that injuries to the lower thoracolumbar cord may not benefit from cord blood cells transplants as much and that we will need neuronal replacement therapies for people with flaccid paralysis of the legs.
- There were questions from people who were older than 60. The trial in Hong Kong was approved for people 18-60. [Note: We will try to get approval of the trial in the U.S. for people from 18-64.] I said to the audience that older people have a higher risk of complications from surgery. For a first trial, we did not think that this risk is worthwhile but that we are committed to test the safety of this trial in older patients after the current trial shows that it is safe in adults from 18-64. I also said that we are planning a trial in the U.S. for children ages 8-17.
- One man asked repeatedly about whether or not I would help him to go to doctors in Shenzhen or other parts of China to get this therapy into patients (presumably him). I told him that we are not there to provide therapies to patients and our goal is to test therapies in credible clinical trials and to show the therapies work or do not work. If the clinical trials show that the therapies work, they will be widely adopted by doctors and will benefit many people. If the therapies don't work, we stop wasting time and resources on therapies that don't work and focus on the ones that do. He seemed quite angry that it has taken so long and that he has been waiting 6 years. I spoke to him later and will see him when I go to Hong Kong next to see if I can suggest what he can do for his condition.
After this "town-hall meeting", the investigators met and discussed the details of the trial. There is a lot of do in the coming weeks.

For a relaxed Sunday outing I channeled my inner Liz Hurley in a pair of crisp, white trousers. White jeans have always been a summer staple for me - not only do they flatter and draw attention to your legs (one part of my body I am actually a fan of lol), but they also make your tan pop like nothing else can! Today I decided to roll mine up for a more casual feel.

David Beckham said he is not ready to retire just yet, but when he does Major League Soccer would be standing by to help him take up his option to buy into the league whose horizons he helped expand.
When he inked his ground-breaking five-year deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007, it included a unique agreement that when he was done playing he would have the right to exercise an option to become an owner.
Since reported to be about US$25 million, that buy-in would be considerably less than the current market rate — at least in part because Beckham's tenure with the Galaxy has helped raise the league's profile.
The Montreal Impact paid US$40 million in the spring of 2010 and the team began to play this season, and the price certainly is not dropping.
"At that time, remember where Major League soccer was," MLS commissioner Don Garber said on Monday in his state of the league summation, part of the buildup to today's MLS Cup league title match.
Beckham and the Galaxy are vying for a second straight title over the same team they beat last year, Houston Dynamo.
"I believe we had 12 teams in the league. We had not yet had the television relationships that we have today. We had probably half the number of soccer[-specific] stadiums and the league was just more immature," Garber said. "What we were looking for was a long-term partner in building this league, someone who was committed to working with us in creating more value for everyone. That's the role that David played."
Beckham, winner of six English Premier League titles with Manchester United and a Spanish La Liga title with Real Madrid, captured his first MLS championship in the final match of his original contract.
He opted to return, but said this month that today's match would be his last MLS outing.
Not yet ready to call time on his playing career, Beckham said he has some "exciting options on the table" as he considers where to play next.
That means there is no hurry to work out his ownership options, which Garber said would include any MLS market except New York, where plans for launching a second team are already underway.
That raises the possibility that Beckham could end up owning a team in Los Angeles, currently home of the flourishing Galaxy, as well as Chivas USA.
The Galaxy are part of the mammoth Anschutz Entertainment Group, which is currently for sale.
"There is a possibility for him to work with the league office to find ways to transfer that option into an opportunity in LA," Garber said. "It's way too premature to even talk about that or to even speculate what that would look like, but that opportunity does exist."

On the way to Andoria the NX-01 was intercepted by an Andorian warship. The vessel attacked without warning, refusing all communication. Commander Shran assisted Archer by indicating a weak spot on the ship's shielding, but firing on the area had no effect on the ship. They managed to drive the ship off with torpedoes; Archer decided to follow.1
Both Shran and Gral blamed one another for the situation; Shran claimed that the Tellarites may have captured an Andorian ship and used it to attack Enterprise, while Gral claimed that it was obvious that the Imperial Guard was acting without government orders to disrupt any chance of peace.1
On reaching the damaged ship, Enterprise discovered a surprise – it was not the Andorian vessel which had previously attacked them but rather a much smaller ship of unfamiliar design. The vessel was equipped with a large number of subspace transceiver arrays and multispectral emitters all over the hull. Archer beamed a team over to the vessel in pressure suits, since life support did not appear to be working. The vessel became active once the away team was aboard, attacking Enterprise. Some of the boarding party was recovered, but Reed and Tucker were stranded on the ship when Enterprise was forced to retreat. Analysis of the data the boarding party sent back showed that it may be Romulan in origin. Further analysis indicated that the multispectral emitters were a holographic system which allowed the ship to imitate any other vessel, using tri-phasic emitters to simulate different kinds of weapons.1
Meanwhile, tensions between the Andorians and Tellarites had risen to breaking point. Shran broke out of his quarters and took the Tellarites hostage, threatening vengeance for the attack. Although he backed down when Archer offered proof that the Tellarites had not in fact been behind the attacks, one of the Tellarites took the chance to fire on Talas, Shran's tactical officer and lover.1
On the Romulan vessel, Reed and Trip reached the bridge only to find it empty – the entire ship was apparently unmanned, piloted by remote control from a distant location.1
The Romulan drone ship launched another attack, this time imitating the NX-01 to destroy a Rigellian ship. The ship took some damage in the battle and T'Pol and Mayweather managed to develop a sensor network capable of locating the ship, but implementing it would require 128 ships. Archer set about gathering a fleet of Human, Vulcan, Andorian and Tellarite ships – ironically promoting the very unity which the Romulans were trying to destroy with the drone ship.2
On the drone Reed and Tucker tried to disable to ship to assist Enterprise in locating it. Initially they had limited success – the ship was fitted with self-repair systems, and those controlling it threatened to release radiation into the bridge to kill the two officers if they did not co-operate. However, Reed managed to overload his phase pistol on the bridge, inflicting considerable damage on the drone.2
When Talas died of her wounds Shran challenged the Tellarite who had shot her to a duel. Fearing that the alliance would be broken, Archer substituted himself for the diplomat and managed to win the duel by disabling Shran. With the continuation of the alliance thus ensured, the fleet managed to locate the drone ship and Enterprise hurried to intercept. The vessel repaired itself sufficiently to engage Enterprise in battle; Tucker and Reed managed to reach an airlock and literally threw themselves overboard as a group of allied ships arrived to take the drone on. Unfortunately the drone repaired it's warp drive and escaped the battle.2
Analysis of the telemetry which controlled the drone indicated that the pilot was an Andorian telepath. Archer took the Enterprise to Andoria to search out the Aenar, a reclusive telepathic subspecies of Andorian who lived in the Northern Wastes. Archer and Shran managed to contact the Aenar, who confirmed that Gareb, one of their people, had gone missing some months before. Jahmel, The man's sister agreed to accompany Archer on the search for the drone ship, and Enterprise set about constructing a unit which would allow her to interrupt the communications link between the ship and pilot.3
The Romulans, disturbed at the Human's ability to unite the various races against the drone ship, dispatched two vessels to destroy the NX-01. The battle did not go well for the Starfleet vessel, but fortunately Jahmel was able to contact her brother on Romulus and inform him that she was on the ship. Rather than endanger his sister's life Gareb used one drone to attack the other; although he was murdered by the Romulan Admiral Valdore for this action, he managed to destroy one of the drones and gave Enterprise the time it needed to destroy the other once and for all.3
This incident had important repercussions throughout known space. For the first time the Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites had come together and worked towards a common goal – a major step forwards for governments who were more usually at one another's throats. It also marked the emergence of the Humans as a significant presence in the area. Even though as yet Earth had only a single starship capable of significant interstellar travel4, the Humans had been by far the most significant factor in determining the true nature of the threat1, gathering the alliance to combat it2, and finally ending it once and for all.3 The ability of Humanity to act so decisively in a crisis and bring together the other races would be a major factor in their eventual unification with the Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites to form the United Federation of Planets only seven years later.5

After all, Persian rugs they create are worthy of kings and some of them did found their way to various courts and palaces. Patterns of Tabriz rugs can feature not only traditional Persian motifs, but sometimes also fully-fledged reproductions of famous works of art. In general, antique Tabriz rugs are widely known to be extremely diverse, as they can range from flat to pile weaves. No wonder that so many art collectors are interested in owning one – each antique Tabriz rug has its own story to tell and waits to be discovered. This stunning antique Tabriz rug was woven in the early 20th century, circa 1920. The beauty of its colors can be rivaled only by the elegance of pattern. The main field features a mosaic-like composition, containing scenes involving plants and animals. The whole is bordered by a skillfully designed frame. Color palette of this piece was composed using shades of beige, blue and green. However, a bit of black and brown used to give this antique Persian rug more depth allowed it to create a wonderful contrast between light and dark colors. Doris Leslie Blau's collection of antique rugs is filled with unique pieces of art, so we would like to encourage you to browse through them and see the beauty of antique Persian carpets for yourself.

OK - I changed the doctype as above...
The flickering was reduced by it but not eliminated, and it now had a black background flash, not white as it did previously. However, I had to quickly remove it because many items on the page got misaligned... text aligning right instead of left, and not aligning with images... search box and go-arrow re-arranged vertically... etc etc.Code:<!doctype html> <html > <head>
After reading your posts, rather than setting up additional pages for testing as a sandbox (which I don't know how to do), by PM I have sent you the ftp login to the site to be able to test a possible solution.
Thank you,

Here is a personal story that involves Addelson indirectly. After college I moved to California in the '70's and was living in an apartment complex that had a basketball court. One day I got involved in a pick-up game with some guys. One of them made a shot from way out and I hollered "From the locker room!", one of Addelson's favorite lines. I got kind of a strange look from one of the other guys. A little later a player put up a shot that rolled around the rim and came out. I said "One roll and no coffee!". The same guy looked at me again and "You aren't from around here, are you?" I told him, no, I'm from ND. He said "Me too. Where in ND?". I told him I was from Medina. Turns out his home town was Streeter, 17 miles away! He said I had to be from ND if I knew those lines Addelson used.
