With just under 40 million people living throughout California, the Golden State's vast number of residents and businesses quite literally create tons of documents each day—many of which contain sensitive and confidential information.
The need to safely destroy documents and protect information leaves a huge number of people and companies looking for secure shredding, and to meet this demand, Shred Nations works throughout both Northern and Southern California to help connect Californians living from San Diego to Sacramento with the nearby shredding services that work best for them.
Finding Shredding Services Near Your California City
Able to offer mobile, off site, or electronic media destruction services through our vast network of California shredding providers, we help to provide you with a variety of shredding services and options to suit your schedule and budget. Here's just a few of the many California cities we work in:
Los Angeles
Known as the "City of Angels", the massive city of LA hosts a diverse economy stretching from entertainment to science and technology, and on top of its industries, also boasts a population of nearly 4 million people, making it the largest city in California and second most populous city in all of the United States.
With its dense concentration of people, both businesses and individuals need to be sure their sensitive documents and information are always safely disposed if they want to keep them out of the wrong hands, and with the help of services from Shred Nations Los Angeles like mobile shredding, Los Angeles residents can get exactly that.
Rather than leaving your home or office, one of our many local shredders in the Los Angeles metropolitan area brings a mobile shredding truck directly to your curbside to shred the documents while you watch—providing both a convenient and secure way to ensure your documents aren't putting you at risk for identity theft or fraud.
Long Beach
If you take a 25 mile trip down to Los Angeles County's southernmost tip, you'll find the city of Long Beach basking in the Southern California sun.
With attractions like the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Long Beach Museum of Art, Long Beach is a major tourist destination as well as a major hub for business.
A bustling city with the second busiest port and 36th largest population in all of the United States, individual city residents and major companies like Boeing find their homes in Long Beach, and when they need shredding for their sensitive personal and proprietary information, also need access to reliable document destruction services nearby.
At Shred Nations Long Beach, we help to provide these services for homes and businesses with multiple pricing options and services such as mobile shredding, and even help to set up community shredding events throughout the Long Beach area so that everyone can get a chance to safely shred their documents.
Santa Monica
Just up the coast from Long Beach and west of Los Angeles lies the city of Santa Monica—a famed resort town and beachfront city known for the iconic Santa Monica Pier and its ideal climate.
With a booming economy since the later part of the 1980s, the growing number of jobs and businesses creates a similarly increasing number of sensitive personal and proprietary documents.
Despite this however, Shred Nations Santa Monica and other nearby locations help to meet the need for safely destroying confidential documents.
In addition to our mobile shredding services and the community shredding events we help to set up, we also can connect Santa Monica residents and businesses with services specially equipped to handle shredding on a large-scale, such as off site shredding.
Like mobile services, a truck comes to your location to pick up your documents, but instead takes them to a secure facility for shredding—helping to cut service costs by minimizing the time a mobile truck would otherwise need to shred your documents on site.
Taking a scenic trip up highway 101, you can find the city of Ventura—one of the westernmost cities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
Otherwise known by it's official name, San Buenaventura, the city has a rich cultural history dating all the way back to the 18th century with the founding of the Mission San Buenaventura.
Although a slightly smaller city and more remote from densely populated LA, Ventura's residents and businesses can still take advantage of shredding services like mobile and off site services for destroying their paper—however sometimes distance must be a cost consideration.
The farther trucks travel, the more a shredding project can cost, which is why there are also cost-efficient alternatives like Shred Nations' drop off shredding locations scattered throughout Ventura and California.
Found in local UPS and other shipping stores, all it takes to have paper shredded is walking in to drop off documents, rather than scheduling a service.
San Francisco
Several hundred miles to the north, the city of San Francisco is also a major population center and considered to be the cultural, commercial, and financial center of Northern California.
Having nearly 18,500 people per square mile, the city is one of the most densely populated cities in the country, and on top of its population is also the headquarters of technology companies ranging from Twitter to Yelp.
With a growing technology-based economy, San Francisco homes and businesses can also utilize electronic media shredding and hard drive destruction services when they need to safely dispose electronics in addition to their hard-copy document shredding.
Your digital media and devices such as CDs, DVDs, fax machines, scanners, and hard drives contain the same personally identifiable information as sensitive paper documents, but with electronic media shredding services you're able to get absolute destruction for these additional risks.

5 Foods for Healthier Hair
Healthy hair doesn't stop with the kind of shampoo you use or how often you wash your hair. It also includes your diet. Here are five foods that will help keep your hair healthy:
1. Blueberries: Blueberries are one of nature's healthiest fruits. Dark berries in general (such as blackberries, raspberries and strawberries) are known to have lots of antioxidants, which are important for combating the free radicals in our body. In addition, blueberries have a lower glycemic index than a lot of other fruit, making them an ideal choice for people with diabetes or for those focusing on weight loss. Blueberries also have a ton of vitamin C, which is essential for healthy hair, since it feeds the tiny hair follicles in your scalp. Without adequate vitamin C, your hair can break more easily. So eat your blueberries! (Leesa recommends www.chews4health.com/Leesa!)
2. Salmon: Wild-caught salmon (as opposed to farm-raised) is chock full of omega-3 fatty acids, which include EPA and DHA, oils that our body doesn't create on its own and are essential to healthy hair, and a healthy body. Salmon is also an excellent source of protein, another essential nutrient for healthy hair. If you don't like salmon, try eating walnuts or flaxseed, which are also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
3. Oysters: Another from the sea, oysters are rich in zinc, an essential nutrient to your hair's health. Too little zinc can lead to hair breakage or a flaky scalp. If you're not a fan of oysters, you can boost your zinc intake with beef and eggs, which also are great sources of protein.
4. Leafy greens: Like you need another reason to eat your spinach! You know that leafy greens are important for a whole host of reasons, but now you can add a few more. They have iron, beta carotene, folate and vitamin C – all nutrients that help keep your hair full of luster and shine. You can eat spinach, kale, Swiss chard, or even broccoli to reap these valuable benefits.
5. Avocados: Many shampoos and hair treatments contain avocado as one of their main ingredients. That's because using avocado can repair damaged hair, prevent hair loss, and even promote hair growth! But eating this fruit (yes, avocado is a fruit!) can be good for your hair, too. Avocados are rich in numerous nutrients, particularly vitamins B and E, which are important for keeping hair strong and preventing hair loss. Known as a superfood, avocados are also rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, vitamin C, K, and folate.
Another way to boost your hair's natural luster? Being pregnant! That's because, during pregnancy, the growth/rest cycle of your hair is slowed down, and less hair is falling out than normal. Unfortunately, after you have that baby, your gorgeous, shiny hair will start to fall out (oh, the joys of motherhood). All the more important to boost your hair's luster with the foods mentioned above. Not only will you have healthy hair, you'll have a healthier body too.

The Hand of God
Back to Bellevue
Found myself once again in Beautiful Bellevue, Washington this week. Love that place. Had a bit of a chance to go out and shoot. Despite all the color that city has to offer these ones ended up all in black and white.
The sky merging into one of the many steel-and-glass facades downtown caught my eye. Took a few shots and this one offered the best continuity of the clouds into their reflection.

Bridge Over Troubled Waters
This was captured at the Perimeter Highway, with the Red River cresting and flood waters moving extremely fast towards the north. It didn't turn out as I was hoping as there were few clouds in the sky, but I like the color nevertheless. A 10-stop ND filter slowed the exposure down to 51 seconds, resulting in silky smooth waters and some movement in the clouds.
I tried another approach last month, at that point opting for a black and white rendition. It offers a very different feel, but you can still get a feel for the water's momentum.

Returning home from a trip and couldn't help but stopping to capture the setting sun against the horizon, lighting the rails of the track with a train (well distant) at the horizon.

waldo22 Wrote:@miamiwice,
I think I'm mis-communicating this somehow.
The only device that was serial in the past is the controlling module (X-10 firecracker for example) that you send the commands to in order to get it to relay those commands to the other modules that you want to control.
The X-10 modules don't communicate with each other using the RS-232 protocol, they use the X-10 protocol. I guess I don't understand what you mean. The only adapter that is serial (RS-232) is the one that you send commands to via your computer. I think we both understand this, right?
Again, I don't really understand what you mean. I'm sure a lot of people have serial control modules, but it's just one module, not a whole house of modules that would have to be replaced...
The Insteon 2412N that I keep mentioning uses TCP for control. (well, it uses a web page, so you send commands to it over http.)
I think we both understand that, too.
The point is that the Insteon device supports both Insteon modules AND all devices that use the older X-10 protocol.
Therefore, all you have to do is replace ONE adapter, the serial control module, with the new http Insteon module, and you're done. Now your "installed base" is http instead of serial.
I guess what I'm saying is, if your home automation uses the X-10 protocol or the Insteon protocol, you need to spend $120 and buy this adapter, and we can make it work easy as pie.
If you're concerned that the people who have serial control modules don't want to spend $120 on ONE module that could do all of this, I think you're mistaken.
It will just be too much work to control an RS-232 controller via a computer when all you have to do is send http data to this new device, and you have backwards compatibility with all of your old X-10 devices.
I understand totally what youre saying, i know all you have to do is replace the serial with a tcp module. But there are more than just x10. X10 is an older technology. There are newer powerline technologies available, such as UPB thats WAY more reliable and has a stronger signal. When implementing whole house lighting control, almost every house has a place or 2 x10 wont make it to. There are others also. I know in several houses where x10 wouldnt work on several lights and outlets, even when using phase couplers, and trying to rewire the switches, etc. so UPB switches were put in and worked flawlessly. I was just thinking of having the option for every available lighting control technology out there. I agree the insteon should be supported, tcp is the way to go, , and everything will use tcp modules in the future, but most people that use lighting control in a whole house way has some sort of home automation system controlling it. Unless its a fairly new system, it wont have the tcp communications. Personally for me tcp is fine, and thats what i use. I just said it thought it would be nice to use serial also, as to be backwards compatible with the largest install base out there. Open it up for more folks. also with serial there are many tvs, AV receivers, video matrix switches out there that take serial commands only. If it sent a serial string out, you could have it turn on your tv, set it to the right input, turn on your receiver to the right input when you send a play command. Just my 2 cents. I know its hard and probably wont happen, but it would be nice to have. I hope the insteon things gets worked out soon, im looking orward to that.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has privately instructed the more politically vulnerable Democratic members to not address "controversial" bills in 2010 unless the Senate acts first. This would include such issues as "don't ask, don't tell," immigration reform, and partner benefits for gay federal employees.
Pelosi has decided to shift gears for the 2010 election to help avoid any further action that might put the Democratic majority at risk.
According to The Hill:
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), the president of the freshman class, said that Pelosi came to last Wednesday's freshman breakfast to deliver that message, and that it was met with wide spread approval.
"I think freshmen, particularly, are not enamored of the idea of being asked to walk the plank on a controversial item if the Senate is not going to take any action," Connolly said.

Muritala thanked the students for their peaceful conduct before, during and after the election.
The NAOSS outgoing President, Comrade Adeyemi Idris, congratulated the new President on his victory at the poll, emphasising that his dream of having a free, fair peaceful and credible ONSU election has been achieved.
According to him, his administration has set a good precedence that subsequent administrations should follow.
Adeyemi also appreciated the entire delegates for their peaceful conduct throughout the exercise.
Speaking some minutes after he was declared winner of the election, the new President of ONSU, Comrade Gbadebo, a student of Ekiti State University (EKSU) who stormed the Ataoja Palace with his supporters expressed his gratitude to all the delegates for giving him the opportunity and privilege to serve.
He promised that during his tenure the association would witness positive and effective change, noting that he was ready to use the mandate given to him to bring a difference.
The new President also promised to work with his co-contestants to move the association to a greater height.
Also speaking, Mr. Olaitan Asimiyu , an observer who spoke on behalf of other observers expressed satisfaction with the peaceful way the election was conducted and challenged politicians to emulate the poll, explaining that the election was "devoid of rancour, fighting and abusive words".
The new executives will run the affairs of the apex students' association for the next one year.
The election was conducted under the close supervision of the security personnel as well as electoral observers.

Cooler Master GeminII S524 CPU Cooler Review (Page 5)
Accessories and Documentation
As far as the mounting hardware goes, Cooler Master has this four piece kit of brackets and plates. In the middle are the universal back plate at the top, with plastic isolation material on both sides of the plate and the AMD mounting plate that can be installed in both directions. On both sides are the Intel mounting legs that have bolts that slide into position for the various sockets it supports.
Along with the plates and mounting setups, there is this hardware as well. You receive a little syringe of thermal paste, a socket to drive the nuts onto the mounting legs with the use of a screwdriver. The rubber rings are used to protect the motherboard and the four little screws are used to mount the AMD or Intel mounting to the S524.
The instruction manuals are very thorough. It starts with a detailed parts list so you can verify you have everything you need to get this installed on a motherboard. The step by step instructions have good images to help explain the text and will solve any issues you may run into. Along with the English version that is unfolded, there is a full set of multi-lingual instructions shipped inside as well.
Part of the hardware included in that slim white box is this universal mounting back plate. This is covered in plastic on this side over the Intel mounting, and the other is covered for AMD mounting. This way it is easy to tell which way the plate is installed on each type, as you want the plastic against the motherboard in either installation.
Since I already had the fan off so we could get a look at the top of the cooler, I took an image of the sticker on the fan so that you can not only get another look at the shape of the blades, but you can also read the part number and see the power specifications.

Cinedigm has acquired Alpine Labs' hybrid competition reality series Fight of the Living Dead, the first original series acquisition for Con TV, Cinedigm's direct-to-consumer, streaming network targeting Comic Con and pop culture fans. The announcement was made today by Cinedigm executive vice president/digital networks Erick Opeka and Alpine Labs co-founder Kevin Abrams and partner Jamie Denenberg.
Fight of the Living Dead is an unprecedented mash-up of the reality and scripted genres. The show follows nine top YouTube stars as they attempt to survive the first 24 hours of a simulated zombie apocalypse. Contestants face challenges in an attempt to eliminate each other from the competition while trying to survive the undead's relentlessly grisly, and frighteningly realistic onslaught. The series is a groundbreaking case study in transitioning YouTube stars into the larger media landscape by leveraging the massive digital reach of each cast member as well as the subscriber base of the most watched genre channel on YouTube, BlackBoxTV, which recently partnered with Alpine Labs. With a potential launch viewership base of more than 10 million subscribers, the program is well positioned to take full advantage of all avenues of distribution.
Launching in late 2014, Con TV will feature additional original series like Fight of the Living Dead as well as movies and TV series from Cinedigm's library of over 52,000 titles, live events and panels filmed at conventions year round. The channel is a partnership between Cinedigm and Wizard World, the largest producer of Comic Con and pop culture events nationally.
Fight of the Living Dead is produced by Alpine Labs and Revolver Picture Company; Alpine's Kevin Abrams, Jamie Denenberg, BlackBoxTV's Tony E. Valenzuela, and Aaron Lewis are executive producers, Revolver's Nick Phillips and Kelly Martin Wagner are co-executive producers.
"We think Fight of the Living Dead is a killer concept," says Cinedigm's Opeka. "The series is a brilliant way to kick-off Con TV's original programming roster and introduce this innovative crop of talent to new audiences."
"Alpine Labs' continuing goal is to find new and exciting ways to challenge conventional entertainment models of production and distribution," says Alpine's Abrams. "Being in business with a creative, forward-thinking, entrepreneurially oriented powerhouse like Cinedigm is for us a match made in zombie heaven."

Forgot to mention this the other day: congratulations to Danica Patrick for becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar race.
Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, it's more of the same: "Saudi driving ban on women extends to golf carts"
Saudi Arabia's longstanding ban on female drivers went an extra mile this week when women were barred from using golf carts to move around a cultural festival, according to Saudi newspapers.Awesomest clash of cultures ever.
Men were permitted to use carts during the first 12 days of the Janadriya Heritage and Cultural Festival when only male visitors are allowed to attend, but the carts were withdrawn during the last three days which are reserved for women.

Are company help desks being too helpful?
A recent survey of more than 900 IT professionals found that enterprise help desks— an important troubleshooting resource for employees and customers alike — are a popular target for hackers seeking access to a company's sensitive data.
The 2013 Help Desk Security and Privacy Survey, conducted by the Internet security training company SANS, found that in businesses of every size, regardless of industry, help desk personnel are proving to be easy prey for social engineering attacks.
Trust me, I need help
Social engineering, also known as pretexting or phishing, is a targeted attack on an individual or a business by a malicious third party.
In these types of attacks, the "engineer" pretends to be someone else in an attempt to fraudulently obtain private information about a person or company — anything from https://www.businessnewsdaily.com to Social Security numbers to corporate documents.
Recently, many social engineering attackers have turned to going through company help desks to gain access to sensitive information.
Help desks are responsible for resetting passwords, restoring email access and troubleshooting connectivity issues — all of which would be useful to an intruder.
But before a caller to the help desk can get help resetting a password, for example, he or she must first pass the help desk operator's identity-verification measures.
These security measures — which typically include questions about an employee's name, location, email address or employee ID — are what social engineers find so easy to circumvent.
Once an attacker has circumvented this first layer of security, he or she can gain access to more sensitive data, such as the information contained in an email.
"As help desks are ordered to help, they are ripe for others who want to take advantage of their mission," according to the SANS survey. "For decades, the help desk has been a backdoor to enterprise network resources through social engineering."
Dial-in is the new hack
In recent years, social engineering attacks have often occurred via email campaigns or on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Attacks on help desks mark a return to a more dated brand of social engineering: attacks via telephone.
[See also: https://www.businessnewsdaily.com]
But as one survey respondent noted, social-engineering attacks carried out via telephone can become even more dangerous in the age of social networking.
Sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn can put "private" information in untrustworthy hands and give social engineers even more ammunition with which to lead attacks on help desks.
For example, a social engineer wishing to pose as an employee may simply have to find that person on Facebook or LinkedIn to find out his or her location, email address or telephone number, all of which are common credentials used for verification at help desks.
Lagging behind the times
It's not just that social engineers are having an easier time mounting attacks; help desk employees are also having a harder time https://www.businessnewsdaily.com.
Pressure to resolve as many calls as possible in the shortest amount of time forces many help desk employees to cut corners when it comes to security protocol, the report said.
Despite the fact that the majority of the 900 IT professional surveyed for the study identified social engineering as a chief area of concern for possible compromises of the help desk, many organizations still prefer to rely on human help desks instead of automated tools.
Even password resets and status checks, two common help desk services that could easily be automated, often continue to rely on human help.
Furthermore, in the age of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), it's harder than ever for help desk staff to verify that an employee is really who he or she claims to be.
Employee use of personal cellphones in lieu of desk phones means that the name and location method of verification, which is still the most common type of verification amongst enterprise help desks, is increasingly ineffective.
The SANS survey suggested that increased automation of help desk services might be the key to reducing some of the vulnerabilities that lead to security breaches and the theft of personally identifiable information.
Respondents to the survey also stated that more training regarding this issue, as well as more high-tech verification methods, could prove useful in stemming social engineering attacks on enterprise help desks.

When Bruce Banner gets angry, he turns into the Hulk, a big, green super steroid monster that smashes and destroys until he's spent.
When I'm debt free and the sun is shining and my money is, for the most part, my own, I turn into Shopper Girl who checks in on stores, looks at bargains online and buys new little trinkets until her money is spent.
Yesterday I bought a cute pair of green flats (they were on sale!) to go with my cute kelly green shirt I bought at Banana Republic over the weekend. And then wore the little yellow earrings I got from Target (they were just $5, come on!), which also happened to look fabulous with my purple shrunken cardigan (also from BR and also on sale) that I wore with my yellow tank top and wide leg jeans. I'm the stunna I tells ya! Oh yeah, and the other day I ordered some hot to death seersucker pants from Anthropologie, even though they didn't have my size in tall. I figured the size down could still fit... and they were on SALE!
HELP! I think I've been invaded by body snatchers! Those are NOT words that could be coming out of my mouth. On Sale? Since when do I give a crap!? I'm always going off on people who justify their unnecessary purchases because they were "on sale." If you buy an antique, ivory back scratcher for 50 cents when it's normally $1,000, you still lost 50 cents because what the heck do you need that for anyway?!
The thing that kills me is that I never was a shopper. I used to tell people that I hated shopping and when I did shop, I shopped like a man: "Need this. Right size. Right color. I take it. *Grunt* No more need for clothes." Then I'd scratch myself.
I don't think I need an intervention just yet, but who wants to get to the point where they need any intervention!? That's about two minutes to too damn late in my book. I don't ever want to get to too damn late again in my life.
I'm fine now. I'm not going in the red. I don't owe anybody and won't even after I get my Anthropologie pants, but I just don't want to undo in a matter of months all the discipline I spent two years building up.
Maybe I just need to get it out of my system.
Maybe I need to stop dilly dallying and set up some S.M.A.R.T. goals so that my money is going where it needs to automatically and, thus, not available for me to just spend on whatever.
Lord, I need counseling :-)
Happy Friday!

Pregnancy can be really annoying, notably for the primary time moms. Most basic being pregnant signs don't begin until one or two weeks after conception on the very earliest. I'm certain you recognize what I'll say, but the only method you are going to know for sure is to take a being pregnant test. Being pregnant and different situations that involve hormonal modifications might cause the breasts to develop lumps. So, you would possibly study meditation methods in a being pregnant yoga class or any books, surfing the Web could provide help to.
It's not arduous to grasp why women undergo such stress during being pregnant. Those who have proteinuria, hyperthyroidism, or are postmenopausal may have false positive results so they should search different methods to find out pregnancy. Ballottement isn't a a hundred% sure signal of pregnancy because cervical or uterine polyps (clump of benign cells) may bounce when tapped.
I cherished reading it. I did not know we may expertise so many pregnancy symptoms inside the first month, like decrease again pain. The hormone also causes the preparation of a uterine lining for a doable being pregnant. Some methods to scale back stress in being pregnant are for the pregnant mom to chill out often and avoid worrying situations.

Farsi - Parsi - Booms!
Week 19, Episode 37
It might be that for you, as it was for me, the knowledge about things Persian limits with cats, rugs and the computer game with some fighty prince. You may even know that Persian adopted Arabic script and visually, of course, looks similar to it. But Persian is not Arabic, and some people consider rude this unawareness about how different Arabic and Persian really are.
What came first, Arabic or Persian? And what Farsi has to do with all of it? In order to avoid embarrassment and hurting somebody's feelings, let's learn several important facts about the Persian language:
Texts written in Arabic (on the left) and in Persian (on the right)
As you see, though it looks Arabic, it sounds Persian. And not only pronunciation is different. These two languages originate in different families: Arabic is a Semitic language, like Hebrew, for example, while Persian is Indo-European, like English. They say it is easier to an English speaking person to learn Farsi than Arabic—now you can see why ;)
Doesn't it amaze you how the language that appeared about 12 centuries before Arabic was influenced by the latter? I mean, they are so distinct, not even related in any way, and yet to the eye they seem almost brothers. What a trick! Farsi–Parsi–Booms!
Now that you know that they're not, I invite you to go deeper into Farsi as the magic continues...

10 Amazing, Emerging Advances in Medical Technology
February 16th, 2011
Regardless of whether or not they fully enjoy or understand the science, everyone should put forth at least a modicum of effort to follow the latest medical technology news and views. Amazing things evolve every day to make life so much easier for patients and doctors alike, and understanding what they are and how they work sheds considerable light on what can be done to ailing friends, family and ourselves. Many more beautiful bits of research and development have emerged lately than just the ones listed here. Be sure to check those out in order to get a much broader picture of the stunning scientific applications headed in humanity's direction.
Faster MRIs: A Science Daily article excitedly reports that neuroscientists and physicists with Oxford University, University of California, Berkeley and University of Minnesota have developed new brain scans performing up to 7 times faster than their predecessors. These MRIs render a complete 3D image of the brain in less than half a second. Previously, it took between 2 and 3 seconds. Such a major achievement assists neuroscientists and doctors needing to find dangerous but difficult to find brain phenomena. Physicist David Feinberg refers to the essential organ as a "moving target" — a phrase many unfamiliar with human physiology may find puzzling. But for medical professionals, lessening the amount of time it takes to map the brain means more opportunities to figure out how its more mysterious, fleeting components work.
Water fleas as human test subjects: Water fleas, also known as Daphnia pulex, boast the highest amount of genes than any other animal. Yes, that includes humans. But a Science article from February 3, 2011 revealed an even more startling fact — these extremely common, oft-studied little arthropods share more genes with people than any other species in their phylum. From both an environmental and a public health perspective, this discovery can help scientists better understand the impact certain chemicals have on nature and the body alike. While there's obviously going to be many genetic divergences, scientist believe these humble little creatures will play an integral role in toxicology tests beneficial to the overall safety and well-being of many different organisms.
Stopping organ failure before it starts: Universidad Carlos III de Madrid developers and researchers have discovered an amazing strategy for scanning cells all the way down at the molecular level. The wondrous device, tested at the Gregorio Maranon Hospital, uses molecular imaging to explore erratic and potentially erratic cell behavior, allowing doctors an amazing advantage when it comes to diagnosing organ failure and other malfunctions. When caught quickly enough, these unfortunate circumstances can actually be partially or fully addressed before causing serious health and physiological damage. In addition, this new biomedical miracle also holds the potential to help professionals develop stronger, more effective medications fighting diseases and debilitating conditions right where they begin. Juan Jose Vaquero and Manuel Desco head up the thoroughly awesome team and its efforts to patent such a revolutionary piece of machinery.
"The YouTube Cure": Scientific American discusses the story of Paolo Zamboni — a neurosurgeon with the single greatest last name in history — and the highly controversial role social media played in finding him subjects for experimental surgery. He developed a method to relieve some of the horrid pain associated with MS using inflated balloons on twisted neck nerves, but needed to perform the procedure multiple times to ensure its validity. News of Zamboni's theories hit the internet before his article in the Journal of Vascular Surgery was even released, and hospitals and individual patients the world over scrambled to participate. Harnessing social media in such a fashion, however, can easily prove just as dangerous and detrimental to a patient's health as it does beneficial. While Zamboni is a legitimate, albeit oft-questioned, professional genuinely hoping to help MS patients, no filters exist for preventing abuse. Individuals and groups both in- and outside the medical field harboring either malicious intent or questionable competence are more than capable of preying off patients' desperation for a solution. "The YouTube Cure" still exists on the fringes of medical science, but time will reveal whether or not it proves a worthwhile strategy.
Magnetic molecules: Rainer Herges at Kiel University and his team of chemists devised a brilliant method for manipulating the magnetism of molecules at room temperature. Referred to as "function by switching," this practice involves a machine akin to a tiny record player, constructed of nickel ion, a pigment ring surrounding it and a suspended nitrogen atom. Irradiation with a blue-green light source launches the nickel ion and nitrogen atom to interact in a manner causing the former to end up magnetized. Herges' crew is enthusiastic about potential medical applications, including accurate temperatures gauging, 3D renderings of biochemical phenomena and pH balances. When magnetic salts are introduced as contrast agents, the developers believe their technique could illuminate different metabolic events, localize inflammations and even check for tumors.
Bioengineered blood vessels: Right now, many scientists and medical professionals see some exciting promise in Shannon Dahl's biotech work with Humacyte. Donor cells stuffed into polyglycolic acid scaffolds are placed in a bioreactor, resulting in collagen constructs resembling blood vessels. In addition, the risk of a patient's body rejecting such implants is greatly minimized as well. Though currently in nascent stages, Dahl's developments mean some amazing, revolutionary things for patients and doctors with various arterial diseases and conditions. Even after refrigeration for years, the tubes still function in a similar manner to organic veins, arteries and capillaries. Transplants involving artificial polytetraflourethylene replacements oftentimes require repair or replacement after 10 months, making this awe-inducing research all the more attractive and optimistic.
The STEM microscope: fMRIs and PET scans are great for picking up major brain damages, injuries and disorders, but not so much for more subtle issues involving chemical imbalances and communication breakdowns. Enter the stunning STEM microscope. A creation of UCLA physicists and neuroscientists, this amazing device records neuron activity in real time. Medical professionals working with schizophrenia, mental retardation, the autism spectrum and other conditions can harness the STEM microscope to better understand exactly how they operate. This leads to sturdier diagnoses and — maybe someday — stronger medications and even cures. At the moment, it can take around 250 pictures per second and provide a fully 3D view of the brain, and professors Katsushi Arisaka, Carlos Portera-Cailliau and their team are working to make it run much faster.
Further blurring man and machine: At this point, it's become more than a touch cliche to compare current medical technology advances with science fiction tropes past, though such a mindset is exceptionally apt in many cases. This, of course, is one of them. In his book Beyond Boundaries: The New Neuroscience of Connecting Brains with Machines — and How It Will Change Our Lives, neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis takes what was once purely cyberpunk speculation and outlines today's very real sciences that will flip them into reality. He sincerely believes that mankind sits on the brink of linking the body directly to more sophisticated prosthetics — a dramatic boon for amputees, the paralyzed, individuals with organ failure and others afflicted by similar conditions. From there, Nicoleis visualizes a day when science will allow for complete brain uploads granting functional immortality and a solution for Alzheimer's and dementia patients. And, of course, the obligatory "much more."
Kinder, gentler biopsies: At Michigan State, scientists and researchers are painstakingly working on laser technology to render biopsy procedures as painless and noninvasive as possible. Marcos Dantus and Sunney Xie are currently developing a method of scanning moles and other potentially cancerous growths using laser microscopes. They work by sending out quick pulses towards afflicted spots, adjusting themselves to react to and using various compounds. For patients concerned about skin cancer risk and potential, this saves them painful time underneath a knife — not to mention the hand-wringing involved when waiting for tests to come back. Medical professionals involved with pharmacology also benefit from such advances as well. Depending on the laser microscope's calibration, it's capable of exploring how drugs penetrate skin and hair — excellent news when developing the most effective drugs they can.
Wireless heart monitors: When hospitals began experimenting with implanting electromechanical pressure sensors in their cardiac patients, they noticed a 30% decrease in readmissions. These wireless heart monitors, researched and created by CardioMEMS, relay arterial signals to doctors and greatly assist them in keeping track of all sorts of factors — making it an indispensable preventative tool. It works by using pressure-sensitive sensors to constantly maintain vigil over the pulmonary artery using electromechanical dynamics. Data is sent directly to physicians and surgeons, who can read cardiac activity remotely and detect possible problems before things get cataclysmic. They're also able to make more effective judgments when it comes to writing up prescriptions, and none of the parties involved have to deal with painful, sometimes problematic catheters. As mentioned earlier, early runs have proven incredibly positive in keeping many heart patients from relapsing and succumbing to the issues initially sending them to the hospital.

Improved Access at Hospital Point Lighthouse
New England lighthouse buffs know Hospital Point Light Station in Beverly, Mass., as the home of the admiral in charge of the First Coast Guard District. Because this has been the case since the 1940s, public access to this station has been very limited. For years, the public has been able to visit the lighthouse on one day each year, during Beverly Homecoming Week.
There's wonderful news in today's edition of the Salem News. Rear Admiral Dale Gabel, the station's current resident, has agreed to make the station more accessible to the public by allowing Coast Guard Auxiliary to provide tours. Details aren't available yet, but the lighthouse might be opened as often as one day each month.
"We think it's one of the crown jewels of Beverly," said Phil Karwowski of the Auxiliary. "It's one of the big things in Beverly's maritime heritage." I couldn't agree more!
Bravo to the Coast Guard Auxiliary and Admiral Gabel. Thanks to them, the public will have the opportunity to experience one of the most beautiful light stations in New England, up close and personal.
Here's a quick historic side note on Hospital Point. During the presidency of William Howard Taft (1909–12), a large home at Woodbury Point, on the shore between Hospital Point and Beverly Cove, became the summer White House. A newspaper item of August 24, 1909, reported that the president's son Charley—about 12 years old at the time—had visited the lighthouse: "He climbed the lighthouse in order to look out on to the water and when he reached the top he complained of being sick. The little fellow was assisted to the ground floor . . . and he felt much better."

Federal Security Interests 1999
1999 Winnipeg MB
Federal Security Interests
Roderick A. Macdonald
[1] Following the Annual Meeting of the ULCC at Halifax in 1998, Doug Moen, as Director of the Commercial Law Strategy, and Roderick Macdonald, President of the Law Commission of Canada, commenced discussions about the possible involvement of the Law Commission in contributing to projects under the Commercial Law Strategy. Bradley Crawford, Q.C., a member of the Advisory Council of the Law Commission had earlier suggested that the Law Commission might undertake a project to examine the area of federal security interests.
[2] These discussions led to the Law Commission making a proposal to undertake a study of federal security interests. Arthur Close, Q.C. was asked to act on behalf of the ULCC in exploring the development of a project of this nature with the Law Commission of Canada. During the first few months of 1999, Messrs Macdonald and Close developed a list of various basic issues for consideration by the Law Commission. A decision to proceed with a preliminary investigation of federal security interests was also taken at this time and approved by the Law Commission at its June meeting.
[3] It was agreed to begin with two preliminary steps. First, the Law Commission would engage a constitutional law scholar -- in the instance Professor Stephen A. Scott of McGill University -- to prepare a summary opinion letter as to the constitutional jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada to create and to enforce security interests. Second, it was decided that, once this first opinion was received, a small number of persons interested in federal security interests would be invited to a meeting in Toronto for the purpose of considering whether the project merited further development.
[4] Professor Scott's views may be summarized as follows. The Parliament of Canada had a broad scope to create both consensual and non-consensual security interests, and has already done so. The Parliament of Canada also has a broad jurisdiction to legislate so as to incorporate international security interests set out in treaties. In a number of domains, Parliament may not only authorize persons to grant certain forms of security over their property to others, but may also grant certain institutions or organizations the power to take various kinds of security interest in the property of others. Through a number of devices not primarily developed for the purpose of creating a security interest, Parliament has also created a large number of interests in property that today function as security. Finally, the constitutional authority of the Parliament is, in theory, quite extensive, but as in other domains, the likelihood of the courts upholding this federal authority would no doubt be inversely proportional to the scope of its purported exercise.
[5] On June 24, 1999 a meeting was held in Toronto to consider whether the Law Commission of Canada should pursue this initiative further. A number of scholars, practitioners, industry representatives and federal justice department officials were invited to the meeting. In all ten persons were able to attend. The objects of the meeting were (assuming the consensus view were to proceed): (i) to assist the Law Commission of Canada in determining how it might most effectively proceed with developing a "federal security interests" project; (ii) to identify the most fruitful lines of inquiry to undertake; (iii) to identify who should be others players invited to serve on a Study Panel for the project; and (iv) to identify the names of those who should be contacted with a view to engaging them to undertake necessary background work.
[6] At this meeting, two general types of substantive question were considered: (i) the scope of federal jurisdiction in theory; (ii) the dimensions of federal jurisdiction in actual practice. Prior to addressing these questions some preliminary issues were raised. The Law Commission was asked whether it had already taken a position of the need to create a uniform federal security interest -- to which a negative answer was given. The Law Commission was also asked whether it had taken a position on the need for the Parliament of Canada to maintain a presence in these fields. Again the Law Commission indicated that it had not taken any positions on the issue.
[7] First, as to the scope of federal jurisdiction in theory, the meeting considered: (i) What is a federal security interest as a matter of constitutional law? (ii) What is the scope of the jurisdiction of the federal Parliament either to create such interests or to sign on to international conventions creating such interests? (iii) What is a federal security interest as a matter of commercial law? (iv) In addition to statutes like the Bank Act and maritime legislation that appear expressly to create security interests, are there other statutes that creates legal devices that function (or can be deployed to function) as security? (vi) What, if anything, is the consequence of old doctrines like crown immunity and interjurisdictional immunity when they are applied to agencies, crown corporations and other federal governmental entities that seek to give (or to take) security?
[8] As to the dimensions of federal jurisdiction in practice, the questions considered were: (i) Is there a case for rationalizing and modernizing these diverse federal security interests among themselves? (ii) Substantively the questions are, for example, can banks, railways, shippers, and airlines actually find a common ground? (iii) If so, should Article 9 and the "substance of the transaction rule" be enacted as the central motif in the federal field? (iv) What can be done to achieve a better integration of provincial and federal interests? Can registries be made compatible? Should there be separate federal registries at all? (v) Is concern about federal security interests a false problem? Would it be better simply to resolve all these problems of harmonization and integration through extensive amendments to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act?
[9] After discussion, the meeting agreed on the following framework as a checklist of topics that should be included in any overall study document of federal security interests. Six different types of topic area were proposed.
A. Security Interests Arising in the Context of Federally Regulated Enterprises: maritime law; federal railways; banks; aeronautics; etc.
B. Security Interests in Types of Property Created by Federal Legislation: patents; trademarks; copyrights; integrated circuit typography; etc.
C. Security Interests in Federal Property: federal enclaves such as parks, military bases, etc.; off-shore federal territory; federal personal property
D. Security Interests Arising in the Context of the Federal Power Over Indians and Lands Reserved to Indians: land; personal property; intellectual property
E. Non-Consensual Federal Security Interests: federal tax and other claims, whether charges, liens or deemed trusts; federally created non-consensual interests created in favour of persons other than the federal Crown
F. Bankruptcy Issues
[10] Once this inventory of potential topics had been developed the discussion turned to considering what the next steps should be. The President of the Law Commission offered to prepare a summary of the meeting, forwarding it to all invitees. He also undertook to contact experts with a view to determining how best to launch and manage the needed research studies. Finally the President was charged with assembling a list of persons who might be invited to sit on a Study Panel to oversee the development and execution of the project.
[11] It was felt that as a first stage in project development two main research projects should be undertaken. One would involve a detailed study of existing federal security interests, grouped according to the framework just identified. The second would involve a detailed review of the constitutional authority of the Parliament of Canada to enact its own legislation or to adopt international conventions relating to security interests. Those present felt that the entire project would probably take somewhere in the range of 2 1/2 to 3 years to complete, with the first two pieces of research being completed by the summer of 2000.

Q. I know the post-season doesn't give you much time to reflect, I was just curious if you had time to think back last night, if anything surprised you more than anything else?
JOE TORRE: Any time you come in and you score 19 runs in a post-season game it's a surprise. Again, I've been on the other side of that thing, too, and even in post-season. I think Arizona just killed us a game or two and the Braves did it back in '96. You realize how it can happen. Just get on one of those rolls where everybody seems relaxed swinging the bat and our top half of the batting order was incredible last night. Again, I was just taking downstairs to our local guys, and you know, it's something that you allow yourself to enjoy from the time you leave here last night to the time you go to sleep, and then once you wake up you realize you have another game to win. Last night, and considering how many times we play each other, yeah, especially in this ballpark, it's a surprise that we won by such a score.
Q. Why have you been able to have some success over the years against Lowe?
JOE TORRE: Well, it has not always been that way. I remember Derek pitching some games against us that have been -- he shut us down completely. It's all about location and being able to do what you need to do with your pitches. We're pretty patient. And hopefully, we're patient tonight and I think because Lowe isn't a power pitcher, and he more or less moves the ball around and command and control is a big part of it. Just hopefully we can exhibit the patience tonight that we've exhibited in the first three games.
Q. This may be hard for you to quantify and I'm not going to suggest that you might win tonight, but you guys are undefeated in LCS play; do you have any explanation for the success you have in this particular round in the playoffs?
JOE TORRE: No, but I've noticed that, too. (Laughter.) You know, we were beaten by Cleveland in '97 and the Angels beat us. Believe me, when you get all pumped up and you win the division, then all of a sudden you're out of it, it's such a weird feeling. And I don't know what the reason is but we have had success. We've gotten ahead in some series, you know,3-0 like we are now, and we've been able to close the deal. I think it's important, we always emphasize, that you never, even though a lot of people are writing the Red Sox off or whoever we happen to be playing at the time, you know, clubs are capable of putting wins together. And the short series scares the hell out of me -- and when I say short series, whether it's three or five, because it's such an emotional time of year, and momentum can switch so quickly. So we're pretty business businesslike right now and hopefully we can continue to do that. We've got some guys that, I don't want to say came together, because they have been together for most of the year, but as far as -- they are hot right now. And again, hopefully we can do it one more time.
Q. Can you think of a time when you've seen a lot of emotion from Matsui? It seems like he doesn't really show it, ever.
JOE TORRE: You know, you really don't get -- he has a lot of fun. He has a sense of humor. The guys love him to death. But you're right, I think the last at-bat he had last night, we had a nine-run lead and he gets up there and he's just locked in and has the at-bat he has against the left-hand pitcher. It's something that he's very special, and what's been interesting is watching him get here last year, and get so -- get better as he went along, first half of last year, last half of last year, and this year just with the experience of the year under his belt to watch him just take certain liberties, where it looks like he could maybe drive the ball a little bit. Last year I think he was more of a contact-type hitter, and I think this year after experiencing some of the pitchers here, he just felt that he could do certain things.
Q. How do you guard against a possible letdown?
JOE TORRE: Well, that's what we -- that's the most important thing, there's no question. You don't get credit for the big Victory last night, you don't get up there today and have a four-run lead all of a sudden. It's still 0-0 and you know that anything can happen. But I just think the experience of a lot of guys on our ballclub, and as I said, the businesslike attitude and approach, understand that you have to win four games. You know, our goal is to win every single game, and so far in this series, we've been successful at doing that. I mean, we certainly could not have visualized that, but now that we are here, I think we have to think in terms of last night's game and the two previous games, just working more for our confidence as opposed to our being overconfident.
Q. If you have some early problems out of Duque tonight, if he's only going to go one or two possibly, would you consider bringing in Moose to close the deal or would you go with Sturtze?
JOE TORRE: You know, I think the game will dictate who we use. But I don't -- I don't see Moose being in this game tonight. I really don't. I was kicking myself in the rear end in Minnesota on that Game 4 because we had sent him home without the off-day we wanted in Game 5 and then when we had a tie game in the ninth inning, tenth inning, I said, oh, I wish we had this guy to win a two-inning game, as opposed to a nine-inning game. I don't see Moose in this game. If we got in trouble, early, you're right, Sturtze would be a possibility. Loaiza would be another possibility.
Q. Are you confident in what you and Mel have seen in the pitching stretch, mirroring the quality of his stretch with the Yankees?
JOE TORRE: Yes, and again, I don't know how successful he's going to be but I'm pretty comfortable with the fact that he'll be able to pitch. The last time we sent him out there, it was the Friday before the season was over against Toronto. He didn't pitch very well, didn't throw very well. We sort of forced him to pitch. And when I say "forced him to pitch," we said, you know, we'd like to see you pitch before we can really schedule you for the post-season. So he went out there and, you know, pitched a few innings, didn't throw very many balls hard and told us how his arm felt flat, dead and whatever. We feel that since he's been so honest and, as I say, I didn't see him when he tried to throw and had problems. And again, it wasn't pain. He didn't have any discomfort. It was just it felt like it was dead. But I did see him last Monday and Mel, you know, certainly saw a step up last Monday and then felt comfortable again on Wednesday when he threw another bullpen.
Q. Have you ever for one second, either with your staff or your wife or God forbid with George, speculated on what it would be like to be on the other side of this rivalry, knowing the history of both sides as you do?
JOE TORRE: Well, being on the other side of this rivalry, at least going to the ballpark in this town, I wouldn't see all of those digits, I guess. (Laughter.) They are two passionate clubs. I know the Yankees have had far more success in recent years. The Red Sox early on won World Series but, you know, I remember -- when you think back to the Yankee managers and the most recent for me, Ralph Houk who was here at Yankee Stadium, very respected man. It's something that as a manager, I would not think you'd get caught up in the history of it as much as you do as a fan or reminding the fans, because you have a job to do. I know Zim, I've talked to Zim about being here and managing, he loved it here, he absolutely loved it here, because of the passion. When I was approached by Lou Gorman in '88, I never hesitated because this is one of the original treasures here in Boston. But sometimes it gets ugly. I know that we respect them and hopefully they respect us on the baseball end of it, and it's been wild. I've never been a part of or have been this close to witnessing anything like this, other than as a kid in Brooklyn.
Q. You always talked about Andy Pettitte and his success, no longer having to prove himself, can the same be said for Mussina when he came out of the bullpen?
JOE TORRE: Well, once he did that was similar to when I told Roger Clemens that he didn't have to defend himself anymore; or after he pitched Game 3 in the World Series in 2001 after being down 0-2. It's coming up in a spot that there is -- you either are successful or if you're mediocre, you're not looked at like you're successful. I think when he came in out of the bullpen that night, not only I think people looked at him differently, but I think he had a different feel because he was asked to do something he had never done before, come out of the bullpen. And unbeknownst to me, Mel didn't promise him, but sort of told him he would come in in the middle of an inning; not start an inning. When he told me that later on after we were celebrating, I said, "Well, I guess we lied to you." Certainly, I guess knowing how he handled that let's you trust him a little bit easier, yeah.
Q. Just so you know, you might still see a few digits if you managed here, but I was just curious --
JOE TORRE: I know, Zim used to tell me that when his daughter would go home from the ballpark crying, because of the booing he would take when he would go to the mound.
Q. Any update on John Olerud and will he be in the lineup?
JOE TORRE: No, he's not in the lineup. Clark will hit eighth and play first base. John is not very mobile. He's sore. When I went to first base last night, you know, he said, "The bat hit me and I guess I had not seen the replay, but people who saw the replay said it looked like the bat hit his instep, the left foot. And it's sore. The X-rays were negative. I guess if it's not feeling better in the next day or so, they may do further testing. But he's not available for us today.

The Greatest HBO Shows Of Perpetuity
In the past 10 years or two, HBO, as a network, has actually tipped their video game up. Almost every program they produce is at the really the very least, delightful to view. Several of their programs have gone on to become classics, and also others have merely become good ways to kill a half a hr.
But what have been the best programs on HBO? Here are some of my personal favorites.
The very first show that I think deserves to be discussed is True Blood. This show was released at once when vampires were all the rage, which is quite ludicrous in itself and something I think we will all have the ability to laugh at a few years later on. True Blood makes vampires method cooler compared to any type of Stephanie Meyer unique ever before might however.

The Sopranos is an additional TV collection that is absolutely worthy of appreciation. If you ask most HBO spectators what their preferred show is, you will certainly be most likely to listen to The Sopranos as an answer quite often. The program is gone, but stays in its dedicated followers' hearts.
When it comes to comedy, it is tough to get a show that is funnier than Suppress Your Excitement. Larry David is a true brilliant, and this show follows him as well as his antics around LA. There is absolutely no person else like Larry David.
Although it is not a true program, I discover the 24/7 collection to be unbelievably compelling. This program complies with 2 fighters leading up to their battle. It follows their extensive training, family life and whatever in between. Floyd Mayweather has ended up being a staple on this program by now.

One other series that is definitely worthwhile of conversation is The Cable. Taking place on the mean roads of Baltimore, The Wire is an absolutely incredible program and also is frequently pointed out as some of the very best television around.
It is clear after undergoing HBO's toolbox of shows that they have greater than their reasonable share of strong programs.

Lost and Found: Jewish Women Recovering Tradition, Remaking Themselves This study explores the turn towards stringently observant Orthodox Judaism among lesser observant Jewish women ages late 40s to early 70s residing in a rapidly growing Sunbelt city. It seeks to answer three questions: what is the impulse that inspires such a fundamental life change; what is the process for making that change; and how does that change impact the sense of self, as individuals and within families and communities? It is an ethnographic study that uses a qualitative, modified grounded theory methodology to gather and analyze data, allowing themes to …
