"We never kill except in self-defense. But, if someone
is so stupid as to refuse to open a cash register when he has a gun pointed at
him, then he deserves to die. It is useless for him to try to do something when
an expert thief aims his gun at him. If he cries out, resists, or refuses to
open the cash register he is killed."
Words of Jesse James, American bandit who robbed small
banks, hurting local investors, but built himself a reputation as a confederate
Robin Hood, a champion of the people, who stole from the rich to give to the
poor. A humanitarian killer, no less!
Think of Jesse James as the spirit of the American Empire:
that's what it does. It makes a false-choice offer: hand over the loot or die.
It kills in "self defense" if the defenseless victim finds it
impossible to comply. The prime example of this tactic is Iraq: hand over those
non-existent WMD or we take you out.
"Follow the money," was a motto during the
Watergate scandal. We must do so now. This War on an Abstract Noun, of which
Lebanon is the latest victim, is a cover, calculated to disguise the real
motives of US military global mobilization. It bears repeating. The prize is
wealth beyond the dreams of avarice -- wealth and dominance and reproduction of
the status quo, the unequal distribution of wealth, which is a constant
prescription for endless wars -- and none of it will trickle down to us, though
the blood will and does! As will retribution. Cicero said, "Money is the
sinew of war." Follow it: it is money (a.k.a. capital) that motivates the
targeted death of nations that dot the calendar, with homicidal frequency, of
these days on our earth.
None of this death can be said NOT to have been foretold.
Bush's accomplices have put it in words in countless policy statements
retrievable across the sumptuous, well-funded archives of the reactionary
establishment. We refuse to believe them: they said that this will be the new
American century and it will conquer the world. Unless we believe them, we will
not be able to process or understand (let alone act constructively ) anything
that's happening in the world. We'll be distracted by arguments as
time-consuming and as unproductive as arguing about how many angels can fit on
the head of a pin. We'll be dragged along labyrinths that will lead us to
reinventing the wheel. We will be persuaded, against our certain knowledge,
that the earth is flat. And we will lose our reason and our ability to
safeguard our safety. To escape that fate, we need to refocus on what they
actually SAID they would do: conquer the world.
What is shocking about the Bushes is their bold-faced
proclamations that wars, invasion, abuse of human rights, subordination of the
whole world to their will and way of life are okay. But that's because the
words are in our face.
They used to be hidden behind "covert operations"
organized by the National Security State that Truman installed after WW II,
persuaded by the Mad Hatters and global trotters in the OSS/CIA, led by
servants of wealth like the Dulles brothers, devoted to creating a deficit of
democracy across the world, from which their masters could profit. It was then
that the US decided it would have one government -- tolerant, benevolent,
internationally equitable and balanced -- on view for US people to admire and
another, a secret one behind the mirror -- vicious, subversive,
democracy-hating -- that they knew nothing about. Now the brute force that
festered and plotted in the dark has come into the light. Like the look of the
Medusa, it petrifies us with terror. We are rendered impotent by its ghastly,
blood-stained visage. What can't be true, we say, isn't true.
But it was always there. The victims have seen that dark
face again and again -- from Guatemala to Grenada, from Tonkin to Teheran, from
Hiroshima to Honduras. And beyond. Their victimhood was prescribed by
officialdom immediately after WW II: "We have 50 percent of the world's
wealth but only 6.3 percent of its population. In this situation, our real job
in the coming period . . . is to maintain this position of disparity. To do so,
we have to dispense with all sentimentality . . . we should cease thinking
about human rights, the raising of living standards and democratisation"
(George Kennan, US
strategic planner, 1948).
It is no surprise that Israel, America's attack dog in the
ME, takes its cue from its master. Just as Hamas was proposing a two-state
solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict (implicitly recognizing Israel as
a state), Olmert's cabinet launched its campaign of terror in Gaza, starving,
bombing, and killing Palestinian civilians, a fact graphically witnessed by the
world in the extermination of a Palestinian family picnicking on a Gaza beach.
Quite outrageously for Israel's objectives to deny Palestinians any "right
to exist" (that right exists for the exclusive use of the Israeli state,
apparently). Hamas had made an offer Israel could not accept -- a two-state
solution, which implicitly recognized Israeli nationhood -- for it entailed
ending an illegal occupation of territories whose control it has no intention
of giving up and whose control, moreover, provides limitless occasions to
remind Arab aspirations for national independence that they'd better think
again. Israel has the fourth strongest army in the world -- and it is backed by
Now in Lebanon, Israel is again "defending" itself
-- as it does in Gaza and the West Bank by occupying and serially reinvading
territories that don't belong to it -- and it is defending itself by laying
waste a country that has no military resources to defend itself. Lebanon has a
gun pointed at its head: either disarm Hizballah or we will destroy you. The
US, meanwhile, has a gun pointed at Syria's Assad: either you call off Hizballah,
or . . . you'll see what we'll do to you. Look at Iraq, if you need reminders.
They offer deals that are calculated not only to be refused
but that they know are also impossible to deliver.
Indeed, this aggression on Lebanon is a plan hatched between
the Bush imperial conspirators and their Israeli clients to create the context
and conditions that open the way for a pretext to assault Syria and -- more
importantly -- Iran. That the assault on Lebanon was a plan, is evidenced by
similar Israeli tactical provocations in past wars -- preeminently the 1967
war, characterized by Israeli border provocations against Egypt and Syria.
Today, the target is Iran. To the deluded in the US who think that the US is a
victim of Israeli ambition, they need to wake up. Israel does not move without
the US's say so. When Israel, cut a deal independently with China to supply it
with military hardware, it had its hands slapped in no uncertain terms by the
We are way past the time in this lawless age of imperial
disregard for international law, of corrupt and fraudulent elections, of the
advancing fossilization of the international legal order, of tremendous
transfer of wealth from poor nations to the rich ones, of the internal
"third worldization" of the people of the "first world," of
the transfer of the same people's wealth into private hands, and of the
declared imperial policy of might makes right, to remind ourselves that there
is such a thing as a UN Charter forbidding aggression; that the Palestinian
resistance has all the legitimacy and the Israeli occupation of Palestine has
none; that the US and Israel are "failed states" inasmuch as they are
unable to provide security for their own population and, in fact, that they
open them to terrorist attacks by their actions; that Israel and the US are
terrorist states because they target populations to obtain political ends, and
that they are a threat to global survival with their deliberate recklessness of
We need to remind ourselves, instead, that what we are
living now is a period of appeasement, no less complicit or cowardly or deluded
than the period before WW II when governments and people acquiesced to Hitler's
diet of relentless annexation and aggression. Then, the test of how far the
liberal democracies would go to tolerate the Nazis' all-out plunder and
cannibalization of whole regions came up in the Spanish Civil War. They had a
chance to say: "enough." They didn't, and WW II became inevitable.
Think of Iran -- the true target of this murder of Lebanon
today -- as Spain in 1936. If the US is not stopped, it's over for us, the
people of the world. At a certain point -- too late -- someone with nuclear
capacity, somewhere -- China, Russia -- will say, "enough, we've let them
take way too much." And then, it's curtains for the planet, because though
the Soviet Union bowed out of history without a shot fired, the US, with the
political sophistication and the ideological self-righteousness of a Jesse
James, to whose robber mentality and delusional morality it is heir, will go
down firing the big ones.
There is no time for appeals to moribund institutions like
the UN, the Geneva Conventions, and the rule of law. Our own Congress has
ceased to function for all intents and purposes. The Democratic Party is
entirely complicit in this assault on the world: Iraq was and remains a
But there is something we can do: we can at last find the
courage to believe in the fact that we are many and they are few -- the whole
world opposed the invasion of Iraq, even when their governments sustained it.
Poll after poll shows that entire populations believe, correctly, that the US
and Israel threaten world peace -- not Korea, Iran, or any member of the
invented fantasy of the "axis of evil" -- they fear our government
and the governments of its satrapies worldwide.
We can think of ourselves, ordinary people everywhere, as
"nations" at risk and of our government as a "rogue state."
We, the people of this country and of the world, should declare our opposition
to the anti-human war now being waged by our governments of war -- against ALL
of us. We should stand with those who resist, in solidarity with them because
on their success to check the imperial onslaught rests our own survival.
If we don't understand this truth, we are doomed.
To those who accuse us of anti-Semitism for supporting such
struggles as the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, we say: we have
made a choice to side with those citizens of Israel who oppose the occupation
and who, at the risk of their limbs and liberty, stand for justice in Israel.
Israel is not a monolithic state: it has people who act in the name of peace
and justice. To take their side is not to side with "self-hating
Jews," as their own state's propaganda brands them, but it is to side with
the forces of right, with the forces of empathy, solidarity, and justice. There
is nothing "anti-Semitic" in that. As for Palestinians, Iraqis,
Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians, who resist war and occupation, in siding with them
we side with human rights -- the right to live in their own lands, free from
the boot of occupation.
It's not complex at all. And it's a matter of life and death
-- theirs and ultimately ours.
Jesse James was wrong -- in the end, his own violence killed

When Ian Lipkin chose a career in infectious diseases, he envisioned hunting for pathogens in daring treks around the world. Though disappointed to learn that modern-day virus hunters work largely from the lab, he still wound up a pioneer. At the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, then at the University of California, Irvine, and since 2001 as director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, Lipkin has developed groundbreaking techniques that have helped a new generation of disease detectives sleuth out the infectious roots of mystery ills, chronic disease, and neuropsychiatric disorders like autism and OCD. Lipkin’s signature invention is a technology called Mass Tag PCR, which searches through large numbers of known viral and bacterial genomes to identify a culprit in a few hours. He often complements this test with others, including microbial detection microchips (GreeneChips) and gene sequencers that can complete an exhaustive search for known and unknown pathogens within a tissue sample in less than a day.
When DISCOVER features editor Pamela Weintraub interviewed Lipkin last year, he had to cut his workday short because his dog, Koprowski—a gift from Polish virologist Hilary Koprowski—was desperately sick. Lipkin had a treatment plan: not an antiviral drug or chemotherapy, but red meat. “It has antibiotics, it has growth hormone, it has everything. Koprowski’s my best friend in the world,” he explained before descending into the subway and heading home.
You were in the first class of men at Sarah Lawrence, where you studied anthropology, even shamanism. Yet you are known for hunting pathogens. How did that come about?
I felt that if I went straight into cultural anthropology after college I’d be a parasite. I’d go someplace, take information about myths and ritual, and have nothing to offer. So I decided to become a medical anthropologist and try to bring back traditional medicines. Suddenly I found myself in medical school.
But you didn’t become a medical anthropologist. Instead you studied neurological disease and infection. Why?
By 1977 I had gotten a fellowship at the Institute for Neurology in London, where a professor named John Newsom-Davis was working on myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disorder characterized by weakness often so profound that people lose their ability to breathe. Back then, nobody really understood what the disorder was. John was trying something new, treating it with plasmapheresis.
What is plasmapheresis, and why did Davis think it would help his patients?
Plasmapheresis is a method where you take the blood, put it into a centrifuge, and as you spin it the components separate out. You have white cells and platelets in one area, red cells in another. And then you have plasma, which contains antibodies. You introduce what amounts to a straw to suck up the plasma. You replace plasma with albumin to maintain the blood volume, but now the antibodies are gone. With the antibodies gone, the symptoms are relieved.
It was the apex of
freedom and joy in the
gay community, but we soon started seeing HIV.”
With antibodies at the root of symptoms, you knew that a pathogen could be the precipitating cause. How did you end up linking infection and diseases of the nervous system and brain?
I took a residency in neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). It was 1981 when I drove into San Francisco on Gay Pride Day in a Ryder truck right up Castro Street. It was the apex of freedom and joy in the gay community, but we soon started seeing HIV, and I was one of the only people willing to see the patients who were both sick and had neurological disease. My clinic took anybody who had gay-related immunodeficiency, or GRID—an early name for AIDS. One thing I found that was interesting and important was that a lot of people with grid had idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a bleeding disorder. It’s idiopathic, meaning nobody knows what causes it. Thrombocytopenia means you don’t have platelets, so the blood doesn’t clot properly. Purpura refers to the fact that you get these blotches on your skin where blood vessels break. Their platelets were getting chewed up by their antibodies.
HIV was turning the patients’ bodies against themselves, the hallmark of an autoimmune disease. But you found that their immune systems were attacking not just their blood but their nervous systems as well. How did that finding come about?
I discovered this because we then had the only MRI scanner in the world at UCSF. As a result, a colleague asked me to see a patient of his, a ski instructor from Vail, Colorado. The man was thought to have MS, multiple sclerosis. So this fellow arrived at my clinic early one morning, and I did a very detailed neurological exam. As I left him and came back to him over the course of an hour, his symptoms changed. He was becoming quite fatigued, because the testing is arduous. So I gave him a break of 15 minutes. And he came back in to see me and now both sides of his face were so weak he couldn’t smile. He had numbness and tingling and then, right there in my office, his face became so weak he couldn’t close one eye. Then he couldn’t close the other eye.
It was clear this wasn’t MS, and I thought of a couple of causes for what I saw. One was exposure to some kind of toxin. So I checked the man’s spinal fluid for the presence of protein indicating inflammation. His protein was orders of magnitude higher than anything I’d ever seen, and the spinal fluid came out like glue. My colleagues asked what I wanted to do, and I said, I want to do plasmapheresis.
Why did you go back to that technique? Because you wanted to remove the antibodies that you felt were driving his symptoms?
That way I wouldn’t be adding a drug that I couldn’t remove. I’m just reducing the number of antibodies that might be causing this disease. So I talked with the renal dialysis people who had the machinery required to do this, and they said, this guy’s gay, so he has this GRID, right? And he has elevated liver enzymes, so he possibly has non-A, non-B hepatitis. And you want us to contaminate our machines with this guy’s blood? I don’t think so.
What did you do then? I know you couldn’t abandon him.
I’d heard about a Russian guy with a centrifuge at Pacific Medical Center on the other side of town. He was willing to help me, provided two things: Number one, I would take responsibility for inserting the needles in my patient’s arm. And two, he would be paid in cash—$600 up front for every treatment. So I put my guy in my Ford Fiesta, and I drove him over to this medical center. He could barely walk, so I walked him in. He lay down on this hospital bed, and I put in two large-bore needles, one in each arm.
After the first treatment he modestly improved—and he was better yet after the second treatment. I treated him on and off for two years. He started skiing again but eventually progressed to AIDS and died. While he was getting this treatment, though, it helped him function. After that I decided to study infectious disease.

IMSA News Roundup
And while IMSA competitors are still basking in the glory of a successful season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona last month, they're also ready to get back to business. They'll get that chance the end of next week in a two-day IMSA-sanctioned test at Sebring International Raceway on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 23-24.
According to the entry list (attached) released today from IMSA, 34 cars are expected to participate in the test across the four classes. The Prototype class has a 10-car entry, including Rolex 24 winners Jordan and Ricky Taylor in the No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPI-V.R. The Taylor brothers will be joined by their new endurance racing teammate, Briton Alex Lynn, who replaces the newly retired Max Angelelli. Of course, retired NASCAR superstar Jeff Gordon also was part of the Daytona-winning lineup.
Also entered in the Prototype class are both Tequila Patron ESM Nissan DPi entries. The team won last year at Sebring with drivers Pipo Derani, Scott Sharp, Johannes van Overbeek and Ed Brown sharing the same car. This year, Derani and Sharp are sharing the team's No. 2 entry with Ryan Dalziel, while Brown and van Overbeek are paired with FIA World Endurance Champion Brendon Hartley in the No. 22.
A 15-car GT Daytona (GTD) class field is entered, which includes Daytona winners Carlos de Quesada and Daniel Morad in the No. 28 Alegra Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R. De Quesada and Morad will be joined for the test by Spencer Pumpelly, who played a pivotal coaching role for the team at Daytona.
A single Prototype Challenge class entry has been filed, the No. 20 ORECA from BAR1 Motorsports for co-drivers Chapman Ducote and Gustavo Yacaman.
One would be incorrect.
"True, the technical regulations for the Corvettes remain the same as in 2016, but there was still plenty of work to do," said Ben Johnson, Corvette Racing team manager. "While we were frozen on the technical regulation side, it gave us time to catch our breath and work on racecraft."
All the competitors in the GT Le Mans class are essentially working from last year's rules, with one exception – the brand-new, mid-engine Porsche 911 RSRs, which replace last year's rear-engine models.. But that doesn't mean teams can stand still. It just means that rather than work on a new engine or body package or chassis, the teams work on things they can control, like pit stops, race strategy, tire management, and fuel mileage.
"When the rules are changing, you focus on that," Johnson said. "But when you are running existing rules, your focus turns to preparing the cars to be as good as they can possibly be, and making as few mistakes as you can. You don't want to lose points because of mistakes, or because of bad choices we made."
It may be tough to top the 2016 season for the Corvette team. The No. 4 car won the championship and the No. 3 was third, sandwiching the No. 67 Ford Chip Ganassi Racing Ford GT. "We definitely had a successful 2016," Johnson said. "We had some luck fall our way. But mostly good execution got us where we were."
As the results from the 2017 season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona suggest, this could be a long season for GT Le Mans teams looking for a clear advantage. The first four GTLM finishers were a Ford GT, a Porsche 911 RSR, a Ferrari 488 GTE and the No. 4 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R, all having completed 652 laps and 1,912 miles. And the fastest race lap of the four ranged from a low of 1 minute, 43.522 seconds, to a high of 1:43.979 – less than a half-second difference.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was how fast and reliable the new Porsches were right out of the box and as development progresses, that's only expected to improve.
"It's going to be a horse race," Johnson said. "But it's time wasted worrying too much about what the other teams have. We just have to worry about what we have."
The next opportunity to show that is coming up on March 15-18 in the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida. The bumpy, flat, 3.74-mile road course invariably rewards preparation and reliability more than outright pace, and there's no place to hide for teams that aren't ready for the rigors of the historic race.
WINNING MINI AT CHICAGO AUTO SHOW: If any track on the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge circuit would reward sleek aerodynamics, you'd think it would be Daytona International Speedway.
So how to explain the win last month for the four-hour BMW Endurance Challenge at Daytona by the boxiest car in the Street Tuner field, the No. 73 MINI JCW, driven by Mat Pombo and Derek Jones? "It isn't the most ‘aero' car for Daytona, so this is a little unexpected," said Jones, especially compared to the three Porsche Caymans that finished second, third and fourth.
You explain it with power, of which the Mini Cooper has plenty. Team owner and former racer Luis Perocarpi, who grew up racing Minis back home in Chile, long thought the team's first win might be on a long, fast track. For example, one of his cars had fastest race lap at Road America which, at four miles, is the longest track the series competes on.
At the Chicago Auto Show, which is underway now, the MINI exhibit is featuring the Daytona-winning car, dirt and dents in place. It may look a bit out of place, just as it does racing against Porsches on the track, but everybody loves an underdog story.
MORE TV COVERAGE ANNOUNCED: IMSA and FOX Sports announced additional television coverage for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, beginning next month at Sebring.
The Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Fueled by Fresh From Florida on March 18 will receive an additional 90 minutes of live FS1 coverage, with the race broadcast now beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET and continuing through the race's conclusion with post-race coverage until 11 p.m. ET.
The entire Sebring race, flag to flag, will be available on the FOX Sports GO app with FS1 authentication.
The two-hour, 40-minute race at Circuit of The Americas on May 6 has moved its broadcast window from FS2 to FS1, and now will be shown on a same-day delay beginning at 7 p.m. ET. The two-hour, 40-minute Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, meanwhile, moves from a same-day delay to live on FS1 on July 9 at 12 p.m. ET.
In addition to WeatherTech Championship television schedule updates, IMSA also unveiled the 10-race FS1 broadcast schedule for the Continental Tire Challenge. Each race will be tape-delayed on FS1 throughout the season, in addition to live streaming of all races on IMSA.com. Continental Tire Challenge television coverage on FS1 begins this Sunday, Feb. 12 with the telecast of the BMW Endurance Challenge held at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, Jan. 27.

Something is brewing and I blame you…
“People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.” –J. Michael Straczynski
Criminals blame “the system”.
The poor blame the rich.
The rich blame the poor.
Blacks blame whites.
Whites blame blacks.
Blacks and whites blame Hispanics.
Atheists blame Christians.
Christians blame atheists.
Gays blames everyone.
Women blame men.
Men blame women.
Muslims blame the infidels.
To us, the infidels, every Muslim is radical and therefore, blamed.
On and on it goes. A vicious circle of blaming and finger pointing and negativity and pain. Sure, #Blacklivesmatter, but they don’t matter MORE than white, brown or unborn lives. Every life matters and has value. We are fighting the wrong war, y’all. We have made each other the enemy instead of uniting for a common good.
And because we are so polarized, there are no good solutions to mendable problems because there is no personal accountability, no healthy discourse, no productive cooperation.
Our new national reality is defined primarily by a lessening of freedom and faith.
We continuously elect leaders and tolerate citizens who behave like spoiled brats or heartless vigilantes. We have settled for puppets, elitists, thugs and wanna-be tyrants instead of demanding dignified statesmen, thoughtful diplomats and public servants.
We have entrusted our nation’s security to people who refuse to see reason or face facts. They have abandoned and forsaken us. Completely.
Obama doesn’t love America. He can’t. If he did, his presidency would look completely different and his leadership would be much less narcissistic.
Democrats, well, my overall opinion of liberals and progressives isn’t appropriate for publishing. I try to keep my writing PG rated. So, suffice it to say, I hope they are satisfied. I hope they are happy. They have led the way as our nation has economically and morally nose-dived off a cliff. They have blood on their hands. I hope they are proud of themselves.
The Republican establishment. Well, for many of these folks I share the same disdain. They don’t care about conservative values. Heck, they don’t even remember what conservative values are!! If they did, we wouldn’t have Obamacare, abortion, gay marriage or the Iran deal. Just to name a few. They are out of touch and it is time for them to go. Every last one of them.
Folks, our stock market is down. Our deficit is beyond what normal minds can compute. Our military has been crippled. Our people are out of work or underemployed. Our law enforcement officers are under attack. Christians are being persecuted. Men are becoming women. Women, well, we have lost our ever-loving minds. Our rights and liberties are being eroded at a rapid pace. Our position in the world has been weaken beyond recognition. Our enemies have been embolden. Our allies have been abandoned. Our national unity is at what I would consider an all time low. We are a nation divided socio-economically, racially, spiritually and politically.
At the risk of sounding dramatic y’all, something is brewing. Something lurks upon the horizon for our nation and our people. No, I don’t think we are at the End. No, I don’t think believers are about to be raptured. However, something is coming. l have spent the last few months studying prophecy and eschatology (that’s a fancy word for “end times”) and have become more and more convinced that America is standing at a crossroads. I believe that we are on the cusp of experiencing either national redemption or decline.
But be prepared to have your mind blown. And hopefully, if needed, your heart changed.
Y’all, I have a dream. No, wait, I have a hope. A hope that what once made us great can be rediscovered and restored. A hope that what once drew us together and bound us tightly to each other can once again be found and recaptured. I have a hope that we can return to our roots, return to our foundations and return to our faith.
I have a hope that we, Americans, people of a Christian nation, friends of Israel, champions of freedom and liberty, can at the end of the day, remember who we are and who He is.

True Potential Sports Day Raises £3,456 For The Sick Children’s Trust
Please note this blog post was published over 12 months ago and so may not include the most up-to-date information, for example where regulation around investing has changed.
True Potential staff have enjoyed a day of fun-filled competition, and raised £1,728 for The Sick Children’s Trust in the first ever True Potential Sports Day. True Potential’s Senior Partners then doubled staff donations, resulting in £3,456 being donated to The Sick Children’s Trust.
Organised by True Potential’s Group Executive Assistant, Esther McAusland, True Potential’s Sports Day featured events such as Egg & Spoon Power Knee Ups, Dizzy Penalties, and Keepy Ups. With the majority of True Potential’s 300 strong workforce working from home, events were held virtually, coming together in the epic video you can watch below.
At True Potential Head Office, we have a small team operating as part of True Potential Site 2, ensuring that essential office based jobs are completed. Our dedicated Site 2 team took part in a 100m race in the True Potential Car Park, with Head Of True Potential Adviser Services Gregg Lang coming out as the gold medallist.
The Sick Children’s Trust is a fantastic cause to get behind, a charity that gives almost 3,800 families with a seriously ill child in hospital a warm and comfortable place to stay when they need it most. When a child suddenly becomes ill, there’s no time to plan. The Sick Children’s Trust is the charity that gives families one less thing to worry about by giving them a place to stay, and someone to talk to, free of charge just minutes from their child’s bedside. True Potential’s Sports Day means 115 families will now be able to get support in their time of crisis.
Speaking about staff fundraising efforts for this brilliant cause, True Potential Chief Executive Daniel Harrison said “It wouldn’t be a summer event without a sports day being held and it was amazing to see the True Potential team get well and truly stuck in. There was some great efforts and some great laughs along the way. Importantly, we also raised close to £3,500 for a worthwhile cause with The Sick Childrens Trust. I’m proud of the team for their fundraising efforts’
Sports Day organiser, Esther McAusland, said “The Sports Day was so much fun to organise, everybody got involved and enjoyed themselves knowing they were supporting such a worthy cause, but it was also a great way for everyone to still feel connected as a company whilst working remotely.

Genetic Control of Genomic Alterations Induced in Yeast by Interstitial Telomeric Sequences.
In many organisms, telomeric sequences can be located internally on the chromosome in addition to their usual positions at the ends of the chromosome. In humans, such interstitial telomeric sequences (ITSs) are nonrandomly associated with translocation breakpoints in tumor cells and with chromosome fragile sites (regions of the chromosome that break in response to perturbed DNA replication). We previously showed that ITSs in yeast generated several different types of instability, including terminal inversions (recombination between the ITS and the "true" chromosome telomere) and point mutations in DNA sequences adjacent to the ITS. In the current study, we examine the genetic control of these events. We show that the terminal inversions occur by the single-strand annealing pathway of DNA repair following the formation of a double-stranded DNA break within the ITS. The point mutations induced by the ITS require the error-prone DNA polymerase ζ. Unlike the terminal inversions, these events are not initiated by a double-stranded DNA break, but likely result from the error-prone repair of a single-stranded DNA gap or recruitment of DNA polymerase ζ in the absence of DNA damage.

Despite the fact that biometric authentication techniques are working to eliminate the need for passwords, academics and corporations are constantly looking for new ways to ensure that people are who they claim to be. One such method is ear canal biometrics.
On first glance, ear canals may not appear to be the most appealing portion of a person’s body, considering that they are not precisely the most attractive part of the body. A recent assessment of the research suggests that new research is opening the door to the prospect that ear canal biometrics could help minimise the “need for passcodes, fingerprints, facial recognition, and other biometrics,” according to the research overview.
Sounds are delivered to the human ear, and the sound is eventually not only absorbed by the human ear canal, but it is also reflected back to a microphone that is built into the device.
EarEcho provides biometric information about the ear canal.
EarEcho is an ear canal biometric device that is currently the focal point of attention in the field of ear canal biometrics. Moreover, according to another report, the device “utilises customised wireless earbuds to verify smartphone users based on the specific geometry of their ear canal.”
EarEcho is the result of years of research and development by computer scientist Zhanpeng Jin at the University of Buffalo, and the university’s Technology Transfer office has submitted a provisional patent application for the product. According to reports, an EarEcho prototype has already achieved accuracy of 95 percent.
The general concept is to allow people to unlock their smartphones by wearing headphones equipped with Ear-echo technology.
The following is an explanation of how ear canal biometrics work: Sounds are delivered to the person’s ear, and the sound is finally absorbed by the person’s ear canal, as well as reflected back to the microphone that is built into the device. Individuals using the device will have their own patterns created as a result of their own actions. The data is transferred to the user’s smartphone through a Bluetooth link. And this, in turn, makes it possible to use biometric authentication. According to current estimates, the entire procedure takes no more than one second, at least for the great majority of participants who have participated in tests of the technology thus far.
As Jin has stated, “it doesn’t matter what the sound is because everyone’s ears are different, and we can demonstrate that in the audio recording.” “This uniqueness may lead to the development of a new method of verifying the identification of the user, similar to fingerprinting.” Specific applications for ear canal biometrics are still in the early stages of development, but this development demonstrates that we have not reached the end of the list of possible biometric modalities in the future.###

The idea that putting everyone into something like a Mayo Clinic will save oodles of money underlies almost everything being discussed in Washington. But it is based more on wishful thinking than on any real evidence. Now Peter Nelson at the Center of the American Experiment offers a paper that should put this fantasy to rest for a while.
Mr. Nelson agrees that the Mayo Clinic provides very high quality care. But he says if you look beyond the price controls of the Medicare program, it is by no means low cost. He writes, “In Medicare, the government sets prices and, as a result, the prices in the Dartmouth data reflect national Medicare policies and do not reflect the price of health care services negotiated between private health plans and providers more generally.” Indeed, “Relative to other Minnesota providers, most evidence pegs the Mayo Clinic as a high-cost provider.”
How does he know this? Mr. Nelson writes:
Last week, Minnesota Community Measurement unveiled a new Web site that provides the most concrete public data on the price of various physician procedures in clinics across Minnesota. Specifically, the Web site provides the average negotiated price from Minnesota’s four largest health plans for 105 procedures offered in a physician’s office. Based on this data, the Mayo Clinic is often the highest cost provider relative to other Minnesota providers.
Based on the data in the table, Mayo costs far more than other Minnesota providers. Of the 69 procedures, Mayo’s price is the highest for 11 and among the top five highest for 48. On average, Mayo’s price was 220 percent higher than HealthEast and 180 percent higher than Park Nicollet.
He goes on to provide some caveats, but concludes, “Nonetheless, the fact that every tiered health plan in Minnesota places Mayo in the high-cost tier suggests strongly that Mayo’s total cost of care is higher relative to other Minnesota providers.”

Getting fit in middle age halves the risk of suffering a stroke later in life, researchers have found.
Scientists said it is never too late to take up exercise – and turning your life around even after years of inactivity can quickly play dividends.
Remarkably, they found men who got off the sofa and started getting fit in their 40s and 50s saw their stroke risk drop to levels seen among those who had exercised throughout their youth.
The findings, by experts in Norway, offer hope that it is not too late to get fit to the millions of middle-aged people in Britain who do very little exercise.
Erik Prestgaard, doctor in cardiology department at Oslo University Hospital, said even after decades spent doing little physical activity, people who change their habits in this period can dramatically improve their chances of a healthy retirement.
Getting fit in middle age halves the risk of suffering a stroke later in life (stock image)
WANT TO BE BODY CONFIDENT? JUST 30 MINUTES OF EXERCISE MAKES WOMEN FEEL SLIMMER
Just 30 minutes of exercise makes women feel slimmer and more body confident, research revealed in June.
Being active for half-an-hour makes us feel stronger and significantly better about our amount of body fat, a study found.
These body-confident emotions last for at least 20 minutes post-exercise, the research adds.
Study author Professor Kathleen Martin Ginis from the University of British Columbia, said: ‘We think that the feelings of strength and empowerment women achieve post exercise, stimulate an improved internal dialogue.
‘This in turn should generate positive thoughts and feelings about their bodies which may replace the all too common negative ones.’
‘If you become fit or remain fit, there’s no difference’
‘If you become fit or remain fit, there’s no difference,’ he said.
‘That’s a good message – if you’re 50 and not fit over the next years you can become fit and lower your risk. It’s never too late to get fit.’
But crucially, his team also found that people who do not take control of their health at this point see their stroke risk soar.
Because while the 40s and 50s seems to offer a window in which it is possible for people to turn around their health, those who do not see the odds stacked against them for years to come.
The research team, presenting their findings at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Barcelona, found failing to exercise in these crucial years can have a catastrophic impact on health in later life.
Public Health England last week warned Britain is in the midst of an ‘inactivity epidemic’ which has seen exercise levels drop 20 per cent since the 1960s.
Officials are particularly worried about the 6.3million middle-aged people – 41 per cent of the age group – who do not even go for a brisk walk once a month.
Lower stroke risk by up to 56%
The research team tracked 2,000 men aged between 40 and 60, starting in the 1970s.
The participants were initially monitored for seven years to see how their exercise habits changed.
Their physical fitness was monitored using exercise tests on bicycle machines.
Strikingly, the majority of participants – 65 per cent – actually became less fit in those seven years, and only 35 per cent took up more exercise.
The researchers then tracked the group for another 23 years, in which time one in eight people suffered a stroke.
Those who had increased their exercise the most in the seven-year window were 56 per cent less likely to have a stroke later when compared to those who had become more inactive.
The findings offer hope that it is not too late to get fit to the millions who do very little exercise
‘Putting in the effort will protect you’
Dr Prestgaard said: ‘The men who increased the most were not fit at all, they went from low levels and moved up.
‘A big part of these men were just getting themselves together.’
He added: ‘The findings are important because they show that even moderate increases in cardiorespiratory fitness in middle-aged men may significantly lower stroke risk. It’s a really big risk reduction – 56 per cent.’
Crucially, Dr Prestgaard found no difference in outcome between those who had been fit all their lives and those who suddenly decided to get active.
And he said it would not take a big effort for someone to turn their life around.
‘They weren’t in any kind of fitness programme,’ he said.
‘They weren’t marathon runners or anything like that.
‘So we can safely say that as a normal person you are able to improve your fitness by putting in the effort and that will protect you.’
But he warned that people who let themselves go at this time – which his study suggests the majority of people do – will be stacking the odds against themselves for years to come.
‘The findings indicate that a decline in fitness level increases the risk of stroke,’ he said.
‘Some of them probably let themselves go. They were between the ages of 40 and 60 when they started and some of them probably cycled to work and then retired and didn’t move as much.
‘You can’t let yourself go because you lose the protection that you had. If you’re in good shape when you’re 50 you can’t just stop working out and float on what you have. You have to keep it up.’
Dr Prestgaard admitted the findings were limited – because the team only tracked men, so it is not clear whether they would also apply to women.
The team also only examined stroke risk, so other health factors, such as heart disease and cancer, may benefit more from fitness at a younger age.
‘Regular exercise is known to have many positive effects’
Richard Francis, head of research awards at the Stroke Association, said: ‘Everyone can take steps to lower their stroke risk with simple lifestyle changes, like eating a balanced diet, taking regular exercise and stopping smoking.
‘Regular exercise is known to have many positive effects, such as help to maintain a healthy weight, improving mood, as well as increasing fitness.’
Professor Sir Muir Gray, clinical adviser to Public Health England who launched the organisation’s new activity campaign last week, said: ‘We all know physical activity is good for your health, but for the first time we’re seeing the effects that easily achievable changes can make.’
An estimated 100,000 people have a stroke each year in Britain – a number which is expected to soar in the coming years.
A quarter of patients die within a year, and of the survivors, half are left with long-lasting disability, which can include paralysis, speech problems and personality changes.

Recently, the BBC aired McCullin, a documentary film dedicated to British photographer Don McCullin. I wrote about him last year, after discovering a book about his day out with The Beatles in 1968. (You can read that here.) This documentary focused on McCullin’s photojournalism from war zones, though – the arenas in which he made his name and cemented his place among the UK’s greatest photographers.
I love Don McCullin. I first discovered his work at an exhibition in London in which his war photography was on display, and I was instantly gripped. I soaked up every single image. McCullin’s defining qualities are his honesty and his fearlessness, omitting no detail and placing his audience uncomfortably at the centre of the action. And it’s a wonderful thing that I used the present tense in that last sentence, because – at the age of 77 – he’s still doing this work. In late 2012, he was interviewed by The Observer ahead of a trip to cover the conflict in Syria. After a career spanning six decades, it’s marvellous that he still has the appetite for his work, despite his advancing years and declining health. Visiting Aleppo with arthritis after a stroke and a series of heart problems says everything about the man. And asked about his motive, his explanation was delicious:
“[Photojournalism] has had it… Celebrity, looks, fashion. If I see another picture of Gwyneth Paltrow, I think I’ll put my head down the lavatory… I can’t take any more of it. That’s why I’m going to Syria.”
The film, directed by David and Jacqui Morris, explores McCullin’s career through a selection of his iconic war images and a series of extremely frank and revealing interviews. It also touches on his upbringing, and the way he had to toughen up from an early age amid constant fighting in his Finsbury Park neighbourhood. Clearly, this background informs his photography, from conflicts across the globe to his gritty portraits of the impoverished within the UK. McCullin has always sought grit and drama above anything else in his work.
The film is a must for photojournalism enthusiasts, and is currently available in the UK on the BBC iPlayer. Don’t miss it.

Deflecting European Union Influence on National Education Policy-Making: The Case of the United Kingdom
2013 (English)In: Journal of European Integration, ISSN 0703-6337, Vol. 35, no 1, 37-52 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
This article examines how education policies developed in the European Union (EU) through the open method of co-ordination (OMC) are received at the member state level of the United Kingdom (UK). We argue that the UK’s response to the education OMC can be understood mainly in terms of deflecting EU influence on the process and in particular content of national education policy-making. We focus on three manifestations of deflecting EU influence on national education policies. On a level of institutional structures, first, few organizational resources are made available for responding to the education OMC. Second, there is limited communication between domestic policy teams and UK civil servants involved in international work. Third, on a level of discourse UK education policy makers have retained a commitment to the continued sovereignty of the UK over education policy and its role as a potential leader of education policy agendas in the EU. Deflecting the education OMC involves here constructing images of ‘fit’ between UK and EU OMC education policies.

Dayton, Ohio – The University of Dayton softball squad swept Youngstown State in a doubleheader on Saturday. The Flyers had 18 hits, with nine Flyers contributing to the action, in the 10-4 and 5-3 victories.
“The difference between yesterday and today was our offense,” said UD Head Coch Cara Clark-LaPlaca. “We finished, played the entire game well and executed when we had runners in scoring position.”
Freshman Kathleen Maloof and senior Anne Maci each went 3-for-3 at the plate for UD during the first game. Emily Stegeman added another two hits while Lauren Nacke and Megan Lee contributed one a piece.
The Flyers got things going right away, scoring three runs in the first inning. Maloof started the inning with a single. A sac bunt by Molly Meyer, a single by Maci and a walk loaded the bases. Brandy Brown patiently waited at the plate and would eventually reach first on a walk, tying the score 1-1. Again, with the bases loaded, Stegeman cracked a single to score both Maci and Nacke giving the Flyers a 3-1 lead.
Continuing the offensive surge, the Flyers struck again in the sixth inning. With one out, a clutch double by Maci would score two. Then three singles in a row by Nacke, Brown and Stegeman brought the score to an uneven 10-3.
Senior Eva Rappe (4-3) struck out two and earned the win. Amanda Daly came in as relief late in the fourth. With the bases loaded and one out the Flyers came together defensively to tally two quick outs and allowing only two runs in the inning. For the final three innings Daly allowed only three hits and one run.
The second game was not nearly as lop-sided as the first, but the Flyers started in a similar fashion. Down one in the first, Maloof hit a leadoff homerun to get the Flyers on the board quickly. Two outs and two walks later, Raime Cronkhite got in on the action, cranking a double to left field giving the Flyers a 2-1 lead.
After taking back the lead in the third, the Flyers tacked on two runs in the fourth and the seventh. In the fourth, two Flyers, Nichols and Maloof, each had sacrifice hits to move Carlyn Harlow around the bags. In the seventh, a throwing error by the Penguins gave the Flyers an insurance run.
Once again, relief pitching was important. After pitching six innings and allowing only two runs, Sarah Wedel (3-4) exited. Rappe took over in the sixth and finished the game strong, earning her first save of the season.
“Our relievers were crucial today. Amanda and Eva provided solid relief to assure us two big wins,” said Clark.
The Flyers finished the second game with eight hits, five runs and one error to the Penguins seven hits, three runs and one error. Meyer and Harlow each tallied two hits while Lee, Cronkhite, Brown and Maloof each added one.
UD is off until Wednesday when they take on Ball State in another home doubleheader. The first game will start at 3 p.m. ET with the second game starting around 5:00 p.m.

Laptop Voltage Q
My laptop Power adapter is 100-240V 1A and require's a micky mouse power cable. I've found a Mickymouse power cable but it's 250V 2.5A, will this work or could it cause problems with my laptop's power adapter? The laptop I'm trying to power up is a Acer Aspire ONE Netbook.

As long as the power supply you wish to use is rated above the original psu then you are fine you'd run into potential problems if it was rated lower.
22nd December 2009, 04:10 PM #3
Yes, the 250V 2.5A rating refers to the maximum voltage and current carrying capabilities of the cable for carrying power between the wall outlet and the mains adaptor for the laptop.

Sons of Confederate Veterans hold April meeting
Posted: Thursday, April 12, 2012 8:00 pm
The Gen. Otho French Strahl Camp 176, Sons of Confederate Veterans, conducted its monthly meeting recently at the Obion County Museum on Edwards Street in Union City.
The meeting was called to order by Commander Danny Isbell, who led the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States Flag and the SCV Flag Salute. Compatriot Bob Nichols led the opening prayer.
A DVD presentation of the Battle of Shiloh was shown. “This presentation was very interesting and informative,” a spokesman said, adding the timing was excellent as the 150th anniversary of the battle was marked recently.
Members learned the headstone dedication at the Holloman Cemetery near Mason Hall is scheduled for May 26. They also received an update on the cleaning of the Chambers-Holman Cemetery across the road from Memorial Gardens. Another work day is needed to complete this project, it was noted.
A formal dedication of the newly-installed Confederate soldier statue at the Parks Cemetery Ridge Confederate Memorial Plaza is scheduled for April 28 to correspond with Confederate History Month. SCV National Lt. Commander Kelly Barrows will be the program speaker for this event. Program brochures should be ready soon.
The Confederate History & Heritage Month display at the Obion County Public Library for April is complete and period items are on display. Members were encouraged to invite visitors to the library to view the exhibit. Special thanks was sent to Kathy Williams for helping arrange the display.
The May meeting has been rescheduled for May 6, due to the Mother’s Day holiday falling on the second Sunday, which is the regular meeting time for the group.
The meeting closed with 15 members and two guests in attendance. Compatriot Bob Nichols offered the closing prayer.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans is the nation’s largest Southern heritage, history and honor organization open to all male descendants of a Confederate soldier who served honorably in the War for Southern Independence.
For more information, call 1-800-MYSOUTH or visit the website www.scvcamp176.org.

Som platja: the project starts
We started the project “Som platja” (We are beach), a service-learning project directed at five high schools from Catalan coastal municipalities. This project has the support of the General Directorate of Environmental Policies and Natural Environment of the Department of Territory and Sustainability of the Government of Catalonia.
The general objective of the project is to improve the environmental status of the coastline and beaches, counting on the involvement of students from the participating high schools to do so. Thus, the students will propose and carry out different actions and activities aimed to collaborate with the respective city councils and raise awareness among their neighbors about the natural marine heritage of their municipality and the importance of preserving it. To do this, the project foresees two main activities:
- Training students on aspects related to the marine environment, the coastline and beaches and raising awareness about a global environmental problem: marine litter.
- Involving students in maintaining or improving the environmental conditions of their coastline, “adopting” the beach (or one of the beaches) of their municipality.
This beach “adoption” will combine collaborating with the city council (as the competent administration in the beach management), carrying out in situ actions such as the periodic sampling of the accumulated litter (to know its typology and assess its possible ways of entering into the marine environment) and carrying out informative campaigns and actions to sensitize their neighbors.
This project is supported by:

You may not think that concrete countertops sound very appealing or would look very good. When you think of the sidewalks and roads outside and imagine them on your kitchen counter, the picture seems strange and certainly unattractive. However, there are different mixtures available that can make this material a variety of different colors, textures, and forms. Some mixtures use white Portland cement to create different lighter colors. White Portland cement contains less iron and manganese oxides, which give normal cement its gray color. Pigments, stains, and dyes can be mixed with the white cement to create a variety of colors. Various darker colors can be created using normal gray Portland cement. Another variation that can change the way this material looks is the aggregate used in the mixture. You can use either coarse or fine aggregate, but the finer aggregate can have a greater effect on the color of the countertop. For decorative purposes like countertops, the cement is commonly mixed with aggregates like quartz, granite, marble and limestone to create a more appealing look.
The pigments used to create different granite and marble colors for these kinds of countertops can come in various forms. Some pigments are in liquid form, which mixes readily with the cement mixture to create a unique color. Other common pigments are in powder form, but they still work just as well. The surface can also be colored after it is poured using stains or dyes.
Concrete countertops first appeared in the kitchens and baths of some upscale homes, restaurants and stores. Since then, it has become increasingly popular in smaller, more modest homes. This may be because there are so many variations in color and appearance to create a unique countertop in each home. Another reason for its increased popularity is that it can be made into any shape you desire, simply by pouring it into a form of that shape. There are many sealers available now to protect the countertop and change the way it looks. You can choose a glossy sealer or a matte finish depending on the desired look.
Many people prefer the look of natural stone countertops, but concrete countertops can mimic many of those looks. This material can be made to look like granite or marble when it is designed, mixed, and finished properly.

Kay Phillips, 70, owner with her husband, Dave, of a working farm in High Point, N.C., on her 1975 Checker Marathon, as told to A.J. Baime.
My husband, Dave, was the one who wanted a Checker. He was inspired by Checker cabs he had seen in New York City. He was always creative; at the time, he was running his own fabric manufacturing business. [Mr. Phillips, years later, became U.S. ambassador to Estonia.]
One day he said to me, “I am going to buy you a new car.” When he told me what he had in mind, I told him he was crazy. He took me to a taxi company in Durham, N.C., and through that taxi company we ordered a car from Checker cab in Kalamazoo, Mich. [The Checker Motors Corp. built huge fleets of taxis for much of the 20th century, ending production in 1982; the Marathon model was aimed more at consumers.] My husband asked me to pick out a color, so I said, “How about navy blue?” The whole thing was bizarre.
Some time later, in 1976, I was mowing my lawn when this Checker Marathon pulled into my driveway. I thought, “Oh my God!” We lived in a small town. This was different. The whole thing was very humorous.
I smoked back then. There was only one ashtray, by the driver’s seat—2 by 2 inches. I thought, this is never going to work. So the taxi dealer screwed ashtrays into the other doors. My husband called me by a nickname, Kayroe, so I painted in small letters on the driver’s side, “Kayroe’s Cab Company.”
My children adored that car. They went to school in it. They went to horse shows in it. I changed diapers on the seats. On Halloweens, back before this was not against the rules, I could fit 14 kids in the back. The car became like a member of the family. Everyone knew everyone in High Point, and people always knew where I was because of that car. Once when I was driving through town, a friend saw me and yelled, “Taxi!”
Recently, after some 40 years, my husband decided to have the Checker redone. Dave has a friend who works on race cars and this man stripped the car down. Back when my kids were young, the car was very plain. Now it has beautiful leather and it smells luscious. It has a movie screen that folds down from the ceiling, for the back seats. We wanted to be safety-conscious too. When our kids are home for the holidays, they love to see the car, and now our grandkids have started to ride in it.
When my husband came up with the idea to buy a Checker back in 1975, I thought he was crazy. But it turned out to be the most fun car ever.
