Seth Rogen has thrown in his lot with the Bieber bashers.
The "Neighbors" star, 31, stopped by Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" on Wednesday, and the host asked him about a tweet he'd posted in January following Justin Bieber's arrest on suspicion of DUI in Miami.
Sorry, guys, we can't republish the tweet here, but it involved Rogen calling the pop star "a piece of" something.
The 20-year-old "Beauty and a Beat" singer's latest antics have further sullied his name. Those jail photos and videos and that notoriously unflattering deposition video haven't done much to help his case, especially given that they came after vandalism allegations and accusations that Bieber had been speeding through residential streets.
Anyway, when Cohen brought up Rogen's tweet, the actor piled it on.
"In my opinion, Justin Bieber is a piece of ...," he said again. "He's obnoxious and ungrateful and unsincere and he puts people's lives in danger."
Oh, tell us how you really feel, Seth.
The notorious Hollywood stoner, who recently testified before Congress about Alzheimer's disease, also "spilled the herbal tea" on the show by sharing the names of a handful of celebrities with whom he's smoked weed. They include his "Knocked Up" costar Paul Rudd, comedian Sarah Silverman and rapper Snoop Dogg. Rogen said he only talked about it with his "Guilt Trip" costar Barbra Streisand, but she said she happened to smoke with legendary actor Peter Sellers ("The Pink Panther," "Dr. Strangelove").
Late last year, Rogen and his "This Is the End" costar James Franco spoofed Kanye West's "Bound 2" music video, which featured West's fiancée Kim Kardashian inexplicably riding topless backward straddling the singer on a motorcycle. The pair called their version "Bound 3" and got positive feedback from the usually combative rapper.
"He was pleased and humored by the experience ... as he should have been," Rogen said. "He's a sweetheart and a mensch."
Rogen's "Neighbors" costar, Dave Franco (yes, James Franco's younger brother), appeared on the Bravo talk show with Rogen and revealed that he'd tested for the role of vampire Edward Cullen in "Twilight." That, of course, prompted a giddy Cohen to ask them to re-enact the sunlight scene from the first film in the mega-popular franchise. Rogen donned a brunet wig to dramatically play Kristen Stewart's Bella Swan, and Franco played Robert Pattinson's Edward. It's hilarious: Watch it here.
"Neighbors" knocks its way into theaters May 9.

Hi. I've used Planned Parenthood. In fact, for at least 4 years (not sure I fully remember how long) Planned Parenthood was my sole health care source.
I used the student health center when in college, but then I moved to NYC, and like any of us who don't go right from college (or high school) to full-time employment with a company big or progressive enough to provide employees with health care, I was out of luck.
I was doing part-time temp work while pursuing my dream, and even when I transitioned to full-time work, there was no health care. And no I didn't buy heath insurance. I'm not sure at the ripe old age of 21 I had a good concept of why I would need it or how to get it.
What I did know, what had been sort of burned into my consciousness, was that I need to get an annual exam. (In fact, if you use the birth control pill they don't give you refills past a year in order to require you to get that annual exam.)
So, each year, when I came home for Christmas, I went to the Planned Parenthood in Sunnyvale, CA. I got my exam; I got my pill prescription renewed. And given I lived in NYC during the early days of the AIDS crisis, and during the time where the message that every person should get tested was so pervasive, Planned Parenthood is also where I got my AIDS test.
I don't remember what I paid. I paid something, but it was a sliding scale based on my nearly non-existent income.
I should add that even when I moved back to California and worked full-time, for about 7 years I worked for very small companies who did not provide health care. I didn't have my first company-provided health care plan until 1997.
At some point I started making enough money that I did go out and get myself an individual health plan.
But Planned Parenthood was a place that women like me could go, be treated with respect, and have our basic health care needs addressed.
I have never been pregnant. Which, obviously, means I have never had an abortion. And most of my fellow pursuing-a-dream friends who used Planned Parenthood were the same.
Not that it should matter, given abortion is legal in this country.
You may have seen lots of folks tweeting this week and weekend about using Planned Parenthood.
This is just my story. One story. One I think many many American women could tell.
What is your Planned Parenthood story?

Lectins are a special group of proteins that bind to specific carbohydrate groups on cell walls or membranes. They were first described in 1888 and were named for the ability possessed by some of the proteins to agglutinate red blood cells belonging to certain human blood groups selectively. Lectins are still often utilized for this purpose, but are also widely used in laboratories to isolate glycoproteins for observation and study. Many lectins are derived from the seeds of leguminous plants, but a number of other sources for the proteins have also been identified. The proteins are often subdivided into an array of subcategories, such as galectins, collectins, and annexins, based on shared characteristics.
The culture of rat enteroglial cells illustrated above was labeled with Texas Red conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin, a lectin that selectively binds with sialic acid residues. The culture was subsequently labeled for the cytoskeletal F-actin network with Alexa Fluor 488, and for DNA in the cell nucleus with the ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Kirsten E, Ontario
- 12/30/2013
About Me
I'm a former Executive Assistant turned stay-at-home mom living in South-Western Ontario with my husband of 15 years and our two active children. In the time between our busy family's priorities, you'll find me planning friends', neighbours' and relatives' Walt Disney World vacations. Although working with Walt Disney World has always been a dream of mine, it's never been a very 'attainable' goal since I'm Canadian and live 2,054 kms away from The Happiest Place on Earth! When the Moms Panel was first announced, I just knew that it was meant for me to be a part of and so began the pursuit of my dream. Finally, a chance to share my knowledge and love of Walt Disney World with an audience spanning outside my own circle of friends and family! It's definitely my absolute "dream come true" to be a part of the Walt Disney World Moms Panel and I feel privileged to be able to add some extra pixie dust to countless families' vacations!
About My Family
My husband and I have two happy, active kids. Our son plays goalie on his hockey team and also enjoys snowboarding in the winters and lacrosse in the summer. Our daughter has danced competitively since the age of 5 in every dance style possible which keeps us hoppin', literally, traveling to competitions throughout each spring. Many of our family's special memories have taken place at Walt Disney World. Our kids both learned that if you lose a tooth while at Walt Disney World, the Tooth Fairy doesn't visit, Tinker Bell does! It's HER "fairy jurisdiction" after all! We've enjoyed 3 Grand Gatherings with family & friends as well as several Disney Cruises. Our ultimate, dream vacation would be to go "Around the World in Disney style." As Walt Disney himself said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." So, I'm going to keep on dreaming!
About My Disney Experience
My first trip to Walt Disney World was at the age of 7. I visited three more times during my youth & adolescence before my first time experiencing the Magic of Disney as a "Mom" when my own daughter was 23 months old. We cherish every moment we spend together in the parks & resorts and now that the kids are getting older, we especially enjoy new tours & experiences together. I've planned Disney vacations for families with toddlers, teens & every age in between as well as honeymooners and multi-generational Grand Gatherings. I particularly enjoy sharing tips on using the Disney Dining Plan and making dining & resort recommendations to suit a family's tastes or budget. The real magic of Walt Disney World for me is that it is truly never the same vacation twice. I look forward to using my 30+ years of Walt Disney World vacation experiences & knowledge to enrich the vacations of so many more families during my time on the Walt Disney World Moms Panel.

Speculative Environments: Spaces of Disease Surveillance
By Lindsay Thomas
[ PDF version ]
The global surveillance of infectious disease is fundamentally connected to problems of scale: how to track the movement of contagions through different populations and across regional and national boundaries requires the negotiation of scales ranging from the molecular to the global. Often such negotiation is most successfully carried out through the use of geographic information systems (GIS), information systems that are a combination of digital cartography, database management, and spatial analytical tools. This essay concerns two GIS used for disease surveillance: the World Health Organization's (WHO) FluNet, part of its Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), and the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center's (NISAC) Epidemic Simulation System (EpiSimS), an agent-based simulation engine for modeling the spread of infectious diseases through different regions of the United States. Through their negotiation of a wide range of scales, these systems construct spaces of disease surveillance—environments governed less through empirical modes than through speculative modes. Disease surveillance using GIS, then, points to a greater shift in how governments, particularly the government of the United States, enact security.
One method of disease surveillance is performed through institutional infrastructures constituted by interconnected biotechnological networks dedicated to disease surveillance. One such network is the GISRS, the WHO's oldest and most extensive global disease surveillance network. Operational since 1947, the GISRS today is composed of 135 National Influenza Centers (NIC) in 105 different countries that annually collect more than 175,000 patient samples containing over 2,000 discrete strains of influenza. The NICs send these samples to one of six WHO Collaborating Centers (CC) — located in Australia, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States — and these centers analyze the virus samples to determine whether influenza viruses currently in circulation differ significantly from viruses for which a vaccine already exists. Using this data, the WHO CCs are able to make biannual recommendations for influenza vaccine formulations. In this way, the institutional network of the GISRS monitors the evolution of existing influenza viruses and tries to detect the emergence of new strains, serving "as a global alert mechanism for the emergence of influenza viruses with pandemic potential."[1]
Serving "as a global alert mechanism" for influenza pandemics requires the systematic communication of information about the spread of the virus as well as the number and type of virus samples gathered and vaccines created. To this end, the NICs and CCs make the information they gather and collate available to public health officials and other interested parties using the GISRS's main tool for information sharing: a web-based tool called FluNet that captures, stores, analyzes, manages, and presents geographic, epidemiological, and virological information on influenza. FluNet brings together data on the influenza virus, its movement through particular populations, and the kinds of resources — including health care facilities and transportation and information-infrastructures — available to these populations. Data entry is restricted to officials associated with certain NICs and WHO CCs but certain data is available to all public users in the form of charts, graphs, and maps. Although data updates are only required once weekly, FluNet allows public health officials access to recent data on the status of the influenza virus, data that is potentially useful when trying to monitor or prevent the spread of influenza.
Another form of disease surveillance is carried out by NISAC, a division of the Department of Homeland Security composed of personnel located in Washington, D.C. at the Sandia National Laboratories and at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. One of the many simulation tools utilized by NISAC is EpiSimS, a C++ application that models the daily movements and interactions of synthetic individuals within a city or region and creates social networks representing these interactions. It then combines these social networks with models of the geographic spread of disease in order to deliver models of the demographic and geographic distributions of a particular disease; in other words, this application offers an agent-based model within a targeted geographic information system environment. Like FluNet, it maps the spread of disease over geopolitical, topographical, and transportation system maps. What's more, due to its high level of granularity, EpiSimS, unlike FluNet, is able to provide data on relatively small geographic regions like counties and cities. This "provides decision makers with information about (1) the consequences of a biological attack, (2) the resulting demand for health services, and (3) the feasibility and effectiveness of response options."[2] Much like FluNet, EpiSimS's output is in the form of charts, tables, and scalable maps. Unlike FluNet, however, data input and output is restricted to experts and public health officials; most of the simulation models and information produced using EpiSimS are not publicly available. One of the many ways in which officials at NISAC have used EpiSimS is through the modeling of the spread of pandemic influenza in several counties in southern California. Performed in 2007, this model provided information on how best to control the spread of pandemic influenza using a multi-component strategy involving both pharmaceutical — the distribution of stockpiled vaccines — and non-pharmaceutical — school closures and work absenteeism — intervention strategies.[3] Some of these strategies were then utilized during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.[4]
As surveillance systems, FluNet and EpiSimS are evidence of the militarization of public health. They aspire to a totalizing vision that maps the micro-scale of viral infection onto the macro-scale of geopolitics. Ideally, this kind of scalar negotiation allows officials to prepare for the emergence of infectious disease, detect this emergence when it occurs, and direct resources toward containing the spread of such diseases. In other words, these systems attempt to articulate control within the emergence of unpredictable networks of infection.[5] This essay is an exploration of this articulation; attention to the history and mechanics of the hybrid spaces created by geographic information systems like FluNet and EpiSims provides both an investigation of the knowledge produced by these systems and a case study of the ways in which media negotiate complex problems of scale. Such negotiation, as we will see, is crucial to how these systems build, naturalize, and govern fundamentally speculative environments.
Scale and Security
The totalizing vision of geographical information systems is made possible by the density of their perceptual fields. Concerned with tracking and visualizing epidemiological and virological data as well as infrastructural and geological topologies, FluNet and EpiSimS allows users (public or private) to create maps that layer the networks of bodies, institutions, and transportation and communication technologies through which viruses and information about viruses travel.[6] In FluNet, for example, users can add a wide variety of layers to geopolitical base maps. They can select "Indicators" to be displayed, which include the distribution of certain communicable and noncommunicable diseases, the distribution of human resources for health like community and traditional health workers and nursing personnel, and world health statistics on risk factors and basic demographic information. Users can also select which "Core Layers" they would like to display; these include information about infrastructures like roads, ports, and health and education services and information on the location of natural features and water services. Similarly, EpiSimS creates regional maps that include geopolitical features like county and city borders and highway systems, and epidemiological information like the spread of disease or rate of infection. In this way, FluNet and EpiSimS map the molecular level of viral infection onto densely layered regional, national, and global scales. The base unit of measurement in these maps is that of population distributed across a regional or national space, and, importantly, across a certain amount of time; relations of contagion and transmission — incidences of infection, for example — are mapped at the level of the population contained within geopolitical boundaries and the standardized space and time of the coordinate grid. These maps, then, create hybrid spaces composed of aggregate human-nonhuman interactions and scales organized around a densely layered and totalizing perceptual field.

Figure 2. EpiSimS influenza map. Source: "NISAC Tools: EpiSimS"[8]
In this way, geographic information systems are certainly technologies of what Foucault calls governmentality, or "governmental management, which has population as its main target and apparatuses of security as its essential mechanism."[9] Apparatuses of security rely not on the prohibition of events but rather on the calculation of their probability and the regulation of their occurrence, the two main functions of both FluNet and EpiSimS. Dealing with what is given or factual, such apparatuses "work within reality, by getting the components of reality to work in relation to each other, thanks to and through a series of analyses and specific arrangements."[10] This involves equating the molecular scale of viral infection to regional, national, or global scales, or mapping them both within the same standardized space and time through statistical analyses. These GIS are apparatuses of security that manipulate a vast range of scales so that they occur on the same plane; the densely-layered fields of vision that comprise these spaces are made to appear flattened and total. Due to the relatively long amount of time they represent — a day, week, month, year — the maps simultaneously position past duration as instantaneous and future time as probabilistic. Security, then, is fundamentally related to the manipulation of many different spatial and temporal scales so they can appear within the same environment.
Constructing Disease Environments
This kind of manipulation has, historically, been the combined project of medical geography and, later, epidemiology. The emergence of the field of medical geography, most often associated with the publication in 1792 of two volumes of German physician Leonhard Ludwig Finke's three-volume Versuch einer allgemeinen medicinisch-praktischen Geographie (An Attempt at a General Medical-Practical Geography), largely regarded as the first major medical geography text, was in part made possible by a miasmatic theory of disease (from miasma, Greek for "contamination"). A precursor to the germ theory of disease, this theory understood disease to be caused by the noxious air of particular places. It can be traced as far back as Hippocrates in Western medicine, and it prevailed as the dominant understanding in the West of how disease was caused and transmitted until the end of the nineteenth century. In miasmatic theory, contamination rather than contagion was the dominant model of disease transmission: it was not people but rather places that were sick and that could transmit disease. As a result, "the focus of medical attention consequently shifted away from anatomy to ecology, from the study of the body as the locus of disease to the analysis of the disease-bearing aspects of physical environments."[11] Medical geography made possible, then, "a radical medicalization of global space: the mapping of the entire world in terms of disease."[12] This project was important, among other things, to the British colonial project and the legacy of public health practices the British left behind in their former colonies.[13]
What we see in the history of medical geography, unsurprisingly, is an emphasis on the spatial environments in which diseases occur and through which they spread. Even from the mid- to late-nineteenth century, after the germ theory of disease was largely accepted, the relationship of disease to place remained paramount in the new discipline of epidemiology. London physician John Snow's well-known maps of the 1852 cholera outbreak are, in this way, a kind of turning point. Published in 1854 and 1855, these extraordinarily rigorous distribution maps, dependent on the increasingly common use of statistics in epidemiology, demonstrate the incidence of cholera infection occurring in London's Broad Street neighborhood. Using these maps, Snow pointed to the cause of the cholera outbreak: a pump used by many Broad Street residents was infected with cholera by a sewage pipe discharging its contents next to the pump well. This insight "served to critique, at least implicitly, the miasmatic theory of airborne disease, which, if correct, [Snow] noted, would result in a uniform pattern of incidence rather than the intense variations he had observed street by street and house by house."[14] These intense variations were due to the differences in the places where residents and businesses obtained their water; Snow's maps thus pointed to the idea that cholera was a waterborne, not an airborne or place-specific disease. No longer associated with depicting specific places as the determinant cause of disease, as miasmatic theories of disease would have it, Snow's maps pointed instead to the statistical correlations between diseases and places. Such probabilistic calculations, again, highlight the spatial distribution of diseases throughout a particular time or times, or the patterns in which diseases spread or diffuse through the environment.
This shift evidences a different understanding of what constitutes an "environment." Like Snow's maps, FluNet's maps relate the health of particular populations to the spaces they inhabit. In other words, through this negotiation of a vast range of scales, they create hybrid human-nonhuman spaces that enfold individuals and population, population and place. To use Nigel Thrift's terminology, their "content is the bending of bodies-with-environments";[15] they blur distinctions between bodies and their environments, creating new techno-biopolitical spaces of viral infection, information and transportation networks, and geopolitical boundaries. Composed of data that is both individual and aggregate, both mobile and singularly locatable within a standardized coordinate grid, these paradoxical maps are of course highly artificial and unnatural representations. They are maps of mathematical models concerning actual disease distribution and spread over a certain amount of actual time; in other words, they attempt to project the real-time transformation of data within the space of a static representation.
Yet these maps also evidence a kind of "re-naturalization" of constructed spaces. As Thrift writes, "increasingly, the 'artificial' environment is sentient and has the feel of a set of 'natural' forces blowing this way and that."[16] Nowhere is this more evident than in the environments created by FluNet. As we see in Fig. 1, certain places are "sicker" than others; there are no distinctions made between the sick population of a particular country — measured using the number and type of influenza virus subtypes occurring in a particular country — and its geopolitical characteristics. Bodies are enfolded, automatically and according to the parameters of the system, into the country in which they reside; the rate and spread of infection is represented according to paradoxically "natural" — because they are representative of reality and because they occur automatically, according to the parameters of the system — calculations. Such an understanding of environment emphasizes spaces of interaction, spaces where time continually unfolds, over totalizing vision. While FluNet is a primary tool of disease surveillance, the spaces it creates can also be seen as stages on which new and unanticipated interactions may take place. By emphasizing what such maps perform — the spatial formations and enfoldings they enact and anticipate — rather than what they represent, we are perhaps confronted with a different mode of governance, a mode more speculative than representational.
Performing the Unknown
The models created using EpiSimS are evidence of this mode. These maps are performances, created according to the rules of the simulation. The maps of the spread of pandemic influenza in southern California, for example, were created using population data from the 2000 census. The population modeled consisted of 18.8 million individuals living in 6.3 million households, with an additional 938,000 locations representing actual schools, businesses, shops, or restaurant addresses.[17] Each person or agent in the simulation was given a schedule of activities to do during the day, comprised of nine possible activities: home, work, shopping, visiting, social recreation, passenger server, school, college, and other. As the agents went about their days, they encountered one another at various locations, which were further divided into rooms or mixing groups; disease transmission could only occur between agents who occupied the same room of a location at the same time, but not all agents who happened to be at the same location at the same time were close enough to transmit disease. Infected agents could pass through fourteen possible disease states, and because "the epidemiology of the future influenza virus [was] not known" and would "not be known until it emerge[d]," the "influenza disease model [was] based on historical data and previous epidemic models."[18] In other words, the types of disease states through which agents passed — non-infectious incubation, pre-symptomatic infectious, symptomatic-infectious, asymptomatic-infectious, etc. — and how long they remained in these states was calculated using historical data on pandemic influenza. These maps, then, evidence not only the bending of bodies-with-environments and the re-naturalization of these environments, but also a mode of knowledge built on speculation, on the extrapolation of known events and data from the past or present into the future.
Such practices are part of a larger historical shift in how the U.S. government practices security, precipitating an emphasis on preparedness and resilience by emphasizing how to prepare for and respond to the catastrophic. Andrew Lakoff is paradigmatic of those scholars who have investigated this shift, emphasizing what he terms vital systems security. This form of security, which he traces back to the United States government's practice of civil defense in the mid-twentieth century at the beginning of the Cold War, is concerned with a particular kind of threat, a threat that is potentially catastrophic yet fundamentally unknowable because its probability and form cannot be calculated. This kind of security focuses not on "the national territory or the population but rather the critical systems that underpin social and economic life."[19] Vital systems security does not develop knowledge about a foreign enemy or about regularly occurring events; rather, it "uses techniques of imaginative enactment to generate knowledge about system vulnerabilities."[20] Speculation, then, is its mode of knowing. Vital systems security stresses a rationality of preparedness in which catastrophic scenarios are imagined and enacted in order to seek out weaknesses in certain critical systems infrastructures. Because this rationality of preparedness does not deal with the calculation of future probable events but rather with events that are incalculable and as likely to happen at one time as they are at another, like pandemic influenza, "preparedness does not prescribe avoidance…. [it] does not seek to prevent the occurrence of a disastrous event but rather assumes that the event will happen."[21] A rationality of preparedness "enacts a vision of the dystopian future" in order to expose system vulnerabilities and attempt to mitigate them in preparation for the occurrence of the very dystopian future it simulates.[22] The rationality of preparedness that is taken up in vital systems security is concerned with the simulation of future catastrophic events, events it sees not merely as probable but instead as certain.
EpiSimS is a simulation engine created exactly for this purpose; built and operated by trained officials at NISAC, it produces expert knowledge about how public health officials can prepare themselves, their staff, and the infrastructures and information networks of which they are a part for pandemic influenza. Using historical data, it simulates infectious disease pandemics not in order to prevent them from emerging but rather in order to prepare for their occurrence. The calculations it performs shift past probabilistic data on rates of infection and disease distribution into a simulated future that is also of course unfolding in the present. In this way, although they are based on the probability that future epidemics will behave like those in the past, EpiSimS nevertheless operates outside the realm of probability. Its form of knowledge production is speculative, a type of partial knowledge that, in its managerial forms, obscures its own conjectural modes. It maps the future as a series of unknowns naturalized as probabilities, it predicts always-coming possible harm, and it enacts worst-case scenarios to try to bring what are fundamentally spectacular projections under the rubric of the known. EpiSimS, then, points not to surveillance as a mode of governance but rather to speculation. The future, so it can be known, is mapped according to data from the past, and the present time of the simulation is projected at once backward to the past and forward to the future. Time is not frozen in a static representation but rather extrapolated backwards and forwards. Maps built with EpiSimS are not so much representations of reality as they are performances of possible future realities based on the past; they are constructed environments literally built on interaction that feel, once they are enacted, all too familiar, natural and inevitable — as if they had happened before.
FluNet and EpiSimS, as two modes of disease surveillance, point to the complicated ways in which media like GIS engage with issues of spatial and temporal scales. This engagement is important not only to a consideration of the kinds of environments these media construct, but also to a consideration of the modes of governance they produce and within which they operate. While much work on GIS and disease surveillance has focused on the representational strategies of these systems — the ways in which they represent the world in order to survey it — this essay has, in part, been a speculation on their performative nature. Concerned with the enactment of the unknown, these geographical information systems emphasize changing conceptions of what it means to interact with one's environment, and at what scale. For the institutions discussed here such interaction is increasingly speculative. Borrowing from the realm of fiction, such concrete imaginings of the future play out daily in the hybrid environments built by these geographic information systems.

[5] Eugene Thacker writes, "The challenges put forth in this tension between 'control' and 'emergence' are not just technical problems, but are challenges that raise ontological as well as political questions. From the network perspective, case studies like the 2003 SARS epidemic look very much like a centralized information network counter-acting a decentralized biological network. The WHO's outbreak response network coordinated the exchange of data through network servers and conference calls, and health advisories could then radiate from this central node. By contrast, SARS infection was maximized by moving through the highly-connected nodes of airports and hotels. The strategy of DSNs, then, is to canalize transmission in order to fight the decentralization of contagion. If an epidemic is 'successful' at its goals of replication and spread, then it gradually becomes a distributed network, in which any node of the network may infect any other node."

One of the distinctive characteristics of imperial medicine, I would argue, was its mapping of the world, both at the level of localities and larger global territories, in terms of 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' environments. … Medical geography provided the scientific rationale for making colonial ecologies more like those of Europe, for introducing European methods of land use, social organization, and resource management.

Alan and the Strange Light
Working in traditional black and white film, Michael Weisbrot tells the decades-long story of his nephew Alan and his family as they struggle with Alan's serious illness, medical neglect, and institutional indifference. The work is an intimate personal diary, as well as an indictment of our health care and human services systems. Michael Weisbrot has used his photography to create a powerful work that stands alone as art and as a celebration of love, spirit, and family.
The Maverick Festival
This on-line exhibition focuses on the Maverick Festival of Woodstock, an annual Bohemian carnival that was founded by Hervey White in 1915 and that ran until 1931. This exhibition presents 49 vintage photographs out of some 130 vintage photographs and other memorabilia documenting the Festival that were assembled by Jean Gaede and Fritzi Striebel of Woodstock in order to chronicle the Maverick Art Colony.
American Scenery: Different Views in Hudson River School Painting
The Hudson River School, considered by many to be the first truly American school of landscape painting, flourished between 1825 and 1875. In this exhibition 114 paintings from a remarkble private collection are arranged in series so the viewer can see how 3 different generations of artists of the Hudson River School interpreted the majestic American landscape.
Asian Art in the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art
The arts of Asia comprise the largest category of non-western art in the collection of the SDMA. The works range in date from the 2nd millenium B. C. to the later 20th century and are representative of the arts of Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria. Prints, painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, metals, and books make up the collection.
African Art in the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art
The works in this exhibition represent the tangible expression of the deeply-rooted spiritual beliefs and ancient mythologies of the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa. As varied as the 47 countries that comprise present sub-Saharan Africa with its clans, tribes, and kingdoms that have existed for millennia, what we call the arts of Africa collectively speak of a profound relationship to the family, the environment, and the cosmos.
Provenience Unknown!
Illegal Excavations Destroy the Archaeological Heritage
This exhibition was originally created as a documentary panel exhibition about the illicit traffic of cultural property in South Italy. This on-line version was adapted from the work of Daniel Graepler and Marina Mazzei and produced collaboratively by the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art.
Puerto Rican Posters from the SDMA Collection, 1952-1983
The posters that make up this exhibition were produced between 1953 and 1982. Displayed within the urban and rural landscapes of Puerto Rico, they were used to advocate for political action, cultural awareness, and social, educational, and health issues.

Aloe abyssinica - Exotic Succulent - 4 Seeds
Seeds for Africa
Sorry, this item is out of stock
Aloe is a genus containing about 500 species of flowering succulent plants. The most common and well known of these is Aloe vera, or "true aloe". The genus is native to Africa, and is common in South Africa's Cape Province, the mountains of tropical Africa, and neighbouring areas such as Madagascar, the Arabian peninsula, and the islands of Africa. Most Aloe species have a rosette of large, thick, fleshy leaves. The leaves are often lance-shaped with a sharp apex and a spiny margin. Aloe flowers are tubular, frequently yellow, orange, pink or red, and are borne, densely clustered and pendant, at the apex of simple or branched, leafless stems.

SCIAF (Caritas Scotland) Policy Officer Jo O'Neill reflects on a unique conference on faith communities attempts to tackle climate change and Poland's first ever Climate Mass.
The world of climate talks is a new one to me. It is a process perhaps best known for its complexity and breath-taking use of acronyms (there are talks on the ADP, NAMAS, SBSTA, BINGOs and BAP and the list goes on).
But outside of the conference centre, our Catholic network CIDSE was holding a conference exploring the reality of climate change for people living in poverty and how faith communities are challenging it.
Delegates from Africa, Asia and Latin America explained the devastating impacts of changes on communities in their countries. In Niger, rising temperatures are causing real problems for small-scale famers, already living in poverty. "We have the right to be heard at these talks" said Sabine Attama from Caritas Niger, "climate change is destroying the dignity of people".
As Yeb Sano, the Filipino representative at the talks, continued his fast, super-typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines has reminded us of the horrific human cost of extreme weather and on Tuesday the World Bank reported on the enormous economic costs.
In Poland's first ever Climate Mass on Sunday evening, Cardinal Nycz reflected on the damage being caused to the planet and prayed for creation. But there was a clear message from the Mass; we are not just stewards of creation, we are part of creation.
"We have built a plastic world around ourselves" said Reverend Lukas at the CIDSE conference. "We live as if we are the last generation to inhabit the earth". The spiritual connection to creation he argued, was being lost in many richer nations. Rebuilding this connection is urgently needed if we are to stop damage to the planet.
The responsibility of richer nations to lead on climate action is at the heart of the climate talks themselves. If we are to address the devastating changes being experienced by people living in poverty rich countries must commit to reducing their damage to the planet.
Faith communities were a key part of the movement that pushed for strong Scottish Government action on climate change. The result was not just a world-leading Climate Change Act but a Climate Justice Fund, which is helping communities adapt to the challenges of climate change.
In Warsaw, faith communities are working together to remind politicians of the human cost of the climate change. It is crucial that they listen.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) Derek Carr threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns, and Robbie Rouse eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing for the third straight season as Fresno State defeated Hawaii 45-10 in the 200th game at Bulldog Stadium.
Carr threw first-half touchdown passes of 8, 47, 45 and 31 yards while completing 15 of 23 passes for the Bulldogs (7-3, 5-1 Mountain West), who led 42-3 at halftime and improved to 5-0 at home this season. Rouse, the school's all-time rushing leader, ran for 102 yards and a 51-yard touchdown on 13 carries to give him 1,101 yards this season. The senior is the first Fresno State player to surpass 1,000 yards in three seasons.
Hawaii (1-7, 0-5), which lost its sixth straight, got its only points on a 49-yard field goal by Tyler Hadden in the second quarter and a 5-yard run by Jeremy Higgins late in the fourth.

Bellerose traces its roots back to 1906, when a Massachusetts real estate developer named Helen M. Marsh purchased 77 acres of gladiola fields in Long Island for $155,000. Ms. Marsh dreamed of developing a model community which contained modestly priced homes. In the Panic of 1907, the mortgage on one of the properties was called and Ms. Marsh pledged $50,000 of her own securities to prevent foreclosure.
Construction on the first home began in 1910. Ms. Marsh lived in this home while supervising construction on the remaining properties. She worked with an architect to lay out streets and houses around circular flower bed islands. During a drought, she was known to drive around the neighborhood watering the plants and in the wintertime, she also went from home to home to keep the furnaces burning.
Transportation was already provided by the Long Island Railroad at the nearby Floral Park and Trolley service along Jericho Turnpike. In 1911, Ms. Marsh convinced the LIRR to build a station in Bellerose.
In 1917, the property owners ratified the name of "Bellerose". According to some sources, the name derives from the Rose farm that was found south of the area and their daughter "Belle". Ms. Marsh always replied that she chose the name merely because it sounded "euphonious".
Today, there are three communities with the name Bellerose —the Queens section of Bellerose, and the Incorporated Village of Bellerose and Bellerose Terrace, which are both part of Nassau County. Bellerose, Queens, is bordered by Little Neck Parkway on the East, Grand Central Parkway on the West, the Creedmoor State Hospital grounds on the north and Braddock and Jamaica Avenues on the south. Bellerose Queens is known for the state-run Queens Children's Psychiatric Center and the New York City-owned, but privately operated Queens County Farm Museum.
In recent years, Bellerose continues to grow and thrive. According to the 2000 census, the population was 18,687 comprised of Irish, Italian, German, Polish, Scottish, Hispanic, Asian Indians, Filipino and Chinese. One example of the diversity of Bellerose can be seen from the different Southeast Asian shops and grocery stores that have opened around the community.
The Bellerose Library opened its doors on February 27, 1978 with Ms. Jean Dickerson as the Branch Library Manager, a small staff, 20,000 books and various periodicals on order. The idea of opening a branch library in Bellerose was conceived in 1975 and accomplished through the work of local community leaders and civic leaders, including then-State Senator Frank Padavan, Councilman Matt Troy, Jr. and Borough President Donald R. Manes.

CHICAGO—An 87-year-old grandmother took on billionaire Donald Trump. And on Thursday, she lost.
Jurors sided with the real estate mogul-turned-TV showman in a weeklong civil trial focused on Jacqueline Goldberg's claim that Trump cheated her in a condo bait-and-switch scheme.
The federal jury in Chicago returned with a finding in Trump's favour. Goldberg, of Evanston, Ill., had sought various damages totalling around $6 million (U.S.).
Goldberg herself showed little emotion but her attorney, Shelly Kulwin, slumped over and buried his head on a courtroom table. Trump's attorney Stephen Novack smiled and nodded his head in gratitude at the jury.
The case pitted the suburban Chicago woman against a New Yorker who revels in his image as a big talker with big ideas. Many know him best for his catchphrase on his Apprentice TV show: "You're fired!"
In sarcasm-filled closings, Kulwin described Trump in stark, extreme terms — as villainous and greedy. Trump wasn't in court, but Kulwin displayed a giant photograph of Trump.
"The thought of my grandma being in the same room with that guy. Yuck!" Kulwin boomed.
The dispute centred on the glitzy Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, one of several showcase towers Trump has named after himself.
Goldberg accused Trump of wooing her into buying two condos at $1 million apiece in the mid-2000s by dangling a promise of share in building profits — then reneging on the promise after she committed to buying.
At trial, Novack grappled with the portrayal of Goldberg as a former waitress and hat-check girl who learned her values living through the Depression and working her way through college.
He told jurors in his closing he also loved grandmothers, saying, "I happen to be married to one."
But, he added, Goldberg was also a sophisticated, detail-oriented investor who signed a contract stipulating Trump could do what he did: cancel the profit-sharing plan anytime he saw fit.
An often-scowling Trump spent two days testifying himself, bragging about the quality of his developments, verbally sparring with an opposing attorney and drawing rebukes from the judge.
On the stand, Trump denied he ever cheated anyone. Off it, he blasted the woman who brought him there, telling reporters he was the victim, not her. He declared, "She's trying to rip me off."
Goldberg isn't the first to complain about a Trump development.
Lawsuits sprung up last year between unhappy investors in Toronto's Trump International Hotel & Tower and its developers, Talon International Inc.
And dozens of investors in Las Vegas' five-year-old Trump International Hotel & Tower sued Trump, alleging he manufactured "a purchasing frenzy" to get them to buy in before the property market collapsed.
An arbiter, though, sided with Trump in 2011, and U.S. District Judge Gloria M. Navarro in Las Vegas later refused the disgruntled investors' request to nullify the arbitration finding.
When Goldberg took the stand herself after Trump, she told jurors she initially had qualms about suing such an influential figure. But she added, "Somebody had to stand up to him."
Goldberg told jurors it was Trump's very star power that initially drew her toward investing with him. But it was the profit-sharing proposal that, for her, sealed the deal, she said.
During his testimony, Trump kept talking over Kulwin while Kulwin kept rolling his eyes at Trump's answers, prompting Judge Amy St. Eve to order both men to "stop boxing each other" and behave.
Trump's testimony offered a rare inside look at the business style of the 66-year-old who scrutinizes the competence of contestants carrying out management tasks on his TV show.
He told jurors that he signed every business check in his organization. He also said he couldn't remember when key business decisions were made because he and his top executives aren't in the habit of taking notes.
City pride also intervened at one point in closings when Kulwin made an unfavourable reference to executives in New York.
"Judge, he's mocking New York," Trump's attorney said, standing to object.
"I can't mock New York?" Kulwin shot back. "I thought it was every Chicagoans right to do that."

McALLEN � A 40-year-old Mexican national convicted of drug trafficking and for assaulting a federal agent during a high speed chase has been sentenced to 144 months in prison, U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced today. U.S. District Judge Randy Crane sentenced Martin Gonzalez-Ramirez late yesterday and was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $1,952.28.
According to the record of the case, on May 25, 2011, U.S. Border Patrol agents attempted to stop a vehicle being driven by Gonzalez-Ramirez traveling north from the Rio Grande River at a high rate of speed near Rio Grande City, Texas. During the chase, he cut through a convenience store parking lot in an attempt to elude law enforcement and intentionally "rammed" a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle.
The defendant then reversed his vehicle and continued to flee from agents until his vehicle became disabled approximately 500 yards from the collision. After a short foot chase, Gonzalez-Ramirez became combative with agents and attempted to take the agent's weapon. The agent did not sustain serious injuries as a result of the collision or subsequent foot chase and contact with the defendant.
Upon search of the vehicle the defendant was driving, agents discovered several bundles of marijuana which weighed approximately 144 kilograms in the passenger compartment of the vehicle and in the bed of the truck. Gonzalez-Ramirez later admitted to being paid to transport the marijuana from the river to another location in Hidalgo County. Gonzalez-Ramirez pleaded guilty July 20, 2011.
During sentencing, Judge Crane took into consideration the defendant's prior criminal record which included felony marijuana possession and assaulting a police officer. Gonzalez-Ramirez has been in federal custody since his arrest and will remain in custody pending transfer to a Bureau of Prisons facility to be designated in the near future where he will serve out his sentence.
This investigation leading to the charges was conducted by the U.S. Border Patrol with the assistance of the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant United States Attorney Cory J.H. Crenshaw prosecuted the case.

text: The head of the Arab League has asked the UN Security Council to boost the size of a UN mission in Syria and give it expanded powers to protect people following a surge in violence there, according to a letter leaked to media outlets on Friday. Images of the bloodied bodies of children and others massacred in the city of Houla in attacks blamed on President Bashar al-Assad's forces have shocked the world and highlighted the failure of a six-week-old UN-backed ceasefire plan to stop the violence in the 14-month uprising against Assad's rule. Nabil Elaraby, secretary-general of the Arab League, condemned the attacks in a letter to the Security Council. "I therefore urge you to move quickly to end all acts of violence taking place in Syria, and to take the necessary measures to protect Syrian civilians, including increasing the number of international monitors and allowing them the necessary powers to put a stop to the violations and crimes being committed," Elaraby said in the letter. Elaraby, who has said the violence was intended to undercut a truce brokered by international mediator Kofi Annan that never took hold, is struggling to keep alive Annan's six-point peace plan and avert full-scale civil war in Syria. Security Council diplomats in New York said they received the letter, although it was not immediately clear how they would react. Calls for investigation The latest diplomatic development came as Aleppo, Syria's second city, saw on Friday its largest protests since the country's uprising began in March 2012. Amateur footage posted online by activists showed anti-government protesters being dispersed before they reached the city centre. Meanwhile, the UN Human Rights Council has condemned Syria for last week's massacre in the Houla region and called for a UN investigation to identify the perpetrators and gather evidence for possible criminal prosecution. The 47-member forum, which held an emergency session in Geneva, adopted a resolution on Friday by a vote of 41 states in favour to three against - China, Cuba and Russia - with two abstentions and one delegation absent. The resolution was put forward by Qatar, Turkey and the US amid international outrage at the killing of 108 people, nearly half of them children, in Houla a week ago. Speaking to Al Jazeera from Geneva, Laura Dupuy Lasserre, the permanent representative of Uruguay to the UN and also the president of the Human Rights Council, said the council holds the Syrian government responsible for the violence in Houla. "The council in its resolution understands that pro-regime elements and Syrian govenrment artillery and tank shelling were used against residential neighbourhoods. That means: attacking the civilian population," Dupuy Lasserre said. "Nevertheless, it reiterates that all violence in all its forms by all parties must seize as well." The 193-nation UN General Assembly is planning to meet next Thursday to discuss the escalating crisis in Syria and the Houla massacre.International mediator Kofi Annan and Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, are expected to address the assembly, UN diplomats told the Reuters news agency. Annan will also speak to the 15-nation UN Security Council that day about the lack of progress implementing his six-point peace plan. Syrian rejection Syria's delegation at the Human Rights Council accused "terrorists" of carrying out the killings - its term for anti-government fighters - and rejected the text as politically motivated interference. It said its own investigation was under way. "The perpetrators will be brought to the courts and will not go unpunished," Syrian diplomat Tamim Madani told the meeting before the vote. "Voting for this resolution is tantamount to killing the victims again." Pillay said Syrian forces and pro-government armed men accused of committing the slaughter could face prosecution for crimes against humanity, in a speech read out on her behalf. She again called for the Security Council to refer Syria to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. But Russia and China, which dismissed the text as "unbalanced", said that UN observers were already investigating the massacre and there was no need for duplication. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, warned on Friday of an "extremely dangerous" situation in Syria but rejected military intervention as he met with Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, in Berlin. Hours later, in a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande, Putin said "sanctions hardly ever work in an efficient manner" and indicating that Assad's departure would not in itself resolve the crisis. "What is happening in Libya? What is happening in Iraq? Has it become safer there?" he said in Paris. "We propose to act in an accurate, balanced manner at least in Syria." But Hollande kept up the pressure for decisive action, insisting that Assad's departure was "a prerequisite for a political transition" and that "there must be sanctions" against his regime. "Bashar al-Assad's regime has conducted itself in an unacceptable and intolerable manner. It has committed acts that disqualify itself" from governing, said Hollande.

Recently, while staying with a friend who had just gotten out of the hospital, I was exposed to a good deal of TV. Two shows caught my attention: Downton Abbey (more on that later) and Person of Interest, which runs on CBS on Thursday nights. At first, I thought Person of Interest might merely serve to tide me over until the next seasons of Burn Notice and Breaking Bad.

text: Long before she rocked purple hair, Demi Lovato rocked out with the world's most famous purple dinosaur. She spent two seasons alongside her childhood best friend Selena Gomez in the late 1990s on "Barney & Friends." Like Gomez, she eventually moved on to entertaining tweens on the Disney Channel. She started with shorts between shows, moved on to the 2008 Jonas Brothers vehicle "Camp Rock," and in 2009 got her own series, "Sonny With a Chance," and did "Princess Protection Program" with Gomez. In 2008, she released her first CD, Don't Forget, which featured the Jo Bros. After months of speculation, she admitted to dating Joe Jonas in early 2010, but they were over by May despite still being on tour together. After a fight with a dancer on the road that November, she pulled out of the tour, checked into a treatment center, had a nervous breakdown, fought an addiction to cutting and anorexia/bulimia, and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She has since also come clean about her drug and alcohol abuse. Eight months after release in 2011, she put out her third record, Unbroken and successful single "Skyscraper" while rebounding romantically with Wilmer Valderrama, 12 years her senior. She spent 2012 judging and mentoring young hopefuls on Fox's "X Factor." In 2013, she released a self-help book called "Staying Strong 365 Days A Year."

Name Games: 10 Famous Battles Over Corporate Trademarks
The rules of power say you must protect your reputation --even if that means squashing Sam Buck or "TeachBook."
Equally engaging are the stories of coincidences, which is probably how Budweiser found it had a doppelganger based in Europe just a few years after its 1876 launch. But how did it happen that Steve Jobs named his company Apple when Apple Records already existed? And in 2009, did John Catsimatidis, owner of a New York supermarket chain, really think he could away with opening a store called "Trader John's"?
Nina Beckhardt, President and Creative Director at The Naming Group in New York, cautions young companies to heed these tales of legal woes. "Take your time at the beginning," says Beckhardt. If you can't hire a consulting firm like hers, see a trademark lawyer at the very least, no matter how excited you are to just get started. "It's not worth it to go with a name because you want it just to find two years later that some big corporation has taken note and says you're infringing on their trademark. Their large pocketbook will win out over your desire to have the name you love."
|Budweiser vs. Budweiser
The "King of Beers" has an army of lawyers defending its American name.

Food Rationing
Can you remember rationing in Britain during and after the Second World War?
Here is a link on the subject - from the Science Museum in London
My maternal grandparents, especially my grandmother, frequently mentioned rationing. As she grew older, my grandmother Dorothy sometimes forgot that rationing had ended. She would often wonder when she would be able to have "best butter" again.
My mother can remember the end of sweet rationing in 1953 and how wonderful it was for her as a little girl. Even today, my mother can sometimes become very excited in an old fashioned sweet shop.
Perhaps I should not write about food at the moment as I am feeling hungry myself. It is time for my breakfast!
2 comments:
Sometimes I think rationing is a blessing. Just watch all the food we take, yet don't eat, and the food we eat, but don't really want. Rationing teaches us to appreciate good things when we get them.ReplyDelete
Hello Free Genealogy GuideReplyDelete
From my own research about rationing (as it was in Britain in the Second World War), I gain the impression that it meant that good, healthy food was shared more equally than ever before. The limited supply of food provided a different set of social values - a valuing of the importance of a balanced diet in a healthy life and a healthy society.
Rationing may have been an inconvenience, particularly for people who had always had an abundance of food before the war, but the policy created a boost to morale in times of great uncertainty. Richer people could still go to restaurants, however, which were, as far as I am aware, not subject to the same rationing restrictions as grocery shops.
With rationing, people were given information about nutrition, and how to make the most of a few basic ingredients. It is something people may not be learning today when they just pick up items on impulse in supermarkets, expect huge portions of food in restaurants, or fail to understand the meaning of "enough".
I wonder what the obesity level would be if people practice "self-rationing". This is especially worth thinking about when there may be food shortages (and a rationing of health services) in the future.
The shortage, or expense of food, has often affected communities in the past, and shortages and rising prices of food are still in evidence in conflict zones and areas of economic instability today.
Appreciation is one of the best things in life - and I appreciate your comments on this blog. Thank you.
Best wishes, Via
