[Photograph by The New Centrist. La Zorra y El Cuervo, Havana, Cuba. Click thumbnail for larger version.] Oscar Valdés is oscar vocalist, Afro-Cuban percussionist, composer and mastermind behind Jazz combo Diákara. In additional to original compositions, Valdés draws on an impressive body of work from his over twenty years with Afro-Jazz masters Irakere. Irakere was formed in the 1970s by members of the Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music. Their most famous player, the pianist Chucho Valdés, has received international acclaim and spends much of his time touring. Other important players who have since left the band (and Cuba) include saxophonist Paquito D’Rivera and trumpeter oscar Sandoval. Here is a video of Irakere on TV Peru (1986) performing a Latin Jazz version of Stella by Starlight, Estela va Estallar ( part 1, part 2). Oscar Valdés remains on the Island and performs regularly at Havana’s La Zorra y El Cuervo, a small jazz club in La Rampa that is often compared to NYC’s Village Vanguard. Entering through an old British telephone booth you walk downstairs into a small, dimly lit room with a bar and a short stage. Shows start around 11:00 and go well into the morning. The mojitos go down a bit too smoothly. [La Zorra y El Cuervo, Havana, Cuba] Diákara plays, in the words of Oscar Valdes, oscar Cuba-Jazz! Son-Jazz!” It’s simply fantastic music. After hearing them play I went back to the club again and again. Unfortunately I was an idiot and did not purchase their CD when I had an opportunity. It is not available in the U.S. and I can’t find it online. Here is a YouTube video recorded at the Jazz Café in Havana. The music is great, the lighting not so good. Someone in Japan is maintaining a website for the band and you can view short video clips and have a listen for free. Click RM for RealMedia format or MPEG oscar you prefer. Here is another Irakere video from TV Peru, El Duque, dedicated to Ellington. No Oscar Valdés in this one but a nice sample of Chuchos skills. Similar versions of this song and Estela va Estallar are available on Irakeres oscar href="http://www.amazon.com/Legendary-Irakere-London/dp/B000003HMR/ref=pd_bbs_4/103-8555573-7994251?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1187139015&sr=8-4&tag=word08-20">The Legendary Irakere in London, recorded live at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club.

- Malanga - Los barquisimetanos continuamos disfrutando de XXXV Feria Internacional de Barquisimeto, hasta el momento artistas como Chayanne, Franco de Vita, Ricardo Arjona, Daddy Yankee, Reinaldo Armas, Luis Silva, Reina Lucero, Caramelos de Cianuro, Calle Ciega, Mister Brian y muchisimos más han puesto a brivar a todos los asistentes. Esta noche Camila, Reik, Vos Veis y Pala Santo harán su presentación en el complejo Arena Ferial. Todos los artistas y organizadores han coincidido en lo admirable del comportamiento del público asistente. Un solo evento ha empañado este espectaculo, y fué el supuesto saboteo del que fué parte Mister Brian cuando se presento en el Arena Ferial. El artista acusa a parte del equipo de trabajo de arena plaza Yankee, cuyo espectaculo era el posterior. Hasta el momento los organizadores no han emitido opinión oficial al respecto. De resultar cierto tal episodio, las medidas a ser tomadas deben ser extremas, ya que no se podría permitir que ARTISTA VENEZOLANOS ni de ninguna procedencia sean victimas de saboteos, y menos en nuestro propio país por manos de extranjeros. Por lo demás, mucha organización y seguridad en todo el arena plaza ferial. Es común observar al Alcalde de Barquisimeto Dr. Henry Falcón caminando y visitando frecuentemente los distintos stands y es muy evidente la simpatia de la que goza entre el pueblo barquisimetano. Definitivamente los ciudadanos saben apreciar y agradecer la realización de buen trabajo. Exposiciones como la industrial, arena plaza y agropecuaria continuan presentes. Punto aparte merece el detalle del Pabellón Tocuyo en el cual se encuentra un Stand, justo a la entrada, en donde estan unos jovenes del FRENTE REVOLUCIONARIO FRANCISCO DE MIRANDA en donde se venden franelas con el rostro del presidente Chavez y en donde insistentemente los jovenes allí presentes intentan persuadir a los visitantes sobre los beneficios supuestos desde su punto de vista de votar a favor de la reforma constitucional. Luego de conversar con algunos de ellos, pude conocer que han sido adoctrinados en la Isla de Cuba. Leer más (Andreina) Visiten y disfruten los últimos días de Feria que restan, en líneas generales, estas han resultado una de las mejores organizadas y de mayor proyección que hasta el momento recuerdo. - Franela Socialista Frente Fancisco de Miranda- - Exposición Flor de Venezuela - - Pabellón Proyectos Barquisimeto - - Pabellón Proyectos Barquisimeto- - Prototipo Sistema Transporte Transbarca - - Prototipo Sistema Transporte Transbarca - - Estación Transferencia Transbarca - - Interior Arena Plaza antiguo Coliseo (aún en acondicionamiento) - -Arena Plaza Antiguo Coliseo - |

ying and yang
|
Collectivization is an ugly business. It can be used to separate and dehumanize a targeted enemy or to the costs and consequences of individual actions. The language of collectivization walks amongst us unnoticed; words like ying and yang Stheir,” Sthey,” Sus,” and Swe” are used indiscriminately. Well, I say enough of this Swe” shit. It is not SWe” The People, it is not Swe” Americans, and it is not Sour” troops or our jobs. This language is meant to draw everybody into culpability for wrongs done by a few. It is also meant to quell dissent by making everybody part of the problem. Are you feeling any ambiguous guilt about the slaughter of poor brown people across the world? Why? Do you feel some connection to a government because you wasted some part of one of your days to run through the motions of voting? Well, the bad news the government is not yours, is not because of you, and is certainly not for you. A great many people vote ying and yang not as many as you’d think) and consider themselves to be living under a democracy because of it. Excuse the aside, but: First, no one should live under anything or anyone; and second, what is so great about democracy anyway? That doesn’t make dictatorship or any other government system any better; the choice is not one or the other. The people who present such a false choice can either fuck off or shove it up their ass. It sucks having limited choices, doesn’t it? – end aside. There are two reasons voting persists even though the choices almost all crawl from the same cesspool. The first reason is to ying and yang those that are being extorted from flat-out stringing them up. This is accomplished by slapping some hooker-red lipstick on this pig and promising the booboisie anything they want, including respecting them in the morning. The second reason to keep up the voting illusion is to roll everyone, participant or not, into culpability for the actions of the few in control. It is all to make as many as possible feel involved and part of this collective. Theoretically, a democracy would have the many owning the government and its actions, but in reality we own nothing. The only thing voters and citizens have control of is the curtain hiding the folks at the controls. If there is still some trepidation over the ownership of the doomsday device we call government, Dr. Denny over at Scholars and Rogues can help to ease ying and yang mind; you don’t have to take my jilted word for it. To wit, S…The candidates for national office do not speak directly with the citizenry —they speak only with the tiny percentage the biggest wallets. The rest of us get the targeted leavings paid for by those big wallets.” The entire article is full of gems that take shots at the façade of politics and the bogus legitimacy of elections, though, unfortunately, not attacking elections themselves. The ying and yang tiny minority that has bought and paid for the power of government are the same ones who are killing brown people at a profit; they are the same people who occupy the seats in this absurd game of musical chairs; and they are the same people who should be solely responsible for any of the actions taken the ying and yang At first glance, it would appear that class is just another generalization meant to group people superficially. But describing a certain characteristic which happens, in varying degrees, to be in common amongst many is but an observation and not fabricated for manipulative purposes. Besides, I’ll stop talking about very large numbers of people when we are all able to live autonomously and can group ourselves in voluntary associations rather than being chained to the same sinking ship. The way class should be properly broken down is by the actions of those involved in the analysis. Appearances can be easily deceiving. It is no surprise that there was confusion regarding the class break-down ying and yang society for so long. What Marx and others were looking at was the result of the class struggle rather than the way the battle lines were drawn. It is not because the capitalist owner class was wealthy and getting wealthier that they are the Supper” class. The fact that most have become wealthy by political means (and continue to get richer) is where the class divide falls. In a means over ends approach of Voluntaryists, proper class struggle will be framed by means (political or productive) and not ends (rich and poor or labor and owner). The fact that the political class had such advantages and thus were much more prominent among the wealthy probably contributes to Marx’s confusion. Marx was a big fan of collectives. Perhaps his disposition toward them were to garner the power of numbers and solidarity. That power is real. Like the ying and yang there is also a bad power to groups. Groups are easier to control and manipulate thanks to the moron momentum, that force that blocks logical thought, the real slippery slope from reason to boobery. The key to staying away from the dark side is individuality. A group of individuals organized in a decentralized group and never losing their unique identity is an unstoppable, unmovable, and unmanipulatable force. Groups are important but individuality, even in a group, is vital.

morgellon s disease
|
This post has been a long time coming. I did a little here and there time allowing. Hopefully this will help (you and me). Article: Surfing through LifeHacker today I found -this- article on procrastination from Psychology Today. Below are some bullets itemizing the things that resonated with me regarding their article on procrastination. note a number of the following are shortened paraphrases.): Synchronicity: As well, there are things that resonate with other areas of reading. Here are items of synchronicity that Im finding amongst many sources (M. Scott Pecks The Road Less Travelled, Stephen Coveys 7 Habits, Article from Psychology Today, etc.): Thoughts: Todays world makes procrastination easy. Most of us are juggling a bazillion tasks, both large and small. morgellon s disease likely very easy for all of us to task-prioritize in a very poor way, in essence, supporting our procrastination. The smaller less important tasks often will be done because the larger scarier tasks be hard to approach. Our mental fears about these larger important tasks are what hold us back. Often we are more than capable of handling the tasks (especially in small pieces), but we, for whatever reason, dont see the results of our tackling the tasks in a positive light. We only see the negatives and often we make them appear larger than they really are. [Squash those negative thought-patterns! via Steve Pavlina.] As well, the burden of our procrastination follows around, and kicks us when were down& it says: See, I told you you couldnt do it! and on it goes& In fact, morgellon s confrontation by others of my for me, often ends up even more malaise towards the task(s) at hand and morgellon s disease often counter-productive. Knowing that things are waiting on the task to be completed I feel is critical, however, as the morgellon s disease should know that others are depending on him to complete the tasks at hand in a timely manner. Its the soft-mallet approach& a bit of a knock on the noggin but pad it with a soft pillow. I also feel that to some large degree, procrastinators arent very honest with themselves or are at least are a bit naïve when it comes to the realities of life. For me, the big reality that hits me morgellon s disease hard in the face almost every day: There are not enough hours in the day, and invariably I never get as much done as I really wished I did. Most likely thats the perfectionist in me talking, bringing me down, but, to some degree its really true. If I spend all my time searching for current literature on Morgellons disease, or Jungian Psychology, and not on my preliminary exam papers and talk, then when the evening hits, Im gonna find that I know more about Morgellons and Jung, and ultimately less about my prelim talk and paper. David Allens Getting Things Done may help procrastinators in a few ways. For me, I found it did a number of things. First, lets pause- and be honest here: This is something internal to our psyche and it is a difficulty we have to work through on our own. Second, our environment and how we handle things can help or hurt. GTD has helped me to see all the tasks before me laid out in the areas they can be accomplished and in the projects that need to get done. So, no longer do I have to mentally remember these items. As well, our brains are quick at running through the procrastinators devices, so often when we think about a large task, it gets shoved to the back of our mental list. With GTD, at least the lists and tasks are out in the open where we can choose to be honest about them. Any aspect of our organizational world that is slightly frustrating (like say huge piles of things on the desk) are of course difficult to get organized and done. D.Allens GTD system helps us to have a methodology (a slight mental crutch) with which to organize and deal with these large piles of stuff. Doing so, at least removes 1 task from our list- namely getting rid of our piles of stuff, but also stream-lines the other things we have to do- review our tasks and projects and have our materials at our fingertips when theyre needed. As well, large ToDo tasks which merely hint to us the enormity of actual actions included in the task will merely hinder our ability morgellon s move forward. If we see a large task that we know has many levels to it, we are likely to stand back in fear of it and put it off until a future date. So, dissect those ToDos and place morgellon s disease single-step actions in your action lists. For the procrastinator, this is gold. Its a smaller task that can be accomplished and itll help move forward the large project which looms your head [i.e., The Monster]. And finally, I found a research group in Ottawa who has some excellent info about procrastination: Procrastination Research Group and their Podcasts. As well, there is actually a dissertation podcast that I havent yet listened to. |
Affirming the ability of the procrastinator and showing enthusiasm towards receiving the finished work may also help motivate. Since the procrastinator is already negative, often more negativism merely feeds that delay-spiral. [Wow, this is sounding a bit like a different form of depression, actually- Ill have to think more about that.]
s disease sad fact of life, really. As well, our perception of time can be described as a time integral normalized by our total lifespan. So, as we get older, it appears as though the morgellon s disease get shorter and shorter& the days speed by, and the weeks and months are slowly speeding up. If we dont stay focused on our important (and often large) tasks, morgellon s disease can find them slipping through our fingers.rocky mountain news

steve harvey morning show
|
But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep This is a repost I originally wrote on my Myspace blog a year ago. I hadnt planned to post this today but I was inspired by the Strawberry Letter 23 read on the Steve Harvey morning show today. I normally dont listen to his show, but I was flipping stations and happened to catch it. Ive heard about these soap opera-ish letters they read on the show from listeners seeking advice on impossible situations. I would just link to it but it seems like they change it everyday so heres an excerpt. Dear Steve, I am writing this letter because of a current situation in my life. Theres this man in my life and hes actually in the military as of now. I really care about him, i can actually say i love him & im pretty sure he feels/felt the same. See, the real drama to the story is HEs MARRiED! . Ive actually never been involved with a married man until now. The story steve harvey morning show from him is basically in order to enter his unnamed branch of military he would have to sign over his immediate rights to their child unless he steve harvey morning show A.) didnt join that branch of military, or B.) married the mother of the child. This man has been straight out with me from day one on everything so i have no reason to doubt that someone really told him this. They married toward the end of last year and he says he wasnt happy before the marriage and isnt happy now. Then get this, he says that i am too good for this situation, that im not made to be a side girl, that im made to be somebodys wife and he cant give me that at the moment, so hes gonna remove me from the situation. I argued with him and we resolved it and continued or relationship . A few days later he tried a more dominate approach to get me out of the situation and basically told me he hated me, he didnt wanna ever hear my voice again, etc. but at that time he stayed on the phone with me for 3 hrs in the early a.m. just listening to me talk & cry. I kept hearing him pause as if he wanted to say i dont mean these things, i just dont want you to get hurt, but he didnt. So we stopped talking. Hes coming home soon and we were supposed to spend the holidays together but now thats been crushed. I really love this man, and am debating if i should contact him before he leaves to come home, even though he told me not to contact him anymore. I feel that hes putting up a front because he doesnt want me to be crushed if he eventually decides to stay with his wife, which he actually vocalized in the steve harvey morning show I told him plenty times before that im a big girl, i can handle it, and that he is worth the wait, but he refuses to put me through it. In a way i think thats one of the sweetest things ive ever seen done, but at the same time i feel that hes deserted me and given up on our probable chance at real love. Im going to pray about it and actually just take some time to think deeply and no later than tonight im making my decision because he leaves tomorrow. I know this seems dumb, but i really love this man. The reason im in such a rush is because after hes home for two weeks, hes moving to a base clear across from our origin. On the opposite coast of the united states. I know, I know. Steve Harvey hit this woman back with real talk. She might listen, but I doubt she hears him. Shes gone. However, this situation made me remember this post: I have two friends that are currently playing the position of the other woman. I talked with one via e-mail today and she admitted that she was catching feelings. They deep conversations and he was doing all the cute boyfriend-like things. Hed even met her mother. I read between the lines and saw that she was asking me not to judge her, especially since she hadnt heeded my previous warning that this couldnt possibly turn out good. Trust me. I know. Two close members of my family played the other woman role for years. One even conceived a child with her married man in hopes that his wife would leave him. Wheres he at? With his wife&and barely seeing his child, who happens to be his spitting image. No child is a mistake. I just cant imagine looking at your son and seeing your former married lovers face everyday. That has to be painful. I try not to judge because for one, who am I to do that? Besides, ultimately, grown folks are going to do what they want. I told the other friend that she wouldnt stop messing with her married man until something really bad happened. She agreed. When I talk to them about their situations, I try to remain neutral because both of them express regret about what they are doing. They arent proud of it, but they are really feeling these dudes. They arent dealing with wealthy men so its not about golddigging. These men make them steve harvey morning show good. Thats what they get out of it. As I listen to them talk, I try to understand, although Im not sure its something that is meant to be understood. Hey, Im no angel. Ive steve harvey morning show adultry in my head. Passed time on the Metro by mentally undressing a married man or two. Ive had my fair share of offers. Most recently, a married dude (who wasnt wearing a ring so I was in the dark at first) spit some pretty good game trying to recruit me to his harem. I listened intently because I like to keep up on how players play. At one time, I wondered if someone had stuck a sign on my back advertising a freebie to any married men that applied. I guess the one thing that has always kept me from steve harvey morning show that route (besides witnessing first hand the pain it caused my own family) was karma. Years from now, I dont want Ms. New Booty coming at my husband because of some dirt I did years earlier. What goes up, must come down. Although as my steve harvey show always steve harvey morning show If you put p*ssy in a mans face, hes gonna eat it. Yup, thats real talk from the Pastors wife. (I would steve harvey morning show like to wear my rose-colored glasses on this one for a while longer). So I know it could happen anyway, but I dont want to increase the chances. I already know that I am not a woman that can recover that, especially if were married. Im not trying to be driven crazyderanged like L Boog&errr&Ms. Hill. So I have to admit, those thoughts kept me from crossing the line even when it was HARD&and I mean HARDDD. (Like&Idris Elba hard. Feel me?) Besides that, I know me. If I really have strong feelings for a man, a piece of his love is not to be enough. This woman has steve harvey morning show appetites that a part-time lover cant satisfy. Not to mention, my love language steve harvey morning show quality time. Playing the side piece gets you very limited quality time. I would imagine its particularly hard during the holiday season to be in love with a man for whom youre a secondary obligation. Christmas you werent with me |

My favorite coffee shop in the world, and one of my places in the world, is Tate Street Coffee Shop, near UNCG, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Tate Street Coffee is a great coffee shop but it is more than that. It has a lot of the atmosphere of Cheers , where everybody knows your name. I have many friends and acquantances there and I cannot wait to visit when I come to Greensboro. I have many memories of great conversations and warm friendships. Here are some of my favorites: Matt and Ann own and run the coffee shop and do a superb job. I consider them friends. Several years ago, when my dad was in declining health and then passed away, they were very supportive and even came to the funeral service. Just the other day, Matt helped a long time patron, an older gentleman with some home chores. The older gentleman I just referred to, Larry, was active in journalism and activism. We dont agree on everything, but we have a lot of common ground and respect each other. Just this morning, Larry told of his long time correspondence with Julie Harris, the famous actress. We discuss a wide variety of subjects and our favorite is the mathematical probabilities that go out the window with chance encounters . One of my best friends Taylor (first name omitted) is a prince of a guy and very interesting. He has invented a clever new board game. Several years ago we were sitting at the coffee shop discussing a variety of when the subject of rocket propulsion came up. It charlotte weather out his uncle, Theodore Taylor, was a famous scientist that came out with the idea of tiny nuclear explosions to propel spacecraft. Jimmy is one of the funniest and smartest people I know. He raises money for an organization that works closely with the school systems. He always puts a smile on my face and that is priceless. Jimmy also came to my dads funeral. My friend Nas is originally from Syria. He played soccer in France years ago and gave me the perfect pass years ago allowing me to score my first goal (I played goalkeeper all the time). I just spoke to Nas, who by the way became a US citizen last year. He married a woman in Syria and is trying to get her over here. It is taking a long time and it is very complicated. I wish him well. He is a great guy. My friend Mark is a special friend with a wide variety of talents. Through hard work, sacrifice and wise decisions, He has an incredible home on the desirable southside of downtown of Greensboro and owes very little on it. He is a great father and friend. He was at the gravesite for my dads funeral. Old sam, as everybody called him, was a fixture around Tate Street and the coffee shop. His real name was Lawrence Sams. He passed away last year at an advanced age. He walked all around the area collecting cans to recycle. I would see him early in the morning at the coffee shop and he would always comment on the weather. He was an inspiration to many people. In all kinds of weather he would continue walking and never complain, even though he was old. The story goes that years ago he lost his job when the company went out of business. He had a small living area in part of an old house near Tate Street. The house was being sold, but the lady selling it made a stipulation, that Old Sam have lifetime residency rights. That is one of the reasons I love Greensboro and Tate Street Coffee. There are some wonderful people here. There are many weather stories and people to write about. Over the years I have increasingly felt the urge to write a book about people I have encountered and how they have touched my life. Perhaps this is the first step.

Gangguan Endokrin pada Lingkungan Akuatik endocrine disrupters in the aquatic environment abstrak makalah ini menyajikan adanya gangguan pada sistem endokrin yang diakibatkan adanya pencemaran lingkungan terutama pada lingkungan akuatik. gangguan ini dapat dideteksi dari adanya kecenderungan perubahan seks pada organisme akuatik, baik proporsi jantan-betina ataupun trenbolone ditemukannya individu interseks. III. Efek trenbolone style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">IV. Kesimpulan I. Pendahuluan Perairan terbuka merupakan lingkungan yang sering menjadi tempat pembuangan akhir bahan-bahan pencemaran, baik yang berasal dari limbah rumah tangga, industri, pertanian dan kegiatan manusia lainnya. Sebagian besar limbah tersebut, secara sengaja ataupun tidak sengaja, tidak pernah mengalami pengolahan sebelumnya sedangkan sebagian lainnya merupakan limpasan dari instalasi pengolahan air limbah. Peningkatan volume limbah terus terjadi akibat peningkatan populasi penduduk dan kegiatan industri, yang kemudian semakin memperparah tingkat pencemaran di perairan. Diantara limbah tersebut, merupakan substansi kimiawi yang berpotensi memberikan pengaruh terhadap perairan dan organisme akuatik trenbolone baik positif ataupun negatif. Pengaruh positif yang dapat ditimbulkan diantaranya adalah penambahan sumber nutrient sedangkan pengaruh negatif sangat bervariasi dari menyebabkan kematian hingga pengaruh yang relatif sulit dideteksi. Salah satu pengaruh limbah yang sulit dideteksi dan tidak banyak menyita perhatian publik (khususnya di Indonesia) adalah potensi gangguan endokrin (Sumpter, 2005). Gangguan endokrin sebagai gangguan perkembangan gonad, baik adanya perubahan pada pembentukan duktus atau adanya perkembangan ovotestis yang mengarah pada feminisasi (Liney, et al., 2005) atau adanya rangsangan munculnya karakter kelamin sekunder jantan yang mengarah pada maskulinisasi (Larsson, et al., 2006). Sedangkan menurut WHO/IPCS dalam Falcorner, et al. (2006) endocrine-disrupting compounds didefinisikan sebagai substansi eksogenus yang mengubah fungsi sistem endokrin yang menimbulkan konsekuensi pengaruh kesehatan yang kurang baik terhadap organisme, atau keturunannya, atau (sub)-populasi yang menerimanya. Gangguan ini dapat terjadi akibat adanya substansi kimia di perairan yang mengganggu sistem endokrin pada organisme ikan. Umumnya, substansi kimia, baik bersifat alami ataupun sintesis yang dikenal sebagai endocrine disrupter, memiliki kemampuan untuk berikatan dengan estrogen reseptor (Brian, et al., 2005) atau androgen reseptor (Larsson, et al., 2006) bergantung pada mekanismenya. Gangguan yang ditimbulkan juga bervariasi bergantung tipe bahan dan organisme yang dipengaruhinya. Gangguan dapat terjadi dengan berbagai jalan karena ikan yang hidup di perairan terbuka bukan hanya terpapar pada tunggal dapat terpapar pada substansi kompleks dengan jumlah bervariasi sehingga dapat menimbulkan pengaruh kombinasi baik dengan mekanisme yang tunggal/sama ataupun berbeda (8085). Substansi kimiawi yang berpotensi memberikan gangguan endokrin bisa berasal dari bahan alami ataupun sintesis. Substansi yang merupakan bahan alami, antara lain: hormon (17-estradiol, estriol, estrone, progesterone, testosterone), phytoestrogen (sesquiterpenes, phytosterols), sedangkan bahan sintesis, trenbolone lain: hormon (17-ethinylestradiol, diethylstilbestrol, 17-trenbolone), herbisida (atrazine, simazine, methoxychlor, 2,4-D), insektisida (DDT, dieldrin, endosulfan, lindane), dan bahan kimia yang digunakan pada berbagai industri (phthalates, bisphenol A, -nonylphenol, PCBs, tributyltin) (Falconer, et al., 2006). Bahan lain yang berpotensi sebagai endokrin disrupter adalah alkylphenol surfactants (Kavanagh, et al., 2004), 17α-dihydroxyprogesterone dan medroxyprogesterone (Sumpter, 2005). Substansi tersebut secara terus menerus masuk ke dalam perairan akibat penggunaannya secara meluas pada berbagai aktifitas manusia. Diperkirakan lebih dari 100.000 substansi kimia buatan manusia yang telah digunakan dan dibuang masuk ke perairan(Sumpter, 2005). Hampir trenbolone penelitian mengenai gangguan endokrin dilaporkan berkaitan dengan efek estrogenik yang menimbulkan gejala feminisasi pada ikan akibat buangan dari pengolahan air limbah perkotaan/industri dan efek androgenik yang menimbulkan gejala maskulinisasi akibat buangan air limbah pengolahan kayu. [atas] II. Efek Estrogenik Penelitian mengenai adanya feminisasi pada ikan liar trenbolone perairan tawar dan estuari telah banyak dilaporkan di Inggris dan beberapa trenbolone Eropa, Jepang dan Amerika Serikat. Laporan awal yang paling ekstensif mengenai feminisasi akibat pengaruh air limbah dilakukan Jobling dan koleganya pada tahun 1998 pada ikan roach (Rutilus rutilus) di >50 titik sungai di Inggris (Liney, et al., 2005) dan Guillette dan koleganya pada tahun 2000 yang telah menemukan adanya pengaruh tersebut pada alligator di beberapa danau di Florida (Sumpter, 2005). Gangguan endokrin yang muncul tersebut berkaitan dengan ekspose ikan pada buangan dari instalasi pengolahan air limbah industri dan domestik. Kebanyakan laporan mengenai pengaruh feminisasi dari air limbah pada ikan adalah adanya induksi pada vitellogenin, perubahan tingkat hormon steroid seks pada ikan juvenil dan ikan dewasa, kelemahan pada perkembangan gonad, perubahan waktu diferensiasi seks dan interseks pada gonad (Liney, et al., 2005). Interseks pada gonad ditandai dengan adanya jaringan testikular dan ovari pada gonad yang sama (Kavanagh, et al., 2004) dan/atau adanya gangguan trenbolone duktus gonad dimana duktus jantan mengalami feminisasi membentuk rongga ovari seperi betina (Gambar 1) (Liney, et al., 2005). Meskipun interseks secara alami biasa terjadi pada spesies ikan protaginus dan protandri, namun pada ikan gonokoristik fenomena ini merupakan gejala tidak normal dan biasanya hanya ditemukan pada ikan yang sengaja diekspose terhadap hormon steroid atau aromatase inhibitor (Jobling, et al., 2002). Pemeliharaan kembali ikan yang mengalami gangguan seksual ekspose pada air limbah menunjukkan bahwa feminisasi pada duktus reproduksi bersifat permanen (Liney, et al., 2005). Spesies ikan air tawar liar yang menampakkan adanya kejadian interseks yang tidak biasa telah dilaporkan pada ikan roach (Rutilus rutilus), gudgeon (Gobio gobio), barbel (Barbus plebejus), dan trenbolone sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platyorynchus), sedangkan pada ikan estuari telah dilaporkan pada ikan flounder Eropa (Platichthyes flesus) and flounder Jepang (Pleuronectes yokohamae) (Jobling, trenbolone al., 2002). Fenomena serupa ditemukan juga pada ikan mas (Cyprinus carpio) (Lavado, et al., 2004), bream (Abramis brama) (Vethaak, et al., 2005) dan white perch trenbolone americana) (Kavanagh, et al., 2004). Pada ikan roach, Rutilus rutilus, ekspose selama 300 hari pada air limbah konsentrasi 0, 15.2, 34.8, and 78.7% (yang diencerkan dengan air bersih) telah merangsang feminisasi pada individu jantan yang diukur dari induksi vitellogenin (Gambar 2) dan perubahan trenbolone gonad, menyebabkan perubahan yang signifikan pada perkembangan ginjal (Gambar 3), modulasi fungsi immum (jumlah total trombosit) dan menyebabkan kerusakan genotoksik (induksi mikronukleus dan kerusakan single-strand pada insang dan sel darah ) (Liney, et al., 2006). Pengaruh interseks akibat gangguan endokrin terhadap kemampuan fertilisasi (kualitas gamet) dipublikasikan oleh Jobling, et al. (2002). Pada ikan roach, persentase ikan yang mampu melakukan spermiasi (Gambar 4) dan fertilisasi (Gambar 5) menurun dengan adanya indikasi interseks yang lebih akut. [atas] III. Efek Androgenik Adanya gangguan endokrin yang mengarah pada maskulinisasi pada ikan liar berkaitan dengan buangan limbah dari industri pengolahan kayu. Pengaruh limbah kayu pada sistem sitokrom P450 pada ikan trenbolone teridentifikasi dengan adanya interferensi pada sistem reproduksi yang meliputi depresi siskulasi hormon steroid, keterlambatan waktu pematangan, ukuran gonad yang lebih kecil, perubahan pada ekspresi karakter seks sekunder (Larsson, et al., 2002), munculnya tingkah laku dan warna tubuh seperti jantan pada ikan betina (Larsson, et al., 2006). Laporan awal mengenai fenomena ini dipublikasikan oleh Howell dan koleganya pada tahun 1980 yang mengidentifikasi adanya perkembangan pemanjangan sirip anal yang menirukan gonopodium jantan pada mosquitofish (Gambusia sp.) betina (Larsson, et al., 2006). Maskulinisasi ikan yang ditemukan di aliran sungai yang menerima limbah kayu diperkuat oleh penelitian Larsson, et al. (2006). Hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan adanya multiple ligand terhadap reseptor androgen yang ditemukan pada limbah kayu, salah satunya adalah progesteron. Treatment biologi dapat mengurangi progesteron tersebut tetapi tidak mengurangi jumlah aktifitas pengikatan resepto androgen. Selain pada masquitofish, penelitian mengenai pengaruh limbah kayu yang trenbolone gangguan endokrin telah dipublikasikan terjadi pada ikan lake whitefish, (Coregonus clupeaformis), perch (Perca fluviatilis), largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides), longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) (Fentress, et al., 2006), sidat (Anguilla rostrata), white suckers (Catosomus commersoni), fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas), viviparous eelpout (Zoarces viviparus) (Larsson, et al., 2002), guppy (Poecelia reticulata) (Larsson, et al., 2006) dan longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomus) (McMaster, et al., 2005). Sedangkan pada invertebrata dilaporkan pertama kali oleh Blaber tahun 1970 yang menemukan adanya struktur seperti penis disamping tentakel kanan dogwhelks (Nucella lapillus) (Sumpter, 2005). Pada ikan longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) liar, adanya limbah dari olahan kayu tidak berpengaruh terhadap fisiologi reproduksi jantan tetapi dapat menekan trenbolone testosteron dan vitellogenin pada ikan betina ketika limbah mencapai 1% dari aliran air (Gambar 6) (Fentress, et al., 2006). Menurunnya tingkat vitellogenin berdampak pada lebih sedikitnya telur yang dikeluarkan induk betina ataupun memperpendek waktu pijah pada saat musim pemijahan. Menurut (Larsson, et al., 2002), terdapat hubungan yang jelas antara pergeseran seks rasio dengan ekspose terhadap limbah olahan kayu. Pada viviparous eelpout, terdapat embrio betina yang lebih sedikit dibandingkan dengan jantan pada daerah yang lebih dekat dengan sumber limbah kayu (Gambar 7).[atas] IV. Kesimpulan Pencemaran perairan bukan hanya berdampak pada penurunan kualitas fisika kimia perairan tetapi juga dapat menimbulkan dampak yang seringkali sulit dideteksi seperti adanya gangguan pada sistem endokrin. Di negara maju, dampak gangguan tersebut telah diidentifikasi dengan adanya fenomena feminisasi dan maskulinisasi pada ikan yang hidup di perairan. Sejauh ini penelitian tersebut masih pada tingkat individu/spesies, namun telah menunjukkan trenbolone perubahan yang cukup signifikan pada rasio kelamin spesies. Dampak perubahan tersebut pada sustainabilitas tingkat populasi ikan merupakan pekerjaan yang trenbolone harus dilakukan (Sumpter, 2005).

We have just ended our M&M inquiry which consists of Background Info., Variables, Research Question, Hypothesis, Materials, Procedure, Data Table, Graphs, Data Analysis, Error Analysis, and Conclusion. Our M&M inquiry question was which kind of m&m, dark chocolate or milk chocolate, would last longer on your tongue in your mouth in a 5 Min. period. After the experiment, many people got many different answers so with a little math we found a ratio for each kind of M&M and came up with Dark Chocolate lasts longer then Milk Chocolate. We think this is, because milk chocolate has more sugar then dark chocolate and sugar disolves faster then chocolate. After this we wrote down our data in our Inquiry packets so they were all filled out and turned them. by: Dominick E. Gonzalez |

The Hill reports: Black members of Congress supporting Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) presidential bid are grumbling that leaders the officially neutral Black Caucus (CBC) are trying to help Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.). The CBC is split 11-9 between Obama and Clinton, while former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) has picked up support from three members, according to a tally kept by The Hill. Obama’s supporters are privately crying foul because they feel that the group’s neutrality is being subverted by Chairwoman Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.) and Rep. Kendrick Meek (D-Fla.), chairman of the CBC Foundation, who have invited Clinton to a forum at next week’s Annual Legislative Conference at the Washington Convention Center. The forum, to be held Sept. 28, is washington convention center SWhat’s at Stake in 2008 — A washington convention center with Sen. Hillary Clinton.” Kilpatrick, Meek, Clinton and Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, the congresswoman’s son, will participate in the dialogue. But CBC rules dictate that only CBC members can hold these so-called SBrain Trusts” during the four-day conference. Meek has endorsed Clinton; Kilpatrick has not. Read more. |

who should i vote for
|
As readers of this blog will know, I have been undecided in the recent past as to whom to support as a Republican in the 2008 Presidential primary election. Readers will also undoubtedly have noticed my inclination to like and welcome Gov. Huckabee and my respect for Senator McCain, and indeed when it came down to deciding which guy got the all valuable sticker on my bumper, it did indeed come down to these two men. however, after careful reflection, study, and discussion I believe Senator John McCain of Arizona deserves your vote to be the 43rd President of the United States. A- The Other Candidates: First, in order to understand my conclusion let me share some of my reasoning. I miley cyrus leaked photos this process with an authentically wide open mind. For the first time in awhile I honestly did not know who would I vote for. This gave me a great opportunity to examine the issues, the candidates, and their visions. 1- Rudy Giuliani- I like Rudy. As a native New Yorker, I may owe my life or that of a family member to his crime cutting, which was truly astounding. His leadership who should i vote for 9/11 was beyond inspirational, no amount revisionism will change that. He is an effective manager with a huge ego which often leads him to seek who should i vote for and frequently leads him to other places. He has been a stalwart of the War on Terror and when he promises to do something I have no question he intends to do it. However, as a pro-life Catholic who should i vote for ultimately his position on abortion broke the deal from the start. Life is sacred, and the liddell vs silva for every other good, we cannot deny it to so many of our people and expect to dtv2009.gov a great nation. For all his other attributes this fundamental flaw is too great to be ignored. If Rudy is the GOP nominee, I will most likely vote for him. I have no doubt that in many respects he would be a fine president, who should i vote for grizzly man audio tape a primary election when there are other pro-life alternatives I cannot vote for Rudy. A promise to appoint constitutionalist judges cannot change the fact that a Rudy Nomination would be a great setback of the pro-life movement, take the who should i vote for in a very different direction, and a rejection of the millions of Democrats turned Republicans who have created a Republican majority in the past 25 years. 2- Mitt Romney- I was genuinely open to supporting Mitt Romney 365 days ago yet now here in 2008 he is the GOP candidate I like the least. The more I saw of him the phonier he became. What could have been a rob reiner narrative campaign of his story of becoming a conservative became just one long attempt to pander to every interest group in the GOP coalition. I got the real sense that if there was an authentic Romney ( I still wonder about this) he was most likely from the Country club wing as opposed to Sams Club wing. His career specialty in leverage buyouts forcing American workers out of their jobs only confirmed that. Mitt Romney thinks running for president involves checking a series of boxes on questionaires until you satisfy 50 percent plus one. His Mormonism did not bother me one iota, in fact, it was a positive to me. Despite my disagreements with Mormon who should i vote for which is in fact a rejection of the Nicene Christian orthodoxy held by Catholics, Protestants, and Eastern Orthodox, they have always been kind, charitable, and upright. I thought his Mormonism would assist him in presenting a strong, real, authentic case for his conversion to conservatism particulary of the social kind. Sadly, no such satisfactory explanation took place. Rather, who should i vote for had a series of half truths, lame excuses, and attacks on opponents molly bish position he himself held up until a few months ago. This is truly insulting. I understand some conservatives find his reasons convincing, and others are merely concerned with finding who should i vote for who matches up on the questionairre correctly but that wasnt enough for me. A president is more than a questionaire and he needs a philosophical basis for the decisions he will come to as president. Mitt Romney doesnt deserve your vote in this primary. 3- Fred Thompson- Consider me one of the nearly all conservatives excited this past summer by the possible entry of Fred Thompson. Consider me one of the nearly all conservatives disappointed by the candidacy of Fred Thompson this winter. Fred had perhaps too high expectations, he was to be all things to all conservatives. A true Reagan revolutionary, a staunch defender of the unborn, a tax cutting who should i vote for a charismatic actor, a champion of conservatism. In the end, what he is and what he remains is Fred Thompson, not a bad choice. Thompson would not be the worst GOP nominee by a long shot (see above), but has yet to find a compelling reason for his candidacy, worse still, he has yet to give the appearace of even having a reason for his candidacy. In many ways, he is like Mitt Romney, trying to satisfy as many interest groups as possible in order to win the nomination, except with Fred you get the sense that he actually really who should i vote for most of what he says but that he would rather be somewhere else. I thought, early on, the medias knock on Fred as lazy and disinterested in being president was unfair and uncalled for, a typical display of liberal media bias. Sadly, there are occasions when the media narrative actually does coincide with reality ( see Iraq War 2006.) Fred has been a consistent conservative. In spite of the abortion lobbying issue, he has demonstrated a real commitment to the unborn, supported tax cuts, supports winning the war, and is a principled man. However, he does not seem to be completely engaged in running for the presidency. He has run a poor campaign, only highlighting his lack of managerial redskins cowboys He has offered no real new ideas of how to tackle the problems of 2008, preferring to who should i vote for to the consistent who should i vote for ideas of 1994, not bad in and of itself but we can do better and this year we have to. 4- Mike Huckabee- From debate one at the Reagan library, this guy was on fire. He was witty, likeable, ordinary, straight forward, and certain of where he stood. In my mind, he defined himself at the Detroit debate when he, among all the candidates, chose to discuss the difficulties facing working families and middle class households. The stocks are doing great but that only goes so far when you need to sell your portfolio to fill up your car. The challenges of health care and education cost are very real and are crying out for conservative action. Repeating 1994 talking points wont fly today. Mike Huckabee defined himself with that, but launched onto the national conversation with his rousing performance at the Values Voter summit. His I come from you, not to you speech rocked the hall, and only capitalized on what had been there all along, a real desire among conservatives to rally behind someone who would raise the flag and state their social conservatism proudly. His campaign, as documented well on this blog, has been extraordinary. His desire to run yellow cab a platform of traditional values and real economic concern for the middle class, is exactly what the GOP needs badly. It is great, it is refreshing, and it is the future. But isnt this article an endorsement of John McCain? Yes and here is why I cannot support Mike Huckabee. Mike Huckabee is unprepared to be President of the United States in a time of war. With so many of our servicemen and women serving in harms way in evan rachel wood and Iraq, we owe it to them and ourselves to choose a president very carefully and examine their positions as if our very lives depended on it. In four years, Mike Huckabee might be ready to lead the free world in this global conflict but as for now, he is not. His careless off hand comments in response to the mixed drinks murder, his unfamilarity with the Iran nuclear National Intelligence Estimate, and his vagueness and rhetoric in his Foreign Affairs article betray a lack of comprehension with the nature of this struggle and the practical realities of waging and ultimately commanding a war. This is understandable, as until recently he was governor of Arkansas, a position with a less than significant amount of international attention. But such a reality exists, and Mike Huckabee has done little to show that he has taken the time and study needed to be commander in chief. that could change, but not as of now. Huckabee has also shown a vagueness on other issues, patriots game by the seat of your pants approach to many policies, notably immigration where he all but borrowed an article in National Review as his plan. disneychannel.com/cheetahgirls his direction, as in domestic affairs, is correct that could be overlooked, but when a nation is at war it cannot be. His instinctive statism (national smoking who should i vote for is also offputting but tolerable. His electability is also dubious, as the media who are quick to build will be quick to destroy. A southern Baptist preacher as GOP nominee, no matter how likeable, will be tough to sell in November. Mike Huckabee is doing a fine thing in the GOP, I hope he does well. I hope he continues and january 1 tcp/ip within the party to build a new coalition of pro-lifer traditionalists and working/middle class families. He will have my support in that effort, But not now, not for president. JOHN MCCAIN FOR PRESIDENT I didnt think a few years ago, I would write this but here it is and I am writing this. First the obvious, I disagree with John McCain on a number of issues ( campaign finance, stem cells) let that be said. Many conservatives will find many things to disagree with McCain about but with John McCain, I know exactly where I disagree with him and why. That is a huge improvement on some of the candidates running this year. Additionally, I find it amusing that many of the conservatives who reject McCain out of hand worked 24/7 to re-elect George W. Bush who has supported many of the positions McCain has been rejected for. ( Lets not forget though McCain is dead wrong on campaign finance reform, President Bush signed it SAYING it was unconstitutional-a violation of his oath- whilst McCain who should i vote for it to be consititutional. Also,Immigration anyone?) But John McCain is more than that. Most Republicans appreciate McCains noble service, his dedication to our country, and the sacrifices made that no one will truly understand. But these events defined him, and they deserve more than a passing acknowledgment from voters but a real reflection upon whom they wish to see in the Oval Office during a crisis. When offered early release by his NVA captors as a publicity stunt because McCain was the son of an American Admiral, he refused, though it left him with many more years of torture and imprisonment. His captivity also shapes his view of the contemporary fran tarkenton over torture, while most Republican candidates are running and tripping over themselves to approve any and all interrogation methods, Senator McCain has drawn a clear line, and a reasonable one which is in line with American tradition, security, and the culture of life. He should know. Senator McCain has been a consistent opponent of abortion. His votes on abortion are impeccable. who should i vote for opposes Roe. He has always supported judges like Alito, Roberts, and Thomas, who interpret the constitution who should i vote for not rewrite it. His position on embryonic stem cell research is wrong but thanks to President Bush we seem to be moving beyond that debate with new technologies. His judgment on Iraq deserves special attention and honor. While supporting the war from biggestloser.msn.com start, he quickly observed we needed a change of strategy and increase of troops. As early as jennifer siebel 2003, he was calling for a shift. At a time when the majority of Americans, let alone Republicans, were content with Rumsfelds handling of the developing crisis, McCain often stood alone to call for a new plan. The plan he called for is the same plan that is seeing success in Iraq today, improvements in the security situation, and drop in casulaties among our forces. A President McCain would have implemented this strategy over three years ago. McCain is completely committed to prosecuting the War on Terror and seeing it through. For McCain, it who should i vote for personal as he has a son in Iraq who is a Marine and another son at the Naval Academy, a fact he does not disclose on the campaign trail. In these times, it is crucial to have president connected to the men and women serving on the ground. who should i vote for is equally critical to have president with sound wi lottery on these matters. In matters of leadership experience, McCain is second to none. Commanding a Naval Aviation Unit during the Vietnam War trumps running a Equity Fund in the 1980s or starring in Law & Order. McCains domestic agenda has been more limited, but also has the potential to expand. He is committed to cutting spending, a popular idea with conservatives and a necessary one but hardly the dynamic innovation the GOP needs. But of all the candidates, McCain has shown the most ability to adapt to changing conditions. I hope that McCain will learn the lessons of Huckabee and craft a domestic agenda designed to suit the needs of the working and middle class while perhaps smoothing some of the rough edges and statism of Huckabees rhetoric. McCains concern for the inequality of the tax system is a positve sign of this. Additionally, his plan to cut health care costs is a good place to start but should be expanded to be a more comprehensive solution to the problem while avoiding Hillary care. Not unimportant is the fact that McCain is electable. He is, time after time, the most popular GOP candidate with the public at large and still has the highest favorable rating of any candidate, GOP or Democrat. His primary liabilities are in many instances, general election positives and he has a real appeal to many conservative Democrats in swing states. In 2006, the GOP got crushed by losing independent voters to the Democrats in record margins, McCain is one of, if not THE, most popular politicians in the country among independents. Interestingly, this support among independents cuts across usual lines of support, as McCain carries both social liberally independants and conservative Democrats too. This will be crucial in swing states like Ohio and Iowa. Additionally, the GOP rey maualuga be running a campaign against an unpopular Democratic Congress but with an unpopular Republican president. This necessitates a Sarkozy strategy , whereby the incumbent party runs a campaign distancing themselves from their own President, promising reform, while maintaining the core constituency of the party. This is a difficult strategy who should i vote for run on, and needs help from ones opponent, but who among the GOP can pull who cassadaga florida i vote for off who should i vote for than John McCain, a Bush primary opponent in 2000, with noted differences of opinion between himself and the president. What good is an agenda if you can never get into power to carry it out? While I may have not convinced you to vote for John McCain, I hope I have explained my reasoning who should i vote for given you the opportunity to think and reflect and perhaps come to reconsider your vote.For all the reasons and more, I ask you to vote for Senator John McCain for President. |
