msb-0339 Making an example.
I'm dispensing with the show B.S. because msb is on hiatus.
I am enjoying the economic news like nobody's business. Its all melting down; nothing is worth a damn; banks have stopped lending money; the consumers and firms have seen their assets shrink to bankruptcy levels and the economy is a game of dominoes.
The government is nationalizing Fanny and Freddy and Lehman, and AIG. And the leftists are screwed (or the US tax payers.)
The economic malaise can be described as privatizing gain and socializing loss. And everybody knows it. The policies which led us into this debacle are the result of optimism in flying in the face of reality.
Greed unfettered always get into the same shit by constantly and relentlessly pushing the outside edge of the envelope. Always.
Its just human nature.
Capitalism, for its own good, is always trying to get beyond its own good. The crisis on Wall Street and Paternoster Square in London and Frankfurt am Main in Germany, and ... and ...
That the socialists get the reins of power for a while and, after a period of deep caca where they manage to piss off everybody, the reins of power get loosened enough to start the whole mess over again.
It always happens.
And when it is not allowed to happen, empires crumble.

msb-0338 Interning: A lost art...
The Machine is Using Us (Final Version)
..
Professor Walsh explaining "The machine is us"

intro
Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer!
MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.
----
I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.
You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions.
I really need this.
----
Feedback comes first, so...
I admit it. I am a communicating fool.
The Beeb was running an article [ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7622191.stm ] about how MS may be more prevalent than previously thought.
I was depressed at the description of the level of misunderstanding about MS.
Pardon me for waxing lyrical and poetic on you, but as Shakespeare had "Marullus" say in "Julius Caesar": "You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things."
There are over 5 million people with MS world wide and there are about 6 billion people who either know enough to be a danger to others or seem to know nothing about anything.
Gad, people's ignorance, willful ignorance, is such an overwhelming weight on themselves, on their own backs; it makes me weep for us as a species.
---- ""
Feed Forward comes next, so...
This is "your" segment.
Say "your" piece on this segment.
Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share.
Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com"
Feed Me comes third, so...
I'm making my own baloney sandwiches.
Life is so much more fun when you don't expect anything...
---- ""
"Thesis:"
I am writing again because of this strange compunction I have to "run off at the fingertips" and type/talk to somebody, anybody (and lucky you, you actually downloaded this episode so you're "it".)
I was wondering what I would do for an internship in communication studies when I caught (and scrawled down in my nearly intelligible hand scribbling,) something that my professor had said.
Hmmm... I just wondered if I could do it...
---- ""
"Synthesis:"
Part of getting what you really want out of life comes from from knowing what you really want.
I am very strange that way. I have "always" known what I wanted out of life (I know this makes me unusual...) I just never know what this knowledge is going to bring or what its going to cost.
I took the professor's remark, which was made in an off-handed way during an aside in class, searched on the internet (because, as my wife likes to say: "the web knows all",) found the company he'd mentioned, found their interactive arm and determined that either they "didn't" know about podcasting, (which was an opportunity because they needed "edjumacatin' ",) or they "did" know about podcasting but weren't sure about its potential and, as "Alan Kay" said years ago, "the best way to predict the future is to invent it" or at least find out about it first hand and close.
Either way, I would be able to intern, get some credits, get some knowledge, get some experience, get my name known out there and mayby figure out how to get advertisers for this podcast.
Since it would cost the firm nothing except some reporting requirements to have me as an intern and would actually earn them some cred (and a few bucks from the gummint to boot,) I figured that this would be an easy cajole.
What did I have that could possibly of use to them?
Years of experience in podcasting.
Years of thinking about the possibilities and limitations of podcasting.
Year of experience with the various technologies of podcasting both from the content side (audio production) and the delivery side (RSS, XML, internet/web transmission.)
---- ""
"Conclusion:
You always get more by aligning yourself with other people's motivational vectors than trying to go against them.
I'll let you know how it turns out...

msb-0337 Hiatus... Off To College.
Monty Python- Architects Sketch
..
In case there's anybody out there wondering... I've gone back to college.
I'm 55, unemployed, mobility-challenged, unemployable, no matter what Momentum says about the ADA, so ... what the heck?
It beats sitting 'round here with my thumb up my ass.
MSBPodcast is on hiatus.
I will return to podcasting as soon as I have deepened my knowledge of the broadcasting world.
To be honest, it was incredibly unrewarding. Caught between too little feedback and a total lack of interest by the people who are supposed to be helping us, in their own captive community of customers, I got preoccupied with other concerns.
I'm continuing this podcast as soon as I graduate and recapture interest in doing it.
Who knows? Maybe I'll get to run somebody's ad. (Beyond the one I'm carrying for Joel Goodman's book.)
So in parting:

The video that accompanies this wiki page, this podcast entry, this blog entry is just "Chicks On Speed" captured at one point in time and, just like that ... "they" are gone.
The problem with the "Chicks On Speed" is that they're a process. (The "speed" is not a drug, well not a chemical kind, but their rate of transformation; which can be just as addicting.)
They're always in a state of becoming.
They have already moved on to the next fashion, to the next tonal experiment, to the next state of being, because becoming is what they're all about. They cannot be halted because in halting, they cease to be and become something else, something different.
Like us ... becoming our selves, is what we should be all about; being ourselves. regardless of what life throws in our faces.

Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers?
Consider advertising on this podcast.
Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.)
It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download.
That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".)
But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material.
No play, no pay.

Sorry but I thought of another "Phil" when I received Shauna's audio for this week :-)
Its an obligatory South Park reference.

"Synthesis:"
My own Dr. Phil
I began creative writing when I learned how to read. One of my many aspirations as a teen was to be a writer, a novelist and/or journalist. I still may be a novelist some day but don't hold your breath. When I got to university, I took a creative writing course that wasn't part of my regular studies. I was only 17 but soon realized that I wouldn't be able to support myself as a writer. I had some minor talent but didn't have the discipline.
The course that I took was led by my very own Dr. Phil. I've mentioned him before. I eventually took an English course from him as well. It's kind of funny that my favourite profs were not related to my field of study. (Another favoured English prof I had once accidently poisoned an old boyfriend with a seafood casserole, but that's a whole other post)
Anyway, 24 years go by and I mention Dr. Phil in my blog. Then I sent him a note, reintroducing myself and pointing him in the direction of his mention on the blog and warning him of the soon to be stampeding crowds of papparazzi to his front door. Of course that didn't happen (the crowds, that is) but Dr. Phil and I have begun e-mail correspondence. Originally from the states, and transplanted into a very tiny rural community, I looked at him (as I did with all my profs, actually) as larger than life, with an infinite amount of wisdom, and the power to make or break me as a student. I still felt that way upon graduation, fearing the university would say to me as I got on stage to accept my degree, "You haven't learned enough. This is a mistake."
Sometimes I don't feel like I'm an adult. I often joke that I'm still only 3 years old as I maintain a sense of wonder about much of the world. If I grow up completely I'm afraid I'll lose that sense of wonder. But one thing that has made me feel a little more grown up in recent months is the e-mails I've been exchanging with Dr. Phil.
It turns out that Dr. Phil and I have a few things in common. We both have our own health issues to deal with and we both love biking. We are both passionate people, though about different things (and so it should be). It's one thing to grow as an individual in the presence of parents and other family members, but it seems very different to suddenly appear in someone's life again as a fully formed adult and be treated as such, not as a naive student. In an earlier post I talked about a young woman named Jessica. It is a joy to watch a young person learn and grow. Actually, anyone, no matter the age, is a joy to watch as something is learned and understood. That's what I enjoyed about tutoring adults at a local Literacy Centre, the "lightbulb" moments when something to do with geometry made sense or explaining punctuation in terms of traffic rules making it easier for my student to comprehend.
It turns out that humans are the only animals that make a concerted effort to teach others. All other animals "teach" their young by instinct, or the animal's behaviour is directed by chemicals. But for some reason, humans teach and know they are teaching, and continue to teach in even the most exasperating situations. We seem to want or need to impart little bits of info to others. Apes teach other apes by accident. They don't hover over their young and offer encouragement if the baby tries to do something. We do. Apes learn by trial and error and by watching and imitating. We do that as well, but we also learn by sharing information with each other, analyzing it, and then applying it. And it occurs in all societies at all levels, whether it's me as a 5 year old teaching my brother to tie his shoelaces or my mom teaching my father how to make biscuits, or it's Dr. Phil explaining the meaning of a story by Philip Roth.
Why do we like to teach other people? I suspect the answer is rather complicated, but on a very basic level has to do with teachers receiving positive reinforcement for successfully conveying an idea to a student. Yes, I'm a bit of a behaviorist. Think about it, though. A student's face lights up with understanding and it triggers a flush of warm fuzzies in the teacher. It may have taken hours, days, or weeks, but the positive reinforcement arrives in the form of the warm fuzzies. Sometimes the reinforcement is a paycheque or tenure. Even in non-traditional teaching situations, there is some form of reinforcement for the teacher.
But we also seem to have an "instinct" that drives us to teach others. Whether it's a drug dealer grooming an underling to do business or a mother and her child, there's something that drives us to teach. Animals don't have that drive. They can learn but they don't teach. But as much as I enjoyed my volunteer tutoring, I enjoy learning even more. I crave knowledge about a host of topics and I can get lost for hours on the net going from one subject to another. My learning is life long and non stop and I maintain a sense of wonder about the world around me. I suspect that my Dr. Phil feels the same way.

Feedback comes first, so...
I am appalled, appalled at the level of ignorance and the level of fear about MS out there; as much in the general population as, and this is unforgivable, in the medical community.
What should be a very minor disease, a "no biggie" disease, on the level with leprosy, controllable with a simple therapy, anti-viral in the case of leprosy, immuno-suppresant in the case of MS, is blown up to all kinds of levels, demonized and 'buggabooed" into some great unfathomable threat because of perceived mystery.
Believe me, I feel for your daughter.
She submitted to back surgery, back surgery, twice, at the hands of some quack, some ignorant imbecile, some orthopedic butcher, partly because she couldn't face the diagnosis from the neurologists.
I don't know which is more to blame, the neurologists who scared the crap out of her, the orthopedic surgeon who was just making things worse (and I am sure pocketed the money, but who doesn't have to live with the results,) or herself whos'stuck with the compounding effect.

"Thesis:"
I grew up in a suburb on the island of Montréal called Ville Lasalle.
It was near, like walking distance near, to where my father worked for the Seagram's distillery.
It was not that bad as far as childhoods go.
Then my dad changed jobs, started to work selling drugs (sorry, pharmaceuticals,) for "Merck, Sharpe and Dohme", and moved us all out to "Valleyfield" aka "Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec," which was really way the hell out there out there, in the depth of suburbia. (I still remember the address that I had to memorise out there "193 Cossette". It sorta sucked 'cause it was really farm land and had a huge field acrosss the street and a huge "Bell Northern" plant out there. [I just Googled it and its now been paved over and filled with track style housing. {I'm actually of two minds about that. (Yeah it sucked but the field was actually nice and grew some great little wild strawberries. [Nope, you "can't" go home again.])}])
I am "older" than the crap we now wade through back and forth between house, work and the malls.
Okay, it was in Québec, which was a banch plant economy of Canada's branch plant economy and was getting developped third-hand by the "powers that be."
But it still predates the mauling of America. I was not living in ranch-style type tract housing until we'd been to the hinterlands if Valleyfield, come back to Ville Lasalle and lived there a while in various rental housing accomodations. (I still remember the pink "Princess" phone that my father, who must have been feeling paticularly flush at the time, got installed in our secods floor appartment by Bell.

I am appalled, appalled at the level of ignorance and the level of fear about MS out there; as much in the general population as, and this is unforgivable, in the medical community.
What should be a very minor disease, a "no biggie" disease, on the level with leprosy, controllable with a simple therapy, anti-viral in the case of leprosy, immuno-suppresant in the case of MS, is blown up to all kinds of levels, demonized and 'buggabooed" into some great unfathomable threat because of perceived mystery.
Believe me, I feel for your daughter.
She submitted to back surgery, back surgery, twice, at the hands of some quack, some ignorant imbecile, some orthopedic butcher, partly because she couldn't face the diagnosis from the neurologists.
I don't know which is more to blame, the neurologists who scared the crap out of her, the orthopedic surgeon who was just making things worse (and I am sure pocketed the money, but who doesn't have to live with the results,) or herself whos'stuck with the compounding effect.
This should be a nothing diagnosis, a non-event of a disease.

"Thesis:"
"This" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/22/technology/22meet.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin ] article in the New York Times sort of says it all.
Being there is essential for somethings, and irrelevant for others.
---- "Rather Stay Alone" by: "Geordie Keitt" http://producer.geordiekeitt.com/
"Synthesis:"
For people like me who are mobility challenged by MS the rise of the use of tele-presence is the world of work is a wonderful thing and its increased acceptance, and co-evolving lower cost alternatives to "being here", is a blessing that I can't tell you enough about.
Once again, I'm ahead of the curve on this one, having most recently worked form an off-shore out-sourcing firm. They handled things with the less satisfactory medium of the conference call but it was still adequate for the purposes of providing status updates (Though the use of Twitter would have been more immediate, rapid and concise.)
Where I first encountered a telepresence room however was at a branch of a multi-national company located in Kansas City which had some constant interaction with and in the rest of the United States.
The project I was on was associated with others within the company, would have necessitated hundred of thousands of dollars of travel expenses and that would have slowed the pace of work, bogging everybody down in a mire of customs, with some workers, airports, traffic and conflicting schedules. (Not to mention that while they were on-site, they weren't being "productive"; they were being "expensive," [there's "no" R.O.I.])
The use of tele-presence rooms was a great thing and the extension of the group through its use in other branches allowed us all to reach some goals much more quickly, and, as Ben Franklin said, "Time is money" [ http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/b/q101411.html ].
At the time it was enough money that it was worth several hundred thousand dollars a room to equip several locations with telepresence hardware and to pay for the communication costs. (This was "before" the internet, and all of that bandwidth, became a cheap, ubiquitous presence in all of our lives.)
---- "Ironbound" by: "katiesawicki" http://www.katiesawicki.com/
"Conclusion:"
The reason I'm so glad that telepresence is becoming more widely accepted is that it more sharply focuses the costs and importance of "Being There" [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/ ] and of "not" being there.
By dint of having this damn disease, there are lots of times when having to go there means a lot of fuss, unneessary work and botheration.
The capacity of not having to actually be there to, uh, be there, is wonderful.
That said, there "are" things where you actual presence is required.
What we do there, well I don't wanna "go there", so there... :-)

"Thesis:"
"This" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/22/technology/22meet.html?_r=1&ref=technology&oref=slogin ] article in the New York Times sort of says it all.
Being there is essential for somethings, and irrelevant for others.
---- "Rather Stay Alone" by: "Geordie Keitt" http://producer.geordiekeitt.com/
"Synthesis:"
For people like me who are mobility challenged by MS the rise of the use of tele-presence is the world of work is a wonderful thing and its increased acceptance, and co-evolving lower cost alternatives to "being here", is a blessing that I can't tell you enough about.
Once again, I'm ahead of the curve on this one, having most recently worked form an off-shore out-sourcing firm. They handled things with the less satisfactory medium of the conference call but it was still adequate for the purposes of providing status updates (Though the use of Twitter would have been more immediate, rapid and concise.)
Where I first encountered a telepresence room however was at a branch of a multi-national company located in Kansas City which had some constant interaction with and in the rest of the United States.
The project I was on was associated with others within the company, would have necessitated hundred of thousands of dollars of travel expenses and that would have slowed the pace of work, bogging everybody down in a mire of customs, with some workers, airports, traffic and conflicting schedules. (Not to mention that while they were on-site, they weren't being "productive"; they were being "expensive," [there's "no" R.O.I.])
The use of tele-presence rooms was a great thing and the extension of the group through its use in other branches allowed us all to reach some goals much more quickly, and, as Ben Franklin said, "Time is money" [ http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/b/q101411.html ].
At the time it was enough money that it was worth several hundred thousand dollars a room to equip several locations with telepresence hardware and to pay for the communication costs. (This was "before" the internet, and all of that bandwidth, became a cheap, ubiquitous presence in all of our lives.)
---- "Ironbound" by: "katiesawicki" http://www.katiesawicki.com/
"Conclusion:"
The reason I'm so glad that telepresence is becoming more widely accepted is that it more sharply focuses the costs and importance of "Being There" [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/ ] and of "not" being there.
By dint of having this damn disease, there are lots of times when having to go there means a lot of fuss, unneessary work and botheration.
The capacity of not having to actually be there to, uh, be there, is wonderful.
That said, there "are" things where you actual presence is required.
What we do there, well I don't wanna "go there", so there... :-)

---- "Tell It To The Bees" by: "Paul Melancon" http://www.paulmelancon.com/
"Thesis:"
As Shauna pulls another "James Burke" on us, I'm going to sit back and be edified.
Dang but she's an interesting person.
---- "Bees and Flowers" by: "Duane Andrews" http://www.duaneandrews.ca/
"Synthesis:"
Bee Ware
I have written before about things being connected. I am always looking for and/or finding connections between seemingly unrelated things. I did it again.
As you're probably aware, I like bugs. The social insects I find particularly interesting. Bees are one such creature. They do what's best for the hive, defending it from intruders, and if they're sick, they leave the hive so as not to spread disease. Bees have been in the news recently because of "Colony Collapse Disorder", whereby complete colonies of bees simply cease to exist. According to a recent PBS documentary, if something isn't done to alleviate the problem, by the year 2035 we may have to pollinate our own plants. There's a city in China, dependent on the pear crop, already doing that; it's a painstaking, long process to collect the pollen, dry it out, then individually pollinate every pear blossom to produce fruit.
Of course there are a number of agencies world wide looking into this CCD because results could mean a disaster on the world wide level. So what is making the bees disappear? Undoubtedly there are environmental factors, like global warming or wetter weather making life difficult for the bee. (A drenched bee is one of life's most pathetic creatures-it cannot fly until it dries off and is therefore vulnerable to any predator. That's the best time to pet one though, as they sit and wait.)
There are parasites that can cause problems for the bees, though on their own, the parasites don't seem to cause the wide scale bee loss that is being observed. There is also a fungus that bees get that seems to be contributing to the loss.
Some speculate that the mobile bee keepers who move their hives from field to field may be contributing to CCD, the bees gaining increased exposure to bees from other hives and with other parasites or diseases. Or that the movement is exposing more and more colonies to different pesticides and poisons.
But the most interesting (to me) possible cause of CCD is Israel Acute Paralysis Virus. It has been found in a great number of tested CCD colonies and while causation has not been proven, there appears to be a link.
In IAPV, the bee becomes sick, then paralyzed. Nature doesn't cope well when its creatures can't move, therefore they die. En mass. The virus can be transmitted by mites, those pesky little parasites. It would be akin to us getting Lyme disease from a tick.
One of the terms used in the PBS show I watched was "perfect storm". Heard that before. A perfect storm of events transpire to kill off the bees. Immune suppression because of parasite infestation, exposure to less than ideal circumstances in the environment, and onset of a virus. On their own, each circumstance is survivable and uneventful, but put all three together and you get the perfect storm resulting in CCD.
MS is much like CCD. We have a certain genetic makeup that makes our immune system go a little haywire, add to that less than ideal environment (perhaps not enough vitamin D), and exposure to a childhood illness, and bingo! MS. Each of those circumstances on their own probably don't cause MS, but put 'em together and you've got it.
I couldn't help but think of the connection between both these illnesses while watching the documentary. As we discover more and more about how our systems work with, and sometimes against, each other, we understand biology a little better. I just wish the discoveries came a little faster.
S.
---- "Stickybee - INSTRUMENTAL" by: "Josh Woodward" http://www.joshwoodward.com/
"Conclusion:"
I'd add that it might be the immunity conveyed by somebody actually getting a childhood disease in childhood, like they're "supposed" to (instead of having a bacteriologist father who insisted that everything had to go on a "red hot" oven before it was allowed to go near the children,) or somebody actually getting disease which are nothing for a child to survive, but play merry Hell with adults. ("Measles anyone?")
I spent my infancy smothered in anticeptic, then I became very sickly as a child.
Maybe I wouldn't have been so sickly as a teenager, (my first undiagnosed attack was at 15,) never mind as an adult, if dad hadn't been so "gung ho" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gung-ho ] to shield me as an infant.
I think that that is one of the worst things about this disease.
You don't want to lay blame, but its always there: a "soupçon" [ http://www.thefreedictionary.com/soupcon ] of "what if."

"Synthèse:"
Il y a des aspects a cette maudite maladie qui sont franchement épeurant.
En plus des aspects physique, (la spasticitée, le manque de contrôle, [mais je me répète,] les sensations phantôme or simplement absentes,) la sclérose en plaques a des effects secondaires sur notre apareilage intellectuel.
Il mes déja arrivé d'ètre completement incapable de prendre une décision, aussi mineure soit elle.
Notre méchanisme de décision est délicat, étant situé dans le cortex cingulate antérieur et dans le cervelet.
J'ai malheuresement des lésions dans cette région de ma cervelle, qui rende les chose plutôt difficiles parfois. (Ces regions sont moin nécessaires a la vie quotidienne que l'on le penserai. Les préjugés sont véritable et véritablement necessaire a la vie. On ne prend pas des décisions a chaque minute de la journée. En fait, cette région se fatigue. Si on pousse trop fort on devien quasiment un imbécile en attendant que notre region du cortex cingulate antérieur refaisse ses forces.)
Heuresement je crois en la méthode scientifique, ce qui me donne un espèce de "Razoir d'Ockham" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_ockham ] qui m'aide a prendre toutes ces décision sans me travailler trop les méninges.

Il y a certain jours ou tout file bien. (La majeure partie, soyon honnête.)

Heureusement pour mois, ces periodes sont très rélaxantes.

Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast.
Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.)
Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement.
Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".)
Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel.
L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle.

"Thèse:"
On a tous des jours comme ca.

"Synthèse:"
Il y a des aspects a cette maudite maladie qui sont franchement épeurant.
En plus des aspects physique, (la spasticitée, le manque de contrôle, [mais je me répète,] les sensations phantôme or simplement absentes,) la sclérose en plaques a des effects secondaires sur notre apareilage intellectuel.
Il mes déja arrivé d'ètre completement incapable de prendre une décision, aussi mineure soit elle.
Notre méchanisme de décision est délicat, étant situé dans le cortex cingulate antérieur et dans le cervelet.
J'ai malheuresement des lésions dans cette région de ma cervelle, qui rende les chose plutôt difficiles parfois. (Ces regions sont moin nécessaires a la vie quotidienne que l'on le penserai. Les préjugés sont véritable et véritablement necessaire a la vie. On ne prend pas des décisions a chaque minute de la journée. En fait, cette région se fatigue. Si on pousse trop fort on devien quasiment un imbécile en attendant que notre region du cortex cingulate antérieur refaisse ses forces.)
Heuresement je crois en la méthode scientifique, ce qui me donne un espèce de "Razoir d'Ockham" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_ockham ] qui m'aide a prendre toutes ces décision sans me travailler trop les méninges.
Mais, c'est toujours "unsettling" quand c'a arrive.

"Conclusion:"
Il y a certain jours ou tout file bien. (La majeure partie, soyon honnête.)
Il a d'autre jours ou c'a devient fascinant de passer quelques heures en introspection, étant en mème temps l'observateur et l'object d'observation.
Heureusement pour mois, ces periodes sont très rélaxantes.
Il n'y a pas de decisions a prendre. :-)

MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.

The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.

"Synthesis:"
Mankind has been playing with sharp things ever since some idiot cave-person, say "Ogg", threw a torn tree limb at some other idiot cave-person, say "Oog"'s, missed, it stuck into the ground, and they invented the earliest form of "mumbledepeg."
Apart from the accidental stabbings, jabbings and occasional crude amputations, disembowelments and decapitations, we've had a love affair with sharp things ever since. (We're freakin' idiot, I know.:-)
A good knife, is a "sharp" knife.
I suspect that most kitchen accidents not involving fire occur around a blade that is no longer sharp.
Sharpening knives used to be done by itinerant tradesmen who went around the town hauling their sharpening wheel and honing stones; drizzling their mineral oils over them as they put blade to stone, to turn a dull edge back into a razor.
Its a skill now lost to the people who go around with a stainless steel blade and think that "that"'s sharp.
By definition, it isn't sharp the time you use it. The stainless process coats the steel with layers of oxides that might help keep blade from tarnishing, but those very oxides make it impossible for a blade to stay sharp because they "fatten" the profile of the blade.
What's called "cutting" is really "fine hacking".
Most kitchen accidents involving blades happen when the hack just can't, uh, hack it. (I'm an ex-IT guy and believe me I know all "kinds" of hacking.)
Knives have to be forced, slip and go somewhere they have no business, like a finger.
A "sharp" knife is made of high carbon steel or ceramics.
A "sharp" knife is one that interjects its blade in between the fibers of whatever you are cutting. There is no "hacking." Cutting is an almost effortless process.
(Incidentally, cutting yourself with a sharp blade doesn't hurt anywhere as much as with a dull blade and the skin is quite ready to fuse itself back together. Band-Aids or sutures are for the mechanics of keeping the elements stable while the skin's own repair mechanism can handle the re-knitting. An injury with a dull blade causes the growth of "scar tissue" [and believe me, I have quite enough "sclera" to deal with already.])
The itinerant peddlers have gone so the responsibility now falls on the knife owner to keep his blades sharp.
That's why they sell all those "Ginsu" knives.
"Never Needs Sharpening" is a promise that's easy to keep.
"But will it stay sharp?" is a question that's easy to answer too.
Just look at the emergency room admission statistics for your town.

Scotland, Nova Scotia and MS
As Canadians and Nova Scotians, we celebrate our heritage and our culture and our ties to the "old country". Food, music, dance, and literature are common things we share. Who in Nova Scotia hasn't heard of Robbie Burns or danced to a Scottish reel? The other thing we share is Multiple Sclerosis.
55,000 - 75,000 people in Canada have Multiple Sclerosis. In Atlantic Canada alone, we have 5,000 - one of the highest rates in the country. The MS Society in Scotland estimates 10,500 people have MS in Scotland. Based on recent population statistics, the two countries are almost equal in incidence of MS.
One of the big questions is why? Well, the geographical incidence of MS increases the further away from the equator you get. For example, Mexico has a population of 90 million, 15,000 of whom have MS. We have one third the population, but more than three times the incidence of MS. Canada and Scotland are quite far away from Mexico, yet, per capita, have a much higher incidence of MS.
Where did people from Scotland and other northern European areas settle when they left their home country? Many came to Canada. Early on they settled in Nova Scotia and branched out from there.
Aside from sharing a similar geography in distance from the equator, we share a lack of sunshine year round strong enough to enable our bodies to produce vitamin D. Recent studies have implicated this vitamin in MS.
BBC Scotland was recently in Halifax filming interviews with people of Scottish heritage and who also have MS for a future story about the connections between Scotland, Nova Scotia and MS. As well, the MS Society in Scotland is starting to jump on the genetics bandwagon in developing a national database of people with MS, something Canada has been working on for several years.
A recent poll has shown that one out of two Canadians knows someone with MS.
How many do you know?

The ethnocultural portrait of Canada's provinces and territories reflects both the historical and current settlement patterns of the different waves of immigration to the country.Our shared heritage hints at a genetic reason for MS. That may be part of it.
After Canadian, the other most frequently reported origins in 2006, either alone or with other origins, were English, French, Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, Chinese, North American Indian and Ukrainian.
The list of ethnic origins in 2006 includes cultural groups associated with Canada's Aboriginal people (North American Indian, Métis and Inuit) and the European groups that first settled in Canada, such as the English, French Scottish and Irish.
The largest group enumerated by the census consisted of just over 10 million people who reported Canadian as their ethnic ancestry, either alone (5.7 million) or with other origins (4.3 million).
The other most frequently cited origins were English (6.6 million), French (4.9 million), Scottish (4.7 million), Irish (4.4 million), German (3.2 million), Italian (1.4 million), Chinese (1.3 million), North American Indian (1.3 million), Ukrainian (1.2 million) and Dutch (1.0 million).

"This" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/18/business/18econ.html?ref=business ] article in the "New York Times" points out that people can't see what's going on with the housing market.
They're looking in the wrong direction...
Its not in front of them but behind them, as the calendar goes.

Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers?
Consider advertising on this podcast.
Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.)
It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download.
That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".)
But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material.
No play, no pay.
Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested...

"Thesis:"
Something has struck me as this housing crisis becomes, uh, a crisis.
The term "real estate" is being shown up for the fiction that it is.
It is not, and never was, "real".
Some of you might have parents who were born "pre-Boomer" and some of those might me able to tell you what it was like "pre-W.W.II".
Yup, listen to your 'rents and gran-'rents. But really "listen". Listen for what you need to hear...
---- "Slaughterhouse Blues" by: "Maria Daines" http://www.maria-daines.com/
"Synthesis:"
The real estate crisis is a crisis of imagination and self-esteem.
Its born of ignorance and steeped in refined oil.
The cause of the crisis is the lack of predictive ability to see what could/should/would happen when it all went "pear shaped" and you were stuck somewhere you "didn't" wanna be..
If you live in the 'burbs, make that, if you live more than a thirty minute private commute between where you sleep and where you live/work/play/meet 'n greet, you're just waking up to a new reality.
Now that you're looking at your house more like a millstone than a touch stone, every body else is too.
Ergo, your desirable house is not so desirable anymore and lack of desirability means plunging prices.
There is no "real" in real-estate. It all boils down to "comparative advantage" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage ] or, more to the point, comparative "dis"-advantage.
Our house valuations are subject to enormous changes. (Witness the simultaneous "Fanny Mae" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_may ] and "Freddie Mac" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Home_Loan_Mortgage_Corporation ] debacles.)
One of the things that affects those changes is transportation (In the United States the "Department of Transportation" [ http://www.dot.gov/ { hey, I just noticed the site is called dub, dub, dub, dot, dot, dot, guv. :-}] has annual budget US$58Billion. Okay, its still only about one ninth of the estimated US$490+Billion Defense "budget", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States ] but our bridges "are" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridge ] crumbling)
And instability but, trending inexorably onward and upward, the "cost" of transportation is putting the structure of the "American Way Of Life" under severly distorting stress and strain.
Now its not so bad if you live somewhere in the Boston to Washington DC "North East Corridor", the West Coast pockets of Seattle and Greater L.A. but if you don't live in the two narrow areas, you're home values are about to "take it in the shorts".
Remember what the AmerIndians said about the value of land: "You don't own the land, it own you."
Not having vested interests in real-estate, they meant it in a nice holistic way. But as you watch your supposed equity vanish in the current and deepening shift, you'll find out that the statement also can have a nasty side.
---- "The House Is Burnin" by: "Calvin Owens" http://topcatrecords.com/
"Conclusion:"
We have a great deal to listen to i we can just shut up long enough to hear it.
This has all happened before; but not to people who lived centuries ago and/or who you couldn't possibly have met.
Sit down and talk to your 'rents or grand-'rents about "what" went down and "how" it went down.
They survived pre-oil boom.
Now you have to learn how they managed it.
Since you'll be using the latest in technology so you don't have to fight the energy wars, and rape the planet to the extent that they did.
And that's a good thing because there isn't enough affordable oil left.

intro
Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer!
MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.
It is by and for MSers.
Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease.
The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.
The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge.
