How Acupuncture Works According To Traditional Acupuncture And ...

Acupuncture is one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) that is widely used for a range of conditions. It is done by inserting a solid, metallic, thin needle into the skin at different pressure points along the meridians. Needles can be manipulated manually or through electrical stimulation.

A patient may feel varied sensations at various acupuncture points also depending on what is happening from a health perspective. Additionally there are different ways to insert the needle to induce different effects. A patient seeing a skilled acupuncturist does not need to worry about pain in general.

Two Main Schools Of Thought
There are two main schools of thought regarding the big question of: how does acupuncture work? The original school of thought agrees with the concept of TCM, which is based on the flow of energy (qi) and the school of thought which emerged from the 1970s, led by doctors such as Dr. Felix Mann which is a scientifically based system known asmedical acupuncture today. Let's examine a little these two different schools of thought.

1 - Traditional Acupuncture
In order to understand the traditional acupuncture model we need to have a basic appreciation of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concept of disease.

Disease in TCM is considered to occur when there is a lack of harmony between the interactions or functioning of qi, yin, yan, xu?, z?ng-f?, meridians as well as/or possibly an imbalance between the human body and its environmental surroundings.

To cure the disease the TCM practitioner needs to identify the pattern of disharmony, which for example can also be caused by an invasion of damp, cold or wind. Proponents of this ancient healing practice believe that the body contains at least 350 acupuncture points that lie along the 12 meridians or channels of the body.

Once the pattern is identified in TCM it is commonly treated with acupuncture and/or herbs.

A traditional acupuncturist will carry out a traditional diagnosis and know which points to insert the acupuncture needles to have the best result. Expert acupuncturists can determine the root cause of a disease by inspecting the patient's tongue, breathing, smell of breath, sound of the voice and strength of the pulse. The intensity of acupuncture treatments given to patients vary depending on the results of the diagnosis.

2 - Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture is best explained in the concept of neuroscience. It is believed that acupuncture plays a vital role in treating and preventing the onset of diseases by accessing and stimulating the acupuncture points in the body.

There is quite a bit of research which shows that acupuncture promotes overall health and fitness by stimulating the central nervous system to produce chemicals and hormones to the spinal cord, brain and muscles of the body.

These chemicals can either lessen the intensity of pain or trigger the production of other hormones and chemicals that can help in regulating the body's internal functions and processes. The increased production of chemicals and hormones helps in stimulating and enhancing the body's natural restorative, therapeutic and healing abilities thereby promoting a healthy emotional and physical being.

When the needles are inserted into the acupuncture points, it stimulates the nerve fibres to send nerve impulse to the spinal cord. It further stimulates the production of endorphins such as dynorphin and enkephalin that inhibit pain.

When the nerve fibres are stimulated, it also sends nerve signals to certain areas of the mid-brain that is responsible for the production of enkephalin which is a precursor to the production of monoamine transmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin. These monoamine transmitters play vital roles in suppressing the transmission of pain signals. Meanwhile, serotonin is scientifically proven to have anti-depressant effects to the brain aside from the fact that it reduces the intensity of pain.

Acupuncture is also beneficial in the production of adrenocorticotropic and beta-endorphin hormones. Endorphins provide immediate pain relief while adrenocorticotropic stimulates the adrenal gland to produce cortisol which is known for its anti-inflammatory effects.

Japanese v Chinese Acupuncture
Japanese and Chinese have different ways of conducting acupuncture. After a thorough investigation, a Japanese acupuncturist checks the pulse to determine where the needles should be inserted. Meanwhile, a Chinese acupuncturist checks the pulse once and examines the tongue to find out the activities that are taking place inside the body.

The Chinese believed that a disruption in the natural flow of energy or qi in the body can trigger the onset of different kinds of diseases. Furthermore, the lack of harmony between the mind and the body can cause an imbalance which can commence the development of diseases.

As well as different approaches and schools of thought, there are also a variety of different types of acupuncture.

Georgia Southern University Theatre Program to Present Triangle Factory Fire Project

Georgia Southern University?s Theatre and Performance program will bring the critically acclaimed?The Triangle Factory Fire Project,?written by Christopher Piehler in collaboration with Scott Alan Evans, to the Black Box Theatre at the Center for Art & Theatre on Oct. 3-10.

?

Tickets are $5 for current Georgia Southern students, high schools students with a valid ID or children (13 and under), $10 for Georgia Southern University faculty and staff and general admission. All shows will begin at 7:30 p.m., except for Oct. 7 which will begin at 2 p.m.

?

On Saturday, March 25, 1911, at 4:45 p.m. in New York?s Triangle Shirtwaist Factory ? where 500 immigrant workers from Poland, Russia and Italy toiled 14 hours a day making ladies? dresses ? a cigarette was tossed into a bin of fabric scraps, and flames swept through the eighth, ninth and 10th floors of the building.?

Panic-stricken workers ran in all directions. On the ninth floor, some made it to the fire escape, only to have it collapse beneath them. Others ran to the exit but found the door locked. Many, including the soon-to-be-married Margaret Schwartz, died with their hands on the doorknob. Dozens leapt from the windows to their deaths, shocking the crowd of onlookers gathered below. And some, through bravery or sheer luck, made it out alive. In about 28 minutes the fire was under control, but 146 people had died.?

The Triangle Factory Fire Project?uses eyewitness accounts, court transcripts and other archival material to create a dramatic moment-by-moment account of this historic fire and the social upheaval that followed. It culminates in the manslaughter trial of the factory owners, Isaac Harris and Max Blanck, the repercussions of which shaped social, political and economic policies for decades to come.?

By using real words spoken by real people, from Ukrainian seamstresses to millionaire Fifth Avenue socialites,?The Triangle Factory Fire Project?paints a heartbreakingly clear picture of a disastrous day in American history and explores the human toll such a tragedy takes on us all.

?

?It is a story that has disappeared from view and it needs to be told,? said director James Harbour.

Runners In Undies Fight Colon Cancer This Weekend

?

The following information was sent to us by Bill Bradley:?

?

The Undy 5000 5K Run/Walk to fight colon cancer will return to Washington, D.C. for the third consecutive year. The event will take place at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 29 at Rock Creek Park. Participants are encouraged to run in their underwear as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the area affected by colon cancer.

?

?Last year, we had nearly 400 participants run, which included over 20 colon cancer survivors,? said Todd Setter, National Undy 5000 Event Director. ?We know this year will shatter last year?s records, and we hope we have tons more survivors, since that?s what this event is all about, after all - early detection and surviving!?

?

The Washington DC Undy 5000 will feature the Colon Cancer Alliance?s (CCA) Inflatable Colon, which is a giant, walk-through colon?that shows the various stages of colon cancer, including descriptions about Crohn?s disease and Colitis.?

?

The Undy 5000 will be held in 16 cities across the country this year to educate the public about colon cancer, promote screenings and encourage people to talk about the disease.

Editorial: Apple apologies actually aren't that infrequent, and that's okay

Editorial Apple apologies actually aren't that infrequent, and that's okay

Today, Tim Cook made his first major apology as the CEO of Apple. It probably won't be his last. Despite the obvious knee-jerk reaction regarding the Maps debacle, it's actually interesting that this particular scenario is yet another example of humans having extraordinarily short-term memories. It's the same reason that whatever game we most recently saw is the "best or worst ever." (Packers v. Seahawks 09.24.2012, I'm looking at you.) In truth, Apple has a fairly solid history of ingesting pride in the iPhone era, when it surged headfirst into the realm of serving consumers in a way that it never had before. And moreover, hearing Cook apologize isn't something that should be mocked or berated; one can only hope that more companies of all shapes and sizes develop a policy of listening and reacting. Allow me to explain.

Nanoparticles glow through thick layer of tissue

ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2012) ? An international research team has created unique photoluminescent nanoparticles that shine clearly through more than 3 centimeters of biological tissue -- a depth that makes them a promising tool for deep-tissue optical bioimaging.

Though optical imaging is a robust and inexpensive technique commonly used in biomedical applications, current technologies lack the ability to look deep into tissue, the researchers said.

This creates a demand for the development of new approaches that provide high-resolution, high-contrast optical bioimaging that doctors and scientists could use to identify tumors or other anomalies deep beneath the skin.

The newly created nanoparticles consist of a nanocrystalline core containing thulium, sodium, ytterbium and fluorine, all encased inside a square, calcium-fluoride shell.

The particles are special for several reasons. First, they absorb and emit near-infrared light, with the emitted light having a much shorter wavelength than the absorbed light. This is different from how molecules in biological tissues absorb and emit light, which means that scientists can use the particles to obtain deeper, higher-contrast imaging than traditional fluorescence-based techniques.

Second, the material for the nanoparticles' shell --calcium fluoride -- is a substance found in bone and tooth mineral. This makes the particles compatible with human biology, reducing the risk of adverse effects. The shell is also found to significantly increase the photoluminescence efficiency.

To emit light, the particles employ a process called near-infrared-to-near-infrared up-conversion, or "NIR-to-NIR." Through this process, the particles absorb pairs of photons and combine these into single, higher-energy photons that are then emitted.

One reason NIR-to-NIR is ideal for optical imaging is that the particles absorb and emit light in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, which helps reduce background interference. This region of the spectrum is known as the "window of optical transparency" for biological tissue, since the biological tissue absorbs and scatters light the least in this range.

The scientists tested the particles in experiments that included imaging them injected in mice, and imaging a capsule full of the particles through a slice of pork more than 3 centimeters thick. In each case, the researchers were able to obtain vibrant, high-contrast images of the particles shining through tissue.

The results of the study appeared online on Aug. 28 in the ACS Nano journal. The international collaboration included researchers from the University at Buffalo and other institutions in the U.S., China, South Korea and Sweden. It was co-led by Paras N. Prasad, a SUNY Distinguished Professor and executive director of UB's Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics (ILPB), and Gang Han, an assistant professor at University of Massachusetts Medical School.

"We expect that the unprecedented properties in the core/shell nanocrystals we designed will bridge numerous disconnections between in vitro and in vivo studies, and eventually lead to new discoveries in the fields of biology and medicine," said Han, expressing his excitement about the research findings.

Study co-author Tymish Y. Ohulchanskyy, a deputy director of ILPB, believes the 3-centimeter optical imaging depth is unprecedented for nanoparticles that provide such high-contrast visualization.

"Medical imaging is an emerging area, and optical imaging is an important technique in this area," said Ohulchanskyy. "Developing this new nanoplatform is a real step forward for deeper tissue optical bioimaging."

The paper's first authors were Guanying Chen, research assistant professor at ILPB and scientist at China's Harbin Institute of Technology and Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology and Jie Shen of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Other institutions that contributed included Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Korea University at Seoul.

The next step in the research is to explore ways of targeting the nanoparticles to cancer cells and other biological targets that could be imaged. Chen, Shen and Ohulchanskyy said the hope is for the nanoparticles to become a platform for multimodal bioimaging.

The Hottest Celebrity Abs and Their Winning Workouts and Diets

Now that summer?s over, it?s time for a recap of this year?s hottest abs. These stars spill the favorite workout and diet tips they live by on a daily basis.

The Workout

We found that a majority of them were doing was some sort of weight resistance training. Why is this such a popular choice? It?s pretty simple actually. The more muscle the body has, the more fat it burns. And I don?t mean JUST during the workout either. After a good and hard weight resistance training session, the body will continue to burn calories hours after the workout is complete. (A great weight resistance exercise that hits the abdominals at the same time is heavy squat lifting.)

Something that may come as a shock to some of you is that only three of these stars admitted to incorporating specific cardio workouts into their plans. A lot of people make the mistake of either practicing only cardio or too much. Performing too much cardio puts the body into a state where it eventually begins to burn muscle. Due to the statement above, losing muscle is NOT something any of these celebrities feels like doing.

We also found that for those who involve outdoor activities in their weekly workouts are incorporating multiple forms so they?re getting a well rounded dose of exercise for the entire body. For example, if they were to only cycle, they?d get a killer leg workout but it?s also great to add in something like surfing because it requires full body endurance and?excellent?balance strength.

The Diet

When comparing the diets of the only two females who made the list, they had something very important in common. Both Megan and Jessica stick to an eating schedule. They?re eating the regular three (small) main meals a day with (small) snacks in between each one. The strategy is to keep the metabolism going. Think of your body as a funnel: it can only hold so much substance at one time, but it doesn?t take long for it to reach the bottom. When your body hasn?t eaten for three or more hours, it?s ready to be fed again because it?s finished absorbing what you last gave it. If it?s not fed, the body naturally goes into fat storage mode. This is why so many people don?t understand why they?re not losing weight even though they?re only eating once or twice a day.

As for the guys and their diets, it seems they?re focused on lean proteins, whole grains and veggies. This shouldn?t be any different for women. Looks like in this situation, it?s both quality AND quantity that matter.

The Supplements

Another great topic Megan touched on was how, despite her crazy schedule, she tries to keep up with her good eating habits. She admitted to taking fish oil supplements in order to make sure she?s still getting in her essential fats for the day. Yes, your body NEEDS fats? but the good kind. These may include things like peanut butter, natural oils, and avocado. A lot of women don?t get enough fat each day, which is why taking a simple pill like the fish oil supplement is a great solution.

In conclusion, these celebrity secrets aren?t really that much of a secret. They?re consistent with their workouts and they pay a decent amount of attention to their diet. None of them admitted to sitting on the floor for hours at a time doing hundreds of crunches. It?s an overall balance of?consistency?that does the trick.

DNC protesters continue march after standoff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ? Dozens of protesters clogged streets and blocked traffic Tuesday outside the Democratic National Convention on its opening day, making for some tense moments that ultimately brought more theater than violence.

Just five blocks from Time Warner Cable Arena, where delegates are meeting this week, protesters took over an intersection for about two hours, attracting hundreds of police officers who swooped in to surround them and try to funnel them to more secure areas.

Officers took at least 14 people away in handcuffs in what was the most vigorous day of protests since both parties began meeting to formally nominate their presidential candidates. Republicans gathered last week in Tampa, where just two people were arrested by the end of the three-day affair.

Ten of those arrested Tuesday identified themselves as illegal immigrants who were protesting in favor of comprehensive immigration reform.

Other demonstrators got into shouting matches with delegates and cut off the primary route used by buses bringing convention attendees to the area. Still, no violence or significant damage occurred even after the protesters were eventually allowed to march into the heart of Charlotte's central business district.

Tuesday's largest demonstration started when a half dozen Vietnam-era veterans calling for better medical care and other issues were joined in an unauthorized march by dozens of members of the Occupy movement. The Occupy group was protesting the incarceration of a soldier accused of leaking documents to WikiLeaks.

About 50 protesters disrupted traffic by sitting down in the middle of the intersection. They were quickly surrounded by heavily armed officers in riot gear. A police major using a loudspeaker urged the protesters to enter a nearby fenced-in area designated by the city for permitted convention demonstrations.

"All of America used to be a free speech zone," said John Murdock, 37, a protester from New York who came to Charlotte after protesting last week at the Republican convention in Tampa.

Gesturing toward the many officers, he added: "This stuff is right out of George Orwell."

The impasse ended after two protesters spoke to the Charlotte police chief and said they were told they could continue to walk as a group on public sidewalks as long as there was no violence. They then continued past the city's convention center, which is hosting some convention-related activities for delegates. The facility several blocks from the arena is also where most media are staged.

The demonstrators' stated goal had been to talk to convention delegates, and the two groups mingled outside the convention center. Some were seen shouting at each other through a line of police officers who were separating them with mountain bikes.

At one point, a group of delegates shouted "Four more years!" The marchers, some of whom carried anti-Obama signs, responded: "No more years!"

As the march continued, protesters turned onto the main thoroughfare of North Tryon Street toward the corporate headquarters of Bank of America, located in the city's tallest skyscraper. Still, the path police were allowing them to take kept them at least two blocks away from the convention hall, a sports arena heavily fortified with rings of steel fencing and police barricades.

After the group marched all the way to the other end of business district known as Uptown, they stopped on a street corner and one of the protesters called out for a vote on what to do next. Nearly everyone raised their hand to return to the growing tent city in the public park they had left hours earlier.

Next, they quietly headed back the way they came, flanked and outnumbered the visibly fatigued police officers.

The demonstration began around 12:30 p.m. when 200 protesters began marching outside of designated routes and without the necessary permit. They had only made it a few blocks from their home base at the park when hundreds of officers began arriving.

A protester wearing a white boat captain's hat who tried to cross the barricade was put in handcuffs by officers. Earlier in the march, the protester had identified himself to a reporter as John R. Penley and said he was a U.S. Navy veteran.

An Asheville resident, the 60-year-old Penley, said he is homeless, sometimes sleeping in the basement of his elderly parents. He receives treatment from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for a number of ailments and wanted to talk with Democratic Party policy makers about the bureaucratic maze those like him face.

Another marcher was put in handcuffs after the group left the intersection. It wasn't immediately clear why police stopped the man, who was wearing a mask and combat boots.

Two others had been arrested earlier in the day.

Paul G. Davis, 43, was charged with disorderly conduct and dispersal of a noxious substance police identified as a green dye. No one was injured during the incident, which occurred outside an uptown performing arts center.

Dylan W. Wrynn, 42, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct at the same time Davis was arrested. No other details of his arrest were released.

The protesters who identified themselves as illegal immigrants had traveled to Charlotte in a colorful passenger bus emblazoned with butterflies and the slogan, "No Papers No Fear."

Among those arrested was Rosi Carrasco, a Chicago woman whom the group identified as an illegal immigrant first brought to the United States as a child. A married mother, she said she wanted to set an example for her two daughters by protesting the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

"It was my children that taught me that making change requires taking risks and the status quo of mass deportation constitutes a human rights crisis we can no longer tolerate," she said in a written statement issued by the group. The statement claimed that President Barack Obama "has deported more people than anyone else in U.S. history."

"We want him to be on the right side of history."

Police did not confirm the protesters' immigration status or say whether they would report them to federal authorities. It is the policy of the county sheriff's office to report all detained illegal immigrants.

Two other people had been arrested during a protest march Sunday.

New York delegate James Gaughran, 55, said he'd been waiting for a bus but found out that it wasn't running so he walked over to see what was happening.

Gaughran said he was surprised at some of the venom directed by the mostly left-leaning protesters at President Obama. But he said he was encouraged to see people expressing their right to free speech.

"I guess they're going to have to find another way to get the buses in," he sighed. "But I wonder if they can even imagine what things would be like if Romney is elected."

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) ? Another major Illinois city will prohibit minors from using commercial tanning beds.

Springfield aldermen approved a ban Tuesday by a vote of 7-3. The State Journal-Register reports? it applies whether or not minors have parental permission. The Chicago City Council passed a similar ban in June.

Tanning beds received media attention earlier this summer after a deeply tanned New Jersey woman was accused of allowing her 5-year-old daughter to use a tanning bed. She has pleaded not guilty to child endangerment.

The Springfield ban goes into effect Jan. 1 and doesn?t apply to spray tans or tanning beds in private residences. The Sangamon County Medical Society endorsed the ban.

Illinois law bans children under age 14 from tanning at salons. Teens between 14 and 17 need parental consent.

John Gorham has parted ways with Interurban, stating that he wishes to focus on his brand with Toro Bravo and Tasty n Sons, with plans to expand with a second Tasty n Sons location in the near future. Details upcoming.

John opened Interurban in a partnership with Chefstable in 2011, saying ?he wanted to open a bar with simple but really good food. The resulting gastropub came out at number nine on the PFD 2012 Reader Survey for Best New Restaurant in Portland.

"I have a wide-range of food experience - working in the restaurant industry on both sides of the house, later in the wine industry, and finally traveling/tasting my way around the world. Whether you agree or disagree, you can always count on my unbiased opinion. I don't take free meals, and the restaurants don't know when, or if, I am coming."

Dr. Romance Video:7 things to consider before moving in together or

?

(If video doesn't load click here.)

Moving in together is a financial commitment, and so is marriage, so it?s important to consider the tough issues you?ll face as a cohabiting or married couple. ?Dr. Romance? presents seven things you should consider before entwining yourselves financially as well as emotionally.?

1. What is your definition of commitment?
You and your partner define your relationship. Know what your relationship means to each of you, to avoid repeating past mistakes, getting stuck in uncomfortable roles, or fighting about what your commitment is. Talk about what you mean by relationship, commitment, love, and faithfulness. You'll be amazed by what you learn.

2. Have you discussed finances?
Money is a big generator of problems, arguments, and resentment in serious relationships. Don't assume money should be pooled. For many couples, separating the money makes things run smoother; you don't wind up struggling for control of who pays or whose income determines your lifestyle. Different financial habits (one likes to save, the other spends more, or doesn't keep track) can generate fights. Whether you split costs evenly or on a percentage basis, learn to talk about money in a businesslike manner.

3. What about household responsibilities?
Different decorating styles, neatness, and organization levels can cause arguments, and so can household chores. Different tastes may require creativity and negotiation to decorate a shared home that is comfortable. Negotiate before moving into your partner's established home. You may have trouble feeling as if you "belong" in a home previously established by your partner, unless you reorganizing and redecorating it together.

4. How close are you to family or friends?
If one of you has a lot of family or friends, and the other does not, or if you both have big families, find out what those relationships mean. Where will you spend holidays? If there are family members who have problems, such as financial stress, addiction or mental illness, how much will that impact your relationship?

5. How do you handle anger and other emotions?
We all get upset from time to time. If you are usually good at diffusing each other's anger and being supportive through times of grief or pain, your emotional bond will deepen as time goes on. If your tendency is to react to each other and make the situation more volatile and destructive, you need to correct that problem before you live together.

6. How do you show love to each other?
Talking about which actions and words mean love to you may be surprising. Discussing how you give and receive love will improve your relationship, and help you understand what makes each of you feel loved, and how to express love effectively.

7. How well did you discuss these very questions?
These questions are excellent tests of your ability to define and work out problems. Constructive discussion that leads to a mutually satisfactory solution means you know how to solve problems in your relationship. If you fight, get counseling before going further.

Basically, we need technology and we are a big part of it already. We live, strive and thrive for information. Gadgets that are invented or produced are debatable. Some of these things are television, telephone, camera, movie camera, microwave oven, video cassette player and recorder, video gaming consoles, Sony?s Walkman, IBM?s personal computer or PC etc,. The latest gadgets include superior versions of DVDs, smart phones, camcorders, laptops, iPods, iPhones, the Blackberry, PCs, computer notebooks, pedometers etc. That modern gadgets have changed the world is a crass understatement. No one wants to go back to the days of no television, no washing machines and certainly, no cell phone; either of these gadgets. Hi-tech gadgets are propagating by the dozen, as companies compete with each other to catch the eyes of gadget freaks or just time-pinched consumers. The fact that everything we see today are run by technology, seems like it brings a big change to all of us. It?s either a change for the betterment or even the worse of everybody.

Because of these latest gadgets and technologies, people have put reading, and books, behind them. They have lost focus on the origin of everything, on how extremely important learning method is. Reading not only helps us to learn vital information, but it also allows us to use our imagination and make our creative mind work. We have begun to call books words like: outdated, useless, and old school which isn?t true. Most of us look at computers and new technology as the latest way to spend our down time and could relax more. We are becoming lazy nowadays. Our whole lives have become covered by the world of quicker and more advanced technology. We are now forgetting the things that we usually do, before these things come out. Learn the basics, as what they say. We learn, but we never forget. Just because of these stuffs, seems like from the beginning our whole life is run by techies already.

On the other hand, majority of high-tech gadgets are extremely mobile and portable; this gives the owner the chance to use it at any time and any place. There are lots of high-tech gadgets that contain multiple capabilities. Gadget owners can use just one or two devices to handle many tasks. High-tech gadgets increase personal and professional productivity. High-tech gadgets pave the way for new devices to be produced. And again make our lives easy and comfortable to be in.

We all go by our day-to-day lives doing the same actions at the same time each day. Latest gadgets and technologies really play a big role on our society today that gives a huge impact to our lives.

Video: Unaccountable ? Elizabeth Warren and ... - Legal Insurrection

Wednesday night Elizabeth Warren will introduce Bill Clinton, the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention.

Warren has claimed internet fame for her famous ?no one got rich on his own? speech which was the foundation for Obama?s ?you didn?t build that? speech.? Warren holds herself out as a fraud fighter, and her campaign theme is ?Accountability.?

Yet Warren has yet to accept accountability for falsely claiming to be Cherokee during key moments in her career, starting in the mid-1980s when she started listing herself as Native American in order to appear on the ?Minority Law Teachers? list in the faculty directory of the Association of American Law Schools.??That directory put the law school community, including recruiters, on notice of Warren?s alleged minority status.

Warren later reported herself as Native American to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law Schools for federal reporting, and on the list of Women of Color in Legal Academia in the Harvard Women?s Law Journal in 1993 when Warren was auditioning for a position at Harvard as a ?visiting professor.?

While claiming this status, Warren never did anything to associate with the Cherokee or Native Americans.? Warren never participated in any Native American Bar Association or campus groups or anything else to show she embraced her supposed ancestry.? Warren only used the designation for professional purposes?while climbing the law school ladder, and then dropped the AALS listing after receiving tenure at Harvard in the mid-1990s.

Warren is not Cherokee or Native American.? Her genealogy has been traced by a group of Cherokee genealogists, and there is nothing there.? The supposed 1/32 ancestry has been debunked.

Warren claims she never received any benefit from her status.? Yet that is just a dodge, because Warren tried to receive an advantage by listing herself as Native American, minority and a ?woman of color,? knowing full well how much those designations meant.

When The Boston Herald broke the story in late April 2012, Warren engaged in a series of misdirections and evasions to avoid accountability.? This video produced by Legal Insurrection is about Elizabeth Warren?s refusal to be held accountable:

Elizabeth Warren has reacted in the past by falsely accusing Cherokee women who wanted to show Warren her genealogy of being agents of the Scott Brown campaign, and has attacked Legal Insurrection.

Yet the controversy persists, despite Warren?s deep campaign pockets.

As reported today in The Boston Herald, even Native American delegates at the DNC want answers.

This issue is not going to go away.

If the voters of Massachusetts have any shame, they will wonder why they should vote for a candidate who, based on all the evidence currently known, committed ethnic fraud and refuses to accept responsibility.

Please help get the word out in time for Warren taking the stage Wednesday night to the cheers of the DNC delegates.? Please share this post and the video via social media.

Update via Boston Herald, Warren at DNC, ignores Native American questions:

Elizabeth Warren, scrambling to shift focus from her ongoing Cherokee scandal, dismissed demands from Native Americans who want her to explain her heritage claims in her first appearance at the Democratic National Convention this morning.

?I?ve answered those questions, what I?m here to talk about (is) what?s happening to America?s working class families,? said Warren, who had just completed brief appearances on the ?Today Show? before the prime-time speech tomorrow.

Internet Marketing Is Going To Improve Your Business | CodingCert ...

If you have a product to sell, you do not want to put it in the internet ocean without proper preparation. Maybe it will be a hit, but how can you know ahead of time? It might be an item of craft merchandise. You have to make it perfect and get feedback from family and friends. Then you have to determine supply costs and the time you put in. Then you can set your price. Of course, there?s a lot more to learn than that, and this is where the right Internet marketing tips can really help your business to succeed.

Do not overuse AJAX or Flash. Even though it looks nice, it does not increase your search engine rankings. Try to use these programs sparingly if you decide you must have them.

Promote your business through other popular sites online. If you spend this money, you will notice how much your traffic improves. Be sure to find yourself a well received and reputable website to promote yourself on that can get you more attention on a regular basis.

Another possible strategy for Internet marketing is the creation of a public relations website for your business. Use this page to post information such as press releases that might get reprinted by online news sites or trade publications. This method is a very easy and effective one for promoting your business to the masses.

Video marketing is a great choice for Internet marketing. Create videos of yourself demonstrating your products and share them on sites such as YouTube. Increased visibility will increase traffic and improve sales.

A good internet marketing strategy is to use image searching to your advantage. If you put images that are relevant to your niche you can get more hits than if someone was searching for text only. People looking for a certain photo might land on your site and get interested in what you are selling. You will be building brand awareness and return traffic.

It is important that you know when and how to use HTML tags. Tags are used to highlight your key content. A search engine crawler will rate your site based on which tags you use and emphasize. Therefore, it is important that you place special emphasis on your keywords.

Avoid giving in to frustration in Internet marketing. Internet marketing takes a lot of hard work and trial and error before you will be successful. Make sure that all your priorities are set before you are going to launch a website that sells your products. Success in any pursuit requires dedication and work and Internet marketing is no exception. No matter how arduous this journey may be, always keep in mind that your efforts will pay off.

Make sure that your website is in a good format that makes its links more easily seen. The format can make your site visible and helpful to visitors most interested in what it offers.

Use social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook as a part of your Internet marketing campaign. You can use these sites to advertise new offers or to share your latest articles. Although, you should not advertise too often as this can push your customers away. Instead, use the websites to provide insights with occasional promotions.

One way to boost the PageRank for your online commerce site is to offer a limited-time promotion. Dependent on what type of promotion you are running, it is possible that outside information and deals websites will link through to yours. This process works for the same reason that selling loss-leaders can help stores turn profits later on.

Luckily, there is no shortage of great information out there to help you improve your Internet marking strategy. You don?t have to become an Internet marketing expert. You can start out with just a few simple tips. You can begin your Internet marketing efforts quickly and easily with these few simple steps. So, keep a lookout on all new Internet marketing topics and keep looking to improve every day.

Navy SEAL book excerpts claim Osama bin Laden was unarmed

The controversial book written by a member of the U.S. Navy SEAL Team 6 who took part in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden doesn't come out until Tuesday, but excerpts from the story have now been published.

(Dutton/Penguin)

The U.K.'s Sun printed the prologue of the book, "No Easy Day," along with several excerpts in the newspaper's Sunday edition. In them, the SEAL--who used the pen name Mark Owen--recounts the harrowing Black Hawk helicopter crash that preceded the May 2, 2011 raid on the terror leader's hideout:

We were now less than a minute from the compound. Intelligence said our target was there, but it didn't matter--whoever was in there was about to have a bad night. ... As the helicopter attempted to climb it took a violent right turn, spinning 90 degrees. I could feel the tail kick to the left. It caught me by surprise and I struggled to find a handhold inside the cabin to keep from sliding out the door.

In excerpts published by the New York Post, Owen recalls hearing the shots that killed bin Laden and the graphic scene that followed:

We were less than five steps from getting to the top when I heard shots. ... In his death throes, he was still twitching and convulsing. Another assaulter and I trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless. ... Lying in front of me was the reason we had been fighting for the last decade. It was surreal trying to clean the blood off the most wanted man in the world so that I could shoot his photo.

The Post's excerpts included more details from inside the compound:

"Through the sweat running down my face and the grit in my eyes from the rotor wash, I could just make out the figure of a woman in the green glow of my night-vision goggles," Owen writes.

They had been warned to expect suicide vests, even on women.

"She had something in her arms, and my finger slowly started applying pressure to my trigger. I could see our lasers dancing around her head. It would only take a split second to end her life if she was holding a bomb."

[Related: SEAL who wrote bin Laden raid book makes first TV appearance]

The Post also printed the part that's drawn the most pre-publication attention--that bin Laden was unarmed when he was shot:

Bin Laden had in his room on a shelf above the door an AK-47 and a Makarov pistol. But they were both empty.

"He had no intention of fighting," Owen writes.

The Pentagon has threatened legal action against the author and Penguin, the book's publisher, saying the former SEAL Team 6 member was "in material breach of nondisclosure agreements he signed with the U.S. government."

Lawyers for the author and publisher say the book "did not disclose any material that would breach his agreements or put his former comrades at risk."

The latest excerpts come on the day "60 Minutes" is scheduled to air an interview with Owen, who disguised him with makeup "for his own safety," CBS said.

While CBS chose not to, other media outlets--including the Associated Press--have revealed his real name.

Obama thanks troops who served in Iraq

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is thanking troops for their service as he marks the second anniversary of the end of combat operations in Iraq.

He says he?ll work to ensure that soldiers remain well-equipped and he?s promising to assist in their transition to civilian life.

In his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, the president stuck to the message he conveyed Friday to troops in Fort Bliss, Texas. He said that as the nation turns from war ?it?s time to do some nation-building here at home.?

Republican challenger Mitt Romney said nothing about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan when he addressed his party?s national convention this past week.

Republican Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana used the weekly GOP address to praise American resilience in the face of Hurricane and Tropical Storm Isaac. He also reiterated Republican demands for extending Bush-era tax cuts.

List Building Lessons - Internet Marketing Blog

Today we have a brand new guest post from fellow Internet Marketing expert, Gerald Gigerl?

Mastering list building is one of the most rewarding skills you will ever acquire in online marketing. Having your own list will pay you for months, even years to come. Many people start building their list in a chosen niche but quit too early, meaning they don?t get enough momentum going to make their efforts immensely profitable.

The first thing you have to do in list building is to select a niche that you want to get into. Again, you can build a list in any niche, so it doesn?t need to be online marketing. You can start building your list in cooking, gardening, travelling or even scuba diving if you wish to. It is important to well decide in advance which path you are going to take and it is advised to follow your passions.

Let me give you a couple tips to help you build a targeted and highly profitable list, starting today:

Tip 1) Come up with an unique product, covering the most up to date information in your niche. Make sure that the product contains valuable information, has uniqueness, provides solutions to real problems and brands yourself.

As said, you can create your own product which will take some time or purchase a PLR (Private Label Right) Product. You can claim authorship when purchasing a PLR product and it can save you a lot of time and money. The benefit of creating your own product is again that you are handing out a totally unique product to your list.

If you don?t have the time and money to learn how to create your own product, a PLR product is the best option. If you have time and money to create your own product, you should always do it.

Tip 2) Set up your autoresponder campaign, starting with sending out your free product and following up with different product promotions and more free content.

I definitely recommend that you set up your marketing campaign for at least the next 30 days. This will give you some air to breathe and you can always build out your campaign within the next 30 days.

The first email should send your lead to the download page to your free offer that you market on your squeeze page. The follow up messages should be a decent mixture of product recommendations and more free reports.
You need to make sure that you give a great amount of value on the front end for free to awaken people to buy your products or affiliate programs later on.

Tip 3) Start driving continuous traffic to your squeeze page to eventually generate 50 to 100 leads a day. If you manage to generate 5 leads a day, you can most certainly also generate 50 leads a day but that comes down to you.

Start using different traffic generation methods, including guest blogging, PPC, SEO, forum marketing, free reports, social media, JV giveaways, article marketing, video marketing and other forums of JVs to drive more and more traffic to your squeeze page(s).

Generating traffic is an ongoing process that will bring ongoing leads, if you don?t stop doing it!

These are really the fundamentals of list building and if implemented properly can create a massive residual income stream.

Are you ready to start making money with your list? Great, get started!
