Sunlight really is the best disinfectant …

 “Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of ‘emergency’. It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And ‘emergency’ became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains.”

Herbert Hoover

 "It is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear."

General Douglas MacArthur,  Speech, May 15, 1951

Miscellaneous information

This is just a random list of links and archive of materials that
I have found interesting. Some are resources that were difficult
to locate at the time I needed the information. While others are
nothing more than a blog of what I happen to be reading that day
and for whatever reason wanted to share w/you. peace, jhs.
(updated 10/25/11)

Ø  Here in Indiana tax dollar vouchers for private education is an
exciting work in progress. Can spending LESS money on a child's
education ever result in improved performance? Everyone knows
MORE tax dollars per student can only yield improved results ..... right?

Ø  Funding miscellanea:
NIH  Medical School Funding Data - Kudos to the BRIMR
The new and improved NRSA from NIH
 

Ø  Important information from the American Heart Association regarding cardiovascular disease in the USA.
 

Ø  The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology has established criteria for accrediting engineering programs.

Ø  Who would have thought Hubert Humphrey would have had it so right way back in 1972?
 

Ø  If you ever wanted the skinny on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) this site will help
 

Ø  The Virtual Hospital (lack of funding hits the sciences again!)
This is a digital library of health information I found this site one morning while looking for neuroanatomical slides and absolutely NOTHING got done the rest of the day. Kudos to the University of Iowa for setting this up.
 

Ø  Image from ISAT of the US @ night during the grid failures on 8/14/2003.
A full report is available. If you are at all interested in how the power grid works here in North America, it is worth the read.

Ø  Normative physiological values for the generic laboratory rat

Ø  Take control of your credit information and greatly limit identity theft
            – learn about Security Freeze Laws

Ø  Generation Y explained

Ø  We can continue to ignore the reality of the drug use in our country or we can begin an adult conversation on the issue (i.e. something other than "Just Say No.") The current state of affairs would suggest our next military campaign will take place closer to home: MEXICO’S “NARCO-REFUGEES”: THE LOOMING CHALLENGE FOR U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY
