#comment-3938: "Cellphones are also told to disturb hearth pace due to misunderstandings of research papers. Anyway, it seems a good idea to use the hand-free devices just in case!! In the other hand, there are a lot of things that probably have more influence in memory loss, starting with not exercising it…. but cellphones stuff is more atractive for the media.
I’ve loved your blog since I added the feed (two or three weeks ago). Good work!!!"

naked capitalism: SEC Skipped Normal Inspection of Madoff Hedge Fund

naked capitalism: SEC Skipped Normal Inspection of Madoff Hedge Fund: "So how did Madoff get away with his $50 billion fraud? Time will tell when and how it started, although I'd hazard the dot com bust. Madoff may have been unwilling to report losses, and assumed (initially) that no one would be hurt if he fibbed if he could eventually trade his way out of trouble. But given the freakish consistency of his returns, it could have been phony from the get go.

The critical bit was that Madoff's firm executed its own trades. No nasty third-party records to diverge with what the customer statements showed.

But another shocker came to light today: the SEC, via its own protocols, should have inspected the Madoff Ponzi operation prior to the end of 2007 and failed to. Why? Evidently, due to Madoff's good reputation in the industry."

I do not know the political leanings of this blog aite, however honest reporting, newspreading, and sharing the information is what I try to in some of my blogs. What this has to do with splitting atoms, well, it may, and then again it may not. Why split hairs over it?

Keep posted, read a blog daily!

The Writers' Cafe

The Writers' Cafe: "too many of us live life like the flock. There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.
My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of “high tech stocks”
Stephen C. Sanders The Seagull by Anton Chekhov…"

Health & Nutrition by Michael R. Eades, M.D. » Metabolism and ketosis

Health & Nutrition by Michael R. Eades, M.D. » Metabolism and ketosis: "If you read any medical school biochemistry textbook, you’ll find a section devoted to what happens metabolically during starvation. If you read these sections with a knowing eye, you’ll realize that everything discussed as happening during starvation happens during carbohydrate restriction as well. There have been a few papers published recently showing the same thing: the metabolism of carb restriction = the metabolism of starvation."

In My Humble Jewish Opinion...

In My Humble Jewish Opinion...: "Follow your gut about your make-or-breaks when dating (Yes, I am saying that despite the fact that I am still single.)
Don't try to understand others' plight; don't expect them to understand yours"

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman

Na Nach Nachma Nachman Meuman: "The Talmud teaches us: 'Learn everything and then seek understanding' (Shabbat 63a). You must read the words even if you do not understand them completely. It is written, 'My soul broke through with desire' (Psalms 119:20). The Talmud says that the surface must be broken, but the depths need not be explored (Avodah Zarah 19a). One need only read the words, even if he does not understand.

When you study quickly, you will absorb a great quantity. You will be able to review each volume many times. What you do not understand at first will appear simple the second or third time."
