		<description>I just read your excellent Op-Ed piece in today&#039;s New York Times, August 17, 2009: Health Care&#039;s Generation Gap http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/opinion/17dooling.html?_r=1.   I completed my internal medicine residency in 1983 and went into practice in Boston.  I remained in practice until 1992, when I finally could not stand anymore to be taking care of people with terminal illnesses or with hopeless conditions, in ICUs, with respirators going full-tilt, Swann-Ganz lines being inserted, procedures and even surgeries that would not make any difference to the person&#039;s life.  Most discouraging of all were the elderly, lying in ICU beds with decubitus ulcers and so on.  I felt exactly as you describe in your article.  Despite doing my best to talk with families and patients about appropriate levels of treatment, there was much that was out of my control.   I left clinical practice to work at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) - with a focus on the preventable.  I took a cut in terms of pay, but I feel 1000 times more satisfied that what I am doing is worthwhile.  I am sure your Op-Ed piece will cause some hue and cry, but as a medical professional, I think you are very right.</description>

		<description>Very much enjoyed &quot;White Man&#039;s Grave,&quot; as I did a post-doc Fullbright grant in Sierra Leone, where I worked with urban gangs, witchcraft and masking traditions.  Some of the work related to blood diamonds, it&#039;s all in my book &quot;Moving with the Face of the Devil.&quot;  Your book is right on, some of the best  work comparing witchcraft to our judicial system.  I&#039;ve always compared witches and diviners to lawyers. Lastly, I greatly enjoy your use of language and, incidentially, Graham Greene, whom you reference in &quot;White Man&#039;s Grave&quot; read the galleys to my book, cited above.  Small world.</description>

		<description>Anybody who does not think humans, animals or plants were not engineered or developed by intelligent design, better think about that a little more and possibly study the greatest computer system known for microscopic hardware (chromosomes and genes), nanoscopic operating system and sub-nanoscopic program codes and relational databases of all. This is now known as the DNA genetic code.

These are the 22 paired copying and 2 sex chromosomes, 26,0000+ genes on those chromosomes and the mitochondria that work with the genes.
Included is the bubble memory containment of the cell wall and the nucleus storage device for memory and instructions.  The female set of 23 chromosomes and the male 23 chromosomes combining into 46 at conception create life and a &#039;spark&#039; to begin startup for new little complete computer and manufacturing system that function from conception to death.  

The conception &#039;Spark&#039; begins a sequencing time clock, architectural  plan, manufacturing plant with routing mapping device, with the most complete set of instructions ever known. These DNA instructions contain the most sophisticated processes for creating life processes that obviously took millions of years to evolve.  The processes for copying the sets of 23 chromosomes and genes and checking them for division and reproduction to make all the parts needed in a human body in a 13 week period continues to make this process more than just chance.  It contains &#039;intelligent design&#039;.

Each cell is its own little computer system which copies, divides and carries the above along on a logged time line.  At the end of the 13 week time period in the development of the computer system it is complete with construction.  From week 14 to 40 it is detailing and finishing the final instructions and the 9 month time a complete process is ready for environmental operation.  This is birth and detachment.

This greatest computer system in the universe has it&#039;s own zero point or &#039;free&#039; energy sources that are ever changing and adapting from conception to death.  The free power comes from the atmosphere (oxygen) for breathing and water is essential for fluids. 

In reality it is water powered with hydrogen and oxygen which is a part of water when separated into the two.  Without either water or oxygen a human dies quickly.  

Basically it is a self powered low voltage circuit system that eventually makes its own brain waves and powers its secure network. It has no batteries or requires no external power supplies.  It utilizes what energy sources or building materials it needs from the earth environment for everything. It contains its own language or instructions (the DNA Genome map) from the architectural plan and manufacturing processes.  

It physically builds everything it needs for human parts and fluids from its own acquired or manufactured chemicals and makes itself within itself with the materials it needs and has.  That&#039;s just for starters!  It routes and maps in sequential time all parts and fluids needed.  This includes the single function items (heart, brain, nose, mouth, sex organs etc.).  Dual function items (eyes, ears, kidneys lungs, arms, legs, lips) that are mirrored for right side and left side functions.  Multiple functioned items (fingers, toes, teeth, hair, bones, muscles, tendons, nails etc.).

We start at conception with the fertilization of the egg and the sperm and the &quot;spark&quot; to begin this new computer system based on previous replicated models already functionally available from mommy and daddy.  Mommy designs and constructs more than daddy each new little computer system development all over again in reproduction of another one.

Even the most quantum or super computer cannot or will not ever reproduce itself with an offspring in its own image from a free energy source and put a life span on it.  Why? It would take at least a million years or longer to do so.

 
The &quot;Spark&quot; moment starts with sperm penetration of the egg and the internal timing clock (biological) which has to be there to control the sequences for construction.  This clock runs the entire life cycle in nearly perfect coordinated time from birth to death.

Where it is located is probably in a nucleus as that is the first item that divides, so the time piece is more than likely to be there.  This biological time clock may or may not always be in perfect sync with all cells at all times, hence the changes for late developers and early developers in some humans. The biological clock has to be sequentially coordinated with all cell development and route mapping or construction is screwed up.

Once this time piece is started it is used by every cell for every step of construction.  It has to be this way and is probably regulated down to small parts of a second.  The time sync cannot be modified in the instructions unless one knows the program code - only stopped by death.  Once the time piece is started it runs at a specific rate forever (aging) until death.  We believe some clocks run faster or slower than others.</description>

		<description>I linked to this site from poetrymenu.com to see the article on Lamont, partly because I recognized your name.  I read &#039;White Man&#039;s Grave&#039; about five years ago (it&#039;s still on my shelf), and it had escaped my attention that you were a resident of Omaha.
Your argument for inclusive education is clear and compelling.  It&#039;s nice to hear obvious truths presented as obvious, and without the manipulation or pandering so often apparent in local opinion columns.  I&#039;m going to poke around your website for a bit, and then go check the library for your titles.
Thanks for harboring endangered critical thinking skills.

		<description>Richard:

An excellent op-ed on Lamont.  Like you I am a product of Jesuit education and how they blew this one escapes me.

If we can&#039;t have the debate of differing ideas then society is sure to perish.

		<description>Mr. Dooling:
Writing to give you two thumbs up for your OWH guest editorial on Academic Decathlon.  Nebraska is guilty as charged for neglecting academic excellence, and probably no worse than rest of nation.  Apologies for delay in responding--I&#039;m serving over in Iraq now and my wife mails the paper to me.  
I&#039;m a former NU Regent, did not run for reelection last year, and left for Iraq after my last board meeting.  The lack of attention to Academic Decathlon extends to other great high school activities such as Forensics.  I consider speech and debate to be the most valuable course I ever took in high school.  Other than our team, no one in high school had a clue about our competitions and success.  Much the same in college.  At the Air Force Academy we would usually come in second at big tournaments behind UCLA--with them beating us because they had about 4 times the people to enter in events; but no one ever recognized academic competitions.   Univ of NE had the top chess team in the nation when I was in high school--but only fellow chess nerds knew this.
I&#039;m disappointed that Papillion seems to have dropped out of contention in Academic Decathlon--they used to dominate this years back.  My daughter will be in Papillion HS in a few years.  Please let me know if you come up with ideas on supporting this event, would be glad to support them.
Bona fide,
Drew Miller</description>
