Yerba Mate -- a popular tea in Argentina and other parts of South America has lithium in it. It is interesting that many claim that this tea makes them happier and more productive. I'm seeing it added more and more to "energy drinks" in the US, such as Red Bull.
I live in a college town, and I notice that it is consumed more and more by college kids.
I sent for some seeds from India a couple of years ago. I have 5 plants growing. The one exposed to the most sun is doing the best. They do grow like weeds -- fast that is. I haven't harvested the seeds. I don't know how I'm going to squeeze them yet. I live in Gainesville, Florida. They seemed to survive the winter without too much damage. I don't think they could go too much further north.
If diesel conversion technology advances, a farmer could grow his own fuel and also sell the converted diesel -- cutting out the middle man.
I took a job as a physician a couple of years ago at the VA, after retiring from private practice. I do both cardiology and internal medicine.
We paid a lot in the private sector for our system and it was not as good. I use the VA system Vista or CPRS with Dragon Naturally Speaking and have developed macros that do a lot of work for me. With a voice commmand I can order a group of labs, schedule a consult, pull up a spreadsheet of older lab values...
It is integrated with other imaging software that allows me to pull up an xray, ekg, ct scan etc... I can also pull up a number of reference programs like Up-to-Date to review and see the latest information.
Do I dare say or suggest it... I think it could be the embryo for a future national health care system.
I believe the universe is teaming with life. Here is a brief description of the various types:
There is a standard and basic pattern of vegetable and animal life in each system. But the Life Carriers are oftentimes confronted with the necessity of modifying these basic patterns to conform to the varying physical conditions which confront them on numerous worlds of space. They foster a generalized system type of mortal creature, but there are seven distinct physical types as well as thousands upon thousands of minor variants of these seven outstanding differentiations:
1. Atmospheric types.
2. Elemental types.
3. Gravity types.
4. Temperature types.
5. Electric types.
6. Energizing types.
7. Unnamed types.
The Urantia Book
Gas is $2 per gallon plus the $200 billion to fight a war in Iraq + 800 dead young Americans + 20,000 dead Iraqis + countless injured + destroyed building and infrastructure + contaminated soil with depleted uranium + future terrorisits inspired by all of the above.
I don't think Americans realize how much they are paying for gas!
I'm sick of watching the stock market sputter and sput. We need something big and beyond our little financial myopia. We need something to unite humanity in a common cause - our survival.
Linux is to Microsoft what Osama is to US. A fantical religious mindset against a tyranical materialistic culture.
Who will win this contest? If history is correct in prediciting the future, imperial Rome was overcome by the barbarians and the Christians. It is only a matter of time for US and Microsoft.
I tried most of them, but came back to SUSE. I'm currently running a home network with suse 7.1. This includes a Sony Vaio, and various PC's. It runs samba, netatalk, nfs, firewall, and IP masquerading without any problem. It only goes down when the power goes out.
The text book came with a CD that had the same stuff on it. The book print was small and hard to read, so I took the CD and dragged the text onto my hard drive. Using netscape and suse 7.1, I made the text larger. I ran Htdig and indexed the entire text. Using plugger and xv, I was able to view all of the diagrams and animations. It also had an interactive test with immediate feeback.
I never cracked the text book and got the highest grade in the class. This is how I plan on studying from now on. Now, I'm looking for a good speech synthesizer for text on netscape. Anybody doing this?
I would like to get all of the professors papers and run them through the same test. Anyone and everyone uses each others sources. Where is the original idea? Educate these kids, don't label them and destroy their potential...

Actually, the Russians were the winners based on percent of finalists/entries:
China 2.2% -- Russia 2.6% -- US 0.6%

Yerba Maté Chemical Features
From a chemical point of view, Ilex paraguariensis (Yerba Maté) can be evaluated under its food chemical aspect or as a raw material for several byproducts. Long before its chemical composition was known, Indians used Yerba Maté not only due to the beverage's taste but also and mainly because they knew its virtues, chiefly an increased resistance to fatigue and its thirst and hunger mitigation powers.
Studies show that the Yerba Maté has the following components: water, cellulose, gums, dextrin, mucilage, glucose, pentose, fat substances, aromatic resin, legumin, albumin, xanthine, theophylline, caffearin, folic acid, caffeic acid, viridic acid, chlorophyll, cholesterin and essence oil. Ashes contain great amounts of potassium, lithium, folic, sulfuric, carbon, chloric and citric acids, beside magnesium, manganese, iron, aluminum and arsenic traces.
Xanthine, theophylline and theobromine are three strongly related alkaloids found in Yerba Maté and are the most interesting compounds from a therapeutic standpoint.
The Yerba Maté's xanthine rate averages 1.60%, whereas it is 1.10% in infusions.

I wonder when I can put one of these on my ebike?

No problem... "evil color" switch on.
Don't fret. Jimmy Carter was also quoted.

Not only are they making advances in social legislation, they have the highest high school graduation rate in the US. Any corrleation?
We give them some micro$oft and they give us some cocaine!

I just put together a quick site using gallery and phpweblog for my wife's pottery. Take a look here.
