(LIP TV) Documentary of "Code Black" about the first modern emergency room, C Booth, a trauma bay concept invented in Los Angeles' County-USC Medical Center, our "General Hospital"

Taking meds to feel normal?

LOS ANGELES, California - A notorious trauma bay in an inner-city ER earns its keep as the "hurt locker of medicine" as new, idealistic, and adrenaline-seeking doctors train in an environment akin to a war-zone.

When the hospital moves to a swank, new building the rush fades, and a bad bureaucracy gridlocks the state-of-the-art facility.

The doctors are faced with the unexpected realities of life and death in a safety-net health care system at the brink of overload. Now playing. Don't worry. "Nothing Bad Can Happen"...and if it does, there's always C Booth:

June 21, 2014 - Summer Solstice: Today at 6:51 AM EDT, the Sun was shining directly above the Tropic of Cancer marking this as the longest day of 2014 for the Northern Hemisphere and beginning of summer. This same day marks the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere where winter begins. These seasons happen because Earth is tilted on its axis at a 23.5-degree angle.
June 20, 2014 - Earth's Core Changes Are Changing Magnetic Fields. Swarm satellite (ESA) measurements made the last 6 months show a dramatic decline over North and South America with a strengthening of the Earth's magnetic field over the southern Indian Ocean. June 2014 image by ESA's Swarm Satellite. Magnetic North continues to move towards Siberia where a large magma rise under the crust has been occurring for the past three decades. This new picture reinforces the concept that the Earth's magnetic poles are building up to a switch. Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has weakened by about 15%. Over the last 20 million years, the poles have reversed on average about every 200,000 to 300,000 years. But the last pole reversal was 780,000 years ago, so Earth is long overdue for a pole change. What exactly happens to Earth life at such pole reversals is unknown. See 020111 Earthfiles.

Hey, childrens, yer friends at Scientology Incorporated want you not to use drugs. Psychiatrists are bad people. Uh-huh! Have you seen the Museum of Death? Come to Hollywood and have a look. Psychologists, too. They have been in cahoots with the military, CIA (with their acid research) and mass marketers to brainwash, hypnotize, and make us robotic consumers. Speaking of CIA brainwashings... Oh, look at that, Nigeria suddenly "knows where the girls are." No need to exchange ransom now, just go in with heavy military assault and establish martial law, a police state, then set up a dictator more friendly to the West. So long, Goodluck Johnathan. It was nice almost knowing ya. Good thing the posting hashtag campaign didn't, oh no, spoke too soon. Well, we did it. We were fooled again. Did you hear about the "Christian terrorist" and his anti-female rampage in Santa Barbara, partytown, USA?

China media: Xinjiang attack

Police state "security" has been tightened in Xinjiang after Thursday's attack (reuters.com)

Papers call for "unity" in China's "fight against terrorism" after the latest violent attack in Xinjiang.

Attackers in the restive region, which is home to the China's Muslim Uighur minority, crashed two cars into shoppers at a market on Thursday, killing 31 people.

China's Ministry of Public Security has called it a "violent terrorist incident."

State-run papers, including People's Daily and the Liberation Army Daily, have condemned the attack in their front-page commentaries.

"The terrorists have carefully chosen the timing to harm the innocence to instil fear, gain attention and to pressurise the party and the government. However, the increased number of such attacks shows the terrorists are reaching their end," says an article in the People's Daily.

The Xinjiang Daily calls for unity in the autonomous region to "fight the terrorists with determination" and "maintain social stability and harmony." More

(NET) Gender stereotyping promotes sexism thanks to Disney and its corporate fortunes

OMG! :-O

Media images of females sank to new lows in the U.S. in the last year for which data is available. The usual suspects are responsible -- Disney Corp., the Associated Press (AP), Hollywood moguls, the porn industry, gentleman's clubs, marketers, PR firms, modeling agencies, and maybe us.

Of course WQ is to blame, too, but by "us" we mean it in the larger sense of the U.S. population. We are the consumers, and corporations claim the demanders of such images, TV portrayals, and gender stereotypes. One day FEMEN will come to these shores from the Ukraine, and it'll be death to the patriarchy. Until then, at the very least, one ought to avoid the Beverly Hills Hotel as we ignore the women we injure and cast aspersions at brutal multi-billionaires like the sexist Sultan of Brunei.

Our Brains on Porn

Hank talks about something or other then finally gets to the sex at Minute 4:14. Fast forward.

Jean Kilbourne asks... hot or not?

A brain on porn has a lot in common with a brain on religion. They both make part of the anxious brain turn off, at least in women, according to the Journal of Sexual Medicine and Dutch physicians. There is no "GOD spot," claims Hank, but in the bedroom he could be proven wrong. In addition to space talk, this short episode touches on: synthetic biology, XNA (xenonucleic acids), polymerase, evolution, evolve, religion, porn, pornography, journal of sexual medicine, brain, sexual arousal, anxiety, sex, religion, spirituality, parietal lobe, and the brain's GOD spot.

Killing Us Softly

(CM)

After all, what are BOOBS for?

In this highly anticipated update of her pioneering "Killing Us Softly" series, Jean Kilbourne takes a fresh look at how advertising traffics in distorted and destructive ideals of femininity.

This simultaneously defines or alter-casts destructive norms of masculinity as opposite or separate rather than cooperative and united. All whole humans are both feminine and masculine.

The film marshals a range of new print and television advertisements to lay bare a stunning pattern of damaging gender stereotypes -- images and messages that too often reinforce unrealistic and unhealthy perceptions of beauty, perfection, and sexuality.

For porn and selling clothes. D'uh. Obviously!

By bringing Kilbourne's groundbreaking analysis up to date, Killing Us Softly 4 challenges a new generation of students to take advertising seriously and to think critically about popular culture and its relationship to sexism, eating disorders, and gender violence.

Jean Kilbourne, Ed.D. is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking work on the image of women in advertising and for her critical studies of alcohol and tobacco advertising. In the late 1960s she began her exploration of the connection between advertising and several public health issues, including violence against women, eating disorders, and addiction, and launched a movement to promote media literacy as a way to end and prevent these problems.

A radical and original idea at the time, this approach is now mainstream and an integral part of most prevention programs. Her films, lectures, and TV appearances have been seen by millions throughout the world.

Kilbourne was named by The New York Times Magazine one of the three most popular speakers on college campuses. She is the creator of the renowned "Killing Us Softly: Advertising's Image of Women" film series and the author of the award-winning book Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel and co-author of So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do to Protect Their Kids.

News of the Day; Statement of Purpose

Ashley Wells, Dhr. Seven, CC Liu, Pat Macpherson, Bhante, Wisdom Quarterly (EDITORIAL)

Left vs. Right: peace activist offers flowers to establishment army (wallpapervortex.com).

Greenpeace continues to turn up the heat on its “Save The Arctic” campaign, this time with a melancholy video featuring the music of Radiohead (“Everything In Its Right Place”), a voiceover from Jude Law, and one very sad polar bear, lost on the streets of London. “As the Arctic sea ice melts, polar bears are being forced to go far beyond their normal habitat to find food and look after their young. This film is a powerful expression of how our fates are intertwined, because climate change is affecting all of us no matter where we live....” More

Statement of Purpose

2014 Wisdom Quarterly editors

My friends are a bunch of Bohemian left-leaning, vegetarian-ish, anti-establishment types, who think government “conspiracies” -- activities planned in advance rather than just events that happen for no particular reason -- are something to point out.

Try this at home, but make sure you film it so we can see the carnage.

The fringe-right has never been closer to agreeing: everyone sees that our government conceals the truth, deceives us, and tricks the public as if it were in their job description. The left is called names because we are not running a PR campaign. Everyone is looking for the truth. We hope.

The left pushes against the sexism and racism and socioeconomic inequality of our Western history; the right seems to want to do all it can to conserve or it get back to an imaginary “golden age” of 1850's/1950's sexist, racist, class-bound “prosperity,” and that means being pro-war. We oppose war and a war mentality (like waging “war” on drugs, the poor, disease, education).

The “war on poverty” was a terrible name and notion for a wonderful program. The right hates it. We need a social safety net, which is the only thing that kept us from entering a new Great Depression. This Great Recession is due to who? Banking conspiracies -- planned events to impoverish the many to benefit the few. Thank you, The Fed, the private banking consortium that runs monetary policy. What will the government be doing about it? Everything it can to keep those private bankers going, apparently in the hopes of getting corporate jobs after their government careers.

Meet you on the golf course? - Git 'er done!

Even the right can't want that, but those bankers are part of the right, conservatives, class-warfare opponents of everyone else (the 99%). The moderate right wing -- namely, the Obama administration -- swings hard to the right. Although labelled “left” or “socialist,” things in Washington D.C. are actually, if we look at the facts and numbers, just a continuation of previous Bush administrations. Who is destroying the environment, making and expanding wars, aching to drill in Alaska, to frack everywhere, to drain public resources and destroy the last remnants of Native American lands? Bush-Obama.

Learning from the past. But wrong lesson.

Obama is not Bush. He might as well be. Under the surface, he just continues his policies. Whoever controlled the former controls the latter. The movers and shakers behind the scenes -- groups we call the “military-industrial complex” -- are the same. Isn't Obama worse for appearing so much nicer, speaking so much better, and uttering much nicer sounding lies? Bush and Cheney were odious. Even the right is ashamed of them now. Obama and Biden have been continuing the same policies, in some cases making more draconian choices, but we are all just glad it's not Bush.

Wolves can be a human's best friends with understanding.

Revolucion hasta la victoria siempre!

“Evil” is a terrible word, almost always misleading and pointless to accuse anyone of. Yet if it applies to Bush and Cheney, one has to conclude that it applies to Obama for continuing on the same disastrous course.

The right wastes no time accusing Obama of every problem we face, when they were so quiet about Bush doing the same things. That leaves the left sitting on its hands. We can't criticize a guy who speaks so nicely, who says all the right things (even if they aren't true), and we sure can't side with right wing wackos.

But if someone is correct, even if they are on the right, we have to give them credit. Maybe they are motivated by racism or party politics or fantasies of American exceptionalism, and wild dreams of being the “true” patriots, sovereign citizens, and blah blah blah. And maybe racist dictator Hitler created the Volkswagen (folk's wagon). We can't say a line of cars is wrong because a creator is wrong.

Living in harmony with local environment

Like Smiley and West, we have to call out Obama. Like Ed Snowden, Jeremy Scahill, J. Assange, Michelle Alexander, G. Greenwald, Amy Goodman, Chelsea Manning, and the next maverick -- all wonderful activists for freedom and justice -- we have to call out the actual guilty parties and policies wherever they come from, whatever sheep's clothing they put on. We have to save the world, or at least some part of it!

Save Afghanistan; US out!

The Buddha and Buddhism teach two things above all other things, wisdom and compassion. So many right wing people -- Tea Partiers, Republicans, Libertarians, Reactionaries, and Xenophobes -- talk about the Christ and Christianity. If everyone were true to his/her espoused ideal, wouldn't we all get along milk and water? Oh, Green Partiers, Democrats, Occupiers, Radicals, and Philanthropists, we have to rise above because the right is unlikely to extend a hand first.

If Chito could get along with a reptilian, we can all learn something.
