Ken Burns Presents Cancer « Science-Based Medicine

a unique combination of insightful history, cutting edge science reporting, and vivid stories about the individuals involved: the scientists, the activists, the doctors, and the patients. It is also the story of science itself: how the scientific method works and how it developed, how we learned to randomize, do controlled trials, get informed consent, use statistics appropriately, and how science can go wrong.

The Brain’s Empathy Gap - NYTimes.com

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/magazine/the-brains-empathy-gap.html?_r=1

Governments and nongovernmentalorganizations have spent decades perfecting the art of collective persuasion — getting people to do things that are good for them and for society. They have persuaded us to eat more vegetables and to wear our seatbelts, to walk for cures and to give to charity. What has not come so easily is persuading us to identify with — or even tolerate — people we perceive as outsiders.

In other words, the conservative ideology, and especially one of its major facets — centered on a strong military, tough law enforcement, resistance to immigration, widespread availability of guns — would seem well tailored for an underlying, threat-oriented biology.

If you live in Sedona-Yavapai County, you must register to vote with Yavapai County. If you live in Sedona-Coconino County, you must register to vote with Coconino County. Or, you can pick up voter registration forms from the Sedona City Clerk's Office, 102 Roadrunner Drive. The Clerk's office has forms for both counties and will be glad to answer any questions you might have regarding voter registration or elections. 

If you are a registered voter and have changed your name, residential or mailing address, you need to re-register to vote at least 29 days prior to the election. We want your ballot to reach you.

Metastatic Cancer Fact Sheet - National Cancer Institute

http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/what-is-cancer/metastatic-fact-sheet

Metastatic cancer may be treated with systemic therapy (chemotherapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy), local therapy (surgery, radiation therapy), or a combination of these treatments. The choice of treatment generally depends on the type of primary cancer; the size, location, and number of metastatic tumors; the patient's age and general health; and the types of treatment the patient has had in the past. In patients with CUP, it is possible to treat the disease even though the primary cancer has not been found.

Songs for Surrender Hill (Robin & Afton)

Picking a song for my YouTube cover:  This was a time-consuming pleasure, and I went thru various alternatives and ideas, but I still can't make up my mind.  So, I'll go thru my thinking and see if you guys can pick something you like.

First, some duets:  This first one is a personal song, just because Rene & I got married in Vegas. But I not sure Rene really likes the song.  I first heard it on Boot Liquor Radio http://somafm.com/bootliquor/ which is a fun Internet station to stream.

Heather Myles, (with Dwight Yoakam) Little Chapel. http://youtu.be/IkUlaxI9t2s

Emmalou Harris and Don Williams took "if I needed you" to the top of the country charts, but I like the original Townes Van Zandt version better:  http://youtu.be/zaP8NGML_QE

And I can hear Robin doing it that way, just like he does in his cover of The Stones' Dead Flowers from his live gigs. If you want to feature Afton, you've got to look at this version too:  http://youtu.be/SysBazd50D8

Here are two recent duet songs I really like:

Native siblings, right here for you, http://youtu.be/SWIPHu7NKR8

Johnnyswim, diamonds, http://youtu.be/l-aVREGmbhg

Now an Dylan / Adele duet would be interesting, and she does a good cover of the piano-based Dylan song Make You Feel My Love.  See http://youtu.be/K3yjZMKU1xk and http://youtu.be/0put0_a--Ng. But this sounds really good on lone guitar too: http://youtu.be/8RD4jkZLQHA

Since we are on Dylan, I think you guys could do a great cover of "Lay down your weary tune", one of his best songs. Here is Billy Braggs version http://youtu.be/48Fg-xoWh8c

Before Dylan, we had Woody Guthrie and you couldn't do better than to cover Pastures of Plenty.  Listen to Ramblin' Jack Elliott's guitar work on my favorite cover version:  http://youtu.be/QzKguhOIpsI

Once you learn the guitar part for Pastures of Plenty, you get a two-for-one because apparently Woody borrowed the tune from the English/ Appalachian murder ballad Pretty Polly, with its long history;

http://www.planetslade.com/pretty-polly.html

This would make a campy duet where you could play with adding in new lyrics.  See the recent version by Vandaveer:  http://youtu.be/9g8BV6zrVBs

Speaking of greatly written love songs that don't get a enough covers, take a listen to one of my favorite love songs: Graham Parker's The Rest is History.

http://youtu.be/Q_bQp27NXMY

The LA punk band X first did David Alvin's song 4th of July when he was their guitarist; it is well written with a catchy chorus, like you guys write. And I like the style that Alvin does it a little better than John Doe in X:

http://youtu.be/mLRAbEyvyuU

Since Robin is so talented that he can make Energy Orchard's Sailortown his own then for some interesting challenges, see how you could bring these into your style:

A leak in my heart, the porters, http://youtu.be/Sn5-NdeMXYE, if you can do that German Punk sound

I've pursued nothing, the tossers http://youtu.be/_GPXXfxpQ94 if you can do Celtic punk

Legal matter, Richard Thompson's cover version of the Who song http://youtu.be/4S6YbELtiB4 if you trust your guitar skills

And of course Theresa still wants to hear Robin do the Pearl Jam song Just Breathe. Here is the duet of Willie Nelson and son covering it: http://youtu.be/ow-Cx9IX4So

On average, GM technology adoption has reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%. Yield gains and pesticide reductions are larger for insect-resistant crops than for herbicide-tolerant crops. Yield and profit gains are higher in developing countries than in developed countries.

Goodreads | Quote by Richard Dawkins: “The total amount of suffering per year in the n...”

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/22201-the-total-amount-of-suffering-per-year-in-the-natural

"The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference."
