• proclus supplements: Vitacost

  http://community.vitacost.com/Templates/MyPage.aspx?UserID=4424

  Many people ask me about my supplement program. I get most of my supplements at Vitacost, which provides high quality information and supplements at a reasonable price. The Vitacost/NSI board is staffed by MDs, and it can be expected that they are doing as advertised. If so, then they truly have an exceptional quality product. If you would like more details, please feel free to ask.

• GNU-Darwin Action: Molecules activism

  http://proclus.gnu-darwin.org/molecules-activism.html

  Although the main MOD has not received an update for some time, ample
  work has been going on behind the scenes, and we have developed a number
  of fine galleries, which rise almost to MOD status. Under the aegis of
  The GNU-Darwin Distribution, the Molecules site also maintains an
  activist component to its mission. The latest example of these two
  factors in action is the beta sitosterol gallery, which again
  demonstrates how we can publish and link on a particular molecule of
  interest.

  http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/mod/beta-sitosterol-more.html

  If you are interested in seeing more of this kind of work, please feel
  free to write in and let us know. Activist work is likely to be pro
  bono, and the premise is simple; to publish and promote prior art and
  public knowledge of molecules, which can have an impact on people's
  access to inexpensive medicine, beneficial supplements, and other
  important uses, outside of corporate channeled biased knowledge and
  their monopolistic price structure.

  As always, please feel free to distribute my messages as you like, to
  add to what we are doing as you are able, and write back if you have any
  questions or suggestions.

• GNU-Darwin Action: beta sitosterol

  http://molecules.gnu-darwin.org/mod/beta-sitosterol-more.html

  Beta sitosterol is reportedly an aromatase inhibitor, which is readily available from plant sources, notably saw palmetto and nettle root. Beta sitosterol is in the class of phyto-estrogens, but it has been demonstrated to modulate the production of estradiol, the primary human estrogen molecule. For these reasons, the herbs are sometimes taken for the purposes of body building, and the prevention of balding and breast cancer. I am not sure that these uses receive full support from the scientific liturature at this time, although aromatase inhibitors, such as tamoxifen are a primary chemotheraputic for breast cancer.

• GNU-Darwin Action: Black Friday

  Happy Thanksgiving! In honor of Black Friday tomorrow, I hope you will
  shop in our Amazon Affiliate store. (You can see some of the gear and
  stuff that makes me the way I am.) http://astore.amazon.com/celestrproclu-20

  Proceeds assist our continuing activities on the internet. Thanks to all
  of you, who over the days and years have played a part in making that
  happen.

  PS, some interesting bits of hardware are tucked in with the MP3 albums!

• In memoriam: Warren Delano

  I received the news via Dan Leahy regarding the passing of Warren Delano, PyMOL author and scientist. The news comes from Axel Brunger on the CCP4 list,. Although I never met Warren in person, we worked together extensively by email in the days when we were bringing PyMOL to the Apple platform for the first time. These experiences are among my cherished memories. Warren will obviously be missed and remembered.
