Wow! Just think. You step into your very own time machine, set the controls to any time period in history and, voila, you’re there, conversing with Julius Caesar! Or maybe, confronting Shakespeare, himself! Or what about that Jewel of the Nile, the intoxicatingly beautiful and powerful, Cleopatra?! Exotic Cleopatra, a pivotal figure in world history books, who commits suicide from the fatal bite of an asp (a species of Egyptian cobra).
As a very young boy in 6th grade, I remember writing a school paper on Cleopatra. It’s amazing but, to this day, she still enchants me from the distant past! In my Cleopatra book report I even included a cute Cleopatra joke: Cleopatra asked her attendant to prepare a milk bath for her. Her attendant asked her: “Pasteurized?” And Cleopatra replied: “No, just up to my neck.”
At age 11, I remember having to explain the punch line to my schoolmates. Then we’d all laugh out loud and do a ‘high-five.’
I’ve often dreamed of possessing my very own personal time machine! But, where would I go, and with whom shall I visit from the distant past? My young 11year-old imagination was unbridled, and most eager to dream of the infinite possibilities open to me!
Boarding our time machine, perhaps we could set our time machine dials so that we could meet, reputedly, the most beautiful woman of the ancient world, Helen of Troy! Her beauty is immortalized in verse by Christopher Marlowe: “Was this the face that launched a thousand ships, and burnt the topless towers of Ilium? Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.” Wow, a kiss from Helen of Troy! That would set my toes tapping! I remember, at the tender age of 12, a beautiful red-headed temptress, the same age as myself, who took a shine to me! She walked with me hand-in-hand around her parent’s old, but charming, farm house. Her name was also Helen, and as we made our approach to her front porch she asked me to kiss her on the veranda. Innocently, and naively, I replied: “What about just on the lips?”
But, back to our time machine! Wow, I could journey into the past to any time my heart desires. I would be tempted to journey way, way back to meet and converse with the greatest and wisest secular philosopher who ever lived --

Socrates, of ancient Greece! Yup, who was sentenced to death by being ordered to drink the dreaded poison, hemlock! I could learn much from Socrates, no doubt. And perhaps learn from his final words before dying: “I drank what?!”
Or, what about asking Pontius Pilate what went through his mind when condemning the historical Jesus of Nazareth to the cross? Legendary vaudeville and television comedian, Red Buttons, once quipped that Pontius Pilate might have said in the aftermath of his historic decision: “Well, I guess that blows my Christmas bonus!”
Having access to a time machine and time travel requires a lot of responsibility. Proper behavior would be a requirement lest you be separated from your head, via the grisly guillotine, the executioner’s method of choice during
the French Revolution!
On second thought, no thanks, I think I would relinquish journeying back to the French Revolution, after all!
If not France, what about England? It might be interesting to converse with England’s very first Queen Elizabeth! But then again, Queen Elizabeth might get angry with our unannounced visit with her. She might well reply to our time travel intrusion as such: “Not now, I’m on the throne!” I wouldn’t blame Queen Elizabeth for becoming upset at our sudden arrival in our time machine without making an appointment in advance! As previously stated, possessing a time machine certainly requires having responsibility, which includes protocol, and courtesy! All of which means being respectful in the presence of historical figures! For example, it

would be considered disrespectful to arrive in our time machine shortly (after) the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln! Ordinarily, we would be considered “fashionably late” in contemporary times.
Well, I think you understand the parameters which we need to be aware of.
Trying to decide where to go in our time machine would be a daunting task! As a sports fan I would think of visiting that immortal ball player, Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat! Or watching history’s greatest thoroughbred, the mighty Man o’ War, race around the oval in 1920, demolishing world records while still in a canter! Then again, if the romantic streak stirs within me, I may wish to see that vagabond, Robin Hood, a champion of the downtrodden who

stole from the rich and gave to the poor. It was Maid Marion who caught his fancy but, nevertheless, she never compromised her principles to Robin Hood when she demanded: “I will not live in a house with a Little John.”
Again, apologies for such diversions into historical humor. But then, I fault the concept of dealing with time machines, and time travel, as affording me a whimsical light-headedness. The idea of traveling through time is a most romantic one, full of adventure and danger! And certainly, aside from frivolity, we can perhaps learn from our past mistakes! After all, it was the great Spanish novelist and philosopher, George Santayana, who wrote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Ouch! We surely don’t wish to repeat all of our costly, and stupid, worldly mistakes, do we? Certainly, not! So, let us take to heart Santayana’s admonishment, and climb back on board that damned time machine and see what we can learn from our past errors! In light of what Mr. Santayana said, I may wish to journey back far enough to see where this whole worldly mess started! Where the world’s first maelstrom began: the Garden of Eden! Wow, just think, the Garden of Eden! The place of original sin that we have all inherited and are still suffering from, today! And the

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post, was one of the greatest political sages this country has ever known. Some of his sayings:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works. 4. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
place of first disobedience to God. That would be the genesis for everything: the first mistake, the first romance, the first kiss, the first deception, and even the first argument, which might have led to Adam’s first challenge to Eve: “What do you mean you have nothing to wear?!”
And it’s not just all about the past! What about the future? We could see where humankind is heading! We could journey forward, decades, centuries ahead, to glimpse the future! In regards to the future, I think more people believe in Santa Claus and Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, than that there will be social security checks waiting for them when they reach retirement! All kidding aside, time travel is quite an extraordinary notion to ponder!
I vividly recall the first time I ever saw that amazing movie, “The Time Machine,” on late-night television, which starred Rod Taylor and drop-dead gorgeous actress, Yvette Mimieux! Just how gorgeous was actress, Yvette Mimieux? Well, when I first laid eyes on her on my TV screen, I vividly recall mumbling to myself, “Lord, have mercy!” The aftermath included me having to take cold showers for, at least, a week! The movie, “The Time Machine,” was made back in 1960, but was clearly ahead of its time! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist that!) Anyway, the film discussed time travel in terms that we could all understand, at least in theory. And it was a fun, fascinating journey of imagination and ‘possible science.’

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
But, when did the concept of time travel and living in multiple universes (multiverse) first begin? And does contemporary science give these ideas any real credence?
First things first. The idea of moving forward or backward in time (without a physical time machine) goes as far back as ancient times. Matter of fact, the concept of time travel is so ancient that it predates the written word, and therefore, is older than recorded history. Its genesis, therefore, seems to evaporate into the early dawn of human civilization! Holy Toledo, that is old!
The concept of parallel worlds or people living in multiple universes is also far from being new. Modern science (as well as modern science fiction) has merely given time travel and multiple universes a new paint job! To the ancient world, it is an old “Dog and Pony Show!”
Early examples of the above can be found in the mythologies of Hinduism. The Hindu religion has ancient concepts of a multiverse (multiple universes), in which our world is just one of an infinite number of other distinct worlds! But, as previously stated, origin of these amazing ideas may be even older than these cited “source examples.” By the way, many modern religions, today, include an afterlife existence, such as heaven and hell, which have similar characteristics to parallel worlds and
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved. Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young. Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed. Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

other dimensions. Excuse my digression into humor, but, speaking of heaven and hell, a close friend recently confided: “Frederick, if I died right now, and went directly to hell – it would probably take me a week or two to realize I wasn’t at my job!” Back to time travel. Many early sources of time travel can be found in Buddhism, Japanese mythologies, even the Jewish Talmud. In the Talmud, therein lies the story of Honi ha-M’agel, who fell to sleep for 70 years only to wake up to a world where his grandchildren were now grandparents, and where all his friends and immediate family were long dead.
In more contemporary times, Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” (1843), illustrates time travel in both directions, as is seen in Ebenezer Scrooge being transported to Christmas past, present, and Christmas yet to come. However, this was different because, unlike many previous examples, Scrooge was unable to interact with those he saw in the past, present, and future. More provocative and groundbreaking, was Edward Everett Hales’ “Hands Off,” published in 1881. This was one of the first known stories to show an “alternate or parallel history” being created as a result of time travel.

an alternate or parallel world, occurs in the popular American movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” (1946), wherein the main character, George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart), journeys back in time with angelic help, to view how the past and present would be altered, or changed, if he (George Bailey) had never been born: for example, his brother, Harry, would have drowned without his intervention (he discovers his brother’s grave, in this journey to the altered past)! Consequently, the hundreds of servicemen his brother, Harry, would have saved in the war are also dead! George Bailey’s wife, Mary, who never loved anyone else except George Bailey, himself, would turn out to be a timid spinster who never married, working at the library, going through life as a lonely, old woman! And his home town of Bedford Falls is, in this alternate world, now named Pottersville, a sleazy town crawling with nightclubs, pawn shops, and immoral people! This travel backwards in time affords the character, George Bailey, to wish to return to the future (actually, his present), to continue living, and to offset these horrible past events! So powerful is this film’s storyline, involving time travel and altered worlds, that it is now among the most popular and cherished films in American cinema, and has become traditional viewing during the Christmas season! In fact, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” has been enshrined as one of the best 100 American films ever made, placing 11th on the All-Time Greatest Movie List!
However, all of the above reflects movement through time via dreams, visions, mythology, religious prophecy, or divine intervention (such as with the help of angels, as in the motion picture, “It’s a Wonderful Life.)

Can the concept of time travel actually alter or change history? Well, to interject some jocular, but true levity, I recall being a terrible student of history by my middleschool teachers! After grading papers from one of our history exams, my teacher called me into his office and, shaking his head, and looking down at my history quiz results, he quietly said to me: “Frederick, no one has changed the course of history as much as you did on this test.”
But, back to our notion of real time travel and time machines! And if the ability to travel back in time can really cause a chain reaction that could alter the past, present, and future! Yikes, that’s a very scary notion to reflect on! Well, other than my history test results, most reputable physicists say, “No.” In fact, the world’s leading physicists do not even give the possibility of altering the past any morsel of serious consideration, thus far.
One of the first time-travel stories to actually involve a physical time machine, upon which a person climbs onboard to journey through time, traces back to 1887, with Spanish novelist, Enrique Gaspar y Rimbau’s book, “El Anacronopete.” In this fantastic tale, a vessel is engineered by an inventor that affords its passengers the ability to travel through time! One question which begs to be answered is: If time travel and time machines are a real possibility in the distant future, why haven’t we experienced any visitors (or tourists) who are future time travelers?
Let’s drop in on one of the world’s keenest scientific minds and see what he has to say about all of this. Stephen Hawking, esteemed English theoretical physicist, casts doubt on time travelers visiting us from the future. According to Hawking, “The absence of tourists (or visitors) from the future is an argument

against the existence of time travel.”
Now, that is not to say that movement through time is not possible, according to Hawking. He is, specifically, stating that not experiencing future time travelers “creates” an argument against the existence of time machines. Such statements seemed to cast doubt on the topic.
Also, it depends on which “Hawking” you converse with. Early on, Stephen Hawking was “overly cautious” to the extent of, sometimes, reversing or compromising his views because of his fears of being misjudged, or labeled as a ‘kook’ by his contemporaries.
In more recent years, Hawking “came out of the closet,” in a manner of speaking, to confess that public, as well as scientific, peer pressure made him withhold some of his true scientific feelings and opinions on such topics as time travel and time machines. Hawking was courageous enough to openly admit to these fears, for the first time.
In Stephen Hawking’s own words, on April 27, 2010, posted on the U.K. Mail, he stated: “Time travel was once considered scientific heresy. I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labeled a crank. But these days I’m not so cautious.” Hawking’s new-found feeling of intellectual liberation allowed him ample opportunity to even delve into the frivolous: “I’m obsessed by time. If I had a time machine, I’d visit Marilyn Monroe in her prime or drop in on Galileo as he turned his telescope to the heavens. Perhaps I’d even travel to the end of the universe to find out how our whole cosmic story ends.” (Stephen Hawking in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, April 27, 2010.) One week later, Stephen Hawking reiterated his claim to Fox News Channel, stating that time travel

is, indeed, possible. As reported: “Famed astrophysicist, Stephen Hawking, believes humans are capable of time travel – and he’s not afraid to let everyone know.”
No longer in fear of peer pressure, Hawking went on the attack, on February 24, 2012, when he stated that four of the world’s leading physicists were wrong in their belief that time travel is not possible! This newly-liberated Stephen Hawking buttressed his opinions by quoting Sir Arthur Clarke: “When a distinguished scientist states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.” However, Hawking does set parameters on his own time travel views: though he believes time travel to the future is feasible, he equally believes it is “improbable” to journey into the past (and certainly not before the creation of the time machine, itself (if it were to stay within its own timeline of history). Also, Hawking remains pessimistic that such practical time travel would ever evolve during our lifetime. Nonetheless, prior to the debut of his PBS TV miniseries, “Stephen Hawking’s Universe,” Hawking relished being free from scientific peer pressure, and with new enthusiasm behind his views, he said with unswerving conviction that he believes humans could travel millions of years into the future and repopulate devastated planets. On network television, two weeks later, Hawking stunned the press by following up his previous statements with his belief that it is “Entirely reasonable to assume extraterrestrial aliens exist somewhere in space.” Hawking believes we can use time travel to reach these space aliens. However, the other shoe dropped, when Hawking warned the press that contacting intelligent extraterrestrial life forms may warrant second thinking -- they could be predatory!

On Wednesday, December 2nd, at 10:15 am, the City of Carlsbad Police Department received a report of a traffic collision involving a motor vehicle and multiple bicyclists in the 2400 block of Carlsbad Blvd. Officers responded to the scene and found that a 1998 Cadillac driven by a 36-year-old male had collided with three bicyclists.
City of Carlsbad Fire Department personnel responded and provided medical treatment to the injured bicyclists. One of the bicyclists was transported via helicopter and the other two were transported by ambulance to Scripps La Jolla Hospital where they were treated for their injuries. None of the injuries are believed to be life threatening.
A preliminary investigation has revealed that the Cadillac was driving southbound in the 2400 block of Carlsbad Blvd. The bicyclists appear to have been riding southbound in the bicycle lane in the 2400 block of Carlsbad Blvd. The Cadillac drove into the bicycle lane colliding with the three bicyclists.
The driver of the 1998 Cadillac has been identified as a 36-yearold male from Escondido. The driver was arrested at the scene of the collision. Alcohol or drug intoxication is suspected to be involved in the collision.
13-Year-Old Sex Trafficking Victim Rescued
On December 1, 2015, Task Force Officers from the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force rescued a 13-year-old female human trafficking victim from a motel in the city of Escondido.
The 13-year-old victim had been forced to prostitute out of the motel for several days and had been featured on a social media website that caters to prostitution and escort related services.
Acting on information provided by the Fresno Police Department Vice Unit, Task Force Officers and detectives from the Escondido Police Department were able to locate the 13-year-old victim in the motel and rescue her without incident. A second female was contacted at the scene and determined to be an 18-year-old female human trafficking victim as well. During the course of the investigation, one adult male and one juvenile male were identified and arrested as the human trafficking facilitators. Assisting in the investigation were the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the members of the Child Exploitation Task Force.

While we’re talking about Hidden Valley Kiwanis, we doff our sombreros to a group of hard charging guys and gals who turned up this past weekend to (a) help beautify Escondido by picking up trash on Rock Springs Road, just north of Mission Avenue; they included Rich Mullen, Jillian Mullen, John Trudell, Jim MacIsaac, and Paul Tullius, (b) showing up at Dixon Lake on Saturday and Sunday to help the Escondido Senior Anglers as they manned the “kiddy pond” and let kids fish and, often, catch their first fish ever, were Jim MacIsaac, Maurice Weaver, Sherri Weeks Rivera, Kevin Camperell, John Trudell, Fred Wollman, Cookie Comer, and the Escondido Senior Anglers.

In addition to the pie-inthe-face fund raiser, Geary is also leading a couple of busloads of people up to Pasadena on December 27th to decorate the Rose Bowl Floats, an annual event that Dave’s Hidden Valley Kiwanis Club of Escondido has supported for years.
As of this writing, there are 44 seats still available on the bus. Cost is $30 per person with snacks and soft drinks on the bus and dinner being served while working on the floats.

An Arizona couple, both well into their 70's, go to a Sex Therapist's office. The doctor asks, "What can I do for you?" The man says, "Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?"
The doctor raises both eyebrows, but he is so amazed that such an elderly couple is asking for sexual advice that he agrees. When the couple finish-
es, the doctor says, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse.." He thanks them for coming, he wishes them good luck, he charges them $50 and he says good bye. The next week, the same couple returns and asks the sex therapist to watch again. The sex therapist is a bit puzzled, but agrees. This happens several weeks in a row. The couple makes an appointment, has intercourse with no problems, pays the doctor, then leaves.
Finally, after 3 months of this routine, the doctor says, "I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Just what are you trying to find out?"
The man says, "We're not trying to find out anything. She's married; so we can't go to her house. I'm married; and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $98. The Hilton charges $139. We do it here for $50, and best of all.... Medicare pays $43 of it." Who said old people were dumb. ••••• You don't have to be into sports to enjoy these.

Fredrick's lead article on boys wanting to be girls was excellent in every respect. Very well written, researched and the flow, pace and length was perfect. By contrast, in the article on San Diego's Kumeyaay, Gomez abused his significant talents in an over- reaching Paean to his native heritage. I think his prose was a victim of his passion. I guess it is true that passion trumps art. One of these days I would like to meet Frederick.

Local Control: a Bulwark of our Republic
I am a strong supporter of maintaining the authority of city and county governments to decide local issues. My 14 years on the Escondido City Council as well as my service as a board member on the North County Transit District and as Escondido’s representative to the League of California Cities have reinforced my belief in the vital role played by local government in our state and nation. Our liberties are based on a system of checks and balances. In theory at least, local, state, and federal jurisdictions all balance and restrain overreaching power grabs by any branch of government that seeks to overstep its bounds.
This year a number of bills impacting local government were debated in Sacramento. Among these I was happy to support legislation facilitating the funding of Enhanced Infrastructure Finance Districts by local agencies, a

The donations were the result of a challenge to Post 149 members to donate food, toys and pajamas for military families. Donated items included 5 turkeys, 21 bags of food, 5 large boxes of canned food, 6 pairs of pajamas, assorted art books, Barbie dolls, and other various toys. A total of 537 pounds of food have been donated. Post 149 members include VFW, DAV, Auxiliary, SONs, Riders. The Blue Star Moms also participated.

package of bills regulating medical marijuana, including the ability of local governments to prohibit its cultivation, administrative adjustments to decrease the volatility of gas tax revenues as a result of price fluctuations, as well as new penalties for operating drones during wildfires in a way that impedes firefighters.
I am very pleased to report that the League of California Cities has analyzed votes on key bills introduced this session and that as a result of my strong stance in support of local control, I have joined several Assembly colleagues to receive the highest score awarded by the League. Maintaining the authority of city and county governments, with local officials deciding local issues, is obviously more efficient and likely to be more in line with public desires than decisions made hundreds or even thousands of miles away. More importantly, local jurisdictions, supported by informed and involved citizens, help keep us free.

The War of the Victorian Cousins
Following and understanding the history of Britain’s Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, their nine children, 20 grandsons and 22 granddaughters, is daunting at best.
The marriages of the nine Victorian children created their own “United Nations.” Up until the early part of the 20th century, royalty throughout Europe married off their sons and daughters to each other thinking it was a safe and prudent way to provide important alliances for diplomatic, military, economic, and social benefit. In most cases, including the marriage of Victoria and Albert, the marriages were arranged often without the two principles

ever knowing or even meeting one another.
The nine Victorian children, (in order of birth), Victoria, Albert Edward (King Edward VII), Alice, Alfred, Helena, Louise, Arthur, Leopold, and Beatrice, had children, many of whom were responsible for igniting a powder keg that would plunge the world into what was deemed “The War to End All Wars.” The Victorian cousins ended up ruling Germany, Russia, Norway, Greece, Romania, Spain, and of course, Great Britain.
Victoria’s and Albert’s first child, Princess Victoria, was married to Prussia’s (Germany) Crown Prince Frederick. From that marriage, Queen Victoria’s first grandchild became the future German Emperor, Wilhelm II, the leading bad guy in WWI. Prince Albert Edward, who, upon Victoria’s death, became King Edward VII, married Denmark’s Princess Alexandra. From that union came Britain’s future King George V, (the grandfather of present-day Queen Elizabeth II). Also, their daughter, Maud, became queen of Norway.
Princess Alice married Louis the IV, Grand Duke of Hesse (a small duchy in Germany). They had two sons and five daughters, one of whom became Russia’s Czarina Alexandra. She married Czar Nicholas II, whom, along with their family, were overthrown during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution. The storied career of Mountbatten, youngest son of Princess Victoria and Louis Battenberg IV, is a book in itself. As Britain’s Admiral of the Fleet, “Dickie” Mountbatten was the WWII Supreme Allied Commander of the Southeast Asia forces, and was the last Viceroy of India. Louie was the favorite uncle and mentor of present-day Prince Charles. Mountbatten was the uncle of Prince Phillip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II. (Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth II are third cousins). (Note: During World War I, Britain’s royal family changed their name from “Battenberg” to the less-German name of “Windsor.”
The Royal families of Europe were a maze of Victoria’s descendants. What was designed to be marriages of convenience, ensuring mutual benefit ended in a horrific World War. That tinderbox was ignited with the July 1914 assassination of Austria’s Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo, Bosnia.

‘Time Machine’ Cont. from Page 3
Oy vey! Perhaps we better park our time machine in the garage and stop signaling any neighbors we may have out in space!
Let’s cut to the chase: without the use of cosmic black holes, worm holes, and massive quantities of this-or-that negative ‘stuff,’ can we really create a time machine within our own generation, or the next? I don’t know about you, but I got ants in my pants over this! I like the way American futurist and theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku, thinks: “Once confined to fantasy and science fiction, time travel is now simply an engineering problem.” Better yet, Brian Greene (of “The Elegant Universe”), may hit closer to the truth: “All time travel theories operate at the very boundaries of known physics (today), and therefore are unlikely to work.” I like that! We are stuck in today’s science, so we’re unable to see “future discoveries in physics!” Sort of like Neanderthal trying to contemplate lasers, TV, airplanes and automobiles! Would Neanderthal think these things are a real possibility? Hell, he doesn’t even know what they are, much less imagine them! His brain is operating within the boundaries of his own capabilities! Therefore, all Neanderthal wishes to do is upgrade his current technology – like getting a bigger club to swing! American astronomer, cosmologist, and astrophysicist, Carl
Sagan (1934-1996), once suggested that time travelers could already be here, but are disguising or hiding their existence from us.
But, what about there being many versions of you, living in multiple universes (aka the multiverse)? Is this too silly to be taken seriously? Well, let’s drop in on Escondido’s own brilliant resident, Mike Romero, our armchair “physicist to the stars,” who says, “The multiverse is a consequence of string theory and is a serious consideration.” My follow-up question was, “How does the idea of multiple “Mike Romeros” residing somewhere else, in other worlds impact you?” Mr. Romero’s reply: “I’m amused by the idea that I am the President of the United States in one universe and a bum in another universe. An infinite number/versions of myself means an infinite number/versions of everyone else, as well.” In Newsweek Magazine’s “Tech & Science” section (July 9, 2015), Douglas Main discusses parallel universes and brings up some super incredible ‘what-ifs,’ that we have long discussed around the water cooler, such as: What if that giant asteroid missed our planet and the dinosaurs are still with us today in a parallel universe? Or a parallel world where Germany wins World War II. The idea of endless versions of our universe is staggering! This is the product of thinking stemming from the (aka M-Theory) today!
Unlike the old, dreary, and boring theories of science past, the younger generation, today, are
razor sharp, and well-educated on String Theory and its scientific implications! This younger generation comprise a vital demographic for The Paper. They approach me often on the street to comment on my articles, etc. We often underestimate them, yet they’re smart, and warrant recognition! TV programs like CBS’ highlyrated “The Big Bang Theory” has captured science and made it exciting and “fashionable” as never before, especially for today’s youth, who drive the ratings! The cast of roommates, Leonard and Sheldon, who are best friends and physicists at CalTech, and their circle of lovable egg-head friends is a most remarkable example of how a science-format TV show involving quantum physics, time travel, and multiple universes can – shockingly – achieve worldwide popularity among everyday common folk, as well as the young kids in schools across America! And the fast-moving scientific jargon spouted out by the sitcom’s characters is not wasted on the young. They eat it up, all of which means that the future looks bright and promising with our bright young minds in school today. A promising example is young 15year-old Sebastian Romero, current sophomore student at Mater Dei Catholic High School, in Chula Vista, California. This is no ordinary high school. Since its founding in 2007, this Roman Catholic High School has achieved international recognition and is fully accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), as well as the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA). These bright kids often read The Paper online!
So, I took the opportunity of sampling the future of America by asking a student of this prestigious high school, Sebastian Romero, what he thought about all the hoopla surrounding String Theory, and the hot topic of us living in multiple universes, that has captured world headlines. Sebastian says, “I believe that the idea of ‘multiple universes’ and ‘parallel universes’ have been exposed to the younger minds lately. Many PG movies and cartoons have had ‘parallel universes’ mixed into the formula. Even video games have had these ideas added in. I believe that most of society just accepts it as part of their culture nowadays.”
Sebastian Romero
Wow! I don’t know about you, but, I’m impressed with this sampling of the young student constituency, representing readership from San Diego’s south corridor!

Council Member, Represents District 3
A City Manager’s Role
For the occasional participant in local government – someone who might read the news, discuss politics with friends or who only pays attention to how a City runs when utterly upset about something – this might be useful random information. The mayor is not in charge of Escondido.
The City Manager is the person who has the most influence over how our City functions. The Council hires and supervises the City Manager – a professional administrator qualified to understand city finances, human resources and state mandates. Each elected official carries equal weight in the matters of setting policies that guide the City Manager, but no individual councilmember can give direction to the City Manager.
because many residents believe the Mayor runs the city, or that councilmembers can get things done easily. However, when I get a request or complaint from a constituent, I have to ask the City Manager to look into the matter. Although the public votes to elect its representatives, the most important person at City Hall is actually the City Manager.
Welcome to Graham Mitchell, the new Escondido is governed under the Council / Manager form of government. This is an important distinction Escondido City Manager.
‘Time Machine’ Cont. from Page 9
Back to our time machine! Speaking of time travel into the past, did you know that you can actually see into the past! No, not in the same way you look at a mountain, or fossil, and say, “Wow! I’m looking into the past!” That is imprecise, because you are looking at the mountain, or fossil, today! You see it as it exists today!
So, what is a real example of being able to peer into the far past, without using a crystal ball, that is? Well, every time you look into the sky, you are actually seeing things as they once were, in real time, that is, at the time that you are looking! To clarify, it takes the light of the sun 8 ½ minutes to
reach us here on Earth. That means, you are seeing the Sun, as it existed, 8 ½ minutes ago! You never can see the sun, or the moon, immediately, as you (normally) see objects and people in your everyday existence here on Earth.
Just imagine, at night when you see the distant stars, you are actually looking years into the past! Some of those stars may no longer be there, but you are still seeing them! In 1987, we discovered that a supernova occurred. A supernova is when a star explodes and eventually fades from view over several weeks or months. Well, the “Supernova 1987” actually exploded more than 190,000 years ago! And even though this star
was gone for that length of time, we just saw the explosion in 1987.
Just think, while our ancestors have been around for millions of years, modern humans (homo sapiens), first appeared on Earth, about 190,000 years ago! That’s when that supernova really exploded, when early humans were just beginning to walk the earth! Comedian Steven Wright once said, “I used to have an open mind, but my brain kept falling out.” Sometimes it becomes difficult to keep an open mind on such discussions as time travel and multiple universes we may all live in! Sometimes it’s a task to just remain serious about all of this. Ultimate truth can be so overwhelming as to render us giddy!
Which reminds me, did you hear about the lady who went to a psychiatrist and said: “Please help me, doctor! I keep seeing into the future!” The shrink asks, “When did this all start?” And the patient says, “Next Tuesday afternoon.”

The assassin was a Serbian. The Kingdom of Serbia was an ally of Russia; Bosnia was in the Austrian-Hungary Empire, an ally of Germany. This diplomatic mess set off a crisis causing Austria-Hungary to give Serbia an “or else” ultimatum, which invoked the series of royal alliances. Within a month the First World War began. During World War I, the primary royal heads-of-state were Queen Victoria’s grandchildren: Britain’s King George V, who was allied with France, as well as his cousin, Russia’s Czarina Alexandra. Those three nations formed the “Allied Forces.” On the other side, Cousin Wilhelm II, the Kaiser of the German Empire, was allied with Kaiser Franz Josef of the AustriaHungary Empire, as well as the Ottoman Empire (Turkey, and what today is Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Syria), forming the “Central Powers.” The war ripped Europe apart with only Britain’s monarchy surviving. The Russian revolution toppled Nicholas and Alexandra; Kaiser Wilhelm was banished to Holland; the AustriaHungary and Ottoman empires crumbled. Six descendants of Victoria and Albert were victims of assassination, all during the 20th century: Russia’s Alexandra and
her husband, Czar Nicholas II, their son, Alexei, daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia. The last was of Louis Mountbatten killed in 1979, by the IRA. This report is only the tip of the iceberg regarding European royal family inter-marriages. If you venture into the family lineage of Queen Victoria, be prepared to endure a mind-boggling, often confusing, family tree. It would take a sizeable book to explain everything -many of which have been written. Here’s a mystery novel idea: “Haunted Bones,” shipping free at: www.tomorrowsnovels.com

Paul & Nome Van Middlesworth, The Computer Factory

December at the Computer Factory
This December will complete our twentieth year at the Computer Factory. December is unique because there are fewer “business” days more personal days because of the holidays. From a business perspective, the need for repair and maintenance is about the same as any other month but the sale of upgrades and new desktop and notebook PCs takes on a different character. Home and business users have different motivations many find it a time to think about upgrades or new PCs.
About half of our users are businesses. If the past year has been a good year, as year- end nears savvy business owners look for ways to reduce their tax burden by taking deductible expenses in the current year. Computers are an excellent candidate for that
Home users aren’t motivated by tax considerations but the Christmas season is a time when many of us think about what dandy new things we can buy for our loved ones, including ourselves. Upgrading the family PC is a gift that keeps on giving.
The Computer Factory is unique in that PC’s are all we do. We don’t sell motorcycles, carburetors, refrigerators, cell phones, tablets or Apple’s i-Poop. We sell, repair, build, customize, upgrade and maintain Windows based desktop and notebook PCs for home and business, that’s all we do. We can do a better job of giving our users exactly what they want or need because we know this industry as well as anyone and we listen to our users better than anyone.
So what does that really mean to us? It tells us that the disc itself does have a God-given ability to heal and repair if provided the proper mechanisms for self-healing. There is a specific mechanism inherent in each of the spinal discs called the “pump mechanism of disc nutri-tion” (see Fig 1). When this mechanism is not working properly, the spinal discs will begin to die causing bulges, herniations, and eventually spinal stenosis.
The spinal disc is one of the very few tissues in the body that does not have a direct blood supply for circulation. The only way that the disc gets the circulation of water, oxygen and nutrients for self-repair is via this specific disc pump mechanism. What happens when you decrease cir-culation in any type of tissue, whether it be animal tissue, plant tissue or human tissue? Exactly, it begins to become weak and begins to degenerate.
Symptoms Are NOT The Problem
Now the symptoms of pain, numbness,
Technology is constantly evolving and what was a great solution last year may well have been superseded by an even better one this year. Bluetooth, SSDs, CPUs, memory, operating systems, optical drives, video, audio and “cloud” services. All these things are constantly changing. When it comes to helping you make informed decisions, Big Box retail sales personal are typically useless. In addition to knowing little about
their own products, what’s available or user needs, their job is to sell you what’s good for them, not what’s good for you.
Here at The Computer Factory our job is not to sell you a new PC or upgrade. Our job is to give you all the information you need to make the best decision for your home or business. Usually that works in our favor but it’s always up to you.
So if you need help making the best decisions for your home or business computing solutions, we are the only game in town. Combine that with the fact that we are local, friendly and easy to find and that makes it a nobrainer. See you soon.
We know that nearly all of our business users want PCs with Windows7 Pro, not Win8/8.1 or 10. We know that home and school users may need or prefer Win7 or 10 but nobody likes Win8. We know how to help XP, Vista and W8/8.1 users determine whether and how to migrate to a more current or better Windows in order to prolong the life of their PCs.
Whether it’s a twenty station business network or a standalone home PC, we absolutely know how to help our user avoid
Escondido, CA—In a 2002 issue of Neurosurgical Focus, a peerreviewed article was published by a Dr. Michael D. Martin, MD et al. in which the third sentence states: “The disc itself is active tissue that contains significant mechanisms for self-repair.” That article was published by a neurosurgeon and written directly for neurosurgeons.

spending too much or too little to meet their needs. We know how to build custom systems for solids modeling, super-gaming or video editing and we know when a three hundred dollar refurbished PC can fill the bill for the next five years.
brown leaves are the plant’s problem? Of course not, the leaves turning brown is just a condition that is telling you that there is something wrong with the plant. The plant is unhealthy and needs water and nutrients. You could spray paint the leaves green but it just covers up the condition. The underlying problem still exists and will continue to produce brown leaves until you fix the actual problem. and tingling that most experience with bulging, herniated or degenerative discs are NOT the problem. The definition of a symptom: “something that indicates the existence of something else.” It is just like the dashboard of your car telling you that something is wrong (brake lights out, engine needs checked, overheating, etc.) Those lights that appear in your car dash are NOT the problem. You can remove the lights surgically or put a piece of duct tape over the lights but the problem will NOT be fixed...the problem is still present.
Let’s take a look at a plant for example...if the leaves on a plant begin to turn brown, would you say that the
extent of your disc damage for only $70. This examination will consist of a detailed neurological evaluation, extensive orthopedic testing, and a detailed analysis of the findings of your evaluation. He will sit down with you and go over your condition with you in complete detail. You will know exactly what is causing all your pain (or other symptoms).
In your spine, when the pump mechanism of disc nutrition fails, the disc will begin to de-generate and become weak. This weakness in the disc is what produces the bulging, herniated, and degenerative discs.
The treatment that is provided at Dr. Heilman’s Spine and Neuropathy Care Center in Escondido is revolutionary and is specifically designed to artificially re-create the pump mechanism in the discs which allows the spinal discs to heal and repair. The best part of the treatment is that it uses no drugs, no injections, and no surgery. Plus it’s painless and many patients relax and fall asleep while undergoing the treatment. The amount of treatment needed to allow the discs to heal and repair varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and orthopedic evaluation. We do NOT accept everyone for treatment and will let you know if we can accept your case for treatment. Dr. Stephen Heilman, DC at the Spine and Neuropathy Care Center in Escondido, CA will do a spinal disc severity examination to determine the
Dr. Stephen Heilman, DC
Dr. Heilman will be offering this spinal disc severity examination from now until Thursday, December 31st, 2015.

The Doctor is In!
Tooth Preservation or Implant Placement
Long term tooth versus implant survival rates
Technological advances in the development of implants to replace "hopeless" or missing teeth along with a high predictability of survival rates has lead to the increasing popularity and clinical success of implants. This could result in the extraction of a person's natural teeth, that are salvageable, on the convenience rather than as a result of a comparative analysis between the survival of a natural tooth and its implant counterpart. Faced with the option of restoring a natural tooth versus extracting it and placing a dental implant, the doctor should take the following as well as others into consideration:
1. Is the tooth or area restorable? 2. Will it be strong? 3. What is the long term prognosis of the tooth vs. implant? 4. Compliance of the individual for maintaining the tooth or implant? 5. Does patient have systemic condition ie. diabetes, heart conditions, periodontal conditions. Also, smoking status. 6. Past experiences with patients tooth loss? 7. Long term survival of individual?
These are just a few factors affecting the patient. Financially, the patient should consider the cost of implants as well. They may not make a lot of difference with a single tooth, but if multiple sites are proposed, the cost factor can go up tremendously. If the tooth is restored in many cases, it can have a survivability that may equal, or even outlast the prognosis of an implant. Implants require good bone to survive, and if the bone is not adequate, additional bone must be provided to the site including bone grafts and/or sinus lifts, etc. This may also add to both the expense and time required to place an implant. After an implant fails, the next step is placing another implant.
Researchers report significantly lower success rates for reimplantation than for the original implant. With a tooth that started in the mouth by nature, if it is restorable, it frequently will last a long time without the amount of bone required by an implant.
There are many things to consider in deciding whether to place an implant versus restoring the tooth. As doctors we have patients come in every day with the idea of removing a tooth and placing an implant. On the other hand, we, as practitioners, have to resist the impulse to automatically go with the patient's wishes look-
ing more thoroughly at the overall results. If the bone is adequate and the natural tooth cannot be restored then the implant is chosen. However, in many cases, the patient is not adequately informed as to the survivability of the proposed implant and it is our responsibility to inform them of situations where the natural tooth may be the better choice in the long term. We do both procedures here at San Marcos Dental Center, but we thoroughly evaluate both options before suggesting a solution. Call us at 760 7344311!
