- Great Ambiance, Okay FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/29/2014I picked this place solely for it's environment. The food was fine enough, but it wasn't anything that I would write home about. The ambiance was fantastic though. The covered patio has great string lighting all over the place with plenty of plant decor. Very romantic and warm feel to it. I love it for that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just okOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/29/2014was excited to try because the patio was so beautiful and it looked like a family neighborhood gem. had the portabella mushroom ravioli, which had a overpowering sauce that looked like brown gravy. my kids had chicken parmesan and the marinara sauce had little to no flavor, tasted like it came from the can. my husband had zuppe de mar which he loves, the fish was a bit chewy and smelly. the deserts and meatballs were good as well as the kale caesar salad, however that's not enough to go back. The waitress was sweet but overwhelmed and didn't really give any distinctive recommendations other than "she liked seafood".Special Features:
- great food in the hoodRemyVIPDined on 9/29/2014Just a great neighborhood place with magical cusine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fabulousOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/27/2014It w as s a wonderful evening There were 9 of us and everyone truly enjoyed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- deliciousbuckeyegirlVIPDined on 9/26/2014Awesome meatballs. Delicious beet salad. Great fruit di mare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Italian!goodfoodomnivoreVIPDined on 9/26/2014We liked our meal overall. The seafood appetizer was excellent and the pasta-orriechetti(sp) with sausage-was also first rate. The short ribs were very nice-slow cooked, lean and flavorful. The fried calamari, veal and salmon were OK-nothing special but respectable. The key lime pie was delicious and the tirsmisu was bigger and less alcoholic flavored than most. The dark Italian beer was a fun discovery.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Neighborhood SpotincognitoDined on 9/21/2014This is a very high quality neighborhood restaurant in terms of food, ambiance and service. The big treat is the semi-outdoor annex with beautiful flowers and other greenery. The food and service were excellent and the price, although not cheap, is an overall good value. Generally available free parking provides added value.Special Features:
- The Owners are my friends and ...BaghereseDined on 9/19/2014... I never worry that my friends will embarrass me when I bring guests who have never dined there before. In fact, people I bring with me always thank me for introducing them to Fiorentino's. The food is fresh, the cuisine authentic and the service always professional. The covered garden dining area is away from the kitchen so the only sounds you hear are the clinking of wine glasses as people toast something or other or "oohs" and "aahs" as they savor an appetizer or entree. Go and clink glasses and ooh and aah yourself.Special Features:
- Great place and great service!ItaliandinerDined on 9/12/2014Although we arrived an hour late for our reservations we were greeted gleefully and seated immediately. Our waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and the offerings as well as the preparations. The food was delicious. As an Italian, I cN vouch for the authenticity of the food. We will definitely return and will recommend Fiorentino's to our friendsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CoacDined on 8/30/2014We both were very happy with our meals. Service was also very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. Well Done!Special Features:
- Authentic Italian done rightDiner81Dined on 8/23/2014We were highly recommended Fiorentino's by a server at another restaurant on our recent trip to Chicago. The food was excellent and cooked well sadly our server showed little care with explaining the food or making us feel welcome. Listening to other servers it seems that our server did not represent the majority of the staff and this wouldn't prevent us from recommending this to others.Special Features:
- Excellent food but expensiveJT96VIPDined on 8/20/2014The food is always very good but not cheap. We are always surprised on how much we end up spending. Will return though but definitely a special occasion place. Our 9 and 6 yr old love it too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/8/2014Our first visit to Fiorentino's & it was terrific. Good menu choices with excellent flavors to the food. Server was very knowledable and helpful. Great neighborhood find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good menuleepontonDined on 8/2/2014Fiorentinos has a broad selection of our favorite Italian dishes, plus some interesting variations. The Spaghetti Vesuvio was very good. Huge portion. Veal piccata was perfect. What's odd is the fully-enclosed "outdoor" patio. We were lucky it was only 72 outside. Any warmer and that patio would be like a greenhouse on a hot day. You should opt to eat inside.I would recommend this to a friend.
- great covered patiobuckeyegirlVIPDined on 7/25/2014Ricotta gnocchi delicious. Arancini yummy. Very crowdedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/18/2014The food was excellent. Our waitress was funny, friendly and fantastic. It was a fun start to a Friday night for our group of 6!
- Charming atmosphere!NanaDined on 7/14/2014Lovely place, great service and very charmimg however, menu is a bit limited for basic italian food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is fantastic. Service was poorSeanVIPDined on 7/13/2014Frutti di mare was spot on. Kale Caesar was a nice twist on the classic. Service was poor. No follow up to see if the meal was acceptable. Fortunately, food was terrificSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but overpricedlizardkingDined on 7/12/2014Food was good but overpriced. Menu not all that creative. Gnocci was awesome. Wait staff seemed to be highly stressed - lots of bickering and sour looks.
- Always superbLandSVIPDined on 7/6/2014We took two of our good friends to dinner Sunday night and had a wonderful dining experience. Great food, great drinks, wonderful garden setting, moderate to low noise level so conversation could be heard. Even though dinners at $$, they are well worth it. Never disappointed at selection or quality.Special Features:
- Sicilian cookingMaamDined on 7/5/2014Never written a review before but this restaurant deserves my time for its Sicilian cooking.We were 8 meals but the standout was the Penne Siciliana which is penne pasta with eggplant in a marinara sauce.The taste of Italian marinara is very regional, some acidic or tart & some sweet, this sauce brought me back to my grandmother's kitchen.The sauce was SMOOTH with a delightful sweet taste on the tongue.Every bite made you say this is how grandma's tasted.If you don't like a sweet sauce this is not for you but for those who grew up with it don't miss this.Another speciality was the Arancini, Rice balls can get heavy and pasty these were light and moist another don't miss! Grilled octopus, great lamb chops other pasta no complaints Thumbs up!Special Features:
- always a treatgirlsnightDined on 6/28/2014Fiorentino's never disappoints, their specials are amazing and they could even accommodate one of our party with food allergies. The stuffed gnocchi is the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great in the rainRemyVIPDined on 6/21/2014We were hit by a huge storm and this place still rocks..! Everything was wonderful as always!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved Fiorentinosvts5910Dined on 6/20/2014We have visited this restaurant twice now. Ambience is great, food is very good and reasonable. Service is always good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great findAvgJoeDined on 6/17/2014i have lived in the area two years and only driven by the place. biggest mistake. this place is a gem. food is good, service is impeccable, prices could be better but what can you expect in the area.Special Features:
- It's a favorite in our family!KrugFamilyDined on 6/15/2014The food is ALWAYS good. The staff is great and the ambiance is welcoming. We go to Fiorentino's for almost all our special gatherings. Our son moved to the neighborhood 7 years ago and decided to try it out and we have all been going since.Special Features:
- Special place!CarlyVIPDined on 6/7/2014I've been coming to Fiorentino's for a couple years now, and again and again I am reminded of how special of a place it is. I dined there on Saturday evening with my boyfriend's family, during their 8th anniversary special. The place was full of big groups enjoying the beautiful patio ambience! This time around, we shared the bruschetta and mussels to start -- both fantastic. And for an entree, I had the special grouper -- my favorite entree thus far at Fiorentino's. I'd recommend this place to anyone!Special Features:
- Felt neglectedcalgalDined on 6/7/2014Unfortunately we did not have the greatest service. Our waiter kept telling us he would be back in a minute, which in reality was 20 minutes every time. At one point he even said that he was "really busy with another big table in another room". Hey buddy, I don't care, we are here to enjoy ourselves for a great dinner too. Food was good - nothing remarkable. In my opinion service is everything and will even make up for mediocre food and this place just missed the bar.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/7/2014We celebrated my husband's birthday with our daughter, son-in-law and their 9 month old son. Fiorentino's provided excellent service and the food was delicious. We have eaten there before and it has become our favorite restaurant to eat at when we are visiting our daughter in Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 386 reviews are from the Fiorentino's reviews archive.
- Great Place!Luv2eatDined on 5/31/2014Went to Fiorentino's to celebrate a birthday. Food was great! Everyone in our group had fish - either salmon or the sea bass special. The Caesar salad was also very good with a unique homemade dressing. Will definitely be returning.Special Features:
- IzzyDined on 5/31/2014Good solid Italian food with lots of choices. Preferred old menu to the new one they are now using.Special Features:
- Great outdoor patioOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/24/2014I recall enjoying the food more years ago. The food was good, but the prices were high for sub-par food. The ambiance is excellent and the service is great. I just wish the food was as good as it use to be.Special Features:
- Secret GardenOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/24/2014What a pleasant surprise to enter this beautiful restaurant! The food was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was fantastic, but...jnshimkoDined on 5/18/2014...the service was a little lacking. This was our second juant to Fiorentino's and we chose it this time specifically because of the great time we had previously. However, it seems the waiter had a hard time discerning from when the table wants to take things slow and enjoy our meal as an experience and when the table wants basic service. He attended to the table diligently at first, but when he realized we weren't going to order everything at once and that we were going to pace ourselves, it seemed we had to hunt him down, literally, when we were ready for the next phase. It's not hard, really, to see when a table is ready for the next step or even needing something, especially when the credit card is on the table in plain view.Special Features:
- Great Food/Some Service IssuesOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/17/2014We arrived on time for our reservation,our table was available, but we had to wait 20 minutes so they could make our 2-seat table a 4-seat table (why for 2 people). My friend complained, the manager offered us free drinks (neither of us drink). We ordered our food, the server had ordered the wrong thing for my friend. When they brought out the correct thing, it was breaded, and my friend (and I) has a gluten allergy that we discussed in GREAT detail with the server before ordering. The manager got involved and my friend ordered something else, and they picked up the tab. My meal was great, my friend's was ok (she's never happy anywhere). I thought they handled the situation really well, the server did too, I would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, warm atmosphereMarshmanVIPDined on 5/16/2014Fiorentino's is the perfect neighborhood restaurant: The food is consistently excellent, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Unlike some restaurants, this is not a museum for food. It's a place where you can come with friends, have a really good, enjoyable meal, drink some very good wine and not spend a fortune. We come here all the time and plan to keep coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Memorable Mothers Day DinnercelebrationDined on 5/11/2014We were seated immediately upon our arrival. Our request for 2 high chairs was met. The waitress was friendly and very patient. We placed our order and had to wait quite a while for the food to arrive. I think it's because there were many families due to it being Mothers Day. Once the food arrived, we were very pleased with all of our entrees. We had pastas, fish, chicken, and veal orders at our table. Everyone was very satisfied with the dishes they chose. Fiorentino's has a lovely dining room as well as a beautiful outdoor patio. Each of the mothers at our table also received a $20 gift card for future visits. Nice extra touch.Special Features:
- Great Service & FoodkellikelupDined on 5/9/2014Our Opentable reservation hit a snafu, but Fiorentino's was great and accommodated our party of 6 ASAP in the outdoor seating area. The food was delicious, and our party was very pleased with everything! We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- Good placeOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 5/9/2014My wife and I have been here several times. The food is yummy, we will definitely be going back!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Warm and friendlyBlueVintonDined on 5/3/2014This is a neighborhood restaurant that is accommodating on many levels. It's very family friendly, as we saw parents with their little children. It's also gluten-free friendly, as they have a special menu available. The service was attentive and helpful. The food was generous, simple and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor patio area. We will be back.Special Features:

In past elections, some third-party and independent candidates have played a role in shaping the national agenda. H. Ross Perot, who ran in 1992 and 1996, kept the national debt and the North American Free Trade Agreement at center stage in the campaigns in those years. This year, former Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.) is running as a Libertarian and making a much smaller splash than Perot did. Barr is an interesting one, said Richard Colven, vice president of industry analysis at the research firm Input. Hell be more of a shaper of the Republican side more than the Democratic side in terms of pushing them more toward smaller government, traditional conservative values.Barr is savvier, more so than McCain, on how technology can be used, Colven added.

we just want you to buy and maintain the office, hire the personnel, and pay for the counseling that leads to the abortion with your tax dollars.
we want you to pay for our choice.
it's not as simple as "don't have one."
Why not? I don't support wars, but my tax money goes to the military. I don't need a pacemaker, but my tax money goes to give old people health insurance.
Abortion is a legal medical procedure, and as such, there is no reason to block tax money from supporting it just because silly people don't understand why it's needed
things i think are funny:
1. she thinks i'm for universal healthcare and that i want to pay for anyone's pacemaker.
2. she's comparing an abortion to someone needing a pacemaker.
am i the only one that sees an issue with this?
3. she thinks that people should pay for abortions with their taxes because they're "needed" when some girl falls off the barstool drunk with her legs open. seriously people, educate yourselves. birth control. condom.
you know what. nevermind. i've converted to pro-choice. maybe people will stop reproducing stupidity.
UHM. WHAT? "Stupidity"? You don't even know what type of people get abortions. "When some girl falls off the barstool drunk with her legs open"?
1) That's slut shaming and rape apologetic in the same sentence. 73% of women KNOW their assailant- it doesn't happen at a bar by a stranger. It doesn't matter if she's drunk, if a woman cannot consent to sex it's rape and saying that she doesn't "need" an abortion after being violated is completely invalidating her experience. She may FEEL like she needs it in order to get control over her life again. Rape victims are three times more likely to suffer from depression, six times more like to suffer post-traumatic stress disorder, and four times more likely to contemplate suicide. When you have all these things happening to you from something you had no choice in, it's important to have a choice about your body and your pregnancy.
2) The majority of women who seek abortions- 54%- were using some form of contraception that FAILED. Because as you know NO CONTRACEPTIVE IS 100% AFFECTIVE. Not even ABSTINENCE because there are things like sexual assault that get in the way of that.
3) About 61% of abortions are obtained by women who have one or more children. And about 55% are/were in a COMMITTED cohabitation/married relationship (at least when they had their first child). Not to mention the reasons for getting abortions are varied and diverse: three-fourths of women cite concern for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.
she thinks that people should pay for abortions with their taxes because they're "needed"
Yes, some abortions are NEEDED. Let's start with health reasons first; late term abortions in the U.S.- that's an abortion past twenty weeks- account for a little over 1.5%. Late term abortions are WANTED pregnancies, they're illegal in most cases UNLESS the fetus isn't viable (it's going to be born stillborn or die moments after birth) OR it's endangering the mother's health/well being/life. Some of these stillborn cases are even caught early on; why should a woman BE FORCED to go through nine months of gestation just to give birth to a baby that will die in her arms or be born dead?
Now let's move on to financial reasons. Pregnancy is EXPENSIVE if you don't have insurance, about 42.6 million Americans do not have health insurance. A NORMAL pregnancy (with no complications) usually cost about $16,000, this is with a normal vaginal delivery and MINIMAL parental care (if you want pain killers or any anesthesia during the delivery, or need an ambulance ride to the hospital the price goes up); if the mother needs a c-section the price jumps to $18,000. "Babies born to mothers who received no prenatal care are 3 times more likely to be born at low birth weight and 5 times more likely to die than those whose mothers received prenatal care" according to the Department of Health and Human Services. How does this relate to a woman needing an abortion? Well the MAJORITY of women who get abortions are poor! Forty-two percent of women obtaining abortions have incomes below 100% of the federal poverty level ($10,830 for a single woman with no children). Twenty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions have incomes between 100-199% of the federal poverty level. Remember 61% of women obtaining have ONE OR MORE child, these statistics are for women without children; don't forget she has to continue to pay for that baby once she has it! Even basic conveniences like disposable diapers cost mothers $200-$300 in the first year alone. Abortion is a one time cost of $800 AT MOST, and around $400 on average. When a poor women who can't afford an abortion or a child but people- Government run insurance like Medicaid- are willing to help them pay for their pregnancy it normally doesn't work out well either. So unless you plan on helping all these poor women through their thousand dollar pregnancies and then continue to help pay for an extra child they KNEW they couldn't afford I suggest you back off on your idea of the word "need".
Not to mention, we don't "need" war, as the original responder said, but our tax dollars are still paying for that. I don't need my county officials to be paid a higher salary than most of the people in my state, my tax dollars still go to that.
she's comparing an abortion to someone needing a pacemaker. am i the only one that sees an issue with this
JUST like a pacemaker abortion has SAVED LIVES. When abortion was illegal an ESTIMATED 160 to 260 women died each year from illegal abortions, while thousands more were seriously injure. That fetus you think is a person died with them, so double that number for your standards. Even if you want to talk about an abortion LITERALLY saving someone's life it has, I posted the story above but I'll post it again for you.
she thinks i'm for universal healthcare and that i want to pay for anyone's pacemaker
Wait, wait. You're "pro-life", right? But you don't care that around 45,000 people are dieing because they're uninsured? Yeah, that's really "pro-life" right there.
The original point is valid. If you don't want an abortion, don't have one. Educate yourself before you make an argument otherwise that "stupidity" line is valid all around, you dig?
This is a much better written version of my general views.
ninapedia is a shining star.
Again, this was in response to the OP claiming they were pro-life but couldn't care less about people who were...
I want to marry these people.
Quite possibly the best pro-choice rant I have ever read!
45 million legal abortions happened since 1973. thats much more than 45,000. We pro-lifers have our priorities straight...
Well that person sounds like a debater with all those statistics and angry words and whatnot.
Fuck yes.
hahahahahaha BAM. roasted indeed.
Woah, she roasted hard and thank goodness for that.
This is a beautifully sourced & put together response.
Reblogging for the great discussion.
h8 ppl. epic ownage may have made up for it.
Beautifully articulated. So many people forget that abortions going to people who just can't keep their legs closed is...

DAWN mortality data are collected in participating medical examiner and coroner offices through a retrospective review of case records for every death investigated by the medical examiner or coroner. Families are never interviewed. The review of source records is performed by a trained DAWN reporter in each member facility. Depending on the needs of the facility, the DAWN reporter may be an employee of the death investigation jurisdiction or an employee of the DAWN operations contractor.
Within each facility that participates in DAWN, the designated DAWN reporter reviews all death records to identify deaths related to drug use. The DAWN reporter submits an electronic case report to the DAWN system for each death that meets the specific case selection criteria.
A DAWN case is any death related to recent drug use. DAWN includes deaths associated with substance abuse and misuse, both intentional and accidental. DAWN also includes deaths related to the use of drugs for legitimate therapeutic purposes. To be a DAWN case, the relation between the death and the drug need not be causal; the drug needs only to be implicated in the death.
The case criteria are intended to be broad and inclusive and to have few exceptions. DAWN cases are found through a retrospective review of death records.1 Broad criteria take into account the fact that documentation in death records varies in clarity and comprehensiveness across medical examiners/coroners. Broad criteria minimize the potential for judgments that could cause data to vary systematically and unexpectedly across reporters and jurisdictions. In addition, broad criteria are designed to capture a very diverse set of drug-related deaths, which can be aggregated and disaggregated to serve a variety of analytical purposes and the interests of multiple audiences. In DAWN, only recent drug use is included,2 and the reason a patient used a drug is irrelevant.
There are some clearly delineated exceptions to the DAWN case criteria. A death is not a DAWN case if:
The case report form showing all the data items collected by DAWN is provided in Figure A-1. This is a representation of the form on paper, whereas all DAWN data are submitted electronically. The electronic system, for example, permits the submission of more drugs than are shown on the paper form.
Manner of death is a particularly important part of the death records because it is used to determine if the death is a case of drug misuse/abuse. As depicted in Figure A-2, the DAWN Decision Tree, each death is assigned to one of seven manners of death as follows:
Each DAWN case is assigned to one, and only one, of the seven manner of death categories based on the series of questions and decision rules depicted in the decision tree. Starting at the top, each case is assigned to the first manner of death that applies, even if the case might also meet the rules for a subsequent category. The seven categories were ordered with this in mind.
The final two categories, all other accidental and could not be determined, were designed to capture all of the drug-related deaths that could not be classified in any of the prior case types. Could not be determined cases include those that are ruled by the ME/C explicitly as "could not be determined" (i.e., the evidence was inconclusive with regard to whether the death was accidental, suicide, or homicide).
DAWN includes all types of drugs.3 Drugs in DAWN include:
To be reportable, a nonpharmaceutical substance must be consumed by inhalation, sniffing, or snorting, and it must have a psychoactive effect when inhaled. A death involving inhalation of a nonpharmaceutical, psychoactive substance and no other drug qualifies as a DAWN case. Carbon monoxide is excluded from the inhalants, as noted above. Beginning in 2004, deaths involving accidental exposures (e.g., exposure to paint fumes while painting a closet) are excluded as well.
Several methods are used to improve the quality and reliability of DAWN data. These include:
In addition to these steps, each ME/C receives a summary of the drug-related deaths submitted for each of his or her jurisdiction(s) after the data for the year are closed out. This final step provided an opportunity for the ME/Cs to approve or reject the data used for this publication. Any rejected data are reconciled to the satisfaction of the ME/C before they are used in this publication.
ME/Cs participate in DAWN on a voluntary basis and constitute neither a sample nor a census of ME/Cs in the United States. ME/Cs are invited to join DAWN based on their location in selected metropolitan areas. Recruitment efforts focus primarily on areas where DAWN data are also collected from hospital emergency departments. In addition to recruitment targeted at metropolitan areas, DAWN has added States with centralized medical examiner systems to gain a better understanding of drug-related mortality outside of the targeted metropolitan areas.
A death investigation jurisdiction typically corresponds to a county. In the rare instances with multiple jurisdictions in a single county, the jurisdictions are combined and reported at the county level. For participating states, every county within the state is included in DAWN.
The metropolitan-area definitions used in this publication are those established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and updated in 2003. These definitions can be found in the OMB publication Revised Definitions of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, New Definitions of Micropolitan Statistical Areas and Combined Statistical Areas, and Guidance on Uses of the Statistical Definitions of These Areas, Bulletin No. 03-04, June 6, 2003, which can be accessed at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/bulletins/b03-04.html.
1 This review is conducted by "DAWN reporters" described above.
2 That is, patients with a history of drug use (and no recent use) are excluded.
3 The classification of drugs used in DAWN is derived from the Multum Lexicon, © 2005, Multum Information Services, Inc. The classification schema was modified to meet DAWN's unique requirements (2006). The Multum Licensing Agreement governing use of the Lexicon is provided in Appendix C and can be found on the Internet at http://www.multum.com.
This glossary defines terms used in data collection activities, analyses, and publications associated with the mortality component of the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN).
Accidental ingestion: This category includes deaths resulting from accidentally or unknowingly ingesting a drug as denoted by ME/C.
Adverse Reaction to Medication: This category was designed to capture natural or accidental deaths as the result from an adverse reaction to a prescription drug, over-the counter medication, or dietary supplement.
All other accidental: See Drug Misuse.
Body systems: Refers to neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, respiratory, musculoskeletal, skin and soft tissue, lymphatic, endocrine, head and neck, abdominal and/or multi-system conditions identified in the chain of events that led to the drug-related death. (See also Cause of death.)
Case type: See Manner of death.
Cause of death: The chain of events (diseases, injuries, or complications) that caused the death, as recorded on the death certificate. A death can have multiple causes. The immediate cause is listed first and is followed by contributing causes listed sequentially, ending with the underlying cause. Other significant conditions that contributed to the death are listed separately.
Coroner (C): Death investigation jurisdictions typically use either a medical examiner system or a coroner system. Unlike medical examiners, coroners need not be physicians; usually the only prerequisite for serving as a coroner is that the individual be more than 18 years of age and a resident of the county or district to be served. Coroners are typically elected rather than appointed. They may have jurisdiction over counties or districts within states. (See also Jurisdiction and Medical examiner.)
Could not be determined: See Drug Misuse.
Drug: This refers to a substance that was recorded in a DAWN case report. Substances accepted by DAWN include alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and nonpharmaceutical inhalants. Multiple substances ("drugs") can be reported for each DAWN case. Therefore, the total number of drugs exceeds the total number of DAWN cases reported. (See also Single-drug case.)
Drug category: A generic grouping of related pharmaceuticals or other substances reported to DAWN, based on the classification of Multum Information Services. Multum Information Services, a subsidiary of the Cerner Corporation, is a developer of clinical drug information systems and a drug knowledge base. More information is available at http://www.multum.com. In general, the Multum categories follow the therapeutic uses for prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals.
Additional clarification is provided for the following drug categories:
Drug misuse/abuse: A group defined broadly to include case types related to drug misuse or abuse. Additional clarification is provided for the following case types:
Drug-related death: Any death related to recent drug use. To be a DAWN case, a drug needs only to be implicated in the death; the drug does not have to have caused the death. Even if only one drug is reported, it should not be assumed that the substance was the sole and direct cause of the death. (See also Single-drug case.) Drug-induced deaths are those for which the drug(s) directly caused the death.
Homicide: See Drug Misuse.
Jurisdiction: DAWN uses the term "jurisdiction" to mean the geographic area for which a medical examiner's or coroner's office is responsible. In many States, there is a one-to-one correspondence between jurisdictions and counties. In some States, there are multiple jurisdictions within a given county, or there may be multiple counties covered by a "district" that includes one or more medical examiner or coroner offices. Some States are organized as a single statewide jurisdiction.
Understanding jurisdictions is important because this assists readers in interpreting aggregated data. For publication, DAWN mortality data are aggregated into metropolitan areas, which often comprise multiple jurisdictions. In some States, there are different death investigation procedures for different jurisdictions (most notably, some jurisdictions have medical examiner systems, while others have coroner systems). There are nearly always some differences in death investigation procedures across States (and notably, some metropolitan areas include jurisdictions in multiple states). Readers should be mindful of these variations when interpreting or comparing data.
Manner of death: A classification used to group similar DAWN cases. Each case is coded into one and only one category, the first that applies from the following hierarchy: suicide, homicide by drugs, adverse reaction to medication, overmedication, accidental ingestion, all other accidental, and could not be determined. The manner of death categories used by DAWN draw from but do not duplicate the manner of death recorded on the death certificate. (See DAWN Decision Tree.)
Medical examiner (ME): Death investigation jurisdictions typically use either a medical examiner system or a coroner system. Most medical examiners are licensed physicians or forensic pathologists and are generally appointed (rather than elected). They may have jurisdiction over a county, district, or an entire State. (See also Coroner and Jurisdiction.)
Metropolitan area: An area comprising a relatively large core city or cities and the adjacent geographic areas. Conceptually, these areas are integrated economic and social units with a large population nucleus. This DAWN publication utilizes areas defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 2003, based on population data from the 2000 decennial Census.
Overmedication: See Drug Misuse.
Place of death: The location that best describes where the death occurred. The place of death categories on the DAWN data collection form are:
Race/ethnicity: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is responsible for standard protocols for the collection of data on race and ethnicity by federal systems, including DAWN. In October 1997, OMB issued a revised standard protocol, which permitted separate reporting of race and Hispanic ethnicity, the ability to capture more than one race for an individual, modifications in nomenclature (e.g., "Black" was changed to "Black or African American"), division of certain categories ("Asian or Pacific Islander" was split into two categories, "Asian" and "Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander"), and elimination of the "Other" category. For data collections, such as DAWN, where self-identification of the individual is not feasible, the revised OMB protocol also permitted a combined format, whereby race and Hispanic ethnicity would be recorded in a single data item, which could still record multiple entries for race and/or Hispanic ethnicity.
Since January 2003, DAWN has collected data on race/ethnicity using the combined format. The race/ethnicity categories on the DAWN data collection forms are as follows:
Despite the increased detail allowed by these categories and the provision for multiple entries, the actual race/ethnicity data reported to DAWN is quite limited because race and ethnicity are often not documented with this level of specificity in patient/decedent records. As a result, the classification used to tabulate DAWN data has a more limited set of categories, as follows:
Single-drug case: A single-drug case is one in which only one drug was involved. Because multiple substances may be recorded for each DAWN case (see Drug), readers should be cautious in interpreting the relationship between a given drug and the number of associated visits or deaths. For example, if the source record for a patient/decedent documented marijuana use, this does not mean that marijuana was the only drug involved in the visit/death or that the marijuana caused the visit/death. One should always consider whether and how many other drugs were used in combination. Even then, attributing a causal relationship between the visit/death and a particular drug may not be possible. DAWN only captures single-drug visits/deaths involving alcohol if the decedent was younger than age 21.
Suicide: This category includes cases denoted by the ME/C as suicide if the decedent took their own life and legal or illegal drugs had been involved: drug use need not have been the cause of death.
Toxic effects: Injury, illness, or damage that can be attributed to the ingestion of a drug. (See also Cause of death.)

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
The FBI believes they have identified the suspected child predator dubbed "John Doe 27" and his location in the Midwest.
FBI spokesman Paul Daymond says no warrants have been issued and no arrests made yet in this case, but they made procress in the case thanks to tips from the Nov. 12 publicity campaign. In a statement, the FBI thanked the public for their help in potentially identifying the suspect.
Daymond did not specify which part of the Midwest investigators believe John Doe 27 may be in.
The FBI released images John Doe 27 on Tuesday, asking the nation for help identifying the man in the photographs. He is suspected of child exploitation and sexually abusing a minor.
The FBI says video of the John Doe 27 engaging in sexually explicit activities with a child surfaced online in April 2013 and came to the attention of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. The FBI says the images are still circulating on child pornography forums online.
John Doe 27 is described as a white male in his 40s or 50s with brown hair, graying sideburns and a bald spot. He wears glasses and a ring on the ring finger of his right hand. Authorities say he has a Southern accent and refers to himself as Jimmy. The FBI also released an image of a distinct plaid chair believed to be in John Doe 27's home. They hoped all these details would lead to his identification.
The FBI says they will not make any further comments about the case since the investigation is ongoing.

June 1 is the first day of hurricane season. Forecasters believe this will be another active season for the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. South Louisiana has had more than its fair share of hurricanes in recent years.
In addition to major hurricanes like Katrina and Rita, we've seen that even less powerful storms can produce major damage. Category 2 Gustav knocked out power for weeks in some places in 2008, while last year, Isaac - a category 1 - produced flooding that had never been seen before in many spots.
Let these recent experiences be a reminder that every storm is different and poses its own set of threats. They should all be taken seriously. The WAFB Storm Team will help get you prepared with its annual hurricane special - The Fifth Season - airing Monday at 6:30 p.m.
The team will take a look back at the flooding from Isaac, changes to the flood insurance program and much more. Hope you watch.

This couldn't be more perfect.
Around 325 CE (or AD, if you prefer) the Roman emperor Costantine I, known as the first ruler to ever use Christianity as a tool to rule over people (err…I mean, unite people), convened the First Council of Nicaea. He felt that the Torah (Hebrew word for Law) was outdated and too hard for people to follow conveniently.
So he got together a bunch of his friends (roughly 1800 bishops) to decide exactly what people should believe when it comes to things like Jesus' divinity, when Easter happened, and things like that. Up until that point, the stories of Jesus and the claims of his divinity were pretty scattered throughout Rome and were pretty inconsistent.
Biblical canon, that is which books were ok for people to read as far as Jesus was concerned, took centuries to establish because they had to go through the literally hundreds of books written after 35 CE (written in almost entirely in Greek, but this will become important later) and pick which ones they felt would be easy to follow and fit with their view of what Christianity should be like. They also had to decide which books of the Jewish faith (written in Aramaic and Hebrew) would be included in the Old Testament. This happened between the mid-1500s and the mid-1600s. Granted, people had been using various books throughout history, these people just decided which ones were official. (The book of Revelations, for example, wasn't accepted until the fifth century.)
Flash forward to 1869. A Hungarian doctor named Karoly Maria Benkert coined the phrase homosexual. Up until that point, there was no word for it. In Greek, it fell under aphrodisia, which means love, because to the Greeks, it was all the same.
Flash forward again! This time to 1946. The New Revised Standard version of the bible is first published and they throw the phrase "homosexual offenders" into 1 Corinthians chapter 6.
Now I'm not saying the bible condones homosexuality. In fact, the King James version of the same passage says the effeminate shall not be allowed into the kingdom of god, which I find humorous, but the fact that until the 1500s there was no official Christian bible and that in the last 100 years they added the word homosexual to the bible, really bothers me.
I have zero problem with faith. I have faith in a lot of things. I have a problem with people using a book written in the Bronze Age, and pieced together over 1600 years to try and tell me (400 years later) how to live my life, how to treat other people and why certain other people aren't entitled to the same rights that they expect to be given themselves.

Two Birchbox staffers are in Hong Kong this week to find the best new Asian brands. (Photo: National Geographic)
We pride ourselves on sourcing the coolest global beauty brands at Birchbox, even if it means we have to fly across the world to find them. Since many of the most groundbreaking beauty innovations come from Asia (hello, BB cream!), we're always on the lookout for cool brands from the Eastern hemisphere. Earlier this week, Leah and Miko, two lovely ladies from our Beauty Partnerships team, left for Hong Kong to attend the annual Cosmoprof trade show. This international convention (which also hosts events in Las Vegas and Bologna) features companies from the Asia Pacific region showcasing their latest wares to industry insiders.
Till Friday, Leah and Miko will be at Cosmoprof scoping out new brands to feature in future Birchboxes, and here are just a few that they're excited to see:
Image of J.Crew catalog from Fashionologie.
Yep, that's right, it's still summer. It's also time to start getting excited because August Birchboxes are shipping by by early next week. Here's what you should read while you're waiting for the mailman to deliver that little pink box.
P.S. Did you know that Birchbox is on Pinterest? We're still getting our feet wet but we'll be pinning up a storm now that we're there. Come hang out with us there too!

Hennessey has already created what was once the fastest Nissan GT-R in the world, but not everyone can handle 800 kicking horses in one sports car. So, for those with not enough gusto to handle the beast, but who are not satisfied with the tame 473 HP found in the standard GT-R , Hennessey has a package for you. It is called the GTR650, and the name pretty much says it all.
Thanks to a new stainless steel mid pipe exhaust, a new induction system, a modified boost controller, and new intercoolers, the 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivers an impressive 662 HP at 6,500 rpm and a peak torque of 638 lb-ft Torque at 4,100 rpm. Unfortunately, there was no mention as to how this boost affected the performance of the sports car, but we are going to state the obvious when we say it will probably be faster than the standard, but slower than the 800hp modded GT-R. Next to the engine upgrade,Hennessey is also offering a transmission clutch pack upgrade.
In order to handle this amount of power, the GTR650 package needed to include new, improved suspensions and new sport brakes. A few different carbon fiber aerodynamic components, a new set of wheels, and performance tires were also added to complete the look and feel of the Nissan GT-R.

Is Your Breastfed Newborn Getting Enough to Eat?
Should You Supplement Your Milk?
Many mothers are reluctant to stop breastfeeding altogether, so they supplement their infant's diet with formula. If you're considering this, speak with your child's pediatrician, keeping in mind that the ultimate decision is up to you and your partner. Spangler says to realize that the more you supplement the less breast milk your child will eat and the less milk you will produce over time.
If you do decide to supplement with formula, be secure in your decision—you are doing what is best for your entire family. "Nobody has the right to pressure you either way or to criticize you whatever your decision," says Dr. Leach.
Also, be aware that you can breastfeed and simultaneously supplement your feeding with formula. A lactation consultant can help you acquire a supplemental nursing system (a bottle or bag filled with formula and worn around the neck, clipped to your shirt, or worn under your clothing; thin tubes attached to the bottle or bag then extend and attach to both breasts). You can also purchase small syringe and attachment tube from your local hospital, lactation consultant, or pediatric office to tape to your breast, next to your nipple. As your child nurses normally, she then also takes in the supplementation in addition to your breast milk.
Starting Solids
While most experts agree that babies do not need sustenance other than breast milk or formula for the first four to six months of their lives, or until they have doubled their birth weight, this is not always the case and there are other considerations.
While you know that breast milk is the optimal food for your growing baby, if you discover your newborn is not getting enough milk, consider the tips mentioned here to help solve your dilemma. And don't be afraid to seek help and advice from a lactation consultant, your child's pediatrician, or even friends who are experienced at breastfeeding. They can help you work through any nursing issues and develop the confidence to know your baby is thriving from your milk.

New developments
The Department of Business Management strives to innovate and be at the forefront of research and development. We aim to improve and extend education and education techniques to the advantage of our students.
New programmes:
Since 2007 the Business Management department, in partnership with Syracuse University, each year conducts a short course in Entrepreneurship over the June/ July holiday. The unique EESA programme provides senior students at SU with the opportunity to receive practical entrepreneurship training over a period of 6 weeks whilst at the same time mentoring entrepreneurs in the community. More info at www.sun.ac.za/eesa
A new focal area has been launched in 2007 for the BComm (Management Sciences) programme, namely Financial Planning. This focal area is, amongst others, directed towards obtaining the internationally recognised CFP™ (Certified Financial Planner) postgraduate qualification. It further aims to prepare students for employment in the financial advice industry.
The undergraduate modules Financial Planning 214 and Financial Planning 378 are available for the following programmes: BComm, BComm (Management Sciences) and BComm (Economic Sciences) with effect from 2007 and 2008 respectively.
The postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning has been offered since 2005. This is a specialised diploma programme (NQF level 7) and is presented by academics and practitioners in die financial services industry. It runs over two years but can be completed within one year by selected students. Persons that complete this sought after qualification will be able to practice as financial advisers. A limited number of students can be accommodated per year. The programme is accredited by the Financial Planning Institute (FPI). The closing date for applications is 30 October.
The postgraduate Diploma in Marketing was launched at the beginning of 2006 to provide graduate students with no prior marketing training with the core knowledge and skills of marketing – from idea conceptualisation to the development and maintenance of marketing plans and programmes. The qualification is aimed at people entering the business or professional environment that are suitably qualified in a specific field of knowledge, but lack the marketing background. It provides the opportunity to students to ensure a competitive advantage and to broaden career prospects. Any Bachelors degree obtained in a field other than marketing. The duration of the programme is one year and requires participants to be full time students.

Acceptance as CFA Program Partner
by the CFA Institute
The Department of Business Management at Stellenbosch University is proud to announce that it has been accepted by the CFA Institute in the United States of America as a CFA Program Partner in education in the undergraduate programme in Investment Management offered by the Department. The Department benefits from being closely associated with an organisation that has established itself over a number of years as a global leader in the education and delivery of investment professionals through the establishment of the coveted internationally accredited Chartered Financial Analyst Programme©. This further affirms the Department's commitment to relevant education in the investment field. Other benefits include:
- The right to use a CFA Program Partner logo on its printed and electronic marketing literature
- Special recognition as a partner on the CFA Institute, in printed marketing, and at conferences
- Access, equivalent to that of a CFA candidate, to information on the nature of the CFA exams, including printed copies of some sample exams
- One annual complimentary set of curriculum or university-oriented textbooks based on the Candidate Body of Knowledge produced by CFA Institute
- Notices of educational opportunities for lifelong learning through CFA Institute conferences and publications
- A complimentary statistical service report, showing pass rates for those student-candidates who permit the partner to release their names, and those student-candidates' average scores, by section, on the exams
- Five student scholarships per calendar year to any partner that has no charterholder on staff
- A complimentary subscription to CFA Institute publications
The Department started seven years ago to educate students in the undergraduate programme in Investment Management towards the realisation of the learning outcomes of level I of the Chartered Financial Analyst Programme©. By doing this, the Department vastly improves the chances of candidates to pass the CFA level I examination. The Department also carries forward the same principle in the post graduate BCommHonours (Financial Analysis) Programme, further educating students towards the realisation of the level II and level III outcomes of the Chartered Financial Analyst Programme©.

If you are looking for a job, the Goodwill Job Connection Center may be able to help.
At 131 W. International Speedway Blvd., the center is part of Goodwill Industries of Central Florida and serves the needs of Volusia and Flagler counties.
Its main goal and purpose is to assist people in finding employment.
"We see between 50 to 100 people come through our doors on a daily basis looking for employment and we have services to help them do so," said Linda Miller, employment specialist.
The center's hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Goodwill provides numerous services, including: computer skills classes, computers for job search, resume writing help, job workshops, interview skills workshops, faxing, felony workshops, balancing finances and tax filing.
"We are very willing to assist people applying for jobs. Today, mostly everything is done electronically, so people need to be able to use e-mail and have resumes. We want to help employ the county," Ms. Miller said.
Goodwill also has partnered with its thrift stores, and others, to help provide services.
"Most people have a misconception of us just being a thrift store, but that isn't true. We do have thrift stores and many other thrift stores are now partnering to have Goodwill Job Center services in them. At the store at our office, if a client attends my job class, they get a $25 voucher to get an outfit for a job interview out of the store. If they get the job, they get another voucher to help with their employment," Ms. Miller said.
"All of our services are free and 90 cents on every dollar generated from our stores goes back into the programs that we provide," said Bonnie Trammell, site coordinator.
Last year alone, the local center served more than 24,000 people spanning over six surrounding counties and helped more than 4,500 find jobs.
"That number may have actually doubled this year. We stay busy, but we are available to help. We want everyone to know that we are available. We are available for clients and agencies," Ms. Trammell said.
With the state of today's economy, finding work is tough, but Goodwill officials say it's not impossible.
"There are jobs out there but you have to work fulltime at finding a job. You have to go above and beyond what you did five years ago. Your resume needs to be updated and it needs to be what employers are looking for. You must dress apart and be prepared," Ms. Trammell said.
The local Goodwill Center wants everyone, including job seekers and employers, to know that they are here to help.
"Not only are we here for our clients, but we want employers to come to the center because we want to partner with them. We can post their job listings and provide space for job fairs and office space for interviewing and taking applications. We can also provide quality experienced employees to fill their job needs," Ms. Miller said.

With the success of WoW, this expansion is a perfect test. This could be the new thing. Instead of making sequels, the game itself evolves. It would not surprise me that the expansion contains code that would make it easier for them to evolve the content.
Doesn't EQ1 have better numbers than EQ2? If that's true, Blizzard MUST know this. They're really good at learning from other companies successes and mistakes.
WoW just may continue to evolve.
And for those of you that speak the financial language: Activision-Blizzard will continue to beat the horse until it stops bleeding money.

NEW YORK – Gonzaga University's men's basketball team jumped two spots in both the USA Today and Associated Press Top 25 rankings this week.
The Bulldogs moved into 10th in the USA Today rankings and 11th in the AP poll Monday just hours prior to taking on the University of Dayton in the nightcap of the opening day of the EA Sports Maui Invitational. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. PST and can also be heard on the IMG Gonzaga Radio Network including flagship station 1510 KGA CBS Sports Radio in Spokane.
Gonzaga moved into the Top 10 in both polls in week five a year ago, dropped out in week six, returned in week nine and remained in the Top 10 the remainder of the season. The Bulldogs finished No. 1 in the final AP Top 25 and was top-ranked in the USA Today poll entering the NCAA Tournament before ending the season 12th in the final poll following the NCAA Tournament. AP does not do a final poll following the tourney.
A Top 20 showdown could take place Tuesday in the EA Sports Maui Invitational. Baylor University, ranked 18th in AP and 17th in the USA Today rankings, meets host Chaminade University Monday. Gonzaga and Baylor are in the same half of the bracket, meaning a win by both or a loss by both would pit them in a Tuesday game.

Title: Discovery of Cancer-specific Synthetic Lethal Pathways
Annual Direct Cost: $50,000
Project Period: 07/01/2012-06/30/2013
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Synthetic lethality concept is based on the identification of genetic and epigenetic alterations which individually can be tolerated by cells but lead to their death if present together. Since cancer cells frequently have mutations in critical cellular pathways, disruption of complementary pathways may be detrimental to malignant but not normal cells, thus making these pathways ideal therapeutic targets. This approach has been successfully used for identification of several pathways, with targeting PARP in BRCA1 and 2 mutant cells most extensively studied. However, extensive functional searches aimed to identify additional synthetically lethal combinations have so far had limited success. Recently we have made a serendipitous observation that in mouse primary cells simultaneous inactivation of the tumor suppressor genes p53 and Rb affects expression of much fewer clinically important human cancer genes, as compared to those altered by inactivation of p53 or Rb alone. Based on these observations we hypothesize that cancer-specific synthetic lethal pathways can be identified by a comparative oncogenomic approach based on meta-analysis of gene expression profiles obtained from primary mouse cells subjected to controlled genetic alterations. The following Specific Aims are proposed to test this hypothesis:
