Shire is paying Heptares up-front fees and potentially $190 million in milestones to exercise its option for an exclusive worldwide license to the latter's preclinical-stage adenosine A2A receptor antagonist candidate, which is in development for the potential treatment of CNS disorders.
Heptares is focused on the development of drugs targeting G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The firm is exploiting an integrated discovery platform that includes technologies for engineering stabilized GPCRs (known as StaRs®) in their native conformations, and the identification of new ligand-interaction sites and screening for drug candidates. In January the firm reported publication of research papers describing how its technologies were used to stabilize the A2A receptor, enabling the application of structure-based drug discovery techniques including its Biophysical Mapping™ technique, fragment screening, and x-ray crystallography to the receptor. The surface plasmon resonance-based BioPhysical Mapping technique allows for the 3-D determination of compound-binding to facilitate the design of drug candidates.
"We are impressed with the novelty and quality of the A2A antagonist leads generated by Heptares, resulting from what we believe to be the first time a structure-based drug discovery approach has been applied from the beginning to a GPCR drug target," comments Jeff Jonas, svp for R&D, specialty pharmaceuticals and regenerative medicine at Shire. "This agreement with Heptares is a reflection of our growth strategy of investing and focusing on highly targeted drug discovery platforms."

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

" The staff was nice and the rooms and the bathroom were clean. It will be nicer if the bed bunks had stairs or something to climb easily. Also it is not very comfortable having electric connections that far from the bed. It was one of the lowest prices in NY, although not very cheap, but its close to central park and not so far from the museums. But at night it doesn't look very safe around and there are no places to dinner or breakfast close by (besides 7-11 and dominos). "- Anonimowy

Me and matt just went to the new sushi place next to emack and bolios. It's better than sushi house even though they are up there with my favorites.
So Much Sushi
The other day I had a special lunch date with my favorite person!
Chris and I hit up Nikko Sushi Buffet on Central Avenue for some all you can eat sushi, a $10.99 lunch buffet.
Now, I used to be obsessed with sushi rolls in college, although I never tried the raw fish version until I met Chris (on our third date?) and I was a big fan of the sweet potato roll from The Sushi House on New Scotland Avenue. I have yet to find sushi just as amazing as it tasted back then.
But I hate cucumbers. I used to take the shreds out of my sushi roll to make it more bearable. But even the lingering flavor of that icky vegetable makes me want to gag. So the other day while having realized my fading love of sushi had to do with the loathing I had of the cucumber.
Anyway…back to the buffet.
I was really impressed with the selection of food at the buffet. Not only do they have a ton of different types of sushi rolls and sashimi, they have other dishes, too! At first I went for the sushi but couldn't finish the rolls because the cucumber seems to take over the flavor and ruined them for me. However, the sweet potato roll was good, but not as good as I can remember from the ones I used to have at the Sushi House.
I'm glad they had a wide array of things to choose from (I was a huge fan of the fried flounder, (YUM) as well as the the rice noodles. I was even adventurous and tried the octopus (nay–it was cold) and the barbecue calamari rings (okay–very meaty!)
I would have liked to have seen more tofu dishes, because if I were a 100% vegetarian there wouldn't have been much for me to eat! They had a piece of fried tofu on a sushi roll but only one left, and I failed to back up for more of that. I would have though if I remembered because it was good! The seafood pancake on top of the green beans had good flavor but tasted rather uncooked.
I also really liked the baked mussel, it had good flavor, and the steamed shrimp and veggies were good as well.
And then there was dessert (with calamari on the side).They even brought me over a small bowl of chocolate ice cream (unpictured).
It was a nice place, I would definitely hit this spot up for a cheap lunch again, when I'm in the mood for some sushi!
On an unrelated note, did anyone feel that earthquake this afternoon? I felt it while sitting at my office desk and had no idea what it was until people started mentioning earthquake. Craziness!!!
4 Comments on "So Much Sushi"
LOL! My plates look like that too at Asian buffets!
Jessica @ Healthy Obsessions recently posted..My top three beauty advice I ever received
Sake Cafe on New Scotland near the Sage campus is sooo good! For lunch they have a $10 special for any three rolls and a soup or salad. They always accomodate my friend who is allergic to avocado so maybe they'll try something new about your cucumber issue 🙂 oh! and they don't have their liquor license so you can bring your own!
There is a new all-you-can eat place in Latham called Sushi X and from what I've heard, it's awesome! I guess it's like a club on the inside and it's not a buffet, so everything is super fresh.
Maybe I'll see you out at either place!

how data is generated without user activity has never been quite clear to me. Let's say I'm running a lottery and people can check the winning ticket number online. This random number has to be automatically generated at a specific time and should be the same for every visitor. How is that done?
I figured I could use a PHP script which retrieves the previous number and check whether it is, say, over 7 days old. If it is, the script would then generate a new number and store it, so it will be retrieved when other users visit the page, in which case the number would simply be shown as it's not over 7 days old.
This method of doing things might cause trouble with multiple users both trying to access files at the same time or overwriting data which is simultaneously generated by/for another visitor. I think it would be better if the number could be generated and stored independently of user activity, so the PHP script's only task is to read it.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
P.S: I'm using simple webhosting and do not physically have access to the server, can't leave a .bat or .exe running I guess. Also, tags might be somewhat inaccurate as I don't know what I should be using to tackle this problem.

An Interview with Former CIA Analyst Ray McGovern
"Ray McGovern, a former CIA officer who gave the daily brief for President George H.W. Bush, is pretty well known in the intelligence community. He's become a Christian antiwar leftist who goes around bearing witness. Whatever his views, he's harmless."
—Sidney Blumenthal in an email to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, February 18, 2011
When Ray McGovern was a fresh-faced recruit to the CIA during the Kennedy administration, he was awestruck by the words from the Gospel of John engraved on the entrance of the original headquarters building: "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
Those words have stuck with him throughout his career—first during his twenty-seven years as a specialist in Soviet foreign policy at the CIA, and now as a critic of the CIA and U.S. foreign policy. McGovern says there was no damascene moment in his transition from being an analyst to being a dissident, and that he remains a true-believer in the original mission and political independence of the CIA. He argues that, beginning in the 1980s and culminating in the "intelligence fixing" that led up to the Second Gulf War, the analysis branch of the CIA, which was supposed to be an objective fact-finding department, gradually became subservient to the political goals of the executive branch.
McGovern's indignation at this development was on full display at a press conference in 2006 when he challenged Donald Rumsfeld to explain his September 2002 claim that there was "bulletproof" evidence of links between Al Qaeda and the government of President Saddam Hussein of Iraq. A four-minute exchange ensued, with Rumsfeld denying that he had lied. (You can find the exchange on YouTube.)
McGovern has met with both Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, and maintains an active schedule speaking and writing on U.S. foreign policy and intelligence. In March, I had a chance to speak with him about Syria and U.S. foreign policy at large.
Nicholas Haggerty: Why did it take five years to get to a ceasefire in Syria?
Ray McGovern: When the Arab Spring moved to Syria, initially it was a grassroots movement. There's no denying that Assad clamped down with great cruelty, and that served to inflame the situation. But it was not very long till the CIA was sent in there to find "moderate" rebels so that they could assist in causing Assad all manner of troubles and perhaps even bring him down. Why did we do that? What's in it for Washington? Assad was not a threat to us. He was cooperating with the United States in the War on Terror. He was helping to find terrorists and he was one of the people who took some of our detainees to be tortured and held in prisons while we figured out what to do with them.
One of the main factors is that Israel has inordinate influence on the policymakers at the State Department and in the White House. Syria has been on Israel's list of countries for regime change since 1996, when several U.S. neocons wrote a paper for Netanyahu just before he became Prime Minister the first time. The paper was "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm." The authors made it very clear that the objective would be to foment real problems in Iran, Syria, and Iraq—against all manner of countries in the Middle East that might support Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.Read more
Saudi Arabia: How Do We Know What We Know?
The upheaval and uproar over the Saudi behading of a Shiite cleric continues with Iran now claiming that the Saudis have bombed their embassy in Yemen (hard to believe, of course, that it could still be standing....).
The juxtaposition of two items I read this morning suggest how fraught and complicated matters can get and not just in the Middle East, but right here in DC.
First, this at LobLog: "Washington's Multi-Million-Dollar PR Machine." Eli Lake analyzes from Federal Records how much and to whom Saudi Arabia pays DC firms for pr help in a vareity of matters such as press releases and supplying Saudi officials for quotes and interviews.
Second, this at the New York Times: "Saudis Applaud a Toughter Line," a story by veteran reporter Robert Worth (though he may now be retired). The account reports that there is widespread applause in the Saudi population for the government's finally cracking down on terrorists and other troublemakers. There are quotes from twitter with names, from former dissidents, from newspaper columnists, etc. The account has no dateline suggesting that the story has been written right here in the U.S., perhaps even in DC! Worth has always seemed a good reporter, and perhaps he is just doing his job. I assume he speaks and reads Arabic, but you have to wonder how many of those well-paid PR firms are doing what they're paid to do...puff Saudi Arabia. In this case, it appears to show a rousing display of public opinion as if this were a democratic society.
Staff Picks: 'The Quiet American'
The continued relevance of Graham Greene's The Quiet American was made clear once more thanks to Seymour Hersh's latest article in the London Review of Books. Hersh cites a highly classified report prepared by the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Defense Intelligence Agency that undermines Barack Obama's repeated assertions that there are moderate forces capable of defeating Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. "The assessment," he writes, "was bleak: there was no viable 'moderate' opposition to Assad, and the U.S. was arming extremists."
A mythical "moderate" force is at the center of Greene's novel. France's intervention to maintain Vietnam within its sphere of influence after the Second World War is coming to an end, and a few vanguard Americans are actively supporting an apparently benevolent "third force" opposed to both French colonialism and communism. Thomas Fowler is a cynical British war correspondent who befriends one of these Americans, Alden Pyle, an idealist who is determined to do good "not to any individual person, but to a country, a continent, a world." Pyle is the perfect foil to the world-weary Fowler. When Fowler discovers the truth about Pyle and his much-hyped "third force," Fowler is forced to choose between remaining a jaded observer or participating in the conflict.
Within the geopolitical triangle, there is a love triangle involving Fowler, Pyle, and a local Vietnamese woman, Phuong. This adds an element of ambiguity to the characters and keeps the story from being a simple parable. But Greene does have a message: if you believe in the essential goodness of American intervention abroad, then it is easy, perhaps necessary, to think that there are significant local forces that will share American goals--never mind intelligence reports to the contrary. Greene responds to this imperial hubris in The Quiet American, and the epigraph indicates which side he is on: "This is the patent age of new inventions/For killing bodies, and for saving souls,/All propagated with the best intentions."
Palestinian-Israeli Violence
J.J. Goldberg follows Israeli politics closely. In his latest column at the Forward, he examines Prime Minister Netanyahu's claims about Hitler and Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem. Netanyahu, who has since revised his remarks, originally claimed that the grand mufti gave Hitler the idea for the Holocaust. As Goldberg points out, Netanyahu's revised explanation has not exactly clarified matters. Since "today's Palestinian leadership continues to revere Husseini and his legacy," the violence now spreading from Jerusalem is due to implacable Palestinian hatred of Israelies. IDF officers in charge of responding and controlling the violence have a different take.
Goldberg reports that "two active-duty IDF generals who are among the army's top experts on Palestinian affairs spoke out publicly to state that Palestinian violence is driven to a considerable degree by anger at Israeli actions. One of the two went a step further, warning that only a serious Israeli diplomatic re-engagement with the Palestinians will help to quell such violence over the long term." One general specifically cited attacks by settlers against Palestinians as part of the cycle of violence now roiling the country
Read Golberg's story in the Forward before commenting.
Meanwhile Back in the Middle East
President Obama seems a bit put out by the incursion of Russian military into Syria and by the judgement of President Vladmir Putin that the U.S.-led coalition has made a mess of things in Syria. Russia after some days of bombing has made its way from what have been called moderate Syrian rebels to the edges of ISILs occupied Syria. These reports and claims remain hazy at least in the public realm, but the Russians are certainly doing something. But what? We shall see.
Putin's motives are not exactly clear, but are they as mysterious or as destructive as Washington sees them? Are all the residual anti-Russian feeling stirred up reasonably enough over Ukraine blinding Obama, McCain, Clinton, etc. to a clear-eyed analysis of what could be done to end the carnage in Syria and Iraq, a feat that the current coalition has failed to achieve.
In the meantime, this piece by Stephen Lee Myer at the NYTimes offers a coherent account of Putin's views especially about state sovereignty as background to Russia's actions in Syria.
"...At the heart of the airstrikes is Mr. Putin's defense of the principle that the state is all powerful and should be defended against the hordes, especially those encouraged from abroad. It is a warning about Russia, as much as Syria.
"Nations shouldn't be forced to all conform to the same development model that somebody has declared the only appropriate one," he declared at the United Nations. The Soviet Union, he said, had once sought to export "social experiments, pushing for changes in other countries for ideological reasons, and this often led to tragic consequences and caused degradation instead of progress."
Pope Francis to UN: Respect the 'Right of the Environment'
In a sprawling forty-five-minute address to the United Nations this morning, Pope Francis again urged world leaders to take practical measures to protect the environment, avoid armed conflict, and protect the most vulnerable.
After "reaffirming the importance" of the UN in working to promote justice and human rights," the pope prodded the assembly to pay attention to the "victims of power badly exercised": the environment and the "ranks of the excluded." He warned against "false rights" presented by "the world"—and then he asserted a new one: "a true 'right of the environment' [derecho del ambiente, in the original Spanish] does exist," Francis said. That is a very big deal.
Before the publication of Laudato si', there had been some speculation about whether the encyclical would speak of the environment itself as having rights. After Francis told journalists that human beings had lorded their power over nature Robin Darling Young asked:
Was he really implying that created nature—the environment—has rights of its own? Such a view on the part of the pope would be a significant development in Catholic thinking about the inherent worth of creation apart from the humans who dominate it. We shall soon find out if he meant it.
It sounds like he did.Read more
Can Hope Combat Despair (and Denial) on Climate Change?
With this July officially the hottest month in recorded history, and 2015 likely to top 2014 as the hottest year; with wildfires consuming swaths of rainforest in the Pacific Northwest; with heat-trapping carbon dioxide having risen from pre-industrial-era levels of 280 parts per million to above 400 ppm this year (where they're likely to stay absent significant action to reduce emissions), it's hard not to be pessimistic about the state of the earth's climate, if not legitimately depressed. Climate researchers themselves increasingly show signs of what psychologists have labeled "pre-traumatic stress"—the anger, panic, and "obsessive-intrusive" thoughts that come with the daily work of charting what looks like an increasingly bleak future. Relentless attack on the part of climate-change deniers is said to play a contributing role.
"Certainly the possibility of extremely bad effects should weigh heavily on our minds," David Cloutier wrote on this blog in May. "But the contemplation of such effects can even have paradoxical effects, leading us to despair, especially when we recognize that any individual changes we make may be lost in humanity's massive collective activity." The giving up of hope, however, is exactly what we need to guard against when it comes to climate change. To that end it's been interesting to see how two of the most typically gloomy writers on the topic have recently been finding silver threads in the gathering clouds.
For instance, Elizabeth Kolbert's recent profile of Christina Figueres, who heads the U.N.'s Secretariat of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, bears the hopeful tagline, "The Woman Who Could Stop Climate Change." Figueres is characterized as such for her near certainty that something positive will emerge from the upcoming annual Conference of the Parties on climate change, to be held in Paris. Figueres, Kolbert writes, is aware of the danger of high expectations but "is doing her best to raise them further, on the theory that the best way to make something happen is to convince people that it is going to happen. 'I have not met a single human being who's motivated by bad news," she told me. "Not a single human being.'" That she can maintain this attitude—not only while working within the bureaucracy of the U.N. but also while being charged with persuading 195 countries to scale back their use of fossil fuels—is something she attributes to being the daughter of the man who led the Costa Rican revolution of 1948. "I'm very comfortable with the word 'revolution,'" she tells Kolbert. "In my experience, revolutions have been very positive."
Bill McKibben, meanwhile, earlier this summer hailed Pope Francis's Laudato si', not least for the fact that "simply by writing it, the pope—the single most prominent person on the planet, and of all celebrities and leaders the most skilled at using gesture to communicate—has managed to get across the crucial point" that climate change is the most pressing issue of the day.Read more
Think again
U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East presents one of the most complex and convoluted set of issues the country faces. Yet very little changes in how we (or our leaders) think about it. Paul Pillar -- retired CIA officer, visiting scholar at Georgetown and Brookings (also served in Vietnam) -- writes regularly and intelligently about U.S. policy.
In a current essay, he asks what prevents us from conducting a "zero-based" review of MIddle East policy. His premise is that "historical baggage" weighs down politicians and policy makers who resist looking again at why we are doing what we are doing.
MIddle East policy began with FDR's visit to Saudi King Abdul Aziz ibn Saud; in effect, stepping in for the British in the Middle East. "The oil bargain" they struck needs rethinking. Seventy years later, Pillar observes: "In any other historical context it would be bizarre for the United States to treat as a coddled ally a state that not only is a family-ruled authoritarian enterprise with zero freedom of religion and based on an intolerant ideology that is a basis for violent jihadi extremism but also more recently has been a destabilizing factor as the family pursues its own vendettas and narrow interests in other Middle Eastern states."
Other baggage includes the Iranian hostage crisis, 9/11, the Iraq War (the last one!), and our relationship with Israel. On the latter: "The evolution [of the U.S.-Israeli relation]...has been one from a plucky little Jewish state, created in the shadow of the Holocaust and besieged by neighbors, to the militarily dominant power of the Middle East, which repeatedly throws its weight around with disregard for the sovereignty and security of others. It is a state that has moved ever farther from any commonality with laudable American values...."
Pillar recognizes, certainly in the case of Saudi Arabia and Israel, how hard it would be to rethink our policies. In enumerating the barriers to shifting historical baggage, he points to democracy itself. "With limits to policy being set by deeply entrenched popular attitudes and beliefs that democratically elected politicians continually recite, the history that gave rise to those attitudes and beliefs is a heavy restraint on any leader who might see the wisdom of following a different path."
Illusions Here and Abroad
Earlier this month, I happened to turn on the PBS NewsHour and caught a roundtable discussion on President Obama's decision to send another 450 military "advisers" to help train the Iraqi army in its fitful fight against ISIS. One of the panelists was Commonweal contributor Andrew Bacevich, author of The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism, among other books. Also on the panel were Ret. General Anthony Zinni, former commander of U.S. Central Command, Michele Flournoy, former undersecretary of policy at the Department of Defense, and Leon Panetta, former secretary of defense. Zinni, Flournoy, and Panetta were all supportive of sending more advisers and even expanding the scope of the rules of engagement. Not surprisingly, Bacevich was skeptical. As he saw it, whatever skills the U.S. military might instill in Iraqi forces, they will not "be able to transfer the will to fight, which would seem to be the fundamental problem."
Panetta was hawkish and optimistic about an expanded U.S. military mission. He seemed to think that the Shiite-led government in Baghdad could be pressured into arming its Sunni and Kurdish partners in the north. "We've got to push the Iraqis," he said. No one asked why we would have more leverage with the Shiites now than we did when we had a hundred thousand troops in Iraq. Panetta insisted that ISIS posed a grave threat not just to U.S. interests abroad, but to our domestic security. Bacevich responded that Panetta was "vastly exaggerating" any threat ISIS might pose to the United States. Given the disasters of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, we "ought to be a little bit humble" about thinking that U.S. military can fix problems in that part of the world. Bacevich observed that we had in fact created many of those problems by invading Iraq in 2003. "The evidence is quite clear," he said. "U.S. military intervention in this region creates greater instability, not stability."
Isn't that a simple statement of fact? Evidently not to Panetta. He reads recent history quite differently. "The fact is, we're good at counterterrorism," he said. "The reality is that we know how to do this without deploying the 101st Airborne or a large number of brigades."
I confess to being nonplussed by that statement. Does Panetta honestly think Iraq and Afghanistan have been rousing counterterrorism success stories? I suppose that might be true if the goal was to occupy both countries indefinitely. But there are limits to American dominance, and limits to what we should ask of our men and women in the armed forces.
To his credit, Bacevich was having none of what Panetta was selling. "With all due respect," he answered the former secretary of defense, "we don't know how to do this."Read more
New issue is live
We've just posted our June 1 issue to the website. Among the highlights:
Amanda Erickson describes the struggle of a Catholic parish community in Freddie Gray's Baltimore neighborhood to respond adequately, in the wake of the riots, to the root causes of hopelessness there:
The life expectancy of those born in Sandtown-Winchester is thirteen years shorter than the national average. Those are problems that can't be fixed by one man, or in one morning. So instead, Rev. Bomberger grabbed a broom and headed across the street.
Andrew Bacevich reviews Andrew Cockburn's "imperfect but exceedingly useful book," Kill Chain: The Rise of the High-Tech Assassins, about the motives behind and justifications for targeted assassinations and drone warfare—now common practices in U.S. foreign policy.
Cockburn quotes one U.S. Air Force general bragging, "We can now hit any target anywhere in the world, any time, any weather, day or night." Yet why bother with bombing bridges, power plants, or communications facilities, when taking out Mr. Big himself provides the definitive shortcut to victory? Here was the ultimate critical node: Decapitate the regime. As an approach to waging war, what could be more humane, not to mention efficient?
Plus: New poetry from Marie Ponsot, Celia Wren explains why the once-promising plotlines of Mad Men hit a dead end, Paul Johnston reviews the latest from Reading Lolita in Tehran author Azar Nafisi, Molly Farneth reviews the latest, uncomprehensive but newly non-Eurocentric Norton Anthology of World Religions, and Charles Morris reveals the dirty little secret of major-league banking bankers don't want to believe.
See the full table of contents here.
New issue, new stories
On the website now, our May 15 issue. Here are some of the highlights:
Jo McGowan examines the effects violence against children has on society at large—effects so drastic it is being treated as an "any other epidemic," "says forensic psychologist Karen McCluckey:
Isolate the contagion. Prevent transmission. Treat outbreaks instantly and aggressively.
Jerry Ryan reflects on his struggle to discover "what the person of Jesus means" to him, spiritually and theologically:
Classical theology has the angels deciding their destiny in a single, unalterable choice. I sometimes dream of being able to imitate such an act, one that would free me from all my ambiguities and contradictions, my half-hearted aspirations and ineffectual resolutions. This is not the way things work, however...
Read all of "Knowing Jesus" here.
Eve Tushnet reviews an exhibit produced by over 40 artists at the National Museum of African Art that recreates Dante's Divine Comedy on three floors:
I'm sitting in hell with a couple of little boys, who are trying to prove they're not scared. We're watching a cloth-wrapped figure prostrate itself and bang its fists against the floor, as sobs and wordless singing give way to a howled "I, I, I surrender!"
Read about the beautiful, horrific, beatific and redemptive show here.
Also in the May 15 issue: James Sheehan on how Greece and Ukraine are "testing Europe"; reviews of books about abortion, the short history of the black vote, a young Lawrence of Arabia, and secular humanism—plus poetry from Michael Cadnum, Thomas Lynch, and Peter Cooley; and Elizabeth Kirkland Cahill reflects on bodily decrepitude and wisdom.
Also featured on the site now, the latest from E.J. Dionne Jr., who writes about a senator's sensible stance on faith and secularism. Read the whole thing here.
He is running for office--in Israel
PM Netanyahu has delivered his speech to the Joint Session of Congress at the invitation of Speaker Boehner. Netanyahu's grand entrance to the floor of the house a la the President's for the SOU should not confuse us. Netanyahu wants to remain Prime Minister of Israel, but if he can manage U.S. foreign policy, he would consider that a plus.
Here is his address to the Congress, via CSPAN (at about 15 minutes).
Commentary: William Galston at Brookings on recent polling. Robert Hunter at Lobelog on outcomes of successful negotiations. Bernard Avishai at the New Yorker on what Netanyahu really wants--war. George Friedman at Stratfo on the U.S. dilemma in shaping a ME balance of power with or without Israel (HT: Jim Pauwels). Here's a British take on the speech. Reporters from the Guardian have annotated the speech. And here's Jon Stewart!! (R-rated metaphors!)Read more
Immutability UPDATES
There has been a lot of fiery rhetoic about Netanyahu's acceptance of an invitation to speak to the U.S. Congress without consultating the White House and Dept. of State. There have been hard questions: Is this the end of the special relationship? How will the U.S. vote the next time an Israeli-related resolution comes before the Security Council? Will U.S. subventions to Israel be cut back? Will the U.S. become even-handed in efforts to bring the Israelis and Palestinians to an agreement? Has the Republican Party become Israel's new best friend? What price will Israel pay if the Prime Minister undermines U.S. efforts to come to an agreement with Iran?
We can't actually know the answers to those questions right now. A lot of everybodies will show up for his speech on March 3, including many Democrats. Netanyahu will get a lot of face time on the news. His speech could derail the Iran nuclear talks now culminating in Geneva.
Would we be wrong in suspecting that whatever Netanyahu says and whatever happens in Geneva, business will continue as usual?
Susan Rice, head of the National Security Council, called Netanyahu's decision "destructive" of the U.S. Israeli relationship. But then, she went on to say to Charlie Rose, "The point is, we want the relationship between the United States and Israel to be unquestionably strong, immutable, regardless of political seasons in either country, regardless of which party may be in charge in either country. We've worked very hard to have that," she said, "and we will work very hard to maintain that."
UPDATE: Story in (2/26) NYTimes. UPDATE 2: David Brook's column (2/27) provides a mild preview of what Netanyahu is likely to declaim next week. "Converting the Ayatollahs" is an unfortunate headline on the column. A round-up of Israeli objections to Netanyahu's speech (including objections from AIPAC). UPDATE 3: Paul Pillar offers an analysis of Netanyahu's purposes in derailing negotiations with Iran--and it isn't bombs. Even Jeffrey Goldberg!
Salaita says he isn't going away; U of I apparently offers a financial settlement
Nathan Guttman at the Jewish Daily Forward has a round-up of the Salaita case at the University of Illinois. dotCommonweal has had a discussion about the free speech aspect; Guttman gives a run down of the ups and downs with the conclusion that Salaita says he will take his case to court if his job offer is not honored. Apparently he is turning down a university offer for a financial settlement, paying him to go away, it appears.
Two of Guttman's key points: "It is a university's nightmare scenario, involving almost every possible mess an academic institution could encounter: choosing between free speech and the need to maintain civil discourse; balancing academic faculty hiring prerogatives with donor pressure; defining the role of social media in academic settings; distinguishing between what's personal and what's fair game for professional review and treading the fine line of tenure and the protection it provides.
"For Jewish students seeking to defend Israel and other pro-Israel activists, the Salaita debate also means finding the right balance between fighting anti-Israel sentiments on campus and framing the case as one that affects all students, not just supporters of the Jewish state."
David Frum's "skepticism" and the Israel-Palestine conflict
There's no foreign-policy issue I've found as frustrating and hard to get a grasp on as the Israel-Palestine conflict. When a conflict flares up, especially one with longstanding roots, the natural thing for someone like me to do is try to get up to speed on the basics: What did I miss while I was growing up (or not yet born) that will help me understand what's going on now? But when it comes to Israeli politics, that neutral accounting of facts has always been nearly impossible to find. Try to find someone who can explain what's going on over there, and they skip directly to an impassioned rebuttal of the other side's views. Everyone wants to tell you why the other side is wrong and their own side is misrepresented. Everyone wants to tell you how it's all about bias. It's the one issue that, to judge from the public discussion, seems to be ideology all the way down.
That's finally changing for me; with this latest flare-up I finally feel like I can get a handle on what's happening and why. I'm skeptical of "how social media changes everything" arguments, but in this case I do think there's a lot to be said for the power of Twitter in helping me find arguments and reporting and images I wouldn't have seen otherwise -- a lot of it coming from journalists in my age cohort who, I assume, are also fed up with the "pro-and-anti-Israel" posturing that has dominated any discussion of Israel and its actions (and U.S. involvement in same) throughout our lifetime. They want to move beyond the calcified positions and tired slogans and try to see what's really happening now, because that might lead to a way out instead of just more retrenchment and identity politics. (Read Paul Waldman's excellent post at the American Prospect on that.) I finally feel like I can follow the events as they unfold without having to choose a side first.
Which is why I've been so fascinated by what's been happening with David Frum, now a Senior Editor at the Atlantic, regarded by many as an independent thinker because, after serving as a speech writer for George W. Bush, he distanced himself from and became highly critical of the radical elements in the Obama-era GOP. Frum is smart and sharp and right about a lot of things, but also smug, and surprisingly sloppy in his thinking when it suits his ideology. (Just because he's not totally partisan doesn't mean he's not ideological.) And when the subject is Israel, he puts his critical-thinking skills on a shelf and goes all in on the propaganda. He has become a vivid illustration of the poisonous conversation around Israeli politics, and the way it reduces otherwise responsible thinkers to frothing idealogues eager to jump to the worst conclusions about anyone who they think might see things differently than they do.Read more
UPDATE: Andrew Bacevich on Bill Moyers
Update: You can now watch Andrew Bacevich on Moyers & Company below.
Two weeks ago, Andrew Bacevich's essay "The Duplicity of the Ideologues" appeared on our site. Beginning Friday online, and on PBS through the weekend, Bacevich will be featured on Moyers & Company, where he'll be discussing the situation in Iraq and issues of U.S. foreign policy he raised in his Commonweal piece. You can check your local listings here; in the meantime, see the preview of Bacevich's appearance below. (And see "The Duplicity of the Ideologues" here; it's even more worth [re]reading in light of events since it first appeared.)
Cheney's chutzpah and the public debate over Iraq
Do read the new column from E. J. Dionne about "Dick Cheney's Chutzpah," because it's as angry as even-tempered E. J. ever gets. And with good reason. In a field crowded with shameless hawks, cheering for more military action in Iraq while ignoring the consequences of their past enthusiasm for war, Dick Cheney stands out as perhaps the most shameless of all. He and his daughter Liz wrote an op-ed for yesterday's Wall Street Journal, published with a subheadline that left even the most cynical liberals sputtering:
(To be fair, it does say "rarely," which you might read as a concession that it has happened before.)
Is Dick Cheney in any position to be lecturing Barack Obama about fecklesness in foreign policy? Of course not. But his motives for doing so are clear enough. He, like many of the other neocons and Bush-era hawks now pointing fingers at Obama, has a reputation to think about, and a deep investment in shifting the blame for the mess in Iraq onto someone else's shoulders. Embracing a revisionist history of Bush-era foreign policy could have dreadful consequences for most Americans, and especially for the men and women in the military -- not to mention for the people of Iraq and neighboring countries. But it can only be good for Dick Cheney. Here's Dionne on how they'd like the debate to be rigged:
Thanks to the Cheney op-ed, we can see how Obama's hawkish critics are out to create a double standard. Whenever they are called out for how mistaken they were about Iraq in the first place, they piously lecture against "relitigating the past" and say we must instead look forward. At the same time, many of them feel perfectly free to trash the president in extreme and even vile terms.
A lot of liberals and media types have spoken up in exasperation after watching unreformed and unreflective hawks like John McCain, Bill Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, and so on appear on the Sunday-morning shows and on op-ed pages as if they were still respected authorities, with no hard questions about the disastrously wrong predictions they made so confidently before the (last) invasion of Iraq. James Fallows says: "we are talking about people in public life—writers, politicians, academics—who got the biggest strategic call in many decades completely wrong.... we now live with (and many, many people have died because of) the consequences of their gross misjudgments a dozen years ago. In the circumstances, they might have the decency to shut the hell up on this particular topic for a while." (He links to a lot of other people making similar arguments, including our own Andrew Bacevich -- and, yes, go read that now if you haven't already.)Read more
The Spirit on the Ground: Pope Francis' Mass in Amman
Queen Alia Street, a main thoroughfare in Amman, was packed with traffic on May 24th, the day of the Pope's visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Vertical posters depicting important places in Jordan, like the site of Jesus' baptism or the massive, blue King Abdullah I mosque, read "Joy and Hope" in Arabic and English. The flags of Jordan and the Vatican lined the overpasses and the walls of the Amman International Stadium where the Pope would say Mass later in the afternoon.
These decorations appeared just days before the Pope's visit, but signs of his impending arrival were visible throughout Amman for the preceding weeks: curbs received a fresh coat of yellow and black paint, and images of Jordan's King Abdullah and Pope Francis shaking hands were posted throughout the city. Jordanians, both Christian and Muslim, were excited not only to receive Francis—the fourth pope to visit them in fifty years—but also to use the opportunity to showcase their country's long history of Muslim-Christian coexistence.
Along with 30,000 other Jordanians—mostly Christians but some Muslims—I attended the Mass over which Francis presided. Because I taught religious education classes for our English-language parish in Amman, I was able to sit on the grassy, ground level of the stadium with the families of the First Communicants, who would be receiving their First Eucharist at the Mass. I had a clear view of the altar and its big, yellow tent, and was able to walk around the field easily, greeting friends and fellow parishioners in the four hours before the liturgy.
As we waited in the hot sun for the Pope to arrive, Fr. Bashir Badr, a friend and Roman Catholic priest, served as an emcee, leading the congregation in chanting and singing. We yelled, "Long live the king!" and "Viva il papa!", sang along to well-known Arabic liturgical hymns, and learned the words to songs written especially for the visit of the Pope. Children let balloons fly into the sky, including two large balloon rosaries, one blue, one pink.
When the Pope arrived, we all ran to the edge of the track that encircled the field.Read more
"Lights and shadows" as Israel prepares for the Pope
Almost fifty years ago, the conciliar document Nostra aetate removed a cancer from the heart of Christianity. Its central section, on Jews and Judaism, overturned centuries of faulty interpretation regarding the main "teaching of contempt" for Jews that was part of Christian culture, doctrine, and liturgy.
Surgery is one thing; rehabilitation another. The first is relatively quick and anesthetized; what follows is more challenging, sometimes painful, and often a test of perseverance and endurance.
So as the Pope prepares for the Holy Land, how healthy is the Jewish-Christian relationship? And how is Israel preparing for the Pope?Read more
Even the NYTimes Objects
Maybe this is too parochial, but... even the NYTimes thinks the Sheldon Adelson Republican primary is a shocking travesty...though their news columns didn't seem to pay much attention.
Here, from the Editorial Page Editor's Blog (who knew?) is David Firestone's comment under the headline: "The Line to Kiss Sheldon Adelson's Boots." Well you know what they mean but it's not fit to print.
"It's hard to imagine a political spectacle more loathsome than the parade of Republican presidential candidates who spent the last few days bowing and scraping before the mighty bank account of the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. One by one, they stood at a microphone in Mr. Adelson's Venetian hotel in Las Vegas and spoke to the Republican Jewish Coalition (also a wholly owned subsidiary of Mr. Adelson), hoping to sound sufficiently pro-Israel and pro-interventionist and philo-Semitic to win a portion of Mr. Adelson's billions for their campaigns." And it gets better: NYTimes

Coco Reef is located 30 minutes from Hamilton international airport on South Shore, on the island's prettiest stretch of beach featuring Bermuda's famous pink sand. With a casual but elegant ambience, it has 64 rooms which all have ocean views and are all furnished in a colonial style with pastel florals.
Modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, coffee machine and cable television are also included.
The crunch of the gravelled path leading up to the Bath Priory Hotel made me feel I'd jumped off the pages of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey.
Set in a tranquil area of western Bath the late Georgian stone mansion sits in three acres of garden, with sweeping lawns, cedar trees, and its very own vegetable patch.

Some visitors to Windsor get to stay in the castle. The Queen obviously. Various crown heads of Europe. The odd president and prime minister. But you and me?
Croatia's stellar Dalmatian coast has long been seen as an alternative contender to Italy's Amalfi, and as my taxi makes a tight cliff top hairpin turn on to an even tighter road clearly never intended for motor car use, the difference is obvious.
No traffic. Just peace, solitude, bird song and the timeless backdrop of old town Dubrovnik lying far below, just across the bay.
The car was taken off my hands by Alastair the doorman, the door was opened with a theatrical flourish by the concierge, and my bag was liberated almost immediately by yet another attendant. By the time I got to the small but bright reception area, I was smiling.
It may only be 108 years old, but the Hotel de la Cite is the last and most decorative piece in the 1,200-year-old jigsaw puzzle which makes Carcassonne such a fascinating place to visit.
It was at the beginning of the 9th century that this ancient citadel got its name when it survived a siege by Charlemagne with the help of its moat, drawbridge and thick Roman walls.
One irritation of a hotel stay is having to crawl out of bed to turn off the master switch by the door then stumble back in darkness - a hazard of increasingly sophisticated but unfathomable lighting systems.

In a shift from comedy to drama, Adam McKay will write and direct an adaptation of Michael Lewis' financial crisis best-seller "The Big Short: The Doomsday Machine."
Paramount Pictures announced Monday it will produce "The Big Short" along with Plan B, Brad Pitt's production company.
McKay, 45, is best known for directing comedies, including the two "Anchorman" films, "Talladega Nights" and "Step Brothers." He regularly collaborates with Will Ferrell, who has starred in all of his films, including the white-collar crime comedy "The Other Guys."
But "The Big Short" will mark a pivot for the former "Saturday Night Live" head writer. In a statement, McKay said he and Plan B connected over the "breathless quality" of Lewis' 2010 book about the housing market bubble.
Plan B also produced Lewis' baseball tale, "Moneyball."

I've been developing in PHP for a while now but only recently made the switch over to an OOP approach.
One question that keeps cropping up for me is 'how far' to go with the OOP stuff, specifically in terms of execution speed and memory resources etc.
For example, let's say I have 2 objects, User and Listing
Listings are always linked to a individual user. UserId is a property of Listing so I know which user it relates to. Once in a while, within a Listing method I need to access a single property of the related User.
As far as I can see (please advise if not) I have 3 options for how to accomplish this.
Create a new user object and access the relevent propery via $user -> theProperty
Make the required property a local property of Listing and populate this when Listing is initialised (e.g. via a sql join)
Query the database directly to retrieve the property of User required via the user ID
It seems to me that options 1 & 2 obide by OOP rules more stringently, but have performance hits due to initialising a whole object simply to retrieve 1 property. Option 3 would be the least memory intensive but sidesteps OOP altogether.
In addition, in terms of populating objects at creation, most of my objects get most of their properties populated via one 'fill' method shortly after being initialised (hence requiring only 1 DB query). Would this generally be considered best practise, or would it be more advisable to use individual methods to get these properties, populating as and when they are needed?
I realise there may not be "correct" answers to this, but could anyone give an advice on best ways to approach this situation?
Many thanks Nick

VILLANOVA WENT to Marquette on Saturday and it was like the Creighton game never happened. The Wildcats played like they had been playing all season, led the entire game, got tied in the final 5 seconds of regulation, were denied a game-winning layup at the buzzer on a badly missed call and then won the game all over again in overtime.
Villanova won, 94-85, but that was just part of the story. Three 'Nova players - James Bell (career-best 30), Darrun Hilliard (20) and Ryan Arcidiacono (20) - combined for 70 points, but that wasn't it either.
"Ryan Arch," the sophomore point guard from Neshaminy High, was absolutely brilliant. He controlled the entire second half and overtime with one smart play after another (if we ignore when he lost his balance and fouled three-point shooting Todd Mayo to set up the tying free throws near the end of regulation). Arcidiacono had those 20 points, 11 assists and 0 turnovers, the first game this season where anybody in the country had at least 20 points, 10 assists and 0 turns.

Active Commuter Rail Agency Service Contracts
GAO-06-820R: Published: Jul 10, 2006. Publicly Released: Aug 9, 2006.

- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Commuter rail is an important part of the transportation system in many cities and regions in our country, providing more than 420 million passenger trips in 2005. Although several of the largest commuter rail agencies hire their own employees, many agencies contract with other companies, including Amtrak, freight railroads, and private rail operators, to provide services that are critical to running the agencies' trains. These contracted services include providing crews to operate trains (train operations); maintenance of equipment (MOE), including maintenance of train cars and locomotives; dispatching train traffic; and maintenance of way (MOW), which involves maintaining the track, signals, and other track infrastructure. Commuter rail agencies can obtain these services by opening contracts to competition or through noncompetitive negotiations with a service provider. Congress asked us to provide information on the service arrangements between commuter rail agencies and other companies. Accordingly, we addressed the following questions: (1) How many currently active commuter rail service contracts were obtained through competitive and noncompetitive processes? (2) What differences, if any, are there between competitively and noncompetitively negotiated contracts?
Fifteen of the 28 active commuter rail service contracts were obtained through competitive processes. As of July 1, 2006, Herzog, a private rail operator headquartered in Missouri, held 7 of the competitively procured contracts. Amtrak held 2 of the competitively procured contracts--including a turnkey service for Caltrain, a commuter rail service linking San Francisco and San Jose, under which Amtrak provides services critical to running Caltrain's commuter service, as well as operations at several of Caltrain's passenger stations. The remaining 6 contracts were spread among six other private transportation companies. The other 13 contracts were negotiated noncompetitively. Amtrak held 5 of these 13 contracts, and three freight railroads--Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), CSX, and Union Pacific--held 6. The remaining 2 noncompetitive contracts were negotiated between commuter rail agencies that share continuous rights-of-way. According to our analysis, the most notable difference between contracts that were competitively and noncompetitively negotiated was whether the service provider owned the infrastructure that the commuter rail agency was using. Specifically, for all 15 contracts that were negotiated competitively, the service provider did not own the infrastructure used by the commuter rail agency. Rather, in most cases the commuter rail agency or its sister transit agency owned the majority of the infrastructure. In contrast, for 10 of the 13 contracts that were negotiated noncompetitively, the service provider owned the infrastructure used by the commuter rail agency. In two other cases, the service provider was the former owner of the rights-of-way, and the service agreement was established concurrently with the sale of the track. Thus, the service provider currently or previously owned the infrastructure used by the commuter rail agencies for 12 of the 13 noncompetitively negotiated contracts. Another difference between the competitively and noncompetitively negotiated contracts was the types of services included in the contract. Although competitive and noncompetitive contracts were almost equally likely to cover train operations, maintenance of equipment, and maintenance of way, the noncompetitive contracts were much more likely to include dispatching--an important infrastructure-related service that allows the provider to control train traffic on the rights-of-way.

I-Team: Feds, Nagin attorney seek trial delay

avigayil: Republicans, go watch the entire exchange with katy tur. she asked trump point blank and in a shocked way if it gives him pause to ask the russians to either engage in espionage OR to interfere with our elections by releasing documents they may already have. she was shocked when he said it and if you watch the exchange you'd see. there is no way to argue he was joking. if he were joking and she asked him that follow up, that shocked, any sane and normal person would see that and say he was joking. Trump didnt. he knew what he was saying. this wasn't 1 comment taken out of context. she asked him in a shocked jaw dropped way if it gave him pause. HE SAID IT DIDN'T GIVE HIM PAUSE and then kept going and digging in deeper. look, I know you hate hillary. but your hatred for hillary is blinding you completely. you can still hate her and admit how wrong and terrible trump is. if any democrat or Republican in history would ever even joke about that WITHOUT CONFIRMING RIGHT THEN AND THERE IT WAS A JOKE you'd be appalled. he even doubled down a minute after on Twitter before tweeting again his back pedal. I'm a retired military officer, 29 years of service including multiple combat tours. im a graduate of the army war college. I've led men into battle, I've ordered men to advance in areas where I knew I'd lose some. I wrote letters home to mothers and fathers, husbands and even children. this was the most appalling thing I have ever heard from a possible commander in chief. I may be retired but I've gotten numerous calls since yesterday from friends who are still active. other officers, including 2 of my son's who are both a lieutenant and a captain as well. I've heard from around 11 friends still serving and moving higher up in rank. every single one of them has told me flat out if this man is elected they are resigning their commission the next day. this has nothing to do with hillary. I'm not advocating for her, not supporting or defending her or her candidacy. I've got more experience with handling classified material than many of you will ever learn in 5 lifetimes. we as a country have hacked and continue to hack other countries as well. but one thing we would never do is release some of it to influence the outcome of an election in that country. we gather the Intel for knowledge. no president should ever invite a foreign nation to release documents they hacked from us, whether private citizens or government officials in order to win an election. Trump knew what he was saying, he was given multiple chances to explain it was joke at the time. and btw, no candidate or president would even joke about that TO THE PRESS AT A TELEVISED PRESS CONFERENCE!!! this has gone way too far. so horrible.

Working in Americaby Catherine Reef
Pub. Date: 09/28/2000
Publisher: Facts on File, Incorporated
When the first colonists arrived in what would become the United States, they confronted the reality that in order to survive, they would have to tame the land and make it work for them. In addition to these early settlers were those brought to North America against their will-enslaved Africans who were forced to toil in intolerable conditions. From these beginnings developed the fabled Puritan work ethic that has become the standard for Americans in the workplace-a standard that has both proponents and opponents. The agrarian economy of the early United States was eventually transformed by the Industrial Revolution. Amid the new reality of mass-production, workers organized-demanding better wages, safer working environments, and an end to child labor. The unique challenges that African-American and female employees faced spawned separate movements that are still relevant in a less-than-equal workplace. The future direction of working in America is complicated, as technological innovation and globalization drastically transform both working conditions and the composition of the American workforce.
Each chapter in Working in America, a volume in Facts On File's new American Experience series, begins with an essay that chronicles the experience of workers in the United States. A chronology of events follows this essay. Each chapter closes with a section of excerpts-from such sources as speeches, journals, correspondence, and book passages. Included in this book are the words of Thomas Jefferson, Malcolm X, Samuel Gompers, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Jesse Jackson, Cesar Chavez, Jane Addams, and countless others. An appendix of documents includes such primary source materials as theLand Ordinance of 1785, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Also included are capsule biographies of 141 key figures, maps, graphs and tables, a glossary, notes, a bibliography, and an index. More than 100 black-and-white images illustrate the story of the workers whose contributions have helped shape the United States.

There is some pay to win but its not the worst. There is a huge amount of cosmetic items to buy to make your character look all sorts of crazy ways and there are tons of fighting style scrolls you can use that alter your combos and throws leading to more variety then you should ever expect to see in a f2p game from asia.
Anyone who is a primary pc gamer who likes the concept of fighting games (Street Fighter, Tekken et all) should consider playing this. Anyone who loved Power Stone should definitely play this.
great buy. if only other games did this...
thanks ogp, thanks amazon.
Thanks again
