Ermotti: UBS Operating in a `Challenging' Environment
05:39 - UBS Group AG said profit slipped 14 percent in the second quarter as both wealth management and investment banking generated less revenue during a rocky period for markets. Net income fell to 1.03 billion Swiss francs ($1.05 billion), from 1.21 billion francs a year earlier, the Zurich-based bank said in a statement Friday. That beat the 668 million-franc average of five analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti told Bloomberg's Manus Cranny in Zurich the lack of visibility has an impact on clients' risk aversion, saying "at this stage, our job is to stay close and try to find the right risk profile for clients. Many of them want to be extremely conservative." Ermotti added that Brexit is posing "a lot of challenges" to the U.K. and the rest of Europe but UBS has a "high degree of flexibility."

Digimon or Pokemon?

Ah. An interesting topic.
For me, I learned about pokémon long before digimon. The whole school played the TCG and some had the gameboy games. When digimon started popping up in my country, people thought they were imitating pokémon and so digimon never got the popularity it deserved over here. I didn't even watch the anime or touch anything digimon for many years... until some month ago actually!
I love pokémon in the sense that the concept of the games is thrilling and fun. That you can build your own customized team out of hundreds of monsters to choose from, and then battle and gain levels and... it's just so rewarding to play.
The anime sucks though. I've watched it, true, but I stopped when I grew older and even though I tried to watch the Best Wishes season, I grew tired after a while. It's clearly a young kids show without depth and no character development whatsoever.
Digimon... I've always thought their designs were cool but a bit redundant. Until I really watched the first and third seasons of the anime and took a closer look at them. The digimon anime is superb. Sure, especially the first season is a bit cliché, but the whole monsters and chosen thing... it's what people love. Gabumon, Palmon, there's just so many well designed digimon that look interesting and while I used to detest the mechanical parts that they designed the evolutions with (since I was used to pokémon, where such a thing would be unnatural) I now think it's awesome.
Never played a digimon game but might try it on an emulator, if there are any GC or GBA games. I have a hard time believing they will beat the pokémon games though.
So... as far as designs go, I think many digimon look better than many pokémon, though the opposite is sometimes true as well.
As for the anime, digimon is the clear winner, having the characters grow older and have real feelings and thoughts... compared to the plastic pokémon characters. Also, people get hurt in the digimon anime. WHOA, PEOPLE CAN GET HURT that would never happen in pokémon. Only in the manga.
Which is a completely different thing. If we would bring in Pokémon Special/Adventures into this, pokémon would win by a landslide. Had that been the anime, it would have matched the digimon anime. Sadly, that's not the reality.
Conclusion - I HAVE NO IDEA what I like best. But I guess I have to say pokémon... though the concept of digimon introduced in Tamers is really interesting... ugh. It's a draw. Though I don't really want to call it a draw either. Let's just say that I can't decide xD

Politics Not Everyone Intends to Maintain a Respectul Silence About the Contents of Mary Cheney's Uterus
posted by December 8 at 11:47 AMon
Dr. Paul Cameron, the rabidly anti-gay head of the Family Research Institute, intends to insert himself into Mary Cheney's uterus. It's quite a press release. Here's the whole thing with my footnotes at the end:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. 8, Christian NewswireMary Cheney, the Vice President's unmarried daughter,1 is expecting. Dr. Paul Cameron, Chairman of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado Springs think-tank, condemned her decision:
"Unmarried women should not deliberately have children.2 Their children are more apt to experience privation and disruption.3 Consequently, such children are more apt to do poorly in school, disrupt society (e.g., engage in criminality), and be personally troubled.4 These wrongs are compounded when the child is brought into a homosexual setting.
"By this selfish action, Cheney is not merely disrupting society,5 she is being cruel to her child:
⢠Mary, 37, is currently 'partnered' with Heather Poe, 45. The median age of death for lesbians is around the late 50s.6 If Poe and Cheney stay together, odds are this child will lose at least one caretaker before graduating high school.
⢠Children of homosexuals testify that day-to-day living is more difficult7and they are more apt to report personal disturbance as a consequence.
⢠A high proportion of lesbian 'partnerings' break apart8with custody issues haunting the child for the rest of his life.
⢠The child will disproportionately associate with homosexualswho are as a class considerably more apt to have STDs and a criminal history, be interested in sex with children, involved in substance abuse, etc.9
⢠The child will have a much higher probability of learning homosexual tastes (at least a third of lesbian's children adopt homosexuality).10
"Her pregnancy is further evidence that participation in homosexual activity distorts value systems, inducing practitioners to harm the commonweal. Our society already has too many children born without the benefits of marriage;11 Cheney's action is not only a bad example, but poor treatment of an innocent child."
1. Mary Cheney has been with Heather Poe for 15 years. They would marry if they could marry, but they can't marry. It's kind of disingenuous for opponents of gay marriage to hold Cheney's unmarried state against her.
2. Would it be better if Mary Cheney, like so many straight women, got pregnant by accident? The very deliberateness that is required before a same-sex couple can start a family is one of the advantages our children enjoy. All children born to or adopted by same-sex couples are wanted children. My boyfriend and I did not get drunk and adopt one night; it's highly unlikely that Mary Cheney and Heather Poe got pregnant as the result of a broken condom.
3. Proof? Or does just saying it make it so? And I hardly think that any child born to Mary Cheney and Heather Poethe very picture of wealthy lesbianswill experience "privation" of any sort.
4. Again, proof? Where are the studies that show dyke-raised kids rob banks at higher rates than, say, red-state kids? I'm fairly certain none existoutside of Cameron's ass, which is where he pulls most of his "facts" from.
5. Cheney is "disrupting society"? How exactly did she manage to do that?
6. Cite? Study? Proof? Data? Cameron is infamous for touting studies that "prove" that gay men have the life expectancies of, well, fruit flies. But this is the first I've heard of lesbians having shortened life spans. Is it the lack of makeup? More exposure to the sun's harmful rays on golf courses? The backs of their mullets getting caught in factory machinery?
7. Yes, the children of homosexuals face certain difficultiesbecause of haters like Cameron and the fundie fools who keep him in business. It's a neat trick: I make your life miserable, I make the world an inhospitable place for you, I stoke anti-gay hate and fearand then when you wanna have kids I point out that you're being selfish because, hey, some people are mean to homosexuals. Really, Paul. Tell us all about it. I wonder if Nazis felt Jews shouldn't have children for the very same reason. "Hey, you don't want your kids to have to wear these tacky gold stars, do you?"
8. Yeah, those lesbian relationshipsso unstable. Unlike heterosexual relationships. No child of a heterosexual couple has had to endure the end of his parent's marriage and "custody issues… for the rest of his life." (I'm sure there are legit studies out there that show the exact opposite of Paul's assertion herethat lesbian relationships are more stable, and more monogamous, than straight relationshipsand if I have a little time later today, I'll go dig 'em up. Anyone with some time on their hands is welcome to post cites in the comments, and I'll add them to this post.)
9. Yes, homosexualsmale onestend to have higher rates of STIs. But lesbians have lower rates of STIs. By Paul's logic, the children of heterosexuals should be taken from their homes and placed with lesbian couples to protect them from contracting STIs. As for substance abuse, guilty. Homos tend to abuse substances at higher ratesbut that's an affliction more commonly found in unhappy, closeted, poorly adjusted homos. And, again, why are so many homos so miserable? Because of people like Paul. If Paul wants to see less dysfunction in the gay and lesbian community, he should stop persecuting gays and lesbians. And Mary and Heather certainly aren't closeted and seem, despite everything, pretty well-adjusted. They're unlikely to be drunks or meth addicts. As for criminal history? Cite, Paul? And as for sex with children, according to the FBI straight men are the biggest risk when it comes to child molestation. So we're back to taking kids from heterosexuals and giving them to dykes to raise.
10. No, no. Numerous studieswill add links ASAPhave shown that the children of gays and lesbians are no more likely to be gay or lesbian when they grow up than are the children of heterosexuals. As for other "homosexual tastes," I tried like hell to instill a taste for musical theater in my son. To no avail. He's all about Common Market, Green Day, and Slayer. If anything, my son has instilled heterosexual tastes in his father. Repeated listening have instilled an appreciation for Green Day in me, I've taken up snowboarding, and my son taught me how to throw a football correctly.
11. Oh, that's hilarious. Our society already has too many children born without the benefits of marriageI couldn't agree more, Paul. So let Mary and Heather get married. Let me and my boyfriend get married. There are millions of children in the United States being raised by same-sex couplesif you want more children to enjoy the benefits of marriage, let more children's parents marry. But don't deny us the right to marry and then fault us for failing to marry.
Okay, Slog readers, a challenge: Friday is our crunch day for the paper. I would like to spend the day tracking down cites for my rebuttals, but I can't. If anyone out there cares to do a little leg work for me, and put links in the comments, I'll come back in a bit and amend this post. Am I slacking? Perhaps. But I prefer to think of this as a little Wiki-style entry.

CHICAGO -- No matter how many goals he scores, how many points he racks up, Patrick Kane is still the yappy little brother of the Blackhawks' locker room.
With the Winter Olympics approaching, Kane, the youngest member of Team USA by eight months, hasn't been afraid to needle his three teammates who will play for the Team Canada juggernaut.
"Kaner," Team Canada defenseman Brent Seabrook said, "has been running his mouth. It'll be interesting to see what happens when we play them."
Canada and the United States face off Feb. 21, for those circling their calendars.
Kane, who is undeniably excited to play for his country, knows that nothing he can say will be able to affect his Canadian teammates, who will have an incredible amount of expectations on them to win the gold. Think Michael Phelps and the Dream Team, with a dash of Soviet Union hockey, though without the specter of Siberian work camps.
"In Canada, there's a lot of pressure on them," Kane said. "I think they can feed off that."
Mischievously, he added: "I know we play them the third game of the tournament. Hopefully we can get out to an early lead and get the crowd to work against them."
Chicago has fallen in love with these Blackhawks since last season. The true hockey fans have nothing but a budding goalie battle and some power-play impotency to banter about, as the Hawks look strong enough to end their epic Stanley Cup drought. If they don't win, or at least make the Finals, this season will be billed a failure. But for all the pressure they have in Chicago, for Team Canada's Seabrook, Duncan Keith and Jonathan Toews, it pales in comparison to what's waiting for them in Vancouver.
While Kane represents the Blackhawks for the U.S. and Marian Hossa and Tomas Kopecky will play for Slovakia, the Canadian contingent has a far different mission.
It's gold medal or get out for the members of Canada's high-powered, high-priced team, which boasts a devastating lineup, with Sidney Crosby, Dany Heatley, Jarome Iginla, Joe Thornton and Rick Nash among the big names on the roster trying to wipe away the stain of Turin in 2006, when Canada finished seventh after winning the gold in 2002 in Salt Lake City. It's going to be fun to watch this team deal with the pressure of playing for more than a medal and five-figure bonuses. This is a team playing for the collective pride of a country, a scenario that keeps the Olympics relevant. Team Canada playing in Canada, likely in the gold-medal finals, will be a can't-miss event for sports fans.
"It's going to be a lot of pressure," said Seabrook, who has mostly brushed away talking about the Olympics before Friday. "I've heard the media up there say if Canada wins gold, they've just started to reach their potential. There's not going to be any shortage of pressure. We're just looking to get out there and get these Games started."
There's a good chance this could be the last Olympics with NHL players, which raises the stakes for Canadian pride.
Team Canada only gets one full day of practice as it begins play on Tuesday against Norway. That's a hurdle that all of the top teams will face with the NHL playing through Sunday. The Hawks are at Columbus on Sunday before breaking for a fortnight.
Seabrook, a British Columbia native, said he hopes to be paired with current partner Keith, a prospect that will help him adjust to a new system and unfamiliar teammates. He's also thinking of this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"It's not something that's going to come up ever again for me," he said. "To have an opportunity to play in that tournament, and play for Canada, it's a great honor, and I'm really looking forward to getting out there."
Other reporters told me that Seabrook had been in shutdown mode about discussing the Olympics, while Keith would be avuncular, but I found it completely the opposite. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have used my first question to Keith to remind him of the silver medal he won with Team Canada in the 2008 World Championships.
"How was the silver received in Canada?" I asked facetiously.
"Obviously we weren't too happy about it," he said. "With it being our home soil, it was tough. We lost to the Russians there. I think it serves more incentive and you know, you learn your lessons and make it better this time around."
Keith also doesn't bite on questions about the pressure, undue or not, of playing hockey for Canada. His candor is refreshing, even if it's a tad unrealistic.
"I think every team has pressure on them," he said. "Everyone wants to put the pressure on us. It's funny that way, because Sweden is the defending champs. Do they have pressure to defend their gold? If Russia doesn't win, are they going to be disappointed with how much offensive skill they have? If they lose, what do they think?"
It's not as if Keith is crying "Woe Canada." In fact, he welcomes the expectations, which is a good sign, because with his goal-scoring ability, he could emerge as a star in the tournament.
"It's fine people want to put so much pressure on Canada," he said. "But to me, it's a good thing we're back in Canada playing. Other teams have just as much pressure as we do."
It's going to be hard for Team Canada to elicit much sympathy if they don't win. The roster makes more than $120 million in salary. Only three players earn less than $3.5 million a year, and Keith and Toews just signed lucrative new contracts. But money and talent can be trumped by cohesiveness. The 2006 team earned a lot, too.
The Canadian hockey establishment has put together a well-rounded roster, mixing youth and experience, size with speed. Bringing aboard Keith and Seabrook, one of the top defensive tandems in the NHL, was a good choice. Toews is expected to contribute as well.
"Obviously [the roster] looks good," Keith said. "But it's important we develop chemistry. It's important we play for one another and play as a team. I think the best team wins the tournament."
Aside from jingoism, the Olympics can help the Blackhawks who are participating. While it's not unfair to wonder whether the event hurts a streaking team, playoff intensity in February could help the participants in the spring.
"All the guys over there will be exposed to a lot of pressure, scrutiny and a lot of impact games," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "I think by working your way through that, there are lessons you can learn. Hopefully they can apply them down the stretch with us."
"Absolutely," Seabrook said. "I think it will get us ready for the playoffs in the middle of the season. But at the same time, there's still 25 games left after the Olympics. We've got to take care of that first."
While I'm rooting for Team USA to pull an upset, there will be a part of me rooting for Canada, too. And in Chicago, I don't think I'm alone.

Seems like the right advice here is "get fat but not too fat". People categorized as obese still had higher death rates. So, don't eat too many of those donuts.
I like donuts, especially the ones from Top Pot.
Am I the only person who thinks Top Pot is really really over-rated?
Yeah, well explain that to my waistline and the growing pants that refuse to fit anymore.
You CAN die of not having any more good pants to wear tho'
And this is why I ignore federal researchers. Eat it science!
It's not about being healthy or living longer. It's about looking good. Jesus.
@3, yes, you are the only one who thinks Top Pot is overrated. You need a pink feather boa. Now.
This is a cry for help. Dan, don't do it.
Being overweight isn't necessarily being obese. Being obese is being excessively overweight... whereas being overweight can simply be a matter of being a little bigger than average. Many athletes, for example, are technically overweight due to their muscle mass.
dude, mighty-o wipes the floor with top pot.
Hell, that cheers ME up! ;-> I'm fat, but I do walk about a mile a day and am reasonably active (much as I hate exercise).
I think what you eat and how active you are matter, in addition to your genes. My great grandfather was fat, drank, smoked cigars and lived to be 89 (he died after breaking a hip). I hope I acquired his longevity genes.
By contrast, his mother, who was also very fat, died at 50 from what sounded like diabetes (she'd developed gangrene in both legs).
I've heard results like this before. About fucking time someone did a massive enough study.
Seriously, I'm BMI-obese, but all my tests (because every doctor who sees my written weight freaks out and orders a barrage of tests) come back as extremely healthy. Because I come from a long line of farmers on either side who saw the worth of a woman as her ability to carry a pig under each arm.
People need to stop acting the the BMI is the only true indicator of weight. Remember that Meme bitch that said Jordan was too fat, and the picture of diabetes and heart disease? That's what comes of blanket statements.
They may live longer, but they get laid less, and really, can you call that living?
Last I heard all these "fatter is healthier" claims had been debunked. A recent Scientific American article took them on, and the conclusion was that a lot of people get thin when they're dying of a disease, so this skews the results.
This new claim still only establishes that there are correlations between weight and death rates, not causes. In fact, there's nothing really new here, as far as I can see.
Excessive fat is still not good for you.
Gitai: Having huge boobs and hips has never gotten in the way of me getting laid, by either gender. The only thing that's really ever thwarted me is being close to six feet tall. Why aren't there any studies on the pitfalls of height?
Also, just because you're fat doesn't mean you also have the genes for diabetes. I have lots of fat relatives and less than half of them ever got diabetes. And some of the fat ones lived to be pretty old. There's also no heart disease in either my mother or father's families.
There's cancer, stroke and general old age, but, heck, everyone dies of something.
@14, the article I read said that they eliminated those who were underweight due to severe weight loss from illness, and the correlation stayed the same.
Gomez: You're right, a lot of folks are BMI-overweight due to having more muscle than average.
Of course, most of the Seahawks front line is probably BMI-obese (>30).
the CDC is an overly politicized, crony laden JOKE. a word of caution: don't believe anything they publish. it's the FEMA of public health.
and don't just blindly take one study's word over any other. no single study is perfect and provides all the answers.
Okay, so what politicking applies to this study? They didn't want to hurt Dick Cheney's feelings?
21 - the issue is that the people running the show aren't the most qualified candidates for the job, rather the most well-connected. that's pretty much it.
to wit, a few years ago they published an obesity study whose results were way over-inflated due to a minor mathematical oversight, which of course they tried to pawn off on someone else. if that's not enough, it turns out the study was even worse than that.....
"Since the CDC knowingly used refuted research as the basis for their false 400,000 figure, they have a public obligation to go back to the drawing board. Policymakers, public health groups and the media should immediately cease using this data and stop the ridiculous claim that obesity-related deaths rival those of smoking."
Correct, Mighty-O rules all galaxies. Plus, every time I say their name I think of a fantastic orgasm. :D

A procession, escorted by state patrol and the riders, left Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Saturday with the body of Staff Sgt. Berthold A. Chastain, then went to Dalton, Ga., where Chastain was born in 1916, and then to Cleveland.
Along the way people stood to salute or wave American flags.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press and Cleveland Daily Banner reported that Chastain, then a 27-year-old father, and others in his crew on the B-24D Liberator bomber were killed when the plane
disappeared during a reconnaissance mission on Oct. 27, 1943.

All Rise...
The Charge
No, not that Twister.
The Case
I originally planned to write a single-word review of this film: "Sh*tster." But I figured our Chief Justice wouldn't look too kindly on that. Unfortunately, the lack of fecal epithets leaves me at a bit of a loss as to describe the extent of this film's mediocrity.
Let's start, then with a brief rundown of the plot. (No, Not That) Twister offers a glimpse into the unhappy lives of a deeply wacky rural Kansas family, headed by the preternaturally grizzled Harry Dean Stanton. Daughter Maureen (Suzy Amis) is a beer-swilling layabout and single mother of a precocious young daughter. Maureen's ex-boyfriend and absentee father (or is he?) of her child, Chris (The Practice's Dylan McDermott) rolls into town and seeks to worm his way back into Maureen and his daughter's lives. Meanwhile, brother Crispin Glover (deep, mournful sigh) is…there. The film takes these characters and mingles them in a series of combinations of dull, talky scenes until the titular twister forces them all into the house, where the crescendo of tedium that has been building throughout the film finally implodes into a black hole of boredom.
Okay, truth to tell, it's not that bad. With the exception of the always annoying Crispin Glover, each individual moment of Twister might, in more capable hands, contain some dramatic and/or comedic value. Unfortunately, director Michael Almereyda, whose blazing lack of talent would blossom putridly in his thoroughly inept 2000 adaptation of Hamlet, knows a good deal more about framing shots than stitching them together into a coherent narrative. Almereyda's idea of compelling drama involves characters standing around spouting "wacky" lines while taking turns chewing the scenery. It's like watching a Merchant-Ivory remake of a John Waters film.
About the only reason for anyone to watch Twister is to take in the unique charms of Crispin Glover, who is given free rein in this film to be as self-indulgently nutty as he likes. If that concept excites you, godspeed. To everyone else, this film represents 93 minutes torn from your life and carried away by a tornado of dreck. Even mildly amusing cameo appearances by the likes of Tim Robbins and William S. Burroughs can't save this mess.
Video? Audio? Special features? Please. This is an Artisan catalog release. Need I say more? Let's put it this way, the packaging lists "Full Screen Version" as a special feature. For shame, Artisan. For shame.
Somewhere, deep within Twister, is a searing portrayal of the disintegration of a family, leavened by quirky, oddball humor. But that thin undertone of genuine artistry is fatally smothered beneath a miasma of smug, callow gestures that will please only the heavily medicated…and fans of Crispin Glover, which may be redundant.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Twister (1990) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

I'm fairly new to the MVVM concept but like a lot of the flexibility it gives me so far. However, I'm struggling to find a good way to manage my code. I have several classes that are just sitting in a folder in my solution such as
zzzViewModel.cs you get the idea. It has started to crowd my solution, making it harder to find the files I'm looking for. Is there some standard way to organize these files? Do I create a View and ViewModel folder to separate and clean up the solution or have people found a better way?

I'm fairly new to the MVVM concept but like a lot of the flexibility it gives me so far. However, I'm struggling to find a good way to manage my code. I have several classes that are just sitting in a folder in my solution such as
We use separate projects for
And within those projects, we'll potentially add folders to provide additional structure.
The View project references ViewModel, and the ViewModel project references the Model.
Images often receive their own folder. So far, resource dictionaries, converters, and extended objects have been placed in the main project folder for the layer.
An alternative is to have "major application areas" as projects. Then you have either have V / VM / M folders within each area or you just place the related MVVM files in the area project folder.
I don't like this approach as much since I'll frequently have to work on multiple Views at a time so I end up navigating through a lot more project structure than I would like.
This approach kind of limits re-use when it comes to resource dictionaries or similar. The cross-referencing of projects can become difficult to maintain. However, creating a dedicated "common resource" project would be an approach to easing this problem.
If you don't want separate projects, at least separate the different parts with project folders and namespaces.
I use a different pattern. I keep related view, viewmodel, and model in the same assembly, separated by namespace. Each new relationship creates a new assembly.
In one project we had more or less 60 "screens" with a lot of nesting and similar names.
Organizing it in Views, ViewModels and Controllers folders was quite difficult to work with, since the whole folder nested structure was replicated on all of the 3 main folders and going from the view model to its view and back was a pain.
I keep thinking that it would be a more comfortable-to-work organization by keeping together the files that belong to the same screen or functional area, like:
Mainly because, at that project (and some others I worked with), those things are quite static. You will only perform small changes. And in the case of a huge refactor, it is easier to move from one file to the other, you can see them together in the Solution Explorer, which makes it very intuitive.
Also, If you have the Track items option activated in Visual Studio, it won't drive you crazy navigating up and down a lot all the time.
I have separated my solution in 8 projects:
I had to create the Startup project only to house the App.xaml (and App.xaml.cs). Otherwise, I had circular reference problem.
I have been working with this format and is well practical and functional.
In the next step, I'll create test projects for each layer.

Essay - Introduction Sickle Cell Anemia is an Inherited Blood Disorder in...
***** cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder in which hemoglobin is defective (Genetic disease profile: Sickle cell *****). After ***** molecules give up their oxygen, some cluster together *****d form long, rod-like structures. These structures cause red ***** cells to become stiff and assume a sickle shape that makes it difficult for them ***** squeeze through small blood vessels. As a result, they stack up and cause blockages ***** deprive organs ***** tissues of oxygen-carrying *****.
***** cell anemia affects millions world wide (Genetic disease pr*****ile: Sickle cell anemia). It is the most common among people whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa; Spanish-speaking regions (South America, Cuba, Central America); Saudi Arabia; India; and Med*****erranean countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy. In the Unites States, it affects around 72,000 people, most of whose ancestors come ***** Africa. The disease occurs in about one in every 500 African-American births and one in every 1000 to 1400 Hispanic-American *****. About two million Americans, or ***** in twelve African Americans, carry the sickle ***** trait.
Genotypic Expressions
People have twenty-two identical chromo***** pairs with one of each pair *****herited from the father, and ***** from the mother (How does sickle cell cause disease?, 2002). Mutation involving gene alteration in the exchange between a p*****rent and child occurs only rarely. Most likely, sickle cell ***** depends on inherited *****s ***** parents' the disease cannot be caught, acquired or otherwise transmitted. ***** disease is caused by a change in a s*****gle amino acid difference in the beta chain of hemoglobin. (Malaria, sickle ***** anemia, ***** balancing selection).
Individuals with two copies ***** the sickle ***** of the gene have sickle cell anemia (*****, sickle cell anemia and balancing selection). Heterozygotes -- individuals with one n*****mal ***** one mutant copy of ***** sickle gene ***** appear normal and do not manifest the ***** except under very stressful conditions. However, these individuals are carriers of the sickle cell *****. Approximately ten percent ***** ***** Americans ***** carriers.

the book ends and then keeps on going, like a dirt path after the sidewalk ceases. things become unnatural by the final chapters. a microcosm of an introspective life
Possibly my favorite novel ever. The unexpected shock of Naphta's solution to a quarrel. the SNOW chapter, of course. The sense of a past never to be repeated and a world completely shattered by the Great War. The story manages in almost every sentence to be simultaneously bleak and triumphant. I wish for more people in the world to have read this novel.
The ending tore my mind.
You're faced with a daunting task when you try to talk about The Magic Mountain – there are so many threads that to pull on one seems unfair to the others. For some it's a meditation on time, for others it's the foundational 'sick-lit' masterpiece; it's an allegory of pre-First World War Europe, say one group of supporters; not at all, argue others, it's a parody of the Bildungsroman tradition.
And yet despite the profusion of themes and ideas, this is a supremely contained book. 'Insular' you might almost say, were the etymology not so inappropriate; perhaps 'hermetically sealed' is better (and indeed that becomes an important phrase in the text). The world of this novel is a closed one, or so at least it appears – sealed off from reality, with its own rules, its own time, its own space. The extent to which the characters here can interact with the 'real' world is something they have to discover themselves through the book's seven-hundred-plus pages.
The plot can be disposed of in a single statement: that a young engineer called Hans Castorp takes a three-week visit to see his cousin in a Swiss sanatorium and ends up staying for seven years. This is not a novel of events, but a novel of ideas. (The main idea was apparently, I wonder if I can write seven hundred pages where literally nothing happens?)
At first the set-up seems to anticipate the whole imprisoned-in-a-medical-facility trope that has subsequently become familiar – as Hans gets sucked into the routine, and gradually diagnosed with problems of his own that prevent his leaving, I was picking up on a vague One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest vibe, and I also found myself thinking of the Alpine clinic scenes from On Her Majesty's Secret Service or even the Timothy Cavendish bits of Cloud Atlas.
But the danger here is more subtle. The staff are friendly and accommodating (despite a sense that 'above and behind [the Director] stood invisible forces'); you can leave for a trip into town, or even discharge yourself, whenever you wish. To paraphrase The Eagles, you can check out anytime you like, but you can never discount the possibility of a tubercular relapse forcing you to return with a collapsed lung. The patients claim they want to get out, but their attitude, in reality, is much more ambiguous. There's a brilliant moment where Hans rails against the surroundings a little too much, and the director of the sanatorium calls his bluff with a quick examination:
When he was done, he said, 'You may leave.'
Hans Castorp stammered, 'You mean…but how can that be? Am I cured?'
'Yes, you're cured […]. As far as I'm concerned, you may leave.'
'But, Director Behrens. You're not really serious, are you?'
And suddenly we realise that Hans does not want to leave at all. He doesn't want to go back to the responsibilities and expectations of his engineering job; here, in the sanatorium, he has freedom – freedom, and also a certain license in behaviour granted to the sick.
This is what lies behind the book's treatment of time, and why the narrator can refer to the story as a Zeitroman, a 'time-novel'. The inhabitants are in some sense degraded by being there, but they also cherish their privileged status, exempt from the world's calendar. One character speaks of the sanatorium as an 'isle of Circe'; it is a 'life without time', where the 'true tense of all existence is the "inelastic present"' (ausdehnungslose Gegenwart). In such an environment, there is a tendency for ideas, ideologies, dogma, to clash together unmediated – and also, conversely, for petty jealousies, flirtations and sexual desires to be unnaturally heightened.
Indeed this must be one of the most sexual novels ever written to involve so little actual sex. Everything is sublimated into various social conventions, so that Hans's quasi-relationship with his mysterious fellow patient Clavdia Chauchat is initiated when he asks to borrow a pencil, and a climactic instance of sexual union is described, adorably, as a moment when 'the use of informal pronouns achieved its full meaning'.
Psychoanalytic critics have had a field-day with the pencil-lending, not least because it reminds Hans of his homoerotic feelings for a childhood friend. But what makes the book truly Freudian in a less trivial sense is its close examination of the links between sex and death, eros and thanatos. One of my favourite chapters is the section called 'Research', where Hans stays up all night reading books about anatomy and biochemistry and feeling intimations of mortality mixed with a vague horniness. Life is imagined as 'a secret, sensate stirring in the chaste chill of space' – 'matter blushing in reflex' – while evolution is 'the quintessence of sensuality and desire', stirred into action 'by reeking flesh'. Gazing out over the nighttime Alpine landscape, Hans sees only a cosmic, naked (female) human body:
The night of its pubic region built a mystic triangle with the steaming pungent darkness of the armpits, just as the red epithelial mouth did with the eyes, or the red buds of the breast with the vertically elongated navel.
(This whole virtuoso section reminded me of university, spending all night poring over textbooks while trying to manage teenage hormones.)
So much for the metaphysical games, the grand narrative theories. I'd expected something of the sort just from the novel's reputation. What I had not expected – and it came as a very pleasant surprise – was to find that The Magic Mountain is a comic novel. In fact the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that it's this tone that lifts it, for me, into the first rank. Apart from anything else, it's so important for the reader that they have some counterpoint to the grandiose theories so many of the characters want to expound upon, and Mann provides exactly that through the endearing character of Hans himself, our 'thoroughly unpretentious', 'unheroic hero'. High-minded comments – and there are many – are rarely allowed to stand without an invitation for us to smile at them:
'Did you know that the great Plotinus is recorded to have said that he was ashamed to have a body?' Settembrini asked, and with such earnest expectation of an answer that Hans Castorp found himself forced to admit that this was the first he had heard of it.
Later, after a similarly earnest apophthegm from another character, we are allowed to eavesdrop on Hans's thought process: 'Well, there's a Delphic remark for you,' he says to himself. 'And if you purse your lips tight after delivering it, that will certainly intimidate everyone for a bit.' In fact even when Hans is the one delivering the sententiousness, he can't take himself very seriously:
'There are so many different kinds of stupidity, and cleverness is one of the worst. Hello! Why, I think I've just coined a phrase, a bon mot. How do you like it?'
('Very much,' comes the deadpan reply. 'I cannot wait for your first collection of aphorisms.') Without these ironic shifts in register, the book would still be fascinating but it would be monotone: with them, the effect is almost orchestral.
Such things are brought out especially well by John E Woods in his 1996 translation, an improvement on the old 1927 Lowe-Porter version in every way. Lowe-Porter, it has been said, succeeded in translating the novel into German, and having tried the first few pages of her translation I admit I found it almost unreadable. I had to order the Woods from the US, but it was worth it, despite the godawful cover and font design used by Vintage, and passing over also the Americanisms scattered through the text (catercorner being perhaps the most jarring; Woods also silently amends the patients' temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit!).
Towards the end of the book, we finally suspect that Mann is pushing us beyond the 'hyperarticulate' arguments and towards real-world applications of these theories – to 'leave logomachy behind', as the narrator says at one point. The final couple of pages of this book move for the first time beyond Davos, to show us the Western Front – and we realise with a terrific jolt that it is 1914 and time has not stopped moving after all. Suddenly we appreciate the full importance of the novel's investigation into how love and life can be made to emerge from death.
But now I am in danger of just rephrasing the book's final lines in less felicitous language. Suffice to say that the whole mountainous project comes together in the climax, and it all ends, characteristically, in a question mark. Readers today may be better-placed than they wish to supply the answers.

A sanitorium in the Swiss Alps reflects the societal ills of pre-twentieth-century Europe, and a young marine engineer rises from his life of anonymity to become a pivotal character in a story about how a human's environment affects self identity. In this dizzyingly rich novel of ideas, Mann uses a sanatorium in the Swiss Alps, a community devoted exclusively to sickness, as a microcosm for Europe, which in the years before 1914 was already exhibiting the first symptoms of its own terminal irrationality.

Is there an option to enter an existing Windows 8 license key in the Upgrade Assistant?
I bought the License during my first try, but it got stuck at 62% when readying devices so I had to restore my Windows 7. Now when I run the assistant again I have only one option to buy a new License (again).
UPDATE: I found out there are to different executables, Windows8-Upgrade-Assistant.exe and Windows8-Setup.exe (I got the second one via a link from the email I received with my key).
Windows8-Setup.exe gives me the option to download Windows8 install and create an ISO or USB Drive but both options fail with this message: "Sorry, something happened and we couldn't finish creating the ISO. Restart Setup and try again."

I'm using Types and combining it with Gravity Forms to automatically create posts from a form. All is working well, except one problem. I can't get the Upload box for featured images thumbnail box to show up.
I've checked the " Thumbnail Add a box for uploading a featured image" box in the Edit Custom Post Type menu.
Gravity Forms uploads an image and assigns it as a featured image, but if I need to adjust that image, I can't get to it via the featured images box and if I need to add an image, I can't get to the box to add it, nor does the "Add Media" button allow me to set a featured image.
Any ideas?

Simon Doonan Will Decorate the White House for the Holidays
This should be interesting.
Obese elf Simon Doonan will apply his trade at the White House this Christmas as the Obamas's official holiday decorator. His plans remain a secret, but we do know there will be a tree and art made by children (always a crowd pleaser). Hopefully Doonan takes some tips from his own home and includes at least one huge statue of a foot. [Caucus/NYT]

I bought Sony VAIO SVS1511V9RB today and can't boot it from neither USB flash drive nor bootable CD. I've changed priority of boot drives to Internal CD-ROM, External devices, Internal Hard Disk, Network, and enabled external device boot. But after this only Windows was loaded. Also I tried to press F8, F9, F11 and F12, but also without success, Windows loaded from hard drive instead. I checked that my desktop booted from CD. Notebook can read CD in Windows, and it tries to read it while booting but don't print any messages and just load Windows. BIOS is Insyde H2O, version R0140C5.
Any ideas how to boot it from CD or USB Flash drive?

Super-scorching Tory Lane steals the show. The humungous-titted brunette, squeezed into form-fitting latex and monster heels, is squirtable enough just during her tease, let alone the main act. This bitch just oozes pure porno sin.

Plane with student pilot violates DC air space
WASHINGTON U.S. fighter jets intercepted a small plane flown by a student pilot after it crossed into restricted airspace in the Washington area, military and aviation officials said Monday.
The two F-16 fighters launched by the North American Aerospace Defense Command escorted the Cessna 172 to the airport in Manassas, Va., officials said.
The plane landed without incident just after 2:30 p.m. Monday and was met by law enforcement personnel, they said.
A lone student pilot was at the controls of the Cessna, FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said. The plane had taken off from Warrenton, Va., earlier in the day, she said.
Air traffic controllers were unable to make contact with the plane before it crossed into restricted airspace, she said. The plane penetrated the outer ring of the restricted area over Virginia, but not the inner ring, she said.
