Written by Frank Salvato
April 18, 2008
By Frank Salvato
When we examine the Charters of Freedom – and specifically the US Constitution – it is clear that the Executive Branch is charged with executing the laws of the land created by the Legislative Branch (with the consent of the Executive Branch via the signature of the President) and that the Legislative Branch is charged with crafting legislation; charged with debating, weighing and then enacting legislation that would become the law of the land. The Framers even established a mechanism where the Legislative Branch might "override" a presidential veto should the Executive Branch oppose legislation brought forth by an enlarged majority of Congress.
This factuality accepted, it is next to impossible, but for the bully pulpit afforded the stature of the presidency, for the President of the United States to be an effective "change agent." While he (or she) can certainly execute executive orders and signing statements, the fact remains, it is Congress that holds the power to legislate and fund laws and government programs. Therefore, simple logic mandates that for all the tall rhetoric of "change" coming from the presidential candidates – especially the Democrats – their promises will, for the most part, ring hollow. In order to bring about real change in government, one must "change" the Legislative Branch. In this truth the American people are in luck.
By the structure of our constitutional government we find that the easiest political contests to affect are in the Legislative Branch. This is so because each of those we vote for are specific to our location, one more immediate than the other. Where the president represents the whole of the nation's populace, our US Senators are elected by the whole of the populace in a singular state. Even more localized in voter constituency are those selected to become US Representatives.
It is for this reason that so many of the constitutionally literate take issue with senators and representatives taking it upon themselves to dabble in foreign relations. Senators and representatives are not elected by the total of the American electorate and do not officially represent the total of the American people, no matter what Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would have us think. In reality, those senators and representatives who do partake in unsanctioned foreign relations are rogue and should be recognized as such.
Accepting the constitutional and electoral realities of the Legislative Branch, it is clear that it is the American people and not the presidential candidates that have the power to bring about real change, this power being the ability to easily vote to and out of office those elected officials who represent us in the US Congress. So, why is it that the American electorate is repeatedly duped into believing that it is the president who can bring about change? For that matter, why is it that the American electorate believes that the responsibility for the foibles of national government should be laid – completely – at the foot of the Executive Branch?
The answer to those two questions is one in the same. It is easier to blame one man (or woman) than it is to blame 535. That said, when one looks at the performance of those in the Legislative Branch it is clear that We the People certainly do need "change" in Washington, DC.
Admittedly, some actions taken by the Executive Branch – by President Bush and his administration – have been disappointing but when compared to the dismal performance of Congress over the past several decades it is clear that the Legislative Branch has become corrupted throughout and that they have used the tools of deception and deflection – aided by an agenda-driven media – to blame a singular man in the President of the United States for bad government executed at their hand.
It is Congress that enacts financial allocations and who is, therefore, responsible for the deficit. It is Congress that has created so many unconstitutionally mandated entitlement programs that roughly a third of our paychecks isn't enough revenue to satisfy the annual federal budget. It is Congress that has failed to rescue Social Security. It is Congress that refuses to simplify and make more equitable the tax system. It is Congress that refuses to cease the practice of earmarking. It is Congress that is dragging its feet on funding the securing of our borders. It is Congress that has elongated the military action in the Iraqi theater of the Global War against Islamofascism by refusing to learn from their past mistake of injecting politics into military operations when US boots are on the ground. And it is Congress – the Legislative Branch – that has seated those currently under indictment for financial and procedural malfeasance.
The despotic quality of today's Legislative Branch is not a malady unforeseen. In fact, in his Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 13, 245.4 (1784), Thomas Jefferson professed his belief that the concentration of government power in the Legislative Branch,
"...is precisely the definition of despotic government. It will be no alleviation that these powers will be exercised by a plurality of hands, and not a single one. One hundred and seventy-three despots [the number of the Virginia legislators] would surely be as oppressive as one... An elective despotism was not the government we fought for, but one which should not only be founded on free principles, but in which the powers of the government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others..."
To be certain, our country does need "change." But to believe that we need to rely on the three candidates vying for the presidency to bring about this change is to be deceived by those who quest to maintain their seats of power at the American public's expense. If we are to have change it must come through the Legislative Branch. If we are to affect change through the Legislative Branch then we have to honestly look at those we elect to the US Congress and that means taking the time to be informed and to get involved...locally.
We all vote for the president. But we are all responsible – and therefore, culpable – for those we send to Congress.

Article: Verification Methods For 198 Common Raw Materials Using A Handheld Raman Spectrometer
By Robert L. Green, Robert Brush, Wayne Jalenak, and Christopher D. Brown
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are seeking ways to maintain and improve product quality while reducing manufacturing costs, including in the analytical testing of raw materials. Movement toward 100% inspection of raw materials as well as increased production volumes and the desire for lean manufacturing are additional motivations to find more cost-effective testing technologies.
Raman spectroscopy's inherent selectivity makes it an effective option for qualitative verification of pharmaceutical raw materials . Until recently, Raman spectroscopy was difficult to implement because of the technical challenge of detecting the relatively weak but highly selective Raman scattering effect. During the past 10 years, improvements in the sensitivity of charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors, the increased availability of longer-wavelength diode lasers, and developments in Rayleigh rejection filters have made Raman spectroscopy suitable for routine applications. Moreover, miniaturization of optical components has enabled the development of portable, handheld Raman spectrometers capable of robust material verification through transparent packaging materials such as glass and plastic.

What lesson can investors take from the Wikileaks data dump?
In one sense, the Wikileak's publication of State Department cables is a grown up version of a kid who has posted all of a popular peer's secrets on FaceBook. Obviously the stakes are much higher, but one word that might capture the sentiment: AWKWARD. The takeaway relates to a lesson I learned as a grade schooler; assume anything you commit to writing will be read by everyone. I learned this the hard way as I gained some notoriety among my peers for making characitures of my teachers (and was eventually busted by my 8th grade science teacher - ackward indeed). After I was caught, my father instilled me with the wisdom of about never putting certain things in writing.
Today political players around the world are digesting this deluge of data. Feelings are hurt, sentiment sharing will be deep-sixed, and State Departments around the globe are positioning themselves for how to deal with the inevitable controversies around the dynamics of he-said-she-said. Regardless, the risks of making sub-optimal decisions (i.e. overreactions) based on TMI (Too Much Information) exists.
Between a multitude of television programming, news outlets, and blogs, today investors too are submersed in an age of information where data is spun into commentary at just about every turn (yours truly included). Thus, investors have been at risk of making sub-optimal decisions based on TMI. I often think of relatively aggressive investors who become conservative at the peak of crisis (when the news the worst and doomsayers reign) - or visa-versa - only to capture more downside than up.
Perhaps one of the better weapons to handling TMI comes from the concept of "Intelligence Hierarchy" as highlighted in Barry Ritholtz's blog yesterday - where data transcends information, information can yield knowledge, and knowledge can bring wisdom. In my opinion the proportion of investment data and information at arms reach outweighs knowledge and wisdom by about 10-to-1 (which is consistent with the pyramid diagram of the subject). A good exercise might be to make a casual observation of this the next time you flip on your favorite business channel.
Further, this is why it often pays to listen to those who speak from a position of wisdom. When someone like Warren Buffett comments on the market or investing in general, for example, I typically observe more wisdom than data. Quips like "be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy" exemplify this.
Another bit of wisdom I've come to embrace is that investors (and people in general) respond to incentives. This helps to explain, for example, why gold remains at relatively lofty levels. With zero-range interest rates (after inflation), the only incentive to put assets into money-markets or Treasury bonds is safety. However, most investors want more than a 0% inflation-adjusted return. Combine this with a fear of inflation, and there is a pretty good incentive to own gold (I don't own any, but understand why one might).
The wisdom of incentives also explain why deeply-discounted or higher yielding investments (especially when adjusted for risk) tend to outperform in the long-run. For example, when you can buy a company that earns $10 for every $100 you invest, you have a greater incentive versus a company that earns only $5 for $100 invested. This is exactly the difference between a company with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 10 versus 20. These incentives often lie deeper than the data at hand. While the news and information (the story) may be more appealing for the company with a P/E of 20, investing in the other company may be more profitable (and wise) when the story turns positive and incentives gleam.
Consequently, while TMI may be a sign of the times, the burden is on investors and politicians alike to seek wisdom.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee recommended on Wednesday a change for the 2014 season that will allow defensive units to substitute within the first 10 seconds of the 40-second play clock.
The exception would be the final two minutes of each half.
"This rules change is being made to enhance student-athlete safety by guaranteeing a small window for both teams to substitute," said Troy Calhoun, head coach at the Air Force Academy and chair of the committee, which met in Indianapolis.
"As the average number of plays per game has increased, this issue has been discussed with greater frequency by the committee in recent years and we felt like it was time to act in the interests of protecting our student-athletes."
Under this rule proposal, a hurry-up offense will not be allowed to snap the ball until the play clock reaches 29 seconds or less. If the offense snaps the ball before the play clock reaches 29 seconds, a 5-yard, delay-of-game penalty will be assessed.
Under current rules, defensive players are not guaranteed an opportunity to substitute unless the offense substitutes first. This part of the rule will remain in place in scenarios where the play clock starts at 25 seconds.
The rules committee also proposed an alteration involving the instant-replay review on targeting fouls, which includes the ejection of the player committing the foul along with a 15-yard penalty.
The committee recommends that if the instant replay official rules that a disqualification should not have occurred, and if the targeting foul is not accompanied by another personal foul, the 15-yard penalty for targeting should not be enforced.
All rules proposals must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which will discuss the football rules changes March 6.

Hispanic/Latino Profile
(Map of the US with the top 10 states displaying the
largest Hispanic/Latino population according to the Census Bureau)
Overview (Demographics): This ethnic group includes any person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race. According to the 2011 U.S. Census Bureau population estimate, there are roughly 52 million Hispanics living in the United States. This group represents 16.7 percent of the U.S. total population. In 2010, among Hispanic subgroups, Mexicans rank as the largest at 63 percent. Following Mexicans are: Central and South Americans (13.5 percent), Puerto Ricans (9.2 percent), Cubans (3.5 percent). In 2011, States with the largest Hispanic populations are California (14 million), Texas (9.8 million), New York (3.5 million), Florida (4.4 million), and Illinois (2.1 milion). Another significant point is that in 2010, 33.9 percent of Hispanics were under the age 18 in comparisons to 20.1 percent of non-Hispanic Whites. Among Hispanics, Mexicans have the largest proportion of people under age 18, at 37 percent.
Language Fluency: Language fluency varies among Hispanic subgroups who reside within the mainland United States. Census 2009 and 2010 data shows that 76 percent of Hispanics speak a language other than English at home: 76% of Mexicans, 66% of Puerto Ricans, 82% of Cubans, 92% of Salvadorans. 35 percent of Hispanics state that they are not fluent in English. Within that group, 37% of Mexicans, 54% of Central Americans, and 42% of Cubans are not yet fluent in English.
Educational Attainment: According to a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report, 62 percent of Hispanics in comparison to 91 percent non-Hispanic Whites have a high school diploma. 13 percent of Hispanics in comparison to 31 percent of non-Hispanic whites have a bachelor's degree or higher.
Economics: According to a 2010 U.S. Census Bureau report, 26.6 percent of Hispanics, in comparison to 14.9 percent non-Hispanic Whites, work within service occupations. 19 percent of Hispanics in comparison to 40 percent of Whites work in managerial or professional occupations. Among full-time year-round workers in 2010, the average Hispanic/Latio family median income was $40,165 in comparison to $54,168 for non-Hispanic White families. In 2010, the U.S. Census bureau reported that 24.8 percent of Hispanics in comparison to 10.6 percent of non-Hispanic Whites were living at the poverty level.
Insurance Coverage: It is significant to note that Hispanics have the highest uninsured rates of any racial or ethnic group within the United States. In 2009 the Census Bureau reported that private insurance coverage among Hispanic subgroups varied as follows: 39.6 percent of Mexicans, 51.6 percent of Puerto Ricans, 51.6 percent of Cubans, 46.4 percent of other Hispanic and Latino groups. Public health coverage varied among Hispanic subgroups: 30.3 percent of Mexicans, 39.8 percent of Puerto Ricans, 31.6 of Cubans, and 26.8 percent of other Hispanic or Latino groups. Those without health insurance coverage varied among Hispanic subgroups: 33.6 percent of Mexicans, 14.9 percent of Puerto Ricans, 23 percent of Cubans and 42.4 percent of Central Americans. In 2010, 30.7 percent of the Hispanic population was not covered by health insurance, as compared to 11.7 percent of the non-Hispanic White population.

Health: Hispanic health is often shaped by factors such as language/cultural barriers, lack of access to preventive care, and the lack of health insurance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has cited some of the leading causes of illness and death among Hispanics, which include heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries (accidents), stroke, and diabetes. Some other health conditions and risk factors that significantly affect Hispanics are: asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, HIV/AIDS, obesity, suicide, and liver disease.
Other Health Concerns: Hispanics have higher rates of obesity than non-Hispanic Caucasians. There are also disparities among Hispanic subgroups. For instance, while the rate of low birth weight infants is lower for the total Hispanic population in comparison to non-Hispanic Caucasians, Puerto Ricans have a low birth weight rate that is 60 percent higher than the rate for non-Hispanic Caucasians. Also Puerto Ricans also suffer disproportionately from asthma, HIVAIDS and infant mortality. Mexican-Americans suffer disproportionately from diabetes.

If you don't like soup on the chunkier side, there's also directions available for a puree. 1 / 14 Broccoli White Bean What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Broccoli and cheese soup is not tailored for a vegan diet, but this broccoli white bean variety is a tasty alternative. It's warm, filling, smooth, and loaded with vegetables. 2 / 14 Split Pea Sweet Potato What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While split pea soup typically uses ham hocks to add flavor, this vegan split pea takes a twist by omitting the meat and adding celery and sweet potatoes for some substance in its place. 3 / 14 Curry Cauliflower What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Low-calorie curry cauliflower soup is an inventive way to make use of this healthy cruciferous vegetable that's been linked to improving breast cancer survival rates. 4 / 14 Ginger Carrot What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Even if you're not committing to a full detox plan to Spring-clean your system, a bowl of ginger-carrot detox soup is high in vitamin A, vitamin C, and manganese, which helps to aid in digestion. Dollop on plain soy yogurt to add smooth creaminess. 6 / 14 White Bean Pesto What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Potatoes and beans add bulk, while carrots and rainbow chard bring color to this hearty white bean pesto soup.

There's also the creative addition of chia seeds for a little extra fiber power. 8 / 14 Coconut Curry What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Make the most of this Winter squash before it's too late. Creamy curried coconut squash soup amps up the flavor profile with healthy spices like tumeric, cumin, and coriander. 9 / 14 Creamy Mushroom What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free velvety cream of mushroom soup is possible!

Mental Health Awareness Month Launches in Detroit
with Unprecedented Cross-Sector Dialogue and Campaign
"Breaking the Silence…Shattering the Myths"
Limited Seating Still Available
Detroit, MI – With one in five Americans struggling with mental illness at sometime in their lives, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, one of the area's oldest community mental health organizations, Detroit Central City Community Mental Health, is bringing together elected officials and media with clients and healthcare, community and business leaders to have a candid discussion about the common cause of mental illness and community mental health. Mental Health Awareness Month will launch in Detroit with an unprecedented cross-sector leadership dialogue led by Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley, Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon and Detroit Central City Community Mental Health President & CEO Irva-Faber Bermudez on Wednesday, May 4, 2011 from 6pm – 8:30pm. Simultaneously, a 30-second public service announcement featuring Napoloen, Faber-Bermudez, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, Detroit Police Chief Ralph L. Godbee, Jr., Henry Ford Health System President and CEO Nancy Schlichting and Bishop Edgar L. Vann will air on several TV and cable channels. The PSA is designed to celebrate Detroit Central City's 40 years of unwavering service, while bringing awareness and encouraging people to seek help for mental illness. "We shouldn't have to wait for high profile examples of mental illness, left unchecked and untreated, to have a discussion about mental health and wellness. The dialogue and campaign are designed to bring awareness of the growing demand for mental health services, encourage people to seek help, and not feel ashamed to do so," said Irva Faber-Bermudez.
Located in the heart of Midtown Detroit, the dialogue will include discussion about "healthcare and the fact that there is no health without mental health," said Schlichting, Detroit Central City's 2010 mental health hero award recipient. Participants will also discuss how mental health and wellness plays a leading role in the 15 x 15 movement to bring 15,000 new residents to Midtown by 2015; how law enforcement, legislators, businesses, non-profit organizations, practitioners and healthcare officials bonds can be strengthened to positively affect mental health and wellness; how the media plays a crucial role in erasing the stigma; and how innovative collaborations are working to serve all who seek help. Participants, to date, include: Lt. Governor Brian Calley; Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon; Detroit Deputy Mayor Saul Green; Detroit Police Chief Ralph Godbee; Judge Timothy Kenny of the Wayne County Third Circuit Court; Dr. Valerie Parisi, Dean of the Wayne State University School of Medicine; Dr. Yvonne Anthony, Director of the City of Detroit Health and Wellness Promotion; Dr. Robert Lagrou of Henry Ford Health System; Tamela Aikens of the Michigan Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative; Giancarlo Guzman of United Way of Southeast Michigan; Bishop Edgar L. Vann of Second Ebenezer Church; Marc Scheuer, Vice President of Comerica Bank; Dr. Alireza Amirsadri, Chief of Psychiatry at Detroit Receiving Hospital; Jeff Gerritt, Editorial Writer of the Detroit Free Press Editorial Board; Jay Greene, Senior Healthcare Reporter for Crain's Detroit Business, and many others. Ron Savage of Fox 2 will serve as moderator.
Participation is based on advance registration and a limited number of seats are still available. To participate, please contact Sharon Common at Detroit Central City, 313.833.4610 or Peggy Goodwin of The Goodwin Co. at 313.556.2020 or cellular 248.376.0390.

SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Byron Glotzbach
SPOTLIGHT ON SPEED: Byron Glotzbach
When Topekan Byron Glotzbach takes the track in Heartland Park Topeka's Saturday Showdown dirt track series, he has more in mind than just trying to beat his competition in the Pure Stock class.
Racing is also one of the ways that Glotzbach and his wife, Sandy, deal with the cancer that has stricken Sandy twice over the past five years.
Instead of sitting at home and dwelling on the disease, Sandy is Byron's regular companion at the track, enjoying life and racing.
Byron Glotzbach has a message inscribed to Sandy on the back fender of his No. 59 and he dedicates everything he does on the track to his wife.
"This is my second year of racing in my life and it started for one reason,'' Byron said. "I wouldn't be doing this, but it's for what's on the side (of the car).
"In '08 she was a stage four liver cancer survivor and now it's back in her lungs. I'm doing this just to keep her happy, and she's doing really well. She's out here and she helps me strap in and everything.''
Byron Glotzbach notices a definite upswing in Sandy's attitude when she's at the race track, which spurs him on.
"She's happy,'' he said. "When you get cancer it's hard to keep your attitude up and this and that. Saturday nights we're out here because ever since she had her cancer in '08 she'd come out and be happy every night. That's what I'm out here for. It's actually for her.''
Byron has done his part on the track to keep Sandy smiling, dominating the Pure Stock division in recent weeks.
Last Saturday's feature victory, his second straight, vaulted Glotzbach into the season points lead for the first time this season.
Glotzbach, who put the number 59 on his car because that's how old he was when he started racing, will take a 12-point advantage over fellow Topekan Tyler Garst into this week's race.
"I'm pretty happy with what's going on,'' Glotzbach said. "I'm getting used to the track which is the main thing.''
Glotzbach is also enjoying being part of a Pure Stock class that is drawing more and more cars all the time.
"I started this because there were only seven or eight cars in the class two years ago,'' he said. "We averaged 17 last year and we're averaging 21 this year. It's a good challenging class and these Pure Stock guys, they're all wonderful people and they're a lot of fun to be around.
"Yeah, we all have our ups and downs, but you know, everybody's got that, even at home.''
The Pure Stock division was the only class to get its feature completed last week before the program was rained out. The Modified, B Mod and Stock Car divisions will all run double features this week.
Spectator gates will open at 5 p.m. Saturday, with hot laps at 6:15 and racing at 7 o'clock.

This course takes the marriage and family model of understanding people and relationships and applies it to specific behavioural and relational issues, with a concentration on those issues related to working with families.

This survey course looks at a variety of current approaches to counselling and psychotherapy. It includes an extensive survey of systemic approaches, including the influence of postmodern ideas on this work.

This course offers a study of the dynamics of the premarital relationship and of the tools available for premarital counselling and post-marital follow-up. This includes gender issues, human sexuality, communication, conflict resolution, treatment of the wedding ceremony, the pastor's role, and special circumstance marriages.
This course provides a look at group-focused counselling ministries from a number of perspectives. It incorporates a "reflecting team" approach to working within groups. The principles studied in this course are applicable to establishing support groups, therapy groups, or simply leading a better Bible study.
This course will evaluate contemporary models of forgiveness and reconciliation from both a theological and counseling perspective. A Gospel-centered model of forgiveness and reconciliation will be presented out of which practices of forgiveness and reconciliation can be explored. Issues to be considered may include, but are not be limited to: the semantics of forgiveness and reconciliation; systemic and corporate dynamics of forgiveness and reconciliation; the problem of unrepentance; forgiveness and memory; forgiveness and reconciliation in non-ecclesial/non-Christian contexts; and the role of the local church in fostering forgiveness and reconciliation.

Brooklyn >Food & Dining > Buckley's Bar & Restaurant
2926 Ave S, Brooklyn, NY | Directions 1122940.604910 -73.942917
Mon. - Fri. 12am - 10pm;Sat. 12am - 11pm;Sun. 12am - 9pm
Neighborhoods: Sheepshead Bay
A meat-and-potatoes comfort food spot in deep Brooklyn, Buckley's isn't the kind of place you make a special trip to visit; it's the kind of place you go on a cold random weeknight. (Or wish you could.)
At Home Feeling – I love Buckley's. My husband and I have attended many special occasions here and we have not been disappointed! The food is delicious, service is good, reasonable prices, and it has a wonderful atmosphere!
The person who organizes and runs all of the special events does a wonderful job! She is always friendly and professional and NEVER disappoints. All events; weddings, showers, christenings, & engagement parties have always turned out beautiful!
So So Service and Quality has gotten worse. – We've been going to this long standing neighborhood joint for years. Always decent food at good prices. Sometimes you have to wait a bit as it is busy a lot of times. Some great servers and some sluggish servers are, I guess, the norm.
The last visit was by far the worst of all time for me. Two out of three entree's were severely overcooked. The drinks were empty and the server never came back into the dining room after delivering the entrees. The guest with the perfectly cooked dinner cleaned her plate while the other guest barely touched hers. I didnt touch my dinner at all, it was that bad.
It took almost 20 minutes before a busboy happened to pass by and we asked him to find our waiter. (no one else was in the room for this entire period). The server came in, finally, and asked if we wanted the manager.
The manager was gracious enough to offer a replacement entree, but the point was moot. The other two guests were already done with their dinner and I felt the time had long passed to be offering me a fresh dinner. I felt that the manager could have been a bit more concerned about making things right, however, this was not the case.
Overcooked food happens. That mistake can be easily corrected. Of course, if the server does not check on a table after dropping off the entrees, again, its a moot point. Theres no chance to correct a problem, or perhaps refresh the empty beverages, etc. So make that two mistakes. Then, lastly, the absense of a genuine gesture from the managament looks a lot to me like strike three. (all in one night, pretty bad.)
This establishment has a long tried and true following, including myself. More and more I hear stories such as my own, and I wonder just how much longer this neighborhood icon can remain viable if they refuse to take a good hard look at some of the regular shortcomings that are becoming a bit too regular. Wake up guys, and return the restaurant to its past glory as a great place to eat really good food, and great service.... all at reasonable prices.
Nothing Special – I've been dragged to this restaurant several times through the years and not once have I been completely satisfied. They bring a big loaf of bread out and you're expected to cut it yourself - would it kill them to actually do his in the kitchen and serve it in a bread basket. I ordered the roast beef with rice pilaf and broccoli. The beef was cut so thinly that I thought it might be from the deli and the broccoli was just two very small florets mounted on two very long, tough stems.
The service, on this occasion, was ok and business-like. This place has been around too long.
Ok and Has the Potential to be Much Better – This is a meat and potatoes restaurant. They are one of the few family restaurants in this area of Brooklyn. For this reason, I think they have become lazy. They have a very good business. It has been crowded every time I have gone there. The problem is that they do not try very hard. Some may work hard but not smart...
there are a lot of inconsistencies... sometimes, the food is excellent, sometimes it is mediocre, sometimes the service is awful, sometimes it is great. It is like a guess how long you might wait for food.
I would like to see the owners and managers just push for a better experience... be more creative, provide consistent quality food and service. You can go from ok to great in a few steps!!!!
Great Neighborhood Staple – My family has been going to Buckley's for about 20 years now. It's very much a local/neighborhood spot that can always be counted on for a good, well-priced brunch, and filling dinner. If you are looking for frills, this is not your place. If you're looking for a casual meal, definitely a good choice.
Ughh! – Where do I start? I have been to this resturant many times, but after my dinner experience on Friday night, I will not be returning. My family and I (4 people) had reservations for 6pm on a Wednesday. We specifically said "BY THE FIREPLACE". Unfortuantly, we did not get anywhere near there when seated. The server gave our table away and than stuck us in the corner of the resturant. We waited 10 minutes to get simples glasses of water and then we ordered, and it took 45 minutes to make clams and scallops. When the food came, it was cold and terrible. The scallops were just bad, but the clams were awfully terrible. When our entrees came out, I was extremely displeased. I ordered the broiled chicken and they didn't even give me a knife! My mother's baked potato was ice cold and when she sent it back, they popped it in the microwave for 10 seconds and pulled it out. My chicken was bloody and chewy, and my corn was too sweet. The only delicous item was their french fires, but then again, how hard is it to make some fries? The bill was way too expensive and when I got home, one of my family members got sick from the food. SKIP IT!
Down South Eats – My husband walked into Buckley's to register him and I for the annual Buckley-Kennedy Run a couple of days ago and was so upset by the treatment he received. Apparently the three staff members behind the bar were too busy watching T.V. to even acknowledge his presence. After standing around for over ten minutes another staff member walked out from the back and assisted, when my husband asked how to register for the run he was pointed in the direction of original three behind the bar that finally offered him a, "Come back tomorrow".
How disappointing that in Brooklyn, in 2008 that such racism can still be found.
I think we'll skip the food in this joint.
nothing special and very expensive – This place isn't horrible but it's nothing spectacular either. There aren't too many resturaunts in Marine Park so I understand why this place gets business. But I find that for the very high prices you're paying, the service is just so-so and expect to wait 30 minutes during busy times - even with a reservation. The food is just okay and the portions are small. I love steak and I would say theirs is average. Two people eating a dinner with appetizers and a drink or two each are looking at over $100 for their meal, and it's just not worth that kind of money.
Hooray for Meat – A real neighborhood place. Buckley's has great steaks and burgers and their fries are to die for!!! Plus they do so much for the community including the Buckley's to Kennedy's run every springl If you're down in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn stop in for a beer and a burger. You'll be glad you did!!!

The Weight-Loss Surgery Program at Children's National helps adolescents who are severely obese through surgical intervention coordinated with medical management in the IDEAL clinic, or in the patient's primary medical home. While diet and behavior changes can help some adolescents, many of these patients go on to become obese adults. The efficacy of diet and behavioral changes can be strengthened in some adolescents with surgical procedures. Weight loss through bariatric surgery is one way to treat severe obesity in adolescents by producing significant weight loss, correcting obesity-related medical conditions, and improving self-image
and socialization.
Children's National is the only pediatric program in the region performing weight-loss surgery.
Referral Guidelines for Children's Bariatric Surgery Program
To be considered for weight-loss surgery, patients must meet specific criteria. Patients who wish to undergo
weight-loss surgery must:
Have a BMI of at least 35 with an obesity-related comorbidity or greater than 40 without a comorbidity.
These criteria are the ones recommended by the NIH for adults.
Have a history of obesity for at least 3 years, including documented failed attempts at diet and
medical management of obesity.
Complete all clinically required laboratory and diagnostic tests.
Have confirmation from a psychologist or psychiatrist that he or she is sufficiently mature to comply
with the clinical protocol.
Complete follow-up visits during 3 years after surgery.
