We, the Children of Cats by Tomoyuki Hoshino, translated from the Japanese by Brian Bergstrom and Lucy Fraser and published by PM Press
This piece is Clark Allen, an artist living in New Orleans, LA who works as a book buyer at Maple Street Used and Rare Books.
I think cognizant persons, those who can see even an inch beyond their own arm's length, generally have some awareness of this massive oaf, the human condition, something vast and quite unnameable in any perfected sense. We are each individually imprisoned in the obvious confines of the self, an incredibly annoying facet of existence for all sorts of reasons, but primarily inasmuch that it creates a serious hindrance in universal communication when we try to define what we observe—love, art, beauty, humor, despair, this fat stupid thing that can't be seen but can be abstractly "felt," just out of reach of, of . . . oh, I don't know. The task of the artists, novelists and poets (so I've read) is to find it within themselves to converse with this condition, open a dialogue upon its table and share their perspective in a veritable pot luck of musing.
In Tomoyuki Hoshino's recently translated collection, We, the Children of Cats, the reader is invited to his end of the banquet. Five short stories and three novellas written in a span scattered across near ten years, with each tale sidestepping any particular categorization. Magically real, surreal, sometimes humorous, sometimes scary, and by all proper accounts just plain bizarre, the characters in Hoshino's stories each orbit one similar theme—the confrontation of something at once unnamable and all too human, and their (most often failed) attempts to transition beyond and transcend. To become something other than the self they perceive.
So how does this manifest in Hoshino's stories? Genital mutilation? Mysterious child-run death cults? First to third world relocation? Well yeah, those are some starts. It is a book which involves sex and privilege, murder and dance, betrayal and longing, drugging and starving all seamlessly. His characters are affected with such invisible problems that it is beyond their ability to contact a solution. Not that it is a hopeless collection of course, but the few who happily make their way to the other side seem merely lucky. More often the reader is drawn into a venn diagram of desires prescribed by multiple narrators that whorl and tangle, forced compatible merely by the fact that they are occupying the same landscape. It is a book populated with mystic sickness and confusion, its characters living strangely and often dying in their own way.
Such are the final words of the protagonist in the story "Paper Woman"
. . . there is no paper, no words that exist in a state of perfection, pristine and hidden from human eyes, such paper is not really paper at all . . .
And yet Hoshino still attempts to confront these human impossibilities. The barriers of perspective and language, how they bleed together and intermingle despite how often they are oil and water. Through his fiction he asks where we are meeting and how we are different, and what is it that can bring us all the closer? It is, in a sense, a collection of stories that serves as a perfect example of why we desire translation in the first place.

Take creative photos with the HTC One
One of my favorite features on the HTC One is its camera. Beyond the picture quality, which is great, HTC really went the extra mile to pack in a bunch of cool software extras.
Two of these extras that really caught my eye are called Sequence Shot and Zoe, and you can see them in action in the above video.
Using the Sequence Shot feature allows you to composite multiple images into one picture. The trick to this one is to hold still and fire off a bunch of snapshots by holding down the camera button. This will create a … Read more

Learn Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Cheese Curds
Cheese curd is yet another selection towards the continuously growing variety of cheese by-products. Before tasting this delectable food, let us first experience how it came to be as well as exactly why it's not going anywhere soon.
Cheese is believed to become identified simply by a mystery nomad. This kind of nomad were living in the centre Eastern as well as had been, as tale would point out, on his method to an extremely lengthy quest. He ready for it through putting in lots of whole milk in a saddlebag. Regrettably for him (and thankfully with regard to cheese-lovers on the market), the dairy curdled following hrs of riding in the sunshine. The thing that was allowed to be whole milk turned into white curds along with liquid!

Neighborhoods: Historic Ybor, Northeast
Good Sushi, Ok service – I love the sushi selection but price comparing, it's not the best for its price. However, the rolls they have there are very unique. It is good sushi. However, anytime it is busy the staff can't seem to cope with it. I reserved for a large group once (it was for a graduation party) and when we got there, they are angry at us needing three table even though we had reserved it and told them how many. At first, the refused!!! When they are not busy, the staff is nice but there should be no difference. I LOVE THE TUNA SUMMER FOR LOVERS ROLL!! I crave it so I keep going back. Oh, well.
best sushi – I celebrated a friend's birthday there on saturday. So glad she picked Samuraiblue! I love sushi! The fish was so fresh and the rolls were quite tasty. Yellowtail and uni were the best. I 've been eating there for three years now, still my favorite sushi spot. The oldsmar location is real convenient and has a clean, modern feel. Parking is much more easier.
NEVER AGAIN!!! CONSUMER BEWARE!!! – Where do I start. I made reservations this past saturday (Valentines). I knew it would be busy but my boyfriend and I love sushi and have been here before. We waited well over an hour past our reservation time. No one seemed to care. The hostesses tried their best. No manager in site. once we sat it took our server 15 - 20 minutes before she came over. She took our drink and food order all at once. We waited another 15 minutes until we got our drinks. Again no one seemed to care! Server was rather rude and very short with us but she was busy. After waiting almost an hour for our food it finally came. The rolls looked sloppy and thrown on the plate. Our tempura rolls and conch on the volcano were ice cold. Our server didn't care. We asked to speak to a manager and were told there was none, but the owner was there. We asked to see him but we were told NO!! What the f***. Absolutely the worst dining experience we have ever had. Not even close. They obviously don't care about the customer. We aren't the only ones that feel this way. I just hope more people come forward. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Great Restaurant – In town for a friends wedding and went for the bachelor dinner at Samurai. WOW!!! Very impressive. Great sushi. I eat sushi a few times a week in Atlanta, this place was one of my best meals. Fresh uni, salmon, and tuna. Order the Summer rolls. Great sake!
Worst Sushi Experience in my Life – We'd been to Samurai Blue several times, but after this most recent experience, we're never going back.
We got there, & they told us it would be a half hour wait. We said ok no big deal & sat on the sofa right behind the Hostess. After 40 minutes & watching them sit 2 couples that came in after us before us, we went up there & said, you told us a half hour, & you sat those people who came in after us before us. The lady told us 'you're not on the list,' to which we said, 'you said you put us on the list when we came in & we've been waiting here behind you for the past 40 minutes.' She didn't apologize, & just got us the next available table.
Our waiter was bad, but that's nothing new. In the middle of us ordering our food, he walked away. We never even got our appetizer.
We ordered the Ying Yang roll, eel roll, tokyo roll (tuna & yellowtail) & a spicy crunchy tuna roll, & 1 order of yellowtail. The yellowtail & tuna were bad. We took one bite & almost threw up. My date did end up sick there & we were both ill once we got home. We told our waiter this is horrible, we don't want it, we're sending it back. The supposed manager came over & told us 'the fish came in this morning, it's not bad, you just don't like it.' We said, 'that fish was bad, we don't want it.' She argued with us & finally walked off. We finished the eel rolls, but both of us felt ill. We asked for the check & they'd wanted us to pay for the 2 bad rolls & the yellowtail, & I refused. Finally they removed the 2 bad rolls & the nigiri. However, the manager was unconcerned with us being unhappy, & the waiter was unconcerned with his bad service.
The manager didn't even seem willing to consider the fact that the yellowtail seemed dried out, had a film over it. I don't care if the food came in that morning, if it wasn't chilled or prepared properly, that could account for the food being bad. When we asked if the manager had tried the food, she said, well, no. But she wasn't willing to.
Completely OVERRATED!! If you are a true Sushi lover go elsewhere! – After all the hoopla I've heard about how good Samurai Blue is I decided to check it out. To my disappointment it was the WORST sushi experience I have ever had. It started with the service and ended with the lack of innovation and taste of the product itself. The online menu is fairly impressive; too bad half the items listed are no longer being served. The Sushi/Sashimi Dinner (chefs choice) for $19.95 consisted of a sub par California Roll and chunks ( yes chunks people!) of tuna , salmon, shrimp, and imitation crab nigiri thrown over shredded cabbage and carrots (salad heh). The sushi itself was so overpowered by the scent of lemon one could only question how fresh the product actually was. I have never had fish that tasted or smelled that fishy unless it came out of a can. If you aren't a sushi fan and wanted to try one of the dinners offered stay away from the Tokyo Styled Spare Ribs ($16.95) unless you enjoy chewing on raw hide! The dining area itself is tastefully done (probably to mask the garbage that they serve).
If you are in the Ybor area I would recommend Sushi Raw on 7th Ave.
I must say Samurai is ok at best. I live in westchase and much prefer Zen Bistro. My girlfriends and I prefer the quality service and one thing seperates Zen and Samurai and it is the owner or i think he is the owner at Zen. His name is Kevin, how do i know this because unlike samurai he is always out front talking to tables and helping out, it is obvious he operates a quality place and cares. I have never seen a manager at samurai. Lastly we like martinis and Samurai has no bar atmosphere at all, kevin has turned us on to several "wow" martinis at Zen and it is those touches we like. Not bashing but....
Good time to be had – I must say I was impressed by this place, seeing as how it was the first restaurant I went to after moving to Tampa. I would go as far as to say that it has the best I've ever had, but the sushi was darn good. I just wish they had uni and toro (two favorites) when I went. Otherwise, the food was good. My only other complaint is that they label themselves as a "sake bar," their selection was a little lacking. For the money I spent, it was a great experience and I'll definitely go back. Excellent value!
Best sushi "In-Town" – This was probably one of the top 3 meals that I have ever enjoyed. The presentation of the rolls was excellent and the flavors were unbelievable. The service was excellent and helped to make for a great evening. The red devil roll and the volcano roll were the best. When we were leaving the only problem of the evening was encountered when we had to wait 15 minutes to get our vehicle back at the valet stand. Highly recommended.
OK.. I'M ON THE SAMURAI BLUE BANDWAGON! – Excellent fresh, well-prepared and tasty sushi. Highly recommend this unique sushi restaurant! Excellent experience!

This amazing inventory -- 50 years in the making -- includes all the best vintages (1959, 1961, 1982, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2009 and more) of all great chateaux of Bordeaux and Burgundy and many others.
Other notable inclusions are more than 100 vintages of Chateau Latour (1863 to 2009), many in large format, as well as deep, vertical selections of Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Haut Brion, Lafite, Margaux, Mouton, Petrus, and others … nearly all of which extend more than half a century. Many rare bottles such as Le Pin and Lafleur also populate the wine cellar.
Beyond Bordeaux, Rhone, and Burgundy are represented with hundreds of labels -- including verticals of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti; single-vineyards from Guigal's La Mouline, La Landonne, and La Turque; Chapoutier's Le Meal, Le Pavillon, and L'Ermite; and Jaboulet's La Chapelle. California is equally represented with verticals of Beaulieu, Georges de Latour, Private Reserve from 1960 to 2002; Opus One for more than two decades; Heitz Martha's Vineyard and Chateau Montelena for nearly three decades; and multiple vintages of Harlan, Screaming Eagle, Araujo, Bryant, Dalla Valle, and other sought-after California wines.
Italy is respected and represented with multiple vintages of Bruno Giacosa, Roberto Voerzio, Paolo Scavino, and other Barolo producers; an extensive selection of Super-Tuscans; and Gaja's outstanding wines from his Piedmont and Tuscan vineyards.

It's one thing to share what we've learned, particularly by posting quotes from various Buddhas, Masters, Adepts, etc....
However when it comes to giving our opinions on teachings, and even on things like current events, contemporary trends, politics, etc.; is it even worthwhile, considering that posts here that don't fit the status-quo often get deleted anyway?
Some posters are even Buddhist fundamentalists here... (which is opposed to the essence of the following quote:)
Chögyal Namkhai Norbu quoting Shantideva wrote:There is nothing that the offspring of the Victorious Ones do not learn, there is nothing that does not produce merits for the wise who act in accord with this principle.
...yet at the same time posters here often try to undermine Vajrayana & Dzogchen and do everything they can to uphold the status-quo of the modernist-corporatist establishment (and thereby fall into either one of two (or both) extremes: an antiquated Hinayana-style ultra-conservatism, or a modernist-materialist libertinism).
Perhaps many or even most of us—including myself—ought to reevaluate our reasons for posting...
Atisha and Geshe Tenzin Zopa wrote:All Buddhas say the cause for the completion
Of collections, whose nature is
Merit and exalted wisdom
Is the development of higher perception.
Training oneself to develop the training in the Method teachings through cultivating Bodhicitta and training in Wisdom through developing one's understanding and realisation of emptiness (i.e. the selflessness of person and of phenomena), are the two main causes which will lead us to gain higher perception in order for us to benefit sentient beings. "Higher perception" refers to clairvoyance, which is needed to benefit sentient beings properly. This is important in order for us to understand the different mental dispositions of sentient beings. If someone is not matured enough to receive emptiness teachings and we give them emptiness teachings, we could cause them to develop wrong view and create the causes for hell; but if they are ready for emptiness and tantra and you focus only on giving the small capability-being teachings, you could distract them from the Mahayana and lead them to the Hinayana path, which incurs heavy karma.
Khunu Lama Rinpoche wrote:One thing that really helps us complete these two collections is the ability to foresee the future; therefore, we should try to acquire clairvoyance. Without it, we are like a baby bird whose wings are undeveloped and has not yet grown feathers and remains stuck in its nest, unable to fly. Without clairvoyance, we cannot work for other sentient beings.
...and, instead of spending so much time online, attend to our own studies and practices more (with the following in mind, particularly if we are Dzogchen practitioners or aspiring ones).
Vajranatha on Commentary to the Bönpo Book of the Dead wrote:...the Trikaya having come into manifestation in this self-arising fashion, they now come to accomplish the benefits of countless beings. Unlike the practice of Tantra, where this transformation of one's total being and environment into pure vision requires the deliberate effort of the mind in terms of visualization, mantra recitation, and so on, here in Dzogchen the transformation occurs as vision, naturally and spontaneously, without effort. In this way, Dzogchen realizes the ultimate goal of Tantra. One may now accomplish the welfare and instruction of all sentient beings, spontaneously and without effort, by simply being, that is to say, by manifesting one's enlightened nature through spontaneously emanating an infinity of Nirmanakaya manifestations. This occurs naturally, effortlessly, and spontaneously, without discursive thoughts, as the free expression of one's inherent energy or compassion, like the sun radiating countless rays of light into the clear open sky, thereby illuminating the entire surface of the earth.
I've noticed that many—including myself—here spend a lot of time posting our opinions and trying to condition others into our way of thinking; yet as Chögyal Namkhai Norbu often says, this is all ego.
This will most likely be my last post here, at least for a while (although I may or may not reply a couple more times within this particular thread).

Robert E. Lee took up arms against the government of the United States. He, along with every other rebel who took up arms against the United States, were traitors and as such should have been hung at the end of hostilities.
To honor a traitor who killed U.S. soldiers is an insult to every man and woman who has ever served in the U.S. military.

The win was nothing short of a miracle as Jacksonville, losing game one 25-18 and game two 25-14, found something within to come back and win game three 25-18, a wild game four 34-32 and then finally game five 15-12.
Jacksonville head coach David Clark, who has taken his teams to the Elite Eight 16 of his 20 years, said that he feels it was seniors Katie Neisler and Breanna Hosch and junior Blessing Dunn who helped spark the comeback. "Between games two and three, these three kids right here," said Clark of the girls, "took it upon themselves. It was out of my hands at that point."
Enough can't be said of the fight and determination shown by the Lady Eagles. For seven seniors the win was definitely the way they wanted to finish up their volleyball careers at JHS. While it was absolutely a team win, the effort was sparked by senior Katie Neisler.
Neisler, who finished the final match with 24 kills, five blocks and five digs, and was named tournament MVP, was the only daughter in the Neisler family who had not won a state ring as sisters Elizabeth and Caroline had both won rings when the team won back to back state championships in 2007-2008. Katie will now proudly wear a state ring on her finger.
At the beginning of the season Katie had talked about how this year's team needed to make history of their own. "We have always looked up to the older girls," said Katie. "Those girls were amazing. They have state rings. We want to live up to that legacy. We want to be like that. We're trying to come back with a legacy of our own."
This year's volleyball team has certainly done that, and more. Teams from here on out will look to the 2013 volleyball team as the pinnacle of what can be achieved when a team doesn't give up and keeps on fighting.
Guntersville, who had beaten the Lady Eagles twice before during the season, most recently the week before at the Super Regional championship game, came out on the court all smiles, with a knowledge that they had the upper hand. Jacksonville's girls had on their game faces, not a lot of smiles. After two relatively easy wins Guntersville was almost giddy on the court, and went to work in game three sensing a championship would come their way.
Clark said, "Before we went out for game three I said, "your career is right here, whatever we do from this point forward you will have to fight for."
With the score tied at 8-8, Jacksonville took the next three points, only to see Guntersville come back to tie it up at 11-11. That's the last time the score would be tied as Jacksonville went on to win the game 25-18.
Spectators could see the change in Jacksonville. Facing elimination, Neisler seemed to be everywhere on the court, with kills that came down so hard they seemed to have an exclamation point attached to them.
"I went to each of the girls and said we need to take control and put this away," said Neisler.
Game four was as nerve racking and nail biting as any game has ever been. Guntersville jumped ahead 10-2, and a win certainly seemed on the horizon for the Lady Wildcats. Jacksonville began clawing back and suddenly the Lady Eagles had gone on a 12-5 run and were within one, at 15-14.
The score was tied at 17, and then five other times until a kill by Neisler tied the game at 24-24. Every time Jacksonville took the lead, Guntersville would tie it up. When Guntersville took the lead, the Lady Eagles would bounce back. The game was tied six times and changed hands five times after reaching 25 points until the Lady Eagles pulled the game out at 34-32.
Not enough can be said for the girls on the court, Neisler, Hosch, Dunn, Halee Stallings, Tamaria Mays, Mallory Patterson, Ashley Clingan, Ariel Diaz, and Courtney Bowden for the way they played. They left it all on the court, diving for every ball, going up to attempt blocks, smashing down kills.
On the bench with support and encouragement were Ashton Gaddy, Amber Quinn, Kristen Aguilar and Darrien Martin.
Suddenly it was Jacksonville that was all smiles, and Guntersville showed concern, knowing that momentum had switched to the Lady Eagles.
Guntersville jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the deciding game five before Jacksonville came back to go up 10-6 and then had their largest lead at 12-7 before winning the match and the state title at 15-12.
An elated Clark said after the match that he felt if the team could just get to game five that they could take it.
"There wasn't anything magical volleyball wise. I just told the girls that we were getting outplayed and making way too many errors. They knew what was going on. We talked about one point, one step at a time, just playing every ball.
"To pick ourselves up and claw and scratch and fight and step up and not accepting that loss, that was all about character," said Clark. "I had told the girls that it wasn't about volleyball right now but about putting one foot in front of the other. To have a team respond that way can make a coach just feel tremendous."
After the game Neisler said she was, "overwhelmed. I don't know how to explain it, I can't describe how happy I am."
Katie, who lost her older sister Caroline in May to leukemia, said that she felt her sister was there with her the whole time at the game. "She was my role model," said Katie. Nicknamed "Scrappy", Caroline couldn't have been more proud of how scrappy her younger sister had played, inspiring the rest of the team to play the same way.
Jacksonville had reached the finals by beating UMS Wright 25-13, 25-14 and 25-20 in the quarterfinals and St. James, 26-24, 25-16, 22-25 and 28-26.
Blessing Dunn, a junior who also made the all-tournament team, had 21 kills against St. James. A transfer from Sacred Heart, Dunn experienced her first Elite Eight. "This has been a lot different than any other tournament," said Dunn. "The excitement at this level plays a big part in it. It means a lot to be down here to know that all of our hard work has paid off. I'm just blessed."
From here on out, girls playing volleyball at Jacksonville will have this group of girls to look up to, to pattern their play after. The 2013 Lady Eagles state volleyball champions have left a legacy of their own.

111 W Crockett St, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7820529.425241 -98.489094
Neighborhoods: Central San Antonio, Downtown
I have been to this river-walk location many many times, and each time I am always pleased with the food. My boyfriend gets a chicken dish with the most moist and delicious chicken I've ever tasted, and I get a gnocchi dish in alfredo sauce that is so perfectly cooked it's one of my favorite Italian dishes I've ever had. It's a very cute, romantic restaurant on the river-walk, my only complaint would be the service. The waiters and waitresses aren't usually the nicest or friendliest, but I don't go there for the service I go there for the food. And every single time, the food has blown me away. I highly recommend going here if you are going to be on the river-walk and craving a delicious Italian dinner!
Go to Basse or 1604 for a real Paesano's Experience – I went to the river walk location with my husband for our anniversary and was extremely disappointment. The best part about the meal was my crown and seven and the breaded artichoke hearts. The bread was terrible and we were told that they have different chefs and the chef's take their own liberties. If I'm going to spend the money at Paesano's I expect that I will get the same meal regardless of which one I go to. If the shrimp Paesano's wasn't as good. I recommend that if you want a real Paesano's experience, go to Basse or 1604.
A new experience & new favorite! – This was our first time & we loved it! Lobster bisque was awesome, if a bit salty. My shrimp Alfredo was delicious & hot from the oven/stove. My husband fell in love with his Penne Gorgonzola! Word of advice: share a dish unless you like doggie bags. The bread loaves were yummy & plentiful. Very nice staff. Sister in law was enticed by the dessert menu but forgot to ask the price :$11. But she ate all the Key lime cheesecake , smothered with Apple Strudle , a la mode. Weird combo, but she ate all, complained about the taste, & got the dessert free. Patient waiter deserves a medal.
almost didn't make it in – We attempted to get in this restaurant on Xmas Eve and whoever the manager was taking names seemed extremely frazzled and said he was hoping not to take anybody after 9:00 - would be too late,,,,blah, blah, blah... Very confusing.
So the next afternoon (Xmas), we put our name down for a "wait" time - we were told no reservations and we left. When we showed up the same man as the night before told us 45 min to an hour and never looked at our name. We stepped to the side and another manager (who seemed to be more in charge and was very helpful and was helping all over the front of the restaurant) called our name 15 min. later and said he didn't know we were there, he just took a chance calling the name. We had a lovely seat and a wonderful meal. Linguine with creamy clam sauce (I've had all over Italian restaurants in Chicago) was excellent, pasta with gorgonzola sauce was Delicious!. Plain old spaghetti was almost like homemade, bread and olive oil were wonderful. Two other pasta dishes were great. The drinks were very good.
The downside was this man who was handling the front seatings. We saw him tell at least 10 parties how long a wait they would have (even though there were some empty tables) and they left.
Get someone else for that job and let everyone have a chance to taste that great food. Make sure you get a second person to help with seatings if you don't get in right away. It's worth the push.
Visit the other locations – The service was good, but the food was bland and overcooked. We love the food at the other Paesano's locations, but this one is mediocre at best.
Great food & service – When I walked in to the restaurant, the wait staff was very nice that he gave me a table away from a big group so I was sitted in a more quit area. They started me with bread with olive oil with pepper and salt. The waiter gave me very good recommendation on what to choose from the menu. Finally I chose 'Tuna stead with reduced balsamic sauce on top of veggie with lemon butter sauce. It was very delicious!! The food cost ~ $30 with tips. The waiter kept checking on me to make sure I have everything I want. I would go back again if I am in the neighbourhood.
Terrible lazy waiter – I thought food was ok. My wife had the signature Paesano shrimp dish which she did not enjoy. It was
tasteless. Robert our waiter needs to learn some manners. Robert on numerous occasions would come to our table with his hands full and ask if we could grab our own plates from him, instead of dropping them off himself. We had wine that he never poured for us. As far as I am concerned I will never visit this establishment again. If the restaurant had any sense, Robert should be fired on the spot.
Good service, good food, great atomsphere – Good service in a very cool Italian restaurant on the Riverwalk. Atmosphere is low-lit, romantic, bustling. Their house salad is outstanding. I ordered their baked meat ravioli which I found to be flavorful with a nice basil-tomato sauce. Excellent wine selection. Good service---attentive but not overbearing.
Doesnt Compare... – Go to the Basse location if you want good food. This place charges you $5 for a salad while it is included in the meal at the Basse location. The bread they give you is of cheap quality and they don't serve you olives the way they do at the original location. The Chicken Parmesan lacks flavor and the cheese is of poor taste compared to the original location. Service doesn't compare. Atmosphere doesn't compare. And they don't even carry Basse's signature dessert which is the glazed caramel apple slices. My girlfriend had the shrimp with the signature sauce and said it wasn't as good as the original place. This place is next to the Hard Rock Cafe, and with the food not being that good, deserves to be there. Avoid this tourist trap.

The Ministerial Declaration "Educating to Prevent" and young people in Latin America and the Caribbean
In 2008, ministers of health and education throughout Latin America and the Caribbean signed a historic commitment to prevent HIV/AIDS through comprehensive sexuality education. In this important ministerial declaration, governments recognized that "sexuality is an essential part of being human," and agreed to a number of targets to bolster access to comprehensive sexuality education and health services among youth. These targets include a 75% reduction in the number of schools that currently do not have institutionalized comprehensive sexuality education by 2015, as well as a 50% reduction of adolescents and young people who currently lack health care coverage to meet their sexual and reproductive health care needs.
While advances towards realizing the goals of the declaration have been made, many young people still lack access to the services and information they need to protect their health and rights. The urgency of addressing the sexual and reproductive health needs of young people is undeniable: in our region teen pregnancy occurs at an alarming rate, a high percentage of people who acquire HIV are young, and gender-based violence continues to be a huge problem. Three years after the historic declaration, we fear that the commitments made in 2008 do not go beyond the paper.
Commitments made in the declaration are quite specific, and this is precisely what makes the document so valuable: not only does it contain explicit recognition of fundamental issues for the welfare of young people, but it establishes specific actions needed to achieve their health and well-being.
At the close of the UN International Year of Youth, we demand that governments consider our needs, our experiences, and our ideas to further the aims of the Declaration. The decisions that governments make and the actions that they take will have a huge impact on the quality of life and future for millions of young people throughout the region.

To make an ethical decision, ask yourself these challenge questions.
"This is an industry of extreme perks," said author and speaker Hattie Hill, CEO of Hattie Hill Enterprises, during her breakout session at the Financial & Insurance Conference Planners Annual Conference in November 2010. "But," she continued, "when you do unethical things, it will get back to you."
Her session "Personal Ethics in a Corporate World," drew a full house of meeting planners and hospitality partners eager to discuss the nuances of their ethical challenges.
This is not a new conversation, but it is arguably more relevant than ever. "Desperate times have called for desperate measures," said one person in the audience, referring to efforts to stay afloat during the economic downturn.
A case in point was made earlier that day in the conference general session when FICP president Dan Young, CMP, of Thrivent Financial, chastised an unnamed hospitality partner for luring some planners away from the association's evening event with an exclusive invitation to a National Football League game. Participants at Hill's session agreed that this invitation was unethical, although likely not intentionally so.
In Hill's book, ethical behavior means doing the right thing, whether people know it or not. Her advice is to think about ethics as a line, and when you have an ethical dilemma, figure out if your decision would be over the line, under the line, or on the line.
For participants at the FICP seminar, one of the most animated discussions had to do with respecting boundaries between personal and professional relationships. For instance, a hotel representative said it is not uncommon for planners who bring big business to his property to ask for personal favors such as free accommodations for a family vacation.
To arrive at an ethical decision for any situation, whether personal or professional, we should listen to our personal ethics barometer, says Hill. We all have one, whether it be a gut feeling or, like Hill, asking, "What would my Mama say?" Then, answer the following "ethical challenge" questions:
1. Is this decision truthful?
2. Is this decision reasonable?
3. Does this decision obligate me? Is there an expectation?
4. Does this decision benefit all stakeholders?
5. Could I stand behind this decision if it went public? If it were on CNN or in a YouTube video, would I be comfortable with it?

Randy Shannon: Jacory Harris not expected to play against Virginia Techby Jorge Milian
Jacory Harris has yet to be cleared to practice in pads and is not expected to play this Saturday against Virginia Tech, UM coach Randy Shannon said Tuesday morning.
Freshman Stephen Morris will start his third consecutive game at quarterback.
Harris returned to practice last Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a concussion against Virginia on Oct. 30. He was not dressed in uniform and was limited to throwing drills.
If Harris returns to practice this week, he is unlikely to participate in any drills involving contact, Shannon said.
"He won't do much," Shannon said. "He may work with a helmet on but he won't be fully dressed."
Tight end Asante Cleveland, who missed last week's game against Georgia Tech because of a concussion, is "50-50" to play on Saturday.
Shannon said both Harris and Cleveland were being evaluated on Tuesday morning.
"It's a once a week deal," Shannon said. "They get tested, wait a week and the compare the results. It's a lot of different things. That's why we have to be careful."

Follicular Thyroid Cancer - Treatment
The thyroid is a brownish-red gland situated in the front of the neck. An isthmus, a cordlike tissue, connects its two lobes. Various thyroid conditions are prone to develop in the gland due to various reasons that include poor nutrition, genetics and hereditary factors, irradiation and age. Accumulation of a surplus mass or what is known as thyroid nodules are a common thyroid condition that may turn out to be malignant at times. The incidence of thyroid cancer is more common in those who have undergone X-Ray treatments in early life, suggesting increased susceptibility to damage from radiation exposure.
Follicle cells in the thyroid form sac-like structures that uptake iodine from the blood to produce thyroid hormones. The actual secretion of these hormones is done by the single layer of epithelial cells that surround thyroid follicles. Follicular thyroid carcinoma is one of the four types of thyroid cancer, which originates in these epithelial cells. It is also one of the two well-differentiated thyroid cancers and represents 10 to 20% of cancerous lesions.
A vast majority of follicular nodules are benign. However, there is a need to establish or rule out malignancy, as follicular thyroid cancer is aggressive and tends to metastasize to the lungs and lymphatic system. Diagnosis involves examination of thyroid tissue obtained for biopsy, because fine needle aspiration is unable to provide definite evidence of invasion in the follicles or blood vessels.
Surgery is not only the preferred choice, but the only option for treating this type of cancer. There are two types of thyroid surgeries: partial thyroidectomy (removal of one entire thyroid lobe) or total thyroidectomy. Total or near total excision of the thyroid gland is recommended considering the aggressive nature of follicular thyroid cancer. Although its success rates are a subject matter of controversy, the surgeon may opt for minimally invasive surgery if the nodule is small in size.
Regardless of the type of surgery, patients are almost always advised postoperative radioiodine ablation. Although long-term prognosis of follicular thyroid cancer is extremely good, patients are advised regular tests for checking recurrence of the disease. Studies suggest that ultrasound of the neck in conjunction with thyroglobulin as tumor marker gives better results in finding recurrence.

Following is the full text of the official Democratic response to Gov. Bob McDonnell's 2013 Satte of the Commonwealth address as delivered by House of Delegates Minority Leader David Toscano of Charlottesville:
"Good evening, I'm David Toscano, the Democratic Leader in the Virginia House of Delegates. It is a pleasure to be with you tonight to discuss our future as Virginians and as a Commonwealth.
Each year the first day of our legislative session is a chance to reflect on why the people of Virginia send us to Richmond to represent them.
They send us here, to Mr. Jefferson's Capitol, to make laws to protect the citizens of the Commonwealth and keep the playing field level for every Virginian.
They send us here to solve problems and meet the challenges that threaten to diminish our quality of life.
They send us here to make investments that promote economic growth, that fuel the engines of job creation and prepare the next generation of Virginians to compete in the global economy.
They send us here to work together to get things done.
And so, as we prepare to begin another session of the General Assembly, it's important to ask: how we can do a better job for the Virginians who we represent.
Our Commonwealth is now emerging from a very challenging recession, but too many Virginians still struggle to provide for their families and their future.
We need to create prosperity for all Virginians, and Democrats are committed to enacting the initiatives to unleash a new chapter of economic growth in every corner of this Commonwealth.
In his inaugural address and again this evening, Governor McDonnell spoke about his desire to build a "Commonwealth of Opportunity," --an important goal. He has suggested time and time again that we be laser-focused on the economy and stay away from the social issues that divide us.
We Democrats agree.
Yet, when you look at the last several years, we sometimes wonder if our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are listening.
Last year, Virginia's legislature became known for the fodder we provided to late night talk shows as the Republican majority passed several bills that injected government between a women and her doctor.
We cannot afford another session like last year, or we will see Virginia's ability to compete with other states decline. In 2012 Virginia lost its ranking as the best state in the country to do business because we neglected issues like roads and schools in favor of social issues.
It's time to focus on what's important.
What do we need to do to create a Commonwealth of Opportunity, and build an economy that works for all Virginians?
To build our economy we need to do 3 things.
We need to invest in education
We need to invest in our people

Topic review (newest first)
I suppose what I'm really saying is the word 'identically' is redundant in the sentence. So then I wonder, is it always redundant. So far, I think, yes. So I'm curious about whether a case exists where it isn't.
In math such an example, I think, doesn't exist. But, either way, the question is a bit ambiguous.
hi Stefy,
Hi Bob
Ok, thank you.
hi Al-Allo
and also eg.
If you google the two word phrase you'll get more examples.
Meanwhile, here's a challenge for members:
Find an example where you cannot leave out the word 'identically' without changing the meaning.
x-x is identically equal to 0 because it is 0 for any value of x.

NAPLES — QUESTION: I am an owner of a growing business. There are certain areas of the operation that are not producing a profit, but they are a compliment to our primary product. I would like to discontinue some of these ancillary services. How can I do this without risking the loss of business?
ANSWER: The first thing you do is survey your customers to see if the "ancillary services" are understood and appreciated. Value added services are not perceived as being valuable if your customers don't know what it is that you are doing for them.
Regrettably, in today's competitive environment, little else, other than price seems to matter to many consumers. Find out what is important in your relationship with the customer and then educate them as to the cost of the delivery system.
One customer may require special payment terms because their business is seasonal, while another may need faster turnaround on shipments.
Stress that, while you would like to continue to offer these services, it is no longer possible without an increase in the price of your product or service.
You could offer the option of a slight price reduction if they forego the ancillary services. The reduction, however, should be less than your cost to provide the services. You may be pleasantly surprised at their response.
Unless you occupy a unique niche in an underserved market, you need to be aware of your competition. If they are offering similar services, you may not have the luxury of changing your business model.
In the final analysis, you must determine if the savings gained from discontinuing the value added services outweighs the possible loss of customer goodwill.
