+ New restaurant features homey setting
Sarasota's gastronomic economy is certainly picking up. New restaurants are popping up, and some old favorites are moving.
CasAntica, owned and operated by Peter Migliaccio, who, with his, wife, Susan, started Siesta Key's Café Gabbiano, just opened at 1213 N. Palm Ave. in the Florida Studio Theatre section of town. Yes — it's the same site that served the now-defunct Jack's Steakhouse, Aria and, for a short period last year, Zwiwwel, a German restaurant. But Migliaccio is doing something different, and it should have staying power.
"The (restaurant) industry has lost the caring for people," he told us on the phone a few days before the recent grand opening. "That's the most important thing — that and the setting. That's what counts most."
Migliaccio cares by creating a warm, snug atmosphere with good food and special wines.
"We have boutique wines, bottles you can't get any place else," he says. "CasAntica can seat 56 inside and 40 outside. It's smaller than Café Gabbiano, but the kitchen is bigger."
"Intimate" is the best way to describe the restaurant.
"It's really an old house (that's what 'CasAntica' means)," he says. "It was two small bedrooms, a living room and a fireplace, and we've created a restaurant with cozy, small rooms.
"I've been in the industry for almost 44 years, and I know caring for people is what means the most."
CasAntica is open from 4 to 11 p.m. seven days a week.
+ Chef Lum is creating new 'tastes of Asia'
Chef Lam Lum, of Siesta Key's Taste of Asia, has made himself scarce recently because he's been out due to foot surgery. Now he's back, and he's added some fascinating delicacies to the already wide-ranging menu.
Not only does this inventive chef specialize in Laotian, Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, Lum has created vegetarian and gluten-free dishes. There's even a vegan menu.
If you look at the diversity of Lum's offerings, you'll find some dishes amply seasoned with a spicy sense of humor. From the "Lum-plings" (homemade steamed dumplings with chicken, pork or fish, cabbage, chives and sesame flavor with special soy sauce), to the "Chix on da Beach" (chicken breast breaded and fried, served with mixed veggie fried rice and choice of house sauce) and "Crazy Bull" (marinated beef short rib grilled with ginger, aniseed and cinnamon, coupled with mixed veggie fried rice), you know Lum's had a hand in everything.
Now the inside scoop: In summer 2013, Lum will be moving from the current location on Siesta to 4413 S. Tamiami Trail. Meanwhile, enjoy this creative menu at 5110 Ocean Blvd.
+ Beach Bistro named a top restaurant
Zagat once again named the Beach Bistro the No. 1 restaurant in Tampa Bay and the Florida Gulf Coast region. The restaurant received 28 out of 30 points for cuisine and 27 out of 30 points for service, landing it a top spot in Zagat's 2013 America's Top Restaurants Survey.
"For more than 27 years the Beach Bistro has been providing the very best locally sourced farm product, prime domestic meats and line-caught seafood," says Sean Murphy, Beach Bistro owner, in a prepared statement. "We also have one of the best chef teams in the country, an exceptional staff and loyal patrons who continue to visit us year after year."
The bistro, located at 6600 Gulf Drive, in Holmes Beach, is open at 5 p.m. daily.

hideaway village
Julia Heine
McInturff Architects carefully transformed two historic buildings into six rental units while creating precious—and unexpected—outdoor spaces.
Large glass openings, 10-foot-high ceilings, and exposed elements produce light-filled, relaxed interiors.
One of the architects' favorites, the middle unit (top) divides the courtyard to clear southern views toward Northern Virginia. A warm coat of zinc cladding protects the exteriors from the urban environment (above).
Rooftop volumes on the rear units enclose mechanicals and a cooling tower. The tower distributes chilled water to the six apartments and to the buildingÕs commercial and retail spaces (above and left).
McInturff Architects, Bethesda, Md.
Rooftop volumes on the rear units enclose mechanicals and a cooling tower. The tower distributes chilled water to the six apartments and to the building's commercial and retail spaces (above and left).
Tucked among the nearby storefronts, the bland entry door of 1247 Wisconsin Ave. in northwest Washington, D.C., shows no hint of the dramatic secret that lies on the other side. Bethesda, Md.-based McInturff Architects has deftly inserted six luxury rental apartments into two restored mid-19th century commercial buildings, creating what firm principal Mark McInturff, FAIA, calls a "rooftop village floating above the bustle of the city."
It's a bold project—one developer Eastbanc embraced, putting full faith and trust in McInturff's firm. "They gave us the freedom to do what we wanted," says McInturff, who has worked with the developer before. Freedom wasn't easy to extract from Georgetown's historic district, nor from the site itself, however. According to McInturff, the 46-foot-by-200-foot lot with 50-foot- and 80-foot-deep buildings imposed multiple constraints. "We knew we would have to preserve the existing historic buildings, but we also knew there was the potential for a hideaway village up top," he says.

To build this village, the firm extended the rear of the existing structures and inserted a new volume that creates a bisected courtyard. Ultimately, this new piece and the original four-story buildings morphed into five two-level apartments and one three-level unit. All have open floor plans and large windows and doors to bring in light. "We opened up the top floors to give them generous space and removed walls that didn't make sense for an apartment," says Peter Noonan, AIA, project architect and a firm principal.
The luxurious yet understated units are appointed with high-quality products, including Douglas fir windows, German-made kitchen cabinets and bath fixtures, and vertical-seam zinc exterior cladding. Eastbanc, McInturff explains, has a European point of view about design, stressing quality and refinement in the materials it specs. The company also appreciates energy efficiency and sustainable design, so the units have low-VOC paint, bamboo flooring, and efficient mechanical systems.
These sleek, high-tech elements are all hidden behind the buildings' preserved façade. (The architects even managed to slip five parking spaces at the rear.) The result is so effortless you'd hardly guess the project is the firm's first foray into multifamily design. "I have been spoiled," McInturff says of the project. "It was a joy and pleasure, and we are happy with it."

- All quotes should be in separate posts. Meaning one quote per post, to make feel like the 10 Commandments. Your quote can come from anything. Books, laws, the Bible, Anime, Manga, Comic Books, etc. The reason why I included laws and the Bible is because of some things especially anime and manga using some elements from these things, like X/1999 and Serial Experiments Lain for example.
- Keep it sophisticated. No funny quotes. Also make sure it actually sounds like a principle. (So a quote like this: "I am not the one at fault, the world is." doesn't count. Oh and cite the quote as well; this quote comes from Lelouch from Code Geass. Make sure that's under the quote in parentheses.)
- Quote should be one sentence only. Not a long explanation. (So Alphonse's Explanation here: "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth." Is also unacceptable as well.)
- As a follow up to the above, keep it short, plain and simple, not a long sentence. (So this part of Edward's explanation "You can't gain anything without losing something first although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal." is unacceptable.)
- No quotes in First Person.
- Lastly, the title of this thread is tentative and is in need of something that sounds better. Give me suggestions in parentheses as well.)
- EDIT: The template for posts in this thread should look like this:
Post Template wrote:"quote from the person, law, principle, etc."
- source of the quote
(Parentheses. This is here so that you can chat with other people while contributing.)

Ah, a title with a "who" in it. What or who is it about?
Easy answer. It's all about you.
Everybody who works for a software company, anybody who has anything to do with the sales process in Mentor Graphics knows it. The customer is paramount.
Know your customer facing orthodxy.
Q: Why are we here?
A: For our customers.
Q: What are you doing that for?
A: For a customer.
Q: Why is this feature on the product roadmap?
A: Er, Malachi Fluffball had a tantrum in the conference room when we dropped it out from the plans, yelling that eight important customers have asked for it so it is not the tantrum, but the customer demand which is the reason.
Q: What's the difference between a diamond and a platinum and a premium customer?
A: No such distinction. All customers are all crucial to our success. No favorites, none neglected.
And so on through the Capital Catechism. Our favorite word is customer, our favorite win, the favorite warm fuzzy feeling too is the customer's.
Who are these people? What do they look like? What do they care about?
Well, I'm glad those question came up, recently I have been attending some Trade Show events. Also not so recently have I been doing this – because my experience extends back about 15 years in this field now. So you think I would be pretty clear about who customers are, what they look like and how they do or do not conform to a profile?
Actually I am clear about it. However, and I am not going to tell you everything, because a pesky competitor might be looking over your shoulder and claim – 'oh yes, we knew that all along' – and then scribble some notes surreptitiously. But I will not be a thorough spoilsport.
Pictures of Customers
Here's one way I now like to answer the question "Who are my customers" at a conference event. Listening to them and getting to know what they are concerned about.
Trade shows are tremendous for the experience of networking, the meeting and discussing, exploring new trends, revisiting old productive themes in your business. Attendees, presenters, casual visitors to your booth – their comments and discussion points are all a proper subject fordata gathering and analysis. If you let the data speak for itself then you learn something. You learn something about the entirety of your customer base, their focus, their interests and culture and norms with these data sets.
Say you are visited by 500 people at an event. How can the 3-7 people including you who met and chatted to dozens of people every day pool their experience to capture some generalized lessons from customer interactions? It is not a straightforward matter to evolve a reliable method to make use of the expeience. If the group sits around a conference table and share notes and impressions a week later, that lacks objectivity, relies on sharpness of memory. And a week later I promise you that Mentor Graphics people who joined up, say there in Detroit for a trade show will be scattered to the four corners of the earth by the four winds blowing over the seven seas. Note: for those who like metrics you will notice these are not strict measurements. The point is Mentor Graphics is a multinational company and most people hop from one project to the next in a different time zone along with the customers who likewise operate globally.
An illustration of one thing you can do however is you can see what the job roles and titles of the people you talked with, were in your audience as you presented or gave you a business card. Year to year and event to event a swift analysis of this data tells you who the audience is now, what is important to them. If something is important enough to be in your job title then it is important to your professionally. This is the business card of the whole audience – the big set of potential customers, users of Mentor Graphics products and services.
It is not about me. Unless my job title is – "Automotive Lead Manager Embedded Electrical and Electronic Software and Systems, Controls and Programs." By the way if this is your job title, congratulations first on having a large brain to go with the workload and secondly congratulations on having plenty of Mentor Graphics' software products to choose from.
This is the meta-business card of another event. Yes, it is clear to me – "why I am here and to whom I am listening?." Correct, the customer.

Celiac disease is an immune disorder passed down through families.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, or sometimes oats. It may also be found in some medicines. When a person with celiac disease eats or drinks anything containing gluten, the immune system responds by damaging the lining of the intestinal tract. This affects the body's ability to absorb nutrients.
Carefully following a gluten-free diet helps prevent symptoms of the disease.
Gluten-free diet; Gluten sensitive enteropathy - diet; Celiac sprue - diet
To follow a gluten-free diet means, you need to avoid all foods, drinks, and medications made with gluten. This means not eating anything made with barley, rye, and wheat. All items made with all-purpose, white, or wheat flour are prohibited.
The gluten-free diet involves removing all foods, drinks, and medications made from gluten. This means not eating anything made with barley, rye, and wheat. All items made with all-purpose, white, or wheat flour are prohibited.
Obvious sources of gluten include:
Less obvious foods that must be eliminated include:
There is a risk of cross-contamination. Items that are naturally gluten-free may become contaminated if they are made on the same production line, or moved together in the same place, as foods containing gluten.
Eating at restaurants, work, school, and social gatherings can be challenging. Call ahead and plan. It is important to read labels before buying or eating, due to the widespread use of wheat and barley in foods.
Despite its challenges, maintaining a healthy, balanced diet is possible with education and planning.
Talk to a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease and the gluten-free diet to help you plan your diet.
You may also want to join a local support group . These groups can help people with celiac disease share practical advice on ingredients, baking, and ways to cope with this life-altering, lifelong disease.
Your doctor might have you take multivitamin and mineral or individual nutrient supplement to correct or prevent a deficiency.

It's created out of thin air, it's propped up by relentless marketing, the insiders cash in on the suckers, the suckers cannot even sue Suckonmi Ballsy or whatever his name is because he probably doesn't exist, and then we all laugh at you

On a recent trip to Japan I was surprised to find out how much their attitudes to smoking had changed. Cigarette prices have increased by over 30% in the last year and many public places now have smoking bans in force. For a country that has been renowned for its voracious attitude to smoking such a change in such a conservative culture is a bit of a shock. But as they say nowadays, "smoking is … Read More

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
After our 12-year-old dog's neutering and perianal adenoma surgical removal, we found out that one of the growths was a low-grade fibrosarcoma. Is more surgery usually required in these cases? What do you think about Carravet Acemannan Immunostimulant?
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
Acemannan has not proven to be an effective adjunct to the treatment of fibrosarcomas or other cancers in dogs and cats. For low-grade soft tissue sarcomas (such as fibrosarcomas, among others), complete surgical excision with adequate margins is the treatment of choice. Keep in mind that what is ?adequate? is determined by both the surgeon who removed the tumor and the pathologist who evaluated the surgical margins under the microscope. If there were inadequate surgical margins, a second wider surgery is recommended in an attempt to achieve negative margins. If additional surgery is not an option, radiation therapy to the area is the recommended treatment. For tumors that are treated appropriately, the recurrence rate is low (less than 10 to 20%). For tumors that are not treated appropriately, recurrence is very likely, but it can be somewhat difficult to predict how rapidly the tumor will recur, or how rapidly the recurrence will progress. Some tumors may grow quickly and recur within weeks to months and, while others might grow fairly slowly and not recur for a year or more.
Oct 20, 2011 - U.S. veterans are more likely than the general population to have a nicotine dependency, especially if they've struggled with other substances, mental illness, or homelessness, but VA services may be underestimating the scope of the problem, according to research published in the November issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Preventing Chronic Disease.

Kan. massage parlor employee staying in jail
Published on -9/12/2013, 7:07 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- A Wichita massage parlor employee accused in a sex trafficking scheme was ordered Wednesday to remain in federal custody pending trial.
Xiuqing Tian, of Framingham, Mass., waived her right to a detention hearing during a brief proceeding in federal court in Wichita. The government has recommended she remained jailed.
Her defense attorney, Kari Schmidt, told the court that her client has been unable to find a local residence.
"We certainly understand the recommendation and don't disagree with it," Schmidt told the judge.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen Humphreys entered a not guilty plea to three counts at the brief arraignment. Tian is charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to transport a person in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution.
Schmidt declined comment after the hearing on the allegations, saying she has not yet had time to meet at length with her client.
Tian, 42, is accused of conspiring to recruit women from around the country to come to Wichita to work at Asian massage parlors, then coercing them into prostitution. Also charged in the case are spa owner Gary H. Kidgell, 44, of Waltham, Mass., and his wife, Yan Zhang, 49, of Wichita. The conspiracy allegedly started in June 2009 and lasted until August 2011.
Authorities began investigating the massage parlors in 2010 after Wichita police detectives found Internet postings about sexual services available in Wichita. In September 2010, officials sent in undercover officers to the massage parlors. The officers paid for massages but were offered, and declined, sex acts for an added price, according to the affidavit.
Court documents indicate the defendants worked together and shared resources to operate nine massage parlors in Wichita: AG Spa, Sun Chi Spa, Dragon Spa, Eastern Massage, Oriental Massage, Phoenix Spa, Sunflower Massage, Massage 600, and Ocean Spa.
Trial has been set for Nov. 5.

The Kitchen Selectives Four Slice Toaster Oven is cheap and wont take up much counter space. It proved great at baking potatoes, but failed to impress otherwise. The unit doesn't toast bread evenly, the ovens exterior gets very hot to the touch during use, and the crumb tray isnt removable or convenient to empty. selectbrands.com.

Coming off the Senior Bowl, NFL teams are adjusting their thinking on prospects and looking forward to the Scouting Combine to continue the information gathering and adjustment process.Start Slideshow
In the third edition of Sporting News' mock draft, quarterbacks take back some of the punch, but offensive and defensive linemen still dominate. We shake up the selections, something you can expect to happen between now and April 25's first-round calls.
The Combine runs Feb. 20-26 in Indianapolis, with more than 300 draft-eligible players on display. In addition to on-field skill test, athleticism and muscle will be on display, and players' intelligence will be determined in the Wonderlic tests.
After that, players will show their wares in on-campus and private interviews. Personal interviews will also determine which players fit best with which teams.
And now, SN's Vinnie Iyer presents the top 32 players as we project they will be selected. Agree? Disagree? There's plenty of room for argument.
After first-round picks are made, the NFL will complete its 2013 Draft on April 27. Sporting News will be there, and will keep you in the know as pro football's future takes shape. -
Geno Smith, QB, West VirginiaNext
As much as the Chiefs want to take the best player available, it may be difficult to pass on a quarterback if they stay put. It's a glaring need, and it's not like Smith is much of a reach here. Tackle Luke Joeckel is the only real alternative. -
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida StateNext
Gus Bradley is a high-energy, defensive-minded coach, and he will want someone to provide the hustle and pop off the edge to awaken a dormant Jaguars pass rush. Looking down the road to Tallahassee, Werner would fit the bill in Jacksonville.
Star Lotulelei, DT, UtahNext
Lotulelei measures up inside and brings the upfield push necessary to give Oakland a huge pass-rush boost. Richard Seymour and Desmond Bryant, two of the tackles in the Raiders' rotation last year, are pending free agents.
Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&MNext
The Eagles will be happiest if former coach Andy Reid and the Chiefs decide not to select Joeckel. Philadelphia can go in many directions, but grabbing an elite left tackle for Chip Kelly makes a lot of sense. Joeckel is clearly the top offensive lineman in the class. -
Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&MNext
The Lions have the inside of their defensive line taken care of with Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley, but end is a concern with Cliff Avril a looming free agent who might be difficult to re-sign. Moore would thrive under Jim Schwartz. -
Barkevious Mingo, OLB, LSUNext
The Browns are going back to a 3-4 defense under Ray Horton, and they need impact players for that scheme. Enter Mingo, an explosive edge player who would also fill a big need at outside linebacker. -
Matt Barkley, QB, Southern CalNext
Bruce Arians is coming off a great immediate success story with Andrew Luck in Indianapolis. Barkley isn't the same level of prospect but shares key attributes, including smarts and a good work ethic. Arians is the right man to help Barkley make an effective jump.
Mike Glennon, QB, NC StateNext
The Bills hired Doug Marrone to be their coach, but that doesn't mean he will take his former Syracuse quarterback, Ryan Nassib, here. Glennon reminds many of the Falcons' Matt Ryan as an ACC prospect with a lanky frame and promising pro-style ability. -
Jarvis Jones, OLB, GeorgiaNext
Rex Ryan is desperate to upgrade his pass rush with a versatile, explosive player. His offense has a ton of issues, but Jones can be a special defensive playmaker. Ryan could use him well in a variety of ways.
Chance Warmack, G, AlabamaNext
The Titans must upgrade their interior offensive line, and there's little risk with Warmack, who is a mauler and big plus in the running game. If this is the pick, feature back Chris Johnson would be the happiest Titan of them all. -
Eric Fisher, T, Central MichiganNext
If the Chargers plan to do a lot more with Philip Rivers and the running game under the new combination of coach Mike McCoy and coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, they need a rock at left tackle. Fisher would be a no-brainer here. -
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, TennesseeNext
The Dolphins need a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver for second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill, whose favorite target in 2012 — Brian Hartline — is a free agent. Patterson is the best receiver prospect in the draft and could be the answer if the Dolphins don't go the free-agent route for a top wideout. -
Dee Milliner, CB, AlabamaNext
The Buccaneers had an exceptional run defense in the first season under Greg Schiano, thanks to upgrades at safety (Mark Barron) and linebacker (Lavonte David). Now it's time to add a potential shutdown corner to the secondary to help a troubled pass D. -
Sheldon Richardson, DT, MissouriNext
The Panthers are happy with end Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy, and know they hit the jackpot with defensive rookie of the year Luke Kuechly at linebacker. Richardson's strength to win battles up front would boost those three. -
Dion Jordan, OLB, OregonNext
Sean Payton is switching to a 3-4 defense, and part of the reason is a lack of pass-rushing pop from the current group of linemen. Jordan can deliver right away off the edge and round into a complete outside linebacker. He would also help third-year end Cameron Jordan. -
Lane Johnson, T, OklahomaNext
The Rams can go offense and defense in the first round, as they hold two picks — the other coming from last year's Robert Griffin III trade. With Joeckel and Fisher off the board, Johnson would be most intriguing option to solve the team's nagging problems at tackle. -
John Jenkins, NT, GeorgiaNext
Casey Hampton is an aging free agent, and the Steelers need a new anchor for Dick LeBeau's 3-4 defense. Alabama's Jesse Williams is also a possibility, but Jones is looking like the better all-around prospect for the nose. -
Sharrif Floyd, DT, FloridaNext
The Cowboys are going to a 4-3 under Monte Kiffin, which means they need more depth along the defensive line and quick tackles in a scheme that won't blitz as much. Floyd or Ohio State's Johnathan Hankins are the best options to address that. -
Alec Ogletree, ILB, GeorgiaNext
The Giants have gotten good play from Chase Blackburn, but he's not spectacular by any means and now is a pending free agent. Ogletree is a versatile thumper from a strong program and could be quite productive in Perry Fewell's 4-3 scheme. -
Zach Ertz, TE, StanfordNext
Ertz or Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert? The race to be the first tight end off the board is tight, as both players have good hands and are solid blockers. The Bears need this type of intermediate receiver to help Jay Cutler in Marc Trestman's offense. -
Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre DameNext
The Bengals remain undaunted about taking players with possible character issues. Last year, their decision to sign linebacker Vontaze Burfict as an undrafted free agent paid off big time. Now they need to look inside, where the disappointing Rey Maualuga is a free agent, and Te'o can slide well into Mike Zimmer's 4-3 scheme. -
Eric Reid, S, LSUNext
The Rams are strong at end and cornerback, but they need a rangy center-field playmaker to help their pass defense. With his instincts and nose for the ball, Reid would be a great asset in Jeff Fisher's defense. -
Keenan Allen, WR, CaliforniaNext
The Vikings must get Christian Ponder a legitimate size-speed outside threat to help the passing game and complement security blanket Kyle Rudolph. Oft-injured Percy Harvin is also not certain to return. Allen would allow them to do a lot more in the passing game.
Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio StateNext
The Colts must keep building their front seven to better execute Chuck Pagano's 3-4 scheme. The youth movement is under way on defense, and Hankins would be a great value for them here. -
Ezekiel Ansah, DE, BYUNext
Ansah is raw with tantalizing skills. After the Seahawks hit it out of the park with Bruce Irvin last season, they will be confident about adding a bookend pass rusher here. Ansah definitely looks the part. -
D.J. Fluker, T, AlabamaNext
The Packers can go in many directions on either side of the ball, but offensive line is still a considerable need. Fluker provides the best option at right tackle late in the first round. -
Tavon Austin, WR, West VirginiaNext
The Texans need a young wideout to help Andre Johnson, especially considering DeVier Posey (torn Achilles' tendon) has a long recovery period ahead. Austin is a dynamic, speedy player Gary Kubiak and coordinator Rick Dennison could use in many ways to help Matt Schaub. -
Desmond Trufant, CB, WashingtonNext
Trufant shot up the charts with a strong week of practices at the Senior Bowl, making a case that he should be the second cornerback taken after Dee Milliner. In the playoffs, we also learned Denver must start grooming a replacement for Champ Bailey. -
Matt Elam, S, FloridaNext
The Patriots can't seem to get everything right in the secondary, and as pleased as they were with the switch of Devin McCourty to safety, that's not enough. Bill Belichick has had success with former Gators before, and Elam would be a welcome cleanup man.
Tyler Eifert, TE, Notre DameNext
The Falcons are trying to convince Tony Gonzalez not to retire, but if he ends up sticking to that plan, they can't waste time in replacing him — especially when they are in position to take either Eifert or Ertz. It wouldn't take long for the intelligent Eifert to pick up the offense and work well with Matt Ryan. -
Jesse Williams, NT, AlabamaNext
The 49ers must get younger at nose tackle to help their run defense, and Isaac Sopoaga is a pending free agent. They don't need too much to get back to the Super Bowl, but Williams' fresh, explosive intensity would be welcome next to Justin Smith. -
Sam Montgomery, DE/OLB, LSU
Montgomery isn't quite the level of edge prospect that LSU teammate Barkevious Mingo is, but he offers some of the same explosiveness and versatility. The Super Bowl champions might need to replace pending free-agent OLB Paul Kruger in their 3-4.

After the success of her first and second traditional Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) albums, "Herencia" ("Heritage", 1998) and "Estos y Munchos" (Many Happy Returns", 2001), she has created an original Ladino (Judeo Spanish) album, "Aromas y Memorias" ("Aromas & memories", 2004) together with the famous Ladino (Judeo Spanish) poetess, Margalit Matitiahu. Margalit's words combined with Suzy's music and voice have created a very rare album, since most of the work found in this genre is traditional.

CALLING COSTUME DESIGNERS: Jon Hamm's "Don Draper" character may be the poster boy of "Mad Men," but the show's costume designer Janie Bryant is about to headline her own reality show. With the help of E.J. Johnston and James Deutch, co-cretaors of NBC's "Fashion Star," she is developing a new design competition series that premiers next year. The program is tentatively being called Janie Bryant's Hollywood.
Having seen her fame rise with Mad Men's popularity, Bryant has enjoyed an assortment of commercial opportunities including a Mad Men Collection for Banana Republic, a signature line for QVC and ambassadorships with such brands as Maidenform and Downy Wrinkle Releaser. Early on in her career, she learned the ropes on Seventh Avenue working under the designer John Scher. But her career took a different turn, after meeting a costume designer at a cocktail party and learning about that line of work.
Her latest gig is a natural, according to Johnston. "Many of today's viewers are obsessed with the costume design of their favorite screen characters. Now we can bring that art and process to the forefront with one of the best in the business," he said.

Seventy Years of Nuclear Fission: Short on Confidence; Long on Waste
5:55 am in Uncategorized by Gregg Levine
On December 2, 1942, a small group of physicists under the direction of Enrico Fermi gathered on an old squash court beneath Alonzo Stagg Stadium on the Campus of the University of Chicago to make and witness history. Uranium pellets and graphite blocks had been stacked around cadmium-coated rods as part of an experiment crucial to the Manhattan Project–the program tasked with building an atom bomb for the allied forces in WWII. The experiment was successful, and for 28 minutes, the scientists and dignitaries present observed the world's first manmade, self-sustaining nuclear fission reaction. They called it an atomic pile–Chicago Pile 1 (CP-1), to be exact–but what Fermi and his team had actually done was build the world's first nuclear reactor.
The Manhattan Project's goal was a bomb, but soon after the end of the war, scientists, politicians, the military and private industry looked for ways to harness the power of the atom for civilian use, or, perhaps more to the point, for commercial profit. Fifteen years to the day after CP-1 achieved criticality, President Dwight Eisenhower threw a ceremonial switch to start the reactor at Shippingport, PA, which was billed as the first full-scale nuclear power plant built expressly for civilian electrical generation.
Shippingport was, in reality, little more than a submarine engine on blocks, but the nuclear industry and its acolytes will say that it was the beginning of billions of kilowatts of power, promoted (without a hint of irony) as "clean, safe, and too cheap to meter." It was also, however, the beginning of what is now a, shall we say, weightier legacy: 72,000 tons of nuclear waste.
Atoms for peace, problems forever
News of Fermi's initial success was communicated by physicist Arthur Compton to the head of the National Defense Research Committee, James Conant, with artistically coded flair:
Compton: The Italian navigator has landed in the New World.
Conant: How were the natives?
Compton: Very friendly.
But soon after that initial success, CP-1 was disassembled and reassembled a short drive away, in Red Gate Woods. The optimism of the physicists notwithstanding, it was thought best to continue the experiments with better radiation shielding–and slightly removed from the center of a heavily populated campus. The move was perhaps the first necessitated by the uneasy relationship between fissile material and the health and safety of those around it, but if it was understood as a broader cautionary tale, no one let that get in the way of "progress."
By the time the Shippingport reactor went critical, North America already had a nuclear waste problem. The detritus from manufacturing atomic weapons was poisoning surrounding communities at several sites around the continent (not that most civilians knew it at the time). Meltdowns at Chalk River in Canada and the Experimental Breeder Reactor in Idaho had required fevered cleanups, the former of which included the help of a young Navy officer named Jimmy Carter. And the dangers of errant radioisotopes were increasing with the acceleration of above-ground atomic weapons testing. But as President Eisenhower extolled "Atoms for Peace," and the US Atomic Energy Commission promoted civilian nuclear power at home and abroad, a plan to deal with the "spent fuel" (as used nuclear fuel rods are termed) and other highly radioactive leftovers was not part of the program (beyond, of course, extracting some of the plutonium produced by the fission reaction for bomb production, and the promise that the waste generated by US-built reactors overseas could at some point be marked "return to sender" and repatriated to the United States for disposal).
Attempts at what was called "reprocessing"–the re-refining of used uranium into new reactor fuel–quickly proved expensive, inefficient and dangerous, and created as much radioactive waste as it hoped to reuse. It also provided an obvious avenue for nuclear weapons proliferation because of the resulting production of plutonium. The threat of proliferation (made flesh by India's test of an atomic bomb in 1976) led President Jimmy Carter to cancel the US reprocessing program in 1977. Attempts by the Department of Energy to push mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication (combining uranium and plutonium) over the last dozen years has not produced any results, either, despite over $5 billion in government investments.
In fact, there was no official federal policy for the management of used but still highly radioactive nuclear fuel until passage of The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. And while that law acknowledged the problem of thousands of tons of spent fuel accumulating at US nuclear plants, it didn't exactly solve it. Instead, the NWPA started a generation of political horse trading, with goals and standards defined more by market exigencies than by science, that leaves America today with what amounts to over five-dozen nominally temporary repositories for high-level radioactive waste–and no defined plan to change that situation anytime soon.

Vaginal dryness is present when the tissues of the vagina are no longer well-lubricated and healthy. When these symptoms are caused by a decreased amount of estrogen in a woman's body, this problem is called atrophic vaginitis.
Vaginitis - atrophic; Vaginitis due to reduced estrogen; Atrophic vaginitis
Atrophic vaginitis is caused by a decrease in estrogen.
Estrogen keeps the tissues of the vagina lubricated and healthy. Normally, the lining of the vagina makes a clear, lubricating fluid. This fluid makes sexual intercourse more comfortable. It also helps decrease vaginal dryness.
If estrogen levels drop off, the vaginal tissue shrinks and becomes thinner. This causes dryness and inflammation.
Estrogen levels normally drop after menopause. The following may also cause estrogen levels to drop:
Some women develop this problem right after childbirth or while breastfeeding. Estrogen levels are lower at these times.
The vagina can also become further irritated from soaps, laundry detergents, lotions, perfumes, or douches. Certain medicines, smoking, tampons, and condoms may also cause or worsen vaginal dryness.
A pelvic exam shows that the walls of the vagina are thin, pale or red.
Your vaginal discharge may be tested to rule out other causes for the condition. You may also have hormone level tests to find out if you are in menopause.
There are many treatments for vaginal dryness. Before treating your symptoms on your own, a doctor must determine the cause of the problem.
Prescription estrogen can work well to treat atrophic vaginitis. It is available as a cream, tablet, suppository, or ring. All of these are placed directly into the vagina. These medicines deliver estrogen directly to the vaginal area. Only a little estrogen is absorbed into the bloodstream.
You may take estrogen (hormone therapy )in the form of a skin patch, or in a pill that you take by mouth if you have hot flashes or other symptoms of menopause. See: Hormone replacement therapy
Women should discuss the risks and benefits of estrogen replacement therapy with their health care provider.
Proper treatment will ease symptoms most of the time.
Vaginal dryness can:
Call your health care provider if you have vaginal dryness or soreness, burning, itching, or painful sexual intercourse that does not go away when you use a water-soluble lubricant.

643. Foreign agents or foreign support groups? (8/12/2010)
In 1994 when I went to Shanghai, the Feds had secret deal with the Chinese secret police. China sent agents to the US to work for the Feds. Two applied job in B's(my brother in law) company. W.H.W. works as manager of the warehouse. He receives imported goods and pick up the merchandise for the order. L works as deliver man. To this year(2010), the two have worked for 16 years. That's a real long concealment. Feds finally decides to finish this fruitless work. Last October my father passed away. Two months later, B was pronounced having heart trouble. Doctor said that he might have a sudden death. My brother was confirmed having a last phase cancer. (see #625. Feds start to kill (2/15/2010)) L resigned at this time. His 16 years long concealment ended. He went back to Canton to enjoy his retirement. Then why W.H.W. stays? He must do the last plant job. L's leave may force B to do the deliver job. W.H.W. will prepare the merchandise planted with the drugs for him.
In 1994 (or 1995) another two Chinese agents were sent to work in the travel company where my wife works. They are C-lady and G-man.(see #111) G-man is C-lady's brother. C-lady works in that travel company for 16 years now. Like L, two months ago she said she would go back to China, then she changed her mind. I think Feds has altered their plan - to send her back by the "breaking of Chinese spy ring". G-man left years ago. I think he was recruited by the Feds and has more important work to do as a double spy.
G-man came with his family - his wife and his daughter. G-man's daughter is same age as my daughter. I think that's the reason why he was picked up.
My daughter was 6 years' old in 1994. She had three playmates at that time. When I came back from Shanghai in 1995, I found that three playmates were replaced by new one. The old friends of my daughter were all moved away. She had three new friends. The house next to mine had two new family tenants. Each family miraculously had a child with similar age of my daughter. Plus G-man's daughter, my daughter had three new playmates.
Though Feds' work was very efficient, it also gave me a chance to recognize how they work.
1. Change victim's neighbors, colleagues into agents. Let these agents work as close to the target as possible. Even children's playmates were replaced.
2. Pander to targets' habit and taste - Similar age children, speaking same dialect. G-man and C-lady speaks Shanghainese as we do.
3. They work with patience and always with a smiling face because they have purpose. B is a hard employer, W.H.W. and L. still stay for as long as 16 years. Their justification is: "Though B is tough and rude, his heart is kind." B is so pleased that he always boasted that "My employees said I'm a kind boss."
They are Chinese agents planted in B's company and the travel company my wife works. The purpose is not only for surveillance and plant but also for the FISA search warrant. The real target is US citizen. The funny thing is, their job doesn't relate to a bit of spy work because my relatives are all decent US citizens. That's why Feds had created a strange "Russian spy ring" which "The only things missing in more than a decade of operation were actual secrets to send home". That is exactly my case. What evil is the Feds start to kill to cover up their crime when they decide to close the case.
644. Bio team and G-man (8/22/2010)
On 8/12, I wrote #643, said that G-man may now be a double agent. I think it's an accurate judgment because there was a swift reaction from the Feds next day.
In the morning of 8/13, When I left home I found there were traffic board set up at the ends of the street to block the vehicles from entering. That was a sign of big operation. Feds used to block the traffic to prevent others from seeing their secret operation. I immediately remembered the article I wrote the day before. What would they do this time?
It seemed everything was alright until the evening. I felt itching and found many swelling on my feet. At first I thought I might have been stung by insects when I watering the tree in the backyard.
Then came the visters - the couple (R of S.I.L.) (relatives of my sister in law, see #625. and #639). They just return from a trip to Shanghai.
After they leaving our house my wife complained mosquitoes. Her feet were full of swellings too. I told her it was not mosquito. Mosquito was not able to bit behind trousers. It was flea or tick because the sting part were at feet. My wife reminded me that she also noticed the couple kept scratching their feet and shank. Relate to the road blocking that morning, I realized it was the work of a bio-team of the Feds. They released a large amount of fleas or ticks in the day when nobody was at home. So far as I know, only Pentagon has secret bio-labs. D.O.D. and D.O.J. collaberate in my case. They used to privately punish the people they don't like with high tech. weapon. Because the result of those weapons looks natural and hard to be traced, they call themselves "God". That's what we saw in D.C. sniper case (When the Taro card told police they were "God", and Pat Robertson said "the God" told him Bush would be elected twice.)
G-man was a top Chinese agent. Though he was selected to work in my case for having a daughter with similar age of my daughter and he speaks same dialect as my family does, he originally worked as a manager of a Hotel casino in Srilanka. His customers were all high ranking officials of Srilanka government. Later when G-man met a Srilanka Minister in US, that Minister couldn't believe G-man worked only as a staff in a small travel company. These people of course didn't know he had a special mission here.
Anyhow G-man got a special treatment in travel company. The owner of the A and S tour inc. is Mrs.H. Her brother H is an arm dealer. G-man, a new staff of the travel company, was given a Benz to drive by H. So they had a particular relationship. G-man knew there was an operation then and the arrest would happen and left travel company earlier.
The name of the operation was "Fire Dragon". (see "32.Operation Fire Dragon") The Feds disguised as a buyer of AK-47 from South America. The dealer was H. The supplier was North Company (or North Industry Company) - a company with the background of Chinese military. Originally, G-lady and G-man worked in "A and S Tour inc". Then G-lady introduced my wife into the company. She and G-man all left the company before the case broke out. They avoided to be involved in. I believe my wife was guided in to be investigated in that case. When the operation finished, H was fined. He soon opened a restaurant in San Francisco. To review the case now, the real victim is the North Company. That left me a question, what was the role of G-man in this case? Did it mean Chinese secret police co-operate with their American counterpart to frame Chinese military?
About one year later, G-man brought some fluorescent lamps to my home. A friend of his had moved house and abandoned these lamps. G-man said he thought we could use these lamps to save energy bill. I had alleged fluorescent lamp could be reformed to be killing weapon.(see #22-24. Fluorescent lamp killing) G-man's action proved my allegation, and proved he worked for the Feds as well. Although my wife urged me to install the lamp, I refused and put them into the garage. Some time later when I want to check the secret of the lamp parts, I found they disappeared. Feds took it back when they saw I refused to install them. High tech. weapons should be managed strictly. Feds wouldn't "abandon" it too long.
645. Sri Lanka and Thailand (9/1/2010)
Sri Lanka government had fought against its rebellion - Tamil Tigers for 30 years long. None got upper hand. The balance was broken in early 2009. The government security force launched an invasion at rebellion In January, killed the leader of Tamil Tigers and finished the war in May. The achievement was got under the support of Chinese government with its arm supply to the Sri Lanka government. Usually when such balance was broken, the other side would interfere - by international protest and increase the support to the opposite side. But this time U.S. looked on unconcerned. Tamil Tigers have become a sacrifice as a payment to China. In early 2009, Feds had planned a big operation. The most impressive event was they originally were going to kill people with Bird Flu (H5N1). When the plot failed, they created a Swine Flu (H1N1) crisis to cover up. Each time China would play an important role in the plot and would get some payment for collaboration.
No resistance or rebellion, or terrorist group - can survive without outside support. Feds is an expert on it. They like democracy - two competitive parties. By supporting the party who promise to give them more the Feds always take advantage. When G.O.P. promised to give them war and power (patriot Act), Bush was selected to be president. The "God" also let him stay for a second term despite a big lie scandal. (W.M.D. in Iraq) Another sample is the Mujahideen. When it was used to fight against Soviet Union, it was called resistance. When the Feds need a false flag terrorist to extort American people, they change the name Mujahideen into Al Qaida though the leader is the same agent - Osama Bin Laden.
When there is a need, asset became a sacrifice. Sri Lanka is a payment to China in 2009 operation. I think G-man played a role in that deal. Several years ago, he got US citizenship. He then became a businessman to sell Malaysia's oil palm tree to China. Selling Sri Lanka to China was one of his businesses, I think.
Of course, Sri Lanka is a small payment. If the plot goes through, the payment would be bigger. Thailand is part of it.
In March and April of 2009, there was a riot in Thailand. The opposition party of the Thailand organized its people (in red shirts) to block the traffic in Bangkok and surrounded the building of Prime Minister for three weeks. The protesters demand a regime change. There was a conflict between the demonstrators and the military. The casualty was more than one hundred. The riot ended on April 14, 2009. It accorded with the end of the mysterious S.A.R.S. alike pandemic. See "605. Swine Flu time table (5/20/09)". The coincidence enables me to believe Thailand was also a part of the payment to China. The opposition leader - former Prime Minister, Taxin, was thought pro-China and was reported being in China sometimes.
This year in March, April and May, the red shirt movement rose again. Thai troops and protesters clashed, dozens dead, hundreds injured. The Thailand crisis ended like last year's because the main plot in US failed to go through.
On 8/23 Taxin resigned his job as an economic adviser to the Cambodian government. Cambodian and Thailand government also announced to exchange their ambassador to recover the broken relationship. When I read the news I knew the main operation of this year is finished. The main event in this plot: Google withdrew from China in January; the sinking of the S. Korea warship Cheonan in March 21, the media attack on sex scandal of Vatican in April and Euro crisis took place in Greece; the arrest of Russian spy ring in June. They were so confident that the deal will go through they even put Taxin in a neighbor country so once the deal is fulfilled, their puppet could get back to Thailand as soon as possible.
Sri Lanka is a small chip paid to China for its collaboration with the Feds. Thailand is big chip and is reserved for next deal. Of course, there is an even bigger one - Taiwan.
