Each week we will find a topic which has been written from the perspective of an author who subscribes to the conventional ideals espoused within the left right paradigm and I will refute it using common sense and the principles of freedom.
The Founders of America envisioned a government that protects individual liberty but as we creep closer to Totalitarian collectivism, are you really free?
Taxation is immoral because it is theft. If it is morally wrong for you to steal then why do we allow the government to do it? Learn why they are getting away with it.

Taxation is an art. The government must spend more then they tax in order to give the illusion the people are getting value for their money. In order to keep us apathetic they tax just enough to avoid resistance. This is why they use the deceptive tax of inflation.

The government lies. The mainstream media reports the lies. The lies are recorded as history and passed down from generation to generation.
It has become apparent that much of society today has lived most of there lives with a news media that reports irresponsibly at best and at worst complicit in creating the problems of our society.

He didn't win, of course, but he got close enough so a politically-motivated Supreme Court majority could effectively appoint him the President.
We have an ignorant plurality in this country who have been denied a proper public education by greed-ridden authoritarian state government office-holders who are interested only in using the power given to them by the electorate to encourage large future campaign contributions. This year this ignorant plurality is called "Trump supporters." In previous years they've been "NASCAR Dads," "religious conservatives," and the "moral majority."
Perhaps because of the influence of commercial entertainment media and quasi-religious organizations which rely on donations and tax dodges to exist this plurality has not been challenged to think critically. Perhaps because of the regressive tax policies promoted by (the spokesmodels for financial cheats who hold sway in) Congress, this plurality has seen their wealth and comfort decline in the midst of excessive fortunes for a few others. Perhaps because of campaign finance laws rigged to serve the interests of wealthy benefactors only this plurality has seen their government become completely disinterested in solving their daily problems.
Like cells in the body that lose communication with the host system they have become toxic to the very thing that gives them life. I don't know what is going to happen, but I do know this looks like the precipitous decline of this country. I have been wondering since I was a child if I would see a world-changing event like the American Revolution, or World War II, in my lifetime.

Liking Las Vegas
While I enjoyed that trip, it was mostly because of my companionship and in spite of Las Vegas itself, not because of it. I was way too cool for Vegas, and I looked down my nose at it and my fellow tourists.
This time, for whatever reasons, I find that I "get" Vegas in a way I never did before, and it has also simply improved, cleaning-up it's act a little. Gone are the guys on the street handing out offensive porn flyers for sexual services, there's more than ever to do that doesn't involve gambling, and the architectural excess has gotten to the point where it is majestic as a fake. That is, these buildings and edifices are clearly fake, but oh what a fake!
Vegas, it will come as no revelation, is a fantasy setting. One can indulge in any number of fantasies; for a few hundred dollars I could pretend that a trim, athletic dancer is my horny girlfriend. I could pretend that free money comes out of a machine. I could easily convince myself that I'm having an experience something like an idealized stroll through Les Halles in Paris, or in the shadows of the Eiffel tower, or back in NYC, or the grand canal in Venice, or a fabulous plaza in Italy, etc, etc.
I could pretend that I am important enough to have a hotel staff at my beck and call, that I can go for sushi, Italian, prime steak or haute cuisine all within a short walk from where I make up my mind. There are many young women here wearing clothes that suggest they believe themselves to be highly sought-after objects of desire.
It's fantasy, and as such, actually fairly harmless. I don't know why I found it so objectionable before.
Perhaps because I am here this time NOT fantasizing myself. I'm working, I'm interested in what I am doing, and I don't have some idea in my head that I want to manifest here. I'm not coming here to fantasize, maybe it was my own failed fantasies before that made me dislike it so, maybe it just sucked more earlier, I really don't know, but somehow this is all no more distasteful to me now than a Halloween costume I'm not really into. I used to really hate Vegas, now I think it's kind of clever in some ways, and I see it's role in a regular person's life--as a place to have a little fantasy experience.
I was out this morning at 3:30am (because of the time difference with the east coast), everyone that was out had been up all night. They were stumbling around in a kind of friendly haze. A couple of young women all made up trying to walk in heels while tugging down on the hem of their way-too-short in micro-mini's yelled "Hey sexy!" at me across the casino floor and then scattered away in peals of laughter as I looked up with a "WTF?" expression on my face.
On another trip, I would have been offended by that, but instead I smiled to myself and hope they enjoyed shocking this old man as a way to pass the time as they stumbled back to their room. I was okay being objectified, because we're all a little part of everyone else's fantasy here.
So, congrats Vegas, I don't hate you like I used to.

Book review: Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nehisi Coates
I thought it would probably take me weeks of bringing this book along with me for my solo meals out, which is how I do much of my reading. I'd get through a bit here, chew on it, bite off a bit more, etc.
Instead, I read it from beginning to end in one sitting, staying up long past my bedtime because I prefered reading it to sleeping. I began the book as my accompaniment for a solo meal out, that meal ran into more than two hours, then I brought it home and continued to read it until I was surprised and saddened by the last page.
This is at once a beautiful, touching, moving and profoundly insightful book. It answered, in one swiftly deft sweep of elegant prose, questions about racial identity in America that have puzzled me since I realized that I was "white" and there were other people, mostly distinguished by skin color and economic class, who were "colored." I would guess I was around four or five years old when I first wondered why white and colored people were so angry with each other. It was 1964.
This book is written, earnestly and sincerely, as a letter to his son. There is no artifice in this. It is a letter from a black father frightened for his black son, who wants him to understand his situation and be able to discern lies from truth as he deals with it. He almost too-dryly lays out the dangerous situations over which his son will have no control other than over his own actions and mental repose, explaining each with simple equations of self-interest, power and brutality.
He then details his own struggle and evolution with all this, honestly unearthing his own now-abandoned limited views of the world, some left on the streets of Paris and some left on the boulevards of a now-gentrifying Harlem, now strolled by white women with strollers, the very neighborhood in which I live today and read this remarkable book.
He describes white people as "people who believe themselves to be 'white.'" This distinction is the central revelation of this book for me as a man of caucasian and European descent. I was primed and readied for this view because I've never felt my "white" identity was something real. I'm a little Northern European on my mother's side, a little Southern European on my father's.
I've had my DNA sequenced, so I know that my father's ancestors emigrated from Northern Africa to Southern Europe fifty-thousand years ago, about twenty-thousand years before my mother's ancestors came out of the Caucus mountains and moved to Northern Europe. I have more in common genetically with people in the Basque region of Spain than any other currently identifiable region, but my father's family regards it's European roots as being in Alsace, we have record of a DeWald as a tax collector in the region in the eleventh century.
However, the name DeWald has it's richest history in South Africa, at least for the last couple of centuries, and in German, it means "of the woods."
So, WTF am I? A German/English/Basque/Alsatian/Afrikaner? I'm all those things, but according to the US culture, I'm "white" along with my friends whose ancestors followed an entirely different path. We share a skin color and assumedly "not one drop" of the adulterating "colored" blood. That's what makes us white, and it is the only thing that makes us white. We believe we are and so does everyone around us.
This is the point that Mr Coates makes so eloquently. "White" isn't a race, as such, it's an identity, and the degree to which one possesses the identity (in their view and in the view of others) determines which side of the racial dividing (white vs. non-white) line one lives in the United States. The United States has, in Mr. Coates view, a heritage of enslavement, a history of violent oppression, and a continuing practice of violating non-white personhood. He points out, coldly and rationally, that non-white people, today, still lack boundaries and protections against institutional and state-sanctioned forms of systemic violence.
White people, or as Mr. Coates reminds us, "people who believe themselves to be white" take inviolable boundaries and protections against these kinds of institutional and state-sanctioned manifestations of systemic violence for granted. This is what really makes them white.
I live in Harlem. It would shock me to the very core of my being if a NYPD officer stopped and frisked me for drugs, weapons or contraband. It would be a turning point in my life, a story I would tell for years, something I would pursue remediation for to the full extent possible, with no fear of further persecution because I chose to do so.
I walk by black men being stopped and frisked by NYPD on these same Harlem streets so routinely that I hardly take notice of it.
There's nothing rhetorical about that. It's a fact of my own life.
If I had a black son, I would require him to read this book. Today.

Coping with the loss of oppression.
A few days ago the morning paper was full of stories about the Supreme Court's decision concerning marriage equality. A number of those stories concerned wistful gay rights advocates who found themselves grieving the loss of their oppressed status and fearing the ramifications that the end of their legal repression will have for Art and gay culture. There was surprise expressed about this seeming disconnect between the joy of a legal victory and this discouraged outlook for the future of their community both in the stories themselves and by those they interviewed.
There is no disconnect. Even when one hates an identity it is hard to see it go. I've been through this myself.
When I shed one-hundred twenty pounds of excess weight in early 2010 I lost my identity as the fattest guy in the room. For the previous twenty years I had always been easily identifiable by that very tag. It was very, very very rarely not the case.
One of the most shocking moments of my life was when a work colleague I met in mid-2010 told me that "obese" was not a word he would use to describe me to someone else. I will never forget. I was stopped dead in my tracks for a moment. I remember the ochre color of the wall and the brown trim around the door I was looking at when he said this. He had never known the fattest guy in the room, but he knew me.
Over the years of living as a very large man in a world that largely shunned and ridiculed me I become adept at explaining to myself and others what my limitations were and why I had them. Comfort is a scarce commodity in a four-hundred pound man's world, but I could comfort myself with the notion that my isolation, celibacy and stunted professional success were the product of being in a world that unfairly and impersonally shamed fat people.
Similarly, I think, thought leaders in gay culture have used their status as an oppressed minority to explain their limitations. They now find themselves, as I did a few years ago, in a new situation now that the oppression, at least in this singular but important official sense, is being lifted. All of the advantages of operating as a legal repressed minority with regard to marriage and family have vanished.
Take it from me, this is profoundly disorienting in a way that is so subtle it is almost hidden. It is a time of reckoning, and it is not simple. I wish them well.

How to lose a Happy Customer
I changed phones recently, losing one of the two-factors I needed to log-in. To account for this inevitability, the service provides never-expiring back-up codes to use. I had already logged-in previously using these codes (since changing my phone), so I only had three left.
I decided to use the link they provided on the log-in page to reset my multi-factor authentication.
I clicked it, I was asked to reset my password via a link sent to the e-mail associated with the account. That's a perfectly reasonable request, so I did so. It asked me for a multi-factor authentication code to complete that request, so I used one of the three I had left.
I knew my password, I didn't really want to change it, but that's on me. I changed it, submitted one of the three codes I had, was told the change was successful, and then was directed to log-in to my account.
When I went back to log-in to the account, they required a multi-factor authentication code to complete the log-in. I used one of the two I had left, that failed.
The only option I had left was to try the whole process again, and that used up my last code.
I was now locked-out of my account because I followed their instructions.
I started looking on the web-site and wiki for a phone number. There isn't one.
I went to submit a lost password ticket off of their website. In order to authenticate the ticket, I had to provide the first and last four for my credit card.
I have six credit/debit cards, and a paypal account. I have been paying by paypal, but I knew I had used one of my cards with them, but I didn't know which. I had to submit six tickets in order to make sure at least one of them would match up.
Four hours later I got an e-mail from them admonishing me for submitting multiple tickets on the same issue.
That was the line they crossed. I was doing what they asked me to do to the best of my ability.
I previously loved and admired this company to the extent that one can "love and admire" a company. I have sent them many customers, tested their new systems, and have been an unpaid technical evangelist for them for a long, long time.
Today, I begin the lengthy and sad process of moving to another, probably less-capable, web-host.
Why? I need a web-host with a phone number. It's that simple. I need that connection. It's 2015, not 2050. Web-services are not reliable break-glass procedures for unique and unanticipated customer problems.
Their re-set procedures churned through my back-up codes and did not work. I needed to call them and tell them that.
They don't want to let me.
I know the underlying strategy here is to maximize efficiency. I provide technical support in my job. Most requests are best handled over e-mail. But, everyone has my phone number. For the hundreds of dollars a year I was paying them, they can give me one too.

Waiting for you, waiting for me.
I think about my friends a lot. I plan to go see them. I save conversational nuggets. I bring gifts from time to time. I go to them, like thirst seeks water.
Very few friends come to see me. I realize retrospectively that I have become accustomed to this over time. I used to pay more to live in a place I could entertain in. I had extra chairs, place-settings, and cocktail glasses. Like a fine arts degree from a small college, they sat as un-used reminders of an unrealized dream until I gradually discarded them over time for the extra room.
Now I have one chair, one plate, a few glasses, and a few pieces of mis-matched flatware. I have about a dozen coffee mugs because I once collected them, but mostly I have enough eating/sitting/sleeping things for myself, alone.
I comforted myself with the idea that this imbalance between visiting and being visited was a matter of expeditious convenience, that is, because I am single and unmarried I am much more mobile. It's much easier for me to get to my friends than for them to get to me.
Right. As if "easy wins." When did "easy" become the most important thing in friendships? Why is "easy" even a particularly coveted value in this situation? No one wants things to be hard, but traveling to see my friends wasn't something I did because it was easy. I did it because I thought it was my contribution to something we mutually valued.
Being the one to go to my friends may be something I quit because it is too hard. The difficulty of travel is not the biggest problem, the difficulty of being on the wrong side of this imbalance on a consistent basis bothers me much more. It is hard to adjust my schedule to fit with others. I wait, I defer, I put things off, I exercise patience. Too often I'm the only one.
Honestly, my patience muscle is strong enough; it doesn't need a lot of exercise. I can be very patient, but it is not always right for me to be patient. Sometimes I forgive too much, am "patient" too often, too frequently accepting the priorities of others over mine. This is a defense against the uncomfortable feeling of not being wanted on my terms. This isn't really forgiveness, it's a kind of mental cocktail, something to take the edge off.
Inevitably things hit the fan and the people around me understandably conclude that I am volatile and dramatic with complicated and covert standards for other's behavior. The time and energy I spent managing my un-met wants and hoping for a better outcome that precedes an eruption is something I keep well-hidden.
This strategy and collection of habits doesn't work for me. I don't want to go to extremes, but things are going to change.

This Christmas, be kind, not nice.
I am currently in that uncertain, awkward phase of getting to know A. After over a year of exchanging smiles, greetings and small talk when I ate lunch at her sushi place, after more than two months of negotiating schedules and postponing our first meeting three separate times, we finally got together for a coffee at Starbucks last Friday.
It's Christmastime, and I asked her to Starbucks to satisfy my curiosity about her life and background, so I brought a small gift for her to the meeting as a token of my appreciation for making time for me. It was a pen, special because it will write on almost anything in any position. I thought this would be useful to a waitress. Hers had a special finish. It came in a gift box. I gift-wrapped it and gave it to her at the close of our rendezvous at Starbucks.
We had a wonderful talk, three hours of mutual disclosure and sharing. She is from a foreign land, the only child of a single mother. English is a second language, she didn't study it seriously until she decided to immigrate to the United States. Hers is a fascinating story of courage, pluck, hard work and good fortune. I was happy to hear it.
I didn't ask her age, but I found out in our conversation that her mother is forty-five, nine years younger than I. Putting together various other chronologies from discussions of her education back home and time in the US, I would guess she is about twenty-five. We parted planning to see each other again. More discussion of our encounter belongs in another essay, this one is about the gift.
I had all but forgotten it last Tuesday when I texted her to wish her well on her winter holiday trip to California.
Me: Bon voyage! Have a good trip. Travel safe.
Oops, I should use better grammar. English is hard enough to learn without my bad examples.
A: Thank you Richard!)) I very like your present. Take care
I'm guessing the two parentheses were a mis-typed emoji.
Me: :-) Stay in touch.
Oh yeah, the present, cool that she likes it I thought to myself. I had almost forgotten about it. I got everything I wanted from it by just having a chance to give it to her. It was a bonus that she liked it. As with most of my immediate reactions in these situations, that was right on. It's a beautiful clear sunny day in my mind's train station, I have a nice seat on a comfortable bench.
Then the Doubt Express rolls in, bringing it's usual overcast skies and gloomy outlook.
So, I think to myself, she says "take care." Does that mean she's saying goodbye? She says she "very likes" the present, is that a way of pushing me away with feigned praise?
Wow, I then think to myself, that's a fucked-up notion. Why am I in this hand-basket and why is it getting warm? Why the doubt?
Because I do this. I push people away with fake praise and gratitude. I have no reason to think that A does this as well, I'm just reaching for messages from her because I'm in this early phase of getting to know her. I inadvertently reached into my own bag of dysfunction for a clue, temporarily mistaking my character flaws for insight into her possibly hidden motives.
I have no idea where our friendship is going. I don't even know that it's going anywhere. We had a nice talk. We both left wanting more. That's all I know. I've never been my age with friends her age. I don't have a script for this. I just liked her as a waitress and asked her to coffee. I hadn't thought about the next step because I wasn't sure we would get to this one.
Now that I am thinking about next steps, wondering what's going to happen now that we both seemed to have surprised ourselves with how much we enjoyed talking, I want some answers. Since I don't have a way to get any right now, I start making them up.
Being honest with myself about all this caused me to discover something new about what's wrong with white lies like "I LOVED your gift. It means so much to me" when the truth is otherwise. I've said things like this to people in the past just before I tossed their present in the re-gifting box while looking for something to give them in return, internally resolving to avoid them next Christmas.
I regard the white lie as the right thing to do since the sentiment I expressed spares the other person the possible embarrassment of knowing they failed to impress me with their gift, or worse, that I didn't want a gift from them in the first place. Besides, it was nice. It's always good to be nice, right?
It is the season for gift-giving, often to people we don't know well, often overlain with and obscured by the social norms of rank, privilege and authority. We give gifts to people whom we otherwise wouldn't spontaneously give a gift: bosses, employees, co-workers, distant relatives, in-laws, etc,.
We also buy bigger gifts for those people to whom we are accustomed to giving, perhaps after having saved money for it, or shopped extensively, or done some special research. With A, I also used Christmastime as an excuse to put a toe over a boundary between waitress and customer. This also happens.
All this makes gift-giving/receiving a high-risk, high-reward endeavor this time of year. Messages are sent with gifts. Some are received clearly, some not, some are missed. Some people lie.
It's bad enough that I have this people-pleasing habit because it makes me a phony. I am pushing people away with niceness, I am deliberately misleading them about who I am. That's clear and easy to see.
It is not so easy to see that this habit of being nice causes me to miss genuine messages from others. I wonder if they are just being nice to me instead of being genuine. Are they re-gifting my bauble? Are they rolling their eyes at the prospect of now having to give something to me when they had no plans to do so?
Assume the simplest explanation about A's reaction is true--she really likes the pen. She liked it so much that telling me that was the first thing she said to me after opening it. How cool is that? I get the bonus gift of finding out I guessed right about someone I'm getting to know. She is happy to have it, she wants me to know that. Awesome.
Instead, because of my habit of phony niceness to others in the past, I hop aboard the doubt train going to Loser-ville. What if she's a liar like I am?
That's the real cost of being nice, and it's why I'm trying to stamp niceness out of my life permanently. I want to be kind. I don't want to be a people-pleaser. I want to be known as someone who is direct and transparent. I want to see the directness and transparency in people around me clearly.
So, in these last few days of shopping before Christmas think about kindness versus niceness. Kindness belongs in Christmas. Find your Tiny Tim, bring him a Christmas goose. Otherwise, take the risk of respecting your genuine gift list. Don't give gifts to be nice.
When you give to be nice you're actually taking Christmas away, keeping Bob Cratchit late on Christmas Eve to line your own pockets. Please don't.
This Christmas be kind, forget niceness.
Happy Holidays.

AS previous writers have stated,1 acute suppurative parotitis in the newborn is encountered with much greater frequency than indicated by the number of cases reported. Surgical parotitis has been reported more frequently in adults than in newborn infants, giving the impression that this disease entity occurs rather often in adults, but rarely in infants. However, on reviewing the literature, we have found reports of a number of cases of newborn infants with this condition, from 31 to 40 per cent of them being premature.2 Since it has been stressed that the prognosis for premature newborn babies is very grave,3 we are reporting a case of acute suppurative parotitis in a 9 day old premature infant born at eight months followed by complete and uneventful recovery.

Photosynthetic light-response curves describe how leaf photosynthesis changes with light intensity, but they are time-consuming to measure, differ between species and change depending on the growth environment of the leaf. Lachapelle and Shipley study plants of 25 herbaceous species grown in four different light and fertility environments in an interspecific context and show that light-response curves can be predicted on the basis of two static leaf traits that are available in large trait databases, namely specific leaf mass and leaf nitrogen content.

(Dwarf Serbian Spruce)
* Full Sun - Part shade * Zones 4-7 * 6' tall * 5' wide
A Compact Dwarf Serbian Spruce on a Standard, grows 3-6 inches per year !
You are bidding on a 24-30 inch tall high grafted, Standard Dwarf Serbian spruce. The spread is about 6 inches right now.
Picea omorika 'Nana' Standard is the Dwarf Serbian Spruce that has those soft green needles on the top-side and the bottom side and retains that bluish color. The rounded form is very easy to maintain, a spread of 5.0′-6.0′, and around 5.0′ for the height.
There are now a lot of these type of evergreen standards out there to use but this one has a 2 tone color effect. There is a nice subtle change from green to blue in the needles.
Evergreens on standards like this make an incredibly strong statement in the immediate area they are placed. Becoming a focal point, or at least an exclamation point, needing a supporting cast to show off this plants interesting characteristics. A mass of low perennials, or ground cover is a safe bet, not a group of 4 or 5 deciduous shrubs with the same rounded shape competing for your attention.
These globes also look great as part of a collection of conifers/evergreens. Though I would put them(evergreen standards) next to some lower, wider spreaders.
The other way to use these dwarf globes is as a pair, flanking a sidewalk or guarding the ends of a bed. I guess you would say this is the standard, typical, ho-hum way to be placed in the landscape. it's true, but it works.
Remember this design tip with these types of shrubs . . . think focal point, then place this type of evergreen where you want someone to look, a place of interest, and appreciate what's happening in that space. Then surround these focals with subordinates to support the uniqueness of the evergreen on a standard.
Care: Prefers deep, moist but well-drained, neutral to acidic soil.

Diversity and institutional equity are constant focuses at Palm Beach State College. Students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Palm Beach State College openly believes that diversity is a strategic priority and should be embraced as a reflection of society that should enhance the educational process. With that in mind, the College has focused on the formulation and creation of several different student activity groups. Ethnic clubs such as the Spanish and Latino Student Association (SALSA), German Club, and the International Student Club all seek to educate individuals about the importance of cultural diversity, familiarity, and acceptance. Ethnic clubs aren't the only available organizations at Palm Beach State College. The Gay-Straight Alliance, Group 5 Art, and Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society are also clubs students can join if interested. While the honor societies are by invitation only, all other clubs are open for participation. Because Palm Beach State College wants to make sure each and every student feels welcomed, the Dr. Martin Luther King Annual Celebration Breakfast is a yearly event in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King; it also honors outstanding individuals throughout the community who have taken active roles in improving the lives of others. And while many students may be unable to attend, the school broadcasts the event live on the Internet so that all students can participate.

Central coach Rich Drayton was the first to be doused with ice-cold water. After that, the joyous players, grabbing another bucket at chilly Northeast High, zeroed in on the game's hero.
"Yeah, they got me pretty good," multipurpose standout Walter Pegues said. "I tried to get away, but couldn't. It wasn't that bad. I was too caught up in the moment to really feel it."
In the granddaddy of all Thanksgiving Day games, Pegues scored from the 1-yard line in overtime to give the Lancers a 6-3 win over archrival Northeast and set off a wild celebration. It marked Central's first holiday triumph since 2004.

Non-Standard Monetary Policy Measures And Monetary Developments
Standard accounts of the Great Depression attribute an important causal role to monetary policy errors in accounting for the catastrophic collapse in economic activity observed in the early 1930s. While views vary on the relative importance of money versus credit contraction in the propagation of this policy error to the wider economy and ultimately price developments, a broad consensus exists in the economics profession around the view that the collapse in financial intermediation was a crucial intermediary step. And how have they informed the conduct of monetary policy by leading central banks in recent times? This paper sets out to address these questions, in the context of the financial crisis of 2008-09 and with application to the euro area.

Passengers aboard a Turkish Airways flight from Istanbul to Miami described the moments of shock once they realized the airport they departed from was the scene of yet another deadly attack Tuesday.
"We had live TV on the flight so I was able to watch CNN and BBC," Turkish traveler Corey Erman said. "So really the last three hours of the flight we were just watching to see what was going on. It's terrible."
At least three dozen people were killed in explosions at Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul, in what officials said appeared to be a coordinated terror attack.
"Seeing it and realizing we just left that airport eight hours ago, it was a little unnerving," Harry Rogge said.
Travelers say when they landed at Miami International Airport, security was tight before even stepping off of the aircraft.
"Just to get off the plane onto the ramp we had to show passports and they must of had about 8 or 10 officers, a bomb sniffing dog, they were checking everybody," Rogge said.
At the departures terminal, people waited in line hoping for an answer to make it safely to their final destination. Others, however, changed their travel plans altogether.
"We were meant to visit family members in Istanbul, but we have changed our plans. I have family in Hungary so we'll just head on over to Budapest," traveler Shari Little said.
"It does make me very nervous, very nervous," David Williams said. "I'm not sure if I want to travel today."
"I'm really speechless, I'm really worried, and I don't know why anything is happening and I don't know when it's all going to end," Ceylan Duru Can said.

arepas on a street stall
|Place of origin
|Colombia, Panama, Venezuela
|Region or state
|Northern South America
|Timoto-Cuica people
|Main ingredients
|corn flour (maize meal or flour)
|Cookbook: Arepa Media: Arepa
Arepa (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈɾepa]) is a type of food made of ground maize dough or cooked flour prominent in the cuisine of Colombia and Venezuela.[1][2] The native Timoto-Cuica people of the Andean region of western Venezuela are credited for inventing the arepa. It is eaten daily in those countries and can be served with accompaniments such as cheese (cuajada), avocado, or split to make sandwiches. Sizes, maize types, and added ingredients vary its preparation. Arepas can also be found in Panama, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and the Canary Islands.[3][better source needed] It is similar in shape to the Mexican gordita and the Salvadoran pupusa.
The arepa is a flat, round, unleavened patty of soaked, ground kernels of maize, or—more frequently nowadays—maize meal or maize flour that can be grilled, baked, fried, boiled or steamed. The characteristics vary by color, flavor, size, and the food with which it may be stuffed, depending on the region. It can be topped or filled with meat, eggs, tomatoes, salad, cheese, shrimp, or fish depending on the meal.
The dough can be prepared two ways. The traditional, labor-intensive method requires the maize grains to be soaked, then peeled and ground in a large mortar known as a pilón. The pounding removes the pericarp and the seed germ, as only the endosperm of the maize seed is used to make the dough. The resulting mixture, known as mortared maize, or maíz pilado, was normally sold as dry grain to be boiled and ground into dough.
The most popular method today is to buy cooked arepa maizemeal or flour.[citation needed] The largest producer of precooked corn flour is Empresas Polar through the brand Harina P.A.N. The flour is mixed with water and salt, and occasionally oil, butter, eggs, and/or milk. Because the flour is already cooked, the blend forms into patties easily. After being kneaded and formed, the patties are fried, grilled, or baked. This production of maize is unusual for not using the nixtamalization (alkali cooking process) to remove the pericarp of the kernels. This makes arepa flour different from masa flour, which is used to make tortillas.[4]
The arepa is a typical Venezuelan dish par excellence with the hallaca. It is consumed throughout the geography of the country, it is usually eaten almost every day at breakfast or dinner, either as a main course or as a side. In Venezuela, there are different brands of corn flour. Some of these brands are Juana, De mass, Mercal, and National Flour Foodstuff (Harina PAN) In 1960, Empresas Polar, under the slogan "the piladera It's over!" launches pre-cooked corn flour harina p.a.n. obtained through the procedure developed by the Venezuelan mechanical engineer Luis Alberto Caballero Mejias, which represented an important alternative to avoid the long process of making arepas with a pylon. From that moment, thousands of trained by the company women took to teach housewives how to make arepas with corn flour, and these, in turn, were responsible for passing from one generation to the easiest way to make arepas. Following this, the main image of the packaging harina p.a.n. is a woman with a white turban with red and dressed points with a typical Venezuelan suit, very similar to those in charge of teaching and publicize the Harina PAN, which is the best selling and remembered by the Venezuelan brand, also markets in other countries. Tosty Arepa The arepas can be cooked in four different ways: roasted, baked, boiled, and fried. Another way to make arepas is using a Tosty Arepa, appliance, like precooked corn flour, he revolutionized the way as arepas prepared and decreased time preparación. Tosty Arepa is a creation of the company Oster of Venezuela. From 1989 to 2006, the Tosty Arepa has been transformed to more modern models and útiles. The arepas are sold primarily in areperas specializing in arepas, popular restaurants across the country, where the stuffed arepas are achieved with many dishes that have become popular in the population. This popular food has even been part of the menu McDonald's. In all over the country there are areperas working 24 hours and is a common practice in the morning, enjoy some arepas after leaving the clubs or parties.
Récord Guinness[edit]
On 23 March 2011 the record to making the world's largest corn bread by Empresas Polar, in Caracas, Venezuela, for processing using one of its flag, Precooked Corn Flour was granted harina p.a.n. within the framework of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the brand and 70 years of Empresas Polar . Arepa in question required 230 kg of flour, salt, oil and 420 liters of water to make a mixture of 683 kg and 493.2 kg obtained as a result of perfectly cooked and ready to eat arepas then 50 minutes of cooking. The record was ratified by the official adjudicator Guinness World Records, Ralph Hannah, who relished the arepa and made official the new marca.
Arepa flour is specially prepared (cooked in water, then dried) for making arepas and other maize dough-based dishes, such as hallacas, bollos, tamales, empanadas and chicha. The flour may be called masarepa, masa de arepa, masa al instante, or harina precocida. The most popular brand names of maize flour are Harina PANHarina Juana, and Goya in Venezuela, Areparina in Colombia.[5]

Biomedical Technologies are tools and techniques to be applied for the purpose of relieving abnormal body functioning, at the molecular, cellular, organ system and whole body levels. Research on biomedical technologies goes up to the point where these tools and techniques are tested on human subjects; it also includes the development of novel medical devices that improve health or quality of life of individuals.
The Health programme is contributing to the sector of biomedical technologies primarily through the support of collaborative research projects. Along the different Framework Programmes, biomedical technologies have been included in the various activities under FP6 and FP7. In FP6 (2002-2006), an estimated 100 million have been dedicated to activities in imaging, radiotherapy and disease-targeted projects. In FP7 as a result of its first four calls for proposals, the Health theme is supporting about 47 collaborative research projects related to the field of biomedical technologies representing an EU contribution of around 220 million and covering the areas of analytical and diagnostic devices, imaging technologies/visualisation techniques, pathogen detection and implanted biomaterials/tissue engineering.
The used approaches are multidisciplinary, integrating areas such as: molecular and cellular biology, physiology, genetics/genomics, physics, chemistry, biomedical engineering, nanotechnologies, microsystems, devices and information technologies. Developments are designed to lead to new technologies, methodologies and approaches for non-invasive prediction, diagnosis, monitoring and/or prognosis for a variety of pathologies ranging from neurological disorders over cancer to infectious diseases. A number of projects supported in this area are relevant to the development of medical devices. They are all of potential benefit to patients and involve European industry, in particular SMEs.

Additional Information
Muscovy duck, also known as Barbary duck, is prized for its deep red, lean meat and mildly gamey flavor.
Things we like about Muscovy duck: it is thin-skinned, with up to 40% less fat than its Pekin counterpart. So while cooking, it will render less fat; a good thing to keep in mind while preparing it.
Also in its favor, Muscovy duck has a higher meat-to-bone ratio and a larger breast than a Pekin duck of the same weight. This means that you are getting more meat for your money.
The flavorful and tender meat of the Muscovy duck is delicious when basted with our earthy truffle butter and served with mixed organic mushrooms. It is also an ideal match for tart, fruit-based sauces, or a glaze of lavender honey or plum sauce.
Just the facts
- Raised humanely in open barns
- No antibiotics or hormones from birth
- Corn, soy, wheat and alfalfa diet
- Serves 2 people
- Sold in an uncooked state
- Product of USA
- Use within 3-5 days of receipt
Since day one, D'Artagnan has been dedicated to finding farmers that share our vision of more humane and sustainable methods of rearing livestock. By working only with farms that respect nature and focus on the best animal welfare practices, we can stand proudly behind all of our products.
The Muscovy (also known as Barbary) duck comes from the warmer climes of South America. This makes it perfectly suited to the Mediterranean climate in sunny Central California, where our duck farm is located.
For over three decades, the farm has followed the French humane breeding and husbandry traditions; ducks live in open, spacious barns that permit natural behavior.
The ducks never receive any growth hormones, steroids or antibiotics, and are allowed to reach full maturity. This is a crucial difference between our methods and those of the average farm.
Our duck farm allows nature to take its course, and grows the ducks out to 85 days on average, twice as long as industry standard. A more mature duck is a tastier duck. That, along with a balanced diet of corn, soy, wheat and alfalfa, contributes to the best possible flavor and yield.

Mexico's broadcaster building seven studios for telenovelas
Mexico's No. 2 broadcaster TV Azteca broke ground Monday in Mexico City on a $55 million complex housing seven studios dedicated to sudsers.
The 61,000 square feet facility is next to TV Azteca's existing five-studio home, bringing the broadcaster's total space to 88,000 square feet at that site.
CEO Mario San Marin said the expansion should allow the web to up soap production by 40% when completed in roughly 18 months.
The web makes 1,300 telenovela episodes per year and is expanding its domestic programming from five to six hours of sudser programming per day.
The fully HD complex will give a permanent home to TV Azteca's hit musical reality skein "La Academia" (The Academy).
It also will feature new audio and video production facilities as well as extensive hair, makeup and wardrobe departments. It will tap green initiatives like solar and wind power generation for much of its electricity needs.
Until now, Azteca has rented studio space for production overflow at Mexico City's aging Churubuscu studios. San Marin is convinced this will help improve cost efficiency.
Azteca's head of international sales Marcel Vinay said that he's looking forward to bringing new product to foreign markets by late 2011, adding that sales are weathering the worldwide economic downturn well. "People prefer buying in the can (with the recession)," he said.

The Hunt for Vulcanby Thomas Levenson
The captivating, all-but-forgotten story of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and the search for a planet that never existed For more than fifty years, the world's top scientists searched for the "missing" planet Vulcan, whose existence was mandated by Isaac Newton's theories of gravity. Countless hours were spent on the hunt for the elusive orb, and some of the era's most skilled astronomers even claimed to have found it. There was just one problem: It was never there. In The Hunt for Vulcan, Thomas Levenson follows the visionary scientists who inhabit the story of the phantom planet, starting with Isaac Newton, who in 1687 provided an explanation for all matter in motion throughout the universe, leading to Urbain-Jean-Joseph Le Verrier, who almost two centuries later built on Newton's theories and discovered Neptune, becoming the most famous scientist in the world. Le Verrier attempted to surpass that triumph by predicting the existence of yet another planet in our solar system, Vulcan. It took Albert Einstein to discern that the mystery of the missing planet was a problem not of measurements or math but of Newton's theory of gravity itself. Einstein's general theory of relativity proved that Vulcan did not and could not exist, and that the search for it had merely been a quirk of operating under the wrong set of assumptions about the universe. Levenson tells the previously untold tale of how the "discovery" of Vulcan in the nineteenth century set the stage for Einstein's monumental breakthrough, the greatest individual intellectual achievement of the twentieth century. A dramatic human story of an epic quest, The Hunt for Vulcan offers insight into how science really advances (as opposed to the way we're taught about it in school) and how the best work of the greatest scientists reveals an artist's sensibility. Opening a new window onto our world, Levenson illuminates some of our most iconic ideas as he recounts one of the strangest episodes in the history of science. Advance praise for The Hunt for Vulcan "This delightful and enlightening drama tells the story of the hunt for a planet that did not exist and how Einstein resolved the mystery with the most beautiful theory in the history of science. The Hunt for Vulcan is an inspiring tale about the quest for discovery and the challenges and joys of understanding our universe."--Walter Isaacson "The Hunt for Vulcan is equal to the best science writing I've read anywhere, by any author. Beautifully composed, rich in historical context, deeply researched, it is, above all, great storytelling. Levenson gives a true picture of the scientific enterprise, with all its good and bad guesses, wishful thinking, passion, human ego, and desire to know and understand this strange and magnificent cosmos we find ourselves in."--Alan Lightman, author of The Accidental Universe "The forgotten story of Vulcan could no longer remain untold. Levenson tells us where it came from, how it vanished, and why its spirit lurks today. Along the way, we learn more than a bit of just how science works--when it succeeds as well as when it fails."--Neil deGrasse Tyson "Levenson's brilliance as a writer is in setting the evolution of scientific ideas into their appropriate historical contexts, allowing us to see their wider implications."--Lisa Randall, professor of physics, Harvard University, and author of Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs "The Hunt for Vulcan is science writing at its best. This book is not just learned, passionate, and witty--it is profoundly wise."--Junot DíazFrom the Hardcover edition.
Newton and the Counterfeiterby Thomas Levenson
A fascinating slice of true-crime history that unfolds in 1695, when law enforcement was unheard of and modern money was little more than a concept When renowned scientist Isaac Newton took up the post of Warden of His Majesty's Mint in London, another kind of genius--a preternaturally gifted counterfeiter named William Chaloner--had already taken up residence in the city, rising quickly in an unruly, competitive underworld. In the courts and streets of London, and amid the tremors of a world being transformed by ideas Newton himself had set in motion, Chaloner crosses paths with the formidable new warden. An epic game of cat and mouse ensues in Newton and the Counterfeiter, revealing for the first time that Newton was not only one of the greatest minds of his age, but also a remarkably intrepid investigator.

Was very happy with Dr. Patel and his staff. He answered all my questions and concerns and was very informative. Would definitely go back to him. Had no problems with making my appointments. Courteous staff.
I was sent there by my Obgyn. I had questions pertaining to my pregnancy and all I got from Dr Patel was a condescending attitude. I'm also a health professional and it bothers me when doctors behave that way. I would never visit his office again. Ever. The service was poor. I wish I could get my money back.
I was called in to do several ultrasounds for low fluid levels. He had placed me on bed rest and had me in his office for 2-3 hours every other week doing these stress tests, ultrasounds, and long waiting room waits. Turns out my fluid levels were never low and I had other doctors state that all these visits were unnecessary and causing me more stress and money than they were actually worth. His office staff is extremely rude and unwilling to work around your schedule. They will schedule you for a certain time and then leave you in the waiting room for hours on end. I spent no more than 3 minutes with Dr. Patel at each visit, maybe 10 with the ultrasound technician, and the rest of the time waiting. He never fully explained any "problem" he diagnosed me with and pretty much said to trust him. Very poor practices high I had confirmed by other doctors. It's about getting your money, not about keeping you and baby healthy.
Money hungry doctor--- He and his staff insists on unneeded follow ups.
Will NEVER return to this facility. Staff is incredibly rude and Dr runs unnecessary tests. Costs tons of $ and they can't even explain to you why they are running said tests!
The absolutely best doctor I have ever come across.
Excellent doctor efficient and very smart. I like that he is not so laid back. I have been to another perinatologist in Boca Raton and they were too laid back in my last pregnancy for me after losing my daughter at 39 weeks to a chord accident.
My ob suggested to go there for another review... done unnecessary u/s and billed big amount....wanted to make another appointment which was not at all needed....
I have never been so rushed out at a doctors office before. Her office manager is the sweetest person. She is truly a caring person. I've been there twice and I always leave with more questions and more doubts. The moment you sit in his office he wants you out. He asks for your weight and to book your next app and that is about it. Horrible, horrible doctor.
I would say dr. Patel is very knowlegable in his filed of practice. However, office was always overbooked, the waiting room was full, and I got a feeling he waa just scheduling everyone to get more $$$ from insurance companies. Also he takes very little time with patients. I definately trust his diagn0sis, but wish he could take more time to explain them.
i was referred to this specialist by my reguilar ob to monitor my cervical threshold- after seeing him every 2 weeks for 4 months he still didnt know me by name! very unpersonable. every time i saw him to go over results of visit he would tell me everything was looking ok but when i saw my reg ob they said his reports were saying things were wrong. staff is incompentant to set appts always calling me to change at last minute. the only feelings i get of the practice is churn out as many patients as possible to make a quick buck. believe me, that office was not the reason my pregnancy ended up going ok after all- they did nothing but make excuses to see me again and again so they could bill my insurance co. what a waste of co-pays and time! the only reason i put up with it all is because each time i went i told myself it couldnt get worse but it did!
The crowded waiting room and unusually long wait time might be just gimmicks how great the practise is.Ask them upfront how much your or your insurance might pay. This lack of transparency might prove costly.After long wait and some procedures, where you also wait, Dr spends with you just a few minutes hardly giving you your accurate health picture. Give a chance to different experts in the area, although he might come highly recommended.

Skip to comments.Reid Backs Anti-Koch Constitutional Amendment
Posted on 05/15/2014 8:14:06 AM PDT by Sub-Driver
May 15, 2014 11:05 AM Reid Backs Anti-Koch Constitutional Amendment By Andrew Johnson
In his latest Koch-binge tirade, Harry Reid voiced support for a constitutional amendment brought forward by two other Democratic senators to reverse the Supreme Courts Citizens United v. FEC decision, which would allow Congress to limit campaign contributions.
Lets keep our elections from becoming speculative ventures for the wealthy, and put a stop to the hostile takeover to our democratic process by a couple of billionaire oil barons, he said on the Senate floor on Thursday.
Introduced by Michael Bennet of Colorado and Tom Udall of New Mexico, Reid called on his colleagues to support the amendment, for which the Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing.
During his remarks, Reid revisited many of his favorite tropes against the Kochs, and criticized the brothers father, Fred C. Koch, for his role in the founding of the John Birch Society.
There is absolutely no question the Koch brothers in a category of their own no one else is pumping into shadowy campaign organizations or campaigns like they are, he said. There isnt even a close second.
He is deranged............
I Back an Anti-Reid Constitutional Amendment!
So Harry Reid wants to cut off funds for democrats from George Soros...
Yeah, riiiiight.....
Captain Psychopath
They want to go back to the days when the labor unions could legally funnel millions to democrats but non-labor union PACs were limited in what they could do to support other candidates.
I'd like to go back to the days when we tarred and feathered tyrants.
The Koch brothers and others earned their money legally in the marketplace.
The real question is how did Harry Reid amass a multi-million dollar fortune on a senator's salary?
I'd like to see the Koch Bros. tag team Reid's ignorant, greedy @$$.
Democrat Harry Reid strategy: divert voter attention away from everything to this meaningless campaign.
Drones will be next.
But it's settled law... Right?
He is not deranged but a hard core communists criminal Democrat the has the total protection from the King Obama communists controlling Administration. This communists empire owns America and nothing can be done unless King Obama is impeached and his empire is cleaned out.
By the way, miss Romney yet? This was our only chance to stop the communists takeover of America.
"But Let's Keep Those Union-Dues Flowing In To The DemonRats"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"By the way, miss Romney yet? This was our only chance to stop the communists takeover of America."
Did you really say that? Miss McCain yet? Miss Dole yet? Good grief.
The RATS never talk about their big donors, George Soros, teacher unions etc. and how about that dude that's giving 100 million to stop the pipe line? Harry Reid and the rest of the corrupt RAT thugs belong in jail.
When we talk about Soros we're nuts.
When they talk about Koch they're just being reasonable.
Harry Reid is wifty!
Go back to the reaction to the anti-flag-burning amendment.
The lefties cleverly talked about abridging the First Amendment and changing the Bill of Rights. The EXACT SAME ground is covered here.
No use explaining it again and again. If it is beyond your comprehension then live in your small world and enjoy King Obama empire.
Probably get shot by the EPA for mis-use of petroleum derivatives.
With his talk of amending the Constitution, corrupt Reid is blowing hot air to impress his low-information supporters, just as Obama makes many constitutionally indefensible executive orders to make himself look like a king issuing edicts in the eyes of low-information voters.
More specifically, regardless that Reid is wrapping himself in the flag with his talk of amending the Constitution, the corrupt federal government cannot afford for citizens to find out the following. Only the states, not the federal government, have the constitutional Article V power to ratify proposed amendments to the Constitution. And if low-information citizens were to learn that then they would ultimately wise up to the fact that the states not only have absolute control over what the Constitution says, but also absolute control over the federal government, including federal taxes.
They're not even in the top 20 you IDIOT!
