In the almost ten years since the landmark book Health Issues in the Black Community was first published, the gap in health status between black and whites in the U.S. has not disappeared. To breach this gap, vigorous action must be directed to prevent disease, promote overall health, and deliver appropriate care within the African American population.
In this thoroughly updated and revised edition of Health Issues in the Black Community, the editors offer an in-depth examination of the most pressing health problems confronting the black community. Written by a stellar panel of scholars and practitioners, this valuable resource examines such topics as chronic illnesses, the effects of violence, and health policy. Health Issues in the Black Community also contains the most current thinking on relevant health, delivery, lifestyle, and policy issues.
Emphasizing the need for innovative health care policies that are culturally sensitive, Health Issues in the Black Community covers a broad range of important topics including
Health care providers, researchers, educators, students, and policy makers will find the second edition of Health Issues in the Black Community to be a relevant and useful resource.

Sandra E. Taylor is professor and former chair in the W.E.B. DuBois Department of Sociology at Clark Atlanta University, and a visiting professor in the Behavioral Sciences and Health Education Department of the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University.
Braithwaite and Taylor are the coeditors of Health Issues in the Black Community, First Edition (Jossey-Bass Publishers, 1992).
Reviewer:Janine Lewis, BS, MPH, PhD (cand)(University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health)
Description:This book provides a composite of black health in the United States, over the lifespan, and uses a socio-ecological approach to present the current state of affairs and provide direction on best practices in addressing the persistent disparities. It also frames health as a result of a dynamic relationship between individual risk/facilitative behaviors and the environment in which people live, work, and play.
Purpose:The purpose is to 1) provide "a forum for debate and discussion for the prevention of disease," 2) "influence opinion leaders and provide a futuristic perspective on black health issues," and 3) "document selected unhealthy conditions and advance viable strategies for ameliorating them." Given the disparities that continue to exist in black health, especially black male health, these are certainly worthy objectives. Until we can see the true extent of the problem, we cannot seek to address it in any sustainable way. The book meets these objectives with comprehensive and thoughtful chapters by authorities in the fields.
Audience:The authors suggest a broad audience that includes "students, academicians, public policymakers, and administrators in public health and related disciplines." The book will be of most use to students, for example, enrolled in a health disparities course. The information also could be of practical use to practitioners such as public health officials at state or local agencies, or representatives at community-based organizations seeking to write a needs assessment as part of a grant proposal with blacks as a target population. The three editors have collaborated on previous editions.
Features:The book provides an overview of the major causes of morbidity and mortality among blacks in the U.S., insight into risk factors related to lifestyle choices, and a review of emerging methods to address health disparities. The best features are the discussions of how community health workers can be employed as a cost-effective way to infuse culturally relevant health messages and practices into the community, and how social marketing is an important methodology that can be used to reduce disparities. The book could have incorporated more social justice points within chapters, instead of focusing such language in the preface and afterword. It also should have included some mention of the stark disparities in black birth outcomes (i.e., infant mortality, low birth weight, preterm birth). On a minor note, the front cover picture of a shopping district with high-end stores does not correlate well with the content.
Assessment:The chapters are relevant, cutting-edge, thoughtful, and well researched by experts in the field. The information is clearly presented and could easily be used for proposals and policy documents as well as research papers. Unfortunately, there has not been as much improvement in black health as public health researchers and practitioners would have liked since the previous edition seven years ago. Thus, a new edition and a new approach focused on the individual-community interaction are required.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Eastburn Early Origins
Yorkshire in the West Riding where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, having prevailed over King Harold, granted most of Britain to his many victorious Barons. It was not uncommon to find a Baron, or a Bishop, with 60 or more Lordships scattered throughout the country. These he gave to his sons, nephews and other junior lines of his family and they became known as under-tenants. They adopted the Norman system of surnames which identified the under-tenant with his holdings so as to distinguish him from the senior stem of the family. After many rebellious wars between his Barons, Duke William, commissioned a census of all England to determine in 1086, settling once and for all, who held which land. He called the census the Domesday Book, [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) indicating that those holders registered would hold the land until the end of time. Hence, conjecturally, the surname is descended from the tenant of the village and lands of Eastburn, held by Gilbert de Tison, a Norman baron, from the King, who was recorded in the Domesday Book census of 1086.
Eastburn Spelling Variations
Eastburn Spelling Variations
The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries. For that reason, spelling variations are common among many Anglo-Norman names. The shape of the English language was frequently changed with the introduction of elements of Norman French, Latin, and other European languages; even the spelling of literate people's names were subsequently modified. Eastburn has been recorded under many different variations, including Eastburn, Eastbourn, Eastbourne, Estburn, Estbourn and many more.

New Year, New Hope
December 21, 2016
Topics: Heart (cardiology), Riley Kid Story
There's nothing quite like the promise of a new year. As we turn the page of the passing year, we begin a new chapter – one of hope and endless possibility.
My daughter Sawyer spent her first year of life in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) at Riley Hospital for Children – her first Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. And though it wasn't what we had envisioned, we rang in her first new year in CVICU room 3202. It was never lost on us how fortunate we were to begin a new year with our child – our child who had overcome every obstacle placed in her path. Our child who had fought through two open heart surgeries, two runs of ECMO life support, and countless procedures to make it to this moment.
The new year.
We watched on the television as the crowd counted down.
10, 9, 8… We imagined, with optimistic anticipation, what the coming year might bring for our daughter.
7, 6, 5… We reflected on all we had learned through Sawyer's illness and how we had grown.
4, 3, 2, 1… Happy New Year!
We peeked out to the nurses' station as they silently celebrated and we knew there was goodness to come. Sawyer had gone to sleep hours before, so we stole a quick kiss and called it a night. When we woke, there would be work to do, progress to make, and milestones to celebrate!
When you have a sick kid, you search for hope in even the tiniest moments. At Riley Hospital for Children, you don't have to search far. Hope is all around – in the faces of children fighting big battles, in the passion of the people who provide them care, and in the generosity of kind souls who support research and development to give these kids a fighting chance.
When you donate to Riley Children's Foundation – you become a beacon of hope for families in desperate need. Will you help bring hope to Riley families this New Year?

Samantha Kelly and her husband Patrick are the parents of Riley heart patient Sawyer Kelly. Sawyer was born in July 2014 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, and received a transplant at Riley Hospital when she was 9 months old. The Kelly family lives in Indianapolis.

Pumm-Ra is the first Thunderian guise that Mumm-Ra asked the Ancient Spirits of Evil to grant him in one of his many attempts to destroy the ThunderCats. In this form, Mumm-Ra tried to deceive the ThunderCats into thinking he too was a survivor of Thundera's destruction. He went so far as to have Cheetara drugged and placed with him at a fake campsite to set the foundation of his deceit. When Cheetara revived, she listened to Pumm-Ra tell his tale and seemed convinced enough to introduce him to the other ThunderCats.
It was not long after the ThunderCats Council decided to give Pumm-Ra a trial living arrangement with them that he set about to sabotage their equipment, and re-program it to signal the waiting Mutants to attack. However, the ThunderCats ultimately regained control of their fortress and cornered the Puma of Thundera, only to find out that he was Mumm-Ra. The devil priest reverted back into his warrior form then teleported himself back to the Black Pyramid.

"This version (adapted by Caroline Russock at Serious Eats, from Faith Durand's Not Your Mother's Casseroles) is a gorgeous reinvention of the meat-meets-pastry classic. The biscuits do not get as crispy/crunchy/flaky as a traditional pie or puff-pastry crust; this is really more of a chicken cobbler than a pot pie. :) http://bit.ly/hWJvFS"
Lemony Chicken Pot Pie With Parsley Biscuit Crust
0 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 20mins
Ingredients Nutrition
For the biscuit topping
- 1 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, very finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces (1/2 stick)
- 1⁄2 cup milk
For the chicken
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
- salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 fennel bulb, cored and chopped into small pieces
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1⁄2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 lemon, juice and zest of
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrot
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 2⁄3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Preheat the oven to 400°F Lightly grease one 2-qt baking dish (or 6 1-cup ramekins) with olive oil.
- To prepare the biscuit dough, whisk the 1 1/4 c flour, baking powder, salt, and parsley in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter and work it in with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles soft bread crumbs. Add the milk, stirring just until the dough comes together. Set aside.
- Cut the chicken breasts into large bite-size pieces. Toss the pieces in a bowl with the 1/4 c flour and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large Dutch oven or sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering and giving off wisps of smoke, add the chicken and brown for about 6 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, fennel, and garlic. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and increase the heat up slightly. Cook 3-4 minutes, then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown fond from the bottom of the pan. Add the peas and carrots, the broth and the chicken, and season the stew with 1 teaspoon of salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
- Spread the stew in the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Drop the biscuit dough on top in 6 to 8 evenly spaced mounds (or drop one generous spoonful on each ramekin) and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top. Bake, uncovered, about 40 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the biscuits are golden.

Senator Ron Wyden issued the following statement today after President Obama signed legislation (introduced on June 4th by Senator Wyden and cosponsored by Senators Bingaman, Mark Udall, Tester, and Feinstein) allowing the U.S. Forest Service to speed up contracting of additional air tankers needed to fight forest fires.
"Congress and the President acted quickly to address the need to get more planes in the air to fight forest fires that are getting larger and more devastating. Now it's time for the Forest Service to do the same. By speeding up the contracting process, the Forest Service now has the authority it needs to devote much-needed fire fighting resources to fires raging in six western states and elsewhere this year and into the future. I want to thank the President for recognizing the importance of this issue and for his efforts to begin modernizing the air tanker fleet that has been allowed to dwindle over the last decade."

If Superman were to lose all of his abilities--besides Super Strength, Flight, Invulnerability, Super Healing, X-Ray Vision, and Heat Vision--would you still be interested in the character? This means no Super Speed, no Super Leaping, no Superhuman Memory/Intelligence/Learning, no Microscopic/Telescopic Vision, no Super Hearing, no Super/Ice Breath, no breathing in Space, and no longevity. He would basically be more in line with his JLU version.
He would need to rely more on his reporting skills, supporting cast (Jimmy, Perry, Lois, Lombard, Ron, Gen. Lane, Bibbo, Cat, etc.), and Kryptonian heritage/tech. Would you still be interested in him if he were that nerfed?
I'm genuinely curious. What make you interested in reading Superman? All answers welcome.

Ahmedabad, Nov. 22: Narendra Modi is sick. Of the central command.
Hours after the BJP central leadership made it clear that it wanted to renominate Haren Pandya against Modis expressed wishes the caretaker chief minister complained of chest pain and uneasiness and was admitted to a hospital.
Modi has been opposing the renomination of Pandya, who he considers a loyalist of his rival Keshubhai Patel, from Ellis Bridge in Ahmedabad, while the central leadership is afraid of stoking rebellion by denying a ticket.
As the chief minister remained in Gandhinagar Civil Hospital after doctors advised him bed-rest, the BJP election committee could not meet. At the intensive care unit, where Modi is recuperating, there was a rush of politicians with get-well messages. Pandya was among them.
Sources close to the chief minister said Modi continued to be adamant in his stand that Pandya should not be renominated from Ellis Bridge, despite the state leadership also agreeing with the central commands opinion that he should get a ticket.
The sources said Modi would file his nomination on the last day, November 25. Which means if Pandyas name is announced for the Ellis Bridge constituency, the chief minister is keeping the option of not contesting open.
On the other side, time is fast running out for the central command to announce Pandyas candidature with only two days left before Mondays last date of filing nominations.
Its a battle of nerves that will now be played out between Delhi and Gandhinagar. Accompanied by senior RSS leader Madan Das Devi, Modis close friend and BJP general secretary Arun Jaitley landed here today to try and stitch together a rapprochement after having failed once earlier this week.
Another bid at a patch-up failed with BJP supporters in Godhra, Modis campaign capital, refusing to accept the chief ministers candidate Haresh Bhatt, formerly of the VHP. Modi had summoned Gopalsinh Solanki, a former MP, yesterday and asked him to turn his supporters around. Solanki expressed his inability: he himself is the candidate the local BJP is rooting for.
The BJP wants to win this election in the name of Godhra, but the party cannot gain if it wants to force us to accept an outsider who will not be supported by local party workers, said an angry supporter.
A day after the Concerned Citizens Tribunal released its report on the riots, indicting Modi and the administration, the task of defending the government was taken up by the VHPs Praveen Togadia while senior BJP leaders chose to ignore it.
Togadia said he would file a defamation suit against members of the tribunal.

The authors are Sven Friedrich, curator of the Richard Wagner Museum in Bayreuth, and Gerhard K. Englert, the editor of the previous audio guides that have been released in the same series and that explore the world of classical music. Together, the authors offer listeners a modern, convenient and quick introduction to Wagner's cycle, The Ring of the Nibelung.The motifs are presented in the order of their first appearance in the cycle and accompanied by an expert commentary. In this way, the listener is also introduced to the story of the Ring, an introduction that follows the narrative very closely by examining the development and meaning of the music.
The narrator is the distinguished British bass-baritone Sir John Tomlinson, who has appeared in countless performances at the Bayreuth Festival since making his début there as Wotan in 1988.

Loveland eNews
Loveland's General Fund revenue has come from Property Tax, Estate Tax, building fees, Income Tax, the Local Government Fund, Mayor's Court, and various other sources. A combination of decreased property values and State budget cuts have caused a sharp decrease in these revenues over the last several years. The State of Ohio cut the Local Government Fund in half, eliminated the Estate Tax in 2013, and phased out the Tangible Personal Property Tax. Beginning in 2011, property tax revenues began to decrease as a result of decreasing property values. General Fund revenue sources are described in more detail below.
Income Tax
As the economy began to rebound in 2013, the City of Loveland experienced a 6.41% increase in net income tax revenue over 2012. Loveland residents enjoy a relatively low income tax rate when compared to our comparable cities. Our credit rates are also favorable relative to Loveland's comparable cities. Tax Burden Overview (T-BO), January 2012 (1908)
Property Tax
Beginning in 2011, property tax revenues began to decrease. This is largely a result of decreasing property values and the State's elimination of the Tangible Property Tax. This trend continued into 2012 and 2013 as well.
The property millage rate varies depending on the county, school district, and township or city in which you live. The City of Loveland occupies three different counties and three different school districts. These different counties and school districts combine to create five different property tax districts with different combinations of tax rates. While the City of Loveland tax rate is uniform in all five districts, school and county tax rates vary. This causes residents in different areas of Loveland to have different tax burdens depending upon the county and school district in which they are located.
These five different City of Loveland tax districts, all of which are inside the City limits, are:1.Clermont County, Loveland Schools;2.Warren County, Loveland Schools;3.Hamilton County, Sycamore Schools;4.Warren County, Little Miami Schools;5.Hamilton County, Loveland Schools.
Because county and school tax rates vary depending on where you live inside Loveland, the respective distribution of each dollar of property tax paid varies.
As in most parts of Ohio, the largest portion of property tax is paid to school districts. Many county services are also supported through property taxes. In all five taxing districts inside the City limits, the City of Loveland receives a relatively small portion of property tax.
Because the largest single group of residents in Loveland live in Hamilton County and Loveland City Schools, we will further examine this tax district for illustrative purposes. In the Hamilton County, Loveland Schools tax district, a total of $0.14 of every dollar of property tax paid is received by the City. Of the portion of property tax received by Loveland, an even smaller fraction is put towards the General Fund.
For residents in the Hamilton County, Loveland Schools jurisdiction, only $0.056 of every dollar of property tax revenue is placed in the General Fund while $0.084 supports our fire and EMS operations. The amount of revenue generated by property tax for Loveland's General Fund is smaller than it may initially appear.
Administrative Transfer
Another substantial General Fund revenue is the Administrative Transfer ($449,773 in 2013) from other funds. Administrative transfer recognizes that the City's water utility, for example, receives legal, administrative and financial services from staff paid for by the General Fund.
If the water utility were a wholly separate company, it would need to have these business functions either in-house or paid for through contracts. Because these functions are instead provided by staff paid for by the General Fund, the Water Fund "pays" the General Fund each year through an Administrative Transfer.
Historically, this has been done for the Water Operations, Stormwater, Sewer Billing, Sanitation & Environment, and the Fire and EMS funds. However, this transfer was eliminated for the Fire and EMS Fund in 2012, 2013, and 2014 as this fund cannot afford to pay its formulaic share. When combined, these funds now pay for about $449,773 of services from the General Fund each year. The amount transferred is based on a fixed formula.
Loveland is fortunate to have control of its own utilities (except for sewer). This enables the City's General Fund to have a stable, more diversified revenue stream.
Mayor's Court, Building & Zoning, Other
These three categories make up a relatively small portion of General Fund revenues. Mayor's Court receives fees and fines as revenues while the Building & Zoning Office receives fees from building permits and inspections. Other revenues include liquor and cigarette taxes, cable franchise fees, and lease income.

text: Regional grid operator PJM Interconnection recently broke the winter peak load record set just last year during the polar vortex, Gongwer reports. Unlike last year, however, the recent preliminary peak demand of 143,800 MW did not force any outages, because PJM had nearly 161,000 MW available to meet the demand, reports Lehigh Valley Live. "[A]n unusual number of plant outages" contributed to last year's service issues, according to the Pittsburgh Business Times. "[M]ore power plants were available" compared to the January 2014 record-breaking event; PJM has since "enhanced monitoring of the power plants in its system and has increased communications with utilities," according toGongwer. FirstEnergy Corp., American Electric Power Ohio and Duke Energy cited grid reliability problems during last year's polar vortex in their "proposals to require customer to guarantee profits from aging power plants (see our September 8, 2014 blog post for more on this)," which are still pending before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Gongwerreports.

Comcast service restored for most of Lowcountry
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) -- A Comcast outage that lasted through most of the day and well into Wednesday night has people turning to social media -- and their cellular data service -- to vent.
A note on the company's website says service would return by 10 p.m., but earlier reports from irate customers said they had been quoted 5 p.m. At one point, the company was quoting 1 a.m. Thursday, but service started returning around 9:20 p.m.
Representatives with the company said a fiber line had been cut.
The Post and Courier reportedly spoke to a customer service representative once to discuss the outage, but has not been able to contact the person again.
Some people reported that area gas stations that use Comcast for Internet service to process bank and credit cards are asking people to only use cash during the outage because they cannot process the cards.
For people who are trying to gain access to ABCNews4's programming, over-the-air service is working and signal strength is strong for the outage area.
To get the over-the-air signal, people should unplug their TVs from their cable boxes and use a digital antenna. Many recently manufactured TVs have built-in digital antennas.

Businesses must understand the critical need for policy-driven security and privacy compliance in developing the right business processes and technical architectures. Detailed technical standards might soon enable the integration of privacy and security policies in business systems. In the near term, the International Security Trust Privacy Alliance has developed a privacy framework to support the implementation of any set of information privacy management requirements, irrespective of source, jurisdiction, or combination.

There's nothing more frustrating than closing your refrigerator only to see the door swing back open. Not only does this waste energy, but it can also cause your food to spoil. The bottom line is that you can't take the chance of food-borne illness bacteria growing inside your refrigerator; therefore, you must keep the door closed when it's not in use. If you aren't sure on how to accomplish this, keep reading and we'll walk you through some steps to keep your refrigerator door closed.
Is It Level?
One of the first things you should do is check to see if your refrigerator is level. If the front of your refrigerator is lower than the rear, it may cause the door to swing and stay open. The easiest way to determine this is to simply place a leveler stick directly on top of your refrigerator. Once it's laid out, look to see where the air bubble is inside the leveler. Ideally, the air bubble should be sitting directly in the middle, as this means it's completely level. If it's off to the one of the sides, then your refrigerator isn't level.
Depending on the exact make and model of your refrigerator, fixing a leveling problem may or may not be an easy issue. Get down on your hands and knees and shine a flashlight down around the "feet" of your unit. You can usually turn these feet clockwise to increase their length. Alternatively, you can place some cheap cardboard coasters underneath the short ones to increase their height as well.
Clean The Seal
Sometimes the reason why a refrigerator door isn't closing is due to a dirty seal. When mildew or liquid residue begins to form on the door seal, it creates a slippery layer that prevents it from closing properly. Take a minute to open the door and clean the seal on both the door itself and the refrigerator. There are a few different ways to clean the seal, but I recommend using a solution of white, distilled vinegar dilluted with water. Spray the seal with the dilluted vinegar and wipe it down with a wash cloth or scrub brush. Once you've cleaned it, go back over it with a clean wash cloth to remove any excess vinegar and moisture.
Hopefully one of the two methods listed above will help get your refrigerator door back to working the way it should. If it's still causing you trouble, don't hesitate to call a professional to come out and service your unit.

A client who blasted a veteran attorney's performance in a series of termination letters, going so far as to suggest "misconduct, malpractice, and negligence," did not defame the lawyer, a unanimous state appeals panel has ruled.
The Appellate Division, First Department upheld a lower court's ruling in Frechtman v. Gutterman, 157028/12, agreeing that the client's statements were not defamatory because they were expressions of opinion rather than fact, and protected by both absolute and qualified privilege.
The decision, handed down Thursday, affirmed a ruling by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla (See Profile) dismissing the defamation case. Appellate Justice David Saxe (See Profile) wrote the decision and was joined by Justices Angela Mazzarelli (See Profile), Rolando Acosta (See Profile), Rosalyn Richter (See Profile) and Paul Feinman (See Profile).
The plaintiff, A. Bernard Frechtman, has practiced law in New York for more than 60 years. His clients included a group medical staffing business, Response Companies, owned by Allen Gutterman, whom he represented in various matters.
In August 2012, Gutterman gave three letters to Frechtman terminating his employment in three separate matters, according to the attorney's complaint, which named Gutterman and his companies as defendants. The letters were allegedly typed by one of Gutterman's employees and then signed by Gutterman.
Frechtman claimed that the letters contained defamatory statements, including:
• "We do not believe you adequately represented our interest."
• "We believe your failure to act in our best interest in reference to certain matters upon first engaging in the matter may equate to misconduct, malpractice, and negligence."
• "We believe that your future representation on this matter only became necessary, as a result of mistakes and oversights made by you acting as counsel."
•"[W]e believe that we should not pay for the value of services for which any misconduct or counsel oversight relates to the representation for which fees are sought."
Frechtman alleged that Gutterman and Response Companies owe him more than $57,000 in unpaid legal fees, and is seeking an additional $250,000 in punitive damages for the alleged defamation.
When Scarpulla dismissed the case, Frechtman appealed.
In upholding Scarpulla's decision, Saxe noted that "it would seem reasonable to conclude" that the claim must fail because the letters were not published. However, he said the Court of Appeals had ruled in Ostrowe v. Lee, 256 NY 36 (1931) that merely dictating a letter to an employee, as Gutterman allegedly did, can be considered "publishing" it to a third party.
Thus, he found, "the publication requirement may be satisfied by the allegation that the document's contents were revealed to such a company employee."
The claim failed, however, because the statements in the letter amounted to opinion, not fact, even though some of the language suggested accusations of specific wrongdoing.
"While the use of words such as 'misconduct' and 'malpractice' may, viewed in isolation, seem to be assertions of provable fact, or claims supported by unstated facts, viewed in their context, these statements amount to the opinions and beliefs of dissatisfied clients about their attorney's work," Saxe wrote.
Even if the statements were factual, they are protected by absolute attorney-client privilege, Saxe said. He cited the First Department's own 2007 decision in Sexter & Warmflash v. Margrabe, 38 AD3d 163, 174, which explicitly held that a letter terminating an attorney was privileged.
Finally, Saxe said, the letters were subject to qualified privilege "as communications upon a subject matter in which both parties had an interest."
The defendants were represented by Brian Bluver, the Response Companies' chief counsel.
Bluver said he believed that Frechtman was essentially using a defamation claim as an attempt to get attorneys' fees he thought he was owed.
If the court had accepted Frechtman's claim, Bluver said, it would have undermined attorney-client privilege.
Frechtman represented himself along with Diane Kaplan. In an email, Frechtman said he was giving "serious consideration" to seeking leave appeal.
He claimed Gutterman's accusations were simply a way to avoid paying the legal fees, noting that even as Gutterman and the defendants terminated his services in three cases, they asked him to keep working on a fourth case.
"Given the fact that I was specifically asked to continue to represent those clients on one pending lawsuit—even while being discharged as their attorney on three others—I believed when I received those letters and I still believe, that the false, baseless and denigrating attack upon my professional competence, abilities and honesty was simply a ploy whose true purpose is to evade full payment of the substantial sum of money that I am owed," he said.
Frechtman, who was admitted to the bar in 1952, said no other client in his entire career has ever accused him of incompetence or dishonesty, and he fears the ruling could set a bad precedent.
"In my view, the court's decision gives clients carte blanche to disparage their attorney in order to create a reason to avoid, delay or reduce their obligations for the payment of bona fide billing for legal services, expenses and disbursements, simply by expressing their 'opinion' that the attorney has acted dishonestly or incompetently, regardless of whether there is any legitimate basis for the accusation," he said.

Johannesburg, June 18 (ANI): A substance from the root of a flower may help treat prostate cancer, according to Germany's cancer-science council.
Experts at the University of Goettingen said that in laboratory tests, tectorigenin, obtained from roots of Belamcanda chinensis, stopped cancer cells growing and in animal tests it had slowed the spread of the cancer.
The lily-like flowers of Belamcanda chinensis are grown in temperate-region gardens as a perennial. In China, it grows wild.
The plant is used in Korean and Chinese medicine, reports 24.com.
Scientists Peter Burfeind and Paul Thelen will conduct further studies.
They say it might also be possible to use the substance as preventive medicine to stop men developing the cancer in the first place. (ANI)

England duo Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett will miss the remainder of the one-day international series against New Zealand through injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board has announced.
Jordan has a side strain while his fellow all-rounder Plunkett has thigh strain which will see both both players sit out the final three ODI games against the Black Caps.
An ECB statement added of their expected recoveries: "Both players will now undergo a rehabilitation programme and their response to treatment over the coming days will determine the timescale for a return to competitive cricket."

Hi Guys,
Well here I was doing some research online for work, no apps open except the browser (FF3 or Epiphany, can't remember) and two terminals running htop. Suddenly I notice htop display CPU usage to 100% ... there is a process "whiptail" running, killing my CPU at 100% .. htop couldn't kill it (apparently invoked by root, right?), so I had to manually sudo kill it. There was also a --nocancel parameter I noticed, but can't remember what else I saw. Then after this process was dead my CPU immediately jumped to 100% again, but this time it was dpkg that started doing something. I didn't realize what it was doing at first -- I figured it was doing an automatic update and went back to work. Then suddenly I lost network connection while simultaneously realizing that I have auto-updates turned off (only notifications are on). Taking a closer look at the dpkg process in htop, I noticed that it was un-installing a whole bunch of programs. Before I knew it, half my system is gone and none of the icons on my desktop work. I quickly shut-down and rebooted the system, but everything was gone. No gnome, no nothing. startx does nothing too, says something about X being mis-configured. I went in recovery mode and tried a few things, but it was no use because everything was gone anyway. I am writing this from the Live CD.
I have to work, so I am contemplating if I should reinstall everything or leave the system the way it is now so I can extract any useful info to post here.

Cliffs: the modern world would be a better place if everyone switched from IE.
You're assuming that the public benefits from a wide variety of browsers being commonly used.
In the 90s when downloading a new browser was very time consuming, there was a significant barrier to people switching browsers. That's no longer the case. Yet IE still dominates.
That tells me that the public in general doesn't perceive IE's dominance as a problem. They aren't looking for something else because IE suits their needs well enough.
The downsides of more variety are higher support costs, and more confusion by less adept computer users. Most computer users just want to sit down at a PC and have it work they way they are used to having it work. They see variety as a hinderance, not a benefit as long as what they have works reasonably well.
Users who want a choice already have one. This "solution" is specifically aimed at people who don't know one browser from another. They very likely don't care a bout having a choice. They just want their computer to work like everyone else's so it's easier for them to get help when they have questions.
There are significant downsides to government intervention. The government should stay out of such things unless there is a clear need.
Since it is relatively quick and simple to switch browsers or have multiple choices on the same machine, the only real barrier to other browsers, is that customers just don't care to switch because there isn't a significant benefit to switching.
Personally I like Chrome and used Firefox for years before I tried Chrome. However, I don't see a big advantage to using either over IE, I just like them a little better.
One benefit that is also apparent is that MS now knows what happends if they mess with the EC.
I remember Neelie kross expressing shock that Microsoft had ignored a ruling by the EC "as the first company ever". They certaintly seemed to have learned their lesson now.
I am not saying this is the EC piling on the revenge, I don't think it is, but I certaintly see MS following the rulings now, to the letter and the spirit.
Not to say that I don't think this ballot is a good thing, I think it is.
Yes. I am convinced that the more diversely the internet is used, the better it gets. Variety is key IMO.
There are also upsides to government intervention. Like in this case. Even if it should have intervened much earlier.
Are you being purposely dense? Because 'dad' or any other clueless user won't accept ANY extra work to fix something that "works" - even if there are better alternatives. Thus they will NEVER go to the extra trouble of locating a download for an alternative broser, getting it and installing it. Lots of work when - well how much better can they be than the thingie I'm already using and which I don't have to mess with at all?
IE being preinstalled is a massive, massive, massive advantage with the "mom and pop" segment of the userbase. If you don't get this you are either ignoring it on purpose or really, really dense. I'm sorry. And repeating your "point" again and and again over 3 pages doesn't make it any better.

Frequently asked questions and answers about Releasing Sterile males.
1. How does releasing sterile male mosquitoes stop the spread of viruses like dengue and Zika?
Our research is wholly focused on the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The female Aedes aegypti is responsible for transmitting the dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses.
It is found in tropical regions in more than 120 countries. It is not a native mosquito to Australia but arrived from Africa over 100 years ago. If we can remove the mosquito we can remove the threat of it spreading these diseases.
2. How does the technology - the Sterile Insect Technique - work?
The success of our work is dependent on the sterile males we release finding a wild female Aedes aegypti (competing with wild Aedes aegypti males) to mate with. If the sterile male mates with a wild female, the eggs she lays wont hatch, so limiting the number in the next generation of Aedes aegypti. If we get our numbers right this would mean that the Aedes aegypti population would quickly die-off.
3. What method of sterilisation are you considering for the male mosquitoes?
We have looked into a number of methods of sterilisation and the most compelling method is through the use of a natural bacterium called Wolbachia. This bacteria naturally occur in many insect species but not in Aedes aegypti. The Aedes aegypti mosquito can be infected by Wolbachia (originally through microinjection of eggs in the lab, the bacteria is than passed to the next generation in the lab rearing process) and when males carrying this bacteria mate with females that do not have the Wolbachia bacteria, the eggs she lays will not hatch.
4. When do you plan to carry out these studies?
We hope to carry out initial small studies to begin testing our tools in communities in the Innisfail area mid 2017; this will involve releasing sterile male mosquitoes. If this small study is successful we will plan for a larger study towards the end of 2017.
5. Where else in the world is this sterile insect technology (SIT) being developed and tested?
Researchers around the world are currently trialling this Wolbachia-based sterile insect technology including in the US, China, Malaysia and Singapore.
6. How does this research differ to the work being carried out by the Eliminate Dengue project team in Queensland?
The work that the Eliminate Dengue project has been carrying out in Queensland since 2011 is not identified as sterile insect technology (SIT) as that project's method releases male and female mosquitoes that replace the wild mosquito population with mosquitoes that are unable to transmit diseases. The SIT method aims to reduce or remove mosquitoes that transmit diseases by releasing sterile male mosquitoes only.
The Eliminate Dengue method is showing great promise in controlling dengue outbreaks in Queensland and the project is successfully expanding its activities globally and considering ways to take its method to large cities. We believe it too may benefit from the technologies Verily will be developing with CSIRO and other international partners.

text: By Lt. j.g. Bryan Wagonseller, Naval Ice Center Public Affairs Top officials from the U.S. Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Coast Guard signed a Memorandum of Understanding July 21, reaffirming their support of the National Ice Center (NIC). The NIC, an interagency office jointly operated by the Navy (Naval Ice Center), NOAA and Coast Guard, provides strategic and tactical ice analyses and other services that aid the navigation of U.S. vessels in ice-infested waters. "Today's update to our original working agreement, first signed in 1995, means that the National Ice Center can continue monitoring the waterways for potentially dangerous ice and help guide ships out of harm's way for the safe, efficient delivery of goods," said retired Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr., Ph.D., Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "The NIC is a model of interagency cooperation," said Rear Adm. Steven Tomaszeski, oceanographer/navigator of the Navy. "The Center's high-quality strategic and tactical ice services support U.S. Navy units at sea and enhance our warfighting capabilities. The synergy between the Navy, NOAA and Coast Guard provides safe navigation for military and commercial shipping along sea lanes, and the international science communities derive great benefit from the polar science and technology, ice analysis and ice-charting products." "The Coast Guard is proud to reaffirm its support for the National Ice Center," said Rear Adm. Dennis Sirois, assistant commandant for Coast Guard Operations. "The free flow of commerce and the demands of securing our nation require constant awareness of threats in the maritime domain, and the National Ice Center plays a critical role in pinpointing and tracking natural obstacles before they become a hazard to navigation." Located in Suitland, Md., the NIC uses satellite imagery to monitor lakes and oceans for sea ice movement and developing icebergs and ice sheets. Primary users of the NIC's products include the Navy submarine force, Military Sealift Command, Coast Guard icebreaker fleet, NOAA, National Science Foundation, NASA, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force. The staff of the NIC is currently composed of 39 Navy officers and enlisted personnel, 11 Navy civilians, five NOAA civilians, one NOAA Corps officer, one Coast Guard petty officer, and various contract personnel. In the 1950s, the beginnings of the NIC were established by an interagency agreement between the U.S. Navy Fleet Weather Central (now known as the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command) and the Weather Bureau (now known as NOAA's National Weather Service) to maximize weather forecasting resources and reduce duplication of effort. After USS Nautilus (SSN 571) performed the first submarine crossing of the North Pole in 1958, the need for ice reconnaissance services for maritime navigation was realized, and this interagency was tasked with the responsibility to perform it. Subsequent evolutions of this interagency collaboration occurred with the creation of the Navy/NOAA Joint Ice Center in 1976 and finally culminated with the creation of the NIC in 1995 when the Coast Guard became a partner.

The Anti-Mascot Trailer (2015)
The mid-'80s were a terrible time for the San Francisco Giants. In 1984, the team lost 96 games and finished in last place — but no one on the roster had as horrible an experience as Wayne Doba. That season, the 33-year-old actor was selected to play the Giants' first mascot. Well, not really a mascot, but an anti-mascot. The "Crazy Crab" was conceived as a satire of the mascot craze of the late '70s that produced now-iconic characters like the Phillie Phanatic. The Giants' Crab was not impressive to look at, and that was on purpose (they intentionally gave him a shabby foam costume and even went so far as to film a commercial in which then-manager Frank Robinson attempted to strangle him). When the Crab made his debut at Candlestick Park, the PA announcer would encourage fans to boo. It was an experiment unlike anything in professional sports

I looking for a decent video camera for under $1000. It would be used mostly for wakeboarding.

If you could pick any camera for under a grand what would you get and why?
Thanks.
I decided the Canon Optura 20. Just could not justify anything more. I think I got all I wanted.
I have the Optura 10, and i love it. The only diferences between the 10 and 20 is that the 20 has a larger lcd screen, and a built in light, so it has a better night mode. The camera has manual focus which is nice for when autofocus is gettign confused. It also has sharper video and cleaner sound than other consumer mini dv cameras i've used. I highly reccoment the Canon Optura 10 or 20.
the optura is beautiful its got a coloer imaging somethin or rother that makes its image appear to be 3ccd for a grands its a steal
I would recomend the sony TRV 900. It is a 3 chip camera and you could probably pick one up for just a little under $1000 and maybe even $800 on ebay.
I'll second Brinks on the TRV900, a camera I had for a long time (and sold for $200 less then I paid 2 years later!). There are many products out there that various companys just get "right" that somewhat withstand the advances in technology. I would consider the 900 to be in that class. Plus when you start editing and dump your work to DVD or compress it for the web you'll really see the benefits of a true 3ccd cam.

Black Cats to assess Jones
Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones is heading back to England for further tests on a knee injury.
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 04/06/08 12:41pm
Kenwyne Jones is heading back to Sunderland for further tests on a knee injury sustained in action for Trinidad and Tobago.
The 23-year-old suffered suspected ligament damage in a clash with England goalkeeper David James during a friendly international on Sunday.
Jones underwent a scan in the Caribbean on Monday but Sunderland have now requested that he be allowed to return to England.
A club spokesman said: "Kenwyne is returning to Sunderland and the nature of his injury will be assessed by the club's medical team."
Some reports have claimed the striker will be sidelined for up to two months, meaning he may have to sit out the start of the new Premier League season.
Meanwhile, Sunderland have announced their retained list for the start of the new season and confirmed the departures of Ian Harte, Stephen Wright, Andy Cole and Stanislav Varga.
The quartet were all told by manager Roy Keane last month that they did not figure in his plans for the future and are now free to find new clubs.
Yorke in talks
Dwight Yorke remains in talks with the club over a new deal as he reaches the end of his current contract, with Keane eager to keep the 36-year-old at the Stadium of Light.
Liam Miller has been retained despite being placed on the transfer list in February for poor timekeeping, as he fought his way back into the side towards the end of the season.
Jonny Evans has returned to Manchester United following the end of his loan spell but Keane has made no secret of his desire to bring the Northern Ireland international back to Wearside.
Spanish midfielder Arnau, who spent last season on loan at Falkirk, will return to the club for the start of pre-season training, while Graham Kavanagh, Russell Anderson and Greg Halford, who were also sent out on loan, remain under contract.
New Zealand trip
Keane is currently in New Zealand as part of his Uefa Pro Licence coaching course and he has been spending time with All Blacks coach Graham Henry.
Henry said: "Everybody knows him and respects him for what he has done in sport and it's great that he chose, along with (Wellington Phoenix coach) Ricki Herbert, to be here with the All Blacks as part of their requirements for their final coaching certificate in football."

After Carmelo Anthony returned to the lineup for the New York Knicks on Thursday night to help give the Knickerbockers an impressive win over one of the NBA's best in the San Antonio Spurs, New York had the chance to earn yet another impressive win over a daunting Western Conference opponent.
The Knicks kept pace with the Houston Rockets all night on Friday, even withstanding a flurry of offense late in the fourth quarter from Rockets star guard James Harden. With less than a minute remaining and the game tied at 100, the Knicks had the ball with the chance to take the lead.
On the first play of the possession, the Knicks wound the shot clock all the way down and got a look from the corner from Beno Udrih; the shot missed. However, Tyson Chandler was there to tip out the rebound that went back to Udrih. With less than 24 seconds on the clock and the shot clock now off, Udrih kicked the ball over to J.R. Smith, more than likely expecting Smith to hold the ball for the last shot.
Smith did not hold the ball for the last shot.
Instead, Smith pulled up from the top of the key, missing his three-point attempt. The Rockets got the ensuing rebound and Aaron Brooks was fouled. Brooks went to the line, sank both of his free throws that were ultimately the deciding points in this game.
Smith's blunder certainly brought back memories of Andrea Bargnani's ill-fated three-point attempt against the Milwaukee Bucks in overtime, though the Knicks won that game. Smith's reasoning behind it certainly doesn't help his case either as he said after the game that he thought that New York was down by two when he took the shot.
When I hear Smith say that he was unaware of the score late in a close game, it really signifies a lack of focus, a lack of discipline, and an air of carelessness. With the way the Knicks have squandered opportunities to turn things around this season and have seemed out-of-sync so often, it really seems that Smith's poor decision (along with Bargnani's) really defines this season for New York.

It looks like "Bombshell," the Marilyn Monroe musical being developed as the show-within-the-show on NBC's "Smash," will not be making the leap from the screen to the stage, as had been predicted. The Broadway-themed musical series returns to NBC for a second season early next year, but any actual opening night remains a distant dream.
"I don't think it will happen at this time," "Smash" choreographer Joshua Bergasse told The Stage. "Everybody is so consumed by the TV series. And as you can see by watching the series, it is hard to get a show to come to Broadway, and it would take a whole other team of people to make that happen. Right now we are just trying to get through [season] two."
The network secured the rights for a Broadway version of the show before "Smash" premiered in February, according to the L.A. Times. Executive producer Steven Spielberg had envisioned "Smash" as a vehicle to develop a new Broadway musical, and the theater pedigree of the rest of the show's cast and creators encouraged rumors of a potential move to the stage.
Neil Meron and Craig Zadan, co-producers of the film adaptations of "Chicago" and "Hairspray," are producers. Creator Theresa Rebeck, who was showrunner for the first season, has written Broadway plays including "Seminar," "Mauritius," and the upcoming "Dead Accounts." Tony winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman ("Hairspray," "Catch Me If You Can") write the show's original music; selections from the first season have been collected on a 13-song soundtrack. NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt, who shepherded the show to TV, produced the musical version of "9 to 5" on Broadway. But Greenblatt warned that making a musical is about more than writing a few original songs.
"No one has thought twice about trying to find the time or energy to develop 'Bombshell' for the stage," Greenblatt told the L.A. Times in April. "It takes several years to write and construct a big Broadway musical, and most of the hard work starts at the script stage before the songs are even conceived."
Bergasse also revealed details of a second musical that will be introduced in "Smash's" second season. Shaiman and Wittman, who are currently working on a stage musical version of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in London, will continue to write music for "Bombshell"—but a new writing team has been hired to craft songs for a rock musical that Bergasse said has a more "downtown feel" and will start Off-Broadway before moving to Broadway.
"Scott and Mark are very busy," Bergasse said. "For them to write two shows for us and 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is a lot."
Jesse L. Martin, Jennifer Hudson, Jeremy Jordan, Nikki Blonsky, Daniel Sunjata, and Sean Hayes have been added to the cast for the second season of "Smash," which will premiere mid-season on NBC.
