Man, 22, jumps to death from Hilton Glendale balcony, police say
May 14, 2013
A 22-year-old man on Monday jumped to his death from the top level of the Hilton Glendale, police said. Witnesses reported seeing the man, who wasn't immediately identified, about 7:30 p.m. on the exterior of the hotel's top level patio near West Glenoaks Boulevard and Arden Avenue, police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. Authorities identitifed the man as Tigran Stepanyan. The man, who was from Glendale and not staying at the hotel, then suddenly jumped off the patio, landing on Arden, Lorenz said.
Local track and field competitors look to shine at CIF Southern Section Division Finals
By Andrew J. Campa,
May 16, 2013
Qualifying to Saturday's CIF Southern Section Track and Field Divisional Championships at Mt. San Antonio College required the local entrants who earned such advancement to turn in very good results at last weekend's divisional prelims all over Southern California. This weekend, however, the bar will be raised from very good to exceptional. Of course, that's to be expected as divisional championships and CIF-Southern Section Masters Meet berths are on the line with the trip to Cerritos College available for the top 12 finishers in the 800-meter, 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter runs and top nine in every other event.
A young couple gone too soon
By Brittany Levine,
May 18, 2013
Beneath a starry sky, Sosé Thomassian and Allen Yekikian held each other on their wedding night, arms looped around hips, eyes locked, for more than 20 minutes so the photographer could capture what would become their favorite wedding photo. Back at the wedding reception in a lakeside Armenian town, the photographer showed off the shot and the crowd cooed. The couple got their wedding, but there will be no first anniversary. About eight months after the wedding, on May 10, Thomassian and Yekikian died in a head-on car crash while on a weekend getaway in Georgia, Armenia's neighbor to the north.
Murder charges filed in violent death of Glendale man
By Veronica Rocha,
May 9, 2013
A 28-year-old Van Nuys man has been charged with the kidnapping and murder of a Glendale man who was run over with a vehicle and shot to death in Sun Valley, authorities said. Hachik Maskovian faces four felony murder-related charges in the death of 33-year-old Joshua West, including that the incident was premeditated and that he was kidnapped during the April 24 incident, according to a Los Angeles County Superior Court criminal complaint. West died of multiple gunshot wounds, but was also cut and suffered blunt force trauma, said Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Ed Winter.
Glendale's real estate market strengthens
By Daniel Siegal,
May 18, 2013
The real estate market in Glendale ticked upward again last month after a brief stall in March, reflecting an ongoing limited number of homes for sale and a multitude of potential buyers, according to the latest real estate report. The median price of a single-family home nudged up 2.4% compared to April 2012, from $625,000 to $640,000, according to statistics compiled by Realtor Keith Sorem with Keller Williams Realty in Glendale. The median price of a condominium increased more dramatically, rising 19.5%, from $266,000 a year ago to $318,000 last month.
DUI patrol in Glendale nets 9 arrests
May 20, 2013
Eight motorists were arrested Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol during a saturation patrol operation, police said. Officers from Glendale police's DUI Enforcement Team stopped 30 vehicles and oversaw 12 field sobriety tests during the patrol, which was from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Of the 30 vehicles stopped, officers arrested seven motorists for alleged drunk driving and one driver for being under the influence of drugs, police said. They also made a felony drug arrest.
News-Press Editorial: Tending the flame of genocide's victims
May 17, 2013
Those tending the flame of those who perished in the Armenian Genocide had a bit of a mixed bag this week. In happy news, Glendale Unified and its teachers' union agreed to make April 24 - the day that commemorates the horror - an official day off. This agreement makes a lot of sense for all involved. Students of Armenian descent have skipped going to class on that day for years, and as public school funding is significantly based on attendance, making the day a holiday of sorts is an elegant end-around of this problem.
Glendale raises reward ante to find Griffith Park hit-and-run driver
By Veronica Rocha,
May 16, 2013
The City Council on Tuesday begrudgingly approved a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the motorist who struck cyclist Damian Kevitt near Griffith Park, maiming him to the point where he lost part of his right leg. Council members approved the reward despite many contending the money would be better spent on traffic safety issues within the city. But Kevitt's mother, Michele Kirkland, said on Wednesday that the reward will help to renew interest in her son's case.
Man allegedly stabbed by brother near Glendale Galleria
By Veronica Rocha,
May 14, 2013
A 19-year-old Los Angeles man was stabbed twice in his arm, possibly by his brother, on Saturday near the Glendale Galleria, police said. The man, whose name wasn't released, told police he was jumped at about 8:32 p.m. and stabbed twice in the left arm by two men, but declined to talk about the incident, according to Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz. A witness, however, reported seeing something different. The witness told police the man was arguing and fighting with his brother inside a van just before officers arrived to the scene.
At least 15 vehicles stolen in Glendale over the past two weeks
By Veronica Rocha, firstname.lastname@example.com
September 9, 2011
At least 15 vehicles and motorcycles have been stolen off Glendale streets in the past two weeks, although police say the figure doesn't necessarily represent a trend. Police officials say they haven't established any leads, or made any arrests in connection with the thefts, which have been occurring at rate of about one a day since Aug. 29. Few details about the thefts and the types of vehicles were released because the cases were under investigation. "As for the methods, number of suspects…it really varies," Glendale Police Sgt. Dave Higgins said in an email.
Sisters arrested in fracas outside Glendale home
By Veronica Rocha,
May 14, 2013
Two sisters who were fighting with each other on Saturday allegedly decided to take their rage out on a police officer by punching and kicking him, officials said. The sisters - Delmi Carranza, 21, and Patricia Carranza, 28 - were fighting and screaming at each other about 7:41 p.m. on the porch of a home in the 600 block of Arden Avenue, according to Glendale police. They were reportedly fighting because the father of Delmi Carranza's baby was allegedly having an affair with her sister.
Police: Men caught with a half-kilo of cocaine
By Veronica Rocha,
June 21, 2012
Two Florida men were arrested this week on suspicion of possessing a half-kilogram of cocaine after they were stopped for talking on a handheld cellphone while driving, officials said. The men - Herwood Barrington Walters, 25, and Courtney Lalor, 28 - were taken into custody about 9:18 p.m. Tuesday on North Central Avenue and Glenoaks Boulevard on suspicion of possessing cocaine for sale, according to Glendale police reports. The pair provided officers with few clues about why they were in Glendale, but police believe "they were probably trying to sell the cocaine," Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said.
Verdugo Views: Kiefer makes a name for himself in mortuary business
By Katherine Yamada
May 9, 2013
A small notice in a 1916 edition of the Glendale Evening News informed readers, "Emil Kiefer, an employee at the White Store, is now working for Pulliam Undertaking Co. He intends to make this his life's work. He is a young man of great energy. He came here from Minnesota two years ago and has made many friends. " But shortly after this notice ran, Kiefer said good bye to his many friends - including a young lady we'll meet later in the story - and left town. He was in the first group of volunteers who responded to the call to fight in the Great War, as World War I was known in those days.

When it comes to exercise, you get out what you put in. So, when you devote a lot of work, you expect fabulous results. But, sometimes, the results of a workout are far from what was expected.
From surprise orgasms to black toes, a number of strange things can happen to the body when put through its paces. These issues often occur when the exercise is intense, when it lasts a long time and is atypical — running a marathon, for example.
Many of the problems stem from simple nutrient depletion, as the body uses up fuel to sustain a tough work out.
"When the body is stressed, it reroutes resources, such as blood flow, away from non-vital systems," said Dr. Michelle Wolcott, assistant professor and sports medicine specialist at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "Muscles, particularly the heart and leg muscles, use up all available nutrients and oxygen."
Because of this, loading up on electrolyte salts or carbohydrates for energy won't solve the problem, and a person can go into a state of hyponatremia, in which the body cannot even process any nutrients.
Marathon and long distance runners seem to endure the bulk of odd side effects from physical exertion, although almost any activity done to excess can have adverse effects, from weight lifting to sports.
In general, however, weird phenomena resulting from intense exercise are out of the ordinary. It is rare that the average gym-goer would experience these problems.
"It's a distinct minority [of people] with a personality type that is probably very different," said Dr. Linn Goldberg, professor of medicine and head of the Division of Health Promotion and Sports Medicine at Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland.
People who are adversely affected by a hard workout also often have underlying problems, such as a history of migraines, that make them susceptible to further issues.
Experts say the best way to exercise without side effects is to do it often, build intensity slowly and maintain proper nutrition.
"A little can be good, a lot does not mean it's better," Goldberg said.
The following is a list of some of the strange things that happen to the body during exercise.
Coregasms: Crunches, hanging leg raises and other moves that tense and relax muscles surrounding the pelvis and the pelvic floor muscles seem to be the best triggers for coregasms."Orgasm is a physiological response," said Bean Robinson, associate director of the Program in Human Sexuality at the University of Minnesota Medical School. "We know some women who can have orgasms without any physical stimulation, just mental stimulation. … It makes perfect sense to me that someone could have an orgasm [while exercising.]"In addition, the pleasure hormones — endorphin and dopamine — that are released during exercise may contribute to coregasms. Black toes: "Runners tend to get black toe nails," said Dr. Lewis Marham, medical director for the ING New York City Marathon and a columnist at runnersworld.com. "They can hurt and it's also embarrassing."Black toes, known as sublingual hematomas, occur when capillaries break and blood pools under the skin's surface. This often occurs in the toes because of the force of running or walking long distances. The problem is compounded if the runner is wearing shoes that are not big enough, causing the toes to constantly bang against the inside front of the shoe. Incontinence: Incontinence can be an embarrassing but common problem among long distance runners.Often called runner's trots or runner's runs, the problem is essentially "increased diarrhea as you are running," Marham said.There are two reasons runners can experience diarrhea during a long race. First, the pounding, up-and-down movement of the body moves wastes faster in the gut. Second, at a certain exertion point, the body redistributes blood flow to better support the brain, heart and leg muscles, leaving the stomach, kidneys and other organs without as much support."Tissues break down with trauma, even mild trauma when it is repetitive," Goldberg said. "Muscles, tendons [and] blood vessel trauma occurs."
Reduced blood flow to non-vital organs also explains why people often can't stomach food following an intense workout and will throw up if they try to eat.No Period: "Women can exercise as much as they want, as long as they fuel their body appropriately," Hoch said, and that means plenty of calories.It sounds like the ideal advice: eat, workout and be merry.But not fueling enough can have serious consequences. And exercising too long and too hard without replenishing lost calories can keep many women from having a normal menstrual cycle.In fact, without proper nutrition, the luteinizing hormone pulse responsible for kicking off ovulation — the beginning of the menstrual cycle — can be decreased. This results in missed periods and a body clock that is thrown off.
"You need that pulse in order to ovulate," Hoch said. "If you don't ovulate, you don't have a menstrual period."
Missing periods can also put women at risk for developing osteoporosis and cardiovascular problems. It seems counterintuitive that exercise can reduce bone density, but without nutrition and estrogen — another hormone that can get depleted — bones can become weak, even with physical activity.Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis: Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a condition in which, during physical exertion, the body's mast cells release histamine, the molecule responsible for the swelling and itching associated with an allergic reaction, according to a 1992 paper in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine.People with EIA can have an allergic reaction, including hives, trouble breathing, nausea and wheezing, to even small amounts of exercise. Hormonal Imbalance: "With shorter bouts of activity, hormones that strengthen us (like testosterone) can be increased," Goldberg said. "However, with excessive exercise, testosterone drops."While hormonal imbalances due to excess exercise is not a huge problem, it can result in problems, including loss of bone density, decreased sex drive and feeling weaker or less energetic. Goldberg said this probably affects a small group of people with a specific, likely obsessive, personality type.Lack of nutrients is the underlying problem of a hormonal imbalance as intense exercise can deplete the body of the raw materials necessary to make hormones. Migraines: Sore muscles and aching feet after a workout is one thing. But a splitting headache is altogether different. And, for some, a bad headache is just part of their exercise routine."The physiology of exercise can promote the physiological changes in the brain that cause a migraine headache," said Dr. Joel Saper, founder and director of the Michigan Headache and Neurological Institute.This can be true of almost any kind of physical exertion, from aerobic exercise to weight lifting to sex.Beyond the exertion of exercise, straining muscles, particularly in the neck, are a classic trigger for a migraine or other headache. Pain in the neck muscles, joints and nerves can all translate to an intense headache.

Spalding Park Town Forest Loop
A nice mix of short climbs, singletrack and just riding along. Near Nashua, NH
From MP's sister site: MTB
OverviewLocated in Nottingham, NH, Pawtuckaway State Park is the southernmost of the major climbing destinations in the state. Hundreds of glacial erratic boulders line the forests while the assorted and scattered crags stay mostly out of sight. The three small mountains of Pawtuckaway are the remains of a ring dike formed by an extinct volcano and the rock is a smooth but fully textured granite of a different quality than the climbing elsewhere in this so-called Granite State. While the park is known primarily for its bouldering, which happens to be some of the best in the country, crack climbs of exceptional quality abound on the numerous crags alongside slabs and difficult face climbs. Between boulder problems and routes there are nearly a thousand climbs to be enjoyed, put up over the years by the likes of Dave Graham, Tim Kemple, Rio Rose, Brett Meyers, John Sierois, Dean Potter, Charlie Bentley, and dedicated crews from UNH. In short, there�s plenty here for everyone. Grab a pad or a rack and come hone your skills before you unleash them on the world, or for those of you who aren't local this is a great place to take a road trip to. As with all New Hampshire crags, it is best in Autumn but fun always. Trad and Top Roping: The Lower Slabs, Upper Cliff, Devils Den and more offer great trad climbing, although you wouldn't know it on a busy day 'cause all you can see are top ropes. The Upper Cliff and Lower Slabs are very popular for summer camps and family top roping outings, so venture out to one of the other crags if things are taken. A 5-10 minute walk will get you to either the Lower Cliff, the Dome, or the Ridgeline/Small Walls. The trad climbing here is short but sweet, 50 feet on average, though Devil's Den offers longer pitches as well as a few multipitch climbs (and fewer crowds). Crack Master Dean Potter learned much of his crack climbing skill jamming the perfect cracks of P-way and so could you. Sport Climbing: There are a few bolted sport routes in Devil's Den, the Microwave Area, and at the Yellow Dog Wall with difficulties ranging from 5.6 to 5.13. The age and quality of the bolts are questionable, some are brand new, some are decades old, so be wary. Getting ThereGetting to the park is easy...Take exit 5 off of Rt 101 in Raymond NH, then follow signs, however, none of the climbing areas are accessed via the State Park entrance. Bug WarningThe black flies and mosquitoes of Pawtuckaway don't mess around. They are out for blood and they will come after you like you killed their mother (and you may have on another trip.) Bring bug dope, long sleeves, pants, hats, hoods, and a shotgun to fend them off if you come in the spring or early summer. Fall is the time to be here, and by the time the kids are back in school the crowds at the popular crags and the bugs have gone away and the park is yours.

We all know that preventing flea infestation in our pets is important to their health, but did you also know that it is just as important for yours as well? In this edition of Pet Pointers, Lisa Chelenza looks at the human benefits to flea control.
"Tapeworm can cause an infection of the intestines and basically when they inhabit the intestines they are eating all of the nutrients the animals are eating and trying to absorb themselves. So it can cause GI symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss. It is easily spread by fleas. It something that can be easily diagnosed with a fecal sample at your regular vet but can cause chronic symptoms if it goes unnoticed for a long period of time," said Dr Maureen Luschini, veterinarian.
If that's not enough, there are many other reasons to do our best to prevent a flea infestation. They crawl and bite, which can start you and your pets scratching at the skin, creating open wounds that can become infected. Some pets and people are also allergic to flea bites and can develop a nasty rash. Fleas also can transfer bacteria, like Bartonella, aka Cat Scratch Fever.
You have heard the expression an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and in this instance it is absolutely true. Flea and tick control can seem expensive but it is money well spent to keep you and your pets happy and healthy.

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Endrit was a fantastic tour leader. Always happy and smiling, a font of knowledge and very organised. I also have to give a special mention to our driver Fatir too for his excellent driving (especially around all the hairpin bends!) and he was willing to do anything for our group.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Make sure you remember your swimming costume so you can take advantage of the hot springs at Benja and swimming in the sea.
Do you have anything else to add?
Go now before everyone else finds out what an amazing country Albania is.

You get your $$$ worth!
By TJ
from Brownsburg, Indiana
I received this beautiful media / electric fireplace a couple of days after ordering - the box was beat up but there was not even one scratch on the product. Complete assembly took one hour for two of us. Very straight forward on putting this together. The finished product is beautiful and functional. The color is a deep rich red hue and there is plenty of room for all your components and movies. I looked at less expensive options but when it came down to it, the reviews on this product and ElectricFireplacesDirect.com could not be beat. My decision was the correct one.

Gave this as a Christmas gift for daughter and son in law. They love it. Said it was easy to set up. Keeps the room warm with a realistic flame. Perfect addition to their basement den. Gives just the right ambiance. Price was great as well as delivery being fast. The grandkids also love it!!!!
By Brandi

This piece is gorgeous! The product is darker stain than shown on site but I still love it. The heat settings are great and I love the remote option. The flame is not as realistic as the other electric fireplace I have but that is a minimal con to this wonderful piece of furniture.

The drug industry is comprised of companies that produce and sell chemically and/or biologically derived remedies used to cure disease or improve a patient's health. It is considered a defensive industry, because consumers typically continue to purchase the drugs even in times of economic distress. The industry is highly competitive, being dominated by a handful of large, multi-product, international, name-brand pharmaceutical companies. That said, the group also contains many small biotech companies, mostly unprofitable, that are attempting to develop a novel drug or two. The task of a drug company is to create a drug, obtain approval to sell it, and then sell it to make a profit.
Research and Development
The development process is multi-year in duration, with overall R&D expenditures ranging from $500 million to $2 billion for a drug reaching approval. Too, there is no guarantee that the work will produce a commercially successful product. Larger companies have many candidates in various stages of development, in the hope that one or more of them will obtain approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Smaller companies may have only one drug in development, making the venture especially risky.
Drug Pipeline
The drug pipeline refers to the portfolio of drugs that a company is developing. It is commonly described according to the approval stage that each of the prospective drugs has reached. Investors place more value on drugs that are likely to be approved by the FDA in the near future than they do for drugs that are in an exploratory stage.
In addition, a pipeline that contains multiple drug candidates, that are in differing stages of development and targeted at a range of illnesses, tends to be viewed more favorably, since the structure works to increase the odds of regulatory approval and, hence, profitability.
Drug Approval Process
This multi-year process is highly regulated. It begins with pre-clinical animal trials, which determine if the drug is safe enough to be given to humans. An IND (Investigational New Drug ) application is then filed with the FDA to obtain permission to begin testing the drug on humans. Once the application is approved, clinical trials begin.
In Phase I trials, the drug is taken by healthy volunteers for a short period, to ensure that it is safe for human ingestion, to learn more about how the drug is broken down in the body (metabolized), and to determine how long the drug stays in the blood stream (half-life).
Phase II requires that the drug be tested in sick patients, to determine if it is effective (efficacy), to obtain more information about the drug's side effects (safety), and to determine the correct dosage and dosing schedule (e.g., 10 mg once per day or 20 mg once per day).
In Phase III, the drug is tested in a large number of sick patients, with some trials using up to 5,000 patients. This phase usually contains a control group that receives a placebo, and can take several years to finish. The objective in Phase III is to prove that the drug is effective (it works) and safe (limited side effects).
Assuming a successful completion at clinical trial, a NDA (New Drug Application) or BLA (Biologics License Application) is submitted to the FDA. The application contains data from preclinical and clinical trials, how and where the drug will be manufactured, and a proposed label indicating how the drug is to be used. At this point, the FDA can approve the drug, reject it, or request more information.
Branded Drugs
Once approved, a drug is given a "street name" and commercialization begins. Large companies (Big Pharma) spend considerable amounts on advertising and distribution, and often have large sales forces that promote their drugs to physicians to convince them to prescribe the drug. Branded drugs are protected by patents, which sustain profit margins that offset the expenditures required during the expensive R&D and drug approval process.
Generic Drugs
These copy-cat versions of branded drugs appear when a branded drug's patent protection expires or when the patent is legally invalidated by a competitor. Generic drugs offer equivalent efficacy, but are much less expensive largely because the generic drug company has little R&D expense. Generic drugs present savings to consumers, and are being encouraged by pharmacy benefit management companies as a primary means to reduce healthcare costs.
Investment Considerations
Investors must examine a number of factors. The revenue potential of each drug or drug candidate is impacted by the size of the target market (the extent of a disease), competition (alternative remedies already on the market, or others about to obtain approval), and a drug's patent expiration (at which time profitability typically drops sharply).
The drug development pipeline also must be examined, because it represents potential future revenue and earnings streams. Investors are encouraged to review the pipeline for its breadth, as well as for the timing of possible new drug approvals. Because of the difficulty in judging whether a new drug will meet the rigorous approval requirements, particular attention should be paid to whether there are drug candidates in each of the various approval phases, or if commercial success is solely dependant on approval of a single drug.

All eyes will be on Omaha this weekend as the 2012 College World Series gets underway.
The field is set, and some of the usual suspects are back again. The SEC leads the way with three teams, including South Carolina, gunning for its third consecutive national championship.
Now that we know who's in, what are they swinging? Here's a look at the baseball bats that all eight teams will be using.
UCLA, Arkansas, Florida — Easton
These three teams use the Easton Power Brigade Series.
Easton designed the Power Brigade with the idea that not all batters bat alike — some are power hitters, some are contact hitters, some fall somewhere in the middle. The Power Brigade is a series of eight bats, each balanced and weighted to compliment a certain hitting style, just like wood bats in the pros.
Florida State, Arizona — Louisville Slugger
The Wildcats and 'Noles use Louisville Slugger's 2012 lineup, which includes the Exogrid, Omaha and Z-1000.
The Exogrid is famous for it's ultra-stiff composite handle, designed in a shock-absorbing grid pattern with an stiffness-enhancing internal sleeve. The Z-1000 is tuned for maximum barrel flex, and the Omaha is a familiar name around the CWS as it's the latest in a long line of wildly successful Omaha bats for Lousiville Slugger.
South Carolina, Kent State — Rawlings
The Golden Flashes and the two-time defending champ Gamecocks swing Rawlings, specifically Rawlings' 5150 BBCOR Baseball Bat.
The 5150 has spent a year in the game, and it's a crowd favorite. It has a 4.3/5 rating at Baseball Express, one of our top baseball bats. The Velo features a longer barrel and a stiff handle.
Stony Brook — DeMarini
Stony Brook is the lone College World Series team using DeMarini, whose 2012-2013 lineup of baseball bats includes some familiar names.
The Voodoo is designed with some pretty awesome barrel graphics and a TR3 composite handle for faster bat speed. The CF5 pulls that technology into the barrel, creating a fully two-piece TR3 composite bat. Vexxum utilizes DeMarini's X10 alloy for maximum power with minimal bat weight.
How do they stack up?
Let's have a little fun and compare some of the season statistics in home runs…
Florida's insane home run total for the season puts Easton in front.
- EASTON (UF 75 HR in 65 games; UCLA 23 in 61; UA 38 in 64) — 0.71 HR per game
- RAWLINGS (USC 41 in 62; KSU 43 in 64) — 0.66 HR per game
- DEMARINI (SB 37 in 65) — 0.56 HR per game
- LOUISVILLE SLUGGER (FSU 43 in 63; UA 20 in 60) — 0.51 HR per game

Rimes of the Not-So Ancient Mariner
A Return to the Inner Mind Theater of Mel
Or what happens when writer's block hits at the worst time possible.
Since writer's block has struck me again, haunting me like that my terrible 10th grade school picture, I have decided to bring back the Inner Mind Theater for another go-round. Some of you may think of this as a copout and I will agree with that accusation. It's between that or just smashing they keyboard in frustration and see what happens. So without further ado, here's yet another edition of The Inner Mind Theater of Mel. Lefty: Okay, it's time to get focused and start writing this article. You with me, Righty? (looks around ) Uhh....Righty? Righty: (is singing along badly) LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS! TO DEFEAT! THE HUUUNNNNS! Lefty: Oh come on, Righty! You're a better singer than that. Righty: I don't feel like trying right now. …

San Juan 73
CD (Item 512462) Fania, 1973 — Condition: New Copy
The unearthed debut concert of the Fania All Stars in San Juan, and the first ever concert to be held at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum – a blazing set from the vaults of Fania Records seeing release for the first time ever! The Fania stars at hand for the concert is truly exceptional – with Cheo Feliciano, Bobby Cruz, Hector Lavoe, Ismael Miranda, Ismael Quintana, Pete Rodriguez and many more – and it's hard to believe the set's only now being released! With the ultra iconic Live At Yankee Stadium releases of the mid 70s, perhaps the powers at be thought that this recording would get lost in the shadows, but the set is excellent is and really an unearthed treasure – the Fania All Stars in peak form in front of a huge, appreciative audience! Killer percussion and horns throughout, with passionate group and solo vocals – with titles including "Mi Debilidad" with Ismael Quintana, "Que Rico Suena Mi Tambor" with Ismael Miranda, "El Raton" with Cheo Feliciano, "Pueblo Latino" with Pete Rodriguez, "Mi Gente" with Hector Lavoe, "Soy Guajiro". "Soul Makossa" and "Congo Bongo". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

The John Marshall Harlan Scholars Program at New York Law School is a rigorous academic honors program designed for students who have performed at the top of their law school class. It gives students the opportunity to focus their law school studies, gaining depth and substantive expertise beyond a broad understanding of the law. The program also facilitates the development of relationships among students, professionals in the field, and professors who are interested in the same areas of law.
Students who entered New York Law School in the Fall of 2007 and whose first-year cumulative grade point average places them in the top 15 percent of their class division will be invited to join the Program. Eligible students will be offered a new scholarship award if they have not received one during their first year, or will retain their award if they did receive one during their first year. Participation in the Harlan Program includes required participation in the New York Law School Law Review. Harlan Scholars also will affiliate with one of the Law School's seven academic Centers: the Center on Business Law & Policy, the Center for International Law, the Center for New York City Law, the Center for Professional Values and Practice, the Center for Real Estate Studies, the Institute for Information Law and Policy, or the Justice Action Center.
Students will be asked to indicate their preferences as to the Centers with which they would like to affiliate, and every effort will be made to accommodate those preferences. After a selection process, students will be notified which Center they may join. Students who affiliate with a particular Center will be required to complete certain curricular requirements as prescribed by that Center. The curricular requirements generally include selecting courses from a menu related to the Center's areas of study and a capstone experience in the third or fourth year. Details of each Center's curricular requirements are described in the Program description, the link to which is at the right. Please note that some courses may not be offered every year, and registration materials for each year will have the definitive list.
The Harlan Scholars Program is an academic and professional program which anticipates a high degree of commitment from students, and provides in return a rewarding intellectual experience, the opportunity to develop an impressive professional portfolio, and recognition of high academic achievement. Satisfactory completion of the curricular requirements of the Center with which a student has affiliated, as well as completion of Law Review obligations, and otherwise maintaining academic and disciplinary good standing at the Law School, will culminate in a notation on the student's final transcript after graduation, and recognition at Law School commencement.
For detailed information, please see the complete Harlan Program description and the descriptions of each center, by clicking the links on the right.

December 15 |
In 1936, on this day President of the Republic Manuel Azaña conceded to the inevitable partition of Spain, a decision forced upon him by the Fall of Madrid.
Flugzeugträger Part 10:
Partition of Spain by Ed & Scott PalterThe deployment of a German Volunteer Division had tipped the scales in favour of the Fascists, but the rapid implosion of the Republic had also triggered a French intervention. Mediation then swiftly followed to avoid the outbreak of a conflict between the Great Powers.
Of the Axis partners involved in the conflict, the partition hugely benefitted Benito Mussolini in particular. Early Italian disengagement enabled withdrawal from a messy conflict that could have easily sapped resources at a time when military build-up needed to accelerate. Instead, much needed resoures could be directed towards the development of a formidable Italian Navy, enabling Il Duce to pursue his dream of dominating the Mediterranean sea lanes of "Mare Nostrum" (Our Sea).
This post shares some commonality with the sister articles in the Flugzeugträger thread.

Very poor quality. I have a craftsman 3/8 x 6TPI that was working perfectly, but would not be good for a tight turn. I bought the 1/4 in for a special project figuring for the low cost I would use it only once. It Burned the wood from the first practice cut, no turns or pressure. Would not cut 1 inch without burning. I drove 30 miles and got a better blade - $23 - and it cut perfectly with no burns at all on the same setup. I am returning The craftsman.

I found your personal example very helpful. I'm actually in the process of buying a new computer desk, and wasn't really able to find anything that suited me well. I'll be sure to stop by Fry's again and use your shopping-method to find the "Mig" desk. Thanks! |

| Is this Me?
Steve, nice post. I ask the same sorts of questions to get the "truth" about something I want. I also think that our core values must be in alignment with who we are before we successfully complete this exercise. In my opinion, if core values aren't in alignment with who you are then it's difficult to participate in this type of exercise. In my own experience I've been able to ask the question, "Is this me?" or "Is this who I really am?" and come up with the appropriate answer confidently and calmly. It wasn't always this way. In the past I wasn't able to trust myself to come up with the right answer. I remember reading self-help books and on many occassions I hadn't come up with clear answers. It got me frustrated and I thought the whole self-improvement thing was crap. It wasn't until I began to trust myself that I was able to answer these questions calmly and confidently. In my opinion, trust in your self is the gateway to making decisions. Stephen Martile Stephen Martile Personal Development with NLP |

Thanks, the timing is perfect and your article lets me know I'm on the right track. Last weekend my husband asked me "If I quit my job (that he has been at for six years) and take some time off will you support me"? In less than 60 seconds I said "of course I would support you". My husband is very dependable and has never quit a job without having a job to go to - so I didn't take his comment too seriously. Monday night during dinner he said "I did it...........I handed in my resignation today and gave them two weeks notice, I've quit my job and I'm taking the summer off". Although his company asked if he wanted to take a leave of absense instead of resigning he said "no thanks, I can't see myself here in the future". Wow!! after the initial surprise I was very happy he made the decision. Life is too short to be doing something that doesn't make you happy. Who knows what tomorrow brings, pehaps it will be my turn to take time off but our life is about to change and it took less than 60 seconds. |

I think Steve's idea is great, and it goes right in line with my own default concept. When I talk to people about making decisions, I advise them to ask the same question I ask myself: "What do you want?" I think Steve's concept of asking, "Is this me?" is right along those lines. If something doesn't resonate with you, then you shouldn't do it, no matter how much "sense" it makes! The same could be said for things that don't make sense, though. For instance, when you are considering an unhealthy treat, like a big ol' ice cream cone, or a double scotch on the rocks, ask yourself the same question. "What do I want?" Chances are that you DO in fact want that treat, and having it isn't going to kill you. However, ask yourself the same question, only in follow-up mode: "Do I want to get really (fat, drunk, etc.) by constantly indulging in this practice?" Chances are that as much as you want the "treat," you don't really want the habit. Make decisions accordingly! |

Excellent timing! I've been debating with myself for a couple months whether or not I want to teach group horn lessons to middle school kids again next fall. Well aware of the positives and negatives, as well as a sense of commitment and responsibility, I hadn't yet made the decision to quit. So this morning, prompted by Steve's blog entry, I asked, "Is it me?" The answer is: No. At this stage, I am more effective one-on-one, and I enjoy teaching individual lessons more than group sessions. I realized that I could add 3-4 more private students if I dropped the group lessons, and not only would the hours per week be similar, but I'd make more money and have more control over my schedule. Now that I look at it this way, it's a no-brainer! |

| I disagree
To only think about whether or not a decision "is you" ignores the fact that people change - and sometimes the choices one should make must not be according to who they are but who they would like to be. For example, if a man would like to get married and, in his search, finds the woman he believes to be perfect for him. She, however, is looking for a man who possesses qualities that he does not currently have, but could easily learn (let's say more kindness.) If the man makes a decision of whether to pursue her and a relationship with her based on whether or not doing so "is him" instead of whether or not he can learn and change from that relationship, he make miss the woman that inspires him to change his life. Knowing that woman could teach how to be more kind, through the experiences and challenges that all relationships bring. My point is, I feel we must make a decision based on logic or logical rather than emotion and feeling. In doing do, we can make decisions based on who we would like to become rather than whether or not it's the present you. If we make decision based on the present us all the time, how will we ever stretch ourselves to the future self that we can be? Oh and Steve? i think you got jipped - $600 bucks for a desk? hmmmm. |

Ouch, I can't believe I'm about to disagree with to someone who came to the table with the logic badge on... Ordinarily, I am about as logical and reasonable as they come, to the point where I'm sure it annoys people greatly. However, although looking at the decision making process through a logical lens is a GREAT idea, I don't think that people really "change" very much. Oh sure, we'll pick up and drop habits along the way, but I don't think who we are as individuals ever strays very far from our own personal status quo. If someone needs to learn how to be a certain type of person so that they can fit into any given circumstance (such as a relationship), or so that they can be comfortable with a material possession (such as a desk), then they should not be in that relationship or own that desk. I think that people picking up habits or even personality traits in order to mold themselves to any given situation is nothing more than a dog and pony show. They will still be who they are on the inside, even if the habits or personality traits provide a different "wrapper". |

| Playing devils advocate :) Ok Steve, you have on numerous occasions said you like a challenge. Here is one for you: How does this decision strategy, and your description of youself in the about section fit with your intention to identify with consciousness within your beliefsystem of SR? Will it help or hinder you in your climb through the levels of consciousness? My question is within the context "How are you programming your subconscious mind?". I define your subconscious mind as the level of your mind that takes care of all the stuff you have learned to do so well that you do not have to think about it to do it. This part of the mind follows instructions literally, and are also involved in automatic sorting of all your sensory input into blocks your conscious mind can deal with, that is your filters as you descirbed so humerously in the article 10 Weaknesses of Human Intelligence. These filters are very much involved in how much extrasensory information will filter through in addition to the commonly accepted senses. This definition/context is a very short and weak summary that stems from the study of hypnosis. I was wondering if you have considered the effect of instructing your subconscious mind every time you make a decision with such very clear identity definitions on the physical you on your ability to experiencially and through inner realisation get in touch with the identity of being consciousness itself.... If the data from the field of hypnosis is correct, you are actually hypnotising yourself to identify heavily with your body and ego-personality and recommending that to others as well, while at the same time promoting SR and identification with one all-pervading consciousness. Getting any conflicts out of this? Or maybe less benefit of subscribing SR beliefs than possible? You place high value on being congruent. I do not know you well enough to say if I have spotted incongruency in you with this, and the information you blog about is only a fraction of what goes on with you, I know. But just judging from your writings, this does look like a potential incongruency to me... So I'm posing the question - have you thought about this - and if you have, how do you put it together to protect your congruency? |

Is browsing this forum every day really me? Just kidding. You have to be yourself and get items that reflect who you are. Now, I'm not an overly materialistic person, so I just need a few things that really express who I am. Many marketing agencies sell things to promote a lifestyle. You are not just purchasing our product, but you are also defining yourself. I like how Steve takes an alternative approach by saying, "I know who I am and I am now looking for something which represents that." It is a more proactive approach, rather than the reactive ways most people I've seen. When they see an ad for something that will define them, they go for it. It is this constant searching for identity that has us buying useless junk. I guess the best way to avoid that is already know who you are and buy accordingly. |

Okay...BUT sometimes you have to do something that's 'not' you in order to grow. If I only did things that I felt were me, I wouldn't have stretched my limits and grown as a person. Even today, I try not to pigeonhole myself by saying, "oh that's so not me" (well, within reason). Even when it comes to something as frivilous as fashion I think it's good to venture out now and then and wear something that is NOT you, just to keep yourself from getting in a rut.

It seems a very good idea to make choices in 60 seconds. But I don't really like the example of the desk. Here is what I thought when I read the article : "Oh, Steve says he is very good at making choices and yet he has difficulties choosing a simple thing like a desk. Is he so good actually? Ho well, he seems to apply this method of "is it me?" to buy a good desk. Let's see how it turns out..." Then I cliked on the link to see the desk...and : "Whaaat?! he paid 600 dollars for that?! Well, I am not sure about this method finally. I'll have to test it for myself with little things before doing it with relationships, job, career like he advises. I am not convinced yet." I am skeptic but the good thing is the article made want to try and see. |

The $600 included the 3-piece L-shaped desk, the small drawer cabinet (not really visible in the photo), and the bookshelf. Overall I think that was a fair price for the set. I looked at many desks in the $1000-5000 price range (big sets with a credenza, file drawers, bookcases, etc), and I liked the simplicity of this one the best. I actually spent a lot less than I was planning to. $600 isn't a lot of money to me though, so perhaps the perceived value is a relative thing. For anything that costs less than $1000 or so, I don't really have to consider the price. It's just a question of whether I want it or not. |

| Selling yourself in desk form LOL
Well, I liked this blog! Someone just started a thread on getting bogged down in PD, and I think this comes from getting too "mental" about it all. (Story of my life. My attic was full of ill-fated planner notebooks until I painfully purged them recently.) This 60-second thing is kind of a Focusing sort of approach that takes in your preferences at a more visceral level, seems to me. Cool. Maybe you could write a blog about "trying too hard," or something like that, if you haven't already? 'Course my problem is (thinking out loud):
Real confusin'. Aha (still thinking out loud)...Chiron bridges Saturn and the outer planets, and I am very sensitized to Chiron. Maybe, like Forrest Gump said, I'm a little o' both. This might not translate into desk-buying real soon for me...but thanks for some yeasty thoughts! Megan Quote:

I think the desk looks cool! Anyway, what I do sometimes when making decisions is ask myself "If I was watching myself in 3rd person (like in a movie, or tv show) what would I want the person (me) to do?" It makes the results very interesting and can be quite entertaining at times. |

| notes from a pedantic former Psych major
Great post, nice desk, but just a note on terminology: you are using the term "positive reinforcement" in a slightly different way than it means in a clinical sense. "Positive reinforcement" can be a reward or a punishment, but it implies that you are adding a stimulus (a cookie, an electric shock) to reinforce behavior, while "negative reinforcement" means you take something away (you stop the shock, you remove the cookie). Mmm, cookie.... |

Re: "Idealized version of yourself" I think maybe what we're talking about is our body's sense of our authentic self which is 'speaking' about the desks or whatever. If we trust them, our bodies are capable of giving us a 'readout' of the "chorus of our deeper reality" (as Donald Epstein, DC calls it) that our conscious minds have a hard time wrapping around, since there are often so many disparate elements within us--not to mention all the 'idealized versions of ourselves' foisted on us by others which are knocking about inside us too. This somatic 'readout' includes and transcends our conscious reasoning, it seems to me. In any case, I ran out of filing supplies yesterday and ran in to Office Depot, so I thought, "Hey--desks!" and went back and looked at them while asking, "Is this me?" in my mind, just for an experiment on the fly. Wow, talk about a way of chunking information fast! Absolutely no deliberation necessary! All the desks were obviously and unequivocally 'men' (to me). There weren't any 'woman' desks, much less 'me' desks. I knew this in under a minute, as promised! If I'd had $1000 to spend and was shopping for a desk without looking for a 'me' desk, I might have bought one of those desks, because I would have just been looking for features alone. And then I probably would have felt vaguely uncomfortable with it for years to come for reasons I might never figure out. Interesting! Kudos for a great heuristic, Steve!

| Love it! And, I have a different process that's great
I'm looking forward to trying this. I've used a different process that I've found very useful, especially when deciding between a small number of choices. For example here, I'll take one with three choices A, B, and C. (It's important to do some brainstorming first to make sure you have fully discovered the very best three choices you can. And, one of the choices can be to take more time for brainstorming with other people etc.) Basically, I take one breath and feel how that breath feels in my body. Then, I imagine "living" Choice A, as I take a single breath with that. Similarly with choices B and C. Finally, I take one breath to make a decision. It's always very clear how I want to breath, and therefore how I want to live. BSP: In my work we empower people in the area of finances and life, and we've talked about adding an exercise in this.

In the past I have often used the "is it me" method to make some very quick decisions. However it has often served me poorly. Possibly due to a poor definition of "me", but more likely I didn't really know enough about the things I was deciding. For example I didn't play sports for years because I didn't think it was me, too fast paced, too competitive etc. For various reason's I have gotten quite into fitness and outdoors activities such as cycling and tramping. I really feel that I was missing out all that time, the sports have really helped build my confidence and energy levels. To quote Dave Matthews "If you hold on tight to what you think is your thing you may find your missing all the rest". |

Since I'm a growth-oriented person, anything with a growth element has at least some appeal to me. Consquently, I tend to be drawn to things that are new and different. On the downside I can get quickly bored with the familiar. | |

We hired them to build our computers and now they're hacking them
on February 20, 2013 @ 5:35 am (Updated: 5:49 am - 2/20/13 )A report released in Washington has tracked cyber attacks on 141 companies, mostly American, and the source is not, as you might think, some cabal of alienated teenage keyboard jockeys.
"Our six years of research shows that these hackers are members of the People's Liberation Army's Unit at 63918," reports Grady Summers.
Summers is a vice president with Mendiant, the computer security company that tracked these attacks to a 12 story building in Shanghai's financial district.
The Chinese have vigorously denied it.
Sannon Van Sant translates, "China's foreign ministry spokesperson denied the charge and said China is a victim of cyber attacks from the U.S."
And they have a point. Our side is not unfamiliar with organized cyber attacks on other countries.
As "60 Minutes" reported in 2012, "The first attack using a computer virus called stuxnet was launched several years ago against an Iranian nuclear faciltiy almost certainly with some U.S. involvement."
So there's a little Karma at work here.
But not to worry. Mr. Summers tells France24 that thanks to our huge national debt, China can't afford to turn off our lights.
"In fact China is the (United States') biggest foreign investor so it wouldn't be to their advantage to cripple our infrastructure. The scary thing is - they have that access if they ever wanted to do it."
So, just be vigilant. Remember as you fill your iPhone with apps that control your sound system, your furnace, your garage door that one day, the Chinese military might change your play list, turn up the heat and trap your car. Who thought this would be how they bring us to our knees.
