A Walking Tour of Boston's North End through the Eyes of Hannah Mather Crocker (1752-1829)Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Join Notre Dame University associate professor Eileen Hunt Botting and North End expert Alex Goldfeld for a historic tour of Boston's oldest neighborhood. Hannah Mather Crocker's early nineteenth-century account of the city, Reminiscences and Traditions of Boston (now available from NEHGS), will serve as the tour's basis. Attendees will visit her birthplace, North Square, Old North Church, and the Mather tomb at Copp's Hill Burying Ground — and learn about the North End's place in early America.
Hannah Mather Crocker was the granddaughter of Rev. Cotton Mather and niece of the royal Governor of Massachusetts Thomas Hutchinson. Her Reminiscences chronicle topics ranging from Puritan law to colonial and provincial history; the establishment of Boston's churches; and Boston's economic growth, with a special emphasis on women's work and culture.
The tour will begin at NEHGS at 99–101 Newbury Street at 6:30 p.m. and proceed to the North End by coach. The tour will last one hour and progress at an undemanding pace. Attendees will return by coach to NEHGS, where a book signing for Botting's edition of Reminiscences and Traditions of Boston and Goldfeld's The North End: A Brief History of Boston's Oldest Neighborhood will be held and refreshments served.
Space is limited, so register today! Register online or by calling call 617-226-1226. Please email us for more information. Cost: $25.

In The New York Times: "The Van Dusens of New Amsterdam"
A feature article in the Sunday, July 24, New York Times on the Van Dusen family was based, in part, on research supplied by NEHGS.The multi-page article was written by Alison Leigh Cowan, who made two trips to Boston to use NEHGS resources and interview staff members. Abraham Pieterszen, the Van Dusen family progenitor, was one of Manhattan's earliest settlers. The article recounts Abraham's history and highlights the life stories of several of his more than 200,000 descendants.
In addition, an interactive feature and video traces scores of Van Dusens across the centuries, with photographs, maps, documents and vignettes.
A New Beginning by Lynn Betlock
This issue of The Weekly Genealogist marks a new beginning. With Michael Leclerc's departure from NEHGS, I have become the new editor. I will be assisted by Valerie Beaudrault, who has proofed the enewsletter and contributed the Spotlight column since 2004, and Jean Powers, my colleague in the Publications Department. Over the years Michael did a superb job of developing a clear format and engaging content for The Weekly Genealogist. As the new editor, I'm looking forward to building on the foundation he established as well as introducing some new elements.
I first joined the NEHGS staff in 1995 as sales manager. My position changed in 2001 when I assumed a marketing role. In 2003, I became the managing editor of New England Ancestors, now American Ancestors. I also work on the Great Migration Study Project and other NEHGS publications.
Some of you who are long-term subscribers may remember that I was the enewsletter editor from 2001 until 2004. In fact, when I became the editor of HisGen Highlights (as it was called) in 2001, I was taking over from Michael then, too. As I was writing this announcement, I checked the enewsletter archive for the exact date and found that I'd written the following on September 7, 2001:
"I am pleased to announce that with this issue of HisGen Highlights I am assuming the role of enewsletter editor. I'd like to thank Michael Leclerc, the previous editor, for all the improvements he made to the enewsletter and for the help he has given me during this transition. My work on the enewsletter will be part of my new position as the NEHGS marketing director. Although I have just started this position, I have been with NEHGS since 1995 as sales manager. You may remember me standing behind the table selling books at various conferences or taking your sales order over the telephone. In my new role I am pleased to have the opportunity to spread the word, not only about what we offer for sale, but about our great education programs, magazine and journal, and library and research resources. I am excited about using this enewsletter as a means to keep you informed about NEHGS and its activities as well as news from the larger genealogical community. As time goes on, I would like to solicit your input and content to make this enewsletter into more of a forum for us to educate one another."
Nearly ten years later, as I reassume the enewsletter editorship, I find my words still hold true. I continue to be excited at the prospect of choosing and shaping interesting stories about NEHGS and the genealogical world. I'm looking forward to where The Weekly Genealogist goes from here.

CaptionsOil Slick, Mississippi River delta, Gulf of Mexico
The International Space Station (ISS) observed the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in late July 2010, as part of ongoing observations of the region. When this image was taken, three months after the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, the leak had been plugged for eight days. Water surfaces appear bright and land surfaces appear dark in the image. The stark contrast is due to sunglint, in which the Sun is reflected off water surfaces back towards the astronaut observer on board the ISS. The sunglint reveals various features in the Gulf of Mexico, especially sheens of oil that appear as packets of long bright streaks (image right). Sediments carried by the Mississippi River have a pale beige coloration in this image, with distinct margins between plumes that likely mark tidal pulses of river water into the Gulf of Mexico. A boat wake cuts across one of the oil packets at image top right.
The bright waterways known as the South and Southwest Passes of the tip of the Mississippi River Delta (image center left and lower left) provide passage for ships into the Gulf of Mexico. The section of South Pass shown in the image is 8 miles (13 km) long. This gives a sense of the proximity of the ruined Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which is located only 50 miles (80 km) to the southeast of the imaged area (not shown.) Daily maps of oil distribution produced by NOAA show predicted heavier and lighter oil movement near the Gulf coastline. The map from July 22, 2010, (PDF file) shows that on the day this image was taken from the ISS (July 23, 2010), the north edge of the oiled zone was expected to bank up against the Delta. The observed spread of the surface oil in the approximately 100 days since the explosion highlights the connectivity between the deep-water areas and coastlines of the Gulf of Mexico.

About the Guitar Lesson Plan
Interactive Video Guitar Instruction
Hands down, Tommy Emmanuel is the most charismatic, soulful, accomplished and technically brilliant fingerstyle guitar player walking the planet today.
Tommy is also extraordinarily inventive on the fretboard, which makes learning his songs, and playing them correctly, extremely challenging because it's so difficult to discern exactly what Tommy is doing with both his right and left hands.
TrueFire and technology to the rescue! For the first time ever, Tommy teaches 5 of his most popular tunes and arrangements with interactive multi-angle video software featuring zoom, looping, and angle control!

About Your Instructor
Tommy Emmanuel
Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of Australia's most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans almost five decades and continues to intersect with some of the finest musicians throughout the world. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide.
Tommy's unique style - he calls it simply "fingerstyle" - is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all ten fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that - and more - on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this "fingerpicker" style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans.

The Tarot is one of the most valued and oft-used divinatory tools of modern witches and occultists. The exact origin and purpose of the Tarot are not known; the cards may have evolved out of the Hermetica of ancient Egypt and Greece. Others believed they were fragments of an ancient Egyptian book or the 'Book of THOTH'. The Tarot is two decks within one: a major arcana, which consists of 22 cards, each of which appears to represent an archetype of the human psyche; and a minor arcana, which consists of 56 cards and is the prototype of todays today's ordinary playing cards. Each of the 22 major arcana has its own symbolic meaning. The suits of the minor arcana have numerous correspondences, such as to the elements, the cardinal points, the four letters of the Tetragrammaton, Yod He Vau He, the four seasons, endeavors, emotions and so on.
The Thoth Tarot Card Deck
Aleister Crowley was born on October 12, 1875, and he joined the Hermetic order of the 'Golden Dawn' in 1898, rising rapidly through the grades of the order. Crowley poured the entire contents of his magical mind into his Tarot deck. Neither Crowley nor the artist of the Thoth Tarot Deck, Lady Frida Harris, managed to publish the Tarot deck during their lifetimes. Crowley died 1947 and Lady Harris died in 1962. The Thoth Tarot Deck remained unpublished until 1969. This 80 (two extra renditions of the magus/magician card) card deck is in full living color and comes with a booklet of instructions for use.

Saracens flank Kelly Brown is wary of the threat posed by former team-mate Kameli Ratuvou when they clash with Zebre in Parma on Saturday.
Brown classes the Fiji international as a "game-breaker" ahead of their Pool 3 European fixture.
"They have a very strong squad, with some very experienced forwards, two half-backs that can worry any side, and in Kameli they have a game breaking strike runner," Brown told Saracens.
"He's a handful. A lot of our guys have played alongside him here and know his capabilities, but they have quality throughout their side, and judging by some of the footage we've seen this week, they have threats throughout their team."
Brown added: "We have discussed Zebre, but we haven't obsessed over them - we will go into this game like we do any other, and that means trying to impose our game on the opposition.
"It's great to be back playing in Europe; going to places like at Parma can really test the character of a squad.
"In many a game I have been classed as the underdog, so I know how dangerous a team like Zebre can be - Italian sides are always a tough proposition so we are going there preparing for a huge test.
"Last time we played an Italian side in the Heineken Cup I dislocated my fibula so lets hope I come back in better state this time."

Hm. I think you must be thinking of someone else. You might be thinking of Lore or someone else who is warm and fuzzy. Ion perhaps? I'm not a big believer in the concept that, if you make it harder, the "lowest common denominator" shall rise. A fair example of this is my view on LFR/Normal/Heroic raids. LFR should be the "come see content" version and drop loot that is on par with heroics and not identical in appearance to raid drops. Normal should be the everyman "challenge" that will be a pretty rigorous test of 80% of the population. Heroics.... should be unabashedly difficult, unforgiving, and never be nerfed, no compromises.... a true "competitive mode" for the truly hardcore to test themselves against.
@ Mwaka
I'll agree with you on some of this. It's pretty retarded when you have the water dungeon which has a grand whopping 3... maybe 4 bosses..... and then you have HoO..... with what.... 7 bosses and 4 "mini" bosses. Grim Batol.... mixed feelings. I usually smoke the mobs with the drakes pretty well with my groups, though, I have seen some runs/pulls there that kinda suck. I actually like 3 of the 4 bosses there because, to me, they are almost like 5-man "raid" bosses in difficulty (or were anyway). That was part of why I liked the troll dungeons.
I agree with some points. If trash is going to be "meaningful".... difficult to take down..... then you need to scale the quantity down. If the trash will not require a ton of brainpower to tackle, then kick up the numbers (as far as amounts) some. Some trash pulls are honestly harder than some bosses. I'm "almost" ok with that. I don't like mindless heroics. Again.... I LIKE heroics that are kind of like "mini-raids" in difficulty. There are honestly times when I'd rather gouge out an eye than raid. Getting the group of 10 of us to just throw ourselves against chain bosses (Dragonsoul anyone?),,,,,, meh. The "trash adds" in DS are total fluff, for example. That whole raid is really just chain boss pulls, as opposed to Firelands where, say, with Shannox..... you actually cleared out your battlespace.
By the way, I have a love/hate relationship with Halls of Reflection. The gauntlet at the end is one of my favorite 'encounters' in that it's somewhat dynamic compared to a lot of other encounters...... but I have run with some HORRIBLE groups in there. My worst run was a 4 hour trip.... and that was because I was chewing my guildmates' butts telling them I'm not quitting until they unf**k themselves and do things right.
I like some of your ideas though (particularly a challenging 7-8 man boss run for a 5 man....... tasty!)
@ Toypop
You did miss my point. At the start.... Wrath heroics were NOT faceroll. They only became that way around t9/t10..... when the gear from those tiers, so readily available.... made those early heroics a bit of a joke. By that point, the only ones that WERE meaningful were the ICC ones. We found ourselves in the same boat in Cata.
Original Wrath Heroics = Original Cata Heroics
Ulduar Heroics = Cata Old-School Revamp Heroics
Tourney Heroic = Troll Heroics (kinda.... troll ones much better)
ICC Heroics = Dragonsoul Heroics
As each new set got released.... the older set became "jokes". The difference now being, you get more valor points for the DS heroics in comparison to the original Cata heroics...... and in Wrath.... you got the same amount of frost emblems for just running your daily heroic.... regardless of what it was.
As for your assessment of the LFG tool.... the problem you saw there was largely because it was the first time that we had the LFG tool employed at the start of an expansion. If you remember, LFG wasn't employed at the start of Wrath. There was no historic experience to go by. At Wrath's release.... you ran heroics with people you knew or you went and sat outside the dungeon and HOPED you could pug with a group going in. The experience with LFG was really once people had largely acquired gear in Wrath.
Blizzard simply went and tried to do what they did before..... gear starting expac heroic to the current gear..... and had the LFG in place from the get-go.... and voila!!!! .... You have a cluster because PLAYERS WERE STUCK IN A ROTFLSTOMP mindset.
People were arrogant/ignorant by and large and didn't think it would be a challenge, and thus.... were sadly and painfully mistaken.
They did eventually nerf the t11 heroics. Yes. But you want to know what the real adaptation was?...... BETTER GEAR. Once people started "out-gearing" those dungeons.... people started rolling them.So if the players don't adapt what do you do? Blizzard had a choice - adapt the content to the customers or lose the customers. They chose the former. Ah well QQ, I'd rather they fixed the DF tool to somehow filter out bad players so the content could be more challenging but I am realistic enough to know that won't happen as Blizzard want those bad players to pay them subs each month. Also QQ from Blizzard as they lost 2 millions subs each month due to something that many observers such as myself predicted.
As for your idea of fixing the DF tool to "filter out bad players"..... how the heck do you propose to do that? Gear score?... Oh wait. They did that with trolls and STILL you had problem players land in there. And the way you talk about "these people".... hold on.... let me fetch it from your earlier post....
So..... let me get this straight. You want Blizzard to filter out the "bad players", that by your own admission.... maybe aren't as dedicated as you? Hypocrisy much? You're claiming that you "were a HC mode ICC raider", yet, you're having problems with running content that you say is aimed at people NOT of "your skill level"? You want to keep these people out of their content? You were just saying that you wanted stuff to "be more challenging," but you're on the other hand, crying foul that it was "broken"? Call me a little confused.Crucial point: the people that run this content dont have the same tolerance level, commitment level or free time levels for WoW as HC raiders. You must stop assuming that the majority have the same preferences and lifestyle choices as you. The majority dont enjoy spending entire evenings dying without succeeding when they could have been playing another game or in a bar.
...... Here's a better idea. Filter out your own players. Queue up with a group of players you know and trust. You know.... that whole crazy "community" thing people whine and cry about? Which is worth more to you.... insta-queue to run in a dungeon.... or maybe waiting 30 minutes for your buddy to get on so you can run together? Wait and run the heroics with mostly members from your heroic mode guild, and maybe drag along one or two random scrubs from LFG. But then, don't complain about them, because you're obviously at a higher skill level than they are. Or better yet.... maybe take a few moments to try and TEACH some of these other players how to do things better.
Hell..... I know that I would hold off on queueing a lot of times and wait the extra 15-30 minute for a buddy to log on, rather than run a true random and spend an extra 30 minutes on wipes. And if someone really was that abyssmal, shit, I tried to either help them, or if they were "unhelp-able", we parted ways. If I was honestly the cause of the problem (which happened a few times), I'd kindly apologize, thank them for having me along as far as they did, and step out.
Again.... the healing model WASN'T broken. It worked. Yes, it was a bit difficult at the start because no one was really "well-geared" and the content was made to be a HEROIC DUNGEON aimed at players using gear in that tier content. Once people acquired better gear, a LOT of the problems dissipated. You still had to contend with the occasional DB that just did dumb stuff but, lo' and behold..... your gear was to the point where you could overlook some of that stupidity.
This happens EVERY TIME there is new content. It happened in Wrath in t7, t8, t9/10. It happened in Cata in t11, t12, and t13. Heck.... maybe some of the older crowd can tell you.... it probably happened with Mag Terrace and the rest of TBC. In any case.... things got better when players caught up.
Player A (G (Gear) + S (Skill)) + Player B (G+S) + Player C (G+S).... etc = C (Competence in Content)
As gear improves competence in content will generally improve.
As skill improves, competence in content will generally improve.
If one or both are low.... things are gonna suck. If one piece of the sum of the parts is low.... guess what? That group will "not be as competent".
Or, if you want to know my TL;DR view..... you can just look at my sig line.

DANVILLE, Va. (AP) -- A construction site in Pittsylvania County where workers found human remains has been turned over to the state archaeologist.
Dominion Power spokesman Dan Genest says the workers were digging an exploratory trench at the Pittsylvania Power Station in Hurt when they unearthed the remains last week.
Genest tells the Danville Register & Bee that arrowheads and shards of pottery also were found.
Investigators determined that the remains could be those of a Native American.
The workers were preparing to lay a fiber optic cable parallel to a water line. Genest says work on the project has been halted and the area has been secured to protect the remains.

How do you know if a conference was worth it?
If you come back from the event …
- With nothing but a bag full of cheesy swag – not worth it
- Overflowing with practical ideas you can't wait to share with your boss, colleagues, and staff – worth it
- Mostly preoccupied with your jet lag and how long it's going to take you to catch up on email – not worth it
- With a draft plan for changes that will make a big difference for your business (and probably get you promoted) – worth it.
- More confused than when you left – not worth it
- Feeling like you've just cracked the code – worth it

Thursday, I was in my office trying to grade some literature essays after class. My head hurt. My eyes ached. I struggled to concentrate. I remembered a coupon I'd received for a free coffee, so I dug that out of a desk drawer and walked to the library for some caffeine. The sun outside was [...]

Review about 10cc songs
stunning | Reviewer: Steve------ About the song Speed Kills performed by 10cc
Like everything else 10cc before Godley & Crème left this is just 10 years ahead of its time
Along with 'Blackmail' off The Original Soundtrack this has to be one of my favourite 10cc tracks
What a song! | Reviewer: Alan Shaw------ About the song Reds In My Bed performed by 10cc
This song came from their sixth studio album,Bloody Tourists. It is based on a true story the band read about while on the road. There is a genuine feel and passion in this song, and the music suits the mood perfectly, with the military style snare drums and plaintive melody. All in all, a rare gem from a superb and underrated band!
Come on back | Reviewer: Max------ About the song The Sacro-Iliac performed by 10cc
This song is simply brilliant. I have heard it over and over in the past 32 years and it still sounds fresh every time I hear it. The lyrics, harmonies and laid back rythmn together with slide guitar just make it a perfect little song.
This is An Awesome song!!! | Reviewer: Ran------ About the song The Stars Didn't Show performed by 10cc
This is An Awesome song!!! listen to it if u can
You could review 10cc in Biography page
You could review 10cc album by visiting Album page

Culture Warrior
Is this a rant rationalizing self-righteous behavior?
Culture Warrior
I am a southern liberal with a message for all the fundamentalists. You assume that because I am a liberal I automatically hate you. You all may be irritating but you do not have the power to make me hate you. Hatred is a terrible thing to carry within one's soul. I refuse to give you permission to make me live with this burden.
I'm a southern liberal. I feel kinda sorry for jonses. It must be a hard life to live with so much hatred inside one's soul. Denying it is there and projecting it on others dose not mean it dose not exist. So far as me hating conservatives, well I don't. Hatred is a terrible thing to carry in one's soul. People like jonses and Maximus seem to get some kind of pleasure posting things that they think will keep me awake at night with anger. It doesn't and I sleep well. Do you guys really think your rants affect me? Dream on.
Back to Campaigning
To those who believe the states should be in charge of disaster relief I'd like to remind them of the old saying that, "When a man is hip pockets deep in alligators it is difficult to remember that his original job was to drain the swamp." Most of New Jersey is paralyzed, parts of New York are in the same condition. There is the need for a large effort from outside both states. This is what Americans do. The stricken states cannot do the job, private corporations would be looking to make a profit and do all of the shortcuts they could. Remember the reaction of the country to the inept job done after Katrina. Some Americans believe they are completely self-sufficient but it just ain't so. "No man is an island."
The Map
What is wrong with the "conservatives" on this site? There are millions of AMERICANS suffering from the effects of the largest hurricane on record and all you mud-slingers can do is bitch about the president. Obviously none of you give a damn about anything but yourselves. Screw the whole lot of you.

The Pollen
Having grown up in a small town south of Chattanooga I am very encouraged at the number of posts giving the super-cons so much flack. The times they are a changin and those who resist will be lost in the wilderness. The real people who will be left behind are those who cling to the attitudes of the past. It does my heat good to see open minded people in my old stompin grounds. Thank you Chattanooga!

Bring Your Own Service - The Effects of Cloud Services on Compliance and Data Protection
Recent research has revealed that organizations struggle to offer collaboration technologies that compete with free, cloud-based, consumer services in terms of functionality. However, these free services offer few of the security measures that have become standard in the corporate data center, and offer little or no guarantee for organizations that data stored in these services will be protected in accordance with organizational standards.
As a result, 80% of organizations do not currently allow their users to use cloud file sync services, and only 31% plan to do so in the future. As only 59% of organizations report to actively block these services from their networks, and as many workers now have access to their own mobile internet services and devices, it is a logical conclusion that considerable amounts of organizational data are now being created and transmitted entirely outside of the organizational perimeter, and outside of its control.
This presentation will review the findings of our research, discuss techniques for how organizations may assess whether they are protecting themselves from cloud data exodus or running the risk of losing control over their information assets.

DLP vs DLD? - The Keys to a Successful Data Loss Prevention Program
The major key to successful DLP deployment is to reduce the number of incidents to a minimum by setting up the system to report only pertinent violations. Many DLP systems fail in accurately detecting incidents, and instead, report thousands of irrelevant events. Most vendors refer to this phase as "Tuning"; for GTB, Tuning equates to "FAILURE".
Want a quick way to learn about Data Loss Prevention and how it differs from Data Loss Detection? How not to have your DLP Program Fail? Having solved the industry known problems of False Positives & Bring your own Cloud... see for yourself the differences which GTB offers in Quality, Port Coverage, Real-Time Detection & Cyber Threat Protection.
Our presentation offers a product analysis & live demonstration that points out exactly what those differences are & how to spot them when evaluating DLP products

We saw them respond to new security research findings more rapidly, and leverage zero-day exploits more effectively. It's a clear sign the data threat is growing at an alarming rate. In 2013, as computing increasingly shifts to virtualized cloud services and mobile platforms, attackers will follow, just as they always have. This means IT organizations and users will need to ask tough new questions of their IT service providers and partners; become more systematic about protecting diverse devices and network infrastructure; and become more agile about responding to new threats.
Attend our Seminar to learn how your data can become vulnerable, including the latest issues stemming from unprotected data on mobile devices and social media sites. We'll discuss:

Considerations to Protect and Speed Up Your Network
With the explosion of BYOD and the seemingly ubiquitous use of handheld devices, IT organizations are challenged to maintain security and control and mitigate the impact of the associated explosion of network traffic as a result of these devices. These devices introduce security, control and performance issues that must be addressed.
This presentation discusses:
Rich Southall
The Dynamic World of Threat Detection, Containment & Response
Regardless of size, network security is a top priority for all organizations. Networks are more vulnerable than ever due to the inherent risk of facilitating remote access in conjunction with the volume of traffic and the speed at which that traffic is flowing. As organizations migrate from 1Gb to 10Gb and beyond, network security tools struggle to keep up with these increasing connection speeds as the tools may not be designed to process the volume of packet traffic going through the protected link. Therefore, it is vital to implement security architectures and strategies that not only prevent security breaches, but can also dynamically react to potential threats and scale to meet future needs.

Dynamic Security against Modern Threats in a Virtualized Environment
Securing the network has never been more challenging. First, threats are increasingly targeted, fast-moving and evasive. Second, the computing environment is constantly changing with initiatives like virtualization and BYOD. This presentation reviews these challenges and offers approaches to network security that keeps pace with both the dynamic computing and threat landscapes.

Antidepressants Like Zoloft Might Increase Risk of Brain Hemorrhage and Stroke
According to an article that appeared in the Chicago Tribune on October 17, 2012, researchers at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada, recently combined the findings from 16 previous studies involving more than 500,000 people who were and were not taking antidepressants in the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of drugs, of which Zoloft is a member. Upon further analysis of the data, the researchers found that "overall, antidepressant users were about 40 to 50 percent more likely to suffer bleeding in and around the brain." Based on these figures, "there would be one brain hemorrhage for every 10,000 people using an SSRI over one year," the Tribune article states.
Risk Is Slightly Increased, but Warning Should Be Heeded
The study's authors warned that "people who are already at an increased risk of a brain hemorrhage might need to be careful. That includes people who have had a brain bleed in the past, or are on medications that reduce blood clotting such as warfarin (Coumadin), or a combination of aspirin and clopidogrel (Plavix)." Moreover, the website, MedPageToday.com specified in its article on the study that "a separate analysis showed that concomitant use of an SSRI and an anticoagulant significantly increased the risk of brain hemorrhage compared with anticoagulant use alone."
The article further reports that doctors and researchers not involved in the study recommend that patients suffering from depression who also take anti-coagulants, should consult with their physicians about whether or not an SSRI like Zoloft is appropriate for them to take. Patients at risk for a brain hemorrhage or stroke might be better off taking a non-SSRI medication to treat their depression.
The Rottenstein Law Group Advocates for Those Injured by Zoloft
As Zoloft and other medications in the SSRI class continue to be assessed by researchers, evidence is mounting that the drug, while beneficial to many as a treatment for depression, can be dangerous to others, especially pregnant women, and those who might also be taking medications such as anti-coagulants.
If you were prescribed Zoloft while pregnant, took the medication as directed, and gave birth to a child with birth defects you believe resulted from taking an antidepressant, you have rights as a consumer. The Rottenstein Law Group's lawyers have over 25 years of collective experience advocating for individuals in consumer product injury and mass tort cases. They can help obtain compensation for pain and suffering and unforeseen medical costs. If you feel you have cause to sue Pfizer, Inc., our attorneys can help.

China is looking to become the global center for green design development, and it recently selected Heller Manus Architects to lead one of its key projects. The San Francisco based business was chosen to lead the design and construction of a $100+ million downtown Urban Plan in Guangzhou, China. The urban design put forth by Heller Manus will provide a framework for 1,453 acres, including five public plazas, the main train station, a recreational park, the principal sports center for the Asian Games, various shopping areas, and 180,000 residential units. Most importantly, the development will emphasize green building design, which is at the center of the design plans. Heller Manus looks to cut down on the number of cars in the area, increase foot traffic, provide the centerpiece station for the new bus rapid transit system, and install large scale arrays of solar PV panels. In addition to making Guangzhou "greener," the previously mentioned design plans will help unify the area, making transportation easier and more accessible. ChinaSF, a public-private partnership between OEWD and the San Francisco Center for Economic Development, was the catalyst for securing the deal for Heller Manus. Jeff Heller describes ChinaSF's involvement: "As a San Francisco-based firm, we have always felt the influence of the relationship our city has with China. I have personally been interested in China for several years, and started aggressively developing our business there about 5 years ago. ChinaSF has created a critical business exchange platform that has helped my firm expand this work in China. Specifically, it has helped me focus my work and develop new urban planning and architectural projects through key connections developed through my participation with ChinaSF both in San Francisco and in mainland China. Furthermore, as a bridge between China and San Francisco, ChinaSF has helped us export some of the City of San Francisco's innovative green building policies to China. Our projects in China utilize the green planning techniques and strategies that we've incubated in San Francisco's green building community, and that expertise is highly valued over there. Simultaneously, the bridge from China back to San Francisco also holds great promise." Even more impressive than the scope of the project is the time in which the project must be completed. In November 2010, Guangzhou, China will host the 2010 Asian games, which gives Heller Manus 18 months to complete key phases of the project that would normally take five years. However, Jeff Heller, president of Heller Manus Architects, is ready to take on the task despite the looming time constraint because of his confidence in the Guangzhou teams who are executing the work. Jeff Heller recently spoke at the "Scaling Up: From Green Buildings to Green Cities in the U.S. and China" conference, highlighting the design plans for the area. With Heller Manus Architects at the helm, the future looks bright and green for Guangzhou.

tion to shift to other geographical areas. Such shifting significantly decreases and may entirely vitiate the effect of crop suppression on the supply of cocaine. It is unknown whether deterrence measures can be developed that would diminish or prevent geographical shifting of production in response to suppression of coca cultivation in limited areas.
Issues of substitution, deterrence, and adaptation have arisen repeatedly in the committee's deliberations on supply-reduction policy as well as in presentations made to the committee in public workshops. These issues arise as much in discussion of domestic law enforcement as in discussion of interdiction policy. The remainder of this chapter examines questions related to domestic enforcement, beginning with the structure of retail drug markets.
A retail drug market is the set of people, facilities, and procedures through which a drug such as cocaine is transferred from suppliers to users. Users and suppliers interact through retail markets. Much law enforcement activity is aimed at disrupting this interaction by increasing the price that users must pay, decreasing the quality (purity) of the drugs that are sold, making it more difficult for users and sellers to find each other, or increasing the risks of buying and selling drugs. Other actions to reduce drug use also operate, at least in part, through their effects on retail markets. For example, a successful treatment or prevention program is likely to reduce the demand for drugs and therefore the earnings of individuals who sell them. This in turn may reduce the number of drug sellers. A program that improves legitimate employment for youths may also reduce the number of individuals who sell drugs, thereby increasing the difficulty that users encounter in finding drugs for sale and perhaps increasing the price that users must pay.
There are many questions about retail drug markets whose answers, were they available, would be useful to policy makers. For example:
What is the price elasticity of the demand for powder cocaine? For cocaine base (crack)? Other drugs? That is, by how much does the quantity consumed decrease (increase) in when the retail price increases (decreases)? If the price increases, to what extent is the reduction in consumption caused by cessation of use by casual users? By heavy users? To what extent is the reduction in consumption caused by decreased use but not cessation by casual users? By heavy users? To what extent does a price increase limit initiation of new users? To what extent does the demand for one drug depend on the price of other drugs? What are the dynamics of the response of demand to price changes?

- Good.OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 10/10/2014We told them it was a birthday when we made the reservation, but they didn't do anything special or even greet us. The food was good, but were told it was going to be longer because a big party put in in their order before us before us. We were only 2 people.Special Features:
- LynnOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/28/2014It might be a fun place to watch a game on TV, but the food was subpar. The fajitas had no flavor. It was bland and disappointing. Even the flour tortillas for the fajitas were bad and I think it is hard to mess up a tortilla.
- Robbing the cradleOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/28/2014We can't believe the size of the lobster tails this restaurant sells. They are about 50% of the size of what constitutes a legal lobster tail in California. The meat was no larger than the diameter of a large man's forefinger :( Shame on them for contributing to the collapse of our fisheries.
- great food, great place to eat.....TommyDined on 9/20/2014Food was really good. Did not have to wait a long time for food to arrive. Was not sure if bucket was going to be enough for two people, however it was more than enough. Great place to eatSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slow Service, Interesting Foodindyfind87Dined on 9/15/2014In the time that it took us to get our food, someone at the next table ordered (his order was taken immediately after ours), got his food, ate it, got chips & salsa, paid, and left. We were also not told that the chips & salsa were a free appetizer with order. So we were unable to enjoy those during our long wait since the waiter also never checked on us.Special Features:
- Great for Happy HourAdiosSergioDined on 8/29/2014Had a large group of people for a going away party. It was a typical busy night in the Gaslamp on a Friday night. They had a great window table ready for us and the server was better than the best. She was awesome...she was fast, fun and always checked up on us. I would give her 5 stars and they food was great. Good value for the money. Thank you!Special Features:
- good lobsters!starDined on 8/12/2014We enjoyed having lobster dinner at Rockin Baja Lobster Gaslamp!Special Features:
- Not Rockin by no meansNinaDined on 8/1/2014The only great experience I had was notifying Rockin Baja Lobster I was running late for my 9:30 pm reservation to which they gladly held open. However, the service was poor and the food was not as great as I had remembered on a prior visit. Regarding the shrimp and lobster bucket....well the lobster was overcooked, dry and stuck in the shells. The honey butter was not served with the tortillas. When we did receive the honey butter, it was not edible tasting. The poor service and the food was probably the result of it being nearly after 10 pm and the staff was busy cleaning up and the food was no longer fresh. I would not recommend for a late night find.Special Features:
- The following 31 reviews are from the Rockin Baja Lobster Gaslamp reviews archive.
- Great find!FoodieVIPDined on 7/12/2014We happened upon this restaurant while in San Diego recently. It was a nice place, offered good drinks, food & service. It is very laid back, family-friendly and easy on the wallet ;)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 4th JulysdjulesDined on 7/4/2014Very busy but waitstaff had good attitude despite it ask. Sea if Cortez seemed to be missing food, much smaller than before. Not enough spice on anything, had to ask for additional seasoning. Considering the crowd, not too bad. Other visits have been much better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- QueenbeeVIPDined on 6/30/2014It was good, service was a little slow maybe short handedI would recommend this to a friend.
- It is What it IsseafordinerVIPDined on 6/28/2014Rockin Baja is not for everyone. It is not a bad place to get some burritos, but it feels a bit run down and not very appetizing. A communal salsa bar and silverware in a large cup say it all. It's just not a place that even belongs on Open Table. Does not seem to appeal to diners that make reservations and more like a Mexican Fridays. Reviewing this is not really fair, it's just not a dining experience worth discussing.
- Good food and lots of funAlanDined on 6/20/2014The Rockin Baja Lobster is a place to go and enjoy yourself. The ambience is energetic, the service is good, and the food is fine. We had the lobster tail bucket and it was very good and more than enough. Garrett, our server took good care of us. Overall, we were very happy with the Rockin Baja Lobster.Special Features:
- First timer....CrusaderVIPDined on 6/5/2014First time here. Good food and good service...great place to hang out!Special Features:
- ExcellentWingedmarsupialDined on 6/3/2014Excellent dinner. Big buckets of lobster and crab. Loads of different drinks promos.Special Features:
- Rockin Baja LobsterDelmardanDined on 5/17/2014When we're downtown we always have to make a stop at Rockin Baja Lobster Gaslamp - love the Baja Buckets and fun sitting on patio watching the crowd and pedicabs on 5th avenue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tourist Grade DiningplaywithyourfoodDined on 5/8/2014We enjoyed the outdoor patio dining and the people watching it afforded. The "serve yourself" chip and salsa bar was a novelty with a nice variety of salsas; the green, habanero and mango were table favorites. We started with guacamole, and while presented with a generous portion, the avocado taste was lacking and was reminiscent of store bought pre-packaged guacamole. Our table ordered Surf n Turf Tacos, Tempura Shrimp Tacos and the Shrimp Bucket. The taco plates were nicely presented and the tacos were tasty, however, the rice and beans were more of a cold starchy mess, not worthy of the calories. The Shrimp Bucket was impressive looking, but it was surprising to find out the shrimp were "peel n eat", not noted on the menu.Special Features:
- LovethefoodDined on 5/4/2014Great place food is excellent service is great will go there every time we visit San DiegoSpecial Features:
- MartynaDined on 4/18/2014Great seafood meals! Everything was pretty yummy except the drinks were so weak! I had two different margaritas that were really low on the tequila and my other family members agreed about their own drinks also. Step it up Baja, your food is really good, make a better impression with the drinks!Special Features:
- okOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/28/2014The food was very salty so we really did not enjoy it. We had the golden basket and I would not order it again.Special Features:
- fun night outGeoffVIPDined on 3/28/2014We had a good time at the restaurant and enjoyed a good meal, but felt the price point (although good for the neighborhood) was a bit high for the food we received. I would go back but probably not order the combo buckets again. They were great at substituting out the sweet & sour for lime juice in our margaritas!Special Features:
- Service was slowOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/25/2014We had a large group of 12 so I understand that it may take a little longer to get all entres out. But it took almost an hour and a half to get the food. It was tasty, but on the cold side by the time we received it.Special Features:
- Our Favorite Restaurant!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/22/2014We love Rockin' Baja. You cannot go wrong here if you love sea food! Our favorite item on the menu is definitely the Baja Bucket for 2. It is plenty of food for 2 people and is delicious every single time!I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Valentines Day DiningDavidDined on 2/14/2014This was our first time at Rockin Baja Lobster, and the food was fantastic! Our server, Enrique was attentive and was there when we needed him, and not hovering like some servers do. We really enjoyed to Golden Bucket which was probably the best Lobster we've had since relocating here from the East Coast. Enrique was very nice, and he made us feel comfortable and valued as customers! All servers should be like him.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Padres NightTweetersDined on 9/20/2013When we went to RBL there was a Padres Game and the place was packed. We were immediately seated and we made reservations on line, which was great. It was hard to hear conversations however. The food was good, as usual, but not outstanding. We had to ask twice for more tortillas for our fajitas; water and drinks were refilled on time and the staff was attentive. We love the chips & salsa bar, especially the mango/peach salsa. We will be back again before the next Padres game we have tickets for!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cool venueChiefFoodOfficerVIPDined on 8/6/2013Nice location and good service are the hallmarks of this hip Baja Mexican restaurant. Chips & salsa are plentiful as you serve yourself, but not the best quality. Fajitas were okay - not the best but not the worst. Will go back and try again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OK mexican food - the nachoNYCHaynesVIPDined on 7/13/2013OK mexican food - the nacho bar was the big hit - I would stick to drinks and appitizers ( the shrimp and lobster are over cooked)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The chips and salsa bar is excellent and is self service. All in all our party of 7 really enjoyed this place.Special Features:
- wouldn't have thought it...chefboyrdVIPDined on 7/5/2013Exterior appearance says rowdy bar... correct assumption, but the food was excellent. The Lobster Tacos were fantastic and the portabella mushroom taco ran a close second. I would love to go back and explore more of their menu! Servers were very attentive also.Special Features:

While I need to come over to Emma's one evening and do paperwork and dinner with our families, this does raise another note related to charters. The Order of the Arcus Majoris of Ansteorra is now renamed by treaty to the Order of the Arc d'Or of Ansteorra (I have a signed constitution for that one to get Darius and Serena as well). So adjusted charters for the grant-level archery order's new name will also be required. Etienne
