REVEALED: When Steve Hilton met Boris
06 March 2012
Steve Hilton, the Prime Minister's closest adviser, has met Boris Johnson to discuss a new role working with the Mayor, I've learned.
And I gather that Steve himself is interested in becoming a Mayor one day. Gazing into my crystal ball, I wonder if a Hilton versus David Lammy contest might happen in 2016 or 2020.
They had lunch at City Hall several weeks ago and a dinner at Boris's home sometime ago. Then a fortnight ago Mr Hilton was spotted in a glass fronted meeting room at City Hall in talks with the Mayor's chief of staff, Eddie Lister.
They are believed to have talked about a heavyweight role being created with an economic or business brief.
One source said Mr Hilton could have joined Team Boris after the May local elections. "They went into the canteen for lunch, obviously getting on very well. The word on the ground is that Steve Hilton wanted to move into a role where he could really effect change because he was disenchanted with how little actually gets done in Whitehall. "He had seen Boris making things happen, from the cable car to the Routemaster, and he was attracted by that." Mr Hilton and Mr Johnson are said to have first "clicked" when he went in for a briefing on the Mayor's plan for a Thames Estuary airport and followed up the talks with dinner. They are both colourful political personalities with a strong dislike of European directives, business red tape and wasteful spending.
In the end Mr Hilton, who is famous for padding around No 10 in tee shirt and bare feet, decided to take an unpaid academic sabbatical at Stanford University in the United States instead. He plans to return to his desk in No 10 next year.
Friends of Mr Hilton say he did not discuss a formal job at City Hall but said he has long-term mayoral ambitions of his own and is keen to learn what he can from Mr Johnson about running a major city. One said they talked about helping the Mayor's re-election campaign and supporting the Mayor after he is re-elected. "They talked about development and regeneration, but nothing as formal as a job. He had a discussion with Boris and his team about how he could support them after the election, working with the Mayor rather than for the mayor. "Steve would like to be a mayor himself one day and such a role would help him learn how a mayoralty works."
This disclosure will fuel claims that the maverick adviser was frustrated with the slow pace of reform in Whitehall and keen to swap his backroom role for a practical job helping business.

payal80 Started The Discussion:
Dear All, It would be Greate help for me if some one can provide me calculation procedure of Pf,ESI& gratuity in Excel sheets. Thanks Payal
Hi Payal,
ESI is contributed from both the sides Employee as well as Employer.
It is been calculated on the basis of Gross salary per month and the maximum ceiling is 10000 Rs./Month.
The contribution from both the sides is as below-
Employee Side- 1.75% of gross/month
So if gross of an employee is 8000/month then
ESI contribution would be 8000*1.75% = 140 Rupees
Employer side- 4.75% of gross/month
ESI contribution would be 8000* 4.75% = 380 Rupees.
Where as PF is contributed @12% of basic salary only from both sides employee as well as employer..

Kumar H P - Member Since: Oct 2007
Dear Payal,
To the excell sheet provided by grhrm, please apply a condition that If Gross > 10000, ESI contribution is Zero. So that it can directly read Zero value for people having salary greater than Rs.10000
Truly Yours,
Amith R Murthy - Member Since: Sep 2007
Dear Amit,
I have a clarification about the below line as quoted by you, if i am not wrong wrong confirm me is this the Gross limit the maximum above which the employee can opt for PF i mean is it similar to the limit of basic salary of Rs 6500. Clarify me on the same.
PF is been calculated on the basis of Gross salary per month and the maximum ceiling is 10000 Rs./Month.
Amith R.
Dear Amith,
Please go through with the mention line once again..
ESI is contributed from both the sides Employee as well as Employer.
It is been calculated on the basis of Gross salary per month and the maximum ceiling is 10000 Rs./Month.

The West Coast Premiere of Christine Evans' Trojan Barbie comes to the Garage Theatre's stage—and with it relocates Euripides' tragedy The Trojan Women to modern times complete with modern warfare. Watch as Lotte, a timid English woman who repairs dolls, is captured while on her "dream vacation" to war-torn Troy, and meets Helen and Hecuba and her two daughters in a women's POW camp—and through themes of violence and sex, each of these characters become a symbol of survival, hope and death. It's mysterious, dark, fanciful, powerful, and at times, just plain weird—a perfect fit for the quirky tastes of Long Beach's Garage Theatre.

It's been a busy few days for platinum-selling artists Paramore.
In conjunction with Monday's debut of their highly anticipated album Brand New Eyes, Paramore performed "Ignorance" on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and then kicked off a month-long North American tour Tuesday night at the Fox Theater in Pomona, Calif.
According to Rolling Stone, frontwoman Hayley Williams missed the encore, "Misery Business," after telling the crowd that she had been sick for the last week. Her band mates invited the crowd to sing the lyrics instead.

November 28, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - Amazon will have exclusive ad-free streaming rights in the U.S. to a CBS thriller this summer starring Halle Berry.
Episodes will be available for free on CBS.com and CBS' app with ads the day after they air on CBS. Members of Amazon's $79-a-year Prime service will be able to watch "Extant" ad-free four days after broadcast. Non-Prime members can buy episodes, but only through Amazon.
The deal represents Amazon.com Inc.'s latest effort to bring more exclusive content to Prime as it battles rivals Netflix Inc. and Hulu Plus. It also blocks Apple Inc.'s iTunes for sales of episodes.
The arrangement mirrors that involving "Under the Dome," a surprise hit for CBS last summer. Both shows are produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television.
Financial terms for the deal were not disclosed.

Ryan Tunnicliffe is determined to push on and continue his progress at United after making his senior bow on the DHL tour.
The 19-year-old is the only member of the FA Youth Cup-winning central midfield trio forcing his way into Sir Alex Ferguson's plans with Ravel Morrison and Paul Pogba having left the club, and he feels there is the opportunity to achieve his childhood dream and become a first-team regular in the future.
After opening the scoring in the Manchester United XI's 6-2 win at Market Drayton on Wednesday, the tenacious midfielder will be striving to keep himself in Sir Alex's thoughts as the season progresses and aim for making a competitive debut at some stage.
When asked by Inside United if he felt any additional pressure flying the flag for the 2011 Youth Cup triumvirate, he replied: "On the other hand, they were good players playing in my position so one of us might have made it and another one might have not.
"So with them gone, it does open it up for me in a way but, obviously, I was close to them. We were midfield partners and good friends. I was sad to see Paul go and I do think he was a great player and could have made it here as well. But another door opens and it goes both ways."
With the likes of Ji-sung Park and Darron Gibson also departing this year, it was suggested to Tunnicliffe that the path to a midfield place may start becoming clearer from his perspective.
"There are not as many people," he admitted.
"But we've still got Larnell [Cole] and Jesse [Lingard], who are doing very well as well, and people who are younger than me and have got me looking over my shoulder as well as

MINNEAPOLIS - Steven Schussler, the brash entrepreneur who founded Rainforest Café, has not had a winning restaurant concept in more than a decade.
But he hasn't lost his ability to shock, entertain and, ultimately, to raise millions of dollars for his fairytale-like ideas.
This month, RED Development, a major developer of open-air shopping centers, agreed to build Schussler's themed restaurant concepts in more than 30 locations across the country, in a deal valued at more than $100 million.
Designed to overstimulate the senses, the concepts include a Chinese restaurant with statues from China's Qing dynasty; a Parisian jazz club with a giant airplane descending from the ceiling; a restaurant with Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and a hot dog stand with more than 3,000 types of mustard.
The deal with RED is the biggest in Schussler's 28-year restaurant career — and one that could go a long way toward restoring his reputation as a business visionary after some well-publicized blunders. In 1991, a once-trendy nightclub he founded in down- town Minneapolis known as JukeBox Saturday Night went bankrupt. Then, nine years later, he angered shareholders of Rainforest Café when he sold the publicly traded restaurant at a low ebb in its stock.
Now, Schussler is on a roll again. A year ago, he made $7.6 million when he sold 80 percent of his dinosaur-themed restaurant, T-Rex, to Houstonbased Landry's Restaurants. And ground has broken on two of Schussler's restaurants — T-Rex and Asian-themed Yak & Yeti — at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Schussler leads regular tours of his offbeat headquarters in Golden Valley, where he has converted a one-story warehouse into a playground for testing his restaurant concepts. Inside, visitors find screeching robot dinosaurs, jungle sounds, Harley-Davidsons, original artwork from 15th-century China and fake mists and snowfalls.
"Nowadays, there are so many shopping centers being built, you've got to stand out," said Dan Lowe, managing partner with RED Development, which is based in Kansas City, Mo. "And Steve's ideas really stand out."
At times, the scene at Schussler's laboratory in Golden Valley resembles a Martin Scorsese movie set. His concepts attract the sort of Donald Trump-like characters who favor the grandiose. Gaming entrepreneur Lyle Berman, an early investor in Rainforest, is a frequent visitor. Raphael Ghermezian, one of the four Ghermezian brothers who developed the Mall of America, will tour the facility next week.
Each tour costs about $5,000 and is carefully choreographed by Schussler, who often recruits magicians to perform and chauffeurs his visitors to and from the airport.
On a recent weekday, six executives with Olympia Gaming, which owns Casino Fandango in Carson City, Nev., stepped into a brightly lit room with a red carpet, gold chandeliers and 8-foot statues of knights from 19th-century China.
Schussler, a Joe Pesci lookalike wearing a designer suit over a purple T-shirt, doesn't speak so much as yell.
"I'm telling ya, you could build a whole casino around this! You could do it!" he shouted in his thick New York accent.
"You know who would really appreciate this is our Asian customer that comes to Vegas," said Gary Goett, chairman of Olympic Gaming. "They would love it!" Yeah, this is totally off the charts!" Schussler yelled.
Behind each door in the warehouse is a different world. One door leads to a room filled with mechanical dinosaurs. As Schussler talked, a brontosaur tail swiped across the room, knocking one of the casino executives in the shoulder.
Schussler led the group into a jazz club concept, where he explained the marketing benefits of having urinals shaped like saxophones. "Guys, you'll never forget in a lifetime that you peed in a saxophone," he said.
He talked louder and faster as he introduced the Hot Dog Hall of Fame. "We should open up one of these in every airport, every stadium, every university around the world!" he yelled.
Schussler's style seemed perfectly suited to these casino executives, who laughed at his jokes and departed with big grins in a Cadillac Escalade.
"That Chinese concept could really work in Vegas," Goett said.
But Schussler has wowed investors before with concepts that didn't pan out as planned.
His JukeBox Saturday Night, with a '57 Chevy sticking out of the front of the building and King Kong climbing up the side, went from lines of people waiting to get in to a bankruptcy court after the novelty faded.
After the demise of Juke-Box Saturday Night, Schussler retreated to his St. Louis Park, Minn., home, which he transformed into a prototype of his rainforest-themed restaurant. Schussler spent $400,000 turning every room into a rainforest scene, replete with jungle birds, waterfalls and a baby baboon named Charley.
Rainforest went public in 1995, just six months after opening its first restaurant at the Mall of America in Bloomington. Its stock debuted at $6 per share and within the first 10 weeks more than doubled. In the fall of 1996, it was trading at $34.
At the time, Schussler was riding the wave of so-called "eatertainment" restaurants and clubs, such as Hard Rock Cafe and Planet Hollywood popping up all over the country. But like many of these concepts, Rainforest expanded before proving diners would come again and again. Landry's bought the chain in 2000 for $3.25 a share. After shrinking the chain, Landry's is expanding it again.
Schussler, however, made about $7 million from the transaction — money he has poured into his headquarters. And he has no misgivings about the deal. "I'll never forget who brought me to the dance. Never," he said. "Rainforest Café gave me credibility."

"Miss A—" pictured in 1866 and in 1870 after treatment. She was one of the earliest anorexia nervosa case studies. From the published medical papers of Sir William Gull
|emerg/34 med/144
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by immoderate food restriction, inappropriate eating habits or rituals, obsession with having a thin figure, and an irrational fear of weight gain, as well as a distorted body self-perception. It typically involves excessive weight loss and is diagnosed approximately nine times more often in females than in males.[1] Due to their fear of gaining weight, individuals with this disorder restrict the amount of food they consume. Outside of medical literature, the terms anorexia nervosa and anorexia are often used interchangeably; however, anorexia is simply a medical term for lack of appetite, and the majority of individuals afflicted with anorexia nervosa do not, in fact, lose their appetites.[2] Patients with anorexia nervosa often experience dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, fever, and a lack of energy. To counteract these side effects, particularly the latter, individuals with anorexia may engage in other harmful behaviors, such as smoking, excessive caffeine consumption, and excessive use of diet pills, along with an increased exercise regimen. (Of course, side effects such as fever or headaches may be treated with other, non-diet medication, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen.)
Anorexia nervosa is often coupled with a distorted self image[3][4] which may be maintained by various cognitive biases[5] that alter how the affected individual evaluates and thinks about their body, food, and eating.[6] People with anorexia nervosa often view themselves as overweight or "big" even when they are already underweight.[7]
Anorexia nervosa most often has its onset in adolescence and is more prevalent among adolescent females than adolescent males. In general, men appear to be more comfortable with their weight and perceive less pressure to be thin than women.[8] [9]
While the majority of people with anorexia nervosa continue to feel hunger, they deny themselves all but very small quantities of food.[6] The average caloric intake of individuals with anorexia nervosa varies drastically depending both on whether the individual engages in binging and/or purging behavior, and if the individual has engaged in that behavior in the day in question.[10] Extreme cases of complete self-starvation are known. It is a serious health condition with a high incidence of comorbidity and similarly high mortality rate to serious psychiatric disorders.[7] People with anorexia have extremely high levels of ghrelin (the hunger hormone that signals a physiological need for food) in their blood. The high levels of ghrelin suggests that their bodies are desperately trying to make them hungry; however, that hunger call is being suppressed, ignored, or overridden. Sufferers may commonly engage in self-harm behaviors in order to override their feelings of hunger.
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that is characterized by attempts to lose weight, to the point of self-starvation. A person with anorexia nervosa may exhibit a number of signs and symptoms, the type and severity of which may vary in each case and may be present but not readily apparent. Anorexia nervosa, and the associated malnutrition that results from self-imposed starvation, can cause severe complications in every major organ system in the body.[11][12][13]
Hypokalaemia, a drop in the level of potassium in the blood, is a sign of anorexia nervosa. A significant drop in potassium can cause abnormal heart rhythms, constipation, fatigue, muscle damage and paralysis.
Between 50% and 75% of individuals with an eating disorder experience depression. In addition, one in every four individuals who are diagnosed with anorexia nervosa also exhibit obsessive-compulsive disorder.[14]
Symptoms of a person with anorexia nervosa may include:
|xerosis cutis
|telogen effluvium
|acne vulgaris
|seborrhoeic dermatitis
|livedo reticularis
|interdigital intertrigo
|generalized pruritus
|acquired striae distensae
|angular stomatitis
|prurigo pigmentosa
|linear erythema craquele
|acrodermatitis enteropathica
|electrolyte imbalance[34]
|tooth loss[36]
|cardiac arrest[37]
|optic neuropathy[44]
|brain atrophy[45][46]
The prevalent symptoms for anorexia nervosa (as discussed above) such as decreased body temperature, obsessive-compulsivity, and changes in psychological state, can actually be attributed to symptoms of starvation. This theory can be supported by a study by Routtenberg in 1968 involving rats who were deprived of food; these rats showed dramatic increases in their activity on the wheel in their cage at times when not being fed.[49] These findings could explain why those with anorexia nervosa are often seen excessively exercising; their overactivity is the result of fasting, and by increasing their activity they could raise their body temperature, increase their chances of stumbling upon food, or become distracted from their desire for nourishment (because they do not, in fact, lose their appetite). While it is commonly believed that those with AN do not have a normal appetite, this is not the case. Those with AN are typically obsessive about food, cooking often for others, but not eating the food themselves. Despite the fact that the physiological cause behind each case of anorexia nervosa is different, the most common theme seen across the board is the element of self-control. The underlying cause behind the disorder is rarely about the food itself; it is about the individual attempting to gain complete control over an aspect of their lives, in order to prove themselves, and distract them from another aspect of their lives they wish they could control. For example, a child with a destructive family life who restricts food intake in order to compensate for the chaos occurring at home.[49]
Anorexia nervosa can have serious implications if its duration and severity are significant and if onset occurs before the completion of growth, pubertal maturation, or the attainment of peak bone mass.[50] Complications specific to adolescents and children with anorexia nervosa can include the following:
Studies have hypothesized the continuance of disordered eating patterns may be epiphenomena of starvation. The results of the Minnesota Starvation Experiment showed normal controls exhibit many of the behavioral patterns of anorexia nervosa (AN) when subjected to starvation. This may be due to the numerous changes in the neuroendocrine system, which results in a self-perpetuating cycle.[60][61][62][63] Studies have suggested the initial weight loss such as dieting may be the triggering factor in developing AN in some cases, possibly because of an already inherent predisposition toward AN. One study reported cases of AN resulting from unintended weight loss that resulted from varied causes, such as a parasitic infection, medication side effects, and surgery. The weight loss itself was the triggering factor.[64][65] Even though anorexia does not affect males as often in comparison to females, studies have shown that males with a female twin have a higher chance of getting anorexia. Therefore anorexia may be linked to intrauterine exposure to female hormones.[66]
Sociocultural studies have highlighted the role of cultural factors, such as the promotion of thinness as the ideal female form in Western industrialized nations, particularly through the media. There is a necessary connection between anorexia nervosa and culture; culture may be a cause, a trigger, or merely a kind of social address or envelope which determines in which segments of society or in which cultures anorexia nervosa will appear. The strong thesis of this connection is that culture acts as a cause by providing a blueprint for anorexia nervosa. A moderate thesis is that a specific cultural factors trigger the illness which is determined by many factors including family interactions, individual psychology, or biological predisposition. Culture change can trigger the emergence of anorexia in adolescent girls from immigrant families living in highly industrialized Western Societies.[95] According to a study published in 1980, people in professions where there is a particular social pressure to be thin (such as models and dancers) were much more likely to develop anorexia during the course of their career,[96] and further research has suggested that those with anorexia have much higher contact with cultural sources that promote weight-loss.[97]
Anorexia nervosa is more likely to occur in a person's pubertal years, especially for girls.[98] Female students are 10 times more likely to suffer from anorexia nervosa than male students. According to a survey of 1799 Japanese female high school students, "85% who were a normal weight wanted to be thinner and 45% who were 10–20% underweight wanted to be thinner."[99] Teenage girls concerned about their weight and who believe that slimness is more attractive among peers trend to weight-control behaviors. Teen girls learn from each other to consume low-caloric, low-fat foods and diet pills. This results in lack of nutrition and a greater chance of developing anorexia nervosa.[100]
It has also been noted that anorexia nervosa is more likely to occur in populations in which obesity is more prevalent. It has been suggested that anorexia nervosa results from a sexually selected evolutionary drive to appear youthful in populations in which size becomes the primary indicator of age.[101]
There is also evidence to suggest that patients who have anorexia nervosa can be characterised by alexithymia[102] and also a deficit in certain emotional functions. A research study showed that this was the case in both adult and adolescent anorexia nervosa patients.[103]
Early theories of the cause of anorexia linked it to sexual abuse or dysfunctional families. Some studies reported a high rate of reported child sexual abuse experiences in clinical groups of people who have been diagnosed with anorexia. One found that women with a history of eating disorders were twice as likely to have reported childhood sexual abuse compared to women with no history of eating disorders.[104] The joint effect of both physical and sexual abuse resulted in a nearly 4-fold risk of eating disorders that met DSM-IV criteria.[104] The conclusion was that links between childhood abuse and sexual abuse are complex, such as by influencing psychologic processes that increase a woman's susceptibility to the development of an eating disorder, or perhaps by producing changes in psychobiologic process and neurotransmitting function, associated with eating behaviour.[104]
In contrast to the above, a metastudy of published research examining causes of anorexia found no conclusive link between abuse, parenting and eating disorders.[105] The American Psychiatric Association writes: "No evidence exists to prove that families cause eating disorders."[106]
Efforts have been made to dispel some of the myths around anorexia nervosa and eating disorders, such as the misconception that families, in particular mothers, are responsible for their daughter developing an eating disorder.[107]
There is no evidence[disputed ] that the media is a cause of eating disorders, and advances in neuroscience point to a more complex combination of genetic and environmental influences.[108]
Mass media interventions frequently offer a distorted vision of the world, and it may be difficult for children and adolescents to distinguish whether what they see is real or not, so that they are more vulnerable to the messages transmitted. Field, Cheung, et al.'s survey of 548 preadolescent and adolescent girls found that 69% acknowledged that images in magazines had influenced their conception of the ideal body, while 47% reported that they wanted to lose weight after seeing such images.[109] There was also the survey by Utter et al. who studied 4,746 adolescent boys and girls demonstrating the tendency of magazine articles and advertisements to activate weight concerns and weight management behaviour. He discovered that girls who frequently read fashion and glamour magazines and girls who frequently read articles about diets and issues related to weight loss were seven times more likely to practice a range of unhealthy weight control behaviours and six times more likely to engage in extremely unhealthy weight control behaviours (e.g., taking diet pills, vomiting, using laxatives, and using diuretics).[109] Websites that stress the message of thinness as the ideal have surfaced on the Internet and have managed to embed themselves as an increasing source of influence. The possibility that pro-anorexia websites may reinforce restrictive eating and exercise behaviours is an area of concern. Pro-anorexia websites contain images and writing that support the pursuit of an ideal thin body image. Research has shown that these websites stress thinness as the ideal choice for women and in some websites ideal images of muscularity and thinness for men[110] It has also been shown that women who had viewed these websites at least once had a decrease in self-esteem and reports also show an increased likelihood of future engagement in many negative behaviours related to food, exercise, and weight.[110] Evidence of the value of thinness in majority U.S culture is found in Hollywood's elite and the media promotion of waif models in fashion and celebrity circles (e.g. Nicole Richie, Mary Kate Olsen, Kate Moss, and Lady Gaga[111]).
Since Gillberg's (1983 & 1985)[113][114] and others' initial suggestion of relationship between anorexia nervosa and autism,[115][116] a large-scale longitudinal study into teenage-onset anorexia nervosa conducted in Sweden confirmed that 23% of people with a long-standing eating disorder are on the autism spectrum.[117][118][119][120][121][122][123] Those on the autism spectrum tend to have a worse outcome,[124] but may benefit from the combined use of behavioural and pharmacological therapies tailored to ameliorate autism rather than anorexia nervosa per se.[125][126] Other studies, most notably research conducted at the Maudsley Hospital, furthermore suggest that autistic traits are common in people with anorexia nervosa; shared traits include, e.g., poor executive function, autism quotient score, central coherence, theory of mind, cognitive-behavioural flexibility, emotion regulation and understanding facial expressions.[127][128][129][130][131][102]
Zucker et al. (2007) proposed that conditions on the autism spectrum make up the cognitive endophenotype underlying anorexia nervosa and appealed for increased interdisciplinary collaboration (see figure to right).[112] A pilot study into the effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy, which based its treatment protocol on the hypothesised relationship between anorexia nervosa and an underlying autistic like condition, reduced perfectionism and rigidity in 17 out of 19 participants.[132]
Some autistic traits are more prominent during the acute phase of AN.[133]
The initial diagnosis should be made by a competent medical professional. There are multiple medical conditions, such as viral or bacterial infections, hormonal imbalances, neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumors which may mimic psychiatric disorders including anorexia nervosa. According to an in depth study conducted by psychiatrist Richard Hall as published in the Archives of General Psychiatry:
Not only does starvation result in physical complications, but mental complications as well.[161] P. Sodersten and colleagues suggest that effective treatment of this disorder depends on re-establishing reinforcement for normal eating behaviours instead of unhealthy weight loss.[2]
Anorexia nervosa is classified as an Axis I[162] disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders (DSM-V), published by the American Psychiatric Association. The DSM-V should not be used by laypersons to diagnose themselves.
The DSM-V has replaced the previously-used volume DSM-IV-TR, and in the new DSM-V there have been several changes made to the criteria for anorexia nervosa, most notably that of the amenorrhea criterion being removed. However, significant changes in wording have also been made to each remaining criterion.
Levels of Severity:
Body mass index (BMI) is one of the indicators of the severity of anorexia nervosa. A BMI of 18.5 kg/m² is considered to be the lower limit of normal body weight according to the DSM-V. A BMI that ranges between this lower limit of normal body weight and 17 kg/m² is considered a mild form of anorexia nervosa, BMI between 16-16.99 kg/m² is moderate, 15-15.99 kg/m² is severe, and any BMI value under 15 kg/m² is an extreme severity for anorexia nervosa.[165]
F 50.0: A disorder characterized by deliberate weight loss, induced and sustained by the patient. It occurs most commonly in adolescent girls and young women, but adolescent boys and young men may also be affected, as may children approaching puberty and older women up to the menopause. The disorder is associated with a specific psychopathology whereby a dread of fatness and flabbiness of body contour persists as an intrusive overvalued idea, and the patients impose a low weight threshold on themselves. There is usually undernutrition of varying severity with secondary endocrine and metabolic changes and disturbances of bodily function. The symptoms include restricted dietary choice, excessive exercise, induced vomiting and purgation, and use of appetite suppressants and diuretics.[166]
A variety of medical and psychological conditions have been misdiagnosed as anorexia nervosa; in some cases the correct diagnosis was not made for more than ten years. In a reported case of achalasia misdiagnosed as AN, the patient spent two months confined to a psychiatric hospital.[167]
Other psychological issues may factor into anorexia nervosa; some fulfill the criteria for a separate Axis I diagnosis or a personality disorder which is coded Axis II and thus are considered comorbid to the diagnosed eating disorder. Axis II disorders are subtyped into 3 "clusters", A, B and C. The causality between personality disorders and eating disorders has yet to be fully established.[168] Some people have a previous disorder which may increase their vulnerability to developing an eating disorder.[169][170][171] Some develop them afterwards.[172] The presence of Axis I and/or Axis II psychiatric comorbidity has been shown to affect the severity and type of anorexia nervosa symptoms in both adolescents and adults.[173][174] In particular, substance abuse and borderline personality appear more frequent among anorexics who binge or purge.[175][176] And obsessive-compulsive personality disorder—according to some studies, the most common personality disorder among anorexics—and particular traits of this diagnosis such as perfectionism are linked with more severe symptomatology and worse prognosis.[177][178]
|Axis I
|Axis II
|obsessive compulsive personality disorder[180]
|substance abuse, alcoholism[181]
|borderline personality disorder[182]
|anxiety disorders[183]
|obsessive compulsive disorder[184][185]
BDD is a chronic and debilitating condition which may lead to social isolation, major depression, suicidal ideation and attempts. Neuroimaging studies to measure response to facial recognition have shown activity predominately in the left hemisphere in the left lateral prefrontal cortex, lateral temporal lobe and left parietal lobe showing hemispheric imbalance in information processing. There is a reported case of the development of BDD in a 21-year-old male following an inflammatory brain process. Neuroimaging showed the presence of new atrophy in the frontotemporal region.[191][192][193][193][194]
The distinction between the diagnoses of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) is often difficult to make as there is considerable overlap between patients diagnosed with these conditions. Seemingly minor changes in a patient's overall behavior or attitude can change a diagnosis from "anorexia: binge-eating type" to bulimia nervosa. A main factor differentiating binge-purge anorexia from bulimia is the gap in physical weight. Someone with bulimia nervosa is ordinarily at a healthy weight, or slightly overweight. Someone with binge-purge anorexia is commonly underweight.[195] It is not unusual for a person with an eating disorder to "move through" various diagnoses as their behavior and beliefs change over time.[112]
There is no conclusive evidence that any particular treatment for anorexia nervosa works better than others; however, there is enough evidence to suggest that early intervention and treatment are more effective.[196] Treatment for anorexia nervosa tries to address three main areas.
Although restoring the person's weight is the primary task at hand, optimal treatment also includes and monitors behavioral change in the individual as well.[15] Not all anorexia nervosa patients recover completely; About 20% develop anorexia nervosa as a chronic disorder.[198] If anorexia nervosa is not treated, serious complications such as heart conditions and kidney failure can arise and eventually lead to death. "As many as 6 percent of people with the disorder die from causes related to it."[199]
Diet is the most essential factor to work on in patients with anorexia nervosa, and must be tailored to each patient's needs. Initial meal plans may be low in calories, about 1200, in order to build comfort in eating, and then food amount can gradually be increased. Food variety is important when establishing meal plans as well as foods that are higher in energy density. Other more specific dietary treatments are listed below.[200]
Family-based treatment (FBT) has been shown in randomized controlled trials to be more successful than individual therapy in most treatment trials.[15] Several components of family therapy for patients with AN are:
Various forms of family-based treatment have been proven to work in the treatment of adolescent AN including "conjoint family therapy" (CFT), in which the parents and child are seen together by the same therapist, "separated family therapy" (SFT) in which the parents and child attend therapy separately with different therapists. "Eisler's cohort show that, irrespective of the type of FBT, 75% of patients have a good outcome, 15% an intermediate outcome ...".[217][218] Proponents of Family therapy for adolescents with AN assert that it is important to include parents in the adolescent's treatment.[219]
A four- to five-year follow up study of the Maudsley family therapy, an evidence-based manualized model, showed full recovery at rates up to 90%.[220] Although this model is recommended by the NIMH,[221] critics claim that it has the potential to create power struggles in an intimate relationship and may disrupt equal partnerships.[222]
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence based approach which in studies to date has shown to be useful in adolescents and adults with anorexia nervosa.[223][224][225] Components of using CBT with adults and adolescents with anorexia nervosa have been outlined by several professionals as:
Acceptance and commitment therapy is a type of CBT, which has shown promise in the treatment of AN" participants experienced clinically significant improvement on at least some measures; no participants worsened or lost weight even at 1-year follow-up."[226]
Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) is a cognitive rehabilitation therapy developed at King's College in London designed to improve neurocognitive abilities such as attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility and planning, and executive functioning which leads to improved social functioning. Neuropsychological studies have shown that patients with AN have difficulties in cognitive flexibility. In studies conducted at Kings College[227] and in Poland with adolescents CRT was proven to be beneficial in treating anorexia nervosa,[227] in the United States clinical trials are still being conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health[228] on adolescents age 10–17 and Stanford University in subjects over 16 as a conjunctive therapy with Cognitive behavioral therapy.[229]
The long-term prognosis of anorexia nervosa is more on the favorable side. The National Comorbidity Replication Survey was conducted among more than 9,282 participants throughout the United States; ` found that the average duration of anorexia nervosa is 1.7 years. "Contrary to what people may believe, anorexia is not necessarily a chronic illness; in many cases, it runs its course and people get better ..."[230] However, 5–20% of people diagnosed with anorexia nervosa die from it, and the cause of death is mostly because of the direct health effects of the eating disorder on the body.[231]
In cases of adolescent anorexia nervosa where family-based treatment is used, 75% of patients have a good outcome and an additional 15% show an intermediate yet more positive outcome.[217] In a five-year post treatment follow-up of Maudsley Family Therapy the full recovery rate was between 75% and 90%.[232]
Some remedies, however, are proven to not have any value in resolving anorexia. "Incarceration in hospital" prohibits patients from many basic rights, such as using the bathroom independently. Therefore, it has been seen as catalytic in increasing weight and pushing patients away from the path to recovery.[233]
According to a 1997 study, even in severe cases of AN, despite a noted 30% relapse rate after hospitalization, and a lengthy time to recovery ranging from 57 to 79 months, the full recovery rate was still 76%. There were minimal cases of relapse even at the long term follow-up conducted between 10–15 years.[234] The long-term prognosis of anorexia nervosa is changeable: a fifth of patients stay severely ill, another fifth of patients recover fully and three fifths of patients have a fluctuating and chronic course.[235]
Although overall the prognosis may seem favorable, this is not the case for all patients of anorexia nervosa. Among psychiatric disorders, anorexia nervosa has one of the highest mortality rates because of side effects of the disorder, such as cardiac complications or suicide. In intermediate to long-term studies with juveniles, death rates, on average, have ranged anywhere from 1.8 to 14.1%.[236] Recovery can be lifelong for some; energy intake and eating habits may never return to normal.[200] Many studies have attempted to study relapse and recovery through longitudinal studies but this is difficult, time consuming, and costly. Recovery is also viewed on a spectrum rather than black and white. According to the Morgan-Russell criteria patients can have a good, intermediate, or poor outcome. Even when a patient is classified as having a "good" outcome, weight only has to be within 15% of average and normal menstruation must be present in females. The good outcome also excludes psychological health. Recovery for patients with anorexia nervosa is undeniably positive, but recovery does not mean normal.[236]
According to the Eckert study, relapse is greatest in the first year after normal body weight is obtained. This includes right after release from inpatient institutions. Relapse includes a return to food restriction as well as a shift to binge eating habits.
As stated above, higher energy density in dietary plans is important. Patients with lower dietary energy density in their meals, prior to being discharged, had worse outcomes within the year, therefore a higher likelihood of relapse. This is speculated to be due to fat and fluid consumption. Patients whose dietary plans included fats and foods containing fats were forced to eat a more realistic and "normal" plan than those with lower energy density. Therefore, when released from inpatient treatment, the patients with higher dietary energy density plans had adopted healthier and more balanced eating habits. A greater food variety in inpatient dietary plans may help lower rates of relapse as well.[237] Relapse, binging or starving after initial weight gain, occurs in 40–70% of anorexia patients.[238] Prevention of relapse can be helped by cognitive-behavioral therapy and pharmacological therapies.[238] Link of OCD with anorexia shows treatments for OCD such as serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRI) helps in preventing relapse.[238]
Several clinically significant variables that could predict relapse among AN patients were identified in a study conducted by a team at the University of Toronto. First, patients with binge-purge type AN were twice as likely to have a relapse as those with restricting subtype AN. The second predictor of relapse was the level of motivation to recover. When patients' motivation to recover fell during the first 4 weeks of inpatient treatment, the risk of relapse rose. The third predictor identified in the study was higher pre-treatment severity of checking behaviors, as reported on the Padua Inventory (PI) Checking Behavior scale, a measure of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms.[239]
Anorexia has an average prevalence of 0.3–1% in women and 0.1% in men for the diagnosis in developed countries.[240] The condition largely affects young adolescent women, with those between 15 and 19 years old making up 40% of all cases. Approximately 75% of people with anorexia are female.[241] Anorexia nervosa is more prevalent in the upper social classes and it is thought to be rare in less-developed countries.[235] Anorexia is more prevalent in females and males born after 1945.[242] The lifetime incidence of atypical anorexia nervosa, a form of ED-NOS in which not all of the diagnostic criteria for AN are met, is much higher, at 5–12%.[243]
The question of whether the incidence of AN is on the rise has been under debate. Most studies show that since at least 1970 the incidence of AN in adult women is fairly constant, while there is some indication that the incidence may have been increasing for girls aged between 14 and 20.[244] It is difficult to compare incidence rates at different times and possibly different locations due to changes in methods of diagnosing, reporting and changes in the population numbers, as evidenced on data from after 1970.[245][246][247]
The term anorexia nervosa was coined in 1873 by Sir William Gull, one of Queen Victoria's personal physicians.[248] The term is of Greek origin: an- (ἀν-, prefix denoting negation) and orexis (ὄρεξις, "appetite"), thus meaning a lack of desire to eat.[249] However, while the term anorexia nervosa literally means "neurotic loss of appetite", the literal meaning of the term is somewhat misleading. Many anorexics enjoy eating and have not lost their appetites as the term loss of appetite is normally understood; it is more accurate to regard anorexia nervosa as a compulsion similar to fasting, rather than as a literal loss of appetite.
The history of anorexia nervosa begins with descriptions of religious fasting dating from the Hellenistic era[250] and continuing into the medieval period. A number of well known historical figures, including Catherine of Siena and Mary, Queen of Scots are believed to have suffered from the condition.[251][252]
The medieval practice of self-starvation by women, including some young women, in the name of religious piety and purity also concerns anorexia nervosa; it is sometimes referred to as anorexia mirabilis. By the thirteenth century, it was increasingly common for women to participate in religious life and to even be named as saints by the Catholic Church. Many women who ultimately became saints engaged in self-starvation, including Saint Hedwig of Andechs in the thirteenth century and Catherine of Siena in the fourteenth century. By the time of Catherine of Siena, however, the Church became concerned about extreme fasting as an indicator of spirituality and as a criterion for sainthood. Catherine of Siena was told by Church authorities to pray that she would be able to eat again, but was unable to give up fasting.[251]
The earliest medical descriptions of anorexic illnesses are generally credited to English physician Richard Morton in 1689.[250] Case descriptions fitting anorexic illnesses continued throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. They include the cases of an 18-year-old girl treated by Richard Morton in 1689 who refused to eat and died 3 months later.[253] Noah Webster writes of an instructor at Yale College in the 1770s who refused to eat because he believed food was "dulling his mind."[254]
However, it was not until the late 19th century that anorexia nervosa was widely accepted by the medical profession as a recognised condition. In 1873, Sir William Gull, one of Queen Victoria's personal physicians, published a seminal paper which coined the term anorexia nervosa and provided a number of detailed case descriptions and treatments. However, Gull was unable to provide an explanation for the condition.[253] In the same year, French physician Ernest-Charles Lasègue similarly published details of a number of cases in a paper entitled De l'Anorexie Histerique.
Awareness of the condition was largely limited to the medical profession until the latter part of the 20th century, when German-American psychoanalyst Hilde Bruch published The Golden Cage: the Enigma of Anorexia Nervosa in 1978. This book created a wider interest in anorexia nervosa among lay readers. Bruch postulated that anorexia nervosa is a "desperate struggle for a self-respecting identity". Despite major advances in neuroscience,[108] Bruch's theories tend to dominate popular thinking. A further important event was the death of the popular singer and drummer Karen Carpenter in 1983, which prompted widespread ongoing media coverage of eating disorders. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness[255] and continues to be in the public eye. "Pro-ana" websites range from those claiming to be a safe-space for anorexics to discuss their problems, to those supporting anorexia as a lifestyle choice and offering "thinspiration," or photos and videos of thin or emaciated women. A survey by Internet security firm Optenet found a 470% increase in pro-ana and pro-mia (as in bulimia) sites from 2006 to 2007.[256] Many celebrities have come forward discussing their struggles with anorexia, increasing awareness of the disease. Celebrities who have come forward publicly to discuss their experiences with anorexia include singer Fiona Apple, who purposely lost weight to discourage unwanted sexual advances after being raped at age 12,[257] Portia de Rossi,[258] Calista Flockhart,[259] Tracey Gold,[260] whose difficult recovery was well publicized by the media after her weight dropped to 80 pounds (36 kg) on her 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m) frame and she was hospitalized,[261] Mary-Kate Olsen,[262] Alanis Morissette,[263] and French model Isabelle Caro, who died due to complications related to anorexia.

WASHINGTON – Indiana's season ended earlier than expected.
The Hoosiers, who were the preseason No. 1 and spent 10 weeks atop the Associated Press poll, fell 61-50 to Syracuse in the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 on Thursday in the Verizon Center.
It was a postseason blow Indiana experienced last year, when it lost in the regional semifinals to Kentucky.
But this year's NCAA elimination was different after the Hoosiers won the program's first outright Big Ten regular-season title since 1993, earned the third NCAA No. 1 seed in school history and finished tied for the fifth-most victories in IU history at 29-6.
The bottom line is that this program has come from so far, and I hope at some point in time, the seniors, the guys on this team will remember that they did things that hadn't been done, first off in 20 years at Indiana, but more importantly, there are not any programs – whether this be Syracuse, Kentucky, Carolina, Duke, you name it – that are the blue-blood programs of the country that have had to endure what these guys have had to endure, Indiana coach Tom Crean said. They have done it with perseverance, toughness and improvement, and they have done it with great class and they will all be better for it.
That's how I view it.
Indiana will look different next season as it could lose four starters.
Forward Christian Watford, who averaged 12.4 points and 6.3 rebounds, and guard Jordan Hulls, who averaged 9.7 points and 3 assists, will graduate. Reserve forward Derek Elston also graduates.
IU could also lose leading scorer and rebounder Cody Zeller, who averaged 16.5 points and 8.1 rebounds, and second-leading scorer and rebounder Victor Oladipo, who averaged 13.6 points and 6.3 rebounds, to the NBA. Zeller, a 7-foot sophomore, and Oladipo, a 6-5 junior, could both declare for the NBA draft.
Oladipo and Zeller said after Thursday's loss that they were not sure whether they would return or not.
I don't know what the process is like from here, Zeller said. I've put everything into this team and this tournament. I don't even know where I go from here.
If Oladipo and Zeller do go, only point guard Kevin Yogi Ferrell will return from the starting lineup. The 6-foot guard averaged 7.6 points and 4.1 assists, but he struggled in the final two NCAA tournament games, going 0 for 4 from the field with seven turnovers.
Ferrell started the NCAA tournament with a 16-point, eight-rebound and six-assist performance in an 83-62 win over James Madison.
The Hoosiers will likely move reserve guard Will Sheehey, who averaged 9.5 points and was named the Big Ten's sixth man of the year, into the starting lineup next season.
IU will also look for Remy Abell, who averaged 4 points in 12.5 minutes per game, and Jeremy Hollowell, who averaged 2.8 points in 9.7 minutes per game, to take on expanded roles.
Indiana has a strong incoming freshman class in forwards Devin Davis, Luke Fischer, Collin Hartman, Noah Vonleh and Troy Williams along with guard Stanford Robinson. The class was ranked No. 3 by Rivals.com and Scout.com.
I feel like the younger guys have seen how hard some of the veterans have been working, we've already been working that hard and that work ethic will continue to increase in the following years, Ferrell said of the program's future.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Two California men were charged with swindling more than 20,000 American Express Card holders.
The U.S. Attorney in Sacramento announced Friday that 33-year-old Mihran Melkonyan and 39-year-old Androuslan Akhmerov were each charged with 23 counts of felony mail faud.
The two are accused of establishing a fictitious business that appeared legitimate to siphon off small charges in the range of $15 to $30 from each of their alleged victims. Investigators said the pair are accused of keeping the charges low so customers wouldn't notice them and notify authorities.
Akhmerov of Los Angeles was arrested on March 5 and is free on bail. Melkonyan of Sacramento remains at large.

If so, a contact printing frame with a scratch-free glass and an even light source should be all the tools you need. You do not need to engineer the process to death - you just need a good negative that has the printing characteristics that match the paper you are printing on and your personal vision as an artist to guide you to a finished print. You should also be having some fun in the process!

In The Wizard of Ozeveryone is thinking about Dorothy. But Stephen Schwartz's and Winnie Holzman's award-winning Broadway musical Wickedshows us that the folks in Oz couldn't have cared less about some pipsqueak from Kansas. In the hugely successful 2003 musical retelling of the Oz story, the central characters are Elphaba, a magically talented green girl who grows up to become the deeply misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, a blond, politically savvy teen who has to learn how to be the Good Witch that she's destined to become. The very cool girl-power story is about politics, a friendship between these two girls who have almost nothing in common, and the way stories can turn the truth upside down - Elphaba is truly good after all. The show features some really fabulous musical numbers, including "Popular," "Defying Gravity" and "No One Mourns the Wicked." 8 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 2 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sundays. Through July 25. Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, 800 Bagby. For information, call 713-622-7469 or visit www.broadwayacrossamerica.com. $54.35 to $147.70.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: June 30. Continues through July 25, 2010

There are more than enough laws on the books, enforce them, rather than making more laws to ignore.

The vast majority of so-called "gun violence" is being perpetrated by very dangerous mentally ill people that both law enforcement and the mental health industry cannot control or criminal youth gangs, two facets of society that do not obey laws, especially gun control laws that seek to take away their tool for doing harm to others, and specifically with the gangs their best defense against others who seek to perpetrate "gun violence" against them.

The left will not stop proposing new legislation until they take away the rights granted under the Constitution. Then when the violence doesn´t subside they will wring their hands and propose a police state to control the crime.The cradle of liberty will woo be the Socialist Republic of Massachusetts.

Web 2.0 Suicide, Not Armageddon, Komen's Problem
Breast cancer is personal for me. My own grandmother survived breast cancer. Three of my coworkers had breast cancer and one died, leaving two young children. Another friend of mine also survived breast cancer. For that reason, when I received a direct message from Beth Kanter on Twitter asking me to post tweets with #takebackthepink and #supercure during the SuperBowl I did. I supported Beth's efforts to make women's health care accessible to everyone. Every … [Read more...]
Conversation, not Context or Content, is King
What do you think you would need most to harness the Internet to transform Facebook's privacy policy in Europe? Great storytelling (a.k.a. content)? Opinion leaders or household names driving traffic to your killer web presence and its top-notch user experience (a.k.a. context)?

Video Clip of the Month: Concentrate on Relationships
Groundswell is so far the best book on social media I've ever read. Written by Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff (and recently updated), the book is a must read for anyone who pieces together coherant communications strategies. My favorite quote — "concentrate on the relationships, not the technologies" — supports the book's four steps for social media planning: (1) people, (2) objectives, (3) strategy, and (4) technology. It also sets the stage for a brilliant … [Read more...]
Understanding Values from Around the World
Today, every organization is a global brand. Thanks to Web 2.0, people from around the world can access your content, discover and interact with other members of your online communities, and add their own voice to the conversation.

Are there cultural taboos you need to be aware of? Fortunately, a … [Read more...]
An Influencer Is an Influencer Is an Influencer?
"Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," is a Gertrude Stein quote we've all heard reminding us things are what they are no matter what you call them.

HOW TO: Unleash the 'Crowd' to Create Change
A Communications 301 rule of thumb is "information alone doesn't change behavior."

O.K., maybe they'll give you a thumbs up, but they won't act.

Strategic or Scary? Public Diplomacy Commission Cut
After Tripoli fell to anti-Gaddafi forces last August, I remembered a particularly clairvoyant blog post/radio interview I ran across a couple of months earlier. The blog post/radio interview gave a spot on analysis of how information could be used to empower Libyans to take back their own country.

Did No Social Media Policy Lead to Racist Remarks?
A dozen or more New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers could get dooced for posting offensive comments on Facebook calling West Indian Day parade-goers in Brooklyn "savages," "filth," and "animals."

Chilling video images surfaced online today showing a campus police officer at the University of California, Davis, calmly pepper spraying the faces of Occupy Wall Street protesters seated quietly in a line with their arms interlocked.

The Klout Fallacy from Its Marketing Manager Herself
I hit the Klout jackpot this week. No, my Klout score of 40 isn't suddenly up. Klout's Marketing Manager Megan Berry personally left an incredibly insightful comment on my blog.

My experiments with installing Ubuntu 13.04 (pre-release) with UEFI Boot
Summary: The Live image is Secure Boot compatible, but the installed system is not?
9 of 13Image
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Disk partitioning
Now we are back at the partitioner display, and it shows the selection for the root filesystem.
Unfortunately, the UEFI Boot gets even more confusing here. It still doesn't show that it is going to do anything with the EFI partition (you can't see it here, but trust me, that part still looks exctly as it did two screens ago), and now it is still giving you a choice of the "Device for Bootloader installation". What the heck does that mean?
If it is going to do a UEFI Boot installation, then it will install the bootloader to the efi partition, so why does it need you to select anything here? Or perhaps you are supposed to select the EFI parition?
Or is it going to make new EFI partition for its own use, like Fedora does by default?
Or is it going to install the legacy boot loader to wherever you select here? I just don't understand what it wants.
All I can tell you is that I am paranoid enough that I don't want to risk having it install the bootloader to the MBR (or turn the entire SDA device into one huge EFI boot partition? Ack!), so I always change the partition that will contain the root filesystem.
To be honest, what I suspect is that when doing a UEFI Boot installation, this input field is ignored, but I have never seen that documented anywhere, so who really knows for sure?
When I click on "Install now", ubiquity will do just that — it goes off in the background and starts performing the installation. At the same time, it will progress to the next screen and continue the user input.
Timezone Selection
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Timezone selection
This is where you select the timezone by clicking on the map. As far as I can tell, only by clicking on the map. I haven't been able to get the text bar to do anything useful.
If you happen to live in a relatively small country, such as Switzerland, it can be challenging to find the right place to click.
(Image: Screenshot by JA Watson/ZDNet)
Keyboard selection
This is where you select your default keyboard layout. There is a text input box where you can type after making the selection to be sure that you chose the right one. If you aren't sure, or you just feel like a laugh, you can go through the "Detect keyboard layout" procedure.

When the draperies were removed from the windows of Blair House, the president`s guest house for visiting heads of state, they disintegrated. Also, the gas boiler nearly exploded and a chandelier came crashing down, fortunately on an empty bed.
Clearly it was time for a renovation of 1650 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., and for the past 15 months the grand old house has looked more like a construction site than one of Washington`s most historic buildings. Congress has appropriated $8.6 million for the restoration work, and $4 million more has been pledged by private donors to redecorate the rooms.

soft shell crab
are there restaurants in the eastbay serving fresh soft shell crab
Thread from last year around this time: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/789515
Most of the sushi places have it in season.
re: Robert Lauriston
Lalime's has been doing soft shell crab "burgers" on several weekend nights, after 8 PM. They did last night, and I believe did a couple of weekends ago.
re: majordanby
on Hopkins not Gilman
re: chocolatetartguy
have considered going to Angeline's for the first time just to have soft shell crab -- why do they get your thumbs down ?
re: moto
I work around the corner from there and was very excited when they 1st opened as New Orleans is, by far, my favorite food destination. My personal reservation about Angeline's is that it just doesn't evoke New Orleans for me: Brigtsen's, Chez Helene, Streetcar Sandwiches. Bon Ton Cafe, Commander's Palace. But that's just my own opinion, you should give it a try.
The original owner (now deceased) was a genuinely sweet guy. Tthey certainly generate a party atmosphere and are immensely popular in Berkeley. I did celebrate a birthday there and had the soft shell crab. It was good, but not great. I probably had better back in the day at the Elite Cafe. Does the Boxing Room serve soft-shells? I don't believe in giving thumbs down, just not giving it thumbs up.
re: chocolatetartguy
thanks. love the style of cooking myself, as well, and am usually reluctant to try places because the nuances that matter usually get lost in transplanting. Brigsten's is outstanding and a very high bar to meet, but in general the best Creole cooking has subtlety and delicacy. have heard the cooking of the SF chef Vernon Morales is pretty good, but haven't tried it yet either.
re: moto
Not expecting top find a Brigtsen's out west, but I look for what Paul Prudhomme called roundness of flavor.
Aside from the the one year when K-Paul set up in the Old Waldorf? location for a few weeks in the late 80's and later came out to the New Orleans faire in Mountain View, there are only two places that have given me that laissez bon temps roule feeling: LA Bayou, which closed years ago, and the Prudhomme favorite Popeye's Fried Chicken. I do like the gumbo at Dorsey's Locker. I liked Elite Cafe years ago. I have not tried many of the places in the City though.
I was watching the tail end of the Thunder raining on the Heat's parade in the window of Bec's last night and moseyed over to Angelines to check the menu. Soft Shells are not on the menu and not sure if they have specials. I had them there several years ago.
Getting back to the original post, wouldn't some of the local seafood places have soft shells? Hayes Street B&G? Sea Salt?
re: chocolatetartguy
I remember that year. Did a music gig with the legendary Alan Tousaint of New Orleans and it turned out his family owned a place called Pookies in Oakland. Great food. Like in NOLA. Yes, I know. I have lived in the South and made films tehre and spent much time in NOLA
re: smokestack lightning
I still remember having blackened prime rib at K-Pauls SF that sent me over the rainbow. My friend Claire and her cop roommate and I waited for hours to get in, but it was well worth it.
There is some damn good gumbo in local soul food joints. I've had it at a little place across from Berkeley High School and a fried fish/burrito joint in the Loren district. Both are now awol.
re: drewskiSF
we phoned Mua in re. to that dish, and they don't use fresh crabs. places that serve 'em year 'round often rely on frozen stuff. we're headed to SF this weekend to have them.
re: drewskiSF
Range did list them on their sample menu on line, specifying either Chesapeake or Maryland crab, but now the menu doesn't have them. will need to call them the day before we go, to confirm availability and our reservation.
re: moto
Ugh! Soft-shelled crabs NEED to be fresh. Anyone from the Deep South, including NOLA, can tell, at first sniff.
If they ARE frozen, then there are too many differences. Might as well go for a dish, featuring "Krab," or, better yet, skip dining there.
Last year, I got into a real, knock-down, drag-out with a chef in VA, who initially claimed that he had "Fresh Chesapeake Bay Soft-shells." Yeah right! He sent word, via the server, that they were alive, just moments before. I challenged him to a "taste-off," but he declined. I asked to see the "live crabs," but again, he declined. I finally told the server that the chef was being totally dishonest," and he came out - finally. I told him that he lied, and that the crabs had been long-frozen. He could not produce one live crab, and left, before I challenged him to a "knife-throwing" exercise. He comp'ed both meals, as he knew that he had used long-frozen crabs, in hope that no one could tell. Well, we could, and he lied.
re: Bill Hunt
our one visit to NOLA was a long-ago Feb. and we didn't get crab. by far the best we've tried was in late spring in VA. can't expect anything we try out here to equal it, but close will be good enough. hope you and your spouse enjoyed your visit.
re: moto
Yes, it IS seasonal. While we are from the New Orleans environs, and grew up with soft-shelled crabs, we do sample them elsewhere.
Actually, the best, out of maybe 500 was in Denver, CO, when Michael Dagenhart was chef at Tante Louise. It was June, and he had just received them via express air. His "Pecan-Crusted, Garlic Braised Soft-Shell Crab" was the ultimate. I mean no disrespect to Chefs, like John Besh, Frank Birgtsen, Emeril Lagasse and Paul Prudhomme, but a Denver chef won first place.
We have also had some very bleak versions from the Chesapeake Bay, but those were awfully early, and though the chef swore that they were alive that AM, I highly doubt it. I maintain that they were frozen, and for a very, very long time.
I know several chefs in New Orleans, who will NOT serve any soft-shells, if they are not fresh, and actually "alive that day," and I admire their fortitude. A fresh, well-prepared soft-shell is a joy, at least to us.
There was a tasty soft shell crab dish in the tasting menu at Haven in Oakland a week and half ago.
AQ has soft shell crab on its appetizer listing for the Spring Menu.
The Summer menu begins on Tuesday.
re: Robert Lauriston
Is that on the menu for the week? I was looking to get something to go tomorrow to eat while I watch Heat vs Thunder tomorrow. Cafe Rouge is very near my house.
re: chocolatetartguy
Probably, who knows? It was good. I don't know about getting it to go, seems like it needs to be eaten warm.
re: Robert Lauriston
Was it an appetizer? I live 4 short blocks away. Don't want to miss the game.
re: pikawicca
Definitely not local, but live soft shell crabs are available here during the season which is right now. One should definitely verify by asking if frozen or fresh.
re: pikawicca
Yes, they are most often blue crab, but most of the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Pontchartrain, and part of the East Coast will have live soft-shells, from late May to mid-August in most years. Dates are subject to change slightly.
I do agree that frozen soft-shells are not worth the $, but if shipped live, SF should not have an issue. We get them in Phoenix, and it's only an additional 651 miles for the Fed-X plane.
