Euro Agency Publishes Annual Report
A total of 81 medicines for human use were recommended for marketing authorization by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), compared with 57 in 2012, according to EMA's 2013 annual report.
The number of medicines containing a new active substance has continuously increased for the past three years, while the number of generics is stable compared with 2012 but generally decreasing over the last few years, noted the report. Two new advanced-therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) were recommended for approval in 2013, bringing to four the total number of ATMPs recommended for approval by the CHMP since the legislation on advanced therapies was introduced.
The number of recommendations for approval of medicines intended for the treatment of rare diseases is steadily growing, with 11 orphan medicines recommended in 2013 compared with eight in 2012 and four in 2011. Last year also saw the first two positive opinions for marketing authorizations of biosimilar monoclonal antibodies, successfully applying the biosimilar concept to such structurally complex substances, the authors wrote.
Among the key projects highlighted in the document are the plans to publish and give access to clinical trial data submitted to the agency as part of a marketing authorization application, the stronger interaction with health-technology assessment bodies to facilitate patients' access to medicines, the agency's pharmacovigilance activities, and the reorganization of the EMA and the implementation of new legislation.

UK inks space research deal with Russia
I don't know about the UK government, but here at Cardiff University, a team from the Cardiff Center for Astro-Biology (CCAB) has been invited to collaborate on two new space missions, the Bion and the Foton, to run astrobiological experiments. Part of the purpose of these experiments is the investigation of exo-planetary bacteria and the ability of simple life-forms, such as tardigrades, to survive the large temperature variations, the radiation and the large acceleration-deceleration shocks. Our Russian counterparts have already visited Cardiff to set up the collaboration.
Anonymous hackers' Wikileaks 'infowar' LATEST ROUNDUP
Waddaya mean "wouldn't allow someone with a criminal record for bank robbery run the bank"? Don't you read the papers? The biggest financial crooks in the world are those who are now running the bloody banks.
Also the biggest liars in the country are now running the country. Jeez, wake up! - or were you just born self-righteous?

Always called mine 'me pink 'at', cos after a few years they fades from maroon to pink. Any way, jumpin out of hairyplanes is just a quicker way of getting to the place where people are waiting to shoot your arse off. They trained us to march long distances - which should give us time for the enemy to have run out of ammo, then they bungs us in a plane and shoves us out of the door while the enemy still has some left. Not fair. Also, you can't go back up and ask the pilot to turn it round and take you back. You've soddin-well got to walk back. Barstards. I've kept my 'pink 'at' for sixty years now as a warning not to be so stupid again - but guess what? Bugger the moaning - if I had the chance to do it all over again, nothing would stop me!
Boeing's Honda-FCX-style fuel cell glider 'success'
to Graham: not if you're a flyboy it ain't. It's up in the bright shiny blue.
oh, hang gliders!
Take some balsa wood, tissue paper, glue and aerodope: now find the plans for the "Skylon" free-flight, (nearly) glider. Build same. Instead of an ED Bee 1 c.c. engine, put a little d.c. motor on the engine mounts, and shove a propellor on the shaft: place around eight square inches of 1980s solar cell on the wing upper surfaces and solder leads to your motor. Put a small switch in if you want. It's probably better if you offset the rudder to make the plane fly in circles.
Launch your plane by hand on a sunny day. With just a small dihedral, she will climb gracefully up into the oggin, and won't come down til nightfall.
Who says you need money to build an electric plane?
Incidentally, without the rudder offset, you'll spend all day running for miles and miles and miles, because the bugger will not stop.
Not the sort of kite to carry a small strategic nuke, so it can't cause much harm, and the USG probably won't break your door down to borrow it to fly in Iraq.

Nanoscale platform detects single DNA molecules
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new, carbon-based nanoscale platform to electrically detect single DNA molecules.
Using electric fields, the tiny DNA strands are pushed through nanoscale-sized, atomically thin pores in a graphene nanopore platform that ultimately may be important for fast electronic sequencing of the four chemical bases of DNA based on their unique electrical signature.
The pores, burned into graphene membranes using electron beam technology, provide Penn physicists with electronic measurements of the translocation of DNA.
The article, submitted on March 25, is published in the current issue of Nano Letters.
We were motivated to exploit the unique properties of graphene a two-dimensional sheet of carbon atoms in order to develop a new nanopore electrical platform that could exhibit high resolution, said Marija Drndić, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in Penns School of Arts and Sciences and the papers senior author. High resolution of graphene nanopore devices is expected because the thickness of the graphene sheet is smaller than the distance between two DNA bases. Graphene has previously been used for other electrical and mechanical devices, but up until now it has not been used for DNA translocation.
The research team had made graphene nanopores in a study completed two years ago and in this study put the pores to work.
To conduct the experiments, Drndić and postdoctoral fellow Christopher A. Merchant, together with Ken Healy, Meni Wanunu, Vishva Ray and other members from the Drndić lab made use of large-area graphene material developed by postdoctoral fellow Zhengtang Luo and Professor A.T. Charlie Johnson, both physicists at Penn. The team used a chemical vapor deposition, or CVD, method to grow large flakes of graphene and suspend them over a single micron-sized hole made in silicon nitride. An even smaller hole, the nanopore in the very center of the suspended graphene, was then drilled with an electron beam of a transmission electron microscope, or TEM.
Solid-state nanopores are proving to be invaluable tools for probing biology at the single-molecule level.
Graphene nanopore devices developed by the Penn team work in a simple manner. The pore divides two chambers of electrolyte solution and researchers apply voltage, which drives ions through the pores. Ion transport is measured as a current flowing from the voltage source. DNA molecules, inserted into the electrolyte, can be driven single file through such nanopores.
As the molecules translocate, they block the flow of ions and are detected as a drop in the measured current. Because the four DNA bases block the current differently, graphene nanopores with sub-nanometer thickness may provide a way to distinguish among bases, realizing a low-cost, high-throughput DNA sequencing technique.
In addition, to increase the robustness of graphene nanopore devices, Penn researchers also deposited an ultrathin layer, only a few atomic layers thick, of titanium oxide on the membrane which further generated a cleaner, more easily wettable surface that allows the DNA to go through it more easily. Although graphene-only nanopores can be used for translocating DNA, coating the graphene membranes with a layer of oxide consistently reduced the nanopore noise level and at the same time improved the robustness of the device.
Because of the ultrathin nature of the graphene pores, researchers were able to detect an increase in the magnitude of the translocation signals relative to previous solid state nanopores made in silicon nitride, for similar applied voltages.
The Penn team is now working on improving the overall reliability of these devices and on utilizing the conductivity of the graphene sheet to create devices with transverse electrical control over DNA transport. Specifically, this transverse electrical control may be achievable by carving graphene into nanoelectrodes and utilizing its conducting nature. Towards this goal, Michael Fischbein and Drndic have previously demonstrated nanosculpting of graphene into arbitrary structures, such as nanoribbons, nanopores and other shapes, published in Applied Physics Letters in 2008, creating a firm foundation for future research.

text: Bloomberg Sends $1 Million to Floundering Booker NJ Senate Campaign Print article Send a Tip by Michael Patrick Leahy 7 Oct 2013 post a comment Recent polls in the New Jersey special Senate election, which will be held next week, indicate that Republican Senate nominee Steve Lonegan's hard charging attacks on Democratic Senate nominee and Newark Mayor Cory Booker have caused Garden State voters to re-examine the inevitable coronation of Booker as the successor to the late Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ). With some polls showing Lonegan now within striking distance, Booker's allies are concerned about the outcome of the election. One of Booker's biggest fans, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is sufficiently worried that he is sending a $1 million political care package of television ads to help drag Booker across the finish line with a victory. As the New York Times reported on Monday, Booker "is an undisputed star of a new generation of African-American leaders, electrifying liberal audiences with his oratory and charming the social media set with his digital savvy." But Booker's "sputtering, unfocused" campaign "has unnerved his supporters, who thought that a robust and unblemished victory over his Republican opponent, Steve Lonegan, would catapult him onto the national stage." Lonegan, the Tea Party-aligned candidate who lost a bitterly contested 2009 GOP gubernatorial primary to current New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, has hit Booker hard for being a persona rather than a practical politician who gets things done. As the Times reported, "A radio commercial hammered Mr. Booker, 44, for traveling to the West Coast a few weeks ago to attend a fund-raiser with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck after murders had spiked in Newark, declaring: 'While you're listening to this ad, Cory Booker is in California, getting as far away as he can from his own city's problems.'" According to the Times, Bloomberg "will start spending more than $1 million on Monday to broadcast television commercials on Mr. Booker's behalf, a vast sum to pour into a single candidacy." Bloomberg says he supports Booker because the Newark mayor "is a solutions guy rather than an ideologue." For his part, Booker is hoping that Bloomberg's last minute million dollar campaign rescue package will provide his own electoral solution next week.

Indiana's energy profile on a federal website explains why state political and business leaders would resist a regulation to cut carbon emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels.
"Indiana ranked seventh among the states in coal production in 2012, and coal-fired electric power plants provided about 84% of Indiana's net electricity generation in 2013," according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration website.
The nationwide rate was 37 percent. Only West Virginia, Kentucky and Wyoming rely more on coal for their power than Indiana does, The Associated Press has reported.
So when the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule Monday for reducing carbon emissions by as much as 30 percent, Hoosier officials lashed back.
"Indiana will oppose these regulations using every means available," Gov. Mike Pence said in a statement.
"The EPA's proposed rules amount to a backdoor energy tax that will damage Indiana's economy and hike electric bills for all Hoosiers," Sen. Dan Coats, R-Ind., said in a statement.
The Indiana Chamber of Commerce called the emissions regulation "potentially devastating to our state," in part because of the cost to manufacturers.
Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., neither rejected nor endorsed the plan but insisted on conditions. He said in a statement that the EPA must preserve competitive electricity rates and "reflect emissions reductions that are achievable with existing technology so that we can protect our environment without harming our economy."
Indiana environmental groups praised the Obama administration's effort to limit pollutants that scientists say contribute to global warming and cause health ailments.
"The things we love most about Indiana, our homes and the health of our families are at risk. The time to act is now," Steve Francis, chairman of the Sierra Club Hoosier Chapter, said in a statement.
The Hoosier Environmental Council pointed out that the regulations would give the state 15 years to reduce its 2005 carbon emission levels by 20 percent, according to the federal formula.
"This will not only allow Indiana companies to cost-effectively comply with this policy, but will allow Indiana to become a major market for innovation in low-carbon technologies," the council's executive director, Jesse Kharbanda, said in a statement.
Such a conversion would require an about-face for much of Indiana's energy industry. The Energy Information Administration says that Indiana consumed 8 ½ times more coal as it did renewable energy in 2012 and nearly twice as much coal as cleaner-burning natural gas.
By comparison, Michigan uses much more natural gas than coal. Illinois consumes more nuclear power than either coal or natural gas. And Ohio's power portfolio, in which coal accounts for 69 percent of electricity generation, is more diverse than Indiana's.The administration's profile of Indiana does mention that the nation's largest geothermal heating and cooling system is being built in Muncie, on the campus of Ball State University.
A much smaller geothermal system is being installed at Indiana Tech by Fort Wayne-based WaterFurnace. Both projects – geothermal systems use pipes and pumps to transfer heat between buildings and the ground – have received federal subsidies. Also, an Indianapolis utility reportedly is converting two coal-fired power plants to natural gas.

He is forced to return home and remain under the watchful eye of his uncle Claudius, who has seized the throne and married Hamlet's mother, the weak-willed Queen Gertrude. Even the love of Ophelia, the prime minister Polonius' daughter, is denied to Hamlet by Polonius and Ophelia's brother Leartes. Despondent, Hamlet is told by his trusted friend Horatio that his father's ghost has been seen haunting the battlements of the castle. Encountering the Ghost, Hamlet learns that Claudius poisoned him, and Hamlet, affecting a strange and erratic manner, plots his revenge. Polonius is certain that Hamlet has gone mad for love of Ophelia, but, after watching the two of them together, Claudius is not so sure.

Dymo LabelWriter versus Brother QL Printer
|Date Added: October 30, 2010 11:29:33 AM
|Author: CrazyDave
|Category: Shopping: Office Supplies and Equipment: Labels and Label Printers
What are your needs in a label printer? The Dymo LabelWriter and the Brother label printer are the top two label printers, and looking at them objectively to see what they have to offer might make your decision a little easier.
Dymo LabelWriter 450 Duo - This model prints an incredible 71 four-line labels per minute. It prints almost any label you might need including address labels, shipping labels, name badges, and file folder labels. It also prints plastic colored labels for the areas that are handled a great deal. The Dymo LabelWriter never needs ink or toner so your supply expenses are reduced. The software that comes standard with the label printer allows for printing directly from popular text programs. It operates with Mac and Windows operating systems, and it comes with starter printer label and a two-year warranty.
Dymo LabelWriter 450 Twin - This model holds two label rolls at a time allowing for faster printing when you have many labels to print. You can't find a faster address printer than the Twin. Printing is done on one roll at a time, but it switches automatically when one roll runs out. This works great when you have several labels to print. Other features are the same as the Dymo LabelWriter 450 Duo.
Brother QL-1060N - This Brother label printer has a built-in Ethernet connection to allow for easy networking. The four-inch print head is the right size for barcode printing and shipping labels. It also has a built in cutter so that longer labels can be printed as in banner lengths. The Brother label printer has 300 dpi resolution and prints approximately 69 four-line address labels per minute. Each printer label has the ability to feature excellent detail. Direct thermal printing allows for low maintenance. P-touch editor V5 software has three input modes. Incorporate images onto labels by easily taking screen captures and sizing them onto labels. The supplied software has a variety of built-in barcodes. The development software makes it easy to integrate the Brother QL-1060N on any network. You can print address labels, large shipping labels, visitor badges, banners, small signage, file folders, and mailing labels.
With the Brother QL-570VM Visitor Badge & Management Kit, you not only can print badges, but you have a data bank of the badges you've printed and a report generation accessible to almost any organization. If you need a better way to track entry and exit data on visitors, this is the software for you. The database program stores and offers the ability to query visitor records. The included P-Touch Editor software gives much greater capabilities to import graphics that make badges more unique and professional looking. (This is the software you need if your organization needs an efficient way to track visitor entry and exit information. The program allows users the ability to search the database records for specific visitor information. Badges are more professional and unique looking, also, because of the included P-Touch Editor software.) There are two check-in modes offered: Self Check-in mode for events and trade shows, and Reception mode for assisted check-in. The package includes the Brother QL-570 label printer, editing software, two rolls of badge stock, and twelve badge holders and lanyards. As you can see, both printers have great things going for them.
Brother has a printer specifically for badges, if that is the only thing you need. If you require address labels, then either Dymo LabelWriter is an excellent choice, and the Brother label printer compares favorably with them. (It is obvious that both the Dymo and Brother label printers have some excellent capabilities. The Brother can be used specifically for visitor badges and is a wise choice if that is all you require. The Dymo LabelWriter or the Brother either one are great choices if you need address labels.) Either of these office label printers will serve you well, and it's hard to choose between them. The Dymo name is probably better known and it prints slightly faster than its competition, but the Brother name has become one of high standards, too.

ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich.— Scams are everywhere; that's why the Kent County Sheriff's Department is holding a two-part workshop to help residents protect themselves.
The first session is noon on Tuesday, Aug. 12 at the Alpine Township Center, located at 5255 Alpine Ave. NW. Reservations are required and can be made by calling Dawn at (616) 784-9622.
The seminar is sponsored by Edward Jones and will address a variety of schemes, including credit card fraud, identity theft, phishing and computer hackers. The program is free and includes a light lunch. The second session will take place Aug. 19.
KENT COUNTY, Mich.—Four additional officers from the Kent County Sheriff's Department will be patrolling the hallways and grounds of West Michigan schools next fall.
The Kent County Board of Commissioners last week approved contracts in which the Kent County Sheriff Department will provide a school resource officer to Byron Center Public Schools, Kent City Community Schools and Kenowa Hills Public Schools. Lowell Area Schools is working with a community partner to fund a school resource officer and hopes to commit to a contract in the coming weeks.
The SROs will improve school safety by investigating school related incidences and taking a proactive approach to deter violence and crime on campus.
KENT COUNTY, Mich.—The sheriff department is warning residents about a scam that's made its way into Kent County.
On June 16, a resident contacted the sheriff department to report a suspicious phone call. The suspect masked their phone number so it appeared the phone call was coming from the Kent County Sheriff Department. The predator told the victim the Kent County Sheriff Department had a warrant out for their arrest and they needed to pay hundreds of dollars to take care of the warrant. The scammer also used an actual sheriff department employee's name. Fortunately, the victim thought the call was suspicious and contacted deputies.
COMSTOCK PARK, Mich.—Kent County Sheriff's deputies do not believe thefts that took place at York Creek Apartments this past weekend are connected to a string of crimes within the county.
The suspects targeted at least one vehicle between 6 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Sunday. Deputies say they propped one vehicle on cinder blocks before stealing its rim and tire. One resident says several vehicles were vandalized, but only one of the thefts was reported to deputies.
So far, no arrests have been made.
GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)--Four people have been arrested in connection with a series of thefts ofseveral high-priced items in West Michigan.
Kent County deputies and other investigators searched several homes and one business in Wyoming, Cadillac, Grand Rapids Township, Hastings, and the Grand Rapids area and recovered the stolen property. Property recovered includes a Triumph motorcycle, a Chevrolet Impala, a Yamaha golf cart, a 350 small block GM engine, compound bows, tools, golf clubs, antique military paraphernalia and a 20-gauge shotgun. Also recovered was a Borg Warner T10 4-Speed Transmission, which was described by the victim as being one of only twelve for sale in the country in its condition.
One of the four suspects is a juvenile. The others are described as being 17, 21, and 22 years old. More charges are expected in Newaygo and Montcalm counties.
The thefts occurred in the following areas:
If you had property stolen in Ionia County, now is your last chance to claim it.
The Ionia County Sheriff's Office will auction off recovered property that was never claimed on May 30 at M&W Inc., located in Comstock Park.
The sheriff's department has compiled a list of property that will be up for bid, which you can find by clicking here. If you recognize your property, contact the sheriff's office at (616) 527-5737 to claim it.
The auction begins at 9 a.m. Thursday. M&W Inc. is located at 979 West River Center Dr. NE.
The school year is wrapping up for many people, but it's just beginning for dozens prospective Michigan State Police troopers.
Sunday, May 12, 80 men and women from across the state began the 125th Trooper Recruit School. For the next 21 weeks, MSP members and academy staff will train the recruits in firearms, water safety, defensive tactics, patrol techniques, report writing, ethics, first aid, criminal law, crime scene processing and precision driving. Recruits who successfully complete the training will graduate October 4.
Michigan State Police selected recruits from more than 3,000 potential candidates.

I don't want to scoop myself, but I was an early patron at Johnny Monis's new Thai restaurant (right next to his Greek destination, Komi, in Dupont Circle) and I plan to preview the place Nov. 16 in the Food section.
You are right: The newcomer does not take reservations. The cost is $45 a person for a multi-course dinner, exclusive of wine, tax and tip. I didn't experience any wait at Little Serow, but I expect that's because Monis opened very, very quietly. I also expect that reality to change.
Sorry for the delay, but I needed to fact-check something.
You're welcome!
While I enjoyed my last meal at Central Michel Richard, there were restaurants similar to it that I liked more (and with only 40 slots, I had to be super-selective).
Charleston is still delicious, but the service there was really off the night I visited: cool, distant, unwelcoming.
As for La Caraquena, the coooking isn't as exciting as I remember it from last year, plusit was annoying to watch the owner not lift a finger when his small staff struggled to keep up with a busy dining room.
Columbia Room and Trummer's? See above. They were not included so as to make room for a few newcomers I particularly liked.
Bottom line: In most cases, you're going to pay a premium to dine out in a high-end restaurant Dec. 31. I'm a big advocate of celebrating the holiday just before or just after New Year's Eve (and spend the actual date at home).
I just learned something. Thanks for the gyro source and the delicious detail.
It depends on the occasion and the restaurant. I'd be lying if I said I never jotted down a word at the table, but sometimes I do that, to record, say, an accurate quote from a server or recall the music being played or the details of an especially complicated dish.
The older I get, the harder it is to carry on a conversation and remember everything that happens during a two-hour lunch or dinner with tablemates. I always have a pen and paper in my jacket; typically, I''' excuse myself to take notes in the restroom. Otherwise, I'm pretty disciplined about sitting down at the computer at home and typing everything I recall from the meal I just ate.
What I try to do is blend in, be quick about anything I jot down. Have you noticed how many people are typing away on their phones or Ipads when you go out? Maybe I'm one of them. Maybe I'm not!
Hmmm. That's a toughie, since I haven't seen all the menus of all the Thanksgiving providers yet. But I like the idea of something cozy (Perry's in Adams Morgan), regional American (Vidalia in the West End) or plush-but-gracious (Plume in the Jefferson Hotel).
That help narrow your decision? I wouldn't dawdle. The clock is ticking!
Thanks for the feedback.
Let me add another option to your list: 1789 in Georgetown, now helmed by Anthony Lombardo, the former sous chef at Casa Nonna. I was there for dinner recently and had occasion to indulge in something special from a friend's cellar. The corkage fee was a fair $20.
You have my sympathy. Part of the problem I attribute to our relatively small Mexican community. Also, places that may have started out on a promising note (I'm thinking now of Casa Oaxaca in Adams Morgan) have let the quality slip over time.
Two exceptions: Taqueria La Placita in Hyattsville, true to Mexico right down to the Coke from that country, and R & R Taqueria, a scruffy but satisfying Mexican source in a gas station in Elkridge.
What am I missing, chatters?
There are more places where a diner can bring his or her own grape juice than you might think. They include Belga Cafe on the Hill (no corkage fee on Tuesdays), Cafe du Parc near the White House (free corkage Monday through Wednesday), Charlie Palmer Steak on the Hill (free corkage on Friday), Dino in Cleveland Park (free corkage Monday through Wednesday), Urbana in Dupont Circle (corkage waived on first two bottles) and the recently reviewed Thai X-ing in Ledroit Park.
Chatters, feel free to add to the list.
No. way. Jose.
Heading up to NYC this weekend for our anniversary. Haven't seen a TS' NYC postcard since 2009. May have missed a more recent one but looking for suggestions. High end or fun, price less important than value!
Fun: Danji, a teeny modern Korean spot on West 52nd, where earlier this year I enjoyed some terrific small plates, including scallion pancakes, kimchi made for the restaurant by the owner's mother-in-law, a riff on paella (it works, wonderfully) and steak tartare.
High-end: Le Bernardin, the seafood temple that recently reopened after a month-long makeover. I haven't seen the results, but I hear the room is gorgeous after not having had any work done for decades. And Eric Ripert remains one of the city's top chefs.
As far as I know, the ramen restaurant from the founder of Sushiko is still expected to set sail on Sixth St. NW in January, with Katsuya Fukushima in the kitchen.
Aside from the fledgling Little Serow? I'd probably opt for Rice on 14th St. NW.
Peaceful and good and inexpensive in Penn Quarter -- you sure you don't want a postcard view with that, too?
Seriously, your best bets are probably Oyamel or Jaleo, the Mexican- and Spanish-themed restaurants, respectively, from Jose Andres. If you get there by 6:45, 701, overlooking the Navy fountain, offers a terrific three-course menu deal for just under $30.
Anyone living in Philly would disagree with you.
As long as you don't bring in stuff that's on a restaurant's menu, or you're coming in with something special, what's wrong with the practice? I think it helps fill seats some nights.
Guajillo was good when it opened. Has anyone been there recently? I admit, I have not.
Did I miss something?
But you know how I feel: Never trust a review older than a year!
Cool news from Todd Thrasher, a partner in the business: The second branch of the wee Irish retreat created by Cathal Armstrong will include a separate bar called TNT, which stands for Tristan Noah Thrasher, who is Thrasher's young son. TNT will play rock 'n' roll and offer two drink menus, one with cocktails designed by Thrasher, the other borrowed from his fellow mixologists from around the world.
Whew. (Good advice, btw.)
I follow up on reader tips a lot, typically when the suggestions are accompanied by some understanding of the food being served.
This gets my attention: "I grew up eating Mexican food in Mexico City and I just came across a place called XYZ that reminds me of home."
This does not: "We have a favorite Chinese restaurant near our home (the General Tso chicken is to DIE for!), but it doesn't seem to be very busy. Maybe a review from you could help?"
"Great?" That's not going to happen nearby. Mitsitam, the cafeteria in the American Indian museum, is decent for what it is. Sou'wester, in the Mandarin-Oriental is quite good. If you don't mind a stroll, you could also hike over to Johnny's Half Shell on the Hill.
Some people spoil it for everybody, huh?
That's awful. The few times I've brought wine from home, I always make a point of at least ordering cocktails or even a second bottle of wine from the restaurant.
Ah, you follow me closely! Since I took the job in 2000, I 've made an attempt to highlight at least two suburban restaurants a month for the Magazine. Each month, I make anywhere from 30 to 50 resevations and note everything down -- who, what, where, the cost -- in a monthly planner.
I recently spilled Lysol on the document (don't ask) and almost had a breakdown. My calendar is my LIFE. I'd rather lose my watch or my glasses than my highly-detailed paper diary.
You can't do this job if you're not organized. Or have an assistant who is.
Locanda Verde is fun. Sushi Yasuda always transports me. Modern is one of the best museum restaurants anywhere, and if I want to splurge, I go to Eleven Madison Park.
I went to the movies once with someone who got away with sneaking in barbecue.
You said, just now: "Mitzitam, the cafeteria in the American Indian museum, is decent for what it is." In 2005 you gave it two stars, which my reading of your work suggests is much better than "decent." Has the place declined over the years? My visits earlier this year showed the food was pretty tasty; the ambiance is, of course, totally self-serve cafeteria. I would go with "good to better than good for what it is" as my call, but certainly it doesn't have the "nice sit-down restaurant " feel.
I went to Mitsitam about a month ago, for a check-up. The food is no longer quite as interesting as it was when I first wrote about it.
Sorry for the delay earlier, but I appreciate your patience. See you here again next week, same time. Ciao for now.

These stylish suits aren't empty, by any means. But we'll have to see if USA is truly willing to let its heroes' souls get emotionally naked.
The fun comes in watching the uncynical Adams learn to undercut everyone else's cunning. [27 Jun 2011, p.46]
No one expects "The Good Wife," but if the show is aiming for balance, it needs to step up its court game.
On a scale of TV series that shoot for the high end of mediocre, USA's Suits fares far better than the recently introduced TNT legal drama "Franklin & Bash." The guys in Suits are more likable, and the legal stories a little more grounded in reality.
It hasn't yet proven that it can find consistently satisfying things to do with the legal drama (Harvey's "closing" scenes are fun though I can see them becoming a bit of a crutch).
Though the series begins amusingly enough, it quickly descends into cloying buddy escapade, in which the full-of-heart slacker seeks to teach his careerist boss how to care, and the careerist boss teaches his moldable young thing about cunning and diligence and clothes that cost a mortgage payment.
You might be willing to overlook the show's structural flaws if the cases themselves were wildly compelling, but unfortunately, they are of a piece with their misguided series.

Jul 8, 2011I really think it's witty and smart. I wish more shows were like this. The thursday night is also the perfect time slot for a show like this. And the music is actually pretty good. WATCH IT PEOPLE!… Expand
Sep 20, 2012With regard to the present status of television shows, there has been lots of good shows but there has been more of bad shows. The elite members of critics usually have a very narrow sets of ideas and those ideas are fulfilled by even less number of shows. So, what we have is some overly exaggerated shows which keeps on repeating the same ideas over and over. In contrary to this, there are some shows which everybody seems to like but when the time come for the real support, people back out. Among such shows is SUITS. Now i want to highlight why critics seem to have given it an overlook rather than giving it a real chance. Firstly, it started on a network which has almost never delivered a show for the critics to worth check out. Then comes the cast, though they are amazing as it is; very few are actually immersed in eyes and hearts of people (before the show). and lastly the idea that there can almost never be any new script for a legal show because most ideas have already implemented in some overly exaggerated shows like The practice, boston legal etc. If i would have define suits in a sentence, then it would be " Suits: It is a simile to the suit which help an ordinary man turn to be extraordinary, just like it helped USA network turn to be an extraordinary network"… Expand
Jul 17, 2012I really like these 'legal' things. My last favorite of this kind is Boston Legal which was so fascinating until season 4. Comparing to BL, SUITS presents more excitement in the interplay between so many sharp characters, as well as the reasonable development of the whole story. Even without amazing closures at the end of each EP, it is more realistic and smart and attracts me a lot.… Expand
Dec 14, 2012Sharp dialogue. Good looking and likable characters. Has a flavor akin to a stripped-down Boston Legal. It's probably not going to take home an Emmy but it is better than 80% of the fare out there.… Expand
Jul 8, 2011I was looking for a show to fill a void on my late night Thursdays and Suits is definitely it! The witty one liners between Gabrielle Macht and Patrick Adams leaves me completely satisfied. The plot is somewhat repetitive (problem-> solution that fails -> someone triggers an epiphany to a new solution-> firm wins) but it is entertaining. Characters are well developed even through 3 episodes. Very satisfying.… Expand
Nov 21, 2014Awful acting however the script is not too bad. The downside it feels like a formula to make a quick slick tv show and falls short. It left me feeling cold. No episode stands up by its self that I have. highly recommend avoiding unless you start from the very first episode… Expand

Corbin, KY
For three days each August, Corbin comes alive at its annual NIBROC festival. If you did not catch that, NIBROC is Corbin spelled backwards and this festival serves as a way to celebrate the town and its community. Schools in Corbin are closed on Thursday and Friday to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to attend this fun event and take part in its family-friendly activities. Some of the festival's most traditional events include the Miss Nibroc Scholarship Pageant, carnival rides, a car and motorcycle show, craft booths, a 2K run/walk, and lots of delicious local food.
In 1940, Colonel Harland Sanders opened a cafe in North Corbin. Just a few years later, he developed a recipe for fried chicken that would soon become an important part of American history. By 1956, the chicken became so popular that Sanders decided to sell his cafe and began selling franchises for Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Harland Sanders Cafe was renovated and reopened in 1990 as a museum. Here, visitors can learn about the interesting history behind America's favorite fried chicken. You can even get a look at the kitchen where Sanders first developed the KFC secret recipe.
Within the Daniel Boone Forest on the west side of town lays the Cumberland Fall State Resort Park. This beautiful state park encompasses over 1,500 acres of land and is named after its most impressive feature, the 68-foot high Cumberland Falls. There are tons of things that visitors can do and discover in Cumberland as well. The park offers over 50 campsites, 20 miles of hiking trails, and horseback riding. You can also go fishing or white water rafting in the Cumberland River. Then, you can end day with a nice meal in the beautiful Riverview Restaurant.

I usually fret and agonize over assembling a TV Top 10 list. I worry over valuing a novel new series over a more established yet still-excellent show. I sometimes try to smoosh shows together under a theme to smuggle more than 10 onto the list. But this year, putting together the list was a pure, unconflicted pleasure. READ FULL STORY

Jay Leno bombed with Casey Anthony jokes last night
If you wanted righteous satire about the dismaying Anthony verdict, you were out of luck, with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on vacation. In fact, most of late-night was on vacation, except for Jay Leno, who bypassed satire of the media and stuck with what he knows best: "It was so hot today, people were as delirious and incoherent as a Florida jury…. This [verdict] means President Obama's economic team is only the second most clueless group of people in America." READ FULL STORY
Jon Stewart went easy on his pal Anthony Weiner. He was the only one.
Jon Stewart may have been the only television news commentator in America on Monday who did not pounce on Rep. Anthony Weiner and beat him up verbally for admitting he lied about his Twitter gaffe. Stewart was in an awkward position, having acknowledged last week that Weiner is an old friend, but even so, his restraint was striking. Of course, in the context of a TV news day that preceded Weiner's extraordinary, lengthy apology and interrogation by the (mostly) legit news media and the equally extraordinary hijacking of Weiner's announcement by blogger Andrew Breitbart, Stewart's giving a virtual pass to Weiner wasn't nearly the most striking event of the news cycle.

Sarah Palin wins by behaving like a pop star, not a politician: Could a cross between Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga get nominated? Sure.
From Memorial Day weekend through today and beyond, Sarah Palin is dominating the TV news cycle. She's doing it by providing garishly irresistible visuals — footage of her big bus, its sides decorated with images of the Constitution, the phrase "One Nation," and a plug for her website sarahpac.com — and by providing no interviews with the "lamestream media"… except for Fox News.

Glenn Beck reviews Jon Stewart's 'Rally to Restore Sanity': 'It was not good... a high-school play'
Glenn Beck offered his take on the Jon Stewart-Stephen Colbert "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" on his Monday afternoon Fox News Channel show.
Mid-way through the hour-long Glenn Beck show, Beck characterized Stewart's effort as the equivalent of "a high-school play; it was not good." Referring to much of the rally as "nonsense," Beck nonetheless said Stewart tried to give out "the same message I gave on 8/28," referring to his own D.C. rally this past August.
But unlike Beck, Stewart was "co-opted [by the liberals]. I don't think READ FULL STORY
'Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear' review: Jon Stewart led his nation, unevenly, and mostly against the media
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert led their "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" from the National Mall to a crowd at what Stewart estimated as "over ten million people." And if you believe that, you believe that John Legend does justice to Bill Withers music.
A gigantic-scale put-on laced with sincerity, the rally had something for almost everyone. This was typified by a "train" music medley: Cat Stevens/Yusuf's "Peace Train," Ozzie Osbourne's "Crazy Train," and the O'Jays' "Love Train." (When it comes to art, the O'Jays won.)
The event was an assiduously shambling affair aimed more at the assembled throng than the TV and internet audience, which was as it should be, given a crowd that held up signs with sentiments such as "Don't Be Mean" and "I Have A Really Big Sign."
Some highlights:
• Sam Waterston read a rally-themed poem written by Colbert featuring the rhyme scheme of your average Dr. Seuss book.
• Among the medals bestowed by Stewart and Colbert, two excellent ones stood out: One, a Medal of Reasonableness to READ FULL STORY

Kristin Chenoweth is asking you to keep her in your prayers this week.
The veteran television and Broadway star, known as much for her voice as for her acting ability, hinted at a serious illness via a couple of Tweets early yesterday and this morning.
"Back in LA," Chenoweth wrote. "Unable to move. Numbness and tingling in arm. Going to cedars dr tomorrow. Ah anyone who prays please do!"
The actress (Glee, GCB, Pushing Daisies, Wicked) didn't offer much more context for this health scare, but later added:

I voted in NC-8. Brannon got my vote, but what works for Tillis is that all of the others, and there are many (Ted Alexander would have been my next choice) are splitting the "Not Tillis" vote. In the end this will elect Tillis, who I regret to say is Rove´s man. The scandal here is that a couple of Democrats switched party affiliation at the last minute (even though they gave to Democrats and campaigned for Democrats previously) to run as Republicans for Commissioners. The Republican Committee of Cabarrus County emailed republicans about it, but the NC Republican party was forced to apologize as they said the local committee didn´t have the authority to inform us of the history of our own contenders. Messed up - and I call shenanigans on the whole thing.

Fans with voices louder than the drum guy in Cleveland who would torture the opposing team with either well-placed or just stupid and repetitious insultsAt the Nationals' series in Miami this weekend, there was an incessant whistler from the stands; F.P. Santangelo frequently commented on the noise. Is this person a regular character at Marlins Park? (If so, no wonder the team hasn't attempted ejection.)
But the real deal in most parks was the now-extinct "General Admission",
Well, there is if the next generation or two can't get to be as well off as their parents were no matter what they do, at least in the same numbers, which looks to be what's happening.
I'd never heard "hotbox" before but I played pickle for hours on end as a kid.
#48, he was some sort of real estate developer or contractor. When the market went south so did his money, his house got foreclosed, etc. He either doesn't want to go to just a few games and sit in the everyman seats or he does go but doesn't heckle any more
The difference was that in Griffith Stadium / DC Stadium and many of the other older parks, up through most of the 60's general admission got you into the middle of the lower deck, behind the plate as well as in the outfield.
Yada yada yada it came out roughly even.
Comiskey: $21.10
Oh yea, that was a steal. We used to sit in right-field GA at Royals Stadium, known as "rowdy right." I think it was like $5 in the 80s. Ewing Kauffman said he always wanted to keep GA seats in the outfield to allow working class fans a chance to sit up close.The Nationals have something similar called "Grandstand" -- sections 401 and 402 (upper deck, end of the third-base line), available day of game only and $5 for most games. They aren't great seats by any means, but the view is OK for the price and substantially cheaper than the far inferior seats of the scoreboard pavilion. Last year, I saw a Nats-Marlins doubleheader for a mere $5.

Preparing for Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby August 25, 2014Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, Pokemon.
Tags: Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Pokemon X & Y
When I finished up Pokemon Y a month back, I felt like I was about done with the game. I can be very focused and very goal oriented when it comes to short-to-medium sized tasks.
This is how, as an example, I have been able to tackle some of the Loremaster achievement tasks as readily as I have. The achievement is broken up into a series of smaller tasks, each of which the player can take on individually. Handing me the sum total of quests to be done would be too much. But zone by zone, it isn't so bad… for the most part.
After finishing up Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms I hit something of a wall. Facing the prospect of Outland, I didn't really log into the game for about a week.
And so it was with Pokemon. While I played Pokemon Y over the course of nearly four months, I ended up doing it in essentially three focused sprints, with the last one, end goal in sight, probably being equal in duration to the other two combined. And at the end of that last sprint, mission complete, I was ready to put Pokemon down for a bit.
But after a couple of weeks away, my interest in the game has started to grow again. This has largely be because of the upcoming release of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
My daughter and I are already set to play. She has picked Omega Ruby as her title, so I will be playing Alpha Sapphire. We just have to take out jar of coins down to the CoinStar machine and turn that cash into an Amazon gift card to be ready to pre-order. We are good to go there. And the launch date, November 21, isn't that far away.
But it is Nintendo who has been driving my interest a bit. They have had a couple of special download events to keep people interested while also putting out new bits and pieces of information about the new game to build excitement. Polygon has created a special section on their site devoted to Pokemon, so I have been gorging on information there. One of the latest tidbits to come down about the upcoming titles is the return of the secret base.
The secret base idea was part of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl back in the day, as part of the whole underground environment where you could play with other people (and actually see them running around) over WiFi. That was one of the great features those titles, my daughter and I spent hours just tooling around in the underground. But it was also one of those features that lasted for just that generation and went away with the next.
Pokemon games are rife with such features, each version having a couple that disappear with the next. And while there are some you don't miss, others stick with you. So the fact that there is going to be some form of secret base again that others can visit, including the whole flag stealing mechanic, is a pretty big deal for me aside from the whole "place of your own" housing aspect.
So that has gotten me interested in getting ready for the new versions to come out. But the question of what to do still stands. I have started going out and collecting some of the "new with X and Y" Pokemon to transfer over when the time is ripe… just in case I go insane and decide I need to fill out the National Pokedex again. Nintendo has also put up a guide to collecting all of the mega stones for mega-evolutions. It is a downloadable PDF file. While the whole mega evolution aspect of Pokemon X and Y wasn't a big deal to me, I might as well complete the set while I have the chance.
I will have to go through the guide book for Pokemon X and Y to see if there are any other things I ought to do before the new versions come out. I always buy the official guide. It isn't strictly necessary to get through the main story line… though if you put the game down for a few weeks, it can help you regain your orientation when you return… but for activities outside of the main story the official guide can be invaluable. And while, in this day and age, there is always some place online where you can find the information for free, I have a good deal of fun sitting in bed or on the couch or someplace else away from my computer and leafing through the book, looking up where to find a particular item or Pokemon, and then running off to get it. The key bit there is "away from my computer" where I spend most of my time.
So clearly some excitement is building within me for the new release. Even looking at the map they have put up of the Hoenn region makes me happy.
I can practically see the story laid out there and all of the places I will go.
Of course, if I really wanted to get myself ready for the possibility of another run at the National Pokedex, I would get out my copy of Pokemon White and finish that up. That would give me access to a pile of Pokemon in that game as well as being the only route to move some of my rares from Pokemon SoulSilver, where I did the National Pokedex, into the current generation of games on the Nintendo 3Ds platform.
I am just not sure if I can go back to the old sprite based graphics. Pokemon X and Y may have spoiled me in that regard.

I used to sneer at my younger brother when he used to watch the cartoons years ago. Now he has the last laugh. I have recently gotten hooked on Pokemon X after buying a 3DS last month. I am now obsessed with filling out the national pokedex.
Hopefully you can answer these questions: can you really get the other starting pokemon that you did not choose through trading? Or some of the rarer ones from other pokemon editions? Since the legendary pokemon cannot be bred, how on earth can you catch them all?
- 3. Jidhari - August 25, 2014
Thanks for the response. There are some crazy trade requests on GTC indeed! I saw one good trade for a pidgeotto in return for chespin. I then spent an hour levelling one up to get chespin. Trade gone! Ha.
I think I will have to consider getting Y for some of these exclusive pokemon. I will test the GTC a bit first though and see how it goes!
- 4. Jenks - August 25, 2014
I have Red, Ruby, and White 2, but nothing in between. My understanding is Red isn't going anywhere, but with some effort I could transfer my Ruby pokemon up to Black 2 but I'd need at least 1 game in between (SoulSilver maybe?), but I just don't have the energy. I should really get xy, burn through it, and play Omega Ruby at release. It'd be the first one since Red almost 20 years ago that I played while it was current (I just beat White 2 recently).
Or, maybe I can transfer right from White 2 to Omega Ruby.
- 6. BlackDragon - August 26, 2014
Alas, Pokemon Bank isn't available where I am. I was so hyped about transferring all my legendaries from Soul Silver to Black/White then moving them into my brand new Pokemon Y, too.
I read somewhere you can circumvent this by modifying your 3DS region setting, but I have not tried it yet. I might do so soon, because a chance at getting a free Celebi should not be passed over =)

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina the Red Cross has created a new website in order to help victims of natural disasters let their loved ones know they're okay.
People can also go on the site to search for family and friends who have been in a disaster to see how they're doing in case all other methods of communication are no longer working.
"Obviously in the aftermath of a significant event like a tornado, or like a hurricane, it may be three to five days before cell phone towers are back up" said Tim Wyckoff, of the American Red Cross.

Winds: East 8
April 15th came and went, and there was a sense of resolve this year.
I didn't hear about Tax Day Rallies from Tea Partiers — probably because Tea Partiers are still a bit burned out and discouraged from last year's election.
I didn't hear stories about last-minute filers waiting in long lines to get their tax forms in on time — probably because many filers did their taxes online. Read More»
By temperament and educational training, I've learned not to over-react when I hear something second-hand. There are always two sides of every story. Until you go to the primary source, you truly don't know what really happened (my children have taught me this first hand).
Such was the case, when I heard about a commercial by cable channel MSNBC host, Melissa Harris-Perry which advocates that "your children don't belong to you." Read More»
Like many Americans I was surprised by the outcome of November's elections, and am still processing what happened.
After all, virtually every quantifiable performance measurement revealed that the majority of Americans felt — personally, and as a country — that they were worse off and heading in the wrong direction.
Yet, these same Americans re-elected President Barack Obama, who presided over the country during this period of decline.
Here I am, nearly five months later, finally able to process what happened. Read More»
I enjoy looking out our office window especially now as the trees begin to bud with the signs of spring. I marvel at this time because it is a wonderful reminder of one of the most glorious times of the year, Easter.
Growing up in a non-religious household, Easter always meant egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and the promise of warmer weather. It was fun, lighthearted, and inconsequential. Read More»
When I decided to run for secretary of the Fayette County Republican Party (FCRP) several weeks ago, it was a very difficult decision. My husband and I talked and prayed about the decision.
I feared the time commitment. I feared my lack of political experience and whether I had the ability to serve in such a position. I feared how it might hinder my ability to effectively speak to, and be of positive influence to family and friends who might disagree with me on some issues. Read More»
I think the first time I consciously noticed the power of "living in a virtual world" was about ten years ago when a girl I was mentoring seemed to be far more conversational when we would "talk" via email than when we talked on the phone or in-person.
I could barely get her to speak two sentences to me in the real world, but when we would "talk" online, she could go on for pages.
When I questioned her as to how she seemed to open up via email, but barely spoke in person, she smiled and shrugged. Read More»
With all the fear and rhetoric going on about the sequestration and the impending deadline for the "across the board cuts in federal spending" to take place in less than a week, I think it is important to take everything in context and understand how we got to this point, the real numbers involved, and the implications of what this means for our government and ourselves. Read More»
For weeks there has been a weight I have felt regarding our school systems and a fear of what I see taking place in our community.
With the pending decision regarding school closures and our $15-20 million deficit, I don't think our county has ever faced such a drastic financial and social challenge as this one.
Groups of citizens are threatening and pleading for their schools, which they presume are on the "chopping block."
Subdivisions are fighting to protect their district borders and keep out others. Read More»
"I take full responsibility ... ."
This is a phrase that I feel like I have been hearing more and more in public life, but it seems to ring hollow the more times I hear it. Here is why.
I hear this phrase typically when someone is caught doing something wrong, or making a bad decision and there is almost irrefutable evidence for them to deny it. So rather than having the sordid details leak out over a period of time, a public statement is made saying that they, "accept full responsibility. ..." Read More»
About 15 years ago I taught an introductory psychology course at The King's College. I will never forget a discussion I facilitated with the students during a session on Developmental Psychology.
When talking about the developmental stages of humans, I thought it would be interesting to explore the question of when human life begins, and what was the distinction between human life and personhood. Read More»
