Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to condemn the U.S. commercial, economic and financial embargo against Cuba for the 22nd year in a row.
The symbolic vote Tuesday was 188-2, with three abstentions. The United States and Israel voted against it. General Assembly resolutions are unenforceable.
The embargo was enacted in 1960 following Cuba's nationalization of properties belonging to U.S. citizens and corporations. Sanctions were strengthened to a near-total embargo in 1962.
Speaking before the General Assembly, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez railed against the embargo, saying "The economic damages accumulated after half a century as a result of the implementation of the blockade amount to $1.126 trillion."
"Our small island poses no threat to the national security of the superpower," Rodriguez said. "The human damages caused by the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States against Cuba are incalculable."
"Seventy-six percent of Cubans have lived under its devastating effects since the day they are born," he added.
Ronald D. Godard, a senior U.S. adviser for Western Hemisphere affairs, defended the embargo as "one of the tools in our overall efforts to encourage respect for the civil and human rights" of Cubans.
He said that while the United States is encouraged by recent Cuban economic liberalization on real estate and allowing self-employment, it is too little to justify loosening sanctions.
"Cuba's resolution seeks to identify an external scapegoat, and excuse the Cuban government for the island's economic problems," he said.
At the U.S. State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said "We don't feel that this annual debate in the United Nations does anything to add to or advance a constructive discussion about these issues," she said. "And it also obscures the fact that the United States is a leading supplier of food and humanitarian aid and -- humanitarian relief to Cuba, and that's something we remain committed to."
The abstaining nations in the General Assembly were Micronesia, Marshall Islands and Palau, which last year voted against the resolution.

I assume that sociopaths lack feeling or conscious. How would a sociopath experience being raped or abused? Would they find it any less traumatic than a person who was not a sociopath?
People with Antisocial personality disorder do have feelings and some do have a moral conscious. They respond differently to traumatizing situations based on their type and severity of the disorder. The malevolent type would definitely have a desire and so fantasize to harm or kill the person who traumatized them. They may also like many normal people do repress the traumatizing memory and lie when confronted with the memory. Or become more ASPD and possibly even commit atrocities.
While the women in the following were not diagnosed with ASPD they had something similar so their actions can be taken into consideration:

Wisconsin Medicaid EHR Incentive >> Eligible Professionals >> Attestation
Eligible Professionals — Attestation
Adopt, Implement, Upgrade (AIU)
Eligible Professionals participating in their first year do not have to attest to Meaningful Use; rather, they may demonstrate that they have Adopted, Implemented, or Upgraded Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT).
Meaningful Use
In order for an Eligible Professional to receive payment in the second year of participation, they will have to attest to Meaningful Use of Certified EHR technology for a continuous 90-day period. In subsequent years, the Meaningful Use reporting period is the entire calendar year.
The last year for an Eligible Professional to initiate participation in the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program is 2016. Calendar year 2021 is the last year a participant may receive incentive payments.
The criteria for Meaningful Use will be staged in three steps over the course of the next five years:
Stage 1 Meaningful Use
Stage 1 Meaningful Use includes both a core set and a menu set of objectives that are specific to Eligible Professionals. For Eligible Professionals there are a total of 25 Meaningful Use objectives. To qualify for an incentive payment, 20 of these 25 objectives must be met:
For more information on the Eligible Professional Meaningful Use Measures review the Eligible Professional Stage 1 EHR Meaningful Use Specification Sheets (exit DHS).
Stage 2 Meaningful Use
For Stage 2 Meaningful Use, there are a total of 23 Meaningful Use objectives for Eligible Professionals. To qualify for an incentive payment, 20 of the 23 objectives must be met:
For more information on Stage 2 requirements, please refer to the Stage 2 Page (exit DHS) on the CMS Website.
Clinical Quality Measures
In addition to meeting the core and menu objectives, Eligible Professionals are also required to report clinical quality measures in order to successfully participate in the program. For Program Year 2014, Wisconsin Medicaid recommends Eligible Professionals report on the priority CQMs identified in Attachment 5 (exit DHS).
Reporting in Program Year 2014
Beginning in Program Year 2014, all Eligible Professionals, regardless of whether they are in the Stage 1 or Stage 2 of Meaningful Use, will be required to report on 9 of the 64 CQMs finalized in 2014 (exit DHS) in the Stage 2 rule (exit DHS). Clinical quality measures will be reported separately from Meaningful Use measures.
Although CQMs will be reported separately from Meaningful Use measures, all Eligible Professionals are still required to report CQMs in order to demonstrate Meaningful Use. The reporting period for CQMs is the same as the Meaningful Use EHR reporting period for that Program Year.
CMS has provided information on how to begin the transition for reporting in 2014 (exit DHS).
See Clinical Quality Measures (exit DHS) and the CQM tip sheet (exit DHS) to learn more about Clinical Quality Measures.
Last Revised: July 24, 2014

After Clinton's electrifying speech on Wednesday, here are some things to watch for at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.
In an impassioned speech that rocked the Democratic National Convention,
former President Bill Clinton proclaimed Wednesday night, "I know we're
coming back" from the worst economic mess in generations and appealed
to hard-pressed Americans to stick with Barack Obama for a second term
in the White House.
On Tuesday, Gov. Deval Patrick dismissed Republican policies and implored Democrats to help President Obama secure another term.
Michelle Obama's message: President Barack Obama is just like you. With a mix of personal anecdotes and policy talk, Mrs. Obama's speech was her most political yet.
The list of speakers for Tuesday's session of the Democratic National Convention has been released by the Democratic Party.
Civil Rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton, founder and president of the
non-profit organization, the National Action Network, can always be
counted on to address social injustice, especially in New York City. Now
he is focused on inner-city violence and has created a movement for
communities to "take back their streets" and create safe environments.
Hip hop mogul and noted marketing genius Chris Lighty was found dead outside his apartment in the Riverdale section of New York City.
A federal court rejected a Texas law that would require
voters to present photo IDs before being allowed
to cast ballots in November.

To convene a multidisciplinary panel of dermatologists, surgical oncologists, and medical oncologists to formally review available data on the sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy procedure and high-dose adjuvant interferon alfa-2b therapy for patients with melanoma and to rate the "appropriateness," "inappropriateness," or "uncertainty" of the procedure and therapy to guide clinical decision making in practice.The panel comprised 13 specialists (4 dermatologists, 4 oncologists, and 5 surgeons) from geographically diverse areas who practiced in community-based settings (n = 8) and academic institutions (n = 5). Participants were chosen based on recommendations from the relevant specialty organizations.A formal literature review was conducted by investigators at Protocare Sciences Inc, Santa Monica, Calif, on the risks and benefits of performing an SLN biopsy in patients with stage I or II melanoma and adjuvant interferon alfa-2b therapy in patients with stage II or III disease. The MEDLINE database was searched from 1966 through July 2000, and supplemental information was obtained from various cancer societies and cancer research groups. Panel participants were queried on additional sources of relevant information. Unpublished, presented data were included in abstract form on 1 recently closed clinical trial.The RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method was used to review and rate multiple clinical scenarios for the use of SLN biopsy and interferon alfa-2b therapy. The consensus method did not force agreement.The panel rated 104 clinical scenarios and concluded that the SLN biopsy procedure was appropriate for primary melanomas deeper than 1.0 mm and for tumors 1 mm or less when histologic ulceration was present and/or classified as Clark level 4 or higher. The SLN biopsy was deemed inappropriate for nonulcerated Clark level 2 or 3 melanomas 0.75 mm or less in depth and uncertain in tumors 0.76 to 1.0 mm deep unless they were ulcerated or Clark level 4 or higher. Interferon alfa-2b therapy was deemed appropriate for patients with regional nodal and/or in-transit metastasis and for node-negative patients with primary melanomas deeper than 4 mm. The panel considered the use of interferon alfa-2b therapy uncertain in patients with ulcerated intermediate primary tumors (2.01-4.0 mm in depth) and inappropriate for node-negative patients with nonulcerated tumors less than 4.0 mm deep. Specialty-specific ratings were conducted as well.

Publisher's Description
West Virginia proves to be the place for the heights of romance in these three inspirational novels. Instead of pursuing her dream, Emily finds herself working part-time with Veterinarian Noah Blake—definitely not the dream job she thought of when she got her degree in art history. Kim struggles with past decisions as two men become equally important in her life. Mandy should be the new manager at the photography studio, but Tony has stolen her job—as well as her heart.

Economics CPD Courses Coming up this Term!- Book Your Places Now!
WOW! Economics 2015 | Quantitative Methods (New Spec)
Jeff Sachs calls for government to set an investment agenda
The world seems to want, and need, plenty of advice on ways to boost macroeconomic performance. I was drawn to one piece on Project Syndicate that was especially interesting because the author, Jeff Sachs (one of the most famous development economists) introduces his comments by saying:
"I am a macroeconomist, but I dissent from the profession's two main schools of thought … the neo-Keynesians, who focus on boosting aggregate demand, and the supply-siders, who focus on cutting taxes. Both schools have tried and failed to overcome the high-income economies' persistently weak performance in recent years. It is time for a new strategy, one based on sustainable, investment-led growth".read more...»
Growth vrs the environment: deforestation
The growth vrs the environment debate is great for opening a thoughtful discussion about the net benefits of economic growth. Some participants take what might be described as a Kuznets Curve approach to the issue. That might be simply summarised as things get worse to begin with, but after a while they start to improve (OK, I'm simplifying a bit here). In environmental terms, you might illustrate this with the Peak Stuff idea. For several years now, the UK economy's total consumption of physical resources has been falling. In the past, growth made our economy more and more damaging to the environment. But future growth might have far less of an impact, and even contribute to significant environmental improvements.
What about tropical forests, which observers in the last decades of the 20th century noted were under severe threat? The Economist newspaper seems to take an optimistic view. Future growth may have far less worrying consequences for tropical forests.read more...»

Externalities of Waste - Do we throw too much stuff away?
This is a super report from BBC Newsnight on the issue of our throwaway society and the externalities of waste. How can the link between consumption and the discarding of unwanted and broken products be weakened? What role can innovation play - for example the rise of modular phones where parts can be replaced when broken. The fundamental problem is that traditional manufacturing business models are based on mass production and sales. How are increasing world commodity prices affecting this model?read more...»
The 'Good Country Index' adds to the economic progress debate
I am often writing blogs on the debate over the limitations of GDP as a measure of economic and social progress, most recently with coverage of the Social Progress Index. Here's another approach, the Good Country Index. It's a deceptively simple concept, yet quite powerful.read more...»
Transport Economics: pollution costs from different modes
If you're starting out in transport economics, a good place to begin is by evaluating different modes of transport. One area you're sure to look at is pollution. Here's a statement I sometimes use to start the conversation:
Rolls-Royce says the four engines on the A380 are as clean and efficient as any jet engine, and produce "as much power as 3,500 family cars". A simple calculation shows that the equivalent of more than six cars is needed to fly each passenger.
Take the calculation further: flying a fully laden A380 is, in terms of energy, like a nine-mile queue of traffic on the road below. And that is just one aircraft. In 20 years, Airbus reckons, 1,500 such planes will be in the air. By then, the total number of airliners is expected to have doubled, to 22,000. And whereas cars are used roughly for about an hour or so a day, long-haul jet airliners are on the move for at least 10 hours a day.
I've started putting together some more links below:read more...»

Using the price mechanism to boost allocative efficiency: 'Smart' electricity meters
The price mechanism should help the economy to allocate resources more efficiently. Scarcity drives up prices, sending a signal to the economy – giving firms an incentive to produce more, and households the motivation to ration their consumption.
Could 'smart' electricity meters, linked to dynamic electricity prices, achieve something similar?read more...»
Obama allies lead the way on a positive approach to climate change
The fracking debate continues apace, with the announcement by the British Geological Survey that there are over 4 billion barrels of oil in the shale rocks of the South of England. The government has proposed new rules of access to land in order to speed up the exploitation of this oil, with payments of £20,000 being made to those living above the land where fracking takes place.read more...»
Costs, benefits and 'discounting' the future
Measuring costs and benefits is a crucial part of many microeconomic models. It's central to understanding the pricing and output decisions firms make. You can't understand how market failure may arise from the problems presented by externalities without measuring costs and benefits.
Yet making those measurements is often tricky, especially when some of the costs or benefits arise in the future.read more...»

How Coal Shortages Might Impact Indian Growth
The development of India, or its non-development relative to China, is an interesting topic, and one that Bob Hindle has already been blogged about in relation to its tax system.

Energy companies charge cash-paying customers more - market failure and Government intervention
If you attended the recent tutor2u revision conferences for up-coming micro-economic exams (look out for the macro workshops and combined micro and macro to come in March) you will have seen how fuel-pricing was used as an example of market failure, government intervention strategies and government failure.
Fortunately, the energy market is a gift that keeps giving to us in the economics world (every cloud has a silver lining) as a report out today (see this link for the BBC version of the story) indicates that Parliament is about to intervene to try and stop the energy companies charging more to customers who pay by cash rather than by direct debit (£114 per year, according to the report).read more...»

London's Super Sewer
With London's Victorian sewage system struggling to cope, the 25km Thames Tideway tunnel is intended to boost capacity. But the £4.2bn Super Sewer project has run into considerable and vocal opposition. London's main sewers are over 150 years old and built for a city for 2.5 million people. The population of London is now over 8 million and when heavy rainfall arrives, there are frequent and sizeable discharges of raw sewage into the river Thames. 39 million tonnes of untreated sewage flushes into the Thames in a typical year - that's enough to fill the Royal Albert Hall 450 times. The sewage discharges puts the UK in breach of the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.
Critics of Thames Water argue that they have under spent on sewage system maintenance over the years despite recording persistently high profits. Thames Water announced £150 million profits in 2012.
Residents around the 21 proposed construction sites have protested about the externalities connected to the project. Other opponents argue that the money would be better spent on cheaper sustainable urban drainage techniques.
Future generations will benefit but today's water users will pay most of the construction cost with higher water bills imminent for a number of years to come. The Thames Water proposes adding £70 to £80 a year indefinitely to the average bill of Londoners to fund the 16-mile sewer from Acton in west London to Abbey Mills in east London. But a report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance calculates that the tunnel could be built for between £30 and £35 per household per year

Unit 1 Micro: Mexico's Water Farms
"The market will define our future" - the words of an organic farmer growing produce in Mexico City's water farms and which - according to this excellent video report from the Financial Times - have the potential to feed huge numbers of people living in the metropolis. Careful husbandry of the canals and surrounding farm land creates the opportunity for farmers to complete between seven and nine harvests a year, an interesting link to the concept of price elasticity of supply. The video reinforces the importance of human capital - detailed, specific knowledge of the growing conditions and calendar of crops that is handed down from one generation to another.read more...»
The Circular Economy
The FT video clip below provides a short interview with Dame Ellen MacArthur - the former ocean yachtswoman - and her idea of building a circular economy - this idea might be a fruitful area for student exploration when studying environmental economics. To quote from the web site:L
"The linear 'take, make, dispose' model relies on large quantities of easily accessible resources and energy, and as such is increasingly unfit for the reality in which it operates. Working towards efficiency—a reduction of resources and fossil energy consumed per unit of manufacturing output—will not alter the finite nature of their stocks but can only delay the inevitable. A change of the entire operating system seems necessary"read more...»
Paul Ormerod: Energy and Emissions: Taxation or Technology?
Energy prices are in the news. The recent actions of some of the energy companies can plausibly be described as provocative, no matter how well founded their decisions might be. They run the risk of provoking the ire of both the Opposition and the Government.
One interesting aspect of the debate is that it has become even clearer that decisions taken by Ed Miliband himself in the Brown government are partly to blame for our high energy bills. The plethora of green taxes and subsidies has become very expensive for consumers.
But how effective have such policies been? Not very much, seems to be the answer.read more...»
How Ronald Coase would have tackled the UK Nuclear energy problem
UK nuclear energy is painfully burdened by regulation. Energy prices are at an all time high, so much so that politicians are desperately trying to find policy solutions to utilise this dissatisfaction for votes. There are widespread complaints that energy companies' profits are too large. The Prime Minister encourages us to look for a cheaper energy deal. Surely there could not be any clearer signals from the market and society that now is the time for suppliers to enter the energy market. But unfortunately this is not the case; a detriment to us all.

Technology: the limitless resource
Environmentalists say we must change our behaviour to save the planet and pass on something to our children. They often pick symbolic targets designed to raise our awareness, even where they make an insignificant impact on the problem.

Although many environmentalists ally with the Left against 'materialistic capitalism,' their prescription is profoundly conservative, disdaining the pace and complexity of the modern world.read more...»

The future is shale!
The UK Energy and Climate Change Committee has stated that shale gas will not be a "game changer" in the future of UK energy, but they are wrong; it will be. The recent British Geological Survey report pointed to 1,300 trillion cubic feet of reserves, twice previous estimates. A recent study by the Institute of Directors found that the shale gas industry could generate 74,000 jobs and could supply up to half the country's gas needs by 2030. Furthermore it could also trigger an investment boom worth £3.7 billion a year. Given the location of most of the reserves, it could also be hugely beneficial in reducing the north-south economic divide.read more...»

Unit 1 Micro: Externalities - Air Pollution and Life Expectancy in China
If this research is accurate the results are truly shocking. Coal related air pollutants have been shown to reduce lifespans in China by over five years, according to a new study conducted by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and three other universities.
It is a compelling example of the human consequences of the externalities created by intense air pollution in one of the world's fastest-growing countries. Almost half of the world's coal is burnt in China - rapid development in the north of the country has increased the incidence of strokes and lung cancer, in part connected to the distribution of free coal for burning in millions of homes.
The Chinese government has announced plans for a new carbon emissions trading scheme as part of a strategy to lower pollution and achieve more sustainable development. It has ordered firms in heavy-polluting industries to cut emissions by 30% by 2017read more...»

Environmental Economics: Carbon Prices for Next 1000 Years
The pricing of carbon emissions needs to be sensitive to both long-run climate outcomes and short-term concerns about the macroeconomy. Research by Reyer Gerlagh and Matti Liski reconciles these two timeframes and comes up with optimal prices of between €20 and €130 per ton of carbon dioxide.

Unit 1 Micro: Carbon Trading Scheme In Crisis
The European Union's carbon emissions trading scheme is under huge pressure at the moment and there are many who believe that the market-based system of carbon pricing has effectively collapsed.
- There is a fundamental over-supply of carbon permits in the market - on some estimates, an excess of supply of over 840 million permits (one permit = one tonne of CO2)
- This has caused a sharp fall in the market price of carbon to below Euro 5 per tonne
- At such low prices there is an incentive to use coal rather than cleaner natural gas for electricity generation
- Latest figures show that greenhouse gas output in Europe fell in 2012 by 1.4% - but this is largely the result of very weak economic growth in the EU

Couple seeks key to locksmith company's lasting success
Grand opening Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
By Jessica King
Something old will soon become new again on Main Street as a three-decade-old business opens under new ownership.
Longtime Ramona residents Rheynard Morgan and his wife, Mary, are the third owners of Ramona Locksmith Inc. since 1976. This Saturday, they will hold a grand opening celebration with free food and other giveaways at the business' new 1,700-square-foot storefront on the backside of the Day Promenade Building at 850 Main St.
The couple plans to run a full service commercial and residential locksmith business from the site, with Mary doing the bookkeeping and Rheynard handling the service end.
The new storefront will also house the couple's previously home-based company, San Diego Door & Hardware.
Since 2002, Rheynard has offered commercial doorframe and hardware services under the San Diego Door & Hardware name, often crossing paths and purchasing items from Ramona Locksmith's previous owner, Gordon Schenck.
Last year, Schenck — plagued by illness and eager to move to Oregon to be with family — mentioned his intentions to sell the business in passing, and the two men struck a deal. Rheynard said he couldn't pay Schenck top dollar but he could promise to keep the business locally owned and involved in supporting the community.
"There was a time when Ramona Locksmith got a bad name because Gordon got ill and couldn't be there for his customers the way he needed to be," said Rheynard. "He just wasn't up for it after he got sick. But we're going to change all that."
Rheynard said he has no plans to try to "steal" business away from other businesses in town but is eager to fill any gaps for items and services for which Ramonans currently have to go down the hill.
"My goal is not to drive business away from them but to offer what they don't so when people need those things they don't have, they can stay in Ramona and put their dollars back into the community, and we will do the same," he said.
About 700 of the new storefront's square footage will be devoted to a showroom for Ramona Locksmith and the rest will house offices, workspace and a supply room for San Diego Door & Hardware and a space for PJ's Lock and Safe, another Ramona company working with the Morgans.
To keep Ramona Locksmith around for another 30 years, Rheynard is planning to keep up with new and innovative technologies — both key- and lock-related and marketing-wise. That includes offering touch-button locking systems and advertising via Facebook and other social media.
Ramona Locksmith is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, though emergency after-hours service is available. It can be reached at 760-789-4189.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Toys, Men, Kids, Teens, Under $100, Under $25, Under $250, Under $50, Under $500
We've got another inexpensive, yet awesome, entry for our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide, this one focusing on the undead. Do you know what happens when you take old broken plush toys and bury them in the woods by the light of the full moon while whistling the theme song from "Halloween"? Unfortunately nothing...which is why the skillful design monkeys over at ThinkGeek were forced to come-up with their own scary (but cute) zombie plush.
The Dismember-Me Plush Zombie begs to be torn limb from limb. After all he is a decaying re-animated corpse turned into irresistible cuddly plush. Rip off an arm... he doesn't mind. Tear him in half.. he'll barely notice. Pull off his legs... ok now he's getting a bit annoyed. Steal his brain... now you've really done it. Keep your teddy bears under close guard tonight because undead plush have come back from hell to walk the earth.

10 awesome LEGO machines that really work
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Design, Toys, Videos
There were many things growing up that got our attention as children. Shiny things, loud things, things with wheels, knobs, buttons, and so forth. That said, only one toy could truly capture our imagination and creativity—LEGO. So simple, yet so brilliant. Our love of building with LEGO hasn't died, and by the looks of it, we aren't the only ones with a soft spot for the bricks. We've just found a compilation of ten amazing LEGO machines that really work. Our favorite is posted above, but if you wanna see the other 9 designs (and you should!) hit the source link below.

Caine's Arcade shows the incredible creativity of a 9-year-old boy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Toys, Videos
Caine Monroy, a 9-year-old boy with a wild imagination, decided to build an arcade in his dad's auto repair shop. Of course, being that he is, you know, just a child, Caine had to work with materials that were age-appropriate. That meant a lot of cardboard, tape, string, and a large dose of imagination. The end result is an incredible sight--Caine's Arcade. The story doesn't end there, though. You see, despite the awesome arcade that Caine built for the public, he never got any customers. Then, as luck would have it, a well-connected independent filmmaker came to play, and through that, organized a to give Caine the best day of his life. You've gotta see the video above.
Bleeding Edge TV 441: HexBugs robot toy review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Podcasts, Product Reviews, Toys, Videocasts, Videos
We give you a look at three different types of HexBugs in this episode. HexBugs are robotic creatures, similar to insects, that crawl around. Batteries are included, so you just open them up and turn them on, and as you can see, they will start crawling around right away. The HexBug Inchworm is radio-controlled, while the HexBug Original and HexBug Nano are simply battery powered and kind of do their own thing once you turn them on. Aside from the insect robots themselves, you can also purchase different environments for the HexBugs to move around in, which looks especially cool when dealing with the Nano version. If you're interested, you can find HexBugs at RadioShack, and can also purchase HexBugs on Amazon.

Hasbro integrates iPhone into NERF LAZER TAG guns for augmented reality HUD goodness
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Toys
Remember NERF guns? My cousin and I used to drive my parents insane running around the house in a battle for supremacy, taking out a few planters in the process. Now Hasbro is changing its NERF game a bit for the new generation of children everywhere.
The new line of NERF LAZER TAG will have an iPhone / iPod touch dock built in, and the device will serve as a heads up display. How sick is that? I know I had imagination and all growing up, but this to a child is the equivalent of being James Bond. I'm not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind owning a pair of these guns for myself. But the main benefits of adding an iPod or iPhone to the gun, beyond the cool factor, is that your shooting range increase to 250 feet, and the iOS device stores all your scores and power ups using the NERF app. Apart from the multiplayer benefits, when another player is not available you can play in a single player mode. The guns, which you'll probably end up using more than your children, will hit stores on August 1 and will sell for $40 each, or $70 for a set of two.

Big news for American fans of Russian ballet:
First, St. Petersburg's Mikhailovsky Ballet has finally set a date for its U.S. debut. Though the company initially planned to perform in New York two summers ago, that visit was canceled when American Ballet Theatre exercised a non-compete clause involving Ivan Vasiliev and Natalia Osipova, who were scheduled to perform during both ABT's Metropolitan Opera House season and the Mikhailovsky's overlapping New York tour. (Yikes.)
This time around, however, things look to be smooth sailing: The Mikhailovsky is scheduled to appear at Lincoln Center's Koch Theater November 13–23. Yes, Osipova and Vasiliev will be there. So will "Kings of the Dance" veteran Leonid Sarafanov, and Angelina Vorontsova, the talented former Bolshoi ballerina whose boyfriend, Pavel Dmitrichenko, was sentenced to a jail term for his role in the acid attack on Bolshoi director Sergei Filin. (Allegedly, Dmitrichenko's unhappiness with Filin stemmed from frustration with Vorontsova's casting.) The Mikhailovksy's NYC lineup includes Giselle, Flames of Paris, Don Quixote, and a mixed-rep triple bill featuring Nacho Duato's Prelude, which Duato made for the company during his recently-concluded term as artistic director.

But that's not all, folks. American Ballet Theatre has also announced that rising Bolshoi star Olga Smirnova—a DM 2013 25 to Watch—will make her debut as a guest artist with the company this May. She'll dance Nikiya, one of her breakout roles, in a single performance of La Bayadère in May, squired by Vadim Muntagirov. (Gamzatti will be danced by the equally compelling Hee Seo, who does a gorgeous Nikiya herself—a face-off we're excited to see.) Mariinsky principal Viktoria Tereshkina will also perform with ABT for the first time, giving, like Smirnova, one Nikiya performance. Tereshkina will be partnered by fellow ABT guest and Mariinsky star Vladimir Shklyarov.
A tale of two Nikiyas: left, Smirnova dancing the role in the Bolshoi's production of La Bayadère (photo by Damir Yusupov, courtesy the Bolshoi); right, Tereshkina as Nikiya with the Mariinsky (photo by Natasha Razina, courtesy the Mariinsky).
And all of that comes in addition to the Bolshoi's previously announced U.S. tour, with stops in Washington, D.C., New York and Saratoga from May to July. It's a veritable feast of Russian ballet.

This cow had a festering superficial abscess for the last few months. Working on the advice of the local Veterinary office, I decided today was the time to open it up since the soft spot developed over the last few days. The Hospital area was bedded with dried solids and is cleaned up daily. The knife was sanitized before hand and wasn't dull like it was mentioned in the video. Sometimes the soft spot is like tissue paper and other times they can be a little tough. Several gallons of putrid fluid poured out . The area was then cleaned up and the cow was let back out. Within a few weeks everything will be back to normal. These heal rather quickly. I intend to follow up with more video of this cow to show her progression.

Entry-level knives: Dexter Basics vs US-made
- Scrofula Feb 15, 2013 01:27 AM
After cutting myself on the *back* of a cheap knife (pushing down too hard), I decided it's time to finally get an actual chef's knife.
I've narrowed it down to the 8" Victorinox ($26), 8" Kom Kom Kiwi ($9), 8" Dexter Basics ($17), 10" Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe ($13), and a 7" Dexter Sofgrip Santoku ($23).
The Sani-Safe is the best deal, but I don't have a lot of working space, so I figure it might be a bit unwieldy. The Kiwi sounds nice for the price, but from what I've read, it's not quite as versatile as a Western chef's knife or Santoku.
So here's the question. I've heard good things about the Dexter-Russell brand, but most anecdotes I've found are about their various US-made lines. I don't know if those good things apply to their cheaper Basics line, imported from some unknown location. Does anyone have any experience with the Dexter Basics?
(I did find one previous discussion of this question, but there was some contradictory information in that thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/746908)
re: TraderJoe
Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Victorinox now. The main problem with the current knife is the blunt edge, not the sharp spine. The spine wouldn't be an issue if I didn't have to give celery CPR to cut it.
re: Scrofula
Learn how to sharpen your knife. A stone is not expensive and it's not difficult to learn. It also seems that you have a cheap and dull knife to practice on.
Dexter SaniSafe and Sofgrip sharpen easy, the Basics do not. They have a hollow grind to them and do not get as good an edge as the USA models.
The Sofgrip is really comfortable to hold the Basics and the Sanisafe not so.
What knives do you have?
FWIW any budget knife will have a sharp spine that needs rounding. I have identical Santokus one original that the spine can peel bamboo and one rounded off so people can see what a massive comfort difference that can make.
I like my Dexter-Russell..No hi-zoot factor, but feels good, sharpens nicely, and a heck of a good value
In about 1980, while visiting St.Augustine FL, I walked into a knife store called The House of Ek home of the famous and very pricey handmade combat knives. I mentioned that I was looking for a decent/inexpensive chef's knife. He had one that fit the bill and recommended it enthusiastically. It was the R.H. Forschner/Victorinox 830-8, an 8-inch chef's knife. I believe it was under $15. It still serves me well now over 30 years later and I notice it's still available at under $30.
Hi. The Victorinox/Forschner are amongst the least expensive, most decent knife that I know of. For the money, they're tough to beat it. I haven't played with the low end Dexters, but their better ones are good too.
Rounding over the spine makes a world of difference and is very easy to do.
Kom Kom Kiwi are good knives for their prices. They are many Kiwi knives of different styles. One of them looks like a Santoku, so that may work well for you.
I have several Dexter Russell, but I don't have the Dexter Basic. I would stay away from it.
Like others said, your current knife (which cut you) probably has a sharp spine. Just use a sand paper or a sharpening stone to round off the spine. It will be quick -- 5- 10 minutes.
re: Chemicalkinetics
<I've narrowed it down to the 8" Victorinox ($26), 8" Kom Kom Kiwi ($9), 8" Dexter Basics ($17), 10" Dexter-Russell Sani-Safe ($13), and a 7" Dexter Sofgrip Santoku ($23).>
A few more things to add. Between these series, Victorinox, Dexter Sani-Safe and Dexter Softgrip are all good choices. Kiwi is nice if you know what you are looking for. As for 8" vs 10", and Chef's knife vs Santoku, these are personal choices and you should go with your own preference. I know money can always be a determining factor, but the last thing you want is to get something you don't want or you don't need -- even if it is less expensive.
It is never cheap to get something you regret.
As many have stated, these knives are probably the best value knives you can find. Have fun.
I'm mostly familiar with the Kiwi, and I've found the shape to be fantastic. The curve of the blade makes it mostly equivalent to a chef's knife, but the tallness of it makes it easy to scoop up vegetables, like you would with a Chinese cleaver. The pointed end makes fine work easier than with a cleaver, however. I'd actually argue that the shape of the santoku is less friendly.
re: Scrofula
Another vote for Victorinox/Forschner. However, I prefer wood handles, so I bought knives from the Rosewood line rather than the Fibrox line.
To me, the better balance & feel of natural materials is well worth the few extra bucks for something I'll use for years & years.
I have experience both at home and professionally with Victorinox/Forschner and Dexters. I don't like the plastic handle 8 inch versions of either lines. The bulky handle allows minimal to no knuckle clearance of my pinch grip and my hands are about average size.
I prefer an Update International (8 or 10 inch Chef's knife) in the Forged full tang line.
They have similar steel quaility as the Victorinox/Forschner and Dexters except with a POM riveted handle which looks like a much more expensive knife. As a bonus ... the bolster is minimal allowing sharpening the entire blade.
Other than the price I don't think there is much comparison between this knife and a Kiwi.

Or it could be that people teaching and learning to roll do not bother learning different mechanics (albeit slight ones) for each side. I also think there is a psychological barrier that is created by thinking in terms of on-side/off-side and by most people visualizing and talking about rolling in terms of one side only.
