Most Americans Don't Deal With End-of-Life Issues, Study Finds
TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Most Americans do not deal with end-of-life issues and wishes, a new study indicates.
Researchers analyzed data from nearly 8,000 people who took part in nationwide surveys conducted in 2009 and 2010, and found that only about 26 percent had completed an advance directive, also called a living will.
There were significant associations between completing an advance directive and age, income, education and health status, according to the study in the January issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Advance directives were more common among women, whites, married people and those who had a college degree or postgraduate training. People with advanced directives also were more likely to have a chronic disease or a regular source of care.
"For black and Hispanic respondents, advance directives were less frequent across all educational groups. These data indicate racial and educational disparities in advance directive completion and highlight the need for education about their role in facilitating [end-of-life] decisions," Dr. Jaya Rao, who conducted the study while an associate professor in the division of pharmaceutical outcomes and policy at the University of North Carolina, said in a journal news release.
Lack of awareness was the most common reason for not having an advance directive.
Some previous studies have shown that health care costs are highest during the final years of life, but the use of advance directives reduces Medicare spending and the likelihood of in-hospital death.
"Given the current discussions about implementing various models of health care delivery, including the patient-centered medical home, [end-of-life] issues need to come to the forefront of planning efforts," Rao said. "Hopefully, these findings will contribute to the current national conversations about [end-of-life] care."

Learn How to Bring Ideas into Reality Quickly
Applying Lean & Agile techniques in your working environment will allow you to bring an idea into reality, quickly – unleashing the ability to move swiftly from spending money to making money – no matter what industry you're a part of. By the time you complete this in-depth training course you will have invaluable knowledge, combined with practical application of dynamic techniques and a concrete action plan to return with and inspire a real difference in your workplace.
Why Should You Take this Course?
With the myriad of different working environments out there, it's difficult for traditional training courses to go deeper than just explaining the theory. We're different. As consultant coaches who run our own businesses and who have helped small and medium-sized enterprises as well as global organisations such as BP (British Petroleum), BT (British Telecom), and the UK Government improve their bottom lines, we bring something special – we have the ability to translate theory into real results.
We've used our years of experience in running businesses and delivering training courses to hone an extremely effective, hands-on, training course that allows you to deliver real results with Lean & Agile not just after the course, but during it too.
What's in it for You?
You will actually begin the transition to a Lean & Agile way of working during the course. Designed as part- training course, part- active coaching workshop, by the end of the training you will understand the theory, know how to practically apply that theory, and you will have created a plan of action for what will be done and how to achieve it in your own working environment.
Our objective is for you to deliver real, tangible, important results in your job. To allow you to focus on the learning – removed from your day-to-day working demands – you will spend 5 days in a gorgeous, lakeside cottage in scenic Muskoka, Canada, with home-cooked meals, two wood-burning fireplaces, on-site massages, and a Hot Tub for unwinding in the evening. This unique retreat will give you ample time to reflect on, and find solutions to your work concerns.
Accommodation, meals and transportation to and from downtown Toronto and Toronto Pearson Airport, fees and taxes are all included.
Having shelved many projects part way through, I believe that if we'd known the value of this way of working we could have changed our perspectives & priorities to be successful. Thank you for opening my eyes!–Sean K., London, England
Thoughtful, provoking & enjoyable – very good presentation of a subject that you clearly have a passion for!–Alex R.,Toronto, Canada
Laura is very engaging, great listening skills, and extremely knowledgeable.–Serena L., Dublin, Ireland
Probably the best presentation I have ever attended – totally brilliant!–Lynsey G., Edinburgh, Scotland
Equipped with her energetic coaching style, punctuated with humour and celebration, your course will be taught by international Business Productivity Coach, and Director of Flowmotion, Laura Waite.
If you're interested, you can read an interview to find out what delivering this course means to Laura.
Course Outline
What's important to you?
This course is designed for you to deliver real results. With that in mind, shortly after you set foot in the cottage Laura will unearth what you need from the course, any questions and comments you have, and what results you wish to deliver in your working environment. She will then adjust the exercises, discussions and workshops to address your needs.
What is Lean & Agile? (Theory)
You will engage in an interactive exercise designed to provide an understanding of the foundations of Lean & Agile – everything you need to understand to be able to successfully apply the concepts and the first steps to ingraining this new way of working.
How do you do Lean & Agile? (Practical)*
You will be involved in a series of in-depth exercises that layout how to get results and Laura will outline what needs to be done, when and by whom to be successful. This will include application of powerful Lean & Agile concepts including:
- Compelling planning techniques to deliver outcomes quickly such as evolutionary and iterative delivery, iteration planning, release planning, progress tracking and visibility, definition of done, sizing, relative estimation, velocity, planning poker, running planning sessions (or games), backlogs, burn charts, "the wall", task boards, and kanban boards
- Techniques for focusing on creating the "right thing at the right time" such as the principle of value, project charters, visioning, goals, personas, user stories, story-splitting, 3C's, invest and backlog grooming
- Capabilities to ensure that you achieve the best outcome possible such as the principle of quality, frequent delivery, collective ownership, collaboration, team rooms, facilitation, pairing, refactoring, automation, test driven design (TDD), acceptance testing, unit testing, refactoring, continuous integration and continuous deployment
- Skills for identifying and removing non-value-adding activities from your working patterns such as the principle of flow, definition of waste ("muda"), error-proofing ("poka-yoke"), eliminating unevenness ("mura"), reducing overburden ("muri"), simplicity and value stream mapping
- Techniques for finding problem areas and embedding continuous improvements such as regular feedback, retrospectives (heartbeat, milestone and custom), stand ups, scrums, scrum of scrums, and show & tell's
How do you do Lean & Agile in your environment? (Application)
Laura will coach you to successfully apply these techniques in a series of facilitated workshop sessions where you will determine where, and how, you can actively apply the techniques you've learned. She will assist in creating a plan of action for what will be done and how to achieve it. You will actively begin the transition to a Lean & Agile way of working during these sessions.
Are you ready to kick it?
Since this course is designed for you to deliver real results, Laura will have adjusted the course content to meet your needs. In order to ensure that you're clear on what you will do differently with your newfound knowledge, she will round up the training by returning to your initial questions and comments, and thoroughly reflecting on the results you've decided to deliver in your working environment.
* Through breakout sessions, topics will be introduced at a level appropriate to you when it comes to technical prowess. In other words, if you don't understand technology, no need to worry – Laura will introduce the important concepts in an accessible manner. And if you do understand technology, also no need to worry – as a software developer herself, she'll introduce the important concepts with the depth of information you require.

A community demanded answers Friday after police shot and killed a Bronx bodega worker in what the NYPD calls a tragic accident.
Family, friends and members of the Bodegueros Association held a candlelight vigil Friday evening near the Morrisania store where 20-year-old Reynaldo Cuevas worked.
Police responded to an armed robbery there earlier in the morning.
Security video showed a uniformed officer, his gun drawn, positioned outside the front door.
Police say Cuevas was trying to escape the robbers when he ran into the officer.
The impact apparently caused the weapon to fire.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the officer followed procedure and the shooting was an accident.
"He ran full speed into the officer," said Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. "The two became entangled, at which point, we believe, the officer accidently discharged his weapon, with one round entering his shoulder."
But family and witnesses claim Cuevas was mistreated after he was shot.
"They just killed my cousin and dragged him like he was a dog," said Cuevas's cousin. "I think we should really have some type of respect. My family is really broken down right now. My family is going through a lot."
Commissioner Kelly met with Cuevas's mother and expressed his condolences but angry residents say too many blacks and Latinos are shot by police.
Cuevas' uncle, Jesus, who is the store's owner, is outraged.
"No, that's no accident," Jesus said. You don't have nothing here. You shoot one time, that is no accident. That is stupid."
"I don't believe deep in my heart that a New York City police officer will intentionally kill anybody," said Fernando Mateo, the president of Hispanics Across America. "But I do believe that the NYPD needs to re-educate and retrain its men and women."
Sources say it's the first time the officer fired his gun in seven years on the job.
17-year-old Christopher Dorsey, 28-year-old Ernesto Delgado and Orlando Ramos were arrested.
They are charged with murder, robbery and weapons possession.
But Felix Mora, who fled the bodega before Cuevas, said the robbers hid when police arrived.
"The robbery guy saw the cop," he said. "He say 'the cops are here' and he went to the back of the counter and then I was by myself with Reynaldo and then I got up and went outside."
Police say two of them hid inside the store until cops threatened to send dogs in.
The pair then allegedly tried to pretend they were hostages but police didn't go for it.
Cuevas leaves behind several loved ones, including a 3-year-old daughter.

OK but not great
By BF
from Chicago, IL
Works great for large or heavier items with sensor dry. Small loads or lighter items are always damp with sensor dry - must use time dry. This seems to be a common issue with the way the sensors are mounted. You are also not supposed to use dryer sheets with this type of sensor so plan on wiping off the sensors to eliminate build up.
as dryers go , it's good

from justice,il.
I just use it for a normal household. It does a good job drying. I like the large drum. My biggest complaint is that my dryer is one level down and the end of cycle timer is not loud enough.
Love it!!!

I gave up a 13 year old full size BOSCH washer & dryer for these LG's. Bosch no longer makes a full size in the USA, so I am trying the LG. So far, they are great, and even larger than the Bosch full size. The only thing is, I wanted the 2 bottom stands that are 15" tall, but, they turned out to be too high for my cabinets. They need to make 10" like my last W&D had! 10" is perfect, especially for a large W&D like these. I purchased the lower end LG W&D and they are still wonderful, and do all the thinking for me. ABT is also a wonderful store. I never go anywhere else!

Hot Sauce in a child's mouth as discipline?

This whole story
|Wed, 02-02-2011 - 6:50am
i saw this story on dr.phil and was disgusted by it..this IS child abuse, the cold shower too, awful...but i think the woman has bigger problems than just trouble disciplining her kid because he had to move his card twice at school.
|Wed, 02-02-2011 - 10:51am
Abuse - no.
Bad parenting - yes.
She needs help - that is why she went on Dr. Phil.
|Wed, 02-02-2011 - 12:23pm
Thanks for replying .. I do realize there are levels of abuse and that these are not extreme but putting a child in a cold shower or hot sauce in the mouth are beyond bad parenting in my view of good and bad parenting. To me bad parenting is not giving your child guidelines for behavior and rules for living or neglecting to prepare them for what lies ahead in the real world where mom or dad aren't around to bail them out.
|Wed, 02-02-2011 - 12:47pm
It is was defenetly abuse in every way shape and form. , She did not drop hot sauce in his mouth she put a large amount in his mouth and forced him hold it in his mouth while she screamed in his face, the amount of hot sauce and the amount of time the hot sauce

:( I did not see the video nor did I see the Dr Phil episode.. this does go way beyond bad parenting. I agree the children in this family will need therapy...
|Wed, 02-02-2011 - 2:14pm
I am not really a fan of taking one clip out of a person's life and judging the whole.
Is hot sauce abusive. How much hot sauce? Was their burning? Soap? Is that abusive too?
Is a cold shower abusive? My son did pushups in a cold shower once because his friends dad made him do it. Did I think abuse. I may have thought jar head. But not abuse.
Is yelling in the face abusive? Well it's not good parenting but abusive - go to jail for it. Hmmm!
I am sure there is a day
|Wed, 02-02-2011 - 2:19pm
Do you mean - Wow that abusive.
Or do you mean that is abuse - the full and legal meaning of abuse. You

Associate Professor, Immunology & Rheumatology
Associate Professor, SBS-Molec & Cellular Biochem
Physician, FGP-Immunology & Rheumatology
Fibromyalgia, Systemic Lupus Erthematosus and Vasculitis
I graduated from Baylor College of Medicine in 1983. I completed a residency in Internal Medicine at Harlem Hospital Center (College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University) in 1986. I completed a 1 year chief residency in Internal Medicine at Harlem and then did a 3 year Rheumatology Fellowship (research fellowship) at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver working in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas Santoro and under the directorship of Dr. William P. Arend (1987 – 1990). The focus of his work at that time was membrane biochemistry. Several important studies were published at that time including identification that elevated Urine LTE4 levels were associated with SLE disease activity. I came to The Ohio State University in 1990 and have been an independent investigator since that time. A Physician Scientist Award under the mentorship of Dr. Ing-Ming Chiu was obtained in 1991 " Cloning and Characterization of the Mouse FGF-1 Gene"(1991 – 1996). An R01 Award as Principal Investigator was obtained in 2001 "Chronic Pain, Suprapspinal Serotonin and Neurotrophic Factors". (2001 – 2006). I became Rheumatology Fellowship Program Director in 2004. Other important collaborations have been exercise studies in Osteoarthritis with OSU collaborators and proposed studies on Curcumin in Osteoarthritis with Zhongfa Liu, Ph.D. – OSU – Pharmacy. I have 4 children and my wife Dawn S. Hackshaw, M.D. (OSU, 1992) is a practicing pediatrician in Columbus, Ohio.

Saab cars headed to crusher, Trollhättan museum future in doubt
Posted Jan 17th 2012 10:01AM
The future hopes of Saab seem to have been crushed under the weight of insolvency, and that's going to translate into reality as about 100 Saab cars are cubed up into scrap metal crutons. Unconfirmed rumors suggest that the vehicular carnage will ensue over the next 48 hours as the death rattle from Trollhättan gets ever louder.
Why squish a bunch of orphan cars? Autocar reports that the move is part of the receivership process. Headed for the gallows are cars finished before the money completely dried up, including some 9-4X crossovers and pre-production 9-5 Estates.
While the Saab museum is currently closed and facing an unclear future, a single 9-5 Estate is being kept around for later exhibition. Even in the land of the midnight sun, and despite the hopes of so any of the brand's fans, it looks like the last flicker of twilight coming from Saab is nearly extinguished.

Authors: Warfield, Patrick Abstract: In 1906 Appleton's Magazine published John Philip Sousa's most celebrated—and vitriolic— article, "The Menace of Mechanical Music." In it Sousa predicts that piano rolls and recordings will end amateur music making in the United States. Modern writers have often condemned Sousa as a hypocrite (the Sousa Band was itself a major recording ensemble) and chastised him for failing to see the cultural and financial benefits of mechanical music. But, in fact, Sousa's article was part of a larger scheme to gain public support for the 1909 copyright revision. It was also just one step in Sousa's lifelong battle for composers' rights, a battle with five distinct phases: (1) the debate over the right of public performance precipitated by the success of Gilbert and Sullivan in the United States, (2) a test of the limits of contractual obligations between performers and managers, (3) the instigation of an international copyright law, (4) the battle over mechanical rights, and (5) the ability of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) to collect royalties as related to public performance. Description: http://journals.cambridge.org/abstract_S1752196309990678 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z The March as Musical Drama and the Spectacle of John Philip Sousa http://hdl.handle.net/1903/12152 Title: The March as Musical Drama and the Spectacle of John Philip Sousa Authors: Warfield, Patrick Abstract: John Philip Sousa's phenomenal appeal for early twentieth-century American audiences lay in large part in the dramatic nature of his marches, their performance practice, and his own persona as the March King. Sousa was responsible for transforming the earlier da capo parade march into a linear work suitable for concert performance. When combined with the now largely forgotten performance practice of the Sousa Band, these marches became miniature dramas. Sousa's famous marches, however, were seldom featured on printed handbills. Rather, the March King connected to his audiences by inviting them to take part fictitiously in concert programming by calling for Sousa's marches as encores. Such encores not only allowed Sousa to remain humbly invisible on programs, but also provided audiences with the illusion of an intimate conversation with a celebrity entertainer, a conversation that reinforced nineteenth-century notions of American manhood. Through his advertising and concert work, Sousa strove to appear not as a distant celebrity, but simply as a more successful version of the Americans in his audience. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z The Nature of Music http://hdl.handle.net/1903/4331 Title: The Nature of Music Authors: Signell, Karl Abstract: Ethnomusicologist Karl Signell proposes a fresh approach to thinking about music. In twelve half-hour programs originally heard on National Public Radio (USA), The Nature of Music series offers new ideas from the experts, from musicians such as violinist Yehudi Menuhin, from scholars such as Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, and from people in the business such as record producer Amy Horowitz. It attempts a grand synthesis of old truths and recent discoveries about music, from psychoacoustics to biomechanics, from poetry to philosophy. By searching for universals, The Nature of Music asks what it means to be human. Description: 1. Music & the Performer - What is the best way for a young musician to learn? How do you get music out of notes on a page? What is greatness? Individuality? 2. Music & the Listener - What are you supposed to listen for in music? How do we use music?

Dear visitors,
Welcome to the website of the Delegation of the European Union in Vietnam. This is an open door to the institutions and policies of the EU and it provides an over view of the activities of the European Union in Vietnam in the fields of foreign policy, development cooperation, trade policy, economic policy, regional integration, information and culture.
With the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009 and the establishment of the European External Action Service, the EU has a strengthened role with modern institutions and optimized working methods. These changes have enable us to speak with one single voice to address challenges such as globalization, climatic and demographic changes, security and energy.
With more than 500 million citizens and a single currency - the euro- that is used by 330 million of them, the EU is a giant economic entity, the largest economy in the world of trade, investment and a technological innovation power house. We are also an influential political and security actor in the globe, and a major actor in setting the international policy agenda. EU-Vietnam relations have developed vigorously since the establishment of diplomatic relations two decades ago. The EU has continued to be the second most important market of Vietnam-made commodities for the past five years, consuming an average 20% of Vietnamese exports every year. It is also one of the biggest FDI partners of Vietnam, being ranked 2nd biggest investor in terms of committed FDI in 2010, and consistently one of the top ranking investors over the recent years. The European Union is the biggest donor of grant development aid to Vietnam, and is actively assisting Vietnam in priority sectors and areas such as integrated human development, support to the process of economic and social reform, and the facilitation of Vietnam's integration into the world economy and international community.
The European Union and Vietnam have concluded and signed a new Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA). This agreement will broaden and strengthen the existing framework for co-operation between the EU and Vietnam, with a new forward-looking and modern agenda covering many new areas such as research, climate change, security, technology, environment, etc.
On June 26, 2012, the EU and Vietnam officially launched negotiations for a bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA). This advanced 21st century FTA, possibly a new generation of bilateral FTAs between developed and developing countries, is expected to further improve the market access for goods, services and other trade-related activities from both sides to their mutual benefits while boosting Vietnam's sustainable development.
I hope that you will find this site informative and useful. If you do not find the information you need, or have any suggestion for improving the site, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your feedback will be very welcome.
Franz Jessen, Ambassador - Head of Delegation

Wagner & Politics
In effect, these writers reduce the problem of Wagner's anti-Semitism (so far as the works are concerned) to these supposed traces, to the idea that, in one instance or another, Wagner is knowingly signaling it. This cannot help to deal with any deep anxieties caused by Wagner's works. In fact, it serves to reconcile these writers' admiration for them with their bad conscience about his attitudes, but at a painless and superficial level. They have externalized the problem, moving it from where it truly belongs.
We can take an analogy from a quite different work of Thomas Mann's, Death in Venice: these critics treat the threat, the dangerousness, of Wagner, as if it were the outbreak of cholera, which with luck you can signal and confine by whitewashing and disinfecting the walls. But our, and their, real problem with Wagner is not like this at all—rather, it is like Aschenbach's problem with Tadzio. These critics do not accept at the right level the way in which Wagner is related to his works. They are saying, in effect, that there had better be something wrong with the works, and they have come up with a circumscribed and relatively painless way of identifying what this is.
In a well-known book Robert W. Gutman has written:
Unhappily, a proto-Nazism, expressed mainly through an unextinguishable loathing of the Jews, was one of Wagner's principal leitmotifs, the venomous tendrils of anti-Semitism twining through his life and work. In his final years, his hatred reached out further to embrace those with black and yellow skins. This attitude cannot be shrugged off as an unfortunate whim or a minor flaw in a musical hero.
This underlines the point that the presence of some anti-Semitic signatures is not in itself enough: they are not going to show that anti-Semitism is "one of [the] principal leitmotifs" of Wagner's work. The works will have to be more thoroughly polluted than that, and in his book Gutman gives interpretations to suggest that they are (though he does less to show that these interpretations are inescapable). But then he is thrown back to the question of why these thoroughly polluted works are supposed to be interesting or important to us. To this, his answer appeals simply to the music:
Yet Wagner survives, and primarily because he was a great musician. His ripe late-romantic style retains much of its allure…. A music of almost unparalleled eloquence and intimacy keeps his works on the stage.9
This is not an answer at all. Having refused to separate the man and the work, Gutman tries to separate the work and its music, an aim which can be seen to be failing already in the use of words such as "eloquence" and "intimacy," and which is anyway peculiarly hopeless in the case of Wagner, who took unprecedented steps to unify musical and dramatic expression. If we end up with such an evasion, it is clear that we must start again.
Some modern productions of Wagner's works have another way of trying to "externalize" the problems. It is a significant fact that we have seen in the opera house in recent years the coexistence of two kinds of radicalism. In cases to which it is appropriate, there is an increasing "authenticity" of orchestral and vocal performance, based on historical research; and at the same time there are productions and sets which display all degrees of rethinking and creativity up to the now notorious extremes of directorial whimsy—which themselves are more or less what has come to be expected.
These two developments might seem to go in opposite directions. It is true, of course, that they can conflict, as when the production makes it impossible for the singers to express what the music requires or invites them to express. (It is important that this should not be described as a conflict between music and drama; it is a conflict between the dramatic contribution of the music and the dramatic contribution of the staging.) But this is a matter of particular failures, not of what is intrinsic to the two kinds of radicalism. Even quite extreme versions of them, if they are put together in the right way, can produce a triumphant success (this was true of Peter Sellars's recent production at Glyndebourne of Handel's Theodora). They can combine to the same end. The musical performance tries to offer a closer approximation to the composer's means of expression; the production offers a version of what this drama, these emotional relations, can mean in terms that make sense to us now—it tries to find visual and dramatic equivalences, which work for us, to the expressive content both of the words and of the music as that music is now presented to us. No theatrical presentation of the drama that was simply determined by historical research could possibly do that.
In fact, the idea of a theatrical production of an opera which is "authentic" in the sense in which musical performances can aim to be "authentic" (and that itself, of course, raises large questions which are not the concern here) seems to be virtually nonsensical. Critics who attack what they see as the extreme innovations of recent directors and call for "traditional" productions of the Ring cannot mean that we should be given what Wagner in 1876 in Bayreuth actually had—for one thing, we know what Wagner thought of what he got in 1876.10 But quite apart from that, since the question is one for us, of what we should do, even the most devoted intentionalist will have to ask not what Wagner wanted granted the resources he had, but what he would have wanted if he had had our resources; and that means of course, also, resources to present his works to audiences who have seen what we have seen (and not only on the stage). We are back, unsurprisingly, where we started, with the problems of staging Wagner's works for us now. In pursuit of a truthful production, there is absolutely no alternative to re-creation.
The objection to some recent productions of Wagner is not that they are in a new idiom, but rather that they do not use that idiom to re-create. What some of them offer is mere comment. Unlike the decipherment of the supposed anti-Semitic signatures, which I have just considered, the ideologically critical treatment of the works in these productions is not minor or episodic. Their comments may be continuous, as when Wotan is throughout represented as a tycoon in the current Bayreuth production of the Ring. The problem arises if they are no more than comments, external to any response to the content of the works; in that case, they are like the supposed decipherment of anti-Semitic messages.11 Just as being given a decoding of Beckmesser's vocal style as Jewish, even if it were correct, would do very little to help one understand or shape one's reactions to Die Meistersinger, so a continuous subjoined ethical health warning added to the Ring—the mechanical injection into it of modern hate-figures, for instance—does not help one to face what the Ring, both for good and for bad, requires one to face.
We have to address the works and the problems they present on a larger scale. We have to ask: What general features of Wagner's style contribute to the problems? I should like to suggest three, all of them characteristics that were mentioned by Thomas Mann.
Wagner shared with other nineteenth-century artists, notably Ibsen, the aim of uniting the mythic and the psychological. One might even suggest—this is my suggestion, not Mann's—that in a certain sense Wagner is Ibsen inside out. Ibsen succeeded in some of his works in taking realistic bourgeois domestic drama and giving it the weight, the sense of necessity, that one can find in Sophocles; Wagner took myths and medieval epics and installed in them a psychology which is often that of bourgeois domestic drama. There is a basic problem with this enterprise, implicit in Walter Benjamin's observation that the heroes of ancient tragedy or epic lack an inner life in a modern sense: many, if not all, of those ancient works gravely express a necessity that transcends biographical particularity. To reconcile this fact with a drama for which intensity almost unavoidably means intense subjectivity is a hard undertaking, as many nineteenth- and twentieth-century artists have found.
In fact, there are three levels involved. Besides the mythical or medieval materials, and the explicit motivations and situations of bourgeois drama, Wagner engages in depth psychological explorations which are expressed in words and music that go far beyond naturalistic drama. Wagner is most successful in reconciling the mythical and the psychological, so it seems to me, when it is this last element that prevails: when the subjective intensity is so extreme, solitary, and unrelated to citizenly or domestic life that in its own way it takes on an authority which is perhaps analogous to that of ancient tragedy. This is notably so in Parsifal and in Act III of Tristan. Elsewhere he succeeds because he can sustain an analogy with domestic drama which does not need to apologize for itself: an obvious example is Act I of Die Walküre.
Sometimes the analogies are imperfectly negotiated, and even the "arts of transition" of which Wagner was justly proud cannot hold the levels together. I personally think that this is true, at all three levels, of King Mark's recriminations in Act II of Tristan. There is the problem that the view of the lovers from an everyday social perspective is less interesting at this point than what we have just experienced inside the world of night that they have entered; and in addition, for all the references to heroes and courtly honor, it is hard to dissociate Mark's complaints from a bourgeois embarrassment, doubtless familiar to Wagner himself. In such cases there are problems for production, but with skill and luck they can be dealt with. However, there is one central case, the character of Siegfried, in which there is a real vacuum, a collapse at the heart of the work, and the very questionable conception of heroism which is associated with him has, I am going to suggest, a political significance.
Another, and very manifest, feature of the style is that Wagner really did break down in some ways the conventional distinction between the musical and the nonmusical. As Mann put it, while the old criticism that Wagner's music is not really musical was absurd, nevertheless it was not entirely unintelligible: Wagner's work does in a way fuse the musical and the literary. Mann says about the E-flat chord that starts Das Rheingold:
It was an acoustic thought: the thought of the beginning of all things. Music has been here pressed into service in an imperiously dilettante fashion in order to represent a mythical concept.12
Gutman, Richard Wagner: The Man, His Mind, and His Music, pp. xiv, xviii. It is ironical that Gutman drops a condescending sneer toward Wagner's early biographers for their "Victorian delight in bringing ethical standards to bear on artistic affairs."↩
Wagner did very much like the Parsifal that he got in 1882, apart from a problem with the moving scenery. See Richard Wagner on Music and Drama, selected by Albert Goldman and Evert Sprinchorn. from translations by H. Ashton Ellis (University of Nebraska Press, 1970), pp. 369-376. It would certainly look very strange now.↩
It is perhaps worth saying that I do not think that this criticism applies to Patrice Chéreau's 1976 Bayreuth production of the Ring, which is widely known on video (issued by Philips). Some of its inventions are gratuitous, but for the most part it embodies extremely sensitive responses to the drama.↩
As Adorno pointed out (In Search of Wagner, p. 28), the idea that Wagner was a "dilettante" goes back to Nietzsche's essay "Richard Wagner in Bayreuth," written at the time of the first festival in 1876.↩

It was an all too familiar scenario for the Rochester Knighthawks, tied with under a minute to go and Kaleb Toth with the ball. But this time the Roughnecks' goal scorer was denied the game winner against the 'Hawks and it was Rochester with the last-minute heroics.
Rochester's Derek Malawsky scored with 19 seconds to play to gave the Knighthawks a 14-13 win over the Calgary Roughnecks at The Blue Cross Arena on Saturday night.
Toth, who scored the game-winning goal for the Toronto Rock against the 'Hawks in the 2000 National Lacrosse League Championship game, scored six goals and added three assists.
Shawn Williams led Rochester with four goals and four assists. Derek Malawsky (2 2) and Cory Bomberry (0 4) each had four points for the Knighthawks. Pat O'Toole made 42 saves to earn his third win of the season. Matt King stopped 33 shots for the Roughnecks, who fell to 4-4. The Knighthawks are 4-1 and tied for first place in the Central Division with the Albany Attack.

Telstra has announced a £500m+ (AU$800m) investment in cloud computing over the next five years to support what it says is a growing demand from Australian organisations for cloud services. The telco is rumoured to have invested AU$200m in cloud to date and this latest announcement will kick-off the construction of a new data centre, the modernisation of existing facilities, increased automation of utility computing services and the expansion of the telco's range of enterprise applications, among other things. Construction of a new data centre in Melbourne is already underway.
As uptake of cloud computing services by multinational corporations takes off, Ovum research indicates that the credibility of telcos as trusted providers in the space has increased significantly in the past year.

7 Cheapest Bank Takeout Target Stocks From KBW (Update 2)
3. First Financial Service Corp.
Shares of First Financial Service Corp. (FFKY) of Elizabethtown, Ky., closed at $3.00 Friday, returning 96% year-to-date, following a 62% decline during 2011. To put those figures in perspective, the 52-week return for the shares was 15%.
The shares trade for 44% of tangible book value.The company owes $20 million in TARP money. Fist Financial Service Corp. had $1.2 billion in total assets as of March 31. The company on May 15 announced that its main subsidiary First Federal Savings Bank had agreed to sell four branches in Louisville to First Security Bank of Owensboro, Ky. First Security will pay a premium of $3.6 million to assume $217 million in deposits, while also assuming $74 million in loans, at a 1% discount. First Financial Service Corp. expects the branch sale, "combined with the impending sale of four southern Indiana branches announced earlier this year," to increase First Federal Savings Bank's total risk-based capital ratio "to over 13.00%" from 10.70% as of March 31, which will exceed the 12.00% risk-based capital ratio required under a regulatory consent order. The holding company reported a first-quarter net loss to common shareholders of $533 thousand, or 12 cents a share, compared to a loss of $2.3 million, or 49 cents a share, during the first quarter of 2011. The provision for loan losses declined to $1.0 million during the first quarter from $3.5 million a year earlier. The company's nonperforming assets ratio was 6.63% as of March 31, with a Texas Ratio of 88.53%, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. KBW analyst Catherine Mealor rates First Financial Service Corp. "Market Perform," and said on May 22 that with the latest announced branch deal, the company "only needs $3M to be compliant with its consent order, versus $28M last quarter." The analyst increased her 2012 EPS estimate to a net loss of 95 cents, from a net loss of $2.12, while maintaining her 2013 EPS estimate of five cents. Mealor said that "FFKY has come a long way over the last couple quarters, and we continue to be impressed with the internal capital generated through the divestitures outside the core markets of operation," adding that "while the company still has a ways to go, we are increasing our price target by $1 to $3.50, which is in line with its peer group and represents 0.5x current

8 - Most of the products they don´t have in stock and don´t ship in 3 days like say in the webite.
9 - Don´t meet the delivery deadlines.
10 - If your phone is broken, focalprice tell you to pay more for new one.
Focalprice are deceitful! Products not as advertised and fail soon after.
I bought a tablet from them but got a tablet with lower specifications instead. The website said it is dual core 1.5Ghz. I got dual core 1032 Mhz. They advertised rear camera 1.3 mega pixel. I got rear camera 0.3 mega pixels. Instead of Screen Resolution 1024 x 600, I got 800 x 430. The tablet ended up being more expensive than the UK (for the specifications I received)
Also, the tablet's ac adapter stopped working within a month and had to buy a new one.The tablet's battery is failing and lasts only 10 minutes after a full charge, and that is after 38 days of use!!! I wasted £40 plus £10 for charger and they are not responding to my emails.
Please do not buy from them, there is no warranty on goods from China and you end up paying more. They lie and never post bad reviews about their products on their website. In fact they rejected my honest review of the product.
long history with this site
I have orderd a lot of products over the time.
There where some trouble with some packages.
But i cant blame FP for al. Beceuase there are a lot of people between FP and me.
The service is getting better and proffesional.
great side to buy gadgets etc.
They will take your money and screw you up.
I bought a USB-VGA adapter, it was delivered after a month and a half. the product did not work at all. When I try to contact them I never got an answer. they would not answer your email and when you go to the live chat they tell you to send an email.
They will screw you up big time. DO NOT BUY from these people.
i've paid them and it's completed.
but after 3 days, i ask them why they don't ship my item, after that they replied with issue that my ordered item was OUT OF STOCK!
they tell me to wait for more 4 days, then they tell me if the item can be re-stock or not.
finally, they tell me that the item i've ordered already re-stock now for 40pcs more.. so i tell them to ship my order ASAP!
until today, i got worse feeling about them since they didn't update my order.
then you know what?? THEY SAID THE ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK!! and TELL ME TO CHANGE WITH OTHER ITEMS!!
what?? this is the way how CHINEESE DOING BUSINESS!! THEY ARE ALL DIRTY!!
