For years liberals like New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu have been advocating programs such as midnight basketball as ways to reduce crime. Supposedly, young people with no ambition, moral values or job will be turned away from crime by the opportunity to shoot hoops. It sounds ridiculous, and, of course, it does not work, but the program helps the liberals feel good about what they are doing to fight the crime problem in New Orleans.
Chalk it up either to embarking on an impending campaign for state office or to set the stage to squeeze more money out of taxpayers, or both, but New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu's assertion that Louisiana somehow shortchanges the city he runs is nothing short of ludicrous.
Mayor Landrieu briefs about financial challenges; Festigals run in stilettos; Satchmo Fest announces musical lineup; and more...Here are the latest business and organization news for the New Orleans area.
Mayor Landrieu compares New Orleans and Detroit; research project on brain disorder; United flying from Lafayette to Denver, and more... These are the latest business news for the New Orleans/Louisiana area.
Welcome to 2015!
The plethora of 2014 elections are still on the political horizon in Louisiana, but already the elections set for 2015 are nudging their way into the political spectrum.
The City of New Orleans is facing a deficit that Mayor Mitch Landrieu is now trying to cover with increased hotel taxes, property taxes, and cigarette taxes. At the same time, rumor has it that experienced police officers are fleeing the force. At the state level, legislators are also missing money; if they were to look to Gov. Jindal for a solution, there would look at an empty chair.
While much of the attention as of late has been on the popularity or lack of popularity of US Senator Mary Landrieu who is in the race of her life for a fourth term as US Senator, another Landrieu is in the polling news--her brother, New Orleans mayor, Mitch Landrieu.
In the Southern Media and Opinion Research poll today, Landrieu and Republican US Senator David Vitter lead the pack for the governor's spot, election fall of 2015.
Gubernatorial politics of the future has emerged from the Louisiana Legislature with competing opinions over a bill to raise hotel taxes in New Orleans, providing jockeying both that may determine success in the field and assist the city as it hurls towards financial difficulty.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu wants the state Legislature to create a special economic district along the New Orleans riverfront in which all tax revenue generated by new hotels and other development would be the city's.
by Tyler Bridges of The Lens
(First published on the Lens)
Mayor Mitch Landrieu is facing a big budget squeeze.
Courts have ruled that the city of New Orleans must pay millions of dollars to shore up the firefighters pension fund, upgrade the parish prison's abominable conditions and reform the police force.

2012 Audi S6 gets the 4.0L twin-turbo treatment
by Steven J. Ewing (RSS feed) on Sep 14th, 2011 at 10:42AM
The hot new 2012 Audi S7 is certainly worthy of your attention (and your drool), but if swoopy hatchbacks aren't your thing, perhaps the svelte new S6 will pique your interest. After all, it packs the same twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 as the S7, cranks out the same 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, and has the same list of technological gadgets to keep you and your passengers entertained. The S7 may be the more eye-catching of the two cars, but we'd be out of our minds to ever kick this thing out of bed. See the bright red hotness for yourself in the attached high-res image...

Here's a little DIY project that will brighten up your day!
Perfect for any summer party, shower, or even just a way to spruce up your home…I'm in love with these pastel dipped milk bottle vases from sayyestohoboken.com.
Aren't they lovely?
Here's what you'll need:
1. Clean off jars well (I bought my set of mini milk bottles on etsy)
2. Grab a thick rubberband and wrap it around the bottom of the bottle so it's a nice 'dipped' angle shape (see below)
3. Apply craft paint beneath the rubber band. I love this set from Martha Stewart
4. Apply a second coat. When dry, snip off the rubber band with scissors, which is better than trying to roll it off the bottle we found and potentially getting built up wet paint on the other parts of the bottle.
For more photos and info head over to: sayyestohoboken.com
So what do you think? Give me your comments and feedback below. And, oh, by the way, don't forget to tell a friend if you like what you see! xo

Join a group on Facebook called " اهواكي يا أرثوذكسية " . They have a photo of Ihab Tawfik in front of the altar and icons with a mic in his hand and some ladies clapping behind him. The post says that he is singing and he looks like he is. Was he invited in an event in the church and he acted on his own, putting the congregation on the spot? Was it planned? Hard to tell.
It is not a matter of politics in the church. I think we can all agree that singing in front of the consecrated altar is not appropriate.
Must say that I havent heard, but it would not surprise me at all lol! In my church, they have "prayer meetings" whenever stuff goes wrong in Egypt, where they bring in a wonderful line up of politicians to come give speeches from the church pulpit. Of course this nothing more than Christian atheism (where we believe so little in the power of prayer that we substitute it with political speeches) or Christian idolatry (where we pray to the politicians.) In either case, it is by no means Christian Christianity, and has no place inside the church.But the 20-21 century has seen such a terrible decline in true spirituality that unites us as children of God, that it has been replaced by any other factor of unity. That is nationalism to the degree that we see inside our churches today. The 20-21 century has seen such a drastic decline in the sense of true spiritual power, that we have forsaken it all together, and have hurried after political justice and liberty as our source of power. all the while citing verses of the bible to justify it.So, ophadece, I am not sure about the Holy Chanter Ihab Towfik singing inside a Coptic church, but I am sure that there is a total mix up of the place of politics inside the church. My opinion, as usual, is prone to offending people, so take it as you will and with a grain of salt.RO
You are correct as always. I saved this post.
Politics aside, in the mid 90's, when The holy songs of the Better Life Team and the Praise team became the norm in meetings and during communion distribution, a seasoned servant told us: " There will come a day when the songs of Amr Diab and Muhamed Fouad ( famous Egyptian singers) will be played in the Church." Kind of prophetic.
Is there a big difference between the songs of Ihab Tawfik and other songs of Better life Team? Same words, same music, same moves.
We should not pretend to be surprised.
I regret having started this thread. I should care about my own salvation. It doesn't matter because as you rightly say, your servant is unfortunately right..
I'll take your advice..
There is nothing wrong with getting involved in politics so long as the clergy does not mix the two, like Rome did and still does to an extent. Prayer is a must but we all know that action is also a must. While I do not believe politics are necessarily a good thing I do believe that man is a political being, as Aristotle stated. Let us not forget our holy father St Cyril the great, in defense of the church he got involved in politics because the prefect had failed to protect the Christians, often siding with the pagan harlot Hypatia and even the jews. St Cyril did not try and make the church the state, but took action against the trouble making jews by expelling them from Egypt. I believe that this was an attempt to spare them from any further violence of a majority Christian mob looking for justice in the public torture and execution of Heirax.
While politics are all but corrupt, especially in Egypt, its not satanic to get involved and make your voice heard. Satanism is elevating ones self to or above the level of God.
btw, this is the video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=671462422914484I really think that there may be a mixup in the place where this song/event was hosted. Many churches have multipurpose rooms and it is not surprising to have a movable altar there or even an iconostasis for those who can afford it.
Dear Ioannes,The Jews were expelled not because they were spared the violence from Christian mobs, but because they were a huge part of the violence. The expulsion was a violent one, not a decree and exodus. They were very Salafi-like in their behavior at the time, so a peaceful exodus was not possible.St. Cyril, while I acknowledge he lived within the context of his own time, is not a good example to use of a necessary mixing of church and politics. The issue with Hypatia is considered tragic, as well as the violent battles with Alexandrian Jews. I do not say St. Cyril was wrong, but it certainly was not a good atmosphere, and especially not a good name for Christians either, as Christians at that same time were not without fault and tended to act in very intimidating ways ever since the emperor Theodosius made pagans second class citizens of the empire.I think we learn throughout history that it is a mistake to put one's trust in any governmental authority, even if he is an Orthodox Christian, as evils arise and unChristian behavior from Christians start to develop. It is best that the two entities, politics and church, are as far away as possible, to the point where any idea that resembles the symbolism of the two-headed eagle of ancient times should be heretical.
With that said, I think these days some Copts today are acting very inappropriately in the name of nationalism. A couple of weeks ago, I remember hearing a Coptic priest in publicly endorsing El Sisi mentioning how pretty and strong he is and how Egypt should have a pretty and strong president.I don't mind that there be an endorsement of El Sisi, but that it should be done with class, and without causing any scandals to other folks, as this Ehab Tawfik incident seems to have made.
Well said @minasoliman..
Ophadece, people getting involved in politics is not "the church" getting involved but rather people part of a specific church getting involved in politics. If the clergy and people, as a majority, decide to delve into politics then that would be "the church delving into politics." Your stance is so far extreme that it is somewhat offensive. If one or more members of the church struggle with a specific sin, does that mean that church as a whole is sinful? If the pope of Alexandria said "Our church should vote this way or that" then yes, you have a point. What you are saying is that a small contingent of concerned people make up the whole of the church, so a bit absurd and illogical in my opinion.
@Mina the violence was not a result of the expulsion but rather the violence likely led to the expulsion. After the murder of Heirax the Christian majority went nuts and began to attack the jews and St Cyril rightly kicked them out of Egypt. Yes they were trouble makers, and still are, but St Cyril was no doubt trying to save them from further violence and his people from sinning even more by massacring all of them.
It is not right to completely rely on government nor government officials, but if you can use politics to help your own people, then it should be done. Much like having to use violence to defend innocent people, its not necessarily good but not necessarily bad. I am just entirely confused by ophadece's stance as if the church is blurring the line of church and state, its not.
Yes, the violence caused by the Alexandrian Jewish community lead to their expulsion, but the expulsion in and of itself was not a peaceful one either. Christian mobs didn't go around telling Jews to pack their bags and leave. I have trouble believing St. Cyril did it to spare their lives from Christian mobs, when it were the same people probably who aided the expulsion.Be it as it may, the situation when using politics to help the Church tends to get out of hand. That is the main issue here. There should be strict adherence to staying away, even if it seems it could help the Church. Certainly, we were just talking about St. Constantine in other thread. It was a mistake to involve him in ecumenical discussions. He would have done better as a political leader to unite based on country, not on what you should believe, which lead to his flip flop and to the problems St. Athanasius had to face, as well as future generations, including our non-Chalcedonian fathers.Being a soldier and getting to wars from Christian laypeople is a necessary evil. Clergymen who are including political leaders in ecclesiastical affairs in exchange for a better life for Christians and making Christian law is as history seems to show, eventually evil and unnecessary.
btw, this is the video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=671462422914484I really think that there may be a mixup in the place where this song/event was hosted. Many churches have multipurpose rooms and it is not surprising to have a movable altar there or even an iconostasis for those who can afford it.No songs should be hosted at all in the Church. It does not matter where this takes place, whether in the basement of a rented community center or in a cathedral. There is no way out of this one. There is no excuse except that Ihab Tawfik acted on his own and the crowd got into it.Maybe the choir before him gave him the impression that this is not a holy place by their songs and clapping, which is also becoming more frequent in the Church of Jesus Christ for Latter Day Copts.
The issue with Hypatia is considered tragic, as well as the violent battles with Alexandrian Jews.
But cannot be blamed on or attributed to Cyril the Great.
What do you guys think about Pope Tawadros' endorsement of General Aziz? I know very little about Egyptian politics so I want to learn from you guys.In ChristTheophilus
By principle as a clergyman, I think you should be held to a high standard and not show public endorsement to anyone. With that said, the cultural atmosphere presently allows at least this one exception, and it doesn't bother me much that HH is endorsing El Sisi. HH was after all involved in a united front with El Sisi on June 30, so naturally, he's endorsing an ally.
"But cannot be blamed on or attributed to Cyril the Great."
I never said he could be blamed for this tragic death, but he was caught between a rock and hard place on this issue. He felt he had to act against the injustice of Orestes, acting in a zealous manner, but ignorant Alexandrians being hyped by this proceeded to do their infamous deed. It was such a volatile situation, all beginning with mixing politics and the church by imperial practices.
The two headed eagle deserves a noose, or better a guillotine
Thanks Mina for posting the link.
Im glad there are many on here upset about the Church being used for such events. I too would prefer to keep the Church untainted from any political activity, nor make it a forum for any political message. The Church is sacred, and this should have been done in the church hall. If there was no Church hall, then do it in a bar.
Where does someone have to go to pray and worship God nowadays???
Vladimir Putin the beloved Son of Orthodox Christianity
There are many other Orthodox Christians who disagree with that statement^^^
I don't know much about politics but I think there is more than one controversy here discussed and possibly conflated. Protestant singers and songs should never be allowed in any Orthodox church service. Ever. Period. Our Coptic Church is not bankrupt of spirituality to borrow or allow Protestantism or culturalism in the most holy place. Otherwise, we would be no different than the Jews in Matthew 21:12,13.Regarding politics and religion, I think a false dichotomy has been setup in the minds of many Copts that religious leaders should not actively participate in politics. I'm not sure where it comes from but I don't think history and liturgy supports this claim. In fact, there are numerous historical events where our Coptic patriarch was the mediator with Muslim rulers and Ethiopia or Nubia. From Constantine on, the Orthodox Church has been actively involved in politics with the Roman Empire. We have stories of St Shenoute the Archimandrite attacking a pagan priest and defending this before a magistrate court. In the post-Chalcedonian era with Pope Timothy, there was interaction with the emperor to resolve Christological issues. In the 20th century, many decisions involved Pope Cyril VI hand in hand with government officials, whether Emperor Halie Sallise or Gamal AbdelNasser. A detailed survey of Coptic history shows an incredible amount of politics with nearly every Coptic patriarch. Most of it resulted in problems, but many political actions by Coptic patriarchs resulted in peace.Liturgically, the idea that politics is inversely related to spirituality is not supported. We have a litany for the ruler (the president, the king, whatever applies now) that asks God to soften his heart to act peacefully to us. If the church was not supposed to get involved with politics, we wouldn't pray to God for the political leaders. We have a prayer for "those in the palace". The litanies in the Liturgy of St Mark/Cyril spends a lot of time praying for non-Christian people and things. Theologically, secularism is a heresy. To detach ourselves from the rest of the world implies a Machinean-like understanding of Providence. God didn't save the pure, the spiritual and the Christian only. God died for the life of the whole world. Read Fr Schmemann's For the Life of the World.That being said, Pope Tawadros II is my father, not just my patriarch. I wouldn't reproach my physical father for discussing his endorsement of a political nominee, even if I disagreed. He has the right to do that. I see no problem for any spiritual father to endorse a political leader, as long this father has the interest of God and his children above all.
Ophadece, yea you are being offensive in my opinion. Sometimes there is a need to get involved in politics, in Egypt there is a clear line between church and state, since the majority are muslim it is doubtful that the church will ever become the state. That being said, sometimes you have to do what you have to do to try to maintain peace for your people.
Mina, the fact is we are both guessing. We know there was an expulsion and perhaps violence, I am not sure scholasticus mentions violence on the scale that the movie Agora portrays it. The reason I say St Cyril did that to try and spare them, an act of mercy, is because I have read so many of his writings and am familiar with his way of thinking. He was not fond of the behavior of the jews, nor the Christian mobs at that time, but he certainly never showed signs of hatred or violence towards them. Based on what I know of his writings I think its a much safer bet that he booted the jews out of Egypt in an act of mercy. Unless you have some evidence that I am unaware of.
It's fine for any Copt including clergy to be involved in politics. That's the whole point of participating actively in society and not being passive. What unfortunately happens in Egypt, not sure if you're aware, is that clergy statements are taken to represent the church, and more so when it comes from the pope. Are you aware that the pope recently decreed no clergy to interfere in politics for the example given above by minasoliman? Bottom line is exert some wisdom in dealing with such issues..
Sorry for being offensive..
Remnkemi,I agree with much of what you said. I think we have bought into a false dichotomy too. I am reposting the following from another trend:
Don't quote me on this but I believe this idea was originally proposed by the Founding Fathers of the U.S.A in order to protect the church from corruption by the state.
OO churches where Orthodox Christians are majority, e.g. Ethiopia and Eritrea, historically don't practice much separation of church and state. I don't know much about the Armenian Orthodox Church.
Personally, I am more attracted to the idea of a church that is the conscience of the state. The church not as an entity that is prohibited to meddle in secular matters but rather an institution which guides the state on the right path.
But, this is just my opinion and I really want to learn what the Church Fathers taught.
"The double-headed eagle is the symbol of the Byzantine Empire, and that symbol carried through to Russia. One eagle represents church, and one the state. The symbol shows the synergy between both. Then, as now, there have been both benefits and drawbacks to such rule. And still, even though our country is founded in opposition to such a principle (we have a one-headed eagle), it was the way of the Roman and Byzantine Empires for more than 1,000 years, until 1453."

I'm going to expand on this, but the crux of the argument made for allowing clerics to engage in politics depends on how one is defining "politics". To use a cleric to mediate peace between two nations I don't see as politics, but as service for peacemaking. To take a heretical group to court for their violation on Church property or community I don't see as politics, but as a lawsuit. To pray for the president or king is not politics, it's a service of loving and supporting our leaders.To excommunicate someone to go to a country because of the country's political views is politics. To use the Church as a venue to endorse a political candidate is politics. To allow to consecrate a King with Holy Oil and allow him in the holy altar or involve him in ecclesiastical affairs is political meddling. To ask the President of Egypt if they approve of the choice of the Pope is political meddling.And I know where that double-headed eagle comes from, and I seek that at least one of its heads should go to the guillotine.
Can't agree more.. thank you

In 1895, Sigmund Freud made his last attempt to explain the neurophysiological basis of the way the brain functions. His essay on the subject, "Project for a Scientific Psychology," was never published during his lifetime. We have learned much about the brain since 1895, yet no equally ambitious attempt has since been made to examine the broad implications of neuroscientific research for the functioning of the brain and for psychology. Recently, Gerald M. Edelman, director of The Neurosciences Institute at The Rockefeller University, has proposed a new theory, one that gives us powerful reasons to revise our ideas about how we think, act, and remember. Although this theory is not directly based on Freud's work, it confronts several of the problems with which Freud wrestled throughout his creative life.
Central to Freud's work was the connection between memory and the psychology of everyday life. He considered memory to be a permanent record of past events, a record that was anatomically separate from the brain mechanisms that are responsible for our ability to make sense of the world around us. As he wrote in the final chapter of The Interpretation of Dreams,
[T]here are obvious difficulties involved in supposing that one and the same system can accurately retain modifications of its elements and yet remain perpetually open to the reception of fresh occasions for modifications. [Therefore] we shall distribute these two functions on to different systems.
On December 6, 1896, Freud wrote to his close friend Wilhelm Fliess,
As you know, I am working on the assumption that our psychical mechanism has come into being by a process of stratification: the material present in the form of memory-traces being subjected from time to time to a re-arrangement in accordance with fresh circumstances—to a re-transcription. Thus what is essentially new about my theory is the thesis that memory is present not once but several times over, that it is laid down in various species of indications.
In the same letter he writes, "If I could give a complete account of the psychological characteristics of perception and of the [registrations of memory], I should have described a new psychology."
Freud was acutely aware that recollections are often imperfect and fragmentary, and that they can and do alter perceptions. His theory attempted to explain how what he took to be perfect stores of memory were so transformed, arguing that memories cannot be released in their permanent form because the satisfactions and pleasures once associated with youthful impressions can no longer be experienced directly. Hence they reappear in dreams, but disguised and reworked. Ideas, Freud argued, become separated from associated emotions (affects) and disappear from consciousness. The emotions become attached to apparently unrelated ideas, disguising their real meaning. And we often appear to forget the memories themselves. Repression, screen memories, latent dream content, the return of the repressed—all were mechanisms elaborated in Freud's theory to account for the ways in which fixed memories, however distorted and incomplete, can manifest themselves and affect our present view of the world. Freudian theory attempts to account for an apparent paradox: if we believe that memories are, by their very nature, permanently stored in the brain, why are they rarely recalled in their original form? It is the inaccuracy of recollection that Freudian psychology evokes so well. The reasons for this apparent inaccuracy may, however, be quite different from those that Freud suggested. In fact, the assumption that memories are in any sense part of a fixed record may be wrong.
If memory is a fixed record, neurophysiologists still cannot say precisely where and how memories are stored. The hypothesis of a fixed record may have been formulated prematurely, without sufficient attention to the means by which we recognize objects and events. We are probably much better at recognition than we are at recollection. We recognize people despite changes wrought by aging, and we recognize photographs of places we have visited and personal items we have misplaced. We can recognize paintings by Picasso and adept imitations of Picasso. When we recognize a painting that we have never seen as by Picasso or as an imitation, we are doing something more than recalling earlier impressions. We are categorizing: Picassos and fakes. Our recognition of paintings or of people is the recognition of a category, not a specific item. People are never exactly what they were moments before and objects are never seen in exactly the same way.
One possible explanation for this is that our capacity to remember is not for specific recall of an image stored somewhere in our brain. Rather it is an ability to organize the world around us into categories, some general, some specific. When we speak of a stored mental image of a friend, which image or images are we referring to? The friend doing what, when, and where? One reason why the search for memory molecules and specific information storage zones in the brain has so far been fruitless may be that they are just not there. Unless we can understand how we categorize people and things and how we generalize, we may never understand how we remember. Yet we do remember names, telephone numbers, words and their definitions. Are these not examples of items that must be stored in some kind of memory? Notice, however, that we generally recall names and telephone numbers in a particular context; each of our recollections is different, just as we use the same word in different sentences. These are categorical, not just specific recollections.
Clinical neurologists have long been aware that brain disease may lead to severe alterations in memory, but they have yet to analyze deeply the nature of categorization. In a rare abnormality resulting from brain damage and known as prosopagnosia, patients lose the ability to identify the faces of friends and well-known public personalities. But they can recognize faces as faces. And while they cannot identify their own car or their own coat, they do recognize cars and clothing as such. They apparently can recall general categories but cannot identify specific items. Something similar may occur in some forms of amnesia as well. Antonio Damasio and his colleagues at the University of Iowa Medical School described a patient with amnesia sitting in a room with the curtains drawn and unable to recall the season. When the patient looked out the window, he noted the color of the trees and the dress of a passerby, and exclaimed, "By golly, it must be July or August." He could not recall the month of the year, but he could deduce it given appropriate evidence.
These studies appear to suggest that our ability to recognize general categories as opposed to the recognition of specific items such as Mary's face or Alison's hat depends on two different brain functions. But the ability to recognize Alison's hat is, in part at least, based on temporal associations. We may have seen Alison wearing that hat last Sunday. The loss of the ability to categorize events in time can cause a nearly total loss of specific references. It is not the specific items that are no longer recalled, but their temporal order or their arrangement in succession that has not been formed or has been lost. When Damasio and his colleagues examined the man with amnesia about the calendar year, they found he had brain damage which made him unable to establish "temporal and spatial relationships between separate sensory information items."1
Individual needs and desires, then, determine how we classify the people, places, and events that fill our daily lives. Moreover, the categories we use seem to depend on cross-correlations, or context. Yet many influential theories of mental function posit fixed entities that have an independent existence of their own. Freud, for example, described many ordinary objects as fitting into categories based on their resemblance to male or female sexual organs (phallic symbols, for example) and tended to view such categories as representing deeper drives that are universal within the human species. Many clinical neurologists and psychologists disagree with Freud's notion of universal sexual drives; they nevertheless hold that information is organized into permanent categories in one or more memory systems within the brain, and that it can systematically be brought to consciousness in ways analogous to memory searches used in computers. The processes that are responsible for our recognition of categories, however, do not seem to depend on such fixed mechanisms.
There are good biological reasons to question the idea of fixed universal categories. In a broad sense, they run counter to the principles of the Darwinian theory of evolution. Darwin stressed that populations are collections of unique individuals. In the biological world there is no typical animal and no typical plant. When we say a salt molecule has a specific size we are giving a measurement which, allowing for error, is true for all salt molecules. But there is no set of measurements that will universally describe more than the one example of a plant or animal we are measuring. Qualities we associate with human beings and other animals are abstractions invented by us that miss the nature of the biological variation. The central conception in Darwinian thought is that variations in populations occur from which selection may take place. It is the variation that is real, not the mean. It was Darwin's recognition of this profound difference between the biological and physical worlds that led to the rise of modern biology. The mechanisms of inheritance through genes create diversity within populations; selection from these populations allows certain organisms to survive in unpredictable environments.
Darwinian ideas have had a variable influence on psychological thinking, which has sometimes strayed away from biological explanation. Modern ethology, which studies the relation of animal and human behavior, has recaptured much of the Darwinian flavor that unfortunately left psychology when early learning theorists such as Pavlov seemed to be successful in explaining behavior without paying heed to the differences between animal species. But as important as their insights are, ethologists have not applied Darwinian thinking to the workings of the brain in each individual of a species.
Does evolutionary thought have anything to do with the explanation of the psychology of individual human beings? The theory of the brain Gerald Edelman proposed in 1978 sought to explain neurophysiological function as a Darwinian system involving variation and selection. Although his theory is confined to neurobiology, implicit in this work is a bold attempt to unify the biological and psychological sciences, one that strongly depends on the ideas of evolution and the facts of developmental biology.
Edelman had earlier studied the immune system. For years, scientists had wondered how the body produced antibodies against viruses or bacteria it had never encountered. Linus Pauling had suggested in 1940 that there was one basic kind of antibody molecule in the body. When the body was invaded by a bacterium, he had argued, the antibody molecule would mold itself around the intruder, thus acquiring a definite shape. Copies of the mold were made and released into the bloodstream where they would bind to the invading bacteria. The system learned, or was instructed by, the shape of a bacterium only after being exposed to it.

Anyone attend or know about hacienda la puente rop lvn program?
- 1Apr 1, '10 by TNG07I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM FROM ANY STUDENTS OR GRADUATES? WHAT ARE THE PRE LVN CLASSES, AND WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? THANKS FOR THE INFO...GOD BLESS
- 0Apr 19, '10 by fgamiaoI'm currently a student attending Hacienda La Puente Adult School VN program. I started the program in June 2009 and expected to graduate in June 2010.
First, there is a test that you need to pass in order to be considered for the pre-vn class. It's your basic math and english test. You have to walk in and pay a certain fee. Call the office since I don't know if they changed the schedule of the test. Next, they choose 100 students to attend the pre-vn class. Then, they choose the top 35 students(including alternates) for the acutal VN class.
I suggest that you check out other puclic sector VN programs near your area. Don't be only concentrating on one school. From what I'm hearing, there is a huge budget cut for the next school year and it's affecting all the ROP and adult schools. It means that they may cut certain programs, reduce the amount of students, or reduce the enrollment date of the program.
Honestly, I am glad that I took the risk and enrolled into Hacienda La Puente VN program. Although I travel far (from Garden Grove), I can't complain about the amount of clinical experience that I'm getting from this program. I enjoy what I do!!! Good luck with your choice in VN programs out there!
- 1Apr 20, '10 by Bella39841Hi. I attended HLPAE's LVN program from Jan 08 until Dec 08. I learned soooooooooo much there. The teachers were great. I never did get my LVN license because I was immediately accepted into the RN program at Mt. Sac and am now in my 3rd semester. The LVN program taught me so many skills and patient care that I haven't really gotten to do in the RN program. I haven't done 1/3 of the stuff I did in the LVN program. Don't get me wrong. I am so happy to be in the RN program. It's a different mentality and we go to so many hospitals and learn a lot, too.
The LVN program at HLPAE is really hard and lots of work and you can get burned out really quickly. There are hardly ANY breaks except for a week off after the 1st 6 months and another week off about 2 months later. It's 2 1/2 days of clinicals and 1 1/2 days of theory. There are quizzes every single week and a lot is expected from you at clinicals as well. But, you know what? If you're passionate about nursing and you love working with people, you will do well. Besides, the best thing about nursing school is the people you meet and the bonding relationships you develop with your classmates.
Good luck in your quest in becoming a nurse.
P.S. I think LVNs work way more harder than RNs and we learn a lot from the CNAs. Love them.Last edit by dianah on Apr 20, '10 : Reason: Removed names, as posting names is Terms of Service violation
- 0May 3, '10 by scrapnurse2010I graduated from Hacienda's LVN program in Dec 2006. The program/instructors were tough, but it was sooooo worth it! Not to be vain, but I think Rio Hondo and Hacienda have excellent LVN programs. I have worked with nurses from other schools, and let's just say that you will be thankful that you went there! you graduate well prepared. If you go the Hacienda route, it is tough but hang in there. The instructors grill you and drain you, but it is to make you a stronger and SAFE nurse. If ---------- is still there, you will learn a lot from her, also from -----. Some tips : be on time, have everything ready the night before clinicals, stay confident!Last edit by dianah on May 3, '10 : Reason: Removed names, as posting names is Terms of Service violation

I am also interested in Hacienda's LVN program and I was just wondering, how long the PRE lvn class was and when it usually takes place?
- 1May 15, '10 by PhallenangelQuote from bamitsdhillsHello!
I am also interested in Hacienda's LVN program and I was just wondering, how long the PRE lvn class was and when it usually takes place?
I just finished the 4 pre-VN classes this week. Getting into the classes is as follows: Upon completing the assessment test w/ a competitive score (I really don't know how they score, but 12 is the highest score in the categories of reading, writing, and math), they invite 100 people to attend 4 MANDATORY pre-vn classes. They told us everyone who was invited to the pre-classes pretty much had 12's across the board....a few 11's, but not very many.
Once you are invited, you choose which day you want to take the 4 pre-classes: either Mondays 8am-12pm or Thursdays 4pm-8pm. I chose the Thurs classes and there was about 30 or so people in our class. The instructor said there were about 56 people in the Monday class.
Selection into the LVN program is based on a 100-pt rubric system and they only take in 30 ppl. There are several tests based on different subjects. Ours was on the respiratory system, asthma, dosage calculations, and a 30-pg handbook they sent us via email. You also have to give a speech about yourself in front of the everyone. Finally, there is a health careers aptitude test where they ask several questions on psychology, science, and spelling.
You know immediately how you scored on some of the tests, but not others. Therefore, you don't fully know how you stand compared to others. By the end of 4 classes, there was about 25 or so people left in our class. The instructor said in past years, there are usually about 60 ppl left after the 4 classes are done...so you have about a 50% chance of getting in.
I hope this helps. They said they would let us know via email if we got in or not by the end of next week...and the wait is already agonizing! Wish me luck! And good luck to you! God Bless!
- 0May 15, '10 by PhallenangelOh...one thing I forgot to add....
My pre-vn classes started in mid April. The LVN program begins every June and January. They, obviously, have to give you time to get your stuff together (CPR certification, TB testing, physical, etc.), so I would think the pre classes for the January candidates start sometime in October/November.

Shanghai International Boat Show Comes Of Age
SHANGHAI, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 11th 2013 the China ( Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) comes of age and once more shows itself to be the key to the Chinese water leisure market.
(Photo: http://www.prnasia.com/sa/2013/01/28/20130128135334418342.html )
CIBS has grown virtually every year since its birth in an underground car park 18 years ago and 2013 is no exception with its exhibition area up by 37% to 48,000 sq m, confirmed booths so far up 20% and a projected trade up around 30% to 3Bn RMB. In fact, the show is at 97% capacity with two full months to go until it opens its doors to the boat buying public. Audited visitor numbers to CIBS are expected to top 40,000.
Carrying forward the 17 previous years of experience in Shanghai - the city which for generations has been a leader within China in accepting new ideas and concepts and currently enjoys a GDP of around 0.5 Trillion RMB - CIBS 2013 will be partnered by ELS 2013 and Expo Leisure 2013, providing an even greater draw for those people looking at ways to enjoy their leisure time through the natural cross fertilization such a triumvirate will provide.These other partner shows also have their stars with, for example, Expo leisure having on display a 35m RMB Camper by Volkner. Not to be outdone, CIBS itself will see China debuts from the likes of the Searay 370 Venture, Azimut 45, RIVA, Cranchi M44, Prestige 450 & 620S and Majesty 88 amongst others. Additionally, Shanghai's 132,000 US Dollar millionaires are amongst the first generation to have become rich since the 1978 opening of China and the national pavilions of Australia, Italy, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States will naturally be looking to capitalize on such opportunities for their leisure marine companies. Of these the Italian contingent appears to be the most dynamic with 25 companies joining the national pavilion and several other Italian companies joining as independent exhibitors.

Wage Survey for 700 Occupations in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington released
The Dallas office of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics today released "Occupational Employment and Wages in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, May 2010."
This report contains employment and wage information for 22 major occupational groups and 700 detailed jobs in the greater Dallas metropolitan area. You can examine average wages by major occupational group, such as business and financial operations occupations, or review wages for detailed jobs within those groups, including accountants and auditors, management analysts, or credit analysts.
The mean wage for all occupations in the Dallas area was $21.89 per hour in May 2010, above the national average of $21.35. Local wages for the major groups ranged from $9.51 per hour in food preparation and serving related jobs to $52.28 in management occupations. Legal occupations ranked second in pay at $46.60, followed by computer and mathematical workers at $39.01.
Regional Commissioner Stanley Suchman noted these additional points regarding the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington results:
- After testing for statistical significance, wages in the local area were measurably higher than their respective national averages in 6 of the 22 major occupational groups, including management, computer and mathematical, and business and financial operations.
- Among the higher-paying jobs in the business and financial operations group were agents and managers of artists, performers, and athletes with mean hourly wages of $44.06, and personal financial advisors at $43.22.
- Local employment was more highly concentrated than the national average in 8 of 22 occupational groups including office and administrative support, sales and related, and business and financial operations. Conversely, local employment shares were significantly below the U.S average in 10 groups, including health care practitioners and technical, as well as healthcare support.
- Location quotients present the occupational make-up of a metropolitan area by comparing the composition of jobs in an area relative to the national average. For example, a location quotient of 2.0 indicates that an occupation accounts for twice the share of employment in the area than it does nationally. In the Dallas area, above average concentrations of employment were found in a number of the occupations within the business and financial operations group. For instance, both credit analysts and credit counselors were employed at more than 2 times the national rate in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington. And occupations related to air transportation also had above average concentrations in the local area, such as flight attendants at 3 times the national rate and avionics technicians at nearly 4 times the national rate. On the other hand, the job of tax examiner, collector, and revenue agent had a location quotient of 0.5 in Dallas, meaning the local employment share in this particular occupation was below the national average.
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington publication will be available later today at www.bls.gov/ro6/fax/oes_dfw.htm. To assist you now, a PDF copy of the release is attached, along with an Excel file containing selected information for all occupations published for the area. You may download additional detailed tabular data for Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington from www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_19100.htm and similar data for the State at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_tx.htm. Or the Metroplex can be divided into its two components of Dallas-Plano-Irving and Fort Worth-Arlington, which can be found under "Texas" at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcma.htm#T. A national listing of all metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas is available at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oessrcma.htm. The economic release for the U.S. is located at www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/ocwage.pdf and the detailed table of occupational wages for the U.S. is located at www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm.

DALLAS, December 28, 2013 — Cadillac is cool, and the 2014 Cadillac SRX raises the cool factor even higher. It's an entry-level luxury crossover SUV and the only changes on the 2014 edition are the all-wheel drive on the base trim level be discontinued and a few tweaks to option packages.
Competition with the 2014 Cadillac SRX includes BMW X3, Audi Q4 and the Acura RDX. All have different attributes to offer, but the Cadillac option excels in the area of safety in this class.
There are four trims on the luxury Cadillac SRX including Base, Luxury, Performance and Premium. The base has 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, high-end vinyl upholstery, eight-way power driver seat, reclining and 60/40 split-folding rear seat, the CUE system with an eight-inch display and a variety of other technology bells and whistles.
On the Luxury trim add to the base trim a blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert system as well a rearview camera, rain-sensing wipers and a large sunroof. For the Luxury trim you also get the real leather upholstery and more seat adjustments for extra comfort including heated front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and accent lighting.
You can also add the Driver Awareness package to this trim level and that will give you forward-collision and lane departure warning systems and high beams or the Driver Assist package offers cruise control, automatic collision preparation and automatic braking.
For the Performance trim the wheels are 20-inch alloy with a sport-tuned suspension, a variable-effort power steering, xenon headlights, fog lights and a navigation system with a Bose audio system.
At the top is the Cadillac SRX Premium and on this you get the Driver Awareness package and add a tri-zone climate control with heated and cooling seats in the rear.
On all the trims except the base there is also an option to add a tow package.
Under the hood the 2014 Cadillac SRX has a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 308 horsepower with 265 pound-feet of torque. Front wheel drive comes standard; all-wheel drive is available on all but the base trim. The six-speed automatic transmission is the only transmission offered.
For safety the 2014 Cadillac SRX is equipped with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control and front side/side curtain airbags. The OnStar system has automatic crash notification, roadside assistance, remote door unlocking and a stolen vehicle help system. With all trims come parking sensors, and the rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts on the Luxury trim. The optional packages come equipped with a variety of safety features like collision alerts, and even lane departure and safety alert driver seat methods, in which the seat will vibrate to alert the driver of hazards.
While under the hood and in consideration of safety the Cadillac SRX is indeed top of the line, the interior of the 2014 Cadillac SRX is also worth a mention. Think luxury and comfort with a superior look, good to the touch as well.
The touchscreen CUE system takes front and center and after a bit of time you will get used to it and find it most intuitive. CUE works in sync with everything too, your phone, the navigation system and the system also responds to touch commands, but it is slower than I liked in regarding to always making a response to commands like radio control or the temperature controls.
This Cadillac offers plenty of room for the short and the tall and the cargo space is 30 cubic feet behind the seats, but about 60 feet with rear seatbacks folded down.
Getting on the highway and taking the lead is easy in this one as its smooth and comfortable while also depending on the trim sporty and fun to drive all around.
Should You Need to Know: Notice the CUE infotainment interface, which means Cadillac User Experience offering a touchscreen display with surrounding controls that you tap or slide.
Miles Per Gallon: I drove the 2014 SRX AWD Premium with a 16 miles per gallon fuel economy in the city and 23 on the highway.
Cost: The 2014 SRX AWD Premium came in with a price tag of $57,460.

Both men involved in the shooting remained at University Hospital in Birmingham Wednesday.
Thomas said officers initially responded to a call on the 820 block of Scott Street at 10:50 p.m. Friday. They initially found Takarius Jabraun Turner, 26, of Shaw Avenue, laying in the front yard with what appeared to be numerous gunshot wounds. An AK 47 assault rifle was lying on the front porch.
Turner was transported to the emergency room of Citizens Baptist Medical Center, where he was stabilized before being airlifted to University Hospital.
Timothy Wilson Jr., 26, was found inside the residence on Scott Street, where he lives. He had a single gunshot wound to his leg, but the bullet hit his femoral artery, so the wound was considered serious. He was taken to Citizens and loaded directly onto a helicopter there.
Thomas said investigators have not been able to talk with either man, so the details and exact timeline of events remain unclear. A witness told investigators that Turner came into Wilson's home with the AK 47, and, after a verbal argument, shots were fired.
Wilson appears to have been firing a .45 caliber automatic handgun. Turner was hit at least 10 times in the chest, abdomen, legs and foot.
No information was available on either man's condition.
A search warrant was carried out on the Scott Street house Monday. Several casings from both weapons were recovered, and investigators documented holes in the walls of the house that appeared to have been fired from both inside and outside the residence.
Anyone with information on this incident should contact the Talladega Police Department at 256-362-4508 or call the city's anonymous tip line at 256-299-0011.
