OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to propose an optimal treatment regimen of meropenem in critically ill patients with severe nosocomial pneumonia. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Among 55 patients in intensive care treated with 1 g of meropenem every 8 h for severe nosocomial pneumonia, 30 were assigned to intermittent infusion (II; over 0.5 h) and 25 to extended infusion (EI; over 3 h) groups. Based on plasma and epithelial lining fluid (ELF) concentrations determined at steady-state, pharmacokinetic modelling and Monte Carlo simulations were undertaken to assess the probability of attaining drug concentrations above the MIC for 40%-100% of the time between doses (%T > 1-fold and 4-fold MIC), for 1 or 2 g administered by either method. RESULTS: Penetration ratio, measured by the ELF/plasma ratio of AUCs, was statistically higher in the EI group than in the II group (mean +/- SEM: 0.29 +/- 0.030 versus 0.20 +/- 0.033, P = 0.047). Considering a maximum susceptibility breakpoint of 2 mg/L, all dosages and modes of infusions achieved 40%-100% T > 1-fold MIC in plasma, but none did so in ELF, and only the 2 g dose over EI achieved 40%-100% T > 4-fold MIC in plasma. CONCLUSIONS: The optimum regimen to treat severe nosocomial pneumonia was 2 g of meropenem infused over 3 h every 8 h. This regimen achieved the highest pharmacodynamic targets both in plasma and in ELF. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 5 (0 ULg)

The application of multiple imputation (MI) techniques as a preliminary step to handle missing values in data analysis is well established. The MI method can be classified into two broad classes, the joint modeling and the fully conditional specification approaches. Their relative performance for the longitudinal ordinal data setting under the missing at random (MAR) assumption is not well documented. This paper intends to fill this gap by conducting a large simulation study on the estimation of the parameters of a longitudinal proportional odds model. The two MI methods are also illustrated in quality of life data from a cancer clinical trial. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 72 (17 ULg)

Cervical cancer is a major public health concern in Morocco where it represents the second most common and lethal cancer in women. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been licensed in Morocco since 2008 but there are no available data on their acceptability. This study aimed to assess awareness of HPV and the vaccine, and to identify factors associated with acceptability of the vaccine among parents in Morocco. We carried out a questionnaire-based survey using face-to-face interviews in a sample of 852 parents (670 mothers and 182 fathers) with at least one unmarried daughter </=26 years. We collected data within public and private health centres and clinics in four regions in Morocco between July and August 2012. The main outcome measure was parental acceptability of the HPV vaccine for their daughter(s). Responses revealed very low awareness of HPV infection (4.7%) and the HPV vaccine (14.3%). None of the participants had vaccinated their daughter(s) against HPV and vaccine acceptability was low among mothers (32%) and fathers (45%). Higher education and income, previous awareness of the HPV vaccine and endorsement of the belief that a recommendation from the Ministry of Health or a doctor to have the vaccine would be encouraging, were associated with mothers' HPV vaccine acceptability. Non-acceptability among mothers was associated with having more than two daughters, believing the vaccine was expensive, lack of information and believing that whatever happens to an individual's health is God's will. The only factor associated with the fathers' acceptability of the vaccine was the cost of the vaccine. Increasing HPV and HPV vaccine awareness through educational campaigns, along with active recommendation by physicians and a publically funded vaccination programme could increase parental acceptability of the HPV vaccine in Morocco.

BACKGROUND: -The relationship between biomechanical properties and biological activities in aortic aneurysms was investigated with finite element simulations (FES) and 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). METHODS AND RESULTS: -The study included 53 patients (45 males) with aortic aneurysms, 47 infrarenal (AAA) and 6 thoracic (TAA), who had at least one 18F-FDG PET/computed tomography. Over a 30-month period, more clinical events occurred in patients with increased 18F-FDG uptake on their last examination than in those without (5/18 (28%) vs. 2/35 (6%); P=0.03). Wall stress and stress/strength index computed by FES and 18F-FDG uptake were evaluating a total of 68 examinations. 25 (38%) examinations demonstrated at least one aneurysm wall area of increased 18F-FDG uptake. The mean number of these areas per examination was 1.6 (18/11) in TAAs vs. 0.25 (14/57) in AAAs, while the mean number of increased uptake areas co-localizing with highest wall stress and stress/strength index areas was 0.55 (6/11) and 0.02 (1/57), respectively. Quantitatively, 18F-FDG PET uptake correlated positively with both wall stress and stress/strength index (P<0.05). 18F-FDG uptake was particularly high in subjects with personal history of angina pectoris and familial aneurysm. CONCLUSIONS: -Increased 18F-FDG PET uptake in aortic aneurysms is strongly related to aneurysm location, wall stress as derived by FES and patient's risk factors such as acquired and inherited susceptibilities.

OBJECTIVES: Currently, the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the correlation between CAD severity and AAA prevalence are not clearly known. We conducted a prospective study to determine the prevalence of AAA in patients undergoing coronary angiography and to determine the risk factors and a coronary profile associated with AAA. METHODS: Over an 18-month period, abdominal aortic ultrasound was performed on 1,000 patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected or known CAD, or prior to valve surgery. Clinical characteristics and coronary profile were collected from the patients. RESULTS: The overall number of previously repaired, already diagnosed, and new cases of AAA in the study population was 42, yielding a prevalence of 4.2%. Among the patients with newly detected AAAs, only two had an AAA diameter of >54 mm and were therefore treated surgically. In men aged >/=65 years, the prevalence reached 8.6%, while in men with three-vessel CAD it was 14.4%. Multivariate analysis showed that age >/=65 years (p = .003), male gender (p = .003), family history of AAA (p = .01), current smoking (p = .002), and three-vessel CAD (p < .001) were significantly associated with a higher prevalence of AAA. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of AAA was high in men aged >/=65 years and in those with three-vessel CAD regardless of age. While our findings do not prove the cost-effectiveness of screening for AAA in these high risk patients, they do support the usefulness of a quick ultrasound examination of the abdominal aorta during routine transthoracic echocardiography in such patients.

Blackcurrants constitute an important source of potential health promoting phytochemicals (e.g. phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid) due to their antioxidant properties. Only small portions of berries are consumed fresh, most of their intake coming from processed foods, such as juices. Seven techniques were used to measure antioxidant capacity and antioxidant compounds of 10 juices. This yielded a large disparity of results. No single test, even the most popular ORAC assay, is able to compare the antioxidant capacity of similar food matrix such as blackcurrant juices. By combining tests from a large battery of « antioxidant » assays, it is possible to improve the discrimination of a food matrix by establishing a Global Antioxidant Score (GAS) which correlates well with graphical representations like Chernoff faces or stars. The latter approaches may help food industry managers and authorities to compare their « antioxidant » products with those existing on the market. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 54 (21 ULg)

Abstract Background: The prevalence of chronic pathologies such as cardio-vascular diseases is increasing, in part due to dietary habits. Some dietary patterns may influence health more than individual foods, nutrients or food groups. The objective of this research was to identify dietary patterns associated with common cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a sample of adult individuals living in the Greater Region. Methods: Data were taken from the cross-sectional NESCAV (Nutrition, Environment and Cardiovascular Health) study, aiming to describe the cardiovascular health of the Greater Region's population (1). Dietary intake was assessed using a 132-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), from which 44 food groups were formed. Food group consumptions were adjusted for energy intake using the residuals method of Willet and Stampfer (2). Participants under a special diet to manage their CVRF were excluded. Likewise, those who had a history of cardiovascular disease or with confirmed diabetes, hypertension, and/or dyslipidemia were also discarded as they may have changed their diet. Thus, a total of 1691 individuals were included in the study (865 from Luxembourg, 527 from Wallonia and 299 from Lorraine). We applied the reduced rank regression method to identify specific dietary patterns strongly associated with common CVRF (3). The CVRF-specific dietary patterns were constructed by choosing intake data as predictors and CVRF as outcomes. Nine CVRF (BMI, waist to hip ratio, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, blood glucose, diastolic and systolic blood pressure) were used in the statistical analysis. Associations between dietary patterns and CVRF were adjusted according to gender, age, smoking status and level of physical activity. Results: Two main dietary patterns were identified. A pattern characterized by high intakes of alcohol, potatoes and high-fat food such as pastries, fried foods, offal, processed and smoked meat, margarine, but low intakes of cereals, soups, soft drink and olive oil, was significantly associated with an increase of all CVRF. On the other hand, a healthy pattern characterized by high consumption of brown bread, nuts, soups, vegetables, smoked and canned fish, olive oil and oil rich in omega 6 and 3, high-fat dairy products, butter and margarine, but a low consumption of fried foods, rice/pasta, meat, ready meal, soft drink and beer, was associated with a decrease of all CVRF except LDL. Conclusions: Our results suggest that dietary patterns of the Greater Region population are related to CVRF. Diet rich in alcohol and high-fat food is associated with a higher cardiovascular risk whereas a healthy diet is associated with a lower cardiovascular risk. These results emphasize the need for cross-border preventive nutritional strategies. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 18 (2 ULg)

Abstract Background: In epidemiological studies, the validation of dietary assessment instruments is important to avoid biased associations with outcome measures. Objective: Our objective was to assess the validity of the 134-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) used in the Nutrition Environment and Cardiovascular Health (NESCAV) study. Methods: The FFQ was validated against a 3-day dietary record (DR) on a sample of 29 women. The intra- class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland and Altman plots were used to assess absolute agreement, whereas relative agreement was appraised by Spearman's correlation coefficient and Cohen kappa coefficient based on cross classification of 3-category nutrient intake. Results: The two methods differed significantly for the majority of micronutrients with FFQ yielding higher intakes than the DR. The bias between the two methods was nonetheless acceptable with an average overestimation by the FFQ of 11% for macronutrients and 29% for micronutrients. Regarding precision, results differed by 48% for micronutrients and 50% for macronutrients. Correlations on energy-adjusted data by the two methods were satisfactory with an average correlation of 0.47 and 16/25 coefficients above 0.40. Only vitamin A and cholesterol showed poor correlations of 0.02 and 0.05, respectively. On average, the correct classification rate in 3 categories was 50.3% and 19/25 kappa coefficients were above 0.20. Poor agreement was found for protein, cholesterol, starch, vitamins A, B12 and E with weighted kappa coefficient less than 0.20. Conclusion: Although absolute values of dietary intakes were not always accurate, the relationship and agreement between FFQ and DR may be considered as satisfactory. In particular, the FFQ was able to categorize subjects into 3 broad categories of intakes for most nutrients. Results for proteins, cholesterol, starch, vitamins A, E and B12 however ought to be interpreted with caution [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 16 (1 ULg)

NEW YORK — Pound it into the paint, pound your opponent on the backboards.
The Memphis Grizzlies rediscovered their winning formula Saturday, getting 25 points and 15 rebounds from Zach Randolph and snapping a five-game losing streak with a 95-87 victory over the New York Knicks.
Tony Allen added 19 points and eight boards while providing his usual strong defense.
Jerryd Bayless scored 11 points, including two free throws to end a Knicks flurry that had trimmed a 19-point deficit to four in the final half-minute.
"This was going to be a tough one. It is not easy winning here," point guard Mike Conley said. "For us to come in and win says a lot. Hopefully this will spark something for us."
Conley finished with nine points and eight assists after missing two games with a bruised left thigh for the Grizzlies, who had a 56-29 rebounding advantage and outscored the Knicks 60-28 in the paint.
"That's embarrassing, especially when you start a big lineup," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said, adding that Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler and Andrea Bargnani needed to rebound better.
Anthony scored 30 points, while reserves J.R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr. each had 16 for the Knicks.
Chandler had eight points and six rebounds in his second game back from a broken leg, while Bargnani managed just three points and two boards in 22 minutes after moving back into the starting lineup.

New home sales continued to enjoy their best spring in two years, with the number of purchase contracts rising for a fifth consecutive month in April, according to Costa Mesa-based Hanley Wood Market Intelligence.
While Hanley Wood tracks the opening of escrows -- some of which end up getting canceled -- the figures give a glimpse of future new home sales trends.
Hanley Wood's latest figures show:
The latest Hanley Wood figures closely resemble new-home reports provided recently by DataQuick, which monitors closed sales for newly built homes.
For example, DataQuick figures show that closed sales of new homes increased in four of the past five months from the year before, with May sales rising 136%.

Title: Sony: Go Back To School
Posted: September 09, 2006 (08:59 AM)
I think that the bottom line here is trust. Gamers and developers need to know that they can trust the console manufacturer to launch what they say is going to be launched. Things don't need to be "perfect" on day one, but the preparations that lead up to the launch date are as important to the console's success as the days after. It is the job of Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo to convince us, the gaming community, that the console is worth rooting for. And unaccounted hype destroys that. When we go our local game store and get the shiny box with "PS3" emblazoned on the front of it, we want to feel absolutely thrilled, without any signs of hesitation or regret. To be sure, the PS3 will succeed but it's how successful that is the question. The playing field has levelled now. Sony will need to compete and they better re-learn how. Soon.

Title: Hey, PS3, Keep Exclusive Games... Exclusive
Posted: September 07, 2006 (09:19 AM)
With the recent announcement that Assassin's Creed will not be PS3 exclusive, my hope that the shining beacon of Sony will succeed is becoming dim. The Xbox 360 already has a head start and with all these titles becoming a part of the porting party, the PS3 $600 price point is looking like it's going to cut my wallet and my anticipation in half. The thought of buying both consoles is beginning to slip away and unless the PS3 is able to put its foot down on its own territory, I'm not going to have any trouble discarding my thoughts in the trash. Microsoft is starting to settle in a place in my mind that, well, has never been there before - a good place.

Under the canopy, my eyes swelter limp,
swooning, fuming, drying with the branches, mute
beneath the feeble still of rainclouds. Naked
windstruck hair spills like lukewarm sand
through pneumonia-tinted leaves, cancerous
pallor, of earthen rosewater skin.
My face, rotting in shade, stares frozen
at grey between flawless green, for the petals
of eden turn black to dusty flesh.

Title: I hate that.
Posted: August 30, 2006 (03:55 AM)
Yesterday, at night, I was eating some Chinese noodles with beef and gai lan (one of those Chinese vegetables). Covered in a rather viscuous sauce, I microwaved my dinner on a wide plate. I waited for about two minutes, popped it out, and quickly tottered to the glass living room table. Can't miss the 2006 World Series of Poker, can I? And then, as I chomped and slurped down the heavenly food, the TV screen turned to a commercial on erectile disfunction.
Genital discharges. Urinal baggage. Call your doctor.
I stopped eating.
I hate that.

Title: News - Xploder HDTV Player for the PS2
Posted: August 12, 2006 (12:47 AM)
Fire International will be showcasing the new PS2 Xploder HDTV Player at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, August 23rd - 26th. This self-proclaimed "ultimate PS2 upgrade" will allow you to play games and watch DVDs in high definition. The Xploder HDTV Player is scheduled to release on September 1st for a projected price of $39.99 (29.99 - United Kingdom).
But how useful will such an attachment be this late in the PS2 lifespan? And how many games will actually look better in high definition, let alone support HD? These and further questions will need to be answered when Fire meets with members of the press, retailers, and distributors during the Games Convention.
Title: DS Adventures Light
Posted: August 06, 2006 (12:46 PM)
Flushing, NY. 101 degrees. 6 hours on Monday.
I just had to go on a shopping spree in the blistering heat. But my adventure was not for naught. I came back with treasures. Many, many treasures.
First Stop: CitiBank
Money is a good thing, especially when it buys things. I had a couple of checks to cash in, so why not kill two movies made by David Boone with one stone (birds are nice, movies made by David Boone are not)? So I walked about a quarter of a mile from my stepmom's clothing store. I wore slippers, a white T-shirt, brown and crackle-printed jeans, and a stylish haircut. Because that's the way I fly.
I made my way up the stairs where all the bank tellers were and I stood in line. For twenty minutes. Yummy. Thankfully, there were idle parents and naughty children around, so I kept myself entertained at the chaos. When it was finally my turn, I walked up to a old, Chinese woman, who had years of bank telling wrinkled into her forehead. I think I exhanged about two words with her, but that was all that was needed. I was done in twenty seconds. Short and sweet. Just like old, Chinese women bank tellers. (And if you think this is a sexual joke, shame on you.)
Second Stop: GameStop.
This was the only gaming retail store in all of Flushing, so why not check this out first before I hack away at all the secret Chinese stores? Wonderful to note, after walking another quarter of a mile, GameStop's air conditioner was broken. How retail store of you.
My first order of business was to wonder around the store as if I was an interested customer and then snatching all of the DS games I could find. I eyed the Nintendo DS Lite boxes with white "New $129.99" stickers all over them, and I drooled over the thought of wrapping my hands over a new console. Someone stole (I lost) my GameBoy in Mexico when I was young, so I was until today, in a state of perpetual mourning. So much drama.
After reeling in copies of Mario Kart DS, Nintendogs: Dashchund and Friends, and Brain Age, I then meandered over to the PS2 section for some more tantalizing flavors. I picked the cherry-flavored Street Fighter Alpha Anniversary and the pomegranate-flavored Ico. Because I like pomegranates. Like a basket of fruit, I lugged the games to the register. And of course, there was bad news. They had run out of Nintendo DS Lite's yesterday. How retail store of you.
Here I was with about a $300 purchase, regretting wearing pants that were tighter than a geisha in this heatwave, and you have the audacity to place Nintendo DS Lite boxes with white "New $129.99" stickers in my immediate vision and tell me that there are none left! Thankfully, the wealth of stupidity, anger, and regret surrounding me only made me laugh.
Ha, ha, ha.
But it seemed that this was just that kind of day, and being the empathizer that I am, I realized that the GameSpot employees were going through the same thing. Except they couldn't leave the store for "enter random store as long as it has air conditioning" pitstops. I found that it was far better to have a conversation with them, then kicking people in the groin. So opening with "I hate you all," I got into a nice talk about various gaming things like when so-and-so was coming out. Eventually, they urged me to go to KBGames just next door, so I had them keep my basket of fruit on hold.
Third Stop: KBGames
This was a quickie. They didn't have any Nintendo DS Lite's, either. Okay, I lied. This wasn't a quickie. They had a working air conditioner. So, I looked around for about ten minutes without really looking around. And then I left.
Fourth Stop: GameSpot
Whatever. Back into the frying pan, I sweated back to the register. And I purchased the PS2 games. But wait! They had a "special" deal. How retail store of you.
I could purchase one more used game (Burnout: Revenge) for free if I got a suscription of Game Informer. It wasn't particularly a bad deal, since I had Game Informer before, and I just didn't get a new suscription while I moved back and forth from college. So I took the deal and left.
Fifth Stop and More: Secret Chinese Combo
My search for a Nintendo DS Lite continues (expect many "went"s). I travelled to Busy Mall, went to the next-to-last store called GameTopia, but it was closed. I then went to Plaza Mall but the gaming store in the basement was gone. I then went to the shopping mall below Hong Kong Supermarket, but the gaming store had turned into a Yu-Gi-Oh! card store. Yay. Finally, I waddled back to my stepmom's shopping store and I checked the last store. And just like the first store in this section of my life, it was closed.
I was heartbroken. I looked at my dwaddling plastic bag, took a few things out, and flipped through a couple of pages of Game Informer. I drank a bottle of Poland Spring. I wandered around the store. Nothing worked. I had to make a last-ditch effort. I had to not be lazy and complain about the heat. So after twenty minutes of rest, I left.
Ninth Stop: Final Chinese Hei-ya!
I remembered a back outlet on Main Street that was about five blocks up. Fighting through the gauntlet of bickering customers, I found my feet red and almost sunburned. But I only remembered the general location of the store. I went on my memories as I shifted through outlet mall through outlet mall, all liitered with Chinese characters, of which I have little understanding. Then I looked up.
There, above the street, was a sign that said "Games". Aha! Hungrily, I rushed into the mall, welcomed by an air-conditioned breeze. The store was on the left-hand-side and was grievously small. Still, shelves of games lined the store as if it was wallpaper and two SNK arcade machines, complete with chairs, sat in front of the store as focal points. A few customers occupied the seats and browsed the store, so it took a while to find my way to the counter.
After asking for a Nintendo DS Lite, the old woman who knew little English called for her daughter. She looked twelve but I guess she was seventeen. Fortunately, she said that there was one left. Horray! Kickflips and energy fireballs!
But there was a catch. I had to buy three games with it and the DS Lite cost $150 instead of $130. After a little bartering, I was able to get it down to $140 dollars with two games, which actually wasn't bad. The store raises the price of its consoles so that it can sell its games at a much lower than retail. Both of the games were five to ten dollars less so the deal broke even.
Good! The happy DS was mine! Tha happy stylus was mine! The happy emergency stylus was mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! I became an annoying kid right away. All maturity - out of the window.
Tenth Stop: GameStop, Again
Well, not really. I actually picked up a bottle of Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo with "More Lather". It was ten bucks, but its cleansing power is spectacular and it doesn't irritate the scalp. Anyway, I didn't get Mario Kart DS in the original deal, so I got it here. Finally, my adventure was over and though I sit here right now, with my feet still healing from the blisters and sunburns, I am trying to teach my Siberian Husky Nintendog to "Beg!"

Verizon Identifies Five Key Business-Tech Trends In 2013 For Enterprises
"Verizon's acquisition of Hughes Telematics will help fuel this evolution," said Small. "In 2013, this dramatic growth will extend to retail, finance and manufacturing."
The ability to collect, store and analyze overwhelming volumes of data will define which enterprises extract the best insights and make the most agile decisions, to their competitive advantage. As a result, all enterprises – both business and government – will need to work with vendors having strong and global ecosystems.
For example, in Charlotte, N.C., Envision Charlotte Smart Energy Now and Smart Water Now projects, a private-public initiative in which Verizon is participating, illustrates the potential of connected machines to better manage critical resources. Verizon is gathering energy and water-usage data from a network of machine-to-machine devices and is transporting near real-time information to kiosks utilizing Verizon's high-speed 4G LTE wireless network.
4. Networks Will Be Smarter Than You and InvisibleAn intelligent fabric that connects everything and everyone will render underlying networks invisible to end users, even as overall IP traffic grows at a compound annual growth rate of 29 percent through 2016, according to the Cisco Visual Networking Index. 4 "Improvements in network reliability and resiliency, coupled with intelligent end points, serve as the foundation for connecting smart machines and smarter people," Small said. "We will see a shift in 2013 to more dynamic networks, pervasive IP connections, and purpose-built networks that serve businesses, consumers and society. "From retail transactions to high speed trading to the digital signs that communicate with us on a daily basis, the network is omnipresent in the background. It continues to grow in importance, as well as just how much we take it for granted." 5. Security is the New Arms Race In 2013, security will move out of the specialist realm and become a mainstream IT must-have. Security breaches span access, infrastructure and apps. They happen on fixed and mobile networks. They impact physical, intellectual and financial capital. And the scope is global, according to the "Verizon 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report." 5 "We expect identity security to be a much more prevalent issue in 2013," Small said. "Two-factor authentication is already gaining adherents, but it won't be enough to counteract the increasing amount and intensity of criminal activity pursuing both intellectual property and financial gain."

The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy.Bob Schieffer
If most American cities are about the consumption of culture, Los Angeles and New York are about the production of culture - not only national culture but global culture.Barbara Kruger
The culture now in television is that the presenter calls the financial and, increasingly, the creative shots. It is comparable to what happened in Hollywood 15 or so years ago.Terry Wogan
A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.Abraham Joshua Heschel
A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.Beverly Sills
...a victim of bad medicine, bad air, bad food, farcical education, a despicable popular culture.Anthony Burgess
In the fledgling days of the town, the notorious Block 16 was set aside for card games and prostitution. Sin and commerce have marched hand-in-hand ever since, but this alliance made Las Vegas no more atypical than any other American city of the time. The difference is that Las Vegas extolled with pride what other places sought to hide. To the commonplace culture of heavily populated cities and industrial towns that made up the urban fabric of the country, Las Vegas alone stood as the behavioral "Other," a land where the "victimless" crimes of sex, drink, and gambling were not only condoned, but celebrated.MARK GOTTDIENER
Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life -- its material plenitude, its sheer crowdedness -- conjoin to dull our sensory faculties.Susan Sontag
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.Marcus Garvey
Never tire yourself more than necessary, even if you have to found a culture on the fatigue of your bones.Antonin Artaud
A culture without property, or in which creators can't get paid, is anarchy, not freedom.Lawrence Lessig
Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.Vladimir Putin
There has been a lot said about the sacredness of our land which is our body; and the values of our culture which is our soul; but water is the blood of our tribes, and if its life-giving flow is stopped, or it is polluted, all else will die and the many thousands of years of our communal existence will come to an end.Frank Tenorio
Everyone understands that water is essential to life. But many are only just now beginning to grasp how essential it is to everything in life � food, energy, transportation, nature, leisure, identity, culture, social norms, and virtually all the products used on a daily basis.World Business Council for Sustainable Development
The tendency of aggression is an innate, independent, instinctual disposition in man...it constitutes the most powerful obstacle to culture.Sigmund Freud
America is not just a democracy, it represents a certain culture of competitive mobility and personality aspirations, politics is not merely a clash of interests, but a clash of dreams.David Brooks
Considered now as a possession, one may define culture as the residuum of a large body of useless knowledge that has been well and truly forgotten.Albert J. Nock
WOMEN preserve the culture of this country with greater tenacity and faith. They keep men on the moral path and inspire them to follow spiritual discipline. Their hearts are tender and full of compassion for the hungry and the distressed. That is why in this land, women are adored and revered.Sri Sathya Sai Baba
A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.Mohandas Gandhi
The welfare culture tells the man he is not a necessary part of the family; he feels dispensable, his wife knows he is dispensable, his children sense it.George Gilder
Terrorism is a weapons system, ... From time immemorial it has been the weapon of the weak against the strong. The real war on terror is about culture, ideas and perceptions as much as roadside bombs and suicide bombs.Arnaud de Borchgrave
The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men but rather their conqueror, an outlaw who controls the sexual channel between nature and culture.Camille Paglia

I will pray for safe travel and be jealous that I can't go--it'd be fun bummin' Europe with my little brother...

The forthcoming Disney Sleeping Beauty-from-the-evil-sorceress'-point-of-view flick Maleficent features a new Lana Del Ray track, "Once Upon A Dream." It's the film's "title" track — a cover of a song from the classic Disney animated Sleeping Beauty — and LDR was reportedly hand-picked for the job by Maleficent star Angelina Jolie. The track just debuted in an ad aired during the Grammy broadcast, and Lana's version is the sort of swoony, spaced-out ballad on which she has made her name. You can hear it and watch the trailer below.
"Once Upon A Dream" is currently free on Google Play.

Dolpi sunglasses are a product of this incredible landscape in one of the most beautiful corners of the planet.
For the Dolpi brand, the environment is extremely important. It is the first brand of sunglasses that has acquired the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certificate, so that the customer can be sure that their wooden glasses are made in a way that both respects the environment and is sustainable for forest management.

This option allows exclusive use of the entire facility and is recommended for parties that will need more space and setup time than the Banyan Room option allows. There will be no other private events scheduled at the time of your event. The only exceptions are garden-sponsored events, which will be scheduled prior to your event start time listed on the contract. The lessee will have the option to begin setup as early as 9 a.m. on the date of the event. However, the breakdown time-limit of two hours after the event remains the same as rental of the Banyan Room option.
The price reflects a four-hour rental. In addition to exclusivity, twelve 60" round tables, twelve 8' rectangular banquet tables, 200 white resin padded chairs, and a catering kitchen are included as well.
- Rental fee--$4,500 based on a four-hour event

Un.Bend 42 42
Good, comfortable shoe I like these shoes a lot. They are flexible. Dressy enough to wear to work in a casual dress environment, but also appropriate for being out and about after work hours. December 10, 2014
great shoe Fit was great. Very comfortable when standing all day. Am considering buying in another color. September 2, 2014
very comfortable casual More casual, but more rugged for outdoor, sidewalks, etc. Not hiking. August 20, 2014
This was a great choice If you are on your feet most of the day; this is the shoe for you. I find it very comfortable and stylish. It goes great with dockers and jeans. You won't be disappointed! October 3, 2014
Purchase from customer service Nicole was a pleasure. The shoes arrived very promptly and were exactly as sought. We will purchase again similarly. After years of use of a pair of Clark's Un.bend, my male-friend (too old to be boy friend) sought to get a new pair to wear to his job so he could retire the old pair to weekend use in the garden and yard. The store from which he'd purchased the first pair had closed, and no merchant in the area sold the Unstructured line of Clark's shoes. I contacted Nicole of Customer Service on the Clark's website, and she was enormously helpful and patient. The shoes arrived very promptly, and the shoe and the fit were "right on." The new shoes go to work daily, and the old shoes make my friend's feet happy gardening, seeding and watering the lawn, cutting trees in the woods. We are satisfied customers and will repeat the performance. September 29, 2014
Creaky Comfort These are my second pair and they have the best fit and great comfort. They do creak when I walk especially on hard and smooth surfaces. August 12, 2014
Tested on the hills of San Francisco this shoe was recommended by my Doctor at Kaiser and thank you Doc. I weighed 310 when I bought the shoe and wore it down to many pounds lost from the wonderful SF hills. The shoe helped support and balance my weight. I highly recommend this particular model of Clark for heavy men who want to walk. I bought the shoe in 2008 in Clarke store in San Jose., California and still use it today 2014, but I'm certain to have exceeded the life limits of the shoe. September 11, 2014
Way too expensive for what you get. Made in China..and costs$150.00. I expected something really really great. I bought Clarke on recommendation from my doctor, of being the most comfortable shoes made. I have foot pain/problems and expected they would eliminate or greatly reduce the pain I experience when walking. Not so. Barely better than shoes I already owned. August 22, 2014
poor shoes This shoes have rubbed my heels raw. The only way I can them is with Band-Aids . July 26, 2014
Great as expected Bought just before long trip, no break-in required, perfect fit and comfort as expected from Clark. I retired previous un-structured lace-up pair that were quite old. The new pair was once again a good fit, light and comfortable as tennis shoes. I have tried other brands, always come back to Clark, most reliable and durable of the options in the marketplace. May 30, 2014
Neat feet I happen to have a rather unusual foot. When buying shoes in the past I often felt I should wear the box the shoes came in. With my new shoes I no longer need the boxes. I love them! This is my second pair. May 13, 2014
Comfortable and lightweight This shoe is a must have if you walk or work on concrete floors all day. Its the most comfortable show I own and its super lightweight. I highly recommend this shoe. April 15, 2014
Shoes squeak after 2 weeks of wearing them The left shoe for some reason has started making a weird squeaking sound that is annoying. I will try to exchange them at the local store. It's embarrassing. March 28, 2014
comfort, looks, and durability all rolled into one! I have been hooked on Clarks Unstructured shoes since I bought my first (and still wearable, after seven years of daily use, winter and summer!) pair, serendipitously, on clearance. That first pair was a pair of boat shoes, and they were stylish, unbelievably comfortable, durable, and appreciated. With this new pair of un.Bend oxfords, I now have a pair of shoes that will be dress-shoe quality while providing the same durability and comfort of my old, reliable boat shoes! I love them already, and with them I am experiencing the quality and comfort that I have come to count on from all my pairs of Clarks shoes! March 11, 2014
Very comfortable shoe right out of the box! My husband was looking for new shoes, and I advised him that Clarks were the first shoe brand that I ever purchased that were ALWAYS comfortable....right out of the box! So we purchased this shoe and he agreed! Very comfortable...and I quote "the most comfortable shoe that I have ever worn!" Yay! a homerun for sure! April 9, 2014

Nigeria: Ekiti Deputy Speaker is dead
The 39-year old Deputy Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Saliu Adeoti, is dead. Mr. Adeoti died at about 8.30am yesterday at the University Teaching Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, after a protracted illness.
The deceased, according to the Ekiti State government, would be buried today, October 28, 2010, in his country home, Otun Ekiti, in accordance with Islamic injunction, after which the 8-day Fidau Prayer will be held next Wednesday.
The former Deputy Speaker, who lost his wife in February in the same circumstance, was said to have been rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, when it was discovered that his health was fast degenerating.
The 39-year old former Deputy Speaker, who was the acting Speaker during the 79-day administration of Tunji Odeyemi as the acting governor of the State, hailed from Otun Ekiti in Moba local government area of the state.
He graduated from the defunct Ondo State University (OSUA), now University of Ado Ekiti (UNAD) in 1999, with a bachelors degree in Political Science Education (BSc.Ed) and was elected in 2007 on the platform of the Action Congress (AC) to represent Moba Constituency 1 in the State House of Assembly.
His appointment was necessitated following the sharing of political positions between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and his party in the Assembly, due to the 13/13 equal strength of the two political parties in the House.
The state government, Speaker of the House, Mr. Odeyemi, the PDP, and the Action Congress of Nigeria, have expressed regret over the loss of the politician, who until his death, remained a vibrant member of the Assembly.
In a statement signed by the senior special assistant to Governor Kayode Fayemi on media, Mojeed Jamiu, the deceased death was described as shocking to the state government. The statement prayed for the repose of the deceased's spirit and prayed God to give his family the courage to bear the loss.
In a statement signed by its director of communications and strategy, Jackson Adebayo, of the state chapter of the PDP, sympathized with the Oore of Mobaland, Oba Adedapo Popoola, Adeoti's family, and the entire Ekiti populace, over the demise of the former Assembly member.
The chairman of the ACN in the state, Jide Awe, described the deceased as a dependable political ally, praising him for his steadfastness, competence, and political sagacity during his life time.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ten major banks and mortgage companies have agreed to pay $8.5 billion to settle complaints that they wrongfully foreclosed on homeowners who should have been allowed to stay in their homes.
Federal Regulators say the banks will pay billions to homeowners to end a review process of foreclosure files that was required under a 2011 enforcement action. The banks mishandled people's paperwork and skipped required steps in the foreclosure process.
Under the settlement, people who were wrongfully foreclosed on could receive from a few hundred dollars up to $125,000.
Advocates estimate that about 400,000 homeowners would be eligible for compensation under the settlement with the Federal Reserve and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Banks involved in the settlement include Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

Vajikarana Therapy for diabetic patients
According to WHO standards the average volume of semen produced at ejaculation is 2ml to 5ml. The condition hypospermia occurs when semen volume is constantly less than 1.5ml .This may be due to frequent ejaculations. Blockage, retrograde ejaculation or low level of testosterone can also cause hypospermia. If volume of semen is persistently more than 5.5ml, the condition is known as hyperspermia and may occur after prolonged abstinence.
The semen consists of secretions from glands of reproductive system. The ejaculate consists of secretions from testicles, epididymes, seminal vesicles, prostate glands, bulbourethral glands and urethral glands. Seminal vesicles contribute 50 to 75% of the secretion. Testicles, epididymes, Bulbourethral and urethral glands contribute around 5 to 10 %.Secretions from prostate gland will be 20 to 30 %.
Secretions from Seminal Vesicles:
Secretions from seminal vesicles constitute major portion of semen and are rich in fructose (simple sugar). Fructose is an essential nutrient which nourishes spermatozoa. The secretions of seminal vesicle contain a substance which helps in clotting of semen after ejaculation.
Secretions from Prostate gland:
The secretions from prostate gland contain various chemicals and enzymes. The enzyme Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is very important. This acts as a catalyst in a biochemical reaction which causes liquefaction of clotted semen.
Secretions from Bulbourethral and urethral glands:
The secretions of these glands lubricate the male reproductive tract. In some men secretions may contain anti sperm antibodies which harm motility of sperms and prevent sperms from fertilizing egg. This can affect fertility of men.
Semen Volume Ayurvedic View:
According to principles of ayurveda, the semen is visible part of "Shukra dhatu". Physiology of ayurveda mentions existence of seven dhatus or vital tissues in human body. Shukra dhatu is listed as seventh tissue.
Tridoshas (vata, pitta and kapha) which
reside in these dhatus control all the activities of these vital tissues. But
tridoshas should be in balanced condition to help dhatus to carryout their
normal functions.
The shukra dhatu gets vitiated when balance of tridoshas residing in it get disturbed. This affects volume of semen to cause abnormal increase or decrease. The volume of semen decreases, when vitiation of vata is more. The reason being, vata causes dryness in tissues. When kapha dosha gets vitiated the volume of semen increases abnormally ,as kapha causes unusual increase of moisture level in tissues.
A reduction in physiological functions of dhatus occurs when body is poorly nourished. Thus volume of semen reduces when male reproductive system is under nourished. Ayurveda acharyas recommend Vajikarana preparations and aphrodisiac herbs to nourish male reproductive system. These herbs and preparations not only supply important nutrients to shukra dhatu but also normalize imbalanced doshas. This complete process is known as Vajikarana therapy. Vajikarana therapy helps to produce healthy semen containing healthy sperms.
