3 new cases of West Nile virus in Louisiana
Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals reports three new West Nile virus cases, all of them flu-like West Nile fever.
A news release Friday said diagnoses in Ascension, Lafayette and Ouachita parishes bring the year's total to 58 cases.
While most people never have any symptoms, about 10 percent get West Nile fever and some get infections of the brain or spinal cord, which can lead to brain damage, paralysis and death. Louisiana has had 34 such neuroinvasive cases, four of them fatal. Twenty people had West Nile fever and four had no symptoms.
DHH warns that mosquitoes, which spread the virus, are still a threat despite cooler temperatures. It recommends precautions such as using insect repellents outside and making sure window and door screens are intact.

Cortex headset lets you choose between an AR or VR reality
Reality is looking pretty mundane these days. There's Google Glass, the original augmented reality (AR) headset concept and Oculus Rift, the poster child for virtual reality's (VR) comeback. Since then, an ever-growing number of headsets have snuck out of the woodwork, making us feel that whatever reality we choose to exist in, the un-modded version just won't do.
Usually, now is right about the time that we'd start going on about the myriad differences between AR and VR and the headsets that represent each. A new headset, still in development from Sulon Technologies, is about to make that entire conversation a moot point, however. The Cortex is at once an AR headset and a VR gaming rig. Simply strap this sizable headset to your face and you'll have entered what might be the most mind-bending sort of reality we've yet to see. It is at once reality and not, AR and VR, and entirely new.
Basically what the Cortex does is put you (and any of your friends with a headset of their own) in a VR environment, but the environment it puts you in can both be informed by and based on your actual surroundings. A camera mounted on the front of the headset collects visual data from your surroundings, feeds it to your 3D screens, and you see what is ostensibly a video of your apartment. But it isn't your apartment anymore —not really. At any time, VR creatures and constructs can be overlayed on top of your surroundings. Alien creatures can run around on your own floor, nipping at your heels.
But that's not the end of the Cortex's capabilities. Step through a portal and your AR apartment vanishes, only to be replaced by an entirely VR landscape. Here, nothing resembles the surroundings you are used to — yet your headset is still using data from your surroundings to create it. Where your living room's walls are, there are walls in-game, so you can forget about the need for a VR treadmill or tethering yourself to the center of the room.
The Cortex is still very much in development, but where it's going is a sort of reality that will have you jumping at shadows and scrounging for blaster ammo even when you've taken the headset off. If that sounds beyond amazing to you, then the good news is that you can already sign up for a dev kit version of the Cortex, due to be delivered by the end of the year. It'll cost you $500, and do bear in mind that both the hardware and software sides of this AR/VR monster still need tweaking, but you'll be getting two realities in one — both of which might be more exciting than the place beyond your door.

You can use the Mail Merge task pane to create a group fax distribution.
Note The Faxes option is not available in the Mail Merge task pane unless faxing support is installed, including the following:
For more information, see your fax software documentation.
The active document becomes the main document (main document: In a mail-merge operation in Word, the document that contains the text and graphics that are the same for each version of the merged document, for example, the return address or salutation in a form letter.).
If you're familiar with the mail merge feature or prefer to work outside the task pane, you can use the Mail Merge toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.). The buttons are arranged in sequence from left to right.
The task pane guides you through the rest of the mail merge process. The following are more details, listed in step-by-step order.
Set up and display your fax
Start with the document currently shown in the document window
You can then either type the text in the document window, or wait until the task pane prompts you to do so in a subsequent step.
Start with a template
Start with any other existing document
If you don't see the document, click More files, and then click Open. In the Open dialog box, locate the document you want, and then click Open.
Locate or create a data source, and then select recipients
Connect to a Microsoft Outlook Contacts List
All of the contacts in the folder appear in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, where you can refine the list of recipients to include in the merge.
Connect to a different type of list, such as a database or Office Address List
By default, Microsoft Word opens the My Data Sources folder.
Depending on the type of data source you select, other dialog boxes may appear asking you to provide specific information.
For example, if your data source is a Microsoft Excel workbook that has information on multiple worksheets, you need to select the worksheet containing the information you want, and then click OK.
All of the entries in the data source appear in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, where you can refine the list of recipients to include in the merge.
Create a simple new address list
By default, the address list is saved in the My Data Sources folder. It's best to keep the address list here because this is also the default folder in which Microsoft Word looks for data sources (data source: A file that contains the information to be merged into a document. For example, the list of names and addresses you want to use in a mail merge. You must connect to the data source before you can use the information in it.). So if you want to use this address list in a later mail merge, you won't have to navigate through files and folders to locate it.
All of the entries in your new list appear in the Mail Merge Recipients dialog box, where you can refine the list of recipients to include in the merge.
Use the check boxes to designate recipients
This method is most useful if your list is short.
If you know you want to include most of the list in your merge, clicking Select All first makes it easy to clear particular records. Similarly, if you want to include only a few records in the list, click Clear All, and then select the records you want.
Sort items in the list
This is useful if you want to see items in alphabetical or numeric order.
Filter items in the list
This is useful if the list contains records that you know you don't want to see or include in the merge. Once you've filtered the list, you can use the check boxes to include and exclude records as described in the previous section.
The Mail Merge Recipients dialog box displays only the designated records. To display all the records again, click (All).
Compose your fax
Address block with name, address, and other information
Greeting line
Other fields of information
Note If you insert a field from the Database Fields list and then later switch to a data source that doesn't have a column with the same name, Word won't be able to insert that field information into the merged document.
To format merged data, you must format the merge fields (merge field: A placeholder that you insert in the main document. For example, insert the merge field <City> to have Word insert a city name, such as "Paris," that's stored in the City data field.) in the main document. Don't format the data in the data source (data source: A file that contains the information to be merged into a document. For example, the list of names and addresses you want to use in a mail merge. You must connect to the data source before you can use the information in it.), because its formatting isn't retained when you merge the data into the document.
Formatting by using field codes
To control other aspects of formatting, press ALT+F9 to display field codes (field code: Placeholder text that shows where specified information from your data source will appear; the elements in a field that generate a field's result. The field code includes the field characters, field type, and instructions.), and then add switches (switch: When working with fields, a special instruction that causes a specific action to occur. Generally, a switch is added to a field to modify a result.) to the merge fields.
For example:
Preview the faxes and fine-tune the recipient list
Print or send the fax
Do one of the following:
Print the faxes to send by using a fax machine
If you personalized the items and the merged document is active
If you want to print directly from the Mail Merge task pane
Send the faxes from within the task pane

The American I HAve Seen-By Sayed Qutb
ROL!! Read Out Loud
The America I Have Seen (1951)
by Syed Qutb
Qutb's thoughts on American culture are fascinating. As this article was written for a magazine, Qutb candidly describes encounters he had throughout his time in Greeley, Colorado that provide great insight into how he formed his opinions of the West, and the United States in particular.
The culture clash is very evident in Qutb's writings. His descriptions of Americans are greedy and animalistic are easily explained by his reactions to things such as his views of science as a substitute for religion and the game of football. I particularly liked his commentaries about football. The way he describes the sport certainly does make it seem absurd...
I also thought his writings about churches was interesting. The fact that he joined a church because "it was an important part of the culture" was intriguing. I thought his comments on the priest were very entertaining. There are certainly clear differences between the American church and the mosques in Egypt. Here, the separation of church and state seems to cause many problems for him, as the churches need to "sell themselves" in order to gain the more members than other churches in the area.
Overall, Qutb's writings provide an outsiders prospective on American culture, that show why he has such a violent reaction against the West.

Re: The American I HAve Seen-By Sayed Qutb
Salam Alaykum
Qutb's view of America is crude, bigoted, self-serving and filled with factual errors. He condems Americans as one entire people. Like everywhere, there are good and bad. I've lived in America for 5 years and also studied here. Some of the best people Ive ever met have been Americans. Qutb condems Americans for being a brutal, primitive, violent people, and gives evidence of wars and conflicts. But the same can be said equally of lots of countries, if not most. Most of Africa, many Arab states and many European ones. He also condems America for being spiritually empty and to have contributed nothing to human value. He obviously misunderstands the nature of the American ideal. Whether we agree with the American ideal or not, it is a moral ideal - it is based on a profound respect for the individual, and his or her right to determine the nature of his or her own life. Part of the practice of that, unfortunately, is that some don't always choose the best life, but even so, they are still responsible for their mistakes and moral failings. At least it is their own errors flowing from their own free decisions. That's the only moral basis for real individual accountability. Without such freedom of moral choice, we cannot be held responsible. Freedom and responsibility go together in the American vision. I may find many things distasteful about other people's lives and choices, but that doesnt give me the right to impose my own moral vision upon them. This moral ideal arose out of British and French and European political and moral philosophy of the Enlightenment period, and was transported to the US in its foundings. It has a long history and arose out of a rejection of the bigotry and conflict that surrounded the European Religious Wars. He says that America is without religion. You will find almost every religion under the sun being practised in some place in America, and they each have the protection of the law to freely practise, unlike in many other countries in the world. Again, he says America is lacking in contribution to human value. Has he read the philosophical works of John Dewey or Tom Paine, the literature of Henry James or Hemingway, the poetry of TS Eliot or Edgar Allen Poe? Obviously no. We have to be more sophisticated as Muslims. I read Tariq Ramadan over the likes of Qutb anyday

Jeff Henderson came back for Session 2 of our Business Breakfast series: PRIMED. This series is all about giving you tools be a better presenter.
Jeff said, "Our goal is to help your next presentation become your best presentation."
In this session, Jeff focused primarily on delivery preparation. "Think of your presentation like a movie," he said. "Presentations are won or lost in transitions…Design the message before delivering the message."
To design your presentation, try viewing it in these 3 boxes:
When crafting Box 1, simply tell a story.
For Box 2, introduce your new product or give your persuasive idea.
You should spend the least amount of time on Box 3. This is when you give a simple action step or take-away principle. HASHTAG-IZATION is the idea. Ask yourself, "What is the one quotable moment of my presentation?"
Jeff gave the example of Steve Jobs first introducing the iPod. Rather than hitting audiences with loads of technical jargon, Jobs described the iPod as "1,000 songs in your pocket." So naturally, the next morning, headlines read "1,000 Songs in Your Pocket."
This was the quotable moment that people remembered.
As one last guideline, Jeff introduced us to the 4 Types of Presenters. More than likely, you fit into one of these presenter categories.
- Teacher
- Motivator
- Storyteller
- Visionary
By knowing your tendencies with one of these presenter types, you can know how to balance your delivery. If your tendency is to teach, be sure you are still connecting with your audience and motivating them to take action. If you're a storyteller, make sure you have a point and vision of where you're taking the audience.
There's still more to cover, so Jeff will be back for Session 3 on September 27!

$15.8 Billion In Mortgage Relief To 164,000 Bank Of America Customers Delivered Through National Mortgage Settlement
Currently, Bank of America is reducing the interest rate on qualifying loans to 4.25 percent. The individual modified rate will be offered on the basis of market rates in effect at the time the homeowner's eligibility is confirmed. Bank of America estimates that eligible customers will realize nearly a 2 percent average reduction in rate, which may provide hundreds of dollars in savings on their monthly mortgage payments, depending on their principal balance and loan terms. The interest rate reduction program is available on loans that are both owned and serviced by Bank of America and meet certain other criteria.
Short sales and deeds-in-lieu
While Bank of America's first goal is to keep customers in their homes, transition becomes the inevitable or chosen route for some customers. In these cases, Bank of America encourages consideration of a short sale or deed-in-lieu as alternatives to foreclosure because they are less disruptive for the borrower, have less negative impact on credit reporting and can benefit local housing market conditions.
Borrowers completing short sales or deeds-in-lieu may receive additional relief under the settlement through enhanced relocation assistance payments above $1,500 and permanent waivers of the deficiency amount.Servicing standards More than 300 servicing standards were established in the settlement, covering loss mitigation, foreclosure and bankruptcy documentation and processes; third-party vendor oversight; restrictions on dual-tracking, and requiring a single point of contact, among other categories. Bank of America is in compliance with the requirements of all of the servicing standards. Bank of America Bank of America is one of the world's largest financial institutions, serving individual consumers, small- and middle-market businesses and large corporations with a full range of banking, investing, asset management and other financial and risk management products and services. The company provides unmatched convenience in the United States, serving more than 55 million consumer and small business relationships with approximately 5,500 retail banking offices and approximately 16,300 ATMs and award-winning online banking with 30 million active users.

China Launches WTO Case Against EU Solar Subsidies
BEIJING (AP) â¿¿ China has filed a World Trade Organization case challenging subsidies provided by some European Union members to promote the solar panel industry, adding to its trade disputes with Europe and the United States.
Commerce Ministry spokesman Shen Danyang said China is requesting a consultation at the WTO. It is accusing some EU countries of providing subsidies for power generated by solar facilities in which the main components are made in European countries.
Shen said such subsidies "seriously damaged China's photovoltaic exports."
The statement issued Monday did not name the countries targeted in the WTO case, but the official Xinhua News Agency cited a Commerce Ministry official as saying that Italy and Greece subsidize projects that use EU-produced solar equipment.The case follows an anti-dumping probe Beijing announced last week into European exports of polysilicon used in making solar panels, and the EU earlier began investigating whether Beijing was improperly subsidizing exports of solar panels. China and its trading partners pledged after the 2008 global financial crisis to avoid taking actions that would hamper trade but have launched a series of anti-subsidy investigations and imposed punitive tariffs on some goods. Solar and other renewable energy technology is especially sensitive because governments that are under pressure to cut high unemployment see it as a growth industry and source of well-paid jobs. On Wednesday, the U.S. International Trade Commission is to vote on whether Chinese trade practices have injured the U.S. solar industry. It's the final hurdle in a more than yearlong effort by the U.S. to impose steep tariffs on Chinese solar panels. Washington imposed tariffs of up to 250 percent on imports of Chinese-made solar panels this year to counter what it said was improper subsidies to the industry, but those tariffs aren't finalized unless the ITC votes to find harm to the U.S. industry.

The Program on Forced Migration and Health at Columbia University is committed to improving the health and well-being of people affected by conflict and forced migration.
Following the 1994 Rwandan genocide, leaders in the humanitarian community recognized an acute need for the training and professionalization of humanitarian aid workers to ensure more effective, informed, and consistent response to future crises. In response, the Mellon Foundation funded the establishment of Columbia University's Program on Forced Migration and Health in 1998 to begin training the next generation of refugee health and humanitarian response workers. The Program on Forced Migration and Health has since grown into one of the world's leading centers on humanitarian research and teaching, and has helped to build a knowledge base that is improving humanitarian action and health during global disasters and conflicts. Our 300+ graduates have worked in over 70 countries and with dozens of organizations.
Students in the Program on Forced Migration and Health work towards a Master in Public Health (MPH) degree through Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health with a required Certificate in Public Health and Humanitarian Assistance (PHHA) . This two-year course of study offers 13 courses designed specifically for humanitarian workers, taught by experts who have spent years in the field responding to emergencies. Students also complete a 2-month skills-based practicum in a humanitarian setting.
Our classes provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for research, implementation, and evaluation of humanitarian programming. Students will learn to improve the delivery of food and nutrition, water and sanitation, reproductive health, child protection and survival, control of communicable diseases, mental health, and human rights monitoring and programming duringcomplex emergencies.

However, while the Community Trade Mark Regulation allows companies to register the shape of their goods and packaging, there are certain safeguards which e.g. prevent companies obtaining a monopoly on technical solutions or functional characteristics of their products...

Elective C-section linked to infant respiratory problems.
That finding--from a Danish cohort study of 34,458 singleton deliveries--suggests that elective C-section should wait until after the 39th week, the study investigators wrote online in BMJ.
"Carrying out elective caesarean sections at greater gestational ages may, however, result in higher rates of intrapartum caesarean sections because some women would go into spontaneous labour (in our population, 25% of spontaneous intended vaginal deliveries started before 39 weeks' gestation)," wrote Anne Kirkeby Hansen of the Aarhus (Denmark) University Hospital and associates.
"Compared with elective caesarean sections, intrapartum caesarean sections may carry an increased risk of complications such as uterine rupture in women with previous caesarean section, infections, or even maternal mortality,"
The risk of respiratory morbidity (transitory tachypnea tachypnea /tach·yp·nea/ (tak?ip-ne´ah) very rapid respiration.
Rapid breathing. Also called polypnea. of the newborn, respiratory distress syndrome respiratory distress syndrome
or hyaline membrane disease
Common complication in newborns, especially after premature birth. Symptoms include very laboured breathing, bluish skin tinge, and low blood oxygen levels. , persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn) was increased in babies delivered by elective C-section at 37 weeks (odds ratio 3.9), 38 weeks (OR 3.0), and 39 weeks (OR 1.9), compared with newborns intended for vaginal delivery.
Risk was not increased at 40 weeks (OR 0.9).
The data were adjusted for factors such as smoking and parity, the study authors reported (doi:10. 1136/bmj. 39405. 539282.BE).
The analysis included all liveborn singletons born without malformation malformation /mal·for·ma·tion/ (-for-ma´shun)
1. a type of anomaly.
2. a morphologic defect of an organ or larger region of the body, resulting from an intrinsically abnormal developmental process. between 37 and 41 weeks' gestation at one institution between 1998 and 2006.
In all, 2,687 liveborn babies were delivered by elective C-section and 2,877 were delivered by emergency C-section. The remaining babies were born vaginally.
A total of 1.8% of all babies had a respiratory problem, with 0.2% of them having serious respiratory morbidity (a condition requiring treatment for at least 3 days with continuous oxygen supplementation, nasal continuous positive airway pressure continuous positive airway pressure
Abbr. CPAP A technique of respiratory therapy for individuals breathing with or without mechanical assistance in which airway pressure is maintained above atmospheric pressure throughout the , or any period of mechanical ventilation).
The relative risk for serious respiratory morbidity was increased in those delivered by elective C-section at 37 weeks (OR 5.0) and 38 weeks (OR 4.2), compared with intended vaginal delivery.
At 39 weeks, the odds ratio was 2.4, but this increase in risk was not statistically significant.
The authors said hormones released during normal vaginal delivery may help prevent respiratory problems.
Catecholamines Catecholamines

Cypress Reports Second-Quarter 2013 Results
+ Cypress released four new PSoC Components™ for PSoC Creator™ 2.2, the Integrated Design Environment (IDE) that supports PSoC products. PSoC Components are production-ready "virtual chips" that replace and integrate multiple competitor chips onto a single PSoC to create highly customized single-chip system solutions for a broad array of applications, from the Tesla automotive dashboard to smart residential power meters to cell phone touchscreens.
+ Customer demand for Cypress's new TrueTouch Gen5 touchscreen controllers has exceeded expectations, in part due to its industry-leading noise immunity. Noise from cell phone chargers can render mobile phones inoperable during charging. Gen5 offers a 3x improvement in noise immunity versus Gen4, which itself offered best-in-class performance.
+ Cypress introduced new features in its TrueTouch Gen4 capacitive touchscreen controller family, including the industry's best tracking of gloved fingers. The Gen4 solution automatically switches into glove-mode based on the touch of a gloved finger, as compared with competitive solutions that require users to remove their gloves and change their smartphones' settings in order to enable gloved touches. The family also delivers passive stylus support to capture handwriting and signatures accurately, and proximity detection that can eliminate false touches such as those caused by a user's face when making a call on a mobile phone.
+ Cypress expanded its market-leading USB product portfolio with a USB-Serial bridge controller family. The family is the industry's first to provide CapSense ® capacitive touch-sensing functionality along with two serial channels with configurable UART/SPI/I 2C communication capability. The family is also the first to integrate efficient battery-charge detection compliant with Version 1.2 of the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) battery charging specification.+ Cypress qualified a Bluetooth ® Low Energy radio on its S8™ 130-nanometer flash-based SONOS process technology to combine with its PSoC, CapSense and TrueTouch technologies, allowing the company to move forward with single-chip solutions for emerging Bluetooth Smart applications such as PC peripherals, sporting goods and fitness devices, healthcare equipment and smart remote controls. + Cypress announced that its Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share, payable to holders of record of the company's common stock as of the close of business on June 27, 2013. This dividend will be paid on July 18, 2013.

10 Red Hairstyles We Love
From luscious strawberry blonde curls to a ravishing copper ponytail, theres nothing quite as striking as a classic red hairstyle. Whether youre pumped for an upcoming salon appointment or eager to experiment with a new 'do at home, get inspired by 10 gorgeous hairstyles from our favorite redheads.
By Kim Peiffer
Isla Fishers Sleek Strands
To recreate Fisher's hair, ask for a smooth, half up/half down style at the salon. You can also try it at home. Start by applying a smoothing cream on damp hair and blow dry using a paddle brush. "If you are great at blow drying, use a large, rounded brush with vents and pull each section from the root as you dry to ensure a smooth finish. Then you can skip the flat-ironing part," says Stuart. Otherwise, gather strands at the crown, brush back that section, and secure with a barrette or bobby pins. Use the tail of a comb to define your part and lift the gathered section. Spritz with a light hair spray before using a flat iron to finish it off.

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. (Ventana), a member of the Roche Group, is introducing a first-of-its-kind fully-automated staining technique that will allow researchers to examine miRNAs and proteins related to cancer in the same section of tumor tissue. Detecting miRNAs and proteins together, in the context of the tumor microenvironment, allows researchers to visualize the association of oncogenic protein expression to those miRNAs involved in the regulation of the mRNA species responsible for protein production. This is exciting news for researchers who have been studying how this relationship plays a role in driving tumor cell growth in many tumor types including breast, lung, prostate and colorectal cancers.
Dr. Thomas Grogan, M.D., pioneering pathologist and founder of Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., is highly optimistic about the promise of this technique. "With this exciting technical breakthrough, we can now judge with a standard light microscope the link between miRNA and associated proteins in full cellular context. It will now reveal matters like message/protein dysfunction and heterogeneity. This then will add greatly to our understanding of the mechanisms of cancer biology and help direct new better informed targeted therapies."
James W. Welsh, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Radiology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, believes this new technology could eventually work as a companion diagnostic tool for future miRNA pathway targeting drugs. "For the first time, using this technique, researchers will be able to observe the relationships between specific miRNAs and their known oncogenic protein targets," says Dr. Welsh. "In lung cancer, we've begun to identify pairs of miRNAs and proteins that we believe play a role in treatment resistance and metastasis; utilizing this new protocol will hopefully allow us to better und

Optimism About iPhone 4S Today After Tuesday's Backlash
Mourning the death of Steve Jobs continues. Despite or even because of that, some are predicting that the iPhone 4S will be a hit after all.
It seems long ago and far away, but it was only Tuesday when Tim Cook had his much-criticized press event to introduce the iPhone 4S, which was an upgrade to the previous iteration rather than the much-anticipated iPhone 5. Fans were angered, the stock market reacted negatively, overall, it wasn't a good scene.
Fast-forward to today and pre-orders of those phones are starting. One analyst tells Reuters that there will be "some sentiment-related purchases." Another says, "over the long run the products will stand on their merit." Yesterday as we walked past the Apple store across from NYC's Plaza Hotel, a gaggle of people were snapping photos (many with iPhones) of a memorial to Jobs. Maybe 15 feet away, a young man sat in a lawn chair, covered with a blanket, holding a sign announcing that he was on line for an iPhone.

Assemblyman James N. Tedisco (R,I,C-Schenectady/Saratoga) today urged Governor Paterson to delegate his governing duties, primarily budgeting, to Lieutenant Governor Richard Ravitch. At last Friday's highly anticipated press conference, Paterson announced that he will not run for re-election following an investigation into his administration's conduct and possible interference in a staffer's domestic violence case. Tedisco said that the situation has placed Paterson and New York State in a unique quandary, and that Ravitch could most effectively lead state government at this time.
"If Eliot Spitzer was the irresponsible governor, and Paterson is the accidental governor, it is probably safe to say that Ravitch would be the reluctant governor," said Tedisco. "The state faces a $9 billion budget deficit and supposed 'leaders' in state government – the governor, assembly speaker, and senate majority leader – have yet to begin negotiating a budget that is due in one month. To say that we are in the center of a fiscal tsunami is understating the seriousness of New York's budget dilemma."
"It would be best for New York to avoid the ethical cloud and media circus surrounding Governor Paterson in the coming budget negotiations," Tedisco said. "In addition, Ravitch is no stranger to rescuing beleaguered governments or public agencies. He brings with him a unique skill set that makes him well respected by both parties and could serve the state well. Finally, Ravitch already has firmly stated that he will not be running for elected office. Thus, he will be in a distinct position to do what is truly best for the state because he can ignore the calls from New York's powerful special interest groups."

A government full of Democrats would rather have you be a Republican, and a government full of Republicans would rather have you be a Democrat, than have you oppose both.Brian Celio
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn`t work and then they get elected and prove it.P.J. O`Rourke
A democracy is a government in the hands of men of low birth, no property, and vulgar employments.Aristotle
Where you have no religion, you are sure to have no government, for as religion disappears, anarchy takes place and fixes a compleat Hell on earth till religion returns.Daniel Morgan
Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.Louis D. Brandeis
There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.Thomas Jefferson

No one will expect the British Government or the Government of India to give way to threats of violence, disorder and chaos; and, indeed, representatives of large sections of Indian opinion have expressly warned us that we must not do so.Stafford Cripps

He let out a yell of joy. They danced round the room. Pressure of population was such that reproduction had to be strict, controlled. Childbirth required government permission. For this moment, they had waited four years. Incoherently they cried their delight.Brian Wilson Aldiss
If human beings are fundamentally good, no government is necessary; if they are fundamentally bad, any government, being composed of human beings, would be bad alsoFred Woodworth
Royalty is a government in which the attention of the nation is concentrated on one person doing interesting actions.Walter Bagehot
We imagined that the mildness of our government and the wishes of the people were so correspondent that we were not as other nations, requiring brutal force to support the laws.Henry Knox
We believed that growth through Local Government, and perhaps through some special machinery for bringing the wishes and influence of women of all classes to bear on Parliament, other than the Parliamentary vote, was the real line of progress.Mary A. Ward
The government is good at one thing...it knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say 'see if it weren't for the government you wouldn't be able to walkHarry Browne
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my legThomas Jefferson
Government cannot make man richer, but it can make him poorerLudwig von Mises

Clay's Corner – Whitney Houston's Funeral to Include US Flag at Half Staff?

December 7, 1941. Just before 8am a surprise attack on the Naval and land forces took the lives of over 2400 people and injured scores more.
June 6, 1944. The beginning of the end for what seemed to be a lengthy war already. The Allied invasion was getting ready to begin in France.
Can you think back on one person outside your family that stands out on how much you were influenced growing up?
America has lost one of it most beloved broadcasters this weekend, just a month ago Andy Rooney gave his last commentary on the CBS Sunday evening show 60 Minutes and called it a career after being on 60 minutes since 1978 and doing 1,097 commentaries.
You know, when you work in radio you really don't get a lot of time to really listen to music let alone an entire album. I was curious about Toby Keith's new album Clancy's Tavern. So, while I was working on stuff for our websites I thought I would take a listen to the album. My opinion? I know it's not worth much but here it is...
"Trick or treat!' The sound that will be heard all over and over again on Halloween.
Everyone thinks their neighborhood is the best for trick-or-treating. But the folks at real estate site Zillow have actually compiled a list of the best cities for scoring some 'tricks or treats' this Halloween.
In creating its third annual Trick-or-Treat Index, Zillow considered factors such as median home values, crime rates, population density and overall "walkability" when choosing the 20 best urban areas in which to gather candy on October 31.
So how does your city measure up?
According to a new Gallup poll, 50 percent of American adults favor legalizing marijuana, the highest percentage in Gallup's 42-year history of asking that question. Forty-six percent of Americans believe marijuana should remain illegal.
The Occupy Wall Street movement continues to generate headlines, so what better time to see what Americans actually think of our esteemed financial institutions?
Forty-seven percent of Americans think Wall Street hurts the American economy more than it helps, whereas only 38 percent think the opposite is true.
The fight over taxes and the public debt is never far from the headlines lately, and Toby Keith has never been shy about speaking his mind on political matters, so it's only natural that he offered his thoughts about taxes when speaking with the Boston Herald.
What might be surprising — at least for folks who consider Keith just another red state-residing good ol' boy — is the way he responded to the question.

Mars mission simulator: six men to spend 1.5 years in a bubble
No, it's not the next big reality TV show (though it sounds like it could be): six researchers are going to spend a whopping 520 days inside Mars500, a Russian-built, facility-sized simulator that approximates the enormous effort a trip to Mars would entail. The simulator is made up of three main segments, with an area that represents the surface of the planet, space for a Mars lander, and the interior of the "spaceship" that would have taken the team from Earth.
During the 520-day mission — which will include a 250-day journey to Mars, a 30-day period exploring the planet, and 240-days to travel back — the crew of six will have to overcome communication failures, being forced to ration food, and deal with feelings of isolation and separation in general.
Despite how it may sound, the goal of Mars500 isn't to torture six poor researchers. It's a study to identify the rigors that go along with a manned deep-space mission and the problems — both technical and mental — that may arise. The facility has already hosted two previous missions: a short, 14-day mission and a longer 105-day stretch, which wrapped up last year (the latter of which involved two ESA astronauts and four cosmonauts).
520 days is the longest space mission yet, even if it is in a simulator. At that length of time, it's over triple the six months an astronaut will, at most, spend on the International Space Station. Scroll down below to see the kind of bedroom the Mars500 crew members can expect.

WASHINGTON D.C. –  Representative Jackie Walorski (IN-02) made the following statement after the announcement President Obama has accepted the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki:
"Secretary Shinseki is a decorated veteran and has dedicated his life to this country and for that we will always be grateful. This issue is not partisan, nor is it political and it must remain that way.  Today is not a celebration or a victory for the millions of American veterans in our country who are in limbo with doctor appointments, illnesses and medical benefits. Since I was sworn into office 18 months ago, I have heard heartbreaking stories from vets who have been left to die at the hands of the VA.  I have been provided with reports detailing abuse and secret waiting lists that were destroyed. I will move heaven and earth if needed to make sure no one else suffers at the expense of VA mismanagement. The House Veterans' Affairs Committee has passed dozens of bipartisan measures to help improve the lives of our veterans. Now, 15 bills now sit in the Senate waiting for action.  We must work together to get to the bottom of the corruption, which is why I called for Shinseki's resignation almost three weeks ago and asked for an outside criminal investigation to tell us, once and for all, how preventable deaths and the cover-up of information, was allowed. Shinseki's successor should have outside experience and gravitas and must put an end to the deliberate destruction of records while also holding bad actors accountable. Otherwise they are being set up for failure and veterans will continue to die. I look forward to working together with the VA to uncover the truth and help protect our nation's veterans to ensure they receive the care and benefits they so rightfully deserve."

After my heart attack, Dr.Cooper of Philadelphia and Dr. Bachet of Seattle,
Gave me two pieces of advice on how with heart disease to do battle.
Cooper, a professor of medicine, said it's mostly about exercise,
Barchet, former head of naval medicine said to prevent my demise,
Eat the right things and fight a continuous the navel battle.
Cooper advised me to give up my automobile,
To walk everywhere,to be pedestrian mobile,
Brecht said: forego processed foods, go for olive oil,
Add coEnzyme Q10 and vitamin A enriched cod liver oil,
I'll have to do both, I'm on a banana peel.

OK, Class of 2014. You've been out of college for (gulp) over a month now. You walked across that stage on May 9. Why, you're yesterday's news! And you still don't have a job or even the faintest clue what to do next. So what's the first thing you should do?
Don't panic! Believe it or not, history is on your side. As shown in this infographic with outcomes data from the Simmons Class of 2012 Employment Survey, while only 36% of students had their jobs by graduation, fully 60% of those in full-time jobs were in them by three months out, and 82% were employed within six months of graduation. The latest data from the National Association of Colleges and Employers for this year's graduates is trending in the same direction.
There is more good news for you fortunate Simmons grads. We know that 40% of your predecessors found their jobs through the most tried and true method --- networking -- and when they landed at their first destination, 90% of them were in a position related to their major.
Lucky you: the rebounding job market is also on your side. Not too long ago the US unemployment rate was over 10% and jobs were hard to come by, especially entry-level positions. But this year, as previously reported in this space, the market is in your favor and the hiring outlook for new college grads is up. Companies across a range of industry segments are growing and seeking new talent again.
The job market in New England, where over 80% of you choose to stay year after year, is also looking stronger. While the national unemployment rate is improving and was last reported at 6.3%, Massachusetts is looking even better at 5.6%, the the lowest monthly rate in six years and the first time since July, 2008 that it's been under 6 percent.
We also know, however, that mounting a job search takes time - on average, six months from initial steps to landing a position. So those employed Simmons new grads who went before you were probably getting underway with their search by now.
Even if you are throttling back and taking some time off this summer after you busted your you-know-what for four years, you can still harness the power of the Career Education Center to aid in your next steps. The CEC website is packed with helpful tips and information to get you started, including the wealth of career guides maintained by the experts in Beatley Library. There are over 60 of them, most of them discipline-focused, and numerous others on helpful topics such as "Job Hunting Online."
So, whether you're Bio or Comm, English or Poli Sci, Nursing or Psych, there is an online guide for you. And once you've poked around in there and found some items of interest you might want to think about connecting with a career coach in the CEC. Even if you are not local and cannot meet face-to-face you can set up a phone appointment. Heck, we've already Skyped with a Simmons grad on the other side of the world this spring!
You'll also want to check out another recent blog entry from one of our CEC coaches with ten tips for new grads.
Once you commit and take those initial steps and get a plan going, then start to reach out to target companies and begin to network your way in, pretty soon it will be you negotiating with an employer, getting to yes, and getting that coveted handshake. And when you've landed, you can share the good news with us in this year's first destinations survey - e-mail the CEC and we will send you a link to the survey.
We're here all summer long -- for you. Let us know when you're ready to get going.
