The variety of life in nature can be compared to a vast library of unread books, and the plundering of nature is comparable to the random discarding of whole volumes without having opened them, and learned from them.

Daniel Radcliffe Tells 'Harry Potter' Fans To Get Ready To Laugh
'Half-Blood' Could Be 'Funniest' Film
Expect to see several characters making out in the flick too.
By Jennifer Vineyard for MTV.com, 11th December 2007
Every year at Hogwarts seems to get darker and darker. But when Harry Potter starts his sixth year in "Half-Blood Prince," expect things to lighten up a bit.
"If we pull [it] off [right], it should be the funniest of the films so far," Daniel Radcliffe promised.
That's because, as director David Yates points out, it's the "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" of the Potter books, with massive making-out sessions to occur for several characters — Ron and Lavender, Harry and Ginny — as they come of age. "It's the 'American Graffiti' for this set," Yates said. "I'm looking forward to developing the relationship between Ron and Hermione, and Ron and Lavender. There's a nice triangle there."
The biggest relationship being developed in "Prince" is, of course, the one between Harry and Dumbledore, as the professor takes the student under his wing and shows him Voldemort's back story (as much as it can be pieced together) in the memory-revealing Pensieve. "I'm jealous of Dumbledore taking all the scenes," laughed Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna Lovegood. "But what they've done is really good."
Some of those Voldemort memories required a younger Tom Riddle to join the cast, so Hero Fiennes-Tiffin (Ralph Fiennes' nephew) and Frank Dillane are now aboard to play the 11-year-old version and 16-year-old versions of the Dark Lord, respectively. Even though — like Ralph — Frank is presumably non-evil in real life, Evanna says she's a little scared to approach her newest castmember just yet. "I saw him, but to go up and say, 'Hi'? He's Voldemort!" she said. "But maybe I will. He has a quiet, dark side, so people don't know him much yet. He doesn't say much. I'm sure he's a lovely boy. But he does have that aura."
Once casting was completed, the actors had a read-through — excluding Katie Leung, said the actress who plays Harry's former crush, Cho Chang. Not because Cho is not to be seen in this next installment — which you might have guessed from the way their love story ended in "Order of the Phoenix," out Tuesday (December 11) on DVD — but because Katie started university in the fall. She'll be back on set in January to shoot her "Prince" scenes and hopes to be back yet again for the finale scenes in "Deathly Hallows."
"There's still a slight jealousy there with Ginny to be resolved," she said. "I'm glad she's there fighting for the good side even though her relationship with Harry didn't work out in the end."
For all the jealousy Katie faced when Cho became Harry's first kiss, Bonnie Wright (who plays Ginny) hopes fans don't have the same response to her more extended kissing scenes. "I suppose our relationship lasts longer than Cho and Harry, but remember — at the end of [Book] Six, Harry and I can't be together," she said. "It'll be funny to do [the make-out scenes], but it's just a film! Hopefully people will just enjoy it and not get too jealous," she laughed.
"I knew Bonnie when she was 10, so that's going to be very odd!" Radcliffe laughed. "It's going to be fine, but it's going to be funny."

Effective, But Care Should Be Taken... Adderall has been a god send for me both in my academic and professional life's. Having been diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, I have had the 'opportunity' to experience the gambit of remedial drugs available for treatment of ADD/ADHD on the American market. For me, I have found a combination of Adderall and Dexedrine to be the most effective means of calming my behaviour and inattentiveness.
While Adderall (in combination with the dexedrine) has proven to be the most effective med. for ME, the side effects have been an inability to sleep (if taken to late, which for me means after 5pm), and more importantly a slight psychological addiction which I have to remind myself about and which is obviously a significant downside. The latter has been most apparent when I have been 'denied' the ability to access my meds for what ever reason; the result of which have usually taken the shape of severe mood swings and agitation. i am still not sure if this is a result of the psychological addiction (of which I am convinced I have at least a mild case of) or 'withdrawal'.
In any case, while this drug has been extremely beneficial to me, I have also had to learn to be careful with it.

"Teamwork!" the first graders yelled as they clambered over one another to get a chance to throw a punch.
"Remember, you are all on the same team so cheer for each other," John Sherman, one of the trainers from Title Boxing Club, said.
In order to promote good health and fun exercise alternatives, the boxing club, based out of Forest Hills on Austin Street, visited PS 28, located at 109-10 47 Ave. in Corona on Tuesday, to teach seven first-grade classes about fitness and making the right choices to fit exercise into their daily routine.
"We want kids to exercise and understand that eating well goes with exercising well," Danny Azzo of Title Boxing said. "You need both to be fit and healthy. It's not just about obesity, it's about living a healthy lifestyle."
The children were instantly drawn to the idea of wearing boxing gloves and giving their best right hooks and upper cuts but Sherman and co-trainer Alex Arias were quick to remind the children that boxing is not something that should be used against one another.
"The people who come to our gym do boxing in a controlled environment," Azzo said. "There's no sparring or anything. You're not hitting anything but a bag or mitts."
The idea for the program came about after Christina Kollbeck, a special education teacher at PS 28, joined the boxing club to battle her own weight problems. She is now working with Title Boxing Club to drive the ongoing message to children that fitness is an important part of every person's life.
"There are a number of teachers who are members, and we're here for any teacher or principal who would like us to talk to their students about exercising and health as well," Azzo said.
Azzo already has two additional schools lined up for his trainers to visit.
The hour-long session wasn't just about uppercuts and jabs; part of the program involved learning proper stretch and warm-up techniques, discussing healthy foods and meditating.
"Repeat after me everyone: All exercise is good exercise," trainer Liz Bustamante said to the kids after they finished drawing their favorite healthy snacks.
After coloring, Bustamante led the children in a quick meditation.
"It's important to work our bodies but we also have to relax our bodies and our minds," she said.
While the first-graders were understandably most excited about putting on the boxing gloves and pounding a punching bag, a majority of them seemed genuinely interested in the health discussion too.
"When I was growing up, I didn't have any sort of console but now that's what everyone has practically attached to them," Azzo said. "I want to give kids the chance to just play outside like I used to."
After the boxing session was over and the students lined up with their teachers to go back to class, one little boy turned to his friend, pointing to a shiny champion belt one of the trainers had brought.
"I want to get good enough so that I can get one of those," he said, flexing his muscles. "I want to have a big champion belt to wear."

70 evacuated as fire rips through Salem building
Updated On: May 06 2014 05:46:36 AM EDT
Dozens of people were evacuated early Tuesday when a two-alarm fire tore through a Salem apartment building.
About 70 residents were forced out of the four-story building at 60 Dow St. Salem police helped evacuate the residents from the building, and fire officials said thanks to the quick rescues, no one was seriously hurt.
Officials said the fire started on a first floor porch and quickly spread. Police were first to arrive, and they ran through the building knocking on doors.
Residents who made it out on their own said the alarms went off and they went running.
The American Red Cross is helping about 30 residents who remain displaced.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- South Africa's rand extended gains and bond yields fell after the European Central Bank said it will lend dollars to European lenders to ensure they have enough of the U.S. currency through the end of the year.
The rand advanced as much as 1.3 percent to 7.3146 per dollar, and traded 0.7 percent stronger at 7.3608 per dollar as of 4:14 p.m. in Johannesburg. The 13.5 percent bonds due 2015 climbed 68 cents to 123.12 rand, driving the yield up 18 basis points, or 0.18 percentage point, to 6.785 percent.
The ECB said it will conduct liquidity operations in concert with the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan and the Swiss National Bank. Investor concern that Europe's debt crisis will cause a funding shortfall for euro- region banks had sapped demand for riskier assets.
"This is definitely a short-term positive for the rand and bonds," Nema Ramkhelawan-Bhana a currency strategist at Rand Merchant Bank in Johannesburg, said by phone. "The fact that they have to provide dollar funding is an indication of bank stress," which helped drive the rand to a one-month low on Sept. 13 as investors shunned riskier assets.
The euro strengthened against the dollar after the announcement in Frankfurt. Two banks this week borrowed the U.S. currency from the ECB in its regular seven-day operation, a sign they are finding it difficult to gain access to the U.S. currency in markets.
Earlier, bonds gained and the rand advanced versus the dollar after German and French leaders said they're certain Greece will remain in the euro zone.
Aversion Subsides
"The news would have gone some way to restoring confidence," Tradition Analytics strategists led by Johannesburg-based Quinten Bertenshaw said in a research note. "Levels of risk aversion have subsided" though "the euro zone is not out of the woods yet", they added.
South African bonds gained, paring the biggest five-day drop since October 2008 as investors sold high-yielding assets on concern Europe's debt crisis will raise borrowing costs for the region's banks.
Global investors sold a net 10.8 billion rand ($1.5 billion) of South African stocks and bonds in the first three days of this week, according to JSE Ltd. data. The European Central Bank said on Sept. 14 it will lend dollars to two euro- area banks, a sign they are finding it difficult to borrow in the U.S. currency markets, while Credit Agricole SA and Societe Generale SA had their long-term credit ratings cut one level by Moody's Investors Service.

Yahoo becomes latest victim of hacking
Updated On: Feb 01 2014 08:09:13 AM EST
It's the latest in a string of security breaches. This time Yahoo is admitting that usernames and passwords of its email customers have been compromised.
Yahoo is the second largest email service in the world. The company hasn't said exactly how many people are affected.
The access the hackers gained on Yahoo could lead to a much more serious security breaches in banks and stores. Hackers are using information contained in the hacked email accounts to harvest information about financial accounts or other personal information, or they are selling personal information online.
"You can get 100,00 email addresses for like $25," said computer expert Chris Hamer, who works for the Bradford County Sheriff's Office.
Hamer said hackers are selling personal information by the bulk to thieves who, in turn, use that information to gain access to bank accounts.
"Credit card information can go from anywhere from $15 to $30 a pop for each card," Hamer said. "You buy them in a group of a hundred."
This marks the second time Yahoo has been hacked. In 2012, 450,000 customers' information was compromised. Yahoo has yet to reveal how deep the infiltration is this time.
"It looks like the people were at third party websites, people tied into yahoo, and had a large host of yahoo accounts where they stored their database in an insecure fashion," Hamer said.
Yahoo is telling its customers it is doing everything it can to track down the hackers and resecure breached accounts. But just weeks after major companies like Target fell victim to a similar thing, consumer confidence is suffering.
"I feel like no place is safe anymore. They did it to several companies," computer user Sandy Hibbard said.
She said the increase in hacking isn't a surprise at all, and, in her eyes, won't effect the company's bottom line.
"I think it could, but most people realize it can happen anywhere, so what do you do?" Hibbard said.

Three Preludes (Gershwin)
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (April 2009)
Three Preludes are short piano pieces by George Gershwin, which were first performed by the composer at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York in 1926. Each prelude is a well-known example of early-20th-century American classical music, as influenced by jazz.
Gershwin originally planned to compose 24 preludes for this group of works. The number was reduced to seven in manuscript form, and then reduced to five in public performance, and further decreased to three when first published in 1926. Two of the remaining preludes not published were rearranged for solo violin and piano and published as Short Story. Of the other two, the Prelude in G had been eliminated by the publisher Wyatt[who?] because somewhat similar music had already appeared in Gershwin's Concerto in F. The other was excluded for unknown reasons.
Gershwin dedicated his Preludes to friend and musical advisor Bill Daly.
The pieces have been arranged for solo instruments, small ensembles, and piano.
1. Allegro ben ritmato e deciso[edit]
The first prelude, in B-flat major, begins with a five-note blues motif; virtually all the melodic material in the piece is based on this theme. Syncopated rhythms based on the Brazilian baião and chords containing flattened sevenths occur throughout; these give the piece a strong jazz feel. Although these sounds are far from adventurous by modern standards, to the audiences of the late 1920s they were almost unheard of. Structurally, the piece is in ternary form; however, the impression on the listener is that of a fantasia. This effect is achieved by using snippets of various virtuoso techniques, such as repeated notes, octaves, scales, and crossed hands, each of which is used for only a moment before the piece catches a flicker of some new idea.
2. Andante con moto e poco rubato[edit]
The second Prelude, in C-sharp minor, also has the distinct flavour of jazz. The piece begins with a subdued melody winding its way above a smooth, steady bassline. The harmonies and melodies of this piece are built on thirds, emphasizing both the interval of the seventh and the major/minor duality of the blues scale. In the second section, the key, tempo, and thematic material all change; only the similarity of style binds the two sections together. The opening melody and bass return in the final section, more succinct but otherwise unchanged, and the piece ends with a slow ascent of the keyboard. Gershwin himself referred to the piece as "a sort of blues lullaby."
3. Allegro ben ritmato e deciso[edit]
Early listeners called the third Prelude, in E-flat minor, "Spanish", but modern ears may find this description puzzling. (This is analogous to the description of Mozart's Rondo alla turca by his contemporaries as "Oriental"; in the present day, it sounds Viennese more than anything else.) After a brief and dramatic introduction, the main theme is revealed: two melodies that together form a question-and-answer pair. This pair is used throughout to provide harmonic structure, with the question harmonised using E-flat minor chords, while the answer is harmonised with E-flat major chords. After a brief, highly syncopated middle section, the melodic pair returns assertively in octaves, causing a battle between major and minor. Major eventually wins, and the piece concludes with a flourish.

National Students' Day in Phl proposed
The House Committees on Basic Education and Culture and Higher and Technical Education sponsored House Bill 4093, which is in recognition of the annual observance of the International Students' Day.
The International Students' Day was first commemorated in London in 1941 by the International Students Council to honor the nine Czechoslovakian students who fought against the Nazi occupation.
To be known as National Students' Day Act, House Bill 4093 "sets a regular celebration in honor of Filipino students in their schools, communities and societies."
The bill also seeks to memorialize the Filipino students' contribution to democracy and boost their social and moral development.
House Bill 4093 substituted House Bill Nos. 407 and 2610 authored respectively by Rep. Susan Yap of Tarlac and Reps. Neri Colmenares, Carlos Isagani Zarate and Antonio Tinio of the independent bloc.
The substitute bill mandates the National Youth Commission to lead in the preparation and implementation of an annual program of activities for the observance of the National Students Day.
The Department of Education (DepEd) and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) shall support NYC in facilitating and promoting related activities to all public and private schools.
All schools, colleges and universities are encouraged to extend their full support for exercises and activities to be launched by the students during the observance of the National Students' Day.

Fuelled by hate, incapable of forming normal human relationships, unwilling to listen to dissenting voices, Adolf Hitler seemed an unlikely leader, and yet he commanded enormous support and was able to exert a powerful influence over those who encountered him. How did Hitler become such an attractive figure to millions of people? That is the question at the core of Hitler's Charisma.
Acclaimed historian and documentary filmmaker Laurence Rees examines the nature of Hitler's appeal and reveals the role his supposed "charisma" played in his success. Here is a fascinating social, psychological and historical investigation into the formation of a personality whose determination and vision would at the outset convince a small group of like-minded political and social outcasts but would eventually win over an entire nation and plunge the rest of the world into a cataclysm unlike any that had ever been seen before. Hitler's Charisma is a natural culmination of twenty years of writing and research on the Third Reich and a remarkable examination of the man and the mind at the heart of it all.
(With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations)
"Laurence Rees asks, as always, the right questions, and provides excellent answers. Blending oral testimony of contemporaries with documentary evidence, he offers sharp insight into the adulation of Hitler by millions of Germans that underpinned his 'charismatic rule.' At the same time, he vividly illustrates the bonds of Germany's elites with Hitler—bonds which led to world war and genocide, and ensured that the dictator's power remained unbroken until the end." —Sir Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler: A Biography
"Offering acerbic insight into Hitler's 'charismatic rule,' this is an arresting account, which asks and answers all the right questions." —The Telegraph (London)
"A useful vehicle for many of the first-hand accounts from eyewitnesses and participants . . . The book flows briskly and provides some illuminating perspectives along the way." —The Independent on Sunday (London)
"A fascinating study." —Antony Beevor, author of The Second World War
"So how did Hitler convince his generals to invade Russia and his subjects to ignore the genocide around them? This readable, fascinating book, a worthy addition to the vast literature surrounding Hitler, has plausible answers." —Kirkus
"Rees moves easily from the broad themes of German politics and economics to the individual voices of those who supported and opposed Hitler. Incorporating most of the latest scholarship on Hitler, Rees provides valuable insights here into a topic that is not new." —Library Journal
"Rees's spotlight on charisma forces us to think hard about what it means to persuade, to argue, to reason—or simply to assert one's will." —The Chronicle of Higher Education

A word from the American Occupational Therapy Association........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24ecvXE3ZjY
Young or old, we all have a job to do-the job of living. Learning, growing, playing, working, managing our homes, and caring for our families are among the "occupations" of life.
Unfortunately, physical, emotional, or other challenges often prevent people from fully participating in the job of living. Disease, injury, depression, or developmental problems can make it difficult for people to do everyday tasks or be active and independent.
Occupational therapy-a vibrant, growing profession-makes it possible for people to achieve independence and to enjoy life to its fullest. By choosing a career inoccupational therapy, you will make a difference! You will be able to improve the lives of people, from newborns to the very old.
Students today can look forward to dynamic careers working in multiple settings with people of all ages. And the employment outlook for occupational therapy assistants is bright! Recent information published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that the job outlook for occupational therapy assistants will improve substantially in the next several years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Specifically, it states that "employment of occupational therapy assistants is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations through 2014," meaning that employment is expected to increase by 27% or more.
One of the greatest advantages of a career in occupational therapy is the wide variety of opportunities available to occupational therapy graduates. Many practitioners choose to help children thrive in the "occupations" of childhood, which include learning, playing, and growing. Therapists work in schools with students who have learning disabilities or behavioral problems. Others work with premature newborns at pediatric hospitals or children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other disabilities.
Occupational therapy assistants also work with individuals in their homes, community centers, rehabilitation hospitals, businesses, and nursing homes. In these settings, occupational therapy assistants help people with traumatic injuries, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, or mental health problems, learn to live productive lives through the use of meaningful occupations.
Those who join the field today may choose other areas of practice that are increasingly important. These new specialties include training workers to use proper ergonomics on the job, helping people with low vision maintain their independence, making buildings and homes more accessible, older driver evaluation and training, and promoting health and wellness.
Occupational therapy is a career for individuals who care about people and have a desire to learn, achieve, and contribute their best to society and the profession!
Browse through our website and see how you too can become an Occupational Therapy Assistant!!

Robert's Steakhouse
Midtown West
- $$$$
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Feb 24 2010
Surely there's a catchier name for this dazzling steakhouse in the Penthouse Executive Club. Booty and the Beef? The Loin King? Regardless, they serve serious food in a silly setting—the mezzanine of Bob Guccione's 10,000-square-foot salute to pulchritude. Lang's dishes are every bit as seductive as the tawny ladies pole-dancing below. Sicilian sausage joins rigatoni in a spicy starter, topped with a dollop of fresh ricotta. Steaks are marvelous, whether a thick-as-your-fist, 28-ounce dry-aged New York strip, or kobe beef, served with buckwheat soba and shiitake mushrooms. Dessert might bring molten chocolate cake with rich pistachio ice cream. Or you could wait for one of the G-string divas offering lap dances to come to your dinner table. Whichever you choose, your waiter won't judge you; he'll merely smile and ask, ever so politely, "Shall I remove this dish, or are you still working on it?"
