Food Culture And Education In Japan
Thu 27 Feb 2014Story by Noriko Misawa
Japan Takes a Spin on The Food Revolution!
Japanese Diets: Ever-Evolving
Many who have traveled to Japan may have felt that Japanese people eat a variety of foods with different textures, colors, tastes, cooking styles, and ingredients. Deli sections of department stores are a typical example where tourists and visitors experience dish after dish of beautifully presented food. Obento boxes might have little compartments with side dishes made up of 20 different ingredients: soy sauce and dashi-braised seasonal root vegetables, seaweed and cucumber dressed in ginger vinaigrette, sashimi, fried tofu with dashi, blanched green vegetables, crispy pickles... Anything one could desire. The 24-hour convenience shops carry everything from pastries and energy drinks to foods like tofu, dashi egg omelet, and cooked hijiki seaweed, packaged and ready to be warmed and served at home. It is so easy to pick up delicious and balanced food to go; with all this prepared food everywhere, it is tempting not to cook at all!
The Japanese diet has been evolving, much like diets worldwide; now more westernized, it contains more fats and protein from meat sources, and less fiber and minerals. Young people cook less with so many accessible convenience foods. Over time, there has been an increase in lifestyle related diseases such as diabetes, obesity, or extreme weight loss due to lack of nutrients.
Japan Takes Action: Shokuiku!
The Japanese government saw this and took action. Since 2005, Food Education has been implemented nationwide. The philosophy is to educate everyone, starting at a young age, about the importance of food in order to live a healthy life, both physically and mentally.
By providing tools to educate kids at school as well as at home, the goal is to teach about the importance of a balanced diet, and that it is something which needs to be followed every day. You can find the English version of what the government says here.
For example, similar to the Food Revolution, the philosophy acknowledges that school lunches are the perfect medium to start teaching kids about food. �In order to promote Shokuiku in schools, the diet and nutrition teacher system was introduced. This is a new license that combines the qualifications of registered dietitian and teacher. The major roles of the nutrition teacher are to provide children with nutrition education through the school lunch system, foster desirable habits and self-management capacity in children, and advocate for a healthy diet in connection with other subjects and in families and the community�.
The Nutrition Top
The number of diet and nutrition teachers varies according to school size, but what is consistent is their message. To communicate what ideal meals should look like, they have created a symbol of �Food Education�, which is something like the American food pyramid, with a slight twist�literally! It spins like a top, implying that balance is important in maintaining health.
The first and largest layer is the starch group. The second biggest layer is called the �side vegetable� group, and consists of vegetables, mushrooms, root vegetables, and seaweed items. This category of food is supposed to provide the necessary fiber, minerals and vitamins not provided by the other layers. The protein follows as the next big layer, and it is made up of meats, fish, soy products, and eggs. The final layers have fruits, which are expensive and thus are consumed less, and dairy. Exercise and water is also needed to create a good balance, and as a result, allow the top to spin better.
Food education is endorsed at different levels in the community by volunteers, university students, parents and teachers. Corporations, universities, and the city government are involved as well. For example, food and agriculture corporations give out tomato plant seedlings to schools and communities to encourage awareness for growing vegetables, university students give classes at local elementary schools, and parents who are involved in the food business teach kindergarteners about cooking. There are people from all walks of life, and varying career paths, that are part of the Food Education movement here in Japan, and it has joined in the world in the revolution toward a healthier future.

For the ia64-linux I can see some future, as HP pushes the Itanium platform in general, running either HP-UX, Linux or Windows (and even OpenVMS). Although we do not run Linux on ia64 yet, because it is 64bit only (unlike hpux, linux does not support 32bit emulation on ia64 AFAICT), we eventually could switch one of our compile-farm nodes from ia64-hpux to ia64-linux - maybe the cross-compilers would run faster then... But it's ok with me to drop ia64-linux ATM, and to re-add it when there is time to do so. /haubi/ -- Michael Haubenwallner Gentoo on a different level -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

The PGA Championship is the fourth and final major of the season. This year the event will played on The Highlands Course at the Atlanta Athletic Club. The 2001 edition of this event was also played here. However, the course has gone over numerous alternations since then and those dated results should not carry much weight when setting your lineup. In addition, this event signals the rapidly approaching FedEx Cup playoff. Following next week's Wyndham Championship, the players eligible to compete in the final four events of the season will shirk. The top-125 in points will enter the playoffs. From there, the field is cut down to 100 then to 70 and finally just the top-30 will play for The Tour Championship. Managers in allocation formats should take inventory now in order to map out how they want invest their remaining starts for top players.

HELENA - A man who intended to rob a Papa John's Pizza store on Monday had a change of heart and, instead, walked away with a free pizza and hot wings.
According to Helena police, the man entered the store around midnight near closing time and gave the cashier a note to hand over money. But, as the person opened the till, the man started crying and said the only reason he was robbing the store was to feed his wife and kids.
The clerk talked the man out of taking the money and offered to make him a pizza and some wings.
After getting his pizza, the man walked away, heading east on Prospect Avenue.
Police would like to talk to the man, but say they don't know if any charges will be filed.

Lost my 7th baby yesterday, Im heartbroken...
They did a scan at the hospital and it was 8 weeks when it died, Im trying to cope but i had scan at 5 weeks and everything was fine... What happened to change in the 3 weeks... I just dont understand it.
Ive got to have a d&c as i cant do it naturally (Happened before at 8 weeks 5 days) So im not looking forward to it. Does anyone know if they will give you the ashes of the baby if you ask for them? I want to make them into a necklace so i can wear it constantly.
This pregnancy was a surprise, but in the end it was so wanted by me, Now i just feel its been snatched away.
Im dreading the testing they are wanting to do afterwards also to find out why im miscarriaging so much, But i hope they find out why so then hopefully i can go on to have another healthy baby.

Much of the baseball cognoscenti spent the last two years falling over itself praising the Houston Astros for rebuilding the "right way". The 'stros astute stripped the roster down to the wood, rebuilding the farm system and loading up on talent.
There is another side of the equation: Astros fans left to watch their favorite club struggle through (potentially) three straight 100 loss seasons. For a window into this very unique situation, Getting Blanked reached out to Astros fan and co-founder of Pitchers and Poets Ted Walker for his perspective on watching his favorite team play out the bottom ebb of an arduous rebuilding process.
Speculative Fandom
"If a team could skip an entire season, would they do that? The Astros definitely would." – Dustin Parkes during a recent episode of the Getting Blanked Podcast
The Houston Astros deserve the treatment above, because my hometown team is itself a living hypothetical statement. In the Astros' case, the query is: What happens if we intentionally and wholly ignore the fans of today in favor of the fans of a tomorrow? The payroll could not be lower, the players could not be younger, and my fellow fans and I are essentially coerced into a state of constant night, hoping that the sun will rise, as promised.
It's enough to jump ship to the Rangers or, using the opposite logic, to the Mariners or the Yankees. But I won't. Instead, when I turn on the Astros, a strange suite of emotes rises in my chest, characterized by a sense of quiet satisfaction, contentment and even, yes, I'll say pleasure. There are no fairy tales, here. The Astros are indeed the crappiest crowd of losers in all of baseballdom. And because I am a lifelong Astros fan and Houston native, I feel like I am supposed to have sunk into a quicksand miasma of despair over a litany of circumstances, like our coerced move to the AL (accompanied by an equivalent repulsion toward the DH), our years of basement play and the sorry state of our 25 man roster. Logic dictates that I should be miserable, but I just can't manage it.
The Astros, it turns out, are not so horrendous that baseball has ceased to be baseball. I am afforded a reasonable number of familiar faces — Jason Castro and Jose Altuve among the most prominent — our new uniforms make for decent laundry to root for, and they still pitch and catch and hit and run in circles. What keeps me out of a Cubs-fan-like depression is the set-up. First, no team could live up to — or down to, as the case may be — the epic and even gratuitously morose predictions for our futility in 2013. Even if our record matches what many sadistically hoped for, no season is so devoid of short runs and surprise performances to be totally joyless. Say that someone threatens to cut off all of your toes. When they stop at five, you're having a good day.
So how many toes do I have left? Where is this Houston Astros franchise? Let's mosey along and see if anything sticks to the wall.
The Astrodome has been sitting dormant for more than a decade, its insides rotting while local politicians find creative ways to continue ignoring it. A structure that defined an epoch in Houston is now a neglected heap bleaching in the sun like a cow skeleton. Brown stains streak the walls and the domed roof is as yellow as a pair of dentures. Too expensive to knock down and too expensive to revamp, it floats in a municipal purgatory, neither letting us forget it nor allowing us to consider it in a new light.
Is there some productive creative parallel to draw between the sorry state of the Astrodome and the sorry state of the Houston Astros franchise itself? Neither the building nor the franchise seem to exist fully in their own time, in the present. Both hang in a state of suspended animation, defined more by what will happen to them soon (we promise!) than what happens today. When it comes to the Dome and to the team, Astros fans are being asked to consider not what they can see with their own eyes, but what they may one day lay eyes on in a shimmering future-world.
By the time Jeff Luhnow arrived, the franchise was so devoid of creative solutions that any executive with the faintest intellectual pulse would be received as a savior. To his credit, Luhnow brought a focused vision that he has yet to diverge from, and he has communicated the message of this vision unremittingly at every step of the way. This means a lot to me, as a fan.
With that said, Luhnow is asking a lot.
The Astrodome was an optical illusion that projected a magical realist vision of the space program, interstellar Manifest Destiny and American dominion over the moon and the stars onto a baseball field. Jeff Luhnow and Jim Crane, with their highly conceptual intellectual exercise, the nuclear option detonating the existing roster and adding value only to the subterranean foundation, demand both boundless imagination and profound patience. They project onto the baseball field a kind of sabermetric Utopian dream in which prospect development and hope supplant "winning" as the intoxicant du jour. They stand, back-to-back, atop the rubble of a franchise, preaching about a glorious future that we can't see but can know and feel, the way that Dennis Hopper's character in Waterworld, Deacon, prophesies the rise of verdant dry land just over the next horizon from the bow of a decidedly marooned Exxon Valdez.
The Astrodome, by contrast, was the means to prove a desired outcome by showing rather than telling; a Houston-style trait in this land of high agency. Luhnow and Crane ask us to believe in an outcome that is years from fruition and is, in fact, far from guaranteed. A stock market play rather than a capital investment. There are cities where this approach would swim — Seattle comes to mind, though that fan base is well into a cycle of melancholy as the franchise's young assets continue not to pay dividends — but Houston would not rank high on the list. We are patient in sports through necessity, not proclivity, and we still haven't let go of the win-heavy decade from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. A mid-major market in sport only, our flagship industries — energy, health — wait for no outside directive to charge forward into the marketplace and make hay. There are many news stories out there right now about Houston's promise, its robust food scene, its economy and its diversity. No surprises there, to the Houstonian. The rest of the country is only now seeming to realize that we will stop at little to stake our claim. We have a long history of attracting similar personalities from all over the world and letting them melt into the queso, too.
In this light, the current state of the Astros would not seem to be a fit. In lieu of a long rebuild, many should want to sign a series of expensive free agents.
Many fans did not take well to the move to the AL, which they felt was, if I might generalize, a slight against the tradition and history of a franchise based in a city that looks forward with far greater clarity than it looks back. Commenters on the local newspaper web site have taken to manic decrying of these circumstances, railing against the conspiracies and the acquiesces that have robbed us of 50 years of NL history.
I, personally, am happy enough at the epicenter of this drawn-out thought experiment. I view it the way many draft enthusiasts do, that every move is a long play. The 2012 draft was a perfect example: we drafted a signable teenager, then used the slot money we saved to pay big money for lower picks who would have been picked higher but for their money demands. Jeff Luhnow is the quiet kid at the hearts table who grins when his opponents realize far too late that he is about to shoot the moon.
Much will on whether we do shoot the moon, but most exciting about this process is that it has few precedents. The extremity of the move, to ship out decent and cost effective players like Jed Lowrie because they are 29 instead of 23, to put every single decent player on the trade block, to sign nobody but veterans well past their value, this is the stuff of baseball simulator video games and sabermetric, well, hypotheticals. And we as Astros fans are a part of this novel process. The team is bad, no question, and it will last. The choice is in how we decide to live in that reality.
I choose to enjoy today for what it is: baseball. The daily routine, the personalities of the broadcasters, the look and feel of the team, the players young and old (by which I mean 27), the bats and balls. So, to answer your question, podcasters, no, we wouldn't skip this season, or any other, even if we could.

So half my basement floor is covered with DRICORE and rained way too much yesterday. THe water table came up and water through the concrete floor into the basement. The dricore got wet from below-between the tiles and water even above in spots. Will this stuff ever dry out or will it need to be tossed? Can"t find an answer on the DRICORE site and its sunday!
thanks Jeff |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would get a couple of dehumidifiers to work at once to get the moisture out of the DriCore. It'll probably be okay. Then you might have to rethink your approach if your basement regularly gets that much water. |

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court on Friday asked the state government to inform what steps it intended to take in connection with the alleged financial fraud involving BJP MLA from Radhanpur, Shankar Chaudhary.
In this case, Chaudhary was asked by the HC two years ago to cough up Rs 21 lakh, which was siphoned off by the legislator from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund ( PMNRF) for the purpose of building a school damaged in the 2001 earthquake.
Chaudhary was accused of spending the amount for construction of his own private school. The court had asked him to pay the money back with 10% interest. Chaudhary was also fined Rs 25,000. The court had also ordered an inquiry against the erring officials and observed that if need be, there should be an investigation by CID (crime).
Following these directions, the government set up a committee to look into the roles of government officials in this alleged scam.
After nearly two years, petitioner-complainant Farsu Goklani approached the high court again complaining against government's inaction in this matter. The state government on Friday submitted an affidavit stating that the committee might require six more months to probe roles of government officials.
Opposing the government's request for further time, petitioner's counsel Jal Soli Unwala submitted that a division bench had in 2010 issued directions to probe the incident and recommended criminal prosecution against those who are found responsible in this case. Instead, the government has limited its inquiry to the role played by government officials.
Claiming that the present inquiry is merely eyewash, the lawyer further submitted that the HC itself had directed the government to conduct an inquiry into the roles of all persons, including members of the trust and the MLA. After hearing this, a bench of justices Akil Kureshi and Harsha Devani asked the government to come up with answer within a week.

Listen up, UK readers: if you're rocking an HTC One from 2013, and you got it from O2 or Three, check your notification bar for an update. According to this HTC support page, a fresh, steaming copy of Sense 6 is headed your way. The unlocked GSM model of the One M7 should also be getting the update. (Apparently the unlocked update is going out by country, since the US unlocked model was already updated.) Vodafone UK and EE users will have to wait.
Sony's waterproof and dustproof flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z, is available to pre-order in the UK today from Three, although you'll have to wait until it's released on February 28th to get your hands on it yourself.
We first saw the 5-inch, 1080p phone last month at CES, and found ourselves impressed by its minimalist, elegant design. Water resistance comes at a price though, so you can expect to pay at least £34 a month if you want to take the phone home on a contract.
Sony's new flagship smartphone, the Xperia T, which was announced at IFA last month, is now available to purchase in the UK from Three.
As with most phones on the network, the Xperia T is available with truly unlimited data on the One Plan, which will cost customers £34 a month with an upfront cost of £29. The cheaper Ultimate Internet 500 plan is also available, and will put customers back £30 a month.
There are many cheap Android phones on the market today. Most of these devices will have a single core processor clocked at around 1GHz, and there won't be an awful lot of RAM to speak of either. This remains true of the HTC One V, but the latest budget phone to come out of the Taiwanese company has one key difference: it's running the latest version of Android.
That's right, you can finally own a budget device that doesn't ship with a version of Android that was released 2 years ago!
Three UK, the mobile network provider in Britain popular for its unlimited data plans without fair usage policies, has rolled out two new plans for their smartphone customers today which promise fear-free mobile internet.
The first plan, Essential, starts at £15 and provides customers with a choice of 100, 300 or 500 minutes per month as well as a 250MB data allowance. The idea behind this tariff is to stop bill shock, as your data will be cut off automatically when you reach your monthly data quota.
Are you worried about your ice cream melting before it reaches the UK? According to a press release from Three UK this morning, it should arrive on your doorstep still tasting nice and fresh in the shape of Samsung's newly announced Galaxy Nexus.
Although no specific dates have been given by the network, it's certainly encouraging to see an announcement so shortly after the phone's unveiling in Hong Kong.
During the unveiling, Samsung said that the phone will hit the market "in November" and see a worldwide distribution, so there is a good chance that the phone could come to the UK as soon as next month.
UK mobile carrier Three just announced that one of the most anticipated handsets of the year, the dual-core Galaxy S II, is now available for purchase.
The Galaxy S II is one of the speediest and slimmest Android handsets on the Market today with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, measuring only 8.5mm thick and shipping with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread." It comes with a beautiful 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display and sports 2 cameras: 8MP 1080P HD in the back and 2MP in the front.
Earlier today, Engadget managed to get their hands on the Spring release schedule for UK carrier, Three. Along with some exciting, though previously known, products, such as the HTC Flyer, Desire S, ChaCha, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, and the Blackberry Playbook, we got our first peek at the Samsung Galaxy S II Mini.
While this device is the little brother of the Galaxy S II, the specs on this phone are anything but mini.
Just in case you thought the Samsung Galaxy S would stop its myriad of launches around the world – the Super AMOLED phone has just become available at Three UK under three different pricing plans.
The three price plans are £35, £38, and £40 a month for two years, with the highest plan (called "The One Plan") giving you 2000 calling minutes, 5000 texts, and 1 GB of data – something users in the US aren't really familiar with (Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile all having unlimited data, and AT&T having a max of 2 GB.)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Buffy!
Facts about Buffy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Buffy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
We've seen snall cats before, but we've never seen one so tiny! While Buffy is not a special needs kitty, it's obvious from her tiny size that she will need special care through watchful eyes -- don't step on her!! She's a happy, playful, healthy, inquisitive, intelligent little girl! Her brother is Jody, much larger than she is, but her very best friend in the whole world is J.J.! They grew up together from the time that they were three months old. They have bonded well and would make wonderful companions for someone who has room in their heart for two very precious cats! No problem finding room in your home! They don't take up much space! They're the most loveable, funny little kitties you'll ever find! We don't recommend that Buffy and J.J. be adopted by a family with very young chlidren simply because they are so very much smaller than most cats their age. However, we think that both little cats would do well with a fairly young family that would have time and love for two very sweet and extraordinary kitties!
Other Pets at Ouabache Valley Felines & Friends, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buffy, a Terre Haute Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Terre Haute, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Terre Haute.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Terre Haute already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Terre Haute breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Terre Haute paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'll finish it with a butcher block top and get a shelf in there. It's on 5 casters and will be tucked under the granite counter. The idea is it will hold our china since we don't have a formal dining room. We host parties right in the kitchen on a big counter top table. We can roll it out and use it as a serving table. Can roll it over to dishwasher to load it back up when done.... Now the real trick is convincing the granite fabricator he can indeed find a way to support all that granite above it without a post to the floor.... |

You're going to need a LOT of welded steel to manage to support granite over that much of an outside corner and allow that to roll undeneath and clear. A steel cage would be about right. Angle and flat steel. And an expert welder. |
1/2 inch steel, and a welder all in the works. Also installing heavy steel corbels out the sides of both stationary cabinets. Will definitely post pics when done to add to the archives on GW. The granite guy wants us to shave 1/2 inch off the top of this to make room. In the end wood cuts better than granite..... :) |
You have so many great ideas for your kitchen. I can't wait to see the final product! |

Have you totaled up the weight of your dishes? You'll need mega casters to make sure they don't make runnels in your lovely floor when rolling about. I have a 24-person service of bone china part of which we use for our everyday dishes, and just the "ordinary" stuff (dinner, luncheon and salad plates, soup plate and fruit bowl and tea cups w/saucers) weighs a startling amount. I had thought to store it in drawers, but the reality of the weight and the high cost of necessary extra-heavy duty sliders made me change my plans. Far easier (and cheaper) to beef up the shelves in my pantry than try to store it in drawers. The dish shelves are a full 5/4 thick, with short support intervals. BTW, the picture thing is working just perfectly. I think you'll get excellent response. In former days we tried to avoid starting threads to conserve them, but now there are unlimited numbers, so feel free to post as many threads of your creative ideas as you'd like to share. HTH L. |
Good point on the weight. I suppose I will only put in as much as I can get away with :) This will hold maybe 60 pounds of china. There are 5 wheels to spread the load, and the floors are maple, so fairly tough. The cabinet man thought about this as well when he chose the wheels and spacing. So, yes, we thought through it, but we don't have a scientific way to test it until the time comes, much like the steel in the granite (although there are apparently calculators for load bearing and granite weights the granite guy is going to do). |
Beautiful! What is your countertop? I'd love to see more pictures of this kitchen. |

definitely an interesting idea. but it's going to require a lot of effort (more than i'd be willing to put in) to roll it around. 60 lbs of china, the weight of the butcher block and the steel ...oy, my back. |

Great idea. Should be very useful as I had never thought this could be done same as with your sink. Lovely. Let us know how it is working out. Too heavy? |
What a cool idea! Thanks for sharing it. |
Nope, 5 wheels underneath, rolls by pulling with one hand, no more effort than opening a fridge door. I'm holding out on the rest of the kitchen picks as I'm not done with the backsplash and various last minute touches for final reveal. |

[53] SOX10 and S100 in the Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Neoplasms.
Jason R Karamchandani, Torsten Nielsen, Matt Van de Rijn, Robert B West. Stanford University Medical Center, CA; University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
Background: SOX10 is involved in neural crest differentiation, and consistently expressed in melanocytic and schwann cells (Am J Surg Pathol 2008;32:1291–1298). S100 is commonly employed by pathologists to determine if a tumor has neural or melanocytic differentiation, though S100 also stains numerous benign and malignant soft tissue tumors and tissues that are not thought to arise from neural crest tissue (cartilage, dendritic cells, etc.). We compared SOX10 and S100 protein expression in soft tissue tumors to determine which antibody is more specific in identifying soft tissue tumors of neural crest origin.
Design: We compared the results of SOX10 and S100 protein expression in 989 specimens, which included 71 types of neoplasm (predominantly soft tissue), and 33 normal tissues. The majority of the samples were analyzed on tissue microarrays. We also evaluated 20 full cross sections.
Results: Both SOX10 and S100 reliably stained schwannomas (50 cases), neurofibromas (55 cases), and staining was similar in cases of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (78 cases). In 7 of 9 cases of desmoplastic melanoma, SOX10 showed a greater intensity of staining than S100. SOX10 also showed greater intensity of staining in 4/7 cases of clear cell sarcoma, 3 of which were S100 negative. We identified 5 non-neural, non-melanocytic sarcoma types in which a subset of cases showed strong S100 expression but where no SOX10 expression was seen: synovial sarcoma (12/79), Ewings sarcoma (3/14), rhabdomyosarcoma (4/17), chondrosarcoma (3/4), and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (5/11). We also studied 550 cases representing 38 benign and malignant soft tissue neoplasms, including adipocytic, smooth mucle, skeletal muscle, vascular, and fibrohistiocytic tumors, as well as several reactive pathologies and tumors of uncertain differentiation. None of these samples showed SOX10 positivity. 20 of these cases showed spurious S100 staining.
Conclusions: SOX10 is a reliable marker of neural crest differentiation, and is consistently expressed in schwannian and melanocytic tumors. In our series, SOX10 proved superior to S100 in the detection of desmoplastic melanoma, and clear cell sarcoma. We did not see SOX10 expression in cases of synovial sarcoma, Ewings sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, or extra-skeletal myxoid chondrosaroma, all of which occasionally demonstrated strong S100 positivity. Compared to S100, SOX10 shows increased specificity for tumors of neural crest origin, and should be used in the place of S100 in soft tissue tumor diagnosis.

Greg Smith is a Goldman Sachs "executive director" and "head of equity derivatives" in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. And, as you may have heard, today is his last day at the firm. Greg had a speech prepared for the big announcement, which he stayed up all night writing and planned to deliver on the trading floor at noon, but assuming security has other ideas, we volunteered to relay his story. A word of advice: brace yourselves.
Why is Greg resigning from Goldman Sachs? To understand why he's leaving, you have to know what it was like when he got here, twelve years ago.
It might sound surprising to a skeptical public, but culture was always a vital part of Goldman Sachs's success. It revolved around teamwork, integrity, a spirit of humility, and always doing right by our clients. The culture was the secret sauce that made this place great and allowed us to earn our clients' trust for 143 years. It wasn't just about making money; this alone will not sustain a firm for so long. It had something to do with pride and belief in the organization.
For a while, Greg loved Goldman Sachs! And the feeling was mutual, otherwise they obviously would not have bestowed him the great honor of being "selected as one of 10 people (out of a firm of more than 30,000) to appear on the recruiting video, which is played on every college campus we visit around the world." Shortly after the cameras rolled and he got his star turn, though, things began to change. And not in a good way. Greg suddenly noticed that the culture that made him "love working for this firm" was gone. He no longer had "the pride, or the belief." The moment of truth? When he realized he "could no longer look students in the eye and tell them what a great place this was to work." It didn't matter how great a performance he gave in those videos. It didn't matter that audiences would ask if he really worked for Goldman or if they'd hired an actor, as he appeared to have been classically trained. It didn't matter that his recruiting DVD had been nominated for several trade awards. It didn't matter because Greg had seen too much. Read more »

Back in December, Blu released its first 1080p phone, the Life Pure. It's a drastically different device than other Blu phones, in that the launcher and primary interface are very iOS-like. While most Android users probably scoff at that, it's actually a pretty good option for anyone looking to make the leap from iPhone to Android, as it eases the transition. With that said, the five-inch display may be one thing holding some users back from making the jump to the Life Pure, and with that, Blu released the Pure's little brother, the Life Pure Mini.
I've gone hands on with nearly every member of Blu's Life family at this point, and they've all lead up to this phone. The first four members of the Life line – the Play, View, One, and Pro – vary mostly in form factor, though the Pro also features a faster processor than its siblings. Up until the now, the general gist of the Life line has been: quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, and a 720p display.

Majewski makes loan move to Forest
The midfielder has joined the Reds from Polonia Warsaw on a season-long loan deal with the view to making a permanent move this time next year. The 22-year-old is held in high regard back in his homeland and will now be hoping to catch the eye in the Championship next season. Forest boss Billy Davies believes the young midfielder is capable of making an impact in England and has expressed his delight at securing Majewski's services. "He's a player we've been watching for a long time and a player that has produced several good performances at international level," Davies told the club's official website. "I've spoken to several people close to international football who have had nothing but good things to say about him. "And having seen him play, I watched several DVDs and closely monitored his progress, we certainly think we're brining in a player that has got an excellent football brain and a wonderful touch. "He certainly has the ability to create and score goals and on his day can be a real handful. "He's a very fit young man and is another player with great potential who will only get better."

My first poem this year…
February 6, 2013 in Drama & poetry, School
Here's just a quick post of my latest poem for school(it had to be about monsters)…i will post soon on how the first day was etc..right now I got a speech to learn…
he comes out at night
He's meant to be, nothing more, BUT A FRIGHT
He's the minister of disaster
He's really much more faster
than either you or me
Have you ever heard a bang at night?
Or a knock on your bedroom door
Well if you had it was him! Creeping on the floor
You think that you were just imagining
But it's all really happening
He sneeks into your school bag and takes out your homework book
He erases every single word with an evil look
And when you get to school
Your teacher thinks you are a fool
You tell her it all really happened late last night
you swear with all your might!

By Richard Johnston
People living just eight miles apart could experience a difference in healthy life expectancy of 11 years. Driven by this disparity, researchers at Newcastle University have developed a game to address the large gap in health equality.
The Healthy Life Simulation is an interactive activity, with players drawn from groups including health experts, academics, members of Newcastle City Council Health and Wellbeing board, in addition to people from the local community aged 55 or above.
Tom Kirkwood, Director of Newcastle University's Initiative on Changing Age highlighted the problem - "In Newcastle, for example, people living in Ponteland might expect 11 more healthy years than someone half-an-hour away on the Metro line in Byker."
The simulation will run for two days, with the aim of reducing by 50% the gap in healthy life expectancy between social classes in the North East for people aged 55, within a 10-year timeframe. Two teams will face off against each other, trying to minimize the gap in healthy life expectancy. Participants will consider health research and social policy options – suggesting associated interventions while simultaneously considering constraints such as time, funding and efficacy.
Initially, the simulation will be trialed in the North East, but the researchers claim this concept can be translated for other areas by modifying and updating the content. "In some areas of London, you shed a year of healthy life expectancy for every tube station you pass" Kirkwood says. Some of the effects are less localized, and the underlying causes are more complex than simple affluence measures. "Cuba is relatively poor, but has a higher healthy life expectancy than the USA" added Kirkwood.
The gap in life expectancy can be traced back through a model that links diseases such as diabetes and heart disease to risk factors like obesity, education and smoking – which can be improved by health interventions. Policy makers need to consider many factors when deciding which areas are of highest priority, and which interventions to fund. The game will put players in this position, simulating and accelerating the processes, and visualizing instantaneous impacts of funding decisions. A major constraint in the game will be that players cannot increase spending on public health or social care.
Peter Gore, Professor of Practice for Ageing and Vitality at Newcastle University emphasized the scale of the issue and the work that needs to be done, saying "We need to reduce the widening gap in health inequality between social classes that is common to both advanced and emerging economies. It's not only a regional issue but a global one".

How to Remove Fingerprints from Photos
We're so used to digital photos (hello, Instagram!) that sometimes, we forget that tangible pictures are susceptible to the elements. Fortunately, one of the most common form of photograph mishaps—fingerprint marks—is easy to remedy.
While minor marks can be gently cleaned away using a 100 percent cotton cloth or T-shirt, greasy fingerprint stains may need the help of a moist towelette (the kind used for plastic glass lenses and computer screens). According to Russ Muzzolini, Vice President of Imaging and Rendering at Shutterfly.com, "The cleaning solvent lifts grease off the photo without leaving behind remains or scratch marks." From there, safely set the photo aside so it can air-dry.
Ready for your close up? Here's how to look good in pictures.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Durango!
Facts about Durango
- Breed: Paint/Pinto/Draft Mix
- Color: Paint
- Age: Young
- Size: Large
- Sex: Male
Durango's Info...
I am already neutered.
Durango is adorable, friendly, smart--what more could you ask for in a horse?! His dam, Angelina, was a PMU mare and was pregnant with Durango when she came to Equine Voices. He was born at the ranch in the spring of 2008, and just loves people. He has great potential and is patiently awaiting his loving, forever home.
Other Pets at Equine Voices Rescue & Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Durango, a Green Valley Paint/Pinto/Draft was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Paint/Pinto/Draft for sale in Green Valley, or seeking a Paint/Pinto/Draft from a breeder in Green Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Green Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Green Valley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Paint/Pinto/Draft breeders who help with Paint/Pinto/Draft rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Green Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Comedian and actor Eric Sykes has died at the age of 89, following a short battle with illness.
He died this morning, July 4, his manager Norma Farnes confirmed. She added: "His family were with him."
One of the most influential figures in 20th century British comedy, Sykes was a performer, scriptwriter and director of immense talent. Tremendously prolific , despite a handicap of deafness, he rarely stopped working on stage and screen right up until his death.
His career encompassed over 50 years of television, film work and long running stage shows and he wrote for many of the great comedians of the day such as Frankie Howerd, Tony Hancock and Peter Sellers. Eric Sykes was born in Oldham on the May 4, 1923.
His early ambitions to be a comedian were thwarted by war service and he served as a wireless operator in the Mobile Signals Unit of the RAF from 1941-49. He did however entertain the troops and met such future stalwarts of comedy as Bill Fraser, Harry Secombe, Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers. On being demobbed he was befriended by Bill Fraser who asked him to write material for him and he also began to contribute to the BBC firstly for Variety Bandbox and then for the phenomenally successful series Educating Archie in 1954. This was the first writing collaboration between him and Spike Milligan and indirectly produced the Goon Show.
In one episode, Peter Brough and 'Archie' enter Goonland via a mousehole and encounter a fantastic adventure. This was entitled Archie in Goonland. Although Sykes was very much in demand as a scriptwriter he had his own radio series in the mid fifties and in 1955 signed a contract both as a writer and presenter of variety shows for the newly formed independent television company ATV.
By 1957, he had begun to develop hearing problems which would eventually make him almost totally deaf although he learned to lip read with great skill. He reached greater fame in 1960 when the BBC teamed him with Hattie Jacques as his sister ('Hat') in the series Sykes which was to run for 20 years until Jacques untimely death in 1980. The programme, which involved a series of domestic disasters, formed the basis of one of the most loved comedy partnerships in British comedy.
Sykes' film career had begun in 1954 with Orders are Orders and although leading roles in productions were sparse he did make scene stealing cameos over four decades. He was a hilarious Second World War conductor in Invasion Quartet (1962) and he was a delight in Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines (1966) and Monte Carlo or Bust (1970) in both of which he was teamed with Terry-Thomas. He appeared and directed The Plank (1968), the joyously inventive silent comedy about the misadventures of two builders delivering wood to a house. His co-star was Tommy Cooper.
Throughout the seventies he devoted much of his time to television where he made a number of one off specials for both ITV and BBC including The Eric Sykes Show, A Policeman's Lot and Sykes – With the Lid Off. He also toured the UK in the riotous production of Big Bag Mouse, a show that achieved a certain notoriety for the nightly ad-libbing between him and his co star Jimmy Edwards. The many tours ended with the death of Jimmy Edwards in 1988. In 1989 he appeared in the sitcom The Nineteenth Hole which he later toured as a stage show and many other appearances on television throughout the nineties culminating in a beautiful performance as Mollocks in the controversial Gormenghast (2000). He was the subject of the BBC's Heroes of Comedy and was much in demand on chats shows were he was regarded as the Senior Citizen of British Comedy.
His views however were straight forward and in 1978 he launched an attack on modern comedy, criticising aggressive comics, bad language and BBC bosses for rewarding mediocrity. "I'm proud of being a vaudevillian," he said at the age of 78, A lot of people think my entertainment is candy floss. Well, entertainment is too aggressive these days, all in your face. If comedian's want to make a social comment they can go to the House of Commons. I don't swear or do anything suggestive , and I've held on to that belief because when you are on stage you are a role model."
His appearances on stage during the nineties were numerous and demanding and the public flocked to see him not least for his immaculate timing. He appeared in Run for Your Wife, Two of a Kind, Fools Rush In, School for Wives, and he was hilarious in Caught in the Net as the senile father vaulting around on a zimmer frame.
Later films included The Boys in Blue (1983), Splitting Heirs (1993), and The Others (2001). He wrote several books including Sykes of Sebastopol Terrace, UFO's Are Coming Wednesday and Smelling of Roses.
He was appointed OBE in 1986, and a CBE in 2004. He died on July 4, 2012 and he is survived by three daughters and a son.

Game 62 Preview: Our Hudson River Rivals vs. The Good Guys – New Jersey Devils
New York Rangers (39-15-6, 84 points) vs. New Jersey Devils (35-22-4, 74 points)
TV: NBC Sports Network
Radio: WFAN 660 AM
Tonight will renew one of the best rivalries in the NHL. The Devils and Rangers always produce exciting games. The Devils own the all-time series lead, and lead this season's series, 2-1 so far. A Devils win tonight would mark the first time any NHL team defeated the Rangers three times this season. The Rangers won the first game of the season between the two teams at Prudential Center, 4-1 on December 20th. The Devils tried to cling to a 1-0 lead for most of the game after Travis Zajac scored his first of the season, but the Rangers scored three straight goals, plus an empty netter, all of which came in the late second period and third period. The Devils won the second meeting against the Rangers in a shootout on January 31st. Zach Parise scored in that game, and while trailing 2-1 and 3-2, Ilya Kovalchuk and David Clarkson both scored game-tying goals against Martin Biron in the final 5 minutes before winning in a shootout. The Devils also won the most recent meeting, 1-0 at Madison Square Garden. David Clarkson's first period power play goal was the difference, and Martin Brodeur recorded his first shutout of the season.
So, what will tonight's chapter of the Hudson River Rivalry give us?
Bump in the road:
After a 9-1-1 run out of the All-Star break, the Devils suffered their first back-to-back losses in regulation this past weekend, after falling 2-1 to Vancouver and 4-3 to Tampa Bay. The Devils didn't play poorly on Friday against the Canucks, but they couldn't produce enough offense at the right time. Cory Schneider also robbed the Devils of a second goal in that game. Yesterday was a more frustrating day for the Devils. Adam Larsson struggled in his first game back from injury, and Marek Zidlicky made his Devils debut, but they fell to the Lightning. Martin St. Louis was too much for the Devils to contain. He factored in the scoring of all four Tampa Bay goals, including his sixth career hat trick. The Devils have now surrendered hat tricks to Toronto's Joffrey Lupul and St. Louis this season. Ilya Kovalchuk has the Devils' lone hat trick this season.
Still, the Devils jumped out to a 5-0 record post-All-Star break before dropping games to St. Louis in a shootout and Florida. They followed that up by winning four straight games before their most recent hiccup. They've also gone 12-2-1 over their past 15 road games, despite struggling at home recently. The Devils are 9-3-1 since the All-Star break overall. Due to the Flyers and Penguins both winning their games over the weekend, the Devils fell to 6th in the Eastern Conference, but remain three points back of 4th place.
Carrying the weight:
Martin Brodeur saw his work load reduced at the beginning of the season, which was also partially due to minor injuries, but he's carried most of the load recently. Brodeur started Friday, as well as yesterday, and he starts again tonight at MSG. This will be the first time Brodeur has started back-to-back games all season. He's three wins shy of 650 for his career, which would obviously be a new record, as he's already the all-time wins leader.
The Devils have limited the opposition's chances in recent games. Brodeur only made 14 saves on Friday and 16 on Sunday. Brodeur allowed 4 goals on Sunday, which was the first time he had given up more than 3 in a game since January 4th against the Boston Bruins, when he gave up 6 goals. It was only the second time Brodeur gave up more than 3 goals in a game since November 30th, 2011.
Offensive depth:
The Devils are proving to be a very deep team this season. They have three solid lines that can match up against most opposing lines and three lines that can produce offense at any given time. Consider their third line right now (nicknamed "The Momentum Line" by Pete DeBoer and the "600-pound line" by Alexei Ponikarovsky): Ponikarovsky-Dainius Zubrus-Steve Bernier. Although Bernier only has 4 points with the Devils, including the primary assist on Petr Sykora's goal on Sunday, he's helped the third line become a dominating puck possession line. Zubrus has also recorded 12 points in the 13 games since the break. Ponikarovsky has put up 5 goals and 6 assists in 15 games as a Devil. That depth scoring has carried the Devils, as their top line has cooled off recently.
Although he continues to log assists, Ilya Kovalchuk has gone five straight games without a goal, following his first hat trick as a Devil. He hasn't scored a goal on his last 23 shots. Zach Parise, who had plenty of scoring chances against Tampa Bay on Sunday, did connect with the final shot he took. He hadn't scored on his past 20 shots. Parise and Kovalchuk's center, Adam Henrique, has hit a bit of a wall over his last couple games, going pointless and taking a minus-2 rating over the last two games. Meanwhile, Patrik Elias has also cooled off. He hasn't scored a goal in seven games. His 58 points are second on the team to Kovalchuk's 60. Petr Sykora has gotten back on track, recording seven points in his last eight games.
Rangers latest:
The Rangers continue to lead the Eastern Conference, yet much of the past few weeks have featured some significant trade rumors surrounding the Rangers. The most prominent name linked to New York has been Columbus captain Rick Nash. Ranger fans infamously mocked Nash after he scored a goal to tie the Blue Jackets-Rangers game in the dying seconds, chanting "We don't want you." Well, by the time this preview is up, the trade deadline will have passed, and barring something very dramatic, Nash won't be traded to the Rangers.
Marian Gaborik leads the Rangers in goals (29) and points (53) this season. His goal production has cooled off over the past few weeks. At one point in December, he was tied with Steven Stamkos for the league lead in goals, but Stamkos now has 43, which is 14 more than Gaborik's 29. The Rangers have also gotten plenty of offensive support from their defensemen, as Michael Del Zotto, Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi all have 20 points or more this season (in comparison, the Devils' highest scoring defenseman, Adam Larsson, has 16 points this season).
The Devils rank 12th in goals for, while the Rangers are right behind in 14th. The difference is, while the Devils rank 12th in goals against, the Rangers are the best defensive team in hockey, thanks to the previously mentioned defensemen plus Marc Staal, and perhaps the best goaltender on the planet right now: Henrik Lundqvist. It seems almost factual that Lundqvist will be this year's Vezina winner. The Devils will have their hands full, as always, trying to beat him.
New Jersey Devils' projected lineup (barring a last minute trade):
Parise – Henrique – Kovalchuk
Sykora – Elias – Clarkson
Ponikarovsky – Zubrus – Bernier
Carter – Josefson – Boulton
Salvador – Larsson
Greene – Fayne
Volchenkov – Zidlicky
Brodeur, Hedberg
New York Rangers' projected lineup:
Anisimov – Stepan – Gaborik
Hagelin – Richards – Callahan
Dubinsky – Boyle – Prust
Fedotenko – Mitchell – Rupp
McDonagh – Girardi
Del Zotto – Stralman
Staal – Bickell
Lundqvist, Biron

X-rays are invisible bundles of energy that pass through the body to create a picture of your child's bones and organs. For some areas being x-rayed, lead shields may be used to protect other parts of your child's body.
These exams are usually not painful, but require your child to keep still for a moment. Parents may be invited into the room while the x-rays are being taken to comfort and assist the child. If the child feels uncomfortable during the exam, let the technologist know. Patients do not feel the x-rays themselves.

Sidebar: Five decades of L.A.-area tragedies (external links section)
This piece has also been published by The Orange County Register and La Opinion.
Every day, students at the new Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools in Los Angeles will live history.
The $578 million school, which houses 4,200 students in kindergarten through the 12th grade, opened this fall on the site of the former Ambassador Hotel, steeped in Los Angeles history.
Opened in 1921, the hotel was an L.A. hotspot. It hosted six Academy Awards ceremonies. Hollywood's heavy hitters -- Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and others -- played at its famed Cocoanut Grove nightclub. Political powerhouses from the United States and abroad stayed there.
And in 1968, a young U.S. senator named Robert F. Kennedy met his death at the Ambassador, assassinated after delivering his acceptance speech in the California presidential primary.
It's one of the dozens of spots in Los Angeles that through the years have come to be known for its place in the city's darker history. If you dig deep enough, you will find an entire network exploring a more violent, morbid Los Angeles, one that follows the trail of celebrity murders, unsolved mysteries and famous crime scenes. Some of the sites have become memorialized, and in some cases, even are subject to public dispute for legal protection and preservation. In most cases, they are tourist attractions.
The list of such crime scenes goes on and on, including the steps outside the condominium on South Bundy Drive where the brutally murdered bodies of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found in 1994. Or the sidewalk in front of the Viper Room, where actor River Phoenix collapsed and died after a night of drug use 17 years ago this month. Or the bungalow at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard where actor John Belushi died in 1982 after injecting cocaine and heroin.
"I think that the fascination with murder is not unique to Los Angeles," said Dr. Karen Sternheimer, a professor in the department of sociology at the University of Southern California, "But there might be an enhanced interest because the city has been thought of as Eden-like and murder and assassination belie that image."
It is not surprising that people are fascinated with murder mysteries and scandalous crime scenes that make national news, especially in a city that is known for glory, fame, and prosperity, she said. But sometimes it becomes less about the crime and more about the crime scene.
There are tour companies that follow such gruesome tales of the city's past, such as the mystery of Elizabeth Short, known as "The Black Dahlia" after her death in 1947. One company, Dearly Departed Tours, bills its Tragical History Tour as a way to see "100 scenes of celebrity scandal and death…and scope out their locations where many celebrities took their last breaths" in just two and a half hours. An official at another tour company, Esotouric, explained that visiting the place makes the story of what happened come alive.
"Our crime tour guides are serious social historians who use the criminal history of the city as a lens through which to explore the history and culture of the place," said Kim Cooper of Esotouric.
A Dearly Departed Tours official suggests that people take the tours mainly out of curiosity.
"There aren't that many more taboos. Death was probably the last of them, and we still know so little about what happens afterward;" said Scott Michaels, founder of the Dearly Departed Tours. "Almost everyone has a curiosity for this sort of thing; some are just more comfortable with it. Some want to visit all these sites and don't have the time to search for themselves."
However, the intimacy between a crime and the space where it occurred can only suggest a deeper inevitability of association. Whether the sites are visited because of curiosity, respect or simply a desire to participate in a shared memory, the point remains that people do so by physically being at the scene of the crime.
"Well I think that any time someone becomes a celebrity, fans want to feel a little of that celebrity for themselves and want to be as close to that person as they can," said Chris Brown, information and marketing manager for the Petersen Automotive Museum. That was the last place rapper Notorious B.I.G visited before he died, shot just a short distance away after leaving a party there in 1997. "A lot of his fans feel a connection to the place he was at his last moment."
Sternheimer agreed that the reason for fixation on such locations of violence is the connection it offers and the ability to partake in a possible spiritual bond.
"Locations of assassinations or other high-profile acts of violence become sacred ground for many people," Sternheimer said. "… A last connection to the person or people, or in the case of RFK, ideals."
But what then becomes of a site when its morbid past - like the infamous home where actress Sharon Tate and friends were killed by the Manson Family in 1969 – is engraved into its very structural foundation? The Tate house, for example, was torn down and rebuilt in the 1990s after the current owner claimed in a magazine story that area residents who were tired of the curious trolling their street prompted the demolition. Even with the remodeled house barely resembling the original style, the property still remains labeled as the "Sharon Tate house" and will forever be referred to as such.
On the other hand, there were some who had a vision for the Ambassador Hotel as something so much more than the place where Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian immigrant, shot Kennedy on June 5, 1968.
After Kennedy's death, the Ambassador -- once the heart of Hollywood's Golden Age -- instantly became a mark of tragedy and pain. Slowly but surely the hotel was abandoned, forsaken and left to rot.
But Kennedy's memory resurfaced after the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) asked to turn the hotel into a public school. The Los Angeles Conservancy pushed to preserve the hotel and make it a historical landmark. Ultimately LAUSD won. As the debate lingered over whether RFK's memory would best be honored as a memorial or a school, the underlying fact remained constant that the site held justifiable historical significance and the memory of the assassination had to be confronted in one way or another.
The family of Robert Kennedy dealt delicately with the issue, saying they supported the decision to make the hotel into a school but was cautious about memorializing it as a landmark.
"The family was very clear they wanted the hotel torn down," said Jarad Sanchez, policy coordinator for The Alliance for a Better Community, one of the main community groups supporting the school. "The senator would have preferred to have a school on that site."
Los Angeles Unified School District, who bought the property, dedicated it to RFK to honor his life rather than his death.
"We now have a means to deal with education, housing and health for children and their parents. The school will serve as a basis for community development, change, and improvement. That was really what RFK was about," said Paul Schrade, former advisor to Kennedy who was there when the senator was shot. "The family was opposed to saving the hotel because it was such a tragedy… but thought a school would be appropriate."
So the Kennedy name -- and the ties to the Ambassador and Los Angeles' tragic history -- will live on. The story of June 1968 will continue to be told time and again. So will the stories of the others who died too young in Los Angeles.
"Why else would there be tours to places where celebrities die at if people didn't have an inherent need to feel as close as possible to person they are a fan of?" Brown said.
2010: Actor Corey Haim ("The Lost Boys") collapsed at his home at the Oakwood Apartments at 3600 Barham Blvd., between Burbank and Hollywood. Originally thought to be a drug overdose, it was ruled he died of pneumonia and heart problems. He was 38.

The article incorrectly states that "Kennedy's memory resurfaced after the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) asked to turn the hotel into a public school. The Los Angeles Conservancy was outraged and pushed to preserve the hotel and make it a historical landmark. Ultimately LAUSD won." In fact, the Los Angeles Conservancy very much wanted to see a school on the site. The difference was that we wanted the district to reuse the iconic hotel building as a school rather than tear it down and build the pseudo-replica that's there now. Using the historic hotel as a school would have provided a truly unique and inspirational learning environment. But the district wasn't interested.

Synacthen stimulation test
Last updated: Friday, 26, March, 2004
MBS Online Search Page: Click here for details
Item | Process |
Specimen | 5 mL blood in EDTA for cortisol and possible ACTH assays, prior to a dose of 250 µg aqueous Synacthen given by IMI. Further samples are collected at 30 and 60 minutes: 5 mL blood in plain, lithium heparin or EDTA tube for cortisol. |
Method | |
Reference Interval | Plasma cortisol: a baseline (pre-Synacthen) or Post-Synacthen cortisol of >550 nmol/L or more excludes adrenal atrophy indicating a normal response, but does not necessarily indicate that there will be an adequate cortisol response to severe stress. |
Application | Investigation of suspected primary or secondary adrenocortical insufficiency. Assessment of possible adrenal suppression/atrophy due to steroid therapy. |
Interpretation | Failure to respond indicates adrenal insufficiency. If basal ACTH is elevated this suggests primary adrenal failure. Rarely, the test may be done after 3 days of priming the adrenal cortex with 1 mg depot Synacthen daily. This allows differentiation between primary adrenocortical failure (no response) and secondary adrenocortical failure. |
