Plugging away at her new show, Sarah Michelle Gellar was spotted on the Los Angeles, CA set of "Ringer" on Friday (July 22).
The "Scooby Doo" actress looked cute and casual in black leggings and an off-the-shoulder top as she worked on a variety of scenes.
Taking her promotional duties to the annual event, Sarah Michelle Gellar was on-hand at the San Diego Convention Center for Comic-Con 2011 yesterday (July 21).
The 34-year-old "Buffy" beauty took to the panel discussion for her new show "Ringer," alongside co-stars Kristoffer Polaha, Ioan Gruffudd and Nestor Carbonell.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Spending some quality mother/daughter bonding time, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Charlotte were spotted out for a stroll in Brentwood, CA on Sunday (July 10).
She's all set to make a triumphant return to the small screen, and Sarah Michelle Gellar was front and center at the 2011 Critics' Choice Television Awards in Beverly Hills on Monday (June 20).
Held at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the "Buffy" babe doled out the trophy for Best Comedy Series while also spending time mingling with new co-star Ioan Gruffudd and the lovely Cat Deeley in the backstage area.
Making her way back to nighttime television, an extended preview for Sarah Michelle Gellar's new show "Ringer" has just been released.
The CW show centers around Bridget Cafferty, who is on the run from the mob and thinks she's in the clear by pretending to be her wealthy twin sister before realizing there's a price on her sister's head too.
Stepping out for a morning coffee run, Sarah Michelle Gellar was spotted out in Santa Monica, CA on Tuesday morning (May 17).
The "Buffy" babe looked rather serious as she sipped on her iced beverage while at one point holding it over her face to avoid the on-hand paparazzi cameras.
Traveling with her tot in tow, Sarah Michelle Gellar and adorable daughter Charlotte arrived on a flight at LAX airport on Monday evening (April 4).
The "Buffy" beauty and her baby girl donned similar cute and casual outfits, both sporting fun, flowy tops, black leggings and mid-calf leather boots.

Say what you will about Katniss, but we think that Ariana Grande is the real girl on fire. Ariana rocked Rockefeller Center during the famous tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 4, performing one of her hit songs and a classic Christmas hit!
Ariana Grande, 20, is owning it this holiday season. First "The Way" singer dazzled the frozen Macy's Thanksgiving Parade crowd with her rendition of "Last Christmas," then she stunned at the Jingle Ball in Dallas on Dec. 2. But we think her performance at the 81st annual Rockefeller tree lighting was her best outing yet!
Ariana Grande's Performance At 'Christmas in Rockefeller Center'
Ariana looked absolutely stunning as she braved the cold at New York's Rockefeller Center, performing her hit "Love is Everything" and the holiday classic "Last Christmas." She showed off her amazing voice, and of course stunning look. She rocked an adorable green cape with red tights! We couldn't get enough.
The star-studded holiday special was hosted by Today anchors Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Natalie Morales, and also featured performances from Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Goo Goo Dolls, Jewel, Leona Lewis, Audra McDonald and The Rockettes.
The annual tree lighting has been a tradition since the Depression, so we're so happy for Ariana that she was able to be a part of it! You go, girl!
Who Gave The Best Performance?
Obviously, we're in love with Ariana's performance of "Love is Everything" and "Last Christmas", and the adorable holiday cape she sported for the occasion. Her hair was pulled back in her classic half-up do, but for some reason we never get sick of seeing it on her!
But who did YOU like best, HollywoodLifers? And who won best dressed? Let us know in the comments!

The Incredible Corpse brings zombie style stealth, action, and puzzling gameplay to iOS this November. It's about alien invaders who have taken all of the Earth's brains. So obviously they took out the humans with no issue. However, it's not so easy when it comes to dealing with zombies and the Incredible Corpse as he's on a mission to retrieve all brains and bring an end to all aliens!
"Everyone at Eyes Wide Games is a pop culture geek and the idea of combining some of our favorite genres: zombies, super heroes, secret agents, aliens and The King was just so deliciously ridiculous an idea that we knew we had to make this game," Stephen Griffin, CEO, Eyes Wide Games, explains. "Once gamers try The Incredible Corpse, they will want to be super dead too."

CIs: unstandardized vs. standardized

Structural Equation Modeling

Dear Dr. Muthen.
I am running a path analysis and I have requested estimates of specific indirect effects. For one of my indirect pathways, the unstandardized estimate is significant (the 95% confidence interval does not contain zero), but the standardized estimate is NOT significant (the 95% confidence interval DOES contain zero). I obtained the standardized confidence interval from the section of output labelled "Confidence intervals of standardized total, total indirect, specific indirect, and direct effects." I was under the impression that standardized estimates are merely in a different metric than unstandardized estimates and that standardization should not change the level of significance of the estimate. Could you please advise me as to why my results differ when I look at the standardized CIs? Thank you very much for your time.

The ratio or the parameter estimate to its standard error and therefore confidence interval can differ slightly for raw and standardized coefficients. The standardized standard errors are not rescaled raw standard errors. See
Standardized Coefficients and Their Standard Errors
on the website under Technical Appendices.

Thank you Dr. Muthen for your prompt response, which was very helpful. I am now curious whether you would recommend reporting the unstandardized or the standardized solution, given that they provide a different pattern of results.
Thank you.

I would go with the unstandardized SEs and CIs (but you can still report the standardized parameter point estimates). But I would assume that the CIs are not very different so that significance in the unstandardized case means that the CI barely excludes zero - in which case I wouldn't make a big deal out of that significance.
posted on Saturday, September 20, 2014 - 9:41 am
I Regressed a binary y on a latent continuous x.The unstandardized estimate is significant yet standardized is not. Which estimate shall I Report? I wonder why the standardized is not significant. Is it due to the fact that I have categorical data that is skewed, and SE is larger?
Here are values:
Unstandardized Estimate S.E. Est./S.E. p-Value
y on x -0.488 0.241 -2.020 0.043
STDYX Estimate S.E. Est./S.E. p-Value
y on x -0.239 0.328 -0.726 0.468

Unstandardized and standardized versions of estimated coefficients have different sampling distributions. This means that the normality assumption of the estimate assumed by the usual z-score test can be better approximated in one version or the other. Significance testing using z-scores can therefore have different outcomes for the two versions.
One way to check the distribution of the estimated coefficient is to do Bayesian estimation and looking at the posterior distribution. The version that best approximates normality presumably has the most trustworthy z-score. With Bayes estimation, the normality assumption of the estimates is not needed and the 95% credibility interval is trustworthy for both versions.
posted on Saturday, September 20, 2014 - 2:49 pm
Thank you very much for the Explanation! I did Bayesian estimation in the one Group Analysis and it worked. I am also interested in a multiple Group Analysis and check the standardized coefficient. The System suggested me to specify KNOWNCLASS and Type = mixture. I tried but got an error.
This analysis is only available with the Mixture or Combination Add-On.
Would you kindly give me a hint how this can be done in multiple Group Analysis? I do not have much experience with mixture models or bayes. So I just checked the mplus material on bayes (the 2011 short course) and did the test. Thank you!
Syntax is attached:
x med mod y
KNOWNCLASS = mod (1=js 2=ijs);
CATEGORICAL = y;

It sounds like you don't have the mixture or combination add-on. You would need that to do this.

Daniel Mendoza (5 July 1764[1] – 3 September 1836) (often known as Dan Mendoza) was an English prizefighter, who was boxing champion of England 1792–95.
Contents |
Before Mendoza, boxers generally stood still and merely swapped punches. Mendoza's style consisted of more than simply battering opponents into submission; his "scientific style" included much defensive movement. He developed an entirely new style of boxing, incorporating defensive strategies, such as what he called "side-stepping", moving around, ducking, blocking, and, all in all, avoiding punches. At the time, this was revolutionary, and Mendoza was able to overcome much heavier opponents as a result of this new style. Though he stood only 5'7" and weighed only 160 pounds, Mendoza was England's sixteenth Heavyweight Champion from 1792 to 1795, and is the only middleweight to ever win the Heavyweight Championship of the World. In 1789 he opened his own boxing academy and published the book The Art of Boxing on modern "scientific" style boxing which every subsequent boxer learned from.
Mendoza was so popular that the London press reported news of one of his bouts ahead of the storming of the Bastille which marked the start of the French Revolution. He transformed the English stereotype of a Jew from a weak, defenceless person into someone deserving of respect. He is said to have been the first Jew to talk to the King, George III.
His early boxing career was defined by three bouts with his former mentor Richard Humphries between 1788 and 1790. The first of these was lost due to Humphries' second (the former Champion, Tom Johnson) blocking a blow. The second two bouts were won by Mendoza. The third bout set history in another way. It was the first time spectators were charged an entry payment to a sporting event. The fights were hyped by a series of combative letters in the press between Humphries and Mendoza.
Mendoza's memoirs report that he got involved in three fights whilst on his way to watch a boxing match. The reasons were: (a) someone's cart cut in; (b) he felt a shopkeeper was trying to cheat him; (c) he didn't like how a man was looking at him.
In 1795 Mendoza fought "Gentleman" John Jackson for the Championship at Hornchurch in Essex. Jackson was five years younger, 4 inches taller, and 42 lbs. heavier. The bigger man won in nine rounds, paving the way to victory by seizing Mendoza by his long hair and holding him with one hand while he pounded his head with the other. Mendoza was pummelled into submission in around ten minutes. Since this date boxers have worn their hair short.
After 1795 Mendoza began to seek other sources of income, becoming the landlord of the "Admiral Nelson" pub in Whitechapel. He turned down a number of offers for re-matches and in 1807 wrote a letter to The Times in which he said he was devoting himself chiefly to teaching the art. In 1809 he and some associates were hired by the theatre manager Kemble in an attempt to suppress the OP Riots; the resulting poor publicity probably cost Mendoza much of his popular support, as he was seen to be fighting on the side of the privileged.
Mendoza made and spent a fortune. His Memoirs (written in 1808 but not published until 1816) report that he tried a number of ventures, including touring the British Isles giving boxing demonstrations; appeared in a pantomime entitled Robinson Crusoe or Friday Turned Boxer; opening a boxing academy at the Lyceum in the Strand; working as a recruiting sergeant for the army; printing his own paper money; and being a pub landlord.
Mendoza made his last public appearance as a boxer in 1820 at Banstead Downs in a grudge match against Tom Owen; he was defeated after 12 rounds.
Intelligent, charismatic but chaotic, he died at the age of 72, leaving his family in poverty.
In 1954 Mendoza was elected to the Boxing Hall of Fame.
In 1990 he was inducted into the inaugural class of the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Mendoza, who was Jewish, was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1981.[2]
Mendoza was born in Aldgate in July 1764 to Abraham Mendoza (1731–1805) and Esther Lopez (1731–1813) and was of Sephardi Jewish descent. He was the third son of seven children: Benvenida (1752–1784, Aaron (1754–1759), Isaac (1758-), Sarah (1760-), Raphael (1772-) and Miriam (1774-).
In May 1787 he married Esther and they had nine children: Abraham, Sophia, Isabella, Daniel, Jesse, Louisa, Aaron, Isaac and Matilda.
His ancestors had been in Spain and Italy in the centuries prior.
The Mendoza family has a large range of descendants in many countries including England, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, America, Philippines and Israel. Radio presenter Mike Mendoza and Phillip Mendoza are descendants of Daniel Mendoza. Actor Peter Sellers is descended from one of Mendoza's cousins, and is not one of his descendants as previously stated.[citation needed] The 1st Marquess of Reading is descended from his sister Sarah (1760-) who married Michael Isaacs; their younger son Joseph Michael Isaacs was father of Rufus Daniel Isaacs, who became Lord Reading.[3]
A play about Mendoza, "The Punishing Blow," by Randy Cohen, debuted in 2009.[4]
A Conspiracy of Paper, a novel by David Liss, includes a fictional character inspired by Mendoza (author's note).
Mendoza features as a character in Rodney Stone, a Gothic mystery and boxing novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Mendoza is a minor character in T. Coraghessan Boyle's 1982 novel, "Water Music".
The boxer appears in Will Eisner's 2003 graphic novel, "Fagin the Jew".

Borscht Film Festival Defends Dade
The fest was punctuated with Coral Morphologic's underwater moments of zen. |
The festival shakes off Miami's "insipid exterior" (as they phrase it) by featuring the real 305 -- the one that pisses you off, stuns you, and fills you with pride. This Miami is not all sea shells, mojitos, and nights spent at Mansion. As one of the filmmakers, Barry Jenkins, told us in this week's feature story, someone growing up in a neighborhood like Liberty City can probably count on one hand the number of times he or she has been to the beach. Borscht shorts scrape beneath our city's Deco-pink layer of paint.
Photos by Ciara Osorio |
Piratas |
In the first short Piratas, a West Miami resident recounts a hilarious only-in-Miami tale about two Cuban pirates who tried to steal his boat. It's an improbable story involving underwear, rifles, and vigilantes on jet skis. Next, clips featuring director Werner Herzog are spliced together to reveal a hearty defense of Dade: "I know they see Miami, they think beach, palm trees, lights -- that's why we call it the Magic City. But once you cross the bridge, it's a whole 'nother life." And then Macro Ramirez's A Toast, an ode to Miami read over images of our strange city, invoked nostalgic serenity for busted-up Botanica storefronts.
Heptalogy: The Get Out |
But last night, we weren't just proud and inspired, we were entertained. Crowd favorites included the wonderfully whimsical Otto and the Electric Eel, the insanity of I Am Your Grandma (read more about Jillian Mayer's work here), La Pageant Diva (Black Swan meets The Birdcage), Correctamundo (a sort of black comedy Benny Hill via Telemundo) and of course, The Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke (which the crowd began chanting for as soon as the house lights went down at 8:30 p.m.).
We enjoyed the narratives and visuals of Bird Watchers and Play Dead, although both felt like working cuts and not final films. Chorophyl, Barry Jenkins's short about a woman in the midst of a break-up, lacked the smart dialogue of his feature-length Medicine for Melancholy and was perhaps too meditative for last night's raucous crowd. (Plus, afterward, we were overwhelmed with a hankering for something called BeachedMiami.com. How strange.)
Come to think of it, there was a hell of a lot of product placement in the shorts from Luke Campbell's honeys cradling 2 liters of 7-Up against their breasts to canines taking a break from the zombie apocalypse to watch a commercial for Dog Bar in Play Dead. And although it was beautifully shot, With Me seemed like a 12-minute commercial for Oreos. Was this social commentary a la the Greatest Movie Ever Sold? Or was it just a way wrestle up more funding?
So which of the 23 shorts has the legs to rep Miami in the Cannes, Sundance, and Tribeca festival circuits? We keep thinking about Barry Jenkins's Chorophyl, Lucas Leyva's Heptalogy series (two installments of which screened last night), and Waverly Film's Otto and the Electric Eel. If you were among the thousands in attendance last night, leave a comment and let us know which film you think could be a contender in the international film scene.
See the full slideshow here.

Autonomous University of Social Movements
The Autonomous University of Social Movements is a unique organizing/education project dedicated to the theory, practice and context of community organizing. Grounded in a commitment to developing effective strategies for profound social change, AUSM (pronounced "awesome") is based in the Albany Park Autonomous Center and inspired by living social movements in Chicago, Havana, Mexico City, Chiapas and Tlaxcala. Student praxis involves development of strong critical theoretical foundations tested against and refined during daily participation in living social movements at the Centro Autónomo, around Chicago, and in Mexico. AUSM projects include:
• The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee offers a master's degree in the Cultural Foundations of Education with a concentration in Community Organizing and Popular Education that is undertaken at the Centro Autónomo. Students enrolled in this program live, complete a majority of coursework, and do their practicums in Albany Park, Chicago and take one online class with UWM per semester. (more)
• Our study program in Mexico is carried out in partnership with the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana in Mexico City, and Hampshire College and the State Universities of New York. Spring and Fall semesters are 13-week, 16-credit programs. Summer semesters are 6-weeks, 8-credit programs. (more)
• In partnership with the Centro Memorial Martin Luther King Jr in Havana, AUSM offers a 16-credit program focused on the history, culture, and politics of Cuba. Students live with families in the historic Afro-Cuban barrio of Pogoloti, about 20 minutes from downtown Havana. The program includes intensive Spanish and academic classes taught by some of Cuba's leading academics from the University of Havana and non-governmental organizations. Cultural events and experiential learning opportunities make for an exciting semester. AUSM is a licensed Cuba educational program provider. (more)
• Our bi-national research program matches students with Mexican social movements. Students volunteer for a semester, working directly with living social movements while carrying out original research for a senior, masters or doctoral thesis. The program is recognized by the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana as a Diplomado, considered the equivalent of half a masters program in Mexico. (more)
• Our bilingual adult high school, launched in September of 2010, offers Latino immigrants who didn't finish high school in their home countries the opportunity to complete their studies in the Albany Park Autonomous Center.

@Malka: You're right, you shouldn't use a rusty pan to cook with. One of the reasons that cast iron cookware can last whole generations is that if it gets rusty, you can always re-season it!
To do this, first you heat the pan up (not too much -- you need to be able to handle it), then scrub all rust and any crustiness off with a wire scrub and hot water. Don't use soap, and dry it off immediately so that it doesn't rust again. After you've washed and dried the pan, you can use the same method for seasoning cast iron that I described in my first comment. Hope that helps!

Updated: Ed Boon confirmed that MKX would have new characters, game modes, and an all new graphics engine in a recent statement.
Mortal Kombat has always been about over-the-top, visceral fighting and with Mortal Kombat X we wanted to utilize the power of new-gen consoles to give players our most intense game yet. The team has worked hard to make sure Mortal Kombat X delivers everything fans expect along with new characters, new game modes and an all new graphics engine.
The official PlayStation YouTube channel uploaded the Mortal Kombat 10 announcement trailer today, but they included some previously unknown details in the clip's description.
Most notably that Mortal Kombat 10 will have multiple variations of each character, and that feature will change the strategy and fighting style of the combatants.
The last major detail is that the game features a "persistent online contest," where apparently every battle is logged as part of some ranking system.
Updated: Warner Bros. confirmed that Mortal Kombat X would be released on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in 2015, which backs up the Amazon UK listing we previously posted.

Updated: Ed Boon has updated his personal Twitter account with the same phrase, "Who's next?" shown in the poster, and also the new MK logo as well.
I don't suppose there's anything I can do to make you think we still MIGHT be announcing Injustice 2 in #five days is there.....?
— Ed Boon (@noobde) May 29, 2014
Earlier today, a poster surfaced over on the Xbox One sub-Reddit that shows a heavily battered spinal cord with the re-stylized Mortal Kombat dragon logo at the bottom. Hit the jump to check it out.
While we received the full list of changes to characters who are transitioning from Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition v2012 into Ultra Street Fighter 4 yesterday, but there are still four characters who are already out in the arcade version and they, too, are receiving multiple balance changes for the console version hitting in two weeks.
While we've seen a full change-log of the Arcade release of Ultra Street Fighter 4 before, it's come to many people's attention that additional changes are being made to the console version prior to its release.
According to sources close to the situation, YouTube is preparing to acquire the Twitch.TV video streaming service for $1 billion, and both parties have agreed to it, Variety is reporting.
While experimenting with an approximation of Ryu's new move properties in Ultra Street Fighter 4 through the KingBlackToof SSF4 AE v2012 PC mod, YouTube user XMikexSonicX has discovered a reset combo that may raise a few eyebrows.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)China's economic growth at 7.5 percent down from last year
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
July 15th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) After several years of almost unimaginable economic growth in China, analysts say that authorities now seem ready to accept a slower pace of expansion. The nation's economic growth slowed in the April to June period, the second straight quarter of weaker expansion. In other words, one of the world's biggest economic powerhouses has slowed down to 7.5 percent as compared to 7.7 percent this same time last year. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The figures were in line with analyst expectations, saying that weak trade data and actions by authorities reining in bank lending contributed to the slower growth."As of now, China's gross domestic product has been staying under 8 percent for five straight quarters, a clear sign of distress," economist Ren Xianfang from IHS Global Insight says. "The rather sharp growth deceleration and the recent financial market turmoil indicate that risks have been building on both the financial and real goods sector." The government has set a target of 7.5 percent growth for the whole of 2013. This could translate to the lowest rate of expansion in more than two decades. Companies that sell to China may see revenues suffer. Nations such as Australia, Brazil and others in South East Asia have seen huge profits in recent years because of Chinese demand for natural resources. In the meantime, the fall in demand from China has already had an impact on the prices of many commodities. China's Finance Minister Lou Jiwei indicated last week that economic growth could be 7 percent for the year, and that this may not be the "bottom line." Xinhua news agency later corrected its report, saying Lou had said economic growth would be 7.5 percent, in line with government targets. Some analysts are questioning whether China's growth rate might dip still further later in the year. Other data released this week showed growth in factory output had slowed to 9.3 percent for the first half of the year, down 0.2 percent from the first three months of the year. It is evident that China's economic growth is slowing, well below the monumental 10 percent average that the country has experienced for the last three decades. The pattern continues in the new headline figures which show GDP in the second quarter compared to what it was a year earlier. China's National Bureau of Statistics has also published figures comparing with previous quarter. These figures showed growth of 1.7 percent in the second quarter, which would be about seven percent if it continued for a whole year. China's data are often criticized as unreliable. The international community will have to get used to China growing at a more moderate, and perhaps more sustainable pace. Growth in investment in factories and other fixed assets also eased. "Further deceleration is possible if reforms and stimulus measures are delayed," Alistair Chan of Moody's Analytics said in a report. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

MLB: Josh Hamilton ALLEGEDLY had a relapse. But here's the thing - I was under the impression that stuff like this was supposed to be...Read More
Quiet indeed....That's what you're getting from me in regards to the NFL...Last week I said I was done, and I really did mean it...The NFL's abuse of those who tried to bring CTE to light was horrible enough...This Ray Rice shit was totally fucked...Then Adrian Peterson whipping the hell out of one of 4 year old kids, from one of the countless women he has impregnated...Then Jonathan Dwyer breaks his baby's momma's nose and also got some shots in on the 18 month old...I'm not calling for a boycott...I'm not asking you to join me...Fuck it...Do what you want...This is just me taking a personal stand...And to show you how much I mean it, my pal Sully texted me while I was at work Sunday, asking why my fantasy roster was empty? I mean what I say...The NFL will get none of my time or money...
Luckily, working Thursday nights, all day Sunday, and Monday nights makes it easy to ignore the pricks...And yes, I know not all NFL players are evil...But enough clearly are, along with the evil commish, his underlings, and a number of owners...So they can eat my ass!
I did take in some football Friday night...My daughter has always liked going to our local high school football games...She loves the band, and hanging with her friends...The football team is often smaller, slower, and less skilled then their opponents...And often out-coached...But Friday nights in the Fall, in Brooklyn, Ohio is Marching Band night....Football is just an excuse...
Each home game they march from the high school, down to the Stadium...
Then after the Hurricanes Football Team goes down 34-0 by halftime, the Marching Band bangs out a 4 song set...This night they ended with "Whiter Shade of Pale"...
They continue to have a blast and play in the stands, even with their team getting drilled 41-7...Then, with their police escort, they do the same, fun, upbeat march back to the school...(I haven't uploaded that video yet...A little too dark anyways)
It's good to see kids having fun, and not getting too worked up over their football team getting thumped...My buddy was disappointed in the football game...He felt our brand new tax-payer funded turf should have improved our team, not everyone else...I've just grown accustom to the bad football.
-Moving along...Have you seen this new Derek Jeter Gatorade commercial?
I haven't...I keep seeing it posted on blogs, and facebook...People are talking about it...But I won't watch it...WHY? you ask...Because fuck Derek Jeter! He's a Yankee! What, he's retiring, so now I'm suppose to like him...Fuck that, he's a Yankee....Sorry folks, before ESPN made sure we all knew Boston hated New York, there was this magical time when the Indians were in the same division as the Yankees...As a matter of fact, the Yankees were everyone's biggest rival, because they were the fucking Yankees! I hated those guys long before Varitek mooshed his glove in A-Roid's face...
Yes, Derek Jeter has never been implicated in any PED talk...He's always played hard...He's a good ball player...He was a good hitter...Quick making him out to be Honus Wagner, or Ty Cobb...He was nowhere close...He wasn't even Pete Rose with the bat...And no, he wasn't the greatest Shortstop ever...He had a solid glove...I can give you a laundry list of better gloved SS's...He was a good player....I see no need for this idiotic swing on Jeter's nuts parade that has gone on all year...This shit happened last year with Rivera and it drove me crazy...The only slight difference is, you could actually say that Rivera was possibly the best at what he did...Jeter wasn't...
Jeter has great at banging hot women...I'll give him props for that...Dude slayed all kinds of hot puss...But all you high moral, religious Jeter fans better rethink things...Jeter is s serial fornicator!
Fucking guy goes around the league and all these other teams are giving him gifts, ans swinging on his balls....FUCK THAT! He's rich as hell, he doesn't need your shitty gifts...He probably fucked your wife...Go out there and strike him out...Slide into second with your spikes up...That's how you honor the fucking Yankee!
Eat my ass Jeter!
That's it for now...I need to find some one to really eat my ass...
Have a week...
The Beeze.
You know what I hate? I hate when I have to hit the head after eating spicy food,
That and saying nice things about guys who work for the competition.
Peyton Manning has been playing for, what? 16-17 years?, and hes still got that fire in his gut. Hes a passionate guy and when you knock his favorite receiver out of a pre-season game with a concussion, hes coming after you. He gets up in DJ Swearingers face for an illegal hit, concussing Welker and hes wearing Mannings temper tantrum as a badge of honor? Thats not cool.
All the news about the Rams/Brown tilt was Michael Sam sacking Johnny Football, but apparently what was missed was Sam Bradford tearing his ACL and heading out for the season. Oops. Hes making a pretty good salary for a guy thats not actually doing anything think about it, how many other guys do you know who get hurt at work and wind up fired? Certainly they dont get a $12MM salary.
On Saturday the Yankees the hated Yankees retired Joe Torres number. Torre, who was the captain of the team who basically terrorized the Red Sox, was never anything other than a class act. Actually, the reason I have such a hard time hating on the Yankees is that theyre so damned professional in part as the legacy Torre left. Ruthlessly efficient. I think thats probably one good reason people hate the Patriots. The organization does the right thing and they have the right people in the right place. The fact they have gobs of money behind them doesnt hurt, but given the Sox recent history Im not allowed to complain about buying championships, but let me just ask who wouldnt want to work for an organization willing to pay you what you think youre worth in your job?
Albert Ebosse is a name you probably havent heard before. Hes a striker, or forward, for an Algerian soccer team. He died Saturday night after being hit in the head by a rock thrown from the stands in his teams home stadium. He was 24 years old, and had actually scored the teams goal in a 2-1 loss. Just random happenstance that he should be hit, never mind die from being hit. Consider this now, this could be ANYONE.
Throwing that homerun ball back doesnt seem so innocuous does it? I did a google search athletes killed for losing. Turns out North Korea sends Olympic losers off to prison camps, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein did some pretty horrible things to losers, but I couldnt find anything to compare to this. Maybe Andreas Escobar, about whom I wrote a little bit this summer, but this was just a random act. Escobar cost someone a bunch of money because the Columbian team lost. This guy actually scored. He shouldve been the one bright spot for the local fans. That would be like David Ortiz taking one off the melon because the Sox lost, even though he hit his 400th homerun in a Sox uniform.
So, there was this:
Yankees pitcher Micheal Pineda said it was dirt but high definition had a different view. Pine tar has become one of the popular go-to adhesives pitchers use to improve their grip, but it appears for this type of cheating, baseball is willing to look the other way. In this game Thursday night, Red Sox fans were beside themselves with the observation of the pine tar on Pineda's hand, but the players on the Red Sox?...not so much. Big Papi dismissed the "cheating" episode as no big deal and the umpires could not be bothered nor apparently will MLB take any action even in the face of such compelling visual evidence.
Certain forms of cheating have a bit of a romantic place in baseball history...that is non-PED cheating that is. That form of cheating still brings a visceral response from most baseball fans...who is the rightful home run king, Bonds or Aaron? That can set off a lively bar debate, but bring up Gaylord Perry, who is in the Hall of Fame and you might get a whole different debate. Pitches still use a variety of substances from the afore mentioned pine tar to an interesting concoction of Bull Frog sunscreen mixed with rosin...a popular grip enhancement used around the major leagues. Other ball modifications include various methods of scuffing the ball from sandpaper to belt buckles to catchers equipement. The most obvious move today which used to be a clear no-no was putting fingers to the mouth...now a routine move by pitchers. It is interesting to note that the spitball used to be legal. In fact, it was such an advantage, no pitcher of any value took the mound without being able to throw one...this in the the early 1900's. By around 1917, there were too many head injuries from beanings due to the spitter and it was banned. Obviously it did not hold or Gaylord Perry might not have 300 wins...so while no pitcher today that I know of throws the classic spitball, it is clear that the art of pitching still includes a little doctoring of the ball...and isn't that just part of baseball's charm?!
And some other news...
While my friends from Detroit get to celebrate 23 consecutive years in the playoffs including multiple Cup runs, the Capitals modest 7 year run is over coming up just a few points shy of what was needed. There seems to be plenty of blame to go around...Ovechkin's defense or lack thereof, Mike Green's defense or lack thereof, Adam Oates coaching style (the Caps have played about 50 games under Oates where they have scored 2 goals or less...they have won 1 of those games, none in '13-'14...there's a stat for you). For me, I put the blame on the ownership for allowing George McPhee to continue as GM for almost 20 years with no championships and no title appearance since 1997. Ovechkin has not had one playoff run with a true championship goalie or a dominant shut-down defenseman, two key Cup ingredients. It was reported in the news this week that player agents hate McPhee putting the Caps out of the running for premium talent before the bidding even starts. Time for some changes here in DC.
Well, I am going to enjoy some beautiful spring weather, hit some golf balls and then relax and watch Bubba try to grab a second Green Jacket this weekend...hope you have a great weekend too!
Oh Thursday
Opening day of the MLB season has passed us by and we are officially into the 2014 season. The Red Sox left 12 men on base and lost 2-1 to Baltimore, The Yankees ace CC Sabathia lost to the juggernaut from Houston formally known as the Lastros
The weather is starting to cooperate and this old coot is a happy man.I have been waiting all winter to have my morning joe on my deck with my bride no better way to start the day.
The tribute to the 2 Boston Firefighters that died in the Back Bay blaze last week was fitting for the hero first responders they were. Our prayers and support go out to those the left behind.
MLB week one found The Red Sox taking in the Obama Whitehouse visit, David Ortiz took a selfie with the Prez and Obama managed to mispronounce Mike Napolis last name. Jonny Gomes was the hero of the day for me, he wore his American Flag blazer and was a big hit at Walter Reed Hospital visiting and entertaining the wounded and maimed heroes of our military.
Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers received a standing ovation his first time up before the home town fans. Having served a 65 game suspension for cheating it seems the Milwaukee fans say all is forgiven and all is forgotten.
Ryans first road test of his forgiveness is in the unfriendly confines of Fenway Park, Boston MA on Friday.
Fenway and Boston fans generally dont pass up an opportunity to rake some deserving villain over the coals and Ryan fits the bill.
Over the years a lot of folks have been booed in Boston
President Obama was booed on April 21, 2012 when he appeared on the big screen on Fenways 100th birthday the generally Democratic Boston doesnt have much love for OB
On August 16, 2013 the Fenway fans turned there attention to notorious steroid user Alex Rodriguez.
On July 26th 2004 presidential hopeful MA Senator John Kerry got roundly booed by the Fenway faithful when he walked out about 35 from home plate and threw out the first pitch. As Crash Davis would have said it was some weak ass shit as it bounced twice and rolled by home plate.
Not everybody liked George W. Bush but everyone has to admit that that guy threw some nasty stuff when he threw out first pitches and they were from the rubber.
Roger Clemens has been booed in Fenway as well as notorious wife beater
Brett Myers, he took heat all night long from the fans for his public assault on his wife on a sidewalk in Boston.
So watch closely and listen up because the Fenway fans will be cold and damp and just waiting to pounce on Braun
NFL update .
The Steelers signed former Patriots bulldozer LeGarrett Blount to a two year deal.
Blount had a decent season for the Pats but Belichick doesnt pay RBs so Pittsburgh get a bruiser.
Tom Brady and Drew Bledsoe made it into the elite eight QBs all time bracket challenge.
DeSean Jackson is a free agent having been cut by the Eagles. He is a dynamic game changer and a troublesome character for most locker rooms to have to deal with. It looks like the Redskins are in the front of the line close to signing Jackson.
NHL, my Bruins continue to roll
Tukka Rask stopped 60 shots on Sunday vs the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4-3 shootout win.
The Toronto Maple leafs dropped there 8th in a row hosers
NBA .ok nothing more to say than the Sixers lost 26 consecutive games and are still not the worst team in the battle for the most ping pong balls and that would be the Bucks.
In other news: obamacare still doesnt work. the Russians are still moving forward trying to rebuild the Soviet Union by taking back their neighbors under the guise of protecting Russians in those countries...sound like another notorious past leader...named Hitler?. The Indonesian flight 370 is still lost (I still think it is in Pakistan or Iran) The cold and harsh winter is being blamed on global warming. The Keystone pipeline is still being stopped by the liberals that want the USA to be a third world nation and want you to pay $6 bucks a gallon for gasoline and home heating oil. Syrias government is still killing its citizens, Israel is still being strong armed into peace talks with Palestine even though the Palestinians wont recognize Israels right to exist and shoot whenever they get a chance. The US is still borrowing money from China and then giving it and our tax dollars to all but 9 countries on the planet.
I am one grouchy sob today
But Spring has sprung so cheer up harry and take the classic '88 Sportster for a ride
Thanks for reading and commenting, check out Lanz right over there just North of Boston
Sorry I just cant hold it in anymore. While TheBeezer, IhateMillen and other Red Sox fans have outstanding blogs, not just on the Red Sox, but on other topics as well, they should be commended for that. What I am writing about is IHateMillen lit a match in me that was started by TheBeez and other Red Sox fans.
Red Sox fans are very passionate about their team and rightfully so. They play in one of the greatest baseball stadiums of all-time. Their franchise is rich in history, nothing really to be ashamed of.
For those that didnt read it this was reply to the last IHateMillen Blog :
I just can't figure why Red Sox fans have it in for the Yankees. I don't want to hear the crap about them spending money for players. Every team has the same chance as the Bronx Bombers to go after players. The organization is playing by the rules that even the Boston Red Sox voted on. I don't give a rats ass about the Red Sox, yet you never hear me bad mouthing the team, in fact on one of my posts I congratulated them. When the Yanks won in 2009, I never once rubbed it in the face of the Red Sox fans. All I did was write a blog about the team winning. Even when your other teams win, you have to rub it in on the Yankees.
While Red Sox fans have shown class in the Rivera world retirement tour, I know they will do the same for Our Captain Derek Jeter, just as Yankee fans will honor Ortiz when he decided to hang them up.
Boston fans. just get over it already with the Yankees. You just making yourselves look like an ass
By the way, Red Sox fans and Yankee fans can agree that Jeter is not on the Mount Rushmore of Yankess, or for that matter a top 5 Yankee.
Let me just expand a little. Its okay to dislike the Yankees, just like I dislike the Red Sox. But I dont vent my venom on Boston fans. But Ill be demand if I dont go to a Yankee-Red Sox game whenever I go home to Brooklyn, New York and boo the hell at of the Red Sox.
7 World Series, 9 American League Pennants Impressive Red Sox fans.
But it really boils down to the fact that Red Sox Fans have a Yankee inferiority complex because that is what it really sounds like to me.

Learn Stock Options Buying and selling
When men and women refer to options trading they could basically be referring to a amount of diverse securities. Alternatives are traded on all varieties forex news of securities (fx, commodities, shares, and so on.), but for the function of this report I will only be referring to stock alternatives.
The following are 5 intriguing after hours trading facts about options buying and selling that most traders never ever recognize
Truth 1 Most people under no circumstances know who basically generates stock alternatives. Heck, I traded for decades in advance of commodity I identified out the Choices Clearing Corporation (OCC) difficulties all outlined possibilities at the CBOE as very well as other U.S. solution exchanges.
The OCC guarantees the choices market place stays fluid and that there is often a purchaser and vendor for just about every transaction. Another celebration that aids facilitate this liquidity are Industry Makers.
Reality 2 buy stocks From time to time it truly is not yet another alternatives trader who purchases or sells your stock alternative from/to you. Marketplace Makers are trade members who help keep the industry fluid by stocks to buy employing their private money to purchase and promote choices.
So when there is an absence of public buy and market orders the Market Makers phase in and forex trading place up their private capital to make certain the trade can be executed. Find out Stock Selections Buying and selling
Actuality 3 The value choices are quoted at is their options trading per share selling price, but they are only truly marketed in 100 share batches.
So what that signifies is that whichever value you see quoted has to daytrading6636.com be multiplied by a hundred to get the correct value of that alternative.
Men and women who are unaware of how stock possibilities operate might search at a quoted price exchange of $two and then get excited pondering they can invest in that stock selection for $two when in all actuality it will expense them $two hundred.
Actuality banc de binary 4 Stock possibilities do NOT expire the 3rd Friday of the thirty day period of their expiration. They truly expire the third Saturday of the month of expiration, forex market but for buying and selling reasons individuals usually state that they expire on Friday (due to the fact the industry is not open up on Saturday).
Reality five When you buy a stock cedar finance choice you might be not acquiring ownership in anything like you are with stocks. The only thing you are paying for is a contract that grants you selected "rights".
In stock trading platform the scenario of a Simply call choice you are acquiring the "appropriate" to invest in a stock and with Place selections you are acquiring the "right" day trading to offer a stock.
Possibilities investing can be perplexing at initially, but just take your time, keep mastering and sooner or later things will start to come collectively. Study Stock Selections Buying and selling

Among its various uses, social media connects people who are passionate about issues and willing to participate in observances like National Recovery Month (Recovery Month). Blogs and social media platforms, such as Facebook (http://www.facebook.com) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com), provide individuals and organizations with an easily accessible, cost-effective way to interact with a diverse and expansive audience. Social media also offers measurable results, giving users an opportunity to analyze trends and adjust messaging as needed.
This document offers tips for beginners and more seasoned social media users on how to use social media and social networks to spread the Recovery Month message in September and throughout the year. Beginners can also refer to the "New Media Glossary" (http://recoverymonth.gov/Recovery-Month-Kit/Resources/New-Media-Glossary.aspx) document in this toolkit, which defines relevant terms.
Recovery Month is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (http://www.samhsa.gov), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (http://www.hhs.gov). This year's theme, "Join the Voices for Recovery: Speak Up, Reach Out," encourages people with recovery experience to openly speak out about the truths of recovery and wellness to dispel misconceptions and encourage public acceptance.

When beginning a social media campaign, set social media objectives, which will help determine where to focus your efforts and the level of involvement needed on each platform. For example, you might aim to increase your number of Twitter followers by 10 percent each month or write a new blog post each week. Keep goals in mind when creating a personal profile, account, or page, and remember the option to start small and build the conversation on other platforms later. Refer to the "New Media Glossary" (http://recoverymonth.gov/Recovery-Month-Kit/Resources/New-Media-Glossary.aspx) section of this toolkit to view different digital options.
To begin social media engagement, start by searching social networking sites for organizations or users that have similar objectives. Below are some tips that can foster support for a personal Facebook page, Twitter account, or blog.
Add the Recovery Month Events Widget to promote your specific event or all Recovery Month events on a blog or website.
Blogs can serve as a forum to engage online communities with similar interests, such as recovery from mental and/or substance use disorders. A regularly updated blog can share information and opinions, and encourage people to react and respond through comments. Blogging requires a significant time commitment. Coming up with regular new content and posts are factors that make a blog successful. You can also consider participating in existing conversations on other blogs, rather than starting your own blog, if posting new entries on a consistent basis is not be feasible.
Before you create a personal blog, or one for an organization, use the resources below to gauge existing blogs and what topics they discuss. By researching other blogs, you can determine the most relevant topics for discussion, as well as how to differentiate your blog from others.
If you decide to start a personal blog, many websites, such as Wordpress (http://www.wordpress.com), Tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com), or Blogger (http://www.blogger.com), offer guidance. Once you begin to post, use sites such as Facebook or Twitter to cross-promote.
You can also engage with other bloggers to participate in conversations about your issue. Consider the following tips to help connect with others on message boards and blogs:
Since its launch in 2004, Facebook has developed into a worldwide social networking website with more than 1.15 billion monthly active members.1 You can engage with the Facebook community in two ways – through a personal account or through an organizational/brand page.
To start a personal account, you will need to provide your name and email address. A personal Facebook page may feature contact information (if provided), interests, photos, and videos. You can determine the privacy settings to control what friends or other Facebook users can see.
Once you have created an account:
Tips for starting an official Facebook page for your organization:
Another popular social networking site is Twitter (http://www.twitter.com). This networking service allows "tweets," or text-based posts up to 140 characters long, to be displayed on a user's profile page. These tweets are publicly accessible unless you change the privacy settings. "Following" another Twitter account shows interest in what they tweet and lays the groundwork for building a relationship. The site allows users to choose a Twitter username, write a short biography, and choose an account icon image. Below are some features of Twitter to help promote Recovery Month and engage with the Twitter community:
Twitter is an effective way to inform followers or other users about general updates, events, or anything of interest to the behavioral health community. By bringing members together, online communities can serve as a support system. Be sure to start following @RecoveryMonth (https://twitter.com/RecoveryMonth) for information about upcoming events, personal stories of recovery, resources, and general conversation about the benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Be sure to check out the Recovery Month YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com) to watch public service announcements and other videos relating to prevention, treatment, and recovery.
In addition to Facebook and Twitter, you can use other social media applications to spread ideas and communicate the Recovery Month message through video, photo, and location-based communication. Below is a sample of these applications and how you can best use these tools.
There are many different ways to promote Recovery Month through social media. Always remember when working with social media that nothing is ever deleted. Also, to keep friends or networks continually interested, be positive and keep posts or statuses timely, optimistic, and thought-provoking. If a friend on Facebook or a follower on Twitter is offensive, you can stop following the person, or even block him or her from viewing your profile. If someone's actions are inappropriate or threatening, contact the respective social media network's administrator and file a report.
Continue to visit the Recovery Month website (http://www.recoverymonth.gov) to see what resources are available to help connect the recovery community. Recovery Month shares a monthly digital media e-newsletter (http://www.recoverymonth.gov/Press-Room/New-Media-Newsletters.aspx) that shares case studies and tips of new trends and developments; sign up to receive it.

In the section of Morning and Evening Prayer, in his Small Catechism of 1529, Martin Luther says: "In the morning, as soon as you get out of bed, you are to make the sign of the holy cross and say: 'Under the care of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen'." He then instructs the reader to say the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and to pray the morning prayer that he provides or another of the person's own choosing. Luther also encourages: "After singing a hymn or whatever else may serve your devotion, you are to go to your work joyfully." Likewise when instructing the faithful in offering evening devotions, Luther says: "In the evening, when you go to bed, you are to make the sign of the holy cross and say: 'Under the care of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen'." This is followed by instructions to say the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, an evening prayer – such as the one Luther provides, and ". . . to go to sleep quickly and cheerfully." The devotional practice of making the sign of the Holy Cross did not originate with Luther – but actually goes back to the early days of the Christian Church, at least as early as the 100's A.D. Now of course, Luther did modify it (no surprises here). The traditional practice of the Western Church was to touch one's forehead, then the heart, then the left shoulder, and then the right shoulder – using the fingers of the right hand. Luther modified this practice by encouraging Christians to return their fingers to their heart after touching the right shoulder, as a testimony to the heart being the place where faith resides. Thus to this day, many Lutherans end the sign of the cross at their heart, while Roman Catholic Christians end the sign of the cross at their right shoulder. Because Eastern Christians (Orthodox) reverse the order of which shoulder is to be touched first in making the sign of the cross – they end at the left shoulder. There have also been many traditions of how one's fingers should be formed during this ritual movement. The two most common practices in our tradition are: (1). an open hand in which the four fingers and thumb represent the five wounds of Christ, and (2). Index, middle, and ring fingers pressed together symbolizing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In spite of all of the variations in practice, what is most important is that a cross is traced over the body of the person making it.
Christians make the sign of the Holy Cross in remembrance of their baptism in which they are declaring that "this body and life belong to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." When persons are baptized, the pastor with the Holy Chrism (oil blessed specifically for use in baptisms) on his or her thumb makes the sign of the cross on the forehead of the person who has just been baptized and says, "[name], child of God, you have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked with the Cross of Christ forever" (Lutheran Book of Worship, page 124). This is the first time that the sign of the cross is made over the Christian, but in subsequent years as the new Christian learns to make this sign over their own self – they are learning to remember that God has claimed them as His own in Holy Baptism. Saint Paul writes in Romans, chapter 6, "3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For whoever has died is freed from sin. 8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him." In Holy Baptism, we have been joined to Christ's death – meaning that we have died, and the life we now live is joined to the risen Christ who lives without end. Through this Holy Sacrament, God not only washes away our original sin – but promises us eternal life with Him in His Kingdom. Jesus promises in John 11:25-26, ". . . I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die." Every time we make the sign of the cross over our bodies, we are declaring that as a baptized child of God – this body that has been crucified in being joined to Christ's death and will be raised in a resurrection like Christ's.
It is important for us to remember, however, that making the sign of the Holy Cross is not a mandatory obligation for the Christian. This practice is a matter of evangelical freedom – anything that is neither commanded nor prohibited by Holy Scripture is open for discussion and discretion within the Lutheran tradition. Persons who grew up during the days in which the Common Service Book (1917) and the Service Book and Hymnal (1958) were used in Lutheran worship were not always instructed in making the sign of the cross – it depended on the backgrounds of the pastor and congregation. This was also true for the Book of Worship (1899) of the General Synod, which was one of the first widely-used Lutheran service books written in English in America. Of course, there were earlier Lutheran service books written in English, produced by Lutheran church bodies such as the Pennsylvania Ministerium and the General Council, but there really were not any service books written in English that received widespread usage in America until after the adoption of the "Common Service," following the Civil War. Prior to that time, the majority of Lutheran congregations in America used service books written in German, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, or Danish. In fact, St. John's (and congregations like her) went straight from the German service books to the Common Service Book. Catechism students instructed during the time in which the German service books were used, were frequently taught to make the sign of the cross whenever the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) were spoken – in keeping with traditional practices of worship and Luther's instructions for private prayer in the Small Catechism. This has also been true for catechism students instructed since the introduction of the Lutheran Book of Worship (1978) – which has restored many of the traditional practices of Lutheran worship that were not retained in the development of earlier "English" service books. Whether one makes the sign of the cross or does not make the sign of the cross is a matter of personal piety and devotion; and it should not to be forced upon those who are uncomfortable with the practice. The focus is always upon the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and what God has done for us and to us in our baptism. For those desiring to make the sign of the cross in worship – it is appropriate to trace the cross over ourselves whenever the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is spoken, whenever the symbol "+" appears in our liturgy booklet, and before and after receiving our Lord's body and blood in Holy Communion. This is the reason that many of our members dip their fingers in the holy water and trace the cross over themselves whenever they pass by the baptismal font. May God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit bless you now and forever.

East Village
New York City , New York
Tel: 212 254 4090
Concierge.com's insider take:
Pete Wentz is a far cry from Joey Ramone, but if you're looking for a rocker bar in the East Village, Wentz's Angels and Kings is about as close as you'll get these days. The Fall Out Boy bassist co-owns the loungy spot, nicknamed "AK-47," with Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes and clothing designer Jamison Ernest. The boys go heavy on the red velvet and have cheekily lined the bar with famous celebrity mug shots. As rock bars go, there's a solid drink selection, but the real attraction tends to be the celebrity sightings, including Pete and wifey Ashlee Simpson. Their crew is known to drop in for the bar's regular Monday-night karaoke parties, but most nights are great for kicking back to good music while sampling the bar's famous drink specials (their happy hour features $2 vodka drinks from 8 to 10 pm).
Open Mondays through Thursdays 7 pm to 4 am, Fridays and Saturdays 6 pm to 4 am, Sundays 8 pm to 4 am.

The c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) group of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases is activated by phosphorylation on Thr and Tyr. Here we report the molecular cloning of a new member of the mammalian MAP kinase kinase group (MKK7) that functions as an activator of JNK. In vitro protein kinase assays demonstrate that MKK7 phosphorylates and activates JNK, but not the p38 or extracellular signal-regulated kinase groups of MAP kinase. Expression of MKK7 in cultured cells causes activation of the JNK signal transduction pathway. MKK7 is therefore established to be a novel component of the JNK signal transduction pathway.

All-American Decor
Adorn your home in red, white and blue with these patriotic pieces
By Ayn-Monique Khlare
Red, White and Blue
In this 1960s cabin in the northeast corner of Georgia, every day is the Fourth of July. "The yard is full of blue hydrangeas," says Craig Kettles (C-Designs.biz), who decorated the home. "Between that and the view of Lake Burton, blue was a logical jumping-off point for a color palette. We added the red to give it pop." The iconic color combo, plus natural textures, distressed finishes and quirky antique furniture, gave this remodeled home its vintage American feel. Here's how to do it on your own.
This vinyl floor is made with three shades of vinyl tiles.

VATICAN LETTER Apr-20-2007 (750 words) Backgrounder. xxxi
Minority view: Participants publish their side of brain death debate
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Breaching normal protocol, several participants in a 2005 Vatican-sponsored conference over the ethics of declaring someone brain dead have published the papers they delivered at the debate.
Many of the papers reproduced in "Finis Vitae: Is Brain Death Still Life?" argue that the concept of brain death was devised mainly to expand the availability of organs for transplant and claim that some patients who had been pronounced brain dead continued to live for months or even years.
Publication of the papers, which the Vatican had decided not to publish, is evidence of the strong feelings about brain death held by a minority of the members of the Pontifical Academy for Life.
Roberto De Mattei, vice president of the National Research Council of Italy who is not a member of the academy, said he edited "Finis Vitae" in order "to expand the debate and bring it to a wider audience."
While differences of opinion among theologians, philosophers and scientists, especially on ethical issues, are nothing new, it is unusual that participants in a Vatican conference published the papers that the Vatican specifically decided not to publish.
"The concern of many is that the Vatican has not taken the appropriate position when doubts exist about the end of human life," De Mattei told
Catholic News Service
April 20.
"The moment of the separation of the soul from the body is shrouded in mystery, just as the moment of when a soul enters a person is," he said.
But when faced with questions about the moment of ensoulment at the beginning of life, the church's position always has been to assume the soul enters at conception in order to ensure the greatest possible defense of human life, he said. Those who question whether brain death is really death are simply asking that the church extend its defense of human life if there is the minimal possibility that the soul remains in a body that has a heart beat, respiration and blood circulation, even if those are supported artificially, De Mattei said.
Bishop Fabian W. Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Neb., whose paper from the 2005 meeting is included in "Finis Vitae," asked how the Catholic Church can accept a lack of brain function as a definition of death yet still oppose the willful destruction of human embryos, which have not yet developed a brain.
The question was part of the discussion at a 2006 Vatican meeting; the Pontifical Academy of Sciences decided to publish the 2006 papers and transcripts of the discussion, while it decided not to publish those from the 2005 meeting.
"The embryo has a potential brain under development," said Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, chancellor of the science academy. He insisted there is a difference between an embryo with "the potential development of the complete body with the brain" and a situation in which there is "only the body without the brain."
De Mattei said the Pontifical Academy of Sciences' position is not surprising, given that most of its members and consultants are experts in the hard sciences, but not philosophy and theology.
"The transplant lobbies defend brain death because they are defending an enormous market," he said.
If a brain-dead person weren't really dead, then the removal of vital organs for transplant would be synonymous with homicide.
In 1985 and again in 1989, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences recognized brain death as "the true criterion for death."
The science academy book, "The Signs of Death," also emphasized the fact that in a speech in 2000, Pope John Paul II agreed that "the complete and irreversible cessation of all brain activity (in the cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem), if rigorously applied, does not seem to conflict with the essential elements of anthropology."
Still, Bishop Sanchez said the academy had "invited those who are critical" of the Vatican's position to the 2005 meeting in order to hear their arguments and determine whether there was enough new material to warrant another more formal gathering.
The formal gathering was the one held in 2006, which ended with the publication of a nine-page statement titled, "Why the Concept of Brain Death Is Valid as a Definition of Death."
Among the signatories of the statement were Cardinal Georges Cottier, then-theologian of the papal household; Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, president of the Pontifical Council for the Family; retired Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini of Milan; and Bishop Elio Sgreccia, president of the Pontifical Academy for Life.

Apotex Inc. has introduced Apo-Esomeprazole, a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), in Canada.
Supplier News Breaks Archives
TORONTO – Apotex Inc. has introduced Apo-Esomeprazole, a treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), in Canada.
The pharmaceutical company said Tuesday that the gastric proton pump inhibitor (PPI) product is a generic version of AstraZeneca's Nexium acid reducer
With initial launches in the provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario, Apo-Esomeprazole has now been released to the rest of the Canadian market. Apotex reported that the branded product costs public and private health care budgets close to $300 million (Canadian) per year.
Apotex said it's the only generic drug company to have successfully litigated the Nexium patents, bringing the first generic alternative to market eight years prior to all patents expiring. The company added that it has led the legal charge to "genericize" four out of five major products in the class of gastric PPI molecules, including omeprazole, pantoprazole, lansoprazole and now esomeprazole.
Apotex said these legal efforts are estimated to deliver a cumulative savings of $6.5 billion to Canada's health care system.
"Generic litigant frontrunners such as Apotex play a critical role in maintaining affordability of our health care system. Apo-Esomeprazole is yet another example of our commitment to provide patients with affordable, high-quality medicines, despite the potential risks and consequences we often face in bringing these new generic products to market," Jack Kay, Apotex's president, said in a statement.
