Eye of the Beholder
by Melissa J. Smith Rosalio Perez knew he needed to stop driving when he was involved in several car accidents. But catching the bus wasnt easy. Hed stand at the stop, but the buses would pass him by. It wasnt that the bus drivers were ignoring him. Perez wasnt signaling them to stop. Why? He couldnt see the route name and number displayed on the bus to determine if it was the bus he wanted to take. Low vision also discouraged Perez from crossing streets and shopping at the grocery store. But with vision rehabilitation, he has regained his independence."People here at my retirement home dont believe I have a vision problem because I get around so well now," he said. Low vision is a severe chronic impairment that limits a persons ability to complete everyday activities, such as shopping, cooking, reading and traveling. Even with glasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery, vision cannot be improved for people who did not seek early treatment for macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. The Lions Low Vision Center of Texas at the Health Science Center provides rehabilitation services to patients with low vision. The clinic does not restore lost vision, but instead teaches people to effectively use their remaining vision. The center, established in September 2003 with a $250,000 grant from multiple sources including Lions Clubs International, the Lions of Texas and the Lions Sight Research Foundation, a part of Lions District 2-A2, is the only place in San Antonio where ophthalmologists, optometrists and occupational therapists work together to provide comprehensive services to patients. "If someone loses his or her vision, he or she needs rehabilitation just like someone who has lost a leg," said Sandra M. Fox, O.D., director of the center and assistant professor in the department of ophthalmology. "People with low vision should not consider themselves disabled," she said. Dr. Fox provides a low vision evaluation to determine the level of functioning vision. She spends time talking to the patient about his or her goals. After her assessment, she provides a low vision device recommendation based on the persons goals and daily activities. Low vision devices, which can help patients with their daily activities, include varying-strength magnifiers, closed-circuit televisions that magnify print, large buttons on phones and weekly medicine sorters. "Everyone wants to be able to drive again, but that isnt always a reality," Dr. Fox said. Following the eye exam, patients visit with Melva R. Pérez, O.T.R., M.B.A., occupational therapist and assistant professor in the department of occupational therapy, to discuss their options for therapy. "Following the low vision device recommendations from Dr. Fox, I teach the patient to use the device in order to perform tasks as effectively and efficiently as possible," Pérez said. But low vision devices are only one part of the treatment. Patients also participate in therapy that can include anything from reading exercises to working on a machine, like the Dynavision. The Dynavision teaches people who have visual field loss due to a stroke, brain injury or glaucoma to move their eyes efficiently so that they become more aware of their peripheral vision. Lights cover the large face of the machine and as each of the lights flash, the patient must look in the direction of the light and press the button. The Dynavision also helps improve eye-hand coordination and reaction time. Toni Ovalle, a former patient of the center, learned to effectively use her peripheral vision and improve her reaction time. After completing therapy at the center and working on the Dynavision for three months, she was able to pass the Texas Department of Public Safetys driving test and drive herself to work again. "I can run my own errands and I dont have to take the bus anymore," she said. "I got some independence back." Dr. Fox and Pérez work tirelessly to get the information about the clinic to patients and medical personnel alike by traveling around San Antonio and the surrounding area, making presentations about the services the center offers. Many of the people who are in need of low vision assistance dont know there are services available. Ophthalmologists are pleased to know they have a new resource to recommend to their low vision patients. "We feel that a big part of what we do is to serve as educators for our patients, our students and the medical community," Pérez said. "Were hoping that low vision rehabilitation will be as common as any of the other rehabilitation services available." As for Rosalio Perez, whose low vision resulted from diabetic retinopathy, life has greatly improved since receiving therapy and equipment at the clinic. He now even helps his blind neighbor make his way around."Some of my friends tease me by saying that Im the blind leading the blind, but I dont care. I can finally read the prices at the grocery store," he said with a smile. |

Nerdist and CBS Team Up to Bring SCORPION to Comic-Con
By Merrill Barr on July 21, 2014
With Robert Patrick in the cast, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci producing, and Fast & Furious director Justin Lin behind the camera (not to mention Breakout Kings co-creator Nick Santora penning the script), there's already a lot to love about the most high profile drama on CBS's upcoming fall slate, Scorpion. Based on the experiences of real life genius Walter O'Brien, Scorpion follows the journey of a team of beautiful minds that, while the world may have written them off, fights to use their masterful intellect for good, all while trying to live somewhat normal lives.
As we told you last week, CBS plans to bring the new drama to Comic-Con this year, and now we can happily report that the network has teamed up with Nerdist to do so. In addition to the panel that will be held in Ballroom 20 on Thursday the 24th from 12:05-1:10pm, CBS will also have a Scorpion themed tent at the Nerdist Headquarters in Petco Park (100 Park Blvd., San Diego, 92101) where, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on the 24th, fans will be able to "satisfy their sweet tooth cravings at the tent's candy kiosk, check out trailers of the high-octane series, and obtain SCORPION giveaways branded with exclusive super hero-inspired art of the SCORPION characters (art designed by Ty Mattson will make its debut at Comic-Con)." The available swag will include trading cards (seen below), posters and more.
There's a reason we're throwing some of the Nerdist goodness behind this one; it's a solid looking series and we can't wait for you guys to check it out come Comic-Con weekend.
Also, for you Under The Dome fans, from "Thursday, July 24 through Friday, July 25, fans can score a free ride to their next local destination in special, domed pedi-cabs," designed as an homage to the Stephen King drama.

YMCMB Movie: Five Rules for Joining Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Birdman's Rich Gang
Categories: Useless Lists
Photo by Derick G/derickg.com |
Join the YMCMB Rich Gang with Weezy F. Baby, Nicki the Ninja, and Mr. Williams. |
And now they're making movies. In a recent interview with XXL, Birdman confessed there's a blockbuster in the works starring the whole flippin' YMBMC team. It's called Rich Gang, obviously.
So what does it take to hang with the Young Money Cash Money Billionaires? Just live by these five simple rules and you could join the crew. Or at least score a cameo.
5. Get Money
The first rule of YMCMB is obvious: Get Fucking Money. It doesn't matter what it takes 'cause the hustle never stops. Whether you're writing raps, signing artists, or endorsing Pepsi products, you've gotta stack them dollars higher than you can stand. And of course, the point of stacks is blowing them all over naked bitches. So make sure you stunt as hard as you save.
4. Get High
Besides making it rain, money is for getting turnt up. The members of YMCMB admit regularly that they smoke weed, drink Patron, pop pills, and fuck with that white girl Molly. Judging by their strange lyrical content and mind-bending visual aesthetic, we assume they take trips too. This crew is so dedicated to getting twisted that they go so far as to develop addictions to drinking cough syrup. That's what it takes.

1: "Game of Thrones" or "Mad Men" — or neither — and why?
Alison Atwell: After watching both trailers, I still have no idea what's supposed to be happening in either. Really, this is a question about subject matter: Fantasy or Advertising? I say, aren't they the same thing? That's right, I just went all Don Draper on you.
Andrew Gospe: "Mad Men," partly because I haven't watched "Game of Thrones," but also because the writing is fantastic, the costumes are sharp, and there's something strangely endearing about Don Draper's rampant alcoholism and casual misogyny.
Michael Lantz: Sadly, I haven't really gotten around to watching either. Yet what I've watched of "Mad Men" I've loved, and I think it's a little more my style than "Game of Thrones." I hear both are really good at downplaying misogyny.
Jillian Stampher: Neither. I just had both explained to me and tuned out halfway through, so clearly they aren't worth watching.
2: What was your best pop culture experience over the break?
Alison: I slept on a couch for three days straight while my friends played Skyrim. Does that count?
Andrew: Spring break was epic, man: My bros and I road-tripped to Cabo in my friend Chaz's dad's Range Rover, and I totally ran into Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit.
Michael: I finally started reading Keith Richards' autobiography, "Life." It gives all the details on life with The Stones, but, aside from that, it's also a really genuine and terrific memoir.
Jillian: I was in a car for more than 30 hours listening to choice music from Yakima residents. Besides the sing-a-longs which ensued, my favorite was a song that repeated "ganja man" continuously for three minutes.
3: What are your thoughts on the (im)possibility of a White Stripes reunion?
Alison: So you're saying there's a chance?
Andrew: It's not terribly surprising — Jack White has always dabbled in other projects — and they'll probably reunite in five to 10 years anyway to make bank headlining Coachella.
Michael: About five years ago I had tickets to see them but they canceled, so that was a disappointment. Now Jack White seems pretty content on doing his own thing, but he's been playing a lot of their songs on his solo tour. So that is good enough for me.
Jillian: Though Jack White has continually said there is no chance, they probably will. But of course, they will wait long enough for everyone to miss them and then will announce their one and only reunion tour.
4: What's the weirdest piece of art you've experienced, and why?
Alison: I went to the DXARTS Ph.D. students' exhibit at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery last quarter, and I spent a good amount of time trying to wrap my head around the installation in which the viewer walks through a room full of rock salt and there are light bulbs hanging from the ceiling that flicker and intensify with activity.
Andrew: I took a DXARTS class my freshman year, and the professor showed us some of the electronic music he had been working on. Even though he used a complicated algorithm to generate the sounds, it sounded like a random series of clicks and buzzing noises. I was confused, to say the least.
Michael: I watched "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" over break. I can't really explain the weirdness via written word and make ittional.
Jillian: I remember going to the Seattle Art Musuem and staring at piece of art worth thousands of dollars titled "Scribbles from a handful of colored pencils" and reminiscing about my own similar drawings from preschool.

Notes for Thomas Youmans: http://www.heritagepursuit.com/LickingFile6.htm HISTORY OF LICKING COUNTY. - page 475 The National road was the means of building up many towns along its route, and among others Kirkersville, in this township; and, in fact, it is the only village in the township except Kirkersville station. It was laid out in 1832, by Dr. William C. Kirker, who owned some fine land at this point on South fork, at the mouth of Bloody run. He, probably, built the first dwelling in the place. Thomas Youmans was, probably, the first man of family to settle there; he erected a building and kept a "tavern," as these were in great demand along that road, both while it was in course of construction, for the purpose of feeding the workmen, and for many years after, for the traveling public. page 614 John C. Alward, born December 21, 1811; came to this county with his parents in 1818. October 19, 1837, he married Miss Margaret Youmans. Miss Youmans was born in New Jersey, February 19, 1817, and came to this county with her parents, Thomas and Caturah Youmans, about 1825. Mr. and Mrs. Alward settled on his father's home farm, where they now reside. They have six children - four sons and two daughters. In 1850 he was nominated for State senator, by the Democracy of Licking county, and was elected by a majority of about four hundred, and served a term of one year. In 1851 he was reelected to the senate under the present constitution and served a term of two years. He served as captain of a militia company one year, lieutenant colonel two years, and was then promoted to colonel of the regiment, which he commanded about two years, in all making about five years service in the militia of the State. He has made farming and stock raising his principal vocation, making thoroughbred sheep a specialty. |

That's it, I quit! Glenn Beck just suggested we "bring all the troops home."

I LOVE that Glen Beck needs to now promote Liberty.
I LOVE that Glen Beck needs to now promote Liberty. It means we're winning. Welcome aboard.
He'll need to offer people something worth listening to, and I trust in peoples ability to think, judge, and process for themselves. Pandering to Liberty minded people is VERY hard to do when you oppose it. I would be worried if Glen Beck was promoting "freedom" rather than liberty, but if he wants to talk about liberty; bring it on! This should be entertaining if nothing else.
Besides, There are some very good reasons that Glen Beck and many others hate Libertarians, and it has to do with the Anarchists who masquerade as advocates for liberty. They're right to hate some Libertarians, and as you may be figuring out, some Libertarians AREN'T trying to defend liberty. Some are just trying to "break up the US". (You hear me Lew?)
Government does not need to be about "ruling" the people. Living in a just society is not IN ANY WAY antithetical to liberty. Serving justice is ultimately about refusing to let people be ruled. It's about standing opposed to injustice and meeting it with collective force, and it won't be a mugger who'll come to take your liberty. It'll be an army of muggers. Our only hope is to win the debate, and use collective force to serve justice rather than mans covetous nature.
"Freedom, Liberty, and their common defense."
IF Glen Beck wants to be a part of that, so be it. Better him than somebody talking about Reptoids and Anarchism.

Some comments are quite sad
I find it very telling that this board is supposed to be a place where people can promote liberty and be free to do it in their own ways. It is supposed to promote a libertarian philosophy of government and life. For the most part it does.
But then you have people on here commenting about how much they hate Glenn Beck and that he doesn't matter and that he is a [fill in the expletive].
Why is it so frequent that people have to be reminded that people in a libertarian society should be free to have their own opinions, their own strategies, their own beliefs. Why are so-called libertarians among us ridiculing people for having different beliefs? Why, because they do not understand true libertarianism.
You do not have to agree with Becks ideas, you can think their foolish or stupid or that he is misleading people, but it is no reason to belittle a man, who has in fact delivered many people to libertarianism whether or not you agree with him or his methods. In fact disagreement is no reason to belittle any man or woman or child for that matter.
I used to listen to Beck before the 2008 election. I liked him. I used to listen to Rush but he would agree with Bush so much that he would have to go on the air telling listeners how he actually disagreed with Bush on some things. I was waking up at this point and I turned to Glenn Beck. Beck pointed out some things I hadn't thought of before. I turned toward libertarian thinkers and eventually discovered Ron Paul. I didn't agree with everything Beck said, but he at least seemed genuine in his thought process.
Then came the 2008 primaries and Beck's ridicule of Ron Paul. This really pissed me off because Ron Paul embodied all of the political thought I had in my mind and agreed with much of what Beck was saying. I couldn't understand how Beck could turn his back on a man who seemed to agree with him on so much. I turned Beck off, I didn't call him names or throw a tantrum.
If Glenn Beck is now coming out and saying something you agree with just accept it. Be happy he is agreeing with you and if you are so inclined, thank him and tell him what else he needs to come around too.
Like him or not he has turned people onto the side of liberty and freedom. The hatred that comes from some of you belong in democrat and republican politics, it does not belong here. Here we praise people who have freedom of thought, who change their philosophy to encompass more liberty minded ideas, who persuade people to live and let live, who propose ending aggressive war.
Be glad he changed his tune and be glad that he is making other people come around to our way of thinking.

For me, the sad comments
are those that treat Glenn Beck as a libertarian who's promoting the liberty movement based on some comment he made today or yesterday. He trashed Ron Paul, he trashed Ron Paul's supporters and some of the most important libertarian principles we believe in when it really counted. He pretends to be on our side, then turns on a dime and betrays us. Not just once, not twice, not thrice, but countless times. It's an established pattern that GB set indicating that he's either a liar or a hopeless schizophrenic.
If his constantly shifting opinions sometimes help someone jump on board the liberty movement, I say hooray. I'd give credit to the listener who managed to choose GB's correct opinion over the incorrect one though, not GB who surely confuses most of his listeners by flipping from one opinion to the opposite opinion and back again ad infinitum.

Good for Beck. I suggest we
Good for Beck. I suggest we praise him for it. Praise the good and you'll hear more of it.
I tend to think of Beck as just a guy who lets out his feelings. I know he's done some awful things to hurt good people like Paul and Medina, but the guy is not some sort of master pupeteer out to utilize some sort of grand strategy to have his ways. He is, rather, like play-dough, always changing with the various pressures. He may not even notice it himself, that his views shift so abruptly; he certainly doesn't acknowledge it, but that's ok. If you've ever listened to Beck it is clear that he works on whims and emotions, I don't think the guy is caniving. I see someone who has, over the years, come closer to reason, not gone further away from it.

"Real" libertarians wouldn't be fooled
Libertarians are unique (I think) in that we can't be subverted by a LINO (who thought THAT term would ever exist?)
Even if Beck is a phony and an opportunist, when one of his listeners actually "wakes up" to true libertarianism, they can't go back.
I was once a fan of Beck's. He helped wake me up to true libertariansm and now I can't stand the guy.
Even if he is being deceptive, I only see it as beneficial to our cause.

How dare he promote liberty
How dare he promote liberty ideas to his 10 million listeners! Who does he think he is? Ron Paul invented liberty and nobody else has a right to it.
Well it's over. They've co-opted RP's ideas. Soon they'll be all saying we need to cut the drone strikes, cut the federal budget for real, cut regulations... and my god, at that point I think I'd rather shoot myself than live in a world like that. I shake and vomit just thinking about it.

There may be hope for Beck...
This may be controversial, but I think there's hope for Beck. Compare the Beck of today from the Beck of four years ago. Huge difference.
In fact, in a lot of ways, he helped me start seeing how America was bought by the corporations, back when no other "conservative" talk show host was talking about it.
Unfortunately, these days, I can only stomach about 15 minutes of his program before I get so angry I start bashing my head on the car horn... but I have noticed he's slowly getting "more" libertarian.

The Judge Napoletano
during Glenn Beck's interview refused to attack Karl Rove but said instead - "Karl Rove is a smart guy, I would try to win him over."
Such wisdom and integrity is lacking among out populists who spend disproportionate time on personal attacks and the thumb work. Glenn Beck is a TV/Radio personality; he is not supposed to be as smart as Libertarian theorists. Glenn Beck had admitted he was wrong about "Patriot Act." On the other hand, Judge Napoletano rejected anarchism, accepted that there are different streams of Libertarians regarding abortions and religion, and confirmed that we should support our friend Israel. If Beck's crowd joins Libertarian movement, Tea Party will purify itself. Those who are obsessed with anarchism, anti-Israel agenda and want to promote Palestinians group demands at all cost will become a marginalized populist sect, I believe.

He did this a while back as well..
Beck is predictable, he's just about 6 months to 1 year behind everything that goes up on this site.
Message to peon trolling for story ideas to post on the blaze, your boss is an asshat.

The sun streams through a west window, highlighting contemporary wicker furniture and walls that could use a paint job. Lounging on the couch and watching early Eighties classic The Breakfast Club, a RESTAURANT CRITIC reaches lazily for the phone. Without looking at the numbers, she punches three buttons in quick succession and holds the receiver to her ear.
BellSouth. What city?
Coral Gables.
What listing?
Fishbone Grille.
Thank you.
The critic waits for the phone number to be played. She appears mildly surprised when an OPERATOR cuts in on the line.
Have you been there yet?
Uh, no, not yet. I was thinking about going tonight.
Do you happen to know if it's the same owners as the Fishbone Grille downtown?
Actually, it is the same owners, Patrick Gleber and Kevin Rusk, who also own Tobacco Road.
Great! Fishbone is one of my favorite restaurants.
Mine too.
Really? Well, have a good meal. Here's the number.
The above scenario really did happen. I'm not sure why the Grille is such a story starter. Perhaps it's the Caribbean/Asian-accented fare, quickly cooked and generously served. Or the reasonable prices. Or maybe that the restaurant seems emblematic of Miami's growing and eclectic downtown scene: The first location, which anchors the corner of the block that also houses Tobacco Road, opened in 1990 as a grilled chicken offshoot of that venerable bar, the Wishbone Grille. When that concept didn't take off -- there wasn't enough space for a drive-through, says Gleber -- the partners switched to fish, particularly fresh-caught South Florida varieties, whereupon the place became an innovative success.
I'm an admitted Fishbone fanatic, but unlike most of the folks who frequent it, I like the restaurant for more than lunch, when business really hops. I consider it a quality dinner destination: At night the atmosphere mellows, and service, which can be brusque during peak daylight hours, takes on a more soothing tone. And I especially admire Gleber's intentions when it comes to wine. Not only do he and general manager/investor Michael Daly avail themselves of seven different distributors (most restaurants have just one), they have an admirable -- especially around these parts -- pricing policy. Lower-priced bottles are marked up only double the wholesale cost, plus liquor tax. If the cost exceeds twenty bucks wholesale, a wine is marked up only an additional fifteen dollars. His intent, says Gleber, is not to build a great cellar or to educate the public about unusual vintages; he just wants to offer average citizens something we may not be able to afford at other places. He carries this philosophy over from Tobacco Road, where he often runs specials on microbrewed beers and obscure single-malt scotches, turning little profit but building loyalty.
I've already paid several visits to the Fishbone Grille's six-week-old second location in Coral Gables, across from the University of Miami campus, where the owners have transformed cheesy into chic: Fishbone Grille 2 is attached to a Howard Johnson motel, occupying what was formerly an unmemorable coffee shop. Dinerish qualities remain -- and appealingly so. In particular, the green terrazzo floor is an original (found under a rug, a layer of linoleum, and another of tile). The long narrow room, lined with booths upholstered in green vinyl to accent the floor and trimmed with blond wood, widens toward the back, where a second dining room accommodates bigger tables, for a total of about 130 seats (not including high chairs, of which there seem to be plenty, to judge from the number of pint-size occupants). But clean white walls, dropped spotlights, and a gleaming open kitchen disguise the building's history. If you were to approach this Fishbone from the south and didn't see the motel connection, you'd never guess.
The neighborhood mob that has already found the restaurant without my help jams the place from the minute it opens for dinner. Reservations are an option, but only for parties of six or more, and the crowds can cause some problems: On one visit main courses took an hour to appear. Also, because the owners buy relatively small amounts of fresh seafood daily, specials and fresh-caught fish from the blackboard list may run out. Of course, I'd rather have to make a new choice than be served something old and stinky. And unlike the downtown location, where special starters and main courses are inscribed on the blackboard, here they're all a permanent part of the printed menu. As a result, the Coral Gables Fishbone advertises only raw-bar appetizers (such as Malpeque oysters and Bahamian conch salad) via the blackboard on weekend nights. When they sell out, you're likely to see "Sorry" written after them.
We were disappointed in one of the specials, peel-and-eat shrimp. Steamed in coconut milk and lemon grass, the head-on shrimp were very small and served chilled (not having been informed otherwise, we'd assumed they'd be warm). They had a very faint flavor, requiring us to request cocktail sauce. But lack of zest was a quibble. The shrimp were overcooked and mushy -- so much so that their puniness was a comparative blessing. Some guests of mine who hail from Louisiana compared them to crawfish: big effort, small mouthful.

Healthcare Exchange Deadline Pushed Ahead One Day
Tuesday, December 24, 2013
(Washington, DC) -- Americans still have today to sign up for health insurance on the HealthCare.gov website. The deadline has been changed from yesterday in order to be insured by January 1st. The Obama administration cites "high demand and the fact that consumers may be enrolling from multiple time zones" on HealthCare.gov. President Obama did his part by enrolling in the Washington, DC exchange. It's a symbolic move as the commander-in-chief already receives full coverage from the military.

POSTED: Monday, February 28, 2011 - 9:09am
UPDATED: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - 11:05am
BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) -- Local moms are banding together to raise awareness of an extremely rare disorder, so unusual that some doctors have trouble diagnosing it.
Ten-year-old Fiona Craig has a genetic disorder most people have never heard of. "They say, what's that?" she says when she tells people about her problem.
Fiona's had a tough ten years. In 2003, she went into a catatonic coma. Doctors ran various tests, but nothing seemed to add up. "They could not figure out what was wrong with her," mother, Jill Craig, says. Finally, they diagnosed Fiona with a blood disorder and sent her home. For four more years, her family lived in constant fear that she would succumb to another attack.
In 2007, her sister Zoiey was born. She was diagnosed with a genetic disease called very long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, or VLCAD for short. Her symptoms were similar to Fiona's. When tested, Fiona was also diagnosed with VLCAD.
"I'm scared. Sometimes, I have to end up in the hospital because bad things might happen," Fiona explains. 2008 was a difficult year for the Craigs. Fiona ended up back in the hospital, and Zoiey died from the disorder.
"She has fought so hard," Craig says of Fiona. "Her will to live is so strong."
Now, Fiona has certain things that she has to do to stay healthy. "I can't eat really fatty foods like some people do," she says. "But it's okay. I'm used to it."
Two-year-old Kelli Guillory has VLCAD too. Her mother, Jennifer, met Jill and Fiona through a support group for families with children who suffer from the disorder. Kelli's mutation of the deficiency extremely rare. Her disorder is the only known type in the world. For her, something as average as catching a cold could be extremely dangerous.
"She was hospitalized 24 times in her first year," says Guillory. At two-years-old, Kelli has already undergone emergency surgery.
Guillory says, often times, VLCAD is misdiagnosed. "A lot of babies could have been saved if they'd been diagnosed at birth," she says.
That's why she and Craig want to raise awareness. "If you don't know, how are you going to fight it? You can't fight an unseen foe," Craig says.
The women are making strides. Guillory came across a website for Rare Disease Day. She noticed that Louisiana did not have a day dedicated to rare diseases, so she decided to get in touch with Governor Bobby Jindal to make it happen. Just days ago, Governor Jindal proclaimed February 28th the first ever Rare Disease Day in Louisiana. "I was thrilled," says Guillory. "I didn't know what to expect."
She and Craig hope that Rare Disease Day will help raise awareness about the many different types of VLCAD deficiences out there, and she urges mothers to test for the disorder in newborns. "Make sure its in your newborn screening. Make sure your baby is tested for genetics."
She says the more you know, the easier it will be to fight the disorder. "We want to let people know that this is out there, and if you watch it closely, you can help prevent so many things."
The hope is to give more parents the fighting chance to watch their children grow up. "You just have to be your kids voice and fight for them," says Guillory.

MADD Urging Parents to Talk to Teens About Underage Drinking
POSTED: Monday, September 9, 2013 - 12:21pm
UPDATED: Monday, September 9, 2013 - 12:53pm
EDINBURG, TX (KVEO NEWS CENTER 23) — A recent survey of Texas teens and alcohol reveals that 80 percent of underage students say access to alcohol is easy.
A staggering 86 percent claim it's a common experience for their peers to get drunk, which is why Mothers Against Drunk Driving believes parents can't be naive when it comes to their kids and alcohol.
"As parents, we need to realize out children are gonna be exposed to the temptations of alcohol," said Sarah Sanchez, MADD volunteer. "You want to bring up to your child and let them know the rules that you have, and add that to your parenting skills that you already have in place."
Teen alcohol use kills about 5,000 people each year, and underage drinking often results in drunk driving. Hidalgo and Cameron County are two of the highest regions in Texas with alcohol-related crashes.
Parents are encouraged to be open with their kids and let them know they have options if they encounter a bad situation.
"You want to reiterate to your children that you find it very important that they do have that in them where they can stop and say 'no, I will get a ride from my parents,' and that they feel comfortable enough to give you a call and let you know the situation," Sanchez stated.
Taking that first step in bringing up underage drinking to you children can be difficult, which is why MADD offers a program called Power of Parents to help.
"We're trying to provide them with all the kinds of key elements and tips to give them a better conversation starter so that they can bring up the issue of alcohol with their child," said Sanchez. "Also, it gives them tips on how to approach that touchy subject.
A subject that is best brought up before your children find themselves sitting in the back of a police car.

I have lived through three hurricanes: Frances, Jeanne and Wilma. Two cat 3's and a 2. Frances and Jeanne were just a few weeks apart in the fall of 2004. Wilma was October 2005.
I have also lived through some unpleasant life stuff, like getting sober, getting divorced (twice) and losing my parents and dog to cancer during a really awful two years. But nothing – NOTHING – quite compares to the mind "f-bomb" of a hurricane. Millions of people in the northeast know what I'm talking about. Unless you have been a through a catastrophic hurricane it's hard to describe.
First, there is anxiety as you obsessively watch the Weather Channel in the days before the storm.
[caption id="attachment_3817" align="alignright" width="350"] Photo by Leonard Zhukovsky[/caption]All those colored lines showing the different paths the hurricane could take…it starts looking like the meterologists just threw a bunch of spaghetti against a map. The shelves of the soup aisle at the grocery store are bare. Bottled water – Gone. Batteries – gone. Candles – gone. Coolers – gone.
If you've never seen your grocery store shelves empty, it's freaky in a very stressful kind of way. You can't buy plywood and you won't find tapcons for miles. I almost got into a fight with a guy at Sears who was pondering the last 18v cordless drill on the shelf when I walked up and grabbed it. Sorry buddy, you snooze, you lose.
Then there is the actual storm. Your windows are boarded up so you can't see what's going on out there but you can hear it. Stuff smashing against your house. The walls of your house literally vibrate. You lose the Weather Channel when the electricity goes out so have no idea how much longer the storm will go on. Frances lasted 18 hours. Relentless.
No cell phone reception. The dog – totally freaked out – poops in the house. During one of the hurricanes – I forget which one – I held my front door closed for two hours as the wind pushed it open and water poured underneath. "Mom, are we going to be okay?" "Sure, honey, go back to bed," said me, the single mom lying through my teeth.

I have comcast internet only, at an elevated rate (71.00 a month with the increase for Xfinity). What benefits are available for internet only customers, if any. Also can we opt out of the xfinity service and decrease our bill? Thanks for your help.
This is a customer to customer help forum, no one from Comcast is reading this to answer your questions about options. You will either need to call or go to the blue SHOP tab and see what deals would be available for existing customers.
The Xfinity thing is just a branding name change for Comcast services. Comcast internet service alone generally costs more than if you added another service with them. In my area if I did not have tv service with the internet it would cost me $15 more per month for the Internet than what I pay with the TV service.
I keep Limited Basic TV service just to keep the Internet price down.
If it's roughly $67 for internet only (including taxes). How much can I expect to pay for Internet plus limited basic tv?

Triglycerides are free fatty acids that float in the blood. Look at your most recent blood work and you'll find triglycerides in the lipid panel section along with cholesterol. Generally, triglycerides go up when a person consumes too many carbohydrates and is usually part of the diabetic blood picture. The body will use triglycerides as fuel when it has a difficult time utilizing glucose. Levels between 75-100 mg/dl are ideal. What does it mean when level go below 75?
One of two possibilities are occurring in that situation:
- You are eating very little fat (almost none) or
- You are experiencing malabsorption
Malaborption occurs when the small intestines cannot pull "broken down" food particles across the intestinal wall. There are many reasons this can happen including:
- Infection in the GI system (H. Pylori is a common infection causing low acid production and poor mineral absorption)
- Food sensitivity (especially gluten, dairy, and soy causing inflammation and damage of the lining of the small intestine) BIG, OFTEN UNKNOWN CULPRIT!
- Gall Bladder issues (the gall bladder is the storage pouch for bile. Bile helps with the absorption of fats)
- Diseases like Crohn's, IBD, etc.
- Malnutrition
- Cancer
Here's the Problem
Your doctor will probably praise you for having low triglycerides instead of considering the negative health implications. We have an antiFAT (cholesterol/trigylcerides) mentality in health care. There has been a war against high cholesterol for years. So much so that we forget about the ideal ranges continuing to push those levels ever lower.
What Should You Do?
I write more about what is healthy regarding a lipid panel in the future but if your triglyceride levels are lower than 75 consider this a bad sign. Understanding the interplay between diet and our metabolism is complicated and requires specific testing to determine the best direction. After taking a history and reviewing general lab work the most important testing to run is Intestinal Permeability and Specific Food Sensitivity Tests. These tests provide a very good understanding of intestinal integrity. Additionally, running tests to look for parasites and other infections can be helpful.

What do you think of the
Billabong Cambell Dress - Women's
? Share a...
So cute, but low quality
-true to size
-good coverage on top (no bra needed!)
-short! (full disclosure- I'm 5'11". Probably would be fine on shorter people)
-Fabric is a very loose weave and looks like the seams will separate if any force is put on them (check out the fabric details above). Evidence of this- I bought this dress off the floor and it looked like someone had tried it on already and pulled too hard on the seams. There were two big tears right along the left seam. I got a new one and looked over the fabric really carefully, and I just don't think it will hold up to any sort of stress.
Although I really wanted to love this dress I ended up returning it because I couldn't picture it holding up through more than one wear. :(

A former supervisor for Emergency Medical Services in East Baton Rouge Parish has settled a lawsuit that claimed he was wrongfully demoted for a "high-level security breach" in which a group of Muslims delivered dinners and Qurans to the emergency communications center on the ninth anniversary of 9/11.
Jeremy Torres sued the city-parish after he and a colleague were disciplined for leaving the group unattended in the lobby of the Mayor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness building.
Torres' attorney, Jill Craft, has characterized the discipline as an "appalling" overreaction fueled by "illegal racial and religious profiling." She said no security issues were raised when Christian organizations made deliveries to the building.

Publisher's synopsis:
Mrs. Sookie Poole of Point Clear, Alabama, has just married off the last of her daughters and is looking forward to relaxing and perhaps traveling with her husband, Earle. The only thing left to contend with is her mother, the formidable Lenore Simmons Krackenberry. Lenore may be a lot of fun for other people, but is, for the most part, an overbearing presence for her daughter. Then one day, quite by accident, Sookie discovers a secret about her mother's past that knocks her for a loop and suddenly calls into question everything she ever thought she knew about herself, her family, and her future.
Sookie begins a search for answers that takes her to California, the Midwest, and back in time, to the 1940s, when an irrepressible woman named Fritzi takes on the job of running her family's filling station. Soon truck drivers are changing their routes to fill up at the All-Girl Filling Station. Then, Fritzi sees an opportunity for an even more groundbreaking adventure. As Sookie learns about the adventures of the girls at the All-Girl Filling Station, she finds herself with new inspiration for her own life.
Fabulous, fun-filled, spanning decades and generations, and centered on a little-known aspect of America's twentieth-century story, The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion is another irresistible novel by the remarkable Fannie Flagg.
This book was a surprise. It was very good plus I learned something. I have read very little about WASP . These were some amazing women. I was very impressed with the research Fannie Flagg did about these wonderful women.
This book was humorous and great read about some great women.

Idaho Sen. Larry Craig is a conservative Republican who has voted against gay marriage and opposes hate crimes legislation that would extend special protections to gay and lesbian crime victims.
In the wake of Craig's guilty plea on misdemeanor charges stemming from complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis airport, his political future is in question.
The three-term senator, who has represented Idaho in Congress for more than a quarter-century, is up for re-election next year. He hasn't said if he will run for a fourth term in 2008 and was expected to announce his plans this fall.
A spokesman, Sidney Smith, was uncertain late Monday if Craig's guilty plea would affect his re-election plans.
"It's too early to talk about anything about that," Smith said.
A political science professor in Idaho said Craig's political future was in jeopardy. And a spokesman for the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, Hannah August, said Craig's guilty plea "has given Americans another reason not to vote Republican" next year.
The married Craig, 62, has faced rumors about his sexuality since the 1980s, but allegations that he has engaged in gay sex have never been substantiated. Craig has denied the assertions, which he calls ridiculous.
The arrest changes that dynamic, said Jasper LiCalzi, a political science professor at Albertson College of Idaho in Caldwell, Idaho. He cited the House page scandal that drove Florida Rep. Mark Foley from office.
"There's a chance that he'll resign over this," LiCalzi said. "With the pressure on the Republican Party, he could be pressured to resign. If they think this is going to be something that's the same as Mark Foley — the sort of 'drip, drip, drip, there's more information that's going to come out' — they may try to push him out."
Already Craig has stepped down from a prominent role with Mitt Romney's presidential campaign. He had been one of Romney's top Senate supporters, serving as a Senate liaison for the campaign since February.
"He did not want to be a distraction and we accept his decision," said Matt Rhoades, a Romney campaign spokesman.
According to a Hennepin County, Minn., court docket, Craig pleaded guilty to a disorderly conduct charge on Aug. 8, with the court dismissing a charge of gross misdemeanor interference to privacy.
The court docket said Craig paid $575 in fines and fees and was put on unsupervised probation for a year. A sentence of 10 days in the county workhouse was stayed.
Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, which first reported the case, said on its Web site Monday that Craig was arrested June 11 by a plainclothes officer investigating complaints of lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the airport.
Minneapolis airport police declined to provide a copy of the arrest report after business hours Monday.
Roll Call, citing the report, said Sgt. Dave Karsnia made the arrest after an encounter in which he was seated in a stall next to a stall occupied by Craig. Karsnia described Craig tapping his foot, which Karsnia said he "recognized as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct."
Roll Call quoted the Aug. 8 police report as saying that Craig had handed the arresting officer a business card that identified him as a member of the Senate.
"What do you think about that?" Craig is alleged to have said, according to the report.
Craig said in a statement issued by his office Monday that he was not involved in any inappropriate conduct.
"At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions," he said. "I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."
Craig joins other GOP senators facing ethical and legal troubles.
Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, is under scrutiny for his relationship with a contractor who helped oversee a renovation project that more than doubled the size of the senator's home.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., acknowledged that his phone number appeared in records of a Washington-area business that prosecutors have said was a front for prostitution.
Craig, a rancher and a member of the National Rifle Association, lives in Eagle, Idaho, near the capital of Boise. He was a member of the House for 10 years before winning election to the Senate in 1990. He was re-elected in 1996 and 2002.
Last fall, Craig called allegations from a gay-rights activist that he's had homosexual relationships "completely ridiculous."
Mike Rogers, who bills himself as a gay activist blogger, published the allegations on his Web site, http://www.blogactive.com, in October 2006.
Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, an advocacy group, on Monday called Craig a hypocrite.
"What's up with elected officials like Senator Craig? They stand for so-called family values and fight basic protections for gay people while furtively seeking other men for sex," Foreman said.
Associated Press writers Steve Karnowski in Minneapolis and John Miller in Boise contributed to this story.

QUOTE: "He's a Bad Boy, a Naughty Boy,… probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy."
Larry Craig on Meet the Press, January 24, 1999, talking about, you guessed it… Bill Clinton.
Oh, the irony!
Well, he seems to know all about Clinton, huh? I wonder if the Senator would come out and tell us whether he was fishing to be on the giving or receiving end of this episode had it been successful? At least, Clinton was hetrosexual with his experiences. Not to critize those who are not, but it sure is hypocritical of the senator to mention Clinton, while HE himself is/was hiding in the closet.
He's from Idaho…
…and has a secret addiction to native cuisine – trouser trout –
…but he's not gay –
…he just thought this would all go away –
…damned Idaho Statesman newspaper for hounding him –
…probably have the mud ready too –
Lets see…we have a moral, political and financial implosion happening in parallel….so I would suspect as the stock market slides into a blackhole and we continue to see the sickness, lies and make believe exposed in this nation the phrase "THE END" is becoming very meaningful.
This one is hiding is a stall is public restroom soliciting total strangers he knows nothing about and, in this case, can't even see. That's about as low as you can be on the rungs of those hiding their homosexuality isn't it? It's also the riskiest in many respects and certainly the dumbest. Did anyone ask him what he was doing at the airport?
I'm just happy he ran into an honest cop who would not be impressed by a US senator or the threatening hissy he had and just slapped the cuffs on. Too bad they could not charge him with the Lewd part. He's lucky it wasn't resisting arrest. That's a felony.
Today I received notice of selection for federal jury duty. I hope I get lucky and sit on one of the juries for some repugnat asshole that will eventually be charged with something. "Oh sure, Mr defense Lawyer, I can keep an open mind."
"This one is hiding i[n] a stall i[n] a public restroom soliciting total strangers he knows nothing about and, in this case, can't even see. That's about as low as you can be on the rungs of those hiding their homosexuality isn't it?"
Are you talking about the police officer, SEAL? I agree.
Hiding in a washroom to see how many gays you can arrest is about as low as a police officer can get.
The Minneapolis police department surely has better things to do with its resources than have its officers sitting in toilet stalls, soliciting strangers.
Some More to this story:
According to the local newspaper there have been rumors about the senator's sex orientation since the 1980's but never anything concrete about activities.
The official police complaint on Craig's case was detailed.
It said airport police Sgt. Dave Karsnia, who was investigating allegations of sexual conduct in airport restrooms, went into a stall shortly after noon on June 11 and closed the door.
Minutes later, the officer said he saw Craig gazing into his stall through the crack between the door and the frame.
After a man in the adjacent stall left, Craig entered it and put his roller bag against the front of the stall door, "which Sgt. Karsnia's experience has indicated is used to attempt to conceal sexual conduct by blocking the view from the front of the stall," said the complaint, which was dated June 25.
The complaint said Craig then tapped his right foot several times and moved it closer to Karsnia's stall and then moved it to where it touched Karsnia's foot. Karsnia recognized that "as a signal often used by persons communicating a desire to engage in sexual conduct," the complaint said.
Craig then passed his left hand under the stall divider into Karsnia's stall with his palm up and guided it along the divider toward the front of the stall three times, the complaint said.
The officer then showed his police identification under the divider and pointed toward the exit "at which time the defendant exclaimed `No!'" the complaint said.
The Aug. 8 police report says Craig handed the arresting officer a business card that identified him as a member of the Senate.
"What do you think about that?" Craig is alleged to have said, according to the report.
It's obvious what he thought about it > Whoopie! A big fish.
BTW: I agree that having cops out trying to catch people engaging in any kind of sexual activity is absolutely the lowest form of law enforcement and should be abolished.
In fact, the recent supreme court decision in Lawrence v Texas nullified all state laws against sodomy and established the right to all "private sexual conduct." Therefore, public solicitation for sex to be conducted in private could not be a crime, either. I guess that is why he wasn't charged with that. Now, the homophobes will call it disorderly conduct? What can I say?
Now that's fun, SEAL. Thanks for the additional detail, which I hadn't read anywhere else. Hmmm. Seems like Senator Craig was doing rather more than a shoe shuffle.
Still, his public statement is true — he is not gay. Being "gay" involves being comfortable in public with one's sexual orientation. Clearly Craig is not.
Will he go on record as saying, "I am not a closeted homosexual and never have been" ?
But when all is said and done, I still find it wrong that a large-city police force spends resources on attempting to entrap such pathetic characters. There are murders, rapes, drug sales, and potential terrorism, but Minneapolis cops are reduced to checking out whether "he tapped his feet." Surely they have better things to do than sit in toilet stalls?
"Daddy, what did you do in the war?"
Jerry asks:
Will he go on record as saying, "I am not a closeted homosexual and never have been" ?
He has done that. The senate is conducting their inquiry to see if any further action by them is warranted for his breaking the law and pleading guilty to disorderly conduct. But we know what they will really be looking for.
I realize we set up sting operations to catch child molesters and I feel this may be setting up some innocent people. The ones shown on NBC are obviously guilty or they wouldn't be shown on national television.
I also realize that for many years our Congress was safe from traffic tickets and other problems but I fear that this last Craig mess could be a start to partisan spying for political reasons.
This whole situation with Craig reminds me of the days of the Inquisition where innocent people were tortured to confess just to make the inquisitioners look good.
The GOP has turned into a modern day inquisition and it should be stopped. Shut up, you hypocrites and let's get this damn war over with. Until the GOP gives up this nasty attitude about being morally superior we should never vote for another one.
We have seen the true colors of the Conservatives and how they are so careful to bring other social conservatives into our government and yet fail to live up to their holy reputations. This is just another reason not to vote for a Republican in 2008 as one more social conservative Supreme Court Justice will turn America into a hateful bunch of Salem Witch hunters. Please…..no Huckabee, no Romney….no GOP in the White House. I don't even trust Ron Paul. No more hypocrites!
If the Republican Party can stop this assault on our lives, and can get back to a limited government with all individual and natural rights restored, maybe.
Why couldnt he be normal and just go get any prostitute or escort then knocking on stall walls. I head up to canada for montreal escorts anytime i want a good time, spitzer had his girl. How nasty to be checking out public bathrooms.
public bathrooms? at least he wasn't toting around a seattle porta potty and holding hands with his lover…
This sounds terrible.lol.Well its their own rights.
Didn't you hear about our political leaders? There was a recent scandal with the escort agencies in London. They seem to be under a lot of stress and they needed some relaxation… that kind of relaxation.
In a way, I feel sorry for the guy. I mean Larry Craig probably just hasn't me the right woman. I mean what kind of woman would date or marry this guys in Washington? Take a clue from Elliot Spitzer, but be smarter. Do it out of the country. Montreal is very close by and you can have your fun legally with so many beautiful French Canadian Montreal Escorts.
I should also mention that are no legal issues – Canada is far more open minded about this stuff and if Larry was in Canada, this would barely have made the news.
Montreal Escorts
Well to say this country is falling apart from top to bottom would be putting it mildly. Its blowing apart. Added to this political halestorm is a global financial implosion fixing to make the (1929 depression) look like good times.
Keep your KY ointment close at hand and practice bending over a few times. Nothing like being prepared.
I'm surprised he didn't claim to be on a fact finding mission or auditioning for tap school.NOW PLAYING,Politicians Versus Piety, the next off Broadway hit.Starring ,The Moral Majority Players, Cameos by Washingtons biggest movers and shakers,with a special performance by the committee to further promote Hypocrisy in Government. Tickets available at your local OutHouse vendors or at the doors of the Capitol building.
So another bombastic, gay bashing Republitard is caught attempting to find sexual gratification with another man – ahh how the mighty members of the moralist wing are falling.
I wonder if "W" is going to describe Larry as another fine, moral man of the people being dragged through the mud?
When are the Zombies of this nation going to wake up and start giving a damn about their country? If he lied about something as simple and, well, meaningless as his sexuality it makes you wonder what other bullshit he was spreading on more important, vital topics ….
A powerful blockhead and phony. Maybe this Nazi will find Jesus like all the others.
John Hanks, Laramie, Wyoming
Ok – this is going to offend some and make others spit coffee at their computers while falling out of their seats – many apologies in advance – but …
Craig wasn't really doing anything wrong – he was just trying to get his shit packed before the flight –
There – I said it – I'm preparing to go down in flames ….
Steve have you lost your mind? Am I missing something here?
Your comments are always excellent so I have got to be missing your point.
Stop the LIBERAL MEDIA PRESSES!!!!
Could you imagine a Democrat Senator being ticketed for jay-walking and not making headlines.
Seems to me the rest of the story is who was hiding this and why.
The arrest occurred on June 11th, the conviction on August 8th and here we are at the end of August and the media is just now reporting on this….
What the **ck, who's ducks needed to get in row?
Yo..Capitol Hill Blues…how a bit of "journalistic" investigation?
Now we are beginning to get a clearer understanding exactly why the Republicans in the Senate and House always seem to vote in a bloc. No one wants to be 'outed' and lose their plush seat at the very height of importance.
What these egotistic men have yet to learn is that what goes Up has to come Down, sooner or later. I'm sure not saying that Democrats are any less hypocritical than their counterparts , as I doubt if that is the case. It just proves once again that you cannot judge what is inside a package by it's fancy wrappings.
It is no wonder understanding how the treasonous actions our Congress has taken in light of such depravity. They all must go if there is any hope of restoring our republic.
mr. hirsh
Maybe they can blame Clinton for this one too. Or poor Michael Vick. Or Attorney Gonzales who died for your sins. You see, the air was so hot and heavy, gism all around, Craig had to have been pulled into it. Like this councilwoman in Seattle who keeps getting in trouble and blaming the other drunken driver, or her husband, or the bus driver.(in today's Seattle P-I) Or, maybe Craig'll resign and go into the Republican Resignation Hall of Fame.

Apple's Tim Cook defends tax strategy in Senate
The technology giant Apple has been defending itself against accusations that it's avoided paying tax on tens of billions of dollars in profits.
Chief executive Tim Cook told a US Senate committee Apple paid all the taxes it owed, complying with both the law, and the spirit of the law.
He said last year it paid $6bn to the US Treasury, a tax rate of about 30%.
Earlier, the head of a Senate committee panel accused Apple of "exploiting an absurdity" in its tax payments.
Apple's grilling comes as leading global brands are under growing scrutiny over their tax methods.
Apple is a US success story. Its iPods, iPhones and iPads are known all around the world. It has earned a reputation for engineering creative and popular products.
But it has some baggage too. Apple's manufacturing practices in China have been criticised. And now US lawmakers are calling the tech giant to task for not paying its fair share of taxes.
Apple boss Tim Cook forcefully defended his company's financial practices: The problem isn't us, it's the way the US tax law is written, and there should be a dramatic overhaul of the corporate US tax code.
That may be, but it doesn't change the fact "Apple is exploiting an absurdity," according to one US senator.
A central theme in this post-financial crisis environment is getting wealthy Americans to pay their fair share in taxes. So it's not too surprising congressional leaders are coming after multinationals that are, in their opinion, also not paying their fair share.
Google, Amazon and Starbucks have all appeared recently in front of UK politicians to answer questions about their affairs.
One country where Apple has a favourable tax regime is the Republic of Ireland.
Apple's appearance comes just a day after the same panel branded Apple's complex structure the "Holy Grail of tax avoidance".
On Monday, the Subcommittee said Apple had used "a complex web of offshore entities" to avoid paying billions of dollars in US income taxes. But it said there was no indication the firm had acted illegally.
Mr Cook told the panel that a "dramatic simplification" of US tax laws was required, and said the firm believed that reform should be "revenue neutral".
Legal webApple has been accused by The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which has been examining "methods employed by multinational corporations to shift profits offshore", of being "among America's largest tax avoiders".
Committee member John McCain said although the action taken by Apple was legal, it could be unfair to other companies: "My question is, couldn't one draw the conclusion that you and Apple have an unfair advantage over domestic based corporations and companies, in other words, smaller companies in this country that don't have the same ability that you do to locate in Ireland or other countries overseas?"
Mr Cook said he believed Apple was one of the largest taxpayers in the US, having paid $6bn in federal corporate income tax in the 2012 fiscal year.
Mr McCain said: "Apple claims to be the largest US corporate taxpayer, but by sheer size and scale, it is also among America's largest tax avoiders."
Apple has a cash stockpile of $145bn (£95bn), but the Senate committee said $102bn of this was held offshore.
Mr Cook also told the hearing that Apple considered itself an American firm, and was one that had created jobs across the country.
"We are proud to be an American company, and equally proud of our contribution to the American economy," he said.
'Holy Grail'In its report into Apple, the subcommittee's chairman Carl Levin said: "Apple wasn't satisfied with shifting its profits to a low-tax offshore tax haven.
"Apple sought the Holy Grail of tax avoidance. It has created offshore entities holding tens of billions of dollars, while claiming to be tax resident nowhere."
"Start Quote
End QuoteFor Apple to be seen as the world's greatest accumulator of cash that seemingly has little productive use may not be adding lustre to its image"
Apple has stated: "Apple does not move its intellectual property into offshore tax havens and use it to sell products back into the US in order to avoid US tax.
"It does not use revolving loans from foreign subsidiaries to fund its domestic operations; it does not hold money on a Caribbean island; and it does not have a bank account in the Cayman Islands."
It added that it had "substantial" foreign cash because it sells the majority of its products outside the US, and these foreign earnings were taxed in the jurisdictions where they were earned.

Old School Tunes
Clementine Revives Classic Amarok
Zonker takes a look at Clementine, a full-featured media player for Linux that can manage your collection as well as play your tunes.
Although people say they want change, they don't really mean it. At least not when it means trading the tried and true for an unfamiliar design. Case in point: The Amarok developers worked long and hard to update and modernize the user interface of Amarok, only to find many users preferred the old school media player. The result? Clementine, a player "inspired by" Amarok 1.4 but updated to take advantage of the Qt4 toolkit.

Lionel Messi was taken by surprise during Argentina's training session on Wednesday by a pitch invader he briefly mistook for his former Barcelona teammate and friend Ronaldinho. The pitch-invader, Robinson Oliveira said: "When he saw me he was shocked because he thought I was the real Ronaldinho and he told me that I didn't need to run on the pitch to see him.
"He said: 'What are you doing running on here to see me?' When he held my hand, I went down on my knees [and bowed]. It was so emotional."
