ROCKVILLE, MD—Choice Hotels International, Inc. has expanded its international portfolio by welcoming its first ever property in Turkey: Clarion Hotel & Suites Istanbul Sisli, a newly built hotel located between the Levent and Taksim business areas. "We are very excited about the opening of the first Choice hotel in Turkey with the Clarion brand.

We are pleased to have a presence in one of the most vibrant cities that straddles both Europe and the Middle East," said Mark Pearce, SVP/international division, Choice Hotels International.

The theme of this year's ALIS conference was "Don't Worry, Be Happy." But, lets face it, there are always going to be some people who aren't happy unless they are worried about something—whether it's the Fed potentially raising interest rates or that the price of oil is now too low, threatening to cripple the economies of some foreign nations.

Your Letters
I just came from a meeting in Alexandria: "Day At Home in Region IV." This meeting was supposed to be a place for mental health consumers and mental health providers to hear presentations by mental health advocates and Commissioner Jessen from Minnesota's Department of Human Services. The morning went very well as the advocacy groups encouraged the consumers as well as providers to share stories to put a personal face on the issues surrounding mental illness.

35 year old woman | McKeesport, PA, USA | Seeking men 27-38 within 50 miles
I am kind, sweet, positive, and loyal. I love life and my job. I cherish my family and friends, they mean the world to me. I am by no means perfect in anyway, but I always mean well. I truely try to follow the golden rule at all times. I do not like drama. I have never been married and plan to only get married once. I am looking for someone to share my happiness, to cuddle with, and who likes to laugh and be silly. I would like someone who is willing to try new things and is willing to teach me new things. If this sounds like you, let me hear from you.
I have Dogs
My favorite TV show is Big Bang Theory. I also enjoy watching football and hockey (very sad this year with the lock out). I enjoy playing fantasy football with my brothers, and learning new things.
I like a multitude of things. I enjoy reading, shopping, watching movies, and hanging out with my friends. I like to try new things. I went white water rafting for the first time this summer, I LOVED it!! New and thrilling things excite me!
The last book I finished reading is Fifty Shades Freed. However, I am in the process of reading the Game of Thrones series (I have stopped at book 5 because book 6 doesn't come out for a while). I like fantasy and love stories.

Barley Salad with Parsley and Walnuts
Barley is versatile enough to be served warm or at room temperature, as in this terrific salad with walnuts, parsley and salty bits of ricotta salata cheese in a lemon-garlic vinaigrette. It can be served as a main course or as a side for grilled chicken or pork.

1 (1 pound) package bacon
1 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Very Good. The only thing I would change is using whole tomato's to diced tomato's since you end up cutting them up anyway. Very yummy. I opted out of the cream cheese. Need less of quantity for us 5 people.
Very tasty! Have never had tomato gravy before, but this is EASY and makes a great breakfast! Have to say it's biggest downfall is the pink color..But really was GOOD!
5 Ratings
Wanted to try something new and this was it. Fairly easy to make - I used peeled, crushed tomatoes and left out the cream cheese. It is still on the stove, haven't served it yet but my taste-testing tell me this is something that will be very versatile and I will be making it agaiin. Thanks for posting this for us Yankees, Bella.

- Unable to divine the fate of Greece's bailout program, the ECB earlier withdrew a waiver which had allowed the use of Greek government paper as collateral for borrowing despite its low credit rating.
- Alongside a drop in U.S. stocks, the euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) has given up about 40 pips in minutes, now lower by 0.8% on the session at $1.1386.
- European markets are closed, but the Stoxx 50 ETF (FEZ -2.1%) - trading in New York - takes a tumble. Others of note: Spain (EWP -2.7%), Italy (EWI -2.6%), France (EWQ -1.8%), Germany (EWG -1.6%), U.K. (EWU -0.9%).
- Broad European ETFs: VGK, FEZ, IEV, HEDJ, EPV, EZU, FEU, FEP, UPV, EURL, ADRU, FEEU, DBEU, IEUR, FIEU, ESTX, HEZU, SBEU, DBEZ, FEUZ
- Euro ETFs: FXE, EUO, ERO, DRR, EUFX, ULE, URR
Sun, Jan. 25, 8:43 PM
- S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) futures are down 0.65%, DJIA (NYSEARCA:DIA) by 0.7%, and Nasdaq 100 (NASDAQ:QQQ) by 0.6% as the left-wing, anti-austerity Syriza party takes power in Greece. Looking like it's going to wind up with about half the seats in parliament, Syriza has just cut a deal with the small, right-wing Independent Greeks party to form a coalition government.
- The two share little in common except for opposition of the austerity measures imposed on Greece by the Troika.
- German Dax (NYSEARCA:EWG) futures are lower by 0.9%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) by 0.8%, and the U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) by 0.6%.
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) sunk to as low as $1.1099 in early trade this evening, but is currently off just 0.3% to $1.1171.
- European and euro ETFs: FXE, VGK, EUO, FEZ, ERO, IEV, HEDJ, EPV, EZU, DRR, FEU, FEP, EUFX, UPV, ULE, EURL, URR, ADRU, FEEU, DBEU, IEUR, FIEU, HEZU, ESTX, FEUZ, DBEZ
- Greek ETF: GREK
- Previously: Anti-austerity Syriza set to sweep Greek elections (Jan. 25)
Fri, Jan. 16, 11:15 AM
- There's a lot of talk about the carnage resulting from the SNB's move yesterday to drop the euro peg, but - outside of Switzerland - Europe is rallying for a 2nd consecutive session.
- First, the Swiss move has led to a sharply weaker euro, not just against the franc, but vs. the dollar, pound, and yen. Second, the SNB likely dropped the peg after realizing - whether by friendly phone call from Frankfurt or otherwise - that the ECB is set to launch a massive QE program next week.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) is up another 1.6% today, with Germany's (NYSEARCA:EWG) DAX up 1.5% to an all-time high, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) +0.9%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) +1.8%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) +0.5%, and the U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) +1.1%.
- Parity here we come? The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) is down another 1% vs. the dollar to just $1.1509.
- ETFs: FXE, VGK, EUO, FEZ, ERO, IEV, HEDJ, EPV, EZU, DRR, FEU, FEP, EUFX, UPV, ULE, EURL, URR, ADRU, FEEU, DBEU, IEUR, FIEU, HEZU, ESTX, FEUZ, DBEZ
- Previously: Europe liking SNB's cutting the euro loose (Jan. 15)
Thu, Jan. 15, 10:32 AM
- Europe initially knee-jerked lower on the SNB's shock decision to abandon the CHF 1.20 floor for euro/franc, but has since turned sharply higher as investors mull the salutary effects of a much cheaper euro, now down 1.4% vs. the greenback and 12.8% vs. the swissie. FXE -1.4%
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) +2.3%, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) +2.2%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) +2.5%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) +2.8%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) +1.5%. The U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) - where the pound (NYSEARCA:FXB) is lower by 0.3% vs. the dollar and 11.8% vs. the franc - is ahead by 1.5%.
- ETFs: VGK, FEZ, IEV, HEDJ, EPV, EZU, FEU, FEP, UPV, EURL, ADRU, FEEU, DBEU, IEUR, FIEU, HEZU, ESTX, FEUZ, DBEZ
- Previously: Swatch boss: "Tsunami" just hit Swiss exporters (Jan. 15)
Mon, Jan. 5, 11:54 AM
- Europe closes on the lows, the Stoxx 50's (NYSEARCA:FEZ) 3.7% decline led by Italy's 4.8% slump. Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) -3%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) -3.3%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) -3.5%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) -2.1%.
- "Grexit" fears were rekindled by a weekend story in Der Spiegel suggesting Angela Merkel feels financial markets are stable enough to handle Greece's withdrawal from EMU. Veterans of the EU debt crisis have seen way too many of these weekend sorties from the Germans to take them seriously, but, for today, it's having its effect. As far as we know, Mario Draghi's "whatever it takes" pledge still holds.
- Athens fell more than 5% today. GREK -6.8%, NBG -8.4%
Dec. 16, 2014, 11:49 AM
- Stocks have reversed opening losses to turn sharply higher, with the Dow (NYSEARCA:DIA) and S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) each ahead by more than 1%, and the Nasdaq (NASDAQ:QQQ) higher by 0.7%. Alongside that turnaround is oil (NYSEARCA:USO), which plunged to a $53 handle earlier in the session, but is now ahead by 1.4% to $56.70.

Dec. 5, 2014, 7:55 AM
- Yesterday's European market tantrum as Mario Draghi failed to deliver assurances of QE has been mostly reversed in today's session as the ECB leaks plans for an asset-purchase proposal to be on the table at January's policy meeting.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) +1.7%, with Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) +2.2%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) +1.8%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) +1.3%, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) +1.4%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) +0.8%.

Dec. 4, 2014, 9:06 AM
- The decision on the ECB's balance sheet target was "not unanimous," says Mario Draghi at his post-policy meeting press conference - code for the "Germans are not yet on board for full-scale QE."
- Veterans of the EU debt crisis have seen this play before. The Germans balk, markets tank, Draghi works it a bit longer, the Germans balk some more, Draghi works it even more, the central bank eventually moves forward with additional stimulus.
- Updated ECB staff projections: 2015 GDP growth of 1% vs. 1.6% three months ago. 2015 inflation of 0.7% vs. 1.3% three months ago.
- We're currently in the tanking phase, with the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) now lower by 1.3%, led by Italy's (NYSEARCA:EWI) 2.4% and Spain's (NYSEARCA:EWP) 1.9% declines. Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) is lower by 0.7%, and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) by 1%.
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) surges higher, now up 0.6% at $1.2386.

- Previously: ECB stays on hold; Draghi press conference in 45 minutes
Nov. 21, 2014, 7:27 AM
- "We will do what we must to raise inflation and inflation expectations as fast as possible," Mario Draghi told a banking conference, promising faster asset purchases as needed.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) is higher by 2.2%, led by a 2.4% gain in Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) and a 2.3% advance in Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI). Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) are up 2%, and the U.K. by 1%.
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) is down 0.9% and buying $1.2432.

Nov. 7, 2014, 11:47 AM
- Not much is going on with the major U.S. averages as they digest the fast pace of earnings and today's inline-to-strong jobs number, but Europe's heading for a nasty close, with the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) lower by 1.2%, including Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) each down 1%.
- Possible excuses are the lack of movement on further ECB stimulus and Ukraine's claims of 32 Russian tanks rolling into its country.
- Also on the move is gold (GLD +1.9%) after an ugly run lower over the past couple of weeks.
- Meanwhile, 10-year Treasury yields - with the prospect of rate hikes next year made even more definite by today's jobs number - are sharply lower, down nine basis points to 2.31%. TLT +0.9%, TBT -1.8%
- Previously: Jobs +214K, UE rate to 5.8%
Sep. 4, 2014, 8:46 AM
- The ECB cut its growth forecast for the EU for 2014 and 2015, says Mario Draghi at his post-meeting press conference, but raised its outlook for 2016. Inflation is seen at lower-than-expected levels in the coming months before increasing gradually in 2016.
- The central bank, says Draghi, will start to purchase a broad portfolio of euro-denominated covered bonds and also begin to buy ABS, with further details coming in October. It sounds like the Germans are on board: "Should it become necessary, the Governing Council is unanimous in using additional measures."
- The Stoxx 50 is now higher by 1.5% and the euro lower by 1% to $1.3015.
- ETFs: FXE, VGK, EUO, EWG, FEZ, EWP, ERO, IEV, HEDJ, EPV, EZU, EWQ, DRR, FEU, FEP, UPV, EUFX, ULE, DBGR, ADRU, DXGE, FEEU, URR, EURL, FGM, EURZ, DBEU, QDEU, IEUR, FIEU, HEWG, QESP
- Previously: Euro tumbles, stocks gain as ECB cuts rates
Jun. 5, 2014, 7:55 AM
- The Stoxx 50 (FEZ) is up 0.8% after being about flat ahead of the ECB rate decision, at which the central bank cut all three of its benchmark rates, including taking the deposit facility rate into negative territory.
- Italy (EWI) with a 1.3% gain and France (EWQ) ahead 1% lead the way.
- The euro (FXE) tumbles about 40 pips, now off 0.3% on the session and buying $1.3563.

- Manufacturing output grew to 52.8 from 50.8.

- The CAC 40 (EWQ) is -1.5%, brought down be events in Ukraine. (PR)
Nov. 21, 2013, 3:14 AM
- French flash manufacturing PMI has fallen to 47.8 in November from 49.1 in October and missed consensus of 49.5.
- Services dropped to 48.8 from 50.9 and vs 51.
- Manufacturing output declined to 47.2 from 49.
- Composite output slipped to 48.5 from 50.5.
- "The poor set of figures underline the fragility of the economy in the face of a persistently anemic demand environment," Markit says. "Although remaining above the levels seen in the first half of the year, PMI data highlight the risk of a return to recession for France in Q4 following the 0.1% fall in GDP during Q3."
- The CAC 40 (EWQ) take a dive and is -0.9%. The euro also tumbles and is -0.3% at $1.3402. (PR)

Killarney residents have reacted to furiously to a piece by Irish American journalist Dave Hannigan which lambasted Killarney residents for ripping off American tourists for years.
The piece was also critical of the Irish government's decision to issue heritage certificates to the Irish diaspora, which Hannigan categorized as a "money grab sponsored by Dail Eireann."
Hannigan went on in the column in the Mail on Sunday to call the government decision "the shameless spectacle of a government department basically turning itself into the bureaucratic equivalent of Killarney", before continuing;
"Bad as it is when avaricious shopkeepers and publicans try to take advantage of sentimental old fools trying to get in touch with their ancestral roots, how much worse is it when the money-grab is sponsored by Dáil Éireann?"
One local businessman said that the journalist owed the town an apology for his remarks: "This is the same kind of nonsense we have listened to for years and it all gets a little bit tiring after a while," said one local accommodation provider.
A spokesman for the Kerry branch of the Irish Hotels Federation also hit out at Hannigan, saying: "This was cheapskate and cheap shot journalism that reflects no credit on the journalist who penned it or the paper that published it".
Hannigan is based in Long Island, NY, and also writes for several Irish American publications. He is also an established author and his works include De Valera in America and Giants of Cork Sport.

QuickBooks Mobile Now Optimized For Android Tablets
Small business Android fans now have the freedom to complete financial management tasks wherever, whenever, on their favorite Android tablets. Design updates to QuickBooks Mobile for Android optimize the app for tablets, and make it easier to navigate and use on any mobile device. The app is available to download for QuickBooks Online subscribers on Google Play at no additional cost.
QuickBooks Online, from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), is the No. 1 small business cloud accounting solution. Nearly 400,000 companies and 1.3 million users improve productivity with QuickBooks Online and its suite of Intuit and third-party apps. As the most comprehensive companion app of its kind, QuickBooks Mobile enables small businesses to access customer information, create, send and review estimates and invoices, and record payments from Apple and Android mobile devices.
QuickBooks Mobile offers Android tablet users the same functionality provided to Android phone users, but with a native tablet experience. The app serves a burgeoning market of small businesses that want to accomplish more work on mobile devices. Industry analysts say the trend is on the fast track, with Android claiming a significant share:
- 32.5 percent of small businesses currently own tablets, and 31.6 percent plan to purchase tablets in the next 12 months, according to an IDC report published in October.
- 31.9 percent of small businesses purchased or planned to purchase tablets in 2012 to substitute laptops, according to an iGR study released in March.
- The number of global tablet and smartphone users will surpass the number of PC users by July 2013, based on projections from KPCB partner Mary Meeker in a November presentation. She also noted that Android adoption is growing six times faster than that of iPhones.
"Small business owners want to get more done everyday, so mobile apps afford them a fantastic way to stay organized and productive from either their computers or mobile devices," said Dan Wernikoff, senior vice president and general manager of Intuit's Financial Management Solutions division. "In the past year, we've seen our QuickBooks Mobile users triple, and adoption amongst Android phone users outpace iPhone users.

"We have a lot of things planned for the evening,"

Features: Historically, the Wood Turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) was known as "old redleg" owing to the orange or brick-red colour of it legs. The Wood Turtle's aquatic habitat consists of clear rivers, streams or creeks with a moderate current and sandy or gravelly bottom. It spends proportionately more time on the banks of watercourses and in a variety of terrestrial or intermediate habitats than other native Ontario turtles. Although it uses wooded areas, it prefers more open habitats such as wet meadows, swamps and fields. Wood Turtles overwinter on stream bottoms.
Status: Endangered Provincially
Range: The Wood Turtle has a discontinuous distribution extending from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick south to Virginia, and west through southern Quebec and Ontario to Minnesota and northeastern Iowa. In Ontario, Wood Turtle populations have been found in three separate regions of the province. Studies are underway to determine more accurately the size and extent of these populations and threats to them.
Threats: Ontario populations are at risk from the same factors that are operating throughout much of the species' range: predation by raccoons, skunks, foxes and stray pets; habitat loss and degradation; human activity; collection for personal pets or for the pet trade; and road mortality. In some areas, collection for biological supply purposes may also be a problem. This turtle's low reproductive success rate increases its vulnerability to all of these threats.
Protection: The Wood Turtle is protected under Ontario's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. A recovery plan, sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, is in preparation. Parts of the recovery plan which call for surveys are already being implemented. The species is protected in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) which controls international trade in listed species. The Wood Turtle receives varying levels of protection in most states in its United States range and is considered "threatened" in Minnesota, Wisconsin and New Jersey.
For more information on what you can do to help this species, view the fact sheet on the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Species at Risk Website.

She delivers the film through a half dozen participants, including an actor (Khalid Abdalla), a Muslim Brotherhood member (Magdy Ashour), a singer (Ramy Essam) and the film's cinematographer (Ahmed Hassan). Our stage is Midan Tahrir (Liberation Square) near the heart of Cairo. In capturing these three years, including some of the largest political protests the world has seen, this film is at once exciting, infuriating, honest, deceitful, frank, romantic, hopeful, and frightening. Meaning, it is everything that such a film should be. The film begins in 2011. The lights go out. Ahmed tells us that Egypt was a land without dignity. He moved from job to job, having worked since age 8 selling lemons on the street to pay for school. As these factors—joblessness and hopelessness—increased, the ability to simply live day to day reached its end. To understand Mubarak's tyranny, imagine if at its peak the Chicago political machine controlled not only the politicians and police but also the military. In the Daley years, when he'd win 90% of the Chicago vote, we called it "democracy." Here in Egypt, it is "dictatorship." The difference is in the quality of life of the citizens. Mubarak imposed his rule by keeping Egypt under an official state of emergency for thirty continuous years, keeping the populace afraid not only of political conversation, but of espionage by his informants, ready to torture. Enter social media. I don't recall many televisions in this film. There are, however, countless laptops and smartphones. Every time we see a presidential press conference, even on a laptop, it seems to appear through the horizontal bars of an old TV screen. The point is that television is now the tool of the old guard, the tool of power. The Internet, however, remains the bastion of the free. In any case, we glimpse at the now legendary Facebook/YouTube video by a young woman, Asma Mahfouz, calling on Egyptians to follow the lead of the Tunisians and rise up, in this series of rebellions we today call the "Arab Spring." Watching this film, it occurs to me that the methods of non-violent resistance have changed. The dissent must be much larger, but the charismatic speaker now seems replaced by the viral video and dramatic protest film. After their efforts compel Mubarak to resign, the Egyptians cry tears that been locked away for half a century. I imagine watching this movie in a room full of Egyptians holding back their tears, finally feeling a glimmer of hope. The film presents itself as the clash between three forces: the revolutionaries, the military, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Its frequently romantic depictions of the revolutionaries reveal the film's bias. Ahmed Hassan, for example, frequently appears with a haze around him, which is clearly not from Cairo's pollution. Magdy Ashour dissents against his Muslim Brotherhood bosses. The brief interviews with military seem mocking. In other words, Noujaim unabashedly chooses sides here: she sides with the young, secular voices as though they are the true champions of Egyptian dignity. The film admits toward the end, however, that the protesters lack any substantive vision beyond the general demands, which open them to multiple mistakes, and their failure. Neither of the other two have any depth, but the military has the guns. With Mubarak's ouster, the military seizes power and turns the giant non-violent protests into a bloody chaotic mess. Tanks and trucks plow over civilians, twisting the life out of young bodies. They beat and electrocute prisoners. Hospital reports hide the casualties. Small cameras and online videos are the protesters' only weapons, documenting the atrocities. The conflicts with the military are more horrific considering that in most stories of resistance—Palestinians, African Americans in the Civil Rights struggle, an American Revolutionaries against the British—the power brokers and the disposed are from two different populations, but here the soldiers are firing upon their own people. Meanwhile, the largest, most organized activist force in the Arab world, the Muslim Brotherhood, remained silent through the first rounds of protests. Now, they enter, facing skepticism from the young people, in the same way that the right-wing Christian movement in the US would face skepticism from American secular, liberal activists. They accuse the Brotherhood of cutting deals with the military, thus betraying the revolutionaries. The film stops short of confirming the deals, though various members on the street provide multiple opinions. In the process, anger overtakes the exhilaration. The protesters are confident they can outlast the military and its tribunals, but now they fear that the Brotherhood will steal the movement. The film's bias against the religious party—rightly or wrongly—here reminded me of another documentary, "Jesus Camp", that presented Evangelical Christians as indoctrinated fools. The singing and secular sloganeering in Tahrir Square now gets replaced with massive prayers and Islamic rhetoric. The protesters do comment that they are Muslim, as much as any in the Brotherhood, but we are made to feel that their Islam, at least in normative expression, is not central to them. Egypt stages its first democratic elections. The Brotherhood dominates the parliamentary results. Next, they squeak past the ancient regime to take the presidency: Dr. Mohammed Morsi takes over. And, the protesters are livid, though they are partly to blame because in some misguided self-righteousness, many boycott the elections. Some understand, however, that the Brotherhood already held an advantage in having decades of organizing experience, against all other groups, especially, these young idealists. Nevertheless, protests gather to return Egypt to some semblance of secularism. First, Christians protest the lack of protection by the military, to which the military responds with more brutal carnage. The film, however, does not tell who is attacking the Christians at this point. In a previous round (not mentioned in the movie), Muslim Brotherhood forces were initially accused, but exposés at that time concluded that Mubarak loyalists were the guilty parties. Morsi, in his attempts to transition Egypt into its new era grants himself powers exceeding anything possessed by Mubarak. While clips present Mubarak as a calm tyrant, Morsi is angry, ready to lose his temper as he calls upon the Divine. The problem, however, is that Morsi held unchecked powers on paper, but himself remained powerless against the military. The failure of the Muslim Brotherhood is the common failure of religious parties in the political realm: the pious Utopianism and messianic triumphalism that result from religious activism without substance inhibits their capability to negotiate with opposing forces. Just as the protesters were masters at protesting, but failed at the ballot box, the Brotherhood were masters as a social service organization, but failed thus far in politics. Now, even larger forces unite upon Tahrir Square (and beyond) to remove Morsi. And, again, they succeed. The short lived rule by the so-called Islamists gets cut short by protesters who identify themselves as tamarod (rebels). This leads to even more joy and celebrations. But Morsi's official ouster gives way to a coup by al-Sisi, the head of…the military. Thus, the series of protests remove the original dictator, then remove his democratically elected successor, to give way to a new tyrant. Meet the new boss; he's the same as the old boss. Failure. The film hints at American complicity. The tear gas containers come from America. Beyond this, however, the film gives the United States a free pass. Let us not kid ourselves. The US gives Egypt a billion and a half dollars in annual aid, the entirety seemed to go straight to Mubarak's pockets and now the al-Sisi government. We need full access to the Suez Canal for our imports and exports. If the Canal gets blocked or if tariffs make its use cost-prohibitive, our ships must travel all the way around South Africa, resulting in slower deliveries and higher costs, threatening every American incumbent in future elections. We are definitely hovering around every moment of this national change, and not just in Egypt, but across the Arab world. But, this movie is not about the larger forces scrutinizing and manipulating the process; it's about the young Egyptians standing in Tahrir Square, seeking their own way through society on their own terms. So, was the Egyptian protest movement a failure? As I type this article, Egypt conducts a new round of votes. In the process, perhaps the Egyptians are slowly discovering the same thing every citizen of every democracy has to learn, that national politics require endless efforts toward clearly defined higher ideals on one hand, and against corruption on the other hand. Meanwhile, the shift from revolution to civil society is a delicate path full of mistakes and opportunists. But, the non-violent handing off of power is not only a great success, but the ability to determine its path is itself also dignity in action. So, in that way, the movement is a failure only when the Egyptians give up. And, thus they are a long way away from failure, hopefully. So, we are hopefully watching a rise, fall, and greater rise.
David Cronenberg's "The Fly" (1986) is among a very few movies that give me a sense of hesitation as soon as the credits appear. I've owned a couple of home video versions since its release twenty some years ago, according to the technology in favor, but I doubt I've played them more than a handful of times (including that for the purpose of this review). For such a well made and entertaining movie this is particularly odd but among the great horror flicks (it certainly fits the bill) this one hits you a little bit below the belt for enjoyment's sake."The Fly" deals with Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), an eccentric inventor who meets reporter Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis) at a science convention and (somewhat unwillingly) spills the beans about his latest creation, one that will "change the world as we know it". The contraption in question is a teleportation system for inanimate objects, which is basically the same concept used for getting characters on and off the Starship Enterprise in "Star Trek". With Veronica alongside him to document his progress Seth is able to take the next step, giving his invention the ability to transport live beings. After a failed attempt (that's putting it mildly!) with a baboon that should have given him some pause, Seth unwisely decides to rush testing the system with himself as passenger, unaware that a seemingly innocent house fly has hitched a ride alongside him (at least they weren't joined by that other baboon!). After the initial apparent success, an oblivious Seth will find himself gaining incredible agility and strength but will progressively become a mean, selfish, stench-filled and tragic individual, illustrating in the process the nature of those insects in much higher detail than we would ever want to learn. By film's end we'll end up seeing these creatures in a very different light and Seth will not be able to regret enough the fact that he did not provide his device with an UNDO command.Much like he previously did in "The Dead Zone" (1983), Cronenberg creates a very convincing couple for the audience to identify with before tragedy strikes. The difference in "The Fly" is that he doesn't show them the slightest bit of mercy (the fates of Christopher Walken and Brooke Adams in "The Dead Zone" amounted to a happy ending in comparison). This doesn't necessarily make one movie better than the other (though "The Dead Zone"'s conclusion is truly sublime). Both entries were treated correctly according to their very different subjects but the ending in "The Fly" is not quite as easy to appreciate. The audience here is even taunted for a while with the possibility that the experiment's results are going to be for the best and that makes the lead's fate all the more painful. What can you say about a movie in which the villain of the piece (Davis' egotistical and sexist boss played by John Getz) suddenly finds himself becoming the hero? Perhaps that Getz' initial evil was no match for the enormity and wrongness of the situations in this movie."The Exorcist" (1973) aside, I can't think of another horror film as
Does "The Wolf of Wall Street" celebrate the bankers it portrays? Omer Mozaffar ponders whether the film endorses their bad behavior.

They have a very good reuben sandwich, and they have always helped us out with our children spliting their meals. Very pricy however we go there once a year during our annual trip to NYC.

Our group consisted of 2 adults and 3 children all under the age of 7. For one thing, the place did not have a children's menu. When we told the waitress that 2 of the children were going to share a plate of pasta, she came back and told us that we would have to pay a plate sharing charge of $3. That seemed ridiculous given that the restaurant was nearly empty and that kids were the ones sharing. Aside from that, the service was poor and the food mediocre. The prices were high too for the amount and quality of the food received. There are definitely better choices out there!

Ben ash is located in the heart of Midtown, Times square. Its very small. I didnt eat much except the cheesecake i went for about every night. I liked it.

$100 for four people. For BREAKFAST. We've never paid that much for breakfast in our lives and never plan to again. Yes, the server was nice to our children, but the bill just blew us away. Bagels with a schmeer, some lox, pancakes for the six year old and a croissant for the eight year old and the city's worst coffee. Certainly not worth $100.

We went here because it looked like a decent place to eat. We ended up spending something like $58 on four people(three of whom actually ate, one just got coffee). The waiter got all flustered when I asked for my eggs a certain way, and he acted like we were being incredibly disagreeable, whatever we said. The coffee wasn't good. Food was edible, but not very interesting-- nothing I couldn't make in my kitchen in a few minutes. And later we got a pastry at the front and the guy gave us the wrong one... I guess that's neither here nor there, but, whatever, I'm not going back.

We didn't wait to get in on a Sunday afternoon. When we were seated and had to make our selection the waitress wouldn't stop to take our order, and then got the order wrong. For a $20 sandwich you should get a smile and a thank you, but we got none of those.

Servers can be arrogant, the prices are high and the quality is average. BUT, when you have a craving for an All Beef Hot Dog, it is one of only 2 or 3 restaurants in all Mid town that have them, furthermore they deliver. Oh, and they accept credit cards over the phone for delivery..another convenience. Carnegie deli across the street has good food and more reasonable prices but if you want a less hectic deli style atmospher, then BenAsh is a better choice.

Micro-volume Couette flow sample orientation for absorbance and fluorescence linear dichroism

Linear dichroism (LD) can be used to study the alignment of absorbing chromophores within long molecules. In particular, Couette flow LD has been used to good effect in probing ligand binding to DNA and to fibrous proteins. This technique has been previously limited by large sample requirements. Here we report the design and application of a new microvolume Couette flow cell that significantly enhances the potential applications of flow LD spectroscopy by reducing the sample requirements for flow linear dichroism to 25 muL (with concentrations such that the absorbance maximum of the sample in a 1-cm pathlength cuvette is similar to1). The micro-volume Couette cell has also enabled the measurement of fluorescence-detected Couette flow linear dichroism. This new technique enables the orientation of fluorescent ligands to be probed even when their electronic transitions overlap with those of the macromolecule and conversely. The potential of flow-oriented fluorescence dichroism and application of the micro-volume Couette LD cell are illustrated by the collection of data for DNA with minor groove and intercalating ligands: DAPI, Hoechst, and ethidium bromide. As with conventional fluorescence, improved sensitivity compared with absorbance LD is to be expected after instrumentation optimization.

text: Saw the mass production of the cargo glider Messerschmitt Me 321 and the first strategic transport aircraft Messerschmitt Me 323. The first flight of the prototype of the Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow"), the world's first operational turbojet fighter aircraft took place in Leipheim on July 18, 1942. From 1944, the aircraft was mass produced (around 800 units). After the end of World War II in 1945, a displaced persons camp for Jewish survivors was established on the premises of the former air base. This camp, which sheltered up to 3,150 people, was disbanded in June 1950. After 1957 the area was used for military air traffic again until 1993.

The trick is to find a pair that stays secure around the ankle — whether with elastic, a higher cut, or Velcro straps that keep everything in place. Here, seven practical pairs that will actually stay put . . . and don't look half bad, either!
