When a family member has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or another disabling health condition, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the many legal and financial questions that can arise as a result of the diagnosis. Determining how to pay for long-term care is often confusing for families. It is impor-tant to find an attorney with whom you feel comfortable and who has the expertise to advise you on these matters.
Q: What legal matters should be discussed when a family member has a health condition that affects his ability to function independently?
There are several legal issues to consider when a person is (or may become) incapacitated:
- The management of the person's financial affairs during his or her lifetime;
- The management of the person's personal care: medical decisions, residence, placement in a
nursing facility, etc.; - Arranging for payment of long-term health care: use of private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) when applicable;
- Preserving the family assets: ensuring that the patient's spouse and any disabled family members are adequately protected; and
- The distribution of the person's assets on his or her death. (If the person has a disabled spouse, child or other family member that they wish to provide for, special arrangements need to be made.)
In addition to issues that are clearly "legal," other important issues should be discussed in the course of legal planning. For example, a full discussion of housing options is critical in making certain legal and financial decisions; i.e., is the person planning to stay in his home? Is this feasible, both physically and financially? Is he thinking of moving to a retirement facility? What level of care is provided? Is it a rental or a "buy-in" arrangement? Is a move to a nursing home probable?
Q: When should an attorney be consulted?
Consult an attorney as early as possible. The maximum number of planning options will be available while the patient still has the legal capacity to make his or her own decisions. The question of capacity is a gray area, and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Q: What are the options for managing assets?
Options for managing assets include:
- Durable Powers of Attorney;
- Revocable living trusts;
- Designation of a representative payee; and
- Conservatorship (or Guardianship) of the estate and of the person.
Each of these has advantages and disadvantages, which should be discussed thoroughly with an attorney. Further, for making medical decisions, you should discuss the use of a durable power of attorney for health care, directive to physicians, and conservatorship (or guandianship) of the person.
Q: What are the options for paying for long-term care?
Investigate first the availability of private insurance to cover long-term care, whether at home or at an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. Also examine the government benefit programs that may help pay for care:
- Medicare
- Medicaid or Medi-Cal
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and
- In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS).
If the person served in the United States Military, federal or state veteran assistance may be available.
Q: Can any assets be protected—for a well spouse, for example—if a patient needs long-term custodial care in a skilled nursing facility?
Various planning options may be available to finance long-term care. Much depends on the individual's circumstances; i.e., marital status, mental capacity, age and health of the care recipient, and, most importantly, the applicable law in the state where the individual resides. Medicaid, a federal program administered by the states, may pay for care in a facility. The rules regarding planning vary from state to state. Planning options can include:
- Converting non-exempt assets into exempt assets;
- Transfer of the family residence to a spouse;
- Transfer of the principal residence with the retention of a life estate;
- Use of court orders to increase the amount of resources and/or income the spouse of a nursing home resident can retain;
- Trusts; and
- Gifting of assets.
Each of these options has significant implications and should be thoroughly discussed with an attorney knowledgeable in Medicaid law.
Q: How can an individual provide for the distribution of his or her property upon death?
The options for distributing assets on death include:
- Will
- Revocable Living Trust
- Joint Tenancy Accounts
- Payable on Death Accounts
- Transfer with a Retained Life Estate
Each of these has significant legal ramifications and should be discussed with a knowledgeable advisor. Also, some financial products, such as life insurance, IRA's and annuities, provide for the distribution on death to a designated beneficiary.
Q: How do you find an attorney to assist with legal planning?
One of the best ways to find an attorney specializing in elder law is through a personal recommendation from a friend, relative or co-worker, or from another attorney whom you know and trust. Another way to get a personal recommendation is to attend a caregiver support group. Someone there may already have had experience with a knowledgeable attorney and be able to share his or her experience. Referrals, and advice for individuals aged 60 or over also may be obtained from senior legal services provided by your local Area Agency on Aging. Independent community legal aid agencies also may offer assistance to people of all ages.
Another way to locate an attorney is through an attorney referral service. The local bar association in your community may have a panel which refers callers to lawyers in various specializations. After describing your needs, you will be referred to the most appropriate specialist. Initial consultations generally include a nominal fee.
Caution should be exercised if such a referral service is used. Panel-referred attorneys need meet only minimum requirements and may have little experience. It is important to check the qualifications of an attorney and to make calls to compare fees and experience. Keep in mind that laws vary from state to state. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys may also be able to help you.
Q: What kind of attorney should be consulted?
Most attorneys concentrate on one or two areas of law. It is especially important for caregivers to find an attorney who has the appropriate expertise. Attorneys advising caregivers on planning for long-term care should have knowledge of the following areas of law:
- Medicaid (Medi-Cal) laws and regulations
- Social Security
- Trusts (special needs trusts)
- Conservatorships
- Durable power of attorney for health care and asset management
- Tax (income, estate and gift) planning
- Housing and health care contracts
Some attorneys are certified specialists. For example, an attorney can be a certified specialist in elder law, taxation, or estate planning. In the case of an accident, a personal injury attorney is needed. In that case, it is advisable to select someone who has had jury trial experience.
Attorneys often do not know about all of the above-mentioned areas. In the case of a personal injury, two attorneys may be needed—one to litigate an accident settlement and another to help plan for long-term financial or health care needs.
Q: What should you do to prepare for a legal consultation?
It's helpful to have a clear idea of what you would like as the outcome of a legal consultation—that is, what you would like to gain from the appointment. Learning as much as possible ahead of time will help ensure a productive consultation.
More specifically, individuals who are interested in a health care directive may wish to think about the type of life-sustaining procedures they would want used in the case of a serious illness. In addition, it may be helpful to identify a first, second and third choice of family member or trusted friend to make personal health care and financial decisions in the event you are unable to do this for yourself. (See the FCA Fact Sheet, End-of-Life Decision Making.)
Items to Bring to the Consultation
- List of major assets (real estate, stocks, cash, jewelry, insurance, etc.);
- Any documents of title (e.g., copies of deeds, stock certificates, loan papers, etc.) which show who the asset owners are and how title is held;
- Contracts or other legally binding documents;
- Lists of all major debts;
- Existing wills or Durable Powers of Attorney; and
- Bank statements, passbooks, CDs—again showing who the owners are and how title is held.
Advance Health Care Directive. An Advance Health Care Directive is a document in which you can: 1) instruct your physician as to the kinds of medical treatment you might want or not want in the future (in many states, this is called a Living Will); and 2) choose someone to make medical decisions for you in the event you are unable to make those decisions yourself (in many states, this is called a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, or just a Power of Attorney for Health Care). For additional information on advance directives, see FCA Fact Sheets, End-of-Life Decision Making and California Advance Health Care Directive.
Attorney-in-Fact. The person named in a Durable Power of Attorney to act as an agent. This person need not be an attorney.
Beneficiary. An individual who receives the benefit of a transaction, for example, a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, a beneficiary of a trust, beneficiary under a Will.
Conservatee or Ward. The incapacitated person for whom a conservatorship or guardianship has been established.
Conservator or Guardian. An individual who is appointed by the court to act on behalf of an incapacitated person.
Conservatorship or Guardianship. A court proceeding in which the court supervises the management of an incapacitated person's affairs and/or personal care.
Directive to Physicians. A written document in which an individual states his or her desire to have life-sustaining procedures withheld or withdrawn under certain circumstances. This document must meet certain requirements under the law to be valid.
Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. A type of Advance Health Care Directive, this is a document in which an individual nominates a person as his or her agent to make health care decisions for him or her if he or she is not able to give medical consent. This document can give the agent the power to withdraw or continue life-sustaining procedures.
Durable Power of Attorney for Asset Management. A document in which an individual (the "principal") nominates a person as his or her agent (attorney-in-fact) to conduct financial transactions on his or her behalf. This document can be either "springing," which means that it is effective only upon the principal's incapacity, or "fixed," which means that the document becomes effective when it is signed.
Executor. The individual named in a Will who is responsible for administering an estate during probate. The Executor is the person responsible for making sure all taxes and other expenses are paid and distributing the property of the deceased person in accordance with the Will.
Federal Estate Taxes. A tax is due at death if the estate exceeds $1,500,000 (as of 2004), and is calculated on the value of the deceased person's estate at the time of death.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (aka HIPAA). Federal legislation which limits the informal communication of information from doctors and other health care providers
In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). A programin California that pays for non-medical services for persons who meet certain financial criteria and who could not remain safely at home without such services.
Irrevocable Trust. A trust that has terms and provisions which cannot be changed.
Joint Tenancy. A form of property ownership by two or more persons designated as "joint tenants." When a joint tenant dies, his or her interest in the property automatically passes to the surviving joint tenant and is not controlled by the Will of the deceased joint tenant and is not subject to probate.
Life Estate. An interest in property that lasts for the life of the person retaining the life estate. When a person who has a life estate interest dies, the property passes to the person holding the remainder interest, without the need for probate.
Living Will. A written document in which an individual conveys his or her desire to die a natural death and not be kept alive by artificial means. Unlike a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, the wishes in this document are not legally enforceable in California.
Long-Term Care Insurance. Private insurance which, depending on the terms of the policy, can pay for home care, or care in an assisted living facility or skilled nursing facility.
Medicaid. A state and federally financed program that provides medical care to low income persons. In California it's called Medi-Cal.
Medicare. A federal medical coverage program for persons who are over 65 years old or who are disabled. It is funded by Social Security deductions and has no income or resource restrictions. It does not pay for long-term custodial care.
Probate. The court proceeding which oversees the administration of a deceased person's estate. Wills are subject to probate; living trusts (if properly funded) are not.
Revocable Living Trust. A device that describes certain property, names a trustee (who manages the property) and names a beneficiary who receives benefit from the trust. A living trust is an effective means of avoiding probate and providing for management of assets. It can be revoked by the person who created it during that person's lifetime.
Social Security Retirement Benefits. Benefits, which eligible workers and their families receive when the worker retires. The worker must work for a specified period at a job that is covered by Social Security in order to be eligible for benefits. A worker must be at least 62 years old to receive retirement benefits.

Testator. The person who executes a Will.
Trustor (Settlor). A person who creates a trust.
Trustee. The individual who is responsible for managing the property in the trust for the benefit of the beneficiary.
Will. The document a person signs which tells how he or she wants his or her estate administered and distributed upon death. It must conform to certain legal requirements in order to be valid. The terms of a Will become operational only upon the testator's death.

Colorfast Tint + Moisture Balm
This moisturizing tinted lip balm is easy to use. It offers buildable sheer to medium-sheer color.
Healthy Cuticles Now!
This is a good, Vaseline-enriched moisturizer for cuticles.
Add to Faves?
Sally Hansen At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive and widely available; provides complete ingredient lists on the Web site; some fun lip products; a handful of worthwhile cuticle moisturizers; Airbrush Legs is an intriguing alternative to body makeup and hosiery; one good lip gloss.
Weaknesses: An abundance of mediocre to poor lip products loaded with irritants; most of the hand creams lack sun protection; several foot creams with irritating fragrant oils; no well-formulated exfoliants for managing dry, cracked skin and calluses on feet; spray-on self-tanner contains a lot of alcohol.
Sally Hansen, having long been synonymous with affordable, well-distributed manicure products, without question is a well-recognized staple on drugstore shelves around the country. Owned by global beauty brand conglomerate Coty, Inc., Sally Hansen has now dipped its perfectly polished toes into selling makeup and a broad selection of body-care products, most focused on hand and foot care. This range of lip, hand, foot, and novelty body-care products extends well beyond this brand's bread-and-butter nail polish and dubious "nail strengthening" products, giving Sally Hansen even more visibility.
Sally Hansen's new lip product selection is so large that in many stores it occupies a display that is entirely separate from their vast selection of nail products. Dubbed the Lip Lab, this section of the Sally Hansen display is where you'll find an assortment of lip plumpers, lip moisturizers, and so-called lip treatments, nearly all of which claim to make lips look fuller and younger. Of course the sculpting, lifting, and plumping claims are outrageous and deceptive, but what's worse is the ingredients in almost every one of these products end up doing just the opposite of the claims because they include irritants like rosemary and peppermint extracts, which actually break down collagen and impair the lips' protective barrier. Not surprisingly, the lip plumpers are the worst offenders; with ingredients like cinnamon, ginger, and black pepper, they deliver some of the most acutely painful experience we've endured from applying a lip product. None of these products come close to professionally administered lip injections, although the claims are certainly intended to lead you to believe otherwise.
Hansen's makeup range extends beyond the lips, with a few spray-on tan and shimmer products, although we're not sure why they added these ancillary products. Regrettably, most of the makeup products are a disappointment and poorly formulated. There are a handful of reasonably priced lip products that make lips look lovely without making them hurt, too. As if copied straight from the department store brand trends, two of Sally Hansen's best products are veritable knock-offs of Smashbox and M.A.C. lip glosses—at less than half the price! Also worth noting is Sally Hansen's unique Airbrush Legs spray-on body makeup, which looks, feels, and wears better than expected.
If you're shopping this brand for hand and nail care, prepare to be overwhelmed. The selection of hand creams and cuticle products is daunting, and frustrating, too. Why frustrating? Mostly because the formulas are repetitive, but they have different claims, which makes no sense. As for the claims themselves, prepare to read about everything, from oils stimulating nail growth to minerals making nails stronger to vitamin E being the cure-all for ragged cuticles. The company can't make up their mind about what works.
None of this is legitimate, but when you're offering as many hand and cuticle options as Sally Hansen does, you have to have product-specific hooks or consumers may be tempted to look elsewhere. Overall, there is nothing spectacular about most of these hand and cuticle products, although there are a couple of inexpensive options worth your attention.
When it comes to foot care, Sally Hansen offers several creams, balms, and odor-fighting products. Most are gimmicky and have average formulas and some contain irritating ingredients that no one's feet truly need. Perhaps most disappointing is the company's limited offerings for dry, cracked skin on the feet. They offer only thick moisturizers, but those aren't enough to handle the problem. Those help, but if you're not taking steps to remove the thickened layers of unsightly dead skin, you'll see little improvement. What you need is an exfoliant before the moisturizer, but there is not such an option in this line. That's to your detriment, because skipping the exfoliation step is like covering acne with a layer of makeup rather than taking steps to treat the blemish and encourage healing.

Got this for my daughter for her new school year. I was skeptical about the quality of the print and the size, specially the width. Both, quality and size were great. We expected few compartments and additional pockets inside the bag. But with this cost and quality, no further complaints.
I like it. It's the perfect size for my 6 year-old. I like that it has a lap-top pocket which keeps her homework folder nice and flat. The only thing that makes me want to throw it away is that it came with a Proposition 65 Warning stating that "it may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and or birth defects or other reproductive harm". I certainly do not recommend this bag to anyone.
My kids were very excited about their backpacks! They look great and seem a good quality. My high schooler is concerned about the size of the bag. We thought it large enough for her but she loves the coloring and is going to try to make it work.
this was a purchase for our 9 year old who goes thru backpacks like water. between broken zippers and wearing holes in the bottom, picking a backpack is more of a task for her. not to mention finding one that is COOL enough. We decided to see what the web would bring and ended up here. She LOVES it. When it was received her reaction was that its cooler in person. So far it passes the mom inspection too. The zippers are strong and it doesnt look like they are going any where. the backpack is made strong.
Excellent, quality construction backpack with fun design. Looks like it will last for years!

Home Our Funds Parnassus Core Equity Fund - Investor Shares
Fund Fact Sheet
Change Share Class: View Institutional Shares
Institutional Shares Institutional Shares are generally for institutional investors and have a minimum investment of $100,000. Institutional Shares are available to investors who invest directly in the Fund as well as those who invest through certain intermediaries. The minimum initial investment may be waived for group retirement plans. Please see the prospectus for more details. Investor Shares Investor Shares are generally for individual investors have a minimum investment of $2,000, which may be reduced to $500 for IRAs and certain custodial accounts. Please see the prospectus for more details.
Capital appreciation and current income.
The Parnassus Core Equity Fund is a diversified, fundamental, U.S., large-cap, core equity fund. The Fund invests principally in undervalued equity securities of large-capitalization companies. At least 75% of the Fund's total assets will normally be invested in equity securities that pay dividends. The remaining 25% may be invested in non-dividend-paying equity securities. The Fund also takes environmental, social and governance factors into account in making investment decisions.
The Fund's share price may change daily based on the value of its security holdings. Stock markets can be volatile, and stock values fluctuate in response to the asset levels of individual companies and in response to general U.S. and international market and economic conditions. In addition to large-cap companies, the Fund may invest in small- and/or mid-cap companies, which can be more volatile than large-cap firms. Security holdings in the fund can vary significantly from broad market indexes.
* Expenses based on total net assets, net of reimbursement.
Avg. Weighted Mkt. Cap ($Bin) The average capitalization of all stocks in the portfolio, weighted by each holding's size in the portfolio. Capitalization, or market value of an entire company, is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the price per share.
P/E Ratio A ratio of a stock's current price to its per-share earnings over the past 12 months (or "trailing" 12 months). This gives us an idea of how "expensive" a stock may be. For a fund, the price/earnings ratio is the weighted average P/E ratio of the stocks it holds.
P/B Ratio The ratio of a stock's latest closing price divided by its book value per share.
Alpha A coefficient measuring risk-adjusted performance, considering the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market. A large alpha indicates that the stock or mutual fund has performed better than would be predicted, given its beta.
Beta A measurement of a fund's trailing 36-month returns in relation with the market as a whole. A beta of 1 means that the share price moves exactly inline with the market. A beta over 1 suggests that the share price will typically be more volatile than the market, and conversely, a beta below 1 indicates that the share price will typically be less volatile than the market.
R-Squared A measurement of how closely the portfolio's performance correlates with the performance of a benchmark index such as the S&P 500.
Sharpe Ratio A ratio used to measure risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.
Standard Deviation A calculation used to measure variability (risk) of a portfolio's performance.
Downside Risk A statistical measurement of a portfolio's dispersion below the mean return of a benchmark.
Tracking Error The standard deviation of the difference between the portfolio return and the desired investment benchmark return.
1 Total net assets represent the combined assets of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (also known as "the S&P 500 Index") is a widely recognized index of common stock prices. An individual cannot invest directly in an index. An index reflects no deductions for fees, expenses or taxes, but mutual fund returns do.

Lipstick & Dynamite: The First Ladies of Wrestling
This chronicle shines a spotlight on the forgotten first ladies of the ring who traveled carnivals and sideshows of the 1940s. Gladys 'Killem' Gillem wrestled women, men, alligators and bears. At 18, Ida May Martinez took to the road to flash the only thing she knew -- how to kick, punch, and defend herself. Narrowly escaping date rape at 16, Penny Banner trained for survival. Still kicking butt at age 80, 'The Fabulous Moolah' and 'Johnnie Mae Young' live together with midget wrestler sidekick 'Diamond 'Lil' and continue to take bumps with World Wrestling Entertainment. In the documentary, each woman reflects on her own remarkable life with fond and bitter memories, reconciling a wild, flamboyant youth with the reality of getting older and fading away. It follows Moolah, Johnnie Mae and the girls for 60 years. Many bumps and falls later, we listen in as they discuss the money, the old days and what it's like to be a 'lady' in today's favorite guilty pleasure: spectator sport.

KimHairBlackNormal HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairBeware How You Use ThisI've had the dryer for over a year, but have used rather infrequently. I typically use it for deep conditioning, or drying my natural hair while in two strand twist or bantu knots. Well for the first time today, I decided to dry my hair using a roller set. All I can say is OUCH! My hair is bra strap length which means I had to use medium (lavender) and large (gray) sized plastic rollers. Unfortunately I couldn't get my head full of rollers completely under the dryer due to the inside being a bit smaller, something I never noticed till today. This resulted in my having to contort my head, neck, and body into various positions just to try and get everything dried...it was a very uncomfortable experience.
With that said I don't think I'll be using this to dry a roller set ever again because it doesn't seem that it was engineered for such usage. If you're buying this and you have longer hair and like to do a roller sets...beware! However, due note that it works well for my other needs (which is why I gave it an overall ok rating).posted Mar 2, 2014Link to this post -
Angelina A.United StatesHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairJust Perfect!I have been wanting a bonnet/hard hat dryer for forever! Ever time I would go on YouTube looking for new hair regime advice, most of the time I would see them conditioning with heat. I had been setting my eyes on a soft bonnet dryer from Gold N Hot, but when I got an email about a sale on folica, I jumped straight to their dryers. Noticing it had won a folica reward and that it had a very decent amount of stars, I went ahead and got it. LOVE IT! The air is distributed evenly throughout the hat and the sound is not too loud, even on high! The first time I deep conditioned with it, I could totally tell the difference from just using a plastic cap by itself (no heat). I plan on using this bad boy every time I DC. THANKS FOLICA!posted Apr 5, 2013Link to this post
TiffanyHairBlackRelaxed Hair"her 3rd Use"Ok. So the dryer doesn't get superhot or near the temperature that my other hooded dryer got. But the dryer is very lightweight, easy to use, has three settings and helps to leave my hair feeling very lightweight after flat ironing. I have not noticed a temperature difference with the Medium versus High setting. Overall, it's simply ok. But nothing special.posted Jan 31, 2013Link to this post
TiffanyHairBlackRelaxed HairHer 1st UseThis is my first time using the dryer. I'm not impressed by anything its done. My model has 3 settings, the "high" setting isn't hot at all. I have been under the dryer for 60 mins and I still have wet areas in my relaxed hair (african american). I will give it a few more attempts and reviews before I pack it up and ship it back!!! Stay posted for my next review..."Her 2nd use"posted Jan 22, 2013Link to this post
AkueleHairRelaxed HairNot So Great Hair DryerI purchased this hair dryer based on the reviews on the website and was quite disappointed. I used other bonnet hair dryers before and this one is quite a disappointment for me. First, the shape of the dryer was not what expected; it was small; second, the setting is only for "Low" and "High"; there is no in between, and third, there is only one adjustment for the hood. Overall, I regret buying this hair dryer, but I do not want to go through the trouble of sending it back to the vendor; therefore, I am going to keep it for now and I plan on buying another hair dryer.posted Jun 12, 2012Link to this post
Jj L.PAHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairJust OkThis hair dryer is just ok. Only two settings - one's too hot, the other takes a LONG time to dry your hair. Also, the hood isn't very deep so don't plan on putting big rollers on top of your head. Lastly, the plastic has a cheap feel to it, flimsy.posted Oct 9, 2011Link to this post

MelissaBrooklyn, NYHairDark BrownNormal HairRelaxed HairGood Hooded Dryer, Get The Job DoneThis hooded dryer is good. I really like it. I don't roller set my hair so I don't know how well it does for roller sets. I use my hooded dryer mainly for deep conditions. Some say it is too loud. I don't think so. I mean I've never seen a quiet hooded dryer in my life so I don't know what they were expecting. It's as loud as any other hooded dryer. I'll say this much, it's not as loud as my last hooded dryer. My last one was very very loud. With this one, you can feel the heat around your whole head within minutes. I use both the low heat and the high heat depending on what I'm trying to do with my hair. This blow dryer do not have the ion feature like some of the other blow dryers but again that's not a big deal to me. Like I said I use my hair dryer for deep conditioning that's it. For me, it gets the job done, no problem. For others, I'm not sure. I would recommend it to others. I like it.posted Apr 20, 2011Link to this post

Abdourahamane Abidine, a tailor, fled Timbuktu three months ago after Islamists took control of the ancient city. He says that displaying the tricolor French flag outside his new shop in the Malian capital of Bamako is a way of showing support for the French troops that have arrived to prevent the rebels advancing into the south of his country. / Soumaila T. Diarra
BAMAKO, Mali -- In the dusty, noisy streets of the Malian capital, symbols of former colonial ruler France, once eagerly torn down, have been popping up everywhere since French fighters began bombing Islamist-held areas a week ago.
"I decided to hang a French flag next to the Malian flag to show I'm in favor of the military intervention by France," said Abdourahamane Abidine, 50, a local tailor, sitting on a sofa in his downtown shop. "It's a way to support the French troops."
Three months ago, Abidine fled the fabled town of Timbuktu, which came under the control of Islamist rebels. He says foreign intervention is Mali's salvation.
"We are bruised, and the whole world knows what is happening â?? we are suffering in our souls," he said. "God answered our prayers by sending French troops."
In March 2012, armed groups of radical Muslims and Tuareg separatists overran the northern part of the country, taking control of the towns of Kidal, Gao and Timbuktu. Since the takeover, strict sharia law has been imposed in the captured regions where Islamists have destroyed ancient tombs in Timbuktu, executed locals and sent hundreds of thousands fleeing their homes.
Earlier this month, the Islamists began pressing south and seized the small town of Konna. Over the past several days, French aircraft have launched strikes against the rebels to stop their progress south after Malian officials formally requested their intervention.
The French have sent in ground troops to stop the advance; Europe and the USA have promised logistical support and help in training Malian troops. Malians say they need the help.
"The intervention of French troops is a relief because our army has neither the means nor the necessary training to stop the Islamists alone," Oumalher Abdou Latif said with a laugh.
The 23-year-old who sells sandwiches in a stall in the capital fears sharia law, which she says won't likely allow for the colorful skirt she is wearing that displays her knees.
"I don't like the Islamists because what they want isn't sharia law â?? they rape women and steal from shops when they seize a town," she said. "Besides, one of their aims is to make of Mali a route of drug-smuggling."
In Bamako, it is rare to hear a voice opposed to the French intervention.
"We must give thanks loudly to President Francois Hollande," said Amadou Cisse, a local resident. "We are delighted and proud of the French troops and the Malian soldiers who die every day on the front lines for our freedom."
As a result of the heavily armed militants, northern Mali is largely inaccessible to humanitarian agencies. According to UNHCR, basic services are no longer available there and officials are worried over the brewing crisis in the region.
This situation has triggered the internal displacement of an estimated 204,000 Malians while more than 200,000 have found refuge in neighboring Mauritania, Niger and Burkina Faso, according to the UNHCR.
Abidine hopes the French intervention will allow him to return to Timbuktu soon to join family and relatives who remain there.
"I left because I had nothing to do, as many people left the town â?? I spent five months under the rule of the Islamists without working," he said. "We were forced to live with the help of our brothers and relatives living in Bamako and abroad."

Ryan Braun is rooting for Prince Fielder to sign a longterm extension with the Brewers. Braun, after all, is under contract through 2015 and has the luxury of hitting in front of Fielder in the lineup. But Braun is not holding his breath. "He's going to do whatever is in his best interests, whatever is best for his family," Braun said. "He's earned the opportunity to go out there and see what free agency is like, see who's interested and how much they are willing to pay. "Obviously, I want him here. But it's a business and I just want what's best for him. I think everybody recognizes the circumstances and the situation that he's in and that the team is in. To me, it's going to come down to what's best for his family. He's close enough to free agency that it doesn't make a lot of sense for him to sign a deal at this point. You have to be [realistic]." Fielder talked to reporters on Sunday for the first time since the end of the season and his contract was a major topic of discussion. You can read more about it here. * Follow Brew Beat on Twitter.

My old ski gloves finally gave up the ghost and I bought these because the price was so low. Unfortunately, I ended up with more calluses with the gloves than without them. Everybody who tried them had the same problem. I've only used them for wakeboarding, but I don't know if I will ever use them again except to pull weeds.

Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New England
Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.
"We're going to be more of a spectator on this one," said Roger Hill, meteorologist for Worcestor, Vt.-based Weathering Heights. "It looks like a historic Nor'easter that will just graze Vermont."
Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon. However, residents and travelers through the higher elevations of Windham County can expect as much has 20 inches before it's all over.MORE IN This Just InWAITSFIELD An armed robber held up the Northfield Savings Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the second...

UX the Bruce Lee Way
As a UX professional I take inspiration from a great many things. Since I'm also a big pop culture geek, that's the biggest well I draw from. I've read a lot of entertainment biographies lately, and the latest was about famed martial artist and actor Bruce Lee. As I was reading The Bruce Lee Story (written by his wife) I was pleased to note that he, too, believed in borrowing ideas and techniques from other fields.
"Expose yourself to various conditions and learn … Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own."
Following his advice, I've identified some key lessons Bruce Lee taught and lived by that are applicable to experience design. What design lessons can be learned from a late, great action star? Quite a few, it turns out.
"It's not the daily increase, but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential."
When Lee was planning his training and forming his martial art moves, he was focused on simplifying everything: move only when necessary, use only the muscles needed (this resulted in the creation of his own martial art, Jeet Kune Do). Can this be applied in interaction design? Of course, and we have already seen this trend propagate throughout countless designs.
Stripping away the unnecessary elements allows users to focus on the task at hand. Why have multiple questions to setup an account when you can use single sign-on services and/or a single password? Why show advanced options on the same screen that the basic options are on? Simplifying UI designs, like simplifying martial arts moves, allows you to do more with less.
Be Aware Of Context And Surroundings
"Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception."
Designing with out awareness is designing in the dark. Understanding users and the context of their surroundings allows you design the right solution. A desktop app works one way, a mobile app that people use while walking around a warehouse needs to work in a completely different way.
Open Your Mind
Bruce Lee often told students that if they already thought they "knew" everything, they should leave his class.
"If your cup is full, you cannot fill it. So first, empty your cup."
As you start to design something, step away from your preconceptions. The wonderful thing about UX is the ability to learn new industries, research users and what they do, and then provide solutions to make their lives better. This requires following a user-centered design process, but it also requires starting with no assumptions and bias. Good design solutions come from that fresh, open mind.
Be Flexible—Be Like Water
"Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. That water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friend."
Follow a proper design process, but don't be dogmatic about it. Be flexible, and approach each design project within the confines that exist. I have a colleague who thinks that an extensive two-month ethnographic study should occur before ANY design is done. In business environments this is often a rare luxury, and he is frustrated much of the time because he is rigid in this belief. Taking such a dogmatic stand is affecting both his professional reputation and costing him opportunities. Don't be intransigent—be flexible. Be like water.
Understand The Difference Between Catastrophe And An Inconvenience
"Know the difference between a catastrophe and an inconvenience. To realize that it's just an inconvenience, that it is not a catastrophe, but just an unpleasantness, is part of coming into your own, part of waking up."
When we are designing solutions for users, we must be aware of the design problems we are solving, and focus our energies appropriately. Spend the right time working on the right problem, and try to identify the core things that need solving: the things that are genuine "catastrophes."
Own your Mistakes
"Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them"
I've met many insecure designers who are afraid of failure; who don't like doing usability tests because it would reveal flaws in the work they have done. They are losing out on a key opportunity to grow by accepting and learning from mistakes. This is a lesson applicable in UX as in life.
Design Your Own Way
"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it."
Take inspiration from other designers, follow best practices, but don't try and emulate other people's design style. Be your own person, make the designs your own … and stretch the boundaries of design and innovation. If you do that, you may stumble upon the next new thing and design something that adds value to millions of people's lives.
So you see, many of the principles that Bruce Lee lived by are as applicable to the martial artist as they are the UX practitioner. Use these principles to master UX in the same way Lee mastered his craft.
"It's not the daily increase, but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential."—Bruce Lee

This was an awesome article :)
I am sure majority of people here are all Lee Followers... or at least fans ... but merging 2 awesome things which I follow... Bruce Lee and UX... was so cool :)
Thanx for sharing.
Bruce Lee was great not just in martial arts, but also in running his life. He used his skills not just for fighting but also to create his own business, like teaching other people what he knew from martial arts. He did not only create his name as a legendary martial artist but he also create his own name by being a person with great pride and honor.

What a great article.
I guess Bruce Lee has influenced many professionals be it IT experts like yourself ,Joseph and even plastic surgeons.
I just came across this article written by 2 plastic surgeons.
Great article. Interesting and inspiring that other people are having similar thoughts in this space. Probably the same day this was posted I posted a short article on our company blog about Jeet Kune Do and Service Design. http://open.dna.co.nz/blog/service-design-a-formless-art/
Sorry about the self-promotion, but I believe so wholeheartedly in Bruce Lee's "be like water" philosophy that I named my Web development company after it: www.BeLikeWater.ca
Great article.
Exceptional job in streamlining and facilitating otherwise difficult plus intangible complex tenets! Most impressive. A recommended read for all visionaires.
Just another way Bruce Lee was ahead of his time. I wrote similar thoughts in a post I wrote a while back entitled Web Jeet Kune Do.
If anyone doubts how much Lee changed the world just watch this History Channel documentary:
Love the fact that you're using Bruce's thoughts of using knowledge from other skills, and using that again on UX. Awesome job man!
Really good post, I've been practicing JKD since the mid 90's and when I started in UX in the early 00's this idea struck me in the exact same way. One quick caveat to your post that makes this even more interesting (I think anyway) is that JKD isn't Bruce's martial art, it's his concept, which builds on the premise you stated in the beginning "Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own."
So it's akin to Agile or Lean UX really.
Another interesting tid-bit I read in the past is that he and Dan Inosanto (still alive and carrying on the JKD legacy) would walk around pointing out things to each other that were "JKD" in regular life, outside of martial arts, much like we walk around pointing out things that are UCD (I do this anyway ;).
Really great post on UX. I should do the same with jiu-jitsu and software engineering.
Hi Joseph,
I really liked your post, but I would like to give you another "martial art" point of view.
I'm a Capoerist since 2007, but just in the last two years I really understood Capoeira.
The Capoeira basic elements are:
- small orchestra (bateria) that sings and plays tribal music
- a circle of people singing and clapping their hands following the orchestra (roda)
- two players (Capoeristas) that combine their attacks, defenses and acrobatic movements in a sort of physic dialogue
Capoeira isn't a fight. Capoeira is group communication where everybody are involved.
A Capoerist need to understand and adapt himelf to the situation (device), the music (technical requirements/clients needs) and the partner's movements (contents/functions/final users).
A Capoerist can play an acrobatic game (fancy UX), an effective game (service UX), a strategic game (test UX) and so on.
In Capoeira we don't fight, we feel and communicate to each other.
That's UX, isn't it?
Nice write up Joseph! Coincidentally, I gave a talk on a similar co-relation between UX and Wing Chun Kung Fu last month at IxDA Sydney. :) bit.ly/1jBfC8F
Be Aware Of Context And Surroundings
"Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception."
This is such a good quote! As a Uxer, you're always finding better ways to understand your users' context. Userlytics (user testing site) allows you to conduct tests that film the user AND their screen, while completing a test.
I'm sure that Bruce Lee reviewed 'game tapes' (of his craft) for improvement purposes.

Oversized to accommodate larger sleepers or those who like to sprawl out, the Exped SynMat 12 inflatable sleeping pad and its warm insulation provides luxury in the backcountry and is designed specifically for 4-season usage.
Providing warmth and comfort for 4-season backpacking, the Exped DownMat XP 9 inflatable sleeping pad has an R-value of 8.0. Insulated with 700-fill goose down, the pad ensures a comfortable night of sleep regardless of the temperature.
New for 2015! Weighing just over a pound and delivering an incredibly warm R-value of 8.0, the inflatable Exped DownMat WinterLite redefines the expectations of backpackers who are used to having to make some compromise between weight and warmth.
The self-inflating Exped SIM Comfort Duo 7.5 sleeping pad delivers 4-season performance for two sleepers. Measuring 77.5" x 52" x 3", the SIM Comfort Duo 7.5 is ready for use at the campground or anywhere you need a portable bed.
The self inflating Exped MegaMat 10 self inflating sleeping pad delivers luxurious camping comfort in any season. Due to 4" thick sidewalls, the MegaMat 10 has an incredible R-value or 9.5 and a temperature rating of -54 degrees Fahrenheit!
Providing maximum sleeping comfort and warmth, these pads are ideal for camping when you don't need to haul gear in a backpack.
These inflatable pads use air for cushioning. They're lightweight and pack smaller than closed-cell foam or self-inflating mattresses.
Open-cell foam absorbs air to self-inflate. These pads are more comfortable than closed-cell foam and don't have the "bounciness" of air mattresses.
Light enough for backpacking, yet comfortable enough for car camping, these pads strike a balance between the extremes of weight and comfort.
Ideal for hikers who are willing to sacrifice a little comfort for a lighter weight and smaller stuff size.

When you look at NFL superstar Tony Gonzalez, you don't think: He eats oatmeal for breakfast.
But the tight end, who has just retired after a Hall of Fame career with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Atlanta Falcons, does eat oatmeal for breakfast. Plus a fruit smoothie. For lunch, it's often beans and brown rice. For dinner, is it a steak? No, it's fish, whole-wheat pasta, and veggies. Dessert would be fruit sorbet.
And he's not a small guy — 6-feet-5-inches, 251 pounds — and Gonzalez certainly got enough exercise. He had a blazing football career that smashed records.
But a few years ago, he didn't feel so hot. He had a health scare and then got Bell's palsy, a rare illness that can paralyze one side of a person's face. He recovered, but started learning about healthy ways of eating. He read about how people in other countries may be healthier because they eat more vegetables and grains and less fat and sugar.
Gonzalez decided to change his usual menu, which included a lot of hamburgers, steaks, French fries, and milkshakes.
"His diet was full of lots of fat. He changed his entire approach to eating," his nutritionist, Mitzi Dulan, said.
Dulan was the nutritionist assigned to help Kansas City Chiefs players eat right. When Gonzalez was with the Chiefs, he went to her for ideas. She helped him through a 2-year process to overhaul what he was eating. It worked out so well that the two wrote a book together, "The All-Pro Diet."
Just being healthier is great, but that wasn't the only reason Gonzalez kept eating this new way. For him, eating better meant better performance. Gonzalez says he got faster and had more energy.
"What he's seeing on the field is improvement in both recovery and energy levels," Dulan said. Gonzalez is going strong.
Want to see his numbers? Gonzalez caught 93 passes for 930 yards in 2012, the same year he scored eight touchdowns. And in his position — tight end — he's smashed records. He has 1,325 receptions, which means he caught the ball 1,325 times for more than 15,000 yards!
Let's talk a little more about what's on his plate. You probably know all food has calories — units of energy that your body uses to keep going. But you might wonder why it makes a difference where your calories come from. How does your body know if you're eating 600 calories of soda and candy or 600 calories in a Gonzalez special (a dinner of fish, whole grains, and veggies)?
Your body knows, Dulan says. A sugary feast gives you a temporary boost in energy but no staying power. Contrast that with a meal of fish, brown rice, and veggies that gives you protein, fiber, and nutrients. Those calories give you longer-lasting energy. Or as Dulan puts it, "You'll be quicker on your feet."
"It's like a NASCAR driver — you wouldn't put just any fuel in your car," she said. Healthy food "is longer-lasting fuel."
If you're curious if this would work for you, Dulan says try it for a week. Eat more whole grains (brown rice, popcorn, oatmeal), more veggies, and more lean sources of protein like fish and chicken.
And right after a workout, give yourself a healthy boost with a liquid snack that includes both protein and carbohydrates. Chocolate milk is perfect, she said. Your muscles need protein and milk has it. Drink it within 20 minutes of finishing your workout. Healthy eating and the right snack after working out are two keys to Gonzalez's plan.
Want to hear it straight from a future Hall of Famer? Here's what Tony Gonzalez had to say about his healthy diet:
What's your favorite healthy food? Fruit smoothie.
What's your favorite pre-game meal or snack? Whole-wheat pasta with tomato sauce, vegetables, fruit, half a chicken breast, and half a cookie.
What's your favorite post-game meal or snack? Fish, vegetables, whole-wheat pasta with tomato sauce, sweet potatoes.
What's your favorite junk food and do you limit how much of it you eat? I don't really eat junk food, but I do have a weakness for fresh-baked cookies — chocolate chip and oatmeal are my favorites.
Have your eating habits changed since you were a kid or teen athlete? My eating habits have changed dramatically! I completely avoid packaged foods and eat a lot of healthy stuff that I never ate as a kid. Now, I eat lots of fruits and vegetables every single day.
Any food advice for kids and teens who are practicing and playing hard? Yes, get plenty of fruits and vegetables for good energy. Avoid fast food, packaged foods, and foods loaded with added sugar.
How do you help your own kids eat right? I prepare meals for them and make sure they get fruits and vegetables at every meal. I follow my own advice — I don't give them anything from a package.
If you want to eat like Gonzalez, consider trying this fish taco recipe. It's a great way to get more fish in your diet. Eat a variety of fish for maximum nutrition — Tony Gonzalez does!
This recipe involves using the stove and chopping stuff up, so ask a grownup to make it with you.
Makes 5 servings (2 tacos per serving)

I'm a little impressed what Cubase can do today!
I have this old cassette-recording I wanted to "snatch" the guitar solo from, because it's worth a better fate.
It's just me and a friend but I had this plan for ages to rerecord the silly song and the solo has to be note for note perfect so ... haha! I brought it onto myself
I want to do it as exact as possible so I need to practice a little and I needed to loop a section at a time.
I thought I just use the tempo detection thingie but alas the tape was just a mess!!!
All bass and thunder synth pads and heavy guitars and almost no drums ... very old tape ... VERY OLD!
what to do?
I have tried this before but this seemed to be to far gone but it's worth a try.
What I did was I had the original audio track and then I duplicated it and muted the original.
Then I proceeded to heavily EQ the copy track to get rid all the noises that distracted Cubase while detecting the tempo.
I ended up with a "curve from hell" with two sharp peeks, on around 100hz and the other at 5kHz.
The rest of the curve was lying flat at the bottom almost of the window and the sound was HORRID!!!
*pf tz pf tz pf tz pf tz pf tz pf tz * but that's what I was after.
Then I used the tempo detection tool and ... voilà!!! IT WORKED!
I unmuted the original track and muted the EQed copy and now I have a workable tempotrack.
I can loop any bar and practice all I want until I have it down exactly as I want it.
Mission accomplished!

Dyax made a strategic partnership with Novellus Biopharma, a Latin American-focused pharmaceuticals company, for the development and commercialization of Kalbitor® (ecallantide) for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) and other angioedema indications in select regions in Latin America including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela. Kalbitor is marketed in United States for the treatment of acute attacks of HAE in patients 16 years of age and older. It became commercially available in the U.S. in February of 2010.
As part of the agreement, Dyax will receive an up-front payment and is eligible to receive future sales milestones. Dyax is also eligible to receive royalties on net product sales. Novellus is solely responsible for all costs associated with necessary development, regulatory activities, and the commercialization of Kalbitor in the covered territories. Additionally, Novellus will purchase drug product from Dyax on a cost-plus basis for commercial supply.
"Novellus' experience in bringing novel biotherapeutics to market will be important in delivering Kalbitor to HAE patients in this region," said Gustav Christensen, president and CEO of Dyax. "We continue to make strides in expanding the availability of Kalbitor and delivering an acute HAE treatment to patients in need around the globe."
Dyax is spreading the gospel of Kalbitor to every nation. In June, it granted exclusive distribution rights to Middle-Eastern healthcare marketing company taiba for the use of Kalbitor in the treatment of HAE within the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, and Iran. Likewise, back in June of 2010, it made another strategic partnership with Defiante Farmaceutica, a subsidiary of the pharmaceutical company Sigma-Tau, to develop and commercialize Kalbitor (also known as subcutaneous DX-88) for the treatment of HAE and other therapeutic indications throughout Europe, North Africa, Middle East, and Russia. The Defiante partnership was expanded in January of 2011 to include Australia and New Zealand, and again in May of the same year to include development and commercialization rights in Latin America (excluding Mexico and the Caribbean), Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea.

Jack Benny
Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy was ENORMOUS in the 80's. His shows, and Mike Tyson's fights, were THE BIGGEST TICKETS. Bigger than Super Bowl tickets. Anyone who votes for Dane Cook needs to re-evaluate their sense of humor. Seriously.

Holy crap I forgot about Robin Williams. How could they not add him to this list but add Chris Rock and Joan Rivers?
I voted for Richard Pryor, but Mitch Hedberg would be a close second.
George Burns
Serious, Dane Cook? How did he make the list? Eddie Murphy. Good call. Probably the most important comedian to black culture after Richard Pryor, and of course Dave Chapelle is responsible for some of the greatest comic satire in history (Clayton Bigsby, Tyrone) and epic mass-cult sketches of Rick James, Prince, etc.)
Sam Kinison
I dont disagree with the top 2, but how is Steve Martin not getting more respect? I have all of his early standup on vinyl. He was brilliant.
I'm no prude so I can laugh at an Eddie or Pryor joke any day but there is a gift in Cosby's storytelling that is gold evertime. It's another talent all together to be able to be funny to anyone.
Seriously how is Eddie Murphy not on here and Dane Cook is? Has Woot employees never seen Raw or Delirious.
Not sure I can call him a standup comic, but Phil Hartman was very funny. I always enjoyed his characters and humor. He is greatly missed.
I would not put down Robin Williams, surely a comic great, but he is amusing, as opposed to actually funny. Few comedians really make me laugh- the laugh- so-hard-you-quit-breathing kind. My favorite is Dylan Moran- now he is FUNNY, not just amusing, clowning, witty, or insightful.
Ron White
Russell Peters!
Brian Regan!!!
Richard Pryor hands down.

Robin Williams wasn't funny. That's why they didn't add him to the list. He's an egotistical, neurotic, eccentric who is only funny to himself and people with blue hair and diapers. If you're laughing at his chatter you're more than likely walking with a cane.
Eddie Izzard.
How about real comedians and not movie stars? Gary Gulman Mitch Hedberg John Heffron Ralphie May Dat Phan Lisa Lampinelli Al Lubell Josh Blue Billy Connelly Jim Norton Pat Condell (my favorite) Sam Kinison Dave Attell Greg Giraldo Jim Gaffigan Daniel Tosh Bill Maher Sarah Silverman Ellen DeGenerate Gambler Ricky Gervais (Ok, now I'm naming TV & Movie stars) Iliza Shlesinger Jim Carrey was hysterical as a comic. If we're doing movie star comics then I vote for him.
Carlin. He was not just a comic... a standing philosopher.
Where is: George Burns? Robin Williams? Gracie Allen? Bob Hope? Redd Foxx? Sam Kinison? Abe Vigoda?
No Dave Chappelle mention? Not one? Fail. He has broken his own record at (I believe) the comedy store for longest standup. He is up there with Pryor. Carlin towards the end got too philospohical and self righteous to me.
Who the he77 keeps voting for Dane Cook?? :|
I have to vote for the atheist. Carlin! You're the man! Jesus, you can go fiddle faddle yourself!!!!
Can't recall his name, they did a movie about him. Controversial and iconoclastic. Could improvise from a newspaper...take that back, so could I! Otherwise, George Carlin, or maybe George Bush.
Sam Kinnison!
Phyllis Diller Rita Rudner Rowan Atkinson!! Monty Python! :P MR WARMTH Don Rickles Johnathan Winters Rodney Dangerfield so so many more!
Earl Wajdyk wrote:Can't recall his name, they did a movie about him. Controversial and iconoclastic. Could improvise from a newspaper...take that back, so could I! Otherwise, George Carlin, or maybe George Bush.
...HEEERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAAAAAY!.... [tankyou] Andy Kaufman?
Mitch Hedberg. He is the only one I can quote from memory, and often, in everyday conversation.
Mr. USO - Bob Hope. They even named a ship after him!
Almost voted for Carlin, then chose Cosby because he makes me laugh with distressing my hatred of foul mouthed comics. I had the privilege of seeing Cosby live in Las Vegas once and even live on stage he made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt, without resorting to filthy language. Shows me he is an educated man who has a vocabulary that goes beyond four letter words. Just to indicate how old I'll be next Wednesday, I'd nominate Red Skelton (especially his Pledge of Allegiance) and Victor Borge for the same reason.
Billy Crystal needs to be in the list, and not part of the "also ran" grouping. It also would be interesting to see the age breakout of those in the voting group. Looking at these names just makes you laugh!!!
Andy kaufman
Brian Regan or Daniel Tosh!
Sam Kinnison. Honorable mentions Rita Rutledge, Margaret Cho.
Jonathon Winters
Lenny Bruce. Seriously, how is he not included in these deliberations? It's a travesty that he's become a footnote in this kind of discussion. Carlin and Bill Hicks kept the fire burning, too...
Had to vote for Carlin just because his entire body of work spanned generations. But Bill Hicks was right there. They both had genius insight into the evil machinations that have become our society.
