Dina tweeted this editorial in the radically leftist UK Guardian, of all places.
Hamas's charter includes the aspiration that "The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews)". While many concentrate on its death-cult worship, its bloodthirsty killing of adversaries, or its contempt for women, Christians and homosexuals, it is this aspiration for genocide that is at the root of Hamas activities. This is the primary reason why Hamas, the governing regime in Gaza, will never recognise or accept a peace accord with Israel in any form.
Since Israel left Gaza in 2005, thousands of rockets have rained down on Israeli cities and towns in deliberate contravention not just of international law, but all humanity and morality.
[…]Every rocket from Gaza is a double war crime. First, the rockets are aimed at civilians; second, they are fired from built-up civilian areas, often close to schools, mosques and hospitals. And about 10% of Hamas rockets fired from Gaza don't reach Israel, exploding in Gaza. Mohammed Sadallah – a four-year-old killed on Saturday, his body displayed in a press conference with Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's leader – was, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, most likely killed by an errant Hamas rocket.
Hamas leaders frequently declare that their people actively seek death. Fathi Hamad, a senior member of Hamas, stated in 2008 that "for the Palestinian people, death became an industry, at which women and children excel. Accordingly we created a human shield of women, children and elderly. We seek death as you [Israelis] desire life."
[…]Israel has successfully targeted in excess of 1,300 weapons caches, rocket launchers and other elements of Hamas's terrorist infrastructure. Yet despite this, the number of Palestinian casualties remains around one for every 13 strikes, the majority killed being active members of Hamas and combatants.
There is no moral equivalence here – one side is good and the other side is evil. It's a black and white issue.
When I was in graduate school, I was partnered up with an exchange student from Egypt. She said that Israelis were terrorists because they killed civilians while using force. I told her that terrorism is the intentional targeting of civilians for attacks rather than military targets. Therefore, Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorists, and Israel is not. Israel uses arms in self-defense, and they try to minimize civilian casualties by giving warnings of strikes. Islamic groups intentionally target civilians – schools and hospitals. The Islamic groups are terrorists and the IDF is acting in self-defense against unprovoked rocket attacks.
If Islamic terrorists laid down their arms, then tomorrow there would be peace. But if Israeli Defense Forces laid down their arms, then tomorrow, Israel would be destroyed, and every Jew in it. That is why the IDF has to do what the IDF has to do. And this time, I hope that they don't use half-measures to stop the flow of rockets into Israel. They must use the appropriate force necessary to stop the rocket attacks.

A drug used to treat canker sores in people has made some fat lab mice skinny. In the laboratory, Saltiel and his team used mice that were genetically modified to be obese or that were fed a high-fat diet and grew obese. Some of the mice then were given Amlexanox, a prescription-only drug approved in the U.S. to treat canker sores.

Humans and their pet dogs are close, so close that they both develop a type of cancer called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In humans it's the most common lymphoma subtype while in dogs, it's one of the most common cancers in veterinary oncology. Now, a study comparing canine and human B-cell lymphoma has found molecular similarities between the cancers, allowing researchers to better understand the origins of the disease in both species.

Researchers at UC Berkeley have developed an easier and more effective method for inserting genes into eye cells that could greatly expand gene therapy to help restore sight to patients with blinding diseases ranging from inherited defects like retinitis pigmentosa to degenerative illnesses of old age, such as macular degeneration. The engineered virus works far better than current therapies in rodent models of two human degenerative eye diseases, and can penetrate photoreceptor cells in monkeys' eyes, which are like those of humans.

A team of NIH-supported researchers is the first to show, in mice, an unexpected two-step process that happens during the growth and regeneration of inner ear tip links. Tip links are extracellular tethers that link stereocilia, the tiny sensory projections on inner ear hair cells that convert sound into electrical signals, and play a key role in hearing. The discovery offers a possible mechanism for potential interventions that could preserve hearing in people whose hearing loss is caused by genetic disorders related to tip link dysfunction.

The mouse hospital at Beth Israel Deaconess and a few similar ones elsewhere are at the forefront of a new approach to studying human cancers. The mice are given genes that make them develop tumors in the same organs as humans, which means the researchers need scanners to watch the tumors' growth inside the animals' bodies. So the mouse hospitals have tiny ultrasound machines, CT and PET scanners, and magnetic resonance imaging machines with little stretchers to slide the mice into the machines. They also have mouse pharmacies to formulate medicines in mouse-size doses and mouse clinical laboratories specially designed to do analyses on minute drops of mouse blood and vanishingly small quantities of mouse urine. That lets them follow cancers' growth and responses to treatments.

The master and his dog are both very nervous. On a Thursday morning in April, Randy Wildebrandt has brought Jazzy, a black, 14-year-old poodle, to the MU veterinary hospital for an examination of a cancerous tumor on her right hind leg. She will be injected with a radioactive liquid for a PET, or positron emission topography scan to determine whether her treatment is shrinking the tumor, then she'll spend a day in isolation while the radiation wears off. Jazzy is one of several dogs receiving experimental treatments through the comparative oncology program at MU. Veterinarians hope they can examine the dogs' responses to the treatments to learn new ways of fighting cancer in humans.

If you prod a zebrafish embryo, it will normally twitch its tail and try to escape. By watching embryos that wouldn't twitch properly, a team of scientists has discovered that a gene called STAC3is the cause of a rare inherited muscle disorder called Native American myopathy (NAM). The team also showed that STAC3 plays an important and previously unrecognized role in muscle contractions.

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health, and their colleagues, have discovered that a gene called BACH2 may play a central role in the development of diverse allergic and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, and type-1 diabetes. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks normal cells and tissues in the body that are generally recognized as "self" and do not normally trigger immune responses. Autoimmunity can occur in infectious diseases and cancer.

The Colonial Athletic Association has approached Elon University in conversations that could lead to the Phoenix leaving the Southern Conference.
No invitation has been extended to join the CAA, which stretches from UNC Wilmington to Northeastern in Boston among its full-time membership — and even further north to Maine in football.
But Elon is doing more than listening, with dialogue on the subject intensifying around campus and school leaders investigating the ramifications of such a move.
"Elon is looking at its conference affiliation and evaluating what is in the best long-term interest of the university," school spokesman Dan Anderson said. "It's important for us to keep all of our constituents apprised of the fact that the university is looking at this seriously.
"We're looking at all the options that might be available to the university, which schools might be in which conferences. That takes some time to study and to think through, and we're going through that process now."
That process has included Elon president Leo Lambert presenting and discussing the matter at the school's May faculty meeting. Lambert also conducted a similar get-together with the school's student government association.
Elon athletics director Dave Blank met with the school's student-athlete advisory committee, a group comprised of two representatives from each of the Phoenix's 17 teams.
Those fact-finding talks, as Blank termed them, delved into, among other things, the unsettled nature of the Southern Conference, which is losing College of Charleston to the CAA this summer and Appalachian State (to the Sun Belt), Georgia Southern (to the Sun Belt) and Davidson (to the Atlantic 10) after the 2013-14 academic year.
"If anybody is going to consider moving to another conference, they're going to do a lot of research to make sure it's the right thing for their institution," Blank said. "And in considering what's going on with the Southern Conference right now, that's part of our dialogue.
"It's not specifically tied to a move or not. It's what's everybody's reaction to all the possibilities — 'Stay in the Southern Conference? Go somewhere else? What's the Southern Conference going to do?' — just general discussion to have our constituents informed on what's going on with conference affiliation in general."
Elon, then a Division I newcomer in its fourth year, left the Big South and joined the Southern Conference in 2003.
Should an offer from the CAA materialize, the ultimate decision on Elon's end would rest with Lambert and the school's board of trustees, which meets biannually in March and October. Significant issues can be and are handled via teleconferences among its executive committee.
"So it's not like they would have to wait for the next meeting," Anderson said. "They do business throughout the year on a regular basis."
Blank said: "These things are at the presidential level, and that's all fine and well."
Sources have told the Times-News that Lambert recently spoke with Jonathan Alger, president of James Madison, a CAA member, about a number of issues pertaining to a possible move, from travel costs to scheduling.
If the door opens, how seriously is Elon considering jumping to the CAA?
"If anybody tells you it's a done deal, they're wrong. The decision has not been made," another source said. "But the conversations and the dialogue are very intense."
The trickle-down effect of league realignment arrived in full on the Southern Conference's doorstep at this time last year, when the depleted CAA pursued College of Charleston and Davidson, and even spoke with Appalachian State.
Some reports last year mentioned Elon as a potential backup option for the CAA, though the CAA — which, like Elon, competes on the Football Championship Subdivision level — never contacted or reached out to the Phoenix then.
Now, a year later, the Southern Conference is in the process of losing Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, with a combined nine FCS titles between them, Davidson, the league's premier men's basketball program, which has participated in five of the last eight NCAA Tournaments, and College of Charleston, perennially strong in men's basketball and baseball.
Mercer, East Tennessee State and Virginia Military Institute are the top candidates on the Southern Conference's list of possible additions. Sources have deemed Mercer a veritable lock to be invited to join the league, while opinions remain split on East Tennessee State and VMI, according to sources.
"I would say things have been unstable," Blank said, referring to the Southern Conference. "The question is, 'How quickly can things be stabilized?' As a conference, some decisions have to be made here in a relatively short period of time.
"I don't know if you could find a conference right now that doesn't have somebody involved in discussions of some kind with somebody else. We're in such a country-wide state of flux, maybe everybody's unstable right now."

Materials on Eric Eustace Williams in dLOC
The Eric Eustace Williams materials in the Digital Library of the Caribbean include a bibliography and a growing body of works by and about Dr. Williams, the first Prime Minister of the Trinidad and Tobago and often called the "Father of the Nation." Dr. Williams' importance as an historic figure in the Caribbean, indeed in North America and within the British Commonwealth, however, is as much as a philosopher as a politician. The works collected here should provide the researcher with the raw materials to study how he married his academic and political pursuits and how the character of the man fostered independence throughout the Caribbean. The works listed and collected here include Dr. William's many monographs and essays, together with his political speeches and other published works. Also included here is a characterization of Dr. Williams' political life as reported by the Trinidad Guardian.
About the Digitization
Digitization of Dr. Williams' works is on-going and currently compelled by the work of volunteers. The creators of this collection trust, as this effort continues, that researchers will avail themselves of Dr. Williams' works, collected by and available through Inter-Library Loan from libraries through out the Caribbean, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In particular, we hope that researchers will extend their support to the Eric Williams Memorial Collection on the St. Augustine, Trinidad campus of the University of the West Indies, which has been named a World Heritage Resource by UNESCO.
The bibliography is the work of both librarians at the University of Florida and of Erica Williams Connell. Digitized works collected here were contributed largely from the in the Department of Special and Area Studies Collections at the University of Florida in Gainesville but also from the in Miami. And, news reports from the were reproduced, with the kind permission of the Guardian's publisher, the Trinidad Publishing Co. LTD., from the microfilm archive created by the Preservation Department of the University of Florida.
Brief Biography
Dr. Eric Eustace Williams was born to Henry and Elisa Williams on September 25, 1911 on the British Caribbean Island of Trinidad. Williams studied at Queen's Royal College in Trinidad and continued his studies, as the recipient of the "Island Scholarship", at Oxford University in England. In 1938, he received his Doctor of Philosophy degree from Oxford. His dissertation, later published as Capitalism and Slavery, documented the economic aspect of the slave trade and slavery in the Caribbean.
In 1939, Dr. Williams took a teaching position at Howard University in Washington, D.C. During World War II and while still in the United States, he served as a consultant to the Anglo-American Caribbean Commission, which had been formed to outline the status of Caribbean following the war. In 1948, leaving Howard University, Williams assumed the chief position of the Commission's Research Branch. Williams resigned the position in 1955 to protest the Commission's policies and returned to Trinidad and Tobago.
In 1956, Dr. Williams formed the People's National Movement (PNM), a political party, which won national elections in September of that year. Dr. William's political life was a series of increasingly important positions. From 1956 to 1959, he served as first Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. From 1959 to 1962, he served as the country's Premier. And, from 1962 until his death on March 29, 1981, Williams served as its Prime Minister. One of the Caribbean's greatest men, Dr. Eric Eustace Williams was often called the "Father of the Nation", leading it into the Federation of the West Indies, the political union of British Caribbean territories, and in 1962 to independence within the Commonwealth.

Must be the bar really is rising for North Carolina State's basketball team.
A few Wolfpack players barely acknowledged satisfaction with their most-recent Atlantic Coast Conference victory.
Now less than 48 hours after turning aside Clemson, N.C. State is back in action tonight at Wake Forest — a team that covets most anything that ends up in the win column.
"We didn't play as well as we should have," N.C. State guard Lorenzo Brown said in regard to topping Clemson 66-62. "We didn't play to the best of our ability. But we got the 'W' and that's all that matters."
Another 'W' would give the Wolfpack more than half of its total ACC victories last year (9-7) when the league used a 16-game setup. This season, there are 18 conference games.
Be sure, there was no gloating from the N.C. State side after defeating Clemson.
"We did some good things to win the ball game," senior forward Richard Howell said. "We also did some bad things to keep them in the ball game."
The Wolfpack apparently was feeling so indifferent about the performance that freshman T.J. Warren, who scored a team-best 21 points, had to be coaxed to talk to reporters.
But coach Mark Gottfried of N.C. State recognized the significance of winning another conference game.
"Guys made some good decisions at the right time," he said.
And so Gottfried, when asked about the lack of excitement expressed by his team upon winning, said there were enough good elements to go around.
"Part of being in a league like this is you're going to grind some out," Gottfried said. "They're not all going to be glamorous. It became a grinder. You have to find a way to win in different ways."
Wake Forest is coming off Saturday's one-point loss at Virginia Tech. Yet coach Jeff Bzdelik said there's an optimistic tone from his team despite the most-recent disappointing result.
"Our team has shown resiliency this year," Bzdelik said. "We are looking forward to that challenge. I think sometimes being young helps because they are so resilient. So I have no doubt that they'll respond in a positive way."
Who: No. 18 N.C. State (15-3, 4-1) at Wake Forest (9-8, 2-3)
When: 7 tonight (RSN)
Where: Joel Coliseum, Winston-Salem
Series: N.C. State leads 136-99, including five victories in a row

Menopause Symptoms
Medical Author: Melissa Stoppler, M.D.
Medical Editor: Dennis Lee, MD
Some of the symptoms of menopause can actually begin years before menstrual periods stop occurring. Doctors generally use the term "perimenopause" to refer to the time period beginning prior to the menopause (when some of the signs and symptoms of menopause begin to occur) up through the first year following menopause. Menopause itself is defined as having had 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.
Menopause symptoms begin gradually while the ovaries are still functioning and a woman is still having menstrual periods. These symptoms can begin as early as the 4th decade of life (when a woman is in her 30s) and may persist for years until menopause has occurred. The symptoms occur early because the levels of hormones produced by the ovaries (estrogen and progesterone) decline slowly over time as a woman reaches her forties. The severity and duration of symptoms vary widely among individuals - some women may experience only minimal symptoms for a year or two, while others may experience at least some of the symptoms for several years.

Support Home > Chart Navigator Pro & Chart Navigator Light > Technical Documents > 2c. Using a Garmin GPSMAP 2006/2010 with Chart Navigator Pro
Electronics Hookup and Configuration
Garmin GPSMAP 2006/2010
The Garmin 2006/2010 can supply Chart Navigator Pro with a GPS fix as well as depth, water speed, and water temperature information. It is also compatible with the route and waypoint transfer feature. However, due to limitations of the 2006/2010, the same port configuration cannot be used for both depth/water speed/water temperature operation and route/waypoint transfer operation. The depth/water speed/water temperature information is only sent by the 2006/2010 when the port is configured for the NMEA 0183 Serial Data Format and waypoint/route transfers are only enabled when the port is configured for Garmin Data Transfers.
Basic Interconnection
The Garmin 2006/2010 has two ports labeled "Port 1" and "Port 2". Port 1 is designed for direct connection to a PC or another Garmin 2006/2010 and Port 2 is designed for connected to other NMEA 0183 equipment. The electrical interfaces of both ports is the same, but Port 1 can be set to use either the NMEA 0183 protocol or the Garmin Data Transfer Protocol. The Garmin Data Transfer Protocol must be used for transferring routes and waypoints to and from the 2006/2010 so we recommend connecting the PC to that port. The blue wire on the 2006/2010 should be connected to pin 2 of the 9-pin PC serial port connector, the brown wire should be connected to pin 3, and the black wire should be connected to pin 5. For more information, see the Garmin 2006/2010 Installation Guide.
Route and Waypoint Transfers
- Make sure the Serial Data Format is set to "Garmin Data Transfer"
- Make sure the Transfer Mode on the Garmin is set to "Host".
For more information, see page 76 of the Garmin 2006/2010 Owner's Manual.
Note: When the Serial Data Format is set to "Garmin Data Transfer" the 2006/2010 will not send depth, water speed, or water temperature information to the port so Chart Navigator Pro features that rely on that data will not function. GPS fix information is still sent in Garmin Data Transfer mode, however.
Selecting the right Advanced NMEA Output Setup options
The Garmin 2006/2010 provides several advanced options that control how NMEA 0183 data is sent to the ports:
GPS Status (GSA, GSV)
This option must be On for the GPS Status Panel in Chart Navigator Pro to function.
Waypoint/Route (WPL, RTE)
Chart Navigator Pro will not use this information, so the setting may be On or Off
GARMIN Proprietary
Chart Navigator Pro does not use this information, so the setting may be On or Off.
Lat/Lon Minutes Precision
Chart Navigator Pro will use all the precision it can get, so set this to the maximum number of digits for more accurate positioning on the chart.

Mike - That shit is insane. I love the fact it is not even close to a typical looking demon. The lighting and composition are great.
orcatraz - The body motion and lighting were nice, but I would have liked to see the legs lit up a little more.
jmascho vs BoBo the seal - Both very nice pieces. Yes, it is going to be hard to judge that one.
Steak - Oh my, your therapist must make some good money off of you... that is one sick piece and nicely done as well.

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University field hockey team had its penalty corner game going on Saturday, and it used it to earn a 5-2 victory over Missouri State. Miami improves to 8-6 overall and 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference. The Bears fall to 3-11 overall and 0-3 in the MAC.
The RedHawks featured a balance offense, as five different players scored on Saturday. Each goal was scored on a penalty corner attack.
Miami got on the board in the fifth minute when senior back Jordan Long found junior back Ali Froede for the goal. Two minutes later, junior midfielder Gabby Goldach tipped in freshman midfielder Carla Romagosa's pass to make it 2-0. It remained that way until the 19th minute, when a strong pass allowed Missouri State to put a goal in the left side and send the game into the break with the 'Hawks in front, 2-1.
On a penalty corner in the 41st minute, the Bears were able to make a defensive save on sophomore midfielder Bea Dechant's shot. Senior forward Emily Gruesser was there to grab the rebound, and she plugged it in to make it 3-1.
Miami put the game away during a three minute stretch beginning in the 51st minute. Romagosa found Long to give the RedHawks a 4-1 advantage. Dechant then completed Miami's scoring in the 54th minute off a pass from senior back Sid Marcum. Missouri State made it 5-2 in the 63rd minute when it scored on a penalty stroke.
The RedHawks outshot the Bears, 13-9, for the game. Miami also had a 7-4 advantage in penalty corners. Gruesser led the 'Hawks with four shots, while senior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller made five saves in net.
Miami returns to action on Sunday when it hosts 18th-ranked Iowa at noon.

|Breaking news
Current officer
The 56th and current governor is Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat elected in 2010.
Governor Cuomo is divorced. His girlfriend, Sandra Lee, serves as the First Lady on New York.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Under Article IV, Section I:
The executive power shall be vested in the governor...
Candidate for the governor's office must be:
- a citizen of the United States
- at least 30 years old
- a resident of New York for at least five years prior to the election
New York elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For New York, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the first day in the January following an election. Thus, January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2015 are inaugural days.
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article IV, Sections 5 and 6.
If a Governor-elect declines to accept the office, the Lieutenant Governor-elect shall take office as the Governor and serve the term. If the Governor-elect fails to qualify or is temporarily unable to take the oath, the Lieutenant Governor-elect serves as the Acting Governor until the elected Governor's disability is removed.
The Lieutenant Governor also ascends to the office whenever there is a temporary or permanent vacancy during a Governor's term.
In the event that the Governor dies, resigns, or is removed, then the Lieutenant Governor becomes Governor and serves the remainder of the term.
If the Governor is absent, impeached, or unable to discharge the office, the Lieutenant Governor becomes Acting Governor until the disability is removed or until the term expires.
If both offices are vacant, a special election shall be held at the next general election, provided it is not less than three months from the date both offices became vacant. The office of the lieutenant governor may never be elected without a governor also being elected. If the office of the lieutenant governor alone is vacant, the Senate President Pro Tem serves as the temporary Lieutenant Governor.
In such an instance, the Senate President Pro Tem shall serve as a Temporary Governor, followed by the Speaker of the Assembly.
The Governor charged with a number of responsibilities such as the preparation of the state's budget, execution and enforcement of the state of New York laws and Commander-in-Chief of New York's military and naval forces.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Convening the Senate or the entire legislature for extraordinary session (§ 3)
- Giving periodic addresses to the legislature on the state of the state (§ 3)
- Granting reprieves, pardons, and commutations for all offenses except treason and impeachment (§ 4)
- Vetoing bills, including appropriations, subject to a super majority override of the legislature (§ 7)
- See also: Comparison of gubernatorial salaries
Under Article IV, Section3, the governor's salary is legally fixed by a joint resolution of the Senate and Assembly.
As of 2010, the Governor of New York is paid $179,000 a year, the 2nd highest gubernatorial salary in America.

Read Montague:
What we're learning from 5,000 brains
Mice, bugs and hamsters are no longer the only way to study the brain. Functional MRI (fMRI) allows scientists to map brain activity in living, breathing, decision-making human beings. Read Montague gives an overview of how this technology is helping us understand the complicated ways in which we interact with each other.

What's not to like about a somewhat out-of-the-way bistrotière like Astier, serving examples of classic French cuisine, keeping the torch alive of a genre that's become harder to find done right?
The pre-fixe menu at Astier is a little gentler at €35, and you can choose from four of five selections in each category. There's more extensive selections on the à la carte side of the carte. (Traveler tip: Menu in French means a fixed series of dishes, often les plates du jour composed of various courses. A carte is the actual physical menu.) but we were thoroughly pleased with chunky block of house-made foie gras sprinkled with fleur de sel, with toasted brioche and chutney alongside.
Warm brandade (whipped salted fish and potatoes) was a good rendition of the classic thankfully served in appetizer proportions, although I could have done without the diced roasted peppers on top which detracted from the taste. (I may also be a little biased, though because also can't stand roasted peppers.) My main course was a shallow bowl of slow-roasted, tender lamb shoulder with stubby baby carrots in a thick jus and exactly what I felt like eating sitting in a Parisian bistro.
The star of the show at Astier, which I hope they never take off the stage (I'm sure there would be a riot if they did, and I'd lead the pack) is the massive cheese plate. There's hardly room on the table for it – Another tip: hold on to your wine glasses when they set it down – then dive right in. We had to guide our stunned neighbors when it was their turn with the cheese board—Romain is especially good at taking charge and took control, slicing cheese for them and putting in on their plates. When it was our turn, he loaded me up with five superb specimens: Époisses (which was the best I've ever had), Salers, Brie de Meaux, a fine, ripe Camembert, and a tangy Basque sheep's milk cheese.
(Next time someone says the French practice portion control, they can remove Romain—and his damn 28-inch waist—from that equation.)
Needless to say, I could barely eat my rice pudding, which tasted fine with some poached fruits embedded in the top, but when the waiter set down a studly Baba au rhum in from of the man behind us, just about every head in the room turned, especially when the garçon split it open and doused both halves with nearly a quarter bottle of rum. His wife, who was being prudent forking up a warm chocolate cake, said to me "C'est le meilleur Baba au rhum à Paris!" And from the look of his face, she wasn't lying.
We had a bottle of Chenin blanc (€22) from the Touraine*, which was the first selection on the reasonable wine list, after we started off with two glasses of Champagne. (€11 each and kind of steep, but I really needed a glass that night and didn't think it'd be polite to drink one in front of a dinner companion without springing for one for him as well.) Dinner for two, with a few supplemental charges, because we veered a bit from the menu fixe, came in at €118. A few years back, a major food magazine was going to do an issue on Paris, but the editor told me she was concerned about the prices in Paris, especially with the exchange rate. But a four-course meal like this in any American city, with wine and two pre-dinner glasses of bubbly would cost about twice as much.
(I'd also like to give points to Astier for serving bottles of chilled filtered water, still or sparkling, at no extra cost. France is one of the largest consumers of bottled water in the world, and the tap water is perfectly safe to drink, and free. The waitress told me they were trying to reduce waste and the strain on the waiters, who were tired of carrying all those cases of bottles. It's a great initiative, one which I hope more restaurants worldwide would adopt.)
It's tricky these days to find an honest French meal in Paris, made with good ingredients by actual cooks rather than hired hands. And when I left, I took a peek in the sparkling kitchen where the cooks were staying busy plating up food for the other lucky diners. The waiters were hovering by the door and the owner was behind the bar polishing glasses, waiting to say goodbye as we left. I was a little sorry to go, but happy that there was a reasonably long walk home in front of me, because I needed it.

*I'm far from being an expert on wine, but I sure like it. And I used to come to France before I moved here and was usually timid about ordering it because of my inexpertise, so would limit myself to order bottles with familiar names, like Côte du Rhone and such. But I've been trying to learn more (by tasting, bien sûr) and as I started moving toward white wines, I found I was really enjoying wines from the Touraine, an area not far from Paris called the Loire.
The best white wine from that region is Sancerre, which is always priced a bit higher than the other white wines. (And usually merits it.) But other white wines from the Loire are Sauvignon blanc and Chemin blanc, and are often quite good and economical choices, if that's a concern. You don't have to pay a lot of money to drink decent wine in France.
Muscadet is another white wine produced in the same region, which has the unfortunate association (because the names are similar) with inexpensive sweet wine called Muscatel, which it doesn't resemble. Muscadets aren't always great wines, but some aren't bad and I'll take a glass at a bar during l'heure d'apéro, the pre-dinner drink.
So if you're in a restaurant and want to try something different, if you see the word "Touraine" listed after a bottle, and something bright and minerally appeals to you, you might want to give one a try. And if anyone gives you a hard time about it, tell them you're supporting the local wines.

Understanding Cancer -- Diagnosis and Treatment
How Is Cancer Diagnosed?
The earlier cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of its being cured. Some types of cancer -- such as those of the skin, breast, mouth, testicles, prostate, and rectum -- may be detected by routine self-exam or other screening measures before the symptoms become serious. Most cases of cancer are detected and diagnosed after a tumor can be felt or when other symptoms develop. In a few cases, cancer is diagnosed incidentally as a result of evaluating or treating other medical conditions.
Cancer diagnosis begins with a thorough physical exam and a complete medical history. Laboratory studies of blood, urine, and stool can detect abnormalities that may indicate cancer. When a tumor is suspected, imaging tests such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fiber-optic endoscopy examinations help doctors determine the cancer's location and size. To confirm the diagnosis of most cancers , a biopsy needs to be performed in which a tissue sample is removed from the suspected tumor and studied under a microscope to check for cancer cells.
