Basketball transfers accused of violations
S.D. High coach denies allegations
Three touted college basketball prospects who transferred to San Diego High in September are now caught in a legal battle that includes allegations of questionable living arrangements for the players and secret cash payments to a player's mother.
Before the season, the California Interscholastic Federation's San Diego Section ruled the players ineligible to play, pending a scheduled hearing tomorrow by the CIF's state appeals panel. Meanwhile, an internal CIF document recommends the removal of Cavers coach Kenny Roy and his assistant Jerome Sherman.
Roy, the players and parents have adamantly denied the section's allegations.
"What they're doing is making up false accusations," said Roy, whose team won the San Diego Section Division I title last season. "They have no proof of anything Since the time I've taken over at San Diego High, I felt that I've been a target, for whatever reason."
Terrence Boyd, Zechariah Smith and LaBradford Franklin were ruled ineligible based on several alleged rules violations involving their transfers. Boyd and Smith came from Oklahoma, Franklin from Temecula.
The players and their parents have fought the ruling in San Diego Superior Court but have been told by the judge to wait until the outcome of tomorrow's hearing. They said the section's ruling has hurt their chances for college scholarships and their hope of playing in San Diego High's scheduled appearance in a nationally televised game Jan. 23 on ESPN2.
Roy described the case as a witch hunt against him at the expense of his players. He said his team attracts transfers without undue influence from him. He said transfers join his team because of his program's success and because of heralded 6-foot-11 junior Jeremy Tyler, who has drawn attention as one of the top 10 national prospects in his class. The section sees it differently.
"Why would three kids, who all happen to be powerhouse nationally ranked players, come to little old San Diego High School at the same time, when there just happens to be an ESPN2 game and a big tournament?" asked Dino Buzunis, attorney for the San Diego Section. "You're supposed to go to school and play sports in the attendance district where you live."
In documents it filed in court, the section outlines its case against the three players and Roy. It says the transfers were athletically motivated and therefore improper.
It said Boyd has been living in a downtown luxury condo with his unemployed mother, who is paying $2,400 a month for the lease. The section says it is "informed and believes that the source of the cash payments is from an individual in New York unrelated to Terrence and his mother. The individual identified himself to the landlord as a friend" of Boyd's mother.
The 6-foot-5 Boyd, a senior, is ranked as the nation's ninth small forward prospect by Rivals.com. He has received recruiting interest from Kentucky, Oklahoma, USC and Oklahoma State. In Oklahoma, he was found ineligible for hav ing received improper monetary benefits from a third party while playing for Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. The amount alleged by Boyd was $640.

2011 BEST Women's Shoes
Barneys New York
A store's shoe section cannot be judged by its stock of sky-high Manolos and red-soled Louboutins alon—though, to be sure, Barneys has plenty of those. No, what we need is a selection that will keep us feeling well heeled even on the days when cabbing it just isn't an option. Shoes we can walk in, trod over brick sidewalks in—hell, hoof across the Charlestown Bridge in. Which is why we're gaga over this store's lineup of Lanvin studded sandals, Jil Sander Chukka wedge booties, and Margiela oxfords. Posh, meet practical. We've been meaning to introduce you two.

Joshua A. Tucker's Recent Discussions
Smear job against Romney on Bain?
If he committed a felony, that cannot be good for his campaign.
More seriously, there appears to be a narrative developing here - that Romney plays fast and loose with his financial records - that could turn out to be quite damaging in the long term. He already has the policy (read: Romney Care) flip-flops to deal with, and the more people begin to believe that this type of behavior is also reflected in how he deals with his finances, employment, etc., the more difficult it is going to get for him to get the attention away from the character of the candidates and back onto the referendum on the Obama presidency that he clearly wants.See more
President Obama's tax cut strategy a winner?
Substantial majorities of Americans are in favor of raising taxes on the rich to deal with the deficit. So if the president can get the Republicans to refuse to pass a tax cut for those making under $250,000/year because it does not also cut taxes on those making over $250,000 (approximately 2% of households, as of 2008, then that should be very attractive politically. That being said, I think the Republicans have grown very adept in past years in defending exactly these sorts of moves - look for the phrase "job creators" to be used instead of "wealthiest 2% of American households" - so it will be interesting to see if the president and his advisors are better prepared to attack the inevitable Republican line of defense. So perhaps the key word here is *should* - it *should* be a good move politically, but let's see if the Democrats can make it stick.See more
Does SCOTUS ruling seal Obama's victory?
This is a huge victory for Obama. There is no way to spin the fact that having your signature policy achievement overturned would be a good thing.
That being said, it will probably have a minimal effect on the election. Losing might have helped contribute to the image of Obama as an ineffective, but that sort of evaluation was probably only going to have a minimal effect on voting throughout the electorate at best. The "Republican base is going to be fired up" effect will probably be countered by not having to deal with the "Democratic base worried Obama hasn't accomplished anything" concern, or even the "Democratic base needs to defend ACA" effect. Bottom line: a minor improvement for Obama in 2012, but certainly better than losing.See more

Media in the tank for Obama?
Actually, the data says otherwise. My colleague at The Monkey Cage John Sides posted on exactly this topic last week using data collected by The Project for Excellence in Journalism. His conclusions: at "every point in the past 10 months, Obama has received more negative coverage than positive coverage. The tone of Romney coverage has shifted depending on primary campaign events, but, as of the end of April, positive coverage still outweighed negative coverage. At that point, Romney received about as much positive coverage as Obama received negative coverage."
Another good point was raised by Monkey Cage reader Adam Schiffer, who commented that "Politico's query is premature. Ascertaining bias with respect to the two major-party nominees is neither useful nor practical until the general election is fully underway. When only one party has a nomination contest, the underlying political reality is imbalanced, thus rendering "balance" a useless baseline for measuring media slant."See more

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Such megamoodiness would be unbearable without a sense of the absurd. So be thankful collaborator Jon Brion produces and orchestrates When the Pawn . . . with a retrofuturist wit that tickles the singer's urbane candor. Brion-responsible for much of the instrumental character of debuts by Rufus Wainwright and Macy Gray as well as Apple-references dry Beatle sonics while summoning electronica's otherworldliness and hip-hop's street savvy. With its verse, chorus, and bridge sporting unrelated rhythms, "Fast as You Can" rivals recent Destiny's Child and Jordan Knight hits for disjointed weirdness. Here and elsewhere, Apple approaches Amos levels of keyboard mischief, and her self-deprecation is as sharp as her amorous attack. "I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up," she bebops with newly improved intonation on "Paper Bag." The whimsy peaks on "A Mistake," where our heroine escapes the weight of mature expectations with intentional errors. "If you wanna make sense, whatcha looking at me for?" she queries. "I'm no good at math." Doh!
Fiona Apple
When the Pawn...
Clean Slate/Work
It isn't fair to compare Apple's benchmark with Amos's stopgap. When the Pawn . . . capitalizes on its uneven predecessor's strengths, whereas To Venus and Back summarizes the past while adding a tossed-off present. Amos's reliably wayward discs always get better with age, whereas Apple is still refining herself, her album instantly engaging. Both clit-poppers inhabit islands of mindful, willful adulthood in a fake adolescent sea. Those shallow waters are OK to visit, but here is where I'd rather live, cuz sometimes the world is a piece of shit.

Chilla Puri
20 Oct 2009
Chilla Puries are my favorite loose batter dishes. You don't need to make solid doughs like for other Indian breads. You just need to make a batter and spread it on a griddle in a round disc. Quite an interesting job that is ! Try these Chilla Puries yourself and let me know if you like them !
|White flour
|4 Tablespoon
|To Taste
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|1 Teaspoon
Put the salt and the flour in a bowl.
Mix, adding the water slowly till you get a very thick batter.
Heat a griddle on a moderate fire, put one teaspoon of ghee on it and pour some batter over it slowly with a spoon.
Keep spreading it with the back of a spoon.
When pouring the batter, commence at the centre and keep filling the circumference slowly till it assumes the size of a round puri.
Then turn and fry the other side.
These puns can be made thin or thick.
If the batter is poured in a continuous line the puri will become thin, otherwise it will be thick.
In Sind, this puri used to be made of red rice flour instead of wheat flour.

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. / Godzilla: Final Wars Blu-ray Review
Changes of pace.
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, May 6, 2014
'Godzilla' mania! Sony has made available eight 'Godzilla' films in four separate two-pack Blu-ray releases, no doubt hoping to capitalize on the imminent release, and heightened public awareness, of the new 'Godzilla' film. This set contains 'Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.' and 'Godzilla: Final Wars.' Individual reviews, and additional screenshots, can be found here and here.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
Score: 3.0/5.0
Honestly, the Godzilla series has never really been about all that much more than rough-and-tumble monsters duking it out in and around Japan (well, discounting the Western film's geography, anyway). Yet there's always been at least some feeling, some purpose, some tangible side element meant to frame the action and provide, at the very least, a modicum of context beyond the monster chaos. Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S., on the other hand, almost completely disregards story and structure, characterization and emotion in favor of mindless mayhem with only the most basic story-advancing plot elements to allow for some "logical" progression towards the end battle. The movie is very much a Western-inspired one, in that regard, favoring big action and speed rather than depth and meaning. Of course, some viewers might find that a positive, and that's a justifiable position to take given that Godzilla is a series with its roots in the fantastical. Still, the best films in the series, subjectively speaking, blend punches and purpose with, if not grace, at the very least some sort of dramatic context to keep the audience interested and engaged beyond what amounts to rather repetitive monster battles.
Godzilla is rising from the ocean floor. Mechagodzilla is undergoing repair and getting an upgrade. Two Japanese fighter jets engage Mothra. It appears another showdown is about to commence between three of the most powerful entities in the world. Yoshi (Noboru Kaneko) is into fighter planes and technology. His uncle Dr. Shin'ichi Chûjô (Hiroshi Koizumi) holds in his possession the secret to contacting Mothra. He and his grandson Shun (Kenta Suga) are soon greeted by The Shobijin (The Cosmos) who come with a dire warning: return Godzilla's "bones" to the sea and rely on Mothra for protection alone. What comes next could have consequences well beyond the immediate for Godzilla, Mothra, and all of Japan's inhabitants.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. is all about size. A large scope, huge action, and sweeping generalizations rule the day. The movie is big, fairly dumb, and relentless. The picture is made up of almost nothing more than monster battles and a few minutes of context for bringing the monsters together, namely the return of Mothra and the repair of Mechagodzilla. The dramatic angles are negligible, conveying little feeling on the way to the various confrontations that dominate the film's runtime. The final battle is particularly long and detailed, no doubt an Action fan's delight but still lacking anything to truly separate it from the literally dozens of other films in the series that culminate in a similar affair. What exists beyond the action feels cliché and built on forced emotions rather than tangible contextual elements. The human characters are particularly shallow, most of them one-track-mind sorts who serve only to advance the plot to the next battle rather than inject it with relatable feeling.
Action specifics offer nothing particularly unique. The monsters look terribly fake in the film, particularly Mothra, who looks like little more than a flying shag carpet. On the plus side, miniatures are a touch more detailed and realistic than the abysmal models seen in Godzilla vs. Megaguirus. The basic monster movements, maneuvers, and mechanics all operate as expected, as do most of the various battle techniques, from Godzilla's atomic breath beam to the larvae's spitting web attacks. Technically, the film is rather slick, not polished, certainly, but capable of juggling the fast pace and massive monster battles with commendable attention to detail and flow. Make no mistake, it's all quite exciting on the surface; it's just a question of whether audiences will find the movie satisfying beyond the very base series requirements of monster-on-monster-on-mechamonster mayhem.
Godzilla: Final Wars
Score: 2.0/5.0
Just because it's called Godzilla and features Godzilla doesn't make it Godzilla. Final Wars isn't Godzilla. It's more like The Matrix meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets X-Men meets Independence Day with some notable Godzilla creatures in the middle of it all. No, this movie is more about lasers and precisely crafted fight choreography and high-flying wire acts and over-the-top characters and all sorts of random stuff that ties in Godzilla and franchise mythology but doesn't really honor it. This is moviemaking concerned only with flash and bothered by substance. Audiences that wish to view a movie from which they can completely disengage and, almost literally, leave the brain at the door might find value here, but anyone expecting classic Godzilla should run far, far away.
If some good has come of the monstrous rampages, it's that man has banded together to stop them. No longer does man fight amongst himself but rather alongside those from other corners of the globe, all under the umbrella of the "Earth Defense Force," in the unending effort to stop monsters once and for all. Mutants with great powers have been folded into the Earth Defense Force under the title of "M Organization." When monsters dating back millennia are uncovered, monsters rise up all over the world. Almost simultaneously, Earth is visited by extraterrestrials and the monster attacks cease. However, not all humans are certain of the validity of the aliens' peaceful overtures. When the aliens' true plans for humankind are revealed, man has no choice but to turn to Godzilla to save the planet.
Godzilla: Final Wars sees the final evolution away from the more classic lines and refined styles of the Heisei series and toward the new blooded, high powered, reckless, and relentless Millennium Series. The film takes the radically different tone found in both Godzilla vs. Megaguirus and Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. and further reshapes the series into something that's practically unrecognizable when compared to classic franchise stylings. It's a celluloid smorgasbord if there ever was such a thing, a veritable hodgepodge of stuff that's all thrown together under an admittedly interesting but obviously forced narrative umbrella about aliens and monsters and mutants and the battle for control of the planet. It's just too much, to spread out, too chaotic. Perhaps it would have worked better under a different name, with different monsters, with different expectations, with different pacing, with different characters, with different everything. There's a fun movie in here somewhere but it's not this movie, not this one that doesn't hurt for energy but lacks the balance necessary to keep the audience from going into its own nuclear meltdown that's a result of an excess of cinema bedlam.
All of that said, the movie's core action elements can be a blast when taken at face value and in a vacuum, not as part of the larger Godzilla universe. The monsters admittedly look fantastic, nicely detailed and menacing, if not a bit rubbery and fake even at the macro level. The monsters move very fast and with an obvious flow and feel to them, organically battling rather than waddling about as seen in previous films. This results in battles that feel far more organic and destructive both to the monsters and to the environments in which they fight. The scale feels large and the tension remains thick. The human-focused scenes are another story. The film's acting ranges from passable to laughable. The characters are neither inwardly nor outwardly complex, most of them just pieces within a greater whole, some necessary, some not. The human versus human action emphasizes movement and a wannabe "cool" factor over more story-based action scenes. In short, the film is a great success in creating visual havoc but not much of a success in providing the audience a reason to care.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. / Godzilla: Final Wars Blu-ray, Video Quality
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
Score: 3.0/5.0
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. arrives on Blu-ray with a fair but somewhat flat 1080p transfer. It's a touch soft throughout and finds only moderately well defined details across the board. Don't expect much in the way of precision intricacy and lifelike accuracy from clothes, skin, furniture, or creatures. Mothra's fur coating, for example, doesn't reveal its details at the micro level but shows just enough in broader shots to get a good feel for its coating. Likewise, the Godzilla and Mechagodzilla suits don't show off much in the way of fine close-up textures. Colors are a little drab but serviceable, from brighter clothes to Mechagodzilla's yellow eyes. Skin textures appear mostly natural. Black crush is evident in places, as is some ringing, and minor title wobble is apparent. The picture's grain structure is rather flat. This is easily amongst the least attractive of the Sony Godzilla releases.
Godzilla: Final Wars
Score: 3.0/5.0
Godzilla: Final Wars' 1080p transfer satisfies on a very general level but never really escapes the doldrums of high definition mediocrity. In general, the image offers serviceable details, revealing basic definition on clothes and faces. Monster textures are fair, showing decent attention to detail in up-close shots but failing to find the precision, nuanced textures associated with the best transfers. Light grain is present, and the image does take on a fair film-like appearance, but at the same time it's terribly flat and even a bit soft. Colors never really impress. The film takes on heavy tints at times, from pale green to cool blue, but offers a decent array of hues that never pop or stand apart but that provide a colorful basic context for environments and objects. Very light banding and compression artifacts are visible from time to time. This is by no means a showstopper, but it's a watchable image that's not too far removed in terms of quality from the other classic Sony Godzilla releases.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. / Godzilla: Final Wars Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
Score: 4.0/5.0
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. explodes onto Blu-ray with an aggressive Japanese DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack. It plays in a big stage, offering quality spacing and engaging surround support. Musical clarity ranks highly throughout the range, and the low end adds some defining heft. Action sound effects rule the day and dominate the track. Fighter jets zoom around, explosions hit hard, and crashes are felt and not simply heard. It's potent and big almost to the point of over-engineering, but it makes for a fun soundtrack that's the perfect compliment to the movie's equally big action pieces. Dialogue plays naturally and smoothly from the center. The English dub, also presented in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, doesn't fall too far behind. While there's a touch more clarity and definition to the Japanese track's music and effects, this one proves just as potent and aggressive. Dialogue is also rather clean and well-defined. Listeners who wish to forego the original track won't feel left out of the fun with the English option. Audiences who choose the Japanese track may select between optional English, English SDH, and French subtitle options, should they be necessary.
Godzilla: Final Wars
Score: 4.5/5.0
Godzilla: Final Wars features an aggressive and satisfying DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 Japanese language lossless soundtrack. This is easily the most dynamic and exciting of the Sony double-feature bunch, providing plenty of ear candy through explosive, dynamic sounds and constant surround support. Music plays big and aggressive but doesn't sacrifice clarity along the way. Godzilla screeches and other monster sound effects are full and loud. Collapsing structures, cracking ice, and other heavy sound effects play deeply and loudly but also accurately, never coming across as an undefined wall of sound but rather precise, seemingly lifelike elements. Laser blasts and aerial battles enjoy a heavy crisscrossing effect that sends sounds all over the stage, out of one speaker and into another, effectively placing the listener in the middle of the mayhem. Dialogue plays firmly and clearly from the center. This disc also offers the best English dub of the eight classic Godzilla films Sony has released. The differences between it and its Japanese counterpart are minimal, from music to dialogue, from spacing to bass. Fans who wish to enjoy the film in English are in for a treat. For those who wish to stick with the original, Sony has included optional English, English SDH, and French subtitles, should they be necessary.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. / Godzilla: Final Wars Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
Score: 1.0/5.0
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. contains a making-of feature and a trailer.
Godzilla: Final Wars
Score: 1.0/5.0
Godzilla: Final Wars contains a featurette, several teasers, and a theatrical trailer.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. / Godzilla: Final Wars Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
One would expect the best two technical presentations of the entire Godzilla series considering they're the newest of the bunch. While the audio is terrific, both titles feature rather drab and flat video efforts. Supplements are limited to trailers and two brief "making of" extras. Rent it.

Early life[edit]
Barrow was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1952 and grew up in a part of town there called Alamo Heights. His father played piano and organ, as had his father, Arthur Barrow of Buffalo, New York, a strict piano teacher and organist. When he was 13, he washed neighborhood cars until he had saved enough money to buy his first electric guitar (an Alamo) and his first amplifier (a Kent). He learned how to play music by ear by copying surf guitar records like The Ventures, and later, Jimi Hendrix, and still later, Frank Zappa. He played in local bands through junior high and high school during the 1960s. He began to study classical organ in 1970.
While attending Alamo Heights High School, Arthur Barrow cut his musical teeth playing Lead Guitar with a rock band known as Wisdom, playing fraternity parties, high school dances, and small concerts in the San Antonio area. His fellow band members (Ian "Toby" French (singer), Raymond Tolbert (bass), Alfred Toerney (keyboards), and others) knew that Arthur was "marked for greatness" due to his outstanding talent and ability to quickly pick up songlines (source?).
He attended North Texas State University (now University of North Texas) in Denton, Texas from 1971 to 1975 where he studied composition and organ. He began teaching himself bass guitar in 1974 while at school there. He spent many hours in the electronic music labs learning about analog synthesis on the Moog modular systems there. He graduated cum laude, receiving a bachelor of music degree with a major in composition, specializing in electronic music.
Professional career[edit]
In 1975 he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a professional music career, with one of his main goals being to play in Frank Zappa's band. He took whatever kind of musical work he could get - night clubs, weddings, high school dances, a few sessions. He met Robby Krieger in 1976 and recorded synthesizer with The Doors on an album called American Prayer. He formed a jazz group with Bruce Fowler and Don Preston called Loose Connection in the latter 1970s. They made some recordings in Echo Park and performed a few times in Los Angeles. They did some recordings in Hollywood with Vinnie Colaiuta in December 1978.
In the summer of 1978, he passed the audition and began playing bass in Frank Zappa's band. In 1979, he also took on the duties of being the "clonemeister", or band rehearsal director.[1] The band rehearsed for 8 to 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. He would run the rehearsals for the first half of the day, then Zappa would take over when he arrived. He did 4 tours with Zappa and can be heard playing bass, guitar and keyboards on about a dozen recorded albums.
In the early 1980s he co-wrote music, recorded and toured the U.S. with Robby Krieger. They had a live band then for a short time called Red Shift that did only a few recordings and gigs in the LA area. By this time, having a 1/2" 8 track tape recorder, an electric piano and some synthesizer gear, he focused a lot of attention to writing and recording music at home.
He began working with Giorgio Moroder in the mid-1980s on albums and film sound tracks, including Scarface and Top Gun. He did keyboards, programming, bass, and arranging for a wide range of artists including Joe Cocker, Diana Ross, Billy Idol, Berlin, The Motels, and others.
He opened his own Lotek recording studio in the Mar Vista district of Los Angeles in 1985. Through the latter 1980s and into the 1990s he has produced albums and composed sound tracks for films and television at his studio. He has composed and produced three solo CDs and he is currently working on a fourth CD as well as other projects, like the Strange News From Mars - feat. Tommy Mars and Jon Larsen, and The Mar Vista Philharmonic, featuring Tommy Mars, Bruce Fowler, Vinnie Colaiuta, and other Frank Zappa alumni, on the Zonic Entertainment label.

Background/Aims: Asian Americans have been underrepresented in cancer research. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a multiple arm recruitment approach in improving Asian recruitment into the Cancer Genetics Network (CGN). Methods: 1,096 potential participants, identified through cancer registries located at University of California, Irvine (UCI) and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC), were randomly assigned to receive one of four recruitment approaches. Results: A 6.2% gain in Asian participation into the CGN was achieved over a 2-year period at FHCRC and UCI, which contributed a 2% CGN-wide increase in overall Asian enrollment. Site-specific differences in recruitment success by study arm were observed. Conclusion: Novel recruitment approaches can assist in improving recruitment of Asian populations into cancer genetic research studies.

This TV vet makes wildlife come alive for the average Pinoy
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
I'm sitting at a coffee shop table with Dr. Nielsen Donato, renowned veterinarian and, for the past year-and-a-half, co-host (with fellow vet Dr. Ferds Recio) of the environmental show "Born To Be Wild," which airs Wednesday nights at 11:30 on GMA 7 (with a spin-off, "Born Impact," Sundays at 9:30 p.m.). And his phone won't stop ringing.
In recent months, the show, with its dramatic footage and Nat Geo-esque feel, has developed a cult following, thanks in large part to the two able and good-looking hosts who think nothing of handling snakes, swimming with sharks and wrestling crocodiles.
Since I've known the 45-year-old Nielsen (full disclosure: He successfully fixed my late dog Banana's luxating kneecap years ago), I know he has, indeed, wrestled crocs, come within chomping distance of a Komodo dragon, and almost gotten mauled by a tiger.
Today, though, he's on his phone, excited, because he's set to do dental work—on a hamster. "Of course I still love doing stuff like this," he exclaims.
Although he's out shooting in the field about a week every month, Nielsen says, "I'd like to correct the idea some people have that I don't practice anymore. I still enjoy being a vet to companion animals like dogs and cats."
Our interview is interrupted half a dozen times by calls he must take, dealing with veterinary cases from the aforementioned hamster to dog surgery.
"It's amazing how the Filipino pet owner has changed. In the case of the hamster, they would pay P250 for the animal, but wouldn't think twice of paying P2,500 for a medical procedure. Before, they would just replace the animal."
Supportive family
With Vets in Practice (VIP), the successful animal hospital chain Nielsen co-owns with partners doctors Nick and Marga Carpio and Dr. Mike Velhagen, opening its fifth branch soon, Nielsen is finally able to indulge his passion for wildlife advocacy through the show.
"Good thing my partners allowed me, and my family has been so supportive," he says.
Family is wife Carol and children Cedric, 18, and a college freshman, and Nina, 9, in third grade. In fact, Nielsen recounts, during a recent episode filmed in South Cotabato to search for a local creature known among the B'laan tribe as "mal"—and which turned out to be none other than a tarsier, originally thought to be endemic only to Bohol and Samar—he also managed to save a trapped civet cat, thanks to a survival kit packed for him by Carol and Nina.
"On social networks, you'd be surprised how many people react to an animal rescue story. There's really so much more awareness now," he notes.
The truth is, Nielsen, long a favorite of TV shows as a guest expert on both domestic and exotic animals, was invited to host "Born" when the show started five years ago. He had to decline at the time, as VIP was still growing.
"I felt bad that I had to say no, though, because this was something I've always wanted to do."
As part of a group called the Feather Friends Foundation, Nielsen, who has a soft spot for birds, would use his own money on community outreach programs. He also opened the Laguna Wildlife Park and Rescue Center on family property in Pansol, where he keeps dozens of rescued animals.
Being a vet, he says, is an advantage when hosting, "because we can do what needs to be done on site"—an ace on a show that's unscripted and full of surprises, like when he was searching for Bryde's whales in Pamilacan, Bohol, and was treated to the magnificent spectacle of a blue whale fluking, or showing its tail for the camera to capture.
"In the first few years of 'Born,' they were always featuring animals in zoos and cages. Now, mas magastos, because we're shooting animals in the wild. You can't call ahead and book them, or say 'Hoy, hulihin n'yo!' The show had its growing pains, when it suffered criticism from the scientific community, but now our researchers really work hard and are well aware of the ethics."
To guard against wildlife poachers, the show never reveals the exact location of a shoot, unless, like in the case of the mal, the community itself asks for exposure to develop local ecotourism.
To be sure, Nielsen had to work at being a good host—including joining a hosting workshop.
"Dati, all I could say was,'' 'Amazing!'" he says with a chuckle. "Now, I always have to ask, what does this information mean to the average Filipino? I can't just say me, me, me all the time. Like when we featured the water snakes of Taal—ano ngayon? We have to connect people to wildlife, like explaining that water snakes help fertilize the soil at the bottom of a lake, for example, so there is good vegetation for fish."
Fortunately, the worst mishap he was ever in was during one of the show's regular free clinics, this time in Laguna, when he fell off a horse while chasing after a runaway carabao. He cut his hand badly on a sharp piece of wood, and had to keep talking on cam even as they stitched him up.
Wildlife issues
Nielsen knows where he stands on several wildlife issues.
"I think the trend is starting to change," he says of zoos and theme parks. "Their front is education, but I think that only sends the wrong signal. It makes people think, 'I want to have that, an elephant in my backyard.' We grew up in that kind of environment; I also collected wildlife once. It was going out into the wild that changed my view—mahirap, papawisan ka, uulanan ka, but when you find it, it's all worth it. The same goes for these trained marine animals. Nandiyan na 'yan, it will be difficult to release them because they will be disadvantaged, but sana hindi na madagdagan."
On the embattled Mali, the aging elephant in Manila Zoo that many animal welfare groups are lobbying to transfer to a sanctuary, Nielsen says, "If there was only a safe way to bring her back, I would go for that. Don't you want her to feel the grass under her feet, or be with a herd? But only if all the parties involved won't blame each other if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, that 'safe' way is very tricky.
"I've done just one story on Chiang Mai elephants, and they were trained by mahouts, in a very cruel way. Mali is raw; can anybody touch her cuticles, for example? I don't know how much time you will need to train her without hurting her. How will you get her into a trailer? You need to sedate her, and only an experienced pachyderm vet can do that. I'm used to old dogs, hindi ko aatrasan ang 16-year-old na aso, but in this case, sino ang mananagot? Maybe that's the reason why up to now, no decision has been made."
Then there was Lolong, the record-breaking Agusan crocodile, which he visited.
"When I first learned it had been caught, my mind told me that this croc shouldn't be in captivity," he recalls. "I really wasn't surprised when he died. A wild croc needs so much space."
When the town mayor called to inform Nielsen of Lolong's death and hinted at hunting for the animal's alleged mate, Nielsen suggested that, if they ever found it, they invite researchers to attach a transmitter to the animal and release it, instead of keeping it captive again.
So far, Nielsen describes the adventure of hosting an environmental show as "addicting. There's always something exciting to look forward to."
One of the show's goals, he says, is "to make the ordinary citizen realize that, oops, bawal na 'yan—to educate them and get them concerned. There's still a lack of community involvement, although there's a big improvement now. Before, nobody would say anything if there was poaching or abuse."
What to do this summer, then, when people encounter animals on their trips and outings?
"Enjoy them! Our cameras are so powerful. When we post pictures of animals on social media, we get so many 'likes.' Get your satisfaction from just seeing them. It's so beautiful to see them in the wild."

Warhol, Wizards, and Dolls: Here's the Cool Stuff of the Antiques Roadshow in New York
It was hard to avoid comparing the New York stop of the Antiques Roadshow to a low-key casino without the seedy underbelly. The temperature in the Javits Center on Saturday was meat locker-freezing, Rascal scooters zipped by every few minutes (often with paintings and other wrapped ephemera jammed in to the footholds and baskets), bottled water was $4, and everyone was there with the hope of big money.

Although people's possessions were (theoretically) among their most prized, most packing approaches were decidedly post-collegiate -- beer coolers, dingy towels, and Duane Reade bags seemed to be the vessels of choice for most attendees.
Perhaps the most surprising (and weirdly heartwarming) aspect of the Roadshow taping was that nearly everyone intended to keep his or her items, regardless of the appraisal outcomes. Either people are less dead inside than expected, or shows like Antiques Roadshow have turned us all into hoarders.
Here's a tour of the Roadshow's stop in NYC, which will divided into three episodes during the show's 19th season, which begins January 5. The full Season 19 order will be determined in the fall and posted at pbs.org/antiques or thirteen.org.
Check the show's list of upcoming episodes to see when it will air.

Location: Howell, New Jersey
Antique: Firearms
These antique firearms, belonging to Chris's merchant marine grandfather, were the only ones spotted at the Roadshow. The plastic tags hanging off the guns are trigger locks, a mandatory security precaution applied as part of a rigorous check at the entrance.
Arms and militaria appraiser Christopher Mitchell examining an antique rifle stock that he ultimately valued at up to $10,000. "These guns aren't fireable, they're not practical, they're just collectibles. Technically, in this country, any firearm made before 1898 is just like buying a painting. In New York, Chicago, and a couple of other cities, they try to supersede it. Nobody's gonna hold up the 7-Eleven with a dragoon. I guess you could but you could also do it with an axe."
Location: Connecticut
Antique: 19th century rifle stock
Anticipated value: unknown, paid $50 at a yard sale
Appraised value: up to $10,000
Buddy, a Connecticut gun enthusiast, had an inkling that this gun part was valuable but was stunned by just how much it was worth. Buddy was one of only a handful of attendees in the arms and militaria line and also brought an antique Louis Vuitton gun case (appraised at $400). Let no one accuse Buddy of being a basic bitch.

Yea, I can't edit the original post anymore, but I increased the price to cover the amount of time it has been taking me to deal with shipping (my post office is extremely incompetent). I apologize for any confusion. Current rental terms is as follows:
Yes, the tool is available. PM me for my email to paypal the deposit if you would like to reserve it. I can ship it immediately as long as no one gets to me first.
$260 deposit and I will refund $200 when I receive the tool back with all parts in good working condition. Cost to ship back to me is on you, between $10 and $15 using USPS flat rate. (Closer to $20 if you want insurance).
Item will ship from Ohio.
So if you are looking for total cost, I'd say $75. But of course no guarantees on the cost of your shipping.

Police sort details of fatal crash into restaurant
EL CAJON: Police yesterday continued to investigate a crash that killed a 66-year-old man when a sport utility vehicle slammed into a fast-food restaurant Sunday morning.
The victim has not been identified pending notification of relatives. Employees said the man ate at the same table every morning at the Carl's Jr. at North Second Street and East Madison Avenue.
The driver, who also was not identified, suffered moderate injuries and remains in the hospital, said El Cajon police spokeswoman Monica Zech.
Zech said police investigators will review toxicology tests and other information to try to determine what caused the crash.
Witnesses told police the driver had just used an automated-teller machine at a Union Bank north of the restaurant in the same shopping center before crashing into the eatery.
A man who said he had been in line at the ATM behind the driver told officials that the man appeared to have been frustrated with the machine and left with his card still in the slot.

Holiday visitor, 79, dies after being struck by car
SAN DIEGO: A 79-year-old man who was struck by a car a week ago died Sunday night of his injuries, the County Medical Examiner's Office said yesterday.
He has been identified as Gene Baraff of Berkeley Heights, N.J., who was visiting San Diego with family for the holidays, officials said.
Baraff was with a 75-year-old man who was parking his 2000 Toyota Camry on Sixth Avenue near F Street on Dec. 28 just before noon, San Diego police said.
He had stepped out of the car when the driver started to back up.
The driver told officers he saw Baraff standing behind him and he tried to brake but hit the gas instead and the car lurched backward, police said.
Baraff was knocked to the ground and suffered a severe head injury.
He was hospitalized, but his condition declined and he died just after 10 p.m., officials said.

The accident was reported near Van Houten and Douglas avenues about 9 a.m., El Cajon police Lt. Jeff Arvan said.
The bus was heading west on Douglas Avenue when the car, which was southbound on Van Houten Avenue, halted at the stop sign and then pulled out in front of the bus, Arvan said.

Why Benchmark won't creep into seed stage investing, even if it's the trend
Since a VC is only as good as his deal flow, reputation and branding among entrepreneurs is extremely important to venture investors.
That's why a lot of VCs blog — to build up a brand. Among the most well-known blogging investors is Bill Gurley of Benchmark Capital, who started his blog, "Above the Crowd," 20 years ago as a fax that he spammed to the attendees of a tech conference he went to.
"A VC's biggest concern is that they're going to miss the next Google," Gurley said tonight at PandoMonthly in San Francisco. "So they're constantly marketing to the entrepreneur they haven't met yet."
This is also why venture firms never give a hard "no" to founders — you never know who's the next Mark Zuckerberg, and you gotta keep your options open. For that reason, many later stage VC funds have crept down into the seed stage arena. They can afford to lose money on a "spray and pray" method of investing, so they have the option to invest in the winners once they raise an A round.
The problem with that is that if you don't back your seed stage investments when they raise a Series A or B round, there is a "signaling problem" that makes other VCs wary to invest. That can hurt a company, but it's just as damaging to a VC firm's reputation. And reputation and branding is as fragile as ever with the hyper-transparency of blogs and Twitter.
Benchmark hasn't crept into seed stage investing because of that problem. And because the firm is worried about attaching its brand to so many passive seed investments. "Having passive investments is having your brand walk around without the work that you want to be known for," he said. "It's unscalable and we can only sit on so many boards. We don't want to be involved and not involved."
So Benchmark has stuck to its knitting in later stage deals. The FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out, or in this case, FOMOOTNG — Fear Of Missing Out On The Next Google) is palpable, though. Gurley mentioned the danger of missing the next big thing at least five times throughout the interview. And with the cost of starting a business as low as it's ever been, the pressure for VCs to identify companies early on is even higher. They simply don't need as much money to get started. And still, Benchmark has backed big companies like Twitter and Snapchat earlier than many.
Gurley is comfortable going up the stack and waiting for traction for consumer Internet investments, though. "A lot of the big wins, even if its Facebook and Google, were all funded post-traction. These products have been in the market and were out there competing as opposed to funding two people in a Powerpoint. That created a window for the angel community to come in," he said.
And he's happy to let them own the seed stage.

Investment bank Rothschild has determined that EADS will have to pay €2.75 billion ($3.5 billion) for BAE Systems' 20% stake in Airbus if the UK company sticks to its intention of offloading the holding.
The figure is far less than BAE Systems had wanted and is even at the low end of EADS' initial assessment – made before the further delays to the A380 programme were revealed.
In a statement EADS notes: "Some €1.2 billion of Airbus' cash is currently on loan to BAE Systems which is repayable at closing."
It also says that the EADS board has decided to pay cash for the stake if the transaction goes through – a move that had been widely expected in view of the recent fall in its share price.
BAE Systems did not immediately comment on the development beyond confirming it.

Against the bikes wishes, we made it back into Denver safe and sound.
John had blown a fuse again and pulled through the last day with no lights. His speedo cable had finally given up as well, so I set our pace for the home stretch. Who needs gauges, right? I had blown a cell in the battery just before our last campsite, so the last day of the trip had me humping the kick starter every time we stopped. Note to self: next time practice kickstarting prior to leaving. Let's just say I had to learn that one in the dark on the side of the road with John miles ahead. Awesome.
Behind a random groceria on Federal Blvd we part ways and head home with much anticipation. I think the guys behind the groceria were wondering what we were up to. Two geared out motorcycle guys hugging and taking pictures in the alley. That's right, we're weirdos, now get back to work!
It was an amazing trip that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. It's an incredible (and huge) country that we live in and I feel undeservedly lucky to have experienced the small portion that we did in such a fashion. Two wheels and a long road ahead makes for quite an adventure.
Our greatest thanks to everyone that made this possible, especially our wives and families. Without your support, this never would have happened. It was Ewan and Charley's fault, I swear. I'll do my best to talk less about motorcycles now...although that Moto Guzzi project I have brewing may come up occasionally...
Let's not forget a shout to the nutters around here as well. What little planning we did wouldn't have been possible without advrider. You guys are great for a laugh and the occasional bit of real, actual info (although I maintain that only happens by accident).
Kidding...just kidding...
Hope you enjoyed the report and thanks for reading.
At some point, John and I will post up our impressions of gear and whatnot. If we can pass on some of our meager learnings, we'll do our best!

Long-Term Study and Scientific Review Show Vegan Diets Treat and Prevent Diabetes
Plant-Based Eating Plan Proves Highly Effective in New Studies in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Nutrition Reviews
WASHINGTON—At a time when diabetes drugs such as Avandia are linked to dangerous side effects, a pair of new studies in two major nutrition journals provide powerful evidence that a low-fat vegan diet is a highly effective way to treat and prevent type 2 diabetes.
In a 74-week clinical trial in May's American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, study participants on a low-fat vegan diet showed dramatic improvement in four disease markers: blood sugar control, cholesterol reduction, weight control, and kidney function. The randomized, controlled trial is a milestone in diabetes research because previous studies had collected data for six months or less.
The second paper, a scientific review of observational and interventional studies appearing in May's Nutrition Reviews, shows that vegan and vegetarian diets are consistently associated with lower rates of diabetes, heart disease, and overweight. Both studies are authored by nutrition researcher Neal Barnard, M.D., David J.A. Jenkins, M.D., Ph.D., D.S.c., and other doctors and dietitians with the Washington Center for Clinical Research, the George Washington University, and the University of Toronto.
"A low-fat vegan diet has proved its staying power as one of the most effective long-term treatments for type 2 diabetes," says nutrition researcher Dr. Barnard, president of the Washington Center for Clinical Research. "Study participants on the vegan diet experienced dramatic improvements during the first phase. A year later, blood sugar, cholesterol, and body weight were still at healthier levels. The vegan diet works, and people can stick with it over the long run."
The vegan diet represents a major departure from standard diabetes diets because it places no limits on calories, carbohydrates, or portions. Participants can eat to satiety and still experience weight loss, lower cholesterol, and other benefits. Diabetes rates have climbed rapidly in recent years, and more than 20 million Americans now have the disease, which is linked to kidney failure, blindness, amputations, and cardiovascular disease.
Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research, and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

The 49er12-18-2011, 19:42I have a Springer Mil-Spec and want a nice par of slim grips... who has the best? aluma grips? VZ grips? faawrenchbndr12-18-2011, 19:58I prefer VZ grips for a micarta type material & Esmeralda for wood. Giggity12-18-2011, 21:40I just received a set of Esmeralda cocobolo grips and the craftsmanship on them is beyond anything I have seen before in a wood grip. I like VZ for the G10 type stuff. glock274012-19-2011, 07:54Larry Davidson and VZ get my vote. :cool: vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
