Michael Dell is the founder of the computer company Dell, Inc. He created one of the most profitable computer companies in the world with annual sales of up to $50 billion American dollars. Dell has also become one of
the wealthiest people in the world with a 4th place listing on the Forbes rich Americans list in 2005 with an estimated worth of $18 billion. Michael Saul Dell was born on the 23rd of February, 1965 in Houston to an orthodontist father and
a mother that worked as a money manager. Dell was interested in computers from a very young age and was already pulling them apart at the age of 15. He attended the University of Texas with hopes of becoming a doctor but abandoned studies
to start his own business at just 19 years of age. With just one thousand dollars in his pocket Dell started "PC's Limited" in 1984. From his university dorm room Dell started building and selling personal computers from stock computer
parts. The idea that set the young entrepreneur apart from others was to sell directly to the customer, rather than going through a third party to sell his products. PC's Limited allowed the customer to customize their computer before it
was custom built to their specifications. The prices could also be kept much lower than PC's Limited's competition as they had no stores to maintain or middlemen to pay commissions to. All computers were sold direct to the customer with
the use of order forms, phone orders, and now Internet orders. In 1988 PC's Limited had a name change to "Dell Computer Corporation" and had an initial public offering (IPO) that valued the company at roughly $80 million. By 1992 Dell
Computer Corporation was listed on the Fortune 500 list of the five hundred largest companies in the world, making Michael Dell the youngest ever CEO to head a Fortune 500 company. The company continued to grow and expand dramatically year
after year, eventually selling more c

In November 2008, Julie Froelich believed the Sag Harbor Youth Center would have to close its doors. The Suffolk County Youth Bureau and other local municipalities planned to cut the center's funding for 2009 by 25 to 50 percent, said Froelich, the director of the center. Froelich was sure the decreased funding was an insurmountable obstacle.
 One day, she reflected on the history of the center and realized she wasn't in a position to close it.
 "I thought to myself, 'How can I close this center? This isn't mine to close,'" said Froelich. "The center existed before me. It has to exist after me."
 The Sag Harbor Youth Center officially opened in the 1970s, but Froelich said it has operated on an informal basis since the 1950s. The center has moved around the village throughout the years, and was previously located in the storefront adjacent to the movie theater, the current Provisions building and in the Schiavoni building which was recently demolished as part of the gas ball remediation project on West Water Street.
 In recent years, the center has operated from a small storefront on Division Street just south of the intersection with Bay Street. But Froelich explains that with almost half of the center's budget being used to pay the rent, she knew the center would need to relocate again in order to continue operation.
 So Froelich soon devised a plan to save the center.
 She recalled an article she read on the recently established Chris Grimbol Center for East End Adolescents at the Old Whalers' Church, started by Pastor Bill Grimbol of Shelter Island.
 "We had the kids, but we needed a center — and he already had a center but needed kids to come to it," said Froelich. She approached Grimbol about merging the two centers and he was very receptive to the idea. Rev. Grimbol and Froelich bonded over a shared vision of how their organizations can help struggling teens.
 "I found we had the same basic philosophy of how kids deal with stress and jump through life's hurdles," said Froelich. "There is tremendous competition out there and [teenagers] often struggle to find their niche. Kids will make mistakes … but we hope they can talk to us before they make big decisions."
 "I want to be a person they can come to and feel comfortable talking with," she said.
 Rev. Grimbol and Froelich soon secured a part-time location at the Old Whalers' Church and worked out a schedule. The newly named Chris Grimbol/Sag Harbor Youth center will operate from Friday through Sunday at the church, and Froelich hopes the program will officially commence on April 1. As Froelich and Grimbol ironed out the logistics of the program, they designed a few educational classes for the 10 to 18-years-old who currently frequent the Sag Harbor Youth Center. The classes to be offered include Samaritan Project, which will encourage teens to volunteer at local homeless shelters and soup kitchens, and the Green Project, where teens devise ways to make the village more eco-friendly. Froelich is particularly proud of Project Excel, a program assisting older teens in the pre-college process.
 "We want to walk them through it from start to finish," said Froelich of the class.
 These classes will be offered exclusively on Saturdays. The center will continue to offer a drop-in recreation and activity room, from Friday through Monday, from the church's youth room on the second floor. All of the equipment, including the televisions, video games, pool table and air hockey table, will be moved to this new location.
 On Sundays, Rev. Grimbol will offer his "Dinner Dialogue" series, where high school students can come together to share a meal and listen to a presentation on various issues associated with growing up.
 The merged program is likely to draw a lot of attention from local youths. The Sag Harbor Youth Center currently serves almost 50 to 100 youths a month, and local teenagers have already told Froelich they are more likely to visit the new location because it is conveniently located near the school.

Have Republicans Ever Hated a President More Than Barack Obama?
The widespread belief on the right that Barack Obama is a Muslim is one of the stranger features of this period in history. There are some of them who know that Obama says he's a Christian but are sure that's all an act designed to fool people, while he secretly prays to Allah. But there are probably a greater number who haven't given it all that much thought; they just heard somewhere that he's a Muslim, and it made perfect sense to them—after all, he's kinda foreign, if you know what I mean. Rather remarkably, that belief has grown over time; as the latest poll from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows, fully 30 percent of Republicans, and 34 percent of conservative Republicans, now believe Obama is Muslim. These numbers are about double what they were four years ago.
You can bet there aren't too many who think there's nothing wrong with it if he were. For many of them, it's just a shorthand for Obama being alien and threatening. So it leads me to ask: Can we say, finally, that no Democratic president has ever been hated by Republicans quite as much as Barack Obama?
In the past when this question has been asked, the sensible reply is to not forget history. After all, when Bill Clinton was president, one of the Republican Party's most respected figures distributed videotapes of a documentary alleging that Clinton was the head of a drug ring and had murdered dozens of people. And they did impeach him the first chance they got. Republicans had a visceral hatred for Franklin Roosevelt, too.
But I really think we've reached a new height. What makes this different isn't just the kind of venom you see among the party's true-believing supporters but that the hate goes so far up, all the way to the top. The party's candidate for president literally claims that Obama hates capitalism and is not really American (Mitt Romney recently said, and not for the first time, that Obama has a "very strange, and in some respects foreign to the American experience type of philosophy"). Liberals look at conservatives claiming that Obama is a socialist or that he doesn't really love America and think, "Those people are nuts." But there is practically consensus in the GOP that these things are true. If a Republican candidate came out today and said, "Barack Obama is a good person who loves his country, but I just think he's wrong about policy," that candidate would probably get kicked out of the party.
This antipathy has multiple sources interacting together, so it's overly simplistic to say that it's just because of Obama's race, or it's just because of heightened partisanship. But it's getting harder and harder to claim that there's ever been a Democrat Republicans hated more.

The common thread is not that these presidents were not only Democrats but were black. Clinton was called the first black president. Elanor Roosevelt was the real first black president. And I doubt if anyone was hated more by Republicans than Harry Truman. Of course, he integrated blacks into the armed forces.

Well, they might hate Jesus Christ until they realized there's money to be made there. Conservative Evangelists have known this for years as they roll in the self righteous dough. However they are merely followers of a lesser god, the old god of the old testament is based on the pagan religions of Egypt. The ten commandments are lifted practically word for word from the Egyptian "Book of the Dead." Study the religion of Osiris and you will understand the mythological history of the desert Semetic Tribes originally driven out of Egypt, and their view of the world. These guys mouth that they are "Christian" while spouting the pagan old testament. Christ gave us a New Covenant, while these Pharisees spout blasphemy. Christ's Orthodoxy and message is "Love thy neighbor" and forgiveness, not vanity of censure and overly-vain judgment of others. Or wrongly accusing someone else of blasphemy.

Countries with strong governments have populations which are generally happy and not afraid. Look at countries like those in Scandinavia, the Benelux, Japan, Chile. Countries which take care of their citizens do better than those that don't. For me, America has become a place I will always love but at this point, I don't like it very much. Republicans just aren't warm, loving, caring, supportive people and I am much happier not being around any of them so I stay in Europe.

Has there ever been a crazier bunch of republican? The answer to that is, of course, NO. Conservative hero Ronald Reagan would not been far enough to the right for this bunch. The congress can seem to do anything, has stunningly low approval ratings and the House has been taken over by a cadre of maniacs who seem bent on preventing any remedy for our country's problems. Their presidential candidate is running on lies, distortions and misquotes and is not even liked by his own party. The level of hatred for Obama could be just another symptom in this group of lunatics that cant tell the difference between the truth and a lie, have no compassion or empathy and do not have the sense to recognize contradictions, logic or their own self interest.

Never before in U.S. history has a President had to endure four years of total negativity and depraved smears. Only race can explain the virulence, dishonesty, and illogic of this shameful campaign. In reality it reflects entirely on the source, a faction that perfectly fits the label "redneck." An embarrassment to our nation, naked before the world.
Thu, 2012-08-02 10:22
I seem to recall that Clinton was reviled from the moment he set foot in the Whitehouse. Without Clinton, there's no Rush. And on the other side of the ledger, B*sh was detested the liberals from the moment he was appointed President.
This is the way of American politics in the wake of screed radio and fair and biased (sic) TV news.
Wed, 2012-08-01 02:52
Very strange is the absence of comment on the far more mature, good humored, and better mannered President Obama is as compared with his right wing assailants. He has the bearing and personal dignity we expect in our head of state, chief executive, and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. He is also intelligent, scholarly, and diligent. What more could you ask for in the White House? He represents us impeccably before the world.

It's a sad fact that negative ads and the hatred and fear they engender, often win elections. This hatred of Obama also comes from talk radio which has grown exponentially in influence, especially among Republicans since the late 1980s. If anything is to be hated equally with Obama it's the "mainstream" media which can be persuasively argued is left of center on social issues. When it comes justifications for war, economic and taxation issues, not so much. They, unlike the right, are too afraid to appear "unfair" in their treatment of these issues, despite strong evidence one way or another. The right comes to its conclusions on these issues then cherry picks their facts. With campaign contributions now virtually unlimited and disclosure not required the influence of hatred is only limited by the willingness to spend.
Thu, 2012-08-02 18:05
Pretty soon the Republican "hate" of Obama will equal the Democrats "hate" of George W. Bush. I think it only about 70% of that value now but should climb as Obama continues to put people out of work and looks down his Elite nose while belittling small-town Americans for being bitter and turning to God, guns and anti-immigrant sentiment to make themselves feel better.
It is clear that he truly belives he is better than others. If you want to know why he believes this I challenge you to view "What You Are Is Where You Were When" (Dr. Morris Massey) to see the impact of Obama's broken childhood on his current beliefs and actions.

Let's see ... FDR, JFK, LBJ, Carter, Clinton ... they've hated every one of them except for (perhaps) Truman and have made outrageous charges against all of them: Remember Clinton's impeachment, the economic mess Nixon left behind from Vietnam and the noose they hung around Carter because of it, the uproar over Johnson's civil rights legislation that the South *still* hasn't gotten over, the accusations that Kennedy was soft on communism for not bombing Cuba during the CMC and the abuse heaped upon Roosevelt for not only Social Security but the depression he inherited?
Hate & fear mongerism is pretty much what they do. The problem is not the Republicans, though, because dogs bark, cats scratch, birds sing and Republicans hate. The problem is that the Democrats roll over and hide behind the nearest rock whenever Republicans come near. Candidate Obama promised that he wouldn't. President Obama, unfortunately, has not lived up to that promise.
Roosevelt outplayed them, Kennedy circumvented them, Johnson overpowered them (at least in the beginning) and Clinton survived them. Obama? He's not nearly the politician that the others were.

What an echo chamber!!
Gee, with GW, we saw BusHitler signage
With Obama, we see tri-corn hats?
Bush had a $4.9 Trillion deficit over 8 years (most accrued in the last 2 with a Dem Congress_, and that was irresponsible
Obama runs a $6 Trillion deficit, in 3 1/2 years (plus $2.3 Trillion in Quantitative Easing), and that is REsponsible?
Bush credited others for successes, and accepted blame for failures
Obama claims the successes of others, and shifts the blame for his failures?
Bush had an unemployment average of 5.27% and that was bad
Obama averages 8.3% unemployment (plus another 6 - 8% who've dropped from the workforce), and that is good?
Bush fought off TWO recessions, due to Dem policies, and he is incompetent
Obama plays golf for 3 1/2 years, and he is golden?
Bush allows enhanced interrogation techniques (nose drops, embarrassment, and puppies) on those who've sworn an enmity to our existence, and he's "torn up the Constitution"
Obama fails to enforce, by EO, the laws of this nation, frees illegal invaders, thumbs his nose at Allies, and tries to cozy up to avowed enemies, and this is viewed as a positive?
The only hate involved here is what Obama is doing to the Country
The only racism is those that use race as an excuse for gross incompetence
The only ideology is the equalization of misery

The whole "Muslim" thing, as well as any slurs of "foreignness" or "non/un/anti-American-ness" is code, plain and simple. It's a word that signals that Barack Obama is not like "us." Once one recognizes that, it becomes clear that it is a way of saying "N"<?i> without using the word. That dog whistle is heard clearly in certain quarters (i.e., the old Confederacy), and folks start salivating like Pavlov's hounds. It's the Southern Strategy on steroids.

"Have Republicans Ever Hated a President More Than Barack Obama?"
Yes. The hatred towards Obamanation doesn't hold a candle to the hatred of Lincoln. Lincoln was hated by both the north and the south, republicans and democrats, liberals and conservatives. He is, in fact, the most vilified president of all time.
And you're thinking, no, not Lincoln, everyone loves Lincoln. It took the Republican party 30 to 40 years and a constant barrage of lies and propaganda to turn the tide of hatred that the American people had for Lincoln.
If, when you hear Lincoln, you immediately think, Honest Abe, then you've bought the lie.
No, I'm not a Republican. No, I'm not a Democrat. I'm a Libertarian. From the Libertarian perspective it's truly humorous to watch the squabbling between Democrats and Republicans, who, in the end, both want the same thing -- control. Republicans want to control people; Democrats want to control corporations. Libertarians don't want to control anyone.
Choosing between Republicans with tendency towards fascism and Republicans with their tendency towards communism is like choosing between cherry- and lime-flavored cyanide.

I do not have a problem with them hating the President as much as they do. It is no mystery what is behind that hate -people try to cloak it and say it has nothing to do with his race but if you just add up all of the disrespectful things they have done and said over the course of his terms -like I said-it is clear. What I DO have a problem with is the Republicans blatant disrespect for the office of the President! Mitch McConnell said it plain and clear the night he won his first term, "We will NOT work with him...We are going to make sure he is a one-term President. Then during his State of the Union address to the American people one congressman shouted out "You Lie"! No these guys have hate in their heart and the amazing thing is they have NO ideas for moving the country forward!

Whether you call it large, venti, grande, or grand, the 20 oz. cup is the new standard in beverage service. Hot or cold 20 oz. cups can be used to serve water or fountain drinks, or coffee and tea. The 20 oz. in cups size increases the perceived value of the beverage purchase and is large enough that customers are more likely to be full and not get refills. Since there are 2.5 cups in 20 oz. and 2 cups in a 16 oz. cup you only lose an additional half cup of product when you serve a customer the larger, more appealing 20 oz. cup.

I find it awesome that menjivar has fought gsp. Kind of like gsp fighting Jon jones.
Goldberg Just said that Rousey versus Tate is the best new rivalry in sports... Said no one that is not on Fox ever
Rogan's bias glaring pretty brightly for Menjivar right now.
Should be good fight. Like ricci but picking jury.
Everytime I hear the ZUFFA hyperbole machine call Jones the "best pound for pound fighter in the world", "most dominant" and things of that ilk, I always get the impression that GSP has told ZUFFA he's only fighting a couple more times and they're simply investing in the future.
Don't get me wrong, Jones' run has been extremely impressive, but GSP has barely lost a round since the Serra upset, 8 title defences and has dominated since 2007 against the top flight WWs, most of which could very well been champions if not for Georges....it always sticks in my craw.
Ricci did absolutely nothing to win this fight IMO.
How the everloving hell did Ricci get 2 rounds? I can see him maybe getting the first, but he did nothing be get grapplefucked in the second and third.
Bad fight to end a good undercard.
Would love to put a hundred on underdogs mitrione and Gus. Gus cuz u win a lot of strap if jones snaps a toe and Matt cuz I think he wins.
Did everyone quit the forum. Figured more people would be watching this one.

Pinning the term "sleeper" to a Corvette feels rather non sequitur, butwhen a once demur '61 roadster roars by you with all the rumble and roarof a tuned, fuel-injection modern powerplant, you'll think twice. A"sleeper," as defined by any car guy, is a stock-appearing, unpresumingvehicle brandishing significant power and punch without revealing itssecret until it's too late for the competition. Chevrolet was at theforefront of the "factory sleeper" trend as far back as the late '50swith the advent of the Fuelie 283 Corvettes and the "Black Widow" '57Chevy--a stripped-down '57 with the aforementioned injected 283, customram-air induction, and tall-geared posi-traction.
While Al Kapnick's red-and-white drop-top may not be as inconspicuous asa zero-frills, 409-powered Impala, this Corvette totes a couple oftricks beneath its curvaceous fiberglass skin. Al's fascination with the'61's styling came after a series of C3s: his first, a '75 he picked upin 1979; his second, a '77; and, ultimately, an '80. All weresingle-owner vehicles before Al took over the titles, and all "gateway"Corvettes into his final obsession--this '61. Lured in by the classicside coves of the late '50s and the addition of the quad taillampstyling that would survive even until today (the first year for the fourbacklights), it was love at first sight.
This '61 began life with a dual-carbureted 283 mounted to a nondescriptfour-speed transmission. While the combination in 1961 was impressive,especially given the roadster's power-to-weight ratio, by later thatdecade, the 283 would seem anemic compared to the rocketing horsepowernumbers the Corvette and its GM brethren would boast. By the time Al'ssearch for this Vette came to a close in 1997, the 283 was long gone,replaced by a worn and weary 350.
The fourth owner explained to Al the car had a repaint andquasi-restoration 10 years earlier and only required a light buffing anda reinstallation of the original emblems to bring the decade-longcosmetic restoration to a close.

New Wave Chardonnay
The Pro: Todd Steele
At his Pearl District restaurant Metrovino, this seasoned wine pro harnesses the techy side of the grape with Enomatic wine preservation machines to offer more than 90 choices by the glass [Editor's note: Metrovino closed in September 2013]. Here, Steele reveals the best of Oregon's gold—modern chardonnays that prove the grape has a home forever in our state's barrel room.
1. Bergström wines
2011 Chardonnay Sigrid • Willamette Valley • $80
Josh Bergström is one of the winemakers leading the charge of the next generation of Oregon chardonnay. The Sigrid, named after Bergström's grandmother, is the winery's flagship chardonnay, layered with notes of orange blossom, ginger, lemon curd, buttered corn, and baking spices with a silky, rich palate that's cut with an edge of lemon, tangerine, and lime.
2. Black Cap wines
2009 Chardonnay • Dundee Hills • $60
Sourced exclusively from David Lett's pioneering 1966 plantings of chardonnay, this microproduction wine from Jason Lett's second label oozes old-vine sophistication and modern class. Elegant, focused, and able to age well into the next decade, this stunner should be saved for a special occasion worth savoring.
3. Antica Terra
2011 Chardonnay • Aurata • Willamette Valley • $75
Vibrant, clean, and invigorating, this racy bottle shatters expectations. Winemaker Maggie Harrison's signature style is on display in this bottle that balances crisp apple and bright lemon aromas with creamy weight, minerality, and a bit of spice.
4. Brick House Vineyards
2011 Chardonnay • Cascadia • Ribbon Ridge • $36
Brick House's Doug Tunnell is helping to redefine the varietal by artfully cultivating vibrant acidity and satisfying, creamy weight from biodynamically grown Dijon clone fruit. Bursts of lime, melon, and pears dance in a glass of this elegant, age-worthy golden beauty.
5. Evening Land Vineyards
2010 Chardonnay • Summum • Eola-Amity Hills • $90
Evening Land winemaker Isabelle Meunier's Burgundian-style chardonnay employs native fermentation, gentle whole-cluster pressing, and close to a year in 27 percent–new oak barrels. The result is bright aromas of orange blossom, wet stone, tropical fruit, and flint.
Breathtaking Bubbles
The Pro: David Speer
Portland's sole sparkling-wine sommelier opened Ambonnay—the first Champagne bar in the Northwest—in 2011, a jewel box of a space with a growing cult following. Speer also serves as an educator at his Red Slate Wine Company, so we called upon his expertise to spotlight five effervescent favorites worth relishing.
1. Soter Vineyards
2009 Brut Rosé • Mineral Springs Ranch • Yamhill-Carlton • $65
Modeled on Champagne, this wine has become an ambassador of the potential for top-shelf sparkling wine in Oregon. With bright acidity, and notes of rhubarb, strawberries, apple blossoms, and dark-cherry skins, this is the bottle for your celebratory sipping.
2. Argyle Winery
2009 Blanc de Blancs • Dundee Hills • $50
Often overlooked in favor of Argyle's better-known sparklers, this crisp and delicious wine dances on the palate with plenty of green apple, lemon, and mineral tones. Trust the pioneers of Oregon bubbles to get it right—the Dundee-based winery has been producing world-class sparkling wine since 1987.
3. J. Albin Winery
2007 Brut Rosé • Willamette Valley • $30
Using fruit from the Chehalem Mountains vineyard he planted in 1981, John Albin's rosé offers flavors of strawberries and cherries balanced by grounding minerality. Bring this one to the Thanksgiving table for holiday pairing success.
4. King Estate
2008 Blanc de Gris • Willamette Valley • $35
Pure pinot gris sparklers are a rare breed—but considering the success of this bottle, they shouldn't be. Classic flavors of pear and citrus come to life in this easy-drinking wine made with organically grown fruit, with bright and playful bubbles and aromas that won't quit.
5. Kramer Vineyards
2010 Brut Methode Traditionelle • Yamhill-Carlton • $26
Kramer has often been considered a second-tier winery, but if this gorgeous brut is any indicator, a new generation is steering the ship in the right direction. Singing with flavors of apples, blueberries, honey, and brioche, this is the best bubbly for sippers seeking sweetness.

Reader Opinion: Scouts are role models
I'm a Boy Scout with Troop 45 in Brainerd. I think every boy should be in Scouts because it teaches you determination, skills, leadership and team building skills needed to be successful in life. It also prepares you for the way ahead in life. Because of my scouting life I feel I...

"So how do you like the neighborhood? You know we have to have a good place for our kids and us." the buyer asked the agent upon entering the property they were considering buying.
"Well, there were a few robberies in the last few months, and some domestic violence in the neighboring streets." replied the agent.
Was this response proper by the agent to the potential buyers?
Yes it was. The agent knew of an event that might pose an issue for the buyers, thus the agent has to disclose what they know.
Remember, the key is to MAKE THE BUYER AWARE of what you know, to protect your client, as well as yourself in the real estate transaction. If you do not know the answer, then others might.
If, for example, the agent does not know that the area has problems or perhaps might pose a threat or a "deal breaker" for the buyers, then the agent needs to let the buyers know that they can contact their local police department and ask questions, or simply search the internet for their statistics.
Proper search terms would be, as an example:
Neighborhood Crime in _________ (fill in the blank with the town, city or zip code)
Safety Neighborhood Statistics in _______ ( fill in the blank with the town, city or zip code)
What is the Crime Index in_________.... You get the idea. Just search the terms of your questions. There are FBI reports, sex offender reports, and a huge variety of statistics right in front of you.
Also, many title companies can provide with a property profile statistics for schools, businesses and other important factors as well.
Remember, to tell them what is important to THEM, so you are truly there to help and do a good service.
Sorry, but I am not looking at "one small corner" of the facts. I also am not recommending dishonesty, nor did I say "only do your fiduciary duties." I am not suggesting hiding things. Quite frankly I am thoroughly disgusted with the dishonesty and self-serving practice that pervades this industry. I am suggesting simply that just "being honest and telling everything" will not keep the agent out of trouble. Your recommendation to disclose everything would not be a lawful response under several conditions in the state I practice in.
I agree that there is a large body of law to deal with... but your generality is simply not true in every state and in every situation.
This is also one of the examples I'm thinking of... are you qualified to advise licensees in every state to "tell it like it is?" Perhaps honesty would require an acknowledgement that you are not intimately familiar with real estate law in all 50 states.
Note that I said "could be wrong" not "would be wrong." I can tell you this: if an agent practices in my state using the "tell everything" advice you seem to be offering, he or she will eventually end up in court. Perhaps you would be willing to defend him or her when the time comes. Personally, I'd rather not end up there in the first place.
Not understanding the law, fidiciuary duty, agency, etc. will create a lot more of a mess than giving thoughtful, accurate responses.
Perhaps you can give a specific example and the state you are referring to: in terms of where the disclosure is a material fact to the contract and revealing it is against the law, and non-disclosure can mislead or cause damages to the client, but if you were to disclose it you are violating the law. I would love to hear a very specific example, and let us go from there. Of course, please do not use any maritime, military, attorney or governmental top secret examples, because that is obviously different, and I highly doubt the forum readers here are looking for something on that issue. The basic standards of good faith, and fair dealings as well as disclosures, and non-misleading issues are the core to the laws. I am aware, that Delaware is different in a lot of their laws and how they enforce the laws, and record keeping in the courts, but even there, the main laws about honesty and disclosure will not subject you to punishment. So, I am looking forward to your example...If you have a specific statute in mind, feel free to insert it into your explanation as well. Thanks.

Senator Boxer was given a tour of the cancer facility by John Stevenson, MD, Medical Director of the Arnold Palmer Prostate Center. They were joined by Eisenhower Medical Center's G. Aubrey Serfling, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael D. Landes, President, Eisenhower Medical Center Foundation, Louise White, Chief Nursing Officer, and Rancho Mirage Mayor Alan Seman.
Senator Boxer's funding supports one of the new technologies available at the Eisenhower Lucy Curci Cancer Center — stereotactic (X-ray guided) radiosurgery — which gives patients new options for treatment with less pain, fewer risks and shorter recovery time by delivering a powerful, precise dose of radiation to a tumor or lesion without an incision. Eisenhower was the first center to bring this advanced new technology to the Coachella Valley.

Fire in the Hole (Paperback)
In this superb short fiction collection, Elmore Leonard, "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" (New York Times Book Review), once again illustrates how the line between the law and the lawbreakers is not as firm as we might think. In the title story, the basis for the hit FX series Justified, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens meets up with an old friend, but they're now on different sides of the law. Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from Out of Sight, returns in "Karen Makes Out," once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In "When the Women Come Out to Dance," Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage.
These nine stories are the great Elmore Leonard at his vivid, hilarious, and unfailingly human best.
About the Author
Elmore Leonard wrote forty-five novels and nearly as many western and crime short stories across his highly successful career that spanned more than six decades. Some of his bestsellers include Road Dogs, Up in Honey's Room, The Hot Kid, Mr. Paradise, Tishomingo Blues, and the critically acclaimed collection of short stories Fire in the Hole. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, and Rum Punch, which became Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown. Justified, the hit series from FX, is based on Leonard's character Raylan Givens, who appears in Riding the Rap, Pronto, Raylan and the short story "Fire in the Hole." He was a recipient of the National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA, and the Grand Master Award of the Mystery Writers of America. He was known to many as the 'Dickens of Detroit' and was a long-time resident of the Detroit area.
Praise For…
"If Leonard were a new kid instead of a past master, this fiction collection would make his name."
"Rummaging through Leonard's attic via these nine stories revives some fond memories and turns up a couple of forgotten treasures."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Elmore Leonard's 39th book ...finds one of America's most accomplished novelists presenting his most accomplished female characters in years."
-USA Today

Tibetan Monks Mandala Construction
Sponsored by the Office of Student Involvement and Rogers Center for the Arts. From the artistic traditions of Tantric Buddhism, millions of grains of sand are painstakingly laid into place on the flat platform over a period of days. The lamas begin by drawing an outline of the mandala, then lay the colored sands by pouring it from traditional metal funnels called chak-pur. Traditionally, most sand mandalas are destroyed shortly after their completion; this act is completed as a metaphor for the impermanence of life.
The creation of the mandala is a prelude to the performance "Mystical Arts of Tibet Sacred Music and Dance" on Friday, February 8 in the Rogers Center at 7:30 p.m. Tickets available at the box office or by calling ext. 5355.

Dr. Heidarian presented her findings from the study "Physicians' Ethnicity: Does it Affect Nursing Home Placement?" which she completed with colleagues at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New York, the hospital where she completed her fellowship in geriatrics.
"The presentation was very well received.While there have been some studies about how patient ethnicity affects nursing home placement, no one has looked at how physician ethnicity alters this outcome," says Dr. Heidarian. "Patients trust their physicians. So the doctor's opinion holds a lot of weight and has a huge impact on a patient's further management.With this study, we were looking at how the doctor's ethnicity might affect the choice, and also how we may be able to provide other options and services for patients, rather than just a skilled nursing facility."
Dr. Heidarian has been with Eisenhower Medical Center since July 2008 and is already making a significant impact. She is working to create a geriatric center, is involved in the knee replacement committee, as well as the fracture committee to prevent delirium in patients post-operatively.
Dr. Heidarian has also presented at the American Public Health Association, at the American College of Physician's New York Chapter and at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Geriatric Society in Washington, DC

Robert A. Harris is associate professor of Bible at The Jewish Theological Seminary, teaching courses in biblical literature and commentary, particularly medieval Jewish biblical exegesis.
Over the years, Dr. Harris has served JTS in a variety of roles, including assistant to the director of The Library of The Jewish Theological Seminary, professor-in-residence at Camp Ramah in the Poconos, and director of musical theater productions.
An expert in the history of medieval biblical exegesis, Dr. Harris's dissertation was titled The Literary Hermeneutic of Rabbi Eliezer of Beaugency. In 2004, Dr. Harris published a book in the Brown Judaic Studies series, Discerning Parallelism: A Study in Northern French Medieval Jewish Biblical Exegesis. In addition, he has published many articles and reviews in both American and Israeli journals. Dr. Harris regularly delivers papers at academic conferences, such as the International Medieval Congress and the World Congress of Jewish Studies; many of his addresses have been published in various scholarly and academic journals.
Dr. Harris also lectures on biblical narrative and Jewish liturgy in congregations and adult education institutes around the country. One of his most popular series is "Unfolding the Text: An Introduction to Jewish Medieval Bible Commentaries" (the first chapter of which is entitled "I Peshat the Torah!"); Dr. Harris is currently at work on a book on this subject. Other topics include "Murder, They Wrote," a study of biblical murder narratives; "Threes Become Four: How the Maxwell House Haggadah Became a Canonized Text"; and "That Kislev Affair: What Really Happened at Hanukkah?" Dr. Harris's forthcoming books include Rabbi Eliezer of Beaugency's commentary on Amos and Jonah (with selections from Isaiah and Ezekiel).
Dr. Harris has served as a rabbi in several congregations in the United States and Israel, including the Pelham Jewish Center in Westchester County, New York, and Moriah Synagogue in Haifa.
Read Rabbi Harris's High Holiday sermons for 5770:
For the past several years, Dr. Harris has taught in the Meah Program, the renowned adult education course administered by the Boston Hebrew College. He spent 1995–1997 as a visiting scholar at the Bible Department of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and returned there again in the summer of 2007 as a visiting associate professor. Dr. Harris is past president of the Society for the Study of the Bible in the Middle Ages, a constituent organization of the International Medieval Congress. In 2004 and 2007, he taught in Moscow at JTS's Project Judaica at the Russian State University for the Humanities.
Dr. Harris regularly performs with his garage band, SR2 (Shake, Rabbis and Roll), and composes original rock 'n roll. In 2006, he and his band completed a second studio CD (Keep Your Day Job!) and also issued a live album (Live at Primetime). The band's 2003 release, Tales from the Upper West Side, reached the nonexistent "aluminum" category on the music charts.
An erstwhile actor who performed in musical and dramatic productions in the New York area, Dr. Harris is past director of Theater at Camp Ramah in Wisconsin. There, he translated more than a dozen musical comedies into Hebrew. Dr. Harris also directed musical productions in Hebrew at JTS as well as in Jewish schools around the metropolitan area. He has continued his interest in musical theater by producing concert versions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas each year for charitable causes. In the early '90s, Dr. Harris did stand-up comedy at New York's Stand Up, New York! club—where he was once voted "New York's Funniest Rabbi"—and at the Concord Hotel in the Catskills.
Dr. Harris is a graduate of the Joint Program between JTS and Columbia University, having received a BA in Ancient Studies from Columbia and a BHL in Talmud from JTS. He also received an MA in Judaica, MPhil in Bible, rabbinical ordination, and a PhD from JTS.
Dr. Harris's wife, Nellie, is a Jewish educator, and the two are the proud parents of daughters Naamah and Merav.

Tiki Tom's may have burned down Thursday across the estuary, but it's still real hot on the Island.
The red, gold and black political mailers that arrived this week call attention to concerns over "red flags" at City Hall, namely Interim City Manager Ann Marie Gallant, aka ICM.
The mailer was put out by SCC Alameda Point LLC, aka SunCal, who is suing the city over the ending of its exclusive negotiating arrangements and development at Alameda Point.
SunCal's also set up a website about Gallant, which doesn't offer any new information or documents to substantiate points in its mailer.
It does point to the city's investigation of councilwoman Lena Tam as a "personal vendetta" and asks residents to call Mayor Beverly Johnson to see how she defends the ICM.
But it doesn't go so far as to tell voters who SunCal would like us to elect on November 2 ….
A separate mailing takes a different tack at voters: It highlights photos of a cool sailboat cruising along with no captain but flying a sail that says "leadership at the helm."
The flyer is for Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft for City Council.
But this mailing has this blogger asking: Why hasn't Ashcraft been more visible as a candidate before now? Has there been some media/public relations leadership missing at the campaign's helm?
(The same can be said of some other campaigns around town, for sure …)
She's got Neil Tam of the board of education and Billl Sonneman of the Alameda Education Foundation's support, fyi.
