Photo Flash: First Look - Roger Bart Guest Stars on ABC's REVENGE, 1/11
Broadway veteran Roger Bart will guest star on the January 11th episode of ABC's REVENGE. In the episode entitled 'Infamy', Bart will play the role of Mason Treadwell, a rich, pretentious journalist who's written a tell-all book about Long Island high society. Treadwell returns to the town where he has deep ties with both the Graysons and the Clarkes. Also on the episode, Conrad proves how dirty he's willing to get when Daniel gets dragged into the divorce; Jack finally let's his guard down with Amanda; and a stunning revelation is unveiled and becomes a game changer for Emily and the Graysons. The episode airs at 10:00 pm/ET on the ABC network.
REVENGE tells the story of Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp)who is the newest arrival in the Hamptons this summer. By all appearances, she's a friendly and sophisticated "girl next door," whose disarming charm and generosity allow her seamless access to the restricted circles of Hamptons high society. But the affluent, exclusive world she's immersed herself in is tied to a dark family history, and Emily Thorne is anything but what she seems. When Emily was just nine, her father was framed for a horrific crime by neighbors he trusted, and was sentenced to life in prison. Emily never saw her father again and spent her childhood consumed by rage, loss and betrayal. 17 years later, she has returned under an assumed identity with one endgame - REVENGE -- every social overture a carefully planned chip at the foundation of her sworn enemies, until their lives come crashing down around them. Emily's goal is unwavering, and her sharp mind is always five steps ahead. But when her past begins to catch up, her true heart may get caught in the crossfire.
The series stars Emily VanCamp ("Brothers & Sisters," "Everwood") as Emily Thorne, Madeleine Stowe ("We Were Soldiers," "The Last of the Mohicans") as Victoria Grayson, Henry Czerny ("Mission: Impossible," "Clear and Present Danger") as Conrad Grayson, Josh Bowman ("Prowl") as Daniel Grayson, Nick Wechsler ("Roswell") as Jack Porter, Gabriel Mann ("The Bourne Identity") as Nolan Ross, Ashley Madekwe ("Secret Diary of a Call Girl") as Ashley Davenport, Christa B. Allen ("13 Going on 30") as Charlotte Grayson and Connor Paolo ("Gossip Girl") as Declan Porter.
Roger Bart won the Tony Award in 1999 for his performance in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. He was nominated for his performance in The Producers and has also been seen on Broadway in Big River, King David, Triumph of Love, The Frogs and Young Frankenstein. He was also featured last season on the ABC series "The Event" and in the 2005-2006 season of "Desperate Housewives."
Bart has made TV guest appearances on "Traffic Light," "Medium," "Human Target," "CSI: Miami," "Law & Order" and "30 Rock." Other film credits include Law Abiding Citizen with Jamie Foxx, American Gangster, The Stepford Wives and Hostel: Part II. Upcoming film projects include Freaky Deaky, Smiley, April Apocalypse, Excision and A Green Story.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) April 24, 2013
Recognizing the demand for MSN-prepared nurses to take on leadership roles in clinical care, Queens University of Charlotte is launching an online version of its Master of Science in Nursing. The 38-credit hour program is offered through Queens' Presbyterian School of Nursing and includes a Clinical Nurse Leader® track. Applications are now being accepted and classes will begin in September 2013.
The curriculum is designed to teach nurses to incorporate findings from direct patient care, data from tests and recommendations from other healthcare professionals into a comprehensive and effective patient care plan as a Clinical Nurse Leader®. Students learn to take full advantage of available technological resources; collaborate with team members; analyze data and evidence-based research; and design, implement and evaluate patient care plans.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing introduced the Clinical Nurse Leader® role in 2003. The presence of a CNL has been proven to reduce the occurrence of infections, falls, pressure ulcers and readmissions and to improve medication adherence. Those outcomes can help cut costs, something that the healthcare industry values: In 2011, the Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Nursing Services implemented a plan to employ CNLs in all of its medical facilities by 2016. It's also an attractive option for nurses who wish to pursue leadership positions but still enjoy working directly with patients.

CNET was among a group of select journalists who sat down with Sony President and CEO Kazuo Hirai at CES 2014.
The company is redoubling its focus on the PlayStation crowd with the Xperia Z4v, exclusive with Verizon Wireless.
The company had previously said it would lose $1.4 billion in its fiscal year ended March 31, but it has now revised that number down to 126 billion yen.
Light at the end of the financial tunnel? Sony sees a brighter future riding its PlayStation, along with movies, music and components such as image sensors.
More layoffs announced for mobile division, seen by Sony leadership as a key to the company's turnaround efforts.
The cuts would reportedly be in addition to 1,000 jobs Sony already said it would eliminate in smartphone and tablet unit.
By bringing gaming, music and video under the Playstation brand, Sony positions itself to compete with streaming services like Netflix and Google Play.
At CES 2015, Sony CEO Kaz Hirai discusses the recent cyber attack on Sony Pictures and its film, "The Interview." Hirai says, "Freedom of speech is very important to Sony and its entertainment business."
Kazuo Hirai discussed being the target of "extortionist efforts of criminals" who hacked Sony Pictures for making the political satire film, "The Interview."
The entertainment giant touts big sales of its gaming console, especially during the holidays, during its CES keynote.

At first we were grateful for the Eliot Spitzer prostitute scandal — it provided a much-needed beak from the endless horror that has been the Democratic-primary campaign. But now, less than a week after it broke, we're suffering from Spitzer fatigue. Isn't there anything else tawdry and embarrassing to talk about? We've sort of burnt out all of our nerve endings regarding Spitzer. It's like Britney Spears — we're all out of sorry. Lo and behold, yesterday we learned that there is something more tawdry and embarrassing than a married governor using hookers: a married governor having threesomes with his wife and male limo driver. Combined with the added bonus that the wife, despite having seen him frolicking in bed with another man, says she is shocked to learn that he's gay. (Lady, regardless of whether there was another penis in the room, straight men do not "frolic," mmkay?) And thus, Jim McGreevey, Dina Matos McGreevey, and hunky driver Teddy Pedersen have relieved us from our Spitzer doldrums.
The funny thing is, the Trenton press corps totally knew about this all along. We remember when the first McGreevey scandal arose, when the New Jersey governor in 2004 admitted to being a "gay American," a Trenton reporter was unsurprised. "Everybody knew he was doing it with the limo driver," she said. At the time, the alleged McGreevey lover who was exposed was Golan Cipel, his security adviser, although Cipel has always denied any affair. But if everyone knew that for years the McGreeveys had been sharing hotel rooms with Pedersen while on the gubernatorial campaign trail, why didn't anyone report it? It's so George H.W. Bush and Jennifer Fitzgerald for the LGBT era.
Anyway, the Post has all the tawdry details. Here's our favorite bit:
"We called it the Friday Night Special," Pedersen said. The "intense" escapades, he said, usually began with a "couple of drinks" at a local T.G.I. Friday's and culminated in "a hard-core consensual sex orgy" between the three of them at McGreevey's Woodbridge condo.
Oh, man. As far as tawdry and embarrassing goes, the Mayflower Hotel has nothing on T.G.I. Friday's.

Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.

As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.

Martin County homeowners facing slight increase in county property tax bills
STUART — The typical Martin County homeowner would pay nearly $11 more in property taxes to the county government in the upcoming year, under the budget proposal discussed Monday by the County Commission.
Commissioners are expected to set their tentative budget and property tax rate Tuesday evening or Wednesday, said County Administrator Taryn Kryzda.
Kryzda has proposed a $337.4 million budget for 2012-2013 that calls for a property tax rate of almost $8.83 per $1,000 of assessed value. That would raise nearly $131 million in property tax revenue, the same as the current budget year.
"There are no new taxes being collected," Kryzda told commissioners.
The typical homeowner would pay $1,008.02 in property taxes for 2012-2013, Kryzda said. That's based on a house with a homestead exemption and the county's median taxable value, $114,210.
The typical homeowner would pay $10.94 more than the current year, a 1.1 percent increase, Kryzda said. However, the assessed value of many homesteaded properties increased by 3 percent because those values are less than the market value.
The county's nonunion employees have not had a raise in four years and Kryzda has recommended no raises in the upcoming year.
Commissioner Patrick Hayes said a small pay hike should be considered for the county's lowest-paid employees because the cost of living has gone up in the past four years.
Ronald Pilenzo, a retired business executive who serves as vice president of the Martin County Taxpayers Association, said if the county give raises, they should not be limited to the lowest-paid workers.
Raises should be tied to the performance rating of the workers and should be a percentage of their salary, not a fixed amount like $500, Pilenzo said.
Later Monday, commissioners voted unanimously to approve the tentative budgets for the Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections, Sheriff's Office, Clerk of the Circuit Court, and state judiciary.
Commissioners also unanimously approved the budgets proposed for several departments.
However, commissioners Sarah Heard and Ed Fielding dissented on the vote on the airport's proposed budget because of concerns about the U.S. Customs facility proposed at Witham Field.
Once commissioners set the tentative budget and tax rate, they can reduce the figures, but not raise them.
The budget will be finalized during hearings on Sept. 11 and 25 and go into effect on Oct. 1. The Tax Collector typically mails tax bills in late October or early November.
Proposed property tax rate: $8.8259 per $100,000 of assessed value
Home with taxable value of $114,210
County Commission tax bill with proposed rate: $1,008.02
2012 tax rate: $8.7302 per $1,000 of assessed value
County Commission tax bill with 2012 rate: $997.08

Face To Face With Crytek: Warface Interview
Is it unfashionable to be cynical about free-to-play these days?* I'm a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to this stuff. I don't like the idea that game design, balance and content are all elements of a game that can and should be fiddled with depending on how many little chunks of money a player throws at the developer. I also think that the some examples of microtransactions are at best poor value, and at worst deeply exploitative. I'm open minded though. Especially open minded when the free-to-play game in question has got very shiny graphics, and lets you shoot robots. I sat down with Crytek's Michael Krach & Michael Khaimzon at GDC to find out more about their upcoming Microtransaction based game, Warface, and it seems as though they saw me coming. (moreâ?¦)

Bad Girls All Star Battle 2 Episode 2 Recap
You all know by now that I deliver recaps without intentionally spoiling them in the intro and this recap for this show is going to be no different.
Ratings: Justified Returns
I suppose today just happens to be a day where Justified grabbed all the headlines (FX renewed the show for a 6th and final season) but this past week was very kind to a lot of shows. Seems like the scripted shows came prepared to do some work this winter.
Bad Girls All Star Battle 2 Premiere Recap
It was pleasant not having to watch annoying chicks for any period of time. Too bad the holidays are over and there are no snow storms or bitterly cold weather to slow down my internet to postpone doing this recap. :: Sighs ::
January 2014 Television Premiere Dates
It's been a couple of months but a brand new month of a brand new year means lots of shows are coming back on TV. As I've done with the previous posts I'll try to add teasers or trailers of shows premiering new seasons but I'm not going to bother with that for all those […]
Ratings: Out With the Old; In With the New
Not much to see here today. I may put up a ratings post next week but I'll have to see how many shows are airing new episodes and how long the delays are (It should be less than 10 shows in total though so don't count on it). Also this list is short and I […]

Letters to the Editor: 04.28.06
I am trying to get my letter in before all the uneducated start screaming about gas prices.
The price of crude oil has increased because there is more demand worldwide. That price increase is passed on to the consumer.
Business owners have a business to make a profit. They increase the price at the pump in anticipation of what they will have to pay for the next load of fuel.
Liberals have succeeded in scaring the uneducated by telling them that the natural warming and cooling of the earth is really caused by people and their SUVs. They call it global warming.
This doesn't exist. Enough un-educated people believe it does, so now we are putting more ethanol and other additives into our fuel. This increases the cost.
As a portion of total income, the cost of gasoline is as low or lower than it has been for the last 30 years.
There is a sticker on the pump face that tells how much per gallon you pay in taxes. Since 50 percent of the wage earners pay 97 percent of income taxes, this tax is probably one of the few taxes you pay.
But if you can succeed in yelling loud enough, I am sure your pandering politicians will find a way to pass this tax on to hard-working Americans as well.
Bob Prukop
Who wants them?
Re: "Right place" (Letters, March 24): According to whom? Would Mr. Walver and all of those obliging people who have suggested Corpus Christi Beach as the perfect dumping ground for such an atrocious thing as a Ferris wheel like to have it placed directly in front of their homes? I would think not.
Homeowners on Corpus Christi Beach have the exact same concerns that all other homeowners have. Who in their right mind would want an endless, constant carnival atmosphere to live in?
Has anyone given any thought to the throngs of people, traffic and trash that would result from placing this sort of entertainment anywhere in Corpus Christi?
The city doesn't have enough resources or manpower to maintain Corpus Christi Beach as it is. Instead of exploiting our natural resource, we should be working toward more effectively protecting and preserving our beaches.
As residents of Corpus Christi Beach, we are tired of having our area used as a dumping ground for those things that others wouldn't want in their own neighborhood.
Sylvia Alvarado
Who does work?
In response to the letters from William Ott ("Arrest them") and Kay Leland ("Obeyed the law") on April 18: Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it.
Who do you think is going to do all the low-wage, high-labor work, if all the illegal immigrants are sent back to their respective countries, which by the way are not limited to Hispanics crossing in through Texas, Arizona and California.
What about the Asians and Europeans illegally shipped in through our sea ports by the thousands in cargo containers?
Who will wash your cars?
Who will cook the food and wash the dishes in restaurants?
Who will mow and landscape the lawns?
Who will pick the fruits and crops you eat?
Who will be your inexpensive "shade tree mechanic?"
Who will clean your houses and be a nanny to your kids?
Who will do the cleaning where you work?
Send them back to where they came from? The Indians and Hispanics are the original inhabitants of this land.
Arturo Cortez Sr.
Exporting poverty
The Caller-Times showed a picture of 50,000 protesters demonstrating against reducing the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.
I doubt that one out of 10 in that group has stopped to think that the countries that the people come from are only exporting their poverty to our country. The other countries are not trying to improve their economies so that there would be no need for their people to risk their lives trying to slip into the United States.
Mexico is in the forefront. The wealth of these other countries would be relieved of the burden of their poor.
Doyle T. Cooley
Mexico's laws
Speaking of immigration laws, Mexico every year deports about 60,000 or more illegal immigrants from its southern border.
Not only do they close their borders, but also, if a deported immigrant returns to Mexico illegally, he or she is subject to a 10-year prison sentence. "Los ilegales" in Mexico don't get a free ride back to their native country, nor a free meal, nor even free legal service. In Mexico, the law is the law.
Mexico levies heavy fines on tourists who overstay their visas, and does not allow foreign spouses of legal citizens to work.
And when it comes to health care in Mexico, public hospitals first ask patients if they are legal residents. If not, administrators are obligated to report offenders to immigration officials.
Mexico's public schools require children to provide a birth certificate before being allowed to register. There are no freebies, no school bus pick-ups, no school lunch and no free education for legal residents, much less for illegal residents.
I find it a little hard to stomach all this whining and protesting against U.S. immigration laws coming from illegal immigrants, and especially from our neighbors in Mexico who apparently have tougher immigration laws than the U.S. has ever had. What hypocrisy!
Sofia H. Gonzalez
Enforce laws
There are several myths about illegal aliens. These myths should be corrected immediately.
First: "They are just hard-working people who are looking for jobs." No, they are lawbreakers who are stealing services from tax-paying Americans.
"They are doing work that Americans won't do." No, the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws, by the federal government, is a subsidy to companies that won't pay reasonable wages to Americans.
"Those who have been here for longer periods should be give amnesty." Not at all; since they are unlawfully in the country, they all should be deported.
"Well, you can't get rid of the 12 to 20 million already here." Preposterous; enforce the laws against employing aliens and provide rewards, paid out of employer fines, to whistleblowers who identify illegal employment.
The fact is that illegals' marching for "their rights" is an alien concept in any country. I will march, in November, to the polls and vote for any candidate for any office who wants to enforce our immigration laws. I will vote against anyone who doesn't.
Robert J. Joubert
Pain of loss
On behalf of the Homicide Survivors group, we would like to thank the City Council and mayor for the proclamation given to us. Also, thank you, South Shore Christian Church, for the place and care given to us over the years.
I am a crime victim advocate. I lost a son in 1992.
Elsie Carey
Before the fall?
There were no controls on the borders, and aliens kept pouring in. Senate seats could be bought or traded, and citizenship had a dollar value. The poor masses were chattel and expendable; health care and sanitation were unsolvable urban problems. Rioting and looting became commonplace. Criminals got away with murder.
We all know how the Roman Empire fell. Do we want the same for the United States of America? Diversity is only good when there's common ground. Not to be assimilated means invasion, culturally speaking, and a goal of domination. Learn from the Irish, Italians, Vietnamese, etc. There is a right way and a wrong way.

Respect science
Re: Mr. Olivares' letter (March 24), "Faith is strong"
I believe that this Earth we live in is just too perfect not to recognize a higher power having a hand in it. So I do believe in God, very much. But to completely dismiss facts and theories that scientists have on the early beginnings of our universe is wrong.
God created the heavens and the earth, but let's find out how it might have been done. We should give scientists more credit, because the work that they have done in our lifetime has been life-saving for some people and knowledge for others.

Mucolyxir™ is a DNA-based nutritional supplement, utilizing DNA from wild Pacific salmon. One method by which the body attempts to keep the lungs clear of mucus is to mount an immune response against the agent(s) causing the problem. When the attempts to eliminate foreign material fail, excessive DNA can build up from lysed white blood cells, resulting in viscous mucus. The small amount of DNA in Mucolyxir™ may balance mucus levels via a regulatory mechanism. Based on pre-clinical investigations and clinical trials, Mucolyxir™ appears to support cilia motion, and liquification and elimination of mucoid substance.

Pokkiri Raja (English: The Rogue King) is a 2010 Malayalam action masala film starring Mammootty in the title role along with Prithviraj and Shriya Saran in supporting roles. The film is written by the duo Udayakrishna-Siby K. Thomas, directed by debutante Vyshakh, and the music is composed by Jassie Gift.

The film was released on 7 May 2010 in Kerala.[5] It was remade in Hindi as Boss and Telugu as Bhai with Nagarjuna Akkineni and Prasanna. The film was dubbed in Hindi as Ek Boss The Raja.
The film revolves around Madhavan Nair (Nedumudi Venu) who unknowingly kills a teenager and his eldest son, Raja, takes the blame and is sentenced to jail for five years. After returning from jail, his father refuses to accept him still with no knowledge that his son was innocent,and so Raja moves to Madurai and there he rescues the life of the son of Maniannai, the village land lord and then Raja turns his right hand and he is named as Madurai Raja. Years later, he started being known as Pokkiri Raja (Mammootty).
Meanwhile Surya (Pritviraj), the younger son of Madhavan Nair, is a young energetic and educated naughty guy who is well famous for his rowdisim in his village. He is sent to Ernakulam to his brother-in-law Sugunan (Suraj Venjaramoodu) to change his character, who is a scary cat. At Ernakulam, Surya falls in love with Aswathy (Shriya Saran) unknowing that she is the daughter of the City Police Commissioner. Sugunan takes advantage of Surya's character and sends him in his uniform to take care of some severe police cases. Surya gets arrested for this offence. The commissioner finds that Surya is in love with his daughter and charges Surya with another drugs case and makes it a non bailable offence. Meanwhile the commissioner plans to murder Surya in jail and gives the contract to Pokkiri Raja. At this point, Madhavan Nair goes to Madurai in search of his elder son who left for Madurai 10 years back and asks for his help to rescue his younger son Surya.

The film was launched by Mammootty with the absence of Prithviraj and Shriya Saran at Changanassery on 30 December 2009. Veteran director Joshi lighted the ceremonial lamp at the function.[6] Shooting of the film began on 11 January 2010 at various locations in Pollachi and Ernakulam.[7] Prithviraj's song 'Manikyakallin Mukkuticharhtum' song was first shot. The shooting completed within 50 days with a production cost around 5 crores and distribution works started in April. Audio was launched in April at Ernakulam. The dubbing of the film was happen at Kochi.[8] A song was planned to shoot at London featuring the lead pair Prithviraj and Shriya Saran but had to canceled because of volcanic ash from london has stopped the airport from fly in or out any flight.[9] While actress Shriya Saran get stranded with Tamil actor Arya at London while shooting for their film Chikku Bukku.[10]
Critical response[edit]
Pokkiri Raja generally received mixed reviews from critics. Among the actors, Mammootty received reviews such as "Mammootty excels as Pokkiri Raja, eliciting loud applause from ardent fans",[11] "Mammootty dances and uses his broken English to induce laughter as has been the trend in recent times",[12] "Mammootty and Prithviraj look handsome in their own way and the scenarist duo of Siby K Thomas and Udayakrishna have succeeded in allotting almost equal footage to them",[13] "Mammootty saves this film from not being a total washout with his amazing screen presence"[14] and "Mammootty and Prithviraj looks good on screen as usual",[15] for Prithviraj the critics describe his performance as "Prithviraj packaged as a wholesome entertainer does not disappoint. One just hopes that this manufactured adulation does not go to his head",[12] "Prithviraj as Surya gives a power-packed performance. The duo together breathes energy into the film as a whole",[11] and "Prithvi looks well-groomed, but I doubt if this film would do anything worthwhile for his surging career".[14] The heroine Shriya Saran manage to get some good reviews among the critics despite her role was very short, "Shriya Saran plays Prithviraj's pair in the film and she has nothing much to do other than to look pretty",[13] "Shriya Saran gives ample support as Ashwathi",[11] "Shreya Saran plays the love lady to Prithviraj in the film and has done her role impressively. There is nothing much in her role"[15] and "Shreya is gorgeous of course, but all she has to do is to look bewildered at the brothers in action, and that she does". The film had some daredevil action scenes from the megastar & Prithviraj which were composed by the renowned Tamil action choreographer Kanal Kannan[14]

Whooping cough is on the rise again? You're right people better get vaccinate, and now is as good a time as any to oppose the Anti-Vaccine people and their Pseudoscience.

Scary part is, the article says most of the cases are in people who HAVE been vaccinated.

You're probably still much less likely to get if you have been vaccinated.

Won't get an argument from me. My thoughts were running along the lines of "The evolution of this disease is scary," when I posted my comment.

In absolute numbers, yes. Bacterial vaccines are highly effective at reducing the severity of infection but a bit less effective at preventing infection. Even with a highly effective vaccine, it will not confer immunity for some people.
Also, what does "vaccinated" mean in this context? Had the vaccine as an infant? Pertussis needs to be boosted every 5 years. Were all of these people up to date on their boosters? Many adults don't receive their boosters because it isn't a priority for most pcps or their adult patients. And then there are all those adults who cannot afford preventive care. Also, vaccines can be expensive to keep in stock and the reimbursement for them is frequently not equal to that cost.
Regardless, ensuring that the most people possible have been fully vaccinated and boosted is our best chance of eliminating disease. The provisions for free preventive care in the ACA will help us achieve this.

Does anyone know about the situation with pertussis boosters in the UK? I went to the doctor recently (for a different reason) and while I was there asked about which vaccines I should be up to date with as my partner and I are planning on trying to conceive soon. The only one she mention was rubella, because that can affect the fetus, and when I asked about pertussis she just looked very confused as to why I'd want it and said that no one had ever asked her before. I see that in the US and Australia they recommend a booster for people planning on becoming parents, but it doesn't seem to be a recommendation in the UK. Anyone have any extra info? I'm not sure if I should insist on it, or just do things the UK way.

There is no adult booster in the UK (A booster is given at age 4 at the age of starting school here)for whooping cough, wish there was though its a horrible illness I got it when I was nine because my parents were sucked into the health scare in the 70s when I was born. I've just had a baby and I can't wait until she has had all her injections kind of counting the days till her 3 month ones.

The Bachmann situation has changed since this article was written. She has now accused her fellow congressman, Keith Ellison of being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. I think she may be headed for a censuring after this. Even a Republican-controlled House is likely to be dumbfounded by this.

Ugh I have to stop visiting mommy boards. Apparently, according to anti vax moms, SIDS and autism are now in the DTAP vaccine. I only glanced at the thread title so I'm not exactly sure what they mean but it was enough to raise my blood pressure.
Anti vax propaganda spreads like wild fire on mommy boards.

The World's Worst Human Rights Observer
As Arab League monitors work to expose President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown, the head of the mission is a Sudanese general accused of creating the fearsome "janjaweed," which was responsible for the worst atrocities during the Darfur genocide.
- By David KennerDavid Kenner is the Middle East editor for Foreign Policy.

For the first time in Syria's nine-month-old uprising, there are witnesses to President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown, which according to the United Nations has claimed more than 5,000 lives. Arab League observers arrived in the country on Dec. 26, and traveled to the city of Homs — the epicenter of the revolt, where the daily death toll regularly runs into the dozens, according to activist groups — on Dec. 27. Thousands of people took to the streets to protest against Assad upon the observers' arrival, while activists said Syrian tanks withdrew from the streets only hours before the Arab League team entered the city.
"I am going to Homs," insisted Sudanese Gen. Mohammad Ahmed Mustafa al-Dabi, the head of the Arab League observer mission, telling reporters that so far the Assad regime had been "very cooperative."
But Dabi may be the unlikeliest leader of a humanitarian mission the world has ever seen. He is a staunch loyalist of Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocide and crimes against humanity for his government's policies in Darfur. And Dabi's own record in the restive Sudanese region, where he stands accused of presiding over the creation of the feared Arab militias known as the "janjaweed," is enough to make any human rights activist blanch.
Dabi's involvement in Darfur began in 1999, four years before the region would explode in the violence that Secretary of State Colin Powell labeled as "genocide." Darfur was descending into war between the Arab and Masalit communities — the same fault line that would widen into a bloodier interethnic war in a few years' time. As the situation escalated out of control, Bashir sent Dabi to Darfur to restore order.
According to Julie Flint and Alex De Waal's Darfur: A New History of a Long War, Dabi arrived in Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, on Feb. 9, 1999, with two helicopter gunships and 120 soldiers. He would stay until the end of June. During this time, he would make an enemy of the Masalit governor of West Sudan. Flint and De Waal write:
Governor Ibrahim Yahya describes the period as 'the beginning of the organization of the Janjawiid', with [Arab] militia leaders like Hamid Dawai and Shineibat receiving money from the government for the first time. 'The army would search and disarm villages, and two days later the Janjawiid would go in. They would attack and loot from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., only ten minutes away from the army. By this process all of Dar Masalit was burned.'
Yahya's account was supported five years later by a commander of the Sudan Liberation Army, a rebel organization movement in the region. "[T]hings changed in 1999," he told Flint and De Waal. "The PDF [Popular Defense Forces, a government militia] ended and the Janjawiid came; the Janjawiid occupied all PDF places."
Dabi provided a different perspective on his time in Darfur, but it's not clear that he disagrees on the particulars of how he quelled the violence. He told Flint and De Waal that he provided resources to resolve the tribes' grievances, and employed a firm hand to force the leaders to reconcile — "threatening them with live ammunition when they dragged their feet," in the authors' words. "I was very proud of the time I spent in Geneina," Dabi said.
De Waal told FP that Yahya, who would become a senior commander for the rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), had "an axe to grind" against the Sudanese military — but his charge that Dabi spurred the creation of the janjaweed wasn't far off base.
"[T]he army command finds the militia useful and fearsome in equal measure," De Waal said. "So al-Dabi's regularization of the Arab militia served both to rein them in, but also to legitimize their activities and retain them as a future strike force."
Dabi's role in Darfur is only one episode in a decades-long career that has been spent protecting the interests of Bashir's regime. He has regularly been trusted with authority over the regime's most sensitive portfolios: The day Bashir took power in a coup in 1989, he was promoted to head of military intelligence. In August 1995, after protesters at Khartoum University rattled the regime, Dabi became head of Sudan's foreign intelligence agency — pushing aside a loyalist of Hassan al-Turabi, the hard-line Islamist cleric who helped Bashir rise to power but would be pushed aside several years later. And as civil war ravaged south Sudan, Dabi was tasked from 1996 to 1999 as chief of Sudan's military operations.
It is likely, however, Dabi's more recent career that led to his selection as head of the Arab League observer mission in Syria. He served as Sudan's ambassador to Qatar from 1999 to 2004, and would return to Doha after his term ended in a Darfur-related position — making him a well-known quantity to the Qatari government, which has taken the lead among Arab states in pressuring Assad's regime.
In 2006, Dabi was appointed head of the Darfur Security Arrangements Implementation Commission (DSAIC) — according to the peace agreement, De Waal said, a representative of the former rebels was supposed to get the position, but Bashir "simply ignored" that provision to tap Dabi. In this new position, he played a major role in the peace talks, sponsored by Qatar, which resulted in the government and one rebel group signing the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur in July 2011.
While much of Dabi's activities in recent years have been behind closed doors, his limited media statements show that he remains a Bashir loyalist par excellence. In 2006, he slammed U.N. Special Representative Jan Pronk's statement that Sudan had suffered defeats in Darfur as "false and misleading," according to the Sudanese press, urging Pronk to "steer clear" of military issues and "concentrate on his duties instead." That same year, his aide suggested there would be a time limit to the African Union troops in Darfur, saying the peacekeepers could "stay until the crisis is over, but not indefinitely."
Dabi's checkered past is only one of the criticisms of the observer mission, which human rights activists have criticized for falling far short of its promise to monitor the implementation of an Arab League initiative meant to end Assad's crackdown. Wissam Tarif, the Arab world coordinator for the human rights group Avaaz, slammed the mission for being far too small — at roughly 50 people — to monitor the situation across Syria, for failing to provide any biographical information about the observers to human rights organizations, and for relying on Assad's forces to shepherd them around the country. "I helped set up a meeting with activists in Homs, and [the observers] arrived with 10 security officers along with them," Tarif noted — obviously a huge risk to the protest organizers' safety.
As monitors arrive in Homs, Syrians will no doubt cheer their arrival at the center of the uprising. But given the stumbles of the Arab League observer mission, it's clear that Syrians are still very much alone.

In 1961, Jan-Erik Roos published a "theorem", which says that in an [AB4*] abelian category, lim1 vanishes on Mittag–Leffler sequences. See Propositions 1 and 5 in [4]. This is a "theorem" that many people since have known and used. In this article, we outline a counterexample. We construct some strange abelian categories, which are perhaps of some independent interest.¶These abelian categories come up naturally in the study of triangulated categories. A much fuller discussion may be found in [3]. Here we provide a brief, self contained, non–technical account. The idea is to make the counterexample easy to read for all the people who have used the result in their work.¶In the appendix, Deligne gives another way to look at the counterexample.

66 MAXIMIZING THE IMPACT OF THE CURES ACCELERATION NETWORK RESPONDING TO FRUSTRATION1 Joshua Boger, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, reminded the workshop partici- pants that the legislation leading to CAN resulted from frustration with the status quo. He cautioned that CAN will be tempted to do the same thing over and over while expecting different results, which, as Albert Einstein noted, is one definition of insanity. "CAN needs to have a very low toler- ance for the status quo, and frankly for consensus, which is the basis of the status quo," said Boger. It should instead search for companies, individuals, and collaborators who are outside the mainstream, he said. The small amount of funding initially allocated to CAN is likely to force it to work on tools rather than specific diseases, Boger said. But he added that tools are best developed in the context of a specific project. "Technology is rarely the problem," he said. "We need to close the appli- cation gap." He commented that individual projects are the best way to create system change. Boger also expressed concern about a misalignment of goals among funders. Investors do not necessarily have the goal of creating cures. In that sense, the best co-investor is often a patient group, he said, because those are the groups most closely aligned to the mission of CAN. Finally, he reminded the workshop participants of how difficult it will be to achieve the goals of CAN. "With all due respect, [designing] a Mach 20 aircraft is easy compared to a typical drug." Ninety-nine out of 100 drug development projects fail to make a significant medical impact. CAN's portfolio therefore needs to focus not only on cures but on trans- forming the process that will lead to cures. Good project management is necessary but not sufficient. "Expect most projects to fail. Don't be defen- sive about that. Don't over promise, and therefore you won't have to fear people or the Congress. They can handle the truth." CAN should not be used to convert academic researchers into trans- lational scientists, Boger said. But it can increase knowledge about the constraints on either side. In this way, it can help reshape the engagement of academic investigators with translational work. The essential ingredient of successful drug development is personal passion sustained over long periods of time, Boger said. "All successful projects fail at least once. That should be built into the process. I know of no exceptions to that rule for any successful drug. They have all failed once. If the projects are set up to weed out failures, it will weed out suc- cesses." Even spectacular failures, if done in good faith, can amount to wins. "Insist on great science, but insist on projects that can only come about through challenging the existing process." 1 This section is based on remarks by Joshua Boger, Founder, Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

FINAL REFLECTIONS 67 A RALLYING CRY2 Carol Mimura, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Intellectual Property and Industry Research Alliances, University of California, Berkeley, labeled the workshop "a rallying cry to action . . . to change the whole ecosystem that enhances human health." Challenges abound, she said, but the work- shop demonstrated the existence of an energy and a commitment to col- laboration to overcome them. Many people commented during the workshop that partnerships will be an important way to overcome barriers. She said that she has been involved at Berkeley with the establishment of hundreds of col- laborations with industry; the university signs more than 350 new agree- ments every year. Its involvement with industry has evolved to the point that it now engages in multiparty agreements with governments and industries around the world. It also stays engaged with industry farther into the translational research arena than would be the case under the traditional technology transfer model. Innovation is not a linear process, where money goes into one end of the pipeline and drugs emerge from the other. Iteration is essential to improve on the existing situation and to align goals. "Solving the grand challenges of science requires just the right mix of talent and funding and desire and passion through successive waves of innovation." From Mimura's perspective, the typical reason why a partnership fails is because of personal egos, not the clash of institutions. Individuals need to believe that a collaboration is worthwhile and not let personal disputes get in the way of the collective good. Mimura emphasized the point that changes anywhere in an inter connected ecosystem can drive change in the entire system. For example, very early-stage research aimed at a commercial product typically is not ready to be picked up by biotechnology companies or pharmaceutical companies. But it can be pursued by spinoff companies from universities. In that regard, institutional innovations such as new ways to raise venture capital for small start-up companies can have wide-ranging effects. MASTERING THE DETAILS3 Robert O'Neill, Senior Statistical Advisor, CDER, FDA, also com- mented on the sense of enthusiasm that surrounds the formation of CAN. But he cautioned that the devil is in the details. Changing the culture of organizations can be very difficult, but there are ways to do it.

68 MAXIMIZING THE IMPACT OF THE CURES ACCELERATION NETWORK example, the contracting mechanisms pioneered by DARPA were "an eye opener," he said, because they can help make things happen that would not have happened otherwise. In that regard, he said, CAN needs to have a well-structured and carefully thought-out mechanism for prioritizing demonstration projects that have widespread impacts rather than just promoting a single project. O'Neill also pointed to the CTSAs as a resource that needs to be reexamined to see how they can support CAN's mission. To get products to patients, the developers of those products need to be familiar with regula- tory processes, and outside the drug development world not many people understand these processes. Standardization on both the medical side and the regulatory side can ease this disconnect. "Without that, we are not going to be able to do all this cross-study, cross-product research," he said. BEYOND ROCKET SCIENCE4 Robert Califf, Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, pointed to the immense challenge inherent in the name given to CAN, which implies that cures will be developed in a short period of time. NIH grantees have learned to be expert at claiming victory on small advances, but they are far less expert at describing diseases they have cured, he said. Califf also agreed that biomedical science is much more complicated than rocket science. With an engineering project, contracts can be exe- cuted ahead of time and are relatively predictable, while failures are not unexpected and typically result in the provision of more time and fund- ing. To some extent, medical devices can be developed that way, "but drugs are horrendously more complicated." Finally, he observed that clinical trials now can cost on the order of $500 million. "You could reduce that by 50 percent per clinical trial and probably end up with better data," he contended. But, he said, FDA is sending industry the opposite signal--that it has to spend more money to hope to survive the regulatory gauntlet. CHANGING THE CULTURE AND SHOWING DELIVERABLES5 Sudip Parikh, Battelle Memorial Institute, agreed that CAN has been designed to change the culture. The rest of NIH still has $30 billion to do 4 This section is based on remarks by Robert Califf, Professor of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center. 5 This section is based on remarks by Sudip Parikh, Vice President of Health Policy, and Managing Director, Centers for Public Health Research and Evaluation, Battelle Memorial Institute.

FINAL REFLECTIONS 69 hypothesis-driven research. CAN is supposed to open new spaces, even at the cost of failure. "It is not about 20 different projects at half a million dollars each planting a seed. If that is what comes out at $10 million, it will be gone next year. I can guarantee it." Far better to fund a single project that would be deemed a success, he said. Parikh said that he wants to see the research enterprise funded and valued in the way that it has been for the past 50 years, but "we have to be able to show some deliverables," encompassing a range of successes from cultural change to treatments and interventions. As an example of a cultural change, he cited the option of hiring program managers who would focus on specific diseases with a laser-like intensity. If something does not work, what other paths can a program manager take? CAN is a vehicle to figure out the next step in the path. CAN is an embodiment of that cultural exchange. It enumerates cures, treatments, devices, those sorts of things that can be gleaned from focused activities, Parikh said. The initial funding amount may be small, but disease foundations have demonstrated that important advances can be made for relatively little money. "THE STATUS QUO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE"6 Kathy Hudson, NIH, delivered closing reflections on the workshop. "The status quo is not acceptable," she began. "We are infusing that into the brains and the hearts of everybody who works with us. The ques- tion is now whether or not we can deliver on showing that CAN can cut through red tape, create culture change, and create new tools and new processes that will make a demonstrable difference." The proper balance between developing tools and supporting specific projects remains uncertain and will need to be addressed by the CAN Board, she said. CAN needs to have a catalytic role, especially because of its limited funding, but it also has to have a disease focus.
