Where I'm From
Your Brooklyn is different from my Brooklyn. Both of our Brooklyns have 2.6 million people. They both contain many different cultures and ethnicities. It is ironic that its motto from the original Dutch settlers is Eendraght Maeckt Maght, or "Unity Gives Strength." Brooklyn has so many groups that unity is nearly nonexistent. It's more like peaceful parallelism than harmony.
You have Music Hall of Williamsburg and I have Satmar of Williamsburg. You have Paul Auster and I have Reb Ahron Shechter. You have Greenpoint, Park Slope, Gowanus, and Dumbo. I have Flatbush and Borough Park. You have cafes, coffee shops, jazz bars, dive bars, martini bars, strip clubs, and bowling clubs. I have the Seven-Eleven on Avenue M, and if I'm a "bum," the Starbucks on 65th street. You have new and used book stores. I have Judaica stores selling seforim, mezuzahs, and yarmulkes.
Recreation is not a word in my vernacular. I have a roadmap for my life plotted out for me even before I was born: Go to Yeshiva. Stay in Yeshiva. Sleep in Yeshiva. Get married. Bills? Marry rich and your in-laws will provide. You have opportunities. Ivy League. Liberal Arts. Two-year, four-year colleges. Trade schools. Me? Bachelors in Talmudic Law. Touro College if I receive rabbinical permission. Brooklyn College if I'm rebellious.
You want to be a self made man? What are you, a Protestant? My Rabbi leaned back into his chair and rubbed his eyes.
Brooklyn is seen nowadays as a city teeming with creative talents. A place where artists go to live, to be around other artists, to help their art grow. My Brooklyn is a place of rules and regulations, a place where growth is stifled and conformity is key. Before leaving my house I have to give every article of clothing a second thought. "Can I wear this? Is this appropriate?"
Your Brooklyn respects both the comfortable yuppies of Park Slope and the poor hipsters of Greenpoint. My Brooklyn rates people by their net worth. Although many people in my Brooklyn are not rich, many give off the impression that they are, so that they can be looked upon with respect. Appearing rich is also important in order to find suitable mates for one's offspring. By seeming rich, there are also cliques that people can join. I never liked this because Jewish thought generally rejects earthly desires and indulgences. One might see it as contradictory for people to act ultra-Orthodox and at the same time be part of a culture that promotes big houses, big cars, showiness and ostentatiousness. How can you be so involved with yourself and be involved with God at the same time? We serve monetary idols.
There were many Saturdays when I would walk along Ocean Parkway and see scantily-clad hipsters riding their fixed-gear bicycles and having an all-around good time, while I was forced to walk in my stiff, wool Shabbos suit, sweating under my fur fedora. I envied their freedoms, the why-don't-we-go-for-a-bike-ride-in-whatever-we're-wearing lifestyle.
Online, I sought out and discovered various types of events where I, too, might partake of your Brooklyn; art exhibits to stroll through, games to watch, artisanal beer to drink, and unique food to sample. These all sounded alien to me. Partially out of curiosity and partially out of rebelliousness, I decided to become one of them. Before joining them, I had to first fit in. I shaved my beard and visited a hairsylist. Shed my black shoes for vintage green and brown bowling shoes. While I never completely rejected the uniform white shirt and black pants, I sometimes exchanged them for pink, green, or brown shirts. While they were still formal, they were less conservative. My pants essentially remained the same. While in yeshiva I always wore creased, dry-clean-only dress pants, at home I wore khakis. In my mind, black is black and whether it goes in the washing machine or not is irrelevant. So my pants were dark. My shoes stood out the most. Then I started going out. Reddit meetups, book readings, storytelling events. Open bars, trash bars, whiskey lounges, you name it. Live Moth shows and Moma. From a loud rave to a quiet museum, I got around.
After a year of fun, I learned a surprising lesson. You and I are not too different. We both have hierarchies that outsiders would view as archaic. We both have cliques that we scorn but secretly want to be part of. We both have a society's expectations of us that we may view as unnecessary. This is why I returned to my community with all it's rules. While I definitely had fun in your Brooklyn, I can now enjoy our Brooklyn even more.Printable Version

October 3, 2015
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Players on both the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers are openly declaring their faith in Jesus Christ as they prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl.
When a reporter challenged Arizona's Tim Hightower to pray in front of the press corps, the Cardinals running back responded, "I can pray that whatever is going on in your life right now that youfind God."
Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner told sports reporters that he's trying to "represent Jesus" in everything he does. In his words, "It's the most important thing in my life."
Warner's public display of faith has made an impression on his younger teammates, about 20 of whom join him in Bible studies after practice every Wednesday during the season.
Steelers safety Troy Polamalu says faith permeates every aspect of his life.

In an editorial today hitting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie for dropping out of the Northeast cap-and-trade program, the New York Times stated:
The Northeast state compact will survive Mr. Christie's exit. It is New Jersey that will be the poorer, with less to invest in smarter energy programs, more carbon dioxide and a leadership vacancy at its helm. [Emphasis added]
New Jersey will have "more carbon dioxide"? Hey, we bet that even Mitt Romney would know that the scare is "global warming" not "New Jersey warming."

In a bizarre Memorial Day editorial, the Washington Post criticized climate skeptics for using the Freedom of Information Act to pry documents concerning Climategater Michael Mann from the University of Virginia.
The Post labeled the skeptics' FOIA efforts as "harrassing" and "nuisance tactics."
The Post, however, has been entirely silent on Greenpeace's efforts to FOIA documents from the University of Virginia concerning Pat Michaels, University of Delaware concerning David Legates and from Harvard University concerning Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas — efforts that are truly "harrassing" and "nuisance" in nature as Greenpeace acted entirely in retaliation to the FOIA request concerning Mann.
The editorial is especially gross coming on the day when America commemorates those who died to preserve everyone's freedoms — not just those of the politically correct.

At first, we were mere "skeptics." Then we became "flat-Earthers." "Denier", with its Holocaust-denial implications soon followed. But none of these perjoratives worked for the climate alarmists.
Now the alarmists have re-christened skeptics as "birther-equivalents."
Well they can call us whatever names they like, but to paraphrase Galileo:
Etiam CO2 facticius non tepidus exitialis
(Still manmade CO2 doesn't cause catastrophic warming).
Posted in Climate Change, Notable/Quotable
Hurray, Chris Christie pulled New Jersey out of the Northeast's cap-and-trade program… but BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!, he's a believer in consensus science and, apparently, catastrophic manmade global warming.
While announcing that New Jersey was quitting the Regional GreenHouse Gas Initiative, Christie said,
I'm certainly not a scientist, which is the first problem. So I can't claim to fully understand all of this, certainly not after just a few months of study. But when you have over 90 percent of the world's scientists who have studied this stating that climate change is occurring and that humans play a contributing role, it's time to defer to the experts.
Yes, what logic… brilliant….I don't know anything… so rather than keeping my big fat mouth shut until I learn something, I'll side with the likes of Al Gore, Osama bin Laden, Charles Manson, the Discovery Channel gunman, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Henry Waxman, Bobby Rush and every other whacked out, intellectually and morally bankrupt believer in global warming.
Chris Christie for President? No thanks. I'll write in Kris Kringle first.

'It Emerged'
The SWIFT revelation.
10:00 AM, Jul 9, 2010 • By GABRIEL SCHOENFELD
The 9/11 Commission castigated the CIA for neglecting to collect and analyze intelligence about terrorist financing. It noted that "information about terrorist money helps us to understand [al-Qaeda] networks, search them out, and disrupt their operations." In response, the Bush administration initiated a highly secret joint CIA-Treasury program to tap into the electronic records of a Belgian financial clearinghouse known as SWIFT, which tracks the approximately $6 trillion in funds that flow among financial institutions around the world.
The New York Times revealed the existence of the SWIFT program in a front-page story in June 2006 written by Eric Lichtblau and James Risen. One of the consequences was that European governments, which had accepted the program when it was secret, were compelled to attack it and periodically shut it down. Yesterday, after a hiatus of months, the European Parliament agreed once again to let the program resume, subject to stricter controls and oversight.
The most curious aspect of this latest wrinkle in the saga is the way in which the New York Times is reporting on it. Here is a nugget from yesterday's story:
"When it emerged" is a classic in the annals of the passive voice, on a par with Richard Nixon's famous "mistakes were made" of Watergate fame. The fact is that knowledge of the SWIFT program did not simply "emerge." It was disclosed by the Times in a story that first its own ombudsman, Byron Calame, and later its general counsel, Solomon B. Watson IV, came to disavow, and one which caused severe damage to the American counterterrorism effort, damage that continues, as the Times's own reporting makes plain, to the present moment.

Predicting environmental chemical factors associated with disease-related gene expression data

BMC Medical Genomics 2010, 3:17 doi:10.1186/1755-8794-3-17Published: 6 May 2010
Many common diseases arise from an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. Our knowledge regarding environment and gene interactions is growing, but frameworks to build an association between gene-environment interactions and disease using preexisting, publicly available data has been lacking. Integrating freely-available environment-gene interaction and disease phenotype data would allow hypothesis generation for potential environmental associations to disease.
We integrated publicly available disease-specific gene expression microarray data and curated chemical-gene interaction data to systematically predict environmental chemicals associated with disease. We derived chemical-gene signatures for 1,338 chemical/environmental chemicals from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD). We associated these chemical-gene signatures with differentially expressed genes from datasets found in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) through an enrichment test.
We were able to verify our analytic method by accurately identifying chemicals applied to samples and cell lines. Furthermore, we were able to predict known and novel environmental associations with prostate, lung, and breast cancers, such as estradiol and bisphenol A.
We have developed a scalable and statistical method to identify possible environmental associations with disease using publicly available data and have validated some of the associations in the literature.

The Crimestoppers and Borger Police Department are seeking help in solving a burglary that occurred this past Monday.
On the morning of March 19, 2012, PD officers responded to a residential burglary in the 1200 block of University Place, according to Lt. Anthony Griffin of the BPD.
It appeared as though the burglary took place just shortly before officers arrived on scene. During the burglary, the suspect(s) took a pink and tan Gucci purse and wallet valued at $2,000.
An amended animal control ordinance for the City of Borger is officially moving forward.
During its regular meeting Tuesday, the Borger City Council acted to introduce an ordinance to amend the City of Borger Code of Ordinances pertaining to animal control.
Eddie Edwards, Borger City Manager, said the city's current ordinance regulating animals is located in Chapter 2 of the Code of Ordinances. He said he is not sure when the original ordinance was first adopted, but it has been modified numerous times.

Make it Green: From around the world to our garden, simplified
As I write this, my wife is in Mumbai. Suzie will spend the month of October studying Iyengar Yoga with the Iyengar family in Pune, India.
I've been on this trip twice, both times as a student, once to attend medical class, and I have to say that it is just a heck of an experience.
For Suzie, this is her 11th trip. She's a nationally recognized figure in her profession.
And while the trip is more or less routine, I have to say that when you are talking about India, "routine" takes on a more cryptic meaning.
Once you arrive in Mumbai, at about 9:30 p.m. local time, you still face a four-hour drive through the mountains to Pune. Even though you've slept on the plane, your body figures it's about 8 a.m. and so you arrive jet-lagged and, at least in my case, very, very crabby. Last time I was there, all the old hands told me to stay up, go do some yoga — that was the only way to get over the jet lag, they warned.
I went right to bed.
An interesting note: If you were to drive a line from Naples, and through the center of the earth, you would emerge in daylight very near Pune. The time difference this time of year is 10.5 or 11.5 hours.
Of course, Suzie will bring back some very interesting seeds. I mentioned Bitter Gourd a few weeks ago. I have seeds remaining, but they are now two and three years old, so germination might be low. And I'll use them, but who knows what will be added to the list?
So. You know how I always harp about making a plan before you start a gardening? Remember? Well, this goes for the veggie garden as well, and need not be complicated.
The thing about drawing is this: You only put in as much as you need the drawing to carry.
My garden plan is very rough. I'm publishing it because I want my readers to know what they need to do, and it is definitely not a complicated plan. It's not even to scale, exactly. I drew it by approximating the overall shape of the space, just visually referencing different parts of the gardening space.
Then, I adjusted the size of things I had drawn by counting my foot steps. I'm blessed with 12-inch feet. You will notice that it's messy and that I don't have room to write all the plant names, and I have to use a key system in some places. So what?
The main thing is this: I have the approximate locations, and I have the planting dates. I know the varieties. I know if I have used seeds or starter plants. It's a mess, I know, but it's for my use, and I can read it.
And the same for you. As long as you can read it, you have all you need.
I want all of my readers to send me the garden sketches they have drawn so I can put them on the Web site. Anonymously, if you wish. Or not.
But let's get some garden plans out there so people can see what to do. And send me photos of your gardens, too, and do it now before things start to grow. Nothing sweeter than a bare plot of earth turned into a huge productive garden, is there?
As usual, there's more on the Web site. Go to www.msadesign.com and click on 'Blog' on the right side near the top. And keep those comments and emails coming. I respond to all of them.

Dr. Eugene Juwah, NCC CEO
Emma Okonji
The Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Eugene Juwah, has said that the emergence of Capcom will enhance healthy competition between the operations of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM).
Juwah, who spoke with THISDAY on telephone, said he had confidence on the new CDMA operator, going by its operational plan on service rollout, which it submitted to the NCC for approval.
"Capcom is likely going to do well, based on its formation, structure, and financial strength, and I am confident with what I have seen, that it will boost competition between CDMA and GSM operations, by the time it rolls out its commercial operations," Juwah said.
Although the GSM operators and the CDMA operators had been on parallel business lines, separated by the different technologies they were using, which hitherto did not encourage competition among them, but the new trend of technology convergence has forced both operators to embrace the same technology known as the Long-term Evolution (LTE) technology that is suitable for both CDMA and GSM operations. The LTE technology, also known as the fourth generation technology (4G), is the new generation mobile technology network, which comes with all IP (Internet Protocol) wireless-enabled. LTE supports higher data rates to enable delivery of advanced broadband capabilities, enhancement of existing and new services, data-heavy multimedia services, including high quality video, enabling a seven fold increase in the number of simultaneous users on the network.
Based on the features that the 4G technology present to both CDMA and GSM operators, and the readiness of both operators to embrace the new technology, Juwah said NCC became confident that the emergence of Capcom will eventually boost healthy competition between GSM operators and the CDMA operators.
Last year, Capcom bought over three CDMA operators; MTS First Wireless, Multi-Links and Starcomms, and merged the three operators into a single and robust CDMA operator, known as Capcom.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) designate of the Capcom, Mr. Demola Elesho, had earlier told THISDAY that Capcom would roll out services by the third quarter of this year, if it was able to get all approvals from its shareholders, the NCC and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It has however gotten approval from NCC, and stakeholders of the different CDMA operators that made up Capcom, but still awaiting that of SEC before it can embark on a commercial rollout.
With the emergence of LTE technology, there is now a clear momentum behind its global deployment, which is seen as the next world mobile phone 'standard', with 35 commercial LTE networks launched in 21 countries by October 2011, including Verizon in the US and DoCoMo in Japan. The number of LTE networks globally was said to have risen in excess of 100 by the end of 2012.

|The Game Story:
| VESTAL, N.Y. -- Freshman midfielder Kevin Crowley scored 15 seconds into the first sudden-death overtime period, propelling Stony Brook (7-4, 3-1 AE) to a 7-6 win over Binghamton (3-7, 1-3 AE) in an America East Conference men's lacrosse game on Saturday afternoon at the Bearcats Sports Complex. The game was televised regionally on MSG Plus.
Crowley's game winner was set up by freshman face off specialist Adam Rand, who started the overtime period by winning the draw and scooping up the ground ball. Rand passed the ball to Crowley who stormed by the defense and netted his third goal of the game.
Binghamton had taken a 6-5 lead with 1:45 left in regulation on a goal by sophomore attack Jeff Rurey (Vestal, N.Y.). Just 56 seconds later, however, freshman attack Jordan McBride scored his third goal of the game, deadlocking the score at 6-6.
Sophomore attack Andy Cook (Vestal, N.Y.) scored three first-half goals as the Bearcats took a 4-3 lead into the break. His final goal, with 1:26 remaining, broke a 3-3 tie.
Junior midfielder Kevin Joy (Camilus, N.Y.) made it 5-3 at the 8:32 mark of the third quarter but McBride scored just eight seconds later. With 3:15 left in the third quarter, Crowley tied the game off a feed from McBride, setting the stage for the final stage of the game.
Binghamton outshot Stony Brook 35-24 but sophomore goalie Rob Camposa recorded nine saves. The Seawolves won 10 of the 17 faceoffs, including seven of eight in the second half and overtime.
Binghamton closes out its regular season schedule next Saturday at Hartford at 1 p.m.

Jeff Shannon Never Gave Up, Never Gave In
Bob Vogel | Dec 27, 2013 | Comments 2 | Send a letter to the editor
I just got the news about the death of Jeff Shannon, one of New Mobility's contributors.
Jeff and I got to know each other over the past few years. Our editor, Tim Gilmer, connected me with Jeff and at first we talked about his fight with the various severe medical challenges life has thrown at him. Then as we became friends, we talked about his life, how he carved out a good career as a writer, and the various people he met and worked with from Clint Eastwood to Roger Ebert.
For me the word "supercrip" is a badge of honor and Jeff was the ultimate supercrip — a mid-level quad working full time in a cool writing job that afforded the trappings of a good life in Seattle, home, and an adaptive van. Remember, an adaptive van's cost is equivalent to a super expensive sports car.
Talking with him I was in amazement at how he kept fighting to live and go on when, after 30 some odd years with a stable injury, he was suddenly hit with frequent bouts of autonomic dysreflexia so bad he would have to be rushed to the hospital, time and time again. He could no longer work fulltime, he was looking at losing his house, yet he never gave up and managed a comeback — blogging for Roger Ebert and making a successful return to freelancing for New Mobility.
Even when he was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia this time, his first few Facebook posts were fairly light — sort of, here we go again, gotta be here for about 10 days on antibiotics.
Jeff never gave up, never gave in, a strong soul. The systems in his body finally wore out.
As a movie fan and professional movie critic, Jeff would know this quote from The World According to Garp, where Garp's mom is explaining death to him: "You know, everybody dies. My parents died. Your father died. Everybody dies. I'm going to die too. So will you. The thing is, to have a life before we die. It can be a real adventure having a life."
Jeff lived a life in full. Hard working, he had success in a career that he loved, plus family and friends overflowing. A huge music fan, he attended many concerts, including his first Eagles concert just four months ago. Jeff chose a life that truly was a real adventure.

Thank you for writing this and for reminding us of that wonderful quote from Garp. I can't begin to express my sorrow in a way that can be meaningful after your long friendship with Jeff, but I feel his loss as I do with all of our community's losses. Always too soon and we lose the best.
Thank you, Bob Vogel, for truly "seeing" my little brother Jeff's broad scope amidst the incredibly challenging obstacles of his life. Our sister-in-law Sue told me today that Jeff was extremely clear and cogent in his last moments – I think he was seeing the next adventure in all its clarity and ever so ready.
I also think that knowing Jeff, he would be working on an article right now for NM on the afterlife if only he could – but let's hope he is cartwheeling without wheels with all his beloveds and the angels of heaven instead!

DeMarini BBCOR Bats | Youngsters' Big Barrel Bats | DeMarini Youth Bats | DeMarini Wood Bats | DeMarini Slowpitch Bats | DeMarini Fastpitch Bats | DeMarini Apparel | DeMarini Bags
One bat manufacturer that is best known for supplying power-crafted sports equipment for baseball teams, for slowpitch softball teams, and for fastpitch softball teams is DeMarini. The company, founded in 1989 by the late Ray DeMarini, is headquartered in Hillsboro, Oregon. Ever since its first bat was produced, DeMarini has specialized in making bats that simply hit home runs -- DeMarini bats are for power, not for any finesse hitting.
In 1993, DeMarini took that reputation and advanced it further by introducing double wall bats (the DeMarini Doublewall was, in fact, the world's first multi-wall bat). The ball bounced right off these bats, especially when struck on the bat's sweet spot. This advancement in the technology made some question the safety of using such bats, but that didn't stop sales from reaching more than 10,000 each year. The company was sold to Wilson Sporting Goods in 2000, but DeMarini continues to produce top-of-the-line bats, staying ahead of the competitive curve with its technology producing game-enhancing sports equipment.
Among the top bats on the market from DeMarini are those that are re-worked each season to ensure that their users get the most from every swing. The 2015 DEMARINI CF7 BBCOR sets the newest standard, not only in massive power but also in a larger price: This bat features the Paradox +Plus Composite Barrel, with its high-strength carbon fiber barrel finished with DeMarini's "Low Pro" end cap. This 2015 bat is certified by the Little League, USSSA, the AABC, and other sports entities and organizations.
What are some of the best DeMarini softball bats for softball leagues?
All around DeMarini Softball Bat
The 2015 DeMarini Ultimate Weapon Slowpitch bat (WTDXUWE-15): A 2-¼ barrel diameter bat approved for play in the following associations: ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF.
DeMarini Wood Bats
For players that need a wood bat for their softball league, the DeMarini Pro maple composite bats could be perfect. The barrel itself is made of high grade maple wood that is made to withstand swings from the entire team night after night. These bats have composite handles and are BBCOR approved. Be sure to check that your league allows composite handle construction.
DeMarini Aluminum Bats
The DeMarini Fungo is one of the best bargains and DeMarini models you can get for use in aluminum ASA leagues.
DeMarini Senior League Bats
A lot of senior slow pitch leagues require different bats than the ones used in open leagues. With that in mind, DeMarini's The 2015 DEMARINI VEXXUM Senior was designed to help allow everyone to reach for the fences. Please check with your league requirements on bat specs.

Marketing & Advertising mentor Jay Conrad Levinson responds to the following question from an inc.com user:
We are a painting contractor. Most of the marketing techniques we see used are inappropriate for our business. Our approach is not so much to sell a product as to get our foot in the door to give a bid and sell a service. What techniques would be useful in our situation?
Jay Conrad Levinson responds: Use small ads and direct mail postcards to offer free consultations. It's easy for a potential customer to accept such an offer. You're right about getting your foot in the door, and free consultations do the trick.
Using photos of your previous work during your consultations will help you close sales. You should also mention the photos in your ads in the yellow pages. These days, people do not want to take risks. Free consultations about your service help remove the risk factor. I wish you well.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — June 14, 2011- Saban Brands announced today the start of pre-production on a Christmas special featuring Julius and other beloved characters from the Paul Frank brand. This primetime event in the spirit of The Simpsons and with the heart of Modern Family is designed to enhance family entertainment and fun for viewers of all ages when it makes its debut in December of 2012.
Saban Brands has brought on a successful team of producers to bring this project to life including Mike Reiss, the Emmy-winning producer of The Simpsons and writer of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and the upcoming Ice Age: Continental Drift, as well as the Emmy-nominated producing team Erik Wiese and Cynthia True. Erik was a writer/director for the pop culture phenomenon SpongeBob SquarePants and they both served as co-creators and executive producers of Amy Poehler's hit show The Mighty B! on Nickelodeon.
Based on Paul Frank's colorful characters, the special will feature an animated Julius as he makes sure his friends have the best holiday ever, going to especially great lengths to show one special friend the true meaning of Christmas. Drawing on a long history of more than 15 years of inspiration, the special will pack pop culture fun with charm, creativity and whole-hearted sincerity that has been a staple of the brand for years.
"Paul Frank is one of our most unique and beloved properties that reaches children and adults of all ages who continue to share a passion for Julius and his loveable Friends," said Elie Dekel, President of Saban Brands. "With this holiday special we aim to establish Paul Frank as an entertainment brand with a transmedia approach that will build, enhance and extend brand affinity across our key demos."
This will be the first foray into broadcast television for Paul Frank; having produced animated web shorts featuring the iconic characters back in 2000. Saban Brands and Paul Frank will also be producing new flash-based shorts that tap into pop culture in real time, offering hilarious takes on current events. Additionally, Saban Brands plans to produce several perennial specials for 2013, including Easter and Halloween.
"What started humbly in my garage in the mid 90s is now in the hands of the entertainment industries finest," said Ryan Heuser, Chief Creative Officer of Paul Frank. "Its incredibly exciting for me to see our cast of characters brought to life for the world to enjoy."

The Business of Poverty: Obscene Salaries Dominate at Int'l Development Banks
Dominique Strauss-Kahn's lavish lifestyle is no anomaly: the U.S. taxpayer-funded IMF, World Bank, and others are handing out blood-boiling salaries and perks. Update: Congress may probe IMF's $250K golden parachute for DSK.
May 25, 2011 - 12:00 am
Many of Washington's 2,600 technocrats working at the International Monetary Fund do not regard Dominique Strauss-Kahn's lavish lifestyle as an anomaly.
Privately they admire it, recognizing it as a description of their own standard of living. They call their many unseen perks "golden handshakes." At the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, the African Development Bank, and at the IMF, you find extravagantly paid men and women who masquerade as anti-poverty fighters for the Third World. As one World Bank vice president said upon his resignation: "Poverty reduction is the last thing on most World Bank bureaucrats' minds."
These global institutions are supposed to act as non-profits, but big salaries and big perks rule as the norm. And you're paying for them: as the largest single contributor, American taxpayers pick up the tab.
By now everyone knows about DSK's extravagant $420,000 employment agreement that included an additional $73,000 for living expenses — a provision explained thusly by the IMF: "To enable you to maintain … a scale of living appropriate to your position." Most of the non-profit development world remained silent when the Fund announced a $250,000 "golden parachute" severance for the indicted managing director.
A PJM survey found that a common annual compensation package for senior management at the anti-poverty banks exceeds $500,000 — tax-free. World Bank President Robert Zoellick currently receives $441,980 in base salary and $284,500 in other benefits. Strauss-Kahn's deputy, John Lipsky, receives $384,000 in base salary plus "living allowances."
Some may argue as the IMF did that global financial leaders — even from governmental organizations – should be highly compensated. But the IMF and World Bank payments for their executives are three times the annual salary for U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and four times the salary of America's Federal Reserve governors: Bernanke's gross annual salary is set at $199,700; his governors receive $179,000.
The global banks' stratospheric governmental salaries are not limited to chief executives. Ten of Zoellick's deputies receive tax-free base pay of $321,00 to $347,000, plus enjoy an additional $210,000 in benefits. Even mid-level World Bank employees earn well into six digits: the average salary for a professional manager is $181,000, plus $97,000 in benefits. A senior adviser receives on average $238,000 plus $127,000 in benefits. A vice president receives $286,000 plus $153,000 in benefits.
The biggest hidden benefits are the off-the-book perks called "living allowances." These perks can nearly double a stated salary. Of the 2,600 IMF and 10,000 World Bank full-time employees, all receive some form of supplemental living allowances in addition to their base pay. These include home leave grants, dependent allowances, travel perks, and education "grants" for their children to attend private schools. In addition, they offer generous pensions and health insurance policies.
According to a U.S. General Accounting Office study, the average cost for these additional perks added $197,300 per employee cost beyond their base pay in 1994 dollars.
The public was awed by Strauss-Kahn's ability to secure 24-hour standby first class travel, but he has a lot of company at the IMF. In fiscal year 2010 the IMF chalked up $169 million alone in airline fees. If every single employee traveled, that would be $61,000 in travel costs per employee. By 2013 the IMF estimates their air travel budget will escalate to $191 million.
As the United States is the single biggest contributor to the IMF and the World Bank, these salaries and benefits are paid for by the U.S. taxpayers. In 2009, when the IMF increased its lending capacity to $750 billion, the U.S. increased its contributions by $100 billion. In the final U.S. fiscal year budget, while there was a 2% across the board cut in federal spending, international expenditures to the banks rose 4%.

BodyLogix: Hormonal Effects on Obesity Part 2
JENSEN BEACH - My last article dealt with hormone responses and appetite control. In the second part of this series I want to go a little deeper and demonstrate the relationships between lifestyle, appetite, obesity and disease.
There is an estimated one billion obese persons worldwide. In the U.S. alone, 65 percent of people are overweight of which 31 percent are obese. Lifestyle plays a key role in these increasing numbers. Ever see an overweight caveman? My point being, we did not have processed fast food a thousand years ago. Our ancestors worked very hard to survive and ate all the whole unprocessed food they could get their hands on.
Most view fat as just unsightly extra padding that just hangs around our midsection or thighs. However, recent research shows that fat tissue acts like other endocrine organs. Fat not only acts as an energy source, but fat secretes hormones that trigger physiological mechanisms in the body. These mechanisms regulate energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, and fat and carbohydrate metabolism and inflammation.
We learned in my previous column that Leptin and Ghrelin are hormones that engage hunger mechanisms. Ghrelin makes you eat when energy runs low. Ghrelin fluctuates both before and after food intake with an increase prior to a meal and a decrease afterwards.
The discovery of Ghrelin definitely contributed to the understanding of the regulation of appetite and eating behavior. It is produced in glandular cells of the stomach lining, but is also found in the pituitary, the hypothalamus and the pancreas.
Now, let's add a third hormone secreted by fat cells, Adiponectin. Adiponectin is a very good hormone that helps insulin utilize blood glucose (sugar) for energy storage or fuel. It also helps decrease the levels of triglycerides in the blood by helping insulin to stimulate the breakdown of fat.
What has been discovered is that overweight people have lower levels of this good hormone leading to an increase in "bad" cholesterol levels. Fat tissue also produces a number of immune system hormones. These hormones act as inflammatory proteins, reacting to infection or injury in the body.
People with excess fat appear to have a over-reaction to these proteins, hence, achy joints and muscles, (fibromyalgia,etc). Obesity and diabetes are associated with chronic inflammation and it is now understood that inflammation is a key factor in heart disease.
A corresponding decrease in the amount of these inflammatory hormones directly related to fat loss has also been noted.
It has long been known that fat deposition is highly linked to a persons health status. Fat deposited around the hips and thighs is known as Gynoid fat. This type of fat is considered to be metabolically inactive, meaning it has little function other than to pad the area.
On the other hand, fat surrounding the internal organs, known as Android or Visceral fat is much more metabolically active; this fat produces inflammatory proteins and has a strong relationship with high blood pressure, diabetes and high blood triglycerides.
This makes a strong argument about how the body distributes and uses fat and we now start to make sense of why women tend to struggle with problematic hips and thighs and men struggle with abdominal fat.
Finally, a recent 4-year study conducted by the Diabetes Prevention Program showed that just a 7% weight-loss can decrease your chances of developing Type2 Diabetes by 58%.
When you are ready to take back control of your life seek the counsel of a Licensed Certified Professional that deals with these issues every day. Avoid quick fixes and programs that want to sell you everything they have on their shelf in a package.
