|BACKGROUND: Evaluating recombinant tissue plasminogen activator utilization rates is important, as many studies have demonstrated that administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator to qualified patients significantly improves prognosis. AIMS: We investigated recent trends in the utilization and outcomes of administration of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in the United States using the National Inpatient Sample between 2001 and 2008. METHODS: We identified patients with a primary diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke who underwent treatment with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and studied utilization rates and clinical outcomes: discharge to long-term facility (morbidity), in-hospital death (mortality), and intracranial hemorrhage. Information on demographics, hospital characteristics, and comorbidities was collected. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of morbidity, mortality, and intracranial hemorrhage. RESULTS: Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator utilization increased from 1·3% in 2001 to 3·5% in 2008. On multivariate analysis, variables associated with increased morbidity after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator administration included advanced age (P < 0·001), female gender (P < 0·001), and comorbidities of atrial fibrillation (P < 0·001) and hypertension (P < 0·001). Increased mortality was associated with increased age (P < 0·001) and comorbidities of atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and diabetes (P < 0·001 for all comorbidities). CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator utilization rates increased between 2001 and 2008. Advanced age and atrial fibrillation were significantly associated with increased morbidity and mortality among patients treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.

Do you wish to create additional? If you want to create for ones task, to be able to create quickly as well as efficiently upon desire is important. We should examine three tricks which will put a person in control of your producing techniques, to help you write any moment, anyplace.
1. Writing Can be a The two Routine along with a Muscle: Train to construct Your muscle mass
Publishing ability in addition to capability normally takes time to produce; it is similar to learning how to push. When you discovered drive an automobile, you used to be attentive to every move a person built. After you would probably been driving for the couple of years, generating grew to be largely spontaneous — anyone concentrated traveling before an individual, as opposed to on which you were performing from the car.
So when you initially compose to get a work or maybe for publication (while there is one thing endangered), you are extremely informed that you will be "writing"; you are very self-conscious and also you take lots of time. However, when you finally have the writing practice, you are such as the drivers together with his face traveling — anyone target what you want to state, and claim the item. You create effectively, and you generate fast also.
Here is the best way to flip producing in a comfortable routine: take every single probability to generate, no matter if intended for function, examine as well as enjoyment. Bring any compose in addition to report along, and compose almost everywhere.
2. Producing Is often a Brain Point out: Take it easy so you can Admittance The whole Intellect
Your very best composing is finished when you're inside a talk about associated with "flow". You will be completely devoted to your producing, unacquainted with occasion passing as well as other things.
When you start to create a lot, a person endeavor to purchase a state of circulation, even though you have much more created. After some time, you realize in which movement is really a brain-state. It truly is blessed connected with fascination in addition to pleasure. Throughout move, your own appropriate mental faculties and your eventually left head communicate completely: people get access to all of your mind.
3. Producing Can be Predetermined: It's not possible to Fix That which you Tend not to Generate
The following is our last suggestion: only write. Whatever you write might be predetermined, so ignore seeking to "write effectively. " You can't accessibility your own creating human brain express once your left brain is at demand.
For that reason, relax, along with create whatever you decide and create — make use of timed no cost publishes articles to generate textual content. Some you can use in your own remaining doc, although the grade of your cost-free writes isn't essential. Your totally free writing physical exercises allow you to get to the right human brain condition, and often in to a point out associated with circulation.
If producing is really an interest available for you, maybe you hope you can allow it to become a full moment profession. Picture never being forced to travelling all over again: you'd probably preserve time. This can be time which you might commit using your spouse and children, or doing the points you like it.
Therefore we will look at how one can moonlight on your path to some creating job, and also earn more income compared to you're producing at this point.
"Moonlighting" means taking a next career to be able to health supplement your worktime job's income. Many freelance writers moonlight, after which move steady whenever they may be set. You possibly can accelerate this technique, using the following several tips.
You should involve some savings. Cut back the actual earnings people help to make coming from moonlighting right up until you could have rescued the equivalent of half a dozen months' salary. This particular that you cushion plus some stability. You may come to be ill, or perhaps a relative can be i'll, consequently acquiring savings is important.

The Giver
The haunting story of THE GIVER centers on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he is given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community. The film is based on Lois Lowry's beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes
Lois Lowry took chances with her novel. The movie of The Giver takes none. It's safe, sorry and a crashing bore.Peter Travers, Rolling Stone, 08.15.2014
For much of the movie, viewers will be asking themselves where the conflict is. And, by extension, the drama.John Anderson, Wall Street Journal, 08.18.2014
The magic gets lost in translation.Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com, 08.15.2014
The problems show up during the climactic action sequences. Logic is jettisoned and once that happens, the basic flaws in the whole scenario become all too obvious.Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald, 09.10.2014

I am so sorry for being this late in posting. I was stuck at the Ped's office with my son all morning. (bronchitis. bleh.)
Leave your tarty links here!
This post was written by LW who has written 167 posts on French Fridays with Dorie.
I have my orange-almond tart up, as well as some information about a special baking project I did for women with cancer.
Here's my link:
Yay! Here's mine: http://www.jemangelaville.com/2011/02/10/ffwd-orange-almond-tart/
I loved this. Mine was a little messy to cut into (perhaps I was too impatient to let it cool all the way?), but the flavor was wonderful!
I made this with Pears – lovely texture, flavors, & pastry!
Here's mine, along with an official recipe to make your own almond flour:
I did pears for the second one! Either way, it's wonderful!
This dessert hit the spot for me, but not for my Valentine.
I had to skip this one, for sugar is way too abundant in my life at this time of year.
Burned mine bad, but it was still tasty. LOVED the almond cream!!
Have to try this one again.
"And every day when I've been good, I get an orange after food." – Robert Louis Stevenson
Loved, loved, loved this! I made tartlets, and added a few blood orange supremes for a burst of sweet color. And I found the cutest Eiffel Tower for background decor!
I made mine with blood oranges and turned up the citrus quotient threefold!
It's good to be back and baking French pastries! This was delicious; next time I'll put more oranges in the filling and maybe bake it a little less, but other than that, it was a perfect dessert for a winter evening… and a great breakfast too.
I didn't make this week's recipe, but I'm looking forward to reading about everyone else's! Instead I wrote a tutorial for making Brown-Sugar Squash and Brussels Sprouts en Papillote.
I subbed hazelnuts for almonds and tangelos for oranges…cleaning out that fridge!
This is one of my favorites so far! It is truly an impressive dessert.
I used tangerines in mine. So delicious and quite easy!
This made me very happy!
This is my first French Fridays with Dorie, and the tart was a great way to kick things off! The hardest part for me was trying not to eat too much in one sitting.
So far, my favorite recipe:) I loved this tart! Maybe the pâte sablée was my favorite part;)
This tart reminded me of my ex boyfriend. Both are a bit fussy and take forever to get ready.
Loved this! It moves to number one on my "go to" list!
Oh , so hope ur son is fine soon :-)
My post is up too , used a pretty little fruit instead of orange:-)
I baked this a bit back , infact it was the first recipe i baked from AMft , when the book jus arrived !
SO happy to put the post up:-)
One of our favorite french friday recipes.
I hope your son feels better soon. I ate the last of the tart for breakfast today.
Don't laugh, mine is kind of wonky looking. :(
delicious! i want to try it with plums next time!
This was a great way to begin my first foray into French Friday's with Dorie! I loved this recipe. Can't wait to make this again.
Great baking experience!
Totally yum!
I made mine with pears, too…one of my favorite recipe so far:
Great recipe!
Baked in a heart tart pan, and with triple sec instead of rum.
Delicious. Almost too delicious.
Extra special French Friday because I got to meet Dorie Greenspan on my lunch break!
Super-fab desert! had a few issues with the crust, though … (going by the P&Q, it sounds like I wasn't the only one)
I hope your son feels better soon :)
Here's my link:
Made mine with hazelnuts!
Orange-Almond Tart! Oh how I love French Fridays!
Mini Orange-Almond Tarts! Happy Friday!
juicy, buttery, creamy goodness
No time to write but here's a link to my picture.
My word but that's delicious!
I used pears and had a few mishaps along the way, but it was good!
Amazing. Maybe our "favorite Friday" yet. Nana and I both LOVED it. Mmmmmm and gorgeous too.
This one was delicious:
Tasty….cheated with pre-made pie crust……mistake!
Still yummy after 3 days! (refrigerated of course!)
I loved the almond cream! Next time I'll make it with pears.
My gluten-free version didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but it just means a little more experimentation in the kitchen is needed!
Another highly involved recipe that took up most of my day, but it turned out to be the prettiest thing I've made in a while.
Wow, I have ordered my book and it is on back order…i guess that is a good thing. I can't wait to make this. There will be a lot of back cooking for me to catch up on very soon! (I made Dorie's chicken in a pot on the cover about a month ago and it was a HUGE hit.
Bonnie blog:
We loved this Orange-Almond tart and are already planning some variations with cherries, apricots..who knows! The only trouble we had was finding the almond flour called for in the recipe. We ended up grinding whole almonds in the food processor until they were flour-like (but not almond-butter). That worked out just fine. The pate sucre crust was wonderfully easy – we'll be using that for some of our other favorite tarts too!
I know I posted mine here yesterday, but call me crazy, I can't find it here. Oh well, here's to posting it again. Better late than never. This was yummy!
Orange Almond Tart meets Judy Blume. We must! We must! We must improve our crusts!
This tart is to die for!! http://www.stephsbitebybite.com/?p=1256
A day late and a dollar short … :)
My dad surprised me with blood oranges, so that's what I used. So pretty and so delicious! http://zwetschgen.blogspot.com/2011/02/orange-almond-tart-and-home.html
a day late, but done! VERY Delish!!
Here's mine – http://www.barefootkitchenwitch.com/the_barefoot_kitchen_witc/2011/02/ffwd-orange-almond-tart.html
Sorry it's late!
this is how it went this week http://musingsofbev.blogspot.com/
What a wonderful tart. Loved it!
Better late, than never, I say. I had a great experience baking the tart. I used walnuts instead of almonds (allergies) and blood oranges. Very enjoyable.
Sweet and delicious! I usually make a pate brisee tart crust with almond cream/pears. This was a nice change. The oranges were great! Loved the sweet delicate crust. Everyone loved it!
For me, this was a disaster!
I love (love!) this tart!
A little late! Love the tart filling and looking forward to trying it with other fruits.
I baked it on time, but was really late with my blog post:
All of February is posted together. The tart is one of my favorite recipes so far. Next time, I am going to try it with pears.

The first time I heard TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb was 2008 at the Blue Room in South Philly, drummer Dan Martino's former house-turned-venue, where Martino and guitarist/vocalist Dan Bruskewicz's rollicking, harmonica-charged cover of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" gave gravely blues a punk backbeat. Since then, the band—now a four-piece with Kevin Conner on lead guitar and Joshua Machiz on upright bass—has become one of the most adored acts in the city, and Thursday night, they'll drop Manufacturing Joy, their second full-length, with an album release show at Johnny Brenda's.
Although the group has a wide swath of influences, their whiskey-tinged sound is deeply rooted in the same folky Americana highlighted in musicologist Alan Lomax's classic archival field recordings from generations ago, which Bruskewicz says helped motivate the new record. "When me and Dan [Martino] first started recording, we were doing it very, very lo-fi. And what was sort of our inspiration was some of these old blues recordings. They just had one mic, and the creativity of it came from the performance, not the recording. That's what we sort of brought to it from the beginning."
The boys recorded half of Manufacturing Joy in a Fishtown warehouse and the other half on their four-track tape machine. "This time we went back to our original idea of recording very raw, and if it doesn't sound good, at least it will sound real," says Bruskewicz. Their live-in-the-studio approach is a smart one, evidenced by shit-kickers like "Friday Night Guy" or the alluring beauty of opener "Rock 'N Roll Club Bathroom Cocaine Blues."
Although the band is self-releasing Joy for download on Bandcamp and iTunes, the CDs for sale at their party will feature bonus tracks and extra artwork at a lower price. Bruskewicz and I note that while CDs are becoming outdated, bands continue to release their music on older formats, like cassette tapes. When I joke that Edison wax cylinders will be the next wave, Bruskewicz laughingly confesses they've already considered it. "A friend of mine actually said that the other day, that we should just start recording everything on wax cylinders. We'd spend $100,000 and just make five and sell them for $50,000 apiece. Then we'll start a new trend."

How iPad Behaves to Direct Sunlight Exposure
by Hiroshi on May 3rd, 2010
Can you read the Apple iPad display while outdoors under Sunlight? Do you need to be in the shade or can you see it under the full sun? What if you are in the bright desert with an iPad?
Reading the iPad under sunlight exposure is acceptable and if you adjust iPad application font size to make larger than average and increase screen brightness all the way up, then it's more easy to read.

Midsize family sedans sell better than any other segment on the market. They are built to be an everyman's car, providing enough space to serve without complaint as the only vehicle for the average family. In recent years, competition has heated up such that a large interior, big trunk and comfortable ride are no longer enough to top the class. Today's top midsizes also offer hybrid-like fuel efficiency, sporty driving dynamics and all the comforts of a good luxury car.
In the last couple of years, each major player in the midsize sedan game has come out with an all-new model. Here are our top 5 choices for family four-doors, any of which will make a fine next vehicle.
Value extends to fuel economy, too. As manufacturers race to improve their numbers, Accord and Altima breach the 30mpg combined rating and the other contenders aren't far behind. Overall, the competition in this class is fierce, but it's the buyer who gets the victory. Here are the Top 5 midsize sedans on the market today.
The Mazda6 with SKYACTIV technology is the newest redesigned midsize sedan to come to market, making the choice even more difficult for those seeking a sporty, practical ride. Arguably the most exciting product to come out from Mazda since the legendary RX-7, the new 6 is the very definition of over-engineering, a long list of virtues highlighted by light weight, a very responsive 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (170 horsepower, up to 26 city/38 highway mpg) and slick-shifting six-speed automatic and manual transmissions. As of launch time, the 2.5 is the only available engine choice, though a 2.2-liter turbo-diesel will arrive later in 2013, bringing more than 300 lb-ft. of torque, greater than 40 highway mpg and placed as the high-performance choice within the range. While the previous-generation Mazda6 was a great car saddled by a cutesy, unattractive exterior design, the new 2014 model is eclipsed only by the Fusion as the class's most beautiful offering, its long, low-slung design accentuated by curves in all the right places. That commitment to style extends to the interior, which is well thought-out if a little lacking in whiz-bang tech features. Rear seat legroom is admirable. The base "Sport" model is inexpensive, though note that most available luxury and convenience features are only offered on the higher trim levels.
EPA-rated fuel economy: Up to 28 city/38 highway.

The Ford Fusion is all-new for 2013, and represents a quantum leap forward over the undistinguished model it replaces. Any discussion of the new Fusion must start with its sleek, luxury car-like exterior design, which has shades of Jaguar and Aston Martin and makes most other midsizes look boring and conservative by comparison. Among a trio of engine choices, the mid-priced 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder offers the best blend of performance and efficiency, bringing 180 horsepower and up to 25 city/37 highway mpg, though note that you will need to shell out around $2,500 more than the base 2.5-liter "S" model for a Fusion SE with the 1.6 EcoBoost engine. As with Ford's smaller Focus, handling performance is excellent for the class, with a tightly sprung suspension that still does an admirable job soaking up bumps and road imperfections. On the inside, the Fusion continues to impress, with a class-leading commitment to interior tech. The SYNC with MyFord Touch infotainment system may not be for everyone, but for those who are never without their iPads, it's a sophisticated, fully featured experience that's become easier to use with recent updates. You'll also find available features like a 12-speaker premium audio system with HD radio, remote start, keyless entry and start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and interior ambient lighting. The Fusion lags a little behind the Accord and Volkswagen Passat in the look and feel of interior materials, especially in the lower-priced trim levels.
EPA-rated fuel economy: Up to 22 city/33 highway/26 combined mpg (2.0-liter FWD) or 22 city/34 highway/26 combined mpg (2.5-liter FWD).

Redesigned for the 2013 model year and bringing a host of improvements over the outgoing model, the Accord is our confident top choice for economical midsize family sedans. At the lower trim levels, Honda pairs its new 185-horsepower Earth Dreams 2.4-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder engine with either an unobtrusive CVT or a six-speed manual transmission for up to 27 city/36 highway mpg. For those craving a little more passing power, the 3.5-liter V6 model offers 278 horses while still returning up to 21 city/34 highway mpg. Sharp exterior styling is joined by a spacious interior with top-shelf material quality. For families with growing teens, or who need seating capacity for five full-size adults, the Accord's roomy back seat is a welcome change from sedans with tighter proportions like the Chevrolet Malibu and Hyundai Sonata. In the realm of interior technology, Honda doesn't break much new ground, but the total navigation and infotainment package is intuitive and works as it should. Standout features include a class-exclusive blind-spot monitoring camera and the i-MID display, which shows the info you use the most high on the dash for quick reference. And unlike its competitors, the Accord is once again available as an attractive two-door coupe, still maintaining good rear seat room and a truly sporty choice when fitted with the V6 and manual transmission.
EPA-rated fuel economy: Up to 27 city/36 highway/30 combined mpg (2.4-liter with CVT)

The Nissan Altima has always been one of the sportier choices in the midsize sedan segment, its powerful engines and capable chassis setting the bar with each new generation. Redesigned for 2013, the Altima once again finds its way near the top of the class. The manual transmission choice has been dropped, leaving the excellent 2.5-liter four-cylinder (182 horsepower) and CVT transmission combo as the entry-level choice. Nissan's continuously variable automatic, which uses a sub-planetary gear to widen available gear ratios and better mimic the feel of a traditional automatic, is the best we've tried, and helps four-cylinder models achieve an outstanding 27 city/38 highway mpg. Not only are these efficiency figures the class's best, but you do not need to pay extra for engine or transmission upgrades to attain them. The highly responsive 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine (22 city/31 highway mpg) shares lineage with the slightly larger motor you'll find in the Nissan 370Z and Infiniti G. Nissan calls its interior seating "Zero Gravity", reminding us they were developed using input from NASA to provide maximum comfort on long drives. And drive you shall, as the Altima's spritely handling encourages taking the long way home. Rear legroom is average, and interior tech is passable if not revolutionary, though the navigation, high-end audio and other premium upgrades are competitively priced, meaning a loaded Altima will be easier on the wallet than with most competing models.

The venerable Toyota Camry has been the top-selling passenger car in the U.S. nearly every year since the early 1990s, and it's easy to see why. Toyota has the midsize family sedan formula down pat, and doesn't need to rely on look-at-me styling to sell hundreds of thousands each year. The Camry is built like a tank, and thanks to Toyota's legendary reliability, affordable parts, excellent resale value, and 2 years of Toyota Care free scheduled maintenance, this overachieving midsize offers one of the lowest total costs of ownership on the market. You'll find the choice of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder (178 horsepower, 25 city/35 highway mpg) or a 3.5-liter V6 (268 horsepower, 21 city/31 highway mpg), either coming paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. The current model debuted for 2012, and sees a couple of updates for 2013 that improve upon interior design, material quality and technology. Toyota's touchscreen Display Audio system now comes standard even on the base "L" trim, and hard plastic surfaces have been replaced with soft-touch materials. When fitted with the optional Entune smartphone-pairing infotainment module, Display Audio comes to life with internet radio and tons of convenience apps. Built for comfort rather than corner-carving performance, the Camry can be dull and even a little disconcerting if driven hard, but with so much to like about this award-winning midsize, most owners won't care.

Current Research
I'm a sociocultural political anthropologist broadly interested in questions of power, structural and political violence, political economy, and the construction of inequalities. I conduct research in Guatemala, Mexico and the United States, on migration, security, human rights and the state.
My monograph, Maya After War: Conflict, Power and Politics (University of Texas Press 2013), is based on two decades of fieldwork in Guatemala. From the back cover: Guatemala's thirty-six-year civil war culminated in peace accords in 1996, but the postwar transition has been marked by continued violence, including lynchings and the rise of gangs, as well as massive wage-labor exodus to the United States. For the Mam Maya municipality of Todos Santos Cuchumatán, inhabited by a predominantly indigenous peasant population, the aftermath of war and genocide resonates with a long-standing tension between state techniques of governance and ancient community-level power structures that incorporated concepts of kinship, gender, and generation. Showing the ways in which these complex histories are interlinked with wartime and enduring family/class conflicts, Maya After War provides a nuanced account of a unique transitional postwar situation, including the complex influence of neoliberal intervention.
My current research examines the nexus of migration and security-making practices and considerations among migrants in the US and the communities from which they hail in Central America and Mexico, and how concepts of rights and generation figure in these. Another research interest is the contemporary state and modes of belonging and citizenship.
Since 2007, I've worked with colleagues from UAlbany and at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico, DF researching Mexican and Central American migration to the New York State capital region, and the issue of health care access.
I provide expert testimony for asylum and immigration cases, and consult for NGOs and international organizations, including the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (since 2001.)
My research has received external support from Fulbright, Wenner Gren, Programa de Investigación de Migración y Salud (PIMSA) and the Gerda Henkel Foundation.

That's not true. I am in Canada, I went to see it with my boyfriend and another friend of mine. It was definitely playing in Mississauga and Toronto.
In fact, i got to see it twice... because the next week after, they were supposed to be playing an anniversary edition of Wrath of Khan, and they couldn't find the movie and ended up playing TNG S1 again. lol
Sorry, I've addressed this in other threads in more detail so perhaps I wasn't clear. 'Cineplex Odeon' carried Season 1 in Western and Central Canada because there was a distributor. We don't have Cineplex Odeon on the east coast. I'm talking about 'Empire Theaters', which is our only option on the East Coast of Canada. When I contacted Empire about carrying Season 1, they said they had no screens to carry it because of The Dark Knight taking up all of their resources...which seemed like a lame reason considering it's a one night event. When I asked them about carrying Season 2, they now say there is no distributor for Season 2 in Canada and they won't be carrying it either.

Researchers Develop First Mouse Model of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
PHILADELPHIA (March 5, 2003) — Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers and their colleagues have developed a mouse model of the most prevalent and deadly form of human ovarian cancer -- epithelial ovarian cancer. The mouse model provides a better opportunity to study the cause of ovarian cancer, examine the genes involved and test preventive, diagnostic and treatment approaches that could be applied to human ovarian cancer.
"These transgenic mice offer us a valuable scientific tool that never before has been available to ovarian cancer researchers," explained Fox Chase Cancer Center's Denise C. Connolly, PhD, corresponding author of the study, which appears in the March 15, 2003, issue of Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
The mice engineered by Connolly and her colleagues develop epithelial ovarian cancer in both ovaries. This cancer arises in the surface, or epithelial, cells of the ovaries. The mouse model was made by introducing a genetically engineered DNA fragment into fertilized mouse eggs prior to their embryonic development. The fragment is a combination of a gene specific promoter and a potent oncogene. The oncogene, Simian virus 40 T antigen, triggers cancer development. The promoter is derived from a gene (Mullerian inhibitory substance type II receptor) that signals the expression of a specific protein found in cells covering the ovaries.
"It was critical to attach the oncogene to a regulator that would limit the cancer-causing gene's expression to the ovary, including the epithelial ovarian cells," explained Connolly. "Using this strategy, we have generated transgenic animals that develop epithelial ovarian cancer that spreads to the peritoneal organs, similar to human epithelial ovarian cancers."
In humans, epithelial ovarian cancer is diagnosed in approximately 23,000 women each year. In 2003, it is estimated that 14,000 women will die of the disease, making it the fifth most common cancer in women in the United States.
Early detection of these tumors is challenging because there is no standard screening available for the disease. When ovarian cancer is diagnosed at early stages, the survival rate approaches 90 percent. However, the vast majority of cases of ovarian cancer are not identified until late stages, when the survival rate drops to only 30 to 40 percent.
"The development of mouse models of epithelial ovarian cancer may significantly facilitate advances in early detection and treatment of the disease," said Thomas C. Hamilton, PhD, senior member of the medical science division at Fox Chase Cancer Center and leader of the ovarian cancer research program. "Models such as this are critical to cancer research because they will allow us to study the progression of ovarian cancer from the very earliest stages to advanced disease.
"The next step is to test chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive agents that we hope will translate into meaningful improvements in the prevention and treatment of ovarian cancer. We'll also study the relevant oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes for their ability to allow or trigger the cancer to develop," Hamilton added.
Other contributing researchers include Rudi Bao, MD, Kasie C. Stephens, Timothy W. Poole, PhD, Xiang Hua and Skye S. Harris of Fox Chase Cancer Center; Alexander Yu. Nikitin, MD, PhD, of Cornell University; and Barbara C. Vanderhyden, PhD, of the University of Ottawa.
Funding for this research is provided in part by a grant from the National Cancer Institute's Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium (MMHCC), of which Hamilton is a member. Mouse models that recapitulate many aspects of the genesis, progression and clinical course of human cancers are valuable resources to cancer researchers engaged in a variety of basic, translational, clinical and epidemiological investigations. MMHCC is a collaborative program designed to derive and characterize mouse models and to generate resources, information and innovative approaches to the application of mouse models in cancer research.
Additional grants supporting Dr., Hamilton's research were received from the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute Specialized Program of Research Excellence for ovarian cancer, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Edgar Astrove, the Adler Foundation and the Evy Lessin Fund.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, part of the Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation's first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase was also among the first institutions to be designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are also routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center's nursing program has received the Magnet recognition for excellence four consecutive times. Today, Fox Chase conducts a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship, and community outreach.

Picture this. It's late afternoon and the beach is full. You are in a comfy chair, drink in hand, waiting for the sun to set. Relaxed?
Okay, let's add to the picture. How about a manicure while you wait? Perhaps a foot massage?
Still relaxed?
Here's how it actually happened.
Yes it was late afternoon, and yes I did indeed have drink in hand. We were SWARMED by ladies and children from the second our toes hit the sand. Followed up the beach until we found a bar to sit outside. Yes I did have a manicure and yes I did have my legs massaged. By four people at the same time.
Sounding slightly less relaxing? Okay. Did I mention that the leg massaging ladies who now numbered two decided that my previously waxed legs (done by myself as you may recall) were very hairy. I dispute this, but nonethless by mutual consensus it was decided (by them) that this needed to be dealt with. With wound cotton. Sound odd? Yes it was.
Anyway there I was legs akimbo, fingers splayed and along come more ladies. "You say yesterday you no want manicure? Why you have manicure now? Why you not like me?"
Along come a band, yes a band of kids. "You remember me? I saw you yesterday. Why you not buy bracelet from me?" because yes, I was sporting by this stage four of them.
Shall we then go on to describe the scene? Nine people surrounded the three ring circus that was me. I couldn't move and couldn't understand anything that was being said, because lazy ass me failed to learn even the most basic Cambodian phrases before I went away. All I knew was that all was not so happy. Scuffles were involved and just a tiny bit of shouting. And I hadn't really wanted any of it to start with (although how can you say no to a manicure once the polish has been removed from two fingers before you realise what is going on?).
Because I am, gasp, 38, and not 13, I declined the offer of flowers on my nails, but am happy with my now pretty fingers!

Update, Sept. 12: Twitter Inc. filed to go public after markets closed today. Long expected, it's the kind of official filing that a couple of years ago would have elicited a voluminous discussion of financial performance. Some of that will still happen, but not yet — because the details of Twitter's filing are confidential, thanks to the JOBS Act.
Designed to foster more IPOs for "emerging growth" companies, the IPO provisions of the law have become a way for most companies that want to go public do so with less investor scrutiny. The new rules have cut the time that all that information is available to the public to three weeks before the roadshow.
Issuers naturally love this. They have the chance to address issues before investors start gnawing on them. Probably more important, shortening the time that investors have to chew over the details suits the rhythm of the investing news cycle. Instead of letting investors get bored with an IPO over a period of months, it lets companies build up excitement in a short period before the offering. That certainly makes IPOs easier to pull off. In this post, The Market Now addressed whether easier IPOs are good for investors. Spoiler: They're not.
PS: Matt Levine at Bloomberg View doesn't buy the argument that less time for investors to digest Twitter's prospectus will be an issue for anyone. Says Levine, "You get a month to read the prospectus. That is enough, I promise you. It's not gonna be that interesting." True! That issuers love the new 'confidential' IPO rules, though is pretty clear: they're certainly using them enough. Twenty-one days is plenty of time to analyze the financials. Is it enough time to get bored with the IPO? I'll bet that Facebook would have been thrilled to compress the news cycle instead of having critics jawboning over its amendments and financial for an extra two months.
Bloomberg's Lee Spears and Noah Buhayar today report on the coming initial public offering of Third Point Reinsurance Ltd., a Bermuda insurance company backed by hedge fund manager Dan Loeb. Third Point Re.'s path to an IPO has been eased by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups — aka the JOBS Act. Spears and Buhayar point out that with just 17 employees, including 16 in Bermuda, Third Point Re isn't exactly a major engine of U.S. job creation.
The IPO provisions of the JOBS act, sold as a way to stimulate the growth of U.S. companies, have effectively become an easier default path to the public markets. Spears and Buhayar raise an important questionabout job creation. There's another question worth raising about the JOBS act IPOs: who in heaven's name thought that it was a good idea to make IPOs easier in the first place?
The basic problem with IPOs isn't that they are too hard. It's that they are too easy. In general, newly public companies tend to underperform the market. And the earlier companies go public the worse they tend to fare. Take a look at the chart below, based on the invaluable data that University of Florida professor Jay Ritter has compiled on long-run IPO performance.
The chart shows the three year returns of initial public offerings from their first day close, based on the company's sales in the year leading up to the IPO. Companies that went public between 1980 and 2011 with sales of under $10 million (adjusted to 2005 dollars) had a three year return a full 47.3 percent below the market. Companies with sales of $10 million to $20 million underperformed the market by 36.5 percent. And so on … until we finally reach the biggest IPOs, the only category to do better than the market.
What this chart doesn't show is that it's the companies with sales of under $50 million that had the biggest first day pops, 23.3 percent on average. You can see Ritter's full study on his website; it's worth looking at for anyone interested in IPOs. Essentially, the "emerging" companies favored by the JOBS Act wind up returning more for favored banking clients who get them on the first day, and doing badly for long term buy-and-hold investors
In addition to creating unexpected beneficiaries like Dan Loeb, the easier IPO terms of the JOBS Act lower a bar that was already low. Many of the most successful technology IPOs — think Google — have been for companies that were earning money. By contrast, companies that couldn't handle the (not-so-great) burdens of the old IPO rules most likely have no business going public. There have always been plenty of startups eager to tap the public markets early in their development. That doesn't mean investors or regulators are wise to let them.

Mayor Bloomberg claims that any organization can cut 1.7% from its budget with "no impact whatsoever," and it's certainly been a long time since the mayor lived hand to mouth. But yes, it does seem that the Department of Education could do that.
The DOE budget has increased by $4.5 billion since the mayor took over. It has been showered with Caroline Kennedy money, Gates money, Broad money and other people's money. The Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit netted the city another $3.2 billion over five years. And there is all the spending: 250 new schools, $80 million on ARIS, 10 new tests a year, the consultants (remember Alvarez and Marsal's clever bus rerouting in the dead of winter last year?), a bunch of lawyers, cash rewards for test scores, and a central office that has swelled by almost 200 in five months (and whose doings are too-often shrouded in mystery).
But it was not in the central office that the midyear cuts landed. The administration claimed it had trimmed some, but the real impact, $100 million, landed squarely on the schools, amounting to more than $400,000 in some and sparing none. Plus, it came down in an exceptionally nasty way. The DOE unceremoniously broke into every "empowered" school's piggy bank overnight and and took out 1.75 percent of its current operating budget. Meanwhile, the state and city together have planned another $700 million in cuts next year. Neither the principals union nor the UFT were amused.
Now, why can't we all be team players? The economy is pretty clearly tumbling into recession, with historically high energy prices, an historically weak dollar and a historically incompetent president. Surely we must all face the same economic reality.
Well, not really. Not really, Mr. Mayor. While the stock market rose into the stratosphere, the schools remained severely underfunded. Finally, with the CFE settlement, we saw a pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel. Starting less than a year ago, New York City schools were promised a better future, and were just starting to put in place the spending plans that could address their students' needs when these cuts landed. Achievement is still stagnant, the high schools are badly overcrowded, the 4-year graduation rate is still only about 50% and we need $13 billion in new facilities.
Compare that with the "other half" of the city, which has been living so ridiculously high off the hog for the last couple of decades that many of them forgot what a real budget was. Hardship for some is hunger, for others it's selling the ski house.
Students and city workers didn't make this recession. They may have seen the value of their homes or their retirement savings go down on paper, and if they are in a lot of debt they are surely worried. But it is creditors, not debtors, who make recessions. It's the banks, the corporate finance departments, the big investors, the hedge funds, the deal makers, the consultants, the lawyers and their many service provider hangers-on who are suddenly out of dough.
So what, you could say. Tax revenues from them keep the city coffers stoked, and if they're broke we soon will be. Well, true. But that's because they will pass on the pain, not because we will incur it. They won't make loans; they'll call in the debts; they'll insist on cuts in services (though not theirs). Only they don't say they are passing it on. They say that we all have to "share the pain." It's only right.
Bull—-. The distribution of wealth in this city is so unbalanced that calling for civic workers, the poor, and especially their children to "share the pain" with investment bankers is just contemptible.
Here we are sharing their pain when we don't even know what's going down. The city had four billion extra dollars a year ago, now it's short four billion for fiscal 2010? Quite a turnaround. The DOE upped spending by $4.5 billion and schools have to halt their afterschool programs right now?
We are not sharing the pain, we are bearing the pain, those who can least afford to. Notice DOE didn't cut its overpaid consultants, and its data gathering and monitoring are proceeding unscathed. It is this that has enraged educators and could lead to a real break in city unions' historical willingness to help out in recessionary times. Let's hope it doesn't get to that.
Let's restore the schools budgets, hold them harmless for once, and keep the promises we made to the city's kids. That, rather than a management exercise in "trimming" 1.7%, seems like a goal worth achieving.

The Babylonian Captivity of Washington
The most troubling prerogative of modern government is the ability of the sovereign or head of state to go to war. War means death, debt, and, if the decision is a bad one, the very end of civil society and the prevailing political order. Because war is potentially so terrible, a number of nations have curtailed the ability of the executive authority to make such a decision without first satisfying conditions imposed through constitutional and other political restraints. It is perhaps ironic that the world's oldest republic, the United States, has ignored its own constitution to grant to the president the authority to enter into armed conflict through the simple expedient of not actually declaring war. America has been de facto at war continuously since 2001 and the recent National Defense Authorization Act has codified an unending conflict in which the whole world is a battlefield and everyone in it is a potential enemy combatant subject to no constitutional or legal protection.
Many critics of the perennially lopsided relationship that the United States enjoys with Israel have noted a disturbing shift in the relationship during the first three years of the Obama Administration. To be sure, Obama appears to genuinely dislike Israel's arrogant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a sentiment that is fully reciprocated. But Obama is bound hand and foot into an engagement with Israel in which he lacks leverage over what might or might not take place. Even George W. Bush was able to say no to Israel when it was mooted that Tel Aviv might attack Iran, but Obama has painted himself into a corner where the United States has little influence over what might occur. Whether the Obama reticence is due to the control exercised by his Chicago billionaire patrons, the Crown and Pritzker families, both of which are strong supporters of the Middle East status quo, or whether it is just a more generalized fear about what might happen in the upcoming national elections, the result has been paralysis in Washington. Recent war games conducted by the Pentagon have confirmed that a new conflict with Iran started by Israel would quickly draw the United States in and would become regional in nature. The war would not produce a good result for anyone involved and would be particularly bad for the United States, which would again slide into deep recession as energy prices soar.
So Israel can start a war and the United States can do nothing to stop it and will become a major victim of whatever plays out. If that is true, why is the mainstream media ignoring the story? The account of the disturbing Pentagon war games did indeed appear in the New York Times and was picked up in a number of other places, but it quickly died out, as always happens with stories that are critical of Israel and its policies. Supporters of Israel might also be quick to note that the hue and cry against another war is largely coming from the usual suspects who are philosophically opposed to interventionism, including supporters of Ron Paul and a number of contributors to this website. But given their underlying pretense that the US is supporting Israel due to its own national interests, perhaps they should take another look at a document that recently surfaced on WikiLeaks. The document enables one to better understand that where Israel leads in foreign and security policy the United States will inevitably follow.
The summary of the Secret message, which I reproduce in full, is:
"SECRET cable from U.S. Embassy, Tel Aviv, dated 12 December 2009.
"1. (S) Summary: Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Ellen Tauscher visited Israel December 1-2. U/S Tauscher focused her visit on setting the stage for a successful Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference (RevCon) in May 2010. She consulted with GOI interlocutors on potential strategy in addressing Egyptian insistence on pushing for the establishment of a nuclear weapon free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, as a way to divert attention from Iran to Israel. U/S Tauscher reiterated that the United States will not take any action to compromise Israel's security and would consult closely with Israel — which GOI officials greatly appreciated. Nevertheless, U/S Tauscher said the United States is interested in exploring possible small steps involving Israel to address some of Egypt's NWFZ concerns regarding the lack of implementation of the 1995 resolution. GOI officials for the most part were critical of these tactics, questioning why Israel should be portrayed as part of the problem. They recommended a more direct approach to President Mubarak — thereby circumventing the Egyptian MFA — in which Egypt is reminded that Iran is the regional nuclear threat. Other topics discussed include President Obama's arms control and nonproliferation agenda, the P5 1 process and Iran's nuclear program, the FMCT and CTBT, Jordan's plans for a nuclear reactor, and Israel's qualitative military edge (QME)."
Washington is sacrificing a vital interest, control of nuclear proliferation through the establishment of a nuclear free zone, to protect Israel's ability to remain a secret nuclear power and dominate its neighbors. Read the message any way one wishes, but it would seem clear that Washington is colluding with Israel to shield the latter's nuclear program from any scrutiny, a successful Non-Proliferation conference being one in which Israel is not discussed at all. If the US is seriously interested in limiting the spread of nuclear weapons one would think that Israel's program is part of the problem, but Israel is making clear that any such suggestion is unacceptable and the Obama Administration agrees without pushing any alternative policy. Tauscher even goes one step further, pledging Washington to never act in any way that would "compromise Israel's security" (as defined by Israel itself).
Tauscher and her Israeli interlocutors prefer to shift the narrative to Iran and do it through the back door by ignoring the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and explaining things to President Hosni Mubarak, who is presumed to be sympathetic. Iran, or course, did not then and does not now have any nuclear weapons and no nuclear program while Israel has hundreds of nukes and both missiles and submarines to deliver them with, but facts shouldn't intrude into a friendly discussion between friends. It is also interesting to note how Israel's "qualitative military edge" is so much a part of US security doctrine that it has its own acronym – QME.
The Babylonian Captivity is a biblical reference to the conquest of the ancient Israelites by the Babylonians, after which the people of Israel were allegedly removed from their homes and physically transferred to Babylon. A later so-called Babylonian Captivity refers to the abduction of the Medieval papacy, which occurred in 1309 when the French King Philip IV moved the pope and most of his cardinals lock stock and barrel to the delightful city of Avignon, where they remained for 68 years before the Holy See was restored to Rome. The French sought to use the powerful papacy with its vast bureaucracy to support their own foreign policy ambitions. It is perhaps not an inappropriate metaphor for what has occurred between Washington and Tel Aviv, with key decision making for the United States now being transferred to Israel. The State Department message clearly reveals that when it comes to foreign policy the American people are no longer masters of their own destiny and at best can only negotiate issues with the Israelis while at the same time issuing a carte blanche in support of anything Tel Aviv chooses to do.
If the Republicans gain the White House in November things will only get worse, as Mitt Romney has explicitly stated that he would defer to Israel on all Middle Eastern security issues. Perhaps it is time for a wake-up call in the United States. Instead of presidential wannabes declaring their subservience to Tel Aviv, they should perhaps begin emphasizing that they will only act in the future in the interests of the American people. To do so would exclude an unnecessary war against Iran, which would be both a shameful action and also the next major step in bringing our country to its knees. Most Americans choose to think that foreign policy does not really impact on their daily lives, but they are wrong to believe so. War in the Middle East and Asia have destroyed the US economy and moved America closer to a police state. Telling Israel clearly and emphatically that it is on its own if it wishes to dominate its neighbors and go to war would restore much need perspective and would do much to right the ship of state back here in the US.

Well said Mr. Giraldi. Sadly the ruling elite in Babylon-On-The-Potomac scrape and bow, with much groveling obeisance, to the Israelis and America is stuck with the consequences. Yeah and, we get to pay for that as well.
To this day, I can't for the life of me figure out WHAT the Israelis hold over imperial Washington. Must be something so hideous, that bravehearts like Barack the Beneficent, are too freaking timid to challenge a murderous punk like Netanyahu.
Damn shameful.
What I want to know is how did this happen? How did we get to this point in such a relative short time. Who decided that from now on US foreign policy would be drafted by likud? How come everyone else in the government just went along with it? Why didn't anyone raise the alarm?
In way it's typical for the way America works. Want a recommendation letter? Write it yourself and so and so will sign it. Who gets to write laws regarding banking and finance? wall street. and the cowards in the Congress and the White House robosign it. A plan to help the elderly with meds? Written by big pharma and happily approved by the whores in DC. Conflict of interest becomes the accepted norm and the way legislation happens in the US. Perhaps it's no surprise the US foreign policy gets to be written by the one nation that stands to benefit the most from it. And as always, it's the American people who pay the price. The purpose of all domestic legislation is to benefit the 1%. When it comes to foreign affairs, 0.001% of the world's population stands to benefit.
One thing the Israelis hold over America is the U.S. tax dollars they receive to be used to fund congressional campaigns wiith the stipulation that each member of Congress will vote to support any requests from the Government of Israel. If a member does not follow the script provided by AIPAC, money will be given to whomever is opposing that member in the next election. Findley of Illinois is one instance of a member removed through AIPAC's efforts and also provided an example to each member of Congress the same actions to remove them would be used to defeat that member. Giraldi knows this and all congressional representatives know what they must do to hold their seats.
Obama has been in the pocket of the Zionist branch of the Chicago Machine ever since he first ran for office. I think he is sick of being their step and fetchit, but has no idea about how to get out of their clutches. Romney is pledging undying support of Israel. But he is a very rich man, with a powerful backing from the Mormons, and the Anglo elites. I don't think he likes being Tel Aviv's lackey any more then Obama does. Perhaps this captivity will be shorter then we think. I sure hope to see it's end soon. Maybe they are finally overplaying their hand.
israel is a militarist racist apartheid state. It is immoral, unjust and downright ugly. While stopping short of total naziism, israel, and its founding ideology, adopt the same principles as the nazis; namely :1) the belief that it is their divine right to create a purified ethnically cleansed state based on some made up racial classification. 2) the expansion of that state through stolen land based on the principle of lebensraum for the superior race. and 3) a perceived divine right to use any degree of violence and or injustice to achieve goals 1 and 2.
any human being, whether calling themselves a christian, muslim or jew or hindu or Buddhist, who support this evil in any way, are warped human beings
needless to say, we are completely on the wrong side through our support for this abomination
Right on, Philip! I will add that if we can fix the 1st problem (media control) the 2nd problem (Middle East war) will be solvable.
Some good questions and comments, and the cable itself reads more clearly if you make minor substitutions, as in:
"Nevertheless, U/S Tauscher said that West Israel is interested in exploring possible small steps involving East Israel to address some of Egypt's NWFZ concerns regarding the lack of implementation of the 1995 resolution. "
At this late stage an outright name change for the US wouldn't much matter.
Guenter Grass has perhaps understated the threat Israel and its minions pose for the world.
The English political writer John Gray once wrote words to the effect that "giving a tribe of Baloba monkeys arms" would lead to the extermination of other species. In the grisly conditions of the west and the Middle East, an apt parallel would be "giving the tribe of Israel weapons of mass destruction" has a strong chance of leading to the destruction of the rest of us.
As Philip Giraldi points out…Israel is the tail that wags the US dog! It is about time that the gutless US politicians tell Israel who is boss. if Tel Aviv wants to go to war, fine, but then let us tell them to go it on their own and not expect the US to haul their collective chestnuts out of the proverbial fire! When it comes to Israeli foreign policy, I cannot but remember the USS Liberty when Israeli jets attacked a US ship and then strafed the US Navy personnel who tried to abandon ship and climb into into life rafts.
The best part is, the old Hebrews who want to maintain this unsustainable status quo are, in the long run, helping to bury this country under the weight of the history you described.
"any human being, whether calling themselves a christian, muslim or jew or hindu or Buddhist, who support this evil in any way, are warped human beings"
You are a 1000% correct on that one!
"So Israel can start a war and the United States can do nothing to stop it and will become a major victim of whatever plays out."
I love Phil Giraldi but I think this is not as foregone conclusion as many might think. People will NOT stand for $10/gallon gas, food prices rocketing into the stratosphere for millions in the US already teetering on economic collapse. Obama may be a spineless douche when it comes to his jewish paymasters, but there is only so much domestic heat that he will allow himself to be cooked under for the tiny apartheid state on the Eastern Mediterranean.
Israel learned very well from the Gestapo. They must have files on the whole political class in the US. Israel has bribed, stole, assassinated and debased everything on its path. Most often the US goes along willingly, but there are instances when it is dragged, especially when the policies to be implemented are against American national interests.
The scary but inevitable thing to me, is that standing up to Israel, now that the insult of Israeli domination of the US Govt has become so overt, is likely some time soon to become a political opportunity for an enterprising demagogue. (In the current post-holocaust "narrative", this political "opportunity" is seen as "scapegoating" and "anti-Semitism". But now that the truth is emerging from the fog of that "narrative", we're beginning to grasp the "why" behind so-called "anti-Semitism:it arises from the abusive domination of a larger nation — here and now, the US — through subversion, in this case, by AIPAC-focused campaign contributions funded by the US Jewish community.)
So maybe anti-Semitism isn't entirely about baseless irrational animus, but rather about a five-thousand year pattern of abusing the locals.
And of course, the necessary full disclosure: I'm a Jew, … and I absolutely repudiate and oppose Zionist criminality.
Exactly. It is the exemplar of simplicity.
The Chinese have a saying: "Strangle the chicken to frighten the monkey."
I'd like to see chapter two of the "Liberty Saga": Recalibrating the "Special Relationship".
The US green-lights an Israeli attack on Iran, and then promptly shoots down the entire fleet of Israeli aircraft,…and then insists it was "an accident".
It is considered quite natural to sell out American citizens for money to get elected, re-elected and as with the case of Israel Washington now owes its soul to the company store – Netanyahu is just the present "collector."
The old Soviet-era GRU had a simple plan when they 'turned' an insider into an informant for money- they offered an exorbitant sum for relatively worthless information, but when it came time to deliver they had the recipient sign for it, in a receipt book "Just to keep our accounting straight, of course" was the explanation. BUT, if the informant later wanted out they dangled the receipt in front of them, proof they were in the employ of a foreign power and spying on their own country. Naturally, the person knew their career would be ruined and they'd possibly face jail time if they were outed as a spy, so…… they went along and went on to bigger and badder assignments.
I have to wonder, does Israel have a 'receipt book' on each of our politicians, and what derogatory information is being withheld only by their graces?
Oh Joe Plumber WILL stand for $10/gallon gas if he's led to believe it's anyone's fault but the US government. Just watch, every time gas prices go up there are more news stories of unrest overseas and how it affects domestic gas prices- but not one of them will be critical of the government's failed policies. One has to wonder where the stories are emanating from? /cue camera pan towards Washington
Bravo Mr. Giraldi !!
Your editorial should be required reading for every patriotic American.
Wish that more fellow citizens shared your views and convictions.
Keep up your excellent work!
Interesting comment.
this is from Phil's site CNI
these people have been at this for quite some time…
read it and weep
Phil if you read this could you tell us what you think is the reason why the US gov is worthless in the face of the Israel lobby
PS I am going to start donating to CNI…hopefully others will too
i dont believe that the murderers and villains who call themselves zionists can justly call themselves jews. Zionists are not the followers of moses. They are not believers of the ten commandments, they are not believers of god. Satan perhaps.
Unfortunately, Israels unjust actions are leading to unwarranted prejudice and hatred toward many genuine jews. I see this as one of the most unfortunate byproducts of zionism, in addition to this severe animosity between muslims and christians currently..
All of this, however, benefits and is exploited by Israel to further its racist agenda.
Indeed there is a country in the middle east which is a danger and a problem of the whole world, but that country is Israel, not iran
America's political hacks show more concern for the vile Zionist entity than they do for a United States Navy vessel and her crew, Americans murdered by Israel (Rachel Corrie, the Gaza aid flotilla), and the like.
Any nation that subordinates its interests to a foreign entity is no longer a viable, worthy nation. Future historians mulling over the ruins of the United States will have plenty to think about. . . .
Hell, the U.S. Congress is actually Knesset West!
Hey, there, Under Secretary Tauscher! Sure was good of you to take a hard line with Israel (roars of laughter!) during your 2009 visit.
"Unfortunately, Israels unjust actions are leading to unwarranted prejudice and hatred toward many genuine jews."
This is not an accidental outcome. This was the desired outcome. The zionists could have saved many jews during WW2, but they refused a Nazi offer to provide safe passage to jews out of Germany, because without the Nazi atrocities, the zionists could not have justified the usurpation of Palestine. In effect, the zionists are not "like Nazis" – they are one and the same. They just moved to Palestine.
Like some of the comments say, something has to be going on for this to keep on going. Even if a large percent of Americans are clueless, it doesn't matter. History shows that the educated groups are the shakers and movers of a nation, and you only need about 20% shakers to make changes. Yet, the change does not happen. We have a 2% Jewish population and not all 2% support the wars and Israeli aggression. So, something is going on….One thing, the media is largely controlled by Israeli interests. That is one of the biggest problems for why this proliferates. Also, Israel supporter Saban is now in Central and South America peddling the pro-Israel news.
I doubt that most Americans appreciate the level of corruption in America and especially in our Government. It was brought home to me when I called my Senator's office in Washington (Sen Rockefeller of WV). I was trying to convey my opinion of the Palestinian/Israeli mess (I support the Palestinians). I was shocked when the young man answering the phone started to argue with me insisting that the Palestinians were all terrorists and that Israel needed to "get rid of them". Infuriated, I started checking and found that the young man representing Sen Rockefeller was a "volunteer intern". He wasn't on the Senate payroll, he was representing himself or some other party, I guess. Turns out some colleges and organizations (read Lobbys) provide such interns so that they can "learn about government" and save the official office expense.. So, if you think that person answering the phone for your Congressman or Senator is dedicated to getting your opinion to your elected official, guess again. They may be there to make sure that your adverse opinion is NOT HEARD.
Israel was originally a project of Zionists, particularly zionist-marxist Jews with money and time on their hands.
The West has been using Israel as it's little puppet state for decades.
What happened appears to be Israel decided to take control of matters. In other words, the West lost control of its little baby. Even the UK, completely under the control of the Rothschild banking family and hierarchy, doesn't know what to do.
Subsequently, you get people like Giraldi, Atzmon, and Websites such as Veterans Today, working feverishly to subdue and put Israel back in its place.
Problem is Israel took control of the US Media and Political class…..hence, what we are seeing today.
I think Giraldi and Atzmon are correct, but nobody is talking about the Value system of the West in general, particularly that of UK, which dominates the banking situation.
It seems the empire would continue rolling on even if they can subdue Israel. It won't be as violent, but the World Government and NWO will continue forward.
There is a good chance that if Obama were ever to summons the courage to defy "Those who rule us", we might well be calling Joe Biden "Mr. President", with marshal law firmly in place, and a new eternal flame burning brightly at Arlington.
Years ago Pat Buchanan (accurately) called the US Congress "Israeli-occupied territory." I'd love to see some courageous soul take the US flag down from the Capitol building and hoist the Israeli flag in its place. Have still cameras clicking and video cameras running. Talk about the ultimate photo-op! Then post the photos/videos all over the Internet and watch them go viral.
We have a 2% Jewish population and not all 2% support the wars and Israeli aggression.
The problem isn't the Jews, it's the Zionists. As "jeff_davis" shows, not all Jews are Zionists. Even more importantly, not all Zionists are Jews. In fact, the so-called Christian Zionists (a.k.a. Armageddonites, Millenialists, and other names) likely outnumber their Jewish counterparts by a wide margin. Calling themselves Christians gives them a veneer of respectability among the general population, however undeserved. That, along with their numbers, makes them especially dangerous. They would gladly welcome the annihilation of 90%+ of the world's population as long as they could be "raptured" beforehand and watch the carnage from the ultimate cheap seats.
It is Not any one group. It is the human ego. Ego has served humankind well during these dark ages (for survival), but the dark ages are beginning to lift.
The majority of us are still living by ego (and therefore in Ignorance). That includes Jews, humanists, christians, muslims, atheists, etc.
But the Jews are going to have to get used to taking their share of the blame like everyone else. Afterall, calling yourself "the chosen people" is rampant Egotism.
Additional on Israel first Mitt Romney at following URL:
Mitt Romney Embraces the Neocons:
I have always believed that come crunch time, the US and the West will step in and disarm or neutralize Israel's nukes. Let us hope as I honestly do also that there is still some patriotism left in the US military and security organizations.
Antiwar is a neo nazi site
Israeli TV report shows air force gearing-up for Iran attack, says moment of truth is near
Inevitable being the key word. They are at war with the rest of the world. Many are waking up to this – we need more. Much more….
A website is defined in part by those who read it. Seems this site is dominated by cave-dwelling anti-Semites. Congratulations on your audience, Mr. Giraldi.
Disarming or neutralizing Israel's SUBMARINE-BORNE nukes would be especially problematic.
Especially in view of the fact that New York would be an easy target for such a submarine and its missiles. I believe New York may already have been hit in such an exercise on September 11, 2001. Fortunately, THOSE missiles had non-nuclear warheads.
Israeli/American saber-rattling vis a vis Iran has ALREADY driven up the price of gas, energy, and goods already.
But have you seen that SAID anywhere? See?
It's more necessary than ever for one to think for oneself.

Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster for the middle class.
Thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts, who made a political decision, rather than a constitutional one, the unaffordable care act hits Americans with no less than 21 new taxes.
It punishes (taxes) citizens who have worked hard all their lives and always played by the rules.
However, if we don't fire Barack Obama in November, we will have bigger problems than government-run health care.
Republicans like to say that Obama wants to transform America into a European socialist state.
I don't think Europe is the model.
Look no further than Venezuela or Cuba.
I think Obama fancies himself as a Hugo Chavez or a Fidel Castro. How scary is that?
While shopping in a local department store back in 2008, I had a passing conversation with a woman about Cuba.
Extolling the virtues of Castro, the woman said, "Oh, it's wonderful in Cuba. Castro provides all their medical care."
I was stunned.
Never in my life have I heard anyone describe Cuba as a great place to live.
The fact that the woman intended to vote for Barack Obama came as no surprise.
The fact that the woman was a teacher in the Jackson Public Schools gave me pause.
Just what are they teaching in JPS?
Meanwhile, we are up to our eyelashes in illegals with their fake and stolen IDs receiving free education, free health care and back door amnesty, courtesy of the appeaser-in-chief.
Where is Thomas Jefferson when you need him?

December 1, 2015
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The Ohio Supreme Court is preparing to hear arguments in the case of the only woman facing execution in Ohio.
Attorneys for Donna Roberts, of Trumbull County, plan to argue Tuesday that a trial court erred before re-imposing the death penalty on Roberts in 2007 by failing to admit evidence of Roberts' diagnosed mental illness and brain trauma.
Roberts was sentenced to die in 2003 for killing her ex-husband after a slaying plot with her boyfriend. The Ohio Supreme Court overturned the sentence in 2006 and sent her case back to trial court for re-sentencing.
A judge and prosecutor were reprimanded by the Supreme Court in 2009 for teaming up to write her death penalty sentencing order.
Roberts is incarcerated at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville.
