In October, we hosted events in Milan and Paris focused around one of the hottest topics of the moment, TARGET2-Securities, more commonly known as T2S. With over 80 attendees in Milan and 50 in Paris, the levels of interest and participant engagement at both of these half-day events were very high.
The two events had as a common objective to highlight and encourage discussion on some of the many open questions and challenges that securities market participants are still grappling with on the road to T2S. What are the benefits that can realistically be expected from T2S? What will the real impact be in terms of cost/benefit? When will market players really see a return on investment? What will happen to the relationship between CSDs, ICSDs and large custodian banks? Will they end up competing with each other? What kind of services will be offered, by whom? Who will connect directly to the T2S platform, and why? What will the Italian and French securities markets look like post-T2S? What is the best strategy to adopt and when do players need to start taking action?
Despite being so far down the line, there remains a climate of uncertainty around the project for some market participants, with many an answer still not found to open questions. Whilst SWIFT is not in a position to answer to all of these questions, by creating a platform to share information and experience and exchange views and opinions, our aim is to help our customers and the European securities market as a whole to engage in regular and constructive dialogue aimed at finding common solutions to common problems.
Michele Bernardi, Senior Vice President, Relationship Management Europe, Clearstream, representing both the German CSD and the ICSD, highlighted how challenging the T2S timeline is and how important it is that, despite tight IT budgets and the burden of cost imposed by new regulation, that market players explore the advantages that the new model can offer. Settlement costs and revenues will be compressed while competition will move to other fields such as Asset Servicing and Collateral Management, areas where Clearstream intends to further build onto its already strong position.
Franco Carulli, Securities Country Manager, Citi Transaction Services Italy explained not only do they see the implementation of T2S as a way of further enriching their relationships with existing clients, but they also see it as a great opportunity to offer their already large and diversified range of services to many potential new clients.
BNP Paribas Securities Services, represented by Dario Locatelli, Head of CSC product management Italy, said that they are 99% sure they will connect directly to T2S while having multiple links with the CSDs, mainly for asset servicing activities. For them T2S represents both a threat and an opportunity since the competitive landscape will change, as will customer purchasing behavior. It is therefore essential to take these new aspects into account and make sure, when adapting one's service offering , that it adequately addresses new needs. BNP Paribas are confident that their global presence, scalability and all the work that they have done and still have to do will assure them continued success and leadership in the post T2S world.
Domenico Petullà, Head of Back Office & Finance, ICCREA, explained that as a cooperative of banks, they believe that they have an obligation towards their affiliates to offer them the possibility to link directly to the rest of Europe. As a result, they are fully ISO 20022 enabled and will be analyzing the costs of a direct connection to the T2S platform before taking the final decision.
ICBPI, the other hand, have for now excluded the possibility of connecting to T2S directly. Whilst they are currently analyzing their CSD links and service coverage, their analysis so far has shown that with their current volumes, a direct connection would not be desirable or make financial sense, explained Paolo Callegaro, Head of Operations Services and a member of ICBPI's Securities Services management team.
Following Bonnier's presentation, Valérie Urbain, CEO Euroclear France looked at T2S from the CSD perspective, explaining that T2S will have significant impact on CSDs. Many of the impacts are positive, as is the T2S long-term ambition, but the development costs and revenue impacts on CSDs mean that they will need to make a number to changes to their strategy and service offering to remain competitive. T2S is also a catalyst for further harmonization in areas such as corporate actions and market practices. Euroclear's strategy is to adapt its service offering to provide its customers with as much choice as possible, with a single point of access to settlement in both central bank money and commercial money, a complete and wide ranging asset servicing offering geared to a market that is constantly evolving, and a single, global collateral pool.
Alain Pochet, Head of Clearing, Custody and Corporate Trust Services, BNP Paribas Securities Services France and a member of the SWIFT board, explained that whilst T2S is indeed a significant change, it is worth remembering that there is more to the European Securities landscape than the settlement layer and that it is a market of moving parts, with changes happening on all layers, from trading, to clearing and then on to cash and securities settlement. T2S is a large step towards a rationalised and harmonized EU landscape and will bring lower transaction costs and benefits to all players. It is a highly complex project due to the involvement of 4 central banks, the Eurosystem and the CSDs, which makes it a very different project to TARGET2, for example, given the number of stakeholders. Pochet also explained the excellent, long lasting and mutually beneficial relationship that exists between BNP Paribas and SWIFT. BNP Paribas Group is amongst the largest SWIFT users worldwide and Securities Services accounts for around 70% of its SWIFT volumes. They use SWIFT in all 22 of the countries that they cover and also maintain a close relationship with SWIFT for the promotion and adoption of ISO standards.
Taking over from Pochet, Philippe Bellande, T2S Project Sponsor, Societe Generale Securities Services, stated that T2S will eventually deliver a single technical platform, a unique standard (ISO 20022) and a single operational day. There are still some fiscal and legal obstacles to overcome, but it is a very large step in the right direction. T2S will impact market participants in three main ways, he explained, in terms of platform, organization and service offering, and the costs for each organization are very different as some are already have a pan-European organization whilst others are not. Bellande also classified the risks of T2S in three categories: project risk, financial risk and systemic risk and went on to give a brief explanation of each of these. Concluding his presentation, he said that T2S will achieve, in the securities market, the same scale of changes as the cash markets saw with the introduction of TARGET at the end of the 1990s and whatever uncertainties may remain, its implementation is inevitable and it is up to each and every market participant to transform his significant change into a real opportunity.
SWIFT also took the opportunity at both events to go over the SWIFT offering for T2S, highlighting the many benefits of using SWIFT network to connect to T2S and the SWIFT consulting and training services available to help our customers understand the impacts of T2S and the opportunities that it creates. Further information on this can be found on our T2S page on this website or by contacting your local SWIFT representative.

Girl, 16, sets self on fireComment on this story
Beijing - A 16-year-old Tibetan girl has died after setting herself on fire, Chinese state media said on Monday, in an area that has become a flashpoint for protests against Beijing's rule.
The school pupil self-immolated in the village of Dageri in China's northwestern province of Qinghai, an area with a high population of ethnic Tibetans, just before 7pm (11.00 GMT) on Sunday, Xinhua said.
Her body was cremated four hours later and returned to her family, the news agency said, adding that local government officials were investigating.
More than 90 Tibetans have set themselves ablaze since 2009 to protest China's rule of the Tibetan plateau, rights groups have said, with the frequency of incidents increasing sharply in November. Most have died.
According to a partial list drawn up by the London-based campaign group Free Tibet the teenager is among the youngest girls to have set themselves on fire.
Xinhua reported on Sunday that a monk and his nephew had been detained for inciting eight Tibetans to set themselves alight.
Many Tibetans in China accuse the government of religious repression and eroding their culture, as the country's majority Han ethnic group increasingly moves into historically minority areas.
Beijing rejects this, saying Tibetans enjoy religious freedom. The government points to huge on-going investment it says has brought modernisation and a better standard of living to Tibet. - AFP

In my design I've not used Stateful
, rather I've taken the conventional route of using Stateless EJB(s). I dont want to discuss the good or bad reasons why. My rationale was that stateless ejb will give me a good scalability quality attribute in my design esp. if there is a requirement to scale to upto 600 concurrent users.
What I want to know is regarding my assumption. Now since I'm not using a SFSB, My architecture does not seem to be fault tolerant. e.g if there is a network outage for a brief period of 5 secs, after I made my iternary and going to pay $ using credit card.
I know this can be achieved by storing the session information in a backend database against the userprofile and reusing it the next time. I dont have the time to show this again in my design with more diagrams as already my assignment has become huge.
Can I put this as an assumption ?? Any ideas?

Stateful or stateless doesn't change anything regarding fault tolerance.

"Stateful or stateless doesn't change anything regarding fault tolerance"
sorry i disagree with you. It does. SFSB stores state across method calls. Which means that when the client is unavailable and before the bean times-out, the bean is available. If you are able to locate the same bean back before the time-out happens, the container maintains the state of the bean. Which also means may be your reservation that was pending because you accidentally closed your browser is still available just like a shopping cart... that's what I meant by fault-tolerant in case of a client network outage for a brief duration.
Man these one liner answers really kill the whole idea of a forum !!

Hi suekar,
Whether we use stateful or stateless beans, the state is kept somewhere - either in a stateful bean or in the client or in the web tier or maybe in the DB.
So really, I'm not sure how this decision affects the fault tolerance need.
What do you think?

Fault tolerant is probably not the right quality attribute to call this.
my 'original' worry is that incase of short network outages or any such scenario the session(client state) should be recoverable. Should I show this in my assumptions or not ?
SFSB would mean that that is implicit and I can just make an assumption that if there is a container crash, the user has to start all over again.
SLSB means that I have to save session state explicitly that besides container crash even loss of connection, I should save the state of the request somewhere if the client returns after sometime.
Hope I am adequately clear this time. I want to know if these things we can put in as an assuption ?
I agree. Here's the link:

Portugal mourns EusebioComment on this story
Lisbon - Portuguese great Eusebio, top scorer at the 1966 World Cup, died on Sunday from a heart attack at the age of 71 with the small Iberian nation mourning him as an "eternal symbol" of their football pride.
The death of the charismatic striker, who was idolised throughout the Portuguese-speaking world and considered one of the game's greatest players was confirmed by former club Benfica and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF).
"Portugal is mourning. Eusebio, the King of Portugal's 1966 team and the eternal symbol of the country, national team and Benfica passed away," the FPF said in a statement.
Eusebio, whose full name was Eusebio da Silva Ferreira, was European Footballer of the Year in 1965 but won global acclaim a year later at the World Cup in England, where his nine goals helped Portugal reach the semi-finals.
He earned 64 caps and scored 41 goals for Portugal, records that stood for almost two decades.
Nicknamed the 'Black Panther', Eusebio was a European Cup winner with Benfica in 1962 and played in three other finals, including the loss to Manchester United at Wembley in 1968.
Eusebio helped Benfica to 11 Portugues championships and later served as an 'ambassador' for the club. He scored more than 300 league goals for the Lisbon outfit.
"The news caught us by surprise brutally, because there are men who should never go away," a Benfica statement read.
"The life of Eusebio is the patrimony of everyone who loves football."
As news of Eusebio's death spread, tributes began pouring in from the football family.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on his Twitter page: "football has lost a legend but Eusebio's place among the greats will never be taken away."
Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who overtook Eusebio last year to go to the top of the country's list of top marksmen and trigger a debate on who is the best Portuguese player of all time, shared a picture of him and Eusebio on Twitter.
"Always eternal Eusebio, rest in peace," read the caption.
Eusebio hailed from Lourenco Marques, now Maputo, in colonial Mozambique and as a teenage prodigy was expected to join Benfica's great rivals Sporting Lisbon but changed his mind at the last minute.
Even though he played for Portugal, he was widely regarded as the best known African player of all-time, until the emergence in more recent times of the likes of Samuel Eto'o, Didier Drogba and Abedi Pele.
"He was one of the great figures of Portugal. I think he is immortal. We all know what he meant for football and especially for Portuguese football," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho told Portugal's state broadcaster RTP.
"He was not only a great inspiration but also an important figure in upholding the values, principles and feelings of football, even after finishing his career," the former Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid coach added.
Eusebio ended his career playing in the U.S. but returned to Portugal to various roles with Benfica and the Portuguese federation. He was referred to as the "O Rei" (the king) in his later years, enjoying widespread affection.
Among the first reactions to his death came from former Benfica and Portugal team mate Toni.
"I told him when he was alive much of what I felt... that it was a privilege to have played with him. We have lost one of the greatest figures of Portuguese sport," the former midfielder said in a statement.
"There were many princes in football but few kings. He is in the gallery of the greats. He was gifted both physically and technically, he was like a Greek statue," he added. – Reuters

Aakansha Naval-Shetye (DNA; December 2, 2012)
Apart from husband, actor Saif Ali Khan, actress Kareena Kapoor is known to share a strong connection with all the other Bollywood Khans — Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and even Imran Khan. Having given hits with all of them, the actress herself admits to be very fond of her Khan co-stars. But now there's another Khan she can add to that list, who incidentally is just as fond of Bebo. This Khan is Salman's father, the veteran writer Salim Khan. He was apparently so impressed with her performance in Talaash that he called her up early in the morning to congratulate her for a 'sensitive portrayal'.
A source reveals, "Salim uncle is very fond of Bebo and always makes it a point to tell her about her performances when they meet. But this time around, he didn't want to wait and so just called her up telling her that the film is one of her best works till date." Coming from someone of his calibre, Kareena was thrilled with the feedback, as she knows that he is very fair in his assessment. "The compliment means a lot for Kareena as Salim uncle is someone she has always looked up to," adds the source. Kareena who recently had skipped her own film premiere to unveil her Dabangg 2 item number on the sets of Bigg Boss, is now said to be looking forward to her vacation with Saif.

1 fewer super-delegate for Hillary
Posted By Mason and Felder On 03/11/2008 @ 12:00 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled
First, the good stuff.
The overall story is sad beyond being sad. We view it more in sadness than in any sense of happiness, glee or satisfaction. When our book "Schmucks" first came out, Spitzer, in a press conference, demanded that Raoul resign as chairman of the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Spitzer said if he didn't resign, he would commence an action under the Public Officers Law to have him removed. Raoul said, "Fine, bring it on. Let the courts decide if there is still a First Amendment in America." Spitzer backed off.
When the Bruno scandal broke in the press, Raoul said, more in jocularity than in seriousness, "I may be chairman longer than Spitzer is governor." Raoul's term ends March 31. Spitzer's term may end by the time you read this column.
Because of Spitzer's reaction to the first publication of our book, the paperback edition of "Schmucks," which just came out, has two chapters devoted to Spitzer. One of the chapters is entitled "The Spitzer Administration" – What didn't they know? And when didn't they know it?
Spitzer did not resign as of now, but appeared on TV with his wife who must have suffered dreadfully to be used by him in this manner. We believe that Spitzer thought he would see how the situation would play itself out, and in his arrogance, he probably thought he could tough it through and, following Clinton's example, continue in office. It's not going to happen. This is a story that will not let go, and Hillary had better start looking for another super-delegate.

BUFFALO, NY - Anthony Capozzi, the mentally ill Buffalo man who was wrongly imprisoned for 22 years, has settled his lawsuit against New York state for $4.25 million.
The out of court settlement was announced on Wednesday, two years after Capozzi's family filed suit against the state. The case was scheduled to go to trial this summer.
"All the money in the world can't give you back time and your life and your experiences. This money can never make up for what this has cost Anthony and our family, but it will allow us to ensure that Anthony will be well cared for for the rest of his life," said his sister Pam Guenther.
"It's unfortunate that our mother didn't live to see this day," said Al Capozzi, Jr., Anthony's brother.
Mary Capozzi has prayed for Anthony's release every day of his 22 year imprisonment. She passed away last fall.
"Primarily this money will be used for Anthony's care. We're going to look into alternative and cutting edge treatments for schizophrenia," said Al, Jr.
Anthony's sister says his health has deteriorated since his release from prison. "He doesn't realize that over-eating, over-drinking and over-smoking can damage your health," said Guenther.
Capozzi's brother and sister have been appointed as his guardians and will administer the settlement on Anthony's behalf.
Anthony, who suffers from schizophrenia, lives in a group home for the mentally ill in the Buffalo area.
His family says Anthony has a basic understanding as to why he's receiving the money, but no real concept of the amount of money involved.
In 1985, Capozzi was wrongly convicted of two of the Delaware Park rapes. He and his family maintained his innocence all along.
In January of 2007, Altemio Sanchez was arrested and charged with three murders. DNA tests proved that Sanchez, and not Capozzi, committed the rapes that Capozzi had been convicted of.
Capozzi's attorney, Tom D'Augustino, negotiated with the state Attorney General's office to reach the settlement. The family is expected to receive the money in the next month or so.

New York Yankees center fielder Brett Gardner singles to left center allowing two runners to score during the seventh inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium in New York.
- Filed Under
The Yankees have seemingly taken in every castaway except Tom Hanks and Wilson the Volleyball to help out their injury-depleted lineup. But it has been working out just fine so far.
They're on a winning run, spinning around their slow start by taking seven of eight despite their ankle (Derek Jeter), wrist (Mark Teixeira), forearm (Curtis Granderson) and hip (Alex Rodriguez) problems.
Diamondbacks lefty Wade Miley shut them down on two hits over six innings Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, but the Yankees rallied to tie it with three in the seventh and won it 4-3 on Travis Hafner's pinch solo ...

All right, maybe it's time to let the SAD (seasonal affective disorder) sink in and accept it for what it is. The weather outside is just downright frightful, and with another storm looming, we will have to look for moments to add some spice to our lives.
Let Los Lobos can help. The Mexican-American crew just reached their four-decade mark and still devote their time to making great rock music with ties to traditional cumbias and Tex-Mex swing. This means they know how to hit those chords that make you feel all warm inside like a cup of hot cocoa after a snow-shoveling session.
Their new record, Disconnected in New York City, isn't a warning for what might happen to the power when another Nor'easter blows through. But the mostly acoustic tunes will hold up nicely should you have to break out the candles and flashlights.
Los Lobos will play The Egg (Empire State Plaza, Albany) on Tuesday (Dec. 3) at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $34.50-$44.50. Call 473-1845 for more info.

Fumanelli Valpolicella 2009
Posted By Joel on April 25, 2013
Fumanelli Valpolicella 2009
Dinner dishes are cleared, a half bottle of wine still to drink. Outside, massive oak limbs creak in the wind, sympathy for logs crackling in the wood stove.
He's looks at the chess board, then back at me, raises an eyebrow.
I return a steady gaze that says:
You want a piece of me? 😉
He hunches over the chess board, absent mindedly swirls a last sip of wine in his glass, pushes his Bishop forward. Really? Bishop's opening? Popular back in the '60's perhaps. Oh, he's an old school boy, isn't he? Classic chess, all the way.
Also showing some classic style tonight is a noteable, easy drinking Valpolicella from producer Marchesi Fumanelli who has been producing wines since 1470.
I had happened upon the Fumanelli bottle at a local shop awhile back. Although the producer wasn't really on my radar at the time, I purchased a single bottle to give it a go. And glad I did. This Valpolicella brought timeless style to the table and continues to be distinguished company during these after dinner sporting moments.
The wine is produced from hand-picked grapes – Corvina Veronese ( 40%), Corvinone (40%), Rondinella (20%) – grown on the family's Squarano estate (San Floriano) in the classic heart of Valpolicella. Fermented in stainless steel.
Tasting Notes / Impressions:
Fresh picked berries, violets, herbs and tobacco. Medium weight on the palate, cherry, notes of almond. Good balance all around, appetite-raising acidity and nice grippy tannins. Flavorful, easy drinking, classic style.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
Pasta, risotto, veal and chicken dishes, burgers, pizza, hearty soups, cured meats, cheeses. I'd even do this wine with salmon.
Awakenend now from my Valpolicella reverie I find him peering over his spectacles at me.
"I'm sorry, did you say something", I ask. "My move" ?
Strokes his beard, staring. "Checkmate", he says.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
By C. Trent Rosecrans
On Thursday, a three-person panel heard Ryan Braun's appeal of a 50-game suspension stemming from a positive test for raised levels of testosterone, CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman has confirmed.
The three members of the panel were MLB Players Association executive director Michael Weiner, MLB executive vice president for labor relations Rob Manfred and independent arbitrator Shyam Das, according to the New York Daily News, which first reported the story.
Braun is expected to make a short speech when he accepts his 2011 National League Most Valuable Player Award at Saturday's Baseball Writers' Association of America dinner in New York.
Braun's representatives have repeatedly denied allegations that the Brewers outfielder took performance-enhancing drugs.
According to Heyman, no major league player has successfully appealed a positive drug test.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
So, syeely, there is no more reason for you to repeat your position (which you have made quite clear before) because nothing that can happen going forward can change it.
If Braun wins his appeal there should be no announcement from MLB because of the confidentiality requirements of the drug policy. So, anything said about it will have to come from Braun or the Brewers, and if they say that the appeal found that the test was flawed, you won't believe it anyway.
Personally, I think that being 100% certain of something based only on incomplete and unsubstantiated facts coming from anonymous sources is evidence of a closed mind. But, I guess if you can find a convicted felon to back up that conclusion that should be good enough.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
Just a quick note that the only way I might not think Ryan Braun is a cheater, is if it is shown that the failed drug test was due to a fault of the testing site. There is no other way he is innocent, in my eye. Even if he does win his appeal, I will think he cheated.
I read an interview Victor Conte did about this on the radio. I'm not sure I am allowed to give the link, but you can Google Ryan Braun Conte and find it. But in reading stuff like this, I become more and more convinced Ryan Braun is a cheater. I am 100% certain he is.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
Eveyone is entitled to his or her opinion. The fact that some posters think their opinion of Braun will ruin his reputation is laughable. I doubt Braun cares about the opinions on this blog or any thread for that matter.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
I wanted to say in my previous message that I recognize that the source "involved in the process" could be someone from Braun's camp or the players union who is making a preemptive strike to prepare for a bad result. But, the fact that we don't know is just another example of why it is better to wait for the result than jump to conclusions based on leaked information (which all of this is).

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
Dan Patrick said on his radio show this morning, citing somebody "involved in the process", that Ryan Braun may be exonerated. If you want to see a more complete description of his comments, they should be easy enough to find through an Internet search. But one of the key quotes is:
"Ryan Braun may be exonerated here. He may be innocent. And judging from all of the information I was told, he should be. It's not as cut and dried as people think. And Ryan Braun may be an innocent man. "
The report also said that the popular reports that the test was caused by something Braun took for a personal medical issue are not true.
I'm sure that this report will be of no interest to the people who have already lined up the executioner. But, for those of us who have been waiting for the process to play out before we jump to conclusions, this does give us something to think about.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
syeely, your opinion is fine and articulately stated. I might even agree with much of it once the result of the appeal is announced.
But, why is it necessary to reach these opinions before all of the facts that we're going to get are out? There are a lot of possible explanations for the positive drug test (some more plausible than others), and a lot of different public statements Braun could make once the results are public. Why get yourself all worked up until we see what happens; that information shuld be coming any day. What if the arbitration panel determines after a thorough review that there was some mishandling of Braun's specimen, or at least enough of a doubt about it to disregard it? As unlikely as that may be, why not wait until it has been completely eliminated as a possibility?
Once the result is announced, Braun could also admit that he made a serious mistake, whether it be taking a PED intentionally or not going through ideal procedures to ensure what he took wouldn't cause a problem. If he does that I will evaluate what he says, but I won't criticize him for not saying something sooner. As I said before, why should he compromise or frofeit his right to appeal through public statements?

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
I admit to being the most vocal member in this board, in regards to Braun being a cheater. I would like to post once more my reasoning behind my feelings.
Ryan Braun is 28 years old and been in the league 5 years. He is a tremendous athlete, I won't deny that. As I said elsewhere, I was a fan of his because he worked so hard at improving his one flaw, at defense. He didn't have to do that, but I admire the player for wanting to improve his all around game.
May I add that I have not suggested Braun give back his MVP award. The MVP award is given by the BBWAA and has nothing to do with MLB's drug policy. Nor have I said that Braun needs to come out and tell the world what he did (even though he said that about ARod). He doesn't have to say a word; now I do think he should, but I am not saying he has to. Nor have I suggested he took PEDs.
What most of you readers are missing, and need to get, is that baseball players such as Braun are not like you and me. They are well-oiled machines, they take care of their bodies. They watch everything they eat. They don't put anything into or onto their bodies unless they know exactly what it is, and what it can do. They do not go to Walgreen's and grab something off the shelf to help them with a headache. They know exactly what they are taking, as far as medicine goes. They are walking drug encyclopedias.
Ryan Braun failed a drug test. In doing so, he breached the drug policy that MLBPA endorsed. He is not a 19 year old rookie who maybe didn't know the policy so well. He is not some bum off the street. He is a superb athlete, who is aware of what he takes, who is aware of the policy, who is aware of the hotline to call if unsure about a drug. He is also aware that the burden of proof is on him, in the appeal process.
I can't see for any other reason that his testosterone level would be so elevated, except that he took a banned substance. I just can't see otherwise. And I just can't see that it would simply slip his mind to not tell anyone about what he took.
Now some here have suggested that Braun is taking a substance he has to have, to treat herpes for instance. Again I do not buy it; there are many substitutes one can be prescribed for to treat herpes that would be OK with baseball. He doesn't have to take one that raises his testosterone level to a dangerous point, if in fact he did.
I can only come to the conclusion that Ryan Braun was trying to cheat the system. That makes him a cheater. If my opinion ruins his reputation, too bad. He will still make millions. He still has family and friends and fans who believe in him. He'll sit out his 50 games and go back to work. He just won't be taking whatever it was he took anymore. Or will he?

my instance was if your dying son was in the car, not going to see him.....if your action would have saved your sons life...like taking a steroid to rid your body of a disease that could harm your well being like Brauns Case....he shouldn't have to tell ANYONE he is taking a drug to treat a Medical Disease...that violates his right of Privacy period.

Ryan Braun's appeal heard by MLB
The reason the leak is relevant is that it has caused many in the public to form their conclusions while Braun was effectively precluded from telling his side of the story.
A lot of people who have concluded that he is a cheater based on the leaked report are also saying he is a liar because he has proclaimed his innocence pending his appeal. But, what was he supposed to do? Forfeit his right to appeal by admitting that he made a mistake just because the report was leaked prematurely? Wouldn't refusing to accept the MVP award be taken as a sign of guilt? The people who say that they would have respected him more if he had done that are the ones who are lying, or at least kidding themselves.
Will you still think the leak is irrelevant if Braun's appeal is upheld? In that case, nobody should have known that the positive test ever took place, but instead Braun's reputation will be tarnished forever, regardless of what the truth is. Many, if not most, of the people who have rushed to brand Braun as a cheater and a liar are not going to change their opinions simply because his appeal is upheld. They will just think he is a liar and a cheater who evaded justice through a technicality. The most vocal poster on this board has stated explicity that he will feel that way. Do you think that's fair?
Fundamental fairness dictates that we withhold our judgment until the whole story comes out. But, there are a lot of people who cannot or will not do that.

Road Trip! Destination: New York City for the holidays
New York City, which never lacks for attractions, is especially vibrant during the holidays. Entertainment, dining and shopping make it a year-round destination. This season, the city expects 5 million visitors between Thanksgiving and New Year's.
The biggest gathering will be on New Year's Eve at Times Square in midtown Manhattan, where a million people are expected to come for the dropping of the illuminated ball seen on television by an estimated billion people around the world.
Times Square is also the site of Good Riddance Day, Dec. 28, where people can scrap bad memories — from old love letters to bills finally paid — in a mobile shredder truck.
Spreading north from Times Square is the theater district, not only on Broadway itself, where this season's shows include "A Christmas Story."
Midtown also offers Rockefeller Center and its famous huge Christmas Tree, the musical enchantments of Carnegie Hall and the Museum of Modern Art. Just a bit uptown on the West Side, the myriad cultural offerings of Lincoln Center include the New York City Ballet performing George Balanchine's version of "The Nutcracker," with its own spectacular Christmas tree.
Across Fifth Avenue from Rockefeller Center is St. Patrick's Cathedral, while along that avenue are dozens of alluring (and expensive) stores.
Even if midtown wasn't jammed with people, there would be good reason to visit other neighborhoods and boroughs. For perspective, it's useful to remember that four of New York City's five boroughs each have a population roughly comparable with Allegheny County.
Some people will gravitate to museums on the upper East Side, such as the Metropolitan and the Whitney, both on Fifth Avenue. Others will want the artsy tone of Greenwich Village, or pursue dining options in Little Italy or Chinatown — both in Lower Manhattan.
There's something for everyone in the Big Apple. Ripley's Believe It or Not! Times Square is an 18,000-foot "Odditorium" filled with theme galleries, where there will be a DJ's party and champagne toast at midnight on New Year's Eve.
Brooklyn is a borough enjoying a renaissance, due in part to the astronomical rents in Manhattan. New Year's Eve in Grand Army Plaza is the big celebration, but nearby Brooklyn Heights is a charming neighborhood to visit, too.
And for those wanting a broader perspective, Circle Lines has a New Year's Eve cruise that ends at the Statue of Liberty and its great view of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, and the fireworks.
The most comprehensive website for exploring tourism possibilities is nycgo.com.
When looking for a hotel, expect to not stay in midtown because room rates skyrocket at this time of year. Public transportation is very efficient, usually much quicker than driving.

Rockefeller Center
The big Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza in midtown Manhattan has been an iconic holiday symbol in New York City since 1933, although workers building the complex first put up a tree in 1931.
The 2013 tree is a 76-foot Norway spruce adorned with more than 30,000 LED lights, which were lit on Dec. 4.
The skating rink at the base of the tree is a popular destination. Admission is $27; $15 for children under 11 and seniors, for 90 minutes. Skate rental is $12.
Radio City Music Hall, on the Sixth Avenue side of Rockefeller Center, is where the famed Rockettes dance in the Christmas Spectacular.

Lincoln Center
The big performing arts complex is hosting the Big Apple Circus in Damrosch Park on 62nd Street, where no seat is more than 50 feet from ring side. The show is called "Luminocity" and has a decidedly urban flavor — businesswomen who arrange to meet on a double trapeze, a chic couple of wire walkers suspended above the show and a food-cart vendor juggling his products.
The Metropolitan Opera will present "Die Fledermaus" on New Year's Eve, when the operetta's action takes place in Vienna, and Julie Taymor's fantastic staging of "The Magic Flute" earlier in the month.
Among the other performances at Lincoln Center are the New York Philharmonic's New Year's Eve concert led by music director Alan Gilbert and William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" starring Ethan Hawke and Anne-Marie Duff.
Details: 212-875-5000; lincolncenter.org
New York Botanical Garden
Located in the Bronx, the borough north of Manhattan, the New York Botanical Garden is presenting its 22nd annual Holiday Train Show. More than a dozen large-scale trains travel along more than a quarter-mile of track, passing 140 scaled iconic New York scenes, such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Yankee Stadium and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The course includes rustic bridges, tunnels and waterfalls that feed flowing creeks.
The garden is more than a century old and spans 250 acres, including 50 acres of untouched woodlands that once covered New York City. Among the other attractions are a year-round showcase of native plants of northeastern North America, ornamental conifers and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory — a Victorian-style glass house.

Times Square
In 1907, three years after the owners of the One Times Square building began throwing New Year's Eve parties, the traditional lowering of a ball began to mark the exact moment the old year passes and the new year begins. Many cities have ball drops, but the Times Square celebration is world famous.
The ball is 12 feet in diameter and weighs nearly six tons. It is covered in 2,688 Waterford crystal triangles and lit by 32,256 LED bulbs.
Streets are closed to traffic at about 3 p.m. The lighting and raising of the ball begins at 6 p.m.

Grand Army Plaza
The New Year's Eve celebration at Grand Army Plaza at the downtown edge of Prospect Park in Brooklyn is marked by a big fireworks display at midnight. The event begins at 11 p.m. and includes, in addition to musical entertainment and refreshment, a 5K run — the only nighttime race in Prospect Park all year.
The plaza was built to honor Union soldiers in the Civil War. Its arch was completed in 1892 and is sometimes compared with the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

[1417] Expression of MUM1 in B Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma, Burkitt Lymphoma, and T Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma
Ellen F Krasik, Anne Deucher, Stephanie J McAlhany. University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
Background: MUM1 (multiple myeloma 1) is a member of the interferon regulatory factor family (IRF4) of transcription factors that regulate expression of interferon and other cytokine-inducible genes. MUM1 is thought to work in conjunction with PU.1 as a transcriptional regulator in lymphoid cells, specifically in lymphocyte activation and terminal B-cell differentiation. MUM1 is overexpressed in a subset of mature B-cell lymphomas and plasma cell myelomas and can be expressed in activated T-cells. A prior investigation (Krasik and McAlhany, Mod Pathol 2012; 25:348A) focused on the expression of MUM1 in B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (B-ALL). In that retrospective review of initial-diagnosis B-ALL, MUM1 expression was detected in 10% of B-ALL and showed positive correlation with surface Ig expression but did not segregate by cytogenetic/molecular abnormality. Expression of MUM1 is not well characterized in T lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (T-ALL/-LBL) or Burkitt lymphoma (BL), major differential diagnoses of B-ALL. We expand the earlier study to include cases of T-ALL/-LBL and BL and additional cases of B-ALL to investigate the utility of MUM1 in resolving this differential.
Design: A pathology specimen database search (approximately 14-year history) identified 81 cases of new-diagnosis B-ALL, 17 cases of new-diagnosis BL, and 22 cases of new-diagnosis T-ALL/-LBL. Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue was stained using a MUM1 antibody with appropriate controls. Percentage of blasts positive for MUM1 and intensity of staining was recorded.
Results: MUM1 staining in B-ALL was seen in 7 cases (9%) with variable staining and percentage of positive blasts ranging from 10-80%. In BL, staining was seen 8 cases (47%) with weak to variable staining and percentage of positive blasts ranging from very focal to 80%. No staining for MUM1 was seen in any case of T-ALL/-LBL (0%). Patient distribution for B-ALL (46 male, 35 female) showed a mean age of 25 years (range 2-73 years). BL (12 male, 5 female) patients had a mean age of 27 years (range 4-69 years). For T-ALL/-LBL (19 male, 3 female) mean age was 24 years (range 2-76 years), and 6 (27%) presented as T-LBL and 16 (73%) as T-ALL.
Conclusions: The increased rate and intensity of expression of MUM1 in BL parallels the degree of B-cell lineage differentiation. In this data set, MUM1 staining is more frequent in BL yet is non-specific in the differential diagnosis with B-ALL. In addition, these findings suggest that MUM1 expression could be used to rule out a diagnosis of T-ALL/-LBL.

How To Raise Healthy, Happy Kids
When I wrote the title of this blog, I think I might have been overly ambitious. How DO you raise healthy, happy kids? It's a question I ponder almost every day and one my readers ask me about frequently.
Because I'm a mom, doctor, and entrepreneur, I'm often asked about my parenting choices, and as you may have noticed in my blog, I pretty much steer clear of anything you might call "mommy blogging," not because I don't have plenty to say about the topic but because:
a) anything even beginning to resemble parenting advice can push a parent into a shame spiral quicker than you can blink
b) I want to protect Siena's privacy
c) I don't want to bore you with all too many details of my home life
d) With fabulous writers like my friend Glennon Doyle Melton of Momastery mommy blogging, I have no business even getting in
that arena!
Parenting is one of those areas of greatest vulnerability for most of us. From the moment I saw the plus sign on my positive pregnancy test, I just knew I was going to do it all wrong.
Like me, most of you who are parents probably question yourselves all the time. We bumble through life as parents wondering whether we're feeding our kids the right foods, sending them to the right schools, pushing them hard enough to excel vs. pushing them too hard, disciplining them enough but not too much, loving them well with our limited time and patience, teaching them the right life wisdom, boosting their self esteem enough.
YOU Know Best How To Parent Your Children!
The ways in which you can screw up as parents are endless. Some of you write to me and ask me about my parenting choices, and I'm reluctant to answer you, because ONLY YOU know how to best parent your kid. The choices I make as a mother only apply to my little family- not yours. And I don't want you to judge yourself- or me- based on the choices I make.
But with that disclaimer, I'm going to dedicate this blog to a few select questions from readers, as long as you promise not to use them as some measuring stick by which you'll judge anyone, especially yourself. I'm sure you're doing a great job with your own kids!
1. From your Facebook posts, Siena seems so self-assured, creative, and spiritual. What have you done to raise such an exceptional child?
Yes, Siena is exceptional. But every child is exceptional. I believe every child is born with an inborn divine spark, and the worst thing we can do as parents is extinguish this natural spark. We do this by trying to impose our will upon our children, by controlling them, by competing with them, by criticizing them, by undermining their natural genius, by dismissing their creativity, by physically harming them, by neglecting them, by manipulating them, and by imposing upon them the limiting beliefs, self-sabotaging behaviors, and patterns we've inherited from our own childhoods. We do many of these things unconsciously through habitual behaviors, so the best thing we can do as parents is increase our own awareness through personal growth work aimed at helping us be more conscious, mindful individuals aware that we are all spirits having a human experience.
2. How are you educating your daughter?
Siena attends a private school inspired by Waldorf, not because we have elitest beliefs about public school (Matt and I both attended public schools), but because she attended her school for preschool and we loved the school's philosophy so much, we chose to keep her there. What I love best is that the school nurtures the spiritual growth of the children without being religious, and it fosters immense creativity, as well as very healthy non-competitive social skills.
3. What do you feed Siena?
Whatever we're eating. She never gets special food. Even as a baby, we just blended our dinner in a food processor and turned it into baby food. I joke that we're "raw vegan omnivores" because we eat a lot of raw, vegan foods, but we also eat meat from time to time. Siena loves vegetables, and I've taught her how to help me cook, so she's really proud to eat the stir fry she cut and stirred herself. She adores heirloom tomato soup, which we just made this week from tomatoes we got at the farmer's market. She won't drink the green juice Matt and I drink daily, but if we mix it with half apple juice and freeze it into molds, she loves "green apple popsicles." She also loves my go to smoothie- kale, frozen mango, and coconut water.

Here are some randoms from my August:
- Embracing all things fall. From muted pastel nails to creamy pumpkin scented hand soap from Bath & Body Works. A little early but I can't wait for weather to turn cooler!
[OPI "My Very First Knockwurst" from the Germany Fall 2012 Collection]
- Purple Sweet Potatoes. Did you know that purple sweet potatoes have a much higher level of Vitamin A than the usual orangey kind? They are so yummy and satisfying, but are low in unhealthy sugars. Perfect compliment for a healthy meal. I steam them to retain most of its flavors, and have been having them as both a mid day snack and a dinner side dish.
[Pairing sweet potatoes with grilled chicken, mixed greens and corn. So good!]
- Productivity! Ticked off a few things on my to do list - completed a project I was working on since June, caught up with friends I've bee meaning to see in a long time, and learned a new Chinese recipe emphasizing on summer seasonal vegetables.
- Sugar Cravings. Kicking lazy days and sugar cravings in the butt. I have a major sweet tooth and get that really bad craving every now and then. I've come to realize that eating healthy has helped me a lot in keeping my sweet tooth under control.
- The Weather. What's with the uber sunny Mondays, yet uber gloomy/stormy weekends? This has got to stop!
[I take random snaps like the ones above using my iPhone. You can find more on my Instagram @rachhanne]

It's been a long time coming, but finally there are bright economic signs nationally that seem here to stay a while.
America's economy, which sputtered in recovery the past couple of years since the "Great Recession" of 2008 officially ended is now humming with some real momentum. Consider only that America's unemployment rate for February fell to 7.7 percent - the lowest national level since December 2008 - and that the long-suffering housing market continues building momentum.
Home prices are rising nationally, and home starts are up substantially. Inventory is shrinking in most areas, and interest rates are low - creating a win/win housing market for both buyers and sellers. Concerns over the federal budget sequester have even subsided enough that the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose to a record high and notched a 10-day winning streak in March - the Dow's longest since 1996.
That's the good news.
But it's not time to celebrate just yet, especially in Mississippi. We have some work to do when it comes to recovery. Like the rest of the nation, things are better for many but aren't quite where we want them for all.
We heard last week, for instance, that Mississippi's unemployment rate for January jumped sharply - to 9.3 percent. The state's unemployment rate hasn't registered that high since February 2012. There's also this uncomfortable fact: 4 percent fewer Mississippians had jobs in January 2013 than did in January 2008.
So while the economy is heating up nationally, it continues to lag a bit here.
"The economy is obviously still very weak. That's not a big surprise," said state economist Darren Webb. "We've been pretty well flat to declining since the recovery began."
There are positives, of course. Rankin County has the lowest unemployment rate in the state, at 6.6 percent in January. Also, most economists expected Mississippi's recovery to lag a bit behind the rest of the nation, especially since the state was hit by the recession after the rest of the country.
Because it did not have the same exposure to financial services and a housing bubble like the rest of the country in 2008, Mississippi wasn't thrust into recession as rapidly. Naturally, its recovery may be a bit behind for similar reasons.
There's also this: Mississippi relies heavily upon low-skill jobs and federal money, which don't respond to economic stimulation the way industries do. So while numbers are turning positive nationally Mississippi still has some catching up to do.
The good news, though, is that if history stays on course, the improving economy nationally is a sign of future improvement for the state.

Firefighters from the township Wednesday needed about 30 minutes to extinguish a condominium fire at 409 Seaview Circle, according to fire officials.
Fire Chief Steve Conklin said the fire was reported by the homeowner at 3:32 p.m. The fire was contained to the first floor in a rear room of the two-story condominium.
Conklin described the damage as minimal and reported no injuries.
Neptune fire companies responding were: Unexcelled; Shark River Hills; Liberty and Hamilton. The Avon Fire Company provided mutual aid for the town. Neptune Emergency Services and its Office of Emergency Management also responded.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Wings Hauser both stars in and directs The Art of Dying. Hauser plays Jack, a vice cop who tries to unravel the mystery behind a series of murders in which each of the corpses has been found with stage makeup on its face. Turns out that the killer is Roscoe (Gary Werntz), a demented movie-maker whose overwhelming desire for realism has resulted in a variety of horrible deaths for his unwary actors. Each victim is dispatched in a manner evoking a famous film: one is killed in the shower, another dies while playing Russian Roulette a la The Deer Hunter, and so forth. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Traveling on a Budget - Cheap Trips to Hawaii
Incredibly beautiful and sparsely populated, the Big Island of Hawaii is larger than all the other more traveled Hawaiian islands combined. Car rentals allow tourists to discover wonders from snow-capped mountains to rain forests to the starkness of the desert. Best known for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and home to the longest volcanic eruption in recorded history, the Big Island intrigues both to those who who are looking for adventure and to those in search of luxury, with the flotilla of incredible mega-resorts located along Kohala Coast. Having cheap trips to Hawaii could make it into a very frequent destination for many visitors.
