All I Ever Needed to Know
July 20, 2012 By: Norman M. Dy MD FACP
1. It is all in the reps.
There is no overestimating the power of mindless repetition. Of course, if you decide to repeat something stupid over and over, like my old habit of eating donuts in the car every day on the way to work, you'll see results that you might not like.
2. Technique counts.
Doing anything over and over will get you results, but doing anything right will get you the results you want. Now, I am not going to go all Zen on you and say that every action in the world has a proper technique, but usually, if it's important, there are at least a few rules of the road attached to it. Learn enough rules of the road and pretty soon people will start coming over just to ask for your advice. Heck, they'll even pay you. You know what that means: right, you get to make crap up.
3. Balance is everything.
In the gym, as in life, doing too much of any one thing will get you in trouble. If you tilt too much in any direction, you will lose balance. I think it was Aristotle who said, "Strive for balance in all things." It was Einstein who said, "On a bicycle, to keep your balance, you have to keep moving." If you work on your biceps, work on your triceps. You get the picture.
4. Everything worth anything, is worth sweating for.
Every meaningful goal has some ancillary price to be paid. In the gym, it's sweat. In life, it varies, but there is always something to be given in return. Sweat gladly, sweat often. Do great things.
5. Find a routine, and stick to it.
See rule number 1, but think broader.
6. A good coach is worth her/his weight in gold.
Okay, not really, but they will help you in everything listed here. In addition, they might administer some, er, motivation when needed. By the way, Brick Bodies has some of the best trainers I have seen.
7. Warming up is important.
Warm up for everything just like you warm up for exercises, and for the same reason: avoid injury (to your body, to your career, relationship, you name it).
8. Music helps anything go faster.
Enough said.
9. Use it or lose it
With anything, unless you use what you have occasionally, you are bound to lose it.
10. When in doubt: work out
When you are puzzled, worried, upset, whatever, when you need to balance things out, do something you love with as much effort as you can muster. At the end of your session, you may not have answers, but you will feel better about things. At the end of the day, its all about attitude adjustment.

Secrets of Success
LILALI: Chap 13.9 - Gift of a Cape Buffalo
Friday, November 30, 2012
Living in love and loving it - got a walk with the puppy dog.
This last year so many people have helped me. I want to thank people and I would love to give Christmas gifts. Yet, my budget is not one that has room for gifts...not even baking cookies which has gotten so much more expensive and most of my friends are healthy eaters.
I have some lovely things from my world travels and I have decided to share some of these with special people in my life. An example: I have a family friend that when my dad needed oxygen and I didn't have my credit card on me, volunteered to put her credit card down. She has arranged flowers for my father in laws funeral several years back, run food across the street for my mom, helped call the plumber while I was mucking out the basement and on and on and on...... Well, I saw that she collects African things. So I decided to give her something I got there and I wrote this to go along with it. I'm going to have to do some thinking about what to do for the rest of the people on my list.
The letter:
The reservations had been lost at the Seronera Wildlife Lodge at the edge of Ngorongoro Crater. After a long, dusty drive over bumpy dirt paths to see the Tanzanian lions, zebras, elephants and baboons; the whole group was ready for a shower and soft bed. Instead, all the woman of our 2007 mission group packed into a small housekeeping room � on a hard, termite crawling floor.
I tried to sleep, but the wall to wall snoozing bodies blocked that concept, so I decided to get some fresh air. However, as I gently attempted to prop open the door, it locked behind me.
The open air reception area was closed for the night. I laid down on a bench, but the spider monkeys harassed me. I walked over to the rock grotto outdoor bar and in signing hand gestures I tried to explain what had happened to me to the bartender closing for the night. A few men were called and two bamboo sofas were pushed together, a kerosene lamp placed on a table and I was given a smelly old wool blanket which I was thankful for on the cooling night. Then everyone left for the night.
At first I thought, �This is not so bad, I�m going to get a better sleep than the rest of the gang�. Africa is alive at night and had a different plan for me. First, overhead bats flew in catching the many mosquitoes. It was frightening and a blessing at the same time. Just before a biting nat could land on my face a little sonar flyer would swish past my face saving me from the critter. As the night grew cooler bats and bait vanished. Finally some much needed rest.
Then a horrible smell hit my nose. It was the rotten mixture of a dozen cow barns. Then just outside the range of my eyeglass free vision appeared a massive blob. It grew larger and clearer the closer it came. Then I saw a nose as large as my face lean down to smell me. At this range I knew it was a Mbogo, one of the �big five� that kill people. Cape buffalo, along with the lion, leopard, elephant and rhino, as explained earlier in the day by our guide, Simba, were the most dangerous animals on the acacia tree savannahs. The one that claims the more lives each year, was inches from my face. I did the logic thing and played dead and prayed. The buffalo grew bored, instead of gored, moved on. I was also visited by baboons and saw a pack of African wild dogs hunt rabbits along the path, but nothing as terrifying as a huge cape buffalo.
A day before we were to leave our Sakila Village mission trek, we visited the town of Moshi for some last minute take home items. At a leather shop (Tanzanian Craftsmen of Shah Industries Ltd. P.O. Box 86 Moshi Tanzania), I saw albino workmen impressing images of the big five on chairs, purses, and wall hanging. One craftsman was cutting the leather and filling it with sawdust and glue to allow ears to come to life. I purchased the leather image of the cape buffalo in memory that I had left Africa literally meeting the top of the big five face-to-to face.
When I saw your wall of African object I knew my guy had found a new home. So, I hand off this image to you to share with you the knowledge that if anything ugly gets in your face�.you can survive it. Amani! (peace)
Side note: Tanzania has the highest albino population in the world. Albino's in Africa are treated very cruely (they are thought to bring bad luck and that their body parts have magic, so they are often killed). The company that made this, employees disabled people and albino's thus saving their lives.

Division of Medical and Biological Informatics
Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Meinzer
Research in our division is dedicated to medical image computing, computer-assisted therapy, and the development of a common IT infrastructure for workflow integration and clinical translation of research results.
We develop computational and mathematical methods to extract clinically relevant parameters from medical images and to relate and comprehensively analyze them in their context. Major challenges for our field are the quantitative assessment, validation, and integration of novel imaging and image analysis methods for application as biomarkers in different scenarios, and the optimization of individual cancer treatment and tumor control using quantitative biomedical information about metabolic, physiologic and functional parameters of the tissue.
The second research field of interest is covered by the junior group Computer-assisted interventions (Dr. Lena Maier-Hein), which is associated with the division. Current systems generally rely on the assumption that pre-operatively acquired images used to guide the intervention accurately represent the morphology of the tissue during the procedure. In soft tissue interventions, however, the target organ can be subject to considerable organ shift and deformation. Soft tissue navigation remains a subject of ongoing research.
The third strategic area of activity is the development of a common software platform. In addition to methodological research, the integration of methods in a common information technology (IT) platform is crucial for cooperative and data intensive medical research. Also, open-source and open-data are essential for the reproducibility of research results that depend on computation. Therefore, we aim at an integrated IT concept with appropriate platform technologies, cutting edge analytic tools, and a clear dissemination strategy.
Only if we are able to keep up the tight integration of the different methodological developments into a common platform, we will be able to get most out of the interdisciplinary environment at the DKFZ and come closer to our common vision: technical, cognitive systems that are integrated in the clinical workflow and support the physician in a comprehensive way while permanently retaining vital knowledge to be transferred, accumulated and reused for future cases. Ultimately, the aim is to enable the physician to carry out his work more effectively, providing the upmost quality and benefit to the patient.

With flowers starting to bloom and warm weather filling the air, there is an abundance of new sensory materials available to intrigue your toddler—to catch their senses, keep them busy and excited, and give them something new to play with. Of course, many toddlers (particularly boys) would rather run around outside just as fast and as long as you'll let them. However, there will be times when they need to engage in quieter play; times when they can't go outside to play, so you bring the outside in to them; and times when they need a little bit different kind of exploration for a little while. Sensory bins are the perfect quiet time activity. They tend to be very confined (though many of them end up spread all over the floor), and many of them can be prepared ahead and pulled out when you need them.
This one, you can't prepare much ahead of time (unless you're using fake flowers, in which case, you can make it whenever you want). However, there are likely plenty of flowers growing right around your home. You don't want to steal the neighbors' flowers (unless you're on really, really good terms with your neighbors), but you can use wildflowers, or trim a few out of your own garden.
Many kinds of seeds can be purchased in bulk—sunflower seeds; birdseed; whatever you think your little one would most like to play with. Be sure to find something that will be easy to clean up, though, especially if you're going to be playing inside. You might want to include measuring cups, spoons, or other toys to scoop them up and pour them out again.
Water play.
Early in the season, it's too cold for water play; but as it gets warmer, you can break out the water table, fill a tub with water and let them play "car wash," or break out the hose. Before you know it, it'll be summer time—and then the water can really come out!
Planting seeds.
Make a box full of mulch, and let your toddler plant their own seeds—or go outside, get some dirt, and turn old soda or juice bottles into your own planter. If your child wants to observe every step of the process, put some seeds on a damp paper towel, in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. It's a fascinating process that they can come back to again and again.
Everything has new leaves this time of year: the trees, the bushes, the flowers…take a few different types of leaves and mix them up in a box for your child to explore! Just remember, if you're going to bring them inside, check for bugs first!

As I write this, it's snowing and 23 degrees here in Northeast Ohio - but now is the time to start thinking about your spring and summer wardrobe. Fashion designers have already shown their Spring/Summer 2010 collections, so here are some tips on two big trends - what to look for and where to find it!
- 80's retro - One of the biggest trends on today's catwalks is a look many of you may remember fondly (or not so fondly) - the 80's are back! This look is perfect for those on a budget - while New York fashionistas are spending their inheritance on this look, those of us with more common sense that cash can re-create it at our local thrift shops. In the Canton/Akron area, I recommend Village Discount Outlet - great prices and selection! Look for structured jackets in bold colors, large bangle bracelets in mixed textures and colors, vests (the more embellished they are, the better) and dresses with wide belts.
- Biker chic accessories - If you're not under 20 years old, it's hard to get away with a lot of glitzy jewelry without looking like "mutton dressed as lamb", as the English say. But mix that sparkly look with a rough-n-tough style and you get a look most any age can wear. The best place locally for these items is Body Central - they have hundreds of different items with most price tags under $10.00! With at least 4 locations in Northeast Ohio (Akron, Fairlawn, Strongsville, and Youngstown), many more nationwide, and online shopping too, anyone can find a trendy necklace, scarf, bracelet, or earrings to perk up their wardrobe staples.

"Studying maps again, Disciple?" Kira Starr, the Jedi Exile, asked, entering the main room of the small freighter, the
Ebon Hawk
"Yes...it seems that though the Nav Computer is still locked, there are faint hints as to where Revan went before he disappeared..."
"And you're trying to find them..." she finished, gazing at the rotating hologram of a moon and its surrounding stars, trying to figure out what the Disciple saw. "Of course, I was never as skilled with details as you..."
"Believe me," he said with a chuckle, "If you stared at these maps as much as I have, you'd see it too."
The Exile laughed softly, leaning against the machine.
Revan, where have you gone?
And that was the spark. Major Déjà vu. Kiras laugh stopped in her throat as memory washed back to her of the past few weeks. Or, perhaps better to say, the
few weeks.
Kira? he asked, looking at her strangely, Are you alright?
No wonder this felt strange she said, a new light coming to her eyes, This already happened.
Disciple smiled knowingly, his eyes meeting hers. I was wondering when you would catch on. Though, I guess after all that had happened to you, it would only be natural youd be the last to awaken.
She fumbled for a moment. Wait wha You already remembered??
An hour ago. he explained, Though I had to see the pattern I had found in the maps to trigger it. I figured that I would humour you until you remembered.
Folding her arms across her chest, the Exile gazed at the ceiling.
I was the last, eh? That means Attons remembered as well?
Yeah, I have.
Her head snapped over to the entrance of the cockpit, where the pilot stood leaning against the doorframe.
Though Atton did have a tendency to appear angsty at times, she had to admit that his expression was quite dark, especially when his eyes alighted on her.
Were still in the same situation that we started in, though. he said, Low on supplies and fuel. Well have to land on Nar Shaddaa. his sour expression deepened. The Exile guessed he wasnt too happy about landing on the moon.

This week we gathered a group of NYC bloggers to talk Back to School trends. One trend we are really pushing is the lunch makeover. We're encouraging moms and dad to dump the processed food in favor of real, nutritious fare. We enlisted the help of Amie Valpone, of www.thehealthyapple.com/ to come up with some tasty lunch ideas for fall.
First up she shared a dip that can be made ahead and then packed in lunches with healthy crackers or veggies. Then we have the Turkey Wrap–a major hit at the event and I think it'll be applauded at your house too.
Carrot Coriander Dip (Gluten-Free and Vegan): Serves 4
6 large carrots, shredded
1 cup chick peas
2 Tbsp. raw cashews
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup hemp milk
1/2 tsp. coriander
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 tsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/3 tsp. freshly ground white pepper
Place all ingredients into a blender; pulse until smooth.
Transfer to the stove top, cook on low heat for 4-5 minutes or until thickened.
Kids can enjoy with sandwiches, crudites, crackers, toast or on grilled veggies.
Adults can enjoy atop grilled tofu, eggs, fish or as a dressing on salads.
Turkey Pumpkin Wraps (Gluten-Free): Serves 1
4 large kale, Swiss chard, romaine or Bibb lettuce leaves
4 slices organic thin sliced turkey
1 cup canned organic pumpkin
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3 Tbsp. Greek plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. almond butter
Pinch of cinnamon
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro
Lay lettuce leaves onto a flat surface. Lay turkey on top followed by almond butter, yogurt, pumpkin, cranberries, cinnamon and cilantro.
Wrap and enjoy alone or with Carrot Coriander Dip (above).

Curators, please read
Hello all!
As you might know, I'm very limited at the moment in my functions as curator due to technical issues. This is why I cannot make corrections myself. I noticed that a lot of corrections/clarifications/clean-ups are being made at the moment and I'm very very happy about that! Could we just please make sure we don't "correct" words that we're actually right in the beginning but are now wrong or unclear? I have seen a couple of those recently, one example being "levar", which does NOT mean "to get". Another one is "a folha", which is of course a sheet, but it also means leaf, which it used to say, but not anymore. Thanks for reading this and especially for all the work you are doing while I'm being a bit useless :-D Olívia
Hi Olivia, I am really sorry that the patrol is still not working properly - if you leave a comment on any items that you edit I will make sure that they go live ASAP.
Best wishes
The changes were probably mine. I am more than half way through reviewing all the words and have removed most of the duplications. I am sure there are things I have missed and mistakes made. Please point them out.
The conventions say that each portuguese word should have only one meaning and if there are more than one there should be a separate entry for each word. I am not convinced that it is the best way but it is the memrise way.
I cannot recall folha/sheet/leaf but would guess that the translation read sheet, leaf. I had to delete on of the meanings. Possibly there were a number of entries for that word which were merged. Also it would have to be made clear that it did not relate to bed sheets. I will add a new entry for folha/leaf.
You are right about levar. I don't know if this was one of my edits or not, I hope not :) I try to avoid using the word get in any translations as it has so many meanings in english as it can just confuse things.. I will change it "to take, carry".
Please carry on fixing/reporting, it is the only way to get a reliable list. What may make perfect sense to my mind may make no sense at all to everyone else. I am sure plenty of my revised translations are doubtful or incomplete; they will stay like that until someone either corrects it or reports it.
Just to follow up on folha: there are three entries for this word If you look in the dictionary you will see translations as sheet, leaf and sheet/leaf. http://www.memrise.com/topic/portuguese-brazil/search/
In due course I will be given them as duplicates and will make sure that there are two entries one for sheet and one for leaf. I guess it depends on which course you are doing as to which version you will see in the mean time.
I just wanted to say Hi! I am new as a curater here, and I wil try to don't mess the things! If I do anything wrong, please let me know. I am trying to add the sound/pronunciation to some words, and making different gramar levels and vocabulary courses... I have tehm set alreay, put didn't put on air before I have all pronunciations done.
I do not find in Portuguese (Brazil) "Featured" courses as I find in other languages. It would be helpful for lernners to have a set of about 7 suggested courses for them, between all community courses.
Welcome. Your mistakes will be anonymous and nobody knows which curator did any changes :)
We need native speakers to help, especially with recordings. My wife has recorded about 1000 words and is ready to do more but is waiting for a response from Ben on how to obtain a list of all words that do not have recordings.
The course content is yours (please do not duplicate words already in the wiki). You should make your course description as clear as possible and indicate the level of student it is aimed at and what sorts of specialised words to expect. After that it is up to the learners to choose the course they think best fits their needs.
I have not looked at courses for other languages but if there are good ideas to be copied I, for one, am very interested.
Hi! so... I am from Rio de Janeiro, and I will try my best to don't put that much accent on recordings. I have done 100 words... a little, but is a help, and I will put them today.
For the gramar courses, as in others I have seen, I am adding characters, to don't over write old ones, and make it as a new entry... not sure if it will give you guys any trouble.
About Featured Courses, I have no clue of how can it be done (Ben must knows), but it shows the top courses (those more complete and cool ones), what is great if your are not patient enough to look in all created courses. And created courses shows on top the one with more words, maybe a course with 50 words is better and more easy to begin than one with 50000... that is why is intresting to have featured courses. As in: http://www.memrise.com/topi... http://www.memrise.com/topi...
ok, i have already done something wrong! =P To "a política" I have added the wrong sound. How to delete it? (p.s.: i have added the correct one after and now both are there)
@luiza.queroga, could you add in the link to the word and I will get it fixed for you!
Best wishes
Thanks Ben! http://www.memrise.com/item/34539/a-politica-politics/ is suppose to be the second/oldest sound.
The German courses look very interesting, I hope you can compile some lists that compare well. htere seems to be plety of demand for good courses.
As much as you can please try to comply with the conventions here http://www.memrise.com/topic/brazilian-portuguese/conventions/
It does make the life of curators and moderators much easier. It will also make your life easier if your entries are not 'corrected'by moderators.
@luiza.queroga 'About Featured Courses, I have no clue of how can it be done (Ben must knows), but it shows the top courses (those more complete and cool ones), what is great if your are not patient enough to look in all created courses. And created courses shows on top the one with more words, maybe a course with 50 words is better and more easy to begin than one with 50000'
Yes, it would certainly be a great idea to have a featured beginners word-list of 50 or 100 easy and useful words with audio.
Thanks for recording some audio - it really does help
If there are duplications, how should they best be addressed?
Also, and this isn't just for the Portuguese lessons, is there any way when a change is made to a word like the meaning or definition changed to be more accurate, these words could go back to the greenhouse? It's frustrating to "take a break" and come back to a course, type an answer, only to find it's wrong because of a correction.
Basically there is nothing that can be done. I spent a lot of time merging duplicates but people upload new lists all the time and rarely seem use existing words. For the last month or so the merge function has not been working but I hope that it will in the new Memrise. Curators cannot merge words.
It is not logical to have one word with half a dozen different but similar translations. Nor is it logical to leave a word wrongly spelled or translated. Corrections have to be made and it will cause a short term problem for students. I don't see a way around this. Maybe Memrise could delay publication of lists until they have been approved but that will cause frustration for list owners and put a lot of pressure on moderators.
I found a lot of duplication, some even added by me without intention... by adding words to courses, I may had changed some information (wrong accent or spelling) and it added as new word. I can not merge them, can I? How to manage them, when I find some? Regards!
There are hundreds of duplicates, some words have five different translations and the Portuguese words are not always spelled the same. I had already merged hundreds of words but the merge feature stopped working about a month ago. I suspect it was to stabilize the database during the period that two versions of Memrise were running.
Curators cannot merge words. I am not sure how the new Memrise will deal with merging but it worked quite well in the past.
The tricky thing is to decide which word to accept as the definition and whether to add to that definition. I quite often include two or three definitions to give a hint to students that the word has changed. The idea is to later reduce the definition length.
As soon as the new Memrise allows it I will start merging.

This year's meatless Lenten Fridays are winding down; there are just two more after today.
Tonight's meatless dinner – paninis – are less elaborate and more casual. Additionally, the use of canned tuna fish make the paninis super easy to make.
Panini means sandwich in Italian. According to the Calphalon Web site, the origin of the panini predates refrigeration, which is why they were originally made with a cured meat like salami or pepperoni. Later, Italians began experimenting with various rustic breads and adding different cheeses and vegetables to their sandwiches. Still later, someone – it is not known whom – tried heating the panini, melding the bread, melted cheese, meat, and vegetables into one mouthwatering burst of flavor. God bless that culinary adventurer whomever he or she may have been. Today the panini is almost always grilled or toasted and served warm.
A fancy panini press isn't needed to create delicious paninis at home. It's great to have one, but basically any type of electric grill, such as a waffle maker, sandwich press, or even a George Foreman Grill can be used to make a panini. If none of these is available, a non-stick skillet will also work, as long as you have something heavy, like an aluminum foil-wrapped brick, or a heavy iron skillet, to press the panini as it is cooking. The marks from the electric panini press add to the panini's appearance, but it will taste just as wonderful without them.
In keeping with the repertoire of meatless Lenten Friday meals, tonight Tuna Paninis are on the menu. The following recipe is adapted from one found in "The Ultimate Panini Press Cookbook" by Kathy Strahs. This recipe uses fresh spinach in place of the arugula and sliced cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella. It was made without a panini press on the stove in a skillet.
Here's the recipe. Makes 4 paninis.
For the filling:
2 (5-ounce) cans solid white albacore tuna packed in oil
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the paninis:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 slices rustic bread
1 cup fresh baby spinach
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced and seeded
8 slices cheddar cheese
1. Drain the tuna, reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil. Combine the tuna, reserved oil, capers, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Season the tuna with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat the panini press or skillet.
3. For each panini, brush olive oil on two sides of bread. Flip over one slice of bread and top with a few leaves of spinach, the tuna salad, tomatoes and cheddar cheese. Close the sandwich with the other slice of bread, oiled side up.
4. Grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 2 minutes on each side.
Serve with a green salad and sweet potato fries. Click here for a sweet potato fries recipe, but if time is short, there are several brands of frozen sweet potato fries that are quite good.

VALE, Ore. (AP) — An eastern Oregon couple pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges in the shooting of their grandchild's father.
The Ontario Argus Observer (http://is.gd/bn2vd9) reports that 61-year-old Lester Reger and 50-year-old Erlene Reger entered their pleas Wednesday in separate Malheur County courtrooms.
A third defendant, John Martin Fritz Jr., had his plea hearing delayed for two weeks.
District Attorney Dan Norris said 19-year-old Ramon Fry was shot and wounded after returning the child to the couple's Ontario home following a visitation.
He said there had been a custody dispute involving the child.

Can you please recommend a good powder combo to use as blush and bronzer for everyday wear? Right now I am using the BB Apricot and my Guerlain terracota bronzer underneath but the Guerlain doesn't show. I also tried MAC format underneath but the result was kinda intense.
Anyway, I'm using a lot of MAC harmony with the albatross on top these days.
Anu, I love your blog sooo much. There are many make-up blogs out there and I really like yours. You're so honest, funny and smart. It's a real pleasure reading your posts. Keep up the good work.

Comments on "the perpetually youthful, vital, brilliant, force. . . " by Kate Falvey I am stunned - Paul - the perpetually youthful, vital, brilliant force that is Paul Violi - gone? No way. This is a hoax!
 I taught for twenty years at NYU with Paul. Only two weeks ago a former student of both of ours contacted me asking where Paul was - She wanted to arrange a get-together/reunion for alums and faculty who had been involved with our magazine, Icarus.
 Hardly seems possible. He was - and will continue to be - beloved, influential - and his rare combination of humor and shrewd intelligence will live on in his incredible storehouse of poetry - as well as in the hundreds of students, colleagues, and friends who were made better for having known him.

Crime Stoppers tip leads to suspected serial bank robber
A tip received by Crime Stoppers has led to the arrest of a serial bank robber, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Matthew Donald Maxwell, 29, was the suspect identified in the tip. Detectives believe he's responsible for a string of robberies in the Tampa Bay area, including five in Hillsborough County in 2014.
Two witnesses in a Sarasota County bank robbery were able to identify Maxwell, according to a sheriff's statement, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Detectives subsequently learned that Maxwell was vacationing in Atlanta and was arrested there.
Following his arrest, a search warrant was obtained for Maxwell's Sulphur Springs home in Tampa. Investigators found a large sum of money hidden in a secret compartment and other evidence, according to the statement.
Detectives say Maxwell, who went to lengths to disguise himself during the robberies, made a full confession to the crimes.
He was being held in Atlanta pending extradition.
The investigation is ongoing.

This shirt is a big hit at swim club.
The swim shirt we bought was pink. Super cute. I bought a Medium, for a 10/12 girl. When I pulled it out of the package it was huge. More like a women's large. I washed the shirt in hot and dried it on hot. It shrunk plenty. I would say a size 14.The shirt is well made and will most likely last for years.
Fit: Feels too big

Top highest paid tennis players 2014
Federer tops list of world's highest-paid tennis players in 2014.
Federer continues to be among the world's best players 16 years after he turned pro. He holds the records for most singles Grand Slam wins (17) and career prize money ($81 million). He appeared in a staggering 18 out of 19 Grand Slam finals between 2005 and 2010.
His endorsement portfolio is filled with long-term deals with blue-chip companies like Nike, Rolex and Credit Suisse. His sponsors collectively pay him more than $40 million annually. The latest addition is champagne brand Moet & Chandon, which signed Federer to a five-year deal at the end of 2012.
Federer roared back this year at the age of 33 when most tennis players have hung up their rackets for good. The U.S. Open kicked off last Monday and Federer is ranked second in the men's draw after racking up three titles so far in 2014. His most impressive performance may have come in defeat in an epic five-set loss to world No. 1 Novak Djokovic at the Wimbledon final.
Federer's long run at the top cements him as the highest-paid player in tennis with earnings of $56.2 million between June 2013 and June 2014.
1 Roger Federer
Total earnings: $56.2 million
Prize money: $4.2 million
Endorsements: $52 million
Federer holds the records for most singles Grand Slam wins (17) and career prize money ($84 million). His endorsement portfolio is filled with long-term deals with blue-chip companies like Nike, Rolex and Credit Suisse, who collectively pay him more than $40 million annually.
2 Rafael Nadal
Total earnings: $44.5 million
Prize money: $14.5 million
Endorsements: $30 million
The defending champion will miss the 2014 U.S. Open with a wrist injury. Nadal had a monster 2013 season where he won two Grand Slams (French Open, U.S. Open) and finished year ranked #1. The wins and top year-end ranking kicked in bonuses from sponsors in addition to the $14.5 million in prize money he earned between June 2013 and June 2014.
3 Novak Djokovic
Total earnings: $33.1 million
Prize money: $12.1 million
Endorsements: $21 million
The current No. 1 player in the world appeared in the finals of nine Grand Slams and pocketed $38 million in prize money between 2011 and 2013. His endorsement profile has picked up in recent years with lucrative deals with Peugot and Seiko inked this year.
4 Maria Sharapova
Total earnings: $24.4 million
Prize money: $2.4 million
Endorsements: $22 million
Sharapova's earnings took a hit when Nike sold Cole Haan in 2013, as Sharapova received hefty royalties on her best-selling line of Cole Haan shoes when it was under the Nike umbrella. But she remains the top female endorser in sports with deals with Nike, Avon, Samsung, Tag Heuer, Evian and Head.
5 Li Na
Total earnings: $23.6 million
Prize money: $5.6 million
Endorsements: $18 million
Li won the Australian Open in January for her second career Grand Slam title. The win triggered a massive bonus from sponsor Nike as well as her other endorsement partners. Li became a marketing darling in 2011 when she won the French Open to become the first Asian-born tennis player ever to win a Grand Slam singles event. She will miss the U.S. Open with a knee injury.
6 Serena Williams
Total earnings: $22 million
Prize money: $11 million
Endorsements: $11 million
The top-ranked female player has dominated her sport since turning pro in 1995. Her $57 million in career prize money is almost double No 2. on the list, Maria Sharapova. Williams can't match Sharapova's endorsements, but she maintains deals with Nike, Wilson, Gatorade and OPI.
7 Andy Murray
Total earnings: $19.2 million
Prize money: $4.1 million
Endorsements: $15 million
In 2013, Murray became the first Brit to win Wimbledon since 1936, triggering lucrative bonuses from sponsors Adidas and Head. Murray's Adidas deal expires this year, and he is expected to sign a lucrative new agreement with either Adidas or Nike. Murray added a patch deal with Standard Life in 2014 worth more than $2 million a year.
8 Victoria Azarenka
Total earnings: $11.1 million
Prize money: $3.6 million
Endorsements: $7.5 million
Injuries have plagued Azarenka this year, but she finished 2013 ranked No. 2 in the world, triggering big bonuses from sponsor Nike. She signed a two-year deal with Esurance in March joining Wilson, Red Bull and watchmaker Citizen in her endorsement stable.
9 Kei Nishikori
Total earnings: $11 million
Prize money: $2 million
Endorsements: $9 million
Nishikori reached a career high ranking of No. 9 in May after his second title of the year and is the only Japanese tennis player to ever be ranked in the top 10. His role as the top player in Japan helped Nishikori rack up a loaded endorsement portfolio, which includes Uniqlo, Wilson, Adidas, Delta Airlines, Weider and Tag Heuer.
10 Caroline Wozniacki
Total earnings: $10.8 million
Prize money: $1.3 million
Endorsements: $9.5 million
World #1 golfer, Rory McIlroy, broke off his engagement to Wozniacki in May, but the Danish tennis pro rebounded to win her first tournament in nine months in July. Wozniacki kicked off a new Adidas deal last year that is one of the richest in the sport.

Disease Proof
Beware the High Fructose Corn Syrup
In a reviewing science writer Michael Pollan's new book in The New York Times, David Kamp discusses the politics of corn, and how it affects obesity:
...he lays out the many ways in which government policy since the Nixon era — to grow as much corn as possible, subsidized with federal money — is totally out of whack with the needs of nature and the American public.
Big agribusiness has Washington in its pocket. The reason its titans want to keep corn cheap and plentiful, Pollan explains, is that they value it, above all, as a remarkably inexpensive industrial raw material. Not only does it fatten up a beef steer more quickly than pasture does (though at a cost to ourselves and cattle, which haven't evolved to digest corn, and are therefore pre-emptively fed antibiotics to offset the stresses caused by their unnatural diet); once milled, refined and recompounded, corn can become any number of things, from ethanol for the gas tank to dozens of edible, if not nutritious, products, like the thickener in a milkshake, the hydrogenated oil in margarine, the modified cornstarch that binds the pulverized meat in a McNugget and, most disastrously, the ubiquitous sweetener known as high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Though it didn't reach the American market until 1980, HFCS has insinuated itself into every nook and cranny of the larder — in Pollan's McDonald's meal, there's HFCS not only in his 32-ounce soda, but in the ketchup and the bun of his cheeseburger — and Pollan fingers it as the prime culprit in the nation's obesity epidemic.
As we have blogged about in more detail before, in Disease Proof Your Child Dr. Fuhrman shows no love for high fructose corn syrup:
Soft drinks and processed foods are full of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS is not only fattening, but this inexpensive and ultra-concentrated sugar has no resemblance to real food made by nature. It is another experiment thrust upon our unsuspecting children with unknown dangerous consequences. Besides sugar, corn syrup, and chemicals, these drinks often contain caffeine, an addictive stimulant. Children crave more and more as they get older. By adolescence most children have become soft-drink addicts. It is no surprise that six out of the seven most popular soft drinks contain caffeine. Contrast this high level of sugary "liquid candy" with the meager intake of fresh produce by children and teenagers, and it is no surprise that we have an obesity epidemic beyond all expectations.
In The Netherlands, almost nothing is sweetened with HFCS, yet we also face an obesity epidemic. I do not trust any author who singles out one specific ingredient as "the" cause for obesity. I never ate products with HFCS, but at one point I weighed 240 pounds (at 5'7")
I think the danger with labeling HFCS as very bad, is that people start to see ordinary sugar as "good". The real problem, as I am sure Dr Fuhrman would agree, is that people do not eat enough natural foods and too much processed foods, no matter what those foods are sweetened with.
I think HFCS can be used as a "marker" when reading labels-- e.g. when you see it listed as an ingredient of a food item, you can bet that that particular "food" is overly processed and of poor nutritional value. So while it may not be the actual culprit in the nutritional ills, it would be wise to avoid the stuff.
Well, the only possible answer to to ban it and restrict the activities of big agri-business.
We are powerless before the combined might of government and agri-business.
In fact, this morning, I was just innocently walking by a McDonald's when these two guys with Archer-Daniels-Midlands shirts wrestled me to the ground and forced two (two!) McGriddle Sandwiches down my throat, washed down with a HFCS-laden Death-Coke.
I've been Super-Sized!! I live in a Fast-Food Nation!! I have no autonomy or control over my eating habits or those of my children!
Help! Help! Oh, why, oh why doesn't the government DO SOMETHING?
Sometimes there are additives in processed foods that are not listed on the label. Wouldn't surprise me if HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) was one of them and in the European diet. Europeans seem to be pickier eaters than Americans (French won't eat genetically modified food), so if I (as an evil worldwide conglomerate food processor and distributor) wanted to put something in their processed food, I would conveniently leave the name of it off the label or disguise the name.
When will the US wake up to the poisoning/fattening affect of HFCS???
Something else that should be considered.
The Public Health Significance of Dietary Fructose
The following are excerpts from research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1993:58 (suppl) 820S-823S. The sections selected suggest the potential for intestinal irritation which might occur from excessive long term exposure in susceptible individuals who's cells produce little or none of the enzyme required to break down fructose for digestion:
In terms of its potentially adverse health effects, fructose is a cariogenic sugar with the potential for malabsorption, particularly when it is consumed without glucose. There is a subset of the population that needs to avoid or limit fructose consumption because of intolerance or abnormal lipogenic responses.
More specific concerns related to individuals or sub-populations also exist. For fructose, some of these concerns include the potential for malabsorption, intolerance, increased lipogenesis by carbohydrate-sensitive hyperinsulinemic subgroups, cariogenicity and changes in behavior.
- - - -total fructose availability has remained relatively constant during the past 20 years as has the glucose-to-fructose ratio in the food supply, although free fructose exposure has increased with the shift from sucrose to High Fructose Syrup and with the increased use of crystalline fructose.
Malabsorption of fructose occurs in patients with hereditary fructose intolerance and other inherited disorders of fructose metabolism, as reviewed by Hommes.
Malabsorption also may occur in normal children and adults, particularly when high doses of fructose are administered, because the intestinal absorptive capacity for fructose appears to be limited, as reviewed by Riby, et al.
This effect appears to be dose-related and is usually self-limiting. Some fruit juices, such as apple and pear juice contain higher concentrations of fructose than glucose and also contain sorbitol; when excessive amounts of these juices are consumed, the risk of carbohydrate malabsorption is increased and typical symptoms of diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal distention and abdominal pain may be experienced.
Note: The preceding data was published in 1993 and would need updating. This information was available then and should have been widely known and the catalyst for enactment of regulations with warnings and limitations on the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup in food products to protect the unsuspecting fructose intolerant IBS portion of the American population.
You want to know what's KILLING US??It's the HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. A CHEMICAL that is labeled FALSELY as a sugar!! It is a sugar like rubbing alcohol is a vodka!! HFCS is a poison that has been used as a cheaper sugar substitute. The FDA NEVER TESTED IT!! Watch King Corn DVD. The cornsyrup industries would NOT let anyone in the manufacturers! WHY?? Becuase they do not want the public to see that it's a CHEMICAL!! Do not eat foods with HFCS!! Google it and READ the information! This is why MY MOM died of Pancreatic Cancer at age 36 and she was normal weight, active and lived a CLEAN life, no booze or ever any cigs, or drugs (a suzy homemaker). The corn industry does NOT want you to know the truth and the FDA does not give a crap. The FDA is PAID by the corn industry!!!
HFCS AND Partiallly Hydrogenated Vegetable oil
I only discovered this site today, via Gerry Pugliese's polemical defence of Dr Fuhrman's recommendations.
My opinion is that this site is a valuable one and so are sites like Barry Groves'.
Basically you both are aiming in the same direction, away from processed foods and supporting fresh foods, a balanced diet.
However the science is in now regarding HFCS and polyunsaturated oils. Avoid both.
Polyunsaturated fats are unstable at room [body] temperatures and strain the body's antioxidant capacities, amongst other things such as imbalances in omega3,omega 6 ratios. Saturated fats are stable at body temperatures [and liquid], and do not affect the antioxidant capacity of the body. Our bodies know how to handle them.
We evolved to digest meat and starch as we have the requisite enzymes. So red meat is not unhealthy [this may not be true in the USA as most meats are contaminated now by additives and improper diets such as grain fed beef] Fat is the most valuable food to humans, but you cut the fat off.
All in moderation is the key. We can't all switch to an all meat diet. Only the wealthy few would survive the famine for everyone else. There aren't enough fish in the sea either.
Fresh vegetables are a great source of nutrition, but industry has tampered with them too.
The nutrition in broccoli is now around 40% of that a generation ago.
We are heading towards a soil degradation tipping point due to superphosphate use stripping soils of their nutritional value. Farmers markets are a way around the current problem, but they are not a solution when we are heading towards 9 billion.
Fun times, don't you agree!!??

Why a Pharmaceutical Cleanroom?
USP 797 on pharmaceutical compounding is unclear. Its requirements on low, medium and high risk compounding cause varied interpretation, if not downright consternation. And, it is still under revision. Proposed updates for commentary should appear in the March-April 2006 issue of Pharmacopeial Forum, the USP journal.(1)
One thing is clear: new air quality requirements for compounding. The traditional critical air environment of ISO Class 5, must now be surrounded by a positive pressure buffer room of ISO Class 7.(2, 3) The buffer room is required if the critical area is in a Laminar Airflow Workbench (LAFW); it is recommended if the critical area is within a Barrier Isolator.(2)
Pharmacists also are being asked to implement and improve the air environment surrounding the production of hazardous drugs.
Hazardous drug compounding should be done in a biological safety cabinet, vented 100 percent to the outside, according to The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in September 2004.(4)
The cabinet should be in a negative pressure cleanroom, as recommended in a December symposium sponsored by the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP).(5) A USP subcommittee on 797 is "working on statements" concerning the air flow and the pressure of the cabinets' location. Those proposals may also be published in the April revisions.
A cleanroom is the best way to create the buffer room. It consists of smooth, impervious floor, walls and ceiling with proper vents and doors, to support the heart of a cleanroom, the HVAC with HEPA filters, which controls the air pressure, creating the ISO Class 7 during operation. It also maintains the desired temperature and humidity. The HVAC basically operates itself, making the room a clean, simple, and thus employee friendly way to be compliant and produce safe product.
Consider possible layouts of the "Cleanroom Complex" as one ASHP panel expert describes it.(5) The ante-room, or gowning room, can open to two positive pressure rooms, with one for low to medium risk compounding and the other for high-risk; or a positive pressure room for all three levels; or a positive pressure and a negative pressure room; or just one positive pressure room. Rooms connect only through hands-free doors or strip curtains, and if needed, pass through cabinets for product.
This set-up insures that air flow and pressure is ALWAYS maintained in the buffer room to provide as clean an environment as possible. As one Texas pharmacist put aptly, "an atmosphere with the least amount of chance of a problem."(6)
Not only is the atmosphere as safe as possible, it can be argued that the cleanroom complex promotes good aseptic procedure.
Simply having to enter a special area, don special garb, and pass through another door into an environment containing only the needed equipment, promotes the mindset that special and proper procedures are routine in the space. Documented and non-documented are observed and self-caught lapses in good technique or practice; the cleanroom complex fosters attention to standard practices. A technician's work quality and productivity is enhanced, not hurt, by putting the traditional Laminar Airflow Workbench (LAFW) into a cleanroom.
With its temperature and humidity controls, its professionally designed HEPA filtering and HVAC specific to the critical area location, and its modular construction, the cleanroom provides the safest, most durable and viable compounding atmosphere, particularly as one looks years ahead. Future compliance requirements, increase in space needs due to growth in amount of compounding, or to change to physical space is all easily accommodated through the modular construction. Cleanrooms provide a clean environment for using any equipment, benches, or cabinets.

UPDATED JUNE 1 One of the dogs has been found. The black dog with white (Mazie) is still missing.
Take a good look at these two dogs. They're missing, and the family has been given the runaround as to where they are. The Facebook thread with more information is here.
A couple in Tennesse left their two Great Danes, Freckles and Mazie, with a family friend. The friend was to care for the two dogs while the couple moved. When the time came to get their dogs back, that friend told Jeff and Melissa she had given the dogs to her sister.
The sister is saying she passed the dogs to friends to watch in Hernando, Mississippi. After several months of searching for the dogs, who are brother and sister, the family is now turning to social media. Law enforcement and area vets have turned up nothing.
According to their Facebook post, Freckles and Mazie were last seen in the Memphis/Collierville area in Tennessee. There are several who believe they've seen the siblings in different areas of the southern United States.
They could be anywhere, so please share their story and photo with friends, especially those in Tennessee and Mississippi.
It would be next to impossible to hide such large dogs. They have to be walked sometime, and hopefully someone who has seen their story will be the one to spot them, and help get Freckles and Mazie home.
If seen, please call 901-679-9989 OR 901-570-2799 (Jeff and Melissa Frost).
It only takes a minute to click the share button. Every day that goes by is another day this family has to worry about the safety of their dogs.

50 years old and still going strong. That's ETV. And to celebrate the anniversary, they're holding an open house this weekend at their Columbia studios.
At this family friendly event, you can meet PBS Kids characters and learn about the inner workings of ETV.
From the press release:
The Cat in the Hat and Clifford the Big Red Dog are just two of the big-time celebrities coming to Columbia on Saturday, Sept. 25 for a party that's been a half-century in the making.
They will be joining other PBS Kids characters, including WordGirl, Super Why!, Peep, and of course the ETV Kids mascot, Smart Cat, to help ETV wrap up the year-long celebration of its first 50 years.
Together, the six will be meeting and greeting with their young fans, who will have the opportunity to shake paws, take pictures and collect swag during the family festival, which begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 6 p.m. The event will be held at ETV's Columbia studios, located at 1041 George Rogers Blvd.
Of course, ETV and ETV Radio celebrities will also be on-hand for the celebration, including:
- Mark Quinn, host of "The Big Picture"
- P. A. Bennett, host of "Connections"
- "Team Making It Grow!" including Rowland Alston, Amanda McNulty, and Tony Melton
- Dr. Walter Edgar, host of ETV Radio's "Walter Edgar's Journal" and ETV's "Take on the South"
- Katie Mixon, host of "Riverbanks Roundup," a co-production of ETV and ITV
Children and their parents will also get a chance to learn what it takes to create some of their favorite local shows by going behind-the-scenes and seeing how a television station works. Tours will include everything from the studios and cameras to the editing suites and even Master Control, the nerve center that broadcasts each and every show into viewer's homes.
"We want folks to have a great time exploring the studios and meeting our celebrities, but we also hope they will walk away knowing that we are so much more than just Elmo and Big Bird," said David Crouch, president of ETV. "We are committed to helping improve the education of every student, and providing training and professional development not only to teachers but also to law enforcement officers and even hospital staff around the state."
Showing that it is more than just the television and radio stations that are well-known to the public, ETV will also display a side of itself that many people may not know about: its deep involvement in the education of all South Carolinians.
Staff from ETV's Education department will be showing off ETV's many educational products, some available only in schools, such as StreamlineSC and OnePlaceSC, as well as those that are available to everyone, including its educational Web portal, Knowitall.org.
Representatives from Instructional Television (ITV), a division of the Department of Education, will explain how they work hand-in-hand with ETV's production staff to create additional original content that is made available directly to schools, including French, Spanish and German language classes, "The ETV Stock Market Program," "Detective Bonz and the SC History Mystery," and many, many more.
The Columbia Fire Department and Richland County Sheriff's Department will also be present to provide tips on how to stay safe, while the State Museum, the Richland County Public Library and other community partners will add to the celebration, sharing additional resources that will inspire a life-long love of learning.
ETV is South Carolina's statewide network with 11 television stations, eight radio stations and a closed-circuit educational telecommunications system in more than 2000 schools, colleges, businesses, and government agencies.

Encircled by Democrats pushing hard for Medicaid expansion, the Republican-controlled House of Delegates is stiffening its spine in opposition.
"Medicaid is a complicated system with a lot of moving parts — and the dollars keep changing," cautions state Delegate Steve Landes.
The vice chairman of the state Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission told Watchdog that no one — including Gov. Terry McAuliffe — knows the fiscal impact of expanding the multibillion-dollar indigent-care program in Virginia.
McAuliffe has said the commonwealth is losing $5 million every day it does not add 400,000 poor Virginians to its Medicaid rolls. The newly organized Democratic Senate is ready to sign on.
The Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association is also pressing for expansion, and has the ear of Emmett Hanger, a Republican senator who chairs the MIRC.
But House Republicans, wielding a veto-proof majority, want an external auditbefore proceeding. They say they will not consider any budget amendments from the governor that would expand Medicaid this year.
GOP Delegate John O'Bannon, a Henrico County physician, says taxpayers would be best served if Virginia examined other states' experiences first. "Better to be a good imitator, rather than a risky innovator," he said.

The University is beginning the process of building a new Residence Life and Learning Hall, which is slated to be open in the fall of 2011.
The new facility will include a 120-student Residence Life Hall and a 9,000-square-foot student University Commons area for all students. The as-yet unnamed residence hall will be located in the center of campus, between Brown Hall, the Bryenton Honors House and Gundlach Theatre.
The new residence hall will address Heidelberg's two paramount strategic goals, improving academic excellence and improving the student experience.
Heidelberg is partnering with University Housing Solutions of Mansfield, Ohio, to construct the $5.85 million facility. The exterior of the structure will feature a stone and brick façade that blends with the current campus architecture.
Aimed primarily at sophomores, the hall will include five, two-story, 24-student "pods," each with 12 students per floor in bedrooms surrounding an open, two-story living/gathering space. The living space will include a balcony, loft seating, kitchen, soft seating and study spaces to reinforce the academic mission.
An important part of the project will be the student commons area, filled with a variety of offerings that will entice all students to gather. The commons will be attached to the residence hall but constructed as its own space with a separate entry.
President Rob Huntington described the Residence Life and Learning Hall as "an engaging facility for student activities and gatherings."
"It will strengthen the student experience at Heidelberg and add substantive value to answering the question, 'Why Heidelberg?' "
Student input will be heavily weighed as plans take shape for the amenities that will be included in the commons area. These might include an internet café/smoothie bar, a student lounge, flat-screen TVs, meeting space and more.
"Input from students, prospective students and alumni will drive these choices during the design process," President Huntington said.

Johnny Hodges: Prelude to a Kiss
Prelude to a Kiss
Johnny Hodges (alto sax)
Duke's Men: The Small Groups, Vol. 2 (Columbia/Legacy 48835)
Johnny Hodges (alto sax), Mary McHugh (vocals), Cootie Williams (trumpet), Lawrence Brown (trombone), Otto Hardwick (alto sax), Harry Carney (baritone sax), Duke Ellington (piano), Billy Taylor (bass), Sonny Greer (drums).
Composed by Duke Ellington, Irving Gordon & Irving Mills.
Recorded: New York, August 24, 1938
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Two weeks after recording "Prelude to a Kiss" under Ellington's aegis, Johnny Hodges switched from soprano to alto sax, added vocalist Mary McHugh and redid his boss' serenade under his own name. If Miss McHugh found the song daunting, it doesn't show. She handles its slippery chromatic slopes and heady intervallic ascents with affecting naturalness, setting up a half-chorus of Rabbit at his languid best. Whereas the Maestro's first version of what would become a standard was overly sentimental, Hodges and McHugh clarify Duke's masterful construction with simplicity and directness. The lyric contends, "You could turn it to a symphony: a Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch." We prefer an Ellington tune with a Hodges touch.

At an early Fifties club performance by Hodges in New Jersey, during the stretch when he had split from the Duke, a skinny sprout named Johnny Updike is supposed to have yelled out, "Let that Rabbit run!" The bouncer ejected him immediately, and so the pimply kid lost his taste for Jazz--started trying to attract girls some other way. Hodges, implacable as ever, just ignored the whole thing.

Sammy! The Ring-a-Ding Al Jolson. Singer, dancer, actor, comedian; by acclamation World's Greatest Entertainer. Sammy was also Hollywood's most insecure star. Whether sucking up to Sinatra and Nixon or cradling himself in Dean Martin's arms onstage in Vegas so Dino could "thank the NAACP for this award," Davis was more desperate for acceptance than a stray puppy at the pound. Here, he resurrects Jolson's best-forgotten 1918 hit as pretext to impersonate him and 17 other demigods from "the nostalgia that is Show Business," subjecting us to a cringing, 10-minute gag-me-with-a-spoon spectacle of a man obse- quiously digging his own grave. Pathetic.
