In reply to:
backayonder: This is so typical of DP review.
They show favoritism by reviewing the cardboard homemade halloween costume Nikon DSLR but totally ignore the Canon, Sony, Pentax models. I spent weeks making a Leica version. In hindsight using a painted manhole cover for the red dot was not the best idea, but you live and learn.
I don't see how it is 'favortism' as it's an article of someone who has no assocation with DP. Also...did you or someone you know submit pictures and/or video to places on the net for word to get around?

How to cook the perfect - It's PERFECT!,
This review is from: How to Cook the Perfect... (Hardcover)
I don't normally do this kind of thing with reviews but I felt compelled to after owning this book for around 6 months. I am a keen cook and have a real love for food, wanting to develop the fundamental skills of good cooking and being a fan of Marcus' work made me buy this book and I am so glad i did.
His two Michelin star credentials shine through in the recipes which I would call conventional but delicious, the method not too complicated and the results amazing! By far and away the best bit about this book are Marcus' 'Key's To Perfection' that accompany all recipes, outside the main body of text (often on the opposite page with pictures) he gives you little tips and advice on how to reach 'perfection'.
He also doesn't assume that it will all go well first time round, the 'All Is Not Lost' sections of the recipes give's you a chance to rescue the meal or simply take it to another level.
I have over 20 cook books including Ramsay, Pierre White, Aitkins, Torode, Worrall Thompson, Slater and Atherton but this is the one i turn to time and time again - a truly perfect cook book to have in the kitchen, I cant review it well enough, if Amazon had six stars this would certainly get it!

The aim of this study was to determine the morphometric development and location of the kidneys during the fetal period.
Three hundred and forty-four fetal kidneys, obtained from 172 human fetuses and aged between 9 and 40 weeks, were used in this study. Fetuses were divided into four groups according to the gestational weeks: first trimester, second trimester, third trimester, and full-term gestation. First, the anterior abdominal wall was dissected. Topographic localization of the kidneys in the abdominal cavity was then assessed. The distance between the inferior pole of the kidney and iliac crest was measured. The vertebral levels of the superior and the inferior poles and relations to ribs of the kidneys were determined. The distances between hilum of the kidneys and inferior vena cava, abdominal aorta, and midline of the vertebral column were determined. The dimensions (width, length, and thickness), weight, and volume of kidneys were measured.
The results showed that the distance between the inferior poles of the kidneys and the iliac crest increases with gestational age. The vertebral levels of the superior and inferior poles of the kidneys increased during the fetal period. The level of the left kidney was higher than the level of the right kidney in the fetal period. The posterior surface relations to the ribs showed certain ascendance during gestation, corresponding to vertebral levels. However, fetal kidneys do not reach the same level as adults at full term. The kidneys move farther apart from the midline of the body during the fetal period. The dimensions, weight, and volume of the kidneys increased with gestational age during the fetal period. The ratio between kidney weights and fetal body weights were determined, and we observed that the ratio decreased during the fetal period. There were no sex or laterality differences in any parameter.
The morphometric parameters and the location of the fetal kidneys were determined by the present study. This will also contribute to imaging of fetal kidneys and detection of kidney abnormalities in the intrauterine period. We hope that the present results can provide some useful findings for radiological (ultrasound and MR) studies.

Home > Press > Philips Forms Several Health Research Alliances: Philips has signed research agreements with several partners recently.
|Advancing research through corporate and institutional partnerships
NeuroNexus Technologies and Philips Research have signed a joint research agreement to develop next-generation deep brain stimulation devices with the ambition to improve the treatment of neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. By combining Philips Research's strengths in microelectronics, signal processing, ultra-low power system design and miniaturization with NeuroNexus Technologies' expertise in micro-scale electrode design and fabrication, the two companies aim to show the technical feasibility of highly programmable and MRI-safe deep brain stimulation devices. Their initial research will aim to meet the functional requirements of a deep brain stimulation device for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. This is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that impairs people's motor skills and speech, leading to a progressive loss in quality of life. Recent publications suggest that deep brain stimulation could also be suitable for treating psychiatric disorders such as clinical depression.
Late-stage Parkinson's disease is increasingly being treated using deep brain stimulation - a technique that involves implantation of a medical device, a "brain pacemaker" that sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the patient's brain via permanently inserted electrodes. The pacemaker control unit is normally implanted into the patient's chest or abdomen, with a connecting lead routed under the skin to the brain electrode. While offering an effective therapy that helps many patients, currently available technologies have significant limitations.
"As currently used, deep brain stimulation poses several challenges to both the patient and the physician: The implantation requires a lengthy surgical procedure involving both neurosurgeons and neurologists. Following surgery, setting the right stimulation parameters requires painstaking efforts on the part of the neurologists before the patient can be sent home. In the long term, patients may for example develop spine problems that would require further examination using MRI, but with current implants MRI scans are not possible due to the materials used in the fabrication of DBS electrodes and the stimulators," explains Prof. Maximilian Mehdorn, Head of Neurosurgery at the Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel, Germany.
The joint research project aims to address these clinical needs, and will leverage Philips' expertise in medical imaging and surgery planning with the aim of simplifying the implantation process and shortening the surgical procedure. Philips will also contribute to making the entire device MRI compatible so that patients fitted with the implant are not barred from MRI scans. With its world-leading track record in neural micro-electrodes, NeuroNexus Technologies brings in key technology and knowledge for novel brain probes.
"As neuroscientists become increasingly able to understand the language of the brain and fix neurological conditions with advanced electrical stimulation techniques, they will need a new generation of DBS devices that give them much greater flexibility in tailoring therapy," explains Daryl Kipke, chief executive officer of NeuroNexus Technologies. "With our unique micro-scale implantable electrode technology and Philips Research's integration expertise, we are well positioned to make a significant leap forward in delivering technologies that will support neurologists and neurosurgeons in improving patient treatment."
"Contributing to the development of MRI-compatible deep brain stimulation devices may ultimately allow us to combine DBS technology with our functional imaging, image-guided intervention and therapy planning capabilities to produce integrated treatment suites for neurodegenerative disease," says Henk van Houten, senior vice president of Philips Research and head of its Healthcare Research program. "It's yet another example of where the coming together of in-depth clinical knowledge and world-class technology expertise can work to the benefit of patients."
Many Other Research Partnerships
Philips has also signed a long-term research partnership agreement with the West China Hospital, an affiliate of the Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. Under the seven-year agreement, Philips will collaborate with West China Hospital to develop new medical imaging procedures for the diagnosis and monitoring of certain types of cardiovascular disease (including coronary artery disease - one of the major diseases in China), cancer and mental diseases.
The Maastricht University Medical Centre (UMC+), University Medical Center Aachen (UKA) and Philips have signed a letter of intent to set up a strategic partnership, the aim of which is to pool their knowledge, expertise and experience in the field of healthcare. The planned cooperation will make it possible for new scientific findings to be made available more quickly for routine application in hospitals, thus benefiting patients. The universities of Aachen and Maastricht are also supporting the initiative.
Philips and the two university medical centers intend to work closely together and to combine their advanced clinical knowledge and research specifically in the fields of cardiovascular disease and cancer treatment. Their cooperation will cover the research, development and application of new diagnostic and treatment methods. Among other things, the partners' aim is to set up a joint research program in the field of medical imaging technology.
Philips and the University of Urbino (Urbino, Italy) have signed a research agreement to study the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticle contrast agents inside living blood cells to prolong the retention time of these agents in the blood. Injected as free particles, magnetic nanoparticle contrast agents are quickly excreted from the blood via the patient's liver, which limits their application. During the collaboration, the University of Urbino will investigate the integration of magnetic nanoparticles into red blood cells and their biological interactions in the human body, while Philips Research will evaluate the properties of these contrast agents in its medical scanners. The collaboration between will last for approximately two and a half years, with expected initial applications in the treatment of cardiovascular disease - one of the biggest killers in the western world.
Philips has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) establishing a long-term research partnership with the University Medical Center (UMC) Utrecht, the Netherlands' largest university hospital. Philips and UMC Utrecht will seek to develop new solutions for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of major disease areas. Philips and UMC will develop collaborative research projects in medical imaging applied to brain disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal disease and pulmonary disease. A key area of focus outlined in the MoU is image guided oncology interventions. Philips and UMC Utrecht expect the agreement to result in new treatment methods that will ultimately lead to an improved quality of healthcare delivery.
Philips has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a five-year research collaboration with King's College London.Under the multi-million Euro agreement, Philips and King's College London's Division of Imaging Sciences will develop new medical imaging research projects with a particular focus on cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology. One of the key areas of focus will be on combining different imaging technologies, such as X-ray, MRI, ultrasound and CT, to help doctors navigate their way through a patient's heart during minimal-invasive procedures.

Liv Tyler and Viggo Mortensen Are Highest Earning Couple
Liv Tyler and Viggo Mortensen have topped a new list of Hollywood's highest earning on-screen couples thanks to their "Lord of the Rings" romance. The pair's Middle Earth lovers, Aragorn and Arwen, helped director Peter Jackson rake in $2.9 billion at the worldwide box office - making them the top-earning Hollywood couple, according to a new Forbes magazine list of duos who have appeared in at least two films together in the last 20 years.
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst's onscreen chemistry in the "Spider-Man" franchise pulled in $2.5 billion, while Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's doomed relationships in 1997 "Titanic" and "Revolutionary Road" in 2008 earned a combined $1.9 billion.
Meanwhile, Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox's adventurous affair in the two "Transformers" blockbusters took in $1.5 billion. But Forbes editors predict the fourth place entry - "Twilight" lovers Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart - will have the most bite when the vampire franchise is completed.
Pattinson and Stewart's passionate relationship in the first two installments of the franchise has already grossed $1.1 - and two "Twilight" follow-ups have yet to hit cinemas. George Clooney and Julia Roberts' flirtatious pairing in "Ocean's Eleven" and "Ocean's Twelve" rounds out the top five couples with $847 million. Sam Worthington's romance with Zoe Saldana in the world's biggest-grossing film of all time, "Avatar", was ineligible for the list because the duo has only starred in one film together.

Gary blogged yesterday's launch of new search engine Accoona, and has followed up with a closer look in today's SearchDay article, Accoona Launches, But Isn't Ready for Prime Time. After testing the search engine with a few softball queries, Gary came away less than impressed but hopeful the search engine will improve over time.
Accoona is seeking to differentiate itself from Yahoo, Google and other leaders by touting its "revolutionary" artificial intelligence technology. "Accoona's artificial intelligence technology will elevate search engine performance to a new unprecedented level, allowing the most relevant search available today," said Accoona CEO Eckhard Pfeiffer at yesterday's launch.
The AI spin is interesting, but the implication that Google, Yahoo and others don't employ artificial intelligence techniques is misleading. They do — there's a lot of AI in all major search engines. Also worthy of note: Google's director of search quality, Peter Norvig, is the co-author of a book regarded by many as the "Bible of Artificial Intelligence." I'm willing to bet that at least a few engineers at the Googleplex have read Peter's book, and maybe have even woven some of its lessons into the search engine's DNA.

Now for something completely different -- J&R has put up the pre-order page for the Archos 32, a 3.2-inch 8GB personal media player. Don't hit the back button on your browser just yet, because this little device is big on the spec sheet:
Shazam! Now pack all this into a 2.5-ounce device with a $147.00 price tag and you've just piqued my interest. I've searched high and low for a leaked pic to no avail, and no word on just when we'll be seeing this one, but you can sign up to be notified at the pre-order page. [J&R via NetbooksReview] Thanks Jazz!
Always had a special place in our hearts for the HTC Hero, even if it is a little long in the tooth. But dress it up in black, and we'd be more than happy to put this guy in our bag as a backup device. It's available now from Cellular South for $79.99 after contract and rebate. [Cellular South] Thanks, @asmith001!
When we saw that blurry picture of the Motorola Sage last week we thought ... well, we're not quite sure what we thought. We've been hoping that the difference between high-end Motorola smartphone and low-end Motorola smartphone might at least creep toward the middle. But what we see here sure looks like it's from the same family as the Backflip. Engadget's tipster says the is-Blur/isn't-Blur/PhilBlur skin is on board, and we're trying not to poke fun at that trackpad. Really, we are. You, however, can have at it in the comments. [Engadget]
Don't look now, but it seems like Verizon is about to get real serious about competing with the iPad. Word comes from the Financial Times that Big Red and Motorola, who have been best buds as of late, are planning on launching a 10-inch tablet device that would allow subscribers to Verizon's FiOS TV service to watch live TV shows on it. Just let that sink in for a moment.
The device could launch as soon as "this autumn," but no specific date or pricing were given. It does seem that the tablet will come with full Flash compatibility, which would almost guarantee the device would launch with Android 2.2 ("Froyo"). In addition, the tablet could come with Verizon's hotspot feature, allowing nearby WiFi devices to connect to the internet as well. If they weren't before, Moto and Verizon are sure playing for keeps now. [FinancialTimes] Thanks to SharonW for the tip!
Ever navigate away from a site and have trouble duplicating the search you used to find it? Google has come to the rescue again with a handy "History" link on the Google mobile site. You can find old searches, remove items from your history, and even star search items if you're so inclined. The history includes all searches made while signed in with your Google account, not just those from your phone, and mobile searches are designated by a little phone icon.
Search history should be enabled by default; if not, you can select "Settings," then hit "Save Searches" under "Search History" and save your settings. It's not clear whether search history will be made similarly accessible from the desktop site (although you can simply navigate to google.com/history). There may be some kinks to work out, as evidenced by the following screenshot, so share your experience in the comments! [Google Mobile Blog]
After being on backorder since it launched, it looks like the the supply issues for the Droid Incredible may be under control. Verizon's website is now listing that new orders will be shipped by 8/7 -- that's this weekend -- which is a huge improvement over the multiple weeks DInc orders had been delayed at the end of June.
Were I to guess, I would say that HTC adding SLCD screens to the production, and the launch of the Droid X contributed to higher supply and lower demand for the DInc, so that the two figures are nearly equal now. So, in case you were wondering, the Droid Incredible is far from dead.
Now that the Droid X has the dubious honor of bring on a significant backorder (as seen above) and the DI looks to be getting Froyo very soon (plus, Evo users already got theirs), anyone taking a closer look at the DInc? Sound off in the comments. [Verizon Wireless]
File this under rumors for the moment, but it looks like the fabled Project Emerald from T-Mobile could very well be the HTC Glacier, and on paper it's fast as hell. The folks at AlienBabelTech have done some digging and found some rather interesting dirt:
Is this proof positive that it's Project Emerald? Nope. But it stands to reason, unless T-Mobile has two huge surprises to spring on us later this year. Be sure to check out the source link, there's a screenshot montage of all the clues, as well as a long geeky feature list of the supposed HTC Glacier's GPU details. [AlienBabelTech]
Those of you rocking a T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide, know this: A maintenance update -- as in NOT Android 2.2 -- is headed your way starting Aug. 4. Here's what you have to look forward to, from T-Mobile's mouths to our eyes:
T-Mobile says the update will be complete by Aug. 19, and it won't be able to push it out after that. So get it while you can. [T-Mobile forums] Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
Android's official Facebook app just got a pretty major upgrade in Version 1.3.0. You'll immediate notice the difference in the user interface, with a photo reel at the bottom that lets you quickly flip through your friends' recent photos and videos. And see that notifications bar at the bottom? Drag it up for the list of recent notifications. There's also one-tap access to post a status update or search for friends, video playback withing the app using H.264 encoding, support for Facebook events (review, see details, RSVP) within the app, and respond to friend requests.
We can't help but wonder how much of a hand Erick Tseng had in this, given that the former senior Android product manager left Android for Facebook just a few short months ago. Regardless, we're mostly liking what we're seeing. Check out some more screen shots after the break, and let us know what you think in the comments.
So you want to update your Motorola Droid to Android 2.2, do ya? Go ahead. We're all for it. For everybody else who's content to wait until the over-the-air update hits, we'll show you what you're missing.
But first, a couple of caveats: As of this writing, it looks like copy-protected apps aren't showing in the Android Market. They should clear itself up at some point. That also means no Adobe Flash, unless you sideload it, which is fine.
Then there's the whole tethering thing. Verizon earlier this week said Wifi tether is a no-go, as is USB tethering. But, as you'll see in the video, USB tether is there on the phone (though admittedly we haven't gotten a chance to use it yet).
Anyhoo, give the video a gander, and be sure to talk it up in the forums when you're done.
Froyo has shown it's pretty face for Motorola Droid users, and like all the other OTA's the Android community has jumped on it and worked up a method to force the update without waiting for Big Red to send it your way. It's pretty easy, doesn't require root and is the official upgrade just as if you had been waiting for it to push to your device.
If you need the beginners course, hit the source links for a pretty darn nice tutorial. Now quit stalling, and get your Froyo on! [Android Forums via Android Central forums ]
Look close at the bottom of the blurry shot from Verizon's system above, and you'll see the entry for the (what everybody and their mother assumes to be) Aug. 12 is marked for "Commercial launch of Droid 2". We'll pause a moment and let you catch your breath. Back with us? Good. It looks like all the speculations and rumors may be true this time, and we all will be able to get our grubby paws on a shiny Droid 2 in 9 short days.
To add to the Droid 2 fever, we also have some nice pics from a member at Howard Forums showing the Droid 2 beside its predecessor, the OG Droid, and a close up of the keyboard in all it's extended glory. Check them out after the break, then we can all wait impatiently and figure out how we can pass the next week or so in the Droid 2 forums. [Howard Forums via Intomobile, and thanks to The Geek at donthatethegeek.com for the release info!]
Now that we've got a few hours of Froyo on the Evo 4G under our belts, let's get down to brass tacks. How's the update fairing for you? Faster? Slower? Borked? Those answers, and more, are all in our forums:
And that's just the tip of the Froyo iceberg. Be sure to check out all the threads in our Evo 4G forums.
We've known for a while that the Kyocera Zio would be coming to Cricket Communications, and now it's official. Pricing and actual availability weren't announced (other than "this fall"), and we can only hope that it's seen an update from the Android 1.6 that was on it when we had our hands on in March, which you can watch again again after the break, if you're so inclined. Also mentioned: a "low-cost Android phone from Huawei," so you have that to look forward to. [Buzinesswire]

Epilepsy is a chronic condition that may affect individuals for years. The long-term use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in patients who have seizures has been associated with alterations in bone mineral density (BMD). In comparison with the general population, patients with epilepsy have a six times greater risk of fracture, and the reduction in their bone density can be detected as early as 1–5 years after commencing treatment. The fracture risk of the epileptic population is approximately twice that of the general population, independent of seizure-related falls, whereas 35% of the fractures may be related to seizures (Petty et al., 2007). It is important to note that the fractures are associated with increased rates of morbidity and mortality (Germaine-Smith et al., 2011).
Previous studies on the bone health of patients with epilepsy have reported a significant variability in the prevalence of low BMD, ranging from 26% to 75% depending on ethnicity and/or country of origin; this may be due to genetic variability (Farhat et al., 2002; Pack et al., 2003; Lado et al., 2008; Phabphal et al., 2009). Moreover, the epileptic treatment is characterized by unpredictable efficacy and optimal dose response, and especially adverse drug reactions in individual patients. Treatment with phenytoin (PHT) was reported to be affected by genetic variability in drug metabolism >25 years ago (Löscher et al., 2009). For instance, reduced metabolism of PHT in people with certain cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 alleles was reported by Mamiya et al. (1998), and HLA-B*1502 was found to be associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrosis induced by PHT (Hung et al., 2010). The principle of pharmacogenetics in the field of epilepsy is to test how the patient's genotype might affect variation in response to AEDs among individuals—especially regarding the most important adverse reactions.
Vitamin D plays a central role in bone biology and mineral homeostasis. Vitamin D, by interacting with its receptors, plays an important role in calcium homeostasis by regulating bone cell growth and differentiation, intestinal calcium absorption, and parathyroid secretion. According to a report by Morrison et al. (1992), BsmI polymorphism has been associated with bone turnover, and bone density or fracture. This finding was confirmed by meta-analysis (Cooper & Umbach, 1996). Nevertheless, the studies of BsmI polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in patients with epilepsy who are taking PHT are limited. Only two studies have focused on BsmI polymorphism in patients with epilepsy (Tsukahara et al., 2002; Lambrinoudaki et al., 2011). However, the evidence pertaining to this issue is limited by confounding factors such as including several AEDs that affect BMD differently. Moreover, all of these studies consisted of a single measurement of BMD in the lumbar spine and small sample sizes.
This study was conducted with two objectives, affording us the opportunity to, first, determine the prevalence of low BMD in patients with a wild-type VDR gene and BsmI polymorphism and second, to evaluate the association between BsmI polymorphism and BMD, parathyroid hormone activity, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in 94 young among ambulatory adults with epilepsy who were taking PHT.

Two weeks ago, I realized it was the sixth anniversary of the Iraq War, and I wanted to do something to mark that - so I whipped up a mini-campaign on Twitter, on my personal charity-themed website, Charitini, and here on HuffPo.
Last week, I thought - why not try it again? Every Wednesday, an impromptu Internet tradition is enacted on blogs and websites across cyberspace: Gratuitous Picture Of Yourself Wednesday. It's lots of goofy fun and I've happily indulged - so I thought, why not see if I could apply it toward doing some good? Enter GPICT, the Internet's newest meme.
I sent out the call in the name of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, the beneficiary of my friend Anthony's Charitini Birthday, and asked people to post/Twitter/reblog the idea - with their own favorite GPICT charity. It came back in spades: Six great friends posted about six great charities:
* Operation Gratitude - Care Packages for Soldiers
* The Kucetekela Foundation - Education for Zambia's Youth
* Music Maker Relief Foundation
* Circle of Women - Building a Girls' School in Afghanistan
* Heifer International - Donating Sustainable Resources
* The Great American Clean-Up - Volunteering To Help Clean Up A City
...and that's how a ball gets rolling.
So this week, I've posted again - this time about Grateful Nation, a Montana-based charity that provides funds for the eduction of children of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I heard about it earlier this week on NBC Nightly News (see here) and it was pretty heartbreaking, but pretty inspiring. So this week, that's my pic - or PICT; that is to say, GPICT.
How can you get involved, you ask? Why, Gratuitously start your own Public Interest Campaign, of course! Pick your own favorite charity, or charitable cause, or volunteer opportunity, or whatever you think is in the Public Interest, and let the world know via your blog, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, GMail or AIM chat status, or in the comments section of this very post. (Seriously! GPICT is like a boomerang, the love comes back!) Or, if you want to support Grateful Nation (and who wouldn't really - it's a wonderful idea) feel free to retweet this on Twitter (here's a bitty url: http://bit.ly/QwlnI) and add the #GPICT hashtag. And next Thursday, let's all do it all over again. Every little bit counts.
...and that's how a ball gets rolling.

While the world will remember Hillary and Chelsea Clinton's appearance Thursday afternoon at a girls club in New York City for the proclamation there that the royal family of American politics is expecting a child, for Nova Bajamonti, the memory will be much more personal for a very different announcement.
It must never be easy to admit publicly that you've been skirting the law for years, living illegally in a country you consider home. And it must be even harder when the people to whom you're admitting that include someone who might one day be president.
But it was here that Bajamonti chose to share her story, hoping it would reach as many women as possible, and help some who haven't been as fortunate as she has.
"For the first time publicly," the 19-year-old said, standing just feet from the Clintons as they answered questions from the girls in the audience, "I want to say that I am an undocumented immigrant." As she continued, she got more emotional, fighting back tears and barely able to speak. How can I, she asked, break this "glass ceiling "¦ that I can't even control?"
Clinton's response was everything Bajamonti, who was born in Croatia and moved the United States when she was just five, had hoped for. The former secretary of State praised Bajamonti for sharing her story, calling the young woman "incredibly brave."
Clinton reiterated her support for comprehensive immigration reform, including a path to citizenship, and criticized the House of Representatives for failing to pass a bill. "I think that's a big missed opportunity for our country," Clinton said, "because part of the reason we're going to do really well in the 21st century is because we are a nation of immigrants. We keep attracting people like you and your family."
For her part, Chelsea thanked Bajamonti deeply for speaking out, and for helping people who often feel "invisible" show their faces.
After the event, Bajamonti told National Journal that she had been torn up inside all week about whether to make the announcement at the upcoming event. Ultimately, she decided she had to. "I've kept this hidden for so many years. How much of a feminist am I being in respect to myself if I'm not getting my story out there?" she said.
Most people around her, including many in the room, didn't know about her immigration status until she spoke up, Bajamonti said. But the words from Clinton, whom Bajamonti said she has long admired, made her feel like she can finally share her story.
"I felt like I was dreaming. It meant the world to me," she added.

Instead of his usual stump speech, Bernie Sanders tonight threw his support behind Hillary Clinton, providing a clear contrast between Clinton and GOP nominee Donald Trump on the many issues he used to discuss in his campaign stump speeches. Sanders spoke glowingly about the presumptive Democratic nominee, lauding her work as first lady and as a strong advocate for women and the poor. "We need leadership in this country which will improve the lives of working families, the children, the elderly, the sick and the poor," he said. "Hillary Clinton will make a great president, and I am proud to stand with her tonight."
In a stark contrast from Michelle Obama's uplifting speech, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren spoke about the rigged system plaguing Americans before launching into a full-throated rebuke of GOP nominee Donald Trump. Trump is "a man who has never sacrificed anything for anyone," she claimed, before saying he "must never be president of the United States." She called him divisive and selfish, and said the American people won't accept his "hate-filled America." In addition to Trump, Warren went after the Republican Party as a whole. "To Republicans in Congress who said no, this November the American people are coming for you," she said.
"In this election, and every election, it's about who will have the power to shape our children for the next four or eight years of their lives," Michelle Obama said. "There is only one person who I trust with that responsibility … and that is our friend Hillary Clinton." In a personal and emotional speech, Michelle Obama spoke about the effect that angry oppositional rhetoric had on her children and how she chose to raise them. "When they go low, we go high," Obama said she told her children about dealing with bullies. Obama stayed mostly positive, but still offered a firm rebuke of Donald Trump, despite never once uttering his name. "The issues a president faces cannot be boiled down to 140 characters," she said.
Many Bernie Sanders delegates have spent much of the first day of the Democratic National Convention resisting unity, booing at mentions of Hillary Clinton and often chanting "Bernie! Bernie!" Well, one of the most outspoken Bernie Sanders supporters just told them to take a seat. "To the Bernie-or-bust people: You're being ridiculous," said comedian Sarah Silverman in a brief appearance at the Convention, minutes after saying that she would proudly support Hillary Clinton for president.
The Democratic National Committee issued a formal apology to Bernie Sanders today, after leaked emails showed staffers trying to sabotage his presidential bid. "On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and sincere apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters, and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email," DNC officials said in the statement. "These comments do not reflect the values of the DNC or our steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process. The DNC does not—and will not—tolerate disrespectful language exhibited toward our candidates."

Great location! Within walking distance to cool sites. Beautiful views from you apartment. Small yet very spacious and comfortable. We could've use a few more things in the kitchen
The property did not appear to be taken care of. The elevators had Out Of Order signs on them and it looked like they'd been there quite some time. The apartment had a strange odor. The carpet was dirty. You could see where the painters painted all over the wood trim when painting the walls. Only one of the bedrooms had an air conditioner unit and it ran constantly. The balcony was not usable as there was some kind of hot air blowing up through a vent. We thought it might have been from the exhaust fan from the restaurant below. On the positive side, it was located near the river walk.
This apartment is a wonderful place to stay while exploring Portland! The location puts you close to everything in downtown Portland, either by walking or by easily-accessible public transit. The unit is well-furnished and well-supplied - it's a lovely space in a nice, safe complex. Plenty of parking is available. I recommend Upstream Coffee, which only takes a couple of minutes to walk to. I'd definitely book this place again!
The apartment Is located within walking distance of the downtown area and close to streetcar lines that take you to the Pearl district and further. The block is modern and the apartment is clean and fully furnished in a fairly bland way. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a full kitchen, which we hardly used. The wifi was down for the whole weekend, which was annoying. The parking is tricky so follow the instructions carefully. There are coffee shops and restaurants close by and the river walk is also very close.
We loved the location of this condo. Beds were comfy and kitchen well stocked. Nice restaurants and shops along the river and it's a short walk to the Portland Saturday Market. The check-in process was a little tricky, but we got if figured out. Would definitely stay again.
Great place and location! I was there for a girl's weekend getaway and area was beautiful, quiet and heart of the city was in walking distance. Definitely recommend this place for a long weekend getaway.
Had great time. Everyone was pleased with townhouse. Well stocked and clean. Would do again. Customer service was great! Able to fit Kia minivan in garage. Was tight but worked.

A deal has been brokered between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton that will allow Clinton's name to be placed in nomination at next week's Democratic nominating convention, sources close to the Clinton camp told ABC News.
Well, isn't that special. They're going to "allow" Clinton's name to be placed in nomination. Last time I checked she had about half the popular vote, and neither candidate had enough pledged delegates (which aren't even pledged anyway) to lock up the nomination.
The article says this will happen on Wednesday and that there will be a roll call vote. Should be interesting. Either way it's historic. I plan to be there to witness it. I will try to keep my opinions in check and report it straight up from the standpoint of the Tennessee delegation, their vote, and their reactions.
UPDATE: Politico.com: Joint statement (excerpt)
"I am convinced that honoring Senator Clinton's historic campaign in this way will help us celebrate this defining moment in our history and bring the party together in a strong united fashion," said Senator Barack Obama.
Senator Obama's campaign encouraged Senator Clinton's name to be placed in nomination as a show of unity and in recognition of the historic race she ran and the fact that she was the first woman to compete in all of our nation's primary contests.
In other words, this is a formality to reinforce the legitimacy of Obama's nomination and the process. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (By way of ACK)
Just a little bone to pick
No thang but a chicken wang just a LITTLE bone to pick.
Nowhere in the joint statement by Obama & Clinton do I see the word "allow".That's ABC's word.To be fair R has studied the rules & knows that ABC saying "allow' is just wrong.
To be honest a delegate is free to cast a recorded vote for anybody they want no matter if that individual has placed into nomination or not.
In the last 40 years only two shut outs have been pitched..Clinton in '96 & Gore in '00.
Every other convention somebody got some votes.
Some of the somebodies that got votes
I hear you Bill. My only
I hear you Bill. My only complaint is how the Obama/DNC/Netroots tag team entitlement program is being run. It would have been better for everyone if there had been a decisive win by somebody during the primary process. Since that didn't happen, it would have been nice to let the process play out fair and square. Which is where we seem to be headed now, at least symbolically.
entitlement program? not
entitlement program? not sure what that means. whatever.
I think the joint statement is strong, and important symbolically.
I do hope that however the show goes in Denver, the subject is focused like a laser on John Sidney McCain, the first candidate for president from the great state of Panama.
The first question to be ask of the Tn delegates..how many of you think Clinton can somehow win this nomination?
The second question..how many of you think Clinton got the shaft & are mad as hell?
The third question..how many of you think Obama is a loser & gonna take their marbles & go home?
Delegates answer to these questions may well change from Monday to Thursday.
R you may view my opinion as entitlement but I think Obama has the delegates & will win the nomination.
If I'm wrong you are about ready to be on the floor of the goddamndest Democratic Convention ever!!!!!!!
No, I don't think you're
No, I don't think you're wrong Bill. And I wouldn't be stupid enough to ask those questions to which the answer is pretty obvious. (Although the second one would be interesting.)
But I agree that if Obama doesn't have the delegates, as we all assume he does, it will certainly be interesting.
I'm guessing he wouldn't have made such a deal, though, if he wasn't pretty sure about it. Lawyers don't generally ask questions they don't already know the answer to.

A California farming interest league has filed a complaint in Fresno County Court alleging that Assembly Bill 1513, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last year, is unconstitutionally vague, according to Court House News.
The law is essentially an updated version of a pay scheme that California has had in place since the turn of the century. But now its critics have argued that the latest updates are an opening for harm to farmers and even to workers.

Pre-monsoon showers continue to lash Himachal Pradesh
Shimla: Pre-monsoon showers continued to lash several parts of Himachal Pradesh for the sixth consecutive day today, causing a sharp fall in minimum temperatures at some places.
Several areas in mid and lower hills received moderate to heavy pre-monsoon rains, Director of the local MeT office Manmohan Singh said.
However, the arrival of monsoon by the due date (June 26) seemed unlikely, he said. Pre-monsoon rains would continue in the region, but heavy rains are likely on June 25 and 26, he added.
Sunnibhajji area of Shimla received heavy showers where 50 mm rain was recorded in the past 24 hours. Una and Baldwara received 32 mm of rain, followed by Gohar 31 mm, Joginder Nagar 30 mm, Nagrota Suriyan 29 mm, Mashobra 28 mm, Bangana 24 mm, Guler 22 mm, Sujanpur Tira 21 mm and Renuka 20 mm.
State capital Shimla was lashed by a thunderstorm last night and the town recorded 17 mm of rains. The intermittent showers caused sharp fall in minimum temperature and Shimla and the nearby resort of Mashobra today recorded a low of 13.6 degrees and 10.2 degrees, respectively, a drop of four to five degrees.
The minimum temperature dropped from 25.8 degrees to 20 degrees at Una today, but it remained hottest during the day with the maximum temperature of 42.8 degrees.
The day temperatures remained steady in rest of the state today. Nahan recorded a high of 35.3 degrees, followed by Sundernagar 35 degrees, Bhunter 34.6 degrees, Solan 33.7 degrees, Dharamshala 31.8 degrees, Shimla 28.6 degrees, Kalpa 25.8 degrees and Manali 23.6 degrees.

O.C. Surfer of the Year awards
The Orange County Register is honored each year to award five local surfers who have helped elevate the sport and culture through their accomplishments.
A panel of experts picked this year's winners – no easy task with the number of standout surfers who claim Orange County as home. The five categories are standout surfer of the year, female standout surfer of the year, rising star of the year, ambassador of the year, and freesurfer of the year.
The standout surfer of the year was picked from a list of surfers considered among the best in the world who travel to the globe's best waves to compete in contests, backed by big brands and representing O.C.
The rising star of the year was picked from a group of young surfers who have accomplished big things in the competitive circuit and have big futures ahead of them.
The freesurfer of the year – a category presented by Ghetto Juice Magazine – came from a list of Orange County surfers who push limits outside the competitive circuit, who exhibit innovative style and surf skills and who do it for the passion of the sport.
Our last category, ambassador of the year, is someone who has helped advance the culture of surfing by giving back, inspiring surfers or helping to grow the sport.
Please join us in honoring the following surfers during the U.S. Open of Surfing at the Surfers' Hall of Fame at 10 a.m. July 26 in front of Huntington Surf and Sport on the corner of Main and Pacific Coast Highway. Here are the recipients of the 2013 O.C. Surfer of the Year awards:
