Battling cancer can wear you down and cause extreme fatigue—fatigue that may not end after cancer treatment.
North Kansas City Hospital started the first program in Kansas City to help individuals cope with fatigue both during and after treatment. Our unique Cancer Rehabilitation and Fatigue Management Program provides patients with an individualized plan aimed at reducing fatigue and restoring quality of life. The program includes:
In this video, Bobby Eden fulfills a dream to skydive. At one point during his battle with cancer, he was confined to a wheelchair, too weak to walk. After working with Mary in the Cancer Rehab and Fatigue Management program, he's able to check this one off the bucket list.
Fatigue is an issue related to cancer care but can also be a problem for patients who have fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome to name a few. The professionals involved with our Fatigue Management program can help with your physical and mental health, at a time when you need it most. Each patient receives individual treatment in a private gym setting that includes activities that are paced for success.
A physician's referral is required to participate in the program. Costs may be reimbursed by Medicare or private insurance.

Bulletin: Ratings On Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Unaffected By Acquisition Of Aircraft Leasing Business From RBS Jan 12
- January 2012
- Standard & Poors
TOKYO (Standard & Poor's) Jan. 19, 2012--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said today that its ratings on Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. (SMFG; A/Negative/A-1) are unaffected by SMFG's acquisition of an aircraft leasing business from The Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS; A-/Stable/A-2). The ratings on SMFG's operating bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. (SMBC; A+/Negative/A-1), are also unaffected by the acquisition. SMFG has announced that it will acquire RBS's aircraft leasing business with total assets of approximately ¥550 billion. Although we expect the investment to have a negative impact on SMFG's capital ratio due to an increase in risk assets and goodwill, we believe the impact will be limited. In addition, we expect the risk-adjusted capital (RAC) ratio to...

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – University of Pikeville Men's Basketball Coach Kelly Wells has added yet another impact player to his 2012 recruiting class.
Brandon Greene, a 6-6 forward from Baltimore, Md., has inked with the Bears and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining. Greene, who played two seasons of competition at Cecil (Md.) College, was originally a Texas Southern University signee.
While at Cecil, Greene posted averages of 12.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per contest while shooting 50 percent from the field. Greene helped lead the 2010-2011 Seahawks to a 26-5 record and a No. 6 NJCAA Div. 2 national ranking.
"Brandon brings a lot of toughness to the court," said Wells. "He really runs the floor well, and fights for every rebound and loose ball. Brandon's a team-first player who is always willing to do whatever it takes to help us get a win. Coming from Cecil, he is used to winning and we are excited for him to bring that winning attitude to UPIKE."
As a prep, Greene attended Towson Catholic High School in Baltimore, Md. As a senior, Greene averaged 13 points, 11 rebounds, and three blocks per game and was selected as a member of the Baltimore Sun First-Team All-Metro team. He helped lead Towson Catholic to their second straight MIAA A Conference championship.

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 1993 Vintage)
A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, this wine is made by winemaker/consultant Heidi Barrett. Before his death, Gustav Dalla Valle also provided considerable input to this vintage. Availability is next to impossible, as there were only 135 cases of the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon made.
97 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate:
"The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable wine, not dissimilar from the 1992. The 1993 reveals an opaque purple color, as well as a rich, jammy, pure nose of blackcurrant/cassis fruit intertwined with scents of minerals and high quality, spicy oak. The wine offers a cascade of lavishly rich, opulently textured, super-extracted fruit that is beautifully buttressed by oak and sweet tannin. Remarkably long, pure, and rich, this is a compelling Cabernet Sauvignon with no hard edges. Perfectly balanced, marvelously concentrated, and exciting, look for this wine to drink well young, but keep for 25 years." (Dec. 1996)
91 Points, Wine Spectator:
"Dark, ripe, intense and concentrated, with lots of currant, earth, leather and anise flavors. Comes across as a rustic, concentrated style with a chewy core of flavors. Finishes with a dry tannic edge and gritty tannins. Not as plush as the 1992, but still packs a wallop." (12/31/1996)

The catalog-like interior at ABC Cocina.
I arrived in New York City at the turn of the century, and I've been writing professionally—or at least for pay—ever since. In the decade-plus that I've been fortunate enough to make a living as a writer, I've seen scores of publications fold up like origami cranes and fly away. Some vanish in the night (the dad model). Others peter out (the old-soldier model). Weeklies go quarterly; dailies go away.
In the gloaming, the siren of commerce often calls, and I've watched colleagues flee from journalism to put their skills to use for brands, gradually at

I think the composer of the dances for the Fux opera was rather Nicola Matteis the younger (cf the German wikipedia page) who was the son of the older one and worked in Vienna when Fux was there, too.

Blogs have been watching Sims's Web site closely, and on Monday Spears's former assistant updated it to include her first song – a cover of "On My Own," from the stage musical Les Misérables.
And, the newly launched singer tells PEOPLE, she already has a staunch supporter in Spears.
Shrugging off rumors that Britney resented her decision to pursue her lifelong dream, Sims, 26, says: "She heard my songs on the laptop and was like, 'I love this song! This is you singing?' She has always been supportive."
As for Spears's parenting skills, which have come under fire recently, Sims tells PEOPLE in its new issue, "She's a wonderful mom and she is so hands-on. ... Britney loves those babies to death. And they adore her."
When it comes to her former employer, Sims adds, "I love her, she's beautiful inside and out. We're still great friends."
And when it comes to her music, the Southerner says she's after a "soulful" sound, and the single on her Web site is "more of a filler song until I get my new stuff recorded. Honestly, we put that one up there because all the other ones I had put down in the past had a little more of a country vibe, and I do not want to go there at all."
Further distinguishing herself from her famous friend, Sims also says, "I don't dance, I'm not pop. I have a more bluesy voice, more Norah Jones-ish. I don't want to appeal to just my age group and younger."
Having moved to Los Angeles immediately after college with a music career in mind, Sims made ends meet by working with noted wedding planner Mindy Weiss and, more recently, for Spears.
"I was just doing that for a little while, and we had a great time together," Sims says of working with Britney.
Now, however, Sims is making music with the likes of such in-demand producers as Evan Bogart and J.R. Rotem.
"I hope everything falls into place, and maybe by January I will have a lot of things under my belt and get to release something," Sims says. "I just want to do what I love. [Music] is my passion."

Buoyed by better-than-expected earnings and some cautious signs of optimism, tech stocks have far outpaced the broader stock market in the first half of the year, hinting that the high-tech sector will help lead the nation out of the Great Recession.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index is up 17 percent since Jan. 1, and 153 Silicon Valley tech companies have scored double-digit gains in their share prices.
Technology stocks "have been showing leadership since November," said Mary Ann Bartels, head of U.S. technical analysis for Banc America-Merrill Lynch. The story of the markets as the second quarter of 2009 ends today "is not who lagged but who led," she said.
The relatively strong performance comes after many tech companies beat Wall Street expectations about profits and then gained additional momentum from signs of an improving economy.
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones industrial average, which covers a broad range of sectors, is down 2.8 percent for the year, and the Standard & Poor's 500, which reflects the broader stock market, is up a relatively slight 2.7 percent. These two indexes have been held down by lingering and severe problems in the financial and automotive sectors, the collapse of home construction and declines in the commercial building industry, among other problems.
The stocks of tech companies have been one of the few bright spots this year. Cypress Semiconductor shares have more than doubled; Apple's shares have gained nearly two-thirds in value; Internet giants Google and Yahoo have scored gains of 38 percent and 30 percent, respectively, and business software maker Oracle is up 21 percent.
So far in 2009, 174 valley stocks are up and 69 are down, with one unchanged. The average increase is almost 38 percent, led by smart-phone maker Palm with a remarkable 415 percent gain.
While all the indexes have recovered from this year's March 9 market bottom, only the tech-dominated Nasdaq has broken away from the waffling performance of the overall economy.
Sandeep Aggarwal, who covers Internet companies for Collins Stewart in San Francisco, said his sector gained momentum after quarterly reports in March turned out to be better than expected. "That is why the Internet sector is up 25 percent now," he said.
And while most companies are still struggling with the recession, credit crunch and vanishing consumer, "the tech sector is not as underperforming as other parts of the economy," Aggarwal said.
The semiconductor industry, which had been flattened by the credit crunch, has also been making headway this year. The share prices of several valley chip companies are up for the year — Intel, the giant in the industry, nearly 12 percent, AMD 72 percent and Nvidia 43 percent.
"There's a pulse," said Alex Guana, an analyst with JMP Securities in San Francisco. "I get the sense that things are not all doom and gloom. There's some real product cycles getting under way."
Smart-phone companies like Apple and Research In Motion, which makes the BlackBerry, are introducing new models, increasing the demand for the chips that drive them, he noted. Companies that make servers are also increasing orders.
There have also been words of cautious optimism from tech executives. Cisco CEO John Chambers said last month that business was steadying around the world.
"No one knows how long this will last, " he cautioned, while reporting quarterly results that were better than analysts had expected. Chambers added that sales may need to level out for a longer period "before an upturn can occur."
Oracle's co-president Charles Phillips said during an earnings call that he'd met with chief information officers at several companies recently, and "most of them sounded like they wanted to start spending. We'll see what they do."
Software industry analyst Brendan Barnicle at Pacific Crest Securities said in an interview that he thought those remarks were notable. "To hear them talk about continuing to see a growing pipeline, and companies maybe willing to spend in the back half of the year, those are really encouraging data points."
But the Dow and S&P, reflecting the larger economy, remain "rangebound," or trading in a narrow band with no sharp movements up or down, according to Bartels of Banc America-Merrill Lynch. "They are trendless right now, and that's what's so frustrating. You want a trend to emerge."

Super Bowl XLIV roundup
Super Bowl XLIV
Saints draw inspiration from their rugged city
Monday, February 8, 2010 at 12:04 a.m.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. A city that was abandoned is partying again.
"Mardi Gras may never end," Drew Brees said as confetti spilled around him. "The celebration is not going to end."
The man too hurt in 2006 for the San Diego Chargers to keep or for anyone but a desperate franchise to take a chance on, gave his adopted hometown a championship in its team's first trip to the Super Bowl.
"I look back on all of that, and there is adversity that you face along the way — whether it is injuries, whether it be maybe getting shunned by another team," said Brees, named the game's MVP after completing 32-of-39 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. "… There was so much we had to go through and how much adversity we faced along the way. Then again, how many people believed in us and gave us the strength to do what we did tonight."From today's U-T:

5 things you need to know about: the Super Bowl
Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 12:04 a.m.
The Super Bowl is tomorrow, and while our beloved Bolts aren't in the big game, we can't just ignore the whole thing now, can we? Beyond the X's and O's, here are some other things to watch for:
Odds. The Colts are favored by anywhere from 4 1/2 to 6 points. The wide range in point spreads means Las Vegas isn't quite sure how this Super Bowl will go down, says Christopher Costigan, founder of gambling911.com, which tracks the industry. Of course, oddsmakers are hardly infallible. At the start of the season, Costigan says, the Colts had 10-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl, and the Saints' odds were at 18-to-1. Who were the favorites back then? The Patriots at 3-to-1. Bwahahahaha! On a more somber note, the Chargers had 8-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. Sniff.
Ads. The ads are supposed to be half of the fun, but plenty of perennial Super Bowl advertisers such as Pepsi are taking a powder this year. Sure, there will be beer commercials, but there will be some frothy controversy, too. Opinions are all over the map about an anti-abortion ad starring Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mom.
Halftime. The NFL apparently has decreed that no one born after the Paleolithic era can perform in the halftime show. Tony Bennett must have been booked, so instead we'll get a scorching performance by The Who. Wonder if they'll smash their guitars? Oooh, edgy!
Creepy. Despite the band's advanced age, their appearance is not without scandal. Guitarist Pete Townshend was listed as a registered sex offender in the United Kingdom for five years after his arrest in a 2003 child pornography sting. In case you're wondering, he said he was just doing research for a book.
Stadium. What's in a name? Apparently not much. The site of Super Bowl 2010 has had seven different names since 1987, and three of those have been in the last year. In January, Sun Life Financial bought the naming rights. Before that, it was Dolphin Stadium for a whole two weeks. Before that, it was Land Shark Stadium for eight months in honor of Jimmy Buffett's beer. Hey, maybe he's available for next year's halftime show.

After that, he stayed away from Drama until he was about twenty-five, when he decided that amateur drama, which he now describes as "one of the most powerful institutions in Ireland," looked like "a cool thing to do at night instead of being in the pub." Nobody actually told me," he says "I just stumbled into it, I realized that it's a great way to spend your time. I couldn't wait for work to finish, to get to the theater, cause there were great people there. And leading up to a play, the tension of it. I remember we all went to Athlone to take part in the All Ireland Drama Festival, we all went on one minibus. I had never experienced anything like that."
One of the inspirations behind "Imagine Ireland" stems from Byrne's early years in the Dublin theater scene: his time with the experimental, modestly government funded Project Arts Centre. "In 1979 in Dublin you had the two establishment theaters, The Gate and The Abbey, and anyone who didn't fit in there went to The Project." The list of misfits who got their start at The Project is impressive, to say the least: Jim Sheridan, Liam Neeson, Neil Jordan, Ciaran Hinds, Nigel Rolfe, Stephen Rea, and many more. "It was great," he continues, "nothing was off the table. John Stevenson, who was the administrator at the time, said "Let's take all this stuff that we do and bring it to England.' And that was the first time that British audiences became aware of this Irish art. Imagine Ireland is a version of that."
When an artist from one country brings his or her work to another, a palpable exchange takes place: both artist and audience are exposed to something new. In the case of the four-hundred-plus artists coming to the U.S. this year with Imagine Ireland, the potential for exchange goes both ways. On one hand, Irish artists stand to gain something from performing or exhibiting for audiences here. "If you're an artist and you want to grow and expand and understand new things, then coming here will expose you to different viewpoints and opinions and experiences. It won't necessarily make you any better, but it will do that," says Byrne.
On the other hand, American audiences are getting a taste of more contemporary Irish art; a more comprehensive understanding of Irish culture today. "When we talk about artists here, we're not just talking about writers, artists, musicians, theater people," he explains, "we're talking about performance artists, the full range. There's Irish classical dancing; there's Irish mime; there are young artists who are Irish but who draw their inspiration from all kinds of places." After a pause he continues, "I would say that the perception here is a very dated and very limited one. People know certain names, and some of those names are not even known outside a particular circle. Would everybody know U2? Yes. Would everybody know Seamus Heaney? Debatable."
In this sense, in addition to recognizing the strong cultural bonds between Ireland and America, the aim also seems to be to refresh those bonds, to update them. To expose Irish Americans and Americans who already appreciate Joyce and Synge and Yeats, who have seen The Quiet Man, who know Riverdance and The Chieftains, to a new generation of Irish artists. The Cultural Ambassador confirms this: "That's one of the things I want to try and do. Well, it's the Culture Ireland agenda, I suppose, to increase that awareness here. To bring it up to date and to break down some of the outdated ideas that we have, that people have here, about what is going on over there."
In Byrne's opinion and experience, this disconnect is one effect of the emigrant's journey, and is especially central to that of the Irish emigrant. He calls exile "the Irish story," and is adamant that once you have left a country, you can never look back on it and see it in the same way. He raises the fascinating point that this idea plays a part in Irish myths from long before emigration was ever a word or an issue. He re-tells the story of Oisín returning home from Tír na Nóg, even though he was told not to, and aging the second he sets foot on land.
"That myth is [thousands] of years old. It's powerful, and its telling people 'You cannot return, it's not possible to come back. You go to this place and you stay there.' It's a warning telling you to think very carefully about where it is that your spirit settles." Byrne moves on to the Bible, to Lot and his wife, who turns into a pillar of salt for looking back; to the Children of Lír, exiled as swans in their own land; to a tale from Co. Cavan he had read the night before about a woman who is banished from her town and turned into a hare. (Throughout all this it becomes abundantly clear that he used to be a teacher.) "Before people even left Ireland," he muses, "they were concerned about these things."

The unexpected playoff talk surrounding the Miami Dolphins has quieted down over the last three weeks. After a three game winning streak had thrust them into the media spotlight, the Dolphins failed to take advantage of a New England Patriots bye week, falling to the Indianapolis Colts by just 3 points. Had Miami pulled out the win in Indianapolis, they would have been tied with the Patriots for first in the AFC East, and maybe the last two weeks would have turned out a bit differently.
Instead, they lost against Indy and the pieces began to crumble around them..http://bit.ly/TTVsGG

Dopamine: Go/No-Go motivation versus switching
Sensitivity to incentive motivation has a formative influence on extraversion. Mesoamygdaloid dopamine (DA) activity may, at one level, act as a micro-gate permitting an incentive to influence behavioral organization – "Go/No-Go" in this scheme. Data on function elsewhere in the mesocorticolimbic DA system are taken to support this particular function. At another level of analysis, the data in Depue & Collins's review, along with those on the rest of the ventral tegmental area (VTA) system, may fit better with a "switching" function in information processing. This link is supported by correlations between measures of extraversion, learned inattention, and overall DA activity. The point is extended to the novelty-seeking feature of the extraverted personality.

How to Shed Fat on the Yoga Mat
Think yoga's just about finding your inner peace? Think again. You can shed fat with yoga just like you can shed pounds with other exercises. The first step is simply finding the right yoga workout plan for you. Once you've got that plan in place, you'll be on the road to not only slimming down, but to overall self-improvement through the relaxation, strength training and agility that yoga teaches.
Step 1: Get clearance to start yoga
Although yoga is an exercise that is generally approved for most people, even those who have physical disabilities or are overweight, there are still some conditions for which yoga is not recommended. Check with your health professional before you begin a program.
Step 2: Choose a yoga class or video designed to help you lose fat
The two yoga practices that are most geared toward losing weight are power yoga and Bikram, which is heated yoga. Be sure to take a yoga class with a skilled teacher who can help you achieve your weight loss goals, use proper form and stay motivated. If you are just beginning, however, it is better to take a slower-paced class such as Hatha yoga to help you build up to a more advanced yoga practice. If taking classes is difficult due to your schedule or other concerns, yoga videos such as Gaiam's Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss on DVD or online video or Yoga Burn on DVD or online video can help you correctly learn to do the yoga positions that will help you shed fat in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Step 3: Lose the stress
The best way to lose weight doing yoga is to reduce stress right along with it. According to Timothy McCall, M.D., author of Yoga as Medicine, yoga can be effective for weight loss because it helps people de-stress and focus on taking better care of themselves. Prolonged and high levels of stress can increase the amount of cortisol, a hormone that affects metabolism, produced in the body. Among the many negative affects of increased levels of cortisol, such has higher blood pressure and lower immunity, is weight gain and increased belly fat. The Mayo Clinic recommends practicing yoga to relieve stress and prevent stress-related weight gain.
Step 4: Keep going
Whether you're practicing power yoga that allows you to shed fat by burning more calories or you're simply using other types of yoga to stay active and stress-free, keeping up this practice will help you lose weight and keep weight off. According to a 2005 Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine study, people between the ages of 45 to 55 who do yoga are more likely to lose weight and keep it off than those who don't.

SRINAGAR: It was an emergency like situation in Srinagar when 'curfew' was imposed in parts of the city, cell phones and internet services were switched off creating a situation that a spontaneous strike took place across Kashmir. Fearing disturbances, authorities had declared a school holiday for Friday and deployed thousands of security men on the streets, especially closer to the religious places.
No religious or a political party had called for a strike in Kashmir against the blasphemous film that mocks at Islam. But the happenings in Pakistan are presumed to have convinced authorities that a similar situation could take place in Kashmir.

Commentary: Mariners president's exit could help team rebound
SEATTLE — For nearly three decades, from George Argyros to Jack Zduriencik, from the Kingdome to Safeco Field-from rags to riches back to rags in the standings-Chuck Armstrong's stamp on the Mariners has been large and loud.
He was a hail fellow, a boisterous, back-slapping presence who was deeply involved in saving the franchise for Seattle-not once, but twice-and for bringing the long, complicated quest for a new stadium to a successful conclusion. During the darkest hours, both outcomes were far from guaranteed.

Correctional Officer/Prison Guard
Average Salary: $38,970
Expected Lifetime Earnings: $1,627,000
Good. Union-backed-good. You will likely be making in the neighborhood of $150k after a couple decades on the job, once you figure in the federal matching pensions, possibly even more if you rise to the ranks of supervisor or manager of other officers. Hm.
You'll have mixed feelings about the money as a taxpayer—and then as someone who has to do this needed but frankly awful job. For the cynical, it's a human septic tank management company that you'll be working for. You are being paid more than many doctors make yet you barely graduated high school. But who else is going to do this job?
There are all kinds of pressures against such relatively high pay. Every few years a politician suggests "outsourcing" to save money. That is, in California it costs about $70,000 a year to maintain a prisoner; in Arizona it costs less than half. What about shipping out the California prisoners to Arizona's high desert where they are mostly stored like canned goods, and buying endless Southwest tickets for family/friends/old drug dealer pals to visit any time they want, more or less? It'd save taxpayers billions. That's "billions" with a "b."
Your job would be threatened if this law was passed. Luckily for you, your union knows this and negotiates for "lifetime employment" guarantees if you've been on the job 10 years or more, making you something of a "lifer" yourself. If your job is ever removed, you'd still collect something like 80% of full pay for 20 years or more just for...doing nothing. Hope you like golf.

{Pup not included}
On Monday I had a tag sale. I spent a few days going through storage boxes in my basement- wanting to do one last purge! And purge I did.
I now have lots of empty space, clear shelving and very few odds and ends taking up space in my basement~ ahhhh!
I love simplicity!
That was how I spent my Labor Day- how about you?

1. I have done it.
2. It's way more complicated than it's worth
3. It's not supported by IBM.
4. Check out NIM --it's in all AIX installs, it's easy to set up and
it's supported. You can boot off the network and restore any mksysb
you can save to the NIM server.
Also - do you really need a BOOTABLE tape? You could always boot off
CD's then install from the mksysb backup copied onto a tape... Half
the time AIX has a bug in it requiring you to do this anyway although I
think it's cleared up this year. ( It'll be back...)

In this study, three commercially available truck mirrors are tested full-scale in a wind tunnel at highway speeds. The actual drag forces and the coefficients of drag based on frontal and glass areas are compared for various mirror angles, with and without a convex- mirror attachment. All three mirror types produced significantly high drag forces which were used to estimate the fuel consumption attributed to mirror aerodynamic resistance.
A standard rearview mirror, with mounting brackets, set was found to exhibit a drag coefficient, based on the glass area, of 1.81, which would increase the drag of a typical (Cd = 0.7, Af = 4.5m₂) truck by about 8.5 percent. A teardrop-shaped accessory mirror, although appearing more streamlined, actually produced a higher glass- based drag coefficient of 1.94, adding about 10 percent to the truck drag. A recent fully-faired mirror set performed best, with a glass- area-based drag coefficient of only 1.13, making up only 5.3 percent of the typical total aerodynamic truck drag.
Comparing the energy implications of the best to the worst mirrors, the estimated saving in fuel based on 150,000 km of annual driving, could amount to 800 L of diesel fuel or 1250 L of gasoline. These results suggest that more attention needs to be paid to truck-mirror aerodynamic design and selection.

Product Description
How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the "center of the world" and now the key to peace in the Middle East? In a gripping narrative, dimply entitled Jerusalem: A Biography Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals this ever-changing city in its many incarnations, bringing every epoch and character blazingly to life.
Jerusalem's biography is told through the wars, love affairs and revelations of the men and women-kings, empresses, prophets, poets, saints, conquerors and whores-who created, destroyed, chronicled and believed in Jerusalem. As well as the many ordinary Jerusalemites who have left their mark on the city, its cast varies from Solomon, Saladin and Suleiman the Magnificent to Cleopatra, Caligula and Churchill; from Abraham to Jesus and Muhammad; from the ancient world of Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and Nero to the modern times of the Kaiser, Disraeli, Mark Twain, Lincoln, Rasputin, Lawrence of Arabia and Moshe Dayan.
Drawing on new archives, current scholarship, his own family papers and a lifetime's study, Montefiore illuminates the essence of sanctity and mysticism, identity and empire in a unique chronicle of the city that many believe will be the setting for the Apocalypse. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice-in heaven and on earth.

Publisher's Description
Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgment Day and the battlefield of todays clash of civilizations. From King David to the 21st century, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of three thousand years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism, and coexistence. In this masterful narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore brings the holy city to life, through the people who created and destroyed itfrom Herod, Cleopatra and Nero to Churchill, Rasputin and Trumanand draws on the latest scholarship, his own family history, and a lifetime of study to show that the story of Jerusalem is truly the story of the world.
Author Bio

Young Stalin won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography, the Costa Biography Prize (UK), and Le Grand Prix de Biographie (France). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and is married to the novelist Santa Montefiore with whom he has two children.
Editorial Reviews
Jewish Book Council Book of the Year
"Spectacular. [Montefiore] really tells you what the life of the city has been like and why it means so much. You fall in love with the city. It's a treasure. It's a wonderful book."
Bill Clinton, #1 Holiday Book Pick on the Today show
"Magnificent. . . Montefiore barely misses a trick or a character in taking us through the city's story with compelling, breathless tension."
Wall Street Journal
"Impossible to put down. . . . Vastly enjoyable."
New York Times Book Review
"A powerful achievement. . . . At once a scholarly record and an exuberantly written popular tour de force."
New York Review of Books
"Magisterial. . . . As a writer, Montefiore has an elegant turn of phrase and an unerring ear for the anecdote that will cut to the heart of a story. . . . A joy to read."
The Economist
"Already a classic. Jerusalem is an extraordinary achievement, written with imagination and energy. . . . Simon Sebag Montefiore tells this modern story with clarity and admirable impartiality. . . . Read this book."
Financial Times
"Montefiores towering biography of the city relates in fascinating, horrific and sometimes comical detail the wars to annexe its symbolic sanctity and the daily lives of its inhabitants. This monument of scholarly research is also a compelling story: of human foibles, lust, bravery and chicanery."
The Times of London
"Densely textured. . . . Montefiore embraces Jerusalems paradoxes in his chronological account, which seeks to avoid hindsight and disclaims a political agenda. He succeeds admirably in remaining evenhanded, a particularly notable achievement."
Los Angeles Times
"A memorable and distinguished history of a city where the truth is much less important than the myth. . . . Splendidly evoked."
Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Magnificent. . . . A spectacular book for general readers. . . . This is a book about the ages, for the ages."
Wichita Eagle
"Sweeping and absorbing. . . . Montefiore is a master of colorful and telling details and anecdotes. . . . His account is admirably dispassionate and balanced."
Washington Post Book World
"In his stunningly comprehensive history, Simon Sebag Montefiore covers 3,000-plus years of the Earths most fiercely contested piece of geography. . . . Not only has Montefiore delivered a piece of superb scholarship, he has done so in an extremely easy-to-read style. The author tells the history of the complex relationships that existed between long-dead peoples in a manner that makes them seem human and understandable. . . . Meticulously researched."
The Newark Star-Ledger
"Few historians have demonstrated the vision, mastery, and boldness necessary to publish on a subject so vast and in such detail as Montefiore. . . . A marvelous panorama."
Library Journal
"This is an essential book for those who wish to understand a city that remains a nexus of world affairs. . . . Although his Jewish family has strong links to the city, Montefiore scrupulously sustains balance and objectivity. . . . Beautifully written, absorbing."
Booklist (starred)
"A panoramic narrative of Jerusalem, organized chronologically and delivered with magisterial flair. Spanning eras from King David to modern Israel with rich anecdotes and vivid detail, this exceptional volume portrays the personalities and worldviews of the dynasties and families that shaped the city throughout its 3,000-year history."
Publishers Weekly (starred)
"An essential text, bathed in blood, lit with faint hope. . . . The author sees Jerusalem not just as the setting for some of historys most savage violence but a microcosm of our world. . . . The story is horribly complex, and Montefiore struggles mightily to make everything clear as well as compelling."
Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Four thousand years of history absolutely romped througha masterwork."
The Evening Standard (UK)
"Immensely readable. . . . Montefiore is that rarest of things: a historian who writes great, weighty tomes that read like the best thrillers. . . . [He] has a visceral understanding of what makes history worth reading. [Montefiore] manages to bring people who have been dead for two millennia alive again and make them breathe, and he has insight into the mind of psychopathic tyrants that makes you wish he were working for the U.S. secretary of state."

Privacy & Confidentiality
Information disclosed during your sessions is strictly confidential. Your written permission is required before any information about your contact with Hosford Clinic is released to anyone outside of the Clinic. This means that if your partner, family member, employer, roommate, friend, or other person contacts us about you, we will not acknowledge that we know of you. It also means if you want us to release information to someone else, we cannot do so until you complete a Release of Information Form.
However, there are four specific situations in which we are required to release information:
1. If a minor child, elderly individual, or a dependent adult is at risk of being physically or sexually abused or neglected, a clinician is required to report that information to the appropriate agency to assure the safety of the person.
2. If you present an imminent risk of serious injury to yourself, the clinician would take action to assure your safety. However the clinician is also obligated to release only as much information as is judged to be necessary to protect your safety.
3. If you threaten serious harm to another person, the clinician is required to take action to warn and protect the other person. Typically, this involves contacting the person who is being threatened and contacting the police. However, the clinician is obligated to release only as much information as is judged to be necessary to protect your safety.
4. When a release of records is court-mandated.
HIPAA & Confidentiality (from UND)
A Federal law known as "HIPAA" (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) requires health care providers to implement a comprehensive approach to protect the privacy of personal health information (PHI). There are nine parts to HIPAA, but our immediate compliance will focus on three areas:
Privacy Rule:
The Privacy Rule regulates the use and distribution of identifiable health information and gives individuals the right to determine and restrict access to their health information. Compliance with HIPAA's privacy regulations will be required beginning April 14, 2003. Substantial penalties, both civil and criminal, may be imposed for non-compliance.
Security Rule:
The HIPAA Security Rule mandates that reasonable and appropriate technical, physical, and administrative safeguards be implemented with electronic identifiable health information. We must ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all electronic protected health information we create, receive, maintain or transmit. Compliance date for the Security Rule is October 16, 2003.
Transactions and Codes:
HIPAA requires DHHS to adopt standards to facilitate Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). HIPAA transaction standards apply to any health care provider that transmits any health information in electronic form.
A summary of the Act can be found at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/summary/index.html and at http://www.cms.gov/hipaageninfo/ by clicking on the HIPAA "Administrative Simplification" link.

OUTSIDERSMUSIC is claiming MBM portfolio of clients their own when they actually never worked with them. MARY KONATE / Marietou Konate Thief, Criminal, Lazy, Dishonest. Internet*UPDATE EX-employee responds: Marietou Konate - One of the hardest working employees I've ever come across Marietou Konate / Mary Konate was an employee of MBM, a reputable company with a reputable reputation in the music industry for over 15 years, until she came along.
Marietou Konate was in US with a tourist visa with no money, no experieces in music business who was looking for a job when in an effort to help her, she was employed with the company by it's CEO. [continued below]....
She daily would report to work late and leave early. She would not follow up on projects, deals and deadlines and cost the company some clients and it's reputation and ultimately money. Clients began complaining about her performance and when she was addressed about it she made no changes. She also used the personal's credit card of CEO to pay for expenses without the authorisation of the CEO.
The final straw was when due to her suspicious activities, the CEO discovered that his database of business contacts from his days managing celebrated artists to his current clients had been copied, and Marietou KONATE /MARY KONATE was contacting some of the businesses offering her services as the competitor to the company she was still employed by. In order to cover her tracks, she further deleted all emails in the company's mailbox to hide what she had been doing. Upon advise from his attorney, CEO was advised to terminate her and give Marietou Konate a termination letter which included the 'No competition clause' and be paid to leave. Reason for the clause being, she had stolen all the business' operational strategies and contacts and was going to establish the exact duplicate of the company with the information she stole.
She refused and has been about making attempts to sabotage the reputation of the company and the reputation of the CEO who helped her when she was in need. Marietou Konate (Mary Konate) is currently wanted by the immigration service to be deported and has changed her all her contact information so she cannot be found. This woman is a thief, a liar and a sabotageur attempting to spoil the reputation of a good company that has had no issues with the law or anyone. She is not to be trusted. Mary Konate / Marietou Konate (outsidersmusic.com) an ungrateful criminal.
We truly know that anything she would mention or include in the story would be wrong and invalid and would only be used as a threat and a bribe against MBM, in order to collect money off of MBM. This case has not been solved despite of what Mary Konate stated.

Native American mural unveiled
December 2, 2009 1:37 PM
After four years, the Native American Studies department finally has a mural up on one of the walls of the Cesar Chavez Student Center.
The unveiling of the mural, "We Are Still Here," took place in front of the student center's West Plaza Friday afternoon. About 250 people attended the event.
The mural depicts community activism, self determination, resistance and survivance of Native American people and the defense of native lands. It also makes a connection between the SF State Strike of 1968-69 and the occupation of Alcatraz.
"It fits right in artistically, professionally, politically," said Aimee Z. Barnes, the program development officer for the Richard Oakes Multicultural Center.
The rain forced everybody to take the ceremony preceding the unveiling to Jack Adams Hall in the student center.
There were a series of speeches and presentations by the mural committee members and members of the Student Kouncil of Intertribal Nations, followed by dance performances.
"It feels good to be part of a celebration that recognizes the effort of the people," said Eddie Madril, one of the performers and a member of the Pascua Yaqui tribe in Southern Arizona and Northern Sonora Mexico.
SF State President Robert A. Corrigan said there was so much warmth in the room that "it was one the best experiences since the opening of Jack Adams Hall."
The mural was originally commissioned in October 2005 by the Cesar Chavez Student Center Governing Board, but lack of organization and concrete idea of the mural coming from the mural committee made it impossible to execute the project faster.
The president and co-chair of SKIN, Dianna Baldwin, said in an interview preceding the event that she was really excited to finally have it ready after waiting for so long.
"I'm glad we got to get it completed before I graduate," said Baldwin, who is a senior majoring in zoology with a minor in American Indian studies.
The mural committee did an extensive search to find the right artists before picking Mark Nicely and Larry Sillaway.
Nicely and Sillaway, worked on the designing of the mural for a few months and the actual painting for a few weeks, said Nicely the day before the event.
Sillaway, who is from the Yurok tribe of Northern California, was in charge of painting the frame around the mural.
"We were going back and forth with the committee to get the concepts that they wanted in there," Nicely said. "We were working directly with them to get something that everybody liked."
Both artists signed posters of the mural by the Richard Oakes Multicultural Center after the unveiling. Richard Oakes, then 27 and an SF State student, led an occupation of Alcatraz Island in 1969. He led a group of 60 American Indians, some of whom were SF State students, to reclaim the island in the name of Indians of all tribes. This event led to the creation of the American Indian studies department at SF State.
The public looked satisfied with the result, and the artists and organizers were greatly applauded.
"It's absolutely amazing," said Diana Singh, 25, a recent American Indian studies graduate. "It's so beautiful and detailed. To have this mural on campus, it's like why wasn't there one before? So, it fits in with the other ones."
Corrigan, who had seen sketches of the mural beforehand but had never seen it finished before the unveiling, said the mural looked "fantastic."
"You can't always tell when you see the sketches, and I hate to make comparisons but this is one of the best murals that we've put out," Corrigan said.

News 12 at 11 O'clock / Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013
EVANS, G.A. (WRDW) - It can strike when you least expect it.
Disasters on every level: Flooding, tornado's, hurricanes.
"People that are in distress, they're relying on you," says Sargent Cody Turner with the Georgia State Defense Force.
Those folks are relying on soldiers like Turner, who's no stranger to catastrophe.
"Fresh out of basic training, actually I was activated and sent to hurricane Katrina," he told News 12's Patrick Price.
He remembers what the devastation looked like. He remembered the lives he helped save.
"Pretty horrific thing, you know 18 years old, got there, they said we got about 1800 plus people that are missing, and we need to go find them," said Turner.
He's not a first responder with the defense force, an agency that's been around for more than 80 years, serving a community that doesn't even know they exist.
"If something happened here in Augusta and we get on scene, you'd have everybody from your community well trained, working along side with other people with the Columbia County EMA system," he said.
Captain Todd Gallagher knows the power is in the numbers. He says, "We have about 750 soldiers in the state defense force in Georgia alone."
But this force is different. They're not the National Guard, they're not the Army. They volunteer unpaid, protecting the community if and when disaster strikes.
"Anything that the National Guard does, we can do," said Gallagher.
And they can do it quicker. Gallagher says what might take days even weeks for national guard to respond to a disaster, would only take hours for them.
National Guard soldiers have to wait for activation by the president which is cause for delay. The defense force can be deployed quicker just by states approval.
"With state active duty, the state at its own discretion can activate you, and this is where the state defense force comes in," he said.
And hundreds of soldiers across the state can respond.
It's a comforting feeling for Pam Tucker with Columbia County EMA.
"It's an added resource to our long list of resources for disaster," she explained to News 12. "I hope we never need them, but should we, we are very comforted in knowing they're going to come with equipment and training to help us out."
An added sense of satisfaction for soldiers like Turner whose' help means more than just saving time.
"It's a good thing to be able to help out in such a degree that it could change somebodies life or even save it," said Turner.
Turner and his fellow soldiers will be holding an information session on Saturday, October 19, lasting from 10 am to 2 pm.
For more information on what they do in our area, please visit their website.

Paper Chase
Efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a monoclonal antibody to proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 in combination with a statin in patients with hypercholesterolaemia (LAPLACE-TIMI 57): a randomised, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, phase 2 study.
TIMI Study Group, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA. firstname.lastname@example.com
LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) is a well established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) binds LDL receptors, targeting them for degradation. We therefore assessed the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AMG 145, a human monoclonal IgG2 antibody against PCSK9, in stable patients with hypercholesterolemia on a statin.
In a phase 2, dose-ranging study done in 78 centres in the USA, Canada, Denmark, Hungary, and Czech Republic, patients (aged 18-80 years) with LDL-C greater than 2·2 mmol/L on a stable dose of statin (with or without ezetimibe), were randomly assigned equally, through an interactive voice response system, to subcutaneous injections of AMG 145 70 mg, 105 mg, or 140 mg, or matching placebo every 2 weeks; or subcutaneous injections of AMG 145 280 mg, 350 mg, or 420 mg, or matching placebo every 4 weeks. Everyone was masked to treatment assignment within the every 2 weeks and every 4 weeks schedules. The primary endpoint was the percentage change in LDL-C concentration from baseline after 12 weeks. Analysis was by modified intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01380730.
631 patients with hypercholesterolaemia were randomly assigned to AMG 145 70 mg (n=79), 105 mg (n=79), or 140 mg (n=78), or matching placebo (n=78) every 2 weeks; or AMG 145 280 mg (n=79), 350 mg (n=79), and 420 mg (n=80), and matching placebo (n=79) every 4 weeks. At the end of the dosing interval at week 12, the mean LDL-C concentrations were reduced generally dose dependently by AMG 145 every 2 weeks (ranging from 41·8% to 66·1%; p<0·0001 for each dose vs placebo) and AMG 145 every 4 weeks (ranging from 41·8% to 50·3%; p<0·0001). No treatment-related serious adverse events occurred. The frequencies of treatment-related adverse events were similar in the AMG 145 and placebo groups (39 [8%] of 474 vs 11 [7%] of 155); none of these events were severe or life-threatening.
The results suggest that PCSK9 inhibition could be a new model in lipid management. Inhibition of PCSK9 warrants assessment in phase 3 clinical trials.

again that I agree that FAX has disappointed meto and I bought it at 5 7/16, watched it go to 6 7/8and back down again. But it is my understanding thatFAX has not paid their dividend from operationalearnings since the last rights offering was completed; Infact they stated as much that the .72 through Marchwas based partly on capital gains. Well, with risinginterest rates, FAX has seen the underlying market valueof their bonds decrease and have had no opportunityto generate additional capital gains throughportfolio turnover. Thus, income from investments remainsstatic and their capital gains are about spent; Andguess what, we can probably expect a dividendcut.There is chance that the dividend cut could betemporary if interest rates fall which could put FAX in aposition to once again start generating capital gainsthrough portfolio turnover; but I wouldn't hold mybreath. It's more likely that FAX will have anotherrights offering to generate more cash to invest whichwould dilute our share NAV just like before. Justanother cycle like we have just experienced. If interestrates would have fallen even more, which some werepredicting, the capital gains flow would have continued andthe dividend would have been safe. I can rememberpredictions that the long bond would go to 3.5% about thesame time that FAX was completing the rights offering.We all know now that didn't happen. However, thereare those that predict that long bond rates will beunder 6% by year end.Also, don't forget thereis one other wild card, and that is the Aust.$.
that you see no hope for any stability or gain.Is that corect? If so, IYHO, should we just take ourlicks and get out? Just read a neat article by PaulSturm in the Feb. issue of Smart Money. He advocates CEmunicipal bond funds because of their deep discount. One, ahigh quality, insured...is paying a taxable equivalentof 9%. Thanks for your thoughtful replies. I havejust started using the net and have discovered theDividend History feature in Yahoo. If I had had that atthe time I bought FAX, and seen the decliningdividends, I would not have bought.

The Wayback Machine: "Shot Down"
The Way Back Machine – Nov. 3, 1995 - 11 shots allowed in a loss
On Nov. 3, 1995, the Capitals took on the Florida Panthers at USAir Arena, entering the contest with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference (8-3-0).
Tonight, the Captials will take on the Florida Panthers at BankAtlantic Center, entering the contest with the second best record in the Eastern Conference (8-3-4).
In 1995-96, the Panthers (8-4-0) were off to great start of their own, led on offense by Scott Mellanby, Stu Barnes and Jody Hull and in net by veteran goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck.
The Capitals benefitted from the outstanding play of their defense, led by Calle Johansson, Mark Tinordi and Sergei Gonchar, and solid play in net from Jim Carey and Olie Kolzig. The Caps had allowed two goals or fewer in eight of their first 11 games of the season
The battle between the Caps and Panthers was an early one for the title of "Best in the East." The winner of the contest would overtake the Philadelphia Flyers for first place in the Eastern Conference.
The Panthers entered the contest with one of the best offenses in the NHL (43 goals in 11 games), and got off to a quick start, scoring three first period goals on just five shots. The goal-scorers for the Panthers, in order, were Radek Dvorak, Robert Svehla, and Rob Niedermeyer. The Caps' Peter Bondra mixed in a goal to tie the game at 1-1, but the Panthers held a 3-1 advantage at the end of the first period.
Although the Caps trailed, they continued a dominant defensive performance, allowing three shots in the second period, and three in the third period, for a total of 11 shots allowed. No Panthers player had more than two shots on goal in the contest.
"They had three goals on five shots but only one good scoring chance," said Capitals head coach Jim Schoenfeld. "I can't be too upset when we allow 11 shots in 60 minutes."
Gonchar scored with 2:33 left in the third period, but the Capitals were unable to rally for the victory, falling 3-2 to the Panthers. The 11 shots allowed set a club record at the time for fewest shots allowed in a game.
That record was broken last season, when the Capitals allowed just 10 shots to the Vancouver Canucks in a 5-1 victory on Oct. 13, 2008.
In the 1995-96 season, the Capitals set a team record for fewest goals allowed (204) a standard that was lowered in 1997-98 (202 goals allowed) and again in 1999-2000 (194 goals allowed).
The Panthers would finish the 1995-96 season as Eastern Conference champions, before falling to the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals.

Jackson police have issued an arrest warrant for Lee Ewing Jr. who they suspect stole porch furniture in the middle of the day.
Belhaven homeowner Brian Perry posted a surveillance video on YouTube showing a man walking up and taking the chairs off the porch.
The man later tried to sell the items to a furniture store, Perry said. Someone at the store saw the YouTube clip and called the homeowner.
Neighbors in the area said they are fed up.
"You almost can't even keep a bike around here 'cause immediately when people see you have something they go and get it," said Belhaven resident Fulton Cannon.

Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack 4-6 inches (10-15cm) from the heat source.
Wash the eggplant and prick the surface all over about 12 times with a fork. Brush with the olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Broil the eggplant, turning it approximately every 10 minutes, until the skin is charred all over and the pulp is very soft, about 30-45 minutes. As the eggplant begins to soften it will become tricky to turn. I find that holding the stem end with tongs provides me with better grip. Remove the eggplant from the oven and cool for at least 15 minutes.
While the eggplant is cooling, place the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt into the bowl of a food processor or blender and process until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
When the eggplant has cooled, cut it open with a small knife and scoop out the pulp, discarding the skin. Add the eggplant to the tahini mixture in the food processor or blender and process for 15 seconds, until smooth. (It is important to have the tahini and lemon juice mixture prepared ahead of time. Once the eggplant flesh is exposed to the air it will start to turn dark if not mixed immediately with the lemon juice.)
Spoon the Baba Ghanouj into a bowl, drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve with the wedges of Pita Bread.
Wine Suggestion: Merlot

All thread cards and organizers are printed on heavy board and bear the names of towns in Normandy which was the linen producing region of France. This region was known for its cotton mills. In the past, linen thread was mainly sold on this type of card. All of the sets of thread cards are presented in small blue and white boxes. Sold in a group of six, these designs take us back to the beginning of thread cards. Size: 5.5 x 5.5 cm
