Thalassemia Intermedia Differential Diagnoses
- Author: Hassan M Yaish, MD; Chief Editor: Robert J Arceci, MD, PhD more...
Diagnostic Considerations
In prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia intermedia, DNA probes of known genotypes are usually used. Because this condition varies significantly in severity (despite the misleading name), a milder form of disease may be anticipated in a baby who turns out to be affected by a more severe form of the disease. For this reason, parents should be informed in advance that testing may help rule out the possibility of severe disease (such as when a heterozygous condition is diagnosed) or may confirm severe disease when a homozygosity or heterozygosity for 2 severe mutations is confirmed. However, intermediate cases may be misleading, and the predictability of severity has been less accurate until recently, when a new study showed 83.2% accuracy in predicting disease severity when the patient is tested for the presence or absence of 5 predetermined genetic modifiers of severity.[24]
Other problems that should be considered during the evaluation of a patient with suspected thalassemia intermedia include the following:
Acute leukemias
Hemolytic anemias (autoimmune, metabolic)
Beta thalassemia major
Thalassemia traits
Thrombocytopenia, associated with splenomegaly in various clinical entities
Anemia, hypochromic and microcytic
The severe anemia, if associated with thrombocytopenia, hypersplenism, and the immature leukocytes often observed on peripheral blood films, raises the question of acute leukemia or metastatic lymphoma. Milder cases, on the other hand, must be differentiated from thalassemia trait or even anemias related to iron deficiency or chronic inflammation. Unlike the intermedia forms, β thalassemia trait rarely produces an Hb level less than 9 g/dL, nor is it associated with enlarged spleen, the presence of nucleated RBCs, or significant anisocytosis and poikilocytosis on peripheral blood smear examination. Iron deficiency anemia is characterized by a normal Hb electrophoresis pattern and abnormal iron study results.

If you have an alcoholic husband and you do not know what to do about your situation then here is what you should do.� You should find an Al-Anon meeting in your area and go to it.� If you have to do this in secret you should do it anyway.� If you have to make sacrifices to do this you should do it anyway.� You owe it to yourself to get some help and support and this is the single most important step that you can take in getting some help.
There are basically 3 things that could happen if you are putting up with an alcoholic spouse.� One is that you could leave the situation.� You can pack a bag and hit the road and not look back.� Most people do not see this as an option but it absolutely is.� Maybe it is nowhere near that point yet but if nothing changes then eventually you might be facing that decision.� It might be the only thing that will save your sanity one day.
The other thing that might happen is that the alcoholic will stop drinking and seek help for their alcoholism.� This is what you are wishing for, hoping for, dying for.� This is what you want to happen and you have probably found this page hoping for a secret method to make this happen.� There is no magic wand, unfortunately.
The third possibility is that you continue to live with the alcoholic and they continue to drink.� You can do this rather blindly, or you can do this with help and support and an education so that you are no longer contributing to the alcoholism.� In other words you can learn how to stop enabling and possibly move them closer to surrender and eventual treatment at some point.� Understand though that this can be a very, very slow process and might take years or even decades.� You still might have to make a decision about leaving if you want your sanity back.
So those are the options.� You leave, you stay and he drinks, or you stay and he magically gets sober.
Guess which one you can't count on?� The one where� he gets sober.� You cannot count on that as part of your plan.� Ever.� You have to start living your life and be happy with yourself in such a way that his sobriety is not the source of your happiness or misery.� You have to separate your life and your happiness from his drinking.� That is the challenge that is before you and you are going to need some help with it so I strongly urge you to go to Al-anon.

There is no sign for this cemetery - it sits quietly on the corner - surrounded by corn fields. There are four specifically marked grave sights where the stone has evidently been destroyed, but was replaced by a large rock. There is no indication of names on any of these rocks.

Description: This is a collection of descriptions of papers introducing treatment strategies in neurological critical care.
Purpose: The book presents front pages and summaries of papers that have had a significant impact on the diagnosis and management of critical neurological conditions.
Audience: Intensivists, particularly those managing neurological patients, are an appropriate audience for this book, produced by a senior neurologist and intensivist from the Mayo Clinic.
Features: The 60 historical notes are grouped into eight sections. The initial section describes the early days of neurological intensive care, while later sections describe clinical syndromes, management strategies, intervention trials, and outcome reports. Two concluding historical notes describe the introduction of the living will concept and limiting the level of care. Examples of clinical findings include the fixed dilated pupil, decerebrate rigidity, the Cushing reflex, the Cushing ulcer, cerebral salt wasting, and thunderclap headache. The clinical syndromes described include brain death, persistent vegetative state, locked-in syndrome, myasthenic crisis, and pituitary apoplexy. The book covers the origins of contemporary management strategies including hyperventilation, use of osmotic agents, and therapeutic hypothermia and provides outcome studies describing treatment results for traumatic brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and persistent vegetative state, among others. Each historical note uses a consistent format, presenting the context of the paper and reproducing the front page, then providing response to the manuscript and a reflection on the impact of the strategy on neurological critical care today. The table of contents groups the historical notes according to type of innovation.
Assessment: This unique and beautifully written summary is a worthy addition to the bookshelf of any practitioner providing neurological intensive care. Sentinel papers are placed in the context of important follow-up work, which increases the value of this collection.

Fundraising director, Scope from May 2011
Alan Gosschalk is fundraising director at Scope following a two-month stint as interim fundraising director.
He took over for a brief spell as acting chair at the Institute of Fundraising in 2010/2011.
A career fundraiser, Alan is best known for his nine-year stint leading the fundraising team at Shelter, during which time he more than doubled the charity's voluntary income.
His fundraising career started in a marketing role at Help the Aged, before he moved to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund as head of marketing and then on to the RNID as fundraising director.
His departure from Shelter came about after the charity decided to subsume the role of director of fundraising within the new enlarged function of shops, training and enterprise. Gosschalk opted not to apply for the job as he wanted to continue to focus on fundraising. In June 2009 he became interim director of fundraising and communication at African medical charity AMREF, succeeding Paul Marvell who left to become director of learning at the Institute of Fundraising.
Six months later he joined consultancy BlueFrog as client services director but left nine months later in September 2010 stating that he wanted to take some time off and then find work within a charity again.
Gosschalk is also chair of the ImpACT Coalition, which he launched in 2005. He stepped up from vice chair to chair of the Institute of Fundraising in late 2010 after Paul Amadi resigned from the role. He is also a trustee of the overseas charity, Hope & Homes for Children.

The Institute of Fundraising's upcoming meeting on face-to-face fundraising is long overdue and the absence of the PFRA may make it a more productive endeavour, says former PFRA chair Michael Naidu.
Alan Gosschalk embarked on a trek to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa last month. It brought expected challenges, and unexpected pleasures.
Alan Gosschalk announces the winner of his punchline competition and congratulates himself on sparking a lively debate.
High turnover of fundraising staff is not an unavoidable state of affairs. Fundraising managers and directors need to step up, look after their staff and reap the rewards, says Alan Gosschalk.

Hugh Hefner feels 26-year-old Kimberly Conrad was made for him because she is young, has no career ambitions and no desire to travel (PEOPLE, July 17). I wonder if it has occurred to him that the only interesting thing she has left to do is grow old?
Nancy Niemann
Muskego, Wis.
Your cover depicting Hugh Hefner and his new wife caught my eye as it lay in the waiting room of our office. Though I am no particular fan of Mr. Hefner's or of the Playboy philosophy, I would be willing to bet that he entered matrimony with the same hopes and expectations for success and fulfillment that any of us might have. Thus, I find the narrative remarks printed adjacent to the cover photograph to be biased, unworthy and inflammatory. I feel I must protest in the most meaningful manner and, hence, will not renew our subscription.
Stuart C. Spiegel, M.D.
Hef has finally shown some sense. He realizes that no mature woman in her right mind would be willing to take on the old wreck.
Shirley Hoglund

I find it unfortunate and saddening that Mrs. Hefner feels secure in the presence of Hefner's ex-girlfriends not because she and Hef are "both very much in love" or because they "really, really like each other" but because she is "the young one." Does this mean she would feel threatened by women younger than 26? Good luck to both of them.

Yeah, and with that smile she's thinking, "I want half."

As a friend and employee of Jim Backus's for 13 years, I was especially touched by your beautiful tribute to him. However, I do want to point out one small error in your article. While Jim was in semiretirement because of his battle with Parkinson's disease, he was in no way a recluse in the years before his death. In the last four months of his life alone, I personally accompanied him to four parties, charity events and Parkinson's fund-raisers. Jim felt that he needed to be in the public eye to show that one can battle his disease with dignity, grace and a sense of humor. Jim didn't believe in giving up—and he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

In your story about Stella Adler you quoted me as saying, "She scared me to death. I didn't want to be berated," which is only partially correct. When I originally auditioned for Ms. Adler, I was 18 and not quite prepared for the intensity of the experience. However, at 23 I returned to New York and enrolled in the conservatory as a full-time student. I studied with Ms. Adler for one year. She is one of the greatest teachers in the history of artistic expression. As an actress, I was and still am in awe of her ability. As a person, I find her a constant inspiration.

Is it not bad enough that animals are tortured day after day in medical labs? As an animal-rights activist, I find it hard to justify "freezing" them so a person like Dick Clair can take a chance at cheating the inevitable—death. If these selfish people want to conduct such a process, let them be chilled at 39°F for over four hours and come out of it "a little wobbly and deaf."

Danny DeVito as the Riddler. Not bad, but we unanimously agree that Robin Williams would be perfect for the role. DeVito would make a better Penguin, and our choice for Catwoman is Sigourney Weaver. While we're at it, what about Michael J. Fox as Robin? Jon Peters, are you paying attention?

I am writing to vent my anger over Cheech Marin's actions and words. It is beyond me why anyone in his obviously secure financial situation would panhandle in the first place. But then for him to brag that he kept the money he "worked" for is despicable. I am sure there are many organizations that would have gladly taken the money he begged for and used it to help those who are truly in need. Mr. Marin is in desperate need of a lesson in morals.

A judge who was verbally abused by a defendant reciprocated at a court hearing where he was being sentenced for breaching an antisocial behaviour order.

John Hennigan, 50, who had breached the order by using racist language towards a black woman and her two children told Chelmsford crown court judge Patricia Lynch QC that she was "a bit of a cunt". And Judge Lynch replied: "You are a bit of a cunt yourself."

When Hennigan screamed back "Go fuck yourself", the judge replied: "You too." He reportedly also shouted "Sieg Heil" – a pro-Hitler chant used in Nazi Germany – and banged the glass panel of the dock as he was jailed for 18 months.

Hennigan, from Harlow, Essex, has dozens of previous convictions for offences including drug and firearm possession and common assault.

An asbo was previously imposed on him in 2005 when a swastika was discovered daubed on the front door of his council house.

I can understand the Judge's reaction, but I have never used that word in court, other than in direct quotation from the evidence.

Perhaps a quiet word from the circuit presider might be in order here.Bystander Teamhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-87990930274357294612016-08-09T18:12:00.001+01:002016-08-09T18:12:11.966+01:00Enough, Already!This is not a political blog, although politics inevitably creep in to discussions of matters legal. I have followed politics since I was at school, although I was never elected to anything. The current situation beggars belief, and I imagine that today's crop of journalists will shake their heads in their old age, and say "but you should have been there in the summer of 2016; everything seemed to happen at once. " I am now even more convinced that my belief in the iron Law of Unintended consequences is the right one.

I have had to cut back on my sittings of late, as I am awaiting an operation to give me a new knee joint, and although I can get around in the courthouse it isn't always easy. As I am due to retire from the Bench in late October I have excused myself from getting to grips with some of the more complex innovations that have recently been introduced, such as iPads on the bench. I own a couple of iPads and I am comfortable with using them, but inevitably any government-issued software is over-engineered and the last thing from user-friendly.

My court has a few boxes that contain the iPads as well as charging them overnight, but those JPs who wish to use them have to submit to training as well as an elaborate procedure to keep them secure. It is worse for judges of course, but then they are paid £130k and more to cope.

Given my impending retirement, I cannot summon up the enthusiasm to get stuck in to this 21st century stuff (albeit the technology is a decade old).

I am trying to avoid becoming what old Army types call demob-happy so I shall concentrate on justice before bureaucracy.

The received wisdom of the public is that politicians are dishonest, but that is almost invariably a misreading. If MPs and others had to answer every question frankly, life would be impossible. Most of the usual questions would have to be answered with "I don't know" or "well, I hope that A happens but it might well be B for all I know." The Paxman figure would then rip the interviewee to shreds.

Some people (such as Christopher Huhne) simply lie about who was driving the speeding vehicle, and others claim not to know the ID of the driver, but the consequences of being caught can be nasty. These cases tend to be listed in just a few courts, which can be pretty tiresome for the bench members. As it happens these cases are a rarity in my court, so this week the S172 that appeared on my list was the first that I have ever done, in about 30 years on the bench. The evidence was pretty thin, and we acquitted. The clerk told us later that these cases often fail to stick.

They are a tidy source of revenue for the various loophole specialists in the legal profession, as many people will cough up a hefty sum to keep their driving licence.Bystander Teamhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-85695342107037887882016-06-03T19:23:00.002+01:002016-06-03T19:23:46.971+01:00NastyA colleague whose court has jurisdiction over a major airport tells me that she has recently dealt with a case from 'Operation Jigsaw' the Met Police team that handles repatriated sex offenders.

She told me that a man with 120 and more convictions, many for sex offences, had served time in an antipodean prison, and had been put on a plane to the UK on his release. The magistrates made a highly restrictive order about his future conduct, and he was returned to police custody for the time being.Bystander Teamhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-17489303216232769892016-05-26T19:42:00.003+01:002016-05-26T19:42:40.500+01:00Auld Lang SyneReading of the planned closure of Southwark Crown Court took my mind back to the day when I was sworn in there as a JP.

I was in court three and one pleasant git shouted at a very pregnant prosecutor 'I hope that baby doesn't get born'.

He did come back and apologise but not before insulting his own nice lady rep (who then refused to act for him)!

The release of the report saw emotionally charged interviews with the bereaved that were understandable, especially given the drama-soaked circumstances. It transpired, as so often happens, that some of those crying loudly for 'justice' had revenge in mind, and that led me to think about the justice that I help to administer. Seriousness and culpability come near the top of our list of things to consider, so let's take a cool-headed look at Hillsborough.
The police commander made an error of judgment in opening the gates to the terraces, a relatively low-level error but one that had devastating consequences. The response of he police and other services was inadequate, and many deaths resulted.
So what would be justice in this case, given the finality of all those corpses?

It appears that the police commander might be liable in law for negligence (although I am not at all qualified to comment on the legal aspects) but what good would it do to punish him?

The nearest parallel that I can think of is in the field of aviation safety. Pilots are able to report incidents fully and truthfully, without fear of being punished. This is by far the best way to build a body of experience to avoid future disasters.

However, and it is a massive however, there are suggestions that there was a cover-up at all levels, including, incredibly, the methodical editing of police statements. That is what should attract condign punishment, rather than one man's catastrophic failure of judgement.Bystander Teamhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-34117757749124743632016-04-26T20:04:00.004+01:002016-06-04T12:25:52.499+01:00From Bystander T
From Bystander T ( a wise and experienced old beak)<o:p></o:p>

Back in the day, the Press would have someone sitting at the back of the court quite regularly. Sometimes it was one of the old hands, looking for a warm place to rest; sometimes a junior, sent to cut their teeth, practising the art. Rarely would a week go by with no reporter appearing in court. In recent times reporters seem to appear only for celebrities or other high profile defendants. <o:p></o:p>

Then earlier this week, with a mixed list in the remand court, what do I see but two reporters sitting at the back. Examining the list I see a rather nasty sexual assault case, on a girl of 16. It is at the nastier end of the spectrum so is to be sent to 'hizonner' up the road. That must the case which has attracted the hacksattention? <o:p></o:p>

But no. On consulting she who must be obeyed (the usher) we discovered that the case they wanted to see was a traffic matter. Some misguided youth was seen driving round with a blue light, à la politzie and had been stopped. It was his prosecution that brought back the reporters. <o:p></o:p>

May I be forgiven for thinking this a sad reflection? <o:p></o:p>

There can be cases where it might be appropriate , such as a life-or-death family crisis, but these need to be exceptional. Further, the words used in court need to be chosen with great care, because the press will take interest in any suggestion of the bench being a crew of silly soft-hearted old duffers, and the Indignant Tendency that infests social media will make the most of it.

Criminal court tech reforms 'a disaster' <o:p></o:p>

Reforms to move paper-based criminal courts into the digital age have been beset by failings with lost computer discs, systems that "do not talk to each other" and "numerous mistakes", inspectors have found.<o:p></o:p>

Their damning report finds that despite the multimillion-pound programme to modernise the courts, many still heavily rely on paper and manual processes such as scanning documents and producing hard copy of digital images.<o:p></o:p>

This is to compensate for the "lack of a wholly intuitive digital capability", the inspectors say, a situation that causes wasted costs, increased risk of error and undermines the benefits that could come from full digital working.<o:p></o:p>

More than 90 per cent of criminal cases are sent to the Crown Prosecution Service from the police electronically but there is a "high level of user input and processes to make paper documents electronic", the report finds. "This is not wholly digital working or an efficient process for transferring case information from the police to the courts."<o:p></o:p>

Despite previous recommendations by inspectors that a reliable data-sharing solution is needed for CCTV, 999 records and interviews of suspects and others, it is a "disappointment", inspectors say, "to find this has yet to be established".<o:p></o:p>

As a result, computer discs containing evidence still have to be physically sent to the CPS and many are lost, they say. "It was of concern to learn that a widespread issue existed, concerning the misplacing of discs by the CPS."<o:p></o:p>

Other problems include a limit on the size of data that can be transferred across the system, "having a negative impact on the transfer of police data to the CPS".<o:p></o:p>

There is difficulty in sending papers digitally to defence representatives. "Commonly the CPS prints off a paper copy for the defence representatives and sends this via courier to the court." The transfer of case evidence between police and the CPS "still suffers from numerous clerical mistakes".<o:p></o:p>

I live in a local justice area that now includes a much wider spread of courts, and their old areas, than the court I was appointed to.<o:p></o:p>

One of my colleagues looked at a defendant's bail conditions, not to go to a specific postal area, and said to us "That's not possible. I know the road in question. It's a cul de sac and, to get out, they would have to cross open fields or go into the area their bail condition doesn't allow." Who would have set this? Those like me who don't know the area in question. <o:p></o:p>

What price local justice?<o:p></o:p>

As is so often the case one fell over for technical reasons, the second was withdrawn by the CPS as their chief witness, a PC, was on annual leave.

I went through the ritual of grumbling at the CPS for a mickey-mouse cock-up that both harmed justice and cost a lot of money, and since you ask, no you cannot have an adjournment. It would be unfair to be hard on the poor young prosecutor on her feet, since the mistakes were made in an office miles away.

So we set out to hear the effective trial. The Crown called their only witness, and put in a few section 9 statements (i.e. unchallenged ones) and it was time for the defence. The solicitor rose to his feet and announced that his client would not be giving evidence (as was his right) so that was the case for the defence. As we retired we each assumed that the Crown would win, since the defendant declined to say anything in his own defence, but as we went methodically through what we had heard, and compared our notes, we decided that the prosecution was full of holes and that we could not safely convict. We trooped back in and I solemnly announced our findings to a rather surprised courtroom. So that was the end of that.

According to some reports the local authority gave permission for stunt driving on public roads, in Central London including screaming power slides and spins. Top Gear has access to a disused airfield at Dunsfold in Surrey, which leaves even less excuse for using the highway.

The cringing deference that too many in authority show towards famous stars when cameras appear is distantly redolent of the Savile case when fame caused people to suspend their judgment of a serial offender.

Quite apart from the extraordinary driving (skilled as the drivers may be) that would count as Dangerous Driving in any court, I very much doubt whether the souped-up machines featured would pass the Construction and Use regulations. Finally, some film that I have seen shows a car sliding perilously close to un- marshalled spectators: something that would never be allowed in a properly organised motorsport event.

My list featured three trials this morning and one in the afternoon. One defendant simply did not appear, so we issued a warrant without bail to get him in. In the next the defence put in a late Defence Case Statement that changed the whole basis of the defence, so in all fairness we had to allow an adjournment to give the prosecutor a chance to have a think about it. Two down, one to go.
Number three was actually effective:- a Domestic Violence case that turned on a row that ensued when the ex-boyfriend of the victim (and the father of her daughter) rang her up. The volume of threats increased and the victim rang the police. Lover boy threw the phone either to her or at her, and grabbed her, as he claimed, so that he could get past her to leave. The whole business came down to he-said/she-said, and we concluded that we could not convict beyond reasonable doubt. The protagonists left hand in hand, leaving me in little doubt that we shall see them again.

This afternoon's case was, incredibly, a simple possession of Class B but the papers hadn't been copied, and the CPS copier was hors de combat while there was a queue for the one upstairs in the office. We put the case off and called it a day, when I was happy to get my car heater blasting hot air, as the courtroom and retiring area were freezing. Oh yes, and the coffee machine has vanished, and we now have a cheapo kettle and sundry jars of instant coffee for our comfort.Bystander Teamhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-10640660033485247252016-03-04T19:19:00.000+00:002016-03-04T19:19:07.435+00:00Happy ChappyI wrote a few weeks back about a friend who was breathalysed at Christmas, and decided to run a Special Reasons argument that would allow the court not to disqualify him if the Bench agreed.

I spent last Friday night in the A & E department of a big hospital (think Jimmy Savile). There was nothing too bad wrong with me, but I am at the age where medics like to run the full range of tests just to be sure. Not too far round the corner from my cubicle was a group of apparently drunken young men, who were hurling foul mouthed abuse at hospital staff, ripe with indignant profanity. By about 11 p..m. police arrived from time to time, but the noise continued unabated. I asked the nurse who was taking a blood sample if this was a usual event and he said that it was about the norm for a Friday night.

I have always regarded misbehaviour in and near hospitals as seriously aggravated offences, for reasons that do not need to be spelt out, but this opened my eyes to the reality that hospital staff can face.

Very nasty.Bystander Teamhttp://email@example.com

Skip to comments.Obama Honors Pearl Harbor Dead with Picture of Himself
Posted on 12/08/2013 3:03:25 PM PST by Nachum
President Barack Obamas Facebook page on Saturday posted a message honoring the dead from Pearl Harboraccompanied by a picture of Obama descending the stairs next to the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
The picture barely fits the name of the Arizona Memorial so it can frame Obama in the foreground.
The post's statement reads:
Today, with solemn pride and reverence, let us remember those who fought and died at Pearl Harbor, acknowledge everyone who carried their legacy forward, and reaffirm our commitment to upholding the ideals for which they served.
President Obama
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
He should start using a blue screen and putting himself in those photographs of Pearl Harbor and other events
Agreed, but it will get pulled.
The narcissist strikes again.
He is such a despicable, disgusting, incompetent, sociopathic narcissist.
And we chuckle at Putin's ego stroking "manly man" photos. Difference is Putin is smarter.
"Screw Obama," would be an acceptable substitute.
However, if you wish to try the language in use at the time of the Framers, the verb "to swive" would carry the same meaning. "Swive Obama" would be a fine substitute that even Ben Franklin would have appreciated.
That might be a perfect opportunity
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The president clearly has mental health issues which - as has been the case with the eligibility issues - no one in a position of authority wants to consider.
I Agree!!!
nicely done
Obviously that picture is Photoshopped.
Obama would be aiming the guns at the other ships.
wow - that was quick - thanks!
That isn't even a good picture of him!
Thanks Nachum.
When will this national nightmare end?
He's not fit to touch the the dirt where those men have walked.
And what in the H-E-double bubble is the POTUS doing with a FaceBook page? Doesn't he and his minions have anything better to do with their time?
We are paying ALL of their salaries.
Like Clinton walking alone along D-Day beach and making a cross out of pebbles that normally do not exist on that beach.
Oh well.
BTW "let us remember those who fought and died at Pearl Harbor, acknowledge everyone who carried their legacy forward, and reaffirm our commitment to upholding the ideals for which they served," would include the Japanese!
America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!
When Stalin ruled the Soviet Union, Pravda announced a design contest for a statue to honor the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin [who was biracial btw]. The sketches poured in; Pushkin on horseback, Pushkin fighting the duel that killed him, Pushkin writing, and so on, until Pravda announced the winning design:
A statue of Stalin reading a poem by Pushkin.
I guess the Arizona Memorial will soon have an heroic statue of Obama heroically saluting the roster of the fallen. Won't put it past the Anointed One.
Even better!
And the horse he rode in on. Or, more accurately in the case of his "wife", the Wookie that he rode in on.
She contributes $10,000 to an orphanage -- $10,000 worth of her singing protest songs to them.
With Obama, its ALWAYS about HIM and the media made it that way..he would never have been elected had it not been for the media who wanted this Marxist extremist in the White House, he probably would have only won Vermont had the media actually behaved like the media, instead of Pravda
just one of far too mamy inaccuracies in the film, the worst being alec baldwin as doolittle. there were no M2 .50 HMGs on ships at that time and no AA where he is standing.
Is he talking about Americans? It seems that word "American" stings his tongue.
The only thing that picture lacks is a bunch of voice
balloons coming from all those people just coming out
of the monument saying, "And DON'T come back!".
Amazing isn't it, that the man who shut down all the open-air military monuments, has the audacity to publish his photo at one of the most hallowed of those memorials?
Pearl Harbor is not about that turkey.
What A Punk.
How about putting a "Rising Sun" bandana or head band on his head?
He's the White Hut ripoff of Looter Guy, without the joyful spirit and charm.
Emphasis on looter. And ripoff.
_resident husseins facebook page on Saturday posted a message honoring the dead from Pearl Harboraccompanied by a picture of hussein descending the stairs next to the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
The picture barely fits the name of the Arizona Memorial so it can frame hussein in the foreground.
............Here is the photo:
Have hussein, moosh, valjar, et al so little understanding, or is this yet another deliberate insult to the American People?

Product Description:
Booker T. & The MG's: Booker T. Jones (keyboards); Steve Cropper (guitar); Lewie Steinberg, Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass); Al Jackson Jr. (drums).3
Compilation producers: Roger Armstrong, Colin MacKenzie, Alan Taylor, Peter Gibbon.
Includes liner notes by Rob Bowman.
Personnel: Steve Cropper (guitar); Booker T. Jones (keyboards); Al Jackson, Jr. (drums).
Liner Note Author: Rob Bowman.
Arranger: Ramsey Lewis.
Although all of these 25 cover versions were recorded in the '60s, none of them were released at the time. Unfortunately, info as to the exact dates of the individual tracks has been lost, though Stax scholar Rob Bowman's liner notes figure that most of them were cut between 1965-1968, with some possibly dating from 1962-1964. Putting all of them onto a single disc decades later might seem like a vault-cleaning exercise of secondary material. But this turns out to be a surprisingly good and vibrant collection of instrumental soul interpretations of rock, soul, and pop hits of the '60s, even if it's not up to the level of Booker T. & the MG's more famous hits and original numbers. Even though these were often laid down quickly before or after sessions on which the band was backing other artists, most of these don't sound like throwaways. They're characteristically disciplined and imaginative, and the scope is remarkably wide, taking in Beatles songs, blues ("Wang Dang Doodle" and "Baby Scratch My Back"), Motown, straight pop ("Downtown"), and even some songs on which Booker T. & the MG's actually played on the original recordings (Sam & Dave's "Soul Man" and "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby," and Eddie Floyd's "On a Saturday Night"). Not all of the reworkings are top-notch; the Beatles' "You Can't Do That" is taken at a jazzy shuffle that doesn't suit the tune. But most of them are very good, and not straight copies of the original arrangements, with the band effectively cooking up different tempos and simmering guitar/organ interplay. ~ Richie Unterberger

Overall Experience:
you get what you put into your education
Overall Experience:
It was a great experience, on hands participation with in the tour which I like the most. All teachers and volunteer students gave us presentations that were very clear and broad to better understand what I was getting into.. I also like the fact that school is small which will help much to interact with teachers and other excisting students. I feel that this is going to be an adventure and a challenging experience which will make me more of a strong candidate for future employments with in the filming/production industry. Adding to this last statement, it is a school that interacts with big filming and production companies, that will also help to set me up for innership purposes and gain experience.. And I would apply again if I had to choose all over again.Best Regards!Jennifer Juarez
Campus Housing:
It is nice to live in an apartment
Off-Campus Housing:
It is better to get a roommate.
Party Scene:
People throw a lot of house parties at the dorms and everyone from the school comes by to hang out and party.
Applying for Financial Aid was a very easy process. The financial aid office made the process very simple and easy. They were very hands on to make sure everyone did everything correctly.
Local Area:
You are ten minutes from the beach, an hour from snowy mountains, five hours from Las Vegas, there is DisneyLand, Universal Studios Hollywood, baseball games, basketball games, and hockey games all within a thirty mile radius. The atmosphere here and around the school is great.
The local weather is sunny all day everyday and doesnt affect the campus unless someone wanted to shoot a rain scene.
Greek Life:
There isn't any Greeks on campus.
The school has a very diverse background of students from all different areas and walks of life. They have students that are from as far as Bangladesh and Korea and as close as Los Angeles. No one at the school is looked at differently for their beliefs or the way they carry themselves. It is a huge family.
Party Scene:
Loser central. I don't think they'd know how to throw a party if a YouTube video hit them in the head and Epic Meal time pop'd out to show them. Its a craft school, students that go to CCH usually are busy making films and when they're not, I don't know what they are doing.There is NO sense of community at the school, at least for myself. Its saddening.
Its the old Panavision building, so they had a nice sized parking lot for there employees, when CCH took over the lot, they purchased the lot next door which was a parking lot so students could safely park in the back of the facility. One of the few smart moves on the schools part. If you stay in the OVERPRICED student housing options, you can easily walk to school or take the shuttle that comes 30-40mins prior to your class period.No tickets or fines. Security guard on duty before and after school hours so no need to worry about the safety of your vehicle. There are also cameras so your extra "safe."
Guys & Girls:
Its a film school, you'll find all sorts of looks and personalities, usually that reflect of the genre there most interested in."I didn't go to film school to rate my peers looks and physical characteristics, I went to film school to be apart of a creative force behind positive aw inspiring films and movements that have encourage community, friendship, and living a free positive lifestyle. So to "GRADE" my peers just seems disrespectful to there character." On that note, I can make the comment that. "If you see a hot girl on campus, she's probably there for a casting call." Due to the fact that the film business is dominantly male driven, so is the school. There isn't a lot of female options and they're usually swiped up quickly if they are "good looking."
Students who live in school housing are able to take a shuttle directly from their residence to the school. Public transportation is also available to other students.
The application process was very simple. If I remember correctly I needed two refernce letters, and entry essay, a resume, and official transcripts. Obtaining the transcripts from the few schools I have attended was the most difficult and time consuming part. Once all requirements have been met the prospective student interviews with a school counselor and will let them know if they have been accepted or not. Pleae note: this process may have changed since my admission.
I love the fact that all the computers and software are comprable to the current industry standard
Off-Campus Dining:
With CCH being so close to Ventura Blvd, you're never far from anything you want to eat; whether it is fast food, coffee and pastries or ethnic cuisine.
Top Quality and they strive for the best or get us the best
Teacher's are top notch, the newer instructors aren't always the right fit for that particular class.
I have not had an internship yet but there is a big department dedicated to helping students find one and there is a bulletin board full of open spots. They are usually credit only but are an invaluable experience.
Most campus housing is within walking distance and for the one that is not there is a free shuttle to take you back and forth. Sometimes you have to wait a while but it is there.
Campus Quality:
Columbia College's facilities are excellent, while there facilities aren't huge, they are constantly expanding and are almost obsessive on keeping up to date and to the industry standard. The goal is to keep the College to Studio Transitional learning curve down and they seem to do a very good job at it.
The School is literally right across the street from the Metro, and if you don't have a car to get to school, there is a shuttle that picks up students on a daily schedule.
Guys & Girls:
Guys and Girls come from all over the U.S and the World, it is a very diverse group of students and every guy and girl has at least one thing in common, so that's a great way to start up a conversation/relationship. Hang around in the lobby all day and you'll run across a wide range of interesting people, and make some unique friends.
Campus Housing:
Several safe and secure apartment complexes are available close to campus, and the school housing office assists (and recommends) comfortable rental units to students. They also have a relationship with apartment rental offices in the area.
