Project Runway Returns to New York for Season Seven
The original fashion game show comes home.
Yes, folks, after a lazy season under the California sun, Project Runway has left Hollywood, returning to its proper home in the Big Grimy. The jump from Bravo to Lifetime dulled down some of the show's bite, but it was really the L.A. vacation that made Project's last go-around seem a bit too breezy. Well, no more of that. Stress levels will return to the high-fashion industry norm when Klum, Gunn, and Co. roll out the new season January 14. And just who is vying for fame and riches this time? We've already scoped out the resident "Bro," Seth Aaron Henderson of San Diego; the adorable Ping Woo from China; and 21-year-old South Bronx resident Maya Luz (she's a part-time D.J., just like you!). So far, no magical creatures on the Siriano level — or raving sociopaths — stick out from the available previews, but we're sure by episode three we'll have sniffed them out.

No, this isn't The Onion. Or an ad from a marijuana advocacy group. The New York Times posted a controversial story this week citing a large government study that found that regularly smoking pot—one joint a day—over a period of 20 years didn't impair lung function. Researchers with the National Institutes of Health followed over 5,000 stoners, er, subjects, in four U.S. cities starting around the age of 25.
Crossfit mimics how we move in everyday life. Humans use multiple muscles to move; we engage our quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, and core to walk, pick up groceries, and get off the couch, even to get out of bed. How often do you find yourself bicep curling the milk to put it away or attempt to move your furniture laying on your back pushing with your legs? Crossfit is about creating usable strength, not just glamour muscles.

Nintendo gives gamers a Wii bit of exercise
Video games have come a long way since the 1980s.
Back then, the old Atari 2600 offered games like Combat, Asteroids and Pac Man. For the time, those games were the cutting edge of technology.
Oh, how times have changed.
Nowadays, the video game industry is booming. But it's not just a joystick, a chair and a television anymore. Not even close, thanks in large part to the development of the Nintendo Wii gaming system.
The Nintendo Wii is revolutionary in the fact that it not only lets people play games with a joystick, but also gets gamers off the couch and on their feet.
"It's very cool, especially in a party setting," said Federal Way gamer Sean Thomas, who owns a Wii, along with other gaming systems. "Everything has gotten pretty good reviews."
Nintendo markets the video game system as exercise. In addition to the game unit's motion-sensitive controllers, the system also comes with Wii Sports, a five-games-in-one software package that really highlights the Wii's technology.
The Wii Sports package includes tennis, golf, baseball, boxing and bowling games, where players use the remote control like they are actually playing the game.
But Nintendo took the video game exercise craze to another level last month with the release of Wii Fit. The $90 add-on for the popular Nintendo Wii game console offers a wireless balance board and on-screen yoga, strength training and aerobics, along with balance games such as snowboarding and tightrope walking.
"The consumer response to Wii Fit was ex-ceptional," said Denise Kaigler, a Nintendo spokeswoman.
Wii Fit was released on May 21 in the United States and was released in Japan last year, where it has already sold 2 million units. The package is also selling like crazy here. The Game Crazy store in Federal Way is currently sold out of the Wii Fit bundles after customers pre-ordered all the copies the store received last month.
The Wii Fit package comes with the pressure-sensitive balancing board that connects to an existing Wii console. The board, which resembles a bathroom scale, calculates body mass index (BMI), then gives a personalized weight-loss (or weight-gain) plan to help a person attain an ideal BMI. There are more than 40 types of training activities, including muscle conditioning, quick cardio and balance games, such as snowboarding or skiing through a slalom course.
The health benefit of the Wii gaming system is even spawning plenty of research. Justin White, a student at Canada's Dalhousie University, is currently conducting an experiment about the effects of video games as exercise.
"I was playing Wii boxing with a friend and noticed how exerting it was," said the fourth-year kinesiology student. "I thought to myself, 'I'm working up a sweat doing this Nintendo thing; I might run with that.' So I put together an outline and the class thought it would be a good project to take on."
It was the boxing game that White and 27 of his fellow classmates tested against more traditional forms of exercise — a walk in a park and a "boxercise" video workout.
Every student participated in each activity for 30 minutes as their classmates measured heart rates and levels of perceived exertion – how hard the participants thought they were working out.
It seems that while the Wii's boxing game isn't vigorous enough to provide a comprehensive cardiovascular workout, it can play a role in maintaining or losing body weight, especially for someone starting from a lower level of fitness, according to White's study.
"If they're looking for cardiovascular fitness, I'd advise them to do something else because it's really not intense enough," White said. "But if they're just looking to lose weight, it's a good way to get started. It can also be a gateway to other things, and may get people interested in the actual sports themselves too."
But the study does think there is immense potential in the get-off-the-couch phenomenon the Wii has begun.
"Just look at some of the other things that have been happening over the past 10-12 years with video games in learning for kids," White said. "There are so many computer games for math, spelling, language skills – all of these things that used to be taught using books are now becoming interactive. The same thing could easily happen with exercise."
All you have to do is look how far the video game industry has come since the days of Combat, Asteroids and Pac Man.

In a couple of weeks, four-star linebacker Danny Mattingly (Mead HS) will be visiting the University of Nebraska.
The Washington native, who has picked up over a dozen Division I offers, is looking forward to seeing the football-crazed town of Lincoln.
"I can't wait to see what the town is like and to get to see the program," explained Mattingly. "I know their football is huge and they don't have a pro team to compete with."
In addition, Mattingly has heard some good things from some fellow high school prospects at camps around the country regarding the Cornhuskers' personnel.
"I hear the players and coaches are awesome," added the 6-foot-6, 225-pound recruit.
While Nebraska is on his schedule of upcoming visits, he will be visiting Notre Dame this Tuesday and then Oklahoma later in the week.

Kuwait's Ruler Visits Iran in Latest Sign of Regional Thaw
Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah arrived in Iran for a state visit, in the latest sign of improved ties between the Islamic republic and Gulf Arab neighbors since President Hassan Rouhani took office last year.
The emir is accompanied by Kuwait's ministers for foreign affairs, finance, oil and trade during the two-day visit, Iran's state-run Islamic Republic News Agency reported earlier today. He is the second ruler in the six-member, Sunni-ruled Gulf Cooperation Council to travel to Iran since Rouhani became president in August. The first was Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al-Said of Oman.
The visit comes after Saudi Arabia, the GCC's biggest country, said last month it was ready to engage in talks with Shiite-ruled Iran to achieve regional stability. Rouhani has pledged to mend ties with GCC countries wary of Iran's nuclear program. They also accuse Iran of encouraging Shiites in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Yemen to revolt against Sunni rulers.
"The GCC states and Iran have to acknowledge the influence of each other," Sami al-Faraj, head of Kuwait Center for Strategic Studies, said in a phone interview. "We are not against Iran's influence in the region if it's constructive."
The Islamic republic denies that it interferes in the domestic affairs of its neighbors and has repeatedly said that its nuclear program is peaceful.
Ties between GCC countries and Iran worsened after the 1979 Islamic revolution, which toppled the pro-U.S. shah. Kuwait and Saudi Arabia supported Iraq during its war with Iran in the 1980s. A prolonged civil war in Syria has also become a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

We continue our countdown of the top 12 Sherlock Holmes stories. (See: Part One and Part Two.)
3) The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902): It's no wonder that Sherlock Holmes' third novel is the most often adapted Sherlock Holmes story. It's rich with atmosphere with its setting on the moor. It also has some genuinely scary moments with the menace of the titular hound as well as some great elements that add suspense such as the escaped convict. If the story suffers at all, it's from the fact that Sherlock Holmes is off stage for much of the story. But this really gives Watson a chance to shine as both an observer and a man of action.
2) The Adventure The Red Headed League (1890) This is a good concept that comes with a built in moral. A man gets paid a fantastic salary by the Red Headed League for copying pages from the encyclopedia because he has an amazing head of red hair. However, the Red Headed League disappears as quickly as it appeared sending the confused shopkeeper to Holmes.
There are two things that are really fascinating about this story. The first is the idea of a superior intelligence preying on people's greed and stupidity to victimize another person. This would be revisited (albeit without as much success) in "The Stockbroker's Clerk" and "The Three Garidebs." The second thing is just seeing how Holmes puts this whole case together. It's one of his finest pieces of deduction as Holmes faces a worthy and underrated foe.
1) The Sign of Four (1890): This is one of the best mystery novels of all time. The Sign of Four has so much working for it. It's a book that was decades ahead of its time. The Penguins Classic edition of this book is only 160 pages. However, it's tightly written and manages to work so much in. You have a great puzzle mystery, combined with creepy and memorable characters, a fast-paced quick moving story, and even a good action and chase scene. It includes a flashback to the past that reveals what happened in backstory but unlike in A Study in Scarlet, the flashback section is interesting and doesn't drag on forever.
This story works on so many levels, particularly when you consider how dry and one dimensional detective fiction was for decades after that. While the Sign of Four is often overshadowed by The Hound of the Baskervilles, from my point of view, The Sign of Four is the better novel. The Sign of Four was decades ahead of its time. Decades after The Sign of Four, most mystery novels were rather one dimensional puzzle mysteries but The Sign of Four showcases everything a good mystery novel can be and that it was written in the 19th century is a testimony to Doyle's genius.
That concludes my list. I'd love to hear about yours. Please share about your favorite Holmes stories in the comments.

We continue our countdown of the top 12 Sherlock Holmes stories. (See: Part One.)
7) The Scandal in Bohemia (1891)
A case that Holmes was mastered in. It's a clever and satisfying story about Holmes attempt to obtain incriminating leters and a photograph that could compromise the King of Bohemia and his upcoming wedding. The story plays off of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Purloined Letter" but takes the story in a different direction. The result is a very bold short story, particularly as a choice to lead off the first Sherlock Holmes short story collection.
6) The Adventure of the Six Napoleons (1904)
This is a story that illustrates what sets Sherlock Holmes apart from the Scotland Yard. It's not just that he finds the right answers. It's that he asks the right questions. When a series of burglaries occur involving busts of Napoleon, Scotland Yard concludes that its the work of a monomaniac and sets about finding him but Holmes sees the puzzle of why he's smashing the busts to be an open question and that leads to a different investigation. Also, I really like the tribute Inspector Lestrade pays to Holmes at the end of the story. It says a lot about Holmes and how his relationship has develop with Scotland Yard over the prior two decades.
5) The Speckled Band (1892)
This was actually Doyle's favorite of his stories and there's plenty of iconic moments. The mystery and the solution to it are the stuff of nightmares. It's a story with a lot of suspense and a thrilling conclusion. I also love Dr. Grimesby Roylott's take on Holmes, "Holmes the meddler. Holmes the busybody. Holmes the Scotland Yard Jack-in-office." It's a classic scene of a man trying in vain to deflect Sherlock Holmes with invective and antics. Roylott makes for a fantastic villain and that makes this a particularly enjoyable read.
4) The Silver Blaze (1892)
Sherlock Holmes' search for a missing race horse seems seems a simple enough problem at first with a mysterious stranger having been seen in the area on the night the horse disappeared, and its trainer was killed. The solution is far different than we imagined and is extremely clever. This is a wonderfully constructed mystery and was the only Holmes story cited by Father Brown creator G.K. Chesterton in his essay on how to write detective fiction. This is also a story where Holmes solves the case with a nice dramatic flourish, withholding the solution to Watson, the owner, and Inspector Gregory until the day of the big race.
If you enjoyed this post, you can have new posts about Detective stories and the golden age of radio and television delivered automatically to your Kindle.
The Sherlock Holmes stories are remarkable. While there have been some innovators in the detective genre in past 90 years or so that have added new wrinkles and and twists to the genre, Doyle's work stands up as must-read for serious mystery fans.
There were countless genius detectives solving crimes, but none are loved or revered like Sherlock Holmes. While there were a few stories that didn't work and some people read struggle with the Victorian setting, the Sherlock Holmes canon of fifty-six short stories and four novels has stood the test of time remarkably well. Which of them are the best?
Over the next three weeks, I'll post my list of the top twelve Sherlock Holmes' stories:
12) The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle (1892):
This is one of the definitive holiday detective stories. This murderless mystery is a great puzzle that begins simply enough after a man lost his hat and a Christmas goose. It really starts with what seems like an incident that seems like it should be beneath the notice of the great Sherlock Holmes but is really a fascinating puzzle. Doyle shows that while some mysteries involve sensational or salacious details, it's not always necessary. I also love how the ending is both consistent with Holmes' character and appropriate for the spirit of the Season.
11) The Devil's Foot (1910):
The story tells of Holmes and Watson visiting Cornwall for a rest. However, Holmes is pulled into investigating a mysterious death and insanity that afflicted a family. It is a haunting and chilling story that manages to merge the right elements of horror and the detective story. Great atmosphere throughout and a satisfying resolution makes this a winning story.
10) The Empty House (1903)
Sherlock Holmes was a character not even his creator could kill off. The "Empty House" is a wonderful story that tells us what really happened when Holmes faced Moriarty in, "The Final Problem" and then sets Holmes against the deadly Colonel Sebastian Moran. This was a great story to welcome Sherlock Holmes back to literary life.
9) The Adventure of the Naval Treaty (1893):
A truly engaging mystery. It manages to have major stakes with British national security, while also present a more personal problem for a young diplomat for whom the disappearance of this treaty has cast a shadow over his career. The story is engaging with some great clues, a great conclusion, and Holmes wrapping it all up with a theatrical flourish.
8) The Problem of Thor Bridge (1922)
This story of a seemingly sweet and benevolent governess facing a charge for murder is one of the best of the later Sherlock Holmes stories. The "Problem of Thor Bridge" is engaging and the solution is classic. While many 1920s Holmes stories are disliked by fans and critics alike, this one is a true gem.

Nissan Murano owners have reported 162 problems related to electrical system (under the electrical system category).
Driving car lost power and came to a stop ,had to have it tow because it wouldn't stay running.

2 safety issues: (a) passenger side seatbelt functioned fine when we got out of the car and upon return, we were unable to pull the belt out to fasten. It was locked within its 'roll-up' area.

Passenger seat switch that controls air bag would turn off airbag with an adult in the seat . Had recall work done at the dealer I purchased the vehicle from new after work was done dash light say passenger air bag of with no one in seat and stays on all the time . It does go out with an adult in the seat . My complaint is this is a temporary fix at best this is not how this is designed to work what happens when dash light burns out ? no other vehicle I own works this way if there is a problem with the position of the switch in the seat it should be repaired or replaced for free I did not buy this car thinking that Nissan would not stand behind its product a defect is a defect fix it properly.

Took vehicle in for repairs for oil leaks, lights, trunk release, vehicle running like a truck, a/c, radio,transmission and camera display in car. Was told trunk release , motor, and transmission problems, and lighting couldn't be duplicated. The same day I picked up my vehicle turn vehicle off close the drivers door and head and rear lights shut off, close my trunk and again head and rear lights went off. Took vehicle to another dealer and showed the service advisor my concerns informed me a dianogstic test would cost $270 if couldn't find anything wrong, and I couldn't be take home because it was over 10 miles, and advisor suggested taking car closer to where I lived. Showed him and told him my concerns: foot pedal switch works sometimes, seat operates sometime, the smell from exhaust has a very bad smell, a/c works sometime while driving and doesn't blow cold at all while idol, and sun visor keep falling down lower causing you to not see. .

My vehicle was in motion on the highway going about 50mph, when suddenly traffic came to a halt, when I pushed on the accelerator, there seem to be loss power and acceleration which is very dangerous, I had my 3 kids and grandchild in the vehicle with me. As I pushed the accelerator to the floor nothing happened the car wouldn't move, good thing a semi-truck wasn't behind me, we all would have been dead. This is scared me and my family. After waiting about 2 or more minutes the car junked and lunged at a high speed I could have ran into the back of another vehicle. This is beginning to happen more frequent now maybe 3-4 days or more out the week. Stalling and loss of power (no response) while in traffic; is in deed a big factor to have this matter looked into. I've seen numerous complaints regarding the same incident my family and I experienced. There should be a recall regarding this matter. In addition, to that the actuators on both passenger doors (front and back) doesn't work, it has to be locked manually. Also, the hatch lock doesn't lock the handle gets stuck.

"takata recall" NHTSA campaign number: 05v319000 I experienced the exact same issue described in the campaign number above. I called the pischke motors Nissan in lacrosse wisconsin about the problem. They simply told me that there was no recall regarding that issue. They said that my Murano was made after that recall was addressed however, as mentioned, I'am seeing the exact same problem. The vehicle was in a parking lot in motion when it failed.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Murano. While the cruise control was activated, the contact increased the speed using the cruise control speed gauge; however, due to the vehicle's forward collision avoidance system, it failed to function. Once the forward collision avoidance system was disengaged, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration.

While exiting a parking space at a low speed (less than 10 mph) the car unexpectedly accelerated to full throttle. Braking would not hold it and my car ran into another vehicle after traveling 5-15 yards, pushing it up on a sidewalk before stopping. Both cars total loss due to bent frame/rails.

While I was driving I stopped at a restaurant and when I tried to roll my windows down, the power locks, windows, alarm, seat adjuster, brake pedal/accelerator, rear hatch stopped working. No power to the main window switch panel. Just stopped working one day.

While driving the power locks, windows, seat adjuster, alarm and lift gate stopped working. No power to the main window/lock switch on the drivers side.
My back driver side door would not unlock or lock this morning. It was working fine yesterday afternoon. I tried to unlock from the inside and appears that the lock button is not working as it should. I cannot open the door at all from outside or inside. I only use the key itself and unlock or lock doors with the panel buttons.
All occurrences took place when vehicle was stationary. I bought the vehicle less than two weeks ago, used, from the previous owner who had it for nine years. She supposedly kept up with all the maintenance and appears to have taken real good care of it. Everything was fine until about three days ago when on a couple of occasions I parked and locked the vehicle and came back hours later to discover the front windows were down about 3 inches. . . Weird. So when I got to work this morning I engaged the window lock button. Then this afternoon I came out after work to discover the windows were both all the way down. I drove home and parked in the garage and rolled up the windows and left the key in the console. An hour later, got ready to leave and the windows were back down, and doors were locked. I reached in and unlocked the door, and when I opened it the alarm went off! OH, forgot to mention that the key fob doesn't work, in spite of replacing the battery this week, so the panic button doesn't work. Got in and started the engine and the alarm is still going off!! put it into gear and back into park and it's still going off. Got out and headed into the house (keys in hand this time) and the alarm randomly stopped. . . Hmm. Okay, so I went back around and opened the door (thinking I could leave now) and the alarm started sounding again. . . What the heck!.
Drivers door does not lock and unlock. Bad door lock actuator mechanisms. $400-$600 to fix per door. Major safety hazard!!!!.
My 2004 Murano had a lot of stalling and stopping, problems with accelerating the car. It stop on multiple occasions. Fluid leaking, from engine and fuel tank, and steering column. Power steering is rigid,and locks, and car stops when turning. The windows went up and down uncontrollable. Power control panel , did not function. Nissan insisted that vehicle is old. I think the car is possessed. All of theses things occurred while I was in motion driving the car on highway, the roads, stationery, and especially turning, and trying to accelerate the car, and it would then completely turn off, Nissan refuses to acknowledge any thing is wrong. They stated what do you expect after buying a car this old. I just want to make sure my car is safe by your standards not theirs. After receiving my car from Nissan it was even worse, I brought the same issues to them after paying $5200 of what they said were repairs. Thanks.
While driving the automobile made a low buzzing sound and immediately stopped moving. All power was lost. I was not able to steer the automobile, the dashboard lights and radio still on and working. I engaged the accelerator once and the auto accelerated and all power was lost again, this time completely. I had it towed to my regular Nissan dealership for diagnosis and repair. Diagnosis: battery needs to be replaced. The battery was replaced and I drove the car home and to work the next day. While on my way from work, the exact problem occurred again. I had it towed to autonation Nissan again and as I type this complaint the dealership is trying to arrive at the proper diagnosis. I am all of a sudden in fear for my life, had I been on the expressway (I-95, sr-826, FL turnpike, etc. I could have been killed with these two sudden stops if I had been rear-ended. I am the only driver of this automobile. It is in otherwise excellent condition. I have never had this problem before. Only constant issues with "tire sensors" even though I have had them replaced.
All 4 of my door lock actuators have gone out at the same time.
Takata recall, airbag on passager side indcator light on, tire light and tire slow leak.
When locking door with remote control,the drivers door does not lock.
I was driving out of my driveway, when the car stalled and hesitated. I saw the battery light and the brake light come on, so I drove the car slowly down the street in front of my apartment, and parked it there. I later read that this was common on Nissan Muranos, model years 2003 through 2007, and a recall campaign, 05v319000 was started.
I am the original owner of my 5 year old car. It has low mileage and has been regularly maintained. My fuel gauge and mile range indicator are no longer accurate or in sync. They both fluctuate erratically. I can leave my driveway and go to the end of my street (9 houses) and lose 20 miles according to the indicator. On the other hand, I have driven 125 miles and end up with more gas than when I started. It has been taken to the dealership 3x where they have changed sensors etc. To fix this. I contacted Nissan America who had one of their engineers contact the dealership. Nissan's final decision is that it is a characteristic of the car and they would do nothing more. I have many concerns about this decision. It isn't easy estimating what I have in my tank when both gauges are incorrect. It is stressful and dangerous especially when taking longer trips. I am a single woman and am in my car, driving alone, most of the time. What if I am in the middle of traffic and because of the misreadings, I run out of gas? what does this do to the re-sale value of my $35,000. 00 car? if this is a characteristic of my car, why wasn't I told about it when I bought it? this is more of a flaw than a characteristic. How many other Nissan owners out there with this same problem? I find Nissan"s final decision unacceptable and that is why I am contacting you. I'd like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration concerning this matter.

The clover in our clover honey include white Dutch clover, white blossom clover, and yellow blossom clover. Clover honey has a sweet, flowery flavor and a pleasing mild taste.

I put a tablespoon of raw crystallized honey on a slice of wheat toast every morning. In addition to having a dozen proven health benefits and a hundred more unproven ones (keeping my fingers crossed for seasonal allergy relief!), I have to say I definitely prefer the taste and texture of crystallized honey to the pasteurized grocery store honey I've had for years. Will order again in the future.

Superb clover honey
My grandfather was a beekeeper, so I was privileged to grow up eating raw clover honey. For the past couple of years, I had been using Agave nectar to sweeten my coffee (and other things) as the glycemic index is only 15. Well I decided to look at honey, and it turns out that raw honey only has a glycemic index of 30. I had ordered honey candy from eBeeHoney previously, so when I looked here I found that they offer 5 pound containers of raw clover honey. As raw honey does, it has begun to crystallize, but that doesn't matter a whit, it still works and tastes the same and is an indication that the honey is indeed "raw". The wide mouth container is wonderfully handy for scooping out the honey. The honey is light in color and taste and has a nice flavor, light and subtle. Absolutely superb honey and I will DEFINITELY be back for more of this, as well as the honey candy! Absolutely outstanding prouducts, eBeeHoney!!!

JOHANNESBURG — President Barack Obama shook hands with Cuban President Raul Castro Tuesday at a memorial service for Nelson Mandela, a simple gesture that stoked talk of a possible rapprochement between the leaders of two Cold War foes.
The brief encounter between the U.S. and Cuban president came during a ceremony that celebrated the former South African president's legacy of reconciliation. Obama was greeting a line of world leaders attending the memorial in Johannesburg before delivering his own eulogy in which he urged a new generation to embrace Mandela's life work as their own.
More than half a century after the U.S. cut off diplomatic relations with Cuba, such exchanges between American and Cuban leaders are exceedingly rare. U.S. officials often have gone to great lengths to avoid having presidents meet Cuban leaders, even in passing.
In fact, when former Cuban President Fidel Castro, who led the nation for nearly half a century, shook hands with former President Bill Clinton at a U.N. Millennium Summit luncheon in 2000, he said Clinton had been the first U.S. president to do so.
Despite Tuesday's handshake, Obama still offered an implicit criticism of governments like Cuba's when moments later, he said that too many people embrace Mandela's legacy of racial reconciliation but passionately resist economic and other reforms.
"There are too many who claim solidarity with Madiba's struggle for freedom but do not tolerate dissent from their own people," Obama said, referring to Mandela by his clan name.
Making his way to the podium for his speech, Obama also greeted Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff with a kiss on the cheek. Rousseff and Obama have clashed over reports the National Security Agency monitored her communications, leading the Brazilian leader to shelve a state trip to the U.S. earlier this year in a show of anger.
The U.S. and Cuba have recently taken small steps toward political reconciliation, raising hopes that Washington and Havana could be on the verge of a breakthrough. But skeptics caution the two countries have shown subtle signs of thaw in the past, only to fall back into old recriminations.
In 2009, Obama made waves when he shook hands with the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, a strident critic of the United States, at the Summit of the Americas.

The reason we should listen to montel is that he is a canary the coal mine. He's verbalizing what we all suspect but don't want to admit and that is white people in this country have a target on their back and it's just fine with non-White's. Bounce Montel's comments off the concept of White privilege, the comments over the weekend by Mark Giffard, Fareed Zakaria, etc and the trend and intent is clear. It's always been in the shadows but it's out in the open now.

Hillbilly = White White uprising requires use of force by police. Black criminal activity requires stand down by police. Calling a black person a name is a hate crime. Dragging a white person out of their car and beating them is an understandable reaction to white oppression. Enough is enough.

Your stats are fabricated. You are categorically wrong in your assessment. if you are interested in knowing the truth start by googling John Lotz. If you're not interested in the truth just FO.

Sanofi's decision last week to cut the price of its colon cancer drug Zaltrap by up to 50% showed that the US market is no longer immune to European-style drug price pressure. Never mind that the move was partly a result of a messed-up calculation on Sanofi's part: this was a defining moment in the evolution of America's troubled health care system. That the price of a drug was cut at all, and voluntarily (albeit under pressure), is notable enough: prices usually go up, especially in the US. But the size of the cut (deeper than almost all of the discounts squeezed out of pharma by European cost-watchdogs' rule-dominated systems), and the fact that we're talking about a drug for cancer (until recently among the most price-protected TAs) that's, technically at least, an NME, is even more remarkable. Zaltrap's high price of $9-11,000 per month, its questionable efficacy (extending overall survival by just 1.5 months) and safety concerns such as a boxed warnings over fatal GI bleeding were what prompted leading cancer specialists at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center to boycott the treatment. The MSKCC scientists were behaving just like an EU-style health technology assessment agency: they were in effect importing the spirit, if not the institution, of a NICE-like hurdle to the US. (There's no way, incidentally, that Zaltrap...Learn More
Last week, England & Wales' cost-watchdog NICE approved reimbursement for two drugs for advanced melanoma, Roche's Zelboraf and Bristol's Yervoy. As is so often the case at NICE, both drugs had initially been rejected, and both in the end came through with confidential discounts to the list-price. But this isn't just a story about discounting, nor is it just about the UK. Everyone knows that winning reimbursement in England & Wales boils down to math – math that culminates in a controversial cost-per-quality-adjusted life year (QALY) figure that has to be below a threshold of £30,000 usually or £50,000 for 'end-of-life' treatments such as Yervoy and Zelboraf. What's less well known is that the oft-criticized QALY is gaining traction among cost-pressured US payers too (as well as in other markets such as France). According to a 2012 oncology survey by Reimbursement Intelligence, almost half (45%) of US payers, (mostly large ones) view assessment of QALY as a viable model for the US health care system. Given this could soon be relevant in the world's largest market, too, what were the most important variables playing into the reimbursement arithmetic for Yervoy and Zelboraf? Several UK headlines suggested that for both drugs, it was discounting that made the numbers work. That's true of Yervoy, but not...Learn More
Actelion pulled out all the stops in designing the Phase III trial of its pulmonary arterial hypertension drug Opsumit (macitentan), filed at FDA on Oct 22. And no wonder: the biotech's future depends on it, as its own top-selling PAH treatment Tracleer faces patent expiry in 2015. But Opsumit's regulatory and reimbursement path should also interest any other drug developer seeking to test what kinds of data payers require in order to prioritize a next-in-class therapy that's likely to be somewhat –but not necessarily hugely — better and safer than existing, soon-to-be-much-cheaper treatments. Opsumit treats a rare, but not ultra-niche condition. It has orphan status, but is a follow-on drug (albeit a highly optimized one) in an increasingly competitive, and genericizing, segment. Phase III data strongly suggest this dual endothelin receptor antagonist has dosing, safety and efficacy advantages over existing PAH treatments. Can Longer-Term Outcomes Data Replace Head-to-Head? But Actelion didn't pit Opsumit directly against Tracleer or Gilead's Letairis, the one-two of PAH, for familiar reasons – not least because to adequately power the research, it would have required conducting a large (e.g 5000-patient) and expensive trial. Instead, it designed a trial that was much longer, and with more outcomes-focused endpoints, than any other PAH study. The placebo-controlled SERAPHIN trial,...Learn More
"Personalized health care requires a new reimbursement model," declared Roche's VP Global Pricing & Market Access Jens Grueger in the elegant London county hall debating chamber on Monday, at the Office of Health Economics (OHE)-sponsored gathering of payers, pharma and economists. The venue was appropriate. Debate centered around whether the move towards more personalized medicine could reasonably support more personalized pricing. Roche, with plenty of targeted medicines at stake, thinks, perhaps wishfully, that more differential, 'value-based' pricing is one answer to the soaring cost of innovation. Not all payers are so enthusiastic. Grueger's calling for more differential pricing not just for the same drug in different indications (as already happens in rare cases today) but also within indications. Such "segment-specific" pricing might, for example, see a breast cancer drug priced differently when used in the late-stage setting versus in the adjuvant setting. As Grueger argued, the price would be "based on the value that the medicine brings" in particular settings for particular patients. Most commonly in HTA-driven countries today, a drug is granted an 'average' price based on its value across a range of settings. But, emphasized Grueger, that one-price-fits-all- indications strategy doesn't suit the kinds of medicines that Roche and others are developing (drugs that, just like on-market Avastin, have potential across...Learn More
Say you're GSK, and a head-to-head trial pitting your drug against the market leader showed non-inferiority. Say, too, that even though you assembled some trial evidence that patients preferred your drug vs. the leader, this hadn't convinced everyone. So, with 70% of prescriptions still favoring your competitor, what to do? Blunt rebating is one option – but hardly commercially attractive. So how about taking the risk of testing your tolerability claim in the real world? That won't eliminate the need to rebate (that's a permanent fixture with me-too drugs) But it may limit it – and, potentially, allow a reduction in the rebate going forward. Here's how such a contract might work. In exchange for covering drug A, the payer gets discount X. If the drug meets a certain tolerability threshold (defined, of course, relative to the competitor) that discount remains. If it doesn't, the discount deepens. In the future, if that tolerability data can be turned into reduced overall cost (side-effects, treatment switching costs) the discount may shrink. Impracticable and unlikely to pass muster with payers, you say. Generally speaking, you'd be right. Exhibit number one supporting your conclusion: the paucity of risk-sharing in the US to date. Exhibit number 2: payers' publicly disclosed reasons for this scarcity,...Learn More
It may be Orion/Endo's ODM-201, a potentially first-in-class anti-androgen to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, that's generating the most buzz ahead of this weekend's European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) meeting in Vienna. But payers and physicians have a much more pressing concern: how to objectively evaluate two competing anti-androgens, Janssen's Zytiga and Medivation/Astellas's newly approved Xtandi, already on the market to treat advanced prostate cancer in the post-chemotherapy setting. A review of peer-reviewed published data suggests both drugs provide essentially the same overall survival benefit relative to placebo, and have similar quality-of-life data. Thus, the battle boils down to this: whether Xtandi's superior convenience and its freedom from required co-administration with corticosteroids can support its 28% price premium. That could prove an uphill battle. Medivation and Astellas don't yet have data linking its benefits to either improved outcomes or cost-savings, data points that are increasingly important in the post-reform era of accountable care. Indeed, there are signs that payers may finally be ready to say no to certain oncology drugs, albeit initially by targeting the low-hanging fruit: next generation, chemical improvements of existing molecules (think Abraxane) rather than first-in-class treatments. In a world where clinical pathways that rank medicines based on efficacy, toxicity, and cost are used to...Learn More
Zeke Emanuel would like to set the record straight. He's not against new medical technology. Indeed, the UPenn med school and Wharton professor calls the profusion of industry-generated new technologies "a great thing". But his support is necessarily tempered — a wariness born from his days as a health policy advisor in the Clinton and Obama administrations. Emanuel's willingness to critique newer, costlier innovations that deliver results no better than older, cheaper technologies has made him a lightning rod for critics who argue he's in favor of rationing (as well as death panels, which he was famously accused of inventing as part of his role in fashioning the Affordable Care Act). He also happens (with another dozen and a half similarly influential panelists) to be a speaker at the Real Endpoints Symposium on Nov 1-2 in Philadelphia. The unfortunate truth, says Emanuel, is that advances in healthcare technology have generally not delivered the kind of productivity benefits Moore's law describes in computer processing. But that won't always be so. Future technologies, he believes, will not only increase the quality of healthcare, particularly in areas which haven't seen much progress, but also "lower costs and do it more efficiently." That double goal is "what technology is supposed to do…we just...Learn More
Roche's investor day on Sept. 5 provided heartening news for breast cancer patients. Executives outlined an array of increasingly targeted therapeutic permutations to combat the tumor, building on its leadership with Herceptin. But payers will have come away worried. The slew of new drugs, combinations and conjugates points to rapidly-multiplying per-patient costs, as (likely) premium-priced individual treatments are teamed up. Roche seems to be aware of the tension. Even as it promoted more effective versions of existing blockbusters like Herceptin, it also discussed a new model for how such drugs ought to be paid for: patient-based pricing. Marketing chief David Loew talked about moving "from pack-based to patient-based pricing", borrowing from a concept that is gaining traction scientifically –personalized medicine—and applying it to the commercial marketplace. "Different prices will be applied…depending on indication, setting, and combination," he told investors. How this works without causing administrative chaos is unclear — but the alternative, sum-of-the-parts pricing, is equally nightmarish. Those holding their breath for the era of cheaper Herceptin (whose patents are due to expire in 2014 in Europe and five years later in the US will likely have to wait far longer. That's because Roche has redefined the boundaries on its Her-2 breast cancer franchise, conveniently expanding Herceptin's commercial life cycle with...Learn More
European HTA officers return to their offices after the summer break with more job-confidence than many other health care stakeholders. Rather like lawyers, their role will become more important as budget pressures mount amid continued European economic turmoil. Indeed, the Germans are patting themselves on the back for their new early-benefit assessment system: G-BA Chairman Josef Hecken on Sept. 3 in Berlin declared the system "transparent, legally secure and predictable" with decisions based on "clear, evidence-based criteria." Sponsors of drugs including Zytiga, Jevtana (prostate cancer) and Gilenya (MS), which will soon emerge from the pricing process, will be wishing it was more predictable still. Pharma associations criticise the choice of (often cheap) comparators. And there have been other wrinkles: around whether negotiated prices would be published (they will); around VAT (expected to be payable on the full, not discounted price); and around pharmacy software struggling to cope with discount data. But even after just two medicines have been priced (Brilique and Esbriet), the 20-month old system looks here to stay. There's no suggestion that UK cost-watchdog NICE is going away, either. But there were mixed messages over the summer. On August 20, the agency appeared to have got its claws clipped –again — , with news that its appeals panel...Learn More
The Olympics (and shark week) are over, the dog days have officially arrived, and here at the West Coast branch of Real Endpoints, it's back to work as the little people head back to school. (Already!) Given Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate, it's a sure bet healthcare (especially Medicaid and Medicare) will remain a subject of debate in the run-up to the presidential election. So will the subject of "big medicine" and standardization. Atul Gawande's New Yorker piece on the topic continues to generate discussion in the blogo- and twitter-spheres as well as #longread recommendations. And it's no wonder. If you're like me you've probably taken for granted (or refused to believe) that a chain like the Cheesecake Factory can provide high quality food and service for a reasonable price. What Gawande does so well is show you the non-obvious steps that CF uses to manage the process and highlight where—and how—such standardization would make a difference in healthcare delivery. Even better are the specific examples he cites, whether it's Steward Hospital's tele-ICU service or Brigham and Women's Hospital's attempt to standardize joint-replacement surgery. In the latter case, it's interesting to see how the creation of a dedicated process –for instance, one that requires...Learn More

© JD Enarsico | Photography says:
does Lightroom have this effect too? or should i say almost? like the Zero'd action in lightroom?
Tennessee_Gator says:
You have immense control in Lightroom with colors, blacks and blown out parts of a photo. You could get very similar results in the Develop module in Lightroom.
Kasandra_A says:
I really love this effect but Photoshop Elements doesn't have a Channels palette.
APD Photo says:
This is a really neat effect. You might call it either a "70's snaphot" or "anti-Velvia." Much more subtle and effective than what I've been doing (and won't share; you're welcome...)

Hi, I really love this effect. but I got lost wherever it is while following the steps, dunno what went wrong? :/
Haggis Chick says:
mmm Hengky I kinda got lost too. From step 4 onwards it was like being hut by a frying pan :-))) I'm going to keep trying though as I must be doing something so silly.

so here's mine. but for those people who's not creative enough or doesn't have a photography skills or a point & shoot minded clients who doesn't love post processing, a noob clients will say it's too dull, no colors at all, why is it like that? you dont know how to shoot? it's too ugly.

Okay, I just feel plum silly, can't seem to get the first post directions to work for me. I've got CS 2... but i'm losing the fill in black and fill in white options... and the action is no longer downloadable.

Photon-Painter says:
I am not sure if I am correct, but I found an easier and more flexible way of doing this: Muted colors created with an inverted S-Curve with "Color" as its blending mode. Another normal non-inverted S-Curve was used to boost the contrast with "Luminosity" blending mode.

Allan, please do share with us what you think when you have tried out the method. Thanks!

maybe its a curly Z curve?

This is probably a stupid question, but couldn't one achieve similar results by:
Mack2 says:
(The) Appleman says:
Photon-Painter - Excuse my ignorance but what, exactly do you mean by an "inverted S-Curve with "Color" as its blending mode"? Are you referring to creating a new Adjustment Layer in the Layers palette (choosing Curves) and if so, what does an inverted S-Curve look like and how to create this? Would really appreciate your explanation - or example.
vidabobida [deleted] says:
your actions never work in my cs2 :(
Tennessee_Gator says:
vidabobida: hmmmm! it should work, I reworked it this morning and it worked in a windoze version of CS2. I even added a highlight twist at the end. I'll upload it to my actions later. Are you starting with a flattened image. By that I mean it only has one layer and that layer is called "Background Layer"? In the new one (as a warning) it WILL flatten your image and put the mute part in a set so you can loose it, or reduce the opacity.
Daniel E Bruce says:
Brilliant! I'm working on something right now bro...
Lady Smirnoff says:
Thanks for the tutorial!!! I tried Entity Designs suggestion and got this.
Photon-Painter says:
Dapen and NovaMan396: For more information about the curves, please have a look here. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Ok i thought i would resurrect this one again as i have a new technique for you to try that is quite simple but effective. sort of a "mish mosh" of previous techniques with a few different ones ...does that make sense ? anyhow it will in a minute so....

tennessee.. it won't load into my cs2! it says it's not compatible with my version of phooshop but i'm using cs2.
Tennessee_Gator says:
vidabobida: I don't know what to tell you. I tested the new one on CS2 Windoze and it worked. Don't have access to CS2 on a Mac.
vidabobida [deleted] says:
yes, sir i did! it just happens when i try to load into my actions it says that it's not compatible with the version that i have :( and i'm using windows so it should work!

Know what, its okay, it worked well without the default colors....or maybe I had them and didn't know it :) At any rate, thanks a bunch!
James Kaarremaa says:
Mine just black & white adjustment layer over the original layers with a 80-90% opacity. I like the desaturated look for portraits because a) It's easier to create good looking skin tones, b) It seems to create more variation in tones and c) it can change the mood dramatically.

I want to try this but on a Mac.
Tennessee_Gator says:
I do it on a Mac It's simple
~SCF~ [deleted] says:
I'm interested in knowing the steps, what is it you're doing. That way I can adapt it, fine tune it. I don't want to copy your effect (no offense) I want to know your technique so I can play with it and make it mine.
Tennessee_Gator says:
No offense. I think that is the smartest thing to do. The steps I used are specifically listed above.
Syl_au says:
um..is there any difference to this and making a gradient adjustment layer? I compared both and I can't see a difference.
Jeff Engelhardt says:
well, a gradient adjustment layer is pretty flexible - there are a lot of different ways to use it. I'd think if you just did the standard gradient map, it would just turn it black and white, unless you reduced the opacity or changed the blend mode . . but then it's just like a b&w overlay (assuming you don't do anything else with the gradient map).
michille_baker says:
Thanks so much Gator. You are the answer to my prayers. I've been trying to pull of this technique for ever and could not get it to look just right. Now i know. Thanks sooooo much!

ya true, its pretty cool for portrait work though. heres one i did of myself....
RubberIcons says:
eeps, I suck at photoshop when it comes to channels and shortcuts. Having trouble with the initial tutorial.
GMB Photography says:
No. You fill the layer with black after having inversed the selection (which you would have created by ctrl/cmd-clicking on the composite icon in the channels palette).
RubberIcons says:
Ohhhhhhh, Doh! I get it now. thank you geoffyjb
Geoff in Worthing, UK says:
This one goes back a bit but I like the effect and it would work well on some pictures..... Tennessee Gator's tutorial just doesn't work in Elements (from the moment he said, "Channels Palette" I knew I was sunk). So I thought I'd give Stevekin's Action a try-out and (just to show how much is actually in Elements but hidden) it works fine.
strange_drew16 says:
I tried tennessee gator's tut and it worked great on my pics. i just had to adjust the curves separately on RGB to give a hint of every color. but it worked great coz the colors are still mute. i love it. thanks for the post gator. i'll be using this effect more.

Judge to Rule on Whether Dude Is Sherman Hemsley's Half-Brother
Hair Balls would've never guessed there'd be drama over the estate of the late Jeffersons star Sherman Hemsley, whose soul went to the de-luxe apartment in the sky last July. But that's just what happened: Although Hemsley, who lived in El Paso for the last 20 years, left everything to his friend Flora Enchinton, a dude from Philly -- where Hemsley was born -- swooped in at the last minute and claimed to be Hemsley's half-brother.
Today, an El Paso probate court judge is expected to review the results of the DNA test.
The 71-year-old Thornton's last-minute, soap opera-esque announcement has kept Hemsley's body from being laid to rest, causing a rift among the late actor's relatives and friends.
According to the El Paso Times, Thornton has said that "his uncle's father, William Thornton, was a 'lover' of Hemsley's mother, but was with another woman by the time Hemsely was born."

"It was family knowledge that he was Sherman's father," Thornton said of William Thornton.
Enchinton told KVIA news that "I just want this to be over....This has been so hard for me, you have no idea."
We have no idea what to think. Squabbles like this aren't unheard of in cases where the estate is worth a fortune -- a la Anna Nicole Smith -- but Hemsley's estate is said to be "worth a little more than $50,000," which is not exactly a king's ransom.
On the other hand, is this the first time Thornton ever spoke up about his alleged relation to the late actor? Seems kind of weird to swoop in like this, if he wasn't a part of Hemsley's life for ages. We have a feeling that, if George Jefferson were around, he'd not-so-kindly show Thornton the door.
We're curious about how this plays out, and we'll keep you posted.
