|Office of the Attorney General - State of Texas
John Cornyn
October 12, 2000
Mr. Les Romo
Dear Mr. Romo:
You ask whether certain information is subject to required public disclosure under the Public Information Act, chapter 552 of the Government Code. Your request was assigned ID# 140312.
The City of Liberty Hill (the "city"), which you represent, received two requests for copies of all legal services invoices received by the city from your law firm. You claim that two invoices, dated June 15, 2000 and July 13, 2000, are excepted from disclosure under sections 552.103 and 552.107 of the Government Code. We have considered the exceptions you claim and reviewed the submitted information.
The submitted information are attorney fee bills. Section 552.022(a)(16) of the Government Code provides that "information that is in a bill for attorney's fees and is not privileged under the attorney-client privilege" is public information and is not excepted from required disclosure. Attorney fee bills may be excepted only if expressly made confidential or if excepted under the attorney-client privilege. Section 552.103 does not render the requested information confidential. See Dallas Area Rapid Transit v. Dallas Morning News, 4 S.W.3d 469, 475-76 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1999, no pet.) (litigation exception discretionary; governmental body may waive section 552.103 exception). Therefore, you may not withhold the information under section 552.103.
Next, we address whether the attorney-client privilege applies to the requested information. Section 552.107(1) excepts information from disclosure if
it is information that the attorney general or an attorney of a political subdivision is prohibited from disclosing because of a duty to the client under the Texas Rules of Civil Evidence, the Texas Rules of Criminal Evidence, or the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.
Gov't Code § 552.107(1). In Open Records Decision No. 574 (1990), this office concluded that section 552.107 excepts from public disclosure only "privileged information," that is, information that reflects either confidential communications from the client to the attorney or the attorney's legal advice or opinions; it does not apply to all client information held by a governmental body's attorney. Id. at 5, 7. Section 552.107(1) does not protect purely factual information that does not reveal a client confidence. Id at 7. We conclude that the submitted information does not reveal confidential client communications or contain an attorney's legal advice or opinions. Therefore, the information is not excepted from disclosure pursuant to section 552.107(1). The information must be released to the requestors.
This letter ruling is limited to the particular records at issue in this request and limited to the facts as presented to us; therefore, this ruling must not be relied upon as a previous determination regarding any other records or any other circumstances.
This ruling triggers important deadlines regarding the rights and responsibilities of the governmental body and of the requestor. For example, governmental bodies are prohibited from asking the attorney general to reconsider this ruling. Gov't Code § 552.301(f). If the governmental body wants to challenge this ruling, the governmental body must appeal by filing suit in Travis County within 30 calendar days. Id. § 552.324(b). In order to get the full benefit of such an appeal, the governmental body must file suit within 10 calendar days. Id. § 552.353(b)(3), (c). If the governmental body does not appeal this ruling and the governmental body does not comply with it, then both the requestor and the attorney general have the right to file suit against the governmental body to enforce this ruling. Id. § 552.321(a).
If this ruling requires the governmental body to release all or part of the requested information, the governmental body is responsible for taking the next step. Based on the statute, the attorney general expects that, within 10 calendar days of this ruling, the governmental body will do one of the following three things: 1) release the public records; 2) notify the requestor of the exact day, time, and place that copies of the records will be provided or that the records can be inspected; or 3) notify the requestor of the governmental body's intent to challenge this letter ruling in court. If the governmental body fails to do one of these three things within 10 calendar days of this ruling, then the requestor should report that failure to the attorney general's Open Government Hotline, toll free, at 877/673-6839. The requestor may also file a complaint with the district or county attorney. Id. § 552.3215(e).
If this ruling requires or permits the governmental body to withhold all or some of the requested information, the requestor can appeal that decision by suing the governmental body. Id. § 552.321(a); Texas Department of Public Safety v. Gilbreath, 842 S.W.2d 408,411 (Tex. App.-Austin 1992, no writ).
Please remember that under the Act the release of information triggers certain procedures for costs and charges to the requestor. If records are released in compliance with this ruling, be sure that all charges for the information are at or below the legal amounts. Questions or complaints about over-charging must be directed to the General Services Commission at 512/475-2497.
If the governmental body, the requestor, or any other person has questions or comments about this ruling, they may contact our office. Although there is no statutory deadline for contacting us, the attorney general prefers to receive any comments within 10 calendar days of the date of this ruling.

RUSH: Okay, folks, look, I just checked the e-mail here at the top of the hour. I'm not trying to be pessimistic. I'm trying to be realistic. I'm not trying to be negative about anything. Facing reality is what I do. I am the mayor of Realville, and I'm just telling you that the media is in the same mode that they've been in for the last four years: utter protection of Obama, utter promotion of Obama.
So McCain and the boys have a press conference announcing they want a select committee to look into Benghazi, and the press is hostile. That should not be a surprise. That's standard operating procedure. The press is hostile to us. The press is hostile to Republicans. The press is hostile to anybody who does not fall in line with the Obama stated position on anything. Four Americans dead in Benghazi? Doesn't matter, because it doesn't matter to Obama, and particularly if it could hurt Obama, it is not going to happen. "They ought to be as contentious with Obama as they are with --" yeah, they should, but they're not gonna be. They're his guarantors. They're his protectors.
This press conference coming up the bottom of the hour, you know what it's gonna be? It's gonna be a continuation of the War on Women. It's gonna be a continuation of the campaign. He's gonna continue to bash Republicans. He's gonna make a couple of phony allusions to bipartisanship and so forth, but he's ramming it down everybody's throat now: $1.6 trillion of tax increases, health care cutbacks of $340 billion. And this is not to raise revenue, and it's not to reduce the deficit; it's to punish people. It's to punish people for voting against him. It's to punish people for not supporting him. It's to punish people for being successful, because that means somebody hasn't been. Success, in his world, is not legitimate. It results from cheating, chicanery, an unfair playing field or what have you. He's got free rein now, like he told Medvedev, "Hey, just tell Vlad, once I get reelected I'll have a lot more flexibility."
He's got it now.
RUSH: Okay, folks, look, I just checked the e-mail here at the top of the hour. I'm not trying to be pessimistic. I'm trying to be realistic.
We'll start in Kansas City, and it's Karen. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. This is such an honor. I can't tell you. I'm really nervous because I've always wanted to talk to you, so thank you so much.
RUSH: You bet. I'm glad you are here.
CALLER: First I want to tell you that I did order some more diet blueberry and raspberry tea yesterday. I just love it.
RUSH: Thank you. Thank you very much. We keep getting feedback from people tasting it for the first time who say how good it is, and it is. That's the best thing about the tea: It is really good. I'm glad you like it.
CALLER: I do. I do. And my second point is that I agree with you a hundred percent. I don't think we're watching this Petraeus situation unfold. I think it already unfolded, it's done, and you're exactly right: It's happening the way you describe. To me, it's so obvious. Obviously the administration knew, and Mark Levin -- who, for those don't know, worked in the Reagan administration for the attorney general -- said absolutely the president would know. He would know right away if there were this kind of security breach.
RUSH: Well, yeah. Last night on Greta, Alberto Gonzales, former attorney general for Bush 43, said if something like this has happened in their administration -- if the CIA director was having an affair with these exact details -- he would have told Bush instantly. You can't leave the president hanging and unknowing and ignorant. And this bunch didn't, either. There's no way Obama didn't know about this. What they did was put this in their pocket for later use when they needed it, and we don't know what those reasons are. But we know who they are, these people. We know the kind of people they are. And there's no question, they needed it now for some reason.
CALLER: Well, now the FBI has conveniently found classified documents in Paula Broadwell's house. So this kind of information is coming out, and there's no way to me that Petraeus would testify if they didn't already know the outcome. So my prediction personally, watching these details come out, is that, in exchange, there will be no charges, perhaps no dishonorable discharge. They can keep him from being the fall guy. They could put a lid on all the dirty laundry that could come out. It wouldn't surprise me, if after all this has cleared, it will become, as you said, "A private matter. Nothing to see here. No security breach."
RUSH: All of that's entirely possible. I want to walk you through what she's speculating. Here we've got McCain, Lindsey Grahamnesty, and Kelly Ayotte asking for a select committee to look into Benghazi. You and I all know that it was not a video. It has been admitted to by enough people at upper levels of our government. We know that this was an Al-Qaeda attack. We know that the White House Situation Room knew at the moment it was happening what it was.
The bottom line is: We know that everybody in this administration who, for two weeks or for two days or even to the present, was blaming Benghazi on spontaneous eruption of protests and a video... We know that that's not true. Okay, you know that. Here you've got these people asking for a select committee to look into it. We have General Petraeus, the CIA director. On September 13th or 14th, whatever, he testified that it was a video; that it was spontaneous.
Now Petraeus has had to resign. Details of the affair. And she's right. They found classified documents at Broadwell's house. We don't know what. I can't believe the FBI... Actually, I can believe the FBI is releasing that. The FBI is releasing all kinds of stuff now that they used to never talk about, but they're making it all public. So in all of this, Petraeus goes and testifies either tomorrow or Friday, whenever it is.
He's not gonna commit perjury.
He's not gonna disagree with himself.
He's not gonna say that what he said back then was wrong.
I don't even think he'll say, "I was misinformed. I've done my own investigation now." What'll happen is he'll come out and he'll confirm what he said. That will leak. It will leak. Even though it's behind closed doors it will leak purposefully, and what will the news be? "The director of the CIA, in closed-door testimony, once again confirmed that the root cause of the violence in Benghazi was a spontaneous protest that was the result of an offensive video."
And we're gonna be pulling our hair out. We're gonna know it isn't true. But they'll have the testimony of the former CIA director, even though he's may be discredited in some people's eyes. It's just hard to conceive. "It's hard to conceive that they would let Petraeus come and testify if he is going to say things that contradict Obama and Susan Rice and whoever else. We'll wait and see how this turns out, but I think you ought to brace yourself for the fact that it's another dispute that the Democrats will win."
RUSH: Mary in Napa, California, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Hi.
RUSH: Hi. Don't sound so excited.
CALLER: (laughing) It's good talking to you. I was just calling, it's been on my mind for a couple weeks now. Why hasn't anybody mentioned anything about the 30 people who survived the attack in Benghazi. We have two outrageous heroes that laid their life down for these people. Now, I know they're government employees so they're probably asked to stand down on speaking up, but I know there's somebody, Rush, that's out there in your audience that knows one of these 30 people that can have them take a stand and speak out on the benefits that they reaped because two men died on their behalf.
RUSH: So you -- if I understand this right -- you think that some of the survivors should be coming forward --
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: -- and explaining what really happened there?
CALLER: Yes, I do. I think it's their right. I mean, you look at the what our Founding Fathers put on the line, they put everything on the line.
RUSH: Yeah, but --
CALLER: And these people are worried their job? No. They have a job because these men saved their lives.
RUSH: Yeah. That's all true. That's all true. It's also true that they are still alive.
CALLER: Right.
RUSH: They got out of there alive, and they'd like to stay that way. And they would probably like to keep their jobs. It's a tough economy.
CALLER: Well, you know what, I'm sure our Founding Fathers did, too --
RUSH: Can I ask you, seriously, now, Mary I want you to listen to me. I want to take you back to the eight years of Bill Clinton. Can you recall in all of that mess, can you recall one member of that administration, ever, even today, coming forward and telling the truth about anything that happened there?
CALLER: No. I think they died around him.
RUSH: Well, no, no. I'm talking about people still alive. What I'm telling you is, as a matter of ideological commitment and loyalty, they do not turn on each other. They circle the wagons around each other. The survivors at Benghazi have only one interest, and that is protecting Obama. That's who they work for, or protecting Hillary.
CALLER: Yeah. I don't look at this as turning on their party. I look this as standing up for two men that put their lives on the line. I think you can separate the two, and I think that we need to get the character back in our country where people take a stand and they take a chance that they're gonna lose all things. That's what these two men did.
RUSH: Okay, well, then, let me ask, why haven't they, then? If you think it's quite normal, if you think it's natural to think that some of these people would come forward thanking the people that saved them and then telling the truth, why haven't they?
CALLER: I don't think it's normal, but one thing that we've lost in this country, Rush, is accountability and ownership. And I think that they need to own up to what they have now because of these two men, and I think they need to be accountable.
RUSH: I'm really not trying to be a downer here. What I really think is that they know, whoever you're talking about, they know that we exist. And to them, that means we would like to hold Obama accountable for an absolute disastrous foreign policy. As long as there are people like us, the people in the regime are not going to help us. If that means circling the wagons around Obama, circling the wagons around what happened in Benghazi, toeing the company line, that's what they're gonna do. I cannot overemphasize to you the partisan divide, the literal partisan -- "divide" is not even the word. But it'll suffice.
That exists here. You're looking at people with honor and integrity doing the right thing. They think they are. Doing the right thing is protecting Obama from us. Protecting Obama from the Republicans. That is doing the right thing. That's loyalty. The mission, the loyalty, the reason for existence is to protect Obama. It's not anything about the country. Now, this may be a bit of an exaggeration and I don't mean it as a blanket application to everything, but so far, eight years of Bill Clinton, this has been the modus operandi. Four years of Barack Obama, this has been the modus operandi. We see it happen each and every day. Mary, I'm glad you called.
RUSH: Here's John in Crofton, Maryland. I'm glad you waited, sir. Hi.
CALLER: Hello?
RUSH: Yeah. Hi, John. How are you?
CALLER: Yeah, you know I'm probably your most frequent caller. I've been listening to you for over 20 years, (ahem), and I am pissed at you. I... I sent you an e-mail yesterday, and I kind of got the impression that you were giving Petraeus a way out for him not to tell the truth. I think it's so critical now, especially with all these other things that Obama's gonna stick to us as far as the fiscal cliff and everything else, loss of freedom. You know, this guy is still a national hero. I mean, he's been in uniform for what?
(growing agitated) Almost 40 years! Almost twice the amount of time you've been on the air, and you're not waiting another day or two. You don't even know what day he's gonna testify -- it's probably gonna be Friday -- and you're making it easy for him to go up there and just give the same story he gave before! We know it's not true. It's not perjury because intervening, he went to Benghazi and he investigated the thing himself! (shouting)
Everybody knows what the story is! And if a national hero doesn't go to bat for the rest of the country, we're lost. And you're -- you're telling everybody, "Oh, the president's invincible! You're... Nobody's gonna win. Look at Clinton! My God, he screwed so many people and nobody ever came forward on him. So you can't beat these people." My God, how defeatist can you be? (pause) You're not American when you act that way!
RUSH: I'm just telling you. I'm reading the tea leaves. I'm using my intelligence --
CALLER: I want to know what the tea leaves say!
RUSH: I'm using my intelligence guided by experience.
CALLER: (unintelligible shouting) Raspberry!
RUSH: You just said it. Nobody ever dropped a dime on Clinton!
CALLER: You said it! I was repeating what you said!
RUSH: Well --
CALLER: (screams) Who cares about Clinton?
RUSH: Did anybody ever drop the dime on Clinton?
CALLER: I don't care!
RUSH: It matters!
CALLER: (unintelligible shouting)
RUSH: That's why you should care! It's instructive!
RUSH: Now, let's talk about Petraeus for a second, because John from Crofton, Maryland, is mad. He thinks I've given Petraeus an outlet to go ahead and lie, and I don't think that that's even possible, but Petraeus, on September the 13th, two days after this thing, went up to Congress and testified that it was the video. Now, all this time, when Petraeus goes up there and testifies, it's known he's having an affair. They're trying to tell us Obama didn't know at that point in time. That's the rub here. They're telling us that nobody told Obama that his CIA director was having an affair and Obama was not told that the CIA director was sharing classified data with his biographer. They want us to believe that Obama didn't know about this until the Thursday after the election. Last Thursday. They're asking us to believe that's the first he knew of it.
It's too much to believe. They told us that Obama is the most sophisticated consumer of intel the country's ever seen. He's such a great consumer of intelligence that he doesn't need to even go to the daily briefings. It's outrageous to insult our intelligence, to have us believe that Obama was not told that the CIA director's having an affair. What happened was they put that fact in a pocket and they're ready to use it against Petraeus whenever they need it. Well, hello Benghazi. Now, Petraeus was scheduled to testify tomorrow anyway, until they dropped the dime on him on the affair. Then he resigns. By the way, we learned yesterday that Petraeus wanted to stay on originally. Did you hear that? He asked the CIA security chief, (paraphrasing) "Look, can I just admit that this happened? I want to stay on."
He wanted to finagle a way to stay in office as the CIA director even with the news having come out. They wouldn't let him. I don't remember where I heard that yesterday. Two different places. I can't recall right now. So he's scheduled to testify tomorrow anyway. He's already under oath in prior testimony blaming the video, like everybody else in the regime did and has maintained, even to this day. Now he's no longer the CIA director. That means to people that he's free. He doesn't have to worry about recriminations. He doesn't have to worry about loyalty to the president, even though as CIA director he shouldn't anyway, but they all are.
It was the Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, both reported that Petraeus wanted to stay. He wanted to stay on. And that is crucially important. So, yeah, he resigned, but it's because they wouldn't let him stay. So now he's gonna testify anyway. And the hope is and the expectation is that since he went to Benghazi after his testimony on the 13th and conducted his own investigation, the assumption is that Petraeus now knows that it wasn't a video. In fact, the assumption is that Petraeus knew it wasn't a video when he said it was, if we must be honest, and we must be honest. There isn't anybody in this administration who really thought it was the video. That was a concoction and a lie to cover up the incompetence or whatever else they're trying to cover up.
Now we learn there might have been a CIA illegal prison in the annex over there. This is much bigger than anybody knew. It's much bigger than just Obama foreign policy incompetence. There's something going on they don't want us to know. It's never been about the video, and even when Petraeus said it was, it wasn't. And when he said that it was the video, he knew that they knew that he was having the affair. I mean, that was all known. He just didn't know that Obama knew. That's how convoluted this is, when, of course, there's no question Obama did, I don't care what anybody's saying.
Now the expectation is that Petraeus can go testify tomorrow or Friday, whenever it is, and say, "By the way, I recant. It wasn't the video. This was an Al-Qaeda attack. It was a preplanned attack." Testify to the truth, that we all know what it was. It was an Al-Qaeda attack, that Al-Qaeda is building and establishing more bases in northern Africa and in Libya. And what I said to get John in Crofton, Maryland, all upset was that I don't expect Petraeus to change his testimony because then they can charge him with perjury. John said, "Well, he could rely on the fact that he's conducted his own investigation now. It wouldn't be perjury. It would be correcting the record." To which my reply was, folks, in this era, there is not a dispute that does not end in the Democrats' favor.
We are one week into Obama after the second election. He's officially not in his second term, but for all practical intentions, he is. Does anybody really think that his second term is gonna be taken down tomorrow or Friday? John said, "You're basically telling us that an American hero for 40 years would still lie about something." And I'm saying I think that if that happened, I wouldn't be surprised at all. And like the rest of you, I'd be livid and I'd be disappointed and I'd be pulling my hair out over frustration, but frankly I've been doing that for 25 years on this show watching the Democrats get away with virtually anything they want for all intents and purposes, be it rape, be it sexual harassment of an intern, lying under oath to a grand jury and the guy that does that is the biggest hero of the Democrat Party.
We have to face the facts here, the Democrats win this stuff. The media and everybody else circles the wagons around them. This is closed-door testimony tomorrow. It'll probably leak, particularly if it favors Obama. We will see what happens. I'm just telling you that I'm gonna be surprised if Petraeus changes his story. Now, John thinks that I'm giving Petraeus an out here, 'cause I'm the second most powerful guy in America, and if I say it's okay, I expect him to lie, he'll go do it and there won't be any criticism of it. Now, Obama said, "If Senator McCain, Senator Graham, and others want to go after somebody, let them come after me. I'm happy to have that discussion."
Well, good. Let's have it.
Let's have that discussion about you, Mr. President. By all means, since you've asked for it. So, anyway, that's where we are. Graham and McCain want this select committee to get to the bottom. We have four dead Americans here. It's being covered up by a sex scandal. A sex scandal is being used by the administration to cover up any investigation or any news reporting about the truth of Benghazi where four Americans are dead. It is outrageous. It's unacceptable. There's no question about it. But it's par for the course.

A tempest, unforeseen and violent, suddenly tossed the ships into chaos, striking terror into even the brave heart of the popular King Roger.
At the time (actually 1131), Normans ruled Sicily, and King Roger II was sailing along the island's northern coast, with several ships as his escort. Praying for safety, he made a solemn vow to build a cathedral at the shore where he landed and dedicate it to Christ the Savior. Out of the mists, St. George (a Norman favorite) then appeared to the king and assured him that all would be well. The next day was Pentecost; the seas calmed and the king found himself at Cefalù, east of Palermo.
Visitors to Sicily today still see his ruggedly elegant, double-towered cathedral — the Palermo Cathedral — at the foot of an enormous rock, an unforgettable sight in this charming town. Right after landing, the king had a temporary chapel built and named it for the messenger, St. George, and then Roger commenced work on the cathedral, which would be his royal ex-voto to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Arriving at Cefalù from the west is thrilling. A curve of coast brings a massive boulder, shaped something like a priest's biretta, or a pastry shop's brioche, into view with the town beneath it, as if huddled in the wake of a tidal wave.
Cefalù sits on a promontory from which this mass, called La Rocca, rises about 900 feet above the Mediterranean. The cathedral is massive as a Norman fortress, but softened with elegant Arab arches. Arabs had occupied Sicily before the Normans. The latter seemed to achieve a relatively peaceable kingdom, at least under Roger. Walk around to the back, too, as it is a gem from all directions. Each of the twin towers has three tiers of mullioned (divided) windows.
The cathedral, or Duomo, as all major city cathedrals are called, stands on a charming piazza where coffee bars and restaurants leave their tables and chairs out at all hours for the hundreds of tourists who visit the town each day. Just sitting there and looking up at Roger's gift is awe-inspiring.
Blessed Beach Town
Inside the church, the vast Byzantine mosaic of Christ is one of my favorites of this kind. Although his grandeur is apparent, Christ's appearance is softened by a stray lock of hair that seems to have just slipped down on his forehead. The open Gospel he holds shows the Greek and Latin text of St. John 8:12: "I am the light of the world. Those who follow me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
A beautiful Madonna and Child statue by Antonello Gagini (1533) stands in the left nave. Near it is the entrance to the 12th-century cloister, which is still evocative of its time, though fire has damaged it. Biblical events can be seen finely carved into capitals of columns. Cefalù was a bishop's see: A bishop's palace, a seminary, and a convent stand alongside piazza Duomo, the palm tree-graced piazza in front of the cathedral.
Down the hill, at the beach, bathers linger during long spring days and well into the fall, and raucous cries of diving seagulls shatter the air along the sea. The first day I saw the town with its mighty cathedral I thought it would be a fine place to live, and not long afterward my work took me to Sicily, where I rented an apartment in Cefalù on the rocky shore near the cathedral.
Capuchin Charm
The town of Cefalù, whose name comes from the Greek word kafale, for headland or cape, dates back to about the 9th century B.C. Remnants of that time can be seen high above the town on top of La Rocca. If you like hiking, walk up there (the path is not very steep), to enjoy a thrilling view of the honey-colored town against the often deep-blue sea beyond. A temple to the Greek goddess Diana and other ancient Greek ruins are there for the exploring.
Some fine religious paintings as well as Greek vases are displayed at the attractive Mandralisca museum, on a street in front of the Duomo. Its most famous painting, however, is by Antonello da Messina (1465), Portrait of a Man, which shows a sly Sicilian.
Apart from the Duomo, several churches of Baroque elegance can be seen along the main Corso Ruggero (Roger). The Purgatorio Church at the top of a double stairway is worth searching out. At the end of the Corso, the Church of Santa Maria della Catena has a graceful portico.
Cefalù is beguiling, filled with charming streets and sea views. The pilgrim will find places for reverent prayer and for exultation at the beauty of the world.
A popular place for pilgrimages can be found nearby, about five miles south, on Monte Sant'Angelo, at the Sanctuary of Gibelmanna, built in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Cappuchin friars' museum there contains Franciscan creche figures, vestments, enameled reliquaries, a 16th-century alabaster rosary and a Pieta. The humble carts, looms and utensils were collected from Franciscan monasteries (conventi in Italian) for men or women. A late 18th-century wax baby form is typical of ex-votos found in Sicily even today, asking favors for a child.
Sicily was a major destination for Catholic pilgrims all last year. The Jubilee may be over now, but, for those hungry for beauty and spiritual refreshment, Cefalù's appeal is timeless.

I have been a patient for years.I bring my whole family there. Always a smiling group of women ! You can tell that they really care about you and they love what they do. I will be honest and say that due to my insurance I tried going to another dr in my Delta network. But I hated how I was treated and my work never felt right. So I went back to see Dr Rogers and she welcomed me back like an old friend. It is so worth the little extra my insurance doesn't cover to know I am in good hands again!
Really Great Dentist08/05/2010
I recently started going to see Dr Rogers. I had my teeth cleaned by Kerry, I don't think I have ever had such a good cleaning. They really helped keep me on time. I was able to get my paperwork online and was seen within minutes of arriving. The girls at the front called my insurance to see what they would pay and went over what it would cost for my next visit. I will be bringing my whole family in.
Believe it or not, I enjoy going to my dentist. She has taken care of my family and I for a while now. For normal cleanings and for the occasional problem. I like that they treat me like they have known me for years and joke with me. 2 thumbs up to a great group!!!
I love my dentist10/05/2009
I broke my front tooth and had an important meeting. They were able to get me in to see them right away. \r I am so grateful for them for taking care of me so quicklly and for doing such a great job on my tooth! \r I have been a patient for about a year and have only had great experiences with everyone there.

Uniquely Stamped Stuff Review/Giveaway
I started this business because I wanted to offer something sentimental & of great quality at an affordable price.
Please remember that ALL of the ::Uniquely Stamped Stuff:: pieces are hand stamped and may not be perfectly straight but this is what makes them unique!
Have jewelry allergies? A lot of my jewelry is stainless steel which is hypoallergenic. It is also comparable to sterling silver, only you don't have to worry about it tarnishing like you do with sterling silver! My other pieces are made with copper. All my chains are made of nickel except the snake chain which is silver plated copper.
Not much of a jewelry wearer? I can make any piece into a keychain. JUST FOR YOU!
* If you don't see what you're looking for email me: firstname.lastname@example.com & we can come up with something.
This year for Mothers Day I was really struggling with a gift idea for my mom. Last year I had ordered her a necklace that had a moon charm that said "I love you to the moon and back" and then it had two heart charms with each of my boys names on it. She loved it!! However, not even a month later I noticed that it was turning colors :-/ I was so disappointed, my original plan had been if we were ever blessed to have more children I would just order her the heart charms from the same company....the quick color changing changed my mind quickly. SO I needed a new plan!
Jess with Uniquely Stamped Stuff came to my rescue! I have been following her FB page for a while now and the weekend before Mothers Day she posted one of her beautiful necklaces! And as soon as I saw it, I thought "thats my mom!" I knew I needed it for her! SO I emailed Jess and she said she would get it made up and it would be here by Mothers Day! It was, it arrived the Thursday before!
I was so excited to give this to my mom, I could hardly wait for Mothers Day!!! (I am totally the opposite of what I was as a kid....you know as a kid you can't wait for Christmas or your birthday to get your gifts? Now I can not wait to give other people their gifts! I love it!)
Mothers Day arrived and my boys and I (hubby included) went to visit my parents. My mom loved her necklace, she cried and put it on right away!! It was the perfect gift! Now, she did call me shortly after I got home and said the chain had come undone...:( but I emailed Jess and she has already put another chain in the mailbox, great customer service!!! I am so very pleased and I definitely look forward to ordering from Uniquely Stamped Stuff in the future.
Jess has been wonderful enough to offer one of her Family Tree Necklaces as a giveaway, one of you will win this necklace personalized (up to 50 characters, with the font shown) , you just pay $3 shipping.
I will leave this open until Monday June 4th. Good Luck!

I actually got the best gift this year.

China's Central Bank Is Facing a Major New Headache
This article from Bloomberg News may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:
Eoin Treacy's view -
People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan already has one policy headache with the currency falling to near an eight-year low. He could have an even bigger one next month.
That's when a $50,000 cap on how much foreign currency individuals are allowed to convert each year resets, potentially aggravating capital outflow pressures that are already on the rise. If just 1 percent of China's almost 1.4 billion people max out those limits, that's an outflow of about $700 billion -- more than the estimated $620 billion that Bloomberg Intelligence estimates indicate has already flowed out in the first 10 months of this year.
Middle class and wealthy Chinese have been converting money into other currencies to protect themselves from devaluation, exacerbating downward pressure on the yuan. Outflows could intensify if Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes fuel further dollar appreciation.
That leaves Zhou in a bind identified by Nobel-prize winning economist Robert Mundell as the "impossible trinity" -- a principle that dictates nations can't sustain a fixed exchange rate, independent monetary policy, and open capital borders all at the same time.
"At a moment like this, you have to compare two evils and pick the less-worse one," said George Wu, who worked as a PBOC monetary policy official for 12 years. "Capital free flow may have to be abandoned in order to maintain a relatively stable currency rate."
The $50,000 limit of foreign transfers is per person, so a family with two parents, one child and four grandparents can send $350,000 overseas with no need to resort to more sophisticated methods of transferring funds. There are of course many alternative routes to sending money overseas. So far rules aimed at controlling flows have focused on corporations and purchases of foreign real estate in the order of $1 billion but the flow of retail funds on aggregate represents a very large figure overall.

Jones vs. Gustafsson, GSP vs. Hendricks, Velasquez vs. Dos Santos, Silva vs. Weidman again—the UFC has giant title fights slated to close out 2013 in style.
But there are even more non-title fights with huge implications.
While Jose Aldo will be defending his title against "The Korean Zombie" at UFC 163, Jake Ellenberger will settle his public spat with Rory MacDonald, with the winner most likely earning the next shot at the welterweight title.
Daniel Cormier's feud with Roy Nelson has also been in the news lately and a contract has even been signed for a match between the two heavyweights. However, the implications of this fight are minuscule.
With so many title matches on the horizon for the remainder of this year's events, there are many fights that are flying under the radar.
Here's a look at a few fights that fans, and champions, should be keeping an eye on.

No. 4 Clemson has best AP poll ranking in 25 yearsBy RALPH D. RUSSO , Associated Press

MAKING A STATEMENT. Barring a severe case of Clemsoning by Clemson, the Tigers should be in the national championship race for most of this season.
No. 4 Clemson surged Tuesday to its highest ranking in The Associated Press poll in 25 years after the Tigers won the biggest game of the opening weekend of the college football season, a 38-35 victory against Georgia.
The Tigers received one-first place vote in the new Top 25 and have their best showing in the poll since Sept. 12, 1988, when they were No. 3.
Alabama remains No. 1 and received 58 of 60 first-place votes from the media panel after beating Virginia Tech 35-10 to start the season.
No. 2 Oregon and No. 3 Ohio State flip-flopped spots from the preseason rankings. The Buckeyes received one first-place vote. Stanford is No. 5.
As for Clemson, coach Dabo Swinney's team should be able to enjoy its lofty status for a while as long the Tigers avoid Clemsoning at its worst. Clemsoning is a term college football fans use when teams with high expectations lose to inferior opponents. Over the years, it's been a nasty habit of the Tigers.
Clemson this week hosts South Carolina State, an FCS team — though not a terrible one. And after what happened last weekend with eight FCS teams beating FBS teams, Clemson best not party too hard.
The Tigers should be big favorites in the next four Atlantic Coast Conference games after that before No. 10 Florida State and remarkable redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston come to town on Oct. 19.
Another tip for the Tigers: Watch out for faked punts.
Back in 1988, when Clemson was No. 3 in the country, the Tigers played Florida State in Death Valley and were victims of one of the most memorable trick plays in college football history. With the score tied and 1:21 left in the fourth quarter, Florida State lined up to punt from deep in its own territory. Instead, FSU coach Bobby Bowden called a fake and LeRoy Butler raced 78 yards to set up the game-winning field goal.
GOING UP. The current Florida State team moved up one spot to No. 10 in the rankings, but no doubt sent a message that it's prepared to compete with Clemson in the ACC, if not for a national championship. In a dazzling debut, Winston led Florida State to a 41-13 victory at Pitt on Monday night, going 25 of 27 for 356 yards and four touchdowns, and running for a score. The Seminoles' schedule also sets up nicely for a battle of unbeatens on Oct. 19. No Clemsoning, Seminoles.
GOING DOWN: Life is not always fair. Georgia played the toughest opening game of any of the highly ranked teams, traveling to Death Valley. The Bulldogs lost by three and dropped six spots in the rankings to No. 11. They were the only team in the top 18 to lose. Impressive victories by No. 6 South Carolina, No. 8 Louisville and No. 9 LSU helped push Georgia back. Bulldogs fans are probably not happy, but no need to fret. If Georgia beats South Carolina at home on Saturday, the Bulldogs will likely make a big jump.
IN AND OUT. No. 20 Washington moved into the rankings for the first time this season with one of the most impressive performances of the weekend. The Huskies unveiled their new up-tempo offense and whipped then-No. 19 Boise State 38-6. That sent the Broncos tumbling out of the poll. The Huskies have a week off before traveling to Illinois. No. 23 Baylor also moved into the rankings after an easy victory against Wofford. Oregon State fell out after becoming the third ranked FBS team to lose to an FCS team. The Beavers lost 49-46 to Eastern Washington on Saturday.
FROM THE ARCHIVES: Aside from South Carolina-Georgia, the big game of the week is No. 14 Notre Dame at No. 17 Michigan, the last scheduled trip to the Big House for the Fighting Irish. The teams play next year in South Bend, Ind., and then, who knows? Could be done for a while. And just when it is getting good again. For the second straight season both teams are ranked when they meet. That hasn't happened since 2005 and '06.

Push It Along: Six Songs That Incorporate The Coos And Cries Of Infants
Not very many hours after Beyoncé gave birth to their daughter Blue Ivy Carter, Jay-Z commemorated the occasion in song. "Glory" sounds humbled and relieved, and soft enough to bear some marks; at certain points, Jay's voice almost seems to quaver. He goes from revealing a past miscarriage to sharing the precise date of conception, as if still ambling through the ward in elated exhaustion. Next time he leaves condoms on a baby seat, it'll feel like a sitcom joke, not potential diss material.
The kid herself makes an appearance, wailing all over the track. Blue Ivy must be the first infant to receive a feature credit for their sampled gurglescanny as ever, dadbut she's only the youngest entry in pop's tiny, adorable line of incidental newborns. Given that the subtlety of the effect in question falls somewhere between siren noises and neighing, it tends to be used sparingly yet memorably. Pace Kelis, here are six other songs of the baby.
1. Boris, "Buzz In"
As one might expect from the Japanese purveyors of sludge, drone, doom and general loudness, Boris' little one lends their intro an abrasive cryand then starts babbling in excitement, like he's learning how to headbang.
2. A Tribe Called Quest, "Push It Along"

This is the opening track on ATCQ's debut album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm and also a pun. Actually, "instinctive travels" would be a clever description of infants crawling...
3. Ken Nordine, "My Baby"
As a joke, this 1959 novelty is a little unbearable: hipster slang, it's kind of like baby talk! And indeed the attempted fusion of jazz and poetry was already being mocked at the time. But if Nordine wasn't a conventional musician, he did gain faceless ubiquity as a spoken-word artist (he later coached Linda Blair in demoniacal language for The Exorcist), and hearing his deep voice adapt to the rhythms of textbook-cool jazz is an unusual pleasure. It might soothe a real tyke.Next Page

Pros vs. Pros
After finishing their striking session, Leinart and Willis take turns throwing combinations at the heavy bags, punctuating each set with a burpee. Their hips sag from fatigue. Once a bell signals the end of a minute-long interval, each grabs a 150-pound dummy on one shoulder, carries it 20 feet away, throws it on the ground and pounds it, transitioning from side mount to full mount before repeating. Glazer and Couture then hold a taut string a foot off the ground, and the players take turns jumping over it, then sliding underneath. "Patrick says this is easy," Glazer tells a sweaty Leinhart. "Good for him," the QB deadpans. The guys crack up.
Both men have made great strides from their first few sessions in the program. "I was trying to kick, and was just like, 'Fuck this, it's not for me,'" says Willis. "But the more we worked on agility, it really helped. Now I do stretches that before aggravated me a little bit." During one early session, Glazer made Leinart puke from going at full speed for a 10-minute round, with exercises changing every 30 seconds. But he didn't quit. "Afterward, I said to him, 'Do you know what we just worked on?'" says Glazer. "And he goes, 'Everything.' I said, 'No, man. We worked on your heart.'" After that, Glazer noticed a change in his attitude. "The Matt Leinart I knew was some prissy pretty boy who I would love to have fought in two seconds," he says. "But he's not the same Matt Leinart."
After finishing his session in the Octagon, Willis unwraps his gloves and heads over to find Couture. The striking helps him hand-fight with offensive linemen and shed blocks. He has learned not to overlean when trying to push an opponent off of him, using leverage rather than brute strength. Through three weeks in Vegas, Willis shed body fat without sacrificing pounds on the scale. "He didn't lose any weight," says Glazer, "but he added a shitload of muscle." Willis headed to camp in August lighter than his prior playing weight of 240 pounds and found himself more aggressive than in the past. "Patrick is the nicest guy in the league," says Glazer, "but he's become nasty."
At least five other NFL players and the staff of major league baseball's Toronto Blue Jays have contacted Glazer about training with him before the start of the next season. He even got an inquiry from retired NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. It might be hard for elite athletes to trust their conditioning to a reporter, yet Glazer is confident that the results will overcome any misgivings. "If you can check your ego at the door and you've come to work, I will get your career better than it ever has been," Glazer says. "I will change your life."
|Check out our exclusive photo gallery featuring Matt Leinart and Patrick Willis training with Jay Glazer, and Randy Couture at MMAthletics in Las Vegas.

Starting Monday, if you're headed through Chinatown you'll want to avoid King Street. Construction will shut down two lanes on the main road for about two months.
Many business owners on King Street are upset they say they heard about the start of construction just days ago. Some stores that are open now are planning on closing, and those with fruit stands right next to the road say it will be hard to keep their produce fresh.
"There will be a lot of dust and a lot of noise. It'll effect the business a lot," said Glenda Yu, who owns a fruit stand on King Street.
"I think I will lose a lot of customers because there's not a lot of people who want to come down when there's construction," said Kenny Dang with K & S Jewelry.
Construction is being done to install what the city says are much-needed bus pads, and marked as a street in one of the worst conditions in Honolulu, King Street will be fully re-surfaced from River to Bethel St.
That means you won't see buses coming down that section of King Street. At least five bus stops will be re-rerouted to Hotel Street.
"People that use the bus like to come here and shop ... the older folks, it'll be harder for them," said Kirkland Chandler bus commuter.
"Instead of just repaving, we also went and did a full depth construction. We changed out the main sewer line, the water and the gas lines. Just all of the utilities in the corridor, so the businesses will be served for many years on new services. We are putting in concrete bus pads like we are doing across Honolulu to withstand the weight, stopping and acceleration of buses at bus stops," said Chris Takashige, director of Department of Design and Construction for Honolulu.
The entire project is expected to last through the end of the year. It is estimated to cost $5.5 million. To find details on the detour routes go to the "As Seen on Section" on KITV.com

Reasons to vote
If drilling comes to our region, the crime rate will probably rise. Sherriff Scott Busching of Williams County, ND said: "Small towns enjoying a boom in oil and gas drilling are seeing a sharp increase in drunken driving, bar fights and other hell-raising…. The drilling industry has brought with it a hard-working, hard-drinking, rough-and-tumble element that, in some places, threatens to overwhelm law enforcement…. We have come to the point here where we're almost overwhelmed. It's very close," he said, according to the Times-Herald Record.
Your mortgage could be threatened. The Arkansas Times, following up on a New York Times story, writes, "Banks are becoming wary of lending money for land on which gas wells might eventually be drilled and might become home to waste pits, environmental problems and other changes." You may think, so what, I'm not going to be borrowing money from the bank once they start drilling on my land, and I won't have to worry about paying off a mortgage. But no one really knows how this will work if you are forced to sign a lease because of compulsory integration—that is, forced to participate because of drilling on adjacent land. Gas leases could put your mortgage, your refinancing, or the sale of your home at risk.
As far-fetched as it may sound, drilling deep into the earth and breaking up shale may actually cause earthquakes. The New York Times reported the following: "A British seismologist said Friday that two minor earthquakes in northwestern England 'appeared to correlate closely' with the use of hydraulic fracturing, a method of extracting natural gas from wells that has raised concerns about environmental and seismological risks in the United States."
This is a local election, but we have been asked to weigh in on an issue of national and even international significance. This is not simply about the rights of large property owners to do whatever they want on their land. It is about the rights of all area residents whose lives and property values will be affected by gas drilling and which the Democratic candidates for our Town of Delaware board have promised to protect.

|Description: Phyllis Mary Bone specialised in animal subjects in both bronze and stone and her work can be seen on public buildings in Edinburgh.Shere Khan the Tiger was inspired by the writing of Rudyard Kipling. This powerful big cat is crouching low to the ground, as though advancing on some unwitting prey. The long slender tail, muscular shoulders and menacing head have been exaggerated to enhance the awesome power of this predator. The forward motion which Bone has suggested gives the animal a sense of being on the attack, almost frozen in time as he runs. The form is sleek, aerodynamic, and filled with tension.Bone has inscribed the animal's stripes across its back, creating a rhythmic, decorative pattern which imitates how we see it in nature but without the use of colour. The stripes also create contours which give definition to the animal's lean, muscular form. The surface of the piece has otherwise been carefully smoothed, and this is in keeping with the sense of a sleek animal passing silently through the jungle. Deep undercuts beneath the belly and under the front paw add to the challenging process of casting this piece. The black patina used to finish the surface also adds to the sense of menace.The artist is concentrating on creating a powerful creature rather than thinking of representing a tiger in a more illustrative way.In Kipling's Jungle Book, Shere Khan is a lame tiger who despises Mowgli the wolf-boy, wishing to kill and eat him. He is depicted as an arrogant and wayward animal, who enjoys attacking humans for sport and who manipulates other creatures in order to get his own way. So this sculpture of a wild animal is also suggesting that the tiger has emotional qualities like a human being. An attacking tiger is terrifying enough. Do you feel this tiger is more intimidating when it appears to have motives in the same way as humans do, rather than merely acting on animal instinct?

More Cubs Roster Moves
It's been a rather busy few days for the Cubs, and really nothing good, it continues today.
Geovany Soto was officially placed on the 15-day DL, and Randy Wells has been recalled to the Cubs. Wells will pitch primarily out of the bullpen.
I mentioned earlier that Koyie Hill was signed and will start the majority of the games as Welington Castillo is unavailable with a knee strain.
It's not a good time to be a Cubs catcher. Go Cubs!

Marmol Plays Hero for Reds
It doesn't get any worse than this, 8 innings of dominant stuff from Dempster only to have Carlos Marmol come in and crap all over it. Not the first time either, as Marmol has been an absolute disaster this year. After building a 3-0 lead behind solo home runs from Castro, LaHair (what else in new), and Soto, yes Soto, the Cubs were sitting pretty. Then the wheels fell off. Marmol faced five batters in the ninth and retired none of them en route to yet another blown save. Rafael Dolis was able to keep the Cubs alive by cleaning up Marmol's mess, but the damage had already been done, on the scoreboard and mentally. The Cubs were done after Marmol blew the save, it was obvious, and the Reds made it official in the bottom of the 10th on a sacrifice fly by Rolen to win 4-3. Full box score, and highlights after the jump.
Soto's Bombs Help Cubs Overcome Poor Samardzija Start
In one of his last auditions to make the Cubs rotation, Jeff Samardzija struggled through four innings against the Rockies on Friday. The Cubs bullpen was able to right the ship, and the Cubs offense was ready and willing to take the game over. The Cubs scored three runs in three different innings erasing defecits of 5-3 and 7-6 in route to a 10-8 slugfest victory
Backup Catcher Battle Heating Up
Spring training is always a great stage for a competitive hard fought position battle, this year is no exception. Enter Steve Clevenger and Welington Castillo, the two men fighting tooth and nail for the backup catcher position. Coming into the spring I knew that Geovany Soto's backup was a position to be had for a number of candidates, I just didn't think more than one guy would stand out. Let's meet the two men vying for the position.
March 10, 2012 – Cubs Lineup vs Brewers
Geovany Soto is healthy enough to make his Spring debut today against the Brewers. The Cubs travel to Maryvale today to battle Dale Sveum's former team, and Aramis Ramirez's new team, the Brewers. Ryan Dempster gets the start today, first pitch is at 2:05 central. The game will be on WGN TV, and national league rules are back in play, so no more dh. Check back after the game for a full recap. Here's how the Cubs lineup.
1. RF – David DeJesus
2. LF – Reed Johnson
3. SS – Starlin Castro
4. 1B – Bryan LaHair
5. C – Geovany Soto
6. 3B – Ian Stewart
7. 2B – Darin Barney
8. CF – Tony Campana
9. P – Ryan Dempster

RICHLAND, Wash. – The Department of Energy is releasing the sixth chapter of The Hanford Story video series to the public today. "Plutonium Finishing Plant" provides viewers with a look at the history and cleanup of the highest hazard facility remaining at the Hanford Site.
The plant produced nearly two-thirds of the nation's supply of plutonium for the nuclear weapons program and was once the center of the bulls-eye of security and secrecy at the site. After the last shipment of plutonium left the plant in 2009, the razor wire came down, and cleanup of the plant continued in earnest.
The Department has added the video to a page on its website dedicated to the Hanford Story as well as its YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/hanfordsite.
The Hanford Story is a multimedia presentation that provides an overview of the Hanford Site—its history, today's cleanup activities, and a glimpse into the possibilities of future uses of the 586-square-mile government site in southeast Washington State. The Department of Energy is delivering The Hanford Story in a series of video-based chapters dedicated to telling the multi-faceted story of the site, including:
- The history of producing plutonium
- Impacts to the environment resulting from producing plutonium
- Progress being made in cleanup of the site
- Innovative technologies and solutions being used in cleanup activities
- Future uses of the Hanford Site.
The first chapter of The Hanford Story, Hanford Overview, received an Emmy for best Historical/Cultural – Program/Special from the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 2011.
Representatives of the Department of Energy and its contractors are available to show the video to groups and answer questions. To request a speaker or kiosk visit to your location, contact our Hanford Site Speakers Bureau on the Hanford website, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by calling (509) 376-3419.

BONN (May. 10)
The Ministry of Justice said today that it would not ban a scheduled meeting in Munich on May 21 of the HIAG, the welfare agency representing veterans of the Waffen SS, the branch of the Hitler Elite Guard which served on military fronts during World War II. Plans for the meeting were protested Sunday by the Organization of Former Inmates of the Dachau concentration camp.
Fears were expressed in Parliament that some soldiers of West Germany's army were being attracted to meetings of rightwing extremist groups. Some members noted that the Stahlhelm, a veterans group, was making increasing attempts to recruit members among the soldiers. The deputies were assured that rightwing radicalism would not be tolerated in West German forces but the Defense Ministry had no legal right to prevent soldiers from attending Stahlhelm meetings.

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market closed out the second quarter yesterday by edging higher as investors were encouraged by signs of an improving economy.
"I'm not seeing anything that's going to derail the overall upward climb of the market," said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist with Voya Investment Management. "The economic backdrop is getting better, so companies will make even more money."
Homebuilders' shares rose on the news that the number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes shot up in May. Leading the way was D.R. Horton, which climbed 75 cents, or 3.1 percent, to $24.58.
The utility sector rose 0.8 percent, making it the biggest gainer of the 10 industry sectors that make up the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
The S&P 500 fell 0.73 point, to 1,960.23. The index was up 4.7 percent for the quarter.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 25.24 points, to 16,826.60, but posted a gain of 2.4 percent in the quarter.
The Nasdaq composite rose 10.25 points, to 4,408.18, and was up 5 percent in the quarter.

Tired of this ruthless cycle, I decided to go way back to the beginning and pick up a basic cleaner, something that didn't have harsh chemicals and also didn't cost a small fortune. I picked up a no-name brand at Target and haven't had any problems since. (Full disclosure: I was in my 20s by that point, so it's possible I was already outgrowing the acne.)
Got soap?
So, what I'm saying is that I like Trader Joe's all-in-one facial cleanser. It keeps my skin clean without leaving a soapy, filmy residue. It's also got a great portion size; a little bit, once foamed up, goes a long way. I also don't feel that my skin is dry or cracked; unlike some cleansers, this is a gentle soap that is perfect for average skin.
My only quibble is that it should be in one of those "upside-down" packages, where the dispenser is on the bottom. As such, I can't tell you how many times I've almost mistaken the facial cleaner for my hand soap. Other than that, it's a great product.
Verdict: Four out of four Hawaiian-print shirts.

Report: Obama 'inured' to Israel's 'self-defeating policies'
President Barack Obama, January 14 2013 (Photo: AP)
President Obama reportedly said after Israel's announcement on the E-1 area that he has become "inured" to Israel's "self-defeating policies" and that "Israel doesn't know what its own best interests are," Bloomberg columnist Jeffrey Goldberg has reported.
Mr Goldberg wrote that while there was official condemnation of the Israeli policy following the Palestinian upgrade in the UN, it was what did not happen in the White House that was more interesting.
Mr Obama, he said, "didn't even both getting angry".
"He told several people that this sort of behaviour on Netanyahu's part is what he has come to expect", Mr Goldberg reported.
The article argued that the "dysfunctional" relationship between Mr Obama and Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu will have consequences. In the short term, the US will not cut off aid to Israel, Mr Goldberg said, and the fight against Iranian nuclear capability will continue regardless, but without movement on the settlements Israel may find itself isolated, especially in the UN.

In 'Sex and the City,' number of sex partners true to New York life (via Hot Air headlines):
Of the four women, public relations exec Samantha racked up the most sexual partners. She bedded 41 men and one woman, while Carrie hooked up with 18, Charlotte 18 and Miranda 17.
As the show begins with them in their early to mid-thirties, I imagine there is at least a decade's worth of Sex in the City that we didn't even see.
While women with digits like Samantha may keep their number to themselves, Zdrok makes the case that it's something to be proud of. "Women with higher numbers tend to be more educated, have more liberal views and higher self-esteem," she says.
I've got a Master's degree and my self-esteem level borders on "too high", so I guess it's the liberal views that separate me from women whose partners number in the triple digits.
Technorati Tags: Sex+And+The+City
At some point near the end of the show's run, Miranda says her total number of partners is 42 or something like that.
Why are you saying "ick"? Didn't you once tell me (vis-a-vis someone else, not you) that having dozens of partners wasn't unusual for a Manhattan girl?
What the hell is "Sex and the City"…. a popular novel or something?Posted by: E5 at May 30, 2008 at 11:51 am
I'm sure it's not unusual, and a dozen is different than 100.Posted by: Karol at May 30, 2008 at 12:06 pm
As I say, none of the SATC women (except Samantha) were in the ballpark of 100, I believe. And when we had that conversation, we weren't talking about "a dozen." It was several dozen.Posted by: Allah at May 30, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Allah, I didn't know you were a fan of SATC. Have you seen this parody…it's not funny, it's just weird. http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/05/sex_and_the_city_with_female_b.htmlPosted by: Petitedov at May 30, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Great line on Family Guy the other night when they were watching SATC. Dewey: "So this is show about three prostitutes and their mother?"Posted by: Jim Lesczynski at May 30, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Yeah, I'm a fan, although the show's so associated with gay culture that to admit that as a single guy is to invite endless mockery. I'm debating whether to go see it this weekend. I want to, but with my luck I'll end up at a theater where there's a news crew working on a story about how few men there are going to see it. Cue the reporter sticking a camera in my face: "Pardon me, are you gay?"Posted by: Allah at May 30, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Karol, they omitted specifying the major theese women're educated in.Posted by: Tatyana at May 30, 2008 at 1:36 pm
I have seen all of two episodes of the TV series during the show's long run, and I always thought that the characters were pathetic losers in their personal lives, no matter how accomplished they may be in their professional lives.
BTW, with bed partners in the dozens for these characters, was there ever a show about their STDs?
Considering the number of people living here who have venereal diseases that doesn't surprise me. Kim Catrall, ca. 21st century, having sex is kind of creepy though.
OT, I'm going to be appearing-barring unforeseen events-on a program this coming Tuesday (June 3rd, 7 PM) discussing the issue of illegal immigration. For all you Manhattanites it's Channel 56 and/or 83, Time-Warner, or you can watch streaming video live on mnn.org.
I would say "ick" too, but that kind of thing raises my odds a by a significant amount.Posted by: Eric at May 31, 2008 at 6:00 am

On a slightly related topic, did you ever find a bed?

Raw Vegetables More Protective than Cooked?
by Michael Greger, MD
Eating lots of vegetables every day is one of the most powerful things anyone can do to prevent a wide variety of diseases, including cancer. Researchers have been puzzled, though, why the protective effect for breast cancer has not been as strong or consistent as for some of the other cancers. Researchers in Germany may have just found a clue to the mystery.[1]
The researchers looked at the past diets of hundreds of breast cancer victims and healthy controls, and like many studies before them, they found a modest trend towards decreased risk of breast cancer development in people with the highest daily vegetable consumption. But when they broke up intake categories into raw vegetables versus cooked vegetables, they were surprised to find that women who ate just a single small salad a day seemed to cut their risk of developing breast cancer in half (compared to those who like only ate a salad every couple days) while the women eating the most cooked veggies didn't seem to have any protection from developing breast cancer at all.
Cooking reduces the availability of some of the carotenoids in vegetables like lutein, zeaxanthin, and B-cryptoxanthin, but cooking also actually increases the bioavailability of other carotenoids like lycopene, alpha carotene and beta carotene. So I encourage people to eat a variety of cooked and raw foods. Although this study did show that raw vegetables seemed to have a distinct advantage, for example, it also showed that women who ate cooked whole grain products like whole wheat bread and brown rice also seemed significantly protected from developing breast cancer.
The mechanism by which vegetables decrease cancer risk is unknown, but evidence suggests that it's immune related. Our immune system has special cells called natural killer cells, whose mission in life is to just go around killing cancer cells. Their job is to rove around the body on seek and destroy missions trying to remove any budding tumors anywhere in our body. Our mission (if we choose to accept it) is to boost their cancer-fighting abilities. That's where vegetables come in. A recent study, for example, found that those drinking vegetable juice (carrot or tomato) every day significantly increased the cancer fighting ability of their immune system.[2]
It's time for all of us to get back to our salad days of youth.
