"Gun shots rang out," said Cory Booker, Newark's charismatic mayor, during a talk at the University of Rhode Island's Edwards Hall this week.
His father, in town for a visit, froze. "And I see kids running down a hill," he said, "and I run through the kids to the screams."
Booker found a boy, blood pouring from his chest.
"I threw my hands into his chest, trying to stop blood that seemed to be coming from everywhere," he said. "This is not like a movie — glamorous violence, here. It was gruesome. Foaming blood pouring from his mouth as I tried — didn't know what to do — tried to scream, 'Call an ambulance,' stick my fingers in his mouth, hoping that he would breath again.
"It seemed like forever. I screamed his name, begging him not to die, stay with me. But the ambulance comes and shoves me out of the way and rips open his shirt and I see the gunshot wounds.
"Everything now just seemed to move in slow motion. He was dead. And I stood there . . . and looked at my father, who was horrified looking at his son."
Eventually, Booker made it home. "I go into the bathroom and I stare in the mirror and I just start trying to scrub this boy's blood off . . .
"I started crying. And I felt my heart fill up with emotions that I have no right to feel — despair and anger — and darkness just filled my soul. And I felt myself angry at a nation that feels no responsibility or remorse for what's happening every day like a drumbeat of destruction . . . Our greatest natural resource being churned up in the most disastrous ways. Why doesn't anybody care?
"Everybody coast to coast can name wealthy, affluent people who have been [killed] — JonBenet Ramsey, Natalee Holloway, any of them. But can anybody, even in this audience, name one black boy that got killed in an inner city in America?
"What kind of country have we become when we have such capacity, such potential, such greatness, such divinity, such a calling, but we have failed to solve the problems that are threatening our very destiny?
"How can my father, who is a man of hope and optimism, courage, who is a man of change, stand with me and say, 'I worry, son, that we live in an America now that a kid born into my same exact circumstances — black, poor, to a single mother, in a segregated environment — has less life chances of success than I did growing up in 1936?' . . .
"What is happening to our country? . . .
"Don't tell me we can't solve our problems. I'll take you to Newark right now. Pick your problem. There are innovations in my city going on . . . We don't need to go to Newark. I can show you any city in America and show you innovative, committed Americans who are finding ways to solve problems . . . Pick your demographic of child and I'll show you schools that are educating kids in that demographic. Pick a challenge . . .

We're still relative noobs to the genre but steampunk has been very popular in our house this past year. Together we've devoured Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy as well as Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan and Behemoth books and then separately the boys received and are working through Steampunk Gear, Gadgets, and Gizmos: A Maker's Guide to Creating Modern Artifacts and Steampunk! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories. The next logical step in our subcultural journey seemed to be a live event–which was how my older son and I found ourselves two weeks ago in Piscataway, New Jersey at the "greatest steampunk festival in the world," The Steampunk World's Fair.

"You just don't see it around," Park says. "You see horseradish sometimes, but not ginger. And it was just so beautiful when it came in, so vibrant and alive. You could eat it straight."
Most ginger comes from Asia. Hawaii is the only US state with a real commercial crop. So when I recently relocated from Oregon to Brunswick, I was surprised to find Kennebec Flower Farm selling tropical ginger — and its cousin, fresh turmeric — at my local farmers' market. But at least half a dozen farmers with that good ol' Yankee gumption here in Maine, and farther south, down the East Coast through Florida, are warming up to this novelty crop. In the Northeast, Old Friends Farm in Amherst, Massachusetts, pioneered growing ginger in unutilized greenhouses during summer through a 2006 sustainability grant from the US Department of Agriculture.
The Good Shepherd's Farm in Bremen grew the baby rhizomes (the swollen, underground stem growth) for Park in a new hoop house for the first time this season. Farmers Jessica and David Koubek dug up just over 100 pounds to also supply Morning Glory Natural Foods in Brunswick, Solo Bistro in Bath, a co-op and a sushi bar in Rockland, and Portland's Urban Farm Fermentory, which is test-brewing a batch of young ginger kombucha. "It was a nice starting amount," Jessica Koubek says. "We want to grow more next year."
The Koubeks started pre-sprouting their Hawaiian "Biker Dude" brand organic seed (which looks like grocery store ginger) in a dark, warm basement back in March, just before their third child arrived. In June, they planted the crop in the unheated high tunnel, hilling the soil as with potatoes. By August, the ginger had morphed into a mini-bamboo grove, shooting up tall green stalks with reedy leaves.
Selling for $15 a pound, slow-growing ginger is worth the wait for these farmers. In New England, ginger must be harvested young, by late October. Then it stops growing. Our soil gets too cold for it overwinter into those thicker-skinned, spicier roots.
But baby ginger has many joys. You needn't peel its delicate, pink-tipped skin before mincing or grating. You can use it whole. The flavor is mellow. Ginger grows more fibrous and sharper in taste as it matures.
Freedom Farm, which is Maine's biggest grower, sold most of their ginger — nearly 400 pounds — at MOFGA's Common Ground Fair in Unity. The rest went to Portland farmers' markets, and to restaurants, including Hugo's and Eventide Oyster Co., and Sonny's and Local 188. Farmer Ginger Dermott (that is her given name) pickles and crystallizes it as well. She also freezes its juice in ice-cube trays for single servings to drop into curries throughout the winter. Come spring, Dermott makes ginger beer by fermenting the defrosted, grated mother-roots in a "bug" of sugar and water, akin to a sourdough starter. If you want to learn more, Freedom Farm's Dermott and Dan Price will speak on growing ginger in high tunnels at MOFGA's upcoming Farmer-to-Farmer conference on November 10 at the Point Lookout Resort in Northport.

Forestry department warns about dangers of brush fires
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - The gusty wind is one reason why the Tennessee Department of Forestry is warning about brush fires -- they are seeing the numbers start to rise and are asking everyone to take precautions.
Leaves are falling and it's making people want to clean up and burn all the debris in their yards. Some are sparking fires and problems in the process. "A lot of people are out trying to clean up their leaves right now. Fires are escaping from them and getting through the woods," says Forestry Technician Steve Bingham.
Bingham is the Tennessee Forestry Technician for Sullivan County; he tells us this year 45 percent of the fires they've worked were started by people burning debris. "It's dry on top but as these few leaves are coming down off of the trees and piling up on the forest floor, there is a lot out there to burn," adds Bingham.
So far this year the Virginia Department of Forestry in our area has worked 67 fires -- in East Tennessee the Department of Forestry has worked 143 fires, and Sullivan County alone has worked 172 brush fires. "We probably have had less fires than we have any other traditional year because it's been so wet during the spring and the summer," says Bingham.
Bingham says in Tennessee anyone who burns debris, old wood, or vegetation between October 15 and May 15 must get a burn permit. They are mostly issued the day of the burn.
Bingham tells us you can never get a permit more than three days ahead of time. "If it's a bad windy day where the fire current is just high, we do not issue permits on those days. Every day before 8:00 we make that decision," adds Bingham.
Virginia doesn't give out burn permits. Bingham says if you don't control your fire, even if you have a permit you're liable if the fire spreads to someone else's property. "You will be ticketed for not keeping the fire on your property. If they have any damage to their dwelling you are responsible," says Bingham.
Bingham says on any given day in Sullivan County they issue 100 to 600 burn permits.
He says if you do plan to burn there are a few things you should do: first, get a burn permit. Never leave the fire unattended, bring a water hose to where you are burning, and make a clean line around where you are burning to keep it contained.

This medical device tax is just not going to end well
posted at 2:41 pm on November 15, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
Conventional wisdom: If you want less of something, put a tax on it. Obamanomics wisdom: Put a tax on… medical devices?! I.e., add another barrier to the industry whose slightest innovations can directly result in streamlined costs, improved efficiency, better health-care options, and saved lives? What the what?
Embedded within the shadowy depths of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (sometimes, I like to use its official name just to re-appreciate the irony of "patient protection" and "affordable") is a 2.3 percent excise tax on the sale of taxable medical devices by the manufacturer/importer — and it's no small thing. Happening now:
Medical device executives will descend on Capitol Hill today to press members of Congress to address the 2.3% medical device tax before it takes effect in January. …
"Without action from Congress, implementation of the medical device tax will cost our economy thousands of high paying jobs," MITA executive director Gail Rodriguez said in prepared remarks. "These job losses will directly impact patient access to the most advanced, life-saving medical technologies available." …
The letter includes support from physician groups, venture capital firms and other organizations asking the Senate to repeal the 2.3% levy on medical device sales, which device makers will start paying in at the start of next year.
The tax won't actually hit until this January 1st, but the repercussions are already making themselves felt in the industry. Some more startling details from industry experts, via Politico:
Medical innovation is key to providing cutting-edge, lifesaving technologies to patients. Between 1980 and 2000, new diagnostic and treatment tools helped increase life expectancy by more than three years. But the new tax will take money from our research and development pipelines, reducing our ability to discover and develop lifesaving medical devices such as heart valves, molecular diagnostic tests and MRI machines. …
Many of the novel, cutting-edge medical technology innovations come from small companies with very few employees. Unfortunately, the medical device tax will hit these small companies and startups hardest, because it will be applied on sales, regardless of whether a company is making any profit. Small businesses often suffer losses in the early years of operation when they are investing in research and development on new products. Paying a sizable new tax while incurring traditional startup-driven losses will be more than many small businesses can bear. …
This innovation tax also targets an American manufacturing sector created by companies choosing to locate in the United States even as markets grow beyond our borders. … The U.S. accounts for 40 percent of the global medical technology market. We have a $5.4 billion trade surplus because American workers create high-tech, top-quality medical devices…
And yet, this tax threatens these gains. At least three studies have estimated the tax will cost tens of thousands of jobs — by one estimate as many as 43,000 jobs.
If the Democrats' real goal with ObamaCare is really all about bringing down medical costs and improving patient care, they've sure got a funny way of showing it. The logic eludes me.
In other ObamaCare-related news, here's yet another new study confirming the oncoming disincentives for doctors to go into primary care, via ABC. …We haven't even finished writing ObamaCare — I can hardly wait to see what kinds of good times we'll have once this thing actually gets officially started.
The United States will require at least 52,000 more family doctors in the year 2025 to keep up with the growing and increasingly older U.S. population, a new study found.
The predictions also reflect the passage of the Affordable Care Act — a change that will expand health insurance coverage to an additional 38 million Americans.
"The health care consumer that values the relationship with a personal physician, particularly in areas already struggling with access to primary care physicians should be aware of potential access challenges that they may face in the future if the production of primary care physicians does not increase," said Dr. Andrew Bazemore, director of the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Primary Care and co-author of the study published Monday in the Annals of Family Medicine.

Picture the holidays: Buy vintage photos
By James M. Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Dec. 8, 2008)--UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures will offer a unique glimpse into holidays past through its historic photo archive comprised of some 3.5 million images. Researchers delved through the collection to find vintage photos that capture early family traditions and holiday celebrations in Texas.

"We see the holidays depicted in home movies and family pictures so often and that nostalgia really comes back this time of year," said Shirley Mock, ITC director of research, programs and collections.
"The holidays are a great time to remember people, events and places that have played significant roles in our lives and in our city's history. Photos are a great way to remember and share these stories and coax these memories out of friends and family members."
A selection of holiday photos have been compiled into a holiday dome show teaser, which will accompany the museum's daily dome show features. Some of the images include the Alamo and downtown San Antonio after the snow storm of 1949, the Joske's department store Fantasyland displays through the 1960s and a 1971 performance of Las Posadas at St. Francis Cabrini parish.
Greeting cards featuring the holiday photos will be available at the ITC Museum Store. Cards printed directly to card stock are $2; prints on photo paper with card stock mounting are $2.25. The inside includes the descriptions and call numbers for the images. All cards are sold individually in protective plastic sleeves and come with envelopes measuring approximately 4.75 by 6.5 inches.
A wider selection of photographs is available for viewing or purchase at the second-floor library, home to the museum's photo archive collection. Prints start at $15 for an 8-by-10-inch image. Digital images and dry-mounts for prints are available. Photo orders are typically filled within three weeks. Rush orders are available for an additional $10 per image.
The ITC Museum Store is open during museum hours, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m., Sunday. Library hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Make an appointment if visiting the library on Monday, since the museum is not open to the public that day. Admission is free to the library and museum store.
Museum admission is free for UTSA staff, faculty and students with UTSACard. Also with UTSACard, UTSA faculty and staff receive a 20-percent discount at the ITC Museum Store; students receive a 10-percent discount. Free parking is available on ITC property with UTSA parking permit.

text: Hi, I am having to buy a Suburban. Moving 1500 miles - Texas to South Florida - with 3 big dogs (oh boy!). Have choice between 1999 LT. 125k miles. Leather, great condition. $2750. Or. 2002 LT with 104k miles. Leather. All is fine except clear coat is flaking, especially bad on hood. Price is $4900. I'm inclined to go with the 1999. Aside from the paint issue, the interior quality of the 99 seems much higher, e.g., it has woodgrain. Looks like Chevy scaled back on quality between 99 and 02. Would appreciate advice, thoughts, and your smart 2 cents' worth!

Very clean and pretty studio. I found the position very comfortable as it is just 2 minutes walking from the tube station. I recommend it.
Thank Olga for your kindness and patient, we had a pleasant stay at your property.
In the future If we return London we will rent your nice apartment.
A very pleasant stay at the home of Olga, to repeat with pleasure.
On arrival was met by Lillian who showed us around the property. Very clean and well decorated and smelled very pleasant. Pictures of studio were exactly in reality. Rooms were clean and fresh, private bath, Kiitchen and mini lounge were perfect. Will definatley be staying again. Very short walk to Train Station and Free car parking close by. Even rear garden very well kept. Would recomment. Lots of toilets and bathrooms for other guests, large communal kitchen/diner. fast train to centre of london only 20 minutes. 10 out of 10. Thank you Olga & Lillian x x
I really liked Olgas accommodation in London! The apartment is very clean and tidy and in my room was everything I needed (like a hair dryer, mirror, light and so on).
I drove by metro to London for about 30-40 minutes. There was also night buses and really good public transport system.
Furthermore I was welcomed very kind and they also gave me always good advices.
Good accommodation for two with good location and transport links for London.
The apartment was very clean.It was new and it had everything necessary. The hostess even left tea, coffee, salt,etc which we very much appreciated as we arrived to the apartment very late at night and didn't have the time to do the shopping. It was very quiet and it was only a 5-minute walk to the tube station.
Excellent! Studio très pratique, proche de toutes commodités, hôte très pro qui explique bien.
Thank you!
Die Unterkunft war sehr heruntergekommen und schmuddelig. Vor allem die Küche und das Bad. Einzig die Toilette und das Bett machten einen sauberen Eindruck. Das Zimmer war gegen die Hauptstrasse gerichtet und daher sehr laut. Vor allem im Schlafzimmer da noch ein Lüftungsschacht oben in der Ecke angebracht war. Wir hatten vom Lärmpegel her ständig den Eindruck mit offenem Fenster zu schlafen.
Die Underground Station ist 5 min zu Fuss zu erreichen, jedoch hat man sicher 35 min bis zum Zentrum.
Ausserdem Befindet sich das Appartment im islamischen Teil der Stadt mit Minarett und islamischen Läden, was man evt. auch wissen sollte.
El anfitrión fue muy correcto y nos proporcionó todo la información que necesitamos. El estudio estaba muy limpio y ha sido una estancia muy agradable. La conexión con el centro de Londres está muy bien, la parada del metro está a unos pocos minutos. Aunque está al lado de las vías de tren, no hay prácticamente ruido.

Independent Liquor rumoured to be looking at bottle store operator The Mill.
Speculation is growing in the drinks industry that Auckland's Independent Liquor is looking to make a move into retail through buying one of the largest bottle store operators, The Mill.
Sources say rumours are afoot that the Papakura-based manufacturer - which brews international beer brands such as Carlsberg and Kingfisher under licence but is best known for pioneering the development of Australasia's RTD market - is in talks about acquiring the retailer, or that a deal may have already been struck.
Independent chief executive Julian Davidson said he "wouldn't like to comment" on whether the company was in the process of buying The Mill, but that no sale had taken place.
According to its website, The Mill is the largest independent liquor retailer, with 35 stores from Whangarei to Dunedin plus an online shop.
Independent, which is at the centre of a stoush over the $1.5 billion price tag Japanese brewer Asahi paid for the business in 2011, was scoping a range of acquisition opportunities, particularly in the craft beer space, Davidson said.
"We're looking at lots of things in the market, but I wouldn't like to comment specifically on [The Mill]."
Davidson would not rule out the prospect of the company moving into retail.
"Anything is possible," he said.
The Mill is owned by New Plymouth-based Christopher and Nyall Simkin, according to the Companies Office.
Its website says the firm opened its first store in Taranaki in 1993 and the business had been successful as a result of low overheads and reduced prices.
Asked about the acquisition speculation yesterday, Nyall Simkin said "there's nothing to talk about at the moment at all".
One source said The Mill was a big discounter and if the acquisition took place Independent's customers - other retailers - might not be happy with the manufacturer stepping on to their turf and undercutting their prices.
"You would be seeing a heavy discount producer getting together with a heavy discount retailer, which seems like a nasty cocktail."
Local brewing giant Lion owns the Liquor King chain of bottle stores.
The fact that Independent - which bought a small Nelson craft brewery just before Christmas - continues to express an interest in local acquisitions shows Asahi has not been put off by the alleged "deceptive conduct" it says took place when it bought Independent.

great apartment lived up to expectations. The area is nice although a bit far from the center, but public transport makes it easy.
I recommend!
Lovely apartment and great location!
7 ladies, 60 yrs +, lived in the apartment for one week. We are very satisfied with its location and the nearness to the bakery shop and the butcher close to our entrance.They supplied us with good products for our breakfast.
It was a little more than 10 minutes walk to the Old Town.
The apartment is well equipped, but we missed an extra towel per person when we stayed as long as one week. The service of your office in Miodowa street was very good with helpful personell assisting us.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper
Perfect location, city center (for us) in walking distance. Well connected by public transport. Clean and very efficient appartement, bedroom looks at quiet court yard. Absolutely to recommend for younger couples / families (staircases up to second floor).

Global Exchange Event
Carmencita "Chie" Abad will discuss the horrible working conditions she endured in the U.S. territory of Saipan while making clothing for the Gap. In her struggle to unionize workers, she was forced to leave the island and is now working to educate Americans about inhumane factory conditions occurring worldwide, including on U.S. soil. Chie will tell her audience what they can do to help eliminate sweatshop abuses occurring worldwide.
In countries around the world, millions of people, mostly women, toil in sweatshops to make the clothes on our backs. These women work dozens of hours per week, enduring verbal and sometimes physical and sexual abuse to make the shirts and shoes that end up on retailers' shelves. They earn only poverty wages, and their efforts to improve their situation are often met with repression. At the beginning of the 21st century, our clothing is made in nearly the same conditions as in the 19th century.
Carmencita (Chie) Abad knows first-hand what it is like to work in a sweatshop. Chie spent six years as a garment worker on the Pacific island of Saipan, in the US Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. During that time, she endured wretched working conditions, frequently working 14-hour shifts in dangerous conditions in order to meet arbitrary production quotas. Chie worked for the Sako Corporation, which made clothes for the Gap, among other major US retailers.
After suffering the island's intolerable living and working conditions for years, Chie attempted to organize Saipan's first garment worker union. When the factory management learned of her organizing efforts, managers began an intense campaign against the formation of a union. They threatened employees that they would shut down the plant and, in general, intimidated workers, frightening them from supporting the union. The eventual union-certifying election was lost by only five votes.
Because of her attempts to organize employees at the factory, Sako management retaliated by refusing to renew Chie's year-long work contract for the first time. To prevent the loss of her job, Chie took her case to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC was then able to obtain a preliminary injunction in federal court in October 1998 that prohibited Sako from firing Chie while the commission investigated the retaliation charge. Outraged by the treatment she had received, in January 1999 Chie chose to come to the US to expose the harsh reality of Saipan to the American people.
During the last four years, Chie has served as a tireless advocate for the workers in Saipan and other sweatshop seamstresses around the world. Her passionate advocacy on behalf of garment workers has not been in vain: In September 2002, 26 major retailers settled a class action lawsuit targeting working conditions in Saipan. The landmark settlement provides back wages to workers and creates a monitoring system to prevent further abuse.
As Chie's experience shows, when people stand up for their rights, they can win.

A Canadian judge for the first time ruled that a Muslim woman could not wear a niqab in giving testimony concerning a sexual assault case since it violated the right of a defendant to face his accuser. The case pitted issues of religious freedom vs. against the rights of a defendant. The lawyer for the Muslim woman argued a sexual assault trial was traumatic and she had a right to feel comfortable which meant she had the right to wear her niqab. He noted, a court should "respect religious rights and practices that bring comfort to a witness." She emphasized that showing her face to a man she would not marry made her feel uncomfortable.
The judge discovered the woman had a driver's license in which she is not wearing a veil. it is difficult to forbid a person charged with sexual assault from not being able to see the face of the accuser. He also has rights to a fair trial and not allowing her face to be shown impairs his rights. If the woman was willing to show her face on a driver's license it is difficult for her not to show it in a court of law.

All of my colonies made it through the winter and three of the 4 are thriving. The fourth is sluggish (slow to take in syrup and not many bees foraging compared to the other hives) and I plan a thorough inspection tomorrow. Assuming the queen is alive and laying what are my options for helping this colony out? I won't have fresh queens until May so requeening isn't an option until then. Would putting a few frames of brood from one of my other hives in help? If so, should they be frames of capped brood?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Dennis. He explained to us all calm and information about restaurants, supermarkets and metro. Also during our stay we got lots of tips from Dennis and we could with all our questions contact him. The apartment is very convenient to reach. Highlights all soon We have no time felt unsafe in Harlem. In fact there was a pleasant atmosphere. The people were friendly and helpful. About the apartment: it is large, about 19 feet long and all amenities are available, even a washer and dryer. Bed was firm and we slept well. The 119th street is quiet and only one way. We went to the Bronx zoo and that is also recommended, in addition to all the familiar things. You got off to a monorail to explain a lot riding because it is a large park.
Bij aankomst werden wij hartelijk ontvangen door Dennis. Hij heeft ons alles rustig uitgelegd en informatie gegeven over restaurantjes, supermarkten en metro. Ook gedurende ons verblijf kregen we veel tips van Dennis en konden we met al onze vragen bij hem terecht. Het appartement is zeer gunstig gelegen om alle highlights snel te kunnen bereiken. Wij hebben ons in Harlem geen moment onveilig gevoeld. Sterker nog er hing een aangename sfeer. De mensen waren vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
Over het appartement: het is ruim, ongeveer 19 meter lang en alle voorzieningen zijn aanwezig, zelfs een wasmachine en droger. Bed is stevig en we hebben goed geslapen. De 119e straat is rustig en slechts eenrichtingsverkeer.
We zijn naar de Bronx zoo geweest en dat is ook een aanrader, naast alle bekende dingen. Je hebt daar een monorail om een stuk rijdend af te kunnen leggen, want het is een groot park.
The home of Dennis was perfect. Apartment beautiful, comfortable in a very quiet family, a little outside the 'fury of the city', which is great after a day of ballads. Very easy access to the metro. In short, a place to recommend ... Completely. Marianne and Leo (Belgium)
L'accueil de Dennis était parfait. Appartement magnifique, confortable dans un quartier calme très familial, un peu à l'extérieur de la 'fureur de la ville', ce qui est très agréable après une journée de ballades. Accès au métro very easy. Bref, un lieu à recommander... Totalement. Marianne et Léo (Belgique)
We were absolutely satisfied with our stay at Denis' Harlem Hideaway. Everything was like expected and even better. Denis is a very kind guy who obviously enjoys hosting people. He was very supportive during our stay and provided us with information not only about the obvious attractions the city has to offer but also shared his knowledge on the more off beaten tracks. Unnecessary to mention that he provided the keys for the apartment at the time and place agreed upon. Moreover, he offered the possibility to store our bags until we left for our departure late in the evening. So we had one more full day to enjoy without worrying about our luggage.
The place itself is a small but cozy studio which is warm furnished. A lot of extras are provided as NYC guidebooks a hub for mp3 players soap shampoo and towels. Denis even provides mascara and a hairdryer as standard equipment. So no need to bring it with you! There is a fully equipped kitchen and a fridge if you feel like cooking.
The apartment is located in a nice and vibrant part of Harlem, just a few blocks from the North entrance of central park. Supermarkets pharmacies and anything you are possibly in need of are just a stone's throw from there. It seems to us that the neighborhood is very safe as the host confirmed as well. Moreover, the apartment is very quite due to its location in a calm side street where it faces a backyard. The location is perfectly connected to the subway and you will make in about 15 min to Times Square on a direct train.
All in all we had a perfect stay at the Harlem hideaway. The only thing you could possibly nag about is the size of the bed. Since it is a not kingsize it might be a bit small for some persons. But again, we didn't see that as problem and would definitely recommend this place.
We enjoyed a great stay in New York. The studio is perfect, it´s beautiful styled and very calm. You find everything you need for your stay. The studio is situated in a small street with nice old houses and trees. Everything is near by, good restaurants and bars and a supermarket. A subway stop is round the corner. and with the express trains all main points of Manhatten and Brooklyn are easy to reach. Dennis was very kind and helpful. For our next stay in New York we will rent this wonderful studio again.
Cozy and clean, great location for its proximity to metro stations. The area is well served by pubs and restaurants.
Luogo accogliente e pulito, ottima posizione per la vicinanza alle fermate della metro. La zone è ben servita da pub e ristoranti.
I had such a great time in Harlem Hideaway, the room was fantastic, very cozy, nice and clean. The host was very kind and his hospitality was one of a kind.

A new Mayo Clinic study shows that the type of surgeon and the type of hospital have a significant influence on long-term outcomes for patients who undergo surgery for rectal cancer.
The study, published in Cancer in May, looked at the characteristics of hospitals where people got their surgery, the surgeons who performed them and how those affect long-term survival. Most surgery for rectal cancer in the United States is performed by general surgeons. Only a minority of patients have their operation performed by a surgeon with subspecialty training in colorectal surgery.
The study found that patients who had surgery from a colorectal specialist had better long-term survival compared with those who had their operation performed by a general surgeon. Those patients who had their operations performed at National Cancer Institute designated Comprehensive Cancer Center also had significantly better outcomes.
"There really is an enormous burden on patients to find the right place to have their operation," says David Etzioni, M.D., Mayo Clinic colorectal surgeon and lead author of the study. "A lot of times the pathways by which patients find their surgeon are very informal and it may not always serve the patient well."
Researchers looked at records of more than 6,400 Medicare beneficiaries treated in the U.S. at more than 830 hospitals. The study points out that choices regarding treatment are complicated and are not always directly related to an estimation of outcomes. The geographic distribution of colorectal surgeons and NCI designated hospitals is imperfect -- most are located in large urban centers. Patients who don't live in these areas are faced with a difficult decision, whether to receive care locally or travel to specialist surgeons or specialty hospitals.
"The upshot of this study is that patients, providers and payers who are interested in better long term outcomes should be directed to surgeons and hospitals with a focused expertise in rectal cancer treatment," Dr. Etzioni added.
Rectal cancer is diagnosed in more than 40,000 people per year in the United States, and accounts for approximately 14,000 deaths.

Can we all stop freaking out about the no hatch rumor? Until it's confirmed, there's nothing to worry about.
Remember the iPhone 4S? We were all 100% positive then iPhone 5 was coming out next then BLAM! iPhone 4S.
Mods, can we merge a few of the comments from the 2014 thread on to this one? I think there has been some overlap.

Starting Position: Stand facing a row of hurdles (the hurdles should be spaced so they have an equal distance between each hurdle). Start with the left leg forward and right leg back, right arm forward and left arm back (you can alternate this starting position, but be sure to have the opposite arm and leg forward). Lean forward, hinging from the hips to prepare for the run. Explosively push off with the front leg while rapidly lifting the back knee and swinging the back arm forward to generate the forward momentum. This is a running drill.
As you plant your foot in the space between the first and second hurdle, explosively drive the back knee up to create a ninety-degree angle at the hip. The opposite arm is driving up and forward. The arm movement swings from the shoulder not the elbow.
Continue running through the hurdles, planting one foot at a time between each hurdle. With each step, driving the knee upward and the opposing arm forward. The trailing arm swings back to extend the shoulder. This will help give you more acceleration through the drill. With each step try to pick up the knees as high as you can to ensure that you are able to clear the hurdles as you run over them.
Exercise Variation: Start with planting one foot between each pair of hurdles and progress to being able to place two feet in between each pair of hurdles (double time).
Maintain a tall posture with straight spine by engaging the abdominals (bracing) during the drill.

Born 1900 died 2004. Raised an incredible family (google Roy pitkin md for an example). Our neighbor, she was always there for us in good times and bad. No holiday at our home was complete without her. Introduced my parents and was helping in the delivery room when I was born. Gave our 5th grade class the news that jfk had died. I Had the privilege of attending her 100th birthday where we discussed all things current when she wasn't talking Twins baseball with my son.

Email Marketing
TXD has been providing email marketing services for 5 years; a period of time when the popularity of email marketing has soared with brands such as Topshop etc regularly using email to communicate with customers.
Marketing, Design, Microsites and Lists
There are lots of reasons but here are our top three:
- It's cheap and environmentally friendly. There's no paper involved, so no printing or delivery costs which also means no trees cut down and no lorries polluting the air!
- You can track the success of your marketing. For example our marketing system Power to Market can tell you exactly how many emails were opened and how many people clicked on links in your email!
- The 'viral effect'. As bad as it sounds it's actually a very good thing! If people receive a good email (e.g. with a great offer in), they will forward it on to their friends, meaning your customers do your marketing for you and it reaches people who would be otherwise out of your reach.

Keystone XL North: TransCanada's Controversial Shale Gas Export Pipeline Plan
Steve Horn | January 22, 2013
By Steve Horn • Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 13:38
The battle continues over the future of TransCanada's Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, with the Tar Sands Blockade continuing and a large forthcoming President's Day anti-Keystone XL rally set to take place in Washington, DC.
In a nutshell: Keystone XL, if approved by the U.S. State Department, will carry viscous and dirty tar sands crude - also known as diluted bitumen or "dilbit" - from Alberta, Canada down to Port Arthur, TX. From Port Arthur, the tar sands crude will be exported to the global market.
Muddying the waters on the decision is the fact that The Calgary Herald recently revealed that prospective Secretary of State, John Kerry, has financial investments in two tar sands corporations: Suncor and Cenovus. Kerry has $750,000 invested in Suncor and another $31,000 invested in Cenovus.
Which of course all begs the question: Is this another episode of State Department Oil Services all over again?

1) You just released some new mash-ups. What's your creative process? Also, any chance we can get you to guest DJ a Punk Rope mash-up class?
I keep my ears open for interesting tunes, from any genre. I'll scan through radio stations when I'm driving, or listen to the music playing in restaurants. I keep a folder of potential mashup tunes on my laptop, and I play through those when I'm working on something. There's even a few songs in there that I heard in Punk Rope class – I'm still trying to do something with "All The Young Dudes." And I would love to be a guest DJ for Punk Rope!
2) You've played bass for high profile musicians such as Ray Charles and Barry Manilow. What was it like to tour with those guys? Any good gossip?
Ray was very demanding, with an amazing ear. He could hear if the 2nd trombone player was out of tune, and he would call him out for it, on stage. The first couple months of the tour were really challenging – I was still figuring out what he wanted. After that, it was easier. It was a great way to see the world and learn from one of the greats. Barry's tour was smoother – the music wasn't as difficult from a bass-playing perspective, and the touring wasn't as brutal. He's a truly nice guy, super-smart too. He would get the Sunday NY Times in whatever city we were in, and do the crossword puzzle in half an hour. He told me that several times he's been one of the clues.
3) You've been an avid Punk Roper for around a year. What attracted you to the class in the first place and why to you keep coming?
I read about the class on the blog for the Hype Machine, one of my favorite music web sites. It sounded fun, and different than anything I tried before. I have a terrible track record of unused gym memberships, so I was hoping to find something I could stick with. Once I came, I was hooked immediately by your welcoming attitude, the friendly vibe in the class, and the music, which is not the usual stuff I listen to. I consider that a plus!
4) You work as a composer of music for TV commercials. What are some of your favorite ads you've worked on?
It was really fun writing the music for the MnM's commercial "Nothing Rhymes With Orange". The song had to change genres every few bars, which was a good challenge. And it gave me the chance to work with Megan Mullally, who's amazing. I'm also proud of "Buried Treasure" for SSGA. I like writing in retro styles. I tried to make it sound like an authentic French tune from the 60's.
5) We had the pleasure of jumping one evening with your two boys. They're great kids, which made it clear that you're a great dad. How do you balance all the competing demands in your life to be the best dad possible?
Awww, thanks. When I'm with them, I really try to be present, which is not always easy with all the distractions available for both kids and grown-ups. One thing that helps is that they share some of my geeky interests. We'll be at Comic Con and Maker Faire this year, for example.
6) If you could only jump rope to one song from here on out what would it be?
This may be an unlikely choice, but I remember during a Broadway-themed class, you played "Age of Aquarius". Something about the tempo, and the cowbell playing on the quarter notes really kept me going. If I can pick an alternate, it would be Clapstero by Pilchard, an odd but very groovy mashup of The Clapping Song, Ravel's Bolero, and Toxic.
7) Anything else you'd like our readers to know about you?
Well, I'm starting a new project, and I really need a soulful, gospel-influenced female singer – Jennifer Hudson-ish. Know anyone?

The mother of 24-year-old Jeffrey Savoy, who fatally stabbed another son, John Coddington, in Sept. 2012 wept throughout Savoy's sentencing this morning in New London Superior Court.
Savoy had pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, accepting the state's offered sentence of 11 years in prison followed by eight years of special parole.
Lisa Coddington, the mother of both the victim and his convicted killer, was too distraught to address the court. Victim Advocate Beth Ann Hess handed Coddington a box of tissues and spoke on her behalf.
"She wants everyone to realize she lost one son to death and another son to jail," said Hess. "And now the kids' mom is considering moving away for a new start, so she'll lose her grandchildren as well."
Savoy, a slight man with dark curly hair, turned to his family members and apologized before Judge Hillary B. Strackbein imposed the sentence.
"I just want to apologize to everyone," he said softly. "It was an accident. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it."
Another brother, Tyus Lawrence, told Savoy he forgives him. Also present was a sister, Latisha Knight, who is charged with interfering with the police investigation after Savoy went to her home following the stabbing.
Prosecutor David J. Smith said it was a tragedy for everyone involved. He noted the mother was sitting next to Coddington's girlfriend in court, even though the girlfriend, Kimberly Bewlay, had told court officials that Savoy should serve a longer sentence - "a life for a life," she said.
"You can see how complicated and intertwined a situation it is," Smith said.
Defense Attorney Theodore Koch said he could feel all the pain in the room.
"Jeff told me from the beginning he didn't mean to do it," Koch said.
According to the state, Savoy and Coddington argued after Savoy took Coddington's two young children from his home at 231 North Main St. in Jewett City because Coddington and Bewlay, were arguing, pushing each other and spitting in each other's face. Savoy put the kids into Bewlay's Dodge Durango, dropped them off at his sister's house and returned to Coddington's residence later to pick up clothes, according to a police report.
Coddington came out of the house swearing, and the encounter turned physical. Savoy allegedly took out a knife with a 3-inch blade. Bewlay said Coddington told Savoy, "Don't pull a knife on me. If you want to fight, use your hands. I'm your brother."
Coddington ran from the home, bleeding and calling for help, to the nearby Bestway gas station and convenience store. He was pronounced dead a short time later at The William W. Backus Hospital.
Savoy admitted he was a drug addict and had been high when he stabbed his brother. In court, Savoy's mother told her son he has to know that "drugs destroyed his life."
Judge Strackbein said society is filled with people whose lives were ruined by drugs.
"Drugs are not victimless crimes," she told Savoy. "You're a victim of drugs. Your brother is a victim of drugs. You have to stay straight and try to make up for what you've done."

Posted by David Johnson on December 9, 2011
7:30 AM, on Monday, December 5th, 2011, flight 1052. As I took my seat in Southwest Airlines' "Business Class," otherwise known as the exit row, I gave a nod to my new seat mate and noticed his MacBook on the tray table. He was reading something on his iPad and set it down for a second to send a text message from his iPhone. Now there's a Kool-Aid connoisseur, I thought. "Going to Salt Lake or beyond?" I asked. "Salt Lake. Gotta visit some customers, and after that I have to go to Boise to train our western region sales team."
And so the conversation began. I learned that his name is Jamie, he is in sales, travels every week, loves his job and his company, and is the top sales performer. $3M in quota last year and his secret sauce is knowing his customers' businesses better than they do, and delivering value with every interaction. He said, "Last week I had a meeting with a new prospect for the first time, and they couldn't believe I showed up without slides, and we spent the meeting talking about their situation instead of throwing up all over them about what we do." Jamie is a HERO. His world revolves around delivering customer value, and he has neither the time nor the patience for anything that gets in the way.
Naturally, I asked him some questions about his MacBook Air and the applications he uses. His answers, while fascinating, echo what I hear from many others like him:
Q: How do you like your MacBook Air?
A: I love it.
Q: Does your company issue those or is that one yours?
A: Hell no! It's mine! They gave me a huge Dell.
Q: Where is it?
A: It's in the closet at home, still in the bag.
Q: Does your company support the Mac?


text: It's been a long times since I've posted or even got on here, looking to get back into it. So I'll start of with sharing a quick story. It was back in mid Feb. when me and two buddys where in south Ga at my hunting land tearing up some dirt roads with my new Nitto tires. Well long story short we probably shouldn't of been driving around that night & I pushed my luck to far and when I hit this small puddle my truck slipped of into the ditch sinking it up to the black plastic trim on the door. We can't open the doors now cause where leaning up against the bank. It's 1 A.M. & we have no one to come pull us out. Let's just saw my truck saw some red lines that night and will not be hitting any small mud puddles on the side of the road. Still a month later I still I'm getting mud out of places you can't even think of mud being. - - - Updated - - - The airintake photo was at least 3weeks after the truck was sunk.

Story highlights
- Qantas tops list of safest airlines
- Last year was safest for flying since 1945
- Kazakh and Afghan airlines have one-star ratings
- Worst crash last year was in Russia
Flight-phobics, relax -- a list of the world's safest airlines has just been released.
Top of the ranking from AirlineRatings.com of the safest carriers in 2013 is the Australian airline Qantas.
Awarding it a full seven stars, the website cites the airline's fatality-free flying record from the beginning of the jet era in the early 1950s.
Other airlines sharing the seven-star rating and winning a place among the top 10 safest airlines are, in alphabetical order, Air New Zealand, All Nippon Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Eva Air, Royal Jordanian, Singapore Airlines and Virgin Atlantic.
Safest industries
Commercial aviation is one of the most heavily monitored industries in the world and statistically the much-cited comparison bears out: you are much less likely to die in an airplane crash than in a car accident.
Indeed, the number of fatalities last year was at a record low, according to the Aviation Safety Network (ASN).
Many airlines go for years without experiencing significant safety incidents, let alone a crash.
There is thus often little to distinguish the largest and most reliable carriers apart from a safety point of view.
Of the 448 airlines AirlineRatings.com surveys, 137 have a top seven-star rating.
Along with fatality crash records and audits from aviation governing bodies, the website takes into account the quality of the "in-flight product" airlines offer -- including in-flight entertainment, seating and food -- to determine their ranking.
Concentrate on the movie
Nonetheless, it's useful know some of the airlines to consider booking if you'd prefer to concentrate on the inflight movie rather than rejigging your last will and testament in your head.
Probably not among them, however, is Scat, the unfortunately named Kazakh airline that shares a one-star ranking with the Afghan Kam Air and the Surinamese Bluewing Airlines.
All are on a list of airlines banned from flying within the EU.
Quite what the one star is for isn't revealed -- perhaps just getting off the ground.
It's certainly not for brand name development in the case of Scat.
Of the carriers awarded two stars, three are from Indonesia and one each from Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, Eritrea and Myanmar.
The United States doesn't blacklist individual airlines, but it does make public a list of countries, including Indonesia, that it judges to fall short of international aviation safety standards.
Record year
Dubious names and rankings aside, nervous flyers should be breathing easier. Last year was the safest for flying since 1945, with 269 deaths from 29 accidents, the ASN records.
That compares with a far higher 10-year average of 719 fatalities and 32 accidents annually (involving planes with a minimum passenger capacity of 14).
"The average number of airliner accidents has shown a steady and persistent decline," said the ASN president, Harro Ranter, "probably for a great deal thanks to the continuing safety-driven efforts by international aviation organizations."
However, the picture is uneven worldwide. With one-fifth of all fatal airliner accidents but only around 3% of global aircraft departures, Africa remains the least safe continent for flying.
Yet the worst accident last year was in Russia. A Tatarstan Airlines Boeing 737 from Moscow to Kazan crashed and exploded into flames on landing on November 17, killing all 44 passengers and six crew aboard.
The Russian carrier receives only four stars from AirlineRatings.com because of its failure to complete the "critical" International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit.
Airlines that have completed the audit have a 77% better safety record than those that haven't, the website reports.

How I Won Him Back!
"I was nervous to ask my friend if I could date his brother. Knowing I had to tread lightly, I told him I thought his brother was attractive, and I wanted to get know him better. I was so shocked that my friend was cool about it! He said he appreciated me being upfront about it and just telling him what was going on." —Ashley, 19, CA
Tip: If you're going to go for a friend's brother, honesty is the best policy. Be upfront and clue your friend in on how you're feeling. They'll be glad they heard about it from you, and not someone else!
"When I dated my best friend's cousin, once everyone got over the initial awkwardness, we all started hanging and doing things together. It actually ended up bringing us all closer together— they used to just be cousins, and now they're actually friends!" —Dana, 21, NY
Tip: Dating a friend's family member can have some sneaky benefits, like how it brought everyone closer for Dana. If you're all open to the relationship, you may be surprised at what can happen!
