Dominican heart readmits lower than average
Readmission rates for heart failure patients at Dignity Health Dominican Hospital are among the lowest in the nation, according to Becker's Hospital Review.
The publication listed Dominican as one of 47 hospitals in the country with a 30-day heart failure readmission rate at or less than 19 percent. The national average is 23 percent.
"Care for our heart failure patients doesn't end when they are discharged," said Dr. Jay Johnson, Dominican Hospital cardiologist and chief of staff.
He said Dominican informs patients about medications and symptoms and uses follow-up phone calls and nutrition counseling to help them manage their condition at home.
Heart failure is a slow, progressive disease often diagnosed when a patient is admitted to the hospital for an unrelated reason.

Reports that both Apple and Samsung are being probed by EU anti-trust regulators aren't entirely correct: while they have been approached for information, it is Samsung that's under the microscope.
Levelling the field
In a statement today, Europe confirmed previous reports of an anti-trust investigation, saying requests had been sent to both Samsung and Apple. News media have taken this to mean that Apple is also being probed, this is not correct.
The investigation is exploring the "enforcement of standards-essential patents," according to the EC statement on the matter.
However, Apple has no patents which are included within the 3G standard; only Samsung has these.
Regulators are exploring to find out if Apple is correct in its accusation that Samsung is demanding unreasonable fees and terms for use of its patents, patents which are meant to be made equally available under FRAND licenses.
Samsung should be FRAND-friendly
Florian Mueller at FOSS Patents "definitively" says that neither the EC statement, Samsung's reaction nor Apple's court filing, "provide any reasonable statement that Apple's own behavior is being probed." More background one what is going on is available here.
Think back to development of the UMTS/3G standard and you can see that Apple was not involved in wireless devices or development o f mobile payments. Only Samsung owns patents which relate to these technologies, and it is that company's alleged way of handling Apple's licensing of these patents which is in question.
What this means:
Apple makes a phone with 3G support. To deploy 3G in its phones it must secure licenses for the various technologies included within the 3G standard. Some of these technologies come from Samsung, and have been made available for license by friends and competitors alike -- that's the point of the standard.
Apple says Samsung has been demanding onerous terms for use of these technologies -- this is in contravention of the standards agreement.
[AT ISSSUE: Does Samsung offer RIM and others the same 3G licensing terms it is attempting to agree with Apple?]
Open for business
Mueller notes: "In my view, FRAND patent holders can ask for reasonable compensation, but they are not allowed to overcharge or to shut down products as long as an alleged infringer is willing to take a license on FRAND terms (if there actually is an infringement of valid patents). That view was also shared by a judge in The Hague, Netherlands, who dismissed a Samsung request for a preliminary injunction and held that Samsung had failed to honor its FRAND licensing commitment."
This is important. If Samsung is able to overcharge competitors for use of patented technologies rolled inside the 3G standard, then it will corner the market for devices running 3G. This could see Microsoft or RIM targeted in such a way in future, effectively limited evolution of the mobile market.
If competitors cannot deploy these standardized technologies in their devices then their phones will no longer be phones.
The 3G standard was developed by ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. It is interesting to note that European regulators have previously investigated ETSI to ensure the organization is not involved in such preferential licensing schemes.
Interesting times
My take? With products banned in several territories and primarily negative judgments or findings in so many of its cases worldwide, Samsung appears to be standing on thin ice in its courtroom battle with Apple.
News that Europe's tough regulators are now investigating the company can't be so good for Samsung executives, especially as they watch billions of dollars of Apple's business slowly marching from its doors.
To be fair, it is too early to predict what Europe's regulators will decide in this case, but if Apple is able to prove that Samsung has been egregious in its demands for use of these FRAND patents, then Samsung could potentially face huge fines and restorative action.
While it has become the world's largest smartphone vendor (in the most recent iPhone transition quarter), has this been worth it to deliver low price smartphones using an Android OS which is itself target to a wave of litigation; and which exposes its manufacturing partners to multiple unknowns, not least the threat of being asked for backdated patent licensing fees?

Just Like Heaven by The Cure Songfacts
This song is about a dreamy day near the seashore with a loved one. Lead singer Robert Smith was brought up in the town of Crawley in Southeast England, which is about 40 miles from Beachy Head (a cliff and notorious suicide hotspot).
Suggestion credit
Wim - Brussels, Belgium
According to
Rolling Stone
magazine, this was cut at a vineyard in the South of France, and is Robert Smith's favorite Cure song. The band's girlfriends hung out at the sessions, which influenced the music: "The girls would sit on the sofa in the back of the control room and give the songs marks out often," Smith said. "So there was a really big female input."
The version released as a single was remixed by Bob Clearmountain. He has worked with The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen, among others.
The video featured a cameo by Robert Smith's then girlfriend and soon-to-be wife, Mary.
Suggestion credit
Richard - Alva, OK
The original demo of this song was titled "Shivers."
In the November 2003 issue of
magazine, Robert Smith said: "In 1987, my wife, Mary, and I lived in a small two-bedroom flat in North London. The other room was my music room. Just about the only discipline I had in my life was self-imposed. I set myself a regimen of writing 15 days a month; otherwise I'd have just got up in mid-afternoon and watched TV until the pubs opened, then gone out drinking. I knew as soon as I'd written it that it was a good pop song.
Although I didn't realize it at the time, the structure is very similar to 'Another Girl, Another Planet,' by The Only Ones, which I can still vividly remember hearing on the radio late at night in the mid-'70s. The main difference is that as the song progressed, I introduced some different chord changes, which give it that slightly melancholic feeling. The song is about hyperventilating - kissing and fainting to the floor. Mary dances with me in the video because she was the girl, so it had to be her. The idea is that one night like that is worth 1,000 hours of drudgery."

Magnus in Stockholm,Sweden is incorrect. It is about one night of pure love being worth the pain after wards. If you read their 2 official biographies *one where Robert & the band helped the author write the book like a diary with every member having their say. It covered the first 10 years of the cure's career all the way back to grade school. (The books title is "Ten Imaginary Years"-Robert wrote the book with the help of a friend & it was released in 1988-It is the Official biography. His name is on the cover as the author, another good source is another authorized biography of The Cure-Never Enough by Jeff Apter in 2005, another good book is "The Arm Chair Guide to The Cure" that notes who is on every song,vinyl/cassette/cd/dvd, the band explains what the songs meant or why they were written ext.)And the girl in the video is his girlfriend soon to be wife. He had been in a relationship Mary since age 14. He met her at a school dance and despite what Magnus writes, Robert & Mary did not lose their virginity together the first time they met. He wanted her at first b/c she was the prettiest and most popular girl at the all girls school next to the all boys school Robert attended. He wanted to prove he could get her because all the boys wanted her. But he fell in love.
April - Houston, Tx
Esta canción me recuerda a una novia que tuve que murió. El mar significa la muerte. La muerte se llevó a la única chica que amé y la ahogó tan dentro de mí. Lamento no haberme dado el tiempo para demostrarle cuánto la amé.
Betto - Ciudad De México, Mexico
My favourite song in the World, has been since I was 14. We're having it as our first dance song at our wedding.
Lily - London, United Kingdom
Robert Smith is a very good footall ( soccer )player and could of turned professional after trails with Manchester united, he chose music, good choice.
Marc - Liverpool, United Kingdom
So beautiful...
Phoebe - Belchertown, Ma
excellent song...reminds me of a girl I like a lot...I will show her the trick the makes her laugh...waiting for her to run away with me...
Marcelo - San Jose, Other
Anyway this is def. one of the most awesomest songs ever...I am getting married in December and I want this to be my wedding song, the lyrics are beautiful and the mood is fun....it really makes me think about what it was like when I first started dating my fiance..like the excitment of those beginning months in a relationship where u get the butterflies = ) Anyway any suggestions on the best wedding song version of this song. The original is perfect but we need to sllooowwww dance to it
Danielle - New York, Ny
this song is.. just... i dont know it just get me into it that song is so original, its about him and his girlfriend, its just sad when he notices shes gone i just cry in taht part, but i loved it , it rocks!
Jazmin - San Bernardino, Ca
Katie Melua has done a cover of this song and it is fantastic. Her soft guitar work combined with her rich smoky voice make this a must hear.
Greg, st. croix virgin islands
Greg - Christiansted, United States
The bands Taking Back Sunday and Gatsbys American Dream do fairly descent covers of this song, the Taking Back Sunday Version is pretty rare and an all acoustic version.
Brian - Rochester, Ny
1- There is a new movie with the same name and a new slow version of the song. It's not too bad.
2- I have also heard Robert SMith himself admit to "altering the truth."
3- I seem to remember hearing something about this song being about a girlfriend commiting suicide and the boyfirend wishing he did, too; because he missed her so much.
We'll never know.
Scott - Philadelphia, Pa
I love this song, 'cos it was feature don Donnie Darko one of my fave movies, love it love it love it love it and and love the band<3
Helen - A Two Stroy Oxo Cube
The best cover of this song was done by Dinosaur Jr., without a doubt.
Cameron - Mesquite, Tx
This is the kind of song women wish their guys would write for them. He obviously doesn't have to be singer, just the thought of such a hopeless passion penned is enough to woo me out of my shoes.
Amanda - Port-of-spain, Other
This song
is what got
me into The Cure!
Black - Toronto, Canada
Lots of metaphors in this one,sounds like a ficticious situation. Sounds like his girlfriend jumped....maybe after 17? years of marriage he secretly wishes she would jump!!!
Craig - Dunedin, New Zealand
Another excellent cover of this song is done by a gal named Charlotte Martin. It's a piano solo and really captures the essence of the song.
Nick - San Francisco, Ca
Goldfinger does a decent cover of this song.
Jerry - Palm Harbor, Fl
well, i love the video and the song.!!
Jon-michael - Augusta, Georgia, Ga
i once saw a cure tribute concert where AFI played an amazing cover of this song
Zach - Norman, Ok
this is my favorite song
Josh - Phoenix, Az
Robert Smith is also a well known liar. The song is about his wife, then girlfriend.... he had been dating her since he was fifteen... and while he admits the song, and the video are based on real-life occurances, he DID make up the part about meeting Marry at beachy head...
J - New Cumberland, Pa
The song is about the first time he met his wife - to be.. That time he met a mysterious girl and spent the night with her on a cliff watching the ocean. In the morning she was gone and Smith walked home alone and wrote the song. TEN - FIFTEEN years later (!) she pops up meeting him somewhere and later they marry.. This is a wellknown songfact and i actually recall hearing Smith mention the thing on an interview somewhere (:

Local Students take on Immigration Debate
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Immigration reform is a big debate in Washington with millions of people in the country illegally. Some argue in favor of a path to citizenship, others argue that the U.S. needs to control its borders.
The debate is taking front and center at Xavier High School in Palm Desert this week as part of its annual school summit. Students are choosing to focus on the controversial issue by holding conversations, assemblies, and activities to better understand the social, political, and economic impact of immigration.
One of the activities included students having to carry visas or green cards in order to get into school.
"On my way down here my friends and I got stopped because we didn't have our green card and it was very inconvenient. I mean I feel like this is at school, and it's like people feel like that every day," said Xavier senior Valeria Ruiz.
More than 40 million foreign-born immigrants now live in the United States and make up for more than 13% of the population. There are an estimated 11 million people in the country illegally.
"This is a big issue for our valley, Coachella valley. We have a lot of migrant workers here and I think everyone in the valley has pretty much come from somewhere," said Jimmy Tricco, Director of Campus Ministries and Student Life at Xavier High School.
Tricco helped organize the event.
"There's obviously a lot of suffering and brokenness that could take place with immigration. People are forced to sometimes to leave their homes, they're seeking a better life, and we wanted to get to the root of that," he said.
Student Aba Saman's parents migrated from Egypt. The topic he said is certainly hitting close to home for him.
"It is important to realize that this is a real issue and I'm just excited to see how it affects other cultures not only mine," he said. "Whether your for immigration or not, this is a global issue and people need to be informed," he added.
Valeria Ruiz said she's learning an important lesson.
"It's good because its bringing up what it is in real life, its very controversial and it's a real problem," she said

I feel like most paths to the Olympics are more difficult to figure out than Netflix's business model but the route Coleman Scott took to London really took the cake.
Seriously, read this, I have five times and I'm no closer to a conclusion of how he actually got there than I was when all I knew was "hey, OSU dude beat a guy and now he gets to wear the red, white, and blue across the pond at the beginning of August."
And really, that's all you need to know. That, and his match had to be at one of the coolest venues a wrestling match has ever been held 1.
Also, OSU kept its 88-year streak of never having missed the Summer Olympics alive.
Here are some cool pics of the event…

Cooler Master CM Storm Reaper Gaming Mouse Review
Gaming is full of enjoyment for most people and there is so much variety to please anyone. We have our casual games that get played on mobile devices, such as angry birds and candy crush. Those are certainly entertaining for short periods of time. But in my opinion nothing beats crushing your opponent in an RTS or relieving the stress of the day by kicking butt in your favorite first person shooter. Then of course there are those who enjoy the MMORPG, while it can sometimes be like working an awesome second job, they certainly have a variety of things to do that will please many different gamers.
To dominate though you need to have some skill and it doesn't hurt to have the right tools for the job. For PC gaming that means having a decent keyboard and mouse. One that is comfortable for those long gaming sessions. It doesn't hurt to have a non-slip grip and plenty of extra buttons to program and for certain types of games the ability to write macros. The CM Storm Reaper has everything and more so I want to refer to it as the Grim Reaper of gaming mice, helping you to reap souls in your favorite game… at HiTechLegion

Expert Advice
Lesson in Lineage: Color Dreads How To
Hair: Gustav Mendoza
Photography: Roberto Ligresti
Make-up: Teresa M. Brown
Fashion styling: Carlton Jones
"There has been a mystery about clipper cutting for years because most stylists are taught one way with clippers. We cut hair at zero. It cuts the shortest and most uniform, but creates lines. To eliminate a line, tilt the clipper to leave the teeth at 90 degrees. This half cuts and half texturizes. At 180 degrees, you are using the top of the blade for texture only. By altering the clipper angle, you can go from solid and blocky to a look that flows." —Gustav Mendoza
This "Color Dreads" technique creates gentle vertical color dimension on otherwise fl at color. Vertical sections are color alternated to bring shine and movement all tied together by a brighter colored cat-eye section over the natural parting. This alternative to traditional highlights offers even more opportunities.
"This color design can be strong or subtle," Mendoza says, "determined by the color selection. In this case, I am alternating two copper shades in the 'dreads' so it is not outrageous, and using a strawberry blonde in the cat-eye which serves as a tasteful overlay to blend."
For the cut, Mendoza trimmed the hair using a clipper. "This really is a magical tool," he says, holding up the clipper. "Not only can it be used to create a clean line, but in the hand of a skilled artist, you can get traditional and untraditional textures."
1. Section hair in quadrants, leaving an isolated "cat eye" shape over the natural high side parting. The cat-eye spans to 2 inches at the widest point.
2. Begin the color in the back right quadrant. Take 1-inch diagonal sections and apply color from base to ends. Two shades are created: medium copper blonde (7C) with 10 volume alternated with a copper neutral (equal parts 6N and 7C) with 10-volume developer. Continue to alternate these two shades in the back two quadrants, twisting each "dread" and securing with a jaw grip to separate.
3. Now go to the isolated cat eye and place 8RO (strawberry blonde) with 20-volume developer in foils. Place in ¼-inch subsections, and isolate in back-toback foils.
4. Process at room temperature for 35 minutes. Rinse and condition hair.
5. To cut, comb the hair as it is to be worn. Bring down all the hair from the occipital and cut to desired length, using a clipper without a guard, cutting as you would with shears.
6. Then take the hair from the crown and pull straight up. Cut straight across at a length to leave long layers.
7. Now connect the lengths with the shorter top, cutting across the top of the head. Blend forward until the hair no longer reaches.
8. Direct the front side section forward and cut to leave a face frame. Blend back, elevating, and cutting to connect the top with the lengths.

The musical project of writer/producer Richard Leigh Tyler who was born in Baltimore, Maryland but resides in the suburbs. His music pays homage to such dynamic artists like Ministry and Skinny Puppy but is much heavier more towards the sounds of Slayer and Lamb of God. He also experiments with different genres like techno, hiphop, and even country. While his music has no audible lyrics, the words he writes for for each song are generally autobiographical, such as his newest joint "God is Cruel" where he describes his continued failure with relationships. Other topics include drug abuse and thoughts of suicide. http://www.myspace.com/junkiesneverdie

Use the computer to model an epidemic. Try out public health policies to control the spread of the epidemic, to minimise the number of sick days and deaths.
This problem provides a context from DT (designing an object for marketing) for formulating a mathematical model and investigating it. The investigation could be done by hand (as in the solution), or using a spreadsheet. More advanced students could be encouraged to use an algebraic approach.
A good place to start is by drawing the coils of rope on square paper. Doing this should lead to discussion about assumptions which need to be made, such as:
The drawing can then be used to investigate how the dimensions of the finished mat increase as additional sections or coils of rope are added - learners will need to decide whether they want to focus on the number of coils as each new rectangle is formed, or the number of sections of rope.
Compare the analysis of rectangular mats with a circular mat constructed in a similar way. To compare which design is more economical requires finding the length of rope needed, to see which requires the least. This could be done by argument - that a circular mat of a given diameter will require less rope than a square mat of the same length. Alternatively the circular mat
could be modelled as a series of concentric circles.
Have rope or thick string available for learners to experiment with.


text: Hey guys, I got a 02 wrx w/ approx 75k on it. I am a tech for Ford so by no means I am I unfamiliar w/ many automotive problems but I am puzzled by one that has happened to me a few times now. On my subby I will check the oil, and it will be hardly on the bottom of the dipstick, one even not visable. This was enough to freak me out. Both times I added about .5 to 1 quart to the system to bring it to the L mark on the stick so I can drive it to work and check it out. When I check it after work the dipstick now is showing that .5 to 1 quart overfull..... As for the obvious questions, yes the car was perfectly level when I checked it both times, I don't see where in the system oil could be retaining. Has anyone else had this problem, or had a solution? I recently read that the oil line has a screen in it going to the turbo, although I keep a good oil change interval I wonder if somehow that line was not draining back to the pan with the engine off, don't think that possible though or my turbo would be toasty.

Why the Customer Is The Most Important Factor In Direct Mail Marketing
Published March 31, 2014 | By dmpbblog
When planning a direct mail marketing campaign, it is quite easy to get carried away with the latest direct mail trends and technologies. However, what you really need to think about before anything else is what is going to make you more appealing to customers and prospective customers, and most importantly, what will make them want to pick up the phone, take a look at your website, visit your store, or even just send you an email for more information about what you have to offer. In many cases, new direct mail trends are completely unoriginal pieces of advice that simply take something old and tested and present it as something brand new and shiny.

Completed in 1638, the Westerkerk stood between the Keizersgracht (the Emperor's Canal) and the Prinsengracht (the Prince's Canal). It was intended not only as a neighborhood church for the inhabitants of the elegant canal-side houses, but also as the principal Protestant church of the city. The church tower is still the tallest in Amsterdam.

Like everyone (I know!) - want to delay facial surgery as looong as possible. may be a face lift cream will do the trick.
Do Face Lift Creams Really Work?
Doctor Answers 37
Facelift creams
Funny you should ask. I actually did a study (published in Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery) demonstrating that two of the more popular creams do not work. We used pre/postoperative photos to measure facial wrinkles, and asked surgeons (who did not know which were before/after) to rate for wrinkles. We also had some patients use placebo (plain moisturizer). No differences were found.
In general, we recommend patients cleanse, moisturize, and protect their skin. The product(s) you use for this do not matter as much as the fact that you take the time to do these daily. Avoid the sun. Don't smoke. All of this wil help you.
Web reference: http://drmost.com/faclft.html
"Facelift creams" hydrate the skin but don't do much else.
Facelift creams are usually filled with moisturizers and help to "plump" the skin because the tissue is more hydrated. To think of it another way, you could eat 2 bags of potato chips and experience the same amount of tissue swelling and it would "firm" or "tighten" the skin because of swelling. (No, I'm not encouraging people to eat potato chips.)
In order to have a real, long lasting effect you need a procedure of some kind. This needs to be determined through a consultation with a surgeon you trust. Options include laser resurfacing, facelift, other laser treatments (Smartlipo), or soft tissue fillers. Talk with someone that has all of those options available to them, otherwise you may not be offered one or more of those procedures if they don't perform them.
I have a bridge in Brooklyn....
Facelift creams do not work, period. They might moisturize and make your skin tingle and feel a little firmer for a few hours, but they will not lift your face.

Face lift creams do not work. They do not lift he skin or soft tissues under the skin. They do not augment the soft tissue loss in the face.
Facelift in a cream
Delaying surgery is not necessarily a bad idea but the most expensive thing you can do is buy a facelift cream over and over throughout the years (since it's not going to do anything). Nowadays there are many options like Botox or Fillers that you can do to maintain a youthful appearance. Skin care alone can make a world of difference and in fact will improve your facelift result once you decide to do it.
Keep us posted,
Doctor Meade
Creams can help you avoid plastic surgery
Of course you knew already that no "facelift cream" exists.
However creams can do several things. A good aggressive skin care regimen, usually provided through a doctor's office is a great start. Retin A or similar product (tailored to your skin type) is a great adjunct. Regular microdermabrasions in a doctor's office help greatly. All of these, when combined with sun avoidance, sunscreen, avoidance of yo yo weight gain/loss patterns and avoiding smoking can make the skin look dramatically better than if these steps were not followed. The difference can in fact be profound.
While genetics play a role, the difference between a patient who follows all the steps above and a patient who violates all the rules can literally be the difference between needing a facelift and resurfacing vs. not at age 45.
The effect of "face lift creams" is minimal and very temporary
Everyone is always looking for something easy or quick to replace the gold standard of the facelift. Many creams and potions are advertised that claim to have equivalent effects as a facelift. Just think about it for a minute. How could a cream lift the skin? Most of the products contain hydrophilic (water loving) molecules which cause the tissue to swell. When you have swelling of the skin, the fine wrinkles do improve, but this effect only lasts as long as the swelling. This is truly not equivalent to a facelift. Now, on the other hand, there are creams such as Retin-A, if used over several years before your skin atrophies, may help improve the structural integrity of the skin. However, in the end, none of these are replacements for surgery.
I hope this is helpful.

Facelift Creams
Facelift creams do not work, simple as that. The actual procedure (facelift) smoothes loose skin on your face and neck and decreases visible signs of aging, such as deep cheek folds and jowls. Different variations of facelift may reposition deeper tissues and underlying fat in order to restore a more youthful contour to your face.
Incisions are placed within the hairline and in the natural contours in front of and behind the ears. Modified (limited) incisions can also be done to correct only the lower face and neck.
After facelift surgery some degree of bruising and swelling will occur as well as temporary numbness in the face and neck. Makeup can be worn a few days after the procedure and patients are often back to work within two weeks.
Web reference: http://www.theartofplasticsurgery.com/wps-face.htm#1
Do face "lifting" cremes work? No.
A face lift is surgcally placing tissue back where it sould be. It recreates the proper anatomy. Creames simply cannot do this. They can make the skin softer and nicer looking. They do not lift.
Web reference: http://www.jjrothmd.com
Creams Are Not Surgery
Unfortunately nothing beats the results of a surgical procedure if that is what you need. For some people, facial creams can improve skin color, texture, and decrease some fine lines and wrinkles. They will never replace a facelift though and if you read the fine print on most commercials or advertisements, it will say that the results are not as great a surgical procedure.

Kravitz eyes mansion that tobacco built
Page Tools
New York: Two eras of wealth and celebrity look set to collide on a corner of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan as the rock star Lenny Kravitz negotiates a deal to buy a $US50 million ($66 million) eight-storey mansion owned for more than a century by the Duke family of tobacco barons.
Kravitz has made repeated visits to the Duke Semans Mansion on the corner of Fifth and 82nd Street, the last private house to have its own front door on the world's wealthiest street.
The signs are that Kravitz will keep the 1858-square metre mansion, built in 1901, although it would also be the headquarters of his music business and a new architecture company, Kravitz Design.
Three potential buyers have shown interest in 1009 Fifth Avenue, with its commanding view of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park.
Assuming they can fund the towering asking price, the estimated cost of repairs will eat up a further $US10 million.
The Beaux Arts-style building, with pitched roof and elaborate bow windows, has been put on the market by the present head of the Duke family, Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans, 85.
Her family is heir to the American Tobacco Company, founded by Benjamin Duke in the 19th century. His granddaughter Doris, who died in 1993 at the age of 80, was Mrs Semans's cousin.
"No matter how much money you have, there will never be another chance to buy a building like this on Fifth Avenue," said Paula Delnunzio, of the estate agent Brown, Harris, Stevens and Co, which is handling the sale. "It is unique in so many ways: the last intact family mansion of Millionaires' Row."
The agents refused to discuss Kravitz's interest and his spokesman in Manhattan, Carlene Donovan, also refused to comment. But Mamdouh Nasr, an ice-cream seller who has parked his van on the corner for 28 years, offers his own conclusion.
"I seen this guy Kravitz come in two times myself, for a long time, too," he told The New York Times. "Why would he do that if he doesn't want to buy?"

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Primaxin IV FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
PRIMAXIN I.V. is generally well tolerated. Many of the 1,723 patients treated in clinical trials were severely ill and had multiple background diseases and physiological impairments, making it difficult to determine causal relationship of adverse experiences to therapy with PRIMAXIN I.V.
Local Adverse Reactions
Adverse local clinical reactions that were reported as possibly, probably, or definitely related to therapy with PRIMAXIN I.V. were:
Phlebitis/thrombophlebitis - 3.1%
Pain at the injection site - 0.7%
Erythema at the injection site - 0.4%
Vein induration - 0.2%
Infused vein infection - 0.1%
Systemic Adverse Reactions
The most frequently reported systemic adverse clinical reactions that were reported as possibly, probably, or definitely related to PRIMAXIN I.V. were nausea (2.0%), diarrhea (1.8%), vomiting (1.5%), rash (0.9%), fever (0.5%), hypotension (0.4%), seizures (0.4%) (see PRECAUTIONS), dizziness (0.3%), pruritus (0.3%), urticaria (0.2%), somnolence (0.2%).
Additional adverse systemic clinical reactions reported as possibly, probably, or definitely drug related occurring in less than 0.2% of the patients or reported since the drug was marketed are listed within each body system in order of decreasing severity: Gastrointestinal - pseudomembranous colitis (the onset of pseudomembranous colitis symptoms may occur during or after antibacterial treatment, see WARNINGS), hemorrhagic colitis, hepatitis (including fulminant hepatitis), hepatic failure, jaundice, gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, glossitis, tongue papillar hypertrophy, staining of the teeth and/or tongue, heartburn, pharyngeal pain, increased salivation; Hematologic - pancytopenia, bone marrow depression, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia; CNS - encephalopathy, tremor, confusion, myoclonus, paresthesia, vertigo, headache, psychic disturbances including hallucinations, dyskinesia, agitation; Special Senses - hearing loss, tinnitus, taste perversion; Respiratory - chest discomfort, dyspnea, hyperventilation, thoracic spine pain; Cardiovascular - palpitations, tachycardia; Skin - Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, erythema multiforme, angioneurotic edema, flushing, cyanosis, hyperhidrosis, skin texture changes, candidiasis, pruritus vulvae; Body as a whole - polyarthralgia, asthenia/weakness, drug fever; Renal - acute renal failure, oliguria/anuria, polyuria, urine discoloration. The role of PRIMAXIN I.V. in changes in renal function is difficult to assess, since factors predisposing to pre-renal azotemia or to impaired renal function usually have been present.
Adverse Laboratory Changes
Adverse laboratory changes without regard to drug relationship that were reported during clinical trials or reported since the drug was marketed were:
Hepatic: Increased ALT (SGPT), AST (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, and LDH
Hemic: Increased eosinophils, positive Coombs test, increased WBC, increased platelets, decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit, agranulocytosis, increased monocytes, abnormal prothrombin time, increased lymphocytes, increased basophils
Electrolytes: Decreased serum sodium, increased potassium, increased chloride
Renal: Increased BUN, creatinine
Urinalysis: Presence of urine protein, urine red blood cells, urine white blood cells, urine casts, urine bilirubin, and urine urobilinogen.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Taiwan's Fair Trade Commission has fined Apple approximately US$670,000 for its attempts to influence phone pricing set by distributors and service providers in the region. According to a statement from the commission, Apple was forcing at least three carriers to submit pricing plans for iPhone ahead of offering the devices for sale:
"Through the email correspondence between Apple and these three telecom companies we discovered the companies submit their pricing plans to Apple to be approved or confirmed before the products hit the market," it said in a statement.
The report adds that Apple could face an additional fine of NT$50 million (around $1.7 million US) if it doesn't change its current methods of negotiating iPhone pricing plans with carriers: expand full story

Now, a new report from Mercury News claimed the U.S. Federal Trade Commission is considering whether to fine Google over the incident. The decision is expected in the next 30 days:
The Federal Trade Commission is deep into an investigation of Google's actions in bypassing the default privacy settings of Apple's (AAPL) Safari browser for Google users, according to sources familiar with ongoing negotiations between the company and the government… Within the next 30 days, the FTC could order the Mountain View search giant to pay an even larger fine in the Safari case than the penalty the Federal Communications Commission hit Google with Friday, say the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The report is referring to Google being recently fined $25,000 by the FCC after it allegedly "deliberately impeded and delayed" an investigation related to Street View cars. The heart of the Safari bypassing investigation is whether the company is violating a previous privacy agreement made with the FTC following controversy over the failed "Buzz" service. The report claimed Google could face up to $16,000 per violation per day for violating the agreement. Google said to Mercury News today it would "cooperate with any officials who have questions" and explained making its +1 compatible on mobile Safari created the issue:

Apple plans to appeal a decision by Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato to impose $1.2 million USD fine for not providing consumers with a two-year warranty mandatory under European Union law and the Italian Consumer Code. An Apple PR representative apparently confirmed the decision to appeal the fines to The Register.
We reported earlier this week that Italian antitrust authorities were fining Apple Inc., Apple Sales International, and Apple Retail Italy $1.2 million USD related to "bad commercial practices that harmed consumers." The Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato claimed Apple has not implemented a two-year product guarantee available to all consumers through EU law. Instead, Apple continues to push their own AppleCare warranties to consumers without indication of the consumer's rights to the free two-year guarantee.
The Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato asked Apple "cease practice" of their current warranty policies, and "notify the Authority" of a new course of action. They also want Apple to publish clarification of the new policy on Apple.com to notify consumers. It is unclear if other authorities throughout the EU will take similar action.
Apple is also accused by the European Antitrust Commission of engaging in "illegal agreements or practices that would have the object or the effect of restricting competition in the EU or in the EEA" related to their iBooks business.

I admire what Lin has done and he's a good player with great heart, but he has ways to go. Do I still think that we can upgrade the PG position even with Felton? Absolutely, no question.
Printable View
With Harden having the ball 60% of the time with the Rockets, Lin is pretty much used as a spot up and shoot guard. The Rockets are wasting their money. The Knicks would have been better off with Lin than Felton though.
Lin is still young and has a lot of room to improve. His 3 point shooting was abysmal last season, but second half and on he was shooting close to 40%. The way he plays looks ugly, but he does have a really quick first step. Personally, I think he might be better off as a 6th man.
Full schedule here: http://knicksnow.com/posts/3793/knic...dule-announced
glad we signed tyler. i think he's got a lot of potential.
One big thing Felton has over Lin is health. Lin was in and out of the line-up in HOU all season because his body just couldn't hold up. Felton, throughout his career, has shown to be able to stay on the court.
One thing though is that Felton was relied on too much to be a scorer, and particularly in big games where teams dared him to drop 20, he generally failed at that. He needs to be the 4th or 5th scoring option on the team, not the 3rd. Presumably, he'll be that now behind Melo, Stat, JR and Bargs.
I believe in Game 6 vs. the Pacers, he was 0-7 I think. But that shouldn't be his role anyway.
I am perfectly fine with Felton, he's not the best out there but he's good enough to be a starter. I think Lin is still learning the position, but he's a streaky player. Felton is not as streaky.

It is a blending of writing, presentation and drawing tools. It is conceived to help the users in their presentation for better explanation on the screen. It is useful for professionals, teachers, parents, students as well as novice. This product saves 90% of expenditure in using paper, color and writing accessories. This tool ensures utter satisfaction in users in their teaching and learning process. It is also used in day to day life at home and office. Now a days hardware is undergoing rapid changes within a short period of time and new hardware with advanced facility is coming up. So people waste money by being attracted by alluring product without looking for long term solution. We are providing most interactive and low cost solution which serves as the substitute for traditional Blackboard and digital Smartboard. Some companies have only multimedia CD or static videos having less than 2 hours of contents. They do not cover all contents of all the subjects of school syllabus. Static videos cannot be modified by the teacher according his/her own way of presentation. Their solutions do not cover all teaching sessions, all chapters of all subjects for the whole academic year. Through Virtual Blackboard, teachers can teach with their own ways or methodologies. Thus they have flexibility in their own way so that they will feel more confident in class. Otherwise, imitating other's digital content will need more time for the teachers to learn and teach in the class. It will help the teachers in easiest way to teach course contents period-wise, covering all working days of the academic session and it will record all class sessions for student use. Today the environmental pollution and degradation has been the most burning global problem. Everywhere throughout the globe, there are brainstorming debates how to reduce the global increase in pollution and warming. If we calculate, how much paper is wasted in a school and the whole nation and at large throughout the globe per year, is simply unimaginable! To think how many trees are being cut to make paper, is so horrible! So is it not our duty to think of an alternative solution which can replace pen and paper and save the environment from destruction? Use Virtual Blackboard software and redefine the new way of writing and drawing without pen and paper. Go green and save the environment.

Two Marines Hospitalized After Motorcycle Wreck
ONSLOW COUNTY - A fiery motorcycle wreck hospitalized two Camp Lejeune Marines Sunday afternoon.
The scene was Highway 24 at Haw Branch Rd., near Richlands.
Troopers say the Marines were going west on the highway about 3:15 p.m., when Tyron Parker pulled out in front of them in a GMC truck.
James Pricket, 26, rear-ended the truck, and Pricket's motorcycle caught fire, trooper said.
Pricket was airlifted to a hospital with critical injuries.
The other Marine, 23-year-old Guadaloupe Torres, ran off the road.
He was taken to a hospital with less-serious injuries.
Troopers say speed was a factor, and everyone involved will be charged.

A flood victim confronted David Cameron on Friday claiming that her village had been abandoned to the storm by the authorities, amid growing anger over power cuts.
The Prime Minister, who praised the emergency services on Friday for doing an "amazing job", appeared rattled when he was taken to task by Erica Olivares live on television during a visit to Yalding in Kent, which has been hit by serious floods. He later tweeted that people in the village had had a "tough Christmas" but had "shown real spirit".
Mr Cameron called on councils, energy companies and insurers to "help people recover from the terrible shock" of the storms over the past five days. An estimated 1,200 homes have been flooded over the festive period, while the Energy Networks Association (ENA) said around 4,000 properties were still cut off in the UK today.
Scottish Power said Thursday night's storms, in which winds peaked at 100mph, caused power cuts to at least 28,000 homes in Wales and Scotland.
In Yalding, Mr Cameron told residents there was much to do. "We need insurance companies to get round so the loss adjusters can help households," he said. "We need the council to get round with skips so people can get their carpets and furniture removed. We need to get the power back on, and we need to learn the lessons." The Prime Minister added that the Government was spending more on flood defences over the next four years than over the past four years. He said more than "80,000 houses [were[ protected this time, but we've got to do more".
But Ms Olivares appeared unimpressed and, in a heated discussion, she told him: "We still have no electric. We need electric. As I say, the council, from Monday, we have been trying to contact them, but they have all decided to go on their holidays. Nothing."

Mr Cameron, who posted pictures from Yalding on his Twitter account, offered to take a look at the damage to her house and personally talk to the council on her behalf.
Shadow energy minister Tom Greatrex attacked the Government and energy companies for leaving some people without power for five days, saying they should be "working round the clock to get everyone reconnected, especially with warnings of more bad weather on the way".
"People need to know what is going on. The energy companies must ensure they are providing proper information and support to all households without power – and not leaving people's calls on hold for hours on end," he said.
He added that if the power supply is not urgently restored the Prime Minister should "seriously consider convening Cobra" to ensure everything possible is being done.
While many in Yalding complained they were not adequately warned of the floods, Geraldine Brown, chairman of Yalding Parish Council, said people had been told of the floods on Christmas Eve but some were too "pig-headed" to leave. She said the village's emergency plan "worked brilliantly" but residents had relied on Sea Scouts with canoes to be rescued as the Kent Fire Rescue Service was unable to reach the village in time.
Helen Grant, Conservative MP for Maidstone and the Weald, which covers Yalding, said the community was pulling together. In one case, an elderly woman stranded on the top floor of her house had her Christmas dinner winched up to her in a bucket.
Tony Glover, a spokesperson for the Energy Networks Association, said the number of houses without power was being reduced as the flood water began to drain away. "There will be pockets of people we can't reach straight away, but the aim is to get everyone back on by tomorrow who have [had no electricity] for the past few days," he said.
However, he added that if the weather got worse it would make it harder to reconnect power. "We don't want anyone to underestimate the difficult situation this has been but thankfully the floodwater is beginning to drain," he said.
Weather watch: More heavy rain on its way
Saturday and Sunday
The Met Office forecast two days of "quite nice" weather with sunshine and scattered showers, although temperatures will fall to a below average 4-6C for much of the country.
A band of heavy rain is expected to sweep west to east across the country from northern Scotland to southern England from about 6am. The Met Office has issued a severe weather "yellow alert" because of rain for South-west England in the morning. "With ground already saturated over much of this region, the public should be aware of the risk of further local flooding," the Met Office said.
Most places should be dry by about 6pm. Forecasters predict winds will gust at speeds between 20 and 40mph.
A second band of heavy rain is forecast to move across the UK from the west and it could still be raining in the South-east as the new year begins. Wind gusts of between 30 and 40mph are expected.
The Environment Agency said it was monitoring the situation and would take a decision about issuing flood warnings closer to the arrival of the two bands of heavy rain next week. "Our teams have been working hard this week on dealing with the flooding and we're preparing for the other bands of rainfall that are going to come through," a spokeswoman said.
"We're advising people to continue to stay safe and be aware of what to do before, during and after flooding."

KRISTEN Stewart has apparently confirmed she "will get married" to Robert Pattinson, despite reports she's been taking joyrides with Rupert Sanders..
The actress and her on/off beau were recently pictured looking loved-up at the Coachella music festival in California.
The 23-year-old was allegedly overheard telling her friends during the event that their relationship could be about to take a very serious turn.
Stewart reportedly also told the group that the "commitment ring" she was sporting at the festival was a gift from her Twilight co-star, given to her as a birthday gift and as a symbol of their future together.
"[Kristen was overheard saying], 'Rob and I will get married,'" a source told British magazine Grazia.
"Kristen wants Rob to understand how committed she is. They've had a pretty tough time of it, and it's been a bit touch and go, but Kristen wants Rob to know that this is for life as far as she's concerned. Rob is yet to propose, but the commitment ring is a sign of how far the've come."
The couple have had a turbulent time since K-Stew's affair with married director Rupert Sanders was revealed last year. After an initial split, things between Kristen and Robert were rocky, but sources state they are now ready to settle down together.
"Rob and Kristen have really turned a corner. Kristen is doing everything she can to show him how serious she is," the insider continued.
"Rob and Kristen are working on moving forward. In the past, it was Rob wanting to settle down, and his dream is to get married in England. Now, Kristen's ready to show she wants the same things as he does."
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old has been spotted climbing into the passenger side of a car that looks very similar to the vehicle owned by Rupert.
The actress was snapped on Sunday night at Malo Cantina in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, getting a ride home with her friends after a night out.
Not only did the car look like the director's black Acura, but the driver himself bared a striking resemblance to Rupert as well.
Hollywood Life has since reported that the mystery man was simply a valet driver.
"That man is a driver, a valet driver", an eyewitness told the gossip website.
"After he drove the car to the front of the parking area, he got out and the two young women in the photo got into the car. That young girl wearing glasses, Kristen Stewart, got into the passenger's side. She is a regular here and very friendly."

Crazy Chic
In which I have an intervention
I had an intervention. It happened to me. I didn't know I had a problem, but my nearest and dearest sat me down over the weekend and let me have an earful.
"Your hair needs to go," one said. "You don't look like Bron with long hair," said another. "I saw some of you latest pictures, and you looked - well - old," said another.
"We're going to cut it," said the hairdresser who also happens to be my best friend.
It was six against one, I was the odd one out, everyone else wanted me to get the chop.
"But I've only just started growing it!" I yelped.

What to wear: New Year's Eve
I'm all dressed up. Well, I was all dressed up yesterday, with nowhere to go. So I went home and swept out my carport while still wearing my party outfit. A lady walked by and stared - apparently I was a "well dressed sweeper". I should bloody hope so!
But then I'm the woman who dresses up to do the household chores. Hair wrapped in a turban, hoop earrings in and mouth lined with red lipstick, I dance and sing to Beyonce and other colourful divas. I figure if you have to do some rubbish jobs in your life, you may as well feel fabulous doing them. Same goes for New Year's Eve. Anything in life that has so much expectation and wind-up involved always ends up crappier than you imagined it to be. Sorry kiddies. Which I'm sure is why people dress up for the big occasion - at least you'll still look good whilst vomiting in that gutter and realising that another year has just gone by and you're yet another year older and no more sensible for it.
But not to put a downer on an already down event, I'm really here to talk about what one might wear to an event (or events) like this. It's a time to put your glad rags on, feel festive, find a random boy and snog him when the clock strikes 12 and then never see him again. A party frock is a party frock, right? It is if you have a penchant for skater dresses so short that they flash your bits. Personally I like to think outside my box and look to the runways not the skating rink for inspiration. And at a time like this when New Year's is about to come rolling by, I'm thinking texture. Tassels, feathers, raffia, tulle, sparkles, lace, I don't care as long as it's not boring.
Because in a time and place where the majority of skin about you will be covered either in drapings of Karen Walker or in lashings of Glassons, it's nice to know you tried to look different. Provided nobody else who reads my blog is at your New Year's party, that is. So without further ado, I give you three textural looks for a festive event:
How to get free shoes
Every now and then some stupid mistake happens that ends up turning into something awesome that ends up being useless to you but wonderful for others. Know what I mean? Probably not. I'll explain.
Also known as "how to get free shoes", it's an activity that you should definitely try at home, though I can't guarantee the results. I ordered these heels on Asos a few weeks back, perfect, frivolous specimens of fabulousness. I grinned and giggled as I hit the Buy button on my keyboard - it was the best $90 I'd ever wasted - like pubic hair for your toes. Ten days later an Asos box arrived on my doorstep. I was on my way out with a friend so I squealed and grabbed the box and rushed into her car simultaneously tearing the packet open and yelling "You won't believe how awes...what?" They weren't my shoes. There was no pubic hair to be seen. I had instead been sent a pair of River Island high top wedge sneakers, in metallic no less.
River Island sneakers accessorised with gangster chain. Because it seemed right at the time.
I was gutted. Not because I hated the shoes, but because they weren't my shoes. The sneakers they sent were actually really cool. The next day I took the shoes to work. Pissed off about having to spend $20 to send the order stuff-ups back to the UK, I was about to trudge to the post office when my flatmate texted me: "There's a parcel here from Asos." Inside were my shoes, the ones I actually ordered. So had I accidentally bought and paid for a pair of River Island sneakers? Checked my bank account, no. They just sent someone else's order to me by mistake.
Diary of a Canine Model
Hi, Toby here.
She gave me the opportunity to guest-blog today, because I'm thinking of starting my own blog. It's about time I flexed my paws and branched out in my career a bit, I think. As Eva Longoria told my mum, who told me, even celebrities no longer have all their eggs in one career basket. They do it all, ya know? Eva has her acting, her failed restaurant, her Obama-following fundraising commitee and her L'Oreal contract, and I'm a model. And a shopper. And cafe hopper. And soon to be blogger, I hope.
A bit of background on me - I'm a long-haired Jack Russell with a designer hairstyle, and I'm a model. I did quite a bit of work in Wellington, but since I've moved to Auckland my career has really taken off. I mean, all the agencies and great photographers are here (though Maarty at the Dominion Post will always be my fav for taking my best picture, plus he tickles that perfect spot behind my right ear).
My career started off as it does for many fashion royalty spawn - from going to shoots with my Mum. I was attracted to the camera from a pup and would try to kill the flashing creatures (I later found out it was the flash going off - man I was lame), and often ended up in shots. My first big break was modelling alongside Top Model winner Danielle Hayes in the Dominion Post Fashion Mag. They also shot me for the cover, but the stupid editors decided they wanted the girl on the front instead of me. Laaayme. Especially seeing as poochy couture was so hot for that season.
Lessons in layering: summer edition
People who wear layers look sophisticated. True story. Scrap the fact that Comme des Garcons' Rei Kawakubo took her famous layering inspiration from the homeless bag ladies in New York City - they be chic in their own way too. As them bag ladies can attest, it's all good and well done in winter - there's a bloody good reason for it - but summer poses a few problems.
Trekking the length of Queen Street no matter how chic you may look ain't a pretty sight when your pits are pouring and your inner thighs are chafing with sweat. Layering be hard in summer. Or so you might think. I give you two lessons in layering for the fabrically challenged. Shall we begin?
Ain't that sweet? Take lightweight underlayers that are short. In simple attire looking like a tweenage twaddle at a sleepover party, we have a basic T from Dotti, and Lonely Hearts shorties. Innocent enough, right?
