MSNBC's Martin Bashir on Friday played one heck of a disgusting race card.
In the final segment of the show bearing his name, Bashir made the case without specifically saying it that the Republican Party is too racist for Cuban-American Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) to be its vice presidential candidate (video follows with transcript and commentary):
MARTIN BASHIR: It's not difficult to understand why poor old Sen. Marco Rubio has lost his bearings over the last few days. After all, he was invited to address the major CPAC conference yesterday knowing that one of the plenary sessions was entitled "The End of Multiculturism." Still, he forged ahead desperately trying to impress the baying crowd despite being a Cuban-American attacking the president for using a teleprompter.
SENATOR MARCO RUBIO (R-FLORIDA): I wrote a little speech here. I brought it. I apologize. It's hard to get a teleprompter in this town. There's a guy that uses a lot of them.
BASHIR: Well done, Mr. Rubio, but don't be deceived by the applause because you're going to have to go an awful lot further if you want to be on this Republican ticket as vice president.
Mr. Rubio has already displayed some flare in rewriting his personal history for the sake of political progress. You may remember that in his official biography, he said that his parents came to America following Fidel Castro's takeover. If this were true, it would clearly add grit to Mr. Rubio's compelling life story, fleeing a communist dictator for the freedom and true liberty offered by the United States. But unfortunately, official documents suggest that Mr. Rubio's parents left Cuba more than two and a half years before Castro took power in 1959.
And just two years ago, in fact at CPAC 2010, Mr. Rubio described how his father left Cuba after suffering many hardships, including the loss of his mother when he was just six years old. But just seven months later, Mr. Rubio said that his father lost his mother when he was just shy of his ninth birthday.
Now, I'm not picking fights over tiny details, but it does reveal the enormous challenge that confronts this young politician who wants to make progress in a party that says multiculturalism is dead. He's already had to embellish his personal history. One wonders what else he'll have to do to make himself acceptable to perhaps the most selective incarnation of the Republican Party that we've seen in a very, very long time.
As you can see in the video and transcript, Bashir never used the word racist or racism. But is there any other conclusion to be drawn from this segment, especially ending it with "the most selective incarnation of the Republican Party that we've seen in a very, very long time?"
What do you think Bashir meant by "most selective?"
But what makes this even more absurd is that Rubio is now one of the darlings of the Republican Party.
He so wowed the audience at CPAC 2010 that he shot directly to victory in his senatorial election that November placing him immediately on everyone's vice presidential lists whether he likes it or not.
The fact is that Rubio would be dearly welcomed on the ticket by the vast majority of Republicans.
It's only Democrats and their liberal media minions that are scared of this Cuban-American.
As such, maybe Bashir ought to point that accusatory finger at himself.

lenny de jesus calls out jojo robles
Hi Angie,
Thanks for sending me a copy of the Oct 23 column of Jojo Robles in Manila Standard Today entitled "Napoles' mentor?"
It is quite unfortunate that Jojo Robles did not verify his information before writing that column. For the record, I was not the Head of the Presidential Management Staff during the incumbency of President Cory Aquino. Ergo, all his insinuations about my part in thinking up a "Napoles scheme" are at best imaginary. If he were a responsible columnist, he would correct that misinformation ASAP.
Lenny de Jesus
disclosure: lenny and i are childhood friends.

Asa pa. It seems to me he's more like an attack canine rather than a responsible columnist thus his barking at his target victim before verifying his reason for barking is understandable.
November 4, 2013 at 8:01 pm
Haha, wow I feel kinda guilty now for linking it here, Ms Angela. Maybe, you should send that to Jojo Robles too so he could reply.
The name Lenny de Jesus rings a bell doesn't it. Wasn't she the one referred to as Malacañang Dragon Lady, the PMS Secretary of Erap? Where was she before?
November 4, 2013 at 9:27 pm
i dislike this tendency by columnists to write all sorts of accusations without proof — "Drilon and De Jesus hit upon a plan that would, whether or not Napoles knew it, would become the template for the conversion of funding for "soft" government projects into cash [for the campaign]. Funding for fictitious seminars, training programs and conventions, among other hard-to-trace expenditures, was quickly released, with a corresponding paper trail of government money spent using Cory's large—and largely unaudited —discretionary funds, or presidential pork, established."
how does he know they were turned into campaign funds? as far as he knows this is 100% CONJECTURE on his part. but he's presenting it as fact.
its sad, that this sort of reasoning is all around us.
November 4, 2013 at 11:17 pm
in robles' defense, the accusation isnt really that she was the PMS chief, but that she was part of a scheme to turn govt funds into campaign funds.
she should address this larger point.
November 5, 2013 at 7:49 pm
Right you are. They should use "allegedly" more frequently.
November 5, 2013 at 11:15 am
my bad. lenny de jesus was PMS head during the ramos and erap administrations. during the first aquino administration, her first stint in government, she served various positions: asec for plans and programs of DOLE, the office of the president (as deputy director-general of the kabisig people's movement), presidential assistant for policy and planning, and, finally, undersecretary of DILG.
that said, my source (whom i contacted again after i was told about this blog post) stands by his story, as do i. thank you and good day.
November 5, 2013 at 12:00 pm
and here it is: he said, she said journalism.
jojo, how can media enlighten us about the truth when all we have is he said, she said?
further, how can your source stand by his "story" when its got factual inaccuracies? shouldnt that story be amended?
November 5, 2013 at 12:52 pm
gabby d: this is why i talked to my source again, to find out if i should amend my story. i admit that he was wrong about de jesus' positions in the cory govt. my own mistake was passing on this bit of information i got from my source as correct, when it was not. in my personal hierarchy of sources, this person is usually very reliable and i chalked up his error as an anomaly. but that anomaly doesn't, in my view, detract from the truth of the rest of his story. so i cannot make the "ergo" that de jesus made in her "call out" to me. and yes, i do intend to put in an erratum in some future column, pointing out (as i have here) that i still stand by my source and the rest of it. thanks again.
November 5, 2013 at 2:30 pm
You and Kit keep on writing creative fiction, just like what Enrile wrote last year for his "memoirs"….
You should start your stories with "once upon a time…"
November 5, 2013 at 2:42 pm
If you and Kit's sources were credible, they wouldn't have chosen you guys in the first place! So many questions re you two.
They would have chosen someone like Winnie Monsod or Randy David who have kept their credibility all these years, even if they take unpopular stands.
November 5, 2013 at 6:12 pm
Zinggggggggggggg . . .
November 5, 2013 at 11:18 pm
jojo thats what i dont understand. IF its true that he (the source) was wrong about something basic and crucial as that, how can he be right in his larger (more damaging) accusations?
you seem to hold him in high regard, and the job therefore is to communicate WHY you hold him in higher esteem.
the usual way people do this (establish the reliability of a a source) is when there is documentary evidence, or several sources saying the same thing. I hope this is what you did, and if it was, you should write about this.
not a lot of journalists are clear about their methods, so reporting becomes he said/she said. i implore you to stop doing this.
November 6, 2013 at 1:18 am
"Graduates of media-related courses are often clueless about news gathering and operations," observes editor-in-chief Jojo Robles of Manila Standard Today in his column ("School daze," July 17, 2006).

Got that from here:

malakas ang amats nitong jojo robles. ano bang tsino-chongkee ng mamang ito? kuwentong kutsero ipinamamaraling totoo. tsk tsk.

Definitely not herb. Baka bato kaya mabaho ang ulo niya.

Jojo Robles, during the 2010 presidential election, fabricated that letter from Tomcat who was supposedly a classmate of PNoy.
Andrew Lim, with all due respect, Robles and Tatad write destructive fiction not creative fiction.

The home is situated on 1.5 acres of private and secluded property in the highly desirable 40 Steps Area. Nahant prides itself as being one of the safest towns in the state and enjoys the security of one carefully monitored road to and from this peninsular community. It has been described in the Boston Globe as the 'gated coastal town' of Boston where families can enjoy a vacation along with the relaxation and comforts of home... and without worries.
Nahant is a town known for recreational activites as far as your imagination can dream. This quaint town is a true leisure experience at its best.... and don't worry about traffic jams, they start just after the turn off to Nahant.
The home is seconds from a challenging golf course, tennis courts, private beaches, and a quaint boating harbor. Many walking/jogging paths along a 3-mi beach, as well as many paths throughout the town to enjoy the serenity and natural beauty of Nahant . Fishing, scuba diving,sailing,skiing,,rock climbing, bird-watching, skating, blading, wind surfing, jogging/walking/biking ,photography,among others...is commonplace in Nahant. Bus/taxi service is also available.
Nahant has all the trimmings of a recreational playground which provides activities for children as well as for adults. Nahant has been the Boston playground for decades and is protected from the noise and pollution of the big city with one thing in mind... relaxation!
There are many diverse and exceptional restaurants in and around Nahant; shopping malls in every direction; close proximity to all major attractions : Boston, Salem, Marblehead, Gloucester, etc. deep sea fishing and whale-watching tours in the immediate area with daily trips.
Nahant offers an island atmosphere with the best beaches in the Boston area (all 10 of them) within 20 min. to Boston & 15 min.to Logan Arpt., 5 min. to commuter rail for travel to Boston (18 min.) or head north to Maine and New Hampshire.
Great home for a family reunion/vacation. Lots of room for kids to play (3 floors); large rooms for adults to visit. Secluded drive through woods to get to house even though you are in a town. Two kitchens and near to restaurants. Sitting with a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning and watching fishermen is a great way to start the day. If we return to Boston, we will definitely stay here.
My fiancé and I had a large group of friends and family visit Boston and we could not of asked for a better place to stay. The house was clean, spacious, and the views we second to none. More than enough room for the 13 guests we had and large living spaces. Linda is so nice and accommodating. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a large house in the Boston area.
Great hosts, great house, insane view!
We were so grateful to be be able to spend our family vacation in this beautiful home. My family and I had so much fun and were very comfortable during our stay. The weather was perfect and the location was ideal for us. The views from the deck were stunning and we would be more than happy to return again. Joe and Linda were so helpful with any assistance and answering of any questions we had about the local area.
Absolutely much more than I ever expected-- A glorious setting with unobstructed views of the ocean as far as the eye can see. We greeted the day every morning with a spectacular sunrise--words can't describe how beautiful it was. But the main surprise was the unexpected sight of the whales that were swimming in Nahant Bay. I assumed we would have to book a whale watcher tour so this was a delightful extra that we could observe the whales from the decks.
The home was well appointed and all we needed to bring was a toothbrush and groceries. The rooms were large and the great room allowed our large group to dine together. The gathering was even more special because there was ample room for everyone and yet have their own space. We saved dollars because we could cook some of our meals, yet found great restaurants nearby when we decided to eat out.
The close proximity to Boston as well as other historical sites made this a perfect location. Our families will be back and will never forget the wonderful memories we take with us from the wonderful vacation we had in this special community of Nahant.
This home is exactly what you need to have a fantastic getaway vacation. So relaxing to sit and watch the lobster fishermen check their traps early in the morning & in the evening watch the sun set from every window, in this wonderfully laid out house. It has 3 levels & very private with all the amenities. It is located on an island setting but close to so much activity and nearby beaches. We loved taking the train into Boston, visiting all the historical sites along the "Freedom Trail." The seaside communities of Salem, Swampscott & Marblehead are all close by and offer an array of great restaurants in the area. Of course my favorite highlight was to cook our own lobsters in the big kitchen in the house (there are actually 2)! The separate living arrangements make it ideal for couples or larger families as well. Ocean views and sounds are amazing, and comfortable bedrooms make for a restful night. Plenty of room for any event and socializing. We would definitely come back to this beautiful and unique venue.

Mac CountryWide, Centro next to go?
Page Tools
Centro Properties and Macquarie CountryWide Trust could be the next cabs off the rank in the latest phase of consolidation within the listed property trust sector.
While analysts expect such a move would create a very competitive vehicle, Macquarie Bank could be expected to fight hard to retain the regional shopping centre trust.
The takeover of AMP's listed trusts a year ago, along with the original Principal Office trust, by Investa sparked the industry rationalisation and, now the Westfield merger has been finalised, property trust analysts are looking at other possibilities.
Although investors are not overly keen on too many mergers within the sector, higher returns can only be generated by owning more assets and, in a small market where the supply of quality properties is tight, the only option for trusts to grow is through acquisition of each other.
Another possibility is Centro and Prime Retail, which have a close relationship. Centro already owns 40 per cent of the latter, which houses US assets.
Even though Centro's chief executive, Andrew Scott, has said it and Prime would be run as independent vehicles, stapling them together may be the preferred option in the current climate, where internal management is the favoured path.
The remainder of Macquarie Bank's trusts have also come under the spotlight as possible stapling options, although the bank has made no secret that it prefers the external management approach, which generates lucrative fees.
Macquarie Office Trust is in preliminary talks with Principal America Trust, which is the former US Lend Lease Office Trust.
It has also been widely suggested, for some time, that the stand-alone Macquarie Goodman Industrial trust and the listed Macquarie Goodman Management could merge.
But property trust analysts have said another possibility would be for the group to merge with its Singapore-based Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust, to create a $2 billion-plus vehicle.
One of the longest running rumours, that of Deutsche Bank merging its three listed trusts, was confirmed yesterday.

Little Ways to Cut Calories Every Day
Break up your regular meals.
For example, if you usually top your breakfast oatmeal with blueberries and walnuts, eat the oatmeal plain when you wake up, and save the blueberries and nuts for a snack later. Likewise, have soup or salad as a snack before supper rather than as your dinner starter. It's the same amount of calories divided throughout the day, so you're able to snack healthfully and still feel satiated.
Get a dog.
Researchers at Michigan State University discovered that people who own and walk their dog burned 200 extra calories per week. Some even more.
Use social media.
But maybe not in the way you think. If you have to post that you ate a box of Girl Scout cookies, you're less likely to actually eat them because it makes you accountable. Using social media apps to track calories and workouts—and share those results—also can help you consume fewer calories.
Check out other ways to help here.

Cathode Ray Deflection
cathode rays - electrons - magnetic fields
What it shows:
A collimated beam of Cathode rays can be deflected by a magnetic field.
How it works:
This Crookes tube has an anode and cathode at opposite ends of a cylindrical tube, with a horizontal slit near the cathode and a vertical fluorescent screen running the length to the anode (see figure 1). The shape of the beam and the inclination of the screen means that the path of the electrons impinges on the screen and can be seen for the length of the tube. Moving the magnet in from behind the screen deflects the beam up or down; moving the magnet in from the top deflects the beam away from or into the screen.
figure 1. Crookes tube showing fluorescent screen and cathode aperture
Setting it up:
This Crookes tube uses the same power supply and induction coil as the Maltese Cross tube, and the same Alnico magnet for deflecting the beam.
The fluorescent screen is ideally suited for electrons and renders a very bright image of the path of the cathode rays. Very visible even in large lecture halls; it doesn't need any additional aids. Rating***

Have Urology Questions? Ask a Urologist Online.
Hi there,Thanks for your question. Please be patient for a response as I may be in the OR or driving, but will get back to you ASAP.
If you are at risk for STDs, you should still be treated regardless of whether your STD test was negative because this test can miss the STD sometimes. The antibiotics you need are Rocephin and Azithromycin. The cipro will not treat an STD. The cipro may treat a UTI is this urethral irritation is due to a UTI, but it sounds like you are still having symptoms. You need to go back to your doctor for a reevaluation. Hope this helps.
They gave me the Rocphen and Azithromycin when they did the test. Should my symptoms be completely gone after 7 days and 1000 mg. of Cipro. My urethral discomfort is better(not gone) but I still have discomfort at penis tip

While I've taught courses like this quite often, I've not taught one to all writers.

(Jan. 5, 2012) On December 12, 2011, Israel's Supreme Court rejected a request to permit an appeal of a decision by the Tel Aviv-Yafo district court to approve the filing of a class action against the distributors of a food supplement. The class action focused on the misleading advertisement of the food supplement, which claimed it contributed to re-growth of cartilage in patients suffering from osteoarthritis.
Under Israel's Class Actions Law, 5766-2006, the filing of a class action requires authorization by a court. The Law provides that a court may approve the filing of a suit against a "dealer" as defined by the Consumer Protection Law 5741-1981 (CPL), which states that a "'[d]ealer' means a person who sells a commodity or performs a service by way of business and includes a producer." (CPL, § 1, 35 LSI 298 (5741-1980/81).)
The request for permission to appeal centered on the district court's approval of a class action against the distributors of the food supplement, based on the allegation of misleading consumers by false advertisement, a violation of the CPL. In approving the class action, the district court had further authorized the inclusion in the plaintiffs' group of all those who purchased the food supplement within the seven years preceding the request for approval of the class action.
In rejecting the request for appeal against the district court judgment, the Supreme Court recognized that the respondents have lifted the burden of proof that was required for showing that the advertisement could be presumed to be misleading. The Court noted that medical research had not supported the claim that human cartilage could be healed as a result of consumption of the food supplement. The Court further noted that this conclusion was also inferred from the testimony of the expert who had testified on behalf of the appellants themselves.
The Court found that the respondents' arguments could properly be reviewed in a class action procedure. In reaching this decision, the Court rejected the applicants' assertions that such a procedure was not appropriate because of the complexity of determining the size of the damage caused by reliance on the misleading advertisement. The Court noted that the district court was cognizant of this issue and had already recognized that in calculating the damage, the fact that the food supplement was proven to ease the pain, even if not to re-grow cartilage, as the advertisement promised, should be taken into consideration. The size of the damage to be awarded, therefore, should be evaluated in the course of the class action itself, the Court stated. (Request for Authorization for Appeal 7540/10 Altman v. Jan [in Hebrew], ISRAEL: THE COURT AUTHORITY (last visited Dec. 16, 2011); Class Actions Law, 5766-2006 [in Hebrew], SEFER HAHUKIM [Official Gazette] 5766, No. 2054, at 264.)

Sorry Vermont, Real Springfield Is In Oregon
One of the best-kept secrets in television history has been unmasked, with "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening revealing the Springfield in Oregon is the basis for the hometown of his characters.
The admission came in an interview with Smithsonian Magazine published online Tuesday.
Groening says he was inspired by the television show "Father Knows Best," which took place in a place called Springfield. Springfield, Ore., is 100 miles south of Groening's hometown of Portland.
Groening says he has long given fake answers when asked about the Simpsons' hometown.
The show has made a running joke of hiding the true Springfield's location. In one episode, daughter Lisa points to Springfield on a map, but the animated "camera view" is blocked by son Bart's head.
Vermont's Springfield was named the official Simpson's hometown after a sponsored contest a few years ago. Now word yet on whether that honor will be rescinded.NPR: D'Oh! Springfield In 'Simpsons' Was Based On Town In Oregon All Along

Algebraic Curves and Riemann Surfaces (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, Vol 5)
In this book, Miranda takes the approach that algebraic curves are best encountered for the first time over the complex numbers, where the reader's classical intuition about surfaces, integration, and other concepts can be brought into play. Therefore, many examples of algebraic curves are presented in the first chapters. In this way, the book begins as a primer on Riemann surfaces, with complex charts and meromorphic functions taking center stage. But the main examples come from projective curves, and slowly but surely the text moves toward the algebraic category. Proofs of the Riemann-Roch and Serre Duality Theorems are presented in an algebraic manner, via an adaptation of the adelic proof, expressed completely in terms of solving a Mittag-Leffler problem. Sheaves and cohomology are introduced as a unifying device in the latter chapters, so that their utility and naturalness are immediately obvious. Requiring a background of a one semester of complex variable! theory and a year of abstract algebra, this is an excellent graduate textbook for a second-semester course in complex variables or a year-long course in algebraic geometry.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA - A local man already on probation was scheduled to be in court Wednesday to answer to charges he allegedly stabbed a man following an argument at a restaurant, San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials said Wednesday.
Laquent Toussant, 35, of Rancho Cucamonga was arrested early Sunday morning in the 9600 block of Milliken Avenue on suspicion of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, said Cpl. Randy Naquin, spokesman for the Sheriff's Department. As of Wednesday afternoon, it was unclear in court records if Toussant had entered a plea in the attempted murder case against him.
Around 2 a.m. Sunday, officials received several 9-1-1 calls reporting a stabbing on Milliken Avenue near Fourth Street, officials said.
Deputies found Toussant still at the location allegedly armed with a large knife, Naquin said. They also found a man suffering from stab wounds to his back, hand and a cut to his stomach.
Paramedics transported the wounded man to a hospital.
Deputies learned the men had been involved in a argument at a restaurant some time before the stabbing, Naquin stated.
Toussant was arrested and booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
A search of court documents shows Toussant was still on probation for a drug case from 2009. Records also show Toussant had been previously arrested in 2002 for battery on a spouse but ended up pleading guilty to disturbing the peace.

Photographing a wedding is a huge responsibility and one we take seriously. You will doubtless invest loads of time, love and attention in the planning of your big day, so we believe your photographers should too.
As such, we restrict the number of wedding commissions we take on in any one year (its about quality rather than quantity).
We shoot weddings as a two photographer, husband and wife team, with a documentary approach that unobtrusively captures the essence of your day.
We take time to create a partnership with you throughout the whole pre-wedding shoot and planning process - that way we can create a genuinely unique record of your day.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, we'd love to hear about what you've got planned. Call us to arrange a chilled out consultation, or just for a chat.
"Thank you so much for the amazing photos on our wedding day. It was such fun working with you both and you made the photography part so relaxed and enjoyable."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
We're not talking finger-painting classes taught by New Age-y hippies here; Open House Creative brings in talented professionals to share their skills. Enroll your kids in six-week art camps or individual sessions to learn how to paint, screen print, make letterpress art, or even become mini-curators of art shows (seriously). Adults who've always had dreams of taking up watercolor or typography or collage can take classes specially tailored for them, accompanied by fine wine, water, fruit and charcuterie platters. Kinda makes us wish art school was more like this. . . .
We really wanted to do a new up-and-coming punk band for this one, but we just couldn't find one that tops the masters. Until that happens (or until the older bands stop touring), OC punk remains Social Distortion and its contemporaries. And given this year is the 25th anniversary of Social D's self-titled album, Mike Ness and his endless growl get the nod over all the veterans. Now, any of you have tickets for their December residency at the House of Blues?
You might not have heard of Hiatus, and that's probably because they only play a few times per month—whenever the dozen or so members can find free time between other gigs. Their show schedule might seem a little spare, but you won't think so when you actually check out one of their shows packed with adoring fans from . . . somewhere. Their act is crazy; expect plenty of heavy-energy covers, cheering crowds and the unexpected. And a good time because if there's anything that'll make a rock band the best, it's their ability to make their fans happy.
Avenue Q is part of the relatively new wave of anti-musicals that poke fun at musical conventions while also adopting most of them. This mash-up of Sesame Street and Gen-X reality is a bit overrated (unlike its contemporaries such as Urinetown and The Book of Mormon), but that wasn't the fault of director Stephen Hulsey or his wholly committed cast at the Maverick Theater. There wasn't a weak link, with each performer (Tyler McGraw, Rachel McLaughlan, Kevin Garcia, Michael Rodriguez, Adair Gilliam, Tara Alkazian, Bachi Dillague, Curtis Andersen and Jilly Pretzel) creating defined characters in human and puppet form, but also blending seamlessly into a greater whole. McLaughlan, as the primary female love interest, and Gilliam, as a scene-stealing Gary Coleman-turned-building superintendent, get the best material, but everyone contributed fantabulous performances.
Long Beach's finest storefront theater doesn't produce many plays; for instance, this year it has only produced three. But two were world premieres, and the third was the local premiere of Rajiv Joseph's Gruesome Playground Injuries. Head honcho Eric Hamme and his intrepid band of creatives get this nod for the recently concluded Darkside. Legendary writer Tom Stoppard created the piece, based on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, as a radio play for the BBC. When Hamme heard about it, he contacted the BBC and Stoppard, then got the clearance to turn it into its first staged production, one the Garagelings murdered in the best of ways. It was a big ol' existential, prog-rock mindfuck, thoroughly entertaining and a splendid integration of live performance, sound and visuals.
Jordan Harrison's 2011 play Maple and Vine turned Mad Men-like nostalgia on its head, as contemporary urbanites, fleeing from the frightening ubiquity of 24-7 technological connection, sign up with a strange movement that has meticulously re-created 1955 in a huge gated community in Somewhere Middle America. No Internet, smartphones, poly blends, poke bowls or Donald Trump. It was a smart play, with no small amount of menace, and underscored the problematic nature of pining for an idyllic past that never truly existed. Staged at the Chance Theater, Mark Ramont's strong direction led a fine ensemble, paced by Jennifer Ruckman, who aches the most for "authenticity," and Daniel Fagan, as the impossibly slick head of the Society of Dynamic Obsolescence.

New Test Developed for Alzheimer's
Scientists say they are using a blood test to find out if a patient is likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Although the 87-percent accuracy needs to be improved, the development is getting attention world-wide. UT-Health Medical Center neurology professor Dr. Claudio Soto says the early diagnosis is very important.
"If you can have a method to know when people are going to develop the disease," Soto says, "before substantial damage to the brain has occurred, that can be very beneficial."
The current problem is, Alzheimer's is diagnosed after the brain has been damaged in most cases.
"If you can get people to develop the disease five years later than they normally would," he says, "that is a huge improvement."

Children, particularly young children, often do not have the ability to express how they feel in words and as a result, express their feelings through behavior-often inappropriate or undesirable behavior such as hitting, defiance, school refusal, and more. Power struggles over homework, getting up on time for school, complying with parental requests are also common problems of children today. Anxious children frequently complain of stomach aches, dizzy spells, and headaches. Working closely with the child and the child's parents, I implement child behavioral techniques and provide the parents' with tools to successfully manage their child's behavior as well as resolve any emotional distress

Berserk Golden Age Arc III: Descent, the final part of the Berserk anime film trilogy, is scheduled to be released in Japan in early 2013. According to the film list provided by EIRIN (Film Classification and Rating Committee of Japan) on their official site, the film is described as "the film for adult" and rated "R 18+" (for persons aged 18 and above only, No one under 18 admitted) due to "extremely strong depictions of sexual activity." It means Japanese youth under 18 will not be able to see the film in the theaters and probably rent the DVD of the film at the rental stores. The list doesn't mention which scene fall under their rating policy.
In the list, all of other recent anime films such as Hanano Utame Gothicmade, Smile PreCure! Ehon no naka wa minna chiguhagu!, Star Driver The Movie, Nerawareta Gakuen, Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie Part I&II, Macross FB 7: Ore no Uta o Kike!, 009 RE:CYBORG, and

tokusatsu short film Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru (developed by the Evangelion creator, Hideaki Anno)
about Tokyo and the world destroyed by the giant warriors is rated "G".

A message from the President of the United States to the Jews of America will be read during the Feast of Esther–Purim–Radio Program over the NBC-WJZ network tonight at 10:30. It will be a call for a spiritual renaissance among the Jews of America and a strengthening of their support of the Jewish religious and educational institutions. The half hour coast-to-coast radio program has been arranged by the Religious Reconstruction Committee of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.
Since President Roosevelt will be unable to deliver his message personally, he has requested that it be read by Congressman Sol Bloom, honorary secretary of the committee. Congressman Bloom will read the President's message from Washington. Messages from Governor Lehman and Mayor LaGuardia will also be read. The speakers will be William Weiss, president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America; Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein, chairman of the Religious Reconstruction Committee, Albert Wald, president of the Synagogue Council of American. and Mrs. N. Taylor Phillips, chairman of the Women's Division of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations. The Rev. H. Pereira Mendes, honorary chairman of the committee and Rabbi Emeritus of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue will give the closing blessing. A group of cantors led by Jacob Rappaport, president of the Cantors' Association of America, will sing Jewish Festival music.
The program will be broadcast at a time when Jews throughout America will be dining in their homes in the traditional observance of the Feast of Esther, or Purim. Purim celebrates Queen Esther's deliverance of the Jews from massacre 2,300 years ago.
The honorary chairmen of the committee are Rabbi M. S. Margolies, Rev. H. Pereira Mendes, Rev. Dr. Bernard Drachman, Rev. Dr. Leo Jung, Rev. Dr. David de Sola Pool, Samuel Levy and William Weiss. The officers are Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein, chairman; Rabbi Joseph H. Lookstein; Dr. S. Braun of Cleveland; Samuel Feuerstein of Boston; A. Goldblatt of Chicago; Israel S. Gomborov of Baltimore, vice-chairman; Max Herskovitz, treasurer; Arthur I. LeVine, co-treasurer; Sol Bloom, honorary secretary and Morris Engelman, secretary.
The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue is celebrating Purim with a four-day carnival, including a feast, the reading of the Megillah and a theater pageant.
In the Bronx, the Jewish Guild will rejoice over the downfall of Haman, this evening, at the Paradise Manor. Judge Benjamin Greenspan will assist at the festivities.
Three hundred religious schools throughout the city will take part in plays, masquerades and parties, devour Purim delicacies and otherwise demonstrate their joy at the deliverance of their ancestors.
The women, to whom this holiday is peculiarly significant, due to Queen Esther's playing the chief role, have planned scores of parties all over the city. Among them is a Purim card party this afternoon at the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, under the auspices of the Washington Heights group of Ivriah. The Jewish Center of Jackson Heights will give a Purim masquerade ball, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Carolyn Lehfeld.
Hundreds of pretty girls, throughout the country will glory in their selection as "Queen Esthers," at various balls and functions. Ida Feltman, the lucky choice in Paterson, New Jersey, won a free trip to the Chicago Century of Progress next summer, at the second annual ball held in Temple Emanu-El, Paterson.
And in Berlin, the principal feature of the Purim holiday is to be the presentation of the dramatic fragment "Esther," by Franz Grillparzer, at the Berliner theater.

Treasury has declined to release any of the correspondence between Treasurer
The department also declined to release any correspondence between Mr Hockey and
Mr Abbott instead said he would seek the repeal of certain provisions of the Qantas Sale Act, which restricts foreign investment in the airline.
The House has passed the amendments but they have yet to be approved by the Senate amid opposition from Labor, the Greens and the Palmer United Party.
The Australian Financial Review lodged a FOI application with Treasury in March seeking summary and briefing documents from the time Qantas's recent lobbying efforts began in November relating to the Qantas Sale Act and any potential financial assistance to the airline. It also sought any reports from external consultants commissioned by Treasury or that were provided to Treasury.
Earlier this year, it was revealed Treasury had commissioned PwC to report on Qantas's finances and whether it needed financial assistance.
In response to the FOI request, which was delayed after Treasury requested an extension from the Information Commissioner while it prepared the federal budget, a list of 26 documents was produced on Friday. The longest document described was a 45-page confidential report received by Treasury from a third party on December 13. It was not revealed whether this was the PwC report. Of the 26 documents, only one was released and it was redacted.
That document was a portion of a three-page briefing note sent to the Treasurer from the general manager, Infrastructure Industry Environment and Defence Division on March 3.
The portion released publicly said Qantas had reported a $252 million half-year loss on February 27, which followed a downgrade of its credit rating by Moody's and Standard & Poor's and a request for federal government assistance.
The document added that Mr Abbott had stated the government would seek to ensure there was a level playing field by amending the Qantas Sale Act but that in regards to financial assistance, the difficulty of the request was: "Why should the government do for one what it is not prepared to do for all?"
Qantas had asked for a standby debt facility backed by a government guarantee, for which it would pay a fee. The idea was the existence of such a facility would deem the airline a "government-related entity" for ratings agency purposes and restore its investment grade credit rating, which was lost, in part, because of its tough battle against Virgin in the domestic market.
However, Virgin and Rex had objected that they should also receive similar government assistance in the event it was awarded to Qantas, even though both of those carriers are majority owned by foreign shareholders while Qantas must be 51 per cent Australian-owned as a result of the Qantas Sale Act.
Qantas is expected to report a full-year pre-tax loss of more than $700 million in August. In February, it revealed plans to slash 5000 jobs and cut $2 billion of costs over a three-year period.Qantas shares closed at $1.34 on Friday.
Shaw Stockbroking analyst David Fraser last week initiated coverage on the airline with a "sell" rating and a price target of $1.15, saying he believed consensus revenue forecasts for the 2014-15 financial year were too high because domestic market competition was set to continue.

Reduce the Cost of Care
Reporting Quality Data to Improve Care
As part of its strategy to promote higher quality care, CMS has implemented accepted quality measures, value-based payment, and quality reporting programs. The measures assess clinical quality of care, care coordination, patient safety, and the patient and caregiver experience. Strengthening infrastructure and data systems and fostering learning organizations represent two of the QIO Program's four foundational principles for quality improvement. These principles come together in the CMS quality reporting and incentive programs, which make Medicare more accessible and affordable to beneficiaries.
Helping Providers in Multiple Care Settings
Quality Innovation Network (QIN)-QIOs work with a variety of providers and care facilities to navigate quality reporting, the Physician Feedback/Value-Based Payment Modifier Program, and Quality and Resource Use Reports (QRURs). Providers and facilities include:
- Eligible physicians and physician groups
- Inpatient and outpatient hospital departments
- Acute care and critical access hospitals
- Inpatient Psychiatric Facilities (IPFs)
- PPS-exempt Cancer Hospitals (PCHs)
- Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs)
As part of Medicare's efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of medical care, the Physician Feedback/Value-Based Payment Modifier Program provides comparative performance information to physicians and medical practice groups. By providing meaningful and actionable information for doctors to apply towards quality improvement, CMS is shifting towards a model of physician reimbursement that rewards value rather than volume. Using workflow analysis and other proven methods, QIN-QIOs will help providers identify and close gaps in care coordination, improve efficiency and quality, and meet or exceed national reporting requirements.

In times of rejoicing the tribes at Port Mackay, curr remarked, paint themselves red; in times of mourning, white.
King, with his mouth full of curr did not answer, but his eyes smiled.
curr says of the Australians1447 that the tribes who wear clothing are more decent than those who are naked.
Let me curr to quercine shades Effund your albid hausts, lactiferous maids!
At the same time, curr thinks that capture was formerly more frequent.
This is well shown by the following table based on information gathered by curr and by Fison and Howitt.
curr is another of my names, but two of my names won't let you go free.
Here we met Mr. curr, the Company's Superintendent, who was absent during our first visit.
curr, who was better acquainted than Fison with the Australians, has proved that they are normally monogamous.

Experts are of the opinion that careful management of type 2 diabetes will go a long way in bringing down the risk of serious and even life-threatening complications. So, here are some tips with respect to lifestyle changes and home remedies that can help patients in management of diabetes with ease:
Commitment towards diabetes management:
It is important that the patients should keep themselves aware of whatever they can about this health issue. It is important that they should follow a healthy exercise routine along with proper diet. It is better to establish a better relationship with a doctor, who can help in effective diabetes management.
Regular eye exam and yearly physical exam are important:
The important point to be remembered by diabetes patients is that their regular diabetes check up should never replace their yearly physical and regular eye examination. Generally, during diabetes screening, the doctor will pay attention only to the level of diabetes and its management. On the other hand, the complete physical examination will help in identifying any other complications created by the increased sugar level in the body. Generally, reports state that diabetes patients are more prone to conditions like glaucoma, cataract and retinal damage. This is the reason why regular eye examination is also important.
Up-to-date immunization:
The important point to remember is that long-term diabetes can weaken the immune system. So, it is important that the patients should get their flu shot every year and even as per the recommendation of the doctor the pneumonia vaccine can also be taken once in a year. Even, these patients are recommended to get Hepatitis B vaccination, if they are between the age group of 19 and 59 years. For patients with more than 60 years and not had the Hepatitis B vaccine, it is better to talk to the doctor in this regard.
Dental care is important:
Diabetes can also leave patients to be prone to gum infections. So, these patients should brush twice daily and they should also floss the oral line once in a day. Also, regular dental examinations to check for bleeding gums or swollen gums will help in prevention of any serious complications in the dental hygiene and health.
Feet attention is important:
Patients with diabetes generally get wounds in the feet and it will take longer for recovery as well. This is why they are recommended to take effective care of their feet. They should wash their feet on a daily basis with lukewarm water and they should be dried gently, particularly between the toes and a moisture lotion can be used on a regular basis. Also, feet should be checked on a regular basis for any swelling, redness, sores, cuts and blisters. If there is any sore that is not healing, it is better to seek medical attention.
Blood pressure and cholesterol should be kept under check:
Consumption of healthy foods and regular exercises will go a long way in keeping blood pressure and cholesterol under check. Also, smoking and alcohol usage should be restricted to lead a healthy life with diabetes.

California School Immunization Law
California Health and Safety Code: Sections 120325-120375:
Under these statutes, children in California are required to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, child care centers, family day care homes, nursery schools, day nurseries, and developmental centers. Schools, child care centers, and family child care homes are required to enforce immunization requirements, maintain immunization records of all children enrolled, and submit reports.
The California Legislature passed and on June 29, 2015 Governor Jerry Brown signed California Senate Bill 277 into law (Governor's Letter). The law, which does not take effect until July 1, 2016, removes the personal belief vaccine exemption for children attending daycare and public and private schools.

Allergy Free Zone
We have several students at Brookside Elementary School that have food allergies to peanut/nut products. For some students, any exposure to peanuts/nuts or peanut butter may cause a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires emergency medical treatment. As a school we have taken precautions to limit exposure to these allergens for the safety and well-being of our students.
A table in the eating area has been designated as an allergy free zone. Peanut /nut products will not be sold in the cafeteria. Some children bring their lunch to school. If peanut/nuts are brought to school your child will not be able to sit at the allergy free table. If your child has eaten peanuts/nuts before coming to school, we are requesting that your child's hands and face be thoroughly washed before entering the school.
We appreciate your support.
Please contact the school if you have any questions.

His recipe for the spirit is simple: add a tiger bone to rice wine, steep for 50 days.
Professor P. Cohn has recently described the mode in which he has manufactured the Japanese sake or rice wine in the laboratory.
I told him I saw a boy kneel down on a grave, and take a cup of rice wine, and sip a little, and then pour it out on the sand.
White grape wine and rice wine were at the same time handed to us in microscopic cups of painted porcelain.
Coming back drunk on rice wine, he had stuck his head down for a cool drink, as a horse does.
Such is the saki or rice wine of the Japanese, the tuba or sap of the coconut palm of the Filipinos and the pulqu of the Mexicans.
There was then another public audience, with gifts of rice and eggs, and drinking of rice wine.

This FDA briefing document serves as a synopsis for the
discussion of issues in the design of clinical trials for the treatment of
diabetic foot infections (DFIs). Historically,
clinical trials evaluate the efficacy and safety of drug in subjects with DFIs as a subset of patients within a larger clinical trial
population of patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSIs). However, in the review of clinical trials for cSSSIs there are several issues relating to the subset of
patients with DFIs that warrant further discussion
and clarification. The public health impact of DFIs
is significant, considering the estimated 17.1 million diabetics in the
Drug sponsors have made several recent requests to the FDA regarding the design of clinical trials of drugs for DFIs. However, the review of such trials is complex since the trials generally lack standardized methods for: 1) defining a "diabetic foot infection", 2) obtaining microbiological specimens and determining microbiological outcomes, 3) radiological assessment for excluding bone and joint involvement, and 4) determining clinical outcomes in DFIs.
Currently, there are three drugs approved for the treatment of diabetic foot infections as part of the cSSSI indication: piperacillin/tazobactam (ZosynÔ), trovafloxacin (TrovanÔ), and linezolid (ZyvoxÔ). There are no agents approved specifically for the treatment of osteomyelitis associated with an overlying diabetic foot infection.
The issues for discussion before the Advisory Committee will include:
1. How does one define a "diabetic foot infection"? Please include in your discussions the considerations of patients with cellulitis without breaks in the skin versus patients with pre-existing breaks in the skin.
2. In patients with a pre-existing skin ulcer, how does one define infected versus non-infected ulcers?
3. What is the most accurate way to obtain microbiologic information in patients with diabetic foot infections?
4. What are the considerations for clinical trials for ruling out osteomyelitis in patients in trials of diabetic foot infections? Please discuss how to determine drug efficacy for the diabetic foot infection in the setting of osteomyelitis and whether such patients should be considered clinical cures or failures.
5. How does one define clinical success or failure patients in a clinical trial of diabetic foot infections?

It's important to get a handle on "ill will" – irritated, resentful, and angry feelings and intentions toward others. While it may seem justified in the moment, ill will harms you probably more than it harms others. In another metaphor, having ill will toward others is like throwing hot coals with bare hands: both people get burned. [Read more…]

The Riverhead Central School District draws its students from three townships: Riverhead, Southampton and Brookhaven. However, all but one of the schools is located in the Township of Riverhead. SEE ONLINE MAP.
About the Town of Riverhead
The Town of Riverhead has a population of approximately 33,500 and is located on the eastern end of Long Island ("East End") in Suffolk County, 70 miles from NYC. Riverhead was founded in 1792 and is the county seat. It is bordered by the Peconic River and the Great Peconic Bay on the south, and the Long Island Sound on the north.
Riverhead is bounded on the west by Calverton and at its northwest corner by Baiting Hollow. To the east are Northville and Aquebogue. Riverside and Flanders lie to the south. The population of the hamlet of Riverhead in 2010 was 13,299, of which 66.1 percent considered themselves white, 15.8 percent African-American and 25.3 percent Hispanic of any race.
The area's land base is largely agricultural, which produces flowers, potatoes, vegetables, grapes, and sod. Farmstands and orchards are popular stops for visitors who wish to bring home fresh-picked produce.The northern area still has farms, among them Briermere Farms on Sound Avenue, famous for its pies. There are also wineries, horse farms and golf courses, some surrounded by houses.
As the Suffolk County seat, Riverhead is home to courts and lawyers' offices. The Atlantis Aquarium Facility and the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation overlooking the Peconic River is both a popular tourist site and a partner in education for the local schools. In addition, the LI Science Museum, Suffolk County Historical Society, the Peconic Bay Medical Center, the East End Arts Center, the Riverhead Free Library, and Cornell Cooperative Extension are just some of its partners in learning.
Riverhead has worked hard to improve the waterfront, add popular destinations like the Tanger Outlet Center, Atlantis Aquarium and Splish Splash Water Park, while maintaining its natural rural attractions.
Location, scholarships, business partnerships, active volunteer participation as mentors and helpers in the schools, as well as a strong sense of community make Riverhead schools a good place to educate children. The district is also very proud of its alumni. Pictured (right) is PFC Garfield Langhorn, an alumni from the Class of 1967 who received the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously for throwing himself on a grenade to save his fellow soldiers in the VietNam War. PFC Garfield Langhorn is an American Hero and an inspiration for all. The Riverhead Post Office and the Pulaski Street School's Library are named in his honor.

Project DescriptionFROM THE ARCHITECTS:
In 1992 the Japanese Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications commissioned VSBA to design the hotel complex adjacent to Nikko National Park, site of ancient Buddhist and Shinto shrines. The Mielparque Nikko Kirifuri Resort includes a 97-room hotel, conference center, tennis courts, and a spa and swimming facility.
Throughout the complex, building proportions and facades suggest traditional rural architecture: the ornamental roof structures symbolizing vernacular roof forms and overhangs; the wall appliqué pattern suggesting exposed frame construction. The main hotel, a series of linked buildings, recedes into the mountainous wooded setting. The elements together promote the resort as a modern, streamlined version of the ancient Japanese village.
A bridge spans the ravine at the approach to the hotel. Its form juxtaposes a reinforced concrete structure, derived from contemporary engineering technology, with a decorative plane on each face that symbolizes a traditional Japanese bridge.
In contrast, the resorts interiors appear innovative and contemporary. The grand volume of the spa facility is ornamented with giant green and yellow aluminum tree leaves grouped to reflect the spas verdant setting. The dominant indoor element of the hotel is a pedestrian Village Street ornamented with colorful and abstracted signs and murals depicting historical and contemporary elements. Restaurants, cafes and retail areas line this street, making it a lively and gala place for both adults and children. To the east rise six stories of hotel facilities, and to the west conference rooms, lobbies, underground parking and tennis courts.
