Bill Rascoe joined Hospice of Palm Beach County in 1993 as a staff nurse in the Gerstenberg inpatient unit. He saw great opportunity with the organization and moved up the ranks as Hospice of Palm Beach County grew from just 125 patients to more than 1,200 per day.In his tenure with the organization, Bill has served as a supervisor for the Gerstenberg Inpatient Unit, supervisor of the Yellow Team, Palliative Care Coordinator and also Palliative Care Supervisor. In 2007, Bill became the Regional Manager for the West Palm Beach/Lake Worth area overseeing seven (7) teams including the Good Samaritan Hospital Unit and Gerstenberg Inpatient Unit. In December 2010, Bill was appointed to the position of Director of Access Services for Hospice of Palm Beach County.
Bill's love for the Hospice movement began in St. Louis when he served as a volunteer for a hospice afflitiated wtih Barnes-Jewish Hospital where he was employed as a Registered Nurse in Acute Medicine. He contributes his personal success story at Hospice of Palm Beach County largely in part the the wonderful people that he has had the opportunity to work with and to the fact the organization had adhered to its high standards of quality care since the day he began.

One question I wish I'd known the answer to a long time ago is: Can you trust a non toxic or green cleaning products label? It's tough when they're not really tested. Here are some statistics: Of the over 80,000 chemicals used in the U.S. the EPA has required toxicity testing on fewer than 500. 42 billion pounds of chemicals are produced and imported each year, we don't know the health risks of 75% of them. Less than 20% of the estimated chemicals manufactured in the past 50 years have been assessed for their neurotoxicity.
For many parts of the U.S. and abroad this time of year marks the dead of the Winter season. It can bring brutally cold temperatures and make it hard to think about leaving the warm to go work out or just get to some exercise equipment. As I write this article it is -16 here in Minnesota with a -41 windchill! So believe me in saying its not always easy. But as we'll see below we may have some rather simple options that can provide us with huge benefits. Everyone knows walking is good exercise, but it has another benefit: a daily 20-minute walk can cut the risk of Dementia by 40%, studies are showing. In a previous article we wrote it shows that people's number #1 fear as they get older is losing their mind.
PlanetSolar's 2013 campaign, which began on April 8 in La Ciotat (France), came to an end today in Paris. In successfully completing an unprecedented campaign of scientific measurements along the Gulf Stream in collaboration with the University of Geneva (UNIGE), the world's largest solar vessel has demonstrated throughout this journey that she could be used for practical purposes. The ship sailed over 20,000 kilometers over the course of 156 days, raising the general public's awareness about climate issues and promoting solar energy at each stopover. The Parisian stopover brings this 2013 mission to a close. A series of events will be organized in the ship's vicinity from September 10-15, Port de Javel-Bas, quai André Citroën
When thinking of sweet fruits and tasty vegetables, many people think of spring and summer harvest. But they tend to forget what great food we have to look forward to in the fall months. This is a time when many people are gearing up for colder weather and need a good boost to the immune system along with continued overall nutrition.
The argument that a vegetarian diet is more planet-friendly than a carnivorous one is straightforward: If we feed plants to animals, and then eat the animals, we use more resources and produce more greenhouse gases than if we simply eat the plants.
Happy Earth Day! To complete our Earth Day Tips countdown we've listed the top environmental concerns people have and the categories you can take action and support.
We like the majority of our Earth Day Tips to be low cost or no cost, but still have a big impact. Earth Day Tip #4 is no exception and can actually make a bigger impact on you and the planet than you may think. Tip 4 is Bring Some Green Inside. We mean this in the form of growing a small plant or plants in you house. This tip focuses on your "mini environment" as we tend to spend much more time indoors than out these days. Many studies have shown that the air in our homes is 2-5 times more polluted than outdoors and many times even more.
If you're familiar with the massive industrial chemical epidemic we've been dealing with for the last 30 years, than this new finding should come as no surprise to you. A compound (Triclosan) found in antibacterial soaps, cosmetics, toothpastes and other products is increasing in Minnesota lakes and rivers according to research by the University of Minnesota. We recently exposed the chemical triclosan, in our article Can We Really Trust Antimicrobial Soaps? . Did you know: 81,000 chemicals have been registered with the EPA in the last 30 years and fewer than 20% have been tested for toxicity.
Its April again and with this great month comes Earth Month, Week & Earth Day. Our founders birthday is also Earth Day so we always enjoy a fun Earth Day Birthday! Last year we did a countdown to Earth Day with 7 Tips leading up to the 22nd, and this year we will again do a countdown. The 5 day countdown this year will go Today - Friday and end on the Monday of Earth Day.
It's not that we're completely clueless about shielding ourselves from the sun's harmful UV rays, it's just that we slip up in the details, such as how long to wait before putting on more sunscreen, when to toss the half used bottle, and what body parts are most vulnerable to solar radiation. This, in part, might explain why the rate of skin cancer in the US remains stubbornly high. It's the most common form of cancer affecting more people than breast. Lung, Prostate, and colon cancers combined. And its deadliest form, melanoma, is on the rise.
We've all seen it, whether your looking for it or not, those "USDA Organic" labels are showing up more, and in more places too. It's no longer pushed into a "special" corner or separated from the bunch, and it's also available year round. It's now called "Big Organic" and you can find non local organic foods in the grocery aisles year-round, thanks to organics' meteoric expansion during the past three decades. It's at this intersection of supply and demand where some people question organics' exponential growth wondering if the movement has lost its soul along the way.
For our 3rd Earth Day Tip, we wanted to play to you creators! Someone who likes to take something old or used and make not only something creative, but really cool & different. We're also going off an idea that is not necessarily new, but has picked up a newer alias called "Upcycling". There are a ton of materials that can be upcycled as well as different levels of difficulty to pulling them off, so we chose 6 ideas we though landed somewhere in the middle. So lets get into it -
I was recently reading through the Sunday paper and this stat caught my attention: "Cancer cases expected to surge 57% worldwide in the next 20 years." For some reason these stats don't really surprise me anymore, It's all doom, gloom and shock in the news it seems. The next line was "its an imminent "human disaster" that will require a renewed focus on prevention to combat," according to the World Health Organization. Really? You're just coming up with this?
Today's Earth Day Tip is all about getting kids involved. Here are some fun ideas to inspire and encourage the young people in our lives to value and protect the earth and all its living creatures.
Its that time of year again...... of course we're talking about "Peach Month" & Peach season! The sweet and versatile fruit is a favorite among many families as we don't have a chance to get spoiled with it throughout the year. Peaches are best from June to the end of August and is the usual time we get our peaches here in the states. What you may not know about peaches is how surprisingly healthy than can be for you! Stick with us here for a few minutes and you'll see how you can get a great health boost in the next month, while enjoying the flavorful fruit.
They're called "super agers" - men and women who are in their 80's & 90's, but with brains and memories that seem far younger. Researchers are looking at this rare group in the hope that they may find ways to help protect others from memory loss.
Those nutrition labels on the back of food packages may soon become easier to read and understand. The Food and Drug Administration says knowledge about nutrition has evolve over the last 20 years, and the labels need to reflect that.
The holidays are behind us and the sun & nice weather seem like a only a distant dream. No wonder we feel like climbing back into bed. According to Consumer Reports, up to 20 percent of adults suffer from subsyndromal SAD, a milder from of seasonal affective disorder, better known as the winter blues.
It's not uncommon to turn to food when you need a pick me up. But too often, food choices derail our plans to eat healthy. Foods can have a noticeable effect on our moods. We know that eating healthy will help us lose weight, but there are so many other benefits. For one, you'll feel more upbeat and energized. Now munching on blueberries isn't going to do much for you if you've just devoured a double cheeseburger, but eating healthy foods, at least 80% of the time, will help you find more energy, think more clearly and lose weight.
One question I wish I'd known the answer to a long time ago is: Can you trust a non toxic or green cleaning products label?
It's tough when they're not really tested. Here are some statistics:
So consider this point: If the company has been making a chemically based product for years and then suddenly when the market trend shifts towards natural and non-toxic products comes out with a so called "natural" or "green" product that should definitely raise a big red flag. Where is their motive? True product safety OR profit margin!
Companies that start out with a deep commitment to safety first & non toxicity to humans and the environment tend to stay true to that philosophy. Many other companies will shift back and forth based on a trending market, not a true commitment.
That's the answer to a question I wish I'd known much earlier: Can you trust a non toxic or green cleaning products label? If you liked this article and want to get more like it go to TheGetGreenKey.Com and you can get my 20 free articles on the TOP things you MUST know about your cleaning & laundry products & what things I wish I'd know a long time ago!

The argument that a vegetarian diet is more planet-friendly than a carnivorous one is straightforward: If we feed plants to animals, and then eat the animals, we use more resources and produce more greenhouse gases than if we simply eat the plants.
As with most arguments about our food supply, through , it's not that simple. Although beef is always climatically costly, pork or chicken can be a better choice than broccoli, calorie for calorie. Comparing cows with pigs, and meat with plants, is often done using data from the Environmental Working Group, which produced a report in 2011 that detailed the environmental cost of meat. The report includes a chart that ranks various foods according the amount of emissions generated in the course of production.
Ruminants are the worst offenders, with lamb generating 39 kilograms of carbons dioxide for each kilogram of meat, and beef generating 27. Then come pork (12), turkey (11) and chicken (7). Plants are all lower, ranging from potatoes (3) to lentils (1). But there's another way to look at the same information. If you stop eating beef, you can't replace a kilogram of it, which has 2,280 calories, with a kilogram of broccoli, at 340 calories. You have to replace it with 6.7 kilograms of broccoli. Calories are the great equalizer, and it makes sense to use them as the basis of the calculation.
"There are other arguments, on both sides – so many that it's easy to pic the ones that make the case for whichever kind of agriculture you're inclined to support. Grass-fed cows don't compete for plants humans can eat, and animals grazing on non-irrigated pastures don't compete for water that could be used to grow food (true), but grass digestion creates more methane than grain digestion (also true)."
When you reorder the chart to look at climate impact by calorie, the landscape looks different. The ruminants still top the chart, but the monogastrics look a whole lot better. Low-calorie crops like broccoli don't do so well. Although beef still looks bad and beans still look good, pork and poultry are on a par with green vegetables. (Which means that a beef-and-leaf paleo diet is the worst choice going environmentally speaking)
The claim that vegetarianism is kinder to the planet also fails to consider a couple of kinds of meat that aren't on the Environmental Working Group's chart.
Deer and Canadian geese do active damage in the areas where they're over populated, and wild pigs leave destruction in their path wherever they go. Eat one of those, and do the planet a favor.
Most people, though, are most likely to get their food from the farm, and it's important to note that, although the chart attaches one number to each kind of food, farming styles vary widely and not all pork chops or tomatoes, or eggs are created equal. Unfortunately, its all but impossible for us consumers to figure out the climate impact of the particular specimens on our dinner table, whether they're animal or vegetable.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, organic agriculture's CO2 emissions per acre are significantly less than those of conventional agriculture. But yields per acre are also generally lower, and that mitigates the savings. Counterintuitively, the strawberry you buy from the farmer down the road might have a bigger environmental footprint that the strawberry you buy from far away, where a large farm in an ideal climate may grow it more efficiently. But it might not. You can't know. It's maddening.
When it comes to meat, trying to eat responsibly presents a genuine conundrum: What's best for the planet is often what's worst for the animal. The efficiencies of modern conventional livestock farming do indeed decrease greenhouse gases, but they also require the confinement and high density that draw the ire of animal welfare advocates.
"The case for plants has to include their nutritional value. Carbon aside, broccoli beats pork, hand down."
Growing an animal as quickly as possible decreases climate impact because it's that many fewer days (or weeks or months) the animal is here to pollute. Increasing feed efficiency likewise decreases the acreage devoted to growing the animal's food.
Rich Pirog, senior associate director of the Center for Regional Food Systems at Michigan State University, has studied the environmental impact of various ways of raising livestock; he has co-authored studies of Iowa cattle and pigs. For beef, he found that feedlots, where cattle are kept at high densities and fed grain, beat pastures, where animals are allowed to graze, in the tally of environmental impact. (A study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academics of Science reached a similar conclusion.)
There are other arguments, on both sides – so many that it's easy to pic the ones that make the case for whichever kind of agriculture you're inclined to support. Grass-fed cows don't compete for plants humans can eat, and animals grazing on non-irrigated pastures don't compete for water that could be used to grow food (true), but grass digestion creates more methane than grain digestion (also true). Grazing cattle on grasslands can sequester carbon in the soil, but improperly managed grazing can make things worse rather than better. Pollution from manure reservoirs on conventional farms can threaten water and crops, but manure in reservoirs, from animals in confinement, can be converted to energy by methane digesters. Then there's the price of meat, inevitably high in less efficient systems.
The meat vs other meat debate is irrelevant to the committed vegetarian, but there are issues other than greenhouse gases in the meat vs plant debate, too. The case for meat includes the ability of an animal to contribute constructively on an integrated farm (chickens help with pest control), the potential for turning food waste (spent grain, whey, expired dairy) into high-quality protein, and the ability to use grasslands, inappropriate for row crops, to produce human food (with grazing cows or goats).
The case for plants has to include their nutritional value. Carbon aside, broccoli beats pork, hand down. And it has to consider killing, which many plant eaters find unacceptable. While the moral implications are beyond the brief of a column devoted to matters of fact, we all have to acknowledge that agriculture is an animal killing enterprise. Does the rat, poisoned because it's a threat to the grain stores, count for less than the pig, raised and slaughtered with care?
There is no one label (vegetarian, local, organic) that carries all the responsibility. There isn't a last word, which means there's not a lot of room for sanctimony. While I think we all need to pay attentions, vegetarians shouldn't tell omnivores to eat quinoa instead of pork any more than omnivores should tell vegetarians to eat venison instead of quinoa.

Try colorful fruits like cranberries, plums or pineapple. These fruits contain antioxidants that fight off free radicals known to drain energy and damage neurons in the brain. Leafy greens such as spinach and Swiss chard are also packed with antioxidants. Aim for several servings of colorful fruits and leafy greens per day.
For sharper focus, reach for foods rich in omega-3 fats, such as salmon, mackerel, herring or sardines. Fatty-acid-rich foods help cushion your brain cells, improving mood and memory. These foods will help you feel better, and can reduce your risk for dementia down the road. Aim for 3 servings a week.
You may be temped to grab a bag of chips. Instead, peel an orange. Oranges can give you an instant energy and mood boost. This super-nutritious citrus fruit is full of vitamin C, which helps pump oxygen through your body and brain to recharge your system.
Snacking on vitamin-C rich bell peppers and citrus fruits may contribute to lower levels of cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone that is released when your body goes into "fight or flight" mode. Research suggests large doses of vitamin C may actually stop stress before it starts by reducing the amount of cortisol released.
Enjoy a handful of dried, tart cherries before you call it a night. Besides their rich supply of antioxidants, cherries are high in melatonin, the hormone that improves quality of sleep. An increase in the hormone may tell your brain it's time to wind down for the night.
Reach for a handful of nuts like almonds and pecans. Why? They are high in B vitamins, such as thiamine, which may improve the body's ability to withstand stress.
So the next time your feeling one of the above emotions, reach for these foods to boost your mood! Do you have a favorite mood boost food you go to? Let us know in the comments below.

Each summer since 1994, a few soybean fields throughout Iowa have been attacked by imported longhorned weevils. This insect is typically a minor pest, but serious defoliation can occur when the beetles concentrate in border rows or spots in a field. Problems typically appear in mid-June and early July. The weevils are almost always associated with grass, either following set-aside ground or dispersing out of adjacent pasture. The weevils can strip all the leaves from V5 or smaller soybean plants, but older plants apparently produce leaves faster than the weevils can defoliate them. The weevils cannot fly, so the injury is often confined to border rows or very small areas of a field. I have never seen, or heard, of an infestation defoliating an entire field. There are no economic thresholds for this insect.

Chemical control of imported longhorned weevils has proved difficult, based on my experience and that of others. In 1994, I evaluated three insecticides against this pest and found that Lorsban 4E (1 pint per acre) and Sevin XLR Plus (1 pint per acre) gave better control than Pounce 3.2EC (4 ounces per acre). Even in the Lorsban and Sevin plots, not all weevils were killed at these low-end manufacturer's label rates. If a field is sprayed, I would recommend confining the insecticide to only those areas where the weevil occurs, and using the high label rate of either Lorsban (2 pints per acre) or Sevin (2 pints per acre) for controlling this insect.

After more than a year of development, green building industry leaders today officially released the Health Product Declaration (HPD) Open Standard Version 1, an open standard format for reporting contents and chemical hazards in building products. The announcement was made by the Health Product Declaration Collaborative, a new non-profit membership group that will manage the HPD Open Standard. The Collaborative held a press conference on Nov. 11 at the Interface's Greenbuild exhibit, Booth 1413S, South Hall.
The HPD Open Standard is available free to all at www.hpdcollaborative.org. Building product manufacturers will use it to provide standardized disclosure of product contents, emissions and health information. The HPD Open Standard streamlines the process for communicating and using this information by defining the critical information that is needed by building designers, specifiers, owners and users to make informed decisions.
The HPD Open Standard Version 1 was developed in a process led by the Health Product Declaration Pilot Project Committee, with the participation of 29 building product manufacturers and 50 expert reviewers from across the building industry. The newly-formed HPD Collaborative will develop, maintain, and evolve the HPD Open Standard to ensure that the format continues to meet the needs of building users (designers, specifiers, building owners and occupants) for reporting building product and material contents and associated health information.
The HPD Collaborative is a non-profit, membership organization, governed by a 15 member volunteer Board of Directors. Meredith Elbaum, formerly the Director of Sustainable Design at Sasaki is the HPD Collaborative's Interim Executive Director. HPD Collaborative members will participate on committees that revise the HPD over time to better serve the needs of the industry.
Individual memberships are available for $125 with reduced rates for students.

Goat Cheese & Chorizo Rolls
These crispy rolls, adapted from the cookbook Nirmala's Edible Diary are a riff on Argentinean street food.
Slideshow: More Tasty Snacks
- Total Time:
- Servings: Makes 18 rolls
- Nine 12-by-16-inch sheets of thawed phyllo dough
- Melted butter, for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced chives
- 8 ounces fresh goat cheese
- 1 cup chopped dry chorizo
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 400° and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the goat cheese, chorizo and chives; season with salt and pepper.
Lay a sheet of phyllo on a clean, dry work surface and brush it with melted butter. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets, lightly buttering each sheet as you go. Cut the phyllo into 6 rectangles. Place a tablespoon of the goat cheese filling at the base of each rectangle and roll up the phyllo, folding in the sides. Set the rolls on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat twice more to make 18 rolls total. Brush the rolls with butter; bake for 10 minutes, until golden. Serve hot.
Suggested Pairing
A Malbec from Argentina's Mendoza would pair well with Nirmala's goat-cheese rolls.

A former CIA agent is going on the record to say the alleged UFO incident on July 8, 1947, in Roswell, N.M., really happened, the Daily Mail and other news organizations report.
Chase Brandon, who worked 35 years with the CIA, said documents regarding the alleged landing of beings from outer space are locked up at the CIA's headquarters in Langley, Va.
"It was in a vaulted area - there was one box that really caught my eye," the Daily Mail quotes Brandon as saying. "It had one word on it: Roswell. I rummaged inside it, put the box on the shelf and said, 'My God, it really happened.' "
Brandon makes the comments during the 65th anniversary of the alleged incident, which military officials initially explained as the capture of "a disc," but later explained away as a weather balloon, according to the Daily Mail.
"It was not a weather balloon - it was what people first reported," the news organization quotes Brandon as saying.
The Huffington Post quotes Brandon as saying, "It was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet."
Brandon worked as an undercover, covert operations officer in the CIA's Clandestine Service, where he focused on missions on international terrorism, counterinsurgency, global narcotics and weapons smuggling, according to Huffington. He spent his final decade with the agency as liaison to the entertainment and publication industries, and it was during this time - in the mid 1990s - that he walked into the vaulted Historical Intelligence Collection area at CIA headquarters, according to the news organization.
Brandon said the box contained written material and photographs, according to Huffington.
"That's all I will ever say to anybody about the contents of that box," Huffington quoted Brandon as saying. "But it absolutely for me was the single validating moment that everything I had believed and knew that so many others believed had happened truly was what occurred."

By now news of Savita Halappanavar's senseless death has traveled around the world, drawing attention to Ireland's near-total ban on abortion and the horrific consequences of such policies. This is not a stand-alone case. Every 90 seconds a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth, totaling more than 350,000 deaths worldwide each year. Nearly all of these deaths occur in developing countries, where access to modern medical care is scarce.
What makes Savita's story so shocking is that she died in a modern hospital in a developed European country. We health advocates spend a lot of time and energy fighting for the kind of access Savita (almost) had. Hers was a planned pregnancy. She herself was a medical professional, a dentist, who recognized the warning signs of pregnancy complications. When she felt severe pains, she and her husband didn't have to travel far to reach a clean, modern hospital where her health problems were quickly diagnosed. And when she learned that she was miscarrying and that her life was in danger, she asked her doctor about her options and requested that her pregnancy be ended before it killed her.
Cecile Richards: Savita's Death Was Not an Isolated Incident

Published: June 16, 2011 at 6:57 PMFWIW, looking back at our our predictions of what would happen in the report, Eric G came closest to getting the Top 10 order correct, missing only the Hollywood Studios/Animal Kingdom flip.
Published: June 16, 2011 at 7:25 PMThe gap between Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom has closed over the past three years, with Disneyland climbing from 14.7 million in 2008 to 16 million in 2010 and the Magic Kingdom declining from 17.1 million to 16.9 million. That's a 1.5 million visitor swing in three years. I expect the gap to close further in 2011, with Star Tours bringing in more visitors to Disneyland while people stay away from the MK due to the Fantasyland construction.
In 2012 though? Well, then things get interesting.
Published: June 16, 2011 at 7:43 PMThis day is like Christmas for Mr. Niles. Statistics AND theme parks? For RN this is like ... numbers crack!
While the Disney dip in Orlando is certainly noteworthy, the loss seems rather insignificant (especially compared to Sea World's debacle). Considering the size of SWO's drop, one wonders how long trainers will stay out of the water.
Potter fans can spin away, but there's no doubt that, once again, Disney DOMINATES.
Disney's six U.S. parks take the top six domestic spots by welcoming 69.3 million guests -- boasting an average of 11.55 million visitors per park.
By comparison the three Universal parks brought in 16.92 million guests -- averaging 5.64 million visitors per park, or less than half that of the Disney parks.
Worldwide Disney holds slots one thru eight. The sum total attendance of the planet's eleven Disney theme parks is an ASTOUNDING 116.6 million guests. Correct me if I am wrong, but that's like, the entire population of a country that has 116.6 million residents!
(1) The impact the earthquake has on attendance at the parks in Japan.
(2) What (if any) will be the drop-off at Islands of Adventure after Potter is no longer "the new thing."
Published: June 16, 2011 at 7:40 PMGeez, what happened at Seaworld San Diego and Busch Gardens Williamsburg? I understand the Seaworld Orlando. This recession must be hurting the higher end regional parks.
Published: June 16, 2011 at 8:12 PMHmm...interesting numbers.....I'm curious to see if the recent price hike at the Disneyland parks in Aneheim will have any significant effect on the attendance numbers for 2011...
Published: June 16, 2011 at 8:26 PMHey, a couple people made the correct predictions in this thread, too!
Gotta go with TH here... saying "Universal Orlando closes the gap with Disney..." is like saying, "The Monkees matched the Beatles" because of their initial wave of success in 1967.
One thing no one really saw coming was that IOA's Harry Potter expansion would have such a dramatic impact on SeaWorld. Sure, people thought IOA would pass SWO, but did anyone think it would be at the expense of SWO? It looks like vacationers did change their Orlando plans: instead of venturing off WDW property to go to SeaWorld as they had in previous years, they went to IOA. Interesting.
Also, the fact that BGW slipped a bit shows that you can't just rip out a classic and beloved coaster (Big Bad Wolf) and not impact your bottom line!
Can we finally pencil in Knotts Berry Farm as the flagship Cedar Fair park? ;)
I'm shocked Worlds of Fun has not yet made the list. Shocked, I tell you!
As for 2012, DCA is gonna have an even bigger attendance boost. Cars Land is going to be a monster hit.
Published: June 16, 2011 at 8:38 PMThe SeaWorlds in Orlando and San Diego have had three straight years of declining attendance, according to AECOM - the only top parks in America to do so. Meanwhile, Disneyland, California Adventure and Disney's Animal Kingdom were the only parks to score three straight years of increases.
One other park that struck me was Universal Studios Hollywood. Recovering from the backlot fire and adding King Kong 360/3D helped the park score a huge attendance increase. Add that to the Disneyland Resort's continued strength, as well as Legoland California's self-reported growth, and I suspect that while Harry Potter hurt SeaWorld in Orlando, it's been the triple-team of Disneyland, Legoland and Universal Hollywood cutting into SeaWorld in San Diego. The new Manta can't arrive quickly enough.
As for those Disneyland parks, I don't think the price increase will matter one bit. Attendance will rise this year due to Star Tours and Little Mermaid and next year due to Cars Land.
On the international list, I expect to see Universal Studios Singapore knocking SeaWorld San Diego from the top 25 in 2011. But, again, my batting average on these predictions would get me cut from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Published: June 16, 2011 at 9:14 PMGood to see SFGA make the list. Its, in my opinion, a park that hasn't risen to its full potental. Its a good park that, with some good investment, can be a great park.
Its interesting to see that Disney really still takes the cake in what is being considered a "bad" year. Even with Harry Potter, IOA can't take AK or DHS! Heck even the park everybody loves to hate, DCA, is doing great.
Published: June 16, 2011 at 9:51 PMDisney may not listen to its fans, but it certainly listens to numbers. Hopefully, the overtaking of Hollywood Studios by Animal Kingdom will get them in gear to overhaul the former. Star Tours was a great start, but significant work remains.
Good for IoA. That's a pretty amazing jump. If they want to keep that position, they better spruce up the rest of the park, much of which is dilapidated.
Published: June 17, 2011 at 12:06 AMThe thing that holds Disneyland back from surpassing Magic Kingdom is the issue of capacity. DL just doesn't have it in abundance like MK does, even though DL squeezes in many more attractions. On the other hand, the intimacy of DL is the reason why it is the best park in the world. Hopefully future attendance figures will bear this out.
What's Legoland California's numbers? I'd be surprised that they didn't reach 2 million guests in a year.

I Respond: I certainly agree with that assessment. I also think MK attracts a more international audience. The economy of Brazil seems to be pretty strong and (although this is anecdotal) friends and family who are WDW cast members have remarked on an increased presence of Brazilian guests over the past year. God Bless them we love them. I am hoping with all of my heart that rumors of a planned Brazilian Showcase at EPCOT come to pass.
Mr. Perkins writes: "On the other hand, the intimacy of DL is the reason why it is the best park in the world."
I Respond: While I disagree with that assertion I will contend that regardless of how the parks match-up in terms of quality there should be little (if any) doubt that when the Fantasyland expansion opens (with the Disney NextGen features) WDWMK will be (hands down) a far better park than its predecessor.

Published: June 17, 2011 at 8:37 AMI think the Brit market doesnt really hit Disneyland either. The Disney advertising here has been for Disneyland Paris and WDW... I dont think it would hurt to push the West Coast here, I know a lot of people who are going/have been to California this year - more than Florida. Although I dont know the exact figures for Brit attendance but with the amount of flights that land in Orlando/Sanford each day....my mind just did a little boggle :-)
Published: June 17, 2011 at 10:09 AMIn response to TH Creative's first post, it's like having the ENTIRE population plus of Mexico (the 11th most populous country in the world), going to the Disney Parks in one year.
Published: June 17, 2011 at 10:24 AMIn regard to Knott's Crappy Farm, they may have increased their attendance, but they did it by giving away the admission. They sold annual passes for less than the price of 1 day admission and they are usually 1/2 or less than Disneyland (and that's still about 75% too much).
Published: June 17, 2011 at 12:06 PMI was glad to see that Hersheypark and Busch Gardens topped Kings Dominion even with their big coaster addition. Kings Dominion needs to see that these other parks provide MUCH better shows and family rides as well as better food. This makes the parks something that all age groups can enjoy. KD needs to look at this and make changes to return to its roots. Coasters alone are just going to bring a select group of guest. KD is unlike many of the other Cedar Fair parks in that people have more of a choice in that area. I hope they finally take note and see they need change!
Published: June 17, 2011 at 6:34 PMWhile surfing Youtube, I was struck by the fact that only around 160K have hit the "Play-Testing with Mickey Mouse" clip.
Does anyone know if the park's daily capacity limits would prevent it from reaching 20 million?
Published: June 18, 2011 at 8:54 AMI'm not surprised to see IOA to surpass USF in attendance, though barely. A lot of people wanting to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter went to both parks and I wonder if some went to USF thinking they had the Harry Potter land. What surprised me was USH increased so much. Did King Kong 360 generate that much buzz? Isn't it just a small part of the studio tour and not a ride on its own? I think the new Transformers ride will be huge for USH once it opens (and much needed).
Another thing that surprised me was Kings Island again surpassing Cedar Point. Does it have a longer operating season than CP? Also I wonder how far off Six Flags Magic Mountain was from the top 20 (#21?). I wouldn't be surprised if SFMM reentered the top 20 next year with the launch of Superman Escape from Krypton and the soon to be open Green Lantern First Flight. Also Knotts Berry Farm is getting close to surpassing Sea World San Diego for CA's #4 park, maybe next year?
Published: June 18, 2011 at 9:42 AMI was somewhat surprised to see Animal Kingdom is above Hollywood Studios, but I find it fitting since I personally would rather visit Animal Kingdom that Hollywood Studios and the last time I visited Walt Disney World I chose to go to Animal Kingdom but left off Hollywood Studios. It seems like it does not have enough trees for one thing; your in the hot sun all day..... you don't want to be in a brick city. That and then the lack of rides and attractions I actually care about.
Published: June 18, 2011 at 9:45 AMI'm really suprised by Disney's California Adventure being so high on the list (above Universal even). I personally would think people would be waiting to go there until after the expansion and makeover is close to being done (atleast until 2011 with the opening of Little Mermaid) so I am surprised at the high attendence for 2010..... but I assume that the attendence will go up the next two years because of all the awesome new things that are planned to open.
Published: June 18, 2011 at 9:48 AMI almost wish the Islands of Adventure was a little higher on the list just to shake Disney up enough that they would put more money into the other parks other than Magic Kingdom. I think they are doing awesome stuff with the Fantasyland Expansion, but the other parks could use something new added to them.
Maybe if Islands was a little higher on the list they would hurry up with the much needed Animal Kingdom addition to make it more of an all day park.
Published: June 18, 2011 at 11:17 AMYou might think those -1.5% numbers are pretty insignificant. but when it's 1.5% of a number like 17 million.. that's 255,000 guests less.. If you were to average them at $100 a head for admission/food/merch, that's a loss of over $25 million from the prior year.
Published: June 18, 2011 at 12:27 PMIf these numbers are strictly based on attendance..... I'm curious how they rank by profits and total money brought in by tickets.... (less tickets at a higher price for example might come out to be a bigger bang)
Published: June 19, 2011 at 8:51 AMThe power of Potter is very clearly shown in those attendance figures. Maybe the difference of increase between IOA and Universal Studios will be somewhat disappointing for the bosses at the resort, but apart from that it's been a great year for them.
Walt Disney World were always going to face drops this year. Ticket and hotel deals were less attractive and there has been no major new attractions to boast. Star Tours, if marketed properly, will likely see Hollywood Studios overtake Animal Kingdom once again this year.
SeaWorld is the big story, that's a huge drop. Universal have clearly made up some ground on Disney and took guests away from WDW for a day or so, SeaWorld need to get on that bandwagon and start clawing back so visitors.
Published: June 19, 2011 at 5:14 PMI hear a lot of talk about Harry Potter and how much it is doing for Univeral, and I do think it has enhanced their attendance..... but for them to still be what I would consider low on the attendance list (I mean they are below Animal Kingdom).... it makes me wonder.... what was their attendance like before? Because all I hear about lately is Harry Potter Harry Potter.... so if it is such a big deal and it only got them this much attendence.... What happens in the next few years when the newness where's off? I mean, I'm really surprised that it did not even beat out Animal Kingdom.... Especially after all that hype.
Published: June 19, 2011 at 7:38 PMThe answer to the Cedar Point/Kings Island operating season question is yes. Kings Island had a slightly longer operating season than Cedar Point, and they usually also have better weather in the spring and fall seasons. Weather generally is the deciding factor between which one wins. When comparing attendance figures, people often overlook the fact that parks like Cedar Point, Kings Island, and Canada's Wonderland only operate for about 120-130ish days a year as opposed to warmer weather operations, which are typically open year around or close to that. To pull over 3 million guests to the park in that amount of time is a great showing.
Nice to see a great place like Hersheypark also getting an attendance boost. A notable decline for me was Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, although it wasn't as big as I might have suspected. Kings Dominion whiffed with Intimidator when they shouldn't have (not completely their fault)...not to mention they have some work to do in other areas of their operation.
As great as the IOA comeback is, the Disney machine rolls on in terms of winning attendance battles. I suspect it will always be that way too. The multiple small parks and all of the hotels and ways to entice people to stay on the property multiply their attendance, regardless of the costs. Whether or not people are actually spending money in the Disney resort might be another story, but they certainly are buying tickets. For IOA, the magic of Harry Potter probably has another couple of years before it becomes just another great attraction, but I don't see it bringing another 30% increase. If Universal wants more Orlando market, they can't stop now. Disney is still in autopilot and perhaps even still recovering a bit from the freebie extravaganza of 2009-10. That won't last forever.
Published: June 21, 2011 at 5:42 AMNice discussion. IOA's numbers are where they should have been all along if you review the last 4 years.
USF attendance dropped over 4 years. The new coaster is always broken, and the Simpson ride is just a simulator.
The big question, is what makes so many people visit Disney?
I think it's babies growing up in Disney rooms, the moms take the kids to Disney year after year, as a way to show they're experts. Do you hear about kids growing up in Sea World rooms? They may have a stuffed Shamu toy, but that's about it.
Published: June 22, 2011 at 12:37 AMWhat a joy to find such clear thinking. Thanks for psoting!

Docket Management
Docket: 02N-0209 - Request for Comment on First Amendment Issues
Comment Number: EC -88
Accepted - Volume 2
Comment Record
Mrs. Dolly Lundberg
2002-05-31 17:52:33
Mrs. Dolly Lundberg
Comments for FDA General
1. Are there arguments for regulating speech about drugs more comprehensively than, for example, about dietary supplements? What must an administrative record contain to sustain such a position? In particular, could FDA sustain a position that certain promotional speech about drugs is inherently misleading, unless it complies with FDA requirements? Does anything turn on whether the speech is made to learned intermediaries or to consumers? What is the evidentiary basis of such a distinction?
I resent being told by you on the label, just what YOU FDA think is good or bad about the product. Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements are free under the first amendment speech rights to tell their story of the uses for the particular product. It is the consumer's responsibility to research the claims and make one's own decision as to the use or not of the product, regardless of the claims of the manufacturer. It is ludicrous of the FDA to usurp that right. It does a great disservice to the American Consumer!!!
2. Is FDA's current position regarding direct-to-consumer and other advertisements consistent with empirical research on the effects of those advertisements, as well as with relevant legal authority? What are the positive and negative effects, if any, of industry's promotion of prescription drugs, biologics, and/or devices? Does the current regulatory approach and its implementation by industry lead to over-prescription of drugs? Do they increase physician visits or patient compliance with medication regimes? Do they cause patient visits that lead to treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry lead to adequate treatment for under-diagnosed diseases? Do they lead to adequate patient understanding of the potential risks associated with use of drugs? Does FDA's current approach and its implementation by industry create any impediments to the ability of doctors to give optimal medical advice or prescribe optimal treatment?
As I rarely use prescription drugs, I don't have a real interest to comment on this section, except to say that when I wish to know what you or the manufacturer may say, claim, are the benefits and the risks of use, I am capable of researching the matter. With the great information highway available to even the least educated in this great country, again, the responsibility resides with the consumer to make the decision whether to use a product based upon available information.
3. May FDA distinguish claims concerning conventional foods from those relating to dietary supplements, taking into account limits on claims that can be made about foods in the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, 21 U.S.C. 301, 321, 337, 343, 371? What must an administrative record contain to sustain or deny claims on food labels? How can information best be presented in a succinct but non-misleading fashion? To what extent do assertions in claims need qualifications or disclaimers added to the label to avoid any misconceptions that consumers may draw? Is there a basis to believe that consumers approach claims about conventional foods and dietary supplements differently?
More and more consumers are educating themselves regarding claims made by and through manufacturers and regulatory agencies such as you and your NL&E Act. I think the world would be a better place with a little less regulation and more education.
4. Should disclaimers be required to be in the same (or smaller or larger) size of type and given equal prominence with claims? Is there any relevant authority or social science research on this issue?
I really don't care what size disclaimers and claims might be posted upon products. In many cases the disclaimers are made just to protect the drug manufacturers, FDA and other agencies. If placed there, no matter the print size, if the consumer chooses to read them, they will, even if they have to get glasses or a magnifying glass to do so.
5. How can warnings be made most effective in preventing harm while minimizing the chances of consumer confusion or inattention? Is there any evidence as to which types of warnings consumers follow or disregard?
I am not aware of which type of warnings other consumers follow or disregard. I have no suggestions as to how you may or may not make them more effective.
6. What arguments or social science evidence, if any, can be used to support distinguishing between claims made in advertisements and those made on labels? Does the First Amendment and the relevant social science evidence afford the Government greater latitude over labels?
Don't hinder manufacturers and suppliers from educating the consumer as to the merits and empiricle uses of their products/supplements whether it be in advertising or on the labels. Again, it is my opinion that the consumer or buyer beware, and take the responsibility himself as to the claims made regarding any product. Life's experience proves the wisdom in applying this habit to most uses and purchases through the years.
7. Would permitting speech by manufacturer, distributor, and marketer about off-label uses undermine the act's requirement that new uses must be approved by the FDA? If so, how? If not, why not? What is the extent of FDA's ability to regulate speech concerning off-label uses?
Keep your hands and mouths and regulations off of our FREE speech rights in all matters. Thank you.
8. Do FDA's speech-related regulations advance the public health concerns they are designed to address? Are there other alternative approaches that FDA could pursue to accomplish those objectives with fewer restrictions on speech?
No the restrictive regulations do not advance the health concerns of the public. In many cases they hinder.
9. Are there any regulations, guidance, policies, and practices FDA should change, in light of governing First Amendment authority?
Do not stop claims of dietary supplements and other products. Let the consumer make his own choices based upon his own decision-making processes.

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar is set to launch a major remodeling program that includes upgraded exteriors and warmer color tones, Dow Jones Newswire reported.
Applebee's is testing several variations of the facelift and plans to settle on one in the upcoming months, the report said.
The initiative is the latest prong, after upgrading food, marketing and operations, undertaken in revitalizing Applebee's since IHOP purchased the bar-and-grill chain in 2007 for $2.1 billion, creating DineEquity (DIN).

Jay-Z And Beyoncé Fired Bodyguard For Hiring Sex Worker, "Using Family's Passports In A Lewd Act"
It's so hard to find good help these days! Beyoncé and Jay-Z had to fire former bodyguard Norman Oosterbroek last year, after he hired a sex worker while traveling with the family in Las Vegas and filmed himself "using the family's passports in a lewd act."
According to the New York Daily News, the couple paid off "a major print publication" so they would not publish a story about the gross incident, which also must have been when they learned about it in the first place. Oosterbroek had served as a bodyguard for Beyoncé, Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy after working with other celebrities like Rihanna and Nelson Mandela. The couple trusted him and were "furious" by his perverse behavior. Of course, they were also concerned his irresponsible behavior could put their child at risk. So they fired him at some point in the past year, effectively making him unemployable as a bodyguard throughout the celebrity universe.
Oosterbroek, who had struggled with substance abuse in the past, fell into a depression after getting canned by Jayoncé. He was killed on September 2 in Florida after allegedly imbibing drugs and getting Tasered when he broke into a neighbor's home while naked.

Disappearing sea ice in Antarctica is putting emperor penguins at risk of extinction, researchers warn.
"The population is declining," says Hal Caswell, senior scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and an author of a new study in Nature Climate Change. "Unless something changes to stop that, the population will go into extinction."
By 2100, the entire population could decrease by one-third, with all 45 of the known emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica taking a hit. The biggest drops will happen on the coasts of the western Indian Ocean and eastern Weddell Sea, The Guardian says.
The main food source of penguins is krill, and young krill eat the algae on ice; as the ice is lost, the supply of krill drops. The researchers say that one way to help the penguins would be putting them under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. Also, "given this new research, and what we already know about global temperatures warming and the changing climate," says Andrea Kavanagh, director of global penguin conservation for the Pew Charitable Trusts, the U.S. should immediately "put a marine reserve in place so we can make sure we are not fishing in areas where the penguins need to forage for food."

Republican lawmakers have rallied to urge President Trump against firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, an option Trump has repeatedly indicated he is considering.
Sessions' most eager defender may be Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who called Sessions "one of the most decent people I've ever met in my political life" and labeled Trump's tweets about him "highly inappropriate." Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted his statement Wednesday morning:
Served with Jeff Sessions for 6 yrs. Always honest & transparent. When he's with you no better ally,when against you,tough adversary 1/2
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 26, 2017
Jeff Session's not caricature created by those who don't know him. Even when we disagreed on immigration I saw his fairness & kindness 2/2
— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) July 26, 2017
Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Luther Strange (R-Ala.), and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) all stated their support for Sessions' character, as did former lawmaker Newt Gingrich. "There's a lot of good in Jeff Sessions," Gingrich said Monday. "I think it would be a big mistake for the president to do anything except move forward with him."
Trump told reporters Tuesday only "time will tell" whether he gives Sessions the ax; in the meantime, Sessions reportedly has no plans to resign. Bonnie Kristian
On Tuesday, the Senate very narrowly voted to open debate on a bill to at least repeal much of the Affordable Care Act, and Tuesday night, nine Republicans and 48 Democrats and independents shot down Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare. (McConnell's modified Better Care Reconciliation Act "is not necessarily dead," Axios notes. "Another, simpler version — like the most recent one scored by the Congressional Budget Office — could still come up later in the process.")
Late Wednesday morning or early afternoon, the Senate is expected to vote on a measure to repeal ObamaCare without a replacement plan, similar to a bill Republicans passed in 2015, thwarted by former President Barack Obama's veto. It is widely expected to fail, too. If so, the last plausible option for Senate Republicans is to pass what's being called "skinny repeal," scrapping ObamaCare's personal and employee mandates and a medical device tax, but leaving Medicaid, ObamaCare subsidies, benefit regulations, and everything else in place. "Basically no senators will like it," Politico explains, "but they may vote for it just to keep the repeal drive going."
Assuming the House wouldn't hold an up-or-down vote on the "skinny repeal" bill, it would go to a House-Senate conference committee, where Republicans would try to come up with a bill that could pass in both chambers. "The endgame is to be able to move something at the end of this process across the Senate floor that can get 50 votes and then to get into conference with the House," said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.).
Before a final vote, the Senate will consider dozens of amendments, in what's being called "vote-a-rama" sessions, likely starting Thursday night. The Senate parliamentarian will also likely be asked to approve or throw out measures that don't meet the restrictions of the budget reconciliation process Republicans are using. Nobody knows where this unusual legislative effort to modify a huge chunk of the economy and a health-care system used by tens of millions of Americans will end, but it is expected to conclude early Friday. "All we have to do today is to have the courage to begin the debate with an open amendment process," McConnell told his caucus on Tuesday. "And let the voting take us where it will." Peter Weber
With all the turnover in President Trump's six-month-old White House, you might get the impression that Trump is deploying his famous TV catchphrase, "You're fired," on a fairly regular basis. But other than FBI Director James Comey, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, and acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Trump has "taken a passive-aggressive approach, preferring to demean, diminish, and demoralize subordinates" until they resign," The Washington Post concludes, pointing to outgoing White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer as a prime example and, to some extent, senior press aide Michael Short, who resigned Tuesday after White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci confirmed to Politico that he was on tap to be fired.
And in the cases of Comey, Yates, and Bharara, Trump did not personally fire any of them, sending deputies to do the job. (Comey found out from the TV set during a speech in Los Angeles, Yates from an apologetic Trump political appointee sent by White House counsel Don McGahn, and Bharara from acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente.) White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon, considered a goner in the press months ago, weathered Trump's leaked displeasure by lowering his public profile. Now, Trump is heaping public abuse on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, apparently to get him to quit, and Sessions has few good options available.
Trump "can't seem to fire them, but he doesn't hesitate to abuse them publicly," presidential historian Robert Dallek tells the Post. "Presidents have people in their Cabinet they're less than enamored with, but they don't go out in public and demean them, denounce them," he added. "They do things with a certain decorum, and this man lacks presidential decorum. He is so vulgar in the way he proceeds and is so lacking in good taste."
Trump has played up his "You're fired" catchphrase, but according to Celebrity Apprentice alumnus Clay Aiken, it was NBC executives and producers, not Trump, who made the calls on which Apprentice contestants to fire. "He didn't make those decisions," Aiken told the Raleigh News & Observer. "He didn't fire those people." Peter Weber
Stephen Colbert likens Trump to Jeff Sessions' bad boyfriend, is speechless over the GOP health-care mess
Stephen Colbert said on Tuesday's Late Show that he had no words to describe what the U.S. government has been doing over the past 24 hours. "It's like describing a new color that you've never seen before, and this color is made of all the other colors dying," he said, "like if a rainbow got gangrene." Then he spent the next three minutes trying to explain what the Senate is doing with health care.
Republicans have tried to repeal ObamaCare three times so far this year, "but they finally figured out why they failed," Colbert said. "They failed because people knew what was in their bill — huge mistake. So today, they raised the bar on lowering the bar." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's big idea was to have the Senate vote to consider approving an unwritten health-care bill. "It's a black box we can't see inside — it's Schrödinger's health care, but the cat is probably dead because it doesn't have health insurance," Colbert said. "They now have 20 hours of debate to fine-tune the bill that they did not write for the past seven years. It should be fine — they already know the big stuff, like it will be printed on paper, and that's it."
The second big pile of craziness out of Washington was Trump's speech to the Boy Scout Jamboree, and the third was his mounting abuse of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Colbert read Trump's latest tweets, starting with the president's complaint that the "beleaguered" Sessions isn't investigating Hillary Clinton's "crimes & Russia relations." Trump's "got a point," Colbert said. "He's not looking into Hillary's ties to Russia, and during the debates, we know she met with known Russian sympathizer Donald Trump at least three times, shared the stage with him!"
Why doesn't Trump just fire Sessions? Reportedly, he wants to humiliate Sessions until he quits. "Trump's like a bad boyfriend who's too scared to break up with you and is daring you to break up with him," Colbert said, with some exasperation. Sessions apparently has no intention to end this, but Trump is reportedly already considering replacements, including Rudy Guiliani and Sen. Ted Cruz. "You know you want Cruz at the head of Justice," Colbert said. " We all remember how Trump spent the campaign calling him 'Truthful Ted.'" He ended by having Sessions — or a diminutive facsimile thereof — explain his anger at Trump. Watch below. Peter Weber
President Trump's speech in West Virginia on Monday to the Boy Scout Jamboree was unusual, and in some regards, kind of shocking. On Tuesday, The Late Show kicked off with a version that might send chills down your spine.
Stephen Colbert was bemused by Trump's baldly political, sometimes partisan speech, but maybe not by why Trump addressed the jamboree. "It's no surprise he went to the Boy Scouts — with all his scandals, he needs someone who's good at putting out fires," he joked. The Boy Scouts is a nonpartisan organization for boys and teens, but, of course, Trump "did his thing," Colbert sighed, beginning an annotated walk through the unorthodox address, from Trump bragging about the crowd size to his strange aside about being able to say "Merry Christmas" again, to his lighthearted threats to fire Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.
After dumping on the uncynical civic spirit of the Boy Scouts, Trump — who was never a Scout — began reciting the Boy Scout oath, but he stopped short at the word "loyalty," joking that he and America could use more of it. "We could use more loyalty," Colbert agreed. "For instance, that guy on stage just threatened to fire the guy he said was doing a good job. And then — as if Trump's insecurities and personal obsessions were not enough to pour poison into the ears of children — he told them this story." After Trump's tale of a ruined millionaire and his sex yacht, Colbert was ... inspired. "Now that they've heard from the president, the Scouts have updated their oath," he said, putting on a neck scarf, holding up three fingers, and taking Trump's speech to its logical, absurd conclusion. Watch below. Peter Weber
Barbara Sinatra was still married to former Marx Brother Zeppo Marx when she started a relationship with Frank Sinatra, whom she wed in 1976. But Sinatra had unsuccessfully hit on her in 1957, when he was drinking with his fellow Rat Pack pals at the Riviera casino in Las Vegas, where she was a showgirl. Barbara and Frank Sinatra's marriage lasted almost 22 years, until the singer's death in 1998. In that time, they founded and raised millions for the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, a nonprofit to help children who had been physically, mentally, or emotionally abused.
Barbara Sinatra died at her home in Rancho Mirage, California, on Tuesday, at age 90. John Thorensen, the director of Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, confirmed her death, which he attributed to natural causes. Barbara Sinatra was born in Bosworth, Missouri, in 1926; her butcher father moved the family to Wichita when she was 10, and she moved to California and became a model in the 1940s. She is survived by Robert Oliver Marx, her son from her first marriage, to singer Bob Oliver; his wife, Hillary; and a granddaughter, Carina Blakeley Marx. Peter Weber
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is 'just taking a little time off,' not quitting, his spokeswoman says
Rex Tillerson has never been the most energetic, popular, or accessible secretary of state, but when reporters noticed that his public schedule has not listed any public events or other information for a few days, or been incorrect, they asked State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert on Tuesday why the department isn't saying where Tillerson is or has been. "He does have the ability to go away for a few days on his own," she said, and Tillerson is "just taking a little time off" after his "mega-trip overseas" earlier this month to the G-20 summit, plus trips to Ukraine, Turkey, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. "He's entitled to take a few days himself," Nauert said, though she wasn't sure why the schedule just said he was taking vacation days.

— CSPAN (@cspan) July 25, 2017
Nauert declined to say if Tillerson is happy at his job, but said that recent reports that he's considering quitting the Trump administration are "false." "The secretary has been very clear he intends to stay here at the State Department," she said, adding that he "does, however, serve at the pleasure of the president, just as any Cabinet official would." Tillerson has reportedly clashed with the White House over its micromanaging of his policy and staffing decisions and the assignment of big parts of his portfolio to Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser. Trump has also contradicted him several times, and Tillerson is said to be angry over Trump's treatment of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
On Monday, CNN's John King reported that Tillerson's friends are suggesting he may step down before the end of the year, with one friend saying Trump's treatment of Tillerson is "becoming a death by one thousand little insults." You can watch King's short report on a Tillerson "Rexit" starting at the 3:25 mark. Peter Weber

Lykke Li's video for Breaking It Up is a must watch before going out.
It's not a secret that I'm a huge fan of Swedish singer Lykke Li, so when I saw these scans from Swedish Elle on The Fashion Squad, I knew I had to share them. Not only does she have an incredible sense of style, but she has the talent and on stage personality to match it. While so-called it-girls throw faux rockstar poses, Lykke is the real thing. I've been obsessed with Lykke's incredibly catchy songs since last year's release of her first album, Youth Novels, which was produced by Peter Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John. What I find incredibly ironic is that before Youth Novels, Lykke spent a year in New York playing as a singer songwriter, hoping to get a record deal here. Somehow it never happened, but luckily, when she got back to Stockholm, she teamed up with Peter, and now has become somewhat of a sensation in Sweden. I always love those stories about people who initially encounter rejection, only to triumph in the end---I bet all those people who saw her and didn't sign her in New York are regretting it now. Anyway, check out these pictures of her, and also make sure to watch some of the videos---you can bet that I will be playing her tonight at MAIN MAN (we're DJing again this week)!!!
My latest favorite song of Lykke's, her cover of The Kings of Leon song, Knocked Up.

Bradley Cooper & Zoe Saldana's Rekindled Romance
After spending the night at her Los Angeles home, Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana enjoyed a movie date night at the Arclight Dome Theater where they saw "The Master" on Saturday (September 22).
The seemingly on-again couple snuggled up to each other while leaving the theater with the "Hangover" hunk in a dark baseball cap, black and white jacket, and gray pants while his "The Words" co-star lady donned a long striped dress and beige sweater.
Though the couple broke up back in March with a source telling Us Weekly, "They're definitely not together. She and Bradley weren't super-serious at all," it seems the sparks are back.
Recently, the "Avatar" actress caused a bit of controversy when The Hollywood Reporter revealed that she would be cast as the singer Nina Simone in the upcoming biopic "Nina." Some critics would prefer that the actress match Simone's dark complexion.
An online petition at Change.org calls for writer/director Cynthia Mort to change the casting choice to an actress "who actually looks like Nina Simone." According to Tiffani Jones, of the blog Coffee Rhetoric, "Hollywood and the media have a tendency to whitewash and lightwash a lot of stories, particularly when black actresses are concerned."

I'm going to become a daddy, sounds weird saying this but soon I will be in a couple of months. Anyway time to start becoming one, it's a life changing experience but I'm going to start this life believing it will be a great experience. Better to start now than later. But first things first, I need to show my love and care to the one I truly love, my beloved wife Sharon, who will have to bear this child for the next few months. The body changing experience, the pain a woman will have to go through, the emotions she faces are just a few that a pregnant woman faces. Time to step up as a better, more understanding loving husband. Wish me all the best.

Land of the Roo Travel Pics
My first ever trip to Kangaroo land and I was utterly excited about it as the previous year I missed the chance to go due to the H1N1 scare. But here I am in Sydney Australia very excited as this was an impromptu holiday planned just 2 days before the departure, which made us even more excited about it. I want to thank Jesus for making it possible for us to make it to Australia despite 2 failed attempts to go to Australia. This is also the first time Sharon and I are visiting Australia and Hillsong Church. Enjoy the pics.

The Jedi has fallen to the Dark Side
CANON is usually referred to by its competitors as 'The Dark Side' exactly why this is so remains unknown but I've kind of turned Sharon to the dark side with my dark jedi powers. Here is Sharon proudly with her new Canon 7D. The picture tells all….hahaha.
A nice gift from my beloved
This is an early birthday gift from Sharon, I think it's Canon's cheapest lens which can be a great lens capable of some beautiful "bokeh" shots. Honestly its looks and pricing are deceiving. Thanks bebe for this wonderful and early birthday gift. Will post up some shots of what this "piece of toy" can do.
A night out at Soho and Hard Rock
We had a great time the whole of Sunday beginning with church service followed by lunch, choir practice, a light nap in the afternoon and an evening of fun with the guys.

Internet slang
How often have you come across internet slang which you just can't seem to understand, like lol, brb, ttyl or even eod. I bet you might not even know some of the acronyms I'm talking about right now, but needless to say this are common nowadays and honestly I don't understand quite a lot of them. When I chat with people or check out forums many times such slangs are used and I can't seem to make sense out if it. Take for example afaik, I intially thought it was a name of one of a Malay guy. But to my surprise it is "afaik - as far as I know". Now what about this rifk. How would I ever know what it is? Anyone care to take a guess? The answer to this is rolling on the floor laughing. Anyway I found my the dictionary of internet slang and I will not get lost again figuring out what the acronyms are trying to tell me. I found it here noslang.
Let me paste some which I found to be very funny (some are offensive so please excuse me)
rihad - Rot In Hell And Die ( sounds like jihad)
mmiw - my mom is watching
mpih - my penis is hard
kmfa - kiss my fucking ass
lak - love and kisses
lmaomtoaoa - Laugh my ass off many times over and over again
lmbo - laughing my butt off
Ok i better stop here b4 i go out of hand go check it out yourself.

Which team to support?
The F1 season begins just around the corner and it is speculated to be a furious racing year in 2010 with new teams such as Mercedes, Lotus, Virgin joining the pack to win the 2010 season. But which team do I support this year? There's just so many teams which I would like to support. Take for example Ferrari, which I have been a keen supporter for the past 3 years ever since Kimi Raikkonen joined Ferrari, but now that he is gone will I still support Ferrari?. Next up is McLaren team, they now have 2 drivers who are world champions, Kimi used to be an ex driver there as well and I personally like McLaren but not really a fan of Hamilton so support or not..i dunno? Next up is the Mercedes team, Petronas (A Malaysian Petrol Company) is the main sponsor, uncle known to me as Michael Schumacher who is also 7 time world champion is back in F1 again together with Ross Brawn the brains behind Brawn GP the winning team of 2009 F1, also it was their first ever year joining F1 and they won that year as well beating Ferrari and McLaren. Looking at this they surely have a very good team, but Michael has stopped racing for 3 years, can he be himself which he used to be back in his glorious ways in 2006? What about Rosberg..can he outperform ex-world champions like Alonso in the Ferrari or Hamilton or even Button. I hope he is on par with the world champions. Next up is Red Bull which is one of the top contenders in 2009 taking the second spot, reading from the pre season testing news they are equally as fast and quick as well with the top teams. Newcomers to F1 which I would love to see perform well will be Lotus which is Malaysia's very own F1 team, sad to say I don't think they are on par with the top teams but I sure do hope they beat the other newcomers to F1 like Virgin. But as for the top teams I have yet to decide on which team to pick but it looks like Mercedes and Ferrari will be my top 2 choices for this year's F1 team choice. Waiting in anticipation for the start of F1 2010.

Pottstown will be the ninety-sixth community in Pennsylvania to hold a campaign for the United Jewish Appeal, and Glens Falls the thirty-seventh in New York State, when these towns inaugurate campaigns this evening, Harry L. Glucksman, chairman of the administrative committee, said yesterday.
Marvin Lowenthal, author and lecturer, will address the mass meeting of Pottstown's effort for the United Jewish Appeal at the Jewish Community Center there. A quota of $1,000 has been set for the community and the officers of the campaign are Edgar Orenstein, Martin A. Felt and Rabbi Maxwell M. Farber.
In Glens Falls leadership of the campaign has been assumed by Carl Bronne, Charles Garlan, Charles Gelman, Rabbi Bert Stein and Lester Erlanger, who have made $2,000 their goal. The principal speaker at the launching of Glens Falls campaign will be Jacob deWass.
