The PYM LIVE philosophy
We know that your time is precious. We also realize that you feel a relentless pressure to stay current and keep up with new meeting trends and ideas. That's why we think of our PYM LIVE events as a laboratory designed to spark new ideas and ways of doing things. We're constantly tinkering with our format, education, meeting tech and engagement strategies so that when you attend, you're getting the chance to experience new things that might work for your next conference.
You won't find lectures, you'll find group challenges and interactive education. You won't experience a traditional trade show, you'll be able to speed-date our partners so you can find out who truly fits your needs. You won't just hear about cutting-edge technology, you'll be able to see how and why it works.
Speaking of technology, we'll be using a Topi conference app that's embedded with an augmented reality scanner. Our educational panel of meeting industry experts will take place via a Google+ Hangout that we'll be broadcasting live to remote pods. These pods will also get to participate in the group challenge.
Prior to the event, we'll send you videos explaining how to make the most of these elements, as well as the speed dating portion of our trade show. We'll also be doing an on-site tech orientation a half-hour before the event starts. So come early to register and get plugged in!
The Future of Meetings: What's New, What's Now, What's Next?
We've assembled a group of meeting industry leaders to join us virtually to discuss the future of meetings. In each city we've worked to bring a diverse panel that covers the planning, supply and hotel perspective. We'll address your burning questions during our panel discussion. Then later, during the group challenge, you'll have a chance to share what your vision for the future of meeting is (and win a fun prize in the process!).
Panelists vary from city to city. The educational panel at this event will include*:
- James Rota and Christy Lamagna, CMP, SMM, CTSM (Strategic Meetings & Events) - Meeting Design, Advocacy, Right vs. Left-Brain Planning
- Tracy Stuckrath (Thrive! Meetings & Events) - Dietary Restrictions, Healthy F&B
- Kristi Casey Sanders (Plan Your Meetings) - Meeting Technology, Trends
- Gregg Herning (Peabody Hotels) - CSR, Partnering with Venues to Create Meaningful Change
- Emilie Barta (Hybrid Event Consultant/Virtual Emcee) - Virtual and Hybrid Meetings
- Midori Connolly (Unified Event Tech) - Sustainability, Audio/Visual Best Practices
Need help explaining to your boss why you should go?
Contact us and we'll send you a ROI report showing how our events will help you contribute to your organization's bottom line.
Working on attaining or renewing your certification?

Help us Clean the World!
At every event in 2013, we'll be collecting unused soaps and donations for Clean the World, an amazing organization that's transforming what's wasted in this industry into lifesaving gifts for people in need of proper sanitation. Read more about the fantastic work they do or attend PYM LIVE to hear how you can make a difference at your events.
Become a PYM All-Star!
Can't make it to the show? We can help you organize a remote viewing group of 10 or more and create a virtual geo-fence around your location so you and your "pod" can participate with our in-person audience and educational content, no matter where you're located.
If you tag your tweets and images with #yaypym you can join our real-time conversation on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Throughout the year, we invite you to continue sharing your ideas, images and stories with us here as well as in our LinkedInand G+ communities.
What is a "qualified meeting planner"?
Because we also want to provide value to our exhibiting partners, we define this as a person who plans at least one (and hopefully more) off-site meetings a year. We don't discriminate against students and aspiring planners, though! But if you are a student or someone just breaking into the industry, you might want to start with our Virtual Attendee option. Otherwise, you won't be able to enjoy a large portion of the event.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Meeting planners, teachers and students: Vanessa Jatho would be happy to answer any questions you have. Are you interested in exhibiting? Then Eileen Gilbert is whom you should contact.
Is my registration/ticket transferrable?
If you find yourself unable to attend, but you have a friend who is a qualified meeting planner, let us know and we will honor the ticket you purchased when they bring it with them.
What is the refund policy?
We're meeting planners too, we realize that sometimes life just happens. If you need to cancel, let Claudia Madigan know and we'll refund the cost of the ticket, minus the Eventbrite fees. If they let us waive those, we'll refund the full amount of the purchase.

The official custodian of Adolf Hitler's estate has said "Mein Kampf," the Nazi dictator's notorious autobiography, should continue to be banned in Germany.
Georg von Waldenfels, who also is the finance minister of Bavaria, holds the official copyright of Hitler's writings.
The virulently anti-Semitic work has been translated into Hebrew and published in Israel.
Von Waldenfels said The Hebrew University's decision to publish the book should be the only exception to the ban.
In an article in the newsmagazine Focus, he rejected arguments in favor of lifting the ban in the name of "freedom of expression." The effect that the work was both inside and outside Germany also should b considered, he added.
"Mein Kampf" is the symbol of National Socialist ideology," he wrote.
He also wrote that it would be dangerous to promote a new edition of the work.
"Can you imagine what kind of an impression one would get from bookstore windows full with the Hitler books, possible along with posters of the dictator?" he said in the article.

Plants and Clowns
Posted By: RICH
Date: Thursday, 27 April 2000, at 8:32 p.m.
HEllo everyone, I hope this note finds you well. I presently keep five clowns in a 55 gal tank with tiger barbs and zebra danios. In thi tank there are also anacharis, valisnerias and cabomba plants. At least once a week I find a three inch piece of the cabomba stuck in my filter intake. Are these the loaches severing them? Plus they are mostly bare(the cabomba, not the clowns). Thanks in advance; RICH

Victoria University Press finalists at NZ Post Book Awards
Victoria University Press finalists at NZ Post Book Awards
Victoria University Press (VUP) has five books shortlisted for prizes at this year's New Zealand Post Book Awards in the shortlist announced this morning.
The astrological murder mystery, The Luminaries, by Eleanor Catton and the story of Thomas Hardy's last days, Max Gate, by Damien Wilkins are two of four fiction finalists. The Luminaries is also a finalist for the Nielsen Booksellers Choice award.
Three VUP titles make up four of the poetry category finalists. Current New Zealand Poet Laureate Vincent O'Sullivan is a finalist in the poetry category with his 2013 release, Us, Then. Two debut poetry collections, Gathering Evidence by Caoilinn Hughes, and Horse With Hat by Marty Smith, are also finalists in the poetry category.
It was announced last week that Horse With Hat was the winner of the Best First Book Award for poetry. Another VUP title, Tough by Amy Head, also took out the Best First Book Award for fiction.
Publisher Fergus Barrowman says he's delighted for all the authors who have made the shortlist at the awards.
"To have three VUP titles in the poetry category, with two of those titles being debut books, shows what strong poetry our writers are producing.
"We're also very pleased for Damien and Ellie in the fiction category. Max Gate and The Luminaries are very different novels, but both are exceptional writers and these books deserve recognition and a wide readership."
Winners of the categories will be announced at the awards ceremony will be held at Te Papa in Wellington on Wednesday 27 August.


text: In the previous millenium photographic films exhibited a quality known as "grain". That was before the T crystal low silver technology became the standard. When press photographers used 35mm cameras for newsworthy and sporting events we became accustomed to the grainy b&w images in every publication. Photo hobbyists and artistic types accepted the grain effect as an inherent property of the few high speed 35mm emulsions that were available. If you can find a 1960's Popular Photography annual you will notice that half of the b&w images are really grainy. You might say that the artists embraced the technology and used it to enhance the gritty subject matter of the times and the 60's had plenty of gritty themes, including civil rights struggles, all sorts of political unrest, SE Asian war, etc.,etc. Does anyone remember the book, The Medium Is The Message? It should be required reading before the purchase of a camera. I hope there are still some photographers who like to use film with visible grain structure when it benefits the subject. So far I have not seen any examples in the galleries. Maybe it is just that the scanners are depriving us of the real qualities of the actual prints. I believe that most people are trying to avoid the presence of grain in their work. Does anyone have an opinion? gma

Also the whole "owning my own business" thing means that I'm busy a lot, but I'm generally by a computer so I am available at all sorts of odd times to chat.
If you made it this far, I know that makes me sound boring, but my true passion is traveling, which is expensive.
I also hear I give good back massages... you'll have to take my word on this one for now.

Music: Similar to the above, but in a much higher order, too many to list. I listen to essentially everything except rap and country, and even a bit of those genres.
Food: I like tea, a lot. I like Indian Cuisine, Chinese Cuisine, Thai Cuisine, Most American Cuisine. I'm actually very picky, in a vary varied way.

The Boston Modern Orchestra Project Presents A FINE CENTENNIAL, 5/16
The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), the nation's premier orchestra dedicated exclusively to commissioning, performing, and recording new orchestral music, partners with The Fine Family, The Irving Fine Society, and Brandeis University and its Department of Music to pay tribute to three central figures of the mid-century Boston musical landscape - Irving Fine, Harold Shapero and Arthur Berger. Celebrating Irving Fine's (1914-1962) centennial, BMOP spotlights this trio of lifelong friends and composers who advanced a unique vision for American music that incorporated the neoclassicism of Stravinsky, the clean elegance of Copland, and the edginess of serialism, all with a highly personal stamp. Click here to view program details.
As part of a special centennial year of international events, BMOP honors the life, legacy and music of celebrated composer/scholar/conductor Irving Fine. "Many of Fine's pieces have become standard repertory works representing the American neoclassical school," explains Gil Rose, Artistic Director and Conductor of BMOP. "Although his roots are firmly grounded in Boston, he played a leading role in America's music history."
Fine experimented with many styles throughout his career: serialism, 18th-century forms, and romantic expressivity among them. Yet Stravinsky's neoclassical style was an early and lasting influence on Fine as well as fellow Harvard classmates and Brandeis University faculty members Shapero and Berger. In the 1940s, the three became associated with a group of primarily Jewish, Boston-based composers alternately known as the "Stravinsky School," "Boston School," "Harvard Stravinskians," and "Boston Neoclassicists." Fine wrote that the music of Stravinsky in which he and his peers grounded themselves was inclined to be "diatonic and tonal or quasi modal...an ideal balance between form and emotion...peppered with unresolved neighbor dissonant tones, all of it tastefully set forth through his genius for spacing and texture."
BMOP illuminates Fine's remarkable gift for lyricism in a performance of three pieces written during the composer's final years. Capping the program is Fine's last and most ambitious work - the dramatic Symphony (1962), which he conducted with the Boston Symphony Orchestra prior to his untimely death later that year. Considered to be the most substantial work of his career, it stands as Fine's creative masterpiece. The Symphony illustrates the culmination of a unique, diverse aesthetic, demonstrating the composer's subtle grasp of not only neoclassicism and serialism, but polyphony, rhythmic force, and symphonic form.
During his 12 years on the Brandeis faculty, Fine played many roles, including founder and chair of the School of the Creative Arts. Fine was responsible for bringing leading artists to the faculty (Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland) and cutting-edge new works (by the likes of Miles Davis, Merce Cunningham and Marc Blitzstein) to the campus. Fine's time as an educator, mentor, administrator, and composer transformed Brandeis into an internationally-recognized breeding ground for emerging talent that would define American culture in the 20th century. One of Fine's most popular works from the Brandeis years is the three-minute marching song, "Blue-White." The orchestral version, Blue Towers (1959), is dedicated to Brandeis and then president Abram Sachar. The title references the Brandeis school colors and a campus architectural landmark, Usen Castle, known for its three distinctive towers. Prior to arriving at Brandeis, Fine served on the music faculty at Harvard. He was a key member of the composition faculty at Tanglewood in the early years under Serge Koussevitzky.
Rounding out the Fine tribute is a BMOP performance of his four Diversions for Orchestra (1959). Dedicated to Fine's three daughters (Claudia, Emily and Joanna) and French poodle, Koko, this playful yet sophisticated piece premiered at a 1960 Boston Symphony Orchestra children's concert.
Harold Shapero (1920-2013) joined the Brandeis faculty in 1951 and spent 37 years teaching in the Department of Music. He helped develop the university's renowned electronic music studio and taught theory and composition. His works are emotionally intense and expertly structured, hailed for their rhythmic vitality, elegance, and memorable thematic material. BMOP presents one of his finest gems, Serenade in D for string orchestra (1946). Shapero continued to embrace an unambiguously neoclassical style throughout his career, and the Serenade demonstrates the composer at his peak.
Completing the triumvirate is the celebrated composer and music critic Arthur Berger (1912-2003). Berger joined the Brandeis faculty in 1953, retiring in 1980 as the Irving Fine Professor of Music Emeritus. BMOP has long been a Berger champion. In 2002, it recorded Arthur Berger: The Complete Orchestral Music (New World Records) followed by the 2013 release of Arthur Berger: Words for Music, Perhaps (BMOP/sound).
Like Fine, Berger immersed himself in Stravinskian neo-classicism early in his career, later expanding his technique to achieve a unique synthesis with 12-tone serialism. BMOP performs his Prelude, Aria, and Waltz for String Orchestra (1982), a revision of his previous work Three Pieces for String Orchestra of 1945. The orchestral version premiered in 1985 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with John Harbison conducting.
About BMOP:
The Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP) is widely recognized as the leading orchestra in the United States dedicated exclusively to performing new music, and its signature record label, BMOP/sound, is the nation's foremost label launched by an orchestra and solely devoted to new music recordings. Founded in 1996 by Artistic Director Gil Rose, BMOP affirms its mission to illuminate the connections that exist naturally between contemporary music and contemporary society by reuniting composers and audiences in a shared concert experience. In its first 18 seasons, BMOP established a track record that includes more than one hundred performances, over a hundred world premieres (including forty commissioned works), two Opera Unlimited festivals with Opera Boston, the inaugural Ditson Festival of Contemporary Music with the ICA/Boston, and fifty-seven commercial recordings, including thirty-six CDs from BMOP/sound.

Dermatology Questions? Ask an Online Dermatologist.
Hey there-
I don't know if you are an allergic type or not, but what you are describing sounds exactly like dyshydrotic eczema. It is a rash of tiny blisters usually on the palms and soles of feet. They happen often after intense exposure to water, and perhaps a chemical in the water, seems to be the culprit most of the time. The treatment is try to figure out what caused it and eliminate it. Also steroid creams and Zytrtec or claritin otc for the itch.
Here is an article and classic pic of the blisters (top pic):
These are a little bigger than usual...
We treat basic cases with topical steroid creams- topicort,synalar, triamcinolone, betamethasone etc. and removal of the trigger if one can figure it out!
Make an appt with your doc to get an RX, & you will be on your way!!
Good luck and be well-
OK- so they are on the back of your hands....
And look like tiny bumps or blisters?
Only hands involved?
Anything on feet or inside mouth?
How long has this been going on?]
Have you been sick otherwise?
Given all this- I think you should be seen by a doc.
The blisters on hands, mouth ...and if feet as well can be a common virus we see most often in kids- called Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease- it is a virus and goes away all by itself.
But w. vag pain and painful urination, you need an exam and urinalysis.
He can only give you genital herpes via oral sex if he gets cold sores and has one now..... But if your sex is unprotected, you probably have been exposed anyhow, right?
The blisters on the hands should be looked at- given your Immune deficiency, that opens the door to many bugs. Although the things that cause this are the dyshidrosis I mentioned previously (palm doesn't have to be involved) and scabies, which would itch intensely and spread, and not come and go.
All in all--- with the IgG issue, I don't feel comfortable making a possible stab at what is going on beyond this. Chlamydia can be passed back and forth, and can do a lot of internal damage to you- so you need to go get checked and tested anyhow.
And- with all these STDs, I hope you have been HIV tested as well. Regularly.
GO see a doc. Today!

Philly life for Dunbar's Tayong
Post performer helped Dunbar girls' to state championship
Oma-ah Tayong, who emerged as one of the better post players in the area last season, has signed with LaSalle University. Poets coach Wardell Selby said Tayong, 6-foot-3, is currently taking summer courses at the northwest Philadelphia school.
Tayong selected LaSalle over Alabama-Birmingham, Coppin State and Morgan State. She was the Poets' second-leading scorer behind junior Michelle Wright, forming a potent 1-2 punch.
At the state Final Four at UMBC, Tayong posted a double-double (15 points and 15 rebounds) as the Poets ended Joppatowne's reign as Class 1A champions in the semifinals. She followed with 15 points and 19 rebounds as the east Baltimore school claimed the state title over Garrett County's Southern.
Tayong was the MVP for Baltimore City at the annual City/County senior all-star game at Lake Clifton.
"Oma was a 6-3 kid with no heart, no desire," said Selby. "She got motivated, started working out on her own and improved."

Cardinal, GR native, Szoka remembered
The former head of the Archdiocese of Detroit and Grand Rapids native Cardinal Edmund Szoka died at a Novi hospital of natural causes at age 86, the diocese said.
"We mourn the loss of a dedicated shepherd," Detroit Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron said in a statement. "For sixty years Cardinal Szoka gave himself totally to his priestly service of Christ and his Church."
Szoka was born in Grand Rapids in 1927 to Polish immigrants Casimir and Mary Szoka.
Rising through the ranks of the clergy, Szoka ascended to a position overseeing economic affairs at Vatican City in 1990.
Szoka celebrated his 60th anniversary in the priesthood this year. The archdiocese said he died of natural causes Wednesday evening at Providence Park Hospital in Novi.

The New York Giants have made it well known that they want to bring back middle linebacker Jon Beason and have began discussions on a long-term deal to keep him with the team well beyond into the future.
However with that said, Giants general manager Jerry Reese told the media this past week while at the NFL Scouting Combine that he will let Beason test the free agent market along with defensive end Justin Tuck and wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, which signals that any deal won't be made before the start of free agency on March 11.
While Reese did say that the roster is going to have a different feel and look to it in 2014, especially after finishing 7-9 and missing the playoffs for the second straight season since they won Super Bowl XLVI, the fact of the matter is Beason is a very key free agent and maybe even more so than some of the others that the Giants have like Nicks, Tuck and even Linval Joseph too.
If in fact Reese decides not to sign anyone to a deal before March 11, he is risking losing players to other teams on that date and while he can afford to lose Nicks and maybe even lose Tuck, losing Beason is something their defense simply can not have happen for 2014, especially given how valuable the middle linebacker's presence was once he arrived in New Jersey in early October.
Does anyone remember how the Giants defense played before Beason showed up? Let us remind you, five straight games of allowing 30-plus points and an 0-5 start to the season in which the defense was ranked 31st in the league. To sum that up in so few words: pathetic. The Giants defense was pathetic before Beason got dealt the Friday before Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
When the Giants inserted Beason full-time into the lineup in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears, the team saw the change, especially in the second half of the game when they shut out the Bears and were able to make a game of it. For the first time since Antonio Pierce, the Giants had a true play-making linebacker in the middle who could go sideline to sideline and make plays all over the field, something the Giants sorely lacked for years, and with a healthy Beason, the Giants had one of the better middle linebackers in the sport on their team.
By losing Beason, the Giants risk going back to what they were before Beason's arrival; bad. Sure, Tuck's departure would be sad, but the team also drafted Damontre Moore for a reason, and the same thing with losing Joseph, because they did the same thing with Johnathan Hankins. But there is no sure-fire starter on the team to take Beason's spot if he were to leave in free agency; Mark Herzlich is still there, but the team quickly learned that he was better suited as a backup and for special team duties following Dan Connor landing on season-ending injured reserve in Week 1.
Beason is the key to making this defense what it was; which was at times dominant and showed shades of being elite. Having a healthy Jason Pierre-Paul back and disrupting the quarterback will make it better, as will having Stevie Brown back in the secondary intercepting passes if he returns, but having that play-maker patrolling the middle of the field is what ultimately made the difference last year. The players immediately looked to Beason as a leader from the get-go and they had every reason to.
Ultimately, letting Beason go in free agency would likely be viewed as a very poor decision.

(May 17, 2013) It was reported in early May 2013 that the Government of Sri Lanka is now drafting a constitutional amendment to reduce the terms of office of the President and the Chief Justice to five years each, instead of the current six years for the President and unlimited term, to age 65, for the Chief Justice. There would be no limit, however, on how often a President could be re-elected. If adopted, the amendment would be the 19th amendment to the country's Constitution. (Sri Lankan Government Drafts a New Amendment to the Constitution, COLOMBO PAGE (May 6, 2013); Introduction to the Web Version of the Constitution (as amended through 2000, that is, through the 18th amendment), PRESINFORM (the official website of the Data and Information Unit of the Sri Lankan Presidential Secretariat, last visited May 16, 2013).)
Other possible provisions that could be included in a 19th amendment would limit the powers, given to provincial councils under the 13th constitutional amendment, by which they exercise control over the police and over land issues. (Sri Lankan Government Drafts a New Amendment to the Constitution, supra.)
Opposition political leaders are also drafting proposed constitutional amendments. Ranil Wickremasinghe, the leader of the opposition United National Party, is now serving on a party committee to consider amendment provisions. He has said that the country needs a new approach to government and that his party's research division is working on recommendations for amendments and would be consulting other political parties in the drafting process. (Sri Lanka's Main Opposition to Draft a New Constitution for the Country, COLOMBO PAGE (May 6, 2013); Main Opposition Drafts a New Constitution for Sri Lanka, COLOMBO PAGE (May 12, 2013).)

The Time Is Now - Poem by J. E. Carpenter
Now is the time for love to rise
and love to rule
the Son of God; His sign's in the skies
and those who know this
who walk like Joseph
talk like Moses;
to turn the world upside down
with the same Spirit that wound up time
There is a river breaking forth
from the heavenly thrown
whispering of a season changed
it's time for the sons of God to reign
Of the essence that pieces us together
which causes us to create
and pulls us to pleasure
that essence has spoken too
and I'm sure it moves you to move.
Love is weapon, but make is a tool.
Poet's Notes about The Poem
This is about hearing my friend Eva Guitierez echo something from this dream I had on the morning of 11/19/12. I saw '7777' and heard 'the time is NOW.' She was telling me, 'The time is now! '

What's the Deal With Love Swings?
What's the Deal With Love Swings?
Okay, so I obviously have no problem talking about anything and everything that has to do with sex. I also have no qualms about buying or using things like vibrators and lubricants to make for a better experience. With that said, there are definitely some things I can do without, like a Love Swing.
I'm thinking that this may fall under the category of "don't knock it till you try it," but let's face it, I really don't think I'd ever buy one, and if I did, I don't think I'd be able to figure out how to get in it. It seems complicated which is the exact opposite of what you want sex to be like. And where do you hang it? Do you fasten a metal hook to a sturdy beam in your bedroom? Then if people come over, what will you say when they point and ask, "What's that for?"
In my opinion, buying, installing, and using a love swing is just way over the top and unnecessary, but what do you think? Are you into the idea of being suspended in air while making love?

|Thanks Andy...I was curious about this and went out and worked it on 7/19. There is a sit start at an inverted, triangular hold that allows for a long right hand to a half pad 4-finger edge up and right. More difficulty ensues as you work the left avoiding all lip T. holds, bump right hand to a slightly better hold, bring the left up and left to a tiny crimp, and go again to the lip with the left to finish up on the traverse. Felt harder than V9, so once I can link it, I'll be stoked! Still glad to see Castlewood free of hordes! Not as quiet as the late eighties but still nowhere near as busy a place as anything you'd find in Boulder.

Continued: Research funding
Smaller grants were awarded in areas that are key to the university's efforts to develop its research programs in nanoscience and alternative energy. A $320,000 grant from BASF Fuel Cell GmbH/Inc. will support research on high-temperature fuel cells, and an award of $497,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy will support a study to accelerate nuclear-energy research and development.
The university also was awarded $3 million to develop a Center of Economic Excellence in Nuclear Science Strategies. The funding comes from the S.C. General Assembly's state lottery program. NIH research awards totaled nearly $32.5 million, with more than $40 million received from other agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The health-sciences colleges – medicine, pharmacy, nursing, social work and public health – received $90.8 million in grants, and the College of Engineering and Computing had nearly $25 million in research funding.

Ravi S. Kane
Merck Assistant Professor of Chemical
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Ph.D., Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT), 1998
M.S., Chemical Engineering Practice, MIT, 1995
B.S., Chemical Engineering, with distinction, Stanford University,
Career Highlights:
Kane joined Rensselaer in 2001 after completing
a two-year post-doctorate in chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard
University. He was the recipient of the Outstanding Seminar Award
from the department of chemical engineering at MIT in 1997; received
a National Science Foundation graduate fellowship; and has been
elected to the Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, and Phi Beta Kappa honor societies.
Research Areas:
Kane's group is investigating and solving
problems in biology and medicine through molecular engineering of
nanomaterials and interfaces. His research is focused in four areas:
design of multivalent inhibitors and effectors, gene therapy, design
of nanostructured biosensors, and cellular microenvironment engineering.
Kane's team is designing multivalent nanoscale
therapeutics for a number of diseases including AIDS, anthrax, and
influenza. Members also are designing multivalent molecules that
can activate biological systems and elicit cellular responses by
clustering cellular receptors.
In his gene therapy research, Kane's group is
developing novel strategies to overcome major obstacles that are
hindering advancement of this form of treatment. One of the better-developed
approaches to gene delivery employs the natural ability of viruses
to deliver their DNA to human cells. However, the broad tropisms
of these viral vectors and the antibody-mediated clearance of the
vectors are a major barrier in preventing clinical gene therapy.
His team also is devising strategies for functionalizing
nanostructured materials with polymers and with biomolecules, such
as enzymes and DNA. This technology may be useful for the design
of high-density microarrays. Researchers also are working on other
approaches for designing sensors for toxins and pathogens.
In the area of cellular behavior, Kane's team
is using the tools of microfabrication and genomics to investigate
the molecular basis for cellular response to microenvironments.
They are also using these microfabrication tools to influence the
differentiation of stem cells.

Hi there, what are the risks of correcting a crooked lower lip with botox or other procedures. It is not neurological, just a weak muscle on left side, very lax and inherited, 2 relatives have the same thing. most obvious when I speak and smile.
Risks of Fixing Lower Lip with Botox?
Doctor Answers 9
Botox around the mouth
It is very difficult to answer your question without seeing you in person, however from what you are describing, Botox injections around the mouth are intended to relax the muscle. Discussing your concerns with a well trained and experienced injector will help you determine what will be best suited for your needs.
Risks of Fixing Lower Lip with Botox?
The obvious issue here is the fact that Botox, or any of the neurotoxins, injected into the lip to make it less asymmetric will further weaken the lip muscles. Perhaps a lip augmentation with Restylane, Juvederm or Alloderm Implants would be a better solution.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Botox for lip asmmetry
Botox could be used cautiously, and with very small doses on the side of the mouth that does function, to purposely minimize the contraction of that side when smiling to make the mouth match the other side better. As the effect of Botox will last about three or more months, you must be aware that there is a risk you won't be happy with the result and will have to "live with it" until the botox has warn off. A very experienced and knowledgable physician will need to evaluate your anatomy, with your mouth at rest and with smiling to determine which muscle(s) are affected. Then a tiny dose of Botox might be placed in the other side into the muscle corresponding to affected muscle. You might have problems, though, with speech, eating and drinking, and singing.

Botox for fixing a lip
Botox could be used for what you describe, but you definitely want someone with great anatomical knowledge to know where and how much to inject. I would go slow and inject the bare minimum into the stronger muscle and see you back 2 weeks later for a touch-up if needed; I would definitely not want to over-weaken the stronger muscle, so the key is to go slow with an experienced injector/specialist.
Fixing Lower Lip with Botox
If you're asking about injecting the stronger right lower lip with Botox to make it look like the weaker left side I would advise you not do this. It is unlikely you will achieve symmetry and you will have limited motion of both lips.
Botox, Dysport or Xeomin for asymmetric lower lip function
It is possible to treat asymmetric lower lips that are congenitally or traumatically created either by weakness to the lip depressor muscles or their motor nerves such as the marginal mandibular nerve. The actual medication is a neuromodulator in the form of Botox, Dysport or the latest Xeomin. A small amount is placed into the depressor anguli oris (DAO) on the opposite side to weaken the strong side and make the smile more symmetric. The risks if not done by experience injector is injecting to much of the neuromodulator or injecting the wrong muscle and creating weakness that will worsen the asymmetry and may cause drooling as well as a crocked smile.
This is a more advanced technique and should be done by a board certified plastic surgeon or specialist!!!
Good luck

Care must be taken with Botox around the lips
If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if Botox can be injected into the stronger part of the lips to weaken it so that it matches the weaker side. I would advise great care with this decision because weakness around the mouth/lip muscles and cheek muscles that control the movement of the lips can result in slurred speech, dripping of liquids from the mouth and difficulty smiling on both sides.
And unfortunately Botox cannot be reversed until the body circumvents the blockade of the nerve-muscle communication by the medication, but that may take up to 3-4 months.
Botox to treat a lower lip weakness?
It sounds like what you are descrbing is a weakness of the marginal nerve--a branch of the facial nerve that can be weak in some people, resulting in a crooked smile. Realize that Botox use would weaken, not strengthen the muscle. So, to make your smile symmetrric, you would have to weaken the better side. I recommend leaving it alone and have that smile be your trademark!!

Botox for lip asymmetry
Please post a photograph of your lips for evaluation as it is impossible to conjecture whether a treatment could be effective without seeing the symptomatology. Thanks!

For all foreign nationals in the US who are 14 or older, properly notifying the US government of an address change in a timely manner is critical. Why is it so important? US Immigration Judges order countless thousands of people "removed" (deported) from the US every year simply because the foreign national has failed to appear to US Immigration Court. (Such an order of deportation is called an "in absentia" order. If you ever get one of these, hire an experienced deportation lawyer immediately.) Removal proceedings are unlike criminal proceedings in a great many ways, and this is one example. People are rarely convicted of a crime 'in absentia" but they are ordered deported in absentia every workday.
The preferred method for changing a foreign national's address is for each foreign national to call the National Customer Service Center toll free at 1-800-375-5283.
The available form that foreign nationals may be able to use to change their address (when they are not in removal proceedings) is form AR-11, available at www.uscis.gov. To find this or any of the plethora of free forms available from USCIS ("US Citizenship and Immigration Services"), go to www.uscis.gov and click on the word "forms" or "FORMS," and scroll down to whatever form you need. The Form AR-11 is an easy form to fill out. Technically, a foreign national's address change needs to be filed within ten days of moving. Even if you blow this deadline, at least change your address with USCIS before the US government sends you any mail. Certain pieces of mail, containing green cards, for example, will not be forwarded by the US Postal Service, but will be returned to the Service Center that sent it. Having your mail forwarded by the US Postal Service is easy enough to do, it just won't work for forwarding security documents like green cards or work permits. Just go to your local Post Office and fill out the form. But forwarding your mail is NOT a substitute for changing your address with the USCIS, Department of Homeland Security, (or with the US Immigration Court, which has it's own form EOIR 33 for changing addresses, or for sponsors filing form I-864.)
Disclaimer: This comes as general information, and is not intended for specific applications. I suggest discussing your personal details with an experienced immigration attorney.

It's a stunningly eventful day in the life of Eric Packer, a multi-billionaire who owns a forty-eight-room apartment and a decommissioned nuclear bomber and who has recently married the heiress of a vast European fortune. Sitting in his stretch limousine as it moves across the middle of Manhattan, he finds the city at a virtual standstill because the President is visiting, a rapper's funeral is proceeding through town, and a violent protest is being staged in Times Square by anti-globalist groups. Eric's bodyguards are worried that he is a target and, indeed, he is - although the danger, as it turns out, is not from protesters or political assassins but from an anonymous man who lives in an abandoned building. 'One of America's smartest and most disturbing writers' - "The Times". 'DeLillo shapes a rhetoric for our age' - "Observer".

Don DeLillo is the author of two plays and thirteen novels, including UNDERWORLD, WHITE NOISE and, most recently, THE BODY ARTIST . He has won the National Book Award, the Jerusalem Prize and the IRISH TIMES International Fiction Prize.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
from Part 1
Sleep failed him more often now, not once or twice a week but four times, five. What did he do when this happened? He did not take long walks into the scrolling dawn. There was no friend he loved enough to harrow with a call. What was there to say? It was a matter of silences, not words.
He tried to read his way into sleep but only grew more wakeful. He read science and poetry. He liked spare poems sited minutely in white space, ranks of alphabetic strokes burnt into paper. Poems made him conscious of his breathing. A poem bared the moment to things he was not normally prepared to notice. This was the nuance of every poem, at least for him, at night, these long weeks, one breath after another, in the rotating room at the top of the triplex.
He tried to sleep standing up one night, in his meditation cell, but wasn't nearly adept enough, monk enough to manage this. He bypassed sleep and rounded into counterpoise, a moonless calm in which every force is balanced by another. This was the briefest of easings, a small pause in the stir of restless identities.
There was no answer to the question. He tried sedatives and hypnotics but they made him dependent, sending him inward in tight spirals. Every act he performed was self-haunted and synthetic. The palest thought carried an anxious shadow. What did he do? He did not consult an analyst in a tall leather chair. Freud is finished, Einstein's next. He was reading the Special Theory tonight, in English and German, but put the book aside, finally, and lay completely still, trying to summon the will to speak the single word that would turn off the lights. Nothing existed around him. There was only the noise in his head, the mind in time.
When he died he would not end. The world would end.
He stood at the window and watched the great day dawn. The view was across bridges, narrows and sounds and out past the boroughs and toothpaste suburbs into measures of landmass and sky that could only be called the deep distance. He didn't know what he wanted. It was still nighttime down on the river, half night, and ashy vapors wavered above the smokestacks on the far bank. He imagined the whores were all fled from the lamplit corners by now, duck butts shaking, other kinds of archaic business just beginning to stir, produce trucks rolling out of the markets, news trucks out of the loading docks. The bread vans would be crossing the city and a few stray cars out of bedlam weaving down the avenues, speakers pumping heavy sound.
The noblest thing, a bridge across a river, with the sun beginning to roar behind it.
He watched a hundred gulls trail a wobbling scow downriver. They had large strong hearts. He knew this, disproportionate to body size. He'd been interested once and had mastered the teeming details of bird anatomy. Birds have hollow bones. He mastered the steepest matters in half an afternoon.
He didn't know what he wanted. Then he knew. He wanted to get a haircut.
He stood a while longer, watching a single gull lift and ripple in a furl of air, admiring the bird, thinking into it, trying to know the bird, feeling the sturdy earnest beat of its scavenger's ravenous heart.
He wore a suit and tie. A suit subdued the camber of his overdeveloped chest. He liked to work out at night, pulling weighted metal sleds, doing curls and bench presses in stoic repetitions that ate away the day's tumults and compulsions.
He walked through the apartment, forty-eight rooms. He did this when he felt hesitant and depressed, striding past the lap pool, the card parlor, the gymnasium, past the shark tank and screening room. He stopped at the borzoi pen and talked to his dogs. Then he went to the annex, where there were currencies to track and research reports to examine.
The yen rose overnight against expectations.
He went back up to the living quarters, walking slowly now, and paused in every room, absorbing what was there, deeply seeing, retaining every fleck of energy in rays and waves.
The art that hung was mainly color-field and geometric, large canvases that dominated rooms and placed a prayerful hush on the atrium, skylighted, with its high white paintings and trickle fountain. The atrium had the tension and suspense of a towering space that requires pious silence in order to be seen and experienced properly, the mosque of soft footfall and rock doves murmurous in the vaulting.
He liked paintings that his guests did not know how to look at. The white paintings were unknowable to many, knife-applied slabs of mucoid color. The work was all the more dangerous for not being new. There's no more danger in the new.
He rode to the marble lobby in the elevator that played Satie. His prostate was asymmetrical. He went outside and crossed the avenue, then turned and faced the building where he lived. He felt contiguous with it. It was eighty-nine stories, a prime number, in an undistinguished sheath of hazy bronze glass. They shared an edge or boundary, skyscraper and man. It was nine hundred feet high, the tallest residential tower in the world, a commonplace oblong whose only statement was its size. It had the kind of banality that reveals itself over time as being truly brutal. He liked it for this reason. He liked to stand and look at it when he felt this way. He felt wary, drowsy and insubstantial.
The wind came cutting off the river. He took out his hand organizer and poked a note to himself about the anachronistic quality of the word skyscraper. No recent structure ought to bear this word. It belonged to the olden soul of awe, to the arrowed towers that were a narrative long before he was born.
The hand device itself was an object whose original culture had just about disappeared. He knew he'd have to junk it.
The tower gave him strength and depth. He knew what he wanted, a haircut, but stood a while longer in the soaring noise of the street and studied the mass and scale of the tower. The one virtue of its surface was to skim and bend the river light and mime the tides of open sky. There was an aura of texture and reflection. He scanned its length and felt connected to it, sharing the surface and the environment that came into contact with the surface, from both sides. A surface separates inside from out and belongs no less to one than the other. He'd thought about surfaces in the shower once.
He put on his sunglasses. Then he walked back across the avenue and approached the lines of white limousines. There were ten cars, five in a curbside row in front of the tower, on First Avenue, and five lined up on the cross street, facing west. The cars were identical at a glance. Some may have been a foot or two longer than others depending on details of the stretch work and the particular owner's requirements.
The drivers smoked and talked on the sidewalk, hatless in dark suits, sharing an alertness that would be evident only in retrospect when their eyes went hot in their heads and they shed their cigarettes and vacated their unstudied stances, having spotted the objects of their regard.
For now they talked, in accented voices, some of them, or first languages, others, and they waited for the investment banker, the land developer, the venture capitalist, for the software entrepreneur, the global overlord of satellite and cable, the discount broker, the beaked media chief, for the exiled head of state of some smashed landscape of famine and war.
In the park across the street there were stylized ironwork arbors and bronze fountains with iridescent pennies scattershot at the bottom. A man in women's clothing walked seven elegant dogs.
He liked the fact that the cars were indistinguishable from each other. He wanted such a car because he thought it was a platonic replica, weightless for all its size, less an object than an idea. But he knew this wasn't true. This was something he said for effect and he didn't believe it for an instant. He believed it for an instant but only just. He wanted the car because it was not only oversized but aggressively and contemptuously so, metastasizingly so, a tremendous mutant thing that stood astride every argument against it.
His chief of security liked the car for its anonymity. Long white limousines had become the most unnoticed vehicles in the city. He was waiting on the sidewalk now, Torval, bald and no-necked, a man whose head seemed removable for maintenance.
"Where?" he said.
"I want a haircut."
"The president's in town."
"We don't care. We need a haircut. We need to go crosstown."
"You will hit traffic that speaks in quarter inches."
"Just so I know. Which president are we talking about?"
"United States. Barriers will be set up," he said. "Entire streets deleted from the map."
"Show me my car," he told the man.
The driver held the door open, ready to jog around the rear of the car and down to his own door, thirty-five feet away. Where the file of white limousines ended, parallel to the entrance of the Japan Society, another line of cars commenced, the town cars, black or indigo, and the drivers waited for members of diplomatic missions, for the delegates, consuls and sunglassed attachés.
Torval sat with the driver up front, where there were dashboard computer screens and a night-vision display on the lower windshield, a product of the infrared camera situated in the grille.
Shiner was waiting inside the car, his chief of technology, small and boy-faced. He did not look at Shiner anymore. He hadn't looked in three years. Once you'd looked, there was nothing else to know. You'd know his bone marrow in a beaker. He wore his faded shirt and jeans and sat in his masturbatory crouch.
"What have we learned then?"
"Our system's secure. We're impenetrable. There's no rogue program," Shiner said.
"It would seem, however."
"Eric, no. We ran every test. Nobody's overloading the system or manipulating our sites."
"When did we do all this?"
"Yesterday. At the complex. Our rapid-response team. There's no vulnerable point of entry. Our insurer did a threat analysis. We're buffered from attack."
"Including the car."
"Including, absolutely, yes."
"My c...

Arthur Pryor, Ralph Corey, Kid Ory, and William "Willy" Cornish were exceptional trombone soloists at the turn of the twentieth century who brought the trombone center stage from the back seats of America's concert and jazz bands.
Henry Fillmore (1881-1956) was an unconventional trombonist, composer, and bandmaster who loved circus music, American football, and his music-loving dog. The hustle of Cincinnati's river wharfs, and his and Uncle Fred's love of the many circuses that passed through town often distracted the young Henry from the drudgeries of school, piano lessons, and the weekly trips to

In the 9AM ET hour of Morning Meeting on MSNBC Thursday, host Dylan Ratigan teased his colleague Contessa Brewer over her confusing Jesse Jackson with Al Sharpton on Wednesday: "And did you call Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton the other day?....Can we talk about that later?.... I think there's some humor to be had in all this." An embarrassed Brewer sarcastically remarked: "I would love to talk about this."
While anchoring 2PM ET coverage on Wednesday, Brewer mistakenly introduced Reverend Jesse Jackson as Reverend Al Sharpton. After Jackson clarified his identity, she apologized: "I'm so sorry, the – the script in front of me said Reverend Al Sharpton...I know who you are, Reverend Jackson."
As promised, the blooper was again brought up later in Thursday's 9AM hour as MSNBC contributor Toure joked: "Contessa?....I'm not Al Sharpton....Just want to be clear on that." Ratigan joined in: "This is not Al Sharpton....You understand that?" Toure went on to add: "I know you have that all black people look alike thing going on." An upset Brewer shot back: "It wasn't that. It's – you know what, Toure?....Listen, thank you for clearing it up. I really appreciate that. Kind of you." Ratigan declared: "Yeah. I'm not Al Sharpton either, Contessa, just for the record. I know I kind of have a slight resemblance."
Here are full transcripts of the exchanges:
DYLAN RATIGAN: And did you call Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton the other day?
CONTESSA BREWER: Not the other day, just yesterday.
RATIGAN: Just yesterday. Can we talk about that later?
BREWER: Yeah, of course, let's-
RATIGAN: Because that's – I feel kind of bad – he's just sitting there and-
BREWER: I would love to talk about this.
RATIGAN: But I think there's some humor to be had in all this.
BREWER: Well, let's try-
RATIGAN: And it was an honest mistake on your part, which I think is worth explaining.
BREWER: Right. Let's try to find the humor.
RATIGAN: And I think we should find the humor.
BREWER: Alright.
RATIGAN: And maybe we'll take some more of those dental drugs, we'll feel, you know – I'm kidding.
BREWER: First calling him by the wrong name, then oral surgery. How's that for a day?
RATIGAN: Exactly.
TOURE: One last thing. Contessa?
CONTESSA BREWER: Yes?
RATIGAN: Oh yeah.
TOURE: I'm not Al Sharpton.
RATIGAN: This is not Al Sharpton.
TOURE: Just want to be clear on that.
RATIGAN: You understand that?
TOURE: I know you have that all black people look alike thing going on.
BREWER: It wasn't that. It's – you know what, Toure?
TOURE (in female voice): It was the prompter.
BREWER: Listen, thank you for clearing it up. I really appreciate that. Kind of you.
RATIGAN: Yeah. I'm not Al Sharpton either, Contessa, just for the record. I know I kind of have a-
TOURE: Not Giethner-
RATIGAN: -slight resemblance.
TOURE: Not Summers.
RATIGAN: I'm not Tim Giethner.
BREWER: It actually says Toure in the prompter.
TOURE: Not Volker.
RATIGAN: Yeah. I am not Paul Volker.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
| HowTo
This article is part of Uncyclopedia's HowTo series.
See more HowTos
For those of you who have somehow garnered the knowledge that allows you to process highly-complicated behaviours like accessing web pages, but have not yet picked up a basic skill like walking, here is a handy guide for you. See those things below your hips? Yeah? Well, they actually have a use.
edit Why Must I Walk
Well its pretty obvious silly boy! Walking helps you get to Your mom's house so you can get sex! And Everyone wants sex so if you want sex, you should learn to walk! Also, walking is supposed to keep your body energetic and a good body temperature but nobody cares about that.
edit The Math Formula
First of all you need to know the formula for walking before you do ANYTHING. THe math formula keeps you moving. If the dog ddnt know how to walk it would be able to drag you wherever you go since you are too stupid to know how to walk and your a fully grown man. The Formula;
If you do not know the formula, you will not be able to walk.
edit Materials Required
- Legs
- Feet (If you were born without these your Fucked)
- Ground (The Most Dificult to Find)
- Assistance (as in someone with you in case you fall over)
edit Suggestions before walking
As everyone suggests, dont drink and walk for if you do you will fall on your face and everyone will laugh at you for being such an idiot. Also, Huffing Kittens is a bad idea if you are learning how to walk; especially if you huffed an orange one, the fuck you up the most.
edit Method
edit Step One
edit Step Two
- Place the remaining foot in front of the first foot. Unless you used both feet for your first step then we people at uncyclopedia make fun of you for being such a loser.
edit Step Three
- Place the first foot in front of the remaining foot. Unless you tried using both feet again. Then you have learned the amazing talent of jumping!
edit Step Four
- Repeat.
- By "repeat", I mean steps two and three.
- Because if you kept repeating the third step, you would be getting nowhere and you would look pretty damn funny dragging your foot across the road.
- Except a hospital for treatment for a torn ligament.
edit Variants
For those looking to spice their walking style up a bit;
- You could powerwalk; powerwalking is an extreme type of walking. This is the same method as walking but doing it a bit faster (please take note that beginners of walking shouldn't attempt powerwalking until they are professional at normal walking.)
- You could jog; jogging is similar to powerwalking, but gives the impression to others that the person jogging is actually running in slow motion. (please take note that beginners of walking shouldn't attempt jogging until they are professional at normal walking.)
- If you are perhaps a female then you should learn the idea of baywatch running. The sexy way of jumping and running and showing off your marvelous breasts, yes like that! Keep going o yea baby you cant stop cant you.
- You could run; running is an extreme type of jogging and involves the same technique as normal walking, powerwalking and jogging but even faster than all those. (please take note that beginners of walking shouldn't attempt running until they are professional at normal walking.)
- You could sprint; sprinting is a very extreme form of walking and can be quite dangerous if correct care is not taken whilst one is doing it. Sprinting is the same as walking, powerwalking, jogging and running but is a lot faster. To sprint, just walk, powerwalk, jog or run and then imagine Michael Jackson chasing you. Once you have imagined this, look down at your legs and feet and you will find that you are putting your legs in front of each other so quickly that they are a blur; you are now sprinting. (please take note that beginners of walking shouldn't attempt sprinting until they are professional at every other types of walking.)
edit Notes
Try to avoid the forces of evil that will do everything in their power to thwart your noble bipedal movements, such as:
- Walls
- Spikes
- Water powered buses
- little people; e.g. toddlers, dwarfs
- glass; take extra care not to walk into glass. Spotting glass can be hard as it is transparent.

Not your typical Caribbean rum punch and pool party!: Celebrity Equinox Cruise Review by Living2Lands
Overall Member Rating
Not your typical Caribbean rum punch and pool party!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
This cruise, from the moment we stepped on board the Equinox, was DEFINITELY our sort of cruise. It was a last-minute decision, that we rate as one of the best cruises we have ever taken! Celebrity always does a good job on their cabins, and our veranda was no exception. And our steward was friendly and right there whenever we needed him. And the ship was decked out both in Christmas trimmings, and Hanukkah lights.
But it was the ports that really kept us saying "WOW"! Cartagena, Colombia, to start, was an amazing mix of old and new. And from there to the Panama Canal (by bus...MUCH less costly than going through the canal on the ship), and then getting in touch with our 'natural' side in Costa More Rica, Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel...Rain forests, snorkeling, and visiting Mayan ruins (2 days before the 'end of the world' was to happen) was almost too much to experience!
On the 'at sea' days, we learned alot from the on-board lectures about the area, as well as being entertained nightly all along the ship.
The only thing that we found disappointing was the internet. So many people had it in their cabins, where they were uploading the 'pics to the grandkids', at 2MB per pic, that the response time was miserable. I gave up, and just used the hotspots in port...not Celebrity's fault, but they really need to work on limiting the type of use for the limited bandwidth (sorry, computer consultant).
All in all, a big "Yes!" to "Did you enjoy the cruise?" I would do this one again! Less

Cabin review: 1A9237 Deluxe Veranda
9237 GREAT location, HUGE balcony. In 'the bump' so the cabin was also roomy. Close to the elevators and stairs, but no noise from them. Port side was best for land viewing on this trip.Read All Deluxe Veranda (1A) Reviews >>
Port and Shore Excursions
We negotiated a private tour with the 'salesmen' standing all along the boardwalk. They will barter. I mentioned that I am a Senior Contributor to TripAdvisor, and that, to, helped.
Our guide was half Mayan, and shared much as we rode around....but especially at the temple sites that we visited. It was 3 days before the reported end of the world (end of the Mayan calendar), and he just laughed and shook his head when we asked about it...saying "You all have made such a big deal of this...it's just that now we must merge our calendar with yours...nothing more!"....
There is a pharmacy in port that has many popular items in stock. And plenty of places to eat.
Interesting city, filled with old and new sights.
We were there to investigate emeralds, so did this port on our own...we used the hop on/hop off bus, and it worked well. The only trouble with the bus was that since we were the only ship in port that day, we could not hop on and off...so we rode to the end, enjoyed the tour, and then took a cab back after finding our emeralds.

A particularly depressing addendum to the story of a passenger jet shot down in Ukrainian air space: Of the 298 people on board, roughly 100 were people flying to an international conference on AIDS research.
Not all the people were scientists. Some were activists, others were staff facilitating and promoting research with groups like the World Health Organization. Among the dead is Joep Lange, a former president of the International AIDS Society who is being remembered for his particularly strong commitment to ensuring access to HIV medication in developing countries.
While it's particularly shocking to lose so many people working on a single subject at once, this is not the first time that top AIDS researchers have died in plane crashes. One of the scientists involved in creating the first HIV medications died in the bombing of Pan Am 103 and two others were aboard Swissair 111, which crashed near Nova Scotia in 1998 after a fire onboard.

Kid Rock breaks his silence about the weekend MTV brawl to San Diego, California's Rock 105.3 radio station.
He says, she says, and now Kid Rock says his version. The rock star broke his silence to San Diego, California's Rock 105.3 radio station on Thursday September 13th, about the MTV VMAs brawl that involved him and Tommy Lee.
Set the record straight on the incident, Rock claimed it was not Pamela Anderson but Tommy's mouth that caused the fight. "... he's doing what he does best, he's talking. I mean this is what stars all seem to be doing. And I really can't say a lot about it, my attorneys told me not to obviously, but I think there's enough eyewitnesses there to say what happened and of course he has a different story which makes perfect sense," so Rock said.
He furthermore explained, "There's a lot of history there, obviously. It's just a lot of mouth talking, a lot of being extremely disrespectful for a long time... I'm trying to figure out what this guy's doing there (at the awards)... and then, when I came back from the bathroom, he's pretty much sitting in my seat. I'm like, 'That's it!' I did what any man would do, any man across the country, across the world would do."
Aside from the brawl, Rock also addressed on Britney Spears, sharing his thought about her, saying "How does MTV do that, with like, is there some sort of special editing or camera filters they use, how do they make like Britney Spears look overweight and like she's lip-synching like that? That was incredible."
And when it comes to Kanye West not winning the award, he said "... we know Bush doesn't like black people, apparently MTV doesn't either. I was walking through the press line you know and he came storming through like Norman, like hey you know, like it was D-Day or something. I'm like calm down man, it's just a kind of corny award show."
