Vintage Animation Cels
Animated films first became popular in the 1930s and have since spawned an entire category of movie collectibles that have proved to be almost as enduring as the cartoons themselves. The most sought-after animation artifacts are animation cels, which is short for celluloid. Cartoons were hand-drawn or painted, frame-by-frame, on these colorful transparent sheets. Put enough of them together and you had an animated movie.
Collecting animation cels and animation art is a relatively new phenomenon. Until the Whitney Museum mounted an exhibition of Disney animation art in 1981, cels were seen as fringe items. In fact, after making "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" in 1937, Walt Disney had to be convinced that the cels his illustrators had painstakingly inked were not garbage. Since the Whitney exhibition, the appeal of animation cels has taken off, and different types of animation art regularly appear at auction.
The person who convinced Disney not to discard his animation cels was Guthrie Courvoisier, the owner of a San Francisco art gallery. He thought he could market Disney's production pieces as works of art. To that end, Courvoisier cut around the borders of the images and placed them on backgrounds. The cels were then displayed in frames or on mats. Courvoisier continued to sell Disney cels through the 1940s, and his pieces remain some of the most collectible animation cels on the market today. Unfortunately, few remain in good condition because of the inexpensive means with which he prepared them.
Animation cels come in a number of forms. In addition to the Courvoisier cels there are untrimmed full sheets, trimmed cels, and multi-cel setups, which combine more than one frame.
There were hundreds, if not thousands of animation cels made for each movie, as each cel represented an individual movement of a character or scene. The most collectible animation cels are from the '30s, '40s, and '50s, though there are examples of older cel art, such as Winsor McCay's "The Sinking of the Lusitania" from 1918 and "Gertie the Dinosaur" from 1914.
Today Disney films are at the forefront of collectible animation cels. In addition to the "Snow White" cels, other popular early Disney animated films include "Pinocchio," "Dumbo," "Bambi," "Cinderella," and "Alice in Wonderland." All of these productions left behind countless memorable animation-cel images, such as Dumbo flying with Timothy on his back or the witch offering a poison apple to Snow White.
In addition to animated movie cels, there was also a bevy of collectible cels produced for cartoon shorts. Some of the most popular Disney cartoons featured Donald Duck and Micke...
More recent animation cels include those produced by Hanna-Barbera. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were former animation directors at MGM. After leaving the studio, they formed their own animation shop in 1957 and are responsible for much of the art from animated television cartoons such as "Scooby Doo," "Yogi Bear," "The Jetsons," and "The Flintstones," among many others.
Less sought are the limited-edition serigraph cels, which are screen prints of animation-cel images that are created for fans after the fact rather than hand-painted originals used in an actual production.

Arthritis and Rheumatism
Is Morning Pain in Hips and Feet a Indication of Arthritis?
After waking up in the morning I have diffficulty walking due to pain in my hips and both feet. Usually after approximately half an hour this pain does get better and allows me to continue with my daily duties, although I do have some discomfort when I bend or kneel. After sitting for a while the pain in my hips and feet returns. The time scale varies. I have been examined or investigated the possibility of arthritis. I know I will have to make an appointment with my physician but I would appreciate any help or advise. I am a 46 year old woman with 2 children aged 24 and 15.
It is common to have the phenomenon known as morning stiffness associated with various arthritides. The way I typically ask about morning stiffness is as follows:
"Although you may be stiff all day, how long does is take to get as loose as you are going to get once you wake up and are moving around?"
Amongst the many signs and symptoms to screen for certain inflammatory arthritides, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, is morning stiffness that last for 60 minutes or longer.
You are describing pain as opposed to stiffness, but consider if these are one and the same. While your symptom does not meet the threshold of 60 minutes, it certainly is long enough to seek other signs and symptoms of an inflammatory arthritis. Good luck with your visit to your physician.

You Think Being a Dad Is a Good Deal?
Let's be honest. Fatherhood does not pay, either ("Being a mother just doesn't pay," Books, Mar. 12). If you are male, getting married is the worst thing you can do. [When mothers quit work to care for babies], fathers lose the economic benefits of having a wife in the workforce contributing to the family funds. He must shoulder unbearable stress to provide for more dependents.

The Federal Drug Administration has approved the first human trials of embryonic stem cells — a sign of a new, liberal attitude toward stem cell research, which was hamstrung by the Bush administration.
Starting this summer, the biotech firm Geron will treat a small group of spinal-cord injury patients using neurons derived from stem cells, marking the first time embryonic stem cells will be tested in humans.
The trial is designed to test the safety of the treatment, not how well it works. Nonetheless, it's a huge first step for the field.

Aaron Paul Steps Out Of His Home To Greet Fans, Is Basically Awesome
Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul isn't a bad guy at all. Case in point: his recent run-in with a sightseeing tour bus.
After spotting a van full of tourists stopping in front of his Hollywood home, the two-time Emmy winner left the comforts of his $1.39 million mansion — this one, to be exact –to greet fans, take pictures and even chat about how their day is going.
Luckily for those who weren't one of the lucky passengers, Paul McNeive, who was sightseeing with his family that day, captured the encounter all on film and uploaded it onto YouTube.
"Sometimes I see the van, and sometimes I don't. And when I do, I always try to say hello," Paul said in the video.
According to the actor, he was hanging out on his balcony with his family when he saw the bus of tourists.
"Thanks for coming out," he said before shaking everyone's hand.
Seriously, if Paul doesn't win again at this year's Emmys, someone should at least give him a "Good Guy" medal.

European Design Festival
Motion, Campaign
European Design Festival — A time to celebrate, and a time to debate
Having traveled to Athens, Zurich and Stockholm, in 2010 the European Design Festival arrived in Rotterdam. Whilst celebrating European design at its best, the festival also explores common ground and regional disparities, providing designers with an opportunity to meet and network. The festival also aims to raise the benchmark by awarding prizes for outstanding contributions to the industry.
When Studio Dumbar was appointed to design the identity, we shifted the festival's perspective from appreciating aesthetics to provoking debate. Inspired by the visual language of protest movements, campaign graphics employ elements of European flags, while hand-drawn lettering poses questions such as "Who has the answer?" and "Who draws the line?" The concept enabled us to create aesthetically powerful work that also addressed larger issues such as the pan-European credit crisis.

Angelo's Spaghetti & Pizza House celebrates 50 years in Irving this month. Angelo's began in February of 1966 as a tiny 9-booth, 3-table restaurant with old world Sicilian recipes and great prices.
Now, 50 years later, the restaurant will say "thank you!" to customers from Feb. 15 to 20 with drawings, daily prize giveaways, a jelly bean guessing contest, the pizza "Wheel of Fortune) and, best of all, a roll back of menu prices on selected menu items (from 5 to 10 p.m.).
It's quite a coup for a restaurant to last that long and Angelo's wants the community to know how much it appreciates its customers by offering these anniversary activities.
The restaurant is at 1330 W. Pioneer Drive. For more information, contact Don King at 972-259-1130 or at firstname.lastname@example.com or Cliff McElroy at 972-679-9158, email@example.com.

Carolus Clusius
Charles de l'Écluse, L'Escluse, or Carolus Clusius (Arras, February 19, 1526 – Leiden, April 4, 1609), seigneur de Watènes, was a Flemish doctor and pioneering botanist, perhaps the most influential of all 16th-century scientific horticulturists.
Clusius studied at Montpellier, France, with the famous medical professor, Guillaume Rondelet, though he never practiced medicine.[1] In 1573 he was appointed prefect of the imperial medical garden in Vienna by Maximilian II and made Gentleman of the Imperial Chamber, but he was discharged from the imperial court shortly after the accession of Rudolf II in 1576. After leaving Vienna in the late 1580s he established himself in Frankfurt am Main, before his appointment as professor at the University of Leiden in October 1593. He was invited to join the Accademia dei Lincei as a corresponding member in 1604.[2]
Clusius helped create one of the earliest formal botanical gardens of Europe at Leiden, the Hortus Academicus, and his detailed planting lists have made it possible to recreate his garden near where it originally lay.
In the history of gardening he is remembered not only for his scholarship but also for his observations on tulips "breaking" — a phenomenon discovered in the late 19th century to be due to a virus — causing the many different flamed and feathered varieties, which led to the speculative tulip mania of the 1630s. Clusius laid the foundations of Dutch tulip breeding and the bulb industry today.
His first publication was a French translation of Rembert Dodoens's herbal, published in Antwerp in 1557 by van der Loë. His Antidotarium sive de exacta componendorum miscendorumque medicamentorum ratione ll. III ... nunc ex Ital. sermone Latini facti (1561) initiated his fruitful collaboration with the renowned Plantin printing press at Antwerp, which permitted him to issue late-breaking discoveries in natural history and to ornament his texts with elaborate engravings. Clusius, as he was known to his contemporaries, published two major original works: his Rariorum aliquot stirpium per Hispanias observatarum historia (1576)— is one of the earliest books on Spanish flora— and his Rariorum stirpium per Pannonias observatorum Historiae (1583) is the first book on Austrian and Hungarian alpine flora.[3][4] His collected works were published in two parts: Rariorum plantarum historia (1601) contains his Spanish and Austrian flora and adds more information about new plants as well as a pioneering mycological study on mushrooms from Central Europe; and Exoticorum libri decem (1605) is an important survey of exotic flora and fauna, both still often consulted. He contributed as well to Abraham Ortelius's map of Spain. Clusius translated several contemporary works in natural science.
Clusius was also among the first to study the flora of Austria, under the auspices of Emperor Maximilian II. He was the first botanist to climb the Ötscher and the Schneeberg in Lower Austria, which was also the first documented ascent of the latter. His illustrated works form an important chapter in sixteenth century natural history.[5]
His contribution to the study of alpine plants has led to many of them being named in his honour, such as Gentiana clusii, Potentilla clusiana and Primula clusiana. The genus Clusia (whence the family Clusiaceae) also honours Clusius.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/12/2010 (2452 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Day 5 of the Free Press's 21 Days of Holiday Cookies features Edna Mroz's Christmas Cookies. We will be publishing one cookie recipe every day -- Monday to Saturday -- till Christmas.
Edna Mroz of Beausejour sent in a recipe for Christmas cookies that cleverly combine the flavours of fruit cake with the ease of a drop cookie.
Christmas cookies
228 g (1 cup) butter or margarine, softened
175 ml (3/4 cup) brown sugar, packed
1 egg
310 ml (1 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
2 ml (1/2 tsp) cinnamon
2 ml (1/2 tsp) baking soda
125 g (1/2 cup) chopped dates
125 g (1/2 cup) glace cherries, chopped
2 slices candied pineapple, chopped
250 ml (1 cup) walnuts, chopped
125 ml (1/2 cup) slivered almonds
125 ml (1/2 cup) Brazil nuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F). Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda and add to butter mixture. Add fruit and nuts and stir to combine. Drop by small spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets (or cookie sheets lined with parchment paper). Bake for 10-15 minutes.
Tester's notes: This is a tender, cakey cookie, rich with the Christmassy flavours of the fruits and nuts. My first batch scorched so I turned my oven down to 160 C (325 F). You might want to chill batter in the fridge before baking, to keep cookies from spreading too quickly as they bake.

50 Cent suing his ex for claiming he burnt her house down
50 Cent is suing Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of his son Marquise, for defamation. Shaniqua is claiming 50 is responsible for the fire last month that burnt down her house – with her and Marquise in it. But 50 knows how to handle snitches: litigation, son. Get all legal up on that ass. NY Daily News reports:
"There comes a point where you can no longer sit on your hands and listen to her spread these falsehoods," 50's lawyer, Brett Kimmel, tells us. "Besides hurting his reputation, they have a damaging impact on their son."
The hip-hop king (real name, Curtis Jackson) charges that since the fire, Tompkins has refused to let him see Marquise or tell him where he's living.
I bet I know where Marquise is living. Somewhere non-flammable! Am I right? High-five. But no, seriously, 50 should be allowed to talk to his son. Yeah, he kind of maybe considered Marquise's life acceptable collateral damage in his battle with Shaniqua over the house, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love him. Okay, it does, but you're missing the point here: The guy burns shit down when he doesn't get his way.

The carton and pallet specifications must ensure the safe arrival of merchandise and meet the following criteria:
- All merchandise must be packed in re-shippable cartons with a burst strength of 200 psi or greater.
- Merchandise that is greater than 21 inches (53.3cm) in length or 25 pounds must be shipped as single units, safe for transit in a small package environment.
- Cartons must be fully enclosed with no exposure of internal contents. If inner cartons are being used, these must be sealed securely as well.
- Cartons should be sized to fit snuggly around the internal packaging so there is no room for the product to move or vibrate.
- If there is unoccupied space, merchandise must be well protected, such that no internal movement occurs when the box is shaken. Please use sufficient padding to prevent this.
- Do not pack more than 50 (fifty) pounds to a shipping carton, unless the weight of a single item exceeds this weight limit.
- Maximum acceptable carton dimensions are 24" (61cm) length, 16" (40.6cm) width, and 18" (45.7cm) height, unless the size of the item exceeds these dimensions.
- Minimum carton dimensions require that the height of the carton be at least 4", and the width not be less than 6," in order to be able to apply the Tradestone UCC128 carton label on the edge of the cartons without the barcode being folded around the edges. There are no minimum restrictions to the length of the carton.
- All LTL and full trailer loads are to be palletized using standard 48" (121.9cm) x 40" (101.6cm) pallets.
- For vendors shipping UK orders to the Gap DC, pallets must be in compliance with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) standards regarding heat treatment of pallets. (Please see pictures and further details for heat-treated pallets below.)
- Packed pallets should not be taller than 84" (213.3 cm).
- This height is a general rule. It is contingent upon the strength of the cartons and the weight of the products. Bottom cartons on a pallet must not arrive crushed in any way.
- Multiple POs can be shipped on the same pallet when each PO is relatively small and when the POs are shipping to the same DC.
- When packing multiple POs on a pallet, the POs should be separated, with no 'mixing' on the pallet. The lead carton of each PO with the attached packing list should be clearly visible upon arrival at the DC.
- Do not use staples to seal or secure cartons. Only use tape.
- Do not place bands or straps on cartons as they may damage our sorting equipment.
- Tape must be professional heavy-duty clear plastic box tape, or cord reinforced brown paper box tape. No plastic office tape.
- In places where it applies to the product being shipped, cartons need to be printed with clearly visible standard 'Fragile', 'This way up' and 'Keep Dry' pictorial symbols (if applicable to your product), as per ASTM D5445 "Standard Practice for Pictorial Markings for Handling of Goods" or similar.
Carton Marking
- All orders must be shipped with a Tradestone packing list and Tradestone UCC-128 Carton Labels.
- The Tradestone packing list should be attached to the outside of the lead carton, in a packing list enclosed envelope.
- The UCC-128 Carton Labels should be attached to every carton – on the lower right hand corner of the short side or end of the carton, as shown below.
Examples of Properly Heat-Treated Pallets
HT – Stands for heat treated. Methyl Bromide (MB) fumigation is another acceptable option that complies with ISPM and IPPC standards. Heat treating requires 'cooking' the pallet to 130 degrees for ½ hour. The MB process is a chemical process. Either one is acceptable, and in some cases, pallets may have undergone both processes.

Full house
Vicky, Mence and Venice Tsoi (from left) Sisters and owners of Mence Beauty
Mence: I think Christmas is such a happy time of year. In our family it's a time to give thanks and eat good food - it's just a little bit too easy to put on weight!
Vicky: It's the party season. I just love to go out and have some fun, and catch up with some rest too.
Venice: It's not so easy for me: I'm the designated cook for the whole family. Most of my Christmas Day is taken up with cooking an enormous turkey.
Mence: We're a very close family. We all live on different floors of the same building, and that makes it easy to see each other regularly. That's handy because, with all our children, we have birthdays all the time.
Vicky: Every day is Christmas in our family; we celebrate all the time.
Venice: But when Christmas comes round it gets even more exciting. We have a very full house, because all our relatives come, including our aunties in Australia and a lot of close friends.
Mence: We always put decorations up throughout the house and make it look really festive.
Vicky: Between us we have quite a lot of kids, and they get very excited at Christmas time. Of course, they all want the most expensive presents possible.
Mence: We try our best to resist, but I think we always seem to give in and get what they want in the end.
Venice: I think it's just such a nice, warm and enjoyable holiday to have in the middle of winter, and a great time to be together as a family.

International Nameplate Automobile Dealers Announce Monthly Sales
International Nameplate Automobile Dealers Announce Monthly Sales
Holiday Shoppers Boost November's Auto Sales
Alexandria, VA--December 4, 2013: The American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA) today released November 2013 sales figures for the international nameplate automobile industry. AIADA represents America's approximately 10,000 international nameplate franchises whose brands accounted for 56.4 percent of all vehicles sold in the United States last month, up from 54 percent in October.
AutoData Corp. estimated the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) at 16.41 million units versus 15.32 million units a year ago and 15.23 million units in October. This is the highest reported SAAR since February 2007 totaled 16.8 million units. Sales for all brands, unadjusted for business days, rose 8.9 percent from November 2012 and 8.4 percent year over year.
November's sales were driven by black Friday promotions, new incentives, and the debut of some attractive new models. The second half of the month was particularly inviting for shoppers looking for a discount. Carmakers offered incentives averaging just over $2,500 per vehicle in November, up from November 2012, but down 2 percent from October 2013. Nissan's sales were up 10.8 percent, Subaru saw an increase of 29.8 percent, and Toyota's sales rose 9.7 percent. Honda's results fell by 2.3 percent, but its luxury Acura division, driven by record sales for the RDX crossover, was up 18.9 percent.
"In November the SAAR topped 16 million for the second time in 2013, proving to many that we are seeing a true and sustainable industry-wide recovery," said AIADA President Cody Lusk. "All signs indicate that international nameplate dealers will finish out the year on solid footing."
In November, international brands accounted for 702,810 units sold, up from 652,008 in October. Asian nameplates held 45.4 percent of the market, up from 43.6 in October. European nameplates took an 11 percent share, up from 10.4 percent in October. Domestic brands occupied a 43.6 percent share, down from 46 percent in October and 45.1 percent in September.

Summer Drinking With Philglas & Swiggot: The Pairing of Wine and Cheese
With the beginning of summer upon us, it's time to kick back and enjoy time in the sunshine with family and friends. At Philglas & Swiggot we embrace the laid-back approach to summer entertaining: a rustic table in the garden with simple natural linens, vases of fragrant herbs and, in the evening, a cluster of beautiful beeswax candles.
What to serve? If you are rushed for time (or inspiration), a selection of cheese* is an easy yet sophisticated way to start or finish a relaxed gathering with friends. A chunk of crumbly cheddar, a ripe, gooey soft-rind cheese, a wodge of salty Manchego** or a robust blue - all are satisfying on their own or paired with one or two other cheeses, crusty bread, a sliver of quince paste and a pile of oatcakes. Complimenting cheese with wine can be a tricky, so we have put together a few suggestions:
Domaine de L'Ile Porquerolles Rose 2015 + Taleggio La Baita DOP
Isle de Porquerolles is just off the coast of Provence near Toulon, and is a famed French National Park and tourist destination. Domaine d'Ille is the only winery on the island and its vineyards are organically farmed. This is a nearly equal blend of Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvedre and Tibouren - its lush, exotic and rounded styling characteristic of a gently powerful Provence rosé.
Pair with a salty Taleggio La Baita from Lombardy to match the maritime dreaminess of the Porquerolles.
Bodegas Rafael Palacios 'Louro' Godello 2015 + Manchego
Rafael Palacios is arguably Spain's most gifted white winemaker, the result of his singular focus on one grape variety – Godello. He is based in the beautiful region of Valdeorras, deep in the Galician hinterland in northwestern Spain. The vineyards here are at high altitude, planted in sandy soils and often untrellised and low yielding.
Godello has a gorgeous white peach fleshiness, but in Rafael's hands it also shows citrus undertones, chestnut flowers and his careful elevage in the winery lends his wines the most gorgeous, silky textures.
Pair with a youthful Manchego, where the subtle but dry texture acts as an elegant complement to the perfection of the Louro.
Vicentini Agostino Il Casale Soave 2014 + Ossau-Iraty Istara (sheep's milk cheese)
The Agostini wines are grown on volcanic soils and are consequently delicate, crystalline and fragrant. This is a subtly feminine style of Soave laced with elderflower, ginger and lemony fruit characters. Charming and very refined.
Pair with an Ossau-Iraty Istara from Basque country. The subtle flavours of the Il Casale Soave are an ideal match for the sheep's milk cheese, the characteristics of which begin shyly but build depth with time on the palate.
Cascina Feipu dei Massaretti Pigato Albenga 2014 + Pouligny Saint-Pierre (goat's milk cheese)
A delicious and rare variety from Liguria, this Pigato is floral and aromatic but deceptively virile on the palate with a wonderful oily texture and phenolic grip that lasers through food. The steep terrain and humid maritime climate need hard work in the vineyard to keep low yields and mildew at bay, meaning these wines are often tiny production and most often only locally available.
Pair with a Pouligny Saint-Pierre from the Loire Valley. The liveliness of the Pigato and focused flavour is a good foil for the creamy softness of this natural-rind goat's milk cheese.
Suertes del Marques 7 Fuentes + Montgomery Cheddar
The Canary Islands have centuries of winemaking experience thanks to their historic location as a staging post for Atlantic voyages to the New World, but they drifted out of modern winemaking radar – until now. Listan Negro is the grape variety, one known for its workhorse role as a bulk wine provider in South America (where its known as Pais or Criolla) and the USA (where its known as Mission).
Grown on active volcanic slopes this is fragrant, transparent, light-bodied and imbued with the fiery freshness of brimstone. Made from 50+ year old vines in a landscape more akin to the moon, this is an astonishing, interesting and delicious summer red.
Pair boldly with a powerful Montgomery Cheddar.
*We love Neal's Yard Dairy, Hamish Johnston, and Rippon Cheese - all have a great selection of cheeses and knowledgeable, helpful staff.
**Best when squeezed into a suitcase on return from a fabulous holiday in Spain. After vintage in a vineyard in La Mancha, our own Justin Knock once stashed a couple of large Manchego rounds into his suitcase...along with an entire leg of Jamon!

Krista Allen, Jewel Kilcher, and William Shatner are among the stars taking part in a new celebrity racing show, "Fast Cars & Superstars," to debut in America this summer.
Our beloved Hollywood celebrities, naming some are Krista Allen, Jewel Kilcher, and William Shatner, apparently like challenge. They are all have been confirmed to take part in "Fast Cars & Superstars," a new celebrity racing show to debut in America this summer.
Some other stars about to take part in the reality show among others are tennis star Serena Williams, surfing hero Laird Hamilton and his wife, volleyball star-turned-model Gabrielle Reece, and skateboarding icon Tony Hawk.
Concerning their taking part in the project, they will all team up with Nascar race aces to learn the tricks of the track ahead of the speed trial special, where the stars will whiz around Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina attempting to score the fastest five-lap time, it has been reported.


text: This will create a preference for loans to be securitized by the GSEs. The preference, along with the guarantee on principal and interest on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities, and the end of sub-prime product features should make the return of "meaningful private securitization extremely unlikely," according to FBR. While the government has talked about reducing the role of the GSEs in housing market, it remains to be seen if there is political will to do so. For one, no one wants to shake up the housing market while the economy is still weak, though some believe that Obama as a second-term president might actually be best placed to take on GSE reform. No first-term President will wade into the political mess that is housing. More importantly, as Miller notes, Fannie and Freddie's profits now go directly to the GSEs. Earlier this year, the U.S. Treasury changed the repayment requirements on the capital provided to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as part of their conservatorship. Under the previous agreement, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had been responsible for a 10% annual dividend paid quarterly. The new agreement requires a quarterly transfer to the Treasury of all profits of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "Some have argued that this change is a reduced payment for Fannie and Freddie, as most quarters resulted in one or both of the GSEs borrowing funds from the Treasury to cover the dividend that was owed," the analyst said. "We believe that the true result of this change will be the establishment of Fannie and Freddie as a significant source of revenue for the federal government for years to come. It remains uncertain as to whether the federal government will recoup its overall investment in the GSEs; however, the quarterly sweep of profits is likely to provide a revenue stream to the U.S. Treasury that will prove difficult for policymakers to abandon." --Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Shanthi Bharatwaj. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/shavenk.

ISPE 2015 Annual Meeting Kicks Off
Welcome to the 2015 Annual Meeting! We opened the conference with a welcome from ISPE President and CEO John Bournas, and exciting keynote sessions with some of the industry's most highly regarded leaders. Each keynote speaker enlightened audience members about different aspects of change, transition, and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry today.
ISPE 2014 Chair of the Board Andy Skibo started us off with a presentation about the "state of the industry" as well as the current state of our society. Skibo spoke primarily on profound growth and positive change throughout the pharmaceutical industry. For example, he pointed out that soon 70-80% of the pipeline will be large molecules. Plus, we're seeing 11% growth in oncology, and biologics is driving growth in an emerging market: China.
Skibo compelled Annual Meeting attendees to "ride the wave" and embrace this transition period.
Kathryn Wengel, Worldwide Vice President for Johnson & Johnson Supply Chain, followed Skibo with an encouraging speech on the huge impact we are making as pharmaceutical engineers today. As Wengel put it,
"There has never been a better time to be an engineer in our industry than now."
With new data and technology emerging, Wengel says engineers are in a position to grow their businesses like never before. She used Johnson & Johnson as an example: in order to maintain healthy growth, the company focuses on visibility, innovation, and the end-to-end value of their products.
Wengel stressed the importance of the consumer: in order to succeed, businesses need an end-to-end value chain that begins and ends with the consumer. And, of course, our consumers are patients that need high-quality medicine. For Johnson & Johnson, it's all about strengthening patient trust and utilizing innovative technologies to continuously produce high-quality products. Wengel encouraged audience members to adopt the same mentality.
Closing the Keynote Session, Biogen's Executive Vice President of Pharmaceutical Operations and Technology John Cox spoke on the benefits of implementing innovation. According to Cox,
"Transformation is in our hands, and we have tremendous potential to change lives."
Cox spoke specifically on our potential to impact patients with special, rare, and neurodegenerative diseases. For example, he pointed out that there are 25 million people living with Alzheimer's disease around the world. Biogen is working to combat this disease through innovation in biologics manufacturing. According to Cox, disruptive manufacturing technologies, processes and capabilities will maximize the output of large-scale manufacturing plants and help deliver new biologic therapies to patients with illnesses like Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and spinal muscular atrophy. For Cox and his company, innovation has been the key to success.
"Biogen is committed to making a meaningful difference in people's lives," said Cox.

Is There Medication to Increase Weight Gain?
I am a 29 year old male and I would like to gain weight and increase my appetite. I don`t drink or smoke. Are there any prescription or non-prescription medications that cause weight gain, increased appetite, or both increased appetite and weight gain?
Thanks for your question. To my knowledge, there aren`t any over-the-counter appetite stimulants that you can buy. Some people find that taking a daily vitamin stimulates their appetite, so that may be something you`d like to try. If your appetite is poor for other reasons (illness, depression, etc, talk to your doctor about it). Your best bet for weight gain is to eat larger portions of the foods you currently eat, or consider meal replacements (such as Boost, Ensure, Slimfast or Carnation Instant Breakfast) as snacks between meals. These contain lots of calories, protein, vitamins and minerals and can aid in weight gain when consumed along WITH your normal diet. You can also gain weight by simply drinking more milk and juice during the day. These are calorie and nutrient dense and should not add much fat to your diet (depending on the type of milk you drink). You may also want to look into working out so that you not only gain weight, but also muscle. For more information on weight gain, search for previously asked questions on this site. Good luck!

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Former Army chaplain, author and minister James C. Pippin died on July 16. He was 91 years old.
Pippin entered the U.S. Army in 1951 as a chaplain and eventually rose to the rank of full bird colonel. According to The Oklahoman, "He was one of the highest-ranking denominational clergymen to minister in the gifts of the Holy Spirit."
Pippin resigned as senior pastor of the 3,600-member First Christian Church in Oklahoma City, Okla.—one of the five largest churches in his denomination—in 1972. His work in ministry saw him travel all over the world, including Melodyland in Anaheim, Calif., where he began a longtime friendship with the Rev. Ralph Wilkerson and served on the board of directors for Nora Lam Ministries.
He had A.B., M.Div. and D.D. degrees from Phillips University, where he met longtime friend the Rev. Oral Roberts. He also received a doctor of ministry degree from American Christian College and Seminary in Oklahoma City, where he was a professor.
Using laughter as a vital part of his ministry, Pippin hosted Laughing With the Lord! a weekly series on Trinity Broadcasting Network. Creation House published his autobiography, A Miracle a Minute! in 2001, and he had hoped to write a second book, titled Laughing With the Lord: The Humor of Christ.
Pippin and his wife of 62 years, Allene, owned Flower Mini-Mart and Parr's Flowers. He is survived by Allene, daughter Anne, granddaughter Alecia and great-grandson Otis.

Battle of the Bulge
December 17, 1944 — Belgium
Private Otto Hughes was a member of the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion(Heavy), an all black unit, when the Germans launched their winter attack that became known as the Battle of the Bulge. The 333 Field Artillery were out-numbered and over-run by the heavily armored Germans. The 333 FA Battalion lost many casualties.
Private Otto Hughes date of death is December 17th. He and 10 other members of his unit are presently buried at Luxemberg American Cemetery in Belgium. There were many other casualties and some of the deceased were brought back to be buried in the US.
There was an attrocity associted with this unit. Eleven of the black soldiers were captured by the Germans. But instead of taking them to prisoner of war camp, the Nazi SS soldiers took them outside of the town of Wereth, Belguim and tortured and mutilated them before killing them. This incident became known as the "Wereth 11". A docu-drama movie has been made about this event. (Pvt Hughes was not one of those murdered but was probably killed in action.)

PARIS — "[Bill Gaytten] wanted a flash of gun metal and metallic," makeup artist Pat McGrath explained backstage before the John Galliano show, referring to the label's creative director. "It's graphic and bold."
She overlayed models' eyebrows with thick, gray strokes and added silver-gray sparkles to their eyelids.
Hairstylist Orlando Pita said he was after "something that is really sculptural and very clean" and was using different textures in the ponytails conceived. Models' hair was made shinier on the sides than in the middle, echoing the various consistencies of fabrics used in the John Galliano fall 2013 collection.
Pita spritzed tresses with hairspray and also utilized a shine grease, called Let's Jam, from SoftSheen Carson.

US goalkeeper Tim Howard took the unusual step of releasing a statement through his agent on Tuesday apologizing for his postgame comments after Saturday's Gold Cup final, in which he blasted CONCACAF in a rare foul-mouthed tirade.
Howard said he felt disrespected by the postgame ceremony at the Rose Bowl, which Univisión sportscaster Fernando Fiore conducted mostly in Spanish. Fiore did intersperse English when presenting the US side with their runner-up medals, but that didn't stop the US No. 1 from uncharacteristically snapping when addressing the media shortly afterwards.
"I think it was a [expletive] disgrace that the entire postmatch ceremony was held in Spanish," Howard said on Saturday night. "You can bet your ass if we were in Mexico City, it wouldn't be all in English."
Howard also laughed off a CONCACAF representative's half-hearted attempt to gather the US team together for a postgame photo in the wake of their 4-2 loss.
READ: Howard vents frustration after 4-2 loss to Mexico
On Tuesday, the veteran 'keeper sought forgiveness for his hot temper.
"First, I would like to apologize for my language," Howard's statement read. "I am the father of young children, and I certainly do not believe profanity is appropriate in public comments. I was caught up in the heat of the moment."
Howard also added that he had no problem with the ceremony being partly in Spanish, as he believes Mexico were deserving champions on the night. But he did not apologize for the sentiment behind his outburst and stands by his position.
"In any important international match with postgame ceremonies, you would hope the tournament organizers would make sure that the primary language of each participating team is used so that the participants can understand what is being said," the statement continued. "To fail to do this is, in my opinion, disrespectful to the players.
"When this occurs on your home soil, it is particularly insulting. We, as American players, were asked to participate in a postgame ceremony at a match in Los Angeles and we are standing there trying to show good sportsmanship and yet the ceremony is going on and we are just looking at one another struggling to understand a word.
"It was, to be honest, humiliating, and I firmly believe the tournament organizers should not have put us in that position."
A CONCACAF spokesman declined to comment further on the statement when contacted by MLSsoccer.com.

Someone's back garden in Reigate, Surrey.
Seeing that I grew up for the first 15 years of my life in Reigate, and that the hashpoint was a few hundred metres from my prep school, I felt this was a lucky coincidence that I happened to be in England at the same time. The satellite map revealed the location to be at the border of two private gardens - I hoped that if I arrived late in the day when the owners might be home, I would convince one of them to let me in.
I arrived around 18:30 in Furzefield Crescent. As I was standing in front of the likely looking house, positioning myself from my printed satellite map, the owner arrived home, a middle-aged lady who I turned around to find waiting to turn into her own driveway. I explained the challenge to her, showed her the satellite map and the Ambassador form. I explained that I only wanted a picture of myself, not of her property. I felt I was quite convincing but being typically English she refused me access. "I know it sounds strange but I'd just rather not".
Still, the next door garden would provide equal access. They were under serious construction and I almost fell into a large hole walking a plank across their mauled front yard. Even though I'm meek and inoffensive and there were three of them home, they still wouldn't let me in, claiming there was a "Rotty" in the back yard. Duck the English and their closed-mindedness.
So in the end, although I was probably 20m from the hashpoint, this one also has to be chalked up as "Failed - No Public Access".

And so the accusation of 'slut' or 'whore' or 'prostitute' is less about how much sex women are supposedly having and how we judge it differently to men, and more to do with how much we demonise women's enjoyment of sex in general.

The Seduction of Impact
If Obamacare Is un-American, What Do You Call This?
"The last thing I'm going to do is not pay my rent because I have to pay for some state-mandated health coverage that I don't think I need."
via Massachusetts Health Insurance Mandate Stirs Dissent – NYTimes.com.
Indeed, 57 percent of the uninsured used medical services in 2007, and all but a few do so within five years. …with the total incurred by providers estimated by Congress to be $43 billion in 2008.
via Economists Argue Over the Cost of Caring for the Uninsured – The Daily Beast.
One of the largest pictures on the front page of today's Times shows someone carrying a sign that reads, "ObamaCare IS UnAmerican!" I do not pretend to know how to improve health care in this country, so maybe it is no surprise that I do not know — unlike every other white person in America, I am not a constitutional scholar — how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is actually un-American.
However, I observe that there is an inelegant philosophy of negativity that runs through the opposition to programs like so-called Obamacare. I can empathize with people who bristle when the government tells them what to do, but I cannot abide by critics who seem only to know what they do not want. For instance, I would respect placard-holding, antinsurance activists who apparently can spend all day outside the Supreme Court if they would also pledge to never avail themselves of emergency health care.
The person who The Times (and I) quoted, top, who said "the last thing" he was going to do is buy health insurance, is 53 years old, and he claims to be "in good shape." Now, I don't mean to say that his health is my business. Or to understate whatever financial straits he seems to be in. Or to overstate the over all cost of treating the uninsured. But when he gets prostate cancer or kidney stones or some other expensive-to-treat, easy-to-diagnose ailment, can I stand outside his house with a sign that reads, "Preventative Care IS Smart"?
Footnote: At the risk of mixing conservative oranges with libertarian apples, and after observing the virulent opposition to policies that largely benefit poor Americans, I observe also that there seems to be very little charity — e.g., "He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD" — imbued in the operation of our so-called Christian nation.

Pdflatex is blocking writes to the TeX it is working on. This is annoying, fixing changes causing pdflatex not going through a particular tex file gets blocked as long as pdflatex is not manually terminated.
There is another unwanted blocking issue if the pdf is already opened in Acrobat, under Linux the pdf viewer just gets updated once a new pdf is created, which makes things working more smooth.
To dig into those issues one could search through the forum to find a suggestion on how to do/implement this in MiKTeX:

HIV and AIDS
Can The Eliza Test Give A False Positive?
How common is it for a person to receive a false positive on an ELISA test? I obtained a positive result from a test that my life insurance policy required me to take. I am awaiting results from another test (western blot) from my primary care physician in two weeks. The sexual encounter that may have exposed me was about 6 months ago. (a one night-stand). Other than this one night, I have been faithful to my wife who tested negative on the same exam. She too is being retested. Is it common for my wife to be negative even though we have been having sex since the encounter occured over 6 months ago? We are confused. We are both anxious to know if I am really HIV positive.
The standard serologic test consists of an EIA and Western Blot. The EIA screening test requires a repeatedly reactive test which is the criterion for WB (Western Blot) testing. WB alone has a 2% rate of false positives.
It is possible for your wife to be negative on the same exam.
Only your test results will be able to answer your questions.

A Mixed Bag in Second Norwegian Cruise: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by busyone
Overall Member Rating
A Mixed Bag in Second Norwegian Cruise
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Now for the negatives we encountered. Dining, dining, dining. The problem was not the actual food, but the organization and management of the dining experiences. The first night of the cruise we selected Taste for dinner, based upon the posted menu. However, that menu was incorrect, and members of our group were very disappointed because we had skipped another dining venue because of what we thought was on the menu in Taste. Eating in the buffet at breakfast the next morning was impossible. Because of the way the buffet is set up, lines wrap in front of multiple food stations with people waiting for omelets. Even if you were willing to settle for something other than an omelet, you literally could not get to food. As bad as the morning was, the night they served lobster in the buffet was worse. We had reservations for Blue Man and went to the buffet because we found service in Taste a little slow the night before. We had no idea that they were serving lobster, and it was a madhouse in the buffet. Lines of dozens and dozens of people snaked through the buffet area in front of all the food stations with people waiting for lobster. There were plenty of other food stations, but you could not get to them for the throngs of people waiting for lobster. We finally left and went to Blue Man, settling for a late snack after the show. However, the evening was spoiled because of the bad dining experience. We finally gave up with trying to select based on menu and just went where it appeared we could eat without waiting too long or being crushed. I can truly say that I enjoyed my meal of jerk chicken at an outdoor local café better than any meal that I had on the ship. My daughter and son-in-law booked at the Brazilian steak house, and they did not feel that the experience there was good either. They were only offered the premium cuts of meat one time with chicken and other cheaper meats circulated multiple times. She felt that the cover charge should have warranted a better experience than they had. Overall, the dining was truly a disaster--so much so that it impacted attitudes toward other aspects of the cruise.
I also felt that entertainment was lacking on this particular cruise. The shows we saw were very good. Blue Man was funny, the Elvis impersonator was excellent, and Second City was funny. The problem is that because those shows are repeated on several different nights so all passengers have a chance to see them, you have multiple nights with limited other options. There was partying on the top deck, the casino, Deal or No Deal, and little else.
Even though we still enjoyed the cruise, I may pick a different cruise line next time. Less

Cabin review: 11213
Cabin 11213 has an excellent location. The cabin is located between two sets of elevators so by going left when exiting the cabin, you ended up at the back of the ship. Going right sent you to the front. It made navigation on the ship very easy. The cabin was quiet and had plenty of storage, and the balcony was a source of constant enjoyment. It has a roof formed by Deck 12 and people on higher decks cannot look down on you and see you. We had balconies below us that were like that, and I would not like one of those. Our view was unobstructed, and we spent many hours on the balcony. The only negative in the cabin was the length of the bed, which is a problem in most of the cabins on the Epic. My husband is tall, and the bed was not long enough to accommodate him. We used the trick I had learned on Cruise Critic about sliding the mattress down a bit from the headboard, but it was annoying to need to do it every night.
