Economics of Health (Encyclopedia of Public Health)
Health is fundamental to living, but are the choices people make regarding their health fundamentally different from the choices they make in other areas of their life? The economics of health adapts the general study of how people make choices to issues involving health. Much of the focus is on the interaction among individuals, the health care system, and government policy. However, the boundaries of health economics also include topics linking individuals with other parts of the economy, topics such as lifestyle choices, the effect of air and water pollution, and the provision of public services such as drinking water and sewage water treatment.
Economics is built on scarcity. People have many desires, among them good health, but there is a lack of resources to provide all things to all people. In the presence of this scarcity, someone, or some process, must decide what mixture of goods and services to produce, what quantity of each is to be produced, and how to allocate the production to participants in the economy. If the world is such that people are well informed, there are many buyers and sellers, there are no barriers to moving resources from one use to another, and one consumer's or producer's choice does not affect another's outside the market place; economic analysis indicates that a market (or price) system will function well. The market will decide what to produce, including various kinds of medical care; decide the quantity to be produced; and allocate what is produced in a way that no one individual can be made better off without making someone else worse off. This is the economist's notion of an efficient outcome. Economists recognize that many efficient production and allocation combinations are possible, although the results may not always be viewed as equitable. But efficiency, not equity, is the focus of economists.
When the situation differs from the criteria for efficiency, then markets can yield an inefficient outcome. This means that if a change can be made that leaves one person better off without leaving another person worse off, there can be a winning situation for everyone. Consequently, economists advise leaving situations alone where the criteria are met, and changing the situation where the criteria for efficiency are not met.
The economics of health focuses on real or perceived differences between the economically idealized setting for efficiency and the setting for decisions about health. Such differences would not be important if health-related economic activity were a small part of the economy. However, the health care system in the United States has grown from 5 percent of gross national product (GNP) in 1960 to 13.5 percent in the late 1990s. This figure excludes numerous expenditures not directly related to the health care system, such as the control and treatment of water and air pollution. Expenditures on water and air pollution control and treatment were approximately 2.5 percent of GNP in the late 1990s. Consequently, these two components alone involved over 1.2 trillion dollars in 1997, an amount over three times the amount spent on national defense or almost twice the amount spent by consumers on durable goods such as cars and furniture. In short, if economic behavior differs from the conditions for efficiency, the effects can be enormous.
There are many conditions that may be different for health-related goods and services compared to other products. These include:
- Information: Consumers may not be informed about the nature and quality of health care being purchased.
- Uncertainty: Randomness in the cause and timing of ill health.
- Barriers to competition: Limitations may be placed on health care labor, the use of hospitals, or other resources.
- Externalities: One person's or firm's action can affect those of a third party separately from financial effects in the marketplace.
Furthermore, economists' concern with efficiency ignores a concern for fairness regarding what obligation a society owes to provide health treatment for the poor, the disadvantaged, or other groups.
Health, for an individual, is a state of being. Economists often think of health as an asset of the individual that is produced through the use of various inputs. This asset can depreciate, improve through investment, or just be maintained. Individuals can undertake a variety of actions to achieve their desired level of health, which is constrained by physical factors and is subject to various risks. People's choices about living location, work, diet, recreation, over-the-counter medication, and formal health care can all affect their health status. Perhaps startlingly, studies of factors that determine health in affluent societies indicate that changes in lifestyle choice and statusuch as environment, income, education, and cigarette consumptionutweigh the contribution of changes in health care services.
To the extent that information is public knowledge, a market with costly information can still be efficient. However, if there are barriers to knowledge about health-improving opportunities, then markets may not be efficient. The debate in health economics relates primarily to health care information and the role of the physician, and secondarily to the quality of hospital and other services. For example, most individuals purchase over-the-counter drugs for mild, repetitive problems, such as headaches or a common cold. With such purchases there is little financial loss for a wrong decision. If a consumer is not satisfied with Brand X, he or she can switch to Brand Y. In contrast, when an individual seeks professional health care for serious problems, a wrong choice could be costly, and the specialized knowledge required for resolution may be beyond the reach of the typical consumer at the time that information is needed.
This nonstandard form of economic service is one type of what is called a merit good in economics. A merit good leads to a situation where an agent, say a physician, is working on the consumer's behalf to choose the appropriate remedy. In that sense, physicians are asymmetrically informed compared to patients. Doctors are high on a scale of expertise that can also include services such as those of automobile mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, teachers, travel agents, lawyers, and so on. Each has expertise whose quality is difficult for a consumer to evaluate in advance, and each involves a skill that the consumer may purchase infrequently. Several difficulties exist for the efficient working of a health care market in such a situation. The consumer has difficulty choosing, and the agent can have incentives to add unnecessary services that may not be in the consumer's best interests problem called "supplier-induced demand" in the health literature. While research tends to reject a large impact for this problem, it can be exacerbated or reduced depending on the financial terms of the contract between patient and physician. Professional certification is one method used to signal a minimum level of quality to patients, while malpractice suits are an after-the-fact quality-reinforcing mechanism. Professional certifications are typically necessary to work in medicine in the developed world. Finally, some argue that a tradition of medical ethics serves as a counterbalance to these information asymmetries.
A relatively new topic in this discussion is the role of quality information for medical care providers. Important differences in frequency and outcome of treatment, called "small area variations," have lead to suggestions that either patients or physicians, or both, are relatively uninformed. One method to improve the functioning of health care markets is to make information more available. In particular, various ranking methods for hospitals and doctors have been developed to identify those of apparently lower (and higher) quality, while restrictions on advertising have been struck down as illegal. There is economic incentive in providing the rational consumer, whether an individual or organization providing insurance, with information to improve the efficiency of economic choices in the medical marketplace.
Information also plays a key role in government programs related to health risks from food and drugs. From meat and other food inspection to the certification of drugs, government certification programs are targeted at overcoming consumer difficulties in evaluating product quality. While some certifications could be handled by market processes, as through a credible third-party seal of approval or the threat of litigation, the safety of food and drugs is an established part of government regulation. The debate regarding genetically altered food products is only one example that combines both information issues and the potential for indirect, third-party effects, discussed as externalities later in this section.
While the search for information can reduce some aspects of uncertainty about quality or price, the random aspect of illness is another type of uncertainty. From an individual's viewpoint, one's health state may change due to a large variety of health problems related to aging, accidents, disease, and so on. Individuals can "take their chances" and, if an accident or illness occurs, obtain what treatment is available within their budgets. This "self-insurance" option is risky, however, since individuals would not be able to afford care for serious health problems. In the early 1990s about 15 percent of the U.S. population was self-insured, or, more accurately, uninsured. If such individuals choose to access the health care system, they must either pay for services directly or seek free treatment.
In fact, various types of medical insurance are widespread in developed countries. In the United States, employer-provided medical insurance expanded rapidly during World War II, while Medicaid and Medicare (both begun in 1966) provide a form of medical insurance for the poor and the elderly, respectively. Insurance works as a market concept because health uncertainty is large for an individual but can become quite stable across a large population, a statistical result of the law of large numbers. Thus, the number of cardiovascular problems in a large population may be similar year to year, although to an individual it is a very uncertain event. By pooling resources through insurance, each person at risk pays a smaller guaranteed payment in exchange for more expensive conditional coverage if a health problem occurs. While individuals can, and often do, pay for their own health insurance, the tax-free status of employer-provided health benefits in the United States provides an incentive to businesses to expand coverage in place of wage or salary increases.
As with the potential problem of asymmetric information between physician and patient, various asymmetry problems arise with regard to insurance. Those individuals with potentially more health demands have an incentive not to reveal such information, a problem known as "moral hazard" or "adverse selection." If this occurs too frequently, insurance premiums are incorrectly charged or insufficient. A second problem can occur if medical care is free to those insured. In such cases the care may be overused in comparison to the benefit received.
Insurance plans in the United States, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Medicare and Medicaid, focused for many years on administering bill-paying systems that implemented fee-for-service types of contracts to reimburse the health care provider. This contractual form places all the financial risk with the insurance company or government and is thought to be a significant contributor to rapid increases in health care costs. In contrast, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) combine the three roles of insurer, administrator, and health care provider. Consequently, they are potential competitors in both the insurance market and in the provider market. HMOs receive income through a steady stream of periodic payments per enrollee, a form of revenue called "capitation." As HMOs, which are increasingly for profit organizations, retain any cost savings from improved case management, they are said to internalize the incentive to reduce cost. A variety of other types of organizations mix and match the roles of insurer, plan administrator, and health care provider, with the result of increasing competition in both the insurance and provider markets. Other details of insurance, including deductibles (a fixed amount paid before insurance coverage begins), co-payments (a monetary fee paid by the patient per service), co-insurance (a fixed percentage paid by the patient), and coverage of in-patient (hospital) or out-patient claims, have all been studied for their economic incentives on various parties. For example, some form of consumer payment reduces the number of small claims, which require more administrative effort, or transaction costs, and also provides some impetus to search for low-cost providers.
A bewildering array of policies have evolved over the years that both encourage and retard competition in health care. Many of these policies involve barriers to entry for those who provide health care services. When these barriers are lowered the number of health care providers tends to increase, encouraging competition. Also important has been the role of large buyers of health care services, such as governments and large employers. Such buyers have been able to change the market conditions where there are organized sellers of health services.
The economic analysis of competition requires the definition of closely related markets. The broad health care market can be identified as producing goods or services using inputs such as specialized labor services like doctors and nurses, medical equipment and drugs, and buildings and facilities. In 1997, hospitals received 34 percent of health expenditures and physicians received just under 20 percent, with smaller fractions going to other providers. Major subjects for the economic analysis of competition have included the impact of barriers to entry in the labor markets for physicians and nurses, the institutional structure of health insurance and provider markets, and research and development for medicinal drugs.
The economic analysis of medical labor markets has generally been one of analyzing barriers to entry. These restrictions, first taking the form of state licensing of physicians, can be a response to concerns about quality that are based on the lack of information of the consumer. However, economists have also analyzed the various restrictive practices promoted by medical organizations as serving primarily to increase the income of physicians, and less consistently to preserve or improve quality. Among these restrictive practices were apparent limits on the number of U.S. medical schools and increasingly long training or "residency" times after graduation. This appeared to restrict the supply of new physicians without retraining existing physicians, which could also address concern for quality. Government policy linking funding to expanded medical school enrollment started in 1965 and seems to have reduced the shortage of physicians.
In addition to direct barriers to entry for labor, various practices contributed to limitations on competition. These include collusive behavior among physiciansncluding boycotting specific insurers, the denial of hospital privileges to physicians joining competitive organizations, and restrictions on advertising. While similar actions in industry would be considered anticompetitive and illegal based on federal anti-trust laws, it was not until the mid-1970s that these laws were applied to professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. A series of anti-trust cases on these topics reduced barriers to entry and increased information, thus opening the way to increased competition.
The fee-for-service form of health care financing has been much studied as a system that does not minimize costs. While federal expenditures do not dominate the system, providing about one-third of health care expenditures in 1997, increases in government health care costs have led to various efforts at reform. In 1973 the federal government passed the Health Maintenance Organization Act, which opened another door to increased competition. Through various amendments and related legislation, the government changed hospital planning requirements (certificates of need); changed hospital payments under Medicare to diagnostic-related groupings in order to establish fixed prospective payments; and eliminated a requirement that Medicaid provide "free choice" of medical provider to its constituents. Simultaneously, large employers became increasingly concerned with the cost of health insurance and undertook actions to modify contracts and provide incentives to providers to reduce costs, often under the umbrella of managed care. These changes, taken together, appear to have increased the competitiveness of the health care system and slowed down cost increases.
An important part of improved health, both in the United States and worldwide, is attributed to medical advances in the pharmaceutical industry. The research and development emphasis of this industry is another important issue in competitiveness. When research and development provides a new treatment, economic efficiency would dictate that such advances be distributed at the cost of production. However, the large sunk (precommitted) costs of research and development cannot be recovered at production-based prices, and profit-seeking firms will not invest in such efforts. Patents, which provide a monopoly or sole right to produce for a limited period of time, are a compromise between providing an incentive for research and development and the long-term economic interest of providing new treatments at low prices. In addition to providing patents, the federal government, through the Food and Drug Administration, also reviews new drugs for safety and effectiveness. This review adds time and expense, which in turn affects the incentives to conduct research and development. This problem was addressed in 1984 by providing an extension of the effective life of drug patents by taking into account part of the time taken for research and development and clinical trials. Issues about dynamic efficiency (efficiency over time), such as the role of research and development, remain at the forefront of economic research.
What constitutes public health has evolved over the years. In the nineteenth century it was more focused on sanitation projects, and later on medical science. The economics of health provides a common thread for why "public" health is seldom left to a free market. When a market transaction between two parties affects another that is unconsidered in the transaction, this indirect or external effect causes a market to fail to achieve economic efficiency. The concept of "public goods" is based on the concept of "externalities." Whatever the historical failings of sanitary engineers and public health officials in understanding the exact science of diseases, the indirect effects caused by people disposing of personal and industrial wastes in a detrimental manner is one justification for some form of government action, although not necessarily government provision of the specific goods or service. Government action can, and has, taken a variety of specific forms, including publicly owned water supply and treatment works, technological requirements, taxes, or numerically limited but tradable rights to pollute.
The concept of externalities opens a wide range of topics, some solidly within the economics of health, others at its boundary. There is little ambiguity about the presence of health-related externalities in the diffusion of gastrointestinal diseases such as typhoid fever, which caused an average of 53.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 1900 for fifteen large cites located on U.S. waterways. Its diffusion largely depends on the method of disposal of human and animal waste, and on the interaction of that disposal with sources of drinking water link broken in the United States with the advent of drinking water treatment or source control. Industrial pollution can have similar indirect impacts through the disposal of waste into the air, land, or water. Some programs of the Environmental Protection Agency are entirely or partially justified on health grounds. Finally, social problems such as violence and drug use have implications for the economics of health. Crime victims are, by definition, unwilling participants, and the causes of crime are therefore causes of "external effects." The impacts of this are not only health related but extend to a variety of defensive economic activities.
The economic analysis of external effects, and of health programs in general, typically involve identifying and quantifying the cause and size of the problem and designing institutional responses, often involving government action, to restore the efficiency of the marketplace or to provide for the public good. Identifying the externality typically involves some form of risk analysis, followed by economic valuation of that risk. As many risks are not bought and sold in the marketplace, a variety of indirect estimation tools have been developed. Efforts to put a value on a statistical life, a quality-adjusted life year, or even direct health endpoints, such as an asthma attack, are challenging and controversial. Policy design and evaluation are the next steps, with economic concerns about designs that are cost-effective (providing a given level of service at the minimum cost) or efficient (balancing the additional costs with the additional benefits). Benefitost analysis is one tool by which economists formally evaluate alternative policies, taking into account risk, valuation, program costs, and timing.
Issues of fairness, or equity, receive only modest attention in economics. Economists associate equity with the distribution of incomeho gains and who loses in particular actions. In a market exchange between two individuals, each person believes he or she will be better off after the exchange or else the transaction would never take place. Each transaction depends not only on the preferences of the individual but also on each individual's available income. In the standard economic view, if society does not like the result of voluntary transactions between individuals, then society should redistribute wealth in some way and then let the individual transactions take place. Either market solutionefore or after redistributing wealthould be viewed as efficient according to economists. Since economists have no particular expertise in what is the right or wrong distribution of wealth, they have generally focused on efficiency and ignored equity.
This hands-off approach stumbles in the face of numerous demands to provide advice on what actions are better or worse for the economy, technically called "welfare economics." Such advice requires adding up the welfare of all the individuals in the economy, and there is no objective method for knowing if the economy is better off so long as an action increases the welfare of someone at the expense of another. The economist's standard solution to this, exemplified in benefitost analysis, is to add up the value of benefits and costs no matter who receives them. If the benefits outweigh the costs (appropriately adjusted for time) then the winners can potentially compensate the losers and society is judged to be (potentially) better off.
Such prescriptions are criticized on equity grounds, with critics often pointing to the poor or to minority groups as the losers in this system. While various suggestions have been made to weigh the impacts of such groups differently, or to require actual instead of potential compensation to those who lose, such approaches were not widespread as of the 1990s.
In practice, health care is an area importantly influenced by equity concerns. The Medicare and Medicaid programs effectively insure large parts of the elderly and poor populations. In addition, free or reduced price treatment for the poor or otherwise disadvantaged is another long-standing feature of the ethics and practice of the health care system and was, in fact, the original basis for the development of hospitals. These applications of community values to provide in-kind services and to achieve distributional objectives are another version of a merit good, which is considered by some economists as sufficient justification for government involvement. Concerns for equitable access to health care continue to prompt reviews of who has and who does not have health insurance coverage. Economists contribute to this debate by estimating the costs and implications of extended coverage and by evaluating alternative policy designs.
Each society must answer the economic questions of how much health care is to be produced and how health care will be distributed. The way in which these allocations are made in practice in the United States mixes market forces with a large influence of direct and indirect government intervention. The work of economists is to highlight the efficiency aspects of this marriage of the marketplace and the statehouse.

Fabiolus Cucina
Online Reservations
We got a table on the patio and let our waiters know that we were attending a show. They ensured we were served and out of there in time. The food was excellent, fresh and tasty. Walking distance to the Pantages so a great place to eat before the show.
Fabiolus Cucina? Trust me, it was fabulous. We were looking for a restaurant near the Pantages for dinner before the show. We live in the SGV and avoid the Hollywood area because of the weekend traffic. We now have a new destination in Hollywood worthy of the traffic stress. It's off the corner of Sunset & Vine!
First time here. Enjoyed ourselves. Authentic Italian food. Service was outstanding. We will be back and we are raving to everyone we know.
Ceaser Salad was ok could use a little kick, the chicken on the salad was dry and tasteless, another chicken dish we had had the same dry chicken but covered in sauce. Chicken Parm was good, and pizza was very good.
The food was tasty, but the service was a bit slow for a place that was only 1/3 full.
This is our go to restaurant before see a play at the Pantages. The food is good and the service friendly and helpful. Nice wine list too.
Great food and love the patio. my go to place before a night at the theatre.
service was attentive, food was good and it's a great place before a show at the Pantages.
Facing Sunset Blvd, you'd never expect the wonderful patio and outside ambience that is revealed. I don't know if all of the pastas are homemade, but they appear to be. We had four different entrees/pastas and they were all outstanding!
Absolutely love this place when I'm in the mood for great pasta -- the perfect break from a low-carb diet! Heheh.
Fabiolus was our go to pre pantages dinner which we returned to after a bit of a break. What a wonderful surprise that they are in the midst of a renovation that is transforming the space into a seamless indoor/outdoor dining experience. As usual the food was wonderful and the owner was very attentive. Definitely save space for the heavenly ricotta cheesecake. They've also got a lovely wine selection at a variety of price points. As they are prone to a more leisurely dining experience if you've got theatre tickets to arclight or pantages definitely let your server know.
Outside patio / on-site parking / 2 blocks from the Pantages / very enjoyable!
This is a great place to dine before going to the Pantages Theater as it is just around the corner, about a 5 minute walk. We were promptly seated as we had reservations. Since we had to get to the theater in little over an hour, we ordered fairly quickly. Our food came out of the kitchen very quickly. In the meantime, we were given Italian bread to dip into olive oil and pesto. It was delicious. We each tried the Lasagne and it was one of the best I have ever had. The only downside to the evening was the waitress. I asked her twice for water and twice got no water. I finally had to flag down one of the bus boys. to get a refill. Also she did not ask inform us of any of the specials for the evening. Thus the one missing star.
Thanks again for a great dinner and friendly atmosphere!
My fiance' loved this place and loved the friendly generosity of the staff ! Food , of course, was outstanding!!!
I recently took friends who were visiting from out of town to Fabiolus Cucina for dinner, and we all loved this restaurant. They've remodeled since my last visit, and the restaurant looks fresh and current. The menu offers a great variety and everything is reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the food was outstanding. Thanks to its proximity to the Pantages Theater, Fabiolus makes for a great pre- or post-theater meal. Highly recommend!
We always dine here before going to the Pantages and we have never been disappointed in the meal or the service. Food is excellent with reasonable prices.. Always check their nightly specials. One of us had the special salmon salad and it was great. Our server, Marissa, was helpful, friendly, and had her eyes on her tables. She is a super server.
My wife and I live in Orange County and have been season ticket holders at the Pantages Theatre for several years, bringing us up to Hollywood 7-8 times a year. Our go-to restaurant for dinner before each show is Fabiolus Cucina. It is a quaint, friendly place where the owner (Fabio) and the wait staff (ask for Gabriel or Marissa) are extremely friendly and welcoming. The authentic Italian food is consistently fresh and wonderful, especially the desserts. The atmosphere is informal and the prices very reasonable. There is ample seating, indoor or out, and complimentary off-street parking directly behind the restaurant, which is conveniently located 4 blocks from the theatre. If you are looking for a wonderful meal, try Fabiolus.
Wait staff was very attentive and helpful in getting our party out on time for the show. The food was delicious with lots of variety. Cozy Italian small restaurant with great patio dining. Heaters and fire coals under umbrellas keeps you comfortable Go go go Enjoy!!
We were so pleased with this restaurant. We went there on the recommendation of a friend (OK, it was a friend who works there). We were not disappointed. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. The food was to die for (not literally). The owner came over to see how we were doing. Since I am gluten-intolerant, it seemed like a bad choice of cuisine for me. I was expecting to be eating salad. Surprisingly, they offered 2 varieties of gluten-free pasta. It tasted every bit as good as I remember "real" pasta tasting. I have nothing but good things to say about Fabiolus Cucina!
Excellent food and excellent service. Definitely sit outside. There's plenty of heat lamps if you eat there for dinner.
Great outdoor seating, nice heaters to keep warm, great vegan options, amazing pizza. Overall, a solid restaurant if you're in the Hollywood area and in the mood to dine in a quaint little neighborhood Italian restaurant.
This was our first visit to the restaurant in over a year. The physical transformation of the space is incredible. It feels much more open and much more comfortable. The food was great, as expected. Service was a little off, primarily because our waitress was also waiting on a large group. All in all, we are sure to be back soon.
The patio renovation looks beautiful! I've been craving the pesto and was not disappointed - the caesar salad dressing was al little bland last night but that's unusual. Coffee was delicious as I expected. We love coming here before a show at the Pantages! It's just a short walk and for the same fee as the local lots, we can leave our car in the restaurant lot, very convenient (and leave our left overs too!). We'll be back!
Saying that I feel like I am back in NY is meant as a real compliment. Those wonderful Mulberry St. restaurants where the family name has been in the same establishment for a LOT of years and the food is always wonderful. Thata is Fabiolus.....never a bad meal and always wonderful service.
My family had a truly incredible time here on Saturday night. Fabio is a fantastic host and there is a reason why Fabiolus Cucina has been around for OVER 20 YEARS! I highly suggest and recommend coming here for an authentic Itiallian meal (I added shrimp to the Penne Vodka which was insanely good) that is EXTREMELY reasonable and inline with most, if not all of the Italian restaurants in LA. The pizza specials were EXCELLENT! I have been to most of them and for the value, there are NONE that compare in my opinion. The service was outstanding as well. We will be back (and it is kid friendly with a huge kids menu!) Thank you Fabio and staff for a great night!
I love this restaurant for a pre-theatre meal. The food is excellent I'm especially partial to the ricotta cheesecake and pasta dishes with a good reasonably priced wine selection. The owner is very friendly and generally you get great service. I regretably say that I may have to stop going pre-show because this is the second time our waiter has completely stressed us out and we've run for show. We had a 15-20 minute delay between courses (our entrees were cold when they arrived so I suspect they'd been sitting there), we never got a chance to order a second bottle of wine for our group and almost missed the amazing cheesecake. It's been the same waiter both times so I may just request another section because I do love this restaurant. :-(
went there before Pantages Theatre and found the restaurant to be wonderful! They not only got us out in plenty of time, but our dining experience was fun and very enjoyable. Would give this lovely restaurant an A+ all around.
My husband and I were both very busy with professional obligations this Thanksgiving and didn't want to make an undue fuss of the holiday. We also did not want to dine on turkey, which we enjoy periodically all year long. Fabiolus Cucina was the perfect spot: no turkey but lots of excellent Italian food served with brio and good cheer. It helped us get through this family-oriented holiday without too much regret.
If you are looking for something different with nice outside seating, good food and easy parking behind the building this is a great place in Hollywood.
My husband and I live in Orange County but were going to the Pantages for a play. We found Fabiolus Cucina through Yelp and were glad that we did. Our food was delicious. The service was outstanding (which is actually more important to us than the food)We enjoyed the Calamari as a starter. I had the Sole and my husband enjoyed his Chicken Parm - with fries (which he wasn't expecting but loved!). We enjoyed Tiramisu for dessert and were off to the Pantages. I would recommend to a friend.
Ambiance was good along with the serivce. If you are looking for a good parking location the restaurant was within a few blocks from the show.

We're called the "no vacation nation" for a reason.
Americans usually don't have as many vacation days to use as people in other countries, but maybe it's no big deal.
A new report by Harris interactive shows a majority of Americans ended 2011 with unused vacation days.
57% to be exact, and many workers who make up that total left an average of eleven days on the table.
Why are we not taking breaks from our desk? The study shows most people believe they have too much work to do.
A fifth of workers surveyed also say they couldn't afford to travel.

Windows XP won't give up top spot without a fight
Windows XP has gradually been losing market share over the past few years, yet it continues to hang on as the most popular OS, according to the latest stats from Net Applications.
XP grabbed a 46.86 percent share of the OS market last month, up from 45.39 percent in February. At the same time, Windows 7 lost a bit of ground, capturing 37.53 percent in March, down from 38.12 percent in the prior month.
Neither stat represents a major shift. Over the longer haul, Windows 7 is still gaining in popularity, while XP has been shedding … Read more

Make Straight the Path - 2nd Sunday of Advent
By: Father Paul Voisin CR, posted: 2013-12-06
Sometimes people have asked me, "When should I go to Confession?" I usually respond, "When something hurts". Just like we go to the doctor when something hurts, so too we turn to the Lord for spiritual health in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The people who heard John the Baptist preach were also hurting.
They realized they had strayed from the covenant, turned away from God. His baptism of them in the River Jordan brought them a new lease on life. In our Advent season we may also recognize in our own lives what hurts – broken relationships, fears, doubts, lies, bad habits, etc. The Lord calls us to prepare for the celebration of his birth by recognizing what hurts and turn to him, to "make straight the path", so that his abundant life can come to us undeterred.
Each week of our Advent Journey provides us with abundant opportunities to turn to the Lord, "make straight the path" of our life, and dispel what makes us hurt.

Star-Anise Scones
I wanted to make these star-anise scones because I thought they'd go really well with the lemon curd that I made last week (recipe coming soon). They so did.
I'll be honest, these scones are somewhat of a triumph for me. I've never liked the taste of anise, licorice or fennel seeds, but lately I've been craving hints of the flavor. It's pleasantly surprising!
Now, if only I could change my feelings about beets...
I've found that there aren't many foods I don't like. There are, however, objectionable methods of food preparation. But I find that most foods have 'delicious potential,' and that's a hopeful thought. Maybe someday I'll find the right way to prepare those dreadful beets that everyone claims to love so much. I'm (trying to be) optimistic.
Star-Anise Scones
Recipe very slightly adapted from Bon Appétit.
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
1 large egg
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons freshly ground star anise
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick (or 6 tablespoons) butter
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons raw sugar
Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk 1/2 cup cream, egg, and lemon peel in medium bowl. Whisk flour and next 5 ingredients in large bowl. Using large holes of box grater, grate butter over dry ingredients. Using fingertips, blend until coarse meal forms. Add raisins and cream mixture. Stir until moist clumps form, adding more cream by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Turn out onto floured surface; knead just until dough comes together.
Pat out dough to 1/2-inch-thick round. Using 2-inch-diameter cutter, cut out scones. Gather dough scraps; press out to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out additional scones. Transfer to baking sheet.
Brush tops of scones with 2 tablespoons cream; sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake until golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 16 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I am impressed that you made lemon curd, it is still on my 'to accomplish' list.
The scones look yummy, espcially dressed in yellow and white! How funny that the day I went spice shopping for the two Indian recipes you offered, I picked up star anise too, just because! Guess that means I have to try this recipe too (licking lips).
Have you tried roasted beets? - May 3, 2011 at 1:01 PM
- Lindsay Jewell said...
Yeah, I've tried roasted beets. They were better, but I still didn't like 'em. Ah well..

Oh man, I'm with you on beets. I've tried them every which way and I think I can finally say exhaustively: I just don't like them.

The old calendar rule, "30 days has September...," works just fine for 11 of the 12 months. But that part about February is a little tricky. Not only is February the shortest month of the year, it's the only one that changes. And today is the day that happens -- Leap Day. It keeps the calendar in sync with the true seasons.
The modern calendar actually dates back to ancient Egypt, where the year was divided into 12 months of 30 days each. Five days were added to the end of the year, for a total of 365 days.
Later, the Romans adopted a 12-month calendar, too. But it was a bit of a mess. The months were different lengths, and leap days and months were added pretty much at whim. And even then, it didn't stay aligned with the seasons.
Julius Caesar changed all that in 46 BC, when he ordered an overhaul. The new calendar consisted of today's 12 months, which totaled 365 days. But it takes almost six hours longer than that for Earth to complete one full circle around the Sun, so an extra day was added to every year divisible by four -- years like 2008.
Even that still wasn't quite right, so the calendar began to drift away from the true seasons. So in 1582, Pope Gregory the 13th ordered one more change. He dropped three leap days for every 400 years. The resulting calendar is so accurate that it'll take several thousand years for it to drift even one day away from the true seasons.

I'm trying to get some clicks from Google Adwords. I'm quite new to it, what's the reasonable CPC?
I noticed that my ads are not showing and I think it's about my CPC budget. To me over $2 CPC is crazy but seems like that's the price for the keywords I'm aiming to.
What do you think? Our software price tag is about $1000 so in theory I need to get at 1 sale out of 500 clicks which is not that realistic.

Today's upload is filling a request and it's one I'm very happy to do. This limited edition disc pairing Double Face and The Devil's Nightmare is one of my very favorites. Both scores, especially DN, forgo the usual groovy sound shared here and are much more dark and eerie. From the first time I watched The Devil's Nightmare many years ago I was struck by the soundtrack. It still gives me the creeps when I listen to it!

I am deeply thankful for your interest in my request. I pulled this score out from left field and you handled it quickly, and impressively!

I'm sorry change subject. I've searched for Quincy Jones' "The Getaway" soundtrack (Peckinpah's 1972 movie) for a long time. Have you ever found it?
Thanks a lot.

Lyhue, it was no problem. I'll tackle your other request soon. I feel the same way as you about The Devil's Nightmare. I've always thought it was the perfect example of a "euro-cult" film. You have the creepy castle, spooky music, eerie atmosphere, beautiful women, brutal murders - everything that makes the genre great.
PSL, I'm sorry to say I've never come across The Getaway soundtrack either. The only CD release I know of is the Jerry Fielding rejected score. - June 30, 2010 at 1:19 PM

Sounds like you are on the bandwagon now.
Depends on who won it. If it is another wealthy financier then yes, I will definitely believe that something is not Kosher.
After finding out Bernie Madoff was able to "manage" $60 billion for decades without ever making a single trade in the stock market, I no longer believe that anything is impossible from these guys.
More "conspiracy theories", here we go again!
Mega Millions is on its sixth draw in the current run. The draw number for Powerball that just produced the $334.9 million winner was draw number 14. For me, with my system of playing, since Mega Millions was last won on draw #8, I will play Mega Millions every draw until it is won starting with next Tuesday's jackpot (Feb 21), if Mega Millions is not won on this upcoming Tuesday or Friday. However, I am playing Mega Millions this Tuesday, because today (Saturday) is the 11TH, and the Mega Millions advertised jackpot is $51 million, and 11 and 51 both end in 1, so I am playing. Just the same, I will play Mega Millions next Friday if the advertised jackpot ends in 5-, 6-, or 7- million (ex, the jackpot rolls to $65 million), since next Wednesday is the 15th, Thursday is the 16th, Friday is the 17th. However, with Powerball, things are different, since tickets cost $2, so, assuming the PB jackpot continues to roll, the CURRENT draw date where I will even CONSIDER playing Powerball is March 31st (the fourteenth draw in the new run if the run is not aborted by another jackpot win), and, in THEORY, I would only purchase a ticket for that draw if the advertised jackpot ended in 9-, 0-, or 1- million (Thursday the 29th, Friday the 30th, Saturday the 31st). Of course, in reality, with Powerball's increased ticket price and minimum rollovers, the CASH jackpot will probably reach $240 million (the current US record, held by Mega Millions) before March 31st if it is not won before then, in which case, I would automatically purchase a ticket for the draw. The "relative jackpot win" and "draw date ones digit - advertised jackpot single millions digit" rule is my way of controlling purchases for both jackpot games. With Mega Millions (and for Powerball under its former $1 game), it's "relative jackpot win" OR "draw date ones digit," but with Powerball, it's now ("relative jackpot win" AND "draw date ones digit") OR "record cash jackpot."
when JP morgan audit the draws; and jamie dimon wins them, ill start to worry
aug " I WON THE LOTTO , SUBMIT YOUR BEGGING REQUESTS HERE " 1900 BEG4BUKZ
2013 YTD loss[1032] wins = 585 2012 total spend =[2486.10], wins = 2176.70 ; year total = -$309.40
how long did it take mm to get to $51mil?
5 Rollovers to get there.
so your only playing when it goes over $100mil?
Not necessarily. If someone wins Powerball on Wednesday at its starting jackpot, I would CONSIDER playing Powerball on every draw in the run starting next Saturday (but obviously not next Saturday itself, since the jackpot would still be $40 million, and Thursday is the 16th, Friday is the 17th, Saturday is the 18th, and none of those dates end in 0), until that run produces another jackpot winner. However, say Mega Millions is won in back-to-back draws, I would automatically play Mega Millions in every draw after the $12 million jackpot win, until the run after that is over.
Welcome to LP DisplacedLurker.
Yeah its a higher density, but anyone who play's still has just a good a chance of winning.
So when are you going to start playing?
^this and you only need 1 ticket
My 'high-end, system' form of strategy is to spend a couple bucks on every draw just so I'm in the game. PB, MM, Ohio Classic, Ohio Rolling Cash when it's up there--$100,000-plus. I splurged on this recent PB with 5 tickets, three with PP, only because it was so high.
Was hoping for 400 mil-plus draw next time but it'll get there soon enough.
Thanks for the warm welcome, mcginnin56!
Oooh, yes, anybody has an equal chance of winning, of course. Afterall, it really only does take one ticket. I didn't mean to shoot down any dreams, ha ha. I just figured that since there is a higher population density in the east, there would be obviously more ticket sales, and thus, more people overall who could have scored the winning ticket versus someone else in the nation. Doesn't mean they necessarily have a better chance at winning over someone else so much as does explain why there have been some recent jackpots won in the east. That's all I meant, ha ha.
Besides, we don't need to be divulging into possible conspiracy theories. The news is hardly out, and we don't know this particular person's story. Whose to say who this person is compared to the other people who have won recent jackpots? And, regardless of who it was, I'm happy for them. I wish them nothing but luck with their new found fortune.
Oh, I don't know, I kind of want to be that lucky SOB who plays the PB once and scores the jackpot, lol. But in all seriousness, whenever I can round up a nice little lottery fund to safely bet with within my budget and feel comfortable with the process, I'll start playing.
sorry but i doubt i won
Hear stories all the time about newbie luck, hope your one of them. Congratulation's on your now 2nd post!

Violence in Syria surges as showdown looms at UN Security Council [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
Local Coordination Committees said 21 people were killed in Syria today, including a child and four soldiers who were executed by security forces in Idlib. The Syrian Coordination Committees reported that the regime's forces managed to enter the town of Rastan and that the military operation was characterized by seesaw battles. Meanwhile, other groups announced their defection from the regime's army. A group of scholars announced that they would stand by the people's side. In turn, Syria's state media continued to air the 10th Forum of Syrian Clans and Tribes in the Raqqa region showing support for President Assad.
Reporter, Male #2
These tanks are shelling houses and residential neighborhoods in the town of Rastan.
Guest, Male #3
God is great! God is great! As you hear, it is artillery shelling pounding the city of Rastan.
Reporter, Male #2
This group of military vehicles is relentlessly and indiscriminately opening heavy fire on residential neighborhoods. The authenticity of these images cannot be verified, but they show how far deep into Syrian neighborhoods these military vehicles have pushed, as Syrian activists say. Also in Rastan, more soldiers defected from the regime's army. In the surroundings of the Syrian capital, clashes continued. In a phone call with the BBC, the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights described the clashes as seesaw battles. He unveiled that three officers in the intelligence and security agencies were captured at dawn on Tuesday.
Guest, Male #3 (Rami Abdul Rahman, Director of Syrian Observatory for Human Rights)
Today, sounds of explosions were heard in a number of eastern regions, which I believe still continue. However, the operation in the countryside of Damascus seems to be a seesaw battle now. The Syrian authorities are dispatching their media networks accompanied by security forces to one of the checkpoints. Groups of defecting soldiers captured three officers, including an officer in the political security agency.
Reporter, Male #2
The Syrian National Council called for a general strike and for putting an end to the killings. Activists uploaded images online of protests in a number of areas.
Syrian state media continued to report about whom it describes as terrorists.
Guest, Female #1 (Syrian State TV)
In a quality operation in the regions of Duma, Harasta, Saqaba, Hamuriya and Kafr Batna in the countryside of Damascus, armed members of terrorist groups were captured. They committed the most ferocious crimes against citizens, including killing, kidnapping, and planting landmines.
Reporter, Male #2
The Syrian media showed images of large gatherings, which it said was the 10th Forum of Syrian Clans and Tribes in the Raqqa region. Preachers gathered at the forum to show support for President Assad's reforms and policies. In Idlib, a group of scholars who call themselves "the Commission for the Free Scholars" announced they would stand behind the people against the regime.
Guest, Male #4
We declare in all honesty and clarity to stand by our just Syrian people and their rightful demands to gain freedom.
Guest, Male #5
They were striking the area with mortar shells. They opened fire on us using all possible means. Thank God, we have been fending them off with the help of God Almighty. We protected the demonstration. The demonstration was peaceful and we came to protect the residents of the neighborhood and their peaceful demonstration.
Reporter, Male #2
Here in the Bab Sibaa neighborhood, demonstrations are protected by soldiers said to be from the Syrian Free Army. This scene indicates a strong presence of armed military defectors and of the Syrian army. If this does not indicate a civil war, then what does? Essam Abdullah, BBC.
Presenter, Male #1
Meanwhile, the UN Security Council is convening a special session on the situation in Syria amid speculations that a unified position will be difficult to reach due to Moscow's refusal to discuss the Arab-backed draft resolution and the demand that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad relinquish power. Meanwhile, Washington and its European allies are trying to adopt a resolution to end the violence in Syria and pave the way for a democratic transition of power.
US drones patrolling Iraqi skies provoke outrage [Press TV, Iran]
Iraq says the US must obtain permission from Baghdad to operate surveillance drones over US facilities in the country. Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh made the comments a day after US President Barack Obama said US drones are being used to protect the US embassy in Baghdad. Ali al-Dabbagh says the US embassy needs to get the go-ahead from the Iraqi government for any sort of surveillance operations.
Yemen's information minister escapes assassination attempt in Sanaa [Press TV, Iran]
Yemen's Information Minister Ali al-Amrani has escaped an assassination attempt in the capital Sana'a. Amarani was leaving a weekly cabinet meeting when unknown assailants opened fire on his car and fled. No further details are available. Meanwhile, popular protests continue for the trial of Ali Abdullah Saleh and his aides. They blame him for the killing of nearly 2,000 people during anti-regime rallies since early last year. Protests for his trial have escalated after Saleh was granted immunity from prosecution. This, under an Arab initiated power-transfer deal. Saleh is in the US now for what he says is medical treatment.
Egypt's PM addresses parliament for first time [Press TV, Iran]
Egypt's prime minister has addressed the country's new parliament for the first time. He's urged the people to help bring the government stability to the nation. Ganzouri also stressed the government's commitment to paying financial compensation to the families of those killed as well as those injured during the January revolution. The PM was appointed by the ruling junta last November after mass protests demonstrations demanding an end to military rule. Meanwhile, thousands have held a fresh rally at Cairo's Liberation Square calling for the transfer of power to a civilian government. The junta is scheduled to relinquish power after the presidential election due in June.
Bahrainis plan 'Great Return' to Manama's Pearl Roundabout [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Male #1
In the town of Barbar in Shamaliyah or Northern Province, citizens organized a massive festival under the slogan "the Great Return to Pearl Roundabout." The February 14 Youth Movement launched the festival with the slogan "Return to the Martyrs Square," affirming a return en masse to the square in downtown Manama, Bahrain's capital, from February 12 to 15. This slogan was announced amid the masses' chants calling for unity among all opposition groups. Amnesty International demanded that Bahraini authorities release detainees, stating that nearly 3,000 people have been arrested during the protest movement and that 700 are still behind bars. The organization demanded that an independent investigation be launched into the torture cases of certain detainees, including prominent activist Fadhila Mubarak who was tried in a military court.
Reporter, Male #2
With one march after another, the popular movement continues in Bahrain, affirming legitimate demands that the regime does not hesitate to reject. Nor does it hesitate to repress the peaceful protestors. The authorities are accused of terrorizing the protestors taking to the streets in the cities and countryside of the kingdom by using poisonous gas and shotguns. At the same time, political dissidents were arrested and tried in military courts. This was verified in the statement by a defense lawyer for the prominent opposition figures detained by Bahraini authorities in the capital Manama.
Guest, Female #1 (Jalilah al-Said, Defense Lawyer for Detained Opposition Members)
The government is refusing to stop the military trials. The civil trials ended on June 1, and the military trials began in October.
Reporter, Male #2
Lawyer Jalilah al-Said indicated that the Bahraini authorities are continuing to refer civilian cases to military courts, even though it announced that the trials would be halted under the state of emergency months ago. Also in this press conference, she highlighted cases in which security institutions followed political activists and arrested them in a blatant violation of international charters and laws that protect freedom of speech.
Guest, Female #1
Unfortunately, they are politicians and leaders. Therefore, this regime does not acknowledge democracy, nor does it allow citizens to participate in political life, nor does it accept a difference of opinions. Naturally, the dissidents become its targets.
Reporter, Male #2
These statements condemning the Bahraini regime for continuing to violate human rights and freedom of speech coincided with Islamist party al-Wefaq's confirmation that detainees in Jaw Prison were subjected to suppression by security institutions. The security institutions attacked the detainees using poisonous gas, leading to cases of suffocation and pandemonium among the detainees. The party considered this act to be collective punishment for the hunger strike by prominent opposition figures and leaders in prison in protest of the harsh verdicts issued against them, in addition to the human rights violations by members of the Saudi-backed regime.
PLO: Israel to blame for failure of exploratory talks [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Female #1
Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas held the Israeli government fully responsible for the failure of the Amman talks, and once again referred the problem to the Arab League and Western nations. This news comes during the PLO Executive Committee's meeting last night to evaluate the recent exploratory talks and explore new options in light of Israel's determination to pursue settlement activities and its rejection of the two-state solution. Our correspondent Mohamed al-Sayyed reports from Ramallah.
Reporter, Male #1
The exploratory meetings between the Israeli and Palestinian sides have reached a deadlock, and as usual, Israel was the obstructing side, as cited by the PLO Executive Committee following weeks of negotiations in Amman. The Executive Committee has redirected its efforts at the Palestinian internal front, starting with the launch of presidential and legislative elections and ending with the mobilization of national reconciliation efforts.
Guest, Male #2 (Mahmud Abbas, Palestinian President)
Elections will be held on February 4 and 5. This requires us to speed up the preparatory process to hold these elections. God wiling, we will head to the polls at the legislative, presidential, and national council.
Reporter, Male #1
Israel is held fully responsible for the failure of talks because of the Israeli authority's determination to pursue settlement activities and its rejection to the two-state solution, as echoed by the recent Israeli offer aimed at turning the state of Palestine into isolated regions.
Guest, Male #3 (Yasser Abed Rabbo, Secretary-General of PLO Executive Committee)
The Palestinian leadership holds Israel fully responsible for the failure of talks. These meetings exposed Israel's determination to pursue settlement activities and its rejection of the two-state solution based on the 1967 boundaries.
Reporter, Male #1
In light of this new reality on the ground, the Palestinian leadership has no choice but to reengage in consultations with the Arabs via the Arab Follow-Up Committee set to meet next week as part of a political campaign launched in the international arena. After the failure of the Amman meetings, the Palestinians are returning to the Arab Follow-Up Committee and the international community, especially since the talks were held amid a relentless settlement campaign. In addition, the meetings affected the progress of reconciliation efforts aimed at holding elections and ending the division. Mohamed al-Sayyed, Dubai TV, Ramallah.
Ban Ki-moon urges resolution on Syria as fighting continues near Damascus [IBA, Israel]
At the start of the Middle East peace mission, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today held talks in Amman with Jordan's King Abdullah. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Ban focused his remarks on Syria, expressing support for a Security Council resolution demanding that President Bashar al-Assad be removed from office. Bitter fighting continued outside Damascus today as forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad battled to regain the suburbs from rebel troops. Syrian state television today broadcast images of what are purported to be American and Israeli weapons discovered during raids on the eastern districts of the capital, as well as tunnels that the Assad regime maintains were used to transport those arms.
Canadian FM urges direct peace talks with Israel in meetings with Abbas [IBA, Israel]
Currently amid his three-day visit to the region, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird attended meetings in Ramallah with Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas, Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki, and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. Topping the agenda were the stalled Middle East peace process, regional security, and economic cooperation. Baird reaffirmed Canada's support for direct talks between Israel and the Palestinians and sharply criticized unilateral moves taken by the PA at the United Nations
Enraged Kuwaiti tribesmen torch election candidate's tent over 'offensive remarks' [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Female #1
The headquarters of the Kuwaiti National Assembly's Third Constituency's candidate, Mohammad al-Juwaihal, was burned down and its contents vandalized after al-Juwaihal made insulting remarks to certain al-Mutair's candidates and tribesmen. Thousands of people stormed the electoral headquarters and set it ablaze. The emir of Kuwait met with several opposition candidates and former Members of Parliament and promised that the law would be enforces after a request was made to revoke al-Juwaihal's candidacy bid and hold him accountable.
Reporter, Male #1
The first spark was ignited from these headquarters. Mohamed al-Juwaihal, a candidate running in the Third Constituency, criticized the tribesmen of al-Mutair Tribe and insulted several candidates of the Fourth Constituency, as cited by his opponents. Law professor Abaid al-Wasmi, a candidate running in the Fourth Constituency, warned the government against failing to enforce the law.
Guest, Male #2
I would like to tell them and all the traitors, mercenaries, sore losers, and corrupt who seek to harm the country, not to get carried away. I swear to God the law will be applied, because if it's not applied, we will apply it as we wish.
Reporter, Male #1
The emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad, met with twelve candidates, former Members of Parliament, and several al-Mutair tribal Sheikhs, who demanded he revoke al-Juwaihal's candidacy bid and hold him accountable for his comments. The incident and its expected effects on the social fabric of Kuwaiti society have raised concerns among the public.
Guest, Male #3
What happened yesterday caused concern among many people and the general Kuwaiti public, regardless of their affiliation or whether they are a civil or tribal community. No one is condoning what happened because neither torching the headquarters nor attacking the candidates or their tribes is the solution. We must resort to reason and join efforts to diffuse the tension.
Reporter, Male #1
All Kuwaiti sects and political blocs condemned the incident, as everyone is urged to use reasonable judgment to prevent fire from spreading to other areas. After several tribesmen were insulted, a fire engulfed these election headquarters, turning them into ashes. Kuwaitis are now asking: "is the democracy they are proud of at stake?" Sami al-Saidi, al-Jazeera, Kuwait.
A look back at the Armenian Genocide [Al-Iraqiya TV, Iraq]
Presenter, Female #1
The Armenian Genocide carried out by the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century killed 1.5 million people.
Presenter, Male #1
The genocide that Sultan Abdul-Hamid was accused of starting is considered one of the largest massacres committed in human history.
Reporter, Female #2
The Armenian Genocide, or the Armenian Massacres, is considered one of the first genocides in modern history and the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust. The Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian Holocaust or the Great Crime, refers to the deliberate and systematic annihilation of the Armenian population by the Ottoman Empire during and shortly after World War I. It was implemented through group massacres and forced deportations under conditions designed to lead to the deaths of the deportees. The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally believed to have been between one and 1.5 million people. The Ottoman rulers rounded up hundreds of the most prominent Armenians in Istanbul and executed them in the city square. According to scholars, the Ottoman Empire also adopted the same policy of extermination against other sects when it attacked Syriacs, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Greeks, and others. There are a number of memorial sites that commemorate the victims of the massacre. Every year, April 24 is considered the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, the same day that commemorates the Massacres of Assyrians. On this day in 1915, over 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders were arrested in Istanbul. Thereafter, the Ottoman army uprooted Armenians from their homes and coerced them to march hundreds of miles into the desert of what is now Syria, depriving them of water and food. The 1915 massacres were indiscriminately carried out against Armenians of all ages and genders, and a number of women were assaulted. The Republic of Turkey, the successor state of the Ottoman Empire, denies that the word "genocide" is an accurate description of the events, even though this is the term used by the United Nations. In recent years, repeated calls have been sent to Turkey to accept the events as genocide. To date, twenty countries have officially recognized the massacres of the Armenians as genocide. Sultan Abdul Hamid II is accused of being the first one to implement the massacres against Armenians and other Christians who lived under the Ottoman Empire's rule. Since the 11th century, Armenians have lived under the shadow of a Turkish emirate granted by the Ottoman Empire. Sahar al-Ibrahimi, al-Iraqiya.

Keane staying at Leeds
Related Articles
Published: 30 July 2002
Keane turned down a £9million move to Sunderland on his return from the World Cup and says he is keen to prove himself to new Leeds manager Terry Venables after Tottenham expressed an interest in signing him last week.
"The interest is always flattering, but I'm happy at Leeds," he said. "I've said 'no' to Sunderland so, as far as I'm concerned, that's over now.
"Everyone knows that the club needed money. Maybe that situation has changed now Rio (Ferdinand) has gone, maybe it hasn't.
"I just want to stay, and that's no snub to Peter Reid whom I respect as a great manager."
Keane, who was unhappy at being left on the bench by previous boss David O'Leary last season, also revealed he has spoken to Venables on the club's tour of the Far East and Australia but "the chat wasn't about me saying I wanted to play".

URGENT - NSA Snowden
POSTED: 06:02 PM MDT Jul 18, 2013
(CNN) -- The United States has concrete proof that terrorists are making changes and taking actions that are going to "make our job harder" as a result of the disclosure of the previously secret government surveillance programs by Edward Snowden, NSA Director Keith Alexander said Thursday. Alexander defended the programs, saying the reason for the secrecy was not to hide the programs from the American public, but to hide them from "those who walk among you" who seek to launch terrorist attacks.
