Shire Rejects $46B AbbVie Offer
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- The M&A feeding frenzy in the healthcare sector continued on Friday as Ireland's Shire (SHPG) confirmed it had received and rejected a series of proposals from AbbVie (ABBV), culminating in an offer that valued its stock at £27.2 billion ($46.6 billion).
The announcement came after Pfizer (PFE) late last month abandoned a £69.4 billion indicative offer for AstraZeneca (AZN) and followed speculation that hostile bid target Allergan Inc. was plotting a defensive takeover of Shire as a means to fend off Valeant Pharmaceuticals International and its $54 billion offer. Elsewhere devices maker Medtronic (MDT) on Monday unveiled a $42.9 billion offer for Ireland's Covidien (COV), while Stryker (SYK) last month admitted it had been weighing a bid for hip replacement specialist Smith & Nephew (SNN).
Shire said North Chicago-based Abbvie's latest, May 30 proposal valued its stock at 4,611 pence, based on AbbVie's weighted 30-day average share price. It broke down into 2,044 pence in cash and 0.7988 of an AbbVie share.
Like Pfizer, AbbVie wants to redomicile for tax purposes to the U.K. Shire said it had decided that the move carried "execution risks," while the offer itself, which it said was 23% more than Shire's Thursday closing price, was too low.Shire's remit is to focus on specialist medical conditions--those that wouldn't be treated by a general practitioner--in areas of "significant unmet medical need." In January it closed a $4.2 billion takeover offer for ViroPharma (VPHM), of Exton, Pa., to gain drugs focused on treating and preventing hereditary angioedema, which causes spontaneous swelling of the skin and mucous membranes. And last month it arranged to pay $260 million upfront to buy San Diego-based Lumena Pharmaceuticals, which has two compounds in development to treat liver diseases in adults and children.

Spring brings such beautiful days with it here in Michigan. Praying for all the southern states as they deal with the devastation for the storms they have gone through. Reach out to someone today and give them some support if not financially - prayfully!
Oh, what energy spring brings with it. We have had a couple beautiful days and spring rain over night. I love new life that comes with the season. The dandelion bouquets my little granddaughters pick and think they've given me the greatest gift of all. Little do they know the really did.
Today will be set aside for flower gardens. Can't wait to get out and plant my impatients.
Praise God that we can celebrate our Risen Lord! Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins and rising again that we may have eternal life!
Be a blessing to someone else today! If doesn't take much to compliment someone or just even smile and say "Hi". Someone may be having a really bad day and a little kindness from you just might lift their spirits enough to motivate them to see things in a more positive light. That's my goal today, I'm going to try to be a blessing to someone!
At the beginning of Spring my husband (especially) an myself are busy producing Maple Syrup. We tap the trees in late Feb. to early March. The season runs anywhere form 2 to 5 weeks. It all depends on the weather. It needs to freeze at night and be in the 40's during the day to make the sap run. This year was a great year for us. It takes 40-50 gallons of raw sap to make a gallon of syrup. We ended up with 68 finished gallons. That's a lot of sap to boil into syrup!
It always proves to be a great time for the family and friends.

Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala Remembers, and Celebrates, Alexander McQueen
Last night's annual Costume Institute Gala, thrown by Vogue and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrated the opening of Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, an exhibition of the life's work of a designer whose influence, even in death, is impossible to overstate. Fashion fixtures such as Salma Hayek, Daphne Guinness, Naomi Campell, Karen Elson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Vogue's Hamish Bowles, and Anna Dello Russo all wore McQueen to yesterday's gala. Sir Paul McCartney and Marc Jacobs wore a plaid suit and skirt, respectively. McQueen designer Sarah Burton, who created Kate Middleton's impeccable, instantly iconic wedding gown, was also in attendance.
For more on a lovely, highly personal tribute to the late designer and photos of the evening, please see Style.com's and Vogue.com's extensive coverage.

Once upon a time, long long ago, I started a Blog.
And one of the first blogs I read and one that inspired me, was Vodka Mom.
Since then I feel like I know her, as in she is my friend.
We have not met and I have no idea how she feels about that but you can't read her blog and not feel that she is some sort of kindred spirit.
So Vodka Mom is my Monday Look at this Blog .. for all the best of reasons.

- My husband and I , with our dog, Tate, moved to Buenos Aires, 8 years ago. Life has never been the same since ~ Back in the USA ... life is still not the same !
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new.
But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

The Choice of hardcore riders and seriously messed-up bands everywhere.
The Gnu Rider's Choice Snowboard was designed by team riders Kyle Clancy, Zach Leach, and Hampus Mosseson. The resulting board will make you step your riding up. The graphics on this killer ride were inspired by Kyle's role as a guitarist in the band Retard Riot and follow the "Impossible Instruments" theme. Besides looking cool, this cliff-hucking board also has a Sintered 9900 base and aspen wood core for a smooth, fast ride. If you're ripping hard, and want to rip harder, you should be riding this board. *Comes in assorted colors.

NEW YORK, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Imperial Sugar Company ("Imperial Sugar" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: IPSU) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Imperial Sugar to Louis Dreyfus Commodities LLC.

this beanie is pretty good. awesome material feel and small fit, which is good for warmer weather so u can wear it on the back of your head like an elf.
just ok
This hat looks good and is warm. The problems I had were that it stretched out after minimal use and it is also kind of small. With it folded up about an inch it barly covers my ears. I dont have a very big head. People with small heads will love it. Big heads stay away.

The show started about 15 minutes late. This seems to be a regular thing with L.A. theatre. It seems as if the inconsiderate late arrivers get better treatment than the majority of people who manage to arrive on time. I say start the show PROMPTLY at the time indicated on the ticket and seat the late comers in the back of the theatre if they arrive after curtain time. As for the show, it was enjoyable. A lot of rough spots. I think they should have kept it as it was originally written. The "updates" just didn't seem to work and didn't really add ANYTHING. If the update is set in the 1980's then why were there references by Applegate to Britney Spears, Dr. Laura and Paris Hilton?

Not up to Reprise's usual standards. Most of the attempts to modernize and/or change the play fell flat. This is a classic and they should have left a wonderful period piece alone. That being said, the second act was better than the first. ...continued
A middle-aged man finds himself endlessly frustrated that his beloved L.A. Dodgers are constantly thwarted by those…well, damn Yankees. In desperation, he makes a deal with the Devil to sell his soul in exchange for becoming a youthful baseball star, who is quickly adopted by the Dodgers. Though his dreams of success and fame get closer every day, he finds himself yearning more and more for the woman he left behind. The Devil tries to soothe that yearning by conjuring Lola, an irresistible temptress. If she can succeed, the Devil will claim another soul. But in the battle of fantasies versus true love, one can never be sure who or what will emerge victorious.
The authors of this classic musical have given Reprise! permission to update and adapt the story. This is Damn Yankees like you've never seen it before.

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc, Europe's second-largest oil company, plans to raise 2.5 billion euros ($3.3 billion) from its first bond sale in the currency in nine months, according to a banker involved in the transaction.
BP will price its 1.25 billion euros of 2016 bonds to yield 78 basis points more than the benchmark swap rate, which compares with the 72 basis-point spread on its existing notes maturing in June of the same year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The London-based company is selling its 2019 notes at 103 basis points over swaps, compared with the spread of 101 on its outstanding June 2020 bonds.
Sheila Williams, a spokeswoman for BP in London, said the sale's proceeds would be used for general corporate purposes, without being specific or commenting on the deal terms.
BP is returning to the euro bond market for the first time since May 26, when it raised 1.5 billion euros, Bloomberg data show. BNP Paribas SA, Deutsche Bank AG, Lloyds Banking Group Plc, Banco Santander SA and Societe Generale SA are managing the new deal, said the banker involved, who declined to be identified because the terms are private.

Monsanto Co. (MON:US), the world's biggest seed company, received clearance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to begin selling a genetically modified soybean that the company says produces healthier cooking oil.
The seed was deregulated because it's unlikely to pose a plant-pest risk, the USDA said today on its website. The oilseed contains 20 percent to 30 percent stearidonic acid, an alternate source of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and leafy vegetables, according to the agency's assessment.

Harm Reduction and HIV Prevention
Introduction to harm reduction
Harm reduction programmes aim to reduce the negative consequences of drug use, by reducing the harm self-inflicted by the user through unsafe practices and the subsequent harm inflicted upon society. 1 The provision of other harm reduction measures, just like with needle exchanges, is generally poor, and opposition to them is impairing the fight against HIV.
Like needle exchanges, other harm reduction measures exist to minimise the harmful consequences associated with drug use. The provision of these programmes is often hindered by laws which prohibit carrying drug paraphernalia and the fear of discrimination brought by the association with such programmes. 2
Maintenance therapy / opioid substitution treatment
Maintenance therapy, or opioid substitution treatment, involves the provision of drugs such as methadone or buprenorphine, in pill or liquid form, to drug users as a way of minimising risks associated with injecting. These programmes aim to curb needle sharing, the use of contaminated street drugs, overdoses, and crimes associated with funding drug addiction. Methadone or buprenorphine substitution therapy exists in over 77 countries worldwide. 3
Drug substitution treatment has proven effective in rehabilitating and stabilising people who inject drugs (PWID), and in reducing HIV infection rates. 4 5
USA researchers from the University of Philadelphia monitored 152 injecting users receiving methadone maintenance treatment and 103 injecting users on no treatment over a period of 18 months, all of whom were HIV negative at the beginning of the study. The results showed that over the 18 months, only 3.5 percent of those receiving methadone became infected with HIV, in contrast to 22 percent not on treatment. 6
A report by WHO in March 2005 reviewed many global studies and concluded that substitution treatment is a 'critical component' of HIV prevention policy, significantly reducing opioid dependency and HIV infection rates. 7 In addition, studies have also found a decline in crime rates and commercial sex work when PWID no longer have to find ways to fund their expensive addictions. 8 9
Several studies have shown that prescribing injectable opiates – including heroin – can help heroin addicts who have failed on traditional maintenance therapy. The Randomised Injectable Opioid Treatment Trial (RIOTT), which took place in three UK cities, targeted the 5 percent of addicts who were not benefiting from existing treatments and were continuing to inject street heroin despite receiving oral methadone. Individuals in all three groups – those receiving injectable heroin, injectable methadone, or oral methadone – decreased their consumption of street heroin, with the biggest decrease among those receiving injectable heroin. Programmes such as these would be beneficial for HIV prevention among 'problem' drug users as reducing their use of street heroin also reduces the likelihood of using contaminated needles. This was in addition to a substantial reduction in crime. 10
The risk of HIV infection through the use of methamphetamine ('crystal meth') is high, yet substitution treatment for meth addiction does not currently exist. As well as the HIV risk associated with injecting meth, one effect of the drug is a high sex drive, which can lead to an increase in sexual partners and riskier sexual behaviour. In the United States of America the use of meth by men who have sex with men (MSM) is 20 times higher than in the general population and is believed to be a major cause of new HIV infections among MSM. 11 If substitution treatment was made available to meth users the risks associated with this drug could be substantially reduced. 12
Some differences between the results of methadone and buprenorphine treatment have been highlighted. One study (2014) has found that more people adhered to, and completed their course of methadone (74 percent of participants), compared to those on buprenorphine (46 percent). Males on methadone also had lowered sexual-risk behaviour by the end of the study, whereas men on buprenorphine had elevated sexual-risk behaviours. 13 However, a healthcare professional will decide which substitution medicine is best based on a number of factors such as which drug was being injected, the length of the injecting period and what withdrawal symptoms a person experiences. 14
Despite evidence of the effectiveness and need for opioid substitution therapy, 81 countries and territories which report injecting drug use do not have opioid substitution therapy in place. 15
Safer injection facilities (SIFs)
These provide an environment where drug users can inject in a safer manner and under medical supervision. Like needle exchange programmes they may offer drug education and referral for treatment. They also aim to reduce public disorder issues and risks associated with injecting drug use such as large congregations of injectors in public places and litter, particularly syringes. Such facilities exist in only eight countries including Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Australia and Canada. 16
After Frankfurt introduced SIFs in the early 1990s, cases of HIV among PWID declined, as did overdose cases in the city which dropped dramatically from 147 in 1991 to 22 in 1997. 17 18 This decline can be attributed to the city's overall harm reduction approach, though overdose cases dropped steeply in the year following the introduction of SIFs. 19 Furthermore, PWID who overdose in safer injection facilities are 10 times less likely to require hospitalisation. 20 Research of Vancouver's Insite, North America's first SIF, found that there was no association between the facility and the rate of drug trafficking or other crimes linked to drug use. 21 22
The Insite facility had faced pressure by Canada's Conservative government, and was threatened with closure under drug trafficking and possession laws. However, a 2008 ruling allowed it to remain open. 23 In the judge's opinion, Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act violated individuals' constitutional rights:
"It denies the addict access to a health care facility where the risk of morbidity associated with infectious disease is diminished, if not eliminated… While there is nothing to be said in favour of the injection of controlled substances that leads to addiction, there is much to be said against denying addicts health care services that will ameliorate the effects of their condition." 24
However, in 2013, new legislation again threatened Insite and other proposed new SIFs in the country. 25 This is despite a 2012 report (from the Centre for Research on Inner City Health in Toronto), concluding that Toronto could hugely benefit from the creation of three safer injection facilities. This was based on the reported health benefits of Insite in Vancouver:
- Between 1996 and 2011 hepatitis C and HIV transmission in Vancouver declined rapidly.
- Methadone maintenance therapy amongst drug users has increased by 41.6 percent since it opened. 26
- In the two year period following the opening of Insite, the fatal overdose rate declined by 35 percent in the surrounding area. 27
In spite of this, the views of the Canadian Conservative government and those of public health researchers continue to clash over the issue. 28
Safer crack smoking resources
Like needle exchange programmes they distribute clean crack-smoking implements in order to curb the risks associated with sharing of equipment.
These have not been implemented on as wide a scale as needle exchange programmes but have shown to be effective in cutting behaviours associated with HIV transmission. An Ottowan needle exchange that also began providing sterile crack-smoking equipment, such as glass stems and rubber mouthpieces, found the proportion of participants sharing implements every time decreased from 37 percent six months prior to implementation, to 12 percent 6 months after. 29
Pharmacy sale of syringes
Non-prescription over-the-counter sale of syringes is another way to allow drug users access to sterile needles. In the US, some states have amended drug paraphernalia laws to exclude syringes. Pharmacies that provide clean injecting equipment may also offer similar secondary services as needle exchanges such as providing information and referrals. In Australia, pharmacy-based needle and syringe programmes account for 15% of all syringes used for injecting drugs. 30
An examination of the 96 largest metropolitan areas in the United States of America found both the proportion of PWID living with, and becoming infected with, HIV, was lower in the 60 areas that permitted the purchase of syringes without prescription compared to the 36 metropolitan areas that did not allow this. 31
Supplying tin foil to deter injecting
One method of helping habitual drug users avoid the harms of injecting is supplying tin foil to encourage smoking of drugs instead. Heroin can be boiled on a piece of foil and then its vapours inhaled. Some countries such as Holland and Spain supply foil through their needle exchanges. In England, however, it is illegal to do so, though it is believed that around 100 of the known 1300 needle exchanges break the law and supply foil. 32 An Early Day Motion in the British Parliament aims to overturn section 9A of the Misuse of Drugs Act which restricts the supply of tin foil. 33 34
Again, while no one would claim that smoking heroin is a healthy activity, for people who are addicted to the drug and normally inject, smoking can be a preferable option:
"Smoking drugs is by no means safe, but is a great deal safer than injecting drugs – which is particularly associated with overdose, blood-borne viruses, drug-related litter, greater dependency, abscesses and vein damage." - Jamie Bridge, International Harm Reduction Association 35
Safe needle disposal
Various disposal methods exist so contaminated needles are unable to injure another person. These include, drop-off points located in buildings such as police departments, clinics, community organisations or medical waste facilities; mail-back programmes where used needles are sent in a special container to a collection site; residential pick-up services; and in-home disposal services that safely destroy the needle. 36 Programmes that offer safer syringe disposal may well be part of a general needle exchange service.
Community-based outreach programmesThese work with people who inject drugs to distribute clean equipment, promote condom use and provide information about prevention and rehabilitation. Injecting communities are often secretive and distrustful of authorities. Outreach programmes focus on accessing these hidden groups, opening an important route to providing support. In some cases, former PWID are recruited and trained as peer-outreach workers. Some PWID are likely to be involved in sex work to fund their expensive addiction, so provision of sexual health information and condom promotion play key roles in preventing HIV transmission through other routes. Involving communities in the development of harm reduction programmes can help to ensure that policies around harm reduction are suitable for local context and meet the needs of PWID. 37
A report from the WHO reviewed data from over 40 studies on outreach prevention methods and concluded that these significantly reduce high-risk behaviour in PWID and are successful in directing them to rehabilitation services. 38
In 2006, UNAIDS published a report that reviewed several 'high coverage' prevention programmes (50 percent of local PWID population accessing more than one prevention initiative) in transitional and developing countries. The inclusion of harm reduction measures was one of the key factors in achieving high coverage. 39
A case study: Harm reduction in Russia
Given that the Russian AIDS epidemic is being driven by injecting drug use, harm reduction measures like needle exchanges and substitution therapy are crucial. However, HIV prevention for drug users is largely inaccessible with opioid substitution therapy being illegal and needle exchange coverage hugely inadequate. 40 It is estimated that in 2008 just 7 percent of Russian people who inject drugs were accessing needle exchanges. 41 This is reflected across the wider Eastern Europe and Central Asia region, which Russia dominates, and it is no coincidence that this is the only large part of the world where HIV prevalence is increasing.
Russia's leading figures in psychiatry and addiction have rejected opioid substitution as an effective way of dealing with the harms of drug use. In an official memorandum they wrote:
"The effective way to solve the problem of drug addiction treatment is an intensive search for and introduction of new methods and means that focus on complete cessation of drugs use by patients with addiction, their socialization into a new life style free from drugs, but not on exchanging from one drug to another." 42
In 2009, Global Fund prevention programmes were almost cut after the organisation, under its strict guidelines, deemed the country too wealthy to continue to receive funding. The Russian government chose not to step in, instead saying it would focus on broader health promotion. Given Russia's stance, the Global Fund felt it had no option but to extend funding for prevention efforts directed at vulnerable groups until 2011. 43 An editorial in The Lancet outlined the difficulties of providing prevention services for drug users and stressed the need for harm reduction initiatives in the country:
"In Russia, the opposition to harm reduction programmes has meant that needle exchange is mostly run by non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The government has repeatedly refused to allow methadone substitution to be offered to people who inject drug, despite many international calls to support this evidence-based intervention…We urge the Russian Government to continue to fund effective and science-driven harm reduction programmes, in addition to its general health promotion efforts." 44
Read more about drug use and HIV prevention in Russia.
The controversy of harm reduction
Harm reduction measures are supported and implemented by NGOs, health authorities, governments and multilateral organisations worldwide. However, such methods for dealing with the harms of drugs have been surrounded by controversy since the mid 1980s when needle exchanges and substitution treatments were first introduced in Western Europe. Drugs policy is often discussed in a very moralistic way, with many politicians adopting stances that do not take into account scientific evidence. Because of the impact of drug abuse on society, and perhaps the mind-altering nature of drugs, legislators want to show they are "tough on drugs", even if their policies contribute to the damage they claim to be against.
Some countries have strategies that involve forcing drug users to abstain or have treatment. Currently there are up to several hundred thousand people who use drugs who are detained in order to undergo treatment, of whom very few have access to maintenance therapy. 45 The WHO maintains that drug detention centres are not effective at preventing drug use and that they can undermine effective harm reduction programmes and increase HIV risk. 46
Advocates of needle exchanges and other harm reduction measures point to the evidence that such programmes reduce the incidence of HIV infection and do not encourage drug use. 47 Furthermore, they say having abstinence as the only goal worth pursuing is unrealistic, and as long as people continue to take drugs, they should be encouraged to do so in the least harmful way possible. It is argued that the benefits of harm reduction transcend beyond the drug user into society, not only by reducing death, crime and HIV infection but through supporting education. 48 49 This is recognised by the England and Wales National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence who state that "While NSPs (needle and syringe programmes) can help reduce the harm caused to people who inject drugs, the consequent reduction in the prevalence of blood-borne viruses benefits wider society". 50 Moreover, studies show that harm reduction measures can also result in financial savings, for example for every $1 spent on methadone treatment, at least $5 is saved through alleviating public spending in sectors such as healthcare or prisons. 51 52
"Harm reduction recognises that containment and reduction of drug-related harms is a more feasible option than efforts to eliminate drug use entirely… [it] does not focus on abstinence: although harm reduction supports those who seek to moderate or reduce their drug use, it neither excludes nor presumes a treatment goal of abstinence."UK Harm Reduction Alliance. 53
The arguments against harm reduction range from moderate to extreme. Some believe that needle exchange services are a waste of money and only promote injecting drug use, when the message should be abstinence from drugs. 54 Opioid substitution treatment is a difficult concept for many to accept; critics argue that this prolongs drug addiction or provides users with drugs to sell on the street to fund further drug use. Although outreach work is the most accepted form of harm reduction, some believe its activities, such as teaching safer injecting methods, is a waste of resources. There is also strong opposition to safe injection rooms and heroin prescription for problem PWID, often the most contentious forms of harm reduction.
In 2004, Republican Congressman, Mark Souder, then chairman of the US Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources, criticised harm reduction supporters:
"Advocates of this position hold that dangerous behaviors, such as drug abuse, should be accepted by society and those who choose such lifestyles - or become trapped in them - should be enabled to continue these behaviors in a less harmful manner." 55
In response the president of the International Harm Reduction Association summarised the debate over needle exchange programmes and other harm reduction measures as one which "divides participants into those who base their judgements on data from those who base their judgements on other considerations than data". 56
The controversy surrounding harm reduction exists at the highest levels of global decision making. Harm reduction is supported by many United Nations bodies including the General Assembly, UNAIDS, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and the World Health Organization. However, the 2009 Political Declaration of the UN Commission on Narcotics Drugs, which outlines international cooperation on drug strategy for the next ten years, does not refer to it at all. 57 This omission was encouraged by several states including the United States of America and Russia as well as Sweden, Italy and Japan. Even the Vatican weighed into the debate, criticising harm reduction, to which one group in favour responded:
"By making a statement against harm reduction, the Vatican has indicated that its moral objection to drug use is more important than its commitment to the sanctity of life." 58

Anointed successor wins MN Senate District 61 primary
September 30, 2011
By David Godow
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota:
Minnesota Senate District 61, a Democratic stronghold on the south side of Minneapolis, is in the midst of its first competitive election in 30 years. Senator Linda Berglin, who has held the seat since 1980 through several rounds of redistricting, announced her resignation at the end of July. A crowded field of six Democratic-Farmer-Labor (Minnesota's Democratic Party) challengers arose to replace her, along with one Republican and two third party candidates. Berglin herself, along with several local Dem leaders, picked State Rep. Jeff Hayden (D-61B) to replace her.
The September 14 DFL primary resulted in a predictable Hayden win, with the young state representative benefiting both from party endorsements and significant name recognition in the neighborhood. The full election results are below:
|Minnesota Senate District 61, 2011 Special Election - DFL Primary[1]
|Vote Percentage
|Democratic Party
|Jeff Hayden
|Democratic Party
|Sadik Warfa
|Democratic Party
|Paulette Will
|Democratic Party
|Elsa Batica
|Democratic Party
|Kristian Heuer
|Democratic Party
|Kyle Wilson
|Total Votes
Hayden now goes on to face Republican Bruce A. Lundee, Green Party candidate Farheen Hakeem, and Independence Party candidate Matt Brillhart in the October 18 special election.

The impending closure of a famous Midtown bookstore has politicians and activists calling for reforms to the city's landmarking process.
Supporters say the century old Rizzoli Building, which houses the Rizzoli Bookstore, deserves protection through landmark status, despite a rejection by the Landmark Preservation Commission. They say the commission's process is slow and lacks transparency.
"We're here today to ask that LPC immediately study those remaining buildings on West 57th street, particularly those on this block, to identify and landmark those that represent the best of their eras, so we don't have any more Rizzoli situations," said Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer.
"All the new construction that is moving here, they want to be to this neighborhood, they want these buildings here, and yet because of it, we are losing what makes New York, New York," said Simeon Bankoff, executive director of the Historic Districts Council.
Rizzoli Bookstore's last day in business is April 15.

|American Standard Version (ASV)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
|1 The word of the LORD came to me:
|2 Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
|2 "Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary. Prophesy against the land of Israel
|3 and say to the land of Israel, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
|3 and say to her: 'This is what the LORD says: I am against you. I will draw my sword from its scabbard and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
|4 Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
|4 Because I am going to cut off the righteous and the wicked, my sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.
|5 and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
|5 Then all people will know that I the LORD have drawn my sword from its scabbard; it will not return again.'
|6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man; with the breaking of thy loins and with bitterness shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
|6 "Therefore groan, son of man! Groan before them with broken heart and bitter grief.
|7 And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt say, Because of the tidings, for it cometh; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah.
|7 And when they ask you, 'Why are you groaning?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt and every hand go limp; every spirit will become faint and every knee become as weak as water.' It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign LORD."
|8 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
|8 The word of the LORD came to me:
|9 Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith Jehovah: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;
|9 "Son of man, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Lord says: " 'A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished--
|10 it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it contemneth every tree.
|10 sharpened for the slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! " 'Shall we rejoice in the scepter of my son [ Judah ]? The sword despises every such stick.
|11 And it is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yea, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
|11 " 'The sword is appointed to be polished, to be grasped with the hand; it is sharpened and polished, made ready for the hand of the slayer.
|12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; smite therefore upon thy thigh.
|12 Cry out and wail, son of man, for it is against my people; it is against all the princes of Israel. They are thrown to the sword along with my people. Therefore beat your breast.
|13 For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that contemneth shall be no more? saith the Lord Jehovah.
|13 " 'Testing will surely come. And what if the scepter [of Judah], which the sword despises, does not continue? declares the Sovereign LORD.'
|14 Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thy hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one that is deadly wounded, which entereth into their chambers.
|14 "So then, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike twice, even three times. It is a sword for slaughter-- a sword for great slaughter, closing in on them from every side.
|15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
|15 So that hearts may melt and the fallen be many, I have stationed the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Oh! It is made to flash like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter.
|16 Gather thee together, go to the right, set thyself in array, go to the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
|16 O sword, slash to the right, then to the left, wherever your blade is turned.
|17 I will also smite my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
|17 I too will strike my hands together, and my wrath will subside. I the LORD have spoken."
|18 The word of Jehovah came unto me again, saying,
|18 The word of the LORD came to me:
|19 Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they twain shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
|19 "Son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same country. Make a signpost where the road branches off to the city.
|20 Thou shalt appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
|20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites and another against Judah and fortified Jerusalem.
|21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows to and fro, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
|21 For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He will cast lots with arrows, he will consult his idols, he will examine the liver.
|22 In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
|22 Into his right hand will come the lot for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to give the command to slaughter, to sound the battle cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp and to erect siege works.
|23 And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths unto them; but he bringeth iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.
|23 It will seem like a false omen to those who have sworn allegiance to him, but he will remind them of their guilt and take them captive.
|24 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
|24 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: 'Because you people have brought to mind your guilt by your open rebellion, revealing your sins in all that you do--because you have done this, you will be taken captive.
|25 And thou, O deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
|25 " 'O profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax,
|26 thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this [shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
|26 this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low.
|27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
|27 A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs; to him I will give it.'
|28 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
|28 "And you, son of man, prophesy and say, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says about the Ammonites and their insults: " 'A sword, a sword, drawn for the slaughter, polished to consume and to flash like lightning!
|29 while they see for thee false visions, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
|29 Despite false visions concerning you and lying divinations about you, it will be laid on the necks of the wicked who are to be slain, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax.
|30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth, will I judge thee.
|30 Return the sword to its scabbard. In the place where you were created, in the land of your ancestry, I will judge you.
|31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
|31 I will pour out my wrath upon you and breathe out my fiery anger against you; I will hand you over to brutal men, men skilled in destruction.
|32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
|32 You will be fuel for the fire, your blood will be shed in your land, you will be remembered no more; for I the LORD have spoken.' "

Moving Day
This is where I speak. It has always been a sort of refuge and home to me where I can ramble, mostly aimlessly, and say what is on my mind. I have been gone. I suppose I could say I was abducted by aliens, ran off with vagabonds, or joined the circus (closer to accurate) but I wont. In truth, I've had some projects that took me away. One, I shared, actually scheduling photography clients. I still hate scheduling by the way. The other I have kept quiet about and will continue to do so, for now. If any of you actually drop by to read this, after so long an absence, thank you. I can't say why today I decided to write of all days. I can't even say if I need to be here or if I'll design again. I started so many kits this past year, so many characters that never amounted to more than at best mini kits. I wouldn't say it's exactly like writer's block as I still draw. It's more like being assaulted with too many things that you want to do and suddenly realizing that to do them all, they will all fall short. My project 365 died a violent death. I scrapped, I believe, 2 pages last year. Just 2! That is less than I used to do in a morning and while I felt somewhat disappointed in myself for it, I don't entirely. Last year while I wasn't scrapping I finished a quilt, the first in 6 years, I knitted countless items, I photographed beautiful people, cross stitched, learned to play piano (I'm not accomplished by any means but I play), I sewed clothes for my girls, I did that other project that I don't want to talk about (not teasing, I'm just not ready) in short, I lived. There were entire days, several in a row sometimes, when I didn't even look at the computer. Really. It was wonderful. I loved what I had here, the designing, the interacting with people, the nonsensical ramblings but I loved last year too. I'm not sure if there is a happy medium where I have both. What I have decided to do is gradually come back to blogging on my other blog. There I will ramble and share photos of what is happening in my life as I live it as I once did here. I welcome you to join me. I'm not sure I will be back here unless or until I do design again. It has always been such a digi blog in spite of the ramblings that I feel disappointed when I visit without bringing gifts. I really hate that feeling. So, I am moving my home to one that has nothing to offer but myself. If that's not enough, fine. If some of you miss my ramblings, I'll be here: 365weefaeriedays.blogspot.com

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Most of them are on suicide watch anyways, just give them back their
shoestrings and let them go to town.
You think Yemen is really "saddened" to hear about this?

Subject: PRESS RELEASE- YEMEN EMBASSY - GITMO
For Immediate Release
2nd of June, 2009
We are saddened to learn of the death of Muhammad Ahmad Abdallah Salih
Alhanashi, a Yemeni detainee at Gunatanamo Bay who apparently
committed suicide late last night (Monday the 1st of June, 2009). An
Embassy representative is on route to Guantanamo to be briefed on the
situation and to participate in the proceedings that are required
after such incident. The Embassy representative will oversee that the
remains of the deceased detainee are being treated in accordance to
Islamic customs. We will work closely with the U.S. government to
repatriate the remains of the deceased as soon as possible. We extend
our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. In addition,
this incident demonstrates the urgency of closing the detention
facility at Guantanamo Bay. The Yemeni government is looking forward
to cooperate closely with the US administration to expedite
President's Obama decision to close Guantanmo.
