CANDIDATE PROFILE: Kerry Bentivolio (R) - US House District 11
SOUTHFIELD (WXYZ) - The race for the 11 th Congressional District was split wide open when incumbent Thaddeus McCotter left in scandal. Now Kerry Bentivolio is saying he's the best man for the district.
Bentivolio served in Vietnam and later went on to work in the automotive industry. He used his technical skills to teach students as vocational teacher before going on to instruct American Literature and American History. Bentivolio says it was his students who encouraged him to run for public office.
The candidate says his number one priority is jobs. He proposes improving the job scene by cutting taxes and regulating industries.
Closer to home, Bentivolio would create a mobile office to address constituent concerns. He also intends on posting his voting record online along with an explanation of his votes.

Posted by Derek
A former prosecutor says that the huge payouts in some recent whistleblowing cases in the drug industry have gotten out of hand. The law, says Michael Loucks, was never intended to reach up into these sorts of figures, and he's suggesting a cap of $2 million as a reasonable incentive.
I'm not sure if I agree with that or not. It's true that a New England Journal of Medicine report last year found that most pharma informants in such cases say that they were not motivated by the money involved:
Although the relators in this sample all ended up using the qui tam mechanism, only six specifically intended to do so. The others fell into the qui tam process after seeking lawyers for other reasons (e.g., unfair employment practices) or after being encouraged to file suit by family or friends. Every relator we interviewed stated that the financial bounty offered under the federal statute had not motivated their participation in the qui tam lawsuit. Reported motivations coalesced around four non–mutually exclusive themes: integrity, altruism or public safety, justice, and self-preservation.
And that seems believable. But what I'm thinking about is the motivation for the people who are promulgating the behavior that the whistles get blown on. These are not people for whom personal integrity is as strong a motivating factor (although self-preservation would certainly still rank high). Many of them, I'd venture to guess, are in fact people who would fear that others might be motivated mostly by a large payout. And if that's true, the publicity around the large whistleblower awards might help restrain them.
Why don't such people just take the money and run, themselves? Several reasons, I'd say, not least of which is the fact that they're generally quite implicated in the very behavior that the Department of Justice would like to prosecute. But another motivation for that sort of personality is the loss of status and position that such a decision would mean. I'm convinced that having power is a strong motivator for most people, and for some it's the primary one. Money is great, and the other benefits are great, too - but for many people, it's being the boss that is the sweetest part of the job (along with the prospect of working one's way up to being an even bigger boss, of course). Blowing the whistle means saying goodbye to that, irrevocably.
As an aside, people for whom personal power is the prime motivation do not tend to turn out well if they get their wish, to put it mildly. This is a good time to quote Lord Acton. I also recall Gore Vidal's essay "Robert Graves and the Twelve Caesars", pointing out what a depressing spectacle they tended to make once the experience of empire got through with them:
Yet what, finally, was the effect of absolute power on twelve representative men? Suetonius makes it quite plain: disastrous. Caligula was certifiably mad. Nero, who started well, became progressively irrational. Even the stern Tiberius's character became weakened. In fact, Tacitus, in covering the same period as Suetonius, observes: 'Even after his enormous experience of public affairs, Tiberius was ruined and transformed by the violent influence of absolute power.' Caligula gave the game away when he told a critic, 'Bear in mind that I can treat anyone exactly as I please.' And that cruelty which is innate in human beings, now give the opportunity to treat others as toys, flowered monstrously in the Caesars.
And there's always this:
The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. . .Power is not a means, it is an end.
It is, fortunately, a long way from Mr. O'Brien there (or Tiberius) to a typical hard-charging, rule-bending executive. But it's a difference of degree - not of kind.

Without the huge payout, how would you convince the lawyers to represent the whistleblowers?
2. NoDrugsNoJobs on February 8, 2011 11:12 AM writes...
Derek - I think you're justification for the unseemly whistleblower awards is too tangential to the stakes involved. In particular, you seem to readily dismiss the notion that the primary beneficiaries of these huge awards are not motivated by money (sure thing, isn't that what everybody says?) but those who are culpable in the bad actions will be motivated by the fact that they think that the whisteleblowers will blow the whistle because they mistakenly believe they are motivated by money when in fact they are not. As for me,Occam's razor says that if you put out a bunch of roach bait (money in this instant), the roaches will come. Look, if the people who are doing these awful actions are the problem, why not simply punish them rather than strip hundreds of millions (if not some billions) from the shareholders and 99.9% of other employees who are not engaged in the act. If the persons at the companies doing acts that are so egregious, why don't we simply prosecute them through the many criminal statutes that are already on the books? Won't going to jail scare the bejesus out of somebody enough - talk about losing power. I see no reason to burn down the village to save the village. its a sad state of affairs when the whistleblowers at a company become the highest paid employees of the company. Instead of focusing on our jobs, I guess we should all be focusing on catching somebody else not doing theirs. Thats kind of scary to me quite frankly. Our industry already has enough problems to deal without creating more....
3. Vader on February 8, 2011 12:10 PM writes...
I dunno, Derek. If you're after power, it seems to me that there are more remunerative places to seek it than in the management chain of a pharm company.
I think most people like to think that what they're doing is inherently valuable. When a situation needing the whistle blown on it comes along, the temptation is to find some way to ignore it, because it threatens the self-image of the manager as a person doing something worthwhile in the world.
4. lucullus on February 8, 2011 12:15 PM writes...
There is no way $2 million can start to compensate whistleblowers for the vexations, ostracism and humiliation that awaits them. Sadly, companies convicted in whistleblower lawsuits have shown they will do anything to make the $2m payoff economically unattractive if there was ever such a cap. The system works well as it is, leave it alone. Companies that dislike it should police themselves more effectively.
5. Hap on February 8, 2011 1:00 PM writes...
I don't think the people who thought of whistleblower laws thought that the compensation for illegal activities would be quite so high, either, but I don't see as many complaints about that. The fines are usually (at best) less than the profits to be gained from the activity, and that doesn't even count the (less than one) probability that the people/companies doing the illegal activity will be caught.
If whistleblower penalties are cut, companies are making enough money that there is likely to be a financial incentive for employees to keep misdeeds quiet - it's much easier to pay employees enough that the benefits of whistleblowing are small relative to the compensations of illegal activity [not counting the (non-one) probablilty that whistleblowers will get anything, or the fact that if they do get anything, it is likely compensation for the career income that they are likely forgoing].
If you want companies doing bigger, badder things, lowering whistleblower penalties will help.
6. darwin on February 8, 2011 1:01 PM writes...
The lure of whistleblowing pales in comparison to managerial greed and incompetence, which is in all likelihood, willfull and a corporate selection trait.
7. barry on February 8, 2011 1:16 PM writes...
If that $2million dollar cap includes lawyers' costs, that would preclude any further wistleblower case ever going forwards; the company lawyers can always drag out the process and run up the costs if they know they can run the opponent out of the game. Even if it were only the part going to the wistleblower, we should remember that she/he is unlikely ever to work in the industry again.
I don't see any motive to cap wistleblower awards. They are part of the still-inadequate system to keep the industry on the strait and narrow in the face of grave temptations.
8. MTK on February 8, 2011 2:18 PM writes...
I agree with the others that are against a cap on the whistleblowers' compensation.
I think the system is working fine.
If someone can name me an instance when a corporation got unfairly railroaded due to some whistleblower ratting them out, I'm all ears. Honestly, though, I don't recall anything like that happening.
9. processchemist on February 8, 2011 2:31 PM writes...
I'd suggest more than Gore Vidal a basic approach to roman emperors lives, if not plain Svetonius or Plutarchus at least a little of Gibbons. Absolute power corrupts abosolutely, yes, *most of the times* (the Antonins century is a good example of absolute power well used).
10. Brooks Moses on February 8, 2011 3:15 PM writes...
I think I'd like to challenge the idea that $2M is "high". As barry alludes to, one of the effects of being a whistleblower is that you're at significant risk of destroying your career. In a non-risky investment, a single payment of $2M wouldn't really replace the ongoing salary of a senior chemist or manager even if none of it were to go to taxes and legal fees. There's no "reward" there.
11. Resveratrol Receptor on February 8, 2011 3:26 PM writes...
Nice Vidal excerpt, Derek. Does this analysis remind anyone else of their thesis advisor?

Modglob will watch all files inside the Web directory it's been placed in. It's not a fully blown security system, but will show which files were recently changed inside that folder for a period of time.
Modglob is better suited for static folders where changes regularly don't happen. It's a good way to watch for unauthorized file uploads or irregular file changes.
To avoid scanning cache folders or other directories that get changed a lot, an ignore list can be setup at any time.
Different log levels can be implemented, along with a customizable scan interval allowing developers to control server workflow and avoid bottlenecks due to frequent folder scans.
Couple this with its built-in mail alerts system, modglob will immediately warn webmasters about any potential threats or unauthorized updates.

Reported breakthrough in melanoma treatment
Posted: June 03, 2014|
SOME "exciting and striking" results have been reached in a pair of treatment trails for skin cancer, it has been reported.
John Wagstaff, professor of medical oncology at Swansea College of Medicine, is part of a large trial of the two drugs being tested and he has said he is "convinced that this is a breakthrough in treating melanoma."
Both treatments, for advanced melanoma, are designed to enable the immune system to recognise and target tumours itself, with the findings released at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago.
Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab both block the biological pathway which cancers use to hide themselves from the immune system.
Advanced melanoma - skin cancer which has spread to other organs - has proved very hard to treat and until a few years ago average survival was just six months.
But in a trial of 411 patients evaluating pembrolizumab 69% of patients survived at least a year.
The drug is also being tested against other tumour types which use the same mechanism to block attack from the immune system.
Nivolumab, was tested in combination with an existing licensed immunotherapy, ipilimumab.
In a trial of 53 patients, survival was 85% after one year, and 79% after two years.
Professor Wagstaff said the trial was blinded so it was not known which of the treatments each patient was getting, but he trumpeted "some spectacular responses."
However these published results are from Phase I, of early stage trials. Much larger Phase III trials are underway involving a wider spread of UK hospitals.
They are set to report their findings in about a year's time.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Steep, swift drops in popular markets like precious metals and Chinese stocks have thrown off some investors. Hang in there, says U.S. Global Investors's Frank Holmes.
Investors should take a big-picture view of the economic growth sweeping through China, India and Brazil, as well as lower-profile markets such as Mongolia and Colombia, and buy accordingly.
"One wants to take a look at companies that have exposure to growth in emerging countries," said Holmes.
Just take a look at China, where even a sliver of the 1.3 billion population moving into the upper middle class can feed a ton of new demand. "If you have 50 million people making $80,000 a year, that's a lot of consumption. That's massive consumption," he said.
Holmes, who bought a controlling stake in San Antonio-based U.S. Global in 1989 and transformed it into a $3.1 billion asset-fund company focused on resource stocks and emerging markets, has long been a fan of what's known as the supercycle.
In recent years, the term has been used to describe the multidecade expansion in populous, fast-growing economies — and related assets like commodities — that should extend beyond the typical business cycle.
Holmes is not changing that tune. His funds have bought shares of smaller miners as resource plays, U.S. multinationals for the emerging markets exposure, and Latin American financial stocks most leveraged to economic growth. He's enthusiastic about a massive Chinese rail project that should underpin appetite for the basic materials needed to build rails and stations — and the retailers that have new points of access to travelers.
But he also advises more caution and payback for the income minded, in investments where yields beat out Treasury rates.
There's another supercycle going on with the U.S. consumer and financial system: a debt-contraction cycle, and the U.S. is probably just over halfway through it, he said.
Rev up for China's rail boom
China's massive rail-building efforts should support resource stocks and also consumer retailers over the coming years, according to Frank Holmes of U.S. Global Investors. Plus, gold should thrive on the "love trade." Laura Mandaro reports.
"Almost every decade there is a currency credit crisis that takes place," he said. "What happens with these debt contractions is that [governments] attack the banks, banks get blamed for everything." Stricter bank regulations, less lending and more deleveraging follow, he says. Read full report on Dodd-Frank Act's anniversary and regulatory changes yet to come.
With this is mind, here are Holmes's five money moves:
Buy gold miners
Holmes sees a lot more value in gold as the precious metal keeps rising on both worries about big government spending — and the ensuing impact on inflation — and rising demand from wealthy Chinese and other emerging-markets consumers.
"Everyone is consumed with contagion, with fear. But there's another part, it's called the love trade," said Holmes. Much of the world's population gives gold as gifts for weddings, birthdays and religious holidays. Rising wealth translates to greater demand.
"As GDP per capital rises in China and India, the correlation with gold prices is very tight," he said.

In the forthcoming Starlight Rescue (Treble Heart, 2011), the fourth and latest romance novel by Leslee Breene, Wyoming veterinarian Kimberly Dorn fights to keep her rescue ranch from land developers. Gabe Trent, an adventurous wildlife filmmaker, offers her an opportunity to film her rescue animals for a television documentary. She accepts, and things heat up in all directions. But when the film shoot goes awry, Kimberly wonders: if she can't trust Gabe with her rescue animals, how can she trust him with her heart?
Below, Hue presents an excerpt from Starlight Rescue, a "character scene," Breene says, revealing the troubled past of protagonist Kimberly. For more information on the book and Breene's other works, visit lesleebreene.com.
In the distance, the lake sparkled in the afternoon sun. The temptation of escaping to its banks, taking off her sandals and dangling her bare feet into the cool water, was compelling.
Approaching the lake, Kimberly moved between ponderosa pine and down the slight slope to the vacant shore. She removed her hot sandals and walked further, squishing her toes into the grainy sand. Then she plopped down into a heap, staring out over the water. A pair of flickers swooped low over the dock, disappearing into a stand of cottonwood off to her right.
As if compelled, she rose, slid back into her sandals, and walked over to the dock. Though its surface was chipped and peeling after years of disuse, the dock still brought back memories of family picnics and boat rides in the happier times of her childhood, when the Dorns were still together as a family. When three sisters scampered playfully up and down the sturdy boards. Before her dad had left them.
Kimberly stepped up on the dock and ventured over the worn boards, remembering. "Come on, Dad," her younger sister Andrea would call when he took them out fishing. "Promise you'll let me row the boat first."
Many were the times she'd argued with Andy over the rowing and who would be first to catch a fish. Mom had always stayed behind on the beach with little Pam, too young to go fishing with the big girls.
She neared the end of the dock, a sudden heaviness in the pit of her stomach like a weighted rock pulling her downward. Pammy. Shivering in the warm sunlight, she grasped her elbows, holding them tight, and stared soberly out beyond the water's calm surface.
I'm so sorry ... I couldn't save you. She clamped her eyes shut.
The rain had come up so fast that day, waves rolling against their boat.
It was all my fault. She forced her eyes open. Why had she come out here? Nothing had changed. This was no peaceful sanctuary and never would be.
Panic clutched at her insides, revived from memories she had successfully buried for some time. They threatened to take away all her hard efforts to disallow, to overcome. Tearing herself away, Kimberly ran back over the long untrodden dock to shore.

My husband and I looked at this house a few years ago. We love(d) the house but the kitchen just didn't work for us and the hallway to the master bath annoyed my husband. We had an architect look at it and he suggested removing the back side of the staircase to make the kitchen bigger! We couldn't do that because the staircase was amazing. Glad to hear it found the right owners!

"I personalized the green in the address labels and made it emerald green to reflect my wedding colors. Simple but elegant design."
"I used these for a bachelorette party to go with the Sassy Support invite. I put my name with the return address part of the label, and instead of where the name is on the sample, I put Let's Celebrate (so that is the text that wraps around to the back of the envelope). It looks great, and everyone commented on how different it was. Paper quality is high, colors are rich and bold, and the labels peel off the backing very easily. Sets the tone for a fun event! Highly recommend!!"
"So I ordered this on a Thursday night and received it Thursday of the following week! On top of that, after I ordered, I left off my apartment # (in the address) and WPD "proofs" their items so I when they sent the proof I noticed the incomplete address. I immediately added it and INSTANTLY (no joke, within minutes) they sent me a corrected proof. I'm blown away by the personalized attention to detail, this didn't feel like a large company I ordered from but rather a small one that gave me wonderful one on one attention. A++ definately recommend!"
"I absolutely love our address labels! The service was wonderful. I added a note for the designers asking them to match the labels to our save the date magnets and it was all taken care if. They match perfectly! Our family and friends have loved our engagement invites, Thank-you cards, save the date magnets and address labels (all purchased from Wedding paper divas!) I would definitely recommend any product from this website due to quality service, paper, printing and great prices! Very happy customer!"
"My daughter, who is the bride to be, is overseas so I volunteered to address, assemble and send the wedding invitations for her. These return address labels were easy to order, arrived quickly and look so cute on the envelopes. Many thanks!"

Detailed Description:
Combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-1 infection can suppress viremia to below the detection limit in the vast majority of motivated individuals with access to these drugs. However, HIV-1 persists in a small pool of latently infected resting memory CD4+ T cells carrying integrated viral genomes. Although other reservoirs for HIV-1 exist, the general consensus among experts is that latent virus (HIV DNA in resting memory CD4+ T cells) is the primary barrier to HIV-1 eradication. A widely discussed approach for eliminating this viral reservoir requires reactivation of latent HIV-1. Disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug used to treat alcoholism was shown to activate HIV-1 gene expression in vitro, suggesting that activation of latently infected cells in vivo may occur. Our primary hypothesis is that the addition of disulfiram to a stable effective antiretroviral drug regimen will result in a dose dependent increase in HIV transcription in CD4+ T-cells in HIV-1 in patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- HIV-1 infection
- Age 18 or older
- HIV plasma viral load <50 copies/ml for at least 3 years with at least one measurement per year and most recent viral load within 3 months of screening.
- Receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (at least 3 agents); subjects must be on a efavirenz-based or a ritonavir-based regimen
- Two CD4+ T cell counts greater than 350 cell/µl in the six months prior to screening
- Willing to abstain from any alcohol one day before, during the three day period in which disulfiram will be administered and the two week period immediately after disulfiram administration
Exclusion Criteria:
- Current alcohol use disorder or hazardous alcohol use
- Current use of any drug formulation that contains alcohol or that might contain alcohol, including the gelatin capsule and liquid formulations of ritonavir, ritonavir/lopinavir, amprenavir and fosamprenavir.
- Current use of tipranavir or maraviroc.
- Current use of zidovudine, stavudine or didanosine (as disulfiram potentially has potent irreversible inhibitory effects on mitochondrial metabolism and hence could exacerbate the toxicity of these drugs).
- Concurrent use of rivaroxaban ( a CYP3A metabolized medication) as the cytochrome P450 inhibitory effects of disulfiram on rivaroxaban are unknown.
- Current use of warfarin
- Patients who are intending to modify antiretroviral therapy in the next 2 weeks for any reason.
- Serious illness requiring hospitalization or parental antibiotics within preceding 3 months
- A screening hemoglobin below 12.5 g/dL

- Diabetes or current hypothyroidism.
- Concurrent treatment with immunomodulatory drugs, or exposure to any immunomodulatory drug in past 16 weeks.
- Recent exposure (within the preceding 8 weeks) to any vaccine.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and agree to use a double-barrier method of contraception throughout the study period.
- Significant substance use, which in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to interfere with the conduct of the study.
- Prior or current use of disulfiram, vorinostat or other experimental agent used with the intent to perturb the HIV-1 viral reservoir
- Current use of an antiretroviral regimen which does not include either efavirenz or a protease inhibitor

Non-Traditional Students / Another Air Force guy Bailing Out« on: June 23, 2006, 03:02:48 PM »
Hi, all. As I've posted in a couple places, I'm going to be leaving Active Duty in the next two years to (hopefully) get a joint JD/MBA. I have a weak GPA (2.9 in Computer Engineering at U of Miami, FL), so I know how important the LSAT and soft factors are. Wow, that just rolled off my toungue--three weeks ago I wouldn't have known a "soft factor" if I stepped on it!
In any event, I wanted to poll some of your considerable knowledge to help figure out how to strengthen my application aside from the LSAT, and where I should probably concentrate. Interested in Business Law, Contracts, Securities, Tax and even (gasp) Intellectual Property Law. If I decide to be poor, I'd love to work in public service someday. I am a pilot (recently medically grounded--hence the earlier than anticipated departure), pinning on major next week, and I'll have 11 years of service, including combat aviation, when I apply next cycle (2007 for 2008 start). Oops, forgot, I'm 31, married, no kids.
Thanks, ya'll!
Studying for the LSAT / Best Test Centers near Raleigh-Durham, NC« on: June 07, 2006, 11:15:06 AM »
Hi, all, how are you? Yes, I'm quite the newbie! I've been lurking for awhile, mostly in the non-trad area and have lots of questions, but best to start with one, no?
Q: Does anyone know of the best LSAT test center in the Raleigh-Durham area in terms of space, crowd, etc...?
Thank you so much! Now let me see if I can figure out how to get a signature attached...

Comments about SAVASA Bell 26"" Bicycle Tire with Kevlar:
Not sure what the other reviewer's deal is... These tires feel great on my bike and have NEVER gone flat. Perhaps the other reviewer needs better tubes or did not seat the bead of these tires properly (wrong size for the rims???). These tires hold pressure well and really drop the amount of rolling resistance on my MTB. I added these to make city riding easier on my bike and liked them so much that I picked up a pair for my girlfriend's bike as well. She loves them too!

These are the worst tires I have ever used!!! They get a flat every time I go out on them. I have tried them for about 6 months and I will never buy another one. I ride on good clean roads and paths, doesnt matter I get flats all the time. Spend a couple dollars more and get a tire that will hold up, you'll save yourself some down time and be better off.

SANTA FE — Coming off a less-than-stellar performance Wednesday against Bernalillo, the Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team got its ship righted in a hurry Saturday.
The Hilltoppers earned a convincing shutout victory over a much-improved Santa Fe Demon program Saturday at Toby Roybal Gymnasium. Even after getting off to a rocky start in the second set, the Hilltoppers recovered quickly and turned a 6-1 deficit into an 8-7 lead in the space of just two side-outs.
Los Alamos won Saturday's District 2AAAA contest over Santa Fe 25-11, 25-19, 25-16 to improve its district mark to 2-0 and win its eighth-straight match.
Saturday, Los Alamos made things easier for itself from the get-go, displaying an improved service game, something that it struggled with Wednesday.
Hilltopper head coach Garry Maskaly said that instead of serving it straight to a waiting defensive specialist, the team was forcing the Demons' back line to move to catch up to serves.
That little adjustment made a difference.
"We've been practicing that a lot," Hilltopper setter Savanah Romero said. "I think we did that. Our serving has struggled for awhile now, but I think it's getting back."

In the city of Jerusalem, soldiers patrol the streets and perform routine ID checks. It is a place on constant terror alert, and the military presence helps to maintain a defense against the Palestinian threat. In the Israeli film Close to Home, most of these female soldiers are like Smadar (Smadar Sayar), a woman apathetically serving her compulsory duty who would rather goof off during her shift than confront Arabs. Recognized by her superiors as a possible slacker, Smadar is partnered up with a goody-goody named Mirit (Neama Shendar), who none of the women like. Just as in every other story of a mismatched pair forced to work together, the two slowly become friends.
Close to Home is no buddy-cop, action-comedy, though. Basically it follows the same pattern of the genre, but it leaves out the action and the comedy so all that is left is a predictable narrative with no entertainment appeal. Even with its likeable, attractive leads, the film is a lifeless effort from writer-directors Vidi Bilu and Dalia Hagar.
If foreign films are sometimes assumed to be slower and simpler, Close to Home is evidence that such traits aren't always accompanied by a more attentive or more incisive exploration of character or story. The film never really examines who Smadar and Mirit are or why they have the attitudes they have. They are merely divergent personalities for the sake of being divergent personalities. The progression of their relationship is also quite hackneyed, including a plot point where the duo, after becoming friendly, have a falling out and become enemies again.
While watching Close to Home I was constantly reminded of Feds, a worthless 1988 comedy that was clearly made in an attempt to ride the success of the Police Academy franchise, and stars Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross as a pair of opposites who are teamed up at the FBI Training Academy. I envisioned a sequel to that movie in which the now-graduated agents are assigned the task of patrolling the New York subways for potential terrorists. Even if the slapstick and cheap jokes of the original were not carried over and Feds II was just an easy-going story set against the backdrop of America's "War on Terror," I can't imagine the public reception of such a light approach would be very good.
In Close to Home the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is dealt with so casually, not just by the filmmakers but also by the characters, that like an angry commuter in the film who points to an unattended bag on a bus as something the negligent soldiers should be noticing, I questioned the reality of such disregard for an obviously dire responsibility on the part of these women. After a bombing occurs in Smadar's and Mirit's sector, it makes sense for Smadar to become more dutiful, but instead Mirit slowly becomes more relaxed.
I am interested to know how Israeli audiences have received Close to Home. Does the subject matter really not hold much weight in a country that sees so many bombings? Is there truly indifference from young women forced to serve in the army? The film doesn't address these things for foreign viewers, and perhaps that makes it more accessible in some ways. It just doesn't make much sense to me, and by the film's end I was left with my own sort of unconcern for what I was being shown.

CHICAGO Including a patient's photo with imaging exam results may enable a more meticulous reading from the radiologist interpreting the images, as well as a more personal and empathetic approach, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
"Our study emphasizes approaching the patient as a human being and not as an anonymous case study," said lead author Yehonatan N. Turner, M.D., radiology resident at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel.
Many radiologists have limited contact with patients. A referring physician will order imaging exams, such as MRI or computed tomography (CT), and the radiologist interprets the results, never having met the patient.
Technological advances have further distanced the radiologist from interaction with the patient. With the advent of teleradiology, radiologists are now able to view images from remote locations via the Internet or satellite.
"We feel it is important to counteract the anonymity that is common in radiologic exams, especially with the growth of teleradiology," Dr. Turner said.
The researchers set out to determine if the addition of a patient's photograph to the file would affect how radiologists interpreted the results.
For the study, 318 patients referred for CT agreed to be photographed prior to the exam. The images of the patients were added to their files in the hospital's picture archiving and communication system (PACS), a network for storage and retrieval of medical images. The photograph appeared automatically when a patient's file was opened.
After interpreting the results of the exams, 15 radiologists were given questionnaires to gather data about their experience. All 15 radiologists admitted feeling more empathy towards the patients after viewing their photos. In addition, the photographs revealed medical information such as suffering or physical signs of d

I've been in the getting a kick out of reusing lots of code lately. Finding ways to keep DRY has been quite a rewarding experience. A few days ago I learned about the
polymorphic_path Rails helper. This helper makes things a lot easier when you're trying to reuse a code either in the view or controller of a given resource.
An example for this is having a shared partial that includes action buttons for a resource (eg. edit/show/delete). You realize that you have these action buttons across a few different resources. A good way to DRY this up is by creating a shared partial for these resources.
So something like this:
Would turn into this:
Doing this will allow you to use the partial for many different types of resources if they have those actions available.
And in case your resource is nested then you can simply add the parent resource (or namespace) like so:
Pretty nifty!

Apple puts first refurbished third-gen iPads on sale
updated 09:34 am EDT, Wed August 8, 2012
Discount limited to $50
Apple has begun selling refurbished third-generation iPads for the first time, a check of the company's online store shows. The discount is a flat $50 for each model, regardless of capacity or 4G support; whereas a 16GB Wi-Fi iPad is knocked down to $449 as a refurb, for instance, a 64GB 4G iPad only drops to $779. Each unit includes a one-year warranty as well as a new battery and shell.
The availability of refurbished units tends to mark a later phase in an Apple product's lifespan, since demand is no longer so intense that fresh units sell as quickly as they can be produced. Apple also tends to let a certain number of refurb units stockpile before putting them online, and often this stockpile can persist after a next-generation device is released. The first-generation iPad continued to be available as a refurb long after the iPad 2 debuted; currently Apple is still selling 32 and 64GB iPad 2s, even though only 16GB iPad 2s are being actively manufactured.

OPENfuture: Spinning Marinetti's Wheels
Part of Metal + Machine + Manifesto = Futurism's First 100 Years
Date + TimeSaturday, October 17, 2009
8:00 p.m.
LocationEvelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Atrium
Feeding on Futurism's appetite for destruction, OPENrestaurant revisits F. T. Marinetti's provocative Futurist Cookbook from 1932 — which combined polemics with actual recipes designed to transform society — and realigns the movement's arguably fascist palate with a more sustainable approach to life. Look for cyclists delivering a locally sourced "wild beast" and a women-only kitchen carving edible sculptures against a backdrop of stadium seating, emergency sirens, and spinning walls. Guests attending this clamorous banquet can expect to exalt in sounds, smells, and constant motion, and delight in, among other things, beef ice-cream cones, avocado cocktails, and flying panforte.

Cumberland School Board
Published on May 5 2012 8:49 am
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
Cumberland school board members this week decided on curricular and course changes at the middle school and high school for the coming school year.
Sheila Plummer outlined the curricular and course changs at the high school. Debbie Musielak spoke to the English department changes and presented reasons for the recommendations, including an alternative to English IV for senior students who may not be planning on continuing on to college as a possible elective for underclassmen.
Teachers said there should be no problems with class size, since it is simply students moving from one class to a different one. Classrooms will not be shared and many of the changes would continue to improve the study hall arrangement.
Musielak also talked about offering French as a foreign language alternative. When asked about student interest, it was noted that 41 students have currently requested to take French. Students will also have the option to take both French and Spanish.
Brian Muhr explained that the changes would benefit students planning to attend college.
Natalie Hurd spoke to the Board in favor of reinstating Art into the middle school curriculum, and indicated the addition would carry over into regular academics.
Ed Blome spoke to the addition of Intermediate Algebra for students who are not ready for Algebra II and help those students meet the current three-year Math requirement for graduation. There was also information that the changes would make it easier for the school district to meet IEP requirements for special education students regarding time spent in regular classrooms.
Andy Thoele shared information regarding moving the flex period to the end of the day. Thoele said there would be educational benefits in moving the flex period, including students leaving for sports not missing educational time, an incentive to students to maintain at least a C average to gain rewards at the end of the day, or for juniors and seniors to sign out 30 minutes early at the end of the day. When asked about students leaving early to go to work, Thoele said the change would add 20 minutes to the end of the day. The current system allows seniors to sign out an entire period early at the end of the school day, even those who are failing.
There were questions over who would monitor the flex period system. Board members heard that a report could be printed daily for teachers to know what students were ineligible.
The Board voted 4-2 to approve the middle school and high school changes. Marje Jackson, Steve Layton, Rob Plummer and Cheryl Flood voted Yes, Laurie Titus and April Flood voted No.
The Board also met in closed session to discuss personnel matters and then moved back into open session to hire Kevin Macha as K-12 fulltime instrumental and vocal music teacher for the coming school year.

POTSDAM — Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis said Monday night that he and the village board are listening to community concerns about the pear trees downtown, and have delayed action until the board can look into other options.
"I just want to assure everyone that this board is listening," Mr. Yurgartis said. "Given the concerns raised, we are going to pause to re-evaluate our alternatives."
Mr. Yurgartis said he is trying to collect additional information on alternatives to replacing the trees and should have a more complete report by the board's next meeting.
In the meantime, he urged the public to consider that grant money does exist — as part of the village's waterfront revitalization plan — to replace the trees at no cost to village residents, and that the trees have cost the village $8,300 per year to clean up after. The village spends 14 days' labor on the cleanup each year at $594 per day, according to Mr. Yurgartis.
The pears have been a thorn in the side of downtown businesses for many years, with owners voicing repeated complaints.
"As much as we love our pear trees, the concerns of those merchants need to be taken seriously as well," said Mr. Yurgartis, calling downtown businesses important to the village's future.
He said the village is committed to beautifying Potsdam's village with tree-lined streets, and invited the community to direct its questions about the future of the pear trees to him and other members of the village board.

Once again, it's time to enjoy Wednesday night's show all over again but in teency tiny munchable bytes. We've got some primo GIFs for you so let's go ahead and get to it.
Kim Kardashian's catching some flak for her choice of apparel at the Met Gala. We're by no means the resident fashionistas but we still felt to compelled to weigh in.
We watched what happened on Watch What Happens Live, which put Rachel Maddow and Lil' JON together (because it had to be done) and then added some social lubricant to the mix. It went even better than expected.
We then checked in with Keke from R&B Divas and, true to form, she was expressing herself in the studio...more to the cameras than into a microphone.
Meanwhile on COPS, much to our surprise, someone resisted arrest. That of course wasn't the whole story. It was one of the background onlookers that most captured our interest.
Finally, we shared with you what we think was a PSA. Whatever it was, it had demonic neon bears, gleefully chanting terrible advice and, as you well know, we have a soft spot for that sort of thing.
So with a destructive chant now ringing in your mind, we'll draw this brief offering to a close. Be sure to tune in every Wednesday at 10/9c to see the show in it's entirety!

To succeed in this course, take the following first steps:
Consider the following study tips for success:
Students at Thomas Edison State College are expected to exhibit the highest level of academic citizenship. In particular, students are expected to read and follow all policies, procedures, and program information guidelines contained in publications; pursue their learning goals with honesty and integrity; demonstrate that they are progressing satisfactorily and in a timely fashion by meeting course deadlines and following outlined procedures; observe a code of mutual respect in dealing with mentors, staff, and other students; behave in a manner consistent with the standards and codes of the profession in which they are practicing; keep official records updated regarding changes in name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address; and meet financial obligations in a timely manner. Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty can take the following forms:
Please refer to the Academic Code of Conduct Policy in the College Catalog and online at www.tesc.edu.
Using someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. Thomas Edison State College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing will be severely penalized. If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, or without identifying it as a direct quote, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

First-time incidents of academic dishonesty concerning plagiarism may reflect ignorance of appropriate citation requirements. Mentors will make a good faith effort to address all first-time offenses that occur in courses. In these cases, the mentor may impose sanctions that serve as a learning exercise for the offender. These may include the completion of tutorials, assignment rewrites, or any other reasonable learning tool including a lower grade when appropriate. The mentor will notify the student by e-mail. Decisions about the sanctions applied for subsequent plagiarism offenses or other violations will be made by the appropriate dean's office, with the advice of the mentor or staff person who reported the violation. The student will be notified via certified mail of the decision. Options for sanctions include:

Ahh, Ruggero Deodato. Is there anything he can't make weird? Although best known for cannibal atrocity films like Cannibal Holocaust, Deodato was no different than any other workhorse of the Italian exploitation industry, in that he worked in pretty much every genre that required exploiting. He made cop films, kiddie films, sword and sorcery films, horror films, sexploitation, and in the case of Raiders of Atlantis, a film that manages to steal from both Road Warrior and Raiders of the Lost Ark, and maybe a bit of Seatopia from Godzilla vs. Megalon, in a way that keeps the end result unique despite the lack of originality in its individual parts. Deodato certainly keeps his genre films offbeat, if nothing else.

Phenomenal and the Treasure of Tutankhamun
Like many people, I find that there are certain types of films that appeal so strongly to me on a conceptual level that I tend to cut them considerable slack when reviewing them. Often times, even the very worst of these films, like when Santo is old and fat and spends half the film driving a station wagon to the grocery store, muster enough of the elements I like to keep me satisfied. And one of my very favorite genres is the Eurospy film and the various offshoots and influenced tributaries — among them the Italian fumetti-inspired films. As we covered in some weird and convoluted fashion in our review of Kriminal and the three Turkish Kilink films, as well as Danger Diabolik, fumetti were saucy Italian comic books populated by sexy, violent anti-heroes and villains. Super-thief Diabolik became the flashpoint for a whole series of comics and related films that drew both from Diabolik and the James Bond movies. Diabolik himself was a throwback to the old pulp heroes like The Shadow, The Spider, and European counterparts like Fantomas — with a bit of Batman thrown in for good measure.

The League of Women Voters has posted guides to the races that are taking place in St. Lawrence County.
With Albany's gerrymandering of the Big County, there's plenty to peruse.
Here's the guide for federal office, which includes the Senate race between Democratic Sen. Kirsten GIllibrand and Republican Wendy Long.
Here's the guide to the three Senate races that are taking place in St. Lawrence County. State Sens. Joe Griffo, R-Rome, and Betty Little, R-Queensbury, did not respond, but state Sen. Patty Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Democrat Amy Tresidder, her Nov. 6 opponent, did.
And here are the four — count 'em, four — Assembly races in the north country. Only two are contested: Assemblywoman Janet Duprey, R-Peru, vs. Conservative Party candidate Karen Bisso and Democrat Tim Carpenter; and Assemblyman Marc Butler, R-Newport, vs. Democrat Joe Chilelli of Herkimer.

A nice modern style tea shop which serves tea as well. Many tea varieties (of their own brand), though sadly no samples out. But a great shop just the same.
This is competition for the most beautiful tea shop in Paris – and that competition is fierce. It is far far smaller than Mariage Frères at the Marais or Dammann at Place des Vosges, but it´s so so cute, so bijoux. And much more convenient for a tourist than I would have thought ( metro Trocadero, opportunity to gawk at Eiffel Tower from very best spot).
On the bad side, one can not just fuss around with the tea samples, which are not out one must ask the attendant by each tea. And finding the opening hours of the shop is not nearly as simple as it should be.
But the teas are wonderful, the shop very beautiful and the service lovely and helpful.
First thing, the address on steepster is wrong. This is not on central downtown area, but further afield, Avenida de Paris, 17-A (near Praça de Londres and Avenida de Roma). But steepster database can not seem to accept the correct address so I can´t correct it.
I think this is the best tea shop and tea room in Lisbon – and I have certainly been testing both these categories. It has got the widest range of teas, and acessories, for sale I have yet found, with some very interesting things indeed, and they serve practically everything by the cup or teapot, for a reasonable price. It is not too big, the shop is not too large, the decor is simple but modern, but they have lots of delicious tea, and it is a very nice place with nice staff to take a cup or be tempted by their tea selection.
Very beautiful, somewhat precious decor on a gorgeous location, with a big selection of cakes and pastries. But there is not a lot of tea to select and they bring you a cup of hot water with a sealed teabag on the side. And then charge you 5 euros for it.

It's still prom season and that means there's still time to dump a bucket of blood on your favorite school outcast. Remember to always use pig's blood, and play it safe, guys.
MGM and Screen Gems are teaming up to reboot Carrie, the horror classic based on Stephen King's first published novel. Now that MGM is more financially stable, they've been rebooting everything and anything, from Robocop to Child's Play. You can't walk down the street without overhearing a conversation like, "when are they gonna make another new version of Carrie, after Carrie 2: The Rage was such a hit?" That's probably why the studios hired comic book writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who wrote the new, less horrifying version of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, to pen the screenplay.
Oh, one more prom safety tip: make sure the outcast you dump pig's blood on doesn't have psychic powers. That'll cause the evening go south real fast. (Hollywood Reporter)
Consider posting a comment.
its so horror able blog post, so nice.
she looks so scared and great expression.

… nor are you ready for prime time. [Politico]

… nor are you ready for prime time. [Politico]
"Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he hold to as being certain from reason and experience. Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking nonsense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn. The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men. If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods and on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason? Reckless and incompetent expounders of Holy Scripture bring untold trouble and sorrow on their wiser brethren when they are caught in one of their mischievous false opinions and are taken to task by those who are not bound by the authority of our sacred books. For then, to defend their utterly foolish and obviously untrue statements, they will try to call upon Holy Scripture for proof and even recite from memory many passages which they think support their position, although they understand neither what they say nor the things about which they make assertion".
Augustine of Hippo, ~400 AD
I'd hold out for a little more context in what the setting and surrounding conversations were, but he doesn't exhibit a lot of polish in handling questions possibly designed to distract while walking toward a doorjamb. Other than that, candid slips are not permissible if you're thinking of running for President anytime in the next 40 years. I wonder if that reduces us to candidates that never half-think out loud because they never think at all.
And please don't dismiss every politician and lawyer, government runs more and more of everything, they run the government and they are your only hope.
Rubio is a typical lying scumbag that will not be held to a statement or a principle/
This is a unfair attack on Rubio. The point of the question was to force Rubio to say something that could be a sound bite they could use to hurt him. This is a lose/lose situation for a politician if he speaks the "truth" as he knows it then they attack him as being a phony about his religion. If he speaks the belief of his religion then they attack him for being a creationist or ignorant. This was nothing but a dirty political trick.
"This was nothing but a dirty political trick."
Plus, all's fair in politics. Rubio is a good man; he needs to be prepared to handle such questions.
The part that bothers me the most here is that as usual, the christian charicature of six 24 hour creation days is said to be the only position allowable for Bible believers. To all of you non-Bible believers out there: there are several positions on creationism, so stop pigeon-holing all of us Christians into a 24 hour creation day view. It is obvious from the comments above, not to mention the original article, that there is plenty of illiteracy on the origins topic. What's worse is that it's now used as a silly headline-grabber in order to further polarize an already extremely divided electorate. Why on earth should Rubio's views on origins matter at all for his bid to run for public office? Politico was just asking a question that they planned to make a big deal out of no matter how he answered it.
There are Young Earth Creationists among your midst, Todd. Rubio appears to be one.
"stop pigeon-holing all of us Christians"
Politico pigeon-holed Rubio. Not "all of us Christians."
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth." Proverbs 28:1
Actually the ignorance about what the Bible says and doesn't say about the age of the earth is pervasive even coming from 'pulpits'…..and the subject of common descent or 'undirected' descent of man is a different question.
So much for the value of gottca journalism (but we knew that so why do we respond to it?)…….but the answer is in fact too nuanced for much public discourse today and most people don't read to stave of ignorance. It's too easy to take a grandiose position about something they know next to nothing about…..like many politicians.
How's your Hebrew?
It was a setup question and he knew it. He's says 6000 years, and he's mocked as a flat-earther. He says 4.5 billion years, and the media runs with how he's not in line with his base. He says "I won't answer that question", and the media protrays him as being dishonest. An absolute no-win question. The real problem is that some people take a purely political "gotcha" question, give it false legitimacy, and turn it into some kind of expose.
Those who pose the "gotcha" question, give it false legitimacy and turn it into a political expose are one in the same…
Agreed. But It appears many here waded into the debate anyway, thereby giving it some legitimacy. Whoever was writing for GQ should have been called out as the political hack they are, and there should have been no further debate of the question in regards to Rubio.
Save that for another time and stop abetting the media's attack on political conservatives. The question got the desired traction, so expect more of the same "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" type of questions aimed at conservatives.
News flash. The Bible does not state in any way the age of the Earth or creation. That 6000 year thing is from Bishop Ussher. The 6 day thing is metaphorical/allegorical way of relating a before and after set of events. Besides, the way evolution is presented, it is just a way of saying God did it without referencing God.
