Linux Tools for Voice over IP
This month we'll show you some popular Linux tools for Internet telephony
Voice over IP (VoIP) refers to the set of technologies providing voice communications over TCP/ IP networks. Of course, the biggest TCP/ IP network is the Internet itself, and the ultimate goal of the VoIP industry has always been to find a way to use the Internet for ordinary phone calls. Early VoIP efforts faced several challenges, including quality of service issues, hardware issues, and a general lack of bandwidth. If you've been reading the Internet ads recently, though, you'll have noticed that these issues have largely been addressed. Internet phone services are quickly becoming popular around the world.

Images: Maintenance for Marines not machines [Image 3 of 7]
Photo by Sgt. Deanne Hurla
Marines of Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 362, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), race to disassemble and reassemble an M-4 rifle and M-9 pistol during a weapons relay competition. The competition was one of 10 events held during the Ugly Games. The Marines have worked 65 days without a day off since their arrival in September and the squadron hosted the event to give Marines a break from their day-to-day work routine.

text: Google search gets instant results Technology 08 September 10 by Duncan Geere Google has taken the wraps off a new feature for search called Google Instant, which delivers results instantly as you type, marking the biggest change to its famous homepage in many years.The technology giant has teased the launch for a number of days, playing around with different homepage "doodles", including one which sent coloured balls splashing across the screen. However, in a press conference at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the company finally unveiled the update.As you type into the box, Google will try and work out what you're looking for, based on the letters that you've entered and its vast database of what people usually search for. For a while, the search box has had auto-complete functionality, but now there should be little need to press the "Search" button at all.Google says on a page on its website that people tend to read quickly but type slowly. An average searcher takes more than 9 seconds to enter a search term, and some can take between 30 and 90 seconds to type. Instant chops that average by 2-5 seconds, which might not sound like much to faster typers, but will make a noticible difference to the hunt-and-peckers on the web.Google explains: "If everyone uses Google Instant globally, we estimate this will save more than 3.5 billion seconds a day. That's 11 hours saved every second."Safesearch will be included by default, so you shouldn't see any questionable content if you have that switched on, and the autocomplete also excludes certain violent and pornographic terms, and some hate speech. It won't change the ranking of search results, and can be switched off entirely if you don't like it by visiting your preferences page. Google Instant will be rolling out in the US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia to users of the Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE8 browsers. Extra domains and languages will be added over the next few months. Latest on wired.co.uk

I have an interface which multiple enums are implementing, i.e
public interface MinorCodes {
public abstract int code();
public abstract String description();
public enum IdentityMinorCodes implements MinorCodes {
IDENTITY_UPLOAD_PICTURE_CODE(1, "Error while trying to upload a picture."),
Now I want to have a custom annotation which has a value type of one of these concrete enum values, i.e
public @interface PokenService {
MinorCodes[] exceptions();
But of course I cannot return an interface here.
Does anyone know any solution or workaround to this?
Thanks in advance.

The Press Democrat is reporting that as a condition of employment, the Diocese of Santa Rosa Bishop Robert Vasa is requiring all of its elementary and high school teachers to sign an agreement affirming the Church's teachings, specifically that "modern errors" such as abortion, contraception, euthanasia, and homosexual marriage are "matters that gravely offend human dignity."
"I am simply fulfilling my duty and responsibility to make sure that the Catholic faith, as it is presented in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, is clearly and consistently taught in the Catholic institutions of the Diocese," said Bishop Vasa.
According to language in the document, titled "Bearing Witness," teachers in the diocese affirm that: "I am, by that fact, also a ministerial agent of the Bishop who is the chief 'teacher' of the Diocese."
It asks teachers to "agree that it is my duty, to the best of my ability, to believe, teach/administer and live in accord with what the Catholic Church holds and professes."
"I am especially cognizant of the fact that modern errors -- including but not limited to matters that gravely offend human dignity and the common good such as contraception, abortion, homosexual 'marriage' and euthanasia -- while broadly accepted in society, are not consistent with the clear teachings of the Catholic Church."
Teachers will be expected to sign the addendum to the contract to be hired to return for the 2013-2014 school year. There are approximately 200 educators at 11 Catholic schools employed by the diocese, including Cardinal Newman and St. Vincent de Paul High School. Approximately 25% of the diocese's teachers are non-Catholic. Teachers have until March 15 to declare their intent to work next school year.
Cardinal Newman Principal Graham Rutherford said that he expects most teachers will sign the document.

Images Created by Man & Chaos

|Alan Beck
|Some personal observations on fractal art and artists. "...the fractal artist does not create but explores, does not manufacture but discovers. Instead of being repelled by computers, such adventurers revel in them, as European mariners of old rejoiced in the compass. So thoroughly immersed in their machinery they become an integral part of it, fractal artists are first to know the synthesis of man and machine Western philosophers have long dreamed of but never understood. For the fractal image is the face of chaos, determined at every point yet wholly unpredictable, first-born of reason yet utterly irrational." Images: Reveries, Maze, Angelus.

What If? 2 is a collection of counterfactual essays edited by Robert Cowley that tackles some of the crucial turning points in world history. Among the considerations of how the world might be different if just the right series of events had played out — What if Socrates had died at Delium? What if Great Britain had made peace with Germany in 1940? What if the Allies had failed to crack the German Enigma code machine? — is a largely forgotten war. What if, author Alistair Horne writes, France had turned the other cheek in July of 1870 and not gone to war with Prussia, a state on the brink of becoming a world power under Otto von Bismarck, who would become the first Chancellor of a unified German nation?
It may seem an odd question, but the Franco-Prussian War set the stage for the events of the 20th century, including, of course, the First World War. The months leading up to France's declaration were calm and downright peaceful; in June of that year, British Foreign Secretary Lord Granvilled "gazed out with satisfaction on the world scene and claimed–with reason–that he could not discern 'a cloud in the sky.'" Yet just a month later, "Paris would be besieged and within a few months starved into surrender, while proud France herself lay prostrate and suing for peace with Bismarck's Prussians."
The rising tensions started innocently enough. The Spanish throne had been vacant for two years following the deposing of Queen Isabella, and a faction in Spain had originated the idea of potentially filling the throne with a "German princeling, Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sagmaringen." The idea of having Germans in control of the countries on her western and eastern borders riled France, and the citizenry became inflamed at the perceived injustice. While the Hohenzollern Candidacy would be withdrawn, tensions in France refused to subside. The issue was further agitated by France's foreign secretary, the Duc de Gramont, who "held a personal grudge against Bismarck for having once described him (not unreasonably) as 'the stupidest man in Europe.'" Due to some clever maneuvering on the part of Bismarck, who certainly didn't fear a war with France — indeed, he knew that such a conflict could solidify the weak alliance of Germanic states that he hoped could coalesce into a sovereign nation, led by Bismarck himself — France declared war on July 15.
It would seem that France declaring war on a small state like Prussia would be an easy win, but the French were in no position to possibly win such an altercation. Bismarck's shrewd ability to manipulate the perception of events through his interactions with foreign heads of state and the press meant that France was seen as an unnecessary aggressor, leaving her without a single ally. Furthermore, the Prussians were "the greatest military power that Europe had yet seen,"; they managed to mobilize a force of 1,183,000 solders. On September 1st, 1870, Napoléon III surrendered to King William of Prussia. As quickly as the war had started, it was over.
Jeff Withey, in this particular instance, you are France to Xavier Henry's Prussia. You were in no position to try to draw the charge on Henry, yet you tried to do so anyway. It would be valiant if it weren't so utterly unsuccessful. (Tip o' the hat to SI.com)
Oh, if only you'd not tried to draw the charge, Jeff Withey. What might have been? Might Henry not have sized you up from the start, knowing that you would charge headlong into the fray where he could so readily defeat your best efforts? What if, my friend? What if?
Xavier Henry on The Dunk: "I knew it was Jeff (Withey) … He decided to take a charge and that wasn't the right thing for him"
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) November 13, 2013
Xavier Henry: Otto von Bismarck of the Dunk of the Year (So Far). Welcome to your history lesson, Jeff Withey. Here's hoping — for your sake, at least — that history doesn't repeat itself.

Irving Howe -- Socialist, Critic, Jew (Jewish Literature and Culture)
by Edward Alexander

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0253333644, Hardcover)
"... scrupulous, fair-minded and richly-detailed study... the book charts one of the most remarkable intellectual careers of the 20th century's latter half.... What is most heartening about Mr. Alexander's biography is its exemplary civility and nuance in discussing ideas across the lines of political difference." —Nathan Glick, Washington Times
"Anyone interested in Howe's varied career, and the historical context that has given it its particular shape—American radicalism, the Cold War and anticommunism, the New Left, literary modernism, Jewish life—will profit handsomely from reading Alexander's respectful book." —Wilson Quarterly
"Edward Alexander's captivating study of Irving Howe is illuminating and
"... a singular achievement." —Jerusalem Post
"... a masterpiece" —National Jewish Post and Opinion
"... meticulous scholarship, felicitous writing style and a literate feistiness." —Chicago Jewish Star
"An excellent work of insight and criticism, recommended for academic libraries." —Library Journal
"An insightful, balanced contribution..." —Booklist
"Edward Alexander's estimable intellectual biography... studiously avoids both undue sentimentality and overly harsh censure." —Sanford Pinsker, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Edward Alexander's well-informed and engaging portrait of Irving Howe does full justice to the complexities of mind and the political passions of one of this country's leading intellectuals. This bracing, perceptive study honors Howe's admirable career by treating it with the same high degree of moral seriousness that characterized Howe's own work at its best." —Alvin H. Rosenfeld
Irving Howe, author of ÂWorld of Our Fathers, the prize-winning history of American Jewish immigrant culture, and founding editor of the influential magazine ÂDissent, was for over 50 years a dominant—and controversial—figure in American intellectual life. Through a clear and eloquent study of Howe's politics, writings, and thought, Edward Alexander constructs a sympathetic yet critical intellectual biography of this complex individual.

People near Cleveland, Ohio got a dose of winter Wednesday.
Two inches of snow fell on parts of the region, slowing morning commutes and forcing people to break out their snow shovels. The snow was triggered by a cold air mass that hovered over much of the Northeast, bringing snow to sections of New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Forecasters said the winter blast was a temporary condition.
Temperatures were expected to return to the 60-degree range by Friday (10/31/08).

Strait to the amazing story of today… I had my launch in Three Tomatoes Wood Fired Trattoria, a restaurant in Lebanon, New Hampshire. I was received and invited by Clauson, father of Sean and Laura, people that we worked together in Rwanda and became good friends. It is good to make friends from different parts of the world because you never know where you will be tomorrow … we met in Rwanda and we are together in USA. The first time I met Laura and Sean was in December 2006. They were driving to Bisate Health Center. One year and half later, we are together in USA and I met their whole family. I am sure that the first time we met none of us couldn't imagine that this will happen … the time determines what our souls and minds cannot pretend for the future. We had vegetarian pizza and salad. I have to add on that this restaurant is an Italian one and well known in Lebanon - New Hampshire. Veronica, the Italian researcher we worked together within Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, can love to always attend such restaurant if this was located in Rwanda. My greetings to her and I enjoyed to have Italian food for my today's lunch.

This review is from: HP USB 2.0 8X External Slim Multiformat DVD/CD Writer Model DVD550S
Pros: Bus powered (no power cord)
Cons: Tray loading is a little awkward for a portable drive. Slot load or top load would be preferred, but those are actually available at a higher price. You get what you pay for so don't complain.
Other Thoughts: The ridiculously short USB cable that came with it had two connectors to ensure that the drive gets enough power.

Out of the box winner
This review is from: HP USB 2.0 8X External Slim Multiformat DVD/CD Writer Model DVD550S
Pros: Flawless install on Win 7 Pro X64. Drivers already resident. Did not install accompanying software (have had problems with HP accompanying software in the past). Comlete system: Zotac ZBox, HDMI out to a Samsung 55 in HD TV.
Cons: None for our installation. Uses two USB ports (one for power, one for signal). Has a short (6in.) cord, which is perfect for our setup, as the drive sits on top of the tiny (8 in X 8 in X 1.5 in) ZBox and matches it perfectly.
Other Thoughts: Might not work so well in a different setup, but the short cord is ideal for us. No long wires dangling, and the second port provides extra power that the DVD burner requires.

This review is from: HP USB 2.0 8X External Slim Multiformat DVD/CD Writer Model DVD550S
Pros: I basically bought this drive for my netbook. Although i didn't buy from newegg, so far I'm really satisfied with my purchase. It's quiet, sleek looking, and doesn't require an independent power supply. The drive isn't as fast as a dedicated optical drive, but hey it's to be expected. No more fumbling with thumb drives when i want to do a clean install of windows!
Cons: The included software is junk.

Great Little Drive
This review is from: HP USB 2.0 8X External Slim Multiformat DVD/CD Writer Model DVD550S
Pros: It's small, quiet, fast, and can rip hidden pregap tracks from audio CDs. Works well with Linux.
Cons: Included USB cable is 6" long and will take up 2 USB ports (2nd plug for more power). Using a longer USB cable or a cable that doesn't use a 2nd USB port may be insufficient to power the drive.
Other Thoughts: In order to use an extended USB cable over 3', I have to plug the 2nd plug in to my phone charger to maintain sufficient power.

Brian is the fourth Brohm to play football for the Cardinals. That's right, one father and two brothers before him also chose to wear the red and black of U of L. While some athletes strive to blaze a new path for themselves and make a mark outside of their family ties, Brian Brohm embraces it "My family has always been around me to support me. My brother Jeff has coached me the last four years and Greg has also been around throughout my football days".
In fact, Brian says that his brother Jeff has been the biggest influence in his career "My brother Jeff played the game at a high level and I saw how hard he was able to work to get to where he was". Brian Brohm chose U of L over many top-tiered programs who had also offered scholarships. It didn't hurt that his brother was already on the staff. Jeff Brohm is now in his fifth season with the Cardinals as an assistant coach and is the passing game coordinator.
While this 2007 season has been a bit of a disappointment after winning the Orange Bowl last year, Brohm has remained optimistic, leadership-driven, but most importantly: healthy. From the beginning, Brohm has always been a winner, from his days at

Illegal fishing targeted by 50 nations
La Jolla convention draws global interest
Commercial fisherman Scott Hawkins set out from San Diego in the Jody H last June and spent two days in Mexican waters, where he fished for albacore. He said he idled there to avoid strong winds during a planned voyage some 1,700 miles west in search of tuna on the high seas.
It turned out to be a fateful decision. Late last month, Hawkins and Nathan Lee, captain of companion boat, each pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful fishing and were ordered to pay $500.
They caught what the U.S. attorney's office said was 800 pounds of tuna in Mexico — a minor offense in the shadowy world of illegal fishing. The global, multibillion dollar problem with ties to organized crime is a focal point for representatives of more than 50 nations gathering in San Diego starting Monday to improve marine conservation.
The meetings are part of a dialogue launched in Kobe, Japan, four years ago to better manage the world's far-ranging, high-value fish populations partly by cutting down on illegal catches. The second convention took place two years ago in Spain and the third will be at the Marriott Hotel in La Jolla. Actions from the meetings are nonbinding, but they play into mandates adopted by regional fishery alliances worldwide.
Poaching — technically classified as an illegal, unreported and unregulated harvest — takes many forms. It includes catching crabs before the season starts, taking sea bass from marine reserves, using banned gear for harvest, fishing without a license and keeping tuna that are too small.
"If there are large numbers of people who are breaking the rules, this means we are not really protecting the resource and we are going to run out of fish," said Margot Stiles, a marine scientist at the nonprofit advocacy group Oceana in Washington, D.C.
Curbing poaching is a top priority because the unlawful harvests undermine efforts to manage a huge variety of species. Poaching is of increasing concern as the growing global population puts more demands on the world's oceans for food, and it's of increasing local interest as California makes fishing off-limits in more areas off the state's coastline.
San Diego was chosen for what's called the Kobe III conference because it's home t

•Keeping undersized seafood
o one of five international tuna management organizations, and it was the center of the nation's tuna fleet until environmental concerns capsized the industry in the 1980s. San Diego still has the corporate headquarters of tuna companies Chicken of the Sea and Bumble Bee Foods.
The U.S. delegation will push for several changes aimed at protecting tunas, billfish, swordfish and sharks. One of the ideas officials floated this week is creating a grading system to show how well each country reports catch data to international governing bodies. Another goal is gaining global agreement to stop harvesting overfished species.
"We are trying to sustainably manage these species and in order to do that we need to collect information, analyze that information and make decisions based upon what the science tells us," said Russell Smith, NOAA's deputy assistant secretary for international fisheries.
Estimating the value of ill-gotten seafood is tricky by its nature, but a group of British and Canadian researchers in 2009 said illegal and unreported fishing accounted for 13 percent to 31 percent of nearly 300 case studies analyzed worldwide, with an annual value of $10 billion to $23.5 billion. They said poor controls on fisheries were pervasive, speeding the decline of stocks such as Atlantic bluefin tuna.

A hush-hush S.C. State Ports Authority conference in Greenville targeting potential customers and developers offered complimentary lodging and meals, 50-cents-per-mile driving reimbursement and up to $500 for air travel. The Site Selector's Summit (.pdf) started Monday evening with dinner for about 55 attendees, included a S.C. Inland Port tour Tuesday and ended with a Panama Canal discussion just before noon on Wednesday.
Ports Authority External Affairs Manager Matt Tomsic said during the summit that the programs held at the Hyatt Regency were closed to the media. Tomsic and ports authority spokeswoman Erin Pabst declined to even say how many people attended or identify sponsors of the fee-supported agency's summit, with sponsorships ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. Pabst said the event was aimed at potential ports customers and in an email described it as "essentially a trade conference geared toward economic developers and consultants."
S.C. Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt, who participated in the conference program, said events like the summit benefit the state's economic development efforts by bringing decision-makers and consultants to the state "so they can see it firsthand and interact with existing businesses that are operating successfully in South Carolina."
Janet Ady, president and CEO of Voltedge, a Madison, Wis.-based site selection consultant, said after attending that she made numerous good contacts and the summit was "fantastic, just the quantity and quality of people." She said there were many site selectors and a "lot of employers in the area. Those people were willing to talk to us directly. We kind of had uncensored access to local businesses." She said event sponsors included utilities in the region.
Ady said economic development conferences paying travel and other costs for those who attend is "very common."
"People do this all across the country," she said. They are called "familiarization tours."
Ady, who is working on an agribusiness project in South Carolina, said she and the other summit attendees visited BMW Manufacturing Co. and the S.C. Inland Port, where they "saw product being moved in and out." Norfolk Southern is the inland port's exclusive rail provider and Ady said a rail company representative spoke to the group.
Ady said not allowing the media to attend such economic development conferences is not unusual and beneficial for allowing candid discussions and "to ask our direct questions."
"We wanted to be able to have a frank discussion and maybe talk about a specific project," Ady said. "With the ports authority people, I felt like I could really get an honest answer and opinion. Our clients are looking to avoid risk, and we want to see how they are treating people who are there now."
Tomsic said the summits have been held once or twice a year but this was the first time it was held in Greenville.
"It was unique being up here," he said.
Tomsic said not allowing media access "gives us all a chance to be candid and have discussions about why South Carolina" and the Port of Charleston and inland port are good for businesses to locate in the state. Tomsic said the ports authority may hold another summit later this year.

Learning Arabic has become easier, cheaper and more fun. You have several learning options ranging from books to online instruction.
On this page, we provide some pointers to online resources. You may also find interesting resources in the other links that may appear on this page.
Once you understand the basics, you can start to pick and choose from various resources and providers. This site covers the basics with eleven
online lessons (currently free, see also Arabic alphabet and
common Arabic phrases).
Although the content is a bit old, it is still relevant. We also used to sell The Arabic Tutor
(the first multimedia based computer program to teach Arabic) and provided Easy Arabic as a bonus program. These programs run on old hardware, so we
discontinued them (you can still register Easy Arabic for free if you want to).
Another useful resource is the Arabic content now available on the Internet and through direct TV channels. Newspapers, TV news programs and children channels are good examples and there are so many of these available. Some news services are available in several languages if you prefer to hear and compare (EuroNews is one example). For
vocabulary and translation, you can get good guesses from Google translation.

LBMC to declare bankruptcy?
But hospital says business plan for possible merger with SNCH is not finalized
1 2 3 Next page >
State Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg says that the Long Beach Medical Center will file for bankruptcy as part of a plan to eliminate its debt, as merger talks with South Nassau Communities Hospital continue. But hospital officials say that such talk is premature, and that a business plan has yet to be finalized.
According to Weisenberg, the move to file is one of a number of recommendations made by the state to enable LBMC to merge with SNCH. The newly created entity would have access to Federal Emergency Management Agency funding for a new integrated health delivery system. Weisenberg said he has been lobbying the state to reopen the Long Beach facility.
"South Nassau is coming in, and they don't want to absorb [LBMC's] existing debt," he said. "[LBMC has] no choice — Long Beach Medical is going through a bankruptcy proceeding, while South Nassau and the state Health Department work together to establish an urgent-care center for the people of Long Beach."
Ray Ellmer, a longtime Long Beach resident who sits on the medical center's Board of Trustees, also said that it would file for bankruptcy. "Long Beach is definitely declaring bankruptcy, and it will get rid of some debt," Ellmer said.
In a statement, hospital spokeswoman Sharon Player said that a memorandum of understanding that LBMC signed with South Nassau includes a nondisclosure agreement, which prevents the discussion of details of the negotiations. Player also said that Ellmer was not speaking on behalf of LBMC.
"While negotiations continue with South Nassau Communities Hospital," she said, "no decisions have been made as to the future business plans of Long Beach Medical Center."
One city official, who declined to be identified, said that LBMC had yet to file for bankruptcy. "My guess is that it's seriously being considered," the official said.
The 162-bed hospital closed after 10 feet of water flooded its basement during Hurricane Sandy, causing roughly $100 million in damage. All of the major work to allow two wings to open, including the emergency department, was completed in June.

Does anyone read the New York Post? How long will it take someone at the Herald to remove this comment and they have removed all of my other posting, which were true and accurate and complies with every aspect of the TOS agreement. After you read this, please ask LBMC to post a copy any settlement agreement involving the subject reported in the NY Post article. The following article involving the Long Beach Medical Center Hospital appears on the NY POST website. It's my understanding that Long Beach Medical Center has accepted a settlement agreement since this article appeared on January 6, 2009. How come no one - including our state and local elected officials or the governor are NOT asking questions about the conduct alleged in the lawsuit or the settlement agreement. Congress enacted the Bankruptcy Code to easy the burdens of the poor but honest debtor and to offer a fresh start free of the burdens of debt. Do some basic research and learn more about this lawsuit and then decide if LBMC deserves the protection of the Bankruptcy Code. According to an article on liherald.com, State Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg says that the Long Beach Medical Center will file for bankruptcy as part of a plan to eliminate its debt, as merger talks with South Nassau Communities Hospital continue

Two hospital workers helped uncover an alleged Medicaid drug-treatment scam that prosecutors say has cheated taxpayers out of $50 million, The Post has learned.
The heroic whistleblowers in the fraud case – first reported in yesterday's Post – are Enrico Montaperto, a former social worker involved in patient admissions at Parkway Hospital, and Dr. Mathew Gelfand, the director of Long Beach Medical Center's outpatient methadone treatment.
No criminal charges were filed against the seven New York hospitals named, but the state Attorney General's Office and Brooklyn federal prosecutors have filed two suits alleging a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme.
A spokesman for state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo declined to comment on why his office didn't file criminal charges, but authorities can collect triple the financial damages in civil cases and can also close a facility.
Montaperto alleged that medical personnel were not even involved in patients' screening.
"The initial admitting assessments were conducted by nonmedical personnel by completing forms initially created and provided by SpecialCare," he said in recently unsealed court papers.
SpecialCare Hospital Management Corp. is a national firm that had contracts to steer drug addicts to the hospitals, a practice that the state and the feds charge amounted to illegal kickbacks.
SpecialCare is a defendant in the case along with six hospitals: Downtown in Manhattan, Parkway in Queens, Long Beach Medical Center, St. Joseph's Medical Center in Yonkers, Columbia Memorial in Hudson and Benedictine in Kingston.
North Shore Division of Montefiore Medical Center in The Bronx – which was Our Lady of Mercy when it was allegedly involved – settled with prosecutors for $4.5 million and was removed as a defendant.
"Not only did said personnel have no medical training, but they had no formal education, licensing or certification in the field of alcohol and substance abuse," Montaperto said.
He also claimed medical records were "fabricated or routinely exaggerated" to allow patients who were not hard-core addicts to meet admission requirements. Dr. Warren Licht, a supervisor of Downtown Hospital's detox program, allegedly told officials the program opened to accommodate an increase in drug-addict admissions, when, in fact, the hospital was actually advertising to lure patients.
Gelfand suspected something was amiss because patients were not sent to outpatient clinics for subsequent treatment.
"The New Vision program is in fact a facade for a patient-referral scheme," Gelfand said in court papers.
The hospitals and SpecialCare have all denied wrongdoing.

The following are my opinions afar reading the Herald article, "LBMC to declare bankruptcy"
Does anyone else see a problem with this direct quote, ""Ellmer said that he and other trustees learned about the bankruptcy proceedings from Chief Executive Officer Doug Melzer two months ago, at a monthly meeting." Where have the members of the Board of Trustees been? There are some very successful member of the board with board business experience. LBMC is considering bankruptcy and Chief Executive Officer Doug Melzer is making that decision on his own……
Chief Executive Officer Doug Melzer has been not been seen or heard in the public eye for over a year, while the hospital remained closed, the employees were terminated without payment of accused benefits, and the hospital went ahead with multimillion dollar repairs and now Doug tells the board its time to file for bankruptcy…..
There is something wrong here folks. Where has Doug been, vacation? How many vacations, how many promotions to staff to run a non-existent hospital? It's time for full disclosure! Did the board authorize a payment of close to $200,000 for some type of work in the ER with the funds to be "borrowed" from the $6M grant from SNCH allegedly to pay a vendor that is related to a member of the board of trustees - In the Bankruptcy field thats called a preference since it treats this creditor differently that other creditors. It also raises some suspicions for the need for a forensic accounting, at least in my mind.
How much is the fine for LBMC negotiated discussed in the NY Post Article on January 6, 2009, "Two hospital workers helped uncover an alleged Medicaid drug-treatment scam that prosecutors say has cheated taxpayers out of $50 million, The Post has learned.
The heroic whistleblowers in the fraud case – first reported in yesterday's Post – are Enrico Montaperto, a former social worker involved in patient admissions at Parkway Hospital, and Dr. Mathew Gelfand, the director of Long Beach Medical Center's outpatient methadone treatment."
What are your thoughts? Please share and let's get a dialogue started on this important issue - Long Beach needs a hospital run by new trustees and new administrators, please let speak out if you share my opinions or if you disagree….

Yoga Teacher Barbie Bends Children's Advocates Out of Shape
Does controversy exist on its own or do we wait until the media tells us that we need to get hot and bothered about something?
Either way, the latest catalyst for consumer outrage is the new Yoga Teacher Barbie. She's part of an exclusive line of Barbies in the "I Can Be…" series from Mattel and you can only find her in Target stores. The series isn't new. Back in 2010, the brand ran an online voting competition to choose two Barbies for the series. The winners were a news anchor and computer engineer. The whole idea, according to Barbie.com, is to "ignite a national movement to inspire girls." Who wouldn't want to get on board with that?
Apparently it takes a twisty-legged, spandex-dressed doll to stir up a little unnecessary controversy. Just in time for the election year and the Olympics, the "I Can Be" series also includes a president and a tennis player, track star, swimmer, and gymnast. But it's the yoga teacher that's got people bent out of shape.
Chelsea Roff at IntentBlog.com said "Kids are being exposed to yoga at an early age, encouraged to stay active, and taught about mind-body awareness practices before they even hit kindergarten. All good things! But something about seeing that sickly-proportioned doll's foot behind her head just makes me cringe. As if the stereotypes of yoga weren't bad enough already, now kids are implicitly being taught that yoga teachers look like a big-headed Pam Anderson."
We didn't see it that way. We, like Kathryn Budig, saw a doll. Just a toy that lets little girls' imaginations run wild.

This month's matchmaking finds three wine strategies for seared scallops and buttery herb sauce.
Match #3: A Dry, Sparkling Wine
A brut sparkler delivers palate-cleansing bubbles and a touch of tartness to liven up the scallops.
ZEROING IN: When it comes to sparkling wine, nonvintage (NV) brut is the most food-friendly, and there are plenty of terrific values made in the traditional Champagne method coming out of California. Look for bruts using all or mostly chardonnay grapes, which deliver zippy acidity and just enough richness to handle both the buttery sauce and the robust roasted beans.

Eyeballin' this puppy.
Eyeballin' this puppy.
None with the Dew Plus, but I just got a 2010 Dr Dew a bit over a week ago and I love it!
I have an '05 Dew Deluxe(they didn't have the Plus back then) which is pretty much the same bike. It's a sweet ride.
C'dale BBU('05 and '09)/Super Six/Hooligan8and 3,Kona Dew Deluxe,Novara Buzz/Safari,Surly Big Dummy,Marin Pt Reyes,Giant Defy 1,Schwinn DBX SuperSport,Dahon Speed Pro TT,Brompton S6L/S2E-X
Quick, comfortable, pretty light. Makes short work of 10 to 20 miles riding, don't even feel it afterward, all in all an excellent buy. And yes, please don't listen to those that say that MX4's don't stop well; they work fine, more than adequate in my experience. You wont launch yourself OTB with one finger squeeze like a hydro brake can, but you can still do that with two fingers, seriously.
If you want a quick commute bike that can haul ass almost as fast as a roadie, while being much more comfortable, go for it. Also, the parts are quite good, not top of the line, but pretty good. This is a city almost-race bike
Could have had a Dew Plus but my local REI did not carry it when I was asking for it due to distributor/dealer restrictions that applied in their case. For 2010, REI dropped the Kona line completely since I don't see it in their website bike listings.
It looks like a really nice bike!
As an aside, it's nice to see you slummin, down here, Siu......
"Retirement is the best job I ever had!" Me, 2009
Specialized Crosstrail Sport - '08
Nishiki Sport - misappropriated from my youngest son (circa 1984)
Marin Stinson - misappropriated by my youngest grandson - '01
"The Beast" - 1990 Schwinn Airdyne (in the basement for winter torture)
Feature set, fit, value, and general approval of how Kona has real variety in their bike lines. They have a good number of bikes (like my Dr. Dew, and the Dr. Fine I wish I could've gotten) that are a little unusual but are clearly designed for specific niches.
I got my '06 Kona Smoke (only bike I own) because the LBS gave me 30% off. I'm not too thrilled with the gearing, but otherwise, the thing is bombproof.
Ofc there were prettier bikes to look at, lighter bikes, bikes with front suspension. But I do not want any of these features, because having a suspension means one more thing to break down on the open road, and, to be frank, most of those cheap suspension forks are actually far worse then a good cromoly fork as far as riding is concerned. Bling factor in design also comes with a price, and that price is expressed in weird frame shapes that do not lend themselves well to loaded touring - no rack attachment points, no fender attachment points, etc. Lighter frames are on the other hand more fragile, and since I'm not lookin to win world lightest bike competition, a few pounds more or less means nothing to me, but it does mean a lot for durability and strenght of the frame.
There are other reasons why I choose Kona, but these are the main ones. I always look at the intended use of the bike, determine what features are important to me in a bike, and then choose accordingly to that criteria. This bike fullfills exactly that what I was looking for.
And yes, it is fast, alsmost as fast as a road bike, only much more comfortable, fit is excellent.

I have a 2009 Dew Plus and I love it.
My GF had a Trex Fx picked out a few weeks before a big LBS sale.
We went and tried it out but the frame size was just a little off. I also rode the Specialized Sirrus which was nice.
We went to another LBS to try out the Cannondale Quick.
The Kona was right by the door and it caught her eye. I rode the Cannondale and then asked about the Kona and gave it a spin......rode the Cannondale again.....rode the Kona again.....rode the Kona again......went home with the Kona.
It just felt the best out of all the bikes I rode. No regrets.
Sorry I can't compare all the components and what not between all the bikes. No expert here at all.
For me...it just felt the best.
I have an 06 Dew Deluxe... (real bikes are blue). Test rode Treks, Cannondale, and as I recall a Giant something or other. I essentially chose the shop based on my experiences and ended up at a Kona/Jamis dealer. (Best rapport with the owner, and friendliest shop dog!) I opted for the Kona Dew Deluxe (equivalent to the current Dew Plus) over the Jamis Coda... just felt better.
Only changes from stock are personal preferences... Brooks B-17 saddle, clipless/platform pedals (Shimano M-324), and several iterations of handlebars, settling on Velo Orange Milan bars.
Lots of great bikes out there... the Kona Dews are certainly something to be considered. Besides, everyone else has a Trek!

I think they're great bikes, though I don't have one. If the LBS had the right model in my size, and in a color I liked, I might have bought one last year. The Dew line seems great.
I eventually got a Felt X City, which I simply love. I also have a Trek 7.3 FX, and it is a great bike.
So I guess my point is that you should buy the one you like best. I don't really think either is better than the other. They're just different.
You just gotta look harder --------------------- no Treks in my stable.

The Bucks in their infinite wisdom have decided the guy who does a little of everything pretty well but nothing really well and often something very poorly must go. And you know what that means?
Villanueva is one of those perfect combinations of above average talent, stifled by inconsistency and a lack of focus, but who can go absolutely NOVA for short stretches. If HP had a crest, his bald head would be on it.
His options are pretty wide, now. He can go with a championship contender for less money, or a rebuilding program for the bank. That's a win win.
With his Twitter escapades and likable personality, he could fit in nicely in Cleveland, and it would mean that they would never again have to suffer through the following phrase: "Starting at Power Forward, from under the bridge downtown, Andy Varejao!"
I suppose what makes V-Nuv so endearing to me is that he's one of those players that seems to be trying all the time, even though the results don't necessarily reflect that. He'll slam down a terrific put-back, or nail a transition pull-up, or get a great falling away block, and then the next play he'll get torched, or brick up a wide open baseline J. It's not a matter of effort or intensity, he's just not a player that puts it all together. He's a well meaning incomplete player. And his Tweets reflect that, in his discussion of naps and his passion for UConn. He's the kind of player that fans can get behind if they can stop wishing he'd knock himself unconscious to slam some sense into him. He's long, athletic, talented, and confused, drifting, overzealous. And that's the type of player that goes into free agency in a weak year and walks out with a big fat contract.
V-Nuv is feasting on the undercurrent, and it tastes good.
For the Bucks? Hey, you don't really need a power forward in this league. There are only about 700 explosive good ones.

Call Now! 800-498-1750
There are many different warranties available from many different manufacturers. Most of these warranties apply to pre-finished engineered and solid wood floors. It would be impossible to list them all but we will explain some of the more common warranties and what they mean to you.
This warranty covers the structural integrity of the wood floor. Most major manufacturers now a days give a lifetime structural warranty. This warranty basically states that the wood floor won't come apart or "de-laminate" if it is an engineered/laminated wood floor. Nowadays, most all wood floors come with a lifetime structural warranty.
If a wood floor is a glue-down product, it is important that you have bond warranty. This warranty is usually only valid if you use the manufacturers' recommended adhesive. The warranty is usually based in part on the adhesive as well. Some manufacturers will state you can only use their brand name adhesives, while others will give you a list of acceptable adhesives. We highly recommend that you follow these guidelines exactly.
This warranty is usually the same as, combined with, or directly effected by the bond warranty mentioned above. In most cases it refers to moisture getting up into the wood floor from the sub-floor. In some cases it may refer to how well a wood floor finish deflects moisture.
If it is a solid wood floor and not an engineered/laminated wood floor, this warranty is usually valid only if you apply the correct moisture barrier, such as a plastic sheeting, prior to the installation. Some warranties specify that you perform a moisture test prior to doing the installation, and use correct adhesive.
The moisture test methods vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and usually apply to concrete sub-floors. These warranties usually range from five years and up.
There are more types of wear warranties than any other. They can range from no warranty at all, to a lifetime warranty, and cover a wide scope of problems. Some of the wear warranties refer to wearing of the finish, while others refer to the actual wearing of the wood itself, while still others are a combination of both.
We can tell you that unless you're purchasing a very thin or very soft product, the wood itself seldom wears away. It is really the finish you need to be concerned with. If the finish is not of good quality, you will have many problems, and unexpected maintenance costs in the future. For example, if you purchase an engineered/laminated wood floor that can only be refinished a limited amount of times, and you don't have a good finish on that product, you will be seriously cutting down the life of that floor.
Certain wood floors have warranties that apply specifically to commercial use and some only apply to residential use. It is important that you select a wood floor with the appropriate warranty to fit your specific needs. Wood floors with warranties that apply to commercial applications are usually constructed to withstand heavy traffic on a constant basis.
NOTE: As a foot note, keep some things in mind when reviewing warranties. Warranties sometimes contain language that can be confusing or misleading. For example, there are some key words you need to understand. If a warranty states that a wood floor is dent or scratch "resistant," this means it was constructed to resist dents or scratches, it does not mean it is dent or scratch "proof." Some of the warranties that cover wear may be based on a time period such as a "five-year wear warranty."
It is important that you review these warranties to see what specific clauses may apply. For example, it may have a percentage clause where it states the finish won't wear more than 10% in the first year, 20% in the second year, and so on. If it did wear within those mentioned tolerances, then according to that warranty, it would be considered "normal wear."
Sometimes these type of warranties also have a percentage built in to them on the claim end as well. For example, if there is a problem with the wood floor after the first year, then you will be allowed a 90% replacement reimbursement, after the second year a 80% replacement reimbursement, etc. In addition, some of the warranties cover only the replacement of the product and no allowance for labor.
Our experience has been that if you stay with one of the major manufacturers such as BRUCE, KAHRS, AWARD, ANDERSON, MANNINGTON, HARTCO, HARRIS-TARKETT, ROBBINS, MIRAGE, UNIVERSAL, etc., and you purchase one of their medium to better products, then you can usually be comfortable in the fact that you are properly covered if there is a problem.
Obviously almost all of these warranties will be void if the installation is not performed correctly. In addition, any wood floor that is labeled a "cabin grade," "second quality," or any other term that labels it to be other than first quality material, will usually carry no warranty whatsoever.

Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Suffolk County (Hudson, J.), rendered January 24, 2012, convicting her of endangering the welfare of a child, after a nonjury trial, and imposing sentence.
ORDERED that the judgment is reversed, on the law, the indictment is dismissed, and the matter is remitted to the County Court, Suffolk County, for the purpose of entering an order in its discretion pursuant to CPL 160.50.
The defendant was convicted of endangering the welfare of a child after she injected a dog with a tranquilizer in the presence of a child. Viewed in the light most favorable to the People (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621), the evidence failed to establish that witnessing the injection of the tranquilizer was likely to result in harm to the physical, mental, or moral welfare of the child (see Penal Law § 260.10[1]; People v Hitchcock, 98 NY2d 586, 590-591). There was no evidence demonstrating that the child was aware, at the time she witnessed the injection, that the defendant intended to euthanize the dog later that day, or that she was upset by seeing the dog receive the tranquilizer injection. The child was familiar with medical treatments requiring injections, as she had seen her own pet dog injected on many occasions to treat his diabetes. Consequently, the evidence supporting the defendant's conviction was not legally sufficient (see People v Contes, 60 NY2d at 621).
In light of our determination, we need not address the defendant's remaining contentions.

Soccer Drops Horizon League Opener At Detroit, 2-0
Sept. 19, 2004
Detroit, Mich.- On the road for the sixth time in seven games, the University of Illinois at Chicago soccer team faced a tough task on Sunday when they faced Detroit at Titan Field.
Despite posting a 4-0-2 record since 1998 against the Titans, UIC put a much younger team on the field against a more experienced Detroit squad this time around.
After a solid defensive first half, the Flames could not get anything going offensively in the final 45 minutes as Detroit scored two unanswered second period goals for a 2-0 victory over UIC in the Horizon League opener.
The Flames (1-6-0, 0-1 Horizon League) held the host Titans scoreless for the first 45 minutes, thanks to three saves by netminder Jeff Engelbrecht.
But Detroit (3-2-0, 1-0 Horizon League) struck in the 53rd minute as senior Ablaye Camara took Aaron Smith's pass and shot it past Engelbrecht for the 1-0 lead.
The Titans put the game away in the 89th minute when Andrew Ornoch took Michael De Simone's cross and converted for the insurance goal.
Detroit's Sasha Boskovic made four saves, including two in the second half to prevent a UIC comeback.
Pavle Dundjer led the way with four shots, including one against goal.
UIC returns to the road on Wednesday when the Flames face Marquette in Milwaukee, Wis. Game time is 7:00 p.m.

This review is from: Plantronics 81962-21 81962-21 audio 478 usb pc head
Pros: Lightweight, fold into a compact, reasonable bundle; sound quality for headphones is adequate. Mic quality also adequate and probably both above average for the price.
Cons: I have a large head and found the comfort level less than desirable with no way to further adjust the width of the headset without having to do something drastic. The light weight is achieved by using all plastic which seems sturdy enough for careful use but only time will tell how they stand up. Only reasons they didn't get 5 starts from me is the fit issue and the plastic build.

'Elementary' Stars Talk Holmes-Watson Romance
There's no mystery too tough to solve for Sherlock Holmes, and in the upcoming issue of TV Guide, Elementary's Jonny Lee Miller (Sherlock) and Lucy Liu (Joan Watson) crack open the series' biggest mystery: will Sherlock and Watson ever become romantically involved?
"The writers are pretty adamant that shouldn't happen" says Jonny, "and I have to agree...you've got to leave room for that tension and possibility, which are so strong in people's minds. If you take that away, what are you left with?"
Lucy likewise thinks it's a bad idea for the two characters to hit the sack, likening a Sherlock-Watson coupling to visiting a nude beach where nothing is left to the imagination. "But when you go to an actual beach and people have bikinis on, there's something more sexual," she says. "So this is a much more interesting dynamic."
Meanwhile, Lucy reveals that just because Watson won't be hooking up with Sherlock doesn't mean she won't be getting any action. "I do have some [love interests] this season," she says. "That's to dilute the question mark of what's going to happen between [Sherlock and Watson], and it will also show a bit of her awkwardness or lack of confidence in that department."
Elementary airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. EST/PST on Global.

Video: USAFA Supports Vigilant Guard
Video by Kevin Conroy and Jon Zanone
The Air Force Academy recently hosted a portion of the national 'Vigilant Guard' exercise. The exercise brought together army national guard units and local county search and rescue personnel. Jon Zanone has more. Also available in high definition WHEN AN AIRCRAFT GOES DOWN (MOAN) IT TAKES A TEAM TO RESCUE THE SURVIVORS. IN THIS CASE, THE TEAM WAS MADE UP OF ELEMENTS FROM THE COLORADO ARMY NATIONAL GUARD, THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY AND THE LOCAL EL PASO COUNTY SHERIFF'S SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM. THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER ON THE GROUNDS OF THE AIR FORCE ACADEMY TO EXERCISE THEIR ABILITY TO WORK TOGETHER. LT. COL. (COLORADO ARMY NATIONAL GUARD) MITCH UTTERBACK, EXERCISE PLANNER: "AND A SIGNIFICANT GOAL OF THIS EXERCISE IS JUST TO KEEP WORKING TOGETHER AND STAY FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHER, UNDERSTAND EACH OTHERS TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES AND PROCEDURES EVEN BETTER". SINCE THE TWO THOUSAND TWELVE WALDO CANYON WILDFIRE GRAZED THE ACADEMY, FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE DEVELOPED PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER. THAT TRANSLATES TO A MORE FOCUSED RESPONSE. RON HELGERSON, ACADEMY FIRE CHIEF: "I JUST WORKED WITH THEM AT THE BLACK FOREST FIRE, AND WE'VE HAD SOME OTHER INCIDENTS RECENTLY, WHERE IT'S THE SAME FOLKS. AND ITS REALLY ENHANCED OUR ABILITY TO DELIVER, WHETHER EMS CARE, OR FIRE SUPPRESSION RESOURCES OR RESCUE CAPABILITIES ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE. IT'S NOT JUST ON THE ACADEMY". UTTERBACK: SO IN THE EVENT SOMETHING HAPPENS FOR REAL, WE JUST ROLL RIGHT INTO IT. WE KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND WE KNOW THE PEOPLE ON OUR LEFT AND RIGHT AND WHAT THEIR CAPABLE OF DOING. THAT AWARENESS OF EACH OTHER'S CAPABILITIES SHOWED DURING THE MULTI-AGENCY RESPONSE TO THE BLACK FOREST FIRE. UTTERBACK: "IF THERE WAS ANY RED TAPE IN BLACK FOREST, NOBODY SAW IT. BECAUSE THINGS WERE HAPPENING SO QUICKLY, COMPARED RELATIVELY TO THE RESPONSE TIME FROM LAST SUMMER." HELGERSON: "AND IT REALLY IS NEAT TO HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT AGENCIES WORKING TOGETHER DAY TO DAY, SO THAT WHEN WE HAVE A REAL INCIDENT, WE'RE REALLY JUST PLUGGING AND PLAYING AND GETTING OUT THERE TO THE PATIENT WHO NEEDS THE CARE." JON ZANONE, THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX CENTENNIAL, Colo. (7/21/13) – The Colorado National Guard is in the initial phase of a large-scale, multi-state, multi-agency emergency response exercise in the Denver and Colorado Springs metropolitan areas. Named "Vigilant Guard," the exercise will officially begin July 22 in Colorado Springs and is focused on interagency coordination in preparation for domestic emergencies and catastrophic events. July 22 exercises will include a mock plane crash and a search and rescue mission hosted by the U.S. Air Force Academy Fire Department and taking place at their training area. Colorado Army National Guard helicopters will insert military and civilian first responders and K-9s into a remote location, where responders will be conducting a search-and-rescue mission involving a simulated downed aircraft. Moulaged patients will receive medical treatment from interagency responders. Patients will then be transported via Colorado National Guard Humvee ambulances to a simulated hospital on Fort Carson. Additionally, Army National Guard helicopters and Fort Carson firefighters will conduct water drop training operations at Fort Carson. The training will emphasize air-ground communications. The entire week's exercise scenarios, which have been planned since 2011, are based on a wildland fire with urban interface, and will include severe weather including tornadoes. Just as they would in real life, these notional events will create a number of consequences that will require emergency intervention. Participants will exercise their knowledge of and expertise in storm damage assessment; hazmat identification, abatement and decontamination; search and rescue; patient extraction; triage; medevac; and other emergency-response measures. Sponsored by U.S. Northern Command in conjunction with the National Guard Bureau, Vigilant Guard will provide the Colorado National Guard and supporting military units an opportunity to improve cooperation and operational relationships with their local, state, private sector, non-governmental organizations and federal partners. National Guard units from Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming will be participating. Locations for the exercise will be: July 22: Colorado National Guard Joint Operations Center, Fort Carson Airfield and U.S. Air Force Academy Fire Department July 23 Media Day: Colorado National Guard Joint Operations Center, North Metro Fire Training Complex, Denver Health Medical Center, Community College of Aurora, Exempla St. Joseph Hospital and Bonfils Blood Center More specific details about this day, including the most visually stimulating events and times, will be released separately. July 24: Colorado National Guard Joint Operations Center, North Metro Fire Training Complex, West Metro Fire Training Center, North Suburban Medical Center, University of Denver, Denver International Airport, Community College of Aurora July 25: Colorado National Guard Joint Operations Center, North Metro Fire Training Complex, Porter Adventist Hospital, Pepsi Center, Dick's Sporting Goods Park July 26: Colorado National Guard Joint Operations Center

Nick Cannon Hosting Style's Reboot of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous
Nick Cannon is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the hosting world.
Host of America's Got Talent and Wild N' Out, Nick is now heading over to the Style Network, since he has been tapped to serve as host on Style's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Back in February, Style revived Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, which was originally hosted by Robin Leach in the 1980s and '90s, bringing Nick up to historical levels, as he will host and executive produce the show.
"Nick is both aspirational and accessible — key qualities of the Style brand. He is extremely talented with a grounded personality and style that a wide-range of viewers have come to appreciate and respect. Nick's comedic and down-to-earth perspective on the opulence of the wealthy makes him the ideal host as we reinvent this pop culture classic," Style Media president Salaam Coleman Smith said. "With Nick's humorous insight, Style will give viewers front-row access to how today's wealthy live, paying homage to the originalLifestyles in a fresh, fun and irreverent way.
The reboot will start production in the fall and will take America into the homes of the famous — think Cribs, but the one the started it all.
"To be a part of Style's reimagination of this iconic show and follow in the footsteps of the legendary Robin Leach is a dream come true," Cannon said. "Even though I am fortunate to have certain luxuries, sometimes, I am even amazed by what people with money have and do. I want to remind people that just because you might be rich and famous, it doesn't mean you have to take yourself too seriously."
A premiere date for Lifestyles has not yet been announced.

I believe we are of similar age and I totally agree with what you say, putting paid to the idea that oldies are hurt by swearing.
I think the most hilarious thing though is that while 'grown-up' newspapers usually print exactly what is said, the red-tops use asterisks instead for words like 'fork' or 'slit' or 'clot' - I assume that's what they mean to say.
Even funnier is that an internet site called crash.net sees fit to be nanny and insists on doing the same in articles and posts.
Regarding James Hunt. He was a well known user of weed. Murray would say that James had just popped out to 'walk round the circuit' when he slipped out for a crafty joint...
