Bogus cancer drug not in Western Pennsylvania
Western Pennsylvania hospitals and oncologists checked supplies of the anti-cancer drug Avastin on Wednesday because of concern that counterfeits missing the essential ingredients entered the U.S. market, but none appeared to reach Pittsburgh.
Roche subsidiary Genentech, which makes the drug for treating brain, lung, kidney and colorectal cancers, said counterfeit versions were found and officials were working with the Food and Drug Administration to determine the origin and destinations. The drug generates about $6 billion a year for Switzerland-based Roche.
The FDA believes the counterfeit drugs came from a foreign supplier, Quality Special Products, also known as Montana Health Care Solutions, and were distributed through Gainesboro, Tenn.-based Volunteer Distribution.
UPMC's hospitals and doctors obtain all supplies from another distributor, said Dr. Adam Brufsky, associate director of the UPMC Cancer Institute.
"We'll do spot-checks, random checks, anyway, just to be sure. We already had our head of pharmacy check into it (Wednesday) morning," Brufsky said. "We probably are the biggest user in the entire region, given our volume."
The West Penn Allegheny Health System also uses a different supplier, Cardinal, said spokeswoman Stephanie Waite.
"Of course, our pharmacists are exercising additional caution because of the warning," she said.
St. Clair Hospital in Mt. Lebanon stocks a limited supply of Avastin, said spokesman Robert Crytzer, and buyers for the hospital checked the stock when they became aware of the FDA warning. They found none of the counterfeit drug, he said.
Genentech officials said the fake vials do not contain Avastin's key ingredient and are neither effective nor safe. The counterfeit packaging lists Roche as manufacturer, not Genentech, and has text in French on outer packaging.
The FDA sent letters to 19 doctors and medical centers in California, Texas and Illinois, warning they might have purchased cancer medicines from Volunteer Distribution that could include counterfeit Avastin. The letters noted that QSP/Montana Health Care Solutions provided other medications from foreign sources that the FDA did not approve. The agency urged doctors to stop using those medications.
Except when there are shortages of U.S.-made drugs, the FDA discourages the purchase of foreign versions of agency-approved drugs. Although Avastin is approved for treatment of brain, lung, colorectal and kidney cancers, the FDA withdrew its approval of using the drug to treat breast cancer in November because of dangerous side effects.

Pundits believe that Chris Gayle is a batsman born to take bowlers to the cleaners and the T20 format was tailormade for the Jamaican. But that wasn't always the case, as evidenced by his struggles in his first couple of seasons of the Indian Premier League for Kolkata Knight Riders.
But in his three seasons for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gayle has amassed 1,907 runs including four hundreds and 13 fifties. If that isn't enough proof of his prowess, he hit a breathtaking 30-ball hundred against Pune Warriors India.
Speaking to MAIL TODAY, Venkatesh Prasad — assistant coach for the Royal Challengers — feels that the attitude in the team is what makes Gayle click.
"Gayle likes to be in his zone and we have left him there. He is enjoying himself both on and off the field. And the best thing about him is that he is a true professional.
He knows what needs to be done and when. Switching on and off is no issue for him," Prasad said.
"Also, the boys are pushing everyone in the team for a place in the playing XI and it is a terrific atmosphere. Everyone talks about Gayle winning us so many matches, but I feel it goes both ways. I feel the best thing to have happened to him is playing for RCB. The reason is very simple.
We don't put undue pressure on him." While critics feel that Virat Kohli is too young to be made skipper of the Indian national team, those who have seen him lead Bangalore in the IPL would definitely agree that he has done a spectacular job.
Agreed that Bangalore haven't been as convincing in away matches, but be it Kohli's ' never say die' approach on the field or the brash attitude with which he smashes opposition bowlers, Kohli has definitely shown he can walk the talk.
"Kohli has been awesome. Not only is he a very positive person, but his influence also rubs off on the others. He is aggressive, throws himself around and most importantly has developed an attitude of ' play to win' not only for himself, but also for the others in the team. And when it comes to his batting, I feel his record [405 runs at a strike- rate of 129.39 in 12 matches] speaks for itself," the former India mediumpacer said.
"It is a well-balanced team with a right mix of youth and experience and I feel that Kohli has not only ensured that the players go on to the field with a lot of confidence, but also the team hasn't dwelled too much about the losses." While RCB have two quality fast bowlers in R. Vinay Kumar and R. P. Singh, it is no surprise that the team has missed the experience of Zaheer Khan in the death overs and in pressure situations.
Death bowling let them down against SunRisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings.
Once again against Kings XI Punjab, things could have been very different if Zaheer was part of the bowling attack — when David Miller did a Gayle himself, scoring a 38-ball 100.
But Prasad assured that Zaheer is making rapid progress and he would be a part of the playing XI in some time.
"Zak is coming out of injury and has shown a lot of improvement.
While it will still take a while for him to make it back to the field, he has been tremendous off the field. But he will definitely play this season. Off the field, he is willing to not only share his knowledge, but also show the skills he has up his sleeves. He has been very valuable for us — off the field," he said.
Pundits believe that Chris Gayle is a batsman born to take bowlers to the cleaners and the T20 format was tailormade for the Jamaican. But that wasn't always the case, as evidenced by his struggles in his first couple of seasons of the Indian Premier League for Kolkata Knight Riders.

Supervisor Candidates Face Tough Questions
Oskaloosa, Iowa – Candidates for Mahaska County Supervisor gathered at Smokey Row in Oskaloosa on Thursday evening to answer questions generated by community members.
Republican candidates, Joe Warrick, Henry "Willie" Van Weelden and Mark Doland were on hand, while Democrat candidate Jeff Foster was not in attendance after bowing out the day before the event, citing family commitments.
Oskaloosa Mayor Dave Krtuzfeldt moderated the evening hosted by Oskaloosa News and The Sun.
The group of candidates answered questions given to the group as a whole, as well as targeted questions for each independent candidate. Group questions about support for the regional airport, the Highway 63 Coalition and if cooperation between the towns and county are important.
Each candidate faced tough questions from the community.
Van Weelden answered the question, "You were convicted of crimes in court, but then later found not guilty. What is the status of your case, and how will that impact your ability to be a supervisor?"
Van Weelden responded, "I believe I was found innocent and I go forward with my life, and this is part of it… I was found innocent."
For Doland, members of the community wanted to know, "How would you respond to allegations that your absence from meetings involving mental health region and 10-15 transit have had a negative impact on Mahaska County and its residents.
Doland responded, "I would like to know where the allegations came from. I just came from a 10-15 meeting today." Doland said while he has been on that board he helped facilitate finding a bus that would be used on the route.
"Sometimes meetings are double scheduled so you can't make it to both," said Doland.
Warrick answered the question, "You are a board member of the regional airport, appointed by the previous Mahaska County Board of Supervisors. If elected, do you believe you will be biased towards the project or will you have an open mind?"
Warrick stated, 'Well I figure I have an open mind towards the project." Warrick wanted a bit more clarification on the subject by Krutzfedt.
"I cannot envision a conflict that would come about, because, as I see it, not only is it [airport] beneficial to the community," including the cities of Pella and Oskaloosa. "It will be beneficial to the county too."
The primary election will be June 3rd, with two supervisor seats being decided.

The Buffalo Sabres had a two-goal lead in the second period of tonight's game, but allowed it to slip away as they were defeated by the Florida Panthers 4-3.
Thomas Vanek opened the scoring early in the first period after a pretty between-the-legs pass from Jason Pominville found him in the slot. Cody Hodgson buried a nifty Vanek pass later in the period to give the Sabres a 2-1 lead in the first period. They were able to extend that lead in the second period when Alexander Sulzer scored on a rocket shot from the point. Unfortunately for the Sabres, they weren't able to continue to build on the momentum they created.
"We had our opportunities in the second period to put them away," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said after the game. "The breakaway, and the three or four point-blank opportunities when it was 3-1."
The breakaway Ruff mentioned was by Tyler Ennis, who split the Florida defense, but was unable to put it past Jose Theodore. After the Sabres squandered their opportunities, the Panthers capitalized on theirs.
"We were really skating well, and we made a mistake on our blueline again, that allowed them the odd-numbered rush, which hurt us," Ruff said.
The Sabres also continued a troubling trend by allowing Florida to score with less than a minute to go in the second period which tied the game. Ruff says that although the team has made a habit of allowing late goals, this one in particular didn't break the team's spirit.
"I don't think the spirit was broken," Ruff said. "We played a lot of hockey in the last three to four days. I think that some of our top guys, when the shift got a bit long, didn't have much left. It hurts, but you got to pick yourself up."
Buffalo also allowed ex-Sabre Brian Campbell to get the game-winning goal on the power play in the third period. Buffalo looked to have energy, but a late penalty by Marcus Foligno and a blocked Christian Ehrhoff shot in the dying seconds sealed the fate for the Sabres.
Buffalo's loss marks their sixth in seven games and the early part of the season is proving to be trouble for them. Buffalo will take tomorrow off to regroup as they will travel to Ottawa Tuesday at 7:30.Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres, Hockey, NHL

Phosphoglycerate Kinase Deficiency
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Phosphoglycerate Kinase Deficiency is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency is an extremely rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase. This enzyme is essential for the breakdown of glycogen, resulting in the release of energy. Symptoms and findings associated with the disorder may include low levels of circulating red blood cells (hemolytic anemia); varying degrees of intellectual disability; rapidly changing emotions (emotional liability); an impaired ability to communicate through and/or to comprehend speech or writing (aphasia); exercise-induced pain, stiffness, or cramps; enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly); and/or paralysis of one side of the body (hemiplegia). In most cases, phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency is inherited as an X-linked genetic trait. In such cases, the disorder is fully expressed in males only; however, some females who carry one copy of the disease gene (heterozygotes) may have hemolytic anemia.

SOUTHEND United manager Phil Brown does not envisage Jamar Loza and Jacob Murphy returning to Norwich City early, despite the change of management at the Canaries.
The teenage duo are currently on loan at Roots Hall from the Norfolk outfit.
And Brown hopes that will not be affected by Neil Adams replacing Chris Hughton in charge at the Premier League strugglers.
"I've spoken to the chief scout at Norwich and they're delighted with the progress and the opportunities the two lads are getting with us so I don't see anything changing," said Brown.
"There's no call back clause in the deal until their first month ends with us anyway but after that there is a 24 hour call back.
"We certainly want them to stay and we want to extend Jamar's loan beyond a month if we can because they both have pace and quality in the final third and that's exactly why we brought them in.
"They're both doing well but Neil Adams has been heavily involved in the youth set up at Norwich so to a certain extend we're also in no man's land a little bit."
Striker Loza, 19, has scored once in four appearances since signing on loan and caught the eye in an impressive man of the match display against Oxford United last month.
His loan spell comes to an after Blues' home clash against Accrington Stanley on Monday April 21 but Brown is keen to keep the youngster until the end of the season.
Winger Murphy, who is also 19, has already agreed to spend the rest of the campaign with the Shrimpers.
He has made two substitute appearances since signing for sixth placed Blues but has yet to hit the back of the net.
The winger will now be aiming to impress, along with Loza, when the Shrimpers host AFC Wimbledon at Roots Hall this weekend looking for a fourth successive win.

We've discussed the old "never mix black and navy" rule before here, with most people agreeing that's it's much too old-fashioned to stand up in today's fashionable world. Angelina Jolie clearly agrees, seen here wearing a navy dress and black boots while out with Brad Pitt in NYC this week. We suspect some of you will feel Angelina's taken a bit of a beating from the "boring" stick here, but the outfit is very "her": she has her style and she likes to stick to it. Is that a good thing or a bad thing, though, we wonder?

ABORIGINAL histories and cultures, sustainability and Australia's engagement with the Asian region will be cornerstones of the new civics national curriculum for schools.
The draft national curriculum, released for public comment yesterday, is also based on the principle that students are part of a multicultural, secular society with a multi-faith population.
For the first time, all students would learn about the cultures, social and political processes, and laws of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
This will be married with lessons about liberal democracy, the Westminster system and the Australian Constitution, as well learning about individuals' personal and civic rights.
Students will be expected to understand various aspects of Australia's laws and legal processes, including the rule of law, human rights and democratic principles.
The draft curriculum will also teach students about the institutions and processes of Australia's political systems at local, state and federal levels, and will tie in with the history and geography curriculums.
Last month, former Prime Minister John Howard raised concerns about the new history curriculum, which had been approved by state and territory ministers. Mr Howard said the curriculum was "unbalanced, lacking in priorities and quite bizarre", and said it neglected Australia's Judeo-Christian background.
But the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority said the history curriculum – which will be supported by the civics and citizenship curriculum – would include content about western history and Australian post-settlement history at most year levels.
Meanwhile, Tertiary Education minister Chris Evans will today announce the first tranche in the government's Asian Century white paper policies, designed to help Australian students engage with the Asian region.
Senator Evans said the government would provide more than 10,000 grants to Australian students to study in Asia, and expand student loans to Australian students studying in the region.
The AsiaBound Grants Program will be worth $37 million, and will offer grants of between $2000 and $5000 for students undertaking short or semester-length study exchanges. They will also be eligible for $1000 grants for to prepare for Asian language studies.
Student loans will be simplified, Senator Evans said, and there will be an extra $1000 available for intensive language training.
"AsiaBound will support more than 10,000 Australian students to enjoy the experience of living and studying in an Asian country," Senator Evans said.
"For a long time, Asian students have enjoyed educational opportunities here in Australia but student mobility must go both ways. The next generation of Australian leaders will need to be increasingly Asian-literate and these are skills best learnt by experiencing Asia first-hand."

New Delhi, Jan. 23 -- I remember being in Delhi for a one-dayer against Pakistan and the chill was unbearable. The conditions in Mohali could be similar and probably this prompted Ian Bell to say that it was like being in England.
What he also tried to convey was that they had beaten India in cold conditions last year, so there was a possibility that there would be seam movement for the quicks and that could trouble the India players.
There is a possibility of such conditions prevailing, especially with Daljit Singh, the curator, who likes to leave grass on the surface. He also prepared similar pitches in Kochi and Ranchi, where the ball turned and got the English batsman in trouble.
But irrespective of the pitch and weather conditions, England will have to improve drastically to level the series. They batted well in Rajkot, but since then it has been a slide. England lost track of the chase in Kochi and same was the case in Ranchi while batting first. There has been a problem in the way they've paced their innings.
The application of Cook and Pietersen upfront has been a prime example. They have been over-attacking and trying to manufacture shots and thereby getting out. Both of them, along with Bell, need to take a leaf out of Dhoni's knock in Kochi and Virat's knock in Ranchi on how to play normal cricket and, with wickets in hand at the end, score runs to all parts of the ground.

It's That Time Of Year, Folks
Exciting news, guys. Fashion Weeks are upon us — it's men's fashion week right now, so NYC women's ready-to-wear is right around the corner — and you know what that means. Two words, my friends: Models. Falling. Even though I've personally argued against laughing, there's just no denying that there's nothing more fascinating (not to mention schadenfreude-inducing) than seeing any one of the great beauties of the world fail at, well, what is basically glorified walking. Never has that been more apparent to me until this dude went down at Vivienne Westwood. That's all I got to say here. [Stylelist]

I would like to get some feedback on my 12 year old granddaughter. She is having a lot of trouble getting along with her mother and step father (he has only been in the household for about a year). They want to take her to a therapist, but I think she is just being 12 and trying to find common ground with her step dad.
What keys should I look for to be concerned enough to support the use of a therapist?

Woman goes to jail over beating of girl
A 24-year-old woman is accused of beating a 10-year-old girl with a shoe and a coat hanger on Monday because she was upset with the child's "poor behavior," according to an arrest report. Christine Q. Chatman of 542 Howell St., Unit A, was arrested Wednesday and charged with felony child abuse. According to the report, Chatman told a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office deputy that she had hit the child and that she "normally uses a belt, which the children hid from her." The girl suffered injuries to her left wrist and left thigh that have the potential to leave "permanent scarring," the report said. The Sheriff's Office did not disclose how Chatman knows the child or whether she is related to her. An unidentified person saw the child's injuries and reported the beating, the report said. Chatman, who was booked into jail under the last name Chatham, was released later Wednesday after posting $5,000 bail.

How to Get Rid of Moles in Your Yard
What homeowner doesn't dream of a perfect smooth emerald-green lawn in front of the house? However, your beautiful dream may be overshadowed by one significant problem. Moles! They are perfect diggers able to dig as fast as a foot per minute. As you can imagine, this is an advantageous way of soil aerating. On the other hand, moles are leaving visible furrows, damaging plants. Their tunnels push up the earth breaking your lawn's harmony and eat earthworms so advantageous for the soil. If you noticed the first furrows and suspect moles, it is obvious that it's better to get rid of these skillful diggers better sooner than later. Find out more on how to get rid of moles in yard. Some preparation work and deciding which method of mole eradication you prefer is needed before you actually start your fight.
How to Get Rid of Moles in Your Yard?
- Since moles spend all the time in the dark, they have limited eye-sight. However, a perfect sense of smell makes up for this lack completely. Use their sensitivity towards certain scents against them. Repellents based on castor oil sprayed all over the lawn and along tunnels will effectively help to keep moles away from your land. Prepare a mixture of 2 tablespoons of dish soap with a cup of castor oil in a gallon of water. Apply every month and after rains as a preventive measure.
- A good natural preventive step is also planting chocolate lilies. It is an efficient way to make moles shy away from your land. The same is true for planting garlic.
- If you are known as someone who can't even kill a fly, consider live traps. After you capture these uninvited guests in your yard you can relocate them, avoiding killing. Locate the tunnels which moles are currently using. Flatten the pushed up soil and check the next day if it's risen again. After you located active tunnels, place a live trap in the entrance to the hole and cover with any solid covering. A mole will get into the trap basket but will not be able to get out.
- In case you decide to opt for a kill trap, choose between re-used and disposable traps. Most common kill traps are of a spring kind. The spring will work when a mole will try to open a tunnel which you flattened beforehand. Before setting the trap in the entrance of an active tunnel, make sure that you've loaded the trap as follows in manufacture's instructions.
- Another solution of how to get rid of moles in your yard can be using bait. There are baits which have a look of a worm and, therefore, attract moles. Other baits come in a cone (poison peanuts). However, be careful using this method if you have a dog who can find this bait.
- Solutions aimed at mole elimination also include battery-based devices creating vibration that you put into the ground, vibration wind-mills and fumigators.
In a nutshell, these are the most effective ways to eradicate moles in your yard. Get rid of moles army invading your property and realize your dream of a perfect lawn!

Duplex perception refers to the linguistic phenomenon where "part of the acoustic signal is used for both a speech and a nonspeech percept." For example, an English statement voiced with rising pitch may be interpreted as a question about the statement's veracity.
Discovered by Rand (1974): A listener is presented with two simultaneous, dichotic stimuli. One ear receives an isolated third-formant transition that sounds like a nonspeech chirp. At the same time the other ear receives a base syllable. This base syllable consists of the first two formants, complete with formant transitions, and the third formant without a transitionTemplate:Huh. • The listener's percept is duplex, that is, the completed syllable is perceived and the nonspeech chirp is heard at the same time

You don't have to love Taco Bell (and you shouldn't) to love this dress made entirely of burrito wrappers from the chain. The stunt is an entry in the restaurant's contest to win a free trip to Las Vegas to get married in their store on the Vegas Strip.
"It's time to spill the beans. We have been engaged for 4 years, and together for 10. Taco Bell has been there through the years, from the after school runs, to late meals after work (or a night of partying). Our love for each other is as cheesy as a quesadilla," she wrote in her entry. "We're nachos getting married, it's going to be a Las Vegas tacover. Lettuce celebrate our love at the Taco Bell Chapel in Vegas, cuz we are ready to guac and roll."
On Valentine's Day Taco Bell announced the chain will hold weddings at its Las Vegas Strip Cantina location and offered one lucky couple the chance to compete for a free trip to be the first couple married at the restaurant.
Nguyen said a friendly manager at her local Taco Bell provided her with the wrappers.
The smallest wedding of all is just the two of you, and this beautiful couple from Seattle came to Napa to get married. When you don't have any guests, your wedding and your honeymoon are the same trip.

Dress: The Dress Theory
We're all about small weddings here, so we were shocked to see that the average price of a wedding according to The Knot is $35,329. The Washington Post has a super-fun article on what you might want to spend your money on instead, including 4 fifty-yard-line tickets to the Superbowl and 82,000 meals for the homeless. Also:
This food truck is for sale for $34,000 on Washington area Craigslist. (Craiglist)
Some couples rent food trucks as a low-cost catering option at their weddings. However, an entrepreneurial couple could buy their own food truck for the price of a wedding. This Craigslist posting in the D.C. area for a food truck with a 14-foot kitchen includes a griddle, deep fryer, stove, salad bar unit, freezer and more. Parking permits and taco shells sold separately.
Model 3 Tesla: $35,000
The Model 3 Tesla is billed as the "Tesla for the masses." (Tesla)
Let's say you're in the market for a less-clunky vehicle than a food truck. There's the "Tesla for the masses," available at just $35,000 (compared to their other models, which range from $68,000 to $140,000). After the electric-vehicle tax credit, you'll have $7,000 or so left over to fund your honeymoon.
I'd like to say I'd use it for the homeless, but if I'm being honest, I'd go with the Tesla.
According to The Washington Post, more and more couples are opting to have a small ceremony, or just go to the courthouse and get the job done. As for people "attending" your ceremony, they do it with "likes" on FaceBook.
Not totally surprising as the average cost for a wedding in the U.S. is an eye-watering $29,858. If I'm going to cry at a wedding, that's the reason right there. And it's not just the couple and the families who spend all that dough. I figure that every time I get invited to a wedding, it costs me $300 to $1000. After the flights and the room and the gift and the rental car… and then for some reason my wife seems to need a new dress for every third wedding.
For the newlyweds, it's simple. Think of it as Romeo and Juliet 2.0. No guests = no planning, no politics, no pressure. Plus a whole lot less expense, of course. Who can afford it while shouldering massive student-loan debt, even years out of college? Couple these expenses with rising housing costs in the city, along with car payments, and it's easy to slip into significant debt. And even if the bride's or groom's parents are willing to chip in, many are simply unable to fully bankroll that pricey an undertaking.
You can see the logic. It also makes sense for today's social norms. A hundred years ago, many family members would be meeting the bride or groom for the very first time at the wedding. But today most couples have relationships for years before they tie the knot. We've all probably seen a thousand status updates by the couple already.
You can read the whole article here.
If you are planning you elopement in the city by the bay, as far as we're concerned you have exactly two choices. Either plan a trip (or get a wedding planner to do it for you) to the amazing wineries and vineyards of Napa and Sonoma, or check out San Francisco's tremendous City Hall.
It's makes an incredible backdrop for you photos, and nothing quite captures the soul of elopement like getting married by the city clerk.
With the money you save, you can have the most amazing destination wedding.
Just because you elope, that doesn't mean you can't have pictures and video. Case and point, April and Jeremy's video of their San Francisco elopement.
Over at the Postcards and Pretties blog we find a couple doing it right. Intimidated by the byzantine rules that govern weddings on the Empire State Building, this couple went to a California beach instead and planned small wedding in just eight days:
"It was February 16th when we learned the Empire State Building Observatory only holds weddings for 14 couples once annually on the 14th of February. There went the only site in NYC we could picture ourselves getting hitched. Onward to Plan B…
For Christmas he had surprised me with a mid-winter escape to Casa Laguna in Laguna Beach and we were scheduled to fly out the following week on the February 24th. In eight days I found a stunningly sweet site overlooking the ocean, an Officiant, a driver, the best Laguna Beach florist ever and my wardrobe. Did I mention I also designed my own ring? It's astounding what can be accomplished when you put your mind to it.
For me, eloping was a no-brainer because it meant no worries about the guest list or the bouquet toss or anything other than the two of us. For him, the instant gratification and adventure of it all was impossible to resist. At the heart of the decision was a focus on the life journey we're beginning together."

NEW YORK (Sep. 23)
Leaders of major Jewish organizations continued their testimony here before the House Committee on Communist Aggression today emphasizing the at Jewish culture is being wiped out in the Soviet Union while Zionism is banned in all Communist countries.
Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the American Jewish Congress, appearing before the Committee, charged that "the shadow of doom lies over the spiritual survival of 2,500,000 Jews in Soviet lands." Yiddish newspapers, he testified, ceased publication, Yiddish writers disappeared and other Yiddish institutions were shut down.
"Sympathy for Zionism not only remained a crime, as it had been for many years, but the accusation of Zionism directed sometimes against persons who had been bitter opponents of it, became an important weapon in the armory with which the masters of the moment struck down potential rivals," Dr. Goldstein declared, adding that the false indictment of the Jewish doctors was later admitted by the Soviet leaders to be part of a plan to stir up racial animosity.
He pointed out that while the USSR supported the establishment of Israel at the United Nations, Zionism continued to be banned and suspected Zionists continued to be jailed and sent to forced labor camps. The answer to this "glaring contradiction," he said, was political expediency, but more important, the "fundamental and irreconcilable conflict between the Jewish conception of life and humanity and that which is embodied in the dogma on which the Soviet Government professes to be based."
Jewish Labor Committee vice-chairman Jacob Zukerman told the House Committee that "the Kremlin, while it piously pronounces peaceful co-existence between itself and other nations, has, in effect, declared a war of destruction against the remaining vestiges of the Jewish communities under their geographical domination. " He cited several examples of cultural genocide against the Jews, their institutions, in the Soviet Union and satellite nations.
Mr. Zukerman called for a United Nations investigation into charges made earlier by the Jewish Labor Committee that the Soviet Union had failed to answer requests made by the organization demanding to know the fate of some half million Jewish refugees whose whereabouts have never been accounted for by the Soviets. Mr. Zukerman said that over 200 Jewish writers had similarly vanished in the Soviet Union.
Benjamin Kaufman, testifying on behalf of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America, of which he is national executive director, pointed out that the JWV was "never fooled by the Communist propagandist who glibly extolled the tolerance of Communism with respect to races and religions." He told the committee of some of the positive programs undertaken by the JWV to educate its members and all Americans as to the "dangers and pitfalls of Communism. "
Herschel Weinrauch. former Red Army officer and editor of an official Yiddish newspaper in Birobidjan during the, 1930 testified yesterday that the settlement of Birobidjan by Jews was used by the Communists to mulct millions of dollars from Americans in cash, equipment and machinery meant for the Jewish region. He also declared that of some 600,000 Jews sent from Poland to Siberia in 1939 only 150,000 have been accounted for and the remaining 450,000 "just vanished" by the war's end in 1945.

Tannic Acid
In this Article
How does Tannic Acid work?Tannic acid contains ingredients that have a protective effect on the skin.
Are there safety concerns?Tannic acid is safe when used in the amounts found in foods.
However, tannic acid seems UNSAFE when applied to the skin to treat diaper rash, prickly heat, and minor burn or sunburn. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is worried that tannic acid might also be UNSAFE when used to treat cold sores and fever blisters on the lips. The concern is that the tannic acid might be easily absorbed through the lips and cause harmful side effects. But there isn't enough research yet to know for sure. The FDA has asked for more studies.
In large amounts, tannic acid can cause side effects such as stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, and liver damage. Regular consumption of herbs with high tannin concentrations seems to be associated with an increased chance of developing nose or throat cancer.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It's UNSAFE to apply tannic acid to broken skin or large areas of skin. There is concern that it might be absorbed and cause harmful side effects.
The safety of taking tannic acid by mouth during pregnancy and breast-feeding is unknown. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
Kidney problems: Tannic acid can cause kidney damage, making existing kidney problems worse. Don't use tannic acid if you have a kidney disorder.
Liver problems: Tannic acid can cause liver damage, making existing liver problems worse. Don't use tannic acid if you have a liver disorder.
Skin conditions: Don't take a bath with added tannic acid if you have weeping eczema and extensive skin damage. The broken skin could allow too much tannic acid to get into your body.
Fever or infectious diseases: Don't take a bath with added tannic acid if you have a fever or infectious disease.
Heart failure: Don't take a bath with added tannic acid if you have heart failure.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Elections, Politics
Illegal Immigrants created Intel and Google – Who Knew?
Surely he didn't literally mean it, but it certainly sounded like he thought two of our greatest technology companies wouldn't be here but for illegal immigration. For Barack Obama, who claimed everything he said in the first debate was absolutely true, and presumably will make the same claim for this one, that was my biggest take-away. I'm sure it will come as a shock to Robert Noyce and Larry Page to discover they are illegal aliens.
For a man who spent the first thirty minutes or so accusing Romney of being a liar, Obama had several moments where his remarks were at odds with the real world. The most notable will undoubtedly be the one and only exchange about Benghazi, in which Romney cornered Obama after Obama stated he had called the attack on Benghazi a terrorist act on the day after it occurred in his speech from the Rose Garden. Coming to his aid, Candy Crowley told Romney that yes, Obama had indeed called it a terrorist act.
This stinks of a set-up to me.
You can see the full clip of Obama's speech here. What Obama actually calls the attack, at about the 1:30 mark in the speech, is an "[act] of senseless violence," which is perfectly in keeping with the "Internet Video" narrative the White House started spinning immediately after the attack. At about the 4:19 mark, he says "no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation," but this is said in the contextual reference to Americans serving all around the globe, which he points-out in the immediately preceding phrase. At no point in his short speech does Obama call Benghazi "an act of terror" as both he and Crowley falsely claimed during the debate.
What are we to make of this? Both Obama and the supposedly impartial moderator on exactly the same page, on a point both clearly think will embarrass Romney, and which also happens to be false? If at this point nobody is talking about deliberate coordination between Obama and Crowley, I would be amazed. This can't possibly be coincidence, especially when one considers that Romney actually turned to Obama and asked if he was actually sure about this, and Obama said "continue" as if expecting what would happen next. This is the same guy who jumped-up and interrupted Romney every chance he had, whether it was over time, or wanting to contest something Romney had said. Now, we are expected to believe that as he is about to be boxed-in on a particularly damning point, he's just going to say "continue?" This strains credulity well past the breaking-point. Either way, I think this will be the biggest point about this debate that will be remembered.
There was one other point in my opinion that gave-away the game. I don't recall her name, but there was a woman who stood-up and claimed to be an undecided voter, who nevertheless felt all the problems we are currently experiencing were the fault of the Bush administration, and wanted to know how Romney distinguished himself from Bush. Seriously? And this was one of the questions Crowley picked for the debate? Unbelievable.
As for the rest of the evening, the "passive" Obama of the first debate was nowhere to be seen on this night. He was testy and ready to contest Romney at every point. I have probably watched all the presidential debates going back through 1984, and this is the first time I think I recall any participant directly challenging the honesty of his opponent. Obama did this on at least three or four occasions within the first 30 minutes. Of course this doesn't mean anything Romney said was actually not true, but I'm sure Obama's base believed it, so it accomplished its purpose, and fired-up the people who were so disappointed with him the first time out.
For Romney's part, he didn't give an inch, either to Obama or Crowley, who tried to bully him early on. He insisted on getting his say when it was appropriate, and was well-prepared, respectful, and on point with his answers. He spent most of the night on the defensive, thanks to Crowley limiting his answers early on, and Obama repeatedly accusing him of lying, but he did a good job of making his points where he was able, and if one applies the time-honored standard of "looking presidential," he certainly accomplished this to a far greater extent than Obama, who often looked petulant. I would say Romney had the advantage on the "optics" for one early exchange, where Obama tried to stand up and talk over him, and Romney said something to the effect that "..that was a statement, not a question, go sit back down." And Obama did exactly that.
What will people take away from the debate tonight? I think this one will take a while to digest. If you are a conservative, Republican, or one of the few remaining undecided with an open mind, my guess is you will see this debate as a travesty, an obvious behind-the-scenes collaboration between Obama and the moderator, who rather famously opined that the selection of Paul Ryan as the Republican running-mate was a sort of "ticket death-wish" last summer. Despite this, Romney held his ground reasonably well, and came out looking pretty good. If you are a liberal or Democrat, you will be thrilled Obama showed some life tonight, and fought back effectively from the disaster in his first debate. What is certain is this one will be the subject of a great deal of analysis and commentary between now and election-day. Like last weeks vice-Presidential debate, I don't think it will change many minds.
Edit- I can't believe I forgot to mention the other notable development from the debate, which was Obama taking responsibility fro Benghazi back from Hillary, not once but twice. I thought this was remarkable in demonstrating that he and his Secretary of State were not on the same-page. Thinking about it, this may have been a very crafty move by Hillary. By stepping-up and claiming responsibility, she put Obama in the position of looking weak, while managing to look like a team-player herself. Lest he continue to be seen as hiding behind Hillary, Obama had no choice but to step-up and let everyone know the buck stopped with him. This instantly accomplished two things: it made Obama the proper target of responsibility for Benghazi, and inoculates Hillary from taking the fall. Very interesting!

I summed it up this way. During the presidential debate Libra-gate was discussed. The President boldly lied about Libra-gate again. And then the moderator miss spoke; miss spoke because she corrected yourself later. Obama continued the lie by saying he would be offended if anyone would assert that he did not have a big heart for all concerned. Well, not his exact words.
@AmericaDuped If you had asked me in 2000 if the media could be any more biased, I would have said I doubt it. I would have been wrong.
Just remember, America . . . FREEDOM OF THE PRESS DOES NOT GUARANTEE HONESTY OF THE PRESS.
@AmericaDuped Hmm, I checked the transcript, they must have left-out the part where she "cprrected" herself. She qualified her statement somewhat, but I didn't hear her back-down from her statement at a.. And this is the heart of the problem: As the moderator, she should not be making statements or comments AT ALL!

@GregoryConterio Candy corrected herself about an hour later on CNN after Anderson Cooper pointed out her mistake.
@GregoryConterio Sadly they are still playing the sound bit over and over. I hope most folks are not that stupid.
@AmericaDuped @GregoryConterio OF COURSE they are. That was the point. Tens of millions heard Crowley, but only hundreds of thousands will hear the correction.
@WesternFreePress I could not navigate to this story anymore. I used my tweets to get you again.
Anyway, I was thinking this stuff is so obvious and in our faces that it is an insult to my intelligence.
@AmericaDuped we post a lot of stories, so things get buried quickly.
Dear Greig….I saw it the same as you….IDENTICAL
Thanks Simon! I think a lot of people see it that way. Regardless of whether Crowley and Obama were in cahoots, she did a real hatchet-job as a moderator, from picking questions that reflected her liberal views, to interrupting Romney and allowing Obama extra time. She was an embarassment. Thankfully, it doesn't seem to have helped or mattered, as Romney's surge seems to be continuing despite her best efforts!
This article made me more confused!
@ PBX How?

I apologize for not posting the last couple of weeks. I was on vacation last week, and the week before that, I was really busy trying to get things done before vacation.
With that said, while I was out, I conducted some reflection and read a couple of Seth Godin books (Linchpin and Poke the Box). I have read most of his books and find them to be very motivational and easy reads.
I took several key points and motivational thoughts from these books, such as:
- Be an Artist. Not a drone.
- Solve interesting problems
- Lead
- Take initiative
- Be remarkable
- Question the status quo
- Don't accept mediocre obedience (failed attempt to be really good)
- Start something
- Do it now!
I really could go on and on. The point is, we should be remarkable or seek to live a life that is. We should not accept what the "machine" provides, but create our own "machine." (My quote)
Life can sometimes seem like a routine that never ends, and we "lead lives of quiet desperation." This should not be the case (even for state tax professionals).
Seth says in his book (Linchpin), "Art is anything that is creative, passionate and personal." Seth also says, "an artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity and boldness to challenge the status quo. An artist takes it personally. Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does."
My point is we should try to apply these concepts to our lives - personally and professionally.
Can a state tax professional be an "artist"? I think so. A state tax professional should seek to provide innovative solutions to it's company's or client's facts and situations. They should provide sound judgment and recommended courses of action. They should provide practical advice to deeply technical issues, and strong advocacy when appropriate.
Don't be a drone by just following what has always been done or by simply meeting the goals that are measured (how boring is that). Be an Artist through your personal interactions and innovative solutions.
Be creative. Have fun! Life is short, so you might as well.
P.S. - Here are some notable state tax developments over the past couple of weeks (from my perspective):
- Virginia amended the manufacturer single sales factor election legislation to lessen the employment requirements and eliminate the 10% penalty
- Texas created an amnesty program to begin June 12, 2012
- Ohio created an amnesty program to begin May 1, 2012

I kinda let her die a while back, but I think I might give her another go. And this time around, she'll probably consist mostly of my photos via iPhone and Instagr.am. Instagram has made it really easy to push photos straight to Tumblr, so I think I'll take advantage.

CCAMLR to Reconvene on Ross Sea MPA
Hon Murray McCully
Minister of Foreign Affairs
2 November 2012 Media Statement
CCAMLR to Reconvene on Ross Sea MPA
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully today expressed disappointment that the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) deferred agreement on a proposal for a marine protected area (MPA) in the Ross Sea region.
Mr McCully says many of those interested in this topic have underestimated the challenge of securing agreement from 25 different countries with 25 different agendas.
"I have consistently said that it would be difficult to find a way of satisfying the range of interests represented around the CCAMLR table," Mr McCully says.
"However, I very much welcome the fact that New Zealand and the US have managed to come together with an amended MPA proposal that holds a good chance of eventually finding acceptance.
"I am disappointed that some countries, which do not yet share our view on the priority that conservation interests should attract in the Ross Sea, have held out against agreement at this stage.
"But I am pleased that members have agreed to an additional meeting next July to give further consideration to the NZ/US proposal. It is clear that we have considerable work to do before that meeting if the joint proposal is to get across the line, but New Zealand is now well placed to play a leadership role in advancing the proposal."

High School Flagrant Foul
January 6, 2012 by staff
High School Flagrant Foul, Michael Christenson of Yakima said he was only trying to illustrate a point to a small group of Highland High School students and parents about the need for better basketball officials.
To his surprise and dismay, however, the video he uploaded of several hard fouls during the Yakima County school's boys game at Connell on Dec. 22 has gone viral, collecting more than 25,000 hits since the video was posted on YouTube on Dec. 28.
The video, which is just more than 5 minutes long, showcases two imposing Connell players — seniors Cole Vanderbilt and Kennan VanHollebeke — committing six personal fouls during a 38-37 home win over the Scots.
Because of the physical nature of the fouls, particularly those committed by Vanderbilt, the video, "Flagrant foul no-calls Highland @ Connell 12/22/11," has drawn considerable attention. Several of the 87 comments are negative.
"(No.) 34 (Vanderbilt) should be a wrestler. Totally unacceptable," wrote one poster.
"(No.) 34 looks like a football player. He doesn't seem to be any asset to the team other than to beat down players on the other team," wrote another.
Vanderbilt, at 6 feet 3, 280 pounds, and VanHollebeke, at 6-4, 235, both played offensive and defensive line on the Eagles' Class 1A state-championship football team in the fall. Both are listed as centers on the basketball team.
After Christenson uploaded the video to Facebook, he transferred it to YouTube. A day later, it was picked up by guyism.com and posted under the heading, "VIDEO: The dirtiest basketball player in America."
That couldn't be any further from the truth, according to Vanderbilt's grandmother, Karen Vanderbilt of Connell.
"He's a nice, young student in high school," she said of her grandson, who couldn't be reached for comment.
Vanderbilt has taken the negative attention to heart, but his team has rallied to support him, said Connell coach Oscar Garza.
"He's a tough kid, but those that know him know he's a teddy bear," Garza said. "My 7-year-old son loves him and lights up when he's around. But on (YouTube) he's the world's meanest, ugliest kid. It's not fair, but I just want him to know his teammates and coaches are behind him."
The role of social media in high school sports is a complicated one, and there is little control over who can post what on the Internet and where the information goes from there.
"Everybody has the right to their opinion. Not everybody thinks about all the consequences about what their actions will be," Eagles athletic director Steve Frucci said. "It goes to show what can happen in today's day and age. Whoever can afford that technology can do anything they want."
Christenson, 32, said that his intention was not for the video to go much further than the small community outside Yakima that surrounds the basketball program. His nephew, Tanner Christenson, plays guard for the Scots.
After posting it online so Highland players could see it, he said he could no longer control the direction in which the video would head.
"Thinking about it now, I maybe could have contacted the WIAA (Washington Interscholastic Activities Association) first, but I wasn't expecting this," he said. "It wasn't my intention to single (Vanderbilt) out. If you look closely at my video, his name is never mentioned. What I wanted to single out was the officiating. If they do their jobs, there are no hard fouls and no video."
David Pierce, a 30-year veteran of the Tri-Cities Sports Officials Association, took issue with Christenson's contention, saying the referees did their jobs during the game.
"There were no problems and no fights. It's getting painted as flagrant fouls or intentional fouls, but it doesn't have anything to do with that," Pierce said. "The guy took a camera and jaded it. He didn't show the whole game. He showed six plays."
Garza said the game was a physical one that pushed some boundaries as far as trash talking, and his players responded. He said most of the fouls on the video occurred in the game's first 10 minutes, but the game settled down from there.
"There was a lot of heckling going on. After the first 10 minutes, Kennan had two fouls and Colt had three. I took them out and calmed them down," he said. "They played just as hard in the second half and only had one foul."

Diners could be hit with a GST on tips if restaurateurs introduce set service charges to curb an expected downturn in tips.
The August 1 scrapping of signatures for credit cards has waiters concerned about their back pocket.
"It's not illegal for restaurants to do it [impose a service charge] but they'd need to declare it [on the menu], and because it would be levied it'd be subject to GST," says John Hart, head of Restaurant and Catering Australia.
The vast majority of restaurants are expected to try their luck at the terminal, where they believe customers will be less likely to add a tip when inputting their PIN.
Hart says many banks have done little to add functions for easily adding tips.
Restaurateurs are exploring new ways for customers to pay. Chow Bar & Eating House owner Chui Lee Luk has introduced Paypal.
"Paypal has created a prompt to leave a gratuity before final payment," she says.
"It is about giving people different ways to pay. In Malaysia, my father was once given a live goat as payment for accountancy services," she quips.

TANA is where the action is at baby
TANA is where the action is at baby
I wouldn't have either of 'em as key people in my business.
I want Kendra to win and I think Kendra will win.
I like Tana and like most people, I think this is a satisfying final two. With that said, Tana has been making many mistakes so far and her attitude concerning her team sucks. It's bad enough she had the nerve to ask for a new team, but she proceeded to complain about them to Carolyn. I have faith in Kendra that she'll come up with a plan, as she always does, to win over Sony and at least pacify them to the best of her ability.
If you go through a lot of hammers each month, I don't think it necessarily means you're a hard worker.
It may just mean that you have a lot to learn about proper hammer maintenance.
I expect him to hire neither...Originally Posted by E-Daddy
You've got to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince!
I truly would like Tana, but from the preview clip it shows Donald Trump saying "this is bad or something" while at the sporting event. So I have a feeling that Kendra will win. My only problem is, if I was Sony Playstation, I would in no way accept that area. Hardcore signs hanging, floor cracked and peeling....sorry but that reminded me of an old water logged bar up in the mountains.
Like several have already said, I like both the finalists. I like Kendra better and want her to win but Tana wouldn't be a bad choice either. Kendra seems to be able to think on her feet faster than Tana. I expect her to pull the Sony thing off just fine.
Trust me...it's not Kendra who will be pulling the SONY thing off! I am absolutely convinced that "glitch" was staged. There is no way on God's green earth that a huge event like that would not have those types of details planned waaaay in advance - NOT on the day before the event. In reality, a large sponsor like SONY would not have been calm about seeing that space.
Events like the ones that Tana and Kendra are involved in are planned months and months in advance. There is no way that an organization would simply "hand-off" to these teams two days before an event of this magnatude without being dang sure that there are allll kinds of safety nets underneath 'em.
Like most everyone else I'm happy they're both the final two.
I think Tana is someone I'd be friends with at work, she's like me a late 30's mom living in the burbs and an entrepreneur. I don't buy that line about her not being able to handle city life because she's from Iowa. People are people.
I do think however that Kendra will be a better fit for Trumps organization since she is more interested in real estate than Tana. I think Kendra has terrific marketing skills and thinks outside the box.
Either way it goes I won't be upset. But I agree that I hope they don't skewer the lose like they did Jenn last season. That was really in poor taste.
I have liked Tana from the beginning. I think she would be great as the apprentice. She is cool and even tempered, I don't think her age should be a problem. I think she can manage people in her charge and is not afraid to fire someone if necesssary. I would like to see her win but both are qualified, I guess it is just which one that Trump likes the best.
If it were me, I would prefer to work with Tana. I see more professionalism in her in dealing with other people. All of Kendra's bickering with Craig seemed immature.
