Good news for Billy Crystal fans: The comic actor is back in a starring role on the big screen for the first time in a decade. Bad news for those same fans: Parental Guidance is a mostly embarrassing effort for Crystal and others who have done better work elsewhere.
This is the type of movie that in another 15 years or so might star Eddie Murphy, a shameless mix of obnoxious slapstick and relentless bodily-function humor that results in shots to the crotch for Crystal and blows to the brain for moviegoers.
The story finds Crystal in grandfather mode for the first time, as Artie, a fledgling minor-league baseball announcer in California who travels with his wife (Bette Midler) to visit their daughter (Marisa Tomei) in Atlanta.
Their task becomes to help care for three rambunctious grandchildren for a week, when Artie quickly realizes that technology and political correctness have changed the approach to parenting considerably since his time.
The film, directed by Andy Fickman (The Game Plan), tries to take a satirical approach to modern parenting — where caution sometimes overrules common sense – noting that sometimes old-school methods of discipline and responsibility are best.
In this case, that leads to a predictable story arc in which the grandparents and the youngsters start with plenty of tension before the generation gap gradually closes.
Each of the three kiddos has their dilemma that is neatly wrapped up in the final act – Harper (Bailee Madison) dealing with a violin audition for a prestigious music school, Turner (Joshua Rush) confronting issues with his stuttering and a bully at school, and Barker (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) coming to terms with reality regarding his best friends, an imaginary kangaroo.
That might be tolerable if any of the children were remotely likeable or relatable. But the script loses any momentum it generated as the brats evolve from mischievous to manic.
Crystal is well within his comfort zone as he rambles on about old baseball games and acts befuddled when it comes to social media or the X-Games. Midler and Tomei are wasted in thankless roles.
By the end, after an hour of low-brow gags generally about the groin area, Parental Guidance has the audacity to indulge in crass sentimentality, proving it's no better at navigating pathos than humor.
Rated PG, 104 minutes.

Since John Wright's Thanksgiving Day post here on Instant Tea about Blake Wilkinson and his planned protest outside the Mormon bookstore here in Dallas, in which John described Wilkinson as a militant, several people have left posts defending Wilkinson and his in-your-face style. Many of them have also lambasted the high-dollar "rubber chicken" dinners and auctions. They said we need more militancy and less of the fundraising and back-room politics organizations.
Another commented that "If we depended on pissy dinners and blind auctions during the 80's…about 1/2 of us wouldn't be here today."
I have been a journalist for more than 26 years now, and I have spent about 20 of those years in the LGBT media. I have seen a lot of history happening. And speaking from that perspective, I want to warn those who would abandon all else to focus solely on militant, in-your-face, in-the-street activism.
I have been thinking a lot about just this subject for several weeks now, ever since Prop 8 passed. And first of all, I agree, we need more people "in the streets," confronting bigotry in a loud, proud voice and demanding change. We had that in the 80s and even the early 90s, but it has really died down over the last 10 or 15 years.
But we also need those people walking in the halls of power, raising as much money as possible and using that financial clout to work behind the scenes and grease the wheels, so to speak, to get things done and make progress.
Neither approach alone will get the job done.
I have heard a lot of criticism against the Human Rights Campaign in recent weeks. Some people are putting all the blame for Prop 8 and other defeats on the shoulders of HRC and other groups like Equality California. But I think those organizations have probably been trying to do their part — the big money, behind the scenes gentle persuasion role — and it hasn't been working because the in-the-street militants were not doing their part. The demonstrations didn't start, remember, until Prop 8 had already passed. And one group can't play both roles without diminishing the effectiveness of both.
I am not saying HRC is perfect. They aren't. But I do wish that both sides of the LGBT rights movement would recognize the necessity of the other, and that the two would work more effectively together.
Just a thought.

Women in Trucking - One Woman's Journey
What Now?
Okay, I have decided to make this change in my career. I have most of my questions answered, well, all I can think of for right now. So, how do I get my CDL? I hear it is a complicated process involving taking numerous tests and trying to borrow a semi to take the over the road test. And the expense?!!
Luckily, I had the benefit of having my husband who just finished his school. So I will pass this information on to you.
Find a good driving school in your area. I would recommend that this school not be connected to any trucking operation and be accredited. I am attending Boise State University. I will receive 19 college credits upon my completion. They tell me what to study for the CDL and give hands on driving instruction for a number of hours. We cover backing and parking, coupling and uncoupling, air brakes, doubles, driving on back roads, driving on highways, going up and down hills, pre-inspections and provide a certified test person to give us the test at the end.
Since I had to continue working while I was going to school, it was important for me to find a school that offered night and weekend classes. Make a list of things that are important to you before you call the guidance counselor for your school of choice. Some things you may want to ask are:
What is the cost of the school? Are there any added costs (your license, your books, etc.)?
How long is the school?
Are the instructors former truck drivers?
What equipment are you using? Do you have a simulator? Do you have a skid pad?
How many students will be in each truck when we are driving?
How many instructors per student?
Can I get a Pell Grant or other loans?
Do I have to sign a contract with the trucking company for repayment of this school?
I'm sure you will have lots of questions of your own to ask when you call. Make an informed decision. Pick the school that is right for you.

Less is more. The modernist maxim is not one that always holds much weight in the 21st century world of bigger, stronger and faster tennis players. However, for Andrea Petkovic, the tapering down of her previously arduous training regimen has proved crucial in keeping her injury concerns at bay and getting her career back on track.
For Petkovic, much of the past few years on tour have been a hard slog as two serious injuries precipitated a fall from the heady heights of No.9 in the rankings all the way down to the darkest depths of the Top 200.
At the Family Circle Cup she began to put this ordeal behind her, defeating Jana Cepelova to pick up her first title since 2011.
"It's a different feeling now. In the beginning, when I won my first title, I remember I was just overwhelmed by everything, and I couldn't believe what was happening to me," Petkovic said. "And now I'm just much more grateful and I can appreciate it much more than before.
"I know what I went through in the past years, and I know what I worked for, and it's very rewarding now, and I just feel very happy."
Although the German, currently ranked No.28, still has a little way to go to reclaim her pre-injury Top 10 status, she is happy just to be enjoying her tennis again.
"I just wanted to get back to why I started playing tennis, because I had fun playing it and because I love the sport, and I think it's the most amazing sport out there," she added. "Everybody has their own opinion, obviously, but for me it's one of the most beautiful sports out there, and I just needed to remind myself why I started in the beginning, because it was fun, and just getting back to playing tennis and not trying to win matches all the time.
"That's obviously a reason why I play, but it's not the reason why I play, and I just needed to remind myself."
The 26-year-old endured several very low moments during her journey back up the rankings and at one point, on the back of a particularly dispiriting run of results, even contemplated packing it all in.
Out of the Top 100 and relegated to playing qualifiers, the nadir came less than a year ago, at the French Open, when she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory to Zhou Yi-Miao in qualifying.
"I had a lot of low points, but I think the lowest, lowest, low point was last year at the French Open when I lost second round qualies against a girl that was ranked maybe No.160, and I played awful, and that's when I wanted to stop.
"Although I also wanted to stop after I lost the match against Giorgi in Indian Wells, so I had a lot of these moments where I wanted to stop playing, but somehow I always kept doing what I did, and I kept not believing, but wanting it, I guess. I didn't believe it at all in certain moments, but I kept wanting it, and that's why I kept working, and I'm very thankful that it paid off in the end."
Soon after this crisis of confidence, though, the tide began to turn. Runner-up finishes at Nürnberg and Washington signaled a return to form and helped her finish 2013 inside the Top 50 again.
Her spell on the sidelines also allowed Petkovic to fine-tune a few technical aspects of her game, whilst also revamping her approach to training.
"I think I got technically much better after my injuries. You always have to see the good and the bad somehow, and the good thing about my injuries was that I knew I couldn't only rely on my fitness after all these injuries, because I wasn't able to practice as much as I used to before, so I needed to develop technically.
"I needed to improve my serve. And I needed to have more variety if I wanted to be able to get back to where I was. I couldn't be relying only on my fitness anymore. And so I made these changes, and I changed coaches, and I worked on it very hard and tried to become more of a tennis player and not only a tennis worker.
"There's still a long way to go for me, and I still have a lot of potential to improve it, but I think I'm on the right track."

AutoTrader.com Editors Name Best Automotive Interiors Under $60,000
ATLANTA--Aug. 12, 2013: While a car's exterior might be the first thing someone notices, Americans who commute are spending more than 50 minutes per day on average inside their cars1. For discerning car shoppers who prefer to spend this time enveloped in high-quality materials and experiencing the latest technology features, AutoTrader.com® editors have named their list of the Best Automotive Interiors Under $60,000.
"Automakers are increasingly investing in high-quality interior materials and finishes at all price points, offering consumers more for less," AutoTrader.com Site Editor Brian Moody says. "While $60,000 is a lot of money, these vehicles offer details often reserved for more exotic cars in the six-figure price range."
AutoTrader.com editors say these 2014 models offer inviting cabins that are worth a bit of a splurge:
Acura MDX Audi A6 BMW 3-Series Cadillac CTS Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Jeep Grand Cherokee Lexus GS
For shoppers who are a bit more budget-conscious, earlier this year AutoTrader.com editors named their picks for the Best Automotive Interiors under $30,000. Vehicles on that list included the Buick Encore, Dodge Dart, Nissan Pathfinder, Volkswagen Beetle and Volvo C30.

A man has told a really shocking story of the moment he caught he caught his pastor having s*x with his sister.
Illustrative picture
The man shared the story with stunned social media users in which he explained how he was shocked to catch his sister in the bathroom having s*x with their pastor.
Below is what he wrote:
I don't even know how to start this.
I have been sick for a while and had to take a day off from work to go home and treat myself.
My boss is not the smling type, so it took me a lot of convncing to get him allow me to go home.
Before I took the excuse, my only sister with whom I live alone, had called me to ask about my health and to find out if I was coming home or not. I had told her I would not because I had not asked my boss then and I was not sure how he would take it if I asked him. So I told her I would not come home.
However, things changed a little later, after I began feeling really terrible and that was when I had to ask for a day off. My boss later granted me time off.
I tried calling my sister to tell her I had changed my mind and that I was coming home but her phone was off, so I just headed home.
On getting into our compund, I was already feeling like throwing up. I felt like lying down on the bare floor because of what I was feeling inside me. I barely managed to pull myself inside our sitting room. I sat down on chair and tried to cool myself down before I call my sister.
While still sitting, the nauseating feeling inside me got the better of me and I really felt like throwing up, so I ran towards the bathroom.
When I got there I was shocked at what I found. I found my sister in hot romance with our pastor. They were both stark n*ked and were really startled when they saw me.
My body went cold and I threw up into a corner.
My sister grabbed hold of her clothes and ran out but the pastor stood there loking at me with really apologetic eyes for some few minutes before he grabbed his clothes and said
"It was the devil bro. I tell you. I don't know what got over me."
He then begged me not to tell anyone about it and that he will pray about it and that God will forgive…he went on bla bla bla.
I just kept on looking at him, not even able to move. After a while,he put his trousers and his shirt and went out.
Right now I am so confused, disappointed and wrecked in my spirit. I don't even know what to do. My sister has been crying her eyes out asking me to forgive her.
I don't know if I should tell or just keep shut.


text:
I wish that I had read these reviews before wasting my time and money, but maybe I can help at least one person from making the same mistake.
I've had 4 velashape treatments on my thighs and butt for cellulite and I don't see any improvement at all. I am going in for a free treatment tomorrow because the doctor knows I'm not happy and doesn't see any improvement either, but I don't expect to see any change. I guess I'm just hoping for a miracle. If that happens, I'll let you know.

Though the game didn't start until 7 p.m., students began arriving more than an hour earlier, eyes bright with excitement. Many of the Wolves faces were painted green and gold, while Mustang fans sported red and black. Flags and banners waving, they filed into the stadium.
By 6:30 p.m. both the main and overflow parking lots were filled, and cars began spilling out onto Stone Valley. By game time, people were parking more than four blocks away, clogging residential streets, laughing and cheering as they walked the distance to be there for the big game.
There are 42,000 people who call Danville home, and on Nov. 14 almost 8,000 of them jammed into bleacher seats, stood along chain link fences or sat high on the hill above the stadium, all to watch the Wolves and the Mustangs battle over who will display the Jim Geldermann Perpetual Trophy.
For the students at these two high schools, this is the most important game of the season.
"I don't care if this is the only game we win this season, it's the biggest," said MVHS sophomore Tate Meyers. With a grin he added, "We know the kids there. We can rub it in if we win."
The feelings were similar on the San Ramon Valley side. Senior Jessica Walsh said she thinks the Wolves have had a great season so far but this is the game where she wants to see a win. "I would rather win this game than any other game in my four years of high school."
The friendly rivalry between these two teams has persisted for more than 20 years, with the trophy moving back and forth as each team waxed and waned. Last year, behind the strength of SRVHS quarterback Joe Southwick, fans expected to see a rout of the Mustangs, but were surprised to see the Monte Vista team come out on top, 20-14.
This year's game showed almost exactly the same situation, only in reverse. MVHS has had a stellar year in the East Bay Athletic League, amassing a record of 8-1 on the skills of quarterback Brett Nottingham. The Wolves, with Southwick still at the helm, were behind in the record, dropping three games in a row leading up to the match with Monte Vista.
As the game began, the Monte Vista side of the field was lively and raucous, as fans cheered each play and catcalled the Wolves. SRVHS fans cheered, too, but with some cautiousness. That balance changed when Southwick fired two passes over several plays to Bryce Peterson to put the Wolves on the scoreboard six minutes into the first quarter.
A missed field goal kept the score at 6-0 through the remainder of the quarter. In the second quarter, the Mustang's Nottingham marched his team down the field, brooking no opposition until a run up the middle devolved into a tug of war that ended with the Mustangs pushing into the end zone for a touchdown. A solid kick for the extra point put Monte Vista on top, 7-6.
At that point it seemed the tide was turning against the Wolves as the Mustang defense came on line, sacking Southwick for a nine-yard loss. But the Wolves rallied, held strong by Southwick's ability to scramble out of tight spots and still throw passes that found their mark.
A combination of passing and running plays brought the ball downfield and into the red zone when Southwick, unable to find an open man, spotted a hole and ran the ball downfield before being knocked out of bounds on the one-yard line. On the next play, running back Brett Trimble bulled his way up the middle and into the end zone.
A failed attempt at a two-point conversion left the score 12-7, SRVHS, with six minutes left in the quarter. Neither side was able to score before the half was called.
In the second half, the Wolves came out strong while the Mustangs and Nottingham just weren't able to close the deal. Several bullet passes to tight end Zach Ertz and wide receiver Tom Hemmingsen moved the ball down field but just couldn't get it across the goal line.
By contrast, San Ramon's offense seemed to keep finding holes in the Mustang defense. Four minutes into the third quarter it paid off as Trimble scored again. With the extra point made, the score now stood at 19-7.
San Ramon's defense forced turnovers and broke up plays. Defenseman Garrison Goodman intercepted two Nottingham passes and batted down several others to keep the Mustangs from scoring.
SRVHS fans spent most of the fourth quarter on their feet, cheering the Wolves on, and the sound was nearly deafening when a handoff to Trimble led to another score, bringing the tally to 26-7 with 11 minutes to play.
One group of San Ramon High students held up letters to spell out "We Believe" while another began chanting "Overrated."
The clock ran down with no answers from Monte Vista and when the final whistle blew, over a thousand screaming, laughing, weeping San Ramon students climbed the fences surrounding the field and ran out onto the grass to celebrate with their winning team. Geldermann trophy firmly in hand, the Wolves gathered in the middle of the field beaming with joy.
San Ramon Coach Dave Kravitz said he was proud of his team's performance on the field. "They played the consistent, executed game that we've been talking about all season. We've been telling them all season that they're a good team and they can be a great team. And they showed us that out on the field tonight."
Asked about quarterback Southwick's performance, Kravitz said, "Joe wanted this bad, and he delivered out there."
A grinning Joe Southwick agreed with Kravitz' comment. "We were ready to go tonight." He added, "We got together and went after it."
Monte Vista Coach Craig Bergman gave credit to the Wolves for a great game. "I thought they thoroughly outplayed us. They were very prepared for us." He added, "We certainly didn't help things by turning the ball over."
While the Mustangs gained 427 yards over the course of the game, that didn't offset four turnovers. "We had four turnovers in the red zone which shut four drives down. We moved the ball well to the red zone then we stopped."
Bergman and his Mustangs may get another shot at their rivals in the upcoming North Coast Section championship. The Wolves, seeded seventh in the championship, will face off against the San Leandro Pirates at Burrell Field on Saturday. If they win that game, they will go up against the Mustangs on Nov. 28. For more information about the championships, visit www.cifncs.org.
Making their way back to their cars after the game ended, fans from both sides grouped together, talking about the game. No longer divided by a football field, Green and Gold mixed with Red and Black. Friends, many who have known each other since childhood, chatted about the game, the big plays, the final score, enjoying the camaraderie of a shared experience.
Because it is a rivalry, of course, many of the San Ramon fans crowed over the victory and their possession of the coveted trophy, while those on the Monte Vista side uttered the familiar refrain: "Wait 'til next year."

The ancestors of the Lhamon family came from Switzerland. There the name was spelled Lehman. In this country it developed many variations, the most common of which are Layman, Lhamon, Lahmon, and Lemmon.
The immigrant ancestor, John Christian Lehman, settled in Pennsylvania. After his death in 1748, the family moved to Frederick County, Maryland. Nearly fifty years later, part of the family relocated to Rockingham County, Virginia. Later generations continued spreading out to Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,and other states.

The news that Spam (the kind you eat) sales were on the rise should have been enough of a tip-off, but with sales at Starbucks slackening you knew things were getting bad. The number of people applying for food stamps – by people who would never have been expected to before recently – is soaring, as is the price of the most common things we eat. And now on top of everything else some of those items, like rice, are becoming scarce.
'Millions of poor Americans risk going hungry if food prices continue to rise and food agencies struggle to cope with rising costs, dwindling resources and a huge increase in demand,' Chris Bryant wrote in the Financial Times last week. 'Already more and more poor people in the
As if all that weren't bad enough the New York Times reported April 25 that 'After struggling with soaring heating costs through the winter, millions of Americans are behind on electric and gas bills, and a record number of families could face energy shut-offs over the next two months, according to state energy officials and utilities around the country.'
'The escalating costs of heating oil, propane and kerosene, most commonly used in the Northeast, have posed the greatest burdens, officials say, but natural gas and electricity prices have also climbed at a time when low-end incomes are stagnant and prices have also jumped for food and gasoline,' the paper said.
Meanwhile, a recent Reuters report suggests that far more people are going to be losing their homes than we have been led to believe. Indeed, the projection, if accurate, is terrifying. A group of analysts from the Credit Suisse said last week that if
The people who have a fuller picture of the economic state of the union aren't about to tell us how bad things really are. If they can help it, they are certainly not going to offer a negative prognosis even if they are convinced one is warranted. In fact, the current crop of political candidates have been warned not to paint too dismal a picture as it might prompt panic selling or hoarding. There is even the problem of panic saving. If most people use the few hundred dollars in this summer's tax rebate allotments offered by the Bush Administration and Congress to pay down their credit card debt the chief beneficiaries will be Visa and MasterCard and there will be little stimulus to the economy.
However, there are increasing signs that working people aren't buying the current economic reality show: the prices of gas at the pump, salad oil in the supermarket, and a rise in the number of people not finding work have an effect. Consumer confidence is at a 26 year low.
All this is directly connected with this year's Presidential election contest. 'Perhaps the candidates are afraid the American people can't handle the truth about what it would take to meet the nation's economic challenges,' the Times said editorially April 25. 'Or perhaps they are underestimating those challenges. In either case, it's hardly confidence-inspiring at a time of war and economic crisis.'
Following the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania, Boston Globe columnist Derrick Jackson pointed out that contender Barack Obama got the most votes from people who said the Iraq war was the most important issue.' 'But that only accounted for 27 percent of the voters,' he wrote 'Double that said the economy was the most important issue.
'The big issue in this campaign is the economy and jobs. But if you were to ask most voters how Senator Obama plans to fight for them on this crucial matter, you're likely to get a blank stare,' wrote Times columnist Bob Herbert last Saturday. 'He should be pounding that message home with a jackhammer. Give the voters an economic program to wrap their arms around. Let them know: `I'm for you! And this is what we're going to do!" Sounds like reasonable advice.
As I listen to and read the campaign speeches it's clearly not what's happening and I think that's just what those who don't want us to think about the economic pain – and how the way the wars in the Middle East hamper our ability to do anything meaningful about it – would have it. That's the reason for the deliberate effort to turn the contest into one about race. While the media concentrates its attention on Obama's pastor's clumsy – but not entirely inaccurate – views, and the candidate's clumsy – but not entirely inaccurate – sociological take, Sen. Hillary Clinton gets attention for her views on the economy. It's not much to hug; she's still in the trust-me-I-feel-your- pain mode with nothing to offer that in a meaningful way confronts the seriousness of the situation.
And John McCain? He seems to be trying to look like he cares. But Times columnist Gail Collins got his number right: McCain 'the guy, you may remember, who's going to be the Republican presidential nominee – has been visiting the poor lately. Appalachia,

Bouman HJ, Schömig E, van Werkum JW et al. Paraoxonase-1 is a major determinant of clopidogrel efficacy. Nat. Med. 2011;17:110-116.
Clopidogrel is the most important antiplatelet agent identified since aspirin. Its activity, however, is characterized by highly variable efficacy. This variability results from differences among individuals in their ability to metabolize the drug. These differences have clinical consequences, as evidenced by the observation that resistance to clopidogrel is associated with stent thrombosis in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and myocardial infarction in coronary artery disease. Several of the enzymes responsible for the conversion of clopidogrel to its active metabolite have been identified. Cytochrome P450 isozymes are the most widely studied and function in the conversion of clopidogrel to 2-oxo-clopidogrel (Figure). Loss-of-function alleles of the cytochrome P450 2C19 gene are associated with increased stent thrombosis. A genome-wide association study linked CYP2C19 variants with differences in platelet response to clopidogrel. However, CYP2C19 variants account for only 12 percent of the heterogeneity in clopidogrel response. Bouman and colleagues from The Netherlands now show that paraoxonase-1, a second enzyme mediating clopidogrel metabolism, may contribute more significantly to response variability.
They used a metabolic profiling approach to identify enzymes responsible for clopidogrel metabolism. They broke the process down into two stages (Figure): cytochrome P450-mediated oxidation and esterase-mediated thiophene ring hydrolysis. Paraoxonase-1 was identified as the critical esterase in the second stage. In addition, it was noted that the Arg192 allozyme of paraoxonase-1 had a much better cleavage efficiency than the Gln192 allozyme.
The authors then conducted two clinical trials to evaluate the contribution of paraoxonase-1 gene (PON1) variants to variability in response to clopidogrel. In a case-cohort study in individuals who underwent PCI and received clopidogrel for six to 12 months, the authors found that individuals with the QQ192 PON1 variant (encoding the Gln192 allozyme) had a 12-fold increase in stent thrombosis compared with individuals with the RR192 PON1 variant (encoding the Arg192 allozyme). In addition, those with stent thrombosis demonstrated a lower plasma concentration of active metabolite and a higher concentration of 2-oxo-clopidogrel, indicating deficient paraoxonase-1 activity. Individuals with the QQ192 PON1 variant also showed lower inhibition of platelet aggregation following clopidogrel administration. The results of this trial were corroborated in a second clinical trial in which nearly 2,000 individuals with acute coronary syndromes receiving clopidogrel were followed prospectively. This trial demonstrated a 10-fold increased risk of stent thrombosis and a nearly five-fold increase in myocardial infarction in QQ192 versus RR192 homozygous individuals. In contrast, individuals with the QQ192 variant demonstrated a significantly lower risk of bleeding. The authors calculated that the PON1 Q192R polymorphism explained 72.5 percent of the variability in ADP-stimulated platelet aggregation after clopidogrel administration.
The discovery of the PON1 Q192R polymorphism as a determinant of responsiveness to clopidogrel is an important advance in our understanding of this widely used drug. Yet some questions about this finding remain. The reasons why the PON1 gene region was not associated with clopidogrel response variability in a genome-wide association study of an Amish population is not entirely clear. Differences in populations or in methodology of platelet testing between the two studies might explain the discrepancy. Conversely, Bouman et al. did not demonstrate an impact of CYP2C19 genes, which has been previously associated with response variability, in their studies. These discrepancies notwithstanding, the impressive hazard ratio of thrombotic risk associated with the PON1 QQ192 variant in the setting of clopidogrel therapy makes a strong case for further evaluation of this gene variant. If follow-up studies are confirmatory, PON1 genotyping or PON1 activity measurements, perhaps in combination with assessment of CYP2C19, will help guide therapeutic decisions. Such studies will be particularly useful in identifying candidates for newer alternative P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, such as prasugrel or ticagrelor, that do not require similar metabolism.

But the second-generation Acura NSX has a more difficult hill to climb. The first NSX lingered for 15 years and lost much of its original luster. The second NSX was confirmed for production nearly a decade ago.
Huge changes in the second-gen NSX's format, numerous delays, and rapid advancements in the high-end sports car market has made the eventual arrival of the actual Ohio-built NSX less of an event than it deserves to be.

Budget Cuts at Statistics Canada Worry Researchers
Statistics Canada announced Thursday that it has discontinued its annual report on information about academic staffs across Canada. The report, which is widely used by universities, education researchers, and government officials, contains extensive data on faculty members, such as gender, age, discipline, salary, and origins.
The report is not the only data-collection effort under the knife. About half of Statistics Canada's more than 5,000 workers were told on Monday that their jobs were at risk as part of efforts to trim the federal budget, reports the Globe and Mail. Reuters writes that researchers who rely on the agency are afraid that the quality of the data from the Canadian government may suffer in future statistical surveys.Return to Top

Sorry, the book that you are looking for is not available right now.
We did a search for other books with a similar title, and found some results for you that may be helpful.
The prospect of dinner and a movie is always an enticing one. Whether it is a date early on in a relationship with all the apprehension and barely contained frisson that that entails or an opportunity for a child free evening and the chance to watch a full length film of your choice without having to keep your finger on the remote to pause for toilet breaks, the combination of food and cinema is a winning one.
Food is inextricably linked to all aspects of our lives, food for feasts, food to comfort, food to harm and always food to raise the sexual tension. Cinematographers know this too. So often there are dishes in a movie that deserve a mention in the credits so pivotal are they to the storyline. You only have to mention Silence of the Lambs for fava beans and chianti spring into the conversation and apple pie is often off or suddenly back on the menu for anyone who has recently watched American Pie for the first time. Let us get one thing straight here the dishes celebrated in this book are not physically available at the pictures.
Food served in containers too large to be used as airline carryon baggage is not what this book is about. The recipes here are for those movie moments that made you step away from the popcorn bucket. Who doesn't want to slice garlic with a razor blade to create the garlicky spaghetti sauce so lovingly made in Goodfellas or jump through the screen to nibble absolutely everything in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory (including Johnny Depp although that may be just my own fantasy) and every woman on this planet wants what she's having in When Harry met Sally!
So this is your chance, if it was eaten on screen then the recipe for it may well be in this book. Unless of course you fancy making the chilled monkey brains from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in which case I suggest you still buy the book but change your dessert plans. What about a nice Apple Strudel from the Sound of music instead?

It's happening... 875 Bloor St. West is being transformed into the Bad Dog Comedy Theatre! Stay tuned for details about our star-studded launch week happening August 11-16.
Read on for a message about the move from our AD, Julie Osborne:
When Marcel, Kerry & Ralph founded the Bad Dog Theatre Company in 2003, their vision was to create a permanent bricks-and-mortar home for improvised theatre in Toronto. Although we left that first physical home on the Danforth in 2011, Bad Dog never stopped seeking to create the type of environment where this artform could thrive and grow - with an incredible community of artists, students & audience members.
In August, Bad Dog will have a new home.
Our very own theatre designed specifically for improv, teaching space for our growing Academy, storage room for props & costumes, a bar to spend far too much time talking shop in, walls where we can celebrate the rich history of this company and unscripted comedy in Toronto… an address.
In August, the Bad Dog Theatre will open its doors at 875 Bloor St. W.
Upstairs from the post office.
We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Gary, James & Comedy Bar (and now Wayne, too). We couldn't be more excited to help create a true destination corridor for comedy in the Bloorcourt / Bloor & Ossington neighbourhood.
Last summer, Bad Dog undertook a facilitated strategic planning process (made possible by an Ontario Arts Council Compass grant). We set out to clearly define the company's mission, vision and a three-year plan to map our future growth. This huge next step brings us closer than ever to achieving those goals. I want to thank our General Manager Lisa Amerongen and our Board of Directors for all of their work towards this: our president Margaret Eaton (whose leadership has been transformative for this organization), Meagan Crump, Rob Chodos, Bobby Umar & Kenway Yu.
This fall, we will launch our 2014/15 season featuring an expanded repertory cast of 40 resident performers presenting a carefully curated selection of narrative & thematic longform shows and shortform improvisation (including Theatresports, of course) which will run from September 2014 to June 2015. This cast will be supported by a smaller ensemble of emerging artists who will both understudy the company and develop their own work. We will also continue to showcase our Academy students, our performance Studios, our Youth Academy, our resident Micetro specialists: the Rat Pack (both new and old), as well as finally having the proper space and schedule to support and develop our Strike Force ensembles and house teams.
Later this week, we'll be launching submissions for our Summer Test Drive series in July - looking for shows that might be good fits for some of our new calendar openings!
Our Summer Party this past weekend was an amazing celebration of the people who make Bad Dog such an exciting place to work and play… and who make me full-on giddy about what the next year holds. So giddy that I forgot to mention our next Big Project: the Bad Dog Repertory Players' upcoming run of Toronto, I Love You at the Toronto Fringe Festival. The startlingly talented Nick Di Gaetano is joining us for the run, reprising his role from last year's Poinsettia - improvising musically and accompanying the show with a mix of original songs and Canadian covers in this unscripted love letter to the city. The show opens on July 4th at the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse (79 St. George St.). Hope you can come!
I also invite all of you to to join us at Comedy Bar next weekend - on Saturday, June 14 from 1-3pm for our Annual General Meeting.
We have a lot to talk about…
Julie Osborne
Artistic Director, Bad Dog Theatre Company

I think George or Lisa's gonna get cut.
I kind of hope it is Lisa who goes. Yes, she has improved and she's an okay dancer, but I swear, I feel like she's going to have a nervous break down every second of every show. Too much angst for me.
I think Drew had the worst music for this round of competition.
I thank Lisa and Louie for not kissing on the stairs this time around.
The Jive is a perfect example of how formal competition has turned a fun dance into an awful impersonation of the Tasmanian Devil (cartoon edition).
I'd much rather watch Patrick Swayze dancing to this song! :drool
WOW, I loved the Dirty Dancing number
That Dirty Dancing piece was very special. I loved it.
I too am glad Drew made it.

PREMIER Helen Zille and mayor Patricia de Lille were lambasted for slow housing delivery by angry Hangberg residents during a sod-turning ceremony yesterday, but Zille said community division was the biggest factor delaying progress.
Zille and De Lille visited the area for the ceremony for the development of 142 community rental units and were met by a group of residents who were upset that they had not been invited to the meeting.
As the two leaders entered a community hall, people chanted: "Nothing about us without us" and "They shot at us and now they don't want to pay for what they did."
All residents were allowed into the meeting later.
Hangberg residents criticised Zille and De Lille, saying it was the first time they had been in the area since the clashes between residents and police in September 2010.
Residents illegally invaded land on the Sentinel, leading to clashes in which three residents each lost an eye.
In 2011, a peace accord was signed between the Hangberg community and the city.
The development of 142 community rental units is under way to cater for people on the city's housing waiting list which are predominantly from the area.
The city bought four sites in Hangberg to develop community rental units after the 2010 clash.
De Lille said since the breakdown between government and the community in 2010, the city and province had committed to adhering to court-ordered mediation.
"We have worked with the Peace and Mediation Forum to make peace in this community possible.
"After these short years of working towards a common objective, we have finally arrived at this significant day where we begin to cement our relationship for the future," De Lille said.
During the first phase of the development, set for completion early next year, 71 units will be built. The city is busy obtaining approvals for the second phase of another 71 units. The project is worth R61 million.
Zille said: "This is a big day for me, it's a day I thought would come in 2008 already but I've learnt in government that things take a little longer. There are brick walls of regulation and brick walls you don't anticipate. And perhaps the biggest brick wall is divided communities. That has been one of the major challenges in Hangberg."
Zille said since she was mayor in 2007 there was a plan to upgrade informal dwellings in the area but that more people moved on to the site leading to the 2010 clash. She said the aftermath, however, provided an opportunity for parties to sign a peace accord.
"The city and the province are committed to sticking to their side of the bargain. We have communicated well with the Peace and Mediation Forum even though there was internal community conflict which has still not been resolved," Zille said.
One of the former members of the Hangberg Peace and Mediation Forum, Haniefah Lee stood up and shouted at Zille: "I am an elected leader, why are you and the mayor not sticking to the court order. You are working with an illegal structure in the community."
Zille responded: "We work with whoever is elected by the community and we received a letter from you (Lee) that you had resigned from the forum. There was an annual general meeting where the community elected new leadership."
Roscoe Jacobs, of the Hangberg Resident's Association, said: "This is DA electioneering. They say this is going to be rental stock but there was no communication with the community to ask them if that is what they want and how it will be allocated."
Responding to residents' comments, De Lille said: "We have been working with the community and unfortunately it was very difficult. We've had endless meetings… The beneficiaries of the rental units, they know who they are. With the community, we selected the beneficiaries to deal with the backlog of housing."
Greg Louw, vice chairman of the newly elected Hangberg Peace and Mediation Forum, said: "The biggest problem we've got is a small minority that always want to keep the community back. We have a court order that makes it very clear, there's a partnership between SANParks, provincial government, the city and the Hangberg community in the form of leaders that the community has appointed."
He said the last housing development in Hangberg was in 1992 and said the rental units was a step in the right direction.
"There are no houses to accommodate people on the waiting list, this is a good resolution. Why must it be stopped by individuals?" Louw said.
Moses Egypt, father of Delon Egypt who was shot with a rubber bullet and lost his eye during the clashes with police in 2010 was not impressed by De Lille and Zille's appearance.
"My son has the most serious form of epilepsy, they shot his eye out. He still has the bullet in his head. He can't work now. I am not interested in them, they shot his eye out and put a bullet in his head," Egypt said.

PM Nguyen Tan Dung receives Indian Minister of Commerce, Industry and Textiles Anand Sharma. (Image: VNA)
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung made this statement at a reception for visiting Indian Minister of Commerce, Industry and Textiles Anand Sharma in Hanoi on March 8.
Dung said Minister Sharma's visit to Vietnam will contribute to further boosting Vietnam – India co-operation on the basis of the two countries' great potential.
The two countries have seen strong development in economic, trade and investment co-operation over the past years with two-way trade reaching nearly US$4 billion last year.
Dung said he believes that strong development will be a driving force for the two countries to achieve US$7 billion in bilateral trade in the future.
The PM said he hopes India will create favourable conditions for Vietnamese goods to enter the country, affirming Vietnam always supports India's investment projects in Vietnam, especially large-scale projects.

The Ministry of Education says it is ready to account for the GH¢85 million facility from CAL Bank to construct two-storey dormitories and six-unit classroom blocks in senior high schools, in contrast to recent media reports.
"We wish to state for the records that we have not failed to account for the facility neither are we refusing to do so," the Ministry said in a statement released on Friday, March 21.
It asserted that the money was not even lodged with the Ministry.
The statement, signed by Paul Kofi Krampah, the Director of Public Relations at the Ministry, said the matter came up in Parliament just to ambush the Deputy Minister of Education, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and "when given proper notice, we will furnish Parliament with the full records."
"We wish to assure the good people of Ghana that the Ministry of Education is ready to fully account to Parliament when invited."

The N2838A 25-GHz ZIF (zero insertion force) tips come with plastic sporks to aid in soldering the tips to the device under test. The tip uses a PC board substrate, making it a highly durable and convenient probing solution.
The N2836A InfiniiMax III 26-GHz solder-in head is an economical semipermanent connection that provides up to 26 GHz of system bandwidth. The ZIF tip and solder-in head come pre-attached with a pair of damping resistors for eliminating the distortion and loading that affect probes with in-band resonances. They are user replaceable, so an engineer with a damaged resistor tip can simply solder a new damping resistor to the tip and quickly resume work.
InfiniiMax III differential active probes offer up to 30 GHz of high-bandwidth performance for measuring differential signals, with superior signal integrity and flexible connectivity solutions for today's high-density integrated circuits and circuit boards. These probes are compatible with Agilent's Infiniium 90000 X- and Q-Series oscilloscopes.

Fun item. Bought for our grown-up sons to take them back to their childhood Christmases. Good quality and everything worked. Like many remote controlled toys handling takes practice!

I bought this Remote Control Helicopter Gyro as a present for an 18 year old. After an hours practice he was able to fly it around the kitchen. The box includes spare blades but no batteries and you spend more time recharging than flying. But it is fun and good value for an unusual R/C vehicle.

Experts have found heavy metals in the body is poisoned journalist Kara-Murza
In the body of the journalist, Deputy Chairman of party PARNASSUS Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr., filed a month ago, a statement to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation on the assassination attempt on his life after the events of the spring of 2015, when he is in a serious condition was taken to the hospital, found a significant excess of permissible for an individual concentration of certain substances, reports RBC with reference to the opinion of the French expert Pascal Kintse.
The document States that the samples of blood, fingernails, urine and hair were taken the evening of 29 may 2015 – three days after the state policy has sharply deteriorated. The study was conducted on 30 may in the laboratory, which is located in oberhausbergen in the French Department of the Lower Rhine.
The main conclusion is that in the samples studied was considerably exceeded the concentration of four heavy metals: manganese – 59.5 times (in samples of hair were found 33,9 a nanogram to milligrams), copper – by 1.8 times (112 nanograms per milligram) zinc – 2.25 times (473 a nanogram per milligram), mercury – in 1,2 times (2,01 a nanogram per milligram).
Thus iron in the body was found 19 times less than the minimum acceptable level (0.68 nanogram per milligram). Experts have not yet began to make conclusions, as evidenced by these results.
Specialists also found in the body Kara-Murza Jr. traces of some medications, including the flu, but health policy these substances had no effect. Experts came to the conclusion that the Chairman of the party PARNAS didn't use drugs.
Myself Kara-Murza Jr. drew the attention of RBC, which held the French study is not quite representative, since the samples for analysis were taken immediately after hospitalization. "I am absolutely convinced that it was attempted murder on purpose to stop my political activity. There is no doubt that it was poisoning, because that was the official diagnosis. Does not happen out of the blue, in a healthy person started within a few hours to disconnect all major life-supporting organs", – said the politician.
His lawyer Vadim Prokhorov in an interview with reporters, said that the French study was transmitted to the investigative Department of the Khamovniki district of Moscow Department of the TFR. The lawyer believes that now the Agency needs to appoint an expert examination in the framework of the preliminary investigation. "We have no ready version than was poisoned Kara-Murza. But, apparently, some kind of intentional poisoning occurred, as can be seen from these data," – said Prokhorov.
According to the victim, now investigators must find out who and what he was poisoned. Kara-Murza believes that it is not about household poisoning: he sure used "a complex substance". "As a rule, such poisons are either relevant special bodies, or the people from such authorities", – said the politician.
Journalist and opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr. was hospitalized in the First city hospital on may 26 last year with Zubovsky Boulevard in Moscow with a diagnosis of "hypotension". According to doctors, he was in serious but stable condition. On 3 June, the chief doctor at the hospital confirmed that the patient came out of the coma.
May 28, 2015 Vladimir Kara-Murza is a senior reported "Interfax" that his son was diagnosed with "acute renal failure". In an interview to "echo of Moscow" the journalist's father said the family will try to take the victim abroad for treatment.
He added that he asked the doctors, "could this be a crime". "They said it could be anything: yesterday's burrito, banana, Apple. I think there is no crime there," said the father of the victim.
Vladimir Kara-Murza Jr. – son of the famous journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza, a member of the Federal political Council of the party PARNAS, co-chair of which was killed in February of this year, Boris Nemtsov.

Next week will show whether most of us are opting to forget our troubles — and in many cases fears for the future of our jobs — and deciding to eat, drink, and be merry this Christmas, come what may.
Locally, retailers seem cautiously optimistic, while nationally, chains are slashing prices to force takings up above last year's figure.
Graham Jones, of the Oxford High Street Association and pressure group Rescue Oxford, said: "Its too early to judge what takings will be. You never really know that till the first week in January. But I think Christmas sales will be pretty good this year."
He added that in order to encourage customers to cheer themselves up by spending their money in Oxford shops, more than 25 largely independent stores would get together this evening to offer discounts, along with mulled wine and mince pies.
He said: "With the after-effects of the recession and VAT going up in January, I thought it was time to give Oxford a boost.
"There will be a tremendous number of offers and these are largely independent stores from across the city centre, including the covered market."
Jonathan Pearson, managing director of Boswell's department store in Broad Street, said: "We wanted to create a special shopping event and chose Thursday because it is traditionally late-night shopping.
"It is the independent and small chains that make Christmas shopping in Oxford special."
He added that sales so far this year had been up on last but that he was not "100 per cent confident" this would still be the case by the end of 2010.
June Suliman, co-owner of the Rainbow and Spoon Boutique in Frideswide Square, said: "The event is a very good idea. We all need a bit of help as everyone is cutting back and making do."
Richard Alden, of Hayman's Fisheries, which has a store in the Covered Market and another on the Osney Mead Industrial Estate, said he hoped food sales would be helped by the trend for families — now more widely dispersed than in former years — to have more than one feast between Christmas and New Year.
He said everyone was keeping their fingers crossed, but he personally was a "glass-half-full man".
With Lord Young's recent remarks about consumers "never having had it so good" still reverberating down the corridors of power, many analysts were loath to comment on the fact that some of us who still have jobs may have more, not less, cash to spend this year.
But Dr Jonathan Reynolds, of Oxford University's Institute of Retail Management at the Saïd Business School, said: "Perception is everything, and consumer confidence is down. There are more pessimists than optimists about and many people are postponing major purchases."
He said that household spending fell £20 last year to £450 a week as people saved their money for possible rainy days ahead, and pointed out that by pooling resources larger families saved most — it being cheaper to live together.
But he also said that with families becoming more fragmented, and travelling longer distances for Christmas and New Year reunions, many households were planning to have several celebrations, which could boost food sales.
He added: "Some stores are recognising this trend by offering ready meals at £10 for two.
"And on the non-food side, some people are thinking to themselves 'buy it now' before VAT goes up."
But one feel-good factor could be missing this year — the one engendered in home-owners for so long in the past by the seemingly relentless rise in the price of their greatest asset, their house.
Dr Reynolds said: "Again, it is all down to perception. The big test will come on Saturday, December 18; that is the big day. It seems that even when families cut back on present-giving, they still go on giving to the children.
"And in the past it has been shown that when times are hard people still try and cheer themselves up at Christmas. And so-called Black Monday this week, when many people bought online, was pretty good."
But he agreed no-one really knows the truth about how sales have gone until about a week after Christmas.
Uncertainty continues in the local economy, with Mr Jones pointing out that tourism had held up well in September but that October and November had been less good.
On the national front, the Confederation of British Industry warned in the November British Retail Cosortium Economic Briefing Report that even if Christmas sales are high, harder times could be ahead as the VAT increase — starting on January 4 — bites.
It said: "High street sales growth held up well in November, and retailers are hopeful that the run-up to Christmas will be just as strong. However, looking into the New Year, retail sales growth may lose some of its sparkle as consumers rein in spending after Christmas.
"Confidence remains fragile. . . a combination of weak wage growth and high inflation is eating into household incomes."
Other ominous news from researchers was that food inflation is rising. In the supermarkets it went up by by 4.4 per cent in October, according to a BRC-Nielsen survey, leaving less money to spend on discretionary goods.
And the grocery price rises are there despite the level and depth of in-store promotions being at record highs.
Dr Tim Denison, director of retail intelligence and retail psychologist at analysts Synovate, said in the report: "Food inflation is unwelcome news for non-food retailers, especially in the run-up to Christmas and with the VAT increase just around the corner. It is particularly worrisome to high street fashion retailers, themselves facing record high cotton prices.
"With suppliers already having been squeezed hard, there are few cards for retailers to play over the coming months. We can expect to see the high street snow-deep in promotions over the winter to stimulate demand, but retailers will find it difficult to avoid passing some of the rising costs on to consumers."
Happy Christmas, everyone.

DISCLAIMER on previous posting.
Dr. Jim Gschwind
The Despondent Corresponde
For those of you who were offended by my what libs think post: Understand what your parents told
you many years ago…"you are known by those you hang around with"……so if you believe in God,
understand that while it is a "broad" generalization (which means there is a MINORITY that don't
think that way…..you are identified by conservatives due to the fact that the MAJORITY of your
fellow libs believe "in God we trust" should not be on our money, believe there should be no public
prayer in schools or anywhere (unless you are Moslem then Alla must have given you an exception),
We can't call Christmas by it's proper name and kids go on "holiday vacation" now and there must
not be any roadside crosses nor nativity scenes in town scare. MOST of your fellow libs believe
pregnancy is a "Disease" and promote the killing of unborn……..these are the people you are "identifying with",
if you are a lib and don't believe these things then you "might not be a lib", unless you voted for a
"self avowed" (in his own words and in his auto-biography published before last election) communist then
you are what HE IS and his minions.
Remember (the bible) you are known by your friends…..so understand that while most liberals act this way, and you may not, by identifying with lliberals, you are inheriting what most people think of liberals. It means you are throwing yourself into their whole agenda. If you do not believe what liberals believe then you shouldn't be offended and I will apologize to those people INDIVIDUALLY, but not as a GROUP. I stand by the definitions of "MOST" liberals.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada rock band ART OF DYING has released a video for the acoustic version of the song "Sorry". Inspired by ART OF DYING's fans' reaction to the original release of "Sorry" the acoustic video incorporates "fan pics" with the new version of the song.
"Recently we had the chance to get into the studio with producer Dan Donegan from DISTURBED to lay down an acoustic version of 'Sorry'," explains ART OF DYING lead singer Jonny Hetherington. "We've been so touched by all of the 'Sorry' profile pics over the last few months that we decided to make a video for the acoustic version of the song featuring our biggest fans. Thanks for making this video possible; we couldn't have done it without you!"
"Sorry" is the third single off ART OF DYING's major label debut, "Vices And Virtues" and is currently Top 15 on the Active Rock chart.

A few hours ago Congress demonstrated the fallacy of democracy, mob rule. But what were we to expect other than sodomy from Democrats, and a RINO?
That's right. I consider this to be as much a rape of the American people by Congress as any rape in any county jail or prison by the stronger inmate.
Note also that those committing the rape will not participate in the same swallowing or forced entry into their lives. Nope, they are, after all, better than thou.
Not to mention, that while this Tijuana donkey show was being presented all sorts of other nefarious things were being played out elsewhere while you were being distracted.
The economy is still in a shambles. For every stupid Biden pronouncement there are are those stubborn facts that get in the way. Unemployment is still way up there, and that is even with the artificial deflated numbers being reported. Figure it out; the statistics only show people that are collecting UIB. A lot of people have dried up any benefits, and don't get counted.
The stock market is a joke. Sure, a few are up, barely. Those that are seem to have one striking similarity. They are companies that are owned and operated by Obama cronies. Do the names Warren Buffett and George Soros ring a bell? Can you say "Salesman?" The people that are telling us that the economy is better are nothing more than pitchmen whose livelihood depends on you believing that they do indeed have the latest and the greatest.
Sounds a lot like Chicago and New Orleans politics to me. Sounds about like obama respecting dead Americans…
We may not be able to wait until "Judgment Day" 2010.
And people actually wonder why the Militia Movement is growing by leaps and bounds?

Yesterday I quoted Laurence Tribe's argument -- with which, from a non-lawyer standpoint, I agree -- that the Obama Administration did the right thing in moving ahead with recess appointments to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the National Labor Relations Board. Obama did so despite the Senatorial ruse of "pro forma" sessions, lasting a minute or two, which are designed specifically to thwart the recess-appointment power.
A case worth considering on the other side -- ie, not just a reflex denunciation of "an unprecedented power-grab to impose a socialist agenda on America" etc -- comes today from another eminent professor, Bruce Ackerman of Yale, in the LA Times. He makes the point that while today's Senate Republicans have pushed the obstruction-and-nullification campaign to a new extreme, they are using a tool first introduced by Democrats under George W. Bush -- although at that point, the Democrats held a majority in the Senate, unlike today's Republican minority. Ackerman says that Obama is obliged to resist this over-reach, but he should find a way to do so that doesn't lead to further distortion of Executive-Congressional relations and even worse dysfunction in the long run. Eg:
In the present standoff... 45 [Republican Senators] have said they would reject all other nominees for that [CFPB] position until the president agreed to fundamental changes in the Dodd-Frank law that organized the new bureau. If Obama can't respond to this Republican blockade with a recess appointment, he has no way to fulfill his constitutional responsibility to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed."... But he has chosen the worst possible way to launch his attack.
And Ackerman goes on to explain why he thinks that is so and what Obama should do instead. Meta-point: in the short run we're talking economic and regulatory policy and the contest between Obama's Democratic party and Mitch McConnell's Republicans. But in the long run the questions about Senate performance, and about claims of Executive power in response, bear on whether and how our Constitutional scheme of "checks and balances," which will celebrate its 225th birthday this year, can adapt for viable function in modern circumstances.
Bonus Freudian slip item:
Yesterday I quoted a former staff member for a Republican U.S. Senator on the whole Obama-v-McConnell question. He said, in passing, "The Republican majority in the Senate is obviously trying to prevent Executive Branch agencies lawfully established from functioning. In the Cordray case..."
A reader in the Middle East wrote in with this catch:
"The Republican majority in the Senate is obviously..."
So not only do they get to filibuster as a minority and roadblock the system (allowing the press to proclaim "defeat" on measures passed by the majority), now the Republicans are deeming themselves to have an actual majority! "Perception is reality"
Obviously just a typo by the former staffer, but an interesting one.

I've read that some people believe that they suffered fat loss or indentations from Fraxel Restore. Is this a concern?
Does Fraxel Restore Cause Fat Loss or Indentations?
Doctor Answers 4
Fraxel does not cause fat loss
Fraxel does not penetrate to the depth of the fatty compartment. It helps stimulate collagen. I am not aware of any physician-documented reports of fatty atrophy received by Fraxel's company.You should discuss this with your physician if you are interested in receiving the treatment.

Fraxel Restore causing fat loss or indentations?
I can't see this happening with Fraxel Restore and personally have neither seen this nor heard of it.
Might you be referring to "old" Thermage when that technology first came out? In some rare instances there was report of an occasional over-treatment which did cause some indentations from fat loss. With the current Thermage protocols that should never happen.
Fraxel Restore does not reach the fat layers in the skin so the only way this could even potentially occur with a different similar laser is if a technician stacked the laser pulses over and over in the same area.
Fraxel's delivery technology makes this theoretically impossible as the laser stops firing once the handpiece stops moving. The Fraxel laser uses a "roller" that glides over the skin and unless it's moving, nothing happens. It's a built in safety mechanism and one of the reasons I like both Fraxel Restore and Fraxel Repair.
Of course as physicians we all want to investigate anything we've not been exposed to. So in joining in Dr. Persky's query, let us know where you've read of this problem.
Fraxel re:store, Does it Cause Fat Loss and Indentations?
Hi Dj,
I have treated hundreds of patients with Fraxel re:store for the past 5 years without seeing any loss of fat or indentations. I have not read any reports of this type of adverse event in our medical scientific journals.
Therefore I do not consider this a concern. Please let us know where you have read these reports.
Thank you and be well.
