Another day, another propaganda video for your kids to enjoy:
Hey kids, here's a healthy dose of reality with a grope and search:
I wonder why TSA didn't include that in their info-cartoon…
The business I am currently engaged in has me going out to various residences around the St. Louis area. I meet with numerous families throughout the day. Some rich, some poor. One thing I've noticed is that many of the parents I meet, no matter how rich or poor, are wishing the holidays to be over with, as soon as possible!
I don't get it.
Jesus is the reason for the season, not gifts, nor holiday shopping, nor big feasts.
Christians in America have been sucked into the pit of secularism and commercialism. For that, they are suffering. Suffering because they no longer await the celebration of our Savior's birth with joy in their hearts. Suffering because they foolishly think they need to buy the greatest, most perfect gifts for everyone. And, suffering at the thought of their next credit card statement…
They no longer place Christ at the center of their lives. Instead, they place materialism at the center.
Again, I don't get it.
God has already given us the greatest, most perfect gift anyone could ever give to another; eternal life through His son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
How could one ever possibly think to outdo God in the gift giving department? And, to top it off, God payed off, in full, OUR own, personal credit card debts with the blood of His only begotten son!
So, I don't get it. God has already done the shopping, paying, and suffering. Who are we to even think we can come close to God's gift giving?
We can't.
Therefore, I pray that you, along with all my fellow Americans and Christians, will forget about those ridiculous secular trappings associated with Christmas and just use today as a time to reflect on the gloriousness of the greatest, most perfect gift mankind has ever received: Jesus Christ; our Propitiation, Redeemer, Lord and Savior.
Today, I received a letter from Sen. McCain. Naturally, it was just another form letter designed to scare Republicans out of their hard-earned money:
From: John McCain
To: DoctorBulldog_mail(at)YAHOO.COM
Barack Obama and the Democrats are falsely claiming a mandate from last year's election in order to continue to advance their ultra-left agenda of ever-expanding government, massive deficits, and class warfare.
We must act immediately to strengthen and expand our Party for the 2013-2014 election cycle. And we must remain true to our conservative principles so that we can put brakes on the disastrous policies of a second-term Obama administration.
I am determined to do whatever I can to ensure our Party has the resources to win in future elections. That's why I've asked the Republican National Committee if I can write to you today to urge you to support the RNC's efforts to elect Republicans at all levels in the 2013-2014 elections.
By acting today, you will be reaffirming your personal commitment to stand up for an America where low taxes, free enterprise, limited government, individual responsibility, and a strong military are the building blocks to a prosperous and secure future for our nation and our families.
Barack Obama campaigned on the promise that he would bring our country together, reach beyond partisanship to solve our country's critical problems.
Instead, President Obama has proven to be one of the most divisive leaders our nation has ever seen.
The bottom line is this: We need your personal commitment today to help ensure that we elect Republicans who will fight for the initiatives and policies that will build a strong America and stop Barack Obama and the Democrats' misguided policies.
With 38 governorships, 35 Senatorial, 435 Congressional and thousands of offices at stake up-and-down the ballot, we will need to spend tens of millions of dollars on candidate recruitment, opposition research, voter identification and grassroots organizing.
It is often said that "elections have consequences," and never has that been truer than what we are witnessing now. Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress have clearly shown that they are determined to take our country down a far-reaching, radical and destructive path.
Right now, nothing is more critical than stopping them.
Please contribute $14 today to help provide the foundation for Republican victories in 2014.
John McCain
Naturally, I just couldn't pass up on the opportunity to respond to Comrade McCain. Below is my response:
Dear John McCain,
I voted for you and ex-Governor Palin in 2008. I am sorry that you lost. Not because I thought you, personally, would make a great President, but because I believed, and still believe, that ex-Governor Palin would have MADE you a great President!
That being said, if you and your Neo-Progressive GOP establishment were legitimately serious about putting the brakes on the Democrats' and the Obama Administration's disastrous, Communist policies, then you most certainly would have fully supported Senator Ted Cruz and his pseudo filibuster!
Yet, you failed to support him. In fact, you fatuously belittled Sen. Cruz in a most public way! Shame on you and the entire Neo-Progressive GOP establishment! You are part of the problem, John. You and the Neo-Progressive GOP establishment are out of touch with the majority of Americans.
Currently, the largest ideological group in America is not Moderate nor Liberal; it's Conservative. Think about that. You are disenfranchising 40 percent of America, my friend!
John, you have been handed a golden opportunity to make history and revive a GOP which is currently in its death-throes. You will not be able to save the patient unless you assiduously and legitimately embrace the Tea Party Conservatives, thus breathing new life into the GOP. I don't care what you've been told or think; the GOP will not survive without incorporating the Tea Party Conservatives in a very real and meaningful way.
Also, quit worrying about appeasing and kowtowing to the "Lame Stream Media" (as ex-Gov. Palin likes to call them). It's absolutely embarrassing. How's that strategy working out for you, John? What are you? A man or a puppet?
The LSM is the bastard love child of Communism. President Ronald Reagan (the second greatest President, ever, in my humble opinion) NEVER kowtowed to Communism in any form. Neither should you. Furthermore, you will NEVER appease the LSM as long as you claim ownership of that "R" next to your name on the ballot. So, either stop your vain attempts at mollifying the LSM, or come out of the closet and declare yourself a Democrat in order to garner favoritism from a far-Left leaning LSM. One or the other, John.
Tangentially, your seemingly constant state of obsequiousness to the LSM has me wondering, do you really think so maladroitly of your constituents that you actually think you need to get the LSM on your side in order to win an election? They are NEVER on your side, yet you still keep winning your coveted Senate seat. So, what's the deal with all that fatuous suck-up-ism?
Face it, John, the GOP establishment is dead unless it genuinely supports and embraces the Tea Party Conservative movement which has swept America in the past few years. No, I don't mean merely paying Conservatives a bunch of lip service while surreptitiously sawing off their legs in order to fit them into a Procrustean bed designed by a group of misguided, egotistical Neo-Progressive GOP'ers. Make your guest beds longer, my friend, not your guests' legs shorter!
True comradeship within the ENTIRE Republican Party is the golden key you and your Neo-Progressive GOP establishment seems to have lost. What I am saying is that you MUST veraciously and unquestionably support and embrace the Tea Party Conservatives in order to save the GOP! No more hollow words or empty promises. No more backstabbing and fatuous belittlement of Tea Party Conservatives. No more elitism and backroom deals.
Until such a time as that, you and the rest of your Progressive GOP buddies will get NO HELP from the likes of me, nor from the likes of most Conservatives and Moderates.
I believe it was Lee Atwater who popularized the term, "The Big Tent." Well, don't you think it's about time that your Big Tent genuinely provide accommodations for the Right, too, instead of just pretending it does when it really doesn't?
– Doctor Bulldog
What a sad commentary on the idiocy of many Americans. No wonder Obama is still in office!
The public indoctrination centers of America (public schools) would be proud:
You just know that on day one of Obamacare's roll-out, CNN's senior medical correspondent, Elizabeth Cohen, was thinking that she would immediately log onto the government's healthcare website; enroll in Obamacare; and, file a glowing report about how wonderful and majestic the government run healthcare system was.
Well, two weeks later, she's been at it every single day and the reality of just how much of a failure the Obamacare roll-out is seems to be finally sinking in…
Here's my little theory on the GovernMENTAL Shutdown:
It was orchestrated as a side show to distract the public from the disastrous roll-out of Obamacare.
Clearly, the Government knew Obamacare would not be ready for its roll-out on October 1st, 2013.
Naturally, as seems to be the standard operating procedure for our current incompetent Government, they needed another huge distracted. Else, ALL the major Lame Stream Media networks and newspapers would hammer them mercilessly with news reports of Obamacare failures. So, Boehner (wittingly or unwittingly—it doesn't matter—), Obama, and Reid orchestrated a side-show distraction on the very same, EXACT day that Obamacare rolled out: The shutdown of the U.S. Government.
Interestingly enough, the GovernMENTAL Shutdown doesn't seem to have affected the Government at all—they're all still going about their business as usual, which is, giving the American People the "bird," 24/7.
Anyway, here's CBS actually doing some real reporting. Of course, this is on the MORNING show and I would be EXTREMELY surprised if it ever makes its way to the EVENING news:

01 February 2013 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
ScinoPharm, Foresee form joint venture for drug development
ScinoPharm has committed to invest $3.6 million for a minority ownership in the new company
Singapore: Taiwanese company ScinoPharm and US-based Foresee Pharmaceuticals have signed an investment agreement to form a joint venture. This venture will develop a series of peptide injectable drugs with the first being a new oncological Leuprolide injectable drug product, where Leuprolide will be formulated in a proprietary controlled-release drug delivery system originally developed by Foresee and transferred to the joint venture.
ScinoPharm has committed to invest $3.6 million for a minority ownership in the new company.
This peptide injectable drug is for treatment of prostate cancer and will be the first new drug investment made by ScinoPharm. The pivotal phase III clinical trial is planned for late 2013, and the regulatory submission of the new drug application will be via Provisions of CFR 505(b)(2) in the US. Pending a successful filing and NDA approval, the product is expected to be launched in the US in 2016-17 with international filings to follow.
ScinoPharm will be the exclusive provider of Leuprolide active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the joint venture and will further work with Foresee to develop additional new peptide drugs utilizing Foresee's proprietary controlled-release drug delivery platform technology and ScinoPharm's manufacturing capability to capitalize on the peptide injectable market. According to the 2011 market statistics, the global market for Leuprolide products was roughly $2.6 billion and expecting strong growth in the near future.
"This collaboration with Foresee signifies ScinoPharm's strategic move into the new drug development field with focus on applying new drug delivery technologies involving oncological APIs. We are expanding our capabilities into the formulation sector providing our existing clients with one-stop service for oncological and peptide APIs and drug products, capitalizing on our expertise and leadership in their development and manufacturing," said Dr Jo Shen, president and CEO of ScinoPharm. She also expressed ScinoPharm's admiration and respect for the technical competence and professionalism of the Foresee management team in addressing pharmaceutical business challenges and opportunities.
Dr Ben Chien, CEO of Foresee Pharmaceuticals, stated, "The strategic partnership between ScinoPharm and Foresee will enable Foresee to expedite the development of sustained release drug products to benefit patients. Foresee has long established relationships with several well-known preclinical and clinical development CROs. ScinoPharm's expertise and leadership in active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing and drug product development will play a critical role for the Joint Venture to successfully develop the Leuprolide injectable drug product. We are all excited about the opportunity to work with the ScinoPharm team to bring high quality and better therapeutics to patients."

DENVER — Soaring when they hit the Mile High City, the Blackhawks were brought back to earth in spectacular fashion and their historic run is history.
The Hawks didn't just lose for the first time this season in regulation, they looked sluggish in doing it as the Avalanche crushed them 6-2 Friday night at Pepsi Center.
After a first half of the season during which they could do no wrong, everything fell apart for the Hawks as their 24-game run to begin the 2013 season was halted. Also ended was the Hawks' franchise-record 11-game winning streak and the 30 consecutive contests with at least one point dating back to last season.
"We had our chances to stay close but we didn't play smart enough in our own zone — it came down to that," captain Jonathan Toews said. "We've been fortunate to play well enough to make it this far and it's something we can be proud of. We'll take the confidence we gained from all that and keep going forward. Everyone knows you can't win them all."
Losing puck battles, failing in the faceoff circle and looking winded during their sixth game in nine nights, the Hawks fell to 21-1-3 in 2013. It was their first defeat in regulation since March 25, 2012 against the Predators.
"We're not happy we didn't get two points but we're certainly proud of the start we had," defenseman Duncan Keith said. "It wasn't easy playing that many games in a short period of time and doing what we did. We're proud of it but it will be nice to move on now and look forward to Sunday's game."
When they take the ice Sunday night against the Oilers at the United Center, the Hawks will do so for the first time this season with a regulation loss.
"We've lost games before in our lives," Keith said. "It's not like we're going to sit here and cry now. We just move on and try and be better next game."
The Hawks actually jumped in front early in the opening period on a Toews goal, but the Avs — who looked a step quicker than the Hawks all game — mounted an offensive attack that stunned goaltender Corey Crawford for five consecutive goals from five different players.
Matt Duchene had a goal and three assists, Paul Stastny and PA Parenteau each had a goal and two helpers, Ryan O'Reilly a goal and an assist and John Mitchell and Jamie McGinn also scored for the Avs, who avenged a 3-2 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday night at the United Center. Bryan Bickell also scored for the Hawks but it wasn't nearly enough.
Semyon Varlamov earned the victory in goal for the Avalanche while Crawford took the loss, lasting two periods before he Ray Emery replaced him to start the third.
"I just didn't have it," Crawford said. "I didn't give our guys a chance. I have to be better than that."
Toews opened the scoring in the first off a pretty passing play with Brandon Saad and Marian Hossa. He eventually scored off a give-and-go with Hossa and the Hawks appeared to be off and running.
Stastny tied it late in the first while the Avs were on a power play when he redirected a Duchene shot. The Avs owned the second with four goals to erase any doubt that it wasn't the Hawks' night. Duchene flipped a backhander past Crawford, Mitchell rifled one in from the slot, O'Reilly scored from the high slot with a man advantage and McGinn tucked the puck past Crawford to end the second-period onslaught.
The barrage also ended Crawford's night as coach Joel Quenneville turned to Emery. Crawford yielded the five goals on 19 shots to drop to 11-1-3 on the season.
In the third, Bickell cut the Hawks' deficit to 5-2 when the winger blasted a one-timer from the right dot past Varlamov. Parenteau ended the scoring and not long after many in the Pepsi Center crowd began changing "end of streak, end of streak."
In the end, the Avalanche had done just that, as the Hawks could begin reflecting on the NHL record of 24 games to start the season without a regulation loss.
"It's pretty amazing to make it this far, halfway through the shortened season," Toews said. "We'll bounce back from this one."

Would you like to write a saga about a spaceship with a womanizing captain, an awkward scientist/philosopher, a maniacal doctor, a drunk engineer, a voluptuous communications officer, a communist pilot, and a gay helmsman? Well, this Macintosh 128 won't help.
If your name were Gene Roddenberry, however, that would have been a piece of cake. Still, if you are an Star Trek fan, you may be interested in bidding for this original Macintosh 128 with serial number F4200NUM0001, owned by the sci-fi genius himself. According to that number, it was the 776th Mac 128, manufactured during the 20th week of 1984 in Fremont, California.
It's exactly like the one I have—including the Macintosh team signatures etching inside—except mine was manufactured on the 28th week of 1984.
Profiles in History—who got all their facts wrong in their press release, hopefully not the bit about this being Roddenberry's computer—is going to auction the computer and the extra floppy drive at the beginning of October. It has an estimated sale price of $800 to $1200, which seems quite cheap, knowing who the owner was. [Dvice]

Night Vale Cross Stitch, Finally!
Hello Stitchers! I have some special charts for you today. I have been working on these Welcome to Night Vale cross stitch charts on and off for six months, and I have been dieing to share them. It was not till the other day that I realized it had been four months since I made a blog post! It has been a long and crazy four months: I re-injured my shoulder (don't wrestle drunk bike messengers kids), my roommate is still pretty sick but is at the Mayo Clinic right now getting the "Dr. House" work up , and I got to scratch "Have dog with mohawk" scratched off my bucket list.
(Sir Murphy Loves it)
Thankfully things are starting to calm a bit and I can get back to charting nerdy things on a more frequent basis.
I have quite a few Night Vale charts for you today, and tried to make patterns for all level of stitcher. To save space I had to shrink some of the images, so hopefully you get a good idea of how they might look. I also added some technique info and "just marks" versions of most patterns for those of you who like to adjust colors, or just don't like having the colors filled in. Most patterns are also multi-paged, to make them easier to ready without having to enlarge them from a single PDF page.
As always please contact me with any questions, comments, offerings of chocolate, broken links, pattern issues, pictures of puppies, or pics of your creations (my favorite).
*click on my FAQ page if you need help reading or downloading patterns.
On many of the patterns I have the script "empty", or as "background". I have a very good reason for this, so I made up this sample of several ways to tackle lettering. You can use these techniques to personalize my patterns or to help you tackle letters surrounded by stitching on any patterns you create.
My favorite way for dealing with script on a solid stitched background is #1 and #7, back stitching around the "empty" background fabric.
I find #1 to be cleaner and easier to read than just stitching in the number flat, like #5, #10, and #(1)3.
#1 and #7 give greater depth, texture, and clarity than no back stitch on an empty background like in #(1)1 or the muddyness of cross and back stitching in the same color like #3, #8, and #1(3).
I also find that having back stitching in a color contrasting neighboring stitches like #1,#4,#6,#7,#9, or#(1)2, make the symbols much easier to read than having similar colors like #2,#8, or #11.
If you are using a large fabric or grid to work on, like monks cloth, the back stitching might not have as great a visual impact on any kind of script or numerals you might use, so these samples might not hold as much weight for you. As always, make some samples first to see if your thread count or back stitching technique need adjusting.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
GPU Coin (GPUC) is a new Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor cryptocoin that just recently launched and being a ScryptN crypto coin and not a standard Scrypt crypto simply means that you need to use another miner that supports the coin algorithm. If you haven't mined for VertCoin, then you might not have used the vertcoin miner which is essentially a fork of cgminer with support for Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor crypto currency mining. Below you can find and download vertminer 0.5.3 for mining GPU Coin on windows and start mining as soon as GPUC reaches its 2600th block. This will happen in a few hours and you should start mining the coin only after block 2600, because the blocks before that are all with a reward of 1 GPUC. Starting from block 2600 the per solved block reward will go all the way up to the standard reward of 20000 GPUC, so no reason to start mining before block 2600, unless you just want to test and be sure that everything has been setup and works. Note that when mining for Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor crypto currencies such as GPU Coin you will see lower hashrate like for example half of the normal hashrate you will be getting when mining standard Scrypt crypto currency such as LTC for example.
Vertcoin (VTC) mining with GPU requires a special miner called vertminer that is essentially a modified version of cgminer 3.7.2. The latest version of verminer 0.5.3 is designed to be used for mining VTC on AMD-based graphic processors. Note that the hashrate you will get by mining VertCoin with this modified mining client will be lower than what you get wen mining traditional scrypt based crypto coins. VertCoin (VTC) uses Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor algorithm and not just the standard scrypt algorithm that makes it ASIC proof and harder to mine, but also making it another very interesting alternative to most other alt crypto currencies that are essentially cloning BTC or LTC by using either SHA-256 or Scrypt algorithm. What is important to know is that you will not be able to mine VertCoin (VTC) with the standard cgminer, you need to use this modified version. Below you can find a download link to the latest vertminer 0.5.3 for windows.
– You can download vertminer 0.5.3 for VertCoin Mining for Windows OS here…

Thus, the government was faced with several unattractive options: prosecute Communists for espionage and reveal the Venona decoding, destroying an extremely valuable source of information on the Soviets; spend huge resources monitoring the CPUSA in a potentially fruitless attempt to disrupt its espionage activities; ignore the CPUSA's espionage and continue to allow American secrets to leak to the country's greatest enemy; or stretch the boundaries of the First Amendment and prosecute CPUSA leaders under the Smith Act, as the government had previously done to Nazi and fascist leaders [prosecutions that are considered far less noteworthy by historians, and that were supported by CPUSA leaders!]. The government did not obviously choose the worst option.Of course, I spent several pages elaborating on these arguments, so if you're interested, read the whole thing.

The Smith Act Prosecutions
1 comment:
Thanks for the comment on reading length. I've also had law students complain about length, pushing me to move away from books and towards heavily edited cases and journal articles. Of course, I remain interested in books that span several topics/time periods and therefore can be assigned for several classes, perhaps even revisited through the semester. Joseph Ellis's American Creation does a relatively good job of this for the founding period, in part because he has separate sections on the Constitutional Convention, Native Americans, westward expansion, and so on. Currently, I am currently considering Tomlins as a possible recurring book, portions of which can be assigned for the colonial period, the founding, slavery, and the antebellum era. Another book that intrigues is Dan Sharfstein's Invisible Line, which also covers several historical epochs, providing nice windows into different periods that can be revisited. Finally, I would be very interested in a clearinghouse of syllabi, and happy to post mine.

An excellent experience eating such interesting foods! Foods were delicious and the owner was super friendly, children loved eating with their fingers! Great service and delicious foods, we couldnt ask for more. We will go back again for sure.
I cant rave about this restaurant enough. My partner took me there on our first date and since then i have gone for birthdays and special occasions. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is fantastic! Anyone looking for an eating experience where the food not only tastes great but is value for money than look no further. 10/10
My partner & myself had our first experience tonight at this restaurant & it got a 10/10 from us by a long shot the service & buffet meal was fantastic. We will be telling our friends to try it they won't be disappointed.
Amazing. Everything combined to make it the perfect dining experience. The food was beautifully cooked and presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was set up very well and felt welcoming. Great value.
This is my absolute, all-time, FAVOURITE restaurant. Anyone who hasn't/doesn't try it is truly missing out. The food is just so amazing, Kay Wot is my personal favourite but I love them all. The only slightly bad thing that can be said about this place is that the staff (family that runs it) can tend to be a little bit slow, but they are just so friendly. If you are unsure how to eat it at first they have no problems with showing you and it's extremely easy to get the hang on. Don't expect anything too fancy, the decor is not the main focus here, the food is. They also have a large and yummy vegetarian menu for all the vegetarians out there. Everyone simply MUST try Abyssinian.
A very unassuming frontage hides a South Australian gem. Great ambiemce and value for money. Food was excellent and a great place to go for that something different.
Dropped in on a Sunday morning when researching places to eat for a later date. Decided to have lunch and what a great decision that was.The food was absolutely delicious.The chicken was cooked to perfection and fell off the bone with ease.Wonderful flavours and plenty of food in the serves. Very friendly service and informative menu. Will definately be returning on a Friday or Saturday evening.Highly recommended and one for people looking for something a little different.
My current favourite place to eat out. The food is tasty and great value. The service is a little slow, but always friendly.
Great place to get something different. Love the Injera - much better than using forks. Owned by a friendly family. Try it sometime.
This is a great place to eat. The food is soo tasty, the staff helpful & friendly, & it's great value for money.
Went on Saturday night with a big group and despite the busy-ness the banquet was tasty, the service was calm and friendly, the cuisine was a novelty and it was cheap. We are going back on Thursday and can't wait. Got lots of favourites already and have been raving to friends.
LOVE their platter of african food that you all share and eat with your hands. The food is really great and shouldn't be missed. It's one of my favourite restraunts in Adelaide along with Regent Thia and Tandori Oven.
Love love love this place! By far my favourite. The best food one could ever eat and great value for money. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Try the Ethiopian beer too!! Abyssinian = YUM!!!
If you are sick to death of nouvelle restaurants with exquisite decor and a lonely stripped loin lamb chop in pomegranate sauce on a plain white plate...this restaurant is for you...the food is great, there's plenty of it, the overall experience a little exotic, the decor simple but atmospheric and the service down to earth and friendly. I'll certainly be returning regularly
Love going there. The good is great and you feel you are in Ethiopia. Love the family feel. Very accommodating for those who would like to try different dishes. The kids love it
This place has great food and an atmosphere that's only enhanced by the laid back service. If you need to be somewhere, best turn up a bit earlier. Under new management apparently, but the same approach, same great food and great value. Still my favourite when in Adelaide.
I love learning about other cultures as a sociology student. So sitting there in the great surroundings eating with my hands, I feel fully submerged in their culture.
The restaurant is being transformed into a very delightful experience of Ethiopian cuisine. I love it!
My family loves this restaurant. The food is deliciously different and eaten with your hand by breaking up injera bread and scooping the food. The service can be a bit laid back, and the decor is a bit daggy but it all adds to the experience. Love it, and keep going back.
Fantastic, loved this place. Great people, great food, great value.
Fantastic value. The atmosphere is great and the experience is quite unique. The food is excellent, although unusual for those of us more used to European fare. The restaurant is cheap and the experience is wonderful. There are no knives and forks provided, you eat in the traditional way.
I live near by, and this place is a regular haunt. The food is amazingly good; I've yet to take someone there who didn't love it, and the portions are a good size for great value. They have a small but nice selection of beers and wines. The one drawback is that the service is incredibly slow. This is a family run restaurant that first and formost caters to the local Ethiopian and Somalain community that lives in the area, which means the food is amazing and authentic, but it also means the speed is geared to a family feel, not a commercial enterprise. This place is being run for a community, not as a fine dining experience, which makes for a great, relaxed atmosphere, but the service is decidedly unprofessional. Don't be afraid to jump up and walk to the bar to order your drinks, ask for coffee or the cheque, and expect to have to work to catch the waitress's attention when you need something. Despite all that, this really is a great place to eat, and a lovely place to go with friends for the evening.
Love the food, great value for money, always go there before concerts at the Thebbie and saw Xavier Rudd eating there before his concert! Best to go in and say banquet (vego or ominivorous) right away as service can be slow if you are in a hurry to get somewhere. Otherwise relax and take it all in. All you can eat and bet you can't eat it all!
Although the service wasn't very good, the food itself is excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit different.
I'm glad I have tried Ethiopian food now & enjoyed my dinner but I wouldn't race back.
The food is excellent, but waiting 10 minutes to get seated (the restaurant wasn't even half full), another one hour to have orders taken, then 45 minutes for the food to arrive. Then when we asked about the coffee that didn't appear after another 40 minutes, we gave up , paid and left. The place seemed to be understaffed and the waitress din't seem to have a clue!! Pity, but we will try again sometime and hope for a better experience.
I visited with a couple of friends on a quiet weeknight. Despite there being only 2 couples eating, it took the staff around 5 minutes to sit us down, even after they had seen us standing around the entrance area. The decor is outdated, but this isn't such a big deal because this place isn't trying to be fancy; in fact the decor and Ethiopian art adds to the character of the place. The staff looked bored and dissapeared for large stretches of time, meaning that if you wanted to order something you had to wait until they returned. On the upside, once ordered the food was rapidly presented to our table. Eating without utensils is great, and by far the most enjoyable part of eating here. Using the injera to scoop up the food is fun as well as exotic. I thouroughly recommend the Kay Wot; it is delicious. We also ordered a seafood dish and a lamb dish, which were OK but somewhat bland. The food is good value though, as my group was unaible to finish our servings. In summary, I recommend this place if you want a new and interesting experience.
owners changed in 2011, and i think most of the good reviews predate these new owners. the food wasn't accurate to the menu, the traditional bread was served straight out of the fridge and slightly under cooked to the point the bread was clammy. the meat was of average quality. we were there on a Sunday and it felt like it was reheated from the night before
Not the best Ethiopian food I've tasted. Service was poor, no one check up on us for ages, and the waiter hid in the kitchen most of time with their KIDS! The food was good, but did not have the wow factor that I have had at other ethiopian restaurants. There was minimal ambiance, no music and room for MUCH improvement! Would not recomment. Google Addis Ababa and give them a go if you are looking for the "wow" factor!
When there on sat 7 November at 6pm. Well where do I start, we walked in the front door and could not breathe, there must have been cooking in the kitchen without the exhaust fan on. So we improvised and sat outside, only to sit on dirty, and one broken chair. We order our food and selected item "Doro Wot" which its describes as "fresh chicken legs simmered in Berber sauce". We got A chicken leg for $13.00, hardly value for money like the other posts suggest. My rating 3/10, poor effort guys you are doing your culture an injustice.
Waited 1 hr 30 mins for take away meals. They forgot to cook one of the dishes. The remaining dishes were cold by the time the last dish was ready. Worst take away experience ever!

Crossroads' problems may leave Paragon homeless again
The plight of the Crossroads Theatre at Five Points is not a new or unique story. Small theater companies come and go – there are 30 fewer of them functioning in Colorado today than just a year ago. Most you don't even know are gone (or gone dormant) until you notice they just aren't there anymore. Most, they will tell you, die because of the economy. Most actually die because they aren't terribly well-run.
Paragon Theatre's "Old Times" may be the last play at the Crossroads Theatre at Five Points for a while. Photo by E. Tyler Photography.
Some, like Theatre 13 and Next Stage, have passed quietly. More public flameouts this year have included the New Denver Civic Theatre, then the teetering (but trying to bounce back) black Shadow Theatre. Now the closure of the 2-year-old Crossroads Theatre at Five Points seems imminent.
The difference is Crossroads — which is a building more than an actual theater company — is practically advertising its demise. And if it closes, it threatens to cast one of the state's most capable – and well-attended – small theater companies homeless for the second time in two years.
Paragon Theatre, first cast aside from the Phoenix when the (now dead) Theatre Group split for the New Denver Civic Theatre (now being turned into a concert venue), is responsible for about the only reliable attendance Crossroads has generated since it was built and opened to great civic fanfare by Kurt Lewis in 2007.
Lewis, who has Parkinson's disease, is a heck of a nice guy. But he's primarily an attorney, and attorneys generally don't have much acumen for running the artistic side of a successful theater company. Lewis hasn't had much luck running either the artistic or the business side of Crossroads.
It was heartbreaking, frankly, to hear in 2007 that Lewis would be sinking every penny he had into building an 84-seat, state-of-the-art salon theater as part of a swank new housing development next to Blackberries Cafe at the corner of 27th and Welton streets, across the street from the culturally significant Rossonian Hotel.
People who sink all of their own money into such endeavors almost inevitably lose all of their money. Such risks show incredible commitment to a personal dream, to local theater, to a community. But they also inform any objective observer that if you have to invest every penny you have into your dream — then you don't have enough other people invested in your dream.
The dream was a good one: The space is less than five minutes from downtown. Convenient to get to, by bike, car or light rail. An intimate, elegant space, with refurbished seats from the old Auditorium Theatre. Performances that would start no later than 7 p.m. to accommodate later-night programming, such as live jazz or blues. The hope of keeping the theater open five nights a week with dance, slam poetry, cabaret and more.
But the first sign that an attorney should not run the artistic side of a theater: Lewis chose to christen his new theater in the heart Denver's black community with a play set in Ireland. Performed with uncannily accurate Irish accents. Which meant you couldn't understand a word. It didn't exactly draw the black community to the theater in droves. It did the opposite. I counted fewer than five black people in the opening-night audience.
After the play, the most common response was: "What were they saying?" followed by, "What was he thinking?" A work by a black playwright or director would have told the black community of Denver (which has since lost Shadow Theatre to Aurora) that this would be a place where their stories would be told.
Paragon losing the Phoenix was the best thing to happen to Lewis. By becoming the resident rental company at Crossroads, Paragon consistently brought a solid fan base and award-winning theater to Crossroads, as evidenced by the currently running "Old Times." Two years ago, Paragon won the Denver Post's "best season by a company" Ovation Award.
Lewis hasn't produced much of his own theater since his opening offering. There have been occasional rentals – but Lewis never understood that for his own overall survival, he needed to be more discerning about whom he should allow to use his theater. When people see bad theater, they don't come back, even for the good stuff, because you've lost their trust.
Now Lewis and his friends are letting everyone — I mean everyone — know that he will, in all likelihood, close Crossroads. Last month, supporters sent pleas to media all over Denver begging for stories that might bring attention to Crossroads' plight, and therefore perhaps bring forth the angel who might rescue it. They play up Lewis' Parkinson's. They play up how Lewis "sunk his entire life savings into the theater" – (again, not exactly a selling point) – "in the belief that Five Points can be saved."
One letter went on: "He has invested time and money in bringing art and culture to this former slum area, and has begun the Anchor Project to allow underprivileged children to create and learn about art. The theater itself provides a venue for everything from artistic film festivals, to flamenco dancing, to rock concerts. But funding is growing thin. We at Shock Brothers Studio believe this theater is too valuable a community asset to let it close its doors without a fight, and we think there are more than enough elements at work here to make a good story. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you."
I'm not sure the proud black community of Five Points will appreciate having their neighborhood referred to as "a former slum" (any of you been to Kenya recently?), but that's beside the point. The point is Crossroads' story is not unique.
Theaters that open with no long-term business plan, with insufficient operating capital, that raise just enough money to open the doors and then cross their fingers that people will come back without investing in reliable marketing, subscriptions or other due diligence – simply fail. All the time.
It's unfair to cast the demise of Crossroads as a failure of a dream to revitalize Five Points itself (an area that seems to be doing just fine with or without Crossroads).
Bottom line: If the people of Five Points felt as though they were being adequately served by what Crossroads has to offer, the theater wouldn't be closing.
Jeffrey Nickelson once told me, no offense to me, but if Shadow Theatre was ever on the brink of financial collapse, I'd never hear it from him because of his belief that such decrees are self-fulfilling prophecies. Tell the media you are failing, and guess what? Saying it makes it so in people's minds. And that's a very difficult reputation to ever overcome.
The irony is that Shadow is now on the verge of financial ruin, and Nickelson is talking about it. But only a month after he resigned, and two months after he announced to his board and the city of Aurora his of his intent to close Shadow Theatre. (That board is trying to salvage the company without him.)
Yesterday, Lewis took his personal plea for the rescue of Crossroads to everyone with an email address. He sent out the following announcement addressed to "Residents of Five Points, members of the Diverse Neighborhood Collective; residents of Denver, Colorado; and Patrons of the Crossroads Theater at Five Points."
Read it. Help save Crossroads if you want to. It's a jewel, and the cultural community can ill-afford to let a beautiful theater like it to go unused. Let's just hope that whoever picks up the mantle has a better plan for how best to use the facility than did a very, very nice man whose only real fault was not having enough believers.
And that Paragon finds a new home fast.
Re: The Future of Crossroads Theater at Five Points
Dear Residents, Patrons and Members of the Diverse Neighborhood Collective:
I am the owner of The Crossroads Theater at Five Points. Hopefully everyone receiving this letter has heard of The Crossroads Theater at Five Points, but if you have not, it is a performance theater space (maximum occupancy 130) built and opened in 2007 at 2590 Washington Street immediately next to Blackberries Ice Cream and Coffee Shop. It was designed by an architectural firm named Studio Completiva, who volunteered a great deal of time to the project.
Crossroads has hosted theater, dance, poetry, film, storytelling, art openings and comedy. Its mission statement from the beginning has been to create a space for the convergence of cultures and creative art forms. It has a world-class theatre company, Paragon, and a company of world-class poets, Slam Nuba, both of whom call Crossroads home.
The theater has run at a deficit cash flow since its opening, however, I believe Crossroads Theater at Five Points has played a large role in the revitalization of Five Points and is a necessary component of the future for Five Points. However the economic benefits it brings to Five Points cannot be captured by private entrepreneurs. And despite my altruism and although I found the stapler among the clutter of a storage box, I believe I have run out of time to staple everything back together again, even if the economy improves.
I can only pass the baton. Unless people of Five Points or the City of Denver realize the enormous benefits from the existence of the theater at Five Points and are willing to run with the baton and to pay for its existence in some way, Crossroads will close. Both Paragon and Slam Nuba wish to stay at Crossroads, and many many artists wish to perform there or have there work shown there so there is a strong core.
There are many people to thank for their work on the theater and their vision in developing it. I will do that personally, but I think the message to be taken from this letter is that there is an opportunity for the community of Five Points to take into its hands the theater and use it to develop and revitalize the community. Whether it flies or not depends on you.
Take a few hours and go see the play currently running at Crossroads Theater at Five Points, "Old Times," written by Harold Pinter and produced by Paragon Theatre Company. It has received rave reviews and runs Thursday Fridays Saturdays through August 15, 2009.
Kurt Lewis

What you want to hear after a drive on the 14th hole is a satisfying silence, or maybe some light applause — but not screaming. But when a Murfreesboro, Tenn. golfer hooked his shot, it disappeared from sight. Then came the screams.
The man's ball had hit a motorcyclist squarely in the mouth, knocking out several of her teeth as she and her husband rode their bikes together. But the unnamed woman managed to maintain control of her motorcycle and avoid further catastrophe.
The rider went to Middle Tennessee Medical Center for examination and treatment. (Hat tip to ThunderSi!)

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
Other people want to be well known and admired by others. All we have to
do is look at the cult of popularity in much of modern culture. Sometimes
the popular people really don't do much, but they gain a following and
young people want to be like them. This also can be a temptation. Is it
wrong? Not necessarily. It depends on what the person does with such
popularity. Few seem to follow any moral values.
The last temptation is the strongest. It invites Jesus to show others that
He is God. This is not the way of the Lord. Today we find a similar kind
of temptation in looking for miracles. All of us want miracles. When we
see someone we love suffering, we would like to have a miracle. When we
ourselves need something, we would like to have a miracle. When we don't
get a miracle, sometimes we no longer believe in God or we think that God
does not love us.
Our faith is not about having enough food, about having the admiration of
others or about receiving miracles. Our faith is about believing in a God
who loves us, the God revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Lord.
The first reading today is from the Book of Deuteronomy. It speaks to us
about the purpose of Lent: giving praise to God for all His creation and
for all that He has done in our lives. In Lent we must take the time to
understand all that He has done for us. As we begin to understand His love
for us and His saving acts in our personal lives, we will worship Him with
joy and gladness.
The Letter to the Romans gives us a deeply important teaching today:
everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. So often we get
concerned about our unworthiness, our sinfulness, our lack of faithfulness
to God. These are indeed good concerns. At the heart of our faith is
believing in God and asking Him to change us. We are so often completely
powerless in our own lives because of habits that we have acquired over the
years and because of situations in which we find ourselves and don't know
how to get out of them. We can call on the Lord and He will save us�but
always in His time frame.
The Gospel returns us to the temptations of Christ. Jesus was truly
tempted because He is truly human like us in all things except sin. Thus
we can have confidence that He understands us.
May this Lent bring us deeper into the mysteries of Jesus Christ our Lord
and help us deepen our faith also in His holy Church. May we know the
presence of Christ in our personal lives and call upon Him with confidence.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Reviewed by Liza Perrat
When Sister Bernard immediately demands that Sylvia sign the adoption papers, Sylvia is equally determined she won't. She loves her boyfriend, Tommy, who has promised to stand by her, and wants to keep her baby. Very quickly though, Sylvia finds herself a virtual prisoner at St. Joseph's and realises she must fight to stand her ground, not to mention her battle against the stigma, shame and secrecy of being pregnant and unmarried in 1966 in Australia.
Besides Sylvia, the other two main characters are excellently drawn: Kim, who befriends Sylvia, and whose present day perspective, after she gave up her baby, is also cleverly woven into the story. Sister Gregory is an empathetic nun who often struggles with both the Catholic doctrine and her vocation.
Unforgivable truly brings to light the plight of unmarried mothers and adoption issues during that time, and we realise how much things have changed since. It also raises issues about national conscription and the Vietnam War and the changes brought to the Catholic Church by Vatican II. Sydney in the sixties is excellently evoked through the author's use of celebrities, events and fashions of the day.
I felt the ending was a bit abrupt, and would have liked more information on Sylvia's later life and what happened to Sister Gregory. However, all in all, Unforgivable is a poignant, authentic and compelling read; a powerful story about unforgivable decisions and acts upon the innocent––young mothers being forced to give up their babies and go back to the real world and carry on as if nothing had happened. Highly recommended.
Sharon Robards is the bestselling Historical Fiction author of A Woman Transported. She lives two hundred kilometres north of Sydney, on the beautiful and rugged east coast of Australia, in a place called Port Stephens, a sanctuary for dolphins and a Mecca for tourists who come to see an annual migration of 6,000 whales each year.

It is in the JIN'S - remember Alladin...
Each one wants to use Media as their Magic Lamp to be famous overnight.
As long as the media keeps rubbing the Magic Lamp there will be JIN of desire all over as you always say FREE PUBLICITY....
And when you get money for this Why not !!
Let that be Hadd Ho Gayi? Don't we call that Breaking News and Original content?
what can be more Tez then getting publicity before the child is born?

De, I disagree especially with the Mehta story. If the kid grows out to be sane, he'll understand that the parents were in fact looking to protect 'it' from the trauma of all the treatment that it is going to require. And besides, I feel that the parents also have the right to not choose to live with the agony.
And about the Brangelina twins, I guess both Brad and Angelina are pros and want to make 'some' use out of the photos that any which ways the papparazi are going to get. This way, at least it's a little saner.
I agree with the cosequences for the future for those kids. But the publicity for them is unavoidable. What do you have to say?

agree with kris bass's 2nd para.
Publicity for them is a way of life....so combining it with a cause seems like a almost 'noble' things to do;-P
plus I guess they want to have a say in where their kids pics are going to be displayed rather than having papparazzi lunging out from every nook & corner(which they r going to do anyways).
Please do something abt this word verification option. It gets tiresome after a while.

No ones Born with social conscience. Familiarity breeds contempt, that's the truth. Though its incorrect to generalize, if this continues in the same fashion, as these kids grow up, immense media glare will in all possibility make these kids absolutely immune to the very cause that their parents exhibited them for. Yes, I agree with you, there could be other ways of fund raising. How about donating a movies fee for a cause instead. They are anyways quite a maaldaar party. They could afford that. (on a lighter note: wao… what a brand name "Bragalina" that sounds much much better than apna desi "AbhiAsh")
~ Mehta Issue
I might sound too very curt, but I am for the abortion of the fetus. The child in all possibility grow up spending half of his/her life in a hospital and the parents would be duty-bound (not instinctively) to go through the trauma of seeing their little one suffer. To abort a fetus when its still a "fetus" and not a "baby" is not wrong. When science gives you the opportunity to discover an abnormality, they should be given the option of abortion. Anyways, if I were in their place (God Forbid) I wouldn't have gone to the court and press. Had the decision been made in their favour, it would have rained hope for many other parents. But we think from our hearts not from our practical minds, everything that's not appealing to the heart is immoral. (I am going to get a lot of hate mails for this comment by your others de, I guess)

If Brangelina want to play smarter than the papparazzi, why not let them? Atleast they have control of the inevitable. Its quite simple really... No children are being harmed in the making of the People magazine cover. Money is going to a cause that probably needs funding. Enquiring minds in the great unwashed masses get to see the product of this coupling. I think we tend to overthink this process. Give them some credit, they seem to be exemplary parents thus far.
About the Mehta Baby case, science has given us the opportunity to see possiblities ... both good and bad... that lie ahead. Why not head on allow people to deal with the bad atleast. The abortion issue needs looking at... and quickly. This couple has no time to waste. A lot of couples have no time to waste either, and will probably end up having back alley abortions with the modern day equivalent of a metal clothes hanger. Lets not create more numbers for statistical tables of infant and maternal mortality. If science advances the law must too. Not to keep pace, is shameful.

It is indeed cheap!If they want to flaunt their kids,why not flaunt them proudly for free? :P
I really hope the Mehtas win their case though.It is easier to not have the baby than to see him/her suffer with some disorder every single day.

President Trump's surprise announcement about the creation of a new "Space Force" branch of the military is already meeting resistance in Congress and the Pentagon.
According to The Hill, senators from both parties have downplayed the proposal this week. Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said, "It's one that I would have a hard time supporting. All of our branches have the space element and it's working. If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
On the other side of the aisle, Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), who also sits on the committee, said the new military branch "would cost so much money, it would be so duplicative," and suggested that Air Force officials are generally opposed but feel they can't speak out against the plan now that the president has backed it. "I think it's somebody wanting to have something new that they can talk about," Nelson said dismissively.
Lawmakers aren't the only skeptics when it comes to the Space Force proposal. Trump's own administration rejected the idea last year, with Defense Secretary James Mattis writing to the Senate Armed Services Committee, "I oppose the creation of a new military service and additional organizational layers at a time when we are focused on reducing overhead and integrating joint warfighting functions."
Trump, however, wasn't convinced and is now pushing for the changes he wants in what The Wall Street Journal calls a "dramatic and public fashion."
The Pentagon has signaled that it will work with the Trump administration and Congress to implement the proposed change. And at least one analyst is saying that the move may not be the budget-buster that some critics fear.
The Air Force Space Command already has about 30,000 employees, and the Space and Missile Systems Center has another 3,000. Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and International Studies told the Journal that if creating the Space Force simply involves moving those thousands of defense workers already working on space-related issues into a new organizational silo, then the budget effects could be kept to a minimum. The long history of budgetary bloat and bureaucratic expansion at the Pentagon, however, suggests to many critics that the move would not be so simple or cost-free.
In any event, whatever changes occur won't happen anytime soon. Lawmakers doubt there's time to insert legislative language into the 2019 defense authorization bill, which already has approved versions in the House and the Senate. And Mattis said Thursday that the creation of the Space Force will require a lot more work: "It's going to require legislation and a lot of detailed planning and we've not yet begun."

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Today at the 2016 GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, Nvidia has announced their new Tesla P100 GPU for computing – the first one based on the next generation GPU architecture of the company that is coming to succeed the current Maxwell architecture. The new Pascal architecture is based on the new Pascal GP100 GPU and specifications wise is supposed to deliver very high performance for HPC, technical computing, deep learning, and many computationally intensive datacenter workloads. We are expecting to hopefully soon also see Pascal-based releases for the consumer GeForce series of GPUs and the details that were revealed for the Tesla P100 are making us even more excited to see the consumer GPUs based on Pascal.
The key new features for the Nvidia Pascal architecture are:
– 16nm FinFET process that enables more features, higher performance, and improved power efficiency.
– NVLink, a new high speed, high bandwidth interconnect for maximum application scalability.
– HBM2 video memory, a faster and higher capacity, extremely efficient stacked GPU memory architecture.
– Unified Memory and Compute Preemption — significantly improved programming model.
Among the interesting things to note are the higher operating frequencies for the GPU, especially for Tesla-class GPU, the improved bandwidth and performance with not much of a power usage increase. The new GP100 Pascal GPU also comes with support for the new Compute Capability 6.0 and CUDA 8.0. Of course the consumer GeForce GPUs will be slightly different, but it will still be interesting how the new features and capabilities will do for crypto currency mining. It seems that it will not be that long before we are able to check for ourselves. After the release however there still might be need for some additional optimizations in the available GPU mining software for it to be able to take advantage of the new Pascal-based GPUs. Do not forget that AMD is also working on their next generation of GPUs that will be made using 16nm process and will feature HBM2 memory offering better performance and power efficiency similar to that of Nvidia.

Curitiba to stay as World Cup venue
FIFA has announced on Tuesday that Curitiba will stay on the list of host cities for the World Cup despite delays in construction of the Arena de Baixada stadium.
Curitiba had long been the venue which has concerned the FIFA Organising Committee more than any other, and with less than four months to go until Iran are duty to take on Nigeria on June 16 little appeared to have changed to suggest the building work -- which should have been completed by December -- will be finished at the 42,500-capacity arena. However FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has given his backing to the city.
Valcke and his inspection team are back in Brazil for another tour of the World Cup venues, while representatives of all 32 qualifying countries have landed in Brazil for a workshop ahead of the finals and he tweeted:
Curitiba confirmed as #WorldCup venue, based on the financial guarantees, the commitment by all stakeholders & progress made.
— Jérôme Valcke (@jeromevalcke) February 18, 2014
It's a race against a very tight timeline. Collective effort by all the stakeholders involved in Curitiba must continue at highest pace.
— Jérôme Valcke (@jeromevalcke) February 18, 2014
Last week Valcke said those involved in the city's preparations "are seeking and finding solutions to help them catch up and hopefully make sure" the stadium will be ready to host its four matches at the World Cup.
Valcke added in his FIFA column last week that the Brazilian government and officials in Curitiba and the state of Parana were working with FIFA and the local World Cup committee to make sure "a special city in terms of sustainability and passion for football will remain part of the FIFA World Cup lineup."
Porto Alegre, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte had all been mentioned as possible alternative venues for Curitiba's four matches. The other three games due to be held in the city are Honduras v Ecuador (June 20), Australia v Spain (June 23) and Algeria v Russia (June 26). It does not have any games in the knockout rounds.
Construction has yet to be completed on five of the 12 stadiums in Brazil. Arena de Sao Paulo, where the hosts will take on Croatia in the World Cup curtain-raiser on June 12, will not be finished until April.
England coach Roy Hodgson -- on a tour of the venues in which his team will play -- believes FIFA will make sure everything is right by the time the tournament begins.
"FIFA and the Brazilian government has put in a lot of work," Hodgson said. "So I don't see any reasons for us technicians to doubt them."
England will take on Italy in the heat of the Amazon in Manaus, but Hodgson rejected suggestions it would be overly problematic.
"It is hot here, but World Cups are played in the summer," he told BBC Sport. "It was hot in South Africa [for the 2010 World Cup] and it was very hot in America in '94.
"It will be hot here but that is something you have to come to terms with. What we are interested in now is getting a feel for the slightly more different, more tropical climate in the north of Brazil vis-a-vis Rio, where we have been and played."

He's also swiped 24 bases in 31 attempts in his career. Maxwell was a fourth-round selection by the Nationals in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Maryland. He was traded to the Yankees during the offseason in 2011 and claimed off waivers by the Astros early in the 2012 season.
Smith, 20, was the Royals' fourth-round selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. He was 5-4 this season with a 2.85 ERA in 19 starts at Class A Wilmington.

Nuclear Medicine
Nuclear Medicine is the branch of radiology in which radioisotopes are introduced into the body for the purpose of imaging, evaluating organ function, or localizing disease or tumors. Radiopharmaceuticals are introduced into the patient's body by injection, swallowing, or inhalation. The amount given is very small. The pharmaceutical part of the radiopharmaceutical is designed to go to a specific place in the body where there could be disease or an abnormality. The radioactive part of the radiopharmaceutical emits radiation, known as gamma rays (similar to x-rays), which is then detected using a special camera called a gamma camera. This type of camera allows the nuclear medicine physician to see what is happening inside your body. These images allow radiologists to diagnose the patient's disease.

| 9°C Dublin
A third of MPs are unhappy with the cleanliness of toilets inside the House of Commons, a study has revealed.
One in five also said they were dissatisfied with Parliament's dining rooms, restaurants and cafes, according to the House of Commons Survey of Services 2012.
A total of 177 MPs and 961 of their staff completed the annual questionnaire asking for their feedback on the quality of services and facilities in the Palace of Westminster.
More than 80% of those surveyed said they were more than satisfied with the levels of general cleaning across the parliamentary estate. But many complained their offices were only cleaned superficially and that the lavatories in the Commons were too dirty.
The study, conducted by private market research company SPA Future Thinking at a cost of between £21,710 and £27,790, said: "Although satisfaction with general cleanliness was fairly high, substantial proportions were dissatisfied with the cleaning of their office (17% of members and 25% of members' staff were dissatisfied) and with the cleanliness of toilets across the Estate (a third of members and their staff were dissatisfied)."
Toilets in the Norman Shaw North building are in particular need of regular deep cleaning and modernisation, politicians said.
Around 20% of MPs were unhappy with the dining rooms, restaurants and cafeterias in Parliament and expressed dissatisfaction with the Commons Tea Room and Smoking Room.
Both members and staff expressed concerns about the price, quality and range of food on offer and complained of a perceived lack of value for money. Some said meals are to elaborate and called for more traditional options on the menu.
In terms of security, the proportion of MPs who said the felt "very secure" of "extremely secure" stood at 57% - dropping from 68% in 2010.
The House of Commons Service employees around 1,700 people who support MPs in performing their parliamentary duties. The majority of politicians and their workers - 92% and 94% respectively - were at least satisfied with the service overall, January's 13-page survey found.
