transcriptPAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome back to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay in Washington. We're at America's Future Now! Conference. Now joining us is Rob Johnson. He's from the Roosevelt Institute in New York, and he heads up their Global Economic Policy Project. Thanks for joining us.ROB JOHNSON, DIRECTOR, ROOSEVELT INSTITUTE ECONOMIC POLICY INITIATIVE: My pleasure.JAY: So, as we speak, there is negotiations going on between the House and the Senate on the finance reform bill. Just quickly, is the bill going to take on too-big-to-fail, this idea that the banks have a kind of structural blackmail against the American people, if you will? Is anything in this bill going to really change that?JOHNSON: Well, I would say the resolution powers will help, but they're necessary and not sufficient to end too-big-to-fail. Whether it's President Obama or Chris Dodd, those who've claimed that too-big-to-fail will end with this bill are exaggerating the consequences of its passage.JAY: So let's get into some of the stuff that is in the bill that might play a positive role. And maybe the most controversial thing right now is an amendment that was putor it'sactually did come out in the Senate bill. Senate bill came out of the agricultural committee, I guess, Blanche Lincoln. So talk about what Lincoln added to the bill and why it's important and what seems to be happening to it.JOHNSON: What Lincoln did was she said that derivatives market making, which was a very profitable businessthe top six derivatives dealers made over $30 billion last yearand derivatives market-making must be separated from the safety net: no access to the Fed discount window, no access to what you might call implicit subsidies in the event of a bailout.JAY: So if I understand this correctly, some of the investment banks that were not part under the FDIC [Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation], in other words, were not regulated banks and therefore didn't have access to the Fed discount windowwhich these days means practically zero percent money out the door, free money out the door to you that you can, as they are, turn around and buy T-bills and make money on. At any rate, this was a great advantage to them in terms of getting cash to shore up their positions. So the Lincoln bill would say you can't have it both ways: if you want to gamble on derivatives, you're going to have to separate that part of your company; you can't use any of the money you're getting from your traditional banking or from the Fed in your derivatives gambling. So is that what's at stake?JOHNSON: Yeah, the guarantee structure is designed to fortify what you might call the necessary plumbingthe payment system, traditional banking, consumer deposits through FDIC insurance. Proprietary trading on the one hand and derivatives market-making on the other are very profitable. To subsidize those further basically encourages overuse, and the overuse is paid for by what you might call the taxpayer guaranteeing [inaudible]JAY: Which comes back to too-big-to-fail again, because you know if you lose your gamble your rear's going to be covered through tax money.JOHNSON: That's right, and it encourages overuse and underpricing of derivatives. So they're bigger than they otherwise would be, and they're more profitable than they otherwise would be.JAY: So the drumbeats coming out of these negotiations and from the administration is that the leadership of the Democratic Party itself, from the Obama administration, Treasury Department, and the people from the House and the Senate that got picked to negotiate this, are all trying to water that down. So is that true? And if so, why?JOHNSON: I think it is true, and the reason why is what I will call a grand strategy of forbearance. In the spring of 2009 they decided not to acknowledge the losses, not to take over some of the insolvent banks, and to pretend, through relaxation of accounting standards, that these institutions were solvent or were capable of regaining their feet quickly. Here we are a year later, and the two most profitable activities are derivatives market making and proprietary trading. Those are like the sub pumps being used to fill the hole of these fragile balance sheets.JAY: Let me just remind our viewers quickly again: proprietary trading is when a Goldman Sachs, instead of taking somebody's pension money or investment money and on their behalf guiding them into another investment, they take Goldman money and they do their own direct trading and buying.JOHNSON: [inaudible] capital taking positions for their own book.JAY: Which sometimes even puts them at odds with some of the people they're advising from these othersome of their clients, essentially.JOHNSON: Yes.JAY: So two of the objectives of this legislation is limit or get rid of proprietary trading and to separate the derivatives. So if the leadership of the Democratic Party is trying to weaken both of these, again, why are they doing this?JOHNSON: Well, the whole structure of the bill is, essentially, instead of hard-wiring legislation and new rules, they're trying to give the Fed discretion as the regulator when to impose and when to enforce rules. And that's consistent with this idea of continued forbearance. They want to let these banks continue to earn their way back to strength. And their highest margin, highest profitability activities are proprietary trading, trading for the house, with subsidized money, and derivatives market making, which is another way to make profits that are enhanced by having access to the safety net. Those two things are the pumps that are trying to drive [inaudible] The administration, the Senate, and House leadership are quietly'cause they don't want to admit that these banks are still fragile, but those are the strategies used to dig out of this hole.JAY: So President Obama a few months ago, when he tried to sell the bailouts and defend why they were following the policy they were, said, we're only strengthening Wall Street because we're really trying to strengthen Main Street, but you got to do that to get this. So is that true?JOHNSON: The credit allocation system is a necessary but not sufficient condition for real economy strength. The strategy that they've chosen is to use this forbearance to strengthen these balance sheets. It's not the only way, but it's the way they've chosen. When you talk to treasury officials or White House officials, they will often tell you that after TARP there was no chance of going back and doing proper restructuring and proper bailouts with more of taxpayers' money. The public was very, very hostile after that September/October 2008, around the time of Lehman Brothers' failure. So they felt in many ways they had no option but forbearance because the public would be outraged. Unfortunately, during forbearance, with 30 percent rates on credit cardsmany small businesses used to be charged 7.99 percent, with payday lending at 30 percent, without restructuring mortgages, that the public has borne the brunt while the bankers paid themselves renewed bonuses in 2009 and made everybody angry again. So it might have been the bailouts and repair, what you might call more instant repair, like in the RFC caseReconstruction Finance Corporation in the 1930s that Roosevelt did. The credit system would've gotten back on its feet sooner. But instead, with forbearance, this is a prolonged grind, and a burden is imposed on the backs of the users of credit.JAY: So what's the real alternative? I mean, if you could write this legislation, what would it be?JOHNSON: If I could write this legislation, I would make more transparent the accounting standards, snapshot these balance sheets.JAY: But if it was really transparent, people would run for the hills, because if I understand correctly, the amount of debt they're hiding on their books right now would show that they're practically insolvent.JOHNSON: Well, with a lot of mortgages underwater, so-called first mortgages, equity lines of credit, and second mortgages should be worthless. My understanding from security analysts is they're being carried at $0.80 on the dollar on the books of many banks. That's a fiction. The biggest danger of this fiction has been that by playing along with the fiction allowed overstated earnings and overstated bonus pools. Last year, over $40 billion was paid in bonus pools. That money should have been used to recapitalize these banks.JAY: I mean, if you want a cynical look from the outside, the policies seem to have been far more about defending those bonus points and defending the individuals who were running these institutions than about fixing the American economy.JOHNSON: Those are big donors to the political process both on the Hill and in the administration. People depend upon the mother's milk in politics, called money, to get reelected.JAY: Now, I heard Goldman Sachs had a dinner last night and the guest speaker was Condoleezza Rice. What message are they trying to send here?JOHNSON: They're probably talking about oil spills. Condoleezza Rice had a lot of influence in the national security and oil world.JAY: But is this sort of a message thatto the Democrats, like, while you're negotiating the finance reform bill, let us remind you we may have other alternatives?JOHNSON: I think they've been serving that reminder both, I would say, last fall and this spring during the financial reform process. We've seen the money from the Federal Election Commission shift markedly towards the Republicans. Democrats are in a dangerous place regarding passage, because if they don't pass the bill, the American public can look at them and say, you had the White House, majority in the House, you had 59 votes in the Senate, and you didn't pass financial reform? You're not fit to govern. If they do pass a bill that's watered downand it's largely been watered down 'cause of this competition over fundraising from the financial industry, and the Republicans have played a role in thisat the end of it they can pass a bill that's not strong enough, the public will know it, and Republicans can vote against it and say, "See? The Democrats are in the pocket of Wall Street." This is a very, very treacherous game in terms of politics right now. The public policy is not being well served, 'cause the role of money in politics is far too great. And that's true in health care, in energy, and most powerfully in finance.JAY: In the real world of today's politicsand what I'm about to propose may not be passable in the real world of today's politics, but without some kind of public option, in other words, some kind of public type of banking, is this actually fixable? I mean, has it simply gotten to a point that the existing structure of the finance sector is essentiallysome people have called so parasitic that it really isn't fixable? In other words, like, go gamble, but don't use any public money, and let's take our public money and build a public institution.JOHNSON: Well, what you have to ask is: who's going to run the public institution in a healthy manner? Some might argue that it can't be any worse than what we just had.JAY: I mean, I would say a good place to start is it shouldn't be someone that used to run Goldman. That might be a good place to begin for your hiring committee.JOHNSON: That might be supported by the body politic at this point. But you'll also see, on the other side, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae do not have a stellar track record. And what concerns me.JAY: But to a large extent after they were mostly privatized, though.JOHNSON: After the middle of 2007, Tom Ferguson and I, who I know you've had as a guest on the program, have written a paper about how it was mysterious that Fannie Mae's balance sheet started to expand in subprime mortgages just as everybody else's balance sheet on Wall Street was declining. And what we're suggestingwe don't have a smoking gun, but what we're suggesting is that was almost like a pre-TARP bailout. Those were asset purchases on a public balance sheet that next year the Republicans are going to make hay with, because when they come back and recapitalize and restructure Freddie and Fannie, they can point to much bigger losses. Should have been bigger losses on the balance sheets of the private sector.JAY: Well, I'm just saying that that's not a very good model for judging whether a public institution can work or not, because it wasn't, you know, clearly a public institution with a public mandate. JOHNSON: [inaudible] it was a hybrid [inaudible] JAY: It was a weird hybrid, yeah. I mean, there arefor example, I understand in South Dakota there is essentially a publicly owned bank, and apparently people are quite happy with it.JOHNSON: Well, my first job was with Cadillac Motor Company. My second job was with the Republican Senate Budget Committee. And unlike many people who have what you might call religion about the private sector and public sector, I thought the Senate Budget Committee under Pete Domenici was much better run than Cadillac Motor Company in the 1970s. So I'm a little bit confused about saying public sector can't be good, private sector can only be good. I think it'show would I say it? Original sin is inside the soul of both public and private agents. It makes it complicated. We have seen over the course of history, though, many public credit institutions used very politically, and we've seen very, very substantial losses and mismanagement. So I am somewhat cautious about a public option. On the other hand, the American people right now should be doing what Gerald Taylor said on a panel I was on yesterday at this conference, which is: we should be talking about what is the purpose of a financial system, what is the purpose of a bank, what role does it play in a healthy society. Obviously, the institutions we've had in recent years are kind of ungovernable and doing things that are quite unrelated to that mission.JAY: If the Lincoln piece of the Senate bill is not in the final legislation, in other words, if it's so watered down that it's not meaningful, in fact, if the whole bill is essentially so watered down, would you still think it should be voted for? Or would it be better to say this thing isn't real and you should go back and get something real?JOHNSON: A little bit depends on psychology. I think some of the consumer financial protection dimensions have a shot at being a stepping stone of progress. I think that there are pieces that may involve rating-agency reform that could be healthy. I think the resolution powers are a step in the right direction. But in terms of what you might call the danger of saying, well done, mission accomplished, when.JAY: 'Cause that's what they said about the health-care bill. Once they finally pass something, you know, now everybody's calling it a victory, all the same people that two weeks before it was voted for were saying it's an atrocity.JOHNSON: Codifying corporate monopolies and pushing off the budget fight that medical costs that are two to three times what they are in the rest of the world, which are now going to lead to a fight over curtailment of Medicare, is not a victory. That's kind of a passing moment. But the codification.JAY: But that seems to be the plan here is you fight, you pass something weak, and then you call it a victory.JOHNSON: You know, that's the marketing spin. We'll see if the American people believe that in November.JAY: Thanks for joining us.JOHNSON: My pleasure.JAY: Thank you for joining us on The Real News Network.DISCLAIMER: Please note that transcripts for The Real News Network are typed from a recording of the program.

A 39-year-old man followed his attacker while on the phone with 911 after being stabbed Wednesday night in the Crown Hill area.
Officers were called to Northwest 85th Street and Mary Avenue Northwest shortly after 11 p.m. on a report of a stabbing, according to Seattle police reports.
The assailant had reportedly just left a tavern nearby when he encountered the victim and an argument developed. The suspect stabbed the victim and ran away, but the victim called 911 and followed him, reports say.
Responding officers found a 27-year-old man with a bloody knife. Medics took the victim to a hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers booked the alleged attacker into King County Jail.

The default, as determined by the package maintainer after feedback, is the traditional flat /dev layout, as used by pretty much every other distribution out there (yes, I know there are exceptions, please don't bother to list them.) If you don't like the default, then change it on your machine. Why is this such a big deal? Why is that so many people around here get so upset if they don't get their way on something that is so easily changed to match their personal preference? Clearly, the flat layout works. The major semi-technical objection to it ("too may entries") is solved by udev. Clearly, the devfs layout works too. Therefore, the maintainer should pick one or the other. I *personally* think that avoiding gratuitous differences from other distros and previous releases of Debian tend to drive towards the flat layout, but if the maintainer decides otherwise, then okay, that will something I have to change on the systems I care about, if I care enough. It's less effort that replacing exim with postfix, so no big deal. OTOH, I'd object strongly to adding a debconf question about this.

Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in Pediatric HIV Infection
Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy in Children and Adolescents Living with HIV
Last Updated: April 27, 2017; Last Reviewed: April 27, 2017
|Panel's Recommendations
Rating of Recommendations: A = Strong; B = Moderate; C = Optional

Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a principal determinant of virologic suppression.1 Suboptimal adherence may include missed or late doses, treatment interruptions and discontinuations, as well as sub-therapeutic or partial dosing.2,3 Poor adherence will result in sub-therapeutic plasma antiretroviral (ARV) drug concentrations, facilitating development of drug resistance to 1 or more drugs in a given regimen, and possible cross-resistance to other drugs in the same class. Multiple factors (including regimen potency, pharmacokinetics, drug interactions, viral fitness, and the genetic barrier to ARV resistance) influence the adherence-resistance relationship.4 In addition to compromising the efficacy of the current regimen, suboptimal adherence has implications for limiting future effective drug regimens in patients who develop multidrug-resistant HIV and for increasing the risk of secondary transmission.
Poor adherence to ARV drugs is commonly encountered in the treatment of children and adolescents living with HIV. A variety of factors—including medication formulation, frequency of dosing, drug toxicities and side effects, child's age and developmental stage, as well as psychosocial and behavioral characteristics of children and caregivers—have been associated with nonadherence. However, no consistent predictors of either good or poor adherence in children have been consistently identified.5 Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that adherence is not static and can vary with time on treatment.6 These findings illustrate the difficulty of maintaining high levels of adherence and underscore the need to work in partnership with patients and their families to ensure that adherence education, support, and assessment are integral components of care.
Specific Adherence Issues in Children
Adherence is a complex health behavior that is influenced by the drug regimen, patient and family factors, and patient-provider relationship.7 The limited availability of once-daily and single-tablet regimens and palatable formulations for infants and young children is especially problematic.8 Furthermore, infants and children are dependent on others for medication administration: barriers faced by adult caregivers that can contribute to nonadherence in children include forgetting doses, changes in routine, being too busy, and child refusal.9,10 Some caregivers may place too much responsibility for managing medications on older children and adolescents before they are developmentally able to undertake such tasks.11 Adherence may also be jeopardized by social and health issues within a family (e.g., substance abuse, poor physical or mental health, unstable housing, poverty, involvement with the criminal justice system, limited social support).12
Adherence Assessment and Monitoring
The process of adherence preparation and assessment should begin before therapy is initiated or changed. A comprehensive assessment should be instituted for all children in whom ART initiation or change is considered. Evaluations should assess social and behavioral factors that may influence adherence by children and their families and should identify individual needs for intervention. Specific, open-ended questions should be used to elicit information about past experience as well as concerns and expectations about treatment. When assessing readiness and preparing to begin treatment, it is important to obtain a patient's explicit agreement with the treatment plan, including strategies to support adherence. It is also important to alert patients to potential adverse effects of ARV drugs (e.g., nausea, headaches, abdominal discomfort), how they can be managed and the importance of informing the clinical team if they should occur.
A routine adherence assessment should be incorporated into every clinic visit. Adherence is difficult to assess accurately; different methods of assessment have yielded different results and each approach has limitations.13-15 Viral load monitoring is the most useful indicator of adherence and is a routine component of monitoring individuals on ART (see Plasma HIV-1 RNA [Viral Load] and CD4 Count Monitoring in the Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents). In addition, it can be used as positive reinforcement to encourage continued adherence.16 Use of at least one other method in addition to monitoring viral load to assess adherence is recommended.15,17 Table 13 includes commonly employed approaches to monitoring medication adherence.
Strategies to Improve and Support Adherence
Intensive follow-up is required, particularly during the first few months after therapy is initiated or changed. If there are particular concerns about adherence, patients should be seen and/or contacted (by phone, text messaging, email, and social networking, as allowed within the context of local legal and regulatory requirements) frequently—as often as weekly, or even more often, during the first month of treatment—to assess adherence and determine the need for strategies to improve and support adherence.
Strategies should include optimization of the drug regimen and the development of patient-focused treatment plans to accommodate specific patient needs, integration of medication administration into the daily routines of life (e.g., associating medication administration with daily activities such as brushing teeth), and use of social and community support services. Multifaceted approaches that include regimen-related strategies; educational, behavioral, and supportive strategies focused on children and families; and strategies that focus on health care providers—rather than one specific intervention—may be most effective.11,18,19 The evidence is mixed as to the efficacy of programs designed for the administration of directly observed therapy (DOT) to improve adherence, but DOT may still be a useful strategy for some patients.18,20-24 Table 14 summarizes some of the strategies that can be used to support and improve adherence to ARV medications. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers a web-based toolkit (consisting of 4 evidence-based HIV medication adherence strategies) to HIV care providers (located at http://www.effectiveinterventions.org/en/HighImpactPrevention/BiomedicalInterventions/MedicationAdherence.aspx).25
Regimen-Related Strategies
ARV drug regimens for children often require taking multiple pills or unpalatable liquids, each with potential adverse effects (AEs) and drug interactions, in multiple daily doses. To the extent possible, regimens should be simplified with respect to the number of pills or volume of liquid prescribed, as well as frequency of therapy, and chosen to minimize drug interactions and AEs.26 Efforts should be made to reduce the pill burden and to prescribe once-daily ARV drug regimens and single-tablet regimens whenever feasible (see Management of Children Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy). With the introduction of new drug classes and a wider array of once-daily formulations, including some medications now available in small pill size, there are now more options to offer less toxic, simplified regimens particularly for older children and adolescents. Several studies in adults have demonstrated better adherence with once-daily versus twice-daily ARV drug regimens and with single tablet formulations compared with multiple-tablet regimens.8,27
When nonadherence is related to poor palatability of a liquid formulation or crushed pills and simultaneous administration of food is not contraindicated, the offending taste can sometimes be masked with a small amount of flavoring syrup or food (see Appendix A: Pediatric Antiretroviral Drug Information).28 Unfortunately, the taste of lopinavir/ritonavir cannot be masked with flavoring syrup. A small study of children aged 4 to 21 years found that training children to swallow pills has been associated with improved adherence at 6 months post-training.29 Finally, if drug-specific toxicities are thought to be contributing to nonadherence, efforts should be made to alleviate the AEs or change the particular drug (or, if necessary, drug regimen) when feasible.
Patient/Family-Related Strategies
The primary approach taken by the clinical team to promote medication adherence in children is patient and caregiver education. Educating families about adherence should begin before ARV medications are initiated or changed and should include a discussion of the goals of therapy, the reasons for making adherence a priority, and the specific plans for supporting and maintaining a child's medication adherence. Caregiver adherence education strategies should include the provision of both information and adherence tools, such as written and visual materials; a daily schedule illustrating times and doses of medications; and demonstration of the use of syringes, medication cups, and pillboxes.
A number of behavioral tools can be used to integrate taking medications into a child's daily routine. The use of behavior modification techniques, especially the application of positive reinforcements and the use of small incentives (including financial incentives) for taking medications, can be effective tools to promote adherence.30 Availability of mental health services and the treatment of mental health disorders (such as depression) may facilitate adherence to complex ARV drug regimens.31 A gastrostomy tube should be considered for nonadherent children who are at risk of disease progression and who have severe and persistent aversion to taking medications.32 If adequate resources are available, home-nursing interventions or DOT may also be beneficial.
Other strategies to support adherence include setting patients' cell phone alarms to go off at medication times; sending SMS text-message reminders; conducting motivational interviews; providing pill boxes, blister packaging, and other adherence support tools; and delivering medications to the home. Randomized clinical trials in adults have demonstrated that text messaging is associated with improved adherence33-37 and a recent study in poorly adherent HIV-positive adolescents and young adults demonstrated that 2-way personalized daily text messaging improved self-reported adherence.38 It should be noted, however, that the evidence base for effective adherence interventions in adolescents and young adults taking daily ART is limited.39-41
Health Care Provider-Related Strategies
To improve and support adherence, providers should maintain a nonjudgmental attitude, establish trust with patients/caregivers, and identify mutually acceptable goals for care. Providers have the ability to improve adherence through their relationships with patients' families. This process begins early in a provider's relationship with a family, when the clinician obtains explicit agreement about the medication and treatment plan and any further strategies to support adherence. Fostering a trusting relationship and engaging in open communication are particularly important.42 Provider characteristics that have been associated with improved patient adherence in adults include consistency, giving information, asking questions, technical expertise, and commitment to follow-up. Creating an environment in the health care setting that is child-centered and includes caregivers in adherence support also has been shown to improve treatment outcomes.43 Providing comprehensive multidisciplinary care (e.g., with nurses, case managers, pharmacists, social workers, psychiatric care providers) may also better serve more complex patient and family needs, including adherence.

Is it all different or the symptoms and their intensities differing from person to person but the condition is same.
Perhaps it is one condition that everyone defines differently. Then the question is - what is it called in psychology.
Well it is called Glossophobia.
Like many other philosophical psychological terms Glossophobia also originates from the Greek language. It combines two Greek words meaning tongue and fear or dread. the closest English phrase would be Tongue Tied ! But for the simplicity sake we can refer it as the fear of public speaking.
So now the definition being in place, let us understand its symptoms.
People may encounter any one or many of the symptoms of fear of public speaking (Glossophobia)
- intense anxiety prior to, or simply at the thought of having to verbally communicate with any group,
- avoidance of events which focus the group's attention on individuals in attendance,
- physical distress, nausea, or feelings of panic in such circumstances buy klonopin online .
According to academic researchers more than 95% people experience some degree of anxiety/nervousness when public speaking (Hamilton, C. (2008/2005). Communicating for Results, a Guide for Business and the Professions (eighth edition). Belmont, CA: Thomson Wadsworth).
Now that you know what the fear of public speaking is called and what are its symptoms. What next!
Knowing what a problem is called may satisfy you at intellectual levels but it certainly doesn't solve it. You must find your own ways or take help in overcoming the fear of public speaking to enable you to advance rapidly in whatever profession you are pursuing.

Proving that, for a Russian orchestra, raw emotionalism isn't necessarily all, Valery Gergiev showed that his Kirov Orchestra, in the third of four concerts at the Sage, can be just as polished, precise and glamorous as the next, with a depth of sound driven from the cellos and the double basses lined up along the back that would be the envy of most. Rarely has Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain come across as such a brilliant orchestral showpiece.
Like a switch being thrown, one fluttering hand gesture from Gergiev and the atmosphere was instantly electric, the orchestra driving through the fiery depiction of the witches' sabbath, giving an account of the closing sunrise that was as evocatively coloured as any you are likely to hear.
This virtuoso exploitation of the orchestral palette continued in the shimmering, scintillating accompaniment to Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto. From such polished beginnings, Gergiev's approach to Shostakovich was perhaps unsurprising, though I couldn't quite decide what to make of this performance of the 10th Symphony, which brought out the often unacknowledged beauty of the score. Moment to moment it was glorious; overall it didn't always feel entirely satisfying.
In the wake of the uncommon tenderness of the opening phrases of the first movement, the shrill climaxes made their impact but seemed a little disconnected to what had come before. The furious scherzo was driven onwards with rifle-fire accuracy but lacked an edge of menace; tonal quality winning out over elemental savagery.
Difficult to deny, though, was the excitement Gergiev served up in the finale. Fast, furious and brilliant, it was certainly a breathtaking ride, even if it didn't quite sear itself into the soul.

The great Marvel creative team-ups just keep on keeping on.
After Bendis & JRJR and Brubaker & Deodato, you can now add Eisner-winning writer Matt Fraction of "Invincible Iron Man" fame and artist Pasqual Ferry of "Ultimate Iron Man II" to the list of great pairings. Fraction and Ferry take over "Thor" with issue No. 615 in September.
Fraction, Ferry and Matt Hollingsworth move in where Kieron Gillen and Co. leave off — with Asgard's ruins vulnerable and a dark Big Bad from another dimension on the way to cause trouble. Or as Fraction so eloquently puts it in the Marvel press release, expect "colossal and cosmic action, giant space gods smashing each other in the faces with hammers, and all of the earth trembling in the balance. In short: everything that has made Thor great." Hey, works for me.
Posted is the cover for "Thor" No. 615. Hit the jump for a "Thor" No. 615 preview.

Nursing home vote to be May 13
Committee moves proposal without a recommendation
Published 10:06 pm, Wednesday, April 24, 2013
The county Audit & Finance committee voted 8-1 Wednesday to send the controversial lease deal to privatize the county-run nursing home to the full County Legislature without a recommendation.
A final vote by the panel on the contentious issue is expected at its scheduled May 13 meeting.
Latham Democrat Tim Nichols cast the lone dissenting vote.
Albany County Executive Dan McCoy applauded the move by the powerful committee.
He had pushed for the deal to be approved in February in hopes of handing over the reins to the private Rockland County based firm, Upstate Service Group, by July.
"I'm pleased the Audit and Finance Committee has moved the nursing home lease agreement with Upstate Services Group for a vote by the legislature next month," McCoy said in a statement. "This agreement protects our vulnerable seniors and their caregivers, as well as our taxpayers, while accepting financial responsibility."
Earlier this month, the legislators voted to alter a central element of the proposed 10-year lease with Upstate Service Group: a $12 million low-interest loan from the county to the firm.
Specifically, they stripped the loan from the lease and replaced it with an additional $4.9 million in grant money the private company will not have to repay.
While reducing the size of the overall public financial backing from $18 million, the change swells the grant to $8.9 million, on top of $2 million in capital improvements the county would make on its own.

When Pope Benedict XVI tendered the first papal resignation in almost 600 years, the more hopeful of his flock said it would help the Roman Catholic church make a break with its recent past and usher in a new era of missionary vibrancy untainted by intrigue and scandal.
The headlines of the past fortnight, however, have shown quite how unlikely that is. Not only has anger built over the role of several compromised cardinals in the choosing of a papal successor, but increasingly lurid claims have emerged about why Benedict chose to stand down in the first place.
A major new controversy, therefore, is the last thing that the Vatican needs. Rather than heralding a bold new dawn, the most unexpected and unpredictable conclave in centuries looks increasingly likely to be overshadowed – just as much of Benedict's papacy was – by scandal.
The clerical sex abuse scandals that dominated Benedict's eight years as pope have left several prelates due to take part in conclave facing questions over how they handled the affairs.
They include Cardinal Justin Rigali, the former archbishop of Philadelphia, who retired in 2011, five months after the archdiocese was stunned by an abuse scandal, and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, who last week was questioned over the abuse of children by priests in his former archdiocese of Milwaukee. Lawyers are interested in knowing when Dolan learned of the allegations and when he made them public.
Closer to home, Cardinal Seán Brady, the primate of All Ireland, has come under pressure not to attend conclave next month. The prelate has faced calls to resign over his failure in the 1970s to report the activities of a serial abuser and his apologies have done little to quell the anger. Last week Christine Buckley of the Aislinn Centre for abuse survivors in Dublin told journalists Brady would express his apology best "by not going to Rome". Her appeal, however, will not be heeded; Brady has confirmed he will take part in conclave as planned.
Amid all these names, there is one in particular that has attracted most anger: the American Cardinal Roger Mahony, whose transgressions have emerged more recently and caused outrage among Catholics in Los Angeles, where he is archbishop emeritus. Last month, a court ordered the release of files relating to over 120 priests accused of child sex abuse which showed that Mahony, along with other officials, had protected the clerics. He was publicly reprimanded by his successor as archbishop of Los Angeles and stripped of his public and administrative duties.
But, in spite of incredulity at the grass roots, he has steadfastly insisted on his right to vote in conclave, claiming he has been "scapegoated" and unfairly disgraced. On Friday night, before he was due to be questioned under oath about a visiting Mexican priest accused of abusing 26 children, he posted a message on Twitter that read: "Just a few short hours before my departure for Rome. Will be tweeting often from Rome, except during the actual Conclave itself. Prayers!" His determination has infuriated Catholics in the US: thousands have signed a petition demanding Mahony recuse himself from the conclave – or, in its words, "stay home!"
It also appears to have caused consternation in the Catholic establishment in Italy, with the influential magazine Famiglia Cristiana running a poll asking readers if the American cardinal should attend or not. The answer was no.
In recent days conclave has not been the only cause of controversy. Benedict's surprise resignation has generated intense speculation over the internal machinations of the Vatican, with the latest report claiming he chose to quit after reading of a network of gay prelates in the church, some of whom were vulnerable to blackmail. According to La Repubblica, the pope decided to resign in December after receiving a report into the so-called Vatileaks affair which claimed that one of many "factions" within the church was a group of priests "united by sexual orientation".
Last week the pope's spokesman Federico Lombardi declined to confirm or deny the claims. But on Saturday he went on the attack against what he said was a rumour mill working overtime to discredit the church.
Writing on the website of Vatican Radio, he condemned the "gossip, misinformation and sometimes slander" that had been swirling in the wake of the announcement.
"Those who consider money, sex and power before all else and are used to reading diverse realities from these perspectives, are unable to see anything else, even in the Church, because they are unable to gaze toward the heights or descend to the depths in order to grasp the spiritual dimensions and reasons of existence," he wrote. "This results in a description of the Church and of many of its members that is profoundly unjust."

- Miriam reviewed 4 years ago
I recently started to run in Brooks Adrenaline GTS 14 shoe. I would have never selected these shoes but a good friend within the running community asked me to run in them. I am very selective on my running shoes because I have flat feet and have been told many times that I should run in motion control shoes or add inserts for support to my shoes. So for years, I wore Asics Evolution, Asics Foundation, and Saucony Stabil, and didn't have any problem with my arches. If I ever tried to run more than 3 miles in any other shoe, my feet would begin hurting because the shoes just lacked the support that my feet required.
When my friend fitted me with the Brooks Adrenaline, she told me to go up ½ size up from what I typically had been running in (I typically would wear a 7-1/2 and went up to an 8). She recommended the increase in size because of the high mileage I was doing and she couldn't have been more right. The shoe is also lighter than what I was currently running in and I noticed it as soon as I laced up and went out for my first run on my new shoes. I highly recommend this shoe to individuals who are flat footed or overpronators. Happy Running!

Details of the MMA Fifty Five Years (1959-2014) Book
|Ms Rissa | Ms Sakthi | Ms Rafidah
|+603 - 4041 1375
|MMA House, No 124, Jalan Pahang, 53000 Kuala Lumpur | Alternate Link -> The MMA 55 Years (1959-2014) Book
The MMA Fifty Five Years (1959-2014) Book
Finally we made it! A book of 250 pages, with 165 photographs and portraits, in hard cover, complete with jacket and casing, documenting the 55-year history of the Malaysian Medical Association was completed in May 2015. Initially intended to be a publication commemorating 50 years of the MMA, it did not take off then due to other pressing issues facing the Council at that time. The project was shelved. A relook at the project was made somewhere in early 2014 and the Council of Prof Dato' Dr N.K.S. Tharmaseelan approved a revival of the book. Datuk Dr Kuljit Singh, then Hon. General Secretary invited me to work along with him on the project. That was the start of a year of hard work, difficulties, road blocks, nonetheless satisfying at the end!
We appointed the Publishers, who offered a very reasonable price for 2,000 copies of the book. We accepted that offer. But as work progressed, we noted that it was a tough call! We roped in Past Presidents Dr David Quek, Prof Dato' Dr Tharmaseelan, former Wilayah Branch Chairperson Dr Azizan Aziz and as ex-officio Dr Ravi Naidu, into the Editorial Board.
It was decided early, the book will document the founding of the Malaysian (then Malayan) Medical Association, its founding fathers, the progress and development over 55 years, ending in the year 2014. Hence, within that scope, the book has finally taken a very national perspective. We have given emphasis to those who had served in the build-up of the Association, and are no longer with us. A full gallery of the Past Presidents has been created.
The MMA does not have an archives unit, or a dedicated officer responsible for the archives, hence much time was spent ''digging'' up materials here and there! Fortunately, a publication: The History of MMA: The First 35 Years published in 1995 was available. Annual Reports, the Berita MMA, and interviews with Past Presidents and Senior Members of the MMA helped. We thank all of them.
The Publishers, had all in all, produced 12 drafts! Dato' Dr R.S. McCoy, Dato' Dr V. Thuraisingham, and Tan Sri Dr Mani Jegathesan assisted in the final review of the drafts, and we are indebted to them. Despite all the caution, the 'Printer's Devil' still made its appearance, and we had to correct a few errors after the final printing!
YAB Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak in his message traces the close relationship his father had with the MMA. The late Tun Abdul Razak as Prime Minister had officiated the opening of the MMA house and Dato' Sri Mohd Najib has continued maintaining a close association with the MMA.
Very fittingly, the Foreword to the book is written by a very senior Doctor, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a Founder Member of the MMA and the one Medical Doctor who led the Nation as Prime Minister for 22 years. In a very personal foreword, Tun writes about his joining the MMA as a young Medical Officer, later becoming a Life Member, and serving the MMA Council under the Presidency of Dato' Dr A.W.E. Moreira as the Representative of the Northern Region of the MMA.
A message by the Minister of Health YB Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam, a Life Member of the Association and a former Chairman of the MMA Melaka Branch completes the invited messages.
Thirtieth of June, 2015 will be etched in the annals of the MMA. YAB Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak launched the book in a simple yet historic ceremony at the Office of the Prime Minister at Putrajaya.
The event was also attended by the Minister of Health YB Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Health Tan Sri Farida Bt Mohd Ali, and the Director General of Health Services Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah and the Deputy Director of Health (Medical) Datuk Dr S. Jeyaindran. The MMA Council led by the President Dr Ashok Philip and members of the Editorial Board were present. The event was given wide coverage in the print and electronic media.
The books are now available for sale at the MMA Secretariat. Please contact either Ms Rissa, Ms Sakthi or Ms Rafidah @ +603-4041 1375 to get your hands on the MMA Fifty Five Years (1959-2014) Book.

Longtime Juneau resident Gene Norton died March 1, 2001, in Long Beach, Calif., while visiting relatives. He was 55.
A gathering and farewell toast will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday at the Triangle Club in downtown Juneau.
He was born in Los Angeles. He came to Juneau in the early 1970s and was employed at many downtown restaurants and clubs as a cook and a bartender. He also worked in Pelican at Rosie's and lived for several years in Tenakee Springs, where he served as fire chief. Most recently, he was employed by Taku Taxi.
His friends wrote, "Gene had a great intellect and taught us many things, mostly to laugh at ourselves. He was a kind and loving friend and he was always there to help."
Donald E. Richter
Juneau resident Donald E. Richter died March 23, 2001, in Burney, Calif., after suffering a massive heart attack.
He was born Aug. 17, 1945, in Tacoma, Wash., and spent his youth in the Tacoma and Seattle areas. He graduated from West Seattle High School in 1963 and the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago in 1967 with a major in missions and aviation training.
He married Joanne Hegland in 1967. They came to Alaska as missionary church planters in 1973 with Baptist Mid-Missions. The last four years have been spent in Juneau in a team ministry at Bethany Baptist Church.
He is survived by his wife, Joanne Richter, of Juneau and daughters Lisa Armstrong of Irkutsk, Russia, and Tammi Reid of Petersburg; his mother, Louise, and sisters, Diane, Linda and Vicki, who live in Washington. There are five grandsons.
A graveside service was held March 31 in Bremerton, Wash., and a memorial service was held April 1 at Gatewood Baptist Church in Seattle, where he had grown up and determined to serve in full-time ministry.
The family suggested any memorial gifts be sent to Baptist Mid-Missions, P.O. Box 308011, Cleveland, Ohio, 44130-8011, for Donald Richter Memorial Russian Church Fund.

Former Juneau resident Jeanne R. Martin, 67, of Central Point, Ore., died March, 21, 2001, in Talent, Ore.

Re: tring to find family
I'm not certain that my Uncle Lee ever came back to check for replies... I'd like to know the answers, though, so I'll try to answer.
Uncle Lee (Breese) is a twin (Lynn Breese, Female--my mom). They were born to Ed (Edwin? I think Edwin Charles) Breese and Catherine May Breese (Winn) in Polk County Iowa in 1948 and have a younger brother named Randy. Grandpa Eddie's mom's name was Harriet, but her husband died before I was born and I am not certain of his name, possibly Charles). Prior to that I am not certain of names but I believe Grandpa Eddie was born in NE? I'll share this with my mom, she can probably answer better. Does that help any? I know that the Breese and Winn families have married many times over the years, and that we have both on both sides of the family, as well as many Nelson and Nelsen ancestors.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as I am trying to put together the family history and keep it up!

$913 million in first quarter of 2013
By Mario Toneguzzi, Calgary Herald
CALGARY — Investment in non-residential building construction in the Calgary region was on the rise in the first quarter of this year, according to Statistics Canada.
The federal agency reported Thursday that investment in the Calgary census metropolitan area reached $913 million, up 3.2 per cent from last year.
The commercial sector saw investment increase by 4.9 per cent to $742.6 million while the industrial sector experienced a rise of 85.4 per cent to $58.4 million.
In the institutional category, investment was down by 22.8 per cent to $112 million.

NEW YORK - Wall Street extended its record-setting rally Wednesday as a sharp drop in oil prices and a surprise jump in the nation's gross domestic product encouraged more buying. The Dow Jones industrials and the Standard & Poor's 500 index both reached new 3 1/2-year highs.
The market's buying momentum surged when crude oil futures plummeted in response to the Energy Department's report of an increase of 2.1 million barrels in the nation's petroleum reserve last week. Demand for gasoline also fell. Shortly after the report, a barrel of light crude was quoted at $44.24, down $1.52, on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Wall Street also welcomed the Commerce Department's final third-quarter GDP reading, which rose to 4 percent from previous estimates of 3.9 percent.
''Right now, the market is moving on any headline that moves over the wires, and right now the news is pretty good,'' said Jack Caffrey, equities strategist at J.P. Morgan Private Bank. ''That's what happens in a slow week, like we're having. We'll probably drift higher this way until earnings season next month.''
The Dow rose 56.46, or 0.52 percent, to 10,815.89, surpassing the 3 1/2-year high reached Tuesday. The Dow last closed above 10,800 on June 13, 2001.
Broader stock indicators were moderately higher. The S&P 500 was up 4.12, or 0.34 percent, at 1,209.57, bettering the 3 1/2-year high set last Wednesday. The Nasdaq composite index gained 6.12, or 0.28 percent, to 2,157.03, less than six points off its multiyear high set last week.
The GDP report gave many investors hope that the fourth-quarter reading will be stronger than expected. Analysts had feared that low job growth high energy prices would stifle economic growth. Oil prices, in particular, were seen as an extra drain on consumers' incomes, but the Commerce Department figure, along with the Energy Department's inventory report, assuaged some of those concerns.
''Any time you're up the day after you set new highs, that's a great sign,'' said Neil Massa, equity trader at John Hancock Funds. ''Long term, of course, whether we can sustain it remains to be seen. But I do think that, without any major surprises, we'll be up the rest of the year.''
Investors also took note of the departure of Fannie Mae's chief executive Franklin Raines and chief financial officer J. Timothy Howard, hoping that the mortgage giant can now move beyond its accounting scandals. The company is the biggest player in the country's $8 trillion mortgage market.
Fannie Mae's stock has suffered since Sept. 22, when the company said the Securities and Exchange Commission was investigating its finances. It fell to a 52-week low of $63.40 on Oct. 4, but has recovered somewhat as the investigations continued. On Wednesday, news of the resignations sent shares of Fannie Mae climbing $1.57 to $71.92.

The 18-time English champions could move four points ahead of the sixth-placed Toffees with victory at Anfield but know that they face a tough task.
The two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 clash at Goodison Park in November - the third successive draw between them - and, with the local rivals separated by just one point in the Premier League, the match could have big ramifications at the end of the season.
|Liverpool are 13/20 with Betway to score the first goal when they take on Everton
"We are at home and we just want to go out from the first whistle and press really high, press them and make sure they know we are up for a game. We have just got to keep doing what we have been doing and get on the ball and dominate possession.
"It will be a tough game for us but we are at home and we need to go out and show, like we have done all season, that Anfield is our fortress and put on a good display and go and get three points.
"When we played them away it was a fantastic game and there were some fantastic goals. It was very tight and I'm sure this will be no different on Tuesday."
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a superb season at Anfield but prefers to talk about his team, enthusing that the character and mentality that they have shown has impressed him.
"We are starting to get that winning mentality and ruthlessness that we need to be at the very top," Henderson noted. "I think we have shown that in certain games, especially the last game against Aston Villa, when we were 2-0 down and things weren't going our way and you really find out about yourselves as individuals and as a team.
"I think we showed a lot of character in that game to come back [and claim a draw]."

Sunset Beach Police looking for man who attacked, robbed elderly woman in parking lot
SUNSET BEACH, NC (WWAY) — Sunset Beach Police are asking for help as they investigate the robbery and attack of an elderly woman in a parking lot in broad daylight.
It happened Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot of the Walgreen's at 842 Sunset Blvd. North in Sunset Beach.

The man is described as about six feet tall, about 200 lbs. with a medium build. He was wearing a black shirt, black and red athletic shorts and a black ball cap. He walked south down Seaside Road on foot.
The victim was transported to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center with serious injuries, police say.
