Reviews for this host's other properties
The 'Yellow Tram Apartment' is a good accommodation with all the necessary things that you also could find in you're own home.
The host and his employees, make you feel directly that you are in a good environment and give outstanding service. They take their time to explain how the best way is to explore the city of Lisbon and give you tips what you have to try of the Portuguese food, history and the nightlife.
ThanX you all: Carolina, Ruth, Ricardo and Joana
Theo, Marleen Tatjana and Jairo.
After the hosts welcomed us friendly and gave us some nice tips for our stay, we could start enjoying Lisbon. The apartment itself was small, but sufficient and tidied up as well as it offered everything needed for our stay. With its great location it was easy to discover everything by walking around.
Perfect location for a short city trip!
The appartment was clean, well renovated an all necessary utensils were there.
A lot of very good restaurants and bars within a 5min walk reachable. Also the checkin and checkout were really easy (thanks to Pedro!) :-)
We'll come again!!
Had a brilliant time again in lisboa, appartment is very nice and well located went to Costa da caparica (walk to the ferry across to cacilhas,bus to cdc takes about 45 min bus 135) shopping mall Colombo splendid , we will be back thanks a lot see you next time. Grtzzz Miranda, Will, Nick
Awesome and unique apartment in der middle of Lisboa to enjoy real Portuguese life. You can go anywhere by foot, so you do not need any public traffics.
Little bit noisy because of the life and the constructions outside- so if you want to live at a quiet place you have to choose a place more outside of Lisboa.
There is only space for maximum 6 people: 2 bedrooms with double bed and one sofa for 2 persons in the living room.
I would go to this apartment any time angain because I love this kind of living.
Would be great to have something at the apartment to clean the floor during a stay, because 5 or more people make a lot of dirt during a week or more.
The hosts were very kind to us and helped us with any wishes we had concerning the apartment.
All in all: Perfect times in Lisboa- thanks a lot! Muito obrigada!
The house was wonderful, clean and near the city center and a supermarket. We loved the ice machine in the fridge! The people were very nice and helpful. They gave us tips and when the wifiI stopped working (witch was not there fault, but the providers) they fixed it for us. Overall really great. If we would ever visit Lisbon again we would definitely stay here!
Great place in a great neighbourhood of Lisbon.
super great apartment with 2 balconies. good location with lots of native shoppings and metro station right outside the door. the apartment was clean and everything was fine.
contact to rental companies was fine , everything went well.
I would stay here again, although it was in 5.floor without elevator, but it was no problem for us.
great location. nice people
When Ruth opened the door to the loft, we were absolutely surprised. It's a very special and great apartment with an absolutely modern kitchen.
Ruth was very nice and friendly like everyone else at the Blue House was. I would definitely recommend staying there!

Oops, one of Yum! Brands (YUM) suppliers might have done it again.
Reuters reports that China is testing mutton–the term for the meat from adult sheep–from what it says is a supplier to Yum! Brands' Little Sheep restaurants, although Yum denies the connection.
Acting on a tip, Shanghai food safety inspectors and police raided a wholesale market on Friday and found packages labeled "New Zealand mutton" at one supplier that had no production date or list of ingredients, according to a report on the website of the municipal food safety committee (www.spaq.sh.cn).
Invoices indicated that some of the meat had already been sold to several restaurants, including outlets of Yum-owned Little Sheep, the website said. The meat was being tested and results would be available in about a week, the report added.
I spoke with Yum's Jonathan Blum, who denied the report. "The rumors are false," he said. "There is no evidence of adulterated products in any of our systems." He noted that Little Sheep franchises are required to buy their meat from approved suppliers, which are regularly checked to ensure they meet the its standards.
The market's muted reaction. Shares of Yum! have dropped 0.8% to $68.35 today, while the stock suffered much larger losses when reports a suppliers tainted chicken emerged back in December.
For now, it's a case of wait and see.

Some SDcards set miso (and others) open collector during the init sequence, so people indicate problems w/o a pullup (I've seen somewhere 30% cards need pullups). The internal 50k pullup (to +5V) is weak so the card's clamping diodes at the inputs will probably survive (will pass the current to the card's 3V3 thus limit input voltage to 3V3+Vfd).
Or you may simply put a 10k pullup from miso (at sdcard's side) to 3V3 and do not enable the pullup in atmega. That is probably the best approach.. Atmega is fine with 3V3 input when powered from 5V.
I've got a couple hundred boards already manufactured
dc42:Could I use the internal pullup rather than adding another resistor? If not, why not?

Now showing
Identity: yours, mine, ours is an exhibition at the Immigration Museum. It is about identity – who we are, who others think we are, and what it means to belong and not belong in Australia.
Download the Identity trailer: I belong video
Watch this video with a transcript
The exhibition focuses on how our cultural heritage, languages, beliefs, and family connections influence our self-perceptions and our perceptions of other people – perceptions that can lead to discovery, confusion, prejudice and understanding.
Engaging personal stories, intriguing objects, compelling images and interactive multimedia experiences invite visitors to find connections with others, as well as challenge the assumptions we make about each other every day. Visitors are encouraged to share their own stories, affirm their own identities and celebrate diversity in our community.
Identity images on Flickr
To generate interest in the exhibition we took to the streets of Melbourne (Little Collins Street to be precise) with photographer Scottie Cameron in March 2011. We asked people to have their photo taken as part of this gallery of image and tell us when they felt they belonged and what their identity was. The response was great - take a look at the images.
Have you visited the exhibition? Let us know what you think.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.

Dear Guitar Hero: Eric Johnson Discusses His "Koto" Technique, Tone, Signature Strat and More
He's a perfection-driven, genre-bending ax slinger from Texas with one of the most distinctive electric guitar tones in music. But what Guitar World readers want to know is ...
How did you get that fantastic liquid tone on "Cliffs of Dover," and was that one cohesive solo or an amalgam? — J. Paradis
I played a Gibson ES-335 through a 100-watt Marshall. I put it all together by playing sections, then dropping them in and connecting them into a seamless whole.
What is the greatest misconception about you and your music? — Ray Wilson
That's hard to say. The music business constructs an image of an artist based on what it wants, and that image tends to stick around. Sometimes, no one bothers to look between the cracks to see if the image resembles the truth. That can be frustrating, but it's also the responsibility of the artist to obliterate that image by making something powerful enough to dispel it.
There is certainly a stigma to being a "guitar hero." But I know what music turns me on and how I want to fit into the world of guitar players. I try to keep on that journey with everything I do, without worrying too much about how others perceive me.
What would you suggest for someone on a limited budget who wants that trademark Texas-sized Eric Johnson tone? — Voltage
Good tone, whether it's based around mine or not, begins with a versatile amplifier. I recommend a silverface Fender Twin or Pro Reverb, especially if you can get one with a nice old Jensen speaker. You want an amp with pure tone, something with which you can create a clean and simple sound. From there, you can add an overdrive pedal or any other effect you want, but you have to begin with a good clean sound. To make another point, I think people overemphasize the importance of gear in their search for tone. Your sound comes from how you pick and dampen the strings, and from your attack, as much as anything.
Who are some of your favorite classical composers? — Joe Sweep
Aaron Copland, Maurice Ravel, Béla Bartók, Claude Debussy, Igor Stravinsky and Mozart. Franz Liszt and Chopin are way up there. Georg Telemann is a very interesting guy, and I also love George Gershwin.
Was Chet Atkins an influence on your hybrid-picking technique? — Sandy Halliday
He was, but Chet is so special to me that I've always tried to just enjoy his music and not dissect it. I like the overall effect of his playing, in a reverent way, and I don't want to make listening to his music an effort. However, a lot of Chet's picking technique came from Merle Travis, who I have studied pretty intensely, so I'm sure I have a lot of Chet in my technique, whether I realize it or not.
I've heard about your "koto" technique. What is it? — Stratoblaster
It's really pretty simple. You just fret the note with the index finger of your right hand, then pick directly behind it with your right hand. Because you're picking so close to the fret, the picked string sounds thin and twangy, like a koto [a traditional Japanese stringed instrument]. I'll also place my left hand on the string to stretch it. This also allows me to pull off my right-hand finger; since my left-hand finger is still in place, doing this can create a nice pull-off sound.
Why are there no string trees on your signature Strat? — Ben Ford
String trees hinder a guitar's ability to stay in tune, but they're necessary because of the headstock's pitch — that is, the degree to which the headstock is tilted. We changed the pitch slightly, which, in combination with the staggered tuning keys, allowed us to eliminate the trees. As a result, you can actually use the guitar's vintage tremolo system a small amount without the guitar going out of tune.
Rosewood or maple fretboards, and why? — Frank Stokes
Maple seems to have a purer fundamental tone, and that's what I generally use, though I think rosewood has a better rhythm tone for complex harmonics. I own one rosewood Strat, and I like it.
What is in your rig? — Nikili Kite
It's very simple. I have three amp setups that produce tones ranging from really clean to very saturated, though I never use them all at once. The first setup consists of two Fender Twins with a Princeton Chorus stereo chorus. The second is a Marshall 100-watt set around 7.5 to 8 on the first channel for a Keith Richards–style crunch rhythm. I have a Fuzz Face on there, so I can also kick into a Hendrix-style sound. The third setup is a Marshall with a Tube Driver, for extra saturation; the Marshall's volume is all the way up, and the EQ is set for a classic Clapton tone. Occasionally, I use a CryBaby wah with any of these, but I run it through a rack.

I sort of went by the seat of my pants with this rag quilt. Did i totally mess it up or will it be ok??
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I sort of went by the seat of my pants with this rag quilt. Did i totally mess it up or will it be ok??
I love to do binding.
Super quilt..I have not done a rag quilt yet but will certainly keep this one in mind. It will be really cozy after being washed and I have great liking for the 30's reproductions.
it looks absolutely fine to me. now clip those seams and you are done.
I haven't made one yet but, looks good to me. Make sure you quilt a line through both ways of each square. Clip it and you are finished. Nice colors.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
Thank you both. Going to stop at store and get rag scissors.
I love to do binding.
definitly get rag scissors, i did mine with regular scissors never do that again. your quilt is beautiful
Looks great! I always double seam around the quilt in case I snip too close. If the store has them get Heritage rag scissors. They are the most comfortable to use.
Got fabric?
Looks wonderful, so far!
By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
~Richard Dawkins
Your quilt looks great and no one would ever think of it as a "seat of your pants" quilt. I don't have the rag scissors yet either, but I have read that they make the snipping go a lot quicker and easier on your fingers.

Does any of this sorting follow when you move pictures off the iDevice?
Does it allow the renaming of photos inside the photos app? Been waiting 5 years for something that does something like that...
But does it sync? The problem for me with these tweaks is that I use iPhoto and I keep things very organized there. It would be a waste of time for me to do that on the device. However, If I could do the organization on the device, and it synced to iPhoto, that would be huge!
Sounds like it could replace photoalbums+ on my idevices :-D
Doesn't seem to work on my iPhone 5 running 6.1
I am unable to move any photos from my camera roll to any of the other existing albums.
Maybe im doing something wrong? but ive tried everything.
Yes you can move photos around withing the album but big deal.
App is no good if you cant shift photos to different albums.
I love this app but wish there was a way when I move them to a new folder it just deletes them from the camera roll all in one go.

Yay! I drove up to Vancouver, and I now have a new place to live, starting in April. It's a 2 bedroom place in Yaletown.
It looks like a great neighborhood - it's sort of like a mini-Soho. There are lots of cool coffee shops and bars, it's an easy walk to downtown, and it's close to the library, GM Place (home of the Canucks) and BC Place (home of the BC Lions). Everybody on the street seems pretty happy and friendly.
I'm just totally amazed to come back to downtown after ten years to see all the empty lots and warehouses torn down and replaced with all the new highrises.
Now I just have to arrange for movers and figure out what I need to do to import my car. Plus a million other small things.
Also, I decided to "kill two birds with one stone" on this trip. So I plunked down for a new dual dual-core Opteron (so it has 4 cores @ 1.8GHz) with 8GB of RAM and 1.6TB of disk in a hot-pluggable SATA RAID. When I drove up to Vancouver, I stopped in Seattle, and installed it at Forona in the Westin building downtown, near Westlake Center and the monorail. I don't know much about the Forona guys, but their prices seemed reasonable, and there aren't many colo places that cater to people with just one 1U box to install. They were very patient with me during the install and they seem to know their stuff. I'm still very happy with Simpli in San Jose, but I wanted to use a second colo just so I can have some redundancy (plus it's a bit closer to Vancouver).
I put Xen 3.0 on the server, but I haven't set much up on it yet.
So I now have two servers I can put commercial stuff on. I really needed a second server so I could provide some level of reliable services to (future) customers, while still being able to experiment with new stuff (like clustering and failover). When I finish my move to Vancouver, I'll have some time to put up some websites with some of the new things I'm playing with.

Selena Gomez hosts a benefit concert for UNICEF
Selena Gomez is back! After taking a year off from singing to work on her acting career, including the making of a new movie, Selena is back in the recording studio. She kicked off the return of her musical career on January 19 with a benefit concert to support United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), an international charity organization)."There's no better feeling than being back on stage," Gomez told TFK. The singer will begin touring again this spring, after the release of her new album in March.
Giving Back
Selena has spent the last three years as an ambassador for UNICEF, which helps kids in 190 countries and territories. "I believe in the organization," Gomez told TFK. "I've been able to witness what they do for kids and how they save kids' lives all over the world. I think they're incredible." UNICEF provides education, healthcare and access to immunizations. Gomez helps create awareness about UNICEF by hosting benefit concerts and events, as well as by visiting some of the countries the foundation supports.
"When I started, 24,000 children would die of preventable causes every day," Gomez told TFK. "My goal is to help bring that number down to zero, and to do what I can." Selena has visited Ghana for UNICEF, and is planning to visit Tanzania this year, a country UNICEF is helping to grow and change. Tanzania would be her fourth trip with UNICEF.
When TFK asked Gomez about her interests and how she spends her free time, Gomez answered, "I like to sleep!" Selena also has six dogs that keep her busy. "If I didn't act or sing, I would go to culinary school," she said. "I love to eat, I love to cook." Gomez also still loves to act; next, she'll star in a Wizards of Waverly Place special for Disney Channel, airing on March 15. When asked about her role model, Gomez named actress Rachel McAdams. "I think she's beautiful, and she's a successful actress. I hope to have a career like hers one day."

The Clone Wars is gone, sadly. Hasbro has put the brakes on the expression as well. But what if they did a "best of the best" or "best figures hardest to get" exclusive multipack? What should go in it?
For me, it starts with Seripas, a great-looking figure that simply wasn't findable. Honestly, had the expression continued they could have done a set of just bounty hunters with like Bossk, Boba v2, Aurra Sing, Seripas, Embo, Cad Bane v2, IG-86, Hondo, Cato Parasiti, and the Nikto Guard (I know he's not a bounty hunter, but he looks enough like one). But it didn't, so we have to ask ourselves, if there's just 1 more pass at this, what figures should be in it?
Here's my list of figures I consider top potential for a set like this, excellent figures or ultra-rare figures that looked good:
Armored Savage Opress with lightsabers (the Target battle pack release was missing his sabers)
White Magnaguard (w robes, robed head, and non-robed head)
Firefighter Droid (painted in regular battle droid colors maybe?)
Droideka? (I like this figure)
Cad Bane v2 w/ Todo-360
Hondo Ohnaka
I'm on the fence about Darth Sidious, one of the rarest figures in the line but without removable gear he's not really in the show much.
Do we need to include Aayla and Hondo? I think they got easy to find re-releases already, but if not they'd be on my list.
For a clone, I say Cmdr Bly, he's got a lot of good stuff going on and was I think hard to find. Or perhaps Cmdr Jet but with a different big weapon.
So, what do you guys think? What would be in your set?

I am overwhelmed! (I got over my speechlessness watch out! LOL) Thank you so much for the great honor of being chosen MOM. The Lords timing on this was perfect; its been a very difficult period in my life and this has certainly started September off in a whole new light.
When I first found SG I signed up for the newsletter, I read Ros musings with great faithfulness. But I never explored the website much, in fact once I got done reading the muses I stopped and didnt even finish the newsletter. Little did I know that there was a freebie every day. Wow, I missed so much and it wasnt just the freebies that I missed out on, it was getting to know everyone involved in the forums and chats. When our world seemed to fall apart and I spent many sleepless nights I decided to explore further and signed up on the website. The rest has been a flurry of activity since I found all of you beautiful, supportive people at SG.
Scrapbooking first began for me as a paper scrapper in about 2002. My DDs were into it and convinced me I would enjoy it as well, which I did. One day I was searching online for something and discovered the world of digital scrapbooking and though I still have my paper supplies I hardly ever use them. In fact Ive considered getting rid of all those things and going totally digital. I have learned so much since I started digital in 2006; the difference between those first pages and the ones now is phenomenal! I owe much of that to the wonderful classes Ive had at SG. Im proud to say Ive convinced my DD to go digital as well, you might know jdhochstetler here at SG, thats one of them. My other DD is interested, but way to busy working full-time, going to school, & raising 3 kids. But she is a member, 3kidsmom is her user name here & she did go to the Ohio Meet-Up with us.
This was supposed to be short wasnt it? But I have to close with a word about ScrapGirls. The warm friendly atmosphere that has been created here is superb (thank you Ro for following through on your wonderful plans to make it so great!) Ive learned so much here the chats, the forums, the people are all fantastic and Im so proud to be a part of it all. Last spring I had the pleasure of meeting some of you in Ohio, even meeting that passionate, purple primate -- Huckleberry. The meet-up was one of the highlights of 2011 for me!
My favorite chats have to be the Speed Scraps and the Swaps. In the forum I appreciate the Prayer and Praise so much. You have all carried me through times of turmoil and shared in my joys in the past couple of years; what a pleasure its been.
Thanks again for the MOM honor.
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Maria Robinson

Web logs are all the rage now, but I'm going for a more disciplined style of writing on my web pages. I'm trying to use these editorials/rants/funny stories to improve my writing. When I was young I thought I would be a journalist or a novelist or some kind of arsty-fartsy writer, before I got hooked back into computers. Now I'd like to get back some of those writing skills.
A sample of the most recent post:
The Beatles were blamed for Charles Manson. AC/DC was blamed for Richard Ramirez, Catcher in the Rye was considered generally subversive, etc. And in my generation, Quake is blamed for Columbine and Flight Simulator is blamed for the World Trade Center strike.

First published in Portuguese in Folha de Sao Paulo.
Barack Obama's first presidential campaign elevated expectations with the populist slogan, "Change you can believe in." His mixed-race heritage made electing the first African-American to the U.S. presidency a profoundly resonant moment in American history. But until earlier this month, his hesitation to support gay marriage felt insincere and political now that LGBT rights have become the defining civil rights issue of the century. So when Vice President Joe Biden and two of Obama's cabinet ministers publicly embraced gay marriage and the president quickly followed suit, it was no surprise that public opinion polls likewise showed Americans doubting the president's sincerity.
Nearly every cohort among his liberal, progressive, democratic, youthful, African-American, Latino, or anti-war base has found something disappointing in Obama's presidency. His White House has developed a reputation as the most politically calculating in history. His leadership style is conflict averse. Until recently, Obama seemed to believe that in the market of public policy, the best ideas will prevail, or can be negotiated through bipartisan dialogue.
But Washington no longer solves its domestic battles in such a civilized manner. Making matters worse for public servants, the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which legalizes "superPACs" unlimited private funds for campaign finance, may be the most significant threat since the Civil War to the hopes for fairness Obama embodied on that memorable election night in 2008, when as president-elect he walked on the stage of Chicago's Grant Park.
Obama can't compete with Mitt Romney for superPAC funding. He needs money from wealthy gay donors. And he must fire up progressives, making sure young people especially come out to vote this November. But were Obama's motives only political and financial? I don't think it really matters.
Six years ago at my children's school, a group of parents created the Gay Straight Parent Alliance to help our school incorporate gay rights into its existing civil rights curriculum. Some reluctant parents wrongly conflated the goal of teaching children to regard the choice to love someone of the same gender as a fundamental civil right, with teaching them about sexual behavior. It took a few years to show the parents the difference, and to move beyond the somewhat denigrating message of "tolerance," to the concept of full equality and protection under the law. The pedagogical exercise our school undertook, and that the country as a whole is struggling with, just got a big boost from the President of the United States. With just 122 words, he laid down a marker against which future laws and cultural norms will be measured.
Voters in southern swing states may reject Obama over gay marriage. But the economy, not social issues, will decide the national election. Whatever the outcome, and whatever the calculus behind his decision to come out for gay marriage, President Obama offered Americans another Grant Park moment. Like his election four years ago, he boosted the country's capacity to embrace diversity, not as some politically correct mantra, but as an essential ingredient of genuine democracy.

I too despise the phrase "bettering the breed" and dislike seeing it used for marketing especially. My breed is Labrador and I don't think it needs any bettering, I think it is a pretty danged fine animal. So fine, in fact, that it has been split into a variety of branches, field, bench, "British", pointing, etc. Everyone who breeds a litter of Labs does so for their own specific purpose and desire. As long as they aren't hurting the dogs (or slamming mine ) , I don't care much, to each their own.
Just addressing the common, normal clearances for Labs: No point in discussing breeding EIC/CNM/PRA, those are easy as simple math to breed around to not produced affected dogs. If one chooses to produce potentially affected dogs from these, then I think it is on that person to test those pups and keep the affected ones to deal with responsibly. If they have the stomach to cull in order to breed something they absolutely have to have, then that's on them, no one else should have to deal with affected offspring unless they choose to. Carriers and clears are not affected, a simple, cheap test identifies the genetics, end of story.
Eyes have their own issues, cataracts, folds, entropion, ectropion etc. Yes, some seem kind of pointless to fail CERF for, folds being a particular point of contention, but overall, less problematic than hips/elbows, in my experience anyway.
Breeding around hip and elbow dysplasia is not black and white. There is no simple mode of inheritance. Radiographs are all we have to screen with, OFA and PennHip, and there are problems with both, even more so with elbows & OFA, in my opinion. It is very difficult to get an accurate representation of a history of hips and elbows on OFA. Much that fails doesn't get published. Some spend time filling in the blanks, researching close relatives of the dogs, listen to the gossip of who is out with what injury/surgery, and try to form a pattern of what "lines" (to oversimplify) might be trending with bad wheels, (including CCL ruptures for me). Age also plays a part, when did the dog start having problems? Add in environmental and it becomes even more muddied. I don't think all dysplasia is created equally, particularly elbows, I think there's more to it and the individual needs to be considered. But, to take the risk of breeding to a known dysplastic, or even a normal dog with more than the average percentage of offspring with issues, well, I'm not that big of a gambler, personally, but, that is my choice, others will make different ones.
I've had dysplastic dogs live normal, active lives. It's easy to say what's the big deal sometimes. Usually, that sometimes is when someone has a nice dog that they've put some time and money into and really wants to breed it and needs to find that justification to do so. Other times, it is knowledgeable breeders making an informed decision. We can go too far in expecting perfection, yes, but how much risk is justified in a breed with the depth and width of Labradors that a dog with failed clearances needs to be bred? That's up to the breeder. It's bad enough when things go wrong even when all the clearances are there. How do I explain and justify to the sobbing, frustrated owner that I deliberately bred to a higher risk? That's what I have to weigh.

Illegal vending choking Santa Cruz despite police promise
Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth - The police say they are committed to keeping the streets of this south central town free of illegal vending for the yuletide season.
However, registered fee-paying vendors of the Santa Cruz Arcade just north of the Santa Cruz market on Saturday pointed to unauthorised street vending on the sidewalks of the town centre as evidence they had been let down by the authorities.
A check by the Observer in early afternoon Saturday showed an assortment of clothes, shoes, toys, Christmas decorations and other goods lining the sidewalks at the centre of the busy town which is the commercial centre of St Elizabeth.
When contacted, Commander Anthony Lewis who is in charge of the Island Special Constabulary Force (ISCF) in St Elizabeth insisted that "all areas are being policed as far as I know". He claimed that the police would be moving against the illegal vendors in Santa Cruz. The ISCF is responsible for anti-vending operations.
Lewis said his team had a policy to keep all major town centres free of illegal vending.
But vendors at the Santa Cruz arcade told the Observer that ongoing, large-scale street vending was undermined their livelihood and that they felt betrayed. 'The parish council promised us that we would get protection… but now we not selling anything everybody on the streets," one vendor told the Observer. "The Mayor not helping us none at all, they (parish council) said they were going to help us but they just helping us down," she complained.
When contacted yesterday, chairman of the St Elizabeth Parish Council and Mayor of Black River Everton Fisher declined to comment. A week ago Fisher had told the Observer that the parish council was "working with the police" to ensure that "as much as possible vendors are kept off the streets of Santa Cruz and Junction".
Fisher had said then that a special arrangement had been made for Black River where renovation work is taking place on the market for vending to be allowed on the "side streets" of the parish capital.

Though the GOP's ideas may be closer to fixing the economy, it is their Platform and radicalization that did them in.
That's because they've done a great job of excluding the great majority of Americans. Their social agenda is right out of the Stone Age and the shift to the far right isn't anything the American people wanted a part of. The Tea Party, which says they are about Liberty stands for anything but Liberty. The American people identified candidates like Akin, Murdoch, West and a few others as being what today's GOP is all about. Romney, instead of rejecting the radical right, embraced it and that is why Obama won in a landslide.
Romney and Ryan were not the right candidates, period. They had nothing to say and they could not buy the election. Therefore, we are stuck with Obama for the next four years and unless another party emerges, one that better represents the peope, we are doomed to Dems for the future!

Colloquium to address 'Grand Challenges'
Friday and Saturday, April 11-12, 2008, various times · Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall
Posted April 4, 2008; 10:38 a.m.
"The Grand Challenges: Energy, Development and Global Health" is the theme of the sixth annual Princeton Colloquium on Public and International Affairs, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 11-12, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The colloquium will examine key issues that are being targeted by Princeton's Grand Challenges initiative, a joint effort by the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Princeton Environmental Institute (PEI) and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs to tackle societal problems that cannot be solved by a single discipline.
Leading practitioners, academics and policymakers from a range of disciplines, backgrounds and countries will address causes and solutions related to issues such as global health and infectious disease; rural poverty, land use, biodiversity and water in Africa; energy, environment and security; and environmental justice.
The colloquium's sessions are 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Julie Louise Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will deliver the keynote address on "Infectious Disease in the Age of Globalization" at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Panel topics will include "The Engaged Campus," "Energy, Climate and Security," "Eco-Friendly Development," "Antibiotic Resistance: When Drugs Don't Kill the Bugs" and "Environmental Justice."
The colloquium discussions will be webcast on the University Channel website and will be available on the site after the event. A final report highlighting the proceedings will be published after the event.
A full schedule and list of speakers is available on the colloquium website.
The colloquium is sponsored by the Wilson School, PEI, the School of Engineering, the Center for African American Studies, the Center for Health and Wellbeing, the University Center for Human Values, the Pace Center, the Policy Research Institute for the Region and the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy.

Working with communities to assert local control
While Global Exchange works with communities everywhere to place the rights of people and nature over the interests of corporations, our focus is in California. Everyday communities are being turned into sacrifice zones for corporate profit or find that the law prohibits them from becoming centers of true sustainability.
For nearly two generations, community organizing has taken a detour. Instead of rallying people to assert our rights to truly govern in the places where we live—and demanding what we really want—we settle for "mitigating"—or regulating—the corporate assaults that enter our communities.
Ostensibly, the regulatory system is supposed to protect people and the planet from destruction, but typically it is the industry to be regulated that sets the standards. Like gambling in a casino, we're playing by the House's rules. Even when we "win" we don't get what we want, we can only hope to lessen the damage.
It is time to change the rules to ensure that the people who must bear the effects of policy decisions are the only ones who make them. It is time to assert our rights as communities to define the kinds of places we want to live.
We receive calls everyday from communities facing a wide range of issues including:
- gas fracking;
- water withdrawl;
- cloud seeding;
- forced fluoridation,
- SmartMeters;
- aerial pesticide spraying;
- toxic sludge;
- corporate interference with elections or city planning;
- mining;
- massive development
- the list goes on. What is the issue in your community?
Other communities are seeking to become sustainable cities, but find that the laws prohibit them from enacting policies such as:
- local food preferencing and sustainable food policies
- energy self-sufficiency;
- maintaining city character
- sustainable waste disposal;
- creating a viable local economy
- ecosystem protection

So, I just got this nasty tweet saying that Dexter will not be on TWC anymore!
I was like WTH?
Attached was a video that explains TWC is no longer carrying SHOWTIME. In a panic I switched to SHOWTIME only to find my fears confirmed and to be met with an UGLY post explaining that SHOWTIME is no longer available and I will have free access to Encor and Starz until they get it straightened out.
The SHOWTIME website says they offered to allow TWC to continue broadcasting even if they couldn't reach an agreement (presumably for a time period until they DO reach an agreement) but TWC turned down the offer! WTH?!?!
I am not a happy consumer!

While FDR maintained that we have nothing to fear but fear itself, British playwright Caryl Churchill modifies that dictum in her 2000 Far Away, which is getting an imaginative production at Roger Williams University's Barn Summer Playhouse (through June 25).
We have nothing to fear but ourselves, she points out, and goes far toward convincing us in an economic 45 minutes.
We are properly placed off-balance by scenic designer Kelly Cabral's smart and effective opening set. A tilting white café table and two matching chairs, equally distorted, are set on a black-and-white checkerboard stage, order hopefully beneath disorder. Slanting blue walls direct our attention to a backlit orange background with silhouettes of absurdly fancy ladies' hats.
We are prepared for weirdness. And considering that Churchill and her plays have an aversion to naturalism like Birthers have an aversion to common sense, the realistic opening scene has an additional tension.
In a nightgown and clutching her stuffed koala bear, Joan (Erin Sheehan) tells her Aunt Harper (Melanie Snow) that she can't sleep. A sound in the dark outside frightened her, and gradually she draws a description that grows more and more ominous. No, her aunt assures her, it must have been an owl, not a person screaming. Get the picture? Gradually, Joan admits to having seen more and more, including blood she had to wipe off her slippers, and point by point Harper gently explains away reality with all the smooth sophistry of a government press spokesman.
Is the aunt protecting the child? Herself? The uncle who was seen doing questionable things? Harper tells her that all their lives are in danger if Joan reveals what she has seen. The only comfort she can offer the child is that she is now part of a movement "to make the world better."
Next, several years have passed. We are not on a battlefield or witnessing political debate, we are in a hat factory. Two people in white coats are at a table designing women's hats, like kids playing in kindergarten, sticking a feather in here, a ribbon on there. Joan is now grown up, and her bench-mate Todd (Christopher O'Brien) is nervously trying to connect with her, obviously attracted. Churchill has incidental fun here lampooning solipsistic creativity: Todd says he designed an abstract hat the week before, modeled after a street, with gray for the sidewalk and blue for the sky. No one would know the reference, he says, but it satisfied him.
We get little flickering peeks at the outside world, such as when Todd mentions in passing that he was "up till 4 watching the trials." Between O'Brien and the skillful direction of Robin Stone, Todd is established as a character with dangerous self-assurance. He contends that "I'm the only person in this place with any principles," so when he bravely sets forth to complain to the head of the company about corruption in the industry, we have reason to worry about him.
Days go by between scenes. Eventually, Joan is praised by Todd for getting one of her hats placed in a museum. I wish I could tell you the real purpose for these hats, because it's chillingly, cleverly, allegorically apt. Churchill certainly has a knack for finding the right absurdity to match the right reality.

I now have website themes on my homepage; a result of staying up a bit late a few evenings ago, writing a bit of web code. It's thanks to some nifty use of PHP, XHTML, and CSS.
I now have website themes on my homepage; a result of staying up a bit late a few evenings ago, writing a bit of web code. It's thanks to some nifty use of PHP, XHTML, and CSS.
Changes, etc.
Today, we had to take Occy.Net down. This makes my home page currently inaccessable. You can read the scoop on the site.
In the mean time, I am working on getting another place to host my web site and e-mail.
In other (unrelated) news, Comcast finally switched away from using @home in my area. As a result, half the 'Net is slow (packet loss & bad routing) and the other half is unaccessable. Unfortunately, my connection is also unstable, so I have pinged out a few times on IRC already.
Now for the good news of today: I have updated my Advogato diary finally! Woohoo! (:
An entry here has been long overdue. Too long.
Strangely enough, there isn't much to say at the moment.
Oh well.
Long time no post. (:
I've been busy working on the next generation of Linux.com. It's going to really rock. It's going to feature tons of CSS niceness and still (somehow) be compatible with Netscape 4.x. It already meets these goals on the development site. *grin*
So anyway, enough about work.
I've updated my personal web site a little bit tonight. Fun stuff there.
Now for something totally different:
Mozilla. It's the hype of the day. If not, it's at least the topic of discussions and rants on a few of the IRC channels and mailing lists that I am on. I think it's a good thing. There have been many speed improvements and bugfixes over since the 0.8 release alone, and many more to come shortly around the corner.
Sure, you might not be a developer of Mozilla directly, but there are ways you can help... Report a bug. Don't forget that Tuesdays are bugdays, afterall! (Drop by #mozillazine on irc.mozilla.org and report, report, report!)
Anyway... I really should post more often.
Wow. So when I was outside today, I stumbled across three bears. You don't mess with bears, espcially cubs with parents.
Anyway, I kept my distance, but took a few photos, as I had my camera on me. Luckily nothing else happened. *grin*
I should have the pictures up on my website soon.
Long time no update. I guess I need to start posting stuff here again.
Anyway, I did a minor modification to LinuxArt today... Just a little change.
Not much else is happening right now. Been really busy working on Linux.com related things, and also recently pushed LinuxGram.com live.
I'll post more news as it happens. *grin*
Well, I decided to release a new spiffE today!
You can get it from e.themes.org.
If you run Sawmill instead, get spiffMILL.
What's new? Well, both support something speacial called "spiffomatic", which is a nice color scheme maker. You get to "theme" the "theme" with different color schemes. Of course, Enlightenment's spiffomatic support is a bit more, as it has more window states, its own weird menu stuff, and also epplets. For Sawmill, it has focused and unfocused window support.
It's very cool stuff.
Well, it looks like ScottyO commented about Xach commenting about an article. ScottyO claims that Xach's comment would have been fine on a site like Slashdot, and not on Advogato.
Here's where I disagree with ScottyO... If Xach mentioned something about Natalie Portman, hot grits, "first post", or just plainly said, "this sucks!", then, yes; that sounds more like a common -1 Slashdot comment. In my opinion, Xach's comment was adaquate for this site, as it pinpointed exactly what Xach thought. It was his opinion, and he's entitled to that. Also, Xach suggested how the article could be written better through constructive criticism.
I think Xach is justified in his comment, personally. Also, I think the article was a nice effort, even if it was not perfect. If it benefitted someone, it was worth publication.
So. This was an odd day. I swung by the post office for a few reasons today. Oddly enough, despite the fact it's a national holiday (St. Patrick's Day, interestingly named after St. Patrick, a Saint in Ireland who drove out the snakes, according to the story), the place was open.
While I was waiting in line to talk to the postal worker, my eyes started wandering around the back wall. Tons of multi-color forms flowing about, pamphlets, flyers, and a nice little FBI wanted poster holder on the wall. What's this? The top item on the FBI list was some guy who resembled me a bit (but with the addition of a scar on the bottom lip, and some tattoos -- both of which I do not have), since I haven't shaved in a couple days. I then turned around and hoped that no one would think I was the FBI wanted guy.
I stopped by the stamp machine before leaving. I tossed in a couple bucks to purchase -- stamps, of course. After the second dollar, I realized that the standard stamp book was sold out and all that remained were some flowery, "Valentines day" stlye stams (complete with lace). Pressing the eject button was to no avail, as it said that I must purchase something before getting money back. I was stuck. I ended up buying some envelopes instead.
Second stop of the day: The Bank. No, this had nothing to do with any FBI picture (*grin*). I just had to tend to my accounts, as boringly usual. I did, luckily, get "home banking" info, which should turn out to be very cool.
I stopped by a sub shop, picked up a turkey and avacado on wheat with salt and vinegar chips, snarfed it down, ran a few more errands, and returned home. I've been working since.
By the way: In case you're still wondering (for some reason), I've never been in jail, never had a traffic ticket, and I still have the little tags on my matresses.
I think I'll wait for XF4 to hit Woody before upgrading for good... then I might get my hands on another video card. Until that time, it's x2x for me!
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Daniel Coyle takes a look at the Tour de France and the state of professional cycling with the help of Tyler Hamilton, a former cyclist who was found guilty of doping and exiled from the sport. Here's an excerpt.
In June of 2010, I flew to Denver to meet Tyler Hamilton. When I walked out of the terminal I saw him behind the wheel of a silver SUV. Hamilton's boyishness had weathered into something harder; his hair was longer and showed flecks of gray; the corners of his eyes held small, deep wrinkles. As we drove off, he cracked open a tin of chewing tobacco.
"I've been trying to quit. It's a filthy habit, I know. But with all the stress, it helps. Or at least it feels like it does."
We tried one restaurant, but Hamilton decided it was too crowded, and chose an emptier one down the block. Hamilton picked out a booth at the back, two candles burning on the table. He looked around. Then the man who could tolerate any pain — the one who'd ground his teeth down to the roots rather than quit — suddenly looked as if he was going to start crying. Not from grief, but from relief.

- Kylie Jenner's Lip Kit Is Ruining Lives (According to the Internet, Anyway)
"Sorry," he said after a few seconds. "It just feels so good to be able to talk about this, finally."
I started with the big question: Why had Hamilton lied before, about his own doping? Hamilton closed his eyes. He opened them again; I could see the sadness.Video: Teammate: Lance Armstrong failed drug tests (on this page)
"Look, I lied. I thought it would cause the least damage. Put yourself in my shoes. If I had told the truth, everything's over. The team sponsor would pull out, and fifty people, fifty of my friends, would lose their jobs. People I care about. If I told the truth, I'd be out of the sport, forever. My name would be ruined. And you can't go partway — you can't just say, Oh, it was only me, just this one time. The truth is too big, it involves too many people. You've either got to tell 100 percent or nothing. There's no in-between. So yeah, I chose to lie. I'm not the first to do that, and I won't be the last. Sometimes if you lie enough you start to believe it."
Hamilton told me how, a few weeks before, he'd been subpoenaed by the investigation, placed under oath, and put on the stand in a Los Angeles courtroom.Video: Lance Armstrong's fall from grace (on this page)
"Before I went in I thought about it, a long time. I knew I couldn't lie to them, no way. So I decided that if I was going to tell the truth, I was going to go all the way. One hundred percent, full disclosure. I made up my mind that no question was going to stop me. That's what I did. I testified for seven hours. I answered everything they asked to the best of my ability. They kept asking me about Lance — they wanted me to point the finger at him. But I always pointed it at myself first. I made them understand how the whole system worked, got developed over the years, and how you couldn't single one person out. It was everybody. Everybody."
Hamilton rolled up his right and left sleeves. He put his palms up and extended his arms. He pointed to the crook of his elbows, to matching spidery scars that ran along his veins. "We all have scars like this," he said. "It's like a tattoo from a fraternity. When I got tan they'd show up and I'd have to lie about it; I'd tell people I cut my arm in a crash."Story: Lance Armstrong teammate: I have 'smoking gun' he doped
I asked how he avoided testing positive for all those years, and Hamilton gave a dry laugh.
"The tests are easy to beat," he said. "We're way, way ahead of the tests. They've got their doctors, and we've got ours, and ours are better. Better paid, for sure. Besides, the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale, the sport's governing body) doesn't want to catch certain guys anyway. Why would they? It'd cost them money."

I asked why he wanted to tell his story now.Story: Soccer star shares story in 'Solo: A Memoir of Hope'
"I've been quiet for so many years," he said. "I buried it inside for so long. I've never really told it from beginning to end before, and so I'd never really seen it, or felt it. So once I started telling the truth, it was like this huge dam bursting inside me. And it feels so, so good to tell, I can't tell you how fantastic it feels. It felt like this giant weight is off my back, finally, and when I feel that, I know it's the right thing to do, for me and for the future of my sport."
The next morning, Hamilton and I met in my hotel room. I set out three ground rules.
1. No subject would be off limits.
2. Hamilton would give me access to his journals, photos, and sources.
3. All facts would have to be independently confirmed whenever possible.
He agreed without hesitation.

Hello everyone,
How about a "camp style" hunt over here since the MN DNR made such a mess of the turkey hunting for 2012 ?
We have; plenty of turkeys, plenty of left over tags, public land everywere, a seven day mid week season, and the WI DNR is considering lower NR fees ! What more could you ask for except good weather and during May thats 50/50 but based on the start to this winter what the heck is going on. My body says yes but my bank says hang on it will snow I'm down about 2000.00 this month already, sorry Santa...
BYO stuff ie Tent, Camper, ect. work together on other camp essentials, only drawback to Camping in WI you can't camp on public lands. I like to hunt and camp from the same spot like MN , that was one of the main reasons I came to Houston MN.
I have a great spot in Gotham WI that is on the Wisconsin River, therfore it's wisconsin river parkway land ( private land trust ) open to the public that's all I know, I 've been going there off and on since 1997. I guided someone from California last time I was there "thicker" than before, and the birds were there along the river like always and in town by the cemetery.
You can camp on any of the islands not on shore, some of the islands you can walk to most years. I said most there are other options private property is the other, some of the locals are friendly. There are other options depending on how far do you want to travel, but that gets expencive. Centeral WI has a TON of birds and hwy 29 is a straight shot.

I did some more fooling around with ACE, but it looks like it's too large and interdependant to try to use just the pieces I need. Too bad, overall I'm pretty impressed by it. After reading the ACE book I picked up Pattern Oriented Software Architecture - Volume 2 - Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects (POSA2). It covers a lot of the same things as ACE but from a more abstract perspective.
I've been prototyping a new design for the client-server network code in Suneido based on the ideas from ACE and POSA2. It looks like it'll be an improvement over the current code - cleaner, faster, and more portable.
Been "strongly encouraging" pair programming with my programmers. I don't think they're all totally sold on the idea - I'm not even sure I'm 100% convinced. But I have to say that the more we do it, the more I'm sold on it.
jhill - thanks for certifying me as master - I appreciate the gesture. :-)

Big lakes likely to be frozen during fishing opener
Local bait shop owners, fishing guides and resort owners seem to be in agreement: It is unlikely that large local lakes will be free of ice for the Saturday, May 11, walleye and northern pike fishing opener, but smaller ones might be more promising.
Leech Lake is the third largest lake entirely within the borders of Minnesota, which also makes it unlikely to have much open water for the 2013 fishing season opener. For Jack Shriver, who depends on the lake as a bait shop owner, fishing guide and ice house rental owner, that's bad news.
Shriver's ice houses have been off the lake since late February, and he said his guide service is pretty slow until June.
"On opening week a lot of guys come and they bring their own boats and it's kind of quiet. About Memorial (Day) weekend you start getting interest. Then in June it picks up even more," he said.
As a result, Shriver and other bait shop owners depend heavily on bolstered bait sales during fishing season opener.
"Opening weekend for us in the bait business is probably our second biggest, if not our biggest, weekend of the year," Shriver said. "You just can't make it back up. So it's kind of scary."
Unfortunately, even if ice is off of area lakes by Saturday, local bait shops like Shriver's Bait in Walker are unlikely to carry a springtime favorite bait — shiner minnows — until later in the season.
"Normally at this time of year live bait is usually the most successful, whether it's minnows or crawlers or leeches. This time of year is typically mostly minnows, whether they're fatheads or rainbows or shiners," said Jim Tuller, owner of Swanson's Bait and Tackle in Hackensack. "We won't have shiners because they come out of the larger lakes and you can't get something that's under the ice. That's going to be an issue, but that's typically what people use this time of year."
This difficulty is one Shriver and many other bait shop owners are facing as well.
"There's hardly any bait out there. We're hoping we can get into a jig and minnow bite right away once we get started and switch into leeches and crawlers, but that's the unknown this year. There's nothing coming right now," Shriver said.
In spite of all this, anglers appear to be stubbornly clinging to tradition and even a little bit of hope concerning local lakes. Shriver's guide service has been reserved long in advance for this coming weekend, and that reservation was not canceled as of Monday, May 6, though lake conditions could still change that.
"More than likely we're going to have to cancel," Shriver said.
Norma Coughlin of Kilworry Resort on Upper Whitefish Lake said her regular yearly customers have yet to cancel their fishing opener reservations.
"Some of them are for two weeks and they would stay, and some of are for the week and I think they are anticipating that by the weekend we will have open water," she said. "Some are for the weekend and so far they are hanging in there."
If lakes are still covered in ice Saturday, anglers will have few choices. They'll have to find smaller lakes with open water or check to see if bays on larger lakes are open.
"I think there's going to be some small lakes that will (have ice off), but I'm not sure if Pine Mountain's going to be one of them," said Dave Sheley of the Backus Corner Store and Gun Shop.
"I believe that birch has a possibility (of being open). I would say that Ten Mile, the main part of the lake will not be open," said Tuller.
Tuller also suggested that anglers consult their local bait shop owners for up-to-date information about open lakes and suggested that anglers keep an eye on Pleasant Lake, Stony Lake, Webb Lake and other popular, smaller lakes in the area.
"I would just tell people if they have a question to call their local bait shop and get the latest update," he said. "We have a tendency to be more conservative than some because we want it to be right when people call, but I think that will get you the most recent update as we go through this week and next."
Another option anglers might consider is the possibility of ice fishing on fishing opener, though DNR officials and bait shop owners urge anglers to have caution.
"There's been a few (people ice fishing), although there's a little bit of peril anymore," Sheley said. "We're really not recommending it."
However, if anglers do plan to drill a hole and wet a line this weekend, Shriver said perch fishermen are still relying heavily on wax worms and fathead minnows, which might be important options if local bait shops cannot get shiner minnows soon.
Whatever option anglers choose, they are cautioned that ice conditions are quickly deteriorating. They should take precautions, prepare accordingly and not take unnecessary risks.

When we last left our heroes, Fry, Leela, Bender, and the rest of the Planet Express crew had traveled into a wormhole, possibly never to be seen again. At the time, it was Futurama's way of portraying its own uncertain future — the show was facing cancellation by the Fox network. Now that Comedy Central has resuscitated Futurama, after seven years, you can believe that it found a way to address that as well: emerging from the wormhole, the senile Professor Farnsworth points out that they managed to discover some kind of "central channel." One of the other characters finds this funny. "Yes, it's sort of a comedy-central channel," Farnsworth replies. "And we're on it now!"
For the uninitiated: Futurama, created by Matt Groening (along with David X. Cohen), follows the adventures of Philip J. Fry (voice of Billy West, who also does half of the other characters), a slacker who wakes up in the year 3000 after having been accidentally frozen in an abandoned cryogenics lab, where he'd shown up back in 1999 to deliver a pizza ordered by a prank caller. In the future, he meets up with his last remaining relative — the ancient professor — and a group of oddballs. Like Leela (Katey Sagal), a cyclops who's also a space captain, and Hermes (Phil LaMarr), a Rastafarian bureaucrat, and Bender (John Di Maggio), an alcoholic robot prone to saying things like "Bite my shiny metal ass."
Futurama has always been a sharp blend of subversive humor, broader character material (like Dr. Zoidberg, the humanoid-crab physician), and sneak-attack jokes that don't hit until the second or third viewing. It's not unlike the humor on Groening's more famous animated show, The Simpsons, but it's not identical, either. Futurama is generally darker and more melancholy, with a wistful nostalgia for the visions of the future once presented at World's Fairs and in old comic books.
In another departure, not only from The Simpsons but also from practically every other animated series at the time, Futurama has a somewhat linear (though flexible) plot line that's centered mostly on the romance between Fry and Leela. The first new episode, which airs tonight (June 24 at 10 pm), spends some time re-establishing that continuity by bringing everything back to normal. (The process involves robot clones and a urinal camera.) But it's enjoyable enough to see these old faces again, and the plotting doesn't seem necessary, since all we really need to know is that Fry and Leela are still romantically entangled. A better idea might have been to reintroduce each character in a way that made them all more accessible to those who've never seen the show or don't remember it from its initial run.
The second episode feels a bit stale, with its plot about a hyperactive V-chip satellite that "censors" planets by destroying them. The humor in these episodes is not as sharp as it used to be — which is understandable given the hiatus. There's a gag based on a series of winces by Zapp Brannigan (the cocky, clueless pilot) that just aren't funny enough to justify their repetition. But surely the writing will get better as the season goes on, and none of the groaners is bad enough to render Futurama unwatchable. That same second episode also features my favorite joke of the new season thus far: when the gang need to persuade the population of Earth to change their ways or risk annihilation, the professor says, with Al Gore–like confidence, "People are sure to clean up their acts when presented with cold, hard facts from rational folks like us."

Director, Laboratory of Epithelial Cancer Biology
Conditions Treated:
About Me
Treatment for head and neck cancer is constantly evolving. Once treated mainly with surgery, head and neck cancer treatment now involves cooperative, multidisciplinary teams to achieve the best possible outcome. Our treatment team includes surgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, speech therapists, rehabilitative specialists, as well as ancillary support services. Our goal is to treat patients using the most effective tools available in the world.
As a surgeon actively involved in the care of patients with head and neck cancer, my role is to serve as leader of the treatment team. I have extensive experience in surgery and an in-depth understanding of each of the disciplines involved in the treatment of head and neck cancer. My philosophy to treat the whole patient, not just the cancer, serves as the basis for our team approach.
I have been involved with clinical care at Memorial Sloan Kettering for more than a decade and have learned during this time that even though our current treatment approaches are effective, they do not work for every patient. My desire to improve patient cure rates and quality of life has led me to study cancer genetics to gain a better understanding of head and neck cancers. I obtained a PhD to supplement my clinical knowledge, and I now am actively involved in clinical and laboratory research aimed at improving the treatment of patients with cancer. Our research has helped to establish treatment approaches that serve as cornerstones for modern management of head and neck cancers.
Given the effectiveness of our treatment approaches and research efforts, I was appointed Director of the Laboratory of Epithelial Cancer Biology, and I have been asked to share my expertise at numerous national and international meetings. I have authored more than 100 articles and 20 book chapters related to head and neck cancers. In addition, the American Joint Committee on Cancer has asked me to help develop a new staging system for head and neck cancers, which will serve as the basis for state-of-the-art therapeutic decision making.
My expertise extends to all head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on cancers of the mouth (tongue, floor of mouth, and buccal mucosa), skull base, and salivary and thyroid glands, as well as melanomas and skin cancers of the head and neck region. Once my team takes on the responsibility of your treatment, we will aggressively pursue all avenues to achieve a cure.
