U.S. Wants to Buttress Alzheimer's Arsenal by 2025
Left unchecked, the number of Alzheimer's patients could triple by 2050, experts say.
TUESDAY, Jan. 17, 2012 (HealthDay News) — With the Alzheimer's epidemic predicted to reach crisis proportions as the U.S. population ages, a panel of experts is meeting for two days to draft a plan to combat a disease that is fast emerging as one of the nation's biggest — and costliest — health threats.
The goal of the plan is to improve diagnosis, buttress support and training programs for families with a loved one stricken with the mind-wasting disease, and develop better treatments — and possibly even a cure — by 2025.
"The idea behind the plan is to develop a coordinated effort to solve the Alzheimer's problem," said William Thies, vice president for medical and scientific affairs at the Alzheimer's Association.
"We recognize that the demographic imperative is going to happen with the peak of the epidemic in 2050," Thies said. By that date, it's estimated that 16 million Americans may be suffering from Alzheimer's disease, he added.
"We are struggling to manage the number we have now, which is a little over 5 million. So you can imagine with three times as many [patients], current systems simply can't manage that increase. It points to a very bleak future if we don't do something pretty quickly as the baby boom population starts developing more Alzheimer's disease," he said.
"Using current systems, this is simply unmanageable," Thies said.
Over the next two days, the advisory council of experts is meeting in Washington, D.C., to review a draft of a plan proposed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The draft was created in response to the National Alzheimer's Project Act, signed into law one year ago by President Barack Obama.
The plan will include everything from increased scientific research into causes and treatments for Alzheimer's, to how Medicare would reimburse doctors, and everything in between, Thies said.
To make this happen it will cost some $2 billion a year, Thies said, adding, "It's clear we have to upgrade our effort."
"We are going to have a plan. We don't know what it's going to look like. The [Alzheimer's] Association is committed to get the best plan that is possible. And if the plan isn't good enough we will not keep that a secret," he said.
But some in the forefront in the fight against Alzheimer's disease worry that the plan won't be enough.
"While it is always helpful to call attention to the disease, I worry that efforts like these are mostly window-dressing," said Dr. Sam Gandy, Mount Sinai Professor of Alzheimer's Disease Research at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
"There are no funds attached, and there are no basic scientists on the panel. I don't see how they can seriously discuss cure without basic science input. I would also say that 2025 is way, way too optimistic," he said.
Greg M. Cole, a neuroscientist at the Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System, said the panel's goals are certainly worthy — to be able to diagnose the disease early and provide support for caregivers and their families.
"But many people won't seek early diagnosis without more powerful treatments that do more than provide temporary symptomatic relief," he said. "Who wants someone to confirm a dreaded diagnosis with no expectation that they can beat this disease?"
That reality has to change and treatments must be affordable, Cole said.
"The diagnostic methods that have received the most government support use expensive imaging methods that would cost a fortune to implement on a mass scale. We need cheaper methods to screen an aging population," he said.
But the biggest challenge, Cole said, is the dearth of proven therapies to treat Alzheimer's.
"Most of the current approaches in the pipeline — like passive immunization with antibodies — are likely to be very expensive at tens of thousands of dollars per year per patient," he said. "Therefore they are not very suitable for prevention in an era of limited resources."
Even if treatments work to stabilize the disease and modestly improve symptoms, these approaches seem likely to increase — rather than decrease — the medical costs of the disease to government and insurance providers, Cole said.
"Drug companies will invest far more than government in finding new treatments. If the past is any guide, they will provide better tools for disease management but with increased costs," he said.
A plan that addresses the medical costs of dementia in an aging population has to center on prevention, Cole said. "There should be far more government resources aimed at a serious efforts at finding and implementing low-cost prevention methods," he said.
Currently, an estimated 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer's or a similar dementia. Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading killer in the country, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

HARRISON, N.J. – The New York Red Bulls and San Jose Earthquakes boasted the top three scorers in MLS coming into their Week 6 match and all three of them made an impact as the two sides tied 2-2 in one of the weekend's marquee match-ups.
Kenny Cooper and Chris Wondolowski each found the back of the net and Thierry Henry provided an assist as the Red Bulls and Earthquakes played to a 2-2 draw at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night.
The draw ended the Red Bulls winning streak at three games, and gives them a 3-2-1 record on the season. It also marked the first time this season the 4-1-1 Earthquakes had surrendered more than one goal in a match.
It only took the Red Bulls five minutes to score the opener and it was the tandem of Henry and Cooper that combined on the tally. Henry slipped a ball inside the penalty area to Cooper, who beat the offside trap and finished with a low shot past Jon Busch.
The Earthquakes pulled level shortly after through a goal from Rafael Baca. After Dax McCarty was stripped of the ball near midfield, Wondolowski hit a pass behind NY defender Markus Holgersson that allowed San Jose's Khari Stephenson to exploit the space left by the Red Bulls' stretched back line. Stephenson then dribbled forward before squaring a pass to a wide-open Baca.
New York reclaimed the lead eight minutes later when McCarty scored his first-ever goal as a Red Bull. Winger Dane Richards got by a lunging Ramiro Corrales on the right flank, and whipped in a low cross that McCarty volleyed into the low right corner.
OPTA Chalkboard: Red Bulls back line struggles in home draw
Corrales quickly made up for his role in the Red Bulls goal, helping jumpstart the 35th minute scoring sequence that led to Wondolowski's seventh goal of the season. Corrales changed the point of attack from left to right, with Steven Beitashour getting on the end of the pass before floating a cross into the area that Shea Salinas flicked back to a diving Wondolowski, who headed home.
An eventful first half concluded with a sequence which saw the Earthquakes lose two players to injury. A tussle in the NY box between Red Bulls midfielder Rafael Marquez and San Jose's Shea Salinas led to a broken collarbone for the Quakes player.
Also, influential SJ central defender Victor Bernardez suffered a sprained knee ligament while going up for a header on the same play, knocking him out of the match and forcing his manager Frank Yallop into a second substitution before halftime.
The fireworks subsided in the second half, which didn't see as many chances created although each team pushed for a winner.
The Earthquakes came close on a pair of occasions, but Red Bulls goalkeeper Ryan Meara denied substitute Simon Dawkins and Marvin Chavez hit a curling shot wide.
The Red Bulls, meanwhile, had their best opportunity to pick up three points on a low shot from Henry that Busch parried away.
NYRB next take to the road to face Eastern Conference rivals D.C. United on April 22, while the Earthquakes return home to Buck Shaw Stadium to host Real Salt Lake on April 21.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw
|Marvin Chavez
|Honduran is bringing it in this early season with another end-to-end performance. His team needed it after watching two starters go down to injury.
|Chris Wondolowski
|Wondo just keeps scoring, punishing a lackadaisical Red Bulls back line for an equalizer. What may go unnoticed is the hard work he put in all over the field to help his squad earn the draw.
|Dax McCarty
|The giveaway on the first Quakes goal does not take a way from an overall productive performance in midfield. Won his share of balls and kept it moving for his team. Quality finish on his first Red Bulls goal.

text: From eerie mushrooms glowing green on fallen logs to microscopic plankton shining near the ocean surface, bioluminescence is found everywhere in nature. Bioluminescence — the production of light by living organisms — seems almost like magic. But it often serves a very practical purpose. Life forms use their shining abilities to attract mates, catch prey, or confuse predators. While relatively rare among creatures on land, up to 90 percent of animals in the deep sea are thought to be bioluminescent, often snaring victims using glowing lures. An upcoming show at The American Museum of Natural History in New York City called Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence looks at this wondrous phenomenon. Featuring live organisms as well as scale models explaining the details of bioluminescence, the exhibit will focus on the different ways that nature exploits living light. The show opens March 31 and runs until Jan. 6, 2013. Above: Glowing Shrooms Bitter oyster mushrooms, which grow on trees throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, glow a faint green at night. Panellus stipticus are typically found on dead logs, though the species can sometimes also infest wounds of living trees. The fruiting bodies have glowing gills and grow in dense overlapping clusters. The light in bioluminescent mushrooms comes from proteins known as luciferases. In some related mushroom species found in the eastern U.S., only the root-like part -- known as mycelia -- glow, creating a faint nighttime forest light known as foxfire. Image: AMNHJ. SparksLuminescent Coral Off the coast of Little Cayman Island in the British West Indies is Bloody Bay Wall, a sheer vertical cliff that dives 1,000 feet into the ocean. Clinging to this wall is a rich accumulation of coral-reef marine life. Corals share space with yellow tube sponges, sea fans, tiny shrimp, brittle stars, lobsters, and many other creatures. While some of the coral species are bioluminescent, most are biofluorescent – meaning they glow after first absorbing light. The vivid reds, greens, and oranges appear only when the biofluorescent corals, fishes, and sea anemones are illuminated by specific wavelengths of light. Image: Jim HellemnFirefly Forest Among the best-known bioluminescent creatures are fireflies. Found all over the world, these small winged beetles produce a glowing light that is usually green, yellow, or pale-red from their abdomen. The light serves different purposes throughout the firefly's life cycle. As larvae, the glow warns predators of their bitter or toxic taste. Male adults use the light to find mates during courtship, with many species using particular flashing patterns to identify themselves. This image was made with a long exposure to capture the radiant display in Okayama prefecture, Japan. Image: Tsuneaki HiramatsuUltraviolet Scorpions Because of certain minerals reactive to ultraviolet wavelengths in their exoskeletons, scorpions will glow when under a black light. Other insects as well as many spiders possess this capacity, too. Image: AMNHD. FinninLanternfish Glow Common lanternfish are thought to account for as much as 65 percent of all deep sea fish biomass. Though scientists don't know all the details, their bioluminescence is thought to play a role in communication, helping coordinate shoaling and courtship behavior. While it might seem hard to hide with glowing lights attached to your body, lanternfish can use their bioluminescence as camouflage. By mimicking ambient light levels coming from above, the fishes seem to vanish when viewed from below. Image: FMNHL. Smith and AMNHJ. SparksFlashlight Fish Flashlight fish live in tropical waters all over the world. These fish, of the family Anomalopidae, contain small organs underneath their eyes full of bioluminescent bacteria. The organs are used to communicate, avoid predation, and attract prey. Image: FMNHL. Smith and AMNHJ. SparksBlack Dragonfish Terrifying black dragonfishes live deep under the ocean, and are covered in small light-producing photophores. Some species will also dangle a small barb in front of their mouths as a lure to prey. They are typically dark, especially around their gut, to prevent the bioluminescent glow of their just-eaten prey from shining through their belly, which could attract larger predators. Image: FMNHL. Smith and AMNHJ. SparksDinoflagellate Radiance Groups of tiny single-celled marine plankton known as dinoflagellates come together in enormous groups to produce this amazing blue glow. The species on display here, Pyrocystis fusiformis, can be seen with the naked eye. The spindle-shaped cells are about one millimeter long and are found all over the world's oceans. These dinoflagellates have nothing to hide. When attacked by predators, their conspicuous bioluminescence is thought to draw attention to their assailants. Larger predators catch notice, eating the dinoflagellate's attackers and decreasing the chance that the entire colony will become fish food. Image: AMNHD. Finnin

The research is in: college football is starkly linked to fan violence and anti-social behavior, per this January 2008 research paper out of the University of Colorado. The authors — economists Dan Rees and Kevin Schnepel — write: "Our results suggest that the host community registers sharp increases in assaults on game days. In addition, there is evidence that vandalism, arrests for disorderly conduct, and alcohol-related arrests increase on game day."
This is a detailed, 42-page analysis of crime data and college football.
Hello, New Brunswick, ready for a rumble? You had better be. Where there is big-time college football, there are sharp spikes in crime, simple as that. Drunken, rowdy, criminally-minded fans rampaging through city streets are an inevitable by-product of big-time football. Sounds extreme?
Wharton School professor Justin Wolfers, writing about the research in the New York Times, says: "the study is quite convincing. It is worth noting that these results occur despite the fact that the football programs they analyze ban the sale of alcohol in the stadium."
Hear an interview with the researchers here. Look on the site for the audio icon.
The results reported in this research are frightening. For instance, on game days with an upset loss, assaults increased 112%, per the researchers.
Write the authors: "our results indicate that college football games lead to increased arrests for alcohol-related offenses and disorderly conduct (the Group B offenses). Home games are associated with a 13 percent increase in arrests for drunk driving, a 41 percent increase in arrests for disorderly conduct, and a 76 percent increase in arrests for liquor law violations."
Here are charts that make all the violence associated with college football vivid.
The data in this groundbreaking paper are horrifying — and they ought to be ample to sober up Old Queens and get the administration off its jock-sniffing bender.

"Paperman" by Disneyanimation
Just in time for the Valentines season, Disney has released this romantic Oscar-nominated short entitled Paperman. The short uses an experimental blend of hand-drawn and CGI animation techniques to tell the story of a man and a woman who meet by chance on their morning commute. They part ways before they have a chance to speak, but when he sees her in the office right across the street from his, he spends the rest of the day attempting to reconnect.
"Introducing a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with the Oscar®-nominated short, "Paperman." Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, "Paperman" pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction."

Christmas in Pittsburgh
Living in the Pittsburgh area, Christmas celebrations are a blend of many different ethnicities. During the days before Christmas there is a Peoples Gas Holiday Market in the downtown area, which is patterned after the Christkindlemarkt created in 1545 in Nuremberg, Germany, and the Christkindlmarket in Chicago, Illinois.
The city is also lucky enough to have a replica of the Vatican's Crèche, which is built in St. Peter's Square in Rome every year. It is a larger-than-life replica, and it is beautiful. The Herbal Husband and I visited several years ago. It has become a popular tradition for many families to visit this attraction every season. I wanted you to see the Crèche at night. I found a beautiful photo taken by Dr. Dennis Woytek, an assistant professor of Journalism and Multimedia Arts at Duquesne University. Dr. Woytek has a blog, The Woytek Blog, talking about his travels and this Crèche. If you are in the Pittsburgh area, the Crèche is a not-to-be-missed Christmas experience.
Be sure to visit the Pittsburgh Creche at night, when it is at its most beautiful. Photos Courtesy Dr. Dennis Woytek, The Woytek Blog.
My Favorite Christmas Herb Books
This time of year, two of my favorite herbal authors are Adelma Grenier Simmons and Bertha Reppert. Simmons wrote a number of herbal books, but one of my favorites is A Merry Christmas Herbal, which was published in 1968. Simmons considered Christmas to be a season all by itself. In another one of her books, Herb Gardening in Five Seasons, at Caprilands (her famous herb farm) they celebrated Christmas from St. Nicholas Day, December 6, to Twelfth Night, January 6, extending the season.
Find Simmons' books at BookFinder.com.
These are two of my favorite herb books by Adelma Grenier Simmons. Photo By Nancy Heraud.
Reppert was also prolific in her herbal works. She compiled a series of scrapbooks, one of which is about Christmas. Bertha Reppert's Herbal Scrapbook #2 was created in 1987 and it is jam-packed with all kinds of recipes and ideas for Christmas. In it she writes "The magic of herbs will guarantee you an unforgettable holiday with memories to treasure."
I couldn't agree more.
Find Reppert's books at The Rosemary House & Gardens and BookFinder.com.

Christmas Herbs
Speaking of herbs and Christmastime, here are some herbal legends associated with Christmas and the manger. These first three herbs were known animal insecticides that helped to protect the animals and—as it turned out—the Holy Family while staying in the stable.
Bedstraw was in the stable along with hay the night Christ child was born. Bedstraw bloomed with white flowers and no fragrance. After the birth, the flowers were turned to gold and there was a heavenly fragrance.
Pennyroyal was used by Joseph for the manger because of its minty scent, not for its blossoms. Once the baby was born, it bloomed beautiful purple blossoms ever after for the King of Kings.
Thyme was another herb used in the manger because it gave the manger a sweet, clean scent. It was also a symbol of bravery.
Rosemary is well-known as the Christmas herb. My favorite story of rosemary says that while Mary rested in a grove of rosemary bushes during her flight to Egypt, she laid her cloak out to dry on a white blooming rosemary bush, and her cloak turned the flowers blue.
My potted rosemary has produced some beautiful blue blooms this year. Photo By Nancy Heraud.
Herb Christmas Craft
In the early days of my blog (Lemon Verbena Lady's Herb Garden) I wrote about one of my favorite herbal crafts that can decorate during any time of year, but especially at Christmas—"Angels from Nature." If you are looking for a quick herbal craft before the holidays, and you have extra dried herbs and flowers, this would be a fun project for you and your kids or grandkids to do together.

WASHINGTON (AP) — To prepare for his biggest test yet on the national stage, untested debater Paul Ryan has been hauling two thick briefing books around the country and intently studying up on Vice President Joe Biden, who has been sparring over public policy since the Wisconsin congressman was learning how to talk.
Ryan, the 42-year-old Republican vice presidential nominee, has suggested his youth will be an asset in connecting with voters at the sole vice presidential debate Thursday in Kentucky against the 69-year-old former senator. But risks abound for the GOP rising star, who hasn't participated in a campaign debate since his first run for office 14 years ago.
The main goal for Ryan's inner-circle: get him comfortable answering questions in broad terms that connect with voters and avoid the wonky, in-the-weeds answers more appropriate for a budget hearing than a living room.
Ryan's team wants to keep him talking about positive changes a Romney-Ryan administration would mean for the country, not a full-throated defense of the campaign's sometimes nebulous math.
As the House Republicans' top budget writer, aides say Ryan is confident he can handle questions about federal spending and taxes. He is a bit more nervous on international affairs — and for good reason. Ryan was thrust into the national spotlight a few months ago when he joined the Republican ticket but has limited exposure in that arena.
Biden is a former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a skilled debater, both within the administration and against its critics, and someone whose opinion President Barack Obama seeks out on major decisions.
Ryan also is bracing for Biden to try to help Obama overcome a rough patch by staking out an aggressive tone.
"I really think that because they had such a bad debate that Joe is just going to come flying at us," Ryan said this week.
His biggest worry: looking unprepared the way his mentor and former boss, Jack Kemp, did in the 1996 debate against Vice President Al Gore.
Ryan has spent hours huddling with advisers to polish his delivery and has been cramming with aides to sharpen his grasp of foreign policy and national security issues. As they prepared in Virginia's mountains about 150 miles from Washington, Ryan focused on trying to shoehorn knowledge gained from seven terms in the House into two-minute answers. He has watched video of Biden's 2008 vice presidential debate and recent campaign appearances. He knows Biden's cadences and verbal ticks, including the signature "ladies and gentlemen" and punchy "folks" to get the audience's attention.
Ryan also has spent time working on trying to keep Biden from cutting him off, talking over him or throwing a wrench into his rehearsed answers. During practice debates, his stand-in for Biden, former Solicitor General Ted Olson, has been aggressive in trying to throw Ryan off his game.
Above all else, aides tell Ryan to avoid specific numbers.
"He's learning how to debate," said Michael Steel, Ryan's traveling spokesman who was a top aide to House Speaker John Boehner. "It's not about learning policy. ... It's about learning how to debate at this level."
Ryan and his aides also are trying to play up the vice president's skills and perhaps set unrealistic expectations for Biden, who is doing his own cram sessions in Delaware before the meeting in Danville, Ky.
"Joe Biden's been doing this for 40 years," Ryan told WTMJ-AM radio in Milwaukee. "I mean, the man ran for president twice, he's the sitting vice president. And this is my first time on this kind of stage. So sure, there's a lot of pressure."
He later seemed to suggest that his youth gave him the upper hand.
"I've been in Congress 14 years. I'm a younger person. I'm next generation," he told WTOL in Toledo, Ohio. "I'm in my 40s. Joe Biden is in his 60s. I'm used to debating people in Joe's generation in Congress."
Ryan aides note that more people watched Biden's 2008 debate against then-Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee, than any of Obama's debates against Republican John McCain. But that was as much about Palin's celebrity and curiosity about her and not the weight of the vice presidents' roles.
This time, Republicans have nominated a wonk who is a walking collection of think tank studies — not a first-term governor from Alaska like Palin.
Ryan and Olson practiced three times before heading into more intense sessions in the Virginia mountains. They wore suits and ties and dined on room service in Washington hotels for two sessions, then donned plaid shirts and ate Jimmy Johns sandwiches at the other session in Ryan's hometown of Janesville, Wis.
In Virginia, they simulated the debate setting, in which Biden and Ryan will be seated.
Kerry Healey, who was Romney's lieutenant when he was governor of Massachusetts and now advises him on foreign policy, stood in for debate moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC News and even channeled the newswoman's speaking style.
Ryan has tried to keep the number of advisers in the room with him to fewer than 10. From time to time, Romney aides from the Boston campaign headquarters joined the preparations, including strategist Russ Schriefer, longtime loyalist Beth Myers and conservative liaison Peter Flaherty. Foreign policy hand Dan Senor also has been helping Ryan.
Ryan hasn't debated since his first run for Congress — in 1998 at age 28.

I think I'd prefer to focus on a stronger stock than Baidu (BIDU) today. Even though I did give you a heads-up on that one in CC, I think we should discuss Amazon (AMZN) first. If we look at a weekly chart of this stock you can see that so far we are holding on top of a key support decision with the recent low being made at the 218.18.
First if we can continue to hold above this recent low, the upside POTENTIAL (in a perfect world) comes in way above the market at the 276 handle. Even if we only see a corrective rally back to the recent highs, there is still a decent upside potential.
So far, we have seen some initial buy triggers against the recent low via a 30-minute chart. I have illustrated the initial trigger on the 30-minute chart below. There is a pretty important hurdle on the daily chart however that AMZN needs to clear if this rally is going to continue in earnest. Let's take a look at that decision on the daily chart next.
I use 100% projections of prior swing in all the markets I analyze every day. These are also known as symmetry projections as I like to call them, or measured moves as other analysts might.
In the case of AMZN I'm watching a hurdle on the way up where the most important component of this hurdle is the 100% projection of the prior largest rally seen on this chart since the Sept. 14 high was made. This prior largest rally swing lasted $15.79. The current rally from the Nov. 15 low has been $15.64 as of the close Tuesday.
The hurdle I'm watching comes in at the 233.97 to 235.73 area. It includes the 100% projection of the prior rally swing of $15.79 along with a few Fibonacci price retracements of prior swings that overlap this projection.
I am already willing to trade the buy-side of AMZN with the buy triggers that have fired off so far, but a rally beyond this key upside hurdle will suggest that purchases will be a higher probability bet if we can surpass this zone. If we are unable to clear it, I would have to tighten up stops on any longs as there will be a chance for a failure at this same zone.
Let's see what AMZN does around this key decision and then trade accordingly! To fail or not to fail, that is the question I am waiting for the market to answer!

Follow the Flight Plan
This story appears in the January 2002 issue of Entrepreneurs Start-Ups magazine. Subscribe »
I am a chicken. Which is why I sorely needed a second application of deodorant after my editor asked me to try sitting behind the controls of a single-engine propeller airplane. She pretended she wanted me to look into a growing trend-entrepreneurs learning how to fly-but I think I must've done something to make her angry.
Business books have argued for years that if you can glide high above the clouds, you can soar over your competition (see "In-Flight Reading," right). And the nonprofit organization Be a Pilotis offering an introductory flight lesson for $49 as part of the vigorous campaign it has undertaken to interest entrepreneurs in flight training.
|Not ready for the cockpit? Learn the lessons without leaving the ground with these books:
But does a flying regimen really sharpen your entrepreneurial acumen? James D. Murphy thinks so. Not surprising-after all, he is the author of Business Is Combat (Regan Books), and his Atlanta-based company, Afterburner Seminars, has trained top management from such companies as Home Depot and FedEx on how to think like a fighter pilot. "In order to be successful [in business]," he told me, "you have to change, and change rapidly, and that's one thing that a fighter pilot is able to do extremely well. One minute you're flying along over a hot desert floor doing Mach One, which is 728 miles per hour when you're at sea level. Twenty seconds later, you're rolling inverted over a 12,000-foot mountain, then dodging a thunderstorm." Mommy!
But Gary Beckett at Be a Pilot promised that I wouldn't fly upside down and assured me that my co-pilot had his own set of controls. And in a vote of confidence toward me and my co-pilot (think young; think Doogie Howser), Beckett decided to accompany us in our Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
I have to admit, flying with your wits and without the beverage cart was exciting. I can even start to understand why entrepreneurs like Allen Warner, 48, CEO of Perma-Tech, are hooked. Warner, whose company provides spray-on linings for pickup truck beds, flies about 10 hours every week, either bringing clients to his company or jetting out to see them. He estimates he's seen a 25 percent increase in sales since he got his license in 2000. "I can't tell you how many times I've been over a traffic jam and thought, 'I'm glad I'm here and not there,' " he marvels.
I marveled, too, and my confidence has climbed. But I don't see myself going beyond being a passenger. I am a chicken. And we all know chickens don't fly.

People who become severely anxious in social situations often swear that the blush itself is the source of their problems, not a symptom...[but] a blush is far more than a stigmata of embarrassment. It is a crucial signal in social interactions — one that functions more often to smooth over betrayals and blunders than to amplify them.That's because a blush signals that you care about the relationship between you and the people with whom you're interacting, say the researchers. At the same time, however, some experts quoted in the article note that, for those with social anxiety, blushing becomes a distraction and may amplify feelings of embarrassment. (And, as you can read in the related posts below, blushes can be a symptom of social anxiety.) For speakers, it's important to analyze how you're feeling and what's happening when you blush while speaking, to determine whether it's a symptom of a larger problem or a momentary blunder.

Pocan's husband issued congressional ID
First time Congress acknowledges same-sex marriage of a lawmaker
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives for the first time recognized a same-sex marriage of a lawmaker by issuing U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan's husband a congressional ID Friday.
According to statement from Pocan, the identification is only issued to spouses of federal lawmakers.
A congressional ID was issued once before in 2009 to the same-sex partner of another representative, but the representative was later notified it had been issued in error and he should have instead received a designee ID specified for unmarried partners of Congress members.
Pocan and Philip Frank married in Canada in 2006. Their marriage is not recognized by the federal government under the Defense of Marriage Act. Frank has carried the designee ID until it was recently replaced with the congressional ID.
Pocan said in the statement the I.D. is symbolic in meaning, and Frank still doesn't receive spousal benefits awarded to other congressional husbands or wives.

Entrepreneurial Business Law Clinic students take home prizes in business competition
Students from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law took top awards in a business project competition hosted by the Fisher College of Business this fall.
3Ls Nickolas Davidson and David Hodapp, students in the Entrepreneurial Business Law Clinic at Moritz, were among the more than 100 students who competed in ProjectOne, a project-based learning competition sponsored by Huntington Bank.
ProjectOne is a large development or implementation-level engagement sold to a major company with "brand name" recognition. The engagement is typically split into several smaller projects, and Project Team Consultants are organized into teams of four to six that work throughout the autumn semester on those small projects. At the end of the semester, the teams compete to sell the client on which ideas have the most impact and are implementable. Teams present their proposals in 25-minute sessions that are followed by a question-and-answer period. Judging was conducted by three Ohio State faculty members, including Moritz's own Assistant Clinical Professor of Law Charles Lee Thomason, and senior executives from Huntington.
Hodapp was voted Best Presenter in the competition from 36 students in one of three project tracks. Davidson's team, which included 2L Ryan Harmanis, was judged the top team in its project competition. The team prize will be a lunch with a few members of senior management at Huntington in their executive dining hall.

LA Fitness, Irvine, CA, announced Monday that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets for the remaining Lifestyle Family Fitness clubs in Florida.
The acquisition, if and when it closes, will result in the extinction of Lifestyle Family Fitness, which last year sold nine clubs to Life Time Fitness, Chanhassen, MN, and closed several other clubs.
Terms of the deal between LA Fitness and St. Petersburg, FL-based Lifestyle Family Fitness were not disclosed. The transaction is subject to various closing conditions. Sources told Club Industry in recent days that LA Fitness has been working out agreements as to which clubs to operate and which clubs to close.
"While the parties are hopeful that the transaction will be completed within the next several weeks, there can be no assurance as to when or whether a closing will occur," LA Fitness said in a statement.
Lifestyle Family Fitness has 33 clubs in operation in Florida. It had 55 clubs prior to last November's Life Time deal, terms of which were not disclosed. In addition to the nine clubs sold to Life Time (two each in Indianapolis, and Columbus, OH, and five in North Carolina), Lifestyle got out of the Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina markets entirely. It closed six clubs in Ohio, two in Indianapolis and one in North Carolina, while selling the remaining two Ohio clubs to its founder, Geoff Dyer. Lifestyle later closed two more clubs in Florida.
Stuart Lasher, chairman and CEO of Lifestyle Family Fitness, confirmed news of the agreement Monday in a letter to employees obtained by Club Industry.
"In the months that followed [the exiting of the northern markets], we evaluated our option to remain an independent company or sell to a larger organization," Lasher wrote in the letter. "We took into consideration what would be in the best [interest] for all three constituents: our team members, members and shareholders. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors has made the decision to sell all of the Lifestyle Family Fitness clubs in Florida to LA Fitness."
This is the second major acquisition for LA Fitness in the past seven months. Last November, LA Fitness acquired 171 Bally Total Fitness clubs for $153 million. That transaction was announced three days after the Lifestyle-Life Time announcement.
After Lifestyle opened its first club in 1982 in Lakeland, FL, Lifestyle doubled in size in 1991, then doubled again in 1995. From 2000 to 2007, Lifestyle grew from seven clubs to 40 clubs and from $12 million to $100 million in revenue. In 2005, Lifestyle purchased eight of the former California Fitness Centers in Columbus, OH, from Ray Wilson and Greg Rowe.
Lifestyle was No. 10 on Club Industry'sTop 100 Clubs list last year with a reported $102.4 million in 2010 revenue, a 3 percent decrease from the previous year.
LA Fitness was No. 2 on last year's Top 100 Clubs list with an estimated $1 billion in 2010 revenue.

Hello! I've been asked by The Anti Room to contribute a number of pieces over the coming months to offer a different voice and perspective on issues than might otherwise be found here. As a fairly recent convert to Twitter, and social media in general, I'm glad to do it, and, being interested in other perspectives myself, I'm looking forward to some robust debate!
To start I've been asked to reflect and respond to the general furore surrounding the accusations of sexism made against Richard Keys and Andy Gray of Sky Sports. Because a furore it has been. Column inches have turned into yards and on into miles. Calling it a storm in the teacup would be an understatement. Storm in a thimble, possibly. First of all let me declare I'm not a football fan. I don't know the game; indeed I rarely watch it outside of World Cups (on the rare occasion when Ireland make it through!). And I wouldn't know Ryan Giggs if he jogged past me on the street. But from my perspective, the media reaction over the past few days has been akin to a medieval witch-hunt. Quite clearly (to me anyway) a liberal media consensus has emerged with commentators hell-bent on ramming a feminist agenda down the throats of the public by punishing and humiliating two men who were simply caught off-guard in a moment of professional privacy. What was simply an instance of harmless male banter, the type one hears day-in day-out on building sites, offices and even houses of parliament, has somehow been upgraded to the status of a sexual assault.
Now don't get me wrong, suggesting that Sian Massey can't understand the offside rule because she's a woman is clearly going to be insulting to a girl who tries very hard at her job. But how is the public interest being really served by the sort of affirmative action which results in these women being "promoted" to major roles in what is essentially a male realm? Do feminists want or need traction in every aspect of male society? If we are to believe, for example, that women should run and own clubs and even officiate at the games then why not take that thought process to its logical conclusion? Let's see if women can play in the darned things! Of course nobody cares to mention this great big elephant in the room – you won't see "Tina Down The Street" take on John Terry or Robbie Keane because of physiological reasons that go back to the very creation of the universe! Anybody who thinks otherwise is clearly living in Cloud Cuckoo Land – and let you tell me it's getting very crowded there.
But I digress. Events like football matches have a proven sociological benefit – everyday, male aggression, which might otherwise emerge in more sinister forms like war and rape, can be expelled in the den of a stadium or in the cut-and-thrust of watching your favourite team on TV. This healthy, primordial urge harks right back to hunter-gathers and should not be denied in the name of some feminist liberal ideology. Men have a right to this private, albeit very public, space. I only wish our media would spend more time focusing on the real moral crisis in football culture: young men stuck in pubs all weekend; rampant hooliganism; the sex and pornography permeating TV advertising; not to mention extolling "role-models" like Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole – two philanderers who clearly don't understand the real Offside Rule!
Oh, and speaking of which – my husband must have tried explaining the Offside Rule to me ten times over the years and guess what? Nope, cannot get my head around it! And I'm University educated! Something tells me that if you gathered together most regular Anti Room contributors or indeed any random female focus group to watch a game, many of them wouldn't get it either, and let's be honest, simply wouldn't care. Richard Keys mentioned "dark forces" at work in the leaking of the offending clips to the media. In this instance, I must most forcefully agree.
God bless,
Attracta McCarthy-McKenna

6-17-09 Progressive Field
I checked the weather forecast in the morning and saw that there was a 15% chance of rain between 3-5 PM. Good enough for me. I went to Cleveland.
There was some rain that I ran into on the way there, but when I got to Cleveland, the streets were dry. Apparently it had rained a few hours before. Surely there would be batting practice.
Wrong. I saw this on my way to the ticket window.
It was about 4 PM, and I could see that there were some Brewers in the outfield in tshirts and shorts. Should I still buy a ticket?
I figured that I might as well. I went and stood in line while the bright sun shone down. Surely they'd take the tarp off.
The tarp stayed on. I listened to the gate worker talk about how there was a 90% chance the game would be canceled due to thunderstorms, and that it would be made up tomorrow. I thought about just going home.
I had a build a pretty nice streak of games with at least one ball, dating back to August 2008, and I didn't want to lose it. But I figured I'd put it on the line.
When the gates opened, I ran in. There were no other ballhawks here today. Just a few old ladies and a couple little kids in line. I looked for Easter Eggs. I figured maybe a coach was hitting fly balls before the stadium opened, and maybe one went into the stands.
I looked for a few minutes before finally finding a soaked ball in the front row by the bullpen. How did this get here? Maybe it was from the night before or earlier this morning? No matter, I was on the board with ball #1.
A few seconds after I picked up ball #1, a teenager appeared from beneath the bullpen roof and rolled ball #2 across the roof to me. Totally unasked for, but definitely appreciated.
It helped that the stadium looked like this.
Since the stadium was so empty, when the Progressive Insurance car shot
off its Tshirt and Scarf around 4:45, I was able to get both of them.
They were pretty nice. No annoying ads on them.
I got my final ball of the day at 4:47. It came from a kid maybe 8-10 years old wearing a "Willis 51" jersey. He was the pitching coach's son, I think. The teenager in the picture is the kid who threw me ball #2.
A ball had gotten away from one of the Brewers' pitchers and they left it in center field after they went inside. When the Willis brothers were coming out of the bullpen, I asked for the ball. They threw me the ball they were using and kept the ball that was in center field. No problem. It was ball #4.
I stayed until about 6:30, and the tarp stayed on the field the entire time. I decided to leave, because I had a trip planned to go to Baltimore the next day.
The game ended up being delayed 49 minutes. On the way home, I faced mother nature's fury, a trifecta of lightning, hail, and tornados. It was bad.
Today's baseballs:
And the sweet spots:
Game: 4 Balls (4 thrown) – (the EE had to have been thrown into the stands since there was no BP)
Season: 192 Balls (94 hit, 71 thrown, 27 device)
Games: 37 Games (5 of which didn't have BP)
Average: 5.19 Balls per Game
Career: 358 Balls
Attendance: 15,269

The market is bouncing around a bit on mixed economic reports, but the big event will be Speaker Boehner's press conference at 1:15 p.m. EST. I'm concerned if there isn't some hint of movement by either side that the market will worry that no deal will get done by year's end. There just won't be enough time left with the holidays upon us.
This uncertainty is reflected in very dull trading this morning. There are a few takeover plays on the gainers list, but trading is very slow overall. Breadth on the Nasdaq is weak while the NYSE is still doing well due mainly to strength in financials. Big-cap tech stocks are mostly red while gold and silver are breaking down badly. Retail and chips are also relatively weak, and there is no real theme of interest.
I'm playing a couple of small-cap junk stocks intraday, and I'm even bored enough to try to catch a short-squeeze bounce in Herbalife (HLF). TASER International (TASR), which I mentioned Monday, is shaping up nicely and should see momentum interest above $8.50.

The progress of a civilization has meant the reduction of employment, not its increase.
It is because we have become increasingly wealthy as a nation that we have been able virtually to eliminate child labor, to remove the necessity of work for many of the aged and to make it unnecessary for millions of women to take jobs.
Politicians are always asking, "How do we legislate to have Full Employment in the next ten years?" Wrong question. The real question is not how many millions of jobs will there will be ten years from now, but how much shall we produce, and what, in consequence, will be our standard of living? The problem of distribution, on which all the stress is being put today, is after all more easily solved the more there is to distribute.
Focus on maximizing production; employment will follow.
— Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

German for students
The teaching language at universities in Stuttgart is mainly German. You therefore need good knowledge of the German language to be able to study. However, German is also useful fur students on international programmes because everyday life is easier when you speak the local language.
You have to submit a certificate providing evidence that you have an adequate command of the German language if you want to enrol on a German-speaking course. It is different on international study programmes where most lessons are taught in English. In any case, it is good to be able to speak German. You will find friends more quickly, settle in easier and have better opportunities in the employment market.
As each university and course has different requirements in terms of your knowledge of the German language and may only accept certain certificates, you should contact the university or institution directly.
You can find further information about German tests to allow you to study at universities on the following websites:

The true foundations of Zionism were not Theodore Herzl, its first ideologue, nor Chaim Weizmann, the first president, nor even David Grün, last name later changed to Ben-Gurion, the first prime minister of the Zionist state of Israel.
The spirit, soul and body of this ideological malformation belongs to the European anti-Semite Phantom, the Nasty Golem Ghost of late nineteenth-century European conspiracy theories and hard right-wing politics.
This anti-Semite Chimera of conspiracies and false-conservatism has no symbolic image – but there is one easily recognizable face to that ideological farce – the hate filled, mass murderer, Adolf Hitler.
No student of History can understand Zionism without studying its ideological origins, which undoubtedly came first, and which harnessed the energy and impetus to the Zionist cause – anti-Semitism.
We begin our story of Zionism, not with its official lies, but with its true progenitors, the anti-Semitic European conspiracy cult. How did such a small percentage of Europe's population arouse such suspicions and ire?
The first reason was their small overall population, and yet their over-representation within certain professions, namely, the occupations related to money handling, money speculations and money lending. Karl Marx referred to that strange association in his On the Jewish Question. After the First International, Germany's Social Democrat Party referred to the Anti-Semitic conspiracy cult as the Socialism of Fools.
The German Socialists were correct on that point, yet that conspiracy of fools delved even deeper into late nineteenth-century European political culture. The propagators of the cult were not historians, so they failed to understand the Jewish dilemma that always demanded some basic survival, generally held hostage under the medieval tyranny of European Christendom.
During those long and slow medieval epochs, the luckier Jews lived inside the Islamic lands. They had their own urban sections, and at the same time, they lived in complete physical security. They rarely received any violent outrages from a mob of religious fanatics. The caliphs and sultans always protected the Jewish communities, unless they made secret alliances with the Christians. And like the Christians, the Jews paid a jizya tax to the authorities. Jewish culture greatly thrived in the Muslim lands of Spain, North Africa, Egypt, the Levant, and in the Fertile Crescent.
Within the Europeans lands of Christendom, this was not the case. The Jews were unsettled hostages at the mercy of the changeable wills coming from royal or ducal tyrants. They lived in their own ghettos with large walls and heavily locked gates, and the laws were extreme in what the Jews could perform for economic survival.
They could not own great landed properties like the parasitical aristocratic knights-lords. There were a few exceptions, but most Jews had to live within the urban ghetto walls, return by nightfall, wear distinctive clothing, and most professions maintained prohibitions against them.
Jews could not practice any of the artisan trades, nor could they set up their own guilds. The Christian rulers severely prohibited Jews in carrying weapons, learning how to use them, or even allow the manufacture of arms for their own defense. There were only two recourses for Jewish men: money exchanging-merchant selling, or studying Torah, the Law, the Holy Scriptures, Tanakh, and various associated writings, such as the Talmud, for eventual work as a Rabbi. There were only so many Rabbis and assistants at the local Synagogue, so many Jewish males had to enter the cutthroat world of market street selling, money-precious stone-metal exchanges, or just lending money with interest to Christian deadbeats.
The Christian authorities actually liked the Jews because they could always demand protection monies as leverage against them before starting one of their endless wars. The Christian rulers called the local Rabbi to the court and gave the orders. Yet, what if the ruler was a dishonorable fiend – which was often the case in European history? Then, the expulsions suddenly commenced, and the Jews had to abandon their little worlds, leave their few possessions behind, and find a new home inside of a hostile continent. Forcibly moving to another culture in our world is pretty traumatic – imagine what the poor Jewish families had to endure during the Middle Ages?
A partial list of the Jewish Expulsions is quite shocking: Bavaria (1276), England (1290), France (1306), Switzerland (1348), Hungary (1349), Alsace (1388), around the Holy Roman Empire and France (1394), Austria (1422), etcetera and etcetera. All throughout Europe, and mostly in Roman Catholic countries, the Jewish ghettos had to endure mass expulsions, crazed Christian monks leading violent mob attacks against Jews, legal state murders of suspected Jewish evildoers, Jewish show trials, heinous tortures against accused Jews, and during the Holy Crusades, the mass murder of entire communities in the provinces of the Germanic Holy Roman Empire!
In 1492 Spain, the Catholic Monarchs ordered all the Jews to leave their reins – or forcibly convert to Catholicism. The Jews that converted became Nuevos Cristianos, or New Christians. A new racial code ruled that New Christians had tainted blood, so Jews still faced obstacles in escaping the merchant-money hoarding-lending traps. Due to the continual suspicions revolving around such New Christians, the Holy Inquisition began to persecute the lying Christians-secret Jews, also called Conversos, or The Converts. In the late 1480s and the next decades, southern Spanish cities in Andalucía saw thousands of Conversos publicly burned alive tied to wooden stakes.
Modern anti-Semitism's putrid roots emanated from the dark dungeons of Medieval Christianity. How did the anti-Semitic ideology change during the nineteenth-century, or the late 1800s?
During the late 1700s, with the ideological ascendance of the so-called, Enlightenment, the Illustration, and its subsequent ideology of Liberalism, royal authority began to slowly open the professions and the arts to their Jewish communities. This had the name of Haskallah in Hebrew. This movement of openness mostly took place in western and central Europe, and in the large cities of the Russian Empire. The Jews transformed into the loyal subjects of Empire.
In Poland-Lithuania, the once great Empire of the East, the royal throne had previously allowed many expelled Jews to settle in their domains as a type of state within a state. Jews often became Jewish merchants, landlords, store owners, and revenue collectors for the Polish-Lithuanian aristo-parasite class against the mass of peasant-farmers.
Inside of this Empire, some cities were almost entirely Jewish, such as Lodz, and there were hundreds of small Jewish cities, called shetls, ruled socially through the iron fist of rabbis. They even had the rights to practice Toranic Jewish law, such as the legal murder of rebellious sons and daughters! Within this European paradise of Judaism, they spoke their own language, a mixture of pidgin Hebrew with German vocabulary, later referred to as Yiddish.
As many European universities secularized their studies and opened their doors to Jews, the emancipated Ashkenazi Jews, or the Europeanized Secular Jews, began to attend in droves. The Jews had become the first Super-Modern Europeans. What pushed the Jews to flood the European intellectual-artistic world?
Unlike other European traditions of oral poetry and song, the Jews, from their medieval origins, possessed the first dibs in modern literary reading. Out of Europe's pagan pasts, bards, songsters, prophets and seers sang the old ballads and epics of great kings, heroes, legends and myths. The sacred message gained power through the memorization of words, vocal cadences and rhythms. Some of the great, ancient bards were illiterate. Their ancient forms were similar to our contemporary, street hip-hop performers.
For the Jews, the sacred message wasn't just inside the oral recitations of the Psalms and Prophets, called Ketuvim and Nevi'im respectively. The Jewish students had to study, almost eat, and in a very real sense, interpret the meanings surrounding the words and their even deeper grammatical messages.
This was the same method of reading and interpreting used in European university studies. The secular, emancipated Ashkenazi Jews entered the higher arts with distinct cultural advantages. Europe's older culture of Royalty-Medieval Legend-Nobility-Folk Mythology-Church-Hierarchy-Social Order began to take notice.
Not only were Jews involved in their older professions of money lending, banking, venture capitalism, and money speculation, or as Hitler in Mein Kampf wrote about them, stock market jobbers. But Jews also entered the modern professions of Journalism, Healthcare, Law-Politics, the Arts, Engineering-Applied Sciences and even became University Scholars! The Emancipated Jew transformed into the ultimate sophisticated citizen-consumer of European High Culture. Some Europeans became Philosemites. One such member was President Howard Taft of the United States in the early 20th century.
There were other ideologies that moved freely within Europe, such as the anti-establishment philosophies of Socialism, Communism, Anarchism, Revolutionary Societies and Leftism. A few Jewish intellectuals were also active in those movements. These radical movements demanded the complete overthrow of the Old European Order.
The Anti-Semites also noticed the preponderance of Jews in those radical movements, yet the Jews seemed to have garnered a great amount of cultural capital in Europe through Journalism and the Arts – and still, some Jews successfully managed the business of making money. The European Old Order was dying, and yet, the secular Ashkenazi Jew was fully active in the public realm?
By the beginning of the twentieth-century, many Ashkenazi Jews had been living as Jews in name only. They looked, acted, thought, and behaved like their fellow Europeans. Their first languages were their mother European tongues.
But there was something different about the modern, emancipated Jew. Another ideological concoction found the answers to the Jewish mystery. They called themselves The Zionists. According to them, every Jew, whether secular or religious, was a walking time bomb of potential treason within the soul of Europe.
Zionism simply translated the concerns of the Anti-Semites into a Jewish-Nationalist-Tribalism Fiction. The Jews were not just the descendants of a secularized religion.
Unbeknownst to the secularized, cosmopolitan, Modern Jew – they were actually a race, just like the English, French, Germans and Russians. According to the Zionist racial experts, the tribal Jews could not help their strange and contradictory behaviors – they were just another race living within greater European races. No matter how hard they tried to assimilate – the Eternal Jew would emerge and unconsciously act against the host nation.
While Russian Anti-semitism moved into its state-sanctioned murders, called Pogroms, against the Jewish communities in the Pale of Settlement, modern Poland-Galicia-Ukraine regions, the Zionists actually met with the nefarious leaders of such mass murder at the Russian Czar's court! The Zionists have always agreed, and still agree, with the conspiracy rants of Anti-semites.
While the Nazi Germanic Empire engaged in its own Final Solution to the Jewish Problem, the Zionists immediately set up their clandestine cult of terrorist cells within the British Mandate of Palestine in order to facilitate the coming Forced Removal of the non-Jewish Palestinians. The British colonial authorities collaborated with the Zionists through permitting a legal land theft movement against the autoctonous Palestinian communities.
The Zionists did not want just any Jew escaping the Nazi Regime of mass murder. They only wanted young, healthy, tough Ashkenazi Jews and preferably German ones, who were secular and non-religious. The Zionists did not want anything to do with the effete, artsy intellectuals from Paris and London, nor the Torah adhering embarrassments from the Eastern European shtetls who the Nazis would soon exterminate en masse. However, the Zionists did enjoy receiving monies from the hated, wealthy Jewish bourgeoisie.
After the Holocaust against European Jewry, the Zionists realized their chance to steal power at the end of the British Colonial Mandate in Palestine. In 1948, the Zionist armies used the Fascists tactics of state terror.
Zionist armies would invade a village, mass murder of some its Palestinian Arabs as warnings to the others, and then immediately expel the remaining Palestinians completely from the new land of Eretz Yisrael, or the State of Israel. Whole towns lost their Palestinian populations, and so the Zionists renamed them and gave them new Hebrew identities. The whole kibbutz, 'back to the land' movement was a part of this scheme. In older historic cities, the Zionists allowed small Palestinian ghettos to survive, such as Haifa, Jaffa and Jerusalem.
The irony of ironies, the city of the birthplace of Christ, Nazareth, has still maintained a large Palestinian community. Now most Palestinians barely survive in the ghetto-concentration camps of Gaza, in brutalized settlements around the 'West Bank,' or in the other refugee camps across the occupied territories, southern Lebanon, southern Syria and western Jordan. Thousands of other Palestinians live scattered across the world diaspora.
The Zionist movement now occupying ancient Palestine has not only redirected the old Anti-Semite libels as its source for ideology – it has even copied the same modus operandi of the Anti-semitic Fascists.
The heinous methods of the Zionists have included, ghettoization, brutal tortures and murders against political detainees, assassinations of potential leaders, and murdering-maiming those that cannot defend themselves, often children and women.
The Israeli military citadel enforces a pass-checkpoint system on the entire occupied population, public discrimination in housing, transport and in education, increased levels of hunger and illness in the Ghettos due to the occupation, mass arrests, mass public humiliations, and the summary executions of selected people that protest.
In the perverted Zionist love for Anti-semitism, and its sick brother ideology of Fascism, the Zionists have recreated a contemporary string of concentration camps for the Palestinian other. The Nazi Order only had twelve years to perfect its art of murder, the Zionists have had over sixty years.
As the Zionists perfect their Neo-Nazi methods in dealing with the Palestinian excrement, they also manipulate the history of the Nazi Regime's Holocausts, only exculpating the Jewish victims, while very few people know about the millions of Russians, White Russians, targeted Slavs, Poles, Gypsies, Serbs, intellectuals, Homosexuals, political dissidents and Jehovah Witnesses that also suffered during that war.
Zionism has successfully transformed another historical genocide into a Holocaust Religious-Ideological Movement, so they can guilt trip and harass European governments into supporting the Amerikan Empire's wars of conquest.
The Zionist ideology has now fused itself with the official Neo-Conservative American Empire ideology. Most of the Amerikan Empires' recent genocidal wars completed the Zionists' own dirty work: Iraq, Syria, Libya and Iran. The Zionists are not finished yet.
Like the First Crusade's siege of Jerusalem in 1099, where the Christian knights murdered entire Jewish and Muslim communities, the Zionists also have their master plans. They are still, and will always remain, anti-Semites and Fascists.
Zionism has meanwhile orchestrated the intensive mass media campaigns of Islamophobia, the growing hatred against all Arabs and most Asians, a type of Orientalism revival movement, as if the Zionists are the only rational peoples surrounded by an Oriental waste pool of Arab-Muslim maniacs.
Zionism has also pushed for the current refugee crisis flood into Europe, in order to cement a stronger European-Zionism alliance versus the hated non-Jewish, Asians-Arabs. The Zionists have already unleashed their own pogroms against African refugees inside occupied Palestine.
Zionism's holy nightmare is to join the European Union as a full-member of the white European club – the only non-Christian entity allowed – while snubbing its nose at the white Muslim Turks and the white Christian Russians.
Their greatest desire is a return to another round of international Jew hating, so that most secular Jews, and especially in Amerika, will get out safely and buy a one-way ticket to Tel-Aviv. The Zionists will have millions of more cannon fodder men for the Sacred Military, which is the real heart and soul of the Zionist project.
The Zionists have even set up false flag bombing attacks against Jews in Arab countries during the 1950s and 60s, such as Iraq, Egypt and Morocco, referred to as The Lavon Affair. Those false flag attacks successfully scared the Jewish communities into leaving their ancestral lands, so the men had to fight for the Zionist-Crusader state.
The Zionists do prefer the white Ashkenazi Jews to the darker Mizrahi, (Asian and African Jews), however. To the chagrin of Israeli authorities, over a million of young Israelis, yordim, have permanently escaped the life of acute paranoia and Fascism for freer lives in Europe and America.
Karl Marx in his work, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, stated that History often exposes itself the first time as tragedy, and the second time as farce… He was unfortunately right.
Our dangerous contemporary world witnesses the most unholy colonial-settler state in world history: the State of Israel, or actually, the Zio-Nazi Crusader State. This excision blended with European Colonialism, Anti-semitism, Militarism and Fascism writhes and spits its fury at all who dare to question its hatreds and paranoia.
The Zionist-Crusader State demands complete rights in committing state terrorism across the globe, with other extra-legal privileges, such as targeted international assassination, selling body parts of victims, petty drug dealing, or the counterfeiting of Anglo-colonial passports, such as Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
The Zionist State now has one of the highest standards of living in the world. They can all thank the Anglo-Zionist regime of the United States, which annually distributes billions of dollars of no strings attached welfare. Israeli youth, just out of the military, have received special tourist privileges in living inside selected Asian countries, such as Hindu India and Buddhist Thailand. Due to such an overwhelming cultural presence overseas, other European tourists had forewarned me about the Israeli ambience.
Zionism has even appropriated Palestinian food culture, claiming the Falafel fried garbanzo bean meal – as Zionism's very own dish! Whatever happened to delicious Ashkenazi food culture: kugel, gefilte fish, matzoh, Manischevitz?
The Zionist bosses constantly threaten and cajole the most dishonest of cowardly politicians across the Earth. This same ideological-institutional power united through fear, aversion and murder contains silos of nuclear weapons – always prepared to use them. It continually moves to exterminate its specially selected group of victims – the Palestinians – a people who have never persecuted Jews in world history.
In its fetid tales of threats and counter-threats, one Zionist barked out that if Israel were to go, then the capitals of Europe would die in nuclear destruction…
Maybe this is the secret nightmare of the Zionist-Anti-semite Soul that patiently awaits its sacred hour of vengeance.
We know what you Europeans did to us Jews in the past, and you were right, we are different, treacherous and ingenious, but we never forget our enemies, nor our history, and the crafty Jew will ultimately strangle you like the Monster Golem you always feared – for all Eternity… Amen

Driving rain, swirling winds and a 30-minute lightning delay shortly after kickoff threatened to put a damper on Saturday night's meeting between the New England Revolution and Charlotte Eagles, but rookie forward Zack Schilawski and second-half substitute Kenny Mansally made sure that wasn't the case. Each scored their second goal of the 2010 preseason to lead the Revs to a 2-0 victory, pushing their overall record this preseason to 2-1-0.
The slick field played a major factor in the match from start to finish, but despite the inclement weather, a crowd of more than 4,000 fans turned up to cheer on their hometown Eagles.
Schilawski scored what proved to be the game-winner in the 21st minute with a neat finish inside the box, while Mansally drove home an insurance goal in the 73rd minute following a fantastic buildup from Kheli Dube and Nico Colaluca.
Goalkeeper Preston Burpo earned the clean sheet, preserving the shutout with an acrobatic save on a looping header in the 90th minute.
Revolution captain and 2009 MLS MVP finalist Shalrie Joseph was the game's most influential player, controlling the midfield and spearheading the Revs attack until he was replaced in the 60th minute.
While the Revs maintained the majority of the possession in the early stages – both before and after the lightning delay – they didn't create a serious scoring chance until the 21st minute, when Schilawski opened the scoring. Joseph dispossessed an Eagles player in midfield and led Schilawski with a weighted pass into the left side of the box. From there, Schilawski eluded his defender with a cutback to his right foot before finishing low into the far-side netting.
Joseph was the creator again in the 35th minute, this time springing Dube into the right side of the box, but an Eagles defender managed to shoulder Dube off the ball just as he was about to release a shot.
Charlotte came inches from leveling the score shortly after the halftime break, but a 53rd-minute strike from inside the box curled just wide of the right post.
The Revolution responded with a fantastic chance of its own in the 60th minute, when Sainey Nyassi found space to unleash a drive from the top of the box. The Gambian's effort was labeled for the upper right corner, but Eagles goalkeeper Corbin Waller sprawled to tip the ball over the bar.
New England made wholesale changes after Nyassi's opportunity, bringing on Seth Sinovic, Pat Phelan, Mike Videira, Colaluca and Mansally all at once.
The changes paid dividends in the 73rd minute when a pair of those substitutes linked up to double the Revolution's lead. Colaluca began the play with a cutting through ball from the left wing, springing Dube down the middle of the field and creating a two-on-one along with Mansally. Dube went straight at the defender before laying the ball into the path of Mansally, who was charging into the left side of the box. With his first touch, Mansally blasted a low shot just inside the far post to register his second goal of the preseason.
Both Taylor Twellman (concussion) and Matt Reis (shoulder/knee surgery) were in attendance but unavailable as they continue rehabbing from long-term injuries, while Gabriel Badilla (calf), Darrius Barnes (quad), Mauricio Castro (ankle) and Edgaras Jankauskas (calf) also missed out because of injuries.
After an off day on Sunday, the Revs will conduct a pair of training sessions on Monday and Tuesday before returning to action on Wednesday, March 17, when they'll meet Duke University in a closed-door scrimmage at 9:15 a.m.
Scoring summary:
NE – Zack Schilawski (Shalrie Joseph) 21
NE – Kenny Mansally (Kheli Dube, Nico Colaluca) 73
New England Revolution (4-4-2): Preston Burpo (GK), Chris Tierney (Seth Sinovic 60), Cory Gibbs, Emmanuel Osei, Kevin Alston (Zak Boggs 56), Marko Perovic (Nico Colaluca 60), Joseph Niouky (Mike Videira 60), Shalrie Joseph © (Pat Phelan 60), Sainey Nyassi (Andres Raad 86), Kheli Dube (Gareth Williams 75), Zack Schilawski (Kenny Mansally 60)
Unused substitutes: Bobby Shuttleworth (GK), Tim Murray (GK), Khano Smith

Rabbi Hayim emphasized the role of agricultural settlements in Erets Israel and filled a leading part in its establishment. The Volozhin congregation of his time committed itself to support the Jerusalem Kehila permanently, and each year fulfilled the commitment (page 54).
"A society for the benefit of Holy Land settlements has been established in Volozhin, which is headed by Hanaziv the prominent Eyts Hayim Yeshiva head This was printed in Hamaguid Journal on December 1886 (page 56).
It happened in the middle of the 19th Century: Seven times Rabbi Avrom Hayim Marshak took his walk from Volozhin to the Holy City and seven times he returned to his hometown beaten, wounded and robbed. From his eighth journey he did not return. R' Avrom Hayim was buried on the Mount of Olives in a grave that was designated for a great Sage.(read Reb Avrom Hayim Marshak page 510)
Inside Eyts Hayim Yeshiva, at the end of the 19th century, the Zionist organizations: Hibat Zion", Ness Ziyona and Netsah Isroel were founded. Our national poet H.N. Bialik took part in the foundation of Netsah Isroel (page 120).
The Zionist organizations flourished from the beginning of the 20th Century until the outbreak of WWII. Hundreds of Volozhin youngsters were involved in activities as members or sympathizers of the many Zionist movements that grew up on the soil of the friendly Shtetl.
It began with the youngsters of Tseyirey Zion and Liberty and Revival (page 393) before and during the First World War. The Zionist organizations became bigger and more important in the nineteen twenties and thirties: Branches of Hakhaluts (page 396) and Hamizrakhi (page 405), preparation sites for Aliya in Male Berki in Rudnik and at the sawmills inside Volozhin, Nest of Beytar (page 410) and Hakhshara of Hashomer Hatsayir (page 422).
Young men and women, many of them made Aliya, and ignoring it they saved themselves from the terrible holocaust. They took part in creating Israel and contributed their energy and power enthusiastically for this purpose.
Many of them ran away from the Nazi beasts into the wood ands joined the partisans and the Red Army. Some of them survived the war and made Aliya after the victory.
But the great majority perished. They were murdered together with their parents, brothers, sisters, colleagues and friends by the Germans and their local collaborators inside Volozhin.
[Page 54]
As Rabbi Hayim planted the love of Torah study into the hearts of his fellow townsmen, so he influenced them to love Zion (Hibat Zion). Rabbi Natan Friedland, a former Yeshiva student told in one of his orations that he heard about Rabbi Hayim's saying: I'm waiting every day for the Rebetzin to knock on my door to stop my study and start to go toward the Holy Land because the Messiah has arrived.
Two messengers from Jerusalem visited Volozhin between the years 1781 and 1788, Avraham Hakohen and Hilel Mizrakhi (one of them Ashkenaz the other Sefarade). They asked the Volozhin congregation to support the Jerusalem Kehila permanently each year, because without outside sustenance it could not exist. The Volozhin congregation despite its poverty committed itself and each year fulfilled the commitment.
Rabbi Hayim filled a leading part in the establishment of a settlement of Misnagdim in Eretz Isroel. Thirty one years after many of the Baal Shem Tov's Hassidim arrived in the Holy Land a group of Hassidic opponents (Misnagdim), disciples of the Vilna Gaon with their leader R' Menahem Mendl from Shklov made aliya and settled in Jerusalem in order to strengthen the Misnagdim's (opponents to the Hassidic movement) community in the Holy Town.
Rabbi Hayim emphasized the role of agricultural settlements that should be established in Erets Israel.
[Page 56]
The activity of Volozhin Zion Lovers Khovevey Zion was reflected mostly by collecting donations for Jewish workers in Erets Israel and for the Hebrew School in Jaffa.
Hanaziv, the Yeshiva head, was considered the father of the Volozhin Khovevey Zion members.
The following announcement was printed in the Hamaguid Journal in December 1886: We have news for the readers of Hamaguid". A society for the benefit of Holy Land settlements has been established in Volozhin, which is headed by Hanaziv the prominent Eyts Hayim Yeshiva head.
This announcement preceded Hanaziv's letter which was published in Hamaguid". The Rabbi called for settling the Land of Israel, building it and planting fruit trees there. The writer Moyshe Leyb Lilienblum said that in his opinion Hanaziv's letter was worth more than articles written by dozens of journalists.
Thr preacher R' Bezalel Zadikov founded a Zionist Organization in Volozhin on 1892 (Hameylits Nov. 1893). Many Volozhin citizens influenced by Rabbi Hayim's request had made Aliya to fulfill the commandment of the building of the Land.
At the Jerusalem cemetery on the Mount of Olives tombs of many Volozhiners'were established in the years 1862-1864. The date of their Aliya is not known, but we have to assume that they lived there for many years. (See Reb Avrom Hayim Marshak VYB page 510)

Scooped: Seriously Maple Ice Cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for...
Get the Recipe
It's that time of the year when my thoughts turn to maple. And then I get a bit sad, because other than topping my waffles and sweetening my braised red cabbage, maple doesn't get the love in my kitchen that it deserves. Especially when there's so much of the good stuff at farmers' markets right now. (I like you too root veggies, but in this gloomy Snowvember you're all Deckhand Cally and maple's Lt. Valerii.*)
* I mean, who really liked Cally in BSG?
So. Maple. What else can you use it for? To start, think about the pies you're making right now: pumpkin, apple, maybe pecan? Would any of those not be improved by some maple? The thing is, you've worked hard to get that right balance of sweetness in your pie, and dumping on some syrup would throw it out of whack. So consider something a little more balanced and restrained, tempered and enriched by dairy: ice cream.
Maple ice cream carries all the dark, moody complexities of maple syrup, but in a more versatile form. It's a quick dessert on its own, an impressive pie topper, and—a hint—it's awesome on French toast.
I've tackled the maple ice cream question before, but that recipe was all about the delicate balance of maple sweetness with refreshing rosemary depth. This recipe goes straight for the maple jugular, all maple all the time. And it does so with even less maple syrup, giving you more of the bottle to drizzle over the top, or to hit up those waffles and that pot of cabbage.
One thing you can't skimp on is the salt. A full teaspoon of Kosher salt may sound like a lot, but maple's sweet enough to handle it. You'll really want to bring out the fullest expression of maple flavor in the ice cream; less will just leave it sweet, but bland when buried under all that cold and dairy fat.
