Many dieters are obsessed with counting calories, but many experts say it's not necessary. You do not need to frantically count every single calorie, but you should know your recommended calorie intake. Unfortunately, the answer to that question largely depends on who you're asking. Some diets claim 1200 calories is the recommended amount, while others suggest 2000. Add in suggestions from friends and family and all you are left with is—confusion.
We're going to clear this up for you because we want you to focus on your weight loss goals, not calorie counting.
Recommended calorie intake
You should aim to consume and burn an equal number of calories per day if you are trying to maintain your weight. Consume more calories than you burn if you are trying to gain weight. And lastly, consume fewer calories than you burn if you are trying to lose weight.
The trouble starts when you try to count the calories you are consuming AND burning. For example, how many calories are in a handful of chips? Or, how many calories do you burn by walking up a flight of stairs? The answer to both of these questions depends on the amount of potato chips and the size of the staircase.
The tips below should help you determine your recommended calorie intake
The calories you consume include those that you eat and those that you drink. Visit caloriecount to find out how many calories you are consuming from the foods you eat. Being aware of your overall calorie consumption is the first step toward reaching your recommended calorie intake.
Although the high calorie drinks—juice, soda or alcohol—may taste good, excessive and even moderate consumption of these sugary drinks can greatly increase your daily caloric intake. A regular soda contains 140 calories. If you drink a soda with every meal, for example, you are adding an extra 420 calories to your diet! This can add up to a lot of extra body weight that could easily be avoided by switching to water instead of soda.
Have you ever had a huge meal only to be hungry an hour later? Poor dietary choices can leave you feeling hungry and unsatisfied. Eating healthy will make you feel fuller longer so you aren't tempted to compensate later with empty calories and unhealthy choices.
Figuring out how many calories you're burning can be tricky. Luckily, there are some tools to help you. HealthStatus.com can help you figure out how many calories you've burned. However, when using these tools, remember to be truthful with yourself for the most productive results.
- Maintain a sense of balance
With our hectic and crazy schedules, it's important to maintain a sense of balance. There are so many other stressors in our lives—weight loss should not be one of them. Understanding your recommended calorie intake is important, but that knowledge won't do you any good if you don't eat healthy.
But how do you find healthy food that won't take hours of preparation and cook time?
If you're looking for something fast and convenient without the hassle of frequenting the grocery store, bistroMD offers a diet delivery program that can help you successfully lose weight through healthy eating. We cook with the freshest ingredients and have over 200 recipes and a customizable menu so you should have no problem finding something to satisfy your taste buds.
Every bite you take follows this proven approach for healthy weight loss. Our program provides 1,100-1,400 calories daily with 40-50% total caloric intake from lean, adequate protein, 20-25% of calories from healthy fats, and 30-35% from complex carbohydrates.
It only takes a few weeks to start seeing results. You don't have anything to lose, but the fat!
We have a men and a women's program with the option to receive five-or-seven-days' worth of healthy meals delivered to your door.
The two programs range from $130-$160 and EATS, our essential and tasty snacks are just $1.50 per snack. Women receive two snacks per day and men receive three snacks per day.
Remember to stay motivated and make gradual changes that fit easily into your lifestyle. You can use your new knowledge of recommended calorie intake to make smarter choices to successfully reach your weight loss goals.

Looking for any KINGSMAN related information
I am working on a one name study of the Kingsman family.
So far, the majority of the evidence points to all Kingsmans, probably all Kingmans, and possibly all Kinsmans and Kinmans being descended from the family of Simon Kynnesman (c1370-c1450) who held the Manor of Loddington, Northamptonshire.
I have two active websites containing data on these families: Kingsman Family Tree and a more comprehensive site in preparation of Kingsman Family Data
Both are works in progress and I still have much to add to them.
If you have any questions about these families or any information to share, then please leave a message for me.
I would particularly like to hear from any Kingsmans in Australia as that remains as one of the biggest unsolved puzzles in the tree.

TOKYO (AP) -- The head of the utility behind Japan's nuclear crisis acknowledged Monday that hundreds of workers at the contaminated Fukushima Dai-ichi plant were mobilized through a murky hiring system.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. President Naomi Hirose attributed the hiring problem to high worker turnover at the highly contaminated worksite, adding that the problem became prevalent as the company desperately tried to recruit workers willing to take jobs with high risks of radiation exposure.
The March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami destroyed power and crucial cooling systems at the Fukushima plant, causing multiple meltdowns and contaminating the plant's surroundings. The plant has substantially stabilized since then, but full decommissioning is expected to take decades.
Hirose said TEPCO is working to fix the hiring problem, which he attributed to an industry-wide hierarchical contract system. But he said that the deep-rooted industry practice cannot be changed overnight, and that a full overhaul will be difficult.
"Ideally, it would be best if we reform the contract hiring system and start from there, but it will be extremely time-consuming," Hirose said. "It's a difficult task we cannot do on our own. It will take heavy-duty work. It involves history and business ties, and could even hurt the industry."
In a recent TEPCO survey of some 2,400 contract workers, dozens said they were instructed to falsify affiliations, while some complained they never received a written contract.
In the survey, taken in September and October, about half said they were being paid by different companies than the ones that hired them — an indication of illegal labor contracts. Nearly 90 percent said their employers were ranked from second to fourth in the hierarchy of subcontractors. About one-quarter said their employers never notified them of their radiation exposure details.
The hiring problem has intensified since last year's disaster, and some workers have come forward and complained that their salaries have been siphoned off or allowances not given.
Hirose said securing a workforce that can last through decades-long post-disaster operations would be critical to cleanup efforts.
"Decommissioning is a lengthy process of 30 to 40 years, which is long enough for a fresh employee to reach retirement age," he said. "Our staffing is sufficient in the short term, but we may face a difficulty in the long run."
Hirose said TEPCO hopes to invite experts from the United States, Britain and France in coming years to seek technology expertise and support to decommission Fukushima's reactors.

Winfrey: Armstrong interview will satisfy viewers
NEW YORK (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says she and her TV crew were "mesmerized and riveted" by some of Lance Armstrong's answers during a 2 1/2-hour interview in which the cyclist acknowledged using performance-enhancing drugs.
Speaking on "CBS This Morning," Winfrey talked about how Monday's interview was arranged over a lunch with Armstrong in Hawaii and said he seemed ready to answer tough questions about drug use during a career in which he won seven Tour de France titles — victories now stripped from him.
Describing Armstrong's demeanor, Winfrey says, "I felt that he was thoughtful, I thought that he was serious, I thought that he certainly had prepared for this moment. I would say that he met the moment." She says she was "satisfied" with the answers.
Winfrey adds that no lawyers were allowed in the room during the interview and that during a break Armstrong asked if there would be a point when the questions would lighten up.

BASEBALL: Wapak ACME blasts New Bremen
NEW BREMEN — The Wapakoneta ACME baseball team scored nine runs in the first two innings and scored 17 runs for the second straight night in a 17-5 win over New Bremen in six innings on Friday night.
"They did a nice job of pounding the ball tonight," Wapakoneta coach Willie Sammetinger said. "They made some mistakes early and our guys took advantage."
"Those first two innings killed us," New Bremen coach Logan O'Neill said. "Good teams take advantage of mistakes and that is what Wapakoneta did tonight."
Wapakoneta got the scoring underway quickly in the first inning. With one out, Josh Apple reached on a bunt single and went to Kaeck on a wild pitch. Brandon Schreiber reached on an error and Brandon Miller loaded the bases with a walk. Chandler Kaeck laced a double to right that brought home two runs. Following a pop up, Miller and Kaeck scored when Chace Culver reached on an error for a 4-0 lead.
In the second inning things got worse for New Bremen as Wapakoneta batted around scoring five more runs. Dylan Knoch led off and reached on an error and scored on a double to right by Alex Koch.
Apple reached on a hit batter and both runners advanced on a balk. Schreiber walked to load the bases. A fly out to center by Miller scored Koch. Apple came home on a wild pitch. Schreiber came home on a double by Kaeck and Kaeck scored with two outs on a single by Culver.
Wapakoneta got over the run limit with a pair of runs in the fourth inning. Culver got a one out single and Knoch walked with two outs. Both runners scored on a single by Koch and Apple reached on an error and scored on a single by Schreiber to give Wapakoneta a 12-0 lead.
New Bremen finally got on the board with two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to make the score 12-2.
In the bottom of the fifth inning New Bremen avoided the run rule when they scored three times, making the score 12-5.
Wapakoneta put the game away in the top of the sixth as they batted around for the second time and scored five runs. Dom Campos came on in the sixth and retired the side for the victory. Marshall Gerlach pitched the first five innings for the victory.
"We got some gifts tonight, but a win is a win," Sammetinger said. "Gerlach tired a little in the fifth and Campos came on to finish the game."

Last month we brought you our in-depth review on the AMD A8-3850 'Llano' Accelerated Processing Unit
(APU), which is the flagship processor in AMD's new A-Series lineup. We found the processor to be 'good enough' for general computing tasks and it far exceeded our expectations as far as how the graphics processor performed. The AMD A8-3850 currently retails for $139.99 shipped and while that may seem like a fair price, we all know people out there are always looking for lower cost solutions. When AMD launched the AMD A-Series they announced two processors the A8-3850 and the A6-3650. Today we will be looking at the more budget friendly AMD A6-3650 APU that costs $20 less at $119.99 shipped.
The AMD A6-3650 APU is available as a retail boxed processor under the part number AD3650WNGXBOX and it retails for $119.99 shipped. Included for this price is of course the AMD A6-3650 APU, a cpu cooler and it is backed by a three year warranty. This is a socket FM1 processor, so you'll need to have a motherboard with the 905-pin FM1 socket!
Here is a shot of the actual A6-3650 APU that we have for testing. This processor is marked AD3650WNZ43GX and was made on week 23 of 2011.
AMD has announced the A8-3850 and the A6-3650 APU's and both are available to purchase now. AMD is planning on releasing two slower APU's that feature 65W TDP's called the A8-3800 and A6-3600 at a later date. The A8-3850 has a 2.9GHz quad-core CPU, 600MHz GPU w/ 400 Radeon
cores, 4MB of L2 cache and a 100W TDP. The APU that we are looking at today is the A6-3650 and it has a 2.6GHz
quad-core CPU, 443MHz GPU w/ 320 Radeon cores, 4MB of L2 cache and a
100W TDP. With the 300MHz lower CPU clock speed and 157MHz lower GPU clock speeds on fewer Radeon cores we already know the A6-3650 is going to be significantly slower when it comes to performance.
Before we move on to benchmarking and overclocking we wanted to give you the details on the graphics performance on the two AMD A-Series APU's as the difference between the GPUs in the A6 and the A8 is rather significant. The AMD A8-3850 APU has the AMD Radeon HD 6550D GPU inside and it has 400 Radeon cores
and a clock speed of 600MHz. The Radeon HD 6550D is capable of reaching
480 GFLOPS of GPU peak compute, which is rather impressive. The GPU inside the AMD A6-3650 is called the Radeon HD 6530D GPU and it has 320 Radeon cores running at 443MHz with performance reaching 284 GFLOPS of GPU compute power. When it comes to peak GPU compute power the AMD A8-3850 has 69% GFLOPS than the A6-3650 for an additional $20 more at the time of purchase. If you care about GPU performance you might want to pay that extra 17% and get better performance. Let's look at the test system and then the benchmarks to see if it is worth it.

Julian Lennon is not a "veteran U2 forum fan."He is probably just one of the "newbie eager fanboys" who believe what U2 say hook, line, and sinker.2013? Not a chance.Cheers,J

The thing is, if you read the article, it says that U2 told Julian Lennon not to do anything with most of his pics because they're thinking about using them for the album.My perspective is that I imagine U2 has a lot of respect for Julian and wouldn't just give him some wishy washy "yeah...it'll be out next year...maybe" if they didn't really expect that to happen, because they're asking him to just sit on his own work. Then again, his work wouldn't have much meaning if it weren't for them in the first place, so you could say they should have the right to tell him whatever they want, but still...I would hope that my initial instincts hit close to the truth.
Julian's not allowed to release his photos because he's the first person to ever get photographic proof of The Edge on fire...

Evolutionists regard all animal and human behavior as having specific evolutionary origins, believing that the present characteristics they possess have been passed down from their supposed ancestors, from the first cell through to their present-day forms.
Again according to evolutionists, the oldest form of behavior in animals is food-gathering, which behavior is common to all living things, from the first cells up to human beings. Impulses to survive (self-preservation) and to reproduce and preserve the race or species emerged later.. According to evolutionists, all behavior has one origin and one single cause, and underwent appropriate changes during adaptation to various environmental conditions.
However, nothing about behavior squares with an evolutionary scenario. Because living things lack the reasoning abilities to learn by trial and error, and then record these lessons as "instinct" in the genes, and transmit them to subsequent generations. Right from birth, they possess such innate forms of behavior as defending themselves and nest -building..
Allah creates all living things with their own unique attributes and forms of behavior. It is impossible, for instance, for a butterfly to decide to assume the appearance of a dead leaf in order to camouflage itself and increase its chances of survival, and then refine the changes in its wings with that goal in mind. There can be no question of a beaver learning to build a dam, requiring highly advanced engineering calculations, across a river in order to stop the flow of water. It possesses the ability to do this from the moment of its birth.
Evolutionists sometimes claim that animals acquire some forms of behavior through experience, and the most effective behaviors become "fixed" by way of natural selection. These effective forms of behavior are subsequently passed on to later generations through genetic inheritance.
However, living things cannot survive in the absence of these instinctive forms of behavior. And therefore, they have no time in which to learn them. A living thing has to possess this behavior from the moment it is born. The idea that such behavior can "evolve" is therefore inconsistent right from the start, because evolutionist hypotheses allow for no consciousness to make any such selection. Living things are born possessing of various characteristics and instinctive forms of behavior that allow them to survive.

White Venture needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 66 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
The name Saydanar means goodwill. Saydanar is a small aid organization from Switzerland which supports and realizes dedicated aid projects in Burma (Myanmar). Our first project was dedicated to the Nargis cycone victims, we supported them with drinking water, food, housing and cloth. Currently we are realizing the construction of wells and pipes for drinking water supply. One of the founders is half swiss half burmese with a very faithful, reliable and effective network.Saydanar periodically inform donators about the status and progress of our projects.
+ Private persons in central Europe (in particular Switzerland) with social responsibility
+ People who already support aid organizations but want to support smaller organization with concrete projects and virtually no overhead
+ Donators who want to see concrete results
The logo should consist of two parts: 1) The written name "Saydanar" and 2) a symbol or image of a flower or something abstract that looks like a flower.
The symbol should have an "asian touch", so that without knowing, a potential donator reckons that it has "something to do with Asia". Saydanar supports dedicated projects as lean as possible. Therefore, the symbol should be straight, simple, memorable and appropriate. The symbol should preferable be in one color; the written name in another. Combine black/gray with warm red, orange, or any other warm or gentle colors. Preferably stick to two colors. As said, keep it simple. Nevertheless the logo should have a modern and stylish appearance.
Technical requirements:
+ It's a must to provide the logo as a vector graphic in Adobe lllustrator format
+ The font for "Saydanar" should be a common font being available in any standard windows installation; else use a free font

Love barbecued chicken sliders? You don't need to slave over the grill or smoker for that pulled sandwich. Here's an easier way -- just use your Crock-Pot. I've found a slow-cooker barbecue chicken recipe that looks super easy. Just let the cooker do its magic all day while you run around to soccer games, and by dinnertime, all you need are rolls and coleslaw!
Slow-Cooker Barbecue Chicken via My Recipes
24 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup reduced-fat Italian dressing
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth
1. Put chicken in slow cooker. In a bowl, combine barbecue sauce, dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.
2. Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred with 2 forks. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and chicken broth. Stir into sauce in slow cooker, cover, and cook until sauce is thickened and heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Return chicken to cooker, stir, cover, and continue cooking on low for 45 minutes. Serve chicken on whole-grain buns, over brown rice, or with baked potatoes if you like.

She won the give away! Sorry it took me so long. I had the names printed out and cut up and in a box ready for one of my boys to pick a winner. I had 2 back to back births I was a doula for. That always messes up my plans. But they were both fun, wonderful Hypnobabies births.
So I finally had MY hypnobaby pick out a name last night.
Chrissy, I have e-mailed you. I just need your snail mail address and I will get your gifts out to you!

By Inti Maria Tidball-Binz & Ju Santarosa (Hollaback! Buenos Aires) & Sharon Haywood (Adios Barbie & AnyBody Argentina)
Read this post on Adios Barbie [http://www.adiosbarbie.com] with an introduction from Sharon Haywood, here [http://www.adiosbarbie.com/2012/05/21st-century-street-harassment/]
Every day, as women, we walk the streets, travel to work, visit our families, go out with friends, do our shopping, always knowing there is a possibility that they'll catcall us, lean up against us/cop a feel in the subway, or follow us. Furthermore, knowing the reality of human trafficking, many of us live with the fear of being abducted off the street. If we have children, we project these fears to our daughters, who are exposed to the same reality.
Today the possibility exists that a stranger can anonymously take a picture of us and then upload it on the Internet for anyone to measure our physical attractiveness. Chicas Bondi, an Argentine Facebook page with the motto, "without posing and without permission," exploits images of anonymous women for self-promotion. Taken secretly on local transportation, the images of these women, who could be identified by their dress and route of travel (which is also published), are subject to the gaze of thousands. In the context of a lascivious gaze, these women are exposed to a greater risk of harassment and stalking, which can be especially problematic for women who are suffering in or trying to escape violent relationships.
Chicas Bondi promotes this practice among its fans, encouraging them to upload their own photos, creating a culture of digital harassment. The feeling of being photographed in secret, or to discover your own image on Facebook can be extremely unpleasant, as one "chica bondi" described on Facebook: "Well, when I saw that I was in a posted photo, it scared me… and then afterwards, blah! But maybe there isn't the need to post these photos online… I feel like I'm in a catalog for rapists or other sick people. It was quite shocking…" As so often happens, the social pressure to accept what has happened is stronger than the sense of shock and fear these women may experience.
On Thursday, May 24, Hollaback! Buenos Aires along with several other feminists engaged in a long conversation with the creators of Chicas Bondi (who wish to remain anonymous) in order to discuss how their project was impacting women and society. We described the reality of how women are objectified every day in the streets, in addition to the social pressures to conform to one stereotype of beauty (young, white, thin, wealthy). We reported the page to Facebook, and encouraged our followers to do the same, in addition to having them voice their concerns directly to Chicas Bondi.
We ended up extending the following proposal: if the photographer asked women to offer up publication rights to Chicas Bondi before publication, women would then have the right to decide what is done with their own image, thus giving them autonomy over their own body. After a lengthy and indepth conversation with the owners of Chicas Bondi, they committed to asking women permission before publishing their photos, and in return, we agreed to withdraw our unified campaign against the page. We hope that they fulfill their promise and also apply the same measures in any other similar situations.
Prior to our negotiations, the page published a notice stating that if a woman requested her photo to be removed, Chicas Bondi would do so without issue. It's important to highlight the difference between this measure and the act of asking permission before posting. Once a photo is in the public domain on the Net, it cannot be deleted; the moment a photo is published online, it can be easily copied and stored by anyone who wishes to save it. It is impossible to know who has a copy or where. Worth noting is that if the photos are posted on Facebook, the location and time of the photo are saved: "When you post things like photos or videos on Facebook, we may receive additional related data (or metadata), such as the time, date, and place you took the photo or video," even though such data is not made public.
We want to stress the importance of this new measure, even though Chicas Bondi has made it clear that they did not make this choice for us ("us" being Hollaback and all women), but that they have chosen to do so for themselves. Filmmakers have approached Chicas Bondi with a proposal that would require consent of the women featured in the project. Beyond their personal motivations, we do see this as a step forward. Through a joint dialogue and an exchange of ideas and perspectives we were able to achieve greater awareness of gender equality issues.
For the record, Hollaback! Buenos Aires, AnyBody Argentina, and Adios Barbie reject the idea behind the project: it is an expression of sexism which, under the excuse of being artistic, presents women as "decorative bodies" in the public eye, acting as a "things" to be commented on and judged. This is the same concept behind the problem of street harassment. We reject the commodification of the female body as an object existing for the enjoyment of others, to be enjoyed without the essential element of consent. This form of sexism presents women as objects destined to satisfy men, removing autonomy over their own person and body. Why does the photographer feel he has the right to take pictures of women he does not know and share it on the Internet without their consent? What entitles him to do so?
To justify the existence of Chicas Bondi, the owners originally cited the [Argentine] law 11.723, art. 31 which says: "Portraits are free to be published as they relate to scientific, educational and overall cultural ends, or if they relate to facts or events in the public interest or have occurred in public." Hollaback! Buenos Aires contends that a woman cannot be treated as a "thing" in the public interest. A woman is not liable to be "owned." We need to stop endorsing the macho concept that, in public life, a woman is public property, and therefore "arguable" at the whim of an observer. Women's image in society will not change if we ourselves don't actively take charge of our own integrity.
In our favor, Article 1071 bis of the [Argentine] Civil Code, in seeking the protection of the right to privacy, states: "Whoever arbitrarily interferes in the lives of others by posting pictures, humiliating others by broadcasting correspondence that reveals personal habits or feelings, or in any way disturbing their privacy, and if a criminal offense has not been committed, the offending party must cease such activities, and pay fair compensation to be fixed by the judge according to circumstances; also the aggrieved may order the publication of the judgment in a journal or newspaper."
We believe that anonymously taking pictures of women and uploading them to the Internet is a violation of one's right to privacy, and threatens the personal integrity of women photographed. In addition, this kind of behavior reinforces a sexist and backward-thinking society in which the image isn't just defined by its appearance, it is also defined by the connotations behind the image. The message being sent is that the woman is an object, defined by her passive role, thus leaving her to be exploited or suffer a loss of autonomy.
While the underlying issues remain–the objectification of women, the underlying sexism in this practice, and the way we normalize the violation of women's rights–at least now, those digitally-captured Argentine women have the right to basic consent. For our part, we will make every effort to monitor the page to ensure that no further breach to the privacy of women occurs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: A/Captain James Stuard
On Friday May 2, 2014, the Escondido Police Department conducted a curfew sweep throughout the City of Escondido from 10:00p.m. until 1:00a.m.. As a result of the sweep, a total of 10 juveniles were arrested for curfew violations. The juveniles were transported to the police station and eventually released to their parent/guardian.
The juveniles were processed through the Escondido Police Department's Diversion Program rather than being referred directly to juvenile court. Escondido Police partners with Escondido Education Compact in the management of our Diversion Program. Each of the juveniles arrested were screened and referred to the juvenile diversion program based on numerous criteria which include criminal history, severity of offense and cooperation of the juvenile and parent. The diversion program gives the juvenile an opportunity to participate in a structured process aimed at improving their decision making abilities in an effort to reduce future law enforcement contacts. Nine of the juveniles were accepted for the Diversion Program.
The City of Escondido's current curfew hours are 10pm to 5am the following day. Escondido Police will continue to conduct frequent curfew sweeps throughout the remainder of the year.
To report any suspicious activities in your neighborhood, you may contact the Police Department directly, or you may make an unidentified call on our Anonymous Tip Line at 760-743-TIPS (8477) or via our Web site at police.escondido.org.

Brewers come back, top A's in 10th
Milwaukee, WI – Yuniesky Betancourt drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning to help the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Oakland Athletics, 4-3, in the second of a three-game interleague series at Miller Park.
Carlos Gomez's fielder's choice groundout put a runner on first with two outs in the 10th before Betancourt smacked a line drive to right-center, scoring Gomez from first for the deciding run off Oakland's Pat Neshek (1-1).
John Axford (2-3) picked up the win after working around a walk in the top of the 10th. Jean Segura drove in two runs with a triple as part of a three-run eighth inning and Aramis Ramirez tied the game at 3-3 with a one-out RBI bloop single.
"It was a fun game," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "We had a hit and run going at the time when Betancourt drove in Gomez. The bullpen came through."
Yoenis Cespedes recorded his first career multi-homer game, accounting for all of Oakland's offense, scoring two runs and driving in three off his two homers in the setback.
The Athletics had won 15 of 17 following Monday's 10-2 trouncing in the series opener, while Milwaukee snapped a five-game home losing streak.
Sean Doolittle took the hill in the eighth with the Athletics holding a 3-0 lead, but things quickly got worse for the visitors.
Rickie Weeks and Norichika Aoki hit back-to-back singles, and Segura came through with a two-run triple down the right-field line, cutting the Brewers' deficit to 3-2.
Ryan Cook entered the game for Oakland and didn't do any better, blowing the save and giving up Ramirez's one-out bloop single to center, scoring Segura and tying the game at 3-3.
"He's having to deal, for the first time in his career, with being hit," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said of Doolittle. "That's the first time in his career he's given up a three-run lead. It was four pitches. His command was off, it was shocking to see."
Milwaukee had a great chance to win the game in the ninth versus Athletics reliever Jerry Blevins, but Segura grounded out with the bases loaded to send the game to extras.
Coco Crisp opened up the game with a single, stole second and advanced to third on John Jaso's groundout to first. The next batter, Cespedes, took the first pitch he saw over the left-center wall, giving the Athletics a 2-0 advantage.
Oakland starter A.J. Griffin, meanwhile, retired the first eight Milwaukee batters he faced and lasted seven innings, allowing just four hits and no runs while striking out six, but Oakland's bullpen couldn't help him secure the win.
Milwaukee starter Kyle Lohse allowed all three Oakland runs, which of course came on Cespedes' two homers.
"Although Lohse had given up two homers, I thought he threw the ball well," added Roenicke.
Cespedes continued to carry his team in the sixth, launching his second homer of the game to lead off the inning. He crushed Lohse's 3-1 offering in nearly the exact same spot as his first shot of the game, extending the visitors' lead to 3-0.
Game Notes
Milwaukee, which had dropped five straight at home for the third time this season, last had a six-game skid at Miller Park from Aug. 30-Sept. 10, 2011 ... Cespedes now has 11 home runs this season ... Milwaukee's last home win came on May 24 versus Pittsburgh.

At Sohodojo we have a few 'words to live by'. They include 'Small is Good' and a corollary, 'Simpler is Better'. As developers, most of us have learned this viscerally with regard to our own programming habits.
But simplicity and intimacy (an aspect of smallness, Miller's "Magic Number 7 plus/minus 3") apply at many levels of our lives.
The Advogato community as compared to the SourceXchange marketplace/community is a clear case in point my recent experience.
Frank Castellucci and I have a small OSS contract at SourceXchange, Spec Writing for Web-based Project Planning.
Visit to the SourceXchange site and see what kind of impression you get about what is going on there. Play a little game of 'Find the developers'... the community that is the 'backbone' of sXc's OSS marketplace. Try to find and get juiced about the projects that sXc has been matchmaker on. It's tough.
You are much more likely to find how they are 'moving and shaking' to spend the $35 million in venture money they have raised. You'll see announcements of all the other movers and shakers they are partnering with and how grand and wonderful their plans are for mainstreaming OSS.
It's not that doing this 'big corporate partnering' stuff is bad. It just should not be at the expense of, or at a higher priority than doing a good job of, their core competency which is developing and nurturing the developer/project community which is the basis of their business model.
The stats of our logs this month tell the tale. Here are the unique visitor sessions referred to Sohodojo (we host our sXc project website) from SourceXchange and from Advogato:
SourceXchange to Sohodojo: 110
Advogato to Sohodojo: 1165
(These unique visits are through October 1-20th.)
Simpler is better. With one (politically incorrect) GIF image and some clever programming (mod_virgule), Advogato is helping me (and Sohodojo) network and collaborate more effectively than the 'big guns' at SourceXchange. I am meeting exciting new people with similar research and development interests. Folks are finding out about who I am, what juices me up, and vice versa.
This is very exciting and very interesting... and I am glad to be a part of it.
Finally, if you want to delve into a bit more of the 'Simplicity Movement', check out author Bill Jensen's SimplerWork website which complements his 'Simplicity: The New Competitive Advantage' book.

Oregon Masters in Biomedical Engineering Schools
Masters in Biomedical Engineering on Campus programs give students the opportunity to enhance their technical knowledge and skills in engineering so that they might solve today's most critical problems in biology and medicine. As a student in a Masters in Biomedical Engineering program, you will study biomedical engineering topics such as biomaterials, medical imaging and biomedical instrumentation. Biomedical Engineering is often used synonymously with the term 'bioengineering' when they both refer to the application of engineering principles to the fields of biology and health care. Sometimes, however, it can mean 'biological' or genetic engineering and may refer to agriculture. Students should take the time to evaluate their career goals and request information from the school to ascertain what they will be studying.
Masters in Masters in Biomedical Engineering on Campus Program Overview
Admission to a Masters of Science in Biomedical Engineering Program commonly requires students to have a Bachelor of Science degree in or advanced degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, premedical, bioengineering and biotechnology.
Students are usually able to earn a master's degree in biomedical engineering within two years of completing an undergraduate program. Typically, candidates must earn around 30 or 36 academic credits to complete a master's degree program. Common master's degrees in Biomedical Engineering are the Master of Science (M.S.) or the Master of Engineering (M.Eng). Coursework for both degree types is similar, though the M.S. typically includes a thesis requirement. The M.Eng. is geared towards individuals who would like to complete additional technical coursework instead. Students can look for programs that offer a
thesis or non-thesis degree options. Some programs also entail fulfilling the requirements of a practicum or a research project.
Why Choose a Campus-Based Masters in Biomedical Engineering Program
Some students prefer to take courses on-site where they can interact with their instructors and classmates face-to-face in a traditional classroom setting. One of the potential advantages, apart form networking, is that students gain access to the facilities of their university. This can be a plus when you have laboratory work as well as library researching to do.
If campus life does not suit you or does not fit your specific time schedule, you may want to consider an online biomedical engineering masters program, as this allows you a flexible schedule. There are even hybrid biomedical engineering masters programs that give you the flexibility of some online classes while still being able to enjoy campus life.
Finding a Biomedical Engineering School
GradSchools.com can help simplify the process of finding accredited Biomedical Engineering schools with masters degree programs. Start with a location search to determine the city, state or country that you would like to study in. this will yield listings such as Biomedical Engineering MS, and Bioengineering MS programs.
FUN FACT: Biomedical engineering and bioengineering programs are accredited by ABET
Potential Coursework in Biomedical Engineering Masters Programs
Most Masters in Biomedical Engineering programs require students to establish the necessary foundation in molecular- or systems-level biology/physiology and mathematics, in addition to advanced biomedical engineering, physics and design techniques coursework.
Students often are able to choose courses in topics that include:
- Biomedical instrumentation
- Biomaterials,
- Drug delivery,
- Orthopedic biomechanics and devices
- Protein engineering
- Anatomy and physiology
- Biochemistry
- Immunology
- Bioinformatics
- Systems analysis and mathematics (eg: calculus for engineers)
- Medical imaging and material science
Explore a Career in Biomedical Engineering
Graduates with a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering may be well placed in a fast-growing field. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of Biomedical Engineers in is projected to grow 23% between 2014 and 2024. With technology rapidly advancing, new areas of employment will be generated and created.
Often, Biomedical Engineers choose a specialty within the field, such as:
- Bioinstrumentation
- Biomaterials
- Biomechanics
- Clinical Engineering
- Rehabilitation Engineering
- Systems Physiology
Ready to Pursue a Masters in Biomedical Engineering?
The combination of expertise in engineering and biology can be used in many professional fields, whether to develop new MRI technology, design computer software, or find new materials to improve prosthetics. With the experience of working in the field and advanced education, Biomedical Engineers may experience upward career mobility. Why not prepare yourself by earning a Masters in Biomedical Engineering!

LITTLE ROCK � An $11 million jury award to the family of a boy who received surgery on the wrong side of his brain should be struck down because jurors were not told they could assign part of the blame to the doctors who performed the operation, an attorney for the hospital's insurance carrier argued Thursday.
LITTLE ROCK � An $11 million jury award to the family of a boy who received surgery on the wrong side of his brain should be struck down because jurors were not told they could assign part of the blame to the doctors who performed the operation, an attorney for the hospital�s insurance carrier argued Thursday.
Attorneys for the family argued that the award should be restored to $20 million, the amount of the original award before it was reduced on appeal.
The state Supreme Court heard oral arguments but did not immediately issue a ruling in the case, which began as a negligence lawsuit filed by Kenny and Pam Metheny of Mabelvale over an operation performed on their son, Cody, at Arkansas Children�s Hospital in July 2004.
Cody Metheny was 15 when doctors operated on him in an attempt to cure a seizure disorder. They initially operated on the wrong side of the brain before realizing their mistake and performing the correct procedure.
David Ellington, attorney for Proassurance Indemnity, the hospital�s insurance carrier, argued Thursday that the case should be sent back to circuit court for new proceedings because the trial judge did not instruct jurors to determine what percentage of the fault was the hospital�s and what percentage was the doctors�.
�At no time was the jury instructed to make that breakdown,� Ellington said.
The lead surgeon for the procedure was Dr. Badih Adada, a neurosurgeon who no longer practices at Arkansas Children�s Hospital. Adada settled out of court with the Methenys and was never part of the lawsuit.
Grant Davis, attorney for the Methenys, said it was appropriate that the doctors were not part of the jury�s deliberations because they were not parties in the suit. Allowing defendants to try to assign blame to non-parties would set a dangerous precedent, he said.
�That would give the incentive to defendants to bring in anyone. � That would bring chaos to everything,� he said.
The original $20 million award to the Methenys was reduced to $11 million because that was the maximum amount for which Proassurance was liable under the hospital�s policy at the time the operation was performed. The Methenys have filed a cross-appeal arguing that the original amount should be restored.
The Methenys claim that two acts of negligence occurred: The mistake during surgery and a 15-month lag between when the operation was performed and when they learned of the mistake. They claim that the hospital should be held liable for both acts and that they occurred during two different periods of coverage, so the $11 million cap does not apply.
Kenny Metheny said after the hearing that his son is still in a brain rehabilitation center.
�I�ll never have my Cody that I had before the surgery. Basically they took my son away from me,� he said before becoming too emotional to speak.
After the hearing, the court went into recess until January.

You feel the spring in each and every corner of your apartment. Some plants grow flowers in a few days after their plantation. They can grow in-door and little care can help them survive and bloom.
Bookshelf in the living room or any other shelf needs a little decorating also. You can add there some vases or any little brass pots at the sides of books. These look great with the background of books. You can change the places of books to bring the more colored covers in front. Some little toys also look lovely on the shelf. A small plane or a little car with some other colorful objects can also be placed on the shelf. Apartments stockbridge need little attention to bring in them some change that go with spring.
To make the spring a great time of the year, you can make some little things at home which take a little time and nominal cost. There are great ideas to put in practice if you focus on making things with your hands. Draw a tree on a poster and stick on its branches popcorns to resemble cherry blossoms. With light green background and grown branches this tree looks like a real image of cherry tree with the white popped pop corns. Another idea is to make butterflies with white tissue paper. Just take a full square of tissue paper and tie it in the middle with twisted wire and color the wings randomly with green, pink, orange and other bright colors. Glue these butterflies on different places in the living room or any other place you like in your apartment in stockbridge ga. Other than these there are many different ideas for making colorful and cheerful objects. With these ideas you can make your home an ideal place spreading a word about spring.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate currently in production. Original sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however several modifications were made at the conventional opening of the new model year (start August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These attributes made adequate difference to warrant classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has actually sustained with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Brandon MS are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the very first version but, due to the added equipment required to satisfy brand-new US emission and security regulations, was heavier than the very first design. Performance was lowered and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Brandon MS were available between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for 4 people. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles readily available consisted of a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford built 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

A Newport Beach plastic surgeon will give some South American children something to smile about starting Tuesday.
Dr. Mark A. Anton, along with Operation Smile, will be in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, for two weeks to perform free facial surgeries on young patients in need there.
Since 1982, the Norfolk, Va.-based Operation Smile has performed more than 200,000 free surgical procedures on children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
Anton has been involved with the nonprofit since 1989, when he served a facial fellowship in Norfolk. There, he met the program's founder, Dr. William "Bill" Magee. Shortly after, Anton started his own private practice in Newport Beach.
"Surgery is like going in your garage and being creative and fixing things," he said.
Anton has also served Operation Smile missions in Liberia and Kenya.
He said one of his most memorable missions was to Hinche, Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake. He said mobile surgical teams helped trauma victims with surgeries in various parts of their bodies.
"Being involved with teams, you realize, looking back on your youth, those were fun times when you were with a group of people with similar desires," Anton said. "And everyone is applying those toward people."
Anton said that Operation Smile is the "creation of smiles from a deformity."
"It's an honor and a pleasure to be immersed into the local society and the people," he said. "What I really take home from it is however poor someone is, they're very happy from the experience and learn what makes life precious."
Anton frequently encourages his patients and anyone he meets to donate to Operation Smile, which is raising money for a global headquarters building in Norfolk.
"Every dollar is efficiently used and not wasted," he said.
Anton said he is excited for this mission to Bolivia.
"I know that when I leave, my view on life and people gets rejuvenated and refreshed," he said. "My belief in life and people is reaffirmed."

Who is to say that the House of Tongues is not that place where rats swarm around your feet under blooming sofas is not that place of poisoned snows, pens run dry and secrets now too late to know and certainly the murmuring there below was a mur- was a mur- was a murmuring almost to be heard a bubbling
Michael Palmer
On October 9, 1942, Michael Palmer was born in New York City. In 1963, he attended the Vancouver Poetry Conference, taking part in three weeks of workshops, readings, and discussions. While there, he met Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, and Clark Coolidge, who each became important influences on the development of Palmer's poetics.
Palmer is the author of numerous books of poetry, including Thread (New Directions, 2011); Company of Moths (New Directions, 2005), which was shortlisted for the Canadian Griffin Poetry Prize; Codes Appearing: Poems 1979-1988 (2001); The Promises of Glass (2000); The Lion Bridge: Selected Poems 1972-1995 (1998); At Passages (1996); Sun (1988); First Figure (1984); Notes for Echo Lake (1981); Without Music (1977); The Circular Gates (1974); and Blake's Newton (1972). He is also the author of a prose work, The Danish Notebook (Avec Books, 1999).
Palmer is frequently associated with Language Poetry, a connection which he responded to in a recent interview in Jubilat by saying: "It goes back to an organic period when I had a closer association with some of those writers than I do now, when we were a generation in San Francisco with lots of poetic and theoretical energy and desperately trying to escape from the assumptions of poetic production that were largely dominant in our culture. My own hesitancy comes when you try to create, let's say, a fixed theoretical matrix and begin to work from an ideology of prohibitions about expressivity and the self—there I depart quite dramatically from a few of the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poets."
Palmer has also translated work from French, Russian and Portuguese, and has taken part in collaborations with both painters and dancers. He edited and contributed translations to Nothing The Sun Could Not Explain: Twenty Contemporary Brazilian Poets (Sun & Moon Press, 1997), and Blue Vitriol (Avec Books, 1994), a collection of poetry by Alexei Parshchikov. He also translated Theory of Tables (1994), a book written by Emmanuel Hocquard after translating Palmer's "Baudelaire Series" into French. He has also frequently collaborated with others artists, including the painter Gerhard Richter and the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company.
Michael Palmer's honors include two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writer's Award, a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship, the Shelley Memorial Prize from the Poetry Society of America, and he was awarded the 2006 Wallace Stevens Award. In 1999, he was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. He lives in San Francisco.

With an Eye Toward the Future: Building Resilience in a Changing World
Typhoon Haiyan, the Category 5 super storm that devastated parts of the Philippines and killed thousands late last year, continues to remind us, tragically, of how vulnerable we are to weather-related disasters.
As the images of destruction and desperation continue to circle the globe, we're also reminded that those most at risk when natural disaster strikes are the world's poor – people who have little money to help them recover and who lack food security, access to clean water, sanitation and health services.
Over the last year, as one major extreme weather event after another wreaked havoc and claimed lives in the developing world, terms such as "resilience" and "loss and damage" have become part and parcel of our efforts here at the World Bank Group – and for good reason.
Developing countries have been facing mounting losses from floods, storms and droughts. Looking ahead, it's been estimated that up to 325 million extremely poor people could be living in the 49 most hazard-prone countries in 2030, the majority in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.
These scenarios are not compatible with the World Bank Group's goal to reduce extreme poverty to less than 3 percent by 2030, or with our goal to promote shared prosperity.

The event will feature two heavyweights: basketball Hall-of-Famer Bill Walton in person, and artist Marc Chagall on canvas. A raffle, which will be drawn by Walton, will allow one lucky guest to go home with an original Chagall.
"This is the art of giving," said gallery sales consultant Richard Sertucha, who has been active in charity events with CAF for years. "We're selling art, and we're giving back. This will be the biggest [CAF] event yet, I think. [Martin Lawrence] is a big name, right on Prospect Street, and we're bringing in big art."
The gallery has long been active on the charity circuit, and especially with regard to CAF of late, with Martin Lawrence's participation in CAF's 20th annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge on Oct. 20. The gallery also participated in the PEERS gala in September, which chooses one nonprofit to benefit from its annual gala every year. This year, the beneficiary was CAF.
"[The Triathlon Challenge] was an interesting interaction with community involvement," said gallery director Brenda Klippel. "Challenged Athletes started 20 years ago at the Cove, so it was a perfect tie-in for us here, with our location. They've made a real difference in the lives of athletes, and it was so great to see that firsthand and be a part of it."
Klippel and Sertucha said they feel La Jolla is the perfect location to let art lovers combine that love with the chance to help others. Having a local celebrity like Bill Walton doesn't hurt either, they said.
"Bill and other CAF athletes will be here, which is a big draw," said Sertucha. "But the art is just as much a star as Bill is."
Klippel agreed that the chance to rub elbows with a local celeb is not the only draw that will bring guests through the door on Nov. 15.
"We're really bringing in potential art investors," she said. "They, in turn, get the added bonus of giving back."
For Sertucha, who has run the event out of other galleries in La Jolla in the past, the event has special meaning.
"I've done a lot of events here in La Jolla, but this event with Challenged Athletes has probably been the most rewarding of all," he said. "It just touches your heart how people can go through a lot of tragedy and stay upbeat. There's just a lot that goes into it. To see people over the years evolve into good health has meant a lot to me."
This will be the first year Sertucha is bringing the event to Martin Lawrence.
"To go into a new gallery, and have Brenda be supportive of this idea and helping the kids, it's meant a lot to me," he said. "I'm a great idea person, but I need an organizer. That's where Brenda has been tremendously helpful and Martin Lawrence tremendously supportive."
The special exhibition featuring Challenged Athletes Foundation members, Bill Walton and Chagall paintings will take place on Nov. 15 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The gallery is located at 1111 Prospect St. To RSVP, call (858) 551-1122.

Hello BH Beauties!
Summer is in full swing and the Fourth of July is just around the corner. This means it is time for cookouts, visits with family and friends and fireworks. Why not try a new makeup look to celebrate Independence Day? Here are a few ways you can use cosmetics to incorporate red, white and blue into your style.
Nails – An easy fun way to get into the spirit is by painting your nails in a shade of red or blue. If you are partial to red, I recommend trying Classic from the Flirty Mini Nail Polish Set. If blue is your color of choice, check out Boy from the Trendy Mini Nail Polish Set. Both will give you the perfect pop of color for your fingers and toes during the holiday weekend!
Another way to create a playful look with your nails is to apply manicure stickers. Manicure stickers are a convenient way to create beautiful nails in minutes. I like our Shipmate stickers because they have the perfect blend of red, white and blue.
Lips – If you are partial to pinks and nudes, now is the time to switch things up and show your pride with a red lip. Wearing lip gloss is a fun way to add color and shine to your face. Our Classy Gal is the perfect shade of red to create a bright pout for photos. If you prefer lipstick, I recommend our Red Truffle for vibrant color. Always remember to take care of your lips by exfoliating and moisturizing prior to applying any lip product for the best results.
Eyes – Last but not least are your eyes. Wearing white eyeliner is flattering because it brightens eyes and compliments a bold lip. White eyeliner can be worn as is or it can be paired with blue eyeliner to create a layered look with contrast.
What will your Fourth of July makeup look like? Remember to share your stories and photos with us!

I wrote about a mural in this column two years ago. It covered a large liquor store wall facing the McDonald's near the intersection of Edinger Avenue and Edwards Street, and it depicted all the most iconic McDonald's characters, from Ronald to Grimace to the Hamburglar, all hanging out in Huntington Beach.
As I described back then, the detail of the mural interested me because of how accurate the little touches were, like the old wooden H.B. sign that used to be near the pier. After seeing an artist signature, "Danosians '92," I did some research.
Saeed Danosian was born in Iran in 1954. He was an artist, scholar and philanthropist who died in Irvine in 2008 at the age of 54 from a sudden aortic dissection.
I tracked down Yeganeh, his wife, who painted an incredible picture of her beloved husband. She told me how he had studied in Vienna, and that in 1979, while an art student at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, he started working at McDonald's as a manager. They were married, had a daughter and moved to Orange County in 1987. He had a master's degree in set design and art direction but could not find a job, so to support his family, he looked for a job with McDonald's Corp.
Danosian worked at the Huntington Beach McDonald's location while teaching private art classes on the side. The restaurant owner learned about his background and how much he loved teaching kids about art, so when Danosian offered to create a painting on the wall for their young customers, the owner asked him to paint a mural instead. And so he did. He also painted other murals around O.C., including one at Mission San Juan Capistrano.
As Yeganeh told me back then, "Saeed, he was a very kindhearted person and a great human being. At his funeral, which was held on Christmas Eve, there were hundreds of people present and numerous speeches given about how much Saeed had touched their lives. Irvine's then mayor, Beth Krom, said, 'He was always willing to give, with no expectations of getting anything in return.'"
Yeganeh continued, "He donated so much of his time and worked with so many nonprofit organizations. The last 10 years, he taught as a professor at Westwood College, and in 2008 (only six months before his death), he was selected as national instructor of the year. We have received so many letters from his students and their families saying how much Saeed changed their son's/daughter's life. My daughter and I are truly proud of him."
After his death, Westwood College dedicated its student commons area to him because of the difference he made in the school.
Danosian loved Huntington Beach, and many of us loved his mural. Recently, the McDonald's was remodeled. One morning last month, I noticed a sizable part of the mural was painted over with a beige patch. Were they just protecting it? I asked inside the liquor store, but they didn't know. Then, last week, the day the restaurant reopened, the mural was completely gone, all painted over. It was like losing a friend.
So what happened?
I called John Patterson, who has been the operation supervisor at the restaurant since 1992. He said that last month, during the renovation, the mural had been badly vandalized. "We were heartbroken when we came in the next morning and saw this," he told me. "In 20 years, we had never had any graffiti vandals touch the mural."
That's what prompted the first patch. He said the mural was finally painted over because it could not have been saved. It was merely put out of its misery. However, Patterson said he hopes they can create a community project to recreate the original. "I worked here with Saeed," he told me. "He was running shifts while he painted it. Then he came and touched it up later on. He was a very special and talented man. We want to recreate his legacy somehow on that wall. His work deserved better than what happened."
As for the vandals, you can see from the photo Patterson took that it was a group of vegans making a "statement." Never mind that their statement was at the expense of everyone else, that it ruined a precious piece of art and that it was flat-out vicious. Not to condemn all vegans, of course, but the militant fringe within any group needs to be called out for what it usually is: gutless, fly-by-night cowards.
I saw similar cowardice this election season, with the surgical cutting out of messages from many signs posted in people's front yards and on street corners. Through their own militant, Orwellian lenses, members of the fringe often believe their voices supersede all, public or private property be damned. If they disagree with your message, rather than reason, they destroy it. Case in point: this destruction.
I contacted Yeganeh to let her know what they had done to her husband's work. She was upset, but is hopeful that it can be redone.
In the meantime, to the vegan vandals that did this, trust me, I'm not loving you at all right now.

ISLAMABAD — An independent rights group in Pakistan said Monday that the country has failed to make progress on several issues over the past year, ranging from forced disappearances to women's rights and protection of religious minorities.
The damning report card issued by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says people continue to disappear, sometimes because they criticize the military or advocate better relations with neighboring India.
It said a controversial blasphemy law continues to be misused, especially against dissidents, with cases in which mere accusations that someone committed blasphemy against Islam led to deadly mob violence. While deaths directly linked to acts of terrorism declined in 2017, the report says attacks against minorities were on the rise.
The 296-page report was dedicated to one of the commission's founders, Asma Jahangir, whose death in February generated a worldwide outpouring of grief and accolades for the 66-year-old activist.
Monday's report also took aim at religious bigotry in Pakistan and the government's reluctance to push back against religious zealots. It said conservative groups continue to resist laws aimed at curbing violence against women, giving greater rights to women and reducing gender segregation.
"Freedom of expression and freedom of association is under attack, except for those who carry the religious banner," commission spokesman I.A. Rehman said at the release of the report, which accused Pakistani authorities of ignoring "intolerance and extremism."
The report pointed to a few signs of progress, including a "landmark development" in the country's largest province, Punjab, where authorities now accept marriage licenses within the Sikh community at the local level, giving the unions protection under the law.
But it said religious minorities continue to be targeted by extremists, citing attacks on Shiites, Christians falsely accused of blasphemy against Islam, and Ahmedis, a sect reviled by mainstream Muslims as heretics. Gunmen attacked Christian worshippers as they left Sunday services in Quetta a day before the report was released, killing two and wounding five others.
"In a year when freedom of thought, conscience and religion continued to be stifled, incitement to hatred and bigotry increased, and tolerance receded even further," the report said.
Last year was a troubling year for activists, journalists and bloggers who challenged Pakistan's military. Several were detained, including five bloggers who subsequently fled the country after their release. From exile, some of them said their captors were agents of Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI. The agency routinely refuses to comment on accusations it is behind the disappearances. The bloggers were also threatened with charges of blasphemy.
In December, Raza Mehmood Khan, an activist who worked with schoolchildren on both sides of the border to foster better relations with India was picked up by several men believed to be from the ISI after leaving a meeting that criticized religious extremism.
In recent weeks, Pakistan's Geo Television has been forced off the air in much of the country. Many activists have blamed this on the military, which took umbrage when the outlet criticized the country's security institutions.
"Press freedom is under attack in Pakistan and the situation has worsened in the last few years, with attacks against journalists intensifying, especially those orchestrated by the powerful military establishment," said Taha Siddiqui, a journalist who was forced into exile after an attempted kidnapping earlier this year. He blamed the ISI, which denied any involvement.
"Earlier, journalists were attacked, abducted or killed __ now channels like Geo News, and even news articles are going missing," said Siddiqui, who was the Islamabad bureau chief of a New Delhi-based TV network. He also worked for France 24.
Last year, a government-mandated commission on enforced disappearances received 868 new cases, more than in two previous years, the report said. The commission located 555 of the disappeared but the remaining 313 are still missing.
"Journalists and bloggers continue to sustain threats, attacks and abductions and blasphemy law serves to coerce people into silence," the report said.
