About The Animal Health and Nutrition Market
Enzymes are used in the animal health and nutrition market to allow livestock, poultry, aquaculture and companion animals to more readily digest and absorb the nutrients naturally occurring in grains and protein meals. According to industry reports, enzymes in the animal health and nutrition market are experiencing remarkable growth due to their ability to provide better nutrition and an improved environmental impact. Global sales of animal feed enzymes are estimated to have reached nearly $600 million in 2012, and are expected to grow 6 to 7 percent annually to reach more than $700 million by 2016, making it one of the largest and fastest growing markets for industrial enzymes. Given the trends of global population growth, increased meat consumption in emerging markets and increased grain prices leading to higher feed costs for producers, enzymes are an effective means of improving the sustainability of animal production both economically and environmentally.

In 1998, Speaker Newt Gingrich traveled to Ireland, where he researched his Irish roots, discussed the prospects for peace in Northern Ireland and even helped build a home in Belfast for a good-will project. Two of the sponsors for the trip were Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
As Newt Gingrich fights to stay in contention against Mitt Romney in the Republican primaries, he has faced many questions about the more than $1.6 million in consulting fees he got from Freddie Mac since leaving Congress in 1999. But records and interviews show that the relationship started years earlier, reports the New York Times.
While on the campaign trail, he has minimized his past connections to the government-backed housing industry giants, records show that, as House leader in the 1990s, Gingrich aligned himself with the two closely related companies on a number of key issues.
Will Newt Gingrich be the next Irish Catholic president?---New Republican frontrunner heads Romney, Obama in poll match ups
Will Newt Gingrich be the next Irish Catholic president?---New Republican frontrunner heads Romney, Obama in poll match ups
Newt Gingrich plays on racial, political and social resentments
Gingrich also worked with Fannie and Freddie on a number of housing projects in the U.S. and abroad, including Ireland.
The visit to a Belfast neighborhood in 1998 to start building a home for a low-income family was part of a foreign extension of an American program called "The House that Congress Built."
The Belfast project was sponsored principally by Fannie and Freddie, along with Habitat for Humanity and the National Association of Realtors.
Marianne Gingrich, Mr. Gingrich's wife at the time, joined him in Ireland, as did other members of Congress.
As the trip was considered Congressional business, public money was apparently used for portions of the trip, but the breakdown on the financing, and what part was covered by Fannie and Freddie, could not be determined.
A financial disclosure statement for 1998 that would show gifts and trips provided by outside groups was not filed by Gingrich that year, according to Congressional records, even though House rules appear to require him to have filed a report within 30 days after he left Congress under an ethics cloud in January 1999.
According to the Gingrich campaign, he was invited on the trip by Habitat for Humanity.
"Improving access to home ownership has long been an aim of his public policy," said the campaign.
Former Gingrich aide Jack Howard said he associated the housing projects more with Habitat for Humanity, a nonpartisan Christian group headquartered in Mr. Gingrich's home state of Georgia, than with the corporate sponsors Fannie and Freddie.
"It was a feel-good thing," he said of the projects. "I think Newt probably saw this as just a good opportunity to do something for Habitat for Humanity."
Gingrich undertook the four day visit to Ireland North and South in 1998 and visited the Inishowen section of Donegal where his ancestors, the Daugherty's came from. The name has various spellings there and is most commonly spelled as Doherty.
The name means 'the destroyer,' ironic given that many Republicans feel that is what he is doing to the party by slamming Romney, the likely nominee, at every opportunity.
Gingrich reveled in the name on his Irish visit.
"I've got Scottish MacPherson's in the family tree and they were the last of the Highland clans to concede to the English" said at the time. "my rebelliousness has deep roots."

nodyce necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 76 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
I need a 2-column webpage template created to generate subscriptions for my "Death of Forced Continuity" report, along with a striking, visual representation of the report itself (i.e. digital cover).
Death of Forced Continuity
I need a 2-column webpage template created to generate subscriptions for my "Death of Forced Continuity" report, along with a striking, visual representation of the report itself (i.e. digital cover).
The basic layout should be something like this:
...but obviously more graphical.
The headline at the top left should read: "Free Report: The Death of Forced Continuity" and there should be a graphical representation of this report to the right of the headline with arrows pointing to an email subscription form below the report. (Please use the same basic "call to action" text that's in the example page above.)
The webpage should leave room below the headline for HTML text (to be entered by me). Please paste in some filler text so I can see what it will look like.
It's VITAL that the email subscription form be "above the fold" in the design. In other words, when the design is converted to a webpage, the form should be visible without scrolling.
Above all else, the text on the site MUST be readable, and the subscription area where I'm asking for their email address should stand out.
You don't really need to have a complete understanding of forcedcontinuity to do this design, but if you want to educate yourselfthere's a pretty good article over at:
...that you can read.
As for the design itself, I'd like it to be fixed width, centered, with tables. I needto be able to tweak it a little, and I'm not skilled enough to editfull-blown, tableless CSS.
UPDATE: I had someone in my office create a quick mockup of the report cover to give you an idea of the look I'm going for:
Feel free to shamelessly copy this design or use it as the basis for your own.
- Visually striking design
- Readable headline
- White (or very light) background around any text (except maybe the headline)
- Complimentary cover design for the report itself
- The subscription area should stand out so that it's clear that subscribing is the desired action
- An overly "dark" design. In other words, don't go too crazy with the whole "death" part. (Hint: If the page would scare a small child, you've gone too far.)

The Age of Man
It's not always about money. Contrary to conventional wisdom and cynics, workers want to be kept on their toes. And it doesn't really matter if they are contingent or an employee; they want interesting, challenging projects. People want to make a difference. A recent conversation with Manpower CEO Jeff Joerres revealed that he is betting on the same principle. He is betting on people, on talent. The previous decade may have been about the power of technology. No longer. This is the human age.
People want to create and transform things, be they companies or something else. And of course, difficulties will arise because of the nature of today's economy and the workforce. Having multiple generations and cultures in one company can be complicated, thanks to a global economy moving at a breathtaking pace . But without capturing their innovation and ingenuity and bringing them to productive use, companies will not succeed, Joerres says.
So Manpower is devoting its resources to making this happen and creating a better organization for tomorrow. Hype? Or is it more than that? Interestingly enough, The Economist in March of this year talked about "the recent age of man." And scientists have picked up on the term, capitalizing on the way in which it dramatizes the sheer scale of human activity.
The staffing industry is in a great spot in this human era. It is positioned just right to engage the talent, promote it and use it well. All this could pay great dividends for those alert to being in the right place at the right time and doing the right thing.

Because women continue to face subconscious biases, they have to be especially strategic about how they ask for a salary increase.
"Discrimination…can emerge when women act in ways that aren't considered sufficiently feminine," writes Tara Siegal Bernard in a recent New York Times article. "When women advocate for themselves, experts say, some people find it unseemly, if on a subconscious level."
Here a are few of the most common negotiating mistakes that especially hurt women's chances of getting the raise they deserve:
Not asking at all, and not asking for enough. Research shows that women tend to negotiate less often for themselves than men and pay themselves less for similar tasks, according to the article. Learn your market value by talking to recruiters, searching compensation sites like Salary.com, and networking with both men and women, since women tend to have lower pay and lower expectations.
Not having a list of accomplishments ready. Having specific metrics to point to bolsters your argument for more money. Siegal Bernard recommends keeping a running record of your achievements and the praise you've been given, so that you have it ready when you need it.
Making the request about you instead of the employer. It's a good idea for anyone to frame the negotiation around the value you provide the employer, but it's especially important for women, who can be seen as unlikeable when they advocate for themselves. Using the term "we" instead of "I" can increase your chances of success, Siegal Bernard says.
Negotiating over email. Email conversations can easily be misinterpreted, so it's best to negotiate in person. That way you'll be better able to judge the manager's reaction and adjust accordingly. Otherwise, you could end up like one woman mentioned in the article who had her job offer rescinded after attempting to negotiate her perks over email.

Mbeki Recalls Gandhi Legacy
"I do not know of two countries that share a leader and hero like we do," said Mbeki. With his influence, thoughts and ideas, India finally gained independence in 1947. Mahatma Gandhi's larger-than-life personality has attracted a lot of interest among historians in much the same way as that of Dr Martin Luther King
(Mbeki has sought to broaden powerful South Africa's global trade outreach. Here shown, on a different occasion, with India's Singh and Brazil's Lula).
Visiting Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his host President Thabo Mbeki recalled Mahatma Gandhi's legacy and how its practice in today's South Africa, in a series of public events here.
The two leaders garlanded a plaque of Gandhi in Durban recently in a fitting tribute to the apostle of non-violence and peace whose principles of truth and non-violence, whose thoughts and ideas roused the conscience of Black South Africans. The influence of Gandhi in Black South African politics was also relived when Mbeki and Singh unveiled a plaque of Gandhi at Resistance Park where prominent South African anti-apartheid activists inspired by the Indian spiritual leader in 1946 briefly occupied a plot of land reserved for whites challenging the brutal and racist Ghetto Act.
It's becoming a tradition for Indian leaders and their people to travel to South Africa on pilgrimage visiting sites associated with Gandhi who once lived in South Africa from 1893 to 1915 and launched his passive resistance movement in Johannesburg on September 11, 1906 when he led protests against laws restricting the free movement of Indian immigrants. The protests happened just six years before the African National Congress was founded in 1912. Singh also visited the South African railway station where Mahatma Gandhi was thrown out of a white's only train compartment launching his political career, which led to the birth of India's independence.
"I do not know of two countries that share a leader and hero like we do," said Mbeki. With his influence, thoughts and ideas, India finally gained independence in 1947. Mahatma Gandhi's larger-than-life personality has attracted a lot of interest among historians in much the same way as that of Dr Martin Luther King, the Black civil rights leader.
Gandhi was humble and it is said that he often slept on the floor and cleaned his own latrine -unusual for a London-educated barrister who rubbed shoulders with heads of state and millionaires often winning their political and financial support for India's freedom movement.
Only six months after India's independence on August 15 1947, Gandhi was assassinated at a prayer meeting by a man who bent down to touch his feet, as if to seek Gandhi's blessings, before shooting him dead.

Obstetrician Ayse Akin fought for 13 years to legalize abortions in Turkey after seeing dozens of women die trying to perform them on themselves.
"It was shocking," she recalls. "They used chemicals from match tips, soap, or feathers. In one week alone at my hospital we had three fatal cases of self-induced abortion."
Now, 29 years after she achieved that goal, she is preparing to resume the fight amid signs that the Islamist-rooted government intends to effectively outlaw it once again.
She's not alone.
Thousands of women have protested across the country since Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan last month denounced abortion as "murder," vowing to revise the current law allowing termination in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
"There is no difference between killing a baby in its mother's stomach or killing it after birth," Mr. Erdogan said on May 25, in the first of a series of condemnatory speeches.
His unexpected campaign against abortion has opened a new chapter in a simmering culture war between secular, Westernized Turks and the pious majority that forms Erdogan's base.
"He's launching a new front in the culture war and I think politically this will serve him, because a majority of the country is probably against abortion," says Mustafa Akyol, a newspaper columnist and author of Islam Without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty.
Media reports suggest the government may set a new limit of four weeks, when many women may not know they are pregnant.
Molding Turkey along more religious lines
Erdogan's critics see the latest issue as the clearest sign yet that his Justice and Development Party (AKP) intends to remold Turkey along more religious lines.
The AKP has often sought to roll back the curbs on religion imposed by the country's strictly secular political system.
Most recently in 2010, the government repealed a regulation banning women from wearing Islamic head scarves at university.
"In the past, it was mostly about conservatives being on the defensive, asking for their basic freedoms," says Mr. Akyol.
Now, after a landslide election win last year delivered the AKP a third consecutive term in power, the conservatives are on the offensive.
"The government feels in a position of strength and is using it to put forth Islamic policies," says Ayse Önal, a journalist who supported the AKP when it first won power in 2002 with vows to steer Turkey into the European Union. "Because abortion is an issue of contention in the West as well, the prime minister is using it as an acceptable front for the general Sunni conservative agenda."
Erdogan's motivations, however, may be as much economic as religious.
He has vowed to lift Turkey into the world's top 10 economies by 2023, and often states his belief that women can fuel that rise by having at least three children.
In his opening salvo against abortion, he claimed that the procedure – along with Caesarean sections – was part of a plot to hold back Turkey's population.
"We have to know that it is an insidious plan to eliminate our nation from the world stage," he said, in comments that provoked derision from his opponents, but reflect the nationalist siege mentality often adopted by Turkish politicians courting popular support.
Critics: Ban would lead to unsafe abortions
Critics argue that an effective ban would not stop the procedure but drive it underground, causing deaths and health risks and deaths to women who seek it.
"The number of unsafe abortions in Turkey will increase, there's no doubt about that," says Professor Akin, a former general director of the family planning department at Turkey's health ministry and now a professor at Baskent University in Ankara.
She claims the AKP is also neglecting family planning programs aimed at forestalling unwanted pregnancies. Islam strictly forbids premarital sex.
Akin fears a return to the days of the 1950s, when abortion was outlawed and access to birth control tightly restricted as part of a population growth policy.
"In 1955, there were 500,000 illegal abortions in Turkey, and 10,000 women died," she says.
Turkey reversed this policy with its first family planning law in 1965, eventually legalizing abortion in 1983.
Before then, 250 out of 10,000 pregnancies led to the death of the mother – the majority caused by illegal abortions, according to a report by the Turkish Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
"[After legalization], all these deaths due to abortion disappeared," says Akin.
55 percent against a ban on abortions
It remains to be seen whether this argument will hold weight in the starkly polarized climate in which Erdogan has thrived as prime minister.
"Erdogan is a politician of controversy and confrontation," says Akyol, the columnist. "He's built his career as a defiant champion of the conservatives."
Comments by AKP politicians in relation to rape victims have heightened an already febrile atmosphere.
Ayhan Sefer Ustun, head of Parliament's Human Rights Commission, caused particular outrage when he said that abortion "is a greater crime than the deed of the rapist."
But yesterday, Health Minister Recep Akdag sought to dampen the debate by promising that the government would seek a "middle way" between the rights of women and their unborn babies.
Many accuse the government of cynically engineering the debate in order to deflect critical media attention away from a botched air raid by the Turkish military in December that killed 34 civilians.
"It's clear political manipulation," says Orhan Kemal Cengiz, a newspaper columnist and human rights lawyer. "[Our society is] discussing this just because our prime minister wants us to discuss it."
Will abortion prove to be a galvanizing issue for Erdogan and the AKP?
In one poll released June 11 by the Habertürk newspaper, 55.5 percent of respondents were against a ban.The Islamic faith itself is generally opposed to abortion, but there are varying strands of opinion, with many imams holding that the fetus is conferred a soul in the fourth month of pregnancy, according to Akyol.
Opponents to a change in the current law include prominent female Islamists.
"In this country not everyone is Muslim, nor do they all share the same opinion," said Hidayet Sefkatli Tuksal, an Islamist feminist writer, in an interview with Aksam newspaper. "We need to find an answer to the question: 'Why do women not want to have their babies?'"

I was recently watching the I Love Lucy Christmas Special. In this episode, Lucy and Ricky tell little Ricky that Santa Claus won't come and bring the tree and the presents until little Ricky goes to sleep. After he goes to sleep, Fred and Ethel come in with a tree and the 4 of them (Ricky, Lucy, Fred, Ethel) decorate it while little Ricky sleeps.
I've tried searching on Google to confirm if this was something people actually did back then. I also asked someone who was a kid back then if they did this, but they said they never heard of it.
Is this just something they made up for TV or is this something that was an actual tradition at some point in history?

CLARMEONT, Calif. – The MIT men's and women's track & field teams opened competition at the NCAA Division III championship on Thursday, with qualifying heats as well as the finals of the men's and women's 10,000 meters. Senior Jamie Simmons (Carlsbad, Calif.) was the top performer for the Cardinal and Gray, advancing to the finals of the 400-meter hurdles and running on the 4x400 relay that also qualified for the event final.
On the men's side seniors Benjamin Mattocks (Sharon, Mass.) and Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.) were able to earn their way into the finals of the 1500 meters and 3000-meter Steeplechase, respectively.
Simmons won her heat and had the third fastest overall time 400IH, finishing in 1:01.16. Simmons will run out of lane six in Saturday's final, which is scheduled for 4:45 p.m. PST.
Simmons then joined classmates, Portia Jones (Queens, N.Y.) and Martha Gross (Short Hills, N.J.) and sophomore Jacqueline Brew (Amherst, N.H.) in the 4x400 meter relay in the final event of the evening. The Engineers came into the event with just the 12th fastest seed time in the event but showed what they are truly capable of, improving on their season best time by nearly four seconds (3:47.22) to finish third in their heat and fifth overall. Tech will run in Saturday's final at 6:20 p.m. PST.
MIT's other relay squad, the 4x100 quartet of Simmons, Jones, Gross and Brew, finished in 47.83 seconds, landing outside the top nine that advance.
Serene continued his late-season surge in the steeplechase, finishing with the eighth-best qualifying time. Just one week after his MIT-record performance that pushed him into the national field, the senior posted a time of 9:14.72 to give himself a chance at All-America honors. The steeplechase final will take place on Saturday at 2:10 p.m. PST.
Mattocks and junior Kyle Hannon (Park Ridge, Ill.) were running the preliminary heats of the 1500, with Mattocks' time of 3:54.13 holding up to move on to the 12-man final. Hannon finished with a time of 4:18.73.
In the only final of the evening, senior Daniel Harper (Naperville, Ill.) and freshman Elaine McVay (San Ramon, Calif.) took part in the 10,000 meters. McVay, who was competing at her third national championship of her rookie season after running in the cross country and indoor meets, was the first to race. The freshman finished with a time of 37:00.15, good for 11th place. Harper was next up, looking to close out his career with his first trip to the awards podium. The senior nearly did just, finishing with a time of 31:08.02 to take ninth place, just under eight seconds off the All-America pace.

Tidwell steps down as Lamar athletic director
Larry Tidwell announced Wednesday that he is relinquishing his duties as Lamar University's director of athletics in order to devote his full attention to being the head women's basketball coach.
In the interim, Lamar President James Simmons has appointed Jason Henderson, the university's associate athletic director for compliance, to also handle the duties of athletics director.
"The main thing is that the jobs are just so big that you just have to choose," said Tidwell before departing for a Wednesday night speaking engagement at a Fort Worth area high school. "Having to oversee the operation of 17 sports and entire athletic administrative staff and – and at the same time – coach a basketball team, is an awesome task.
"Lamar University needs someone who can put full attention into overseeing the athletics department, and Lamar needs someone who can put full attention into coaching women's basketball. It just was not working trying to do both."
In joining Tidwell in making this announcement, Simmons said Tidwell will carry the additional title of executive assistant to the athletics director and will continue to be involved in public relations and fund-raising efforts for the entire athletics program.
"Lamar University has been extremely fortunate to have a man of the many talents that Larry Tidwell possesses," said Simmons. "We gave him the opportunity to serve as athletics director and head women's basketball coach knowing that at some point he would have to decide which job he wants to devote his fulltime attention to. Larry has indicated to me that his heart and soul are with basketball, and I fully respect that decision."
Tidwell, who has coached the Lady Cardinals to a 90-40 record, one NCAA appearance and one WNIT appearance in four seasons after coming from TCU, succeeded Billy Tubbs as interim athletics director on June 14, 2010 and was named fulltime director on Sept. 30, 2010.
Henderson earned a bachelor's degree in health and kinesiology with a specialization in sports management from Texas A&M University and he also earned a master's of business administration degree from Texas A&M-Kingsville. He has served as Lamar's associate athletics director for compliance since 2006.
"I want to thank Dr. Simmons for this opportunity to serve Lamar University as interim athletics director," Henderson said. "I look forward to working with the coaches, the student-athletes and the university administration in continuing the fine work done in the past by Larry Tidwell and Billy Tubbs. This is an exciting time to be involved with Lamar athletics."
Among Tidwell's accomplishments as athletics director was the overseeing of a smooth transition to Lamar's restart of its football program this past fall after a 21-year layoff.
Tidwell's 2009-2010 Lady Cardinals compiled a 26-8 record, the second-best in school history. He was voted the 2010 Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Division I Coach of the Year.
Tidwell came to Lamar in 2007 after serving eight seasons as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at TCU, helping the Lady Frogs achieve 173 victories and seven consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Prior to his arrival at Lamar, the Lady Cards had not enjoyed a winning season since 1994-1995.
A 35-year coaching veteran, Tidwell has worked in the Big 12 Conference, Western Athletic Conference and Conference USA as well as the Southwest Conference. His first Lamar team made a huge impact by winning 19 games, by capturing the SLC East Division championship for the first time and by advancing to the championship game of the SLC Tournament.

The first part describes a chemoselectivity study on diaryliodonium salts where oxygen, nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles have been arylated. Twelve different unsymmetric phenyl(aryl)iodonium salts were designed with a systematic variation of the steric and electronic properties of the aryl group. The chemoselectivity varies greatly between the nucleophiles but several "dummy" aryl groups were identified where selective transfer of the phenyl moiety was consequently observed. HRMS studies of the salts revealed an interesting ligand exchange between the aryl groups of the iodine under certain conditions. This will aid the understanding of the mechanism operating in diaryliodonium salt arylation reactions. The results will facilitate the design of catalytic systems employing diaryliodonium salts, as well as help in search for applications with polymer-bound salts.
The second part of the thesis describes the development of a new synthetic route towards unsymmetric diaryliodonium salts containing one heteroaryl moiety. The substrate scope of the facile one-pot protocol involves salts containing dummy groups with large steric bulk as well as electron-rich aryl groups. The utility of the salts are demonstrated in the arylation of both phenols and malonates where selective transfer of the heteroaryl moiety was consistently observed

Should be Best of Tucson consistent winner for all the special selections hand-picked for her customers. Learn a little about wines at the tastings or ask her questions when you shop - she has all the answers - really knows her wines! AND is super nice too! A pleasure to shop here and the quality of the selections is guaranteed to be a good place to get gift-wines without wondering if you did OK!
I stopped in from Alaska while visiting a friend in Tucson. Turned into a wonderful evening. Yvonne made me feel like I was one of the family. Great experience and I am going to miss the tastings until I can get back there again. It's on my list when I return.
Weekend wine tastings at CataVinos are fantastic. Along with your 6 tastes (amazingly priced at just $10.00!!!) you get gourmet cheese as well as palette cleansers. Yvonne also has a really nice assortment of reasonably priced cheeses, meats, and crackers for purchase to accompany your wine. After your tasting you can purchase a glass of your choice for just $5.00. Each week the wine list is built around a clever theme so you can go every weekend and be sure to taste completely different wines. I've gone there on a whim on my own, planned with friends, and had many personal parties there and I always bring out of town guests there. The atmosphere is lovely both inside the shop and outside on the patio. This is one of the best spots for Tucson fun and a great way to support local business!
Always a joy to stop in at Cata Vinos. Yvonne and the staff are always so helpful in helping find the right wine for my tastes. So many wonderful wine to choose from, and it isn't necessary to bust my budget on pricey wines. Highly recommended.
This is a wonderful wine shop with a variety of wines that are budget-friendly. Cuvee, the greeting dog, is super friendly as is Vino the cat. What could be better than tasting wine while petting a cat or dog? The personal attention Yvonne Foucher gives to each customer cannot be matched by any of the "big box" stores. Definitely earns every star possible!
Great wines, great prices, and best of all the staff and shoppe are animal friendly! Cuvee the dog and Vino the cat are wonderful additions to this lovely shoppe. Wines from around the world, fabulous bargains for Wine Club members, with an option to donate a small monthly amount to local charities. Do us all a favor and skip the Big Box Wine stores!
Fabulous neighborhood find! Friendly owner, great staff, and wonderful tastings, all for reasonable prices, and then there's the shoppe dog, Cuvee, who greets everyone with a full wag. The price for the wine tasting is very reasonable, and palate cleansers are included - then there's the best deal, buy a bottle of wine from the tasting and you get $2.00 off your tasting; buy a case and your tasting is free - what could be better. Yvonne makes sure everyone gets questions answered, educates you in an easy manner, and is always available during shoppe hours to help you select the best choice for your tastes. Please visit CataVinos so it can continue to stay open.
This is one of the best Happy Hours in Tucson....reasonably priced good wines and a nice selection of appetizers that are all good sized and delicious! Get here!
A wonderful place, Tucson is lucky to have it. Before you go to a big box wine store, stop here and you'll keep coming back. The owner is very full of wine knowledge and has never let us down with a recommendation. Go there!!!!
Okay but the food was underwhelming. When we went the waitstaff seemed to lack training. Lighting and table location was odd.
Overpriced wine and the worst hummus I've ever eaten! The brie appetizer is okay, but I wouldn't eat anything here unless it's happy hour, the food just isn't that good. I guess I should just say that it's plain bad.
Have you ever wanted to learn about wine without appearing ignorant around wine snobs? Well, I found Cata Vinos was just the place. Imagine relaxing in a comfortable atmosphere, sampling a variety of tasty wines. You will find the staff knowledgable & helpful, the patrons friendly, and the well stocked shop has something for everyone.....all under $15! Wonderful fun to go with a party of friends, although I'm just as comfortable going alone. Very welcoming.
A very well-kept secret! What a jewel. Most unique place for wine and wine tastings. Nice to know you are getting a good value (everything is under $15, but has to "pass mustard" to be in the shop) - even without the wine tastings! Highly recommend CataVinos!!
This place is wonderful. The atmosphere is warm and the staff are inviting (not pretentious). And you can't beat a wine-tasting for $10.
I enjoy visiting Cata Vinos but find it too expensive. $20 a couple adds up so I don't visit as often as I would like. Beverage House has tasting for $2 and they throw in cheese and crackers, too. The selection is great and Yvonne is very welcoming, however, I wish she would drop her tasting price.
Tucson's greatest little niche for wine! Great place to find affordable wines that you like (and not just the labels) ... and meet new friends, bonding over palates! Great place to take those out-of-town guests too, always a great theme tasting each week.
A great place to shop for delicious and affordable wine. Yvonne and her staff search the marketplace for those rare and up-and-coming wines to stock in the store and keep things fresh and interesting. Cata Vinos is out in front of the pack while the big box stores still lag behind the Tucson wine scene. Plus the wines are less than $15.
My partner and I love to start our weekends off at Cata Vinos for the Thrusday or Friday night wine tasting. Yvonne (owner) always has great wines selected for the tastings and we usually pick up a bottle or six from the tasting to take home and enjoy. It's a warm, friendly place were we can get together at the end of the week and relax or meet friends and catch up over delicious, very reasonably priced wines. Even though we live in Vail, we just have to get our regular Cata Vinos fix...it's definitely worth the trip.
This is a great place to wine-taste with friends as well as find wonderful wines at affordable prices. Yvonne and her staff are helpful and friendly. There's a large variety of wines, something for everybody's taste and pocketbook. The weekly wine-tastings are a great way to introduce yourself to the shop as well as meet your friends for a little socializing. For $10 you get 6 generous pours and, if you buy a bottle, the tasting is only $8. This is one terrific wine shop!
I HIGHLY recommend Catavinos and its owner Yvonne Foucher. Catavinos is a nice little bodega on the East side of town. It has a wonderful variety of foreign and domestic wines and a ceiling price, in the store, of $15.99. Catavinos offers a fine atomosphere for shopping, tasting, and learning about wines. Yvonne is a VERY knowledgeable and friendly proprietor who always has a smile and a tip on the latest tasty addition to her bodega. We live more than 20 miles from Catavinos, don't get there as often as we'd like, but still stop in to stock up whenever we're in the neighborhood. Despite not seeing us as often as her regulars, Yvonne remembers us, our tastes in wine, and greets us warmly. Don't take my word for it. I urge you to try Catavinos for yourself and note why it is a delightful difference on the landscape of Tucson wine stores!

LOCKPORT – A plea bargain may be on tap for Tyler S. Best, the Buffalo man who led Niagara Falls police to the body of 5-year-old Isabella M. Tennant, and to her killer.
In a brief Niagara County Court appearance Friday, defense attorney James J. Faso Jr. told County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III: "There has been some discussion. I'd like to adjourn this about a week, sit down with his family and maybe we can make some progress."
Murphy rescheduled the case for Friday afternoon.
Attorneys in the case are under a gag order and are not allowed to answer reporters' questions.
Best, 19, of Barnard Street, Buffalo, is scheduled for trial Aug. 19 on two felony charges, hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence.
Police said he was called by his friend John R. Freeman Jr. after the latter strangled the girl to death on the night of Aug. 26, while he was baby-sitting her in her great-grandparents' home on Sixth Street in the Falls.
The two carried the body into an alley between Third and Fourth streets, where they dropped it into a stolen garbage tote.
The next morning, Best went to Niagara Falls Police Headquarters and told police the story. He's been in jail ever since, and the 11 months will count toward whatever sentence he eventually receives. The maximum is seven years on one of the fewlonies and four years on the other.
Freeman, 17, of Sixth Street, was a neighborhood friend of Hank and Sharon Lascelle, in whose home the girl died after the residents went to bed.
Isabella's mother, Crystal Walker of Cheektowaga, had left Isabella there on her way to her job at a Niagara Falls bar.
After considering a psychiatric defense, Freeman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder July 3 and was promised a sentence of 20 to 22 years to life when he returns to court Sept. 5.
Also in Murphy's courtroom Friday, two 20-year-old Niagara Falls men were arraigned in the June 20 knife-point robbery and beating of a Niagara Falls man near the corner of 16th Street and Cleveland Avenue.
Tyrell J. Jordan of 18th Street and David Anthony of Ontario Avenue pleaded not guilty to first-degree robbery, second-degree assault and fourth-degree grand larceny. Murphy set bail at $100,000 each.
Jordan was out on $10,000 bail at the time of the robbery, as he had been arraigned Jan. 7 on a second-degree burglary indictment charging him with entering a house on Seneca Avenue in the Falls Oct. 23. Twice, Jordan rejected a plea offer with a seven-year maximum sentence.
After Jordan's June 25 arrest on the knife-point robbery, Murphy raised the burglary bail to $50,000.
Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann said because Jordan was free on bail when he allegedly committed another felony, and because he has a past violent felony conviction for a 2010 house burglary, Jordan faces mandatory consecutive sentencing on the two indictments.
That means a maximum of 40 years behind bars for Jordan if he is convicted as charged.
Anthony faces a 25-year maximum.
Murphy set a tentative trial date of Dec. 2 for the robbery case. Jordan's burglary case is scheduled to be tried Sept. 9.

Description: Societies around the world—both urban and rural—are increasingly multicultural and libraries of all kinds and sizes are adapting their services, programs, and collections to serve culturally diversified communities of users. "Multiculturalism," as defined by IFLA's Library Services to Multicultural Populations Section, is the "co-existence of diverse cultures, where culture includes racial, religious, or cultural groups and is manifested in customary behaviors, cultural assumptions and values, patterns of thinking, and communicative styles." Consequently, "multicultural library services include both the provision of multicultural information to all types of library users and the provision of library services specifically targeted to traditionally underserved groups." This inclusive approach is at the core of this year's theme, which will explore successful projects and initiatives implemented around the world to improve library services to their evolving communities. The International Papers Program provides librarians with an opportunity to exchange information about library services and collections throughout the world. The program also serves to stimulate the interest of U.S. librarians in international library matters.

'Never was a story of more woe'
When Romeo and Juliet meet at a ball they fall passionately in love. But their families are sworn enemies, divided by a bitter feud. Can their love survive against a backdrop of hatred and hostility?
The Heart of The Royal Ballet
Kenneth MacMillan's powerfully emotional Romeo and Juliet, an adaptation of Shakespeare's great love story, is a 20th-century classic. The ballet exploded onto the stage of the Royal Opera House in 1965 and received one of the most rapturous receptions of any work in ballet history. It has been at the heart of The Royal Ballet's repertory ever since, amassing over four hundred performances at the Royal Opera House.
Controversial Casting
MacMillan created the title roles on Lynn Seymour and Christopher Gable, who were both integral to his conception of the work. However, to MacMillan's distress, Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev were chosen as first cast for the premieres in London and New York, on the basis that their popularity would guarantee ticket sales. Seymour and Gable were obliged to teach the roles to Fonteyn and Nureyev, and made their debuts (as the fourth cast) at the ballet's fifth performance.
Music and Politics
When Sergei Prokofiev wrote the score for Romeo and Juliet, he faced a desperate struggle to keep it intact against Soviet censorship. Commissioned by the Kirov Ballet, the work in its original form was completed in 1935 but was denounced as 'undanceable' through fear of it being criticized as 'modernist', and wasn't performed until 1938. A revised version was created for a 1940 production, which eventually formed the basis of three popular orchestral suites. With its dramatic and famed centrepiece 'The Dance of the Knights', the work is today considered to be one of the greatest of all Russian ballet scores.
Choreographic Highlights
MacMillan's choreography draws out the emotional and psychological intensity at the heart of the story. Set against the backdrop of Nicholas Georgiadis's monumental designs, highlights include fierce marketplace swordfights and the three passionate pas de deux around which the rest of the ballet is constructed: the lovers' first meeting, the famous balcony scene and the devastating final tragedy.
The Royal Ballet's production of Romeo and Juliet runs from 19 September–2 December 2015. Tickets are still available.
The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Peter Lloyd, Lindsay and Sarah Tomlinson and the Jean Sainsbury Royal Opera House Fund.

In that show, what does the camera man do all the time?
Does he have a tent, do they swap out?
I assume he doesn't have to hunt and scavange for food and water... so how do they deal with the logistics of the camera man?
In that show, what does the camera man do all the time?
Les Stroud > Bear Grylls
I'm sure it is similar to how Survivor worked.
There are 2 cameramen in Man vs Wild, and they generally take the alternate, safer routes to wherever Bear is headed. The cameramen have everything they need to survive comfortably, and Bear is to never receive assistance from them unless his life is threatened.
I saw previews of the Man vs. Wild show and I didn't care for the guy doing it. Enjoyed watching Survivorman though (Les did all of his camerawork i believe). Glad that I saw on Les' website that
There's some good information about Man vs. Wild in this chat session from Discovery's website:
you mean "is for all intents and purposes"....
^^ ha! I knew some one would do that.. classic Lounge
I've only seen Survivorman once (and MvW fair amount more), but the jist of it seems to be that Survivorman is tougher because he has to do his own camera work, but MvW has the more insane actions. I wonder what kind of insurance policy Bear/Discvovery has on himself. -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif --
I was wondering the same thing when I saw him jump off a (claimed) 70' cliff into the river (episode where he was lost in the Rockies)
The coolest things about the episode I saw were when he built a shelter using sticks and moss and when he caught some trout by hand and then just bit into one of them.
That's the difference b/t MvW and Survivorman. In MvW, he has pretty much nothing except for the clothes on his back, a flint, a knife, a canteen, and maybe a backpack.
So this guy, Bear, was in both the French Foreign Legion AND the British special forces?!?
Bear also doesn't come up with the survival tips, they have consultants. Once such consultant has spoken out about the show because Bear would ignore him and do things that looked better for TV.
Yeah, what is his background anyway?
I like the Survivorman show much more than I like Man Vs Wild only because the Les Stroud show is more authentic. However, I think Bear is a HELL of an individual. He's not some lame ass host or anything. He's the real-deal-Holyfield of survival and he only does that crazy over the top stuff to make the show more interesting.
Yeah, Bear is definitely a bad ass. They need to have some sort of Bear/Les collaboration, I think that would be pretty cool. Up until someone got mad and pushed the other into a field of punji sticks or something equally as evil/handmade/awesome.
Hell yeah. Bear is a poser, he's about shock value, pay more attention to Les if you actually want to survive those situations.
If you act like Bear you will die of dysentery.
Or your oxen will die.
I was watching an episode the other day where we mentioned the crew had full protective gear but he obviously didn't. Like BuckG said I think it's like Survivor where the camera crew is there only to film and help in emergencies.
Les is a whiny pussy. Bear unnecessarily climbs anything - that makes him a badass. I lost all respect for surivorman during the lost at sea ep., where he boarded the ship because of a storm (but at least he didn't talk to anyone - oh, the horror). Bear would have swam home - than summited the nearest rock face - while eating raw meat. I seriously think he could kick Chuck Norris's ass.
Plus Bear's background is far more impressive than Les...
Add the peeing on his shirt to keep his head cool in the Mojave desert as well.
I think it's an excellent show, though I need to check out Survivorman (reading it looks like "Survivor woman") -- View image here: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif --
Oh c'mon, can't the man (or the producers) do a bit of research beforehand? How do you think he knows all those stories about stranded people in similar locales he's in?
I need to check out this show. On MvW, the show where he's on a Pacific Island is awesome, specially where he builts a raft, ala Castaway, and takes to the sea. When he spots Tiger sharks around him, his frightened look is priceless.
The sharks eventually go away and he spots a ship, calling its attention using his shiny knife (with the sand brougth from the island to polish it).
Survivorman? Never even heard of it... maybe I should.
And the raft episode is pretty damned awesome. I think they do make some realistic concessions to produce better TV.
Man vs. Wild is pretty awesome. It's not intended to be purely realistic, but he's got a few useful tips and Bear is indeed OBMF.
Holy Man vs. Wild sounds awesome. Why have I not watched this show before.
Oh sure, he could best Chunk Norris, but what about Mr. T?
But only if there were two cameramen there to save his ass if he got into trouble. Les gets the win for doing it all solo, and for knowing when to sensibly avoid a good chance of actual death.
Man vs. Wild might be a little more exciting as a show, because Bear intentionally takes chances that he doesn't have to. Les doesn't as much, because he actually is all by himself. Les's show takes more balls.
I like both, the Tivo has season passes for both and the fact that Les is FINALLY gonna make at least a couple more episodes is awesome.
I want an episode where they run into each other in the middle of a jungle somewhere. And then have to fight over bat carcasses or something.
Yeah each place Bear goes to they have a survivor consultant for that area (Who is credited on each show) who teaches Bear about whats available in that environment to survive on and what to watch out for etc. etc....
I have built a shelter using sticks and moss.
Separately, I have caught a rather large trout by hand.
Cooked it, though.
That phrase is, of course, supposed to be:
As for Education:
"What do you think of Western Education"
"Sounds like a great idea".
I bet you would be the type of backwoods boy who would not flinch if someone reported:
"That all goes well"
rather than
"That augers well"
Leaving out the definition of auger, which would, I suppose, be rather too much information.
(I secretly think you're a lose/loose swapper too!)
[didactic bastard]
Which is the one with the former SAS guy? I watched an episode of that where he was in the rain-forest and came down with dysentery. NASTY!
That would be Man vs. Wild.
-- Gandhi
I like Bear, but my natural tendency is to immediately assume that someone is a tool when they go on and on about being in the "Special Forces".
He doesn't really 'go on and on' about it. It's mentioned in the intro. I think I've heard him mention it once in the show, when he was jumping out of a helicopter. Although that scene was fairly ridiculous, because Bear does this whole tuck-and-roll thing, while his cameraman clearly just strolled down with his steadicam. -- View image here: http://media.arstechnica.com/forum/smilies/biggrin.gif --
Hmmm.. I don't know about that.
You might have to focus on survival if you crash in the middle of the Amazon, but you are still going to have a lot of free time.
I've never really heard him go on about it other then in the intro, and it wouldn't be any different from someone saying they learned a lot of their skill from the Army, for example.
Speaking of cameramen, this reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend about Deadliest Catch. I hypothesized that, if one of the cameramen on that show were to die in an accident, due to the smaller number of people involved 'Cameraman for Deadliest Catch' would become the new deadliest job in America, so Discovery would have to create a new show with cameramen filming the original cameramen. If any of those guys died (which is possible, as the boat should be getting pretty crowded by now), they could end up with an infinitely recursive documentary.

Muslim Brotherhood Tallies and Keeping Egypt Honest
Last week's anxiety-ridden wait for the winner of the Egyptian presidential election to be declared was perceived by many as a game of shadow boxing between SCAF and the MB — whereby the former put pressure on the latter or gave itself the option of rigging the election for Ahmed Shafiq. As many have noted, only the MB could have had the national organization to collect the tallies of votes polling station by polling station, raising the question of whether the regime could have gotten away with rigging the elections if Aboul Fotouh or Sabahi had been in the runoff against Shafiq. Contributor Bilal Ahmed sent in his thoughts on the matter.
My initial skepticism regarding the Morsi presidency has faded in light of his announced victory. I was wondering if the nearly 800,000 votes that were voided would change the election results, but the commission reiterated the Muslim Brotherhood's announcement last week. Egypt's first president after the revolution is Mohamed Morsi.
The most striking thing about these elections, and probably one of its most important lasting effects, is the accuracy of the independent tallies conducted by the Muslim Brotherhood and its political faction the Freedom and Justice Party. There is no other organized political force in Egypt with the resources to accurately conduct polling at all of Egypt's 16 000 polling stations, and the MB has not squandered its opportunity to occupy this role.
The MB results for the Egyptian revolutionary parliament seven months ago and the first round of presidential elections at the end of May were more or less in line with the final election results. The results that were announced for the Morsi/Shafiq contest this morning only differed from the MB figures by about 0.06%, which ranks this election among the least manipulated in Egyptian history. Through this successful organizing, the MB has successfully implanted an idea in the media and political consciousness where its results can be trusted as accurate figures. This makes it difficult for manipulation to occur on a state level, as defying the Muslim Brotherhood figures now makes voter fraud much more evident.
Given the thousands of people who flocked into Tahrir Square and staged sit-ins when voting results were delayed last week, this is a severe political risk for institutions attempting to preserve their Mubarak-era privilege.
Last week's announcement of victory at Morsi's campaign headquarters put massive pressure on senior officials to not consider tampering with election results and cause a Shafik presidency. This pressure was felt in Tahrir Square as equally as it was in the Obama Administration, which announced that it would reconsider its lucrative military assistance package to Egypt if power was not handed to a civilian government. It is true that in all likelihood, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces is satisfied with a Morsi executive that is stripped of its power, but its obvious preference for Ahmed Shafiq was made much more difficult the moment that the MB's independent exit polls announced this morning's results.
It may seem odd to state in a political climate where many revolutionaries don't trust the MB and its FJP candidates, but the Muslim Brotherhood electoral results are trustworthy. It may, in fact, be the most trustworthy part of the entire organization and its most positive contribution to the ongoing Egyptian revolution. The Muslim Brotherhood now officially has a reputation of offering a source of accurate electoral information that minimizes the chance of voter fraud. If the Muslim Brotherhood continues to use its vast organizing network to conduct the equivalent of reliable exit polling (ed. note: to be precise, the MB gathered the certified tallies, signed by judges, at every polling station) at Egypt's 16,000 voting stations during every major election, then Egyptian political culture will gradually begin to shift away from the infamous rigging of the Mubarak regime.

A referendum is needed to recognise local government in the Australian constitution in order to protect federal funding earmarked for community services and infrastructure, an inquiry will be told.
A federal parliamentary committee is considering whether it's time for a national referendum to recognise the third tier of government in the constitution.
In 2011, a High Court ruling that a national school chaplaincy program was constitutionally invalid raised questions about commonwealth payments to local government.
Constitutional recognition of local councils would clear up the situation, the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) said on Wednesday.
ALGA vice presidents Troy Pickard and Keith Rhoades will outline their case for constitutional recognition in Sydney when they appear before the committee on Wednesday.
"The only way to protect direct federal funding for community services and infrastructure is to have local government recognised in the Australian constitution," Mr Pickard said ahead of the hearing at NSW parliament.
"Such funding is essential for all communities."
Mr Pickard said the ALGA's view was shared by an independent expert panel appointed by the federal government in 2011.
"(It) looked at all the options for recognition of local government and concluded that financial recognition had the broadest support and the greatest chance of success at a referendum," Mr Pickard said.
However, Mr Rhoades said it was important that a referendum be held at a time that maximises its chances of success.
"Holding a referendum, if unsuccessful, will achieve nothing and probably damage the standing of local government in the eyes of the community," he said.
Mr Rhoades cited concerns about the limited time left to complete the legislative requirements for the referendum and gain the necessary support of state governments while in an election year.
Referenda about including local government in the constitution were defeated in 1974 and 1988.

Taking influence from shoegaze pioneers and post-punk icons, Longwave got their start in 1999 when Steve Schiltz (vocals/guitar), Shannon Ferguson (guitar), Dave Marchese (bass), and Mike James (drums) congregated in a small New York studio to record demo material. Gigs in Lower Manhattan sharpened the group's sound, which melded sweeping melodies with touches of space rock, and Longwave soon caught the eye of local club owner Rob Sacher. The quartet then became the house band at Sacher's own establishment, the Luna Lounge, and also became one of the first acts on his newly formed label, Luna Sea Records.
Endsongs marked Longwave's proper debut in fall 2000. It was an impressive first record, full of lush string arrangements and heavy guitars that helped differentiate the band from such New York City contemporaries as the Strokes. Two years later, Longwave displayed a darker disposition on the Day Sleeper EP. Within a week of its release, the Strokes' manager asked Longwave to play three dates with his stylish five-piece, and Longwave's solid performance quickly landed them a permanent opening spot for the rest of the tour. Such an opportunity boosted the band's profile and led to a contract with RCA Records. By the year's end, producer Dave Fridmann (the Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Mogwai) had relocated the musicians to his Tarbox Road Studio in Upstate New York to work on Longwave's major-label debut.
What followed was the dreamy williwaw of The Strangest Things, released in March 2003. Another EP, Life of the Party, followed one year later, but founding members Marchese and James left the band soon after its release. Drummer Nic Brown and bassist Christian Bongers stepped in as temporary replacements, allowing the band to resume recording its sophomore album with producer John Leckie. There's a Fire was released in June 2005, but the subsequent merging of Sony (RCA's parent company) with BMG resulted in Longwave's exit from the label. Disheartened, the bandmates took a brief hiatus, with Schiltz touring the country as Albert Hammond, Jr.'s guitarist in the interim. The boys got back together in 2007, and a series of spirited writing sessions helped reestablish whatever momentum had been lost. Longwave signed to Original Signal Recordings in mid-2008 and released Secrets Are Sinister that November, having recorded the album in Brooklyn and Bridgeport, CT. ~ MacKenzie Wilson & Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Here is an example of what I am wondering about:
I wonder why or how someone could kill a person.
In this sentence we have two questions, why and how. They both require different supporting words: would and could. Here I have chosen could, but would also sounds fine.
Which is correct? Does the order of why and how in my sentence matter? Finally, what is the name for why and how in this sentence?
Edit: I think this is a Syllepsis, and thus correct.

"International capital is mobile, and is running circles around the world's governments, frankly" speaks an economist on Radio 4's Today as I type. The author of 'The Price of Civilisation', Jeffrey Sachs, appeals for the return of a humanistic and communitarian ethos in America. The blurb for the book includes
Sachs goes deeper than an economic diagnosis. By taking a broad, holistic approach—looking at domestic politics, geopolitics, social psychology, and the natural environment as well—Sachs reveals the larger fissures underlying our country's current crisis. He shows how Washington has consistently failed to address America's economic needs. He describes a political system that has lost its ethical moorings, in which ever-rising campaign contributions and lobbying outlays overpower the voice of the citizenry. He also looks at the crisis in our culture, in which an overstimulated and consumption-driven populace in a ferocious quest for wealth now suffers shortfalls of social trust, honesty, and compassion.This is, of course, true. And the Occupy protesters and the Indignant protesters on the streets today are essentially angry about the same thing. The balance of global power has slipped away from the political class and towards the global corporates, not in some sinister conspiracy but through the wholly natural behaviour of monopolies and oligopolies in excluding competition and strengthening their grip. We, the West, are spent-out; the corporates have squeezed about all they can from our markets. The burgeoning markets and debt-potential of the BRICs are now their focus, rich honeypots of spectacular GDP growth and rapidly expanding middle classes, young populations and a sort of societal energy that powers rapid change.
Corporatism and the power of Leviathan States and Super States are the enemies both of laissez-faire capitalism and classic Liberalism, but the targets identified by the protesters are as fatuous as these things usually are; "... the WTO, the IMF, the ECB, the UN, the G8, the banks". The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars but in our selves. Both strands of protest today are by essentially 'an overstimulated and consumption-driven populace in a ferocious quest for wealth', by a furious young fighting for material gain. In 1968 they fought for Love; in 2011 it's for Money.
"You are right to be indignant. The fact is, the system is not working right ... We've socialized losses and privatized gains. That's not capitalism. That's not a market economy." – Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate in economics, speaking to Occupy Wall Street.
