Laboratory director: Aaruni Khanolkar, MBBS, PhDPhone: 312.227.6151
The Genetics Laboratories offer cytogenetic, molecular and biochemical testing for the diagnosis of inherited disorders, and includes the areas of cytogenetics and biochemistry.
The cytogenetics laboratory performs the preparation of chromosomes from patient material and the study of chromosome morphology. Chromosome abnormalities are detected in approximately one of 150 live births and are the leading known cause of intellectual disabilities. In addition to the morphologic evaluation of chromosomes, the lab also performs the molecular cytogenetics technique of fluoresence in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH analysis allows for the identification of specific chromosome abnormalities that are beyond the resolution of standard morphologic evaluation. The two tests are complementary and often both evaluations must be performed in order to completely access the chromosome architecture.
Currently the laboratory offers FISH testing for eight microdeletion syndromes (DiGeorge syndrome, Williams syndrome, Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome, Kallman syndrome, Wolf-Hirschorn syndrome, Cri-du-Chat syndrome, Smith-Magenis syndrome and Miller-Dieker syndrome). Specialty FISH testing is also performed when warranted by morphologic chromosome analysis. In addition to chromosome analysis and FISH, the laboratory also serves as a cell culture facility for specimens that need specialized (non-cytogenetic) testing.
The Biochemistry laboratory analyzes amino acid and organic acid levels and performs enzyme assays to comprehensively diagnose metabolic processing disorders such as phenylketonuria and galactosemia.
The Hematology and Special Hematology Laboratory performs more than 117,000 routine hematologic tests annually on blood and body fluids, including special tests such as osmotic fragility. The coagulation section offers routine and special coagulation tests such as von Willebrand antigen, ristocetin cofactor, inhibitor assays and platelet function analysis. Routine urinalysis is also performed.
This laboratory supports the Hematology/Oncology services by offering diagnostic testing for hematologic abnormalities. This includes the analysis of over 400 bone marrow aspirates and the many related studies required.
The Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics Laboratory (HLA) provides molecular histocompatibility testing (DNA-based class I typing, HLA-A, B, and C; and DNA-based class II typing, HLA-DRB1 and DQB1; at low and high resolution levels) that help physicians identify the best donors for their transplant patients. These types of tests are particularly important for leukemic patients who require unrelated stem cell transplants. These types of patients require donors that are very similar at the HLA molecular level.
The laboratory also performs molecular testing to identify the level of engraftment after the transplant has been performed (chimerism analysis by short-tandem repeats). The HLA laboratory also performs testing for solid organ transplant patients (antibody screening and antibody specificity by flow cytometry analysis).
The Microbiology Laboratory offers testing for medically important pathogens including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Culture isolation, identification, antimicrobial susceptibility, antibody and molecular diagnostic assays for infectious diseases such as viral DNA/RNA detection, and other molecular genetic disorders are also offered.
Special Infectious Disease Laboratory performs tests for the indication of potential HIV-infected patients, monitoring efficacy of antiviral drug therapy, the detection of antiviral drug resistant viruses and the identification of other HIV-related opportunistic infections. The laboratory also participates in AIDS Clinical Treatment Groups (ACTG) in carrying out various clinical protocols as well as helps to adapt and develop new molecular diagnostic methods for the detection of HIV infection and related diseases.

Earlier this month, Christian Security Network, an organization dedicated to helping churches and other Christian affiliated facilities become safer and more secure, released a report detailing crimes against Christian organizations in 2010.
The report, "Crimes against Christian Organizations in the United States -2010," which was independently compiled by the organization, shows that many crimes against churches increased between 2009 and 2010. Among the crimes that saw a sharp increase in 2010 were burglary, theft and internal theft, which combined costs churches nearly $20 million in damage. Though it only increased slightly in 2010, incidents of arson were also costly to churches nationwide, inflicting more than $3 million in damage, according to the report.
While the Federal Bureau of Investigation tracks crimes against churches and other houses of worship in its annual report on hate crime statistics, CSN Executive Director Jeffrey Hawkins says they don't accurately reflect all of the crimes that occur against Christian organizations. According to the FBI's hate crime statistics for 2009, 1,376 hate crimes were motivated by religious bias. Of those crimes, 70.1 percent were anti-Jewish, 9.3 were anti-Islamic, 4 percent were anti-Catholic, and 2.9 percent were anti-Protestant. The other 13 percent of crimes that were motivated by a religious bias were against another religion or multiple religions.
Hawkins, who also serves as manager of security management outreach for American Military University, said that there was such a disparity between these hate crime statistics and raw data from the U.S. Justice Department on crimes that occurred on church property that CSN decided to compile its own figures.
"We verify every incident that happens, either through a news source, a police blog or some other credible source," Hawkins explained. "So, the 1,783 incidents we reported for 2010 and the 1,237 the year before, we verify every single incident."
Hawkins added that even CSN's crime figures are conservative and that the underreporting of crimes against churches is troubling in and of itself.
"There are a far greater number of property crimes than we could ever track, so what strikes us is that there is such a problem and that it's so underreported, both in terms of what the government reports and really in terms of what the media reports," Hawkins said.
According to the report, the most financially damaging crime against churches in 2010 was internal theft, which cost churches more than $15 million. To help prevent this, Hawkins recommends that churches implement the financial safeguards that any other business would.
"I think the problem that churches have is (they have) kind of a trust everybody mentality and we see this even in terms of doing background checks on people and everything else. These thefts are being committed by everyone from the church leadership down to the volunteer treasurer. There really isn't any one position that stands out," he said. "The average amount for these (thefts), over the past couple of years, have ranged from $200,000 to $300,000 per occurrence.
One of the challenges for churches, according to Hawkins, is that they are different from other businesses and organizations in that they are not out to catch and prosecute those who have committed a crime against them. Oftentimes, they want to help someone that has been caught trying to break into their facilities.
"A church wants to be seen as doing good not for being the victim of crime, especially if the crime is an internal crime." Hawkins explained.
In addition to internal theft, burglaries were another costly crime for churches in 2010. The CSN report tallied 970 burglaries at churches in 2010, resulting in more than $2 million in damage.
"Churches have great things to steal that they haven't had in the past 20 or 30 years. They have got laptops, flat screen TVs, sound equipment and music boards, those are the kinds of things we are seeing being stolen out of churches during a burglary," Hawkins said.
Hawkins admits that churches are playing a game of catch-up when it comes to security.
"Churches are just soft targets. In the past, they have never had to take some of the measures that every other organization has had to do," Hawkins said. "It's pretty common nowadays, that no matter where you go, you're going to have alarms, cameras, lighting, reinforced locks and things like that, but churches never had to have that before. They are very much behind the curve that we know in the security industry."
According to Frank Santamorena, a principal at security consulting and engineering firm Ducibella Venter & Santore and spokesperson for Church Mutual Insurance Company, houses of worship have historically been lax when it comes to security.
"They rarely ever use alarm systems, they don't use proper security measures to know if a building's secure or even when the last person is gone, they have poor key controls, they leave doors and windows unlocked, cars are left unlocked during services and meetings, I mean there is just a plethora of problems inside of these places," Santamorena said.
When it comes to numbers complied by CSN, however, Santamorena believes they don't vary that greatly from the FBI's statistics and classified them as being normal for what you would expect to find as it relates to crimes against houses of worship.
"Thieves go where there is an opportunity. Whether it is a worship center or anywhere else," Santamorena explained. "What really needs to be addressed is violent acts and other crimes that are really possible like for instance, the use of computers and digital information."
Santamorena said that many of these crimes, such as burglaries, could me mitigated rather quickly by taking several immediate steps which include making unauthorized entry more difficult by locking windows and doors when the building is vacant, trimming trees and shrubs, not leaving ladders lying around, and installing wire mesh fencing.
"Criminals need to work out of sight or in darkness and you can deter them with really good planning and foresight and lighting," he said.
In addition to making these simple security changes, Santamorena added that houses of worship also need to think about implementing security policies and procedures.
"They need to really ask the congregation who has the ability to give them a fundamental understanding of what needs to be put in place?" he said. "Do we have procedures? Do we have policies? Do we have processes? Who's really in charge? If something happens, do we know who's making the 911 call? When you are dealing with terrorism or any other act of violent crime, have you even called any of the emergency management teams around? Have you introduced yourself to any of the FBI agents or the sheriff's department or your local police? Remember, most burglaries, whether it's in a house of worship or anywhere else, are crimes of convenience and they are committed by amateurs."
By not presenting an easy target, Santamorena says that houses of worship can reduce their risk factors for crime. Santamorena also suggests restricting access to a building during low traffic times, implementing key and access card control policies and changing door locks every two-to-three years as a way to mitigate threats. With regards to preventing internal theft, he advises worship centers to conduct background checks on those persons responsible for handling finances and to also make sure that more than one person is on the account and has to sign off on large transactions.
One area that Santamorena believe houses of worship may not be focusing on, but that could have just as devastating effects as property crime is in securing digital data. In many cases, worship center retain such critical data as deposit information on their members, which could have dire consequences if a hacker were to gain access to their computer networks. To prevent this, Santamorena advises worship centers to keep their anti-virus software up to date and to limit their membership directories to name and addresses only. When it's time to replace outdated computers, he says they need to take a sledgehammer to them to protect the personal information inside.
While some of these tips may prove useful in helping worship centers guard against property crimes, Santamorena says acts of violence or terrorism are more difficult to prepare for.
"These violent acts are really impossible to predict and prevent," he said. "The one thing you can do though is establish an incident response protocol so you know what to do if an incident occurs. This should include procedures for evacuations and lockdowns. Routes and meeting places should be established. Can you even lock off areas inside your facility like classrooms or a daycare? You've got think about things like first aid and who is trained to provide it. You should have some form of communication procedures."

Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is not certain what her political future may hold. I not only believe her, but also think the wisest course for her is to take a break from the fray. Few other political figures have earned it more. For more than two decades, she has been living and working under almost unimaginable stress, and she has been doing it with rare grace and often unmatched skill.
Consider the rigors of Clinton's life over the last twenty years. Many psychological rankings of personal stress look something like this:
● Death of spouse
● Divorce
● Serious illness
● Chronically-ill child
● Getting fired
But what if we were to invent a list of the top-ranked political stressors. What might that look like?
● Death of someone under your authority
● A special prosecutor
● Losing a presidential election
● Public humiliation
● Facing a right- wing hate machine 24/7
Clinton's personal stress factors may not have been that high, but her political ones are through the roof. The killing of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and his colleagues in Benghazi, Libya, affected Clinton deeply. That much was clear in her testimony before the Senate last week. She didn't experience these events simply as a politician, but as a mother and a friend. As first lady, she faced several special prosecutors, the last one, Kenneth Starr, who would have stopped at nothing to humiliate her husband and her family. She lost a long and bitter presidential nomination campaign, and, since the early 1990s, she has had to deal with an industry of Clinton-haters who have accused her, among many other things, of conspiring to kill one of her best friends.
Through it all, she has done some remarkable things: making health care better for millions of children while in the White House, earning the respect of her Republican foes in the U.S. Senate and being an effective advocate for her state when many thought she would go "national," and as secretary of state, advocating for diplomacy and development as equal in importance to military power in the successful projection of American influence around the globe. She leaves behind a State Department that is stronger and an America more respected than when she entered the building. And she exits the stage as perhaps the most popular political figure in the country. Should she return to it, she will be most formidable. But first, some rest is in order.

Fed agency to be looked at in mine probe
by UPI
HUNTINGTON, Utah - U.S. officials will be investigating their own actions as part of a probe into the Utah mine collapse in which six miners remain missing.U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine Chao announced that an independent team would look into the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the way it responded after the Aug. 6 incident at the Crandall Canyon Mine. Three rescuers were killed 10 days later when a second cave-in occurred.The inquiry into the MSHA will be led by two retired agency officials who have solid reputations, the Salt Lake Tribune said Friday.At the same, the Tribune said, U.S. Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., said the line-up was not as independent as he would like to see. Miller is chairman of the House Labor Committee, which has oversight over the MSHA and will be the scene of a hearing into the disaster next week.

Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi, currently struggling to win the Democratic nomination for New York's governorship, yesterday rescinded a $90,000 grant he had promised to an abstinence-education program — after the head of the program, which also runs pregnancy resource centers, complained publicly about Planned Parenthood's promotion of bestiality.
Newsday reports:
Lorraine Gariboldi, executive director of the Life Center of Long Island in Massapequa, made the comments about Planned Parenthood to Newsday at the county offices in Garden City in February, immediately following a news conference where Suozzi announced grants for eight groups in an effort to cut down on abortions.The evidence for Planned Parenthood's promotion of bestiality is not as substantial as it is for Gariboldi's other accusations. But it is there, and any association with bestiality should disqualify Planned Parenthood from teaching children about sex.
Gariboldi's organization, which won a $90,000 grant for abstinence-based education, also runs "crisis pregnancy" centers where women are counseled against abortions. Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, which won $95,000 for sex education, counsels women on abortions and performs them.
"Working with Planned Parenthood did not change my opinion of the work that I do," Gariboldi said on Feb. 7. "Meeting their peer educators and hearing what they had to say confirmed to me that I'm in the right business."
"They're teaching young people to teach other young people how to be sexually active using deviant methods, in my opinion, of sexual behavior to avoid pregnancy," Gariboldi continued. "You can call it outercourse instead of intercourse, and bestiality in some cases, masturbation -- those kinds of behaviors they're promoting as good and healthy."...
After her remarks were printed in part on July 17, the steering committee for Suozzi's program, which he calls "Common Sense for the Common Good," advised withdrawing the Life Center's contract from the county legislature, where the initiative is stalled. Arda Nazerian, a Suozzi aide, said the group broke a compact to respect others' views. ...
Sister Mairead Barrett, a nun on Suozzi's steering committee, said she was in working groups with Gariboldi and heard no discussion of deviance.
"I was quite surprised actually to hear what this woman said and to read it because we were all in the room together," she said. "To me it shows a lack of openness and lack of insight."
Suozzi said his coalition included "people from all ends of the spectrum who are goodhearted people." He added, "These comments are just irresponsible." Full story]
First, as I noted in October 2004, there are two cartoons on Planned Parenthood's sex-ed Web site, Teenwire, in which humans get a bit too attached to animals. One of them, "Jim Dandy and His Very Gay Day," even shows, or at least jokingly pretends to show, human-animal relations as a viable sexual option.
In "Jim Dandy," a cartoon space alien explains human sexuality. "Being gay is a little like being left-handed," he says. "It's not something that you choose—it's simply the way you are. And the way you are is perfectly fine, no matter which hand you write with, no matter who you're attracted to."
Not being sure of your sexuality is called "questioning," the alien intones. He then narrates a visual demonstration:
"Humans may be attracted to their own gender..."
Notice how that's the first option Teenwire offers—homosexuality as default.
The alien contines: "...or the opposite gender..."
"...or they may be attracted to both genders..."
"...or they may not be sure which gender they're attracted to. It's normal to be questioning..."
Another Teenwire cartoon, "Sexuality Transmitted Infection Petting Zoo," shows a couple copulating next to a cow:
More telling is the February 2003 "Educator's Update" on the Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Web site. Included on the resource list of books that the organization recommends to educators — "for informational use only" — is Dearest Pet: On Bestiality, by Midas Dekkers:
Dearest Pet won notoriety after noted infanticide advocate and animal-rights activist Peter Singer reviewed it in the online erotica magazine Nerve. In another online article, this one on an animal-rights site, Karen Davis, describes the book:
Dearest Pet takes us on a journey of human sexual interest in and use of nonhuman animals as documented in art, literature, court records, personal confessions, veterinary files, and popular culture through history up to the present. Dekkers forces us to look at some old things in a new way. He says, for instance, that since the God of the Christians, like Zeus of the Olympians, once descended in the form of a bird to know a woman-the story of Leda and the Swan and the story of the Virgin Mary being visited by the Holy Spirit in the form of a Dove--Christianity "is founded on bestiality" (9). Of the perennial sexual abuse of farmed animals, Dekkers says that girls "have less opportunity than boys, if only because almost all animals are of their own sex: cows, ewes, sows, chickens, nanny-goats" (137), and that "Since animal abuse has been institutionalized in our society in the food industry, it cannot be difficult for sadism to find satisfaction" (147). Dekkers does not argue that human imposed sex with farmed animals per se is sadism; however, any sex with small animals such as chickens and rabbits, he says, "automatically involves sadism" (146). ...I cannot think of any legitimate reason why Planned Parenthood, which received well over a quarter-billion dollars in taxpayer funding last year alone, should be recommending such a disgusting and blasphemous book "for informational purposes" or for any purposes.
Even while noting that the sex life of domestic animals is "completely organized by human beings" (178), raising the question of whether the consent of a domestic animal is ever possible under any circumstances, desire notwithstanding, Dekkers says that "as long as none of those involved suffers pain, no form of sex should be seen as pathological, bad or mad" (148).

Blueberry cornmeal brown butter crumb bars (whew, what a mouthful)
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I first made these bars in the dead of winter when a bag of wild blueberries for the end of summer fell out of my freezer. I blind bake the cornmeal crust so that it doesn't get soggy from the berries as they bake.
In the summer, I simplify the recipe. I skip the bottom crust, double the berries and other filling ingredients (try raspberries), and top the whole thing with the brown butter crumb topping. And then I call it a crumble.
The cornmeal crust is adapted from Alice Medrich's lemon bars (in Chocolate and the Art of Low-fat Desserts). The idea of browning the butter for the topping comes from the blog "une gamine dans la cuisine."
If you've never browned butter - do it and then add it to anything. Brownies? Blondies? Pasta? Yes, yes, yes. —zahavah
Makes 9 square bars (or 16 tiny ones)
Cornmeal crust
- 1 cup sifted white flour
- 1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon yogurt (I use non-fat)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Berry filling and brown butter crumb topping
- 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 lemon (for zest and juice)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup fine yellow cornmeal
- 1-2 pinches salt
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and put a rack in the upper 1/3 of the oven. Grease an 8X8 square pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment.
- Mix together the crust. Stir together the flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking soda. Beat butter in another bowl until creamy (I use my mixer). Add the 1/3 C sugar and beat for about a minute until smooth. Beat in the egg, yogurt, and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients and beat on low until just combined. The dough will be sticky, so this is going to get a little bit messy. Scoop the dough into the pan, spread it around evenly (I just did this with wet fingers), and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top gets just starts to brown. Don't over-bake. Keep the oven on.
- Make the filling. While the crust is baking, mix together the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest (about 1 teaspoon) and juice (about 2 tablespoons).
- Make the topping. To brown the butter, cook it in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter starts to foam. After about 5 minutes, the butter will start to brown as the milk solids cook. Once you see little brown specks (the solids), take the butter off the heat. It should smell nutty but not burnt. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, cornmeal, and salt. Then pour the browned butter over it and mix everything together. It should be a little clumpy.
- When the crust comes out of the oven, pour the filling over the top (it should be a magenta color by now) and then crumble the topping over the blueberries. Bake for another 20-30 minutes until the topping sets — it won't change color much, so you'll have to test the firmness with your fingers.
- It's best to let bars to cool completely before cutting if you want everything to be neat. If you can't wait, try to hold off for at least 5 minutes before digging in. Cut into squares (9 or 16, depending on how big you want them).

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis has hit 37 home runs at the all-star break, tying the American League record set by Reggie Jackson in 1969 and just two short of the major league record set by Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds in the seasons when they finished with at least 70.
Sammy Sosa, who hit 66 homers in 1998, 63 in 1999, and 64 in 2001, never had 37 at the all-star break.
So that must mean Davis is guaranteed to hit at least 60 this season and become a perennial 40- to 60-homer man every season, right?

Not in the holiday spirit? I got a head start on my holiday decorating this weekend, which is always more important to me than holiday shopping. Besides, I'm more inclined to be a Cyber Monday shopper anyway. Who can shop if you're not in the holiday spirit? How can you get in the holiday spirit without having your home decorated?
As I gaze at my decorated tree from the local tree farm and my little angel collection, I am ready for a little holiday music to start my day.
Here's a YouTube clip from November 27, an absolutely glorious holiday concert in Dresden featuring the equally glorious Vittorio Grigolo singing "Panis Angelicus" (or "Bread of Heaven"). I was first introduced to this song as a child, from the Firestone Presents Your Favorite Christmas Music series as sung by Franco Corelli. My parents had all the albums. I remember sitting on the floor by the stereo speakers, listening over and over again to my favorites and singing along.
If you're not yet in the holiday mood, use this E-Z pass–a stunning venue, beautiful music, and of course, two lovely pieces sung by the incomparable Vittorio Grigolo.

Changing this would be a lot of work and might not even make it into gcc 3.5 (and would be an ABI change anyway). The implementation used for i486+ is the one which all other Linux vendors have standardized on, and which was "used" (but didn't work) for 386 in gcc 3.2. There is now (gcc 3.3) a version which works for 386, but it's up to *50%* slower, which is unacceptable. Someone may come up with a faster one, but the slowdown is still going to be significant, and will still cause ABI incompatibility. Accordingly, currently anything using the new libstdc++ is effectively 486+ only. This can't be changed without breaking compatibility with other distributions *and* cauing major slowdowns. An alternate, separate architecture for real i386 would have to accept this incompatibility and recompile all libraries and programs linked to libstdc++. ON another topic... >2 KDE (3.1?)?

Il Divo's Promise soars to No 1
Operatic quartet Il Divo have beaten Stereophonics to claim this week's number one album with The Promise.
It is the third time the group, created by impresario Simon Cowell, have topped the album charts.
Welsh rockers Stereophonics had to be content with a number two placing for hits compilation Decade In The Sun.
Cowell's influence is also felt in the singles chart, with The X Factor finalists' charity track Hero continuing its stay at the top.
It is two years since the last release from Il Divo, Siempre, reached number two in the album chart.
Previous albums Il Divo and Ancora, in 2004 and 2005 respectively, both reached number one.
Girls Aloud's Out of Control falls to number three, with Kings of Leon's Only By The Night rising to number four and Pink's Funhouse slipping to number five.
Irish singer Enya's And Winter Came is a new entry at number six, while Christina Aguilera's best-of compilation, Keeps Gettin' Better, makes its debut at number 10.
In the singles chart, US rapper TI's collaboration with Rihanna, Live Your Life, enters the top 10 at number two, while Killers have a new entry with Human at number four.

Lyon County commissioners look ready to approve all the contracts needed to help rearrange the Fairgrounds Anderson Building -- if a state grant is approved to fund much of the project.
In study session Wednesday, county commissioners briefly discussed some changes to the plan following last week's public hearing. Engineer Bruce Boettcher of BG Consultants says handicapped-accessible family bathrooms and at least one drinking fountain have been added to the current plan -- without adding to the current budget.
{wbty_audio audio_id="352" audio_title="Boettcher: ADA accessible changes won't break the budget"}
Estimated cost with the current plan is around $900,000. A dollar-for-dollar Jones Trust grant up to $400,000 is on board pending approval from the state, meaning the county would have to pay the remainder.
Lyon County tried unsuccessfully last year to obtain a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant to reconfigure the building, including moving bathrooms from the southeast corner to the west side, moving the main entrance from the south side to the west side and adding a kitchen. It's trying again this fall, focusing on handicapped-accessible upgrades instead of general improvements, after guidance the county would have better luck taking that approach.
In other business, commissioners discussed whether to join the Flint Hills Economic Development District. More discussion is coming during the action meeting Thursday.

French and German leaders commemorate start of WW1
Hollande says peace between countries 100 years later should be a lesson in Gaza conflict

French president Francois Hollande has commemorated the 100th anniversary of the first World War with an appeal to players in the Gaza conflict to put animosities aside — just as France and Germany have done.
Mr Hollande gave an impassioned speech today in Vieil Armand in Alsace, marking Germany's declaration of war on France on August 3rd, 1914. He was joined by German president Joachim Gauck — the first time Germany's head of state has attended the event.
Mr Hollande remembered the 30,000 men killed around Vieil Armand, known in German as Hartmannswillerkopf, but pointed out that France and Germany "who were regarded as hereditary enemies", reconciled.
He appealed to the world to use Franco-German peace as a lesson in peacemaking and "to stop the suffering of the civilian population", in Gaza.

When Suckers Finally Realize
The fleecing of the American public continues.
The theft takes different forms, but it all serves one purpose — to transfer wealth from the average Joe to the crony corporatists and their political lackeys. Here are but a few examples of how this has been accomplished:
- Bailouts for the wealthy and well-connected are paid for by the unconnected middle class.
- Subsidies are provided for unworkable schemes submitted by political donors and favorites. These schemes inevitably fail and the tax-payer is left holding an empty bag.
- Laws are routinely ignored when "friends" need help. In identical circumstances, would you receive the same treatment as Jon Corzine?
- Despite the biggest theft in world history, no one was prosecuted. The Savings and Loan crisis in the 1980s was trivial in comparison to the recent financial crisis. More than a thousand S&L executives were prosecuted.
- Ever-increasing sacrifices in the form of higher taxes from the productive sector are demanded to continue the plush living of the ruling class.
Capitalism and free markets depend upon trust, integrity, property rights and the rule of law. Without these, there are no advantages to free markets. Nor are there any incentives to create wealth. Instead, an economy becomes little more than a massive plunder scheme where the powerful exploit the weak. No economic recovery is possible under such circumstances.
When Suckers Revolt
As people recognize what is happening, they alter their behavior. Three reactions are to be expected:
1. Some will become discouraged when they realize the game is stacked against them. They will diminish their efforts to succeed, even perhaps dropping out of the game altogether. Given the enhanced returns to not working, it should not be surprising that this alternative has become popular.
2. Others will adopt the same behavior as the ruling class. They will exploit those lower on the food chain than themselves. Justice Brandeis warned of the implications of government misbehavior:
In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipotent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. If government becomes a lawbreaker it breeds contempt for law: it invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invites anarchy.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan described the process of declining moral values as "defining deviancy down."
3. Others may resort to acts of violence. These reactions could be isolated domestic terrorist acts against government and corporations seen as the exploiters. Or the acts might be broader based where the poor see fit to attempt to take from the wealthy. They also could manifest in wide civil unrest against the government if it is seen as the cause of misery or if it is seen as intending to default on promises made.
All of this behavior is anti-social and it is unproductive. It reduces the output of the economy, further exacerbating the problems.
How Does This End?
It is difficult to know how the current condition ends. Here are a few possibilities, with some opinion added:
- Will our ruling class alter its behavior? That is very unlikely. History provides no examples where power is willingly relinquished.
- Will our economy collapse? That is a likely outcome, although the process could take years or decades.
- Will social unrest occur? Probably. The government, at some point will be unable to honor its promises. It is broke and left with the printing of money as its primary source of funds. Stopping the printing means dishonoring promises and likely plunges the country into civil unrest.
- Will hyperinflation occur? If the government continues to print, that seems to be the inevitable result.
Issues That Need To Be Solved
We are too far into this economic disaster to escape without an economic collapse of some sort. Return to normal economic times is impossible without a complete and thorough purging of the economic distortions and capital mis-allocations produced from decades of government interventions.
The following issues prevent a recovery:
- No economy can prosper without a strong middle class. They are the productive class in society. They are the small businesses and job creators. Without them, society does not produce. Without production, there is only poverty.
- Inflation, the cruelest tax of all, is driving up prices while wages and salaries do not keep pace. For those without wealth, there is no way to protect against this theft. For those with wealth, they can rearrange investments to take advantage of inflation, particularly if they are privy to what is coming next.
- The economy is dysfunctional. It no longer functions efficiently as a result of the burdens it is forced to labor under. The price system has been made less efficient as a result of inflation, manipulated interest rates, subsidies, penalties and other impediments. It no longer provides the information needed by economic actors to make proper decisions.
- Regime uncertainty discourages action. When economic actors are unable to judge the future, they pull back. Money goes to the sidelines or out of the country.
- US economic policy and the uncertainty of what comes next has been a great job creator for other countries.
- Economic growth cannot be forced by central diktats. It occurs only in a climate that is receptive and friendly to risk-taking. It is hard to imagine a worse environment than the current one. That is why there is no investment and no hiring.
What Is The Outlook?
There should be no optimism regarding government changing its ways. History suggests it never does.
The recent plunge in the gold market suggests government has gone all in in its attempt to continue exploitation. Chris Martenson commented on this event:
I am very disappointed by, but not surprised at, the latest transfer of weath to the bankers from everyone else. The most recent gold bear raid has vastly enriched the bullion bankers, once again, at the expense of everyone trying to protect their wealth from global central bank money printing.
Gold is considered a safe-haven against government plunder. It is one of the few escapes from fiat currency debauchery that the small investor has. Whether this latest attack on gold was to make the bullion bankers better off or to scare those trying to protect themselves against government exploitation is irrelevant. When government intervenes (assuming it did, and the circumstantial evidence is pretty strong) in markets in such a manner, it is no longer a referee. It has chosen a side and is a participant in the game. There can be no fair competition when one team owns the referee. That is what happens when government participates in markets.
Historians judge that it took Rome almost two hundred years to die. That determination depends very much upon what you mean by "die." Arguably Rome died much earlier than historians acknowledge. Rome was dead-man walking before the couple of hundred years it took for it to fall down.
The US is in similar position. Unless you believe in the miracle of sovereign resurrection, the US is over. The coroner-historians have not pronounced death yet, but they, like with Rome, are behind the curve. This dead man too will eventually fall down.

There are many kinds of businesses out there. Each will have a very different purpose. There are some that make you question their motives, while there are others that make you want to join their efforts. Any business that relates to the health and well being of humans deserves some recognition. We recently took a look at this very cool site called pastillas para agrandar el pené which is a website that has completely devoted itself to helping as many men possible about the world. Sometimes its not money that prevents people from being health. In many cases awareness is all that is actually needed.
The reproductive system is a very delicate part of the human body. If you don't use the right medication you can actually end up harming yourself more than helping yourself. Its never a good idea to self medicate. Always try and contact a doctor before taking anything new. There are also many new issues you run into if you are someone who has sexual relations with a lot of partners. Some men do not take the proper precautions in this area either.
The site mentioned above is a spanish site that promotes the use of "pastillas" or pills. They are really telling the world about their product because it seems like they really believe in it. Its hard to find a good product today. However with the power of the internet and the power of choice, its has now become a little easier. If you are a male, do us a favor and take proper care of your reproductive organs. If you have a wife, we are sure they want you around for many years to come so you can please them. That may not be their only reason, but its a pretty good reason. We want you to be informed, so unblock youtube with a proxy site so you can see all of their very helpful information.

Since the Republicans are poised to pass the Voter ID bill and Walker is ready to sign the legislation based on the absolute lies about voter fraud in Wisconsin, Democrats should get together to pass legislation where Republicans are performing sex acts on Capitol grounds with squirrels, chipmunks and people who simply are walking their dogs.
We need to stop the Republicans from having sex with animals in front of children.
There are thousands of cases where this is occurring, according to stories told by people who told other people. While there is no evidence, it has to be happening. Just ask a squirrel.
Seriously though, the lie about voter fraud continues unabated:
So it was not a surprise when the incoming Senate majority leader, Republican Scott Fitzgerald, told reporters a photo ID bill would be the first introduced in 2011. But a recent Fitzgerald statement in defense of photo ID, made to a Green Bay journalist, was an eyebrow raiser.
A Green Bay Press-Gazette editorial on Dec. 9, 2010 quoted Fitzgerald saying: "We continue to see these isolated incidents of people trying to vote five, six times a day; people voting based on some sort of fraudulent documentation that's offered…People think it's important they have open, good, solid, free elections."
Fitzgerald's allegation that people are voting up five or six times in one election is one we have not heard before.
Is that really going on?
We turned to Fitzgerald's office, where spokesman Andrew Welhouse couldn't cite a specific case. Instead, he said there might be cases in other states. But those cases, an anonymous allegation in Oregon and a claim in Alabama, have not been proved.
As for Wisconsin, Welhouse mentioned the episode in the 2000 presidential election when a Marquette University student claimed he voted four times. But he said Fitzgerald was not necessarily referring to that — though he offered that it's the "strongest case."
Finally, Welhouse referenced a Milwaukee Police Department report on the 2004 elections in the city of Milwaukee — an election plagued by vote-count discrepancies, documented by the Journal Sentinel, and allegations of voter-registration fraud.
As Fox News reporters imply with agenda… "some people say…."

Check is Not in The Mail in WorldCom Settlement
Matt Krantz
Citigroup might have agreed to pay $2.7 billion to ex-WorldCom shareholders, but if you were one, don't go shopping for your beach house just yet.
Not only will it be a year or more before investors see a dime from one of the largest securities class-action settlements, but it doesn't cover investors who might have filed arbitration cases against Citigroup, Salomon Smith Barney and its former telecom analyst Jack Grubman for recommending the stock.
The class-action lawsuit is against Citigroup for its role as the biggest seller of WorldCom stocks and bonds. It has nothing to do with arbitration cases involving Salomon Smith Barney or rosy research reports issued on WorldCom.
''This (settlement) really stands by itself with connection to WorldCom,'' says Joseph Tabacco, attorney with Berman DeValerio Pease Tabacco Burt & Pucillo, a firm that represents the Fresno County Employees' Retirement Association in the class-action case.
That's not to belittle this settlement. It's the first major break for shareholders since the implosion of WorldCom, which became a giant telecom company through many acquisitions that Citigroup helped finance. Unlike many class-action settlements that are soaked up by 25% legal fees, the lawyers in this case will receive no more than 6%. The exact fee must still be determined by the court.
What if you were one of hundreds of thousands of investors who bought WorldCom shares between April 29, 1999, and June 25, 2002? You're eligible for a share of the settlement. Attorneys and experts urge you to take several steps: **[see below]
- Watch your mailbox. Your brokerage firm should mail you a claim form, a document you must fill out to prove your eligibility. But relax -- it's going to take months. The court must still approve the settlement before the forms are mailed. The best thing to do is monitor developments at the class-action lawsuit's Web site (worldcomlitigation.com).
- Stay tuned. No checks will go out until all claims are in, and it could take months for all members of the class to file claims, says Brad Heffler, CEO of Claims Compensation Bureau. All claims must be verified, and the final settlement must be court approved. The pot could grow. There are 17 other investment banks that have a few more weeks to agree to the same settlement terms that Citigroup adopted.
- Keep your expectations in check. Despite the amount of the settlement, it will be divvied up between stockholders and bond holders. The $2.7 billion is a small sliver of the $181.2 billion the company was worth at its peak, before the fraud was revealed.
The big question will be how this settlement will affect the unknown number of pending arbitration cases against Citigroup. Investors have won awards in at least nine cases -- one for $212,412 -- but many more have been thrown out.
Some investors, seeing the size of the class-action lawsuit, might drop their cases and join the class. However, Alan Bromberg, a law professor at Southern Methodist University, says the settlement might give other investors the encouragement to press their arbitration cases.
''The companies that had analysts out there touting stock are the ones most affected and most likely to settle,'' Bromberg says.
**In contrast to the USA Today story, Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LTD LLP does not recommend investors to wait for a resolution. Investors who sufferred large losses, in particular, can often do better by opting out of the class action. Contact us for details.

Hannibal, I have wondered why you still post here with that flashing tag under your name. You have indeed become better and don't troll and parrot so much as you used to . . . but reputation, like a soiled pair of underwear, never turns completely white again.
On note of this thread - it appears the original poster has skipped out while bullshido sits around and debates for six pages. Perhaps it had something to do with the word "female".

HUNTINGTON -- Daniel Teters said he never thought LEGOs would turn out to be such a valuable learning tool.
But he was watching firsthand Saturday as his elementary students from Spring Hill used a LEGO robot to complete tasks in the 2012 First LEGO League Senior Solutions Challenge. The event was held in in Marshall University's Morrow Library.
"I went to summer training two years ago on LEGO, and no one realized LEGOs could be an educational thing," said Teters, who teaches at Spring Hill. "The big thing is critical thinking, and in Cabell County, it's all about creating critical thinkers."
Saturday's competition featured six teams of students, which ranged in ages from elementary to early high school. Each team had to give a presentation on a research project addressing a problem seniors citizens face that technology could help with. The Spring Hill Talented and Gifted Program, which includes students from several elementary schools, had the idea to insert a microchip into glasses and then have an app that could help locate the glasses if misplaced.
Another group thought of an app to help remind seniors who have diabetes when they need to eat.
Those types of research projects, though hypothetical, help get the brain waves flowing for the LEGO build, as students see their creations come to life using motors and computer programs.
Isaiah Clary, a fifth-grader from Highlawn Elementary on the Spring Hill TAG team, said he's had a lot of fun making the LEGOs come to life. The LEGO robots, though different between the teams, had to complete the same set of tasks to earn points.

Falcons Mourn The Passing Of Springfield Hall Of Famer
May 24, 2010 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Springfield Falcons News Release
It is with deepest sympathy that members of the Springfield Falcons organization extend their condolences to the family of Springfield Hockey Hall of Famer, Doug McMurdy, who passed away recently. McMurdy was inducted into the Springfield Hockey Hall of Fame in 2000 after playing a total of six seasons in Springfield.
McMurdy played in Springfield from 1948-1951 before coming back for a second tour of duty from 1954-1957. He played in a total of 286 games in Springfield totaling 85 goals, 182 assists for 267 points. He was described by his teammates as an excellent, play-making center that had a gifted touch off the face-off.
Upon his retirement from pro hockey in 1958, McMurdy continued to call Springfield home throughout his post-playing days.

But what happens when a programmer isfaced with inadequate hardware is that the cleanliness of the code goesdown. Ask yourself this question -- why don't we write in assembly languageanymore? It's not just because of having better tools (compilers andoptimizers). It's also because the potential performance benefit assemblycode might give us is not worth the difficulty of maintaining assembly code. Code written in the 70's was heavily optimized because it _had_ to be or itwouldn't ever finish. The trend in programming has been away from 'last bit'optimizing and toward efficient algorithms and clean, maintainable code.> If you manefacture anything in larger scale the manefacturing price is> everything.

I think by then (or at least shortly after then), almostall computers, embedded or not, from microwave ovens to supercomputers, willbe heavily interconnected. With luck, some portable language (like Java, butimproved in 38 years) will allow code to be much more mobile between them. Obviously, you can't design for this now, it's not here yet. The point is, you can't anticipate what people will want in 38 years. Soyou can do one of two things -- design in room for whatever they might want,or design for obsolesence.

I'll pass on the ramifications of the edlabel program by professing ignorance. I started this with a specific whine based on my not being able to load the distribution from a foreign partition. Let me generalize the install glitches I see in the shoehorn problem: *) A user has a PC with IDE CDROM, gets NetBSD on CDROM, backs up her system and installs a NetBSD partition. She then finds we don't have IDE CDROM support (or tape :-) and thinks, well I'll copy the files in DOS to the hard drive. Now she boots up in NetBSD, tries to get to the msdos partition. How can she get there? *) A user has the above situation, without CD. She downloads the tarfiles into a msdos partition using the free modem software that came with her machine, since she has never heard of `tip' much less how to use it to get the distribution into the BSD native partition. What could she have done instead? *) A user has an Internet account, and thinks, Oh Cool, I'll get The Internet un*x-like operating system, NetBSD! I'll just dial in, set my PPP numbers up, and transfer all that great code onto my PC. Now how does she connect? I can do this with FTP at work with a functional network, but what about the home PC? The 1.1 install allowed for NFS, FTP, tape, and floppy (ugh) installs. -- I don't speak (or work) for the Baltimore County Public Library. They keep telling me, "Shhhhh!"

At a special 'what's next' presentation held for media earlier this evening, the Walt Disney World detailed the 'Magic, Memories and You' show which is a fanciful slideshow of photos of guests who have used the Disney PhotoPass service that day. An intelligent computer software program selects 500 photos taken throughout the day by PhotoPass photographers and fits them into the 10 minute program that's projected onto the facades of Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and "it's a small world" at Disneyland. At the Magic Kingdom, a combination of sixteen projectors positioned in four different locations help create the show. Although concept photos were shown to the press earlier tonight, here is your first look of real photos from earlier tests.
Although we initially reported a start date of January 21 at the Disneyland Resort, the announced date at the press event was January 27, so we may have simply misread our source's handwriting (or the date simply changed). At Walt Disney World, the show begins on Wednesday, January 19.
Beginning on the respective start dates, Disney PhotoPass photographers will provide guests with an all new card design that explains the new show and what it will mean to them.
Also discussed at the press event were newly released details on the Fantasyland expansion (all of which we already provided here) and the official announcement that Star Wars Weekends will begin on May 20 (as we already suspected) and Star Tours II will open on May 20. We first reported back in June of 2010 that Star Tours II would re-open on May 17 at Magic Kingdom and May 10 at Disneyland. We still believe these dates to be correct and that May 20 was mentioned only to associate it with the Star Wars Weekends, much like Captain EO at Epcot was touted to return on July 4 when the actual date was July 2. We especially don't believe the attraction would open fresh on the first day of SWW without being tested by real world guests first. In fact, we even announced May 20 as the re-opening date first in March of 2010 and even noted then that it would be cutting it very close to SWW.
We anticipate a soft opening for Disneyland for May 4, 2011 (a.k.a. 'May the 4th').

Update #1: Walt Disney World has provided us with the following footage from the 'Magic, Memories and You' show. Unfortunately the audio does get a little messed up briefly, but it's a good demonstration of the effects projected onto the castle:

Top 10 Bargains at the Dollar Store …and What to Avoid
January 22, 2014
Yes, I love bargains. I will push my cart unashamed through the dollar store. But I've had to realize that just because it doesn't cost much doesn't necessarily mean it's a bargain. In my book, the item must meet certain criteria before I classify it in my "bargain" category: It has to be of acceptable […]

DeLand, Florida. DelTran Battery Tender® Continues to Lead the Charge!!
Deltran Battery Tender® has achieved the very first listing in the California Energy Commission Appliance
database for certified electronics, small battery chargers for Automotive and Power Sport Applications!
Deltran has achieved the first listing in the California Energy Commission
Appliance database for certified electronics, small battery chargers.
http://www.appliances.energy.ca.gov/QuickSearch.aspx (click on
electronics, small battery chargers)
Starting in 2013 all non-commercial battery chargers manufactured after February and sold in California must
conform to the new "Appliance Efficiency Program" in coordination with the California Energy Commission.
Mike Prelec Sr. CEO stated, "Battery Tender® has been supplying high-efficiency battery chargers for over 10
years to the European market with the CE certification. We have spent the better part of a year redesigning
our units to meet the new stringent standards of both California and Europe. The units have also been re-
qualified by Underwriters Labs and/or ETL."
The California regulation is designed to reduce the strain on the power grid caused by inefficient consumer
electronics. Eventually the rest of the country will follow suit!

I had a new battery fitted recently and since then the electrics have stopped i.E. The radio/speedometer/clock everything else is OK like the rev counter and the fuel gauge. I took it to the local garage and they tried to fit a sensor but that didn't work so they refered me to a firm that specializes in electrics for the likes of boats etc. This sounds to me to be expensive can you tell me roughly how much it will cost please.
