The potential of psilocybin to alleviate psychological distress in cancer patients is revealed
Improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in recent years have led to a marked increase in patients' physical survival rates. While doctors can treat the physical disease, what is not well understood is how best to address the psychological needs of patients with cancer.
In addition to the physical pain associated with cancer, many patients also experience psychologically harmful symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and denial. Social isolation, in addition to hopelessness, helplessness and loss of independence, has also been associated with significant psychological suffering in patients coping with advanced-stage cancer.
A recently published book chapter "Use of the Classic Hallucinogen Psilocybin for Treatment of Existential Distress Associated with Cancer," reviews the potential of a novel psychoactive drug, psilocybin, in alleviating the psychological and spiritual distress that often accompanies a life-threatening cancer diagnosis.
The chapter, published in Psychological Aspects of Cancer: A Guide to Emotional and Psychological Consequences of Cancer, Their Causes, and Their Management, was co-written by Anthony P. Bossis, PhD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Radiology, and Medicine at the New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD) and Langone Medical Center.
The hallucinogen treatment model with psilocybin has been shown to induce a mystical or spiritual experience and is a unique therapeutic approach to reduce the anxiety of terminal cancer patients.
"Mystical or peak consciousness states in cancer patients have been associated with a number of benefits including improved psychological, spiritual, and existential well-being," said Dr. Bossis.
Psilocybin (a serotonergic psychoactive agent) is a naturally occurring active component of many species of mushrooms, and is rapidly metabolized to psilocin, a highly potent activator of serotonin receptors. In addition to receiving the psilocybin compound, patients enrolled in the study also receive psychological preparation prior to the psilocybin dosing followed by a brief series of integrative psychotherapeutic sessions.
The chapter includes a clinical case vignette of a patient in the ongoing Psilocybin Cancer Anxiety Study at the Bluestone Center for Clinical Research. Participants undergo two drug administration sessions in which psilocybin is administered on one occasion and a placebo on the other.
"The primary objective of this phase I, double-blind, controlled pilot study is to assess the efficacy of psilocybin administration on psychosocial distress, with the specific primary outcome variable being anxiety associated with advanced and/or recurrent cancer," said Bossis. "Secondary outcome measures will look at the effect of psilocybin on symptoms of pain perception, depression, existential/psychospiritual distress, attitudes toward illness, quality of life, and spiritual/mystical states of consciousness," said Bossis.
The clinical vignette describes a patient who, over the course of three years, experienced extreme fatigue, pain, overall body aches, discomfort and psychological distress due to cancer and intensive biweekly chemotherapy. The patient became increasingly anxious and depressed and was enrolled in two study sessions; in one he received psilocybin and the other placebo. Despite continuing the arduous chemotherapy schedule, suffering from illness, and undergoing additional surgical procedures, the patient continued to report a marked improvement in attitude, coping, and mood 18 weeks after his session and stated, "my quality of life is dramatically improved," the patient said.

When your system arrives in the mail, you will need to first take it to a hair stylist to have it cut, thinned and blended into your own hair. Clean your hair piece with a mild shampoo, use cream type Conditioners that do NOT contain Lanolin, polymers, or heavy oils. Use leave on spray conditioner also to keep the hair soft and pliable.

And never use any alcohol based styling aids as they will dry the hair.We offer superior formulated products that have been designed for KTS. and we price these at fabulous wholesale prices.
6.How long does the hair replacement system last?
How often this happens depends on the sturdiness of the base, whether human or synthetic hair is used (synthetic hairs are typically more durable and less resistant to fading). Also semi-permanent hair pieces may need to be replaced more frequently simply because they are worn 24 hours a day and subject to wear and tear during sleep and showering. Of course, you can sleep and shower with your hair piece on if you use other methods of attachment, you also have the option of removing the hair piece during these times.
7.What is the French Lace Front?
If you're just starting to lose and want a natural looking front hairline, this is the way to go. Single hair front knotting with a naturally staggered front hair line. Size may be easily altered. The lace front is a very thin material that is located at the front of the unit form temple to temple and back about 2"-3"or so. The lace front is attached with a special lace tape, adhesive, because the tape offers a tighter hold and it doesn't reflect through the lace.Introduced in the past year, the lace fornt has been described as a breakthough technology in hair pieces and 50% of our clients order them. It is, however, extremely fragile and need replacing every 6 months. The client must treat it very gently. The lace front is attached with a special adhesive tape.You'd probably need to replace the lace front two or three times before the rest of the piece wears out.
8. What is the Scallop Front?
As the thin clear skin-like polyurethane material designed to be semi-circles along the hairline, thus giving a realistic appearance. This type of front is attached using a tape adhesive. You'd probably need to replace the scallop front two or three times before the rest of the piece wears out.
9.What is the Bleached Hair?
Bleached knots is currently to best known method of making the hair appear as if it is growing from the scalp, the bleached hair will still help to hide the knots in about 1/4-1/2 inch front, when a dark hair is tied to the base of a hairpiece with a knot, you can see a dark dot on the skin, especially when the base is lace. Lace cannot hide the knot in the same way a monofilament base does. Bleached knots, usually only done at the lace front and it helps create the illusion that your hair is growing out of your head.If your hair color is Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown or Brown, then knots that hold the hair onto the base will be changed from black to light brown and will be much less visible.

Ardelia Hall Collection: Munich Photos
Records: 71,420 · Complete: 100%
The following background information is taken directly from the descriptive pamphlet published by NARA for this title.
The basic authority for taking custody of property in Germany was contained in Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) Directive 1067/6, which directed the U.S. Zone Commander to "impound or block" certain specified categories of property, including those of the German Reich; the Nazi Party and affiliated organizations and their prominent members; and absentee owners of non-German nationality, including United Nations and neutral governments and individuals. The American Zone Commander was also required to impound all property that was transferred under duress or through wrongful acts of confiscation, disposition, or spoliation, and to block the relocation of works of art and cultural material of value or importance, regardless of its ownership. When the U.S. Army entered Germany in September 1944, provisions were made for the seizure of all categories of property, including that of the Nazi Party organization.
At the cessation of hostilities in May 1945, a number of temporary collecting points were set up by the 12th Army Group to store all cultural objects found in the U.S. zone in need of preservation or suspected of having been looted by the Germans. The seized property was turned over to the custody of the Office of Military Government, U.S. Zone (Germany) [OMGUS] when it became the successor to the U.S. Group Control Council, Germany (USGCC) on October 1, 1945. OMGUS was responsible for administering the U.S. zone of occupation and U.S. sector of Berlin, and for functioning as the U.S. element of organizations comprising the Allied Control Authority, the name given to the four-power occupation control system.
Within OMGUS, the seized works of art eventually came under the control of the Property Division. The Property Division, established in March 1948, was created through reorganization of OMGUS functions related to finance, the economy, transport, communications, restitution, reparations, decartelization, and property control. The primary responsibility of the Property Division was to formulate and implement policies required in the fields of property control, German external assets, internal and external restitution, and reparations.
By 1946 only four of the collecting points remained and were located in Munich, Wiesbaden, Marburg, and Offenbach. After June 15, 1946, when the Marburg Central Collecting Point was closed, the remaining three central collecting points (CCPs) became specialized. The Wiesbaden Central Collecting Point (WCCP) held mostly German-owned material, especially that of the former Prussian State Museums, the Städel Institute of Frankfurt, and the local museums of Wiesbaden, plus a certain amount of internal loot (materials confiscated from German nationals) and objects subject to restitution. At its height, this installation contained approximately 700,000 objects. The Munich Central Collecting Point specialized largely in materials subject to restitution, although in addition it contained the cultural objects of the Bavarian State Museums. At its height, this central collecting point held in excess of a million objects. The third of the specialized CCPs, the Offenbach Archival Depot, was devoted primarily to Jewish religious items, books, and archives. It handled more than 21/2 million objects during its four years of operation.
The transition from military to civilian occupation administration was initiated by the Presidential appointment of the U.S. High Commissioner for Germany (HICOG), who assumed his duties on September 2, 1949. OMGUS organizations were progressively abolished, and all functions were transferred to HICOG organizations between June and September 1949. The Offenbach Archival Depot was closed in June 1949. Upon the termination of the Property Division on July 1, 1949, the property control functions with respect to the liquidation of claims devolved on the Central German Property Control Agency in Munich. Its directorate was composed of the four Land Civilian Agency Heads in the U.S. zone. The transition was completed by September 21, 1949, the same day of the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany. OMGUS was formally abolished on December 5, 1949.
The Munich and Wiesbaden CCPs closed in August 1951, although some cultural objects remained at both facilities under U.S. control after that date. The Office of Public Affairs of the Office of the High Commissioner for Germany exercised residual restitution authority for these objects. Most of the OMGUS records, including those of the Property Division, were retired to an Army records center in Kansas City until they were accessioned into the National Archives in the early 1960s.
During the period in which they operated, the CCPs administered the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Sections of Bavaria, Bremen, Hesse, and Württemberg-Baden. They also received policy guidance from the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Section of OMGUS general headquarters. The composition of the records of the CCPs is unique among the records of OMGUS headquarters. The Offices of Military Government for Bavaria and Hesse created most of the records concerning the CCPs through their restitution and preservation programs from 1945 to 1949, but they also contain records of monuments and fine arts officers assigned to Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) and U.S. Forces, European Theater (USFET) Headquarters; records of Headquarters, Office of Military Government, U.S. Zone (Germany)[OMGUS]; records of the Office of the High Commissioner for Germany (HICOG); and some papers added to various files by the State Department's Arts and Monuments Adviser, Ardelia Hall, while the records were on "loan" to her from 1954 to 1961. Because Ms. Hall worked extensively with these records, which were combined into one body, they are referred to as the "Ardelia Hall Collection."
The records of the CCPs document the preservation of monuments and fine arts and the restitution of cultural objects by OMGUS and, much less adequately, the administration of the preservation and restitution program. A significant portion of this documentation is in German. In order to research restitution claims, monuments and fine arts officers gathered together intelligence reports, interrogation reports, captured documents, and other records concerning fine arts and monuments in Europe. These research files constitute a considerable portion of the records. Included among these records are reports and original documents detailing the looting operations of the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR), the involvement of Hermann Göring in the cultural looting, and plans for the proposed "Hitler Museum" in Linz, Austria.
The images are digitized from the first 152 rolls of microfilm publication M1946, which reproduced the administrative records and property cards from the Munich Central Collecting Point during the period 1945–51. The Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives (MFAA) Section recovered Nazi-looted works of art and artifacts from various storage areas and shipped the objects to one of four U.S. central collecting points, including Munich. In order to research restitution claims, the MFAA officers gathered intelligence reports, interrogation reports, captured documents, and general information regarding German art looting. The Munich records are part of the "Ardelia Hall Collection" in Records of United States Occupation Headquarters, World War II, Record Group (RG) 260. The table of contents for each roll of microfilm begins on page 10 of the descriptive pamphlet.

The dress is gorgeous, the only problem that I have is it needs a few touch ups. There is small pieces of extra thread hanging off of it, but nothing a scissors can't fix. Also make sure if you are getting it custom made that you know your measurments, because you can not return it.(1 Reviews) By Ti****ey 10/13/2014

A federal judge on Monday threw out former college athletes' claims against EA Sports, regarding the use of their likeness in past versions of NCAA Football and the now canceled NCAA Basketball. While the ruling clears Electronic Arts in a legal sense, the claims still will proceed against the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company, and the outcome still could have ramifications for the popular sports video game.
Correction: An earlier version of this story referenced an incorrect case number in a separate but related matter.
Ed O'Bannon (pictured), a former UCLA basketball star, and others alleged EA Sports conspired with the NCAA and CLC to force athletes to sign away the rights to their likenesses in perpetuity. Judge Claudia Wilken of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, found that EA Sports had not engaged in any such conspiracy, and dismissed the claim against it.
Wilken, however, did not grant the NCAA and CLC's motions to dismiss the suit, which involves matters such as right to publicity and antitrust law. That case will proceed. For gamers, a ruling in their favor still could alter how the rosters in NCAA Football are populated. Some potential scenarios can be read here.
The finding essentially means EA Sports didn't do anything wrong in following the terms of the license set by the NCAA and CLC. But those who set the terms may have done so in a way that violated players' rights to the use of their likeness, in more than just video games.
Reached by Kotaku, a spokesman for Electronic Arts said that the company is pleased with the decision.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
I knew it. I just knew Jason Aldean would be the guy. It wasn't that hard to figure out who actress Kristen Bell's mystery CMT Music Awards co-host would be this week after she started tweeting solid hints about "stadium shows" and "night trains." And on Thursday (May 2) afternoon, she made it official. "Holla!!! @Jason_Aldean and I'll be hosting the #CMTawards on Wed, June 5 @8/7c on @CMT! Get ready Jason it is going to be a blast!," she wrote. Aldean replied with a tweet of his own after seeing the picture of her wearing one of his shirts: "Badass shirt @IMKristenBell Lookin forward to hosting #CMTAwards with ya. now to finish my Veronica Mars marathon."
I don't know what's behind the decision to bring the two together, but even though Aldean has never hosted an awards show before, he has certainly brought home enough trophies to be comfortable on that stage. Last year, he won his own CMT Music Award for performance of the year for "Tattoos on This Town." I also know Aldean is a bit of a Veronica Mars fan, so he should be pretty psyched to hang with Bell — the hit TV show's star — for a few hours on June 5. And I'm sure the feeling's mutual for Bell. She hosted the show last year with Toby Keith and is already a big country fan, so when she tweeted on Monday that she was looking forward to getting back to Nashville to host, I knew it was meant to be.

Matt Rourk / AP file
An investigator views the scene of a school bus crash on Feb. 16, 2012, near Chesterfield, N.J.
Federal safety authorities Tuesday called for all U.S. cars, trucks and buses to come equipped with technology that would allow them to "talk" to one another to help avoid accidents.
The proposal was one of three the National Transportation Safety Board made Tuesday in its investigation of two school bus accidents last year. The main focus was an accident near Chesterfield, N.J., that killed an 11-year-old girl, but the board also looked at evidence from a similar accident in Port St. Lucie, Fla., that also killed a student. In both accidents, the school buses collided with trucks at intersections.
In a summary report (.pdf), the board recommended that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration develop standards for "connected-vehicle technology" — wireless components that would let vehicles communicate on the road. The full final report is expected in about three weeks.
With those standards in place, "NHTSA can then require this technology to be installed on all highway vehicles," Deborah Hersman, chairman of the NTSB, said at the board's meeting Tuesday. "This technology more than anything else holds great promise to protect lives and prevent injuries."
Related: Are connected cars dangerous or a safety feature?
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the trade group for most of the major automakers — which is working with the NHTSA on research and development of connected-vehicle technology — didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
But in testimony before the Senate Transportation Committee in May, Mitch Bainwol, the alliance's president and chief executive, raised doubts that such systems could be feasible in the near term.
Aftermarket component systems would need to be overhauled, a patchwork of state and federal laws would have to be unified and legal questions of liability surrounding operating cars with automated systems would have to be hashed out, he said.
"The question of who is responsible — when (and) for what — will need to be addressed," Bainwol said.
Last August, the NHTSA began conducting a yearlong study of 3,000 connected vehicles in Ann Arbor, Mich., using WiFi-like components that send electronic data messages back and forth and translate the data into a hazard warnings for the drivers. The test is focusing on safety at intersections, lane changes and rear-end accidents involving vehicles stopped at intersections.
"Vehicle-to-vehicle communication has the potential to be the ultimate game-changer in roadway safety — but we need to understand how to apply the technology in an effective way in the real world," NHTSA Administrator David Strickland said when the test was launched.
Regarding the two school bus crashes, the NTSB also recommended tougher qualifications for agencies that oversee the medical certification of commercial drivers. The summary report found that the driver of the bus in the New Jersey crash was fatigued and was using sedatives, and it said he likely wouldn't have been issued a license had he disclosed all the medications he was taking.
In an animated reconstruction of the New Jersey crash, NTSB investigators depicted the truck's speeding into the intersection just as the school bus was leaving it. The reconstruction shows the truck ramming into the left rear side of the bus, which spins off the road.
The truck driver was speeding and was carrying an overweight load in a truck that had defective brakes, the NTSB said.
And the NTSB also looked at the effectiveness of the seat belts on the bus in New Jersey — one of only six states that require school buses to have them.
The board said seat belts and shoulder belts would have helped to reduce flailing injuries, but it stopped short of recommending their mandatory use nationwide.
Instead, it recommended that school districts offer training to bus drivers, students and parents to drive home "the importance of wearing seat belts" in the states that do require them: California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
The National Association for Pupil Transportation said it was eager to work with the NTSB and the NHTSA "to evaluate the practicability of implementing the recommendations that have been offered today."

Tracking down property maintenance violations is taking a more systematic approach in Morenci as mayor Russ Sutherland heads out to look for problems.
Sutherland said the effort began at the north end of Summit Street by taking a look at house exteriors for violations of the International Property Maintenance Code. The city adopted the code in 2003.
As he works his way south, he's also traveling down side streets to the west of Summit, then he'll head down North Street, then check on residences on side streets east of Summit.
Addresses of houses with violations will be given to building inspector Kevin Arquette who will contact the property owner.
A few violation letters have already been mailed, said city clerk/administrator Renée Schroeder. Incidents have included tall grass, a foundation problem, bare electrical wires, and a problem with an exterior stairway, a chimney and drains.
The most common violation is from the "protective treatment" portion of the code that covers painting and siding issues.
The goal of the effort is to reach compliance, said police chief Larry Weeks, not to pile on fines.
Arquette is willing to discuss an issue with the property owner to come up with a repair plan. The circumstances of the problem will determine arrangements about how quickly the violation should be addressed.
"We recognize there are some hardship cases," Sutherland said, "but we want to see an effort."
He said property owners might be able to obtain labor assistance through the high school Volunteer Club or from a church group.
Aside from the systematic look through town, Sutherland said that complaints from citizens will also be forwarded to Arquette.
"They will be number one on our priority list," he said.
If a property owner disputes the existence of a structural problem, the case can be appealed to the Construction Board of Appeals. A $100 fee is charged.
When Sutherland's plan was discussed at the Sept. 27 city council meeting, council member Tracy Schell noted that the International Property Maintenance Code is very extensive. She expressed concern about how thoroughly the code would be enforced.

Caleb Edmonds (second from left) is the Big South Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week.
Liberty senior Caleb Edmonds has been named the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week, thanks to his individual victory at Saturday's VMI Invitational. This is the first career Big South Runner of the Week honor for the Flames' team captain. Edmonds is also a two-time Big South Men's Track Athlete of the Week during his four years at Liberty, capturing the honors on March 8, 2012 and April 4, 2013. It is the second conference award in as many days for Edmonds, who was named ECAC Division I Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week on Tuesday. Edmonds covered the hilly 8K course in 26:12.77, giving him an 18-second victory over teammate Ngetich Kipchirchir and headlining Liberty's 1-2-3-4 sweep of the top men's individual placements in the race. The first individual triumph of Edmonds' collegiate career came in a course-record time in the first-ever competition at the Vista Links Golf Course in Buena Vista, Va. A native of Cooperstown, N.Y., Edmonds helped the Liberty men's squad win the VMI Invitational team title with a score of 19 points. That put the Flames 32 points ahead of Big South and Southeast Region rival High Point's 51 tallies. Edmonds and the Flames are currently preparing for Saturday's Virginia/Panorama Farms Invitational in Earlysville, Va. The meet will begin with the men's 8K race at 10 a.m., followed by the women's 5K at 10:30.

Poker face: Patrick gives no hints on pick to replace Kerry
Kerry confirmed as Sec. of State Tuesday, resigns Senate Friday
Gov. Deval Patrick on Tuesday refused to give any hints about his appointment to be interim US Senator to replace Sen. John Kerry.
"I could, but I'm not going to," said Patrick, laughing as he stepped into an elevator to escape a small band of reporters.
"You keep asking me. Come tomorrow," he said.
Patrick is expected to announce his selection late Wednesday morning.
Patrick was asked if Carol Fulp, a well known leader in the Boston business community, a close friend of the Patrick family and a strong supporter of President Barack Obama who appointed her to the UN General Assembly in 2010, was his choice. He smiled and refused to engage because he wanted to give Kerry his day of recognition now that he had been formally confirmed to be Obama's Secretary of State.
He immediately sent his letter of resignation to Patrick, effective Friday at 4 pm.
Fulp's name was the latest to fly through Beacon Hill corridors Tuesday. She was last seen at the Statehouse last week, sitting with First Lady Diane Patrick in the balcony reserved for special guests during the Governor's State of the State address.
The more political critical question is who will run in the special US Senate election. The primary is now scheduled for April 30 with the general election on June 25.
Sources say Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-MA, will announce his candidacy on Thursday with an event in Springfield in the morning and one at the Iron Workers Hall in South Boston, his hometown, in the afternoon.
He would join Rep. Edward Markey, D-MA, who already has announced he will run.
Meanwhile Republicans are holding their collective breathe, waiting for former Sen. Scott Brown to throw his hat into the ring. GOP activists said Tuesday that Brown has been unusually quiet about his intentions.
If he decided not to run, names being thrown out include former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, although many doubt he would actually run, and former Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, who told WCVB she is hopefully Brown will run.
Asked if she would consider a run herself if Brown was not a candidate, Healey said it was premature to have that discussion.

New products and changes introduced over the last week include an emerging markets ETF from State Street that excludes the BRICs; Forward announced the reopening of its Select Income Fund; and Direxion announced that two of its ETFs will track a different index.
In addition, Pacific Life launched the Pacific Income Advantage annuity; Incapital announced its LEOPARDS program; and Jefferson National announced the addition of 23 new investment options to its flat-fee variable annuity.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) State Street Announces Beyond BRIC ETF
State Street has announced that its SPDR MSCI EM Beyond BRIC ETF (EMBB) is set to begin trading on Thursday, December 5. EMBB, which seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Beyond BRIC Index, seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index based upon the emerging markets of the world, excluding Brazil, Russia, India, and China.
Under normal market conditions, EMBB generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index or in American depositary receipts (ADRs) or global depositary receipts (GDRs) based on securities comprising the Index. The fund employs a sampling strategy, which means SSgA Funds Management, Inc., the advisor to the funds, is not required to purchase all of the securities represented in the Index.
2) Forward Select Income Fund Reopens
Forward Management, LLC has announced the reopening of the Forward Select Income Fund (FSIMX) to new investors. The fund had been soft closed due to inflows and market constraints. It invests in preferred and senior securities in the commercial real estate sector with the goal of high current income and potential modest long-term capital growth.
Since the fund's soft close on March 30, 2012, certain beneficial conditions have developed in the real estate investment trust (REIT) preferred market, such as improved pricing and positive net new issuance, which will give the fund additional opportunities to pursue its investment objective.
3) Direxion to Transition Two Funds to FTSE China 25 Index
Direxion has announced that on December 12, two of its leveraged ETFs, the Direxion Daily FTSE China Bull 3X Shares (YINN) and Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares (YANG), will track the FTSE China 25 Index. The FTSE China 25 consists of the 25 largest Chinese companies listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
YINN seeks to generate daily investment results of 300% of the performance of the FTSE China 25, before fees and expenses. Conversely, YANG seeks to obtain daily investment results of 300% of the opposite of the performance of the FTSE China 25, before fees and expenses.
4) Pacific Life Launches Pacific Income Advantage Annuity
Pacific Life Insurance Company announced the launch of its Pacific Income Advantage annuity, which combines traditional deferred fixed annuity features, including safety of principal, interest-rate guarantees, tax deferral and death benefit protection, with a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that includes a 6% annual credit for deferring income.
The guaranteed withdrawal benefit is included for an additional cost and allows clients to begin taking lifetime withdrawals for retirement while the contract continues to earn interest. The benefit includes a 6% annual credit that can increase the total amount available for lifetime withdrawals; this amount is called the protected payment base. Each year the client delays taking withdrawals, for up to 10 years, 6% is added to the protected payment base.
5) Incapital Launches LEOPARDS Program for Retail Investors
Incapital has launched its Incapital LEOPARDS (Long Execution of Preferred and Related Debt Securities) program, which is designed to provide retail investors increased access to preferred stock and related debt securities.
Incapital LEOPARDS security offerings are designed to typically have a one-week marketing period, similar to traditional retail notes, and have the flexibility to reopen multiple times to allow issuers to focus on the retail segment. Additionally, rather than the typical 30-day exchange listing period, Incapital LEOPARDS may have a 30- to 120-day listing period from the original settlement to accommodate the multiple reopening feature, subject to applicable NYSE listing requirements.
6) Jefferson National Announces 23 New Investment Options for Flat-Fee VA
Jefferson National announced that it has added 23 new investment options for Monument Advisor, the firm's flat-fee variable annuity.
The additions include 14 investment options from American Funds, including 5 managed risk funds that utilize a Milliman hedge to manage volatility and provide downside protection. Additional options with embedded risk management include Federated Managed Tail Risk Fund II and the Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust Global Markets Navigator Fund, a managed volatility fund. There are also 6 asset allocation funds from SEI and the Gold Bullion Strategy Portfolio from Advisors Preferred Trust.

In the early days of what is now "the Hamptons," we had celebrities, but they were few and far between, out here for privacy and, as far we locals were concerned, persons to be left alone. If we were in a restaurant back then and, say, Billy Joel were to come in and sit down with his family, we'd say to one another, "that's Billy Joel over there," and then we'd go back to eating our dinner.
It is, of course, not that way anymore. And to give you a rough idea of how this works these days, I would like to describe the experience my wife and I had last Friday night when we made a dinner reservation and then walked into Nick & Toni's restaurant to be seated by Bonnie Munshin in the first table on the left as you enter the dining area, which is, according to The New York Times, the pinnacle power table at the most celebrity-central restaurant in the Hamptons. From this table, and specifically from the seat I sat in, you can see everybody who is coming into the restaurant, and of course they can see you.
A week ago Sunday, Bonnie's picture occupied the entire top of the front page of The New York Times fashion and style section, and in the article, she was described as the most important person in the Hamptons. She decides where you sit at Nick & Toni's.
I was so elated to have this honor—it was a first—that I talked to her about the article in the Times and asked her what had come of it and had she had any interesting encounters about it.
"Everybody talks about it," she said, "and I have to say, everybody has just been really nice to me about it."
I thought, well, everybody wants this table.
I also learned in talking to her that she has been at Nick & Toni's since its founding 25 years ago, and at that point I asked her if she had been here before that, and she said she had.
"Remember Ma Bergman's?" I asked.
She did. Ma Bergman was the heavyset Italian woman who, along with her husband and children, ran the restaurant in this building before Nick & Toni's came along. Ma Bergman was a warm, friendly woman, and her restaurant was a local favorite. You'd meet the coach of the high school football team and his family here. You'd meet your dentist and his wife here.
"Do you remember that her daughter did her homework in this main dining room while we ate?"
"All her kids did," she recalled. "They lived upstairs."
We ordered our dinner. The restaurant filled with people. Some people came in to sit at the table behind us, the number two table. The olives and bread came. The drinks came. The salad came.
"I think that man sitting behind you is George Stephanopoulos," my wife said.
I had noticed when we started our dinner that the man in that family had tried to take the seat behind me but had nudged my chair, causing me to move my chair in so he could get in to sit at table two. We were now back-to-back.
"You think?"
"It looks like him," she said. "I'm pretty sure."
I had an urge to turn around and see if it was him. I remember him when he was in his 30s and a hotshot aide to Bill Clinton when he was President. I've watched him as a news broadcaster on TV. As a talk show host. I tried turning my head a little, but I would not allow myself to fully turn around. Since we were back-to-back, it would have meant making a ruckus, and how rude would that be? So I really couldn't see him, and so was neither able to confirm or deny the presence of George
We ate in silence for a while. I have never met George Stephanopoulos. I'd like to. I'd like to do an interview of him for the paper. I began to hope that someone coming in might come over to him and say "Hello, George, how are ya'?" confirming that it was George Stephanopoulos, or, even better, saying "Hello, George," and then seeing me and saying "Oh hi Dan, hey there's Dan, I enjoy your paper." And then I would be in the conversation and could turn fully around, but that didn't happen, either.
I eavesdropped a bit, or at least tried to. It was noisy in the restaurant now, so I only got bits and pieces. A pretty young woman on his right, who I could see by turning just a little bit, talked about private schools not in New York, and George agreeably came into that conversation. Then somebody talked about something else and there was a brief discussion about it with voices raised, but I couldn't make it out.
We finished our salad. Our main courses arrived. My favorite is the oven-roasted, crisp chicken with crushed baked potatoes and bits of pancetta. That's a favorite of a lot of people at this restaurant.
When dinner ended and I paid the check, I realized that I had to go to the restroom and that would give me the option to get up and walk past table number two, at which time I would be able to nonchalantly confirm or deny if the man sitting back-to-back with me all this time was indeed George Stephanopoulos, as my wife thought.
"I'll be right back," I told my wife, as I got to my feet.
"You just go," she said. "I'll wait for you out front." And so she got up too, and at that point I stepped out into the aisle, turned and confirmed that the man behind me was not George Stephanopoulos. I looked a second time on my way back. Not him.
"I think it was," my wife said when I got out front.
"Not, not at all," I said. "I know what he looks like. His face was too thin."
We walked out toward the car. I thought briefly about how much time had been taken up at our table about George Stephanopoulos.
"No, it was him," she continued.
And so we got in our car and drove back up Three Mile Harbor to home.
Well, now that I think about it, maybe it WAS him. As a matter of fact, now that I think further about it, it occurs to me that perhaps in recent years, as he's grown older, his face has thinned out a bit.
But then there was the voice. At times, I could hear the tone of voice he spoke in and it definitely was not the tone of voice of the George Stephanopoulos I know. But then, maybe that was the voice of the man sitting opposite to him, who just spoke normally louder than George Stephanopoulos.
Some final thoughts. We no longer say George Stephanopoulos. We say newsman George Stephanopoulos, as in "newsman George Stephanopoulos was seen eating with his family at Nick & Toni's."
And then there would be "Dan's Papers founder and editor in chief Dan Rattiner blah, blah, blah."
Off by the kitchen, however, I thought I saw the ghost of Ma Bergman, standing happily there in her apron, holding a tomato sauce ladle, surveying the crowd and wondering if the place would fill up to the point that her daughter would have give up her table, pack up her papers and go upstairs to finish her homework.

Christer Fuglesang – the particle physicist
Christer Fuglesang is not only an astronaut, he is also a scientist: a particle physicist to be precise. Although most of his time on board the ISS will be spent on construction assignments, he will also carry out some serious science during his mission.
The majority of astronauts come from a background of working as a pilot or an engineer, Christer Fuglesang is one of relatively few scientists. He studied at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and after obtaining his Master's degree in 1981 he began graduate studies in experimental particle physics at the University of Stockholm. To assist him in his research he also spent considerable time at CERN, the European Centre for Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1987 Christer was awarded his PhD and in 1991 he was made associate professor at the Institute.
These days Christer does not have much time for anything else apart from his astronaut training but he still strives to maintain his scientific skills. One reason is to maintain social contacts with his old colleagues the other is because he enjoys the creative thinking needed for science as astronaut training is more geared toward perfecting well-rehearsed drills.
Flashes in the eye or in the brain?
One of the projects Christer is working on is ALTEA, a study of the effects of cosmic radiation on the brain. Many astronauts, from the days of Apollo and Skylab onwards, have reported seeing light flashes when their eyes are closed, usually a few to several minutes apart.
Scientists have long known that the source of these flashes is the particles in cosmic radiation. However, many questions remain, as scientists still do not know which particles are causing the flashes or how they are generated.
"We do not know whether the flashes come from the eye, and consequently are caused by reactions inside the eye, or if they originate in the visual centres of the brain," says Mark Pearce, a research associate of Fuglesang who is also an associate professor at KTH. "Hopefully ALTEA will help us find out."
Does every flash mean that a cell in the retina dies? Are the flashes an indication of invisible damage that the high-energy particles cause in other tissues, for example in the brain? It is questions like these that scientists hope ALTEA will help them answer.
Earlier experiment aboard Mir
ALTEA was developed by the Italian Space Agency ASI. Its predecessor was another Italian study called Altino, an experiment carried out by Italian ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori, during his Marco Polo mission to the ISS.
"The ALTEA study fits well with Christer's research as he initiated a similar project called SilEye that ran on the Russian space station Mir between 1995 and 1999," comments Pearce.
ALTEA is a kind of helmet. It contains six particle detectors that together can make a 3D reconstruction of how particles travel through the brain. During the experiment the astronaut presses a button when he or she sees a flash and an EEG is taken of the astronaut's brain activity.
This experiment is important in preparation for longer duration human spaceflights on board the ISS and beyond the Earth's orbit. Hopefully the results of the experiment will also be of use for Earth-based medicine, one example being radiation therapies for brain tumours. The experiment will also be filmed for use in further education for young people aged between 16 and 20.
The ALTEA helmet is already on board the ISS. The Expedition 14 crew, which includes German ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter, are taking part in the experiment as will Sunita Williams, Christer's crew mate on board the shuttle and members of the Expedition 15 crew, scheduled to arrive at the ISS in April 2007.
A DESIRE for knowledge
Christer will be involved in another experiment on the ISS called DESIRE (Dose Estimation by Simulation of the ISS Radiation Environment). Although this is not a specific part of the Celsius mission, Christer has been involved in the DESIRE project since 2001 in collaboration with one of his graduate students. Basically DESIRE is an Earth-based computer model of the ISS that uses dosimeters - devices used to measure exposure to hazardous environments – placed on the ISS.
Software calculates radiation doses on the ISS and compares them to experimental radiation readings obtained from the ISS modules: Destiny and Node 1. DESIRE will focus particularly on Columbus, the laboratory module that ESA plans to send to the ISS next year. The model calculates what happens when particles hit the ISS and the level of radiation to which astronauts are exposed in different parts of the station.
"The first step is to calibrate the software," says Mark Pearce. "This entails measuring the radiation levels inside the ISS and comparing them to the measurements made in the lab."
The second part of the project will simulate the environment inside the European Columbus laboratory. "An accurate system for assessing these kinds of hazards will be extremely important for long-duration voyages such as, for example, a journey to Mars. Of course to achieve this it is vital to have dependable software." Pearce adds.
The DESIRE project is funded by ESA and the Swedish National Space Board.
On the Order of the Integral
A little-known fact about Christer Fuglesang is that in 1980 the physics section of the students union at KTH awarded him their highest honour: the Order of the Integral for his "remarkable contributions in the services of the section", a recognition of his work helping to integrate new students, and organising and leading the singing at student parties during his time at KTH.
Although he will have very different tasks to perform on the ISS, Christer this treasured memento of his years at KTH will travel with him on his journey into space.

Sangitha McKenzie Millar | Foreign Policy In Focus, August 29, 2008
Mamdouh Habib, an Australian citizen, was living in Sydney with his wife and four children when he took a trip alone to Pakistan to find a home for his family. When Habib boarded a bus for the Islamabad airport to return home, Pakistani police seized him and took him to a police station, where he was subjected to various crude torture techniques, including electric shocks and beating. At one point, he was forced to hang by the arms above a drum-like mechanism that administered an electric shock when touched. Pakistani police asked him repeatedly if he was with al-Qaeda, and if he trained in Afghanistan. Habib responded "No" over and over until he passed out.
After 15 days in the Pakistani prison, Habib was transferred to U.S. agents who flew him to Cairo. When he arrived, Omar Solaimon, chief of Egyptian security, informed him that Egypt receives $10 million for every confessed terrorist they hand over to the United States. Habib stated that during his five months in Egypt, "there was no interrogation, only torture." His skin was burned with cigarettes and he was threatened with dogs, beaten, and repeatedly shocked with a stun gun. During this time, he heard American voices in the prison, but Egyptians were in charge of the torture. In Michael Otterman's book American Torture: From the Cold War to Abu Ghraib and Beyond (Pluto Press 2007), Habib said he was drugged and began to hallucinate: "I feel like a dead person. I was gone. I become crazy." He remembers admitting things to interrogators, anything they asked: "I didn't care … at this point I was ready to die."
He was transferred back to the custody of U.S. agents in May 2002. They flew him first to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and then to Kandahar. After several weeks, American agents sent Habib to Guantánamo Bay. Three British detainees who have since been released from the prison described Habib as being in a "catastrophic state" when he arrived. Most of his fingernails were missing and he regularly bled from the nose, mouth, and ears while he slept.
Habib was held at Guantánamo Bay until late 2004, when he was charged with training 9/11 hijackers in martial arts, attending an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, and transporting chemical weapons. A Chicago human rights lawyer took his case and detailed all of Habib's allegations of torture in court documents. After the case garnered national attention through a front page story in The Washington Post, Habib became a liability for the U.S. government. Rather than have his testimony on the torture he suffered in Egypt become a matter of public record, U.S. officials decided to send him back to Sydney in January 2005 – over three years after seizing him in Pakistan.
Unfortunately, Habib's case isn't unusual. There's substantial evidence that the United States routinely and knowingly "outsources" the application of torture by transferring terrorism suspects to countries that frequently violate international human rights norms. As details of the extraordinary rendition program have emerged, politicians, journalists, academics, legal experts, and policymakers have raised serious objections to the policy. It has captured the attention of U.S. legislators, and both the House and Senate Committees on Foreign Relations as well as the House Committee on the Judiciary have held hearings to analyze the policy and examine related cases. Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE), chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the Democratic vice presidential nominee, expressed concern that "rendition, as currently practiced, is undermining our moral credibility and standing abroad and weakening the coalitions with foreign governments that we need to effectively combat international terrorism." As the public continues to learn more about the program, calls to end extraordinary rendition have increased, and the next presidential administration will likely be forced to take a stand one way or another on the issue.

In the wake of Chris Leitch's last-ditch tackle and ensuing red card, San Jose fought with only 10 men for the final 37 minutes of their season-opening, 3-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on Saturday night.
But to the Earthquakes, it felt like the defending MLS Cup champions were holding a man advantage for much longer than that.
A swarming RSL midfield did exactly what it set out to do against a rejiggered San Jose unit, dominating possession and creating chances that led to a pair of goals from Javier Morales and a third from Fabian Espindola.
"We were having trouble with second balls, just because they were putting so many (players) around the ball," subdued Earthquakes defender Jason Hernandez said. "It seemed like at times they had an extra man in the midfield, and they were creating trouble for us."
You could make the argument that the Earthquakes' defense wasn't as bad as all that, pointing out that Morales' goals came on a pair of unstoppable shots, blasted into the upper corner of the far post, leaving goalkeeper Joe Cannon with no way to stop them.
But after all the work that went into retooling the back line and reformatting the midfield to be conditioned not to give up possession so easily, the Quakes weren't willing to let themselves off the hook.
"There's not much that I can say, positively, defensively," San Jose coach Frank Yallop said. "It looked like defensively we were a shambles."
After watching his team pot three goals on the road for the first time since winning 3-2 against San Jose in Buck Shaw in September 2008, Real Salt Lake coach Jason Kreis admitted the obvious: Yes, there are still holes in the Earthquakes defense that can be exploited.
"But let's be honest, It's early days in the season, and some of that is going to come through being together for a little bit longer period of time," Kreis said. "And, offensively, I think we're a pretty good team. We can cause some troubles."
Rookie center back Ike Opara looked shaky at times while making his MLS debut in the starting lineup alongside Hernandez, but the problems extended farther up the field than that. For evidence, look no further than the fact that Yallop felt the need to replace midfielders Javier Robles and Bobby Convey at the half.
Brandon McDonald came on for Robles and took over as the defensive center midfielder, hoping to provide some steel against RSL's efficient diamond formation, which was powered by the otherworldly Morales. Joey Gjertsen replaced Convey, hoping to spark some offense on the wings.
"I wanted to put a bit of force in there," Yallop said. "I think that Brandon added that. . . . I felt those when we did make the changes, it did make a difference."
Then came Leitch's red card, which helped blunt San Jose's attempts to get back into the match. Perhaps if Arturo Alvarez had slipped one through in the 60th minute, rather than banging it off the post, or if Andre Luiz's rebound shot had been on frame, instead of sailing high, things might have been different.
Probably not, however, given that it was up to left back and captain Ramiro Corrales to provide the defense's best moment of the night, keeping his head amidst a mad 78th-minute scramble and clearing Robbie Findley's 8-yard attempt off the line after Cannon had to come out of the box.
The Earthquakes can take some solace in the fact that they have two weeks to implement solutions and integrate new forward Eduardo into the mix before taking the field again on April 10 in Chicago.
In the meantime, the memories of chasing RSL around the pitch will linger.
"Disappointing. Disheartening. Infurating," Hernandez said. "We've had a really strong preseason. Everything was in order to prepare us for this point, and when it counted, we didn't show up."
Said Cannon: "You try to take positives out of things, and I'm a pretty positive person. But, tonight, at home, losing 3-0 . . . it's embarrassing."
Quakes Defense Disappoints in Debut
