Multi award winning, German born, singer songwriter Claas P. Jambor, has brought his compelling brand of adventurous art to stages and events across the globe. His commanding stage presence, witty authenticity, engaging personality and world-class musical abilities have seen this internationally requested headline act share stages with artists including Delirious?, The Hooters, Matt Redman, Scooter, Sir Cliff Richard and the Newsboys. His diverse audiences throughout Europe, the USA, South Africa, Asia and the Middle East have ranged in size from over one million, right through to private celebrity parties. Like Claas, his audiences aren't easily boxed into one narrow demographic but have included stadium crowds, club patrons, major music festival attendees, Churches, MTV viewers, The Dalai Lama…and even the Pope. Claas takes audiences on a musical expedition that undresses the human heart. When the ingredients of his hooky melodies, exceptional voice, trademark sense of fun and multifaceted musical abilities are combined, a high impact live experience is inevitable. Lyrically intelligent, his music honestly explores themes of love, failure, freedom, pain, faith and betrayal, which he skillfully illuminates with truthful, engaging storytelling.
In Claas' own words, " I want audiences to feel like I expressed some of the stories or pain from their lives, that they couldn't and with that new perspective, they might find that they can brush themselves off and try again". Musically, daring audiences to allow their imaginations to be ignited and their hope freshly stirred. His most recent album, "Paradise Lane", released on the German label Gerth media, has followed the pattern of success of his previous releases, "Exceptional", "Alive", "One Day Recordings"," The Piano Album" and his Funk Rock band's self titled release, "The Four Ugly Daughters". Having returned to the US, where he spent much of his childhood, Claas is currently working from his base in Kansas City. He continues his touring schedule while simultaneously focusing on production, collaborative songwriting projects and finalizing his new album, with Grammy award winning producer Tedd. T. in Nashville. Anticipation now builds as the late 2014 CD release date fast approaches, and the next phase of this unfolding global adventure begins…

Rapper Snoop Dogg has vowed to teach his children the right way to smoke marijuana if they take an interest in pot.
The "Gin & Juice" hit maker, who now goes by the name Snoop Lion, has always been an advocate of the medicinal effects of weed, previously confessing he once smoked up to 80 blunts a day.
The 41-year-old has recently cut back as part of his spiritual rebirth, but he isn't opposed to letting his kids with wife Shante Broadus, Corde, Cordell, and Cori, experiment with pot – as long as he can show them how to properly consume it.
He tells GQ magazine, "It's not that I would ever push weed on our kids. But if they wanted to, I would love to show them how, the right way, so that way they won't get nothing put in their [bleep] or overdose or trying some [bleep] that ain't clean."
The star, real name Calvin Broadus, Jr., isn't the only celebrity determined to personally introduce his offspring to marijuana – rapper Wiz Khalifa, who is expecting a child with model Amber Rose, has also promised to educate his son on how to smoke pot.
He told "E! News," "Of course, I'm not going to be smoking right there over the baby, because smoke in general and being high is not good for a kid. None of that. But definitely he's going to know what it is – and he'll know the difference between being a child and not being able to use it and being an adult and knowing how to use it."

It depends very much on the level of the students, the number of the words, the aims, etc.
What techniques can be used to illustrate the meanings of words to students?
It depends very much on the level of the students, the number of the words, the aims, etc.
Well, i would suggest you a technique of 'guessing". When you pronaunce, mention a word, you may show it with your mimics or geastures. Use emotions.( but your students should understand of course you are not serious )
Besides you may explain the words by means of context which these words are inserted into.
And since you have mentioned a word make it usage by you and by your students as often as possible. In different contexts and meanings.
Our teacher used pictures of colors and subjects when we were just starting to learn English (but as for me, I found it very difficult to remember). It was more effectivly when I could write down the meaning and than to imagine the subject.
Psychologists say perception and memory give the best results when we include all our sences in the process. Say if you explain the meaning of sweet you can offer to try a lump of suger, or solty - a crystal of solt...
Actually this is up to your imagination and ethics of course!
Maybe this will help.

This year has been the first time that I've actually had a job during the holiday season, and alongside the valuable set of skills I've acquired through the experience it has opened my eyes to a very large problem with our society today: the issue of all-day christmas music radio stations and the nature of their intentional ignorance and laziness. For the past two weeks I've heard just about every Christmas song out there get played twice a day, five days a week in a seemingly fixed rotation where the on-air personality is only present to remind you of what station is providing this oddly specific brand of torture. The good news is that it's not that difficult for me to make it through the day there because I love listening to Christmas music.
Something special happens in Christmas songs where everybody is hoping for the circumstantially wonderful thing to happen, and that communal feeling of safety and joy is a beautiful thing to experience in song. The bad part is that not every Christmas song actually accomplishes this today despite the fact that they are all still played equally and frequently. This list features both songs which have become overly-offensive and songs which had only succeeded in the first place because of their shock value, and argues that there comes a point in time where the tradition or novelty of a song needs to be overlooked. Here are five Christmas songs which should be retired.

An emergency fund is a critical component of creating a more secure financial future, both short- and long-term. The new year is a good time to tackle the first steps of establishing a savings plan for unexpected financial needs.
Ready to start, or build up, your emergency fund — and better prepare for a solid financial future? Follow these steps to help build a necessary financial reserve.
- Set an emergency fund goal.
Emergency funds are designed to help you when the unexpected — a car repair, home damage, even a lost job — happens. The savings acts as a buffer, eliminating the need for credit cards or loans to cover immediate and unforeseen financial obligations. An emergency fund should equal about three to six months of living expenses.
- Set up a monthly goal for your emergency fund.
Review (or set up) your budget to find out how much money you can allocate monthly toward the emergency fund. You'll want to decide on an actual amount, as well as a dedicated contribution frequency (which you can set up as an automatic transfer). Even if it's a small amount, starting today may make a big impact on your savings.
- Open a separate emergency fund account, and make your first deposit — even if it's a very small one.
Once you've created "emergency fund" as a line item in your budget, you'll have an easier time putting money away on a regular basis. Consider setting up automatic transfers on a regular basis from your checking account, or arrange to have a percentage of your paycheck direct deposited into the savings account each pay period.
- How can other resolutions help you build an emergency savings account?
Meet your goal by reviewing your budget, eliminating unnecessary expenses and then depositing extra money leftover in your emergency fund. Perhaps there's a magazine or streaming subscription you can go without. Or, maybe look into reducing cable or phone bills to see if you can save some extra money. Since that's money you've already been spending, it's easy to send it to your savings account instead, meaning it's less likely you'll miss it.
- Find other budget areas to trim.
Take a look at spending categories, including dining out and, yes, your routine coffee habit and other incidentals, to see if you can trim a few things out and give a quick boost to savings instead. Be sure to immediately transfer the money to your emergency fund so it doesn't get spent elsewhere on small day-to-day purchases.
- Put a portion of unexpected cash in your emergency fund.
That may mean bonus money, a tax refund, or even small proceeds from selling something you own.
- If you withdraw from your emergency fund, come up with a plan to replace the money.
Go back over your budget again to see if you can find a source of extra funds to replace any money you used. Or consider a short-term side job, such as seasonal or one-day-a-weekend work, that helps you refill your emergency fund.
- Remember — it's OK to start small, but most importantly, just start.
Several hundred dollars can often be the difference between a car repair and a credit card bill, and you can accumulate that just by saving a few dollars a day over the course of a few months.

Rare pieces of Astrodome history being prepped for weekend 'yard sale'
Astrodome seats, turf, turnstiles, and other memorabilia are being pulled out of the iconic building Monday for a sale and auction to be held at Reliant Center Saturday.
Larger items are headed for auction, while smaller items will be sold at a fixed price. Registration for the auction begins at 7 a.m. The sale begins at 8 a.m.
Highlights of the sale include roughly 500 pairs of seats to be sold for $200 per pair. A 12 inch by 12 inch piece of turf will go for $20. There's a limit of four pairs of seats (eight seats total) per person and a limit of four squares of turf per person.
An auction for the higher-end items, like turnstiles, dugout benches, football benches, and on-deck circles from visiting National League teams will open at 9:30 am.
"There will be free parking until 10 a.m. and gates will open at 6 a.m.," said Leah Mastaglio, Reliant Park's director of events services.
Officials hope to close the event by 6 p.m. depending on how the sale goes and what is left.
Proceeds from the event go to the Astrodome renovation project.
On Nov. 5, Harris County voters will decide whether to approve a referendum authorizing up to $217 million in bonds to turn the stadium into a giant convention center and exhibition space.
"We are not sure how that money will be allotted," Mastaglio said of the proceeds of Saturday's event.
Crews on Monday were moving items out of the Astrodome and into Reliant Center's Hall E, where the event will be held. Anything you purchase must leave the day of the sale and there will be no online sales.
Mastaglio said Major League Baseball and the Baseball Hall of Fame has been made aware of the auction and sale. One particularly large item -- the batting cage backstop -- may not fit in the back of your pickup truck. Reliant is waiting to see if the MLB wants that for themselves.
Reliant also found a few of the space helmets that the grounds crew wore when the Dome opened nearly 50 years ago. Those will be in the auction as well. Only the helmets though, the suits are long gone.
Old staff uniforms will be up for grabs on Saturday, too.
"We have six or seven different types, ranging from different eras. Some have the old Dome logo," Mastaglio said.
The seats that will be sold this weekend are the upper deck "rainbow gut" seats. Some of the seats still have peanut shells stuck on the sides from fans.
It hasn't been decided if and when the rest of the Dome seats will be sold. The consensus among staff was that those will be for a possible later sale.
Mastaglio said this could be just one of several sales of Dome memorabilia, but other sales have not been scheduled.
Pieces of furniture from the business suites will also be available Saturday. Some of this stuff ranges from funky thrift chic to staid gray cloth.
Mastaglio hinted that the sand from the pitching mound could also appear on Saturday morning.
There is also the possibility of a public preview at Reliant Center on Friday, but that depends on how much crews get moved out of the Dome this week.
"It would run noon until four depending on how much gets done," said Mastaglio.
If you are holding out for Houston Oilers items, you'll be out of luck. Most of that left with the team when they moved to Nashville in the '90s. The football turf has been water-damaged and Reliant is opting to not sell it.
The auction will be run by Reliant Park officials and the Harris County Sports and Convention Corp., which manages the county-owned Reliant Park.

There are few subjects we Americans have trouble talking about. We're pretty cool about sex (except when having "the talk" with your kid). We're careful when discussing politics (unless it's an election year), and most of us can skirt around those comments and issues concerning religion.
But there is one discussion we just can't quite bring ourselves to have – the dreaded "end of life" talk where you make your wishes known to your family about how you want your death to be handled.
That's where Death Over Dinner http://deathoverdinner.org comes in. Using their five step interactive questioner, Death Over Dinner lets you plan out a dinner party where the main focus will be on what you want when you reach the end of your life.
The questioner starts with you deciding whom to invite to the dinner. This will help you decide what you want to achieve during the "talk", and the website offers several articles, videos and audios for you and your guests to explore before the day of the meal.
Once the get-together is over, there's still more work to be done. Next step: you need to make a plan – a real plan. In other words: Write it down! According to a survey conducted by the California HealthCare Foundation, 82% of people say it's important to put their wishes in writing. 23% have actually done it. Death Over Dinner offers you two tools to assist in getting that done.
The first is a conversation starter kit that provides step-by-step instructions on what needs to be done and how to do it. Compiled by the Conversation Project http://theconversationproject.org and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement http://www.ihi.org, the kit begins by reinforcing how important making your wishes known really is.
One startling fact from the Centers for Disease Control; 70% of people say they would prefer to die at home. 70% of people die in a hospital, nursing home or long-term care facility. Something to bear in mind when this task seems daunting ...
How involved do you want to be in the decision-making process?
Is quality of life more important to you than quantity of life?
How involved do you want you loved ones to be in the death process?
Another online resource is provided by Everplans http://www.everplans.com. They offer a mini workbook that will assist you in choosing a health care proxy, writing a living will, making funeral arrangements, settling an estate, appointing a power of attorney, even information on how to become an organ donor.
Another great resource is Death Café http://deathcafe.com where strangers meet to eat, drink and discuss death. Currently there are over 450 death Cafes in the U.S., Europe and Australia, with over 3,000 participants.
There are no employees or staff with Death Café. Individuals simply decide they would like to host a meeting. A guide on what to do and how to accomplish it is provided on the website at http://deathcafe.com/how/.
Baby Boomers have been instrumental in getting these talks started. Too many have had to make, or are now making decisions for aged parents about end-of-life issues. If a parent did not put those wishes in writing, it can be awkward and stressful to make them without their guidance. It is much better for everyone to be prepared.
All it takes is one conversation to start the ball rolling, and then taking those necessary steps to make sure that your end of life experience is what you want it to be.
~ Joy
If you have attended a Death Over Dinner event, or one like it, let us know what you thought of it.

In early July, a report by the Institute of Medicine, a private non-governmental agency, urged the U.S. military to impose a smoking ban. We were dumbfounded. How can you ask a person to join up to fight for his country, head off to a war zone, and then say, "Oh, by the way, you can't smoke. It's too dangerous."? The Pentagon agreed. A few days later, the Pentagon brass announced that while they were committed to reducing smoking in the military's ranks, they weren't going to ban smoking any time soon.
Think about it. Tobacco is a legal product in the United States. But someone thinks it is okay to go around suggesting that people who work for the government should be denied access to a legal product. There was a public outcry about the report from soldiers who said a cigarette or a cigar helped them survive the stress of their jobs, especially in combat. We knew that was true. We can't begin to count the number of letters, pictures and requests for cigars that we've gotten from soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq telling us how much they enjoy a smoke with their comrades.
We're glad the Pentagon came to its senses.
But the campaign to demonize tobacco isn't letting up. Parade magazine ran an article in May authored by Dr. Ranit Mishori. It was headlined "The Hidden Dangers of Cigars," and it manipulated every piece of data it could to support that headline. We don't have room here to point out every misconception and exaggeration but one struck us as particularly unfair.
It cited a study that showed that at two cigar social events in San Francisco, higher levels of carbon monoxide were reported than on a busy California freeway. Even if you give the study the benefit of the doubt, how can you compare a freeway, where many drivers sit for hours every day of the workweek, with cigar social events that people might attend once or twice a year. I guess we should ban driving on freeways to preserve a person's health.
The anti-tobacco forces, with public faces like Dr. Mishori, don't tell you the full story; yes, burning tobacco produces benzene, a known carcinogen; so does driving your car on a freeway. Yes, formaldehyde exists in burning tobacco; you breathe more formaldehyde cooking with your gas stove in your kitchen. Yes, cigars have more tobacco than a cigarette, but just because something is bigger doesn't make it more dangerous. Most people don't inhale cigars. Most people smoke one or two a day, at most. The anti-tobacco zealots refuse to engage in the debate that is at the core of toxicology—is there a dose above which something becomes a poison? Why? Because by engaging in that debate, they have to acknowledge there is a level below which the risks are minimal, like smoking a cigar a day.
No, the truth is straightforward. The people aligned against tobacco want to ban it completely. They will bend the facts, exaggerate the risks and use any means to create their desired outcome. We don't say that there aren't risks in smoking cigars. But we believe that people's decision to smoke should be taken in its whole context, including the benefits of relaxation. They should be able to make their own choice with rational analysis of all the risks and not have to deal with falsehoods and scare tactics.

There's a remarkable correlation between Tolstoy and FOMO—yes, you really did read that sentence.
It seems the BBC's new adaptation of 'War and Peace' has reminded an awful lot of us that we never did manage to battle through the Russian epic novel, but come on guys, let's not be so hard on ourselves; when you can watch a six-part TV version starring megababe Lily James, who really has time to bother with the 2,000-page classic?
Anyway, we're understanding the plot, we know the characters' names, we get that it's set in 1805 because of the costumes... so that means we've basically read the book, right?
Well it seems a lot of people think so, as a new survey has suggested that many of us have pretended to have read the book in order to fit in.
The online survey further states that a quarter of people are prepared to lie about certain books they think they should have read to appear smarter and more attractive.
The survey, which had 2,000 respondents, has used the information to rank the books most people lie about in order, with our guy Tolstoy appearing twice (it's not you Leo, it's us!) and Charles Dickens appearing a whopping three times. But the list also has a few modern suprises, including 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and the 'Harry Potter' series.
40 per cent of people claimed their biggest reason for lying was to prevent themselves from being left out of conversations, and just under one-third said it was to appear more intelligent.
Yikes, guess we'll all be spending our lunch hour in the library then...

Page Publication Charge Policy
The Binghamton University Libraries are the center of the University's intellectual community, providing a welcoming environment for the creation and management of knowledge through innovative thinking, open inquiry, and collaborative partnerships. We strive to provide service, support, and access to tools and materials for successful scholarly activity for all academic departments and programs at BU. Page charges for scholarly journal articles are sometimes required for publication of materials using the Open Access or similarly named publishing models.
The Libraries recommends that researchers and authors consider the following when preparing manuscripts from research grant funding:
- Check with the funding agency or program regarding their rules for allowing page charges for publications. Some federal or state agencies are prohibited from using grant funds to pay for publication fees or page charges.
- Designate a line item on your research grant budget for publication charges. Consult with Research Foundation staff or the Grant and Contract Administrator for your program on how best to document this information in your grant budget narrative.
- Check the author information in the journal. Any publication or page charge requirements should be clearly stated.
- Consider publishing the article in a journal without page charges and send the content to a subject article repository or data archive. Many journals will allow posting of article preprints and manuscripts. SHERPA/RoMEO gives information on copyright transfer agreements for many journals.
Questions? Contact the Libraries' Director of Assessment and Scholarly Communications Elizabeth Brown at (607) 777-4882 or or ebrown@binghamton.
Why are there page charges? Scholarly publishing is undergoing rapid change. Previous subscription-based journal models are being replaced with Open Access and other similarly named policies. These models may require authors to pay a fee to make the article available to all researchers, not just those with a library subscription.
How can I tell if a journal has page charges for publication? There are lists of these journals available online, the most comprehensive of which is the Directory of Open Access Journals.
What is an embargo period? The length of time an article will be available to those with a current subscription to the journal. Embargo periods vary from a few months to longer than one year. Once this time has passsed the article is available to everyone.
What do I do if I'm a co-author and my collaborator can't pay the publication charge? All authors can contribute to the publication charge. Consult with your co-authors and their institutions prior to submitting your manuscript.

Recording Made Simple – Recordings Made by You!October 28, 2008
Ever fancied your hand at recording but never quite took the plunge for what ever reason? Maybe you didn't know how, or you didn't have the right gear, or you simply thought you weren't good enough to worry about making a recording of yourself.
Whether you're starting out on the path to become a Grammy award winning producer, recording a song as a gift for someone special, or simply recording a voice over for a home video or a podcast, there is absolutely no reason in this day and age to not at least give recording a go – just like learning to play an instrument, making your own recordings is great fun. One things for sure – every note you play, every word you sing, every laugh you create is lost forever ……….. if you don't record it!

Mendoza set for next start despite knee issue
Royals right-hander worked into seventh on Friday in win over Rays
ST. PETERSBURG -- Royals starter Luis Mendoza's left knee tends to get a little achy, but it's not expected to keep the right-hander from making his next start.
"He's probably going to make his next five starts," manager Ned Yost said, "so, just go ahead and write that in."
Mendoza set off some alarms in the second inning of his 7-2 win over the Rays on Friday night, limping as he covered first base on the first out. He stayed in the game and pitched into the seventh inning, but Mendoza was treated for a lengthy period in the training room afterward.
"They just treated me as a precaution," Mendoza said. "My last start, it was swollen a little bit, but it's nothing serious. They're just icing it and treating it."
Mendoza's knee was banged by the sliding Mike Trout of the Angels in the third inning on May 24 at Kauffman Stadium. The pitcher was covering home plate as catcher Salvador Perez recovered a wild pitch.
Fortunately, as a pitcher, Mendoza isn't required to do much running.
"No," Yost said, "but I do need him to throw strikes and it is on his landing leg, so when he starts the first inning and he's behind everybody, the natural progression in your mind is, 'Is his knee all right?' But, he settled down nicely after that."
Mendoza said the knee doesn't bother him when he pitches and is "100 percent good."
In his five starts with the banged-up knee, Mendoza has given up just seven runs in 28 innings (2.25 ERA).
"I watch it, I keep an eye on it," Yost said. "It gets a little sore after he pitches, but when he comes around again, he doesn't feel a thing. Which is good and that's what happens with a lot of these guys. They pitch and they're a little sore."
As the fifth starter, Mendoza missed some starts early in the season, but since going on regular rest in his last seven outings, he's 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA.

Dick the Almighty's of no surprise
It'll fuck all the bitches all shapes and sizes
She'll climb a mount, even run the block
Just to kiss the head of this big black cock
It'll tear the pussy open cause some satisfaction
The bitch won't leave its fatal attraction
Dick's so powerful she'll kneel and pray
Awaitin' her time hopin' soon to slay
That dick will make a bitch cry
We're fuckin' a bitch that's tight inside
That dick has got a spell on you
Once he gets inside you'll act the fool
That dick will make a bitch act cute
Suck my dick bitch and make it puke
Jump up on it, grab it like you want it
If you could wear a dick, bitch you would flaunt it
That dick!
Bitches are the ones thinkin' dicks get soft
They fuck one time and they got all
Thinkin' it's slick just to ride the dick
To make a nigga come and then he'll quit
But not the long one, I won't play that shit
Put her ass in the buck and kill the clit
It's 15" long, 8" thick
Last name Almighty, first name is Dick

I can't be pussy-whipped by a dicksucker
That dick would drive a bitch crazy
Bitches wanna fuck when you're tired and lazy

I let a bitch feed, before I go up in her

Bitches go crazy after all-night fucks
Startin' from the back then do the buck
Since a good dick is hard to find
I kill that pussy then fuck your mind
Bitches like the dick, just claim defeat
Forget the salad, just eat my meat
They pay big dollars, cause they don't come free
To spend time with the dick, the Almighty
That dick will make you cheat on your man
Make you so freaky and hot in the ass
That dick will make you hurt yourself
When you don't have dick you fingerfuck yourself
That dick is an awful thing

Budget Battle Leaves Congress in a Bind
Are lawmakers in the cut-spending camp misreading public sentiment?
You've seen the headlines: "Budget Deal Avoids Government Shutdown."
There's just one little problem -- those headlines are wrong.
For sure, the move by House Republicans to fold $4 billion of spending cuts that Democrats can mostly agree to delays the prospect of a shutdown. But by extending funding for just two weeks instead of having the bigger fight to pay for government operations for the remaining seven months of the fiscal year, Congress did what Congress does best.
Lawmakers kicked the can down the road.
The next fight will be a doozy. House Republicans want to cut about $60 billion from funding to operate federal programs until fiscal 2012, which starts Oct. 1, and another $40 billion next year. The $100 billion in cuts would honor a Tea Party-driven pledge the GOP made last year; they claim winning control of the House in 2010 was a mandate for them to deliver what they promised.
Not so fast, say the Democrats, who still control the Senate. They argue cuts of that magnitude would not only hamper vital federal programs but would threaten to undercut the economy just as it's building steam after climbing out of the worst recession in several generations.
Both sides have ammunition to back their claims.
Democrats can point to a study this week from Moody's Analytics that forecasts that cuts in the range of $100 billion would trim 1% from the growth rate of the gross domestic product. They can also tout reports that the cuts and slowing growth would prevent the creation of tens of thousands of jobs.
Republicans can counter with the words of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who said Tuesday that he thinks the jobs projections are wildly off base.
But here's the reality that neither side is talking about: Cutting $100 billion from this budget through the next one will put just a tiny dent in the deficit. The move would be loaded with symbolism, but the debt clock would continue to spin like the wheels on a quarter slot machine in Vegas.
Serious progress on the budget deficit and the federal debt won't be seen until both parties acknowledge the 800-pound gorilla in the room and figure out how to address the soaring costs of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Lawmakers know something must be done, and they acknowledge that the longer they wait the worse the entitlement problem will become, as more and more Baby Boomers retire and start taking money and benefits out instead of paying in.
But neither side is willing to go first, fearing payback by voters in the 2012 elections. Because of that political paralysis, don't look for serious steps on the entitlement front until 2013 at the earliest.
Lawmakers from both parties are in a serious bind in the budget and spending fight, and a recent poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard School of Public Health shows why.
Americans essentially want it both ways.
Two-thirds in the Kaiser/Harvard poll say they are "very concerned" about the deficit, and 57% want Congress to address it "mainly by reducing spending on government programs and services."
So far, so good, except for this: Nearly two-thirds of respondents say they don't want cuts to affect Social Security, 56% want Congress to leave Medicare alone and nearly half, 47%, say the same about Medicaid.
In fact, on a 12-item list, there is majority support for cutting only one program: Foreign aid. While a favorite target, such aid amounts to $63 billion, about 1.7% of all spending in Obama's proposed budget for fiscal 2012. In a budget with a projected $1.6-trillion deficit, that's a figurative drop in the bucket.
Real progress on the deficit will require real pain, maybe even -- dare we say it -- higher taxes resulting in the deep-sixing of some cherished deductions.
The big question is whether Americans who say they want a balanced budget are willing to sacrifice to help make it so. Finding the answer will add some new faces to the unemployment line over the next few years -- members of Congress who guess incorrectly.

This short documentary by Tyler Bastian and Cameron Trejo is called Everything is Incredible and well, it's pretty freaking incredible. It's about a man named Agustín from Honduras who can't walk, lives in poverty, yet still wants to fulfil a dream: to fly. He spends his days making a helicopter from trash.
It's amazing, really. Spotted at This Is Colossal:
In 1958 he embarked on his life's work: the construction of a crude, custom-designed helicopter made completely from trash with the exception of a few pieces of rebar purchased from a hardware store. Even the chains he uses to power the propeller were forged by hand.
Agustín was diagnosed with polio early on in his life so he's been unable to walk for most of his years. You should watch the video, just to see one man's dedication in a seemingly hopeless cause. [Vimeo via Colossal]

ח וְהַמֶּלֶךְ שָׁב מִגִּנַּת הַבִּיתָן אֶל–בֵּית ׀ מִשְׁתֵּה הַיַּיִן וְהָמָן נֹפֵל עַל–הַמִּטָּה אֲשֶׁר אֶסְתֵּר עָלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ הֲגַם לִכְבּוֹשׁ אֶת–הַמַּלְכָּה עִמִּי בַּבָּיִת הַדָּבָר יָצָא מִפִּי הַמֶּלֶךְ וּפְנֵי הָמָן חָפוּ
8. And the king returned from the garden of his house to the house of the wine feast. And Haman is falling on the bed on which is Esther. And the king said, "Also to attack the queen with me in the house?!" The word went out from the mouth of the king, and Haman's face was covered.
- Rashi notes that people in those days reclined on beds or couches during meals, as was mentioned earlier (see Esther 1:16).
- The Talmud (Megillah 12a) pointed out that during Achashverosh's party in the beginning of the story, that the couches were designed to be equal in order to avoid jealousy. Here, ironically, the couch provokes the epitome of jealousy.
- In a simple explanation of this verse, the Ibn Ezra writes that Haman was merely beseeching Esther, and fell from fear when Achashverosh entered.
- Similarly, the Vilna Gaon states that because Haman was so deeply saddened, he could not stand.
- R' Dovid Feinstein stresses that, had Haman been simply begging for his life, he would have been on the floor, so an explanation beyond the simple understanding is in order.
- The Talmud (Megillah 16a) is bothered by the verse's use of the present tense nofal ("is falling") instead of nafal ("fell"). It records that when Achashverosh returned from his garden, an angel was in the process of pushing Haman onto Esther's bed. Achashverosh yelled, "Woah onto me in my house and woah onto me outside."
- R' Avigdor Bonckek explains that the use of the present tense is meant to express the mental image in our minds like an ongoing event.
- The Baal HaTurim, in his commentary on the Torah (Bereishis 48:2) points out the phrase "al hamita" ("on the bed") is used in TaNaCh twice – here, and in reference to Yaakov giving his blessing to his grandchildren through Yosef, Menashe and Efrayim. This is meant to contrast the righteous, who lift themselves up even at their weakest moments (as Yaakov raised himself from his deathbed to bless his progeny), to the wicked, who fall even when they are at highest peak of their success (as Haman fell from the king's grace).
- The Talmud (Pesachim 100a) uses the phrase "hagam lichvosh es hamalka imi babayis" ("also to attack the queen with me in the house") to criticize someone who follows the opinion of Rabbi A in the presence of Rabbi B when those opinions conflict. Similarly, Rabbi Paysach Krohn tells a story of the Klausenberger Rebbe who prayed one late afternoon at the grave of the tanna R' Yehuda bar Ilai outside Meron in Eretz Yisrael. In the evening, the rebbe became unusually downcast. When he was asked about his sudden change of mood, he explained that the R' Yehuda bar Ilai's opinion was that mincha needed to be prayed earlier, and "hagam lichvosh es hamalka imi babayis!"
- The Talmud (Sanhedrin 105a) tells us that a proof to the idea that the wicked Bilam performed magic through immoral acts is the fact that the Torah (Bamidbar 24:4) records that he called himself "fallen." This bears a marked similarity to Haman's situation in this verse, in which he falls. Falling onto a bed is a reference to falling into immorality.
- The Maharal suggests that Haman fell over the bed because he could not see it due to his embarrassment. He refers us to the Talmud (Bava Metzia 59a) that teaches that embarrassed people behave clumsily.
- Perhaps he could not see the bed because his inflated ego caused his head to be perpetually in the air, even as he is about to die.
- The Ma'amar Mordechai points out that Haman knew that Achashverosh would get jealous if he saw Haman and Esther together, and, knowing that he was as good as dead already, he tried to take Esther down with himself.
- The author of the website doreishtov.blogspot points out that the Talmud calls the holiday of Purim by the name, "Puraya," which also means "bed" in Aramaic. He suggests that this event of Haman falling on Esther's bed is more central to the story from which the holiday comes than the lots that Haman threw.
- The Sfas Emes points out that Haman fell twice, once here, and again when his followers fall on the thirteenth of Adar. The Sfas Emes continues that these multiple falls were foreshadowed when Haman's advisers said (Esther 6:13) "nafol tipol" ("falling you will surely fall"). The Sfas Emes concludes that this also foreshadows the ultimate downfall of Amalek at end of history as promised in the Torah (Bamidbar 24:20), it should be in our days.

IgG Subclass 1–4 Immunoassays
The Comprehensive Solution for IgG Determination
Deficiencies of IgG subclasses are an indication of a disturbed immune response and usually lead to clinical symptoms in the patient, although decreased levels of IgG subclasses may also be asymptomatic. However, several disease states are strongly associated with decreased or increased levels of IgG subclasses. Measuring total IgG may only mask deficiencies in subclasses 2, 3, and/or 4 due to a possible high concentration of predominant IgG1.
Therefore, the determination of IgG subclass concentrations has become increasingly important in clinical diagnostics. It is indicated for diagnostic clarification in patients with:
- A malfunctioning immune defense
- Immunoglobulin deficiencies
- Increased susceptibility to infection
- Abnormally frequent and/or prolonged or severe infections that cannot be explained by standard clinical and laboratory data
IgG4-related disease is a relatively new and growing entity of immune-mediated origin, often with multi-organ impairment. Although the diagnosis of this disease must be confirmed histopathologically, serum IgG4 is an important marker in the evaluation and longitudinal assessment. Diagnostic delays in the setting of IgG4-related disease can lead to cirrhosis, pancreatic failure, advanced renal dysfunction, and many other complications.
Therapy with glucocorticoids is considered a first choice with very good patient outcomes. If this therapy is used, it should be monitored over a certain period (12 months recommended by guidelines) by measuring serum IgG4 for evaluation of treatment or detection of relapse.

Obama administration agrees to informal drone halt in Pakistan
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration has agreed to Pakistan's request to stop drone-launched missile strikes except on Al Qaeda operational leaders while Islamabad pursues peace talks with local Taliban militants, U.S. officials say.
The informal pause began in late December, seven weeks after a CIA drone strike killed Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud just as negotiations were set to begin, drawing an angry rebuke to Washington from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government.
The stand-down on targeted killings of Taliban leaders in Pakistan "doesn't impact our list for core Al Qaeda," a U.S. official said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity about a covert program. "They still have a green light on Al Qaeda targets."
Those targets are fewer these days because Al Qaeda's leadership in northwest Pakistan is increasingly thin on the ground after more than a decade of drone strikes and other counter-terrorism operations, including the killing by Navy SEALs of Osama Bin Laden in May 2011.
The CIA has not launched a drone strike in Pakistan since Dec. 25 -- the longest lull since a six-week halt in November 2011 after U.S.-led NATO forces mistakenly killed 24 Pakistani soldiers on the border with Afghanistan. That strike worsened the diplomatic tensions with Washington that began with the cross-border raid that killed Bin Laden.
The informal agreement to sharply curtail drone strikes was first reported Tuesday by the Washington Post. The pause apparently does not affect surveillance flights.
The CIA declined comment Wednesday. A senior Obama administration official said the United States is "continuing to aggressively identify and disrupt terrorist threats in the Afghan war theater and outside of areas of active hostilities. ... This remains our policy."
External factors may limit future drone strikes in any case.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign a bilateral security agreement to let U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan after the end of 2014. Unless the accord is signed by Karzai or his successor, to be chosen in April elections, all U.S. troops will be withdrawn, including those who now run the airfields where armed drones are based.
If those bases close, U.S. drones could be flown over Pakistan from more distant facilities or ships. That makes attacks far more difficult, although not impossible, officials say.
The Pakistani Taliban has been designated by the State Department as a terrorist organization. Although it has launched most of its attacks inside Pakistan, it also has mounted lethal attacks on U.S. troops and facilities in neighboring Afghanistan. It is not directly affiliated with the Afghan Taliban, however.
Mehsud, who was killed on Nov. 1, had claimed responsibility for organizing the December 2009 suicide bombing of a secret CIA outpost on a U.S. military base in Khowst, in eastern Afghanistan, that killed seven CIA officers.
Mehsud's group also claimed responsibility for a failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in New York's Times Square in May 2010. The U.S. government had put a $5-million reward on his head.
But the Pakistani Taliban is not considered as dangerous to U.S. interests as Al Qaeda, which still seeks to target the United States. Last week, Sharif announced that the peace talks canceled in November after the Mehsud killing were back on track, although formal talks have not yet begun.
The pause in strikes is a sign, U.S. officials say, of President Obama's effort to scale back the covert drone war. But the official secrecy that surrounds the program, critics say, shows the administration still resists explaining it in public.
"Whatever signal the White House is reportedly trying to send, it's totally garbled by the official secrecy over killings," said Naureen Shah, who tracks the program for Amnesty International, which views many of the drone strikes as illegal. "The way forward is to be transparent about the policy and accountable for the unlawful killings we know have occurred."
In a major speech last May, Obama announced narrower targeting standards for drone attacks to help protect civilians. The White House defended those rules Monday after Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, argued they were making Americans less safe.
The White House also said it would seek to transfer most drone operations out of CIA hands to the Pentagon. But military operations come under different laws than intelligence, and opponents in Congress passed a classified amendment to a spending bill that effectively barred the administration from making the shift.
Although Obama also promised more transparency about drone strikes, U.S. officials rarely disclose or confirm details about missiles launched by the military or the CIA.
On Tuesday, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), asked CIA Director John Brennan at a House Intelligence Committee hearing why the U.S. couldn't make an annual disclosure of how many militants and how many civilians have been killed in targeted attacks.
Brennan made no promises.
"I think it would be a recommendation that would have to go to the administration, and I would be a participant in the inter-agency process to discuss the potential advantages and potential disadvantages of it," he said. "It is certainly a worthwhile recommendation if you would like to make that."

The bittersweet musical "Once" captured eight Tony Awards on Sunday, including best direction of a musical, best lead actor in a musical and the top musical prize itself.
The inventive play "Peter and the Starcatcher" was next with five awards, but most every show came away with something to crow about.
Bruce Norris' "Clybourne Park," the remarkably perceptive Pulitzer Prize-winning play about race and real estate, won the best play Tony.
Audra McDonald was named best lead actress in a musical and her "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" was named best musical revival. This is her fifth Tony Award, tying the competitive record held by Angela Lansbury and Julie Harris.
"I was a little girl with a potbelly and afro puffs, hyperactive and overdramatic. And I found the theater, and I found my home," McDonald said. Looking at her daughter, she said her big night wasn't as wonderful as the night her daughter was born.
Her one-time co-star in "110 in the Shade," Steve Kazee, a 36-year-old rising star and guitar player with matinee idol looks, emerged as best actor in a musical, and broke down thinking of his mother, who died Easter Sunday.
Another new star, Nina Arianda, won best leading actress in a play, beating stiff competition from Tracie Bennett, Stockard Channing, Linda Lavin and Cynthia Nixon.
Accepting the award from presenter Christopher Plummer, Arianda admitted something very personal to the 82-year-old Plummer: "You were my first crush!" she squealed.
In perhaps the biggest shock of the night, James Corden nabbed the lead acting Tony Award in a play for his clownish turn in the British import "One Man, Two Guvnors." He beat out the favorite, Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Death of a Salesman."
Corden directed most of his comment to his girlfriend, Julia, who gave birth to his son a year ago and whom he intends to marry soon.
"I would not be holding this if it wasn't for her. She made me say 'us' instead of 'I' and 'we' instead of 'me' and I love her," he said.
Arthur Miller's 63-year-old masterpiece "Death of a Salesman" won the Tony for best play revival and Mike Nichols won his ninth Tony for directing it. On winning, he said the play has a special meaning for those who work in the theater.
"There's not a person in this theater that doesn't know what it is to be a salesman — to be out there in the blue riding on a smile and a shoeshine," he said. "As we know, a salesman has got to dream. It goes with the territory."
The reworked version of the Gershwin opera "Porgy and Bess" managed to come home with more and more prestigious awards than a revival of Stephen Sondheim's "Follies."
Diane Paulus, the artistic director of the American Repertory Theater, adapted it for Broadway with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks and Obie Award-winning composer Diedre Murray.
The team condensed the four-hour opera into a two-and-one-half-hour musical, eliminated a lot of the repetitiveness and tried to deepen the characters. Their effort generated headlines when purists including Sondheim complained that a musical treasure was being corrupted.
Theater audiences disagreed, with fans cheering the new work, which featured songs such as "Summertime" and "Bess, You Is My Woman Now."
"Once," a musical based on the low-budget 2006 film about an unlikely romance between a Czech flower seller and an Irish street musician in Dublin, went into the night with a leading 11 nominations. "Newsies" was supposed to challenge it, but only came up with two awards.
Composer Alan Menken, who has more Oscars than any other living person, captured his first Tony for "Newsies." The win for "Newsies" is particularly sweet since when he and lyricist Jack Feldman originally wrote the songs for the 1992 film of "Newsies," he was given another sort of award: a "Razzie."
Judy Kaye won for best actress in a featured role in a musical in "Nice Work If You Can Get It," playing a temperance worker who turns out likes to drink and hangs from a chandelier at one point. It's Kaye's second Tony — she also won for "The Phantom of the Opera."
"I guess chandeliers have been very, very good to me," she said to a burst of laughter. She dedicated the award to her father, who died last week.
Judith Light, who plays an acerbic alcoholic in "Other Desert Cities," won for for best featured actress in a play. Michael McGrath won for best actor in a featured musical role from "Nice Work If You Can Get It."
The show at the Beacon Theatre actually began with a nod to the past, with host Neil Patrick Harris joining with the cast of "The Book of Mormon" for their opening number of "Hello!" from the 2011 musical winner. The show ended when Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the co-creators of "Mormon," handing out the final award.
Christopher Gattelli, who thrillingly combined ballet with bold athletic moves in "Newsies, won the best choreography Tony. It is his first award; he previously was nominated for "South Pacific" in 2008.
The three-hour telecast was packed with stars and performances from musicals, plays and revivals. The explosion of performances is an attempt to showcase as much on Broadway as possible. One performance wasn't even nearby — the song from "Hairspray" was performed from a cruise ship in the Caribbean Sea.
The Tony Awards show is serious business and the exposure in front of millions is priceless. Many shows that are suffering pre-summer slumps are counting on a bump from the telecast. "Godspell" producer Ken Davenport was warned that his production's future may hinge on making a splash at the ceremony.
Overall, the health of Broadway is good, with shows yielding a record $1.14 billion in grosses this season, and total attendance reaching 12.3 million. The only concern is that audience numbers were flat, meaning higher ticket prices are pushing the overall box office take.

Thank you for your interest in the Society of Jesus, Oregon Province. We have recently blended our website with that of the California Province at www.jesuitswest.org in advance of our coming together to form a new larger province, Jesuits West, which will officially launch in July, 2017. The blended website has the same graphic look and content structure of the former Oregon Province website.
The coming together of the California and Oregon provinces represents a return to the roots of the two provinces which separated from a single province in 1932. As a new, larger province, Jesuits West will have a geographic territory that includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. The new province will maintain the same hallmarks for which the Jesuits have come to be recognized, including work in education, Ignatian Spirituality, parishes, retreat centers, and social ministries to the poor and disadvantaged.
In recent years, Jesuits from the Oregon and California provinces have been missioned to leadership roles in the other province. And, for many years, the provinces have operated a joint Novitiate and Formation program for the education and training of future Jesuit priests and brothers.
The blended website includes full lists of Jesuits West ministries, news, events, Jesuit obituaries, as well as news from other Jesuit works around the world and updates on initiatives of Pope Francis, the first Jesuit pope.
If you have questions, please contact us.

Could an extremophile hold the secret to treatment of devastating injuries?
Biologists have been aware of the existence of disordered proteins for decades but long dismissed them as inconsequential. IDPs are so poorly understood that there is still no clear consensus on what constitutes one. In fact, for the most part, their functions remain unknown. What scientists do know is that not all disordered proteins are… Read More »
