- It's a classic!BizzybeeDined on 9/26/2014This place never gets old! It's so fun to hit up every once in a while to enjoy the food and show and remind us why we loved coming here as a kid.Special Features:
- great experience1stclassDined on 9/23/2014It was my wives birthday and everyone there made it so enjoyable. Food and setting were great and our cook jesus was great and put on a good cooking presentation all was well prepared and the food was cooked just how we asked for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worst Service EverHorribleServiceDined on 9/22/2014My husband and I come to eat at Benihanas once monthly and each time the service gets worse. It started when we were waiting for our table we sat at the bar- a completely empty bar with 2 bartenders. One gave us a menu then walked away, minutes pass and 2 gentleman as it down. The bartender literally rushes to them and asks what they would like to drink! Ignoring us! Then he goes to help another couple, and another! The second bar tender even went to help another. I don't know if they were just idiots or if they were purposely ignoring us. By the time we had our order taken our table was ready. It took 15 min for them to bring the drinks from the bar that we had already ordered! Or chef Antonio was fabulous though. Waitress was non existant
- Always a Good TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014You can never go wrong with Benihana - it's always a good time. Great food, great company, great ambiance.Special Features:
- disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014this experience was disappoinnting all around, lengthy wait times when I had a reserved time to be seated. Terrible host and hostess who seated an abundant amount of people at our table. I insisted they excess number be moved to another table, which they were after a lengthy conversation with hostess. Awful wait staff which continued to mess up our tables orders. Confused chef who was ill prepared to make our meal and did not bring out enough food and argued in front of customers with staff about the orders taken. Very awkward! The food turned out good in the end but the overall experience was terrible.Special Features:
- Affordable and tastyScfoodmanDined on 9/19/2014A great meal for me and my boyfriend and under $100 total! Most of the time if we eat out for a nice dinner it is well over $200. Great meal and we will surely return!Special Features:
- IncrediblePinkraideretteDined on 9/19/2014My girl friend recommended it and for my boyfriends birthday I decided to try it out. He was smiles all night he loved it. I loved it we can't wait to come back the chef was so funny and nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RickRickDined on 9/19/2014Excellent dinning experience. Our chef was very unique in his various skills that was displayed. The food was good too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timer!AngeluvsDined on 9/18/2014This place is awesome! I loved the food and the way they prepare it right in front of you.. Went here for my husbands birthday and our waitress sang Happy Birthday! Super coolSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible CookOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014Our waitress was really friendly and nice and answered all of our questions. However, we expected a show/performance from the cook which Benihana is known for, but we did not get one. Our cook did not smile the whole time he was at our table until the end when he left. He did not put on a show for us unlike the other tables. It was a big let down as this was my first time at Benihana's and it was for my birthday.Special Features:
- Dinner& a show (dinner is the show)mdspbDined on 9/14/2014Watch your meal prepared in front of you with a little bit of flair.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BenihanaOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014The food and the chef show were both great. This is a great spot to go in japantown. We come here often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tourist experience only.HardtopleaseDined on 9/9/2014Chaotic experience. Conveyor belt service. Pot luck as to who you share your table with. Would only recommend if you make your own group. Food ok but the chef's act is worth the visit but then that's what it is known for.Special Features:
- Been here many times.RJSBDined on 9/9/2014This is the only Benihana's I've ever been to. Not for lack of trying, but other locations are slammed. Not that this spot isn't always busy at dinner time, they just seem to know how to work a crowd better and being in Japantown there is lots of competition. I've never had any complaints. They are always accommodating to my wife and I's dietary concerns and these days, that's all I really can ask for other than service that's mostly on the ball. They meet both those standards, and the food is solid. Plus the show element is always a nice touch.Special Features:
- A show that offers pretty good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/7/2014Benihana continues to offer a very entertaining exhibition. The experience is personal in that a chef cooks for groups of eight (or fewer), but the experience is also impersonal in that six to eight chefs are serving different groups of diners at one time. The chefs' actions (essentially the same as they were decades ago) hold everyone's attention, including kids and people who have doubts about Japanese cuisine. The food tastes pretty good, with just enough customization to make diners feel they matter as individuals. Groups sit around large grills and there are fan hoods over each grill. All of this metal means that the rooms have little sound absorption, so the din is overwhelming. One can barely hear the adjacent people or waitstaff.Special Features:
- Great location and food!DrLydiaGrayDined on 9/7/2014This Benihana is one of the best I've been to. Food was prepared very well, ambiance was great, clean and fresh. Hostess and waiters wre very attentitive. I had the Samurai and everything was prepared very well and delicious. For teppan, this is a great reliable restaurant in the City. Manager came by to greet and he was very interested in any feedback to make our experience better.Special Features:
- Fun dinnerLuvgdfoodVIPDined on 9/4/2014Great dining experience. Good for a group affair. Kid friendly a bit noisy though. The entertainment is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food & Entertainment1eat2drink3repeatDined on 8/30/2014My kids love it every time! It's a fantastic treat while visiting SF & it doesn't happen too often. Customer service is wonderful. In fact, it stirs up a bigger appetite while waiting & seeing the food cooking in front of you! Thank you, The Tran FamilySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loud!WilDD85Dined on 8/30/2014Very, Very loud restaurant. Probably one of the loudest I've ever been to. Overall, it was still Good regardless of the noise level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Entertainment, Bad Service!cyruDined on 8/27/2014I took my daughter here for her 21st birthday in which she had never been. She enjoyed the entertainment of the chef. As for me the chef placed a lot of salt on just about everything. Don't expect amazingly great food its really not Japanese food at all just American Japanese style. We went for lunch and it was not that crowded. Table server seem like she did not care about customer service. I had to ask to many questions about things she could have openly explained. Sorry! Don't think I will be back. If you want repeat business I believe you should learn how to treat your customers like kings and queens, just like how they do it in real Japanese restaurants in Japan.Special Features:
- Off night for service and foodAshMasonSFDined on 8/25/2014Our chef Jay seemed to be off that night. He couldn't even catch the things he tossed. Also, the fried rice and filet were bland and lacked seasoning. The check settling process also was a pain, as it seemed as though the hostess had trouble with our tender. First though, it took a while to get attention to be served at the bar. My friends and I were disappointed in the night overall - which is odd since we've always had a good experience at the Benihana in SF on my birthday. Probably wont be back for the occasion in the future.Special Features:
- MehWillDined on 8/24/2014They shoehorn way too many people at one table. The other guests were way ghetto, on beyond ghetto in fact... Not the restaurants fault, but... Servers do not check in on you... One of the worst benihana experiences I've ever had. I've eaten in about 20 different benihana restaurants. The chef and food were good though. I think I'm being generous with 3 stars.Special Features:
- Great!yummofoodieDined on 8/24/2014The food was very delicious. The only down fall were the screaming kids at lunch time. But we did go on a Sunday so its understandable. The food made it worth while. Thanks Sergio!Special Features:
- Great PlaceBenihannaGuyDined on 8/21/2014Great place food is always good. Ambiance service is always there and not to mention if you have any special requests like mine. Extra garlic butter chicken fried rice cooked a little crispy he he. I've been coming to Benihanna for years and still love coming hereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 30 Years Reunionhuang888laurenDined on 8/20/2014I had my 1st Benihana dinner in San Francisco Japantown around 30 years ago. It was a brilliant experience and memory (especially the cost of meal by that time was really expensive. That dinner was a treat from one of my wealthy relatives who have never been to the US before.). 30 years later I took my kids to visit the same restaurant again. This time we had a lunch. Both of my sons love this place. Food and services are fantastic as usual. And this place is now really kids friendly. Price for lunch is amazing, too! Great job! Would love to come again for birthday party soon in the future.Special Features:
- Not greatJeffpacDined on 8/19/2014Food was okay- no real complaints with food. My tea cup say empty for about 20 minutes. I went later in the evening (8:30) and the place was filthy. There was food all over the floor- not just under the table but throughout the place. Dining here was not a disaster but I don't plan in returning.Special Features:
- Benihana SF below chain's standardMarcoDined on 8/19/2014I have been at Benihana some times in different locations than SF. Last night I went to the Benihana at Japantown. Place is little larger than what I remember from others; food is superior as usual, especially meats; the "samurai-cook" who served for us was not so great, more in the attempt to please guests than to carefully prepare the stuff; the place was crowded by lot of people celebrating something and making barely bearable noise. I would not recommend the Benihana in SF although the chain is still worth experiencing.Special Features:
- A great experienceFoodieDined on 8/16/2014Our time at the restaurant was great!! Great service and food, very deliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CedbDined on 8/14/2014Good food. They almost cooked our food with a dirty spatula. It took 2 hours for a chef to come to our table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beninhana is one of the best.frany79Dined on 8/12/2014This place. Is one of my favorite restaurant. In san Francisco i like the. Place,the food bit the only thing. Don't. Like is the ambient is to small. The place and after. You eat your. Clothes. Smells.a food. Is hot. The. Place no to much ventilation And also the price on the beverage. Is a little. ExpensiveSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/10/20142nd time here and, while service was better than the first time, still subpar for a well known chain especially given how much they charge for a meal. If I'm going to spend $30 for a meal, I will go elsewhere.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014It was hard to hear because the hood needed to be on.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- a crowd pleaserScotchpepperDined on 8/2/2014You can't go wrong for big groups and a meal that's guaranteed to be entertaining.Special Features:
- Delicious as alwaysvickyinepaDined on 8/2/2014Benihana never disappoints with their quality of food and flavor. I would recommend letting your chef know to use garlic butter on the seafood, fried rice, chicken and meat. It gives it a great flavor!Special Features:
- FUN TIME BUT POOR FOODOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/27/2014MY WHOLE FAMILY HAD UPSET STOMACHS THAT NIGHT AND THE FOLLOWING DAY - FOOD QUALITY IS QUESTIONABLE.
- Chef and Food ReviewdiningforfunDined on 7/25/2014I loved the chef's display - he did a wonderful job. The food tasted wonderful! Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hostess Missed the MarkLMIARDined on 7/23/2014Made our reservation for 8:00 PM via Open Table and showed up at 7:58 PM was told we were too early to be seated... He then went on to forget about us and not seat us until 8:30 PM? What good is a reservation if the Restaurant does not honor it..? So much for us being on time.. Nonetheless, to be fair to the overall operation the dinner was fun and the food was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First impressions do countFeedingfeversDined on 7/23/2014Host staff could do a better job accommodating parties who have made reservations rather than making them feel like nuisances. We waited longer than we should have to sit, but then it got better. Friendly waitress and fun chef. Food was good, abundant. Drink (Mai tai) was light on alcohol, heavy on sugar. Kids loved it, though. Can't expect much more for an assembly-line restaurant.Special Features:
- :)luv2dineDined on 7/21/2014Luv benihana. I've never been in the same room with so many people with the same birthday as mine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- The City of Kalamazoo has adopted an ordinance to ban the use of fireworks from midnight to 8 a.m. during the upcoming 4th of July holiday and voted to give it immediate effect.
City Attorney Clyde Robinson says other cities including Grand Rapids, Holland and Portage have put similar bans in place after an explosion of complaints from people trying to get to sleep.
The City plans to publicize the ordinance as much as they can between now and the holiday to let people know that it's not only the neighborly thing to do, but it's a $500 fine if they get caught.

Omar Kelly's post on Miami Dolphins | Latest updates on Sulia
I initially thought there was NO WAY the Houston Texans would let Mario Williams get free, but I'm changing my tune after crunching the numbers. The Texans have about $6.8 million to work with in salary cap space for 2012. And they have to re-sign Arian Foster and Williams, who will likely get a record setting deal. That means they'll be cutting a ton of players, and letting many free agents walk no matter who they redo. Houston need to start restructuring some deals or they'll be picked apart.

Review Price free/subscription
Our Company of the Year awards was chosen from a selection of manufacturers who made the products featuring in our Awards. Unlike the Product of the Year 2010 votes however, there was a clear winner, with considerable margins between second and third place. We admit to some surprise regarding the champion here, but that's what Readers' choice is all about!
1st Place: HTCThanks no doubt in large part to the popularity of its Desire, which nearly won your Product of the Year top choice, Taiwan-based HTC is your favourite manufacturer. With gorgeous devices like the aluminium-clad Legend, it has certainly gone to greater efforts than most to make the smartphone lust-worthy. Crucially, its phones weren't just pretty on the outside, but thanks to its Sense skin also attractive in use. It reigns supreme in the top spot here, with nearly a quarter of all votes.
2nd Place: AppleWith the incredible popularity of devices like the iPad and iPhone 4, it was almost inevitable that Apple would be in the top three, and with just under 20 percent of your votes it's a solid second. Admittedly you pay premium prices, but then its products are consistently well-built, stunning to behold and work like a charm. How many other companies can say that?
3rd Place: GoogleIts ubiquity is such that its name is synonymous with Internet searching and with its Chrome browser steadily eating away at the competition, the company that 'does no evil' is also a dominant player in the mobile phone market thanks to its Android OS. Google's products are generally free, easy to use and very powerful, so it's no wonder you rather like it.
Samsung, Microsoft, Panasonic and Sony received the majority of the remaining votes between them.

Writing a Curriculum Vitae Curriculum Vitae vs. Resume A resume is a 1-2 page brief summary of education and experience used to demonstrate qualifications for a position or type of position. A curriculum vitae (CV) is a 3 or more page detailed biographical statement emphasizing qualifications and professional activities in detail. A CV is used for advanced positions in research and higher education and may be used for other positions when requested. For most job seekers, a resume is all that you will need. However, it may be useful to develop a CV as you further your education and achieve professional accomplishments. Why a Curriculum Vitae Besides using your CV to get a job upon graduation, it can also be used in other ways: 1.A supporting document to include when submitting a grant or funding proposal 2.A requirement for an annual review with your employer 3.A requirement for membership to a professional society 4.A requirement for applying to medical school 5.A background statement to be used to develop an introduction for a professional presentation at a conference or meeting

Getting Started with CVs and Cover Letters Every graduate student needs a curriculum vitae, or CV Your CV represents your accomplishments and experience as an academic and helps to establish your professional image. Well before you apply for faculty positions, you will use your CV to apply for fellowships and grants, to accompany submissions for publications or conference papers, when being considered for leadership roles or consulting projects, and more. CV's are also used when applying for some positions outside academia, such as in think tanks or research institutes, or for research positions in industry. As you progress through graduate school, you will, of course, add to your CV, but the basic areas to include are your contact information, education, research experience, teaching experience, publications, presentations, honors and awards, and contact information for your references, or those people willing to speak or write on your behalf. Some formatting pointers: There is no single best format. Refer to samples for ideas, but craft your CV to best reflect you and your unique accomplishments. Unlike a resume, there is no page limit, but most graduate students' CVs are two to five pages in length. Your CV may get no more than thirty seconds of the reader's attention, so ensure the most important information stands out. Keep it concise and relevant! Be strategic in how you order and entitle your categories. The most important information should be on the first page. Within each category, list items in reverse chronological order.
CV Samples The Basics The curriculum vitae, also known as a "CV" or "vita," is a comprehensive statement of your educational background and your teaching and research experience. It is the standard representation of credentials within academia. The CV is only used when applying for academic positions in four-year institutions. Do NOT use a CV when applying to community colleges; use a resume instead. Tailor your CV to the specific positions to which you are applying. A CV submitted for a position at a teaching-focused liberal arts college will strongly emphasize teaching, whereas a CV for a position at researchintensive university will accentuate research. Position more relevant sections earlier in the CV. CV format can vary by field, so also seek disciplinary-specific advice from advisers, professors and others within your field. There are no length restrictions for CVs. Formatting Your CV must be well organized and easy to read. Choose an effective format and be consistent. Use bolds, italics, underlines, and capitalization to draw attention. List all relevant items in reverse chronological order in each section Strategically locate the most important information near the top and/or left side of the page. In general, place the name of the position, title, award, or institution on the left side of the page and associated dates on the right. Use a footer to include page numbers & your last name, to help the reader in case pages get separated.
Writing a Curriculum Vitae (CV) Information accessible online by logging into Careers in Medicine (http://www.aamc.org/students/cim/). - Click on "Getting into Residency" - Click on "Writing a Curriculum Vitae (CV)" The first of many supporting documents you'll need for the residency application process is a curriculum vitae (CV). A CV is concise summary of relevant information about your background and accomplishments, particularly relating to your academic and work experience. Since much of the application process is electronic, the use of a CV to apply to programs is limited. The ERAS system will generate a CV for you automatically, but the format is very basic. While you may not need to send a separate CV with your applications, it's helpful to have one prepared anyway. Most of the information you include on a CV will also be required for the your residency application - having it all in one place on a CV will make writing your application and personal statement easier. Your school may also request a CV to aid in the preparation of your Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE). Lastly, you should provide a CV to faculty members who will write your letters of recommendation. Creating a CV takes time, but it's a tool you'll use throughout your professional life. You'll need to present complete but succinct information that will provide an overview of your qualifications. A CV is a living document that represents you -- properly constructed and with periodic updates, the CV you develop now can be used throughout your career.
The curriculum vitae (CV) is the most significant document in your academic application packet. The CV is a running record of your academic and professional achievements and experiences. Unlike the resume, which is used for jobs outside academia, the CV can be more than one page. Typically, CVs for doctoral candidates, post-docs, and recent grads are 2-6 pages. The CV should grow in length as you progress in your career. If you are having a difficult time getting started with your CV, check out the examples at the end of this handout and ask your advisor or mentor if you can see a copy of his/her CV. BASIC TIPS • Remember there is not one right way to compose your CV. • As you are writing your CV, check with a faculty member or other colleague within your discipline because some fields have different expectations regarding CV format and/or content. • Consider tailoring your CV for each job description. This takes time and energy but targeting your materials in the beginning should save you time in the end (in other words, you submit fewer applications and get a job in a shorter amount of time). • Keep in mind that the purpose of every document in your application packet is to show how you are passionate, forward-thinking, valuable, and a great match with the job description. • Always have somebody proofread your materials before you send them out. Having a misspelled word on the first page of your vitae is a good way to get your materials discarded.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a neoplastic disease with a continuously growing incidence in Romania and throughout the world. Although the surgery remains the first line treatment for most of the cases, newly discovered targeted molecular therapies – effective for some patients, but with various side effects and significant financial burden for the national health systems – requires not only stratification of patients in prognostic groups but also evaluation of some non-anatomic factors with major impact on the prognosis and therapeutic strategy. The AJCC/UICC TNM staging system, in his 7th revision, effective for cases diagnosed on or after January 1, 2010, responds to these needs. On the other hand, the role of the pathologist is increasing in terms of workload and amount of information to be included in the pathology report in order to deliver a personalized diagnosis. There are concerns worldwide regarding relevance, validity and completeness of pathologic reporting of CRC in the absence of a uniform reporting format. Therefore, suggestions for a standardized pathology report of CRC are made, based on TNM 7 and recent, up-to-date conclusive published data. Keywords: colorectal cancer, TNM 7, pathologic stage, prognostic, reporting.

Are you a TV Fanatic?

this house thing is really bothering you, isn't it?
Yes it is. His ultimate "masterplan" is een more lame than Katherine's "I do a hostage situation and be with steffie" one or Damon's "I do the hostage situation and get my hoe back".
It just sounds so...weak and generic and silly for someone who has been built up for entire season as some oldest powerful most paranoid most cruel vampire in the history of time, who murders entire families and villages just to make a point.
On the other hand, what exactly do you have to do to qualify as the main villain? Kill everyone in Mystic Falls except Elena, Damon, Stefan?
Going by the logical build up he had in S2, that would have already happened. He did it to Kat's whole family and town for running away and Miss Cardboard screwed him over how many time snow? ANd what he does? Empty words.
ACtor has the presence of villain but the script does not
Have him have an actual plan...or hell have him have no plan and be all book-klaus, painting houses red with her friend's innards just to get back at elena.
The keyword for klaus so far is :underwhelming.
Even Elijah was more threatening or "evil" in his first appearances(then he got soft...alot.)
God Elijah is hot!
On the point, the stupidity that this show allows themselves to show in Elijah is so effing immense. I honestly thought that he wouldn't be on Klaus' side since Klaus have nothing really to offer him. To be fair, Klaus have only killed Elijah once, but either way, atm. Elijah should have huge trust issues. He have been killed 5 times so far in about a year time or so. . . The first time i suppose he just lost a battle so Damon could stake him, but he lost because Elena managed to outsmart him, probably because he trust people to much. . . Fucking neanderthal. . .

Kentucky Offices Await Guidance On Same-Sex Marriage
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A federal judge said he will decide by late Friday afternoon whether to delay implementation of his order granting legal recognition to same-sex couples in Kentucky.
U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II said the ruling will come by 4 p.m. EST on the state's request to stay his decision overturning Kentucky's law barring recognition of same-sex unions in other states.
The decision will impact how quickly clerks of court around the state will have to handle requests for name changes and other legal benefits of marriage. On Thursday, Heyburn issued a final order in the case formally overturning the ban put in place by voters in 2004.
Jefferson County clerk's spokesman Nore Ghibaudy said as of Friday state officials have offered no notice that the law has changed and clerks' offices are awaiting guidance.

The Patriots sign defensive tackle Marcus Forston from their practice squad Saturday after cutting three year veteran Andre Neblett.
Forston, 24, was originally signed by the Patriots as a rookie free agent on May 10, 2012 out of Miami.
The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Forston was a beast at Miami and spent last season bouncing from the 53-man roster and the practice squad in New England. Forston is not expected to be much of a run stopper, but may have been added to the 53-man roster to give New England an additional pass rusher up the middle. During the preseason, Forston has shown that interior pressure on the quarterback has been his strength.
Last season, after spending most of his time on the practice squad, Forston eventually re-joined the 53-man roster prior to the AFC Championship Game but was inactive for the game. Forston made his NFL debut as a defensive reserve at Baltimore on Sept. 23, 2012. He went to training camp with the Patriots this past summer but was released on Aug. 31 and signed to the practice squad on Sept. 1.
Neblett, 25, was a three-year veteran from Carolina. He was signed to do one thing, stop the run. He could be over powered by offensive linemen if he doesn't stay low. At his height, he is still built like brickhouse and will have the ability clog up the running lanes, but his inability to rush the passer may have made him expendable.
There is still a chance the Patriots sign Neblett to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
Bryan Souza is a new contributor to Patriots Insider. He has extensive scouting knowledge of several college and pro teams throughout the country.

Burns are a type of injury caused by heat. The heat can be thermal, electrical, chemical, or electromagnetic energy. Most burn accidents occur at home. About 75 percent of all burn injuries in children are preventable.
Smoking and open flame are the leading causes of burn injury for older adults, while scalding is the leading cause of burn injury for children. Both infants and the elderly are at the greatest risk for burn injury.
A burn injury usually results from an energy transfer to the body. There are many types of burns caused by thermal, radiation, chemical, or electrical contact:
Thermal burns. Burns due to external heat sources which raise the temperature of the skin and tissues and cause tissue cell death or charring. Hot metals, scalding liquids, steam, and flames, when coming in contact with the skin, can cause thermal burns.
Radiation burns. Burns caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun, or to other sources of radiation such as X-ray.
Chemical burns. Burns caused by strong acids, alkalies, detergents, or solvents coming into contact with the skin and/or eyes.
Electrical burns. Burns from electrical current, either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).

The growing backlash against Warren Buffett
After defending Goldman Sachs and Moody's, the Oracle of Omaha is getting hit with criticism.
Public opinion is turning against Warren Buffett.
The billionaire investor is getting raked over the coals this week after defending credit ratings agencies like Moody's, saying that lots of people -- himself included -- did not expect the economy to implode.
"The entire American public was caught up in a belief that housing prices could not fall dramatically," he told a panel looking into the financial meltdown, according to The Associated Press.
Ratings agencies have been a constant target of criticism, mainly because they gave stellar scores to many mortgage-backed securities that would later prove to be junk. And Moody's made some serious cash in doing so, according to the AP, with revenue soaring from $600 million in 2000 to $2.2 billion in 2007.
If you were an investor who put any stock at all in what Moody's or its competitors said, you might have gone ahead and pursued a toxic investment like the Abacus deal from Goldman Sachs (GS). Moody's and Standard & Poor's both gave Abacus their highest AAA rating -- but Abacus would later cost investors hundreds of millions of dollars.
Post continues after video:
This comes a month or so after Buffett defended Goldman Sachs, one of the most vilified firms on Wall Street. "I haven't seen anything in Goldman's behavior that makes it any more subject to criticism than Wall Street generally," he said at a news conference, according to The Wall Street Journal.
And then you have Buffett's contradictory stance on derivatives, which he once called "financial weapons of mass destruction." Turns out that Berkshire has a $63 billion derivatives portfolio.
These have not been the best of times for Buffett or his reputation as a brilliant and ethical investor. Several high-profile financial observers are turning on Buffett this week.
Charlie Gasparino, speaking on Fox Business, says Buffett owns Moody's even though he believes the ratings agencies are a sleazy business. "That takes Warren Buffett down three notches in my book," he adds.
"Somehow in the last month, Buffett has gone from being the authority on value to defending some of the most dysfunctional and socially worthless elements of the global financial system," writes Bond Girl.
The rating agencies stamped pretty much anything with an AAA rating, and that was not just an intellectual accident, Bond Girl writes. Even worse, this behavior didn't end with the financial crisis.
The Pragmatic Capitalist goes a step further, saying the hypocrisy of Warren Buffett never ceases to amaze. "Are investors beginning to see Buffett for what he truly is -- just another Wall Street banker who just happens to live closer to a corn field than a skyscraper?"
Edmund Andrews says Buffett "has turned into an evasive, disingenous, bumbling buffoon." When Buffett was asked how he would change the ratings agencies to avoid future disasters, he was hard-pressed to come up with an answer, Andrews writes.
"Having basked for years in public adulation for his his investment brilliance . . . Buffett suddenly acted as if he hadn't the slightest idea about the goings-on at Moody's even though Berkshire Hathaway had been one of its biggest shareholders," Andrews writes.
Finally, Felix Salmon calls Buffett an institutional shareholder who actually owns and runs large companies of his own, and one who can act more like an owner than most shareholders.
But he doesn't, and he has no visible desire to fix the problems at Moody's or at the ratings agencies more generally. He just says he wishes he'd sold his Moody's stock earlier, passing on those losses to some other sucker. I don't think he's ever going to be able to live this one down.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter attended Woodlands for her kindergarten year. We loved it! Her teacher was awesome! We have since moved to CA and I must say that Woodlands is definitely better than the school she is attending here. I miss the many different extracurricular activities and am saddened that the schools here don't offer music and art classes like Woodlands did. The office staff was always very friendly and even stayed with my daughter after school when I locked my keys in my car and was late picking her up. I have to agree with one of the other postings on this site though. We were slightly involved with the PTA and noticed that there was almost no parent involvement. That could definitely be improved, but not a reflection of the school itself. I would definitely recommend Woodlands (we did an inter-district transfer just to attend this school).
I believe that Woodlands Elementary has wonderful, caring, hard working teachers. The office staff is always helpful. My child is new to Woodlands this year (because Tracyton Elem closed), and he was warmly welcomed by students, teachers, and staff.
The teachers and staff are very friendly. I think the quality of academic programs is average for Washington. There are many dedicated teachers at Woodlands. For extracurricular activies, they have a chess club, thespian club and some others. The level of parent involvement could definitely be better. Parents seem to come to major functions like band concerts or carnivals, but not many at PTA meetings.
Woodlands offers students an advanced reading period several times a week. They read poetry and short stories - this time really offers my son a chance to excel at reading.

Marmalade-Glazed Ham
Topping the ham with thinly sliced oranges provides an eye-catching contrast to its burnished crust and reinforces the citrus flavor of the glaze.

- 1 smoked bone-in ham (10 pounds)
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade (5 ounces)
- 3 tablespoons Madeira or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 navel orange
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover ham with a large piece of parchment and then foil. Place ham, widest side down, on a heavy rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour.
Step 2
Heat marmalade, Madeira or sherry, lemon juice, and juice of 1/2 orange in a saucepan over medium heat until runny, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Remove ham from oven, and uncover. Score ham all over in a diamond pattern. Brush 1/2 of the glaze over ham. Thinly slice remaining 1/2 orange, and arrange slices over glaze, covering the ham.
Step 4

These thoughts of mine come from a (requested) critique I did today of a zealous friend's proposals for Catholic Bible Study and "Sunday School" sorts of methods, that he would like to present to bishops for consideration. I disagreed in some emphases and presuppositions, though I agreed overall, in a broad sense. Though they will appear a bit random and scattered, this material gives readers an idea of how a Catholic (at least this Catholic) approaches Holy Scripture, in relation to the Church and Tradition. It's an entirely "pro-Bible" approach, but without the erroneous baggage of sola Scriptura and private judgment and other false Protestant notions.
* * * * *
According to my friend Al Kresta, if I recall correctly (a former Christian bookstore manager and pastor), only about 10% of evangelicals regularly attend Bible studies, frequent bookstores, etc. We shouldn't exaggerate too much how biblically literate they are, and overstate the case. Given the wholesale nonsense we find in many evangelical circles today, this aspect is probably getting worse all the time, too. But I agree that they do much better at it than Catholics. If they have 10% involvement, ours is maybe 1%, so they are, maybe (rough estimate from my own experience) ten times better than us in that respect.
I think a comprehensive Catholic Study Bible should have scholarly notes and apologetics and devotional, practical elements: put all those things together in one big package rather than create separate Bibles for devotion, scholarship, apologetics, etc.
If a priest can give a good, understandable homily, he can lead a Bible study. That would be a good test. But who will tell them they give a lousy homily? We don't want a catch-22 where only uneducated laity teach. Isn't that self-defeating? They need some knowledge and education in order to be able to teach effectively in the first place. I don't think it is educational level that is the problem, so much as the fact that laypeople are fired up and motivated and orthodox, whereas too many clergy (for whatever reasons) lack those qualities. When priests have that pride that they can do it all, and no laypeople can help at all in teaching, usually it is a liberal mentality and the good ole clergy-laity dichotomy that the Church has urged against in many documents.
Women, especially, resonate with a more "practical / daily living" approach, but it can't become too dominant, lest doctrine be minimized. Also, we must guard against the danger of philosophical pragmatism, which runs rampant in evangelicalism with the trendy, "give-the-people-the-service-they-like" nonsense that many evangelicals themselves are vehemently criticizing. The same could happen to us if we aren't careful. Satan would love that.
I actually like the different day approach better, rather than Sunday school, because people seem to want to do things for shorter periods of time rather than long spaces of time stuck together. One has to determine how much to cater to the current preferences of human beings. If we want to emphasize practicality, then we'll have to bend somewhat to people's felt needs: whether or not we accept them in and of themselves as legitimate and defensible. This is a large part of the task. The whole notion of applying this stuff to people's everyday lives also has relevance to the very structure of the programs suggested, which also have to be applied to people's everyday lives. Much as I immensely admire John Wesley (whose methods you seem to be largely suggesting), it is not at all certain that his methods are the best ones for all time, in all conceivable circumstances. That's entirely debatable, just as any other method, as opposed to doctrine, is. Chances are that the best, most effective methods will differ in every age or era.
I'd say emphasize the Wednesday night thing but not that and Sunday School, because it probably won't work, whatever its intrinsic merits are. If the thing doesn't work and bring people out, it'll fail in its purpose even if it is the best method in the world. It is an acknowledgment of the reality of how people are in 21st-century America. I'm as idealist as anyone, but we have to face facts of the present situation, too.
Do all people want to do meet in small groups, or have that need? Sometimes yes, other times not, and then we have to incorporate folks who prefer a less personal, more standard "classroom" environment; back to the question of felt needs, that are not all the same. Just the gender difference alone is a vastly different approach and collection of needs.
Traditionally, Catholics got plenty of fellowship through groups like Knights of Columbus and so forth. Also, parishes were neighborhoods in a sense much stronger than we see today. My own family goes to a church downtown, that has nothing to do with my neighborhood at all. And we do that because it is orthodox and traditional. Suburbs themselves are far less communitarian than the cities where Catholics usually congregated (often in ethnic conclaves). Now the "sociologist" from my college background is speaking! These factors have a lot to do with the lessening of fellowship: not simply the lack of Protestant methods. This ought to be noted, lest someone think that Catholics have always been deficient in these regards, whereas I highly doubt that that was the case. We can't project our time onto all of Catholic history. Even 50 years ago it was vastly different in the social sense.
My own kids go to three thriving teen groups at a Catholic parish nearby (not our own). This is providing them with tons of fellowship and teaching, too, and retreats and social outreaches. It's a positive example of what can be done. This works because of the desire that teens have to fellowship (and to meet mates). But that doesn't always transfer to older groups. The singles group where I met my wife Judy in the Assemblies of God was of a similar nature. They work because of the strong needs of that age group to congregate and do "fun" activities together, with fellow Christians. At least it is something that is happening in Catholic circles that has some excitement and participation in it. My kids are greatly benefiting from it.
Bible memorization is not an unmixed blessing. Sometimes it can encourage a fundamentalist-type "prooftexting" mentality that tends to go towards the Protestant sola Scriptura approach and neglect context.
Despite all of this biblical emphasis in Protestantism, what overall result has been produced? We see an evangelicalism increasingly fractured and soaked-through with a number of false notions, such as privatization, subjectivism, pragmatism, faddism (that I was reading about 25 years ago in Schaeffer and Os Guinness), that cannot achieve doctrinal unity, nor can it even achieve a consensus on issues like abortion, divorce, contraception, et al. Catholicism has avoided much of that nonsense and has correct doctrine and moral teaching. In other words, people can know the Bible backwards and forwards, but still interpret it wrongly and arrive at damnable conclusions on any number of issues.
In a sense, then, it is far better (given a hypothetical stark choice) to have a Catholic simply accept Church teachings on faith, than a Protestant who knows his Bible like the back of his hand, but is wrong on many important issues, even to the extent of endangering his soul, and has no or very little sense of the history of Christian doctrine. That's why my own personal belief is that solid catechetics and apologetics are relatively a lot more important than Bible study per se, because it has the built-in doctrinal standards and interpretation of the Bible according to the Church. All this strong, very "Protestant"-like emphasis you put on Bible study, I would put on catechesis and apologetics. Bible study can certainly be part of that, but I wouldn't place it as the highest priority. And this has been proven in practice, by dioceses that have good teaching and solid bishops, and by parishes with an apologetic emphasis, that are growing by leaps and bounds. The apologetics movement is a revival right now. It's working. So it would be good to include it in this overall mix.
It's fine, but is it really necessary to read one's Bible along with the priest during his homily? Reading is not obviously preferable to hearing. Hearing things is just as effective a communication (and this is presupposed in biblical passages about oral tradition), though on the other hand, I've heard it said that the more senses one involves, the better they remember. One could argue, then, that it would be a memory aid, if nothing else. When Paul and Peter preached, people weren't following along with Bibles.
I think the goal should be a deeper one: to enamor people with doctrinal Catholic truth, however they receive it. That can be achieved by homilies or good Bible teaching, or traditional catechetics, or apologetics, RCIA, adult formation classes, or through more devotional practices that have a secondary doctrinal emphasis. I have no objection whatever to any Bible study. My own emphasis is obviously overwhelmingly biblical. I'm just saying that it is not necessarily an absolute requirement to read the Bible while at Mass. One can encourage it without making out that it is a necessity, or that those who prefer not to do it are somehow second-class simply because they are able to effectively hear a passage without also reading it (like a number of emphases in evangelicalism make people feel). It's a matter of good and better, not good and bad. If it gets too legalistic, it'll fail and these goals of increased Catholic biblical literacy won't even get off the ground.
Protestants are reading the Bible but they don't arrive at doctrinal truths in many many cases. To the extent that one disconnects Bible study from Catholic dogma and guidance, to that extent, there will be more error and more people leaving the Church, because they might adopt the Protestant principle private judgment. It's a danger that has to be vigilantly avoided.
There must be some reason that the Church in her wisdom has arrived at certain methods in the Mass. It would be good for us to fully understand those before setting out on some reform of the Mass. Chesterton wrote in The Everlasting Man:
It is chiefly interesting as evidence that the boldest plans for the future invoke the authority of the past; and that even a revolutionary seeks to satisfy himself that he is also a reactionary.We can appeal to Methodist Past (Sunday School, that John Wesley began) and Evangelical Present (various "people-friendly" methods and tactics, but how about Catholic Past? It is not true, I highly suspect, that the Catholic Church has always failed to properly teach the Bible and never at any time or place did it right. That's why I think we need to do an intensive study of these aspects through Church history and look for a model that worked in the past or in some other culture today, that was fully Catholic.
Given a theoretical choice, I'd be much more happy about Catholics being comfortable with Catholic dogma in its entirety "in their hands" (as opposed to the Bible) and an understanding of same and ability to share and defend it. That can be achieved through many means, including the Bible but also Sacred Tradition and Church proclamations and philosophy and apologetics. To share and defend Catholic truth is also more than simply citing biblical texts (much as I do that myself). It involves reason and an understanding of history and the Catholic Mind, and systematic theology. All of this comes through teaching that is not confined to the Bible itself; yet we can underestimate the importance of these things, if we place overwhelming emphasis on Bible study. It's a very complex discussion. I've been accused more than once of applying sola Scriptura methods in my apologetics. I don't at all; they don't get it (they presuppose that any Bible citation at all entails sola Scriptura, which is ludicrous), but the very objection illustrates the confusion between the Protestant and Catholic ways of viewing authority.
Reading the Bible along with the priest shouldn't be an absolute requirement. To do so looks down on oral teaching, which is impossible to do based on the Bible alone. All the oral teaching in the NT was done without folks sitting with a NT in their hands while they heard it. This oral tradition had every bit as much authority in and of itself as the later written Bible did. That being the case, it is impossible to say that listening to this inspired word being read today is insufficient in its purpose if a person isn't also physically reading it.
If we want to get really technical, it is not at all clear to me that even Bible memorization is required. I don't try to memorize the Bible; I try to habitually use it and study it. That's two different things. If a person wants to memorize large parts of it, great. More power to them. Is it necessary for all to do? No, not at all. It is necessary – again – to understand the Catholic faith in its entirety, so that it becomes part of us, and so that we can effectively share it and give reasons for why we believe what we believe. All of that requires far more than mere Bible memorization. You can quote a Bible verse at a person but as soon as he asks why you apply it the way you do then you have to go to other Bible passages and to reason and Tradition. The good Catholic apologist can literally wipe the floor with a Bible-soaked fundamentalist Protestant in debate because the latter quite often has no inkling of his premises and how to consistently apply biblical teaching to doctrine.
I would highly recommend for anyone pondering this topic, that they read Cardinal Newman's On the Inspiration of Scripture, available online.
I would be less inclined to tout evangelicals for understanding of the incorporation of the Bible into the full Catholic life. Yes, they do manage to get people enthused about the Bible, but that is only about 25% of the battle, in my opinion, per my comments above. If we're simply talking about Bible enthusiasm and familiarity, then sure, of course: evangelicals do far, far better than Catholics at the present time. If we're talking about an overall passing on of the full, biblical, Catholic truth, on the other hand, we are better, at least in terms of what we actually teach (but that is the problem: getting it to the people so they can benefit from all this truth). Truth and fullness of truth are antecedent to proclamation and method.
It's somewhat like the debate in the 16th century, where Protestants cared relatively little for the accuracy of translation, and simply wanted to pass out Bibles by the millions. They reasoned that this would make people better Christians, or (depending on theology), Christians, period (i.e., "saved," in the evangelical sense). In some cases, yes, but the overall result was a rampant sectarianism and thus, theological relativism in many areas. This is one of the points I'm trying to make: simply having more Bible: reading, memorizing is not an unmixed good, because of human sin and what people too often wrongly do with the Bible (which is itself wonderful). I'm not so much disagreeing with Catholic Sunday School or a concentrated Bible reading program, as I am taking it to a deeper, more presuppositional level (as I often do: it is the socratic method, after all, that I love).
You mentioned a church that I attended for four years, and claim that Bible study attendance was 80% of the congregation. I'm not sure at all that the numbers were that high, but let's assume that they were. Did that mean that these people were mature Christians, with a deep understanding of Scripture? Hardly. You had mushy, milky preaching from the pulpit for the most part, and infatuation with Jim Bakker and PTL et al (before the scandal hit). Kenneth Copeland was not rebuked from the pulpit, even though his errors were believed by many in the church. I rarely learned anything from the sermons (and I wanted to, believe me). Dick Bieber's sermons at Messiah Lutheran had infinitely more meat and challenge in them. You had the stupid "name-it-claim it" doctrine running rampant. I went through this all the time, trying to reason with friends of mine in the singles group I was in. We personally knew people who didn't brush their teeth, or denied that they had a cold, because that was a bad "claim." You had ridiculous "prophesying" during services, and people going up front week after week to get "saved." Error was all over the place, so a lot of good tons of Bible study did, if they were not being disabused of their obvious errors. The use of the Bible is only as good as the knowledge and orthodoxy of those who are teaching it or reading it.
Part of my analysis is a warning based on past history and the influence on Catholics that Protestantism already has. It is a matter of human behavior (sometimes). I'm all for the Bible Study plan in its broad outlines, but unless we are aware of the dangers involved, then we'll be in for a big disappointment. You don't just rush into a thing without proper, sombre analysis. Per the Chesterton citation I gave, I think this sort of thing has to be undertaken with a deep knowledge of how these things were approached in the history of the Church. We can't just ape Protestant methods, and naively think that we won't have any of the huge problems that they themselves have had, largely because of those methods. There is an overlap. We can give our people Church and Tradition, but we have to be very careful not to fall into Protestant assumptions that are hostile to Catholicism, because it is very easy to do: those being often the more natural human responses and not to often the most reasonable or orthodox ones.
I don't want anyone to be afraid; only wise and properly prepared and aware of excesses that have already occurred in Protestant circles. We can learn from Protestant mistakes as well as their successes. Any methodology can be critiqued. It's not written in stone. This ain't doctrine; it's how to best promulgate doctrine and love and use of the Bible. Certainly honest men can differ about how to do that. I differ in some respects with other equally orthodox Catholics, and my overwhelming emphasis in my own apologetics is indeed the Bible. In other words, no one (who is at all familiar with my work) can possibly claim that I don't care about Bible reading and Bible study. My arguments are permeated with it from top to bottom. I could even say that I love nothing more. I'm simply offering constructive advice as I see it.
I'm not advocating not reading the Bible individually. Not at all! I fully agree with all the positive statements in that regard that the Church has made. But it has to be in the overall context of Catholic teaching (a thing that these same documents highly stress, for many of the same reasons I am giving). Arguably, many Catholics are not thinking sufficiently "Protestant" with respect to Bible reading and study and reverence (and one could rightly contend that they should because the evangelical Protestants have done better at that in practice). It is not inconceivable, however, that some aspects of Catholic thinking about the Bible may not be sufficiently Catholic. That's true -- or potentially true -- of all of us at all times. We have to be very self-consciously aware that we are in conformity with the Mind of the Church.
That's why I recommended reading Cardinal Newman on the topic: a man who was a fervent Protestant and then became a great Catholic thinker. That's the type of thing that will allow us to draw from the best in both traditions. But we can't just uncritically draw from Protestant successes in limited areas without giving past Catholic practice in this same regard its due, and thoroughly understanding its internal justifications. A Catholic should read, for example, the debates between St. Thomas More and William Tyndale, which illustrate the different ways that Protestants and Catholics approach the Bible.
I deny the whole root assumption that Protestants have, that every doctrine, even in particulars, has to have explicit biblical proof (which a Catholic notion of material sufficiency doesn't require), etc. It is the place of the Bible in the overall mix that they get quite wrong, and if we try to imitate them too much, we could possibly fall into the same error, almost despite ourselves. Bishops' fears about this are quite justified, based on historical precedent. There is a proper middle ground in all this.
I think we should ignore the clergy/laity distinction altogether when it comes to Bible study. We should simply pick the best man or woman to be found in the parish for the task. If that is the priest, he should do it. If he is too busy, or a layperson can do a better job, then they should do it. I don't see why we have to consciously restrict it to the laymen.
Catholic Bible study has to be placed in an overall context of traditional catechetics, apologetics, prayer meetings, devotional and spiritual elements and activities, eucharistic devotion: the whole nine yards.
I'm not against Bible memorization altogether, or indeed any kind of memorization, but only its insufficiency if it is done by "rote" without awareness of the larger principles embodied by the things memorized, or for mere "prooftexting" purposes, without sufficient background knowledge or awareness of systematic theology and the dogmas of the Church. If anyone reads what I wrote above about memorization very carefully, they'll see that I made many qualifications, and was not against the thing itself. Memory techniques are especially good for children (to use one example) because much of their learning in the very early stages is rote, anyway.

Gov. Nathan Deal recently informed the Obama administration that Georgia will not set up its own health care exchange, citing the administration's "one-size fits all" approach and the high cost that the law places on states.
"I remain committed to common sense health care solutions that empower consumers to take responsibility for their own health, motivate the private sector and drive efficiencies for consumers, employers and governments alike," stated Deal in a press release.
"I continue to hope that we might finally engage in a serious conversation about restoring meaningful flexibility to states around health care programs."
Deal said the federal government needs to loosen regulations that restrict states' options. He said he would support a "free market-based approach that could serve as a useful tool for Georgia's small businesses, but federal guidelines forbid that."
Senate Democrats in Georgia already have criticized Deal's decision.
"It is unfortunate that the Governor has chosen to put politics over the needs of Georgians. He has ignored his own blue ribbon panel's recommendation to include state health care exchanges," said Sen. Vincent Fort, whip of the Senate Democratic Caucus.
Deal's characterization of the health care exchanges as a one-size-fits-all contradicts the reality that we are sacrificing any impact the state of Georgia may have in how our exchange is set up, Fort said in a news release sent by the Senate Democratic Caucus.
"Regardless of his decision not to set up the exchanges, we urge him to proceed with the expansion of Medicaid so thousands more Georgians can have access to health care, including children and families caring for aging parents," Fort said.
What do you think about the governor's decision?

The parents of a 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who has been waiting for a lung transplant for a year and a half are calling for a change in the policy governing organ transplants that they say has prevented their increasingly sick daughter from getting life-saving surgery.
Sarah Murnaghan of Newtown Square has end-stage cystic fibrosis and has been unable to leave Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for three months, needing a ventilator to breathe, according to an online petition that had drawn more than 17,000 supporters by Monday. Her mother, Janet, said her daughter has only a matter of weeks to live.
Sarah has been awaiting a transplant from a pediatric donor and is also eligible for a lung from an adult donor. Under a policy instituted in 2005, organ allocation policies are supposed to be based on severity of illness rather than the amount of time on the waiting list, but that approach only applies to patients over the age of 12. Sarah is a top priority on the pediatric list, but officials say there are far fewer pediatric donors due to improved treatment.
