Cox-2 Inhibitors
Pharmacy Author: Omudhome Ogbru, PharmD
What are NSAIDs and what are Cox-2 inhibitors?
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of drugs that reduce inflammation but are different from steroids, another class of drugs that also reduces inflammation. NSAIDs reduce pain, fever, and swelling and are commonly prescribed for the inflammation of the joints (arthritis) and other tissues, such as in tendinitis and bursitis. Examples of NSAIDs include:
NSAIDs are used frequently by millions of individuals for treatment of pain, fever and swelling caused by inflammatory conditions as well as for pain alone. NSAIDs work by blocking the production of prostaglandins, chemical messengers that often are responsible for the pain and swelling of inflammatory conditions.
Prostaglandins are made by two different enzymes, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The prostaglandins made by the two different enzymes have slightly different effects on the body. COX-2 inhibitors are NSAIDs that selectively block the COX-2 enzyme and not the COX-1 enzyme. Blocking this enzyme impedes the production of prostaglandins by the COX-2 enzyme that often cause the pain and swelling of inflammation and other painful conditions. Because they selectively block the COX-2 enzyme and not the COX-1 enzyme, these drugs are uniquely different from traditional NSAIDs which usually block both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes.
COX-2 inhibitors are used for treating:
What is the basic difference between traditional NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors?
COX-1 is an enzyme which is normally present in a variety of tissues in the body, including sites of inflammation and the stomach. Some of the prostaglandins made by COX-1 protect the inner lining of the stomach. Common NSAIDs such as aspirin block both COX-1 and COX-2 (see below). When the COX-1 enzyme is blocked, inflammation is reduced, but the protection of the lining of the stomach also is lost. This can cause stomach upset as well as ulceration and bleeding from the stomach and even the intestines.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies let the baggage from a four-game road trip linger only slightly before turning up the defence to snap their losing streak.
The Grizzlies, returning home from a four-game West Coast swing last week during which they lost the final two, got 20 points and six assists from Mike Conley in a 92-77 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.
For the Grizzlies, it was a nice homecoming after losing at Denver on Friday and Utah on Saturday. Early against the Timberwolves, there seemed to be a lack of intensity lingering from the trip, but it was short-lived.
"It kind of happens after a long road trip," said Grizzlies centre Marc Gasol, who finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, five assists and four blocks. "The first quarter is always a little weird. . But we reacted pretty good. We weren't clicking offensively like we want to. We were not making the shots we normally make, but defensively, I think we picked it up real well."
Conley was 8 of 14 from the field and connected on 3 of 6 from beyond the arc to help Memphis earn its 10th straight win in the series. Jerryd Bayless added 15 points, and Zach Randolph had 14 points and 10 rebounds. Tayshaun Prince scored 12 points and grabbed a season-high 14 rebounds.
Alexey Shved led the Timberwolves with 12 points, and Mickael Gelabale and J.J. Barea finished with 11 apiece. The Timberwolves' reserves scored 44 points as no Minnesota starter finished in double figures.
Timberwolves guard Ricky Rubio left the game after coming down awkwardly on a fast break with about 3 minutes left in the third quarter. He went to the locker room briefly with a minor groin strain. He was available, but did not return to the game. He finished with two points and two assists.
"He said he could have played, but I wasn't going to put him back in there," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. "It wasn't worth it."
Minnesota, which defeated New Orleans 97-95 on Sunday, shot 34 per cent and was outscored 50-28 in the paint.
"We just played very poorly offensively and never really gave ourselves a chance to win," Adelman said. "We shot low 30 per cent and didn't move the ball very well. I don't know if it's as much to do with them as it is to do with ourselves.
"I did think we ran out of gas. At the start of the third quarter, it was like we had nothing left."
Memphis, as it has for about the last 10 games, pulled away with a quick start in the third quarter. The Grizzlies opened the period with nine straight points to start a 13-2 run that gave them their largest lead to that point at 58-41.
Minnesota managed to convert only one of its first nine attempts, while Memphis connected on six straight.
The Grizzlies' lead continued to swell, reaching 20 near the midway point of the period.
The Grizzlies outscored Minnesota 29-14 in the quarter, upping their lead to as many as 25 points. Memphis hit 13 of 19 shots, while the Timberwolves were 4 of 21.
"We were playing good in the first half," Rubio said, "but they were coming out more aggressive in the third quarter than we were."
Minnesota centre Nikola Pekovic added that while they played pretty well in the first half, "the first 6 or 7 minutes of the third quarter, they just jumped on us, and we never really responded the right way."
The Timberwolves would not have a player reach double figures until Shved's 3-point play with 10:03 to play in the game.
That cut the Grizzlies' lead to 79-63, but the Timberwolves would never threaten the rest of the way.
"We came out slow in the first quarter," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "We were dragging a little bit, but then we got it going. We actually played pretty good."
The Grizzlies led 45-39 at the break behind 11 points from Gasol. Derrick Williams and Pekovic had eight points each for the Timberwolves.
Neither team shot particularly well, Memphis doing best with 44 per cent, but the Grizzlies converted only one of six shots from outside the arc.
Minnesota was 4 of 13 from outside in the half.
NOTES: Minnesota has not won consecutive games since a four-game winning streak in December. ... Memphis F Darrell Arthur missed his eighth game with neck and back soreness. ... Conley recorded a steal in the first quarter and now has 57 straight games with a steal. His two steals in the game gave him 146 for the season, a franchise record. ... Minnesota's road record now is 7-26, including eight consecutive losses away from home. ... Gelabale had seven rebounds matching his season-best.

"Labor priests" were a recognized presence in the labor movement of the 1920s through the 1960s. Father Barry, the Karl Malden character in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront," was the model of the priest who sided with workers.
Priests conducted Parish Labor Schools where workers interested in collective bargaining studied Catholic social justice doctrine, labor law, and parliamentary procedure.
When Montravias King, a senior at North Carolina's historically black Elizabeth City State University, showed up at a hearing before the Pasquotank County Board of Elections earlier this month to defend his bid for a city council seat, he faced off against Richard "Pete" Gilbert, the local Republican Party chair.
It's a sad state of affairs when a country that touts freedom of the press depends upon cable TV comedy shows to hear the real news.
It was Primary Day in Alabama on Tuesday and the first time since passage of the law that the state's Republican-enacted polling place Photo ID restriction on voting has been in place. Sure enough, the voter suppression law was successful, as voters were immediately disenfranchised by the new restriction, according to Zach Roth at MSNBC...
More than 40 organizations under the umbrella group Save OurSelves: A Movement for Justice and Democracy, or SOS "presented 13,653 signatures to the Capitol doorstep in a coffin carried by six pallbearers," the Montgomery Advertiser reports. Individuals told personal stories of waiting years to access coverage, with some eventually dying from lack of health care. A recent study conducted by Harvard researchers estimated that as many as 17,000 people will die directly as a result of their states refusing to expand Medicaid.
RALEIGH, NC - People from all across North Carolina rallied at the General Assembly yesterday for the latest Moral Monday protest of harmful legislation passed last year by Gov. Pat McCrory and the legislature. Despite the legislature locking the doors in an attempt to keep petitioners out, a group of 11 people - everyday North Carolinians impacted by a lack of heath care access and environmentally polluting policies - staged a sit-in at the governor's office.
Specious slogans dominate key midterm Senate battles in Appalachia, burying West Virginia coal chemical disaster
On Monday, President Barack Obama is expected to announce a new Environmental Protection Agency regulation to cut CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants by 30 percent, setting a cap that will require states to trade or shift toward clean energy alternatives. U.S. Senate candidates in pivotal coal-producing Appalachian states, however, have already fired the opening salvo in the next battle over dirty coal.
It was a sunny March morning when Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner (D) and her small band boarded the No. 4 bus, beginning their trek from the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati to a proposed new county Board of Elections in Mount Airy.
The trip, she said, was meant to show how a decision to move early voting from downtown to the suburbs would make it extremely difficult for Hamilton County voters that didn't have a vehicle.
In its 2013 decision in Arizona v. The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Arizona's proof of citizenship law for voter registration violated the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
In 2004, Ohio had the longest lines in the country on Election Day, with some voters—particularly in large urban areas—waiting as long as seven hours to vote. A DNC survey estimated that 174,000 Ohioans—3 percent of the state's electorate—left without voting. George W. Bush won the state by just 118,000 votes.

What issues should the U.S. Congress be addressing/prioritizing to prepare for a changing United States as we progress toward 2050?
As time passes, the United States will, more than likely, see changes within its demographics and its society as it gets closer and closer to 2050.
Data indicates that the U.S. population will not only grow but also see an increase in the aging of its citizens the closer we get to 2050. In addition, medical and technological advances will possibly enable people to live a longer, healthier, more productive life.
As well, some of the regions of the United States will see increases in terms of population which will stress the water resources and infrastructure of the area.
It is likely that many major cities will continue to be densely populated but many suburban areas will also experience tremendous growth.
Immigrant groups are also going to continue to grow and cultural, language, and educational needs are going to be addressed for this segment of the population.
Obviously, technology is advancing and this is going to impact things such as education, communication, and transportation in the near future, in 2050, and beyond
Furthermore, much of the infrastructure of the country is aging and in need of repair. Roads will possibly need to be widened to accommodate larger populations and bridges will have to be refurbished to ensure the safe travel of motorists and goods.
Overall, it is safe to say that the next 30+ years in the United States will bring about tremendous change.
As a result of these impending changes, amongst others, what issues should the lawmakers (Congress) of the United States be addressing and prioritizing to ensure that the citizens of the United States are adequately prepared when 2050 gets here?
This topic will be discussed/utilized in a high school class. Individuals are encouraged to comment and provide elaborate responses so that the high school students can evaluate and learn from your responses.

New York, NY, United States (4E) – Sprint Nextel Corp. plans to acquire the 49 per cent stake in Clearwire Corp. that it still does not own, a move to consolidate the company that plays a key role in Sprint's ambition to build a nationwide network capable of challenging AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless.
In its regulatory filing today, Sprint is offering to buy the remaining shares for $2.90 each. The telecommunication carrier already owns more than 50 per cent of Clearwire.
The deal will involve $2.1bn in cash infusion and would include up to $800mn interim financing to Clearwire. As of September, Clearwire has around $4.2bn in long-term debt.
In October, Japan's Softbank Corp. provided a cash influx to Sprint by purchasing 70 per cent of the third-largest U.S. carrier for about $20bn.
Clearwire has never managed make a profit, although it has a number of airwaves to its name spanning across the country. That asset could allow Sprint to improve its own network, giving it the ability to handle a surge of traffic produced by handheld devices like tablets and smartphones.
The Clearwire venture was started by Sprint in 2008 with the objective to build a high-speed wireless network that would change the landscape of the telecommunications industry. So far, Clearwire has failed to live up to expectations, and the costs piled up to billions of dollars of losses for the company.

When my father was struggling with memory loss, his doctors prescribed both Aricept and Namenda. If they helped his memory and thinking, I couldn't tell. For Dad, the side effects of these medicines didn't seem to be worth any benefit.
Dad and my nephew Chris play the piano
But for other people with memory loss, these drugs seem to be very helpful, and the side effects are generally tolerable. This wide variety in benefits and side effects may be what the American Academy of Family Practitioners (AAFP) and the American College of Physicians (ACP) were trying to address when they published new guidelines about drug treatment of dementia last month.
The guidelines are based on a meta-analysis of previous studies of the cholinesterase inhibitors Aricept, Razadyne, Exelon and tacrine (no longer commonly prescribed) as well as memantine (Namenda).
The news item on the AAFP site summarizes the guidelines for doctors this way:
If you're considering pharmacological therapy for a patient with dementia, be aware that there's only modest evidence of clinically meaningful benefit for the average patient. Therefore, conduct an individualized assessment of your patient and his or her situation, in consultation with caregivers, to determine if a trial of drug therapy is appropriate. If you decide to prescribe, choose one of the five FDA-approved drugs for dementia based on cost, ease of use, tolerability and side effects, because currently there's no convincing evidence that any one of the drugs is more effective than another.
I'm not sure there's anything new in this recommendation. But the bleak photo accompanying the news on the AAFP site started me thinking. It shows an older woman staring blankly out a kitchen window. She looks lonely, unhappy, and disengaged. Is this how doctors see people with Alzheimer's and dementia? Maybe this stock photo is an accurate portrayal of the average memory loss patient, but it's not typical of many I know. Their lives are far richer and meaningful than what the photo implies. This more positive view is addressed in a soon-to-be-published paper by Renee Beard (a geriatric sociologist at the University of Illinois - Chicago), Don Moyer and Jenny Knaus.
My father's love of family, friends and animals, along with his fascination with music, sailing and gardening, defined him much more than his memory loss did. But did his doctors just see a male version of the stock photo? It's hard to say.
Maybe I'm overreacting to the picture on the AAFP site – let me know what you think.

(ABC NEWS) -- Jen Arnold is sharing more details about her ongoing cancer battle.
The star of TLC's "The Little Couple," told PEOPLE magazine that she was diagnosed with stage 3 choriocarcinoma, a rare cancer that formed during a non-viable pregnancy she had in September.
"The one time I get pregnant," she told the magazine, "I get cancer."
Arnold and her husband, Bill Klein, both 39, were in India with their son Will, 3, to pick up their daughter Zoey, 2, when Arnold began bleeding. After her OB-GYN advised her to return home to Houston, Klein stayed with their kids to finish necessary adoption paperwork for Zoey.
"My initial thoughts were all about Zoey," Arnold tells PEOPLE. "But then the bleeding got worse and I was feeling light-headed. It was a hard decision, but I had to go home."
Ultimately, after chemotherapy failed to shrink the tumor in her uterus, doctors were forced to perform a hysterectomy.
"We wanted to avoid surgery in her case because of her shortened airway and the difficulties she has had in the past with surgeries," Dr. Concepcion R. Diaz-Arrastia, director of gynecology oncology at Baylor College of Medicine, who is treating Arnold, told the magazine. "But we felt we had no choice. The disease was not responding to chemotherapy. We had to do this in order to save her life."

The Westminster High football team had two goals in mind when it entered Ruby Field on Friday night: beat longtime rival South Carroll for the county title, and complete the first undefeated and untied regular season in school history.
With those accomplishments now in hand, the Owls can move on to their main goal of winning the school's first state football championship.
Westminster effectively mixed its running and passing games and unleashed the county's best defense in a 42-7 romp over the Cavaliers on Friday night at Ruby Field. Coach Brad Wilson's team completed the first undefeated regular season in program history, while earning its second consecutive county championship.
The Owls (10-0, 5-0 county), who outgained South Carroll by a 389-145 margin, were never threatened as they built even greater momentum heading into the Class 4A North regional playoffs.
"I want the kids to enjoy this, because going undefeated is big," said Wilson, now in his ninth year at Westminster. "But they're not done, and they have had only one goal on their minds since January. They're a mature group that works on getting better with each practice.
"We talked about three chapters in our book. The first chapter is done, the second starts next week, and hopefully we can keep playing the way we've been and get to that final chapter at the state championship."
Westminster and South Carroll had already clinched playoff spots before the season finale.
But they will be joined in the postseason by Manchester Valley.
The Mavericks' 26-7 win over North Carroll, combined with Northwestern-Baltimore's loss to Reginald Lewis, clinched the first-ever playoff spot for the four-year old program. Coach Tony Shermeyer's Mavericks will travel to either New Town in Owings Mills or Baltimore's Reginald Lewis next Saturday for a Class 1A North regional semifinal.
On Friday night, Westminster will host a playoff game for the first time since 2005. The Owls will host Blake (6-4), from Silver Spring, in a Class 4A North regional semifinal.
After dropping its first two games, Blake won six of seven before losing to Albert Einstein, 28-20, on Friday in its final regular-season contest. The Blake-Westminster winner will face either second-seeded Sherwood or third seed Catonsville in the regional championship game on November 16.
"After the win over Martinsburg (in week four), we really took off and knew we could do anything," said senior running back Dan Johnson, who gained a season-high 117 yards on seven carries and also caught a team-leading six passes for 67 yards. "Everyone is already focused on the next step, which is our first playoff game."
The Owls relied on their prodigious passing game to produce another lopsided victory. Senior quarterback Deryk Kern continued to excel, completing 19 passes in 29 attempts for 259 yards and three touchdowns.
Kern already holds the county single-season passing touchdowns record with 52, and seems certain to break the state mark of 56 set by Arundel's Billy Cosh in 2008. With 3,083 yards, he is also within reach of the county single-season mark of 3,335 passing yards set in 2005 by Westminster's Kevin Clancy.
"I started off nervous tonight," Kern said. "I'm usually calm, but after that first drive where I went 0-for-three, my teammates really picked me up."
Westminster jumped on top for good when Kern found junior wideout Ryan Hursey for a three-yard touchdown at the 7:06 mark of the opening quarter.
Kern and Hursey connected again from four yards out in the first minute of the second quarter, and Johnson's first touchdown run of the season at the 8:20 mark put Westminster up by three scores.
With just 1:17 remaining, Kern hit senior receiver Bradley Metcalf on a crossing pattern for a 13-yard score to give the Owls a 28-0 halftime lead.
On Westminster's opening drive of the second half, Johnson produced an outstanding 45-yard broken-field run to the Cavalier five. One play later, Kern scrambled through the South Carroll defense for the Owls' fifth touchdown.
Johnson's six-yard burst up the middle with 7:43 remaining closed the Westminster scoring. The Cavaliers finally got on the board with less than a minute left on quarterback Ben Nardo's six-yard keeper.

After six-decade career, Andy Anderson retires for good
U.S. Representative Rick Larsen joined elected officials, community members and other �fans of Andy� to salute the career of his Bellingham office director and friend, R.H. �Andy� Anderson, last week at Hotel Bellwether in Bellingham.
Anderson, who served three years as Larsen�s office director, has worked in radio, television, journalism, and public service for six decades. Previous to his work for Larsen, Anderson served as former congressman Al Swift�s district manager and was instrumental in creating the PACE (now NEXUS) program for frequent travelers between the U.S. and Canada, benefiting thousands of businesses and individuals, Larsen said.
Anderson was presented with a framed reprint of a speech made by Larsen on January 28, honoring his accomplishments and service to the community. The speech was entered into the congressional record. Anderson said he will enjoy retirement with his wife, travelling abroad, especially in Europe.
Larsen also officially welcomed Ferndale native Jasper MacSlarrow to the Bellingham office where he will serve as Whatcom County district representative. MacSlarrow worked as a legislative aide to Larsen in his D.C. office.

I began running track at the age of 6, and right away I knew that I was a natural sprinter. Growing up I also played football, and did so until high school. During my junior year, after winning the state title in the 4X100 m relay and continually being told by recruiters I was too small to play running back at a division I program, I decided to focus exclusively on track & field. I trained hard and earned a partial athletic scholarship to the University of South Florida. Although USF said there would be additional funds going forward and in all likelihood a full scholarship by senior year, it was not enough money for me to sign there and I attended a local community college instead, thinking my days of competition were behind me. For many years that was true.

Assistant Professor
Research Interests
Latin American Politics; Comparative Politics; state-society relations; military roles; natural resource conflict; security privatization; and theories of organization.
Maiah Jaskoski (Ph.D. in Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, 2008) is Assistant Professor of National Security Affairs. She specializes in state-society relations in Latin America.
Jaskoski's book, Military Politics and Democracy in the Andes (Johns Hopkins University Press 2013), focuses on the question of why at different times the Ecuadorian and Peruvian armies have neglected their assigned counterinsurgency mission. Employing theories of organization, the book's main finding is that the two armies are constrained in their ability to carry out this mission by their overwhelming concern with predictability for officers and soldiers on patrol. This conclusion runs counter to the expectations that armed forces try to maximize their budgets, and that, in the interest of maintaining professionalism, militaries actively fight external enemies and insurgents.
In other work, Jaskoski has contributed to the conceptualization and measurement of civilian control of the armed forces in post-transition settings. In the realm of security privatization, she has analyzed the direct capture of the state security apparatus by the private sector, studying how private mining and hydrocarbon companies procure military security services by paying off local military units in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Her current research on this type of security privatization shifts the focus from national armed forces as security suppliers, to multinational corporations as security consumers, on the demand side.
Jaskoski is launching a new project on another dimension of conflict in extractive industries: why some popular mobilizations surrounding extraction escalate and trigger technical oversight and even the halting of projects, whereas in other cases limited conflict focuses on compensation. To help answer this question, she is investigating institutions that structure community participation during the approval process for new mining and hydrocarbons projects, the stage at which popular opposition is most likely to prevent project development.
Jaskoski is also leading a book project on borders and borderlands in the Americas with two colleagues. She is coeditor, coauthor of the volume's introduction and conclusion, and sole author of a chapter on how Colombian insurgents have powerfully defined and enforced the Colombia-Ecuador borderline.

Comments about Makita 9031 1-1/8-in x 21-in Belt Sander:
I was introduced to this wonderful, little, wood- eating beast, while doing "log work" at a hotel remodel in Big Bear Lake, CA. At first glance, I thought this skinny sander to be a "toy" compared to my Makita 3x24" belt sander, I'd used for years... Well, I quickly learned the versatility of this tool; from "skinning" the bark off logs, to fitting the end of one log to the "round" of another... the uses for this quiet, light sander just seemed to multiply! As a sad (but true) further endorsement... these "1 inch Makitas" disappeared from the job-site at an alarming rate!

Q:Can the handle that is at the front of the belt sander be removed to access tight spaces?
1 answer
A:The handle in front can be moved up and down for a more comfortable position. It appears the handle could be removed because pictures show it being held on with a nut. However, if you removed the handle, you would have no control of the sander.

The latest news on an alleged murderer, alleged drug user, and a tight end who was really, really excited about a sale at Target.

Former tight end and current inmate Aaron Hernandez is now being investigated as the triggerman of a double murder committed before that other murder, which sent him from Gillette Stadium to the big house. Get this man a metal mask, a creepy British accent, and send in Jodie Foster—we have a serial killer on our hands!
Kellen Winslow Jr.

Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was arrested for possession of synthetic marijuana in the parking lot of a New Jersey Target back in November, but dig these newly released tidbits that make the story ever-so-slightly more interesting: the woman who called police to the scene was less concerned that Winslow was sitting in his Escalade with synthetic drugs than she was that he was sitting in his Escalade with an erect penis that he was vigorously masturbating. When police arrived, according to the report, they asked him what he was doing and he replied that he was looking for a Boston Market and was lost. (We've heard many euphemisms for whacking off, but "looking for Boston Market" is new to us.) Winslow for some reason consented to a vehicle search, during which police say they found two open containers of Vaseline on his center console in addition to plastic bags marked "Mr. Happy" and empty plastic containers of "Funky Monkey." Two containers of Vaseline? That's Hall of Fame public masturbating, Winslow, first ballot!
Davone Bess

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Davone Bess was arrested this morning at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport on charges of assaulting a law enforcement officer. The police report states that Bess seemed to be "under the influence of an unknown narcotic" and was "acting irrationally, dancing, singing, with his pants repeatedly falling down." When confronted, Bess reportedly grabbed a cup of coffee and squeezed it, spraying coffee on the officer. He then took a "fighting stance," so the officer hit him in the leg with a baton. Bess did what most of us would have done when hit by a policeman's baton: he removed his shirt. We'll have what he's having!

New York Illustrator Richard Haines Brings His Style Blog To Gallery Walls
Since 2008, Richard Haines has seduced fashion followers with his natty style sketches and impromptu portraits, scrawled on found materials ranging from a Starbucks napkin to the pages of a book on French paintings by Jean-Antoine Watteau (pictured above) and catalogued on his cult blog, What I Saw Today. A new show by the same name at the Fuller + Roberts Co. gallery in Los Angeles presents work inspired by the streets of New York and the front row. A former designer for brands including J. Crew and Calvin Klein, Haines launched WIST to raise his industry profile, but has since parlayed the online platform into a career as an in-demand fashion illustrator, contributing to The New York Times among others. "My background is in design, so when I do a sketch of a guy on the street I can pinpoint a detail because I understand it," he says. NOWNESS talked specifics with him.
Is there a New York "look" you're attracted to?
Sometimes it feels like they're letting out bus loads of attractive guys in New York and sending them into the city, like, "Here's your skinny jeans and your jacket and your hat." These guys become this beautiful line. Their attitude is an extension; there's a certain kind of swagger or sexiness or casualness to it. It's not studied. When I was a kid, I remember seeing pictures of pop stars like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, and it's a version of that look: a little dangerous and a little classic.
Do you have a muse?
There's a guy called Christopher, who is on the invitation for the show, who is very tall, very handsome, incredibly sweet. He's perfect to sketch. He and a friend are starting a business making organic donuts in the Lower East Side; it's just a perfect narrative. He came over the other night and I was like, how can you come here and not bring organic donuts? I've been thinking about these things all week.
You've sketched in numerous cities––do you notice any differences in style?
I was in Milan and Paris last year and the lighting is so different, it causes people to wear very different colors than what they wear in New York. New York to me is black and charcoal. Milan is a little warmer: navy and tan. With London I think of white and pink, green, pale blue—all those wonderful Saville row shirt and tie colors. One summer in Paris, every person wore purple and a kind of jade green—and it actually looked good. I can't imagine that working in any other city.
What kind of women's style gets you excited?
A certain kind of chic dishevelment. I don't like things that are anywhere near perfect.
Who is on your list of people you'd love to sketch?
Someone told me they were going to hook me up to sketch [Brooklyn band] Grizzly Bear, and I'm all over him to make that happen. I think their faces are unbelievable.

Injuries in the secondary led to some position and playing-time changes for the Patriots against the Jaguars last Sunday, but the defensive backfield responded with three interceptions.
Rookie cornerback Alfonzo Dennard stayed home with hamstring and knee injuries, and cornerback Aqib Talib was limited to just eight defensive snaps. Talib has been dealing with a hip injury he suffered Dec. 10, and needed to convince a large contingent of Patriots personnel — including coach Bill Belichick — during a pregame workout that he was healthy enough to play.

The status of the Muslim woman in Islaam is a very noble and lofty one, and her effect is very great in the life of every Muslim. Indeed the muslim woman is the initial teacher in building a righteous society, providing she follows the guidance from the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). Since adherence to the Qur`aan and the Sunnah distances every Muslim – male or female – from being misguided in any matter. Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez bin Baaz rahimahullaah

ALBANY, N.Y. -- A local couple, paid to work on special assignments for the U.S. government, are facing charges of welfare fraud.
Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple said Lailuma Meherdil, 44, and her husband Amirjan Hayattulah, 47, are both facing charges of Welfare Fraud, Grand Larceny and Offering a False Instrument for Filing.
The Albany County Sheriff's Office says the husband and wife are both currently at the county jail, after the two allegedly applied for and received welfare benefits and housing at Manor Sites, run by the Cohoes Housing Authority.
Apple said the couple failed to claim the over $150,000 income they were making working as government contractors. The welfare benefits they allegedly received exceeded $3,000, according to court documents.
The vehicle was stopped by authorities and they say they found Amirjian Hayatullah in the rear passenger seat.
In court, prosecutors alleged that Meherdil was employed as a translator for contractor SOS International LLC, and that her husband worked for another U.S. contractor as an actor.
His attorney says Hayattulah played "indigenous characters" during military training exercises.
Apple credits good investigative work by the Department of Social Services for first detecting discrepancies in this case.
Meherdil was arrested on Thursday, January 23, by Albany County Sheriff's Investigators. However, her husband was unable to be apprehended after surveillance on their residence.
On Friday, January 31, Meherdil, who was incarcerated, wrote a letter to Sheriff's Investigators. She stated in the letter that she had received a visit from her husband. He allegedly told Meherdil that if she revealed his hiding location, he would kill her.
Sheriff's Investigators resumed surveillance at the home and found the couple's son, Neshta Hayatullah, leaving the home. Teams followed the son, according to Albany County Sheriff's, and witnessed a man exiting a wooded area and entering the son's vehicle.
Hayatollah pleaded not guilty to the charges. His son, Neshat Hayatullah, is also facing an obstruction charge for allegedly helping his father evade police.

Meet The Money Givers kicked off this week, with dozens of new scholarship opportunities for prospective college students. On this Saturday, we introduce you to a local Elks member, willing to offer some money to a student who is community-minded.
For over 60 years, Crisfield Elks Lodge 1044 has helped send deserving students to college.
"We have fun together but we do contribute to various charities in the district, as well as looking after our students specifically in Somerset county," said long-time member, John MacKenzie.
A little bit really does go a long way. Members and visitors try their luck on those penny machines, and in turn, the Elks use 50 percent of the profit to award scholarships to Somerset County Seniors.
"That money comes from slot machines so it has to go to charity. We want it directed to someone in need and students are obviously a good resource for that," said MacKenzie.
After Superstorm Sandy, the Elks stepped up to help their community with clothing and food donations, which is why they're looking to help a student who, likewise pays it forward. So you must have some community service hours under your belt.
Aside from the usual essay, financial need is a must. But time is running out, so apply now. The deadline for this scholarship is January 30th.

(Continued from previous page)
In Taiwan, art films never existed. Taiwan was a commercial film world. Up till the '80s, Taiwan produced 200-300 entertainment films per year. There were two main types: the romantic films, played mainly by two male and two female popular actors; and the martial arts films, very similar to Hong Kong. But the commercial cinema was eventually replaced, when it reached a point when nothing new was produced. After making such films for 20 years, the market was taken over by Hong Kong productions. All of a sudden, Taiwan productions dropped from 300 films to fewer than 10 a year. Overnight, Taiwan films lost their market. Film investors moved their investments to Hong Kong or later to China when it opened up. From then onwards, till now, there haven't been any film investors. The government supports part of the financing and filmmakers have to come up with the rest.
And this coincided with the lifting of the martial law in Taiwan. The society changed drastically. Some filmmakers emerged, e.g. Hou Hsiou-Hsien. Without the stars, who all left for Hong Kong, for example Lin Qin-Hsia [Bridget Lin], these filmmakers started making films about Taiwan history—subjects that were never made—as well as taking subjects from everyday life and literature. They started to use the local dialect, from Min Nan. Since then, they created what we now call Taiwan cinema.
A few years since that time, a film critic published a book called Taiwan Cinema is Dead. The idea was that the market was dead. From then on, there was competition between commercial and art films. It's still a big struggle in Taiwan.
I feel that Taiwan cinema has never been richer than in the past 20 years. The pity is that the distance between Taiwan cinema and the audience has never been reduced in the past 20 years.
Taiwan audience, like other Asian audiences, have been watching commercial films for a long time. It's puzzling for them when cinema became creative. The system required the films to be shown in the same space as Hollywood films. Most of them couldn't meet the challenge. The audience didn't get the opportunity to be cultivated.
I started making films in the early '90s. When I made my fourth film, it was year 2000. After making films for eight years, my box office revenue got worse with each film. In 2000, I made my fifth film. I couldn't find a theater which would show my film. One theater was willing to rent me one screening room with 98 seats for two weeks. That film was What Time Is It There? The theater started selling advanced tickets online. Five days before opening, I looked up the Internet. They sold only five tickets. I saw clearly that here's a group of audience unwilling to change in face of a director also unwilling to change. So I decided to invite my five actors, my long-term cast members: Lee Kang-Sheng, Yang Kuei-Mei, Lu Yi-Ching, Chen Shiang-Chyi, to sell tickets on the street. We went to the entrance of a big book fair, with over 20,000-30,000 visitors. Under the chase of police, we sold 300 tickets in one morning. That was the result of our first day.
Since that film, whenever I had a new film, I would sell tickets on the street. I would also give lectures at universities. My condition for giving lectures at universities and companies was that I could sell tickets. So with each new film, we could sell about 10,000 tickets a month or two in advance. That's the way we did it.
Face (2009) just closed in theaters in Taiwan after a one-month run. The box office figure was so-so. Most people saw the film buying these advanced tickets. After closing, I came to the US to give these talks. And then I'll attend the Tokyo Film Festival. Afterwards I will return to Taipei and show the films in universities, companies, communities for two months. My condition is that I have to give lectures.
I always feel that there aren't enough audience for this kind of film. Some people say it's enough to have 30,000 audience for this kind of film but I don't feel that's enough. I want more people to see the films. I am not going after box office figures. I want to see how many can appreciate this kind of creative work.
When I was invited to make a film [Face] by the Louvre, the invitation posed a possibility. The film will be shown at the Louvre for one whole year. It's very meaningful. The audience can watch this film freely during the one year. It made me think about an earlier question: Why couldn't our films cultivate an audience? Perhaps the films have been positioned in a wrong exhibition system. Positioning them in a Hollywood system, the audience would use box office figures to make comparisons. These figures would marginalize our films, until a point of eventual extinction.
In the past, I was afraid my films were called art films. Art films referred to films nobody wanted to watch. But now I want people to see me as an artist. You don't see my work in the regular distribution system. Only through this could I obtain more freedom in my future creative works.

OCONOMOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - Thousands of school students in southeast Wisconsin will keep getting their milk, thanks to some last-minute scrambling after a large dairy plant suddenly closed in Waukesha.
Lynn Hiemke of Mapleton Dairy Haulers in Oconomowoc said he worked all weekend, and he secured Kemp's dairy as a replacement for the 360 schools that his company serves in 40 districts. He said there would be no disruption for the youngsters who have milk with their school meals.
The Golden Guernsey dairy processing plant in Waukesha told its employees on Friday not to report to work on Saturday. The company president later confirmed that the plant had closed.
Open Gate Capital of Los Angeles bought the plant early last year from Dean Foods, which was ordered to sell it due to antitrust concerns.
Before the sale, the government said Dean had supplied over half of the school milk in Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Estimates of retail sales for July showed continued growth in the quantity bought (or sales volumes) in the retail industry.
Compared with a year ago (July 2013 compared with July 2012) the quantity bought in the retail industry increased by 3.0%. The main sources of upward pressure came from the predominantly food and non-store retailing sectors.
Within the food sector, the quantity bought in July 2013 increased by 2.1% compared with July 2012. This was the highest increase since April 2011.
Feedback from supermarkets suggested that the sunny weather boosted sales across a range of products including food, alcohol, clothing and outdoor items.
Looking at the monthly picture (July 2013 compared with June 2013), the quantity bought increased by 1.1%. Again, there was strong growth in supermarket sales with a rise of 2.5%.
In July 2013, the prices of goods sold in the retail industry rose by 1.8% compared with July 2012. This was mainly due to increases in the prices of goods sold in the food sector. This is consistent with the latest Consumer Prices Index (CPI) release for July 2013.
In July 2013, the estimated weekly spend across all retailing averaged £7.0 billion, up from £6.8 billion in June 2013 and £6.7 billion in July 2012.

Stephen L. Mayo, chair of the Division of Biology and Bren Professor of Biology and Chemistry at Caltech, has been named the William K. Bowes Jr. Foundation Division Chair. The William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation, based in San Francisco, endowed the new division leadership chair with a $5 million gift, supplemented by an additional $2.5 million provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Matching Program.
Caltech researchers have been able, for the first time, to watch viruses infecting individual bacteria by transferring their DNA, and to measure the rate at which that transfer occurs. Shedding light on the early stages of infection by this type of virus—a bacteriophage—the scientists have determined that it is the cells targeted for infection, rather than the amount of genetic material within the viruses themselves, that dictate how quickly the bacteriophage's DNA is transferred.
There are trillions of bacteria living in our bodies, making up complex communities of microbes regulating processes like digestion and immunity. For Caltech biologist Sarkis Mazmanian, they also make up the focus of his research: understanding how the "good" bacteria promote human health. Featured in the cover story for the June issue of Scientific American, he makes a case for devoting more attention to the helpful bugs after years of scientific dedication to pathogens.
All animals seem to have ways of exchanging information—monkeys vocalize complex messages, ants create scent trails to food, and fireflies light up their bellies to attract mates. Yet, despite the fact that nematodes, or roundworms, are among the most abundant animals on the planet, little is known about the way they network. Now, research led by California Institute of Technology (Caltech) biologists has shown that a wide range of nematodes communicate using a recently discovered class of chemical cues.
What happens to a stem cell at the molecular level that causes it to become one type of cell rather than another? In studies that mark a major step forward in our understanding of stem cells' fates, a team of Caltech researchers has traced the stepwise developmental process that ensures certain stem cells will become T cells—cells of the immune system that help destroy invading pathogens.
Alexander Varshavsky, Caltech's Howard and Gwen Laurie Smits Professor of Cell Biology, has been awarded the Otto Warburg Medal of the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM). The medal is considered to be the highest German award for biochemists and molecular biologists.
In both animals and humans, vocal signals used for communication contain a wide array of different sounds that are determined by the vibrational frequencies of vocal cords. Knowing how the brain sorts out these different frequencies—which are called frequency-modulated (FM) sweeps—is believed to be essential to understanding many hearing-related behaviors, like speech. Now, a pair of biologists at Caltech has identified how and where the brain processes this type of sound signal.
Nearly all motile bacteria can sense and respond to their surroundings through a process called chemotaxis, which begins with proteins known as chemoreceptors. Now researchers at Caltech have built the first model that depicts precisely how chemoreceptors and the proteins around them are structured at the sensing tip of bacteria. Because chemotaxis plays a critical role in the first steps of bacterial infection, a better understanding of the process could pave the way for the development of new, more effective antibiotics.
Bacteria have evolved different systems for secreting proteins. One, called a type VI secretion system, is found in about a quarter of all bacteria with two membranes. Despite being common, researchers have not understood how it works. Now a team, co-led by researchers at Caltech, has figured out the structure of the type VI secretion system apparatus and proposed how it might work—by shooting spring-loaded poison molecular daggers.
Our bodies are full of tiny superheroes—antibodies that fight foreign invaders, cells that regenerate, and structures that ensure our systems run smoothly. One such structure is myelin, a material that forms a protective cape around the axons of our nerve cells so that they can send signals quickly and efficiently. But myelin becomes damaged in demyelinating diseases like multiple sclerosis, leaving neurons without their sheaths. Researchers from Caltech now believe they have found a way to help the brain replace damaged myelin.
