Day Four
Google vs Oracle - Google engineer Lindholm says Java licensing email misinterpreted
The trial between Google and Oracle over the use of Java patents to build the Android platform has entered its fourth day, with Google engineer Tim Lindholm taking to the stand. Clearly the focus was on that email which had been fought over before the two even came to court.
Lindholm, who has been working for Google since 2005 is arguably at the centre of this case over an email sent to Android chief Andy Rubin over using Java in Android back in 2010. Lindholm wrote in that email:
What we've actually been asked to do (by Larry [Page] and Sergey [Brin]) is to investigate what technical alternatives exist to Java for Android and Chrome. We've been over a bunch of these, and think they all suck. We conclude that we need to negotiate a license for Java under the terms we need.
After establishing that Lindholm was indeed working on Android after moving over from Sun, Oracle's attorney David Boies asked what Lindholm meant in that email. Lindholm confirmed he wrote the email but that he was not referring to a license from Sun, telling the court "It was not specifically a licence from anybody."
The focus shifted towards API copyrighting, which Oracle fervently believe that Java is indeed covered by. Lindholm had a different view saying:
As a software engineer, not a lawyer, it's always been my understanding the organisation of software APIs are free for use by other people.
Later on whilst being cross-examined by Google's counsel Christa Anderson, Lindholm added that he believed that the software Oracle believes is rightfully theirs, is in fact free to use by all. He was also asked about his role at Google, which Lindholm said was working on infrastructure and not substantially on Android itself. Which begs the question, why would he have sent the original email? Lindholm said that because of his background with Java and Sun, he was involved in Java licensing and partnership negotiations between Google and Sun, which of course broke down and never materialised to anything concrete.
Another Google engineer, Josh Bloch admitted earlier in the day that he had copied some Java code whilst working with Android, adding that API design is a noble and rewarding craft - which could prove pivotal when Oracle are trying claim APIs should be copyrighted.
The rest of the day was devoted to a refresher class in Java, when Oracle's Java chief architect Mark Reinhold gave a tutorial on Java as part of his testimony, mainly to aid the jury. The line of questioning was focused on the 37 Java APIs that formed the bones of the lawsuit, with Reinhold defining key parts of the Java language, APIs, class libraries and so on.
His most salient message was that Java APIs and libraries don't form the entirety of the Java language, like the Oxford English dictionary would with English. A good analogy to make it clear for the jury. Crucially, Reinhold added that the majority of these APIs weren't required for key Java language development, but some are intrinsically linked. He also made it clear that each page of the Java language specification contains a copyright notice.
Reinhold believes that around 20% of the Java API packages were written by JCP members, so neither Sun or Oracle. Ten of the 37 APIs were indeed created in this manner, free of Oracle/Sun's rule (ie. unpaid).
Thursday's courtroom action could well prove pivotal in the long run for the eight-week trial, as things have got much more heated following Lindholm's appearance. The trial continues.

(l. to r.): Ray Hedrick '97, Ellen Stack, Debbie Napier, Susan Reilly-Cassidy, Saleema Ansari, Su-Chen Lo, President Lindgren(not pictured: Jeff Hague)
Before presenting the awards, Lindgren paid tribute to the staff members who recently put in extra-long hours because of inclement weather.
"Members of our Physical Plant were out early even when we were closed or opened late," he said. "In addition, staff from Campus Safety, Residence Life, the Library, the Athletic Department and the Provost's Office were on the scene making sure that the needs of our students were being addressed and that all were safe. There are too many people to name individually, but I have listed them on the screen behind me and I ask all of you to join me in recognizing the yeoman work of this incredibly dedicated group with a huge round of applause."
The Excellence in Service Award is given to an employee who provides excellent service to students, staff, faculty, parents, alumni, or visitors.
Debbie Napier (admissions)"Debbie's hard work and contribution to Randolph-Macon College is very much 'behind the scenes,'" said Lindgren as he presented her with the award. "Debbie is responsible for the original generation of all of our student records and insures that all of the data elements flow through our various systems. Debbie has been a constant source of competency and efficiency for over 25 years, while the advances in technology and volumes of data have changed dramatically. She has adapted to new systems, new technology and new challenges with professionalism and grace."
David Lesesne, vice president for enrollment and dean of admissions and financial aid, said this of Napier in his nomination letter: "Debbie has been a leader in learning and managing our new and improved admissions database and in helping the office run more efficiently. Debbie has tremendous skills, a wonderful attitude and deep commitment to the college. She is a most deserving recipient of the Yellow Jacket Award for Excellence in Service."
Ray Hedrick '97 (athletics)"We know up front that Ray's baseball teams are consistently at or near the top of the ODAC, and they are getting to be 'regulars' in the NCAA Division III baseball tournament," said Lindgren. "Despite that public recognition, much of Ray's exceptional service goes unrecognized. Ray works tirelessly to develop his team members as athletes. It is not unusual for him to attend meetings including his students and their professors in order to emphasize how seriously he takes academic work. Beyond his work with individual students, Ray models the good citizenship he expects of the young men he mentors. He serves as a member of the college's judicial council, and he is frequently the 'game manager' for high-profile athletic contests. He is an advocate for the prevention of sexual assault and relationship violence and he has worked closely with other faculty and staff members to promote a climate of respect for all students on our campus."
Susan Reilly-Cassidy (Brock Center)Cassidy is in her 11th season as the coach of the Dance and Cheer teams. The teams are an active part of every home football and basketball game and also at ODAC Conference Tournaments.
"Susan has also worked with her collegians to fund raise and practice so that they can compete at the regional and national levels of their sport," said Lindgren. "Her teams have won several regional championships and consequently have been invited to compete on the national level in their class. Under her skilled coaching, they have consistently placed in the top five in every national competition and are currently ranked #5 in the U.S. Susan has dramatically improved the skill level of our spirit teams and increased their public visibility at both community events and competitions. She is a part-time employee with full-time loyalty for the Jackets."
The Excellence Behind the Scenes Award is given to a staff member who provides excellent service behind the scenes, showing initiative and drive, and making Randolph-Macon a better place for work and study. Three staff members were presented this award.
Saleema Ansari (housekeeping)Ansari has worked in Old Chapel, Conrad and Mary Branch, and is currently responsible for the Welcome Center and the second floor of the Copley Science Center.
"Saleema often provides housekeeping support at R-MC sporting events and she has formed friendships with several elderly spectators who attend the games," said Lindgren. "She can be seen helping them from the bleachers, and she has also mentored several of our students through the years and served as actual sponsor for at least one graduating senior during Commencement ceremonies. Recently, while supporting an admissions event, on her own initiative she served coffee to several prospective students and parents. This is just one example of how far she goes above and beyond to support the college. Saleema is a dedicated, hardworking and compassionate employee who is respected by all who know her."
Jeff Hague (ITS)"Jeff has been given this award because of his excellent service and contributions to improve ITS, the R-MC network, and servers used on campus," said Lindgren. "As a network manager, most of Jeff's work is done behind the scenes, and he is rarely the public face of IT, unless there is a problem. Jeff has made several important contributions during this year that have expanded wireless services, improved network security, increased network bandwidth, and made it easier for guests on campus to utilize the R-MC wireless network. He has also been instrumental in adopting new change communication procedures and assisting with the development of strategic plans for improving ITS services. Jeff has been called at all hours of the day and night to correct network or server problems having major impacts on college services, and he has responded willingly and with a positive attitude."
Su-Chen Lo (provost's office)"To quote a nominator, 'Su-Chen has a big job,'" said Lindgren. "She is the support person for all of the science departments. That means making sure that laboratory sessions in the departments of physics, chemistry and biology take place safely, and with all of the correct equipment and supplies. She does all of this with a high level of competence and a smile. The departments simply could not function without her. Behind the scenes, she negotiates prices, finds similar products to the ones specified at large discounts, and makes sure that everything arrives on time, saving the college hundreds if not thousands of dollars each and every year. Su-Chen's job is to keep things in working order, and she extends that effort beyond the equipment and supplies to our students and the faculty members she supports. The quiet, effective manner in which Su-Chen accomplishes each and every one of her tasks allows those department leaders to assume that all is well in the lab, that details have been attended to, and that effective laboratory work will happen in every session."
The Excellence as a Team Member Award is given to an employee who exhibits outstanding teamwork and cooperation, both in his/her own department and with others.
Ellen Stack (advancement)"In so many ways Ellen works behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly and Randolph-Macon at its best," said Lindgren. "As her nominator states, 'Ellen Stack gets things done! She works collaboratively with the Advancement team, ITS and other offices on campus while continually looking for solutions to problems and unblocking logjams to productivity.' It is not within Ellen's nature to pass the buck. She will go the extra mile to get a project done, often being the first to roll up her sleeves, regardless of the task. She is extremely thoughtful of her staff's time and, as a result, is willing to put in many extra hours so that others don't have to. Vice President Diane Lowder sums it up as simply as this: 'Ellen is a can-do person with a work ethic to match. She makes R-MC a better place.'"

text: There's an easy way to own a high-profile project car-just spend boat-loads of cash. Start with an expensive platform, then install the most expensive products available for each portion of the build. Better yet, hire someone else to do the work for you. Your car might even end up on some reality TV show. With the easy way, you're pretty much guaranteed to end up with a car that everyone will like. But if you're like Lindy Melendez, you'll do things the hard way and end up with a unique whip that everyone will respect. Of course, building a car like this SC300 without breaking the bank takes some experience. "My first project car was an S13, and in '97 I did the swap so it was one of the first ones in Tampa with an SR20. It seemed like I spent twice as much as I did on the SC just because everything was rare on that car. Whereas with this car, because everything fits on the 2JZ and the Supra, I was able to build it a lot cheaper," Melendez says. Fortunately, he got rid of the 240SX at the right time. He continues, "I sold it right when '2 Fast 2 Furious' came out, which unbelievably helped me sell that car; it went on eBay in like an hour for 15 grand!" When the time came to find a replacement, his logic for choosing the SC seemed questionable, but looking at the completed car it's hard to argue with him. "I always liked the shape of that car. If you look at an S13 coupe, the SC almost looks like what the next one should have looked like instead of the S14. Unfortunately, at the time the SC was so expensive, but later it depreciated a lot. I bought my original one for $3,500 at an auction. I totaled that about two years ago when some lady made a U-turn right in front of me, but then I bought this shell for $900." With a fresh chassis, a parts car and a healthy amount of experience, Melendez got started on the car that you see here. The first task was to get it looking right. His previous SC had a Bomex bodykit, but he thought it was a little too loud. So this time around he went with a more subtle kit from JIC and a lightweight carbon-fiber hood from Seibon. For a little bit of JDM subtlety, a rear window with its OEM wiper from a Toyota Soarer replaced the rear glass and Ganador mirrors went on as well. The only real exterior fabrication was the gutting of the spare tire well to make room for a custom center-exit exhaust. Of course, the crucial elements to making a first impression are the paint and wheels. The paint code was lifted from a Lamborghini Diablo and Melendez splurged on a staggered set of Volk GT-C wheels. Peeking out from the spokes are massive 8-piston HP brakes in the front and a Supra TT setup in the rear. The lowered stance is handled by Maxspeed coilovers, with Daizen camber adjusters and polyurethane bushings to keep everything in line. With no tint on the glass, the immaculate look of the exterior flows right inside. The front seats were replaced with slightly more supportive versions from a Supra. Those were then reupholstered with new leather. While they look very nice, we normally discourage people from using four-point harnesses, especially with slippery leather seats. In a hard frontal impact the occupants tend to submarine under the lap belts and experience something similar to what my nearly empty tube of toothpaste did this morning. That's our only gripe, though, and it shouldn't discourage people from learning from the very clever modifications throughout the rest of the car. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Andy Hope Enjoyed this Post?

After S&P 500 hits new high, what's next?
May has been crummy for stocks for the past 3 years, and there are a few reasons to be concerned about May 2013 as well.
The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) closed within 50 points of a new closing high.
But May starts on Wednesday. Stocks have fallen in May for the past three years, and the four of the last five years. Which raises the question: Yikes, what happens now?
If investors are lucky, everyone will be so scared by the potential for a stock market decline that stocks will go up.
But there are technical issues in the stock market that have to be considered. Here are a few of the most visible issues:
The major averages have struggled to hit their latest highs. It was not clear until literally until the last minutes of the session that the S&P 500 would hit a new high. The close of 1,593.61 was about a quarter point higher than its previous closing high of 1,593.37. New highs are welcome; struggles to hit new highs create worries.
Price/earnings ratios may be too high. As of Friday, according to Barron's, the price-to-earnings ratios for the major averages as of Friday were: 16.17 for the Dow; 18.51 for the S&P 500; and 17.55 for the Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX). A year ago, the P/E ratios were 14.81 for the Dow; 16.09 for the S&P 500 and 11.59 for the Nasdaq-100.
200-day moving averages suggest the major averages are getting pricey. As of Monday, the Dow was trading at 9.3% above its 200-day simple moving average. The S&P 500 was 9.2% above its 200-day average; the Nasdaq Composite was 7% above its moving average. High enough to suggest a tipping point has been reached? Maybe not. An index trading 10% or more above its 200-day moving average is a signal to get a little worried. The Dow and S&P 500 traded 10% above their 200-day averages on April 11.
In addition, the market faces a number of challenges this week, including a Federal Reserve meeting that starts Tuesday and ends Wednesday. That may prove benign because no one expects the Fed to modify its low-interest rate policies.
Wednesday also brings some important reports that could affect markets. These include:
- The Institute for Supply Management's April report on manufacturing.
- Auto makers' April sales reports.
- The ADP Employment Index. It's expected to show 155,000 private-sector jobs added to the economy.
In addition to the S&P 500's close, the Dow finished up 106 points on Monday to 14,189, 46 points below its peak close of 14,865, reached on April 11. The Nasdaq was up 28 points to 3,307, its highest close since Nov. 7, 2000. The gains for the market overall were fueled by a sizable rally in technology stocks.
Apple (AAPL), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) were each at least 2.2% higher. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Microsoft and IBM (IBM) were the top Dow stocks. (Microsoft owns and publishes MoneyNOW, an MSN Money site.)
Crude oil (-CL) in New York was up $1.50 to $94.50 a barrel. But the national retail price of gasoline was $3.50 a barrel, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. That's down 7.6% from a 2013 peak of $3.786 a gallon on Feb. 27.
Gold (-GC) jumped $13.80 to $1,467.40. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 1.668% from Friday's 1.663%.
Going into April's last day of trading on Tuesday, the Dow is up 1.65% for the month, the S&P 500 is up 1.56% and the Nasdaq is sporting a 1.2% gain. The Dow hasn't had a down month since November; the S&P 500 and Nasdaq haven't had down months since October.
For the year, the Dow is up 13.1%, with the S&P 500 up 11.7% and the Nasdaq up 9.5%.

More on Top Stocks
May can be shaky....But everytime you try to time the Markets, it can be be a "tweedle-dee, tweedle-dum" choice...
So if a person/investor CAN have some extra cash set aside; May or early "Summer Doldrums"
can offer some great buying opportunities....IMO.
Buffet and Munger don't Scuttle 80% of Berkshire, to see if they can buy it back cheaper in a few weeks...
Concerning May of 2010 "only", we had some "huge run-ups" over the previous 16 months or since March of 2009..
So May has been tough on stocks.
What is a lot tougher is you parasite anaylist publishing your one sided, personal opinions for public consumption.
Did you ever think about getting an honest job on a dairy farm, where you can shovel that Sxxx all you want to? Just don't stand direct behind the cow or you might get a mouth full.
It is hard to believe huge company's hire and pay you bums a salery to spread such crap. I try to not buy anything your parent company sells.
What right do you have to knock and kick a stock that consumers have a lifetime investment in??? Some young lawyer that wants to make billions needs to file a class action suit against anaylist AND the company;s that hire them.
However, this is my opinion;
Stocks might go down a little in May, however they might go up, on the other hand they might go up and then go down a little bit, but, they could rise a lot and then go down, or, they might level off and then go up and down and up again and then down and they level back off. However stocks just might go way up and crash, and then go way back up again.
I knew you would want my opinion, your'e welcome!
And the ponzi game goes on!
Just wait till the music stops!
You think the House crises was a problem?
Just wait till everyone including Uncle Sam starts to cash out.
The only reason the stock market has gotten to where it is, is because Uncle Sam is pumping it with 4.7 Billion every business day.
Until the unemployment rate reaches 6.5%, 'Uncle Ben' will continue with keeping interest low & pumping in 85 Billion a month. That's the 'trigger' as far as the Fed is concerned. And May is shaping up well for those who hold dividend stocks. Apple's stock buy back & issue of dividends alone will be a great ROI, not to mention others as well.
Just because the last three years in May were bad, does not mean this May will be as well. Yes we'll have our usual summer volatility, but overall I think the summer will be good for stocks.
Not sure about a CRASH in 2011, without checking my books and charts.
Maybe it didn't effect us or not as badly.??
And according to Blaine's chart, May 2011 was barely equivalent to a one day correction..imo.
Maybe worst over a couple month's period ???
You may want to do your research now in case there is a sizeable correction over the next 60 days..?
I personally don't think it, will last long..
And don't jump on bandwagon of severely beaten up stock, those usually aren't good to begin with.
Maybe a 4-6% downturn..??
But right now America seems to be the "safest investment" going..
So keep that in mind, when making choices for your future..
Good Luck...Quinniv..
Getting back to the current state of the Global Markets. Folks can stick their head in the sand and deny what is actually going on in the World. That just means they will be the one's hurt the most when the Real ish hits the FAN. Failing to prepare is preparing to Fail.
It's all a crapshoot. And I always heard April was bad on stocks, Hmmm.... Own some good quality 4% or up dividend paying stocks, and hang onto those. Play the market game with stocks you are willing to sell on a drop, after making some nice gains. After a nice drop, and I mean 10-20%, buy back in.
Wash, rinse, repeat, and us small guy investors can win like the big boys. It's all in the game plan!

6/21/14 Update: Menu updated.
Location: Casey's Corner is located at the end of Main Street USA on the left side as you walk toward Cinderella Castle or on the right as you head toward the entrance/exit.
Food Type: Hot Dogs, Nachos, Snacks.
Dining Plan: One quick service credit and a couple items count as snacks.
Unique Items: Chicago and Barbecue Slaw Hot Dogs are unique takes on the typical Disney Dog and the Polish Sausage isn't available elsewhere.
- Casey's Corner is famous for their hot cheese sauce, which is an ooey gooey "plastic cheese" that tastes amazing on French Fries and Corn Dog Nuggets in particular.
- You can be reasonably sure that your Hot Dog is going to taste the same regardless of when you purchase it, assuming Disney hasn't messed with the formula.
- The Ball Park Nachos are a large, easy to share snack.
- Look out for Jim playing the piano outside the restaurant from around noon to 7:15pm in 20 minute sets most weekdays.
- Seating is sparse and almost entirely outside.
- Ordering area is cramped and loud. Service is often slow.
- The menu is fairly limited with just Hot Dogs as entrees. They are no longer kosher all-beef and the buns tend to break under the weight of the Dogs and condiments.
Value: Average. Pricing is pretty standard for Disney. The Hot Dogs aren't great quality, but the toppings help quite a bit.
Reputation: Some people swear by Casey's Corner. I love the Corn Dog Nuggets, but the new Disney Hot Dogs don't have much flavor and the buns are too thick.
Food Choices:
Chili Cheese Dog – $9.79
In my humble opinion, a chili-cheese dog needs to be three things:
1. When presented, it should look daunting. You should think to yourself, "Am I going to be able to pick this thing up?" It should make you want to pick it up. It should convince you to pick it up. And when you try to pick it up, you should fail. It should require a fork and knife.
2. It should be a little spicy. Not necessarily "five stars" hot, but there shouldn't be any question that you ordered the chili-cheese dog and not the little-girl-dog.
3. It should hurt to finish it. But it's so good you finish it every time.
A Casey's Corner dog is none of these things. The chili is bland, the hot dog is no longer kosher all-beef, and the whole package is ultimately forgettable. Casey's does have a few things going for it, including a fun theme, Cracker Jacks, cotton candy, and a limited number of tables that overlook Cinderella Castle. It wouldn't be my choice though.
Barbecue Slaw Dog – $9.39
(With a small bite missing)
I was apprehensive about the whole hot barbecue pork/cold coleslaw combo, but I think it worked. I say "think" because it's virtually impossible to take a full bite and get your mouth around the entire hot dog. You might have a jaw that unhinges or something, which would be convenient in instances like this one, but the rest of us are out of luck. I sort of gnawed at the top and then took a bite out of the bottom. It's definitely not a good "first date" choice, though that's never a concern for me personally.
Overall, this was very good. The whole pork/dog/coleslaw combo wasn't as off-putting as I was expecting and the bun didn't disintegrate on me, which is usually what happens. It was difficult to eat, but certainly not a bad choice. I preferred it to the Chili Cheese Dog at Casey's and the Taco Dog at The Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland.
Polish Sausage – $8.99:
This is it.
The sausage is topped with onions that I think are higher quality than what you'd spoon out of the condiment bar, but don't quote me on that. I don't usually add onions.
The polish sausage is spicier than the regular hot dog, as one might expect. The flavor profile is similar to the more prolific $1.50 Costco Polish Sausage. Most of the onions slipped right off the top of the dog as I held it up, which was fine with me. The mustard added a bit of texture and additional spice. The fresh bun was an improvement from that whole wheat nonsense they served for a while. Soft and airy, it didn't "feel" like I had a mouthful of bread when I took a bite.
Ball Park Nachos – $7.99.
It's a pretty simple concoction. Chips. Chili. Cheese.
But the real attraction at Casey's is the hot cheese sauce. As is usually the case with nachos (that I don't make myself), there aren't going to be enough toppings to go around. The hot cheese sauce is going to do a nice job filling the gap. It's basically like a better version of the "queso" type cheese that you might actually find on nachos at a baseball game or similar sporting event. Overall, these were really good, but it's mostly due to the cheese sauce. The biggest disappointment was the lack of punch in the chili, but that's par for the course. It's a ton of chips that would probably make a better heavy snack for two or more people to share. You might also want to split these and one of the more substantial hot dogs. I like nachos as much as any normal person, but a whole plate is going to be a lot of nachos. Overall, they're recommended if you like the hot cheese sauce. You're going to be eating a lot of naked chips otherwise.
Corn Dog Nuggets – $4.99
The Corn Dog Nuggets are the best hot dog item on the menu at Casey's (in my opinion). You get ten of these suckers for $4.99 and you can guzzle hot cheese sauce until you're sick. I recommend dipping the Nuggets in hot cheese sauce first, taking a small bite, and then filling in the excess areas within the Nugget with hot cheese sauce. Remember how Disney is always telling you to fill in all available space? Apply the same principles here. Add a Dole Whip Float for the ultimate snack.
Casey's Corner offers a limited number of tables directly outside and just about three tables indoors in front of the store next door. It can be difficult to swing a table during peak meal times or when it's busy. Consider taking your food to Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant across the way in Tomorrowland if it doesn't look like anything is going to open up.
Casey's offers a condiment bar that includes sauerkraut, salsa, jalapenos, diced, onions, and hot cheese sauce along with your usual ketchup and mustard.

Brain building games for kids are easy to find and extremely beneficial now that it has been worked out what works for them. Parents no longer have to fuss continuously that their children are wasting their time playing video games and rotting their brains. With the exception of obsessive playing, parents can be certain that their kids are benefiting their minds.
This is especially useful during summer when they do not have the brain stimulating benefit of school. One of the things parents need to keep in mind when purchasing these types of games for their kids is that they have to be based in something they are interested in enough to keep playing.
Most brain building games for kids and adults are only truly effective when they are continuously used. The point is to challenge the brain, in more than one area often enough to cause the brain to keep learning. The truth is that there is still the pencil and paper versions of brain building games, but most kids would much rather take the option of a video game.

When considering this, parents should be certain to buy games without auto hints if possible and to encourage their kids to challenge themselves. The reason for this is simple, if the brain is not challenged; it is not pushing its potential or working and learning at optimal levels.
Clearly parents are concerned about their kid's cognitive development. This is shown through the care parents take in choosing schools, classes and after-school programs for their kids. Of course they would be choosy with the games they buy. Considering that parents can slyly have their kids learning and developing positive mental progress when they want to play a game, the new platform for intellect stimulating games are fantastic.
Parents often set locks and limits on laptops and computers to keep their kids focused on their schoolwork. This makes sense but depending on the age of the kids, certain sites should be kept open so both the parents can access them and so can the kids. Some of these sites are related to kid's channels and include games to assist in their mental development.

Mazen Hanna, MD Staff Cardiologist, Tomsich Family Department of Cardiovascular Medicine
Frederic Reu, MD Associate Staff, Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders
Amyloidosis is a rare disease that is due to amyloid protein build up in the organs. The cause is unknown and is thought to result from many factors. Treatments are available to help manage symptoms and even control the production of amyloid protein. Since it is a disease that affects multiple organs/systems in the body, it requires much expertise and multidisciplinary approach. Dr. Mazen Hanna, Cardiologist and Dr. Frederic Reu, Oncologist answer questions about amyloidosis.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Welcome to our Online Health Chat with Drs. Mazen Hanna and Frederic Reu. We are thrilled to have them here today for this chat. Thank you for joining us Drs Hanna and Reu. Let's begin with the questions.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: I am happy to be here today
Dr__Frederic_Reu: I am also happy to be here to answer questions.
muriel: Concerning ILE 122 Since this type of cardiac amyloidosis affects approximately 4 - 5 per cent of African American males at the age range of 50-65, how can we get the word out to the world? This would get amyloidosis out of the world of rare diseases and having an African American President and more African American's in government could possibly help us to spread awareness and raise research money towards a cure for all of the amyloidoses.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: We could try things such as Amyloid Awareness month - and also there are amyloid support groups that can also hold more public education about this. You make a good point - we need to raise awareness.
ga_peach: Approximately how many cases of AL Amyloidosis do you treat annually at the Cleveland Clinic?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: We see 40 - 50 new cases and treat 100 - 120 different individual cases yearly at Cleveland Clinic.
sarah123: My dad lives far away in Nebraska and was diagnosed with amyloidosis, They want to put him on chemo but I am nervous for him and I don't know his doctors. If he came to the Cleveland Clinic, how long would he need to stay for treatment? Is that realistic to be treated at Cleveland Clinic for amyloidosis or should I just go with the doc out there even though I do not have faith in him?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: The most important question to answer is does he have light chain amyloidosis. If not - he should not have chemo. We can arrange a consultation and periodic follow ups there while your dad gets his treatment locally.
carik: My dad has AMYLOIDOSIS he hasn't had any chemo. he's 70 years old can you tell me what stages there are for this disease?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: It is not defined in stages but rather in number of organs involved and severity of organ involvement.
eclipsefarm_2: With treatment will blood vessel fragility resolve?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: It can - but just like all organs involved, the main goal is to prevent progression. The chance of achieving organ improvement is between 30 and maximally 50 percent.
jim: I have a close friend who had amyloidosis about 5 years ago. He went through chemo and had a bone marrow transplant. The disease damaged his kidneys. Yesterday he was complaining that he was short of breath after we took a walk. He also said he could feel palpitations. Could this be his amyloidosis? Is amyloidosis cured with the chemo and bone marrow transplant or is it just kept at bay to come back at a later time?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: First of all, these symptoms could represent heart involvement but would have to be evaluated.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Chemo and bone marrow transplant does not cure amyloidosis but it can lead to long lasting remissions (measured in many years).
Emily: You state "the chance of achieving organ improvement is between 30 and maximally 50 percent" is this statistic affected by or independent of the pretreatment extent of organ damage?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Yes - if there is scarring this cannot heal.
smith_v: Can you talk about diet and amyloidosis – is there anything someone should avoid if they have the condition?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: No - however if you have congestive heart failure from amyloid - you should restrict the sodium in your diet.
SecureHarbor: Do you correspond with the experts in Boston, such as Dr. Falk Cardiologist who has 20 plus years dealing with amyloidosis? Dr. Lever at the CC introduced us to him after he diagnosed my husband with a heart biopsy in 2008
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Yes we do communicate with experts at all facilities when indicated
ATTR-Journey: I obtained a liver transplant for my ATTR, alanine-60 variant, within about a year of real symptom onset. I have no peripheral neuropathy but it seems obvious I probably have autonomic neuropathy (GI symptoms, orthostatic hypotension). Cardiac involvement had started (ventricle wall slightly thicker and EF of 55%). I received my LT within the past year
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Unfortunately there are times when the progression of the amyloid can occur despite the liver transplant. Continual follow up of the heart would be necessary.
ATTR-Journey: Are persons who have had LT and whose heart condition degrades toward heart failure a potential candidate for a heart transplant (in other words is it possible to have a heart transplant after a liver transplant if heart failure started to occur)?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Yes and this would be evaluated on a case by case basis.
jenniferK: My cousin was just diagnosed with Pulmonary Nodular Amyloidosis - can you talk about that? what is it and what does it mean?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Pulmonary amyloidosis occurs most frequently with light chain amyloidosis. It only requires treatment if it causes symptoms. The treatment is directed against the clonal plasma cells.
QB786: My Father is a 76yr old and was diagnosed with lung cancer and amyloidosis. He has been on chemo for a year and I wonder if he is getting the right treatment. He was pretty active before all of this and he does not feel very good – very tired. In and out of heart failure. What should we do?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: We would need to see him - his fatigue may be due to the lung cancer and the treatment for lung cancer.
skarab: If one has AL amyloidosis manifesting in the kidneys, if a kidney transplant would be an option, wouldn't the Amy eventually recur in the new kidney?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: That is a concern and we only consider kidneys for transplant if the amyloidosis is in a complete hematological remission.
footballfan12:I was diagnosed with primary pulmonary amyloidosis and I am now taking a combination of chemotherapy and steroids. I am feeling a lot better but wonder what the success rate is with chemotherapy and amyloidosis
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Your physician should have an idea of how well the drugs are working based on blood and urine studies. If the light chains can be suppressed long term, the risk of progression in the lungs is low.
flrlady: My husband was just told that he has Amyloidosis He was diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer last August and they took 18" of his small bowel. He has been losing weight for along time. Last they found Amyloidosis in his stomach. Do you think he needs to have biopsy in other places is this normal for this to progress this way – I do really not understand the diagnosis – is cancer the same as amyloidosis in the stomach?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: The need for biopsy is determined by symptoms. The type of amyloid needs to be determined. Cancer is not the same as amyloid but some cancers can cause amyloid. Cancers of the antibody producing cells cause light chain amyloidosis. With other cancers general inflammation can lead to inflammatory amyloid, which is not cancer.
jonathan: Can you talk about amyloidosis and heart transplant? If you have heart failure are you a candidate for heart failure?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: It depends on the degree of heart failure and the extent of other organ dysfunction. We have done heart transplants on patients with transthyretin amyloidosis. We have established a protocol for patients with light chain amyloidosis.
SecureHarbor: My husband has primary cardiac amyloidosis; received stem cell transplant hd melaphan 05.2008 with 65% response and has continued 16 months on dex and revlimid as his hear worsens; what are the options with possibly a heart pump as done in 2004 at the university of maryland
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: We have never used an LVAD for someone with amyloidosis at the Cleveland Clinic - but we would be happy to evaluate him.
SecureHarbor: has anyone at any facility that you are aware; done a LVAD for cardiac amyloid; even if the amyloid is not in complete response?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: There have been isolated case reports. But -we have not done any at the Cleveland Clinic.
890ngbj: My dad has been having shortness of breath and had an MRI – they are now going to put him through a heart biopsy to rule out amyloidosis? Is that likely enlarged heart = amyloidosis? Isn't that really rare? Anyway – can you tell me more about the heart biopsy – what does it involve and is that the only way to diagnose this condition?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Amyloidosis typically does not cause an enlarged heart rather a thickened heart of normal chamber size. There are certain MRI characteristics that highly suggest amyloidosis.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: A heart biopsy is done by people with special training and is overall a very safe procedure with a low complication rate.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Confirmation of cardiac amyloid as well as the type of amyloid can be confirmed by biopsy.
mickey45: What is the life expectancy if you have cardiac amyloidosis?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: It depends on the type of amyloidosis and the extent of organ involvement.
kellicari: Is amyloidosis the same as cardiomyopathy and if not, how do they tell the difference between cardiomyopathy and amyloidosis?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Cardiomyopathy is a general term for any abnormality in the heart muscle. Amyloidosis causes a type of cardiomyopathy called restrictive cardiomyopathy where the heart is stiff and cannot fill well.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: In order to determine if amyloid is the cause of a cardiomyopathy one ultimately needs a heart biopsy.
sueS: Question for Dr. Mazen Hanna who is having a live Chat Monday May 10 about AMYLOIDOSIS. As facilitator of OH, MI, Philly and Phoenix AMYLOIDOSIS SUPPORT GROUPS, I e-mailed Dr. Hanna's chat to those groups. Many with Familial Amyloidosis have asked if FAMY will be included in the chat? Thanks, Sue.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Familial Amyloidosis questions will be included in this chat - please feel free to submit your questions.
SHHS: Hi - I'm a 66 year old male with ATTR Med30 and I'm finishing my two year clinical trial with BMC this coming August. I have not received a liver transplant. I do have cardiac involvement with an ef of 70%. Would I be a candidate for a heart/liver transplant?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: We would need to perform a formal evaluation as it would be difficult to say whether you would need both a heart and liver transplant vs. liver alone.
domino: Does the Cleveland Clinic have any clinical trials for Familial Amyloidosis patients?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: We do not at this time. You can search on http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ to see what available trials are.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: There is study with FOLDRX for patients with age related and TTR mutated cardiac amyloidosis open in Chicago.
kristen: A cousin of mine about 56 years old passed away from amyloidosis. I would appreciate any information you may be able to provide on this subject. I am interested in knowing how far away a cure might be and if it is hereditary.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: There are some types of amyloidosis that are hereditary and some that are not. There is no cure at this time however early diagnosis can lead to effective treatment in certain cases.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: It would be important to find out if this was a genetic amyloidosis type. If so, genetic counseling of first degree relatives would be advised.
lusby: From Lusby: is there any way to slow the progression of neuropathy caused by familial amyloid?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: FOLDRX actually showed statistically significant slowing of progression of neuropathy from familial amyloidosis.
ATTR-Journey: I am being treated at the Jacksonville Mayo campus. Are the Mayo facilities inter-related as to knowledge and expertise at treating ATTR FA? Or, should one pick a specific campus such as in Cleveland?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: We cannot speak to the Mayo Campus. Ask your physician in Jacksonville.
pljk567: My brother died at the beginning of the year from amyloidosis. My wife wants me to get tested? Should I and if so – what tests should I take to see if I have it?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: It depends on what type of amyloidosis your brother had. If it is the hereditary type, then yes you should get tested for the mutation (that is a blood test). If it is the light chain type, then genetic testing would not be necessary.
SecureHarbor: what is your protocol for light chain amyloidosis? I asked about the heart pump earlier? Did you receive that question?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: We want to see a good hematologic response with prediction of long term hematologic remission since the transplanted heart would otherwise be affected by amyloidosis again.
Emily: I have AL Amy, with renal involvement. My total cholesterol is about 300. Should I be taking a drug to control cholesterol?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Yes - it may even help the amyloid related vascular disease.
Emily: I have AL Amy. Why do I get purpura around my eyes? What causes this symptom of AL Amy?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Fragility of the blood vessels with subsequent bleed into the subcutaneous tissues.
sberry: for patients w/ AL and Light Chain MM how closely does the reduction of SFLC correlate to the level of amyloid production? If you can control the MM do you control the AL?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: This question has not been evaluated in a way that we can quantify amyloid deposition but a recent study showed that a 90% reduction in serum free light chains correlated with amyloid related outcomes.
mary_jm: Can you talk about stem cell therapy and the treatment of amyloidosis. I have been looking at the boards online and there was a woman whose mom was helped with stem cell therapy for her amyloidosis. Is that a current treatment or do you have to fit into a research program?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: High dose chemotherapy followed by autologous (your own stem cells) stem cell transplant is a standard treatment for light chain amyloidosis.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Other types of stem cell therapy are experimental.
Emily: In ASCT, what protocol do you typically use for AL amyloidosis with good organ function?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Induction with velcade and dexamethasone followed by high dose melphalan (200 mg/m2) prior to ASCT.
JWP43: What is the primary difference between Multiple Myeloma and Amyloidosis?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Multiple myeloma causes 4 symptoms summarized by the word CRAB - C = hypercalcemia (high calcium in blood); R = renal dysfunction (kidney); A= anemia (low hemoglobin blood count); B = bone disease related to localized or generalized bone resorption.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: AL Amyloid is characterized by deposition of light chains in various organs. These light chains are produced by the same cells that can cause multiple myeloma.
sharon1: Have you treated anyone with Multiple Myeloma that also had Cardiac Amyloidosis? What is the treatment and I wonder if the treatment would affect the amyloidosis?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: The most promising treatment for both diseases uses velcade and dexamethasone plus or minus low doses of conventional chemotherapy. It is most potent for both types of diseases.
ga_peach: Which typically comes first… myeloma or amyloidosis?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Can go either way.
eclipsefarm_2: I have MM and Amyloidosis and have had excellent results with Velcade and Dex.I do not have any organ involvement and am scheduled for a stem cell transplant. Is there any information how people respond with these newer drugs without having a transplant?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: First of all, you must have some organ involvement - otherwise amyloidosis would not be the diagnosis. If all organ functions are well, that is all the better.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: We do not have data on long term results with velcade and dexamethasone but if you tolerate the drugs without side effects, one reasonable option would be to collect stem cells but continue on therapy as long as it works and as long as you tolerate it.
ga_peach: Do you know the newer version of velcade will become available?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: The drug is called carfilzomib and we have participated in clinical studies that are now closed. The results are submitted to the FDA and I anticipate approval within one to two years.
ATTR-Journey: Are new drugs being developed to get rid of existing amyloid in AF patients who have had liver transplants?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Yes - drugs are developed with the goal to prevent deposition and remove amyloid. Only FOLDRX is in clinical trial at this point in the United States.
Emily: Why does Velcade/dexamethasone cause bloating? What exactly is happening...ascites or perhaps stomach distention? I do have leg/foot edema as well.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: There can be multiple reasons. Velcade can cause autonomic neuropathy. The anti-nausea medication given before velcade can cause constipation leading to bloating.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Dexamethasone can also cause bloating.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: They should not directly cause ascites but dexamethasone can cause fluid accumulation. If you are concerned about ascites, this should be evaluated by your physician.
ATTR-Journey: Is there any estimate when the FOLDRX study will be complete?
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: This study is anticipated to be completed in December of 2012 - you can go to www.clinicaltrials.gov for more information on FOLDRX.
SecureHarbor: Do I understand you correctly: You are saying there is a clinical trial with drugs that will remove amyloid deposits?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: Yes - although FOLDRX primarily tries to prevent amyloid deposition there is home that it will help remove amyloid from tissues.
skarab: If one has Al Amy in the kidneys and is currently on dialysis, even though the kidneys are still functioning, would one be a candidate for the Foldrx in hopes of eliminating amyloid deposits in the kidneys?
Dr__Frederic_Reu: No FOLDRX has not been studied for light chain removal. The treatment should be directed at the clonal plasma cells. There is currently no medication in clinical trials that aims at removing light chain amyloid deposits.
Emily: Many thanks for you time in answering my questions. It is so helpful to get additional information and relieves the stress of this disease. Thank you.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Thank you for your comments.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: I'm sorry to say that our time with Drs. Mazen Hanna and Frederic Reu are now over. Thank you again Drs. for taking the time to answer our questions about Amyloidosis.
Speaker_-_Dr__Mazen_Hanna: Thanks for your questions today. We would be happy to see you for an appointment.
Dr__Frederic_Reu: We hope we could be of some help today.

MANKATO, Minn. (AP) -- A Blue Earth County trial is under way for an eye doctor accused of sexually assaulting two female patients.
Todd Gavin faces two felony and two gross misdemeanor charges for allegedly having the young women remove their clothing during eye appointments in 2010 in Mankato and examining their breasts.
Defense attorney Richard Ohlenberg says Gavin has been practicing for 20 years and had never been accused of sexual impropriety. Ohlenberg says what prosecutors say was predatory behavior was just Gavin being a good doctor.
County Attorney Mike Hanson says both women felt violated when they left the exam room.
The Free Press (http://bit.ly/13gI1H6 ) says Gavin is a former Mankato Clinic doctor who now practices in Madelia.

A Masterton man convicted of deliberately crashing into a car in which his former partner and 2-year-old son were travelling has avoided jail.
Kieran Charles Brown, 20, was sentenced in the Masterton District Court yesterday on six charges that followed a heated argument between Brown and his then partner on January 5 this year.
They included assault with a blunt instrument (the car), common assault, dangerous driving, threatening to kill and two charges of breaching a protection order.
The court heard that Brown's former partner found texts from other women on his phone after they had returned home from a camping trip. She went around to his home to find out whether he had been unfaithful to her.
Judge Anthony Walsh said after the two argued, Brown followed his former partner as she drove away from his house.
"You followed her. You were upset and enraged.
"You were pointing at her, shaking your fist and screaming at her."
Judge Walsh said Brown's former partner had the couple's 2-year-old son in the car at the time.
Concerned for her safety and that of her son, Judge Brown said the woman pulled her car to the side of the road in Short St, Masterton.
The police summary of facts said Brown then drove straight at the woman's car, crashing into the back right-hand side of it.
Brown then shouted: "You are going to die. I am going to kill you," the summary said. He continued driving, crashing into a fence, before he shouted at her: "I am going to get you. I am going to come and slit your throat in the middle of the night."
Brown then turned his car around and drove back towards the woman, the summary said.
A man driving along Short St at the time parked his car between Brown's and his former partner's, the summary said.
Brown then got out of his car walked towards the man's car before he punched the man through an open car window, the summary said. The court heard Brown's former partner suffered bruising to her head, neck and knees in the crash.
In sentencing Brown, Judge Walsh said it was a bad example of dangerous driving and Brown must be held to account.
"It was crazy driving on your behalf. The court must denounce that.
"If there is any more offending of this nature you may well be looking at a term of imprisonment," Judge Walsh said.
Brown was sentenced to 12 months' intensive supervision and disqualified from driving for 18 months.
Judge Walsh noted that Brown had already completed an alcohol counselling programme and had paid $850 reparation for damage to his former partner's car.

Well, I guess I could say the classic because; "life is only as hard as you make it." That may have been true when our parents grew up, and only for some of us, but most of us (Americans) know during this day and age that this is not exactly the case. Common sense has gone from our laws. Equal justice has given way to social justice. What was once said by Thomas Jefferson "if it neither breaks my leg, nor picks my pocket" no longer applies. With the Obama administration ruling by administrative fiat (can you say "Dictator?"), things are no longer in our (the peoples) control are they? We go about our everyday lives. We are working harder and longer than ever before in our lifetimes, sometimes just to put gas in the car. Long gone are the days when the wife stayed home and cared for the children and the house. Now both parents have to work and work hard, sometimes even two jobs just to have what we are used to having, or to keep what we have already worked hard to get. Those days when working at Friendly's would pay your rent and buy you enough gas and leave enough cash in your pocket to go on that Friday night date or out with your friends are long since dead. Our children are not suffering or wanting (yet) because we make sure that they don't have to. By putting extra time and effort into the equation we (as American parents) make sure that they are the last to feel what we already know to be true. We try our best to shelter them from what we already know is a very hard pill to swallow. That the American dream is dead, that it doesn't apply to them. The fact that they will have to work even harder than we did to have less than we do is scary, but true. Unless we the people fix it, they will never again have what we as a country, as a people and as a (American) family have had. The Country, as a whole is suffering and the sad part is, it is our children that are going to bear the brunt of it. They will have to fix it and learn what freedom is and how to fight for it or watch it go away. Even the Obama voters who bought into the "O"-riginal lie (and you know who you are, I would keep it a secret and remove the bumper stickers) are trying their best to live the way they are accustomed and are failing, but that doesn't seem to matter. Instead they choose to live in denial and are trying to justify that MORE and not LESS Socialism is the answer to all the suffering and madness in America. Deep down they know they are wrong, but instead of admitting it, they will drag the whole Country (and anyone who disagrees with them) into the abyss kicking and screaming if need be, because, they alone know what's best for you. You (American People) are too stupid to make your own decisions. So we (the Progressives) will make them for you, we will protect you from yourself. It's for your own good, you'll see. "The ends justify the means." You will see we are right. It is this mentality and thought process that has killed and enslaved more people around the world than anything else. It is Communism, and America as well as freedom is in the (Death) throws of it. You can call it whatever you want, but a horse by any other color is still a horse. If you think it is just you and your family that is suffering, you are wrong. It is your neighbor, your community, your state, our entire Country. So think again, and don't feel bad. Always remember you are not alone. People all over this (once) great nation are losing their jobs, their houses, their posterity, their health insurance, and finally (I hope) their self-esteem and none of them through any CHOICE of their own. As a Nation, as a Country, as a people, this is the last thing we can afford to lose, our self-esteem, our very reason for being, our GOD, this is what makes us American. This is what made this Country and what made us Great. This is what makes us "exceptional", what sets us apart from the rest of the world, what makes us who we are, Americans. Our children need to be taught this. Yet they are not. Our children need to be taught the Constitution. Yet they are not. While we shelter, coddle and nurture them we fail to teach them. We need to once again teach them what it is that made them who they are; Religion, Faith, Love and respect for one another, the value of hard work, charity, loyalty and most of all we owe them the truth. We hide from them the truth. Why? We send them to public schools where the Government teaches them revisionist history and not accurate facts. Good and the bad, they need to know them both. They teach "new math" (what the hells is that) two plus two is not five (but it is if we say it is). We Give them "participation" trophies and tell them that they are all the best but that's just not true! That winning isn't everything. Instead we should be telling them "you really stink at this" maybe you should try gymnastics instead ballet, or baseball instead of football, maybe golf is your thing, you might really be good at that. I know, I know we don't want to hurt their feelings. What a bunch of crap!! Failure and disappointment as well as learning how to accept and learn from it takes effort and that effort builds character and that character is the Character of an American. Strong willed, honest, ready to fight for what is right, says what he means and means what he says, loyal to a fault because it's in his blood American. Have we forgotten this as well?
So, back to my original question: Why is this so hard? Because sometimes, the truth hurts and things aren't always what they seem to be. Because morals, values and the truth are not things you can compromise (I guess that's why Congress hates the TEA party). The hard lesson is always the one you remember and the easy road is always the one that leads to pain. You will forget how you got there, but you will remember how bad it hurt when you did. Once our founding principles are lost, weather through the lack of education or the lack of willingness to adhere to them, there will be no going back without an incredible amount of National pain and the loss of National treasure (blood). By then, it will be too late. The people who care enough to lose their treasure will be few, the ones who know better will have been killed or died, and the rest will be left to wonder why, and ask what if. The last line of the Declaration of Independence says "with a firm reliance on the protection of Devine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." Unless we teach these values to our children, or remember them for ourselves, the fight (I am afraid) will be over before it has even started, and we shall have no one to blame but ourselves for our own demise. And without these basic truths, our children will not know the difference nor will they understand what was lost, or how.
With Malice toward none;
Donald Vincent.

Kevin Bacon has apologized to international fans after sharing a spoiler for his TV show "The Following" online.
The actor, who plays FBI agent Ryan Hardy in the new series, risked the wrath of the show's devotees by re-posting a Twitter comment which gave away a key plot twist, making it instantly visible to his followers. The episode in question aired in the U.S. on Monday, but had not been shown abroad, and Bacon was quick to apologize for his error, uploading a video of himself repeating the phrase "my bad" three times.
Bing: 'Breaking Bad' script stolen from Bryan Cranston
In a post on Twitter, he wrote, "To all the fans abroad and late watchers I'm truly sorry I retweeted a spoiler. I just wasn't thinking. Won't happen again. #MyBad."

When I was thinking of making this 2012 follow forever thing, I thought it'd be easier to just go with a fandom-y graphic (because the norm dictates there ought to be a graphic to go along with the list). But when I think about it, it's not even really about fandom (although, of course, it's very convenient to categorize people and blogs according to that). Really, it's about the site itself and, of course, the people I get to interact with— the people who make it worthwhile to stay here, or to keep coming back.
Tumblr is weird in the way that it, sometimes, makes you feel as though you actually know someone even without any interaction that, in the 'real world,' would amount to anything close to 'substantial.' Cause, maybe I talked to someone once. Or a lot. Or maybe never at all. But there are bloggers who, even if all I'm actually doing is just looking at a portion of their internet activity, I feel like I actually know, and that I have some kind of connection with.
So if you're listed here, then I hope you have an idea why (that means the 'connection' doesn't solely exist in my head). But if you have no clue, then let me just say that I'm glad you exist, and that you blog, and that I can admire you even just from afar. (Also I hope that's not as creepy as hell, I honestly don't mean it to be! xD)

The 2014 OASDI Trustees Report, officially called "The 2014 Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Funds," presents the current and projected financial status of the Social Security trust funds.
OASDI stands for Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (Social Security). There are separate OASI and DI Trust Funds, with information about each in the Trustees Report.
Dated July 28, 2014, the full report is available at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/TR/2014/index.html.
It is well worth your time to read at least the report Highlights and Conclusion, both of which are short.
Short and long-range Social Security program solvency forecasts are provided using different economic possibilities. Overall, the Trustees Report contains much the same forecast for Social Security solvency as last year.
While not expected to continue for many more years, it may surprise you to read that overall combined Social Security income is exceeding overall expenses with asset reserves still growing. As since 2010, costs exceeded tax income in 2013.
From the Highlights:
At the end of 2013, the OASDI program was providing benefit payments to about 58 million people: 41 million retired workers and dependents of retired workers, 6 million survivors of deceased workers, and 11 million disabled workers and dependents of disabled workers. During the year, an estimated 163 million people had earnings covered by Social Security and paid payroll taxes. Total expenditures in 2013 were $823 billion. Total income was $855 billion, which consisted of $752 billion in non-interest income and $103 billion in interest earnings. Asset reserves held in special issue U.S. Treasury securities grew from $2,732 billion at the beginning of the year to $2,764 billion at the end of the year.
From the Conclusion:
Under current law, the projected cost of Social Security increases faster than projected income through about 2035 primarily because of the aging of the baby-boom generation and relatively low fertility since the baby-boom period. Cost will continue to grow faster than income, but to a lesser degree, after 2035 due to increasing life expectancy. Based on the Trustees' best estimate, program cost exceeds non-interest income for 2014, as it has since 2010, and remains higher than non-interest income throughout the remainder of the 75‑year projection period. Social Security's theoretical combined trust funds increase with the help of interest income through 2019 and allow full payment of scheduled benefits on a timely basis until the trust fund asset reserves become depleted in 2033. At that time, projected continuing income to the combined trust funds equals about 77 percent of program cost. By 2088, continuing income equals about 72 percent of program cost.
The Trustees project that the OASI Trust Fund and the DI Trust Fund will have sufficient reserves to pay full benefits on time until 2034 and 2016, respectively. Legislative action is needed as soon as possible to prevent depletion of the DI Trust Fund reserves in 2016, at which time continuing income to the DI Trust Fund would be sufficient to pay 81 percent of DI benefits. Lawmakers may consider responding to the impending DI Trust Fund reserve depletion as they did in 1994, solely by reallocating the payroll tax rate between OASI and DI. Such a response might serve to delay DI reforms and much needed corrections for OASDI as a whole. However, enactment of a more permanent solution could include a tax reallocation in the short-run. …
The Trustees recommend that lawmakers address the projected trust fund shortfalls in a timely way in order to phase in necessary changes gradually and give workers and beneficiaries time to adjust to them. Implementing changes soon would allow more generations to share in the needed revenue increases or reductions in scheduled benefits. Social Security will play a critical role in the lives of 59 million beneficiaries and 165 million covered workers and their families in 2014. With informed discussion, creative thinking, and timely legislative action, Social Security can continue to protect future generations.

By James Greiff

The Senate voted today to ban insider trading by members of Congress, their staffs and some federal workers. The bill, which already cleared the House, will now go to President Barack Obama, who probably will sign it.

There are at least two questions about the bill. The first is whether it's even necessary. The second is whether it goes far enough.

Last year, Securities and Exchange Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami testified that Congress and government employees already are subject to insider trading laws. But the bill's backers argued that existing law might not apply to certain activities of members of Congress. Last November "60 Minutes" based a long report on a book, "Throw Them All Out," which claimed to document possible insider trading in Congress. Many of the examples it cited might not have violated current insider trading laws, and certainly they would have been difficult cases to prosecute.

So much for the notion that the law is unnecessary; as we've argued, it is. In fact it could have been stronger.

The version of the bill that passed the Senate is missing a couple of provisions that would have given it a bit more heft. The most important would require more disclosure by so-called political intelligence consultants, hired guns who dig for closely held information to be used to trade stocks. Many work for hedge funds and securities firms, who just happen to be some of the biggest congressional campaign contributors.

Another provision would have given investigators new tools and greater scope to go after embezzlement of public funds, bribery and other types of corruption.

The vote on the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, by the way, wasn't even close: 96-3. What's surprising is that three members voted against it. Clear evidence of insider trading by members of Congress is sketchy at best. What's the harm in voting for a law that's unlikely to affect your fellow senators while at the same time shows voters you oppose corruption in Washington?
