George Gascón is a nationally recognized, highly sought-after police chief.
No one expected him to stay in Mesa forever.
But the idea, or at least the hope, was that he would stick around for five years.
That's how long the city figured it would take to fully revamp the department, which when Gascón arrived in 2006 was suffering from low morale, reeling from a nasty e-mail scandal and struggling to get a handle on crime with sustained budget cuts.
Mesa hoped it could lengthen Gascón's tenure by offering him salary bonuses for completing his third, fourth and fifth years with the city.
But extra cash may not be enough to keep such a forward-thinking law-enforcement strategist in town. Gascón has applied to be San Francisco's top cop, about seven weeks shy of receiving that first bonus check.
This isn't the first time headhunters have called on Gascón, and San Francisco has not yet chosen finalists for the retiring chief's job. Gascón's exit from Mesa at this point is in no way guaranteed.
But let's not make this a case of fully appreciating what we've got until it's gone.
The department has come a long way in a relatively short time. Gascón reorganized divisions to maximize boots on the street and foster collaboration among patrol officers and detectives.
He helped create the East Valley Gang and Criminal Information Fusion Center, which has helped local agencies share information about criminals and crime trends and has led to the arrest of several repeat offenders.
Crime rates are down significantly — about 34 percent since this time three years ago.
But the chief's experiment with civilian investigators that collect evidence and work with victims of non-life-threatening crimes, believed to be the first of its kind in the country, is still in its infancy.
He also is planning to focus on crime prevention initiatives this year, a result of the research he's conducting with a Harvard University group in an effort to reduce the long-term costs of community policing.
Though the chief clearly has been building a team to take over when he leaves, officers could use another year or two under his tutelage to ensure they can sustain all of these good ideas.
Yes, Gascón's stance on immigration has made him a polarizing figure. But it's hard to deny the positive impact he has made on this community. With more time and latitude to experiment, he'll transform what is now a good department into one of the nation's most efficient and cutting-edge police forces.
Now is as good a time as any to tell the chief that city leaders and residents are behind him — and better yet, that we're counting on him to finish what he has started.

Topics: Delivery of Care, Health Costs, Marketplace, Quality, Hospitals
Mar 12, 2013
The two well-known medical names say the collaboration is aimed at improving the quality of care while lowering costs at community hospitals across the nation.
The Wall Street Journal: Cleveland Clinic, Hospital Operator Forge Alliance
The Cleveland Clinic is forging an alliance with the big for-profit hospital operator Community Health Systems Inc., in a sign of how prestigious medical centers are leveraging their brands to extend their reach into untapped local markets. The new tie-up, which will involve quality-improvement efforts and other areas, comes as top medical names are creating more affiliations with health-care providers around the country (Mathews, 3/11).
Modern Healthcare: CHS, Cleveland Clinic Join Forces For 'Quality Alliance'
One of the nation's leading academic medical centers and the second-largest for-profit hospital chain by revenue announced a far-reaching collaboration Monday aimed at improving the quality of care while lowering costs at community hospitals across the U.S. The Cleveland Clinic, world-renowned for its cardiovascular care, will lend its expertise to the more than 130 hospitals in 29 states run by Community Health Systems, which is headquartered in Franklin, Tenn. CHS will gain access to a "quality alliance" already in place at the Cleveland Clinic that can electronically capture, report and compare data about patient outcomes; come up with predictive models for improving patient outcomes; and share those best practices across the CHS system (Lee, 3/11).

Co-Founder Pete "Bullfrog 13" Wikul's Inspiration to start Mission Ready
The inspiration to start Mission Ready arose from my personal experiences as a former Navy serviceman and U.S. Navy SEAL for 39 years.
Like many other SEALs, I have had my fair share of injuries in my career. The worst case was in 1984 in South Lebanon. I was on an isolated United Nations Observation Post (OP) at Chateau Beaufort trying to help a fellow United Nations Military Observer in danger when a leaking butane gas cylinder ignited and exploded 10 feet away from me. I suffered burns to 75% of my body.
The explosion and my injuries from it led to a number of other health issues including PTSD, which was misdiagnosed at the time as mononucleosis. PTSD mixed with the other stresses of a military career caused significant sleep problems. Other health issues included a botched medical procedure that caused an internal infection for a number of years, which led to chronic fatigue and more bad sleep. My sleep issues were further worsened by obstructive sleep apnea and age, which meant that for 12 years I had very little REM sleep. Without sleep, it was nearly impossible for my body to heal.
The inability to get the sleep your body needs is a miserable experience. I personally struggled with mood issues and felt like I was unable to be my best at all times, something that was critically important to my survival during my 39 years of service. Most of the time, I just put on my team guy face and powered through it with a smile.
I kept searching for a solution, trying everything that was out there, including various pharmaceutical sleep medications but it became obvious that they were not the answer for me. I recently read a Scripps study about the increase in death rates just from taking sleep medications, which drove home the point that sometimes prescription sleep medication can cause more problems than it solves. I can identify because drowsiness can be life-threatening for a SEAL. Well-intentioned and dedicated to their profession, traditional MDs did everything they could to help but their solutions were temporary at best and I continued to suffer from the many health impairments that arose from my sleep issues, just like millions of Americans experience every day.
My journey into nutrition, supplements, and nutraceuticals began early when I was in SEAL Team TWO in 1975. One of my teammates was spreading the gospel on eating right, supplementing diet with vitamins, minerals, and herbs as well as performing resistance exercise with correct form and breathing. With his inspirational leadership, I became fascinated with the whole subject of health and I became his disciple so to speak. My teammate was way ahead of his time and he voraciously read everything about health, and so did I. The first two books I read were Adele Davis' "Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit" and "Let's Get Well," and I haven't stopped reading since, amassing an extensive health and nutrition library.
Having failed to find a solution to my sleep issues through traditional medicine, my hobby of studying nutrition and alternative medicine became a passion as I continued my search for true healing. It became a mission. I needed to be "mission ready" all the time, not just some of the time.
CrossFit- Commitment to Community and Health
Two weeks ago, a few folks from the Mission Ready team attended the CrossFit Festivus Games in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Each of us was thoroughly impressed with the work ethic and raw talent demonstrated by the athletes. Their supporters and the box owners also provided a unique spark to the energy at the Festivus events.
While I can't speak for every team member's complete experience, I'd like to share my observations from the event in a two-part series. This week, part one looks at two takeaways that made me realize the degree of commitment and sense of community amongst these athletes. Next week's post will focus on Omega fatty acids and how athletes, and most people in general, know little about its importance to overall health.
Here are my first two observations from the CrossFit Festivus Games:
1– CrossFit is intense
I consider myself to be in decent shape for a guy in his mid-forties. I work out. I eat fairly well. I supplement my dietary requirements in areas where I don't do so well, but I cannot perform many of the exercises the CrossFit athletes perform with ease. When I tried, I slowly completed the workout BUT COULDN'T LIFT MY FREAKIN' ARMS AFTERWARDS. I guess I didn't try to lift them higher than my driving position until much later, but after I'd made it home I couldn't even lift my fork.
With that said, I admire you CrossFit athletes out there for sacrificing your ability to move limbs as a result of your commitment to wellness. Although, I wasn't at first, I am now completely committed.
In case you're headed to the gym or do your workouts at home and you want to find out for yourself, here is what I did:
Part 1 of the WOD (workout of the day) was called "Cindy." It is 20 minutes of AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, 15 squats. If that wasn't enough, Part 2 was 10 minutes of Box Jumps and something they call "Burpees."
You think you can meet the challenge?
2– CrossFit is community
When I first arrived at the Festivus Games in upstate New York, I had no idea what to expect beyond a couple of people with muscle and a few athletes with hustle. I did not expect to see an extended family of athletes, their supporters and box owners building camaraderie around living well, eating clean and doing what's best for the individual. I heard so many athletes sharing health, nutrition, and exercise tips. Even if they were competing against one another, the majority of the CrossFit athletes wanted to help each other be better.
In the afternoon, a man walked up to my table and picked up a bottle of Sleep Ready and clenched it tightly in his hand. He looked me in the eye and said, "Will this help me get to sleep?"
Of course I could not say yes definitively because I didn't know why he couldn't sleep. I simply felt fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down with the guy and talk about his sleep, a sore subject for him because he had not slept well in 20 years. Since he had been experiencing sleep problems for so long, he was emotionally exhausted by the search, high and low, for sleep solutions out of desperation. So I wanted to give him sound advice.
After pressing him with the hard questions about his self-reported activities and his symptoms, I think I got a sense of his sleep problems. I shared some sleep tips with him that I think will help everyone. I've embedded my favorite seven below as I have posted them on our Sleep Ready website, so that any member of the Mission Ready community can view them whenever she needs reminders on what might help her get some sleep.
*The athlete I spoke with eventually sent me a product review directly and he thanked the Mission Ready team for helping him to get a good night's rest, not a prescription-drug induced zombie nap, for the first time in a very long time.
Stay tuned for next week's observations from the CrossFit Festivus Games.
Achieving Your Peak, the Navy SEAL Way
If I want peak performance, I think about the Triad of Wellness: nutrition, exercise, and sleep. You can find this at www.getmissionready.com. If you eat the right foods, your brain will function properly and then everything else in your body will work optimally. You should maintain your fitness with exercise, and always have a good night's rest to wake up refreshed. To me, those are the three main areas of focus.
However, with the way we live our lives in this fast-paced society, you can't always work at your own pace or follow an exact plan. World events, the weather, and information are constantly changing. For example, in the 1980s when I was a U.S. Navy SEAL in a "training pace," so-to-speak, and we got called for a mission on 24 hours notice and deployed for many months. That meant we weren't getting much if any sleep that night and many more to follow. Instead, we were preparing to deploy overseas. And the few hours we did try to sleep, our minds were still racing with thoughts of planning and coordination—considering every contingency we could think of.
A lot of the time, when SEALs go on missions, whether they are training or real, they have been up for a very long period of time. It's not a football or baseball game with a set number of hours or a marathon or triathlon where you know the distance. All our missions were fraught with danger— we lost men in peacetime training, honing skills for war. Unlike the sports you see on television, our "game" can last for days, and instead of tearing an ACL or bruising muscles or breaking bones (which we do routinely), some of our SEALs are severely wounded or killed in action. In sports, the players get a pre-game night's rest and a hearty meal. In the SEAL business, you just might go to "the game" with no sleep and eating field rations along the way. At the end of "the game" you don't get interviewed on radio and television along with a victory celebration, but instead you can get orders for a follow-on mission. It happens.
As a former Commanding Officer of SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team TWO, our team participated in the most mentally and physically challenging and complex missions in special operations. We operated SEAL Delivery Vehicles (SDV) using submarines as a host platform. Any time you're working with submarines, you at the least double the complexity of the mission set, not to mention that the maritime environment is the most difficult to master.
SDV and submarine missions are very long. SDVs are wet submersibles, which mean the SEALs operating them are actually in a dive status breathing SCUBA. Despite wet and dry suits providing thermal protection, it can get really cold. Piloting and navigating the SDV is also a mental exercise because you're potentially driving for six hours or more. For a pilot flying a plane, he usually has a visible horizon and can look out the windows and see the land or ocean below and at night see the starts. In an SDV, you're underwater, on dive status, driving a relatively slow moving vehicle with absolutely no horizon, with nothing but instruments in front of you.
And that is what Navy SEAL trains to do. In our basic training you learn how to mentally push through all forms of adversity. We accepted difficult challenges on a routine basis as the norm and that included lack of sleep. We performed optimally in all our mission sets because we were in great physical shape and our training gave us a mindset and discipline to power through the most difficult of circumstances. Most of us ate really well and a lot too. The disrupter at home was the fact that, even when we were not deployed on a training exercise or in a combat zone, two or three times a week you're still working nights planning, coordinating, and executing training missions with the discipline and diligence you would in war. You train the way you will fight. So, you go back and forth between working days and nights, and you do this throughout a career. Meanwhile, your body is always trying to catch up on sleep.
When I was first in this business in the early 70s and 80s, we didn't have a lot of administrative, technical, and combat service support, so we had to do everything. We had less sleep. Now, SEAL teams have a lot of support troops and technicians that help them do things that we used to do on our own. The SEAL operators of today are able to get some more sleep than we did, which is the better for them.
I was trained to do all parts of the "peak performance triad" over the years: be in the best shape you can be—i.e., have good strength and endurance, eat well, and get good quality sleep when I could get it. I would always try to do this to my best ability. There are other components to peak performance like training, discipline, and mental focus. We'll talk about them in a future blog. But for now, if you focus on the triad, you'll be able to achieve peak performance, too.
Meet Lori Tubbs
Hi, I'm Lori Tubbs, a registered dietitian and certified specialist in sports dietetics. I'm thrilled to be blogging for Bullfrog 13 & Friends, and really looking forward to sharing my life's work with you. My philosophy and personal passion are to bring both fitness and nutrition to the forefront of any lifestyle change for better health.
For the past 14 years, I've been working as a military nutritionist and public health educator for many commands within the U. S. Navy. I have seen, firsthand, the hard work many endure on aircraft carriers, submarines and within the special operations community. Regardless of what military community one works with, anyone serving in the military, especially over the past eleven years, deserves a long lasting quality of life for the sacrifices made for this country. With the culture of physical conditioning and operational readiness, military members need to have the energy to sustain the pressures of the military and manage personal and family-related goals and objectives.
With respect to nutrition, people are all different with varying backgrounds and they have unique food likes and dislikes. Because people come from various environments, there is no one size fits all approach. It always helps for me to understand the motivation behind the lifestyle changes. Often the best advice is to look at food as a fuel, its fuel for the engine. You need high-octane fuel to perform as a weapon's platform whether it is an aircraft carrier, F-18 jet or the human body. Changing eating habits for a lifetime can be challenging. It takes time and effort for a behavior to become long lasting.
It is an honor to be among a group as quality-driven as the Bullfrog 13 and Friends community. I'm excited to discuss my ideas and I hope you will share the challenges you may be facing with nutrition and lifestyle changes.

A Brain Implant For Synthetic Memory
Guns, lots of Guns (87 comments)
Who says they need to replace existing memories? Booting up 5 years of flight school after one operation seems like an obvious use of this technology. Downloading a full Chinese or Korean vocabulary would be handy as well. Even if training the muscles took time, having the data local would sure expedite the process. Think of all the roles, military and otherwise that require memorization of facts/processes and the applications of this tech become had to imagine.

The Montreal Canadiens will face off against the Boston Bruins tonight in a winner take all Game 7 at the TD Garden in Boston.
The Bruins have a well earned reputation for winning big games, and coming through in Game 7 situations, as they did three times on their way to a Stanley Cup just three years ago. The Bruins also mounted an historic comeback in the first round last season against the Toronto Maple Leafs in a storied seventh game.
This will be Boston's 9th Game 7 since the 2008 postseason when the Canadiens beat them 5-0 at the Bell Centre in the deciding game of the opening round. In fact, the last time the Bruins made the playoffs and did not play in a 7th game, was way back in 2003. Clearly they have lots of experience in must win situations.
After being defeated by the Habs in 2008, the Bruins were similarly knocked out in 2009 and 2010 in Game 7 losses to the Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers. The latter, a game in which they blew a 3-0 lead, after blowing a 3-0 series lead as well.
Since then, Boston has won four of their last 5 seventh games, and bring back nine skaters from the team that defeated the Canucks in Vancouver to win the Stanley Cup in Game 7 of the Finals in 2011.
The Canadiens will have eight players making the Game 7 debut tonight, as Max Pacioretty, David Desharnais, Brendan Gallagher, Michael Bournival, Rene Bourque, Dale Weise, Alexei Emelin and Nathan Beaulieu have never been exposed to this type of atmosphere in the past.
However, many of the Canadiens players have plenty of Game 7 experience, and aside from a loss in overtime to the Bruins in 2011, their experience has been successful. That Nathan Horton goal in 2011 that broke the backs of the Habs snapped a four game, Game 7 winning streak by Montreal, dating back to 1994.
Longtime Canadiens defensemen Josh Gorges and Andrei Markov were both injured in that loss in 2011, and have unblemished records in deciding games. Both veterans came out victorious in 2008 against the Bruins and in 2010 over the Washington Capitals. Markov was injured for the 2010 Game 7 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but Gorges was in the lineup, along with P.K. Subban, Tomas Plekanec, Brian Gionta, and Travis Moen.
Only three Canadiens have losing records in their Game 7 history, as Lars Eller, Thomas Vanek and Mike Weaver are all 0-1. Eller was the seldom used fourth line center of the Habs in 2011, while Vanek's Buffalo Sabres lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in 2011, and Weaver's Panthers fell in double overtime to the New Jersey Devils in 2012.
Captian Brian Gionta has the most victories of all Habs with four, with two coming in 2010 with the Canadiens, an a pair of victories when he was a member of the New Jersey Devils en route to a Stanley Cup in 2003.
Daniel Briere has been the most productive Habs in past seventh games, scoring two goals and five points in four games. He has won three of those four contests, all while a member of the Flyers, his only loss coming in 2006 with the Buffalo Sabres.
Combined, the Habs entire roster is a very impressive 26-10 in their Game 7's of past, while the expected lineup for tonight is 20-7.
Both teams have a history of winning these elimination games in their recent past, and it promises to be a very close game tonight. The Bruins home ice advantage may come in to play, as Carey Price has won one Game 7 in his NHL career, coming at the Bell Centre against the Bruins, and he has lost one Game 7, against the Bruins as well, but in Boston in 2011.
Price will have to reverse that trend if the Canadiens are going to move on to the Eastern Conference Finals to take on the New York Rangers.

Models from London Fashion Week sport bold under-eye liner. (Photo: NY Mag)
After years of devotion to the cat eye look and fierce upper eyelids, we were a little shocked when we saw these shots from the spring 2013 shows at London Fashion Week. Liner has migrated under the eyes, and models sported bold slashes of pigment in hues ranging from bright white to midnight black. We love experimentation as much as the next girl, but we wondered: is this look wearable off the catwalk? We asked veteran makeup artist Laura Geller to translate the runway trend to real life.

jane roos, 44

artist & philanthropist
you had different plans for your life when you were a teenager – what happened?
when i was grade 13, i was a heptathlete and a model. on november 8 (of that year), i was in a car with my girlfriend and she fell asleep at the wheel. she died instantly. i survived. i had 2 back operations. the magnitude of what happened to her and to me were night and day. i was very lucky to live. it changes you so drastically. i was an athlete, i was modelling, i was focused on going to the olympics, to the states on a scholarship, it changed my life inside out. it made me have to reinvent myself. i really identified with being an athlete, a model, the person who had a lot of expectations. and after the accident, no one had expectations of me. they were just like, you're lucky to be alive. so after the 2nd back operation, while i was still in the hospital recovering, i organized a fundraiser from (my bed) in the hospital and we raised $40k for athletes who are competing on the world stage.
what motivated you to do that?
there's a really old movie called fearless. it's all about how they survive a plane accident and it's the only movie i've ever watched that i can really identify with. when you go through an experience of living when someone dies, there's a lot of gratitude, there's a lot of why me, and you want to honour the person who didn't get that opportunity. when i was in the hospital the 2nd time, i learned that you're only here once, and you can make a difference.
i feel like i learned this early on because of what happened to me. a lot of people i know in their 40s, they're kind of catching up with me now. because i had to go through this experience, i had to do something. at the very beginning, i had athletes coming to my house and they'd give me receipts and i'd just give them money. now we've raised over $16 million. and we don't work that way anymore! but we started very grassroots. at the time i had no idea it would evolve into what it is now.
what's the goal of your foundation, canadian athletes now?
two years out before every games, we are helping athletes. the top athletes in the country receive $1500 a month from sport canada. that's only the top athletes. and that's often not enough to cover their living and training expenses. we have several different programs but one of our programs focuses on a match. we call it 1500 for $1500. we're trying to get 1500 canadians to raise $1500 each to support one athlete.
can you raise the $1500 among a group of people for one athlete?
yes! we helped 85% of the team canadian olympic team in vancouver.
and you've been able to get some high profile support?
one of my goals is to create things that people want to buy and use that to help athletes. so initially i asked famous canadians to paint. a few years ago chantal kreviazuk, peter mackay, randy bachman, jann arden, a whole bunch, they all painted and we auctioned off their work.
last year i painted a canvas and gave it to famous canadians to write on the canvas and we're doing the same this year. november 20 is our final fundraiser before sochi and we auction them off. our goal this year is $400,000 and we have paintings by georges st-pierre, prime minister stephen harper, justin trudeau, peter mansbridge, gord downey…and celine dion gave us tickets to her show and an opportunity to meet her.
i want canadian talent to be celebrated but i want to use what they've accomplished to be able to help people coming up. this is a great way to do that. this piece of art will tell a story, it will go to a great cause, and it will help someone succeed on the world stage.
you run an art gallery and you are an artist yourself – when did you get involved with art?
both my grandparents were artists. i grew up in home where i chose to be an athlete instead. and that ended with the accident. but when i was pregnant with my first daughter, my father was terminally ill. i needed an outlet. there's a restaurant in toronto called cantine where the owner showcases art once a month. and so the owner gave me the month of may and we came up with 12 paintings to have a show. i had my first show. very few people then knew i painted. not even my core group. it went really well, 8 paintings sold and ever since then i've been painting. i do a lot of commission work, and i've had paintings sell throughout the world.
i opened the gallery in 2008 just before the beijing games and the first show was done by athletes competing in the games. and a gentleman came in and bought the entire show for $25,000. there is no limit to generosity.
you sound like someone who doesn't stop and spends her days doing things for others. what do you do for yourself?
i get a lot of joy out of painting. i can escape into the studio – it's attached to my gallery. it's an amazing outlet. i just had a baby who's now a year old. i'm severely sleep deprived! so i love getting my hair blowdried out. wash and blowdry to me is a treat.
i enjoy the simple things. my time is tied up with 3 businesses and 2 children. when i do have downtime, i simplify, walk the beach. and i'm still learning that. to take some time for yourself.
what advice can you give to others in how to manage it all?
jane: i love what i'm doing. it makes it a lot easier when you're passionate about what you do. i don't mind getting "no". i collect 10 "nos" a day when i'm out there trying to raise money for charity. you can't sweat that. if you're getting a no because you're doing something you believe in, it makes it worth it. be committed to your passion, not attached to your result. i truly live that way. i don't worry ever about the "how". i work hard and i put a lot of time into my projects, but i definitely don't worry about the "how". all i know is that the "why" motivates and drives me.

Joseph's Coats' foliage shines in summer
When gardeners want to add color to the landscape, they often reach for flowering annuals and perennials.
While these colorful flowers always catch the eye, their selection is usually limited at this point of the summer.
Many gardeners never consider buying colorful foliage plants for anything but shady areas, but let me encourage you to reconsider their usefulness. These plants provide color, and you can still find good selections available in the local garden center that you can plant in the heat of summer.

Clashes in Cairo after Mursi seizes new powers
CAIRO (Reuters) - Angry youths hurled rocks at security forces and burned a police truck as thousands gathered in central Cairo to protest at Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi's decision to grab sweeping new powers.
Police fired tear gas near Tahrir Square, heart of the 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak at the height of the Arab Spring. Thousands demanded that Mursi should quit and accused him of launching a "coup".
There were also violent protests in Alexandria, Port Said and Suez.
Mursi on Thursday issued a decree that puts his decisions beyond any legal challenge until a new parliament is elected. Opponents immediately accused him of turning into a new Mubarak and hijacking the Egyptian revolution.
"This is the point of no return for Mursi. He has dug himself deeper in a hole and won't know how to get out of it," said Ahmed Saleh, an activist who said many would stay in Tahrir square until Mursi withdrew the decree.
"The people want to bring down the regime," shouted protesters in Tahrir, echoing a chant used in the uprising that forced Mubarak to step down.
The United States, the European Union and the United Nations expressed concern at Mursi's move.
Mursi's rivals condemned him as an autocratic pharaoh who wanted to impose his Islamist vision on Egypt.
The president's aides said the decree was intended to speed up a protracted transition to democracy that has been hindered by legal obstacles
"I am for all Egyptians," Mursi said on a stage outside the presidential palace, adding that he was working for social and economic stability and remained committed to the revolution.
Egyptian judges will meet on Saturday to respond to Mursi's move, which put him above the judicial oversight. The judges could threaten to go on strike, which would bring the judiciary to a halt.
Some non-Islamist political parties called for a million-strong march on Tuesday to demand that Mursi rescinds his decree.
But Islamist parties, including the Building and Development Party, accused Mursi's opponents of undermining the democratic process that brought him to office.
"Those calling for the downfall of President Mohamed Mursi have rejected democracy because President Mursi has been democratically elected by popular will," the party said in a statement. Mursi's decree would "save the revolution from the remnants of Mubarak's regime", it said.
Buoyed by accolades from around the world for mediating a truce between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip, Mursi on Thursday ordered that an Islamist-dominated assembly writing the new constitution could not be dissolved by legal challenges.
Mursi, an Islamist whose roots are in the Muslim Brotherhood, also gave himself wide powers that allowed him to sack the unpopular public prosecutor and opened the door for a retrial for Mubarak and his aides.
The president's decree has consolidated his power but looks set to polarise Egypt further, threatening more turmoil in a nation at the heart of the Arab Spring.
In Alexandria, north of Cairo, protesters ransacked an office of the Brotherhood's political party, burning books and chairs in the street. Supporters of Mursi and opponents clashed elsewhere in the city, leaving 12 injured.
A party building was attacked by stone-throwing protesters in Port Said, and demonstrators in Suez threw petrol bombs that burned banners outside the party building.
Although Washington has praised Egypt for its part in bringing Israelis and Palestinians to a ceasefire on Wednesday, it expressed reservations about Mursi's latest move.
"The decisions and declarations announced on November 22 raise concerns for many Egyptians and for the international community," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
The European Union urged Mursi to respect the democratic process, while the United Nations expressed fears about human rights.
"The decree is basically a coup on state institutions and the rule of law that is likely to undermine the revolution and the transition to democracy," said Mervat Ahmed, an independent activist in Tahrir protesting against the decree.
Leading liberal Mohamed ElBaradei, who joined other politicians on Thursday night to demand the decree was withdrawn, wrote on his Twitter account that Mursi had "usurped all state powers and appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh".
Almost two years after Mubarak was toppled and about five months since Mursi took office, Egypt has no permanent constitution, which must be in place before new parliamentary elections are held.
An assembly drawing up the constitution has yet to complete its work. Many liberals, Christians and others have walked out accusing the Islamists who dominate it of ignoring their voices over the extent that Islam should be enshrined in the new state.

This summer the duo performed a set for the Boiler Room x Flow Festival. Watch, listen and behold the magic and dark techno that is Femme En Fourrure.
Helsinki duo and Discobelle fam Femme En Fourrure dropped their much anticipated album "36-26-36″ yesterday and the album showcases 12 tracks of polished, minimal, and bassheavy productions topped with sultry female vocals, essentially this is: "music for DJs and catwalks, nightly promenades and oceanside sexin" and one of the best albums of 2013.

Tracklist after the jump!
Released last summer, Femme En Fourrure's debut on Discobelle Records was a dark, deep minimal exploit into the greyzone between house, techno and minimal.
Now, we've got a new track to share with you. French Fries and Manare take most unsettling parts of the original track (the back alley off-key piano twinklings) and coats the deep tech house vibe of the original in a thick layer of UK funky influenced bass, making the end product sinister in a completely different way.
But just because it's sinister doesn't mean it won't make people dance, knowwhatimean? Grab it for free below, this one's on us.

text: San Diego Union Trib: 'WH Compounds IRS Abuse of Power' by Debra Heine 10 Dec 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to POTUS Subverted DOJ Investigation During Chris Matthews Interview : The San Diego Union Tribune editorial board is one of the few in the country willing to hold Obama responsible for the damage he's doing to the country. In fact, in 2012, they rated Obama the worst POTUS in history. In an oped, Monday, they slammed the Obama administration for their duplicity in the IRS scandal, noting that after admitting in May that the IRS's targeting practices were problematic, Obama promised a thorough investigation. As multiple conservative news outlets (including this one) have pointed out, no investigation of the IRS scandal by the Obama administration can be discerned by anyone. Last month, an attorney working for 41 of the targeted nonprofit groups said no one at any of the groups had ever been interviewed by federal investigators. Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI refused requests from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to provide information on its investigation. FBI officials also canceled a previously scheduled meeting with committee members. And the president — who in May said people were "properly concerned" with the IRS' actions — used an MSNBC interview to whitewash the agency. The San Diego Union Tribune points out that the original abuse of power has been compounded with another abuse of power: "promising to get to the bottom of a scandal and then doing nothing." They call the Regime's behavior "shameless and shameful", but "wholly predictable." Meanwhile, the shameful and predictable IRS targeting abuses continue - ObamaCare whistleblower, C. Steven Tucker has more details about his audit and his visit last Friday with the Treasury IG in Chicago, in an interview with Arlen Williams at The American Thinker. Then Treasury Inspector General Williams arrived with an associate. He showed me his business card and his badge and then sat down to begin his inquisition of sorts during which he and his associate took copious notes. To my surprise his questions were not designed to find out why I was sent the letters of demand but more to find out more about me and even more surprisingly my new friend Bill Elliott. He asked for Bill Elliott's phone number twice. I did not give him Mr. Elliott's phone number. He then asked for a timeline of events. He asked 'How did you first meet Bill? What law did you use to help him get his policy restored? What television program did he appear on?' etc. He then asked for my full name and my social security number since the IRS letters of demand were sent to my corporation and not to my personal name. And, then at the end of his line of questioning he made sure to tell me that 'you need to resolve these issues with the IRS, if not, as you may be aware, you may be visited again by other IRS representatives in your home and we do reserve the right to garnish your wages and lien your assets.' Mr. Sneckenberg and I then wished them a Happy Holiday and showed them both the door. Read the full interview, here.

Holy Cross to face challenging schedule
Worcester, MA (Sports Network) - Holy Cross football will play six home games and seven contests against schools that posted winning records last season as part of a 2011 schedule announced Monday.
"We will face another challenging schedule this season," Crusaders head coach Tom Gilmore said. "We are excited to open the year with three straight home games, even though they will come against three outstanding opponents. The non-conference portion of our schedule will be very tough, as we face three of the top teams in the Ivy League and two perennial powers from the Colonial Athletic Association. We hope that those games will help prepare us for the tough battles we will face in Patriot League play."
Holy Cross will open the season against intra-state rival Massachusetts of CAA Football on Sept. 1, in the first-ever night game at Fitton Field. The opening home stretch continues against Patriot League rival Colgate on Sept. 10 and Ivy League power Harvard on Homecoming Day Sept. 17.
The Crusaders' other home games are against Dartmouth (Oct. 15), Georgetown (Oct. 29) and Lafayette (Nov. 12).
The games against teams with winning records last year are: UMass; Colgate; Harvard; New Hampshire; Brown; Dartmouth; and Lehigh.
Holy Cross will play only five Patriot League games because Fordham, whom the Crusaders face Nov. 19 in New York, is ineligible for the league title for a second straight season.

White Privilege
You want to know the reason why I dislike it? Because it's based on this assumption that all white people will have these certain rights over POC, because the color of their skin, not the level of success, or anything else. People also don't seem to understand that white privilege is a theory, not a fact.
Because I don't get how we have white privilege, when black people can get certain scholarships for their skin color, but we cannot. They even have a law that make universities/jobs enroll/hire a certain percentage of African-Americans, even if others were more qualified. Not to mention there are entire channels, magazines, history book, a month, etc dedicated to African-Americans. Yes, we tend to see more white people in channels, magazines, movies, etc, but we're the majority, so isn't that bound to happen? This is not a privilege of being white.
White privilege just seems like another way to guilt and shame white people for the color of their skin. I do not believe in white privilege, and that doesn't mean I'm racist.
There's no scholarships for being white? Are you sure, cuz here's a big list of them:

Pretty much every TV channel, magazine, and month is dedicated to White people. EVERY history book we learn about in school is about White people and their White history, while the only time we learn about Black history, which is the history that ACTUALLY shaped this country, is during the tiny month of February. And yeah, you're really fucking racist.
Ummm, I don't think you understand how Affirmative Action worlds, OP. You can't just get a scholarship because of the color of your skin. Nice try though. Also, yes Privilege Theory is a theory. However, by your tone, it seems you are confusing the term "theory" with the word "idea." Theories are tested, have a high amount of evidence, and are things that are GENERALLY ACCEPTED BY THE SCHOLASTIC COMMUNITY. Gravity is a theory. Psychodynamics is a theory. Do we accept these things as being fact, because they are the closest we can get to the facts of a construct? Yes. Yes we do.
White privilege does not mean that all white people will have fantastic, easy lives. Fuck, I am white and my life has NOT been easy, especially since I am a gay American. Yet, even though my life has not been EASY, it has been PRIVILEGED.
I have grown up being influenced by a society that portrays people like me as heroes, as beautiful, as leaders, and as role models. I have never been oppressed because of the color of my skin. I don't have hundreds of years of a violent history against my people withheld from me. I have not been villainized and vilified because I have light skin.
And last, but most certainly not least, yes, your little rant DOES make you quite racist.
(via blueklectic)
It isn't about feeling guilty for being white, it's about motivating yourself and other white people to stand up against a culture which permits the murder of people of color to go unreported and blames them for getting angry about it. Not to mention the wage gap, stigmas perpetuated about people of color, misrepresentation in the media, etc. If the aforementioned pisses you off less than being asked to shut up and listen or admit that white privilege does exist, you have a serious problem.

A friend posted this on Facebook. I bet the author of this article thinks she is really doing a good job and is trying to inspire activism. But lord, oh, lord. My dear POC, I apologize for this white woman. Really, I do.

In 1970, one full year after their embarrassing 1969 Western Division playoff loss to the British Columbia Lions, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were eliminated from the CFL postseason in the first round for the third consecutive year. This time their executioners were the Calgary Stampeders, who walloped the Bombers 51-12.

1999 Ram 2500 Diesle Power Loss
1999 Ram 2500 Diesle Power Loss
It did not do this again until back on interstate and it was hot outside again, last Thurs. (Only on interstate one other time and it was winter.) It did this again last Friday but this time I was only doing 45 mph. and on a state route.
Mechanic said the code calls for either Fuel filter, Fuel pump, or Lift Arm. Tried the filter (2 weeks ago and all was well on interstate but only a short test run), and the lift arm was replaced a year and a half ago. Getting the pump now but saw something about the computer on the pump, may actually be the problem and when getting the pump replaced I should have the computer replaced as well???? Does this seem right or can you make a suggestion I can ask my mechanic? Pump is VP44
Chris Stewart
Welcome to the site ,
Your Dodge/Cummins has fuel mileage and power capabilities far beyond a basic gasser but it isn't gas-n-go like a gasser either...it's a bit involved but not difficult to manage.
Obtain a repair manual at your favorite auto parts store so you can get up quick on your truck. You also need gauges to get info from your truck but more on that later..
Your 24 valver has a Lift Pump that takes fuel from the fuel tank and delivers it to your Injector Pump(VP44). This VP44 is the weak link and because it's so expensive, it deserves extra consideration. For years the Dodge Diesel guys have been trying different things to get the VP44 to live and through basic R&D, they've discovered a few things that help most and are running up the miles.
Fuel lubes and cools the VP44 and we watch that with the Lift Pump fuel pressure. We generally like to see 13-15psi idle, 12-13psi cruising hwy speed and no less the 5-7 psi at wide open throttle(WOT). A pressure gauge installed in the cab, connected by pressure line to the outside fitting on the top of your fuel filter housing will get you lift pump fuel pressure to watch.
Diesel fuel has very little if any lubricating abilities so fuel treatments like Power Service, Howes, Lucas and Stanadyne add lubrication to the fuel. I use the MFG's recommend on dosages.
There is fuel returned to the fuel tank from the fuel system and because some of it comes from a passage in the cylinder head of the motor, it's hot. This is fine in the winter because diesel fuel can gel in very cold temperatures BUT in the summer, it can get hot enough that it won't cool electrical components in the VP44. Most folks are keeping their fuel tank 1/2 full or better. We're currently looking for an end all fuel cooler that does not restrict flow or pressure.
Many folks have found that they had no lift pump pressure after they install a gauge or change the fuel filter so be ready for that.
Your symptoms could mean a fueling, boost pressure, MAP sensor, battery voltage or even a fuel pressure issue.
What was the trouble code?
was you trouble code for a injector pump timing....To isolate the lift pump or injector pump, you need to do a flow test from the lift pump..

I purchased this 45 Quart Iris Food Storage Container over 6 years ago. It will hold a large bag of food. The lid will seal up keeping the food nice and dry.
I also like that Hrothgar has not figured out how to open it and has not been able to knock it over.
Durable, easy to clean, love it.
Pros: durable, affordable,
Cons: none

Hart Plaza is a city plaza along the Detroit River. It is located on the site at which French explorer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac landed on July 23, 1701 when he founded Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit. The 14-acre plaza, which is named for the late U.S. Senator Philip Hart, opened in 1975. At the center of the plaza is the Dodge Memorial Fountain. Pylon is the stainless steel spire sculpture positioned near the entrance and Transcending is the arch sculpture located west of the entrance. And for all you non-Detroiter, Journey fans still paying attention, that's Windsor on the other side of the river. (at Carat)

The Purple Gang, also known as the Sugar House Gang, was a mob of bootleggers and hijackers. They operated out of this building (which shares a wall with our building) in the late 1920's. They reigned supreme over the Detroit underworld, controlling the city's vice, gambling, liquor and drug trade. They also ran the local wire service, providing horse racing information to local horse race betting parlors and handbooks. The gang members cavorted with many famous mobsters including Al Capone.

"First off let me start with I have no affiliation with BVI.com, but merely a customer. Before you go crazy and all worried over all the others review I like to share my experience. I purchase canon 6d +24-105mm and saved over $500 (which is half of lens) Now the camera is graymaket but how does that affect me. I have dealt with canon warranty with proper US model and it was the worse experience I have had. Some of the reviews stated they will send u used camera or lens with fingerprints on it. I much rather get a camera that has been test it before shipping than having to return it. Fingerprints on a lens even my local store will let you pull out and look at/test the lens. Does this make it used? Probably not! Before you start looking at ebay and such for a camera you have to know how those businesses operate. They buy kits and they split them in most cases. I have made my peace with that so should you if you are looking for a bargain. I am ok with missing a manual or generic box as long as they save me good money on good equipment. Fortunately I had never had to contact costumer service for warranty inquiries so I cannot comment on that."
"Bought a Rokinon 35mm F/1.4 lens from their eBay store. Not only did it take multiple messages, and a phone call to them (in which a customer service representative was very rude), but they finally told me after four days that the item was unavailable, and would ship in the following week. I said that was acceptable, but requested they ship it via 1 day shipping, which they (by message) agreed to. Even though they accepted that offer, I today checked the tracking, and it was shipped via UPS Ground. I'm very dissatisfied, and I will likely never purchase from them again."
"Throuhg Rakuten.com, I placed an order on a Brand New Nikon Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Telephoto Zoom Lens from BigValueInc on 9/17/2013. It was delivered earlier on 9/19/2013. However, the item was not a brand new one as advertised. The lens didn't come with the Nikon lens box. There was no warranty or registration documentation except a manual. The manual was not packed with a plastic bag and one corner of the manual was folded. Moreover, the lens bag was worn to some extent. Some fingerprints can be seen on the body of the lens and the cap. Briefly, it is not a brand new one as advertised. When I contacted with the customer service and talked to two female. Both were rude and none of them were patient. Both they told me that the returning label would be sent to me at the end of the day. However, it didn't happen.
No more business with BigValueInc.com"
"Bigvalueinc sold me a used Canon 5D III then replaced it with another use camera, never denying the fact the 1st. one was used. They then blocked my account from making additional purchases and literally told me if I would revise my negative review they would exchange my camera! When that didn't happen they appear to be refusing to ship a replacement camera and just mentioned Refund in an email. SHIFTY, UNTRUSTWORTHY AND INCREDIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL....DON'T BE LURED IN BY THE PRICES! BUYER BEWARE...YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!"
"Less than a week after purchasing a new Canon 24-105 lens from BigValueInc the price was lowered by $50. I contacted customer service to see what they were willing to do and they refused to price match in any way. I communicated with them twice and they offered no solution so I won't be doing any business with them in the future."
"Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test"
"Does not even allow a contact for asking questions about listings on ebay. Very unprofessional!"
"I got a great deal on a Canon 5D Mark III. At first I was skeptical because it was considerably cheaper than any other retail store ( almost a $1000 markdown), but the item was perfect when it arrived. I have now used my camera for a couple of months, and have had no problems with it at all. Thank you!"
"Worst seller I saw in my life.please be aware of the seller.I would like to say my issue with the seller...
I ordered a Nikon D3200 camera body on 02/22/2013 and it was shipped ,after that I called the seller regarding the payment method and is there any chance that I can pay with different card through PayPal (earlier paid through PayPal ) then CSR manager named Regina (sorry if I am wrong spelled)told me that no way to changed the payment method unless if you want refund you can return the item back,before that I spoke to PayPal and asked for the solution for the payment they suggested that talk to seller and make arrangement with payment or if you want you can contact the bank if you don't want the transaction .So I decided to talk to seller,as I told seller not interested with my proposal,then I said ok no problem ,meanwhile I track the item it shows that item was requested return to seller ,I confused and contacted the seller ,she told me that we don't want to sell the item to you, so I asked her why you charged on my account then she said PayPal charged and once we got my item back we will refund your money ,So my question is if she requested the item back without my knowledge did I response for return shipment and why they hold my money ,do they have any right to hold my money ...help folks"
"Purchased a sony nex c3 camera. The camera was said to be brand new. The camera appeared to be new however there was some interesting things that made it not new. The camera did not have a owners manual, not flash adaptor in the kit and the camera had no body cap. Also the camera had the battery already installed in it and the date and time were set up and the shutter count was at 7 pics taken so that make me know the camera was not new as stated. I wrote customer service and have yet to receive a reply back but I am not happy regarding the service I got on this so far."
"Fast shipping, excellent services. I recommend this company to my friends. "
"fast shipping and good product"
"Would never buy from them again. First I asked if the camera 1DX came with a USA warranty. Their answer was yes. When I received the camera 6 days later (on their site it they have a map showing how many days to delivery. In my case it is 1) no warranty at all. Then I was told the refund would take 3-5 business days. After 2 phone calls to them the refund finally came on the 8th day. If I hadn't called, who knows when I would have gotten it. Buyer beware!"
"I purchased a Sony OSS 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 Lens from BigValue on eBay. It was a thoroughly satisfactory experience. The price was attractive. I had a question about the item and called them via the telephone number listed in their ad-prompt, satisfactory answer, no waiting. The lens arrived promptly, carefully packed. It was exactly as advertised. Highly recommended. "
"I enjoyed do business with this company, I have been back shopping on the site since I made my purchase looking for other bargains. This is a great place to shop."
