Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle.
See also: Pediatric myocarditis
Inflammation - heart muscle
Myocarditis is an uncommon disorder that is usually caused by viral, bacterial, or fungal infections that reach the heart.
Viral infections:
Bacterial infections:
Fungal infections:
When you have an infection, your immune system produces special cells that release chemicals to fight off disease. If the infection affects your heart, the disease-fighting cells enter the heart. However, the chemicals produced by an immune response can damage the heart muscle. As a result, the heart can become thick, swollen, and weak. This leads to symptoms of heart failure.
Other causes of myocarditis may include:
There may be no symptoms. Symptoms may be similar to the flu. If symptoms occur, they may include:
Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:
A physical examination may show no abnormalities, or may reveal the following:
Tests used to diagnosis myocarditis include:
Treatment is aimed at the cause of the problem, and may involve:
If the heart muscle is very weak, your health care provider will prescribe medicines to treat heart failure. Abnormal heart rhythms may require the use of additional medications, a pacemaker, or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. If a blood clot is in the heart chamber, you will also receive blood thinning medicine.
How well you do depends on the cause of the problem and your overall health. The outlook varies. Some people may recover completely. Others may have permanent heart failure.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of myocarditis, especially after a recent infection.
Seek immediate medical help if you have severe symptoms or have been diagnosed with myocarditis and have increased:
Promptly treating conditions that cause myocarditis may reduce the risk.

Clinical Law Programs at New England Law
Clinical courses are an integral part of a New England Law | Boston education. These programs allow students to put classroom learning into practice in a real-world setting. Along the way, students undertake rigorous legal and factual analysis and gain exposure to issues of policy and ethics that seldom arise in the classroom.
New England Law is a pioneer in combining a classroom component with each clinical program, an approach that enhances the educational value of the practical experience of field work. Most law school clinics also require a course in a related subject area as a prerequisite or co-requisite.
Students who have taken law clinics early on at New England Law often find that the experience has enriched their understanding of upper-level classroom courses. Clinical law programs may also augment their preparation for the bar examination while providing a boost to both their resumes and networking efforts. In addition, the clinical courses provide excellent opportunities to perform public service and public interest legal work.
In-House Clinics

All students are placed in the same or closely related agencies for these legal clinics.

- Administrative Law

What are the priorities for admission to the clinics?
- Students who will be in their last year of law school at the time the clinical course is to be offered; however, the clinic director retains discretion to reserve slots in clinical courses to ensure that a sufficient number of clinic slots remain open to students in their next-to-last hear. It is therefore possible that seniors may be wait-listed for certain legal clinics even if slots are awarded to students in their next-to-last year. Within the group of last year students, priority will be assigned as follows:
- Students who have not previously been admitted to a clinical program but who have applied for admission to one and have been excluded through a lottery or other selection process;
- All other students who have not previously completed a clinical program;
- All other students, with priority given to those who have completed the fewest clinical programs. Within each group in a-c above, students taking clinical component course at the same time they are taking the co-requisite will receive a higher priority than those students who have previously taken the prerequisite or co-requisite.
- Students who will be in their next-to-last year of law school at the time the clinical course is to be offered. Within this group, priority will be assigned in the same way as in 1 above.
- Other students, if eligible for the program offered.

How can I specialize in a certain area if I can't repeat clinics?
What are the general policies regarding clinics?
- Such work must be performed without compensation and must be adequately supervised to ensure that the student's activities comport with the highest achievable standards of professional responsibility and legal skill and that the student be made aware of the strengths and weaknesses of his or her performance and be given an opportunity to correct any deficiencies.
- Such work must be performed in conjunction with a classroom component, it must be related to the subject matter of the classroom exercises, and the work and classroom exercises must further a common educational purpose, as determined by the course instructor. If a clinical component requires periodic group meetings between the course instructor and all students in the clinic (at least five times during the semester), then a student who has already completed the classroom course may enroll in the clinic, provided that preference in admission be given to those students who are enrolled in the classroom course in the same semester in which they are enrolled in the clinic.
- Ordinarily, the law school will arrange the placements in which students will work for clinical credit. However, a student may arrange such a placement under the following conditions:
- The work must be performed in conjunction with a law school course for which clinical credit has been approved by the faculty, and in which the student will be enrolled while performing the work;
- The work which the student proposes to do must be substantially similar to work performed by students in placements ordinarily associated with the course, and the weekly time requirement must be the same;
- The placement must be subject to the same supervision requirements which apply to placements ordinarily associated with the course;
- The student must, at least one week before the first meeting of the course, submit to the director of clinical programs a proposal including a description of the placement, of the work the student proposes to do, and of the provisions made for supervision of the work. That proposal must be approved by the director of clinical programs and by the course instructor, and it will be approved if it conforms to the requirements set forth in this policy and if there is a place for the student in the course.
- If the proposal is approved, the student will receive the same number of clinical credits as would be received if the student were in a placement ordinarily associated with the course, unless the faculty has established a lesser number of credits for such an alternative placement.
- No student may take more than one (1) clinical course each semester. All clinical supervisors and students are subject to the approval of the clinical director.

面 by itself means "face", while 白 by itself means "white". How did these two words combine together to mean "interesting"?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Japanese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Japanese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
According to 語源由来辞典 ( http://gogen-allguide.com/o/omoshiroi.html ), 「面白い」 is originated from 「面白し」. 「面」 used to mean "a sight/view" (the source says the front of eyes) and 「白い」 used to mean "bright and clear." Then 「面白し」 later came to mean "a light/bright sight/view" and then later "a beautiful sight/view". It further came to mean "fun" or "comfortable", which represents a pleasant feeling.
For your information, "interesting" better translates to 「興味深い」 to be accurate although it is often roughly translated as 「面白い」. 「面白い」 has several meanings with different nuances.

XVI Olympic Winter Games
With seven medals, Canada equaled the previous team high set in Lake Placid in 1932, won medals in more sports than ever before (5), and had more top-eight finishes (21) in more sports (7) than previous teams.
Kerrin Lee-Gartner skied to victory over the demanding women's downhill course at Méribel, the first Canadian ever to win an Olympic downhill gold. With women's biathlon events making their debut at the Olympic Winter Games, Myriam Bédard brought home a bronze in the 15km event.
Then, the speed skaters took over. The women's short track 3000 m relay team skated away from the field for gold, Frédéric Blackburn took silver in the men's short track 1000 m, and followed it up two days later with another silver as part of the men's 5000 m relay team. On the last day of competition, the men's hockey team ended a 24-year absence from the medal podium with silver.
Canadian athletes added another 14 top-eight placings, five new best-ever finishes, and three medals in the freestyle aerials and curling demonstration events. Both demonstration events were subsequently admitted to the official program; freestyle aerials to start in 1994 and curling in 1998.
Olympic Oath (athletes): Surya Bonaly (figure skating)
Olympic Oath (officials): Pierre Bornat (alpine skiing)
Lighting Olympic Cauldron: Michel Platini
Official Opening: President François Mitterand

The perfect "carry everywhere" coin effect! Such a strong coin trick that EVERY magician should own! Few gimmicked coins are this amazing, this versatile and yet this simple to master.
With the Copper Silver Coins you can perform a variety of routines, including changing an English penny to an American half dollar and back again
And that's the basic routine: you show a half dollar in your right hand and an English penny in your left. Close both hands, and immediately open them again- the coins have SWITCHED PLACES- the half dollar is now in your right hand, and the English penny in your left!
EXCLUSIVE BONUS! Buy the Copper Silver Coins from MagicTricks.com, and Peter Monticup will share his personal routine with you, including teaching you how to change two half dollars into two English pennies just like you see him do in the demo above!
Use the Leather Coin Purse as a different way to switch the coins. Place the half dollar into the purse rather than into your palm or into a spectator's palm. Remove the half dollar from the purse, and it has turned into a copper English penny. Of course, it's the gimmicked coin that does the trick, but using it with the Leather Coin Purse gives you a different presentation for the effect.
Is it illegal to use real US coins to make magic tricks? According to the U.S. Treasury F.A.Q., the answer is- No. It is only illegal to alter a US coin with the intention of spending it as if it were a coin of a different value.From the official U.S. Treasury website: "Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who 'fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.' This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it [in a monetary transaction in trade for goods or services] to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent."

"Better than expected!"
By kristen grimm
Comments: The cross was higher quality than I was expecting. It was thicker and had more weight to it- not the lightweight silver plated stuff. The engraved name is beautiful too. Highly recommend and worth the price!
"Wall cross"
By Nolan
Comments: The cross looks nice. Speedy delivery and the gift received lots of compliments. I'd recommend this product

The bearded wonders of the band were reportedly once offered $1 million each to take a razor to their famous facial hair — we're glad they declined, ZZ Top just wouldn't be the same without them. One of the few rock bands that have maintained their original line-up for over 40 years, ZZ Top rocks with an unmistakable guitar flair that has been the staple of their music the entire way. Catch the band on the road on the concert tour with ZZ Top tickets from GoTickets.com!

Hopefully that's the spark we needed.

How Denver let Deltha O'Neal get away for peanuts will always be a mystery to me.
They haven't said anything about Perry. Orpheus landed on it, so that ain't good.

Make-up by MW Face
What is something most people don't know about you? I used to want to play soccer, but my high school track team's program was year round.
Hobbies and Interests: Dancing, sketching, personal shopping, sewing, and watching movies.
Favorite fan moment: Witnessing some of the fans calling the DG's out by name so they could throw the t-shirts their way during the t-shirt toss. It's great being able to interact so closely with the fans on game day. It truly makes this professional dance experience unlike any other.
Best part of being a Dynamo Girl: I have never danced so much and worked so hard to become a better dancer. The interaction that takes place with us and the fans is very rare for pro cheer teams but it makes the experience even better.
Favorite part of game: Hearing the fans sing: "Ole, ole ole ole. Ole, ole!"
Occupation: Dance Instructor
Favorite things about Houston: The weather (I hate the cold!), BBQ and mexican food.
Favorite place to visit: Caribbean Islands: Grenada, Barbados, Bahamas
Word that best describes you: Optimistic
Favorite Childhood Cartoon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Childhood nickname: Janna Janna Bofanna.
What made you audition for the team: I really like the style of dance the team possesses, and the bond the team has with Lu and each other.
Accomplishment are you proud of: Competing on a collegiate level in Track and Field.
Accomplishment you still hope to fufill: Open multiple dance studios.

What is your favorite city to explore on foot?
Upcoming TEDCity2.0 speaker Jeff Speck believes that "walkability" is what makes cities thrive. http://blog.ted.com/2013/09/09/the-most-walkable-cities-in-the-world/
Sep 14 2013: I think Rome has got to be the most amazing city to explore on foot... at every corner there is some incredible architecture, source of history and stories, great coffee and wonderful pizza and gelatti. And that's it in a nutshell. Love it :)Sep 13 2013: Charleston, South Carolina. It's small enough that you can walk everywhere, and it is the perfect combination of modern and historical. Charleston's only a short distance from the best beaches in the state, and has some of the best food and shopping!
Sep 13 2013: I was born in a town that is not far from Charleston. I love walking there too.
Kellon Zhang
Sep 16 2013: Tibet, very mystery place,

Alla Dunaeva
Sep 16 2013: Stockholm. I've been there several times and once managed to walk 17 km during a rainy day. It was still amazing!
- +2
Sep 16 2013: Oh my...17 km!! You are really an iron girl :-)
Alla Dunaeva
Sep 16 2013: I guess I am!
- +1
It was one of the longest routes I ever covered on foot:)Sep 17 2013: Wow. Walking is awesome. It's the best way to experience an environment. Good for you.Sep 14 2013: On foot, its got to be Florence, Italy, one of the world's most beautiful cities with history and great art seen on every street corner.Sep 14 2013: Boston. It is amazing seeing everything.Sep 14 2013: That would be Saint Augustine, Florida. one of the oldest cities in the United States. There are so many old building there since the time of the first Spanish settlements.
Sep 14 2013: Oooh, that is one of the ones that came to my mind.
It's just the right size to walk all over in a day's time.
The fact that it is by the water is a big plus!!!
Sep 14 2013: It really is a wonderful place. I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida, next to St. Augustine. I've spent a lot of time there, especially on the beach, surfing.
Gayle Albin
Sep 14 2013: I live near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tulsa has a very Art Deco feel to the downtown area. There are influences of Native American and the future as well. In my travels, I have enjoyed walking many downtown areas. Charlotte, NC is amazing, everywhere I went I met friendly and helpful people. New Orleans is always inviting and fun. Washington, D.C. has so many things to do for free, all the museums and government in the works! What I have noticed when I am away from home is how much more of other cities I can see in a short span of time. It's alot like thinking you will visit the zoo but it's always there and we don't have to go right now. Everyone should not only take the time to smell the flowers, but make the time to investigate interesting features of "HOME". Pretend you are out of town and see what your hometown has to offer!

Jackie Dack
Sep 14 2013: Can I choose two? Chicago or New Orleans...Sep 14 2013: Parts of Philadelphia are amazing to explore on foot, especially the historic Center City. I love walking down a brick sidewalk and finding something I'd never have seen while speeding by.
- +2
I love history, so it's amazing that within a few blocks near Washington Square, you can find the jaw-dropping museum & archives of the Mother Bethel Church: http://www.motherbethel.org/mus.php ... the house where the first carbonated soft drink was served in the US http://www.visitphilly.com/history/philadelphia/the-physick-house/ ... and an eternal flame that burns for the Unknown Soldier of the Revolutionary War http://www.ushistory.org/tour/tomb-of-the-unknown-soldier.htm
And all this stuff exists in working neighborhoods full of houses, stores and offices. In downtown Philly, most people walk to where they need to go, and it's fun to see the tourists and nerds mixing with busy people just going about their day!

Sep 14 2013: I loved a film and recommend it highly :

Sep 18 2013: Maybe an international City like Dubai where you have access to all different kind of food and culture

Maybe a small village those in Italy or Bokhara that you find original traditional food made by housewife
Laura Palmer
Sep 16 2013: Prague! We spent 5 days there in May and walked over 10 miles a day, every bit of it filled with wonderful people and views. I've been to many of the cities mentioned by other commenters and by far, Prague has been my favorite.

sirio blonna
Sep 16 2013: I think that every city has a reason to be explored on foot.
- +1
My personal experience regards Istanbul. I can ensure that walking into its neighborhoods ( Fener , Balat , Kadikoy ) it can feel a particular emotion , because there are many cultural and religious contraddictions, that makes it a city of thousand souls.Sep 16 2013: Siem Reap, Cambodia. Hands down! Between the night market and the ancient templed city of Angkor Wat, Siem Reap offers a barrage of S.E Asian culture, in a way that no other city in the region does, you will NOT be disappointed.Sep 16 2013: I agree with the idea that walking makes any city way more interesting. Though it is easier to walk aroud cities like New York, or Porto Alegre (Brasil) because they are easier than, say, San Francisco with all the hills and slopes - though New York can be complicated due to the amount of people walking in a hurry -, I've found fascinating places even in Bonn while getting lost. And San Francisco is worth the effort.Sep 16 2013: Any city I love exploring on foot as that's the best way of exploration to me .Sep 16 2013: Probably Edinburgh, because it has its own mountain in the middle with fantastic views over the city - great to see on foot.Sep 16 2013: What about Paris ?
wayne uejio
Sep 16 2013: Sounds trite, but love exploring the city I am in at the time and seeing the same places at different times of day/week. For example, the Financial District in NY is completely different on Saturday/Sunday to a weekday.Sep 16 2013: To me – it is the unknown city. I love to spread out the map and go.

judy nathan
Sep 16 2013: Walking around Florence is like time travelling. The city really was made for walking.Sep 16 2013: Tokyo...
- +1
Paul Lillebo
Sep 16 2013: I was going to campaign for Amsterdam, and I will: it's a great walking city, with its historical renaissance architecture.
- +1
But then I noticed that no one has mentioned Santa Fe and Taos, in New Mexico, US. These are the great art towns of the American west, associated with Georgia O'Keefe and her New York cohort. Mexican stucco architecture, and a journey back to the early 1900s.Sep 15 2013: I would say that it is either a tossup between Tokyo and Hong Kong. Both have their charms. Hong Kong is just an awesome walk. The city is covered in elevated foot paths, and subway tunnels, and there are foot tunnels connecting most of the subway stations, as well as places that the trains do not go.Sep 15 2013: Bratislava.
Little, funny sculptures on every corner. Beautiful, old buildings.
Apart from that - Balmora, Vivec and Leyawiin. The last three are cities in computer games, but I remember them as vividly as the first one. Yes. I know I'm a nerd.
Best wishes.
Sep 15 2013: Not fair Anna.......LOL
Jill Day
Sep 15 2013: Try Valencia, Spain during Fallas in February. 300 wonderful 'fallas' in every Barrio, papier mache statues the size of houses which are all burned to the ground on the last night. Chocolate and churros, fireworks and parades. A great street festival.Sep 15 2013: I love walking through any city or town to discover its hidden treasures: London, New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Accra, Paris, Vancouver, Windermere, Blackpool, Phoenix, Sucre, Claresholm, Dieppe, ... The key is not the city but the walking.
- +1
Sep 16 2013: yes! exactly!Sep 15 2013: Barcelona! Lovely to walk along the Medieval quarter in the centre of the city and discover the small, hidden squares and its narrow streets. Little bits of magnificent beauty. Incomparable.Sep 15 2013: Any smaller city in Canada.
Kingston, Ontario was the most recent.
Neat architecture, great restaurants and bakeries, friendly people, and no fear of finding myself in a place where I might feel unsafe.
Radds Radds
Sep 15 2013: I can relate to that. Was a long time ago but new orleans was fantastic, and great food too!Sep 15 2013: Florence and Venice are in Italy the best one... they're just made to walk around

alie arjaans
Sep 15 2013: Its only really been Sydney and San Francisco which I loved. A backpack, the hostel and walking the streets literally for four days..no not street walking....buses, trains, ferries, trams. I realised that the fog wasn't an effect in Ghostbusters. I met a gigolo in Macey's. Someone had told me about the cake. Music and sculpture in the park. Golden gate, the falling asleep at the wharves, in the parks.
- +1
Finding galleries everywhere, up alleyways, stairwells .....walking into a corner shop, up the stairs to a small white room with black leather lounges and sitting in a room full of Kandinsky?, bookshops. Fair dinkum Burritos at Sausalita?. Making a meal last all day. Seeing all the drawings of my favourite book of the Masters on the walls of the gallery, the size of the seagulls on the bay. Next time Haight Ashbury, Chinatown & lots more.
Diana Pham
Sep 15 2013: New Orleans. Weird, hole in the wall bars, 'magic' shops, street food, music, and just the people. Also, Barcelona, Spain is pretty awesome during the evening hours.

Sep 14 2013: A long way to go from America but relatively close to Australia, Hanoi in Vietnam is a fascinating place to walk around. Something new and interesting around ever corner and great food!

Sep 14 2013: haven't traveled much. Lived in Los Angeles for 10 years and really enjoyed walking and seeing the diverse, colorful neighborhoods.Sep 14 2013: I love New York! There is always something small or out of the ordinary that you can find around to enjoy!

Fritzie -
Sep 13 2013: I have been to neither, but I read this morning in This Big City that the residents of Copenhagen walk, on average, 52 minutes a day (though cycling is the main reason among those who do not walk much) and people in Barcelona walk on average 48 minutes per day.
- +1
Sep 13 2013: Thank you! The timing puts the walking in perspective. I'm curious about how much people walk in NYC and in Paris too.
Sep 13 2013: When I went to Paris thirty years ago, everyone advised me to use the subway, as it was so convenient.
Instead I walked everywhere. My only hop onto a train was when I went to see Versaille.
There may be less walking when public transportation is good and when cycling is convenient.
Yoka Feng
Sep 13 2013: Tibet in China and Hawaii in America. They are my dream touring destinations. Tibet is famous for its enigmatic natral beauty and power. Hawaii is for its romantic beach and customs.Sep 13 2013: Hana
- +1
When I was there the bank was open two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon three days a week and it was about six feet wide and twelve feet deep. It had a dutch door that doubles as a counter and 1 employee oh yes and you could also get your mail there. It was attached to the general store where you could get anything else. There was a small gas/repair station and a restaurant. That's it folks, what else could you possibly need? If there's a heaven on earth, it has to be real close to Hana, Maui.
So, what so special about Hana? It is 30 miles from anything. No police, No fire trucks, No ambulance, No traffic, No crime, No noise, No buses, No politics, No TV, No radio, No cable, No clubs, No crowds, No shopping centers, No McDonalds, No courts, No lawyers, No Semi-trucks, No Prostitutes, No Problems!
Just sunshine, beaches, waterfalls, tropical birds & animals, wild hogs & deer, wild fruit & flowers and the friendliest people in the world.
Nobody runs Hana, it just is! There are no rules.Sep 19 2013: San FranciscoSep 19 2013: I think one of the best.. is Venice.. it's my city.. you can explore it only by foot..Sep 19 2013: I grew up in London, England, and although there is plenty of public transport which you can use, some of my favourite memories from my teen years involve myself and my friends wondering aimlessly around London on foot, discovering how the different parts of Central London link up in ways you wouldn't expect or realise based on the tube map. For example, on the tube from Waterloo (next to the London Eye) to Convent Garden is fairly complicated because of how the tube lines are laid out, but walking doesn't take very long and it is quite a nice one. I'm now 17 and living in Portsmouth, England, which is also cool to explore on foot, as it is very flat! I enjoy the fact that you can walk from the Beach into the city centre in about 20 minutes and if you wouldn't even know the beach was there if you didn't just walk from it.Sep 19 2013: I've explored Pretoria on foot. Such a lovely city with many parks and gardens. Buildins have a blend of architectural styles like Neo-greek/Roman, Renaissance, Cape Dutch and Victorian.
In spring the flowers of the Jacaranda trees add splashes of deep lilac to the streets.
The pace in this city is slower than its neighbour, Johannesburg; so it is a better place to relax and let your hair down.
Lovely city.Sep 19 2013: i would like to explore bali, because you can walk around with perfect scenery.Sep 18 2013: Jamshedpur is a city in India, which anyone can explore by walking.It is a city where greenery is every where.This city is also known as the green city.Sep 17 2013: Toronto, Ontario, Canada is without question my favorite "walking" city. Toronto is a metropolis composed of many neighborhoods, each with its own distinct flavor. One can easily move from the fashion district along Queen St. to Chinatown, Greek Town, Kensington Market and onward throughout the city. The city is safe and clean. The many pubs and eaterys make urban trekking a pleasure. It's a great city for experienceing diversity, urban sophistication, and good 'ol Canadian hospitality.Sep 17 2013: Boston~Sep 16 2013: ParisSep 16 2013: ChicagoSep 16 2013: Probably Reykjavik. Its so colourful. Every block surprises you, there is something new on every left or right. The culture is so different and the people are so friendly.
Sep 16 2013: I would imagine that you walked it during the summer? Or perhaps spring or fall?
There are images of the aurora borealis over the city when you google the name......that must be some sight!!
Sep 17 2013: I was there during the summer. It was around mid-June. That's when they have the midnight sun.
The aurora nights are between October and February I guess. I wish to experience that soon!
But summer or winter, I'm sure Reykjavik is one of the most calm and beautiful capitals.
Sep 17 2013: I have always wanted to see the aurora lights.......maybe one day.
Enjoy your next visit!
And thank you for the reply.Sep 16 2013: Hangzhou,a Chinese city. The extraordinarily elegant people in Hangzhou,you can never see any other city in China as graceful and proud as Hangzhou. Need a peaceful heart to explore and absorb its tranquility.Sep 16 2013: Umm... Actually I have no ideas as I never have a chance yet to travel to other countries. Care to give any suggestion:-) ?Sep 16 2013: Lol,I haven't explored on foot in any city yet.But I think when u go to explore on foot with your lover,wherever is always the best place.:)Sep 13 2013: When I travel for business, I always plan a 1/2 to 3/4 of day to explore where I was on foot. Some places are easier than others. Probably Washington DC is the easiest with all of its parks, malls, and monuments all close together. Charleston, SC and New Orleans are also very easy to explore on foot. NYC is easy to walk , but it seemed there was a lot of distance between the things I wanted to see, so I spent more time walking than actually seeing the sights I wanted to see. Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, CA are walkable but they are long walks.

Kane's Kaila Jamerson needed two points entering Wednesday night's game with the Ridgway Lady Elkers to climb atop the Lady Wolves' all-time scoring list.
Ridgway boys basketball used a 17-0 second half run to pull away from the Kane Wolves en route to a 63-43 victory Wednesday night as part of Senior Night.
Kane had kept with the Elkers in the first half and trailed 34-30 entering the third quarter. The Elkers then scored 17 straight points to bulge the lead to 21 past the midpoint of the third quarter.
The Kane Wolves' wrestling team won all five matches contested on the mat during Tuesday match against Oswayo Valley in the Wolves' Den. The Wolves and the Green Wave each received four forfeits but the Wolves took care of business on the mat on their Senior Recognition dual match with the team from Shinglehouse.
JOHNSONBURG – Kane senior Kaila Jamerson wouldn't let the Lady Wolves lose to the Ramettes Monday night.
A series of six straight points by Jamerson would propel the Lady Wolves first into double overtime and then to a lead Kane would not relinquish as the Lady Wolves won 42-37 in double overtime over Johnsonburg Monday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
The Kane Wolves hung with the visiting Johnsonburg Rams for the first five minutes of Monday's game but the Rams exploded for a 40-8 finish to the first half to send them on their way to an 80-44 win.
Both teams struggled in the early going.
The Kane Lady Wolves' basketball team improved to 13-3 on the season with a win over Sheffield on Friday night in the Wolves' Den, but it wasn't easy. The visitors led for most of the first three quarters of the contest before Kane erased a big deficit in the third and converted six of six free throws in the final minute to seal the win.
The Kane Wolves boys' basketball team made the long trek to Curwensville on Wednesday night in a makeup game from early in the season. The trip was worth it as the varsity Wolves used big second and third quarters to propel them to a 63-45 win while Kane's junior varsity team won a thriller 34-33.
In my last adventure I was deep in the wilderness in southwestern Alaska. I had flown from Anchorage to a small village called King Salmon. From King Salmon I took a float plane into the heart of Katmai National Park where I would stay for the next two and a half days.
The two teams battled it out in two overtimes with the Rams eventually winning the contest by a score of 46-38.
The Kane Wolves' wrestling team hosted the Bradford Owls on Tuesday night but it was a short night for both teams as only four matches were decided on the mat. Kane won three of the four bouts wrestled, with all three coming via pin.

ISO Laksa Paste-Available Locally
Looking for suggestions for tasty Laksa paste available locally-which is why this post is here not on the main board.
Please don't tell me to 'try such and such a store'-I know the stores but haven't the patience or budget to try each and every brand on the shelves
re: miss.foodie
T&T carries it.
re: fmed
not all T & T carry the same products.
last i checked i didnt see them there. last prima taste i purchased iirc was at choices on west 4th. it was around 9-12 bucks each. = not great value.
i havent seen the prima taste product in my recent trips.
to date i've seen half a dozen packaging for curry laksa. most are just the 'paste'. they are priced betwenn 2.49-4.99. most of them are in richmond. i was at the grocery store besides happy date in richmond and saw a reasonable selection of ethnic asian products. including a rojak mix.
many stalls make their laksa broth with a herb/spice sachet(similar to a bouquet garni) pouch. that they flavor with chillies etc. . then add the coconut milk. some versions will add evaporated milk.
re: betterthanbourdain
I found that Prima Taste had the best "all-in-one" paste. I have seen it at T&T or Osaka in Richmond. I'll have a look again to make sure.
Usually I would buy any old paste and augment it with fresh herbs (laksa, mint, lime leaf, etc), galangal, and lemongrass. Season to taste with fish sauce and/or toasted belachan if you have it.
I augment fresh ingredients with any paste that I buy.
re: fmed
great idea. i do like the flavors you can add to the laksa paste. more akin to Bo's laksa. which is more sino thai laksa(laksa siam). i dont believe there is a one defacto great laksa broth. but instead enjoy the distinctiveness of each laksa on its own merit. therefore i dont like clouding the flavours by adding more to create a smargasboard of spice and herbs. the best laksa broth are often simpler. where the balance comes with the interplay of the ratio of ingredients. as oppose to the addition of more flavoring agents. like the candlenut has very subtle flavors but i think adds amazing depth to the broth and would be lost with the addition of more pronounced flavors. the more ingredients the more experiment and experience you would need to strike a good balance. although i love complex flavors, there are so many kinds of laksa and there is always one that can best reflect my current craving.
noticed that wiki has updated it's laksa content. it is a little more thorough and up to date, imho. mentioning katong laksa, thai laksa, laksam(pronounced lakseh in Kelantan) and indonesian laksa. Lakseh certainly is the most interesting noodle of the bunch. Eating it off a banana leaf with some fresh herbs(ulam) and with your hands. Fmed i think you would enjoy eating ulam given your penchant for fresh viet herbs like rau ram and banana flowers.
i still have a problem with the description of the noodle being used at vermicelli esp thin bee hoon as common. In actual fact the noodle i think they are describing is more like lai fun noodles. And perhaps the de facto noodle used in curry laksa, curry mee etc is an egg noodle thicker than chowmein noodle but thinner than shanghai noodles. It is eggy in flavor. the laifun type is the ones used in assam laksa.
the sambal(belacan based) and kalamansi juice would be the kicker that would make any curry laksa better, no doubt. darn it if i cant find time to some laksa for dinner. :-P
re: betterthanbourdain
Had a peak @ the Wikipedia Laksa page-people have been busy!
All kinds of great detailed info.
FWIW-gimme a decent Mee over any other kind of noodle.
re: miss.foodie
prima taste has a few products. i remember the local distributor had a booth at the food show about 4 years ago. they had cambodian, thai, burmese, malaysian bottled and packaged products.
prima tasts has ba kut teh, curry laksa, chilli crab, rendang, curry chicken, char kway teow, prawn mee, hainamese chicken rice etc etc. from my trip to the stores. NONE of them will carry all the prima taste products. maybe 3-6 of the prima taste items, depending on what they think will sell.
only the curry laksa(with a small pouch of dried shredded curry leaves) and hanainamese chicken rice i found to be worthwhile.
re: betterthanbourdain
Ran across an intriguing line of Laksa and other pastes (no flashy packaging just made in Singapore) @ Sieu Thi Wong Xin Market 747 Gore St., 604-688-8235
Haven't tried them yet but they did have the Kecap Manis I was after (it's run out all over town apparently) and an excellent selection of different herbs.
Well worth a stop if you're in the 'hood.
re: Sam Salmon
Sam - if you are ever out in Surrey, check out Hen Long. (It really is worth the trip).
re: flowbee
Finally tried the Tungsan paste as featured in Fmed's photo last night-outstanding product and very reasonably priced.
Picked it up from the friendly folks @ Sieu Thi Wong Xin Market 747 Gore St. I think I spotted it @ Chua A Asia Market
265 East Hastings Street as well.

Step 1: What you need to build your box
In a few thousand years we "might" have enough data to make a 5th grade educated guess.
That's one debate you don't want to start.
Not on instructables.
Unfortunately, whilst the other two mainly make you look foolish, denial of climate change is actually dangerous to humanity.
As well as observed rises in sea level, and observed increases in the rate of ice-cap melting and the observed reduction in glaciers globally and the observed increases in droughts, storms, tornadoes, floods etc, there is the looming spectre of global famines and shortages of drinkable water.
Sound like scaremongering? Read these articles and tell me GW isn't happening, then read this (and the linked articles) and tell me not to be worried.
"So for the period for which we have direct, reliable records, the Earth has warmed dramatically even though there has been no corresponding rise in any kind of solar activity."
Sarge I do not believe you have read the articles I linked to above. Please do so. Fox News is a remarkably unreliable source of scientific facts.
As for the other planets, try checking their relative distances, compared to the fluctuating diameter of the Sun.
And Venus... global warming's ultimate potential end.
As for the rest of your post; pure selfishness.
You may find this section most relevant.
It's free, friendly to new members, and all the admins are "proper" (i.e. published) scientists.
You can tell them I sent you if you want, or you can approach them cold, it's up to you.
And a side comment, recycling anything other than metal creates more pollution than making new items. Please don't recycle plastic, just stop buying it in the first place. The three R's are REDUCE, REUSE and then if that doesn't get it all Recycle what you can of the rest, not Recycle, Recycle and recycle some more.
Have a good day all.
Apart from those who simply deny the data, the whole scientific community now realises that the current period of warming is not simply coincidental with humans being on the planet, but that the warming is almost entirely anthropomorphic - the correlation between human activity, atmospheric gases and temperature is amazingly close."What we do may have an effect, but there isn't anywhere enough data to know for sure either way."
The temperature rises match our CO2 and other greenhouse gas outputs.
There is no other pattern-match.
Have you heard of Occam's Razor?
Ah-ha, there we see the peeping demon. The groups that tend to pretend GW is neither real nor anthropomorphic are also those groups who have difficulty admitting the facts of evolution.
This discussion was dead before you started it, sarge. Unless you'd like to ask your pastor to join in?
Haha, is your real name Cnut?
Let me know when your pastor has given you links to the "facts" you refer to.
Until then, I apologise to ricklay for attracting sarge89or and the other deniers of reality to these comments.

Even OLC is Unwilling to Say That These Techniques Comply with Geneva
Marty Lederman
An important article from Katherine Shrader of the Associated Press, putting some more of the pieces together. NEGROPONTE: That person may be questioned, but using the kinds of aggressive techniques, the tough techniques that the president was referring to the other day may be problematic because of the uncertainty that has been introduced by the current situation. So all these patriotic, professional agents are looking for is the kind of clarity to ensure that they will not be violating the law when they carry out these interrogations. WALLACE: But you're saying the full array of interrogation techniques that they've used in the past they might not use now? NEGROPONTE: At this particular point in time, that issue is up in the air. WALLACE: Since the Supreme Court said in June that these interrogations are now covered by the Geneva Conventions, have any CIA officers refused to carry out any interrogations? * * * * WALLACE: That has curtailed the kind of questioning that they have done. NEGROPONTE: There just simply hasn't been that kind of activity.]

Precisely. And this is nothing new: the administration has been trying to sell the same lies in order to conceal and justify their own WAR CRIMES from the start. Everything under discussion now was implicit in the administration's utterly corrupt "interpretation" of the Geneva Conventions issued by Bush in February 2002:
"3. Of course, our values as a nation, values that we share with many nations in
the world, call for us to treat detainees humanely, including those who are not
legally entitled to such treatment. Our nation has been and will continue to be
a strong supporter of Geneva and its principles. As a matter of policy, the
United States Armed Forces shall continue to treat detainees humanely and, to
the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a manner
consistent with the principles of Geneva.
"4. The United States will hold states, organizations, and individuals who gain
control of United States personnel responsible for treating such personnel
humanely and consistent with applicable law.
"5. I hereby reaffirm the order previously issued by the secretary of defense to
the United States Armed Forces requiring that the detainees be treated humanely
and, to the extent appropriate and consistent with military necessity, in a
manner consistent with the principles of Geneva."
George Bush (David Addington & Alberto Gonzales), memorandum for the Vice President, et al., HUMANE TREATMENT OF TALIBAN AND AL QAEDA DETAINEES, The White House (2002.02.07).
There was nothing unlcear about anything then, and there's nothing unclear about any of it now: "military necessity" does not and cannot justify the abuse of a defenseless prisoner -- what Bush really said in that memo was "we will obey Geneva except when we VIOLATE Geneva."
Note especially that the language of that memo presupposes the existence of a clear understanding of just exactly what the "principles of Geneva" are.
The truth is clear: Mr. Bush is a contemptible LIAR and a WAR CRIMINAL.
I second that commotion, Charles.
Marty, thank you for the tremendous work you've been doing on this issue. I salute you, sir.
The cited AP article says that McCain's bill would protect U.S. personnel from prosecution and civil suits, but that the CIA wants more, namely for Congress to "bless" the techniques at question. Apart from a warm and fuzzy feeling that a majority of members of Congress think that what one is doing complies with CA3 of the Geneva Conventions, are there any other benefits from such a blessing? In other words, I just don't see why Bush is being so rigid, apart, of course, from whatever political benefits he thinks he can achieve by looking tough, challenging McCain, and continuing to scare the public.
Sorry to post twice in a row and in effect thinking this through out loud, but I think I'm starting to figure this out. Is the "bless[ing]" the reporter referred to a legal one? That is, would the Supreme Court be harder pressed to overturn a new law if it not only amended U.S. law but also interpreted the Geneva Conventions? Gotta go watch the Webb/Allen debate on Meet the Press. Thanks for your time and thanks in advance for any responses to my comments.
The President's bill would make these techniques legal.
The Graham/Warner bill would leave them illegal, but strip the courts of jurisdiction to stop them.
I imagine a substantial number of career CIA agents don't want to be involved with breaking the law even if they are unlikely to be punished. The belief that the executive branch should execute the laws, not violate them, is not that unusual among its employees. As I understand, professional ethics doesn't allow a lawyer to issue a formal opinion saying "This is illegal, but it's OK to do it because you won't be punished", so these people aren't going to get the legal sign-offs they want either.
Also, the government would find itself hard-pushed to deal with leakers if it was breaking the law, because illegal government programmes cannot be properly classified.
Liberty Cat, thanks for the clarification. That makes sense. On the other hand, it's deplorable that neither Bush's camp nor McCain's will spell this out. Of course, between the condemnation they'd face and the political benefits they'd jeopardize, it's understandable. That leaves brave, principled, and intelligent observers like the posters and commentators here to explain what's really going on. I also understand politically the advantage Democrats see in staying out of the intra-Republican fray, but I'm disappointed in the lack of a Democratic leader. Webb didn't rise to the occasion this morning.
Joel has asked some good questions. The basic problem for the administration is that their fraudulent legal theory (hatched by David Addington and John Yoo in 2001) finally disintegrated in Hamdan.
So this is a salvage operation with two objects:
1) Reconstruct a plausible legal cover for the administration's on-going war crimes.
2) Prevent meaningful judicial review of the administration's policies and actions.
Now the bad news, as always, is that the fundamental purpose of all this is in fact to commit WAR CRIMES by policy.
The good news is that, as always, what the administration and the Republican majority in Congress thinks is lawful or constitutional, what they think the Supreme Court will swallow, and what the law actually says are three different things entirely. Since the only parts the administration and their supporters understand are their own self-serving frauds, the chance that anything they do will be legal is effectively zero.
What remains is the obligation of every rational human being on the planet to see to it that these congenital criminals are tried and convicted for their crimes.
No matter how long it takes.
I wonder if there are any publicly available documents in a thorough format, referenced and footnoted, describing the programs which the linked Katherine Schrader AP article described as fairly curtailed or in abeyance, pursuant to the 'timeout' forced by the Hamdan decision June 2006.Post a Comment
I would imagine such documents being developed in many agencies; certainly, Department of Justice, as various consultative groups contributed to defining the bounds of programs in existence for roughing up prisoners.
UCMJ traces its own concerns. But, I suspect there are other documents which are analogs of UCMJ, at other agencies.
What I would like congress to have at its disposal and to discuss publicly is a thorough history of these programs, which I suspect were fairly miniscule until the current pair of conflicts abroad addressing stateless terrorism networks yielded hundreds of detainees and multiplied, doubtless, hundredfold, the numbers of agents required to conduct brutal interrogations.
I would like some of these internal agency histories to see the light of day, in a format, for example, like the July 2006 letter about military commissions in a post-Hamdan-decision world written by "a group of constitutional law scholars and former government officials, writing in [their] individual capacities"; that letter was part of a process in which Dept of Justice had written Sen. Schumer to claim that [the Hamdan decision's invocation of Geneva common article 3] in DoJ's opinion "does not affect our analysis of the Terrorist Surveillance Program." The constitutional scholars'/ former government officials' letter is carefully referenced to precedents in Supreme Court law, UCMJ, legal website archives and the like; the standard thorough documenting technique used in briefs and technical papers.
I would like congress to compile a similarly thorough assessment of the programs that have been going on. Maybe it is a project for the Congressional Research Service.
Besides corporal abuse, I imagine pharmacologic methods are part of many interrogations. There was an era following the Korean 'UN police action' when some US government agencies were in the media saying chemically induced confessions would be the modality of choice in future interrogations; but little about this is in the news in our time.
These are difficult topics; congress has its opportunity now, for the first time to air them in the public forum.
Our host had work in OLC in a timeframe as I understand it, principally centered well after the then-president's involvement in a plea for mercy in a corporal punishment case in 2004 in Singapore. I wonder if at that time our host might have seen at OLC a library of related authorizations addressing US as well as international law in this field of corporeal abuse of prisoners.
It is known that some 'societies' continue with institutionalized corporeal mistreatment of prisoners; but it is creeping back into US 'society' as well; consider this article about a US city mayor who suggested in 2006 that his town council legalize battery upon prisoners who committed offenses such as the US teen who was caned for punishment in Singapore in 2004. The city attorney recommended the mayor abort his suggested ordinance as it is unconstitutional. I wonder if congress is contemplating caselaw developing toward permitting suggestions such as the linked one in the matter of the 'mayor.

President Obama made his proposal to hike the minimum wage a key theme of his State of the Union address, casting the idea as a sign of his commitment to helping the middle class. He argued that it's wrong for wage earners with two kids to be stuck below the poverty line. In addition to making the moral argument, though, Obama also pressed an economic case for lifting the minimum wage to $9 by 2015 from its current level of $7.25.
"This single step ... could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with more money in their pockets. And a whole lot of folks out there would probably need less help from government," Obama said.
House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, was quick to criticize the president's proposal. "When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it," he said.
Wade into the economic literature, and you're likely to find a less dramatic picture. Despite what politicians say, raising the minimum wage is neither a panacea for the ailing economy nor a big obstacle to a healthy labor market.
In the economic community, a debate has raged for decades over the minimum wage. Some experts contend that higher minimum wages actually hurt poor workers because they lead companies to hire fewer people. Others tout the economic benefits of bigger paychecks for workers.
Congress has approved increases to the federal minimum wage many times since the passage of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which established the minimum wage. But in "real" terms--how much your salary will buy you--the minimum wage is not at its peak.
(Changes in the federally mandated minimum wage over the last three decades. Source: Labor Department data)
Here's why the economic picture is so muddled. Consider two recent "studies of studies" on the effects of the minimum wage hike. The first, conducted by economists David Neumark and William Wascher in 2007, has already been cited by critics of the president's proposal to increase the federal minimum wage.
Neumark and Wascher reviewed previous research on the minimum wage and concluded that most studies since the early 1990s had shown that raising the minimum wage meant fewer jobs for low-skilled workers.
But in 2013, John Schmitt, a senior economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, reviewed literature—including Neumark and Wascher's research, making his a study of studies of studies—since 2000 and came to the opposite conclusion. "The weight of that evidence points to little or no employment response to modest increases in the minimum wage," he wrote. In other words, raising the minimum wage doesn't cost jobs. Nor does it spur job creation.
In fact, a key presidential adviser has examined the issue and argued that very point in a research paper written before he joined the administration. Alan Krueger, head of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, and his then-Princeton colleague David Card surveyed hundreds of fast-food restaurants in New Jersey and Pennsylvania to see whether a recent increase in New Jersey's minimum wage led to fewer jobs for workers in that state compared with their counterparts in neighboring Pennsylvania. Krueger and Card concluded there was no evidence that higher minimum wages reduced employment in a study that is still cited today.
There's no damning evidence on the other side. The general consensus among economists is that most increases in the minimum wage have very small, if any, effects on employment, explained Brad Hershbein, an economist at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research in Kalamazoo, Mich.
In the absence of a definitive economic answer to the question of raising the minimum wage, some argue it should be done simply because it's the morally right thing to do.
"It's good to do for fairness. I don't expect think anyone should expect … any effect one way or another on the rate of growth of the economy," said Gary Burtless, an economist at the Brookings Institution.
