This was our first all-inclusive vacation ever. We normally do cruises, but wanted to try something different.
ROOM: We booked in the Preferred Tower, in a junior suite ocean view. The view was spectacular, the room was extremely clean and gorgeous (and huge). Our balcony had both a jacuzzi tub in the room and one on the balcony. We did not use the one in the room but I did use the one outside twice. Very nice! The lighting in the room was beautiful. Someone put a lot of thought into the subtleties there. One caveat: the lighting in the bathroom could not be amped up, so if you are female (we are both guys, so no prob) you might want to bring along a lighted mirror. I saw more than one woman on the balcony applying makeup LOL. The bed was oh so comfortable and we had no issues with it being cleaned regularly. In fact, more than once we had to turn them away for turn down service, simply because we didn't feel like leaving the room and we know how to turn the covers down ourselves. Ha. My point is that we never felt neglected. The only reason I don't give this place five stars is that on the Secrets side in the Preferred Tower, there are some noise issues with the property next door. You will hear roosters and dogs barking at all hours. If you are supersensitive, you might not want to book in the preferred tower for this reason. Secrets cannot obviously control what is next door, but perhaps in the future the owners of the roosters and dogs will move away.
POOLS: Phenomenal in every way. We never went to the Now Amber side for pools, as everything we could possibly need was on the Secrets side. The ocean was just steps away. I know there have been complaints about vendors hanging out, and yes they were there, but one 'no thank you' is all it took and they left us alone. I quite liked the beach and the swimming area in the ocean as well as the pools. Plenty of shade if you want it, as they had lots of umbrellas. Plus there are large palm trees and little cabanas with fabric roofs.
SERVICE: Excellent in all areas. I cannot think of much more to say about this. Imagine excellent service and you get the idea of what we experienced. From lobby personnel to bars, to restaurants: all great. Omar, at the pool area, was our favorite server. I felt his enthusiasm for working at Secrets was genuine, and he did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable.
ENTERTAINMENT: Well...this is the one place that I believe could see some improvement. Therefore again...a reason I can't give it a full five stars. There really is not a lot going on after the pools close. There were a few musicians scheduled throughout the week that performed in the lobbies, but it was nothing to be thrilled about. I am sorry to say that the harpist and piano duo was the low point during our stay. I kept thinking they were warming up, but it was the actual performance. There was one folklorico dance presentation near the Himitsu and Tamarindo restaurants that we did not attend, so I cannot comment on that one. As for activities by the pool, it is the typical kind of thing you will see on cruise ships, and the staff does an outstanding job. Think things like Bingo or Pool Aerobics and you get the picture. David was one entertainment staffer that seemed to be everywhere, always with a smile. The others were equally engaging, but somehow everything I chose to participate in involved David. The femal staffer (sorry I didn't get her name) does an amazing aerobics class.
DINING: Food everywhere was very good to excellent. Barefoot Cafe, Market Cafe: Nice presentation and very tasty. It was not the same thing every day. They mixed it up a bit. Of course there were a few things you could get no matter what, like hamburgers and pizza. We loved Oceano and had dinner there twice. The decor is very understated and it is closest to the ocean. We saw a gorgeous sunset there one night. The food was top notch each time. I loved the Red Snapper entree, and the seafood tostadas were light, clean and fresh. Capers (on the Now Amber side) was also very good. It was nice to have a pasta choice during our stay, and we were not disappointed. Our favorite was Bordeaux on the Secrets side, and we also ate there twice. Service was phenomenal, and the food was perfection. Our favorite servers were Ezekiel and his assistant Antonio. They were oh so friendly and made the night that much more enjoyable. The one place that had us scratching our heads was Tamarindo. I love mexican food, but this was so gourmet-a-tized that it was practically unrecognizable as such. It was not bad, but just okay. Service was very good, but the decor was, to be frank...a little Disney. It felt very inauthentic, with a huge artificial bouganvillea in the center of the restaurant and unpleasant trite Mexican canned music. My spirits lifted when the mariachi band arrived, as I love mariachi...but even though all the other musicians were very good, the trumpet player was flat and ruined everything they were trying to do. Lastly, dinner at the Market Cafe (not a buffet in the evenings) was very good. I especially loved being able to eat outside in both Oceano and the Market Cafe. So overall...I say the food here is excellent and so is the service.
MISCELLEANEOUS: We were a little disappointed to find the 15 minute walk along the beach to the Boardwalk was really more like 30 minutes, and you must walk through some obstacles and deserted dilapidated areas to get there in extreme heat and humidity. In that respect, we felt a little 'hemmed-in" as you had to get a taxi to experience more of PV. This is not the fault of Secrets at all, but something I think should be shared. We did take an exciting tour to San Sebastian, a centuries old village high up in the hills, untouched by time. It was a magical experience, and our tour guide was informative, friendly, and helpful. We arranged this through Apple. It was the only tour we booked. The other one we really wanted to do was the dinner and show at Las Caletas via a boat ride. But since it was in the evening, and it rained practically every evening...we opted out.
THE ONE UH-OH MOMENT: There was an incident during one of the activities at the pool that was a little off-putting. To be blunt, it involved some comments by a staffer, said in fun...but very offensive and ostracizing. I walked away from it; it was reported to the Main Desk. This staffer immediately found me after the activity was over and apologized profusely, which I much appreciated. I felt his apology was sincere. He asked me to talk to his supervisor and so I did, at this request. This is where it felt very odd. I approached his supervisor, explained we had it all ironed out, and that his employee had apologized. This supervisor seemed frustrated that I was discussing it with him (but as I have said, the staffer asked me to do this) and all he would say is "What do you want me to do for you?" Well...I wanted nothing. I was not complaining, just following up as I had been asked, because I did not want the staffer to get into any trouble over it. This part of the incident was awkward and odd.
BOTTOM LINE: If you like all-inclusives, this place is practically perfect. Just be aware that the entertainment after 6PM is a little on the light side, and you might do well to take a cab into town for something more.

"Great design; fits well with the invitation and response cards. Love that the purple/green option has a nice balance between the two colors. Nice thick paper - makes me want to buy a quill and a pot of ink :)"
"Worked with helpful staff for change to landscape photo and my wedding colors Printed exactly as requested Great customer service"
"This card is definitely 'clean' and classy. The design and color is a sophisticated in person as it is online. I used the same theme for my wedding invites, menus,place cards, etc...and we received many, many compliments. The only negative is that the was not an indentation to easily fold the card, so it creates a faint wrinkle and is a little inconvenient."
"We had the card colour inverted, so it was a white card with black writing...just the same as the invites for this line. This produced a very nice product and we were really happy with the Thank You cards. They are very whimsical, simple yet gorgeous."
"the card is very elegant, and the great thing is that you could never have TOO many thank you cards!! the quality is great, although the thermography is kinda faint. I ordered my invitations from another site, and i kinda like those a bit better. but these are still super nice. very elegant and look forward to sending them out"

Fresh approach to property management
Eos is a multi-family real estate management group loaded with young, talented and energetic individuals that understand the value of experience but are not afraid to challenge the traditional thought process. The management business has changed and it will never be the same. Information must be reliable and at our very finger tips ( or at least as close as our Ipad) in an instant. Decisions must be made quickly without taking counsel of our fears and with a willingness to use technology to our benefit but not just because it is in vogue.
In Greek mythology the goddess Eos brought each new day to being and we are proud of our people who help do that for our clients.

This was fun! Only mistake we made was missing that the park only opens to non-residents at noon, not 11. The main graduated pool was a bit crowded but otherwise my kids and I spent most of the day in the lazy river. There is food to buy there and adult swim for the last 10 minutes of every hour. We were there when it opened of course and had no problems getting lounge chairs. The guards were very attentive and locker rooms were acceptable (not high grade but not the worst we've seen). It was a very fun 4 or 5 hours and an easy drive from southern MD. Highly recommend!

Washington Prowler
Wlady's Corner(March 31 - April 6, 2003)
Archived postings.
Live at Eleven (posted 4/4/03 2:02 a.m.)
Is there a more hopeless institution than the 11 o'clock evening news? Apart from "your" weather, "your" sports, "your" weekend, and other news "you" must use, it offers next to no news that matters -- yet still manages to be an unthinking font of bias. Too much niceness and your critical facilities turn to mush, apparently.
In the DC area, if I watch it'll be the local ABC affiliate, mainly because it comes in best on the tiny black and white TV next to my computer. Some months back it did a special report on Johnnie Cochran and the new cause that had brought him to Washington: slavery reparations. My, was it respectful. After the segment the entire Channel 7 crew, including anchor Kathleen Matthews, wife of Hardballer Chris Matthews, exchanged comments of deep concern and respect for Cochran's new cause.
A few hours ago the program highlighted the return of a pacifist from Baghdad. It interviewed the feisty woman, and showed her in deep prayer at Dulles airport in a circle of pacifist friends who had come to greet her on her return. Think this same channel will ever show football players at prayer, say, during one of the many games it televises? The woman expressed concern for her friends back in Baghdad. She expressed open disdain for U.S. policy. No one asked her if Saddam's regime maybe deserves overthrowing. That would have been impolite, and let's not complicate things. But just so you know, the pacifist insisted on not being called a "human shield." She's a "human being," that's all.
To be honest, though, she didn't seem too upset about being back. Clearly she seemed in better shape than an actual shield who told his story in last Sunday's New York Times Magazine. "I went all the way to Baghdad, hoping to help, but in the end I was too scared to stay," the kicker line reads. The fellow was 68, a Brit, and was put up at a power station, with 15 sundry shields in his dorm. The thudding from the power station seemed to unnerve him. As he explained, "I'm literally a bit of a punch-drunk boxer, having been banged about the head when I was young, so I don't even like the radio on loud in the background." It was downhill from there, and soon he would take his leave, remembering all the family he'd left behind in the U.K. Mind you, as a "universalist" he believes everyone will be saved in the end, "even Donald Rumsfeld." He just wasn't ready to die yet. Can't say I blame him.
The Two-Week Anniversary (posted 4/3/03 1:11 a.m.)
Two weeks into the war and the nation's jitters are behind us. Above all there seems to be a clear sense that Saddam's regime is worth toppling. Even ABC News seems to agree, or at least its "Nightline" show does. I just caught the tail end of its interview with one of the Newsday reporters recently released after eight days of imprisonment. He described the unspeakable beatings and tortures he and his colleagues heard and apparently saw performed in Saddam's most horrid prison. Which brings to mind the Stalin-WWII analogy we've heard so much about of late, namely that a populace would rise against an invader even if that meant defending the totalitarian ruler. The analogy is laughable on its face. For one thing, Stalin was known to release prisoners in order to involve them in defense of Mother Russia. Saddam seems to have responded by ordering news rounds of beatings in the prisons.
Of course, that's unfair to Saddam who apparently is as dead as Osama bin Laden these days, if more freshly so. Which raises the question: Who's running the headless regime? Who and what are we going to overthrow? Saddam's system still seems to be functioning on its own momentum, but for how long? How many more bullets and bombs can it absorb before it crumbles into many tiny pieces?
The recent hyped up rift between military and civilian sectors over flaws in the initial war plans is almost beside the point at this stage. The bigger worry has to be what winning will represent, and one suspects that's when the military will really be left holding the bag, no matter how many extra men it has in the field. One can almost foresee a flood of requests begging for transfer to a stable place like Afghanistan.
Administration critics made much of the Turkish parliament's rejection of U.S. requests to use Turkey as a staging ground for our troops. Indeed, our inability to use Turkey in this manner is said to have slowed our advance on Baghdad. But could the Turkish rejection have been a blessing in disguise? By not playing ball with us, Turkey ended up with no leverage regarding its intentions to intervene against the Kurds in northern Iraq. That's one less big problem for the U.S. to worry about. Meanwhile, the Kurds and American forces appear to be working very well together.
Have you noticed this war has produced no Norman Schwarzkopf? Tommy Franks is almost hard to notice, by comparison. In media terms he's been overshadowed by Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He's an American type straight out of central casting, as honest in his appearance as a boy scout, well-mannered and well-spoken and as tough and solid as he needs to be even while coming across as cornpone kind and the most decent of men. And if you saw him on Meet the Press last Sunday you know he's disarmingly smart. Next to him Donald Rumsfeld fades into the background, which must make many people happy.
Another Arnett Coup (posted 4/2/03 1:44 a.m.)
Peter Arnett's charmed bottom-feeding life continues. He's landed top interviews with the likes of Saddam, and he's been landed as a top interview by Saddam's goons. Forgotten in the current scandal was Arnett's playing useful idiot to America's leading anti-American, Ramsey Clark. In the run-up to the current war, Clark was part of the ANSWER crowd. In his spare time he's trying to get President Bush impeached. This is the same Clark who in 1999 struggled to keep Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic in power. It was on January 22 of that year that our Reid Collins filed this report (for our previous website) about Clark and the interview he gave Arnett in 1991, back when both Arnett and Collins worked for CNN:
"During the (1991) Gulf War, Ramsey Clark was much in evidence in Baghdad, criticizing Bush administration policy and U.S. military action. He was escorted to Basra, a recent target of allied air forces, and once back in Baghdad was rushed onto the air by CNN's Peter Arnett. This reporter was anchoring in Washington at the time and watched in consternation as Arnett held the microphone and Clark launched into the accusation that the United States had bombed only civilian targets in Basra, ignoring the several military headquarters housed there. He added that the military headquarters were housed in civilian buildings also.
"Since Arnett seemed disinclined to ask, I interjected. How did Clark know that only civilian targets were hit if the military and civilian areas were all alike? Had he seen any identifiable military targets that had been left unscathed during his brief guided tour?
"Clark exploded, accusing this auditor of not hearing what he had said. I explained I had heard him 'precisely.'
"Now, how did he know?
"CNN producers in Atlanta, unaccustomed apparently to hearing a challenge to unsupported anti-Americanism in the middle of a war, bade this interview end pronto, which it did. Arnett had not wavered from his role as a silent portable microphone stand for Clark."
Handsome Johnny (posted 4/2/03 2:23 a.m.)
Here's news we couldn't live without. Reader Kim Benabib informs as that the Raleigh News & Observer is reporting that Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina raised $7.4 million or so in the first quarter of 2003, which may be more than even John Kerry managed to accumulate. The importance of this story seems to be that Edwards rushed to get his totals into the news, ahead of rivals who are still calculating their quarterly takes. Also, Edwards' amount almost matches the $7.6 million that George W. Bush raised in the first quarter of 1999. Is this a sign of Edwards' inevitability? The problem with this scenario is that Bush at the time wasn't plagued by low approval numbers of the sort that Edwards now receives from voters of his own state.
Life Can Be a Dream (posted 4/1/03 1:10 a.m.)
It was early yesterday morning, and perhaps I was still dreaming. But over the radio I think I heard expressions of deep concern bordering on genuine affection for our fighting men in Iraq. Now this wasn't some right-wing talk show. Not at 7:00 a.m. It was NPR's morning show. Again, to repeat, I might have been dreaming. But something tells me I wasn't. Most dreams you forget before they're even over. But not this time.
Is wartime changing our landscape? Sunday's New York Times "Sunday Styles" section ran this front page piece: "Surprise, Mom: I'm Against Abortion." The subhead: "Parents expecting young people to take the liberal view, as in the past, learn otherwise." The straightforward report doesn't even sound alarmed. A Berkeley expert is quoted: "Abortion rights isn't a rights issue -- it's become for increasing numbers of young people a moral, ethical issue." The main finding: "teenagers and college-age Americans are more conservative about abortion rights than their counterparts of a generation ago." The term "pro-life" appears in abundance. Young opponents even use liberalism against itself: the piece quotes A Boston College student who calls herself a "survivor of abortion" because she was adopted. On top of everything else, yesterday's Times ran not a single angry letter to the editor about this stunning departure from orthodoxy. In peacetime, reader mood surely would have been more vigilant.
If you didn't have time to catch your breath after last weekend NCAA regionals, blame the blameful Bud Selig who for the first time in the history of Western civilization had major league baseball open its season in snowy March. Already the premature start has backfired. The Yankees' star shortstop is out for who knows how long with a busted shoulder, thanks to a (literally) crushing blow from a catcher at third base in Toronto. The other New York team trotted out its key free-agent acquisition as opening day pitcher, and he got bombed worse than the guy who pitched batting practice. Then there are the Boston Red Sox, Blue America's team. They looked great, until the ninth when the other guys scored 5 times to beat them 6-4. March wasn't even over, and for insufferable, long-suffering Red Sox fans it was already a very long year.
Baseball can wait. Next weekend's basketball NCAA's should take priority. Go Kansas, Syracuse, Texas, and Marquette, in that order. Why so rough on the Cinderfellas from Milwaukee? Because they call themselves "Golden Eagles." Back when Al McGuire was Marquette's coach, they were "Warriors." Maybe they should switch back to their real name this weekend. Surely NPR and the New York Times wouldn't complain. If we're not a warrior nation, what are we?
Arnett Arnold (posted 3/31/03 1:57 a.m.)
Now we know why the U.S. military hasn't put Iraqi TV out of commission. It was setting a trap for the lowly Peter Arnett, who decided if he was going to be embedded in this war it would be on the side of Saddam's regime. He's given the performance of a lifetime, the sort that gets even David Bonior and Sean Penn (though not Jim McDermott) off the hook. Howard Kurtz seems almost horrified in reporting the story. But he gets a gem of a quote from an NBC spokeswoman, who said of her network's stringer that "his impromptu interview with Iraqi TV was done as a professional courtesy." Some courtesy. The only thing he didn't do is arrive at the studio bearing flowers and candy. Plus he was talking big, scoffing at the American side's refusal to heed his advice about the "determination of the Iraqi forces." As he put it with slurred tongue, "But me, and others who felt the same way, were not listened to by the Bush administration." In happier times -- the 1991 Gulf War, to be precise -- Arnett landed an interview with Saddam Hussein. No word yet why he hasn't interviewed him anew. Is there a ghost of a chance he might?

David Cameron has joined a host of international leaders in congratulating Barack Obama on his election victory over Mitt Romney.
The British prime minister, speaking from Jordan on the final day of a three-day visit to the Middle East, had been careful to reserve his views in case of a win for the Republican challenger.
But once Romney had given his concession speech, Cameron took to Twitter to offer "warm congratulations to my friend".
"I have really enjoyed working with him over the last few years and I look forward to working with him again over the next four years," the prime minister said later.
"There are so many things that we need to do: we need to kick start the world economy and I want to see an EU-US trade deal."
Cameron said he had been hearing "appalling stories" about the situation in Syria during his visit to Jordan.
He said one of his first priorities in resuming his relationship with Obama would be to discuss "how we must do more to try and solve this crisis".
The prime minister added: "Above all, congratulations to Barack. I've enjoyed working with him, I think he's a very successful US president and I look forward to working with him in the future."
Pundits had continued to predict a Romney victory until polling closed yesterday, but enthusiastic voting among Hispanic Americans and an effective get-out-the-vote campaign by Democrat supporters helped push Obama over the line in a series of crunch swing states.
Obama's ability to stay in office despite a struggling economy may also prove heartening to the coalition, which is unlikely to be presiding over a booming economy when Britain's own general election arrives in May 2015.
American politics will now focus on a period of rebuilding for the Republicans, as Obama renews a bipartisan push which he said in his victory speech was aimed at meeting "the challenges we can only solve together".
"With your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead," the re-elected president told Democrat supporters in Chicago this morning.
"Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual. You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours."

Characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing isolates from the Mediterranean area

BMC Microbiology 2010, 10:151 doi:10.1186/1471-2180-10-151Published: 25 May 2010
The Beijing lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is causing concern due to its global distribution and its involvement in severe outbreaks. Studies focused on this lineage are mainly restricted to geographical settings where its prevalence is high, whereas those in other areas are scarce. In this study, we analyze Beijing isolates in the Mediterranean area, where this lineage is not prevalent and is mainly associated with immigrant cases.
Only 1% (N = 26) of the isolates from two population-based studies in Spain corresponded to Beijing strains, most of which were pan-susceptible and from Peruvian and Ecuadorian patients. Restriction fragment length polymorphism typing with the insertion sequence IS6110 identified three small clusters (2-3 cases). Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat typing (MIRU-15) offered low discriminatory power, requiring the introduction of five additional loci. A selection of the Beijing isolates identified in the Spanish sample, together with a sample of Beijing strains from Italy, to broaden the analysis context in the Mediterranean area, were assayed in an infection model with THP-1 cells. A wide range of intracellular growth rates was observed with only two isolates showing an increased intracellular replication, in both cases associated with contained production of TNF-α. No correlation was observed between virulence and the Beijing phylogenetic group, clustered/orphan status, or resistance. The Beijing strain responsible for extensive spread on Gran Canaria Island was also identified in Madrid, but did not lead to secondary cases and did not show high infectivity in the infection model.
The Beijing lineage in our area is a non-homogeneous family, with only certain highly virulent representatives. The specific characterization of Beijing isolates in different settings could help us to accurately identify the virulent representatives before making general assumptions about this lineage.

Issues for Consideration in the Development of an Acoustical Design System Supporting Interactive Auralization
This paper is an examination of the issues involved in the design of systems facilitating interactive auralization over packet-switched networks. Consideration is given to the design compromises made in the three major system components-room simulation, sound field auralization, and audio networking-with respect to the effective balance between realistic acoustic rendering and user interactivity. Particular attention has been given to the effects of audio compression on virtual image localization. Effective networking of auralization signals allows enhanced group work in collaborative design efforts.

1. In the winter, they cannot be escaped…
You are bound to them, or bound to goosebumps.
2. As soon as you put them on, they try to will you into submission.
NOW YOU'RE MINE, they whisper silkily.
3. Slowly, they start to terrorize your legs with itchiness.
I want to scrape off my entire upper epidermic layer.
4. Especially around the lady bits, which they know is your weakest spot.
You can't scratch in public and you can't run into the bathroom every five minutes. You're defenseless.
5. Then, they start constricting your bladder, making you want to pee ALL THE TIME.
There is no earthly torture greater than this.
6. Next, they go for your internal organs, suffocating you slowly.
7. With every step you take, they shift for maximum discomfort.
8. They drain your bank account.
9. And yet they tear on the first wear just to spite you.
A tiny hole appears and, like a herpes outbreak, it spreads quickly and unavoidably.
10. They even use your own humanity against you.
Now you look like a hot mess, but what can you do? Take them off? Nope. You're trapped.
11. The crazy math chart on the package is a lie. There is no right size.
12. And it's not like you can tell how long they are by taking them out of the package because they always look like they're made for Ooompa Loompahs.
13. They either cut off your blood circulation altogether.
14. Or droop and laugh silently as you desperately pull them up over and over again.
15. Thought you'd cheat the system with thigh-highs? Think again.
The stick-ons don't stick. The back straps require intense flexibility. They're always one step ahead of you.
16. What about fishnet stockings you say? A net of misery.
They contradict the entire woeful establishment.
17. The store is always suspiciously "out of black," so sometimes you settle for colored ones and look like a tool.
18. Or wear nude which is, as the name suggests, basically like being naked but with all the aforementioned problems.
19. But even in opaque, they quietly pull up your skirt to reveal your butt to the world's mockery.
Makes you miss pants real bad.
20. And after all this suffering, you're still fucking freezing.
Because they are made out of nothing and nothing.
21. The only good part of wearing tights is coming home and ripping them off!
But by then, they have taken a part of your soul with them.

24 July 2015 - The Korea Airports Corporation (KAC) and the Korea Red Cross (KRC) awarded 50 multicultural families of mixed Filipino-Korean heritage free air tickets to visit the Philippines as part of an eight-year-old humanitarian program to foster better appreciation for the home countries of the Filipino parent.
In the departure ceremony for the "Beautiful Flight" program held at Gimpo International Airport on July 20, KAC President Kim Seok-ki remarked that the KAC and the KRC had worked closely in organizing this homecoming trip for selected Filipino marriage migrants and their families to the Philippines.
President Kim also expressed hope that this trip would provide an opportunity for the marriage migrants to reconnect with their families and for their Korean spouses and children to gain a wider understanding of the Philippines and its culture.
In a separate speech, KRC Vice President Kim Seon-hyang gave assurances that her organization would continue to exert effort to ensure the successful settlement of multicultural families in Korea.
Representing the Philippine Embassy, First Secretary and Consul General Iric C. Arribas thanked KAC and KRC for sponsoring the program and expressed hope that the homecoming trip would provide an opportunity for families of marriage migrants to appreciate the beauty of Philippines and its culture and for Korean spouses to understand their wives' thinking, family and culture.
Since its inception in 2010, the "Multicultural Families Sponsorship Program for Visiting Homeland" has been a resounding success in enabling marriage migrants to orient their Korean spouses and children about their home countries and to foster understanding and harmonious relations among members of multicultural families.
To date, 2,375 individuals from 647 multicultural families of such diverse origins as Cambodia, China, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, have been beneficiaries of this homecoming program. At present, there are approximately 760,000 multicultural families in Korea. END

Join the popular veterinarian and author Nick Trout as he talks about his newest novel, " Dog Gone, Back Soon," at Thornton W. Burgess Society's Green Briar Nature Center, 6 Discovery Hill Road (off Route 6A) in East Sandwich on Thursday, July 24 at 7 p.m.
"Dog Gone, Back Soon" is the story of veterinarian pathologist Dr. Cyrus Mills, who inherits his estranged father's veterinary practice in Vermont. The previously reclusive Mills finds that he actually enjoys treating animals and getting to know the eccentric residents of the tiny provincial town -- especially an alluring waitress named Amy.
He discovers that making the practice thrive is not an easy goal, however, given that a national veterinary chain across town will stop at nothing to crush its mom-and-pop competitor. And the rival vet practice isn't Cyrus' only competition: a handsome stranger shows up out of nowhere who clearly has a mysterious past with Amy. To top it off, Cyrus finds himself both the guardian of a very unique orphaned dog and smack in the middle of serious small-town drama.
This charming sequel to "The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs" brims with Trout's trademark humor, charm, and captivating animal stories; it is proof that all dogs, lost or not, on four feet or two, deserve a second chance.

wildly popular phones the world has ever seen, while Windows 7 is well on its way to becoming the globe's most ubiquitous OS. So compatibility between the two would be kinda sorta important, right? Tell that to Intel's quality control team who seem to have somehow missed an issue between Apple's app carrier deluxe and the P55 Express chipset's USB controller. Consistent (and persistent) syncing issues have been reported on Apple's support forums, wherein iTunes on Windows 7 machines recognizes the iPhone, but spits out an "error 0xE8000065" message whenever the user attempts to sync. While some have found limited success with using PCI-based USB cards (and bypassing the chipset), this is clearly a major issue and something Apple would expect to be fixed before shipping its Core i5 / i7 iMacs, which are likely to sport the chipset. Hit the read link for the original thread of sorrow and regret, and do chime in with your own experience in the comments.

Why does hydrogen peroxide foam when you put it on a cut?
It certainly doesn't bubble up at the drugstore, and it's kind of a snooze if you pour it on skin that doesn't have a cut on it. So, what is it about blood that makes hydrogen peroxide start foaming at the mouth?

Message from President Rod Morrison
Welcome to the Alaska Association for Secondary School Principals! I am Rod Morrison, principal at George H. Gilson Middle School in Valdez, Alaska and your AASSP president for the upcoming school year. Our organization is rich in tradition in that we provide professional development in the area of leadership, networking and an avenue for your voice at the state and national level. However, we know that we must change with the winds of education and support your leadership efforts as you continue to work with a more diverse population of students, as you assist in helping students attain both content and employability skills and as you encourage students to be caring and productive adults who give back to our Alaska communities.
We strongly believe that by supporting Alaska principals, who in turn support Alaska teachers, Alaska students will be successful. In these difficult times, an AASSP member is only a phone call, email or away! No matter the size, demographics or location of your school, I encourage you to become a member of AASSP to be a part of new traditions.
This is going to be a great year. We will continue to move AASSP forward and continue to support educators and students. If you have any questions, comments or concerns you can contact any of the state officers' that are listed on the AASSP website. Have a great year and we hope to see in you in Anchorage at our 49th Annual Principals' Conference on October 18-20, 2015.
Best wishes for a successful school year!

This hotel was perfect for our first visit to Cape May. Although we thought the price was high, it was a lot less than most of the hotels in the area. Also, as a guest of this hotel you are given a 30% discount at the restaurant (The Mad Batter) in the same building, so therefore it's a pretty good value.
Our room was small but it met our needs because we were hardly in the room. More importantly, it was clean and had a private bath. The hotel is old, the floors are a little crooked, the aisles are narrow and the steps are steep but that is what gives Cape May its historic atmosphere. This hotel would be difficult for someone who cannot walk up and down steps. The location of the hotel was great; just a half block from the beach and about one block from the Pedestrian Mall (Washington St.).
The staff is efficient and friendly and would stay again on our next visit.

John Cassavetes' devastating drama details the emotional breakdown of a suburban housewife and her family's struggle to save her from herself. This is one of the benchmark films of American independent cinema—a heroic document from a true maverick director.
one woman show. exhausting film
[Mabel is not crazy, she's unusual]
Great actors, great everything.
"Come on. Come and die for Mr. Jensen."
A terrifyingly real, dissonant duet between two of the most disturbingly sick yet recognizable characters ever. Despite coming in at an absurd running time, the film is infused with a sense of dread and anxiety that never lets up. Captures the maddening inscrutability that makes complex domestic problems so hard to solve. Messy and imperfect (would you really prefer the alternative?), but unforgettable.
madness. powerfully acted by gena rowlands and powerfully directed by her husband.
Rowlands is a POWERHOUSE! This one haunts me. It hits close to home. No other actress could have done this role like Rowlands. It is perfection. Painful. Profound. One of the hardest films to watch in cinema. An experience you will NEVER forget.
a real record of a toxic cycle.
How he finds the perfect dosage of vigour and tenderness in Gena Rowlands, one would have to ask Cassavetes himself. Exit, in pitch perfect music cue as always.
Truly heartbreaking to all my senses. Beautiful.
Gena Rowlands gives a powerhouse of a performance in a film that paved the way for New Hollywood.
the best education a boy could get!
The consequeces of merely being a mother and a wife. a lack of identity that is unsustainable, a burst from the unbelievable pressure to be just what her husband wanted her to be.
It takes courage and trust for a director to let a performance carry a film this way without compromising the plot. Rowland gives the most devastating interpretation ever captured in film and Cassavetes uses that power to assemble the most vivid representation of marriage. A Woman Under The Influence might be rude, heavy and unapologetic but it carries every component that makes cinema such a special expression.
An excellent piece of psychological film-making. Truly, excellent. The character depth and emotional subtleties portrayed in this film are profound..
A review: https://aestheticsofthemind.wordpress.com/2015/05/28/a-woman-under-the-influence-cassavetes-1974/ 88/100
Sheer emotion. Acting masterclass
extraordinary acting.
Gena Rowlands: the best ever performance in film history. No discussion!

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES - We are a bewildered bunch these days. Giddy, but confused. Raucous, yet reticent.
You may have seen us recently out and about on Figueroa Street, trying to preen like peacocks. However, we've still got that peripheral jitterbug of traffic-addled pigeon ingrained in our stride and entrenched in our souls. The Fatal Fender of Fate surely must be around the next corner. Right?
We are Los Angeles Clippers fans, and frankly, this is weird. Bizarro world weird. People are actually envious of us.
The strike-shortened season is young, and the Clippers' record is only middling (3-2 at press time), but everything is different.
We're the long-before-the-bandwagon bunch. I've been paying for season tickets since 1996, when the Clippers played at the mausoleum known as the L.A. Sports Arena. Since Staples Center opened in 1999 I've sat with a slew of cellmates - make that season ticket holders, in Section 113. The usual quicksand we slog through has been miraculously swapped out for fluffy clouds of optimism. Gone are the days of "Wait 'til next decade!" Better yet, Jay Leno has to search elsewhere for a punch line.
Somebody get Police Chief Charlie Beck on the horn, because there has been a robbery: The Clippers have stolen the Los Angeles Lakers' thunder, their neon, their headlines and their supposed savior - Chris Paul. Sure, it took some aiding and abetting from NBA Commissioner David Stern, but lo and behold, the Clippers poached the prize player.
The only thing that could improve this scenario is if Clippers GM Neil Olshey somehow lures Phil Jackson out of retirement to help clobber Kobe and his crusty crew.
Across the board, the team's fortunes are rising even faster than budding superstar Blake Griffin can leap over an automobile. Shockingly, a genuine culture shift is afoot. For the uninitiated and the nouveau Clip among you, as well as for us disoriented disciples, here are three reasons why the Clippers' transformation is so stunning.
We've Lost That Losing Feeling: In the not too distant past, someone called 411 in Los Angeles and asked the operator for the number of the "L.A. Clippers' box office." After a long pause, the woman replied, "You're joking, right?"
The Stockholm Syndrome got so bad last year that one bemused fan made a short film, "Clippervention," which played the local festival circuit and tried to comically capture the unique mindset of those who willingly chose to cheer for the likes of Keith Closs, Michael Olowokandi and Baron Davis over the years. (Full disclosure: That fan was me, and the short is at Clippervention.com. I kid you not, we are working on a Black Swan-style sequel, where the Clippervented fan is outraged to learn that he gave up on the team just when it becomes successful, and his personality splits.)
The Exodus Is Over: For years, whatever good players the Clippers managed to luck into would spend hefty portions of their free time plotting their escape. Elton Brand. Lamar Odom. Way back in the late 1980s, when Danny Ferry was a top college talent, he and his agent warned owner Donald Sterling's Clippers not to draft him. They did, and Ferry played in Italy for a year.
These days, it's a sea change. Before landing Paul, the Clippers had already added prized free agents Chauncey Billups and Caron Butler to the fold. Lakers fans, and the seething Kobe, are keenly aware that Billups was the ice pick on a Detroit team that punctured L.A. in the 2004 Finals, and that Butler is a former All-Star forward who's good pals with Bryant, and would've added some offensive firepower to a depleted Laker rotation.
Suddenly, Clipper Nation became a destination, not an exile for the fat (John "Hot Plate" Williams), skinny (Closs) and checkered-past individuals (Ricky Davis) who've washed up on the red-and-blue shores.
No Longer Pointless: Point guard is perhaps the most important position on a basketball team. The last time the Clippers had a good one, Sam Cassell in 2006, they were an actual championship threat. But Cassell's age and balky back hastened his and that unit's demise. Now, with Paul, they have a younger, rock-solid star who brings both a little of Magic Johnson's "Showtime" flair and some serious intensity.
After a recent home victory over a then-undefeated Portland team, a TV reporter kiddingly asked Paul about living up to the team's new "Lob City" marketing moniker, playing to the flashy alley-oop dunks of Griffin and young center DeAndre Jordan. Instead of a chuckle and an acknowledgment of the aerial acrobatics, this new sheriff in town visibly winced.
"I'm just here to win," he said.
Honestly, a backed-up statement like that will make us Clippers fans a hundred times woozier than any sedan-clearing exhibition dunk ever could.

Analysis of Mutations in B-RAF, N-RAS, and H-RAS Genes in the Differential Diagnosis of Spitz Nevus and Spitzoid Melanoma
ABSTRACT A definite diagnosis cannot be established based on histologic features alone in a large number of Spitz nevi and spitzoid melanomas. In a vast majority of common benign and malignant melanocytic lesions, B-RAF and N-RAS mutations were described, but these were not detected in Spitz nevi. In contrast, H-RAS mutations were frequently encountered in Spitz nevi, but only rarely in melanomas. To date, B-RAF mutation analysis has not been reported in atypical Spitz nevi, and there are only a few reports of it in spitzoid melanomas. We analyzed 96 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded spitzoid melanocytic lesions for hotspot mutations in B-RAF, N-RAS, and H-RAS genes to test the assumption whether mutation analysis would assist a more accurate diagnosis of spitzoid melanocytic lesions, which are notoriously difficult to classify. B-RAF or N-RAS mutations were observed in 31 of 36 (86%) spitzoid melanomas, and in 6 of 7 (86%) spitzoid melanoma metastases. In contrast, none of the 14 Spitz nevi and none of the 16 atypical Spitz nevi had mutations in any of the three genes. A B-RAF or N-RAS mutation was found in 8 of 23 (35%) spitzoid lesions suspected for melanoma. H-RAS mutations were detected in 4 of 14 (29%) Spitz nevi, in 3 of 22 (14%) atypical Spitz nevi, in 1 of 15 (7%) spitzoid tumors suspected for melanoma, but in none of the spitzoid melanomas. These results strongly indicate that Spitz nevi and spitzoid melanomas are genetically unrelated entities. Furthermore, we can conclude that mutation analysis may be useful as an additional diagnostic tool to distinguish between benign and malignant spitzoid lesions.

- "In the BRAF V600E mutation, a thymine at nucleotide 1799 on exon 15 is converted into adenine, causing glutamic acid to replace valine at residue 600. While BRAF V600E mutations have been described in congenital nevi [13], Spitz nevi [17], and blue nevi [22], they have been reported to occur with greatest frequency in acquired nevi (see Table 3) [12]. BRAF mutations were first described in 81% (57 of 70) of acquired nevi studied by Pollock et al. in 2003 [6]. "
Article: Molecular Nevogenesis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite recent advances, the biology underlying nevogenesis remains unclear. Activating mutations in NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, and GNAQ have been identified in benign nevi. Their presence roughly correlates with congenital, Spitz, acquired, and blue nevi, respectively. These mutations are likely to play a critical role in driving nevogenesis. While each mutation is able to activate the MAP kinase pathway, they also interact with a host of different proteins in other pathways. The different melanocytic developmental pathways activated by each mutation cause the cells to migrate, proliferate, and differentiate to different extents within the skin. This causes each mutation to give rise to a characteristic growth pattern. The exact location and differentiation state of the cell of origin for benign moles remains to be discovered. Further research is necessary to fully understand nevus development given that most of the same developmental pathways are also present in melanoma.Dermatology Research and Practice 04/2011; 2011(6):463184.

Chapter: Principles of Molecular Biology[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The rapid development of molecular biology in recent decades has dramatically changed the way we practice medicine. With the help of an impressive arsenal of new technologies, including high-throughput sequencing and microarrays, we are now well-equipped to probe into the molecular nature of diseases. Which set of genes are involved? What are the genetic and epigenetic alterations associated with these genes? In this chapter, we will describe the basic concepts of molecular biology, including genes, types of mutations, and gene expression.01/1970: pages 13-25;

ABSTRACT: At the end of the last decade, sporadic melanomas were still considered a genetic black box. Fortunately, in the last few years the box has been opened bringing to light melanoma-relevant oncogenes, aberrant signal transduction pathways, critical alterations in the melanoma cell cycle that go beyond p16INK4a, and melanoma- microenvironment interactions that are essential for tumor progression. This review will discuss some of the latest findings in melanoma research including the critical role of the MAPK pathway in the genesis of melanoma and senescence of nevi, the paradoxical tumor suppressor and oncogenic activities of the transcription factor MITF, and the unexpected oncogenic activities of the low molecular weight forms of cyclin E.Frontiers in Bioscience 02/2006; 11(1):3003-13.
