The Fall and Rise Of Kilmer McCully
Published: August 10, 1997
(Page 2 of 5)
Here was a strong connection between diet and heart disease, but one that took a different path from cholesterol. The homocysteine theory considers arteriosclerosis a disease of what McCully calls ''protein intoxication.'' The cholesterol theory (sometimes called the lipid theory) instead demonizes fats. Since proteins and fats often occur in the same foods, the potential dietary treatments for high homocysteine and high cholesterol are similar, with this distinction: the anti-homocysteine diet focuses on what should be eaten, as a preventive, while the anti-cholesterol diet focuses on what should be avoided, as a precipitator. Thus, a diet of lower homocysteine would include many natural sources of B-vitamins like fresh fruits and vegetables and would limit animal protein. The cholesterol-reducing diet would limit foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol, like eggs, meat and butter.
But dietary intervention often fails to lower cholesterol levels, and the next step is drug therapy. A new class of drugs called statins has been more effective than previous drugs at lowering cholesterol with few side effects, but questions have been raised about the safety of long-term use. No clinical consensus on how to treat high homocysteine has yet emerged, but most researchers say that the logical course is simply to take a multivitamin. Studies suggest an optimal daily intake of 3 to 3.5 milligrams of B6, 350 to 400 micrograms of folic acid and 5 to 15 micrograms of B12; many multivitamins contain these amounts.
''For the first few years, everywhere I turned I got evidence that the basic idea was correct,'' McCully recalls. He injected rabbits with homocysteine and within weeks found arteriosclerotic plaques in their coronary arteries. If the animals were also given a diet deficient in vitamin B6, the plaques were more widespread. While others conducted similar experiments with baboons, McCully examined and manipulated cell cultures from children with homocystinuria. Two Australian researchers, Bridget and David Wilcken, published the first human study in 1976, showing a possible connection between coronary heart disease and high elevations of blood homocysteine.
Then, in the mid-70's, the homocysteine theory began to lose momentum. McCully believes that his support at Harvard and Mass. General began to flag after his department chief and mentor, Benjamin Castleman, retired in 1974. Castleman, who died in 1982, had helped review McCully's findings, sponsored him for lectures and showcased his work before a prestigious panel of experts.
Under the new chief, Robert T. McCluskey, this backing eroded. He was moved to an inferior laboratory in the basement, he lost staffers and his N.I.H. funding was running out. ''With the changes in my lab and the loss of some key collaborators, it was difficult to come up with new ideas,'' he says. ''I felt very cut off from everybody, and there was no encouragement. Then they told me that if I didn't renew my grant, I would definitely be out. Their view, I suppose, was that I was no longer productive. My view was that I was being discouraged at every turn.''
McCluskey, who is no longer the department head, now says that the key issue was money. ''It's certainly true that, perhaps because his idea at that time wasn't generally accepted, he wasn't able to get funding for research after his grants ran out,'' he says. ''There was some uncertainty at the time about how important his work was. Anyone doing research at Mass. General has to apply for and eventually succeed in getting outside funding, and McCully was unable -- in fact, unwilling -- to do that. He wanted the department to support him, which wasn't possible on a long-term basis. So he was asked to either attempt to get further support or to leave.''
McCully acknowledges that he eventually did give up on obtaining another N.I.H. grant. ''My enthusiasm had been drained,'' he says. ''In that atmosphere, and because I hadn't generated a lot of new information, I felt it was hopeless to apply for a new grant -- that I wouldn't get it.'' But he denies that he asked the pathology department to support his research. ''I'd already been told by the director of the hospital that it was felt at Harvard that I had not proven my theory,'' he says. ''In fact, when I left he told me never to come back.''
The current chief of pathology at Mass. General, Robert Colvin, agrees with his predecessor that ''the main issue was that nobody could fund McCully's research,'' but he emphasizes the funders' short-sightedness. ''McCully was so far advanced in his thinking about the biochemistry,'' Colvin says. ''And N.I.H. is not very good at funding very innovative, creative research. They're better at funding natural extensions of existing theories.''
Since Mass. General and Harvard appointments go hand in hand and McCully had not been recommended for tenure at Harvard, both jobs formally ended in January 1979. At about the same time, a former classmate at Harvard who went on to become the director of the Arteriosclerosis Center at M.I.T. attacked his ideas as ''errant nonsense'' and a ''hoax that is being perpetrated on the public.'' McCully says that when he was interviewed on Canadian television after he left Harvard, he received a call from the public-affairs director of Mass. General. ''He told me to shut up,'' McCully recalls. ''He said he didn't want the names of Harvard and Mass. General associated with my theories.''

MIAMI—What a difference a year makes. The mood at last year's University of Miami (UM) Real Estate Impact Conference was hopeful. This year, commercial real estate developers and capital markets gurus were downright bullish on Miami and beyond.
Set against the backdrop of the newly-minted Perez Art Museum, one of the latest developments in the move to revitalize the Magic City, about 200 people attended UM's third annual event. UM President Donna Shalala moderated a keynote session with Starwood Capital Group CEO Barry Sternlicht, but that was merely the finale of a day that left event-goers walking away perhaps more bullish than they came in.
Although the panels were national in scope, Miami was a prime example again and again, from discussions on mixed-use development and walkability in a panel called "The Invisible Asset Class Initiative" to subsequent panels focusing on creativity in the commercial real estate sector and the power of residential real estate to change a city's future.
"There is a benefit to developing mixed-use assets," said Mark L. Troen, managing partner and principal of The Winnmark Group, in a panel discussing the move to have the industry recognize walkable, transit-oriented, mixed-use development as an asset class. "Mixed-use properties, which are often perceived as more difficult to develop typically perform as well or better as other asset classes."
In a panel called "Think Differently: Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership in Commercial Real Estate," Jodie W. McLean, president and Chief Investment Officer of EDENS, the retail guru explained how her company's business model has evolved to find more ways to engage with communities. "We've completely shifted our mindset," she said, noting that communities have lost a central sense of place. EDENS is moving to reclaim and rebuild places that give communities gathering places where people can slow down in a convenient, safe, and vibrant atmosphere.
Jorge Perez, CEO of The Related Group, made his voice heard in a panel entitled, "The Power of the Residential Real Estate Market to Change a City's Future." "South Florida has become, as opposed to just being fun in the sun, a serious city, a great city," Perez said. "In terms of problems in South Florida, we still don't have the local buyers for our private properties we're building."
Perez pointed to rising construction costs as one issue to beware of on the condo development front while Stuart Muller, CEO of Lennar Corp., said critical in the single rising construction costs weren't as critical in the single-family home market due to stable land costs and rising home prices.
Keith Oden, president of Camden Property Trust, called South Florida the fifth-best-performing market in the U.S. Only Atlanta and three Texas markets rate higher for his company, which owns 70,000 multifamily units in 15 U.S. markets. Camden is building multifamily in Planation and Boca Raton in 2014, signaling a 5% growth rate in its South Florida portfolio this year.
"We love this market," Oden said. "We think there is a lot of underlying strength here, and 2014 looks to be another strong year."
The keynote focused on issues ranging from the future of hotel branding to the economy to education. Sternlicht pointed to Miami's red hot hotel market, which he said was arguably the best in the nation. He also likes Florida's low tax structure, including no income tax, and predict Northeasterners would begin moving to the Sunshine State if tax structures in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut did not change.
"Everyone wants to come here," he said. "Also, you have really low taxes. We've noticed. My generation, which is the tail end of baby boomers, we're coming. We're changing our addresses and we're coming to low-tax states."

CINCINNATI -- The Bengals expect cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones to come back after surgery for a herniated disk in his neck.
They sure could use him this week.
Jones went on injured reserve Tuesday with the neck injury, ending his comeback season. Jones got hurt late in a loss to Atlanta on Sunday. His agent said doctors have recommended surgery. The cornerback will get another opinion before making his decision.
Coach Marvin Lewis confirmed on Wednesday that surgery is likely, but Jones could be back by next season. He's under contract with the Bengals for one more year. Jones wasn't in the locker room.
"At some point, Adam will have surgery -- once the doctors feel it's time -- with the hopes that he'll be back and ready to play next season," Lewis said. "That would be the outlook that he's looking for. So, that's kind of where it is.
"It's a tough thing on him. This is important to him, and I think he's shown that as he's gone about his daily life. This is important and he's made such huge steps and strides. Maybe this is another positive that he can use and turn around to help others that come down the line after him."
Jones was Tennessee's first-round pick in 2005. Six arrests and a dozen instances involving police intervention scuttled his career. He was suspended for the 2007 season with Tennessee. The Cowboys signed him, but he was suspended for six games in 2008 for an alcohol-related scuffle with a bodyguard provided by the team.
Nobody wanted him last year, forcing him to sit out the season. He tried out with the Bengals in the offseason and got a two-year deal that represented his last chance.
He impressed the Bengals in training camp, winning the third cornerback job behind Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall. He also returned punts and kickoffs.
"We've seen guys that have had distractions and issues away from football come back and rebound and change their life, and he's done a great job," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "He's eliminated all the negative things that have happened to him and found a way to be successful on the field.
"To see him at the hospital yesterday and just the mood he was in and just knowing his season was over was difficult on him. It's difficult on this team because he meant a lot to us."
Jones started on Sunday because Joseph was sidelined by an ankle injury. Jones stripped the ball from receiver Roddy White after a catch and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown that put the Bengals ahead 25-24. Cincinnati lost 39-32.
Joseph didn't practice with the team on Monday, although Lewis said he could do more later in the week. Hall had a sore hamstring, and cornerback Morgan Trent also sat out with a sore knee.
The Bengals (2-4) play Miami (3-3) at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday.

"1.5C rise in temperature enough to start permafrost melt, scientists warn."
1 Comment
Right. What's the next step? I predict it will soon be down to 0.5C, and then they will start screaming that the absence of change is catastrophic enough already. "We are beyond the tipping point." And every time, it will be settled, peer-reviewed science.

Starting the week of August 25, Bing Ads says it will test the inclusion of close variants in exact match in the U.S. for a portion of queries.
During its test, Bing says exact match will include "minor grammatical variations," such as plurals, abbreviations, acronyms, spacing, and misspellings.
The Bing Ads close variants test will be subject to "extremely high relevancy thresholds," and close variants will be mined from a number of "highly qualified sources," Bing adds.
Bing also says exact match close variants will help drive more highly qualified click volume to campaigns, which will maximize an advertiser's presence on the queries that are the most relevant to its products and services.
"Ultimately, this feature will be designed to match your ad to queries that represent exactly the same intent to those you are already using," writes Microsoft group program manager Matt Bisson in a blog post. "The close variants feature does the work to optimize for you, ensuring that your ad shows when the query varies only slightly from the keywords you have already selected."
Bing says it expects this test to cover the close variant types below:
The announcement comes after Google said AdWords would apply close variant keyword matching to all exact and phrase match keywords in late September.
According to WordStream chief technology officer Larry Kim, keyword match type consolidation is one more step toward a "keywordless search" future and he expects to see more updates like this in the near future.
"Keywords have served us well for the last 15 years as a proxy for commercial intent," he writes in an email. "They're definitely still important, but are relatively less so if you consider product updates like Hummingbird, which can infer intent of ambiguous searches, as well as AdWords Express and Google Shopping, which trigger ads without even requiring advertisers to specify keywords."
In addition, Kim notes search engine ad platforms are phasing out older ways of optimizing PPC campaigns that involved cloning the account structure like device targeting and now phrase and exact match.
"By eliminating those features, they're forcing us to shift the focus away from these low-level operations," Kim notes. "Going forward, ROI will be found by investing in more strategic elements of paid search advertising, like ad copy and landing page optimization as well as negative keyword research. I think they're making the changes to make PPC campaign management less confusing for new advertisers, which is where much of their future growth will come from."

Questions over the Real Madrid winger's fitness have overshadowed the Group G opener at Arena Fonte Nova but he is adamant he is in good condition to make an impact
Cristiano Ronaldo insists he is "100 per cent" fit and ready to lead Portugal in their Group G crunch clash against Germany at Arena Fonte Nova on Monday.
Ronaldo's fitness has overshadowed the build-up to the match after he was seen limping out of a Portugal training session with an ice pack on his left knee last week.
But the Real Madrid superstar is adamant he is in good enough condition to make a decisive impact for his country against Joachim Low's heavily fancied Germany team.
"The [fitness] problems are all in the past," he told reporters at a pre-match press conference in Salvador.
"Since the start of my career there's not been one single day in which I've played without pain. It's just the burden of my work.
"I'm ready, I'm feeling well ... I don't have anything to prove. One player is not a team, I can't carry the whole team on my back."

Improving Teacher & Principal QualityCalifornia's plan to implement NCLB Title II, Part A regulations/requirements to prepare, train and recruit highly qualified teachers and principals.
Program Overview
The California Department of Education (CDE) believes that the teacher is at the heart of student academic success and therefore key to closing the achievement gap between poor and minority students and their more affluent peers. Teachers who are appropriately credentialed have a deep understanding of the content they teach, have been trained in a variety of instructional strategies, and are in the best position to aid California students in reaching academic proficiency. The CDE is committed to ensuring that highly qualified, experienced, and effective teachers teach all students, regardless of ethnicity or socio-economic status. Equally the CDE is committed to ensuring that every child has the same opportunity to attend a school with an effective, experienced administrator.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) requires all teachers of core academic subjects to provide evidence of their highly qualified teacher status. Per the United States Department of Education, a Highly Qualified Teacher (HQT) is one who: (1) holds a bachelor's or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of higher learning, (2) is appropriately licensed by the state, and (3) has demonstrated subject matter competence in each core academic subject assigned to teach.
In California, ESEA core academic subjects are defined as:
- Mathematics (including math intervention and California High School Exit Exam [CAHSEE] math classes);
- Biological sciences, chemistry, geosciences, and physics;
- Social science (history, government, economics, geography);
- Foreign languages (specific);
- Drama/theater, visual arts (including dance), and music; and
- English/language arts and reading (including reading intervention and CAHSEE - English classes).

In Search of Israeli Cuisine is a portrait of the Israeli people told through the very personal language of food. This feature length documentary puts a face on the culture of Israel, profiling chefs, home cooks, vintners, and cheese-makers drawn from the more than 100 cultures that make up today's Israel. Award-winning filmmaker Roger Sherman tells an intimate, authentic, and witty story of "one of the most dynamic food cultures in the world." Sherman enlists Israeli-born, Philadelphia-raised celebrity chef-restaurateur Michael Solomonov to be his on-camera seeker of culinary wisdom and truth. It's a search that goes from exclusive eateries in Tel Aviv to street bazaars and, inevitably, to the steaming pots of family kitchens.
In Search of Israeli Cuisine is a mouthwatering exploration, a gorgeous travelogue, and a must-see San Diego premiere. Director Roger Sherman will be in person for Q&A.

How is esophageal manometry used to assist in the diagnosis of diseases and conditions?
The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the throat with the stomach. When food is propelled by a swallow from the mouth into the esophagus, a wave of muscular contraction starts behind the food in the upper esophagus and travels down the entire length of the esophagus (referred to as the body of the esophagus), thus propelling the food in front of the wave through the esophagus and into the stomach. At the upper and lower ends of the esophagus are two short areas of specialized muscle called the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. At rest (that is, when there has been no swallow) the muscle of the sphincters is active and generates pressure that prevents anything from passing through them. As a result, material within the esophagus cannot back up into the throat, and stomach acid and contents cannot back up into the esophagus. When a swallow occurs, both the sphincters relax for a few seconds to allow food to pass through the esophagus into the stomach.
The most common use for esophageal manometry is to evaluate the lower esophageal sphincter and the muscle of the body of the esophagus in patients who have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Manometry often can identify weakness in the lower esophageal sphincter that allows stomach acid and contents to back up into the esophagus. It also may identify abnormalities in the functioning of the muscle of the esophageal body that may add to the problem of reflux.
Manometry can help diagnose several esophageal conditions that result in food sticking after it is swallowed. For example, achalasia is a condition in which the muscle of the lower esophageal sphincter does not relax completely with each swallow. As a result, food is trapped within the esophagus. Abnormal function of the muscle of the body of the esophagus also may result in food sticking. For instance, there may be failure to develop the wave of muscular contraction (as can occur in patients with scleroderma) or the entire esophageal muscle may contract at one time (as in an esophageal spasm). Manometry reveals an absence of the wave in the first case and the contraction of the muscle everywhere in the esophagus at the same time, or spasm, in the second case.
The abnormal functioning of the esophageal muscle also may cause episodes of severe chest pain that can mimic heart pain (angina). Such pain may occur if the esophageal muscle goes into spasm or contracts too strongly. In either case, esophageal manometry may identify the muscular abnormality.

A Message to Educators and Students
All New Jersey students are required to pass all sections of the HSPA before they can graduate high school. The state-administered Alternate Proficiency Assessment may be used to evaluate whether or not a student has attained proficiency in the necessary skills if he or she does not pass the HSPA.
The HSPA is not an easy test to pass. It was designed to be more challenging than the state's previous high school exit exam, the HSPT. It is important, therefore, that students extensively review the subjects covered by the HSPA, and become well acquainted with the types of questions that can be expected to be on the test.
This book is arranged to help students pass the Mathematics section of the HSPA by providing:
1. An individual study plan and guidance to help students concentrate on subject areas that they need to work on most when preparing for the exam.
2. Four full-length practice exams based on the format of the most recent exams given. Two exams are printed in this book and two additional exams are available online at www.rea.com/HSPA.
3. Types of questions likely to be on the exam.
4. A full and detailed explanation of the answer to each exam question.
5. Comprehensive reviews of all subjects covered on the exam.
A large number of class and homework assignments that may be assigned to students are included at the back of the book. Answers to the assigned questions are given in the Teacher's Guide, which is available from REA.
PASSING the NEW JERSEY HSPA IN MATHEMATICS
About this book and bonus online tests
This book will provide you with an accurate and complete representation of the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) in Mathematics. Inside you will find subject reviews that are designed to provide you with the information and strategies needed to do well on this section of the HSPA. Four complete practice tests are provided: two printed in this book and two additional unique tests online at www.rea.com/HSPA.
All of the tests are based on the official HSPA. REA's practice tests contain every type of question that you can expect to encounter on the HSPA. Following each model test, you will find an answer key with detailed explanations designed to help you completely understand the test material.
(Note to educators: Also included are over 200 class and homework problems that can be assigned to students. Answers to these questions can be found in the Teacher's Guide, which is available from REA.)
About the Test
Who takes the test and what is it used for?
The HSPA is mandatory for New Jersey high school juniors. It gauges students' knowledge and skills in the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for reading, writing, and mathematics.
All New Jersey high school students are required to pass the entire test in order to graduate. Students who do not pass a section are given an opportunity to retake the test in the fall or spring of the 12th grade.
Who administers the test?
The HSPA was developed and is administered by the New Jersey State Department of Education and involves the assistance of educators throughout the state. The test development process is designed and implemented to ensure that the content and difficulty level of the test are appropriate.
When and where is the test given?
The HSPA Math and English tests are administered in March and October. They are given at all public high schools. The testing lasts for three days, and may be taken on alternate days if a conflictsuch as a religious obligationexists.
To receive information on upcoming administrations of the HSPA, consult the Grade 11 High School Proficiency Assessment Parent Information Bulletin. The bulletin can be obtained from your guidance counselor or by contacting:
New Jersey State Department of Education
P.O. Box 500
Trenton, NJ 08625
Phone: (609) 292-4469
Website: www.state.nj.us/education
Is there a registration fee?
No. Because all New Jersey high school students are required to take this test, no fee is imposed.
How to Use this Book
What do I study first?
Read over the reviews and the suggestions for test taking. Studying the reviews thoroughly will reinforce the basic skills you will need to do well on the test. Be sure to take the practice tests to become familiar with the format and procedures involved with taking the actual HSPA in Mathematics.
To best utilize your study time, follow our HSPA Independent Study Schedule, located in the front of this book. Brushing up on the areas you did well on wouldn't hurt, either.
When should I start studying?
It is never too early to start studying for the HSPA. The earlier you begin, the more time you will have to sharpen your skills. Do not procrastinate! Cramming is not an effective way to study, since it does not allow you the time needed to learn the test material. The sooner you learn the format of the exam, the more time you will have to familiarize yourself with the exam content.
Format of the HSPA in Mathematics
Each section of the HSPA in Mathematics contains 10 multiple-choice questions and 2 open-ended questions. For the multiple-choice questions, you are offered four answer options. The open-ended questions call for you to write a short answer, so you are not presented with answer choices. After each section of the test, you are given a brief break.
Mathematics Content Clusters
In the mathematics sections, you will encounter questions on the following "clusters" of knowledge:
Number Sense, Concepts, and ApplicationsThese questions deal with the following topics: our numeration system (and its application in real-world situations); and ratios, percents, and proportions.
Spatial Sense and GeometryThese questions deal with the following topics: identifying geometric properties, relationships, and patterns in real-world and/or problem-solving situations; using coordinate geometry and principles of congruence, similarity, and transformations; and direct and indirect measurement.
Data Analysis, Probability, Statistics, and Discrete MathematicsThese questions deal with the following topics: probabilities of simple and compound events; statistical distributions; organization and representation of data; discrete mathematics; and iterative and recursive processes.
Patterns, Functions, and AlgebraThese questions test the student's capability in the following topics: patterns and inductive reasoning; various types of functions; and algebraic concepts and processes.
Calculator Use
Calculators will be permitted and, in fact, will be provided during the test. You may use a programmable or non-programmable four-function, scientific, or graphing calculator. No pocket organizers, hand-held minicomputers, paper tape, or noisy calculators may be used. In addition, calculators requiring an external power source will not be permitted. You will not be allowed to share a calculator.
About the Review Section
The reviews in this book are designed to help you sharpen the basic skills needed to approach the HSPA, as well as to provide strategies for attacking each type of question. You will also find exercises to reinforce what you have learned. By using the reviews in conjunction with the practice tests, you will put yourself in a position to master the HSPA.
The Mathematics Section Review covers the basics of what you need to know to pass the Mathematics Section of the HSPA. You will find strategies for the Mathematics Section, a review of each cluster and its individual "macros," and exercises to strengthen your abilities in these areas.
Test-Taking tips
Although you may not be familiar with standardized tests such as the HSPA, there are many ways to acquaint yourself with this type of examination and help alleviate your test-taking anxieties. Listed below are ways to help you become accustomed to the HSPA, some of which may be applied to other standardized tests as well.
Become comfortable with the format of the HSPA. When you are practicing, simulate the conditions under which you will be taking the actual test. Stay calm and pace yourself. After simulating the test only a couple of times, you will boost your chances of doing well, and you will be able to sit for the actual HSPA with much more confidence.
Read all of the possible answers. Just because you think you have found the correct response, do not automatically assume that it is the best answer. Read through each choice to be sure that you are not making a mistake by jumping to conclusions.
Use the process of elimination. Go through each answer to a question and eliminate as many of the answer choices as possible. By eliminating two answer choices, you can vastly improve your chances of getting the item correct, since there will only be two or three choices left from which to make your guess. Guess only if you can eliminate at least two answers, as wrong answers will be penalized.
Work quickly and steadily. You will have only minutes to work on each section, so work quickly and steadily to avoid focusing on any one problem for too long. Taking the practice tests in this book will help you learn to budget your precious time.
Learn the directions and format for each section of the test. Familiarizing yourself with the directions and format of the different test sections will not only save time, but will also help you avoid anxiety (and the mistakes caused by getting anxious).
Work on the easier questions first. If you find yourself working too long on one question, make a mark next to it on your test booklet and continue. After you have answered all of the questions that you can, go back to the ones you have skipped.
Be sure that the answer oval you are marking corresponds to the number of the question in the test booklet. Since the multiple-choice sections are graded by machine, marking one wrong answer can throw off your answer key and your score. Be extremely careful.
Eliminate obvious wrong answers. Sometimes an HSPA question will have one or two answer choices that are a little odd. These answers will be obviously wrong for one of three reasons: (1) they may be impossible given the conditions of the problem, (2) they may violate mathematical rules or principles, or (3) they may be illogical. Being able to spot obvious wrong answers before you finish a problem gives you an advantage because you will be able to make a more educated guess from the remaining choices even if you are unable to fully solve the problem.
Work from answer choices. One of the ways you can use a multiple-choice format to your advantage is to work backwards from the answer choices to solve a problem. This is not a strategy you can use all of the time, but it can be helpful if you can just plug the choices into a given statement or equation. The answer choices can often narrow the scope of responses. You may be able to make an educated guess based on eliminating choices that you know do not fit into the problem.

Behold, beautiful and confused children of Earth: The smoke has cleared, the glitter bomb has settled and finally the world-famous "homosexual agenda" has, once and for all, screamed itself alive.
You know that moment we all look forward to at a wedding when the bride comes down the aisle and, for the first time, we get to see that beautiful white dress? Well, it's even more magical when there are two white dresses.
The gay families are in, our children are watching, and you just know that they're reporting back to the Big Gal in the sky, from place-settings, car seats and pond walks everywhere.
New York stands to make $391 million as the 'NYC I DO' campaign attracts tens of thousands of visitors within the next three years. The state knows legalizing gay marriage is not only important on a human level, but on an economic one. The same cannot be said for New Jersey.
This week, Norway's peace was shattered by homegrown terror; the Murdochs dodged inquiries -- and a pie -- in Parliament; and Michele Bachmann's migraines gave her campaign a splitting headache. In Washington, the "Grand Bargain" on the debt ceiling fell apart, leading President Obama to lament being "left at the altar" and John Boehner to blame the failure on "different visions for our country." But, in truth, neither side is addressing the simple mathematical reality that we will never be able to reduce the deficit unless we prioritize growth. Trying to eliminate our debt by spending cuts that will reduce consumer demand and tax revenues, and prolong the recession, is like deciding to remove the gas tank from a stalled car and hope for the best instead of restarting it with jumper cables. Elsewhere, today is the first day gays can marry in New York so, unlike the "left at the altar" president, same-sex couples will finally be able to tie the knot. Congratulations, newlyweds!
Tomorrow, NY will join Massachusetts as one of six states that recognize same-sex couples' right to marry, and our country comes a step closer to ensuring that every person is free to marry whomever they love.
A sacrament, and I believe marriage is one, is a manifestation of God's grace and love, an outward and visible sign, we say. Something you can see and understand that points to what God might be like.
Our task as clergy is not to marry everyone who asks. It is to provide honest and caring direction to couples who seek to embark on that awesome task of binding their hearts and minds together.
There are in fact two very different Catholic voices that elected officials in New York and elsewhere around the country have to navigate: the big "C" voice of the Catholic bishops, and the little "c" voices of Catholics in the pews.
With New York State's recent legalization of gay marriage, it is a good time to discuss another pressing issue; that is the problem of same sex divor...
If marriage truly is a sacrament, as many Christians (including myself) believe, then we need to be much more concerned with developing a robust theology of marriage and making that understood among our congregations than with mobilizing them to deny the right of a civil marriage to same-sexed partners.
I approached the confessional with trepidation. I entered, sat down, dispensed with the formalities and faced the 60-something-year-old priest. "Father," I said, "I'm gay."
"Here's to including, not excluding, kindhearted people ... who want nothing more than to find the right person, settle down, and one day perhaps get married."
I have always wondered about some of the arguments people use against the legalization of same-sex marriage. These are not unintelligent people, yet, we see fundamental issues of faith and life in such different ways.
It really is a shame that these White House hopefuls haven't an ounce of the courage displayed by a handful of Republicans in the New York State Senate.

"The Lives of Others" will touch your life,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Lives of Others [Blu-ray] [UK Import] (Blu-ray)
This is the story of a good man.
Every once in a long while a movie will comes along that a five star rating is just not good enough. This is one of those movies. Based on true environments you can immediately connect with the characters and the story. If you do not speak fluent German, it may take some time to get use to the subtitles, however soon you do not realize your are reading; for others you may notice that the subtitle may not quite match but are close enough that you just do not care. What you care for is what they are saying and doing.
The date 1984. The place East Berlin. In an intolerable situation, people are committing suicide. A well know playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch), after having a friend Albert Jerska (Volkmar Kleinert )commit suicide, is compelled to tell the western world the truth about the situation. The Stasi (East German Spy system) suspects the playwright's motives, and keeps an eye on him. The person in charge of surveillance Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe) is also under surveillance gets involved with "The Lives of Others."
The playwright smugly thinks he is not being watched. However, we know he is not only watching him but an unlikely guardian angel also helps him. This angle also learns about love and true friendship of which he is personally lacing in the intolerable world of the DDR.
For people interested in Blu-ray many of the scenes were quite graphic. Not as much thee blood and guts scenes as people's faces and the face of the DDR. The filmmakers had to clean the graffiti off the buildings daily for the film. The film also shows actual locations.
By the way, I heard the film commentary is in English

Children's Rights Matter: Why Europe needs to invest in children
Prestigious Patron and Speaker
Confirmed speakers from Belgian and European governments
Elke Sleurs
Gianluca Esposito
Vasiliki Kokkori
Europe enormous progress has been made in recognising children's rights since adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, but significant challenges remain.
One in four children is growing up in poverty and exclusion; there are unprecedented numbers of migrant and refugee children entering Europe – many of them unaccompanied; and still over half a million children are placed in institutional care, in contradiction to all human rights standards.
The Eurochild conference Children's Rights Matter: Why Europe needs to invest in children, aimed to take stock of progress, address on-going challenges, share good practice, and bring together different perspectives.
To answer this question, conference participants, both young and old, learnt and reflected on how policies and services promote the rights of all children in the five sub-themes: education, early years, health promotion, family strengthening, social protection and welfare support. For each of these themes we focused on three target groups of children: children in poverty, children on the move or affected by migration, and children in care or in risk of going into care.
Children, ages 12+, were involved both in the design, organisation and implementation of the conference. Children and adults jointly worked together during this conference as chairs, speakers, facilitators and rapporteurs.
• 3 days of interactive learning opportunities and discussions with politicians, policy makers, practitioners and children and young people
• 3 target groups in focus: Children in poverty; Children on the move or affected by migration; Children in care or in risk of going into care
• 5 sub-themes: Education; Early years policies; Health promotion; Family strengthening; Social protection and welfare support
• 14+ services for children and families open their doors to participants
• 13+ workshops to discover promising practices around education, health, families and social protection
• Be part of a unique experience of reflecting on children's rights, with children.

A children's rights passport for every child
Working paper on a Child Guarantee
The Eurochild Conference is organised by Eurochild, together with the Belgian co-hosts Kind and Gezin and ONE.
Eurochild is a network of organisations and individuals that promote the rights and well-being of children and young people in Europe. Their work is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children's Rights and well-being, as well as child & youth participation are amongst their key priorities.
Kind and Gezin Kind en Gezin (Child and Family) is an agency that works actively in 'Public Health, Welfare and Family' policy area. This Flemish agency focuses on preventive treatment and guidance of young children geared to good outcomes in the future. We work hard to enable children to achieve their full developmental potential, physically, mentally, emotionally and socially, with respect for diversity and children's rights. This principle holds good for all the different areas that we work in.
ONE The Office of Birth and Childhood (Office de la Naissance et de l'Enfance, further referred to as ONE) is a public institution that develops birth and childhood policies. ONE is an independent organism under the Minister for Childhood of the Wallonia & Brussels Federation. The Chairman of the Board of Directors is Mrs. Claudia Camus, and the General Director of the Executive Board is Mr. Benoît Parmentier.
The conference will take place at the prestigious Les Palais des Académies/Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts in Brussels.
The closing session of the conference is held under the auspices of the Slovak Presidency in the Council of the European Union. An advisory group of children and young people is helping to set the agenda, frame the conversations, and design an inclusive conference.
The conference approach builds on the work we have been developing within Eurochild with the support of our Participation Reference Group and the experience of Children as Actors in Transforming Society, a global annual meeting of children and adults in Switzerland. The organisers are also supported by an advisory group of some of the key stakeholders and partners in Belgium and at EU level.

A real milk maid! Foster carer drinks up to TEN PINTS of the white stuff every day running up bills of £25 a week on her favourite tipple
- Sandra Heap won't let her family touch her supply of full-fat milk
- The 46-year-old keeps six-litre bottles in their own fridge at home
- Shuns alcohol for ice-cold glasses of milk on nights out with friends
- Mrs Heap says she would like to be hypnotised as she is gaining weight
It's the household staple for healthy bones and pearly white teeth.
But for one woman, a love of British whole milk has turned into an uncontrollable addiction which sees her drink ten pints of the white stuff every day.
Sandra Heap from Southport, Merseyside, depends on the drink so much, she won't allow her family to touch her full-fat supply.
Scroll down for video
Sandra Heap drinks up to ten pints of full-fat milk every day and craves it more later in the evening
Mrs Heap says she becomes 'narky' if someone in her household dips into her supply of whole milk
The 46-year-old foster carer will even shun alcohol for a glass of the white stuff on nights out.
Mrs Heap, who lives with her husband, son and foster child, didn't drink milk as a child but now can't make it through the day without her fix.
'During the day I have at least two or three, I usually top six pints between 9am and 10pm,' she said.
'But I really crave and want milk after 10pm at night, I don't know if it is something psychological.
'It doesn't matter if I'm drinking a glass of wine, but if my husband asks me if I want another glass I'll say 'no I want a glass of milk'.
'I could even be drinking champagne or be out in a restaurant and if people ask me I'll say "you know what, can I have a glass of milk?"
'I did drink milk when I was younger and when I was a kid and my brother is a big milk drinker.
'He likes milk but not like me - he doesn't have to have it every single day, seven days a week.'
On a typical day, Mrs Heap will drink milk in her coffee when she wakes up and then a pint or two with lunch.
She drinks another pint with dinner, but can get through an entire six-litre bottle while watching television between 9pm and 11.30pm.
Sometimes she'll opt for two strawberry milkshakes with double cream instead. Between 11.30pm and 2am, the foster carer can drink a four-litre bottle.
She added she sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and walks to a 24hour shop to stock up on milk if she's run out when the craving strikes her.
While working at a primary school, Mrs Heap even urged children to swap their milk for fruit juice so she would have more, she said.
In a designated fridge at her family home, she keeps her supply of blue-topped full fat milk.
The 46-year-old said her favourite way of drinking milk was if it is ice-cold and in a wine glass
The foster carer buys herself whole milk and stocks up on semi-skimmed for her husband, son and foster child
And while her children have a habit of ducking into her supply, her husband Graham is less fond of it.
'Graham actually has a small phobia of milk, it's God's honest truth he actually can't stand the stuff, he'll have a bit in coffee but other than that if you offered him a £100 to drink a glass - he wouldn't.'
'If I want a kiss I have to wipe my mouth of the milk or he won't kiss me. But I think it's nothing bad, it's not like I'm on drugs or alcohol.'
'The problem is I put on weight with it, if I didn't drink milk I'd be a size 10, but I'm pushing a 12 or size 14 now.
'I would love get hypnotised, but it's the money, if someone offered to do that I would take it.
'It's got so bad I don't even like the taste of water and I think that's because of all the milk I drink.
'I get narky if I go to the fridge and someone has drunk the blue milk, I ask "who's done that?' I tell them "you don't use the blue stuff, you use the green"'.
'I buy the big six-litre bottles, then I have to buy a four-pint of semi-skimmed milk for the family, I don't drink that but I've got it there if I am desperate.
'The milk bill easily is topping £25 a week, and then the cream I buy is on top of that, but I've tried to cut down on cream.
'As far as my health is concerned I must have great bones.'
For centuries doctors have encouraged milk as a source of calcium which strengthens the bones and teeth.
Children were administered the drink at schools across the country and overseas.
If so good for our bones and bodies, can there ever be such a thing as drinking too much milk?
According to the Dairy Council, whole standardised milk has a fat content of 3.5% compared with 1.7% in semi-skimmed, and 0.1% in skimmed.
'Relatively small quantities of milk can provide a significant proportion of daily nutrient requirements for all age groups making it nutrient rich relative to its energy content,' the Council's website states.
But with an estimated 149 calories in a single glass of full-fat milk, drinking large amounts of the substance can lead to weight gain or digestion problems.
NHS Milk and Dairy Guidelines state:
'Much of the fat in milk and dairy foods is saturated fat.
'For older children and adults, eating too much saturated fat can contribute to becoming overweight.
'It can also cause raised levels of cholesterol in the blood, and this can put you at increased risk of a heart attack or stroke.
'If you're trying to cut down on fat it's a good idea to go for lower-fat milks.
'Semi-skimmed, 1% fat and skimmed milks contain all the important nutritional benefits of milk, but are lower in fat.'
