Anaphylaxis, the Life-Threatening Allergic Reaction
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction to specific triggers such as foods, medications, insect venom, or latex. Recognizing and treating anaphylaxis early is crucial since an allergic reaction can become an anaphylactic reaction in only a few minutes.
In a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis, the body is overwhelmed by its own immune response. Intravenous medications and chemicals are often the cause of severe anaphylaxis, as well as wasps, bees, and ants stings. This is because the allergen usually reaches the bloodstream very quickly, and circulates widely throughout the body.
If the reaction worsens, multiple body systems are affected, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, GI and skin. Patients can develop hives or urticaria, which can be very itchy as fluid shifts into the sublayers of the skin. As in other disease processes, the faster anaphylaxis sets in, the less likely the body can compensate and the more likely it will be fatal. Treatment must occur quickly in the form of a rapid, aggressive support of the airway, breathing and circulatory status of the patient, and administering epinephrine as early as possible.
It's important to note that the beneficial effects of epinephrine, while quick, are short lived. Epinephrine is rapidly broken down by the body, therefore EMS providers may need to administer a second dose of epinephrine while waiting for the longer-lasting effects of diphenhydramine or corticosteroids to begin.
In very severe cases of anaphylaxis, massive swelling of the airway's soft tissue may require immediate transport by EMS providers to the closest receiving facility for surgical intervention. Paramedics may perform a needle or surgical cricothyrotomy to preserve the airway if pharmacologic interventions are not successful.

It May Not Be a Cold
Sinusitis and the common cold are often confused as they have similar symptoms including congestion, post-nasal drip, fever, and coughing. However, the common cold usually only lasts a couple of weeks, at most, and a serious case of sinusitis can last for months.
Sinusitis can also develop after a bout of the common cold and that may be a reason people confuse it. It may start as a cold but then the inflammation of the sinuses leads to an infection that will persist after the virus itself has been cleared from the patient's system. With winter on the way, colds are soon to start interrupting our daily lives again with some regularity. If your cold seems to be persisting and is coupled with headaches that seem to be located behind the eyes and facial pain, you may be suffering from a sinus infection. If you are concerned you may have a sinus infection, particularly if symptoms have persisted for 8 weeks or more, see a doctor. Live in the NYC area? Feel free to contact my office for a consultation.Tweet
Itching without a rash may not be an allergy
Itching is a common symptom seen often in the allergist/immunologist's office. However, if the patient is itching without a preceding rash, there are a list of numerous possible causes and include non-allergic conditions. We first need to determine whether the cause of itching is derived from the skin or another organ system. Itching that is not caused by a skin condition usually does not have a rash, although some patients can develop a secondary rash.
Several circumstances can cause itching without a rash and can be due to systemic, neurologic, or psychiatric conditions. A few examples of systemic conditions include kidney disease, liver disease, hyperthyroidism, lymphoma, polycythemia vera, and HIV infection. Narcotic medications can have itching as a side effect, as well as nerve injury from shingles or spine disease, as they can cause localized itching at the affected area. Lastly, psychiatric conditions such as substance abuse or obsessive-compulsive disorder can also lead to itching.
The management of itching without rash should start with evaluating for and treating the underlying cause. There are a variety of remedies available for symptomatic relief; moisturizing the skin, keeping nails short, wearing loose clothing and taking antihistamines. While antihistamines are often used for itching, studies suggest that first generation antihistamines only help itching by causing sedation.
There are more successful, prescribed oral medications available which can be slowly increased to minimize side effects.
If you have questions regarding an allergic condition, I invite you to come in for a consultation.

Tips for Managing Food Allergies
Managing food allergies may seem overwhelming at first, but it does get easier over time.
Start with these basic measures to safeguard yourself from adverse reactions and prepare yourself for the challenges you will face.
- Emergency medication – Due to the nature of food allergies, it is important to be prepared against anaphylaxis, always carry your Epi-pen.
- Outline an emergency care plan and inform family and friends of the plan. This will alert those around you to recognize signs and symptoms of your allergies so that they know when and how to use your emergency medication.
- Wear medical identification at all times to make responders aware of your allergy.
- Plan in advance how to handle certain situations; prepare yourself for variety of environments you may find yourself in. Keep a food diary to assist in learning what foods to avoid and get tested if symptoms persist.
To successfully manage food allergies, you have to monitor your diet and lifestyle.
Accidents can happen and you should always be prepared. If you have any questions, you can read more about Food Allergies on my website at http://www.nycallergydoctor.com Or if you feel the need to be tested for allergies and live in the NYC area, please call our office to arrange for a consultation, 212-247-7447.Tweet
Summer Vacations And Asthma
School Asthma Management Plan Act
School Asthma Management Plan Act
The most common chronic disorder in children, ASTHMA affects nearly seven million children. Over half of these children suffered with an asthma attack or episode in 2014 to their poorly controlled condition. As well as the health risk involved, these asthma attacks resulted in 10.5 million missed school days and U.S. $56 billion in healthcare expenditures. A good number of these costs are preventable when a prescribed Asthma Plan is implemented correctly.
On April 22, 2015 Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced the Asthma Management Plan Act with Senators Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Bob Casey (D-PA).
From AAAAI.com
The School Asthma Management Plan Act allows schools to apply for grants that help them: 1) develop asthma management plans, and 2) purchase medication and equipment necessary to treat students affected by asthma.
Bill Summary
• Develop and implement school asthma management plan—Schools shall use grant money to develop asthma management plans based on national guidelines that include, among other provisions, methods for identifying all students with asthma diagnoses, implementing asthma education for all staff, providing access to medication and methods to administer medication for all affected students, and developing medication and emergency policies specific to each school.
• Purchase asthma medications and devices—Schools shall also use grant funds to purchase asthma inhalers, spacers, air purifiers, asthma education materials, and other supplies necessary for the relief and treatment of affected students.
• Improve communication and coordination—Schools receiving grants shall find ways to encourage bidirectional communication between schools and physicians, and improve adherence to asthma treatment my students. Schools shall also utilize existing systems and resources when possible.
The AAAAI is on the record as a supporter of the bill, having submitted an official letter of support to Senator Gillibrand. In it, AAAAI President Robert F. Lemanske, Jr., MD, FAAAAI, states: "As the current president of the AAAAI, this bill is of great interest to me personally since my major presidential initiative focuses on the creation of the Office of School-based Management of Asthma and Allergic/Immunologic Diseases within the AAAAI to serve as a resource for the creation of programs to establish optimal clinician-school nurse-family communications to better care for children with asthma in the school setting."
If you have questions about Asthma or how to control asthma with an Asthma Treatment Plan, please contact an allergist. Live in NYC or tri-state area, please feel free to contact my office for a consultation. The first step to Asthma control, is adhering to your prescribed Asthma Treatment Plan.Tweet
Is it a Food Allergy?
Food allergy awareness has boomed over the past decades, and rightfully so. Many people suffer from some sort of food allergy, whether a minor irritation or life-threatening situation. Let's talk about the symptoms, the causes, and what you can do if you suffer from food allergies.
Some common allergies include nuts, shellfish, gluten, egg and dairy. Allergic reactions to foods typically begin with minutes to a few hours after eating the food. How often and how severe one experiences symptoms varies widely from one person to another. Mildly allergic persons may only suffer from a runny nose or sneezing, while highly allergic persons may experience severe and potentially life-threatening rations.
The most common symptoms of a food allergy involve the intestines or the skin. Symptoms presenting on the skin can include rashes or hives. Intestinal symptoms often include nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, indigestion, and diarrhea. Other symptoms can include swelling of the tongue, lips, or throat; asthma, with coughing or wheezing; itchy or runny nose and sneezing; loss of blood pressure; and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis, a very severe allergic reaction.
While it's possible that a patient experiencing these symptoms is having an allergic reaction to food, there may be other causes in the works. We can run a skin test to be sure that these symptoms are caused by a food allergy before a treatment plan can be discussed. In the skin test, we look for particular allergies by scratching the patient's skin with a toothpick like tool containing a tiny sample of the potential allergen. The skin's reaction to the test will help us to determine if you are in fact allergic to the food in question or if their symptoms may be caused by something else.
If you do have a food allergy, it is the result of their body's immune system over-reacting to food proteins. Normally the immune system protects the body against allergic reactions; however, in the individual with a food allergy, the immune system produces increased amounts of the allergic antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE). When these antibodies combine with food proteins, histamine and other chemicals are released as part of the body's immune reaction. The release of these chemicals can result in the symptoms mentioned earlier.
Avoidance is key in the treatment of food allergies. However, avoiding trigger foods isn't always a guarantee. Accidents happen and it's always smart to have a backup plan. For those with mild allergies, oral antihistamines can be quite helpful. For those with severe reactions, keep an EpiPen handy at all times. If you have any questions or want to be tested for allergies, please give our office a call!Tweet
Skin Test
Walking into our office for the first time, some people might not know what to expect.
One of the first things that needs to be done is to identify what allergies you suffer from. This is where the skin test comes in. A skin test is a simple procedure that allows us to assess what you may be allergic to and then create a treatment plan that is tailored specifically for you. Because everyone has specific allergy triggers, knowing what you are allergic to as early as possible is important to determine an effective treatment plan.
You may be asked to stop taking antihistamines or other decongestant drugs prior to your visit. Some drugs may interfere with the results of the skin test and prevent us from getting the most accurate (and helpful) assessment for you.
A skin test takes approximately two to three hours from start to finish. A series of tiny scratches are made on the surface of the back. The scratches are conducted with a small instrument similar to a plastic toothpick, which contains trace amounts of a single allergen, such pollen or mold. If you are indeed allergic to any of the allergens, a small mosquito bite-like bump will appear.
But are there any side effects? It is highly unlikely that you will experience any side effect beyond the small bump to the tests that you are allergic to. The size and redness of the bump will depend on the severity of your allergy. Some mild itching may occur, but a topical cream can be applied to reduce any discomfort. This type of reaction is normal and typically clears up in about 20 minutes.
Following the skin test, we will review the results with you and determine the treatment plan that is best for your profile. The skin test is just the first step in seeking relief from allergies. Further care includes trigger avoidance, medications and check-ups. Schedule an appointment with us today and take the first step towards diminished allergy symptoms.Tweet
Asthma Triggers
It is estimated that 25 million people in the United States are currently living with asthma. That equals out to one in every 12 people or about 8% of the population. That's a lot of people. But for a disease that is so common, symptoms and triggers can be confusing. Let's shed some light on asthma.
Asthma Symptoms
The symptoms of asthma can be vast and varied but typically include shortness of breath, wheezing while breathing, tightness in the chest and excessive or painful coughing. If you experience any of these symptoms, be sure to visit your allergist to determine causes and triggers. Left untreated, allergies can also develop into asthma. Be safe and consult your allergist early on.
Symptoms of an asthma attack are caused by constriction (tightening of the muscles) and inflammation (swelling and irritation) of the airways. During an attack the muscles around the airways spasm, the mucosal membrane lining the airways gets inflamed, and excessive amounts of mucus flow in the airways all contributing to the narrowing of the airway. This increases constriction and makes breathing very difficult.
Types of Asthma and Causes
Depending on each person, asthma attacks can be caused by either internal and/or external triggers. Asthma is commonly categorized by symptom triggers. These categories include:
Allergic Asthma triggered by allergic reactions to allergens such as pet dander, dust or dust mites, mold or pollen.
Seasonal Asthma triggered by seasonal allergic reactions to allergens such as trees, grasses, or weeds.
Non-Allergic Asthma triggered by irritants in the air that you breathe such as tobacco smoke, wood smoke, room deodorizers, fresh paint, and perfume.
Exercise-Induced Asthma triggered by exercise or physical activity.
Nocturnal Asthma can occur in a patient with any of the aforementioned types of asthma, though the asthma symptoms will increase or worsen at night.
Asthma is the most common chronic illness among children. If a child's asthma is left untreated, it can result in loss of sleep, exercise limitations, absenteeism, emergency room visits and, in a few cases, death. Asthma in both adults and children can be effectively managed with medications and "trigger" avoidance.
Receiving medical help for asthma is essential. If you're concerned that you or a loved one is showing signs of asthma, please consult your allergist. Live in the NYC area, call my office to arrange a consultation, (212) 247-7447Tweet

This time, Paul Collingwood stayed around to complete the job. This time, there were no lapses in concentration, no forcing shots which might prove calamitous. He was there at the end as England somehow survived, nine wickets down, and drew the first Test against South Africa.
At Cardiff, five months ago, Collingwood's prolonged resistance against Australia was finally broken much to his self-disgust. If he was still blaming himself, he atoned fully yesterday.
"It's fair to say Cardiff was in the back of my mind most of the time," said Collingwood. "It's very satisfying to get the draw and it was very nice to be there at the end because it's certainly better than watching from the changing rooms."
Collingwood's rearguard action yesterday dawned dramatically. England were 172 for four when he came to the wicket and he immediately, quietly dropped anchor. But then came the second new ball. The damage was immediate and, for England, it seemed terminal. "I guess that sort of situation is more suited to the way I play," said Collingwood. "It's satisfying knowing you have done it for the team but I'd rather not have those situations at all."
He paid tribute to his Durham colleague Graham Onions, who kept out the final over to deny South Africa victory after five England wickets fell for 13 runs in 11 overs of mayhem. "I knew he could hold a bat and he was very calm and relaxed," said Collingwood. "He played straight and when he got his bat on one that scuttled I knew he could do it. He's been bragging that he's got the best bat in the dressing room and I shouted down the pitch a time or two to remember that."
The blade looked as impassable as Collingwood's had over almost three hours of deadpan vigilance, and the joyful embrace at the end was entirely understandable.
Graeme Smith, South Africa's captain, said: "I was delighted with the way we kept going and although I'm a bit frustrated not to have taken the last wicket, I can't be disappointed."
The match was a wonderful tribute to Test cricket, as Andrew Strauss, England's captain, observed. "Every time Test cricket gets an advertisement like that is a good thing at the moment and it was great to see how the crowd was enthralled by what was unfolding. Hopefully there will be more games like that to come in the series." If there are, the nerves may not be up to it.

Founded in 2010, Operation Supply Drop (TAX ID: 27-3842517) works to build lasting networks with the larger community to drive mutual support for today's active duty military, their families and the veteran population.
Organizational Values
Service First & Always: Operation Supply Drop believes in service to others which is paramount to individual purpose and success in our overall mission
Show, Don't Just Tell: Words can be powerful and shared wisdom strong, but both cannot compare to the value of taking someone by the hand and showing them the way. Additionally, We expect impact through action to excel in our mission, the level of which is in direct correlation to individual passion and ability.
Know Your Role: Staff or Volunteer, inside and outside of the organization, everyone in the Operation Supply Drop Family has a valuable role; Learn it, Know it, be excellent. Surround yourself with those better than you in an effort to be better.
Lead with a Cause: Operation Supply Drop will lead the Veteran Support Conversation, working with any individual or organization sharing the same vision and passion to support our veterans.
Be Here, Now: We are present. We respect and enjoy the moment with those we are with, when and where we are with them.
Origin Story
Operation Supply Drop was founded in 2010 initially on delivering "Video Game Care Packages Overseas" in response to a growing need from our deployed troops desiring generationally relevant gear from back home. As we grew and these service members began to return home facing various transitional challenges, we adapted to address the underlying needs of these veterans and their families. Today's Operation Supply Drop is a direct reflection of listening to those we serve and while the video games are still being provided by the thousands to our active-duty personnel, we've developed substantial programming to work with veterans through their transition and into finding their new "tribe." All of our programs directly touch on Mental Health, Homeless and Employment for Veterans and their families sitting atop of a global community structure encouraging community service and accountability to one's peers.
Where does the name "Operation Supply Drop" come from?
We use "Operation" to signify that service requires a deliberate set of actions. While "Supply Drop" held a different meaning in the earlier days of our organization, it has come to metaphorically represent the Airdrops or "Supply Drops" in current/past conflicts and also humanitarian in nature. All of Operation Supply Drop's programs and services provide support when and where support is needed in the same vein as those supplies, via Airdrop, are provided to active-duty service members stuck behind enemy lines or to a remote population recovering from a natural disaster. We see the need and meet the need.

Though there are many individual regional cuisines in Italy, northern and southern Italian cuisines are primarily differentiated by the cooking fat and style of pasta commonly used. Northern Italian cuisine (other than on the coast) favors butter, cream, polenta, Mascarpone, Grana Padano, and Parmigiano cheeses, risotto and fresh egg pasta. Southern Italian cuisine tends toward Mozzarella, Caciocavallo and Pecorino cheeses, olive oil and dried pasta. Southern Italian cuisine also makes greater use of the ubiquitous tomato.
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons powdered gelatin
4 eggs, separated
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup ricotta cheese
Place the water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften.
In a bowl, beat the eggs yolks along with the sugar until light and frothy. Add the lemon juice and zest. Place the bowl over a double boiler and whisk until thick. Remove from the double boiler and whisk in the softened gelatin. Set aside.
Beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat the ricotta cheese until fluffy. Fold the ricotta cheese into the egg mixture. Gradually and gently fold in the egg whites. Pour mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for 6 hours before serving.

At 63, singer-songwriter Jackson Browne retains the lanky brown hair and honey singing tones of his youth. But what becomes of a folk poet in his sixth decade? The composer of "The Pretender," "Doctor My Eyes," "Take It Easy" and many other soulful hits now spends much of his time giving back to the causes close to his heart – arts education, the environment and anti-nuclear activism.
On June 9 he will perform a benefit at the Orpheum Theater in downtown L.A. to support Success Through the Arts Foundation with jazz musician Wayne Shorter and Lizz Wright. He sat down for a rare interview with Wrap editor in chief Sharon Waxman to talk about creativity, politics and a body of work that has permanently marked American music. (Video excerpts below.)
More information about the concert here.
Do you feel like you're in your 60s? You look like you've hardly aged, and I saw you on stage recently -- you were playing with 20 year olds. I'm lucky. I have fun. I think that I look young -- that's the joke of it. People don't tell young people that they look young. If you ever get told that you look young, it's because you're old.
But don't you also feel that you've lived through a particular age of creativity? There was a certain time when a certain thing was happening, and that is obviously still happening. I meet all these younger players who are very much in tune to all the great music conceived. If you try real hard, you can hear a lot of it.
Were you able to write the music you made because you were surrounded by people who were all working at such a high level? The Laurel Canyon community? I was welcomed by some really formidable, talented people. And I was nurtured. It had nothing to do with marketing or being made famous. At a certain point, I also had the benefit of being managed by David (Geffen), who would say, "Look, if you don't know, nobody knows."
About what? About anything. "You know all you need to know about what you're doing, you just go in and do it. You can do it."
One of the things I'd heard about you is that your singing voice is something that you weren't happy with. It's true. I always wanted to be a singer, and I'm still working on it. I think that on that subject I'll just say that I've learned how to present what I do well and keep out of sight -- for the most part -- the stuff that isn't ready. Don't show 'em what you can't do; show 'em what you can do.

On these songs that are so enduring -- "The Pretender," "Doctor My Eyes," and I can go down the list -- which came first: the words or the music? A little bit of the words, a little bit of the music. Then two more words, a bunch more music. Eventually you've got a verse and a structure that you'd written that you now need to write the rest of the words to. So you can write words to music that exists because that's what you do every time you write the second, third, fourth and fifth verses of the song. But in the beginning you're constructing.
One of them has to come first; they can't come together. They come both ways. But it's harder to write words to music that exists. It's easier to have a thought come to mind and start to see this idea and it starts taking form because of the way it sounds when you sing it. It really happens a lot that you get a line and then you start singing music to that line or you have a thought -- you have an idea, like a phrase in your head -- like "Late for the Sky."
That started with that phrase? It was a two-minute conversation. I was saying to someone I was late for my flight, and I said: "I'm late for my flight, I'm late for the sky." I was remembering it later and went: "That's a cool line; that could be a song." You really even have that imagery of that being the end of the song, you're saying that "running for that morning flight, through the whispered promises and the changing light of the bed where we both lie. Late for the sky."
How long does that take you? (Chuckles) It took a long time. My wife said: "This is pretty, what's this called?" And I only had the first half, and I said: "It's called 'Late for the Sky.'" She said: "'Late for the sky'? What does that mean?" And I said: "I don't know, you're gonna have to wait." And she said: "Oh, really? This better be good."
That's supportive. She's great that way.
There's another beautiful song, "Fountain of Sorrow" That started with, "Looking through some photographs of friends inside a drawer. I was taken by a photograph of you."
That happened? I could show you the photograph. It was a great photograph of someone that I knew. What the story tells is exactly how that happened. I just started writing from the beginning and wrote it to the end.
Just the words? No, I made up a verse. But, you see, all those songs -- they're very long songs and the structure is long and the lines are long and there are lots of verses. There are a bunch of different movements; there's a chorus, and then there's a way in which the chorus becomes something else. I really changed that way I worked during "The Pretender" because I worked with a producer. I learned a lot from that producer.
How did you change? Well, I learned how to adapt to what was being played in the studio while it was being played and changing the songs as you learn more about the music -- instead of finishing it before you got to the studio. Before, they wouldn't even let you go into the studio unless the song's finished.
I don't really want the song to be finished before I go in. The last time I tried to finish a song and then take it into the studio -- it was probably about 10 years ago -- I was writing songs in Spain and came back. And right away, as soon as I started playing with my band I thought: "Oh, no! I don't want to hear that in this order."
And I couldn't. I had to hear the chorus sooner. But it's too hard to write words that you care about, then start throwing them out. (Chuckles) I don't like that! It's a lot of work.
So what did you do? I threw away the second verse and rewrote the whole song based on what I wanted to hear from the music group.
So "The Pretender," which is a magnum opus -- you wrote that in the studio? No. "The Pretender" was written over the period of about a year or longer, and when I was recording it, somebody started playing something that would necessitate changing it. Fortunately, I only had to add some lyrics. It was like this great musical thing that, if they played it with this particular rhythm, needed to be sung.
Can you tell me what was behind this one song that I sing to myself when I'm having a really hard day -- "Jamaica"? This is a perfect demonstration of how songs work. I made up a little fable; I wrote this song for a girl that I was seeing. She worked for an organic farmer near the ocean.
I really liked this girl, but I barely knew her -- there was nothing really to say. And I realized that I was really telling the story of a relationship that I'd just ended that had gone on for three or four years, about a girl who was going full sail and moving out into her life.
She and I were lovers in this little cocoon of our relationship. She busted out of this, and she was going out with people who I admired. She was going out with really accomplished men. That's what's going on in the song. And I didn't know that until I wrote the song. I thought I was writing about this girl who I'd just met, who I barely knew, but I was really kind of mourning this other woman.
The one who sailed away? Yeah. One of the things that you get pleasure out of a song is the way that language gets used. And like you were saying, "and we would sail until our waters have run dry," we're talking about sailing in an ocean and of the water and the fact that we're made out of water.
There's something really lovely and sexual about the song, especially because we're hiding from the children. This playground of your sexuality and the way the world is somehow a threat to that. And yet, you move out into the world and you do the best you can.
One of the problems with the girl that I was so in love with was when she went to go live with me, we lived in the very poor part of town, and she was a real target. It was hard for her to get to and from our house. She took a ride from someone that was dangerous. Sometimes she got picked up by a really scary guy, because you could still hitchhike up to a point in L.A. and Orange County and parts of the country.
Were you living in Laurel Canyon? No, I was living in Echo Park. I'm 20, and she was 19 and gorgeous. It was dangerous for her. Plus, I was hiding in her. You do that sometimes. Sometimes you decide you'll take refuge in the good, gracious enthusiasm that another person has for you and the love and the nurturing that somebody gives you. She was a fantastic girlfriend, and I still love her.
Do you want to say who she is? No, but I'll tell you the other song I wrote for her was "My Opening Farewell." And that's also about ... it was a long breakup (laughs). Sometimes there are people in life that you write more than one song about, or for. For that matter you might write a song 10 years later and not realize who it was for and then you realize: "Oh, I'm still talking about that. I'm still talking to that thing."
Songwriting is a way of excavating your understanding. It's one way of talking about what matters, and eventually you can see what it is that's coming up.
Are you involved in the presidential campaign? No, I'm not. Actually I sort of turned a corner and decided that one of the problems in our political system is the money. However, I'm involved politically, and I'm very interested in the Occupy (Wall Street) movement.
I'm very interested in what people do individually and in groups, and it wouldn't and shouldn't be a fucking surprise to anybody that I'm going to vote for Obama -- but honestly Obama once again has joined the ranks of the lesser of two evils. The great parade of people that the progressives get to vote for who are the lesser of two evils and who don't really represent what I believe in any overwhelming balance.
But you're not gonna -- No, I'm not going to raise money for people who don't really... Look, Obama told me in a personal conversation that he wasn't up for any new (nuclear) plants. Obviously, he changed his mind at some point. But what a surprise that one of his main supporters is the energy company, Exelon -- which has nuclear plants -- and that he would suddenly change his policy.
I don't know what we would expect. He's just as a beholden to the people who put him in office as any of the Republicans would be. But what's a mystery to me is how he installed pretty much the exact same infrastructure in his administration that deals with finances as the administration that we thought we voted out. That's really a shocker.
It's a game of chicken. So I'm not going to participate. Every day it's like a fever. Like, "Oh my God, if we don't have $27,000 by tonight the DCC won't think we're being effective." I mean I'm sorry, I can't.
You supported John Edwards on the last campaign? Actually I supported Obama, then John Edwards. His issues and his approach, his policies seemed to be better on poverty and on nuclear power; he published a pamphlet about what exactly he would do. Obama didn't tell anyone what he would do or what he wouldn't do, basically. He played that very close to the chest.
But apart from John Edwards's suitability -- his presumed suitability -- as a leader, his policy made more sense to me, and he was willing to say what he would do. And I did campaign for him. And when he wasn't the candidate I went back to supporting Obama.
Were you angry at John Edwards? No. It's not for me to be angry at him. And I don't like your question, actually. It's not the issue. I'm certainly disappointed but it's really kind of a moot point. He wasn't the candidate. He wasn't selected to run because of improprieties in his personal life or in his campaign. His ideas were not selected to run.
Do you read a lot of political news -- newspapers? I read the New York Times, I read the Nation, and I read the New Yorker. I like Harper's. There are a whole bunch of smaller journals, like the Washington Spectator -- stuff like that.
But you're not an online junkie? I don't like that as much, no. Because it's just analysts, and it's a big time drain.
Let's talk about this benefit. Why have you devoted so much of your life to causes that may seem impossible, like nukes, and even more obscure causes, like the arts? Well I don't think it's obscure at all because every community in America is struggling to keep arts education alive. I've done benefits for the arts in Oregon, Arizona, California and New York. People want their children to study music and drama and the arts. But it's the first thing that's cut.
Now, why have I done these things? I think I gravitated there because I met some people about 20 years ago that were struggling to get the same resources that the more affluent side of town was experiencing without any trouble. In the meantime, the affluent side of town was also having cuts in their budget. But people in South Central (L.A.) were already struggling to provide instruments and have plays. So I was working in South Central before I worked in Santa Monica.
How so? I was paired with a bandleader from South Central by a mentoring organization called the Fulfillment Fund, and what they really do is they pair business professionals with promising students who live in at-risk communities. But you can't put that on stage at a fundraiser, so they needed someone to exemplify the principle.
So they got somebody who wanted to play with a high-school band, and I meet Fernando Pullum (the bandleader) -- that was about 18 years ago -- and I also met a man named Fred Martin who had a choir in another school. It was a black jazz band orchestra and a black gospel choir singing all my songs and we were supposed to be mentoring, but I'm the one that got mentored.
Some of these kids would come to my gigs in Boston because now they're going to the Berklee College of Music. And they actually knew the singers in my band because they came from the gospel choir and they went to school with those girls, so there was a lot of cross-pollination going on.
You've been doing it for so many years now. Well every time I see Fernando's students play, they're completely different individuals. His record is astounding: 100 percent of his students go to college. And they go on to be professionals.
And when you meet them, they probably have no idea of who you are. They don't know my music.
Is that weird? No, not at all. It's what you would expect. For one thing, they're studying jazz. For another thing, my music was more popular 20-30 years ago. And they're also black.
You've also been involved in the environment, in energy ...
That's typical of my generation, I think.
How do you feel when you look back at the nuclear movement and how you might have impacted that and you see where we're at today? Well, the anti-nuclear movement is still alive because they haven't solved any of the problems that are posed by nuclear power -- and the fact that there were no plants built over a 30-year period is a testament to the fact that it's so dangerous.
We have a different perspective today than in 1975. We're at a point where we need a lot of energy on the planet. We're spewing dirty oil and gas and subsidizing these oil-rich countries. The idea that nuclear power is clean and safe has been revived. But it's not clean if you count in the costs of mining the uranium and transporting the waste and the fact that these plants raise the temperature in every one of the rivers that they operate in. It's not actually what they say it is. Flat out.
I've got this great Jules Pfeiffer pin that simply says, "They lie." They do, they lie. In 50 years, the nuclear industry has not been able to pay for itself in the marketplace. Nor has it figured out a way to dispose of the waste. In 50 years of operation.

Whicker: O.C. player knows difference between football, combat
SANTA ANA – Twenty months ago, the current captain of Santa Ana College's football team was a sergeant.
Nate Cox has stared at the ceiling, wondering whatever propelled him to Marine boot camp.
He has been handed a signup sheet for five months of Afghanistan duty, just two months from the finish line.
He has landed a rescue helicopter in the highlands of southern Afghanistan, a wounded Marine on one side, Taliban guns on the other.
He is 26 and he's surrounded by 18-, 19-year olds, some as aimless as he used to be.
"You'll hear them talk about how they might want to go into the military," said Santa Ana coach Geoff Jones, amused.
"So Nate tells them, look, here's what it's really like. And most of them turn away. But some don't."
Junior college football is filled with searchers, drifters, late bloomers. Not all that many leaders.
"Here's a guy who's on time for everything," Jones said, "because that's who he is."
Cox began as a linebacker but is now on the defensive line. He is a near-perfect student whom Jones says "would be perfect at a place like UC Davis, not that he can't play anywhere."
Cox himself is playing for a quaint and maybe unique reason these days. He likes it.
"I hadn't played football since high school," he said, referring to his days in Plainview, Ind., outside Indianapolis. "I hadn't done anything in five years, except running long distances with a pack on."
He came to Huntington Beach with a buddy, after his discharge, because he figured there were more opportunities here. He had no trouble selling himself to Jones.
Cox is still a squad leader. He, of all people, knows that it's just football, but when the pads start popping, he starts to feel responsible for everyone.
"The camaraderie is very similar," he said. "But when a lot of people say, 'Hey, you're on the field, you're in a battle,' I say, 'Yeah, whatever. Because you've never been there.'"
Cox came within two months of not being there.
He had been accepted at Indiana State, but he wasn't looking forward to it. When a Marine recruiter came to his high school, Cox felt an unfamiliar pull. He was off to basic training in San Diego.
"If I'd gone to school I'm sure I would have been back home before long," he said. "I didn't have much direction. I'd lost one of my best friends in an auto accident. I didn't really know what to do."
He suffered the usual buyer's remorse at boot camp, but then adjusted to an infantryman's life. He had toured the world — Djibouti, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand — training his own troops, working humanitarian assignments, guarding embassies, cooperating with foreign forces.
"In my mind I was done, but then we got to Hawaii on our ship and they gave us a sign-up sheet," he said.
"There were 180 volunteers they needed for Afghanistan. Some of my guys wanted to go. But there was no way I could have let them go and be led by someone else. I had trained them. I couldn't have lived with that."
Cox never had seen a dead person before Afghanistan. He saved some lives, couldn't save others. The Taliban knew the U.S. forces sent up smoke to help locate the victims. It would set its own deceptive fires.
"The worst scenario was picking up a little girl," he said sadly. "One of our squads had been in a firefight with Taliban guys. Little kids were in the street playing soccer. One of the Taliban fired an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade), and the back blast, all the pressure that comes out of it, she was behind it.
"I still don't know if she made it. She was alive then, but she had TBI (traumatic brain injury) ... her eyes were all swelled up. Her dad was with her, and you feel bad, but I had to stop him, search him, get him in the helicopter, he's trying to hold her hand. That was a tough one."
Cox is holding no seminars on the value of the Afghan war.
"Was it working? In certain areas it was," he said. "But you'd clear areas, and the Taliban would move right back.
"My opinion is that the people there don't necessarily want what we want. They don't want the Taliban, but it's a different world. I didn't see TV or running water. You just try to build rapport with the elders in those towns. But whether it's working as a whole, honestly, it's irrelevant to a sergeant in the Marine Corps. You're trying to do the job in that little town. That's all you have time for."
Mission No. 1 was to do what he could to bring 180 guys back alive. And Cox did that.
Now he plays.

Requesting approval for Aurora (Firefox 7) and Beta (Firefox 6). This is a two-line mobile-only change (zero desktop risk). It's very low risk (just changes one CSS selector in the mobile chrome to be more specific) and fixes a visible regression in Firefox 6. It landed on mozilla-central today, so can be tested on the Nightly channel tomorrow.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Apparently someone in my son's class took a video of the teacher during class and the teacher found out. She thought it was my son. She took his cell phone and ipod and gave it to the assistant principal of the school (my son did not do it). The assistant principal looked through all my son's photo's. There were nude photo's of my son and his girl friend. (these pictures were taken with the phone and were never sent) He called me and my son for a meeting and inberest my son and laughed. He kept the phone for 2 days and called (CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES) on me. He also tried forcing my son to tell the girlfriend's name, even though she does not go to the same school, and told him that he might be arrested for child pornography. He ended up not calling the police, but I got a visit from CPS.
Not worth a lawsuit, but it was lucky you dodged the bullet for a criminal charge.

Mandy Erin Photography is a husband and wife photographer team based in South Bend, Indiana near the University of Notre Dame. We are willing to travel to Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, or anywhere in between. We love what we do and it comes across in each picture that we take. Consider us for your next big event or for your next family portrait.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
Such a difficult question! We loved all the photos, but ultimately, I think the ones of our wedding mass were our favorites. The church we got married in has high ceilings which created some interesting light in the church. Mandy and her husband utilized the space and lighting so well, and the pictures inside the church look truly exquisite.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
We never felt like we were being "disrupted". Everything was well organized and well timed. My husband and I loved how delicate and graceful our pictures from the mass look, and we also loved how candid and lively our pictures from the reception look. Truly, they "captured the moment" in the photos.
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
We received digital copies of our photos on two CDs (that had pictures of us printed on them! :) ). We had two photographers from 3 p.m. to I think 9 or 10? I liked that we could choose the times in which we wanted the photographers to come. Mandy came to my (the bride's) house and her husband went to my husband's hotel room. We felt like we were able to document the whole day really well.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
My husband and I had originally decided to have our pictures taken by a good friend of ours (with her husband). They, however, had to go on a family vacation and were unable to attend. I was a little bummed and searched online for another local photographer. I knew I had found something good when I came across Mandy's website. For those of you who don't know, wedding photographers can be really expensive, but Mandy Erin Photography is a GREAT price. Really, I poked around for some time and some of the prices are downright ridiculous! My husband and I felt totally comfortable with Mandy and her husband, and received BEAUTIFUL pictures that we (and the rest of our family) love. We got married in January at night when light was at a minimum and it was bitter cold, and Mandy and her husband still managed to get some gorgeous photos.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
I have about a 100 favorite photos! You know you have a great photographer when your pictures turn out so well that you can't pick one favorite.
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
Every type of photo turned out wonderful! I've seen friend's wedding pictures (not done by Mandy) and the candid shots were ok--I could have taken them. But Mandy Erin Photography's captured the essence of the day. The reception was a great party and they captured every aspect of it!
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
Mandy Erin Photography's wedding photo package was the BEST I found in town, hands down. We actually had signed with a different photographer in the beginning. But when we saw Mandy's pictures online and the quality we had to switch. For $50 less that the first photographer we signed with, we got TWO photographers, the copyrights to the pictures, and CD's with the pictures on them. 2 photographers for $1100 is unheard of in South Bend. The best thing about Mandy and Eric was that they were very personable and enhanced the fun of the day. Being a married photographer duo, they kind of fed of each other to get the right pictures and were very positive working together. Also, we received the CD's with the pictures on them within 2-3 weeks!
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Mandy and Eric are so sweet to begin with. They functioned well together and made everything flow with ease. One of my favorite memories of Mandy is when the girls and I were getting ready downstairs before the ceremony in the church. Mandy comes into the room and let's me know in the calmest, sweetest voice that there was a 'button snafu' with my husband's tux. It made me chuckle because she said it in a way to make me not stress but it was so calm and sweet I had to laugh :) I think she was worried about how I would react but what was there to stress about? My husband was at the church wanting to marry his best friend, the reception site was taken care of, and we knew we had the best photographers to capture the memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Mandy and Eric!! I recommend them to all my friend's getting married! You're missing out on high quality pictures for an awesome rate if you decide to go with someone else than Mandy Erin Photography!
What was your favorite wedding photo?
Really, it is too difficult to pick just one favorite. They were all great, but our favorite pictures were taken at Notre Dame. The candid photos they took were awesome!
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
Mandy and Eric met with us prior to the wedding to discuss the pictures we wanted to get. They made a list of special concerns and used the lists the day of the wedding. They were flexible on the day of the wedding as well.
Our candid photos are some of our favorites. There are several photos of us between poses that really capture our feelings and the mood of the day. They listened to our suggestions and made things we wanted work. They were very flexible!
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
Our package included shooting time prior to the wedding ceremony and through most of the reception. We received CDs with the rights to print pictures. They gave us over 900 pictures from our wedding day! We had two photographers on the day of the wedding. We were concerned with some lighting issues at our venue, so they even took the time to come out to our rehearsal. I am sure their standard packages come a bit different, but we did not take engagement pictures.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
Mandy and Eric are both great people. They are very nice people and were very fun to work with! They were able to take our pictures without being intrusive. They knew what they were doing and with the exception of posing us for some of the pictures, we hardly knew they were shooting. Our pictures turned out wonderful and I am so happy that we were able to get Mandy and Eric for our wedding! I would recommend them to anyone for weddings, family pictures, engagement....ANYTHING!

Aid workers in Johannesburg are struggling to feed and shelter the thousands of immigrants who have fled a wave of xenophobic attacks in which 24 people have been killed.
The Institute for Race Relations, a respected think-tank, blames the ANC government and President Thabo Mbeki for the violence, the worst South Africa has seen since the dying days of apartheid. Its chief executive, Frans Cronje, said corruption, failing law and order, economic mismanagement and lack of proper border controls "contributed to create a perfect storm of lawlessness, poverty and unfulfilled expectations which has now erupted into violence".
Armed gangs were continuing their attacks on refugees around the financial capital last night as Mr Mbeki prepared to fly to Tanzania for a conference.
Members of his administration claimed a shadowy "third force" was at work. They declined to say what that force was but blamed armed, drunken criminals for the violence. A spokesman said the National Intelligence Agency had joined the investigation into the causes of the attacks which erupted in the Alexandra township 11 days ago.
Since then, refugees from Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi among other African nations have been shot at, burnt, raped, beaten and driven from their homes to seek protection at police stations and community halls.
Police have called in help from neighbouring provinces but as of last night, soldiers remained in their barracks.
The authorities estimate that about 10,000 people have fled their homes in townships, squatter camps and poorer suburbs in and around Johannesburg.
In one attack yesterday, a mob stormed a hostel in Reiger Park, east of the city, in their hunt for foreign workers. They found four Mozambican men who were working in the mines. One was beaten to death in his room and the other three dragged outside and beaten with metal poles before being dragged to nearby grassland and left for dead. By the time paramedics arrived, one had died. The other two were taken to hospital, but their condition was unclear last night.
The institute said: "The failure to protect communities from criminal elements and to remove those elements had allowed criminals to take full advantage of chaos and disorder to rob, rape, and loot. The collapse of proper border control mechanisms saw literally millions of people gaining entry to South Africa illegally. Poor policy decisions and simple incompetence in border policing therefore contributed directly to the presence of a large illegal population in South Africa. Without adequate legal standing in the community these people became easy or soft targets for mob violence."
An estimated five million refugees live in South Africa, 3.5 million of whom are believed to be Zimbabweans fleeing violence and economic chaos under Robert Mugabe. Gangs targeting refugees claim immigrants get preferential housing treatment, taking scarce jobs and committing crime.
The opposition Democratic Alliance again called on the government to mobilise troops to bring order. Jack Bloom, the party's leader in Gauteng province where the killings are taking place, said soldiers from two military bases could easily be deployed.
"President Thabo Mbeki is notoriously allergic to admitting that even the most obvious crisis is a crisis, so yet again people die because he is out of touch with reality, both here and in Zimbabwe," Mr Bloom said.
President Mbeki who is due to fly to Tanzania today for a two-day meeting of the African Union, has condemned the violence. He said: "Citizens from other countries on the African continent and beyond are as human as we are and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. South Africa is not and will never be an island separate from the rest of the continent."
Testimony of a reluctant witness
Yesterday, I witnessed a nightmare take place in broad daylight. Mobs hunting down foreigners, setting up roadblocks. They were cornering people, beating them up, and when they were done, they stole anything of value they had. I never thought it wouldbe my turn to pack up and move to a friend's house. But it's a crisis when you look outside your window and see someone running for his life, watch while they are cornered, then beaten almost to death with a brick, and the attackers laugh, as if it were all just a game. For an hour I heard the sounds of women screaming and babies crying while they raided the building next to me. I could not watch any more. No one should. You should never be allowed to watch an individual's dignity taken away from them. It kills outright the belief and trust you have in people. So what's next? You will probably have one less Zimbabwean at your office. But spare a thought for the gardener, the waiter and maid who wait on you because a lot of them are also from Zimbabwe. They are here because they don't have a choice. What they once valued has been taken away from them.
