Otitis media (OM) is the most common disease seen in pediatric practice and is recognized as a multifactorial disease with complex and interrelated genetic, environmental and infectious etiologies. The long- term objectives of our research group are to elucidate the contribution of infectious pathogens, and their complex interactions with other OM risk factors in the pathogenesis of and recovery from acute otitis media (AOM), and to identify possible strategies for more effective prevention and/or treatment. We have recently found an important association between proinflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms (TNF1-308 and IL- 6-174) and increased OM susceptibility, and possible modifying effects of environmental factors such as breastfeeding (BF) and cigarette smoke exposure (CSE) on OM susceptibility in polymorphic individuals. During the next funding period, we propose to study further the pathogenesis of virus-induced AOM, specifically on the mechanisms by which genetic risk factors (as represented by TNF1-308 and IL- 6-174 polymorphisms) render the host OM susceptible and whether environmental factors could modify OM risks in children with genetic predisposition.
Aim 1 : Perform a prospective, case-control study of 300 infants with and without TNF1-308 polymorphism followed to the first AOM episode up to 1 year of age. Subjects will be screened for the gene polymorphism;equal number of polymorphic and normal infants (matched for gender and race) will be enrolled into the study within the first month of life. The dynamics of nasopharyngeal bacterial colonization in the first 6 mos. of life will be studied;symptomatic URI episodes will be monitored for AOM complication. Information on BF, CSE, and DC attendance will be collected prospectively and updated continuously. Incidence of AOM in the first year of life (per cent of cases with at least one episode in the first year) will be compared between polymorphic and normal children groups;modifying effects of environmental risk factors on bacterial colonization, incidence of viral URI and AOM will be assessed. Sample size will also be adequate for parallel comparison between IL- 6-174 polymorphic and normal children.
Aim 2 : Investigate further the association between several other cytokine/ chemokine gene polymorphisms and OM susceptibility. Archived and new DNA samples from the proposed Study 1 (from OM-susceptible and non-OM susceptible children, n=800) will be tested for 11 cytokine/ chemokine gene polymorphisms using the state-of-the-art microarray technique. Gene polymorphisms will be associated with OM susceptibility;data mining will be used to analyze complex data. Information generated from our studies will be important to public health as it will lay the ground work for the design of innovative approaches to prevent OM, especially in children born with genetic predisposition and those exposed to OM environmental risks.
Otitis media is a highly prevalent disease in infants and children. This study is relevant to public health because information to be generated will be the basis for the design of innovative approaches to prevent otitis media, especially in children born with genetic predisposition and those exposed to OM environmental risks.

Rapp shells out $800to help Crime Stoppers Precinct 4 Constable Shane Rapp could be expected to be pro-law enforcement. After all, that's his job. But Thursday, he was honored for reaching into his wallet and spending nearly $800 to purchase software to help Comal County/New Braunfels Crime Stoppers purchase software that will make its tip line more effective. The software will be used by the Crime Stoppers answering service to log calls and ask the kinds of questions of anonymous callers that will lead to arrests and indictments — and to rewards for those who help. Crime Stoppers President, Teresa Nitschke, said Rapp's help was important to the program. "In the midst of everyone trying to figure out how to pay for it, Shane said he'd buy it if Crime Stoppers paid for the hardware," Nitschke said. "We'd like to thank him for his dedication to our program." Rapp said helping out was easy. "Crime Stoppers is a great program, and its important to this community," Rapp said. "Whenever we can do something to support it, I think we need to do it."

Cuban Deported to Mexico Dismembered 17yr Old Girl
http://www.hellone arthblog.com/2012/ 02/cuban-deported- from-us-dismembers .html Henry Jose Puentes Padilla was arrested last week in connection with the murder of a missing teenage girl in Tijuana. He quickly confessed to killing and dismembering a 17 year old female who lived in the streets of Tijuana. He claims they had a relationship but he killed her after she refused to have sex with him. Itzel Jaqueline Fontes Ortiz, a native of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, was deaf and unable to speak. Ortiz sold bread on the streets of Tijuana for a living. She apparently met Puentes Padilla, who was 33 years old, on the streets and began some type of relationship with him. She had visited him at his house the day he killed her. Puentes Padilla cut the limbs off of Ortiz and spread them out in a Tijuana sewer. After the murder he apparently fled Tijuana for Mexicali. He was arrested there in a heavy drug trafficking zone. Reports have stated that Puentes Padilla was deported from the United States to Mexico. I am not sure how this is possible to deport someone to a country that is not their home country. I also do not know how it is possible to deport a Cuban who already lives in the United States. If he committed a crime he should have stayed institutionalized, and this young girl would still have her life. If anyone has any info on how or why he was deported from the US please contact me.

Tito the Bandito
May 22nd, 2009
Alright, everyone gather around the stereotype.
(submitted by Emily)
ROFL @ caption
thanks for today's longest laugh!
The only thing awkward about this photo is….the fact that they think they feel fine now….but later on that night in their cabins …Montezuma's Revenge will slowly sneak up on them from drinking the water !!! 🙂
Well, which is the "Bandito"? Dad, or the guy with the gun?
Meanwhile, the lady with the sunglasses just slid by and stole Dad's wallet.
What, you thought we wouldn't notice you, random blond lady?
Who's the bandito NOW?!
LMAO @ the caption.
so perfect.
Not a bad vacation photo but why is Jr.holding a purple purse?
Have Mexican will travel.
This site is an instant classic. I love the handgun. lol
i love how "fun ships" is in quotation.
is that borat in the background?
wow, just when i thought i had seen the mexican stereotype portrayed so perfectly well, i see this picture.
Nice! LOL
I've stood in that exact spot. Although instead of Tito, it was some poor guy dressed in a filthy dolphin costume.
Stereotype, hell. Look at the guy in the back. This was a freakin' family reunion! Separated at birth… I imagine the Carnival Cruise Lines paid for the reunion in return for some promotional photos.
crapola, i was thining the same thing! it's one interesting family mix!
How did this go down? Mom was like OMG kids look it its a real live Mex-EE-CAN now hurry so we can get a picture! My poor hubby died laughing at this one, being latino people sometimes expect him to say things like siiii sennoorr ish hard bein mmeee!
lol on the fake mustache! Go Tito, this was his first acting job!
Which mustache are you talking about? hehe
The girl in blue-is the shorter leg tanner than the other?
sadly, I think I know where that is
whats bad about Ensenada?
that place is awesome!
i freakin love that place!
Ok I believe he's a real mexican and he probably even pulled the poncho and sombrero out of his closet, but the moustache is FAKE! Don't believe me? look at the tall guy, he bought one at the same store when they were in port.
Actually the best part is that Tito's mustache is obviously fake, but the father's is REAL!!
Is Tito real, or a statue?
Holy cow! You over-sensitive whiners! "Ooh, a sssstereotype! I musssst say ssssomething! Ooh, the ssssocial injusssstice!"
You did notice this photo was taken in Mexico? Where a real, live Mexican is making money off of people doing what? Embracing his heritage. Go to Mexico and find some average guy who isn't proud of people like Pancho Villa and other bandits. Then they turn that pride into money from some dopey tourists.
Hmm, maybe that was the part you didn't like. The money making.
yea… thats all good if his heritage included plastic guns with neon caps. The moustache reminds me of family guy. wheres my money B*tch? how much that moustache cost you? thats my money
Geez, take a pill.
Holy molly, Elton John has a new band called "The Fun Ships"?

Mariah Carey, we may need to have an intervention about the size of the dresses you wear versus the size of your ample bosom. Because this is not the first (and probably not the last) time your lil' Mariahs have been released from their fabric prison.
On "Good Morning America" Friday (May 24), the songstress was on hand to perform as part of "GMA's" summer concert series in Central Park. During her pre-performance interview with Lara Spencer, suddenly Carey's dress just popped open.
"Oh s***. Now the back of my dress just popped. It popped. I love you, Donatella, but it popped, darling," says Carey, name-checking designer Donatella Versace.
We aren't sure it's the designer's fault.
Later, Carey had mic pack troubles during her performance. All in all, not a banner morning for the music superstar.

Are You Ready To Be Poured Out As an Offering? (1)
Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the work of another believer—to pour out your life sacrificially for the ministry and faith of others?

Are You Ready To Be Offered?
Are you willing to be offered for the work of the faithful - to pour out your life blood as a libation on the sacrifice of the faith of others? Or do you say - "I am not going to be offered up just yet, I do not want God to choose my work. I want to choose the scenery of my own sacrifice; I want to have the right kind of people watching and saying, 'Well done.'
"By the Grace of God I Am What I Am"
The way we continually talk about our own inabilities is an insult to our Creator. To complain over our incompetence is to accuse God falsely of having overlooked us.

By The Grace Of God I Am What I Am
The way we continually talk about our own inability is an insult to the Creator. The deploring of our own incompetence is a slander against God for having overlooked us. Get into the habit of examining in the sight of God the things that sound humble before men, and you will be amazed at how staggeringly impertinent they are. "Oh, I shouldn't like to say I am sanctified; I'm not a saint." Say that before God; and it means - "No, Lord, it is impossible for You to save and sanctify me; there are chances I have not had; so many imperfections in my brain and body; no, Lord, it isn't possible." That may sound wonderfully humble before men, but before God it is an attitude of defiance.
Shallow and Profound
Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God; they are ordained by Him equally as much as the profound. We sometimes refuse to be shallow, not out of our deep devotion to God but because we wish to impress other people with the fact that we are not shallow. This is…
Shallow And Profound
Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow concerns of life are not ordained of God; they are as much of God as the profound. It is not your devotion to God that makes you refuse to be shallow, but your wish to impress other people with the fact that you are not shallow, which is a sure sign that you are a spiritual prig. Be careful of the production of contempt in yourself, it always comes along this line, and causes you to go about as a walking rebuke to other people because they are more shallow than you are. Beware of posing as a profound person; God became a Baby.
Still Human!
In the Scriptures, the great miracle of the incarnation slips into the ordinary life of a child; the great miracle of the transfiguration fades into the demon-possessed valley below; the glory of the resurrection descends into a breakfast on the seashore. This is not an anticlimax, but a great revelation of God.
We have a tendency to look for wonder…
Still Human!
The great marvel of the Incarnation slips into ordinary childhood's life; the great marvel of the Transfiguration vanishes in the devil-possessed valley; the glory of the Resurrection descends into a breakfast on the sea-shore. This is not an anti-climax, but a great revelation of God.
"What Is That to You?"
One of the hardest lessons to learn comes from our stubborn refusal to refrain from interfering in other people's lives. It takes a long time to realize the danger of being an amateur providence, that is, interfering with God's plan for others. You see someone suffering and say, "He will not suffer, and I will make sure that he doesn't."…

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 1
How do you decide which athletes are paid? Is it just in revenue-producing sports? Is it every athlete playing in those sports or just the elite?
Here is the second big problem. Actually, it's probably the first, but I chose to focus on the issue of finances first. You cannot pay players without invoking Title IX. Safely assuming that any pay-for-play plan would include paying male football and basketball players, you run into huge issues with federal law. For a detailed breakdown of how Title IX impacts any pay-for-pay plan, see my analysis here.
The bottom line is that more money will have to be devoted to women's sports and it's highly likely it's men's sports outside of football and basketball that will suffer. And, again, where is all this money going to come from?
Even if Title IX weren't an issue (and let me just say, without revision to these federal laws, college athletes will never be paid), there are plenty of other problems standing between college athletes and their big pay day:
How much do you pay players? Is it one set amount for every athlete no matter the sport or the school in order to keep things fair? At least within a sport I think it has to be the same, otherwise schools with more money will have the advantage.
If you let athletes get paid for endorsements (which could avoid the first problem I outlined above), will it give some programs an unfair advantage? Playing for Alabama or Ohio State is bound to give you more endorsement opportunities (and more lucrative ones) than playing for Tulsa.
I see the same problem with allowing athletes to profit off merchandise sold with their name or number, like jerseys. Playing for Florida is going to give you greater opportunity to make money off merchandise than playing for Western Michigan.
Another way to pay players and avoid the first problem I outlined is to allow agents to pay players. Darren Heitner over at the Sports Agent Blog recently wrote a post advocating the lifting of all regulations against agents paying players. Heitner believes there would be no harm to the athletes from this situation and that it would allow the market to dictate what a player is worth.
Aside from the initial concerns I have regarding the influence these agents would have and the types of promises they could elicit from players about being paid back in the future, I have another bigger concern. Could these agents pay a player to choose a specific school? And what's to stop a big car dealership run by an alumni in Athens from slipping money to an agent so he can encourage a player to attend the University of Georgia?
Will sports that pay athletes have to break from the NCAA? I think so. Tack on new administrative costs as those sports are forced to form new leagues to manage their sport.
There are far too many serious questions to answer for me to jump on the pay-college-athletes bandwagon. Without even getting into whether college athletes should be paid, I just don't see a scenario where college athletes can be paid without allowing the gap to grow between the have and have-nots.

Heartbleed Bleeds On
According to a report, many potential victims of the Heartbleed attack have patched their systems, but few have cleaned up the crime scene to protect themselves from the effects of a previous intrusion.
The recent Heartbleed scare revealed that millions of servers around the world were vulnerable to an SSL-based attack that could compromise private keys and thus allow an intruder to break into supposedly encrypted and secure Internet services. Heartbleed was widely reported and was considered a wake-up call for software developers, webmasters, and security specialists to get serious about fixing broken software and keeping systems up to date.
But according to a study by Venafi Labs, the Heartbleed cleanup remains unfinished. The study investigated servers for 1,639 companies around the world and found that 99% had checked and patched the actual Heartbleed flaw, but only 3% had made the effort to change their original private key. If any of these servers using the previous private key were subject to a Heartbleed attack prior to the patch, they are still vulnerable.
In an interview with The Register, Venafi VP Kevin Bocek explains, "Mopping up after an incident isn't as simple as it used to be …. You can't just stick a patch on it and call it done."

Joanne Tinley Jewellery crafted is to last lifetimes, designed with care to be cherished and passed down the generations, yet intended to be worn every day. A gift of love, a precious reminder of the birth of a child, an 18th birthday treasure, or a simply a treat for yourself to celebrate how unique you are.
Each piece of jewellery is designed and created by Joanne Tinley in her Hampshire studio. Joanne uses traditional silversmithing skills, and larger pieces of work are hallmarked at Goldsmiths' Hall in London. Joanne's favourite technique is Keum Boo, a Korean technique that permanently bonds 24k gold to fine silver and it is this technique that she uses in her popular Golden Collection. Many of the textures that feature in the jewellery come from Joanne's growing collection of hammers, some of which are older than she is. Her favourite hammer gives the 'silver birch' texture that appears on many of her bangles, Woodland creatures and spinner rings.
Each piece of jewellery is beautifully presented in a chocolate brown box and ribbon. Gift messages can be handwritten on the tag, and items sent directly to the gift recipient at your request.

Hi all. I'm Monsterpony, but most often go by MP. I used to have feeder fish when I was younger (six 8" ones and their babies in a 55 gallon ...I know better now). I took over my roommate's tank in the beginning of October and stocked it with my dream of colorful schooling fish. I am now officially addicted, having just bought a new 75 gallon tank and may be getting a 92 gallon one tomorrow...eep! Being a vet student puts a hamper on my spending budget (I live on ramen noodles, but my fish are well fed ), but I have managed pretty well so far.

Apparel brand Alice + Olivia displays two videos on its site using Multipop's interactive video player. There are no overlays or pop-ups obscuring the video; instead shopping and social links appear on the sides, and can be changed.
Retailers are constantly competing for shoppers' time, attention and money, and while videos tend to keep shoppers on a retail site, creating good ones can be costly and time-consuming. A new video player called Multipop by Galahad is designed to extend the utility of retailer's videos and make them more appealing.
The player adds e-commerce functionality to videos without disrupting the video in the way that overlays and ads tend to do in other players, says Multipop founder Josh Lamb. YouTube, for example, places ads in semi-transparent boxes on top of videos to link to other sites, which customers must click to get rid of in order to see the full shot. The Multipop player puts shopping and social-sharing features on the side or below the video. Multipop by Galahad was developed by New Velocity Media, which produces technology for displaying content on the web and mobile devices.
Women's apparel and accessories brand Alice + Olivia is testing the new video player online. Its site features two videos that Alice + Olivia previously produced, but are now presented using the Multipop player. The player displays social media links to the left, clickable product listings to the right and pop-up product listings underneath the video if the consumer views the video in full-screen mode. As the video plays, each product featured in the video pops into place to the right and below the player so that a shopper can easily click to purchase. The listings also alert her to other relevant information, such as sale pricing and low inventory levels.
"With the Multipop Media Player, we can now give our customers a viewing experience that allows them to not only purchase the exact items they see on screen, but to also push tweets, posts, and more to their social networks. This has led to incredible results," says CEO and founder of Alice + Olivia Stacey Bendet.
And those results are easily measured, says Alice + Olivia chief marketing officer Buffy Sash. The two videos are both generating a 33% click-through rate, and most viewers watch each video twice through, Sash says.
"We wanted to differentiate our site from other sites that we sell on to give our customers a reason to come to us," Sash says. The Multipop player allows Alice + Olivia to show custom videos that it can update as it likes, for instance by changing the products that appear in the sidebar, which increases the longevity of a video. "We can keep the video up longer and can link to another product that is in stock, even if the video is out of season," she says.
We are now entering the third decade of the Amazon effect, and it is just ...

You show what it means for true beauty. It's not the outside that matters, it's the inside that does.
I love this! I actually wanted to write something like this a few weeks ago... Just didn't know how to put my thoughts into writing... This is brilliant, Rach! Who's that girl who dissed your style? She's so mean. Beauty is something that comes from within. People who only possess outer beauty, well, they're not worth mentioning. :)
Lol, there was actually no one who said anything about me, it just came to me. :) You wanted to right about this too? That's kinda funny, especially since you're a guy O.o Haha, thanks though. You made me smile. God always looks at the heart!

Great Decision
Pros: Comfortable ergonomic interior.
Cons: Big blind spots when backing upIn just over a year this thing has 'been everywhere and done everything'! A daily driver that has also seen off-road use, towed a small trailer, hauled camping gear,and carried a canoe as well as the whole family on longer road trips. Can't find anything not to love. Sync system is a BIG plus. Ride is awesome for an SUV/truck. 20,000 miles and not so much as a hiccup! Average 24 mpg overall.
Best Vehicle I've Ever owned and I've owned over 1
Pros: All features are great, no one favorite
Cons: Side view Mirrors & the Tinted back window.We have 2 Identical RX400h. That's how much we love it. I like the looks better that the newer RX450h.

Cons: getting use to driving a bigger carI went from a Camery to a cx9. it's taking some getting use to but overall i lke driving it much. The visibility is much better. it handles great on the road, IT'S GREAT.

In dedication to saywhat206
I've only just join this site,
yet your poems keep me up at night.
Your so sweet and kind to me,
it's like were some online family.
When you said you would dedicate a poem to me,
i giggled to myself gleefully.
I'm so honoured you chose to,
that i decided to write one just for you.
I hope you like this very much,
and remember my stories are always at your touch.
I decided to dedicate this just for you,
so that you would know the special feeling too!

My Reviews
Nutritional Yeast Powder
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Jun 04, 2011
I use this as a substitute for cheese. Mix it with chopped pumpkin seeds and a little salt and top off any hot or cold dish with it. Of course it doesn't taste exactly like parmigiano reggiano, but it almost fulfills my "cheese need". I'm looking forward to trying the flakes as well:)
Vitamin K-2
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Nov 15, 2011
I take these together with calcium and vitamin D3 to keep my bones healthy and strong, and to prevent cardiovascular disease. These are cheap but still seem to be of good quality. Will buy again.
Organic Just Cherries
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Feb 21, 2012
I purchased this bag together with a regular non-organic bag to be able to really compare them, and I actually taste the difference. These basically just taste a bit more than the non-organic ones. And they're not as pale/brownish in color like they appear to be in the picture. They have the exact same color as the non-organic ones. I like the crunchy texture and use them in homemade chocolate and other snacks. Tart/sweet taste as expected.
MCT oil
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Sep 22, 2011
This is the second time I've purchased this great, odorless, tasteless oil. Perfect to put in almost anything to sneak in some extra fatty acids - especially things like yogurt and smoothies. I've tried a few different brands of MCT oil and this seems to be of just as good quality as any other brand. I'm not quite sure if I've noticed any difference in energy levels or body temperature or anything like that, but I'll definitely keep on using this!
JobaColors Eye Liner
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Mar 28, 2012
This is truly black and has a soft almost creamy texture. This make it a little less smudge proof when applying until you get the hang of it. It is also a bit harder to remove with the makeup remover than the regular "dry" cheap stuff but I'm really happy with it now that I've gotten used to it and use it every day without feeling bad like I did when I was putting harsh chemicals so close to my eyes:)
An Excellent Toothpowder! I'm Hooked
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on May 04, 2015
I wet my toothbrush and then I put the bottle upside down completely vertically over the bristles and let the powder sort of just fall onto them (I might squeeze a little bit). This way I don't make a mess and don't use more than I need. And a little actually goes a long way with this. It has kind of a tart taste to it (apart from the mint taste) and also a taste of baking soda (obviously) so if you expect it to taste like your regular toothpaste you're probably going to be disappointed. I got used to the taste quite quickly though and now I don't really mind it. And it really does the trick. My teeth are so much cleaner from using this compared to regular toothpaste. It even removes tartar buildup which previously could only be removed by my dentist.
Moisture Socks
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Apr 17, 2015
These are quite short, so the fell off during the night. I ended up buying a pair of regular bamboo/cotton mix socks at a clothing store and I now use them as my moisture socks instead of these. Would not recommend.
Organic Powdered Ginger Root
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Nov 20, 2011
This ginger root powder is just the best. It is so flavorful and sweet compared to regular powdered ginger. And great to buy in bulk at a lower rate. I fill up a spice glass and put the rest tightly closed in the cupboard as refill.
Cacao Paste
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Nov 18, 2011
I use this in place of grated chocolate and to make healthy, homemade chocolates and snacks. Great quality, rich flavor and an all over good product. Will buy again (actually I already have...)
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Nov 09, 2011
What I probably love the most about these is that they consist of one ingredient + a gelatin capsule (that you can open if you don't want to eat it). The smell is fresh and "fruity" (not in a sweet way though, more in the same category as juniper berries), so the quality has exceeded my expectations. I haven't used it for a long enough time to know for sure if I notice any health benefits quite yet and since I use it in combination with other adaptogens I guess I won't be able to tell if this one in particular is helping me.
Another great Weleda product!
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Mar 21, 2011
It is quite thick - almost like a cream - if you're used to the cheap lotions from the supermarket, but I put this on while my face is still a little wet from showering and my skin turns silky smooth:)
Posted by Reviewer2869993 on Jun 04, 2011
The smell's a little funky, almost a little tart. But the flavor is just mellow and sweet and almost caramelly. I use it a lot as a sweetener in "superfood fudge" and licorice fudge as well as smoothies and cookies and homemade granola bars.

New Yorkers are going bananas about their new mayor. Bill de Blasio is the first Democrat to take over at City Hall for 20-odd years and the signs are that he'll be a real political visionary. He pledges to levy a super-tax on those earning half a million a year, and reform the "stop and frisk" policy so enthusiastically pursued by NY cops. (It's an issue close to his heart. His children are mixed-race.)
Marvellous things are expected of him. As they were expected of his predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, the technology mogul who for 12 years ran the city like a big company and turned its post-2008 budget deficit of £3.7bn into a surplus of £1.8bn. As he prepares to step down, how will he be remembered? According to a recent poll, half the city think he did a good-to-excellent job. And half thought he was rubbish.
How does that happen? What does a mayor have to do to please several million people who live in the same city as him? There aren't, it seems, any actual rules for being a mayoral success, nor any actuarial tables about who was best or worst mayor of Maine or Montreal. To children, the job has a nice folkloric ring, a Dick Whittington dream quality. Being mayor sounds like a job for the top chap around – like being king, only more debonair and streetwise. He should be the city's boss man – a public servant, but one who decide what games we play, and what's for lunch when we stop. He should be a rich person who's not above helping the poor on his own initiative, rather than passing welfare bills. And he must be capable of handling political pressures from all sides while not acting like an actual politician.
So why wasn't Bloomberg popular? I think we can identify five reasons, based on my intensive studies of mayor-land:
1. Because, although he lowered crime figures, he was a shocking nanny – bringing in the smoking ban (as did most Western capital cities) and trying to limit the size of fizzy drinks people could buy. The latter initiative was overruled by the courts. He also tried to bring in a congestion charge, and that too went down like a lead balloon. Citizens don't like nannying. Ken Livingstone lost his mayorship after he tried to impose sanctions on owners of cars with carbon emission levels of which he disapproved.
2. Also Bloomberg failed to become a brand. The best mayors turn themselves into brand names or catchphrases. People who didn't like Ken Livingstone's politics were beguiled by his love for newts. Ed Koch, New York's best-loved mayor, was known to all as "Hizzonner", as if his elevation to the top job was a joke shared by mayor and subjects; his catchphrase "How'm I doin'?" suggested a further collusion. Sam "Golden Rule" Jones of Toledo was a genuine reformer around 1900, who instituted a "Golden Rule" in all factories, insisting on higher pay and more leisure time for workers so they could enjoy "Golden Rule" jazz bands in his "Golden Rule" parks.
3. Also Bloomberg did nothing with bicycles. All mayors know that bicycles are crucial to city policy. After all this time, few Londoners can point to any concrete achievement by Boris Johnson except letting in the Barclays bikes. Ed Koch put a bicycle lane up Sixth Avenue and down Seventh to encourage people not to drive cars all the time – then took them down when bikers weren't using them enough. And after 12 years in power, the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, is still known best for starting off the whole bike-rent scheme – and for his fake summer beaches along the river.
4. Sadly, Michael B never got the importance of non-favouritism. Everyone in a city suspects the mayor of being corrupt, paying backhanders to his friends, giving his home turf special treatment. City commentators accused Bloomberg of giving too much of his attention to Manhattan. Had he looked up the career of Mayor John Lindsay, he'd have learned something. After a crippling snowstorm, the rescue operation over which he presided seemed to favour Manhattan and ignore poorer areas such as Queens. His opponents said it was clear he was indifferent to the misery of the city's middle class and poor. It became known as "the Lindsay Snowstorm" and did for him. Oh, and last week, the Mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, was harangued outside a restaurant by a writer called Bernardo Botkay and accused of favouring property-speculator mates with his plans for the World Cup. The mayor punched him in the face, and had to apologise.
5. Lastly, Bloomberg forgot to be seen as a nice guy. The most successful mayors act as shepherds to their flock in times of crisis. Rudy Giuliani, Bloomberg's predecessor, was by all accounts a nasty piece of work. But when 9/11 hit, he took to the streets and shepherded New Yorkers like no president, not even Reagan, had shepherded the nation. And don't forget that the most popular mayor of New York ever, Fiorello La Guardia, who ran the city during the Prohibition and Depression years. He's still best known for reading bedtime stories to the city's children over the airwaves during a newspaper strike.
Being mayor sounds like a job for the top chap around – like being king, only more debonair.
We could do without the burger-burka
What's the newest thing in Japanese eating out? No, not yet another ramen restaurant, nor a fully automated schoolgirl waitress, nor a variant of that sushi-on-a-carousel nonsense. This one's a reminder of how formal and traditional Japanese culture remains, beneath its glossy veneer of edginess.
It's a mask. Well, not a mask exactly, more a napkin that ladies hold over the lower half of their faces while eating anything that requires a large bite. No, honest. Japanese social etiquette dictates that a small mouth ("Ochobo") nibbling sashimi is attractive, whereas a big gob opened wide is awful.
The Freshness Burger fast-food chain, concerned at the lack of "Classic Burger" sales to women, recently introduced the Freedom Wrapper, bearing a picture of a modestly smiling lady. Behind it, hungry dames can scoff a quarter-pounder to their hearts' content. Sales at Freshness Burger have zoomed up 215 per cent, and everyone is happy.
I can't see this catching on over here. Ever since the film of Tom Jones opened in the 1960s, with its lusty scene of seduction-by-dinner, British ladies of my acquaintance haven't cared two hoots how much chicken thigh and drumstick they cram between their hungry jaws, nor how immodestly wide they open them for purposes of sustenance. We'll have to acknowledge that the burger-burka is a cultural step too far.Reuse content
