The New GOP: Party of Blockheads
If you missed it the first time, David Brooks offers a poignantly sad piece in NYT about the GOP's warm embrace of mediocrity and class warfare. It's counterintuitive (being smart and accomplished is now a no-no on the right) and so devastating in its insight. It deserves a very close reading:
...over the past few decades, the Republican Party has driven away people who live in cities, in highly educated regions and on the coasts. This expulsion has had many causes. But the big one is this: Republican political tacticians decided to mobilize their coalition with a form of social class warfare. Democrats kept nominating coastal pointy-heads like Michael Dukakis so Republicans attacked coastal pointy-heads.
Over the past 15 years, the same argument has been heard from a thousand politicians and a hundred television and talk-radio jocks. The nation is divided between the wholesome Joe Sixpacks in the heartland and the oversophisticated, overeducated, oversecularized denizens of the coasts.
What had been a disdain for liberal intellectuals slipped into a disdain for the educated class as a whole. The liberals had coastal condescension, so the conservatives developed their own anti-elitism, with mirror-image categories and mirror-image resentments, but with the same corrosive effect.
Republicans developed their own leadership style. If Democratic leaders prized deliberation and self-examination, then Republicans would govern from the gut.
George W. Bush restrained some of the populist excesses of his party — the anti-immigration fervor, the isolationism — but stylistically he fit right in. As Fred Barnes wrote in his book, "Rebel-in-Chief," Bush "reflects the political views and cultural tastes of the vast majority of Americans who don't live along the East or West Coast. He's not a sophisticate and doesn't spend his discretionary time with sophisticates. As First Lady Laura Bush once said, she and the president didn't come to Washington to make new friends. And they haven't."
The political effects of this trend have been obvious. Republicans have alienated the highly educated regions — Silicon Valley, northern Virginia, the suburbs outside of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Raleigh-Durham. The West Coast and the Northeast are mostly gone.
The Republicans have alienated whole professions. Lawyers now donate to the Democratic Party over the Republican Party at 4-to-1 rates. With doctors, it's 2-to-1. With tech executives, it's 5-to-1. With investment bankers, it's 2-to-1. It took talent for Republicans to lose the banking community.
If it remains on its present course, the GOP may well self-immolate. It's bad enough that we only have two viable parties in this country. Getting down to only one is not something even Democrats should cheer.

After Van Damme and Rajini, King Khan tries to do a full stretch across two busses but fails miserably. Read on to know why…
Not so long ago, Jean-Claude Van Damme's ad for Volvo trucks went viral on net and the Hollywood actor was showered with praises for his daredevil act in the commercial. Well, it is indeed tough to do a full stretch across two trucks that too effortlessly, hai na? Then South superstar Rajinikanth was seen doing the same in an animated spoof video. However, the Sivaji actor did a full stretch on top of auto rickshaws. While Van Damme and an animated Rajini managed to pull off the stunt, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan couldn't. Well, we are talking about a video which has been made to create awareness about potholes in Mumbai. The video shows an animated SRK trying to do a full stretch across two buses but falls when the one of buses hits a pothole. It's an interesting video and certainly brings out the message loud and clear.
Check out Shahrukh Khan's epic fall but more importantly spread the message – BMC needs to fix the potholes in Mumbai before its starts raining!

A nice shiny day,I visited lakis.It's view made the day awesome.Had good pieces of delicious item.These was so good that I will never forget.
well,its a sweet memory about samos and lakis.There was a picnic with my friends.Lakis was awesome. We've enjoyed so much.The fish item was the best.
We visited the restaurant three times during our stay of one week. The owner Lakis is very friendly and does his utmost to make his guests feel welcome and have an exceptional time at his restaurant. Lakis stands in the door and is personally welcoming you and showing you to the table. All food is very fresh and comes from...
Very friendly family run with view over the village and harbour! Nice little walk up a hill (not too steep). Food was great and service was exceptional!
Was quiet time of year but I guess it would be busy in high season so I would try to book a table as a must do!
the restaurant has a very good atmosphere.service was so good.really friendly stuff.foods were so tasty and fresh too.we liked it very much.really memorable dinner we ever had.
Lakis restaurant is a real gem. Atmosphere and food are great and the owner could not do enough to please us. We visited twice and each time received fresh fruits from his garden and cakes made by his wife plus ouzo. He also gave us ouzo shot glasses when we asked the name of the ouzo we had been drinking....
Very good place for denner romantic with fresh flowers very tasty food and good servise by Dimitris and lakis they give everything to have good time we will come back again...
Lakis' tavern is a typical Greek restaurant with a cordial and warm-hearted owner and his polite and friendly waiter Dimitri. The servings are huge and really tasty, with vegetables and potatoes coming from the owner's garden. Particularly recommendable is, in our view, mousakas and stifado, which have been the best versions so far. Lakis and his staff are very generous...
A perfect lunch, with a beautifull view! A boss with a lot of attentions for his costumers! Good, fresh and perfect preparated food! A place that you can't miss!
Big portions and proper home made food. We had chicken fillet and mousakka.
The owner is a nice man that cares about his customers.

Well, its a bit bulky and long but has only one 6 pin power connector vs my older 560Ti which used two six pin power connectors. So this card is more energy efficient and also more powerful.

Hoping to spur redevelopment in its commercial corridor along North Port Washington Road, the Common Council on Tuesday approved two rehabilitation and conservation tax incremental finance districts.
TIF districts allow municipalities to create set districts for redevelopment. Taxing bodies within the district agree to forgo taxes that are greater than those in place at the time of the district's creation to be used toward the cost of development. Those taxes are called the tax increment and, in the case of the pay-as-you-go districts, will be used as incentives for developers and for any public project costs.
TIF 4 has irregular boundaries along Port Washington Road, beginning just south of Mequon Road and ending at Baldwin Court. Most of the property on the east side of the street is in the district but a number of newer properties on the west side of the street are not.
On the east side, The Pavilion, Steins and the Feed Bag are among the properties. On the west side, the Ace Hardware store is included.
TIF 5 starts at roughly Greenbrier Drive on the north and extends south to a point between Zedler and Fiesta Lanes where Port Washington Road crosses Interstate 43.
Both are pay-as-you-go districts that offer incentives to developers who bring sites to "green-field" conditions to spur redevelopment in them. The incentives are only paid when the redeveloped property reaches its full value.
The city has estimated $5 million in project costs but will not borrow any money for them. Any public projects undertaken in the districts will be paid for by the additional taxes, or tax increment, generated in the districts by redevelopment.
The city estimates that TIF 4 and 5 will each grow in value by $24 million by the time the districts are closed. TIF 4 has an estimated base value of $44,764,026 and TIF 5, $12,391,680 as of Jan. 1, 2012.
The council approved TIF 4 as presented but modified the boundaries of TIF 5 slightly, adding both The Quiet House and Centennial Restaurant and removing Les Moise.
The plans now go to the Joint Review Board for final approval on March 7.

Ghostface Killah Is Checking For the New Vampire Weekend
There must be a lot of celebrating going down in the old VW compound right about now. From yesterday's Q+A in the Times, with Ghost and his manager Mike Caruso, an interview which took place inside a "parked S.U.V. around midnight recently":
Q: Vampire Weekend is a group you said you liked. How'd you first hear about them?
MR. CARUSO: My son, he's 15, left his iPod in the car, and that was on it.
GHOSTFACE: You know how kids be, they on [stuff] before you be on [stuff]. But he knew what he was talking about. The beat was like something I never heard before. It was interesting. It sounded like they could've had have some Jamaican in it. I try to listen to all music with an open head, a clear head, try not to say just because I don't know it, it's weak.
Also endorsed: Billy Joel, Springsteen, Pink, and the production on Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind," about which Ghost says "That beat might be one of the best beats I heard in years. Forget what he said on it, let's talk about the beat." From over here, that looks a lot like a shot: Jay might have to let Ezra and the gang know who still runs things in this city. Otherwise we're just going to have to assume he's handing over the crown.

Essentials for the Trip
- Dress Code
- It will be a long day, so plan to dress comfortably and wear good walking shoes. However, you will be meeting with professionals and want to make a good impression. Consider your wardrobe carefully. Business casual attire is recommended.
- Expenses
- Please bring $25–30 for extra expenses. Breakfast and substantial appetizers for dinner will be provided. However, lunch is not included, so please bring money to purchase lunch. You may be taking public transportation to travel between site visits, so please bring money to cover "in-city" transportation fares. As you may be returning to Boston after the T stops running, please make sure you have enough money for cab fare or have arranged other means of transportation.
- Job/Internship Prospects
- This event is designed for career exploration and networking. Alumni and friends have opened their offices and studios to provide an educational experience. Please respect professional boundaries and do not ask for jobs.
- It might be good to have a few copies of your resume, but there is no expectation that employers will ask for it. Some sites may discuss their organizations' own internship programs. If the subject comes up, it may be appropriate to share your resume directly. There also may be opportunities to gather feedback to make your resume stronger.
- Please be tactful in your approach when asking for business cards. The networking reception at the end of the day is designed specifically to share this type of information.
The bus will load along Tremont Street in front of the doors to the Little Building. If you miss the bus, it is your responsibility to find transportation to New York and back to Boston.

Dracula (1992)
- When sitting in the train on his way to Transylvania, Jonathan Harker is looking at a map which appears superimposed on his face. This was a live effect achieved simply by projecting the image of the map onto actor Keanu Reeves' face on set. - In the same scene, outside the window, Dracula's eyes mysteriously appear in the sky, watching Harker as he travels. This was achieved by combining three separate shots. First, the shot of Gary Oldman's eyes was done with him wearing special makeup so that only his eyes would be visible when the image was projected onto the sky backdrop. The next shot involved the projection of the eyes onto the backdrop of the Carpathian Mountain set, making it appear as if two eyes are appearing in the sky. Then, a shot was taken of Reeves sitting in the train with the combined background/eye shot rear-projected through the window.
- Another shot in this sequence involves a close up of Harker's journal with the train appearing to travel along the top of the book, blowing smoke across the pages. This was a forced perspective shot using a huge book and a tiny miniature train model.
- After arriving in Translyvania, Harker is met by Dracula's carriage and the driver seems to magically reach out and lift Harker into the carriage. This shot was achieved by having the rider (actually Oldman himself) sitting on a camera crane which reached out and brought him towards Reeves. At the same time, the camera was moved to the right, so it appeared as if the rider's hand wasn't actually stretching, but was simply defying physics. For the lift, Reeves himself was also standing on a fake floor, which was in fact a movable rostrum which raised him up into the carriage.
- As the carriage approaches the castle, there is a shot of the castle in the background as the carriage speeds along a narrow driveway. This was achieved by painting the image of the castle onto a piece of glass, and then positioning the glass in front of the camera whilst the scene of the carriage was shot on the sound stage.
- The scene when Harker is shaving and Dracula approaches him from behind without a reflection in the mirror was shot by a classic technique as old as cinema itself. The actor with his back to the camera is actually Reeves' double, not Reeves himself, and the 'mirror' is simply a hole in the wall, with the real Reeves standing on the other side in a portion of the set, thus when the hand touches the shoulder of the double there is no reflection to be seen because there is literally no mirror.
- When Harker is exploring the castle, there is a shot of some rats walking on the ceiling upside-down whilst Reeves descends a staircase right-way-up. This was achieved by using a double exposure. First, the shot of the rats was done with the camera upside-down. Then the film was rewound and a matte box was placed in front of the lens so as to ensure only the correct portion of the image would be exposed. The camera was then turned right way up and the scene of Harker going down the stairs was shot. Due to the matte box, it appears as if the beam with the rats is above Reeves, and because it was shot upside-down, the rats appear to be defying gravity.
- The first scenes in London after Dracula's arrival were shot with a real Pathé camera that was being hand cranked. It was also shot on a special Kodak stock to enhance the grain. There were no post-production effects added for this scene.
- The scene when Dracula seems to magically catch Mina's bottle was shot by simply having two men and two bottles. On set Winona Ryder drops the bottle and Gary Oldman scoops down and catches it. The camera then pans up to reveal he is already holding it out to Mina seemingly without having raised his hand. In reality, the hand holding the bottle out is a double standing just behind Oldman, wearing identical gloves, and holding a completely different bottle.
- For the scenes involving Dracula's POV, Francis Ford Coppola wanted to achieve something unusual, and it was ultimately decided to try to create something of staccato effect. These shots were created using an old piece of equipment called an intervalometer. When shooting at 24fps, an intervalometer trims the end of certain frames, and prevents the exposure of certain frames here and there, creating the 'jumpy' effect seen in the scene. Again, this was all accomplished in-camera, no post-production effects were added to the scenes.

text: Brett Guthrie Kentucky Elected Officials Mostly Quiet On Immigration Ban By Ryland Barton • Jan 30, 2017 iStockPhoto Days after President Donald Trump's executive order relating to immigration and refugees, Kentucky's elected officials are mostly silent on the issue. Guthrie Says Republicans Should Be the Party Backed by the Nation's Immigrants By Kevin Willis • Aug 8, 2016 Kevin Willis, WKU Public Radio Kentucky's Second District Congressman says his party needs to tone down some of its rhetoric about illegal immigration, and better explain how its economic policies could help those coming to the country legally. Schools Sound Off on Federal Nutrition Guidelines By Lisa Autry • May 8, 2015 A federal law championed by First Lady Michelle Obama is up for reauthorization later this year. At Plano Elementary School in Warren County Thursday, Kentucky's 2nd District Congressman Brett Guthrie solicited feedback on the Healthy and Hunger-free Kids Act which became law in 2010. Following a roundtable discussion, Guthrie said he learned that schools want more flexibility in preparing meals. "Everyone wants kids to eat healthy, but when you write a single rule that comes out of Washington, DC, that goes into every cafeteria of every school, they don't always work," Guthrie told WKU Public Radio. While the federal act has brought more nutritious meals into school cafeterias, much of the food is wasted. "If a kid doesn't pick up an apple, the school won't get reimbursed from the federal government if the kid is on free or reduced lunch," Guthrie explained. "A lot of times they have to make the kids pick up an apple and walk out with it knowing that it's going in the garbage." Cafeteria managers says the healthy food has resulted in more children bringing their lunch from home. Most of the children not eating cafeteria food are from middle and upper class families that pay full price for their lunch. It hurts schools monetarily when those children who pay full price bring their lunch from home. Guthrie Wants Obamacare "Re-Write", Focus on Getting Medical Devices on U.S. Market Sooner By Kevin Willis • Nov 19, 2014 Kentucky's Second District Congressman is predicting a major "re-write" of the Affordable Care Act next year. Bowling Green Republican Brett Guthrie would have an up-close view of such an effort, as he was named vice-chair of a key House Health Subcommittee Wednesday. Guthrie says the complicated structure of the federal health law makes it difficult to change certain aspects of the A.C.A without creating unintended consequences elsewhere. "You hear a lot of people say, 'let's keep what we like and fix what we don't like.' And there are things that we need as part of our system. We need to make sure that people have health care if they're sick, and pre-existing conditions don't push them out of the marketplace." But the Bowling Green Republican said adding so many additional Americans to the healthcare system made it impossible for President Obama to keep his pledge that everyone could keep the doctor and health plan that they wanted. The Congressman also expressed concern about states—like Kentucky—that expanded their Medicaid rolls as part of Obamacare. Leach on Congressional Campaign, Minimum Wage By Kevin Willis • Apr 18, 2014 http://www.ronleach4ky.com/ The man hoping to be the first Democrat to represent Kentucky's second U.S. House seat since 1994 says he decided to run for Congress while overseas. Ron Leach is a retired Army major and former special forces medic who lives in Meade County. Kentucky Rep. Brett Guthrie Sponsors Legislation to Repeal ACA By Kevin Willis (WKU) • Nov 22, 2013 Wikimedia Commons Kentucky's Second District Congressman believes the problems with the rollout of Obamacare make it more likely major changes will be made to the law. Bowling Green Republican Brett Guthrie is sponsoring a ten-point bill that includes the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Speaking today to a gathering of area business leaders, Guthrie said while a repeal isn't likely, the public is getting a glimpse of the problems related to greater government involvement in health care. KY Congressmen Look For Bipartisanship In Farm bill By John Walker • Oct 11, 2013 U.S. Congress Kentucky Representatives Ed Whitfield, Andy Barr and Brett Guthrie are calling on House Speaker John Boehner to assign farm bill conferees from the House of Representatives to meet with Senate conferees. They want an across-the-aisle agreement on a new long-term farm bill. Congressman Brett Guthrie Announces Re-Election, Bypassing Governor's Race By Phillip M. Bailey • Jul 16, 2013 Kentucky Second District Congressman Brett Guthrie announced he is running for re-election next year, but made it clear he is bypassing a bid for governor in 2015. Guthrie is a Republican from Bowling Green who has represented the district covering parts of western and central Kentucky since January 2009. "We are fighting in Washington to balance the federal budget, to cut wasteful spending, and to create an environment where small businesses can create good paying jobs," he says. "My work in Congress is all about providing opportunity. I am passionate about improving the economy, cultivating educational opportunity for people of all ages, and getting our nation's finances under control." The GOP lawmaker was a top contender for the party's nomination in the 2015 gubernatorial contest. But Guthrie clarified he is not interested in statewide office and will keep his full attention on representing the state in Washington. "I am not running for any state office in 2015, although I was humbled by the number of people who asked me to run for governor," he says. "I went to Washington solve big problems and to leave a better America behind for the next generation. I've spent every day doing that and I feel that my time and energy is best spent on solving the big financial and economic problems we face as a nation." Meade County Democrat Eyes Seat Held by U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie of Bowling Green By Kevin Willis (KPR) • Jul 8, 2013 Facebook A Meade County Democrat with nearly 30 years of military experience is entering Kentucky's Second District Congressional campaign. Retired U.S. Army Major Ron Leach wants to win the seat currently held by Bowling Green Republican Brett Guthrie. Leach told WKU Public Radio he believes the majority of Kentuckians are "being left behind" by a Congress more interested in partisanship than solving problems.

Decoupage Basic Technique Many paper napkins have multiple plies, meaning they can be unfolded into a bigger piece of paper for decoupaging. If the design or color is visible everywhere even after the entire napkin is unfolded, use the entire napkin. Otherwise, cut away the plain panels and save them for use as background or for another decoupage project. Cut designs or random shapes from the napkins, or use full napkin panels -- Decoupage rice paper is single ply and stronger than napkins

Wrist and Hand Pain
Together the wrist and hand are composed of 29 bones: 19 in the hand and fingers, 8 in the wrist, and 2 in the forearm. The wrist, hand, and fingers are capable of a great variety of movements. But the forearm muscles are actually responsible for most of the movement and strength of the hand and fingers.
Because the wrist and hand have little protection, their bones may be more likely to fracture than other bones in the body. Falls and blows are common causes of wrist and hand injuries. But, as with other joints, overuse and repeated motions can take their toll on the hand and wrist, causing a variety of conditions, such as tendinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Navicular Fracture
A navicular fracture near the wrist (the navicular is a small wrist bone located at the base of the thumb) can cause long-term problems, is difficult to diagnose and may be mistaken for a "sprained" wrist. It takes a long time to heal. Because the bone is so small and almost all its surface touches other bones, an improperly healed fracture can cause the navicular to rub and scrape in places it shouldn't. The result is pain and loss of range of motion in the wrist. If you fall on your outstretched hand, bending your wrist back, and the pain does not get better within a day, you should see your doctor and have an x-ray. If the x-ray shows no sign of fracture but the pain is still present a week later, you will need another x-ray. Sometimes small fractures are easier to see by x-ray 7 to 10 days later.
Mallet Finger
Mallet finger (also known as baseball finger) occurs when something strikes the end of your fingerand forcefully bends it. It can happen when you reach to catch a ball and it hits the tip of your fingers rather than your palm.
Inside the finger, a tendon is partly torn. From the outside you may see very little, but you cannot fully straighten your finger tip. An x-ray is recommended. Mallet fingers can heal on their own if they are properly splinted for several weeks.
Skier's Thumb
Skier's thumb is a common injury. It can happen when a skier falls and ski poles catch on the ground or snow and pull the thumb away from the fingers. Any forceful motion in the wrong direction can cause the condition, which is a tear in the ligament connecting the thumb to the metacarpal bone of the hand. In bad cases the ligament severs completely. This injury should be seen by a doctor.
Tendinitis in the wrist, hand, and fingers can occur from overuse or repeated motions. Symptoms may include pain, tenderness, minor swelling, and limited motion. Tendinitis pain in the wrist may spread down to the fingers or up to the elbow. Tendinitis in the fingers may affect one or more fingers at the same time. You may feel pain constantly or only with certain movements. The area around the tendon may be tender. You may even notice a cracking sound or odd feeling when you bend or flex the finger or wrist.
Ganglions (soft, fluid-filled cysts near tendons or joints) are harmless, may or may not cause pain or discomfort, and may go away eventually on their own. The cause of most ganglions is unknown. If you find a ganglion bothersome, your doctor may drain it with a needle or remove it surgically.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by pressure on the median nerve, a large nerve in the wrist, as it passes from the forearm to the hand through a "tunnel" formed by tendons. Carpal tunnel syndrome results in pain that may spread into the hand and forearm. You may feel numbness and tingling in the fingers, especially your thumb, index, and middle finger, and loss of strength in the hand. You may find yourself dropping things often or even being awakened at night by tingling and numbness in your hand. Talk to your doctor if you have any of the symptoms of CTS. Getting proper treatment may eliminate the need for surgery.
Self-Care Steps for Wrist and Hand
Below are some general self-care guidelines for handling wrist and hand pain. However, treatment is needed for specific injuries.
Apply ice immediately.
Always remove rings before exercising or doing manual labor. If you are wearing rings and hurt your hand, remove them immediately before swelling has a chance to begin.
Take aspirin or another pain reliever (medication) to ease pain and swelling.
Rest the painful hand for a few days and then begin to exercise it gently.
Call your doctor if pain continues and is not relieved by home care after 24 hours.

Pharmaceutical and medical device companies have enough to worry about when it comes to enforcement risks. It is only in the last ten years that FCPA enforcement has been added to their list of worries.
With the increase in FCPA enforcement, pharmaceutical and medical device companies have to worry about a number of interactions between their staff and foreign doctors, and foreign healthcare officials. Drug and device companies have to monitor a number of interactions, including clinical trials, travel sponsorships, consulting arrangements, medical device equipment trials and other types of interactions.
Clinical trials are a particular risky area. Pharmaceutical and medical device companies often enlist foreign doctors and medical institutions to conduct, or assist in conducting, clinical trials. These foreign healthcare providers are all deemed "foreign officials" under the FCPA.
Clinical research can be designed: (1) to generate the clinical data required in order to obtain FDA approval; or (2) to generate clinical data about an FDA approved product in order to develop marketing programs. Clinical trials are risky enough but when you add a layer of FCPA risks and compliance, you have a recipe for disaster.
Drug and device companies have steadily been increasing the number of foreign clinical trials. The primary motivation for moving clinical trials overseas is to save on costs. Almost 75 percent of clinical trials investigating FDA-regulated products are conducted in foreign countries. Approximately 80 percent of the participants in all clinical trials were enrolled at foreign locations.
In many cases, drug and device companies contract with Clinical Research Organizations (CROs), academic and health care facilities, and foreign physician investigators. CROs are used to manage clinical trials with foreign medical institutions, and act like a third-party agent for a company and interact directly with foreign physicians and medical institutions.
Companies using CROs have to conduct due diligence review of the CROs like any third-party agent and negotiate appropriate contractual provisions to minimize foreign bribery risks. The Department of Justice and SEC have focused on the significant risk that companies may pay bribes to foreign physicians and healthcare officials to generate favorable clinical data. Such bribery can mask serious health risks to ultimate consumers.
Some companies retain foreign physicians to assist a clinical trial as individual investigators. Prosecutors are suspicious of such arrangements since they fear that the individual physicians will attempt to "influence" the clinical trial contrary to an objective scientific analysis.
Drug and device companies will continue to conduct clinical trials in foreign locations. The economics and regulatory environment is favorable. As a result, compliance officers face a real challenge in navigating these risks. Compliance officers have to design and implement a robust compliance program which includes detailed due diligence and internal controls to make sure they do not run afoul of the FCPA.
