Boosting well-being and vitality
Akil Palanisamy, M.D., Author, The Paleovedic Diet: A Complete Program to Burn Fat, Increase Energy, and Reverse Disease
In this lecture, Dr. Akil Palanisamy will describe the outlines of a comprehensive roadmap to optimal health, one that combines the most effective aspects of the "paleo" diet (so-called because it seeks to emulate the diet of early humans), cutting-edge nutritional science, and the time-tested philosophy and techniques of ancient Ayurvedic medicine.

Dr. Palanisamy is a Harvard-trained physician who practices integrative medicine, incorporating the best of conventional medicine and alternative therapies. A holistic doctor, he completed his premedical training in biochemistry at Harvard University, received his medical degree from the University of California, San Francisco, and completed his residency in family medicine at Stanford University.

Media Icon Dorothy Kilgallen: The Reporter Who Knew too MuchDate: Wed, February 22, 2017
Time: 6:00 PM
How and why did Dorothy Kilgallen die?
Mark Shaw, Former Criminal Defense Attorney; CNN Legal Analyst; Author, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much
Occurring less than two years after JFK's assassination, the mysterious death of Dorothy Kilgallen, a "What's My Line" media star and investigative reporter, remains an enigma. Despite an apparently staged death scene in her apartment, and friends who suspected she had been murdered, no police investigation followed. Relying on fresh evidence secured through discovery of never-before-seen videotaped interviews and secret government documents, Shaw unfolds a murder mystery featuring Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover and Mafia don Carlos Marcello, whose motives included being threatened by Kilgallen's 18-month investigation into JFK's death. (For more about the book, see http://www.thereporterwhoknewtoomuch.com.)
The Science of CoffeeDate: Wed, February 22, 2017
Time: 7:00 PM
What goes into the cup
William Ristenpart, Joe and Essie Smith Endowed Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of California-Davis

The project has its roots in the Engineering Department, where Ristenpart co-developed the "Design of Coffee" course that became hugely popular with both science and java junkies and boasts the highest enrollment of any elective course on campus.
Come learn about the core engineering and science principles involved in roasting and brewing the perfect cup of coffee and participate in an informal coffee "cupping" sponsored by Peet's Coffee.
Thu 2/23
The End of the VikingsDate: Thu, February 23, 2017
Time: 6:00 PM
The journey from paganism to Christianity to secularism
Linda Rugg, Professor of Swedish Studies, Department of Scandinavian Studies, University of California Berkeley
In the year 1000 AD, at the annual Althing (national assembly) in Iceland, a decision was made to make Christianity the official religion of the island. The road from paganism to Christianity was not, however, completely smooth, nor did the conversion process happen as abruptly as the political decision implied. A key text describing the declaration at the Althing appears in Njal's Saga, and it will form the basis for this lecture, along with two medieval Icelandic short stories that illustrate how Christianization began to take shape in the North. The continued presence of the pagan past in modern Scandinavia can be traced in literature, artifacts and enduring cultural practices, indicating that while the Scandinavians eventually embraced Christianity and then secularism, they did not leave their Viking identity behind.
Why Facts Don't Trump the PresidentDate: Thu, February 23, 2017
Time: 6:30 PM
Language and your political outlook
George Lakoff, Professor of Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley
Greg Dalton, Founder and Host, Climate One
Additional Speakers TBA
Facts are overrated. Sure, they are the concrete foundation of narratives and they should be defended when the national conversation is filled with bald-faced lies. But the obsession with facts can be taken too far at the expense of other deeper means of communication.
George Lakoff says if progressives want to learn from the election of Donald Trump, they need to change what they study in college, how they think about facts as adults, understand framing and learn to repeat, repeat, repeat.
Jon Krosnick has been studying public opinion around energy and climate change longer than just about anyone else. That gives him deep understanding about what Americans think about fossil fuels and clean energy and how that diverges from what politicians say and do about those issues.
Join a conversation to learn how your Bay Area brain helped elect Donald Trump and how you can revise the way you think and talk in this new political world.
SV Reads 2017: And Justice for AllDate: Thu, February 23, 2017
Time: 7:30 PM
Silicon Valley Reads 2017
Adam Benforado, Associate Professor of Law, Drexel University; Author, Unfair: The New Science of Criminal Injustice
Sal Pizzaro, Columnist, San Jose Mercury News—Moderator
How can we reduce bias in our legal system? Benforado examines this critical issue from both a legal perspective and from someone who has been incarcerated.
Benforado says, "The failure of our legal system has been a defining issue in the U.S. over the last year…. To make progress in our fight against abuse, unequal treatment and wrongful convictions, we must come together as a community to consider the psychological biases that share the behavior of judges, jurors, witnesses, lawyers, police officers—and all of the rest of us."

Wed 3/1
Ben Franklin CirclesDate: Wed, March 01, 2017
Time: 6:30 PM
Discussion group
Join us monthly, every first Wednesday, for a 21st-century version of Ben Franklin's mutual improvement club. One evening a week, for more than 40 years, the founding father discussed and debated with his friends the 13 virtues that he felt formed the basis for personal and civic improvement, a list he created when he was 20 years old. The virtues to which he aspired included justice, resolution and humility (but don't misunderstand Ben on that one—his explanation of humility was "imitate Jesus and Socrates").
Ben Franklin Circles bring people together to discuss the most pressing philosophical and ethical issues of our time with the goal of improving ourselves and our world.
Dietary Supplements: Making the Best ChoicesDate: Wed, March 01, 2017

The Hamilton AffairDate: Thu, March 02, 2017
Time: 6:00 PM
The love story behind the controversial Revolutionary-era leader
Elizabeth Cobbs, Professor and Melbern G. Glasscock Chair in American History, Texas A&M University; Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University; Author, The Hamilton Affair
This program is part of our Good Lit series, underwritten by the Bernard Osher Foundation.
Celebrate the imminent arrival of the musical Hamilton with a discussion of a new novel about this intriguing founding father. The Hamilton Affair tells the true story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler, from passionate and tender beginnings to his fateful duel.
Hamilton was a bastard and orphan, raised in the Caribbean and desperate for legitimacy, who became one of the Revolution's most dashing—and improbable—heroes. Admired by Washington, scorned by Jefferson, Hamilton was the most controversial leader of the new nation. Elizabeth was the wealthy, beautiful, adventurous daughter of the respectable Schuyler clan—and a pioneering advocate for women. Together, the unlikely couple braved the dangers of war, the anguish of infidelity, and the scourge of partisanship that menaced their family and the country itself.

Mon 3/6
The Revolution Where You Live: Stories from a 12,000-mile Journey through a New AmericaDate: Mon, March 06, 2017
Time: 6:00 PM
A journey to other Americas
Sarah van Gelder, Co-founder, Yes! Magazine; Author
During the past 2016 election year, Sarah spent months on a road trip traveling in a pick-up truck and tiny camper to listen to people's concerns and hopes of a better life. In her book, The Revolution Where You Live, she takes you from inner-city neighborhoods in Detroit, Chicago and Ohio to Greensboro, North Carolina's new food co-op; she explores the Appalachian radio network that reaches coal miners, small farmers, poverty, polluted environments and water resources that permeate mountains, hollows and towns.
Sarah met with local leaders who are committed to building hometown sustainable economies; encouraging local community diversity collaboration and resisting mining, fracking and environmental degradation. Their local stories offer hope for all of us for a better world for healthy and safe environments, opportunities, jobs and collaboration of diverse communities and people working together. Sarah herself lives on the traditional lands of the Suquamish Tribe, near Seattle.
A New Kind of Heroism: Extreme Measures at the End of LifeDate: Mon, March 06, 2017
Time: 6:00 PM
Partnerships instead of lone heroics
Jessica Zitter, MD, MPH, ICU and Palliative Care, Highland Hospital; Author, Extreme Measures; Contributor, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Huffington Post, the Journal of the American Medical Association
Dr. Zitter entered the field of critical care medicine to be a hero. She wanted to rescue people from the brink of death like a fireman rescues fire victims—calmly, swiftly and without stopping to ask questions. But one day, as she was aggressively treating a dying patient in the ICU, a nurse challenged her on why she was putting the patient through the pointless ordeal. The remark smarted, and Dr. Zitter began asking herself the same question about many of her patients. She came to realize that while the standard no-holds-barred medical approach achieves some dramatic victories, it often causes more suffering than benefit for patients with life-limiting illness.
In this program, Dr. Zitter will describe a new kind of heroism. Her current practice is influenced by the Palliative Care movement, which has the potential to transform medicine in the ICU and beyond. This new model is patient-centered and participatory. Doctors pursue direct and honest communication, however difficult, over false hope and avoidance. And the central actor is no longer a lone warrior-doctor in the trenches of medical warfare, but rather a diverse team of health-care providers acting in partnership with patients and family members.

President Trump and the Future of U.S.-Asia Relations: A View from the West CoastDate: Tue, March 07, 2017
Time: 6:30 PM
International developments
David D. Arnold, President, The Asia Foundation
Dr. Gloria C. Duffy, President and CEO, The Commonwealth Club of California
N. Bruce Pickering, Vice President of Global Programs, Asia Society, and Executive Director, Asia Society Northern California
Jane Wales, CEO, World Affairs Council of Northern California and Global Philanthropy Forum; Vice President, The Aspen Institute
Mina Kim, News Anchor, KQED—Moderator
Join Asia Society, The Asia Foundation, The Commonwealth Club, and the World Affairs Council for a unique dialogue featuring the leaders of four of the Bay Area's most prestigious public affairs and non-profit organizations, who will look at the presidency of Donald J. Trump and what it will mean for America's relationship with Asia and the world. Held within the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, the dialogue will examine more closely a persistent divide between California and the Bay Area, and the rest of the country, on the future direction of this nation.
The dialogue will examine how the Bay Area and the state more broadly view America's relationship with Asia, as well as its place in the world on global issues such as trade, security and climate change. What are some of the primary issues of importance to the Bay Area—politically, economically, culturally—as it relates to U.S.-Asia relations and are they similar or different from the rest of the country? Have the state and the region evolved differently from the rest of the country in how they perceive America's relationship with Asia and the world, and why? Is it demographics, geography?

Baltimore Ravens
Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun: "When training camp launches later this month at team headquarters, a faster, more assured [Bernard] Pierce could pay significant dividends for the Ravens as they attempt to defend their Super Bowl title. As the primary backup to Pro Bowl running back Ray Rice, Pierce is looking to emerge as a bigger scoring threat by finishing off long runs after scoring one touchdown last season when he occasionally flashed breakaway skills."
Garrett Downing of BaltimoreRavens.com looks at the competition at nose tackle and defensive tackle.
Cincinnati Bengals
Maintaining balance on offense remains a top priority for the Bengals. "It's not always the yardage total that's most important," head coach Marvin Lewis said. "When your back is carrying 25 times, it means that even though the yardage will vary, you're controlling the ball, controlling the clock, and keeping your defense off the field. As it shows for us, that is very likely going to be a winning combination."
Cleveland Browns
Team owner Jimmy Haslam says the Browns are not for sale.
Linebacker Walt Michaels comes in at No. 21 on The Plain Dealer's list of the top 100 Browns of all time.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "The best part about Big Ben's visit to Big Ben last week was the picture that captured the moment for history's sake. The photographer did a fabulous job finding just the right angle to make Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger look every bit as tall as the London landmark. Roethlisberger almost seemed larger than life. That started me thinking. That's how Roethlisberger must play this season if the Steelers are going to get back to the playoffs and take a run at another Super Bowl. Maybe not larger than life. But better than ever."
What was Isaac Redman's "welcome to the NFL" moment? He answers that question and more in a Q&A posted on the team's official website.

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Focus on football
Waukesha South (4-0, 2-0 Classic 8) vs. Catholic Memorial (3-1, 1-1) at Carroll University, 7 p.m. Friday: South is coming off what could be considered its most impressive victory yet, a 41-27 triumph over Kettle Moraine in which the Blackshirts led, 34-0, through three quarters. Just a week earlier Kettle Moraine lost to Arrowhead, 21-3. This matchup is huge for both teams in the rugged Classic 8, but for resurgent South it's a chance to make a major statement.
While we're not a fan of unbalanced schedules, the City Conference's slate creates some interesting scenarios. Case in point, Milwaukee Pulaski. The Rams face a pivotal matchup in the league at 4:30 p.m. Friday against Morse-Marshall, which upset Riverside last week. A victory would put the Rams in great position for a high finish in the conference. They don't play King or Washington. The scariest team left on Pulaski's schedule after this week is Riverside, which is banged up now but could be running on all cylinders when it hosts Pulaski on Oct. 12.
It is rivalry week in the Greater Metro. We will either get some separation in the standings — six of the eight teams are 2-0 or 1-1 — or we'll be left with even more questions. Starting at the top of the standings, undefeated Menomonee Falls plays preseason favorite Sussex Hamilton, which has run wild on Falls the past two seasons. Meanwhile, Brookfield Central, which lost to Falls last week, tries to bounce back against Brookfield East. The big winner of it all could be Milwaukee Marquette, though. The Hilltoppers, who play Wauwatosa East, should improve to 3-0 and get another week of development under their belt before hitting the tough part of their schedule.
Arrowhead (3-1, 2-0 Classic 8) at Mukwonago (3-1, 1-1), 7 p.m. Friday: Though Arrowhead's offense has experienced growing pains, its defense has been fantastic. The unit is allowing 5.8 points per game, including a shutout and 117 total yards against Catholic Memorial last week. Up next are the league's third- and second-best scoring teams, Mukwonago and Waukesha West. Mukwonago is averaging 36.2 points per game.
Oak Creek (2-2, 1-1 Southeast) at Franklin (3-1, 2-0), 7 p.m. Friday: In order to beat its rival for the second straight time, Oak Creek is going to have to contain the Sabers' passing game, which has bounced back since its loss to Greendale three weeks ago. Senior Sean McGuire has completed 33 of 44 passes for 484 yards and five touchdowns the last two games.
Wauwatosa West (3-1, 1-1 Woodland West) at Pewaukee (3-1, 1-1), 7 p.m. Friday: Both teams are trying to stay within striking range of first-place Greendale. It should be a fun matchup to watch, particularly when Tosa West tries to move the ball against the Pirates' defense.
Kenosha St. Joseph (3-1, 2-0 Metro Classic) vs. Racine St. Catherine (3-1, 2-0) at Horlick Field, 7 p.m. Saturday: This game decided the Metro title last year and the Midwest Classic South crown in 2011. St. Catherine's won both times. Kenosha St. Joseph will try to snap that string with the help of some physical play up front, a group led by seniors Ethan Ehlers, Nick Fredrickson and Chris Fredrickson, who were all-conference picks last season. "I think this is the best we've had on the offensive and defensive lines," St. Joseph coach Jim Kenesie said. "We have some size and kids who know how to play the game."

One of the most popular games on planet Xirnon, and in fact on quite a number of neighboring planets, involves leaping off of a very tall structure while simultaneously exchanging genetic material (having sex). For some species this game determines the number of their offspring by how many pieces they splatter into when they hit the ground. After an exhilarating free fall, the parents smash into from 50 to 100 pieces, each of which begins the cycle of life all over again by slowly climbing back up to the top of the structure.
Throughout history different societies on earth have occationally experimented with similar games. For example, a tribe in Tibet found it amusing to jump off a mountain cliff into the waiting arms of their lovers, but always with disasterous results. Fortunately, several hundred deaths later, a high priest thought of a variation of the game that involved jumping off a foot stool instead.

When the priest thought that a foot stool might be safer than a mountain top, did he say "dough!" like Homer Simpson?
I'm sure the high priest just came home from his time-machine, 4000 years into the future. He went to the future to look for the cake, but noticed people doing the act from a foot stool. That's why he came back to tell the population, making him a prophet.

Maybe the owl will chase you off.
Here at Twitterwatch, we use the 140 characters of Twitter
to plumb the minds and souls of our favorite celebrities. And it turns out that
some of them have birds other than the little blue bird of Twitter on their
The closest I'll get to cuddling up to the hunk of my high school years.
New Kid on the Block Jonathan Knight looks exhausted. And I
know how he feels. This summer I had an owl move into the oak tree outside my
bedroom, and he was more reliable than a rooster for a 5:30 AM wakeup call. So
I wish him good luck with chasing him down, because if he's like mine, or the
one at the top of the page, maybe he should just move.
Hope you all had a great Saturday! I have an owl to chase from a tree then off to bed!
Though one has to wonder if boy bands develop an unnatural
aversion to birds for some reason. Westlife's
Mark Feehily seems to have an issue
with pigeons. But if he's in Tesco, maybe it's Tesco that has the issue.
Shouldn't the pigeons be outside as opposed to attacking patrons?
A pigeon just flew past my nose in Tesco.I have a big phobia of bird and flapping wings! I scream u scream we all scream for ice-cream =O
It may not be a screech owl keeping Caprica's Jane Espenson
up at night, but she's keeping the same hours as an owl thanks to jet lag. But
the good news is she's found a way to make the best of a bad situation.
Gotta say, I'm loving this jet lag! I'm getting so much done in the hours between 3 and 9 AM!
Maybe she can play Monopoly
with Aussie comic Josh Thomas. He's
up late, and feeling all alone. He wants companionship, but I think he's so
adorable he shouldn't have to resort to paying for it, even in the dead of
night. Jane, meet Josh. You two can play online.
Maybe I will get a prostitute and make them play monopoly with me. I do like playing monopoly.
But among the things he doesn't like, Broadway's Gavin Creel doesn't list birds, jet
lag, or being lonely. Frankly, he's got a list of irritants that could fit just
about anybody. Who knew gays were just normal people?
THINGS I DON'T LIKE: atm fees, rotten avocados, whining wally, gloom, crap customer service, my impatience, & headaches.
Next page: Bullied gay teens.
Fashion forward choices, yet he makes them work.
I'm going to have to buy a Jane's Addiction album or something to support Dave Navarro. Not only did he pen that touching open letter to GLBT
youth from Thursday's Meme, before that, he made sure to validate the value of
their lives via his Twitter account. Musicians seem to be able to turn their
flair for lyrics into eloquent tweets.
Gay Teens: You are SO much more interesting than those who bully you. Don't leave us with a world full of homophobic predators.
Alec Mapa took
time to tell teens to that life isn't high school, and they won't be held
hostage in a hostile environment forever. One thing I really like about Mapa is
that he thinks before he tweets – if you follow him, you know he's added
#BoycottTarget to everything for months now, silly or serious. But here, he
knew it wasn't about that. Little things matter, and I noticed, Alec.
Gay teens being bullied- chin up. Outside the shithole that is High School is a world of acceptance and love. Trust me on this one.
Blake Skjellerup
is back from visiting his family in New Zealand. And he's got a point so great
here I'll overlook the fact that I think he's secretly got Bieber Fever: If Justin Bieber can be expected to calm
riots and call off death threats against women he's photographed in the basic
vicinity of, can't he use that awesome power to teach teens, people who are his
peers, not to bully other kids?
Seriously! Frankie Jonas & Maple Syrup is trending! Yo @justinbieber why not stand up for school bullying. Use your "power" to do some good!
At the completely other end of the spectrum from all these
kids being bullied by other kids, and judged by their parents is the son of Eddie McClintock. This isn't the first
time that Eddie's tweeted about his wife saying things to his son he never
expected to hear, and he expresses surprise, but never any judgment. He's a
great dad.
Things I Never Thought I'd Hear My Wife Say To My Son: "Max, if you don't get back here, I'm taking Rapunzel!"
While not specifically about gay kids, I think what Sarah Silverman is saying here applies.
Because we've got to save them.
God save the queens.
Next page: Clothes make the man
His nipples are a national treasure and must be protected.
Brett Claywell is
training to run the NYC marathon to raise money for HIV prevention and
awareness in Africa. But he's discovering there's a reason they make special
running shirts that are non-abrasive, especially for guys whose nipples are as
perky as Brett's.
Note to self: When running distances further than God intended, put bandaids over thy nipples.
Would someone please teach rugby hunk Gareth Thomas how to TwitPic with his phone? Because after he sent
this out he said he didn't know how, and I'd really like to see the big burly
guy in his slippers at the supermarket. It would make me feel better about the
old man slippers I'm wearing right now.
Just been to Sainsburys to get a chicken.Everyone was staring at me and giggling.Then i realised i had my fathers mr. grumpy slippers on.:)
Speaking of shoes, Roger
Ebert has this to say about shoes and fall, and it makes me smile at the
thought. Then I remember that I have to rake all those leaves, and fly into a
rage. But the brief smile was nice.
There's sweet nostalgia to be had in scuffling through autumn leaves in your Hush Puppies.
Somehow, I have trouble picturing Caprica's Sasha Roiz
wearing anything except his 1940s inspired gangster wear, or nothing but his
tattoos as he moves in to kill someone. But now that he's guest
starring on House, I guess I'll have to get used to seeing him in pink.
Hopefully without pizza stains. I hope he's got the legs for this look.
Sitting on the set of #house in a pink hospital gown, chomping on pizza. Apparently my character suffers from an acute case of meat lovers.
It's probably a good thing that Britney Spears took the time to offer commentary during the Glee episode dedicated to her, since
that provided more more material to string together a plot than anything in the actual script. But
really, I wish people would stop endorsing the bow tie because it takes me two
hours to tie one, and I don't want it to come back in style.
I like Kurt's bow tie. Bow ties are sexy…
One advantage of clothes is that you can hide who you are by
wearing something out of character. But how Johnny Wier can hide his identity on a flight, I have no idea. Does
he wear flannel?
Landed in LA! I love pretending to be someone else to your neighbor on the plane! Acting practice! Today I was Vanya, the fashion worker!
Next Page: Entertaining the entertainers.
Stick to acting, because you'd never make it as a sketch artist.
Eureka's Neil Grayston doesn't strike me as
someone who is difficult to amuse. I stay amused just reading what he's eating,
even pickles flavored with Kool-Aid. He's sort of the exception to the rule
that reading about people having lunch on Twitter is stupid and boring.
Screw flying cars… cheeseburger flavored Doritos actually taste like cheeseburgers. The future is now. And it is terrifying.
But his Vancouver buddy David
Blue seems to always be stumbling into something amusing when he's out and
about. But this has to take the cake. I'm just upset he didn't get video of Adam Lambert's oldest fan.
In torrential Vancouver downpour, 70-year-old woman just sped by on a moped blasting @adamlambert & dancing. Good lesson there…
Chris Colfer is
obviously providing his own entertainment somewhere, and he's in desperate need
of a disco ball. But I'm a little confused, shouldn't that have been in his
coming out welcome basket? Did we have a shortage?
Does anyone know where I can get a disco ball? Please, no questions or judgments.
I bet Bryan Safi
has a couple disco balls, being the self-proclaimed gayest person on the
planet. I bet he's even got a portable version he takes with him to events at
the Hollywood Bowl, just in case they're not gay enough on their own.
At the Hwood Bowl Sound of Music singalong. Sponsored by gay.com. The only way this could be gayer is if Pastor Eddie Long was here.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson
blows the whistle on all those celebrities that swear they never watch
themselves. He even re-watches his Oprah appearances while he exercising. At night
he probably alternates between The Class
and unaired episodes of Do Not
Remember that day I got 2 watch myself on @oprah while on the treadmill @ the gym. Basically I wanted u to know I was on Oprah & I work out.
But let's face it, one place we absolutely have to provide
our own entertainment is when we're sleeping. And Trevor Donovan has mad skills for his dreams – he's even mastered
special effects! I wonder if he can still manage it after a
champagne blackout?
I don't know Kung Fu…….but when I'm asleep I can run in slow motion. #TiredNonsense
Next Page: This and
Matthew Mitcham
is just adorable, and cheerful, and just so inspiring. But I'm not sure I want
to share a road with him. It's one thing for me to drive like this, but if both
of us did it we might end up hurting someone.
I don't understand the sign saying "RIGHT LANE CLOSED, SLOW DOWN"… if we're down a lane, then everyone should speed up to compensate.
Joan Rivers wants
a gay sugar daddy. But at her age, I'm not sure anyone who qualifies to be her
daddy is still alive.
I want to marry a rich, gay guy. To be able to go out with someone and dish the dirt and then have him pick up the check? Heaven!!!
Nate Silver is a
smart man, and since election season is approaching again, he's a very popular
man. But he also encourages critical thinking, which is something that is in
particularly short supply during election season.
Beware when the lazy invoke Occam's Razor.
And finally, Jimmy
Fallon has figured out how to make Sarah
Palin president. You just have to wait for President Obama to succeed in extending the school year, then wait
for those children affected are old enough to vote, because they will not
forgive the party that took away summer breaks.
President Obama said he supports having a longer school year. In response, Sasha and Malia announced they support Sarah Palin. #FallonMono
That's it folks! We'll be back with fresh tweets for you
from the celebrities you love, and that you love to hate next week.

Falcon Bank Jumps 23 Slots on Annual 100 Fastest Growing Companies ListingFriday, 03 December 2010 South Texas bank now ranks #68 on Hispanic Business magazine's listing
Falcon International Bank has long been recognized as one of the nation's top-performing banks, and is regularly featured in such prestigious publications as Independent Banker and American Banker. Now, Falcon has been listed as number 68 in Hispanic Business magazine's annual list of the top 100 Fastest Growing Hispanic-owned businesses in the U.S.—making a phenomenal jump of 23 slots since last year.
"The latest 23-slot jump is a tribute of our ability to sustain our growth in a period that has been full of challenges transformed into opportunities," said Gilbert Narvaez, Jr., President of Falcon. "The five year growth period performance for this prestigious list has been fueled by our most important assets -- Our loyal customer base and our dedicated Falcon Family Employees".

Arrest & prosecute Bill Clinton for Violation of Mass. Election Laws.
This is a call for the immediate arrest of President Bill Clinton for clear, knowing and egregious violation of the campaign laws to swing an election in a significant way. It could not be any clearer in the Massachusetts General Laws. "Campaigning within 150 feet of a polling station, or in any way interfering with the right to vote". Choosing the critical battleground state of Massachusetts, Bill Clinton should immediately be subject to arrest and prosecution. Bill Clinton was not only electioneering within the boundary. Although the spokesperson for Bill Clinton denies that he was ever inside a polling place, photos and video show him clearly greeting and talking up election workers inside. After being told to refrain from this activity, which is a 3rd degree Voter Violation Felony, for which Clinton indeed must have known the law and chose to violate it, Bill Clinton does not vote in Massachusetts, and would have no other business in a polling station on election day besides campaigning for his wife. We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that you honor the democratic process with all the dignity it deserves, and hold Bill Clinton accountable for the felony of his actions. Thank you. There is also a whitehouse.gov petition that would be presented to President O'Bama, should we be able to reach 100,000 signatures. I whole-heartedly suggest that you join me in signing this petition as well. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/investigate-violations-massachusetts-voting-laws-conducted-bill-clinton-march-1-2016
Get CPS Bank Loan Money Back For The Schools NOW
CPS got ripped off by banks for the last 10-plus years. Nearly two years ago, the Chicago Teachers Union and a coalition of community and labor organizations sounded the alarm that toxic swaps had cost the district tens of millions already and, through the lifetime of the deals, could cost hundreds of millions. David Vitale, was a central booster in promoting the virtues of these complicated financial instruments that have come back to haunt CPS. There is still a chance to do the right thing. According to federal regulations, banks that pitch finance deals to municipal borrowers have a duty to deal fairly with them. That includes not misrepresenting risks. By filing for a third-party review of the swaps through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the city and schools could recoup all the money they have lost and stand to lose in the future. Emanuel and his appointed school board have a tremendous opportunity to claw back nearly $1 billion for a revenue-starved city and school system from the banks that profited unfairly. We are in a moment in which instead of closing schools, installing regressive taxation through red light cameras and cellphone taxes, we could renegotiate the swaps and implement a LaSalle Street tax to fully fund universal pre-K, sustainable community schools and a plethora of other dire needs for our 77 community areas. It is no longer an option for the mayor to act; it's a necessity, one that the citizens of Chicago are demanding Mayor Emanuel do.
Take the Seaworld Dolphin Trainer Barbie off your shelves
By selling a Barbie doll, one of a girl's most popular toy, representing a dolphin trainer is not only unethical, but shows lack of compassion on Toys "R" Us part. When a dolphin is taken into captivity from the wild, or is born into captivity, more times than not, the family units are broken apart to ship dolphins to different marine parks around the country and even the world. For dolphins, this equates to cruel and unusual punishment as the dolphin society is very close and family-oriented, with babies and juveniles staying with their mothers their entire lives. Keeping dolphins in concrete tanks also is cruel to these highly intelligent animals, as they use their echolocation to navigate and to find food in the wild, but in a tank they become disoriented and confused. Dolphins are fed dead fish loaded with antibiotics, antacids, and other medications to help them survive longer in captivity, some are even said to be taking anti-depressants, but I can't confirm this with accuracy. We, as parents, want to teach our children, both girls and boys, to be kind and caring to animals. They are often smaller, weaker, and can't stand up for themselves-quite like against a bully in school. I tell my 8 year old to always stand up to the class bully, and I tell her to stand up for the defense of the defenseless and give them a voice. HERE ARE THEIR VOICES, AND THEY SPEAK WITH DETERMINATION AND CONVICTION. TAKE YOUR DOLPHIN TRAINER BARBIE FROM YOUR SHELVES. You had told a friend of mine a year ago that you show this doll to show the girls the opportunities they can be when they grow up. My answer to this would be "If I showed my daughter that she could grow up to be a serial killer? Does this make it right?" I would hazaard a guess that your answer might be 'Of course not'. Your sending this message to our young girls makes as much sense as my scenario posed to you does. Please remove your Dolphin Trainer Barbie from your shelves.
Remove Seaworld Dolphin Trainer Barbie from your shelves
Remove Seaworld Dolphin Trainer Barbie from your shelves As the mother of an 8 year old daughter, I think it is highly unethical to be offering a toy for children that is based on the suffering of captive Dolphins held at Seaworld marine parks. Dolphins use echolocation to guide them through water in the wild, and to be housed in concrete tanks it causes great stress and suffering, as someone living in a room full of mirrors would feel, disoriented and confused. Dolphins also are highly family oriented, and when they are moved from their families it causes such damage, they usually are not housed with dolphins of their own family, or pod, and since each pod has their own distinct vocalizations, communication and socialization within the tanks are strained at best. Seaworld also conducts a captive breeding program, where dolphins and orcas are impregnated much earlier than they would have been in the wild, causing these orcas and dolphins to give birth to stillborn babies which causes the mother dolphins terrible, visible grief. Also a form of cruelty. Children need to be taught compassion for animals, and those animals that cannot defend themselves our children should be taught to come to their aid, as they would with a bully in school. This Seaworld Dolphin Trainer doll in our estimation, does not teach compassion for animals, it simply speaking teaches domination over an animal, that performs silly tricks in order to be fed anti-biotic, antacid and medication laced dead fish to avoid being hungry. Dolphins are highly-intelligent, family-oriented, sensitive, sentient animals that need to swim free in their own watery world of the ocean, not kept prisoner in a Seaworld tank for the entertainment of human visitors to their parks for the sole purpose of the bottome line...money. We the undersigned, request that you remove the Seaworld Dolphin Trainer Barbie from your shelves, in order for you to send the correct message to your patrons of what you, as a company, value.
Take the Seaworld Barbie off your shelves.
Seaworld recently had a Barbie Dolphin Trainer doll in the Toy R Us stores, which re-inforced their beliefs that captivity is an integral part of their business. Now, since the backlash of the documentay "Blackfish", they are trying to put a different spin on their trainers work ethics, and trying to market it to our young people. Seaworld is trying to have the public think they are concerned for marine life, when in fact, if this was true, they would hold no cetaceans captive for human entertainment purposes. Once Seaworld retires the cetaceans it has on it's properties around the world, Once they try to rehabilitate the wild-caught Orcas and dolphins in their possesion, then they can talk without inpunity the fact that they are in the business of helping marine wildlife. Until this time comes, however, we the undersigned would ask you remove the Seaworld Barbie from your shelves. Respectfully

Sir Richard Sykes, Former Glaxo Wellcome Chairman, CEO and GlaxoSmithKline Chairman, Agrees to Join the Abraxis BioScience Board of Directors
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. and SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 20
Dec 20, 2005, 00:00 ET from American Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc.
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Pharmaceutical Partners, Inc. (Nasdaq: APPX)(APP), and American BioScience, Inc. (ABI) today announced that Sir Richard Sykes, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Glaxo Wellcome plc and Chairman of the Board of GlaxoSmithKline plc, has agreed to join the Board of Directors of Abraxis BioScience, Inc. following the consummation of the proposed merger between APP and ABI (APP will be renamed Abraxis BioScience following the merger). Sir Richard currently serves as Rector of the largest applied science and technology university in the United Kingdom, the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University London. In November, APP and ABI announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement which will merge the companies to create Abraxis BioScience, a fully integrated, global biopharmaceutical company. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2006. The Abraxis BioScience board will consist of a majority of independent directors, including current APP board members. Patrick Soon-Shiong, M.D., chairman and CEO of APP, ABI and Abraxis BioScience said Sir Richard is an important addition to the Abraxis BioScience Board. "Our goal in assembling the new Abraxis BioScience Board is to bring together directors who will bring vision, experience and expertise to guide management as Abraxis BioScience evolves into a global biotechnology company pursuing therapies for true unmet medical needs," he said. "Sir Richard's international stature and experience in building a world-class company in GlaxoSmithKline and his ongoing involvement with institutions committed to the pursuit of breakthrough, next generation technologies will be invaluable to our company. We are thrilled and honored to have him join our board." Sir Richard Sykes stated, "The science that Patrick and his team are pursuing in oncology, nanotechnology and tumor secreted proteins such as SPARC could very well change the way cancer and other diseases are treated. The results they have achieved to date are both impressive and exciting. The combination of APP and ABI has created an infrastructure with all the ingredients necessary to be an integrated leading biopharmaceutical organization developing important therapies in oncology and critical care. Over the next two decades, technological advances will lead to a whole range of new ways of managing diseases from diagnosis to cure. I believe that the structure of our industry will have to adapt if we are to fully recognize the potential of the new technologies and I am pleased to have been asked to contribute to this effort." Sir Richard was appointed Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive of Glaxo in March 1993. He led Glaxo's acquistion of Wellcome in 1995 and was a principal architect of Glaxo Wellcome's merger with SmithKline Beecham to form GlaxoSmithKline at the end of 2000. He stood down as Chairman of GlaxoSmithKline plc in May 2002 to continue his role as Rector of Imperial College London. Sir Richard initially joined Glaxo Research Limited in 1972 as Head of the Antibiotic Research Unit. In 1979, he became Director of Microbiology and an Associate Director of The Squibb Institute for Medical Research, Princeton, New Jersey. He served as Vice President, Infectious and Metabolic Diseases there from 1983 to 1986. Sir Richard again joined Glaxo in the UK as Deputy Chief Executive of Glaxo Group Research Ltd and was appointed Group Research and Development Director, Glaxo plc and Chairman & Chief Executive of Glaxo Group Research Limited in 1987. He was named Deputy Chairman & Chief Executive of Glaxo plc in March 1993 and Chairman & Chief Executive of Glaxo Wellcome plc in May 1997. Sir Richard received his knighthood in the 1994 New Year Honours list for services to the pharmaceutical industry. He sits on a number of government and scientific committees and is a Trustee of the Natural History Museum in London. Sir Richard was appointed Chairman of the Bioscience Leadership Council in November 2003. Sir Richard has recently accepted the role of Chair of the WHO International Advisory Board which oversees the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. He is currently Chairman of the Biomedical Sciences International Council, Singapore, and a board member of Rio Tinto Limited and the Lonza Group Limited. He also serves as healthcare advisor to Apax Partners Limited. He served as President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1998-1999, and holds a number of honorary degrees and awards from institutions both in the UK and overseas. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. He is a Fellow of Imperial College School of Medicine, King's College, London, a Fleming Fellow at Lincoln College, Oxford, an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, an Honorary Fellow of the University of Wales, Cardiff and an Honorary Fellow of the University of Central Lancashire.

The big political news this week has been U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) ending her presidential campaign after a private meeting with U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. After discussing the matter with New York's congressional delegation, she acknowledged Obama as the party's choice and endorsed him and asked her supporters to do the same for Democratic unity.
But will that unify the Democratic Party? Clinton and Obama supporters insist that the person they support would make the best president. There have been rumors about Obama selecting Clinton as his running mate. That might be great for the party, but would be disastrous for the candidates. There would be constant jockeying for position. I cannot picture Hillary and Bill Clinton accepting ceremonial roles and being relegated to the background. It would provide more problems than solutions.
Another interesting event that popped up this week was that both U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and Obama rejected an offer from Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ABC News to moderate a town hall meeting between them.
Speaking of Bloomberg, it appears he has been bitten by the political bug. It is our understanding via the rumor mill that he is considering running for a third term. Since the public has voted twice to maintain term limits, however, it would appear his only shot would be revising the City Charter. There does not seem to be enough time to get a revision committee together and get the process done before the end of his term, but nothing is impossible.
Last Thursday evening we attended the Queens Village Republican Club's last meeting before summer vacation at Trattoria Lucia on Jericho Turnpike in Bellerose. They apparently intend to make that their official monthly meeting place, even though they still have to vote on it.
Their guest speakers included Joe Gravagna of Beechhurst, who is running for City Councilman Tony Avella's (D-Bayside) seat. Another speaker, Tom Dooley, appears to be running for state Sen. George Onorato's (D-Long Island City) seat. The third speaker was Maj. Christopher Pimentel, a veteran who recently returned from Iraq. His group, Vets for Freedom, is seeking candidates who served their country to run for political office nationwide. All in all, it was an interesting and informative evening.
By now you are aware that Anthony Como won the race for Dennis Gallagher's former City Council seat, provided he maintains his lead after the write-in and absentee ballots are counted June 10. In any event, he will have to win a Republican primary in September and then the general election in November. That means running for office three times in six months and winning all three times. That seems time consuming and convoluted. Thank goodness this process only applies to special elections, which are rare.
The petition season started June 3. If you are a registered voter, there is a chance you will be approached by petition carriers as they attempt to get enough valid signatures to put their respective candidates on the ballot. Be a good citizen and sign their petitions. It is a grueling, aggravating task, especially in the summer.
That's it for this week.
I look forward to hearing from you with information on people, parties or politics or old-fashioned gossip.
I also like receiving voice mail at 718-767-6484, faxes at 718-746-0066 and e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Till next week, Dee.

Eligibility Checklist
You are eligible to participate in CIIP if:

• PV2: Provincial Nominee – Selected by a province other than Quebec
CIIP can serve any candidate who qualifies for one of these streams, before they arrive in Canada.
- you are completing the application process for a Canadian immigrant visa, usually in a stage where you have been requested to undergo your medical examinations, and security and background checks have been initiated
- you have received one of the following:
- an invitation letter and CIIP brochure
- a medical/security notification letter
- a visa pick-up notification letter
- a Canadian visa (but have not landed permanently in Canada yet)
- you applied for immigration to Canada through the federal system

You do not need to have received your Canadian visa in order to participate in CIIP services. The visa is an optional proof of eligibility if you do not have the other the forms of eligibility outlined above. In fact, you are strongly urged to register for CIIP services immediately regardless of whether you have received your visas or not.
Participation in CIIP is entirely voluntary. It will not affect the immigration procedures in any way. Actual participation in a CIIP orientation session is not a guarantee or an indicator that your immigration application will ultimately be successful or that you will receive an immigrant visa.
*as of June 2014, IRCC is no longer accepting applications to these two streams as the programme is being reviewed. CIIP will serve candidates belonging to these streams, when these are active again.

The log files are normally pre-allocated. I do not delete the files before or after a test, so files get reused. I have noticed that the test actually runs a little faster when it creates new files, and we have yet to explain that. > Are your writes block bounded? The block size is configurable. The default block is 2K bytes. Each block is written when it becomes full. The channel.force() is called when the write queue is empty, so if the system is lightly loaded, force() is called for each buffer, but if system is loaded, force() gets called less frequently. Depending on the hardware and OS, the average number of buffers that are forced ranges from 1.5 to 8 or 9. My measurements do not include any db IO. The test driver only logs XA protocol records, with zero think time. The objective is to determine that the log will not be a bottleneck for the TM. When I tested with "rwd" I did not change any logic, so the batching of writes into a single force() was still going on, and the force() probably was not needed because the writes were already forced by the "rwd" mode. I guess I should modify that code to get a better number when using "rwd". Michael Giroux

Westmont, IL (March 8, 2016) Sunday night on Season 13 of Food Network's Cutthroat Kitchen, BAKERSFIELD Wood Fired Grill's Executive Chef Patrick Cassata took on three other contestants to win the competition and take home $14,700.
Cutthroat Kitchen is an alternative to the typical cooking competition. The chef contestants each begin with $25,000 and auction off their money to buy opportunities to sabotage their fellow opponents. After making it through the "Enchi-Lottery," where Chef Cassata concocted a breakfast enchilada with pickled eggs, and a second round, where he had to cook a Korean-themed bibimbap dish over fire using Stone Age-era implements, Chef Cassata ended up in the final round. To seal his win, Chef Cassata made his "concrete" frozen custard in an actual concrete mixer using liquid nitrogen. To add to the humorous tone of the show, he was forced to wear faux concrete boots while creating his dessert.
A large group of family, friends, and staff, enjoyed an evening at BAKERSFIELD Wood Fired Grill in Westmont to cheer on and support their executive chef, who was also previously a contestant on season 10 of FOX's Hell's Kitchen.
About BAKERSFIELD Wood Fired Grill: Locally owned yet globally inspired, our Modern American restaurant showcases the talent of Standard Market' s accomplished culinary team. Crafted in our striking open kitchen with views from throughout the restaurant, everything you are about to enjoy on our menu is made right here-by real chefs.

Mako Reese
First Encounter
Having passed through Floaroma Town at night, Mako was unaware of what had happened to to the town or its inhabitants. He headed out to the eastern exit and started towards Pastoria Town to go meet his mother. Not long after he left, a shadowy figure holding what Mako could only perceive as a knife (due to the darkness).
"Darn Pokespirit users...YOU KILLED THEM ALL!" said the figure (barring a few obscenities), who was verified to be a man due to the tone of his voice. Mako didn't know what the person was talking about as he had no idea what a "pokespirit" was. He looked around to see if there were someone else they could have been referring to, then turned his head back to the man and started to assess the situation. There was a dark figure holding a deadly weapon at him, clearly holding spite for "something" that he did. Fear grew in Mako.
"Just kill him, just like you did the slave owner," Kraus said. "He's just a human, he should be no problem."
"But I'm not strong enough to kill him," Mako said in response, and then he quickly covered his mouth. Another slip-up. Why did he say "But I'm not strong enough to kill him" when his normal reaction would be "I can't kill another person, it's wrong"? Clearly something had happened to him, he wasn't himself. He also noticed that Kraus said that he killed the slave owner, which he denied to himself, but couldn't refute because he didn't actually remember how he arrived in Floaroma. Tears started to grow in the young boy's eyes. Kraus snickered at the clueless and distraught child.
"Stop talking to your Pokespirit!" The man yelled.
Mako thought to himself. His mind then flashed back to the stories his mother would read him as a child, one of which was a romanticized children's version of the Arceus' "Genocide". It was all a matter of time before he put two and two together.
"K-Kraus...your...I'm..." Mako was at a loss for words. Kraus' snickering turned into full-blown laughter.
It was at this point that Mako's skin started to turn into a bluish color and his hair began to grow out. Mako and Kraus were now dormant, and in their place only Creed existed. The man yelled and lunged at Creed, unaware of his transformation. Creed swiftly stole the knife with thief, and appeared behind the man. He placed the knife in his pocket, and then he turned back to the man. The man, confused as to where Creed had gone, looked around aimlessly for him. Creed tapped the man on his shoulder. The man turned around to see that Creed had his hand jutted out in front of him, as if to motion for a handshake.
"Name's Creed, Creed Reese." He said with a seemingly deceptive smile on his face. The man then holstered his knife at Creed, or rather, he tried to, but it was in Creed's possession. "Look, you can either die now or accept this handshake and die some other time. Now look, I don't know who you think I killed, but chances are I didn't kill anyone you're thinking of, and if you're simply discriminating against Mako for being a Pokespirit User...then I might just have to deal with you." The man started to shiver, apparently terrified by this new persona that the child had taken on. He slowly, and doubtfully, met Creed's hand with his own. "You got a name?"
"M-my...my name's Tarsus. Tarsus Gin," the man responded.
Creed raised his eyebrows at the unique name, and then turned the other way and started to leave. Tarsus then smiled and then threw a homebrew grenade at Creed as he departed. Creed, however, heard the clip of the grenade due to his heightened sense of hearing. He smiled and kicked the grenade into the air, where it exploded. He then ran up to the man and said, "If you're still alive, I can't wait to face you when you're stronger." He then used Dark Pulse, sending the man into the woods nearby.
Paired to and madly in love with a literal
of legs.
