Hello Justin welcome to the men's room. Oh wow. I just could never stand on this here game was played. It Jack fan test the last but here's the story we go to New York City where police are looking for a man. Maureen eight make America great again hats and shirts. He shouted racial comments that another man. And pushed onto the subway tracks. Now the host vodka so spent gone to a brutal fight for the 44 year old man on the northbound fourth train approaching Union Station. The suspect made derogatory statement about the Latino victim's ethnicity. In the course of the fight specifically. He thought who have accused Mexicans who come into the country to bring drugs. And take Jon Daniels and his mind the job bro give. Number two man they got off the threat of fourteenth street the suspect then punched the man repeatedly before shoving them onto the subway tracks. In the employee. Out of victim's friend and not a bystander. They held them off the Franklin straightened and hospital for a head laceration but the NYPD described the suspect that they heavyset man in blue overalls. With the Red Hat and shirt displaying the slogan. Make America great again they have mapped found him yet the question is do you believe that the suspect remained closed the other guys. Content attracts is black white Asian or do you. Com. You know I'd love to ask you guys but I might have to just make this one short and sweet guy anyway. We're where it was an against nearly every city. The New York City Subway in Manhattan and they could be anybody win a match. Lot of nice to have tiger why delusion or Jew. That's correct I'm meg C was going after the just evil medalist Elena got that right guillotine you do car and bring a drug and he's had taken under I don't know what jobs in this undertaking but whenever segment that is people over. Counsel about it. Now with you mean it sounds so white that fifth joining the makes me think it's not like. New York city's got a lot of different people it if you exist on this earth your New York City Subway. That's a crazy until we have had Asian meanwhile. These digits in minutes and at this columnist who thought that out there to. Being in bloom. And the physical part about it it seems to take the Jewish part out all the Sinclair broadcasting religion believe in my believe that. I mean look I'm with you overall. Is the Manhattan sugar from it sounds pretty white but he's he's got a piece of straw and out of his mouth but. It's ten pounds so white that I think got through here right currents off the path. Let's go black I mean David did the trip to imagine what they're lukewarm and I have ma'am blue overalls make America great again had. And shirts job and those are not guess white let's make it anything other than one. He's trying to tell us why you talk Ralph Lauren I'm giving you the descriptive as nearby TV because there has ended the lights. This is not why and what they Amanda says once it was a black Asian or do addition to. An army and I. Go agents finally and I bet that the Mets. Up. And thank him. And Justin Edwards who issued a while you're Jewish. Yeah not final answer. Yet final and out. If he was black white Asian or Jewish next. That was fatigued you are listening to the men's or radio network. Get a New York City and a guy wants to make America great again it gets and he's got to certain he's got coveralls. And that he gets into a fight with a guy on a train station and basically pulls him on the railroad pushes him on the railroad tracks yeah. Before some onlookers actually got him off the track sees okay over the guy ran off to another as they description of the man I'm not sure the economy had enough of yeah Kevin Thompson is a look at the basic description to heavyset guy he's worn blue overalls. Make America great begin had to make America great again shirt anyway he Randolph but not any and we had to do believe this guy was black. Whites Asian or Jew I don't think easy and we'll Jewish joke just when Jewish. And now I'm afraid. Today. Bring overalls Jamaica where they had ads are. Black. No way that I thought but don't forget Saturday and jobs and yeah the damn that's what I mean down to the overall. Yeah and that's okay. Rubber man oh man you're never. It just felt to wiped everything about that screams and again at the original surveillance footage and you threw this out to the FBI guaranteed to be what were we were white guy he went on we might if you believe it. My rhetoric and a rabbit is why we play of the game folks. Now brought TV news all time time for TV time. Dale I know. Countless hours in front of the talking. Presents. I feel like every Danica mania and spring and bad news sent couple. More bad news though it's easy enough film world if you will. Four Vern Troy Eric. Everybody remembers him yet you probably member probably his biggest role and everybody remembered all around choice of words. How. All the women. In the role that guy in the most recognition. It was probably the role of mini me. Doctor evil while you were frozen. We began a program. To colonial cooler. Our hope he is exactly like you in every way. Except 18 yourself us. Breathtaking. Pressure causing him. Mean. Key it's a little bit more about his life and death in memoir that video the man who faced a page. Vern Troy air from early I've read to everybody really like the I guess sort eyes and see McCain as it is huge. Celebrity if you will those circles is always as huge a leopard the right. Come on to that I didn't just being mean that I usually do one thing today where he was like back in the day was caught up Paul Pierce. Remember of all let's it'll work out well that's right that's gonna work out real well don't call me mini me like he used by name but with driving with Clinton it's not primary in with I am number. With my main pol. And he was like. Is that it's burned Vern Troy there. We all know that you you know you're not gonna get in a fight. Don't know they would every wants to anybody he wants at any time while one of it's another little port. Did you might get into a fight and a citizen for. Ted and I years ago hosted some arbiter on America arrests out there this guy was only two foot left it was a small this wrestler and I mean he blows. They also look like Glenn Danzig remember that. Again if Glenn Danzig worries he still photo albums right exactly but I mean this guy and look I mean you can bring this guy broke the window if you wanted to take a little kid he just he was just not being a very nice guy that nobody was kept targeting Ted I would have walked onto meanwhile points to look man. Ridiculous that. I didn't have this big jump of the necessities as exact as he walked with and I'm glad you can't hit the damage Lagardere I don't know but there's a limit if that's stock and he was getting close that limit. You get you get the idea from the stainless. That was so mad at a dude. If you did and then he was going too far I look I got here at Helio but no matter what. Once it hits the public the people who work there all bases that you just beeped the luminous I'm Scott okay I'm announcement there. I don't know why target to do but I would they be targeted me I problem continues I intend to keep your army man goes on to beat. Beat this guys that using a jerk in the ring to it the whole thing. He was not Alaska received yeah it better and not rude who is 510. You got a guy by the end more than anybody in uniform because you can hit that he was playing the heel role in a wrestling environment in the war yet but this was come I know that per hour I a patent threat Iraq he'll keep that stick the whole night now he did less well get hurt you know adds Arab League as a stick. Yeah eleven other residents and that I met plenty of wrestlers who are the bad guys who are really nice guy. Yet because I don't like to stop you've got a couple questions so first of all we we understand this we understand that he had some problems that alcohol alcohol problem purgatory and genocide problems on studying that and oppression and the and the statement from his family pretty well confirms that that he had a short battling depression I was I was odd man if you don't okay. So they explain how I basically passed away and enough so many words but they also said that he was you know he'd been hospitalized. Either a few days are few weeks before that based on alcohol poised for a recently. So here's my question I don't know. Howled I knew it was shorts and how much she weighed. But as someone who they only ways whatever he played you know I do a shot you do was shot Ted you do Asia now if he does a shot. Based on how big you body weight Noel long I mean. If he's now a hole at what does that mean that Verne can have a beer. I mean you out of your own sandwich has watched the documentary and Andre the Giant that is exactly grow it and don't have Nazi and it's accurate fascinating thing but one of the things about him and he was notorious. For his operations alcohol appetite and understand. He wasn't drinking drugs into an alcohol but because of his sheer size the amount of Boone that he had to drink this guy put away without necessarily getting drunk. Is much different legendary T have to think right. Downside to pervert my lawyer like aren't what alcohol does this guy telling the night it could have been hard for what eight or something could have been hard from the B alcoholic is what I'm saying is if he has two Beers and these. If you Izzy and they're bankers and not a method reverend it's it's harder to be an alcohol if you're an alcoholic you are an alcoholic yet its just easier for him to get drunk okay but that's part of that though like you donate if you enjoy it and it's great. I would have to think that like he can't do two Beers a dinner getting. Could he maybe he can't I don't think I'd probably know did which was part of the problem but professor quotable. Cross and out of six pack right at dinner alone and write a mean look. If you're right in theory he shouldn't you know he should have been able to drink that much because. He's that small but I've seen some tiny women put away a lot of booze it. I have to believe he was extremely supportive and endorphins so yeah I like are we talking sick when I don't tell right would have. I don't know I mean I don't know that he would have made no more than like forty or 51 guy. How do you listen to a foot eight. Really mean that there's cause there's certain not you know little people is just a polite way. Or the correct way of things it's a polite but it's also as a result of the race there were a little visit their homes between being migrate a dwarf or independent shortsighted. Yeah. So you're right I'm sure he could have. You know what I want and I earlier because I had a little glasses and stuff I bet that would have been like always added lots of wind it. I mean I watched it's a real life for them together see that show I did not so that's a real life was on VH one basically put a bunch of lake. Like. Flavorful aid that's where he met the tall a Bridget brio that Nielsen right and they don't want to solve our relationship with this show was kind of like. Like let's just put a bunch of being able celebrities in this house than that let him have blues and do whatever they want but Vern Troy here he is pretty famous for kind of every night ended up on his little cart. Pretty pretty messed up. Yeah yeah. Gas and bodies with 49 years old that's that's pretty. Yet I did nobody wants to see that stuff that's always that is sad and telling us that everything everything's its output yet he had a serious issue with the blues but. I think everybody like dumb it was cool hanging out of them. I'm not trying to be journalism legitimate question because I don't know but if you die in in his case to put eleven and an estate that government casket. Traditional Leopold errors were six people on the casket. This from someone in standard size can Emmy for Arnold got do you. Is indeed the long enough for people ramadi would try to be nobody down at two foot eleven. Rightly put him in a casket and in the things got going to be more than three and a half four feet long and there's nothing there's nothing worse than visibly seeing that I've seen a one time in my life and tiny gulf and and it was yeah absolutely. One of the most just sold crushing moments I'll never forget it I'll never you don't face some moment gore now I think you know drag it right yeah as you all god it's just it's our god it's war. Good news out there you brought it up Michael J. Fox fifty coverage for his spinal surgery. So that's good it's better news is goodness strata get out of this one her. You are from is parkinson's and Rahal president. It's not a man yeah okay that's it it's not that got back park and it's. They say he's recovered great feeling great look afford to get back on the golf courts that decide our dad aren't but that everybody could as. And he plays golf still yeah that's impressive yeah yeah. Ha sort of it's. You have you noticed any time he's on to remember the show when I keep seeing the commercials like. And Michael J. Fox for the rest of the season whenever the show isn't. Turkey comes an army episode the weapon I realize as are talking about this. If Michael J. Fox appears on anything that's fictional knowledge he's been an element vehement more or at lake Spin City and right debt but anyway. They treated like it is the biggest freaking deal in the war and I realize that some here are mostly right any time he does anything on TV than like. Michael J. Fox. It's such a privilege and pleasure to see it played. It is a TV actor receivable time you know sitting in terms of their really taking this too far out right there and I'm just I'm trying to iron man on actor. James still here if you watch box and it all you've probably heard this man's name exactly on talking about. So this boxer's name is Adrian brown and Ager and brought honor roll number I nicknamed himself the problem. Basically. They give Floyd Mayweather smell. Without the big time victories to really battle it out lightly well I had editorials where he's a very good boxer Hillary gets to a certain level doesn't it make you win. He was fighting. Jesse Vargas. And it was a draw and you'll see why he's the problem. The. The close my. Possibly. Let's go to Jim Gray. All right thank you very much and and I'll let. I mean yeah. And put on hold on a lot you know look at his face good like beating a dead heat no more Luke mainly and well really that's what I let get away with it and yeah. And good pizza and we did and tell us some upbeat and you got his militants movie you. The man and we go get Smart one and you'll you'll leave you. The moment. Do you need lots and you can rock out how you can then he blocked out how. Would look like oh yeah I know you'll know. That is that Chris Tucker I now. So is there like it's we got in Thelma homophobic slurs kind of what act on that date now why did he confuse rod Martin Luther king and Rodney King. I'm good beat your ass like Martin Luther King what other king would divert has been in a fire I can't think of any other what other king to the policy right volume or give an injury you're giving this guy we touched okay all right and I. Might not be as document your Doctor King to if you. He did that but yeah right defensive guy but pro marriage is going on he's and I can't always says. I don't know what the homophobic stuff is he blasts and he gets you in boxing than it has yet he's a and he was he sane it's diseases like ideology is a problem. And then later our rates are about Vargas is they did yeah we could play again. But overall fight again running back but it's got to be in my hometown position too many Mexicans here then sort of ripple amazed surprised. By cutting the guys just. He's just as it is you bargain re going to be of that yet. Exactly. He's also been beaten with pat cash 69 everybody knows that both the blood comment that yeah. Yeah owning involved in that too is exactly do you wanna (%expletive) off. Well when you can't be any bad as they shouldn't call and everybody needs a little guy like that's a let me tell you say with Broder he had a big win these fights but you wouldn't be that next level lake. But Elise is Mayweather he as the belts in the record to back it up. He annoys you but he keeps winning right I think Mayweather like. You'll have to listen don't run his mouth because no one can beat Marlins like man every time a senior moment title fight. Opportunity you won't hear is you're. It's like opens the vikings fans most of your old enough to know this but if you go to in lose the Super Bowl every time you go people just want you to stop go. Or the bills you can get these firefighters and the New York because the best there is a clear difference between the best in this field where he has. And I hope he's very both really good battery and another fight anyway I get paid more I mean so it's gonna fight guy again itself. He might I don't I don't you know that was that there was a good fight for them. Ended basic versions one of those guys he doesn't do anything the first six rounds. And then he dominates the last six rounds but as we lost the first it's a twelve round fight thus you get a draw. Well let's back to make her well and some has borne we'll get Mayweather that he can land but it sure is born. Yeah you know so they have they both have that's the problem for him and the thing is it my medal Mayweather doesn't don't thing he won't lose more than two rounds of the first. I'm glad I'm doing good today is not up on the watch could be so defensive be slippery sort hit but they he doesn't look in spite of not doing anything he still doesn't lose. Rounds. Hit exactly. Money in this is a pretty strange run Allison Mack. She was on us who remain and TV show called Smallville okay. August Smallville was about the problems they Superman Superman maybe when he was child or some some some stuff. Obviously got arrested Friday in part of an alleged sex cult. You know. I saw I didn't know who she was now salt like whoa. Man this guy. Error apparently has its own brand. I wanna say Brandon me like cattle prod brand. That he would brand the genitalia. Of the ladies that are in has to Jesus Christ so if you were to happen to be in that area you would see his initials there. The guy's name right was teeth. Ring Lauren. And he branded his initials on the woman's pelvic area before forcing them in the sex slavery as they stated she helped. Recruit people into this. Self help network Cognex in. Tracing a pyramid scheme that cost out of course cost them thousands of dollars there's a shocker. But give isn't there like man they favored sex slaves they should've. That treatment even included being sleep deprived it's starved to the death star to the point that their menstrual cycle stopped. I doubt it was arrested this guy looks imprisoned they arrested this guy in Mexico or some weird place further finally caught up to him with they've they've been look at form for awhile. She ran out she was better in she chased the god damn police car all the way through town. To the police station. You she ran after the police caught the entire way this is not raised the situation. Yeah that's insane. Yeah somebody comes against them and your fans in the real physically run behind a police car all the way there and know where the girls were not crazy exactly like business is. Absolutely bat as nuts. Yeah I'm not I was not there that takes the cake. Well they're put stuff in days into it again and Ohio into a sex cult that is now wouldn't get much worse than math. And generally that's the way these things kind of work here meaning the kind of weird and twisted like. People involved are going to be pretty twisting with their own. Or you've twisted their thoughts either way membrane I thought I'd bet that that level of loyalty you can stick there and that's the thing. Smallville actress. A recipe for apart in alleged sex call them just not which you would have hit just a headline is very normal. Person like you look at a picture like. This is not look like the person messy and as that I don't expect to see if I entered a sex cult. Now like I guess is that would you look better picture is another one like cells pottery or something you know. So as you Campbell's eye exam like of the Yankee candle governor she's in very. Thank you very rigid or go to any time a demagogic headlines and led Mike you're just few minutes you are listening to the men's or radio networks it's timely and Swiss miles. Now let's see what's happening in the real well I know for a man arrested after striking boyfriend was singing a big mouth Billy backs. Meanwhile delta against passenger now believed TSA slaps a 500 dollar ticket on their acts. What does that 62000 ticking time bombs are still on the road with a man has so many encounters with scary animals your head will explode in a drunk driver crashes into another in Indiana. This time period headline. It's Sunday it's. Yes the bears might cost. I had a flight back to Colorado from Paris a woman except that it complimentary apple from attendance during the flight and decided to save it for later and put it in her carry on bag. When she hit the ground in Colorado customs agent rather the customs agent asked her if her trip to Paris was expensive. When she asked why he replied that it was about to get a lot more spends about three tacked on a 500 dollar charge for the apple and her bag. What what is the reasoning behind them most are asking to be punched in the face isn't one of those quarantines things we can't bring foreign fruits and vegetables. I mean I I'm sure that's what it is and I found that tonight she would are on the play any. Mike there're two very important questions when you come back and from customs had even on a farm in pentagon. Do you have any. Do you have any fruit or vegetables and other than that they don't give an athlete you have on to write yes I think if you were on the ground if you if you got. Mud on your she knew from a farm and is obviously good reason for the show. But that that's those are dead you can do that you're honest about the don't think oh dude I'm dead serious like if you like touch that chickens had human embryo to get back in the country we'll put it. Can rode a horse there's all kinds of oh my goodness we're. As well as she does the long plans defied the finding courts for exactly what you're saying ten. Really book burnout and I am planning an attack on a 500 dollar charge like I didn't know that what what that so. I understand the purpose of warranties or do serve very good purpose in his blood Albert is the apple already made here where's my 500 dollars due to the reality that they are fighting. I'm not an earth is fighting invasive diseases only goes five remarks like get to 500 bucks man shuttle Sarah yeah. Sometimes that calls a lot of time and I got I understand that the idea behind it. Sometimes feel gorgeous out to get your money sometimes you just did something innocent and they take your money anyway moving up. In other news we go to Florida where a man made an interest in web enjoys during an altercation with a boyfriend. The couple had an altercation that ended with a one going into the den and playing with his big mouth Billy bass with the other set was done to quote just aggravated and after throwing an official way what does Carter left the room the man retrieve it from the garbage and hurled that is boyfriend scolding a laceration on his head. Yet you wanna be able one of those tomorrow I hope to play. Oh that's a collector's item is that yes whose collective people who appreciate fine art. Port of the big Mac I think I read my feelings anymore. He was arrested for us domestic matters the fish that's a great story. But it's still saying this is in a matter of him probably net total of asylum those are my why would you go that way why is that would you take your Rajon. Not because every guy complaining right now. Think you he went in there and yet he just kept on playing it over and over and over again he left to go I don't go to the bathroom or some like demagogue the dreaded bird like Aaron Brown or. In Indiana we talked about this through the shot of the major drug drivers managed to meet each other on the roads. Control getting under the freeway on ramp and lost yourself into the car of the other. Fortunately only a couple people involved in the accident were taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries yes there's a lot to the story there's a lot of players there is there's always try my. As something I love you fought a looking for though is the EDD damage that was done during these accidents because you always hear about it whoever was drunk in the accident their. For the most part completely fine if you guys. Two cars full of drug people. Well legally and are both in the same boat for VW lives and got a DW bought as far as insurance goes I would still think. It's gonna be on her the one thing that they do admit about the guy whose car got hit he was drunk.

House Budget leader Ryan touts Medicare reform in 2012 proposal
Providers don't want to see a reduction in Medicaid tax
Ryan says his Medicare plan offers "premium support" and is targeted to individuals who are 55 and under. These recipients, who turn 65 in 2021, would be given a list of private insurance plans to choose from, which Medicare would then subsidize. Current Medicare recipients who are 55 or older could keep their current Medicare plan.
Ryan says the program would save $1 trillion over 10 years. Provider groups warn that such a move would put the elderly at risk due to a lack of requirements for specific types of care and eligibility. Medicaid and Medicare provide about four-fifths of payments to U.S. nursing homes.

Turkey has detained several journalists as part of an anti-terror probe.
Turkish news channels broadcast pictures of journalists being taken into police custody, after their homes were raided early Tuesday. The detentions are part of an anti-terror probe into what prosecutors allege is the "press and propaganda wing" of the banned Kurdish rebel group, the Kurdistan Workers' Party. A pro-Kurdish newspaper was also raided.
Worrying trend
The Turkish representative for U.S.-based Human Rights Watch, Emma Sinclair Webb, says the latest detentions are part of a worrying trend.
"The arrests represent a further clampdown on dissenting critical voices in Turkey," said Webb. "This has become a pattern, of the last few months. It has intensified since the general election. The trouble with Turkey's terrorism laws is that [they are] so widely drawn and vague that any of us can find ourselves suspect in terrorism investigation."
But Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan defends the ongoing probe, even making a thinly veiled threat against its critics, saying they should question their motives.
The probe, and another alleged conspiracy linked to the military called Ergenekon, have resulted in scores of journalists being jailed. The scale of the detentions has prompted the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to intervene.
OSCE representative for media freedom Dunja Mijatović met earlier this month with government officials.
"There are more people put in prison. Very long detention period - more than 1,000 days, sentences of 166 years in prison. So that in the end, we had to intervene," said Mijatović. "Of course, this issue of imprisonment, it cannot be treated as a technical issue because we are talking about people behind bars, about human beings. My office clearly spelled out to the government we do not [want] in anyway to interfere [with] the legitimate right of any government to fight terrorism. But this case of 66, at the moment, people that are journalists that are in prison in Turkey needs very urgent remedies."
Mijatović says she received commitments from the government to reform, but was not given a timetable for change. The OSCE concern follows that of the European Union, which Turkey is seeking to join. The EU annual report on Turkey, published in October, criticized Ankara about freedom of the press.
Government's position
But Turkish Minister for EU Affairs Egemen Bagis dismissed the criticisms.
"If you consider the report to be a photo of Turkey, what I can say is the model of the camera that took the picture of Turkey is an old model," said Bagis. "I think it is time for Europe to change the lens, and to focus better."
Earlier this month, Turkey signed a protocol with Russia to combat what both countries claim is the politicization of human rights by international bodies such as the OSCE. The Turkish government argues that rather than restricting media freedom, it has allowed more critical reporting on the military, once a taboo subject.
Political columnist Kadri Gurcel for the Turkish daily Milliyet acknowledges such reforms, but argues that old taboos have merely been replaced by new ones.
"There are new [taboos] erected," said Gurcel. "Reporting has become a quite difficult and ambiguous affair in Turkey. Because reporting on questions that the government does not wish anything reported on, it has become very risky."
The government's ending of the once omnipotent army's political power has seen Turkey being presented by some as a role model for emerging democracies of the Arab spring and the wider region.
But former Turkish ambassador and teacher of international relations at Kultur University, Murat Bilhan, says the journalist detentions and the resulting intimidation in the wider society is a worrying sign about what direction Turkey is heading. He says the removal of democratic checks on the government could have major regional repercussions.
"Turkey is changing to a civilian dictatorship now," said Bilhan. "If this continues like that, our allies and partners will feel [it] to their bones. Maybe hostile Turkey, more 'Arabized' Turkey, Turkey changing its identity."
The government dismisses such concerns, saying it is defending democracy, rather than threatening it. But with more journalists jailed nearly every month, observers say that argument will prove increasingly hard to sustain.

Call it a generation-skipping succession plan.
When 62-year old industry veteran John LaPann decided it was time to hand over the reins of Federal Street Advisors, the $4 billion Boston RIA and family office he founded 22 years ago, observers may have reasonably concluded his successor would emerge from the ranks of firm veterans now in their 50s.
Instead, Federal Streets new president and chief investment officer is Kristin Fafard, the 46-year old former director of research -- and Jennifer Christian Murtie, 38, the former director of client services, is taking over as the new chief operating officer. LaPann will remain actively involved with the firm as chairman, focusing on spending more time working directly with clients, he said.
The appointments were made with the full backing of the fiftysomethings, LaPann says. Everyone was part of the process he said. We wanted leaders who would be strategic, fearless, diplomatic and well-regarded, and thats why the fiftysomethings stepped aside. They universally felt that Kristin and Jennifer were who they wanted to lead the firm.
As Daniel Gross, a 56-year-old principal and shareholder of the firm put it, as the process went along, it became increasingly clear that there was energy and dynamism in Kristin and Jennifer that was inspiring the rest of us. In their previous roles, Kristin and Jennifer had both proven their leadership and very much earned their stripes in our eyes, so the decision became an easy one.
Whats more, LaPann added, by opening up Fafard and Murtie's former roles, the move allowed other younger advisors in the firm to expand their roles and grow professionally. Federal Street is also interviewing to add a lead advisor to its staff of 28 client-facing advisors.
Industry observers applauded the strategy.
I believe John has wanted the firm to remain independent and I don't believe he is planning on retiring at any time soon, so the appointments were smart moves on his part, said Steve Prostano, the former chief executive of Boston-based Silver Bridge Advisors, which competes directly with Federal Street.
Balancing the firms growth with cultural issues such as teamwork and accountability will be her biggest challenge as president, said Fafard, a five-year firm employee who previously headed the investment research group for MassMutuals retirement services division.
We want to manage our growth carefully, Fafard said. Were particular about our investment choices for clients, and the larger you get, the less particular you can be.
Federal Street, whose average client size is approximately $50 million, has long been considered a model independent advisory firm (and a takeover target), distinguished by both its reputation as an innovator in socially responsible investing and its fixed-fee pricing.
We negotiate a dollar amount with clients based on the size of the asset pool, complexity and service requirements, LaPann explained. We may lose a little when the market goes up, but were protected on the downside.
Social investing has been particularly attractive to second- and third-generation clients, Fafard said. Theyre more interested in sustainable investing and taking their philanthropic interests into their investment portfolio.
Federal Street has developed a reputation as a leading player in the Boston marketplace, noted one-time rival Prostano, who also cited the firms outstanding investment platform and investment consulting capability.
Nationally, Federal Street is in a class of about a half-dozen firms in the country in terms of size, client experience and business efficacy, according to Jamie McLaughlin, a Darien, Conn.-based industry consultant who works with high- and ultra high-net-worth wealth management firms.

When it comes to furnishing your home with shelving and furniture, measuring your space properly and buying appropriately-sized furniture is crucial to achieving a nice Feng Shui. If you mess up your measurements, it usually means you have to return your oversized furniture and start your planning again. Sometimes, a measuring mishap can be a blessing in disguise, though.
When one family purchased three IKEA Expedit shelves to fill up the corner space in their front room, they measured their space wrong and ended up with a shelf that was about five inches too wide. If you've ever built IKEA furniture, you know that assembling it isn't exactly a cake walk. There are always an absurd amount of small pieces involved and the instructions are quite minimal. Putting it together only to take it apart again is a daunting task. Rather than return the whole thing, this family thought outside the box.

The Magic of Smile Makeovers
Your smile says a lot to others about your personality and how you take care of yourself. Often, it's the first thing that people notice about you. Unfortunately, teeth that are stained, broken, or otherwise damaged may not give the impression you'd like. If you're unhappy with your smile, it may be time to consider getting a smile makeover.
What is a smile makeover?
You've heard of makeovers for hair or clothes, and a smile makeover is just what it sounds like. The goal is to make improvements on the aspects of your mouth that you dislike, and end up with a smile that you are proud of and improves how you feel about yourself. Each person's smile makeover is different, as some people need only minor cosmetic changes while others might require extensive dental work.
What can you expect?
The first step is selecting a qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist who performs the procedures you might like. Make an appointment for a consultation to discuss the things you're not happy with about your smile, and find out what the dentist recommends for improvements. The dentist will examine you and note your goals and features. Some things that might be discussed are the size, shape, and color of your teeth, alignment issues, gum health, and the overall balance of your mouth and face. Don't hesitate to ask questions and state your goals.
What are some common smile makeover procedures?
- Teeth whitening to brighten your smile
- Porcelain veneers to hide imperfections
- Bonding to repair chips or breaks
- Crowns to repair teeth
- Gum contouring to correct the appearance of gums
- Implants to restore missing teeth
- Bridges or dentures for missing teeth
- Braces to alter alignment or tooth placement
These are some of the popular procedures that Beaverton cosmetic dentist Dr. Enayati offer, but there may be even more choices of ways to give you the beautiful smile you've always dreamed about.read more
Knowing if Dental Veneers are Right for You
A smile that causes embarrassment is one way to bring a person down in most areas of life. It's hard to enjoy talking, eating, laughing, or other activities if you're hesitant to show your teeth. One way that cosmetic dentistry can change your smile is with dental veneers.
What are veneers?
Dental veneers are extremely thin shells that are adhered to the fronts of your teeth to cover problems. They hide problems that might make you embarrassed or uncomfortable about your smile. Veneers don't require extensive tooth reshaping and are customized to your specific teeth.
What are the benefits of getting veneers?
Providing a natural appearance, veneers give you a whole new smile. The color may be chosen to either match your real teeth or give you a whiter look. Porcelain is the most common material for veneers, and it resists future stains. Also, gums are usually not irritated by contact with the porcelain. Veneers are a long-lasting, durable solution.
What problems can veneers help?
Dentists recommend veneers for patients with issues such as these:
- Broken or chipped teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Stains or discoloration from foods, medications, and personal habits
- Worn down teeth from overuse
- Uneven, misaligned, or misshapen teeth
Who is not a candidate for veneers?
Dental veneers aren't the best solution for everyone. Your dentist may advise against veneers if you have any of the following conditions:
- Untreated tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Insufficient tooth structure or enamel due to excessive wear or large fillings which won't allow the veneers to attach properly
- Teeth grinding habit which can cause the irreparable veneers to break

Selecting a Cosmetic Dentist
Getting cosmetic dental work done is a great way to improve your appearance and self-esteem. The first step in changing your look is to choose a good cosmetic dentist who can help you achieve your smile goals. As you are looking for the right healthcare professional, here is a list of questions that you may want to ask in order to reach your decision.
What are the dentist's qualifications?
Cosmetic dentists can become accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). This indicates that the dentist has taken education and training in cosmetic dentistry, passed related examinations, presented cases of cosmetic dental procedures to a panel of experts, and taken an oath for high ethical standards in cosmetic dental treatment. Accreditation by the AACD means that the dentist should be highly qualified, so looking for a professional with this stamp of approval is a good idea.
Does the dentist have experience in the procedures of interest to you?
Before visiting the dentist, it's smart to research the types of procedures you think might help you. That way you can ask the dentist specifically about those treatments and if the dentist is experienced in them, as well as learning about other procedures you may not know about.
Can you see examples and speak to other patients?
Ask to see photographs or case histories of other patients so you can see the dentist's handiwork for yourself. Ask about speaking to the patients to find out about their experience with the dentist and practice. Feedback from other patients is a great way to help you form a realistic impression of a dentist.
Does the dentist pursue continuing education?
AACD accreditation requires the dentist to participate in continuing education and learn about new technology, so this should be something a qualified dentist pursues. Cosmetic techniques are constantly being updated, so a dentist should be willing to learn and incorporate the latest advancements.
What about the service, atmosphere, and office itself?
The dentist and staff should be friendly and willing to make you feel comfortable and confident in the practice. The atmosphere should be inviting, relaxing, and reassuring. The office should be clean and professional, as well as equipped with modern technologies.

Improving Your Oral Health Through Dental Implants
Advancements in dentistry have given people with missing teeth a chance for better oral health and beautiful smiles through dental implants. These restorations provide a permanent way to regain a natural-looking appearance. Made of durable titanium and fused directly into your jawbone so that they become part of your body, implants provide many benefits for patients over other alternatives like dentures.
Less discomfort
Removable dentures have a reputation of being rather uncomfortable for many patients. Implants eliminate discomfort because they permanently become part of your mouth. There is none of the gum irritation common with dentures, and you can enjoy your normal diet and lifestyle.
Better appearance
Because they are fused into your jaw, implants look and feel like your natural teeth. It's hard for anyone to tell you have them, and they get rid of any holes in your smile created by missing teeth.
Easier care
No messy adhesives are needed with implants, and no worries about the possibility of losing your restorations. Fears are gone about your dentures popping out or coming loose during eating or talking. Oral hygiene is performed just like with your natural teeth.
Healthy alternative
All of your other teeth remain unaffected and your long term oral health is even improved. This is because implants stimulate your jawbone growth and prevent damage to the structure of your face.
Improved speech
Poor fitting dentures can negatively impact your speech, but permanent implants don't affect your ability to talk normally.
Increased confidence
Without gaps in your smile or worries of restorations slipping in your mouth, your self-esteem and confidence will be improved.
Improved durability
Dental implants usually last 10 to 15 years with proper care and checkups. They are a great long-lasting solution for many patients desired to permanently replace missing teeth.
Symptoms and Benefits Surrounding Root Canal Treatment
Sometimes tooth pulp, which is at the interior of each of your teeth, becomes infected or severely damaged. When this occurs, often root canal treatment is the best way to save your tooth. It involves removing the damaged tooth pulp, cleaning and sealing it, and placing a crown on top. The dangers of losing your natural tooth are eliminated.
A variety of symptoms can indicate a problem inside your tooth. Here are some of the most common signs:
- Pain – probably the most well-known symptom of a problem is sudden or unprovoked pain. Damaged tooth pulp can be caused by severe decay, bad crowns, chips or cracks, teeth grinding, infection, trauma, repeated dental procedures, or gum disease. Inflammation can result, which leads to pressure building up inside the pulp cavity and impacting the nerves of the tooth. Severe pain can result.
- Referred pain – inflammation and tooth pain may lead to referred pain, which means that it is hard to locate the source of your pain. Often pain occurs when you consume hot or cold foods or drinks.
- Facial swelling – the area near your affected tooth may swell enough to be noticeable on the outside of your face.
- Gum swelling – the gums near the affected tooth might swell and become irritated.
- Tooth loosening – your damaged tooth may begin to loosen.
- Pus – sometimes pus oozes in the area around the affected tooth.
- Discoloration – damage to the tooth pulp may be evidenced by tooth discoloration.
- No symptoms – sometimes there are no symptoms of a damaged tooth pulp. X-rays or other dental tests can reveal problems that you don't realize exist. This is one reason that regular checkups are important for good oral health.
Root canal treatment offers numerous benefits. It can save your tooth, which allows for a more natural appearance and proper function. Your other teeth benefit because they are not exposed to greater wear related to missing teeth. Real teeth provide normal sensations in your mouth and standard biting force. Your diet can remain the same instead of having to eliminate foods based of abnormal mouth function. With all these benefits, there's no reason to avoid this safe and effective procedure.

Bruxism: Teeth Grinding and Jaw Clenching
Many people clench or grind their teeth, but often don't even realize they are doing it. That's why it's important to recognize the symptoms of these behaviors, as well as maintain regular visits to the dentist because the signs will be noticeable to a dental professional.
Here are some things to watch for and suggestions on how to deal with bruxism.
Bruxism is when you hold your top and bottom teeth tightly together or slide your teeth back and forth against each other. Dentists say that there are a variety of causes for bruxism, such as smoking, sleep disorders, depression, caffeine, medications, anxiety, and drug use. The overall common link to these behaviors though is reported to be stress.
It's important to know what effects to look for that might indicate you are grinding or clenching your teeth. Common signs include:
- Aching facial muscles and jaw
- Headache
- Ear ache
- Inability to open your mouth as wide as usual
- Trouble sleeping
- Disrupting others when sleeping due to noise caused by grinding
- Irritated or receding gums
- Tight or stiff shoulders
- Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
- Uneven or excessive tooth wear or breakage
If you experience any of these symptoms, visit your dentist for a checkup. Bruxism patients may be fitted with a night guard, an appliance worn while sleeping to protect your teeth and help relieve your symptoms. Your dentist will also help you identify the cause of your bruxism, likely stress. In addition to determining the source of your stress and trying to reduce it, there are some techniques to relieve stress and reduce your bruxism symptoms that may be helpful. These include practicing yoga, eating anti-inflammatory foods, performing deep breathing exercises, journaling to release distracting or nagging thoughts, and exercising to release tension.
Targeting the root cause of your bruxism is a good way to get control of the problem, and seeing your dentist for ways to protect your teeth and gums will help save you from suffering the effects of bruxism.read more
Avoid Cosmetic Surgery with a Smile Makeover
Is your face aging you, but the idea of cosmetic surgery isn't appealing? It may be time to consider a smile makeover. If your smile is dark, dingy, crooked, gapped or haggard, it adds years to your appearance. Cosmetic dentistry offers many non-invasive options to restore the youthful appearance of your smile and, as a result, take years off of your looks.
With aging, teeth can shift, darken, become chipped and may even fall out. These issues decrease the volume in your face, thin your lips and alter your bite. Because your teeth support the lower portion of your face, all of these problems combine to create an older appearance. A smile makeover performed by a qualified cosmetic dentist can correct these problems and put the youthful glow back in your face.
Smile makeovers offer a variety of options to correct the dental problems causing your face to age:
- Professional teeth whitening to brighten dingy, dark, or dull teeth
- Porcelain veneers to mask uneven or damaged teeth
- Mini dental implants to restore missing teeth
- Tooth-colored fillings to replace old, dark metal fillings
- Dental crowns to repair chipped or cracked teeth
- Composite bonding to fix the shape and color of a tooth
- Invisalign or SPEED braces to correct crooked or misshapen teeth
When you are looking to improve your facial appearance, cosmetic dentistry offers many attractive alternatives to costly and complicated cosmetic surgery. A smile makeover combines treatments to achieve the goal of subtracting years from your appearance. In cooperation with a qualified cosmetic dentist, you can create a smile makeover plan that will keep your smile from aging you and result in a more refreshed and youthful look.read more
Planning for Your Cosmetic Dentistry Appointment
Congratulations on your upcoming cosmetic dentistry treatment! You're on the road toward obtaining the smile of your dreams. Before your appointment, however, it's important to make any necessary arrangements that will allow you to get home safely and recover quickly and completely, without complications.
If your cosmetic dentistry procedure requires sedation of any kind other than laughing gas, you may not drive yourself home after your appointment. Sedation dentistry, even that which is administered by an IV, is conscious, but it leaves the patient feeling dreamy and sometimes woozy or dizzy, and although you may walk and talk and respond to instructions, you are not alert enough to drive. Driving after sedation dentistry can lead to a terrible accident in which you or someone else may be hurt. Avoid this serious issue by arranging a ride home with a trusted family member, friend or coworker.
It's important to wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, especially if you're going to go right home to rest. Teeth whitening or dental veneers are simple cosmetic procedures that require little, if any dental sedation; however, dental implants, crowns and bridges or gum treatments will require sedation and therefore calls for rest at home afterward. Wearing soft clothing can allow you to slip right into bed or to recline comfortably on the sofa to begin your recovery.
Many procedures will leave you with a need to consume soft foods and tepid liquids. Have plenty of yogurt, applesauce or soft cheeses on hand. Milkshakes can be an excellent source of calories and energy following cosmetic dentistry.
Be sure to have plenty of anti-inflammatory pain medication on hand, such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium. This can ease common post-procedure discomfort.
Ask Beaverton cosmetic dentist Dr. Enayati for more tips on how to prepare for your particular treatment. Just a little work ahead of time can make your recovery so much more comfortable.read more
Making the Most of Your Dental Veneers
One way to immediately change the whole look of your smile is to get porcelain dental veneers. These thin shells bonded securely to the front surfaces of your teeth can alter the color, size, length or shape of your teeth. The exact shade of the veneers is chosen by you and your dentist to achieve your specific smile goals. They look very natural and your existing chips, cracks, stains or gaps will be long gone when you flash your pearly whites.
Veneers are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry today. They typically last from 10 to 15 years if you take good care of your teeth and follow your dentist's directions.
Here are some guidelines to follow that will help you protect your new smile.
Practicing good oral hygiene
One of the greatest advantages of veneers is that they don't require extra care; follow your normal oral hygiene routine! Brush at least twice a day and floss once a day. Even though veneers aren't susceptible to decay, your natural teeth underneath still are. Brushing and flossing helps protect them from damage and extends the life of your veneers.
Using the right tools
Choose a soft toothbrush that won't harm your veneers or teeth. Hard bristles can scratch your new smile. Also select a gently toothpaste without harsh abrasives.
Watching your diet
Avoid foods and drinks that are prone to staining teeth. Although your porcelain veneers resist stains, the adhesives that attach them are not and can become yellowed or discolored. Avoid items like coffee, teas, sodas, dark sauces, or berries and get in the habit of drinking through a straw.
Avoiding hard objects
Veneers aren't as strong as your real teeth and may chip or break. Steer clear of chewing on hard objects like ice, pencils and fingernails. Never use your teeth as tools for opening things.
Breaking bad habits
You can severely harm your veneers by teeth grinding or clenching. Ask your dentist for help stopping bad habits like these, or consider getting a mouth guard made to protect your teeth.

Warning Signs after Root Canal Treatment
Root canal procedures are a common element of dentistry. They provide a great way to save teeth that have severe decay or damage. Whether or not the tooth is causing pain, it may require root canal treatment for the best results. If this happens to you, seek treatment from a qualified and experienced dentist.
After your procedure, you will be given instructions for caring for yourself during recovery.
There are some typical signs to watch for that you will want to consult your dentist if you notice them during your recovery.
Most patients only need over-the-counter pain medication following root canal treatment. If you experience pain that these medications do not relieve, ask your dentist for stronger prescription medication. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, including dosages, timing, alcohol or driving restrictions.
It is a normal side effect to have some swelling after a root canal procedure. Use ice during the first day of recovery and any longer as directed by your dentist. If swelling worsens or comes back, contact your doctor.
If you notice a pimple near the affected tooth, call your dentist because it may require an appointment to ensure an infection isn't starting. This is especially important for an upper tooth to avoid an infection spreading into your sinus cavity. If an infection develops, it is usually treated with an antibiotic.
Loose stitches
If you believe a stitch seems loose, call your dentist to determine if a new stitch is needed. This can occur as a result of eating hard foods too soon, or even just from poking around the area too much with your finger or tongue. Most stitches dissolve on their own, but your dentist will tell you if a follow-up appointment is needed to remove them.
A root canal procedure is often the best way to save a damaged tooth. Don't hesitate to undergo treatment when it is recommended. If you are alert during recovery and follow the instructions, you should feel as good as new in only a few days.

That is all.
Each week more boring than the last. This week I fought with the
details of redoing the player's hull system. The current approach
is pretty neat, but sadly will not take well to sprite art. I'm
pretty sure this is largely thanks to my love of vector games (and
my use of vector art instead of sprites as placeholders); so, I
frequently overplay my object-deformation hand.

Ship Shape
Thu, Mar 19th 2009, 11:00
Now, to make this work I've distilled it down to a small palette of different designs, each offering a unique purpose / focus. This should actually make ship building simpler and more straightforward for the player, even if it does lose some of its previous "Hey, neat!" factor.
It's now just a matter of implementation. I'm also intending to do the unthinkable and drop in some placeholder art for these so we can get some people playing it sooner rather than later.
For my part, very minimal work this week. Implemented some more
new art and did some light refactoring of Ooze. I'm feeling
miserly, so no new screens this week.

Well, it's just a few days shy of a year since I switched gears
and started working on Spacegame. I can say it's come quite a
long way, even if it took longer to get here than I originally
wanted. I definitely could've been done by now had I not wasted
so much time fighting over what to do for the combat system or
chasing other endeavors. Interestingly, because of these detours
I was able to recruit the supremely talented
Hyptosis and am also
significantly more confident in the design, having had the
opportunity to explore some other paths.

Recent progress mostly boils down to implementing the new art assets as I get them. Since there isn't much else to talk about, I'll celebrate this temporal milestone by offering the one thing I never do: screens. Full resolution ones at that (click to see full size). Yeah, who loves you?

Presidential power has been on a pathway of expansion beyond what the Constitution outlined, and what a government of, by, and for the people requires, since George Washington was president.Details
While the Framers understood the need for a federal government, what concerned them was the possibility that such a government would become a worse menace than no government at all. Their recent experience with the British government – which of course had been their government and against which they had taken up arms – had reinforced what they had learned through their study of history: that the biggest threat to the freedom and well-being of a people was their own government.Details

Last week I discussed our worsening economic situation and the fact that there are very few options for the new administration to improve things in the long run. The same is not true on the foreign policy front. Our interventionist foreign policy stands ready to be put on a new course with the new administration. Unfortunately, it seems the new administration is likely to continue the mistakes of the past.
I've often discussed interventionist foreign policy and the resulting blowback. The current administration's foreign policy, I'm afraid, has created a huge impetus for blowback against the United States. However, I truly believe much of the world stands ready to look beyond our nation's recent blunders if the new administration proves to be heading in a more reasonable direction.Details
