Philip Morris Pledges $1 Billion to Foundation to Fight Smoking
External Content
The following content is sourced from external partners. We cannot guarantee that it is suitable for the visually or hearing impaired.
(Bloomberg) -- Philip Morris International Inc. said it will spend about $1 billion setting up a foundation to reduce the prevalence of smoking as the maker of Marlboro cigarettes aims to convert smokers into consumers of devices that don't burn tobacco.
Derek Yach, a former World Health Organization official who worked on a global tobacco treaty, will lead the group, according to a statement Wednesday. The cigarette maker said it plans to spend about $80 million annually over 12 years on the project, starting in 2018.
More than 3 million smokers have switched to Philip Morris's IQOS, which heats rather than burns tobacco. The Marlboro maker has applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval to market the device as a product that may reduce the risk of smoking-related diseases. The FDA said in July it's considering regulations that would reduce the nicotine in cigarettes below addictive levels, which led to a slump in tobacco stocks.
The new group, called the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World, said it will fund research, evaluate the impact of smoke-free alternatives, measure progress toward eliminating smoking and consider ways to prepare tobacco farmers for reduced demand.
Yach and Mitch Zeller, director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, will speak at a nicotine conference in New York on Wednesday to present the foundation.

Happy Friday, All!
Don't bring sand to the beach. Especially if the beach is already full of cute, single, southern sand.
Today's post is bright to you by The South. I love being back in the south! I honestly think I might stay a very long while. Here are five reasons why:
Why I love The South: The people. The southern gentlemen. And there are many single men. People are polite. These are my peeps. I immediately felt welcomed in a way that I've only ever experienced with southerners.
Why I love The South: The parties. My first week here and I've already been invited to two potlucks with bands, one on the beach. Although I was invited to ride along with a couple men, I am reminded of the phrase: Don't bring sand to the beach. I will most likely drive my car.
What I'm practicing: Island time. Here in particular, everyone seems to be on Island time. There's no rush. Appointments are merely suggestions, or rough estimates. People are more relaxed about setting up dates or appointments. Even though it's been over five years, having lived in the hustle-and-bustle of the San Jose Bay Area for so long, I became accustomed to that rat-race pace of life. Island time is taking some getting used to – but I am fully on board with incorporating this practice!
Why I love The South: The beaches. The sun. The gulf coast. The sunsets. The sunsets are INCREDIBLE! I have to take pictures for you all, and will tonight at the beach party (I think it's on an island – hard to tell, as they all kind of run together here). Meanwhile, here are some from a lovely lagoon.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that produces effects similar to those of PCP, dextromethorphan (DXM), and other hallucinogens. Produced in 1963 to replace PCP, ketamine is still used today in many hospitals and veterinary establishments as an anesthetic. Ketamine is a legally controlled substance, but its effects have made it a popular drug that is on the rise in the club and rave scenes, while also contributing to ketamine addiction.
Most of the ketamine available in these venues is stolen directly from hospitals and vet clinics. It is estimated that approximately 2.3 million people will use ketamine in their lifetime, with approximately 203,000 people using the drug within the past year. A 2006 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that 0.1 percent of people ages 12 and older, and 0.2 percent of people ages 18 to 25, abused the drug in the United States. Although these rates are comparatively low as opposed to rates of abuse in Hong Kong, where approximately 37.6 percent of all drug users are abusing ketamine, the effects of the drug and its increased popularity in social scenes are a cause for concern. This concern is due in part to the increased presence of music festivals across the United States and the rates of drug abuse in these settings.

How is Ketamine Used?
Ketamine goes by a variety of street names including K, Special K, K2, Vitamin K, Cat Valium, Kitty, Super Acid, New Ecstasy, Kit Kat, and Psychedelic Heroin. In some cases, individuals will mix ketamine with cocaine to enhance its effects, which is commonly called Calvin Klein or CK1. While ketamine can be abused by inhaling or injecting the drug, it is most commonly consumed via liquid or tablet. It is water soluble, colorless, and tasteless, which can make it easier to mistakenly consume as well. Ketamine is also commonly used like Rohypnol to render an individual incapable of resisting sexual assault. Both drugs are known to cause amnesia, making victims unlikely to recount the attack.
Ketamine produces effects similar to those of PCP. Users may experience euphoria, numbness, out of body experiences, depression, and hallucinations. Many describe feeling a detachment from the world around them. In lower doses, individuals experience a state of mellowness. In higher doses, people describe experiencing different worlds and dimensions that are beyond comprehension. In some cases, these experiences can be terrifying with many describing it as a "near death experience" and others referring to the phenomenon as the "K-hole" experience. When an individual reaches a "K-hole" experience, they become completely oblivious to the world around them, lose their perception of time, and are unaware of their own identities.
In most cases, symptoms do not last for a long period of time, making it easy for an individual to recover from the effects of the drug before being around others. This can make it virtually undetectable, requiring loved ones to find other signs and symptoms to identify abuse.

Call 800.465.0142 to speak with an admissions counselor.
Signs and Side Effects of Ketamine Addiction
Depending on the way the drug is used, the effects can be felt within seconds. When injected, the drug begins working almost instantaneously, but when snorted, the drug may take 5 to 15 minutes before the effects begin. While the drug is not physically addictive, it can be psychologically addictive, especially because the effects of the drug are often short-lived, yet desirable. Over time, tolerance begins to build, making it easier for an individual to abuse more of the substance in order to achieve the same effects.
As a hallucinogen, the effects of the drug can vary from use to use. Ketamine tends to magnify and intensify the emotions and state of mind of the user, which can lead to both "good trips" and "bad trips". This means that if the user is happy at the time of use, they are more likely to have a good time while under the influence. If an individual uses ketamine while feeling anxious or depressed, the effects are intensified, leading users to experience a nightmare, in which they see disturbing or frightening things. Unfortunately, there is no way to end the nightmare once it starts. Users must wait out the effects of the drug before it stops.
Ketamine can produce a number of effects on an individual, and many users become mentally dependent on the drug. Additionally, ketamine can produce psychological effects while under the influence of the drug. A ketamine "trip" lasts approximately two hours, but the intensity is dependent on dosage. While ketamine does not necessarily produce physical dependence, it can cause physical side effects as well. Signs and side effects of ketamine use and abuse include:
|Signs & Symptoms of ketamine use
|Psychological effects of ketamine
|Physical side effects of ketamine use
|Inability to feel pain (analgesia)
|Rapid eye movement
|Speech impairment
|Sensory distortions
|Memory loss
|Urinary tract infections
|Speech Difficulty
|Blurred vision
|Bladder problems
|Redness of skin (erythema)
|Respiratory failure
|Feeling of invulnerability
|Schizophrenic-type behavior
|High blood pressure
With consistent use, some of the effects of ketamine can last for over a year. Some side effects, such as memory loss and brain damage, may be permanent. As dependency develops, users of ketamine are at an increased risk of overdose, which may lead to coma or death.
Ketamine Addiction Withdrawal
When withdrawing from ketamine, users typically deal with psychological withdrawal factors more than physical withdrawal symptoms. While some physical symptoms occur, such as nausea, dizziness, and diarrhea, the mental state of an individual is more predominantly affected. Users may experience schizophrenic-type behavior, depression, and anxiety when abstaining from ketamine use.
Ketamine users are also more likely to engage in dangerous behaviors due to cravings. Many may engage in dangerous drug-seeking behaviors in order to obtain more ketamine. In some cases, individuals may resort to crime in order to feed their dependence on the drug.
Treating Ketamine Addiction
Although ketamine typically does not cause physical dependencies, the psychological dependencies that develop can make it hard to quit. Depending on the nature of the addiction, an individual has a plethora of options to treat their addiction. When co-occurring disorders are present, individuals may need to engage with a residential treatment program, inpatient care, or partial hospitalization. More commonly, those who struggle with ketamine addiction will engage with one of the following:
- Intensive outpatient care (IOP): Intensive outpatient care incorporates group and individual services into a personalized treatment plan. Individuals who are engaged in an outpatient program can continue some aspects of their normal, everyday lives while participating in therapeutic sessions. This means an individual can continue to go to work or school while participating in a recovery program. These programs tend to meet more frequently and may have stricter guidelines for participants.
- Outpatient care: Outpatient care is less intensive than an IOP. Individuals engage with a personalized treatment plan while simultaneously continuing with their normal, daily lives. Outpatient still requires regular participation and engagement, but does not meet as frequently as a more intensive program.
- Support groups: For those in need of support and assistance, support groups are a great alternative. Typically, individuals in a support group have undergone treatment for their addiction and continue to meet with a group to hold themselves accountable for their sobriety. Support groups create a network of individuals who can relate to the experiences of one another and help each other avoid relapse.
In addition, individuals who wish to engage with a more intensive treatment program have many options. The most successful ketamine addiction programs tend to incorporate therapies that address both the behavioral and psychological needs of an individual in recovery. Additionally, these types of therapies tend to be better equipped to support the emotional needs of an individual..
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Cognitive Behavioral Therapy addresses the thought patterns of individuals in order to positively affect an individual's behavior and mentality. This therapy works to replace negative coping skills with positive ones, which helps individuals avoid relapse when dealing with stressful situations and events.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): This therapy is a type of CBT used to change behaviors. It combines acceptance and mindfulness to increase mental flexibility and help individuals commit to their lifestyle change.
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Much like CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy combines mindful awareness and stress management with standard therapies to provide a more holistic approach to treatment. This helps individuals develop coping mechanisms that assist them in dealing with real world stressors.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): This type of therapy concentrates on the influence of relationships and social roles in treatment. This therapy is designed to help individuals deal with existing issues and problems that can be found in any of these four areas: unresolved grief, role disputes, role changes, and relationship shortcomings.
- Supportive programs: Engaging with programs—such as a 12-step—can greatly improve the success of treatment. These types of programs typically incorporate group therapy, individual therapy, support groups, and family therapy in order to address multiple facets of life. This helps support individuals' recovery by addressing multiple areas of life that can influence addiction, relapse, or continued sobriety.

Comic-Con: So, About That Twilight Reboot …
KStew is onboard.
Are the rumors true that somewhere down the line, Summit is intending to reboot the Twilight franchise? Who knows, but the movie's cast and crew weren't afraid to joke about it at a Comic-Con press conference this morning (ahead of the big Hall H panel to come, which will reveal new footage). "I would be open to the idea," mused Kristen Stewart. "I'd be really curious to see what it was." Her co-star Robert Pattinson joked that a reboot would be "amazing," but if they cast someone new as Edward? "I pity the person who would take over my part," he laughed. "I would make a campaign against them."
For her part, series author Stephenie Meyer doesn't expect a reboot anytime soon. "It'd be interesting to see it in twenty years," she said, because if Summit dared to cast new actors sooner, "It's not going to go well for them, I'd imagine." Still, Stewart said she would jump at the chance to return to the Twilight world herself. "If you told me tomorrow that I could reshoot these scenes, I would start vibrating," said Stewart. "I look back on it so fondly."
So if Meyer did pick up the story of Edward and Bella down the line, allowing Stewart and Pattinson one more shot at the franchise, where would things go?
"Edward and Bella get divorced, and it's kind of a Mr. and Mrs. Smith thing," suggested Pattinson.
"Who comes out of that alive?" asked Meyer.
Stewart turned to Pattinson. "I could totally rip your head off."
Meyer concurred. "Yeah, my money's on Bella."

Have you ever wondered why your Skin Care isn't quite up to scratch? Well the answer could lie in mathematics. It turns out that many of the beauty products we use on a daily basis could actually be cancelling each other out, leaving you with the same old skin problems, as well as a dwindling bank balance.
According to one Cosmetic Dermatologist, "active ingredients need to be carefully combined – if too many are used together, they run the risk of causing an irritant reaction. The other thing that can happen is that they inactivate each other, rendering them useless."
So which combinations should we be using to make our Skin Care count?
- Retinol + Salicylic Acid = 0
Collagen boosting products (retinol) are great for Anti-Ageing but should only really be used in conjunction with broad-spectrum sunscreen, rather than alongside products containing salicylic acid.
- Sunscreen + (retinoids ÷ vitamin C) = even skin tone
For an even skin tone, you should look to alternate retinoids (products containing vitamin A) with non-reactive Skin Care, such as vitamin C.
- Sunscreen > moisturiser + SPF
For the most effective sun protection, always rely on sunscreen. It's common nowadays for Skin Care products (especially moisturiser) to promise multiple benefits. However, these will not guarantee you adequate protection from the sun's harmful rays. Therefore, it's advisable to apply both moisturiser and sunscreen for maximum protection.
So is there a formula we can all use to cover the basics? Absolutely! Keep in mind cleanser + moisturiser + sunscreen, then simply add in the rest depending on your individual needs.
What's your Skin care routine? Let us know how it all adds up for you on Facebook.

Despite the promise to write on Christmas day, I've only just made it to the computer. Far from stuffed turkey, rustic veggies and roast potatoes, the past 10 days have been more like stuffed nose, rough cough and roasting temperature. Some dreadful lurgy crept up on me during the night early last week, and at its height gave me conjunctivitis in both eyes for good measure. The only Christmas wine in my house was that of me groaning from my bed.
Christmas joy.
But, I was determined not to let it keep me down, and carefully managed my energy levels. Normally I wrap up warm and go to my local church for the watchnight service on Christmas Eve, but this year I wrapped my self up in the duvet and went to bed early. I'm a generous person normally but I didn't want to give anyone a gift of flu, or whatever it is I had in abundance.
Dosed with paracetamol and various decongestants, the following morning I started to show glimpses of being on the mend. I was invited to a friends for Christmas Day dinner, and having spent the last two months feeding a homemade Christmas cake with brandy for the occasion, I was determined to deliver it personally.
By mid afternoon I had renewed energy and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Since then I have continued on a slow improvement course. Over these past few days I have enjoyed the company of several visitors, and on Monday Pauline returned from her Christmas away, which lifted my spirits even more. It wasn't until then that we swapped out gifts and enjoyed a traditional Christmas meal.
Having missed most of the activities I am now determined to get away on a trip with my bike up north. The battle is on to kick this lurgy into touch, load up the bike and head off for winter wonderland experience in the snowy Highlands of Scotland.
Next weeks blog will be all about that adventure. Until then I'll most likely find something else to whine about.
Hope you all had a fab Christmas and my best wishes for the New Year.

The following definitions may help to clarify the terms that are used frequently in discussions of biological and chemical weapons.
Bioterrorism is the use of poisons or agents derived from living entities such as bacteria, viruses, and toxic plants. Examples of biological agents include:
Chemical terrorism involves the use of chemicals to destroy life, injure humans and animals, and produce panic, disruption, and chaos.
It is important to remember that chemicals are the backbone of our daily lives. They exist in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the health and beauty aids we rely on every day. Good chemicals used improperly can cause problems, just as chemical terrorism agents can be destructive.
Chemical terrorism agents are poisonous vapors, aerosols, liquids, or solids that have toxic effects on people, animals or plants. They can be released by bombs, sprayed from aircraft, boats, or vehicles, or used as a liquid to create a hazard to people and the environment.
Some chemical agents may be odorless and tasteless. They usually have an immediate effect (a few seconds to a few minutes) or a delayed effect (several hours). While potentially lethal, chemical agents are difficult to deliver in lethal concentrations. Outdoors, the agents often dissipate rapidly. Chemical agents are also difficult to produce.
There are six types of chemical agents:

In a surprise announcement, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, unveiled Facebook's newest sister site, Fetusbook. CorruptCamel.com had the opportunity to sit down with Time's Freckliest Person of the Year and ask about his latest incarnation, and share a cheesy and delicious pepperoni pizza.
CC: Thanks for sitting down with me today. The pizza is delicious and this root beer is very refreshing.
Zuckerberg: The pizza tastes like cardboard and my Mountain Dew is flat.
CC: I've never tried cardboard and I suggested you get a root beer. But anyway, let's get started. So, what is Fetusbook?
Zuckerberg: Fetusbook is just like Facebook, but more focused on pregnant chicks, baby pictures, and baby updates in particular.
CC: Did you just say "pregnant chicks"?
Zuckerberg: No.
CC: Let me remind you this interview is being recorded. So Fetusbook is for baby related updates, but Facebook users already post baby photos and baby updates on Facebook.
Zuckerberg: Yes, but the baby discussions smother the newsfeed and make it more difficult to see Farmville and Mafia Wars updates. That's where Fetusbook comes into play.
CC: People, including myself, love seeing pictures of babies. They're cute. Can I have that last slice of pizza?
Zuckerberg: Not a chance.
Zuckerberg: Look, I'm not inhuman. I like baby pictures and baby updates too, but when is enough enough?
CC: I dunno. You're the expert. When is enough enough?
Zuckerberg: Well, there is one kind of photo that is plaguing Facebook, and because, technically, there are no restrictions against such a photo, we can't prevent these photos from being posted. Fetusbook creates an appropriate environment for these photos and photos like them to be posted and lets people, like myself, to never have to see these awkward and creepy pictures on my newsfeed. I'll show you what kind of photo I'm referring to.
photo from awkwardfamilyphotos.com.
CC: Ah, I see. The baby-daddy rubbing the melon-belly pic. Those photos are certainly creepy and no one wants to see them. Look, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't ask, but might another reason you don't like baby updates be because they act as a reminder that you're still a virgin?
Zuckerberg: I have a girlfriend and I'm worth 7 billion dollars.
CC: You failed to answer the question.
Zuckerberg:We're done.

|This article is about the current version of DF.
|"War" in other Languages
War is a state of conflict between two civilizations. During fortress mode, it's a bottomless pit of fun.
[edit] World gen
War is common during world gen; civilizations will attack each other's settlements, occasionally destroying a site or taking it over. This also happens outside of world-gen now, due to world activation.
[edit] Fortress mode
In fortress mode, war will cause sieges to arrive and bring you fun and presents. The hostile nation may attack very occasionally or every year, so be well prepared. Civilizations whom you are at war with may occasionally send a diplomat to try and end the war; you will have the option to agree to the peace treaty, or dismiss the diplomat and continue the war. You can see if you are at war with a civilization on the civilization screen. Wars may also begin without the player's knowledge or intervention.
Additionally, if your parent civilization is at war or has recently been at war, migrants to your fortress are more likely to have experience in general military skills and a random combat skill.Verify
Not being at war with an already hostile civilization, such as goblins, does not mean you won't get sieges from them. You will always get goblin sieges as long as they are not extinct, but being at war with the goblins does mean that the sieges will begin sooner, and will be bigger.
[edit] At embark
When embarking, one can check to see which races their civilization is at war with. Different civilizations may be at war with different races. Goblins are considered to be in a constant state of minor conflict with everyone else, instead of a real war; an open war with them may still break out, however.
[edit] Causes of war
The following events will make a civilization unhappy, eventually leading to war:
- The death of a diplomat while visiting your fortress (regardless of the cause of death).
- Failing to keep to the harvesting limit the elves set, if any.
- Seizing caravan goods.
- Annoying traders (such as offering the
hippieselves wood products repeatedly).
- The death of
a salesmantraders.
- May be declared "off-screen" during gameplay.
- Attempting to raid another civilization for any reason.v0.44.01
- Refusing to give them a legendary artifact when petitioned.v0.44.01

A novel approach to neutron scattering instrumentation for probing multiscale dynamics in soft and biological matter
We present a concept and ray-tracing simulation results of a mechanical device that will enable inelastic neutron scattering measurements where the data at energy transfers from a few eV to several hundred meV can be collected in a single, gapless spectrum. Besides covering 5 orders of magnitude on the energy (time) scale, the device provides data over 2 orders of magnitude on the scattering momentum (length) scale in a single measurement. Such capabilities are geared primarily toward soft and biological matter, where the broad dynamical features of relaxation origin largely overlap with vibration features, thus necessitating gapless spectral coverage over several orders of magnitude in time and space. Furthermore, neutron scattering experiments with such a device are performed with a fixed neutron final energy, which enables measurements, with neutron energy loss in the sample, at arbitrarily low temperatures over the same broad spectral range. Lastly, this capability is also invaluable in biological and soft matter research, as the variable temperature dependence of different relaxation components allows their separation in the scattering spectra as a function of temperature.

The global financial crisis did not hit Korea hard, but waves are moving through the real estate markets that have destroyed the solvency of many savings banks.
The following are some basic observations on the Korean Legal System that we have noticed.
- The Korean government is doing everything in its power to fight inflation, including using government agencies to push retailers and wholesalers to lower prices. The Korean Fair Trade Commission has been very active "enforcing" Korean Competition Law. Their target has been gas stations, car dealers, travel agents, and other retailers and wholesalers. Korean FTC Fines Korean Refiners for Collusion
- The Korean Fair Transactions in Subcontracting Act has placed more power with the Korea Federation of Small and Medium Businesses, thus, increasing the risk to those that are conducting business with subcontractors in Korea. Expect aggressive enforcement of the new Act. Fair Transactions with Subcontractors Act of Korea: So Buyer Beware or Simply Avoid the Risk and Buy the Seller?
- The Korean government is squeezed for tax revenues, thus, increasing the need to borrow. This, normally, leads to more pressure on the National Tax Service to collect taxes, thus, increasing the risk of a tax audit.
- The Korean legal system has an increased focus on raising its low international transparency ratings. This and other realities have led to the courts to be more willing to assign significant damages in cases where directors have violated their fiduciary duties to the company. Limiting Director Liability under Korean Law: Don't Drop the Insurance Policy Yet
- The prosecution is systematically losing investigative powers to the police, thus, increasing the power of the police. The police are strongly asserting that most investigative powers should be in the hands of the police and not the prosecution as is the case in the United States. With the increased respect for the police, it is likely that with each incoming administration, that the police will usurp more power from the prosecution. Fundamental changes to laws, however, will need to be made in order for the police to have true investigative powers. These changes are not likely to come anytime soon.
- The courts are more willing to protect the right to free speech when the right doesn't infringe on "privacy rights." This was evidenced in the "PD" Notebook case. An article will be posted on this matter in the future.
- Law Firms are getting larger and junior lawyer pay is decreasing. Some law firms are struggling to stay afloat.
- Korean lawyers and Korean law firms are increasing looking abroad for more business. Many local firms, including this one, have established foreign branches or associations.

Did You Know That Mike Rowe Came Incredibly Close to Hosting The Daily Show?
In an open letter to a fan about dealing with rejection, Mike Rowe revealed that he almost ended up hosting a slightly cleaner program than the one that brought him to fame. As Rowe writes, after he was fired from QVC for doing things like this, he started a laborious eight-year process of auditioning for every acting gig he could get his hands on. One of those jobs was The Daily Show, which was just in the process of choosing its first host: "The audition process was extensive, and when the dust settled, it came down to two – Craig Kilborn and me. The job went to Craig, and I was crushed."
But then came good news: Craig Kilborn soon left the desk, and the Daily Show job was open again. "This time," Rowe writes, "I wasn't going to let it get away. I did the very best job I could, and all modesty aside, I killed it. Afterwards, I was told by the producers and writers that I was about to become the new host of The Daily Show, unless — by some miracle — Comedy Central were to suddenly cough up the kind of money that could entice a proven entity like Dennis Miller or Jon Stewart." You know what happened next. But now, Rowe realizes that was the real good news: "I can't believe how lucky I was to have been rejected. It was a critical step in a long series of failures that got me to the sewer, where my redemption awaited, and a new level of job satisfaction that I frankly, never imagined."

Bayern's worst fears were confirmed on Saturday when Daniel van Buyten was diagnosed with a fracture of the second metatarsal in his left foot, an injury sustained in Friday's 3-1 defeat away to Mönchengladbach. FCB chief medical officer Dr Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt issued the diagnosis after examining the player on the squad's return to Munich on Saturday.
Professor Andreas B. Imhoff will perform corrective surgery at Munich University Hospital later in the day. Van Buyten, who has made 21 appearances and performed strongly so far this season, will be out of action for an as yet undefined period. "We can't make a credible estimate of the length of his lay-off until after the operation," Dr Müller-Wohlfahrt informed fcbayern.de.
In the 76th minute of Friday's Bundesliga restart fixture at Borussia Park, Van Buyten collided unluckily with Mönchengladbach striker Marco Reus and had to be supported from the pitch. The Belgian international left the ground on crutches.

So, a friend of mine (who I don't see that much anymore) was in town for the weekend and had decided to go to Wolff's Biergarten to watch some soccer and make merry. The missus and I very much wanted to drop in, but we had to face the general decision process that any parents of small 'uns (we have a 5 month old and 3 year old) have to go through before going pretty much anywhere. Will there be drunken lunatics present who may or may not huck a beer stein in our general direction? Will an out of control Bro-fest break out into violence? You know, that kind of stuff...
Anyhow, we saw the offer on the menu for free pancakes for children under 12 who wear soccer jerseys to Sunday Brunch and figured if we went early enough (11:30 AM) the crowd would be relatively mellow.
Upon arriving, the wife and I were happy to find 3 or 4 other families with babes in tow. The Sunday Brunch crowd seemed very mature and sedate and my father's danger-predicting Spidey sense did not tingle much at all. Very much relieved I ordered up a liter of Pilsner Urquell.
A friend of mine was already eating an order of Currywurst which is one of my favorites. He let me have a bite. The currywurst sauce at Wolff's is pretty good, I only feel that there should be a bit more. I would like the sausages to be swimming in the stuff and at least a few of the fries to be all sauce sodden and soaked. That is just a personal preference.
My 3 year old demanded french fries and I obliged.
I had the "Wolff's Wurst Breakfast Plate" with the Weisswurst. This comes with two sausages, 3 potato pancakes, and some scrambled eggs. I am a sucker for Weisswurst, these links were pretty good examples. The scrambled eggs had some tasty fines herbes going on in them and the texture was surprisingly creamy.
On the subject of the potato cakes, don't get me wrong I think they are OK. The only problem I have is that they have that sort fishy taste that comes from too high heat applied to certain cooking oils (probably Canola).
Anyhow, my biggest takeaway from Sunday brunch service at Wolff's is that it is surprisingly family friendly. It is so hard to find a place that isn't a lame "family style" eatery where you won't get looked at like you have two heads for bringing along the little ones. Having a place that is fairly casual where I can have a good beer and the daughter can stomp on a peanut or two without causing too much upset is greatly appreciated. I will probably drag my herd of four in again for a beer and sausages for a Sunday brunch or two in the future.

We previously wrote about a young girl from the community of our current public school project. She was sitting next to an adult at a roadside café eating pupusas when a gunman drove past and fired shoots. Joselyn was hit in the throat. She was hospitalized for months. When the doctors didn't have the experience to perform surgery, they contacted a hospital in Boston for assistance. Joselyn had surgery there and will need more to repair her breathing and eating functions. A recent picture shows her gaining weight and looking much better.
We are writing from El Salvador. Our first week has been spent with a Habitat Build. A group of sixteen from around the USA has gathered, some with experience and a couple of first timers. Thrivent Financial has been building homes in the Santa Ana area since the past earthquake. While building homes might be completed in this particular community, we hope Thrivent Financial continues its support of Habitat in other locations. El Salvador is still short over 400,000 homes.
The remainder of our visit will focus on our agriculture and public school projects. We continue in agriculture as food production is limited and food needs to be imported. Our projects create small businesses for poor rural families. Forty nine families participated in the past project, learning the latest practices to improve yields and some were provided rented land. All total, approximately 150 families have benefit from these small business projects. Also five women's cooperatives were established for raising chickens.
Nine high school graduates were provided scholarships to learn a trade at the technical school in Usulután. They finish studies in December but the graduation ceremony will be in March and we will have to miss it.
With continued violence throughout the country, many businesses have closed. Others and our project partners are determining what new practices can be established to protect their equipment, employees and customers. With that in mind, we have partnered to establish a Technical School for the study of agriculture in the western zone of the country. The students will need a high school education to attend. Our goal is to make this school sustainable, using many of the practices our friend Daniel experienced at Wellspring Organic Farm in Newburg, Wisconsin.
The last week will close with the dedication of the new Kindergarten classroom building that we have been fundraising for this past year. Forty students will attend in the morning and another forty in the afternoon session. After the formal dedication ceremony, the first ninth grade class will graduate. We received a special invitation so our plans include attending to enjoy one our most rewarding projects. Our donors have strengthened this public school by providing class room dividers, new roofs, windows and an air-conditioned computer lab. In adding the 7, 8, 9 grade classes, our donors have provided the desks and text books for students and teachers.
At our first visit to the school in 2013, the enrollment was 270, now it's over 500. The students stay in their community to attend school and can avoid all the gang turf wars that are penalizing the education of its youth. It's estimated over 80,000 youth stay home as the streets are too dangerous to travel. This has resulted in schools closing and teachers being laid off.
This is why school projects are so important for changing the future of the youth, families and communities.

May 10, 2009
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The #6 Carnegie Mellon University women's tennis team defeated #10 Johns Hopkins University 5-2 to win one of the eight regional finals of the NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championship on Sunday, May 10. The Tartans advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time in school history.
The Tartans led 2-1 after doubles play as sophomore Ashley Herrick (Amherst, Ohio/Elyria Catholic) and freshman Laura Chen (Port Washington, N.Y./Paul D. Schreiber) led by two early and finished first with an 8-5 score at No. 1 doubles. Sophomore Kelly Hart (Santa Barbara, Calif./San Joaquin) and freshman Courtney Chin (Cupertino, Calif./Monta Vista) finished about two minutes later with an identical 8-5 score at No. 2 doubles.
Freshman Cze-Ja Tam (Palos Verdes, Calif./Palos Verdes Peninsula) finished singles play first with a 6-1, 6-1 win in the number five spot over Abby Dwyer to give the Tartans a 3-1 advantage.
After Hopkins took the point at four singles, freshman Amanda Wu (Great Neck, N.Y./Great Neck South) brought the Tartans within one point of the victory with a 6-3, 6-1 win at No. 2 singles.

Malaysia's mobile clinics provide home care for elderly
On the outskirts of Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur, a nurse in a pink uniform arrives on her motorbike at the home of one of her patients.
She is there to look after Mr O (who has asked not to be named), a member of the elderly community in the region.
Mr O has suffered two strokes. He is unable to move and relies on being fed through a tube.
For the first two years, he made many trips to hospital. One of his daughters left her job to take care of him full time.
But now, thanks to mobile health care services, a nurse arrives every day at Mr O's home to help out.
She bathes him and uses a suction to clear his throat so he can breathe more easily. The nurse's procedures have helped reduce his hospital visits.
The service, called Love on Wheels, has been a big relief to the family.
"I know for sure my dad would not have lasted this long, especially with the complications that he's gone through in the last few years," says his daughter (who, like her father, has asked to remain anonymous).
Nursing home 'dishonour'
Mr O's situation is not unique and Malaysia's population is ageing rapidly. The government says it will be classified as an ageing nation within the next seven years.
The country is not alone in struggling to deal with personal care for elderly people.
The Local Government Association (LGA) in England and Wales says social care is "substantially underfunded" and councils are under increasing pressure.
In England, 60% of councils use 15-minute home visits for elderly and disabled people, which has been described as "disgraceful".
There are reports that some German pensioners are being sent overseas for long-term care in retirement and rehabilitation centres because of rising costs.
In Malaysia, there are nursing homes available, and the government is building more, but for Mr O's family, and many like his, there is some dishonour associated with the need for such facilities.
Malaysia is a country still rooted in traditional Asian values. Children and elderly parents often live together and look after each other.
But the alternatives to family-managed home care, like Love on Wheels, are not cheap. Mr O's family would not be able to pay for the service, were it not for the insurance provided by his employer that continued after his retirement as a civil servant.
The associated costs range from $1,500 to $2,300 (£940 to £1,440) per month for physiotherapy and basic nursing care.
Mr O's wife says: "If we were to take my pension and my husband's pension it would not have covered his expenses."
To help bridge that gap, the Malaysian government wants more mobile health companies, just like Love on Wheels, which has been included under Prime Minister Najib Razak's economic transformation programme.
The government doesn't provide the funding for the service, but pairs the firm with hospitals.
The long-term hope is that mobile health services will help ease the burden of the country's crowded hospitals at the same time as turning a profit by providing rehabilitation services, basic nursing and wound management care.
'Home is the hospital'
Love on Wheels was founded by Mohan Kumar, a former banking, oil and gas executive, who looked after his elderly parents until they passed away.
Mr Mohan said he found it hard to find professional help at home for his parents. He said one of the main problems was that most nurses have full-time hospital jobs, which means they cannot be on call for families.
"I think the chore of getting to the hospital was a challenge, especially for my mother who had respiratory problems," he says.
So Mr Mohan came out of retirement in 2009 to start his business. And he says he sees real opportunities ahead.
"We have about 2.5 million Malaysians today above the age of 60. There is a need to provide this service for them," he says.
With a capital investment of $1m, Mr Mohan broke even within two years of running the business. He hopes to expand his small team of 40 to more than 1,800 across Malaysia by 2020.
"What really makes this business a success is the low infrastructure costs. Our capital expenditure is minimal, we don't build hospitals," he says.
"Your home is the hospital, so to speak. Our expenditure is primarily on human capital - training them, giving them the skills and expertise."
With Mr Mohan's expansion plans, he hopes to be able to bring down prices and continue to help families across the country who are in need.

Geoff Taylor, chief executive of the British Phonographic Industry, believes download rates with rise again with the advent of connected cars. "As fans increasingly download music on the move, tablets, smartphones and connected cars will drive another phase in digital music's expansion," he said.

We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
We spent a most enjoyable fortnight here making full use of the terrace with its large table & comfortable chairs and the very welcome garage. The furnishings are modern, comfortable & the facilities up to date. We cooked most days using both hob & oven. Mme & Mr Claudel are most welcoming & Mme Claudel speaks good English. Communication both during the booking process and during our stay was easy. The location is ideal, next door to a cheerful cafe, very close to the lake, handy for the shops with a supermarket in easy walking distance [for a 75+ man]. Gerardmer is a delightful town, in a picturesque setting, with plenty to do or places to sit & relax. Ivy & I can recommend the apartment without reservation.
On arrival we were greeted by Aline and her husband, Tony, who made us feel like we were long lost relations! The warmth of this couple together with the beautiful studio and the stunning views made us want to stay forever! My son loved the stream trickling through the garden and I enjoyed sitting out on the terrace relaxing in this tranquil location. The homemade jams awaiting us for breakfast were a delicious treat with the brioche. My only regret was that we could not stay longer as we were en route to Switzerland! Thank you Aline and family, we look forward to returning.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- It took longer than expected and cost $42 million, but Beale Street Landing is finally celebrating its official opening with ribbon cuttings after more than a decade of construction.
Beale Street Landings architects Javier Rivarola and Ricardo Orton are from Argentina.
Their plans won a contest to be selected as the official design for the project back in 2003.
"For us it's a dream becoming a reality," said Rivrola.
Beale Street Landing serves as a docking site for river boats and will have a grill for small meals.
The duo intended the design to incorporate the river views and the blues.
The blues, however, is all some people got out of the project. The glassy and grassy hill cost more than $40 million dollars, which is $10 million over budget.
Most of that money came from taxpayers.
It also took a decade to complete, which was longer than expected.
Rivarola says that happens from time to time.
"We had to deal with the weather. We had Katrina that impacted the project a lot and you have to deal with the tides and flows of the river and that also impacted construction."
The architects are proud of how the project turned out, even though it was a bigger undertaking than expected.
"We tried to use simple materials and simple shapes to be more powerful," said Orton.
It's that simplicity that draws so much criticism from some.
"This type of project is very difficult before you begin to have an accurate budget and follow the cost 100%. You always have to deal with new things and unexpected events," said Rivarola.
Friday's ribbon cutting opened the children playground area and is called a safe opportunity to place close to the river.
Despite the rough water, it's full steam ahead for Beale Street Landing.
There will be a grand opening for the rest of Beale Street Landing Saturday from noon until 6.
