NEW YORK (AP) — Television viewers tuned in to see TV stars celebrating each other but didn't ignore what else the medium had to offer.
The Nielsen ratings company said that on the night that "Breaking Bad" won an Emmy Award for best drama, the penultimate episode of the AMC series set a viewership record. An estimated 6.6 million people on Sunday watched "Breaking Bad," which was airing when the cast got its award. The series finale is scheduled for next Sunday.
The 3.3 million people who watched the series finale of "Dexter" opposite the Emmys represented not only the series high for the serial killer drama but the biggest audience that Showtime has ever gotten for one of its original series.
Despite the competition, the Emmy Awards were seen by an average of 17.6 million viewers, an increase of more than 4 million over the show's audience last year. The CBS telecast was undoubtedly helped by airing directly after pro football in the East and the Midwest.

The "Devious Maids" season finale Sunday on Lifetime drew 3 million viewers, a series best, the channel said. The drama, from "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry, has been renewed for a second year.
Nielsen's lists of the top programs and network averages weren't immediately unavailable Tuesday due to what the company said were processing delays. It was unclear when they would be released.

Andy McCarthy blows away the claim that General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, recently installed to head Egypt's military, has connections with the U.S. in which we should take comfort. The Wall Street Journal made that claim in a profile of Sissi. So, to a lesser degree, has the Washington Post.
The claim is important because Sissi's predecessor did have meaningful connections with the U.S. If Sissi does not, then our position in Egypt has diminished even more than we thought. And if Sissi's real connections are with the Muslim Brotherhood, then the military cannot be expected to counterbalance the Brotherhood, as many have hoped it would.
McCarthy demonstrates that Sissi's connection to the U.S. provides no basis for believing he will be friendly to our interests and non-hostile towards our allies, or that he shares our view of the world (to the extent that, under President Obama, our world view hasn't shifted dramatically). The Journal cites Sissi's training at Fort Benning, Georgia and his working relationship since then with the U.S. military. This may mean that Sissi has been influenced by U.S. views on matters such as military tactics and logistics. But it tells us next to nothing about his ideological sympathies. As McCarthy notes, Ali Mohamed — a high-ranking aide to Osama bin Laden who drew up the plans al-Qaeda used to bomb the American embassy in Kenya — was not only trained in the U.S. as an Egyptian soldier, he actually served in our armed forces.
During the Cold War, the running joke in countries like Ethiopia was that if you wanted to know where the sympathies of a new military dictator resided, just check where he received his military training. If he got it in the U.S., he was probably pro-Soviet; if trained in Russia, he was probably pro-American. Even if familiarity no longer breeds contempt to that degree, it certainly does not breed ideological harmony.
But with Sissi, we don't have to guess about his sympathies. According to the Journal, Sissi has a broad reputation within military circles as a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer. Indeed, he is "known inside the military for being a Muslim Brother in the closet," according to Zeinab Abul Magd, a professor at the American University in Cairo and an expert on Egypt's military.
Perhaps this helps explain why, under Sissi, the Egyptian military conducted "virginity tests" of female protesters during the revolution last year.
But how do we explain why, according to the Journal, Sissi is liked by senior Obama administration officials? Is it because these officials are unaware that Sissi is a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer and have simply been charmed by the General? Or is it because his sympathies with the Brotherhood do not concern the Obama administration?
I don't know. But we do know that the administration has persistently discouraged the military from acting to counterbalance the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. It seems likely, therefore, that the Obama-Clinton team is fine with the Brotherhood's ascent, and that Sissi's status as a closet (for now) Brotherhood man is of no concern to those in charge of U.S. foreign policy.

Bone marrow biopsy for CLL
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I had a blood test a few months ago and a moderately elevated white blood cell was reported "consistent with CLL". Approximately 6 weeks later, I had another test taken by another lab and the white blood cell count was unchanged. A bone marrow extraction was recommended to me after the 2nd test to provide a definitive diagnosis. I understand that a bone marrow extraction is very painful and I also understand that CLL is not treated unless symptoms develop or the white blood cell count soars. Since I have no symptoms and a white blood cell count which is only slightly elevated, I can't see any point in submitting to a bone marrow extraction. I have not returned for a bone marrow extraction nor have I had a blood test for several months. Am I wrong in my thinking here?
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
As you have mentioned, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disease that is often diagnosed by blood work. Often we can confirm the diagnosis by doing specialized tests on the blood, without having to do a bone marrow biopsy test (which is not as horrible as you describe). Although we no longer feel that a bone marrow test is necessary to make a diagnosis if the special tests confirm CLL, a bone marrow test may still be done if the blood tests are not diagnostic, if there are abnormalities in the blood other than the elevated white blood count or to potentially provide some prognostic information based on the pattern of involvement of the bone marrow. As far as blood tests, in general I recommend that patients have blood tests and a doctor's visit regularly, (every 3 months at first).

Exercise, exercise, exercise. We all know the benefits of exercising. But if you say you never have time, I tell you—you are never too busy to keep moving. Get up from the couch and just start moving. Any physical activity that gets your feet moving already falls under the category of exercise. Gardening, sweeping the floor, mopping, walking up and down the stairs, walking the dog—these are wonderful ways to be active.
Daily exercise will energize your body in addition to providing many other health benefits. By increasing the circulation of your blood, oxygen is carried to all parts of your body more effectively. This increased blood flow dynamically nourishes and oxygenates your cells, making them (and you) very happy and vibrant! Exercise strengthens and tones your heart and muscles, burn fats and keep you limber and gives you energy and vitality.
There are two basic types of excerise: aerobic and anaerobic.
Aerobic exercises require high oxygen consumption which brings cardiovascular benefits to the heart, crculatrary system and all the tissues and organs of your body. Running, walking, swimming, dancing, bicycling and exercise equipment such as a stairmaster or a stationary bike provide great aerobic benefits
Aerobic exercise health benefits
- Improved circulation and lower blood pressure
- Increased lung capacity through stronger respiratory muscles
- A stronger heart, which boosts pumping efficiency and lowers the resting heart rate
- Increased red blood cell count, which transports oxygen more efficiently throughout the entire body
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
Anaerobic exercise does not required high oxygen consumption, but will tone the body and increase lean muscle mass, while descreasing body fat. Weight lifting, sprinting and jumping, carrying heavy objects and various forms of physical labor are example of anaerobic exercise.
Anaerobic exercise health benefits
- Stronger bones
- Reduced muscle atrophy with age
- Increased speed and power
- Increased muscle strength and mass
A main difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise are the fuels each uses. Again, anaerobic exercise uses carbs or sugar. Aerobic workouts use some carbs but also lots of fat as fuel. In fact, the more fit you are the more fat you use during aerobics. Also, the gentler the activity the more fat you use. As intensity is raised, carbs are increasingly relied on to fuel activity.
For a better looking body with more vibrant and efficient cellular functioning in all your tissues and organs, combine stretching exercise with both aerobic and anaerobic –and be the best you can.

Dr. Greene's Answer:
Neurofibromatosis (a.k.a. von Recklinghausen's disease) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes benign tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time. At least eight varieties of NF exist and can range from very mild to quite severe, but fortunately none are as disfiguring as the tragic case of the Elephant Man (who we now know did not have NF).
Café-au-lait spots are a classic feature of this disease. These flat birthmarks with distinct edges are a bit darker than the surrounding skin. In light-skinned individuals, they are the color of coffee with lots of cream. In those with darker skin, they can be the color of a rich, full-bodied, black coffee. The spots can increase in size, number, and darkness throughout childhood.
Having one to three café-au-lait spots is quite common, present in as many as one in five healthy children. Each spot of significant size after the first three, though, is increasingly uncommon and increasingly likely to be associated with NF or with one of the other neurocutaneous syndromes.
Any child with six or more café-au-lait spots that are more than 5 mm in diameter should be monitored and treated as having NF. This means a baseline examination by an ophthalmologist and audiologist (including vision and hearing tests). It also means a baseline EEG and head CT or MRI, as well as a skeletal survey radiograph and a visit with a geneticist.
Children with NF may also have other findings, including freckling in the armpit and groin areas, nodules seen on eye exam, and certain bone findings seen on xrays.
Each parent should have these same tests performed on him or her. NF is often so mild that a parent isn't diagnosed until café-au-lait spots are found on his or her child. Often, a child's course of disease follows that of his or her parents. Approximately 50% of cases are inherited; the other half are due to spontaneous mutations.
Those with a presumptive diagnosis of NF need annual vision and hearing testing, as well as an annual neurologic exam (in addition to a regular physical). They also benefit from preventive support of several kinds.

Workshop 8. Understanding Energy
Energy lights our homes, fuels our transportation
systems, and much more, but affordable energy is in limited supply.
In this session, look at the global impact of these limits and see
how being smart about using energy will become more important in
our daily lives.
Program Questions
1. Why is it important to understand
energy resources?
Among many other reasons, fossil fuels
that are used in every aspect of our lives are being depleted
at an ever-increasing rate, leaving us with tough choices
about our consumption of energy.
2. Where does our energy come from and
what are all the costs of using it?
Today, most of the energy for our activities
comes from fossil fuels. Using this energy has both economic,
environmental, and health costs.
3. How can we reduce our consumption
of energy?
We can save energy by investing in energy
saving technology and modifying our behavior and habits.
4. And, what alternative sources of
energy can help meet our energy needs?
Renewable sources of energy such as
solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, and biomass will help
address future energy needs.

Yeah, it's not very good, but it really did have a very deep emotional impact on me. The old Charles Laughton version is so much better: But let me get to my point. I learn from the obit that Delannoy was the sort of director that the French New Wave directors were rebelling against:
Mr. Delannoy had worked in the film industry for two decades when, in 1954, François Truffaut, then a 21-year-old critic for the film journal Cahiers du Cinéma, wrote his controversial article "A Certain Trend in French Film." In the article Truffaut attacked France's commercial cinema and its so-called tradition of quality, as exemplified by Mr. Delannoy and certain colleagues, and advocated in its place auteurism, a new, director-centered filmmaking style, which Truffaut came to embrace as a filmmaker. Established French directors, Truffaut wrote, had failed to express their personalities or espouse a worldview. He said that the worst of Jean Renoir's movies would always be more interesting than the best of Mr. Delannoy's. Stung, Mr. Delannoy responded by letter, calling the criticism "so low that I have never encountered anything like it in my 20 years in the profession." He believed that a director's job was to realize the work of the scriptwriters; Truffaut considered that attitude contemptuous of film as an art form. Jean-Luc Godard shared Truffaut's opinion, once suggesting that when Mr. Delannoy carried a briefcase to the studio, he might as well be going to an insurance office.This is important!
Mr. Delannoy responded by writing an article for The New York Times. The film industry, he wrote, was "dying of infantilism."Wait! He responded by writing an article for The New York Times?! Where is the link?!!! Now, I've had a little side project — which, admittedly, I've been ignoring for the last week or so — where I blog from the NYT archive for a date in the past as if I were blogging the news today. And I've struggled with the way the Times limits access to the archive for the years 1923 to 1986). Efforts to limit access to the current issue — the "TimesSelect" program — failed. But the partly closed historical archive remains. I'd love to be able to link to the old articles freely. They can't be getting much traffic. Why not let them burst out to a big audience when someone wants to talk about something, like what Jean Delannoy wrote in 1952 about the French New Wave? The Times itself should be sending us back into its archive. It's boneheaded not to link to the old article by Delannoy! So I'll have to be the one to go back and dig it out for you. It's here if you want to pay for access (or have an educational account and can get to 100 articles a month). Now, I'm reading the article, and it doesn't seem to be much of a response to Truffaut:
[T]he torture of the cinema in the world is, for the most part, due to the tightening of censorship.... The censors act in good faith, in the name of morality. But what is curious is that morality is not the same in one country as another.... All censorships are mistaken because they judge on the basis of pre-established criteria and not on the basis of intention. First and foremost, a film affects the understanding of an audience.... What the public looks for in the dimmed rooms is shocks, and emotions. Films that call upon the intelligence are rare and have only limited success....He expresses concern that the movie "Savage Triangle" will be shown in New York for adults only.
[I]f I had a boy of 14, I would prefer him to get to know some "savage boys" as the one in the film, rather than to nourish himself solely on the violence of Robin Hood with his special interpretation of justice, or the ideas he has on religion, in the person of Friar Tuck, the monk with the cudgel who supports him. The cinema is dying of infantilism. Will censorship finish the job?One reason not to link to the archive — a terrible reason — is that the old articles don't actually support the point you are citing them for! Delannoy isn't responding to Truffaut here. He's pissed off at censors (and Robin Hood).
Mr. Delannoy had earlier had his own complaints about the industry, partly because of censorship. "L'Éternel Retour" ("The Eternal Return"), a retelling of the Tristan and Isolde story, was condemned by the Legion of Decency in 1948. "Le Garçon Sauvage" ("The Wild Boy," released in the United States in 1952 as "Savage Triangle"), the story of a Marseilles prostitute and her son, also ran afoul of censors.

All-Payer Claims Database
Total health care spending in the US is expected to reach US$4.8 trillion by 2021 – or nearly one-fifth of the US economy. To reduce health care costs and improve health outcomes, it is critical that informed health care delivery decisions be made. Moreover, data-driven decisions will be essential to implementing successful reform initiatives.
This interactive SAS Visual Analytics report focuses on the analysis and visualization of health care claims data from an all-payer claims database (APCD). It illustrates how state governments can gain quick insights into their state's population health using the visual analysis capability of SAS Claims Analytics for APCD. With the ability to analyze health care cost, quality, accessibility and utilization holistically, government leaders can take the right steps to improve citizens' health outcomes.

The rules are simple:
I make a wish, and the next person to post finds an ironic way to derive bad consequences from granting the wish, or to otherwise tag a downside to it, and so on and so forth.
For example:
1 wrote:i wish i had a Corvette2 wrote:granted. you got it real cheap because it was crushed under a giant anvil.
i wish i was the most attractive person in the world3 wrote:granted. you are the most attractive person in the world, and both sexes now want your body.
i wish i had a big, juicy steak.4 wrote:granted. how's your diet going?
i wish i was invulnerable to every kind of harm.5 wrote:granted, however, you can no longer drive down one-way streets on Tuesdays.
i wish for world peace
If a wish is uncorruptable, there are two courses of action: corrupt it anyways, or answer the wish with "not granted".
The latter is by far the funnier option, in my opinion.
So, what does everyone think?
Oh, by the way...
I wish for three buckets of rotten plums.

ARCADIA, Calif. — Gary Stevens had never won the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic in his long career. Kathy Ritvo came close a year ago with Mucho Macho Man only to settle for second.
The veteran jockey and the trainer who got another chance at life after a heart transplant in 2008 teamed up with the hard-knocking horse to win by a whisker Saturday.
Mucho Macho Man edged Will Take Charge in a photo finish decided by a nose, making Ritvo the first female trainer to win North America's richest race at a Breeders' Cup that began tragically with the death of a horse in the first race.
"I didn't know the photo was as close as it was," said Stevens, who was 0-for-14 in the Classic.
Stevens capped his comeback at 50 in stellar fashion, surviving a photo finish in the Classic after winning the $2 million Distaff with Beholder on Friday for a sweep of the biggest races at the two-day world championships at Santa Anita.
Ritvo became the fifth female trainer to win a Breeders' Cup race and got to celebrate a year after seeing Mucho Macho Man finish second by a half-length to winner Fort Larned.
"Thrilling," she said.
First, though, Ritvo had to sweat out the results.
Mucho Macho Man stretched his neck to hold off Will Take Charge, trained by 78-year-old Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas.
"I was just hoping he got it," Ritvo said. "When I saw Gary shake his stick, I was confident. He ran a fantastic race."
Game On Dude, the 8-5 favorite who was 5-0 this year, finished ninth on his home track for trainer Bob Baffert and co-owner Joe Torre, the retired Dodgers and Yankees manager.
Baffert had an up-and-down day. His filly, Secret Compass, broke her leg in the opening Juvenile Fillies race and had to be euthanized. Then he won two races before Game On Dude lost as the favorite for the second straight year.
"When I saw him going real fast on the backstretch, I knew I was in trouble," he said. "Then when Mike (Smith) asked him, there was nothing there. You always feel bad when you get beat, but I feel worse for the horse."
Fort Larned wound up fourth.
Mucho Macho Man ran 1 1/4 miles in 2:00.72 and paid $10, $4.60 and $3.60 as the 4-1 second choice. The victory likely earned him champion older male honors and may get him consideration for Horse of the Year honors, which Game On Dude could have wrapped up with a win.
Current Horse of the Year Wise Dan repeated in the $2 million Mile, winning by three-quarters of a length under Jose Lezcano, a late replacement for Velazquez. He paid $3.60 to win as the 4-5 favorite.
Will Take Charge returned $7.20 and $4.80.
"It's just a heartbreak that he lost," said Lukas, who won his only Classic in 1999 with Cat Thief. "He did everything right. The jump after the wire we got him."
Declaration of War was another head back in third and paid $4.80 to show.
Stevens and Mucho Macho Man started moving on the outside around the stretch turn and went after the leaders. They got in front coming out of the turn for home, with Stevens urging the 5-year-old Mucho Macho Man on with a right-handed whip.
"They give me a free roll around the far turn," he said. "I think that might have been the winning move."
Ritvo, a 44-year-old mother of two, waited six months for a new heart in 2008. Mucho Macho Man first put her in the national spotlight two years ago when he ran in all three Triple Crown races, including third in the Kentucky Derby.
"Kathy Ritvo is one of the most underrated trainers in the thoroughbred industry," said Finn Green, racing manager for Mucho Macho Man's owners Dean and Patti Reeves.
Lukas put Stevens on Oxbow in the Preakness in May, and they won.
"Gary is riding in a zone," the trainer said. "I think we jump-started him in the Preakness pretty good."
Last Gunfighter was fifth, followed by Palace Malice, Paynter (trained by Baffert), Flat Out, Game On Dude, Moreno and Planteur.
The 30th Breeders' Cup got off to a troubling start, with a rare disqualification in the opening race and Secret Compass euthanized because of a broken leg.
The $2 million Juvenile Fillies went from strange to tragic over several minutes. The DQ was announced after a green screen went up in a spot approaching the final turn to shield injured Secret Compass from the crowd.
"When you lose a horse like that, it just took all the wind out of our sails," Baffert said. "I've never had something like that happen on a big day. We're all still in shock."
John Velazquez, who rode Secret Compass, had emergency surgery to remove his spleen after internal bleeding was discovered shortly before he was to be released from a Pasadena hospital.
Ria Antonia finished second but was declared the winner of the 1 1/16-mile race after She's a Tiger was disqualified by the stewards.
They ruled that She's a Tiger and Stevens drifted out late, bumped Ria Antonia and Javier Castellano, slowing her momentum.
It was the first DQ of a winner since the inaugural 1984 Juvenile Fillies race in which Fran's Valentine won and later was placed 10th.
"This is heartbreaking," said Jeff Bonde, who trains She's a Tiger.
Sent off at 32-1 odds, Ria Antonia paid $66.60, $29.80 and $17.40. The winning time was 1:43.02 and the margin was a nose.
She's a Tiger returned $6.40 and $4.80. Rosalind paid $6.80 to show.
Running third at the time, Secret Compass' front legs collapsed, slamming Velazquez hard into the dirt. Baffert's 2-year-old filly was euthanized after sustaining a lateral condylar fracture, according to on-call veterinarian Dr. Wayne McIlwraith.
"It is the worst type of injury we get, unfortunately," he said.
Velazquez was to ride in all nine Breeders' Cup races, but he was replaced by other jockeys.
Baffert was smiling later when 10-1 shot New Year's Day rallied on the rail to win the $2 million Juvenile by 1 1/4 lengths. The colt paid $23 to win, with jockey Martin Garcia earning his first Cup victory.
But the trainer's emotions were raw.
"Just the win is exciting, but in the back of my mind, I'm thinking about that filly," he said.
Baffert and Garcia also teamed to win the $1.5 million Sprint by a neck with Secret Circle.
Baffert earned his third win in the Juvenile, whose winner is typically tagged as the early Kentucky Derby favorite. His other entry, Tap It Rich, finished fifth.
Havana, the 5-2 favorite trained by Todd Pletcher, was second. Strong Mandate, trained by Lukas, was third.
After the early drama, 3-2 favorite Dank restored order by winning the $2 million Filly & Mare Turf by a half-length over Romantica. Ridden by Ryan Moore, Dank ran 1 1/4 miles in 1:58.73 and paid $5, $3.40 and $2.80.
Another favorite, 3-1 Groupie Doll, won the $1 million Filly & Mare Sprint for the second straight year by a half-length.
Mizdirection defended her title in the $1 million Turf Sprint for co-owner Jim Rome, the sports talk host. She ran 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:12.25 under Smith, who extended his record for most Cup wins by a jockey to 20. He won two races on opening day Friday.

I always joke that Im going to run off to Saudi Arabia to get a teaching position at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology cause there arent any positions here in the US.
Well now my plans have been ruined.
The Saudi 'Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice' (did they go to 'Radical Christian Institute for Naming Things'?) has declared Valentines Day illegal:
"As Muslims we shouldn't celebrate a non-Muslim celebration, especially this one that encourages immoral relations between unmarried men and women, " Sheikh Khaled Al-Dossari, a scholar in Islamic studies, told the Saudi Gazette, an English-language newspaper.LOL. Muslims.
Every year, officials with the conservative Muslim kingdom's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice clamp down on shops a few days before February 14, instructing them to remove red roses, red wrapping paper, gift boxes and teddy bears. On the eve of the holiday, they raid stores and seize symbols of love.
Saudi Arabia should be a model for Radical Christians--We could put Ted Haggard in charge of 'Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice'!! Have a special ministry for witch burnings!
Well, even though all the Crazy Christians and Muslim Maniacs hate me cause Im an atheist chick, I got a Valentine for them anyway.

My daughter showed me Shakira's latest video:
Ignoring the oh-so-modern writhing on a bed, the video looked peculiarly familiar, especially when Shakira is wearing that flashy red outfit. I finally figured out why:
Some things never change. They just get more glossy.

Banks watching DOMA decision
The Supreme Court's long-anticipated ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act will provide some clarity about a fast-growing practice for banks: financial planning for same-sex couples.
The country's highest court is expected to hand down a landmark opinion as early as Monday on a section of the law that denies married same-sex couples the same federal rights and benefits as married heterosexual couples. For example, under DOMA, same-sex couples cannot file joint federal income tax returns, do not receive Social Security survivor benefits and cannot access federal estate and gift tax marital deductions — all important issues that factor into married couples' long-term financial planning.
Story Continued Below
While a ruling will not directly affect the various state laws governing gay marriage, it will help answer questions about how federal law on these issues apply to same-sex couples and how banks can best advise their clients about their finances.
( PHOTOS: Pols who evolved on gay marriage)
"In terms of financial planning and advisory to the [lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender] community, it does muddy the waters," said Eric Berger, a relationship manager and founder of the LGBT Private Banking Initiative at Credit Suisse — one of many banks that began offering specialized financial planning services for the LGBT community in recent years. "The uncertainty causes a bit of paralysis from advisers because on the legal side … basically any planning that you do now, you may have to redo."
As a number of states across the country have legalized gay marriage, Wall Street has emerged as an ally for gay rights advocates.
Prominent banking executives, including Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, have spoken out in favor of same-sex marriage and an LGBT-friendly work environment. Large banks — including Goldman, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley — were also among the hundreds of companies that filed a brief earlier this year urging the Supreme Court to overturn DOMA.
( PHOTOS: 25 gay-rights milestones)
And as momentum for gay marriage has gained traction, banks have seized on the changing landscape to attract high net-worth same-sex couples with custom-made financial planning services.
Scott Squillace, the founder of the law firm Squillace & Associates in Boston, which specializes in estate planning for same-sex couples, said he has noticed a marked change among banks across the country over the past decade.
"All of the banks large and small have woken up to the fact that this is a terrific demographic to market to," said Squillace, who served on the board of Mass-Equality during the group's push for same-sex marriage legalization in Massachusetts. "Ten to 15 years ago, they didn't all have their glossy brochures on doing LGBT planning, or planning for same-sex couples, and now they all have them."
For example, the Zinn-Ray-Svatora Wealth Management Group at UBS, which has worked with LGBT clients since 1999 and currently manages about $250 million in client assets, has seen about 15 percent to 20 percent annual growth over the past three years. A division of Bank of America's Global Wealth and Investment Management group provides educational tools and materials for LGBT clients on issues ranging from estate, financial and retirement planning.
Morgan Stanley is also ramping up its services for same-sex couples. It currently offers financial planning seminars to both advisers and clients, and plans to enhance its financial planning desktop software to accommodate wealth management for domestic partners by the end of the summer.

Ah, the Beach!! Sun, Sand, Surf, and more. I love being on vacation at the beach, feeling light and fresh, and really relaxed. The colors of the seashore are amazing, ranging from cool blue-gray to vibrant aqua. Throw in bright golden sunshine, green tropical plants, and lush flowers, and you have an amazing backdrop for a seaside wedding. Incorporating these elements into your celebration is easy, and the styles can range from yacht club preppy to caribbean casual.
For this inspiration board, I went with a "relaxed retro" feeling. The colors are a little softer, but still gorgeous. Enjoy!

The 96.55-metre Feadship superyacht Faith has been recently spotted at anchor in the bay of Cala di Volpe in Porto Cervo, Sardiania. The vessel is believed to belong to Lawrence Stroll, a Canadian billionaire with current net worth of $2.6 billion. According to Forbes, the owner's previous yacht was sold to a renowned fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.Lawrence Stroll is known for masterminding the American fashion brand Michael Kors' hugely successful IPO in 2011 with a Hong Kong fashion tycoon Silas Cho being his business partner. Thus, the largest part of his fortune comes from selling his shares in Michael Kors; with the last stake sold in 2014. Moreover, Mr Stroll has been a part-owner of the SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team Formula 1 team since 2018.First known under the name Vertigo, the superyacht was built by Dutch yard Feadship in 2016. Redman Whiteley Dixon was responsible for the exterior design of the vessel with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, while Chahan Interior developed the interiors and De Voogt Naval Architects worked on the naval architecture. With a gross tonnage of 2,999GT, Faith was built to Lloyds +100A1 class and flies the Cayman Islands flag.The elegant curves of Faith's streamlined profile feature proportion and harmony, with the same applied to the characteristically Feadship lines of her flared bow, which features a games deck and helicopter landing pad with a hangar for a Bell 429 WLG helicopter below. The sweeping hull line leads down and aft towards the main deck aft, home to an extraordinary swimming pool made of glass panels that also form the ceiling of the beach club below. Creating this 68-millimetre-thick construction involved laminating together five layers of clear glass interspersed with foil. To make matters even more complex, the deep end of the 42,000-litre pool has an S curved shape and descends to 2.5 metres. The vast sea-level beach club beneath the pool almost doubles in size when the transom and fold-down side terraces are open. Doors in the hull further forward allow launching Vertigo's custom tenders, which are Feadship-certified in a partnership with Tenderworks.The yacht's main deck is a home to a cinema and serves as a prime real estate location for the guest accommodation section, which includes six staterooms (two VIPs), a hairdressing saloon and a dedicated pantry.The vessel's interiors feature large floor-to-ceiling windows maximising the natural light and ocean vistas. Set-piece elements include the double-sided fireplace in limestone & quartz and decorative glass screens that separate the main lounge from the dining area forward, as well as the floating staircase which combines stainless steel, multi- textured stone and blue leather with a wealth of lighting in an exceptionally detailed way.Overall, the superyacht accommodates up to 18 guests, as well as a crew of 34. The owner's cabin is located on its own private deck, highlighted by an imposing full-beam forward-facing stateroom with 180-degree views and a three-metre-high skylight ceiling above the bed. Powered by twin MTU engines of 3,004hp each, Faith reaches a maximum speed at 17 knots and cruises for 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.According to MarineTraffic, the vessel's location has not changed yet. At different times, the vessel was also seen in Côte d'Azur, Monaco or Lelystad, the Netherlands.Photos by Riva Ariston via Dutch Yachting

Back in 1987, the politician acquired the vessel for reported $29 million. Trump had Sultan renamed Trump Princess. In 1991, Trump Princess was sold to Prince Al-Waleed for $19 million who renamed the yacht to Kingdom 5KR.The superyacht features five decks, a disco, a cinema with seats for 12 and 2 double beds, 11 opulent suites, a helipad on top (its funnels are sloped outward to avoid interference with the helicopters), a pool with a water jet on top in front of the heliport, 2 Riva tenders, a crew of 48, a top speed of 20 knots, and cruising speed of 17.5 knots.

An extreme storm struck the city of Auckland on Monday night, causing serious damage to Westhaven Marina, boats and property. According to the local media Newshub, up to 75 boats were damaged at the central marina. Repairing works will likely cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, Mayor Phil Goff said.Auckland has experienced two consequent nights of storms with a wild mixture of lightning and heavy rain starting from Sunday, June 11, causing significant damage to buildings, wharfs and boats. Some citizens even shared pictures of 5-cm-large hailstones that fell on Monday.The second night of storms smashed Auckland's waterfront, overturning boats and throwing containers, pylons and cars into the harbour. One of the 75 damaged boats, was a flipped-over 13-tonne catamaran, along with several yachts torn from their moorings. NZHerald reports, vehicles were swept into the ocean and a yacht was struck by lightning.Photo: Hayden WoodwardDamage has been also done to some marina infrastructure which was being isolated and checked. 'The large amount of flotsam and debris in and around the inner harbour remains a significant hazard to navigation and this will likely be the case until it is all recovered,' coastguard duty officer Hemi Manaena said in a statement.Lion Foundation Rescue and Trillian Rescue Alpha, Coastguard Rescue Vessels from Mechanics Bay were tasked to respond and assist the police with securing vessels and debris adrift, and to undertake welfare checks with impacted vessels to ensure all personnel were accounted for. Luckily, reports so far indicate that no mariners were harmed during this event.Still, the witness, who was at Princess Wharf, said it looked like there were a lot of emergency vehicles at the scene, presuming there might have been people injured. Other sources say, a staff member at Wallace Investments was injured on Monday night when a shipping container blew onto their vehicle, but further discharged from the hospital.Photo: CHRIS MCKEEN/STUFF"Due to debris from the storm, services across the harbour Tuesday morning were operating at reduced speeds and keeping wakes down as advised by the harbourmaster," chief executive Mike Horne said.On Tuesday morning, Mayor Phil Goff visited a large event venue The Cloud located on Queen's Wharf, as it lost part of its roof in Sunday's storm, while Shed 10 that lost its roller doors. The mayor concluded, it would cost NZD hundreds of thousands dollars, to restore the objects.Westhaven Marina, Auckland.

With less than a month left before the start of one of the world's largest yacht exhibitions, Yacht Harbour takes a look through the highlights of Cannes Yachting Festival 2019, that will see its 42nd edition from 10 to 15 September 2019.Last year, the exhibition attracted 51 thousand visitors from all over the world, to witness 542 exhibitors who brought 638 boats to the Cote d'Azur, including 219 new models. This year, according to forecasts, the number of exhibitors will grow by 8%, to over 50 thousand visitors.What's on:In 2019, the Cannes Yachting Festival will cover even larger spaces. The Port Canto, which hosted an exposition of water toys and brokerage superyachts last year, will be fully occupied this time, with its main part devoted to sailing vessels. The total length of the berths with sailing hulls only will make 400 meters, the same quantity will be left for catamarans. On the ground, 4,000 square metres will be provided for sailing yachts manufacturers, twice as much as last year.Starting from September, the show will fully occupy the entire Gulf of Cannes, said Sylvie Ernoult, director of the festival. The water part of the sailing yachts exposition will increase by almost 30%, of the motor ones - by 10%. Their goal was to open the largest exhibition of sailing ships on the water in the world, she said.In total, 120 sailing yachts between 10 to 35 metres in LOA will be displayed in the Port Canto. In addition, Skipper restaurant will open doors at the entrance of the sailing area, with a terrace to enjoy a view over the masts selection. Every day from 10 to 11 in the morning it will be possible to enter the exhibition for free through the Port Canto (after registering on the official website). Meanwhile, Port Canto and the Old Port will be connected through regular RIBs shuttles, as it was in the previous years.The entire Old Port will be divided into zones, where each one will be dedicated to yachts of a certain size category and assigned with a particular colour accordingly. For instants, 'compact superyachts' of 20–30 metres can be found in the blue Jetee zone, medium-sized boats of 14–20 metres will be found at the new Terrasse Pantiero pontoons. A separate pier (blue zone) will be allocated to motor catamarans, close by a new exhibition of boat engines. Furthermore, for superyachts of 30–50 metres in length, there is the Superyacht Extension.What else on display except for yachts:Take a look at the Luxher Gallery, located in a round building near the main entrance, for premium watches, jewellery and fashion accessories, as well as designer utensils, bedding, furniture and arts. The Yachting Café nearby will offer dishes by hereditary pastry chef, Mason Dalloyau, whose ancestors fed cakes of Louis XIV himself.La Regata, the regatta of small catamarans will take place on September 12 and 13 for the first time. From the Port Canto, it will be possible to watch live athletes competing in the Gulf of Cannes, or even join one of the crews and participate in the competition.On Friday, September 13, the exhibition will run on an extended schedule and close at 10 pm. Between the 19th and 22nd hours, a lot of parties will take place. The Ambassador of the Cannes Yachting Festival 2019, a sailing star, the winner of the last Vendee Globe, Armel Le Cléac'h, might also be seen there.Another point of attraction, Concours d'Élégance parade demonstrating vintage boats will take place in the Old Port. Last year, the 1935 Triple Cockpit built by Hacker-Craft Shipyard won the main prize among vintage display items, while Cockwells titanium tender took 'the most impressive modern boat'. This year's Concours d'Élégance will take place on September 14 at 16:00 local time.Other interesting news is that in the near future, the organisers of the event might be changed. Since already two year, the copyright holders have been suing each other for the right to perform management duties, and the latest decision of the Paris court is not in favour of the current ones - Reed. The court upheld the demand of the French Maritime Industry Federation to cancel the post-contract clause, according to which the right to hold the festival until 2041 is assigned to Reed. The decision has not yet entered into force, with an appeal filed.Below is the list of the 10 of the largest superyachts on display in 2019:#10.

Home • About • Community • Download • Documentation • Planet
NOTE: Gitlab merge requests are now the strongly preferred method for accepting patches. Instructions on creating a merge request can be found in the Gitlab documentation.
How to Use git send-email
The preferred way to send patches is by email, using git send-email (more information about sending patches can be found on the Community page). This page explains how to use git send-email.
Installing send-email
You probably already have git already installed, but that's not necessarily enough to have also the send-email command available. You can check if send-email is available by running "git send-email --help". If it shows the man page for send-email, then send-email is available. Otherwise, you need to install the send-email command. Your distribution probably has a package for it; on Debian the package name is "git-email".
Configuring Your Name and Email Address
You should tell git your name and email address. You have probably done this already, but if not, run these commands:
git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email "email@example.com"
Configuring the Mail Sending Options
git send-email sends the emails through your SMTP server, so you need to configure the server parameters. Refer to your email provider documentation to find the right parameters. This is how I would configure my mail settings:
git config --global sendemail.smtpencryption tls
git config --global sendemail.smtpserver mail.messagingengine.com
git config --global sendemail.smtpuser email@example.com
git config --global sendemail.smtpserverport 587
git config --global sendemail.smtppass hackme
Storing the password in the git configuration file is obviously a security risk. It's not mandatory to configure the password. If it's not configured, git send-email will ask it every time the command is used.
Configuring the Default Destination Address
For PulseAudio, the patches should be sent to our mailing list. In order to avoid having to remember it and retyping it all the time, you can configure the address to be used by default by git send-email. As you may contribute to many projects using git, it does not make sense to set this option globally so instead we'll only set it in our clone of the PulseAudio code.
git config sendemail.to email@example.com
Avoiding sending mail to yourself
By default, git send-email will add the author of the patch to the Cc: field. When you send patches that you have written yourself, this means that a copy of each patch will be sent to your email address. If you don't like this, you can avoid this by setting this configuration option (see "git send-email --help" for the full list of possible values):
git config --global sendemail.suppresscc self
Using the send-email Command
See "git send-email --help" for the full reference. I'll go through only the basic usage here.
git send-email will ask a few questions before the patches are sent (update: newer git versions ask fewer questions, sometimes no questions at all). Most of the questions have a sensible default value shown in square brackets. Just press enter to use the default value. Type the answer to the question if you don't want to use the default answer. The questions are:
- Who should the emails appear to be from?
- This will be used as the "From" header. You should have configured your name and email address earlier, so the default is usually correct.
- Who should the emails be sent to?
- As noted above, patches should be sent to our mailing list: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the first email?
- This should usually be left empty. Don't send patches as replies to regular discussion, that makes it harder to keep track of the patches.
- Send this email?
- The mail headers are visible above the question, so that you can check that everything looks OK.
Sending a Single Patch
Sending the last commit in the current branch:
git send-email -1
Sending some other commit:
git send-email -1 <commit reference>
Sending Multiple Patches
Sending the last 10 commits in the current branch:
git send-email -10 --cover-letter --annotate
The --cover-letter option creates an extra mail that will be sent before the actual patch mails. You can add write some introduction to the patch set in the cover letter. If you need to explain the patches, be sure to include the explanations also in the commit messages, because the cover letter text won't be recorded in the git history. If you don't think any introduction or explanation is necessary, it's fine to only have the shortlog that is included in the cover letter by default, and only set the "Subject" header to something sensible.
The --annotate option causes an editor to be started for each of the mails, allowing you to edit the mails. The option is always necessary, so that you can edit the cover letter's "Subject" header.
Adding Patch Version Information
By default the patch mails will have "[PATCH]" in the subject (or "[PATCH n/m]", where n is the sequence number of the patch and m is the total number of patches in the patch set). When sending updated versions of patches, the version should be indicated: "[PATCH v2]" or "[PATCH v2 n/m]". To do this, use the -v option. Here's an example (you may want to add --annotate to add notes to the patch about what changed in the new version):
git send-email -v2 -1
Changing or amending the [PATCH] tag in the subject
The default "[PATCH]" tag can be changed with --subject-prefix. This is useful especially when sending pavucontrol or paprefs patches, because the subject should note when the patch is meant for some other git repository than the main pulseaudio repository. For example:
# Using "[PATCH pavucontrol]" as the tag is a good way to indicate
# that the patch is meant for pavucontrol.
git send-email -1 --subject-prefix="PATCH pavucontrol"
Adding Extra Notes to Patch Mails
Sometimes it's convenient to annotate patches with some notes that are not meant to be included in the commit message. For example, one might want to write "I'm not sure if this should be committed yet, because..." in a patch, but the text doesn't make sense in the commit message. Such messages can be written below the three dashes "---" that are in every patch after the commit message. Use the --annotate option with git send-email to be able to edit the mails before they are sent.
Formatting and sending in two steps
Instead of using the --annotate option, one can first run "git format-patch" to create text file(s) (with the -o option to select a directory where the text files are stored). These files can be inspected and edited, and when that is done, one can then use "git send-email" (without the -1 option) to send them.

Stress hormone kicks brain cells into gear
Norepinephrine wakes up cells called astroglia
Amit Agarwal and Dwight Bergles, courtesy of Cell Press
Some brain cells need a jolt of stress to snap to attention. Cells called astroglia help regulate blood flow, provide energy to nearby cells and even influence messages' movement between nerve cells. Now, scientists report June 18 in Neuron that astroglia can be roused by the stress molecule norepinephrine, an awakening that may help the entire brain jump into action.
As mice were forced to walk on a treadmill, an activity that makes them alert, astroglia in several parts of their brains underwent changes in calcium levels, a sign of activity, neuroscientist Dwight Bergles of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and colleagues found. Norepinephrine, which acts as a fight-or-flight hormone in the body and a neural messenger in the brain, seemed to cause the cell activity boost. When researchers depleted norepinephrine, treadmill walking no longer activated astroglia.
