Yankees 5 Boston 2
I have this summary for the Yankees and Red Sox from this morning"s BOSTON GLOBE. I come back with a post a little later today...
The Yankees took the first game of this three-game set against the Red Sox to whittle Boston's lead to a half game in the American League East before a Fenway Park crowd of 37,773.
"CC Sabathia (18-7), winless in four previous starts against the Red Sox, went six innings and allowed two runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out 10.
John Lackey (12-10) went seven innings and allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and four walks while striking out three.
New York pitchers gave up 13 hits but struck out 13 as Boston stranded 16 runners in a 3-hour-59-minute game that saw Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild (seventh) and manager Joe Girardi (ninth inning) ejected by third base umpire Mark Wegner.
Rothschild was run from the game when he protested John Lackey's hitting catcher Francisco Cervelli, who hit a solo homer off Lackey in the fifth inning. Girardi was ejected when closer Mariano Rivera plunked Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia on the left wrist in the bottom of the ninth."
Lackey's five runs doomed his club. Oh well, we'll get 'em today. We'd better!

Yesterday evening, 25 year-old Kengo Katou kicked an arcade cabinet at "Play Hard" game center in Kasugai City. He's now in a coma.
After kicking the cabinet, arcade staff told him to knock it off. According to eyewitness accounts, Katou then became enraged and started acting violently. He pulled one employee's hair and began throwing things.
Arcade staff tried to subdue him as well as call the police. While the arcade staff subdued the man, Kato became unconscious. He was taken to an area hospital, and police are investigating the incident.

Justin Halpern's fantastic Twitter page about living with his 74-year-old father is the success story of the year. CBS has announced the resulting sitcom has a premiere date of Sept. 23.
And Halpern's now-famous father has accepted the fact that the character based on him will be played by William Shatner when "(Bleep) My Dad Says" hits the airwaves.
Halpern says that Shatner was his first choice to play the role of his sharp-tongued and outrageous father onscreen. But retired doctor Sam Halpern had other ideas, however improbable.
"My father thought he should be played by James Earl Jones," Halpern tells PopcornBiz. "He says (Jones') voice is the greatest in the world."
Let's put aside the fact that Sam Halpern is not African-American. Beyond that Justin also admits that his father "has a voice like Foghorn Leghorn." So let's just say that James Earl Jones did not get a call for this part.
Meanwhile, Shatner hit the role "out of the park" during the taping of the pilot which was picked up by CBS, says Justin.
"He's such a unique kind of actor, you never know what you're going to get with him," he adds. "He brought a really interesting take on it."
Sam Halpern was at the pilot filming and too became convinced that "the Star Trek fella" (whom he hadn't heard of previously) was right for the part.
"He was way into it," says Halpern.
Truth be told, if Shatner had decided not to do the sitcom, Justin Halpern did have an alternate choice.
"My second choice was 'Deadwood' star Ian McShane," says Halpern. "But he might have scared the crap out of middle-America though."

The Canyons has a coloring and a synth-oriented soundtrack that makes it stand out, and its story, while harrowing and simultaneously a little goofy, does feature Lohan proving she can act. This may not be the movie that turns things around for LiLo, but it may be the movie that reminds you of why she was an "it girl" in the first place.

Specifically, he said, "I thought the acting throughout was good. I was attentive and entertained but not greatly enough to recommend the movie. I suspect a lot of what was wrong with the film came from Ashton's own image of Jobs."

Following Jobs from his years doing drugs and making trouble at Reed College to his ouster from Apple and return to the company in 1996, it's a sweeping story about the years before Jobs exploded back into the tech world with the invention of the iPod and later the iPhone. It's a story about a tech genius, but also a look at the personal life of a man who couldn't always treat the people in his life as well as he treated his own ideas

Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs Biopic Delayed Indefinitely
The biopic has generated a decent amount of press thanks to Stern's decision to cast Two and a Half Men co-star Ashton Kutcher as the tech pioneer. At least the trade is saying that the delay is being implemented as a means of better marketing the film instead of putting the biopic under the knife of a cut-happy editor, because the movie – at this moment – is finished.

Back in 1999 TNT aired a made-for-TV movie called Pirates of Silicon Valley, which told the story of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates' ascension to becoming the tech-icons we now know them to be. Part of Jobs' side of the story included his relationship with his high school girlfriend and the birth of his first child Lisa in 1978. This part of Jobs' life will apparently be explored to some extent in the upcoming biopic Jobs, as the role of Chris-Ann Brennan has been cast.

Sure, Kutcher's better known for his comedic work than he is for dramas, but he does bear some resemblance to Jobs in his younger years, and producer Mark Hulme expressed optimism that Kutcher has what it takes to carry the "psychological complexity" of the role. In another interesting casting development for the film, it looks like Jobs may have found its Woz, and once again, they're going with someone better known for their comedy work than for drama.

I am not a burned down house. Like millions of Americans, I have a "pre-existing condition." But I am not a "burned down house", as Mike Huckabee and those who applauded his recent statement seem, to think.
When Republicans attack health care reform, Democrats like to counter by accusing Republicans of wanting to repeal a law that requires insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. According to Republican Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, that's exactly right. People with pre-existing conditions, he explains are like houses that have already burned down.
"It sounds so good, and it's such a warm message to say we're not gonna deny anyone from a preexisting condition," Huckabee explained at the Value Voters Summit today. "Look, I think that sounds terrific, but I want to ask you something from a common sense perspective. Suppose we applied that principle [to] our property insurance. And you can call your insurance agent and say, "I'd like to buy some insurance for my house." He'd say, "Tell me about your house." "Well sir, it burned down yesterday, but I'd like to insure it today." And he'll say "I'm sorry, but we can't insure it after it's already burned." Well, no preexisting conditions."
As pre-existing conditions go, mine is not immediately life-threatening. But as is the case with millions of other Americans, my condition is not difficult to treat – but it can be deadly if untreated.
I've written about it before, but I am one of about 25 million Americans who suffer from gastroesphophageal reflux disease (GERD).
With normal digestion, a circular band of muscle located between the esophagus and stomach widens to allow food to enter the stomach and then tightens.
But when this muscle, known as the lower esophageal sphincter, weakens or relaxes inappropriately, acidic digestive juices in the stomach can flow back up, or "reflux," into the esophagus. Unlike the stomach, the esophagus does not have a protective barrier against the acid.
As a result, reflux can cause irritation, inflammation and other damage to the esophagus that is often perceived as heartburn, an uncomfortable, burning sensation behind the breastbone.
It is far more than just heartburn. In my case, I was diagnosed after my husband noticed that as many as two or three nights per week, I was getting up at night and going to the bathroom to vomit. He urged me to see a doctor about it, and I did. (Don't ask me why it didn't occur to me to go to a doctor. I guess that's an example of why married people live longer.) One barium swallow and upper GI endoscopy later, I was diagnosed with GERD due to a hiatal hernia.
Since my diagnosis, I've made what changes I can to reduce my symptoms. I'm not obese. I don't smoke. I don't drink, and I avoid spicy foods (which I never liked much anyway). I eat smaller meals, and stop when I start to feel full. And I cut out any snacks a few hours before bedtime.
I got my diagnosis, and a prescription for medicine to help because I had health insurance. And my case appears to be progressive. I tried over the counter medicines until they no longer worked, and have had to change prescriptions each time I've experienced "breakthrough symptoms" indicating that my medication was no longer doing the job. I can do that, because I have health insurance. Otherwise, my story could have been more like this guy's.
Baking soda nearly killed an elderly man. He was using it to relieve the stomach pain caused by an ulcer, but went way overboard with the home remedy.
After slipping on a children's toy, the retired gentleman could not get back up. Paramedics transported him to Cooper Hospital in New Jersey. En route, they noticed that he was short of breath and picking at his side for no apparent reason.
In the emergency room, the patient was completely incoherent. He looked disheveled, underweight, and could not tell them what year it was.
…Once the patient was stable, the doctors questioned his niece. She had found several empty boxes of baking soda at his home and explained that her uncle, who lacked health insurance, had been using it to cope with severe indigestion.
With an understanding of what went wrong, the doctors gave the patient fluids and potassium, which invigorated his kidneys. Slowly, the problem fixed itself.
How I came to have GERD is due to a number of factors, including biological and structural factors. But I tend to think that, at least to some degree, I inherited it from my dad. (The video above suggests that it may be genetic in some people.) He very likely had GERD. As a child, I remember him drinking Alka-Seltzer and taking Tums just about every evening, after dinner. He didn't get it treated, probably because he didn't know he had anything more than heartburn. At the time, I don't remember any talk of GERD let alone diagnoses, or medicines to treat.
My dad never knew his symptoms were related to anything more than heartburn, and probably never mentioned it to his doctors. The problem is that doctors can't treat what they're not told about. And left untreated, GERD can lead to esophageal cancer.
Over the long-term, uncontrolled GERD can cause worrisome complications. One is esophagitis, an inflammation and erosion of the esophagus resulting from stomach-acid damage. Another is esophageal stricture, in which scar tissue causes the esophagus to narrow.
In rare instances, a condition known as Barrett's esophagus, which is marked by changes to cells lining the lower esophagus, can lead to cancer.
Statistics show that men are about twice as likely as women to develop esophagitis and nearly 10 times as likely to get Barrett's esophagus. And whites are at greater risk for Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer than non-whites.
The reasons why some people with GERD develop esophageal cancer are still being researched, but some studies point to enzymes and others to genetics. But in one year (2008), some 16,000 people were diagnosed with it, and 14,000 of them died of it. In 2006, my dad died of it.
He wasn't a burned down house, either. He was veteran of two wars – Korea and Vietnam – who save more than 20 years of military service two his country, raised three kids, went to work every day until his retirement, helped his adult children in countless ways, adored his grandchildren, loved and stayed faithful to the woman to whom he was married for more than 50 years, right up to his death. Neither are my mom and sister, both breast cancer survivors – one who wants to be here for her four children, and one who wants to be here for her children and grandchildren. They aren't burned down houses either.
I am not a burned down house. I'm a husband and father who wants to be here for my family, to kiss "owies," dry tears, help with homework, attend graduations and weddings, and someday spoil my grandchildren.
I am not a burned down house. Neither are the millions Americans with pre-existing conditions, whose stories are just like mine and family's.
According to the American Heart Association, more than 81,000,000 Americans suffer from one or more forms of cardiovascular disease. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 11,000,000 people in America currently suffer from some form of cancer. According to the American Diabetes Association, 23.6 million Americans currently suffer from diabetes, and the Center for Disease Control has estimated as many as half of all Americans will suffer from the disease by the year 2050, thanks to our deplorable dietary habits. According to the National Parkinson's Foundation, between 50,000 and 60,000 new cases of Parkinson's Disease are diagnosed in America each year. According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, some 400,000 Americans currently suffer from MS.
That's a pretty substantial portion of the population, with more being diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's and MS every day.
All of them, every single one of them, are like a house that has already burned down, according to Mike Huckabee and the sick bastards who cheered his comments. All of them, every single one of them, are not worthy of health insurance because they had the misfortune of getting sick before they got insurance. All of them, every single one of them, therefore, are not worthy of health care in any real form, unless, of course, they are wealthy and able to afford the staggering cost of ill health in America.
All of them, in short, every single one of them, can basically just go die in Mike Huckabee's world. They are not worthy of coverage, treatment or consideration. The five diseases I listed account for well over a third of the American population, and if Mike Huckabee or someone who agrees with him somehow becomes president someday, those millions of people should just dig their own graves and lie down in them.
Last year, I spent about seven posts exploring the morality of health care reform. And here Mike Huckabee sums the morality of the opposition to health care reform in just a few sentences. Those of us, those 81 million of us with pre-existing conditions, are not worthy of coverage, treatment, or consideration. It would be better, cheaper, and quicker to take us "out behind the barn" and shoot us.
What becomes of us if people who agree with Mike Huckabee take over congress? What happens to Americans who will benefit from the parts of health care reform that just went into effect?
As of today, insurance companies can no longer deny insurance to children with pre-existing conditions-the young people who are ill and need insurance the most. As many as 5 million children fall in this category.
As of today, insurance companies can no longer drop people from coverage when they get sick because they made clerical mistakes on their applications.
As of today, insurance companies will no longer be allowed to drop children from their parents' health insurance plans after they reach 21 or graduate from college, unless they are offered coverage at work. About 1.6 million young adults between 21 and 26 will go onto their parents' policies.
As of today, insurance companies will be prohibited from placing lifetime caps on health coverage.
As of today, insurance companies will be restricted in their use of annual limits on coverage and will be banned completely in 2014.
As of today, insurance companies are required to cover recommended preventive services with no out-of-pocket cost for patients and with preventive services exempt from deductibles.
As of today, employer-sponsored health plans can no longer establishing any eligibility rules for coverage that discriminate against lower- and middle-income employees.
On the right, the mantra is "repeal and replace," but Matt Yglesias paints a picture of what that will really look like.
To review: As of this week, insurers will be unable to refuse to do business with children. Insurers will also be unable to impose arbitrary lifetime caps on benefits. And insured parents will be able to keep adult children on their plans up to the age of 26. This is a downpayment on the eventual transition to a system in which nobody will be denied coverage on the basis of a pre-existing condition. Which is to say that the system of health insurance for people under the age of 65 will at last do what Medicare has done for seniors for decades-actually guarantee that if you get sick you won't need to shoulder the entire financial burden yourself.
Existing insurance policies are supposed to do this, but not only do many people lack insurance, many who are insured find that when disaster strikes suddenly, the insurance vanishes. That's a business model that's made insurance executives loathed, but it's inherent to the economic logic of the current system, a logic that the ACA> will upend with its system of subsidies, regulations, and-yes-the dread individual mandate to make everyone buy health care.
The system is, however, under grave threat. It's unlikely that a new congressional majority will literally repeal the law in one fell stroke. Their plan instead is to fatally wound it. The law is a fairly intricate quilt of popular ideas, and not-so-popular ideas that are necessary to make the popular ones work. By picking away at the unpopular planks in an unprincipled way while pretending not to realize the consequences of these actions, a GOP Congress could ensure that by the time the full ship launches in 2014 it won't be very seaworthy. Then they can ride the ensuing backlash to victory and be in a position to finish off repeal.
Never mind that a majority of Americans oppose repealing health care reform, and those who wish it went further outnumber those who don't by 2 to 1. What they replace it with, if anything, is anybody's guess. But this summer the GOP presented a health care "reform" plan that ignores the uninsured and offers nothing for those with pre-existing conditions. No surprise that it was practically written by the insurance industry. No surprise that, in the world as Huckabee and his supporters think it should be, if I lose my job and/or lose my insurance I'm out of luck. In fact, I'm dead. And I should be.
After all, what do you do for a burned down house? Answer: Nothing. You knock down what's left, bury the ashes, and walk away. It's not worth saving.
What do you do for millions of burned down houses? Answer: Nothing. They're not worth saving.
Correction. We're not worth saving.

Regional water officials on Thursday said they have crafted several protections for ratepayers in a draft contract to buy desalinated water from Poseidon Resources's long-awaited plant in Carlsbad. The San Diego County Water Authority plans to release that water purchase agreement this month, starting a 60-day public review period.
The overall project cost, including a related pipeline, has been pegged at nearly $1 billion. Two major firms — Kiewit Infrastructure West and J.F. Shea — are on tap for construction and the facility would be operated by Israel-based IDE, a global leader in desalination technology.
Poseidon is expected to finance the project through a combination of tax-exempt bonds and private equity provided by Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners of New York.
At Thursday's meeting, water authority leaders discussed numerous risks involved in the project. They raised questions about everything from Poseidon's environmental mitigation plan to energy price spikes.
Agency staff said the deal is designed to shield the water authority from financial liability if the project fails. "We never pay for water until they deliver it," said resources director Ken Weinberg.
The water authority's board is expected to vote on the 30-year contract following two public meetings. They are at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 13 at the San Diego County Water Authority, 4677 Overland Ave., San Diego; and at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 20 at the Carlsbad Senior Center, 799 Pine Ave., Carlsbad.
If approved, the project likely would start producing water in 2016. The cost of desalinated water would be roughly double the price of conventional sources but would help buffer the region against drought and other supply problems.

With names like aspergillosis (the name of an old girlfriend), candidiasis (a famous French play), coccidioidomycosis (Gezzhuntite!), cryptococcal meningitis (what killed Boris Karloff in the Mummy), and histoplasmosis (that's when you bomb a history test), it's a wonder HIV infected folks don't die from just saying these fungal infections.
Essentially, the body's health is defended by its immune system. When "germs," such as viruses, nasty bacteria, parasites -- and fungi -- arrive on the scene, our white blood cells known as lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) protect the body. Our protective armor is weakened and eventually destroyed by HIV as the virus breaks down the body's immune system. The good news is that the threat of fungal infections, at least for some individuals, has lessened with the advent of newer HIV drugs.
In a set-for-publication article on fungal infections by William G. Powderly, MD, and Nicholas E. Haddad, MD, The Changing Face of Mycoses in Patients with HIV/AIDS, they point out that the "current era of effective antiretroviral therapy has led to a marked reduction in opportunistic infections (OIs) in those countries where such therapies are available. Opportunistic fungal infections (FIs) are no exception, and the incidence of such infections is now 20-25% of that seen in the mid-1990s."
In fact, infections associated with very advanced HIV disease, such as azole-resistant candidiasis and aspergillosis are also rarely seen, according to the doctors' research. The rare occurrence of these two FIs reflects an improved immune function. "The most common issue now is whether patients who have had a systemic mycosis require life-long therapy as used to be recommended. Preliminary data from small studies suggest that, like is seen with other OIs, it may be possible to stop suppressive therapy in patients whose CD4 lymphocyte count rises with antiretroviral therapy," Powderly notes.
So what are these fungal invaders with the awful sounding names?
Aspergillosis is formed from a fungus found in soil and decaying plant life, and, luckily, is somewhat rare with HIV. More commonly, cancer patients on chemotherapy and transplant patients on immunosuppressive therapies may contract the fungus. For the most part, aspergillosis affects the lungs and sinus. Prominent symptoms include cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, facial pain, fever, and night sweat.
The danger zone is when an individual has a CD4 count of less than 100 cells/mm, although infections do occur in people with higher CD4+ cell counts. Anecdotally, reports indicate that among people with AIDS who first are treated for bacterial pneumonia or PCP, aspergillosis may follow. Doctors think that these other infections weaken the lungs, making it easier for the fungus to take root.
Typical treatments are amphotericin B (AMB, IV) and itraconazole (oral).
Formed from a mold called Candida albicans, candida is the most common HIV-related fungus infection expressing itself in the human body as "thrush" or a yeast infection, especially in women. There are at least four other "species" of the fungus: Candida glabrata, C. parapsilosis, C. tropicalis, and C. krusei.
When infected, patients experience discomfort in the mucous membranes around the mouth, vagina, esophagus, and skin. Typical symptoms are white humps, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, and an altered sense of taste. Candida in its many manifestations is an AIDS-defining illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), when it appears in the mouth or when the yeast infection is found vaginally and is persistent, frequent, or responds poorly to therapy. An infected person with virtually any level of CD4 count is at risk, but individuals with counts less than CD4 200 are at greater risk.
It isn't really clear if preventative measures are more effective than treating thrush after it appears. For vaginal yeast infections, yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus cultures decreases infection rates. Drugs used to treat candida depend on where and how in the body the fungus shows itself. For oral thrush, doctors often prescribe fluconazole, clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and nystatin. If the fungus appears in the esophageal area (the swallowing tube) fluconazole, ketoconazole, and itraconazole seem to work. Vaginal yeast infections can sometimes be treated with over-the-counter antifungal remedies like clotrimazole or miconazole.
Coccidioidomycosis is a fungus found mainly in soil in the southwestern parts of the US, in Mexico, in Central America, and in parts of South America. During one part of this nasty germ's life, it is airborne -- and that's when it is most dangerous. Those with coccidioidomycosis have inhaled the fungus, making the lungs the most commonly affected part of the body, although the fungus can also invade the kidneys, lymph system, brain, and spleen. When it infects the lungs, the fungus is likely inhaled.
Typical symptoms are cough, weight loss, and fatigue. If left untreated, meningitis is a commonly associated complication. The CDC also considers this fungus an AIDS-defining illness. HIV-infected individuals are considered to be at risk when their CD4 T-cell count is less than 100.
There have been no studies on preventing coccidioidomycosis. Typically, treatments include amphotericin (IV) and fluconazole (oral).
Cryptococcal Meningitis
Cryptococcal meningitis is a yeast-like fungus infection found in soil around the world, especially in soil contaminated by bird droppings. This disease usually affects the brain and lungs and advance stages can involve almost any organ. Patients are most at risk when their CD4 T-cell count is less than 50.
Because the disease is so deadly, the CDC recommends patients consider using fluconazole for those with CD4 T-cell counts less than 50. Be advised that sometimes this preventative treatment isn't indicated because this type of meningitis is rare and the treatment is expensive. Infected individuals who accept preventive treatment may end up with fungi that are resistant to treatments for cryptococcal meningitis. Another factor may influence whether or not individuals take preventive steps: the preventive drugs may interact with other important treatments.
Typically, this infection is treated with amphotericin B, flucytosine, and fluconazole. Once infected with this fungal invader, long-term treatment (maintenance therapy) is almost always needed to prevent a relapse.
Histoplasmosis is a yeast-like fungus infection found in the southern parts of the US and South America in soil contaminated by bird dung. Infection occurs by inhaling the fungus, which means the lungs are almost always infected, although histoplasmosis can affect other internal organs. This is an AIDS-defining illness, according to the CDC.
Symptoms include fever, skin lesions, breathing problems, weight loss, and liver enlargement. Patients are most at risk when their CD4 T-cell count is less than 100. Itraconazole is sometimes used as a prophylaxis preventive for those with very low CD4 T-cell counts who live in southern parts of the US.
Treatments include amphotericin B (IV), and itraconazole (orally). Once infected with the fungus, long-term maintenance therapy is usually needed.
Although sticks and stones can break one's bones, and normally words won't hurt someone, HIV-infected individuals should consult their physicians on how best to combat fungal infections.

Mother of 20 Adopted Children, Including 7 Teens, Encourages Adoption of Older Children, Like Davion Only
After 15-year-old Florida orphan Davion Only was forced to make a plea to find an adoptive family, a woman who has adopted 20 of her 22 children, including seven of them as teenagers, is encouraging families considering adoption to adopt older children.
"No matter how old a child or youth is, he or she is never too old to need a family. Everyone needs a family for a lifetime, or as we say, 'Not just a family to grow up in, but a family to grow old in,'" noted Sue Badeau, a national adoption and fostering expert and Christian author in a release on Friday.
"Even the most competent, capable 18, 19 or 20 year old who is heading off to college and career still needs a family -- for advice, guidance, support, someone to be there for them in good times and bad, and later to be a grandparent to their own children," she added.
Davion captured national headlines last week after the Tampa Bay Times reported on his recent appeal for an adoptive family at the St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St. Petersburg, Fla. His whole life was spent in foster care after his mother, who died last year, gave birth to him in prison.
"I'll take anyone," Davion told the 300 people at the church. "Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be," he said.
Badeau, who is the incoming president for the North American Council on Adoptable Children and a national consultant, also recently wrote a book, titled Are We There Yet?: Adopting and Raising 22 Kids, chronicling her experience as an adoptive parent along with her husband, Hector.
The couple tapped into their Christian faith and asked God to bring them the children that needed them the most.
"I am so grateful for Davion's courage and tenacity and so saddened that any child in America has to take such extreme measures to find a family. I am also thrilled that so many people are reportedly responding and saying they would adopt him," noted Badeau.
"We adopted seven of our kids as teenagers; the oldest was 20 when he was legally adopted, 19 when he first came into our family. Though there have been some tough times, it has been 25 years since the six oldest were adopted by us and 15 years since the last teen joined us. All have greatly enriched our family's circle of love and are still fully part of and engaged in our family," she added.
Among other professional accomplishments, Badeau has also served as a public policy fellow in the office of Sen. John Rockefeller IV, (D-W.Va.), deputy director for the Pew Commission on Children in Foster Care, executive director of the Philadelphia Children's Commission, and as a director for the Casey Family Programs, the nation's largest foundation focused on foster care.

As I have said in the past, people ask me to draw characters from shows or games that I have never heard of before. Here is a figure from a game that was requested. Today I will be showing you all "how to draw Sly Cooper", step by step. Sly Cooper is the main figure of the game. His characters background is a thief from a long line of thieves. He is a direct descendant from the Cooper Clan. Sly's whole goal is to become a master thief to live up to the family name. He was left an orphan when he was young. An infamous gang of thieves broke into his home on the night the family business was supposed to go into Sly's name. The book he was supposed to inherit (Thievius Raccoonus) was also stolen when the thieves raided their home. His father fell victim to the thieves as well as he tried to protect his family. Unsuccessful, his father died in the result of defending his house and possessions. Sly is a raccoon, and he will one day live up to what his father believed he could be. I hope you guys have fun with this tutorial on drawing Sly Cooper. I will be back with some other stuff for you to draw so stay put!

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume 1 Issue 20 July 27, 2000
On July 20, 2000, the New York Times allowed former conservative writer David Brock to weigh in on Hillary Clinton's alleged slurring of Jews, as if Brock is objective, or has an accurate leg to stand on. He isn't, and he doesn't. But that didn't prevent the Times from giving yet another lying liberal a platform from which to falsely claim he's an "expert" character witness on behalf of the "goodness" of Hillary Clinton.
Since 1996, Brock has relentlessly defended Hillary and Bill Clinton by attacking those who have the guts to come forward with the truth. But, before the election of 1996, Brock had quite a different opinion about the "First Couple."
You may recall that in 1993 it was Brock, writing for the American Spectator Magazine, who turned out a sensational article about Bill and Hillary Clinton's scandalous conduct while they were Arkansas' first family. Brock's article was significantly inaccurate - it contained a factual flaw - a blooper that nearly doomed the Clinton presidency, but not in the way Brock had intended. He also missed the bigger story - the allegations that Bill Clinton was a violent sexual predator.
Brock wrote that a young woman named "Paula" was a willing one-night-stand for a then Governor Clinton. Paula Jones recognized herself in the article, denied the allegation, and went on to file a civil rights lawsuit. Jones' lawsuit eventually surfaced the Monica Lewinsky scandal, again quite by accident.
Thus, Brock's failure to get his facts straight almost cost Bill and Hillary Clinton the White House via impeachment, but not because Brock is an "accurate journalist."
In 1993 I was working at the White House as an FBI agent involved in national security matters. I didn't like the conduct I was seeing. The Clintons and their senior staff were very crude, very profane, but most important to me was the fact that they were wrecking our national security systems. This was the big story.
My employment had me at ground zero inside the Clinton "nest" and Brock's article certainly rang true. I found the senior Clinton staff profane, and highly emotional. To this trained investigator's eye, some actually bordered on irrational, and I reported this to Clinton's chief of staff, Mac McLarty. Many had prior drug problems, and serious emotional problems for which they were medicated.
I had heard the stories of the Clinton's inappropriate conduct from residence staff members, as well as from the Secret Service agents, forced to be around them day and night. The Clintons' profanity, incredible temper tantrums, and alleged extramarital activities saddened me, but my mission was to protect national security - not to police morals or conduct bed checks at the White House.
In spite of the obvious illegal acts and serious wrongdoing that took place in Little Rock, Brock's article dwelled on the salacious. I knew Brock's obsession with the sex lives of others was nothing new. In his book, The Real Anita Hill, Brock concluded Hill was "a little bit nutty, and a little bit slutty." Brock filled his Anita Hill book with petty observations of Hill, and ponderous, meaningless trivia. The book was described by one of the sales managers working for the publisher as "boring and difficult to market." I don't know if this first book attempt by Brock contained any serious inaccuracies, but my first book was highly accurate, and a runaway bestseller. Nevertheless, Brock gets to be the judge of me!
Not only has Brock anointed himself as the judge of my book, but of all books that are critical of the Clintons. Scratch the surface, and there doesn't appear to be any reasonable foundation for Brock's assumed expertise.
Brock's Anita Hill book launched the writing career of this supposed "investigative journalist," and because of his defense of Clarence Thomas, Brock became a darling of the political party circuit in Washington, and elsewhere. Brock had made powerful friends within the conservative movement, and they naively granted him access, highly paid writing opportunities, and their loyalty.
But why is David Brock considered by anybody to be an expert on the good character of Hillary Clinton? How could a guy who missed the biggest stories - about Clinton's sexual assaults, or Whitewater, or the biggest stories about national security and illegal fundraising at the White House, be considered a definitive voice on any of these matters?
And how could a writer, guilty of inaccuracies and incomplete reporting, be the judge of the accuracy of any other works? Only the loony left could understand this.
During a 1995 post-retirement meeting with Brock at the American Spectator Magazine headquarters in Virginia, Brock (at that time very hostile to the Clintons) asked me questions about the Clintons' White House sex lives. He told me he was writing a book about Hillary Clinton, but he seemed to be only interested in the personal side of her life.
During one conversation, Brock attempted to interest me in gossip he said he had heard about a senior Clinton male staff member who was allegedly hiding his homosexuality. I told Brock I was not interested in stories of that kind, unless national security was involved.
But there were no questions asked about national security or any illegal activities, even though Brock knew of my access and my official position as an FBI agent inside the White House. I gave him no information he could use in his planned book about Hillary, because I didn't trust him.
And I refused to become Brock's "source," but Brock seemed intent on telling me his life story, anyway. He said he had once been a liberal journalism student, attending radicalized Berkley, but grew unhappy with the Left Wing when they would not allow the publication of one of his missives. Brock explained that having been told, "No" he veered to the "Right." Of course after the marketing failure of his inaccurate and incomplete Hillary book, Brock very publicly veered back to the Left.
That much-anticipated book about Hillary Clinton missed most of the big stories about the Clinton White House, and became an "October Dud." After receiving a reported two million dollar advance, Brock missed the national security implications of Hillary Clinton's actions as "apparent" White House Counsel, and her other obvious corrupt conduct that has been the subject of endless major investigations.
Because Brock takes his current position as judge and jury without qualification, he gives new definition to the words, "arrogant" and "hypocrite." Now Brock has openly criticizing me again, and my vindicated book, and my publisher, along with Jerry Oppenheimer's new book, alleging the Hillary verbal slurs.
Brock rehashes his groundless and disproved allegations against my book in his latest inaccurate piece. For example, he mislabels my #1 New York Times bestseller, Unlimited Access - An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House, as the first of a series of "anti-Clinton" books, designed to cash in on what Brock identifies as a mysterious and unexplainable hatred of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Brock's claims are simply incorrect. Most informed Americans know that there were several major, highly critical works about the Clintons before mine was published in 1996, including the thinly disguised Primary Colors, a novel that fairly nailed the Clintons' and their supporters' patterns of smarmy conduct.
Then, Brock goes on to gratuitously slam my publisher, Alfred Regnery, claiming that the success of my book, and Regnery's many other New York Times best-selling Clinton books are somehow fiction, disguised as fact. I was a 26-year veteran FBI agent, trained as an investigator, and an accurate reporter of facts. The other authors also had serious credentials and experiences enough to produce very accurate views of this power-hungry couple.
In his piece, Brock attempts to connect Regnery, Oppenheimer and me together in some convoluted alignment that only a loony left-winger could possibly appreciate. But, Brock has written it that way on purpose. This is a classic Clinton misinformation technique - Brock's claims do not need to be truthful - he just has to deny the truth, and that will be good enough for the blindly loyal liberals.
Brock counts on the "Loony Left" to pick up his nonsense, and keep it going.
In yet another example of how far Brock will go to diminish the work of others, he explains away the success of my book (and presumably the failure of his) by falsely claiming that it reached New York Times #1 bestseller status for weeks and weeks because Regnery sold it though a conservative book club. Brock infers that this is the way all successful anti-Clinton books are marketed on to the best-selling status.
Of course this is false, and even the New York Times knows better. They designed the bestseller list, and they control it. You can bet it was very painful for them to watch my book climb up, and up, and stay on the top of their list. If there had been anything "funny" about the sales of my book or any of the other Regnery books about Clinton, you can bet the Times would have kept those bestsellers off of their vaunted list.
Brock knows nothing about me, my book, my sources, or my stories, but with the assistance of a gleeful White House, and with some in the liberal press egging him on, Brock has led a relentless, sometimes frenzied, always false and malicious attack on my credibility, designed to discourage American citizens from finding out the real truth about the Clintons, and their sleazy friends.
Brock has clearly enjoyed every minute of this undeserved attention. But his constant access to the liberal mainstream media, plus efforts by the Clinton White House to intimidate any television networks from giving me a chance to prove my allegations has created doubt in the minds of many potential readers of my book.
Nevertheless, American citizens would later learn the ugly truth that I, and others were trying to tell them. The rude awakening came with revelations of Monica Lewinsky in the Oval Office, and Chinese intelligence agents and drug dealers having the run of the White House, in return for campaign cash. The Clintons had turned the White House into a sleazy "X" rated motel - and seemed willing to do anything to maintain their power.
In spite of the glaring nature of Brock's propaganda piece, I predict the hallelujah chorus of the "Vast Left Wing" will embrace his editorial as "truth," and continue to deny the obvious, then attack the messenger - in this case, Jerry Oppenheimer - in their usual, all-out effort to destroy the messenger and the message.
Did Hillary ever slur Jews and use obscenities after she became furious with a campaign worker when she lost her taxpayer-funded luxurious mansion, as well as her much coveted, loved power trip? I'm surprised that anybody would believe that Hillary Clinton would not say those words or words very much like those words.
Sadly, Brock's own particular style of ugliness is not quite over. He's announced a tell-all book he's putting together about his former associates on the "Right." First Brock betrayed the Left, and now he further betrays the Right. Is there any group left to betray? If you happen to be in such a group, you'd better keep a close eye on David Brock - and don't tell him anything you don't want to read about in the New York Times!
Can those on the "Right" learn anything from David Brock's deception and treachery? Perhaps only that if the Right decides to have a real "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" they're going to need a better background check than the one the Right used to "vet" David Brock.

New York, New York (PRWEB) November 18, 2013
Preschoolers can learn about healthy eating and exercise through Sesame Street.
In a study presented on November 18 at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2013, preschoolers in Bogotá, Colombia participating in a structured curriculum that used Sesame Street's Healthy Habits for Life materials improved their knowledge, attitudes and habits related to a heart-healthy lifestyle. Also, the percentage of children at a healthy weight improved by 13 percent.
In 2006, Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, the study's principal investigator and Director of Mount Sinai Heart and Physician-in-Chief at The Mount Sinai Hospital, partnered with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, to develop this campaign to promote cardiovascular health education in the developing countries. Colombia was selected as the pilot.
In a five-month school based intervention, Sesame Street characters introduced heart-healthy ideas and actions to three- to five-year-olds and their parents in 14 preschools in underprivileged neighborhoods in Bogotá. Topics included:
•Loving and caring for your body;
•Eating a variety of foods, with a rainbow of colorful fruits and vegetables as "everyday foods" and other foods (such as cookies) as "sometime" foods;
•Physical activity as a way to feel great and play with your friends, with opportunities for exercise in many settings.
Three years after the intervention, researchers retested 598 children and 475 parents:
•Compared to their scores prior to the program, the children's knowledge improved 15 percent, attitudes 51 percent, and heart-healthy habits 27 percent.
•The percentage of children at a healthy weight rose from 62 percent to 75 percent.
•Parents' increased knowledge and attitudes about heart-healthy behavior was smaller, but significant.
"As a result of our successful pilot intervention in Colombia, the program has also been implemented in Spain, where we have expanded our reach to 20,000 more children," says Dr. Fuster. "Additional countries are now joining in the implementation of this vital childhood intervention allowing for increased education about the benefits of a heart-healthy lifestyle to better protect our world's tiniest hearts."
"Cardiovascular health promotion should be started as early as possible and be integrated into all aspects of a child's life, including family and school," says Jaime Céspedes, MD, study co-author and director of the Pediatric Hospital at the Cardioinfantil Foundation Institute of Cardiology in Bogotá, Colombia, who presented the study's findings at the AHA Scientific Sessions 2013.
In addition, Colombia researchers are developing an intervention targeted at children in rural preschools and another aimed at those in the elementary grades.
Study co-authors are German Dario Briceño, MD, MSc; Michael E. Farkouh, MD, MSc; Rajesh Vedanthan, MD, MPH; Jorge Baxter, MA; Martha Leal, MD, MSc; Paolo Boffetta, MD, PhD; Marilyn Hunn, BS; and Rodolfo Dennis, MD, MSc.
The Santo Domingo Foundation funded the study.
This study was presented as Late-Breaking Clinical Trial (Abstract 19618): Promotion of Cardiovascular Health in Preschool Children: 36-month Cohort Follow-up.

Anemia is a common blood disorder that occurs when there are fewer red blood cells than normal, and there is not enough hemoglobin transported to supply the body:
Hemoglobin. This is the part of red blood cells that distribute oxygen from the lungs to tissues in the body and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be removed from the body.
Hematocrit. The measurement of the percentage of red blood cells found in a specific volume of blood.
Anemia is often a symptom of a disease rather than a disease itself. Anemia usually develops due to the presence of one of the following:
Excessive blood loss or hemorrhaging
Deficient production of red blood cells
Excessive red blood cell destruction
Both decreased production and excessive destruction of red blood cells
Sequestration (the pooling of red cells in the spleen, an organ in your abdomen that helps fight infections)
Most symptoms of anemia are a result of the decrease of oxygen in the cells or hypoxia. Because red blood cells, as hemoglobin, carry oxygen, a decreased production or number of these cells result in hypoxia. Many of the symptoms will not be present with mild anemia as the body can often compensate for gradual changes in hemoglobin.
The following are the most common symptoms for anemia:
Abnormal paleness or lack of color of the skin
Increased heart rate
Breathlessness, or difficulty catching a breath
Lack of energy, or tiring easily (fatigue)
Dizziness, or vertigo, especially when standing
Irregular menstruation cycles
Absent or delayed menstruation
Sore or swollen tongue
Jaundice, or yellowing of skin, eyes, and mouth
Enlarged spleen or liver (splenomegaly, hepatomegaly)
Slow or delayed growth and development
Impaired wound and tissue healing
The symptoms of anemia may look like other blood disorders or medical problems. Because anemia is often a symptom associated with another disease, it is important for your child's doctor to be aware of symptoms he or she may be experiencing. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
Generally, anemia may be caused by several problems, including the following:
Certain diseases
Certain medications
Poor nutrition
Iron deficiency anemia
Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia
Hemolytic anemia
Sickle cell anemia
Cooley's anemia (thalassemia)
Aplastic anemia
Chronic anemia
Anemia may be suspected on a complete medical history and physical exam of your child, such as complaints of tiring easily, pale skin and lips, shortness of breath, or a fast heartbeat. Anemia is usually discovered during a medical exam through blood tests that measure the concentration of hemoglobin and the number of red blood cells.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, other tests may include:
Additional blood tests
Bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. A procedure that involves taking a small amount of bone marrow fluid (aspiration) and/or solid bone marrow tissue (called a core biopsy), usually from the hip bones, to be examined for the number, size, and maturity of blood cells and/or abnormal cells.
Your child's health care provider will figure out the best treatment based on:
How old your child is
His or her overall health and medical history
How sick he or she is
How well your child can handle specific medications, procedures, or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
Anemia can be difficult to treat and may include:
Vitamin and mineral supplements
Change in your child's diet
Medication and/or discontinuing causative medications
Treatment of the causative disorder
Surgery to remove spleen (if related to hemolytic anemia)
Blood transfusions, if necessary (to replace significant loss)
Antibiotics (if infection is causative agent)
Bone marrow transplant (for aplastic anemia)
