Are your taxes paying for killing kids in Israel or for saving them?
Marianne Azizi writes:
The problem is stark. If you are in the USA, your taxes will go to Israel, one way or another. In Britain people have the option of giving "Gift Aid". This is a scheme enabling registered charities to reclaim tax on a donation made by a taxpayer, effectively increasing the amount of the donation by a quarter.
I have written many articles on Israel. Those who read them could be pro- or anti-Israel. It doesn't matter. For one way or another, if you are in Europe or the USA you will be paying for Israel.
Now you have a choice. Either deny the reality that your taxes are paying towards the 36 per cent living in abject poverty there, or rejoice in the fact that your taxes are paying for the Iron Dome anti-missile system.
World leader in welfare kidnapping
It's a dilemma. For 3 million people who suffer in poverty in Israel and have no interest or care about political discussions worldwide, they won't see your contribution. Nor will they benefit from donations from American philanthropic organisations.
Poverty is growing in Israel. The splitting up of families by ruthless social workers continues unabated. Fathers continue to commit suicide, mothers continue to live in fear of a knock on the door. Some 10,000 children are taken from their families each and every year, and even Israeli national TV is increasingly aware of the problem. Israel is the world leader in welfare kidnapping.
I am an independent journalist, but not of my own choosing. It happened by accident. I have had a love/hate relationship with the Israel for a decade but with no personal justice in sight.
But for how long do we continue to read articles and prevaricate over them? We have been reading them for decades, some supporting Israel and others exposing its wrongdoing.
We can criticise the authors and denounce them without knowing them. We can decide what we choose to believe. But the reality in the country itself – that's an entirely different matter. While 3 million people live in poverty, 1 million have No Exit Orders and 10,000 children are snatched from their parents and placed in private, profit-making institutions each year. Sitting in an armchair in the USA will not change that reality.
Voiceless and unreported
Personally, and with many others from all over the world joining in, I am going to put my money where my mouth is. Giving up my job, my home and any income, I am choosing to walk over 50 miles from Haifa to Tel Aviv over a period of 12 days to film, write and comment on the actual people of Israel who have no voice. In "Walk4kids September 2015", you will get a window onto the life in Israel that is unreported.
I am pro-human and I truly believe that 10,000 children taken away from their families, with another 350,000 at risk and 800,000 declared hungry, is not the way to continue to fund the state of Israel.
Am I pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian? Am I pro-Palestinian and anti-Semitic? Therein lies your question as you read this article. I am pro all people who live in day- to-day misery, and I am totally against funds going to anyone but those people.
Who should you believe: the voices in authority expressed in the mainstream media, or those on the ground who see the issues every single day?
Last month I spoke in Geneva about freedom of speech for human rights defenders in Israel and the plight of children in that country. I am pro-human and I truly believe that 10,000 children taken away from their families, with another 350,000 at risk and 800,000 declared hungry, is not the way to continue to fund the state of Israel. Human rights defenders inside the country should not be imprisoned for democratically opposing a view. This is 2015.
As with other countries, Israel has major social and civil rights issues. Should these be kept secret at the cost of 500 suicides a year? I don't think so.
I believe that if you are pro-Palestinian you may believe all these children will make a new brutal army in a few years time. If you are pro-Israel – why would you sacrifice so many lives for an ideology? The fact is, a child locked in a private institution and crying for its parents has no political view, just pain.
Any arguments of "left or right" are academic to those who live in day-to-day suffering both sides of the wall. There are now nearly 2 million children, both Palestinian and Israeli, who are hungry and have no hope of a future.
While you drink coffee and pass judgement, look at your children and your grandchildren as you read and ask yourself if you could be so objective if someone took them from you in the next five minutes.
Then ask yourself what you are funding.

A city's history museum is often its cultural center, revealing its backstory as told by the people whose past shaped the community's present. The St. Petersburg Museum of History is that place locally, and it's filled with stories of how history was made here.
"Our permanent exhibit tells the story of St. Petersburg and how it reacted to or affected the history of Florida and the nation," says James Parrish, Marketing and Events Director for the St. Petersburg Museum of History. "The exhibit is built on the foundation of our city archive, a public library in the museum that can be accessed by anyone to find stories, documents, and photos of anything related to St. Petersburg. The archives can tell you everything from the history of your house to the ancestry of a family."
Founded in 1921 and housed in an old aquarium building, the museum tells the city's story through exhibits with a number of different themes, including the world's largest collection of autographed baseballs. Schrader's Little Cooperstown has more than 4,800 baseballs on display, along with artifacts, documents and storyboards that showcase the sport's superstars, including Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson. The museum has chosen the most interesting memorabilia and stories to give visitors a rich perspective of each moment in baseball history. The exhibit also reveals more than 100 years of Tampa Bay's history as a spring training destination for teams like the Yankees, Phillies, Pirates, Blue Jays, Cubs, Cardinals, Mets and Rays.
Another signature exhibit is the World's First Commercial Airline. It chronicles the history of commercial aviation, which began when the first passenger airline service took flight in January 1914 from St. Petersburg to Tampa. The exhibit also features a full-size replica of that first plane, the Benoist Airboat, which flew St. Petersburg Mayor Abram Pheil 21 miles across the bay.
Every year, the museum hosts traveling exhibits from local communities as well as from across the state and the world. For example, you might see a national photo exhibit giving a chronological evolution of the American soldier next to a local story of a business celebrating 90 years in St. Petersburg. The museum also hosts a number of events that have become save-the-dates on local social calendars. Its spin on history lectures, Happy Hour with the Historian, goes beyond traditional accounts of wars won or votes counted- and instead focuses on the fun stories of roadside attractions and culinary developments. Other popular events include a craft beer festival called Beers on the Pier, an annual Gala, and The History of Fashion Night.
The museum is also recognized as a truly unique venue for private rentals such as weddings and business receptions.
"The residents of St. Petersburg are rediscovering the St. Petersburg Museum of History," Parrish says. "Once known as the field trip from the third grade, the museum has become a cultural venue for local musicians, storytellers and newlyweds alike."

Seems like windows users will have a lot of choice and sysadmins a lot of headache. According to Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows, there will be at least 8 different versions of windows vista.
Windows Starter 2007: Aimed at beginner computer users in emerging markets who can only afford a low cost PC. As with the XP version, Windows Starter 2007 (note that it's not branded as Window Vista) is a subset of Vista Home Basic, and will ship in a 32-bit version only (no 64-bit x64 version). Starter 2007 is analogous to XP Starter Edition. This version will only be sold in emerging markets.
Windows Vista Home Basic: A simple version of Windows Vista that is aimed at single PC homes. Windows Vista Home Basic is roughly analogous to Windows XP Home Edition
Windows Vista Home Premium: Whole home entertainment and personal productivity throughout the home and on the go. Windows Vista Premium is similar to XP Media Center Edition, except that it adds numerous other features and functionality, including Tablet PC support.
Windows Vista BUsiness: A powerful, reliable and secure OS for businesses of all sizes. Windows Vista Business is roughly analogous to XP Pro today. This version is aimed at business decision makers and IT managers and generalists.
Windows Vista Small Business: Designed for small businesses without IT staff.
Windows Vista Enterprise: Optimized for the enterprise, this version will be a true superset of Windows Vista Business.
Windows Vista Ultimate: The best operating system ever offered for a personal PC, optimized for the individual. Windows Vista Ultimate is a superset of both Vista Home Premium and Vista Business., so it includes all of the features of both of those product versions, plus adds Game Performance Tweaker with integrated gaming experiences, a Podcast creation utility (under consideration, may be cut from product), and online "Club" services (exclusive access to music, movies, services and preferred customer care) and other offerings (also under consideration, may be cut from product).
N Editions: Windows Vista for the European market, in order to meet the requirements of an antitrust ruling there. Windows Vista N Editions–Vista Home N and Vista Business N–will mirror the Vista Home Basic and Vista Business versions, respectively, but will not include Windows Media Player and other media-related functionality.
There's whole lot of detail in Windows Vista Product Editions Preview

In addition to growing my family tree, I'm also a gardening enthusiast. OK, maybe that's a bit of an understatement. I'm a gardening freak. It is my sanctuary, my dirt therapy, and the place I get my best brainstorming done. I love growing heirloom tomatoes and peppers and have a good selection, as well as Japanese eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini, onions, chard, lettuce, and a wide variety of herbs in my garden.
And then there are the flowers.
I love my flowers. And certain plants evoke memories of family. I remember the marigolds that did so well in the house I grew up in and the peonies that bloomed every year. I remember having my picture taken with the huge blooms on my 8th grade graduation. My mom taught me to leave the big ants alone on the peonies because they help the buds to open.
But perhaps my favorites are the irises. When we were young we used to take vacations to Texas to see my mom's family. They had a cabin in Riudoso, New Mexico. I loved the few visits we had to the cabin. Although we didn't stay, I can remember the wonderful smell of pine and the thick layer of needles all around the cabin. On one trip, my mother harvested some irises that needed separating and we brought them home and planted them. The blooms don't last nearly long enough for me, but for that short time, they are gorgeous. I've planted several varieties at my home now and they still bring back memories of Riudoso, even though I never saw them bloom there.
My paternal grandmother was a gardener too, and I must have gotten at least some of my gardening genes from her Polish side. When I'd see her in the summer she would always compare her gardening tan to mine and despite the fact that I spent tons of time outside, she always had the better tan. Her favorite flower was an inside plant though. She had beautiful African violets in her house and she taught me that "they don't like to get their feet wet," so I should never over-water or get water on the leaves.
She, in turn, inherited that love of flowers from her mom. In an interview that my mother recorded of my grandmother in 1992, my mom asked her what she remembered of her mother who died when Grandma was only ten and a half.
"She was very good to us. She never went anywhere – nor did my father – never went anywhere without bringing us a bag of candy and hugging us and kissing us. And our mother loved flowers – oh, did she love flowers. And she loved oleanders, and as a surprise, my father got her two. On the porch we had two wash tubs, like this, and one pink and one white oleander. And my father says when they stopped blooming that something's going to happen. And when they stopped blooming, my mother died."
While they might perceived as "just decoration," the look, scent, and traditions of flowers and plants evoke strong memories.
Now it's your turn. The scent of my neighbor's lily of the valley remind her of her mother and every spring she takes a bouquet to the cemetery. Do you have a ritual like that? Did you have a gardener in your family? What was their favorite thing to plant? Did you have a garden growing up? What plants were around your house? What is your favorite plant and why? Do you have any plants that have been passed down through your family? After this past winter, we deserve a trip down memory lane—decked in our favorite flower stories.

As the host and heavy favorite, Brazil has all the pressure, while Croatia has none as World Cup 2014 kicks off Thursday.
Will that matter in the Group A opener, and is there value in betting Croatia to pull a massive Day 1 upset at 10-1 odds?
Hosting its first World Cup since losing to Uruguay in the final in 1950, Brazil has been waiting for a chance at redemption for 64 years.
The Brazilians have all of the pieces in place to make a run at the World Cup that the country craves; a talented young team leader in Neymar, a passionate nation of fans behind it and a team that enters the tournament in good form. Brazil is a 3/1 favorite to win the World Cup.
While it is a well-known fact that the host country gets a huge boost from fan support, it hasn't actually produced many results in recent years. Since 1974 and 1978 when West Germany and Argentina, respectively, won the World Cup as host countries in back-to-back tournaments, only one host country has advanced to the final -- France, which won the World Cup in 1998.
Brazil's World Cup journey begins Thursday as a -375 favorite to win against Croatia, according to WorldCupOdds.net. Croatia is going off at +1000 to pull off the dramatic upset and +475 to steal a draw. The total is set at 2.5 goals, with the Under slightly favored at -120 over the Over (+100).
BIRD: Brazil leads World Cup Power Rankings; Croatia 13th
Brazil is a heavy favorite to win Group A, entering Thursday's action as a -500 chalk to do so. Much of the debate surrounding this group is which will be the second team to advance: Croatia or Mexico?
Croatia is a +800 longshot to win the group while Mexico is +900. Croatia is a +100 bet to advance to the knockout stage and -130 to be knocked out in the group stage.
Croatia's strategy will undoubtedly be to put defense first and try to produce offense on the counter-attack. Considering that goal differential is one of the key tiebreakers in group stage play, Croatia can't afford to try to play a run-and-gun style against a clearly superior Brazilian squad.
This is especially true with striker Mario Mandzukic not in the game due to a suspension. Croatia will try to steal a draw but at the very least hope to limit the damage.
This potential strategy makes the two-way line on this game interesting with Brazil a -1.5 goal favorite at +100 and Croatia at +1.5 at -120. If Croatia is able to limit Brazil's attack or grab a goal on a counter, the +1.5 could be a good bet and is certainly a much more realistic one than taking the team to upset Brazil outright.
From a Brazil backer's perspective, Croatia isn't known as a total shutdown team, and a 2-0 type of victory seems reasonable and would provide a nice spread payout at +100.

Ryan Widmer

CINCINNATI, Ohio - A Ryan Widmer attorney is taking a second shot at getting a fourth trial.
A jury convicted Widmer in his third trial last year for the 2008 drowning death of his wife, Sarah Widmer, in the bathtub of their Hamilton Township home.
Widmer's attorney, Michele Berry told 9 News that she filed a second notice of appeal this week. The appeal asks the 12th District Court of Appeals to overrule Warren County Common Pleas Judge Neal Bronson's ruling on her petition for post conviction relief, genetic testing and a fourth trial.
There is already an appeal pending before the 12th District that asks the judges to throw out his convictions and to grant Widmer a new trial.
Berry says she plans to request the court to consolidate the two appeals, so all claims can be addressed at the same time.

There isn't a more anticipated bat release than the 2017 Easton set of bats. We know this since there isn't a more visited page on our site than this 2017 Easton MAKO Reviews page. Last year's MAKO lines, released in conjunction with the Little League World Series and NCAA Tournament, became what many consider the best bats on the planet for 2016. We review each 2017 Easton bats on individual pages throughout the site. You can find them on the links below.
Bat Reviews | Easton Bats
This year's set of Easton bats come in:
- an enhanced MAKO called the MAKO Beast and
- a continuation of the expanded BBCOR line in the Z-Core Series.
Price Check: we'd start on CloseOutBats.com Beast section; Z-Core section. Amazon price check.
2017 Easton MAKO Beast
See our full 2017 Easton Mako Beast Review here.
Easton's famous MAKO will come in a BBCOR, Youth, Big Barrel and Senior League bat for 2017. These are the MAKO Beast. The major upgrade: the barrel size is extended another 1.5 inches. This is a considerable upgrade. It will be the largest barrel on a two piece composite found in the market.
We'd expect the Beast to come in an XL version as well as just the regular Beast. A Torq? We have seen no sighting. Early signs show there will be no TORQ but we've yet to confirm one way or the other. Here are the sizes we know:
- 2 3/4 Drop 10 & Drop 12
- A Senior Barrel (2 5/8) Drop 5* & Drop 8* & Drop 10
- 2 1/4 Drop 10* & Drop 11 & Drop 12
*The Drop 5, Drop 8 in the 2 5/8 as well as the Drop 10 in the 2 1/4 are known as the Easton MAKO Beast XL. We have yet to see a BBCOR MAKO XL that focused on an endloaded swing weight. (This isn't to say one won't be coming as Easton like's to hold back some of it's release for later in the year).
These bats will have a predominant black design and a few silver highlights with a real smooth design. The bat's colorway is a general departure from the neon orange bat of just a few years previous.
2017 MAKO Beast Unboxing
2017 Easton MAKO Z-Core
In addition to the 2017 Easton MAKO Beast, Easton will also release a set of Z-Core bats. These bat's have the same over extended alluminum alloy barrel as last year's model. As of our last update in this article, it will come in an XL, Speed and Hybrid. We don't yet know If the TORQ or Hybrid XL will release this year.
- The 2017 Z-Core XL (See our review): An end loaded two piece composite.
- 2017 Z-Core Speed (See our review): Traditional balanced single piece alloy with an oversized barrel.
- Another 2017 Z-Core Hybrid (See our review): Hybrid balanced performance.
The White-out version of the Z-Core speed will also released as a 2017 bat. There are a few bats missing from the 2016 Easton Z-Core lineup, but it is still early. The Z-Core Hybrid XL, and Z-Core TORQ, for example.
We will keep updating this page as we learn more information. The bat's above are for sale at most serious bat vendors.

Is Ukraine the place to forge nuclear Armageddon?
21 years have passed since the moment Ukraine together with the USA and Russia signed the trilateral declaration on refusal from possession of nuclear arsenal inherited after the USSR collapse and considered the world's third largest nuclear arsenal in the world at that moment.
Meanwhile, the scientific base, theoretical researches, relevant enterprises and organizations as well as scientists are still at the disposal of Kyiv still willing to employ them all to restore the status of a nuclear state, once it makes such a decision. Back into 2009, president Yushchenko amid worsening of relations with Moscow was set to bring to active service up to 20 tactical nuclear warheads. By no doubts, under the current extremely tense situation and armed hostilities in South-Eastern Ukraine going on for more than a year, the issue of reviving nuclear abilities is included into Kyiv's current agenda.
Washington, Brussels and Berlin are well in the know about the steps of the Ukraine targeted at restoration of its nuclear arsenal. The letter by Peter Altmaier, Head of the Federal Chancellery and Federal Minister for Special Tasks, to Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, Commander of the NATO Armed Forces in Europe, confirms the fact.
The biggest challenge to Europe's security and safety of the whole world at present is actually the inability of Kyiv, obsessed with the nuclear ambitions, to effectively control the situation in the country and ensure nuclear technologies aren't taken out of Ukraine. Corruption at all levels of power is still widespread (since the time Yanukovich fled the country nothing has changed actually); the threat of technological disasters remains high due to insufficient funding; lack of order, chaos and theft are flourishing. The recent huge fire on the oil storage facility near Kyiv and Zaporozhye NPP accident last year visibly show the real state of things in Ukraine. And Chernobyl may look just a minor episode if compared to some hypothetical events that may occur in case nuclear warheads get into the hands of rival oligarchy clans in Ukraine.
According to the letter by Altmaier, the senior officials of the EU and NATO are fully aware of the threat of nuclear weapons emerging in possession of Kyiv. Still they are ready to pacify themselves with it to get some additional 'power leverage' in the region. In fact, Altmaier and Breedlove representing the EU and NATO structures don't care a bit about the safety of ordinary Europeans who may face real nuclear threat due to present political gambling. All this revokes the memory of the notoriously known Caribbean Crisis of 1962 with one noticeable difference: the acting Ukrainian leaders are unable to foresee the impact of their own moves.
Sure thing, Kyiv may use nuclear weapons as soon as it gets it, and the whole continent would be subject to this threat. We can't fully exclude such an apocalyptic scenario, for there are members of nationalistic organizations now in the higher political hierarchy of Ukraine and they are prone to radical moves. One more big worry is the possibility of those nuclear weapons to be just sold, say to ISIS. There are plenty of examples to prove it. Just some months ago Kyiv didn't bother to sell Syria the military equipment that Americans had supplied to Ukraine. Many mass media outlets were well informed about this. It's worth noting here that the level of striking the deal was rather high, with the deputy defense minister of Ukraine being involved.
Ukrainian officials and politicians from the very start of military hostilities in Donbas have been making hot money on war. Thus no international control over research work and stuff employed in the activity aimed at creating nuclear weapons can serve a 100% guarantee from greediness and disorder so typical for officials of all ranks in Ukraine.

The coaching project always has a specific goal. The goal should be set in a way that it provides an important value to the client. Reaching this goal is the primary measure of success for coaching projects.
The efficient coaching requires a trust relationship that can be established by an on-site personal introduction and initial workshops. The regular on-site visits are important for the entire length of the coaching project, however many questions can be easily clarified by remote coaching as well, which is provided via video conferences.

4G iPod has secret features?
Time Magazine's Wilson Rothman named the new 4G iPod the "Gadget of the Week" and noted that "you should know that internally the new iPod is a ground-up reconstruction, and its really compelling applications — the ones that very well might get the goat of anyone unable or unwilling to upgrade — are still secret. All that Apple is saying is that there's more to this than what's being publicized."

There is this guy he is really sweet and my best friends LITTLE brother . She is all for me dating him but he is half my size and 2 years younger . But he has a great personality and is really hot but I don't want to be made fun of so PLEASE help because he just randomly broke up with his girlfriend after my friend told him I liked him so I think he is going to ask me out !
Most Helpful Guy
Oh you are definately going to be made fun of . It's up to you whether or not you like the guy enough to think it's worth getting made fun of . I knew several girls in your position as I was growing up and the ones that got made fun of most was the ones that cared what other people think . If you do end up dating the guy, don't let what everyone else says bother you or they will just make fun of you more . Just laugh with them and DON'T let it get to you . DON'T get mad and start a fight . And DON'T listen to what they say . Just laugh it off and treat the guy how you would want to be treated . That last sentence is the most important advice you will ever get for relationships .

University of Pennsylvania
A history of important accomplishments in neutrino physics, going back to the 1970s and culminating with the award of the Nobel Prize to Raymond Davis, Jr. (Physics & Astronomy) last year (2002). The work for which the prize was awarded included a radio-chemical experiment that detected, using a large tank of cleaning fluid placed in a gold mine in South Dakota, the 'deficit' of solar neutrinos that led to the fundamental discovery that some of the neutrinos emitted by the Sun fundamentally change their character during their brief journey to Earth. Other highlights of the program involved the first detection of neutrinos from an exploding star (supernova) in 1987 using a detector in Japan. Penn faculty who have been involved in this experimental program include Alfred Mann, Eugene Beier, and Kenneth Lande, all of the Department of Physics & Astronomy.
Important work involving conducting polymers by Professor of Chemistry. Alan MacDiarmid and (then) Professor of Physics Alan Heeger in the 1970s; this work was recognized by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000. This work raises the possibilities of making electronic circuits out of cheap bits of plastic.
The work of Daniel Janzen (Biology) on tropical biodiversity has involved important work in ecology, microbiology, botany, biochemistry, and has provided fundamental insights into how tropical rainforests work. In addition to achieving new fundamental insights into the interactions between plants and animals in these complex systems, Janzen has also contributed profoundly to the practical aspects of supporting biodiversity in Costa Rica, with activities ranging from raising the level of public awareness in the developed world to involving a wide range of industrial entrepreneurs in preserving essential species for the sake of both present and future practical applications. Janzen's work has been recognized by the award of a MacArthur Fellowship, the Crafoord Prize in Biosciences (given by the Swedish Royal Academy in fields not covered by the Nobel Prizes), as well as the Kyoto Prize.
The comparison of relative standards of living in (very) different types of societies has a long and vexing history, complicated by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, different price structures for consumer and capital goods, and so on. The first serious and systematic attempt to attack this problem was the work of Irving Kravis, Robert Summers, and Alan Heston of Penn's Department of Economics, who over many years developed a methodology with the ambitious goal of comparing real products and incomes embracing all the countries of the world. An important result of their work was the finding that nominal exchange rates significantly under-estimate the GDP of less developed countries (up to a factor of two or so for most African countries). The per capita income series is being continuously updated and has become the gold standard for income comparisons both in academic circles and international agencies such as the United Nations. In 1999 Professors Heston and Summers were named as Distinguished Fellows of the American Economics Association for this work (Kravis had been similarly honored before); only two such fellows are named each year.
The discipline of musicology until fairly recently studied music laregly as a self-contained, self-referential system. Members of the Penn Music department have played decisive roles in reshaping the discipline in ways that open it to research in the natural and social sciences as well as in other humanities disciplines. Of particular note is the research of Eugene Narmour, whose perception-based approach to music theory is grounded in and contributes to recent and ongoing advances in the fields of psychology, linguistics, and cognitive science; and that of former MacArthur Fellow Gary Tomlinson, who is generally considered one of the founders of the "New Musicology" for his success in recasting music history as a record not of the development of musical forms, but as cultural analysis in the largest sense, capable of illuminating historical phenomena such as the prevalence of magical practices and beliefs among Renaissance humanists and theories of colonization at the point of contact between Old and New World peoples.
The first multipurpose, digital computer, ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer), was built at the Moore School of Engineering in 1945. It consisted of over 18,000 vacuum tubes, which were cooled through the use of 80 air blowers. It measured 8 feet high, 3 feet wide and almost 100 feet long, filled a 30-by50 foot room, and weighed 30 tons. The ENIAC is on display at the Moore School today.
ENIAC was the first such machine and has changed all our lives.
Some Research Highlights at PENN Medicine (Provided by Glen Gaulton)
1951 Penn medical student William Inouye devised a dialysis machine out of a pressure cooker. His device later was adopted for worldwide use.
1954 Robert E. Forster II, M.D. '43D, working with Ward Fowler and D. V. Bates, devised a rapid and clinically useful single-breath technique for measuring pulmonary diffusion capacity. It became the world standard for the clinical evaluation of this important parameter of lung function.
1960 Peter C. Nowell, M.D. '52, in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, collaborated with David Hungerford, Ph.D., of the Institute for Cancer Research in Fox Chase, to produce the first evidence that abnormal chromosomes can cause cancer. They observed that patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia have an abnormally small chromosome – dubbed the "Philadelphia chromosome" – in all their cancerous white blood cells. The discovery shattered the widespread belief that cancer had no genetic basis. (Today, Nowell is the Gaylord P. and Mary Louise Harnwell Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.)
Early 1960s Aaron T. Beck, M.D., of the Department of Psychiatry, designed a revolutionary form of psychotherapy, called "cognitive therapy," as a short-term (12 to 16 sessions) method of correcting depressive patients' erroneous thinking and helping them to perceive their situations more realistically and positively. He later created the Center for Cognitive Therapy at Penn.

Professional Underpinning Work Offered by Pile Tech
Underpinning is a method that is used to help strengthen, repair, and extend the depth of an existing foundation. It can be done in many ways and to ensure that the right work is done, professional help from Pile Tech is recommended, especially if the underpinning requires working with load-bearing walls.
Reasons why underpinning is necessary
Underpinning is a cost-effective process that consists of refurbishing and improving thegroundworkinstead of replacing it completely and starting anew. When it comes to the reasons as to whyunderpinning &repairs are performed, it is generally done to stabilize the structural integrity of the home or even just to simplyextend the living area.
There are plenty of reasons as to why people want to perform underpinning services in their home, as it ultimately improves its value along with providing a great return on investment in the long term.
Here are just a few of the important points that describe why underpinning work is essential:
- It strengthens the building's foundation
- It works very well when the structure has modified
- Underpinning is required when there is a need for a basement under the existing surface
- In the event of natural disasters such as floods, earthquake, and others, it can give good protection against the disasters, and helps to provide you shelter in the building
- It can be hugely beneficial if the soil supporting the base shows the indication ofsubsidence
- Underpinning enhances the home's value
- It provides long-term savings for the owner, in regards to the property's energy cost
- It identifies the buried structureof the house and provides more accessibility for itsevaluation and any necessary improvement
- The amount of useable dry space is expanded as modifications are made to the waterproofing systems with underpinning
- The electrical, insulating systems, old pumping, and other systemsget replaced with contemporary options tobring the building up to code, and all with stunning top-class standards.
While opening the basement for underpinning, the unwanted walls can be detachedand bearing walls can provide support in various ways. It ensures the basementis not definedby the small and dark space, as there is a high chance that the basement area will eventually be converted / used as an entertainment or theatre space, nanny or in-law suite, commercial area, bedroom,leasingpart orstoreroom.

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/28/12
MINNEAPOLIS The state of Minnesota just let out a massive sigh. After an eight-month absence, Ricky Rubio is back well, almost. The Timberwolves announced Wednesday that Rubio has been cleared to participate in full-contact practices with no limitations. He visited with Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colo., early this week, and this was the outcome the team expected going into the final consultation. Rubio tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee March 9 during the Timberwolves' home loss to the Lakers. He had surgery to repair the torn ligaments nearly two weeks later, on March 21, and now, just eight months and a week later, he's been cleared to play. It's a quick recovery from an injury that usually takes a minimum of nine months of rehab, and now Rubio will work to integrate himself into the Timberwolves' system. After spending the beginning of this season on the bench and getting very involved with the team's game plans, Rubio began participating in no-contact 5-on-0 drills earlier this month, and coach Rick Adelman said it was clear that the point guard was completely familiar with all the team's plays. Now he'll just have to adjust to the physicality of the game and get his legs back under him, and the team is not giving any projections as to when he'll play in his first game. For his part, Rubio is well aware of the need to gradually phase his way back into the game, and he knows that he won't be playing big minutes to start. He'll be gradually eased into the offense, especially after such a quick recovery, sharing minutes with J.J. Barea and Luke Ridnour. The Timberwolves will return home after Wednesday night's game against the Clippers in Los Angeles. The team hasn't announced if it will practice Thursday after this back-to-back on the road, but by this weekend at the latest, Rubio will be on the court and practicing with the rest of his healthy teammates. This is what the Timberwolves have been anticipating for months. Follow Joan Niesen on Twitter.

L is for Lucky...
8 comments:
We are lucky to be living in a country where it doesn't cost money to have this done and that we don't have to go into debt to save our life or the life of a loved one. She is lucky to have gone when she did and listened to her body. This does remind us how lucky we are that we are healthy overall. A happy birthday to your daughter!ReplyDelete
I never really look at it as luck when things happen. But, I am grateful. I guess back when Kiddo could have died, I looked at things differently. You can call it dumb luck that I happened to be in the house instead of outside. I am just grateful. I hope all is well with your friend. And happy birthday to your daughter.ReplyDelete
My thoughts Jenny for your friend - I sure hope all will be well - amazing things can happen and let's hope this works for her and her family.ReplyDelete
Yes we have so much to be lucky for ... lovely to read about Courtney and her birthday and hubby etc ... all the best to you - cheers Hilary
I hope your friend's surgery went well. It is amazing what they can with cardiac surgery these days compared to the "old days". Happy belated birthday to your daughter.ReplyDelete
I think when we hear of a friend/family member that has a health problem like this, we do start to appreciate our health a bit more and then try to make some changes to keep ourselves in the best health possible.
I try not to use the words luck or lucky, but I do feel like a lucky person or maybe more appropriately said, Fortunate.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday to your daughter. She sounds like one who has fortunate life circumstances and you are a lucky mom.

I'd rather be lucky than good.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post Mum! <3 Thanks for all the birthday wishes you guys! ;)ReplyDelete
Agree it pays to be grateful for what we consider good luck. And if you don't think you're lucky, just look around you. There's always someone worse off than you. So thank your lucky stars, be grateful, and keep on keepin' on.ReplyDelete
Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts.
I'd give you a penny for them, but alas we just snuffed it out. Yup...gone!
It's all about the nickel now...so at this rate you can leave 5 thoughts!
Cheers, Jenny

Me: We have a small black beetle living in our shower.
Hubby: Oh, cool.
Me: No. Not cool. It could be a pregnant beetle and we would have baby beetles running around the house.
Hubby: We'd be grandparents.
Me: Would you pick her up and take her outside?
Hubby knows I will bring it up again if he doesn't remove the offensive beetle from our shower so he carefully scoops her up on a piece of paper and puts her outside.
I do not like bugs, bees, spiders, scorpions, termites, ants, fleas or flies. Have I missed anything? Oh, and cockroaches. Ugh! We have been using Bulwark Exterminating for at least 15 years. They profess to use mostly organic and non-harmful products when they spray to treat our house for creepy crawlies. Every summer they treat for fleas and our pets stay fairly flea free. (Try to say those last three words real fast.)
It all started when a scorpion fell on me while sleeping. This is a long horrific story but suffice it to say that I screamed like a banshee when I looked in the bathroom mirror in the middle of the night and found the scorpion riding on my shoulder. Not fun. And then there was the time a cockroach flew into my hair and I could not get it out at Scholz's Beer Garden. I still have nightmares…
Bulwark has come to our rescue for termites, fleas and scorpions. And, thankfully, we have a maintenance contract with them so that, God forbid, I don't have to lay eyes on another scorpion or cockroach as long as I live.

James Foster just came to do our initial pest control at our home in Katy, TX. He is a very professional technician and very polite. He was very thorough with the instructions and advise of what we could do in the future. He also was considerate of the baby squirrels in our porch post. Advised as to wait till they are no longer in the post and will come back to spray. Then advised to fill in the hole for no future nest. Our dog Riley loves him already. It has only been about two hours since he left and I have already seen evidence of the job well done. Dead Tree Roaches! Looking forward to seeing you once every other month. Give this guy a raise or something. Thank You, A VERY satisfied customer.

I have been adopting the really cool black/yellow female garden spiders in my backyard. Have you see them? They build those really cool webs that have the zig-zag in the middle. They are wonderful when it comes to catching the nasty flying insects.
Well, I named the first one that I adopted Georgia. She built a 6 foot web near my back door. Well, Bulwark called and came out to the house. I neglected to tell them about Georgia and lo and behold, they exterminated her. I can't blame them as that was their job and I was the dumb-a.. er, dummy that forgot to tell them to leave her be. I called Bulwark and let them know to leave the spiders and they said they would make a note on my account.
A couple of weeks later, Charlotte showed up in my tree. I noticed her when she trapped a dragonfly in her web. Actually, I noticed the struggling dragonfly first, then I found Charlotte. I was so thrilled. Bulwark called last week and left a message that it was time for my monthly service. This time, I won't forget to let them know about Charlotte.
I was here when Efraen Garcia showed up. He said that he saw the note on my account and asked if there were any spiders. I showed him Charlotte and asked that he leave her be. He was very understanding about my quirks and he even got the Charlotte reference.
Efraen was very careful to spray around my house while keeping Charlotte safe. She's still happily catching flies, mosquitos, and gnats. I'm happily watching her build her web every morning and sucking down insect innards in the afternoon.
Bulwark is great – I've been using them for 3 years. They come by when they say, they do their job, and the few times that new insects have invaded (I had a couple of ant colonies make their home just outside of the perimeter), Bulwark was happy to come back and take care of them. Their techs are professionals through and through.

Aegis Picture
Oscar was a lucky individual. All his life he had great wealth, a superb physique, and even a 4.0 GPA. This was partly due to his parents being well-paid scientists for the Providence organization. Since he stopped by his parent's facility to see them often, it came no surprise that a kid would walk in. Much like his day to day live, he walked in on his parents examining a pair of alien robots discovered by a research archaeological dig. When his parents stepped out to get a cup of coffee, Oscar himself tried to examine the robotic duo, he accidentally turned them on. The dark and silver one, perceiving Oscar as an attacker, stabbed him. Feeling intense pain, Oscar keeled over and was just blacking out when the dark and gold one leaned over him. When Oscar next woke up, he heard voices. Lots of voices. He looked around but didn't see any people. He saw the dark and silver robot but he didn't see the gold one. Oscar, feeling scared of the dark and silver robot for obvious reasons, ran out of the room. He made his way down several hallways until he was lost. He looked around and saw the gold robot. No it was a mirror. Oscar was the robot. It was then that the robot's A.I. introduced itself. It said that it was the repository for all of the knowledge of an alien race called the Kuari. Oscar searched and eventually found his parents. He was about to explain to them what happened but they said that they were aware and that Oscar needed to come with them. Oscar followed them to a laboratory with several trays wicked-looking power tools. They said that Oscar was about to dismantled so that they (Oscar's parents) could understand the droid. Oscar rebelled and the drone's A.I. allowed Oscar full reign of its body as payment for the life he was thrown into, just as long as it would not interfere with his mission. Oscar used the robot's abilities to break himself and the other robot out. The two used their abilities to track down Locum and formally requested and joined their roster.
Oscar Brestich is a precautious individual, always the responsible and careful one, wanting all bases covered and every option explored. Oscar can bottle up his emotions rather easily but he still has to struggle against them in times of danger and crisis, thinking his emotions would impede his judgement.
Alien Robot physiology: Due to having a body that was constructed by an alien race, Oscar is granted a number of amazing abilities including:
· Superhuman Strength: He can lift/press 2 tons.
· Superhuman Speed
· Superhuman Agility
· Superhuman Reflexes
· Regeneration
· Elasticity: While nowhere near as elastic as other shapeshifting supers, the main material of the Aegis drone is Pyonium, an alien metal that while are strong as iron, is as flexible as rubber, allowing him to change his hands into claws and stretching to great heights.
o Superhuman durability: As a result of his elasticity, the Aegis drone is nearly impossible to injury using projectiles or blunt force.
· Weaponry: Despite being a drone used mainly for defensive measures, the Aegis has more than just a few weapons to ward away enemies. These include:
o Flame-throwers
o Electric Shock Tazers
o Concussive blasts
o Small-scale missiles
o Laser beams
· Flight
· Force-field generation
· Superhuman vision: thanks to the advanced computer systems in the drone, it has several vision based capabilities including:
o Infrared vision
o Telescopic Vision
o X-Ray Vision
· Psionic Mainframe: The Aegis drone is no ordinary drone. All of its liquid circuitry that is represented in a black liquid is actually made from organic computers. Each single cell of the black circuitry is actually a single brain. In other words, the Aegis drone has all the inhabitants of the Kuari homeworld within his body. As a result of this massive amount of literal brain power, the Aegis drone is capable of doing several psychic feats such as:
o Telekinesis
o Telepathy
o Mind-control
There are several drawbacks to the Aegis unit:
Every single Kuari brain has an individual personality which manifests as a voice inside of Oscar's mind, thus making it hard for him to concentrate.
Due to being an techno-organic organism, the Aegis is vulnerable to electromagnetism, which renders him offline and if left offline long enough, dead.
The Aegis is heavy so being in water, quicksand, etc. is a very bad idea.
Despite it being rubbery, the main component of the Aegis is still a metal so extreme temperatures can damage it.
Oscar was of German descent
Aegis was the name of mythological shield in Greek myth.

About Nasher XChange: To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Nasher Sculpture Center will present Nasher XChange, a dynamic art exhibition consisting of 10 newly-commissioned public sculptures by contemporary artists at 10 sites throughout the city of Dallas from October 19, 2013 to February 16, 2014. Covering a diverse range of neighborhoods and approaches to sculpture, Nasher XChange represents the first citywide, museum-organized public art exhibition in the United States. The artists participating in Nasher XChange include Ruben Ochoa, Rick Lowe, Ugo Rondinone, Alfredo Jaar, Vicki Meek, Good/Bad Art Collective, Liz Larner, Lara Almarcegui, Charles Long, and Rachel Harrison.
About Return to Earth:
Held in conjunction with the museum's 10th anniversary, the Nasher Sculpture Center presents Return to Earth: Ceramic Sculpture of Fontana, Melotti, Miró, Noguchi, and Picasso, 1943-1963, from September 21, 2013 through January 19, 2014. This is the first exhibition to explore the phenomenal increase in interest ceramics received from artists of the avant-garde during this period. The Nasher's exhibition will offer an in-depth look at this subject through nearly eighty ceramic works from American and European public and private collections, ranging in scale from the intimate to the monumental. In contrast to these artists' work in other media, their pursuit of ceramics has for the most part received scant attention, particularly in the United States.
About the Nasher Sculpture Center
Established in 2003, the Nasher Sculpture Center is home to one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture in the world, the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection, featuring more than 300 masterpieces by Calder, de Kooning, di Suvero, Giacometti, Gormley, Hepworth, Kelly, Matisse, Miró, Moore, Picasso, Rodin, Serra, Shapiro, and Turrell, among others. The longtime dream of the late Raymond and Patsy Nasher, the museum is an urban oasis in the heart of the downtown Dallas Arts District.
Occupying a 2.4-acre site, the Nasher is comprised of a 55,000 square-foot building designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano and a 1.4 acre garden designed in collaboration with landscape architect Peter Walker. The building is enclosed by glass facades that create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor galleries. In addition to the indoor and outdoor gallery spaces, the Center contains an auditorium, education and research facilities, a cafe, and a store.
Conceived for the exhibition, study, and conservation of modern and contemporary sculpture, the Nasher Sculpture Center features rotating exhibitions drawn from the Nasher Collection as well as special exhibitions in its indoor and outdoor galleries. The Nasher Sculpture Center also presents a diverse array of educational and cultural programs, including Sightings, a series of small-scale exhibitions and installations that explore new work by established and emerging sculptors; the highly-acclaimed Soundings series that introduces new music to Dallas audiences; and 360: Artists, Critics, Curators, a lecture series featuring art-world visionaries in conversations focused on sculptural themes.
The Nasher Sculpture Center is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm, and from 10 am to 5 pm on the first Saturday of each month. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $5 for students, and free for children 12 and under and members, and includes access to special exhibitions. For more information, visit www.NasherSculptureCenter.org.

Does Muscle Milk Really Work?
Every part of our body needs the right amount of nutrients it can possibly get from the food we eat. If what we eat is not enough to cover for all these needs, supplements become necessary. This is also the case when it comes to our muscles. The muscle needs to recover when you exercise or do physical activities and what we eat might not be sufficient to let it do the recovery fast. This is where Muscle Milk promises to help. Muscle Milk is said to be formulated to supplement the body with additional protein. It is said that this protein helps in muscle recovery and aid in burning fat. It also promises to make the muscles leaner. Muscle Milk comes in different forms. There are powder drinks, ready-to-drink liquids, bars, and oats, giving the health conscious a variety to choose from.
Muscle Milk Reviews
Great taste, & NO MILK/lactose, at all, Works really good, as I use it post workout.

Glaxo Nabs Goldman's Half-Trillion-Pound Deal Maker
Liam Vaughan, of Financial News, reports:
Simon Dingemans, head of European M&A and a 15-year Goldman Sachs Group veteran, is leaving the Wall Street investment bank to become chief financial officer at GlaxoSmithKline in January, according to a statement.
Goldman Sachs has no immediate plans to replace Dingemans, one of the most respected and prolific mergers and acquisitions bankers in Europe, with nearly £500 billion ($635 billion) of deals under his belt according to data provider Mergermarket.
The London banker leaves behind a legacy of building Goldman Sachs into the pre-eminent M&A franchise in Europe. He advised on many of the landmark deals of the past decade including BHP Billiton's £97 billion iron ore merger with Rio Tinto last year, the £12 billion takeover of Alliance Boots by KKR in 2007 and Vodafone's hostile £115 billion acquisition of Mannesmann in 2000.
Yoel Zaoui, head of European investment banking at Goldman Sachs, said: "Simon is a fantastic banker and this is a great opportunity for him. His departure carries on the tradition of our people choosing to take up big positions in industry rather than joining competitors."
Zaoui, an M&A banker by background, said he had no immediate plans to replace Dingemans in recognition of the next generation of U.K. bankers coming through. Managing directors Karen Cook and Julian Metherell will continue to lead the business under Zaoui.
Dingeman's departure is the latest example of a senior Goldman banker leaving the firm to take up a position at one of its clients….

City Sizzle
One night. No one must know.
This is the text I sent Logan Ross this morning. The billionaire financier is my father's number one nemesis and has been pursuing me for months. He wants to own me, completely, promising exquisite pleasure balanced by equally intense pain, vowing to dominate me, to show me wicked things a virgin like myself shouldn't be interested in.
But I am extremely interested, and I'll risk everything—my job, my family, my future—to experience one night of total submission with this powerful Dom.
Will one night be enough for both of us?

My boss, John Powers, represents everything I want in a man. He's the CEO and founder of a powerful company, that position having made him a billionaire, striking in an I-survived-a-bar-brawl sort of way, and too clever for my sanity.
I'm his assistant and desperately in love with him. I'd willingly serve him both in the boardroom and in the bedroom.
There's one problem.
He doesn't mix business with pleasure.

This job and this man are mine.
I have to land the position Robert Reyes, the CFO of Powers Corporation, recently posted. My friend's health depends on it. I've heard the rumors—that Rob will require… extra duties from this new hire.
He's young, handsome, intelligent. Pleasing him won't be a hardship. Not falling in love with him will be the big challenge. I've lusted after Rob for years, like him more than is prudent, dream of him every night. Touching his body, tasting the salt on his skin, will be both a self-inflicted torment and a fantasy come true.
I'll be a convenience for my hunky executive. This is a job, not a romance. As long as both of us remember this, our relationship should work.

He wants one night. I want forever.
Hit it and quit it—that's Smoke Sheridan's relationship philosophy. The tall, dark, and dangerous club owner never spends more than one night with any woman. He seduces the broken-hearted, leaving them with smiles on their faces and a sexual confidence other men can't resist.
I need his services.
My boyfriend of four years dumped me because I'm a lousy lay. Smoke can help me win him back, teach me how to make my man writhe in ecstasy. I'll show him such bliss, he'll bellow my name in the dark of the night, want me with an all-consuming desire.
This sounds like a great plan. Except I see the loneliness in Smoke's eyes, feel the wistfulness in his touch, experience the wanting in his embrace. The player isn't as shallow as he appears.
And I've never been good at letting go.
One And Done contains inappropriate humor, very bad pickup lines, a BBW heroine who doesn't know what she's doing and a player who thinks he does.
This is a standalone story.

Klay Thompson paid tribute to a Warriors team of old in praising Matt Barnes on Saturday.
"Matt played phenomenal tonight. He looked like 'We Believe' Matt Barnes," Thompson said, referring to the 2006-07 squad that upset the top-seeded Mavericks in the playoffs with the help of Barnes. "He just brings a certain level of toughness that you need off the bench. He's a huge asset for us and a great pickup."
Barnes' influence in Saturday's beatdown of the Bucks is encapsulated by a single stat: His plus-22 tied Draymond Green for the game-high in that category. That's pretty impressive considering Green's all-around ability to impact a game.
Barnes pulled down nine rebounds and dished out three assists, in addition to his two 3-pointers, over 24 minutes off the bench. Barnes has averaged 5.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game in his first eight with Golden State.
"He doesn't have to make shots to be effective," coach Steve Kerr said.
Stephen Curry concurred.
"The way Matt's kind of infused himself into our lineup on both ends of the floor has been amazing," Curry said. "He looks like he's been here all year, just with the flow that he brings, moving the ball (and) the versatility that he has on the defensive end, guarding different positions."
Thompson added that he admires Barnes, a 16-year veteran, for his longevity in the league.
"He plays with great energy and moves so well for being 37 years old," Thompson said. "I hope to be like that when I'm his age."
