text: Claiming roots that date back to California's earliest days, Brentwood thrived for decades as an agricultural center. While residences began to replace farmland by the 1980s, agriculture remains as a vital presence in the rapidly expanding community. Several large East Bay business parks are within an easy commute of Brentwood, including the Sandia and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories and the Port of Stockton transportation hub. Highway 4 passes through Brentwood, BART stations are just minutes from home, and Vasco Road now links the town to the Interstate 580 corridor and the neighboring cities of Livermore, Tracy, Pleasanton, and Dublin. The proximity to the California Delta provides a vast network of prime waterways for exceptional fishing, boating, and water sports. The Marsh Creek Trail links the community to outstanding regional parks like Black Diamond Mines, Mt. Diablo State Park, Big Break Wetlands Area, and Contra Loma Regional Parks. Closer to home, city parks offer playgrounds, open green space, picnic areas, and athletic facilities.

Two specialized membranes, both of which are phospholipid bilayers, encircle each mitochondrion present in a cell. These membranes effectively compartmentalize the organelle into a narrow intermembrane space and a much larger internal matrix, and each contains a distinctive array of proteins that are associated with their functions. The outer membrane of a mitochondrion, which acts similar to a sieve, includes numerous copies of the channel-forming protein porin and is impenetrable to molecules greater than 5000 Daltons in size. Most of the molecules that are small enough to pass through the outer membrane are impeded by the more-selective inner membrane that is typically highly convoluted so that a large number of infoldings called cristae are formed. The inner membrane contains an array of transport proteins that render it selectively permeable to molecules that need to move into and out of the matrix, and also possesses a large amount of the phospholipid cardiolipin, which makes the lipid bilayer particularly difficult for ions to penetrate. In addition, proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane are essential for oxidation reactions and the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the internal matrix.
Applying a collection of popular mitochondrial, actin, and DNA probes, the culture of APM cells presented above was grown to log phase, treated with MitoTracker Red CMXRos before fixing, and then labeled with phalloidin and Hoechst 33258 after permeabilization. The red fluorescence arises from the mitochondrial dye (MitoTracker), while the phalloidin was conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 to generate green fluorescence. Nuclei are rendered in light blue. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Presentation Abstract
The problem of cybercrime is increasingly complex and distributed across the world. Computer users face a broad range of threats, from malicious software that damages computer systems to identity theft and phishing. Though technical explorations provide insight into how to defend against these crimes, there is still a great deal that is unknown about the social world of hackers. Thus, this talk will provide an exploration of the motives, practices and relationships of computer hackers around the world using real world examples.
The presentation will examine the disparate communities involved in the creation and distribution of hacker tools and the norms and values of the computer underground globally. In addition, this presentation will explore the social networks, demographic characteristics, and skills of the members of eight groups from the Eastern European and Russian hacker community using open source data, including social networking sites where they detail their personal lives, interests, and activities. The findings give significant insight into the nature of this community, including technical and university training, physical locations, and social relationships between hackers and malware writers. The network ties between skilled and unskilled hackers are explored in depth, along with ways to proactively identify the most skilled hackers using simple blog content. This presentation will benefit computer security professionals, law enforcement, and the intelligence community by identifying the social dynamics that shape the Russian hacker community.

Hurting my neck watching this, to be honest. Genuinely crap goal coming out of nothing whatsoever and aided by non-existent and half-arsed marking - but Armenia offering precisely nothing beyond aimless crosses and desperate shies from distance. Finally starting to take some risks going forward now, so a bit of late drama due

Hate International qualifying from an England point of view. No doubt will consist of a few scrappy away wins against the bigger sides in the group, the steam rollering of the smaller ones, a lot of moaning about Capello, and all of it culminating in the inevitable "this is the best side since 1966". Will keep a keen eye on Scotland though, their progress (or lack thereof) usually makes for entertaining viewing.
I'm kinda hoping Wales get a distant second to England and then get through the play-offs.
Scotland are there for comedy value.
Ireland for narrow heartbreaking failure value.

LawNearMe.com is the first website to allow a consumer to search, compare and then book a consultation instantly online with the attorney best suited for their needs. LawNearMe.com launched this past summer with a mission to modernize the legal process.
LawNearMe.com was founded by Samuel Shusterhoff, an attorney, with the mission to improve and modernize consumer's access to legal assistance. After repeatedly hearing stories of how difficult it was for people to connect with the right lawyer, Shusterhoff decided that there had to be an easier way.
This lead to the creation of LawNearMe.com. Shusterhoff wanted to ensure that the website was not only easy to use, but provided all the best information one would need in their search for a lawyer. Each attorney's profile page includes biographic information, reviews, attorney fees, and more. These details allow for the most optimum matching of clients with the properly qualified attorney.

By Bob Burnett, Huffington Post, March 9, 2012 —
Oil prices are escalating and Americans soon may pay $5 for a gallon of gasoline. This grim fact has not escaped the notice of politicians. America's latest energy crisis has prompted heated rhetoric from Republicans and Democrats. Here are four lies that have been bandied about.
1. The gas crisis is President Obama's fault. In the 2012 presidential campaign, Republicans planned to run on the economy, but it's been improving. They turned to cultural issues such as contraception, but gained no traction. Now some GOP candidates are seeing rising gas prices as their opportunity. Recently, the chair of the Republican National Committee wrote, "Thanks to the president, America is running on empty."
Most Americans don't hold President Obama responsible for rising gas prices. A new Washington Post poll spread the blame around: 18 percent of respondents blamed President Obama, 14 percent the oil companies, 11 percent "Iran/Middle East," a whopping 38 percent cited other reasons, and 24 percent didn't know who to blame for rising prices.
The United States doesn't lack energy, in general, but we don't have enough oil. That's the economic "elephant" in the room, the genesis of our gas woes. The world's largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia, has reserves of 260B barrels and produces 10M each year; 2M barrels go to the US. The world's most desperate energy consumer, China, has oil reserves of 20B barrels, produces 4M each year, and consumes 8M. The United States has oil reserves of 19B barrels [1.4 percent of the world total], produces 9M each year, and consumes 19M barrels.
There are many theories about why gas prices have risen, but the most logical explanation was voiced by Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein: Americans are caught in an economic vise between the world's largest oil producer, Saudi Arabia, which holds exports steady to keep the price up, and the world's most desperate consumer, China, which has no choice but to buy oil at whatever the price is. China's demand is driving world gasoline prices up and the US is suffering.
2. President Obama hasn't done anything to increase America's energy supply. Republicans claim the president has no energy policy and that's the reason for the gas crisis.
On March 7th President Obama spoke about his energy strategy:
" If we are going to control our energy future, then we've got to have an all-of-the-above strategy. We've got to develop every source of American energy — not just oil and gas, but wind power and solar power, nuclear power, biofuels. We need to invest in the technology that will help us use less oil in our cars and our trucks, in our buildings, in our factories. That's the only solution to the challenge. Because as we start using less, that lowers the demand, prices come down… Since I took office, America's dependence on foreign oil has gone down every single year. In fact, in 2010, it went under 50 percent for the first time in 13 years."
On February 7th, Bloomberg News reported, "The U.S. is the closest it has been in almost 20 years to achieving energy self-sufficiency… Domestic oil output is the highest in eight years…" Republicans refuse to acknowledge the truth: America has energy, in general, but not enough oil.
3. The president hasn't done enough to bring new petroleum resources on line: Republicans chant "Drill, baby, drill." Recently, Mitt Romney said. "Obama should do more to open up domestic sites for drilling, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska." None of these suggestions would remedy soaring gasoline prices. For example, if the decision was made to drill in ANWR it would take 10 years before this oil reached our pumps and then it would only slightly diminish our need to import oil. Republicans refuse to acknowledge the obvious: America doesn't have enough oil and must turn to alternatives.
Many believe the solution is to increase our use of natural gas. America has humongous natural gas deposits that lie within shale. The largest is the Marcellus shale deposit running from West Virginia to upstate New York; it's thought to hold a one-hundred-year supply of natural gas. The technique used to access the natural gas is hydraulic fracturing ('fracking"): a deep hole is drilled, an explosion is set off, special solvents are injected, and the embedded gas is liberated and floats into holding containers. (While this process has produced large amounts of natural gas, it has disturbing environmental consequences. Fracking has damaged communities, polluting their drinking water and their streams and rivers: "On New Year's Eve a 4.0 magnitude earthquake in Youngstown, Ohio, was blamed on the injection of high-pressure fracking water along a seismic fault.")
4. The president has exaggerated the environmental consequences of an all-of-the-above energy strategy. Republicans claim President Obama doesn't have an effective energy strategy because he's beholden to environmentalists.
The reality is that Republicans have no energy strategy because they are beholden to the oil and gas industry. Since 1990 oil and gas companies have contributed $238.7 million to candidates and parties and 75 percent has gone to Republicans — a higher percentage this year. It's not "drill, baby, drill," it's "money, baby, money."

Finally. Thanks a lot.
Anyway, kind of sad moment when Saki remembered that time with Shun on the boat and started crying. It feels like the story's trying to push her and Satoru together but she doesn't really want that. It's kind of tragic....
On another note, I was surprised Shun was able to remember his mantra. He's clearly on a level of his own, way above the others. It's kinda frightening actually, and it makes me worry for him: too much power is never a good thing...
As for the preview for next episode.

This is one case where I kept thinking the episode had gone on long enough to be over...but then was very happy to realize it was continuing.
Personally, I'm happy to be back in human territory. I'm not a huge fan of the "adventures with animals" part of the show. It didn't have enough future weirdness for me. Of course, this coming stage may be the most dangerous of all. Will they get back to where they have their mantras written? Anyway, with 17 episodes to go, a lot can happen.
The sudden safety seemed a bit rushed near the end, but I guess it emphasized that the big guy was a friendly -- even if Squeerat was too tricky to trust.

Very nice and satisfying conclusion to "Saki and Satoru's Excellent Adventure". It was a rather intense episode that did a good job of keeping me on the edge of my seat.
That being said, I'm glad that this arc is now over, because my main curiosity now is seeing how the five kids are treated with them back in their village. Clearly, they're going to be allowed to live, but it'll probably be interesting to see what the adults try to do to them to regain control over them... I'm also curious to see any future scenes between Saki and her parents. I imagine that's going to be awfully awkward...
Saki clearly loves Shun, and it was a touching scene when she thought back to their boat-trip together.

Nice episode...and saki is wavered between shun and satoru...the problem is now the adult for sure will be having an even closer watch upon them and that spell trouble..
Anyway...next episode is the first time skip and most likely the beginning of the chaos saki told about in the naration that cause by maria? in few episode back i guess?
P.S : satoru cater to both side...(sexually)....heh...and the aggressive side too

Not as bad as the 5th episode, and better than the 6th, and in no way as good as the first four episodes... still there are some derping moments... skipping (I guess) how that tall wolf-rat turned from a predator to savior, instantly meeting with Mamoru, Maria and Shun... and evil 3D

Well, by this point I have been unwillingly spoiled on some (minor but relevant to romance) details so I am gonna stay off the shipping wars. It's kinda dumb to fight over who loves who in basically a bunch of close friends in a society where skinship is the norm anyway. It was always obvious that Saki loved Shun too. It was in fact a genuine surprise to me as an anime only viewer that Satoru and Saki were in such good terms (best friends who reveal mantras to each other etc.) o_o I would have thought Saki just found Satoru annoying if it weren't for the last few episodes (and the novel comparisons rampant everywhere - I don't think it's spoiling anything to talk about what I learned about stuff that the anime has been through so not spoiler tagging this).
But yeah, nice little touch with that scene. I still think Shun isn't trustworthy but I like how prepared the guy is so what gives. Mnemonics to make sure your mantra comes back eh. That should be mandatory PK education once these kids change the system (if ever) imo lol.
The humans in the village can't kill them so it would have to be some monster or some other but as long as they have their powers and stay together, monsters can't really kill them either. They're relatively safe in terms of physical safety but they should be in for a social and psychological hell.

The scene transitions using a huge amount of black outs (I don't know if that's the proper term, I'm not familiar with post-production scene changing terminologies ) and rushed ending didn't led to a fully enjoyable viewing experience. Still better than the last three episodes but nowhere near the quality of the first four episodes.
Ah well next week the time skip will happen, looks like Satoru after two years of venting up that sexual frustration will try and Bonobo it with Shun who rejects him. Luckily for those cases a man has the emergency right hand option. Hopefully the show will go back to the quality of the first four episodes.
Also am I the only who likes the child chorus track, I almost consider it as an opening song for this show.

I'm also worried about the narrative at this point. I wanted to give it a few more episodes, but there are some serious gaps in time that make some scenes play out strangely. A good example is the canoe scene. They were so worried about him killing them, and then it just jumps to the next scene and everything is fine. In a show about characters, this just seems like a really strange thing - shouldn't we at least get an explanation as to why he didn't follow through? Or is this one of those "implied" things you see often in Japanese stories where the audience is supposed to just "get" what is going on due to something impressed upon earlier? For example, maybe he spared them because they saved his life? Dunno though, because no one mentions it. Not even Squealer, who seems to be acting like he's not telling the kids something when they reunite at the shoreline of the river. Another example, the opening. LSD trip out of nowhere, not explained at all, and it really just felt like an excuse to give Satoru his powers back.
Don't get me wrong, I still find every episode incredibly engrossing, and the time flies by, but the choppiness of the narrative bothers me. Even if they do cover most or all of the novel's key points, it just feels like something is missing, sometimes.
This isn't meant to compare the novel and anime, but rather I'm just putting my opinion out there that the anime's plot "flow" just doesn't seem all that smooth. Kazu used this phrase earlier, but it feels like the plot is pushing the characters and not the other way around.

It was a good episode nonetheless, but I too am glad we are back to the village. The atmosphere there has always been far more riveting and oppressing. The ending narration alone made me feel like we're finally back to the mood of the first four episodes. Very foreboding...
I didn't expect the timeskip to happen so soon. Shun looks like a total bishie now. I can't blame Satoru for wanting to bonobo it up with him. I can't wait to see how the recent incident changed their lives.

With a click of a mouse, people in New Bern can now inventory their household items to help track them down if they are every stolen, or follow nearly real-time crime in the community.
With a click of a mouse, people in New Bern can now inventory their household items to help track them down if they are every stolen, or follow nearly real-time crime in the community.
New Bern Police Det. Adam Sneeden gave New Bern aldermen a presentation on the latest technology the police department has, websites called Leads Online, ReportIt Online and Raids Online.
Leads Online, is an online inventory reporting system for businesses, and Raids Online is an online mapping database that shows where crimes are occurring in the city, Sneeden said.
New Bern police set up the Leads Online recently with city pawn shops to better track any stolen property that someone might try to sell.
�The first day we started receiving reports,� Sneeden said.
The police department was able to recover a generator in Jones County, a Kindle in Wilmington and a number of jewelry items through Leads Online, Sneeden said.
�It is a very successful program so far,� he said.
Now anyone in the city limits of New Berncan upload pictures of their items, like televisions, jewelry and valuables along with serial numbers and post them on ReportIt Online, which is on the Leads Online webpage. All of the information is private on a secured site and cannot be shared and the service is free, Sneeden said.
Raids Online allows people to pull up a map of the community and see where crimes have occurred. That information is updated every day at 9 a.m. and the map has icons showing the different crimes committed, Sneeden said.
All of the information is public and is the same a person could get at the police station through crime reports. But the last two numbers on addresses are deleted. Also addresses are not given on sexual abuse crimes, Sneeden said.
The crime areas on the maps are defaulted after a two-week period.
People can now also sign up for email crime alerts within a 5 mile radius. But they would have to go to the Raids Online website to see where the crime occurred, Sneeden said.
Police Chief Toussaint Summers said the technology is a valuable tool for the community.
�It could be very important for neighborhood watches,� he said.
Sneeden said other cities providing the technology and information include Greenville, Pitt County, Raleigh and Durham. The police department is also hoping Craven County participates.
Alderman Denny Bucher said that in today�s world people need to be more aware of what is happening around them and report anything suspicious, alluding to the recent Boston tragedy.
�In this country we are much too trusting,� he said.

By the way Chris, when I was in West Register house on Tuesday they told me they will be shut between Christmas and the New Year as well as the standard public holidays. I believe the Historic search room is open as usual and you can still order documents to there. I can't see anything on the NAS website so thought I would let you know. Thanks for all the updates; they are really helpful.

Note: Due to variations in manufacturing and computer monitor displays, colors may vary.
Availability: In stock
It's HOT outside and this item is Temperature Sensitive, which means that it requires special packaging to guarantee it arrives to you in good condition. When you order this product we add ice & insulation packaging to your order (once per order) and default shipping to 2nd Day Air. If you remove the 2nd Day shipping at checkout we cannot guarantee your product will arrive safely. Also note that if you have meltable items we may delay shipping for a few days to ensure that it does not sit in a hot shipper warehouse for the weekend. If you need it shipped right away, please contact us.
At Bulk Candy Store, we know how important it is that your product arrives safely and in good condition. We would love it if you could all just come pick up your items, however that is just not possible. That's why we've developed a warm weather guarantee. Most online candy stores will not guarantee meltable products, but we will - if you follow our warm weather policies and your items arrive melted we'll ask you to send us a photo and we will resend you the product. Here are the guidelines:
All of items that are meltable should all have a clear temperature sensitivity statement on their pages, so you know what you're getting into (if you see one we missed, please let us know!).
If you add a meltable item to your cart, we automatically add special packing materials and ice packs.
During really hot times of the year, when you check out, FedEx 2 Day will automatically be chosen. If you switch to a slower or non-guaranteed shipping option (such as FedEx Home Delivery/Ground or USPS Priority Mail), we cannot guarantee your product will arrive safely.
You must ship to an address where someone can receive the delivery immediately (you cannot blame us if something sits on your porch for 8 hours!) Again, If you follow these guidelines, we will guarantee your meltable products arrive safely.
We understand that this is an extra cost for you; however, rest assured that this is not a profit center for us. The fact is that ice packs can only go so far!
If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to contact us at: [email protected] or phone us during regular business hours ( 9-5/ M-F /EST) at 561-540-1600.

Tax-related email:
Market Commentary - 5.2.13
There is a common trading proverb that warns investors to annually sell their stocks in May, in order to avoid summer market weakness, and repurchase in November. With April coming to an end, we want to examine this market adage for accuracy and, if proven true, discuss ways to minimize its effect on investment portfolios. Let's start with the facts about this strategy, referred to by most investors as "sell in May and go away." Over the long term, excluding dividends, the average return of the S&P 500 between May 1st and October 31st has underperformed the average return of this same index between November 1st and April 30th. In the table below, you can see the sizeable difference in average returns during those time periods since 1957 and in the most recent ten-year period.
Source: S&P 500; St. Louis Federal Reserve; Cetera Research; Data as of 4/30/2013
Though there is no specific cause of this discrepancy in market performance, some believe it is the combination of lower summer trading volumes due to vacations, summer portfolio window dressing by money managers, and the annual concerns about third-quarter earnings prospects. Given this performance phenomenon, the most logical strategy might be to completely sell out of equities in May and purchase in November. However, there are limitations to implementing this strategy, such as the additional transaction costs and tax implications of the rotation into and out of equities. Another drawback is that market timing and seasonality strategies do not always work out. For example, in 2007 and 2009, the May 1st to October 31st time period outperformed the post-summer period (November to the following April) by double digits. Therefore, if you move your portfolio entirely into cash and the strategy backfires, gains may be missed. Given the fact that this "sell in May and go away" strategy does not always work and may increase transaction costs and raise tax implications, how should investors position their portfolios? First and foremost, we do not anticipate a sharp market decline. Instead, as we have noted in past commentaries, we expect increased volatility and some possible modest near-term weakness. Equity markets do not move straight up, but are instead characterized by occasional consolidation phases (i.e. short rests or minor pullbacks). Given that U.S. equities have returned all of the losses they generated during the 2008 financial crisis and headwinds persist (weak global economic growth, increased geo-political risks, and mediocre corporate earnings), a minor pullback might be in store. On the other hand, positive tailwinds (improving housing market, low interest rates, and not too expensive equity valuations) may support equity prices. These conflicting signals continue to lead us to believe sharp declines are not necessarily in store. Instead a minor pullback with significant market volatility is the most likely outcome this summer. With equity markets likely to face both headwinds and tailwinds and gyrate accordingly to the news du jour, we remain steadfast in our recommendations. We continue to maintain a neutral market position, or in other words, do not be too aggressive or too conservative in overall portfolio positioning. While we continue to suggest equity allocations in-line with investment objectives, within equities we are biased toward domestic equities and larger capitalization companies. Throughout the portfolios, we continue to stress income via dividends or spread product (non-U.S. Treasury fixed income), which may help to mitigate some market volatility, and increased diversification.

Yaroslav Trofimov's article in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal explains how Ghulam Yahya, a former anti-Taliban, Tajik miltia leader from Herat, became an insurgent. The short answer: because the American master plan in Afghanistan required the retirement of warlords. The trouble is that in much of Afghanistan "warlord" is a synonym for "local government." Attacking local authority structures is a good way to make enemies. So it went in Herat. Having been fired from a government post, Ghulum Yahya turned his militia against Kabul and now fires rockets at foreign troops, kidnaps their contractors, and brags of welcoming foreign jihadists. Herat turned redder on the color-coded maps of the "Taliban" insurgency.
That story reminded me of C.J. Chivers's close-in accounts of firefights he witnessed last spring with an army platoon in Afghanistan's Korangal Valley. According to Chivers, the Taliban there revolted in part because the Afghan government shut down their timber business. That is an odd reason for us to fight them.
One of the perversions of the branch of technocratic idealism that we now call counterinsurgency doctrine is its hostility to local authority structures. As articulated on TV by people like General Stanley McChrystal, counterinsurgency is a kind of one-size-fits-all endeavor. You chase off the insurgents, protect the people, and thus provide room for the central government and its foreign backers to provide services, which win the people to the government. The people then turn against the insurgency. This makes sense, I suppose, for relatively strong central states facing insurgencies, like India, the Philippines or Colombia.
But where the central state is dysfunctional and essentially foreign to the region being pacified, this model may not fit. Certainly it does not describe the tactic of buying off Sunni sheiks in Anbar province Iraq (a move pioneered by Saddam Hussein, not David Petraeus, by the way). It is even less applicable to the amalgam of fiefdoms labeled on our maps as Afghanistan. From what I can tell, power in much of Afghanistan is really held by headmen — warlords — who control enough men with guns to collect some protection taxes and run the local show. The western idea of government says the central state should replace these mini-states, but that only makes sense as a war strategy if their aims are contrary to ours, which is only the case if they are trying to overthrow the central government or hosting terrorists that go abroad to attack Americans. Few warlords meet those criteria. The way to "pacify" the other areas is to leave them alone. Doing otherwise stirs up needless trouble; it makes us more the revolutionary than the counter-revolutionary.
On a related note, I see John Nagl attacking George Will for not getting counterinsurgency doctrine. Insofar as Will seems to understand, unlike Nagl, that counterinsurgency doctrine is a set of best practices that allow more competent execution of foolish endeavors, this is unsurprising. More interesting is Nagl's statement that we, the United States have not "properly resourced" the Afghan forces. Nagl does not mention that the United States is already committed to building the Afghan security forces (which are, incidentally, not ours) to a size – roughly 450,000 – that will annually cost about 500% of Afghanistan's budget (Rory's Stewart's calculation), which is another way of saying we will be paying for these forces for the foreseeable future.
It probably goes too far to say this war has become a self-licking ice-cream cone where we create both the enemy and the forces to fight them, but it's a possibility worth considering.

CLOTTS, VT—The residents of Clotts have been getting quite an education in foreign cultures since the recent arrival of immigrant Nigel Edney, a real live Cockney from London, England. And with a colorful accent and a nimble wit to match, this tenacious teabag is fast capturing the hearts of his new neighbors.
"'Elp, 'elp, me 'ouse is on fire!" Edney told the neighbors and members of the news media who had gathered to watch the plucky little gent in his latest misadventure. "I think it started in the gare-age! Please, ring up the fire brigade, me wife and baby grandchild are in 'ere!"
The native population of England, known as the "British," are diverse in class and income, but the most lovable of all is the Cockney, a lower-class Londoner. Known as a drinker and carouser, and frequently out of work, the Cockney greets the world with a smile and a saucy wink, for he knows that life is but an elaborate charade.
That irreverent yet exuberant attitude was well evident as Edney ran about on his stout little legs and waved his stumpy arms frantically.
"Oh, God, 'elp me!" Edney shouted to his neighbors, who couldn't help but chuckle at Edney's beet-red expression. "Edna and the li'l lad is in 'at 'ouse! For the love of God, I'm begging you! 'Ey're goin' t'die in 'ere if somebody don't come 'elp!"
"He's just so cute!" said Harriet Gustafson, one of many charmed neighbors. "He has a little ruddy face and wears his little tweed cap cocked to one side. Just like Andy Capp!"
Not surprisingly, Edney's newfound American friends sometimes have a bit of trouble understanding just what the funny fellow is saying. Just last week, Edney complained to his landlord that the "telly" that came with his "bed-sit" sometimes shot off "sparks" and at one point caused his "drapes" to "smolder."
"I still can't figure out what he meant," shrugged Delmore Properties president Jim Delmore. "He just talks so crazy!"
But even if he doesn't always make himself understood, Edney's hardly one to let that stop him: "'Ere, give us a 'and with this 'ose! No, the 'ose, the 'ose! Oh, dear God, the smoke is just too thick! Oh, poor Edna! And li'l Timmy! 'Elp! Fire! For the love of God—firemen, please 'urry!"
"Look at him," neighbor Nancy Marcus cooed. "With his face all covered in soot and ash, he looks just like one of those chimneysweeps from Mary Poppins!"
But, as always, Edney is ever ready with a snappy answer. "'Elp! 'Urry! You sodding, rotten, bloody, uncaring bastards! Rot, I say! Rot in 'ell, the whole bloody stinkin' lot of you!"

Michael A. Belfort, M.D., Ph.D., an internationally recognized expert in maternal-fetal medicine and fetal intervention, has been named Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine and Obstetrician and Gynecologist-in-Chief at Texas Children's Hospital. Belfort's appointment is effective Jan. 1, 2011.
Belfort will be instrumental in shaping a new era at Texas Children's as it enters the final year of construction on its $575 million maternity facility and expands into obstetrical and gynecological care to establish one of the nation's premier centers for women's, fetal and newborn health. With nearly three decades of practice focused on obstetrics, gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine, Belfort most recently served as director of Perinatal Research, Fetal Therapy and Obstetric Telemedicine at HCA Healthcare in Nashville, TN and as a professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Utah School of Medicine. An accomplished researcher and educator, Belfort will continue his focus on maternal and fetal medicine research at BCM, as well as expand the College's current research initiatives. He will direct the College's well-established medical education program and grow the areas of specialty training.
"Dr. Belfort's outstanding medical achievements and his passion for the care of mothers and their unborn children make him an exemplary choice to help Texas Children's achieve its vision of offering a full continuum of care to women and babies," said Mark A. Wallace, president and CEO of Texas Children's.
At BCM, Belfort will lead a distinguished academic department encompassing the full range of obstetric and gynecologic practice, an active research enterprise and growing medical education program with 55 faculty, 48 residents, three medical board approved fellowships and more than $2 million in National Institutes of Health funding. He will oversee and expand the College's programs at Ben Taub General Hospital and the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center, in addition to the Texas Children's program. Belfort succeeds Dr. Dale Brown, Jr., who served as interim chair at BCM and as Texas Children's first Obstetrician-in-Chief since 2006.
This appointment marks Belfort's return to the College and to Houston. From 1994 through 1997 he served as director of labor and delivery and as director of obstetric intensive care at Ben Taub General Hospital, as well as an associate professor in the divisions of maternal-fetal medicine, hypertension and anesthesiology at BCM. His teaching experience also includes serving as an adjunct clinical professor at Yale University School of Medicine where he worked with Yale faculty in the development of their Fetal Intervention Program.
"Dr. Belfort will play an important role in expanding our research efforts and our medical training program in obstetrics and gynecology," said Dr. Paul Klotman, president and CEO of BCM. "He is well-known as an exceptional educator and will be an outstanding leader for our trainees."
A native of South Africa, Belfort received his medical degree (MBBCH) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, a Doctorate in Medicine (MD) at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and his Ph.D. at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He completed two residencies in obstetrics and gynecology (one in Cape Town and one at BCM), trained in anesthesiology in South Africa, and did his fellowship in maternal fetal medicine at BCM.
Belfort is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and maternal-fetal medicine by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He also holds obstetrics and gynecology specialist qualifications in South Africa, the United Kingdom and Canada. He has received numerous professional awards for his contributions to research, teaching and medical practice. Belfort has been an active member of professional societies all over the world and has written more than 175 scientific articles and textbook chapters, as well as presented more than 350 abstracts and poster presentations. He is an author/editor of several textbooks, including "Hypertension in Pregnancy," "Obstetric Clinical Algorithms, Preeclampsia" and "Critical Care Obstetrics."
"I look forward to being part of this exciting new era at Texas Children's and to working with so many distinguished colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine and throughout the Houston community. It is a privilege to be part of this visionary program for women, fetal and newborn healthcare," said Belfort. "I am honored to follow Dr. Dale Brown, who was integral in placing us on this bold path to the future."
Upon opening in 2011, the Texas Children's new facility will offer women a complete range of obstetric and gynecologic services, focusing on family-centered maternity care, beginning before conception and continuing after delivery, and on high-risk births. Within a beautiful and soothing setting, the facility will have a 90-bed capacity and be able to accommodate more than 5,000 births per year. The building will include the advanced care of Level II and Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) with private rooms, Texas Children's Fetal Center, a state-of-the-art family fertility program offering assisted reproduction services, as well as BCM and private practice medical offices. It will connect to the hospital's current pediatric care facilities, West Tower and Clinical Care Center, via an iconic circular sky bridge.

With Thanksgiving coming up, I think it would be in order for me to list few things for which I am thankful.
With Thanksgiving coming up, I think it would be in order for me to list few things for which I am thankful. Here they are:
I am thankful for people who wait in line like they are supposed to, especially when it comes to traffic. I have recently made several trips to the Southwest area from my Jacksonville home and had to cross the bridge over New River during rush hour; each time I have been in line, at least two cars have sped up in the adjoining lane past all of the patient and decent people who are waiting their turns in order to force their ways into the front of the line. Never mind that it�s selfish, childish, dangerous and narcissistic: They don�t care. They�re nothing but bullies with cars.
I�m thankful that I have finally put social media into its rightful context in my life: It�s as pleasurable as drinking a cup of hot water, and about as illuminating. I have killed off my Twitter and LinkedIn accounts and stopping blogging, which I did poorly and only occasionally, anyway. It�s all like so much noise in the universe. I have a Facebook account, but I don�t participate much. Some people post a lot, some a little. Fortunately, hardly anything that appears there is so earth shattering that I can�t miss it. Thus checking in a couple of times a week for 15 minutes seems to work. And I can keep up with my friends from high school on FB or, otherwise, I�d be out of there, too.
I�m thankful that I don�t mind looking my age. Well, okay, that�s a lie. I would like to look like the women in the noxious Debbie Boone commercial where, with the aid of a smile, make-up, good hairdresser, better angle, Photoshop and a form of expensive plastic surgery, all of these women look much better than their �Before� pictures. But I�m not going to pay anyone to make me look younger because a) I can�t stand Debbie Boone, b) I�m cheap, c) It doesn�t always work and I�m a chicken when it comes to cosmetic procedures and d) I figure you have to keep doing it and you�re going to look ridiculous when you hit 80 and you have trout lips.
I�m thankful that the Daily News gives me the gift of this column. Where else could I have expressed my often screwy opinions for years and met so many kind and interesting people? Yeah, you don�t always agree with me � I have had my share of �Lady you be dumber than a rock� letters and emails over the years, but mostly I get intelligent and thoughtful disagreement, an occasional correction or a little nudge � as well as some just plain nice thoughts shared � from the people in Onslow and Carteret counties. Makes me realize how smart I was to settle here more years ago than I care to discuss in public without a Debbie Boone-inspired facelift.
Here�s hoping everyone who reads my column has a Thanksgiving that is filled with inspiration, joy and good drivers. The rest of you are on your own.
