|How can you defeat such a man?
1. Hispanic Mexican
In a taxi in Florida.
Taxi Driver: Where ya from bro?
Salaryman: I came from Japan now since I live there, but I'm from Sweden
Taxi Driver: (surprised) No shit? You look Mexican man!
Salaryman: (surprised in turn and not sure on how to take that) Huh? Mexican? Never heard that before, really?
Taxi Driver: (enthusiastic) Yeah, for real, you should go there, you'd fit right in!
Salaryman: Well, maybe I will, maybe I will...
(Note: I've never been to Mexico but if I do, I am curious as to whether I will "fit just in" or not)
2. Arab
In Japan many years ago my Japanese Aunt told me that I should shave the beard of because "It makes you look Turkish and there's been a string of robberies recently by Turks so you should shave it off!". I laughed it off and said that I've never been mistaken for Turkish or Arab ever so I won't.
Two days later at the airport terminal, waiting for the bus back home, in Sweden when I just had returned.
Elderly Arab man looking at me: (...)
Salaryman: (wondering why the man is looking at me but not really caring that much)
Arab Man: (walking towards me and stopping right by me, in broken Swedish) Excuse me young man, do you speak Arabic?
Salaryman: (surprised) Eh... No?
Arab Man: (disappointed, before walking away) I see, sorry.
3. Italian
During a business dinner with an senior Italian colleague in France, discussing people from our Swedish office with a group of people
Italian VP: (loudly) These Swedes are so dull and slow, they never show any emotion!
Salaryman: (focusing on the food)
Italian VP: (pointing at me) But you! Not you! You are like Italian, you look Italian!
Salaryman: (wakes up) Huh? I do?
Italian VP: (excitedly) Yes! You do! And you have body language like Italian (flailing wildly with arms) most Swedes are so dull (mimics someone sitting with the arms tight to the body and laughing heavily at his own imitation of a dull Swede), you are ok!
Salaryman: (having trouble coming to terms with the double insult of insulting Swedes and the labelling of me as "Italian like") Oh, ok, thanks I guess
Italian VP: (throwing arms up in the air) Yes, haha! (feeling like he's given me the best compliment in the world)
Big Bro: (tiredly) Yeah, ok, we're half-Japanese, if you don't mind we'd like to talk alone?
Bar Girl: (looking triumphant as she walks away) Ok! Sure!
5. White
Japanese Colleague: So you're mom is Japanese?
Salaryman: Yep
Japanese Colleague: (confused) That's so strange, I can't see it at all, you look just like a typical Swede to me...
Salaryman: (slightly amused) Really? You think so? You know, most Swedes don't have black hair like me?
Japanese Colleague: (still confused) yeah, I dunno, I just don't see it at all
...this is of course discounting all the guesses me and Mrs. Salaryman has received when we've travelled together. Most common guess we get is Singapore or Hong Kong (probably because our combined Asian looks and our speaking English).
Now, if I just can find a way to be mistaken for Black, Indian and Native American I think I've covered it all!

That's no good! I'll see what I can do about it!

In memory of: Dan Schoen, death penalty foe, criminal justice advocate
Dan Schoen, a familiar face at the state Capitol during death penalty debates and issues concerning justice, died Tuesday at age 45.
Schoen, the executive director of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, stormed out of committee hearing in March after Democrats helped kill a measure to abolish the death penalty. Two months later, he triumpantly waved his fist in the air as he read an order from Gov. John Hickenlooper announcing he had indefinitely delayed the execution of death row inmate Nathan Dunlap.
"Dan was a tireless fighter … ," Colorado Criminal Defense Bar President Sean McDermott said, in a statement.
"For the last three years, Dan has been the ever-beating heart to the CCDB. His tireless dedication to the health and wellbeing of our clients and members became a passion for him. His compassion and sense of justice was inspiring. We mourn him deeply and the loss to his loving family."
Schoen served as legislative director of the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association from 2008 to 2010, before becoming director of the CCDB.
The CCDB said Schoen died of "unfortunate but natural causes" but did not elaborate. He is survived by a wife and daughter. Services are pending.

7 p.m. So many great sessions. I guess I should be in Rabbi Jonathan Aaron's "Gossip is Called 'Evil Tongue' For A Reason" but instead choose Catalina Ballroom 2 for Rabbi Michael Melchior's lecture on conversion to Judaism in the 21st Century.
I sit in the second row. The room fills up. Maybe this Michael Melchior bloke is the superstar of LimmudLA 2010?
When he walks in, he's a worry. He's heavily stooped. His face is ashen. He says he's been traveling for 29 hours straight to get here from Israel. He doesn't look like he has the strength to climb to the platform let alone give a speech.
But once he gets rolling, he gets rolling. I'm mesmerized. He's hilarious and wise and fair. I'd follow this guy anywhere. He's my new hero.
Oy, but that stoop. Look at how tips his head back and compresses his neck. So much unnecessary tension there. His shoulders curve inward. His spine must be all mashed together. I could really help him with some Alexander Technique. Poor man. He'll have doctors and healers fussing over him all weekend. He's not going to listen to me. But I can help him more than anybody! And he can help me, he can be my new father figure. I'll confess to him my sins and he'll absolve me. He seems like an understanding bloke.

Republicans are more likely to place the blame for gun violence on video games, not guns, according to a recent poll from Public Policy Polling. Sixty seven percent of Republicans believe that such games are a "bigger safety threat" than firearms — only 14 percent think the reverse.
The only problem? There's no data to support that position. There is evidence that limiting access to guns can help limit violence wrought by those machines. In particular, there's evidence to show that the Assault Weapons Ban helped to limit gun violence on the Mexican-American border. And in states where gun ownership is high and gun laws are lax, violence rates are higher.
On the other hand, there's absolutely no conclusive evidence showing that video games are the root cause of violence. There are countries with much lower rates of violence that have much higher consumption of video games.

Mansfield With Monsters by Katherine Mansfield with Matt and Debbie Cowans
Steam Press $25
Matt and Debbie Cowans suggest that Katherine Mansfield was obsessed with the monstrous and the macabre and that such details were inexplicably deleted from her published stories. Mansfield With Monsters takes 17 stories by Mansfield and reveals the so-called original versions.
An endorsement by the master of horror, L.P. Lovecroft, who died in 1937, is featured on the cover: "These stories ... will establish one of the true pioneers of the macabre."
Two other academics (both alive) provide further endorsements that this book will expose Mansfield's work as "a breeding ground" for the macabre and the monstrous.
Published by Steam Press, that name gives you another clue to the genesis of this literary hoax.
Mansfield is being hijacked into the steampunk genre (or speculative fiction) where any combination of the supernatural, the Victorian era and new machinery or technologies is infected by rebellion or resistance. Fantasy meets horror meets science fiction meets revised history (not all ingredients necessary).
It is easy enough to spot the frail membrane of Mansfield's stories that might conceal the monstrous: the little fears, the recurrent dreads, the uncanny, the hysterical moments, the grotesque. In Woman At The Store, for example, Mansfield writes, "There's no twilight in our New Zealand days, but a curious half-hour when everything appears grotesque - it frightens."
Such a quote suggests Mansfield is ripe for the picking, but the key question is: does the authors' audacious risk pay off? Converting Mansfield into the monstrous will offend the purist, but what about the reader with a more flexible mind?
When I read Mansfield, I am drawn into a story that shimmers with detail, that provides a concentrated and lingering kernel of character, that builds deep atmosphere and intense states of mind within short narrative frames. There are delicious gaps to fill and I savour the understatement.
The authors leave much of her sentences intact but they fill her gaps with blood and gore, bloodsuckers, aliens, otherworld creatures, zombies; and they twist the detail here and there to summon the shocking.
You could say the authors have rebelled against Mansfield's subtle layers of dread and fear where you have to work things out for yourself, and provided instead a different reading experience. Stomach turning perhaps.
In Mansfield's Sun And Moon, two children observe the preparations for an extravagant dinner party where an ice pudding will be a spectacular centrepiece. They sneak out at night to spy on the guests and are later taken down to look at the aftermath by their father. The boy feels horror at the sight of the abandoned feast.
In the revised version, the ice pudding was once the castle of the children's "divine" parents. The final scene is still populated - the guests victims of the blood-hungry parents. Again the boy feels horror, but it will provoke a different reader reaction.
To me, the book feels like an idea with intriguing potential that never goes beyond the narrow constraints of an exercise. It diminishes the power of Mansfield and never reaches the magnificence of the great writers of speculative fiction (Kelly Link, for example). Perhaps Mansfield kept getting in the way.
Spookily, the ink on the page dissolved when I spilled my tea on it.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" director David Yates appears to have decided on who will play his vine-swinging lead in the upcoming re-imagining of "Tarzan".
"True Blood" star and 6'4″ hunk Alexander Skarsgard has emerged as the front runner for the role, ahead of both Henry Cavill and Charlie Hunnam who were linked last week. A formal offer has not been issued yet.
Skarsgard will slip into the role of John Clayton III (the Viscount Greystoke) who is asked by Queen Victoria to investigate a conflict in the Congo.
Samuel L. Jackson is reportedly in discussions to play Civil War veteran and former mercenary George Washington Williams. The pair team up with Clayton to stop an evil warlord.

The tropical storm plowing across the far side of the Gulf of Mexico could send oil skimmers back to port and make containment booms useless, even from some 500 miles away. But the rough weather also might give nature a hand in breaking down crude from the massive oil spill.
Forecasters expect Alex to grow to hurricane strength later Tuesday over the southwestern Gulf on track for the Texas-Mexico border region and away from the oil spill area off Louisiana. But it will blow waves and stormy winds all the way to the open Gulf, where BP PLC is working to cap and contain the oil, and the coastal waters tinged with crude.
The effects may be mixed.
IN PICTURES: Huge hurricanes in the past 20 years
Waves churned up by Alex — as high as 12 feet (3 1/2 meters) — could help break up the patches of oil scattered across the sea. The higher-than-normal winds that radiate far from the storm also could help the crude evaporate faster.
"The oil isn't in one solid sheet. It's all broken up into patches anyway. It will actually work to break those patches down," said Piers Chapman, chairman of the oceanography department at Texas A&M University.
But skimming vessels may be idled because they can't operate in such swells. Floating oil-containment booms could be rendered useless by waves slopping over them and may have to be pulled out of the water.
Pulling boats and crews off the water could cost precious time, said Nancy Kinner, co-director of the Coastal Response Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. Equipment has to be stripped down, packed and protected from the force of the storm, and then has to be reassembled and deployed again, she said.
But Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government's point man for the spill response, said the storm wasn't expected to affect two relief wells being drilled, considered the best hope of plugging the leak.
Even 12-foot (3 1/2-meter) waves aren't enough to stop the tanker that is sucking up large quantities of oil through the cap on the well, or a second vessel that is burning off hundreds of thousands of gallons at the surface, Allen said.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal also said Monday that the weather could push the oil farther into the ecologically delicate Barataria Bay, home to a diverse group of wildlife.
Other officials echoed that worry. Rough seas already have forced barges to leave their posts as a barrier against the oil near the bay.
"We've already lost over 68 days of decent weather and this is going to be an active hurricane season," Jefferson Parish Council Chairman John Young said Monday. "They're going to start coming yet there continues to be a lack of a sense of urgency."
For now, Alex is on track to make landfall with hurricane-force winds near the U.S.-Mexico border, possibly by Thursday.
"We are watching very, very closely," Allen said. "As it stands right now, absent the intervention of a hurricane, we're still looking at mid-August" for completing the relief well. Earlier Monday, a BP executive said the well would be done by early August.
All of the uncertainty of what Alex and other storms could do to BP's containment effort gave new urgency to the company's efforts to make its operations at the well as hurricane-resistant as possible.
The company said it hopes to install a new oil-capturing system by next week that would allow BP to disconnect the equipment faster if a hurricane threatens and hook it back up quickly after the storm passes. Right now, BP would need five days to pull out if there is a hurricane. The new system being developed, which uses a flexible hose, would cut that to two days.
The containment system now in place is capturing nearly 1 million gallons (3.8 million liters) per day from the well, which is spewing as much as 2.5 million gallons (9.5 million liters) a day, according to the government's worst-case estimate.

WASHINGTON — The House gave grudging approval on Tuesday to a plan to finance the federal government for three more weeks, even as dozens of Republicans broke with their leadership and opposed the stopgap legislation.
Congressional leaders said the measure, which imposes $6 billion in new spending cuts, would avert a government shutdown while giving Republicans and Democrats until April 8 to conclude a more sweeping budget deal to finance the government through Sept. 30.
"Our goal is to cut spending and keep the government open and meet our commitment to the American people to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington," Speaker John A. Boehner said.
Though the legislation had the strong support of Mr. Boehner and his top lieutenants, more than 50 members of the Republican rank-and-file opposed it, including 21 of the 87 Republican freshmen. The opponents said they were ready to force a showdown over spending cuts and accused Democrats of stalling a final resolution.
"While I believe reasonable minds can differ," said Representative Trey Gowdy, a freshman Republican from South Carolina, "I think my constituents want a quicker pace."Continue reading the main story
Representative Mike Pence, Republican of Indiana, put it bluntly: "It is time to pick a fight."
On the final vote of 271 to 158, 186 Republicans and 85 Democrats supported the budget extension; 54 Republicans and 104 Democrats opposed it.
The defections suggest that the House leadership could have difficulty selling a final budget compromise to its membership if the plan dips very far below the $61 billion in cuts approved by the House and does not contain policy restrictions on abortion, the new health care law and environmental rules that many House Republicans favor.
Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, the No. 2 House Democrat, said the number of Republicans who balked at the measure should lead top Republicans to seek a final compromise they can pass with votes from both Republicans and Democrats rather than try to produce the votes from their own ranks.
"We now see clearly that the problem that we have is the Republican majority does not agree with itself," Mr. Hoyer said.
Republicans and Democrats have so far held halting negotiations on the final level of spending cuts with little obvious progress, but talks have been occurring behind the scenes between House and Senate leaders.
At the White House, the spokesman, Jay Carney, said, "The short-term funding bill passed in the House of Representatives today gives Congress some breathing room to find consensus on a long-term measure that funds the government through the end of the fiscal year."
But Mr. Carney added that President Obama had made clear that "with the wide range of issues facing our nation, we cannot keep funding the government in two- or three-week increments."
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle joined the president in calling for the new stopgap measure to be the last of the temporary budget bills. Once Congress finishes this fight, it must immediately begin considering a budget and spending bills for the 2012 fiscal year. Lawmakers also face a serious clash over the administration's request to increase the federal debt limit.
"Let's pass this, move ahead and get this thing done," Representative Ander Crenshaw, Republican of Florida, said.
Republican supporters of the legislation urged their colleagues to approve one last interim measure. They noted that the bill cuts $6 billion in current spending on top of $4 billion in reductions imposed in the previous two-week budget bill that expires Friday.
"We will have cut over $10 billion in the span of two weeks," Representative Harold Rogers, the Kentucky Republican who is chairman of the Appropriations Committee, said. "That sets a record. That has never been done before in this body."
"Take 'yes' for an answer," said Representative Charlie Dent, Republican of Pennsylvania. "Don't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."
Senate leaders predicted that the Senate would approve the measure later this week despite mounting conservative resistance in that chamber as well.
Senator Orrin G. Hatch, a Utah Republican who could face a Republican challenge for re-election next year, announced on Tuesday that he would oppose the bill. "Enough is enough," Mr. Hatch said. "We need a long-term plan to force our government to live within its means, just like Utah families do."
The short-term measure saves $3.5 billion by eliminating 25 programs, including some the Obama administration had already proposed to end on its own. More than $2 billion is saved by reclaiming money set aside for local projects that will not be financed because of the Congressional ban on earmarks.
Republicans and Democrats traded blame for which side was most responsible for the muddled fiscal state of affairs. Republicans noted repeatedly that they inherited the problem from Democrats who did not pass a budget or the required spending bills last year; Democrats said Republicans were pushing unacceptable cuts.
Both sides agreed it was a mess.
"It's a terrible way to do business," said Representative James P. Moran, Democrat of Virginia.Continue reading the main story

Touring in Tenerife
Touring in Tenerife
We decided to stay all week in a half-board chalet on the north west coast in Playa de la Arena, so that we could keep our bikes safely inside at night and make our own food and packed lunches.
The north west is not as sunny as the more tourist-ridden south coast, but it is at the foot of a set of mountains. Prime cycling territory was just right outside our chalet door.
On the first day it poured with rain. So we decided to acquaint ourselves with the local bar. Warning: Spanish measures apply in Tenerife too!
The next day we had to fix the bent derailleur that was damaged when my bike was on the plane. The island has very few bike shops. In fact we could only locate three on Google maps, and one was more of a hire shop. We decided to tentatively ride down the west coast to a bike shop called Bike Point in Las Americas.
The staff were German, but spoke good English. They sent us down the road to the coffee shop and had our bike fixed by the time we had gulped a latte and returned. The prices were very reasonable too.
I also decided to swap my cassette for a mountain bike cassette complete with a 30 tooth cog, and boy was I glad I did. It even got used on the way home through undulating coastal roads.
The coastal roads
The coastal roads are well-used with similar traffic to a main road in England, even through 'siesta time', which is roughly between 11 am and 3pm. Most shops will shut down at this time, but supermarkets are often open a little longer.
Although the roads are busy, it is worth mentioning that most are wide enough for a bike and a car, much like in France if you've been. And similar to France, I found the road users to be extremely patient, not over-taking on corners and passing slowly with a lot of room to spare.
In the mountains, a cyclists' speed is considerably lower and sometimes visibility can be very limited if cloud sweeps in. I always had lights on hand and found them to be very valuable when it was foggy.
Being so steep, cars tend to move at quite a slow speed anyway, which gives motorists plenty of time to see around hair-pin corners.
Motor traffic was pretty minimal in the mountains anyway and drivers were very patient. I am a confident cyclist, but would happily take a new or young cyclist on the roads here.
Once we realised how smooth the main roads were and how cautious drivers seemed to be we decided to plan all our routes on main roads where possible.
Day two saw us venture out up a mountain with no real plan other than to see how far we could go in a day bearing in mind that we were likely to cover more ascending than an Alpine loop. The answer was not that far! We had travelled no more than 40km up to Santiago del Teide, but what a journey. An 'out and back' (or more like an 'up and down') journey gave more the opportunity to prepare myself for alpine descending as well as climbing, which actually relieved a lot of anxiety for me as it was no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be.
The following days I got a lot braver each time, resulting in a beautiful and exhausting route through Masca National Park, and culminating to a trip up to the volcano on Teide.
We started off at San Miguel, a little way up from the very bottom of the mountain, as we wanted free parking. Around 40km of pure ascending later, we arrived at a café surrounded by fiery coloured desert accented by green flecks of sulphur rock and a very prominent volcano. It was beautiful.
I, however, was not. Pouring with sweat, panting like mad and shivering from the sub-zero temperatures I piled into the café and ordered every cake on display. It had been an interesting ride.
We had passed through Vilaflor at siesta time in the fog, which resembled a desolate ghost town. We had ridden through the clouds twice, stopping on numerous occasions to dress and undress ourselves as temperatures dropped and rose again depending on the thickness of the cloud.
We had taken breaks in eerie burned-out forests and gazed out to sea at the other islands in the distance. I had a spot of altitude sickness, which strangely resulted in an uncontrollable laughing fit followed by a severe bout of grumpiness.
My legs were a mess and my body had had enough by the time it had reached the top. Despite the mere 40km distance travelled, it had taken over four hours to cover it. I have known extremely fast riders to tackle this in no less than three hours too, so I didn't feel to down about that time.
Five kilometres from the café I was ready to give up, and I wish I'd brought more clothing for the summit, but once I sat at that café window stuffing my face full of cake I looked out at the scenery and everything was worth it."
A few photos later and a mandatory check-in on Facebook and we were off back down the mountain.
We decided that the café was pretty much the top and that we didn't need to walk up to the crater in order to be proud of what we had achieved that day, so we suited up with maximum amount of clothes and embarked on a descent that would last an arm-burning hour. It was glorious.
The roads snaked around the edge of the mountain seemingly curved to perfection for riding. Cars were slowing down again, but this time to let us pass. It is by far the quickest way to get down a mountain.
The sun was starting to set, as we had cut it a little fine despite the early start, but everything the sun touched turned to gold. Honey roasted fields and glittering golden sea in the distance warmed my insides with a big smile as I started to get the hang of drop-bar descending.
By the end, my fingers were frozen into position and both of us couldn't wait to get into the warm again, but once the post-ride slump had passed and food was in our bellies, we both went to bed exhausted and very pleased with ourselves.
Tips and advice
I could have made this article about our routes and given you ideas to explore, but once you're out there, you'll realise that any road you choose will be a wonderful adventure.
If you decide you want to cycle loops and stay in the same place like we did, don't despair, there will definitely be a week's worth of riding, although I recommend hiring a car just in case you fancy tackling a really big mountain further afield, otherwise you might not make it home without a rather expensive taxi fee.
Should you wish to grasp an idea of potential routes, I thoroughly recommend visiting a website, like Tenerife Training.net, and copying their routes onto a map.
As daunting as it may seem to touring newcomers, you can genuinely head out in Tenerife without much planning and preparation. This is because there are so few roads and towns in the mountain that you can't really get that lost.
Having said that, whether you are covering loops from your hotel, or venturing out for a proper point-to-point tour, I recommend doing a taster day (like we did on day two) if you are not sure of your mountain cycling capabilities. It's surprising how little distance you can cover when you do it through the mountains.
So in summary, Tenerife was a fantastic place to visit with friendly traffic on well-maintained roads. Conversely to England, You'll find the main roads safer than back roads as they are wider and better tarmacked.
The weather is fantastic, even in our winter period, but the mountains can be very cold, especially when the clouds roll in, and they do, frequently!
The north will give you more mountains for your money, but the weather tends to be dramatically hotter in the south.
Do a bit of route research before your journey and prepare for every eventuality and you'll come home wishing you lived there.

Patients with chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease may benefit from pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), even if the patients don't have severe pulmonary hypertension, according to University of California, San Diego, researchers.
The study was presented at the 2014 American Thoracic Society International Conference.
UCSD pioneered PTE in the 1970s for patientswho suffered from chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). During PTE, surgeons put a patient on a heart-lung machine, cool the body to reduce its need for oxygen and then turn the machine off for up to 20 minutes so they can remove clots and scar tissue from the patient's arteries. Because of the procedure's complexity, it has been used, until recently, only to help patients whose pulmonary thromboembolic disease causes severe hypertension and has not responded to other therapies.
"Over the past five years, an increasing number of patients with symptomatic chronic thromboembolic disease, without severe pulmonary hypertension, are being offered and choosing to undergo the surgery, said lead investigator Daniel Crouch, MD, a third-year pulmonary and critical care fellow at UCSD. "These patients have symptoms that create a major burden in their lives. However, given that they do not have severe pulmonary hypertension and cardiac dysfunction, the benefits of the surgery must greatly outweigh the risks. "
In a retrospective chart review of patients who underwent PTE at UCSD between July 2010 and June 2013, Crouch found that 64 subjects had pre-operative pulmonary resistance values (PVRs) less than 300 dyn∙/cm5 and 355 patients had PVRs above 300dyn∙/cm5. (The value is used at UCSD as a guide to identify patients with severe and non-severe pulmonary hypertension.) In the UCSD study, both groups had similar mean age and gender composition, while the body mass index (32.57 vs 30.18) was higher in the low PVR group.
Crouch and his colleagues found that those in the low PVR group had lower mortality (0 vs. 1.1%) and fewer complications, including delirium (7.8% vs. 14.9%), pneumonia/tracheobronchitis (6.3% vs. 15.5%), and a statistically significant lower rate of reperfusion lung injury (7.8% vs. 25.9%), The low PVR group also experienced statistically significant recoveries, with less time spent on the ventilator (1.7 vs. 3.2 days), in the ICU (4 vs. 5.8 days) and in the hospital (13 vs. 16.3 days).
Anecdotally, Crouch added, patients in the low PVR group showed "great benefit" in follow up visits. Nonetheless, the program is conducting a follow-up study to evaluate formally improvement in their functional status and quality of life. With higher (BMI) and a higher rate of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting (9.4% vs. 15.5%), he said, those in the low group may have other factors that contribute to their symptoms before surgery.
"Although pulmonary thromboendarterectomy is the procedure of choice for CTEPH, there are important questions to answer before it can be considered the treatment of choice in the low PVR patient population," Crouch said. "As with anything we offer patients, we want to prove it's the best therapy."

copyright, F. Scott Schafer.
Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld and now the star of his own show, is a funny man. He's self-deprecating. He's annoying. His social skills are lacking and his mouth knows no filter. I remember first seeing this image for the 2010 season of Curb Your Enthusiasm and immediately snorting out the orange juice I was drinking. It sums up the show perfectly, instantly and as hysterically as it should.
F. Scott Schafer seems equally as funny, at least visually speaking (I've never met him and can't vouch for his joke repertoire). The majority of his work is provocative celebrity portraiture. It's usually witty as hell, with intricate lighting, and this image is no exception. I'm guessing this delightful studio shot was created with precisely 5 lights and the use of a rented mini-trampoline.
Camera: DSLR with 50mm lens, set on a tripod 12 feet back. Shot at 1/125, f11, ISO 100.
Lighting: The key light is a medium octabank at f11 1/2 (+1/2 stop) boomed in from camera left and positioned above and slightly behind Larry. A medium strip light at f11 sits just out of frame to camera left by the couch to help highlight him. A medium octabank at f8 (-1 stop) is twelve feet to camera left while another at f8 is twelve feet to camera right. The lights help to fill the background, although the heavy vignette was created in Photoshop. A large octabank at f5.6 (-2 stops) is positioned high and directly behind camera to provide fill on Larry and the couch. As much as Larry hoped to shoot the exasperated psychologist in-camera, Schafer wasn't able to find a suitable model willing to hang by his neck for an extended period of time. He was shot separately, bouncing on a mini-tramp, with the medium strip as the key light and the large octabank as fill.
Comments: As you can imagine, Larry isn't exactly the type to sit quietly throughout the shoot day. He spent a good portion of it bouncing ideas off F. Scott and the crew for another, "better" (his words) concept for the poster. When the makeup artist's assistant mentioned the honey badger, Larry's eyes lit up and he hopped from the couch and called for a team meeting. "Can we get a honey badger in here?" he asked. "But it's gotta be a crazy, nastyass one. And let's get a bee hive, a jackal and two cobras. And let's see if we can get Randall in here, too. Let's get his agent on the phone."
After two minutes of utter silence with Larry looking from person to person without any reaction, he said, "okay, okay. I see I'm alone on this one. Not the first time. That's okay. I'll just go back to the couch now. Can I get a Fresca first, though, please?"

Princeton Catalyst Polytip Bristle Flat
Princeton Catalyst Polytip Bristle Brushes are another Princeton breakthrough that advances the science of synthetic hair. For the first time, the tip of each individual hair has been split to replicate the natural flags on the finest natural bristle. By giving each individual hair two to three distinct tips, Polytip bristles are able to hold a higher volume of paint while providing smoother application. These brushes are super stiff yet still extremely responsive. Designed for use with medium to heavy body acrylics (as well as oil paints), Catalyst Brushes push even heavy gel mediums with assurance. And unlike natural hog bristle, which can be rendered useless when water-soaked , Catalyst Brushes have real integrity in water.
Bright and Flat - A Bright is a short flat brush that absorbs less color and has a stiffer stroke. A Flat is longer than a Bright and is consequently more flexible at the tip. Long and Short Handles - Long handles are recommended for easel style painting, while short handles are recommended for table-top painting where the artwork lies flat, especially with water media.

Manuel Fernandez as Don Jose Avila's father; thus, it is hardly surprising that Avila was educated abroad (St. Joseph's College, a secondary school in Hong Kong) and that his descendants have mestizo looks; brought Imprenta Avila and published The Advertiser and Tigmantala; with Cine Ideal started moviehouse business and family owned string of moviehouses in Colon and Mango Avenue uptown; Don Jose Avila street in Cebu City named after him.

Time to take a quick look at some of the interesting posts happening on the other Healthcare Scene blogs. I think you'll enjoy many of the posts.
EMR and EHR
Would Meaningful Use Go Away Under a Romney Presidency
With the November presidential election quickly approaching, there are many questions floating around. With Mitt Romney's desire to repeal ObamaCare, some are wondering if he will try and stop HITECH as well. And if so, what is the fate of Meaningful Use.
While the 2012 Olympics in London have been on the minds of many across the world for the past two weeks, Blair Butterfield suggested another sort of Olympics — one comparing the health care of different countries. He asks the question, "What if we compared our healthcare system to those of Europe, Asia and the Middle East in terms of areas like integration, communication and population health? How would the U.S. fare?" This post contains ideas for the different "events" that might occur in an eHealth Olympics, as well as suggestions for the top contenders for each category.
Meaningful Health IT News
Colbert Lampoons Proteus Digital Pill
The Proteus digital pill has gotten a lot of attention since it was announced. Included in that attention was a bit about it on the Colbert Report. It's a spoof, of course, but somewhat entertaining. As Neil Versel says, "At least Colbert's version featured a wireless tablet computer.
Smart Phone Health Care
LifeArmor Created for Military Families for Coping with Stress
A mobile app created by the Department of Defense aims to help military families cope with different issues. It addresses 17 topics, including depression and post-traumatic stress. The app takes content from the D0D website, AfterDeployment, and has videos and assessments. The app is free.
Several Pharmacies Offer Online Services for Patients
In-store pharmacies have started offering online services to make re-filling and transferring prescriptions easier than ever. Target and Walgreens are among those stores, and there are positives and negatives to using these services. Have you switched to online management of prescriptions?
Hospital EMR and EHR
Population Health Management is No Fad
Is population health management a fad, or is it here to stay? Anne references a recent column by Information Week by Paul Cerrato, where he states that it is. However, while she agrees that Cerrato's column was "well-argued," she disagrees with the suggestion.
Meaningful Use Stage 3 Draft On The Way
Although the MU Stage 2 final draft hasn't been released yet, the draft regulations for stage 3 are apparently going to be released in August. Healthcare Informatics suggested a list of recommendations that are likely to be in stage 3, such as tracking individual care goals, and track tracks/steps and responsible party.

Facts: The parties were married for six years. Prior to the marriage, Wife owned the house that became the marital residence. During the first few years of marriage, the parties had a joint checking account from which the mortgage on the marital residence was paid. After approximately four years, Wife established a separate account into which her earnings were deposited and from which thereafter the mortgage on the marital residence was paid. During the marriage, Wife established a home equity line of credit from which both parties borrowed money. In order for Husband to borrow money via the home equity line of credit, the bank required Wife to title the home in both parties' names. After a lengthy trial, the trial court classified the marital residence as Wife's separate property. Husband appealed.
On Appeal: The Court of Appeals reversed the trial court.
Husband — citing the fact that the parties lived together in the home for the entire six years of marriage and the quit claim deed transferring title from Wife individually to Wife and Husband as tenants by the entirety — argued the home became marital property under the doctrine of transmutation, and thus should have been equitably divided as part of the marital estate.
Tennessee is a "dual property" state because its domestic relations law recognizes both "marital property" and "separate property." When a married couple seeks a divorce, the "marital property" must be divided equitably between them, without regard to fault on the part of either party. "Separate property" is not part of the marital estate and is therefore not subject to division.
Broadly speaking, "separate property" is all real and personal property owned by a spouse before marriage. "Marital property" is defined as all real and personal property, both tangible and intangible, acquired by either or both spouses during the course of the marriage up to the date of the final divorce hearing and owned by either or both spouses as of the date of filing of a complaint for divorce.
Separate property can become part of the marital estate due to the parties' treatment of the separate property. Separate property becomes marital property via "commingling" if it is inextricably mingled with marital property or with the separate property of the other spouse. If the separate property continues to be segregated or can be traced into its product, commingling does not occur. "Transmutation" occurs when separate property is treated in such a way as to give evidence of an intention that it become marital property. The rationale underlying these doctrines is that dealing with property in these ways creates a rebuttable presumption of a gift to the marital estate. This presumption is based also upon the provision in many marital property statutes that property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be marital. The presumption can be rebutted by evidence of circumstances or communications clearly indicating an intent that the property remain separate. Four of the most common factors courts use to determine whether real property has been transmuted from separate property to marital property are: (1) the use of the property as a marital residence; (2) the ongoing maintenance and management of the property by both parties; (3) placing the title to the property in joint ownership; and (4) using the credit of the non-owner spouse to improve the property.
After reviewing the record, the Court reasoned as follows:
The undisputed evidence about the reason Wife executed the quit claim deed rebuts any presumption stemming from the parties' joint ownership of the [marital residence]. . . .
The [marital residence] started out as Wife's separate property, since Wife owned it in her sole name prior to the marriage. . . . Even if Husband's financial contributions to the joint account were minimal, once funds were deposited in the account from any source, they were owned by the parties jointly. For several years, the mortgage payment on the [marital residence] was paid from this joint account. The parties, of course, lived together in the [marital residence] throughout their marriage. Husband consistently made significant improvements to the home. Both parties borrowed monies from the equity in the home. While no one factor is determinative, all of this considered together is evidence of an intention that the [marital residence] become marital property. . . .
Under all of these circumstances, we must conclude that the evidence in the record preponderates against the trial court's finding that the [marital residence] remained Wife's separate property. We hold that the evidence preponderates in favor of a finding that the [marital residence] became marital property and should have been included in the parties' marital estate for purposes of the trial court's division of property.
The case was remanded to the trial court to reconsider the equitable divisionand of the marital estate in light of the Court's reclassification of the marital residence.
K.O.'s Comment: Note that the Court says mortgage payments made by Wife from her separate account into which only her earnings were deposited supports a finding of transmutation because her earnings were themselves marital property. This reinforces the necessity of a prenuptial agreement.
Hayes v. Hayes (Tennessee Court of Appeals, Western Section, October 18, 2012).

The Interpreter Strip can be earned in one of the following languages....
BSA does NOT specify anywhere that these are the only languages available for earning the Interpreter Strip. While they may be the only ones the BSA Supply Division currently has available, you can still earn the Interpreter Strip award for any language (other than English), as well as American Sign Language (ASL), Morse Code and Signing. —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 15:43, August 30, 2009 (EDT)
- We have been instructed that the official "signing" and "American Sign Language" strips have been retired with no plans to recreate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dtesterman (talk • contribs) December 9, 2010. (Please, sign and date your posts on talk pages.)

Custom Interpreter Strips
As far as I know, you can still custom order any language through the BSA Supply Division. (Just because it's not listed at ScoutStuff.Org, that does not mean they don't already have it; nor does it mean that they will not make it for you.) I do expect you'll have to order a minimum (probably, two) and pay a little extra.
If anybody has anything different on this, please post it here. Thanks, —RWSmith (Bureaucrat), 18:03, December 11, 2010 (EST)
Sign Languages
I have removed the section on Sign Languages because the information appears to be out of date. There is no longer any "Signing" interpreter strip available at the online Scout Shop nor referenced in the Guide to Awards and Insignia. For historical purposes, here is the text of the section I removed:
- Signing and American Sign Language are not the same thing; they are distinctly different forms of sign language for the hearing impaired. The Signing interpreter strip (BSA Supply No. 00390) is still listed in the Insignia Guide, but no longer listed at ScoutShop.Org. You may still, however, be able to get it at a Scout shop, or order it through your Council Service Center or the BSA Supply Division (directly).

Some moments from the first presidential debate
Some notable moments from the first presidential debate Wednesday night between Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, just 34 days before the Nov. 6 election.
The debate brought a constant tug-and-pull over the facts: Obama's version versus Romney's.
Romney accused Obama of mischaracterizing several parts of his agenda, from taxes to Wall Street reform. Romney told the president that as the father of five sons, "I'm used to people saying something that's not always true but just keep on repeating it and ultimately hoping I'll believe it."
At another point, Romney said, "Mr. President, you're entitled to your own house and your own airplane, but not your own facts."
Obama repeatedly accused Romney of pushing for changes to Medicare that would turn it into a voucher-like program.
To those in the audience, Obama said: "If you're 54 or 55, you might want to listen."
PBS newsman Jim Lehrer got mixed reviews for his role as the moderator.
The two candidates strayed from the time limits throughout the debate and Lehrer struggled to enforce the set 15-minute segments covering the economy, health care and other topics. The result was a steady back-and-forth between Obama and Romney, with the candidates often talking over themselves.
Many viewers took to Twitter, panning Lehrer's handling of the debate.
Romney even said he'd cut funding for Lehrer's network. "I'm sorry, Jim, I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS ... I like PBS, I love Big Bird. Actually like you, too. But I'm not going to -- I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for."
Obama was quick to offer praise to Lehrer, though, saying near the end of the debate that he did a "great job."
If you were a wonk, this was the debate for you. Obama and Romney appeared far more at ease comparing policy ratings than with trading zingers.
"The National Federation of Independent Businesses said your plan will kill 700,000 jobs," Romney said at one point, accusing Obama of pushing a plan that would hurt small businesses.
In another, Romney cited two groups -- the Congressional Budget Office and McKinsey and Co. -- as a reason why Obama's health care law was hurting the country.
But Obama had his own insider comeback, pointing to the AARP. "And this is not only my opinion. AARP thinks that," Obama said. "AARP has said that your plan would weaken Medicare substantially."
For a campaign where a new attack line has emerged nearly every week, exactly zero of this campaign's string of catch-phrases made it into the debate.
Obama was silent on "47 percent," the reference to Romney's now-famous critique of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes.
Likewise, Romney didn't touch Vice President Joe Biden's comment from Tuesday, that the middle class had been "buried" the past four years. However, Romney did use the term "buried" in his own comments, and used another, "crushed," three times.
Nowhere in Obama's comments was Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capital, which the Democrat demonizes as a job-killing corporate predator, nor the fact that Romney has personal assets in Swiss bank accounts.
To complete the parade of hits not made, Romney failed to mention this summer favorite, Obama's "you didn't build it" remark referring to small businesses.
The start of the debate offered a light moment: Obama offered anniversary wishes to his wife, first lady Michelle Obama.
The president said 20 years ago, he "became the luckiest man on earth" when they got married.
Calling the first lady "sweetie," Obama said from the debate podium that a year from now, "we will not be celebrating it in front of 40 million people."
Romney offered his congratulations with a touch of humor: "I'm sure it's the most romantic place you can imagine, here with me."
