Germany Warns Citizens To Avoid Using Wi-Fi People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the German government has said. Germany's official radiation protection body also advises its citizens to use landlines instead of mobile phones, and warns of "electrosmog" from a wide range of other everyday products, from baby monitors to electric blankets. Q&A: Mobile Phone Safety A series of conflicting reports has led to suspicions that mobile phone usage and the accompanying base stations may harm health and increase the risk of cancers. Report Buttresses Argument Against Power Lines A new scientific report joins others in raising serious public health concerns over long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields from high-voltage power lines. Danger To Children from Food and Drink Additives Is Exposed In England, adults are being advised to check for harmful food additives by scrutinising labels, yet many sweets and cakes are sold loose without labels, as is ice cream. The move has confounded experts and health campaigners, who say the government had missed an opportunity to take a tougher line by banning the additives completely instead of placing a huge burden on parents. Food Alert as Every Additive Comes Under New Suspicion The safety of every food colouring and additive is being assessed independently by the European Food Safety Authority. Food safety experts expect most of these artificial colourings to be banned or phased out within two years. Early Warning Ignored The chemical known as diacetyl was identified by scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2002 as the cause of a debilitating and sometimes fatal lung disease among workers in the plants where it is produced, as well as plants where it is added to popcorn. Now a popcorn consumer been reported ill. Reserve Ban on Mushroom Picking A nature reserve in mid Wales is banning all visitors from picking wild mushrooms because it says some species are in decline. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: From: The Independent (UK), Sept. 7, 2007 [Printer-friendly version] GERMANY WARNS CITIZENS TO AVOID USING WI-FI Environment Ministry's verdict on the health risks from wireless technology puts the British government to shame. By Geoffrey Lean People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the German government has said. Its surprise ruling -- the most damning made by any government on the fast-growing technology -- will shake the industry and British ministers, and vindicates the questions that The Independent on Sunday has been raising over the past four months. Germany's official radiation protection body also advises its citizens to use landlines instead of mobile phones, and warns of "electrosmog" from a wide range of other everyday products, from baby monitors to electric blankets. The German government's ruling -- which contrasts sharply with the unquestioning promotion of the technology by British officials -- was made in response to a series of questions by Green members of the Bundestag, Germany's parliament. The Environment Ministry recommended that people should keep their exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi "as low as possible" by choosing "conventional wired connections". It added that it is "actively informing people about possibilities for reducing personal exposure". Its actions will provide vital support for Sir William Stewart, Britain's official health protection watchdog, who has produced two reports calling for caution in using mobile phones and who has also called for a review of the use of Wi-Fi in schools. His warnings have so far been ignored by ministers and even played down by the Health Protection Agency, which he chairs. By contrast the agency's German equivalent -- the Federal Office for Radiation Protection -- is leading the calls for caution. Florian Emrich, for the office, says Wi-Fi should be avoided "because people receive exposures from many sources and because it is a new technology and...research into its health effects has not yet been carried out".

The UK's biggest investigation into mobile safety has now drawn up its own conclusions. What is the latest study? The UK Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research Programme was established in 2001 on the recommendations of the independent government-commissioned report chaired by Sir William Stewart. The £8.8m programme has been jointly funded by government and the industry, although it has an independent management committee. Members mainly include university academics. The first of the 28 research projects into mobile phones, base stations and masts started at the end of 2001 and to date 23 have been completed. What health effects have mobile phones been linked to? Fears have been raised about a number of possible adverse effects to health. The highest profile consequence, some research has suggested, has been an increased risk of brain and ear tumours. But there have also been claims that radiofrequency fields affect brain function, which could lead to problems with blood pressure and heart rate. And some argue that they are responsible for electrical hypersensitivity, sufferers of which report headaches, dizziness and tingling. They attribute these problems to devices such as mobile phones, base stations, computers and televisions. The 2000 Stewart report concluded that mobile phones did not appear to harm health, but recommended further research was carried out. And in 2005 Sir William added that mobile phone use by children should be limited as a precaution -- and that under eights should not use them at all. Does the latest report give mobiles a clean bill of health? It does rule out short-term effects to brain function and links to electrical hypersensitivity and says further research is now not needed. But on the issue of cancer, it is more ambiguous. No evidence of a greater short-term risk was found -- but researchers said the problem was that cancers do not generally emerge until 10 to 15 years after the event. There were very few people in the study who had been using mobiles for longer than 10 years, the researchers said. But they added those that had did show a "hint" of an excess risk, although this was only on the borderline of statistical significance. Base stations were not looked at in as much detail as mobile phones. But researchers said radio frequency exposure is much lower -- although there are problems measuring this exactly as it depends on where they are sited -- and there are no health risks. The programme did not look at mobile phone use in children. Researchers said at the time mobile phone use by children was less common than it is now and there were ethical concerns about testing children. What is happening next? The programme has been given over £6m to expand its remit. It will now look at the effect of mobile phone technology on children as well as carry out longer term studies on the risk of serious disease. This will include looking for links to cancers and degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The research is likely to involve over 200,000 people and include researchers from Denmark, Finland and Sweden as well as the UK. What is the advice on mobile phones? Professor Lawrie Challis would not be drawn on whether people -- and in particular parents -- should restrict mobile phone use. He said it was up to the government to offer advice, although in previous media interviews he has warned about letting children use them. The Department of Health said the precautionary principle set out by Sir William still stands.

This one was compiled by international scientists, researchers and public-health professionals from the University at Albany in New York state, and concludes that existing limits are inadequate for public health. Such emissions are linked to increased cases of childhood leukemia and adult cancers later in life. The new report recommends that allowable exposure to EMFs be limited to about one milligauss (an EMF measurement). That got the attention of the Tsawwassen Residents Against Higher Voltage Overhead Lines, a group trying to block the B.C. Transmission Corp.'s plan to replace two existing 138-kilovolt transmission lines that run through their back yards, parks and the local high school with 40-metre towers carrying 230-kilovolt power lines to Vancouver Island. Evidence at last year's B.C. Utilities Commission hearing, which gave the project a green light, was that the new high-voltage lines will emit 149 milligauss -- or almost 150 times the report's recommended EMF levels. The problem here is that the linkage of EMF exposure to cancer has not been proven absolutely, unlike tobacco use or exposure to asbestos. But increasingly, studies conclude such links exist, and the Tsawwassen residents' group has turned to the Supreme Court of Canada, where it seeks leave to appeal on the grounds that if an EMF health risk is even suspected, the project shouldn't be built. This is called the "precautionary principle," and it's been adopted by some governments and jurisdictions, including the United Nations. But the residents' group says concerns reach beyond caution. During the utilities commission hearing, the group introduced affidavits from 58 households showing an above-average rate of cancer among family members -- and among household pets -- along the power-line route. However, despite the residents offering a viable route or construction alternatives to reduce or eliminate these risks, the provincial Crown corporation and Gordon Campbell's government have refused to back down on the proposed routing. The residents' group thinks it knows why. "If we're successful in court, it'll set a huge precedent for the government and the BCTC because much more due diligence will have to be applied to these projects," says group co-chairman Cec Dunn. Adds director Bernadette Kudzin: "Because the B.C. transmission grid is so old, the Tsawwassen project is only the start of a lot of upgrading -- this is all about money." Kudzin is particularly concerned about the lines crossing South Delta Senior Secondary School's grounds. "Most of the high-school kids in our neighbourhood go to that school, so they live under these power lines 24/7," she says. Group members also point out that the existing 28-year-old limit of 833 milligauss, which the transmission corporation often cites, is only for short-term exposure. They say there are no EMF limits in Canada for long-term exposure. For its part, the transmission corporation is fully aware of the studies but says it's sticking with the current EMF guidelines even though this latest report say they're not good enough. Clearly, only the country's highest court will be able to decide this issue.

The government's Food Standards Agency is taking the significant step of issuing revised guidance to consumers recommending that they steer clear of products containing certain E-numbers if their children are showing signs of hyperactivity or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The release of the new public health advice follows the results of the biggest UK study into the links between hyper-activity and chemical food additives, which was commissioned by the government and published today in the medical journal the Lancet. But the move has confounded experts and health campaigners, who say the government had missed an opportunity to take a tougher line by banning the additives completely instead of placing a huge burden on parents. Adults are being advised to check for additives by scrutinising labels, yet many sweets and cakes are sold loose without labels, as is ice cream. The FSA also said it would not be issuing any formal advice about the findings to headteachers about the content of school meals via the School Food Trust. The agency said yesterday it was passing them to the European Food Safety Authority for it to make a decision about a ban as part of re- evaluation of the safety of all food colours. Hyperactivity is a behaviour officially indicated by increased movement, impulsiveness and inattention, and can impair learning. It is unclear how many people in the UK are affected by hyperactivity conditions. In its more severe form ADHD is believed to affect between 2.4% and 5% of the population. For their research, scientists from Southampton University recorded the responses of 153 three-year-olds and 144 eight to nine year-olds to mixes of additives placed in different drinks; they found that artificial food colour and additives were having "deleterious effects". The children drank mixtures of additives, which included artificial colourings and the preservative sodium benzoate, which is commonly used in soft drinks. The mixtures were designed to reflect what a typical child might eat in the course of a normal day. The results of the Southampton study show that when the children were given the drinks containing the test mixtures there was an increase in hyperactivity. However, the responses were not consistent; some children reacted significantly, others not at all. The study found that the deterioration in behaviour after consuming the additives occurred in children in the general population, not just in those identified as suffering from hyperactivity. Professor Jim Stevenson, who headed the Southampton study, said: "We now have clear evidence that mixtures of certain food colours and benzoate preservative can adversely influence the behaviour of children. There is some previous evidence that some children with behavioural disorders could benefit from the removal of certain food colours from their diet." He said it was his "personal view" that the government could easily have taken a tougher line and banned the colours, although he admitted the issue of sodium benzoate was more complex. Dr Andrew Wadge, the FSA's chief scientist, said: "We have revised our advice to consumers: if a child shows signs of hyperactivity or ADHD then eliminating the colours used in the Southampton study from their diet might have some beneficial effects." He went on: "If parents are concerned about any additives they should remember that, by law, food additives must be listed on the label so they can make the choice to avoid the product if they want to." A spokesman for the Hyperactive Children's Support Group said: "This research confirms what many of us have known for 30 years. But we seriously question the implementation of the new advice. Is it practical to expect parents to quiz headteachers about additives in school meals, or to ask parents about the contents of party bags?" Popular drinks and sweets that still contain one or more of the named additives include Diet Coke, Irn-Bru, Orangina, Refreshers and Skittles. Richard Watts, coordinator of the Children's Food Campaign, said: "The junk food diet turns out to be bad for children's mental health, as well as their physical health. We need to go further to make parents aware of the potential health problems created by additives, as well as do more to persuade children to eat less E-number-riddled junk food by restricting its marketing and labelling it clearly." The food and drink additive industry is worth more than $25bn (£12.4bn) a year globally. But the impact of the research will be much wider, affecting the whole of the food and drink industry. Julian Hunt, of the Food and Drink Federation, stressed the work it had already done to cut additives, and added: "As a responsible industry, we shall be studying the detail of the research and companies will clearly take account of these findings as part of their ongoing review of product formulations. The industry continues to respond to consumer demand by reducing the use of additives... many food and drink products on supermarket shelves contain no artificial colours." The British Soft Drink Association said in a statement: "All additives, including colours used in food and drink, have been approved by the FSA as being safe for use and are carefully selected and monitored. They are included to meet the expectations of the public about the appearance and shelf-life of products and to enhance the choices that are available to them." Copyright 2007 Guardian Unlimited Return to Table of Contents :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: From: The Times (London, England), Sept. 6, 2007 [Printer-friendly version] FOOD ALERT AS EVERY ADDITIVE COMES UNDER NEW SUSPICION By Valerie Elliott, Consumer Editor The safety of every food colouring and additive is being assessed independently by the European Food Safety Authority. Food safety experts expect most of these artificial colourings to be banned or phased out within two years. The Food Standards Agency made clear yesterday that it had the option to introduce a unilateral ban, but it believes that an EU-wide ban would be more effective, especially as many manufacturers operate across the Continent. Scientists at the food safety authority's headquarters in Palma, Italy, have examined the Southampton research findings and are preparing a report for the European Commission. Some experts believe that action may be taken sooner on colourings than on the preservative sodium benzoate while manufacturers resolve technical difficulties. Sodium benzoate extends the shelf-life of drinks to about two years. Without it, many products would have to be refrigerated while in storage. The links between artificial colours and hyperactivity in children have been known since the 1970s and companies have been lobbied by parents and health campaign groups to remove them. Nestle has removed artificial dyes from Smarties, and Burton's Foods removed them from its Jammie Dodgers after consumer concerns. Leading brands, including super-market own-labels, are unlikely to contain many of these additives. Sainsbury's Kids range is already free from artificial flavourings, colours and sodium benzoate, and the company is reformulating more than 12,000 of its own-label items. A spokeswoman said that it was seeking natural alternatives in canned strawberries, raspberries, glace cherries, processed peas and angel cake. She said that any additives were clearly labelled. Marks & Spencer has also removed all artificial colourants and flavourings from 99 per cent of products and has even introduced a new range of gourmet jelly beans, using natural colours such as beetroot red, concentrated plum, pear and pineapple juices or banana, peach and raspberry fruit purees. Consumers should be suspicious of any brightly coloured food and drink products, especially in cheaper products. Icing on cakes and biscuits, sweet desserts, instant pudding mixes, some jellies and confectionery are the most likely candidates for E numbers. Sweets that are sold loose and are frequently found in children's birthday party bags are also prime suspects. Malcolm Kane, a food technology consultant, campaigns for the removal of additives. He said that after the war there were hundreds of artificial colourings but these had been whittled down over the years by health concerns. "What we are left with is about 12 azo dyes still found and deemed safe to use in foods. But now is the time to ban them from foods in the precautionary principle. We need to do this for food security. "Everyone will remember the illegal use of Sudan I red dye in scores of products. There are other illegal azo dyes but the testing procedure makes it difficult to distinguish between a lawful and illegal dye. "It would make the control of such illicit dyes much better. We could test for azo dyes and if any were found, food would immediately be removed from human consumption." Copyright Copyright 2007 Times Newspapers Ltd. Return to Table of Contents :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: From: Halifax (Nova Scotia) Chronicle, Sept. 10, 2007 [Printer-friendly version] SAFETY WARNING IGNORED Popcorn producers warned in April 2006 about a chemical By Jeff Nesmith Over a year after they were given the secret results of an Environmental Protection Agency study of potential health risks of a chemical in microwave popcorn, major popcorn producers have begun removing the substance from their product. The results of the EPA study still have not been made public. The chemical, known as diacetyl, was identified by scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2002 as the cause of a debilitating and sometimes fatal lung disease among workers in the plants where it is produced, as well as plants where it is added to popcorn. CDC's National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has called the condition bronchiolitis obliterans, or "popcorn lung." Diacetyl is used to make popcorn smell "buttery." An EPA study of whether that appetizing smell endangers consumers was launched in the aftermath of the CDC report. In April 2006, EPA scientists at Research Triangle Park, N.C., completed an analysis of air released from bags of microwaved popcorn, internal agency documents indicate. Copies of the results were provided to popcorn producers three months later, but for the following 13 months EPA has refused to make a report containing data available to the general public. During that time, Americans have consumed more than 750 million pounds of home-popped popcorn, according to statistics posted online by an industry group. Last week, a health advocacy organization at George Washington University here revealed that a Colorado physician had notified the Food and Drug Administration in July that she had a patient who had developed "significant lung disease whose clinical findings are similar to those described in affected workers." The patient had eaten "several bags of extra-butter-flavored microwave popcorn" per day for several years, said the physician, Dr. Cecile Rose of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. David Michaels, an associate professor of environmental and occupational health at George Washington University and director of the university's Project on Scientific Knowledge and Public Policy, last week posted a copy of Rose's letter on his blog, the Pump Handle. On Aug. 28, Weaver Popcorn Co. of Indianapolis became the first microwave popcorn company to announce that it was removing diacetyl from its product. "It was a challenge to eliminate diacetyl from our flavorings and still maintain the great buttery taste that consumers love, but we've done it," Mike Weaver, president of the company, said in a news release. He said the action was taken because "we know consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about this issue." The Associated Press reported that other large popcorn producers, together responsible for more than 80 per cent of the U.S.'s supply, said they would follow suit. In response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, EPA recently released to Cox Newspapers several hundred pages of documents related to the diacetyl study. However, it withheld the study report, as well as comments the agency received from popcorn companies after they were allowed to see the document. The industry comments were withheld under a provision that exempts confidential business information from mandatory disclosure. The study itself was withheld under a FOIA provision that allows agencies to withhold documents that are part of their pre-decisional, deliberative processes. EPA public relations personnel have said the study was being held back so that it could be submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal for publication. That has not yet taken place. The records released to Cox show that EPA bowed in 2004 to industry pressure regarding the manner in which the study results would be released. This happened after an official of one company -- Weaver Popcorn - warned that media attention resulting from the study "could irreparably damage the industry." Andrew Miller, then a Weaver vice-president and now director of the Indiana Department of Agriculture, appealed to EPA scientist Jacky Ann Rosati to withhold preliminary results until the final study was completed. "If this is combined with the issues surrounding worker safety and the popularity of popcorn, the media could have a field day," Miller said in an e-mail. He said he expected media coverage would "go something like this: "The EPA completed its research on America's favorite microwave popcorn and found that 11 nasty compounds circulate through your microwave when it cooks.' " He warned that "any misstep could have a sizeable economic impact," adding: "I can only imagine what will happen to sales and subsequently jobs and companies if consumers start believing that microwave popcorn is turning their kitchen into a gas chamber." A few days later Rosati, a principal investigator on the study, replied that "after lengthy discussion with our public relations staff, we will likely publish one complete paper on this study."

The trust's head ranger said some people were "cashing in" by selling car boot loads of the mushrooms. But it is unclear how the trust intends to prevent mushroom picking. Chairman John Evans defended the blanket ban at the site known as the Elan Estate. "Our feeling is that if you permit some people to take some fungi, some of the time, in some places, that it is impossible to police that," he said. ======================================================== I have been doing this for nine years without any problems, and there is no scientific evidence that I'm causing any damage whatsoever by picking mushrooms. -- Daniel Butler, tour guide ======================================================== "Applying a precautionary principle, we think it is wiser to have a total prohibition on the removal of any fungi on the estate. "To study fungi, we do not believe it is necessary to remove the fungi." To illustrate the problems faced by the trust, Mr Evans said a rare bog orchid had been picked to extinction on the estate. Head ranger Peter Jennings said there were no plans to erect warning signs on the 70 square mile (181.3 square kms), 42,000-acre (16,997 hectares) estate which is in the counties of Powys and Ceredigion. He claimed that some people were "cashing in" on the mushrooms as well. He said: "We have had people from eastern Europe picking whole (car) boot loads for commercial purposes. Fantastically edible "I have been here 20 years and in my time numbers have declined and some species have disappeared from some sites, and it's no coincidence it's the ones that sell for the most money." However, Daniel Butler, a mushroom tour guide at the reserve, questioned the ban. "I have been doing this for nine years without any problems, and there is no scientific evidence that I'm causing any damage whatsoever by picking mushrooms," he said. Asked why he had to pick the mushrooms instead of just looking at them, he added: "They are fantastically edible, but some are only about an inch off the ground and difficult to see without picking. "I'm not commercially exploiting the valley, but I want to open people's eyes to mushrooms." Mr Butler claimed that his fungi tours generated about £25,000 for the local economy, and this year 84 people are expected to take part. He said there were about 10,000 species of mushroom in Britain and about 1,000 were found on the estate.

I went to 10 Arts last night for the Le Bernadin dinner, so I thought I'd provide a brief review.
I've never been to Le Bernardin - mostly because I can't afford it. The dinner last night definitely wasn't cheap, but it's cheaper than Le Bernardin (and closer), so I thought I'd give it a try. I am so glad I did, because it was one of the best meals I've ever had. There was a lot of flavors, so I'll try to remember as much as I can!
We did not do the wine flight, but shared a bottle of prosecco.
Fluke ~ Progressive Tasting of Marinated Fluke; From Simple to Complex
4 styles of fluke - Peruvian, Mediterranean, Japanese and Caribbean. The Peruvian was very light and acidic - typical ceviche style. The Med had tomato and basil - very fresh and bright. The Caribbean had coconut milk and was very rich - made me long for the lazy moonlight dinners I had in St. Lucia.
Bacalao ~ Grilled Salted Cod; Hearts of Baby Romaine, "Caesar Vinaigrette"
A perfect, light little salad. I've always been adverse to salted cod (the sight of the dry, stiff slab in my grandmother's kitchen as a kid freaked me out), but now I realize how delicious it can be. Small dabs of pepper sauce around the plate gave it some nice heat.
Salmon ~ Barely Cooked Salmon; Wasabi-Bean Purée, Yuzu Emulsion
Best piece of cooked salmon I've ever had. Firm but just the right amount of rare center. The yuzu butter sauce was ridiculous - I should have kept a piece of bread to soak it all up!
Striped Bass ~ Sautéed Striped Bass; Pickled Cucumbers, Black Garlic-Persian Lime Sauce
To me, there is nothing like a perfectly cooked piece of fish. Not even steak imo. This was heaven. Perfect grill on the outside, dense and juicy in the middle. The black garlic sauce was dark and decadent, with a hint of pomegranate for sweetness. Excellent companion for the bass.
Mont Blanc ~ Roasted Chestnut Cream, Meringue, Pear
A lovely fall dessert. The taste reminded me of the windmill cookies I used to get at school (sounds silly, but I mean it as a good thing).
Also included was a small bite of brownie and a pumpkin gelee cube.
In sum, a wonderful, complex dining experience. Eric Ripert came to every table to chat. I'll admit I was a bit starstruck, but he was very friendly and gracious.
If you haven't made a reservation, I highly recommend it!

This is one question which has grappled scholars, philosophers, vetti (velle) people over the years. This really shows the importance of this question. What is more amazing is to know that we still don't know definitely about our own self. If the question was biological, i think we have the answer to this question. But call it curiosity or anything else; we still wanna know more about our origin. Obviously scientists have got leads in some directions. But we still don't wanna get convinced by the answer. Its not the mathematics of big bang which can satisfy the emotional question of who we are (there is a clear mismatch). I don't know what others think... and am myself not so equipped to answer such questions. But i have my own theory (if u can call it that :P). The things that i see happening around me yells at me to believe that the presence of a supernatural is inevitable. I really love the lyrics of a very cute song :
Every tiny star
That twinkles in the night sky
Every drop of morning dew.
Every spark of fire
Blazing in the furnace
Every captivating view
Every rainbow in the sky,
Every pretty butter-fly
Tells the fascinating news to
Those who dare to hope
And the message is
God still loves the world
Although this song doesn't have anything in it to prove the existence of God but still, for me, the very simplicity and something else in it makes me feel that this world without God will be dry and hollow and impossible.
In this fight of theism versus atheism, it always so happens that we tend to defend one over the other by using better superlatives and it turns out to be a fight between adjectives, adverbs and illustrations.
There is no answer to this question which might satisfy different kinds of people all alike. There is another thought which comes to my mind often. Why is it necessary that we should be able to understand everything? May be our brains are not capable enough to answer all questions that come to us. You can't make a monkey understand cosmic science... then why cant this same thing apply to us.
I know this post sounds very confusing. But frankly speaking, i find this question very simple. I guess because i have stopped at an explanation to this, and i am so much awed by it, that i don't feel like losing my peace that i have by living in that explanation. Sounds irrational, but i prefer peace.

"The Emperor's New Groove" is a solid, enjoyable Christmastime release that features most of the standard animated feature aspects except (thankfully) an abundance of crude jokes, hackneyed singing and countless fast food toy tie-ins. It has all the animated feature elements in all the right spots: negligible potty humor, merciless yet ineptly benign bad guys and a strong moral message.
And you thought that Walt Disney Pictures was to the point of being morally irreparable. Maybe not. It seems that Hollywood—led by a growing base of virtuous family films—may finally be catching on to the fact that ethical stories not only sustain a clear conscience, but they consistently generate huge amounts of money at the box office.
A whiney-sounding David Spade has the title role as Kuzco, a young, self-centered emperor in need of a serious attitude adjustment. Kuzco's problems begin after he unsympathetically fires Yzma (a well-cast Eartha Kitt), one of his top aides, and her goofy assistant Kronk (Patrick Warburton). Later that same day, Kuzco summons Pacha (John Goodman) to inform him that his beautiful, reclusive village will be demolished to make way for the new royal swimming pool.
Pacha is devastated and prepares to return to his village while Yzma seeks revenge with poison. While hosting dinner for her former employer, Yzma's assistant gets her concoction mixed up with some others in his drink and rather than kill Kuzco it turns him into a Llama.
She orders the kind-hearted yet incompetent Kronk to kill Kuzco, but through a series of humorous events the young emperor instead winds up unconscious and lying on the cart towed by Pacha back to his village. Once at the village Kuzco wakes up and Pacha discovers that his leader cannot get home without his help. But Yzma and Kronk are quickly on the trail of Kuzco to finish the job so they can take over the kingdom without resistance.
The overall lesson espoused by the filmmakers from Kuzco's point of view is that self-centeredness and pride can get a person in a lot of trouble as time and again we see the emperor falling victim to his own narcissism. Also, his self-absorbed jealousy over Pacha's beautiful village causes him to make decisions that are harsh and divisive.
Aside from lessons regarding malevolence, the qualities of promise-keeping, family unity and honesty are championed by Pacha's honorable character though he is not immediately rewarded for his integrity. Things might seem gloomy for Pacha initially when the young ruler pledges to wipe out his village, but the strong family man (who deeply loves his protective wife and two joyful children) is eventually victorious for keeping his word, following through with his promises and considering of the needs of others before himself—even the needs of a young, egocentric ruler.
Kuzco's hard lesson on humility and the sin of pride is classic Biblical instruction, whether the filmmakers know it or not. Kuzco's pride is a result of Earthly wisdom, power and luxury and his life decisions are based solely on his own needs and wants regardless of who might be disrupted.
James 3:13-16 addresses this issue when it says, "Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is Earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing."
Aside from its strong moral messages, "Emperor's" exploits a minimal amount of the relentlessly flamboyant, dazzling and over-the-top pandemonium that's frequently found in Disney animation. The dizzying, hyperactive pace of some Disney features like "Aladdin", or "Hercules" seem to have dumbed audiences down to the expectation of mindless eye candy rather than substantive shows that manage to speak to an important social or moral issue. It's refreshing to see a quality, deliberately-paced Disney feature rather than another rock-em sock-em, we're-going-to-wear-you-out animation extravaganza.
"Emperor's" almost hearkens back to the way Disney animated features used to be before short attention spans and video games became so popular. It's not a perfect film, however. The animation is solid, but not remarkable, the title is incomprehensible and many of the characters seem to slip by unnoticed. But, as mentioned before, this may be due to the bombardment of overt visual stimuli in prior animated features.
Whether the kids go for it is a much different question, but "…Emperor…" is a good enough story to offer a quality alternative to the crude double-entendres or frantic pace we've been forced to endure in some past films.

The website for the Farsi language Gooya News is found at news.gooya.com. However, access to the site has been blocked in Iran as of March 2015.
Gooya News was founded in 1998 by journalist Farshad Bayan, whose goal was to provide news coverage that extended beyond the official view of the Islamic Republic. It soon grew into a very popular website that allowed visitors to read political opinions from across the spectrum. Because it often provided a stage for views that contradicted and criticized government discourse and policies, access was blocked just a few years after it became active.
During the protests that followed the presidential election in June 2009, when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected for a second term and the opposition made accusations of vote rigging, Gooya was particularly important. The website published documents, photos and editorials that were banned from conventional news outlets.
Although the website is mainly run from outside the Islamic Republic and many contributors have been forced to leave the country, Gooya News relies on a network of contributors inside Iran, which has one of the largest blogging communities in the world.
In March 2015, Reporters Without Borders included Gooya News in a group of nine blocked websites that the group was able render accessible in their banned countries. The organization used a technique called mirroring in a bid to provide citizens in those countries with independent news journalism.

I am not sure if any of you saw the recent Boondocks where they spoofed prison culture and gayness. Well....if you haven't...here is a little clip of where they got their inspiration from. Fleece Johnson...the Booty Warrior...
So yeah...Fleece is a little crazy..but we are about to roll with thiis for a minute. I am about to take the "Fleece Johnson" no holds barred approach to dating.
If I see a dude it's going down like this:
I likes ya
I wants ya
We can do this the easy way
Or the hard way....your choice.
Now..Fleece might be talking about gay men and booty warrior and "hornin". But..I'm talking about taking the same approach to men. If I see a dude I want..I WANT HIM. Imma have him. We can play games and bullshit and do it the hard way...OR we can do it the easy way...you give in to me and my desires (and yours)..and be happy. Which would you rather have? Would you rather have to do dumb sh*t to work for a good woman? Or take an easy approach with the same results? Either way...Imma have you.
Let's talk about how Imma put this plan into action (for example..not saying this is true...entirely):
I want Idris Elba
I like Idris Elba
He's sexy to me.
We can do this the easy way (conversation...dates..getting to know each other)
OR the hard way ( playing games, being elusive, not being clear)
EITHER WAY...Imma get you.
ANd the end results shall me :sex. satisfaction and happiness...and me sicking your duck till it was light skinned
Now wouldnt the world be a better place if we operated on the Fleece Johnson principles of dating? I think so!
So let's see how I am going to incorperate this into my dating life! LMAO!

There's Only One Place To Put The Blame For Russian, Chinese Fallout From NSA Spying: On The NSA
from the everything-else-is-a-distraction dept
Slowly but surely governance of the internet is moving from the existing mishmash of institutions and into the hands of national governments. The Chinese call this "cyber autonomy".And, yes, the knowledge of what the US is doing is giving the Chinese, Russians and plenty of others greater confidence to push for their own agenda. Amazingly, and in a sad statement on the state of the US government today, the report notes that a Chinese official recently argued:
Authoritarian regimes are showing ever-greater confidence in restricting information, filtering, blocking, monitoring and punishing anyone who steps over the mark.
American dominance of the internet is being challenged on several fronts. The Obama administration and its spooks only have themselves to blame.Except, of course, they're using compliant mouthpieces like Eichenwald to, instead, try to blame the messenger. Nothing is going to get fixed here until the current leadership either takes responsibility or is replaced in office by those who will take responsibility.

Hood: Atlanta Under The Lights Was A Winner
By Jeff Hood | Senior Writer
Hampton, Ga. – There was plenty of electricity in the air when the lights came on at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday night for the Pep Boys Auto 500.
One of the most competitive races in the track's history, won by Kasey Kahne in front of an estimated crowd of 111,300, was merely icing on the cake.
NASCAR's return to the south during the first weekend of September for the first time since 2003 had a Darlington Raceway-type feel.
Much like Labor Day weekends of years past in Darlington, S.C., Atlanta's abrasive track surface resulted in cars often skating around the 1.54-mile quad-oval.
Some drivers resorted to navigating the turns by running within a few feet of the outside wall. Tire wear left crew chiefs scratching their heads and slowed lap times by as much as three seconds during green-flag runs.
The rumors circulating that Atlanta could be in line to lose a Sprint Cup race had been silenced for the immediate future when the speedway announced earlier in the day that it will retain its two Cup dates in 2010.
AMS President and General Manager Ed Clark was thrilled to welcome a near-sellout crowd to the first scheduled Cup night race at the facility located 30 miles south of Atlanta.
Parking lots were jammed more than three hours prior to the 7:47 p.m. start. Some cars were parked alongside roads more than two miles from the speedway.
"We've wanted to have a night race here for almost as long as the fans, and we're grateful for the response to this weekend's event," Clark said.
The November 1998 Cup event at AMS, won by Jeff Gordon, finished under the lights following a lengthy rain delay.
Because Atlanta hasn't sold out a race since 1992, many fans often wait until the week of the race to purchase tickets.
But the demand for tickets was higher than normal this week.
"We've continued to add ticket sellers and expand our ticket office hours, and still we aren't fully meeting the demand," Clark said early Sunday. "We apologize to fans who experienced challenges in purchasing tickets, and we will alleviate these issues before the March 7 Kobalt Tools 500."
Second-place finisher Kevin Harvick, who won Saturday night's Nationwide Series race, hopes next year's Labor Day weekend stop in Atlanta will once again be a two-day show.
"I think the teams enjoy the shorter schedule," said Harvick, when asked if he would have benefitted from practicing his Cup car under the lights on Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon. "The track conditions didn't really change.
"The more time we can give these guys at home, the better we'll be."

In the far west of America lies a legendary land that was home to Native American civilizations, cowboys, the gold rush and countless natural wonders. Over millions of years, powerful forces have forged some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth.
The high country of the west is a land of extremes where winters are long and hard, and summers brief but plentiful; it is in lock down for six months of the year. Coyotes prey on the victims of winter. See footage of kayakers on the Oh-be-joyful creek.
Over the vast territory, bordered on either side by the Sierra Nevada and the Rockies, the sun wakes residents from their winter slumber. Marmots spend up to 8 months asleep in their burrows. Grizzly bears emerge from hibernation to seek food and pack on weight.
Giant Sequoias are the largest trees on Earth. The trees' horizontal root system provides nutrients to the parasitic snow plant, which in turn provides food for resident hummingbirds. Hummingbirds fight over access to the plant nectar.
During the last ice age, glaciers carved out the spectacular peaks and ridges in Yosemite National Park. A few weeks into spring and much of the high country is green and lush. The human residents drive cattle into the hills for grazing.
Cutthroat trout spend the winter in the lakes of Yellowstone and then head into the streams to spawn when spring arrives. A river otter crashes the spawning area to hunt trout. With the otter occupied by a fresh kill, the trout flee to deeper waters.
The summer sun brings blooms to the high country flowers, drawing many species to feed. Mountain goats come down from the peaks to graze, braving predators. Grizzly bears climb up into mountain goat territory to eat army cutworm moths.
The Sierra Nevada range is the backbone of California and the high ridges are home to the oldest living organisms on Earth. Pikas inhabit the debris of a mining ghost town and race the sun to gather haystacks for their winter hibernation.
In Montana's Big Hole Valley, ranchers spend their days gathering hay at the Hershey Ranch. Heidi Hershey speaks about the haying season. The Hersheys use homemade equipment to construct huge hay piles from the harvest.
High up in the Rockies thousands of bison congregate for "the rut." Bulls compete for mating rights in brutal headbutting competitions.
Late in the summer, birds, rodents and scientists compete to gather sugar pine cones. The birds and squirrels are after the rich sap and seeds found in the cones, but forester John Pickett gathers cones to replant the seeds in areas where the pines are being killed by an invasive species of fungus. A Steller's jay stalks a squirrel hoping to find and pillage its seed stash.
As the days shorten, Aspens divert energy into creating a sugary anti-freeze to survive the winter. A grizzly bear feeds on acorns in a grove that has been heavily harvested by acorn woodpeckers. A larger grizzly arrives to compete for the acorns.
Winter arrives with a heavy snowfall from a storm, sealing the valleys under snow for the next six months. Hershey ranchers feed their herd with the hay they gathered in the summer. Residents of the high country turn to hibernation, predation or adaptation to survive the harsh winter.

For additional digital leasing and purchase options contact a media consultant at 800-257-5126 (press option 3) or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The High Country is the land of grizzly bears and giant trees, of frigid winters and scorching summers, of tough ranchers and gold-rush fever. From the Rockies to the Sierra Nevada, in this land of extreme seasons survival demands endurance. It's all about taking what you need to stay alive by whatever means, from parasitic plants to thieving black bears, and tenacious pikas to battling bison.

That said...THE HOLIDAYS!!!....
First my immediate "Ice Family":
.....and the rest of the "Extended Family":
...dysfunction at its finest. Ah but I still love them!
So what's first tree? Yes we have a few here....(take heed they are creative. Remember no live plants here, so we do what we can...)
These aren't the only decoration, although it definitely isn't like the States. The biggest difference is that there are no light....(huge sad face)...but being as there is no darkness what can you do?
Stocking? Yup.....
What else? Mistletoe?....check:
Gingerbread houses? ....And then some....
A crackling fire?...well kind of. Hey it's a harsh Continent....but we try:
Yes it is a video of a crackling fire. But it had sound effects; which were great for the first two days.
And food!!!!!! I was way to busy eating to take many pictures but here are a few:
One more. (well two) It's from Thanksgiving but I'm pretty proud of them because I actually cooked them.
And one of the greatest things I got out of this Christmas was how the thought is really what counts.I expected, nor wanted, anything, and what I got I really cherish. So here are my gifts:
Livestrong Oakley's
Crystals from Mt Erebus
Eeyore (in my stocking)
Shirt from work; "Cooking at the Bottom of the World"
These are a few of the things I got this Christmas; and this year in general; the rest I can't take pictures of, or send thank you cards for. I can't tell you where I got them, or why it took so long. All I can say is the gifts I received that fit in this category are the ones I hold closest to my heart. Wow reading that back it even sounds sappy to me, but it's true. Anyway, they are another blog, for another time; maybe my New Year post....
Until Then......

It was difficult to tell if it was done. I cooked it for 4 hours. When I stuck the knife in it was wet so I cooked it for another half hour. It was burned all around the outside.

I'm thinking you could just brown some bananas in a bit of butter and add that to a jar of caramel sauce.
That said, I bet nobody from BHG reads these posted replies so they'll never pick up on their mistake.

Looks delicious, but as noted with the previous recipe, with such a short cooking time, it is not practical to have for breakfast.

780,000 SMBs Currently Use Various SFA/CRM Solutions and 250,000 Have Adopted Various ERP/SCM Applications
AMI Segmentation Model Shows Top 2 SMB Segments Driving 85% of Total Spending
NEW YORK – July 17, 2002 – Total U.S. Small and Medium Business (SMB) spending on SFA, CRM, ERP and SCM software topped $1.3 billion during the last 12 months, registering a 21% increase year-over-year. From 489,000 in 2Q 2001, the number of U.S. SMBs using one or more business process automation applications (SFA, CRM, ERP or SCM) increased by 114% to over 1.0
million in 2Q 2002.
The above findings were released today by New York-based Access Markets International (AMI) Partners, Inc., a leading consulting firm specializing in IT, Internet, telecom and business services market intelligence, trends and strategy with a strong focus on global small and medium business (SMB) enterprises.
"The U.S. SMB market has now entered a sustainable high-growth phase of business process automation applications deployment," observed Deepinder Sahni, Vice President at AMI. "Optimizing business processes to stay competitive, retaining and growing customers to generate sales, and controlling costs in this difficult economic climate are the key driving factors behind this surge in enterprise applications deployment in the SMB market."
Total SMB seats using one or more of these applications currently exceeds 3 million, representing a 25% year-over-year growth. AMI estimates that U.S. SMB business process automation software license related spending is expected to grow to $4.2 billion by 2006, reflecting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 33% during 2002-2006, as SMBs transition from relatively simple home grown solutions to sophisticated implementations, including hosted versions.
Sales Force Automation (SFA) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM). The AMI study reveals that an estimated 784,000 U.S. SMBs are now using SFA and CRM solutions. According to AMI, majority of these solutions are home grown and relatively simple, such as databases and spreadsheets. However, the AMI study shows SMBs will transition to more impactful, yet cost
effective SFA/CRM solutions which include features such as common customer data repositories, lead management, etc. SalesForce.Com and Salesnet.Com are delivering such solutions via the web while current market leader Siebel along with FrontRange Solutions and Interact Commerce Corporation typify companies that deliver desktop and/or network based products within the SMB space.
The competitive environment is expected to further intensify as well established, larger players seek revenue growth in the burgeoning SMB market. Siebel, with its focused commitment to CRM and early entry into the MB market currently has a head start in offering enterprise class CRM applications to the SMB space. Microsoft with its MS CRM is well poised for a major push in the SMB arena, while Intuit is leveraging its impressive SB accounting installed base to introduce QuickBase, a SB focused CRM solution. Meanwhile, IBM, Oracle, Peoplesoft, Peachtree (division of Sage) along with others are sharpening their SMB focused enterprise software product-market strategies.
AMI estimates total CRM and SFA related U.S. SMB spending on software licensing during the 12 months ended 2Q 2002 reached $354 million, up 29% from $275 million in 2001, and is expected to grow at a 53% CAGR to almost $2 billion by 2006.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM). The number of SMBs using various ERP/SCM/Enhanced Accounting/MRP solutions grew 24% to 262,000 during the 12 months ended 2Q 2002, according to AMI study –
Manufacturing, Wholesale and Retail being the leading vertical markets. Enhanced Accounting/Financials and MRP are currently the dominant ERP modules deployed in the SMB space.
"SMBs typically derive between 10-20% of their annual revenues from transactions with large (1,000+ employees) sized businesses. This is a compelling business reason for SMBs to plug into the electronic networks established by larger companies," said Dorothy Gryglak, Senior Analyst at AMI. "Conversely, larger enterprises are exerting pressure on SMBs to deploy ERP/SCM as they seek greater visibility into their supply chains. At some point the network effect will become a self sustaining force and drive
ERP/SCM adoption deeper into the SMB market," noted Ms. Gryglak.
The SMB ERP/SCM space has thus far been served by players such as Exact (Macola), PeopleSoft and Great Plains (acquired by Microsoft), but has more recently attracted SAP (with its Business One solution) and J.D. Edwards, among others. According to AMI estimates, total ERP and SCM related US SMB spending on software licensing during the 12 months ended 2Q 2002 was $986
million, up 18% from $836 million in 2001, and is expected to grow at a 23% CAGR to $2.3 billion by 2006.
SMB Market Segmentation. With close to 8 million U.S. SMBs, IT solution providers will need to effectively hone in on appropriate target segments to lower their overall cost of sales to this market for acquiring customers. AMI has segmented the SMB market into 4 distinct and highly actionable "Tiers". Each "Tier" or segment has a distinct profile in terms of firmographics, business process automation affinity and IT sophistication and adoption, which allows marketers to configure their solutions and messages in a manner most relevant to each segment. Further, the distinct demographic profiles of each segment allow for highly targeted marketing. This model has been well received by IT solution providers in targeting high value customers for specific IT solutions.
AMI's SMB segmentation schema identifies businesses in Tier 1 and 2, comprising approximately 30% of all U.S. SMBs, or over 2 million companies, as early adopters of business process automation solutions. These segments typically spend 5-10 times more on IT solutions relative to other segments, and drive 85% of SMB expenditures incurred on business automation software
licensing solutions.

Antonio Brown active for Steelers vs Bengals with sore toe
CINCINNATI (AP) Antonio Brown cautiously ran routes during pregame warmups and is active for the Steelers' game against the Bengals on Monday night.
The NFL's leading receiver missed practice last week with an injured toe. He didn't move full-speed before the game, when he went on the field in full uniform and helmet to run patterns.
The Steelers also had JuJu Smith-Schuster back after missing one game with a hamstring injury, giving Pittsburgh a full set of receivers. Safety Mike Mitchell is inactive for the second time in three games with an ankle injury.
The Bengals are missing linebackers Vincent Rey (hamstring) and Nick Vigil (ankle), leaving them depleted at the position. Receiver A.J. Green is starting after recovering from a mid-week illness.

Gun Club Road resident Gail Mercurio wants a day-care center in her neighborhood and she wrote the Palm Beach County Planning Commission to say she supported a proposal for the construction of such a facility.
Her neighbor, Thomas Moore, is opposed to having the facility in his community. He also wrote the commission.
The commission listened to Mercurio's, Moore's and eight other residents' letters before granting its unanimous approval for a special exception zoning permit for the construction of a suburban West Palm Beach day-care center.
The facility will be built on one-half acre of land on Gun Club Road, east of Military Trail and west of Kirk Road.
Architect Robert A. Bentz, representing petitioners Patrick and Paula Moree, told the commission the area surrounding the proposed site is growing, yet few child-care facilities exist.
"There is, and will continue to be, a tremendous need for facilities such as this," Bentz said.
Bentz told the commission the 4,400-square-foot day-care center and the 10,284-square-foot outdoor activity area will be more than adequately screened, with concrete walls and fencing serving as a buffer between the facility and the neighboring residential community.
The center will provide care for not more than 100 children, ages 6 weeks to 4 years old. It will operate weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
After the commission's decision, Paula Moree said she and her husband looked for two years throughout the county for a site on which to build their day- care center.
"There is a real need in this area," said Moree, who added that she and her husband will run the facility. Construction should begin as soon as they receive the final zoning approval June 23, she said.

I'll begin with what we are opposed to, as this leads on to what we wish to achieve.
Against liberal modernity
The dominant influence on the West is a political theory, liberalism. Liberalism has been around for generations now, gradually bringing society into line with its own first principles.
Liberalism is a radically reductive philosophy. It recognises one supreme good in society, namely individual autonomy. The aim is to have a society of equally autonomous individuals, each one determining his or her own self.
This means that individuals have to be liberated from anything that can't be self-determined.
Our sex is not something that we determine for ourselves. Therefore, under the logic of liberalism, it has to be made not to matter. Liberals have declared masculinity and femininity to be artificial social constructs. They cannot accept a distinction in sex roles between men and women, including a distinction between the roles played by men and women within the family.
Our ethnicity is not something we determine for ourselves. Therefore, liberals cannot identify positively with their own ethnic tradition. Liberals are so oriented to the autonomous individual that they don't have a strong sense of the value of the communities that individuals form, whether these are neighbourhoods, families or nations.
We do not get to determine the basic form of the family. Therefore, liberals want multiple, fluid forms of family life, in which a family is anything we ourselves determine it to be. Liberals do not, for this reason, aim to uphold the traditional family as an ideal.
Nor can liberals aim to uphold moral standards. We do not get to determine for ourselves an objective morality, in which acts are held to be inherently right or wrong. Liberals therefore reject traditional moral codes in favour of the idea that something is made moral if it is freely chosen by the individual (and if it doesn't impede someone else's autonomy).
The overall consequence of adopting individual autonomy as a supreme good is a socially suicidal one. It provides no basis in principle for the defence of any existing community, culture, people or tradition.
Resisting liberalism
What would it take to make a community or a tradition viable?
The most important thing would be to reject the idea that individual autonomy, or any other single good, can work as an organising principle of society. Reality is too complex and multi-layered for this.
A traditionalist movement would aim to reassert the truth that sex distinctions are natural, that our manhood and womanhood are inseparable to our sense of identity, that there are positive ideals of masculinity and femininity, and that men and women stand in a mostly complementary relationship to each other.
A traditionalist movement would also seek to uphold a culture of family life, in which the conditions for family formation were deliberately encouraged, in which motherhood was recognised as vital to a community and as a worthwhile focus of a woman's life, and in which a distinctly masculine role for men within the family was upheld as an ideal (and was not undermined by the state).
A traditionalist movement would act to preserve existing communities. This might mean acting to preserve the valued character of local communities or suburbs. In this country it could also include a commitment to the Anglo-Australian tradition, at least among those who identify with it.
These are some of the larger aims of a traditionalist movement. The more immediate aim of Eltham Traditionalists is simply to get organised. It's a temptation to think that whatever is wrong will be put right by someone already in a position of authority. This isn't likely to happen as the Australian political class is firmly committed to liberalism. Nor is it possible to rely on one individual acting alone to put things right. One individual acting alone cannot change a culture or form a more viable community.
What is needed is for people to act together, to show some leadership on these issues within their own communities.

Researcher's Profile
Owen O'Connor, MD, PhD
Dr. O'Connor is a Professor of Medicine and Experimental Therapeutics, and the Director of the Center for Lymphoid Malignancies, and Co-Program Director of the Lymphoid Development and Malignancy Program in the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University Medical Center.
Dr. O'Connor attained his PhD in Biochemistry and Toxicology from the New York University School of Medicine. Following his Ph.D. training he completed a post-doctoral research fellowship in Chemical Engineering. He then went on to attain his MD from The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, followed then by a residency in Internal Medicine at the NewYork Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Following his residency, he went on to perform his Fellowship in Medical Oncology at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), where he was Chief Fellow, and a Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology at NewYork-Presbyterian HospitalWeill Cornell. In 2000, Dr. O'Connor was appointed to the faculty at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where he was the Head of the Laboratory of Experimental Therapeutics for the Lymphoproliferative Malignancies.
After nearly a decade at MSKCC, Dr. O'Connor assumed a number of leadership positions at prestigious institutions in New York City, including being appointed Chief of the Lymphoma Service, and Co-Director of the Program for Lymphoid Biology and Development at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center; and Chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology, and Deputy Cancer Center Director at the New York University Medical Center. Most recently, Dr. O'Connor has accepted a position to create a new Center devoted to the Lymphoid Malignancies at Columbia University. In early 2012 he was appointed Professor of Medicine and Experimental Therapeutics, and Director of the newly formed Center for Lymphoid Malignancies at the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.
Over the past two decades, Dr. O'Connor has become an international authority on the management of Hodgkin Lymphoma and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, as well as the development of novel drugs for the treatment of these diseases. To date, he has pioneered the development of three new drugs approved for the treatment of lymphoma, and collaborated with national and international colleagues on many others. Working in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), he was the first to identify the activity of bortezomib (Velcade), a novel class of drugs targeting the proteasome, in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, which eventually led to bortezomib becoming the first drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this disease in 2006. He has since developed new treatment regimens integrating bortezomib into the treatment of lymphoma, and conducted the first in human studies of second generation proteasome inhibitors, like carfilzomib. In collaboration with investigators at MSKCC, he conducted the first in human studies of vorinostat, which became the first histone deacetylase inhibitor ever approved for the treatment of cancer in 2005. Vorinostat (Zolinza) was approved in 2005 for the treatment of patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
More recently, he both co-invented and developed pralatrexate (Folytn), which became the first drug ever approved for patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2009. Pralatrexate has now been approved for patients in many countries around the world, including Asia. Because of his efforts in developing 2 new drugs approved in T-Cell lymphoma, the Center has developed a unique expertise in treating those rare and complicated diseases, caring for one of the largest populations of T-Cell lymphoma patients in the country. In addition to these drugs, he has recently filed a number of new patents with colleagues at Columbia University on an exciting new class of drugs that target 'master regulators' of cancer cell behavior, which includes NF-kB.& These agents appear active against many cancers including lymphoma, breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Presently, Dr. O'Connor is now leading several international studies, many of which are the largest studies ever conducted in various sub-types of lymphoma. His focus is to develop safer drugs that selectively target the unique biology of the cancer cell, all in an effort to minimize the toxic effects of existing chemotherapy treatments. In addition to his efforts in clinical research, Dr. O'Connor runs a laboratory focused on the discovery and development of new drugs for the treatment of lymphoma. His laboratory has developed novel mouse models to accelerate the translation of new discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic. He is widely recognized as an international authority on how to translate novel scientific concepts into patient care.
Dr. O'Connor has published over 200 articles, book chapters and reviews on the management of lymphoma, and has been recognized for his achievements in pioneering new treatments for patients with lymphoid malignances. He is presently a Senior Editor for Clinical Cancer Research, and Editor in Chief of the journal Lymphoma, Myeloma and Leukemia, and serves as a reviewer for every major journal in the field. He is a member of several important advisory boards, serving on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Lymphoma Research Foundation; is President of the Alese Coco Fight to Win Foundation, focused on helping patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma; is a member of the National Cancer Institute Committee (NCI) on Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma; and is a member of the Lymphoma Committee in the Southwestern Oncology Group (SWOG).
In addition, he has been the recipient of numerous awards including: The Ellen B. Glapsy Award from the Lymphoma Research Foundation; the Collaborator Award from the American Cancer Foundation; The William Guy Forbeck Scholar Award; and a Research Scholar Award from the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Recently he was recognized by the Irish Government as one of the 'Top 50 Irish Americans in Science and Medicine' in the US, and was honored by being appointed to the Museum of Irish American History in Washington D.C. Dr. O'Connor is also recognized by US News & World Reports, which recognizes physicians rated as in the top 1% of professionals in the field by their peers.

Discussion in 'Asia' started by onedomino, Dec 31, 2004.
I'm glad to see the aid will be so much. It seems like things are getting worse and worse there. I thought I heard this morning (I was half asleep) that there was a big aftershock,but no more damage yesterday or today. It looks like the relief is starting to roll in a little more. Yesterday I saw they recieved badly needed body bags(how grim). I hope the media doesn't drop this story too quick.I think as long as it stays on top,Red Cross donations will continue to roll in as well.

text: Okay, explain this one. Hasbro can reissue the GI Joe Toys for a decent price,almost the same as the original price 25 years ago, but every time Hasbro or Takara reissues a Transformer the price is friggin outrageous. WHY??? Going by Transformer reissue prices, I'd guess this HISS tank should be around $64.99 or higher. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS15226&mode=retail Why do we have to pay $100 or more for Encore Omega Supreme when the Joe fans get to pay almost the same prices as they did 25 years ago?
