The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has reinstated the 2010 Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act and reversed a lower court's ruling that had declared the law unconstitutional. In the first prosecution of its kind after the anti-crush law passed, two people in Texas were charged with creating and distributing videos that involved horrific acts of sexualized animal cruelty. However, the District Court held that the law, referred to as Section 48, was unconstitutional, violating the First Amendment.
The Fifth Circuit held that the law is constitutional as it only proscribes unprotected obscenity, and noted that Congress "has a significant interest in preventing the secondary effects of animal crush videos, which promote and require violence and criminal activity" and is justified in cracking down on "wanton torture and killing that, as demonstrated by federal and state animal-cruelty laws, society has deemed worthy of criminal sanction."
Jonathan Lovvorn, senior vice president of Animal Protection Litigation for The Humane Society of the United States said, "We applaud the court's decision to reinstate this important legislation. Without it, countless animals could be subjected to intentional torture for sick entertainment and profit."
Former Congressman Elton Gallegly (R-Calif.), a primary author of the law said, "I am delighted that the court has ruled that there is no First Amendment defense for malicious abuse of animals. I am grateful to my colleagues in Congress and to The Humane Society of the United States for working so hard to get this right and to strengthen our federal anti-cruelty laws."
Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), a member of the Congressional Animal Protection Caucus and co-author of the law banning animal torture videos, said, "Animal torture videos are heinous and completely unacceptable. This significant ruling will prevent disturbing animal torture and killing, and punish individuals who profit from these acts of animal cruelty. I'm proud to work with the Humane Society of the United States to protect animal welfare through common-sense and humane laws like this one."
The HSUS submitted an amicus brief in 2013 in support of the United States and was represented by the firm Latham Watkins LLP and by attorneys in its Animal Protection Litigation section.
Congress recently upgraded federal law prohibiting dogfighting and cockfighting, and has made it a felony to knowingly bring a minor under the age of 16 to an animal fighting spectacle, and a federal misdemeanor to knowingly attend a fight as a spectator.

As we mentioned above, the game features some memorably intense combat sequence, and you'll find yourself dealing with some situations that you've never dealt with before. While there are the seemingly requisite sniping and vehicle-based sequences (the latter are not as annoying as in previous games), you'll also have to deal with a lot more surprise ambushes from enemies in trees and, in the case of one level, trapdoor spider holes. It may not seem like much at first, but when you're getting peppered by an enemy sniper hiding in a far-off palm tree you'll quickly learn to check your surroundings even when you've taken out every baddie on the ground.
Although the enemies in World at War can more than hold their own in combat -- especially in the tougher difficulty levels -- the AI has an annoying tendency to lose its virtual mind from time to time. There were a number of moments in which our foes would find themselves caught out in the open and freeze as soon as a shot was fired their way. However, once they are fully entrenched they are tough to get at, intelligently laying down suppressing fire and tossing grenades at your squad. While playing on the Hardened difficulty we found ourselves using smoke grenades more often than in Call of Duty 4, particularly when dealing with elevated MG nests.
One of the biggest knocks against CoD4 was the fact that there wasn't any co-op action. World at War addresses this, allowing up to four players to play together both cooperatively and competitively. While we certainly enjoy teaming up with our buddies, we derived the most satisfaction from stealing kills out from under their noses in the competitive arena. As in Halo 3, you'll be able to collect modifiers as you progress through the single-player campaign, and these so-called death cards will do everything from making enemies explode after headshots to allowing players to revive their downed buddies by shooting them. The competitive co-op is an absolute blast and, amazingly, gives the game even more replay value than CoD4.
Of course, the reason we're still talking about CoD4 over a year after its release is because of its robust, addictive multiplayer offerings. World at War's competitive multiplayer is nearly identical to that of its predecessor, although there have been some tweaks here and there. The best addition is the War gametype (which first made an appearance in Treyarch's Call of Duty 3), and we have a feeling that it'll soon be the most-played competitive mode. There are a lot of things to like about the multiplayer, not the least of which are the attack dogs that can be unleashed when your kill streak is high enough. Despite all of the new perks, weapons, and maps this still feels a lot like CoD4's online game, which certainly isn't a bad thing.
Call of Duty: World at War is strikingly similar to CoD4 in many ways, while offering enough variety to recommend it to anyone who might be growing tired of last year's game. Although the campaign storyline isn't nearly as engaging as the one seen in CoD4, there should be enough memorable set pieces and intense sequences to keep you riveted throughout. The addition of a co-op mode brings a great deal of replay value to the proceedings, especially once you start throwing the death cards into the mix. Ultimately, it's the multiplayer and co-op action that will keep us coming back for more, at least until the inevitable release of another Call of Duty game next year.

Placencia beach feels like an island but is actually a long narrow peninsula in the Stann Creek District of Belize. Here visitors will find the second largest barrier reef in the world and some of the most spectacular beaches on the planet. This is an area that is familiar with dealing with tourists and so there is plenty to keep the visitor entertained. The water around the peninsula is crystal clear and stepping into the water is like getting into a warm bath.
You will often hear it said that Placencia Beach is one of the real undiscovered jewels of the Caribbean. This may have been true a few years ago, but it seems that these days the area is becoming very popular. Despite the rise in tourism though it remains a beautiful part of the world and will provide a holiday experience that few will ever forget. The best time to visit is probably from January to May, but tourists can be found there throughout the year.

The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary:
Behold the handmaid of the Lord: Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
And the Word was made Flesh: And dwelt among us.
Saint Clement I, Pope & Martyr
Optional Memorial
November 23rd
Giovanni Battista Tiepolo
Pope Saint Clement Adoring the Trinity
1737-38 -- Oil on Canvas
Alte Pinakothek, Munich
Pope Clement I also known as Clement of Rome, is the first of the successors of St. Peter of whom anything definite is known, and he is the first of the "Apostolic Fathers". His feast is celebrated November 23. He has left one genuine writing, a letter to the Church of Corinth, and many others have been attributed to him.
According to Tertullian, writing c. 199, the Roman Church claimed that Clement was ordained by St. Peter (De Praescript., xxxii), and St. Jerome tells us that in his time "most of the Latins" held that Clement was the immediate successor of the Apostle (De viris illustr., xv). St. Jerome himself in several other places follows this opinion, but here he correctly states that Clement was the fourth pope.
(Principal source - Catholic Encyclopedia - 1913 edition )
Almighty ever-living God,
who are wonderful in the virtue of all your Saints,
grant us joy in the yearly commemoration of Saint Clement,
who, as a Martyr and High Priest of your Son,
bore out by his witness what he celebrated in mystery
and confirmed by example what he preached with his lips.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. +Amen.
First Reading: 1 Peter 5:1-4
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. Tend the flock of God that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory.
Gospel Reading: Matthew 16:13-19
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

First, Shaq drops 45 points on Chris Bosh's cranium on Friday night. Then, CB4 throws up the biggest asterisk he can think of, complaining that the Diesel didn't really crack him because he was actually "cheating."
"He was just camping down in the lane," Bosh said. "I mean, if they're not calling three seconds – I thought it was a rule, but I guess not."
Bosh should realize that you can't go at O'Neal like that without him coming back with something much more clever (and more insulting) than the original comment. I've been laughing ever since reading the Diesel's response.
"I heard what Chris Bosh said, and that's strong words coming from the RuPaul of big men," O'Neal said. "I'm going to do the same thing (in their next meeting) I did before – make him quit. Make 'em quit and complain. It's what I do."
Unfortunately for us, the Raps and Suns won't meet again this year. They don't have any more games slated on the regular season schedule, and there's no way in hell that they'll play in the Finals.

The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro, also known as Basilique de Notre Dame de la Paix de Yamoussoukro, is one of the largest Christian Churches in the world. Situated in Yamoussoukro, the administrative capital of
The lavishly built basilica sits in the middle of the African bush. The cost of the basilica doubled the national debt of Cote d'Ivoire.
The basilica is modeled after and bigger than Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Rome Italy. The basilica boasts a dome measuring 149 m (489 ft) in height and can hold 18,000 worshipers inside and 300,000 on the esplanade. The former president of Côte d'Ivoire, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, is officially reported to have paid at his own expense the nearly $150 million cost of the church's rapid construction (1986-1989).

When There's Peace, And Love Within! - Poem by William Clark
When love spills out of the heart, peace rushes in , where there's
peace, and love within! When confronting another individual with
peace, then love return, when there's peace, and love within! When
peace is lived love rushes within tenfold; when there's peace and
love, within! There for went servicing another in time of needs;
then love and peace is restored tenfold; when there's peace, and
love within! To reflect ones on moral standard give rise to self
esteem, and motivation to those whom watches he's day to day
routine, when there' peace and love within! However, when
peace and love is point in the same direction, obstacle fall as peace
paves a widen path for love to travel upon to service other in time
need, When There's peace, and Love Within!

Wanda Crowned
Miss TUSKany 2010!
Wanda receives an elephant's version of a crown after being voted Ms. TUSKany 2010 at this year's Elephant Grape Stomp 'n' Chomp. PAWS' co-founder Ed Stewart presents her with an edible swag and bouquet. All runner-ups received edible bouquets. This benefit for the PAWS animals is held each year on the third Saturday in October, and is one of the few times each year when the public is invited to visit the ARK 2000 sanctuary.
Amazing Things Happened
By Kim Gardner
Please forgive me some metaphorical references, but this year's One and Only Elephant Grape Stomp 'n' Chomp was memorable in so many ways. I simply can't let this Parade Pass Us By.
We Think We Can...We Think We Can...We Think We Can
A few months ago Pat Derby had a vision about making PAWS event experiences more accommodating to our guests. So, a scant few weeks before the event, she asked Ed Stewart to lead a volunteer crew to install over 2,500 feet of permanent, decorative, security fencing from ARK 2000's interior gate, weaving a path through the Lion, Tiger and Bear (Oh, my!) habitats. This year's guests strolled the Road Less Traveled at their leisure, visiting with docents, sampling wine and munching on delicious treats before catching shuttles to Bull Mountain. The adventure was a big hit!
Sincere appreciation goes to Devra Lewis and her Blue Mountain Shuttle team for more than six years of donating their services to our events.

2010 Elephant Grape Stomp festivities, click here.
This year's event also marked the first ARK 2000 public appearance for Sheba and the ADI-rescued Bolivian lions, as well as PAWS' bears Winston and Boo Boo. The bears were moved from our Galt Sanctuary to their new Bob Barker-built habitat on the Monday before the Grape Stomp event.
It's Good To Be 12 Feet Tall
Arriving one month prior to the Grape Stomp, Asian elephant Sabu captured the hearts of everyone who caught a glimpse of his amazing presence atop Bull Mountain. Never one to let 'em keep ya' down, the Unsinkable Pat Derby, only two days after "graduating" cancer treatments, served as Sabu's special docent, charming guests with her amazing life stories (see photo, above right). Pat, herself, looked 12 feet tall that day!
Adorning Pachy-Beauties
and Cuties
The second annual Ms. TUSKany Pageant was a frolic. The event was made even more fun with the appearance of Miss Calaveras 2010 and her court roaming through TUSKany Village rallying votes. (Pictured right: Princess Rebecca Gilbert, left, and Miss Calaveras 2010 Rebecca Fischer, right.) When the competitive dust cleared, Wanda was crowned Ms. TUSKany 2010, with Mara voted first runner-up. Last year's winner, Maggie, graciously handed over the title to Wanda. Each elephant received a unique ele-edible swag, lovingly created by a team of PAWS volunteers. Hail To Thee Ms. TUSKany!
2010 Ms. TUSKany Pageant, click here.
The Daze of Wine and Pasta!
Thank you to each of the regional wineries that participated in this event, and to Jeff Newland and his Il Fornaio chefs. They have filled our plates and glasses with scrumptious offerings for many years. This event would not happen without their continued, generous, and delicious support.
Evident not only in their 26 years of leadership, but also in their compassionate vision and amazing accomplishments, PAWS' founders, Pat Derby and Ed Stewart, inspire each of us every day to keep going, and to never give up on the dream of a better world for captive wildlife.
So as the saying goes: The difficult will take some time. . . the impossible, just a while longer.
Ed Stewart visits with Mara, Ruby, Maggie and Lulu.

And finally, a special thank you to everyone who volunteered to help with our fence project, and to all PAWS' docents, staff and volunteers.

1913 . 2008'
This then is the grave of Albert Cossery, although it's really just a slab of concrete that appears to be waiting, and I assume it's just been more or less waiting like this since Cossery died almost six years ago. There's just the plaque and a few tributes left by friends and/or admirers:
Albert Cossery was one of my fascinating literary discoveries of last year, whose existence I learned of in Frédéric Beigbeder's Premier bilan aprés l'apocalypse, in which he lists one hundred books to be saved from a literary apocalypse. One of these is Cossery's Les Couleurs de l'infamie (1999), his last novel. Beigbeder mentions the people Cossery knew, such as Sartre and Beauvoir, Vian, Camus, Genet, Henry Miller, etc, and says he often used to sit on the terrace of the Bar du Marché and watch Cossery going into La Louisiane, the hotel he lived in for sixty years, (and where he died at the age of 94).
Elsewhere on this blog I wrote my impressions of Beigbeder's book, and was particularly impressed by what he says here:
'As with all of [Cossery's] books, he praises laziness, condemns the rich with their possessions, and only respects beggars, outsiders, the poor. For him, these are the only free humans. [...] [L]et's stop classing the unemployed as handicapped when they are gods!' (My translation.)
Obviously I had to acquaint myself with Cossery's work. I've just read Un complot de saltimbanques (1975) to begin, and shall be posting my impressions of this amazing novel tomorrow.
ADDENDUM: I'm unsure about that pot pansy: in French the word for the flower is pensée, which also means 'thought': but the person who put it there presumably didn't know that Cossery couldn't stand flowers, and according to his biographer Frédéric Andrau there wasn't a single one at his funeral.
Frédéric Andrau: Monsieur Albert: Cossery, une vie
Albert Cossery: Proud Beggars
Albert Cossery: A Splendid Conspiracy
Albert Cossery: The Colors of Infamy

For most of the 18th century, all but the last 17 years in fact, New York operated under the Union Jack as a royal British colony. Unlike some other American colonies, which had been founded for religious ideals or other high-minded purposes, the city was seen from the start as a place to make a buck.
Having been settled by the Dutch as a trading post, and conquered not long after by the British in 1664, it had grown into a rough-and-tumble seaport, congregating densely around the lower tip of Manhattan. So port-dependent was the city, as the 18th century began, that it was more apt to expand into the East River and Hudson River by landfill than to push northward. Taverns, inns, dry dock repair shops and brothels catered to the needs of the transient seamen, who hailed from five continents and spoke more than 40 languages. New York was then also notoriously hospitable to pirates, smugglers and privateers who could outfit their ships and select crews from the out-of-work mariners and adventurous hooligans who hung around the waterfront. Captain Kidd, the famous buccaneer, lived on Pearl Street in lower Manhattan. Though Kidd was captured and hanged in 1701 as an object lesson because he robbed ships other than French and Spanish (legitimate targets because they were the enemies of England), merchants and other respectable speculators continued to invest in privateering expeditions — the oceanic equivalent of sanctioned highway robbery.
The population consisted mostly of middle-class tradesmen, their families and the working poor; but already there were extreme income disparities between the upper 5%, who controlled most of the wealth, and the vast majority. Land grants were given to the wealthier families, who settled estates uptown and leased their lots downtown to the working population. The British were intent on anglicizing the colony as much as possible, both by privileging the Anglican Church and English exports, and by diminishing the Dutch influence. The proudly patrician Dutch families continued to assert an aristocratic claim in New York society, but in time they too assimilated, spoke English and inter-married with the newcomers.
What was the city like then? Imagine handsome brick houses trimmed in stone gracing streets crowded and dirty, with wild pigs and feral dogs foraging for scraps; bewigged pedestrians who had to look sharp or get trampled by horses or step into fecal puddles (no sewer system yet); fires and epidemic diseases sweeping periodically through neighborhoods, thanks to the lack of a reliable water delivery system; British redcoats drilling in Bowling Green; and abundant oysters, eaten by everyone, especially the poor.
The economy had been built initially around fur pelts, and then expanded to include shipbuilding, sugar (imported from the West Indies and refined here, then shipped to the mother country, which had developed a sweet tooth), loans and other financial transactions, and import-export of all manner of goods, lumber, flour, linen, human beings. Eighteenth-century New York was right in the middle of the slave trade.
Almost a fifth of the city's population consisted of black slaves, usually one or two to a well-off household, who did heavy labor and domestic chores or trained as skilled artisans; in the outlying farms of Brooklyn, Queens and upstate New York, they performed agricultural work. They may not have had as harsh a life as plantation slaves in the southern states, but some encountered cruel masters and were routinely separated from their families, and all faced unremitting, unrewarded labor. Their owners, ever fearful of slave rebellions such as had erupted in the West Indies and Charleston, tended to panic at the first signs of rowdiness.
The year 1712 witnessed a small flare-up of resistance, and in 1741 there occurred the so-called "Great Negro Plot" when a series of mysterious fires were started, and a conspiracy alleged between black slaves and poor whites (with the fine hand of Roman Catholics and Spanish agents seen in the background) to burn the city. Though the evidence of a full-blown conspiracy remains dubious, there was undoubtedly some arson and pillaging, and in the end over a dozen people were executed, including a hapless Catholic schoolteacher, blamed as the ringmaster because someone had to be. As the century wore on, and abolitionist views from abroad became more vociferous and influential, New York began to wean itself slowly from the keeping of slaves, which in any case had lost some of its economic appeal.
Intellectually and culturally, the city was still quite provincial, taking its cues from the European capitals. But the 18th century saw the establishment of New York's first college, library and theatre, performing Shakespeare among other dramatists; musical societies played Handel and Haydn; merchants had their portraits painted in the style of Gainsborough and Reynolds; and several lively competing newspapers started up. The New-York Weekly Journal, edited by John Peter Zenger, got into trouble with the authorities for criticizing the British governor, who tried to jail Zenger on charges of libel and sedition. Zenger's lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, convinced the jury that truth trumped libel, setting an important precedent for freedom of the press.
Enlightenment concepts about the free circulation of ideas and the right to resist tyrannical government, expressed contemporaneously by John Locke in England and Denis Diderot, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Marquis de Condorcet in France, began to percolate within the larger cities on this side of the Atlantic, such as Boston, Philadelphia and New York. When George III decided to milk the American colonies with various new taxes to pay for England's expanding empire, the stage was set for an opposition to the British Crown that would culminate in the War for Independence.
The role that New York played in the American Revolution, leading up to and during the war itself, was ambiguous and contradictory. On the one hand, some of the earliest street protests sprang up in the streets of New York, with angry mobs led by seamen rampaging against the authorities. The American seaman, epitomized as "Jack Tar," was particularly incensed by the practice of impressment, whereby soldiers would swoop down on taverns and other places where able-bodied mariners might congregate, and seize them for naval service. (The British Navy was undermanned because too many seamen had been signing onto privateer ships, lured by the promise of plundered treasure). Support for greater independence also came from civic groups such as the Sons of Liberty, which erected a liberty pole and defended the principle of no taxation without representation.
On the other hand, the New York merchants, especially the well-off ones, did most of their business with England, and were inclined toward Tory politics, conservative and loyal to the crown. They were most interested in keeping their trade options open. Just as they had only tepidly supported the British effort in the French and Indian War, since the New York merchants conducted a good deal of business with the French in Montreal, so now they feared an interruption of trade, as local patriots agitated for a boycott of British goods until the new taxes were rolled back.
On their part, the British had long appreciated the strategic geographical importance of New York, and had made it their base of operations during the French and Indian War. In no other American colony had they poured so many resources and so much manpower.
It was inevitable, once fighting broke out, that the British would do all they could to hold onto New York. And indeed, they threw an impressive display of sea power and armed troops at the port. Several key engagements were fought here, including the battles of Brooklyn, Harlem Heights and Fort Washington. George Washington, the commanding general, knew he would probably be outmanned and forced to cede the city, but it was necessary at least to put up a good fight, which his raw American troops did, before prudently retreating.
The British retook possession of New York in 1776, placing it under martial law, and established it as the headquarters for the entire British army and the political center of operations in North America. Until the very end of the Revolutionary War, when the British evacuated the city in 1783, New York remained a British stronghold, where the redcoats paraded, drilled, held balls, drank and romanced the local women. Meanwhile, American colonists loyal to the British crown poured into New York, more than doubling its original population. Two damaging, suspicious fires occurred, some say set by pro-independence guerrillas; but in general New York society adjusted quite well to occupation by the enemy.
Perhaps the sense of mistrust that the country has long felt toward New York City began then. Or perhaps it was engendered shortly after the Revolutionary War, when Alexander Hamilton, New York's representative to the Continental Congress and first secretary of the Treasury, argued for a more centralized federal government and against the states' powers, at the same time as he set up the first American bank and became the spokesman for New York banking and mercantile interests. New York was already mistrusted by Jeffersonian agrarians as urban, and doubly so as capitalism's playground. It also had a reputation for dissipation and loose morals.
In any case, when it came time to pick a permanent seat for the national government, and New York seemed a logical choice (having already served as temporary capital), the southern states strongly objected. In 1790 Hamilton offered a compromise, whereby it was agreed that the federal government would absorb the debts incurred by the states while fighting the war (a proposition greatly in the northern states' interests, but not the south's), in return for the capital being established southward near the Potomac, in the buggy, marshy terrain that would become Washington, DC. By rejecting New York as the national capital, the country also did the city a favor, leaving it free to pursue its destiny as the fleet, opportunistic incubator of commerce, media and ideas, unencumbered by bureaucracy's heavy hand or marmoreal architectural monumentality.
During the early years of the Republic, New York continued to welcome newcomers from the other states and immigrants from abroad. The city's population swelled and, not coincidentally, its real estate became more expensive; rents went high and stayed high. A securities market was established at the Tontine Coffee House, the first incarnation of what would become Wall Street. Taking advantage of its deep, secure harbor and its connections to the interior, as well as its growing army of lawyers, insurers and investors, New York at last pulled decisively ahead of Philadelphia and Boston and became the nation's premier city, in size and prosperity. With this expanded wealth came new appetites for luxury goods; European visitors who had expected to sneer were surprised at the elegant, well-appointed houses and fashionable attire of rich New Yorkers, almost the equal of London.
There were still pigs running in the streets, but the city was beginning to clean up its act.

The Fox network did not make the new Dabney Coleman sitcom, "Drexell's Class," premiering tonight at 8:30 (Channel 45), available to critics. Never a good sign.
Another trouble sign: The series has gone through several title changes, among them "Shut Up, Kids" and "Oh, No, Not Drexell."
Mr. Coleman plays a sarcastic fifth-grade teacher with two teen daughters. Look for a lot of putdowns in the classroom.

National survey again names University of Chicago Medical Center as one of the best U.S. hospitals
July 16, 2009
National survey again names University of Chicago Medical Center as one of the best U.S. hospitals
July 16, 2009
John Easton
(773) 702-6241
In its annual survey, U.S.News & World Report selected the University of Chicago Medical Center as one of the best hospitals in the United States.
In the 2009 "Best Hospitals" issue (on newsstands July 21), the magazine ranked 11 Medical Center specialties among the top such programs in the country, up from 10 last year.
Eight programs, digestive disorders (#6), endocrinology (#14), cancer (#17), kidney disease (#17), neurology & neurosurgery (#19), ear, nose & throat (#24), heart & heart surgery (#25), and respiratory disorders (#28), were ranked in the top 30 nationwide. Geriatrics (#34), gynecology (#47) and urology (#48) also scored in the top 50. No Illinois hospital was ranked in more specialties.
"When the stakes are high, you want the best care you can get for someone close to you," said Avery Comarow, health-rankings editor for the magazine. "These are hospitals that are used to getting the sickest patients."
The rankings are based on a mathematical formula that takes into account (1) the ratio between actual and expected mortality at a hospital; (2) a group of factors such as available technology, patient/community services, procedure volume and nursing care, including Magnet status; and (3) the institution's reputation based on a poll of 200 specialists in each field, averaged over three years. These specialists are asked to list "the five hospitals they consider best in their specialty for difficult cases, without taking location or expense into account (or naming your own hospital)."
According to U.S. News, out of nearly 5,000 hospitals evaluated, only 174 met that standard in one or more specialties. Most that did are referral centers, which are accustomed to seeing the toughest patients and conducting bench-to-bedside research that advances the state of the art.
In March, the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine was ranked 13th in the U.S.News & World Report "Best Graduate Schools" issue. Over the last five years, Pritzker has been the fastest rising medical school in the top 50.

Hatin' on Cynthia
As mentioned last week, I had second thoughts about the Cynthia McKinney Hatefest that erupted in the wake of her dust-up with the Capitol Police. They were doing this little mantra that some people get into when they're angry at black liberals: "She's a black racist."
Some of y'all may remember the Raqiyah Mays controversy of two years ago. She had a "Waiting to Exhale" moment live on the radio and got fired for it:
My confession this hour is that I'm a racist. I really am. I have a problem with white people. Not all white people, but a lot of white people. I can't tell if they are being real with me or not. And then I hate when the black guy is walking down the street with the white girl. I hate both of them. C'mon, there's a man shortage.Perhaps not the most eloquent way to express it, but Miss Mays was talking about a serious social problem in the black community. Raqiyah says she wants white people to "be real" with her, but there's a trust issue -- she wonders if they're fronting on her. And she's feeling rejected, OK?
Everybody says they want open and honest discussion of these kinds of issues but ... well, just try it and see what happens, OK? Try being Michael Graham and doing an "open and honest discussion" about terrorism. Try being Rush Limbaugh, suggesting that sportswriters are not immune to liberal media bias.
Anyway, I well remember when Sean Hannity had Miss Mays on his radio show and was doing his trademark bully-boy thing on Raqiyah. I paraphrase from memory:
RAQIYAH: Well, Sean, you see, I ....
HANNITY: Racist!
RAQIYAH: No, I mean ...
HANNITY: Racist!
RAQIYAH: Look, Sean, you've got to understand ...
HANNITY: Racist! Racist! Racist!
This is only a slight exaggeration, folks, and I don't mean to say that Sean is not a great American or anything but .... It's Lent, OK? And I know Sean is a devout Catholic. He probably didn't mean to be so uncharitable and unsympathetic to a woman with whose personal situation he was unfamiliar. (For all I know, Sean and Raqiyah are actually best buddies, and their confrontational radio match-up was just an act, like pro wrestlers screaming at each other on TV.)
Having gone through my own trials as Token Villain of the Day -- hi, Duncan! hello, Heidi! -- when I heard the Sean-Raqiyah shout-fest in 2004, I got angry. I really did. And I was angry at Sean for trying to reduce a complex problem to a simple label, "racist." This has become an all-purpose epithet that is applied so haphazardly nowadays as to be meaningless. It's used to describe everyone from Aryan Nations killers to ... well, Sean Hannity. (I'm getting 318,000 hits with that combination, which may or may not mean that Sean is 500 times more "racist" as Stacy McCain. Or maybe he's just more famous for it. We report. You decide.)
So now, back to our old friend Cynthia McKinney. Lovely woman who was having a bad hair day, was late for a meeting in the Capitol, wasn't wearing her ID, got stopped after blowing past the metal detectors, etc. And like I said before, the minute I heard about this incident, a clock started ticking in my head -- and I'm sure I wasn't the only one -- waiting for Cynthia to play the race card. It was a lead-pipe cinch.
I had my fun telling the story of how I go back 15 years with "Jihad Cindy," and linked up to a lot of others getting in their shots. What I never did, however, was demonize her as a "black racist." Just as when people have smeared Sean, Rush, Michael Graham, Michelle Malkin, David Horowitz, Peter Brimelow or any number of other conservatives as "racist," this ugly label is a stumbling block, an obstacle to understanding. We ought to avoid it, where possible.
Sensible, serious people should treat the "r-word" like they treat the "n-word," a hateful insult which only hurts and harms. (It's OK for Chris Rock to use it, though, just like I don't mind Jeff Foxworthy doing his redneck jokes. Great idea for Comedy Central: Have Jeff and Chris switch material, so that Chris is the one doing the redneck jokes, etc. Boffo, baby!)
What Cynthia McKinney went through last week, I was going through myself. (Ned Flanders Alert!) Friday evening, I grabbed my Bible and found myself reading in Psalm 69:
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away. O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. …
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. Deliver me … let me be delivered from them that hate me. … Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
Go read the whole thing. Heh.
Now that was the valley, and that was my prayer, and TBogg, who apparently didn't get his secret decoder ring, missed what I was talking about when I mentioned those "far more powerful than I," whose assistance I was promised. For when the Psalmist uses the expression "Lord of hosts" … well, hosts of what? Angels, TBogg -- companies, battalions, regiments, divisions, corps, yea, verily: mighty armies of angels.
And then last night, I clicked on Drudge and saw that Ann Coulter's next book is GODLESS: THE CHURCH OF LIBERALISM. "Therefore it became a proverb, Is Ann also among the prophets?"
A mighty work is at hand, dear brothers. I do not jest. I'm here to testify and to bear witness -- amazing things are happening. I keep trying to tell Duncan, Heidi and the gang that I do not hate them. I'm like Joseph: You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good. I was chastised for my folly and sin, which were never hidden from God. And now every day I'm seeing the blessings, the tender mercies, the "angels unawares."
So … you're hating on Cynthia? Come on, Sean, is anyone beyond salvation? Is there any sinner so wretched as to be exempt from God's grace? It's Holy Week, Sean. Time for prayer, dear brother. I know you're a Great American, but can't you be a Great Christian, too? Even toward Sister Cynthia? Let us sing:
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Sean, call Max. Let's pass the offering plate, then we'll go eat a big supper on the grounds at Big Springs Baptist: fried chicken, turnip greens, fried squash, sliced fresh tomatos, fried okra, iced tea and pecan pie.
-- McCAIN
Proverbs 22:29

Thunderbolt users have had to deal with a lot of strife, even before they owned their Thunderbolt waiting for its release. First it was the long awaited launch, then we had some serious 3G/4G handoff issues making battery even worse and the network went down halting sales of 4G devices. And how can I forget those dreaded reboots. Right when you're about to send that text or finish reading that article: BOOM. No more Thunderbolt and we get to watch those blue clouds during a 3 minute reboot. All of these reasons are why I have become fed up with Verizon and rooted, but that's another story. Our friends over at Android And Me snagged a screenshot of a new update briefing with several exciting things on the list.
Not only are we getting a radio fix which should take care of those pesky reboots, but Android 2.3.4 is on board as well. This means that Talk with video will be included as well making the Thunderbolt a part of an exclusive bunch of phones. Skype with video, better aGPS functionality, and if that wasn't enough they took the time to pre-install Amazon App Store for us. Maybe Verizon feels like they should make it up to us Thunderbolt users for all of the problems we have had to deal with over the months…or this may just be a "timely update". Either way it should be coming and that's exciting news no matter the reason. June 30th is the rumored date for the update, but do we ever actually get updates when we're supposed to? Not to mention Verizon hasn't made an official statement so I wouldn't hold my breath. Stay tuned to thedroidguy.com for more updates on this update, no pun intended.

Oh Walt Whitman! This famous poem was popularised by the notorious film "Dead Poets Society", in concrete by the literature teacher, Mr. Keating (Robin Williams). This first lines of the poem were a symbol in the film, but we desire to know more, not just the first verse. For that reason, today I'm giving an overview and analysis of the full poem, and of the life of its already mentioned author, Walt Whitman.
Photograph taken by Brandy Handy
Walt Whitman (WW) was born in New York in 1819 and dead in New Jersey in 1892. He was a writer, a journalist and a poet between many more occupations. He still is one of the most influential writers in the U.S. and he is considered to be the father of the free verse. His more famous work is Leaves of Grass, published in 1855, where he included the poem that we are going to talk about.
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
But I with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
This ode has constant metaphors, so we could even talk of an allegory. The Captain is Abraham Lincoln, the U.S. ex-president that freed the slaves. The whole poem has a solemn tone since Whitman complains and is hurt because of Lincoln's death. And the ex-president is a Captain because the ship he is commanding is the United States. However, before the captain's death ("My father does not feel my arm"), he has left the U.S. in a good situation ("The ship is anchor'd safe and sound"). WW is so bereaved that he repeats five times the word "heart", to emphasize were does all the pain come from, also reiterating the tremendous pain of the author. Finally, this idea is confirmed by the repetition at the end of each strophe "Fallen cold and dead".
I hope that now you understand better this little poem, and beginning by this one, start to give poetry the value that it has. Read you soon!

I know there's nothing in the world that's worse than jogging, but this might motivate you to give it another try. Maybe. Probably not.
According to a new study out of Iowa State University, every hour that you run adds seven hours to your life. Now, you just blew an hour on running, so I guess your net is six hours, but the authors of the study didn't look at it that way.
And you don't even have to run six-minute miles to increase your lifespan. They say that even if you're just jogging super slowly, you'll still get the health benefits.
There's a cap, though: Running can "only" add about three years to your life.
So if you add seven hours to your life per run, that means you'd need to go on about 3,750 runs to hit the three-year cap . . . which would mean two one-hour runs per week for 36 years.
Better get started.

Solid Core conductors , made in the same building by the same people , MUCH better premium Lava Silver Wire plugs . Half the price of others out there with much better plugs.
The Lava Soar™ is Lava Cable's official entry into the true high-end guitar cable category. Based on proven high-end guitar cable design principles, the cable features dual 22 AWG 99.99% pure OFC solid copper conductors in a unique configuration, dual layers of tailored shielding, and a rugged outer braid. It comes with highly conductive Lava Silver Wire plugs standard as part of a complete matched plugs-to-cable design.
Durability over flexibility was chosen in the solid-core design and as a result the cable is slightly stiffer than an average stranded cable, but the Lava Soar™ still retains a nice lay and feel. Lava Cable's goal with this cable is to provide same results at nearly half the price of other high end cables in this category. With low capacitance of 29 pF/ft in the sweet spot zone, it provides outstanding detailed frequency response so you can hear your guitar the way it was meant to be heard. Your tone will reach new heights with the Lava Soar™.
This cable is completely Made In the USA
Soar™ Features:
**Unable to guarantee delivery time for "non-stocked" lengths as custom orders would be dependant on Lava Cable's workload, but we'll do our best to get it to you ASAP.

Aperture Labs Hard Hat
For many of you, I realize 60 dollars is an unprecedented windfall, so don't go spending it all on... I don't know. Caroline, what do these people buy? Tattered hats? Beard dirt?
— Cave Johnson
The Aperture Labs Hard Hat is a promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is a white hard hat, sporting a potato-powered miner's light with a team-colored glow and is connected by two insulated orange wires. The side opposite to the potato sports two pieces of grey electrical tape covering an old Aperture Science logo, which can be uncovered via its style.
This hat was awarded to players who had bought the Potato Sack pack or owned all the games from the pack. It first became available with the April 5, 2011 Patch and could be obtained prior to the release of Portal 2. It was also awarded in Genuine quality to players who bought the Potato Sack Reunion.

Pork Chops, Grits with Arugula, Fig & Muscadine Salad
Ever wonder why pork is so often paired with apples or other fruit? It's because the meat has a hint of sweetness that creates an affinity with many fruits. Two late-summer fruits near and dear to Southerners' hearts, figs and muscadines, are among pork's natural partners. A little sugar, salt and vinegar help release their juices and create a dressing for the salad. Peppery arugula and piquant cilantro balance the sweetness.

They still light up the massive cross at night, you've probably seen it driving down i84 in CT. We stopped off here for the first time on the way back from Hudson State in July of 2005. It didn't takes us more than an hour to walk though the entire park. Although the location itself is small and not very easy or fun to photograph, it's rich history, and unique nature warranted a second trip in august if only just to stop by and show Keti. She had a pretty fun time if I remember correctly.

Mr. T has revealed he is "honoured and humbled" to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
The A-Team star will join the likes of the Ultimate Warrior, Carlos Colón, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, Paul Bearer and Lita in the 2014 inductions.
WWE boss Vince McMahon told TMZ.com: "His WWE appearances were instrumental in helping to establish WrestleMania as the pop-culture phenomenon it is today."
Mr. T became involved with WWE in 1985 when he was Hulk Hogan's tag-team partner at the first ever WrestleMania event against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Paul Orndoff, a match which Hogan and Mr. T won.
Both Hogan and Mr. T had previously starred together in Rocky III alongside Sylvester Stallone - T later took part in a special boxing match against Piper at WrestleMania II in 1986.
The 61-year-old, real name Laurence Tureaud, found greatest fame in the role of B.A. Baracus on iconic 1980s TV show The A-Team in a cast that also starred George Peppard and Dirk Benedict.
Hogan will be host of this year's WrestleMania 30 and is considered a favourite to induct Mr. T.
* Watch Wrestlemania 30 LIVE Sunday night from midnight, April 6th on Sky Sports Box Office. WWE return to the UK for live events as part of the Wrestlemania Revenge tour between May 14 and 21

First off, you will not be rejoining the hood in the round; when you get to the top you'll be seaming it. And I know it can be weird to think of turning it around, and it's one of those silly, easy things that's nevertheless hard to explain. Anyway, you don't need to turn your work inside out. Instead, simply take the end of the circular needle that you usually have in your right hand and hold it in your left, and put the normally-left-hand needle in your right. Now you should be looking at the wrong side of your fabric at the needle break. It can be a bit awkward to work the first few rows, until the split gets longer, but it will seem more and more like regular flat knitting the longer you work. Is this helping any more than my previous instruction? I can try to make a video for you, but that will take a few days at least to get ready. :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-87098186822315198672016-02-14T05:00:47.010-08:002016-02-14T05:00:47.010-08:00Typing this on phone so apologies for typos and we...Typing this on phone so apologies for typos and weird snarky tone that it read as...."when I get to marker" do I turn the other way by turning work inside out?

Glad you like the pattern! :) And you work back and forth by simply treating each end of the circular needle as if it's its own needle - basically, you just take out your row marker and turn the work around rather than proceeding in the round when you reach that part.

Now we're going to be working back and forth from the break, although we'll continue to use circular needles. We're going to begin with some decrease rows, as follows:

Decrease Row 1 (wrong side): purl

Decrease Row 2: ssk, knit until you have 2 stitches left in row, k2tog"

- Once I transfer back to the size 10 needle, I am still joined in the round. How do I go from being in the round to knitting back and forth. I tried to look up online, but have not been able to find out any info...Thank you, adorable pattern!

Yes, I am confident the toddler size will fit. :) However, the shape of this hat makes it possible to knit a larger size and still have it fit since it doesn't use a ribbing to hold it in place, and fits more like a hood either way. So if you're worried you could always knit the larger size and let him grow into it a bit!Gretchen Tracyhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-72991154848500461042016-02-10T03:28:36.812-08:002016-02-10T03:28:36.812-08:00This is really cute!

Don't worry, I didn't gauge anything for a really long time either - now I just have to! :) And you can always just cast on face hole stitches based on how big the opening is once it's completed - if you know your gauge and the measurements, you should be able to determine how many to cast on! If you'd prefer some guidance, I apologize, but I still need to know which size you're planning to make, since that determines how long the face opening will be. Again, though, if you wait until that part of the hood is complete and simply measure, you can also calculate it on your own or ask for help then. :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-51349431734996180902015-08-27T16:16:48.227-07:002015-08-27T16:16:48.227-07:00For the yarn I'm using 5 stitches across and 5...For the yarn I'm using 5 stitches across and 5 stitches up is 1 inch. As much as I hate to admit it I've never made a swatch for any knitted item (I know, I know bad Debbie). I usually just use whatever needles size is listed on the label. Most everything I knit is on either 8 or 9's. As for size I'm making this for someone with a big head and a lot of hair. If I'm correct adding 16 stitches at the beginning should give about 2 1/2-3 inches extra that will fit around the head (to make up for not using bulky yarn). firstname.lastname@example.com

Wilkinson's faithfully reproduce chandeliers and glass, working from original drawings or existing designs we have the skills and expertise to use a combination of stock pieces (of which we have one of the largest archives in the world) and newly blown glass.
On the right you can see a reproduction 100% hand cut lead crystal glass biscuit box alongside its broken original. If you think an item can be repaired rather that having a new piece made, make sure to visit our glass repairs page.
On the slider you can see a chandelier that we produced for the Gdansk Museum in Poland. The original was lost during the Second World War and Wilkinson's were asked to recreate the English Georgian chandelier with only one poor image of the original chandelier and one image of a chandelier of similar design to work by. Replica pieces were blown in a specially produced grey tinted lead crystal, as close in colour to the original 18th century crystal as possible and we were able to install the reproduction in February 2012.
Our glass is both blown and cut by skilled British workers using traditional machines and tools,
ensuring the authenticity of each piece that we produce.
Take a look at our portfolio pages to see a number of chandeliers that we have produced previously.

So I set off to find another delicious way to use the sumac that makes a Fattoush (Traditional Middle Eastern Salad) so delicious. You see, I really want you to seek some out and the fact that I just might be a tiny bit smitten to sumac's earthy sourness, well, that might not be enough so, well, will another temptation help? :-)
But what I accidentally happened onto was another contribution to a meze (also spelled mezze and pronounced [MEZ-ay]). It's a happy style of casual eating, a few dishes, full of flavor and texture and -- let's be truthful here -- lots of garlic. Just one meze-style dish we might call an 'appetizer' but with a handful of different dishes, that would be a meal. It's easy to imagine sitting cross-legged on Turkish rugs eating this stuff but in my world, the kitchen table does just fine. A picnic blanket outdoors some fine fall day? That would be heaven.
Other meze-style dishes would be Simple Hummus (homemade, please, and with enough oil to be creamy), Baba Ganoush (the eggplant spread, pronounced [ba-ba ga-NOOSH], a platter of No-Cook Tabbouleh (the couscous salad, pronounced [TAA-boo-lay]) , a few olives, cubes of good feta cheese, perhaps a few thin slices of sausage. OH -- and pita bread, especially if thin and warm and full of whole-grain wholesomeness. (St. Louisans, look for the gorgeous whole-wheat pita from Sanabel Bakery found at Global Foods in Kirkwood.)
CAN THE BEET SALAD STAND ALONE? I was unimpressed by the salad all on its own (and you know me, I'm the "Beet Queen" and usually love beets of all descriptions) but couldn't get enough paired with the yogurt sauce and good pita bread.

RECIPE for BEET SALAD with SUMAC, YOGURT & PITA
Time to table: 15 minutes (if beets are pre-cooked)
Serves 4
BEETS (can be made in advance)
2 cups cooked beets diced small (see TIPS)
2 tablespoons red onion diced small
1 teaspoon sumac
Salt & pepper to taste
YOGURT SAUCE (can be made in advance and gets more garlicky when you do that)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (I used labnah, an extra-thick yogurt)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt & pepper to taste
A few greens
Additional sumac
Pita bread
BEETS Stir together all ingredients. The smaller the dice, the easier it is to scoop up the beets with the pita bread.
YOGURT SAUCE Stir together all ingredients.
TO SERVE Arrange the beet salad on a platter. Place the yogurt sauce in a small bowl alongside, sprinkle with additional sumac. Tear pita bread into pieces and arrange alongside. Dig in!
ALANNA's TIPS & KITCHEN NOTES
This is My Favorite Way to Roast Beets but for this recipe, I was intrigued by Saveur's suggestion to cook the beets in water, using a splash of red wine vinegar to "set the color". I need to try this again a time or two to see how it makes a difference.

OnLive players in the US and UK now have access to the "Five Day Frag Feast". For starters, five day rentals of Red Faction Armageddon and Homefront are completely free when activated before November 28th.
For the main course, there will be daily gaming deals. For dessert is the return of the "buy your first game for $1/£1" deal, albeit in limited supply.
I checked it all out at about 12.30 this morning and it seemed to be up and running.

Red Faction: Armageddon might not be what fans expected and was inferior to it's prequel but it is well worth a rental, especially if said rental is free. Homefront's campaign can be finished in a couple of hours. I'd give it a try if I had access to OnLive.Comment posted on 24/11/2011 at 09:25.

The Plantation Ballroom
The largest and most historic option, it is 3600 sq-ft with 11- foot ceilings, peach walls, white columns and original raised wooden floors. Lining the walls are tall windows, dressed in tapestry valances and burgundy drapes with pastel peach sheers. The ballroom also has a stage and a permanent wet bar. Perfect for a sit-down reception and up to 180 guest for dancing. The guest count can increase to 210 for receptions not needing dance floor space.

The second largest ballroom is approx 1500 sq-ft, with cream walls and windows on three sides. It is dressed with floor to ceiling drapes and features a curved front, 14- foot ceilings and raised wooden floors. The ballroom has a small service kitchen with a pass through wet bar. It is perfect for wedding ceremonies or sit-down receptions for up to 110 guests.
The Victory Chapel
The intimate 700 sq-foot room is a sun-filled delight with windows on three sides, and views of Lake Jackson. It has been chosen for small wedding ceremonies, receptions for 30 and bridal showers. It is perfect for small ceremonies of 20-40 or sit-down receptions for up to 30 guests.
The Fireplace
For that quiet, yet intimate wedding with the bride & groom and 4 guests. The lobby fireplace is a perfect spot to seal your vows.
The Front Veranda
For a small wedding, nothing says romance like the front veranda at sunset! This location can be used for weddings with 10 guests or less.
Nearby Highlands Hammock
For a larger outdoor wedding, schedule with Highlands Hammock State Park and then come to the Kenilworth Lodge for the reception.
