Shopping in Manhattan has become something of a contact sport drained of its leisure and reduced to its essential acquisitive intend. One need only go into H & M on a Saturday to sight a live inspect chew over of the worst traits of Manhattan females: materialism impatience entitlement. Which is why it is refreshing on any day of the week to stroll into the 59th Street Bloomingdale’s fourth-floor ladies’ designer shoe salon. Here everything is orderly. Salesmen wear suits and acknowledge you with a polite deferential nod. Trim middle-aged women wander slowly in pairs mulling over endless iterations of the demure Chanel ballet flat. Plush couches gesticulate. On a recent Wednesday. Frank Guzzone a 10-year veteran of the department was presiding over this scene. He is typical of the city’s luxury shoe salesmen—older (he didn’t give his age but looks to be late sixties) chatty well-schooled on the relative merits and rich history of most brands he sells. Mr. Guzzone considers himself not only a shoe salesman but a psychologist. “You’ve got to act her a bit communicate to her and let her give you vibes of what she wants,” he said of his typical customer whom he describes as youngish in her early 20’s to mid-30’s. “Sometimes she’s carrying a dress with her and wants to match the color. So you tell her. ‘I can show you this gunsmoke apparel that goes with the gunsmoke change.’ You gotta know when to back off when to push it. You have to be sharp.” Mr. Guzzone ordain do practically anything to satisfy his best customers. measure month he sold two pairs of shoes to a woman visiting from Europe. The store does not send shoes to hotels as a rule he said so he had them sent to his own apartment and personally delivered them to the customer at the Towers Suite at the Waldorf (the one they built for F. D. R. he noted so that the former president could flee surreptitiously through a private exit without being seen in his wheelchair). Manhattan is undergoing a luxury apparel renaissance of sorts with sales booming department stores overhauling and expanding their shoe salons and apparel designers gaining cult followings and collaborating with high-profile couturiers. And at the center charged with satiating the prodigious footwear appetite of Manhattan’s richest and most particular women are men like Mr. Guzzone: Throwbacks to another era entirely when shopping was an elegant intimate personalized affair; when there weren’t online designer boutiques and discount chains; and when a woman’s shoe fate each season really was in the hands of her own trusted salesman at her local department store who knew the specific contours of her hoof and sent her a Christmas separate every year. The rarefied shoe departments at Bergdorf. Bloomingdale’s. Saks and to a lesser extent Barneys have remained partially frozen in time—proud holdouts of genteel old-style service in a dying Manhattan service economy. The younger generation after all raised on Payless and ALDO and Zappos com undergo probably never had a apparel salesman place a shoe delicately on their foot while they recline on a articulate and experience nothing of lenient return policies or private rooms where they can be served lunch while deciding which color of $865 Christian Louboutin Knotted Open-Toe Sandal ordain go beat with their new evening change. (Or for that matter of paying full price. ) These four big players in the Manhattan department-store luxury apparel world (Henri Bendel alas has no shoe department) have all remodeled their designer shoe salons adding list and salespeople in the past five years. Saks’ recent announcement that its brand-new designer shoe salon requires its own ZIP code—10022-SHOE—not to mention an express elevator from the cosmetics department was as good a write as any of where shoes be these days in relative importance to a department hold on’s business. “Day in day out the designer apparel salon is the most heavily trafficked area of the hold on with the possible exception of cosmetics,” said Bill Brobston. SVP General Manager of Bergdorf Goodman. “Our customers used to buy their clothing first and then follow it up with their apparel and handbag purchase and that certainly comfort happens to some degree. But frequently since we’ve redone our shoe salon it becomes very much a focal point in the hold on for customers to gather socialize shop together—you probably see more friends shopping together in shoes than in any other area of the store. It’s a very very important part of the business for us. It’s safe to say it’s doubled over the last three years.” Old-school apparel salesmen give the personalized old-style function necessary to sell an inventory of shoes that for all their holes and buckles and synthetic material continue to get more expensive. Ferragamo and Stuart Weitzman recently hiked their prices after updating their designs. At Bloomingdale’s (whose shoe business has posted double-digit increases in the last five years according to VP and divisional merchandise manager Debbie King) high Chanel boots channel $1,450 and a pointy Viktor & Rolf color ankle boot was marked $735. A mid-calf black Burberry boot ($940) had already sold out last week. “The educated shopper knows to come in early for boots,” Mr. Guzzone said with a shrug.

"Cancer: Prevention is the cure (part 1)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:35:11

(NewsTarget) Many people have heard the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. When it comes to cancer this couldn’t be truer. To go out several billion dollars over 30 years have been spent on finding that elusive aid for cancer. What about cancer prevention? It is estimated that a woeful fraction of that amount of money has been spent on cancer prevention. The statistics from the Nutrition Journal state that cancer can be prevented in 30-40 percent of known cases through lifestyle factors such as fast exercise and maintaining a healthy body weight. The 30-40 percent stated as preventable by the Nutrition Journal many in fact be a conservative estimate as suggested by many wellness practitioners. Cancer costs the US 107 billion annually. Finding a cure is costing us a great deal but lack of prevention is costing us more. A analyse based on 238 studies published in the Nutrition Journal conducted by Michael Donaldson for the Hallelujah Acres Foundation has outlined an anti-cancer diet which includes what to eat and what to avoid in order to prevent cancer. The outline of the recommended diet is as follows:• adequate but not excessive calories,• 10 or more servings of vegetables a day including cruciferous and allium vegetables; vegetable juice could meet part of this goal,• 4 or more servings of fruits a day,&bear on; high in fiber,• no refined dulcify,• no refined flour,• low in total fat but containing necessary essential fatty acids,• no red meat,• a balanced ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fats and would include DHA,• flax seed as a source of phytoestrogens,• supplemented with ~200 μg/day selenium,• supplemented with 1,000 μg/day methylcobalamin (B-12),• very rich in folic acid (from dark green vegetables),&bear on; adequate sunshine to get vitamin D or use 1,000 IU/day add,&bear on; very rich in antioxidants and phytochemicals from fruits and vegetables including α-carotene. β-carotene. β-cryptoxanthin vitamin C (from foods) vitamin E (from foods),• very rich in chlorophyll,• supplemented with beneficial probiotics,&bear on; supplemented with oral enzymesWhen you start to change your diet to a diet that is beat of anti-cancer foods you may query why there is so much junk out there and why is it so much cheaper to buy a case of chips vice a bag of organic apples.

"Suing States Over Budgetary Decisions" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:10:48

has an interesting story about the frequency with which state courts side with plaintiffs in lawsuits against California's calculate settlements. In addition to large legal fees for the express these decisions often convey that budget cuts made by the legislature to fit the budget in one year undergo to be paid approve with interest in later years. In the bind. California's Legislative Analyst. Elizabeth Hill is quoted as saying that in 30 years in Sacramento she can't bequeath a single year in which the state was not sued over the calculate. While no doubt our biggest state often has the biggest problems and usually the biggest numbers on everything this statement still surprised me. I am not aware of that much litigation over budget decisions in other states. [Addendum. 10/15/07. Liz forge responded to this post with an email message saying that what she told the reporter "was that I could not think of a time in my more than 30 years that we were not tracking pending litigation for its effect on the budget. This is different than the mouth of her bind and the force of your commentary." I certainly agree that this is different from how the reporter and I paraphrased the remark and defend to Liz for any misinterpretation. Nonetheless the basic point that California appears to experience more calculate litigation than other states appears still seems valid.] When I asked our NCSL budgeting expert. Arturo Perez about the article he said that the California undergo seemed unusual to him too. He asked legislative staffers in the next two largest states. Texas and New York about their experience with litigation over the budget. His contacts in those states both told him that although they have had to deal with lawsuits over school funding spending limits corrections and a few other areas most of the lawsuits have not dealt with the budget process or actions taken by the legislature directly tied to the execution of the calculate. Arturo and I anticipate that California experiences more lawsuits on the calculate not just because of its size complexity and diversity but also because of the initiative affect that has put many constraints on what the governor and legislature can do in writing budgets. We would be interested in hearing from other states on the frequency of lawsuits against the legislature's budget decisions. Please add a comment below or move on "Contact us" in the alter column and send us an e-mail.

Prosecutors could desire 30 years because Masters has a criminal record. Speaking from jail. Masters told the St Louis Post-Dispatch: 'Strong-arm robbery? Over a doughnut? That's impossible.' He admitted he took the pastry but denied touching the employee. 'There's no way I would've pushed a woman over a doughnut,' he said. Masters said he did not even get to apply the doughnut - he threw it away as he fled. Farmington Police Chief Rick Baker said state law treats the shoplifting and assault as forcibly stealing property - and the amount of force and value of the property does not matter.

"And What Have I Been Saying For Years?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 20:27:23

If the members of the American medical establishment were to have a collective find-yourself-standing-naked-in-Times-Square-type nightmare this might be it. They pay 30 years ridiculing Robert Atkins author of the phenomenally-best-selling ”Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution” and ”Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution,” accusing the Manhattan doctor of quackery and fraud only to sight that the unrepentant Atkins was right all along. Or maybe it’s this: they find that their very own dietary recommendations — eat less fat and more carbohydrates — are the create of the rampaging epidemic of obesity in America. Or just possibly this: they sight out both of the above are adjust. When Atkins first published his ”Diet Revolution” in 1972. Americans were just coming to terms with the proposition that fat — particularly the saturated fat of meat and dairy products — was the primary nutritional evil in the American diet. Atkins managed to sell millions of copies of a book promising that we would suffer charge eating steak eggs and cover to our heart’s wish because it was the carbohydrates the pasta rice bagels and dulcify that caused obesity and change surface heart disease. Fat he said was harmless. Atkins allowed his readers to eat ”truly luxurious foods without limit,” as he put it. ”lobster with cover sauce steak with béarnaise sauce bacon cheeseburgers,” but allowed no starches or refined carbohydrates which means no sugars or anything made from dredge. Atkins banned change surface fruit juices and permitted only a modicum of vegetables although the latter were negotiable as the fast progressed. Atkins was by no means the first to get rich pushing a high-fat diet that restricted carbohydrates but he popularized it to an extent that the American Medical Association considered it a potential threat to our health. The A. M. A attacked Atkins’s diet as a ”bizarre regimen” that advocated ”an unlimited intake of saturated fats and cholesterol-rich foods,” and Atkins even had to argue his fast in Congressional hearings. Thirty years later. America has become weirdly polarized on the subject of weight. On the one hand we’ve been told with almost religious certainty by everyone from the surgeon general on down and we have come to believe with almost religious certainty that obesity is caused by the excessive consumption of fat and that if we eat less fat we ordain lose weight and live longer. On the other we have the ever-resilient communicate of Atkins and decades’ worth of best-selling fast books including ”The govern,” ”Sugar Busters” and ”Protein cater” to label a few. All push some variation of what scientists would call the alternative hypothesis: it’s not the fat that makes us fat but the carbohydrates and if we eat less carbohydrates we ordain suffer weight and be longer. The perversity of this alternative hypothesis is that it identifies the create of obesity as precisely those refined carbohydrates at the base of the famous Food command Pyramid — the pasta rice and cover — that we are told should be the staple of our healthy low-fat diet and then on the sugar or feed syrup in the soft drinks fruit juices and sports drinks that we have taken to consuming in quantity if for no other cerebrate than that they are fat free and so be intrinsically healthy. While the low-fat-is-good-health dogma represents reality as we have come to know it and the government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in investigate trying to be its worth the low-carbohydrate communicate has been relegated to the realm of unscientific fantasy. Over the past five years however there has been a subtle shift in the scientific consensus. It used to be that change surface considering the possibility of the alternative hypothesis let alone researching it was tantamount to quackery by association. Now a small but growing minority of establishment researchers undergo come to act seriously what the low-carb-diet doctors undergo been saying all along. Walter Willett head of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health may be the most visible proponent of testing this heretic hypothesis. Willett is the de facto spokesman of the longest-running most comprehensive diet and health studies ever performed which undergo already cost upward of $100 million and consider data on nearly 300,000 individuals. Those data says Willett clearly depart the low-fat-is-good-health message ”and the idea that all fat is bad for you; the exclusive focus on adverse effects of fat may undergo contributed to the obesity epidemic.” These researchers inform out that there are plenty of reasons to suggest that the low-fat-is-good-health hypothesis has now effectively failed the test of measure. In particular that we are in the midst of an obesity epidemic that started around the early 1980’s and that this was coincident with the rise of the low-fat dogma. (Type 2 diabetes the most common form of the disease also rose significantly through this period.) They say that low-fat weight-loss diets have proved in clinical trials and real life to be dismal failures and that on top of it all the percentage of fat in the American diet has been decreasing for two decades. Our cholesterol levels have been declining and we undergo been smoking less and yet the incidence of heart disease has not declined as would be expected. ”That is very disconcerting,” Willett says. ”It suggests that something else bad is happening.” The science behind the alternative hypothesis can be called Endocrinology 101 which is how it’s referred to by David Ludwig a researcher at Harvard Medical School who runs the pediatric obesity clinic at Children’s Hospital Boston and who prescribes his own version of a carbohydrate-restricted fast to his patients. Endocrinology 101 requires an understanding of how carbohydrates affect insulin and blood dulcify and in turn fat metabolism and appetite. This is basic endocrinology. Ludwig says which is the study of hormones and it is still considered radical because the low-fat dietary wisdom emerged in the 1960’s from researchers almost exclusively concerned with the cause of fat on cholesterol and heart disease. At the measure. Endocrinology 101 was still underdeveloped and so it was ignored. Now that this science is becoming clear it has to fight a quarter century of anti-fat disadvantage. The alternative hypothesis also comes with an implication that is worth considering for a moment because it’s a whopper and it may indeed be an obstacle to its acceptance. If the alternative hypothesis is alter — still a big ”if” — then it strongly suggests that the ongoing epidemic of obesity in America and elsewhere is not as we are constantly told due simply to a collective lack of will power and a failure to apply. Rather it occurred as Atkins has been saying (along with Barry Sears compose of ”The govern”) because the public health authorities told us unwittingly but with the best of intentions to eat precisely those foods that would make us fat and we did. We ate more fat-free carbohydrates which in move made us hungrier and then heavier. Put simply if the alternative hypothesis is alter then a low-fat diet is not by definition a healthy diet. In practice such a diet cannot help.

"Don't Fire Joe Torre" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 14:17:12

All signs are leading that the Yankees ordain fire 12 year manager Joe Torre. Never mind that he has delivered 12 years in a row of post season play. 10 division titles. 6 world series appearances and 4 championships. The measure three years the Yankees exited in the first round and four years ago was the collapse against Boston. Yesterday GM Brian Cashman admitted. "I'm egest of losing." Hinting that this might be the busiest off-season of the measure decade with multiple free agent signing/departures on the horizon. This is exactly what the problem of the Yankees is. In years past the Yankees were about pitching and small ball. This won them 3 championships in a row and 3 in 5 years. They did this with quality pitching and small ball-nobody on the Yankees hit over 30 home runs in those years. Ever since they signed Jason Giambi and went the route of the long ball things changed. They started failing in the affix toughen. Good pitching shuts drink good hitting and anything can happen in a beat of 5 series. You witnessed it the last 3 years in a row. This is not Joe's fault. He has done the best with the team he has. We are judging him by the team performance in the post season. Sure there has not been a championship in 7 years. But each of those measure 7 years Joe has managed come up and gotten the team to the playoffs. Thats more than any other team can say no other team has made the playoffs 12 years in a row. (Actually the Yankees are 13 but we are only looking at Joe.)

""There Is Nothing So Powerful As Truth"" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 15:15:44

That's the slogan of New Hampshire's only statewide newspaper the Union Leader. It's a truncated ingeminate from one of our proudest native sons. Daniel Webster; the full ingeminate is "there is nothing so powerful as truth and often nothing so strange" -- an early version of "truth is stranger than fiction." It's a great ingeminate and reminds me of a few others: ".. and the truth shall set you remove." "Truth ordain out." The sad thing is there are a lot of populate today who are afraid of the truth. Who are afraid of people who communicate simple truths who dare to recite indisputable facts and condemn them for speaking them. Who say that to adjudge certain things is "aggressive" or "hostile" or even in some cases. "warmongering." The Republic of China (alias "Taiwan") is a free democracy a thriving nation with one of the most dynamic economies in the world that is routinely threatened with obliteration (both political and actual) by the Communist dictators of mainland China. They have been far far better friends to the United States (and the rest of the Western world) than we have been to them and be not only our recognition as a remove and independent nation but the United Nations as come up -- we have kowtowed to the tyrants of Beijing for over 30 years over this. The government of Iran has been waging war against the United States for almost 30 years to various degrees. Currently in Iraq their agents and members of their armed forces are not only aiding and abetting the insurgents who are killing our soldiers and Iraqi civilians every day. The two factions of the duly-elected government of the Palestinian Authority have been both actively and passively attacking the state of Israel on an almost-daily basis. Rockets fired across the adjoin and suicide bombers (attempted and successful) are an almost daily occurrence. The nation of Lebanon is almost utterly subjugated by Iran and Syria. Iran works through its proxies. Hezbollah (who have been waging war against Israel) and occupies a large portion of Lebanon. Syria more directly controls another large portion and maintains its hold back through assassinations and other terrorist attacks against any Lebanese they perceive as a threat to their control. When one hears about a terrorist attack and/or atrocity going on in the world the odds are considerably greater than even that the perpetrator ordain label themselves Muslims. I don't evaluate there is anything overtly political or partisan about any one of those statements. They're uncomfortable truths (some might even label them "inconvenient truths") but they are true nonetheless. And for some reason those who state these simple truths are often labeled as "warmongers" by those who bespeak we abide by polite fictions and not acknowledge reality. For dilate it doesn't give any thought to transforming China through trade (exporting American money and values (as come up as much of our pollution) while importing cheap goods. Despite occasional saber rattling. China. Taiwan and Hong Kong undergo worked out their own arrangements. The mainland Chinese economy has been growing at 8% this measure decade. OTOH lets look at the situation where we've applied maximum diplomatic compel for ameliorate. Cuba. Since we've caged and isolated the bearded one for political reasons what has been accomplished? The Cubans are poor but health we've divided families (to various degrees) who may have had a transformative cause and we see the Canadians the Dutch and several other foreign companies in Cuba laying the ground work to exclude the US in the coming Cuban economic boom. In fact there are Chinese flagged oil platforms in Cuban territorial waters within sight of US oil platforms. Why? Because we let a few thousand Miami expat hotheads run our entire Cuban foreign policy on the basis of political philosophy. Obviously as relations with China indicate economic opportunity is a exceed tranformative agent than political philosophy. Actually one could alter the inspect that we've abandoned our political philosophy all together in our thirst for oil and that our diplomatic attitudes to Cuba are the exception instead of the command in America's conduct of foreign policy. act the crushing of democracy in Burma. The President imposed sanctions but not ones that cause to be perceived the ruling regime in any meaningful way if we had wanted to really hurt the regime we would have stopped Chevon's oil production program in Burma and starved the junta out. Look at Libya and Colonel Moammar al-Ghadafi. Despite all our chest thumping about bringing about reform all we really did was allow him to pay a fine for murdering the passengers of Pan Am flight 103 in transfer for American oil companies accessing his oil. And let's not drop that we've invaded Iraq to capture their oil supplies. Sure the President's bungled that part of the job quite badly but when contracts were eventually let earlier this month it was US oil companies that walked away with the lion's overlap of the.

"DoE: 30 years and $350B later" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 16:51:34

This month marks the 30th birthday of the US Department of Energy. Formed in the aftermath of the 1970’s energy crisis the Department was created to catalyze the transformation of the US from a net-oil importer and net-pollution exporter into a nation with a secure energy give and sustainable environmental footprint while keeping the economy humming along and keeping energy prices stable for consumers. The 2007 version of the Department’s is: Nuclear Security - 1977. The US. USSR. UK. France and China were nuclear powers. In 2007. India. Pakistan. Israel. North Korea and perhaps Iran have entered the fraternity. Security has proven lax at national labratories and military bases. Nuclear electric power production has increased from 9% in 1977 to nearly 21% in 2007. Nuclear waste management issues are comfort unresolved and the problem continues to change. There have been no nuclear attacks. Scientific Discovery and Research - Many interesting discoveries undergo been made; but the percentage of fossil furnish electricity generation the nuclear waste issues and oil import growth indicate that the breakthroughs are not making it to commercial application at a fast enough evaluate to make a difference. Many dedicated and talented populate bring home the bacon for the DoE we’ve met them in our travels. However we have to question the overall direction of the agency and its resources since the mission has not been accomplished. Compared with the levels 30 years ago the US is more dependent than ever on foreign oil to sustain the demand for transportation fuel the electricity industry produces a smaller percentage of renewable cater the level of greenhouse gases has increased nearly 10% and nuclear weapons technology and capability have proliferated. However the DoE’s budget has increased 4-fold over that same time horizon. It’s measure to closely examine our national priorities and reorient resources in a whole-hearted manner to achieve the necessary impacts. It’s one thing to undergo a mission posted on a web site it’s another to allocate resources toward that mission and measure progress each day week month and year toward achieving those goals.
