ENT advances clinical research initiatives
Although considered a newer venture for the department, the research arm of the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery is well into advanced stages, collaborating in robust weekly meetings with many products ready for clinical trials initiatives. Houston Methodist also recently named the department's first research fellow and research coordinator who is dedicated specifically to ENT initiatives.
"Our AI (artificial intelligence) augmented reality work in sleep and sinus surgery is really pushing the boundaries," said faculty spokesman Omar Ahmed, MD, who specializes in Rhinology, Sleep and Skull base surgery. "We are helping develop several new products in detecting sleep apnea using AI algorithms."
Houston Methodist was a leader in the COVID-19 care in the massive Texas Medical Center, and the trajectory of that experience, the disease itself and the disease's variants is key to many new research ideas. Also, the ENT department has a focus on population-based research projects to improve outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis patients. "Recently, we have engaged in first-of-its-kind research that incorporates big data from the pandemic and artificial intelligence in partnership with several innovative companies to bring these technologies into our specialty," Dr. Ahmed added. "Much of our work and trials are collaborative because of our location in the Texas Medical Center." "We are also very interested in the long-haul consequences of COVID," he said, "And what we can do about it." Dr. Ahmed said the Houston Methodist physicians and educators are excited to welcome Daniel Gorelik from George Washington University School of Medicine as the department's first research assistant who is dedicated specifically to ENT concerns. "During my interview with the ENT department at Houston Methodist, I could tell the experience of the faculty and the innovation at the hospital was unparalleled," said Mr. Gorelik, who moved to Houston this summer to begin his research fellowship at Houston Methodist. He is highly published and has focused his skills on robotic surgery, another area of Methodist expertise. Dr. Ahmed said ENT researchers are studying how to prevent hearing loss as well as rehabilitation from hearing loss. They also are testing new treatments for patients with obstructive sleep apnea as an alternative to CPAP machines that have been used for more than 40 years with few innovations. Other specific research underway in the Methodist Hospital Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery include:
A pilot study recently was completed to evaluate the sidedness of facial aging. This data was presented at the Combined Otolaryngology Spring the Combined Otolaryngology (COSM) Spring Meeting. A larger scale study is now being planned.
ENT researchers also are evaluating practice patterns related to the treatment of non-binary and transgender patients. This project is currently going through IRB.
Head and Neck Oncologic Surgery
The department researchers are collaboratively developing novel molecular probes for fluorescent illumination during cancer operations to improve the safety and effectiveness of cancer surgery. By illuminating nerves and other vital structures, we are working toward strategies that reduce the morbidity of our most common head and neck cancer treatments to improve outcomes for our survivors.
A multi-institutional trial soon will be up and running with regards to xerostomia and salivary stimulation with Houston Methodist as a possible site in collaboration with Rice University.
Laryngology research
National Institutes of Health-funded prospective randomized trial of voice rest compliance and outcomes after phonomicrosurgery for benign vocal lesions.
Large-scale retrospective review of the demographics, diagnoses and treatment patterns for 1,700 patients presenting with complaints of dysphonia to the Texas Voice Center at Methodist Hospital.
Multi-institutional study evaluating the correlation between MOCA and voice therapy outcomes in the aging population (primary site University of California San Francisco Parnassus Campus.) https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05187910?cond=moca+voice&draw=2&rank=1
Comparison of outcomes in patients with COVID on ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) who either did or did not undergo tracheostomy placement.
Otology/Neurotology
Improving outcomes in cochlear implant surgery
Radiographic findings and correlations with various otologic pathologies
Rhinology and Sleep Surgery
The Rhintrac prospective randomized controlled trial for the treatment of chronic rhinitis has completed enrolling patients and one-year data for follow up is being published.
There are a series of projects focused on improving and modifying in-office based techniques to treat chronic rhinitis.
The department is participating in the prospective Osprey Clinical trial for the treatment of OSA using a hypoglossal nerve stimulator created Livanova.
We are also researching population-based studies evaluating outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic sinusitis.
We are evaluating factors that affect COVID-19 related anosmia using the Methodist COVID-19 database.

Approaching Ottoman history : an introduction to the sources by Suraiya Faroqhi( )
36 editions published between 1999 and 2011 in 3 languages and held by 2,323 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In a compelling exploration of the ways that primary and secondary sources can be used to interpret history, the author reaches out to students and researchers in the field and in related disciplines to familiarise them with these documents. By considering both archival and narrative sources, she explains why they were prepared, encouraging her readers to adopt a critical approach to their findings, and disabusing them of the notion that everything recorded in official documents is necessarily true."
The Ottomans and the Balkans : a discussion of historiography by Fikret Adanır( )
16 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 1,889 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A discussion of historiography concerning the Ottoman Empire. It analyzes how the historiographies established in various national states have viewed the Empire and its legacy, and explores the links of 20th-century historiography with the rich historical tradition of the Ottoman Empire itself
The Ottoman Empire and the world around it by Suraiya Faroqhi( )
47 editions published between 2004 and 2013 in English and Arabic and held by 1,672 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Faroqhi's book is based on a huge study of original and early modern sources, including diplomatic records, travel and geographical writing as well as personal accounts. Its breadth and originality will make it essential reading for historians of Europe and the Middle East."--Jacket
Artisans of empire : crafts and craftspeople under the Ottomans by Suraiya Faroqhi( )
29 editions published between 2009 and 2017 in English and Turkish and held by 1,217 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This comprehensive history by leading Ottoman historian Suraiya Faroqhi presents the definitive view of the subject, from the production and distribution of different craft objects to their use and enjoyment within the community.Succinct yet comprehensive, "Artisans of Empire" analyses the production and trade of crafts from the beginning of the 16th century to the early 20th century, focusing on its history, politics and culture
14 editions published in 2008 in English and German and held by 1,184 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This book dedicated to Suraiya Faroqhi shows that the early modern world was not only characterized by its having been split up into states with closed frontiers. Writing history 'from the bottom', by treating the Ottoman Empire and other countries as 'subjects of history', reduces the importance of political borders for doing historical research. Each social, economic and religious group had its own world-view and in most of the cases the borders of these communities were not identical with the political frontiers.Regarding the Ottoman Empire and the other early modern states as systems of di
Crafts and craftsmen of the Middle East : fashioning the individual in the Muslim Mediterranean by Suraiya Faroqhi( )
18 editions published between 2001 and 2014 in English and held by 1,111 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Crafts and Craftsmen of the Middle East presents original interdisciplinary research and reveals inner glimpses into the lives of craftsmen working within and outside the guild structure in the modern and contemporary Mediterranean world. From the late sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire to traditional style crafts in twentieth-century Turkey and Egypt, the book surveys a multitude of traditions. It begins in 1582 when Istanbul artisans paraded in front of Sultan Murad III, then moves through to eighteenth and nineteenth-century struggles and accommodation between different groups of artisans and craftsmen in Istanbul, Salonica, Veria, Cairo and Damascus, looking at various situations within the Muslim, Jewish and Christian working communities. The volume concludes with studies on contemporary Cairo as well as in the small Anatolian town of Safranbolu. Crafts and Craftsmen of the Middle East is essential reading for all those interested in the history of the culture and society of artisans, craftsmen and workers in the Islamic Mediterranean lands."--Jacket
Bread from the lion's mouth : artisans struggling for a livelihood in Ottoman cities( )
The newly awakened interest in the lives of craftspeople in Turkey is highlighted in this collection, which uses archival documents to follow Ottoman artisans from the late 15th century to the beginning of the 20th. The authors examine historical changes in the lives of artisans, focusing on the craft organizations (or guilds) that underwent substantial changes over the centuries. The guilds transformed and eventually dissolved as they were increasingly co-opted by modernization and state-building projects, and by the movement of manufacturing to the countryside. In consequence by the 20th century, many artisans had to confront the forces of capitalism and world trade without significant protection, just as the Ottoman Empire was itself in the process of dissolution
Subjects of the Sultan : culture and daily life in the Ottoman Empire by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
30 editions published between 1995 and 2015 in 3 languages and held by 631 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Suraiya Faroqhi here explores the urban world of the Ottoman lands from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. She describes the social significance of the popular arts and crafts of the period and examines the interaction among the diverse populations and classes of the Empire, with their varying religions and ethnic backgrounds. Even the banalities associated with the everyday are brought to life: bathing, the market, loving and grieving are all explored for the first time with scholarly rigour and fascination for a disappeared world." "Delving into personal letters, court documents, wills, correspondence with Sufi masters and the travel records of seafarers and traders, Faroqhi has identified a broad range of areas where individuals were able to create a flourishing and vibrant urban civilization, even while politically the Empire was beginning its relentless decline. By presenting a new vision of Ottoman cultural history, Subjects of the Sultan fills a huge gap and will fascinate not only historians of the Middle East but also social historians, students and discerning readers interested in history."--Jacket
The Ottoman Empire : a short history by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
"In a concise and colorful style, Suraiya Faroqhi lays out the history of one of the most powerful empires of the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern era. At its height, the Ottoman Empire spread over three continents and matched the size of the Roman Empire, covering the territories of modern-day Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and parts of Greece. This text traces the political history of the Ottomans from the 14th century to the dissolution of the empire after World War I and employs a balanced approach that encompasses economic, social, and cultural history. The result is a unique, colorful overview of the Ottoman Empire that depicts soldiers, such as Mehmed II (?the Conqueror?) and the Janissary corps; the wars with Persia, Russia, and Venice; court life in Istanbul, including patronage of the arts; the role of the sultan as defender of Sunni Islam; the tax system; agriculture and trade; life in the cities and the country; the relationship between Europe and the Ottoman Empire; the rise of nationalism; and upheaval during the 19th century." --
Pilgrims and sultans : the Hajj under the Ottomans, 1517-1683 by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
The pilgrimage to Mecca - the hajj - is a major aspect of the Islamic religion, yet little has been written about its history or of the conditions under which thousands of pilgrims from far-flung regions of the Islamic world were able to travel to the heart of the Arabian peninsula. This pioneering book concentrates on the pilgrimage in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when Mecca was ruled by the Ottoman sultans
The Ottoman empire as a world power, 1453-1603 by Suraiya Faroqhi( )
Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Turkey examines the period from the conquest of Constantinople in 1453 to the accession of Ahmed I in 1603. During this period, the Ottoman Empire moved into a new phase of expansion, emerging in the sixteenth century as a dominant political player on the world scene. With territory stretching around the Mediterranean from the Adriatic Sea to Morocco, and from the Caucasus to the Caspian Sea, the Ottomans reached the apogee of their military might in a period seen by many later Ottomans, and historians, as a golden age in which the state was strong, the sultan's might unquestionable, and intellectual life and the arts flourishing. In this volume, leading scholars assess the considerable expansion of Ottoman power and effervescence of the Ottoman intellectual and cultural world. They also investigate the challenges that faced the Ottoman state, particularly in the later period, as the empire experienced economic crises, revolts and drawn-out wars
The Cambridge history of Turkey by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
"This volume examines the rise of Turkish power in Anatolia from the arrival of the first Turks at the end of the eleventh century to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Taking the period as a whole, the volume covers the political, economic, social, intellectual and cultural history of the region as the Byzantine empire crumbled and Anatolia passed into Turkish control to become the heartland of the Ottoman empire. In this way, the authors emphasise the continuities of the era rather than its dislocations, situating Anatolia within its geographic context at the crossroads of Central Asia, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The world which emerges is one of military encounter, but also of cultural cohabitation, intellectual and diplomatic exchange, and political finesse. This is a state-of-the-art work of reference on an understudied period in Turkish history by some of the leading scholars in the field." --Book Jacket
Men of modest substance : house owners and house property in seventeenth-century Ankara and Kayseri by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
"This is a study of two contrasting towns in Anatolia in the seventeenth century. As house ownership was widespread, data concerning value, description, location and ownership of dwellings constitute a valid manner of approaching urban society as a whole. Through her use of documents from the kadi registers of Ankara and Kayseri, Dr Faroqui follows changes in patterns of house ownership over approximately a century. The urban society thus revealed differs from the patterns generally associated with the 'Islamic city' model. Townsmen often bought real estate without selecting a quarter inhabited by their co-religionists, which throws light on the Muslim majority's attitude to the Christian minority. However examples of wealthy and poor quarters were not known. The kadi registers also indicate that despite passing through a period of crisis early in the century, both cultures managed a fairly rapid recovery from this."
Towns and townsmen of Ottoman Anatolia : trade, crafts, and food production in an urban setting, 1520-1650 by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
The later Ottoman Empire, 1603-1839( Book )
Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of Turkey traces the history of the later Ottoman Empire from the death of Mehmed III in 1603 to the proclamation of the tanzimat, the administrative reconstruction of the Ottoman state, in 1839. This was a period of relative stability when trade between the empire and Europe flourished and, wartime apart, merchants and pilgrims travelled in relative security. However, despite the emphasis on the sultan's role as defender of the faithful and of social order, tensions did exist between the ruling elite in Istanbul and their provincial subjects. This theme is central to the volume. Other sections focus on religious and political groups, women, trade, rural life and, importantly, music, art and architecture. The history emphasises the political, cultural and artistic accomplishments of the Ottomans in the post-classical period, thus challenging traditional notions that this was a period of stagnation
Living the good life : consumption in the Qing and Ottoman empires of the eighteenth century( )
Eighteenth-century consumers of the Qing and Ottoman empires had access to an increasingly diverse array of goods, from home furnishings to fashionable clothes and new foodstuffs. While this tendency was of shorter duration and intensity in the Ottoman world, some urbanites of the sultans' realm did enjoy silks, coffee, and Chinese porcelain. By contrast, a vibrant consumer culture flourished in Qing China, where many consumers flaunted their fur coats and indulged in gourmet dining. 'Living the Good Life', edited by Elif Akcetin and Suraiya Faroqhi explores how goods furthered the expansion of social networks, alliance-building between rulers and regional elites, and the expression of elite, urban, and gender identities. The scholarship in the present volume highlights the recently emerging "material turn" in Qing and Ottoman historiographies and provides a framework for future research
A cultural history of the Ottomans : the imperial elite and its artefacts by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
12 editions published in 2016 in English and Undetermined and held by 246 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Ottoman Empire was more than a center of military and economic activity; it was a vivid and flourishing cultural realm. The artefacts and objects remaining from all corners of this vast empire tell us a great deal about the everyday concerns of the Ottomans. In this book, Faroqhi, a leading historian on the Ottoman Empire, has selected the most revealing, surprising and striking examples of the artefacts which illuminate the lesser-known cultural and artistic world of the Ottomans. Each image reproduced in full color is deftly linked to the latest historiography, and the social, political and economic implications of her selections are never forgotten. In Faroqhi's hands, the objects become ways to learn more about trade, gender and socio-political status. They open an enticing window onto the variety and color of everyday life; from the Sultan's court, to the peasantry and slavery. Amongst its luxuriant faiences and etchings, its sofras and carpets, "A Cultural History of the Ottomans" is essential reading for all students of the Ottoman Empire and its material culture."
Peasants, dervishes, and traders in the Ottoman Empire by Suraiya Faroqhi( Book )
"Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of Turkey traces the history of the later Ottoman Empire from the death of Mehmed III in 1603 to the proclamation of the tanzimat, the administrative reconstruction of the Ottoman state, in 1839. This was a period of relative stability when trade between the empire and Europe flourished and, wartime apart, merchants and pilgrims travelled in relative security.

Home Plattform-leipzig Casino Games Six shooter
Playing Six Shooter is a fun and engaging casino game with dice. You'll have three chances to match the dealer's dice. To win the game, you must match all six of his dice in one game round. To win, you must hit a three-dice combination in the first round. If you manage to do so, you can win a payout of twelve to one. This payout is not guaranteed, but if you hit all three, you'll win.
The Six Shooter casino game has similar rules to Sharp Shooter. The croupier throws six dice. Each player gets three throws, but the dealer may choose to throw all six dice. The objective of the game is to match the house number with the croupier's dice to win. The player must select a chip from the line below the table, wait for the dealer to roll the dice, and then unleash.
Although Six Shooter does not feature many bonus features, the gameplay is great. Players are awarded three tries to win the prize, and winning on the first try will award a twelve-to-one stake. If you win on the second and third attempts, you'll receive an 8-to-five stake. If you're lucky enough to roll three fewer times, you'll get a one-to-one payout!


Northern Samar became home for a while. Each other became home for a while and we would be going back to the places we came from. We'd go back to having things we got used to not having. We would go back to our reality, another one that we left behind. But do we let go of the new one we lived through? I think not. Once we go through things, we are forever changed. Our contexts would not stay the same because once we reevaluate, we see how much we have changed over some time and we incorporate that. We integrate that. We do not set it aside in favor of another because we are that new context now and we will always be changing as well. Here was a community that had its own way before we came and would continue to have its way once we have left but they accepted us in that short while. We have become a part of them, and they of us. The hope was that we would both take something from that shared time. The laughter, the stories, the experiences. All of those will contribute to who we will be and all the lessons from it? Worth it. Quoting someone, yes it gets tiresome, but along that weariness comes a certain valuing. We go through hardships because of those we value – people, things, experiences, lessons, and what not. We suffer for what we hold dear. We will continue to choose to suffer if we get to do so for what we believe in. But along with that we continue to change. We become embodiments of those values and we act in accordance to them. As we journey, we hear and meet people and stories. Then we remember them behind the figures and numbers. We become mindful of whatever suggestions or ideas we have because we know it will affect real people. We become responsible.
Northern Samar was beautiful and will continue to be. We do indeed see from where we stand and that informs our actions. But this beautiful place filled with amazingly strong people reminded me that they do not want to be a charity case. Nor should they be. They are equally capable if the opportunity presents itself, but even and especially when it doesn't, they are as deserving of us of the good things in life. They are willing to put in the work and exert effort. They make do of what they have. They will thrive and survive because they are strong, determined, and passionate people. If they can come together with this and put the people's care and satisfaction at the forefront, they can go places. They already have. The work does not stop and it should continue no matter who is on top.
With all this, Northern Samar concludes but the love remains, and the work begins. For us and them, we need to start or continue for the better. The experience will stay and so will the lessons. Samar was a beautiful chapter, but this story never ends. Different measures, different seasons, that love will be expressed in varying ways. We have been given so much love and care and it is time we share that as we go along. How do you measure love really? You don't. You love God as you love other people. And other people will always be there in their otherness. Your love shouldn't look to make them your own but to support them in being their own. To happily allow them to be themselves and to remain present regardless of what happens. This need not be physically but in whatever way we can manage. It was painful saying goodbye, it was painful flying away. But why is there pain? Because there was a connection. We fear it being severed but perhaps it won't be. These connections are those we actively work on and those are experiences we do not just let go. Those are people we do not just forget. They were not just story points, they were not just information sources. They were real people feeling real things, as real as you and the challenge is to honor that journey with them as we go on with our lives. We have learned so much, now, what are we going to do about it?
How are we going to act moving forward? We act with all that we have learned. With an appreciation for the little things, with love informing the way we carry our ourselves and react to other people. It is daunting, it sounds impossible, but we work at it consistently, we work at it with baby steps. But we work consistently. Yes, it can get tiring, but we rest, not give up. And eventually, we soldier on because of the experience we've had, the love we've been given, the service we have seen, the people we have met. We honor all of these and carry them with us as we go, we act because we have been acted upon, we love because we have been loved. We have been blessed and in turn, so do we bless (or attempt to). It will not be easy, but when did something ever happen become easy? We will keep on trying, we will keep on striving, because this repayment, this sharing is a process, a choice we must keep on choosing. Whatever happens, whatever we go through, always, in all ways, would these little wonders remain.

Try a New Thai in Evanston, Illinois
At Evanston's NaKorn, you won't even miss your (old) favorite Thai dish.
By Andrea Guthmann February 15, 2018
Kabocha-Kale Chicken Roulade
Flower petals rest like butterfly wings atop bite-size chunks of grilled octopus. Arranged in an artful swirl among dots of sauce, the dish seems almost too pretty to eat.

Then my gaze lands on the paper-thin black wafers-lacy, like sea fan coral, and tucked between bites of meat-and curiosity wins. I lift my chopsticks and reach in for a bite. NaKorn's dishes aren't anything like the Thai takeout most Americans know, and that's the point. "We wanted a restaurant that reminded us of home," says co-owner Sam Rattanopas, who emigrated to the United States in 1996 with her childhood friend, Mina Sudsaard.
Pad Thai or chicken satay? Don't even look for them on the menu at the Evanston restaurant Sam and Mina opened in 2016. "Those are considered street food or fast food in Thailand," Sam says. "We wanted to introduce Americans to the dishes served in Thai homes. You wouldn't serve hot dogs and fries to your family every night, would you?"
Coconut Poached Seafood

A quick L ride north from Chicago, NaKorn shares a neighborhood with pricey world-class restaurants and affordable eats that draw students from nearby Northwestern University. NaKorn hits a friendly middle ground with prices from $8 to around $32.
The vibe is warm and cozy. Bamboo birdcages glow as light fixtures, and Burberry-like plaid wallpaper wraps central columns. Mina, a graphic designer, brought it all together and hand-drew the restaurant's massive mural of a Bangkok street.
True to Thai custom, NaKorn serves seasonal entrees. Try Mina's Braised Short Ribs-tender slices of meat served in a mouthwatering broth, or Khun Sompit's Big Fish, a type of sea bass. Here, it's named after Sam's father and served whole, just how he liked it.
NaKorn's dishes aren't as spicy-hot as you might expect. "Thai food has five taste experiences: sweet, hot, sour, bitter and salty," Sam says, adding that true Thai cooking is more about complexity and balance than heat. That means you won't see pepper icons or cautions on the menu. And along with pad Thai, you probably won't miss them.

Affordability and Housing in Cambridge - a forum
When the Cambridge Housing Authority recently opened the list to new applicants for Section 8 housing vouchers, they received 6,800 applications over a two week period. Few stories better illustrate the housing crisis in Cambridge so Jim Stockard pointed to this disturbing fact in his opening remarks at last night's forum on housing sponsored by the Cambridge Historical Society. Stockard, the former curator of the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Design School, noted that basic housing economics explain some of the quandary locally, "In Cambridge, the reason for our outrageous prices for housing is not so much that the cost [to build] housing is outrageous, though it's quite high, it's because demand and supply are out of whack. There is a seemingly infinite demand for people who want to live in Cambridge and a very very restricted ability to increase supply."
The crowd is there to hear about housing in Cambridge
The loss of general affordability, the retreat of the federal government away from the business of housing people, and failure of policy makers to act on the mandate spelled out in the 1949 federal Housing Act all came up during the hour long panel moderated by Curt Nickisch of WBUR. Cambridge housing advocate Cheryl-Ann Pizza-Zeoli and Greg Russ, the head of the Cambridge Housing Authority, filled out the panel.
While Housing Authority chief Russ gave Cambridge high marks in its ability to fuse the regulatory power of the local government on issues such as zoning with the financial tools such as the Affordable Housing Trust, all the panelists shared their frustration of the city's inability to deal with the loss of of a huge portion of our population because of skyrocketing costs.
Since 1990, the city has lost half of the population who might be considered "poor," those earning 50 to 80 percent of Area Median Income, a fact that leads to the "dumb bell" distribution of wealth -- only the very poor and the very rich can afford to live here, Pizza-Zeoli noted.
Both Stockard and and Russ added that almost everybody receives a subsidy for housing. The greatest subsidy is not for poor people. It exists in the tax code, helping home owners through the mortgage interest deduction they can claim off their taxes. Congress is appropriating only enough money for existing vouchers so no new vouchers are being funded so there is no way to expand the program. On the public housing side, the money from the government has actually been reduced.
The politics behind housing is complicated, since collectively housing is not viewed as a fundamental right. Pizza-Zeoli asked "Do we have a housing movement?" The 1949 Housing Act called for "a decent home and suitable living environment for every American 'as soon as practical.'" Stockard said that after 65 years, the wait has been too long. "Affordable housing in America," he continued "is a lottery and we have provided about enough money and your chances of prevailing in the lottery is about 1 in 4. Do we want to be a society where housing is a lottery or do we want to be a society where we believe that everybody is entitled to a decent place to live?"
One way to address these challenges is through housing supply and both Russ and Stockard noted that in the face of neighborhood opposition in Cambridge often called NIMBYism, it is important to look at the questions of height and density in appropriate locations around the city.
On the issue of density, moderator Nickisch phrased the inherent conundrum most succinctly when he asked -- In order to save the city, do we need to change the city?
The very enlightening and informed discussion was taped by CCTV and will be rebroadcast. It is worth watching.

Sterling Recreation Organization's (SRO) Gateway 5 Theatres opened on June 1, 1984. SRO managed it until June 2, 1985. On June 3, 1984 it came under Pacific Theatre's banner in the movie section of the Orange County Register. At the time Pacific Theatres also operated 6 screens at the La Mirada Mall and 9 drive-ins in Orange County.
On June 23, 1993 the Los Angeles Times said that Edwards Theatres was assuming control of the Gateway 5. In August of 2000 the Orange County Register reporting on Edwards bankruptcy said that Edwards had filed a petition with the court to terminate the lease on the Gateway 5. According to Edwards Movie guide in the Register, the theater had already closed as it vanished from the listings in September of 1999. Was Edwards paying for a lease on an empty theater for nearly a year? The city of La Mirada says that the Edwards Gateway 5 was demolished to make room for redevelopment.

While the theatre is long gone, a "Gateway Theatres" labelscar and non functional led marquee can still be seen on a sign that stands adjacent to the northbound side of the 5 freeway.

Excellent service! The best staff!! Spyros and Tina was always very helpful at the reception. Adrian had the best choices to give you as recommendations. The guys at the pool area(Simos, Bler, Myrto and Peter) was there to assist you any time!!! Amazing cocktails, the best breakfast -full of choices- Greek Mediterranean cuisine for dinner, and the best view for sunset!!
I took my wife to Ostraco Suites on our wedding anniversary in September and we were blown away! In no particular order, my favorite things were the food (the chef was world class), the staff (I have never met friendlier staff than them), and the room (it was immaculately presented, and cozy and modern at the same time). If you want a personable, luxury boutique hotel experience, this is the place to go.
I have visited this hotel three times and I really love it! Great design, very clean and the service was amazing. The pool area is ideal for a drink and relax. For sure I would visit it again, I highly recommend it.
It wasn't the first time I stayed at Ostraco. For the past 10 years I have been coming back to this hotel for the most elegant and warmest stay possible on the island.
All rooms are super stylish but comfortable at the same time, the hotel is just a 10' walk to the center of the town (but in a quite location), the view and the breakfast amazing.


We had another exciting week in 4k! We learned the song, Five Little Pumpkin Sitting on a Gate, and made a poster to go along with it. We also carved a pumpkin and roasted the seeds. Yesterday was our Halloween party and I think everyone had a great time! We learned the letter Hh, and started talking about feelings (sad and happy) in Second Step.
Next week, we are going to use the Ipads to do a letter tracer app. I'll also show the kids how to use ABC mouse. Hopefully you're able to use the app at home with the login information I sent home. It's a really great app! We will be learning the letter Tt next week and in Second Step we'll talk about feelings (scared and surprised). We're also going to do a song called, Mat Man, where it will sing a song about following the steps to draw a person with all of the body parts. We've been doing the Clifford My Big World Scholastic Readers on Tuesdays after library and the kids really seems to enjoy those. We use the digital version which includes a short video, games, and printable activities.
Thanks to those of you that sent in items for the party! I really appreciate it.

Pakistan take on South Africa at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Monday in Group B second match. It is the fifth game of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Champions Trophy 2013.
Both the teams come into the contest after losing their respective tournament openers with Pakistan conceding defeat to West Indies by two wickets and South Africa losing to India by 26 runs. Pakistan defeated South Africa in the warm-up game but this match is a different one all together.
It will be a contest between Pakistani bowlers and South African batsmen. Both the teams need to win this match to stay alive in the competition.
Previous Meetings:
South Africa have good record against Pakistan, winning all the five ODI series held at home and away since 2002.
Pakistan: Except skipper Misbah-ul-Haq (96) and Nasir Jamshed (50), the rest of the players didn't even put up a fight in their previous match against West Indies. Misbah and Nasir will expected to perform again in this all-important match, and batsmen like Imran Farhat, Mohammad Hafeez and Asad Shafiq should contribute with their bat.
Mohammad Irfan took three wickets while Saeed Ajmal and Wahab Riaz took two wickets apiece in the previous match. They also have Mohammad Hafeez, Junaid Khan, Asad Ali, Ehsan Adil, Abdur Rehman and Shoaib Malik. They did a good job in the previous match against the West Indies, coming close to taking away the match. They will be expected to put up a good show on Monday.
South Africa: Skipper AB de Villiers (70), Robin Peterson (68) and Ryan McLaren (71) helped the team put up a fierce fight against India in the previous match though they were short by 26 runs. Hashim Amla, Colin Ingram and JP Duminy will be expected to give a good start for the team as they need to put up a big score on the board considering Pakistan's bowling strength.
Give a big blow to their bowling attack, Morne Morkel has flown back home due to an injury. Speedster Dale Steyn's availability is also not certain as his fitness is in question due to an injury. Ryan McLaren took three wickets and Lonwabo Tsotsobe took two in the previous match against India. They also have Rory Kleinveldt, Robin Peterson, JP Duminy, Alviro Petersen and Aaron Phangiso in the bowling attack.
Pakistan are an unpredictable team with strong bowling attack but the lack of experienced players make them vulnerable. On the other hand, South Africa have both experience and youth with strong batting line-up, making them the favourites to win on Monday.
Squads:
Pakistan: Misbah-ul-Haq (Captain), Abdur Rehman, Asad Ali, Asad Shafiq, Ehsan Adil, Imran Farhat, Junaid Khan, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Irfan, Nasir Jamshed, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Malik, Umar Amin, Wahab Riaz
South Africa: AB de Villiers (Captain), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, JP Duminy, Francois du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Rory Kleinveldt, Ryan McLaren, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Alviro Petersen, Robin Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe
Where to Watch Live
The match will kick off at 5:30 PM IST on Monday and it will be telecast live on Star Sports and Star Cricket channels. It will also be live streamed online on Star Sports official website.
