Trypanosoma cruzi , Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania spp. are etiological agents of the following neglected diseases: African sleeping sickness (T. brucei ), Chagas' disease (T. cruzi ) and leishmaniasis (Leishmania spp.). These parasites are eukaryotic cells that diverged early in evolution and therefore harbor modified organelles, such as glycosomes, and present subcellular compartments with unusual characteristics. This chapter aims to overview the most striking features of the structures and functions of these organelles, which ensure the existence of these parasites, and to discuss the differences between species and between the distinct life cycle forms of each organism.
Trypanosomatid Genome Organization and Ploidy
Page: 61-103 (43)
Author: João Luís Reis-Cunha, Hugo Oswaldo Valdivia and Daniella Castanheira Bartholomeu
In 2005, the draft genome sequences of the parasites Trypanosoma cruzi, Trypanosoma brucei and Leishmania major, also known as the Tritryps, were published providing major insights into their genome structure and organization. Even though these parasites diverged around 200 to 500 million years ago, their core genomes are highly syntenic and conserved. These conserved regions are interspersed by retroelements, structural RNAs and species-specific genes related to host-parasite interactions. While T. brucei presents a subtelomeric expansion of genes related to antigenic variation, T. cruzi and Leishmania genomes contain species-specific genes related to cellular invasion and survival inside the mammalian host cells. Duplication events have also shaped the genome architecture of these parasites. As control of gene expression operates mainly at a post-transcriptional level in trypanosomatids, gene copy number variation is probably an efficient mechanism to enhance gene expression and increase sequence variability. These parasites also explore gene conversion mechanisms to generate variants and increase their surface complexity. Among the Tritryps, T. cruzi presents the most striking expansion of species-specific multigene families, which could be related to the parasite's ability to infect any nucleated cell of a broad range of mammals. Chromosomal copy number variation is also well tolerated by these parasites, allowing the expansion of the whole set of genes simultaneously. The functional implications of these chromosomal expansions to the parasite biology are still to be determined.
Chromosomes Ends and Telomere Biology of Trypanosomatids
Page: 104-133 (30)
Author: Miguel Angel Chiurillo, Cristiane Regina Antonio, Marjorie Mendes Marini, Renata Torres de Souza and José Franco da Silveira
In this chapter, we focus on the structure and function of telomeres and subtelomeres of human protozoan parasites T. cruzi, T. rangeli and Leishmania spp.. Beyond their role in maintaining the integrity of chromosomes, telomeres and subtelomeres are involved in the survival mechanisms of these single-celled parasites. The telomeric repeat (5'-TTAGGG-3')n is conserved among trypanosomatid species, but adjacent subtelomers vary between species and chromosomes within the same cell. The chromosome ends of T. rangeli, for example, exhibit a simple organization with short subtelomeres whereas T. cruzi subtelomeres are a complex mosaic of genomic fragments including gene/pseudogenes corresponding to large gene families of surface proteins and retrotransposons. Differences in the copy number and organization of these genes determine the variation in the size of subtelomeres on each T. cruzi chromosome. Leishmania subtelomeres, in contrast, lack genes encoding surface antigens; instead they carry conserved repeat sequences referred to as telomereassociated sequences. T. cruzi and T. rangeli chromosomes share a high level of synteny which is lost in the subtelomeric regions. It has been suggested that T. cruzi subtelomeres can serve as recombination hotspots and thus promoting the increase of the repertoire of surface antigens. Many pieces of evidence indicate that telomere maintenance in Kinetoplastids occurs primarily by a telomerase-mediated elongation. The catalytic subunit of telomerase (TERT) is present in all sequenced trypanosomatid species, whereas the RNA component containing a template for telomere repeat extension has recently been identified in T. brucei and Leishmania. Further studies are needed to understanding the regulation of telomere homeostasis and the biology of subtelomeres of trypanosomatids.
Nuclear and Kinetoplast DNA Replication in Trypanosomatids
Author: Marcelo S. da Silva, Maria Alejandra Viviescas, Raphael Souza Pavani, Edna Gicela Ortiz, Camila B. Storti and Maria Isabel N. Cano
Trypanosomatids are among the most primitive eukaryotes and therefore exhibit both conserved and unique non-conserved features in the DNA replication machinery. In eukaryotes, nuclear DNA replication is preceded by the assembly of the pre-replication complex (pre-RC), which is coordinated by the six-subunit origin recognition complex (ORC), which together with the Cdc6 and Cdt1 proteins play a central role in the loading of the hetero-hexamer Mcm2-7. In the domain Archaea there are no Cdt1 protein homologs, Mcm is a homo-hexamer, which is recruited by a protein that shows homology with ORC, and Cdc6 (called Orc/Cdc6). Curiously, trypanosomatid pre-RC differs from others eukaryotes in this context, and it appears more similar to that of Archaea, presenting a homolog of protein Orc/Cdc6 and no homologs of Cdt1, in addition to present Mcm as a hetero-hexamer complex. The completion of DNA replication, at trypanosomatid telomeres, apparently is similar to other eukaryotes, although the processing of the leading and lagging telomeres required to generate the 3' overhangs, which serves as telomerase substrate, remains unknown. With the generation of overhangs at the ends of the chromosomes, telomeres are frequently extended by the action of telomerase, whose control also remains unknown. It is worth mentioning that DNA replication in trypanosomatids initiates almost simultaneously in the nucleus and the kinetoplast, suggesting that regulation of DNA synthesis in the two DNA-containing organelles may be coordinated. The kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) consists of mini- and maxicircles, which are replicated by many proteins whose mechanisms of action remain unclear. This chapter aims to review and discuss the complex DNA replication mechanisms that act independently in the kinetoplast and the nucleus, as well as some fascinating peculiarities exclusive to trypanosomatids protozoa group.
Genome Maintenance in Trypanosomatids
Author: Gonzalo Cabrera, Viviane G. Silva, Isabela C. Mendes, Carlos R. Machado and Richard McCulloch
The genome is the source of life, providing the information needed to direct all aspects of organismal function. Propagation of life requires copying of the genome and faithful transmission from parent to offspring. Many challenges confront genome propagation, including ensuring the accurate and complete copying of the DNA, circumventing impediments to DNA replication, and maintaining genome integrity in the face of myriad insults and during periods of cellular quiescence. Just as importantly, the genome must be allowed to change, either incrementally through small mutations in sequence or by large-scale rearrangements. Such changes not only drive evolution, but can be integral components of an organism's life cycle. In this chapter we consider the rapidly growing body of knowledge on how the genomes of kinetoplastid parasites are maintained, by describing the range of genome repair and damage tolerance pathways that operate. We focus on Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania, three important human and animal pathogens, but we believe the lessons learned from the study of genome maintenance in these genetically tractable parasites are applicable widely, not only to other parasites but throughout biology.
Mechanisms Controlling Gene Expression in Trypanosomatids
Author: Santuza M. R. Teixeira and Bruna M. Valente
As members of a highly divergent group of eukaryotes, trypanosomatids present peculiar mechanisms of gene expression. These protozoan parasites have transcription and processing machineries that constitutively transcribe clusters of nonrelated genes into polycistronic pre-mRNAs, which are subsequently trans-spliced into monocistronic transcripts. Because of this, control of gene expression relies mainly on post-transcriptional mechanisms that are, for the most part, mediated by RNA binding proteins that control steady-state levels of mRNAs and/or their translation rates. Using primarily Trypanosoma brucei as a model, several groups have begun to elucidate the basic regulatory mechanisms and to define the cellular factors controlling transcription, processing, degradation and translation of mRNAs in trypanosomatids. This chapter describes studies that have been focused on a subset of genes that are differentially expressed during the life cycle of T. brucei, T. cruzi and few species of Leishmania. Although a predominance of regulatory pathways acting at a post-transcriptional level is found for most genes from all three parasites, it is also evident that the regulatory strategies chosen by different trypanosomatid species are not similar. Because of their complex and diversified gene regulatory machinery, T. brucei, T. cruzi and Leishmania spp. are able to respond rapidly to the drastic environmental changes they face during their life cycle, particularly when they move between their different hosts.
Virulence Factors and Immune Evasion in Leishmania spp.
Author: Jose M. Requena and Manuel Soto
Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania cause a group of diseases, known as leishmaniasis, affecting humans and also household pets, mainly canids. In the human host, different pathological outcomes ranging from self-healing cutaneous lesions to systemic visceral leishmaniasis are produced by these parasites; these diseases affect millions of people worldwide. Similar to a virus, bacteria and other parasites, Leishmania need to evade immune destruction with the aim of completing their life cycle in their mammalian hosts. Moreover, the long co-evolutionary history between parasites of the genus Leishmania and their hosts for several millions of years has led to a balanced relationship. To avoid the powerful immune system of mammals, the parasite has developed a set of sophisticated mechanisms to persist, replicate, and spread.
Virulence Factors and Immune Evasion in Trypanosoma cruzi
Author: Jorge González, Bessy Gutiérrez, José L. Vega and Jorge E. Araya
Among the pathogens that have developed a variety of strategies to overcome the host immune system, is the causative agent of Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi. During a long co-evolution process, the parasite has learned how to live in many different environments, including vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. The parasite has also evolved many invasive strategies, including several different ways to enter the host and also the capacity to target different host tissues. An acute systemic response arises in the host after the rapid parasite colonization, interfering with both innate and adaptive immunity. The capacity of T. cruzi to interfere with humoral and cellular immune responses is demonstrated by the expression of different sets of molecules called virulence factors. Among them, the role of antioxidant enzymes, cruzipain, the Tc85/transialidase superfamily, mucins, MASPs, GPI anchors, complement regulatory proteins and others are discussed in this chapter. The expression of parasite-specific virulence factors allows T. cruzi to overcome host immunity successfully and also to invade and disseminate in many different mammalian hosts. However, the picture that has emerged suggests that the basis and mechanisms of parasite virulence could be more complex than expected. Different aspects such as parasite genetic diversity, the effects of polyparasitism and the potential effects that vertebrate and invertebrate hosts have on parasite virulence and the outcome of natural or experimental infection by T. cruzi should be taken into account in futures studies to understand T. cruzi virulence.
Molecular Tools and Strategies for Diagnosis of Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis
Author: Alejandro G. Schijman, Juan M. Burgos and Paula L. Marcet
Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, caused by the kinetoplastid protozoans Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania spp., respectively, affect millions of people worldwide, most of them belonging to neglected populations. Diagnostic tests for Chagas disease are employed during epidemiological surveys of vectorial and oral transmission, blood bank screening, analysis of pregnant women and their newborns, and in individual cases. However, the currently available assays need improvement. The different phases of the disease, the transmission mode and the high genetic variability of the parasite increase the difficulties of making diagnostic kits with different markers suitable for the diverse scenarios of T. cruzi infection. Different Leishmania species cause diverse clinical features and sequelae and require different clinical management. In contrast to Chagas disease diagnosis, molecular diagnosis for leishmaniasis requires not only confirmation of the infection but also the genotyping of complexes, species or subspecies. Precise diagnosis and rapid species identification can facilitate decision-making respect to treatment and follow-up of parasite spread. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the most commonly used molecular tools described to date to detect T. cruzi infection and to detect and genotype Leishmania spp.
New Chemotherapy Against Trypanosomiasis and Leishmaniasis
Author: Jair L. de Siqueira-Neto
Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi affecting mostly the American continent eventually leading to chronic cardiomyopathy or digestive syndromes. Human African Trypanosomiasis is caused by the related parasite T. brucei, endemic in the African continent and being characterized by invasion and damage in the central nervous system. Leishmaniasis is caused by a number of species from the genera Leishmania and can manifest with different clinical outcomes including skin ulcers and visceral organ damage, being endemic in 88 countries in tropical areas of the globe. Despite having different geographical distribution and unique clinical symptoms, these diseases are all caused by related protozoan parasites from the order Kinetoplastida. Another aspect shared by these diseases is related to the treatment options currently available, unfortunately, all inadequate. Serious problems are toxicity and inefficacy due parasite acquired resistance or lack of natural susceptibility. The population affected by these three diseases does not represent an attractive economic market, reflecting on little pharmaceutical industry interest in developing better chemotherapies. However, in the last decade, the situation has dramatically improved, with the active engagement of philanthropic financial support, national government organizations, research centers, the pharmaceutical industry and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases Initiative (DNDi). After the development of screening assays, millions of molecules have been tested, and some have reached Clinical Trials stage. A milestone has been set for the year 2020, by the London Declaration: control of Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, and elimination of Human African Trypanosomiasis. Advances and progress to achieve these goals are presented in this chapter.
Recombinant Vaccines Against Pathogenic Trypanosomatids
Author: Priscila Martins Andrade Denapoli, Alba Marina Gimenez and Maurício Martins Rodrigues
The Leishmania spp, Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma brucei spp are the causative agents of tropical infections, and over 20 million people worldwide suffer from these neglected diseases. During the last century, vaccine development has had an undeniable impact on public health and may offer some alternatives for the control of parasitic diseases. Immune protection against experimental infection with these parasites has been studied and many types of immunogens have been used. Use of new technologies has allowed the development of recombinant proteins and DNA-based vaccines against those protozoans, aiming to generate both humoral and cellular protective responses. A large amount of data have been obtained from preclinical model systems which gave us promising results. The main challenge at the present is to translate what has been succeeded in these models into efficient human vaccines. The objective of this review is to summarize the efforts of the science community about the development of recombinant vaccines against trypanosomatids.

The only other occurrence of a similar crash (here Android ART: "Failed to find Dex offset for PC offset ...") has been reported to be potentially related to an infinite recursion issue. While we had an infinite recursion issue in the very same "a" method, it has been already fixed.
Some additional info:

*

*The PlotWidget class in question display a chart to the user via a third party library. The cart view is configured inside the above "a" method. We changed the library multiple times with no difference in the outcome.

*All of the third party libraries are up to date.

*We have been able to test the app with the same data displayed to one of the afflicted user, without being able to reproduce the issue (being sensitive information, we were provided only the data strictly required to render the chart).

*Attempts to reproduce the issue have failed with every combination of configuration/flavor, proguard enabled/disabled, zipalign yes/no, etc.
The app is compiled with Android Studio 1.5, with the latest SDK, targeting API 23. Before setting a lower target API and release an useless update for the umpteenth time, I'd like to know is someone experienced and solved similar issues.
Any advice is welcome.

From chef to candidate: Meet Rob Zerban, the other Democrat running against Paul Ryan
By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 4 hrs ago
After a hard week of campaigning, Rob Zerban, a retired businessman seeking the Wisconsin House seat long held by Paul Ryan, was ready to relax. It was a Friday night, and he took his staff to see the Will Ferrell comedy "The Campaign." As the theater lights dimmed, they each powered down their cellphones.
The night was August 10, and it was just moments before news would break that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was planning to announce Ryan as his running mate.
Zerban sat in the darkness, with nary a clue that his entire campaign was about to change.
As the credits rolled, Zerban reached for his phone. It was packed with texts, voice mail, alerts and emails. Sifting through the messages, he discovered that he would no longer be running an ordinary campaign for an ordinary House seat. As of that moment, he would be challenging the Republican candidate for vice president.
He left the theater and drove to his campaign headquarters in Kenosha to talk about a new strategy to turn Wisconsin's 1st District blue—something that hasn't happened in 17 years. "We all went back to the office and formulated the plan," Zerban told Yahoo News.
Even during the period before Romney tapped Ryan that August night, Zerban faced a daunting battle against the House Budget Committee chairman who has had a lock on his seat since 1999. Ryan's Republican budget plan, which proposes an ambitious overhaul of the nation's Medicare program, has turned him into the standard-bearer of the Republican Party even before the presidential primary season began last year. His wonky number crunching and well-received budget—by Republicans, that is—have pitted him head-to-head against President Barack Obama.
Going into the race in 2011, Zerban knew taking down Ryan would be no small feat. Since Ryan first joined the House in his late 20s, he has trounced all competition. And the Republican darling has received no less than 63 percent of the vote every election cycle since 2000. A Public Opinion Strategies poll conducted by the Ryan campaign in September showed the incumbent ahead of Zerban 58-33 percent. Still, Ryan's district isn't necessarily a Republican stronghold. The area supported Obama in 2008, but voted for former President George W. Bush in 2004.
In recent years, Ryan's national exposure has allowed him to build a formidable war chest with donations pouring in nationwide. As of his last financial disclosure filed at the end of September, Ryan's congressional campaign reported a flush $4 million cash on hand. And that was before he joined the national Republican ticket.
While Ryan might have the star power, Zerban is no token candidate or Democratic placeholder. Unlike Ryan's former Democratic challengers, Zerban actually has a fundraising apparatus in place, hauling in more than $1.7 million for his campaign so far. The number is nowhere near Ryan's fundraising cache, but considering that the most any candidate has ever raised against Ryan is about $150,000, Zerban is the closest threat Ryan has had throughout his incumbency. In the past quarter, Zerban outraised Ryan, $770,000 to $567,000.
"He's mounting a credible campaign," said Ryan campaign spokesman Kevin Seifert of Zerban. "They're at the parades just like we are, but I know it's not going to be enough. There's not one objective number that indicates that this guy is within fighting distance."
Although the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is not currently spending in the district, Zerban relies on backing from the Progressives United, a political action committee founded by former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, and the liberal Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "Most of his money is coming from out of state," said Ryan spokesman Seifert. "Rather than organic support behind him coming from the district, you've seen out-of- state progressives and staunchly Democratic interest groups are donating to support him in an effort to knock off Paul [Ryan]."
Fellow Democrats recognize the David and Goliath element to the campaign, and they respect Zerban for entering the race. When Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz realized who Zerban was during a visit to Milwaukee last summer, she threw her arms around him and thanked him for taking on Ryan. During a recent visit to Capitol Hill, people were excited to meet the guy challenging Ryan. "I think I've earned a lot of respect from many of them," Zerban said.
But it's name recognition that still haunts Zerban. The Ryan campaign, which is spending on television ads for the race, hasn't mentioned Zerban in any of its commercials. Despite running against one of the most high-profile Republicans in the country, Zerban is still a relative unknown; few have heard his name, even in his home state—something he's trying to change.
Robert Thomas Zerban was born in Belleville, Illinois, a small town just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. For part of his childhood, his family relied on government assistance programs for food. As an adult, he discovered a passion for cooking and graduated from the elite Culinary Institute of America in New York, receiving financial assistance from federally backed Pell Grants and Stafford Loans, programs he intends to stop Republicans from cutting if elected. Zerban went on to start two successful food service and catering companies, which he sold in 2007 and 2008 before being elected to local office as the Kenosha County Board supervisor. While he is relying on a nationwide fundraising effort, his entrepreneurial pursuits gave him the financial security to retire in his 40s.
In 2011, Zerban joined thousands of union protesters in the Madison statehouse to demonstrate against Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker's initiative to ban collective bargaining for public-sector unions. It was there, he said, that he made the decision to run against Ryan. "My wife is a teacher in the state," said Zerban. "I was with her when I received a call from Mike Tate, the chair of the Democratic Party."
He sought counsel from Cornelia, his wife. "Take a look around," she said, according to Zerban. "This is what you have when you have the wrong people running for the wrong reasons. And if you decide you want to do this, I support you 200 percent." With her on board, Zerban launched his bid.
Zerban describes himself as a "pro-growth liberal," and his policy stances on issues ranging from gay marriage to corporate tax rates indeed place him among the more liberal members of the Democratic Party. He intends to join the Congressional Progressive Caucus if elected, a group with nearly 80 Democratic members and the largest Democratic caucus in the House.
Had he been in office in 2010, Zerban would have been one of the voices urging Obama to make the federal health care law even more expansive. He supports a nationwide federal health care system—proponents call it "Medicare for all"—that would offer coverage to every citizen from cradle to grave. While he would have ultimately voted for Obama's health care overhaul, it "didn't go far enough," he told Yahoo News.
"We have the existing infrastructure in place, and I will tell you as a small-business man, I would have gladly paid a higher contribution into Medicare to make sure my employees could take advantage of that system now," Zerban said. "If we increased the people in the risk pool and include healthier populations and adjust the set Medicare contribution, we could make it solvent for generations to come. We don't need to turn it into a voucher program."
He also supports strict campaign finance restrictions that would end the system of candidate donations as we know it. All campaigns would be publicly funded under his plan, and political television ads would be banned.
"Everybody gets the same amount, they can't spend a dime more," Zerban said. "If they're caught breaking the rules they're off the ballot. We also have to outlaw independent expenditures, and I'm even in favor of outlawing television advertising for campaigns. That's how far I would go."
When talking about a budget plan, Zerban said the proposal put forth by the House Progressive Caucus embodies his values most. One of the most liberal blueprints the House voted on earlier this year, the plan would hike current income tax rates to Clinton-era levels, raise the tax rate for those earning more than $1 million annually to 45 percent, impose a 65 percent tax on estates over $500 million, implement a national health insurance program, cut spending on defense and spend $1.45 trillion on a jobs and infrastructure program.
"I feel it was the one that had the most sound decisions in how to move the economy and the country forward as a blueprint for the budget," Zerban said.
Zerban supports term limits on members of Congress that would keep them from serving more than 12 years in each chamber. Even if it doesn't become law, he would apply the standard to himself if elected and restrict his tenure to no more than six House terms and two in the Senate.
On social issues, Zerban would support a federal law making same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states, and he would continue legal access to abortion services. He also wants to decriminalize marijuana for nonviolent users and legalize it for medical purposes.
"In medical uses most definitely," he said about legalizing marijuana. "And decriminalizing it to a point where we're not penalizing somebody for a minor infraction of the law and sending them to jail and making them a hardened criminal. These are not productive and don't help our society."
When discussing policy, Zerban speaks authoritatively about his beliefs and relies refreshingly little on clichés to express where he stands. It's a quality that makes him not unlike his opponent, Ryan, who has taken his own share of lumps for writing the Republican budget proposal.
In the meantime, Zerban has challenged Ryan to local debates, requests that are unlikely to be fulfilled. He continues to campaign throughout the district, and he launched his first television ad last week that challenges Ryan's Medicare overhaul plan.
While Ryan is not unbeatable, Republicans consider the seat a secure one as long as the incumbent holds it. But, the hard truth for Democrats in Wisconsin's 1st District is that Zerban's best chances for joining the new crop of freshmen in the House next year may rest on the success of the Republican presidential ticket. A vice presidential win for Ryan could seal Zerban's fate: While Zerban would still have to run in another election it would most likely be easier than the one he's in now.
Re: Meet Rob Zerban, the other Democrat running against Paul Ryan
I hope Ryan looses both elections- a good start to getting a good Congress.
Hopefully, Ryan will lose twice on the same night.
Paul Ryan's budget will destroy medicare as his plan won't even keep up with inflation, so that coupon you will get won't cover your cost by a long shot. People who vote for that are simply low information voters!!!!!
Volitzer
Sorry to disappont but the Bilderberg fix is already in for Romney and Ryan.

Eminem Forgets He Is in Dr. Dre's 'Still D.R.E.' Video

Eminem has done a lot in his over 20-year career, and apparently some moments have slipped his mind over the years, including his cameo in Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E." video in 1999.
Shady and Snoop recently sat down for an interview to promote their new single "From the D to the LBC." Eminem released a clip from the sit-down on his Instagram page on Wednesday (July 20), where the two rappers discuss things they've done together over the years. When the topic of them both being in Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E." video comes up, Eminem is at a loss.
"Was I in that video?" the rap god questions.
"Yeah, you was running on the beach," Snoop Dogg explains. "That was like your debut album...You was running on the beach with damn-near no clothes on."
"I was?" Eminem replies, sounding genuinely stumped. "Why the fuck do I not remember? … What the fuck? You gotta show me that shit 'cause I don't remember."
Snoop then paints the scene for Em, which jogs his memory.
"Oh yeah, okay, okay. Now, I remember," Em blurts.
Eminem made a short cameo in the Hype Williams-directed video, in a scene that shows him chasing women on the beach. The video came out eight months after the release of Em's debut major label album, The Slim Shady LP.

Home Story - News SUNY Board's Vote Could Be Sign That Hospital Merger Is Moving Forward
SUNY Board's Vote Could Be Sign That Hospital Merger Is Moving Forward
Joseph P. Shaw
A planned merger of Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital has been stuck in neutral for months, but a vote by the State University of New York Board of Trustees in early May might be the first tangible step forward—with a significant next step coming as early as June.
The two hospitals have a confidential agreement in place, with most of the major points resolved when it comes to the structure of an eventual merger of the two, and Southampton Hospital officials have tentatively signed off on the proposal. But SUNY, which operates Stony Brook University, will have the final say on whether a merger takes place—and they have been moving at a much more careful pace.
The reason: The proposed merger of Southampton and Stony Brook hospitals under a single operating license came just months after a similar merger between a SUNY facility and another private hospital in Brooklyn proved to be an unmitigated fiscal disaster for the SUNY system.
SUNY Downstate Medical Center took over Long Island College Hospital (LICH) in 2011, but very quickly the new acquisition began losing money. SUNY decided to close the hospital, but that prompted a lawsuit, and that in turn tied the transaction up in court, making it impossible for SUNY to sell LICH. Crain's, a New York business website, reported in February that attempts to settle the lawsuit and clear the way for a sale had fallen through. The website noted that even a sale likely would leave SUNY $200 million in the hole as a result of the acquisition.
H. Carl McCall, chairman of SUNY's board of trustees, told Crain's, flatly, "This has been very costly for us. It was a mistake."
Robert Chaloner, president and CEO of Southampton Hospital, called the Brooklyn deal "a huge mess, frankly" for SUNY, and acknowledged that the Southampton-Stony Brook merger, potentially a good one for both entities, is a victim of bad timing.
"Basically, they put us through an incredible due diligence," Mr. Chaloner said of SUNY's trustees. "Locally, Stony Brook never had an issue. Stony Brook wants to do a deal."
On May 7, the SUNY board approved a resolution that might hint that progress is near. The trustees agreed that they support the "development of viable, long-term regional health networks and collaborations by its hospitals," and instructed SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher to "assess and approve" those opportunities.
The resolution specifically mentions the "active discussions" between Stony Brook and Southampton "to begin development of an eastern Long Island network." It also points out the benefits of new networks and collaboration in a climate of reform in the health care industry, as well as opportunities it could present to SUNY as an educational entity.
The resolution is open to interpretation—Mr. Chaloner said he expects Ms. Zimpher would go back to the SUNY board to formalize any final merger between the two entities, not to approve it on her own—but it appears to be a promising development, since it's the first time the SUNY board has officially endorsed the concept in the wake of the Brooklyn fiasco.
Next up could be the submission of an application to the Department of Health for a certificate of need, which would begin to clear the way for the actual merger. That could happen at the board's next meeting in early June; Mr. Chaloner said he had thought it could happen as early as May. It would be nearly a year before the Department of Health finished the review and allowed a formal vote from all parties on a final merger.
Merging Southampton and Stony Brook hospitals would be a major step for both, and it could lead to Stony Brook creating a network of hospitals on the East End, much the way North Shore-Long Island Jewish has expanded to 16 hospitals elsewhere on the island. A centerpiece would be a new Southampton Hospital built on the campus of Stony Brook Southampton, which would cost an estimated $225 million.
Mr. Chaloner said Southampton Hospital is the perfect partner for Stony Brook: the two already share facilities and a doctors network, the geography is favorable, and there are many other connections between the two institutions. As a result, both are patiently awaiting SUNY's imprimatur on the deal—though they see the ongoing delays as unfortunate. "It's a lost opportunity and lost time, from my perspective, and I think Stony Brook feels that way too," he said, noting that the original hope was for the merger to be resolved by the end of 2013. Now, it appears likely to be 2015 before any final agreement is inked.
According to Mr. Chaloner, the agreement would allow Southampton to continue under Stony Brook's Article 28 operating certificate. But the Southampton Hospital Board of Directors has structured a deal that would allow the Southampton Hospital Association to retain ownership of the physical assets, which would be leased to Stony Brook as an operator of the local hospital. Likewise, employees at Southampton would work for the association and be leased to Stony Brook. Even a new building, a big part of the hospital's future, would be owned locally and leased to Stony Brook.
The local board pushed for that arrangement, Mr. Chaloner said, for a simple reason: Should Stony Brook at any time decide to close the local hospital, all of the assets would revert back to the local association, which could revive Southampton Hospital.
Despite the safety net, the local board is very optimistic that a merger would benefit both Southampton and Stony Brook hospitals—as well as SUNY. "It's pretty unique, and I think a very, very exciting deal," Mr. Chaloner said.

We came across it which is why I wrote you originally, to try and understand, because we paid him for original work and he clearly just copied. Needless to say, we stopped working with him and re-disowned our website, which is the reason it looks completely different from yours now. Originally it was the same. I also suggest you contact whoever built and designed your site and let them know that people out there are straight-up copying his design and charging for it.

American actor best known for roles in films such as The Usual Suspects, American Beauty, LA Confidential, Se7en, Glengarry Glen Ross, Pay it Forward, Superman Returns, Moon (as the voice of GERTY) and Casino Jack. On TV he starred in House of Cards. A well known New York autograph dealer once said Spacey told him he was "Five Foot Ten."
In the movie American Beauty, next to Wes Bentley (1.78cm), Kevin seems to be 1.74cm or a little less.
Rob do you think Spacey is guilty of all the things he is accused of doing? I have great respect for the guy as an actor being a fan of House of Cards but in my opinion, he's a bit of a creep. He looks 5' 9-10 range to me in House of Cards so I think your listing is fair.
There are many bad apples in Hollywood, who have got away with all sorts of stuff over the years. For some, it's now caught up with them. I think differentiating acting performances from what people do outwith their work is more tricky for people at times, especially when it is potentially criminal behaviour.
As for his height, anywhere from 5ft 9 to 10 has been arguable during his peak 30-45 age range.
He's around 60 years old now, so while he might have been 5'10" in his prime, he's probably closer to 5'9"-5'9 1/4" today.
@Junior: Did you look at the two pics? Jamie is shorter than Kevin in them, not taller. If Jamie has been wearing thicker heels a lot these days then that would basically prove he's not above 5'9". Kevin could definitely be that height now, though.
If Jamie Foxx do wear thicker heels nowadays that i would leave him 5'9 1/2 and Spacey must be 5'9 1/4 now.
Funny enough, when the stuff with Spacey broke, I remembered Glenn telling me years ago that Spacey was said to like "young surfer types" and while I always figured Spacey was gay even before that, but thought young meant young adult. Guess young was an understatement! I liked Glenn, but this was also another one of Glenn's famous "I don't care what he claims, he's taller and doesn't know his own height." Btw, I'd generally peg Spacey somewhere between 5'9"-5'9.5" myself, but Jamie Foxx is not taller: Click Here Click Here Jamie is definitely not 177 cm. More like 175, but Spacey could be 176.
Another exclusive that night in 1999,was Omar Epps and Lance Bass all telling me 5-10.all 3 hang out buddies of mine.2 out of the 3,queerer than a 3 dollar bill.true story.
I make a mistake. Jamie edge him a little more like half inch. Spacey 176cm and Jamie 177cm.
5'9.75" peak, 5'9.25" now. Look exactly same height eye to eye with Jamie Foxx.
Rob, would you recognize him as an honest guy regarding to his claim ? He only off by 0,6 mm from his claim.
It's a reasonably honest claim, I think he looks over 5ft 9 (well at least did during his 30's and 40's), but not quite a full 5ft 10 for me...but enough to tell people you are 5ft 10.
Spacey did not edge Jamie Foxx. They were close in height. Spacey could be 5'9 1/4 now and Foxx at his low 5'9 1/4 too never a flat 5'9.
@Paleman that's not what he said he mentioned that spacey DID edge out Jamie foxx in baby driver not WOULD because he did in baby driver.
"Obviously what he did was abhorrent but he would still edge out..." Yeah, no kidding? How does anything he did change his height? This is a site about discussing heights, and nothing more. Did us finding out that he committed sexual assault suddenly cause him to shrink in real life? Of course not. He could do it with the dead and still be the same height, obviously, and so we should still give honest guesses of his height. If Rob had a page for Adolf Hitler we would still be entitled to give honest guesses because what we're discussing here is HEIGHT, and that is not affected by what someone does. Come on you stupid idiots, get a brain.
Look at this lineup With Spacey, Thierry Henry, Penny, Rod, Prince Charles and a few others.
Actually Thierry looks near 6ft 2 there, for once he stood tall. Spacey might edge out Charles.
Editor Rob: I'd say in the 170's was a decent estimate...not skinny, pretty average build.
Obviously what he did was abhorrent but he still did edge out Jaime foxx in there standoff scene in baby driver.
This is ridiculous. You are not allowed to base your claim on what you think of the person's morals. If we were rating character, or virtue, he would probably be a midget. He's obviously not a midget. Don't rate him like one. Giving him a short height just because you don't like him is called dishonesty, folks.
he rob, now in 2017, what do you think his height is in centimeters ? 175 cm or 176 cm ? Thank you and I'm wating a response from you :) He barely lookS 175cm in house of cards.
Rob, has the average guess on his height dropped due to all the allegations against him recently would you say?
Editor Rob: it may well, but I think in last few years he has began looking nearer 5ft 9 than say 5ft 9.5 range.
In the words of Milo!
Editor Rob: I can understand Ridley doing that, makes sense for a movie since many would boycott.
Yeah,the site has guys like Hitler and Stalin so why should he remove him,its a height site and the guy is appeared in famous movies i don't see why he should be removed.
Rob, will you have to edit him out, like the producers of his latest movie have done ? You'll have to replace him with Christopher Plummer !
Spacey's depravity is well known. He was caught on Clapham Common committing lewd acts. Awful individual, he truly is.
You know the saddest thing was this was an open secret. It was all over the gossip sites and even Seth McF made a joke about it.
Brandon Routh makes this guy look tiny.
Damn, he really does have an ego.
I would very much prefer 'Ryan Reynolds,' and even Eddie Murphy over this guy!
ROB, you should read the recent news about him. 🤢.
Editor Rob: yeah, his own house of cards has crumbled.
5'9" with a huge ego, the truth will always surface .
Editor Rob: a lot of these big names think they are untouchable and can get away with awful behaviour.
as for Spacey, well I'm not sure he'll be making any tv or film any time soon. In House of Cards he could look at a flat 5ft 9 a fair bit.
I believe he was 5'10 ft I think he is honest. To me he looked a strong 5'10 next to Kevin Kline (6'2 feet) in "consenting adults" movie.
He looks 6ft here. He claims 5'10 though, which is very honest. Only a quarter inch round up, not a big deal. I fall to that zone and also claim 5'10.
Editor Rob: it's beleivable he can look about 5ft 9 these days.
Looks below average most time I'd bet 5 9 in shoes.
He has looked this height since the 80s with varying posture.
He was no taller than guy pierce under Pryor oddly close to crowe..
He also has tiny feet not that they determine height but funny fact.
Weak 5 9 peak tops can look under I wager Jude Law might look right over his head at 510.
Ho Rob.. what do you mean when you say that a man "has Lost a fraction"? How much in cm is a fraction?
Editor Rob: in many cases a 1/4 inch or so.
5'9 based on horrible bosses but not below that.
A lot of downgraders over here. I think he's obviously over 5'9".
Solid 5'9 to me. No more, no less. how big do you think his head is? Length wise?
Simon Baker is holding his shoes in that shot if you notice, so he is barefooted afainst Spacey.
Rob, look at here, Kevin is atleast 1.5 inch taller than Simon Baker in LA confidential.
Editor Rob: they did look closer in another scene when talking together.
Rob, could we give Reg E. Cathey a page?
5ft 9.5 max peak and maybe 5ft 9 now. Denis Leary (who was maybe 6ft 1-1.5 range) towered over him in The Ref.
I think they both look around 5'8" with him (so about 1.75 inches shorter). Is that about right?
Editor Rob: the guy on left might be a bit taller than the middle guy who looks possibly somewhere in 5ft 8 range (spacey today can certainly look not that much over 5ft 9, he might have lost a fraction).
He is a weak 5'9.
Legit 5'9.5" guy now and 5'9.75" peak.
You know, he actually can look still this range on HOC. In fact, he can even look the full 5ft10 in some scenes.
Rob, do you have any idea how tall Reg E. Cathey is?
Doesn't look 5'10". I've always thought of Spacey as a strong 5'9", something like 176-177 cm - looks the exact same height as Bob Odenkirk. I think 5'9" flat is too low, but the current listing is a good shout.
5'10 is believable if robin wright is 5'5.5 but she isn't.
I've always thought he looked 5'9.5 tbh.
is 5'8 absurd for him?
I'm not sure he's lost more than 0.5in, and he has looked alarmingly near 5'9 for a number of years now, even appearing a little under that with a loose stance at times. 5'9.5 peak and 5'9 today is my guess, optionally 5'9.75 peak and 5'9.25 today.
Rob is 178cm peak possible and maybe 176-177cm today?
He's a short dude, probably around 5'9 or weak 5'10.
Spacey looks quite average on House of Cards, probably 5'9.
How long do you think Sting's face is? He's long had a very high forehead but with a beard it accentuates it. He looks like one of thosechess grandmasters now with the great heads like a Bobby Fischer!
Rob, perhaps it's time for a downgrade now to 5'9. Check out Click Here with Sting! And we've seen Sting look 5'10 range of late too! He makes Sting look a full 6 ft.
@Editor Rob: Think a cm loss is quite likely given his age and poor posture over the years? He can look more 174 cm range with sloppy posture but measured height would probably be nearer 176 cm today, looked a decent 177 cm in his prime.
@ Realist, I agree, was here to comment on that myself. Shahid is no more than 5'7.5 or 5'7.75 .. Spacey looked 1.5 inches taller than Shahid and Farhan at those awards. Plus, if you looked closely, Shahid had better footwear, bigger heel. Shahid has even claimed 5'10, ridiculous.
@ MD Seems like Dev might be 5 inches taller than Spacey if he stood up straight since Dev is leaning, loose posture.
Actually i take back what i said about him looking 174. He looked close in height with Jimmy Kimmel.
176cm and one of the greatest actors.
Rob can you add a photo and some more films like Se7en, Glengarry Glen Ross, Pay it Forward, Superman Returns, and Casino Jack? And also add He is also known for the voice of the robot GERTY in the film Moon and for his role as Frank Underwood in the TV series House of Cards.
5'9" makes more sense. On House of Cards most people are taller than him yet he still maintains an average look.
Rob, do you really think he's 177? he looks more 174-175 .
He's not this close to 5'10 unless he slouches badly. He definitely looks more 5'9 flat most of the time.
Rob, he went to the IIFA(indian awards) this year. He is dancing with an actor Shahid Kapur. Both have similar shoes. That guy is max 5'8 and Kevin looked about 0.5-1 inch taller. So probably Kevin is around 5'9. My guess is 171 for shahid and 174 for spacey.
Last night on Fallon, he honestly looked maybe an inch or two shorter than Fallon. I would have said 5'10 at least, maybe 5'10.5".
And lastly Kevin, I'd say he's somewhere from 171cm to 173cm tops, no way this guy is even close to 177cm range, hell I wouldn't say he's close to 175cm range either.. Just seeing him with Tobey, yeah..
Rob, it looks like you wrote the title of the movie 'The Usual Suspects' as The Unusual Suspects here.
@MD: He's lucky to hit 5'9 with Patel, yeah. He has appeared anywhere in the 5'8.5 - 5'9 range to me for a number of years now. Maybe he was 5'9.5 or so at his peak, but he's definitely not that tall now.
Someone have mentioned he looked close in height with Jason Bateman in Horrible Bosses - he did look around 1.5in shorter imo - and there is one scene where he stands in front of 6ft John Francis Daley and looked around 3in shorter. He has appeared around 5'9 flat before, so I'll go with a doubtful 5'9.5 as his maxiumum, as he tends to hold a poor posture. He's most likely in the 175-176 cm zone. 5'9.75 is a stretch.
Kevin is not almost 5'10". He's lucky if he's a full 5'9". He's almost 5'9".
in house of cards he's nearly shorter than everyone, most tower. 177 seems far fetched. I'd venture to say he's not hitting 5'9 and he never has.
About the same height as gabriel byrne in the usual suspects and a little shorter than steven baldwin. Benicio del toro was about 12m taller than him. I always thought he was 5 foot 8 but 176cm seems better.
I worked as an extra on "House of Cards". I'm a little over 5'10" and he's at least as tall as me. I'd say 5'10.5" or 5'11'. He's taller than he looks on screen.
Jason Bateman is no more than 180 cm, Spacey can't be much more than 174 cm.
In the usual suspects, there's a lineup that makes him look 6'.
5'9 i think, 5'9.5 at most.
Looking 3 inches taller than Pacino here.
Unless he wore .75" lifts in Horrible Bosses, I wouldn't say anything less than 5'10.5".
He looked surprisingly short next to 180 cm Wes Bentley in American Beauty. maybe 175 cm.
Looks shorter than he actually is for some strange reason. Maybe because he carries most of his weight in his stomach area?
by honesty he look 5'8 rob range.
In The Negotiator, he looks well under 5'9", maybe 5'7"-5'8" especially compared to the other actors like 6'2.5" Samuel L. Jackson.
I use to think he was 5 foot 8 but after watching some movies and next to bateman he looks 5 foot 10. 177cm is about right.
he look as tall as 5'11 jason bateman in horrible bosses.
i believe he is 5ft9.5 rob given. look at him in LA Confidential does't look over 177cm next to solid 5ft10 guy pearce.
Tough shot. He does look around the same height. What footwear has Moran got on?
Definitely shorter than Russell Crowe, who is about 5ft10-11ish.
Spacey is 5'8" max, because Prince Charles is 5'9 1/2" tall.
Kevin Spacey is 5'9 1/2" tall. Possibly a weak 5'10".
He used to get listed at 5'11 but 5'10 seems right.
In 21 he looks 2 inches shorter than 5'11-6' jim sturgess so 5'9-5'10 seems accurate.
Why is there so much conspiracy theory that all actors wear lifts? ALl of em. Maybe not all of em are as obsessed about height as you celeb height regulars in here.
Spacey doesn't wear lifts. Glenn said that to justify his inflating Spacey to 5'11 (because of his own self-inflation to 5'8). Spacey always appears 5'9 to 5'10 or lower with terrible posture.
maybe he wears lifts to look 5-11.guy pearce is only 5-10? maybe im confusing him with someone else,but i thought he was near 6ft.
Spacey at 5'11 and Pearce at 6'0? Hilarious.
with all due respect.dont tell me what celebs state themselves at.
See, this is the problem. He would even contradict celebrities when they themselves claim a lower height than what he "estimated". This "I don't care" attitude really said a lot about his ego.
5'9.75 seems right or 5'10.
KSpacey is 5'9.75" no shoes. I know him.
looked short in the usual suspects, but then again he slouched a lot.
Spacey looked 7 or max 8 cm shorter then Jeff Bridges in K-Pax. To me he looks almost 5'10''.
5ft4 is way way way too low.
in the recount tv movie, he looked 2 inches taller than 5'8 John Hurt, or mabye a little bit more. He looks an strong 5'9 guy, close to 5'10 , if not a 5'10 guy.
I guess spacey nothing less than 5'8.5 and nothing more than 5'10. Probably a strong 5'9 or weak 5'10.
He can give lots of height illusions, because he slouches nearly all the time.
I really want to know which media described that!
Here's the thing: In "Usual Suspects" when he would occasionally stand up straight, he was Gabriel Byrne's height who is listed as 5'10.25. Then that should be his height then. The police line up confirms Byrne's height of around 5'10.25. (To me, he looks 5'10.5) Therefore, Spacey has to be 5'10.25-5'10.5.
at least you see what i mean that he could look 5-11 at times.
Kevin Spacey is a weird one to figure out. Having just seen Fred Klaus last night, he actually really did look 5'11" next to Vince Vaughan. Then looking at him in American Beauty, he really looked a weak 5'9". I wouldn't rule out the possiblity of lifts for Spacey though (if, at the very least, next to Vaughan). 5'10" it is.
dr-morton saw kevin spacey looking 5-11 here in new york as well.im convinced he is more than 5-10.if not 5-11.one has to actually see these celebs in the flesh.i have one pic with spacey where he does look 5-11,cause he is slouching alot with me.woody harrelson also claims 5-9,and is 5-10.5,5-11.i saw him in the same sandals for a week.sometimes people dont know their own height.and i sqaushed the myth of lifts for woody too.i was made fun of for believing he was more than 5-9 on this site for months.then came up with the photo proof.so please,with all due respect.dont tell me what celebs state themselves at.i myself thought spacey was 5-9 for years too.
Pearce stated he was 5'10, and looks that height. Kevin Spacey also stated himself as 5'10, so he certainly would not be 5'11.
He was fractionally shorter than self-described 5'10 Guy Pearce in LA Confidential. Also fractionally shorter than Chris Cooper in American Beauty who is less than 5'10. Plenty of visible full length scenes in each of those films. I think Spacey is a weak 5'10, 5'9.5 at lowest.
from what i recall his posture was horrendous in the height chart pic.actually looks 5-11 in the street.
This guy's got really bad posture. He seems like he's 5'10. I don't know where people come up with 5'8. He's got 3 inches on Robin Williams. He can look 5'9 at times, but he's got a big head and slouches much like John Lennon did.
described as 5 ft 4? wtf?
he looks about 5ft 10", Kevin's one of these guys who looks short because they have bad posture and small features like small hands, and short legs.
theres a guy who i work with who looks like a 5ft 7" from 30 feet away, but u stand next to him up close he's a good 5ft 9"
Spacey is about 5'9". But then he's been known to wear lifts so he could be 5'8".
Did look 5'10" max next to 5'7" Helen Hunt. I can't help but laugh at Glenn bumping him up to 5'11". He can look it at times but come on... when the man himself says 5'10". *sigh* Another person Glenn was just trying to raise to boost himself.
I saw him a few years ago in New York. He is close to 5-10.
i know, again with The Usual Suspects....but theres a part in the making of, where Spacey is perfectly straight against the wall and height chart, and he is still about 2 inches under the 6ft mark,....with shoes on. Meaning he really cant be more than 5'9 really....?
Spacey played a man with cerebral palsy in that movie so his one leg was bent and he was hunched almost the whole time. In the rare shots he stood up straight he looked the same as Gabriel Byrne, a strong 5'10. Fantastic actor.
Terry it's a film, no offence but height charts in films or promotion pic mug shots are not likely to be that accurate. So many people on here mention them there is one on Nicolas Cage's page which shows him under 6 feet when he clearly isn't. In usual suspects Spacey is hunched over most of the time he looks comfortably 5ft 10 maybe a little more.
dits: you don't make any sense mate!! First you go: he looks 5'9-5'10" and the next line you go: he doesn't look much below average height... What are you smokin? 5'9-5'10 IS average height !!!!!
in 'american beauty' u can see that he really is around the 5'9-5'10 mark.he doesnt look much below average height there,especially after he bulks up a bit towards the end.
Saw the movie "THE USUAL SUSPECTS" last night.Found both Kevin Spacey and Stephen Baldwin are of the same height.Baldwin is listed 175 cms in here,so I doubt about Spacey's extra listed 2cms.There was a mugshot scene where all the suspects were standing beside each other.Gabriel Byrne looked a legit 178 cms though.
he looked weirdly short in 'the usual suspects',i thought he was a 5'5 or a 5'6 at max when i saw that movie (didnt pay attention to the scene where they stand against the height chart).he looks like a really small guy,more so accentuated by his voice.
llook at his shoulders, they are 2 inches higher than glenn's. it's obvious that he has bad posture- horrible, horrible posture. if he straightened his head back and stood up straight he'd be 5'10 and change.
he seemed cool, but again gotta stress he looks taller in person, if he said 5-11 I dunno but I prob would buy, minimum 177 on a bad day very tricky but I dont think more than 179. Having said that I was max 1.5in more than him.
i think he is 5-11 as of last year.i change my mind.d-ray saw him as this too.his horrendous posture make him shorter.
Like i tild rob before, honest height claim, taller than he looks on film which is weird but 177-78.
He looks about Mr Pearce's height.
cause height is so mysterious and fluctuating tabitha.
I am sure he is 5'9 flat, look at his shoulder compared to Cloony's. And yet Clooney is ducking his head forward yet again.
yep he would never look that tall unless you see him in real life like i did.
it is possible he had lifts that day.
regardless he is 176-177cm for him is accurate.
I would never buy 181-182 for spacey unless I saw it with my own eye.Never have I seen him at that height.doesn't look it to me. 179cm is maybe possible.
he can look near 5-11."
infact before 2004 he did look above 5-11 slightly around 181-182cm which is i think 5-11.5 or 5-11.75 (in shoes), after that he started looking a proper 179-180cm in shoes so that means he lost some height.
he looks 5'9 n that pic...but it is taken at a funny angle.
your not kidding d-ray.i saw him a couple months before this look 5-11.this night 5-10.5.maybe he really is 5-11.his posture is bizzare.
"he can look near 5-11."
he can look near 5-11.
actually giving him 176cm height currently is pretty accurate imo, he doesnt really strike me as a TALL guy, he is average. however no doubts he was 177cm or maybe even 178cm BEFORE 2004, because in 2004 i swear he looked 180cm with shoes (that had 3cm heels) and god knows what they had inside if anything.
before 2004 he mightve been 177 or 178cm no doubt mostly during the 90's and 2000/2001 possibly.
so yeah 176cm makes sense.
Glenn I'm so curious how tall exactly of Kevin Spacey.
Kevin Spacey was in Italy in 2004 for a short vacation and i saw him and back then he looked 180cm flat so i think the 177cm listing for Kevin is accurate although i have this feeling he lost 1cm and he is 176cm today. lifts not out of the question thats why sometimes he appear taller in ceremonies and sometimes he appears shorter.
im gonna say Kevin Spacey is 176-177cm but not more.
In the pic he looks about 5'9.5-5'10. Seems like Rob has been really accurate here.
the final night of his last play.i usually dont do crowded situations like that.i think was walking by.
Great story, Glenn. I can totally picture him saying that. Was this taken during his run with A Moon For The Misbegotten?
Spacey is standing 1 foot further from the camera so he looks shorter. He's close to Rob's listing. See the line up in The Usual Suspects.
plenty i havnt met yoooo.i never saw cameron diaz in my life.yet she is always around.shes around now.i went to an event she was at months ago and had to leave.didnt see her yet again.
i agree with d-ray,he did look taller than usual lately.5-10.5.at least.i have another where he is slouching alot with me,1999.actually,on the street he isnt too cool,one on one.not easy to obtain a posed photo.he usually declines.notice the taller security behind us for scale.he was joking with me here.he took a photo with me in a crowd of 200 people,but turned his head fast.i complained,and he then said "im gonna stand here 5 minutes until you get your photo".all 200 people heard and laughed.nice in a crowd.i hung out with him alot back in 1999.doesnt remember me,nor am i interested.
Damnnn... are there any celebs you haven't yet met, Glenn?
It's incredible the height range this guy's been listed at. From 5 ft 4 to 6 ft. I agree he's 5 ft 9 and 3/4.
I always thoguht Spacey was a smallish guy, like 5'6 or 5'7. But with Glenn he does look at least 5'9 and probably is 5'10 stretched out to his max. Come to think of it I do remember thinking that he looked close to 6' in "Superman Returns".
kevin looks like a very good man,it shines through.
Don't let the angle fool you. Look at at how high Spacey's shoulders are compared to Glenn's. He is 5'10".
From the picture he's 5'9 at most. Don't overlook that Glenn's closer to the camera. But I always thought he was 5'11!!!
Given the weird angle of the photo, Spacey's posture, and where he is in the frame relative to Glenn, I still say 5'10". He looks potentially 2" taller than Glenn here.
When I met him, he looked huge. Could've been some shoe help there, but I'd still bet on 5'10".
What do you say, Glenn?
Great pic, Glenn! And I agree with your estimation, 5'10"-ish sounds correct for Spacey, as you are a bit closer to the camera.
He looks the same height as Glenn, 5'8/5.8.5 barefoot max. no way 5'10!
this man is your height at max.
I think he's 5'10". Maybe 5'10.5". Either that or Minnie Driver is 5'9": Click Here . Probably she's 5'9.5". I think she's more likely to be 5'9.5" than Spacey, that's for sure!
yeah,i dont know where these shorter than 5-10 claims come from.
He looked 5'11"+ when I met him this evening. (Lifts, probably.) I'd guess he's no shorter than 5'10".
I see him in the street regularly, 5'10 is about right.
I think his posture is the problem. He's never not slouching, I think he's a good five ten, that's fair.
Wait a second. On the cover of The Usual Suspects, Spacey's in a line up along with others. His height being at the 5'8-5'9 mark (and this included shoes).
Ive read 5-11 for Garcia.now I dont think he is 5-11,but not 5-7 either.never met him.my guess is Spacey is 5-10,and Garcia is 5-9.
Someone has posted photos of him and Brandon Routh promoting "Superman Returns" in Paris.
Or either Brandon is slightly over 6'3" or Sapcey plain 5'9" as the former looks 6" taller. And there's no super-boots just casual street wear.
What do you say to that rob?
Danny devito was in The Big Kahuna with Spacey and looked about a foot shorter. If devito is 5 ft wouldn't spacey be 6ft?
Thats the only time I agree with you Mcfan.
"Frank2: A known lift wearer."
He doesn't have problems in sharing scenes with tall leading lady's and he's always sloughing. To be honest he doesn't give the impression that he wants to look tall unlike guy's like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise.
This guy has terrible posture. To me he looks 5'10.
Spacey is no more than 5'9". He could even be 5'8". A known lift wearer.
Look at this pic of Spacey beside Routh. Unless Routh is much over 6'2 this pic makes Spacey look 5'8-5'9.
[Editor Rob: remember superman boots are well designed to maybe give him a little extra imposingness.
Described as 5'4? All I can say is wow. Rob, could you give me a link to a page that says that?
"If you take a closer look at his shoes you see that they look a lot like cowboy boots...this might be the explanation why he looks so tall on that picture"!
I reckon Spacey is no shorter then 5-9 1/2. Looks 5-10 most of the time.
Yep, looks like it was just the angle.
Now this is odd, check out these two pics below, it apears kevin is atleast 6'1'' next to Brandon Routh who's atleast 6'2 1/2''. His footwear looks normal.
Oh yeah, Glenn, I heard all about Lance Bass ....and JC Chavez. Although they weren't 'together'. lol.
All 3 5-9 and lying on the height.true that.though spacey can look it.
Plain 5-10.of course he could be lying.
He told me 5-10.and Im glad Im not the only one that senses bonesmuggling on him.
Which 3? true on what you say,though there is qualities I can do without.
All three in that photo are known smugglers. Now whether that makes them bad people is another matter. I have many gay friends as well as a gay brother and I'd rather be with them any day than with some straight people I know.
Glenn, you called him bonesmuggling! LOL! I always did get that impression from him.

Since 1973, it has been the official policy of the United States Copyright Office to deny any copyright claims if the work was not created by a human being. In fact, The Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices states that in order for a work to be eligible for copyright protection, it must be "created by a human being." In one instance, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals seems supported the requirement that a human must be the creator for a work to receive copyright protection. In the case Naruto v. Slader, the court denied the monkey, Naruto, standing to bring an action under the Copyright Act. This holding from one of the primary goalsof Intellectual Property Law: to benefit society by incentivizing innovation by allowing creators and innovators the right to profit from their creations for a set period.
In his book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, author Nick Bostrom says that almost all the current A.I. systems used in our society have a "narrow range of cognitive ability." In other words, what most people consider to be A.I. today are data algorithms designed to analyze a given type of data and produce a certain result. The A.I. used to imitate Rembrandt was designed to perform that sole function, and only did so after analyzing 346 of his paintings. Likewise, IBM's Chef Watson has created original food recipes, but it was a task the A.I. was created to do and requires 9,000 different recipes to cross reference. Thus, while these A.I. creations are undeniably impressive, they demonstrate that modern A.I. is still a catalyst to creation for human beings rather than creators. The A.I.'s are only as complex or accurate as humanity makes them, and they are incapable of independent creation.
Society has unquestionably benefited from the creative products of A.I, but A.I. innovation would not be affected by any incentives to create copyright eligible material. Each A.I. can be compared to a hammer; it is a tool designed to perform a specific task. The only difference between a hammer and an A.I. is the complexity of the task as neither contains the independent will to choose whether or what to create without which any incentive system would be wasted. Thus, while A.I.s are capable of remarkable creations, they should not be granted copyrights for any work they create until they become capable of independent thought and action.

This casual khaki parka is very on-trend with its minimal design.
It's a light-weight jacket that will act as a comfortable and stylish extra layer. Cut in a slim fit, it naturally creates a streamlined shape while the fishtail hem is classic for this style of jacket. You can adjust the internal drawstring at the waist to fit your shape, and there's also a pocket on the inside for holding your wallet or keys.
Layer over a plain t-shirt for relaxed day or eveningwear. For extra warmth, partner with a plain crew knit or roll-neck jumper.
I appreciate the design, made in the perfect colour.

Fund says Wells Fargo unit worsened 'vol-mageddon' losses: court filing
Published: Thursday, 03 May 2018 05:45
(Reuters) - A Chicago fund manager that suffered catastrophic losses in a market plunge earlier this year has blamed the actions of its broker, a Wells Fargo & Co unit, according to court documents filed on Wednesday.
FILE PHOTO - The sign at a Wells Fargo banking location is pictured in Pasadena, California, U.S., September 8, 2017. REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni
The allegations were spelled out in response to a March lawsuit by Wells Fargo Securities against fund manager LJM Partners Ltd.
The response to the Wells Fargo Securities lawsuit is LJM's first detailed public explanation of why it was one of the biggest casualties of February's "vol-mageddon," the volatility-linked collapse of investments that had profited in calmer markets.
LJM funds posted heavy losses after the Cboe Volatility Index, the most widely followed barometer of price swings expected in the S&P 500 stock index, logged its biggest-ever single-day jump on Feb. 5.
But LJM's losses only became permanent the next day, the fund's lawyers said in a counter-claim filed in federal court in Manhattan.
Wells Fargo Securities forced LJM to unwind its portfolio in "a series of catastrophic trades that locked in the portfolio's primarily unrealized losses and made them real," LJM said in the filing.
LJM lost $266 million across its funds, "at least $115 million more than if LJM had been allowed to apply its trading procedures," the counter-claim said.
LJM founder Anthony Caine had said in a letter to clients in February, that working with its clearing broker, LJM "agreed that liquidation across all client accounts, regardless of clearing broker, was the most prudent action given market volatility and portfolio risks."
Wells Fargo Securities has asked the court to help it retrieve $16.4 million, saying the brokerage covered LJM's margin

Specific brainwave patterns occur prior to a "Eureka Moment"
Our image, which is as close as we could get to a graphic of a eureka moment, comes courtesy of Canadian graphic artist Steve Higgs
September 9, 2008 "Eureka" (Greek for "I have found it") is an exclamation used as an interjection to proclaim an epiphanic discovery. Famously pronounced in the bathtub by Archimedes when he suddenly understood that the volume of irregular objects could be calculated with precision through the displacement of water, a previously intractable problem. Real-world problems come in two broad types: those requiring sequential reasoning and those requiring transformative reasoning: a break from past thinking followed by an insight. It is this moment, where a problem solver makes a quantum leap of understanding with no conscious forewarning, that we term the "Eureka moment." A new university study in which brainwaves of humans were measured as they attempted to solve puzzles that call for intuitive strategies and novel insight has found an array of specific brainwave patterns occur several (up to 8) seconds before the participant is consciously aware of an insight.
Despite its widespread reports, the brain mechanism underlying eureka is poorly understood. What happens in the brain during that particular moment? Is that moment purely sudden as often reported by the solver or is there any (neural) precursor to it? Can we predict whether and when, if at all, the solver will hit upon the final eureka moment?
In a new study led by Joydeep Bhattacharya at Goldsmiths University, these questions were addressed by measuring brainwaves of human participants as they attempted to solve puzzles or brainteasers that call for intuitive strategies and novel insight. They detected an array of specific patterns in characteristic brainwaves which occurred several (up to 8) seconds before the participant was consciously aware of an insight. Right hemisphere was further found to be critically involved in transformative reasoning.
These results indicate that insight is a distinct spectral, spatial, and temporal pattern of unconscious neural activity corresponding to pre-solution cognitive processes, and not to one's self-assessment of their insight or the emotional "Aha!" that accompanies problem solution. Further, this study also postulates that consciousness is like an emergent tip of an iceberg of neuronal information processing, and remote brainwave patterns could reveal the underlying structure leading to that emergence.
The study was done in collaboration with Bhavin Sheth at the University of Houston and with Simone Sandkühler from the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Or does it just mean that we're human?
Seeing someone else suffer does often make us feel better than seeing them succeed – we can be grateful we're not them.
Hence the phenomenon known as Schadenfreude (you might like this video on the subject, by the way), slapstick comedy or the 'funny' video clips of people/animals falling over in a spectacular fashion that circulate on a regular basis.
Sometimes we can laugh at ourselves, too – and this can be healthy.
But we do tend to compare ourselves with others, and this can be in an unhealthy way – and fuelled by how we often talk or use social media to show only our 'best bits' and edit out anything less palatable, less successful, less 'attractive'.
Someone else being happy, fortunate or successful can cause us to focus on what we lack, too, highlighting our own failures and shortcomings – see my previous blog: 'Compare and Despair'.
Many of us grew up with the message that it's not 'nice or polite' to brag or to show off and that feelings of jealousy or envy are 'bad' and unattractive and so are to be avoided, suppressed or unexpressed – so this all gets in the way.
There's another impact, too – where sometimes we hold ourselves back from potential success, passing up on opportunities, so that we don't invite the envy of our family, friends and colleagues.
This amounts to keeping our friends at a cost to our true selves.
I read an article recently by Temma Ehrenfeld in Psychology Today where this was just what some of the people were talking about.
As for me, I intend to cultivate my 'finer nature' but also to accept, embrace and love my own imperfect, less palatable, 'shadow side'.
After all, it's part of what makes me a human being and essential to my ability to recognise, empathise with, love and accept this part in other people, too.


A company started in August 2017. It has many of the same people involved as Cambridge Analytica. Emerdata does not seem to have much internet presence, but they reportedly raised $19 million from investors in January 2018 and loaned $8.8 million of it to Cambridge Analytica.
A company primarily owned by Emerdata that was incorporated by Alexander Nix in March 2018, around the time the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke. Supposedly it will be closed along with other companies and other companies associated with Cambridge Analytica.
