Who paid for Weiner's wedding?

You've got to hand it to Anthony Weiner and Human Abedin; they seem to have a real knack for getting other people to pay for their lavish lifestyle. Not only do they live in a $3.3 million Manhattan apartment owned by a Hillary supporter, they appear to have had their lavish wedding (estimated cost: a quarter million bucks!) paid for somebody else. And because Weiner failed to disclose this gift, he may face criminal sanctions. Charles C. Johnson of the Daily Caller reports:

Anthony Weiner may have violated federal law when he failed to disclose his lavish six-figure wedding in his financial disclosure forms, says a government accountability group.

Ethics watchdog group National Legal and Policy Center examined the federal Financial Disclosure Reports for both Weiner and long-suffering wife Huma Abedin for 2010, the year of their wedding.

The cost for the ceremony was at least $100,000 but probably ran closer to $250,000 including all accommodations, clothing and extras. Neither Weiner nor Abedin had the resources to pay for the ultra-expensive wedding, yet neither recorded gifts on their Financial Disclosure Reports for that year.

Keep in mind that at the time, Weiner served in Congress, and Huma was a top aide to the Secretary of State - both positions involving sensitive information and potential influence. Undisclosed gifts to people in such positions raise the specter of potential bribery in any circumstances.

There is potential trouble ahead:

Even though there is an exemption for gifts from personal friends, the Ethics in Government Act requires written permission from the House Ethics Committee for any Congressman getting gifts worth more than $250.? Weiner had no such written permission.

There are a few fingerprints on this caper:

Abedin's wedding dress may have been almost as expensive as the wedding. Made by world-famous designer and dressmaker to Hillary Clinton, Oscar de la Renta, the custom dress would have gone for over $50,000.

Another Clintonite, Bryan Rafanelli, was the wedding planner, some three weeks before he did Chelsea Clinton's nuptials. The event was officiated by Bill Clinton, even though according to state law Clinton could not legally perform the marriage.

Abedin made only $135,000 annually working for the State Department, according to financial disclosures. Anthony Weiner made $175,000 as a congressman.

With a combined income of over 300 grand, the couple were hardly poverty-strticken. But 300 grand doesn't go that far after taxes and with houses in both DC and Manhattan. Certianly not enough money to be blowing a quarter mill on a party and fifty large on a wedding dress.

Now that Weiner is becoming an embarrassment to the Dems and to the Clintons in particular, he had better watch his step. There may be more than a few more undisclosed embarrassments that can be used as leverage against him.

The spectacle of people getting government paychecks living high on the hog - whether at lavish parties thrown by bureaucrats or at weddings paid for by mysterious others - is disgusting. The sense of entitlement is palpable.

Update: Charles Lipson writes:

Besides the possible felony of false disclosures to Congress, isn't there another legal liability: wouldn't the gifts to fund a huge, expensive wedding be taxable income, too, and, if unreported on Federal Tax returns, expose Weiner (I know, bad pun) and Abedin to the charges of filing false tax returns, too?

I would think that etiher a gift tax is due or else income taxes are due.

Clinical Trial at MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando Testing New Oral Medication to Treat Breast Cancer

Newswise ? Orlando, FL ? July 26, 2013 ? MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando is participating in a clinical trial to evaluate a new oral medication (BKM120) in combination with Fulvestrant to treat locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is hormone receptor positive and HER2 Neu negative and that has progressed on an aromatase inhibitor. BKM120 belongs to a new class of drugs called PI3K inhibitors, which in combination with traditional treatments may be able to slow or stop cancer growth.

BKM120 and Fulvestrant for Treating Postmenopausal Patients with Estrogen Receptor-Positive Stage IV Breast Cancer

Also known as the Belle-2 clinical trial, this study will determine if BKM120 in combination with Fulvestrant helps breast cancer patients live longer and prevent their disease from spreading. PI3K is an enzyme that plays a central role in the development of numerous cancers. By blocking this enzyme, BKM120 may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatment with Fulvestrant. Currently, Fulvestrant is the drug most post-menopausal patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer receive when their disease progresses.

?The Belle-2 trial is exploring a new drug that blocks an important enzyme critical for cancer cells,? said Rebecca Moroose, MD, Medical Oncologist, MD Anderson ? Orlando. ?Our hope is that this study will shed light on additional strategies to fight breast cancer, delay the progression of the disease and prolong survival.?

At present, there are limited treatment options specifically approved for treatment of breast cancer after the cancer has reoccurred or progressed on an aromatase inhibitor. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are a class of drugs used to treat breast and ovarian cancers in postmenopausal women. As breast and ovarian cancers require estrogen to grow, AIs are taken to either block the production of estrogen or block the action of estrogen on receptors. The development of this drug BKM120 may be beneficial in increasing the effectiveness of hormone blocking medications in certain patients.

MD Anderson ? Orlando is the only hospital in Central Florida and one of only five in the state to offer this clinical trial to breast cancer patients.

For more information on this clinical trial contact MD Anderson ? Orlando at 321-841-1620 or visit http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01339442?term=bkm+120&rank=6.

Mursi supporters rally in Egypt, no signs of compromise

By Alexander Dziadosz and Ulf Laessing

CAIRO (Reuters) - Thousands of supporters of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi gathered in Cairo on Friday for a rally to demand the restoration of the ousted Islamist, with his opponents also planning protests nearby.

More than two weeks after Egypt's powerful military shunted the contested Mursi from office, there was still no sign of a possible deal to defuse the crisis, which has divided the world's most populous Arab state and alarmed its Western allies.

The Muslim Brotherhood has called for demonstrations around the country, accusing the head of the armed forces, General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, of staging a coup to sweep Egypt's first freely elected president from power.

The army said it had to intervene after mammoth street protests against Mursi, who was criticized as incompetent and partisan, and has installed an interim cabinet to prepare for elections. It includes no members of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood or other Islamist parties previously in government.

Mursi backers have set up a round-the-clock vigil outside a mosque in the Cairo suburb of Nasr City. Thousands of sympathizers flocked to the site on Friday to join protests that normally gather momentum after noon prayers.

"Tonight, tonight, tonight, Sisi is going down tonight," a man shouted out, leading the chants.

A huge banner showed a picture of the bearded Mursi against Egyptian flags and read: "Together to support legitimacy."

Egypt's closest Western ally, the United States, has tried to tread softly through the crisis, still undecided whether to brand the downfall of Mursi a military coup - a move that would force Washington to suspend its large aid programs for Cairo.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry telephoned Egypt's new foreign minister, Nabil Fahmy, expressing hopes that the transitional period of government would be successful, a spokesman for the Egyptian foreign ministry said on Friday.

CHAOS

In his first address since taking office, interim President Adli Mansour promised on Thursday night to fight people he said wanted to destabilize the nation.

"We are going through a critical stage and some want us to move towards chaos and we want to move towards stability. Some want a bloody path," he said in a televised address. "We will fight a battle for security until the end."

Tamarud, the youth movement which organized enormous anti-Mursi protests on June 30, is also planning rallies on Friday, including one close to the Muslim Brotherhood's Nasr City vigil.

It dubbed its protests as "the people against terrorism", blaming Mursi followers for recent violence.

Policing was intensified on Friday and 10 armored personnel carriers were parked on a Nile bridge in central Cairo, a route Islamist protesters would have to cross if they tried to reach Tahrir Square, a focal point for the anti-Mursi camp.

At least 99 people have died in violence since Mursi's removal, more than half of them when troops fired on Islamist protesters outside a Cairo barracks on July 8.

Muslim Brotherhood leaders say they will not resort to violence in their campaign to reinstate Mursi, held by the army incommunicado since July 3, and insist they will not back down.

"The goal of our peaceful mass rallies and peaceful sit-ins in squares across Egypt is to force the coup plotters to reverse their action and force the coup supporters to change their position," Essam el-Erian, a senior Brotherhood official, said on his Facebook page.

"Egypt will be free and independent," he wrote.

Japan to launch satellites to monitor oceans

Japan plans to launch satellites to monitor the world's oceans, a report said Sunday, as Chinese government ships sailed in waters around islands controlled by Tokyo and claimed by Beijing.

The Cabinet office plans to launch nine satellites in the next five years to counter piracy and monitor the movements of foreign ships intruding into Japanese territorial waters, the business daily Nikkei reported.

They will also collect data for forecasting natural disasters such as tsunamis, it said.

The report, which cabinet officials could not immediately confirm, came as Japan's coastguard said three Chinese government ships entered waters around the Senkaku islands in the East China Sea.

The maritime surveillance vessels entered the 12-nautical-mile zone around Uotsurijima, one of the Senkaku islands which China calls the Diaoyus, at about 9:30 am (0030 GMT), the coastguard said.

The ships left the area shortly before 1:00 pm, the coastguard said later.

Ships from the two countries have for months traded warnings over intrusions into what each regard as their territory, as Beijing and Tokyo jostle over ownership of the islands.

The territorial row that dates back four decades reignited last September when Tokyo nationalised three islands in the chain, in what it said was a mere administrative change of ownership.

Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama came under fire in June after he said he understood China's claim to the islands.
