Here are a few I have come across this week.
Patient records Bill stymied
CONTROVERSIAL legislation giving Medicare the ability to seize patient records has been stopped in its tracks by the ongoing debacle over cataract rebates.
Yesterday, the Federal Government was forced to halt debate on the Health Insurance Amendment (Compliance) Bill 2009 until next year, because both sides of Parliament could not agree on amendments.
Health department accused of censorship
November 28, 2009
THE University of Sydney removed from its website an extremely critical essay about a new multimillion-dollar emergency department IT system after pressure from the NSW Health Department. .
Doctors, nurses and administrators at four area health services heavily criticised the system - which tracks patients - as posing an ''unacceptably high risk'' to patient safety because it was so slow, cumbersome and inefficient.
Academic claims NSW Health censorship

Victorian Auditor-General slams public sector privacy
Information security policy, standards and guidance for the sector are incomplete and too "narrowly focused" on ICT security
26 November, 2009 13:26
The confidentiality of personal information collected and used by the public sector can be, and has been, easily compromised, a Victorian Auditor-General report has found.
The Maintaining the Integrity and Confidentiality of Personal Information report, which examined information security in three Victorian government departments, found that the ability to penetrate databases, the consistency of its findings and the lack of effective oversight and coordination of information security practices strongly indicate that this phenomenon is widespread.
AG slams Vic data security

- November 25, 2009
THE Victorian government is failing to put safeguards in place to prevent public servants snooping on our personal details.
Auditor-General Des Pearson is scathing in a report over the lack of effective and co-ordinated measures to protect personal information used by the public service.
He has particularly directed criticism at Premier John Brumby's own department and Treasury, but says his findings suggest lax information security throughout the entire public service.
Study to look at 'near miss' dispensing errors
25 November 2009
The Pharmacy Guild has urged pharmacy staff to take part in a study that will aim to discover the reasons behind 'near miss' dispensing errors.
Researchers from Monash University, University of Sydney and University of South Australia have teamed up to identify the nature of and reasons behind 'near misses' – dispensing errors that are detected before they reach the patient.

Medicare's new powers curbed
by Jared Reed
New privacy safeguards have been agreed to in the Senate in the contentious draft legislation which gives Medicare the right to seize patient documents when questioning payments.
The amendments mean that Medicare will not be able to "develop a reasonable concern" as to the clinical relevance of a service under investigation.

Big jobs blow as Coca-Cola shuts Athy plant a day after sugar tax is introduced
Closure of Athy plant
Athy is reeling in the wake of the news earlier today that the Coca-Cola plant is to close with the loss of 82 jobs locally.
Coca-Cola announced that following a review of concentrate manufacturing, it is proposing the transfer of production from its Athy International Concentrates plant to Ballina Beverages in Co Mayo.
It has proposed that Athy International Concentrates will close on a phased basis from September 2018 to December 2019.
"It is devasating news for the town – there is no other way to describe it, " said local councillor Mark Wall.
"It is one of the last manufacturing plants that we have in Athy. A lot of the employees have young family and mortages to pay so there isn't that option of going to Ballina. The plant provided generational employment in Athy."
The closure would result in the loss of 82 direct jobs, with 43 of those roles transferring to the Ballina plant. Employees from Athy would have the option to transfer. Coca-Cola will commence a period of consultation with employee representatives at Athy International Concentrates.
"These are highly skilled employees who have worked at the plant for 20 to 30 years," he added . "The company have even been hiring recently so that is why it is such a huge shock locally. There needs to be a government response to this. Athy has been over looked for too long. Athy needs employment – we need the IDA to get behind employment in Athy."
A company spokesperson confirmed that plant has been operation in Athy for the past 45 years. Coca-Cola took over operations from Schwepes in 2000.
"There are long standing employees here at the plant who have all been informed," she said.
"It was really important that they were told before it was announced publicly. They will now have time to reflect on what they heard today before any consultations with staff unions take place."
Last March the drinks manufacturer announced that in the region of between eight and ten employees at the plant would be made redundant.
The job losses came that time as part of an operational re-org that saw up to 50 redundancies across several other plants including Drogheda, Ballina and Athy.
The news of the re-organisation appeared at the time online before it had been announced to all employees. Described at the time as a 'handful of employees' that are impacted the news came as a huge shock to all involved at the plant located at Townparks Industrial Estate in Athy.
A tax into high surgar drinks such as Coke Classic was introduced in Ireland this week.

I Thought I Was Helping Her But I Realized Later That She Was Just Using Me
I Thought I Was Helping Her But I Realized Later That She Was Just Using Me
I am just writing this because I have no one to share this with and I don't know how to move on from this experience. I joined Government Services, but at that time I had no idea what would happen to me in the future. I am a little introvert type of guy and usually don't make many friends. She had joined the service after a few days. We were in the same section and used to work together, and our seats were also together. Initially, I didn't have any feelings for her as I didn't like those girls and I also had no experience with girls, but as time passed, I had developed feelings for her as she was such a cute and innocent type of girl.
I took a year to share this feeling with her and she had accepted. But our relationship lasted for only a few months, she started ignoring me, hiding things from me, making up lies, and I don't know why she had suddenly changed herself so much.
She became so practical about everything, and our relationship started getting worse. I tried very much to convince her, but she never listened to me. She started using me for everything when anything wrong happened in her life, or she needs any support, she came to me for asking my help, and I always used to help, but when I needed her support, she was always shouting at me and would run away. I had gone into depression because of her behaviour but she was not worried about it.
After some time, her marriage was fixed and she got married and was settled in her life. But a few months later, she told me that she was not happy with this marriage.
She was very sad about all these things. I felt terrible for her and told if she is not happy then she should move out from this relationship and we will start a new life. She was ready for it but she wanted some time, and I was ready to give her time, but later I realized that after I brought her out of this phase, she started again ignoring and insulting me. After some time, she got a transfer, I helped her again with whatever best I could do for her, but this practical lady didn't even phone or message me before leaving the station, and when I asked she put all the blame on me. After some time, I came to know from people that she had told them she was deliberately using me for her own benefits since the beginning and was only playing with my emotions.
I also came to know that she had physical relationships with many people here, something she had hidden from me. I could not even predict it as I thought she was a very innocent type of girl.
At first, I didn't believe these things as I thought I knew her better than them, but when people kept proofing of all this in front of me, the ground slipped under my feet. I was in a state of shock when I knew all this. How was this the same lady whom I considered a good human? How did it end up like this even though I loved her so much and she always used me and also made many physical relationships behind my back, and always pretended to be a victim of situations in front of me? Now I am in this shock, the girl who acts to be so good in front me was actually like this.

I'm posting this column in the week of Thanksgiving, which is the one week during the year when food pairing is the topic preoccupying all wine lovers. My situation is a little different than most people's, as I've been preoccupied with experiments in wine-and-food pairing for the entirety of the past year, and have hit upon some lessons that will change the wines that I pour at my table for years to come. One finding is particularly pertinent for Thanksgiving dinner, but also for the austere economic climate to which we'll return afterward.
I've been intensively focused on wine- and food-pairing for years, partly in connection with a restaurant consulting gig, and partly in my informal capacity as ravenous chowhound who also happens to taste wine for a living. As a result, I've been testing pairing principles for years, but this past year has involved a whole new level of experimental madness.
My wife has been testing recipes constantly for a cookbook she's co-authoring (and for which I'm writing wine recommendations), so I've been gleefully free of galley chores, left with nothing to do but run between the table and the cellar to grab bottles to test this or that pairing hypothesis.
This has worked out for the two of us pretty much as you'd expect: I frequently declare, "I love this whole process!" whereas she continually vows, "This is the last book--I'm never doing this again!"
The book (to be published next year) is entitled, The Splendid Table's How to Eat Weekends, by Lynne Rosetto Kasper, host of public radio's "The Splendid Table," and the show's managing producer, Sally Swift, who somehow blundered into a marriage to me in April.
The book includes some simple foods, but focuses largely on more complex and exotic dishes (many inspired in Asia, Latin America or the Middle East) that home cooks might tackle on a weekend rather than during a hectic weeknight. Of course, it is the flavor complexity of the dishes that links them to Thanksgiving dinner, which involves a famously diverse--even discordant--collection of foods and flavors and textures.
What was the most surprising wine-pairing finding? Simple, straightforward young wines routinely out-perform complex wines at the table.
A few caveats and corollaries will help to clarify the meaning and importance of this finding:
1) Complex wines are intrinsically superior to simple ones on account of being more interesting in their multi-dimensionality, but that has little bearing on their performance with food. If one's focus at the table is fixed on the quality of the match rather than the wine, simple wines like Pinot Blanc and Barbera regularly dish out drubbings to their more complex cousins, and do so while costing considerably less.
2) This principle is tested best with some patience. Evaluating matches rather than wines doesn't come naturally or immediately to most people, especially wine lovers. It takes a little time and practice to really get focused on the interaction of foods and wines rather than focusing predominantly on one or the other. As with art or music, anybody can say what they "like" right off the bat, but fuller "appreciation" takes more time and attentiveness. In my experience, novices who are presented with two wines often get distracted by the one that would be more interesting if tasted in isolation, losing their focus on the interaction and getting suckered away from the better match offered by the simpler wine.
3) Complex, aged wines can indeed outperform simple wines at the table, but only with simple foods in many cases. Of course, there's no law requiring you to care more about the complexity of food than wine. If you love old Bordeaux, you can be very happy at the table with it--provided that you are content to eat lots of simply prepared meat roasts.
4) However, the converse is also true: If you find roast beef a bit boring and want your meat braised with Middle Eastern spices and herbs, you'll probably be happier at the table with a simple Tempranillo than a complex Bordeaux. And in lean economic times it is an important fact that complexity in food costs much less than complexity in wine.
5) Complexity in wine comes from three main sources, all of which involve expense. The first is a great growing site, and this is reflected in prices for vineyard land that show up at the cash register. Second is ageing time, which results either in inventory costs for producers or cellar construction and opportunity costs for consumers. Third are production techniques like vinification in fancy French oak barrels, which can cost nearly $1,000 apiece. By contrast, you could make at least a dozen roasts that smell and taste amazing by shelling out for a little cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon and ground Aleppo chile, and those roasts will sing with a simple, affordable bottle of Cabernet or Syrah.
The cliché that "less is more" has always bugged me on grounds of illogic, but I confess that I've been surprised during the past year by how often it proves true when matching wines with complex foods.
For example, unwooded Chardonnay is usually a pretty nondescript wine category. I sometimes recommend particular bottlings, but I rarely award high scores to them. As a critical evaluator of wines, I'm more impressed by Chardonnays with oak-based accents of woodsmoke and vanilla and spices. However, as a wine-and-food taster, I found myself drawn repeatedly to unwooded Chardonnays with complex Asian dishes tasted for the How to Eat Weekends project. Again and again, the purity of unwooded Chardonnay would let the aromatic and flavor complexities of the food show themselves without oak accents contributing to a cacophony. The straightforward sweetness of the young, tank-fermented Chardonnay was a perfect foil for the spicy edge of the food, whereas the vanilla in an oaked version seemed disjointed and distracting, just as the wood notes in the finish seemed bitter when set against the food's spiciness.
I can offer plenty of other examples, but first a word of warning: Although I'm making a strong claim for simple wines, I definitely don't want to be misunderstood as making a claim for mediocre wines. "Simple" in this context is a stylistic term as I'm using it here, not a qualitative descriptor.
The type of wine that proved so surprisingly successful in our How to Eat Weekends trials were young, notably fruity, relatively affordable, unoaked or minimally oaked, and balanced in ripeness and structure. What enabled them to succeed was partly an absence of oak, overt earthiness, outlandish ripeness, or un-integrated acidity or tannin. Yet they also showed a positive presence of attributes like purity, freshness, integration and balance. The upshot of this is that not every unoaked Chardonnay will be a star at your table. However, the flip-side is that fine examples can indeed be stars on your table, out-performing oaked Chardonnays costing twice as much.
If you are open to the possibility that simple but well-made wines can prove to be great over-achievers at the table, the next step would be to start trying some of the world's leading examples. Here are eleven white examples as well as ten reds to get you started:
Muscadet from France's Loire Valley
Chasselas from Switzerland
Pinot Blanc from Alsace or Austria, or Pinot Bianco from Friuli
Pinot Gris from Oregon
Garnacha Blanca / Grenache Blanc from Catalonia or the Rhône
Trebbiano from Abruzzo
Moschofilero and Roditis from Greece
Inexpensive Chenin Blanc or "Steen" from the Loire or South Africa
Verdelho from Australia
Inexpensive Grüner Veltliner from Austria
Nero d'Avola from Sicily
Montepulciano from Abruzzo
Negramaro from Puglia
Inexpensive Barbera from Piedmont
Agiorghitiko from Greece
Inexpensive Pinot Noir from New Zealand
Tempranillo from Castilla y León
Garnacha from Navarra
Cariñena from Aragón
Zweigelt from Austria
Some of these grape varieties can make very complex wines, and that's certainly true for Chenin Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Noir and Barbera, so I've specified that it is inexpensive renditions of these wines (which will usually be young and unadorned by new wood) that I've got in mind.
In many cases, these are wines that wouldn't likely stop you in your tracks if you encountered them in a lineup of wines at a tasting, but which can prove amazingly versatile and delicious with food.
If you are itching to test this claim, I would encourage you to try these wine types with your Thanksgiving dinner this year or next. Muscadet would probably be too light to work with everything on the typical Thanksgiving table and would be better with seafood, but I dare you to examine the food-pairing properties of any of the 10 reds or of the other 10 whites. Thanksgiving provides as stern a test as any meal of the entire year, and I predict that these wines will pass with flying colors and keep you feeling thankful for all the pleasure and value that they'll provide at your table for years into the future.

Celebrating Great Fishermen
We are ecstatic to welcome Cordova, AK Salmon Fisherman Andrew Eckley (above) to SeafoodS.com's excellent team of providers.
Alongside Capt. Andrew, his sister Tracy and brother-in-law Justin fish daily aboard F/V Black Bird for some of the best Salmon in the waters of Alaska.
Their dear friend Mark also assists in this family fishery aboard F/V Silver Moon. A tighter group of fishermen is hard to find in the competitive industry of Salmon fishing.
Capt. Andrew's sister is one of only four females who are fishing the sometimes brutal waters of the Cordova region. Tracey grips her son Sam as she knows that he is the future, and generational fishing is extremely important to the great folks of Alaska.
Cordova Direct Coho Salmon
About this Family Fishery
Captain Andrew and his family have been fishing the waters for a great while, and their bread was buttered on the side of cannery fish. The operation of their family relied heavily on the Tinder Vessels that accepted their catch to move to the canneries of Alaska to then be processed and distributed throughout the world. Though it was fortuitous at the time they knew that the True Day Boat "Top-of-Catch" fish were much too beautiful to become an emaciated, canned, and shelved grocery store item. The logistics of moving Day Boat Salmon to the lower 48 is also a competitive and daunting industry that sometimes moves to the beat of their own drum. It may even overlook the smaller vessels who's catch warrant better representation. That's where another small team of passionate people come into the picture. SeafoodS.com was able to provide a logistical solution with Capt. Andrew. We were able to solve the challenges of bringing Eckley's absolutely stellar Salmon to a fresh Day Boat market. It was a mission to finally represent the quality of his catch and offer the respect that these Salmon deserve. Capt. Andrew and his family are vertebrae in the backbone of Alaska's Cordova region. They are the players in the game of sustainable Alaskan seafood. They are the bedrock of family business, and they are here to provide you with the Salmon that they love. We are here to simply get the Salmon from their hold to your prep table. If you like to trace your catch to the fishermen, look again to Capt. Andrew and family. From their family, to our family, to your family, Chef…
About the Fish
(Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Up now are the brilliant Coho, the Silver Salmon of Alaska. The mildly flavored Coho is a brightly colored flesh that has a leaner texture of the King Salmon. While market weights range between 6 to 8 lbs, the fish of the Cordova Direct program with Capt. Andrew consistently offers fish above 10 lbs. Larger Cohos tend to be a wider fillet and are readily apt to accept any cooking methods warranted by the chef. The slightly lowered fat content of Coho lends itself to a silky mouth feel that doesn't over encapsulate other ingredients. It is a perfect species for house-smoked applications and house-cured representation. It finds a home on the grill, in the broiler, simply sauteed, or even sous vide. It's vibrant coloration pops in crudo, tartare, sushi, and sashimi. Coho has a reputation as one of the best flavors in the Salmon kingdom and we excitedly offer it direct from the source. Look for availability midweek.
About the Passion
Like the culinary profession, farming and fishing is seeing the up-and-coming youth taking the reigns of a centuries old industries. I know your social media feed is loaded with pics of your favorite farmers' fare. The generational shift has always been and will always be, but it seems more rapid in certain arenas. These transitions all have a common goal; to be recognized for the talent, effort, passion, and dedication as quickly as possible. This is where Capt. Andrew and his family strive as well. We want the success of a hard job to be prolific and hasty for this young crew, and we wish the same for any Chef and Restaurateur. It's no light task of running a business, and any assistance that we can provide each other raises all ships.
Simply Call The Team At SeafoodS.com to learn more about the Cordova Direct Coho.

Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc said on Monday a higher dose of its experimental drug succeeded in improving symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis, a chronic bowel disease, in a mid-stage study, sending its shares up 24 percent
The company's shares, which surged as much as 62 percent to $50 after the bell, were trading at $38.20.
Arena said patients receiving the oral treatment showed statistically significant improvement in stool frequency, rectal bleeding and findings on endoscopy, compared with a placebo.
The company said it planned to move the drug, etrasimod, to late-stage trials based on the data.
Investors have focused on etrasimod and the company's pulmonary arterial hypertension drug since the U.S.-based Arena moved away from its weight-loss treatment due to underwhelming sales.
Arena sold the global commercialization rights to the weight-loss drug, Belviq, to Japanese drugmaker Eisai Co Ltd early last year.
Significantly more patients on etrasimod's higher dosage, 2 mg group, achieved endoscopic improvement, compared with the placebo, Arena said
However, the company said a lower dose did not significantly improve the disease symptoms on a scale measuring severity of the three indications. Ulcerative colitis is the most common type of inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation and ulcers in the large intestine lining.
Big drugmakers are also eyeing the ulcerative colitis treatment market. An advisory committee to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration earlier this month recommended approval of Pfizer's Xeljanz to treat the disease, while Celgene's ozanimod is being tested in late-stage trials.
Arena's pulmonary arterial hypertension drug, ralinepag, is expected to begin late-stage trials. The company is also testing a treatment for pain associated with Crohn's disease, which also causes inflammation but not restricted to the large intestine.

With the growing popularity of spicy food, it's always seemed odd that there wasn't a more structured heat scale to define which type of pepper is truly the hottest. However, New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute recently identified and confirmed the new hottest chili pepper on the planet.
The pepper in question is the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, about the size of a golf ball and recipient of an average heat of over 1.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale. After months of research of the known hottest chili breeds, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Came out on top, with some individual plants reaching over 2 million units on the Scoville scale.
This project was supported by prominent members of the spicy foods industry to determine average heat levels for the world's spiciest peppers. This way, a less subjective analysis could be used rather than the previous unscientific claims about which types of peppers are actually the hottest. The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion has been described as mild at first, but steadily building in heat.
In establishing a chili heat index, the Chile Pepper Instituted decided to judge the mean score of several pepers rather than just the hottest individual one, making the findings less variable. The same type of chili pepper can vary in heat depending on environmental conditions such as heat or water exposure. The research team planted about 125 plants of several varieties of peppers, including the Bhut Jolokia which was a previous record-holder identified by the institute and certified by the Guinness World Records back in 2007. Mature fruits were randomly selected, harvested, and turned into powder.
Capsaicinoids are the compounds that produce the heat sensation, and these were extracted from the samples and closely examined. The team harvesting these peppers went through about four pairs of latex gloves because the capsaicinoids kept breaking through the gloves and soaking into their skin.
News about the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion's heat has already spread within the spicy food industry, as the demand for plants and seeds are beginning to skyrocket. Videos have also appeared online of people eating whole peppers. Chili peppers make the blood flow increase and endorphins flow, resulting in red faces, watery eyes and a fiery sensation.
The peppers are also known to be some of the most flavorful peppers, making an excellent hot sauce. Depending on how much of a pepper you choose to use per serving, you could make a mild to hot sauce, and a family of could reasonably use two peppers to flavor their meals for a week.

Neurobiology of Addiction
Addiction is an extremely complex disease to treat, arguably more complex than any other because it fundamentally blurs the line between psychology and biology, and in many cases the patients own mind will be actively working against any attempts at healing.
Often the line between free will and diseased thinking is hard to determine, because the mind of an addict is so hijacked by the substance that its difficult sometimes to ascertain who or what you are working with, is it the patient, the addiction, or some synthesis of the two struggling for dominance? For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about what types of treatment will be effective to have at least a cursory understanding of the human mind, and how its components and functions relate to and are affected by addiction.
The addicted brain is probably best understood as a collection of individual players fighting for control over the will. For this metaphor we would divide the brain into two primary components, the 'higher brain', where reasoning, consequential thinking, and critical analysis takes place, and the 'lower brain' where immediate gratification, self-preservation, and basic instinct drive decisions. Understanding the different regions of the brain and their relationship to the disease of addiction is essential to understanding how to go about getting help.
Frontal Lobe
The frontal lobe endows us with much of what makes us human. It is responsible for consequential thinking, reason, and conscious decision making, and therefore its role in addiction cannot be over-emphasized. When we want to speed on the freeway, it's the frontal lobe that slows us down, and when you go on a diet, its the frontal lobe that overrides your desire for unhealthy foods, because it understands the consequences and long-term goals of the diet. Essentially, the purpose of the frontal lobe insofar as addiction is concerned is to delay gratification. The other parts of the brain are interested only in immediate pleasure and relief, but the frontal lobe is what allows us to make calculated decisions that will ultimately result in a larger payoff.
An addict in active addiction is driven by the lower parts of the brain that are interested only in instant reward, and the longer the addict stays in that state, the more the frontal lobe atrophies. Therefore it is of the utmost importance that the frontal lobe be 'exercised' in the process of recovery. Exercising the frontal lobe is simple, it involves doing things that you do not 'feel like' doing in the moment. Things like working out, going to work, eating healthy, and taking care of more mundane tasks like keeping a neat living space. Its not the tasks in and of themselves that are necessarily beneficial, but rather through the process of forcing yourself to complete them, the frontal lobe is exercised and regains the strength it lost in the depths of your addiction.
Parietal Lobe
The parietal lobe is primarily responsible for the processing of sensory information, such as sight, smell, touch and taste. It is used to process spatial information and orientation and allows you to reach out and pick things up and understand what you are seeing or hearing. All of this is great in a normal person, but in an addict, certain sights, sounds, tastes and smells become strongly associated with using their drug of choice. These external stimuli are sometimes referred to as 'triggers' in the recovery community, and it is pretty much universally agreed that they should be avoided or minimized to the extent possible. Being around places where the addict used, or seeing their drug of choice regularly can significantly slow down the recovery process, and most often leads very quickly to relapse.
Occipital Lobe
The occipital lobe is responsible primarily for lower-level visual processing, analyzing shapes and colors and then passing that information along to the parietal and temporal lobes for higher-level processing and analysis. This is also the region of the brain from which dreams originate. Dreams are thought by some to be a method of learning by simulation. The theory states that dreams are a way for the brain to simulate various scenarios and play out the outcomes of different decisions and actions taken and make guesses about how to best handle the situation in real life. In addiction, this process is hijacked somewhat, because the occipital lobe is not driven by the rational part of the mind, it is driven by the more primal instincts for pleasure and reward, and so often dreams will center around getting high. These are usually referred to as 'using dreams', and they can be extremely upsetting to a recovering addict, because they often bring up very strong feelings and desires for the substance in the dream.
Temporal Lobe
The temporal lobe operates to some extent in parallel with the parietal lobe in doing higher-level visual and auditory processing. However, where the parietal lobe has more to do with spatial relationships and orientation, the temporal lobe is more about identifying objects and developing and recalling memories associated with visual and auditory stimuli. In essence, the job of the temporal lobe is to translate visual and auditory information into ideas and abstractions that we can understand and conceptualize as symbols, rather than pixels of color and sound. Unfortunately the abstractions of an object in memory are associated with memories of past experiences with them. This can mean that an intravenous heroin user might be strongly triggered by the sight of a spoon, even if that particular spoon had never been used to cook heroin. It is very important for the recovering addict to be conscious of these environmental cues and learn how to avoid or manage them so that they do not lead to relapse.
The cerebellum is one of the older and more primitive components of the human brain, it is associated with very basic and powerful feelings like fear and pleasure, as well as handling simple aspects of reactionary motor control. It is here that what we normally think of as 'instincts' reside, this is the part of the brain that makes you eat when you are hungry, drink when you're thirsty, and jump out of the way of a moving car. In order to be effective at accomplishing these tasks, the cerebellum has to operate extremely quickly, so it does very minimal, if any, processing of more complex, abstract concepts like long-term consequences.
This part of the brain becomes grossly over-emphasized in the addicted person and begins to dominate and override the higher-level reasoning regions of the brain in all aspects of behavior and decision making. This imbalance takes quite a while to re-adjust, and can be slowed down substantially by certain factors, like constant exposure to triggers and stress, which is the primary reason why inpatient rehab facilities are so strongly recommended for anyone trying to achieve lasting sobriety.
Brain Stem
The brain stem is the most primitive part of the brain, and its role is limited almost exclusively to regulating autonomic functions like heartbeat, breathing, and the sleep cycle, as well as providing an interface between the central nervous system and the spinal column. This region is essentially what keeps us alive on a moment-to-moment basis, and generally has very little to do with addiction because it has almost no bearing on conscious decision making. Its job is simply to regulate the basic functions of the human body in order for the rest of the brain to be able to carry out its functions.

Any fix, maintenance or assembly work demands the best resources and products. One such indispensable product is Stainless Fastener. These fasteners are made utilizing Stainless steel and so are useful for joining or fastening in equipment, numerous installations as well as for construction functions. Making fasteners from stainless steel makes them resilient to abrasive and corrosive agents and reduces their maintenance needs.
The production techniques employed for stainless pipe fittings are cold heading and machining. Machining is a proven procedure that is suitable for fasteners of huge diameters and especially for small production purchases. Cool Heading is excellent when it comes to quality and affordability. The insert is established into distinct designs by and can move in the die and impact cavities plastically minus the substance being preheated. There are numerous qualified suppliers who provide an assortment of stainless Fasteners which are steady in quality.
There are numerous kinds of Stainless fasteners that exist for various applications. These include washers, bolts, eye bolt, Stud, stud bolts, stainless nuts, and anchor fasteners to mention a few. Automotive fasteners are physical elements like nuts, bolts, screw, rivets, stud and shims, etc for holding two or more materials jointly in a device.
Automotive nuts, an essential kind of stainless bolts are usually hexagonal or square-shaped steel fasteners having a threaded hole used for screwing a bolt that holds together permanent or temporary device by which the bolt passes. Automotive washers are fasteners like little smooth dishes and also have a hole at the center. The automotive washer's primary purpose is to keep or hold the load of the threaded fastener or bolt. Washers are positioned just beneath an axle showing, nut or joint obtaining the primary principle of circulating pressure and stopping leakage.
Stainless fasteners are utilized substantially because of their exceptional functions. These nails are employed in a number of sectors. A number of their benefits include high strength, longevity, low maintenance, readily available, resistance to deterioration and scratching, and simple replacement. Stainless fasteners are employed broadly in a number of applications. They are greatly needed in industries like Sugar, fertilizers, chemical processing, and oil and petrochemicals among others.
Selecting the most appropriate Fastener may be overwhelming task when one thinks of the wide collection that is obtainable in the marketplace. Specialists suggest that it's very important to bear in mind certain requirements of the job while choosing the standard of the fasteners. One should choose nails of acceptable types and sizes. Stainless fasteners can be found as original and replacement products on the market. The choice of fasteners which meet set standards will guarantee quality.
The procedure of building a machine or separating a joint may become easy using the correct fasteners. An ideal way of guaranteeing minimum fixes and maintenance problems as time goes on is to use the best fastening device of highest quality and this will be those made of stainless steel.

CES 2013: Smartphones roundup
Smartphones at CES? Believe it or not, the mobile industry had a somewhat unremarkable presence at this year's show, as key handsets were few and far between. Most phone makers are much more keen to announce flagship devices at either Mobile World Congress in February or their own press events, so the newsmakers in this genre for CES 2013 were lesser-known companies like ZTE, Huawei and Sony. After the break, we'll break down the biggest news from mobile over the past week and find out what's in store for us as we face the coming months.

Man's Body Found In Burning Pickup
Platte City Police Say 14 Vehicles Broken Into, 12 Set On Fire
Platte City police believe a man found dead in a burning pickup truck Friday morning is the same person who set a series of vehicle fires.
Investigators said police were called at 5:25 a.m. on a car fire at 1881 Wilkerson Drive. At 6:50 a.m., officers were dispatched to 2128 Catie Lane for another car fire and at 7:04 a.m., the body of an unidentified man was found in the passenger's seat of a burning pickup truck at 2113 Wilkerson Drive.
"He is not associated with the vehicles. He's not one of the owners," said Erick Holland of the Platte County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities said 14 vehicles were broken into and 12 were set on fire. In addition to cars burned on Catie Lane and Wilkerson Drive, one car was burned on Gates Drive.
"It is believed that the unidentified man is the individual who entered the 14 vehicles and set the 12 vehicles on fire," according to a new release from the Platte City Police Department.
Neighbor Christina Daar said she heard an explosion.
"A big boom. It shook the whole house," she said.
Police said the man has not been positively identified. Investigators said they are waiting until they can make a match of the identity through fingerprints.
Several agencies are helping Platte City investigate.

How to Report a Vendor's Late Payments to the Credit Bureau
Late payments are not only an annoyance that too many business owners have to deal with, they can have a negative effect on your ability to pay your own bills. One of the most effective ways to ensure that your vendors pay on time is to report any late activity to the three major U.S. credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. These bureaus are the record-keepers for credit-based financial activity, and negative listings with them affect a vendor's credit rating, ability to obtain loans and credit lines, and overall financial standing.
Register to report credit data with the three national credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion) online. Visit Experian's "Register to Report Credit Data" page, complete the short form and submit, or call 800-831-5614, then select the third option. The credit bureau will assist you in becoming a reporting member. Repeat the process for Equifax (888-201-6879) and TransUnion (online only).
Keep monthly records of every payment received from each vendor. Canceled checks, credit card statements or other written proof is necessary to make a report to the credit bureaus. If payments are late by a few days or even a month, they are not sufficiently delinquent to be reported. Habitually late payments, or one-off payments that are late by 60 days or more, can be reported.
Contact the vendor in writing. Mention the late payments, failure to pay and amount of time which has elapsed since payment was due. Inform the vendor that the late payments will be reported to all three credit bureaus if payment is not received within 60 days of the initial due date. At that point, you can report the vendor's debt.
Use either the e-OSCAR or Metro 2 credit reporting data systems to create a report that meets all federal standards and those listed in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The credit bureaus will perform a check on the information and post it accordingly.
- Negative credit listings can have a dramatic impact on a business or an individual. Never report inaccurate information to a credit bureau, and consider whether you can risk the harm to your relationship with the vendor that may result from reporting.
- Consider using a collection agency to go after vendors who have not paid on time. These agencies will pursue the debt, take the vendor to court if necessary and report the default to all three credit bureaus at the end of the process.

With my dad being a biker, he goes on rallies all the time and is forever getting his camping equipment out to get ready for the events. Thomas loves to help him get everything organised, and have a play in his sleeping bag at the same time, and so when we had the chance to receive the Witley sleeping bag from OLPRO, I knew Thomas would be happy.
He loves the idea of camping and always asks if we can go and sleep in the great outdoors. I have explained that Charlie is still a little young and that we will go camping when they are both a little older and can manage easier. For now though, we take to making dens under the table and creating our own tents so we can pretend to be camping.
My parents also own their own camper van and have told us that we can use it to go away for a few days as, although it isn't really camping with tents, it still does have the outdoor aspect to it which will be great for the kids.
The Witley sleeping bag is a grey-blue colour on the outside with little aztec style prints and a vivid red on the inside. I love these colours and they compliment each other very well. It is polyester on the outer which makes it shiny and smooth and is poly-cotton on the inside for comfort. The sleeping bag has a 52oz microfibre filling and weighs only 2kg so is very lightweight.
Even though it is quite thin and light, the sleeping bag is very warm indeed and both boys have enjoyed snuggling up inside it and even unfastening the zip so it's just like a normal cover for them. You can actually get two sleeping bags and they can be zipped together to make enough room for 2 people.
Thomas loves the sleeping bag and has even put it on his bed so he can sleep in it. I think he's a real outdoor boy at heart. For me, I love the fact that it has matching co-ordinating items such as wind breaks and melamine sets. Not only can you get to sleep in the great outdoors, but you get to do it in glamping style.
This exclusive design is not available from anyone else other than OLPRO and it will come in handy for all of our adventures and I cannot wait to get out camping with the boys. You can purchase this beautiful sleeping bag from the OLPRO website direct.

Two days after the alleged chemical attack on the Damascus suburbs of Eastern Ghouta, chemical-weapons experts are dissecting amateur footage to determine exactly what might have caused the deaths of so many hundreds of Syrians. All agree this time, unlike in past alleged attacks, that the number of victims and the lack of marks from physical wounds on their bodies point to some form of chemical poisoning. But they are puzzled that the symptoms""insofar as they are visible from the videos""do not exactly correspond to any particular known substance, including the large quantities of mustard gas, sarin and VX which President Bashar Assad is thought to have at his disposal. "It is beyond doubt that something has made a lot of people ill and killed them," says Dan Kaszeta, a chemical and biological expert who now runs Strongpoint Security, a defence consultancy. "But there is no obvious agent."

To become part of my community of hardheaded, rational, scientific Ph.D.s., I had to put on a weird gown and even weirder hat, walk solemnly down the aisle of a cavernous building, and listen to rhythmically intoned Latin.
Our mundane actions are suffused with arbitrary conventions, too. Grabbing food with your hands is efficient and effective, but we purposely slow ourselves down with cutlery rituals. In fact, if you're an American, chances are that you cut your food with your fork in your left hand, then transfer the fork to your right hand to eat the food, and then swap it back again. You may not even realize that you're doing it. That elaborate fork and knife dance makes absolutely no sense.
But that is the central paradox of ritual. Rituals are intentionally useless, purposely irrational. So why are they so important to us?
(NPR) Affordable Care Act To Force Millions To Upgrade Insurance
Despite promises by President Obama that people can keep the insurance they have once Obamacare is in full effect, millions will have to upgrade their policies to meet the benefit standards laid out by the Affordable Care Act. The measure will be in full swing this January.
PBS ' Religion and Ethics Newsweekly–March on Washington 50th Anniversary
[KIM] LAWTON: Close relationships across racial lines are still not all that common. According to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, about 40 percent white Americans and 25 percent of non-white Americans said they are surrounded exclusively by friends of their own race. Even when the circle was widened to include coworkers, about 30 percent of Americans said they do not regularly mix with people of a different race.
[THE REV. VINCENT] HARDING: Churches have a great opportunity and a great responsibility to find the ways to bring us together, not just to worship, quote, together, but to live together.
LAWTON: Vincent Harding believes Americans need to take a deeper look at one of the iconic lines from King's March on Washington speech, when he said he dreamed that his children would one day live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
(WSJ) A Coptic Monument to Survival, Destroyed
No one knows exactly when the Virgin Mary Church was built, but the fourth and fifth centuries are both possible options. In both cases, it was the time of the Byzantines. Egypt's Coptic Church""to which this church in modern-day Delga belonged""had refused to bow to imperial power and Rome's leadership over the nature of Christ. Constantinople was adamant it would force its will on the Copts. Two lines of popes claimed the Seat of Alexandria. One with imperial blessing sat in the open; the other, with his people's support, often hid, moving from one church to the other. Virgin Mary Church's altar outlasted the Byzantines. Arabs soon invaded in A.D. 641. Dynasties rose and fell, but the ancient building remained strong, a monument to its people's survival.
Virgin Mary Church was built underground, a shelter from the prying eye. At its entrance were two ancient Roman columns and an iron door. Inside were three sanctuaries with four altars. Roman columns were engraved in the walls. As in many Coptic churches, historical artifacts overlapped earlier ones. The most ancient drawing to survive into the 21st century: a depiction, on a stone near the entrance, of two deer and holy bread. Layers and layers of history, a testament not only to the place's ancient roots but also to its persistence. Like other Coptic churches, the ancient baptistery was on the western side, facing the altar in the east. Infants were symbolically transferred through baptism from the left to the right. The old icons were kept inside the church, the ancient manuscripts transferred to the Bishopric in modern times.
(Barna) Five Myths about Young Adult Church Dropouts
The Barna Group team spent much of the last five years exploring the lives of young people who drop out of church.
The research provides many insights into the spiritual journeys of teens and young adults. The findings are revealed extensively in a new book called, You Lost Me: Why Young Christians are Leaving Church"¦and Rethinking Faith.
The research uncovered five myths and realities about today's young dropouts.
Myth 1: Most people lose their faith when they leave high school.
Reality: There has been considerable attention paid to the so-called loss of faith that happens between high school and early adulthood. Some have estimated this dropout in alarming terms, estimating that a large majority of young Christians will lose their faith. The reality is more nuanced. In general, there are three distinct patterns of loss: prodigals, nomads, and exiles.

Local Paper Article–Federal judge dismisses Episcopal Church complaint
U.S. District Judge Weston C. Houck's decision effectively combines the two suits into one, acknowledging that authority rests with the state circuit court….
The decision signifies a victory for the independent diocese.
"We are extremely gratified that Judge Houck agrees the entire issue should be decided by a South Carolina state court using South Carolina law under which the Diocese and its parishes are incorporated," said Jim Lewis, Canon to Bishop Lawrence. "We are only sorry that TEC's legal action has delayed resolution of this matter and served as a distraction from our real mission of ministering to the needs of the faithful."
A.S. Haley–Court Dismisses Federal Trademark Action against S.C.'s Bishop Lawrence
Today Senior Judge C. Weston Houck of the Federal District Court in the District of South Carolina entered an order dismissing "without prejudice" the federal trademark infringement lawsuit filed in that court by Provisional Bishop vonRosenberg of the "Episcopal Church in South Carolina" against Bishop Mark Lawrence of the independent Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina. The dismissal "without prejudice" means that the Court declined to rule on any of the merits of Bishop vonRosenberg's claims, so as not to interfere with the State Court proceeding involving those same issues which is currently before Judge Diane Goodstein in the Court of Common Pleas for the First Judicial Circuit in Dorchester County, South Carolina (see the footnote on page 22 of the Order).
Should the State court proceedings not fully and finally resolve all of the trademark issues between Bishop vonRosenberg and Bishop Lawrence (and there is no reason to conceive why they should not so resolve them), then the dismissal without prejudice leaves Bishop vonRosenberg theoretically free to refile his Lanham Act (federal trademark) claims in the federal district court. However, if the State court proceedings result in a litigated final judgment, then that judgment would operate to bar any further such filings by Bishop von Rosenberg in any court.

Federal Judge Dismisses Case Against Bishop Mark Lawrence
U.S. District Court Judge Weston C. Houck today dismissed a federal trademark lawsuit filed by Episcopal Church Bishop Charles vonRosenberg against Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina Mark Lawrence.
The decision acknowledges the authority of the Circuit Court of South Carolina to decide the rightful owner of the names, symbols and property of the Diocese of South Carolina.
"The sum of all disputes and conflicts arising in the wake of the Diocese's estrangement from [the Episcopal Church] are more appropriately before, and will more comprehensively be resolved, in South Carolina state court," stated Judge Houck in the order dismissing Bishop vonRosenberg's lawsuit and denying his motion for an injunction to prohibit Bishop Lawrence from acting as bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina.

Sunil Lulla quits BCCL
MUMBAI: The BCCL corporate development president Sunil Lulla has bid adieu to the company.
"Today is my last day," he confirmed the development to indiantelevision.com. However, his future plans are still not clear.
The former MD and CEO of Times Television Network (TTN), Lulla, who took over the charge of BCCL a couple of months back when MK Anand was brought in to lead the charge, just got back from his holiday in Norway.
This follows a series of high-profile exits from the company. Times Now, ET Now and Zoom CEO Avinash Kaul and TTN English Entertainment Channels CEO Ajay Trigunayat had moved on in April, this year.
What is notable is that these exits came after Anand took charge in January.
Lulla has spent close to nine years in TTN in various leadership roles. Prior to joining TTN, he was at Sony Entertainment Television as executive VP for three years.
In 2000, he had started indya.com, which was later acquired by News Corp/Star. He is also the man behind the launch of MTV and credited to bring it to number one position in India. Lulla was general manager and country head at MTV India from 1996 to 1999.
In his 25 plus years in the industry, Lulla has worked with media, entertainment, technology and television broadcast. His early years were spent in sales and soon thereafter with JWT in senior positions in India, China and Taiwan. He was member of the team which helped turn around Sa Re Ga Ma (HMV) in India.
Lulla is a member of many industry associations and helps drive policy and agenda setting themes for the advertising, media and entertainment industry.

Land Rover put on a hell of a show unveiling the Discovery Vision Concept, raising us up a jet elevator on the USS Intrepid to bask in the SUV's glory. But after a closer look, I have to say I won't be holding my breath for its coolest features to see production any time soon.
The thing looks as realistic as the wildest Hot Wheels toys, with "DISCOVERY" emblazoned tires, spaceship seats, a glass/clear-plastic roof, and LED lines all over the interior. All that stuff was awesome, but Land Rover's people kept reminding us "this isn't the next Discovery, but rather, where our design language is heading."
The laser-based navigational tech, remote-controllability, and even phone-style driver interface remains in the realm of vaporware for now. If it works, they certainly didn't fire it up for us tonight. And about ten feet was the closest I was allowed to Land Rover's new toy.
I'm starting to worry that the all-touch-screen interface, see-through hood, remote-control drivability, and computer-arrangeable seats are all just there to distract us while Land Rover turns the once-venerable and very off-roadable Discovery into another bland-looking crossover.
But you know we're not getting any suicide doors on the next Discovery. iPhone-style unlocking over led-bars in place of door handles? I'll believe it when I see it. At this point I'd count on the new Disco or "LR5" as it may be known Stateside looking like a Ford Explorer with some gesture-based controls on the dash, and maybe a slightly unorthodox sunroof.
Prove me wrong, Rover. Please!

Gimp - I was surfing this place once and then went back home and had an insane rash in my crotch. It got so bad I went to the doctors, I couldn't believe what I had gotten from the damn pollution, flesh eating disease, Had to fly back to OZ to get medical treatment. After two months in hospital I was released with half a right leg. This is not a joke.

Greetings family,
The controlled chaos at the Casa de Webb continues as we slowly make progress on the home remodel. At any given moment you can see what I call the "Pigpen dust cloud" effect where Kendra and I look like Pigpen from Charlie Brown. On some days entire rooms look that way. Here's a kitchen a few days ago. We laugh about it and have grown way too comfortable with this disaster area. and our microwave broke. still laughing about it... nothing gets us down and we know our functional house is just a few short weeks away from becoming a maintainable reality.
One of our guiding principles for the home remodel was to get Easton and Layla's room settled as a top priority. Kids need to have stability more than adults. Easton is happy to have his room, but he's super excited about having his toys back. It's Lego city in his room again. He's already reassembled every star wars and jurrasic world lego set. now, if he just had shelves big enough to display them...
Layla's room is more of an aqua than Easton's light blue. Her new bedding and accessories, i mean stuffed animals, are neatly organized in her space. She has new paint and new flooring to go along with her new bedding so it's like a whole new world for her.
The other adventure we had was the pinewood derby with Easton's cub scouts. This was our first try at building any wood craft like a slot car. We went to a "build clinic", which was just a guy's garage full of wood working equipment who allowed Easton's group of cub scouts to work on their cars. The bonus of the adventure was the "sibling" category where Layla built her own car and raced against other cub scout sisters. Here she is sanding her car body in the wood shop full of boys and men.
Easton chose his car design from a stack of papers and I used the band saw to cut out something that resembled a car.
Not exactly a master piece, but as you can tell he didn't even notice.
The worked for an hour here at the wood shop and then we put in another couple of hours at home building and painting the coolest cars we could think up.
Layla gladly used the power tools including the dremel sander tool. Girls and boys should both know how to create with their hands and I'm glad Layla was able to join in the fun.
This is the scene on race day where 75 kids and cars ran down the track 4 times each. Do the math and you get an idea of the long, enthusiastic day we enjoyed.
Layla was so busy being social with the other cub sisters that she didn't even care to take a picture with her car. Easton was considerate enough to pose with his after the event was over. Neither of them won even a single race, but that is because we didn't put in the time to polish the nails, buy graphite for the wheels, or spend hours getting the weight perfect. We weren't there for the winner's circle anyway so I consider it a great experience for all of us.
Our house-mate, Alaysha doesn't make it on the blog much because she's busy working and volunteering so we don't see her as much as we would like, but I still get to have regular conversations in the evening about life and God and her future. She met some new friends at church who invited her to a formal evening event. Kendra jumped right in to help her pick out a dress, do her hair, and get ready for the special event. I especially like how Layla is seeing what it means to be a modest, classy young adult who is developing her character and integrity.
The finish line for our insanely full schedules is just a few weeks away... i can't wait...

Brunch place: The depotFriday, July 19, 2013
Back to caffeine fixes again. I hadn't even really realised I'd been off them, strangely, but guess I had been a tab bit busy these days. The past few weeks have been full of early morning starts with the moonlight still shining the way to work, and late night outings with goodbye dinners and such.
When dinners haven't been possible, there were weekend brunches as well, of course. The Depot does all of breakfast, lunch and tea, though. Just across the Sky Tower next to the Convention centre entrance, I had heard many good reviews of this place. I love the new trending eating places with the open kitchen spaces where the chefs are hard at work and huge communal tables with mix matched chairs, in a modern or industrial but both quite hip atmospheres.
The Depot is definitely more rustic hip industrial, with shabby high wooden table and stools, white tiles in the open kitchen space, and a huge patchwork styled colourful sliding door to the toilets. The light is always on dim even during the day, in almost a conspiratorial secret meeting kind of way. Or, that could be just me.
The Depot prides itself on dealing only with the best ingredients. For their breakfast menu, between 7 and 10.45am, they only have three choices each morning. We ordered mini French inspired beignets with passion fruit cream cheese on the side, and a bacon and egg doona. Not sure why they are called doonas, I'm so sure I've never heard of this word associated to anything other than duvets and blankets to sleep with, not with foods. Anyhow, I always love the occasional chewy warmness of bacon strips for my brekkie.
I wish I could have spend the whole day here, conspiring secrets with my fellow eatery connoisseur S, but unfortunately we were both tied to other schedules this day. I will have to hold my spending habits on close watch from now on, seriously, I need to start saving to fund my move to Melbourne next month!
