Pharmaceutical Money Flows To Anti-Obama 527
RightChange.com, a conservative 527 group funded by two pharmaceutical executives, has unleashed a volley of attack ads bashing Obama on economic issues.
The group just reported $2.7 million in contributions from its president, Fred Eshleman, CEO of PPD, a pharmaceutical research firm in North Carolina. PPD's chairman, Ernest Mario, gave an additional $1 million. Mario also runs Capnia Inc., a Palo Alto, Calif.-based company developing a system to treat migraines using medical gas.
RightChange.com's other directors also have connections to the health industry. Board member Jeff Barnhart is CEO of Cabarrus Community Health Centers, which RightChange's corporate secretary, Fletcher Hartsell, helped found. Both Barnhart and Hartsell are Republican state legislators in North Carolina.
One of RightChange's new ads mocks Obama's rallying cry of "Yes we can." It says, "Will his tax plan reduce wages for millions of workers 17 percent?" Cut to a clip of Obama shouting his slogan. "Will Obama really raise taxes on tens of thousands of middle-class workers?" Roll the clip again.
RightChange is a political newcomer. It seemed to come out of nowhere last month, first with a bizarre ad most memorable for its bungee cord, then with a direct assault on Obama. And now this barrage.
More ads and fact-checking after the jump...
Another of the new ads tries to link Obama to failed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac: "Fannie and Freddie funneled more contributions to Obama than any politician. Now they're making taxpayers clean up their mess."
Yet another ad credits McCain with foreseeing problems at Fannie and Freddie. "McCain pushed regulatory reform, attacked the accounting corruption at Fannie under Franklin Raines, who advised the Obama campaign," it says.
In the great tradition of attack ads, these beauties stretch the truth. Nonpartisan fact-checkers take issue with many of the claims, from Fannie/Freddie money to Obama's connection to Raines, and from McCain warning about Fannie and Freddie to Obama's tax plan. With enough money for airtime, though, that shouldn't get in the way.

I hate those wave machines where you don't move anywhere. The best waves machines are the ones that create a REAL wave like they have down in disney world I think.

looks like getting up is very different skill-set than your standard pop-up, no? be fun to watch someone who is weaned on one of these places grapple with a big day...surf skills may translate to wave machine skills but it prolly doesn't go both ways.

big deal. i have one of these in my house. it's fun for about 20 minutes and then it just gets old. i can't even imagine waiting in line. that must really suck!
its funny how everyone is bagging on this.. they need to make one thats a combo of typhoon lagoon and the wave garden.. thats it!! I'm writing a letter!!!
Poopy... wavegarden 2.0 looks like its getting a better push... I really want to see the next step with artificial waves. Ever since I surfed a bay during Sandy I have been having dreams where I can surf in bays off of marshgrass and crazy stuff. I want to see kelly's wave machine go into testing phase and put this "wave machine" out to dry.

Why if there is so much pent up demand for a "real" artificial wave, something a little bigger than wave garden 2.0 (i.e., get it from waist to a solid chest/head high), doesn't it happen with all the technology we have at our disposal?
Frankly, I would prefer the ocean any day of the week, but us EC surfers can't always count on the swell being there ...
definitely leaves something to be desired. Granted, a typical ocean wave is an under 10 sec ride, but all the contributing factors make it superior to this endless indoor wave.
An indoor standing wave would be good for learning airs and perfecting cutbacks, etc, but at the detriment of paddling and all the other many factors that come into play in ocean surfing...including acclimation to winter ocean temps. If this pool is all you had (or even the majority of your surfing), you'd be kooking in the real world/ocean
Anybody who really surfs should be careful of that thing. It could really mess up your surfing by creating bad habits like stalling from the tail to avoid being shot over the back. Ride that thing one day and hit the real ocean the next and it could end up being a frustrating session. I would ride it if it was me and a couple of friends, I would never stand in line and pay money for that.

European Markets Edge Lower
European stock markets closed mostly lower, staging a mild retreat from Monday's bumper gains. The euro surged against the dollar while gold and oil rose.
Bank stocks, boosted Monday by stronger-than-expected earnings from HSBC and BNP Paribas, led the way lower. The Stoxx Europe 600 index and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 closed marginally lower at 262.06 and 5396.48, respectively. France's CAC-40 finished 0.1% weaker at 3747.51.
Germany's DAX bucked the trend, eking out a gain of 0.3% to 6307.91, mainly with the help of auto maker BMW, which closed up 3.1% after reporting strong second-quarter profit. BMW said it has seen robust demand for luxury cars in China, along with a recovery in the U.S.
Despite some earnings strength in Europe, comments made by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke Monday that the U.S. economy is still far from a full recovery rattled sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic.
News that the Federal Reserve may consider increasing its bond purchases and introducing further monetary easing measures to help the economy added to the nervousness.
Doubts about the U.S. economic outloook helped drive the euro above $1.32, a three-month high. Tuesday afternoon in New York, the euro was at $1.3228, compared with $1.3171 late on Monday. The dollar sank to 85.75 yen from 86.48 yen.
At the time of the European close, the Dow Jones Industrials Average was down 0.2% at 10,662.74. Tuesday's economic news disappointed investors. Consumer spending and income were flat, while home sales and factory orders were weaker.
Asian stock markets closed mostly higher Tuesday. Financial companies and commodities stocks rose.
Gold for August delivery on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange was up 0.5% at $1,188.9 per troy ounce. Light, sweet, crude for September delivery was up 94 cents at $82.28 on Nymex.
On Wednesday, the U.K. purchasing managers' index for the services sector is scheduled for release. The euro zone will report retail sales for June.
In major market action: Deutsche Post DHL shares rose 3.7%. The company's second-quarter net profit after minority interests increased 22.7% to €81 million ($106.7 million), beating analyst forecasts. "We benefited significantly from the recovery of the world economy in the second quarter," the firm said, as it raised its fiscal-year guidance for underlying profit before interest and taxes.
Shares of BP ended up 0.6%. The oil giant said it will sell its oil- and gas-exploration business in Colombia to a consortium of Ecopetrol and Talisman of Canada for $1.9 billion in cash.
Shares of Sky Deutschland fell 26%. The firm said it is seeking to raise at least €340 million via a capital increase, its seventh since its initial public offering, as it reported a narrower second-quarter net loss of €81.9 million, down from €365.8 million in the year-ago period.
News Corp., the owner of The Wall Street Journal, owns a stake in Sky Deutschland and is guaranteeing the offering.
Shares of Arkema jumped 5.5% after the chemicals company said that it swung to a second-quarter net profit of €119 million, from a net loss of €114 million in the year-earlier period.
Airlines also advanced. SAS shares rose 3.7% in Sweden and Ryanair shares gained 0.4% in Ireland.
Drugmaker Shire rose 1.3% after it said that it will buy Movetis, a Belgian maker of specialty gastrointestinal products, in a €428 million ($566.2 million) deal. Shire is due to announce its earnings Wednesday.
In Greece, the ASE Composite stock index ended up 1.3%. The Portuguese and Spanish stock indexes also eked out small gains.

Fantastic local resort, hometown Olympic ski resort of Diane Roffe -- with plenty of intermediate and beginner rated slopes. I love the rope tows, J-Bars and T-Bars. Leave the "high speed" quad lifts to the mega-resorts.
Prices are WICKED reasonable, and lots of opportunity to develop SOLID ski technique. Just 20 miles from Webster, NY -- so close you can go for just a few hours. Gives us 1/2 hour or more "on" the slopes, instead of car-sitting to overcrowded Bristol. Makes the occasional trip to Ellicottville (Holiday Valley), or Cortland (Greek Peak) all the more special.
These are people who just want to Ski, Ski, Ski (and Snow Board). Instructors have this stuff in their BLOOD, with games and loads of fun for the kids. We ADORE the group ski club called "bears" for our elementary school aged children, who won awards last year (Now I am Boasting with Pride) and are getting addicted to skiing. Wow, its like magic.
After a couple years of renting (very affordable at Brantling), we bought used equipment and a season's pass for the entire family. Our deal with the kids, electronic games during travel to and from, . . . . but just FRESH AIR and skiing while there. Food from the snack bar is fine, (I like the chili ENTIRELY too much). But we often bring snacks, and/or sandwiches . . . all is good, No one messes with our stuff.
Oh, just one last thing. Please do NOT tell people about this secret Treasure. All the big, important people travel farther and pay the big, BIG for better known ski resorts. If the word gets out, it will ruin our special ski hills in Sodus, NY, just miles from suburban Rochester. (And the owners will get too rich, and not have to be so friendly).

The flat is really well located. A bit dark but perfect in hot weather (keeps cool). So nice to be able to relax there between excursions in the city. Great restaurants right at the door step as well as the terrific movie theatre showing old films. (Filmoteca) Thank you!
Great apartment, good location, friendly owner. Will definitely be staying again!
Small but clean apartment, great location to explore the city. Bathroom could use a minor refurbishment, but was ok.
The Apartment is in a excellent location, right in the middle of the gay area but this meant plenty of bars and restaurants in walking distance as well as being close to Gran Via and the shopping areas. The apartment itself is clean and modern and you could easily live there as if it was your own place.
A couple of minor negatives were that although the location was excellent, its close proximity to the bars meant there was a fair amount of talking, shouting etc from drunk people walking to and from the bars and this went on until 5am on both Friday and Saturday nights.
The other negative was that we got charged 58 euros on top of what we paid already to stay in the apartment - 28 euros for cleaning which Elisa discounted from 40 euros and also an additional 30 euros because we arrived after 8 pm. These prices are stated to be fair but i overlooked the 30 euro late check in charge so that is my own fault! Just bear in mind you can pay in theory for an extra night with these add ons. I would have done the cleaning rather than pay the 28 euros as all the stuff was there! Bit of a rip off!
Look around and you should be able to find somewhere that does a better deal than this, I think that what I will be doing.
Very good place to stay in Madrid for a couple or two good friends. Small but cute apartment with everything you need for a short stay. The apartment is situated in a nice area of Madrid so that you can explore the city center by foot. We would definitely like to come back!
a small, well organized flat
the apartment is small but clean and you have there all you need.
2 peapole is really the max for staying.
location is great,close to the metro and to most of the centeral places.
El piso está bien situado, por las noches hay bastante ruido en la calle pero bueno, la zona es así. Respecto al piso, solo teníamos dos toallas grandes y dos pequeñas para cuatro personas. Luego, el marco de la puerta del baño se salía cuando intentabas abrir o cerrar la puerta, algo que costaba evitar porque tocaba con el suelo y había que forzar. Además, hay que pagar 30€ de limpieza por un piso tan pequeño y que tenía una telaraña que iba desde el marco de la puerta del baño a una bombilla...
Voor de tweede keer in dit mooie en rustig gelegen appartement. Alle voorzieningen aanwezig en prima gelegen in het centrum.
Muy céntrico , perfecta ubicación .
Correcto, recomendable para fines de semana

Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn
Larry D. Rosen
Palgrave Macmillan, $17, 256 pp.
When the iconic Stage Manager in a recent off-Broadway production of Our Town made his entrance carrying a cell phone, a murmur rippled through the audience. Wilder's play has long been associated with slow time and small-town values. What would the playwright have made of this high-tech intrusion?
The question provides an interesting vantage point for assessing Larry Rosen's new book, Rewired: Understanding the iGeneration and the Way They Learn. A professor of psychology at California State University, Rosen has put together a book that is part ethnography (detailing the lives of "digital natives" born during the 1990s) and part manifesto (predicting how Web-related technologies will revolutionize the classrooms of the twenty-first century). Rewired is nothing if not topical. According to a report from the Pew Research Center [1], half of American teenagers send fifty or more text messages a day, and one-third send over a hundred; many sleep with their cell phones at their sides. Rosen says this translates into as much as twenty hours a day of media consumption, with teens toggling among multiple IMs (instant messages), Facebook posts, and, yes, the occasional homework assignment.
Rosen's take on this state of affairs can be summed up simply: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Teachers may bemoan the ubiquitous cell phone and students'...

About EarlB
By: EarlB, 1:24 AM GMT on March 23, 2014
Searching for spring all day, I never saw it,
straw sandals treading everywhere
among the clouds, along the bank.
Coming home, I laughed, catching
the plum blossoms' scent:
spring at each branch tip, already perfect.
-poem by an anonymous Sung Dynasty Nun
One thousand years ago
a Sung Dynasty nun
didn't take credit for her
inspiration, her duty not to fame
but to the service of feeling.
I read her words "…straw sandals treading
everywhere among the clouds…" and
I hesitated, re-read, re-read,
read but didn't understand
her imagery.
Was she searching for Spring in the
mountains, along foggy paths or did
she float into the sky, bee-like in search
of her plum blossom scent,
leaving her footprints in the clouds?
She found blossom's scent
and left her straw-soled footprints
of verse in my heart.

I've taken one computer programming class on Pascal years ago while in college and have taught myself the rest (which explains the gaps that I'm trying to fill). I currently code in Java and AutoIt but am trying to learn HTML and CSS.

Been programming since I was 12, and hardly a day has gone by since that I haven't written some code, however awful.
The last 25 years I spent writing s/ware used by my firm (in the Patents business) to manage our mission-critical workflow, initially in BP7, then Delphi. Retired after 5 years as senior partner at the end of 2012.
Btw, am amazed at - and humbled by - the quality of some of the contributions to SO. Otoh, it's a shame how quick off the mark some are to downvote posters whose English is not so good.

Civilization World beta open to all
If you absolutely must get some procrastination done today, know that Civilization World is waiting for you on Facebook.
ShackNews broke the news of the Sid Meier-designed social game going into open beta. Possibly this is some sort of conspiracy against any of us ever working again.
Although still not ready for full launch – you can see quite a few rough edges – the game is accepting all testers.
Civilization World features many aspects of the famous strategy series, as well as plenty of additional gameplay. The social side of things sees groups of players competing with others across epochs; it's all explained in this trailer.
Hit up the game's Facebook page, or just dive right in, to begin your descent into zero productivity.

The Newstead Town Board will be holding a work session on Tuesday this week at 7 p.m. at Newstead Town Hall, 5 Clarence Center Road, Akron.
The board, which normally holds the work sessions on Monday nights, will discuss several issues, including the proposed amendments to the Special Events Law and several building projects. The board is also starting to look at agenda items for 2014.

On paper that's not so bad but we've been so inconsistent this season that 'on paper' counts for nothing. 7 matches sounds like a lot but it's not - get a run of 2-3 losses (on top of the run of losses we've had already) and we're in serious trouble. It's pathetic that a team can go from Champions League challengers one season to relegation favourites the next, whilst keeping the same squad together more or less.I guess injuries and Pardew's inability to negotiate Cisse and Ba before Ba left really didn't help.

And well played Villa. Glad that they are being rewarded for their attacking play and Stoke's dire stuff is being found out.

Lowton's Goal - What a stunning strike, under pressure from two players and he gets it in. Also, I was thinking he was coming off about ten minutes before that as he picked up a knock, I'm so chuffed Lambert didn't insta-sub him.
Stoke may be dragged into it?
They're right in it. They've got some very tricky fixtures coming up and are probably the least in form side in the league. Norwich aren't safe yet either and West Ham need a couple of results to be out of it too.
If I had to pick 3 predictions to go down along with Reading and QPR it'd be Stoke, Wigan and Sunderland. But who knows really.

@Mr_Sleep I was listening to talksport during the first half and they were pretty critical of the way Stoke were playing. Seems as if the hacks have turned on Pulis' style and tactics whereas before they were quite defensive of it. I'll assume it's merely coincidence that this coincides with Stoke supporters turning on Pulis too.
They have a tough run in. Utd H, QPR A, Norwich H, Sunderland A, Spurs H, Southampton A. Only game I see them winning is Norwich at home, their away form is particularly poor.

Huge week for Newcastle now.
Fulham (H), Benfica (H), Sunderland (H).
I won't be too disappointed going out of Europe if we win both the league games. The most worrying thing is that we still have loads of players out: Debuchy, Tiote, Haidara, Ben Arfa, Coloccini, R Taylor.
@Syrette I guess I've been oblivious to their demise.
Really wish Stoke's survival was done to a final game with Arsenal, and then a last minute Ramsey goal banishes them to the dark realm.
Yeah, I'm aware as to how unlikely that is...Ramsey hitting the target.

That Lowton goal is incredible. Definite goal of the season contender.
@SuperCoolEskimo In fairness, much of the previous criticism of Stoke was somewhat unreasonable as they were holding their own but now they're not it's quite easy to criticise them. Also, they actually did have some creativity for a while, especially earlier in the season but today they really were awful. Not cutting edge at all.

If Stoke were a club scrabbling around at the bottom of the table and surviving on free transfers whilst selling their best players every season, I'd have more sympathy for their "pragmatic" football, but they've got one of the highest net spends in the league over the last few years.
@faux_carnation Yeah that is true, they do have quite a large spend and I'm in agreement that they should be in a better situation but Pulis seems stuck on one trail and I wonder if he even can. I can see him going at the end of the season especially with all the fans turning against him.
It's hard to feel sorry for Stoke. They resisted for years in changing their style, benefiting from other teams being unwilling to go down to their level and could grab games by the scruff of the neck and throttle the life out of it.
Having tried to be more expansive (Plan: give the ball to the fast lads on the wings and hope we get something out of it.), it's just not worked. Crouch, Jones, Campbell, Walters and Owen are not profligate strikers; Etherington (Especially poor after last season) and Kightly haven't been chipping in with the goals either and Huth and Shawcross haven't really been piling them in either from set pieces.
I'll be glad if they go down because whilst Villa may be poor, they're trying to develop the team. Stoke are just going backwards at a rate of knots and they're a shadow of the side they once were:solid at the back, strong on the break.

Plus if the Nextgen cup has shown us anything, Villa seem to have quite a nice youth team coming along.
Yeah, Samir Curruthers is destined to be a star. Also Grealish, Burke and Williams look like they could make the step up sometime soon.
Anything that upsets Pulis gets my vote.
Gervinho has skills. Who knew?

He's always had skills, problem is his brain often can't keep up with his legs.
This is really a post for those of you old enough to remember the 'Impossiball' - I think it was called that - the 80's cult toy that was essentially a ball weighted oddly so that you had no idea where it was going to go.
Well, do you remember how fun it was as a child to run with the ball at your feet? With each touch not knowing exactly where it was going to go, or what you were going to do next because you didn't know where you, or the ball, was going to end up.
Well, that's what it's like every game for Gervinho. No wonder he always has a big smile on his face. Bless him.

NO Lennon, No Bale, No Defoe. I'd go five at the back with Naughton and Walker as wing-backs. Dawson, SuperJan, and Caulker in the middle. Parker Dembele Holbty in mid - Sigurdsson, Adebayor up front.
Make it so.
Sounds about right except I think I'd play Carroll in the mid instead of Holty and Sigs in the mid as well, with Ade in the point of a Christmas tree.
Feel like dog shit today but still struggling down to the lane, so hoping to be rewarded for my effort.

LONDON (August 6, 2013)—The British utility company Thames Water says it has discovered what it calls the biggest "fatberg" ever recorded in Britain, a 15-ton blob of congealed fat and baby wipes the size of a bus lodged in a sewer drain.
Thames Water said the mound of "wrongly flushed festering food fat mixed with wet wipes" was found under a road in the London suburb of Kingston.
Thames Water deals with such blobs all the time, but says it's sharing news of the massive lard lump in hopes that customers will think twice about what they dump down the drain.
The company says untreated fatbergs cause flooding and backups.


text: I read a science fiction book a few years ago and have since forgotten the name of the book and the author. I was hoping the community could help me in remembering it. I actually remember a lot about the book, and will try to be as descriptive as possible. (And yes, I have tried numerous search strings both here and on Google, etc. with no avail) So, here goes: Book begins with a group of 4 people traveling back in time around 12,000 +/- years. The author's take on time travel in the book entails people only being able to go back so far, and never further. So the group ventures back in an actual machine (I believe it was silver) to a lush jungle where man is just getting started. He can make fire, hunt, lives in small nomadic tribes. At first, the group tries to simply do their research with minimal contact with early man, but it eventually happens. They help a couple sick tribe members, studying them as well. Meanwhile, one of the team members, an old englishman starts to get a hang of the local language. He is always viewed as rather strange by the others in the team. So gradually, the team decides to use this opportunity to study the tribe more. They hunt with them, eat with them, and eventually help them with a rival tribe. Blah, blah, blah, lets cut to the chase and give concise details. Spoilers I guess The old englishman actually is immortal. He finds a plant while on the expedition that acts like a fountain of youth. Determined to keep it to himself, he stays behind after the group leaves, intent on living forever, which he does, until 12,000 years later when the cycle begins again with "the group" leaving to travel back in time. He orchestrates a way for himself to travel back again with the team so he can continue his immortality over and over. Any takers? I remember more and more as I type this out, so feel free to ask for more details. I believe the author was male, and the book was under 300 pages (not to thick as my hands remember). The englishman in the book has been around for so long that his DNA was responsible for a high amount of humanity on the planet ... lots of paradoxes and such, but a great read. Hopefully someone knows the title so I can read it again someday

|Administrative History:
Beckett Hospital, Church Lane, Barnsley: opened 1865, closed 1977
Previous names: Beckett Dispensary, 1862-1869; Beckett Dispensary and Hospital, 1869-1872; Beckett Hospital and Dispensary, 1872-1948
The charitable institution originally known as the Beckett Dispensary was founded by trust deed dated 28 August 1862 by John Staniforth Beckett, whose endowment of £5,000 was to provide free medical and surgical assistance to Barnsley inhabitants too poor to afford it. No-one was eligible whose family earned over 18s. a week, unless the family numbered more than six; nor was any servant, apprentice or person in receipt of parish relief eligible.
Plans to build were submitted in November 1863 and the Beckett Dispensary was formally opened on 14 March 1865. It was managed by a committee of twelve governors who were elected annually, and who met monthly. Initially the Dispensary provided drugs, medicines and medical advice as it was not equipped for the admission of patients. There were, however, an honorary consulting physician, three honorary surgeons, one honorary surgeon-dentist and one house surgeon apothecary, who were all elected in February 1865. One in-patient was allowed accommodation in December 1865, 'but the permission must not be taken as a precedent'. In-patients were, however, soon regularly admitted and in 1870 the rule limiting admission to males was relaxed when four female patients were admitted, after several serious accidents.
Beckett died in 1868 leaving, in his will proved in January 1869, an additional £5,000 for the building and endowment of hospital premises adjacent to the Dispensary, with the desire that the institution should henceforth be named the 'Beckett Dispensary and Hospital'. Plans were drawn up by architect George Woodhouse of Bolton le Moor, and the first alterations and additions were completed in 1872, the additional funds necessary to complete the works having been raised by public subscription. Amended rules, approved by the governors in April 1872, designated the institution the 'Beckett Hospital and Dispensary'. In the year June 1872 to June 1873, 1,108 out-patients were treated, as were 73 in-patients, for whom there were 20 beds available, that number having risen from 14 in 1869.
In 1876 Mrs Lambert of London offered £2,000 towards a new wing for the hospital for the treatment of medical cases. Other donations followed, and the new Kendray Wing was opened in 1883, adding 36 beds.
Saturday and Sunday Fund Committees were established in 1881 and their continued efforts brought in more funding to add to the regular subscriptions. In 1902 a childrens' ward, containing 16 beds, was built on the strength of funds raised. More extensions followed, including the Moore Convalescent Wing, the Marshall Wing, that was formally opened in 1913 and cost £4,000, and the Cooper Nurses Home, named after trustee and benefactor Samuel Joshua Cooper.
In 1913, 4,876 out-patients and 1,043 in-patients were treated: 110 in-patient beds were by then available. During the First World War the hospital was placed at the service of the wounded and 1,115 soldiers and sailors were treated there, in addition to the many pensioners and demobbed men who received treatment from the Massage and X-ray Department.
By c.1940 the hospital (known locally as 'the miners' hospital') dealt principally with surgical emergencies and provided 154 beds. Surgeons from Sheffield visited weekly. The wards were all old in type and structure and many were overcrowded: so much so that the Cooper Art Gallery acted as an annexe to the hospital during World War II. The Beckett Hospital and Dispensary Act, 1944, provided for the removal of restrictions on St Mary's Church graveyard and for the sale of the ground for an extension to the hospital.
At the formation of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948, the hospital's management was brought under the newly created Barnsley Hospital Management Committee of the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board. Its name was shortened at this time from the 'Beckett Hospital and Dispensary', the name in use since 1872. This administration continued until restructuring of the NHS in 1974 abolished the Hospital Management Committees and Regional Hospital Boards; the hospital's management thereafter devolved to the new Barnsley Area Health Authority of Trent Regional Health Authority.
Recommendations in the mid 1950s had urged that a new hospital (later known as Barnsley District General Hospital), to be developed on the St Helen Hospital site, should provide orthopaedic, out-patient and casualty departments, and that the Beckett Hospital should be used mainly for the chronic sick, possibly with psychiatric treatment units. When eventually completed, the new hospital was effectively a merger between the facilities formerly provided by the Beckett Hospital and the St Helen Hospital. Services in the original Beckett Hospital buildings were scaled down further and the hospital closed on 13 August 1977; the buildings were demolished two years later.

text: How do I make a competitive team for Singles Random Matches on the GBU? ----- With the release of Black 2/White 2 here in Japan, I've decided I want to play alot more random matches online than I did with Black. I'm currently trying to put together a solid team. However, due to the rules of random matches on the GBU, the metagame is very different from the standard Smogon OU. (Not to mention the fact that the metagame thread on this board is quite dead >.>) Basically the rule that is really hampering me at the moment is team preview/pick 3. Due to the fact that you can only pick 3 pokemon, it really cuts down options regarding strategy. Namely, stall teams aren't going to be as effective (Unless you can really read the opponent in the pick-3 phase.) Secondly, the banlist is completely different from Smogon OU. Things like Garchomp or Speed Boost Blaziken are allowed, thus being quite hard to deal with. Thirdly, item clause and items in general. Basically in a 3v3, I've found that choice items are very risky. Not to mention a well placed focus sash will make or break the game for you. Additionally, how do you pick which item goes on which poke? Which one gets the life orb and which one gets the wise glasses or expert band for example. tl;dr, I'm trying to understand the thought process (that is obviously a bit different to standard OU) that goes into making a successful singles GBU team, as well as what strategies are successful?

If you guys need riding partners, meet at Big Mommas Bicycles Mondays and Wed. at 6 PM. If you dont have a bike, I will provide one for you to use. 850 Seagate Drive Naples, FL 34103- its behind the Hertz across from Waterside Shops- like the SW corner of 41 and Pine Ridge. We just go to the end of Port Royal and back- end of Gordon Drive- no stress, we don't keep together real well. Sometimes I have my 5 year old on a Surly Long Haul Trucker steel framed bike with a burley trailer cycle at 13 mph and sometimes I am trying to keep up with a Carbon Fiber at 22 MPH. So, no stress and no body babysits anyone else.
239-734-7734 is my cell phone and 239-263-0728 is the shop #. I just want you guys to ride, let me know how I can help. www.bigmommasbicycles.com

This study explored undergraduate students' interpersonal responses, namely general feelings toward and desire for further social interaction with trans persons in a helping context. Secondarily, this study explored the relationship between participants' intrinsic empathy, interpersonal curiosity and interest in further interaction. Two hundred fifty-one undergraduates at a moderate sized university in the southeastern United States served as participants. In order to assess baseline levels of empathy and curiosity, participants in session 1 completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Scale (Davis 1983) and the Interpersonal Curiosity Scale (Litman and Pezzo 2007). One week later, during session 2, the same students assumed the role of a peer counselor and read 1 of 4 (male, female, male-to-female, female-to-male) randomly assigned versions of an intake form completed by a fictitious peer client. Each version was identical, with the exception of the gender identity of the peer client. Participants completed various measures of affect and interest in further interaction. Male participants reported less willingness to interact with, and the strongest negative feelings toward the FTM peer client. Men reported highest willingness to interact with the MTF client and showed the lowest negative reactions towards the MTF client. Female participants' scores on willingness to interact and on negative reactions were similar across all four intake form versions. Contrary to expectations, baseline levels of empathy and curiosity did not impact responses to gender expression. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the factors associated with anti-transgender prejudice particularly in the context of helping relationships.

Timmy photobombing while I was trying to get a picture of how Jacob's bike looked on the back of our truck.
We're in the Itchy lot.
Dave had to run back to the truck to check if it was locked.
This was the sky that greeted us at the park -- it rained on us HARD about 2 hours later.
The shoes the boys got for Christmas...people asked about them, since they didn't have them anywhere in the park for some reason...
Timmy is trying to be the Minifigure in the picture :-)
Loved the minifigures all over the place...
We got our tickets at Window #5...made of Lego, ha ha.
The employees wore nametags on which they could stick minifigures -- they are available for trading -- the kids were tickled that I pulled a bag of minifigures from my purse -- I came prepared!
The firefighter sprayed water over the sidewalk, surprising us!
Duplo Christmas tree!
Here's where we started to see evidence of Legoland here merely being repurposed from the classic Cypress Gardens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypress_Gardens
The horses are Lego horses!

A Presidental motorcade, with the first family inside.

Jacob made Howie.
Lego animals were tucked throughout this walking path.
This roller coaster was closed due to lightning in the area...

Kittencal's Easy Tartar Sauce
Total Time
Prep 2 mins
Cook 0 mins
This takes only minutes to whip up but *must* be prepared a minimum of 3 hours before serving, longer is even better ;-) I have to say that I have made this using other brands of sweet relish, only Bick's relish seems to work best for this, you will see the difference if you use a different brand! My DH loves this with fish, but it also makes a great sandwich dressing too! Use only mayonnaise for this not salad dressing.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 236.59 ml mayonnaise (use Hellman's for this)
- 59.14 ml sweet pickle relish (Bick's relish is best)
- 2.46 ml garlic powder (or use 1-2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic to taste)
- Mix all three ingredients together adjusting the relish and garlic powder amounts to taste.
- Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours before serving.
- Delicious!
Most Helpful
Kitten, this sauce is delicious beyond belief.. I've searched and searched for a tarter sauce that we would like.. Yours is very easy to prepare, and to repeat myself, D E L I C I O U S.. D H was shocked when i served it. Don't know how I hadn't spoted your recipe before now. Yes, helman's is the best. Althiugh I couldn't fine Bicks relish.
Simple to make; great result! Thanks, Kittencal!
Very easy, quick and delicious. The garlic powder really makes this stand out. Thanks for the posting!

Veterinary Ultrasound
An ultrasound exam is an excellent diagnostic tool for evaluating your pet because it provides a real-time view of your pet's organs, thus providing information that is not obtainable in any other fashion. Dynamic processes such as blood flow, gastrointestinal contractions, and heartbeats can be evaluated as they occur. Ultrasound also permits your veterinarian to see the internal structure of an organ in a non-invasive fashion.
While ultrasound is most commonly used to evaluate the abdomen and the heart (an ultrasound exam of the heart is frequently termed an "echocardiogram"),it can be used to evaluate the eye, lymph nodes, the thyroid gland, the larynx, and virtually any part of the body that sound waves can reach. Often, but not always,used in conjunction with other diagnostic modalities such as x-rays and blood tests, an ultrasound exam is an invaluable tool in the medical evaluation of your pet.

I love Audio Player ... great way for me to post daily podcasts. Recently I received an email from someone who is legally blind. She uses screen reading software. She said that she has trouble "accessing graphical buttons" like the "play" button referred to in my blog posts when a new podcast episode is available (example).
I'm wondering if you know of anything I can do to make the Audio Player more accessible to folks like my visitor. Is there any tagging I can do or something? I would be most grateful for your help.
I am not familiar with accessibility standards for website, but I am going to start looking in to them today.

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about. ...
