BioBran MGN-3 is one of the most effective food supplements available for helping the body maintain a strong and healthy immune system.
This pack contains 50 x 250mg tablets of Biobran MGN-3 for those on a standard maintenance dose of 500mg per day, or for those on a higher dose regime that would rather take tablets than sachets.
Developed in Japan by Daiwa Pharmaceutical in 1992, under the generic or research name MGN-3 (from the initials of its three developers), BioBran is manufactured in Japan using a patented process to break down (pre-digest) rice bran using enzymes from Shitake mushrooms. The resulting compound contains a unique blend of glyconutrients such as arabinoxylan, as well as other short chain polysaccharides and hemicellulose compounds. This unique molecular fingerprint makes it significantly more effective than any other immune system supplement on the market today, giving the body its best opportunity to optimize its own natural healing mechanisms. According to M. Ghoneum, a professor of immunology at Drew University in the United States and a researcher with over 30 years experience, BioBran® MGN-3 is the most promising immune complex he has examined.
How does BioBran MGN-3 help us maintain a strong immune system? Our immune system is comprised of an army of white blood cells — NK cells, T and B cells — which travel around inside us destroying the millions of intruding microbes that penetrate our bodies every day, as well as the thousands of newly infected or abnormal body cells that develop. BioBran MGN-3 gives our white blood cells the glyco-nutritional support to carry out their vital role energetically and efficiently, helping to optimize immune function.
Another advantage of BioBran MGN-3 is that it retains its effectiveness in the body even after a prolonged period of use - in other words, there is none of the usual drop-off effect over time that is common with many other nutritional supplements. BioBran is also highly absorbable, completely non-toxic, GMO-free and contains no actual mushroom in the finished product, which means it can be safely taken by those with mushroom intolerances. (The only situation when one should avoid using this product is obviously in conjunction with immunosuppressants.)Directions for Use:
For normal health maintenance, the recommended intake is 500mg per day with meals. Those who need optimum immune system support, take 3 grams per day for 8 weeks (1g with each meal), and then 1 gram per day thereafter.
BioBran MGN-3 is available in 250mg tablet blister pack or alternatively as 1000mg (1g) powder sachets. Gram for gram, there is no difference in effectiveness between the powder or tablets. The difference of packaging lies solely in the convenience of tablets for people following lower dose regimes and sachets for people taking larger quantities. The powder is very palatable and can be dissolved in a small amount of water. Tablets should be taken with meals, whereas sachets should ideally be taken 20 minutes after a meal.
Advisory: If taking medication, or if you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before using this product. Do not use this product if you are pregnant, nursing or below the age of 18. If you experience any adverse reaction or other unexpected symptoms, immediately discontinue product use and seek advice from your doctor or another suitably qualified health professional.Further Information:

Architonic Newsletter 03.2013
Dear Readers,
Recent legislation and advances in technology have led to a new generation of LED lighting. Considered just a few years ago as being still in its infancy, LED – due in no small part to new design possibilities – has found its way into the roster of lighting typologies. So what better time to look more closely at the subject? And all the more, given that the Euroluce show at this year's Salone del Mobile, where visitors are presented with the latest products from the lighting sector, is just around the corner. Speaking of which, you can download our trusty Architonic guide to Milan here.
And here's a brief overview of the contents of our March Newsletter:

Easily LED: the charms (and challenges) of a developing technology
Many hands make light work, goes the old saying. Many new LED producers also make the creative possibilities of working with such a fast-changing technology exciting, thanks to the proliferation of products they bring to the market. But, for lighting design manufacturers, an expansion of supplier choice brings with it a number of challenges. Architonic sheds some light.
Pioneers in LED lighting design, the Munich-based studio Ingo Maurer, headed up by the eponymous product designer, is constantly seeking new technological possibilities and formal typologies. Here, Axel Schmid's 'Jetzt' lamp
Nostalgia was better in the old days. So goes the old bon mot (which was probably funnier in the old days, too).
As the rate of technological change accelerates – or we, at least, perceive this to be the case – so the desire for the familiar forms of old would appear to grow. Take lighting, for example. Winner of the 2011 Design of the Year Award, Sam Wilkinson's energy-efficient 'Plumen 001' CFL lightbulb for Hulger turns the prosaic into the poetic, introducing a rounder, more visually interesting form to a technology that tends to plough a more linear, utilitarian furrow in terms of shape. In doing so, it refers back to the now phased-out incandescent lightbulb, in all its comely fullness.
Ingo Maurer has also been commissioned to shape public spaces through their innovative lighting design projects. Here, LEDs are put to work at Münchner Freiheit metro station in Munich; photo Tom Vack
But from time to time a technology comes along that's a real game-changer. The development of LED lighting has been so fast and has opened up so many creative and practical possibilities, the past isn't getting much of a look in. LED is casting a spotlight on the future and it's bright.

The Gold Standard: iF International Forum Design celebrates 60 years
Three score old and in rude health: the iF design gold awards, handed out to a painstakingly selected, international cohort of companies at the recent Munich Creative Business Week for their outstanding products, is looking to the future.
Remember the days when 60 used to be a ripe old age, where everything started to head south. Well, those days are gone. Lean, lithe and limber, iF, one of longest-established design awards schemes internationally, is showing little sign of slowing down. Indeed, with operations – beyond its HQ in Germany's expo city of Hanover – in Taipei, Seoul, Istanbul, Curitiba and Zittau, this annual gong-laden showcase of the best in product design, packaging and communication design has long exceeded its original, post-war 'Industrie Forum Design' remit to become a truly 'International Forum' for design excellence.
'DISCUS Evolution' LED lighting system by EOOS Design for Zumtobel embraces minimal form for maximum effect, picking up a iF gold award in the lighting category
'I've travelled, on average, about six times a year to Asia in order to spread iF's message,' says Ralph Wiegmann, who has headed up the organisation since 1996. For the tireless, globe-trotting iF chief, increasing the brand's profile beyond European shores, turning it into a highly covetable, aspirational mark of difference, has been central to ensuring the continued success of the scheme, which is no longer just about a one-night-only prize-giving shindig. 'For many companies today,' explains Wiegmann, 'iF provides an opportunity to differentiate themselves. But what differentiates companies and brands? Are design-oriented businesses better in terms of quality or ecology? Can design put a company's success on a stable footing?' These questions and others iF engages with not only through its awards programme, but also in its exhibitions, both home and abroad, its books and its website projects. Many irons. Many fires.
Master of the fold, Issey Miyake, extends Artemide's lighting collection with his 'IN-EI' family of lighting products, a worthy winner of an iF gold award
The high point of the iF annual calendar is still, however, the iF design awards night, which, this year, pitched its tent at the brand temple that is Coop Himmelb(l)au's BMW World in Munich, spitting distance from another architectural landmark, the elegantly canopied 1972 Olympic Stadium. The move from Hanover to Bavaria for the handing out of the iF plaudits during Munich Creative Business Week is a significant one in terms of brand positioning, speaking emphatically of the business relevance of design.
Architonic Photo Tour ISH 2013 Frankfurt
The high-end segment of the construction sector seems to be standing its ground, in spite – or perhaps because – of the wobble that Europe is experiencing. There's still a growing international market for high-quality spaces and buildings, in terms of design and fit-out, which is good news for designers and producers. Internationalisation was at the heart of developments at this year's ISH in Frankfurt, too. More and more brands are crowding into the world's leading fair for sanitary products and building technology. The fact that it's located in a well-positioned country like Germany is undoubtedly a driving factor.
Another clear trend over the last ten years can be seen in the number of exhibitors from the high-end segment who display a growing awareness for the value of contract business – more and more companies are proving through architect- and planner-oriented solutions that they have recognised the potential in a constructive collaboration with designers and decision-makers.
Hall 9.2 at this year's ISH was, for us, particularly inspiring and surprising; here, exponents from the wood-burning-stove branch demonstrated that they certainly haven't missed the current sustainability trend – and the attendant fascination with self-sufficiency. The wood-burning stove, thanks to its clever combination with electrical components, is finding its way back into the kitchen of tomorrow. The marrying of age-old cast-iron tradition with high-tech is also providing refreshing design results.
Naturally, we've, once again, brought together our highlights from this year's ISH in the form of an extensive photo tour.

Maliki: My "national and moral responsibility" to stay in power
Maliki at one point pledged to not run for a third term (File Archive/AFP)
Iraq's Prime Minister reiterated his staunch determination to remain in power for a third term Friday despite growing pressures to resign, according to Agence France Presse.
PM Nouri Al Maliki released a statement Friday that read, "I will never give up on my candidacy for the post of prime minister. The State of Law coalition is the biggest bloc and has the right to the premiership and any other side has no right to put conditions, because putting conditions means dictatorship and we strongly reject this."
While Maliki did indeed win Iraq's parliamentary elections in April by a long shot with his State of Law coalition party winning the most seats when compared to other blocs, the PM has been increasingly criticized by opposition-as well as his Shiite Arab allies-for instigating a sectarian war in the country.
Over the past month, Sunni Islamist militants, led in part by the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), have seized territory from at least five of Iraq's provinces and now also control the Syrian-Iraqi border crossings.
Maliki's opponents say that the PM is to blame for this recent offensive for marginalizing the Sunni Arab minority during his time in office.
Maliki, who once pledged to not run for a third term, now emphasizes that he will stay in his position of power out of "national and moral responsibility" until the crisis is solved.
"The withdrawal from the battlefield in the face of terrorist organizations that are enemies of Islam and of humanity, would be an abrogation of legitimate national and moral responsibility. I have made a promise to God that I will continue to fight by the side of the armed forces and volunteers until the final defeat of the enemies of Iraq," he said.


text: Hey all, first time posting, but this forum is a huge help! I just started playing around with PdaNet last week and now I'm using my Eris as my iPod replacement since that died on me. I use Doubletwist to sync up my playlists and now since I've been using PdaNet, Doubletwist won't recognize my phone. Is there a way around this? I know there was a warning during the setup, but I was hoping this wouldn't apply. I can live without HTC sync, but I'm not sure if that is required for syncing in Doubletwist. Also, have any Verizon users been hit with a big bill for tethering? I'm just wondering if I should drop my Comcast internet and just use the tethering. $60+ per month for cable is just asinine. Thanks in advance!

SPOKANE, Wash. – Hundreds of fans greeted Gonzaga's most successful basketball team in history at a Homecoming Rally on the Foley Center lawn April 5, crowning a magical season that included Gonzaga's first trip to the Final Four, its first national championship game appearance, and a school record 37 wins against just two losses.
With the still-fresh sting of their 71-65 loss to North Carolina in NCAA Tournament championship game two days prior, the Zags – led by Associated Press Coach of the Year Mark Few – were greeted by Gonzaga President Thayne McCulloh who spoke of gratitude for the team and its historic season.
"How grateful we as a university are because none of this would be possible, none of this amazing story would be possible without a couple of really significant ingredients," President McCulloh said. "One of those most significant is the tremendous amount of support that Gonzaga University, Gonzaga basketball, and Gonzaga athletics enjoys with this amazing community that we call Spokane, Washington."
President McCulloh continued:
"We are a nation that among many things appreciates and respects what it means to win, what it means to achieve but especially what it means to do that with character," he said. "From start to finish, this team – these guys – have been emblematic of those kinds of qualities and characteristics that make us as a university – but more broadly as a community – so very proud."
Few, who among other honors also was named the Naismith Coach of the Year, also greeted the crowd of well-wishers along with a few of the players. Few, who guided the Zags to their fifth consecutive West Coast Conference regular-season and WCC Tournament championships, also was named the WCC Coach of the Year for the 11th time.
"We can't thank you guys enough. All along the way from Salt Lake to San Jose and even down in Phoenix, I speak for all my guys, my staff, everybody: The support we had down there, the Zags' fans that were on the streets and then filled up the 80,000-seat dome – which was absolutely amazing to walk out to – was totally incredible," Few said. "I can't tell you how good it made these guys feel and how proud they were to call Spokane home."
The crowd roared as players Rem Bakamus, Przemek Karnowski, and Nigel Williams-Goss took to the podium one-by-one to thank the fans.
"I want to start out by thanking each and every one of you guys for accepting me into this family," said Williams-Goss. "It's no secret this program has been special for the last 20 years. What I didn't know was that I was joining a family, a family that I will cherish for life."
Williams-Goss, who recently announced his intention to enter the NBA Draft, said it was the best season of his life.
"Although we came up a little bit short, we can feel in our hearts that we were able to make history," he said.
Stars in Classroom, Too
This team's academic prowess also was significant. Williams-Goss was named First Team Academic All-American and the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association Men's Scholar Athlete of the Year while Karnowski was named to the I-AAA Men's Scholar Athlete Team. Karnowski, Perkins and Williams-Goss also were named to the WCC All-Academic Team. Williams-Goss also was named to the GU Dean's List (3.50-3.84 GPA) for fall semester (2016) along with teammates Jacob Larsen, Rem Bakamus, Josh Perkins and Dustin Triano.

Taylor to wear protective mask
Newcastle defender Steven Taylor has been passed fit to take to the pitch against Stoke City but will wear a protective mask.
By Subhankar Mondal
Last Updated: 28/10/11 1:32pm
Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor has been passed fit to take to the pitch against Stoke City on Monday but will wear a protective mask.
Taylor broke his nose during their 1-0 Premier League victory over Wigan Athletic at St James' Park last weekend and missed the Magpies' 4-3 extra-time defeat by Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round of the Carling Cup on Wednesday.
However, the 25-year-old is now ready to play for Alan Pardew's side following an operation and will travel with the rest of the squad to the Britannia Stadium for their league encounter against Stoke.
"Steven's had a small operation on his nose to set it again," said assistant manager John Carver.
"He's getting his mask sorted out, and had the specialist come over here from America to make sure everything was okay with it.
"If anything, the advantage of our game being on the Monday is that it's given us extra-time to recover. You look at Blackburn, and they go straight back in against Norwich for a tough game."
Newcastle are unbeaten in the league after nine matches and are fourth in the table on 19 points, level with third-placed Chelsea and six behind leaders Manchester City.

I am sharing my thoughts, observations and insight about Data Center transformation. The Data Center remained largely unchanged architecturally for years. Over the last few years, dramatic new technologies have come online, not just bigger or faster versions of old technologies, but radically new approaches to computing. Today's data centers are not just being filled with bigger storage elements, servers or switches, they are being filled with SMARTER devices. The BYOD revolution is changing the lines between LAN and WAN, and abstraction continues to drive end-user value higher in the food chain, not simply the boxes themselves. Really innovation is occuring, hybrid computing that includes in-house, co-lo, modular and Cloud. These are fast times for the data center…

Blecher Early Origins
Somerset where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1305 when Robert le Blacchere held estates in that shire.
Blecher Spelling Variations
Blecher Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Blecher include Blatcher, Bletcher, Bleacher, Bleaker, Blacher and many more.

Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Blecher or a variant listed above:

Discontinued App
Some scholars are disputing the validity of Marco Polo's writings, a few even speculating that he never made it to China. In part 4 of the documentary Bradley Mayhew explores in detail Marco Polo's route through China. He visits the remote ruins of Kublai Khan's summer palace at Xanadu, researches Beijing and travels by boat down the Grand Canal of China to the metropolis of Hangzhou, described by Marco Polo as "the finest city in the world". Did the Venetian make it to China? Follow Bradley Mayhew and find out for yourself. "Marco Polo Reloaded" is a four-part documentary series retracing the route of Marco Polo. We accompany Bradley Mayhew as he discovers the countries, the people and their culture along this legendary route. This app contains a 52 minutes long episode of the documentary film 'Marco Polo Reloaded', along with short clips and many impressive photos and travel quotations. "The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang are perhaps the artistic highlight of the entire Silk Road. I've been to the caves a half-dozen times now and they are always mind-blowing, especially when you can spot the blending of styles from Afghanistan, Central Asia, Tibet and China. It's a fusion in the very best tradition of the Silk Road. Lanzhou was the first big Chinese city of the trip and a reminder of just how increasingly modern and consumer-orientated China is becoming. Sipping green tea overlooking the Yellow River while listening to Chinese classical music was a delightful and quintessentially Chinese experience after the hardship of the desert. After years of studying the language and travelling in China I feel quite at home there now and Marco did too, eventually, spending a total of 17 years in the country. One of my favourite experiences in China was fishing with the cormorants. The old fisherman clearly loved his job and his birds and sang continuously to his little friends. He seemed to me like the commander of a crack squad of miniature marines. I didn't realize at the time that each cormorant had his own specific position on the boat according to rank and seniority and so I kept placing the birds back in the wrong location, which upset them immensely. My hands ended up with dozens of little cuts from disgruntled cormorants trying to reassert their power. There's a lot of swearing in English and childish threatening of birds that didn't make it into the final film! But when you see the sights described by Marco, when you feel the thin air he described on the Pamir Plateau or read the level of detail in descriptions of Hangzhou or Tibetan monasteries, it's hard not to see the striking similarities. All guidebook writers at some point don't have time to walk every hiking trail or visit a village blocked by snow or landslides; you collect sources and tidbits of information from books and guides to give an overview of a place. Once you understand the nature of his book - that it's a trade manual, a description of the world, seen and unseen, and of marvels, stories and legends that were current at the time - then the veracity of every story doesn't seem so important. Did Marco Polo travel to China? I think he did. Just maybe not quite the way he tells it. And that's travel literature for you." – Bradley Mayhew Features * Full-length documentary with Bradley Mayhew(52 minutes!) * Photographs * Behind the scene gallery * Works in landscape mode * Exclusive edition * Designed to fit mobile devices * Bookmark the last view * Share with your friends * Rupa Media news feed (apps, design, photography …)

Healer - I can tell, with your poems and your song lyrics. it's fun on my end, too!! Thank you!
You have no idea how much fun I have with your pictures! Love them.
Now that is quite a poem, Healer. I had no idea you had such talent. The poem is actually quite lovely! :D))
So many leaves, they cover the ground.
He'd store more nuts, but they can't be found.
Winter is close, the cold wind does blow.
He needs to hurry, no time to be slow.
When Winter arrives, in her snowy white vest,
He'll be safe and warm, with nuts in his nest.
Faye - that is so hard to believe about squirrels! How astonishing!
I love your caption!
Funny, "Like!" And dancing, poems and singing seem to be your strength! LOL
"Lost" really doesn't happen. David Suzuki did one hour last night (Nature of Things...I think) on CBC on squirrels. The scientists put microchips in acorns, recorded where the squirrel buried them, and then watched the squirrel dig up the nuts based on triangulation of trees, rocks, etc. Not only did this involve remembering hundreds of triangulations, they wouldn't touch the acorns that other squirrels had buried. Heck, I can't even do triangulation! LOL
So, Clint here is saying, "This park isn't big enough for both of us, Dude. Be out of town by sunset!"
"I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can't you just let it be?"
(The dancing gopher came to mind... And this song will definitely be rattling around in my head all day :-))
Apologies to Kenny Loggins
LOL, Jon. Lost in the leaves! That's how my walks with Maggie have been lately!
I am Hans, he is errr........What happened to Franz?....
Can anyone help me get out, I am lost.
Oh, nuts! I've lost them again. I know I left them here somewhere.

It's official Vanessa Hudgens has kissed her Disney days bye bye... Forever. No really, there's no going back now. After forcing James Franco to perform fellatio on a gun in her new flick Spring Breakers, Vanessa is whole-heartedly continuing her mission to destroy her family-friendly image with her new song $$$ex.
Hell, you'd be forgiven for forgetting she was ever in High School Musical at all.
Ness shared a sneak peek of the new music vid on Tumblr, writing, "We literally danced around all night in the Rock Mafia Studios while recording it.
"We're continuing the party and made a 30 seconds '$$$ex' video. We just wanted to dance and get crazy! You don't have to go to Spring Break, you can bring Spring Break to youuu! We had ours in the kitchen. LOL! Sooo much fun."
See, we told you there was no going back. All the former child stars are at it these days, just take a look at Emma Watson donning THAT Pretty Woman dress on the cover of GQ mag. What's going on?

We may have given the impression in the article below that metropolitan borough elections last took place in England and Wales in 2002. We said that Labour "will seek to hold on to its 33% of the vote when most of these seats were last fought in 2002". To clarify, all of the seats in London boroughs plus a third of the seats in metropolitan boroughs were fought that year. In 2004 a further third of the metropolitan seats were contested.
Thousands of candidates and 176 English councils are involved in this year's local elections, but all the attention is going to the few dozen British National party figures who have a chance of getting elected. This is disheartening for everyone who cares about local government, not just because it drives debate away from issues such as council tax, which has hardly been raised in the campaign, but because it inflates the BNP's significance. True, the party is fielding more candidates than ever, but only slightly more and in some early strongholds, such as Burnley, it is now unable to put up a full slate. Among small parties, the Greens, who get no coverage, will outstrip the BNP's tally of councillors on May 4. Among large ones, Labour could lose overall control of big urban councils such as Manchester, but will seek to hold on to its 33% share of the vote when most of these seats were last fought in 2002. The elections are a test too for the Lib Dems and Tories, both under new leaders.
None of these parties, however, sends a shiver down the spine like the BNP. In a generally tolerant country there will always be an opening for those who exploit intolerance and support for far-right candidates has grown at every general election since 1987. The question is whether this is anything other than a localised growth. Yesterday the home office minister Andy Burnham used a BBC interview to limit alarm. "I am worried that if we give them too much coverage, it can back up the notion that they are a potent protest vote," he said. But the employment minister Margaret Hodge - whose Barking constituency saw the BNP vie neck and neck with the Conservatives in 2005 - did just that at the weekend. "When I knock on doors I say to people, 'are you tempted to vote BNP?' and many, many, many ... say 'yes'," she told the Sunday Telegraph. "Even when people voted BNP, they used to be ashamed to vote BNP. Now they are not."
That was the message too of a report commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust from the School of Public Policy, University College London, and Democratic Audit, University of Essex, which suggested around a quarter of London's voters would consider voting BNP. Nick Griffin, the party's leader, articulates a case that goes beyond race. He presents it as the voice of the forgotten, the decent working man trying to make a go of life. But this is a lure, designed to draw the support of white voters with grievances. At its core, the BNP relies on the narrow and false promise that its supporters are suffering because of Britain's multiracial society. The result is not a better life for BNP voters, but intolerance and aggression that sours everyone. Make no mistake: though the party has cloaked itself in cleaner clothes, repressing the racism and flaunting patriotic social activism, its remains true to its National Front roots.
Yet mainstream parties cannot dismiss all potential BNP voters as racists. As Ms Hodge's constituency neighbour, the Dagenham MP Jon Cruddas, argues, poor white voters in safe Labour seats have not felt themselves the focus of a political system concentrated on swing voters in middle England. Localised economic decline and social change, including immigration - both factors in outer east London - lead people who feel rejected to listen to the BNP's message. Other parties, some feel, do not respond to their fears. The consequences for society if this does not change will be dismaying. All parties need to respond with constructive political activity that recognises why some voters have become disenchanted and offer effective answers rather than the BNP's crass and shallow resentment. Beating the BNP like this takes commitment and energy on the part of political foot soldiers who may themselves have concerns about the nature of the party they are campaigning for. But offered an active choice, few voters will endorse the BNP's spittle-flecked sloganising over positive politics that offers more than empty hatred.

World Cafe Live - Wilmington Upstairs
500 N. Market St.
Wilmington, DE, 19801
This event is all ages
Tommy Malone
Tommy Malone has had a musical love affair with fans for over 30 years. As the heart and center frontman of the legendary Americana act The Subdudes, he has carved his way as a gifted singer, player and songwriter with a distinctive musical voice.
Tommy's self-assured exterior masks a writer who mines heartache and elation, the surreal and the everyday, and who crafts the experiences into instantly memorable tunes. He is an artist who exudes a laid-back, down-to-earth, instantly familiar style that epitomizes Americana Rock Music. In Tommy's solo band, as lead guitarist and singer, he punctuates soulful, heart-felt vocals with playing that is at turns joyful, incendiary and melancholic.
A musician's musician, he has recorded with Rosanne Cash, Shawn Colvin and Anders Osborne, and has impacted markets with hit other projects including Tiny Town and the Continental Drifters. His songs have been recorded by Joe Cocker, The Radiators, Tab Benoit and many others, but it's his ability to perform his own stories and turn them into vivid musical images that sets him apart from other performers. Tommy's last solo release, 2001's 'Soul Heavy' is an eclectic, bayou-infused song collection described as a 'fine example of how musical influences can combine to form a distinctive whole.'
2013 finds Tommy Malone signing with New York's MC Records, with his debut album slated for release this May.

The College of Law (CoL) has announced plans to offer the New York Bar Exam to UK students, allowing them to qualify as American lawyers without having to complete a training contract.
Full-time GDL students who go on to complete CoL's Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) will be eligible to sit for the New York Bar Exam following an additional 22-week study programme.
Previously UK non-law graduates would first need to qualify as a lawyer in the UK and then complete an LLM degree in the US before being able to sit the New York Bar Exam.
Under the US system lawyers are qualified to practise once they have passed the bar exam.
CoL chief executive Nigel Savage said: "With the increased competition for training contracts and pupillages, students will have the option to take the New York Bar Exam and be a qualified American lawyer. Theoretically, they could go on to work as an American lawyer at a US firm in London."
The new course will be available to those students who start their GDL with CoL in September 2010 and can be completed in one block or spread over a longer period of time.
Though the programme is principally targeted at domestic students, CoL is hoping to attract graduates from overseas universities, particularly from the US and South East Asia.
Savage said: "This is really putting London at the centre of global education. Attracting the best talent to the UK will be great for London and help sustain it as a legal services and legal education hub."
Those who successfully complete the extended course will be awarded a US-style CoL Juris Doctor (JD) professional degree in law.
In a related move CoL has also announced a partnership with Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago. Northwestern is assisting CoL in designing and ultimately delivering the additional electives that are required to enable students to sit the New York Bar Exam.
Separately, CoL has entered into a similar relationship with IE Law School in Madrid.

The Prisoners of Breendonk:
Personal Histories from a WW2 Concentration Camp
Fort Breendonk was built in the early 1900s to protect Antwerp, Belgium, from possible German invasion. Damaged at the start of World War I, it fell into disrepair . . . until the Nazis took it over after their invasion of Belgium in 1940.
Like most non-Belgians, I had never heard of Breendonk until September 2010, when I visited it while on vacation in Belgium. Never designated an official concentration camp by the SS, it was labeled an Auffanglager, a type of camp where prisoners—Jews, communists, resistance fighters, and common criminals—were held until they were either released or transported to other concentration camps. No matter what term the Nazis used, most people familiar with Breendonk during and after the war referred to it as a concentration camp. It was just as brutal and deadly, according to many of its prisoners. One man who survived Breendonk wrote that although the camp "had no gas chambers, no incinerators . . . Breendonk was no less notorious, no less a black hell of the most barbarous terror." Another claimed that he "would prefer to spend nineteen months at Buchenwald than nineteen days at Breendonk." A historian describing the concentration camp of Auschwitz I before the nearby extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was built wrote that the camp "was widely known as a site of imprisonment, extreme brutality, starvation, illness, and high mortality rates, including killings by various forms of torture, shooting, and hanging." The same description could be applied to Breendonk, only on a smaller scale.
During my visit that day, I realized that I not only wanted to know more about the camp, I wanted to write a book about it. I was haunted by the stories and the photographs of the prisoners that hung on exhibit in the dark and dank rooms of the camp. One image in particular stayed with me: a photograph of a man named Israel Neumann. It was his heartbreaking story that propelled me to learn more about Breendonk and its prisoners.
And so I began an 18-month quest to convince my publisher that this was a story worth telling. Fortunately, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt agreed. By then, I had already received the full cooperation of the memorial. For the next two years, I made at least a dozen visits to Belgium as I worked in its archives, wandered through its echoing deserted hallways on rainy afternoons, studied the stucco wall in the courtyard, stepped into the torture chamber, and stood in silence on the execution grounds. I also met with relatives of some men who had been imprisoned there.
As I wrote the book, I tried to let the prisoners speak for themselves. The stories woven through this book are taken from autobiographies, interviews, archival documents, and courtroom testimonies. I did not invent any dialogue; every word that appears in the conversations was quoted from one of these sources. The only imagination I used was when I described what a prisoner might have experienced, and these suppositions were based on the writings of other prisoners. I have included photographs, often undated, of many prisoners as well, so that the reader can see their faces. But photographs were not available for everyone, especially those who died and had no surviving family. This was true of many Jewish prisoners whose families were deported to their deaths.
I was also able to include many rare vintage photographs and artwork, especially drawings by Jacques Ochs, one of the prisoners who survived and published an illustrated memoir after the war. And Leon Nolis's haunting photography of the camp today is a major contribution to the book..
If you are like me, you will never forget the story of Breendonk.

Unanswered: Multiple unique ways of executing a simple query?
I have to come up with 5 different ways (unique execution plans) to process the following query.
Find the items that are delivered by all suppliers.
My database holds the following tables:
QSPL it holds a list of supplier names
SPLNO (number)
SPLNAME (varchar)
QDEL it holds delivery items, suppliers, and departments
DELNO (number)
DELQTY (number)
ITEMNAME (varchar)
DEPTNAME (varchar)
SPLNO (number)
QITEM it holds list of items
ITEMNAME (varchar)
ITEMTYPE (varchar)
ITEMCOLOR (varchar)
I was able to successfully come up with the following four unique queries.
select itemname --, etc.
from qitem
where itemname not in
(select itemname
from qitem, qspl
where (char(splno)+itemname) not in
(select char(splno)+itemname
from qdel));
select itemname --,etc.
from qitem
where not exists
(select *
from qspl
where not exists
(select *
from qdel
where qdel.itemname = qitem.itemname
and Qdel.splno = qspl.splno));
select a.itemname --, etc
from qitem a join qdel b on a.itemname = b.itemname
group by a.itemname
having count (distinct splno) = (select count(*) from qspl);
select itemname
from qdel
group by itemname
having count (distinct splno) = (select count(*) from qspl);
I have no idea what to do for a 5th unique query.
Does anyone have a clue?
I tried to put this question in the best possible context with significant detail, feedback is greatly appreciated.

Insalata di cicorino
Dandelions are wonderful served raw on their own or as an adjunct to a salad. If you find the leaves too bitter for your taste, put the washed leaves in a large bowl covered with cold water for at least 1 hour or even overnight. This removes some of the bitterness.
- dandelion greens, picked over and washed very well, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
- sweet onion, sliced
- bacon or pancetta, coarsely chopped
- sugar
- prepared Dijon style mustard
- red wine vinegar
Place the dandelion greens and onions into a large salad bowl. Cook the bacon/pancetta in a large sauté pan until crisp. Remove the crisp bits with a slotted spoon and add them to the greens. Add a good pinch of sugar and some of the vinegar to the bacon fat remaining in the sauté pan. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add OO, wine vinegar, S & P and mustard to taste. Whisk all ingredients together and pour over the greens; serve immediately.
P.S. Add quartered hard boiled eggs to this salad to make a perfect lunch.

July 28, 2008 -- Diabetes is on the rise in the U.S, and three new studies shed more light on how diet affects your odds of developing type 2 diabetes.
Each study covers a different aspect of diet. Together, the studies show that diabetes risk may rise if you drink too many sodas and sweetened fruit drinks, fall if you eat more fruits and vegetables, and may not be affected by how much fat you eat.
But there's another key theme that runs through the studies: There's no getting around calories. Blow your calorie budget and you'll gain weight, which makes type 2 diabetes more likely.
"Until we have more information, we have to assume that calories trump everything else, and that our No. 1 goal for the reduction of new cases of type 2 diabetes should be to reduce the intake of high-energy, low-benefit foods," especially in young people at high risk of diabetes, write Mark Feinglos, MD, CM, and Susan Totten, RD, from Duke University Medical Center.
Here's a quick look at each of the studies, published with Feinglos and Totten's commentary in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Increased Risk With Sugary Drinks?
Sugary sodas and fruit drinks may be linked to increased risk of type 2 diabetes in African- American women, the first study shows.
The study included nearly 44,000 African-American women who were followed from 1995 to 2005. They completed dietary surveys when the study began and again in 2001.
None of the women had diabetes at the study's start; a decade later, the group had reported 2,713 new cases of type 2 diabetes.
Women who drank at least two regular soft drinks per day were 24% more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes than women who drank less than one soft drink per month. Weight gain appeared to account for some of the increased risk in soda drinkers.
Women who drank at least two sweetened fruit drinks per day were 31% more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes than women who drank less than one sweetened fruit drink per day, the study also states.
The researchers, who included Julie Palmer, ScD, of Boston University, note that sweetened fruit drinks "are often marketed as a healthier alternative to soft drinks" but may have at least as many calories as a regular soda.
Diet sodas, orange juice, and grapefruit juice weren't linked to increased risk of diabetes. It's possible that the natural sugars contained in orange and grapefruit juice may have different metabolic effects than the high-fructose corn syrup that is added to regular sodas and most sweetened beverages.
Beverage Industry Reaction
WebMD contacted the American Beverage Association, the trade group representing companies that make and distribute nonalcoholic beverages in the U.S, for its response to the study.
"We agree that type 2 diabetes is an important public health problem, particularly among African- American women, but it is important to recognize that beverage consumption is not an identified risk factor for the disease," says Maureen Storey, PhD, the American Beverage Association's senior vice president for science policy.
Storey points out that the study recommends that women trying to lose weight may find it easier to do so if they switch from regular sodas to diet sodas. She also notes that the study's link between fruit-drink consumption and type 2 diabetes "is very weak or nonexistent. Therefore, avoiding these drinks may have no effect on diabetes risk."
Lastly, Storey says it's not clear whether the researchers controlled for total energy intake -- the total number of calories the women consumed from all sources. An imbalance between energy intake (calories consumed) and energy output (calories burned) can lead to weight gain over time, "and that, aside from family history, is the most important factor in development of type 2 diabetes," says Storey.
Fruits and Vegetables May Cut Diabetes Risk
Eating more fruits and vegetables may cut diabetes risk, according to another study in the journal.
The study included nearly 22,000 adults in Norfolk, England. When the study started, they got a checkup, provided blood samples, and completed a diet and lifestyle survey.
Over the next 12 years, 735 of the participants developed diabetes.
After controlling for multiple other lifestyle factors, including vitamin supplement intake, the diagnosis of diabetes was 62% less likely in people with the highest blood levels of vitamin C and 22% less likely in those with the highest intake of fruits and vegetables. Participants with the highest vitamin C levels ate five to six servings of fruits and vegetables per day.
"Because fruit and vegetables are the main sources of vitamin C, the findings suggest that eating even a small quantity of fruit and vegetables may be beneficial and that the protection against diabetes increases progressively with the quantity of fruits and vegetables consumed," write the researchers, who included Anne-Helen Harding, PhD, of Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, England.
Low-Fat Diet: No Impact?
The third study set out to see whether a low-fat diet would lower diabetes risk in healthy postmenopausal women. But that turned out to be a tall order.
The study included nearly 46,000 postmenopausal U.S. women. The researchers, who included Lesley Tinker, PhD, of Seattle's Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, split the women into two groups.
One group was assigned to cut their dietary fat to 20% of their daily calories, down from about 38% at the study's start. Women in that group also got intensive nutritional and behavioral counseling and regular group meetings to help them meet the low-fat goal.
For comparison, women in the other group weren't told to cut back on their dietary fat. They got a pamphlet with the federal government's dietary guidelines, but no counseling or group meetings.
None of the women in either group was asked to lose weight or get more exercise.
The study lasted for about eight years, and during that time, women in both groups were equally likely to report being diagnosed with diabetes. So Tinker's team concludes that cutting back on fat without exercising or losing weight may not be enough to curb diabetes risk.
But there is a catch: The women in the low-fat group cut back on fat, but not as much as they were supposed to.
Diet surveys showed that a year after the study began, the women in the low-fat group got about 24% of their daily calories from fat (mostly from saturated fat), and that this percentage edged up to almost 29% (still mostly saturated fat) by the study's sixth year -- well over the 20% goal. Trends in body weight were similar, with the low-fat women initially showing an average 5.3-pound weight loss, but regaining most of that weight by the end of the study.

Team Sky star Richie Porte to ride in our Gran Fondo
One of the biggest stars in cycling, Richie Porte, will participate in next month's Gran Fondo Giro d'Italia Northern Ireland.
The Gran Fondo Giro d'Italia Northern Ireland on June 21 is a legacy event from the hugely successful 2014 Giro d'Italia which began in Belfast before travelling around the country for its first three days of competition.
At the time Northern Ireland turned pink, the colour associated with the race, with thousands of spectators lining the route to support the riders. The Gran Fondo, which invites cyclists of all ages and levels to participate, will no doubt bring back some of the feelgood factor that landed here with the Giro.
There are two routes, starting and finishing at the Titanic Belfast building; the Mourne Route, a 177km ride, which will challenge the fittest riders, and the Strangford Route, a 58km loop, achievable for novice cyclists.
And you never know... Team Sky rider Porte may have the famous Maglia Rosa (winner's pink jersey) with him if he finishes first in this year's Giro d'Italia, which starts next Saturday.
Porte, from Australia, is ranked the number two rider in the world and has won this year's Paris-Nice, Tour of Catalunya and Giro del Trentino races. He is one of the favourites, along with the renowned Alberto Contador, for the Giro.
Five years ago Porte announced himself as a force to be reckoned with when he wore the Giro's Maglia Rosa in his first Grand Tour, finished seventh overall and won the Best Young Rider's jersey by a margin of over seven minutes.
The 30-year-old moved to Team Sky in 2013 and has developed into one of the most respected riders in world cycling. He is the current Australian time trial champion and in the Giro d'Italia will be the leader of Team Sky.
On coming to Northern Ireland, Porte said: "I am really delighted to be heading to Northern Ireland in June to take part in the inaugural Gran Fondo Giro d'Italia. Seeing the spectacular success of the Giro d'Italia Big Start there last year left me wanting to come and visit and ride my bike and experience the scenery and this event gives me the perfect opportunity to do that.
"One of the best memories I have in professional cycling was wearing the Pink Jersey in the 2010 Giro. It is a special race and the Gran Fondo Giro d'Italia Northern Ireland is a great legacy event. See you all on June 21!"
Darach McQuaid of Shadetree Sports, organisers of the Gran Fondo, said: "To have a rider of Richie's calibre riding our event is something very special indeed. We cannot wait to see Richie share the road in our Gran Fondo in June with all of our riders.
"We would like to see Northern Ireland adopt Richie this May and support his bid to win the Giro d'Italia and bring the winner's Maglia Rosa to Belfast in June. The hashtag will be #AdoptRichieNI and we will be creating competitions all throughout the Giro, offering our riders and fans opportunities to win cool Giro related prizes while supporting Richie."
Susie McCullough, Tourism NI Director of Events, said: "The legacy of last year's Giro d'Italia Grande Partenza is still very much alive across Northern Ireland, and has been given another great boost with the news that one of the top riders in the world will join us for the Gran Fondo."

Risk of PTSD after ICU
PTSD can occur in patients after the traumatising events of critical illness, and this study provides estimates on new cases of PTSD stemming specifically from the ICU experience. Pre-existing PTSD (ie, PTSD before hospitalisation) has rarely been systematically assessed in prior cohorts, and this study took extra effort to distinguish pre-existing PTSD from new PTSD cases.
Mayur Patel, MD, MPH, FACS, assistant professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and surgical intensivist at the Nashville VA Medical Center, and colleagues analysed data from ICU survivors enrolled in studies from three Veterans Affairs hospitals (MIND-ICU Study, NCT00400062) and one civilian hospital (BRAIN-ICU Study, NCT00392795). Using the PTSD Checklist for the DSM-IV to determine PTSD for this study, a total of 181 patients were assessed at three months and 160 were further assessed at 12 months.
Results showed that the cumulative incidence of PTSD was 6 to 12 percent within one year following hospitalisation. "Although lower than prior research and public perception suggests, the rate of ICU-related PTSD is very comparable to the 8 percent PTSD rates seen in current and former service members deployed to the recent Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts," Dr. Patel points out. "It is important to understand more about PTSD following the traumatising events of a critical illness so we can better support the growing number of ICU survivors."
Assessing risk factors for ICU-related PTSD, Dr. Patel's team found that pre-existing PTSD as well as prior depression were strong risk factors associated with ICU-related PTSD at three and 12 months after hospitalisation. Being a veteran did not increase risk of ICU-related PTSD, nor did duration of delirium, amount of pain medication, or amount of sedative.
"Currently, the international psychological aftercare for ICU survivors is not organised proactively; rather, it is largely reactive in response to disabling reports from survivors, caregivers, and primary care providers," the authors write. "The Institute of Medicine in the United States has recommended a systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of data assessing the quality of post-conflict PTSD care in the military and veteran populations. We suggest that the same should apply to the large civilian and veteran populations of critically ill survivors."
