Burgess agrees to cross-code move

England rugby league star Sam Burgess has agreed to a cross-code switch which could pave the way for him to play for Stuart Lancaster's national team at next year's World Cup.
Burgess is making the move with one eye on the showpiece union event and is keen to move from Sydney-based league side the Rabbitohs back to England, but any deal is reliant on financial terms being agreed, ESPN sources have confirmed.
A fee of £500,000 has been mooted as Burgess is tied to the Rabbitohs until 2016 and reports in the Australian press claim he will join Bath on a three-year deal. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is likely to foot some of the bill as they are keen to fast-track him into union.
Reports surfaced last weekend saying Burgess was approached by England coach Andy Farrell during the Rugby League World Cup about a potential cross-code switch though the RFU has since denied any approach.
Stuart Lancaster said: "I can't comment on it, other than the fact that I haven't, or no one from the RFU, has approached the Rabbitohs. We'll have to wait and see, it's not for me to decide. He's under contract at the Rabbitohs as far as I'm aware."
If Burgess does complete the switch, he has been lined up to play in the centres and if Bath is his destination, he could potentially partner Kyle Eastmond, who used to play for St Helens.

I was a long-distance caregiver for my parents for nearly 15 years. Through illness, surgery and rehabilitation, I helped them stay out of institutional care, like a nursing home, and instead remain at home – where they wanted to be. During this time, I purchased my house on Cape Cod in Massachusetts with my parents in mind – hoping that Mom and Pop could come to the Cape from New York, enjoy time by the seashore, and get some rest and …

While traveling to Erie, Pa., for a town meeting on family caregiving, I was reflecting on my family roots. A little more than 100 years ago, my Lithuanian grandparents immigrated to America and made Shenandoah, Pa., their first hometown.

Through the years, I've had to take time off from work to care for my mom and pop. And I've always been grateful that I worked for an employer that allowed me to take sick leave or to telework in order to be there for my parents. But I know I'm one of the lucky ones. Today, millions of American workers have no paid or unpaid sick leave. Each day they face loss of pay – or loss of their jobs …

Juggling work and family caregiving responsibilities is stressful, even overwhelming, because most workplaces aren't "caregiver friendly." I hear this all the time from my friends and colleagues who care for aging parents. Public policies can help working caregivers better manage their responsibilities so that they don't have to choose between work and family caregiving. One way states can help is by providing legal protections from employment discrimination due to caregiving status. States can also expand access to paid sick days …

ABSTRACT: By translating the principles of 'disease management' in an insurance environment, health insurance funds play an important role in the management of chronic diseases of their members. The independent health insurance funds in Belgium have developed an obesity disease management approach based on the integration of collective and individual prevention, early detection and immediate action. Incentive monetary prizes are provided if body mass index (BMI) is reduced by at least 5% following participation in the prescribed treatment plan. The independent health insurance funds plan to launch multimedia projects about the program to educate the target audience of lower income, less educated, obese patients.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: A review of the publications on hospital malnutrition in Europe over the last 5 years shows that the incidence and prevalence of malnutrition are still very high: 21 and 37%, respectively. The process of structured nutrition support is still far from being generally implemented, as based on the few studies available. As a result, malnutrition diagnosed on admission to hospital is still associated with adverse clinical outcome (increased length of stay and higher rates of complications).Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: Malnutrition was first highlighted as a prevalent concern in hospital care more than 30 years ago. In response the nutrition support field grew precipitously but changes in the healthcare environment have culminated in a period of accountability and consolidation in nutrition support practice over the past decade. Evolving regulatory environment and reimbursement policies have had a profound impact upon nutrition support and these trends are likely to continue. Both undernutrition and overnutrition (obesity) remain prevalent concerns in North America. In particular the growing prevalence of overweight/obesity will have far-reaching implications for nutrition support practitioners and will require the development, testing, and validation of new standards of assessment, intervention, and monitoring. Adoption of common language and definitions by practitioners will facilitate standardized interventions, outcome measures, and high quality research. The future remains bright with tailored nutrition interventions poised to become a part of the individual medical treatment plan for specific patient conditions and genotypes. Future research priorities should include studies of nutritional modulation of inflammatory conditions with specific nutrients and functional foods and the testing of individualized nutritional interventions tailored to gene polymorphisms.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: In the United Kingdom, 5% of the population are underweight or have features of malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition rises with age and is more common in the north of England than in the south, but comparable data are not available for Scotland. In 2003, the National Health Service Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) developed a standard for food, fluid and nutritional care in hospitals (FFNCH). In 2006, a peer review of Scottish health boards was published. The reviewers reported that all Scottish health boards had started to implement the standards, but not across all clinical areas. Every health board had set up a nutritional care group to oversee and advise on the implementation of the standards, but none had produced a financial framework to support the work of the groups. Most health boards had not fully developed a policy or strategic plan to improve nutritional care as required, and there was a shortage of specialist nutrition nurses and clinical and nutrition support teams to supervise the treatment of patients with complex nutritional needs. The Scottish experience emphasizes the size of the task that health services face to bring about change.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series. Clinical & performance programme 01/2009; 12:105-11.

Article: The economics of malnutrition.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite extensive information on the adverse physical and psychological consequences of malnutrition, there is little information on its economic consequences. International studies suggest that disease-related malnutrition increases hospital costs by 30-70%. In the United Kingdom the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) was used as the basis for identifying the prevalence of malnutrition in various care settings. Malnutrition increased both the frequency of admissions and length of stay in hospitals, as well as the frequency of visits to a general practitioner and hospital outpatient visits, and residency in care homes. After assigning nationally representative costs to the utilization of these services, the public expenditure on disease-related malnutrition in the UK in 2003 was estimated to be more than GBP 7.3 billion. The large cost of disease-related malnutrition means that small fractional cost savings from intervention can result in substantial absolute cost savings. A summary of nutritional intervention studies with cost analyses (including meta-analyses) and cost-effectiveness analyses are presented, and some of the clinical and ethical implications discussed.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

Article: ENHA: what is it and what does it do? Strategies to make malnutrition a key priority in EU health policy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In 2005, the European Nutrition for Health Alliance (ENHA, the Alliance) was established to raise awareness of the relevance and urgency of malnutrition and ensure that this important issue is included in policy discussions and appropriate action is taken by policymakers and stakeholders at EU and member state levels. Malnutrition remains under-recognized, under-detected and under-managed across Europe, 4 years after the publication of the Call to Action resolution issued by the Council of Europe in 2003, on food and nutritional care in hospitals. The goal of the ENHA is to implement policy changes in nutrition and health at government and healthcare organizational levels. The value of specific evidence-based medical interventions must be demonstrated.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series. Clinical & performance programme 01/2009; 12:121-6. DOI:10.1159/000235674

ABSTRACT: Enteral nutrition (EN) is generally defined by third party payers as tube feeding for patients who cannot take food orally. EN is widely accepted in the United States as an effective, often life-sustaining therapy. Coverage and payment policies for EN differ among payers and settings. These differences often may depend on whether EN is reimbursed as a discrete therapy or subsumed into a larger benefit. In the US, the Medicare and Medicaid programs are the major public payers for EN. EN may be susceptible to overuse, especially in the long-term care setting. The trends in coverage and payment for EN suggest tighter reimbursement; competitive bidding between suppliers and data-driven performance measurement and payments may be in the future for EN reimbursement.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: Oral liquid nutrition supplements (ONS) are widely used in community, residential and healthcare settings. ONS are intended for individuals whose nutrient requirements cannot be achieved by conventional diet or food modification, or for the management of distinctive nutrient needs resulting from specific diseases and/or conditions. ONS appear to be most effective in patients with a body mass index of <or=20. Studies are needed to evaluate the clinical and functional efficacy of food-based versus ONS nutrition interventions.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: Economists have devised three main techniques to evaluate healthcare treatments: cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis. Many countries have established regulatory authorities to examine the clinical safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of a product. Currently, economic evaluations play a limited role in decision-making but may increase in importance as healthcare costs continue to rise.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: Both the German statutory and private health insurances cover enteral nutrition (EN) products. Approximately 100,000 patients receive reimbursed EN; 70% are tube fed for an average 9 months. 70% of the tube-fed patients are cared for in institutions (i.e. for the elderly) and 30% at home. The prescription and reimbursement of EN is covered by Volume Five of the Social Legislation Code (Social Code Book No. 5). Reimbursement for EN depends on medical prescription and is in principle guaranteed whenever normal food intake is impaired and modification of normal nutrition and other measurements do not improve nutritional status. It is unclear what effect the reform laws will have on EN but they may impact the prices for medical devices and negotiations between health insurance funds and product manufacturers.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: When President Lyndon Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid bill into law in 1965, it ended the 46-year campaign to enact a healthcare program for senior citizens and started what is now a 42-year effort by the American Dietetic Association (ADA) and its members to expand its coverage to 'nutrition services' for all appropriate diseases, disorders and conditions. In December 2000, Congress passed a Medicare Part B Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) provision, limited to patients with diabetes and/or renal disease, effective January 2002. In December 2003, the Medicare Modernization Act expanded access to MNT benefit and ADA continues to focus on the role of the registered dietician in MNT. Successful expansion of MNT benefits will require that ADA continues to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness and efficacy of nutrition counseling, as performed by the registered dietitian.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

Article: Antioxidants and diabetes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Overproduction of superoxide by the mitochondrial electron transport chain is the common link between the various pathways of glucotoxicity. The increased oxidative byproducts in diabetes are the result of a glucose-induced increase in the production of reactive oxygen species and decreased antioxidant defense capacity. Several epidemiologic observations indicate an inverse association between vitamin E intake and coronary heart disease (CHD). There are several limitations in such studies including the fact that they rely on food questionnaires and dietary recalls. Large interventional trials have yielded inconsistent results. Of concern is that, in some of these studies there was a greater incidence of lung cancer or CHD. These observations underscore the potential hazards of consuming large amounts of antioxidants. At the present time, given the inconsistencies of the studies available, the widespread supplementation with pharmacological doses of antioxidants should be discouraged. Future studies should focus on identifying reliable markers of oxidation to incorporate these measurements in the clinical interventional trial.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: The glycemic index concept owes much to the dietary fiber hypothesis that fiber would reduce the rate of nutrient absorption and increase the value of carbohydrate foods in the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. However, properties and components of food other than its fiber content contribute to the glycemic and endocrine responses postprandially. The aim of the glycemic index classification of foods was therefore to assist in the physiological classification of carbohydrate foods which, it was hoped, would be of relevance in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Over the past two decades low glycemic index diets have been reported to improve glycemic control in diabetic subjects, to reduce serum lipids in hyperlipidemic subjects and possibly to aid in weight control. In large cohort studies, low glycemic index or glycemic load diets (glycemic index multiplied by total carbohydrate) have also been associated with higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, reduced C-reactive protein concentrations and with a decreased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. More recently, some case-control and cohort studies have also found positive associations between the dietary glycemic index and the risk of colon, breast and other cancers. While the glycemic index concept continues to be debated and there remain inconsistencies in the data, sufficient positive findings have emerged to suggest that the glycemic index is an aspect of diet of potential importance in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: Despite 30 years of research, the cause of type-1 diabetes remains unknown. Meanwhile, its incidence has risen three-fold, its clinical features have become increasingly difficult to distinguish from type-2 diabetes and the contribution of genes to its pathogenesis has changed. The accelerator hypothesis argues that type-1 and type-2 diabetes are the same disorder of insulin resistance set against different genetic backgrounds. It identifies three processes which variably accelerate beta cell loss: constitution, insulin resistance and the immune response to it. None of the accelerators leads to diabetes in the absence of weight gain, a trend which the hypothesis deems central to the rising incidence of all diabetes in the industrially developed and developing world. Weight gain causes an increase in insulin resistance, which results in the weakening of glucose control. The rising blood glucose accelerates beta cell apoptosis (glucotoxicity) and, by increasing beta cell immunogenicity, further accelerates apoptosis in a subset genetically predisposed to an intense immune response. Rather than overlap between the two types of diabetes, the accelerator hypothesis envisages overlay--one a subset of the other. Body mass is central to the development and rising incidence of all diabetes. Only tempo distinguishes type 1 from type 2. The control of weight gain, and with it insulin resistance, could be the means of preventing both by slowing their progression.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: Fructose is a monosaccharide which is abundant in nature. It is the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate. The availability of fructose increased substantially when it became possible in the 1960s to economically produce high fructose syrups from corn starch and other starches. Such high fructose syrups are now used to sweeten soft drinks, fruit drinks, baked goods, jams, syrups and candies. The most recent data available suggest that fructose consumption is increasing worldwide. Fructose presently accounts for about 10% of average total energy intake in the United States. Studies in both healthy and diabetic subjects demonstrated that fructose produced a smaller postprandial rise in plasma glucose and serum insulin than other common carbohydrates. Substitution of dietary fructose for other carbohydrates produced a 13% reduction in mean plasma glucose in a study of type-1 and type-2 diabetic subjects. However, there is concern that fructose may aggravate lipemia, particularly in men. In one study, daylong plasma triglycerides (estimated by determining the area under response curves) in healthy men was 32% greater during a high fructose diet than during a high glucose diet. There is also concern that fructose may be a factor contributing to the growing worldwide prevalence of obesity. Increasing fructose consumption is temporally associated with the increase in obesity. Moreover, on theoretical grounds, dietary fructose might increase energy intake. Fructose stimulates insulin secretion less than does glucose and glucose-containing carbohydrates. Since insulin increases leptin release, lower circulating insulin and leptin after fructose ingestion might inhibit appetite less than consumption of other carbohydrates and lead to increased energy intake. However, there is not yet any convincing experimental evidence that dietary fructose does increase energy intake. Although evidence that fructose has adverse effects is limited, adding fructose in large amounts to the diet may be undesirable, particularly for men. Fructose that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables is a modest component of energy intake and should not be of concern.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: This review focuses on the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine in the treatment of type-2 diabetes. Included were 84 controlled clinical studies of type-2 diabetes treated with Chinese medicine for at least 1 month. Reported outcomes were: symptom relief; improvement in glycemia, insulin resistance and secondary failure, and adverse events. Symptom relief was achieved in most (>80%) of the patients receiving Chinese medicine. Compared with orthodox drugs, Chinese medicine had a 1.2-fold (95% CI 1.2-1.3) increase in symptom relief. The relative risk of achieving a fasting blood glucose of <7.3 mmol/l or a postprandial blood glucose of <8.2 mmol/l was: 3.0 (95% CI 1.4-6.5) for Chinese medicine plus diet versus diet; 2.0 (95% CI 1.4-3.0) for Chinese medicine versus placebo; 1.8 (95% CI 1.4-2.3) for combined Chinese medicine and orthodox drugs versus Yuquan Wan (a classic Chinese herbal formula for diabetes), 1.5 (95% CI 1.4-1.7) for combined Chinese medicine and orthodox drugs vs. orthodox drugs, and 1.3 (95% CI 1.2-1.5) for Chinese medicine versus orthodox drugs. A fasting blood glucose of <8.2 mmol/l plus symptom relief was observed in 71-100% of the patients with secondary failure to oral anti-diabetic drugs. Serious adverse events including hypoglycemic coma and death were caused by adulteration with orthodox drugs, erroneous substitution, self-meditation, overdoses, and improper preparation. Chinese herbal medicine should be used cautiously with doctors' prescription and follow-up. Long-term clinical studies may disclose the effectiveness of Chinese medicine in reducing the mortality and morbidity of diabetic complications.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

ABSTRACT: The metabolic syndrome is a common metabolic disorder that results from the increasing prevalence of obesity. It also refers to a clustering of specific cardiovascular disease risk factors whose underlying pathophysiology is thought to be related to insulin resistance with an excessive flux of fatty acids implicated. Opinions have varied as to whether the metabolic syndrome should be defined to indicate mainly insulin resistance, the metabolic consequences of obesity, risk of cardiovascular disease, or simply a collection of statistically related factors. Based on these different viewpoints 4 definition sets of the metabolic syndrome are formulated. The pros and cons of each of them are extensively discussed. A major role in the etiology of the metabolic syndrome is ascribed to the occurrence of insulin resistance. Data are provided that insulin resistance can worsen the expression of this syndrome, but cannot have a primary role. Therefore, insulin resistance is not the main player of the metabolic syndrome, but central obesity is. Free fatty acid induced insulin resistance is found and induced by central obesity. The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of abnormalities in which each of them deserves its own (maximal) treatment to diminish the risk for cardiovascular disease.Nestlé Nutrition workshop series.

We got back from the signing tour for Dead Heat last week. As tours go, it was a short one, less than a week long, but they're still exhausting. I don't know how professional musicians (who may tour for months at a time) manage to stay sane. I'd be dead within the month!
This signing tour was rendered doubly-awesome because we were traveling with Anne Bishop. Anne is a delightful and interesting travel companion, and the fourth book of The Others series, Vision In Silver came out the same day as Dead Heat. I have to confess to feeling a little left out: although I've read the Black Jewels and much of Anne's older material, I hadn't read "The Others". Of course Patty and her assistant Ann had, which meant I was the only member of our happy troop that couldn't chatter excitedly about the plot twists and character development. I hope I managed to look like I was nodding sagely instead of falling quietly asleep1.
This was a series of almost-perfect signings. The crowds were generally in the 150-200 person range, which is large enough to feel like a solid gathering, and small enough that Patty and Anne could spend a few moments talking to people as they came through the line. For the most part, I think that everyone from the proprietors to the last reader standing had a good time. Between Patty and Anne, the line was a little slower than usual (two authors to talk to, instead of one!). I think it worked well, but we did have one bookstore that pointedly put all the chairs away and was basically rolling up the carpets under the last ten or twenty patrons. *sigh*. Still, overall, a grand time was had by all!
- After hearing everyone else gush about these books for a week, I've purchased them on audible and am listening quite raptly to the series. I would like to add my sincere recommendation to that of, well, everyone else!
Mercy Is Back in ComicsBy: Mike Aug 14, 2014
A few years ago we launched a series of Mercy Thompson comic books. The series launched with an origin story called Homecoming that was eventually released as a graphic novel, and then we tried to adapt the a couple of the Mercy and Alpha and Omega novels to the comic book format. We got to work with some very talented people, and it was fun to see the stories in graphic form, but there was something missing.
Almost two years ago, we called Nick Barruchi, the president of Dynamite, with a feeling of dread in our stomachs. We carefully explained that while we enjoyed working with him and his crew, we felt that final product was slightly lackluster, and that we would not be continuing. Much to our amazement, instead of anger and blame, Nick agreed with our assessment. He carefully explained that re-hashing the novels meant that we were playing to a limited audience. That meant production costs had to be controlled, which affected how much time the artists and writers could spend, which obviously affects the final product. Then he made us an offer — if Patty would come up with an original story idea, something that she would be comfortable basing a novel on, and let him base a graphic novel on it, he would do his best to blow her away.
We thought it over, and decided to take a chance. Patty thought up a creepy story that might have made a good novel, and sent it to Nick. Frankly, our expectations weren't too high. Then we saw the story draft, and it was good. We began to hope. The first art rolled in, Patty asked for a few corrections, and they were made promptly and the revised panels showed a great deal of promise. We got more excited. Then we saw the colored versions, and we have to admit that Nick has kept his word. This is a comic we're proud to be part of.
The original plan was to skip the comic medium, and publish this as a stand alone graphic novel, but after seeing the first dozen or so pages, it was decided to release it in comic form first. So, the first eposide of Mercy Thomposon: Hopcross Jilly will be available in October. You can find more information on

2 full price offers on the first day!
Wow! Well, first off, a big thanks to everyone in this forum, I learned an awful lot about selling a home and it seems to have been time well spent. An extra thanks to everyone whom I lost an argument against, those were of course the times of greatest learning.
It doesn't matter anymore since I've accepted an offer (of course, it could fall thru but I've got a backup offer) but here is my listing:
Here is a link that might be useful: My house for sale
That's great! I live in Lewisville, too, and the house looks fairly priced and I'm sure that helped.
In hindsight I probably could have asked 144,000 but then the offers would have come in in the upper 130's and we'd have the back-and-forth of counteroffers and more offers... I accepted one of the offers with no counter, so done. The buyer brought his parents over today to get some buy-in from them and that made me nervous but fortunately the parents' expectations were very reasonable so we're still a go.
And, no offense, but I'm tired of Lewisville. It's one of the main reasons I'm leaving - it doesn't feel like a community to me, just a place.
Congrats! Hope it goes through - I just posted this longggg post of an update from my experience on buying a home and the home inspectors - hopefully, you won't have any unknown problems come up during the inspection, if the buyers have one done, that is. You may want to read my posts to see the link of what they look for, and another post of what mine found - it may help you do some stuff before an inspector comes out - thankfully, you didn't have to go down in price - but some things may come up that can eat away at the money you get at closing.
Good luck, and best wishes for a smooth closing!!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Home Inspectors
Apparently my agent is very confident in the sale, the listing is no longer there on realtor.com.... oh well, so far my buyer seems like he's going thru with it. My buyer is this, um, kid, who still lives with his parents and its pretty much mom and dad, especially mom, that has been the actual negotiator. She's had all manner of inspectors out to the house, and they did find a few issues... no show-stoppers, but I am giving them an allowance at close now.
As far as the new house I'm going to, that's turning out to be a little more interesting. It is a house that is only 2 years old, yet during that time it doesn't seem to have had a lick of maintenance done on it.

On Friday, six ex-scientologists spoke out about their experiences inside the Church of Scientology at a Press Conference in Hollywood.
Each of the presenters was able to tell his or her personal story of life inside the organization.

Published in U.S.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) � The airwaves of Los Angeles were buzzing with accounts of Scientology abuses last Friday after ex-staffers held a news conference in Hollywood. This event and a weekend filled with activities called a Megaraid marked the second anniversary of Project Chanology, a global protest against Scientology by an internet-based group called Anonymous.
The press conference, which was also presented as a live video stream on the internet, was moderated by Mark Bunker an Emmy-winning journalist who has been covering Scientology since 1997. He is the webmaster for XENU TV (www.xenutv.com), which features video and audio interviews from former members, along documentaries, speeches, panels, protest videos, courtroom footage and a vast archive of broadcast media from around the world covering the controversial Scientology organization.
Each of the presenters was able to tell his or her personal story of life inside the organization. A prepared summary given to journalists at the event offered a brief biography of the speakers and a bit about their story. Additionally, the press was also given background information and samples of Scientology documents.
Marc Headley, the author of "Blown for Good," grew up in Hollywood, and joined Scientology�s Sea Org when he was just 16 years old. For 15 years he lived at Scientology�s International Base, where he worked 100-hour work weeks, for less than 50 cents an hour, and experienced mental and physical abuse. Headley told the conference of the dramatic escape he made, at age 32, from the heavily guarded Scientology compound in Hemet, California. He has since started a new life with his wife, who also escaped.
Jefferson Hawkins spent 35 years working for the Church of Scientology, all over the world, and at all echelons, including the top level at the Scientology International Base in Hemet, California. For much of his time in Scientology, Hawkins was a key executive in Scientology�s marketing department. He conceived and ran the well-known Dianetics campaign in the 1980s that resulted in Dianetics appearing on all major bestseller lists.
Hawkins talked about leaving Scientology in 2005 after experiencing firsthand the abuses and human rights violations at Scientology�s International Headquarters, including being allegedly beaten physically by Scientology�s leader, David Miscavige. Since 2006, he has been active in sharing his story concerning the Church of Scientology�s lies and abuses, and in providing help to individuals and families who have been harmed by Scientology.
Laura DeCrescenzo was recruited into the Sea Org at the age of 12. Married at16, she told of her story of becoming pregnant and subsequently forced to have an abortion, because children aren�t allowed in the Sea Org. She eventually became so desperate to escape she swallowed bleach to get herself thrown out. DeCrescenzo is now suing the church, alleging restricted freedom, forced abortions, severe punishment, and human trafficking.
Maureen Bolstad has stated that at age 15 she "got tricked into making a dumb mistake" and signed a contract to join Scientology staff. She was promised an education and regular pay. Instead, Bolstad worked 18 hours a day, seven days a week, and developed health and emotional problems. In 17 years, she only got to see her mother twice, for less than a week each time. She was allowed to leave after three years of being made to "confess her sins and evil intentions." Bolstad was divorced by her husband and still hasn�t heard from her sister, who stayed on staff, since 2006.
Will Fry was raised by scientologists, and attended Scientology boarding school while his parents worked for the church. As a teenager, he joined the Sea Org, but immediately realized he wanted out; it took him almost three years. Afterwards the church billed him $12,000 for a so-called "freeloader debt."
Nancy Many, author of "My Billion Year Contract," was a college student in Boston when she first joined Scientology. She signed the infamous "Billion Year" contract when she joined the Sea Org, and was sent to Clearwater, Fl, to work under L. Ron Hubbard.
When she was five months pregnant, Many was sent to the RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force--Scientology�s re-indoctrination and labor camp) where she was locked in the garage of the Fort Harrison Hotel until she was deemed "rehabilitated." After being subjected to relentless interrogations and confessions, Nancy suffered a mental breakdown that led to her leaving the church.
During her presentation, Many also talked about Greg Bashaw, who was a devotee to Scientology, and later took his life in 2002. "I hope you people today," she told the reporters present, "can relay the fact that people are dieing... people are dieing... people are going psychotic."
KABC, KTLA, KCAL/KCBS, KNBC and KTTV (Fox) all carried stories about the over two-hour press conference during their Friday evening news cycle, which also included a rebuttal by Scientology spokesman, Tommy Davis. Davis dismissed the statements as coming from angry former members who fabricated these stories.
Catholic Online contacted Davis� office for a comment and is still awaiting a response.
One observer at the event stated, "The media was at the press conference in force and showed a high level of interest. Mark Bunker did an absolutely superb job as the moderator. The event was emotional at times. One can read the internet, but when you see the people who actually lived the stories talk about it, it is almost overwhelming."
"It is hard to hear a woman fighting back tears as she speaks about being pressured to abort her first child for the �greatest good� by Scientology. Laura Decrescenzo was only seventeen years old when this happened. She was powerless and was told by Scientology that her baby was only tissue. She was broke, young, lacked a formal education, and was a stat in some production graph."
A question and answer time by the media present followed the presentation. Questions regarding the speaker�s stories were offered but some of the reporters preferred to focus more attention on the two lawsuits and the work of Anonymous.
Randy Sly is the Associate Editor of Catholic Online. He is a former Archbishop of the Charismatic Episcopal Church who laid aside that ministry to enter into the full communion of the Catholic Church in 2006. His reporting on the Church of Scientology has received global attention as the group�s activities come under increasing scrutiny.

A report on UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is overly secretive, tries to censor criticism and allows back room deals to dictate who gets some senior UN jobs.
Just days after he was granted a second term, Mr. Ban was accused of presiding over an "opaque" system, in which senior officials are hired after vacancies are not properly advertised and applicants' backgrounds are not always checked. ... The two authors of the report, members of the small, elite UN evaluation team ... charge that Mr. Ban's executive office stonewalled them in their mandated investigation of his hiring practices, refused access to personnel files, proposed changes to their recommendations that would, as they put it, "simply eviscerate the entire report" and, contrary to normal practice, refused to allow the authors to publish the Secretary-General's comments on their report.Sounds like the federal Tories can stop looking for their next leader.

Dunkin' Donuts restaurants are an institution in New England and popular along much of the East Coast. The company's richly valued shares now are priced as if the coffee and doughnut chain will duplicate that success in the rest of the country, and that's a tall order.

Dunkin is valued at 34 times 2010 pro forma earnings of 76 cents a share, a figure that makes certain adjustments to actual financials, including lower interest costs that reflect the company's reduced debt since last year.
There is no way to honey-glaze the challenge of expanding beyond Dunkin's East Coast roots. Emile Wamsteker/Bloomberg
"I'm very optimistic on Dunkin's growth potential, but I don't think that justifies the lofty valuation," says Joscelyn MacKay, a Morningstar analyst in Chicago. She estimates the company will earn about 75 cents this year, while one institutional investor sees something closer a dollar. Assuming Dunkin' earns 85 cents a share this year—it netted 32 cents in the first half—it trades for 30 times earnings. Based on next year's potential $1.05 a share, its price/earnings multiple drops to 25.
Many big restaurant stocks, including McDonald's, Tim Hortons and Starbucks, trade for 15 to 20 times estimated 2012 profits. DineEquity, the owner of the IHOP pancake franchise, has a P/E of 10.
MacKay pegs fair value for Dunkin' at 17. That's about 11 times projected 2012 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, a common restaurant valuation metric. The stock's current market value is 14 times next year's estimated Ebitda of about $325 million. Analysts haven't published profit estimates for 2011 and 2012 because they haven't yet picked up coverage of the stock. That will happen shortly.
Bulls expect Dunkin' Donuts to use its attractive franchise-oriented business model to expand westward in the U.S. and overseas. "There are very few retail brands that have significant white-space opportunities in the U.S. and internationally," says Neil Moses, Dunkin's chief financial officer. Moses says Dunkin' aspires to "top quartile" performance in the restaurant industry, with high-single-digit revenue growth and more than 15% annual growth in earnings per share. He says the company probably will consider initiating dividends next year.
Dunkin' owns relatively few restaurants; it receives a royalty fee of about 5% of the revenue of its U.S. franchisees, who shoulder the cost of outfitting new stores at about a cost of $475,000 each. The average U.S. store generates nearly $1 million in annual revenue.
Dunkin' Donuts' U.S. store segment accounts for almost 75% of total revenue, and encompasses 6,838 restaurants and other locations, including kiosks. The company plans to open 200-250 new stores a year. At the restaurant level, coffee and other drinks account for more than half of sales and profits.
Baskin-Robbins is the U.S. leader in hard ice cream, but the brand's comparable store sales declined in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Management vows to revitalize it.
FOR ALL ITS EXPANSION POTENTIAL, Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' remains largely a breakfast-oriented regional chain. Growth outside the home territory can be tough, as Tim Hortons has proved. Its 600 U.S. coffee and doughnut stores are marginally profitable.
The Bottom Line
Dunkin' Brands came public last month at 19 a share and immediately rocketed to 28. The stock now trades for 26, but fair value may be closer to 17.
Dunkin's revenue growth hasn't been stellar. Sales rose 7% last year, to $577 million, and revenue in this year's first half was 7% higher than that of a year earlier. Sales at stores open a year or more fell in 2008 and '09 by about 1% each year, before rising 2.3% in 2010 and 3.8% in the latest quarter.
Dunkin' has $1.5 billion in debt, a legacy of its 2006 leveraged buyout. Its market value is $3.2 billion.
Some of the enthusiasm for Dunkin' might reflect scarcity value; in its public offering, the company sold only 25 million shares of its 123 million outstanding. Some 75% of the stock is held by three private-equity firms—Bain Capital, Thomas H. Lee and Carlyle Group, each with nearly 30 million shares. The talk is that some Boston-based institutional investors were big buyers of the offering, partly because their managers are frequent customers.
Dunkin's leveraged-buyout sponsors paid an average of $10 a share. Today's investors will find tastier opportunities elsewhere in the restaurant sector.
A Pricey Confection
Dunkin' Brands commands a much higher price/earnings multiple than rivals. It's not because the coffee is better, although it could be because there are fewer shares.

Great news for Open Letter! The Daily Beast just posted a selection of five "Hot Reads" for September: The Spark of Life by Frances Ashcroft (Norton), We Have the War Upon Us by William J. Cooper (Knopf), Sutton: A Novel by J.R. Moehringer (Hyperion), Ike's Bluff by Evan Thomas (Little, Brown), and The Canvas by Benjamin Stein (Open Letter).
Yay for us! And for Benjamin and translator Brian Zumhagen!
Before getting into the piece itself, I just want to say that we're planning an October reading tour for Benjamin, and he'll be in New York, Chicago, Buffalo, and Rochester between 10/15 and 10/30. All the details will go up later this week.
Also, if you're a subscriber your copy of The Canvas is going out tomorrow. When you read the next post, you'll understand the unfortunate delay in this. And if you're not a subscriber, SIGN UP NOW and I'll give you this book for free, in addition to your 5-book or 10-book subscription. (You'll also be able to sleep better at night knowing that you helped out an ambitious, kind-hearted nonprofit press that's over-loaded with activities and trying its best to spread the love of international literature.)
Here's the write-up on The Canvas by The Daily Beast:
It's rare that a book with an obvious gimmick isn't, on some level, attempting to compensate for a deficiency that would glare more brightly under standard presentation, but luckily for Benjamin Stein, his new novel is far less experimental than it first appears. The book has two front covers, so that the reader can begin from either starting point and work his way toward the middle, each direction telling the story from the point of view of a different protagonist, First, Amnon Zirchroni, is a psychoanalyst in Zurich. The other, Jan Wechsler, is a publisher in Munich. For both men, their Judaism figures large in their lives, and in fact at the physical middle of the novel features a glossary of Yiddish terms that pervade the book. As the two stories close in on each other, a mystery develops around a potentially fabricated Holocaust memoir that echoes the real-life case of Binjamin Wilkomirski's book Fragments, published in 1995. Although the bifurcated format is interesting for a minute or two, the best way to approach this book is to read alternating chapters of each character; in other words, like a standard narrative. And, really, there is no need for the distraction: this is a heady, distinctly German book with philosophical inquires on memory, identity, and language itself, and the complex plot should have had the confidence to stand on its own.
This is a great description of the book, and makes me want to reread it immediately. Also, I would recommend reading alternating chapters rather than one narrative than the next, but really, the choice is yours.
Personally though, I don't think this is as much of a gimmick, as The Daily Beast writer claims it is. Let me explain.
The point of the two-sided, no-front-or-back set up is so that neither narrative—Amnon Zichroni's nor Jan Wechsler's—receives an preferential treatment. The core concept of this book is about the faultiness of memory, the malleability of reality, and the process by which we come to believe (or not believe) in something. The way you read this book will alter what you come to think about the main characters—in particular, Minksy, the Wilkomirskyi-esque character.
One idea that I had (thanks to former intern/U of R student Acacia O'Connor) to promote The Canvas was to send manuscript versions of it around to various readers organized in a variety of ways: with Zichroni's complete narrative followed by Wechsler's, vice versa, or with alternating chapters beginning with Zichroni, and vice versa. There are multitude ways you could read this book, but just those four would result in varied responses from readers, which is something I find really interesting. And which is why the book is printed like this. It's not to be gimmicky, but to underscore the fact that neither of these narratives is more privileged than the other. (Which is one reason why this isn't an ebook—you'd have to list one part before the other, or do something that wouldn't be completely neutral.)
Anyway, thanks to The Daily Beast for kicking off the mass attention this book is certain to generate. And I'm sure you'll be hearing more about this book over the next couple months.
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .

- Forum: Classic Menswear
- Thread: My first suit. Need shoe help.
It's all personal opinion so go with what you feel. I can't really tell what colour the suit is but if it's black or charcoal I'd go for black shoes. If you want to wear that shirt, maybe a dark blue tie with a small white pattern. I quite like the idea of burgundy shoes though, maybe with a purple tie and preferably a white shirt with a purple/pinkish pattern. Sometimes you just have to spend ages just testing stuff out.

'Fuji Waterfall' hydrangea pict
I took a picture of my favorite hydrangea flower. I thought I would post it since you don't see "Fuji Waterfall" at nurseries i've ever been to and some of y'all might not have seen it. I think its darned pretty! They have it when aldridge gardens has a sale.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I saw this hydrangea recently at one of the gardens on our regional daylily garden tour. I asked the owner what it was and she couldn't remember the name. Thanks so much for posting this photo. Now maybe I can find it for sale somewhere.
Very nice. I purchased a few hydrangeas at the Aldridge sale in May. If anyone is interested in hydrangea, these typically sell for $25.00 and are 3 gallon plants - a bargin for a nice sized healthy hydrangea. I plan to go back in to their fall sale and buy a few more. I am going to make note of the name of this one.

The Resavska Cave lies in the eastern Serbia in the vicinity of the town of Despotovac (20 km). The cave is 52 km from the Belgrade-Niš motorway, 152 km from Belgrade, and 120km from Sokobanja. The length of the cave totals to 2,850 meters and the tourist paths is 800 m long. The air temperature is 7oC and the average humidity 80%-100%. The Resava Cave consists of three floors of passages and halls connected by artificial tunnels and decorated by pillars and coral-like calcite deposits in various colours. Only parts of the first and second floors (Upper and Lower Gallery) have been prepared for visits. An underground river flows through the lowest floor (Third Gallery). The visitor to Resava can tour its numerous halls with different cave ornaments. The cave is very rich in cave ornaments of various shapes and colours and is richer than other tourist caves in the concentration of its decorations.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

climbing plants
sykomommie(8)May 28, 2014
Hi, I live in Mobile Al. I have a chain link fence around my yard with a PVC arch over the drive way. I would like to have it covered with some type of vine or flowering something to grow over and cover it. Any suggestions? Please.
madabouteu(8A - central Alabama)
So many possibilities... in your area the first possibility that would come to mind is a Passiflora, at least for the arch. You have a lot of semitropical plants to choose from - I am trying to remember from when I lived in New Orleans! Aristolochia has several species such as A, grandiflora and A. gigantea that would be truly spectacular but A. littoralis would be too small.
