The lack of sexual desire in women not only may cause distress but can have negative effects on personal relationships, quality of life, and general health status. Clinicians need to understand the implications and address the concerns of their patients.
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is the most prevalent sexual disorder for women of all ages, but it is also one of the most difficult to address. Prevalence rates vary among studies due to differences in definition of hypoactive desire, methods of data collection, age-group studied, and other defined criteria as the reason for such discrepancies.1,2 Segraves and Woodard suggest that the prevalence of HSDD varies between 5.4% and 13.6%.2 West et al reported an 8.3% prevalence of HSDD.3 And, the PRESIDE (Prevalence of Female Sexual Problems Associated with Distress and Determinants of Treatment Seeking) study reported 8.9% of women ages 18 to 44, 12.3% ages 45 to 64, and 7.4% ages 65 and older had HSDD.4
In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th Edition, Text Revision), HSDD is defined as "a deficiency or absence of sexual fantasies and desire for sexual activity. The disturbance must cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty."5 Critical to a diagnosis is the subjective judgment of the health care provider. "The diagnosis must rely on clinical judgment based on the individual's characteristics, the interpersonal determinants, the life context, and the cultural setting."5
Midlife women with HSDD typically express a loss or major decline in sexual thoughts, a decline in interest in initiating relations, and a decline in being receptive to a partner's initiation. There are also, however, women who have had lifelong HSDD, and although they do not report a loss of desire, they may be just as distressed or bothered by the absence of desire. They desire to desire.

In order to determine what is abnormal or dysfunctional, it is helpful to understand what is "normal." It may not be particularly helpful to the clinician to use a statistical norm to determine what is considered low sexual desire. For example, basing "normal" on the average frequency of sexual activity for an American couple may not be appropriate or useful. Even basing normal on the appropriate endpoint of average frequency of desire (as opposed to the often-used endpoint of sexual activity) is not necessarily accurate.
Each woman will have her own definition of what is normal sexual desire based on her culture, her background, and sexual experiences, as well as on her own biologic drive. Most women will also have some day-to-day variability in sexual interest based on stressors, other life events, and neuroendocrine functions. In addition to expecting day-today variability, interest in sex tends to gradually decline over the life span.
The intensity of sexual desire a woman experiences may decline as she ages. Often, these changes are attributed to increasing demands on a woman's time as she gets older (eg, family, career) or the cultural message that older women are no longer sexual beings. Neuroendocrine changes (eg, declining testosterone, changes in neurochemistry, indirect changes from loss of estrogen and resulting vulvovaginal atrophy) may contribute to a declining interest in sex.
In addition to the lack of consensus about what is "normal" desire, female sexual response is variable, with no empirical data to support one theoretical model over another. It may be helpful to understand the prevailing theoretical models used to understand a woman's sexual response. The conceptualization of female sexual response has evolved over time.
The first model, proposed by Masters and Johnson in the mid-1960s, suggests a linear trajectory that is invariant for both males and females.6 It incorporates a 4-stage process:
The second model, Kaplan's tripartite structure proposed in the 1970s, is also linear but emphasizes the importance of the cognitive aspect of desire in contrast to physiologic arousal.7
Then, in the late 1990s, Basson developed a nonlinear model of female sexual response that integrates emotional intimacy, sexual stimuli, and relationship satisfaction and takes into account the many reasons women initiate or are receptive to a sexual encounter. Women may enter into sexual activity to increase emotional closeness and commitment, for example, without having had previous desire or thoughts about sexual activities.8 This decision leads to a willingness to focus on sexual stimulation that is processed in her mind and influenced by various biologic and psychologic factors. Continued stimulation produces increased intensive sexual excitement that produces sexual desire.
In 2008, West et al found that the highest rates of distress about low sexual desire were reported by recently surgically menopausal women, which may be an adjustment to their sudden hormonal changes.3 Similarly, the Women's International Study of Health and Sexuality (WISHeS) noted that while the prevalence of low desire with distress was 9% for naturally menopausal women, the prevalence in younger (ages 20-49) surgically menopausal women was 26%.9 Clinicians should discuss sexual concerns when treating women who have recently undergone bilateral oophorectomy.
Two studies by Hayes et al provide information about risk factors:
A woman's medical history can also influence her risk for HSDD. Evidence indicates that certain organic diseases and physical conditions, including breast cancer, pregnancy, diabetes, depression, urinary incontinence, autoimmune disorders, and multiple sclerosis, are associated with HSDD.12 Assuming that a woman's medical condition per se is the dominant factor, however, is often not correct. For instance, depression is the major factor determining whether women with multiple sclerosis, renal failure, or diabetes have sexual dysfunction.13
For some midlife women, decline in sexual desire over time may be modest and therefore not a major problem for her overall sense of sexuality and life satisfaction. They therefore do not meet the criteria for a diagnosis of HSDD. However, some women are extremely distressed that their sexual desire is diminished greatly or gone completely. Only a few studies have attempted to systematically characterize the psychologic and emotional impact of HSDD.
The DESIRE (Desire and its Effects on Female Sexuality Including Relationships) study revealed that women distressed about low sexual desire also experienced negative emotional states associated with their low desire.14 The WISHeS study indicated that women with HSDD experienced large and statistically significant declines in health status, particularly in mental health, social functioning, vitality, and emotional role fulfillment.9 Biddle et al systematically described that women with HSDD experience greater health burdens, including more comorbid medical conditions, and were nearly twice as likely to report fatigue, depression, memory problems, back pain, and lower quality of life (QOL).15
Despite the small number of studies, however, we now have compelling epidemiologic data indicating that HSDD is highly prevalent and is a great burden on health and QOL. Other large-scale surveys, in comparison, have demonstrated that sexual satisfaction in women is associated with general well-being.16-18
Treatment options for HSDD vary, depending on which components of desire are compromised (eg, biologic mediators of drive vs relationship conflict, or both). If the primary factor is psychologic or interpersonal, then sex therapy or psychotherapy would typically be the treatment of choice (either individual or couples). In contrast, a pharmacologic option might be the first-line treatment for women whose primary source of HSDD is physiologic—medical issues that have developed as a result of the condition.
There is currently no FDA-approved pharmacologic treatment for HSDD. Many clinicians, however, prescribe testosterone off-label and monitor side effects. The antidepressant bupropion is also sometimes used off-label for the treatment of HSDD; it was shown in one trial to have a mild to moderate effect on promoting sexual response.19 The drug is also prescribed to treat the sexual side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
Although sexual problems are common to women of all ages, they are underdiagnosed and undertreated.20 A lack of patient-physician awareness of the high prevalence of sexual problems, inadequate training in sexual medicine, fear of time constraints, poor reimbursement, perception of lack of available treatments, and difficulties with communication have all been cited as major reasons underlying the failure to identify female sexual disorders.20 The most relevant barrier, however, is that addressing sexual concerns and QOL is not seen as high a priority as other medical issues. We now have data to refute this misperception, and clinicians can no longer plead ignorance about the health burdens of HSDD. Without proper recognition of these sexual problems, women remain untreated and at higher risk for adverse consequences in their personal relationships, QOL, and general health status.

The No. 1 seed New York Rangers got goals from Ryan Callahan, Marian Gaborik, Brian Boyle and Brad Richards, and 30 saves from goalie Henrik Lundqvist en route to a 4-2 win over the No.8 seed Ottawa Senators, to give them a 1-0 lead in their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series.
Callahan opened the scoring 12:01 into the first period when he corralled a rebound off a shot from the point, sliding the puck just between the goalpost and the left skate of Senators goalie Craig Anderson. Anton Stralman and Artem Anisimov received assists on the goal.
New York extended its lead late in the second period when Gaborik picked up a loose puck and slipped through Anderson's five hole with 3:36 remaining. That was followed by a snap shot by Brian Boyle in the final minute of the period that gave the Rangers a 3-0 lead entering the final 20 minutes.
Early in the third period, Carl Hagelin forced a turnover on the forecheck and fed Brad Richards to give the Blueshirts a 4-0 lead with 17:45 to play. The Senators would add a pair of goals late, with Daniel Alfredsson tipping in a point shot to break Lundqvist's shutout and Erik Condra scoring on a wrist shot with 2:19 to play.
Aside from the scoreboard and control of the action, Game 1 could not have been more even on the stat sheet. The Senators out-shot the Rangers 32-to-31, hits were even at 37 apiece and Ottawa held a 35-to-32 edge in the face-off circle.
Game 2 of the series is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.

Stupid Stock Move of the Day! Eaton down?June 4, 2012: 2:12 PM ET
#StupidStock Move of the Day! Yes, economy is scary. But $ETN, a quality industrial, down 4% on heavy volume? CEO a straight shooter too.—
Paul R. La Monica (@LaMonicaBuzz) June 04, 2012
It's understandable that investors are nervous about the global economy. There's a lot of scary news out there. But some of the better industrial companies out there are really taking it on the chin. And it may be an overreaction. Eaton (ETN) is a case in point.
Shares of the Cleveland-based maker of electrical components and power systems for trucks and automobiles fell on heavy volume Monday. There was no company specific news but investors may be worried about the poor factory orders number for April that the government released Monday morning. Investors may also still be jittery following last week's warning from mining equipment company Joy Global (JOY).
But Eaton, along with industrial equipment companies like Caterpillar (CAT) and Cummins (CMI) may be oversold. "Does the current weakness in the global economy really justify a 30% selloff in $CMI and $CAT. Not to mention a 26% decline in $ETN" wonders sld1986 over on StockTwits.
No. I talk with Eaton CEO Sandy Cutler every couple of months about the global economy and find him to be refreshingly candid. There's no BS and no jargon. We last spoke in April about the problems in Europe. He warned that the worst was not over. But the company has made an interesting move in Europe since then, agreeing to buy Irish-based electrical components maker Cooper Industries (CBE) for $11.8 billion.
That may make some investors worried. But it takes guts to announce a merger in these tumultuous times and even more guts to strike a deal anywhere in Europe. If Eaton pulls off the Cooper deal with minimal integration issues, people will look back at this time as one where the stock was unusually cheap. Shares now trade at 8.5 times 2012 earnings estimates. Profits are expected to increase 14% this year and in 2013. Cleveland rocks and so should Eaton's stock.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is focusing its attention on what some call the "Big 4" causes of jobsite injuries and deaths: falls, trench and excavation accidents, electrocutions, and workers being struck by or caught by equipment. In addition to the focus on these hazards, local emphasis by OSHA compliance officers on specific aspects of jobsite safety, like scaffolding for example, means they may stop to inspect a site even if they don't see evidence of violations. Then, any violation they do see can lead to trouble?and costly citations.
OSHA's guidelines for safety in each area are easily obtained by contacting your local compliance office or reviewing compliance information on the agency's Web site, www.osha.gov. You also can arrange for risk-free consultations through OSHA's free Consultation Program for small- and medium-sized companies. Consultants will walk your work sites with you and point out problems and remedies without issuing citations or imposing penalties for anything they see. These are not enforcement officers, and their visits are confidential. They will meet with you before and after their walkthrough to review their findings, and then summarize them in a written report that you can use to guide your safety program. You also can use the service to help develop and maintain a safety program and provide training and education for your employees.
To learn more about this program, visit www.osha.gov and click on "Consultation" on the home page. OSHA's Web site content also is available in Spanish.

Bone cancer is an uncommon cancer that begins in a bone. Bone cancer can begin in any bone in the body, but it most commonly affects the long bones that make up the arms and legs.
Several types of bone cancer exist. Some types of bone cancer occur primarily in children, while others affect mostly adults.
The term "bone cancer" doesn't include cancers that begin elsewhere in the body and spread (metastasize) to the bone. Instead, those cancers are named for where they began, such as breast cancer that has metastasized to the bone. Bone cancer also doesn't include blood cell cancers, such as multiple myeloma and leukemia, that begin in the bone marrow — the jelly-like material inside the bone where blood cells are made.
Signs and symptoms of bone cancer include:
When to see a doctor
Make an appointment with your doctor if you or your child develops signs and symptoms that worry you.
It's not clear what causes most bone cancers. Doctors know bone cancer begins as an error in a cell's DNA. The error tells the cell to grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. These cells go on living, rather than dying at a set time. The accumulating mutated cells form a mass (tumor) that can invade nearby structures or spread to other areas of the body.
Types of bone cancer
Bone cancers are broken down into separate types based on the type of cell where the cancer began. The most common types of bone cancer include:
It's not clear what causes bone cancer, but doctors have found certain factors are associated with an increased risk, including:
If you have any signs and symptoms that worry you, start by making an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner. If your doctor suspects you may have bone cancer, you may be referred to a specialist. Bone cancer is often treated by a team of specialists that may include:
How to prepare
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Try to:
Questions to ask
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For bone cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Imaging tests
What imaging tests you undergo depends on your situation. Your doctor may recommend one or more imaging tests to evaluate the area of concern, including:
Removing a sample of tissue for laboratory testing
Your doctor may recommend a procedure to remove (biopsy) a sample of tissue from the tumor for laboratory testing. Testing can tell your doctor whether the tissue is cancerous and, if so, what type of cancer you have. Testing may also reveal the cancer's grade, which helps doctors understand how aggressive the cancer may be.
Types of biopsy procedures used to diagnose bone cancer include:
Determining the type of biopsy you need and the particulars of how it should be performed requires careful planning by your medical team. Doctors need to perform the biopsy in a way that won't interfere with future surgery to remove bone cancer. For this reason, ask your doctor for a referral to an appropriate surgeon before your biopsy.
Tests to determine the extent (stage) of the bone cancer
Once your doctor diagnoses your bone cancer, he or she works to determine the extent (stage) of your cancer. The cancer's stage guides your treatment options.
Stages of bone cancer include:
The treatment options for your bone cancer are based on the type of cancer you have, the stage of the cancer, your overall health and your preferences. Bone cancer treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination of treatments.
The goal of surgery is to remove the entire bone cancer. To accomplish this, doctors remove the tumor and a small portion of healthy tissue that surrounds it. Types of surgery used to treat bone cancer include:
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-powered beams of energy, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. During radiation therapy, you lie on a table while a special machine moves around you and aims the energy beams at precise points on your body.
Radiation therapy may be used in people with bone cancer that can't be removed with surgery. Radiation therapy may also be used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that may be left behind. For people with advanced bone cancer, radiation therapy may help control signs and symptoms, such as pain.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy is most often given through a vein (intravenously). The chemotherapy medications travel throughout your body.
Chemotherapy alone or combined with radiation therapy is often used before surgery to shrink a bone cancer to a more manageable size that allows the surgeon to perform a limb-sparing surgery. Chemotherapy may also be used in people with bone cancer that has spread beyond the bone to other areas of the body.
A diagnosis of cancer, whether yours or your child's, presents big challenges. Remember that no matter what your concerns or the prognosis, there are resources and strategies that may make dealing with cancer easier. Here are some suggestions for coping:

2 tablespoons
olive oil
2 small
onions, finely chopped
1 pound
smoked sausage, cut into half moons
1 pound
kielbasa sausage, cut into half moons
1 (20 ounce) package
shredded hash brown potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes®)
2 cups
water, or as needed
bay leaves
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1/4 cup
2 cups
1 pinch
The smokiness of the onions and sausage really come through in this soup. I was amazed at how flavorful it was with such few ingredients. I only let my potatoes simmer for 30 minutes because I wanted the texture and also I prefer my soups thinner. It needed more than just a pinch of salt but other than that I have no complaints. I do think celery would be a nice addition the next time I make this. Thanks for the great recipe!
great, clean, and fancy flavor... so much much better than the overly cheesy and greasy kinds i have tried in the past. i love it! thanks for submitting!

THE Best I've ever had!
Yum, the whole family loved this soup. I used kielbasa and chicken and Apple sausage. So good!
Very nice as written. I have also made it with half the kielbasa, chicken broth for all the liquid, and no thickener; and have also been very happy with the result. Thank you for the recipe.
Easy to make and tastes delicious! No changes here.
Oh, yum! I made this as written, with one small change: I added two chicken bouillon cubes to the soup, because I thought it might need a little "something extra." This was really great soup, and it was exceptionally easy. Everyone in the family, including my "I don't like soup" son, loved it. Next time, I may add chopped celery and carrot, but really, it doesn't need a thing. Thanks for a great recipe.

Mother and Daughter Lanz When we were engaged, my now-wife mentioned that if we ever had a daughter, she wanted matching Lanz nightgowns. At the time there were Lanz of Salzburg stores in several locations in Southern California. Now Vermont Country Store is the only place that I can find them, and after 29 Christmas Eve's I can't imaging what would happen if I could not find them. I am looking forward to the day when I can buy three or more (hoping for granddaughters). Thanks for helping me to continue a wonderful tradition! November 28, 2013

In 2013, Andy Warstar spent his time wintering in Brisbane, Australia, getting all rehabilitated and stuff. Because in the magical year of 2012, it seemed that your old pal Andy Warstar experienced the magical "Shift" of consciousness that all the hippies were talking about (either that, or he may have finally cracked). With the stress of being jobless and homeless for so darn long in the United States, it was inevitable that Warstar would escape the bleak, economically destitute climate of southern Oregon and return to the abundance of Australia, the land of his birth.
As an added bonus for Warheads, the Ethellen - Special Edition has been released so as to fit onto one compact disc (if you're into the whole brevity thing). With a framed album cover, the beauty of Ethellen really shines. Many thanks to Gary from New Zealand for requesting this, and you shall have a copy mailed out to you shortly, sir! (Warheads please also note links to Ethellen t-shirts in the side bar) That's right folks, if you've been looking for a classic Andy Warstar album that contains multiple reasons to indulge in The Andy Warstar Collection, ETHELLEN comes through (and then some!). Enjoy & Rock On...

Katie's POW pen friend
2:47pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News By Gavin Havery, Reporter (Derwentside & Tyneside)
A SCHOOLGIRL from the North-East has formed an unlikely friendship with a World War Two prisoner of war.
Katie Spence, 15, from Consett, County Durham, was moved to write to Denis Avey after reading his book, The Man Who Broke Into Auschwitz.
In the book, Mr Avey, now in his 90s, explains how he came to be held prisoner in E715A, a camp for Allied Prisoners of War adjacent to Monowitz.
He says he exchanged uniforms with a Jewish inmate of Auschwitz to find out more about the conditions with a view to reporting them to the authorities after the war.
Mr Avey replied to her letter and he and Katie, a pupil of St Bede's in Lanchester, have become pen friends and sent each other Christmas cards.
She said: "I was inspired and overwhelmed by the bravery of the man so I decided to contact the British holocaust centre who forwarded a letter that I wrote to him explaining to him my emotions and how proud of him I was.
"I am pleased that I had contacted him as I felt he deserved recognition for his actions.
"Mr Avey was very pleased to see that his book could inspire younger generations."

Hurricane Sandy hit Haiti in late October, bringing with it a rise in cholera cases. Even though the Ministry of Health's response to cholera remains inadequate, many aid organizations are leaving the country. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs five cholera treatment centers to respond to the epidemic and teams have increased the number of beds in order to deal with the influx of patients. At the treatment centers, patients receive oral or intravenous rehydration and the most severe cases receive antibiotics.More >

Welker was averaging 148 receiving yards a game with 740 receiving yards on the season and five touchdowns through his first five games of the 2011 NFL season. Welker's receiving yards per game is up nearly 100 yards per game.
Welker was ranked by Yahoo! as the 2nd ranked wide receiver heading into Week 6 taking on the Dallas Cowboys who rank 14th against the pass.

KI (Potassium Iodide) is an over-the-counter medication that can protect one part of the body, which is the thyroid, if you are exposed to inhalation or ingestion of radioactive iodine. KI fills our thyroid with stable iodine so that it cannot absorb radioactive iodine. If KI is taken before or shortly after exposure to radioactive iodine, it can protect the thyroid from being damaged by radioactive iodine.
Is KI safe?
KI is considered safe for most people but can cause minor side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances and rashes. Those who are allergic to iodine should not take KI. Anyone who is not sure if they can take KI should talk to their doctor. Do not take KI unless public health officials tell you to do so.
Will pharmacies sell potassium iodide?
Area Health Departments are working with several local pharmacy chains to encourage them to stock potassium iodide (KI) for those unable to make either distribution date, or those not eligible for the free distribution. View list of pharmacies will carry KI.
Each dose lasts for approximately 24 hours.
In the event of a threatened or actual nuclear power plant release, evacuation remains the best course of action for protecting your health. Potassium iodide is not a replacement for evacuation. It does not provide protection from full body irradiation or other radioactive elements that may be the result of a nuclear power plant release. Potassium iodide only protects the thyroid gland from one form of radiation. If there were an actual nuclear release, it would likely contain many types of radiation that may affect additional organs in the body.
Each person in the family will be given 2 pills. You should use the following chart to determine the dose for each person in the family. You can use a sharp knife to break the pills and for small children, they might take it easier if it is crushed and put in some food or liquid they like.
AGE GROUPS KI DOSE AMOUNT OF 130mg PILL
Adult over 18 yrs. 130 mg (1 pill) 1 pill
Over 3-18 yrs 65 mg 1/2 pill
Over 1mo-3 yrs 32mg. 1/4 pill
Birth to 1 month 16mg. 1/8 pill
Some individuals may experience minor side effects such as nausea, GI upset, and shin rash.
As with any medication, you should discuss this with your physician. KI is used in small amounts in iodized salt. The FDA has determined that most people can safely take KI at the doses above.
If you are allergic or have either of two rare disorders associated with allergy to iodine (dermatitis herpetiformis and hypocomplementemic vasculitis), you should not take KI.
Pregnant women and newborns should not receive more than one dose of KI and should be checked by their doctor soon after taking KI to make sure thyroid function remains normal.
You will be able to get it at the shelter in the event of a nuclear release.
In the event of a release of radioactive material from a nuclear power plant, you will be advised through the Emergency Alert System and the media (radio and TV) of the protective actions you should be taking. These instructions could include: evacuate the area; stay inside; and /or take KI. Any recommendation to take KI will be made by public health authorities. Do not take KI before advised to do so by public health authorities.
Check with their doctor ahead of time and ask the physician if it's ok for them to take KI.
This Web site lists the dates, times and locations of KI distribution for those living within the 10-mile radius of both nuclear sites.
The state has supplied only enough KI for those living within the 10-mile radiuses of both sites. KI will be available for persons living outside this range at local drugstores.
If you wish, you may purchase KI a at a local drugstore.
Those persons with chronic illnesses should check with their physician before deciding to take anything other than that ordered by their physician.
Again, check with your physician.
KI will NOT be distributed to animals. If you are concerned, check with your vet.
If a nuclear concern develops, your first concern should be evacuation. If you don't have your KI at that time, you will be able to get it at shelters.
Medicaid will not pay for an over-the-counter drug. KI is fairly inexpensive, about $9 to $10 for 10 pills.
If they are living within the 10-mile radius of the nuclear power plants, they will be able to obtain the KI at identified sites on 10/19/02 and 10/22/02. They should make a point of listening to the news and checking the newspaper for times they can pick up KI. They may also buy it from a drug store or on the Internet.
Potassium iodide has a shelf life of five years. It should not be kept in the car, the bathroom or kitchen due to the changing temperatures and humidity levels, since all drugs react to intense heat and cold.

AFC Wimbledon call on fans to help house the loan stars
3:00pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
AFC Wimbledon are bringing in faces in the January transfer window, but they need your help to house them.
Such is the club's financial constraints they are hoping fans can accommodate new loan players – so do you fancy sharing your dinner table with a Dons star?
A statement on the club website read: "The club is looking to put together a register of people who can provide lodgings for players on loan at AFC Wimbledon.
"If you have a spare room in your family home and live a reasonable distance from AFC Wimbledon, based in Kingston upon Thames, then we would like to hear from you."
Boss Neal Ardley has already recruited Middlesbrough striker Charlie Wyke on a month's loan – he made his Dons debut with the opening goal in Saturday's 3-0 win at Wycombe Wanderers.
If you are interested, go to the club's website for details.

Menlo Park Council to ignore Specific Plan procedures and its Planning Commission
Original post made by Peter Carpenter on Mar 29, 2013
The project is currently being considered, under the rules and procedures established in the Downtown Specific Plan, by the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission is both holding public hearings and working with the applicant. At the conclusion of their deliberation the Planning Commission will make its recommendations to the Council.
Under these circumstances it is highly inappropriate for the Council to insert itself into the process at this time. To do so both violates the Specific Plan procedures, ignores the role of the Planning Commission and raises the erroneous expectation that the Council is prepared to ignore the parameters of the Specific Plan as they apply to this project.
If the procedures specified in the Specific Plan are ignored and the role of the Planning Commission is ignored then why bother to have either?
on Mar 29, 2013 at 3:58 pm
What is needed is a review of the SP itself. Other cities have found themselves facing unexpected situations early in their own SP implementation. So has Menlo Park.
The city has already ignored the Plan's parking requirements for 555 Glenwood. The city decided to undertake a negotiation for which the SP makes no provision in that same instance. The Council and Planning Commission were surprised with Stanford's initial project proposal (allowed by the SP) and the community concerned about what is possible with almost no check and balance on very large projects with very large impacts.
The right thing to do is to review the Plan itself in light of what is being learned.
on Mar 29, 2013 at 4:12 pm
Peter Carpenter is a registered user.
This is what the Specific Plan states regarding implementation:
"Administration, Processing and
Review of Applications
The Specific Plan retains the existing Zoning Ordinance
procedures for administration, processing, and review of
applications, in particular the Architectural Control and Use
Permit approval processes.
Architectural Control
The Architectural Control procedures as codified in Zoning
Ordinance Section 16.68.020 would apply to all new
construction and additions of more than 100 square feet, as
well as exterior modifications (regardless of whether square
footage is affected) that would not be in conformance with
a previous design approval. The four existing Architectural
Control findings would be supplemented by an additional
(5) That the development is consistent with any
applicable Specific Plan.
The Planning Commission would continue to make
Architectural Control actions, which would be effective
unless appealed to the City Council under the procedures
outlined in Zoning Ordinance Chapter 16.86.
Use Permit
The Use Permit procedures as codified in Zoning
Ordinance Chapter 16.82, Section I and IV would apply
to some but not all uses, as outlined in Table E1 "Land
Use Designations and Allowable Uses". The Use Permit
requirements would apply to new construction as well as
changes of use for the particular conditional uses listed
in Table E1. For new construction of conditional uses,
Architectural Control and Use Permit requests would be
reviewed and acted upon concurrently. The Planning
Commission would continue to make Use Permit actions,
which would be effective unless appealed to the City
Council under the procedures outlined in Zoning Ordinance
Chapter 16.86."
This is what the Specific Plan states regarding plan review and revisions:
"Ongoing Review of Specific Plan
The Specific Plan constitutes a significant and complex
revision of the existing regulations, and there may be
aspects of the plan that do not function precisely as
intended when applied to actual future development
proposals and public improvement projects. In order
to address such issues comprehensively, as well as to
consider the policy-related implications of various Plan
aspects, the Specific Plan recommends that the City
conduct an initial review of the Specific Plan one year
after adoption. In addition, the Specific Plan recommends
that the City conduct an ongoing review every two years
after the initial review. Such reviews should be conducted
with both the Planning Commission and City Council, and
should incorporate public input. Any modifications that
result from this review should be formally presented for
Planning Commission review and City Council action. Minor
technical modifications would generally be anticipated to
be covered by the current Program EIR analysis, while
substantive changes not covered by the Program EIR
would require additional review."
on Mar 29, 2013 at 5:31 pm
Excellent news, Peter -- thank you for sharing (I also received the city council memorandum update via email). I applaud Council Members Keith and Cline for heeding the will of hundreds of residents (Peter's "insignificant minority") by requesting that the Council review the Stanford project, and for noting in their memorandum that "there is sufficient controversy and concern about the proposed mass, scale, mix of uses and potential impacts of the project that we think that the Council should be brought up to date on the status of the application and the review and processing of the application" (the memorande may be read here: Web Link).
Government "for the people," it would seem.

Key Features
Click to See Complete Item Details »
- This magnificent Chinese chess set boasts the finest hand-carved artistry
- Inspired by the Chinese imperial court, the chess pieces are intricately carved of ivory
- Almost certainly made in Hong Kong, this large set is truly a masterpiece
- Circa 1935
- Chessboard: 31 7/8" square x 4 1/4" high; Table: 35 7/8" square x 30 1/4" high
Item Details
- Period:
20th Century
- Origin:
Ornate carving and high relief detailing distinguish this high-quality Chinese ivory chess set. These exceptional figures, each hand-carved of pure and stained ivory, take the form of highly recognizable Chinese figures. Emperors and empresses serve as the kings and queens, court ministers act as bishops, warrior knights who are carved as Mulan, wearing her characteristic hat, ride on horseback, rooks are styled as pagodas and the eight immortals of Chinese mythology, each seated upon his or her sacred animal, serve as pawns. The quality afforded to these wonderful pieces is consistent with that of the ivory carvers of Hong Kong, who specialized in intricate artistry that paid homage to their ancestral roots. With the black king standing at over eight inches, this large set is one of the finest of the period. The exceptional, custom-made lacquered chess board acts as storage for the delicate pieces, with its silk-lined interior, and the matching table completes the set.

text: February 2013 sees the 40th anniversary of the commissioning of Sheffield Power Signal Box. The opening of this signalbox saw the end of the mechanical signalling in the Sheffield area but it did not just stop there. Over a period of time over sixty mechanical and small power signalboxes would gel into just one large PSB. To tell the story of the development of power signalling in the Sheffield control area means stepping back in time further than 1973 and looking at the smaller resignalling schemes that would eventually become part of Sheffield PSB. So, this is a look at those boxes closed just before the Sheffield resignalling scheme and those closed when Sheffield gradually took over their operation, along with views of track rationalisations and new chords and junctions.

Fire officials say winter is prime time for carbon monoxide exposure. Thanks to a state-of-the-art monitor, Lincoln Fire & Rescue crews can detect CO in the bloodstream within seconds.
"They're an important tool in helping save people's lives," Lincoln Fire Capt. Dean Delany said.
It's technology that came in handy for dozens Friday. Officials say they used the device on several people who got sick from a gas leak at the Joyo Theater in Havelock.
Fire crews were called to a group home near 25th and R streets after a few residents reported feeling ill. Some said they were so dizzy they had trouble walking. Black Hills Energy says a faulty furnace at the theater, where the residents had just returned from, was to blame.
"Carbon monoxide is a product of combustion, so with the gas of the furnace it puts out carbon monoxide if it's not properly vented," Delany said.
With a device called the Lifepak 15, rescue personnel can detect CO faster than ever, and it's easier than getting your finger pricked. Delany says a clamp is put on the patient's finger. The monitor measures oxygen levels but will also beep if it detects any carbon monoxide.
"We actually use that on every medical that we go on," Delany said.
Before LFR received the new technology four years ago, officials say carbon monoxide poisoning could go unnoticed, even after a trip to the hospital. Now every fire truck and rescue vehicle in the city is equipped with a Lifepak 15.
"This device helps us identify that and also helps the hospital in treating the patient," Delany said.
Fire officials want to remind everyone to make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm in your home. They say even the smallest leak can build up in your system and become dangerous.

Select Route:
I was worked by this "odub", and had to bail off high on the pitch using my #6 Friend and a sling. It was great!
Sweet offwidth at the far right side of the crag. Go all the way right (some moderate bushwhacking could be involved) past the "right side slab climbs". This will be obvious. OW at the far right, almost at the cliff's end.
Bring the complete OW arsenal. I brought 2 x 4s, 2 x 4.5s (old camalot sizes), a green size big bro, a 6 friend, and some slings. Even with this had to bail high up on the pitch because I didn't have enough big stuff. If you have to lead this, I would suggest bringing at least two cams in the 6 friend realm, and possibly big bro one size higher than green. There was an old looking bolt a little bit higher than where I got to, not sure why (a #5-6 cam would fit there easily?!).

Two southwest suburban men are in trouble after a housekeeper employed by one of their parents became ill after eating a marijuana-laced brownie while cleaning after a party, the SouthtownStar is reporting.
Police said the 57-year-old woman was cleaning the residence of Ajay Sundar's parents in Orland Park on June 7 when she ate a brownie that she found on top of a cabinet. Soon after, she complained to Sundar, 23, that she felt dizzy and nauseous, and he called 911, according to Orland Park police.
They said the woman mentioned eating the brownie to paramedics and that it might've smelled of marijuana. Paramedics informed police, who then questioned Sundar.
He told police that his parents were vacationing overseas, he had some friends over the previous night and one of them, 22-year-old Jibril Ghadban, left with the brownies.
Police contacted Ghadban, who initially did not cooperate but eventually led officers to a trash can containing three containers of pot brownies, police said.
The cleaning woman was taken to a hospital as a precaution, and a urine test revealed marijuana in her bloodstream but she did not want to file charges, according to police.
They said Ghadban, 14259 Brighton Court, and Sundar, 9113 Kensington Way, both of Orland Park, were charged with reckless conduct, a municipal violation.

text: YAKIMA, Wash.-- New developments in the multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Yakima Valley Community Foundation. A judge dismissed the case against YVCF citing a lack of legal grounds. Former employee, John Colgan filed the lawsuit saying he was forced out of the foundation after he took a stand against a racist comment made by another member. The foundation's current CEO says they're happy the case was thrown out. "The litigation itself was never a threat to YVC's goals. It was a distraction from our work and we're glad to have that distraction behind us," said Linda Moore, current president and CEO. Colgan's attorney says he and his client are looking at several options to continue with the lawsuit.
