Worcestershire oesophageal cancer team wins acclaim
4:08pm Wednesday 16th April 2014 in News
A TEAM treating people with upper gastrointestinal cancer across Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire has been nominated for a national award for their work treating people with early oesophageal cancer.
The team have been nominated for the award by the British Medical Journal for their work fighting against the form of the disease, which affects more than 200 people in Worcestershire alone every year.
Worcester MP Robin Walker visited Worcestershire Royal Hospital on Friday, March 21 to meet staff and patients and hear about their experiences.
Brian Harris from Worcester is one of the patients treated by the team after being diagnosed with the disease in March last year.
The 72-year-old said the support of the team had been invaluable during his treatment.
"I was able to get to know other patients and talk to them on the phone before I even had my surgery," he said.
"A lot of people haven't heard of oesophageal cancer and it's hard to describe the feeling of food getting stuck.
"I never felt ill at all, and I couldn't believe it when I heard I had cancer.
"During my treatment, I got phone calls every week from the specialist nurse asking how I was. The whole service was excellent.
"I'm retired now, and I'm concentrating on getting my fitness back so I'll be cycling and playing badminton to keep active."
Those diagnosed with the disease can be treated with a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and all patients in the three counties are able to take part in clinical trials with access to the latest treatments.
Consultant surgeon Martin Wadley said treatments for oesophageal cancer were safer and more effective than they had ever been but survival rates were not dropping.
"The problem is that the symptoms are not well known and many people are diagnosed too late," he said.
"Working with my colleagues in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire we're treating more people earlier.
"Early stage cancer can be treated without major surgery and with excellent results."
Mr Walker described his experience meeting patients and the team as "inspiring".
"I was delighted to congratulate this very special team on their nomination for a national award and see for myself the difference that their work makes to people's lives," he said.
"We are fortunate to have consultants like Martin at Worcester as well as specialist nurses and a new radiotherapy centre coming to the hospital which will help to make us even more of a centre of excellence for cancer treatment."
Symptoms of oesophageal cancer include difficulty swallowing food, a sensation of food being stuck in the chest as it goes down, unexpected weight loss, being sick or bleeding after eating and constant indigestion or heartburn.

By COURTNEY LEWIS
---- — NORTHFIELD, Vt. — Plattsburgh State played a fast-pace first period Friday, pressuring Middlebury most of the way.
But the Cardinals couldn't sustain that through the second.
The Panthers tallied two goals in the middle frame to take the lead and went on to a 3-2 win in the opening game of the PrimeLink Great Northern Shootout men's hockey tournament.
"The pace of that first period was as fast as I've seen in a long time — in over a year," Middlebury coach Bill Beaney said. "Both teams were skating; we had a hard time keeping up with it. They kept putting pressure on us.
"We hung in there. Middle of the period we got some chances, and at the end we made the bad turnover and their guy buried it. And our guys weren't discouraged; we've been coming back. We came out, and I think we were able to maintain the pace a little bit longer than they were."
No. 5 Plattsburgh (5-2) will meet St. Thomas in this afternoon's consolation game, while No. 12 Middlebury (2-0-1) will face Norwich for the championship.
Jared Docking gave Plattsburgh a 1-0 lead with a slapshot from the top of the left circle with just under four minutes left in the first period.
The Cardinals held a 10-7 advantage in shots in the period. The Panthers came out stronger in the second.
"I really think we went into the locker room after the first and just (said), 'Calm down, settle down.' Realized we just had to play our game; we could skate with them," Middlebury goaltender Nick BonDurant said. "We weren't really playing our game in the first, but we started to shape up and it worked out."
Derek Pimentel tied it in the middle of the second period. Riley Dickie came in from the right side and was stopped by Mathieu Cadieux, but Pimentel took a couple of whacks at the rebound out front and found the back of the net.
With less than five minutes left, Evan Neugold skated in and lifted the puck top shelf to put the Panthers in front.
Middlebury increased its lead to 3-1 5:51 into the third when George Ordway showed persistence bringing the puck into the zone and scored unassisted from the slot during 4-on-4 play.
Alex Brenton put the Cardinals back within a goal a little more than two minutes later when he sped to the front of the net and redirected the puck past BonDurant.
Plattsburgh had a great chance a few minutes later, with Mark Constantine and Ryan Farnan coming down on a 2-on-1, but BonDurant turned away Farnan's low shot from the right side. Docking later got open out front but only got a piece of the puck.
"We had some great looks (Friday)," Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said. "We were not opportunistic at all. I thought in the third period alone we had three or four great chances to score, and we didn't get the puck up. A couple open nets. And you don't take advantage of that, you're not going to win many hockey games."
BonDurant finished with 23 saves for Middlebury. Cadieux had 18.
While Emery lamented the missed scoring chances, he was more unhappy with what went on in the other end.
"It's the goals against that bother me. Two out of their three goals we did a very bad job in front of our net picking up sticks," he said. "From a coaching standpoint, the mental mistakes are what you want to work on and kind of tick you off looking back at the loss."
Tory Allan banged in Norwich's first goal 5:50 into the second game. Norwich outshot Saint Thomas 16-4 in the second period. Shane Gorman tallied from out front 5:25 in, and the Cadets ended the period with a 2-0 lead.
The Tommies (5-4-1) climbed back in the third, with Tyler Richter putting them on the board at 5:23 and Rob Vannelli knotting it up with a shot from the left circle with just under six minutes on the clock. But shortly after the equalizer, Kyle Thomas scored on an odd-man rush to put the Cadets (6-0) back on top.
Matic Marinsek made 17 saves for the win.

For the 72nd time- Virginia now has a new governor.
Terry McAuliffe took the oath of office Saturday in a rainy inauguration at the State Capitol.
There is no proof that weather on the day of an inauguration will be any kind of an indication of what kind of governor the person being sworn in will be, but even though conditions today were miserable- Governor Terry McAuliffe found a reason to be optimistic.
For most of the day, rain fell in droves at the State Capitol.
Leslie Jones of Arlington came prepared.
"I have on a dress, with long johns underneath, I have two sets of gloves, I have a trench coat, a hood and um this," she said, pointing to a make shift poncho.
Leslie wasn't alone. Everyone who came, including the former President of the United States Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got wet.
A pallet of umbrellas painted the stands waiting to hear McAuliffe take his position as Virginia's next governor.
"Common ground doesn't move towards us," McAuliffe said. "We move towards it.
But as awful as the weather was, there was a brief moment as the new governor spoke where the sun shined.
The symbolism was not lost on McAuliffe.
"The sun came out as I was starting to speak it was a great day," he said afterward. "I think it was a great omen."
An omen that he will be able to accomplish many of the lofty goals he set on the campaign trail.
They were goals he mentioned specifically in his speech. Expand Medicaid, diversify the Virginia economy and push for improvements to the education system.
As he's promised for several months, McAuliffe vowed- this time as sitting governor- to work with republicans to make it happen.
"The test of my commitment to finding common ground in Virginia will not be a speech at an inauguration; it will be my actions in office," he said. "And I expect those who did not support me in November to hold me to my word."
The stage is finally set; the promises are all in place. Now the work begins.
And that work started as soon as McAuliffe left the stage.
He signed two executive orders. The first prohibits discrimination in state government based on sexual orientation or gender identity. The second limits him and his staff to gifts of only $100 hundred or less.
You can see those full executive orders- and more of the sights and sounds of Inauguration Day on DecisionVirginia.com

The cerebral 'Attack of the Grey Lantern' was a nod to story-telling prog rock and was a breath of fresh air. A classic album.

SPRINGFIELD — Illinois business leaders welcomed Gov. Pat Quinn's call Tuesday for workers' compensation reform, but a key lawmaker cautioned there's a long road ahead before reaching any compromise.
Quinn told participants in the Business Lobby Day in Springfield that an overhaul should happen before the Legislature adjourns at the end of May.
He reiterated a plan he introduced earlier this month that includes a $500 million cut in the amount paid for medical procedures, enhanced authority to find and prosecute fraud, and tighter standards for arbitrators who decide work-related injury claims.
"There will be changes that for some will be inconvenient," Quinn told representatives of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, local chambers and small-business owners. "Sometimes people, when they have inconvenience, they say no, let's just stand still, let's not do anything at all. I think that would be a terrible mistake."
Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, told the business group that the system needed change but acknowledged "the politics of it are very tricky."
"We have to have compromise," Cullerton said. "If you go into negotiations expecting 100 percent of what you want, it's going to be very difficult to proceed down here."
Doug Whitley, president of the Illinois chamber, said any overhaul must include provisions requiring employees to show that their current job caused their injuries before they can collect any payment.
Cullerton and Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno of Lemont put together a study group on the issue shortly after last fall's election.
But there's no concrete legislation awaiting passage.
A House leader on the matter, Democratic Rep. John Bradley of Marion, even sponsored legislation last week that would eliminate workers' compensation all together -- leaving claims entirely to the courts -- because he said negotiations were going nowhere.
The issue took on added urgency after it was reported that federal authorities have begun an investigation into the state's workers' comp program because of Belleville News-Democrat reports on nearly $10 million in payments at Menard Correctional Center in the past three years.
Radogno credited the newspaper for bringing attention to the issue.
"This is an issue that is finally receiving some real serious discussion, bipartisan discussion, and I have to tell you we owe a great debt to the Belleville News-Democrat, Jay Tebbe their publisher, for really bringing this issue alive, for making people realize what a problem we have," Radogno said. "I think individual businesses talk about it, but until you start reading about some of these abuses, it's really difficult to understand how serious this problem is."
The newspaper's investigation has focused on claims at Menard, where about half of the staff has filed claims.
State government, with about 70,000 employees, currently has about 25,000 pending workers' compensation claims.
Radogno told business leaders that one of the contentious issues in the debate is "causation."
"There really is no required that an injury be, that you need to prove it was caused by work," she said. "I've heard horror stories from businesses where, for example, someone was fortunate enough to have their heart attack at work, as opposed to somewhere else, and then the employer's on the hook for the entire amount. Or someone that's worked at a facility for maybe a week and a half, and comes in and needs a knee replacement, that couldn't have possibly occurred during that term of employment, because it's a degenerative illness."
Radogno said any changes to the system should require "some nexus between the workplace and the injury for which they're being compensated."
Quinn's plan would reduce what he says is the nation's second-highest medical fee schedule by 30 percent to save businesses $500 million in workers' comp premiums -- which has already drawn Illinois State Medical Society opposition. He would cap payments for some kinds of injuries, rely more on physical therapy and other treatments and deny claims by intoxicated workers.
Arbitrators who decide claims would be licensed attorneys whose performance would be reviewed and who would serve three-year terms.
Whitley said Quinn's proposal is missing any mention of causation, in which an employee's injury must be related to his current work. The system now allows claims for any injury previous to the current job and relies too much on workers' comp over traditional health insurance.
"Right now, an employee who starts work tomorrow can file a workers' comp claim for all previous experience," Whitley said. "We want to make sure that a workers' comp claim should be related to injury on the job."

So it doesn't have any option to show the dof below 2,8?
That was one of the reasons I wanted the X and not the 5d3. I guess the 5d3 is giving more and more value for money then, lol.
According to one poster here, who has posted it about a half dozen times. I could find nothing from ANY other source to confirm that. So, until such times as there is some sort of official or reliable confirmation. Look at the title of the site, and consider it an unsubstantiated rumor.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- A deal has been reached to establish a medical marijuana program in New York State, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Advocates for the bill asked the governor to support passing the measure before session ends on Thursday.
The bill, also known as the Compassionate Care Act, would legalize medical marijuana for severely ill patients. The deal described Thursday would include the following:
-The deal does not include smoking. Instead, marijuana will be dosed in oils, pills, or be vaporized.
-The governor's office can suspend the program at any time, and the State Police Superintendent can recommend the Governor suspend the program if public risks are discovered.
-Doctors will decide if a patient is eligible, and the patient will then have to apply for a registration card with the Department of Health that they must carry at all times. Dosage will be determined by doctors on a patient basis.
-The DOH would be able to suspend or revoke the card of a patient who willfully violates any provision of the new law.
-There will be five registered organizations to run four dispensaries.
-Illnesses covered:
· Epilepsy
· Multiple Sclerosis
· Parkinson's
· Huntington's
· Neuropathies
· Spinal Cord Injuries
· Cancer
· Inflammatory Bowel Disease
-Other illnesses can be added, as state health officials or the governor's office see fit.
-Health insurers would not be required to provide coverage for medical marijuana.
-Penalty of up to one year in prison for patients giving out their prescribed marijuana.
-It will be a Class E Felony for doctors who give marijuana to patients not in need.
-Marijuana will be subject to lab testing.
-The legislation puts into place a seven percent excise tax on every sale of medical marijuana by a registered organization to a certified patient or designated caregiver.
-The DOH has the authority to issue any necessary regulations to implement the state's medical marijuana program as well as set a price.
Tim Emmerson was among the many people of all different ages and backgrounds came to the Capitol Thursday to urge the governor and the legislature to pass medical marijuana.
"These children shouldn't have to suffer anymore," he said. "The people with MS and cancer don't need to suffer from the side effects of other medications."
Emmerson has a daughter with epilepsy. He believes medical marijuana could help her.
Emmerson was part of a group of parents who stood outside senate chambers to deliver thousands of signed petitions. The door was locked, so the receptionist met them instead.
"Please look around me," parent Kate Hintz pleaded. "Which one of these sick and disabled children, grandparents, vets or husbands are you referring to? None of us are looking for a gateway drug. We are tired of drugs and with one word you could help us."
After the bill was passed, Cuomo said the Compassionate Care Act was sent to the printer and a message of necessity will be used to ensure legislators can vote on it Thursday night.
The bill would take effect immediately and sunset in seven years.

"Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."
– Theodosius Dobzhansky
Below you will find some excerpts from the writings of the late Ernst Mayr (1904 – 2005), one of the leading figures behind placing the thought and research of the field of evolutionary biology on its current path. (See, e.g., the Ernst Mayr Library at Harvard.)
In the first excerpts, Mayr provides a definition of what "Darwinism" means (One Long Argument: Charles Darwin and the Genesis of Modern Evolutionary Thought, Harvard University Press, 1991, pp. 90-107); in the second, taken from his essay "Teleology," Mayr argues why teleological thinking has no place within evolution (What Makes Biology Unique? Cambridge University Press, 2004, pp. 39-66).
For anyone who has fallen prey to the "intelligent design" con, even at the intellectual level (i.e., rejecting right-wing politics, while remaining open to the notion of design and, of course, designers), I strongly recommend the second of these essays in particular. (For a contemporary example of the malevolent designs of "intelligent design," see "Sternberg, Smithsonian, Meyer, And The Paper That Started It All," Discovery Institute News, August 22, 2005. And for an analysis of the con, see "To the Greater Glory of the G.O.P.," ZNet, August 23, 2005.)
As Mayr states his case at various points, the "clarification of the concept of teleology has greatly contributed to the conclusion that biology is a genuine science without any occult properties" (p. 49)—where by clarification, he means, ultimately, its elimination.
"Adaptedness…is an a posteriori result rather than an a priori goal seeking," Mayr writes elsewhere. "For this reason, the word teleological is misleading when applied to adapted features" (p. 58). "There is adaptedness (Kant's Zweckmässigkeit) in living nature but Darwin showed that its origin can be explained materialistically….None of the…teleological processes works backward from an unknown future goal; there is no backward causation" (p. 61).
And so on. For this line of empirically-rooted, anti-dogmatic, genuinely liberated thinking. (Or what Mayr in one passage excerpted below refers to as the "beliefs of every enlightened modern person.")
"Our ignorance of the laws of variation is profound," Darwin himself wrote in On the Origin of Species (1859). "Not in one case out of a hundred can we pretend to assign any reason why this or that part differs, more or less, from the same part in the parents."
Still. Darwin had just concluded (Ch. V, "Laws of Variation," p. 167):
For myself, I venture confidently to look back thousands on thousands of generations, and I see an animal striped like a zebra, but perhaps otherwise very differently constructed, the common parent of our domestic horse, whether or not it be descended from one or more wild stocks, of the ass, the hemionus, quagga, and zebra.
He who believes that each equine species was independently created, will, I presume, assert that each species has been created with a tendency to vary, both under nature and under domestication, in this particular manner, so as often to become striped like other species of the genus; and that each has been created with a strong tendency, when crossed with species inhabiting distant quarters of the world, to produce hybrids resembling in their stripes, not their own parents, but other species of the genus. To admit this view is, as it seems to me, to reject a real for an unreal, or at least for an unknown, cause. It makes the works of God a mere mockery and deception; I would almost as soon believe with the old and ignorant cosmogonists, that fossil shells had never lived, but had been created in stone so as to mock the shells now living on the sea-shore.
Apologies for the truncated nature of the excerpts from Mayr that follow. But I do not feel like transcribing whole chapters verbatim out of published books. So the excerpts will have to suffice.
Anyway. Here goes nothing.

(A) "What Is Darwinism?" (From: One Long Argument: Charles Darwin and the Genesis of Modern Evolutionary Thought, Harvard University Press, 1991, pp. 90-107)
Immediately after 1859 the word Darwinism simply meant a rejection of special creation. If someone rejected special creation and adopted instead the inconstancy of species, common descent, and the incorporation of man into the general evolutionary stream, he was a Darwinian. Neither natural selection nor any special theory of speciation, nor even one's belief in gradual versus saltational evolution, had any relevance to whether at that time one was considered a Darwinian or not….When someone in the 1860s or 1870s attacked Darwinism, he did so primarily in defense of creationism or natural theology against these four Darwinian concepts.
There is…one belief that all true original Darwinians held in common, and that was their rejection of creationism, their rejection of special creation….Nothing was more essential for them than to decide whether evolution is a natural phenomenon or something controlled by God. The conviction that the diversity of the natural world was the result of natural processes and not the work of God was the idea that brought all the so-called Darwinians together in spite of their disagreements on other of Darwin's theories, and in spite of the retention by some of them [e.g., Asa Gray, Alfred Russel Wallace] of other theological arguments. This situation was quite well understood in the post-Origin period and that is why at that time, for Darwin's opponents, Darwinism simply meant denying special creation and replacing it with the theory of evolution and in particular the theory of common descent.
If someone believed that the origin of the diversity of life was due to natural causes, then he was a Darwinian. But if he believed that the living world was the product of creation, then he was an anti-Darwinian.
The rejection of special creation, the inclusion of man into the realm of the living world (the elimination of the special position of man versus the animals), and various other beliefs of every enlightened modern person are ultimately all based on the consequences of the theories contained in the Origin of Species.
Darwin's proposed mechanism, natural selection, was almost universally rejected, but since the fact of evolution and the theory of common descent were so completely convincing after Darwin had pointed them out, other evolutionists simply adopted—instead of natural selection—various other kinds of mechanisms, whether teleological, Lamarckism, or saltational. Indeed, for Darwin himself, as much as be believed in natural selection all his life, it was obviously not his mechanism that was of first important for him but the evidence for evolution and common descent.
The version of Darwinism that developed during the evolutionary synthesis [of the 1930s and 1940s] was characterized by its balanced emphasis both on natural selection and on stochastic processes; by its belief that neither evolution as a whole, nor natural selection in particular cases, is deterministic but rather that both are probabilistic processes; by its emphasis that the origin of diversity is as important a component of evolution as is adaptation; an by its realization that selection for reproductive success is as important a process in evolution as selection for survival qualities.
After 1859, that is, during the first Darwinian revolution, Darwinism for almost everybody meant explaining the living world by natural processes….[D]uring and after the evolutionary synthesis [of the 1930s and 1940s] the term "Darwinism" unanimously meant adaptive evolutionary change under the influence of natural selection, and variational instead of transformational evolution.
(B) "Teleology" (From: What Makes Biology Unique? Cambridge University Press, 2004, pp. 39-66)
[S]ince 1859 no explanation in the biological sciences has been complete until a third kind of question was asked and answered: "why?" It is the evolutionary causation and its explanation that is asked for in this question. Anyone who eliminated evolutionary "why" questions closes the door on a large area of biological research. Therefore it is important for the evolutionary biologist to demonstrate that "why?" questions do not introduce a new metaphysical element into the analysis and that there is no conflict between causal and teleological analysis.
Day is the telos of the night. All processes caused by natural laws sooner or later have an endpoint, but it is misleading to use for this termination the same word telos that is ordinarily used for the goal of a goal-directed process. The endpoint of a non-teleological process is, so to speak, an a posteriori phenomenon.
Descriptions of the physiological functioning of an organ or other biological feature are not teleological. Indeed, in favorable cases, they can be largely translated into physiochemical explanations; they are due to proximate causations. What is involved in an analysis of teleological aspects is the biological role of a structure or activity. Such roles are due to evolutionary causations.
Features that contribute to the adaptedness of an organism are in the philosophical literature usually referred to as teleological or functional systems….It was adopted by the older philosophical literature under the assumption that these features had originated through some teleological force of nature. This assumption was largely a heritage of natural theology, with its belief that the usefulness of each feature had been given by God….Darwin has taught that seemingly teleological evolutionary changes and the production of adapted features are simply the result of variational evolution, consisting of the production of large amounts of variation in every generation, and the probabilistic survival of those individuals remaining after the elimination of the least-fit phenotypes. Adaptedness thus is an a posteriori result rather than an a priori goal seeking. For this reason, the word teleological is misleading when applied to adapted features.
One of the characteristics of adapted features is that they can perform teleonomic activities. They are, so to speak, executive organs for teleonomic programs.
Before the nineteenth century, the belief was almost universal that change in the world was due to an inner force or tendency toward progress and to ever-greater perfection….The most determined opponents of natural selection were teleologists.
There is no cosmic teleology; there is no trend in the world toward progress or perfection. Whatever changes and trends in the cosmos are observed in the course of the world's history, they are the result of the action of natural laws and natural selection.
The process of natural selection, acting in every population, generation for generation, is indeed a mechanism that favors the rise of ever better-adapted species; it favors the invasion of new niches and adaptive zones; and as the end-result of competition among species it would favor development of what are best described as advanced types. Descriptively there is no question about what has happened during the diverse steps from the most primitive bacteria to humans. Whether one is justified in referring to this as progress is still controversial. This much is clear, however: natural selection provides a satisfactory explanation for the course of organic evolution and makes an invoking of supernatural teleological forces unnecessary. And those who accept the occurrence of advance or progress in evolution do not ascribe it as due to teleological forces or tendencies but rather as the product of natural selection.
The removal of [teleological thinking] leaves no residue….The recognition that…seemingly teleological processes…are strictly material phenomena has deprived teleology of its former mystery and supernatural overtones. There is adaptedness (Kant's Zweckmässigkeit) in living nature but Darwin showed that its origin can be explained materialistically. Even though there are indeed many organic processes and activities that are clearly goal-directed, there is no need to involve supernatural forces, because the goal is already coded in the program that directs these activities. Such teleonomic processes, in principle, can be reduced to chemicophysical causes. Finally, there are all the end-achieving processes in inorganic nature that are simply due to the operation of natural laws such as gravity and the laws of thermodynamics. None of the…teleological processes works backward from an unknown future goal; there is no backward causation.
After Darwin established the principle of natural selection, this process was widely interpreted to be teleological, both by supporters and by opponents. Evolution itself was frequently considered a teleological process because it would lead to "improvement" or "progress"….However, it is no longer a reasonable view when one fully appreciates the variational nature of Darwinian evolution, which has no ultimate goal and which, so to speak, starts anew in every generation….[Y]et considering how often natural selection leads into fatal dead ends and considering how often during evolution its premium changes, resulting in an irregular zigzag movement of the evolutionary change, it would seem singularly inappropriate to use the designation teleological for any form of directional evolution. To be sure, natural selection is an optimization process, but it has no definite goal, and, considering the number of constraints and the frequency of chance events, it would be most misleading to call it teleological. Nor is any improvement in adaptation a teleological process, because whether a given evolutionary change qualifies as a contribution to adaptedness is strictly a post hoc decision.
Natural selection deals with properties of individuals of a given generation; it simply does not have any long-range goal, even though this may seem so when one looks backward over a long series of generations.

Motherhood, the Movie, Exposes Real New York Living
October 21, 2009 at 5:08 pm , by Louise Sloan
If you want to know what it's really like to be a regular mom in Manhattan, watch Uma Thurman's character go about her daily errands in the film Motherhood, which opens Friday (October 23). It will show you why grocery shopping in New York City has become a religious experience for me.
Famous writer and fellow single mom Anne Lamott has said that the two best prayers she knows are "Help me, help me, help me" and "thank you, thank you, thank you." I say these prayers pretty much every time I leave the supermarket.
I usually go in with some reasonable list of things: milk, bread, yogurt, garbage bags. I remind myself that it's past the home-delivery cutoff time so I need to be selective. But then I realize that my son and I have to actually eat every day, and I won't have time to shop until the weekend, so the cart gets full and I end up leaving with eight or nine bags, all of which seem to contain cans of buckshot or whole watermelons.

Minister showed 'disgraceful ignorance' claim Conservatives
The Welsh Conservatives have condemned the former Health Minister's decision to refer back objections to changes to hospital services in west Wales. They claim Lesley Griffiths effectively ignored the Community Health Council's concerns about the Hywel Dda Health Board's proposals.
– Shadow Health Minister Darren Millar AM
This move is a disgraceful ignorance of ministerial accountability. It beggars belief that the views of a watchdog representing the public can be so blatantly disregarded. This is effectively bouncing the referral back to the watchdog and avoiding any responsibility. I hope the new health minister – whose appointment is welcome – will take a far more appropriate approach to an issue that affects many thousands of people.
– Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies
The old minister has done little more than pass the buck and it is no surprise that she has been shifted from her portfolio. Her refusal to stand accountable is a sad indictment of a Labour government completely out of touch with Pembrokeshire. I urge the new minister to review this decision and look very carefully at the health board's unnecessary plans."

If you want remote, this is it. A fabulous place surrounded by national forest. Yes, the dirt road is an issue, but we had no problems in an old GMC towing a Jeep Wrangler. (We did drive them out separately). Real big rigs might find it a little tight, but certainly manageable. No cellphone, no Wi-Fi, just surrounded by nature. Owner very friendly and helpful and added a personal touch that you don't often see. No playgrounds, but great attractions in the area that make this a great family stopover. We visited ghost town of Mogollon and took the famous 'Catwalk" scenic trail. Both great things to do in the area. Several nice developed and very private hot springs pools available for an extra price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

First, definitely follow the directions to get here. From Glenwood go past mile marker 55, look for a sign: there is a pair of Binoculars and the #42 above it. It will say "Sundial Day Use Only." Continue down a dirt road, keep going straight. Do not turn down the right hand dirt road: it's rutted and there's no place to comfortably turn around. Ask me how I know!!!! Continue till you come to a gate, reservations are required, have some one jump out and hold and reclose the gate once you are through it. The RV sites are quite generous, and have great rock grills. The host and owner is a chatty gal who really knows the area and is great with suggestions on where to go. There is a bath, (the water is lonely) and a laundry, no extra charge, we had no problem using either. For an additional charge she'll fill the two hot springs for a fabulous hot spring experience. We would definitely return, but probably in spring or fall, not summer. Was $18.50 for 50 amp service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A quirky little park in a remote location; one mile off the highway on a graded Forest Service road. Not for everyone, but definitely the nicest RV park in the Glenwood area. Very spacious sites and clean restrooms and showers. Most sites had a built in BBQ grill. A soak in the hot springs (extra fee) was great after a hike! There is marginal cell phone service in this whole area, so you need to be sure and call ahead for reservations when you can. You have to have a reservation so they know you are coming! Wi-Fi at the office only. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The dirt road coming into the campground is rough on a big rig, shrubs scratch. Once in our site we had a wonderful relaxing visit. The setting couldn't be more perfect and our dish even connected us to the internet with no problem. Don't pass this by if you have the opportunity and want to relax. Take a dip in the hot spring for a special treat. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a wonderful place. Now, this park is not for everyone. If you like bright security lights right outside your RV, if you like the sound of highways, or if you like the noise of close neighbors, this park is not for you. If you like profound quiet, peace, and darkness then try this park. You must make reservations: no drive bys, but it is well worth the extra effort. It is like being at a very exclusive resort or visiting a great relative that actually likes you. We could look out our front window and see Bighorn sheep. We could see great birds all around. It is only a short drive to the Cat Walk (great). This park is not easy to find: it is closer to mile marker 56. There is a very small sign after you turn, that says Sundial road. You will drive a total of about a mile to the park. You will pass a road on the right that says 519a. You will pass two signs that say road closed ahead. You will come to a gate with notices that you should not pass if you do not have reservations. You will be thinking how do I turn around if this does not work. Finally you will come to a great site with only eight RV sites. When we were here, we had no other campers: wonderful! The hot springs: you have to let your host know that you want a bath. It is extra of course, but well worth the cost. We stayed here three nights and did the hot springs every night. We had a totally private pool under the stars: wonderful. So, if you want an interesting experience with quiet, dark, and wonderful views, do give this place a try. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Same as previous reviews. Great place to get away from it all! Signage is hard to find off Route 180 between the 55 & 56 mile markers. From Silver City, it is on the left side. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Small park, secluded, with large sites. No lights, no cable, no phone, no frills...we loved it! The owner, Shelly, is friendly and a lot of fun to talk to. There are hot tubs available, for a fee, filled with geothermally heated water. Great spot for viewing the stars and enjoying the peace and quiet. We'll definitely visit again if we go back to the area. Free wireless at the Glenwood Community Center a few miles north. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is the most beautiful campground we have ever stayed in. It is in the middle of the Gila National Wilderness, 4 miles from the famous "Catwalk" National Recreation Trail. 3 fabulous natural hot springs pools (fee). 360 degree views of magnificent mountains, river valley. Huge sites that can accommodate whichever view you wish to face (east or west) with full hook-ups on both sides. Picnic tables and lovely stone fire/BBQ structures at each site. Several beautiful tent sites. This campground is only for those seeking a true nature experience and who do not wish noise, amenities or entertainment features. Two lovely home-style bathrooms (l handicap accessible), laundry. Nearest stores are in Silver City - about 60 miles south. If you wish to be out of touch with this crazy world and in total touch with nature, complete peace, quiet and totally dark skies full of stars...this is the place. Reservations required. Wonderful owner/manager. We camped here in a Motorhome.

vacation rental description
Rockwood is our cottage at the lake near Cave Rock on the Nevada side of Tahoe. The bedrooms and living room all look out upon the lake which is only a stones throw away. A Kayak is waiting for you on your private beach. Cave Rock area fishing is about the best at Tahoe due to the multitude of spawn than inhabit the shallow waters.
The casino's at Stateline are but five minutes away, and easy access to Heavenly's Nevada ski slopes is via Kingsbury Grade. This charming, rustic vacation cottage, was originally built by a geologist who created its walls with rocks of various colors that he had collected in the High Sierra and out in the desert. He built an interesting stone fireplace in the master bedroom and a living room wall of rocks of a dozen different colors. We like to call it our Geode, a rock with rustic exterior but with a sparking, colorful and bright interior.

Top Challenges for P&C PAS Implementations
The vendor response to many insurers' business requirements is often "configuration," which SMA notes as the top tech priority for PAS replacements.
Insurance Networking News, October 2, 2013
Commercial and personal lines P&C insurers list business tools as their primary challenge during PAS implementations, according to a recent survey by Strategy Meets Action. This is in part because business tools, while a mainstay for the modern policy admin systems currently on the market, are still maturing as many insurers indicated they still require some level of coding.

Prayers in Times of Trouble and Disaster
God is our refuge
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
God is in the midst of the city; it shall not be moved;
God will help it when the morning dawns.
The LORD of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
(from Psalm 46)
Prayer for peace amidst the storm
Living God, our refuge and strength,
even the wind and sea obey your voice.
Put the wind back in its place,
and say to the sea: Peace! Be still!
Fill us with great faith,
and save us from the surging water,
so that we may tell the good news of your saving love;
through Jesus Christ, our hope in the storm.
(based on Mark 4)
Words of Assurance
Now thus says the LORD, your Creator:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you.
For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Thus says the LORD,
who makes a way in the sea,
a path in the mighty waters.
(from Isaiah 43)
A Prayer for Rescue, Recovery and Relief workers
God our help and hope when waters rise,
you brought Israel safely through the sea.
Sustain all those who seek to save others,
so that they may repair the ruined cities,
raise up the former devastations,
and be the restorers of streets to live in;
through Jesus Christ, our eternal savior.
(based on Isaiah 58, 61)
Prayer in Times of Trouble
God of wind and water, stillness and storm,
your Spirit sweeps over the surface of the sea.
Give us faith to seek you in times of trouble.
Reach out your hand to us when we are sinking
so that we may believe and worship you;
through Jesus Christ, Sovereign and Savior.
(based on Matthew 14:22-33)
Prayer in a Time of Disaster
Holy One, you are our comfort and strength
in times of sudden disaster, crisis, or chaos.
Surround us now with your grace and peace
through storm or earthquake, fire or flood.
By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen,
sustain those who work to rescue or rebuild,
and fill us with the hope of your new creation;
through Jesus Christ, our rock and redeemer.
A Prayer in a Time of Distress
Almighty and everlasting God, You are strength to those who suffer and comfort to those who grieve. Let the prayers of your children who are in trouble rise to you.
Hear our prayer.
We claim your promises of wholeness as we pray for those who are ill or are suffering loss and long for your healing touch.
Hear our prayer.
Make the weak strong, the sick healthy, the broken whole, and confirm those who serve them as agents of your love.
Hear our prayer.
To everyone in distress, grant mercy, grant relief, grant refreshment.
Hear our prayer.
As we begin to rebuild, we commend our neighborhoods to your care.
Give us strength of purpose and concern for others, that we may create a community where your will may be done.
Hear our prayer.
God of compassion, you watch our ways,
And weave out of terrible happenings wonders of goodness and grace.
Hear our prayer.
Surround those who have been shaken by tragedy with a sense of your present love,
And hold them in faith.
Though they are lost in grief, may they find you and be comforted;
Through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives and rules this world with you.
A Prayer When the Waters are Rising
Lord, all around us the waters are rising.
I feel so helpless, for I cannot stop the rain from falling or the waters from rising.
I feel so powerless, for the current is strong and my body is tired.
I feel so empty, for our possessions are floating away or anchored in the muddy water.
Lord, all around us the waters are rising.
Grant me your strength, since mine is somewhere downstream.
Grant me your patience, since mine is drowning.
Grant me your perspective, since my loss is in replaceable things, not irreplaceable grace.
Give me eyes to see how precious your gifts are: family and friends, faith and mercy.
And Lord, when the waters rise around me in my spirit, and my faith and hope are swept downstream, help me to remember how you got me through this flood.
In Your Son's name. Amen.
(The Rev. John G. Hamilton, FPC, Rochelle, Ill.)

The ship was spotlessly clean, the menu varied in all restaurants and the staff always had a smile no matter what time of day.We preferred the Freedom dining option, we did use the formal restaurant on formal nights but also ate at the self service buffet and the Italian restaurant, all being equally good in their own right.
The entertainment team worked relentlessly and whipped up a fantastic atmosphere for the 'sail away parties'.
The ports of call were all different, we didn't use the on board excursion facility but managed to visit many places independently, taxis are readily available at each port, but don't forget to haggle the price!
We will be booking with P&O again as we find them to be excellent value, good quality ships and very pleasant staff.
Well done P&O you certainly had four satisfied customers in our party!

A wise punk rocker once said that anxiety is the foundation of society. Sadly, no one seems to recall the second part of that lyric: "suppress it if you can"; whenever a team that is supposed to be good struggles to start the year, fans and analysts alike act as if the world is minutes away from ending.
The Red Sox lived through that early this spring, starting the season with a 2-10 record before playing as expected. Boston had a lot of pressure to perform -- a local paper even went so far as to declare them the best Red Sox team ever before they played a game that counted -- so when things didn't start out all rainbows and puppy dogs, the panic levels hit an all-time high.
There were countless tweets and articles written exclaiming some form of, "no team that has ever started out 0-X has ever made the playoffs", or "won the World Series", or "brought democracy to Cuba." It's a shame that the season had to end two weeks in*, because the Red Sox have made quite the comeback, and now have the top record in the American League in spite of that start, thanks to an 111-win pace since.
*Now they'll never have a shot at taking the World Series trophy from the 2011 Indians!
All of that pessimism after two weeks was due to history. While history is often a great indicator of what is going to happen in the future, sometimes (when you aren't considering invading Russia in the winter, anyways) it can lead you astray. For instance, the average win total for teams that have started 2-10 or worse to begin the year since 1956 is 67. This leads one to believe that maybe any team that starts out 2-10 (or worse) is screwed.
Until you think about it for more than a few seconds. Those 12 games represent just over seven percent of the schedule, meaning Boston still had plenty of time to both catch up and get ahead. They wouldn't be the first team to come back from such an inauspicious beginning, either -- tucked away in that low average win total are a few clubs that should have given the Red Sox fans hope.
The 2001 Oakland Athletics started out with the same 2-10 record Boston did this year. Since this was pre-Moneyball, and many of us were still part of the unwashed masses, expectations may not have been that high for the team in the spring, but the attention they paid to hitters that could take a walk paid off, as Oakland had the third-highest OBP in the American League to go along with the league's top pitching staff, anchored by healthy and working versions of Barry Zito, Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, and Cory Lidle.
If you want to get technical, you could say the poor start cost them the division -- this is the same year the Seattle Mariners won 116 games, and half of those first losses came at the hands of the M's. Those lowly disappointments in Oakland managed to win just 102 games that year, forcing them to settle for the Wild Card.
The only other team to win 90 games or more was in 1982, when the Baltimore Orioles finished with a 94-69 record that put them second in the AL East -- one game behind the division winning Brewers. Unlike Oakland (and Boston), the O's couldn't rely on the Wild Card to help them make up for their start, but it's tough to complain about their performance overall -- they played at nearly a 100-win clip the rest of the way, and won the World Series in 1983 with a very similar looking roster.
That team was expected to do well; the '81 squad finished second in the AL East, and this version was set to have a lot more Cal Ripken Jr. in it -- Ripken had torn up Double- and Triple-A in the two years prior, and was expected to be a big-time major leaguer. Eddie Murray was the first baseman, and the rotation had Dennis Martinez, Mike Flanagan, and an aging but effective Jim Palmer. And, of course, the legendary Earl Weaver running the ship.
There are others that made noise, though none reached the heights of those two squads. The 1974 Pirates won 88 games, and the 1984 Orioles squad also started out 2-10 before finishing with 85 victories.
Now, let's think about the rosters of the 2001 A's and the 1982 Orioles, and really, any of the 43 teams who have started 2-10 or worse to start a season. The A's may be the only one that comes close to the talent that Boston has assembled for the 2011 season -- it's no wonder the track record of teams starting out 2-10 is so poor, as most of the teams are just as bad as their starts indicated.
There were too many people who forgot to have faith in their own idea of how good Boston was, just a few weeks before the early-season massacre. They were swept up in the moment, and by what history told them, too, when all they should have done is sat back, and looked at a roster that, after winning 89 games despite more significant injuries than anyone in 2010, added two of the very best players in the game.
Boston won't necessarily keep up their 111-win pace the rest of the year. They don't have to, though, as their current record -- with the warts from 2-10 and all -- has them on pace for 96 wins this year. Unlike the Orioles (but like the A's) they can likely settle for the Wild Card if another AL East club ends up closer to 100 wins.
It's been said before, but if this stretch happened this month, when there were already plenty of games on the schedule, no one would pay it any mind. Ask around: More people will be able to tell you how bad the Sox started than will be able to tell you how poorly Cleveland has played as of late -- and the latter has been much, much worse. Don't let the narrative overrule common sense.

This recipe is the best pound cake ever. My second time making it, but first time using this recipe. My cake fell in the middle but was still amazing and extremely delicious. Any ideas on why this may of occurred?
By Tori Jackson on January 28, 2014
I can't wait to try this recipe. Sour Cream Pound cake is as southern as it gets. I've made other SC # cakes with Almond and Lemon extract and it tastes like some wedding cakes I've enjoyed. Paula's recipes are always great. I baked her old fashioned oatmeal raisin cookies for a fund raiser and sold out immediately. People were asking for the recipe. Paula, you must know how much you are loved and admired. We all have said and done goofy things in our lives, and no one thought it was a big deal. Because you are in the spotlight and the media is mean spirited, you became the target, but we know better and stand by you 100%. Come back soon, we miss you and love you!
By Zoe on November 19, 2013
the other sites (food network) call for 1 stick of butter...not 2...who is right? thank you
By lee ann on November 05, 2013
OMG this cake was SO moist! It was my first time baking a pound cake and it was so simple and easy to make! I did forget to add vanilla lol but it still tasted great.
By DJ on October 08, 2013
I'm making cakes for a fund raiser for a family in need to help raise money to help their baby girl. I would like to know if I could freeze the sour cream pound cake up ahead of time so I can have more to sell. Thanks, Doris Haralson
By Doris Haralson on August 28, 2013
This is the most moist pound cake I have ever tasted and I am 67 and have had many many of them. Paula our home loves you and respect you very much and it is not the people neither White nor Black who did what was done to you it was the Media and a few people who think they are better than others-99% of Americans Love and respect you.
By clifford Neeley on August 11, 2013
Wonderful especially topped with strawberries and whipping cream. My family loves it and it lasts a day, if that. Everything in moderation... most thinking folks eat extra yummy treats occasionally. You can teach them to cook, but they're responsible for their own common sense. I say, "rock on, Paula."

Best pound cake I have ever made. Had a 8 oz. carton of sour cream ready to expire, when I came across this recipe. Was easy to put together, nice and moist. Thanks for sharing, Paula.

Needed to use up the plain Greek yogurt I had in my fridge and decided on making this pound cake. Took about an hour twenty in the oven but when it was done and cooled it was gone in less than an hour! This one is a keeper.
By Irene on July 10, 2013
Excellent pound cake. I loved the smooth and creamy texture of the cake but the best part was the crust that formed on the top.
By Rebecca on June 27, 2013
I made this with a few changes.. I used 1 tbsp lemon extract instead of vanilla and for the icing I used lemon also.. what a delicious and moist cake.. it was gone by the next day because everyone wanted a piece
By Cassi on May 19, 2013
I made this cake earlier in the week and it was awesome. It did take a little over an hour to bake. I knew I should have made 2. The first cake was gone in 2 days, so I made 2 tonight and lol, I forgot the vanilla extract.... everyone thought it was the same and couldn't taste a difference. I also cut the sugar to 1 1/4 cups. Still soooo good!
By Vikki on April 26, 2013
My daughter and I are huge fans and we enjoy every recipe we try out. But this is by far the best dessert ever! I have so many family members and friends asking me to make this all the time. Its a hit. I wouldn't change a thing on this recipe. MOST DELICIOUS POUND CAKE ever!!! Thanks Paula!
