Polk Senior Games: Competitors Take Shot At 'Ultimate Video Game'
Published: Wednesday, March 5, 2014 at 11:40 p.m.

LAKELAND | Two sounds rang through the air at the Lakeland Rifle and Pistol Club on Wednesday.
"Pull," a voice would yell as a small orange disk, about 3 inches in diameter, spun out of a machine and into the air. The scene went silent as the shooter slowly tracked the disk before shattering that solitude seconds later with the crackling boom from his gun.
It was the scene at the Polk Senior Game's skeet shooting event, one that Winter Haven seasonal resident Terry Ball described as, "The ultimate video game."
"It requires a lot of concentration and focus," said Ball, who lives in Ontario, Canada. "You've got to stay in the game."
Most shooters come armed with their trusty 12-guage shotgun, and the 22 shooters of differing ages and skill levels put their shot to the test in Wednesday's competition.
Shots rang out, and the smell of gunpowder simmered around the shooting area as competitors took turns firing at those round, clay targets — better known as birds at the range. Shooters took aim from eight different stations sandwiched between the high and low houses that launched the disks.
Shooters were scored out of 25 shots, and turns varied between shooting one bird shot from both the high and low tower to doing that and additionally shooting both birds as they're shot simultaneously.
"There's just something about knocking something out of the air," said Gary Brown of Haines City. "I can't hit anything standing still. … My mother always said if deer could fly, I'd get one every year."
Brown, 58, is a certified National Skeet Shooting Association instructor and noted that some of the better shots in this year's games belonged to shooters in their 70s and 80s. Each has a unique routine — Brown likes to track in front of the bird while it glides through the air — but no matter how it's done, they're shooting for repetition.
And no matter the age or experience, the event has hooked shooters of all ages.
"I never really had the desire, I didn't know anything about (shooting skeet)," said Bill Campbell, 69, of Lakeland, a pistol and rifle shooter who began shooting skeet 10 months ago. "I hit 13 out of 25 my first time — just barely over 50 percent — but boy it hooked me."

Flying solo
Bremont, the small but mighty British watch brand established in 2002 by two enthusiastic brothers, has quickly made its mark with stylish and masculine aviation timepieces.
Latest from the brand's founders, Nick and Giles English, is the BC-Solo, a watch that caused a stir at its launch during the Basel World watch fair, for its combination of precision, good looks and remarkable value at just £2,550. The brand's founders, Nick and Giles English, make watches 'conceived by pilots for pilots' and use their love of historic aircraft and all things mechanical to inspire the designs of their sturdy, functional and immensely precise wristwatches.
The Solo has been designed to inspire the wearer to feel the exhilaration of the plane's wheels leaving the ground on a pilot's first solo flight. Designed for clarity and legibility, the BC-Solo looks like a classic pilot's watch and comes in two dial variants, both black with white or cream numerals.
The watch is housed in the classic Bremont 43mm three-piece case made from hardened steel that is more than six times more resistant than normal watch grade steel. The watch is water resistant to 100m and the domed sapphire crystal has nine layers of hardened reflective coating to each side. The Solo has an exhibition case back and a chronometer grade modified Swiss movement.
The BC-Solo is available from July, bremont.com.

The Multipotency of Epicardial Cells and Mammalian Cardiac Repair and Regeneration
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the world. While a wide array of medical and surgical therapies have been developed, few are curative. Stem cell therapy that replaces diseased, dysfunctional cells with healthy, functioning ones could potentially provide more effective treatment for many forms of CVD. To facilitate this, it is important to identify the optimal source of stem cells for achieving cardiac repair and regeneration. Recently, we identified a cardiac progenitor population that arises from the proepicardial organ in mice during embryonic development. These progenitor cells, which express the T-Box transcription factor Tbx18, migrate onto the surface of heart, form epicardium and then make a substantial contribution to cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts and coronary smooth muscle cells. Using an in vitro culture system, we also found Tbx18+ proepicardial cells can differentiate into multiple cardiac lineages. These observations led us to hypothesize that Tbx18-expressing epicardial cells are multipotent cardiac progenitors and that they can provide a cellular source for cardiac repair and regeneration for CVD patients. To test these hypotheses, our specific aims are: 1) To determine fates of Tbx18+ epicardial cells at late gestation and adult heart in mouse. 2) To determine whether Tbx18+ epicardial cells derived from late gestation and adult mouse hearts retain the potential to differentiate into different cardiac lineages in vitro. 3) To determine whether Tbx18+ epicardial cells in the injured mouse heart are able to convert to different cardiac lineages and improve cardiac function in vivo. Results of these studies will determine the multipotency of Tbx18+ epicardial cells at embryonic and adult stages in mouse, providing critical insights concerning the therapeutic potential of these cells for cardiac repair and regeneration in CVD patients.

Two things grow really well in Jamaica. Bob Marley knew about both. The sacrament of the Rastafari is well known, the other not so much. But Bob's son, Rohan Marley has been developing a rich, organic coffee bean grown high in Jamaica's Blue Mountains as one of the many gourmet blends offered by the family brand. Sustainable farming practices and ethical sourcing make Marley coffees taste even sweeter.
Just like Filson's legendary wool hunting coats, their duffle bags are heavy, durable and feature timeless details. It's all about function with a touch of class, like, brass zippers and full-grain bridle leather handles. This sturdy bag is perfectly suited for a weekend car trip or the first class cabin.
We sincerely hope you're too young to remember watching this show. Rocky & Bullwinkle were a 60s phenomena: an adventuresome squirrel and a dim-witted moose who fought villains. Like most good cartoons, the adult humor was written to go right over the kid's heads. And it did, making the series classic. This boxed set gives you 5 seasons of zany adventure—that's over 90 episodes—plus a heap of special material.

You can't buy good taste, but with enough money someone else can buy it for you. That's where Manhattan-based "Mantique" aficionado Nicholas Brawer comes in. He's an art historian and British furniture expert who surrounds himself with unique industrial treasures. His Upper East Side gallery is a showplace for a revolving collection of the finest in manly artifacts.
Double-take! No, it's not a restored and modded '66 Toyota Land Cruiser. It might actually be better than the classic safari wagon it's modeled after. The FJ44 is a new, handmade custom utility machine built by Van Nuys, California's ICON. Designer/builder Jonathan Ward produces this and other models marrying classic 'Yota styling with new alloy bodies, new engines and a sick array of custom parts. Like a steering wheel from a Caterpillar earth mover, Mercedes softtops, and interior bits from Lear jets.
When the movie SuperSize Me revealed that one McDonald's burger contained meat from up to 500 different cows, people freaked. As they should. In general, eating red meat is risky enough. So knowing where your meat is coming from is critical knowledge. Food expert Deborah Krasner explains the best ways to source (and prepare) grass-fed, free-range and local meats in this 400-page guide/cookbook.
You can't safely open a 1961 Chateau Cheval Blanc or a bottle of Ponsot's Clos de la Roche 1980 with the corkscrew you keep on your keychain. When it comes to fine vintage wines, uncorking them with care is the only way. Fragile corks are easily removed with this simple, 2-part cork tool designed for and used by wine collectors the world over. When you're drinking your best bottles, hints of "cork" are not what you want for a finish.
Hope you never have 127 hours to yourself, stuck out in the wilderness. But with this ultra-compact survival kit, you might actually make it out without having to cut off your arm. Weighing just over 6 ounces, it's light enough to bring on every adventure. It's got fire-starting tinder, 150lb-test nylon cord, mil-spec stainless steel wire, and an emergency fishing kit. Better to have it and not need it than vice-versa.
Unlike many rock stars, guitar legend Eric Clapton survived addiction. Back in the 80s, he started helping others do the same by opening a rehab facility in the Virgin Islands. And now "Slow Hand" is auctioning off truckloads of his personal gear to help out his Crossroads Centre. In March, classic amplifiers and guitars will go up on the auction block. Imagine, you can own an axe he used in Derek & The Dominos or an amp he played on tour: that's more amazing than a rock star recovery.

I had heard that having a burrito from Papalote was an essential San Fran experience so I headed there for lunch and had my second burrito of the day! I had the regular soyrizo burrito. It was also freaking huge! I'm known for eating ridiculously large amounts of food and I had some trouble finishing this burrito! It was really good but I think I actually liked my breakfast burrito better.
I spent the day strolling around the Golden Gate Park and visiting the Academy of Science and the Conservatory of Flowers. Then I headed up to 9th Ave and Irving area. I knew I wanted to go to Patxi's Chicago Pizza (Irving location) for dinner but I was still stuffed from lunch so I strolled around for a little but. This is a great area, there are lots of neat shops, health food stores and bakeries with vegan goodies. I picked up some vegan cookies from Arizmendi Bakery (1331 9th Ave). When I was finally hungry again I headed back to Patxi's. They have a bunch of crust options and after much deliberation I decided to get the 'regular' crust. This pizza was simply perfect, nothing more to say. Unfortunately I so excited to eat it that i didn't get a great pic.
So far I had been really disappointed by the lack of exciting vegan ice cream options in San Fran. So you can image how excited I was to see this sign:
I went in and they had an entire case of vegan flavors. And not just fruit flavors. They also had vegan cookies and brownies and their waffle cones are vegan!!! The place is called Holy Gelato and they are only a few blocks from Patxi's, so make sure you save room for dessert! I went for all the junky flavors with scoops of Coconut Heaven (coconut milk based ice cream with chocolate chips, toasted coconut and toasted almonds), Charlie Brown's Nightmare (soy based ice cream with chocolate, peanut butter and cookies) and Irish Morning (coconut milk based with coffee, fudge, cookies and Whiskey). Best vegan ice cream I've tasted!!!!!!! This place is a must visit for vegans heading to San Fransisco!
I had a hard time finding ice cream online, so I will definitely have to check that place out during my visit next week.

I know! I did tons of online searching before I left and I never saw anything about Holy Gelato. They're not new either. I keep meaning to write into Happy Cow about them.
Wow! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a completely different subject
but it has pretty much the same page layout and design.
Superb choice of colors!

Chlorophyll fluorescence
Chlorophyll fluorescence is light that has been re-emitted after being absorbed by chlorophyll molecules of plant leaves. By measuring the intensity and nature of this fluorescence, plant ecophysiology can be investigated.

Assessing plant physiology[edit]
Light energy that has been absorbed by a leaf will excite electrons in chlorophyll molecules. Energy in photosystem II can be converted to chemical energy to drive photosynthesis (photochemistry). If photochemistry is inefficient, excess energy can damage the leaf. Energy can be emitted (known as energy quenching) in the form of heat (called non-photochemical quenching) or emitted as chlorophyll fluorescence. These three processes are in competition, so fluorescence yield is high when less energy is emitted as heat or used in photochemistry. Therefore, by measuring the amount of chlorophyll fluorescence, the efficiency of photochemistry and non-photochemical quenching can be assessed.
The fluorescence emitted from a leaf has a longer wavelength than the light absorbed by the leaf. Therefore, fluorescence can be measured by shining a defined wavelength of light onto a leaf and measuring the level of light emitted at longer wavelengths.
By measuring chlorophyll fluorescence, plant ecophysiology can be investigated. Chlorophyll fluorometers are used by plant researchers to assess plant stress. Gitelson (1999) states, "The ratio between chlorophyll fluorescence at 735 nm and the wavelength range 700nm to 710 nm, F735/F700 was found to be linearly proportional to the chlorophyll content (with determination coefficient, r2, more than 0.95) and thus this ratio can be used as a precise indicator of chlorophyll content in plant leaves."[1]
The Kautsky effect[edit]
Upon illumination of a dark-adapted leaf, there is a rapid rise in fluorescence from Photosystem II (PSII), followed by a slow decline. First observed by Kautsky et al., 1960, this is called the Kautsky Effect.
The increase in fluorescence is due to PSII reaction centers being in a "closed" state. Reaction centers are "closed" when unable to accept further electrons. This occurs when electron acceptors downstream of PSII have not yet passed their electrons to a subsequent electron carrier, so are unable to accept another electron. Closed reaction centres reduce the overall photochemical efficiency, and so increases the level of fluorescence. Transferring a leaf from dark into light increases the proportion of closed PSII reaction centres, so fluorescence levels increase for 1–2 seconds. Subsequently, fluorescence decreases over a few minutes. This is due to; 1. more "photochemical quenching" in which electrons are transported away from PSII due to enzymes involved in carbon fixation; and 2. more "non-photochemical quenching" in which more energy is converted to heat.
Measuring fluorescence[edit]
Usually the initial measurement is the minimal level of fluorescence, . This is the fluorescence in the absence of photosynthetic light.[2]
To use measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence to analyse photosynthesis, researchers must distinguish between photochemical quenching and non-photochemical quenching (heat dissipation). This is achieved by stopping photochemistry, which allows researchers to measure fluorescence in the presence of non-photochemical quenching alone. To reduce photochemical quenching to negligible levels, a high intensity, short flash of light is applied to the leaf. This transiently closes all PSII reaction centres, which prevents energy of PSII being passed to downstream electron carriers. Non-photochemical quenching will not be affected if the flash is short. During the flash, the fluorescence reaches the level reached in the absence of any photochemical quenching, known as maximum fluorescence .[2]
The efficiency of photochemical quenching (which is a proxy of the efficiency of PSII) can be estimated by comparing to the steady yield of fluorescence in the light and the yield of fluorescence in the absence of photosynthetic light .[3] The efficiency of non-photochemical quenching is altered by various internal and external factors. Alterations in heat dissipation mean changes in . Heat dissipation cannot be totally stopped, so the yield of chlorophyll fluorescence in the absence of non-photochemical quenching cannot be measured. Therefore, researchers use a dark-adapted point () with which to compare estimations of non-photochemical quenching.[2][3]
Common fluorescence parameters[edit]
: Minimal fluorescence (arbitrary units). Fluorescence level when all antenna pigment complexes associated with the photosystem are assumed to be open (dark adapted).[3]
: Maximal fluorescence (arbitrary units). Fluorescence level when a high intensity flash has been applied. All antenna sites are assumed to be closed.[3]
: Terminal fluorescence (arbitrary units). Fluorescence quenching value at the end of the test.
: Half rise time from to .
Calculated parameters[edit]
is variable fluorescence. Calculated as = - .[4]
is the ratio of variable fluorescence to maximal fluorescence. Calculated as . This is a measure of the maximum efficiency of PSII (the efficiency if all PSII centres were open). can be used to estimate the potential efficiency of PSII by taking dark-adapted measurements.[3]
measures the efficiency of Photosystem II. Calculated as . This parameter measures the proportion of light absorbed by PSII that is used in photochemistry. As such, it can give a measure of the rate of linear electron transport and so indicates overall photosynthesis.
(photochemical quenching). Calculated as . This parameter approximates the proportion of PSII reaction centres that are open.
Whilst gives an estimation of the efficiency, and tell us which processes which have altered the efficiency. Closure of reaction centers as a result of a high intensity light will alter the value of . Changes in the efficiency of non-photochemical quenching will alter the ratio .[3]
Applications of the Theory[edit]
PSII yield as a measure of photosynthesis[edit]
Chlorophyll fluorescence appears to measure of photosynthesis, but this is an over-simplification. Fluorescence can measure the efficiency of PSII photochemistry, which can be used to estimate the rate of linear electron transport by multiplying by the light intensity. However, researchers generally mean carbon fixation when they refer to photosynthesis. Electron transport and CO2 fixation can correlate well, but may not correlate in the field due to processes such as photorespiration, nitrogen metabolism and the Mehler reaction.
- De Martino et al. (2007)[5] examined banana peel degreening after treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Many parameters were measured, including chlorophyll fluorescence since fluorescense is a measure of chloroplast photochemical efficiency. 1-MCP treatment was shown to delay the decrease in chlorophyll fluorescence. Greenness and photochemical efficiency decreased simultaneously after ethylene treatment, suggesting that changes in chlorophyll fluorescence were responsible for the patterns of de-greening. After 7 and 8 days, values of 1-MCP peel were ca. 3-fold the values of the other treatments, showing that 1-MCP treated fruit maintain their photochemical efficiency when the other treatment regimes do not.
Relating electron transport to carbon fixation[edit]
A powerful research technique is to simultaneously measure chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange to obtain a full picture of the response of plants to their environment. One technique is to simultaneously measure CO2 fixation and PSII photochemistry at different light intensities, in non-photorespiratory conditions. A plot of CO2 fixation and PSII photochemistry indicates the electron requirement per molecule CO2 fixed. From this estimation, the extent of photorespiration may be estimated. This has been used to explore the significance of photorespiration as a photoprotective mechanism during drought.
Fluorescence analysis can also be applied to understanding the effects of low and high temperatures.
- Sobrado (2008)[6] investigated gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence responses to high intensity light, of pioneer species and forest species. Midday leaf gas exchange was measured using a photosynthesis system, which measured net photosynthetic rate, gs, and intercellular CO2 concentration (). In the same leaves used for gas exchange measurements, chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters (initial, ; maximum, ; and variable, ) were measured using a fluorometer. The results showed that despite pioneer species and forest species occupying different habitats, both showed similar vulnerability to midday photoinhibition in sun-exposed leaves.
Measuring stress and stress tolerance[edit]
Chlorophyll fluorescence can measure most types of plant stress. Chlorophyll fluorescence can be used as a proxy of plant stress because environmental stresses, e.g. extremes of temperature, light and water availability, can reduce the ability of a plant to metabolise normally. This can mean an imbalance between the absorption of light energy by chlorophyll and the use of energy in photosynthesis.[7]
- Favaretto et al. (2010)[8] investigated adaptation to a strong light environment in pioneer and late successional species, grown under 100% and 10% light. Numerous parameters, including chlorophyll a fluorescence, were measured. A greater decline in under full sun light in the late-successional species than in the pioneer species was observed. Overall, their results show that pioneer species perform better under high-sun light than late- successional species, suggesting that pioneer plants have more potential tolerance to photo-oxidative damage.
- Neocleous and Vasilakakis (2009)[4] investigated the response of raspberry to boron and salt stress. An chlorophyll fluorometer was used to measure , and . The leaf chlorophyll fluorescence was not significantly affected by NaCl concentration when B concentration was low. When B was increased, leaf chlorophyll fluorescence was reduced under saline conditions. It could be concluded that the combined effect of B and NaCl on raspberries induces a toxic effect in photochemical parameters.
Chlorophyll fluorometers[edit]
The development of portable fluorometers has allowed chlorophyll fluorescence to become a common method of measuring plant stress in plant ecophysiology studies. Chlorophyll fluorescence has been revolutionized by the use of modulated chlorophyll fluorometers in which the light source is modulated (rapidly switched on and off) and the detector is tuned to detect only fluorescence excited by the measuring light. This means the relative yield of fluorescence can be measured in the presence of background light. Crucially, this means chlorophyll fluorescence can be measured in the field in full sunlight.[2] Most modern fluorometers are modulated.
Some modulated fluorometers can determine both ambient light and dark adaptation parameters (Fo, Fm, Fv/Fm, Y, Ft, Foq, Fms and OJIP transients) and can calculate photochemical and non-photochemical quenching coefficients (qP, qN and NPQ). In contrast, some fluorometers are slimmed down, and designed to be portable and operated in one hand.
A recent advancement in chlorophyll fluorescence is the development of imaging fluorometers which can visualize spatial heterogeneities in photosynthetic activity of a sample.
- Nitrogen Balance Index
Because of the link between chlorophyll content and nitrogen content in leaves, chlorophyll fluorometers can be used to detect nitrogen deficiency in plants, by several methods.
Based on several years of research and experimentation, polyphenols can be the indicators of nitrogen status of a plant. For instance, when a plant is under optimal conditions, it favours its primary metabolism and synthesises the proteins (nitrogen molecules) containing chlorophyll, and few flavonols (carbon-based secondary compounds). On the other hand, in case of lack of nitrogen, we will observe an increased production of flavonols by the plant.[9]
The NBI (Nitrogen Balance Index) by Force-A, allows the assessment of nitrogen conditions of a culture by calculating the ratio between Chlorophyll and Flavonols (related to Nitrogen/Carbon allocation) .
Alternative approaches[edit]
LIF sensors[edit]
Techniques based on the Kautsky effect do not exhaust the variety of detection and evaluation methods based on the chlorophyll fluorescence. In particular, recent advances in the area of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) also provide an opportunity of developing sufficiently compact and efficient sensors for photophysiological status and biomass assessments. Instead of measuring the evolution of the total fluorescence flux, such sensors record the spectral density of this flux exited by strong monochromatic laser light pulses of nanoseconds duration. Requiring no 15- 20 min dark adaptation period (as is the case for the Kautsky effect methods[10]) and being capable to excite the sample from considerable distance, the LIF sensors can provide fast and remote evaluation.
- Application of the LIF technique to the assessment of drought stress in cork oak (Quercus suber) and maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) on the basis of chlorophyll emission ratio I685/I740 is described in Ref.[11] Recently the LIF sensing technique was harnessed to address the role of pPLAIIα protein in the protection of the photosynthetic metabolism during drought stress using genetically modified Arabidopsis plants.[12]
- In 2011, Vieira et al. applied a compact low-cost LIF sensor[13] (built around a frequency-doubled solid-state Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and a specially modified commercial miniature fiber optic spectrometer Ocean Optics USB4000) to study intertidal microphytobenthos communities. Chlorophyll emission enabled the researchers to adequately assess the surface biomass and track migratory rhythms of epipelic benthic microalgae in muddy sediments.[14]

IDB funds Youth Information Centre for Hanover
THE Ministry of Youth and Culture, this week, signed a contract valued at approximately $40 million for the construction of a Youth Information Centre (YIC) in Hanover.
When completed, the centre, to be located at Watson Taylor Park in Lucea, will be the 11th built across the island to provide a space where young people can go to access information on issues affecting them, use the computers, complete their assignments, get training, or just to 'hang out' and be comfortable with their peers.
It will have office spaces, a cyber café, resource area, meeting rooms, a multi-purpose room, a stage for the performing arts, and an all-purpose court, among other amenities. The complex will be constructed by D R Foote Construction Company Limited, with the National Works Agency (NWA) managing the project.
Addressing the signing ceremony, Minister of Youth and Culture Lisa Hanna thanked the Inter-American Development Bank for providing the funds committed to the project.
She informed that, since the first YIC was developed in Portmore, St Catherine, in 2003, there has been a thrust to ensure that every parish is equipped with one so that young people will have a space to converge, access to information, and develop synergies.
The minister noted that the Hanover centre is an investment in the people of that parish. "It is a $40- million investment that the Government will be making in the people of Hanover, particularly the young people, and we want to say it is going to be a space that will redound to the best interest of not only Hanover, but also surrounding areas," Hanna said.
She pointed out that youth in rural Jamaica have particular needs, and even though they may have the same access to information, as everybody else, they sometimes lack the spaces to make their dreams come true.
"It is important for this Ministry to not leave anybody out," Ms Hanna said.
She urged the contractors to put their all into the project to ensure that it is done within the seven months to which they are committed.
Hanna and acting permanent secretary in the ministry, Sherril O'Reggio Angus signed on behalf of the government; Phillip Foote of D R Foote Construction Company Limited signed on behalf of the contractors, while state minister in the Ministry of Water, Land, Environment and Climate Change, and member of parliament for West Hanover, Ian Hayles, witnessed the signing.
In the meantime, project manager of the Youth Development Programme, Margery Newlands, informed that two other YICs under construction will be opened soon. The May Pen centre is expected to be opened next month, while the Spanish Town centre is scheduled to be opened soon thereafter.

Have Americans been denied health care because they did not have the means to pay for it? Have Americans been denied timely treatment? Have Americans been denied high quality care because of where they live? The answers to these questions are not the issues in supporting or opposing a government ran mandated health care plan for everyone. They are however, the basics for seeking a solution so they can always be answered No.
Just how realistic is this mission? Are we asking for the impossible? Many countries have tried, but none have been completely successful.
With varying results Canada, Ireland, England, France, Germany, and other counties have a government controlled health care plan for everyone.
From their successes and their failures we have an opportunity to learn what are realistic expectations in a national government health program.
Surely we don't believe the forth-coming national health care plan is going to be the same quality as our elected officials in Washington. And if the middle & lower class and lower classes believe that the special care received by the wealthy will disappear, they are just in denial.
In many of the countries with a national controlled health plan, services are delayed, people die waiting for dialysis/surgery/cancer treatment, and people are neighed aggressive attempts to extend their lives (when they are alcoholic, elderly, obese, diabetic, on dialysis, mentally non-functional, or bed ridden), and the level of care is lower than is common in America. Semi-private rooms are rare in many of these countries for individual on the government plan only.
For years our federal government health care program for the elderly denies hospitals payments pass a set number of days based upon the patients diagnosis. The highest trained and skilled surgeons often refuse to accept government payments—patient must be able to pay their full charge for services. Even many general practice clinics will not accept Medicare payments as payments in full for care. Often the drugs requested by the physician to provide the best care for the patient is not on the government approved drug list (called formulary), therefore denied. It often does not pay a single dime for emergency room visits payments if the patient is not sick enough for admission. The "insurance" requires a co-payments, payment of premiums, pays less and covers less than most major insurance carriers, and still fails to self funding.
Is it realistic to believe all Americans are going to get Champagne health care, Americans will not be denied health care, Americans will not be denied timely treatment, and Americans will have easy access to health care?

Bio and Links
I am the ancestry fanatic in my family.
I add any photos or information I personally acquire from actually going to cemeteries and from public records. Please inform me of any mistakes and/or corrections that should be made. I try extremely hard to enter correct information, but mistakes can be made. Also, if I have added a relative of yours that is not directly related to me I will gladly transfer ownership to you.
I will be happy to take photos of any cemeteries or headstones in my area that I possibly can to be able to help someone find their own family history.
Also, everyone using F.A.G. has my permission to use any photographs that I have taken to post to their Ancestry.com or use in emails to friends or family, etc. But NOT for use on any website or in any publications of any kind without my consent.
Happy Hunting!

Pearl Gravette
Hi Bobbi
I noticed that in Pearl's list of siblings her name is listed as one of the siblings? Is there a way to remove this?
Also do you know who supplied her husband's name as Charles O.T Gravette? I have only seen his name as Obediah Timothy or O. T. Gravette. I had heard that Charles O. T. Gravette was his name but can not find any proof.
Thank you

Travis Williams
Hello, Bobbi!
I have been trying to find information about my Grandma Eula Bradley Williams. I know that she had two sons in her first marriage. Her husband was R. Lee Williams. Her first son died at the age of two, and his name was Victor Arnold. He second son was named Travis and would have been born around 1917, probably in Lindon, Cass County, Texas.
I don't know what became of the marriage between Grandma Eula and Lee Williams, but see married my Grandpa John Ellis Jones, Sr. In 1938, and Travis is listed in the 1930 census as a step son to my Grandfather.
I got excited when I saw that your maiden name is Bradley because my Grandma Eula's maiden name is Bradley.
Would you know if the mother of your Travis Williams is my Grandma Eulaleia Bradley Williams Jones?
I hope to hear from you soon.

Floyd L Conner
Hello: I noticed you had made a memorial for Floyd L Conner, and I wondered if you would know if his parents are buried close by-Arthur and Lilly Conner? I have put both Arthur and Lilly on find a grave under this cemetery, then posted a request for a stone photo, but have had no response. If Arthur and Lilly are not there, I need to know for sure so I can add their stone photo's or remove their memorials.
Thank you so very much for all the work you do for all of us who can't go to the graves ourselves!

At least once a game, it seems, Jazz rookie Trey Burke drives around a high screen, turns toward the basket and abruptly picks up his dribble.
Instead slashing to the rim, Burke makes the split-second decision to try something else. He pulls up and launches a 15-foot jumper from an angle — sometimes from an extremely difficult angle. Upon release, Burke's shot looks too flat and far off line. Watching it, you think the ball had no chance of going into the basket.
But, more often than not, it does. Off the glass and in.
Burke will play the 32nd game of his NBA career Saturday night, when the Jazz battle the Washington Wizards at EnergySolutions Arena. He's been working on his pull-up bank shot, however, since he first picked up a basketball.
It is an unusual weapon in today's drive-and-kick, 3-point dominated NBA.
"I've been practicing it a long time," Burke says. "It's been one of my sweet-spot shots since I was young. Every time I get to the elbow — coming off a screen or in transition — that's kind of my guide to making that basket. Hitting the ball off the backboard is something I've always practiced."
Burke credits an AAU coach in Ohio, Victor Dandridge, with teaching him the importance of using the glass to make angle jumpers.
"I still keep in touch with him now," Burke said. "He says that's his favorite shot of mine — hitting that backboard shot. He used to make me practice it a lot.
"… I think I already had it, but I developed it when he worked me out. He made me shoot it over and over again. I think that's why I can make it when some guards can't."
Burke can't recall ever winning a game by banking in a jumper at the buzzer but says "that shot has come in handy a lot of times. I've made some big baskets using the glass. I've always been comfortable with it."
Years ago, most NBA players were comfortable shooting off the backboard. In fact, they were expected to make bank shots.
"When I coached," Frank Layden said, "we practiced shooting the ball that way. We called it 'automatic.' … It was a shot our guys used all the time."
Before Red Auerbach died, Layden remembers talking to the legendary Boston Celtics coach about the issue.
"Red said, 'I don't know why we don't use it more. We used to use it so much,'" Layden recalled.
According to Burke, some of his Utah teammates have teased him about how he often line-drives the ball off the glass. He's not planning to make any major changes, however.
"They always get on me because they say I shoot it too hard," Burke said. "They want me to get under it a little more — shoot it a little softer. But I have confidence to shoot it this way."
There is one characteristic of Burke's bank shot that coach Tyrone Corbin sees as a huge advantage.
"He can shoot it one-handed, and that allows him to get the ball away from the defender," Corbin explained. "He's not the tallest guy, so he uses that to get the ball clear. … It's a good shot."
Jazz backup point guard John Lucas agrees.
"It's a lost art," he said, "and Trey doesn't miss too many of them."
The question of using the glass or shooting the ball directly at the basket has been part of the conversation in the NBA for a long time. The Spurs' Tim Duncan still regularly uses the glass, but generally speaking, the shot went out of vogue long ago.
Consider the opinions that players expressed in a Sports Illustrated story that was written in 1999:
• Grant Hill: "I don't like the bank shot. I never really practiced it, so I'm not really comfortable with it."
• Tim Hardaway: "The only angle I consider is straight in."
• Derek Harper: "It's old school. It's not glamorous, and today, if it's not glamorous, it won't work."
Don't tell Burke.
"It's something I'll continue to do," he said.
"Guys don't make any shots anymore, let alone bank shots. Guys today just want to dunk and shoot three-pointers."
— Larry Bird, Sports Illustrated, 1999

You are here: FIA Region I European Bureau News News Archive Answer to Parliamentary Question: Safety of children's car seats
Previous Next
Publication date: 20 May 2009
WRITTEN QUESTION by Luca Romagnoli (NI) to the Commission Subject: Safety of children's car seats Every year in Europe, 5 000 children die in car accidents because they have not been transported correctly. Data of a disturbing nature have emerged from a recent survey carried out by Automobile Club Europa on the quality of children's car seats and how they are used. The greatest risk is from shocks to the side of the vehicle, which are commonest on urban roads and against which many of the seat types currently available afford little protection. The same survey also states that 40% of children in Europe are transported without seats and over 50% in incorrect fashion, in other words using non-approved equipment, not of the right size or not properly assembled. Some parents justify not using seats on the grounds of their children's unwillingness to sit still, the redundant nature of the equipment or the fact that they are driving short distances. The negligence of certain parents is compounded by what is indeed the unsuitability of seats which, while complying with the norms, do not offer sufficient protection against lateral shocks and may also be difficult to put in place. In the case of seats with Isofix anchorage, apparently the safest since their bars are incorporated into the car seat proper, thus conferring stability on the child's seat, the anchorage system varies from one model of car to another, making it impossible fully to ensure children's safety on the road. Is the Commission aware of these problems? What action does it intend to take?Does the Commission not believe that, in addition to the approval requirements for individual children's seats, there is a need for a uniform system for anchoring them to the car seats proper for the different models of motor vehicle?Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission The Commission is aware of the important safety issues that need to be addressed to ensure that child restraint systems used in cars offer adequate protection in case of accident. In this respect, the attention of the Honourable Member is drawn to the Commission's answer to question H-0351/08 of 16 June 2008[1], which provided information on the envisaged actions to enhance the safety of child restraint systems in general and the protection against side impacts in particular.The current review of Regulation N° 44 on child restraint systems by the United Nations Economic Committee for Europe, as referred to in the Commission reply to question H-0351/08, includes the development of performance criteria and testing methods to ensure that child restraint systems also provide sufficient protection against side impacts as well.The need for a uniform anchoring system for child restraint systems is also addressed in the context of the review of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Regulation No 44. Indeed, the development of performance criteria and testing methods for an Isofix integral "universal" child restraint system has been identified as a first priority, in which the interoperability with the vehicle will be addressed.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------[1] http://www.europarl.europa.eu/QP-WEB/home.jspSource: European Parliament
